	 	5.	 SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN AND TO AWARDS 

(a)    Aggregate Limits. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan shall be equal to
Nine Hundred Eighty One Thousand Eight Hundred (981,800)1 plus any shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan as of the Effective Date that on or after such date
cease for any reason to be subject to such awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards to the extent they are exercised for or settled in vested and nonforfeitable shares).. As of the Effective Date, no new grants shall be
made under the Prior Plan. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for grant under this Plan and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards outstanding at the time of any event described in Section 14 shall be
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14. The shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan may be shares that are authorized and unissued or shares that were reacquired by the Company, including shares
purchased in the open market. 
 (b)    Issuance of Shares. For purposes of Section 5(a), the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock issued under this Plan at any time shall equal only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon exercise or settlement of an Award. Shares of Common Stock subject to Awards that have been canceled,
expired, forfeited or otherwise not issued under an Award and shares of Common Stock subject to Awards settled in cash shall not count as shares of Common Stock issued under this Plan. The aggregate number of shares available for issuance under this
Plan at any time shall not be reduced by (i) shares subject to Awards that have been terminated, expired unexercised, forfeited or settled in cash, (ii) shares subject to Awards that have been retained or withheld by the Company in payment
or satisfaction of the exercise price, purchase price or tax withholding obligation of an Award, or (iii) shares subject to Awards that otherwise do not result in the issuance of shares in connection with payment or settlement thereof. In
addition, shares that have been delivered (either actually or by attestation) to the Company in payment or satisfaction of the exercise price, purchase price or tax withholding obligation of an Award shall be available for issuance under this Plan.

 (c)    Substitute Awards. Substitute Awards shall not reduce the shares of Common Stock authorized for
issuance under the Plan or authorized for grant to a Participant in any calendar year. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary, or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines, has shares available
under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to
the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan; provided that Awards using such
available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals
who were employees of such acquired or combined company before such acquisition or combination.

 6 

 (d)    Tax Code Limits. The aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan shall be equal to Nine Hundred Eighty One Thousand Eight Hundred (981,800), which number shall be calculated and adjusted pursuant to
Section 14 only to the extent that such calculation or adjustment will not affect the status of any option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code.    . 

(e)    Limits on Awards to Non-Employee Directors. Following the
effectiveness of a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering shares of the Company’s Common Stock in connection with an initial public offering of the Company, the aggregate dollar value of
equity-based (based on the grant date Fair Market Value of equity-based Awards) and cash compensation granted under this Plan or otherwise during any calendar year to any non-employee director shall not exceed
$250,000; provided, however, that (i) in the calendar year in which a non-employee director first joins the Board or (ii) in any calendar year during which a
non-employee director is designated as Chairman of the Board or Lead Director or Chair of a committee of the Board, the maximum aggregate dollar value of equity-based and cash compensation granted to the non-employee director may be up to One Hundred Twenty Five percent (125%) of the foregoing limit. 
  

	 	6.	 ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 

(a)    Administrator of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Board shall fill vacancies
on, and from time to time may remove or add members to, the Committee. The Committee shall act pursuant to a majority vote or unanimous written consent. Any power of the Committee may also be exercised by the Board, except to the extent that the
grant or exercise of such authority would cause any Award or transaction to become subject to (or lose an exemption under) the short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Act. To the extent that any permitted action taken by the
Board conflicts with action taken by the Committee, the Board action shall control. To the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, the Committee (or any successor) may by resolution delegate any or all of its authority to one or more
subcommittees composed of one or more directors and/or officers of the Company, and any such subcommittee shall be treated as the Committee for all purposes under this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board or the Committee (or any
successor) delegates to a subcommittee comprised of one or more officers of the Company (who are not also directors) the authority to grant Awards, the resolution so authorizing such subcommittee shall specify the total number of shares of Common
Stock such subcommittee may award pursuant to such delegated authority, and no such subcommittee shall designate any officer serving thereon or any executive officer or non-employee director of the Company as
a recipient of any Awards granted under such delegated authority. The Committee hereby delegates to and designates the General Counsel and/or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and each one of them, and to his or her delegates or designees,
the authority to assist the Committee in the day-to-day administration of the Plan and of Awards granted under the Plan, including without limitation those powers set
forth in Section 6(b)(iv) through (ix) and to execute agreements evidencing Awards made under this Plan or other documents entered into under this Plan on behalf of the Committee or the Company.

