Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Registrant’s bylaws, as amended (“Bylaws”) provide that it shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of Registrant, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of Registrant as a director or officer, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, and may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to such an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was or has agreed to become an employee or agent of Registrant, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of Registrant as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person or on such person’s behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful; except that in the case of an action or suit by or in the right of Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor (1) such indemnification shall be limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and (2) no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to Registrant unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

The Bylaws also provide that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by Registrant as authorized in the Bylaws. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as Registrant’s Board of Directors deems appropriate. Registrant’s Board of Directors may authorize Registrant’s counsel to represent such director, officer, employee or agent in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not Registrant is a party to such action, suit or proceeding.

The Bylaws provide that the foregoing indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be a contract between Registrant and each director, officer, employee and agent who serves in any such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as the relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any action, suit or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. The Bylaws provide that such contract right may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such director, officer, employee or agent.

The Bylaws provide that the foregoing indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in the indemnified person’s official capacity and as to action in another

capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

The Bylaws provide that Registrant shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of Registrant as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him or on his behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not Registrant would have the power to indemnify such persons against such liability under the provisions of the Bylaws, provided that such insurance is available on acceptable terms, which determination shall be made by a vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors.

Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that its directors shall not be personally liable to Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Registrant or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Registrant has obtained director and officer liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers that insures its directors and officers against certain losses and insures Registrant against certain of its obligations to indemnify such directors and officers.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of Manlius, State of New York, on June 17, 2020.

The name of the Corporation is PAR Technology Corporation (the “Corporation”).

SECOND

The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is The Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle 19801. The name of its registered agent at that address is The Corporation Trust Company.

THIRD

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a Corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

FOURTH

1. The total number of shares of capital stock which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is fifty-nine million (59,000,000) shares of stock, par value $0.02 per share, consisting of fifty-eight million (58,000,000) shares of Common Stock, and one million (1,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock.

2. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized, prior to issuance of any series of Preferred Stock, to fix by resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series the number of shares included in such series and the voting powers, designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. Pursuant to the foregoing general authority vested in the Board of Directors, but not in limitation of the powers conferred on the Board of Directors thereby and by Delaware Law, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to determine with respect to each series of Preferred Stock:

(a) the designation or designations of such series and the number of shares (which number from time to time may be decreased by the Board of Directors, but not below the number of such shares then outstanding, or may be increased by the Board of Directors, but not in excess of the number of such shares then authorized, unless otherwise provided in the resolution creating such series) constituting such series;

(b) the rate or amount and times at which, and the preferences and conditions under which, dividends shall be payable on shares of such series, the status of such dividends as cumulative or noncumulative, the date or dates from which dividends, if cumulative, shall accumulate, and the status of such shares as participating or nonparticipating after the payment of dividends as to which such shares are entitled to any preference;

(c) the rights and preferences, if any, of the holders of shares of such series upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation, which amount may vary depending upon whether such liquidation, dissolution, or winding

up is voluntary or involuntary and, if voluntary, may vary at different dates, and the status of the shares of such series as participating or nonparticipating after the satisfaction of any such rights and preferences;

(d) the full or limited voting rights, if any, to be provided for shares of such series, in addition to the voting rights provided by law;

(e) the times, terms and conditions, if any, upon which shares of such series shall be subject to redemption, including the amount the holders of shares of such series shall be entitled to receive upon redemption (which amount may vary under different conditions or at different redemption dates) and the amount, terms, conditions and manner of operation of any purchase, retirement or sinking fund to be provided for the shares of such series;

(f) the rights, if any, of the Corporation or the holders of shares of such series to convert such shares into, or to exchange such shares for, shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of the same class or other securities of the Corporation, the prices or rates of conversion or exchange, and adjustments thereto, and any other terms and conditions applicable to such conversion or exchange;

(g) the limitations, if any, applicable while such series is outstanding on the payment of dividends or making of distributions on, or the acquisition or redemption of, Common Stock or any other class of shares ranking junior, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, to the shares of such series;

(h) the conditions or restrictions, if any, upon the issue of any additional shares (including additional shares of such series or any other series or of any other class) ranking on a parity with or prior to the shares of such series either as to dividends or upon liquidation; and

(i) any other relative powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualification, limitations or restrictions thereof, of shares of such series;

In each case, so far as not inconsistent with the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or Delaware Law: All shares of Preferred Stock shall be identical and of equal rank except in respect to the particulars that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as provided above, and all shares of each series of Preferred Stock shall be identical and of equal rank except as to the times from which cumulative dividends, if any, thereon shall be cumulative.

3. Shares of any series of Preferred Stock which have been acquired by the Corporation, whether by purchase or redemption or by their having been converted into or exchanged for other shares of the Corporation, shall upon their acquisition and without any other action by the Corporation resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as shares of the series of which they were originally a part or may be issued as shares of a new series or as shares of any other series.

