Lease Agreement
On February 2, 2012, Riverbed Technology, Inc. (“Riverbed”) entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) with 680 Folsom Owner LLC (the “Landlord”), pursuant to which Riverbed will lease a total of approximately 167,788 square feet of office space on five floors located at 680 Folsom Street, San Francisco, California 94107 (the “Premises”). Following the completion of certain construction by the Landlord and Riverbed, anticipated to be completed by August 2014, Riverbed intends to use the Premises as its new worldwide corporate headquarters.
The initial term of the Lease is 10 years. Riverbed has the option to extend the initial term of the Lease for up to two terms, each for an additional five year period. Riverbed also has certain rights of first offer with respect to leasing additional space within the building.
The base annual rent for the Premises will range from approximately $8.4 million to $9.0 million during the initial term of the Lease, none of which is expected to be due until construction has been completed and Riverbed has occupied the Premises. In addition to the base rent, the Company will be responsible for payment of certain operating expenses, including utilities and real estate taxes.
