THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE (this “Amendment”), dated as of October 31, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and between TRANSAMERICA PYRAMID PROPERTIES, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company (“Landlord”), and JMP GROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Lease (as defined below).

 

RECITALS

 

A.     Pursuant to the terms of that certain Transamerica Pyramid Office Lease dated as of August 10, 2011 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Office Lease dated as of May 6, 2013 (the “First Amendment”), and that certain Second Amendment to Office Lease dated as of August 3, 2016 (the “Second Amendment”) (the Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment being referred to herein as the “Lease”), Tenant leases from Landlord and presently occupies, premises comprising all of the tenant occupyable space located on the tenth (10th), eleventh (11th) and seventeenth (17th) floors of the Building (the “Existing Premises”).

 

B.     Tenant and Landlord have agreed to extend the term of the Lease as to that portion of the Existing Premises excluding the portion of the Existing Premises located on the seventeenth (17th) floor of the Building (said excluded portion of the Existing Premises being referred to in the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and in this Amendment as the “Suite 1700 Space”), and to amend the Lease in other respects, all as provided in this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.     EXTENSION OF TERM; CONDITION OF PREMISES

 

	 	
			(a)

				
			Effective as of the Effective Date, the Term of the Lease is hereby extended through June 30, 2024, solely as to the portion of the Existing Premises excluding the Suite 1700 Space (said portion of the Existing Premises subject to the extension of the Term being referred to herein as the “Continuing Premises”) (and the Term of the Lease is subject to further extension in accordance with the terms of this Amendment); the term “Expiration Date” is hereby amended to be “June 30, 2024” and the defined terms “Term” and “Expiration Date” in the Summary of Lease Terms are hereby amended accordingly.

			

 

	 	
			(b)

				
			Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that (ii) the rentable square footage of the Continuing Premises, as of the Effective Date, determined in accordance with the BOMA Modified Standard, is 37,808 RSF, and the rentable square footage of the Building, as of the Effective Date, determined in accordance with the BOMA Modified Standard, is 501,458 RSF. The parties acknowledge that the general expressions “rentable square feet” and “RSF” as used in the Lease (as amended hereby), refer to the determination of rentable square footage in accordance with the BOMA Modified Standard, and such figure is final and binding on Landlord and Tenant, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Lease

			

 

	 	
			(c)

				
			Tenant acknowledges and agrees that: (i) it currently occupies, and will continue to occupy, the Premises in its “As Is” condition, (ii) the Premises are in good condition and repair, and Tenant waives any and all defects, latent or otherwise, therein, and (iii) Landlord has no obligation to repair or improve the Premises or any portion thereof as a condition to the extension of the Term of the Lease, except as provided in this Amendment to Lease.

			

 

2.     SURRENDER OF SUITE 1700 SPACE

 

	 	
			(a)

				
			Tenant agrees to vacate, surrender and return exclusive possession of the Suite 1700 Space to Landlord in the condition required under, and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the Lease, and to complete the relocation of its business operations, including, without limitation, all of Tenant’s furniture, trade fixtures (except as hereinafter provided), equipment and other personal property (“Tenant’s Property”), to that portion of the Continuing Premises on or before June 30, 2019 (the “Outside Surrender Date”). Tenant’s failure or refusal to vacate and surrender possession of the Suite 1700 Space in the condition required by this Paragraph 2 on or before the Outside Surrender Date (other than in de minimis respects) shall, at the election of Landlord, upon the giving of written notice to Tenant, (i) constitute a holding over of possession of the Suite 1700 Space following the expiration of the term of the Lease, and the terms of Paragraph 28 of the Lease shall apply as to Tenant's holding over of possession thereof based on the Basic Rent payable with respect to the Suite 1700 Space as provided in the Second Amendment, and (ii) an Event of Default under the Lease, as amended hereby.

