  • 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.

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.

deemed to have been given and received on the day it is so delivered at such
address, provided that if such day is not a Business Day such notice or other
communication shall be deemed to have been given and received on the next
following Business Day. Any notice or other communication sent by registered
mail shall be deemed to have been given and received on the third Business Day
following the date of mailing. Any notice or other communication transmitted by
fax, telex or other similar form of electronic communication shall be deemed to

original document in accordance with this section.

8.02 Entire Agreement
     ----------------

     This Sublease, and the Lease, constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Sublease and supersedes all
prior agreements, offers to lease, understandings, negotiations and discussions,
whether oral or written, of the parties. This Sublease may not be modified or
amended except pursuant to an agreement in writing executed by the Sublandlord
and the Subtenant. There are no representations, warranties, covenants,
conditions or other agreements, whether oral or written, express or implied,
forming part of or in any way affecting or relating to this Sublease or the
Subleased Premises except as expressly set out in this Sublease.

8.03 Applicable Law
     --------------

     This Sublease shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable in the Province of Ontario
and shall be treated in all respects as an Ontario contract. Each of the
<PAGE>

                                      -10-

parties irrevocably attorns to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of
Ontario.

8.04 Interpretation
     --------------

     In this Sublease, "herein", "hereof", "hereunder", "hereafter" and similar
expressions refer to this Sublease and not to any particular section, paragraph
or other portion thereof, unless there is something in the subject matter or
context inconsistent therewith. The parties agree that all of the provisions of
this Sublease are to be construed as covenants and agreements as though the
words importing such covenants and agreements were used in each separate
paragraph of this Sublease. In this Sublease the term "however caused" shall
include, without limitation, the negligence of the Sublandlord, its officers,
employees, agents, invitees or other Person for whom it may in law be
responsible.

8.05 Partial Invalidity
     ------------------

     If for any reason whatsoever any term, covenant or condition of this
Sublease, or the application thereof to any Person, firm or corporation or
circumstance, is to any extent held or rendered invalid, unenforceable or
illegal, then such term, covenant or condition:

     (a)  is deemed to be independent of the remainder of the Sublease and to be
          severable and divisible therefrom, and its validity, unenforceability
          or illegality does not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of
          the Sublease or any part thereof; and

     (b)  continues to be applicable to and enforceable to the fullest extent
          permitted by law against any Person and circumstance other than those
          as to which it has been held or rendered invalid, unenforceable or
          illegal.

8.06 Survival of Obligations
     -----------------------

     If either party is in default of any of its obligations under this Sublease
at the time this Sublease expires or is terminated:

     (a)  such party shall remain fully liable for the performance of such
          obligations; and

     (b)  all of the non-defaulting party's rights and remedies in respect of
          such failure shall remain in full force and effect.

In addition, all indemnities of the Subtenant in favour of the Sublandlord, and
vice-versa, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Sublease.

8.07 Time
     ----

     Time shall be of the essence of this Sublease and every part of it, except
as may be expressly provided to the contrary in this Sublease, and no extension
or variation of this Sublease shall operate as a waiver of this provision. When
calculating the period of time within which or following which any act is to be
done or step taken pursuant to this Sublease, unless this Sublease provides to
the contrary, the date which is the reference date in calculating such period
shall be excluded.

8.08 No Waiver
     ---------

     The waiver by the Sublandlord of any breach of any term, covenant or
condition herein contained shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any subsequent
breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein
<PAGE>

                                      -11-

contained. The subsequent acceptance of any amount hereunder by the Sublandlord
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by the Subtenant of
any term, covenant or condition of this Sublease, regardless of the Sublandord's
knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such amount. No
term, covenant or condition of this Sublease shall be deemed to have been waived
by the Sublandlord unless such waiver is in writing by the Sublandlord.

8.09 Confidentiality
     ---------------

     Each of the parties shall retain in the strictest of confidence any
confidential information of the other party which advertently or inadvertently
comes into the possession of a party as a result of their both occupying the
Premises during the period prior to the Vacated Date.

8.09 Actions of Landlord
     -------------------

     The exercise by the Landlord of any of its rights or purported rights under
the Lease shall be deemed not to be a breach by the Sublandlord of any of the
Sublandlord's Covenants, unless such rights are validly exercised as a result of
a default of the Sublandlord under the terms of the Lease, which default is not
in any way attributable to the acts or omissions of the Subtenant.

8.10 Landlord's Consent and Costs
     ----------------------------

     Except for the provisions of this section 8.10, this Sublease is deemed not
to have been signed by the Sublandlord nor delivered by the Sublandlord to the
Subtenant until such time as the Landlord has given its consent to the within
sublease by the Sublandlord to the Subtenant. The Subtenant shall be responsible
for the payment of all fees and other amounts charged by the Landlord in
connection with the request for its consent (including without limitation, all
costs which the Landlord may charge to the Tenant pursuant to the terms of the
Lease), regardless of whether or not the Landlord gives its consent to the terms
of this Sublease, to a maximum of $1,000.00 plus all applicable GST.

Dear Mr. Aicklen:

Re:  Consent to Sublease between 5395-5409 Eglinton Avenue West Inc. (the
     "Landlord"), Information Access Inc. (the "Tenant") and Jutvision
     Corporation (the "Subtenant") dated December 16, 1998

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This letter shall amend and become part of the above noted Consent to Sublease
for Premises located at 5405 Eglinton Avenue West Suite 107 (the "Leased
Premises"), whereas the Subtenant subletted a portion of the Leased Premises
from the Tenant with an option to sublease all of the Leased Premises to the
Subtenant from November 15, 1999 and ending April 14, 1999. Further, the
Subtenant has the option to extend the sublease term to February 28, 2000.

This letter shall confirm that the Subtenant will sublease all of the Leased
Premises commencing April 1, 1999 and ending February 28, 2000.

All other terms and conditions of the Consent to Sublease are to remain the
same.

Please indicate your acceptance of the foregoing by executing in the space
provided below and return to the Landlord on or before 12:00 on Friday, February