4. Except as otherwise provided by Delaware Law or by any resolution adopted by the Board of Directors fixing the powers, preferences and rights, the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the Preferred Stock, the entire voting power of the shares of the Corporation for the election of Directors and for all other purposes, as well as all other rights pertaining to shares of the Corporation, shall be vested exclusively in the Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock shall have one vote upon all matters to be voted on by the holders of the Common Stock and share ratably, subject to the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock, in all assets of the Corporation in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, or upon any distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

5. Shares of capital stock of the Corporation may be issued for such consideration, not less than the par value thereof, as shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors, and shares issued for such consideration shall be fully paid and non-assessable.

FIFTH

The duration of the Corporation is to be perpetual.

SIXTH

Except as required by law, and subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock, established pursuant to Article Fourth of this Certificate of Incorporation, a special meeting of shareholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, the Chairman or the President, and shall be called only by the Board of Directors or the Chairman or the President pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the then authorized number of Directors of the Corporation. Any such call must specify the matter or matters to be acted upon at such meeting and only such matter or matters shall be acted upon thereat. Any such meeting shall be at such time and at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be set forth in the Board of Directors’ resolution calling for such meeting.

SEVENTH

Any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, and no action required to be taken or that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting except by the unanimous written consent of all shareholders entitled to vote on such action.

EIGHTH

3. The directors (other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of preferred stock, voting as a separate class) shall serve for a one-year term. Following the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders the Board of Directors will no longer be classified under Section 141(d) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and directors shall no longer be divided into three classes. The term of all directors currently serving or appointed to serve shall expire at the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders. Effective as of the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders and each annual meeting of shareholders thereafter, all directors (other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of preferred stock, voting as a separate class) shall be elected for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders. Each director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation or removal.

NINTH

No contract or other transaction of the Corporation shall be void, voidable, fraudulent or otherwise invalidated, impaired or affected, in any respect, by reason of the fact that any one or more of the officers, directors or shareholders of the Corporation shall individually be a party or parties thereto or otherwise interested therein or shall be officers, directors or shareholders of any other Corporation or corporations which shall be a party or parties thereto or otherwise interested therein; provided that such contract or other transaction shall be duly authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors, with the assenting vote of a majority of the disinterested directors then present, or, if only one such is present, with his assenting vote.

TENTH

The By-Laws of the Corporation may be amended or repealed, in any respect, and new By-Laws may be adopted, at any time, either (i) by an affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the shareholders entitled to vote generally for the election of directors or (ii) by an affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting of the Board of Directors, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the By-Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything contained in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, Section 3 (“Special Meetings”) or Section 7 (“Order of Business”) of Article II (“Meeting of Stockholders”) of the By-Laws Section 2, (“Number, Election and Terms”) or Section 3 (“Nominations of Directors, Elections”) or Section 6 (“Special Meetings”) or Article III (“Directors”) of the By-Laws, or the final sentence of Article XIII (“Amendments”) of the By-Laws shall not be amended or repealed and no provision inconsistent with any thereof shall be adopted without the affirmative vote of the 66 2/3% of the shareholders entitled to vote generally for the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the 66 2/3% of the shareholders entitled to vote generally for the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, any provision of this Article TENTH.

ELEVENTH

1. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, Articles Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Twelfth hereof shall not be altered, amended or repealed and no provision inconsistent therewith shall be adopted without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of all of the shares of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of all of the shares of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to alter, amend or repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with this paragraph (1) of Article Eleventh.

2. The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in its Certificate of Incorporation, or any amendment thereof, in the manner now or thereafter prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware or this Certificate of Incorporation, and all rights conferred upon the shareholders of the corporation are granted subject to this reservation.

TWELFTH

1. A Director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good

faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

2. If, after approval of this Article by the shareholders of the Corporation, the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, the liability of a Director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

3. Any repeal or modification of this Article by the shareholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

Re: PAR Technology Corporation Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of PAR Technology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). I am providing the opinion set forth below in connection with the filing by the Company of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with the subsequent offer and sale of 854,371 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.02 per share (“Common Stock”), that may be issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated PAR Technology Corporation 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended June 4, 2020 (the “2015 Plan”), and the 67,273 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon vesting of restricted stock units issued by the Company in connection with its assumption of awards granted by AccSys, LLC under the AccSys, LLC Phantom Equity Plan (the “Phantom Equity Plan”).

In connection with the below opinion, I have examined the Registration Statement, the 2015 Plan, the Phantom Equity Plan, and the originals, or photostatic or certified copies, of instruments, documents, certifications, and records as I have deemed relevant and necessary or appropriate to provide the opinion set forth below. In providing the opinion, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that, following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act, the shares of Common Stock issuable under the 2015 Plan and the Phantom Equity Plan, when issued and sold in accordance with the respective provisions thereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The opinion does not relate to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). The opinion is limited to the effect of the current state of the law of the DGCL and the facts as they currently exist. I assume no obligation to supplement the opinion in the event of future changes in such law or the interpretations thereof or such facts.

I consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement with the Commission.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Cathy A. King, Esq.

Exhibit 99.1

AMENDED AND RESTATEDPAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

(Effective Date: June 10, 2019, as amended June 4, 2020)

1 Purpose and Eligibility. The purpose of this Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of PAR Technology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) is to provide stock options, stock issuances and other equity interests in the Company (each, an “Award”) to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Any person to whom an Award has been granted under the Plan is called a “Participant”. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” shall include any of the Company’s present or future Subsidiary. Additional definitions are contained in Section 10 .