  
 7 

 
The Committee may further designate and delegate to one or more additional officers or employees of the Company or any subsidiary, and/or one or more agents, authority to assist the Committee in
any or all aspects of the day-to-day administration of the Plan and/or of Awards granted under the Plan. 

(b)    Powers of Committee. Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall be authorized and
empowered to do all things that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration of this Plan, including, without limitation: 

(i)    to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan and to define terms not
otherwise defined herein; 
 (ii)    to determine which persons are Eligible Persons, to which of such
Eligible Persons, if any, Awards shall be granted hereunder and the timing of any such Awards; 

(iii)    to prescribe and amend the terms of the Award Agreements, to grant Awards and determine the terms
and conditions thereof; 
 (iv)    to establish and verify the extent of satisfaction of any performance
goals or other conditions applicable to the grant, issuance, retention, vesting, exercisability or settlement of any Award; 

(v)    to prescribe and amend the terms of or form of any document or notice required to be delivered to
the Company by Participants under this Plan; 
 (vi)    to determine the extent to which adjustments are
required pursuant to Section 14; 
 (vii)    to interpret and construe this Plan, any rules and
regulations under this Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder, and to make exceptions to any such provisions if the Committee, in good faith, determines that it is appropriate to do so; 

(viii)    to approve corrections in the documentation or administration of any Award; and 

(ix)    to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.

 Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award that is “deferred compensation” under
Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall exercise its discretion in a manner that causes such Awards to be compliant with or exempt from the requirements of such Code section. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee shall not take
any action with respect to any Award which constitutes (i) a modification of a stock right within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(B) so as to constitute the grant of a new stock right,
(ii) an extension of a stock right, including the addition of a feature for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1 (b)(5)(v)(C), or (iii) an impermissible
acceleration of a payment date or a subsequent deferral of a stock right subject to Section 409A of the Code within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(E). 

  
 8 

 The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, without amendment to the Plan but
subject to the limitations otherwise set forth in Section 18, waive or amend the operation of Plan provisions respecting exercise after termination of employment or service to the Company or an Affiliate. The Committee or any member thereof
may, in its sole and absolute discretion and, except as otherwise provided in Section 18, waive, settle or adjust any of the terms of any Award so as to avoid unanticipated consequences or address unanticipated events (including any temporary
closure of an applicable stock exchange, disruption of communications or natural catastrophe). 

(c)    Determinations by the Committee. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee or other
authorized delegate regarding the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan and the terms and conditions of or operation of any Award granted hereunder, shall be final and binding on all Participants, beneficiaries, heirs, assigns or other
persons holding or claiming rights under the Plan or any Award. The Committee or other authorized delegate shall consider such factors as it deems relevant, in its sole and absolute discretion, in making such decisions, determinations and
interpretations including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any officer or other employee of the Company and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select. Members of the Board, members of the Committee, and
officers and other employees of the Company acting under the Plan shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the advice of counsel and shall incur no liability except for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of their
duties. 
 (d)    Subsidiary Awards. In the case of a grant of an Award to any Participant employed by a
Subsidiary, such grant may, if the Committee so directs, be implemented by the Company issuing any subject shares of Common Stock to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may determine, upon the condition or understanding
that the Subsidiary will transfer the shares of Common Stock to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, such Award may
be issued by and in the name of the Subsidiary and shall be deemed granted on such date as the Committee shall determine. 
  

