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.

2.       Sublandlord is the tenant under the Master Lease. Sublandlord and
         Subtenant wish to enter into a sublease of the Subleased Premises on
         the terms and conditions set forth herein.


ARTICLE II: Agreements

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.       SUBLEASED PREMISES

         Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant, on the terms and conditions
         set forth in this Sublease, the Subleased Premises. Sublandlord shall
         deliver the Subleased Premises to Subtenant on the Sublease
         Commencement Date with all building systems serving the Premises in
         good working condition, broom clean, but otherwise in such "AS IS,
         WHERE IS" condition as exists as of the date of this Sublease, free of
         all occupants other than Subtenant. Subtenant acknowledges that
         Sublandlord has made no other representations or warranties concerning
         the Subleased Premises or the Building or their fitness for Subtenant's
         purposes, except as expressly set forth in this Sublease. The taking of
         possession of the Subleased Premises shall be deemed Subtenant's
         acknowledgement that the same have been delivered in a good and
         tenantable condition. Sublandlord agrees that Subtenant shall have
         access to the Sublease Premises prior to the Sublease Commencement
         Date, beginning at 5 p.m. on January 29, 2002 to and including March
         31, 2002, to make Subtenant Improvements, including telephone and cable
         work. Sublandlord represents that all improvements, additions,
         alterations and other work done by it to the Sublease Premises was done
         with the Master Landlord's consent and with all necessary permits and
         approvals.

                                       3
<PAGE>
2.       SUBLEASE TERM

         The term of this Sublease shall commence on the Commencement Date and
         continue for the Sublease Term unless terminated prior to such date
         pursuant to the terms hereof or pursuant to law. Promptly following the
         actual Commencement Date and upon request of Sublandlord, Sublandlord
         and Subtenant shall jointly execute a written declaration specifying
         the actual Commencement Date.

3.       RENT

         Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord the Monthly Base Rent (pro rated in
         the case of any partial calendar month at the beginning or end of the
         Term, based upon the actual number of days in the month), without
         deduction, offset, notice, or demand, at Sublandlord's Address, or at
         such other place as Sublandlord shall designate from time to time by
         notice to Subtenant. Monthly Base Rent shall be paid for each calendar
         month occurring during the term in advance two (2) business days prior
         to the first day of the calendar month to which such Monthly Base Rent
         is attributable, provided that the installment of Monthly Base Rent for
         the second full calendar month of the Sublease Term shall be payable
         upon the execution of this Sublease by Subtenant. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, the Monthly Base Rent for April, 2002, February, 2003,
         March, 2003 and March, 2004 shall be abated. In addition, should more
         than 20 days elapse between Subtenant's application for a building
         permit for Subtenant's initial alterations and improvements and the
         date of issuance of the permit, and should such delay result in the
         Subleased Premises not being ready for occupancy by April 1, 2002
         because of such delay in issuing the building permit, then Subtenant
         shall be entitled to one day without Monthly Base Rent starting on
         April 1, 2002 for every two days of such delay up to a maximum of seven
         days of free rent.

         All charges, costs, expenses and sums required to be paid or borne by
         Subtenant under this Sublease in addition to Base Rent shall be deemed
         "Additional Rent," and Base Rent and Additional Rent shall hereinafter
         collectively be referred to as "Rent." Subtenant's covenant to pay Rent
         shall be independent of every other covenant in this Sublease.

