Raritan, New Jersey

 

THIS AMENDMENT is made this 8 day of October, 2007 by and between RARITAN JOHNSON ASSOCIATES, a New Jersey Limited Liability Company having an address at 30 Route 22, Green Brook, New Jersey 08812 (herein after called “Landlord”) and UFP TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation having an address at East 172 Main Street, Georgetown, MA 01833 (hereinafter called “Tenant”).

 

WHEREAS, Landlord’s predecessor in interest, Raritan Associates, and Tenant (under Tenant’s prior name, United Foam Plastics Corporation) entered into and executed a lease dated as of January 4, 1993 (the “Original Lease”) for the Premises located at 1 Johnson Drive, Building No. 4, Raritan, New Jersey 08869, and as more particularly described therein:

 

WHEREAS, the Original Lease was amended by Amendment No. 1 dated January 2, 2000 and by Amendment No. 2 dated August 2001.  The subject matter of each of Amendments No. 1 and No. 2 was additional space, not part of the Demised Premises referred to in the Original Lease. The provisions of both Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 have become moot.

 

WHEAREAS, the Original Lease was further amended by “Amendment No. 3 to Lease” dated September 5, 2002, which amendment, among other things, extended the Term until February 29, 2008.

In the absence of such agreement within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s exercise of said option, the fair market rental rate for the extended term shall be determined within the following thirty (30) days by an independent, reputable third party appraiser chosen by Landlord, subject to the Tenant’s reasonable approval, who shall have at least ten (10) years experience in the commercial real estate market in the area in which the building is located.  The Tenant may rescind its exercise of the extension option by so notifying the Landlord within five (5) business days after receiving the appraiser’s determination of fair market rent. Time is of the essence of this Lease, including, without limitation, this Section.

Such Termination Fee shall be due and payable no later than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of termination.

 



 

6.                                       The provisions of the Original Lease as modified by this Amendment No. 4 are applicable during Extension Term No. 3. Except as specifically amended hereby, the Lease remains in full force and effect.