2. Administration.

a. Administration by Board of Directors. The Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Board, in its sole discretion, shall have the authority to grant and amend Awards. The Board shall have authority, subject to the express limitations of the Plan, (i) to construe and determine the respective Award Agreements (defined below), Awards and the Plan, (ii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any Awards, (iii) to determine the terms and conditions of the Awards, and (iv) to make all other determinations or certifications and take such other actions that, in the judgment of the Board, are necessary or desirable for the administration and interpretation of the Plan. The Board may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry-out the Plan or to effectuate any Award and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency. All decisions by the Board shall be final and binding on all interested persons. A Participant or other holder of an Award may contest a decision or action by the Board or other person exercising authority under the Plan only on the grounds that such decision or action was arbitrary or capricious or was unlawful, and any review of such decision or action shall be limited to determining whether the Board’s or such other person’s decision or action was arbitrary or capricious or was unlawful.

b. Appointment of Committee. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”). All references in the Plan to the “Board” shall include the Committee to the extent that some or all of such powers have been delegated to the Committee.

c. Delegation to Executive Officers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board or Committee may delegate to one or more executive officers of the Company the power to grant Awards and exercise such other powers under the Plan as the Board or Committee may determine, provided that the Board or Committee shall fix the maximum number of Awards to be granted and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable to any one Participant pursuant to Awards granted by such executive officers, and shall provide that no authorized executive officer may designate himself or herself or any Reporting Person (as defined below) as a recipient of any Award. Any actions taken by any executive officer of the Company pursuant to such delegation of authority shall be deemed to have been taken by the Board or the Committee, as applicable.

d. Applicability of Section Rule 16b-3. The Plan shall be administered in a manner consistent with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any successor rules (“Rule 16b-3”), such that all Awards to Reporting Persons shall be exempt under such rule. Those provisions of the Plan that make express reference to Rule 16b-3 or are required in order for certain transactions to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 shall apply only to such persons as are required to file reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (a “Reporting Person”).

e. Applicability of Section 162 (m). Any provisions in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, whenever the Board is authorized to exercise its discretion in the administration or amendment of the Plan or any Award hereunder or otherwise, the Board may not exercise such discretion in a manner that would cause any outstanding Award that would otherwise qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code to fail to so qualify under Section 162(m).

3. Stock Available for Awards.

a. Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Section 3(d) , the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan is 2,700,000, of which 860,243 shares remain available as of April 8, 2020; 100% of such shares of Common Stock may be issued as Incentive Stock Options. If any Award expires, or is terminated, surrendered or forfeited, in whole or in part, the unissued Common Stock covered by such Award shall again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. Shares to be delivered under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized but unissued Common Stock or treasury stock.

b. Per-Participant Limit. Subject to adjustment under Section 3(d) , no Participant may be granted Awards during any one fiscal year to purchase more than the number of shares of Common Stock that are authorized for issuance under the Plan.

c. Outside Director Awards. The aggregate dollar value of Awards (based on the grant date Fair Market Value of any such Awards) granted under the Plan during any calendar year to any non-employee director of the Board (each an “Outside Director”) shall not exceed $200,000; provided, however, that in the calendar year in which an Outside Director first joins the Board or is first designated as an Outside Director, the aggregate dollar value of Awards granted to the Outside Director may be up to 200% of the foregoing limit.

d. Adjustment to Stock. Subject to Section 7 , in the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Board or Committee will appropriately and proportionately adjust (i) the number and class(es) of Stock available for Awards under the Plan and the per-Participant share limit; (ii) the class(es) and maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options; and (iii) the class(es) and number of shares of Stock or other property and value (including the price per share of Stock) subject to outstanding Awards. The Board or Committee will make such adjustments, and its determination will be final, binding and conclusive.

e. Substitute Awards. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and any securities exchange or NYSE rule, Awards granted or Stock issued by the Company in assumption of, or in substitution or exchange for, awards previously granted, or the right or obligation to make future awards, by a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary, or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines (“Substitute Awards”) shall not be charged against the limitation provided for in Section 3(a) . The terms and conditions of the Substitute Awards may vary from the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan to the extent the Board or Committee may deem appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the awards being assumed, substituted or exchanged. 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 the acquired company’s stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, such shares (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 the same class of shares of the company party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the shares of 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 or to any employee who first commences employment with the Company or any Subsidiary after such acquisition or combination.