         The Monthly Base Rent for the fourth year of the term commencing on
         April 1, 2005 shall be adjusted to the then Fair Market Base Rental as
         defined in Section 38(a) of the Master Lease; provided, however, if
         Fair Market Base Rental is $2.25 per RSF or less, the Monthly Base Rent
         shall remain at $2.25 per RSF for the fourth year of the Term (i.e.,
         the twelve month period commencing on April 1, 2005). Approximately 30
         days prior to the commencement of such lease year, Landlord and Tenant
         shall endeavor to agree upon the Fair Market Base Rental. If they are
         unable to do so within such 30 days period, the Fair Market Base Rental
         shall be determined by three commercial real estate brokers - one
         selected by Sublandlord, one by Subtenant and one by the two brokers so
         selected. The Fair Market Base Rental shall be the average of the two
         closest amounts

                                       4
<PAGE>
         determined by the brokers. The brokers shall make their determination
         within 30 days of the selection of the third broker and any rent
         adjustment shall be retroactive to April 1, 2005. Each party shall pay
         the fee of the broker which it selected and one half of the fee of the
         third.

         On April 1, 2006 and April 1, 2007, the Monthly Base Rent for the
         succeeding year shall be increased (but not decreased) in accordance
         with the change in the cost of living according to the provision of
         Section 35 of the Master Lease with appropriate adjustment to the terms
         of that section to correspond to the dates and time periods set forth
         in this paragraph.

         At no time shall the Monthly Base Rent exceed that charged to
         Sublandlord under the Master Lease.

4.       EXPENSES AND TAXES

         In addition to Monthly Base Rent Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord the
         Pro Rata share of all Expenses and Taxes (as those terms are defined in
         the Master Lease), and all other additional rent and other charges,
         however described, payable under the Master Lease by Sublandlord with
         respect to the Subleased Premises; provided, however, Sublandlord's
         Base Year for determining such Expenses and Taxes is 1998 and
         Subtenant's Base Year is 2002. Subtenant shall pay such amount with its
         next installment of Monthly Base Rent (or the following installment of
         Monthly Base Rent if Subtenant has not had at least ten (10) days
         notice of the additional rent charge. Sublandlord shall provide
         Subtenant with copies of Master Landlord's statement as to Expenses and
         Taxes. With respect to any portion of the Sublease Term not ending on
         the last day of a calendar year or fiscal year, the amount of the
         Expenses and/or the Taxes payable to Subtenant shall be pro rated based
         on a 365 day year. Upon written request of Sublandlord, Subtenant shall
         make monthly payments equal to one-twelfth of Sublandlord's estimate of
         the Expenses and Taxes that will be payable for the current year. Such
         payments shall be made monthly in advance together with the payments of
         the Monthly Base Rent due hereunder. Any surplus shall be promptly
         refunded to Subtenant and any deficiency shall be promptly paid by
         Subtenant to Sublandlord once actual Expenses and Taxes for the
         applicable period are finally determined.

5.       INSURANCE/WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND SUBROGATION

                  (a) During the Sublease Term, Subtenant shall maintain
                  insurance of such types, in such policies, with such
                  endorsements and coverages, in such amounts as are set forth
                  in the Master Lease. All insurance policies shall name Master
                  Landlord and Sublandlord as additional insured and loss payees
                  and shall contain an endorsement that such policies may not be
                  modified or canceled without thirty (30) days prior written
                  notice to Master Landlord and Sublandlord. Subtenant shall
                  promptly pay all insurance premiums and shall provide
                  Sublandlord with policies or certificates that are acceptable
                  to Sublandlord and Master Landlord

                                       5
<PAGE>
                  evidencing such insurance upon Subtenant's execution of this
                  Sublease.

