Tenant’s failure to provide a Letter of Credit satisfying the terms set forth below shall constitute an Event of Default pursuant to the terms of the Lease.

 

As of the Security Deposit Transfer Date, Section 4.6 of the Lease shall be removed and replaced with the following text:

 

- 2 -

 

“4.6.Security Deposit.

 

4.6.1.Letter of Credit.  Tenant has delivered to Landlord a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”) in the form of a Letter of Credit (as defined below) in the amount of $450,000.00 for the faithful performance of all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease.

 

4.6.2.Letter of Credit Requirements.  The letter of credit provided to Landlord hereunder as the Security Deposit shall be in the form of an unconditional, irrevocable, standby letter of credit which shall be in full force and effect for the periods required hereby, and shall meet all of the following conditions (a “Letter of Credit”):

 

(a)it shall be issued for the benefit of Landlord by an Eligible Bank (defined below) approved by Landlord;

 

(b)it shall be effective on the Security Deposit Transfer Date and have a term of not less than one (1) year following its date of issuance and contain automatic year-to-year renewal provisions subject to the Letter of Credit issuer’s obligation to notify Landlord in writing by certified or registered mail of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit;

 

(c)the expiry date of the Letter of Credit for the final Lease Year of the Term shall be at least thirty (30) days following the Expiration Date of the Lease;

 

(d)it shall provide for the amount thereof as set forth in Subsection 4.6.1 to be available to the Landlord in multiple drawings conditioned only upon presentation of a sight draft;

 

(e)it shall be assignable by Landlord to its successors, assigns and mortgagees and by any successive beneficiaries thereof at no cost to transferor or transferee (Tenant agreeing to pay such charges in connection with any transfer of the Letter of Credit), and shall expressly permit multiple assignments; and

 

(f)it shall be in such form as shall be acceptable to Landlord.

 

4.6.3An “Eligible Bank” shall mean a commercial or savings bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and having total assets in excess of $2,000,000,000.00 which shall be a financial institution having a rating of not less than BBB or its equivalent by Standard and Poors Corporation and subject to a Thompson Watch Rating of C or better. Tenant, at its expense, shall cause the issuing bank to provide Landlord’s then-current (as of the initial issuance of the Letter of Credit) mortgage lender with a written acknowledgment which evidences the issuing bank’s consent to Landlord’s collateral assignment of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit and its acknowledgment of the security interest of such mortgage lender therein within ten (10) business days following the request of Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee therefor.

 

4.6.4Substitute Letter of Credit.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit that satisfies the requirements for a Letter of Credit stated in this Subsection 4.6.2 for the applicable period not later than ten (10) business days following delivery of a non-renewal notice by the Letter of Credit issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit issued to Landlord or thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled expiration of the Letter of Credit, whichever first occurs (such date, the “Re-Delivery Deadline”).   If Tenant fails to deliver the substitute Letter of Credit within such 10-business day period, Landlord shall have the right to draw the Letter of Credit and receive the proceeds as a cash Security Deposit. Tenant agrees that notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, its failure to furnish Landlord with the required Security Deposit either in the form of a substitute Letter of Credit in compliance with the requirements for the initial Letter of Credit prior to the Re-Delivery Deadline shall not be subject to any rights of notice or cure under this Lease.

4.6.5Landlord’s Rights Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence of any of the Events of Default described in Article 13 hereof, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to present the Letter of Credit for payment by the issuing bank and the proceeds thereof shall be due and payable to Landlord in accordance with the terms hereof and the Letter of Credit. Tenant agrees that Landlord may, without waiving any of Landlord’s other rights and remedies under this Lease upon the occurrence of any of the Events of Default, apply the Security Deposit to remedy any failure by Tenant to perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions to be performed by Tenant under this Lease and to compensate Landlord for any damages incurred as a result of any such default, including payment of Landlord’s expenses to construct any tenant improvements and pay leasing brokerage commissions with respect to this Lease or any amendments of this Lease. If Landlord uses any portion of the Security Deposit to cure any Event of Default by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall forthwith replenish the Security Deposit to the original amount within ten (10) days following written notice from Landlord in the manner directed by Landlord in such notice (which may be in the form of a new or amended Letter of Credit, or in the form of a cash payment). If Tenant fails to restore the full amount of the Security Deposit within such 10- business day period, then the amount of such deficiency shall be subject to the charges described in Section 4.5. During any period that Landlord is holding the Security Deposit in the form of cash, Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on any such deposit.