	 	7.	 PLAN AWARDS 

(a)    Terms Set Forth in Award Agreement. Awards may be granted to Eligible Persons as determined by the Committee
at any time and from time to time prior to the termination of the Plan. The terms and conditions of each Award shall be set forth in an Award Agreement in a form approved by the Committee for such Award, which Award Agreement may contain such terms
and conditions as specified from time to time by the Committee, provided such terms and conditions do not conflict with the Plan. The Award Agreement for any Award (other than Restricted Stock awards) shall include the time or times at or within
which and the consideration, if any, for which any shares of Common Stock may be acquired from the Company. The terms of Awards may vary among Participants, and the Plan does not impose upon the Committee any requirement to make Awards subject to
uniform terms. Accordingly, the terms of individual Award Agreements may vary. 

  
 9 

 (b)    Rights of a Stockholder. A Participant shall have no
rights as a stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by an Award (including voting rights) until the date the Participant becomes the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or
other rights for which the record date is prior to such date, except as provided in Section 10(b) or Section 14 of this Plan or as otherwise provided by the Committee. 

 

	 	8.	 OPTIONS 

(a)    Grant, Term and Price. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of any Option shall occur at
such time and be subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the Committee, which may include conditions based on continued employment or engagement, passage of time, attainment of age and/or
service requirements, and/or satisfaction of performance conditions. The term of an Option shall in no event be greater than ten years; provided, however, the term of an Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) shall be automatically extended
if, at the time of its scheduled expiration, the Participant holding such Option is prohibited by law or the Company’s insider trading policy from exercising the Option, which extension shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day following the
date such prohibition no longer applies. The Committee will establish the price at which Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Option, which, in no event will be less than the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of grant;
provided, however, that the exercise price per share of Common Stock with respect to an Option that is granted as a Substitute Award may be less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date such Option is granted if such
exercise price is based on a formula set forth in the terms of the options held by such optionees or in the terms of the agreement providing for such merger or other acquisition that satisfies the requirements of (i) Section 409A of the
Code, if such options held by such optionees are not intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, and (ii) Section 424(a) of the Code, if such options held by such optionees
are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. The exercise price of any Option may be paid in cash or such other method as determined by the Committee, including an irrevocable
commitment by a broker to pay over such amount from a sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable under an Option, the delivery of previously owned shares of Common Stock or withholding of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise. 

(b)    Termination of Employment. Unless an Option earlier expires upon the expiration date established pursuant to
Section 8(a), upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment, his or her rights to exercise an Option then held shall be only as follows, unless the Committee specifies otherwise (either in an Award Agreement or otherwise): 

(i)    Unvested Options. In the event of a Participant’s Termination of Employment for any
reason, all unvested Options shall remain unexercisable and shall terminate as of the date of Participant’s Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, in the event of a non-employee director’s Termination of Employment, all unvested Options shall fully vest and become exercisable on the date of such Termination of Employment, provided that such
non-employee director was in good standing at the time of such Termination of Employment, as determined in the good faith discretion of the Committee. 

  
 10 

 (ii)    Vested Options – Death. In the event
of a Participant’s Termination of Employment due to Participant’s death, the Participant’s Options then held shall be exercisable by his or her estate, heir or beneficiary at any time during the one (1) year period commencing on
the date of Participant’s death to the extent that the Options are exercisable as of that date. Any and all of the deceased Participant’s Options that are not exercised during the one (1) year period commencing on the date of
Participant’s death shall terminate as of the end of such one (1) year period. 

(iii)    Vested Options – Disability. In the event of a Participant’s Termination of
Employment due to Participant’s Disability, the Participant’s Options then held shall be exercisable by Participant at any time during the one (1) year period commencing on the date of Participant’s Termination of Employment to
the extent that the Options are exercisable as of that date. Any and all of the Participant’s Options that are not exercised during the one (1) year period commencing on the date of Participant’s Termination of Employment shall
terminate as of the end of such one (1) year period. 
 (iv)    Vested Options – Cause.
In the event of a Participant’s Termination of Employment for Cause, any Option that is unexercised prior to the date of Participant’s Termination of Employment shall terminate as of such date. 