                  (b) In the event Subtenant sustains a loss by reason of fire
                  or other casualty that is covered by its property insurance
                  policy (or would have been covered had Subtenant carried the
                  insurance required hereunder), and regardless of whether such
                  fire or other casualty is caused in whole or in part by the
                  acts or omissions of Sublandlord or Master Landlord or their
                  agents, servants, employees or invitees, then Subtenant agrees
                  to look first to the coverage provided by its insurance
                  proceeds, and Subtenant shall have no right of action against
                  Sublandlord, Master Landlord, or their agents, servants,
                  employees or invitees, and no third party shall have any right
                  by way of assignment, subrogation or otherwise against the
                  party causing such loss; provided, however, in the event of
                  such claims against Sublandlord, the foregoing release of
                  claims shall only apply to the extent of insurance proceeds
                  actually collected by such party (unless such party failed to
                  maintain the coverage required hereunder, in which event it
                  shall be deemed to have recovered the entire policy amount
                  required hereunder). In the event Sublandlord sustains a loss
                  by reason of fire or other casualty that is covered by its
                  property insurance policy, and regardless of whether such fire
                  or other casualty is caused in whole or in party by the acts
                  or omissions of Subtenant or its agents, servants, employees
                  or invitees, then Sublandlord agrees to look first to the
                  coverage provided by its insurance proceeds, and it shall have
                  no right of actions against Subtenant or its agents, servants,
                  employees or invitees, and no third party shall have any right
                  by way of assignment, subrogation or otherwise against
                  Subtenant; provided, however, the foregoing release of claims
                  shall only apply to the extent of insurance proceeds actually
                  collected by Sublandlord (unless Sublandlord failed to
                  maintain the coverage required hereunder, in which event it
                  shall be deemed to have recovered the entire policy amount
                  required hereunder.) The parties hereto agree that each of
                  their policies of property insurance shall include a waiver of
                  subrogation to effectuate this provision.

                  (a) Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord, concurrently with
                  Subtenant's execution of this Lease, an unconditional, clean,
                  irrevocable standby letter of credit (the "L-C") in the
                  initial amount of the Security Deposit Amount (the "Security
                  Deposit"), which L-C shall be issued by a money-center bank
                  that is acceptable to Sublandlord, and which L-C may be
                  presented for payment in a U.S. location acceptable to
                  Sublandlord. The L-C shall be in form and content as attached
                  hereto as Exhibit C for a term of not less than one year.
                  Subtenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred
                  by Subtenant in obtaining the L-C.

                  (b) The L-C shall be held by Sublandlord as security for the
                  faithful performance by Subtenant of all the terms, covenants,
                  and conditions of

                                       6
<PAGE>
                  this Sublease to be kept and performed by Subtenant during the
                  Sublease Term. If Subtenant defaults with respect to any
                  provisions of this Sublease, including, but not limited to,
                  the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, or if
                  Subtenant fails to renew the L-C at least thirty (30) days
                  before its expiration, Sublandlord may, but shall not be
                  required to, draw upon all or any portion of the L-C for
                  payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or for the
                  payment of any amount that Sublandlord may spend or may become
                  obligated to spend by reason of Subtenant's default; or to
                  compensate Sublandlord for any other loss, cost or damage that
                  Sublandlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant's default. The
                  use, application or retention of the L-C, or any portion
                  thereof, by Sublandlord shall not prevent Sublandlord from
                  exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Sublease
                  or by law, it being intended that Sublandlord shall not first
                  be required to proceed against the L-C, and shall not operate
                  as a limitation on any recovery to which Sublandlord may
                  otherwise be entitled. If any portion of the L-C is drawn
                  upon, Subtenant shall, within ten (10) days after written
                  demand therefor, reinstate the L-C to the amount then required
                  under this Lease, and Subtenant's failure to do so shall be a
                  default under this Sublease. The L-C or the balance remaining
                  if it has been drawn upon by Sublandlord as herein provided,
                  shall be returned to Subtenant within ten (10) days following
                  the later of the expiration of the Sublease Term or the
                  vacating of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant.

7.       USE OF PREMISES

         Subtenant shall use and occupy the Subleased Premises only for the
         Permitted Uses, and only to the extent permitted by the Master Lease
         and all laws governing or affecting Subtenant's use of the Subleased
         Premises.

8.       PROVISION OF SERVICES

         No services are currently included in Monthly Base Rent or Expenses
         except for those provided by Master Landlord to Sublandlord under the
         Master Lease. If Sublandlord furnishes the Subleased Premises or
         Subtenant with any additional services upon request of Subtenant,
         Sublandlord shall charge Subtenant a reasonable charge therefor, and
         Subtenant shall pay the additional charge with the next installment of
         Monthly Base Rent (or the following installment of Monthly Base Rent if
         Subtenant has not had at least ten (10) days notice of the additional
         rent charge).