 

4.6.6Sale of Building.  In the event of a sale or other transfer of the Building (or Landlord’s interest therein), Landlord shall have the right to transfer the balance of the Security Deposit to the new owner or to transferee. Upon any such transfer and receipt the successor landlord that it has received the Security Deposit and assumes all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit; and Tenant agrees to look to the new landlord for the return of such Security Deposit. If Tenant is not in default hereunder at the end of the Term, Landlord will, within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, return the Security Deposit, or so much as has not been applied by Landlord, to Tenant or the last permitted assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder at the expiration of the Term.

 

4.6.7Right to Reduce Letter of Credit.

amends the Letter of Credit by reducing the amount of the Letter of Credit by the Scheduled Reduction Amount.

- 11 -

 

Exhibit A – Fifth Amendment Work

A.1Delivery of the Second Expansion Premises.

 

A.1.1Plans for Tenant Improvements. Tenant and Landlord agree and acknowledge that as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date Tenant shall lease from Landlord the certain 18,541 rentable square feet of area located the third (3rd) floor of the Riverview Building (the “Second Expansion Premises”). Within fifteen (15) days of the full execution of this Fifth Amendment, Landlord and Tenant shall meet with Landlord’s architect to facilitate the Landlord’s architect’s preparation of a draft concept plan for the Second Expansion Premises (the “Draft Concept Plan”). Tenant shall reasonably cooperate to permit Landlord’s architect to complete the Draft Concept Plan for Tenant’s approval not later than forty-five (45) days following the full execution of this Fifth Amendment. Upon Tenant’s approval of the Draft Concept Plan, Landlord shall have architectural and construction plans and drawings prepared for the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements (the “Fifth Amendment Final Plans”) no later than forty-five (45) days after the Draft Concept Plan has been completed (subject to any Tenant Delay) (the “Fifth Amendment Final Plan Delivery Date”), which such Fifth Amendment Final Plans shall be consistent with the Draft Concept Plan approved by Tenant and the “Fifth Amendment Tenant Standards” attached hereto as Exhibit B – Fifth Amendment Work, which shows Tenant’s leasehold improvements and installations. All tenant finishes and materials shall be substantially consistent with such finishes and materials used in the Existing Premises (the “Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements”). The Fifth Amendment Final Plans shall be prepared by an architect licensed to conduct business in the State of Connecticut.

 

Tenant agrees to approve or disapprove of such Fifth Amendment Final Plans within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s delivery of such Fifth Amendment Final Plans. In the event that Tenant disapproves any such Fifth Amendment Final Plans, Landlord shall promptly resubmit the same and Tenant shall approve such plans or disapprove them setting forth its reasons for such disapproval within five (5) business days after its receipt of the resubmitted plans or specifications. The Fifth Amendment Final Plans as approved by Tenant are hereinafter referred to as the “Fifth Amendment Approved Plans”. Landlord shall “substantially complete” (as defined below) the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Fifth Amendment Approved Plans and deliver possession of the Second Expansion Premises to Tenant subject to the terms and conditions of this Exhibit A – Fifth Amendment Work.

 

A.1.2Target Delivery Date. Subject to Tenant’s performance of its obligations under the Original Amended Lease, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to substantially complete the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Fifth Amendment Final Plans and to deliver possession of the Second Expansion Premises to Tenant, on or before April 1, 2016 (such date, the “Fifth Amendment Target Delivery Date”). Landlord’s obligation to construct the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements shall not require Landlord to incur overtime costs or expenses nor the construction of any “Specialty Work” (defined in Subsection A.2.1 hereof).

 

A.1.3Substantial Completion. The Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements shall be deemed substantially completed when Landlord’s contractor or architect certifies to Landlord and Tenant in writing that the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements have been completed in accordance with the Fifth Amendment Final Plans, subject only to normal punchlist items, and Landlord, on behalf of Tenant, has obtained a letter from the applicable official of the Town of Wilton certifying the lawful use and occupancy of the Premises for the purposes specified in the Original Amended Lease; provided, however, that in the event that there is any delay in the issuance of the certificate of occupancy by the Town of Wilton pending completion of any work associated with the Tenant’s System (defined hereinafter), then the issuance of the certificate of occupancy shall not be required to establish the Commencement Date.