(v)    Vested Options - Other Reasons. Upon the date of a Participant’s Termination of
Employment for any reason other than those stated above in Sections 8(b)(ii), 8(b)(iii) or 8(b)(iv), the Participant’s Options then held shall be exercisable by Participant at any time during the two (2) month period commencing on the date
of Participant’s Termination of Employment to the extent that the Options are exercisable as of that date. Any and all of the Participant’s Options that are not exercised during the two (2) month period commencing on the date of
Participant’s Termination of Employment shall terminate as of the end of such two (2) month period. 

(c)    No Repricing without Stockholder Approval. Following the Company’s Common Stock being listed on any
established stock exchange, system or market, other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 14), the Committee shall not, without stockholder approval, reduce the exercise price of a
previously awarded Option and, at any time when the exercise price of a previously awarded Option is above the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock, the Committee shall not, without stockholder approval, cancel and re-grant or exchange such Option for cash or a new Award with a lower (or no) exercise price. 

(d)    No Reload Grants. Options shall not be granted under the Plan in consideration for and shall not be
conditioned upon the delivery of shares of Common Stock to the Company in payment of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligation under any other employee stock option. 

(e)    Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, in the case of the
grant of an Incentive Stock Option, if the Participant owns stock possessing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (a “10% Stockholder”), the exercise price of such Option must be at least 110%
of the Fair Market 

  
 11 

 
Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant and the Option must expire within a period of not more than five (5) years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 8 to the contrary, options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall not be eligible for treatment under the Code as Incentive Stock Options (and will be deemed to be Nonqualified Stock Options) to the extent that either (a) the
aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock (determined as of the time of grant) with respect to which such Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any
Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted, or (b) such Options otherwise remain exercisable but are not exercised within three (3) months (or such other period of time provided in
Section 422 of the Code) of separation of service (as determined in accordance with Section 3401(c) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder). 

(f)    No Stockholder Rights. Participants shall have no voting rights and will have no rights to receive dividends
or Dividend Equivalents in respect of an Option or any shares of Common Stock subject to an Option until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares. 
  

	 	9.	 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 

(a)    General Terms. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of any Stock Appreciation Right
shall occur at such time and be subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the Committee, which may include conditions based on continued employment or engagement, passage of time, attainment
of age and/or service requirements, and/or satisfaction of performance conditions. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants from time to time either in tandem with or as a component of Options granted under the Plan (“tandem
SARs”) or not in conjunction with other Awards (“freestanding SARs”). Upon exercise of a tandem SAR as to some or all of the shares covered by the grant, the related Option shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number
of shares covered by such exercise. Conversely, if the related Option is exercised as to some or all of the shares covered by the grant, the related tandem SAR, if any, shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of shares covered by
the Option exercise. Any Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option may be granted at the same time such Option is granted or at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such Option, provided that the Fair Market Value of
Common Stock on the date of the SAR’s grant is not greater than the exercise price of the related Option. All freestanding SARs shall be granted subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Options as set forth in Section 8 and
all tandem SARs shall have the same exercise price as the Option to which they relate. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 and the immediately preceding sentence, the Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Stock
Appreciation Right as it shall deem appropriate. Stock Appreciation Rights may be settled in Common Stock, cash, Restricted Stock or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. 

(b)    No Repricing without Stockholder Approval. Following the Company’s Common Stock being listed on any
established stock exchange, system or market, other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 14), the Committee shall not, without stockholder approval, reduce the exercise price of a
previously 

  
 12 

 
awarded Stock Appreciation Right and, at any time when the exercise price of a previously awarded Stock Appreciation Right is above the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock, the Committee
shall not, without stockholder approval, cancel and re-grant or exchange such Stock Appreciation Right for cash or a new Award with a lower (or no) exercise price. 

(c)    No Stockholder Rights. Participants shall have no voting rights and will have no rights to receive dividends
or Dividend Equivalents in respect of an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights or any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares. 

