Free Customizable Lease Forms

  • 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. 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.
  • 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.

                       FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEED OF LEASE

     THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEED OF LEASE ("First Amendment") is made this
22/nd/ day of March, 2001, by and between TRIZECHAHN [*] LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("Landlord"), and EQUINIX, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Tenant").


                              W I T N E S S E T H:

          WHEREAS, by that certain Deed of Lease dated July 1, 2000 (the
"Lease"), Landlord leased to Tenant, and Tenant leased from Landlord,
approximately [*] square feet of rentable area comprising the entire building
located at [*], Ashburn, Virginia, upon the terms and conditions set forth in
the Lease;

          WHEREAS, the Base Rent Per Square Foot Per Annum upon which the
parties agreed is correctly set forth in Section 4.A. of the Lease, but the Base
Rent Per Annum and Monthly Base Rent which are based upon such Base Rent Per
Square Foot Per Annum were incorrectly stated therein, because during the course
of negotiation of the Lease the square footage of the Premises changed, and,
while the Base Rent Per Square Foot Per Annum did not change and has always
reflected the agreement of the parties, the computation of the Base Rent on an
annual and monthly basis did not reflect the change in square footage of the
Premises,

Per Square Foot Per Annum set forth in said Section 4.A., on the one hand, and
the Base Rent Per Annum and Monthly Base Rent set forth in said Section 4.A., on

correct the aforesaid discrepancy, as more particularly set forth herein.

          NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises herein
contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto mutually agree
as follows:
