_____________
(1) | Interest rate with respect to indebtedness is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest rates are as of December 31, 2016, which may be different than the interest rates as of December 31, 2015 for corresponding indebtedness.
(2) | The Company has the option to make an irrevocable election to change the interest rate depending on the Company’s credit rating. As of December 31, 2016, no such election had been made.
(3) | The maturity date may be extended once for an additional one-year term.
(4) | Effective May 1, 2015, $300.0 million of the term loan has been effectively fixed at 2.66% to 3.56% per annum through the use of an interest rate swap. In July 2016, the Company amended this interest rate swap to add a 0.00% floor to one-month LIBOR, and then de-designated the original swap and designated the amended swap as a hedge in order to minimize the ineffective portion of the original derivative instrument related to this loan. 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. See Note 6 for details.
(5) | Effective May 1, 2015, the outstanding balance of the term loan has been effectively fixed at 3.21% to 4.16% per annum through the use of an interest rate swap. In July 2016, the Company amended this interest rate swap to add a 0.00% floor to one-month LIBOR, and then de-designated the original swap and designated the amended swap as a hedge in order to minimize the ineffective portion of the original derivative instrument related to this loan. Therefore, the effective interest rate increased to a range of 3.36% to 4.31% per annum. See Note 6 for details.
(6) | Effective June 1, 2016, the outstanding balance of the term loan has been effectively fixed at 3.03% to 3.98% per annum through the use of an interest rate swap. See Note 6 for details.
(7) | Monthly debt service includes annual debt amortization payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule with a balloon payment at maturity.
(8) | This loan bears interest only. Interest on the full loan amount has been effectively fixed at 3.71% per annum through use of an interest rate swap. See Note 6 for details.
(9) | This loan bears interest only for the first five years. Beginning with the payment due December 6, 2017, monthly debt service will include annual debt amortization payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule with a balloon payment at maturity.
(10) | The Company owns 65% of the ownership interests in the consolidated joint venture that owns the Pinnacle I and II properties. The full amount of the loan is shown.
(11) | Represents unamortized premium amount of the non-cash mark-to-market adjustment.
(12) | The Company owns 55% of the ownership interest in the consolidated joint venture that owns the Hill7 property. The full amount of the loan is shown.

Current Year Activity On May 3, 2016, the Company drew on the $175.0 million 5-Year Term Loan due November 2020 and $125.0 million 7-Year Term Loan due November 2022, both of which were entered into on November 17, 2015. Amounts drawn were used to fully pay down $30.0 million of the 901 Market Street mortgage loan that was set to mature on October 31, 2016, to partially pay down $110.0 million of the Sunset Gower Studios/Sunset Bronson Studios mortgage loans and $100.0 million of the 5-Year Term Loan due April 2020. On June 7, 2016, Pinnacle II Hudson MC Partners, the Company’s consolidated joint venture, entered into an $87.0 million ten-year mortgage loan secured by its Pinnacle II office property. This new loan has a maturity date of June 11, 2026 and bears a fixed rate of 4.30% per annum with interest only payable every month during the term of the loan and principal payment at maturity. Proceeds were used to fully pay down the previous loan secured by the Company’s Pinnacle II office property that was scheduled to mature on September 6, 2016. On July 6, 2016, the Company entered into a private placement of debt for $150.0 million of 3.98% guaranteed senior notes due July 6, 2026. The $150.0 million was drawn on July 6, 2016. Proceeds were used to pay down the unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company also secured an additional $50.0 million of funds from a private placement of 3.66% guaranteed senior notes due September 15, 2023, which was drawn on September 15, 2016. Proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding under its unsecured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. On October 7, 2016, the Company acquired Hill7 property through a consolidated joint venture. In conjunction with the acquisition, the joint venture closed a $101.0 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 3.38% per annum. This loan bears interest only payable every month during the term of the loan and principal payment at maturity. Indebtedness The Company presents its financial statements on a consolidated basis. Notwithstanding such presentation, except to the extent expressly indicated, such as in the case of the project financing for Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios, the Company’s separate property-owning subsidiaries are not obligors of or under the debt of their respective affiliates and each property-owning subsidiary’s separate liabilities do not constitute obligations of its respective affiliates. Loan agreements include events of default that the Company believes are usual for loan and transactions of this type. As of the date of this filing, there have been no events of default associated with the Company’s loans. Certain loan agreements require that some or all receipts collected from properties are deposited in lockbox accounts under the control of the lenders to fund reserves such as capital improvements, taxes, insurance, debt service and operating expenditures. Included in restricted cash on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are lockbox and reserve funds as follows:

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Agreement Term Loan Agreement On November 17, 2015, the operating partnership entered into a term loan credit agreement with a group of lenders for an unsecured $175.0 million five-year delayed draw term loan with a maturity date of November 2020 (“5-Year Term Loan due November 2020”) and an unsecured $125.0 million seven-year delayed draw term loan with a maturity date of November 2022 (“7-Year Term Loan due November 2022”). These term loans were fully drawn on May 3, 2016. Interest on the term loan agreement is generally to be paid based upon, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR margin or (ii) a specified base rate plus the applicable base rate margin, dependent on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio. The applicable LIBOR margin will range from 1.30% to 2.20% for the 5-Year Term Loan due November 2020, depending on our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the term loan agreement) and 1.60% to 2.55% for the 7-Year Term Loan due November 2022, depending on our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the term loan agreement). Beginning on February 13, 2016, each term loan is subject to an unused commitment fee of .20%. The operating partnership has the right to terminate or reduce unused commitments under either term loan in the term loan agreement without penalty or premium. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the operating partnership has the right to increase the availability of either or both of the term loans so long as the aggregate commitments under both term loans do not exceed $475.0 million. If the Company obtains a credit rating for the Company’s senior unsecured long-term indebtedness, the operating partnership may make an irrevocable election to change the interest rate. During 2016, our senior unsecured long-term indebtedness was assigned an investment grade rating. The Company has not made the credit rating election. A&R Credit Agreement The operating partnership maintains and periodically amends its A&R Credit Agreement with a group of lenders. On April 1, 2015, the agreement governing the credit facility was amended and restated to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the A&R Credit Agreement with a one-year extension option, (ii) increase available revolving credit from $300.0 million to $400.0 million, (iii) increase the five-year term loan facility from $150.0 million to $550.0 million and extended the maturity date to April 2020 (“5-Year Term Loan due April 2020”) and (iv) add a $350.0 million seven-year term loan with a maturity date of April 2022 (“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 term loan agreement. The 5-Year Term Loan due April 2020 and the 7-Year Term Loan due April 2022 were used towards the EOP Acquisition. The A&R Credit Agreement is available for other purposes, including for payment of redevelopment and development costs incurred in connection with properties owned by the operating partnership or any subsidiary, to finance capital expenditures and the repayment of indebtedness of the Company, the operating partnership and its subsidiaries, to provide for general working capital needs of the Company, the operating partnership and its subsidiaries and for the general corporate purposes of the Company, the operating partnership and its subsidiaries, and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. Interest on the Amended Credit Facility is generally to be paid based upon, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR margin or (ii) a specified base rate plus the applicable base rate margin, dependent on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio. The applicable LIBOR margin will range from 1.15% to 1.85% (previously 1.15% to 1.55%) for the A&R Credit Agreement, 1.30% to 2.20% (previously 1.30% to 1.90%) for the 5-Year Term Loan due April 2020, depending on our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility) and 1.60% to 2.55% for the 7-Year Term Loan due April 2022, depending on our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility). The Amended Facility requires a facility fee in an amount equal to 0.20% or 0.35% of the operating partnership’s revolving credit commitments depending on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio. Unused amounts under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility are not subject to a separate fee. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and lender commitments, the operating partnership may increase the availability of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility so long as the aggregate commitments under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility do not exceed $2.0 billion. If the Company obtains a credit rating for the Company’s senior unsecured long-term indebtedness, the operating partnership may make an irrevocable election to change the interest rate and facility fee. During 2016, our senior unsecured long-term indebtedness was assigned an investment grade rating. The Company has not made the credit rating election. The operating partnership continues to be the borrower under the New Credit Agreement and the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, and the Company and all subsidiaries that own unencumbered properties will continue to provide guaranties unless the Company obtains and maintains a credit rating of at least BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Moody’s, in which case such guaranties are not required except under limited circumstances. Guaranteed Senior Notes On November 16, 2015, the operating partnership entered into a note purchase agreement with various purchasers, which provides for the private placement of $425.0 million of guaranteed senior notes by the operating partnership, of which (i) $110.0 million are designated as 4.34% Series A guaranteed senior notes due January 2, 2023 (the “Series A Notes”), (ii) $259.0 million are designated as 4.69% Series B guaranteed senior notes due December 16, 2025 (the “Series B Notes”) and (iii) $56.0 million are designated as 4.79% Series C guaranteed senior notes due December 16, 2027 (the “Series C Notes”). These 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. Additional guaranteed senior notes were issued in 2016; for further detail, refer to the current activity section above. The operating partnership may prepay at any time all or, from time to time, any part of the guaranteed senior notes in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of any series of guaranteed senior notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid plus a make-whole premium. The operating partnership’s obligations under guaranteed senior notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. Subsidiaries of the Company will also issue unconditional guarantees upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including such subsidiaries providing guarantees under the New Credit Agreement and Amended and Restated Credit Facility, by and among the operating partnership, the financial institutions party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent. Debt Covenants The operating partnership’s ability to borrow under the term loan agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, and guaranteed senior notes 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. The operating partnership was in compliance with its financial covenants at December 31, 2016. Repayment Guaranties Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios Loan In connection with the loan secured by the Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios 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. At December 31, 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 Although the rest of the operating partnership’s loans are secured and non-recourse, the operating partnership provides limited customary secured debt guarantees for items such as voluntary bankruptcy, fraud, misapplication of payments and environmental liabilities.