 

	 	10.	 RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 

(a)    Vesting and Performance Criteria. The grant, issuance, vesting and/or settlement of any Award of Restricted
Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall occur at such time and be subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee or under criteria established by the Committee, which may include conditions based on continued employment or
engagement, passage of time, attainment of age and/or service requirements, and/or satisfaction of performance conditions. In addition, the Committee shall have the right to grant Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards as the form of
payment for grants or rights earned or due under other stockholder-approved compensation plans or arrangements of the Company. 

(b)    Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee (whether in an Award Agreement or
otherwise), in the event of Participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason, all unvested Restricted Stock Awards shall be forfeited, and all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall terminate as of the date of Participant’s
Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, in the event of a non-employee director’s Termination of Employment, provided that such non-employee director was in good standing at the time of such Termination of Employment, as determined in the good faith discretion of the Committee, (i) all unvested Restricted Stock Awards shall fully vest
on the date of such Termination of Employment, and (ii) all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall fully vest on the date of such Termination of Employment, provided that such Termination of Employment constitutes a Separation from Service. 

(c)    Dividends and Distributions. Participants in whose name Restricted Stock is granted shall be entitled to
receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to those shares of Common Stock, unless determined otherwise by the Committee. The Committee will determine whether any such dividends or distributions will be automatically reinvested
in additional shares of Restricted Stock and/or subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were distributed or whether such dividends or distributions will be paid in cash. Shares
underlying Restricted Stock Units shall be entitled to dividends or distributions only to the extent provided by the Committee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will dividends or Dividend Equivalents be paid during the
performance period with respect to unearned Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that are subject to performance-based vesting criteria. Dividends or Dividend Equivalents accrued on such shares shall become payable no earlier than
the date the performance-based vesting criteria have been achieved and the underlying shares or Restricted Stock Units have been earned. 

  
 13 

	 	11.	 QUALIFYING PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION 

(a)    General. The Committee may establish performance criteria and level of achievement versus such criteria that
shall determine the number of shares of Common Stock, or Restricted Stock Units to be granted, retained, vested, issued or issuable under or in settlement of or the amount payable pursuant to an Award, which criteria may be based on Performance
Criteria or other standards of financial performance and/or personal performance evaluations, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. A Performance Award may be identified as “Performance Share,” “Performance
Equity,” “Performance Unit” or other such term as chosen by the Committee. 

(b)    Performance Criteria. For purposes of this Plan, the term “Performance Criteria” shall mean
any one or more of the following performance criteria, or derivations of such performance criteria, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a business division or unit or Subsidiary,
either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous
years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the Committee: (i) cash flow (before or after dividends), (ii) earning or earnings per share (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization), (iii) stock price, (iv) return on equity, (v) total stockholder return, (vi) return on capital or investment (including return on total capital, return on invested capital, or return on investment),
(vii) return on assets or net assets, (viii) market capitalization, (ix) economic value added, (x) debt leverage (debt to capital), (xi) revenue, (xii) income or net income, (xiii) operating income,
(xiv) operating profit or net operating profit, (xv) operating margin or profit margin, (xvi) return on operating revenue, (xvii) cash from operations, (xviii) operating ratio, (xix) operating revenue,
(xx) customer service, or (xxi) or such other Performance Criteria as determined by the Committee. 
  

	 	12.	 DEFERRAL OF PAYMENT 

The Committee may, in an Award Agreement or otherwise, provide for the deferred delivery of Common Stock or cash upon settlement, vesting or
other events with respect to Restricted Stock Units. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will any election to defer the delivery of Common Stock or any other payment with respect to any Award be allowed if the Committee
determines, in its sole discretion, that the deferral would result in the imposition of the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code. No Award shall provide for deferral of compensation that does not comply with Section 409A
of the Code. The Company, the Board and the Committee shall have no liability to a Participant, or any other party, if an Award that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for
any action taken by the Board or the Committee. 
  

