INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission):
(a) The Registrants prospectus filed on September 16, 2016 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, relating to the registration statement on Form S-1 originally filed on August 19, 2016, as amended (File No. 333-213217), which contains audited financial statements for the Registrants latest fiscal year for which such statements have been filed.
(b) The description of the Registrants Common Stock contained in the Registrants registration statement on Form 8-A filed on September 12, 2016 (File No. 001-37874) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents, reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents; provided, however, that documents, reports and definitive proxy or information statements, or portions thereof, which are furnished and not filed in accordance with the rules of the Commission shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.

ITEM 4. | DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES. |
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. | INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. |
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. | INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. |
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporations board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.
The Registrants amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be effective upon the closing of the Registrants initial public offering contains provisions that eliminate the liability of its directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent under applicable law.
The Registrants amended and restated bylaws to be effective upon the closing of the Registrants initial public offering provide that:
| the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by law; |
| the Registrant may indemnify its other officers, employees and agents to the extent not prohibited by law; |
| the Registrant is required upon satisfaction of certain conditions to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and executive officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by law; and |
| the rights conferred in the amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive. |
In addition, the Registrant has entered, and intends to continue to enter, into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and executive officers. These agreements provide for the indemnification of directors and executive officers for all expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were agents of the Registrant, subject to certain exceptions.
The Registrant currently carries liability insurance for its directors and officers for securities matters.
The indemnification provisions in the Registrants amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and the indemnification agreements entered into or to be entered into between the Registrant and each of its directors and executive officers are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrants directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

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 this 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% 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) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and 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 the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement; and
(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. |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the Registrant or used or referred to by the Registrant; |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the Registrant; and |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the Registrant to the purchaser. |
(b) | The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 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 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the 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 the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the 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, the 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, the 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 City of Burlington, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on September 16, 2016.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Everbridge, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and you have requested our opinion with respect to certain matters 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, covering the offering of up to an aggregate of 4,392,637 shares of the Companys Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the Shares), including (i) 1,892,637 shares (the 2008 Plan Shares) reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options issued under the Companys 2008 Employee Incentive Plan, as amended (the 2008 Plan) or upon the potential roll-over to the Companys 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2016 Plan), (ii) 2,000,000 shares initially reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2016 Plan (the 2016 Plan Shares) and (iii) 500,000 shares (the ESPP Shares) reserved for issuance pursuant to the Companys 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP, and collectively with the 2008 Plan and the 2016 Plan, the Plans).
In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the Registration Statement and the related prospectuses, the Companys Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and Bylaws, as amended and as currently in effect, its forms of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws to be effective upon the closing of the Companys initial public offering, the Plans and such other documents, records, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. We have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof.
Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the subject matter hereof.
On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the 2008 Plan Shares, when sold and issued in accordance with the 2008 Plan, the 2016 Plan Shares, when sold and issued in accordance with the 2016 Plan, and the ESPP Shares, when sold and issued in accordance with the ESPP, and in each case when sold and issued in accordance with the Registration Statement and related prospectuses, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable (except as to shares issued pursuant to certain deferred payment arrangements, which will be fully paid and nonassessable when such deferred payments are made in full).