4. Stock Options.

a. General. The Board or Committee may grant options to purchase shares of Common Stock (each, an “Option”) and determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Option, the exercise price of each Option and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option and the shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of each Option, including, but not limited to, vesting provisions, and restrictions relating to applicable federal or state securities laws. Each Option will be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement (a “Stock Option Agreement”).

b. Incentive Stock Options. An Option that the Board or Committee intends to be an incentive stock option (an “Incentive Stock Option”) as defined in Section 422 of the Code (“Section 422”) shall be granted only to an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary and shall be subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements of Section 422 and regulations thereunder. Neither the Board, Committee nor the Company shall have any liability if an Option or any part thereof that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option does not qualify as such. An Option or any part thereof that does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option is referred to herein as a “Nonstatutory Stock Option” or “Non-Qualified Stock Option”.

c. Dollar Limitation. For so long as the Code shall so provide, Options granted to any employee under the Plan (and any other incentive stock option plans of the Company) which are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options shall not qualify as Incentive Stock Options to the extent that such Options, in the aggregate, become exercisable for the first time in any one calendar year for shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of more than $100,000. The amount of Incentive Stock Options which exceed such $100,000 limitation shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options. For the purpose of this limitation, unless otherwise required by the Code or determined by the Board or Committee, Options shall be taken into account in the order granted, and the Board or Committee may designate that portion of any Incentive Stock Option that shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option in the event that the provisions of this paragraph apply to a portion of any Option. The designation described in the preceding sentence may be made at such time as the Board or Committee considers appropriate, including after the issuance of the Option or at the time of its exercise.

d. Exercise Price. The Board or Committee shall establish the exercise price (or determine the method by which the exercise price shall be determined) at the time each Option is granted and specify the exercise price in the applicable Stock Option Agreement, provided, however, in no event may the per share exercise price be less than the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Common Stock on the date of grant. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, on the date of grant, owns Common Stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the exercise price shall be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.

e. Duration of Options. Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board or Committee may specify in the applicable Stock Option Agreement, but no Option will be exercisable more than ten (10) years from the date of grant; provided, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, on the date of grant, owns Common Stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the term of the Option shall be no longer than five (5) years from the date of grant.

f. Exercise of Option. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company of a written notice of exercise signed by the proper person together with payment in full as specified in Section 4(g) and the Stock Option Agreement for the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Option is exercised.

g. Payment Upon Exercise. Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall be paid for by one or any combination of the following forms of payment as permitted by the Board or Committee in its sole and absolute discretion:

i. by cash or check payable to the order of the Company;

ii. only if the Common Stock is then publicly traded, by delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price;

iii. by the delivery of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price;

iv. by the surrender of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Option having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price; or

v. payment of such other lawful consideration as the Board may determine.

The Board or Committee shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion and subject to the securities laws and the Company’s insider trading policy whether to accept consideration other than cash.

h. Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of the Plan, “Fair Market Value” will be determined as follows: (i) if the Common Stock trades on a national securities exchange, the closing sale price (for the primary trading session) for a share of Common Stock on the date of grant; or (ii) if the Company Stock does not trade on any such exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for a share of Common Stock on the date of grant as reported by an over-the-counter marketplace designated by the Board; or (iii) if the Common Stock is not publicly traded, the Board will determine the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock for purposes of the Plan using any measure of value it determines to be appropriate (including, as it considers appropriate, relying on appraisals). For any date that is not a trading day, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock for such date will be determined by using the closing sale price or average of the bid and asked prices, as applicable, for the immediately preceding trading day and with the timing formulas specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above adjusted accordingly. The Board has sole discretion to determine the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock for purposes of the Plan, and all Awards are conditioned on the Participants’ agreement that the Board’s determination is conclusive and binding even though others might make a different determination.

i. No Repricing of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (“SAR”). Unless otherwise approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Board or the Committee may not “reprice” any Option or SAR. For purposes of this Section 4(i) , “reprice” means any of the following or any other action that has the same effect: (i) amending an Option or SAR to reduce its exercise price or base price, (ii) canceling an Option or SAR at a time when its exercise price or base price exceeds the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock in exchange for cash or an Option, SAR, or other equity award or (iii) taking any other action that is treated as a repricing under GAAP, provided that nothing in this Section 4(i) shall prevent the Board or the Committee from making adjustments pursuant to Section 3(d) .

5. Restricted Stock.

a. Grants. The Board or Committee may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire shares of Common Stock subject to such terms and conditions as shall be established by the Board or Committee consistent with the Plan (each, a “Restricted Stock Award”). Each Restricted Stock Award will be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Award Agreement (a “Restricted Stock Award Agreement”).

b. Terms and Conditions; Stock Certificates. The Board or Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any Restricted Stock Award. Any stock certificates issued in respect of shares of a Restricted Stock Award shall be registered in the name of the Participant and, unless otherwise determined by the Board or Committee, deposited by the Participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company (or its designee). After the expiration of the applicable restrictions, the Company (or such designee) shall deliver the certificates no longer subject to such restrictions to the Participant or, if the Participant has died, to his or her Designated Beneficiary. “Designated Beneficiary” means (i) the beneficiary designated, in a manner determined by the Board or Committee, by a Participant to receive amounts due or exercise rights of the Participant in the event of the Participant’s death or (ii) in the absence of an effective designation by a Participant, the Participant’s estate.

6. Other Stock-Based Awards. The Board or Committee shall have the right to grant other Awards based upon the Common Stock having such terms and conditions as the Board or Committee may determine, including, without limitation, the grant of shares based upon certain conditions, the grant of securities convertible into Common Stock and the grant of SARs, phantom stock awards or stock units; provided, however, that any such grant that would be subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall in all respects be compliant with Section 409A.

