Exhibit 10.93
(d) Registration. The Participant understands that the Performance Units have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Performance Units cannot be transferred by the Participant unless such transfer is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Partnership has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register the transfer of the Performance Units under the Securities Act. The Partnership has made no representations, warranties, or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the Securities Act, including, without limitation, any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, will be available. If an exemption under Rule 144 is available at all, it will not be available until at least six months from issuance of the Award and then not unless the terms and conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied.

(f) Tax Advice. The Partnership has made no warranties or representations to the Participant with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to the decision of whether to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code), and the Participant is in no manner relying on the Partnership or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences. Participant hereby recognizes that the Internal Revenue Service has proposed regulations under Sections 83 and 704 of the Code that may affect the proper treatment of the Performance Units for federal income tax purposes. In the event that those proposed regulations are finalized, the Participant hereby agrees to cooperate with the Partnership in amending this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, and to take such other action as may be required, to conform to such regulations. Participant hereby further recognizes that the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that would change the federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of Performance Units. The Participant is advised to consult with his or her own tax advisor with respect to such tax consequences and his or her ownership of the Performance Units.
3.3 Capital Account. The Participant shall make no contribution of capital to the Partnership in connection with the Award and, as a result, the Participant’s Capital Account balance in the Partnership immediately after its receipt of the Performance Units shall be equal to zero, unless the Participant was a Partner in the Partnership prior to such issuance, in which case the Participant’s Capital Account balance shall not be increased as a result of its receipt of the Performance Units.
3.4 Redemption Rights. Notwithstanding the contrary terms in the Partnership Agreement, Partnership Units which are acquired upon the conversion of the Performance Units shall not, without the consent of the Partnership (which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion), be redeemed pursuant to Section 15.1 of the Partnership Agreement within two years of the date of the issuance of such Performance Units.

5

Exhibit 10.93
election under Section 83(b) of the Code and similar state tax provisions. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s sole responsibility, and not the Company’s or the Partnership’s, to timely file an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (and any comparable state election), even if the Participant requests that the Company or the Partnership, or any representative of the Company or the Partnership, make such filing on the Participant’s behalf. The Participant should consult his or her tax advisor to determine if there is a comparable election to file in the state of his or her residence.
3.6 Ownership Information. The Participant hereby covenants that so long as the Participant holds any Performance Units, at the request of the Partnership, the Participant shall disclose to the Partnership in writing such information relating to the Participant’s ownership of the Performance Units as the Partnership reasonably believes to be necessary or desirable to ascertain in order to comply with the Code or the requirements of any other appropriate taxing authority.
3.7 Execution and Return of Documents and Certificates. At the Company’s or the Partnership’s request, the Participant hereby agrees to promptly execute, deliver and return to the Partnership any and all documents or certificates that the Company or the Partnership deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the cancellation and forfeiture of the unvested Performance Units and the portion of the Award attributable to the unvested Performance Units, and/or to effectuate the transfer or surrender of such unvested Performance Units and portion of the Award to the Partnership.

The Company, the Partnership or any Subsidiary may withhold from the Participant’s wages, or require the Participant to pay to such entity, any applicable withholding or employment taxes resulting from the issuance of the Award hereunder, from the vesting or lapse of any restrictions imposed on, or payment with respect to, the Award, or from the ownership or disposition of the Performance Units.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Participant agrees that the Partnership shall be entitled to obtain specific performance of the obligations of the Participant under this Agreement and immediate injunctive relief in the event any action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce the same. The Participant will not urge as a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law

“The securities represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Any transfer of such securities will be invalid
6

Exhibit 10.93
unless a Registration Statement under the Securities Act is in effect as to such transfer or in the opinion of counsel for Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. (the “Partnership”) such registration is unnecessary in order for such transfer to comply with the Securities Act.”
“The securities represented hereby are subject to forfeiture, transferability and other restrictions as set forth in (i) a written agreement with the Partnership, (ii) the Amended & Restated Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. 2010 Incentive Award Plan and (iii) the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P., in each case, as has been and as may in the future be amended (or amended and restated) from time to time, and such securities may not be sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to the provisions of such documents.”
3.11 Restrictions on Public Sale by the Participant. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, the Participant agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of the Performance Units or any similar security of the Company or the Partnership, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, during the 14 days prior to, and for a period of up to 90 days beginning on, the date of the pricing of any public or private debt or equity securities offering by the Company or the Partnership (except as part of such offering), if and to the extent requested in writing by the Partnership or the Company in the case of a non-underwritten public or private offering or if and to the extent requested in writing by the managing underwriter or underwriters (or initial purchaser or initial purchasers, as the case may be) and consented to by the Partnership or the Company, which consent may be given or withheld in the Partnership’s or the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, in the case of an underwritten public or private offering (such agreement to be in the form of a lock-up agreement provided by the Company, the Partnership, managing underwriter or underwriters, or initial purchaser or initial purchasers, as the case may be).
ARTICLE IV.
MISCELLANEOUS
4.1 Adjustments. The Operational Performance Goals are based upon, among other things, (i) certain assumptions about the future business of the Company, (ii) a management model prepared by the Company for the projected business of the Company and its Affiliates and (iii) the continued application of accounting policies used by the Company as of the first day of the Performance Period. Accordingly, in the event that, after such date, the Administrator determines that any acquisition or disposition of any portfolio property by the Company and/or its Affiliates, any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, common stock, other securities, or other property), any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company, or changes in Applicable Laws, or changes in generally accepted accounting principles applicable to, or the accounting policies used by, the Company occur, such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available with respect to the Awards, then the Administrator may in good faith and in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the applicable “Threshold Level”, “Target Level” and/or “Maximum Level” with respect to the applicable Operational Performance Goal to reflect the effect or projected effect of such transaction(s) or event(s) on such performance levels.
4.2 Section 409A.
7

