AMENDED AND RESTATED

FIRST MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED FIRST MODIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “First Modification Agreement”) is dated as of June 29,2010, to become effective as of the Modification Closing Date (as defined below), by and between SUNSET BRONSON ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) and WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., successor-in-interest to Wachovia Bank, N.A., a national banking association, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, “Agent”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., successor-in-interest to Wachovia Bank, N.A., a national banking association, as a Lender (in such capacity, “WFB”), under the Loan Agreement referred to below, and with reference to the following facts:

RECITALS

A. Borrower, Agent and WFB (as the sole existing Lender) are the current parties to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of May 12, 2008 (the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms used and not defined in this First Modification Agreement shall have the same meanings that are given to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

B. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Lenders agreed to make Loans to Borrower up to a maximum Aggregate Commitment of $39,000,000, for the purposes described in the Loan Agreement. The Maximum Commitment is currently evidenced by, among other things, a single Note in favor of WFB in the stated principal amount of $39,000,000.

C. The Note and Borrower’s other Obligations under the Loan Documents are secured by that certain Deed of Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing recorded on May 13, 2008, as Instrument No. 2008-0846322 in the Official Records of Los Angeles County, California (the “Original Deed of Trust”).

D. Hudson Sunset Gower, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Original Guarantor”) previously executed in favor of Agent and Lenders (i) that certain Guaranty dated as of May 12, 2008, (the “Guaranty”), and (ii) that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement dated as of May 12, 2008 (the “Environmental Indemnity”).

E. Borrower, Agent and Lenders desire to modify the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents upon the terms and conditions set forth in this First Modification Agreement, effective as of the Modification Closing Date. This First Modification Agreement amends and restates and supersedes in its entirety that certain First Modification Agreement dated and entered into and effective as of the “Modification Closing Date” (as defined therein), entered into by and between the parties hereto on or about June 10, 2010.

F. As used herein, the term “Loan Documents” shall mean the Loan Agreement and all other Loan Documents existing as of the date hereof, together with this First Modification Agreement and all documents executed pursuant to this First Modification Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, with reference to the foregoing Recitals and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this First Modification Agreement, and for other valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Representations. The above statement of facts set forth in the Recitals is true and correct. Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that: (a) all representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Modification Closing Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate specifically to an earlier date), provided that (i) all references therein to “Indemnitor” shall mean and refer to the Operating Partnership (as defined below), which is a limited partnership, duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Maryland and is duly qualified to transact business under the laws of the State of California, and whose chief executive office and principal place of business is 11601 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 1600, Los Angeles, California 90025-0317 (and all representations and warranties made with respect to Indemnitor shall be deemed to made in a manner consistent with the foregoing), (ii) all representations and warranties made with respect to any Loan Document shall be made with reference to such Loan Document as modified by this First Modification Agreement and all other Loan Documents executed pursuant hereto, and (iii) all representations and warranties shall be made taking into account the terms and provisions of this First Modification Agreement and all other Loan Documents executed pursuant hereto; (b) as of the Modification Closing Date (as defined below), no default, Event of Default, breach, or failure of condition shall exist, or would exist with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, under any of the Loan Documents (as modified hereby); and (c) Borrower, TRS Lessee (as defined below) and Operating Partnership, and their respective members and/or partners, have obtained all required authorizations and approvals to enter into and perform their respective obligations under this First Modification Agreement and all other Loan Documents executed pursuant hereto.

2. Modifications. The Loan Documents are modified in the following respects only (to be effective as of the Modification Closing Date):

2.1 Reduction in Aggregate Commitment; No Further Right to Borrow. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, from and after the Modification Closing Date:

(a) the Aggregate Commitment is reduced to equal the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Loans in the amount of $37,000,000, and any unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment is hereby cancelled;

(b) Borrower shall have no right to request, and Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to fund, any further Loans;

 

-2-


(c) The Aggregate Commitment shall hereafter automatically reduce (without the necessity of any further amendments or confirmations) by the amount of each principal payment hereafter made on the Loans from any source; and

(d) The maximum Commitment of each Lender shall automatically reduce (without the necessity of any further amendments or confirmations) to equal its Ratable Share of the Aggregate Commitment as reduced from time to time as described in clause (c) above.

2.2 Interest Rate Changes. Borrower acknowledges that, under the existing definition of “LIBOR Rate” contained in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement, from and after June 1, 2010, the LIBOR Rate can never be less than 5.90% per annum (the “Floor Rate”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as (and only so long as) a Swap Contract (approved by Agent in its sole discretion) that provides only for an interest rate swap (but not an interest rate cap) is in place with respect to all or any portion of the Loans, the portion of the Loans that is subject to such Swap Contract (i.e., the amount of the Loans equal to the notional amount of the Swap Contract) shall not be subject to the Floor Rate (i.e., the effective LIBOR Rate may be less than the Floor Rate with respect to the portion of the Loans that is subject to such Swap Contract). For purposes of clarification, the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply with respect to any Swap Contract that provides for an interest rate cap. Immediately upon the expiration or cancellation of such Swap Contract, however, the portion of the Loans that is no longer subject to such Swap Contract shall again be subject to the Floor Rate. For purposes of clarification, at any particular time, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Loans that is not subject to a Swap Contract approved by Agent as aforesaid shall be subject to the Floor Rate. Borrower’s rights to receive payments on Swap Contracts will be encumbered by the Amended and Restated Deed of Trust, pursuant to the terms thereof. Further, Agent shall have the right, following the occurrence of any Event of Default, to apply any and all payments made by Borrower or otherwise received by Agent and/or Lenders with respect to the Loans and any Swap Contracts, including without limitation all proceeds received from the sale or liquidation of any collateral, to the obligations owing by Borrower under the Loan Documents and Swap Contracts in such order and manner as is deemed appropriate by Agent in its sole discretion, and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right to direct Agent as to such application or to designate the portion of the obligation to be satisfied (and Borrower waives any rights it may have under applicable law or otherwise to do so).