7. General Provisions Applicable to Awards.

a. Transferability of Awards. Except as the Board or Committee may otherwise determine or provide in an Award or Award Agreement, Awards shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution; and, during the life of the Participant, shall only be exercisable by the Participant; provided, however, except as the Board or Committee may otherwise determine or provide in an Award or Award Agreement, Non-Statutory Options and Restricted Stock Awards may be transferred during the Participant’s lifetime pursuant to a domestic relations order (as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder) or to a grantor-retained annuity trust or a similar estate-planning vehicle in which the trust is bound by all provisions of the Award Agreement, which are applicable to the Participant. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, shall include references to transferees authorized by this paragraph.

b. Documentation. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written instrument in such form as the Board shall determine or as executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company pursuant to authority delegated by the Board or Committee (including a Stock Option Agreement and Restricted Stock Award Agreement, an “Award Agreement”). Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan, provided that such terms and conditions do not contravene the provisions of the Plan or applicable law.

c. Discretion. The terms of each type of Award need not be identical, and the Board or Committee need not treat Participants uniformly.

d. Change of Control of the Company. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable Award or Award Agreement, in connection with the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below), the Board or Committee shall, in its sole discretion, as to any outstanding Award (including any portion thereof; on the same basis or on different bases, as the Board or Committee shall specify), take one or any combination of the following actions:

(i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of the Award by the Company or the assumption of the Award by the surviving or acquiring entity and by substituting on an equitable basis for the shares of Common Stock then subject to the Award either (x) the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the Change of Control, (y) shares of stock of the surviving or acquiring corporation or (z) such other securities as the Board or Committee deems appropriate, the Fair Market Value of which (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) shall not materially differ from the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award immediately preceding the Change of Control;

(ii) accelerate the date of exercise or vesting of the Award; or

(iii) permit the exchange of the Award for the right to participate in any stock option or other employee benefit plan of any successor corporation.

For the purpose of this Agreement, a “ Change of Control ” shall mean:

(i) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Voting Stock”); provided, however, that any acquisition by the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or its Subsidiaries of 50% or more of Outstanding Voting Stock shall not constitute a Change in Control; and provided, further, that any acquisition by a corporation with respect to which, following such acquisition, more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation, is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Voting Stock immediately prior to such acquisition in substantially the same proportion as their ownership immediately prior to such acquisition, of the Outstanding Voting Stock, shall not constitute a Change in Control; or

(ii) Individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the members of the Board; provided that any individual who becomes a director after the Effective Date whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a majority of the members of the Incumbent Directors (other than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened “election contest” relating to the election of the Directors of the Company (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 under the Exchange Act), “tender offer” (as such term is used in Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) or a proposed Merger (as defined below) shall be deemed to be members of the Incumbent Directors; or

(iii) The consummation of (A) a reorganization, merger or consolidation (any of the foregoing, a “Merger”), in each case, with respect to which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Voting Stock immediately prior to such Merger do not, following such Merger, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from Merger in substantially the same proportion as their ownership immediately prior to such Merger, (B) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (C) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, excluding a sale or other disposition of assets to a Subsidiary.

e. Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board or Committee shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Board or Committee in its sole discretion may provide for a Participant to have the right to exercise his or her Award until fifteen (15) days (or such other time determined by the Board) prior to such transaction as to all of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Option or Award, including shares as to which the Option or Award would not otherwise be exercisable, which exercise may in the sole discretion of the Board, be made subject to and conditioned upon the consummation of such proposed transaction. In addition, the Board may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of an Option or Award shall lapse as to all such shares of Common Stock, provided the proposed dissolution and liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised or settled or shares of Common Stock have not previously been issued, an Award will terminate upon the consummation of such proposed action.

f. Parachute Payments and Parachute Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan (including Section 7(d) ) or the terms of any Award Agreement, if, in connection with a Change of Control described therein, a tax under Section 4999 of the Code would be imposed on the Participant (after taking into account the exceptions set forth in Sections 280G(b)(4) and 280G(b)(5) of the Code, if applicable), then the number of Awards which shall become exercisable, realizable or vested as provided in the Award Agreement and other provisions of the Plan without regard to this Section 7(f) (the “Parachute Awards”) shall be reduced (or delayed), to the minimum extent necessary, so that no such tax would be imposed on the Participant; provided, however, that if the after-tax value of the Parachute Awards (including taking into consideration any tax under Section 4999 of the Code) would exceed the after-tax value of the Parachute Awards after taking into consideration such potential reduction or delay, then the Awards shall become immediately exercisable, realizable and vested in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreements without regard to the provisions of this sentence. All determinations required to be made under this Section 7(f) shall be made by the Company or a tax attorney or accountant selected by the Company.

g. Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such

representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.

h. Acceleration. The Board may at any time provide that any Options shall become immediately exercisable in full or in part, that any Restricted Stock Awards shall be free of some or all restrictions, or that any other stock-based Awards may become exercisable in full or in part or free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise realizable in full or in part, as the case may be, despite the fact that the foregoing actions may (i) cause the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code if a Change in Control of the Company occurs, or (ii) disqualify all or part of the Option as an Incentive Stock Option.

i Clawback, Recovery and Recoupment. All Awards shall be subject to clawback, recovery or recoupment in accordance with any compensation clawback, recovery or recoupment policy adopted by the Board or otherwise required by applicable law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement and, in addition to any other remedies available under such policy and applicable law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, may require the forfeiture and cancelation of outstanding Awards and the recoupment of any gains realized with respect to any Awards. The Board may impose any such clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Board determines necessary or appropriate.

