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.

be deemed "Additional Rent" and shall be collectable as such.

harmless  from and  against  all  claims of any kind by reason of any  breach or

Either party may, by notice in writing, direct that future notices or demands by
sent to a  different  address.  Notice  shall be deemed to have been  given when
received  by the party to whom  addressed  (on the date upon which  delivery  is
refused, as the case may be).

     11.  No Partnership.  Nothing herein  contained in this Sublease  Agreement
shall be deemed or construed as creating the relationship of principal and agent
or of  partnership  or  joint  venture  between  the  parties  hereto;  it being
understood  and  agreed  that no act of the  parties  hereto  shall be deemed to
create any relationship other than that of Sublandlord and Subtenant.

     12.  Insurance.   Subtenant  agrees  to  maintain  casualty  and  liability
insurance coverage with respect to the Premises and with limits of liability and
deductibles  as  required   under  the  Prime  Lease.   Prior  to  the  Sublease
Commencement  Date,  Subtenant shall provide  Sublandlord  with a certificate of

contained therein with respect to (a) the Security  Deposit,  (b) any options to
renew  the  Term,  or (c) any  options  to  cancel  the  Prime  Lease,  shall be

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

Sublandlord  were the lessor under the Prime Lease and Subtenant were the lessee
thereunder;  and in case of any breach by Subtenant,  Sublandlord shall have all
the rights  against  Subtenant as would be  available to the lessor  against the
lessee  under the Prime Lease if such breach were by the lessee  thereunder.  In
addition to the rights and remedies  set forth in the Prime  Lease,  Sublandlord
shall in  addition,  upon the  occurrence  of any  breach by  Subtenant  and the
failure to cure the same on or before the  expiration  of three (3) days  notice
thereof,  be  entitled  to recover  from  Subtenant  the cost of the  removal of
Subtenant and Subtenant's property from the Premises.


     14.  Binding Agreement. The covenants and agreements herein contained shall
bind and inure to the benefit of Sublandlord,  subtenant,  and their  respective
executors, administrators, successors and assigns; however, this provision shall
not be deemed to  authorize  any  violation of Section 9 thereof. 

     15. Complete Agreement. All prior understandings and agreements between the
parties are merged  within  this  Sublease  Agreement  (including  the  attached
Exhibit A), which alone fully and completely sets forth the understanding of the
parties,  and this  Sublease may not be changed or  terminated  orally or in any
manner  other than by an  agreement  in writing and signed by the party  against
whom enforcement of the change or termination is sought.

     16. Security Deposit. Upon the execution hereof, Subtenant shall deliver to
Sublandlord a security  deposit in the amount of Seventeen  Thousand Two Hundred
Eighteen and 88/100 Dollars  ($17,218.88)  (the "Security  Deposit") as security
for  the  payment  and  performance  by  Subtenant  of all  of its  obligations,
covenants,  conditions and agreements hereunder.  The Security Deposit shall not
be considered a prepayment of rent or a limit on Subtenant's liability under the
Sublease or as liquidated  damages. If there is an event of default by Subtenant
hereunder,  Sublandlord  shall have the right,  but shall not be  obligated,  to
apply the Security Deposit as is reasonably  necessary to cure such default,  in
which event Subtenant shall be obligated to promptly  deliver to Sublandlord the
cash amount  necessary to restore the Security  Deposit to its original  amount,
and  Subtenant's  failure to do so within  ten (10) days after  notice of demand
therefor from  Sublandlord  shall constitute an Event of Default under the Lease
entitling  Sublandlord  without  further notice of all of its remedies under the
Lease; provided, however, such default and Subtenant's liability under the Lease
shall thereby be discharged only pro tanto and Subtenant shall remain liable for
any amounts that said Security Deposit shall be insufficient to pay. Sublandlord
agrees to return the Security  Deposit to Subtenant  within fifteen (15) days of
the Sublease  Expiration Date. In addition,  Sublandlord agrees to pay Subtenant
all accrued interest collected on the Security Deposit, net of taxes.

     17. Brokers.  Upon execution of this Sublease by both parties,  Sublandlord
shall pay Julien J. Studley and The Carey  Winston  Company a commission  as set
forth  in a  separate  agreement  between  Sublandlord  and  said  brokers,  for
brokerage  services  rendered  to  Sublandlord  in this  transaction.  Except as
aforesaid,  the parties represent and warrant to each other that they have dealt
with no other broker or finders in connection with this transaction.


     18. Prime  Landlord's  Consent.  It is understood and agreed by the parties
hereto that acceptance of this Sublease by the  Sublandlord  shall be subject to
the consent of the Prime  Landlord  pursuant  to Section 20 of the Prime  Lease.
Subtenant shall use best efforts to

                                      -4-

<PAGE>


cooperate with Sublandlord to provide the information required by Prime Landlord
with respect to this Sublease. Sublandlord hereby acknowledges to Prime Landlord
that, notwithstanding this Sublease,  Sublandlord shall in no way be released or
relieved,  in whole or part, from Sublandlord's  covenants as "Tenant" under the
Prime Lease.  In the event Prime  Landlord  refuses to consent to this Sublease,
then upon ten (10) days  following  written  notice  thereof  from  Sublandlord,
Subtenant shall vacate the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that  Subtenant  fails to vacate the Premises,  within such ten (10) days period
(i) Prime Landlord or Sublandlord may forthwith  re-enter and take possession of
said Premises,  and (ii)  Subtenant  shall pay Landlord an amount equal to twice
the monthly  payment of Basic  Monthly Rent in effect  immediately  prior to the
expiration of the Term, for the period in which Subtenant  occupies the Premises
after the expiration of such notice; provided,  however, the foregoing shall not
be deemed to limit  Subtenant's  liability  arising  from any  wrongful  holding
over.
