EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2016 of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “our Company” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “our operating partnership” or “the operating partnership” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the sole general partner of our operating partnership. At June 30, 2016 , Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. owned approximately 68.5% of the outstanding common units of partnership interest (including unvested restricted units) in our operating partnership, or common units. The remaining approximately 31.5% of outstanding common units at June 30, 2016 were owned by certain of our executive officers and directors, certain of their affiliates, and other outside investors, including funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) and Farallon Capital Management, LLC. As the sole general partner of our operating partnership, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for our operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and the operating partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:
enhancing investors’ understanding of our Company and our operating partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both our Company and our operating partnership; and
creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

There are a few differences between our Company and our operating partnership, which are reflected in the disclosures in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between our Company and our operating partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is a REIT, the only material assets of which are the units of partnership interest in our operating partnership. As a result, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of our operating partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of our operating partnership. Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. itself does not issue any indebtedness but guarantees some of the debt of our operating partnership. Our operating partnership, which is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity, holds substantially all of the assets of our Company and conducts substantially all of our business. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., which are generally contributed to our operating partnership in exchange for units of partnership interest in our operating partnership, our operating partnership generates the capital required by our Company’s business through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of units of partnership interest in our operating partnership.
The presentation of non-controlling interest, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of our Company and those of our operating partnership. The common units in our operating partnership are accounted for as partners’ capital in our operating partnership’s consolidated financial statements and, to the extent not held by our Company, as non-controlling interest in our Company’s consolidated financial statements. The differences between stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital and non-controlling interest result from the differences in the equity issued by our Company and our operating partnership.
To help investors understand the significant differences between our Company and our operating partnership, this report presents the consolidated financial statements separately for our Company and our operating partnership. All other sections of this report, including “Selected Financial Data,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” are presented together for our Company and our operating partnership.
In order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and our operating partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act and 18 U.S.C. §1350, this report also includes separate “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and our operating partnership.

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on November 9, 2009 that did not have any meaningful operating activity until the consummation of its initial public offering and the related acquisition of its predecessor and certain other entities on June 29, 2010 (“IPO”). Since the completion of the IPO, the concurrent private placement, and the related formation transactions, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. has been a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Through its controlling interest in the operating partnership and its subsidiaries, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. owns, manages, leases, acquires and develops real estate, consisting primarily of office and media and entertainment properties. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in these financial statements to the “Company” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the “our operating partnership” or “the operating partnership” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

On April 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the EOP Northern California Portfolio (“EOP Acquisition”) from Blackstone Real Estate Partners V and VI (“Blackstone”). The EOP Acquisition consisted of  26  high-quality office assets totaling approximately  8.2 million square feet and  two  development parcels located throughout the San Francisco Peninsula, Redwood Shores, Palo Alto, Silicon Valley and North San Jose submarkets. The total consideration paid for the EOP Acquisition before certain credits, prorations, and closing costs included a cash payment of  $1.75 billion  and an aggregate of  63,474,791  shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and common units in the operating partnership. 

As of June 30, 2016 , the Company owned a portfolio of 51 office properties and two media and entertainment properties. These properties are located in California and the Pacific Northwest.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and the operating partnership are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2016. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the notes thereto.

In the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the prior period, certain amounts have been reclassified to held for sale. These amounts are related to Patrick Henry Drive and One Bay Plaza, which were sold in 2016, and to 12655 Jefferson, which was determined to be held for sale as of June 30, 2016 .

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. include the accounts of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., the operating partnership and all wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”), of which Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is the primary beneficiary. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the operating partnership include the accounts of the operating partnership, and all wholly-owned subsidiaries and VIEs of which the operating partnership is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-02,  Consolidation (“Topic 810”): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis , to amend the accounting guidance for consolidation. The standard simplifies the current guidance for

16

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share amounts)


consolidation and reduces the number of consolidation models through the elimination of the indefinite deferral of Statement 167. Additionally, the standard places more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates all entities that the Company controls through either majority ownership or voting rights. In addition, the Company consolidates all VIEs of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors (i) do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. As a result of the adoption, the Company concluded that two of the Company's joint ventures and its operating partnership met the definition of a VIE and is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are related to these VIEs. The Company entered into a joint venture during the second quarter of 2016. This joint venture met the definition of a VIE, however the Company is not the primary beneficiary and is not consolidating the joint venture.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its real estate properties, its accrued liabilities, and its performance-based equity compensation awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of ASUs. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Recently issued ASUs not listed below are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, because either the ASU is not applicable or the impact is expected to be immaterial.
    
On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses . This guidance sets forth a new impairment model for financial instruments, current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, which is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the CECL model, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. This update is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements.
    
On May 10, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. This guidance clarifies certain narrow aspects of Topic 606, including assessing collectibility, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and completed contracts and contract modifications at transition. On April 14, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. This guidance clarifies two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance. On March 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). This guidance clarifies certain aspects of the principal-versus-agent guidance in its new revenue recognition standard related to the determination of whether an entity is a principal-versus-agent and the determination of the nature of each specified good or service. Both updates affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date , and defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. These updates are effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of these updates on its consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements.

On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . This guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, and forfeitures. This update is effective for

17

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share amounts)


annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements.

On March 15, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting . This guidance eliminates the retroactive adoption requirement when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. This update is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements.

On March 14, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. This guidance clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. This update is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements.

On March 14, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships. This guidance clarifies the accounting treatment when there is a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815. This update is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Excludes the disposition of 45%  interest in 1455 Market Street office property on January 7, 2015.

The dispositions of these properties resulted in a gain of $2.2 million and $8.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, and a loss of $0.6 million and a gain of $22.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively.    

The Company has not presented the operating results in net income (loss) from discontinued operations for these disposals because they do not represent a strategic shift in the Company’s business.

Held for sale

On April 25, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 12655 Jefferson property for $80.0 million (before certain credits, prorations and closing costs). The Company determined that 12655 Jefferson met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and reclassified the balances related to such property within the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

On August 19, 2014, the Company entered into a loan participation agreement for a loan with a maximum principal of $140.0 million . The Company’s share was 23.77% , or $ 33.3 million. The note receivable is secured by a real estate property, bears interest at 11.0% and was to mature on August 22, 2016. Interest is payable monthly with the principal due at maturity. The Company received a $0.4 million commitment fee as a result of this transaction. The balance as of December 31, 2015 , net of the accretion of commitment fee, was $28.7 million . The notes receivable under the loan participation agreement were fully repaid as of June 30, 2016 .

8. Investment in unconsolidated entity    
    
Investment in unconsolidated real estate in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) is accounted for under the equity method of investment. Under the equity method, the Company initially records the investment at cost, and subsequently adjusts for equity in earnings or losses and cash contributions and distributions.

On June 16, 2016, the Company entered into a joint venture to co-originate a loan secured by land in Santa Clara, CA. The Company holds a 21.4% interest in the joint venture. The assets of the joint venture are comprised of the notes receivable which represents the maximum exposure for loss for the Company. The joint venture meets the criteria of a VIE and the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting since the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s net equity investment is reflected within investment in unconsolidated entity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the Company’s share of net income or loss from the joint venture is included within other expense (income) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

9. Goodwill

The Company’s goodwill balance as of  June 30, 2016  and December 31, 2015  was  $8.8 million . The Company does not amortize this asset but instead analyzes it on an annual basis for impairment. No impairment indicators have been noted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

These term loans were fully drawn on May 3, 2016.

A&R Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2015, the operating partnership entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 31, 2015 (the “Credit Facility”), which extended the maturity dates, increased the availability of the unsecured revolving credit facility to $400.0 million, increased the availability of 5 -Year Term Loan due April 2020 to $550.0 million, and added a $350.0 million 7 -Year Term Loan due April 2022. On November 17, 2015, the operating partnership amended and restated the Credit Facility (“Amended and Restated Credit Facility”) to align certain terms therein with the less restrictive terms of the New Term Loan Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Facility were used towards the EOP Acquisition in 2015 and the Amended and Restated Credit Facility is available for other purposes, including for payment of pre-development and development costs incurred in connection with properties owned by the Company, to finance capital expenditures and the repayment of indebtedness of the Company, to provide for general working capital needs and for general corporate purposes of the Company, and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.

