California-Carpinteria-6450 Via Real Sublease - QAD Inc. and ValueClick 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.

         Sublease, Sublessee does hereby expressly assume and agree to perform

         Sublessor's interest in this Sublease, subject however to the
         provisions of Paragraph 8.2 hereof.

8.2      Master Lessor, by executing this document, agrees that until a Default
         shall occur in the performance of Sublessor's obligations under the
         Master Lease, that Sublessor may receive, collect and enjoy the Rent
         accruing under this Sublease. However, if Sublessor shall Default in
         the performance of its obligations to Master Lessor then Master Lessor
         may, at its option, receive and collect, directly from Sublessee, all
         Rent owing and to be owed under this Sublease. Master Lessor shall not,
         by reason of this assignment of the Sublease not by reason of the
         collection of the Rent from the Sublessee, be deemed liable to
         Sublessee for any failure of the Sublessor to perform and comply with
         Sublessor's Remaining Obligations.

8.3      Sublessor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Sublessee upon
         receipt of any written notice from the Master Lessor stating that a
         Default exists in the performance of Sublessor's obligations under the
         Master Lease, to pay to Master Lessor the Rent due and to become due
         under the Sublease. Sublessor agrees that Sublessee shall have the
         right to rely upon any such statement and request from mater Lessor,
         and that Sublessee shall pay such Rent to Master Lessor without any
         obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Default exists and
         notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Sublessor to the contrary
         and Sublessor shall have no right or claim against Sublessee for any
         such Rent so paid by Sublessee.

8.4      No changes or modifications shall be made to this Sublease without
         the consent of Master Lessor.

9.   CONSENT OF MASTER LESSOR.

9.1      In the event that the Master Lease requires that Sublessor obtain the
         consent of Master Lessor to any subletting by Sublessor then, this
         Sublease shall not be effective unless, within then days of the date
         hereof, master Lessor signs this Sublease thereby giving its consent to
         this Subletting.

9.2      In the event that the obligations of the Sublessor under the Master
         Lease have been guaranteed by third parties then neither this Sublease,
         nor the Master Lessor's consent, shall be effective unless, within 10
         days of the date hereof, said guarantors sign this Sublease thereby
         giving their consent to this sublease.

9.3      In the event that Master Lessor does give such consent then:
         (a)  Such consent shall not release Sublessor of its obligations or
              alter the primary liability of Sublessor to pay the Rent and
              perform and comply with all the obligations of Sublessor to be
              performed under the Master Lease.
         (b)  The acceptance of Rent by Master Lessor from Sublessee or
              anyone else liable under the master Lease shall not be deemed a
              waiver by Master Lessor of any provisions of the Master Lease.
         (c)  The consent to this Sublease shall not constitute a consent to
              any subsequent subletting or assignment.
         (d)  In the event of any Default of Sublessor under the Master Lease,
              Master Lessor may proceed directly against Sublessor, any
              guarantors or anyone else liable under the Master Lease or this
              Sublease without first exhausting Master Lessor's remedies against
              any other person or entity liable thereon to Master Lessor.
         (e)  Master lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and
              assignments of the Master Lease or this Sublease or any amendments
              or modifications thereto without notifying Sublessor or any one
              else liable under the Master Lease and without obtaining their
              consent and such action shall not relieve such persons from
              liability.
         (f)  In the event that Sublessor shall Default in its obligations under
              the Master Lease, then Master Lessor, at its option and without
              being obligated to do so, may require Sublessee to attorn to
              Master Lessor in which event Master Lessor shall undertake the
              obligations of Sublessor under

<PAGE>

              this Sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to
              termination of this Sublease but Master Lessor shall not be
              liable for any prepaid Rent nor any Security deposit paid by
              Sublessee, not shall Master Lessor be liable for any other
              Defaults of the Sublessor under the Sublease.

9.4      The signatures of the Master Lessor and any Guarantors of Sublessor
         at the end of this document shall constitute their consent to the
         terms of the Sublease.

9.5      Master Lessor acknowledges that, to the best of Master Lessor's
         knowledge, no Default presently exists under the Master Lease of
         obligations to be performed by Sublessor and that the Master Lease is
         in full force and effect.

9.6      In the event that Sublessor Defaults under its obligations to be
         performed under the Master Lease by Sublessor, Master Lessor agrees to
         deliver to Sublessee a copy of any such notice of default. Sublessee
         shall have the right to cure any Default of Sublessor described in any
         notice of default within ten days after service of such notice of
         default on Sublessee. If such Default is cured by Sublessee then
         Sublessee shall have the right of reimbursement and offset from and
         against Sublessor.

                    to Master Lessor under the Master Lease. Sublessee's
                    prorata share of such amounts shall be determined by
                    Sublessor in its reasonable discretion based upon the
                    size of the Premises hereunder relative to the Premises