			

 

	 	
			(b)

				
			Effective as of the later of (i) the Outside Surrender Date, and (ii) the actual date of vacation and surrender of the Surrendered Space in accordance with this Amendment (the “Surrender Date”), the term “Premises,” as defined in the Lease (as amended by this Amendment), shall be deemed to refer to the Continuing Premises, all references in the Lease to the Premises shall be deemed to refer to only the Continuing Premises, and the floor plan attached as Exhibit A to the Original Lease shall be deemed to be the floor plan of the Premises (with the intent that the floor plan added as Exhibit A-1 as to the Suite 1700 Space shall be deemed deleted from the Lease).

			

 

3.     AMENDMENT OF BASE RENT OBLIGATION

 

	 	
			(a)

				
			From and after July 1, 2019 (the “Adjustment Date”), and for the remainder of the Term of the Lease (as extended by this Amendment), Base Rent payable under the Lease (for purposes of clarity, applicable solely to that portion of the Premises comprising the Continuing Premises) shall be as follows:

			

 

Period                         Monthly Base Rent     Annual Base Rent

 

Adjustment Date – June 30, 2020*          $226,848.00          $2,722,176.00

July 1, 2020 - June 30, 2021          $233,653.44          $2,803,841.28

July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2022          $240,663.04          $2,887,956.48

July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023          $247,882.93          $2,974,595.16

July 1, 2023 - Expiration Date          $255,319.42          $3,063,833.04

 

* Subject to Base Rent Abatement as provided in Paragraph 4

 

The description of “Monthly Base Rent” and “Annual Base Rent” in the Summary of Lease Terms is hereby amended accordingly.

 

4.     BASE RENT ABATEMENT

 

	 	
			(a)

				
			Subject to the terms of this Section 4, Landlord grants to Tenant an abatement of monthly Base Rent in the amount of Six Hundred Eighty Thousand, Five Hundred Forty-Four Dollars ($680,544.00) (the “Base Rent Abatement”), which is deemed applicable and credited against the Base Rent due commencing as of the Adjustment Date.

			

 

	 	
			(b)

				
			Tenant acknowledges that the Base Rent Abatement is being granted to Tenant in consideration of the timely and faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms and conditions of the Lease throughout the entire Term. Therefore, Tenant agrees that if a monetary Event of Default occurs under the Lease, (a) all unamortized portions of the Base Rent Abatement (based on straight-amortization over the remainder of the Term following the Adjustment Date) credited to Tenant prior to the occurrence of the monetary Event of Default shall become due and payable to Landlord upon demand, and (b) if applicable, from and after the occurrence of such monetary Event of Default, the Base Rent shall be payable by Tenant as if no Base Rent Abatement had been contemplated in the Lease, and (c) no such recapture by Landlord of the unamortized portion of the Base Rent Abatement shall constitute a waiver of any monetary Event of Default of Tenant or any election of remedies by Landlord.

			

 

5.     OPERATING EXPENSES

 

	 	
			(a)

				
			Effective as of the Adjustment Date, the term “Base Year” shall mean calendar year 2019, and the defined term “Base Year” in the Summary of Lease Terms is hereby amended accordingly. For calendar year 2019, the amount payable by Tenant under Article 4 of the Lease shall be determined based on the Lease, without giving effect to this Amendment, for the period in said calendar year prior to the Adjustment Date, and shall be determined based on the Lease, as amended by this Amendment, for the period in said calendar year from and after the Adjustment Date.

			

 

	 	
			(b)

				
			Effective as of the Adjustment Date, Tenant’s Percentage Share shall be decreased, prospectively, to 7.5396% (for purposes of clarity, applicable solely to that portion of the Premises comprising the Continuing Premises), and the defined term “Tenant’s Percentage Share” in the Summary of Lease Terms is hereby amended accordingly.