8. Withholding. The Participant must satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local or other income and employment tax withholding obligations before the Company will deliver stock certificates or otherwise recognize ownership of shares of Common Stock covered by an Award. The Company shall have the right to deduct or withhold from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any federal, state, local or other income and employment taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by an Award. Subject to the prior approval of the Company, including without limitation, its determination that such withholding complies with applicable tax and securities laws, which may be withheld by the Company in its sole discretion, the Participant may elect to satisfy the tax obligations, in whole or in part, (a) by causing the Company to withhold or retain shares of Common Stock from the Award creating the tax obligation or (b) by delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock already owned by the Participant; provided that the shares withheld, retained or delivered shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as shall be determined by the Company as of the date the amount of tax obligation is determined. A Participant who has made an election pursuant to this Section may only satisfy his or her tax obligation with shares of Common Stock which are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements. The delivery of shares of Common Stock may be delayed by the Company until the Participant has made arrangements for the satisfaction of such tax withholding obligations to the satisfaction of the Company.

9. Treatment of Award if Engagement or Employment Terminated for Cause. If the employment or engagement of any Participant is terminated “for Cause”, the Award may terminate, upon a determination of the Board or Company, on the date of such termination and the Award shall thereupon be forfeited. For purposes of the Plan, “for Cause” shall be defined as follows: (a) if the Participant has executed an employment agreement, the definition of “Cause” contained therein, if any, shall govern, or otherwise (b) conduct, as determined by the Board or Committee, involving one or more of the following: (i) gross misconduct; (ii) the commission of an act of embezzlement, fraud or theft, which results in economic loss, damage or injury to the Company; (iii) the unauthorized use or disclosure of any trade secret or confidential information of the Company (or of any client, customer, supplier or other third party who has a business relationship with the Company) or the violation of any non-competition, non-disparagement or non-solicitation covenant or assignment of inventions obligation with the Company; (iv) the commission of an act which constitutes unfair competition with the Company or which induces any customer or prospective customer of the Company to breach a contract with the Company or to decline to do business with the Company; (v) the indictment of the Participant for a felony or serious misdemeanor offense, either in connection with the performance of his or her obligations to the Company or which shall adversely affect the Participant’s ability to perform such obligations; (vi) the commission of an act of fraud or breach of fiduciary duty which results in loss, damage or injury to the Company; (vii) the failure of the Participant to perform in a material respect his or her employment, consulting or advisory obligations without proper cause; or (viii) intentional violation of securities laws or the Company’s Insider Trading Policy. In the event of a conflict between “for Cause” as defined the Plan and any other agreement to which the Participant is otherwise subject, the terms that are enforceable and most protective of the Company shall govern. In making such determination, the Board or Committee shall act reasonably and fairly. The Board or Committee may in its discretion waive or modify the provisions of this Section with respect to any individual Participant with regard to the facts and circumstances of any particular situation involving a determination under this Section.

10. Miscellaneous.

a. Definitions.

(i) “Capitalization Adjustment” means any change that is made in, or other events that occur with respect to, the Common Stock subject to the Plan or subject to any Award after the Effective Date without

the receipt of consideration by the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, large nonrecurring cash dividend, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other similar equity restructuring transaction, as that term is used in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any successor thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company will not be treated as a Capitalization Adjustment.

(ii) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations thereunder.

(iii) “Common Stock” means the common stock of the Company.

(iv) “Subsidiary” has the meaning in Section 424(f) of the Code, provided, however, for purposes of Awards other than Incentive Stock Options, “Subsidiary” shall also include any other business venture in which the Company has a direct or indirect significant interest that allow it to be treated as a subsidiary for purposes of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

b. No Right to Employment or Other Status. No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant at any time, with or without “for Cause”, with or without advance notice, and for any reason or no reason, free from any liability or claim under the Plan.

c. No Rights as Stockholder. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be issued with respect to an Award until becoming the record holder of such shares. In accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant agrees to be bound by any clawback policy the Company has in effect or may adopt in the future.

d. Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective on the date on which it is approved by the stockholders in 2019 (the “Effective Date”). No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the completion of ten (10) years from the Effective Date, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date.

e. Amendment of Plan. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10(e), the Board or Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, however, that no amendment for which shareholder approval is required either (i) by any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or traded or (ii) in order for the Plan and Awards to continue to comply with applicable provisions of the Code, shall be effective unless such amendment shall be approved by the requisite vote of the shareholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon. Any such amendment shall, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Board or the Committee, be applicable to any outstanding Awards theretofore granted under the Plan, notwithstanding any contrary provisions contained in any Award Agreement. In the event of any such amendment to the Plan, the holder of any Award outstanding under the Plan shall, upon request of the Board or the Committee and as a condition to the exercisability thereof, execute a conforming amendment in the form prescribed by the Board or the Committee to any Award Agreement relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, unless required by law, no action contemplated or permitted by this Section 10(e) shall materially adversely affect any rights of Participants or obligations of the Company to Participants with respect to any Award theretofore granted under the Plan without the consent of the affected Participant.

f. Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of incorporation of the Company, Delaware, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law.