9.       CONDITION OF PREMISES; TRADE FIXTURES

         Subtenant shall have the right to furnish and install any trade
         fixtures that are necessary for the conduct of its business; provided,
         however, that at the termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall
         remove such trade fixtures and restore the Subleased Premises at
         Subtenant's sole cost to the state and condition

                                       7
<PAGE>
         in which they existed on the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear
         excepted. If Subtenant fails to comply with the provisions of the
         Master Lease, Sublandlord may make such repairs or restoration, and the
         reasonable cost thereof shall be additional rent payable by Subtenant
         on demand. All trade fixtures shall be and remain the property of
         Subtenant, provided that any such trade fixtures remaining on the
         Premises after the expiration or termination of the term hereof shall
         be deemed abandoned by Subtenant and shall, at Sublandlord's option,
         become the property of Sublandlord without payment therefor.

10.      ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS

         Sublandlord shall have no obligation to make any alterations or
         improvements to the Premises for Subtenant's use or occupancy thereof;
         however, Sublandlord shall reimburse Subtenant for up to $150,000.00 of
         actual paid invoices reflecting alterations or improvements made by
         Subtenant to the Subleased Premises on or before August 31, 2002. In
         addition, Sublandlord shall cooperate with Subtenant to assist in
         Subtenant's reuse of Sublandlord's network cabling and in resolving any
         questions regarding the compliance of the Subleased Premises with
         applicable life safety codes. Notwithstanding any provisions of the
         Master Lease to the contrary, Subtenant shall not make any alterations,
         additions, improvements or installments in the Subleased Premises
         without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of both
         Master Landlord and Sublandlord, which consent shall not be
         unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Sublandlord hereby
         consents to Subtenant's initial proposed alterations, additions and
         improvements shown on Exhibit D. If Sublandlord and Master Landlord
         consent to any such alterations, improvements or installations,
         Subtenant shall perform and complete such alterations, improvements and
         installations at its expense, in compliance with applicable laws and
         the Master Lease. If Subtenant performs any alterations, improvements
         or installations without obtaining the prior written consent of both
         Master Landlord and Sublandlord, Sublandlord (or Master Landlord) may
         remove such alterations, improvements or installations, restore the
         Subleased Premises and repair any damage arising from such removal or
         restoration, and Subtenant shall be liable for all costs and expenses
         incurred in the performance of such removal, repairs or restoration. At
         the Master Landlord's option, all alterations, additions and
         improvements (except trade fixtures) shall be and remain the property
         of the Master Landlord upon installation and shall be surrendered to
         the Master Landlord upon the termination of this Sublease, or (if the
         Master Landlord has so advised Subtenant at the time it consented to
         such alterations, additions or improvements) shall be removed by
         Subtenant and the Premises restored to their condition on the
         Commencement Date. If the Master Landlord requires such removal and
         restoration and Subtenant fails to comply with such requirement,
         Sublandlord may undertake such removal and restoration and Subtenant
         shall be liable to Sublandlord for all costs and expenses incurred by
         the Sublandlord in connection therewith.

                                       8
<PAGE>
         This Sublease shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the
         terms and provisions of the Master Lease. Except for the Excluded
         Sections of the Master Lease and except as otherwise set forth in this
         Sublease, all of the terms and conditions contained in the Master Lease
         are hereby incorporated herein by this reference as terms and
         conditions of this Sublease, except that references in the Master Lease
         to the terms listed in Column A below shall be deemed to be references
         to the terms set forth in this Sublease listed in the same row in
         Column B below:

              Premises                           Subleased Premises

          Commencement Date                  Sublease Commencement Date


         References within the first two (2) sentences of Master Lease Section
         21.1 to "Landlord" shall, however, be construed to refer solely to
         Master Landlord, and such references in the remainder of said Section
         shall be deemed to refer to both Master Landlord and Sublandlord.