			

 

6.     PERMITTED TENANT ALTERATIONS

 

	 	
			(a)

				
			Subject to the terms of this Paragraph, provided no Event of Default is then in effect, Landlord shall provide Tenant up to, and not to exceed, the amount of One Million, Eight Hundred Ninety Thousand, Four Hundred Dollars ($1,890,400.00) (the “Allowance”), for third-party, out-of-pocket expenses for labor and materials (including without limitation design, architectural and project management fees) incurred by Tenant in connection with the construction and installation of Landlord approved Alterations to the Premises (such expenses being defined as “Approved Costs”, and the Landlord approved Alterations hereinabove referred to being defined as “Approved Premises Renovations”), provided that Tenant applies the Allowance as set forth in this Paragraph 6 on or before December 31, 2019 (the “Outside Allowance Date”). Except as hereinafter provided, no portion of the Allowance shall be credited to, or used to reimburse, Tenant for the purchase of any furniture, fixtures or office or voice and data equipment or Wiring; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, provided no Event of Default is then in effect, (i) Tenant may utilize up to One Hundred Thirty Two Thousand, Three Hundred Twenty Eight Dollars ($132,328.00) of the Allowance for voice and data Wiring and IT infrastructure costs, and (ii) provided that, on or before the Outside Allowance Date Tenant gives Landlord written notice of its election to do so, Tenant shall be entitled to apply up to One Hundred Eighty-Nine Thousand Forty Dollars ($189,040.00) of the Allowance against the Base Rent for the calendar month next coming due under the Lease.

			

 

	 	
			(b)

				
			Any portion of the Allowance not used or designated by Tenant prior to the Outside Allowance Date (i) for use (as evidenced by the submittal of Tenant’s plans and specifications) for Approved Premises Renovations, (ii) for voice and data Wiring and IT infrastructure costs (to the extent permitted under Paragraph 6(a)), and (iii) as a credit against Base Rent (to the extent permitted under Paragraph 6(a)), shall be deemed forfeited by Tenant and shall no longer be available for disbursement to, or for the account of, Tenant. Subject to the application of the Allowance, any and all costs and expenses attributable to the design, permitting and construction of the Approved Premises Renovations shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. For avoidance of doubt, Tenant may submit plans for Approved Premises Renovations and may utilize the Allowance for such Approved Premises Renovations beginning as of the Effective Date, subject to the terms of this Paragraph 6.

			

 

	 	
			(c)

				
			Tenant shall be entitled to apply the Allowance in any of the following ways, as designated by Tenant by written notice to Landlord: (i) it can seek reimbursement from the Allowance for Approved Costs separately paid for by it, such as design and architectural fees, (ii) it can have Landlord fund the Allowance on a pro rata basis with Tenant as provided later in this Paragraph 6 to pay for the costs of construction of the Approved Premises Renovations as such construction progresses, and/or (iii) it can apply a portion of the Allowance for voice and data Wiring and IT infrastructure costs and/or as a credit against Base Rent to the extent permitted under Paragraph 6(a).

			

 

	 	
			(d)

				
			Subject to the terms of this Paragraph, Landlord shall pay amounts due from the Allowance, based on paid invoices submitted by, together with mechanics’ lien releases (for progress payments and upon final payment, as the case may be) from, all contractors performing work in the Premises, within thirty (30) days of submission of said invoices and documentation (which invoices may be submitted to Landlord during the course of the design, construction and installation of the Approved Premises Renovations, but not more frequently than once per calendar month). If at any time (and from time to time) Landlord determines that the then budgeted cost of the Approved Premises Renovations is greater than the remaining amount of the Allowance, Landlord shall, in its reasonable judgment, determine the estimated excess portion of such cost (the “Excess Cost”). Tenant shall have the right to review and to propose adjustments to the scope of work contemplated by the Approved Premises Renovations to address any over budget expenses, but Landlord shall not be required to perform or continue to perform any work relating to the Approved Premises Renovations that would result in an increase in the cost thereof over the Allowance unless and until Tenant agrees to the Excess Cost (the “Excess Cost Funds”).

