Exhibit 10.2

THIRD AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE

This THIRD AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE (“Third Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the 29th day of May, 2019, by and between CONCORD TECHNOLOGY CENTER PROPERTY OWNER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and ASSETMARK, INC., a California corporation (“Tenant”).

RECITALS:

A.Landlord (as successor-in-interest to SFG Owner A, LLC) and Tenant (formerly known as Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc.,  a  California  corporation)  entered  into that certain Office Lease dated May 29, 2013 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that certain  First Amendment to Office Lease dated May 13, 2015 (the “First Amendment”) and that certain Second Amendment to Office Lease dated March 14, 2018 (the “Second Amendment”), whereby Landlord  leased  to Tenant and Tenant  leased  from Landlord  those certain  premises consisting of  a total of 72,536 rentable square feet (“Existing Premises”) commonly known as Suites 900, 1000 and 1100 and located on the ninth (9th) , tenth (10th) and eleventh (11 th) floors, respectively, of that certain office building located at 1655 Grant Street,  Concord,  California  (“Building”).  The Original Lease, the First Amendment and the Second Amendment are, collectively, the “Lease”.

B.Landlord and Tenant desire (i) to extend the Lease Term, (ii) to expand the Existing Premises to include that certain space consisting of approximately 24,408 rentable square feet of space in Suite 800 on the 8th floor of the Building (the “Expansion Premises”), as delineated on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, and (iii) to make other modifications to the Lease, and in connection therewith, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease as hereinafter provided.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.Capitalized Terms.  All capitalized terms when used herein shall have the same meaning as is given such terms in the Lease unless expressly superseded by the terms of this Third Amendment.

2.Modification of Premises.  Effective as of January 1, 2020 (the “Expansion Commencement Date”), Tenant shall lease from Landlord and Landlord shall lease to Tenant the Expansion Premises. Consequently, effective upon the Expansion Commencement Date, the Existing Premises shall be increased to include the Expansion Premises. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that such addition of the Expansion Premises to the Existing Premises shall, effective as of the Expansion Commencement Date, increase the size of the Premises to 96,944 rentable square feet. The Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises may hereinafter collectively be referred to as the “Premises”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2, Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Expansion Premises are currently occupied by AIG Claims, Inc. (“AIG”), and if Tenant and AIG do not enter into the “AIG Sublease,” as that term is defined in Section 3.3, below, and AIG holds over in the Expansion Premises past December 31, 2019, then Tenant's sole remedy shall be a day-for-day abatement of Base Rent for the Expansion Premises for the number of days from January 1, 2020 until the date that Landlord recovers the Expansion Premises from AIG (the “Abatement Remedy”). Such abatement shall commence immediately following the expiration of the Rent Abatement Period and such applicable abatement amount shall be credited against Base Rent for the Expansion Premises until exhausted in full. For avoidance of doubt, if Tenant and AIG enter into the AIG Sublease, but AIG fails to timely surrender the Expansion Premises to Tenant under the AIG Sublease, the same shall be Tenant’s sole responsibility and under no circumstance shall Tenant be entitled to the Abatement Remedy.

3.Lease Term.

3.1.Extension of Lease Term with Respect to the Existing Premises.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant's lease of the Existing Premises is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the Lease. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Lease, the Lease Term with respect to the Existing Premises shall be extended to August 31, 2028 (the “Lease Expiration Date”), unless sooner terminated as provided in the Lease, as hereby amended.

3.2.Expansion Term.  The term of Tenant’s lease of the Expansion Premises (the “Expansion Term”) shall commence on the Expansion Commencement Date and shall expire coterminously with Tenant’s lease of the Existing Premises on the Lease Expiration Date (i.e., August 31, 2028), unless sooner terminated as provided in the Lease, as hereby amended.

3.3.Beneficial Occupancy; AIG Sublease.

(a)Beneficial Occupancy.  During the period from September 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, Tenant shall have the right to commence general preparation work for, and/or instruct Landlord to commence, the “Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Tenant Work Letter”) (provided that Tenant’s and Landlord’s ability to access the Expansion Premises during such period is subject to AIG’s continued occupancy, if any, of the Expansion Premises) . Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Expansion Premises is currently leased by AIG (such lease, the “AIG Lease”) and further that the AIG Lease is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2019. Subject to the terms of this Section 3.3(a) and Section 3.3(b), below, Tenant shall also have the right to negotiate and enter into a sublease of all or any of the Expansion Premises with AIG on substantially similar terms to the AIG Lease and otherwise consistent with the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby (the “AIG Sublease”), for the period from September 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (the “AIG Sublease Term”). If Tenant and AIG enter into the AIG Sublease, then during the AIG Sublease Term, Tenant shall have the right to occupy all or any the Expansion Premises for the purpose of permitting AIG's continued occupancy of all or any of the Expansion Premises under the AIG Sublease, provided that (i) Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of the full execution and delivery of the AIG Sublease, (ii) Tenant shall not be in monetary or material non-monetary default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under the Lease, as amended, and (iii) all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended, shall apply, other than Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses attributable to the Expansion Premises, as though the Expansion Commencement Date had occurred (although the Expansion Commencement Date shall not actually occur until the occurrence of the same pursuant to the terms of Section 2, above) upon such occupancy of the Expansion Premises by Tenant.

(b)AIG Sublease.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3.3(a), above, and Article 14 of the Original Lease, (i) the AIG Sublease shall be in a form approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that Tenant and AIG execute Landlord’s standard consent to sublease form, and (ii) Landlord shall not require the Lease, as amended hereby, to be appended to the AIG Sublease. Provided Tenant complies with the terms hereof, Tenant shall not be required to obtain any additional consent of Landlord pursuant to Article 14 of the Original Lease to enter into the AIG Sublease.

*Notwithstanding the foregoing Base Rent schedule or any contrary provision of the Lease, as amended hereby, but subject to the terms of Section 4.3, below, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Base Rent attributable to the Expansion Premises during the period commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending on August 31, 2020.

4.3.Abated Base Rent.  Provided that Tenant is not then in default of the Lease (as hereby amended), then during the period commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending on August 31. 2020 (the “Rent Abatement Period”), Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any Base Rent otherwise attributable to the Premises during such Rent Abatement Period (the “Rent Abatement”). Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the aggregate amount of the Rent Abatement equals $1,872,188.80 (i.e., $159,579.20 per month with respect to the Existing Premises and $74,444.40 per month with respect to the Expansion Premises). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing Rent Abatement has been granted to Tenant as additional consideration for entering into this Third Amendment, and for agreeing to pay the Rent and performing the terms and conditions otherwise required under the Lease (as hereby amended). If Tenant shall be in default under this Lease, and shall fail to cure such default within the notice and cure period, if any, permitted for cure pursuant to terms and conditions of the Lease, or if this Lease is terminated for any reason other than Landlord’s breach of this Lease, casualty or condemnation, then the dollar amount of the unapplied portion of the Rent Abatement as of the date of such default or termination, as the case may be, shall be converted to a credit to be applied to the Base Rent applicable at the end of the Lease Term and Tenant shall immediately be obligated to begin paying Base Rent for the Premises in full.

As required by Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby states as follows: “A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.” In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows: (a) any CASp inspection requested by Tenant shall be conducted, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, by a CASp designated by Landlord, subject to Landlord’s reasonable rules and requirements; (b) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for making any improvements or repairs within the Premises to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards; and (c) if anything done by or for Tenant in its use or occupancy of the Premises shall require any improvements or repairs to the Building (outside the Premises) to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand, as additional rent, for the cost to Landlord of performing such improvements or repairs.

13.No Further Modification.  Except as set forth in this Third Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall apply with respect to the Expansion Premises and shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

TENANT WORK LETTER

This Tenant Work Letter shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the tenant improvements in the Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises. This Tenant Work Letter is essentially organized chronologically and addresses the issues of the construction of the Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises, in sequence, as such issues will arise during the actual construction of the Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises, as applicable. All references in this Tenant Work Letter to Articles or Sections of “this Third Amendment” shall mean the relevant portion of the Third Amendment to which this Tenant Work Letter is attached as Exhibit B and of which this Tenant Work Letter forms a part. All references in this Tenant Work Letter to Articles or Sections of “this Lease” shall mean the relevant portion of the “Lease,” as that term is defined in the Third Amendment, all references in this Tenant Work Letter to Sections of “this Tenant Work Letter” shall mean the relevant portion of Sections l through 5 of this Tenant Work Letter, and, unless otherwise expressly set forth to the contrary, all references in this Tenant Work Letter to the “Premises” shall mean both the Existing Premises and Expansion Premises.

SECTION 1

LANDLORD'S INITIAL CONSTRUCTION OF EXPANSION PREMISES; CONDITION OF EXISTING PREMISES

1.1Expansion Premises.  Landlord has constructed, at its sole cost and expense, the base, shell, and core (i) of the Expansion Premises and (ii) of the floor of the Building on which the Expansion Premises is located (collectively, the “Base, Shell, and Core”). The Base, Shell and Core shall consist of those portions of the Premises which were in existence prior to the construction of the tenant improvements in the Premises. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Tenant Work Letter to the contrary, Tenant shall accept the Base, Shell and Core from Landlord in their presently existing, “as-is” condition. Subject to Section 2.1, below, Landlord shall not be obligated to make or pay for any alterations or improvements to the Expansion Premises. Notwithstanding anything in the Third Amendment or this Tenant Work Letter to the contrary, if Tenant and AIG entered into the AIG Sublease, then Tenant shall notify Landlord once AIG has surrendered the Expansion Premises to Tenant, so that Landlord can commence construction of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with this Tenant Work Letter.

1.2Existing Premises.  Tenant shall accept the Existing Premises in its current “as-is” condition existing as of the date of the Third Amendment (to which this Exhibit “B” is attached thereto). Subject to Section 2.1, below, Landlord shall not be obligated to make or pay for any alterations or improvements to the Existing Premises.

Allowance Items,” as that term is defined in Section 2.2.1, below (the “Tenant Improvements”), which Tenant Improvements shall be performed in compliance with applicable laws (including, without limitation, the “Code,” as defined below).