Exhibit 99.2

AccSYS, LLCPHANTOM EQUITY Plan

1.Background; Purpose. AccSys, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), hereby adopts the AccSys, LLC Phantom Equity Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2019 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Steven A. Roberts, Gary Saling, The Drew D. Peloubet Family Trust DTD 6/29/09, Drew D. Peloubet, PJCDSG, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Seller”), ParTech, Inc., a New York corporation (“PAR”) and PAR Technology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“PAR Technology”), PAR agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Seller and the Company have agreed to establish the Plan to provide an incentive for key employees, officers and contractors of the Company to remain in the service of the Company and to enhance the long-term performance of the Company and PAR Technology.

The Plan will provide a means whereby key employees, officers and contractors of the Company may participate in the long-term performance of the Company and PAR Technology through awards of phantom membership interests in the Company (the “Phantom Awards”).

2.Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Member of the Company (the “Member”). The Member may designate one or more officers of the Company or an affiliate of the Company to assist the Member in the administration of the Plan, and may grant authority to such officers to execute agreements or other documents evidencing Phantom Awards awarded under the Plan or other documents entered into under the Plan on behalf of the Company. Each grant of a Phantom Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement or other instrument approved by the Member awarding the grant of such Phantom Award (“Award Agreement”).

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Member shall have full, unconditional, sole and final discretion and authority (i) to construe and interpret the Plan and each Award Agreement, (ii) to define the terms used herein and therein, (iii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, (iv) to determine the circumstances under which vesting of any Phantom Award may be accelerated, (v) to approve and determine the duration of leaves of absence which may be granted to Participants (as defined below) without constituting a termination of their employment or continuous service for the purposes of the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, (vi) to amend the terms of any outstanding Phantom Award with consent of the holder (or as otherwise provided in the Plan); provided, however, that the Member may amend any outstanding Phantom Award without obtaining the consent of the holder to the extent such amendment does not materially and adversely affect such holder’s benefits under the Phantom Award, (vii) to approve corrections in the documentation or administration of any Phantom Award, and (viii) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable or convenient for the administration of the Plan. All determinations and interpretations made by the Member shall be binding and conclusive on all Participants in the Plan and their legal representatives, beneficiaries, successors and assigns or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan or a Phantom Award unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been arbitrary and capricious or made in bad faith.

In order to facilitate the granting of Phantom Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals or who reside or work outside of the United States of America, the Member may provide for such special terms and conditions as the Member may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. The Member may approve any supplements to the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for purposes of this paragraph without thereby affecting or conflicting with the terms of the Plan as set forth herein. Participants subject to the laws of a foreign jurisdiction may

request copies of, or the right to view, any materials that are required to be provided by the Company pursuant to the laws of such jurisdiction.

3.Eligibility and Participation. Selected key employees, officers and contractors of the Company (as determined by the Member in its sole discretion) shall be eligible for selection to participate in the Plan (each, a “Participant”).

4.Phantom Awards.

(a)Award Agreement. Each Award Agreement evidencing a Phantom Award shall contain such terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be determined from time to time by the Member. Award Agreements need not be identical as to the amount of each Award or the terms and conditions of each Award or among Participants.

(b)Description of a Phantom Award. In general, each Phantom Award shall represent the right to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of an equivalent membership interest in the Company (such equivalency to be determined on the date of grant of the Phantom Award) to the extent and at the time that such Phantom Award becomes vested. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Company may agree, in its sole discretion, to convert all outstanding Phantom Awards as of the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and, in exchange for each such outstanding Phantom Award, substitute restricted stock and/or restricted stock units of the common stock of PAR Technology (as determined by PAR Technology in its sole discretion) with a fair market value equal to the value of such outstanding Phantom Award on the grant date of the Phantom Award (“Grant Date”) divided by the Parent Closing Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Such restricted stock or restricted stock units of PAR Technology will be subject to the same vesting schedule applicable to the Phantom Awards as of the date of the Closing.

(c)Vesting. Unless otherwise provided by the Member in the Award Agreement, provided that the Participant remains in continuous employment or continuous service as a contractor with the Company, PAR Technology, or one of their respective affiliates for the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the applicable vesting date, each Phantom Award shall vest in three equal installments on November 30, 2020, November 30, 2021, and November 30, 2022. In the event that the Phantom Award is denominated in common stock of PAR Technology, the number of shares vesting on each date shall be a whole number of shares, with such number being rounded down to the next lowest whole number on each of the first two vesting dates. Unless otherwise expressly stated in an Award Agreement, there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to applicable vesting dates of a Phantom Award and no payment shall be made or accrued with respect to the unvested portion of a Phantom Award.