			

 

	 	
			(e)

				
			Provided that no Event of Default shall be declared under the Lease (as amended by this Amendment), Landlord agrees to fund, on a pro rata basis with Tenant, disbursements of the Allowance concurrently with Tenant’s funding of its pro rata share of the Excess Cost Funds; provided, however, in the event of a default by Tenant (not cured within five (5) business days following Notice to Tenant) in the funding of Tenant’s pro rata share of the Excess Cost Funds, Landlord shall be entitled to demand payment by Tenant of the entire remaining portion of the Excess Cost Funds prior to advancing any of Landlord’s funds comprising that portion of the Allowance designated for the Approved Premises Renovations (the “Pre-Funded Excess Costs”), and Landlord shall be entitled to draw against the Pre-Funded Excess Costs prior to advancing any funds comprising the Allowance to pay for the cost of the Approved Premises Renovations. For avoidance of doubt, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Landlord’s pro rata share of a payment due towards the cost of the Approved Premises Renovations (where there are costs over and above the Allowance) shall be based on the ratio that the Allowance bears to the total projected cost of the Approved Premises Renovations, and Tenant’s pro rata share shall be the percentage share remaining after subtracting Landlord’s pro rata share from 100. For example, assume that the amount of the Allowance designated by Tenant for use for Approved Premises Renovations covers two-thirds (2/3rds) of the budgeted cost of the Approved Premises Renovations. As construction of the Approved Premises Renovations progresses, the Approved General Contractor shall submit applications for payment on a monthly basis to Landlord. Assuming that the application for payment complies with Landlord’s reasonable requirements and is approved by Landlord and Tenant, each of Landlord and Tenant shall coordinate the timely payment to the Approved General Contractor of their respective pro rata share (which, based on the foregoing example, is two-thirds (2/3rds) of the amount sought in the application for payment by Landlord and one-third (1/3rd) of the amount sought in the application for payment by Tenant).

			

 

	 	
			(f)

				
			Tenant acknowledges and agrees that delays in the payment of Excess Cost Funds may result in a delay in the performance of the Approved Premises Renovations. Any delay in payment by Tenant of (i) its pro rata share of any Excess Cost Funds, or (ii) any Pre-Funded Excess Costs, following five (5) business days’ Notice to Tenant, shall entitle Landlord to cease all work with respect to the Approved Premises Renovations and, at the election of Landlord, shall be deemed a breach in the payment of a monetary charge under the Lease entitling Landlord to declare an Event of Default under the Lease, and to exercise its remedies under the Lease.

			

 

	 	
			(g)

				
			Landlord approves Revel Architecture and Design as Tenant’s architect for the preparation of plans and specifications relating to the Approved Premises Renovations; provided, however, Landlord reserves the right to have Tenant's plans reviewed by Landlord’s designated mechanical, electrical and structural engineers, should Tenant elect to engage engineers other than Landlord’s designated engineers for the preparation of Tenant’s plans, and the reasonable cost thereof shall be chargeable to Tenant (and deducted from the Allowance), provided that the cost of such reviews shall not exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). Landlord’s approval of plans, specifications and working drawings in connection with any Approved Premises Renovations shall create no responsibility or liability to Tenant on the part of Landlord or Landlord’s consultants for the design sufficiency of such plans, or their compliance with any laws (the plans and specifications for the Approved Premises Renovations, as approved by Landlord, are herein referred to as the “Approved Final Plans”). Landlord reserves the right to cause Tenant’s plans to be reviewed by Landlord’s architect for the Building, in which event Tenant agrees that the cost of said architectural peer review, not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00), shall be charged to Tenant and may be deducted by Landlord from the Allowance. Tenant shall not be required to remove the Approved Premises Renovations upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, except with respect to any portion of the Approved Premises Renovations (i) that constitute non-standard office improvements, and (ii) that Landlord identifies in writing during the process to develop the Approved Final Plans as constituting non-standard office improvements and that must be removed at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. The terms of Section 9.1 and 11.1 of the Lease shall apply with respect to such removal obligations, although the timing for Landlord to identify any portion of the Approved Premises Renovations for removal shall be governed by the terms of this Paragraph 6(d).