Guaranteed Senior Notes

On November 16, 2015, the operating partnership entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with various purchasers, which provides for the private placement of $425.0 million of senior guaranteed notes by the operating partnership, designated as three notes with various interest rates and maturity dates (“Notes”). The Notes were issued on December 16, 2015 and upon issuance, the Notes pay interest semi-annually on the 16th day of June and December in each year until their respective maturities.

Debt Covenants

The operating partnership’s ability to borrow under the New Term Loan Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, and the Note Purchase Agreement remains subject to ongoing compliance with financial and other covenants as defined in the respective agreements, including, when considering the most restrictive terms, maintaining a leverage ratio (maximum of 0.60 :1.00), unencumbered leverage ratio (maximum of 0.60 :1.00), fixed charge coverage ratio (minimum of 1.50 :1.00), secured indebtedness leverage ratio (maximum of 0.45 :1.00), and unsecured interest coverage ratio (minimum 2.00 :1.00). Certain financial covenant ratios are subject to change in the occurrence of material acquisitions as defined in the respective agreements. Other covenants include certain limitations on dividend payouts and distributions, limits on certain types of investments outside of the operating partnership’s primary business, and other customary affirmative and negative covenants.

Repayment Guaranties

Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson Loan     

In connection with the loan secured by the Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson properties, the Company has guaranteed in favor of and promised to pay to the lender  19.5%  of the principal payable under the loan in the event the borrower, a wholly-owned entity of the operating partnership, does not do so. As of June 30, 2016 , the outstanding balance was $5.0 million , which results in a maximum guarantee amount for the principal under this loan of $1.0 million . Furthermore, the Company agreed to guarantee the completion of the construction improvements, including tenant improvements, as defined in the agreement, in the event of any default of the borrower. If the borrower fails to complete the remaining required work, the guarantor agrees to perform timely all of the completion obligations, as defined in the agreement. As of the date of this filing, there has been no event of default associated with this loan.

Other Loans

11. Derivative Instruments

The Company entered into interest rate contracts in order to hedge interest rate risk. As of  June 30, 2016 , the Company had six interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $839.5 million. As of  December 31, 2015 , the Company had  two  interest rate caps and  five  interest rate swaps with notional amounts of  $92.0 million and $714.5 million, respectively. These derivatives were designated as effective cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

The Company’s derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 and their fair values are derived from estimated values obtained from observable market data for similar instruments.
    
5-Year Term Loan due April 2020 and 7-year Term Loan due April 2022

On April 1, 2015, the Company entered into a derivative contract with respect to $300.0 million of the 5 -Year Term Loan due April 2020 which, effective as of May 1, 2015, swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.36% through the loan’s maturity. Therefore the interest rate is effectively fixed at 2.66% to 3.56% . The unhedged portion bears interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.30% to 2.20% , depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. On July 20, 2016, the Company redesignated this interest rate swap to add a 0.00% floor to one-month LIBOR effective July 1, 2016. Therefore, the effective interest rate with respect to $300.0 million of the term loan increased to a range of 2.75% to 3.65% per annum based on the Company's operating partnership's leverage ratio.

On April 1, 2015, the Company also entered into a derivative contract with respect to the $350.0 million 7 -year Term Loan due April 2022, which, effective as of May 1, 2015, swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.61% through the loan’s maturity. Therefore the interest rate is effectively fixed at 3.21% to 4.16% . On July 20, 2016, the Company redesignated this interest rate swap to add a 0.00% floor to one-month LIBOR effective July 1, 2016. Therefore, the effective interest rate with respect to $350.0 million 7 -year Term Loan due April 2022 increased to a range of 3.36% to 4.31% per annum based on the Company's operating partnership's leverage ratio.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $0.4 million and $2.5 million , respectively, related to the ineffective portion of these derivative contracts. There was no unrealized loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 . The Company redesignated the derivative contracts to add a 0.00% floor to one-month LIBOR effective July 1, 2016 as described above, therefore, eliminating the ineffectiveness in these derivatives. See Note 20—Subsequent Events for details.

Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson Mortgage

On February 11, 2011, the Company closed a five -year term loan totaling $92.0 million with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., secured by the Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson properties. The loan initially bore interest at a rate equal to one -month LIBOR plus 3.50% . On March 16, 2011, the Company purchased an interest rate cap in order to cap one -month LIBOR at 3.715% on $50.0 million of the loan through February 11, 2016. On January 11, 2012, the Company purchased an interest rate cap in order to cap one -month LIBOR at 2.00% with respect to $42.0 million of the loan.

Effective August 22, 2013, the terms of this loan were amended to, among other changes, increase the outstanding balance from $92.0 million to $97.0 million , reduce the interest to a rate equal to one -month LIBOR plus 2.25% , and extend the maturity date from February 11, 2016 to February 11, 2018. The derivatives described above were not changed in connection with this loan amendment. Therefore, the interest rate is effectively fixed at 5.97% on $50.0 million of the loan and 4.25% with respect to $42.0 million of the loan.

Effective March 4, 2015, the terms of this loan were amended and restated to introduce the ability to draw up to an additional $160.0 million for budgeted construction costs associated with the ICON development and to extend the maturity date from February 11, 2018 to March 4, 2019. The derivatives described above were not changed in connection with this loan amendment. These derivatives matured on February 11, 2016.

Overall

The fair market value of derivatives are presented on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no derivative assets as of June 30, 2016 . The derivative assets as of December 31, 2015 were $2.1 million . The derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $26.5 million and $2.0 million , respectively.

The Company reclassifies into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company expects $8.9 million of unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to interest expense in the next twelve months.

12. Income Taxes

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2010. Provided that it continues to qualify for taxation as a REIT, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is generally not subject to corporate level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders. The Company has elected, together with one of its subsidiaries, to treat such subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes.

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of  June 30, 2016 , the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

The Company and its TRS file income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company and its TRS are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2011. Generally, the Company has assessed its tax positions for all open years, which include 2011 to 2015, and concluded that there are no material uncertainties to be recognized.

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
    
The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The Company measures fair value of financial instruments using level 2 inputs categorized within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:

15. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has various stock compensation arrangements, which are more fully described in Part IV, Item 15(a) “Financial Statement and Schedules—Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Equity” in its 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Under the 2010 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (“2010 Plan”), the board of directors of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., or its compensation committee, has the ability to grant, among other things, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units.

The board of directors of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. awards restricted shares to non-employee board members, other than directors designated by The Blackstone Group L.P. or its affiliates, on an annual basis as part of such board members’ annual compensation and to newly elected non-employee board members, other than directors designated by The Blackstone Group L.P. or its affiliates, in accordance with the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. The share-based awards are generally issued in the second quarter, and the awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is three years .

In addition, the board of directors of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. or its compensation committee awards time-based restricted shares to certain employees on an annual basis as part of the employees’ annual compensation. The share-based awards are generally issued in the fourth quarter, and the awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is three years . Additionally, these awards are subject to a two -year hold upon vesting if the employee is a named executive officer at the time of grant.

Starting in January 2012, during the first quarter, the compensation committee of the board of directors of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. adopts an Outperformance Plan (“OPP”) under the 2010 Plan. Each OPP is a multi-year outperformance program covering certain senior executives, and authorizes grants of incentive awards linked to absolute and relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the applicable three -year performance period. During March 2016, the Compensation Committee adopted the 2016 OPP Plan under the Company’s 2010 Plan. The 2016 OPP is substantially similar to the previous OPPs except that (i) the performance period will run from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018, (ii) the maximum bonus pool under the 2016 OPP is $17.5 million , (iii) the 2016 OPP provides for a target bonus pool equal to $3.7 million and (iv) the bonus pool will be equal to 3% of the amount by which TSR during the performance period exceeds the applicable goal. For certain participants, the 2016 OPP awards will be settled in performance units of the operating partnership (rather than in common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.).