         Subtenant shall not cause a default under the Master Lease and shall
         use reasonable efforts to prevent its employees, agents, contractors or
         invitees from causing a default under the Master Lease.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease, Sublandlord, as
         sublandlord under this Sublease, shall have the benefit of all rights,
         waivers, remedies and limitations of liability enjoyed by Master
         Landlord, as the landlord under the Master Lease, but (i) Sublandlord
         shall have no obligation under this Sublease to perform the obligations
         of Master Landlord, as landlord under the Master Lease, including,
         without limitation, any obligation to provide services or maintain
         insurance; (ii) Sublandlord shall not be bound by any representations
         or warranties of the Master Landlord under the Master Lease; (iii) in
         any instance where the consent of Master Landlord, as the landlord
         under the Master Lease, is required under the terms of the Master
         Lease, the consent of Sublandlord and

                                       9
<PAGE>
         Master Landlord shall be required; (iv) Sublandlord shall not be liable
         to Subtenant for any failure or delay in Master Landlord's performance
         of its obligations, as landlord under the Master Lease.

         Upon the default by Subtenant in the full and timely payment and
         performance of its obligations under the Sublease, Sublandlord may
         exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to Master Landlord by
         the Master Lease with respect to default by the Tenant under the Master
         Lease. In the event that Subtenant breaches any of the terms,
         conditions or covenants of this Sublease or of the Master Lease and
         fails to remedy such breach within twenty (20) days after written
         notice, Sublandlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
         cure such breach and charge Subtenant for the costs incurred thereby,
         which costs Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord upon demand. Subtenant
         shall not commit or suffer any act or omission that will violate any of
         the provisions of the Master Lease. If the Master Lease terminates for
         any reason, this Sublease shall terminate and the parties shall be
         relieved of any further liability or obligation under this Sublease;
         provided, however, that Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord all sums due
         and accrued under this Sublease as of the termination date.

         Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Sublease, (i) in any
         instances where Master Landlord, as landlord under the Lease, has a
         certain period of time in which to notify Sublandlord, as tenant under
         the Master Lease, whether Master Landlord will or will not take any
         particular action, Sublandlord, as landlord under this Sublease, shall
         have an additional five (5) business days after receiving such notice
         in which to notify Subtenant (except in the case of a request by
         Subtenant for consent by Sublandlord to a Transfer, in which event
         Sublandlord shall so notify Subtenant within fifteen (15) days), (ii)
         in any instance where Sublandlord, as tenant under the Master Lease,
         has a certain period of time in which to notify Master Landlord as
         landlord under the Master Lease, Subtenant, as tenant under this
         Sublease will notify both the Master Landlord and Sublandlord within
         the time prescribed in the Master Lease, (iii) in any instance where a
         specific grace period is granted to Sublandlord, as tenant under the
         Master Lease, before Sublandlord is considered in default under the
         Master Lease, Subtenant, as tenant under this Sublease, shall be deemed
         to have a grace period that is three (3) days less than Sublandlord had
         before Subtenant is considered in default under this Sublease, but in
         no event shall any grace period be reduced to less than five days
         unless the relevant period under the Master Lease is six (6) days or
         less, in which case the period under this Sublease shall be two (2)
         days less than the period provided to Sublandlord under the Master
         Lease. In no event shall Master Landlord or Sublandlord be liable for
         any consequential damages suffered by Subtenant in connection with any
         breach of this Sublease or otherwise.

12.      ATTORNEYS' FEES; OTHER FEES

         If Sublandlord or Subtenant shall commence an action against the other
         arising out of or in connection with this Sublease, the prevailing
         party shall be entitled to

                                       10
<PAGE>
         recover its costs of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees.