			

 

	 	
			(h)

				
			Upon approval of the Approved Final Plans, Landlord shall submit the same for permit approval, provided however, Tenant shall be responsible for any revisions to the Approved Final Plans required in order to obtain any and all permits required for Landlord to manage the construction and installation of the Approved Tenant Improvements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant, shall be required to comply, at its sole cost and expense, with any and all Laws required to be complied with as a condition of, or triggered by, the performance of the Approved Premises Renovations, whether in the Premises or elsewhere in any Common Areas of the Building, and the cost thereof shall be included in the budgeted costs of the Approved Premises Renovations. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall manage the construction and installation of the Approved Premises Renovations in accordance with the Approved Final Plans through contractors selected by Landlord. Except as hereinafter provided, the scope of the work for the Approved Renovations shall be bid among three general contractors on Landlord’s approved list of contractors for the Building, and the work shall be awarded to the low bidder unless otherwise directed by Tenant (the general contractor selected through said process is hereinafter referred to as the “Approved General Contractor”). Landlord will not unreasonably withhold consent to subcontractors for any trades providing labor and materials in connection with the Approved Premises Renovations, except where Landlord’s procedures require the use of only certain subcontractors for work on major building systems, in which case Landlord may select the subcontractor to perform the work without competitive bidding. Landlord shall conduct weekly construction meetings during the course of construction and periodically update construction schedules and coordinate the same with Tenant. For the avoidance of doubt, any subcontractors performing work included as part of the Approved Premises Renovations shall contract directly with the Approved General Contractor.

			

 

	 	
			(i)

				
			Landlord shall be entitled to charge a construction management fee on the hard costs of construction equal to 5% for the first $250,000.00 of costs of the Approved Premises Renovations, plus 4% for the next $250,000.00 of costs of the Approved Premises Renovations, plus 2.5% for the next $500,000.00 of costs of the Approved Premises Renovations, plus 1.5% for the remainder of the costs of the Approved Premises Renovations. For purposes of calculating the foregoing hard costs of construction, costs associated with the design, architecture and project management of the Approved Premises Renovations shall be excluded. Tenant authorizes Landlord to charge the construction management fee against, and deduct payment thereof from, the applicable Allowance as and when disbursements are made therefrom. Tenant acknowledges that such management and supervision services by Landlord are solely for the benefit of Landlord and the Building and Landlord is not the agent or fiduciary of Tenant with respect to the performance of the Approved Premises Renovations.

			

 

	 	
			(j)

				
			Landlord will coordinate the performance of the Approved Premises Renovations with Tenant, provided that Tenant acknowledges that, except as hereinafter provided, Landlord’s construction of the Approved Premises Renovations shall be performed during Normal Hours and while Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises and that the performance thereof will create noise, dust and other conditions which may cause interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the relocation of personnel and of any furniture and equipment in areas of the Premises affected by any construction. At Tenant’s request Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule work for hours other than Normal Hours, provided Tenant acknowledges that there may be an additional cost for such after-hours work. As Landlord is coordinating the construction of the Approved Premises Renovations, it will handle all complaints and inquiries from other tenants of the Building (e.g., tenants on the floors above and below the Continuing Premises) concerned about noise, dust, vibrations and other conditions that arise from such construction.

			

 

	 	
			(k)

				
			No delay in construction or completion of the Approved Premises Renovations nor any interference or other conditions relating to such construction will constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant or entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent or entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent or otherwise impair or constitute a waiver or defense to any obligation of Tenant under the Lease, and Tenant’s sole remedy shall by an action for damages against the general contractor for any defective conditions or work performed.

			

 

	 	
			(l)

				
			Landlord shall promptly repair any construction defects attributable to the Approved Premises Renovations that are reported by Tenant to Landlord within twelve (12) months of the completion of the Approved Premises Renovations, provided that the enforcement of said covenant shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for any construction defects and Tenant waives any and all Claims and/or the right to terminate the Lease (as amended by this Amendment) as a consequence thereof.

			

 

	 	
			(m)

				
			Subject to the terms of this Amendment, the Approved Premises Renovations shall be deemed Alterations subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease.

			

 

	 	
			(n)

				
			Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph, if any ACM is discovered and requires removal or remediation as part of the Approved Premises Renovations, Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, and not chargeable against the Allowance, shall be responsible for the remediation thereof in accordance with applicable Law, except if such ACM was introduced to the Premises or generated by Tenant from the Premises during the Term of the Lease, in which case the cost of remediation shall be borne entirely by Tenant (and shall be performed by Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Lease governing ACM removal and remediation). If Landlord is obligated to remediate any ACM under this Paragraph, the Outside Allowance Date shall be extended by the number of days that the construction of the Approved Premises Renovation is delayed due to such remediation.