	 	13.	 CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS UPON SECURITIES SUBJECT TO AWARDS 

The Committee may provide that the Common Stock issued pursuant to an Award shall be subject to such further agreements, restrictions,
conditions or limitations as the Committee in its discretion may specify prior to the exercise of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right or the 

  
 14 

 
grant, vesting or settlement of such Award, including without limitation, conditions on vesting or transferability, forfeiture or repurchase provisions and method of payment for the Common Stock
issued upon exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award (including the actual or constructive surrender of Common Stock already owned by the Participant) or payment of taxes arising in connection with an Award. Without limiting the foregoing, such
restrictions may address the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any shares of Common Stock issued under an Award, including without limitation (i) restrictions under an
insider trading policy or pursuant to applicable law, (ii) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant and holders of other Company equity compensation arrangements, (iii) restrictions
as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers and (iv) provisions requiring Common Stock be sold on the open market or to the Company in order to satisfy tax withholding or other obligations. 

 

	 	14.	 ADJUSTMENT OF AND CHANGES IN THE STOCK 

(a)    The number and kind of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under this Plan (including under any Awards
then outstanding), and the number and kind of shares of Common Stock subject to the limits set forth in Section 5 of this Plan, shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee to reflect any reorganization, reclassification, combination of shares,
stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, dividend or distribution of securities, property or cash (other than regular, quarterly cash dividends), or any other event or transaction that affects the number or
kind of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Such adjustment may be designed to comply with Section 424 of the Code or may be designed to treat the shares of Common Stock available under the Plan and subject to Awards as if they were all
outstanding on the record date for such event or transaction or to increase the number of such shares of Common Stock to reflect a deemed reinvestment in shares of Common Stock of the amount distributed to the Company’s securityholders. The
terms of any outstanding Award shall also be equitably adjusted by the Committee as to price, number or kind of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award, vesting, and other terms to reflect the foregoing events, which adjustments need not be
uniform as between different Awards or different types of Awards. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or issuable pursuant to such an adjustment. 

(b)    In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any
stock or other securities into which such Common Stock shall have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged, by reason of a Change in Control, other merger, consolidation or otherwise, then the Committee shall determine the appropriate
and equitable adjustment to be effected, which adjustments need not be uniform between different Awards or different types of Awards. In addition, in the event of such change described in this paragraph, the Committee may accelerate the time or
times at which any Award may be exercised, consistent with and as otherwise permitted under Section 409A of the Code, and may provide for cancellation of such accelerated Awards that are not exercised within a time prescribed by the Committee
in its sole discretion. 
 (c)    Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Award Agreement or another contract,
including an employment or services agreement, or under the terms of a transaction constituting a Change in Control, in the event of a Change in Control, any acquiring or surviving company in the transaction (the “Successor”) may
assume or continue any outstanding Award 

  
 15 

 
under the Plan or may substitute awards with substantially equivalent economic value (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to stockholders in the transaction by which the
Change in Control occurs). In the event any Successor declines to assume or continue such outstanding Awards or to substitute similar stock awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then the Board in its sole discretion and without liability to
any Person may (1) provide for the payment of a cash amount in exchange for the cancellation of an Award equal to its fair value (as determined in the good faith determination of the Board) which, in the case of certain Awards (i.e., Options),
shall equal the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock at such time over the exercise price, if any, times (y) the total number of shares then subject to such Award, (2) continue the
Awards, or (3) provide for the cancellation of any outstanding and unexercised Awards upon or following the closing of the transaction by which the Change in Control occurs. The Board shall not be obligated to treat all Awards, even those that
are of the same type, in the same manner. 
 (d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14 to the contrary, in
the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may provide for the cancellation and cash settlement of all outstanding Awards upon such Change in Control. 

(e)    The Company shall notify Participants holding Awards subject to any adjustments pursuant to this Section 14 of
such adjustment, but (whether or not notice is given) such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan. 

(f)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14 to the contrary, an adjustment to an Option or Stock Appreciation
Right under this Section 14 shall be made in a manner that will not result in the grant of a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right under Section 409A of the Code. 
  

	 	15.	 TRANSFERABILITY 

Each Award may not be sold, transferred for value, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by a Participant other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, and each Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only by the Participant during his or her lifetime. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) outstanding Options may be exercised following
the Participant’s death by the Participant’s beneficiaries or as permitted by the Committee, (ii) a Participant may transfer or assign an Award as a gift to an entity wholly owned by such Participant (an “Assignee
Entity”), provided that such Assignee Entity shall be entitled to exercise assigned Options and Stock Appreciation Rights only during lifetime of the assigning Participant (or following the assigning Participant’s death, by the
Participant’s beneficiaries or as otherwise permitted by the Committee) and provided further that such Assignee Entity shall not further sell, pledge, transfer, assign or otherwise alienate or hypothecate such Award and (iii) an Award may
be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order, provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may be deemed to be a Nonqualified Stock Option as a result of such transfer. 

  
 16 

	 	16.	 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS 

This Plan, the grant, issuance, vesting, exercise and settlement of Awards hereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell, issue or
deliver shares of Common Stock under such Awards, shall be subject to all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, stock exchange rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency
as may be required. The Company shall not be required to register in a Participant’s name or deliver Common Stock prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of such shares under any foreign, federal, state or local law or any
ruling or regulation of any government body which the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable. To the extent the Company is unable to or the Committee deems it infeasible to obtain authority from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Common Stock hereunder, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the
failure to issue or sell such shares of Common Stock as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. No Option shall be exercisable and no Common Stock shall be issued and/or transferable under any other Award unless a
registration statement with respect to the Common Stock underlying such Option is effective and current or the Company has determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such registration is unnecessary. 

In the event an Award is granted to or held by a Participant who is employed or providing services outside the United States, the Committee
may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of the Plan or of such Award as they pertain to such individual to comply with applicable foreign law or to recognize differences in local law, currency or tax policy. The Committee may also impose
conditions on the grant, issuance, exercise, vesting, settlement or retention of Awards in order to comply with such foreign law and/or to minimize the Company’s obligations with respect to tax equalization for Participants employed outside
their home country. 
  

	 	17.	 WITHHOLDING 

To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, the Committee may and/or a Participant shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise with respect to any Award, or the issuance or sale of any shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not be required to recognize any Participant rights
under an Award, to issue shares of Common Stock or to recognize the disposition of such shares of Common Stock until such obligations are satisfied. To the extent permitted or required by the Committee, these obligations may or shall be satisfied by
the Company withholding cash from any compensation otherwise payable to or for the benefit of a Participant, the Company withholding a portion of the shares of Common Stock that otherwise would be issued to a Participant under such Award or any
other award held by the Participant or by the Participant tendering to the Company cash or, if allowed by the Committee, shares of Common Stock. 
  

	 	18.	 AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN OR AWARDS 

The Board may amend, alter or discontinue this Plan and the Committee may amend, or alter any agreement or other document evidencing an Award
made under this Plan but, except as 

  
 17 

 
provided pursuant to the provisions of Section 14, no such amendment shall, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company: 

(a)    increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which Awards may be granted under this Plan; 

(b)    reduce the price at which Options may be granted below the price provided for in Section 8(a); 

(c)    reprice outstanding Options or SARs as described in 8(b) and 9(b); 

(d)    extend the term of this Plan; 

(e)    change the class of persons eligible to be Participants; 

(f)    increase the individual maximum limits in Section 5(d) or 5(e); or 

(g)    otherwise amend the Plan in any manner requiring stockholder approval by law or the rules of any stock exchange or
market or quotation system on which the Common Stock is traded, listed or quoted. 
 No amendment or alteration to the Plan or an Award or
Award Agreement shall be made which would materially impair the rights of the holder of an Award, without such holder’s consent, provided that no such consent shall be required if the Committee determines in its sole discretion and prior to the
date of any Change in Control that such amendment or alteration either (i) is required or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy any law or regulation or to meet the requirements of or avoid adverse financial
accounting consequences under any accounting standard, or (ii) is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award, or that any such diminishment has been adequately compensated. 