 

A.1.4Extension of Fifth Amendment Target Delivery Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements are not substantially completed on or before the Fifth Amendment Target Delivery Date, then the Fifth Amendment Target Delivery Date shall be extended by the number of days of construction delay in achieving substantial completion resulting from any “Force Majeure Delay” or “Tenant Delay,” subject to the operation of Section A.2 hereof.

 

- 12 -

 

A.1.5Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements – Landlord Contribution Cap. In connection with the completion of the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements, Landlord has agreed to contribute a leasehold improvement allowance in the amount of up to Four Hundred Seven Thousand Nine Hundred Two and 00/100 Dollars ($407,902.00) (the “Landlord Contribution Cap”); provided, however, that all costs and expenses of preparing the Second Expansion Premises for the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements (e.g., removal of any prior tenant’s good and effects, putting the Second Expansion Premises in broom clean condition and repair to skylights in the Second Expansion Premises) shall be the sole responsibility of Landlord. Landlord hereby agrees that not more than $64,893.50 (the “Soft Costs Cap”) of the Landlord Contribution Cap may be used towards the actual out-of-pocket, third-party costs of the architectural services needed to prepare the Draft Concept Plan and the Fifth Amendment Final Plans and permit fees (collectively, “Soft Costs”). Subject to the provision of the next to last sentence of this paragraph A.1.5, Tenant shall be shall be responsible for the cost, if and to the extent actually incurred by Landlord, of the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements in excess of the Landlord Contribution Cap and the Soft Costs in excess of the Soft Costs Cap (in either event, the “Excess Amount”), payable to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s request therefor. Along with the submission of Fifth Amendment Final Plans, Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon a final budget (the “Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements Budget”) for the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements, which such Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements Budget shall include a reasonable and standard contingency amount. To the extent the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements Budget exceeds the Landlord Contribution Cap or the Soft Costs exceed the Soft Costs Cap, Tenant’s approval of the Fifth Amendment Final Plans and the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements Budget, shall be deemed Tenant’s acknowledgement to pay any Excess Amount as set forth above. In the event Tenant shall request changes to the materials or installations in the Fifth Amendment Final Plans that result in the costs to complete the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements exceeding the Landlord Contribution Cap, Tenant shall be responsible for 100% of the payment of any additional costs or charges related to such change orders. Except to the extent arising from any Tenant Delays or from changes to the materials or installations in the Fifth Amendment Final Plans requested by Tenant or to the extent agreed upon by Tenant as an Excess Amount in connection with the parties agreement of the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvement Budget, Landlord shall be responsible for any increases in the cost to complete the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements above and beyond the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements Budget. Tenant shall have no right to apply any portion of the Landlord Contribution Cap to the payment of Annual Base Rent or to receive payment of the excess amount of the Landlord Contribution Cap, if any, that may be available after Landlord’s substantial completion of the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements.

Delayed Delivery.

 

A.2.1Delay in Substantial Completion.

(a)“Force Majeure” or any cause beyond the control of Landlord or its general contractor or subcontractors (a “Force Majeure Delay”), or

 

(b)delay (a “Tenant Delay”) resulting from: (i) Tenant’s failure to comply with any of the delivery dates or approval dates contained in this Exhibit A – Fifth Amendment Work relative to the design, planning, selection of finishes and pricing for the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements, (ii) Tenant’s failure to approve the Draft Concept Plan or the Fifth Amendment Final Plans on or before the dates set forth above, (iii) Tenant’s failure to provide response to written requests for information, approvals or disapprovals regarding Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements within the time periods established in this Exhibit A – Fifth Amendment Work (or if not so stated, then within two (2) business days after request by Landlord or its contractors), (iv) Tenant’s requests for changes in the approved Draft Concept Plan or the Fifth Amendment Final Plans, or for the inclusion of materials or installations in the construction of the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements other than building standard items or items with delivery requirements that 

- 13 -

 

are likely to have the effect of delaying the substantial completion of the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements beyond the Fifth Amendment Target Delivery Date (“Specialty Work”), or (v) any acts, omissions, non-payment, defaults or misconduct of Tenant (or its agents, employees, design professionals, contractors, licensees or invitees) with respect to the construction of the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements; provided, however, that Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant within two (2) business days of any claim of Tenant Delay and such notice shall set forth the detailed basis for such claim. As used in the Lease, the term “Force Majeure” shall mean casualty, acts of God or the elements, inability to obtain materials or services, labor disputes or strikes, delays by governmental departments in issuing permits, governmental regulations or controls, civil commotion, war or similar events.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to be so financially responsible for Rent for the first seven (7) days of any aggregate Tenant Delay.