In December 2015, the board of directors of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. awarded special one-time retention grants to certain employees, which include time-vesting restricted stock and performance-based RSUs. These awards vest over four years (subject to continued employment and, with respect to the RSUs, the achievement of performance goals). Additionally, these awards are subject to a two -year hold upon vesting.

The following table presents the classification and amount recognized for stock compensation related to the Company’s OPP plans and restricted stock awards:

16. Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company calculates diluted earnings per share by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive instruments outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method. Unvested time-based RSUs and unvested OPP awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator in computing the Company’s basic and diluted per share computations for net income available to common stockholders:

Shares related to the Company’s 2015 OPP were excluded from the calculation of dilutive net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 because they are not currently expected to be earned.

Common units and performance units in the operating partnership

There were 46,179,092 and 56,296,315 common units outstanding held by investors, executive officers and directors as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. Common units and shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of the operating partnership. Investors who own common units have the right to cause the operating partnership to redeem any or all of their common units for cash equal to the then-current market value of one share of common stock or, at the Company’s election, issue shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. in exchange for common units on a one -for-one basis. In May 2016, common unitholders required the operating partnership to redeem 10,117,223 common units and the Company elected, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the operating partnership, to settle in cash to satisfy the redemption. The Company funded the redemption using the proceeds from a registered underwritten public offering of common stock. On July 21, 2016, common unitholders required the operating partnership to redeem an additional 19,195,373 common units and the Company elected, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the operating partnership, to settle in cash to satisfy the redemption. The Company funded the redemption using the proceeds from a registered underwritten public offering of common stock. See Note 20—Subsequent Events for details.
 
Performance units are partnership interests in the operating partnership. Each performance unit awarded will be deemed equivalent to an award of one unit of common stock under the 2010 Plan, reducing the availability for other equity awards on a one-for-one basis. Under the terms of the performance units, the operating partnership will revalue for tax purposes its assets upon the occurrence of certain specified events, and any increase in valuation from the time of grant until such event will be allocated first to the holders of performance units to equalize the capital accounts of such holders with the capital accounts of common

Employment Agreements

The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain executive officers, effective January 1, 2016, that provide for various severance and change in control benefits and other terms and conditions of employment.

Lease and subsequent purchase of Corporate Headquarters from Blackstone

On July 26, 2006, the Company’s predecessor, Hudson Capital, LLC, entered into a lease agreement and subsequent amendments with landlord Trizec Holdings Cal, LLC (an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners V and Blackstone Real Estate Partners VI) for the Company’s corporate headquarters at 11601 Wilshire Boulevard. The Company previously occupied approximately 40,120  square feet of the property’s space as a tenant. On December 16, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment of that lease to expand the space to approximately 42,371 square feet of the property’s space and to extend the term by an additional three years, to a total of ten years, through August 31, 2025.

Agreement Related to EOP Acquisition

On April 1, 2015, the Company completed the EOP Acquisition from certain affiliates of Blackstone, which consisted of 26 high-quality office assets totaling approximately 8.2 million square feet and two development parcels located throughout the San Francisco Peninsula, Redwood Shores, Palo Alto, Silicon Valley and North San Jose submarkets. The total consideration paid for the EOP Acquisition before certain credits, prorations and closing costs included a cash payment of $1.75 billion and an aggregate of 63,474,791 shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and common units in the operating partnership.

The Stockholders Agreement

On April 1, 2015, in connection with the closing of the EOP Acquisition as described above, the Company entered into the Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) by and among the Company, the operating partnership, Blackstone Real Estate Advisors L.P. (“BREA”) and Blackstone. The Stockholders Agreement sets forth various arrangements and restrictions with respect to the governance of the Company and certain rights of Blackstone with respect to the shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and common units of the operating partnership received by Blackstone in connection with the EOP Acquisition (the “Equity Consideration”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, in April 2015 the board of directors of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the “Board”) was expanded from eight to eleven directors, and three director nominees designated by Blackstone to the Board were elected. On January 13, 2016, one of Blackstone’s nominees resigned from the Board, and Blackstone indicated that it would not designate an individual to replace him. Subsequently, the Board voted to decrease its size to ten directors. Subject to certain exceptions, the Board will continue to include Blackstone’ designees in its slate of nominees, and will continue to recommend such nominees, and will otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to solicit the vote of the stockholders of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. to elect to the Board the slate of nominees which includes those designated by Blackstone. Blackstone will have the right to designate three nominees for so long as it continues to beneficially own, in the aggregate, greater than 50% of the Equity Consideration. If Blackstone’ beneficial ownership of the Equity Consideration decreases, then the number of director nominees that Blackstone will have the right to designate will be reduced (i) to two , if Blackstone beneficially owns greater than or equal to 30% but less than or equal to 50% of the Equity Consideration and (ii) to one , if Blackstone beneficially owns greater than or equal to 15% but less than 30% of the Equity Consideration. The Board nomination rights of Blackstone will terminate at such time as Blackstone beneficially owns less than 15% of the Equity Consideration or upon written notice of waiver or termination of such rights by Blackstone. So long as Blackstone retains the right to designate at least one nominee to the Board, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. will not be permitted to increase the total number of directors comprising the Board to more than twelve persons without the prior written consent of Blackstone.

For so long as Blackstone has the right to designate at least two director nominees, subject to the satisfaction of applicable NYSE independence requirements, Blackstone will also be entitled to appoint one such nominee then serving on the Board to serve on each committee of the Board (other than certain specified committees).

The Stockholders Agreement also includes standstill provisions, which require that, until such time as Blackstone beneficially owns shares of common stock representing less than 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a fully-diluted basis, Blackstone and BREA are restricted from, among other things, acquiring additional equity or debt securities (other than non-recourse debt and certain other debt) of the Company without the Company’s prior written consent.

In addition, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, until April 1, 2017, the Company is required to obtain the prior written consent of Blackstone prior to the issuance of common equity securities by it or any of its subsidiaries other than up to an aggregate of 16,843,028 shares of common stock (and certain other exceptions).

Further, until such time as Blackstone beneficially owns, in the aggregate, less than 15% of the Equity Consideration, Blackstone will cause all common stock held by it to be voted by proxy (i) in favor of all persons nominated to serve as directors by the Board (or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee thereof) in any slate of nominees which includes Blackstone’ nominees and (ii) otherwise in accordance with the recommendation of the Board (to the extent the recommendation is not inconsistent with the rights of Blackstone under the Stockholders Agreement) with respect to any other action, proposal or other matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., other than in connection with (A) any proposed transaction relating to a change of control of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., (B) any amendments to the charter or bylaws of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., (C) any other transaction that Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. submits to a vote of its stockholders

35

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share amounts)


pursuant to Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual or (D) any other transaction that Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. submits to a vote of its stockholders for approval.

As required by the Stockholders Agreement, the Company has agreed that Blackstone and certain of its affiliates may engage in investments, strategic relationships or other business relationships with entities engaged in other business, including those that compete with the Company, and will have no obligation to present any particular investment or business opportunity to the Company, even if the opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company, could be undertaken by the Company. As required by the Stockholders Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law, the Company has renounced any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any such investment, opportunity or activity presented to or developed by Blackstone, its nominees for election as directors and certain of its affiliates, other than any opportunity expressly offered to a director nominated at the direction of Blackstone in his or her capacity as a director of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.

Further, without the prior written consent of Blackstone, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. may not amend certain provisions of its bylaws relating to the ability of its directors and officers to engage in other business or to adopt qualification for directors other than those in effect as of the date of the Stockholders Agreement or as are generally applicable to all directors, respectively.

