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, our 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 March 31, 2015, 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 March 31, 2015, 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. Further, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, approximately 16% and 17%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were derived from tenants in the media and entertainment industry, which makes the Company susceptible to demand for rental space in such industry. Consequently, the Company is subject to the risks associated with an investment in real estate with a concentration of tenants in that industry.

Repayment Guaranties

The Company has entered into certain guarantees for the mortgage loans on Element LA, 275 Brannan, and 901 Market, ranging from 19.5% to 35.0% of the outstanding balance of each loan. The mortgage loan for 275 Brannan was repaid in full subsequent to March 31, 2015. Refer to Note 5 for further details.

Although the rest of our loans are secured and non-recourse to the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Operating Partnership provides limited customary secured debt guarantees for items such as voluntary bankruptcy, fraud, misapplication of payments and environmental liabilities.
