Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Rincon Loan Agreement
In conjunction with our acquisition of the remaining 49% interest in One and Two Rincon Center described below under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, on April 29, 2011, we entered into and closed a seven-year, non-recourse loan (the Rincon Loan) in the amount of $110 million from JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association. The purpose of the Rincon Loan is to fully refinance an existing $106 million project loan on the property that was scheduled to mature on July 1, 2011. Interest under the loan is payable monthly at a fixed-rate of 5.134%. Our operating partnership has provided a customary non-recourse carve-out guaranty and environmental indemnity. In addition, the loan agreement includes customary events of default, including for failure to pay principal or interest or for certain non-permitted transfers.
A copy of the Rincon Loan agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Rincon Loan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K.
On May 4, 2011, we announced the closing of the Rincon Loan in a press release, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement
On May 3, 2011, in connection with our completion of a private placement of 3,125,000 shares to investment funds affiliated with Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C., or Farallon (the 2011 private placement), we entered into an amendment to an existing registration rights agreement with Farallon (the Amendment), pursuant to which the common stock purchased by Farallon in the 2011 private placement will be entitled to the benefits of the registration rights agreement. Under the Amendment, subject to certain limitations, commencing not later than 14 months after the date of our initial public offering (August 29, 2011), we will file one or more registration statements covering the resale of the shares of our common stock issued in the formation transactions, the 2010 private placement, the 2011 private placement and the resale of the shares of our common stock issued or issuable, at our option, in exchange for operating partnership units issued in the formation transactions. We may, at our option, satisfy our obligation to prepare and file a resale registration statement by filing a registration statement registering the issuance by us of shares of our common stock registered under the Securities Act to the holders of units upon redemption of such units and, to the extent such shares constitute restricted securities, their resale. Farallon has the right, on one occasion, to require us to register shares of our common stock issued in our formation transactions in connection with our initial public offering, our 2010 private placement and the 2011 private placement for resale in an underwritten offering registered pursuant to the Securities Act; provided, such registration shall be limited to a number of shares of common stock representing up to 25% of the aggregate number of shares of our common stock and common units issued to Farallon and their affiliates in the formation transactions, the 2010 private placement and the 2011 private placement. Commencing upon our filing of a resale registration statement not later than August 29, 2011 (14 months after the filing of our registration statement for our initial public offering), under certain circumstances, we are also required to undertake an underwritten offering upon the written request of holders of at least 10% in the aggregate of the securities originally issued in the formation transactions, provided that we are not obligated to effect more than two such underwritten offerings in addition to the demand registration.
A copy of the Amendment is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment filed with this
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On April 29, 2011, we acquired from an affiliate of Beacon Capital Partners the remaining 49% interest in One and Two Rincon Center, a landmark, 581,000-square-foot office complex in San Franciscos South Financial District, for $38.7 million (before closing costs and prorations). We funded the purchase price through borrowings on our secured credit facility and cash on hand. In addition, in conjunction with the acquisition, we closed the Rincon Loan, which is described above under Item 1.01 of this
Current Report on Form 8-K. We had previously acquired our 51% interest in One and Two Rincon Center on December 16, 2010. The agreements relating to our acquisition of the remainder of One and Two Rincon Center are filed as Exhibits 10.48 and 10.49 to Amendment No. 2 to Form S-11 (Registration Statement No. 333-173487), filed on April 26, 2011, which are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 regarding the Rincon Loan is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
The description of the Rincon Loan contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rincon Loan agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or, to Borrowers knowledge, the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (xx) of the definition of Special Purpose Entity set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b) obligations under the Loan Documents, (c) the Permitted Encumbrances and (d) the agreements set forth on Schedule 4.1.5 attached hereto.
4.1.6 Title . Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrowers ability to repay the Loan. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

The fair saleable value of Borrowers assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrowers probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrowers assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute
-37-
unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

Neither Borrower nor Principal nor Guarantor are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrowers assets or property, and Borrower has no actual knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it, Principal or Guarantor.