The Stockholders Agreement also includes certain provisions that, together, are intended to enhance the liquidity of common units to be held by Blackstone.

Redemption Rights of Blackstone

Under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Company (in its capacity as the general partner of the operating partnership) has waived the 14 -month holding period set forth in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement before Blackstone may require the operating partnership to redeem the common units and grants certain additional rights to Blackstone in connection with such redemptions. Among other things, the Company generally must give Blackstone notice before 9:30 a.m. Eastern time on the business day after the business day on which Blackstone gives the Company notice of redemption of any common units of the Company’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (a) cause the operating partnership to redeem all of the tendered common units in exchange for a cash amount per common units equal to the value of one share of common stock on the date that Blackstone provided its notice of redemption, calculated in accordance with and subject to adjustment as provided in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement, or (b) subject to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company’s stock set forth in its charter, acquire all of the tendered common units from Blackstone in exchange for shares of common stock, based on an exchange ratio of one share of common stock for each common unit, subject to adjustment as provided in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement. If the Company fails to timely provide such notice, the Company will be deemed to have elected to cause the operating partnership to redeem all such tendered common units in exchange for shares of common stock. In May 2016, Blackstone redeemed 10,000,000 common units in the operating partnership in exchange for cash. On July 21, 2016, Blackstone redeemed an additional 19,000,000 common units. See Note 20—Subsequent Events for details.

The Company may also elect to cause the operating partnership to redeem all common units tendered by Blackstone with the proceeds of a public or private offering of common stock under certain circumstances as discussed more fully below.

Restrictions on Transfer of Common Units by Blackstone

Under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Company (in its capacity as the general partner of the operating partnership) has waived the 14 -month holding period set forth in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement before Blackstone may transfer any common units, and has agreed to admit any permitted transferee of Blackstone as a substituted limited partner of the operating partnership upon the satisfaction of certain conditions described in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement. Nevertheless, the Covered Securities are subject to the transfer restrictions described above.

Ownership Limit Waiver

In connection with the issuance of the Equity Consideration, the Board granted to Blackstone and certain of its affiliates a limited exception to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of common stock set forth in the charter of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the “Charter”) that allows Blackstone and certain of its affiliates to own, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate,

36

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share amounts)


up to 17,707,056 shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the “Excepted Holder Limit”). This exception is conditioned upon the continued accuracy of various representations and covenants set forth in Blackstone’s waiver request delivered on April 1, 2015, confirming, among other things, that neither Blackstone nor certain of its affiliates may own, directly or indirectly, (i) more than 9.9% of the interests in a tenant of the Company (other than a tenant of the 1455 Market Street office property) or (ii) more than 5.45% of the interests in a tenant of the 1455 Market Street office property, in each case subject to certain exceptions that may reduce such ownership percentage, but not below 2% and representations intended to confirm that Blackstone’s and certain of its affiliates’ ownership of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. will not cause Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. to otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT.

The exception for Blackstone and certain of its affiliates will apply until (i) Blackstone or any such affiliate violates any of the representations or covenants in Blackstone’s waiver request or (ii) (a) Blackstone or any such affiliate owns, directly or indirectly, more than the applicable ownership percentage (as described above) of the interests in any tenant(s) and (b) the maximum rental income expected to be produced by such tenant(s) exceeds (x) 0.5% of the Company’s gross income (in the case of tenants other than tenants of the 1455 Market Street office property) or (y) 0.5% of the 1455 Market Street Joint Venture’s gross income (in the case of tenants of the 1455 Market Street office property) for any taxable year (the “Rent Threshold”), at which time the number of shares of common stock that Blackstone and certain of its affiliates may directly or indirectly own will be reduced to the number of shares of common stock which would result in the amount of rent from such tenant(s) (that would be treated as related party rents under certain tax rules) representing no more than the Rent Threshold.

In addition, due to Blackstone’s ownership of common units of limited partnership interest in the operating partnership and the application of certain constructive ownership rules, the operating partnership will be considered to own the common stock that is directly or indirectly owned by Blackstone and certain of its affiliates. For this reason, the Board has also granted the operating partnership an exception to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of common stock set forth in the Charter.

The Registration Rights Agreement

On April 1, 2015, in connection with the closing of the EOP Acquisition, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 1, 2015 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), by and among the Company and Blackstone. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for customary registration rights with respect to the Equity Consideration, including the following:

Shelf Registration . On October 27, 2015, the Company filed a prospectus covering Blackstone’s shares of common stock received as part of the Equity Consideration as well as shares issuable upon redemption of common units received as part of the Equity Consideration, which was replaced by a subsequent prospectus filed by the Company on July 21 2016. The Company is required to use its reasonable best efforts to keep such resale shelf registration statement effective for as long as Blackstone continues to hold such shares of common stock.

Demand Registrations . Beginning November 1, 2015 (or earlier if transfer restrictions under the Stockholders Agreement are terminated earlier), Blackstone may cause the Company to register their shares if the foregoing resale shelf registration statement is not effective or if the Company is not eligible to file a shelf registration statement.

 Qualified Offerings . Any registered offerings requested by Blackstone that are to an underwriter on a firm commitment basis for reoffering and resale to the public, in an offering that is a “bought deal” with one or more investment banks or in a block trade with a broker-dealer will be (subject to certain specified exceptions): (i) no more frequent than once in any 120 -day period, (ii) subject to underwriter lock-ups from prior offerings then in effect, and (iii) subject to a minimum offering size of $50.0 million.
 
 Piggy-Back Rights.  Beginning November 1, 2015 (or earlier if transfer restrictions under the Stockholders Agreement are terminated earlier), Blackstone is permitted to, among other things, participate in offerings for the Company’s account or the account of any other security holder of the Company (other than in certain specified cases). If underwriters advise that the success of a proposed offering would be significantly and adversely affected by the inclusion of all securities in an offering initiated by the Company for the Company’s own account, then the securities proposed to be included by Blackstone together with other stockholders exercising similar piggy-back rights are cut back first.

Limited Partnership Agreement

On April 1, 2015, in connection with the closing of the EOP Acquisition, the Company, as the general partner of the operating partnership, entered into the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the operating partnership dated April 1, 2015 along with Blackstone and the other limited partners of the operating partnership. The principal changes to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the operating partnership, as amended and as in effect immediately prior to the closing of the EOP Acquisition, made by the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement were to add the provisions described below. The Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement was subsequently amended and restated on December 17, 2015 by the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the operating partnership.

The Stockholders Agreement prohibits the Company, without the prior written consent of Blackstone, from amending certain provisions of the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement in a manner adverse in any respect to Blackstone (in its capacity as limited partners of the operating partnership), or to add any new provision to the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement that would have a substantially identical effect or from taking any action that is intended to or otherwise would have a substantially identical effect.

Restrictions on Mergers, Sales, Transfers and Other Significant Transactions of the Company

Prior to the date on which Blackstone and any of its affiliates own less than 9.8% of the Equity Consideration, the Company may not consummate any of (a) a merger, consolidation or other combination of the Company’s or the operating partnership’s assets with another person, (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the operating partnership, (c) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets not in the ordinary course of the operating partnership’s business or (d) a reclassification, recapitalization or change in the Company’s outstanding equity securities (other than in connection with a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, change in par value, increase in authorized shares, designation or issuance of new classes of equity securities or any event that does not require the approval of the Company’s stockholders), in each case, which is submitted to the holders of the common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. for approval, unless such transaction is also approved by the partners of the operating partnership holding common units on a “pass through” basis, which, in effect, affords the limited partners of the operating partnership that hold common units the right to vote on such transaction as though such limited partners held the number of shares of common stock into which their common units were then exchangeable and voted together with the holders of the outstanding common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. with respect to such transaction.