 

A.2.3Effect of Landlord Delay. If Landlord is unable to substantially complete the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements and deliver possession of the Second Expansion Premises to Tenant within one (1) month following the Fifth Amendment Target Delivery Date as a result of delays resulting from causes solely within Landlord’s control, Tenant shall receive a per diem credit of Annual Base Rent for each day that the Fifth Amendment Commencement Date is delayed beyond the such one (1)-month period solely as a result of such Landlord’s delay.

 

A.3Tenant’s Systems. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall design, install, construct and maintain Tenant’s data, telephone, audio-visual, internet and video systems (“Tenant’s Communications Systems”) and Tenant’s furniture systems (collectively, the “Tenant’s Systems”) within the Second Expansion Premises and the related wiring within the Building necessary for the operation thereof. Tenant’s Communications Systems shall not be included in the Fifth Amendment Tenant Improvements. Landlord will permit Tenant and its agents, architects, engineers, space planners, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen (“Tenant’s Agents and Consultants”) to have access to the Premises and the Building (at the sole risk of such parties and without liability to Landlord) for such purposes subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, such access to be (a) temporary and solely for the purpose of designing and installing the Tenant’s Systems, and (b) permissible as of the later of (i) March 17, 2016 or (ii) fourteen (14) days prior to the reasonably ascertainable Fifth Amendment Effective Date in the event that the Fifth Amendment Target Delivery Date is extended in accordance with the provisions hereof. The design, plans and specifications for the wiring, cabling and equipment for Tenant’s Communication System, and its locations and connections from within the Second Expansion Premises to the Building risers, conduits and systems shall be subject to Landlord’s prior review and approval. Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable prior written notice of any construction work relating to Tenant’s Systems that involves any Building systems, and all such work shall be coordinated with Landlord and subject to Landlord supervision.

 

A.4Confirmatory Amendments. When the Fifth Amendment Effective Date has been finally determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Exhibit A – Fifth Amendment Work, the parties hereto shall execute a document in recordable form, setting forth said dates and said document shall be deemed a supplement to and part of this Lease.

Annual Bonus Plan 
 Division Level

Effective January 1, 2018

 

I.                                        Plan Objectives

 

US LBM Holdings, LLC (“US LBM”) has an annual bonus plan (the “Division Bonus Plan” or “Plan”) for its eligible subsidiary operating companies (each a “Division” and collectively the “Divisions”). This Division Bonus Plan is a discretionary part of US LBM’s total compensation strategy. It is designed to support US LBM’s mission as well as attract, motivate, and retain high performing associates for its Divisions. It is intended to reward those members of Division management and their associates who substantially contribute to the performance and overall success of their Division and thereby US LBM.

 

II.                                   Variable Pay Plan

 

The Division Bonus Plan is a variable pay plan. Any payments received by Participants under the Division Bonus Plan will not become a permanent part of the Participant’s base pay. Payments under the Division Bonus Plan, if any, may vary from one Plan Period to the next, and must be re-earned during each Plan Period.

 

III.                              Eligible Participants

 

Eligibility in the Division Bonus Plan is open to active employees of a Participating Division (as defined below) and as selected by the Division President and General Manager (a “Division President”) each Plan Period in consultation with US LBM. The Division President may be the sole Participant with the written approval of US LBM prior to the commencement of the Plan Period.

 

IV.                               Plan Period

 

The Plan Period is the one (1) year period coinciding with US LBM’s fiscal year, January 1st through December 31st.

 

V.                                    Division Bonus Pool

 

A bonus pool (the “Division Bonus Pool”) will be established for each Plan Period by US LBM with such performance thresholds or other conditions for participation as established by US LBM for each Plan Period (each Division that meets such performance thresholds or conditions, a “Participating Division”). The Division Bonus Pool target amount (“Bonus Pool Target”) will

 

1

 

be determined by US LBM as a percentage of the Participating Division’s EBITDA budget for the Plan Period.