(d)Termination of Employment or Continuous Service. Unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement, upon a Participant’s termination of employment or continuous service as a contractor with the Company, PAR Technology or one of their respective affiliates for any reason or no reason, the unvested portion of such Participant’s Phantom Award shall, without further action, automatically be forfeited and cancelled for no additional consideration and shall be no longer outstanding.

(e)Plan Limits. The maximum aggregate value of Phantom Awards reserved for use under the Plan will be equal to $2,000,000 (the “Grant Pool”). The value of a single grant of a Phantom Award for this purpose will be determined on the Grant Date. The size of a Phantom Award will be

expressed in terms of United States dollars and also may be expressed as a percentage of the Grant Pool. Any Phantom Award or portion thereof that is forfeited, cancelled, or otherwise no longer remains outstanding in any manner may not be made subject to a future Phantom Award.

(f)Rights of Participants. A Participant granted a Phantom Award under this Plan shall not be a member of the Company (unless he or she holds membership interests of the Company acquired in an unrelated transaction) and shall not have the rights of a member holding an interest in the Company.

5.Transferability. Phantom Awards may not be transferred by the Participant without the prior written consent of the Member, which consent may be withheld in the Member’s sole discretion; provided, however, that any amounts associated with the vested portion of a Phantom Award that have not been paid to a Participant prior to such Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate or designated beneficiary.

6.Withholding Tax. The Company shall have the right to take whatever steps the Member deems necessary or desirable or appropriate to comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and employment tax, national insurance, social security or other withholding requirements, and the Company’s obligations to settle the Phantom Awards under the Plan shall be conditioned upon compliance with all such withholding tax requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to withhold taxes from any payments under the Plan and any other compensation or other amounts which it may owe to the Participant or to require such Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any taxes which the Company may be required to withhold from time to time with respect to Phantom Awards under the Plan.

7.Amendment and Termination of Plan. The Member may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan that would materially and adversely affect any rights or obligations of any Participant under any Award Agreement shall be effective as to such Participant unless there shall have been specific action of the Member and written consent of the Participant; provided, however, that the Member may unilaterally amend the Plan or any Award Agreement, without the consent of the Participant, if such amendment is necessary or desirable to comply with applicable laws.

8.No Employment Rights. The selection of any person to receive a Phantom Award shall not give such person any right to be retained in the employment of, or to continue to render services to, the Company, PAR Technology or any of their respective affiliates and the right and the power of the Company, PAR Technology or any of their respective affiliates to terminate such person’s employment or to terminate its service relationship with any such person shall not be affected by such award. No person shall have any right or claim whatever, directly, indirectly or by implication, to receive a Phantom Award, nor any expectancy thereof, unless and until a Phantom Award in fact shall have been made to such person by the Member as provided herein. The grant of a Phantom Award to any person hereunder at any time shall not create any right or implication that any other or further award may or shall be made at another time. Each Phantom Award hereunder shall be separate and distinct from every other award and shall not be construed as a part of any continuing series of awards or compensation. No person shall have any rights to compensation or damages on account of any loss in respect of right or entitlement under any Phantom Award under the Plan where such loss arises (or is claimed to arise), in whole or in part, from termination of such person’s employment or service with the Company, PAR Technology or any of their respective affiliates or notice to terminate such employment or contract for services. This exclusion of liability shall apply regardless of the manner in which termination of such employment or contract for

services, or the giving of notice, is caused, and regardless of the manner in which compensation or damages are claimed.

9.Compliance with Other Laws and Regulations. The Plan and the grant of Phantom Awards hereunder shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. Any good faith and reasonable determination by the Company and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 9 shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

10.Plan Not Exclusive. The Plan is not exclusive. The Company may have other plans, programs and arrangements for compensation or equity or options relating thereto. The Plan does not require that Participants hereunder be precluded from participation in such other plans, programs and arrangements.

11.No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor the grant of any Phantom Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to a Phantom Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Company.

12.Effective Date and Term. The Plan shall be effective when it has been adopted by the Company. The term of the Plan shall commence on the date of its adoption by the Company and shall expire on the date that all vested Phantom Awards have been paid to Participants or, if earlier, the date that all outstanding Phantom Awards have been forfeited.

13.Governing Law; Jurisdiction. The law of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of the Plan and the rights and obligations of Participants and or other person claiming under the Plan or a Phantom Award, and any claims or disputes relating thereto, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

14.Compliance with Code Section 409A. The compensation payable to or with respect to any Participant pursuant to the Plan is intended to be compensation that is not subject to the tax imposed by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Plan and all Phantom Awards issued hereunder shall be administered and construed to the fullest extent possible to reflect and implement such intent. Each payment under the Plan and any Award Agreement is intended to be a “separate payment” and not a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not guarantee any particular tax effect, and each Participant shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes, penalties and interest that may be imposed on or for the account of the Participant in connection with the Plan and any Phantom Award issued hereunder (including any taxes, penalties and interest under Section 409A of the Code).

15. Headings. Headings are inserted for convenience only and do not have any legal or substantive significance when interpreting or administering the Plan.