Stock Offering Funding of Redemption

If Blackstone or any of its affiliates who become limited partners of the operating partnership (“Specified Limited Partners”) delivers a notice of redemption with respect to common units that, if exchanged for common stock, would result in a violation of the Excepted Holder Limit (as defined below) or otherwise violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company’s stock set forth in its charter and that have an aggregate value in excess of $50.0 million as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, then, if the Company is then eligible to register the offering of its securities on Form S-3 (or any successor form similar thereto), the Company may elect to cause the operating partnership to redeem such common units with the net proceeds from a public or private offering of the number of shares of common stock that would be deliverable in exchange for such common units but for the application of the Excepted Holder Limit and other restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company’s stock. If the Company elects to fund the redemption of any common units with such an offering, it will allow all Specified Limited Partners the opportunity to include additional common units held by such Specified Limited Partners in such redemption.
    
Blackstone Margin Loan

HPP BREP V Holdco A LLC (“Borrower”), an affiliate of Blackstone, has entered into (i) a Margin Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) dated as of December 29, 2015 with the lenders party thereto (each, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”) and the administrative agent party thereto and (ii) Pledge and Security Agreements dated as of December 31, 2015, in each case, between one of the Lenders, as secured party, and Borrower, as pledgor (the “Borrower Pledge Agreements”), and certain of Borrower’s affiliates (each, a “Holdco A Guarantor” and collectively, the “Holdco A Guarantors”) each entered into (i) with each Lender, a Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of December 31, 2015 (each, a “Holdco A Guarantor Pledge Agreement” and, collectively with the Borrower Pledge Agreements, the “Pledge Agreements”) and (ii) with the administrative agent and the Lenders, a Guarantee dated as of December 31, 2015 of the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement

(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share amounts)


(each, a “Holdco A Guarantee” and collectively the “Holdco A Guarantees”). In addition, certain of Borrower’s other affiliates (each, a “Holdco B Guarantor” and collectively, the “Holdco B Guarantors” and, together with the Holdco A Guarantors, the “Guarantors”) each entered into, with the administrative agent and the Lenders, a Guarantee dated as of December 31, 2015 of the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement (each, a “Holdco B Guarantee” and, collectively with the Holdco A Guarantees, the Loan Agreement, the Pledge Agreements and substantially similar pledge and security agreements entered into since December 31, 2015, the “Loan Documents”). Each of the Borrower, the Holdco A Guarantors and the Holdco B Guarantors is affiliated with Blackstone.

As of December 31, 2015, the Borrower has borrowed an aggregate of $350.0 million under the Loan Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Borrower may borrow up to an additional $150.0 million on or after March 1, 2016. The scheduled maturity date of the loans under the Loan Agreement is December 31, 2017, which may be extended at the election of the Borrower until December 31, 2018. To secure borrowings under the Loan Agreement, the Borrower and the Guarantors have collectively pledged 8,276,945 shares of common stock and 52,627,118 common units in the operating partnership, as well as their respective rights under the Registration Rights Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of certain events that are customary for this type of loan, the Lenders may exercise their rights to require the Borrower to pre-pay the loan proceeds, post additional collateral, or foreclose on, and dispose of, the pledged shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and pledged common units in the operating partnership in accordance with the Loan Documents.
The Company did not independently verify the foregoing disclosure regarding the margin loan. In addition, the Company is not a party to the Loan Documents and has no obligations thereunder, but has delivered an Issuer Agreement to each of the Lenders in which it has, among other things, agreed to certain obligations relating to the pledged shares of the common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and pledged common units in the operating partnership and, subject to applicable law and stock exchange rules, agreed not to take any actions that are intended to materially hinder or delay the exercise of any remedies with respect to the pledged shares of the common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and pledged common units in the operating partnership.
19. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

From time to time, the Company is party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings arising out of, or incident to, the ordinary course of business. Management believes, based in part upon consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of all such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. As of June 30, 2016 , the risk of material loss from such legal actions impacting the Company’s financial condition or results from operations has been assessed as remote.

Concentrations

As of June 30, 2016 , the majority of the Company’s properties were located in California, which exposes the Company to greater economic risks than if it owned a more geographically dispersed portfolio.

A significant portion of the Company’s rental revenue is derived from tenants in the media and entertainment, and technology industries. As of June 30, 2016 , approximately 13.5% and 29.0% of rentable square feet were related to the media and entertainment and technology industries, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016 , the Company’s 15 largest tenants represented approximately 29.0% of its rentable square feet and no single tenant accounted for more than 10% .

Letters of Credit

As of June 30, 2016 , the Company has outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $3.3 million under the unsecured revolving credit facility. The letters of credit are primarily related to utility company security deposit requirements.

20. Subsequent Events

Acquisition

On July 1, 2016, the Company purchased a 500,475 -square-foot Class A tower located at 11601 Wilshire Boulevard in West Los Angeles, California for $311.0 million (before credits, prorations and closing costs). Owned by an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners V and Blackstone Real Estate Partners VI, the building has served as the Company’s corporate office since its IPO. The acquisition of this property provides the Company with an opportunity to create value through enhanced operations, the lease-up of vacant space, and re-leasing of space at market rents above those currently in-place. The Company is currently in the process of determining the purchase price accounting.

The Company funded the acquisition with the proceeds from the One Bay Plaza disposition and a private placement for $150.0 million of 3.98% senior guaranteed notes due July 6, 2026. The $150.0 million was drawn on July 6, 2016. The acquisition was also funded with $28.5 million received in connection with the repayment in full of a note receivable and funds drawn under unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company also secured an additional $50.0 million of funds from a private placement of 3.66% senior guaranteed notes due September 15, 2023, which has not been drawn. The covenants with respect to these loans are the same as those described in Note 10—Notes Payable.

JMG Capital Management LLC leases approximately 6,638 square feet at 11601 Wilshire pursuant to an eight -year lease at an aggregate rate of approximately $279 thousand annualized rent per year. Jonathan M. Glaser, a member of the Company’s board of directors, is the founder and managing member of JMG Capital Management LLC.

Redesignation of derivatives

The Company redesignated derivative contracts with respect to $300.0 million of the 5 -Year Term Loan due April 2020 and the $350.0 million 7 -year Term Loan due April 2022 to add a 0.00% floor to one-month LIBOR, effective July 1, 2016, to remove the ineffective portion of the original derivatives related to these loans. Therefore, the effective interest rate with respect to $300.0 million of the term loan increased to a range of 2.75% to 3.65% per annum, and the effective interest rate with respect to $350.0 million 7 -year Term Loan due April 2022 increased to a range of 3.36% to 4.31% per annum. The interest rate is based on the Company's operating partnership's leverage ratio.

Common stock offering and common unit redemption

On July 21, 2016, the Company completed a public offering of 19,195,373 shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. The proceeds from the offering were used to redeem 19,195,373 common units in the operating partnership held by Blackstone and the Farallon Funds.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time by us or our representatives in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other filings or reports filed with the SEC, press releases, conferences, or otherwise, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act). In particular, statements relating to our liquidity and capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Furthermore, all of the statements regarding future financial performance (including anticipated funds from operations, or FFO, market conditions and demographics) are forward-looking statements. We are including this cautionary statement to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any such forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or that management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, liquidity or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

adverse economic or real estate developments in our target markets;

general economic conditions;

defaults on, early terminations of or non-renewal of leases by tenants;

fluctuations in interest rates and increased operating costs;

our failure to obtain necessary outside financing or maintain an investment grade rating;

our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness and maintain dividend payments;

lack or insufficient amounts of insurance;

decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;

difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions;

our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations;

our failure to maintain our status as a REIT;

environmental uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters;

financial market fluctuations;

risks related to acquisitions generally, including the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and the impact on customers, tenants, lenders, operating results and business;


41



the inability to successfully integrate acquired properties, realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or capitalize on value creation opportunities;

changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates; and

other factors affecting the real estate industry generally.

