  • When a tenant vacates commercial property before the lease term has expired, it may be able to rent the premises to a third party. The tenant would be the sublessor and the third party would be the sublessee. Besides preparing a sublease, both parties will want to review the provisions for assignment or subletting in the original lease agreement between the landlord and the sublessor.
  • Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
  • Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
  • When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease. Other important terms include whether the space can be subleased, which parties are responsible for maintenance, and whether any furniture and furnishings will be provided.

                                      SUBLEASE

     This Sublease is entered into effective as of April 1, 1999, at Travis
County, Texas by and between POWERSHIFT VENTURES, LLC, ("SUBLESSOR"), and
PERFICIENT, INC. ("SUBLESSEE").

                                     RECITALS:

     A.   Pursuant to the Office Building Lease Agreement dated October 15,
1998, between Sublessor, as tenant, and Austin Lakewood on the Park, Ltd., as
landlord (the "MAIN LEASE") Sublessor has leased certain premises described
therein consisting of 102,086 square feet of space (the "LEASED PREMISES"), in
the office building known as Building B of Lakewood on the Park in Austin, Texas
(the "BUILDING");

     B.   Hub Properties Trust ("LANDLORD") is the successor in interest to
Austin Lakewood on the Park, Ltd. and is the current owner of the Building and
the rights and interests of the landlord under the Lease; and

     C.   Sublessor desires to sublease the portion of the Leased Premises as
described on EXHIBIT A attached hereto (the "PREMISES"), together with the
office furniture and fixtures located therein, to Sublessee and Sublessee
desires to sublease the Premises from Sublessor, subject to and conditioned upon
agreements hereinafter set forth.

     In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, Sublessor hereby
subleases the Premises to Sublessee, subject to the terms of the Main Lease, and
subject further to the provisions of this Sublease, as follows:

1.   PREMISES, COMMON AREAS.   During the term of this Sublease, Sublessee shall
     have the right to use and occupy the Premises and shall also have the right
     to use and occupy equally with Sublessor the front lobby, kitchens, and
     reasonable common areas in the Leased Premises.

2.   TERM AND TERMINATION.  The term of this Sublease shall commence as of April
     1, 1999 and shall continue from month to month thereafter unless terminated
     by either party on thirty (30) days written notice.

3.   INCORPORATION OF MAIN LEASE.  Insofar as the provisions of the Main Lease
     do not conflict with the specific provisions of this Sublease, they and
     each of them are incorporated into this Sublease as if fully completely
     rewritten herein, and Sublessee agrees to be bound to the Sublessor with
     respect to the Premises by all the terms of the Main Lease and to assume
     towards Sublessor and perform all the obligations and responsibilities
     accruing from and after the commencement date of the term of this Sublease
     that Sublessor, by the Main Lease, assumes towards the Landlord, except for
     the payment of rent by Sublessee to Sublessor, which is governed by
     Paragraph 4 herein.  Terms not defined in this Sublease shall have the
     meanings given such terms in the Main Lease.  Sublessee agrees to look
     solely to Landlord for any and all remedies it may seek for any damages of
     any kind related to the Main Lease, except as expressly provided in this
     Sublease; provided, however, the foregoing shall not impair Sublessee's
     right to seek any remedies it may have against Sublessor due to Sublessor's
     breach of this Sublease.  Sublessor shall have no liability to Sublessee
     for any wrongful action or default on the part of Landlord pursuant to the
     terms of the Main Lease, and Sublessee hereby agrees to look solely to
     Landlord in event of any such wrongful action or default; provided,
     however, that Sublessor shall not do anything nor permit anything to be
     done that would cause the Main Lease to be terminated or forfeited because
     of any right of termination or forfeiture reserved or vested in Landlord,
     Sublessor, or any other party under the Main Lease.

4.   RENT.  Sublessee agrees to pay to Sublessor in advance, on or before the
     first day of each month, rent in the amount of $2,200 per month.

5.   EQUIPMENT, FIXTURES, FURNITURE, AND FURNISHINGS

     Sublessor and/or its affiliates have placed certain equipment, fixtures,
     furniture and furnishings in service in the Leased Premises necessary for
     the operation of business offices in the Premises (the "PERSONAL
     PROPERTY"). Sublesseee agrees to use reasonable

     within the Premises and in the common areas.
    
     5.2  ADDITIONAL PERSONAL PROPERTY. Sublessor or Sublessee may from time to
     time purchase additional personal property.  All such additional personal
     property shall be acquired by each party individually and not as tenants in

6.   ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS; SUBLEASE.  Sublessee shall make no
     alterations or improvements to the Premises without Sublessor's and
     Landlord's prior written consent pursuant to the terms and provisions of
     the Main Lease (which consent by Sublessor shall not be unreasonably
     withheld or delayed); any permitted alterations or improvements shall be at
     Sublessee's sole cost and expense.  Sublessee may, without Landlord's
     consent, erect such shelves, bins, office equipment and trade fixtures as
     it desires, as may be permitted under the Main Lease.  Sublessee shall have
     no right to assign or sublet any interest in this Sublease without first
     obtaining the written consent of the Landlord and Sublessor, which consent
     may or may not be granted by the Landlord or Sublessor in their sole
     opinion, judgment or discretion.

7.   INSURANCE.  Sublessee agrees to cause Sublessor to be named as an
     additional insured and to provide Sublessor with proof of insurance on
     request.

8.   SEPARATE INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES.  The parties expressly agree that this
     Sublease shall not create nor be construed to create an employer/employee,
     principal/agent, shareholder, or partnership relationship.  It is further
     understood that no party has control over, or any influence upon any of the
     other parties or the employees and agents of the other parties with respect
     to the manner in which such parties carry on their respective businesses.
     Each party agrees to conduct its separate business and agrees further not
     to give, or authorize any third party to give, any person or entity the
     express or implied understanding that it is associated or connected with
     the other parties in any fashion except as provided in this Sublease.

9.   DEFAULT.  The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by
     Sublessee under this Sublease: any events of default by Sublessee, listed
     as events of default by Tenant set forth in the Main Lease, or any default
     in the provisions of this Sublease.  Upon the occurrence of any such events
     of default, and in addition to any other available remedies provided by law
     or in equity, Sublessor shall have all remedies granted to Landlord in the
     Main Lease.

10.  BROKERS.  Sublessor and Sublessee warrant and represent to each other that
     no brokers are entitled to receive a commission in connection with this
     Sublease.  Each party hereto hereby indemnifies and holds the other party
