Sample Business Contracts


Illinois-Chicago-680 North Lake Shore Drive Lease [Amendment No. 3] - American National Bank and Trust Co. of Chicago and Playboy Enterprises Inc.

Lease Forms

  • Start a state-specific lease for the rental of commercial property. Specify the term and rent due, as well as whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs.
  • 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.

     (b)   With respect to any lease which Lessor hereafter intends to

or any portion of the ROFR Space), Lessor shall give Lessee written notice of
such intent ("Lessor's Notice") prior to Lessor entering into any such lease. In

(vi) the tenant concessions (e.g., rent abatements and tenant improvement

lease all, but not less than all, of the portion of a ROFR Space described in
said Lessor's Notice, subject to the following terms and conditions:

     such Refusal Right;

          (2) Lessee submits current audited financial statements of Lessee to
     Lessor concurrently with Lessee's Notice exercising the Refusal Rights and
     such financial statements are approved in writing by Lessor;

          (3) Lessee is not in default under the Lease, as hereby amended,
     either on the date Lessee exercises such Refusal Right or, unless waived in

          (4) No other tenant in the Building has exercised a right to lease the
     ROFR Space as specified in the applicable Lessor's Notice, which right
     exists in favor of such tenant as of the date of execution of this
     Amendment.

In the event that Lessee does not timely or properly exercise any Refusal Right,
Lessor may at any time thereafter lease the applicable portion of a ROFR Space
to any third-party tenant on such terms and provisions as Lessor may elect
without any further rights of Lessee to lease such space, until Lessor fails to
consummate a lease for such space or such third-party has vacated such space and
such space is again available for leasing by a third-party.

     (c) If Lessee exercises a Refusal Right, the following terms and provisions
shall apply:

          (1) Lessor shall lease the applicable portion of the ROFR Space to
     Lessee for a lease term commencing on the availability date specified in
     the applicable Lessor's Notice and expiring on the Expiration Date of the
     Term of the Lease;

          (2) The base rent and rental adjustments payable for the applicable
     portion of the ROFR Space shall be as set forth in the applicable Lessor's
     Notice. For purposes of paying such adjustments, Lessee's Proportionate
     Share shall be increased effective as of the commencement date of the lease
     term for the applicable portion of the ROFR Space by the percentage
     determined by dividing the rentable area of

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

     such portion of the ROFR Space by 424,052.32 rentable square feet;

          (3) Lessee shall not be entitled to any rental abatement for such
     portion of the ROFR Space except as otherwise set forth in the applicable
     Lessor's Notice;

          (4) Lessee shall accept the applicable portion of the ROFR Space in an
     "as-is", "where-is" physical condition from Lessor, without any agreement,
     representation, credit or allowance from Lessor with respect to the
     improvement or condition thereof, except as otherwise set forth in the
     applicable Lessor's Notice; and

          (5) All of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall apply with
     respect to the applicable portion of the ROFR Space, except as otherwise
     provided in this Paragraph 3 or except as same may be inconsistent with the
     provisions of this Paragraph 3.

     (d) If Lessee exercises a Refusal Right, Lessor and Lessee shall execute
and deliver an amendment of the Lease reflecting the lease of the applicable
portion of a ROFR Space by Lessor to Lessee on the terms and provisions set
forth in this Paragraph 3, which amendment shall be executed and delivered
within thirty (30) days after Lessee exercises the Refusal Right.

     (e) The Refusal Right shall automatically terminate and become null and
void upon the earlier to occur of (1) the expiration or termination of the
Lease, (2) the termination of Lessee's right to possession of the Premises, (3)
the assignment of the Lease by Lessee, in whole or in part, (4) the sublease by
Lessee of the Premises, or any part thereof, or (5) the failure of Lessee to
timely or properly exercise a Refusal Right.

     4. Extension Option. The provisions of Section 38 of the Original Lease
shall apply to the Option Space if leased by Lessee pursuant to the terms of
this Amendment.

     5. Termination Option.

     (a) The provisions, as hereby amended, of Section 43 of the Original Lease
shall apply to the Option Space if leased by Lessee pursuant to the terms of
this Amendment.

     (b) Section 43A of the Original Lease is hereby amended to delete the date
"August 31, 1994" from the first sentence thereof.

     6. Available Space. Effective as of the date hereof, Landlord hereby agrees
to present to Tenant every six (6) months a list containing a summary of the
available unleased office

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

space in the Office Area; provided that delivery of said summary by Landlord
shall not obligate Landlord to lease any such office space to Tenant.