We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which were based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends. Additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties is contained in our other periodic filings with the SEC.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2016 to the three months ended June 30, 2015
    
Consolidated Net Operating Income

We evaluate performance based upon property net operating income (“NOI”) from continuing operations. NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to income from continuing operations or cash flows, as an indication of our performance or of our ability to make distributions, or as a measure of our liquidity. Companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be a useful performance measure to investors and management because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our properties, and the impact to operations from trends on occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, thus providing a perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations. We define NOI as operating revenues (including rental revenues, other property-related revenue, tenant recoveries and other operating revenues), less property-level operating expenses (which includes external management fees, if any, and property-level general and administrative expenses). NOI excludes corporate general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairments, gain/loss on sale of real estate, interest expense, acquisition-related expenses and other non-operating items. We believe that NOI on a cash basis (which we define as NOI on a GAAP basis, adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments required by GAAP) is helpful to investors as an additional measure of operating performance. Management further evaluates NOI by evaluating the performance from the following property groups:

Same-store properties, which include all of the properties owned and included in our stabilized portfolio as of April 1, 2015 and still owned and included in the stabilized portfolio as of June 30, 2016 . For the three months ended June 30, 2016 , same-store properties include the activity from the EOP Acquisition.

Non-same-store properties, development projects, redevelopment properties and lease-up properties as of June 30, 2016 and other properties not owned or not in operation from April 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 .

The following table presents our NOI for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and a reconciliation of NOI to net income (loss):

Total NOI decreased $1.1 million , or 1% , for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily due to:

A $3.8 million , or 7% , increase in NOI from our same-store office properties resulting primarily from the rental income related to new leases signed at our 1455 Market property (Uber), Concourse property (Sikka Software, Edwards Vacuum and Marsh USA), and Skyport Plaza property (Qualcomm) at higher rents than expiring rents. Additionally, tenant recoveries increased due to higher overall operating expenses and increases in occupancy. The increase was partially offset by straight-line rent write-off related to our Howard Street property (Heald College).

A $5.4 million , or 14% , decrease in NOI from our non-same-store office store properties resulting primarily from the sales of our Bay Park Plaza (sold in September 2015), Bayhill Office Center (sold in January 2016), and One Bay Plaza (sold in June 2016) properties, partially offset by new leases signed at our Page Mill property (Toyota) and 2180 Sand Hill Road property (Zoox) at higher rents than expiring rents.

A $0.4 million , or 14% increase in NOI from our same-store media and entertainment properties resulting primarily from a result of lease-up of Sunset Bronson and Sunset Gower. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company decided to take certain buildings and stages off line to facilitate our ICON development and other longer-term plans for the Sunset Bronson property. Other property-related revenues increased primarily due to completed parking structures at Sunset Bronson and Sunset Gower.

Office NOI
    
Same-Store

Office rental revenue increased $3.8 million , or 6% , to $72.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $68.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase is primarily due to rental income relating to new leases signed at our 1455 Market property (Uber), Concourse property (Sikka Software, Edwards Vacuum, and Marsh U

49



SA), and Skyport Plaza property (Qualcomm) at higher rents than expiring rents. The increase was partially offset by straight-line rent write-off related to our Howard Street property (Heald College).

Office tenant recoveries increased $2.7 million , or 21% , to $15.4 million for three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase is primarily related to higher overall operating expenses and increases in occupancy.

Office parking and other revenue decreased by $0.5 million , or 10% , to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 .

Office operating expenses increased by $2.1 million , or 8% , to $29.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $27.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to general increases in occupancy, increase in ground rent expense, and increased hiring and salaries.

Non-Same-Store

Office rental revenue decreased by $5.8 million , or 11% , to $45.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $51.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase is primarily due to the sale of Bay Park Plaza (sold in September 2015), Bayhill Office Center (sold in January 2016) and One Bay Plaza (sold in June 2016) properties, partially offset by rental income relating to new leases signed at our Page Mill property (Toyota) and 2180 Sand Hill Road property (Zoox) at higher rents than expiring rents.

Office tenant recoveries increased $0.8 million , or 17% , to $5.9 million for three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase is primarily due to increased occupancy and operating expenses, partially offset by the sale of Bay Park Plaza (September 2015), Bayhill Office Center (January 2016) and One Bay Plaza (June 2016) properties.

Office parking and other revenue decreased by $0.2 million , or 18% , to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compare to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 .

Office operating expenses increased by $0.3 million , or 1% , to $19.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $18.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase is primarily due to general increases in occupancy and increased hiring and salaries, partially offset by the sale of Bay Park Plaza (sold in September 2015), Bayhill Office Center (sold in January 2016) and One Bay Plaza (sold in June 2016) properties.

Same-Store Media & Entertainment NOI

Media and entertainment, rental revenue, tenant recoveries and other property-related revenue increased by $1.7 million , or 20% , to $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase is primarily related to a  $1.5 million  increase in rental revenue to  $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to higher occupancy at both Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson. In addition, property-related revenues increased by $0.3 million to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to the completion of parking structures at Sunset Bronson and Sunset Gower.
 
Media and entertainment operating expenses increased by $1.2 million , or 24% , to $ 6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to general increases in occupancy.

Other Expenses (Income)

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include wages and salaries for corporate-level employees, accounting, legal and other professional services, office supplies, entertainment, travel and automobile expenses, telecommunications and computer-related expenses, and other miscellaneous items. General and administrative expenses increased $2.6 million , or 25.5% , to $ 13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $ 10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 .

50



The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the adoption of the 2016 OPP, granting of the special one-time retention awards, and increased staffing to meet operational needs arising from growth related to the EOP Acquisition.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $7.5 million , or 10.2% , to $66.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $73.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The decrease was primarily related to depreciation expenses associated with properties sold in September 2015 and during 2016, and increased depreciation expense related to our Howard Street property (Heald College) due to an early termination in the second quarter of 2015.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $3.5 million , or 24.8% , to $17.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $14.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . At June 30, 2016 , we had $2.4 billion of notes payable, compared to $2.1 billion at June 30, 2015 , excluding net deferred financing costs and net unamortized loan premium. The increase was primarily attributable to $725.0 million of term loans and private placement borrowings, partially offset by interest savings related to our repayment of our two-year term loan, refinancing indebtedness associated with our Element LA, repayment of our indebtedness associated with our 901 Market property, pay down on our indebtedness associated with our Sunset Gower/Sunset Bronson property and pay down on our five-year term loan due April 2020. This was partially offset by lower effective interest rates during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015, and increased capitalized interest primarily due to the ICON development during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

Unrealized loss on ineffective portion of derivative instruments

During the three months ended June 30, 2016 , we incurred an expense of $0.4 million related to a portion of our derivative instruments that were evaluated to be ineffective in 2016.

Acquisition-related expenses

Acquisition-related expenses decreased by $37.4 million , or 100% , to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $37.5 million for three months ended June 30, 2015 . We incurred $37.5 million of acquisition-related expenses associated with the EOP Acquisition and $0.1 million of acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition of our 11601 Wilshire Boulevard property purchased on July 1, 2016.

Gains (loss) on sale of real estate

During the second quarter of 2016, we completed the sale of our Patrick Henry Drive property and One Bay Plaza property, which collectively generated gains of $2.2 million on sale of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a $0.6 million loss on sale of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 resulting from an adjustment recognized on the sale of our First Financial property, which was sold in the first quarter of 2015.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2016 to the six months ended June 30, 2015
    
Consolidated Net Operating Income

Management evaluates NOI by evaluating the performance from the following property groups for the comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2016 to the six months ended June 30, 2015 results of operations:

Same-store properties, which include all of the properties owned and included in our stabilized portfolio as of January 1, 2015 and still owned and included in the stabilized portfolio as of June 30, 2016 .

Non-same-store properties, development projects, redevelopment properties and lease-up properties as of June 30, 2016 and other properties not owned or not in operation from January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 . For the six months ended June 30, 2016 , non-same-store properties include the activity from the EOP Acquisition.

