SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE

 

This Second Amendment to Lease (“Second Amendment”) is made this 22nd day of January, 2018 by and between Faith Realty II, LLC (“Landlord”) and Summer Infant (USA), Inc. (“Tenant”).

 

BACKGROUND

 

The Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease dated March 24, 2009 (“Initial Lease”), which was amended by Amendment to Lease dated May 13, 2015 (“Amendment” and together with the Initial Lease referred to as the “Lease”). The Tenant has exercised its right to extend the term of the Lease for the period commencing on April 1, 2018 and running through March 31, 2021 (the “Extension Period”) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Amendment. The parties have had discussions regarding a build out by the Landlord of a mezzanine area in the Premises, and towards that end, the parties entered into that certain Letter of Intent, dated August 17, 2017 (“LOI”). The Tenant has informed the Landlord that it does not want to proceed with the build out of the mezzanine area as contemplated by the LOI. The parties do desire, however, to make further modifications to the Lease to incorporate certain work that the Landlord has agreed to perform and to address the performance by the Tenant of the work needed to repair/replace the damage caused by a casualty loss, all on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Capitalized Terms.

 

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to such terms in the Lease.