     7. Broker. Lessee represents to Lessor that Lessee has not dealt with any
real estate broker, salesperson or finder in connection with this Amendment
other than Golub & Company (the "Broker"), and no other such person initiated or
participated in the negotiation of this Amendment or is entitled to any
commission in connection herewith. Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold Lessor, its property manager and their respective employees harmless from
and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, actions, damages, costs
and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from a claim for a fee or
commission made by any broker (other than the Broker), claiming to have acted by
or on behalf of Lessee in connection with this Amendment.

     8. Submission. Submission of this Amendment by Lessor or Lessor's agent, or
their respective agents or representatives, to Lessee for examination and/or
execution shall not in any manner bind Lessor and no obligations on Lessor shall
arise under this Amendment unless and until this Amendment is fully signed and
delivered by Lessor and Lessee; provided, however, the execution and delivery by
Lessee of this Amendment to Lessor or Lessor's agent, or their respective agents
or representatives, shall constitute an irrevocable offer by Lessee on the terms
and conditions herein contained, which offer may not be revoked for fifteen (15)
days after such delivery.

     9. Effect of Amendment. As amended by this Amendment, the Lease shall
remain in full force and effect.

not individually, but solely as Trustee under Trust Agreement dated May 2, 1989
and known as Trust No. 108237-06 (herein called the "Lessor") and PLAYBOY
ENTERPRISES, INC., a Delaware corporation (herein called the "Lessee").
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the
Lease (defined below) unless expressly defined herein or the context clearly
indicates to the contrary.


                                  WITNESSETH:
                                  ----------

     Lessor is the owner of a certain mixed used building located in Cook
County, Illinois, of which one or more of four components as are legally
described in Exhibit A attached hereto may be affected by this Memorandum. The
components are defined in Exhibit A as the Office Parcel, the Lot 1 Parcel, the
Skylight Parcel and the Garage Parcel.

     The building containing the four components is now commonly known as 680
North Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois.

     Lessor has leased to Lessee a portion of the Office Parcel consisting of
the entire fifteenth (15th) and sixteenth (16th) floors (the "Premises")
together with certain rights and privileges with respect to the Skylight Parcel,
the Garage Parcel and the Lot 1 Parcel for the Term and upon and subject to the
covenants, provisions and conditions contained in that certain Office Lease
dated April 7, 1988 entered into between the parties hereto (the "Lease") and as
such document has been amended by that certain Amendment dated October 26, 1989,
June 1, 1992 and August 30, 1993 (the "Amendments") between Lessor and Lessee.
The Amendments and all of their respective covenants, provisions and conditions
are by this reference expressly incorporated herein and made a part of this
Memorandum of Amendment and all shall take notice thereof whether or not
hereinafter more particularly described. The Amendments' covenants and
provisions affecting all Parcels are binding on the Lessor and its successors
and assigns as owners of any said Parcels.

     Without limitation, it is hereby disclosed that the Third Amendment
includes terms and provisions which (among other things) (a) provided that
Lessor grants to Lessee certain expansion rights and rights of first refusal on
certain office space on the 14th floor of the Building, and (b) contemplate that

<PAGE>

the existence of this Third Amendment be disclosed and reference made to its
terms and provisions by means of this Memorandum.

     Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as its attorney-in-fact to record a Release
of this Memorandum executed by Lessor for itself and on Lessee's behalf, upon
the occurrence of any one of the following:

          1. Expiration of the Lease at either August 31, 2004 or August 31,
     2009 or otherwise according to its terms; or

          2. Issuance of a nonappealable final order of any court with
     jurisdiction over the Premises granting possession of the Premises to
     Lessor; or

          3. Ninety (90) days after written notice from Lessor to Lessee that
     Lessor intends to record such Release, because Lessee has voluntarily
     abandoned the Premises, it being acknowledged that for the purposes of this
     paragraph "abandoned" does not include an approved subletting or
     assignment.

     In addition, Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as its attorney-in-fact to
record a Release of this Memorandum as to the Garage Parcel in the event Lessor
or its successors or assigns exercises its option under the Lease to purchase
such parking rights from Lessee.

     This Memorandum and the Third Amendment are expressly subject to an
subordinate to the Easements (as defined in the Lease) and to any and all
mortgages now or hereafter encumbering the Office Parcel, and Lot 1 Parcel, the
Garage Parcel or the Skylight Parcel.

     Lessor and Lessee have entered into this Memorandum of Third Amendment in
order that third parties may have notice of the existence of the Amendment and
some of its specific provisions. This Memorandum of Amendment is not intended to
amend, modify or otherwise change the terms and conditions of the Lease or the
Third Amendment nor shall provisions of this Memorandum of Third Amendment be
used in interpreting the provisions of the Lease or the Third Amendment. In the
event of a conflict between this Memorandum of Third Amendment and the Third
Amendment, the Third Amendment shall control.