Total NOI increased $59.1 million , or 42% , for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily due to:

A $4.5 million , or 7% , increase in NOI from our same-store office properties resulting primarily from rental income related to new leases signed at our 1455 Market (Uber) property, 625 Second Street property (Anaplan and Metamarkets) at higher rents than expiring leases, and increased tenant recoveries due to a one-time property tax recoveries resulting from the reassessment of the Technicolor property in 2016. The increase was partially offset by straight-line rent write-off related to our Howard Street property (Heald College).

A $52.8 million , or 75% , increase in NOI from our non-same-store office store properties resulting primarily from the EOP Acquisition. The remaining increase is as a result of lease-up of our Element LA property (Riot Games), 901 Market property (Saks), Page Mill (Toyota), Skyway (Zoox), and Lockheed property. This increase was partially offset by the sale of our First Financial property (sold in March 2015) and our sale of Bay Park Plaza (sold in September 2015), Bayhill Office Center (sold in January 2016), and One Bay Plaza (sold in June 2016).

A $1.8 million , or 26% , increase in NOI from our same-store media and entertainment properties resulting primarily from the lease-up of Sunset Bronson and Sunset Gower. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company decided to take certain buildings and stages off line to facilitate our ICON development and other longer-term plans for the Sunset Bronson property. In addition, other property-related revenues increased primarily due to the completion of parking structures at Sunset Bronson and Sunset Gower. The increase in other property-related revenue largely resulted from higher production activity and revenues associated with lighting and grip at Sunset Bronson.

Office NOI
    
Same-Store

Office rental revenue increased $4.2 million , or 6% , to $79.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $74.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase is primarily due to rental income relating to new leases signed at our 1455 Market (Uber) property and 629 Second Street property (Anaplan and Metamarkets) at higher rents than expiring leases. The increase was partially offset by a straight-line rent write-off related to the Howard Street property (Heald College) recognized in the second quarter of 2015.

Office tenant recoveries increased $2.7 million , or 23% , to $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase is primarily related to a one-time property tax recoveries resulting from the reassessment of the Technicolor property in 2016. The remaining increase in tenant recoveries is related to various same-store properties increases in occupancy and operating expenses.

Office parking and other revenue decreased by $0.4 million , 5% , to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Office operating expenses increased by $2.1 million , or 6% , to $35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to general increases in occupancy.

Non-Same-Store

Office rental revenue increased $68.5 million , or 79% , to $155.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $86.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase is primarily due to the EOP Acquisition and 100% occupancy at our Element LA property, partially offset by the sale of our First Financial property (sold in March 2015), Bay Park Plaza (sold in September 2015), Bayhill Office Center (sold in January 2016), and One Bay Plaza (sold in June 2016).

Office tenant recoveries increased $15.2 million , or 131% , to $26.9 million for six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase is primarily due to the EOP Acquisition and 100% occupancy at our Element LA property, partially offset by the sale of our First Financial property (sold in March 2015), Bay Park Plaza (sold in September 2015), Bayhill Office Center (sold in January 2016), and One Bay Plaza (sold in June 2016).

Office parking and other revenue was flat at $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 , respectively.

Office operating expenses increased by $30.9 million , or 103% , to $60.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $30.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase is primarily due to the EOP Acquisition and 100% occupancy at our Element LA property, partially offset by the sale of our First Financial property (sold in March 2015), Bay Park Plaza (sold in September 2015), Bayhill Office Center (sold in January 2016), and One Bay Plaza (sold in June 2016).

Same-Store Media & Entertainment NOI

Media and entertainment rental revenue, tenant recoveries and other property-related revenue increased by $3.0 million , or 17% , to $21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $18.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase is primarily due to a  $2.0 million increase in rental revenues to $12.9 million and a $1.1 million increase in other property-related revenue to  $7.8 million . The increase in rental revenue is primarily due to higher occupancy at Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson. The increase in other property-related revenue largely resulted from higher production activity and revenues associated with lighting and grip at Sunset Bronson during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015.
 
Media and entertainment operating expenses increased by $1.2 million , or 11% , to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to general increases in occupancy.

Other Expenses (Income)

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expense include wages and salaries for corporate-level employees, accounting, legal and other professional services, office supplies, entertainment, travel and automobile expenses, telecommunications and computer-related expenses, and other miscellaneous items. General and administrative expenses increased $5.9 million , or 30% , to $25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the adoption of the 2016 OPP, granting of the special one-time retention awards, and increased staffing to meet operational needs arising from growth related to the EOP Acquisition.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $43.7 million , or 48% , to $134.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $90.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase was primarily related to depreciation expenses associated with properties in the EOP Acquisition. The remaining increase is related to tenant improvement depreciation expense associated with the lease-up of our Element LA and 1455 Market properties, partially offset by the reduction of depreciation expense as a result of the sale of our First Financial (sold in March 2015) and 2016 disposed properties, and increased depreciation expense related to our Howard Street property (Heald College) due to an early termination in the second quarter of 2015.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $15.3 million , or 78% , to $34.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . At June 30, 2016 , we had $2.4 billion of notes payable, compared to $2.1 billion at June 30, 2015 , excluding net deferred financing costs and net unamortized loan premium. The increase was primarily attributable to $725.0 million of term loans and private placement borrowings, partially offset by interest savings related to our repayment of our two-year term loan, repayment of our indebtedness associated with our 901 Market property, paydown on our indebtedness associated with our Sunset Gower/Sunset Bronson property, paydown on our five-year term loan due April 2020, our repayment of indebtedness associated with our 275 Brannan property and repayment of debt associated with the sale of First Financial (sold in March 2015). This was partially offset by lower effective interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015 and higher capitalized interest primarily due to the ICON development during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015.

Unrealized loss on ineffective portion of derivative instruments

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , we incurred an expense of $2.5 million related to a portion of our derivative instruments that were evaluated and deemed to be ineffective in 2016.

Acquisition-related expenses

Acquisition-related expenses decreased by $43.5 million , or 100% , to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $43.5 million for six months ended June 30, 2015 . We incurred $43.5 million of acquisition-related expenses associated with the EOP Acquisition and incurred $0.1 million of acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition of our 11601 Wilshire Boulevard property purchased on July 1, 2016.

Gains on sale of real estate

During 2016 we completed the sale of our Bayhill Office Center, Patrick Henry Drive and One Bay Plaza properties, which generated gains of $8.5 million on sale of real estate for six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a $22.1 million gain on sale of real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 resulting from the sale of our First Financial property.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had $337.4 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2016 .

As of June 30, 2016 , we had total borrowing capacity of $400.0 million under our unsecured revolving credit facility, $ 250.0 million of which had been drawn.

We have an at-the-market equity offering program, or ATM program, that allows us to sell up to $125.0  million of common stock, $14.5 million of which has been sold as of June 30, 2016 .

On January 20, 2016, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to buy up to $100.0 million  of our outstanding common stock. No share repurchases were made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 .

We intend to use the unsecured revolving credit facility and ATM program, among other things, to finance the acquisition of other properties, to provide funds for tenant improvements and capital expenditures, and to provide for working capital and other corporate purposes.

Based on the closing price of our common stock of $29.18 on June 30, 2016 , our ratio of pro-rata debt to total market capitalization was approximately 34.8% (counting series A preferred units as debt). Our total market capitalization is defined as the sum of the market value of our outstanding common stock (which may decrease, thereby increasing our pro-rata debt to total capitalization ratio), including restricted stock that we may issue to certain of our directors and executive officers, plus the aggregate value of common units not owned by us, plus the liquidation preference of outstanding series A preferred units, plus the book value of our total consolidated indebtedness. Our pro-rata debt is defined as total debt excluding our minority interest in the joint ventures of Pinnacle properties.

Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT status, capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash and, if necessary, by drawing upon our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements using our unsecured revolving credit facility pending permanent financing.

We believe we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity. However, our ability to incur additional debt will be dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. Our ability to access the equity capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about us.