5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements . Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Property in all material respects, including, without limitation, building and zoning codes and certificates of occupancy. There shall never be committed by Borrower, and Borrower shall never cause or knowingly and intentionally permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property to commit any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrowers obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, or knowingly and intentionally permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Loan Documents.

After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at Borrowers own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited,

Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

-47-
terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.

If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a Casualty ), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof to substantially the same condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (to the extent such alterations require Lenders approval pursuant to the terms hereof) and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $250,000.00 and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation .

Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any portion of the Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt, and any amount in excess thereof shall be refunded to Borrower.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.3(a) and Section 6.4 , if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien following a Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining Individual Property), the Loan to Value Ratio of the Property is greater than 125% (such value to be
-70-
determined, in Lenders sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by (i) the net Condemnation Proceeds or (ii) a qualified amount as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless the Lender receives an opinion of counsel that the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien.

-71-
Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower and/or Tenant, as applicable under the respective Lease, will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense (subject to the making available any Net Proceeds pursuant to the terms hereof).

-72-
(L) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lenders discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) , shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanics or materialmans liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the Casualty Consultant ).

The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and reasonable approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant.

(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term Casualty Retainage shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b) , be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided , however , that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman
-73-
engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractors, subcontractors or materialmans contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the Net Proceeds Deficiency ) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds (and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency) deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) , and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be deposited in the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement, provided no Cash Sweep Trigger Event which is not a DSCR Trigger Event and which is not the subject of a Cash Sweep Cure Event shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion (in which event, no Yield Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment charge shall apply).
-74-
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II . It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (a) Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs at the Property by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II , provided, however, that the time within which such repairs must be completed shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period of any delay which is caused by fire, earthquake or other acts of God, strike, lockout, acts of public enemy, riots, insurrection, governmental regulation of the sale or transportation of materials, supplies or labor, or any other similar event outside of Borrowers reasonable control (but Borrowers lack of funds in and of itself shall not be deemed a cause beyond the control of Borrower) ( Force Majeure ), or (b) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lenders right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount for the Property set forth on such Schedule II hereto to perform the Required Repairs for the Property. Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof.

-75-
(ii) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (iii) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such Officers Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers (to the extent customarily provided for the work which is the subject of the applicable disbursement request) or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (d) at Lenders option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances other than the Permitted Encumbrances, and other Liens and trade payables expressly permitted to be incurred by Borrower hereunder, and (e) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to the Property (i) more than once a month and (ii) unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $5,000.00 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $5,000.00), in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2 .
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund . Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date $842,891 representing the full amount due and owing for insurance premiums for the twelve (12) month period commencing as of the Closing Date (the Initial Insurance Deposit) . If Borrower delivers to Lender evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that Borrower has implemented an insurance premium financing arrangement pursuant to which payments of insurance premiums are made on a monthly or other recurring basis (an Insurance Financing ), provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (a) Lender shall pay to Borrower the amount required to pay in full the first payment any down payment due under such Insurance Financing, which amount shall be paid by Borrower to the applicable insurance carriers pursuant to and in accordance with such Insurance Financing, (b) Lender shall deposit in to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund (as hereinafter defined) the full amount of the second payment to be paid in connection with such Insurance Financing, which amount shall be applied subject to and in accordance with this Section 7.2 and (c) provided that Borrower delivers to Lender evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender the amounts referenced in the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) have been paid to the applicable insurer, any excess of the Initial Insurance Deposit remaining after the payment of the amounts due under the foregoing clause (a) shall be reimbursed to Borrower. On each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Lender (i) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, (ii) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies and (iii) if an Insurance Financing is in effect, one-twelfth (1/12) (or such other percentage as required as a result of the periodic payments actually required pursuant to such Insurance Financing) of the Insurance Premiums due and owing pursuant to such Insurance Financing (all of the foregoing amounts, together with all interest earned thereon, hereinafter called the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund ). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, provided that no Event of Default has occurred
-76-
and is continuing, to the extent that any of the insurance required to be maintained by Borrower under this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document is effected under a blanket policy acceptable to Lender insuring substantially all of the real property owned, directly or indirectly, by Guarantor, Borrower shall not be required to make deposits pursuant to the foregoing with respect to Insurance Premiums. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that after the date hereof Borrower delivers to Lender evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that Borrower has implemented an Insurance Financing for a subsequent twelve (12) month period, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing Lender shall return to Borrower the excess, if any (as reasonably determined by Lender), of the amounts on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund as a result of such implementation minus the immediately due down payment under such financing arrangement and the first installment payment due thereunder. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve .
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund .

Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers Replacement Reserve Fund and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers Replacement Reserve Account . Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund during the continuance of a Replacement Reserve Trigger Period upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property to the extent required by an engineers report with respect to the Property. Borrower shall have the right to examine any such engineering report and to contest in good faith any such increase in the required Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit. Without in any way limiting Lenders ability to raise, or Borrowers obligation to pay, the increased amount of the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit to the extent required by such an engineers report, Lender agrees that it will
-77-
review in good faith any objections or other comments Borrower may have in connection with such increase.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account . (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property, replacements of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund.
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2 , disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if an Event of Default then exists.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form of draw request reasonably approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased or to be purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used or to be used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officers Certificate certifying that all Replacements have been or shall be made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property in all material respects. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials and all contracted labor or services and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall include evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such amounts.
(d) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed disbursement, an Officers Certificate certifying (i) the amounts then due and payable for the applicable Replacements, and (B) that all previously disbursed amounts have been paid in accordance with any prior certification, together with reasonable supporting documentation that the Replacements to be funded with such disbursement are due and payable (or were paid by Borrower) and that payment was made of all Replacements funded by previous disbursements.
(e) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a customary waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lenders disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account (to the extent such waivers are customarily provided for the type of work which is the subject of the
-78-
disbursement request). In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000.00 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $25,000.00.
7.3.3 Performance of Replacements . Regardless of whether a Replacement Reserve Trigger Period is in effect:
(a) Borrower shall make Replacements if and when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other comparable properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(b) Lender reserves the right, at its reasonable option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements which contracts or work orders are for work the cost of which shall exceed, in the aggregate, $100,000 . Upon Lenders request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender to the fullest extent assignable.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to, following the expiration of the notice and cure periods available to Borrower hereunder, withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any further notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder.
(d) In order to facilitate Lenders completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been
-79-
advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows, following and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing such Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete such Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of such Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lenders agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lenders engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 . Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lenders representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 .
(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrowers expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in excess of $150,000.00 in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanics, materialmens or other liens (except for those Liens existing on

Exhibit 99.1
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Announces
Completion of Acquisition of Rincon Center
Los Angeles, CA, May 4, 2011 Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the Company) (NYSE: HPP) today announced it acquired the remaining 49% interest in One and Two Rincon Center, a landmark, 581,000-square-foot office complex in San Franciscos South Financial District, for $38.7 million (before closing costs and prorations).
In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company closed a seven-year, secured, non-recourse loan in the amount of $110.0 million from JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association. Interest under the new loan is payable monthly at a fixed annual rate of 5.134%. The purpose of the loan is to fully refinance an existing $106.0 million project loan on the property that was scheduled to mature on July 1, 2011. The Companys operating partnership has provided a customary non-recourse carve-out guaranty and environmental indemnity. In addition, the loan agreement includes events of default the Company believes are usual for loans and transactions of this type.
We are pleased to acquire the complete ownership of Rincon Center, our fourth office property in San Francisco, said Victor J. Coleman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. This transaction is part of our investment strategy to acquire desirable properties in highly sought-after Northern California commercial office markets. It follows on our acquisitions of 1455 Market Street in San Franciscos Civic Center submarket and 222 Kearny Street in the citys North Financial District in the last six months.
One and Two Rincon Center is comprised of 482,000 square feet of office and 99,000 square feet of retail. The five-story One Rincon Center and six-story Two Rincon Center, built in 1989, are part of the dynamic, mixed-use Rincon Center complex that is bounded by Mission, Howard, Spear and Steuart streets in the South Financial District.
