On October 15, 2012 Extreme Networks, Inc. (“Extreme Networks” or the “ Company ”) entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with RDU Center, L.L.C. (“Landlord”) to lease approximately 56,218 square feet of space, located at 2121 RDU Center Drive, Suite 100 and Suite 400, Morrisville, NC (the “Premises”). The Lease Agreement commences on January 1, 2013 with an initial term of 7.83 years, expiring on October 30, 2020. The Company has two options to renew the Lease Agreement for additional terms of five years each.
Monthly base rent on the Premises commences May 1, 2013 in an amount of approximately $1.175million per annum, increasing annually at a fixed rate per square foot to approximately $1.363 million per annum in the final year of the initial term of the Lease Agreement. In addition to the monthly rent obligations, Extreme Networks will be responsible for its share of operating expenses in an amount equal to the sum of the expenses directly attributable to the Premises plus a proportionate share of the expenses attributable to the real estate project of which the Premises are a part.
Under the Lease Agreement, the Landlord is obligated to pay up to $0.958 million toward the Company's existing lease obligations on its current lease in Durham, NC, which expires on July 31, 2014. In Addition, the Lease Agreement provides that the Landlord is responsible for an initial tenant improvement allowance of $2.035million and, if requested by the Company by April 20, 2013, an optional allowance of $0.562 million to cover certain improvements the Company desires to undertake on the Premises.
Extreme Networks and Landlord have made the customary representation, warranties and covenants in the Lease Agreement. Extreme Networks has the right to assign the Lease Agreement or to sublease any portion of or all of the Premises, subject to the Landlord's consent in certain circumstances, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.