 

VI.                               Division Bonus Pool Performance Metrics

 

The performance metrics applicable to payouts of the Division Bonus Pool against the Bonus Pool Target for each Participating Division will be determined by US LBM for each Plan Period (the “Performance Metrics”).

 

VII.                          Allocation of the Division Bonus Pool

 

The Division President shall allocate the Participating Division’s Bonus Pool, in consultation with US LBM. The Division President is encouraged to allocate the Division Bonus Pool according to each Participant’s impact on the Performance Metrics. A Division President with no Prior Bonus Agreement (defined below) may award himself/herself an annual bonus, not to exceed 50% of the total Division Bonus Pool, as adjusted under Section X. If the Division President with no Prior Bonus Agreement is the sole Participant then he/she may award himself/herself 100% of the Division Bonus Pool.

 

VIII.                     Timing of Awards

 

Bonus payments will be made following the Plan Period in which the bonus is earned and the completion of the annual audit of the financial statements of the relevant parent entity of US LBM, but in any event no later than March 15 of the year following such Plan Period. Awards will be subject to all required and customary withholding and deductions by US LBM or its affiliate.

 

IX.                               Separation of Employment

 

No Participant shall receive a bonus under the Division Bonus Plan unless the Participant is an active employee of US LBM or a Division on the bonus payment date. Any Participant who resigns (or who has provided notice of resignation) or is terminated from employment for any reason is ineligible for any bonus compensation under the plan.

 

X.                                    Impact of Other Bonus Arrangements

 

As some Division Presidents and other employees have entered into employment agreements with the relevant Division or US LBM that provide for the payment of an annual bonus (a “Prior Bonus Agreement”), the Division Bonus Pool for a Participating Division shall be reduced by the total amount payable pursuant to such Prior Bonus Agreements for that Participating Division. For any Division President or employee of a Participating Division who has a Prior Bonus Agreement based on meeting annual financial and other performance targets to be established by the board of US LBM or a subsidiary thereof, the Performance Metrics herein shall be deemed to constitute such established annual or other performance targets. In addition, if an amount payable pursuant to another bonus plan of US LBM or its affiliates (including without limitation the US LBM Annual Bonus Plan Corporate) is determinable by reference to the Performance Metrics of a Participating Division, then such amount shall be deemed to be payable pursuant to a Prior Bonus Agreement, and shall reduce the applicable Division Bonus Pool in accordance with this Section X.

XI.                               Sunset Provision

 

This Division Bonus Plan may be modified, amended, continued, withdrawn or terminated at any time. Awards under this Division Bonus Plan are awarded entirely at the discretion of US LBM. This Division Bonus Plan is not intended to be a binding contract between Participants and US LBM or a particular Division. Employment is “at-will” and, thus, may be terminated at any time and for any reason not prohibited by law, with or without cause or notice. The offer or receipt of a bonus should not be construed as contractually limiting that right or guaranteeing employment for any specific period of time.

 

XII.                          Adjustments

 

US LBM may in its discretion (a) reduce or eliminate the amount of any payment under this Division Bonus Plan that would otherwise be made to any Participant and/or (b) determine that an amount shall be paid under this Division Bonus Plan that is greater than what would apply under the applicable Performance Metrics, based on individual performance or any other criteria as the Administrator reasonably deems appropriate.

 

XIII.                     Administration

 

This Division Bonus Plan shall be administered by US LBM (the “Administrator”), which shall have the authority to make all determinations and take all other actions necessary or appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan. The Administrator’s interpretation of the Plan, and all actions taken within the scope of its authority, shall be final and binding on US LBM, a particular Division and current and former Participants under the Plan.

 

XIV.                      Miscellaneous

 

This Division Bonus Plan, and all determinations hereunder, to the extent not otherwise governed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code or the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and construed in accordance therewith without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. The Plan is an unfunded plan and participants shall have the status of unsecured creditors of the Company. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income and Security Act of 1974, as amended. This plan is intended to provide for payments that are exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code to the maximum extent possible and otherwise to be administered in a manner consistent with the requirements, where applicable, of such provisions and shall be interpreted accordingly.