			

 

7.     OPTION TO EXTEND

 

Tenant is hereby granted the right and option to extend the term of the Lease (as extended by this Amendment) subject to, and on the terms and conditions of, Section 33.2 of the Lease; provided, however, Section 33.2 is hereby amended to provide that (i) the Option Term subject to such extension shall be one, three (3) year term, and shall be applicable to the entire Premises only, and (ii) the Option must be exercised, if at all, by an Option Notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord not earlier than twelve (12) months nor later than nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date as amended by this Amendment. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall have no further rights or options to extend the Term under the Lease.

 

8.     SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant has caused to be delivered a Letter of Credit in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Existing Letter of Credit”) as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of its obligations under the Lease. In consideration for Landlord’s agreements under this Amendment to Lease, Tenant agrees to cause City National Bank (the “Issuer”), to issue a replacement to the Existing Letter of Credit, in the form attached to this Amendment as Exhibit A (the “Replacement Letter of Credit”), whereupon the Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed of no further effect. Landlord shall have the rights with respect to the draw and application of the Replacement Letter of Credit as provided in Section 5.3 of the Original Lease (and the Replacement Letter of Credit shall be deemed the Letter of Credit for purposes of the Lease, as amended), and the cash proceeds thereof shall be held as the Security Deposit under the Lease, as amended by this Amendment to Lease. Provided that (i) no monetary Event of Default has occurred under the Lease, (ii) Tenant (together with any Existing Subtenants) remains in occupancy of the Premises, and (iii) Tenant has not assigned the Lease or sublet more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises (excluding Permitted Transfers), then, commencing as of July 1, 2022, Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in the amount of the Letter of Credit to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) by way of an amendment that is in a form acceptable to Landlord.

 

9.     EXCESS HVAC AND SUPPLEMENTAL EQUIPMENT

 

	 	
			(a)

				
			Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Section 7.2(a) of the Lease contemplates the provision of Excess HVAC by Landlord and that Landlord maintains a chilled water loop, operated by Landlord on a 24/7 basis (subject to interruption as provided in the Lease), to provide such Excess HVAC. Tenant agrees that upon installation and commencement of operation of the ACM System (as hereinafter defined), Landlord may disconnect the Premises from the supplemental chilled air system that supplies Excess HVAC for Supplemental Equipment operated by Tenant in the Premises (and generally, as of the Effective Date, located in Tenant’s server room). As used herein, the term “ACM System” shall mean and refer to an electrical powered, separately metered, air-cooled mechanical cooling system, comprised of modular units that use ventilated air to force heat generated from heat generating equipment to be transferred from a designated space in the Premises to areas outside of the Building through the Building’s existing ducting system installed in the Premises. The design of the ACM System in the Premises will be developed by Landlord following consultation with, and subject to the approval of, Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All meters and modular units of the ACM System shall be located within the Premises in locations approved by Tenant.

			

 

	 	
			(b)

				
			Landlord agrees to pay for the cost of design, equipment purchase, installation and initial testing of the ACM System in the Premises, including without limitation the purchase and installation of any meters. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a one year manufacturer’s warranty of the ACM System (90 day warranty for labor) (the “System Warranty”). Once installed and operational, the ACM System will be deemed a Premises System for all purposes of the Lease; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, the ACM System shall not be removed by Tenant from the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the System Warranty, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, contract with a maintenance and service vendor approved by Landlord, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for all maintenance, service and replacement costs of the ACM System, without any reimbursement from Landlord. Tenant shall provide written reports, not less frequently than semi-annually, of the performance of vendor service and maintenance inspections of the ACM System.