Exhibit 10.93
(a) To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the effective date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that following the effective date of this Agreement, the Company or the Partnership determines that the Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the effective date of this Agreement), the Company or the Partnership may adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Company or the Partnership determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance; provided, however, that this Section 4.2 shall not create any obligation on the part of the Company, the Partnership or any Subsidiary to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action, and none of the Company, the Partnership or any Subsidiary shall have any obligation to indemnify any person for any taxes imposed under or by operation of Section 409A of the Code.
(b) Potential Six-Month Delay.

If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of such six-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A of the Code without being subject to such additional taxes), the Company shall pay to the Participant in a lump-sum all amounts that would have otherwise been payable to the Participant during such six-month period under this Agreement.
4.3 Not a Contract of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue to serve as an Employee or other service provider of the Company, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, the Partnership or their Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided to the contrary in a written agreement between the Company, the Partnership or an Affiliate, on the one hand, and the Participant on the other.
4.4 Governing Law. The laws of the State of Maryland shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.
4.5 Incorporation of Terms of Plan; Authority of Administrator. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference, including without limitation Section 13.2 of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control. In accordance with the Plan (and not in limitation of any other provision), the Administrator shall make all determinations under this Agreement in its sole and absolute discretion and all interested parties shall be bound by such determinations.

Exhibit 10.93
APPENDIX I
Vesting of Relative TSR Performance Units
The number of Relative TSR Performance Units that vest on the Vesting Date and become “Vested Relative TSR Performance Units” based on the achievement of Relative TSR Performance attained by the Company during the Performance Period shall be determined by multiplying the number of Relative TSR Performance Units by the Relative TSR Performance Vesting Percentage, as determined in accordance with the following table.

|  | Relative TSR Performance |  | Relative TSR Performance Vesting Percentage
“Below Threshold” |  | < - 10% |  |  | 0%
“Threshold Level” |  | - 10% |  |  | 15%
“Target Level” |  | 0% |  |  | 40%
“Maximum Level” |  | ≥ 15% |  |  | 100%

In the event that the Relative TSR Performance falls between the Threshold Level and the Target Level or between the Target Level and the Maximum Level, the Relative TSR Performance Vesting Percentage shall be determined using straight line linear interpolation between the applicable levels.
Vesting of Operational Performance Units
The number of Operational Performance Units that vest on the Vesting Date and become “Vested Operational Performance Units” based on the achievement of Operational Performance Goals attained by the Company during the Performance Period shall be determined by multiplying the number of Aggregate Operational Performance Units by the applicable Absolute TSR Performance Vesting Percentage.
The number of “Aggregate Operational Performance Units” with respect to the Operational Performance Period shall be equal to the sum of the number of Banked Performance Units with respect to each Operational Performance Goal. The number of “Banked Performance Units” with respect to each Operational Performance Goal shall be determined by multiplying (i) the product of (x) the number of Operational Performance Units by (y) the applicable Percentage of Operational Performance Units, by (ii) the applicable Operational Performance Vesting Percentage attained during the Operational Performance Period, in each case as determined in accordance with the following tables.

Operational Goal |  | Percentage of Operational Performance Units
Annual Net Debt to Annual Gross Asset Value |  |  | 30%
Leasing Volume |  |  | 30%

“Below Threshold” | > 31.0% | < 1,137,000 sq. ft. | < 81.8% | < 28.5% | > 0.79% | 0%
“Threshold Level” | 31.0% | 1,137,000 sq. ft. | 81.8% | 28.5% | 0.79% | 25%
“Target Level” | 30.0% | 1,208,000 sq. ft. | 83.5% | 30.0% | 0.74% | 50%
“Maximum Level” | ≤ 29.0% | ≥ 1,279,000 sq. ft. | ≥ 85.2% | ≥ 31.5% | ≤ 0.69% | 100%

In the event that the Operational Performance with respect to an Operational Performance Goal falls between the Threshold Level and the Target Level or between the Target Level and the Maximum Level, the applicable Operational Performance Vesting Percentage shall be determined using straight line linear interpolation between the applicable levels.
