  • Commercial Lease. 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.
  • Commercial Sublease. 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.

  • Sublease Agreement. 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 Lease. 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.
  • Office Space Lease. 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.

                                    RECITALS

         This Agreement is entered into upon the basis of the following facts,
understandings and intentions of the parties:

lease to Handspring, and Handspring agreed to lease from M-F Downtown, all of

irrevocable, transferable letter of credit (the "Building 2 Security Deposit
Letter of Credit") in the amount of Nine Million Five Hundred Fifty-Seven
Thousand Dollars ($9,557,000).

         F.       In connection with the Building 2 Lease, M-F Downtown and
Handspring entered into that certain Work Letter (Building 2) (as the same has
been amended by the parties prior to the date hereof, the "Building 2 Work

Downtown an unconditional, irrevocable, transferable letter of credit (the
"Building 2 TI Letter of Credit") in the amount of Nine Million Two Hundred
Eighty-Four Thousand Dollars ($9,284,000).

         G.       As contemplated by the Building 2 Lease and the Building 3
Lease (collectively, the "Leases") and by the Building 2 Work Letter and the
Building 3 Work Letter (collectively, the "Work Letters"), Bank of America,
N.A., as administrative agent for M-F Downtown's construction lenders
(collectively, the "Construction Lenders") (Bank of America, N.A., acting in
such capacity being referred to herein as ("Bank of America"), has become the
beneficiary under the Building 2 Security Deposit Letter of Credit and the
Building 3 Security Deposit Letter of Credit (collectively, the "Security
Deposit Letters of Credit") and under the Building 2 TI Letter of Credit and the
Building 3 TI Letter of Credit (collectively, the "TI Letters of Credit" and,
together with the Security Deposit Letters of Credit, the "Letters of Credit").
Neither the Building 2 Security Deposit Letter of Credit nor the Building 3
Security Deposit Letter of Credit has been drawn upon by M-F Downtown or Bank of
America. In accordance with the terms of the Building 2 Work Letter, the
principal amount of the Building 2 TI Letter of Credit has been reduced to Six
Million Seven Hundred Twenty Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty-Eight and 80/100
Dollars ($6,720,858.80), and in accordance with the terms of the Building 3 Work
Letter, the principal amount of the Building 3 TI Letter of Credit has been
reduced to Ten Million Three Hundred Twenty-Eight Thousand One Hundred
Twenty-Four and 23/100 Dollars ($10,328,124.23); neither of the TI Letters of
Credit have been drawn upon by M-F Downtown or Bank of America.

         H.       Handspring has caused Handspring Facility Company, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("HFC"), to be formed pursuant to the
Operating Agreement for HFC (the "HFC Operating Agreement") attached hereto as
Exhibit C. Handspring is the sole member of HFC and, at or before the Closing
(hereinafter defined), will acquire all of the authorized membership units in
HFC in exchange for the contributions described in Section 1.

         I.       In light of the current business cycle and the local market
for commercial real estate leasing and sub-leasing, Handspring has requested
that M-F Downtown provide Handspring with significant economic relief under the
terms of the Buildings 2 Lease and the Building 3 Lease (collectively, the
"Leases"). On careful analysis, Handspring has concluded that if the parties can
agree on terms for modifying the Leases, Handspring will benefit both as to

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
the immediately quantifiable economic relief bargained for and as to the
opportunity afforded Handspring to thereby continue its business.

         J.       In light of the current business cycle and the local market
for commercial real estate leases and sub-leasing, M-F Downtown is willing to
enter into a material restructuring of the Leases, but only if the transaction
is economically balanced, fair in fact and on arms' length terms.

         K.       The parties have agreed to co-operate in the form of a unified
transaction involving the restructuring of the Leases in a manner which includes
the sale of Building 3 by M-F Downtown in order to provide Handspring with the
requested economic relief, to minimize financial loss to the parties, and to
adopt a single, integrated structure that will enable Handspring to perform its
modified obligations to M-F Downtown, while minimizing the risk to M-F Downtown
should Handspring subsequently be unwilling or unable to so perform.

         NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the covenants and promises of the
parties, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

         1.       Contributions by Handspring to HFC. Prior to the Closing

purchased for incorporation therein, all warranties relating to the Buildings,
and the right to permit the use of the proceeds of Security Deposit Letters of
Credit and the TI Letters of Credit for the purposes provided for herein. In
addition, pursuant to the terms of the HFC Operating Agreement, Handspring

Lease. Notwithstanding any provision of the Building 2 Lease to the contrary,
Handspring shall surrender possession of Building 2, and M-F Downtown shall
accept possession of Building 2 in its existing condition, "As Is, Where Is,

property taxes or assessments. M-F Downtown shall indemnify, hold harmless and
defend Handspring and HFC from any and all transfer taxes or property taxes due
in connection with the sale or conveyance of Building 3, and any and all

         19.      Risk of Loss. If before the Close of Escrow, Building 3 is
damaged by a fire or other casualty, except as hereinafter provided, M-F
Downtown shall remain obligated to sell and convey Building 3 to HFC, and HFC

herein. HFC and M-F Downtown shall proceed, notwithstanding such damage, to the
Close of Escrow pursuant to the terms hereof, without modification of the terms
of this Agreement and without any reduction in the Purchase Price, and M-F
Downtown shall receive and retain all insurance proceeds payable on account of
such casualty. Following the Close of Escrow, M-F Downtown shall repair such
damage in accordance with the terms and provisions of, and to the extent
provided in, the Building 3 Lease.

         20.      Mutual Release.

agreements, including without limitation the Building 2 Lease, the Building 3

         21.      Additional Terms and Conditions.

                  (a)      Brokerage Commissions. Except as otherwise provided
in the Building 3 Lease Amendment, M-F Downtown agrees to and does hereby
indemnify and hold harmless HFC and Handspring from and against all costs,

Agreement is to be performed shall be determined by excluding the day upon which
the event occurs from whence the time commences. If the last day upon which
performance would otherwise be required or permitted is a Saturday, Sunday or
holiday, then the time for performance shall be extended to the next day which
is not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday. The term "holiday" shall mean all and only
those holidays: (i) specified in, or determined in accordance with, the
provisions of Sections 6700 and 6701 of the Government Code of the State of
California; (ii) any mandatory federal holidays during which deliveries by the
United States Postal Service are suspended; and, with respect to any act which

in their entirety and are of no further force or effect.

                  (i)      Amendments. This Agreement is not subject to

to the contrary in Section 20(c), invalidation of any provision of this
Agreement, the documents, instruments and other written agreements referred to

and enforcement thereof, shall be governed by the laws of the State of

made and all obligations to be performed under the provisions of this Agreement,