Outstanding Indebtedness

Our indebtedness creates the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on or other amounts in respect of our indebtedness and other obligations. In addition, we may incur additional debt from time to time to finance strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or for other purposes, subject to the restrictions contained in the documents governing our indebtedness. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase.

As of June 30, 2016 , we had outstanding notes payable of $2.4 billion (before $19.1 million of deferred financing costs, net), of which $1.4 billion , or 60.2% , was variable rate debt. $839.5 million of the variable rate debt is subject to the interest rate contracts described in Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements—Derivative Instruments.

The following table sets forth information as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 with respect to our outstanding indebtedness, excluding net deferred financing costs related to as of June 30, 2016 , and unsecured revolving credit facility and undrawn term loans as of December 31, 2015 .

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $44.2 million to $107.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $63.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in cash NOI, as defined, from our office properties, arising primarily from the acquisition of EOP Northern California portfolio, increased occupancy and higher rental revenue across our portfolio. In addition, in 2016 we had lower acquisition-related costs.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities increased by $1,908.3 million to $160.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to net cash used by investing activities of $1,748.0 million for six months ended June 30, 2015 . The net cash provided by investing activities in 2016 was primarily attributable to cash provided from the dispositions of Bayhill Office Center, Patrick Henry Drive, and One Bay Plaza and cash proceeds from the repayment of our notes receivable, partially offset by cash used for additions to investment in real estate, contributions to our unconsolidated entity and payment of security deposit for the 11601 Wilshire Boulevard acquisition. The cash used by investing activities in 2015 was primarily attributable to the acquisition of the EOP Northern California portfolio, partially offset by cash provided by the First Financial disposition.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $1.69 billion to $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.71 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The change was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from notes payables, increase in payments of notes payables, and repurchase of common units in our operating partnership in 2016, increase in dividends paid to common stockholders and unitholders, decrease in contributions to non-controlling consolidated entities, and a decrease in proceeds from sale of common stock.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

During the three months ended June 30, 2016 , there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the information regarding specified contractual obligations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 .

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates of certain items and judgments as to certain future events, for example with respect to the allocation of the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings, improvements, equipment, and any related intangible assets and liabilities, or the effect of a property tax reassessment of our properties. These determinations, even though inherently subjective and prone to change, affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. While we believe that our estimates are based on reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time they are made, some of our assumptions, estimates and judgments will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, actual outcomes will likely differ from our accruals, and those differences—positive or negative—could be material. Some of our accruals are subject to adjustment, as we believe appropriate based on revised estimates and reconciliation to the actual results when available.

In addition, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect certain of our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have not made any material changes to these policies during the periods covered by this Report.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds From Operations

We calculate FFO in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. We believe that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of our activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.
    
Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, we believe that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of our performance relative to our competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide. The Company uses FFO per share to calculate annual cash bonuses for certain employees.
    
However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance because it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations.

The following table presents our FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and a reconciliation of FFO to net income:

SECTION 8.
PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES .
Section 8.1.    Maturity . As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date thereof.
Section 8.2.    Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount . The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any, determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 17. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Company as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount, if any, due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Any such notice of prepayment delivered in connection with a refinancing, the proceeds of which are to be used to make such prepayment, may be made, if expressly so stated in such notice to be, contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing and may be revoked by the Company in the event such refinancing is not consummated, provided that such notice of revocation is in writing and no notice of prepayment may be revoked after the third Business Day prior to the date specified in such notice of prepayment for the prepayment of the Notes. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of one of its Senior Financial Officers specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the scheduled prepayment date for the prepayment of any Note pursuant to this Section 8.2 is 15 days or less from its Maturity Date, then no Make-Whole Amount shall be due and payable in connection with such prepayment.

-23-



Section 8.3.    Allocation of Partial Prepayments . In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. In the case of any partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.7, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated only among the Notes of the holders that have elected to participate in such prepayment.
Section 8.4.    Maturity; Surrender, Etc .     In the case of each optional prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.
Section 8.5.    Purchase of Notes . The Company will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 10 Business Days. If the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 10 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.
Section 8.6.    Make-Whole Amount .
“Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:
“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

-24-



“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.
“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.
If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.
“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (1) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (2) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

-25-



“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 12.1.
“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.
Section 8.7.    Offer to Prepay Notes in the Event of a Change in Control.
(a)     Notice of Change in Control . The Company will, not later than 10 Business Days after any Responsible Officer thereof has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice of such Change in Control (a “Change in Control Notice” ) to each holder of Notes. Each Change in Control Notice shall contain and constitute an offer by the Company to prepay the Notes as described in Section 8.7(b) and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in Section 8.7(f).
(b)     Offer to Prepay Notes . The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by Section 8.7(a) shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.7, all, but not less than all, Notes held by each holder on a date specified in such offer (the “Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date” ), which date shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such offer (or if the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the Business Day nearest to the 30th day after the date of such offer).
(c)     Acceptance; Rejection . A holder of Notes may accept or reject the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Company no fewer than 10 days prior to the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to so respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder.
(d)     Prepayment . Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment but without any Make-Whole Amount or premium. The prepayment shall be made on the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, except as provided by Section 8.7(e).
(e)     Deferral Pending Change in Control . If the Change in Control Notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control, the obligation of the Company to prepay Notes pursuant to the offers required by Section 8.7(b) and accepted in accordance with Section 8.7(c) is subject to the occurrence of the Change in Control in respect of which such offers and acceptances shall have been made. In the event that such Change in Control does not occur on the Change in

-26-



Control Proposed Prepayment Date in respect thereof, the prepayment shall be deferred until, and shall be made on the date on which, such Change in Control occurs. The Company shall keep each holder of Notes reasonably and timely informed of (1) any such deferral of the date of prepayment, (2) the date on which such Change in Control and the prepayment are expected to occur and (3) any determination by Hudson REIT that efforts to effect such Change in Control have ceased or been abandoned (in which case the offers and acceptances made pursuant to this Section 8.7 in respect of such Change in Control automatically shall be deemed rescinded without penalty or other liability).
(f)     Officer’s Certificate . Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer, specifying (1) the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, (2) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.7 and that failure by a holder to respond to such offer by the deadline established in Section 8.7(c) shall result in such offer to such holder being deemed rejected, (3) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid, (4) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, (5) that the conditions of this Section 8.7 required to be fulfilled prior to the giving of the Change in Control Notice have been fulfilled and (6) in reasonable detail, the general nature and date of the Change in Control.
(g)    “ Change in Control ” means:
(1)    any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) excluding the Specified Existing Investors, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that a Person will be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all securities that such Person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), directly or indirectly, of more than 40% of the total voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of Hudson REIT;
(2)    the Specified Existing Investors become the owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of Hudson REIT (for the purposes of clarity, the Specified Existing Investors shall not be deemed to be the owner of any voting stock of Hudson REIT merely as a result of having the right to acquire, either immediately or after the passage of time, shares of such voting stock); or
(3)    the occurrence of any “change of control,” “change in management” or similar event under any Material Credit Facility.
Section 8.8.     Payments Due on Non-Business Days . Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) subject to clause (b), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (b) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on

-27-



any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying this Section 20.

In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

Section 22.4.    Construction, Etc .

Section 22.5.    Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

In no event shall a Property valued pursuant to clause (a) of this definition above be less than zero.
“Unencumbered NOI” means, for any period the aggregate NOI from the Unencumbered Pool Properties and all other unencumbered assets for the most recent two fiscal quarters annualized. To the extent that an Unencumbered Pool Property has been owned for at least one month, but not for a full fiscal quarter, the NOI from that Property for such period of ownership will be annualized.

A-24




If the Property has not been owned for one full month, NOI shall be based on a pro forma NOI approved by the Required Holders, provided that any pro forma NOI approved by the administrative agents under each Material Credit Facility shall be deemed to be approved by the Required Holders.
