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.

            Re:   Lease dated as of September 20, 2001 between Kingston Andrita
                  LLC, as landlord, and Playboy Entertainment Group, Inc., as
                  tenant, covering premises located at 3030 Andrita Street, Los
                  Angeles, California (the "Lease")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the captioned Lease. Capitalized terms used, but not
defined, herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.

In consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which hereby is acknowledged, this is to confirm
our agreement to amend the Lease as follows:

1.    The last paragraph of Section 2.2(d)(i) of the Lease hereby is amended as
      follows: (a) the date "June 1, 2002" is deleted from each place it
      appears, and the date "August 1, 2002" is substituted therefor; (b) the
      date "June 15, 2002" is deleted from each place it appears, and the date
      "August 15, 2002" is substituted therefor; and (c) the date "June 30,
      2002" is deleted from each place it appears, and the date "August 31,
      2002" is substituted therefor.

2.    The first paragraph of Section 2.2(d)(ii) of the Lease hereby is amended
      as follows: the date "June 15, 2002" is deleted from each place it
      appears, and the date "August 1, 2002" is substituted therefor.

3.    You have requested an open ceiling modification to that portion of
      Landlord's Work being performed in the Playboy Office Space, which
      modification currently is estimated to cause the cost of Landlord's Work
      to increase by approximately $90,000. Notwithstanding that pursuant to the
      terms of the Lease the cost of such modification would be a Playboy Office
      Work Change Cost, the actual cost of such open ceiling modification shall
      be deemed to be Shared Excess with respect to the Playboy Office Space,
      and you will pay for 50% of such increased cost in accordance with Section
      15.3(e)(y) of the Lease. That portion of such actual increased cost which
      is the responsibility of the undersigned shall be excluded from

<PAGE>
                                      -2-


      Landlord's share of the Shared Excess solely for purposes of the
      calculation of the increase in Base Rent pursuant to Section 2.2(e) of the
      Lease.

4.    At your request, the existing approved plans for Landlord's Work will be
      modified by the undersigned in order to provide more natural light by
      leaving existing windows exposed in offices on the Fletcher Drive side of
      the premises, as per the plan attached hereto as Exhibit A (rather than to
      cover them as contemplated by such existing approved plans for Landlord's
      Work). Notwithstanding that pursuant to the terms of the Lease the cost of
      such modification would be a Playboy Office Work Change Cost, the
      undersigned shall be responsible for 100% of any increase in the cost of
      Landlord's Work that is caused by such changes (i.e., such cost shall not
      be deemed to be a Playboy Office Work Change Cost or Shared Excess), and,
      provided they are consistent with the changes contemplated by Exhibit A
      attached hereto, the modifications to such existing plans to be made by
      the undersigned due to such changes shall not be subject to your approval.

5.    Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, the Master Control
      Room Rent Start Date shall be deemed to be the earlier of (a) that date on
      which you commence to use or occupy all or part of the Master Control Room
      for any purpose and (b) the date on which the work set forth in those
      certain Directrix Plans dated 11/16/01 and the Andrita Studios-Directrix
      Specifications dated November 2001 (excluding permanent air conditioning
      and a certificate of occupancy [or its equivalent]) with respect to the
      Master Control Room (the "MCR" Work) is substantially completed. The MCR
      Work shall be deemed substantially completed when it is completed to such
      an extent that only minor or insubstantial details of construction,
      mechanical adjustment or decoration shall remain to be performed, the
      completion of which shall not materially interfere with the use of the
      Master Control Room for its intended use. In addition, in the event that
      any Tenant Delay causes a delay in the substantial completion of the MCR
      Work, then the MCR Work shall be deemed substantially completed on the
      date on which it would have been substantially completed but for such
      Tenant Delay.

6.    The undersigned hereby waives any Tenant Delays that may have occurred
      through the date hereof with respect to the performance of Landlord's
      Work. Nothing herein, however, shall constitute a waiver by the
      undersigned of any Tenant Delay that occurs after the date hereof.

Except as set forth hereinabove, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of
the Lease hereby are ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and
effect.

Each party hereto represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker
or brokers in connection with this letter agreement and agrees to defend, save
and hold the other harmless from any claims for fees and commissions and against
any liability (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) by reason
of the indemnifying party's breach of such representation and warranty.

This letter agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original, and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one
and the same agreement.

Lease.

reasonably be required in order to effectuate the intended purposes of this
letter agreement.

Kindly indicate your agreement to the foregoing by signing this letter agreement
in the space provided below.

                                                 Very truly yours,