 

	 	19.	 NO LIABILITY OF COMPANY 

The Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate which is in existence or hereafter comes into existence, the Board and the Committee shall not be
liable to a Participant or any other person as to: (a) the non-issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the
authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Common Stock hereunder; and (b) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the
receipt, vesting, exercise or settlement of any Award granted hereunder. 
  

	 	20.	 NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF PLAN 

Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be
construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of Restricted Stock or stock options otherwise than
under this Plan or an arrangement not intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m), and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 

  
 18 

	 	21.	 GOVERNING LAW 

This Plan and any agreements or other documents hereunder shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware and applicable federal law. Any reference in this Plan or in the agreement or other document evidencing any Awards to a provision of law or to a rule or regulation shall be deemed to include any successor law, rule or regulation of similar
effect or applicability. 
  

	 	22.	 NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT, REELECTION OR CONTINUED SERVICE 

Nothing in this Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its
Affiliates to terminate any Participant’s employment, service on the Board or service at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law, nor shall this Plan or an Award itself confer upon any Participant any right to continue his or her
employment or service for any specified period of time. Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company, any Subsidiary and/or its Affiliates. Subject to Sections 4 and 19, this Plan
and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates. 

 

	 	23.	 SPECIFIED EMPLOYEE DELAY 

To the extent any payment under this Plan is considered deferred compensation subject to the restrictions contained in Section 409A of the
Code, such payment may not be made to a specified employee (as determined in accordance with a uniform policy adopted by the Company with respect to all arrangements subject to Section 409A of the Code) upon Separation from Service before the
date that is six months after the specified employee’s Separation form Service (or, if earlier, the specified employee’s death). Any payment that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid on the
sixth month plus one day following the specified employee’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, as soon as administratively practicable after the specified employee’s death). 

 

	 	24.	 NO LIABILITY OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS 

No member of the Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his or her
behalf in his or her capacity as a member of the Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other employee, officer or director of the Company
to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of
any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or willful bad faith; provided, however, that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim
against any such person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be 

  
 19 

 
exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time),
as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 
  

	 	25.	 SEVERABILITY 

If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any
Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended
without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full
force and effect. 
  

	 	26.	 UNFUNDED PLAN 

The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan. Participants are and shall at all times be general creditors of the Company with respect to their
Awards. If the Committee or the Company chooses to set aside funds in a trust or otherwise for the payment of Awards under the Plan, such funds shall at all times be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Company in the event of its
bankruptcy or insolvency. 
  

	 	27.	 CLAWBACK/RECOUPMENT 

Awards granted under this Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company adopts or is required to
adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other
applicable law. In addition, the Board may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Board determines necessary or appropriate, including but not limited to a reacquisition right in respect of
previously acquired shares of Common Stock or other cash or property upon the occurrence of misconduct. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason” or be
deemed a “constructive termination” (or any similar term) as such terms are used in any agreement between any Participant and the Company.

 Exhibit 10.26 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 
 TO

 AMENDED AND RESTATED 

2017 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 

WHEREAS, Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. (the “Company”) maintains the Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. Amended
and Restated 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Board
of Directors of the Company have determined it in the best interests of the Company to amend the Plan pursuant to Section 13 thereof to provide for an additional number of shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Plan) currently available for
issuance under the Plan. 
 NOW THEREFORE, effective as of the date approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Plan is hereby amended as
follows: 
  

	 	1.	 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Plan. 

  

	 	2.	 Stock Subject to the Plan. The first sentence of Section 5(a) of the Plan shall be amended and
restated in its entirety to reflect the increase in available shares of Common Stock to read as follows: 

 “The
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan shall be equal to One Million Forty One Thousand Eight Hundred (1,041,800) plus any shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan as of the Effective Date
that on or after such date cease for any reason to be subject to such awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards to the extent they are exercised for or settled in vested and nonforfeitable shares).” 

Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, all other terms and conditions set forth in the Plan shall remain in full force and effect. 

This Amendment has been adopted by the Board of Directors as of February 24, 2020.