13.      NOTICES OR DEMANDS

         All notices and demands under this Sublease shall be in writing and
         shall be effective (except for notices to Master Landlord, which shall
         be given in accordance with the provisions of the Master Lease) upon
         the earlier of (i) receipt at the Sublandlord's Notice Addresses or the
         Subtenant's Notice Addresses, or the notice address of the Master
         Landlord set forth in the Master Lease, as the case may be, by the
         party being served, or (ii) upon delivery being refused. All such
         notices or demands shall be sent by United States certified mail,
         return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by a nationally
         recognized overnight delivery service that provides tracking and proof
         of receipt. Either party may change its address for notices and demands
         under this Sublease by ten (10) days' notice to the other party.

14.      SIGNAGE

         If approved by the Master Landlord, Subtenant may be listed, at
         Subtenant's sole cost and expense, on the alphabetical directory board
         or other directory device listing tenants in the main lobby of the
         Building. Subtenant may also install, at Subtenant's sole cost and
         expense, a sign of Subtenant's name and standard logo on the main entry
         to the Subleased Premises, subject to Master Landlord's written
         approval, and in compliance with all applicable laws and codes.
         Subtenant shall not place any other sign in or on the Building or the
         Subleased Premises without the prior written consent of Sublandlord and
         Master Landlord. Subtenant acknowledges that it has no rights to any
         monument sign referenced in Section 41 of the Master Lease unless
         Subtenant obtains Master Landlord's approval therefor.

15.      MASTER LANDLORD'S CONSENT

         This Sublease is expressly conditioned upon the receipt of Master
         Landlord's written consent hereto. Subtenant agrees to cooperate with
         Sublandlord in providing such information as is necessary to satisfy
         such condition and to execute all agreements reasonably requested by
         Master Landlord in connection therewith.

16.      CHOICE OF LAW

         This Sublease shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

17.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT

         This Sublease, together with any exhibits and attachments hereto and
         the Master Lease, constitutes the entire agreement between Sublandlord
         and Subtenant relative to the Subleased Premises, and this Sublease and
         the exhibits and attachments may be altered, amended or revoked only by
         an instrument in writing signed by both Sublandlord and Subtenant.
         Sublandlord and Subtenant agree

                                       11
<PAGE>
         hereby that all prior or contemporaneous oral discussions, letters or
         written documents between and among themselves and their agents and
         representatives relative to the subleasing of the Subleased Premises
         are merged in or revoked by this Sublease.

18.      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

         This Sublease shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
         respective heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns of
         the parties hereto; provided, however, that this provision shall not be
         construed to allow an assignment or subletting that is otherwise
         specifically prohibited hereby.

19.      SECTION AND PARAGRAPH HEADINGS

         The section and paragraph headings are included only for the
         convenience of the parties and are not part of this Sublease and shall

         the intent of the parties hereto.

20.      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; AUTHORITY

         Sublandlord and Subtenant each represent and warrant to the other that
         the individual(s) executing and delivering this Sublease on its behalf

         Subtenant and Sublandlord in accordance with its terms. Simultaneously
         with the execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deliver evidence

         Sublandlord represents and warrants that (i) to Sublandlord's actual
         knowledge, Master Landlord is not in material default under the Master
         Lease, nor has any event occurred which, after any applicable notice
         and/or the expiration of any grace period, shall constitute a material
         default by Master Landlord under the Master Lease; and (ii) to
         Sublandlord's actual knowledge, Sublandlord is not in material default
         under the Master Lease, nor has any event occurred which, after any
         applicable notice and/or the expiration of any grace period, shall
         constitute a material default by Sublandlord under the Master Lease.

         warranty has been given by either party, its agents and
         representatives, with respect to the subject matter of this Sublease,

                                       12

         warranty set forth in the previous sentence. Sublandlord shall be
         solely responsible for the payment of the brokerage commission due to
         the Brokers pursuant to a separate written agreement.

22.      NO OFFER

         The submission of this Sublease or some or all of its provisions for
         examination does not constitute an option or an offer to enter into