			

 

	 	
			(c)

				
			All energy charges for the operation of the ACM System shall be separately metered to and payable by Tenant, as Additional Rent, on a direct basis, within thirty (30) days following presentation of an invoice therefor based on the actual per Kwh charges billed to Landlord for such energy consumption. The foregoing charges are in addition to the charges for Supplemental Equipment electricity consumption, if any, that are separately charged to Tenant under the Lease. Landlord shall install, at its expense, a meter to measure Supplemental Equipment charges.

			

 

	 	
			(d)

				
			For avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall limit the ability of Landlord to pass through to Tenant as Additional Rent charges for Excess HVAC provided to the Premises for heat-generating machines or equipment, other than normal fractional horsepower office machines, or equipment and lighting, other than Building Standard lighting, or the request by Tenant for Landlord to provide HVAC for general office or other uses during hours other than Normal Hours, or for electricity for Supplemental Equipment, which shall be subject to the terms of Section 7.2(a) of the Lease, without giving effect to the terms of this Paragraph 9. Section 7.2(b) of the Lease is deleted from the Lease affective as of the Adjustment Date.

			

 

10.     ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS TO LEASE

 

Section 33.1 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and is of no further force and effect.

 

11.     BROKERAGE

 

Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that it has negotiated this Amendment with Landlord through Tenant’s real estate broker, Savillis Studley (“Tenant’s Broker”), and through Landlord’s real estate broker, Cushman & Wakefield of California, Inc. (Landlord’s Broker”). Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that it has not authorized or employed, or acted by implication to authorize or employ, any real estate broker or salesman to act for or on behalf of Tenant in connection with this Amendment except for Tenant’s Broker. Landlord shall be responsible for the commission payable to Tenant’s Broker and Landlord’s Broker with respect to the transaction evidenced by this Amendment pursuant to a separate written agreement. Each party shall indemnify and defend the other party hereto for, and hold the other party harmless from and against, any and all claims of any person who claims to have represented indemnifying party in connection with this Amendment, and all liabilities arising out of or in connection with such claims; provided, however, Tenant shall have no obligation to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Landlord from and against any claims from Tenant's Broker or Landlord’s Broker.

 

12.     NO ASSIGNMENT

 

Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that it has not made any assignment, sublease, transfer or other disposition of the Lease, or any interest therein or in the Premises and that no party other than Tenant has the right to occupy any portion of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Landlord acknowledges that it has previously consented to subleases by Tenant to Crosspoint (formerly known as Sanctuary), and Financo (the “Existing Subtenants”), and that Tenant has indicated that Tenant wishes to maintain such subleases in effect for periods following the Adjustment Date. Subject to Tenant complying with the terms of Section 13.7 of the Lease, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the continued occupancy of the Premises by one or more of the Existing Subtenants (and such occupancy shall not trigger any rights of Landlord under Section 13.2 of the Lease).

 

13.     CERTIFICATION OF LEASE STATUS

 

Tenant hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date of execution of this Amendment, to the knowledge of Tenant, (i) there exists no defense or offset by Tenant to the enforcement of the Lease by Landlord, and (ii) Landlord is not, as of the date of execution of this Amendment, in default in the performance of any obligation of Landlord under the Lease, nor has any event occurred which, with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default or breach of the Lease by Landlord.

 

14.     AUTHORITY

 

Tenant and each person executing this Amendment on behalf of Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that (i) Tenant is duly incorporated or formed, as the case may be, and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its formation, (ii) Tenant has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Amendment and to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease as amended hereby, and (iii) each person signing this Amendment on behalf of Tenant is duly and validly authorized to do so, and delivers this Amendment as the act and deed of Tenant.

 

15.     COUNTERPARTS

 

This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, and by each party on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall together constitute one agreement. Delivery by any party of an electronic or facsimile copy of such party’s original, wet-ink signature shall be fully effective as if such original, wet-ink signature was delivered; provided, however, that any party delivering an electronic or facsimile copy of such party’s original, wet-ink signature shall deliver such original, wet-ink signature to the other party within a reasonable period of time.

Exhibit 10.1

 

Everbridge, Inc.

2018 Management Incentive Plan

 

 

 

Introduction

 

The 2018 Management Incentive Plan (“The Plan”) is designed as an incentive to participants to perform at their most effective level, as a reward for strong performance and as a way of sharing in the success of the Company.  The Plan is designed to be self-funded and is incorporated in the business targets and budgets.

 

The Plan is one element of Everbridge’s total compensation package, inclusive of base salary, equity, benefits and other variable compensation plans.  The Plan is designed to reward high performance – corporate, team and individual.  Awards payable under the Plan will be determined through a combination overall bonus pool funding which will be based upon predefined corporate financial objectives and achievement of specific team and individual/development goals.

 

This Plan is CONFIDENTIAL, and details may not be disclosed by any participants.

Eligibility for Participation

 

Designated employees (“Participants”) are eligible for inclusion in The Plan for the calendar year January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018.  Participation in The Plan is at the discretion of the Company.  Employees considered for participation include management level employees and individual contributors in functions who meet established criteria.  Eligibility for participation is not automatic and will be reviewed annually.

 

Participation for new hires designated as eligible to participate will be pro-rated based on days in The Plan during the plan year.  

 

There is no contractual commitment on the part of the Company in relation to future years of participation and in this respect the Plan does not confer on any employees any rights to future participation, future employment, or give rise to any cause of action against the Company.

 

 

 

Operation of The Plan

 

For each Participant a fixed cash amount will be specified for the purposes of participation in The Plan.  The overall Plan funding will be based on the achievement of corporate targets and/or business unit/departmental business plans.  Individual bonus achievement will be based upon achievement of team, individual and development-based performance goals as agreed to by you and your manager and maintained within Reflektiv.  A copy of the business plan will be on file with the Human Resources Department and each participant will be provided a copy. 

 

Everbridge management reserves the right to modify the Plan at any time.  Notification of changes to the Plan will be made in writing to affected participants.  Changes may be made to the Plan periodically in order to revise goals, update strategies or correct errors.

 

Performance against business targets will be assessed at the end of the fiscal year once all financial results of the Company have been prepared and approved.  Everbridge management will have the discretion to adjust, up or down, any employee’s payout based on subjective assessment of the employee’s individual performance throughout the year.  Any adjustment to individual bonus target will not increase the overall bonus pool funding relative to the level of achievement of the Company.

 

All metrics will be measured independently.  For most Plan elements, a minimum threshold between 85-90% must be achieved for each element to be qualified for payout.  If any individual element is not achieved, other elements of the plan may still payout, if the requisite minimum threshold is met.  

 

Payment

 

Bonus payments will be made annually after the official close of the operating year, estimated to occur no later than May of the year following.  Payment will be made to each participant provided that the participant:

 

	
 
	
•
	
Has not given notice to resign employment before any payment is made, and

 

	
 
	
•
	
Remains an active employee at the time of payout.

 

Any payment to which participants in the following categories may be entitled will be pro-rated:

 

	
 
	
•
	
Employees whose eligibility for participation in The Plan begins after January 1, 2018, or

 

	
 
	
•
	
Employees who are transferred to another position, business unit, department or group within the Company during the plan year and their new position does not qualify them as eligible to participate in The Plan.

 

	
 
	
•
	
Employees who transfer to a position and become eligible to participate in the Plan during the plan year.

 

Any payment in whole or in part shall be made through the Company’s normal payroll process and will be net of any appropriate Income Tax, Social Security Contributions or other relevant deductions.

 

The Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors of Everbridge, Inc. reserves the right to amend the plan at any time based on business conditions.

 

Contractual Status               

 

Payments under The Plan are not contractual.  No legally enforceable right to payment will arise under The Plan, nor any right to compensation or damages for non-payment as a result of the termination of employment (however caused), or for any other reason.

2

 

 

The Plan is not a guarantee of employment for a definite period of time.  The participant acknowledges and understands that she or he, or Everbridge, may terminate the employment relationship at any time with or without cause.

 

The Plan terminates, for the participant, on the date the participant’s employment with Everbridge is terminated.

 

This Plan shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

Validity      

 

The Plan is valid only for the calendar year January 1, 2018 – December 31, 2018.  At the expiration of this Plan, Everbridge will establish a new Plan for Participants.