2.3 Options to Extend.

(a) Existing Maturity Date. For clarification purposes, the original Maturity Date (as defined in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement) is May 30, 2010, subject to three 12-month extension options provided in Section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement.

(b) Exercise of First Extension Option. As of the Modification Closing Date, Borrower exercises (and Agent and Lenders accept), subject to the occurrence of the Modification Closing Date, Borrower’s exercise of the first extension option set forth in Section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement, except that the length of the first extension option is hereby reduced from 12 months to 11 months. Therefore, effective as

 

-3-


of the Modification Closing Date, the first Extended Maturity Date (and the then effective Maturity Date) shall be April 30, 2011. In connection with Borrower’s exercise of the first extension option only (i.e., not with respect to Borrower’s second and third extension options), Agent and Lenders hereby waive Borrower’s compliance with the conditions set forth in Sections 2.4(f) and (g) of the Loan Agreement.

(c) Remaining Extension Options. Borrower’s remaining two extension options set forth in Section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement remain in full force and effect, without any changes except solely that the length of Borrower’s second extension option shall be increased from 12 months to 13 months. For purposes of clarification, (i) Borrower’s second extension period (if exercised and assuming that all conditions to extension set forth in Section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement are satisfied) would be from April 30, 2011 to May 30, 2012, and (ii) Borrower’s third extension period (if exercised and assuming that all conditions to extension set forth in Section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement are satisfied) would be from May 30, 2012 to May 30, 2013.

2.4 Ownership Transfers in Borrower.

(a) Approved Ownership Changes in Borrower as of the Modification Closing Date. Agent and Lenders hereby approve the following ownership changes in Borrower. As of the Modification Closing Date, 100% of the membership interest in Borrower shall be transferred to an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P., a newly formed Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). The general partner of the Operating Partnership shall be Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., a newly formed Maryland corporation, which is a real estate investment trust (the “REIT”).

(b) Permitted Ownership Changes in Borrower after the Modification Closing Date. As used herein, “Transfer” shall have the meaning given to such term in Article I of the Amended and Restated Deed of Trust (as defined below). Borrower will not Transfer, or contract to Transfer, or permit any Transfer of, any direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower, TRS Lessee (as defined below), the REIT or the Operating Partnership, except as permitted below. Notwithstanding the restriction on Transfer set forth in the immediately preceding sentence (and notwithstanding the restriction on Transfer set forth in Section 5.2 of the Amended and Restated Deed of Trust), the following Transfers of direct or indirect ownership interests shall be permitted without Agent’s or Lenders’ consent: (i) transfers of direct or indirect interests in Borrower to the Operating Partnership or an Affiliate of the Operating Partnership, provided that the Operating Partnership shall continue to Control (as defined below) Borrower, and that the REIT shall continue to Control Borrower, the Operating Partnership and the TRS Lessee; (ii) issuances and transfers (including pledges) of securities, options, warrants or other interests in the REIT, whether directly or indirectly; (iii) issuances and transfers (including pledges) of partnership interests and other interests in the Operating Partnership, whether directly or indirectly, provided that the REIT shall continue to Control Borrower, the Operating Partnership and the TRS Lessee; and (iv) a merger, consolidation or exchange of securities to which the REIT or the Operating Partnership is a party, as applicable, provided that the surviving entity shall be the REIT

 

-4-


or the Operating Partnership, as applicable, and that the REIT shall continue to Control Borrower, the Operating Partnership and the TRS Lessee. For purposes of this Section 2.4(b), “Control” shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of an entity, whether through the ability to exercise voting power, by contract or otherwise, and “Affiliate” means any entity that, directly or indirectly (including through one or more intermediaries), Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Operating Partnership. Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of the occurrence of any Transfers described above (other than transfers of publicly traded stock in the REIT), and shall provide Agent with any information and/or documentation reasonably requested by Agent in connection with any such Transfer.

(c) Prohibited Change of Control. Borrower shall not permit any Change of Control (as defined below) to occur without the prior written consent of Agent in its sole discretion. As used herein, a “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), excluding the Permitted Investors (as defined below), shall become, or obtain rights (whether by means of warrants, options or otherwise) to become, the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 30% of the outstanding common stock of the REIT; (ii) the board of directors of the REIT shall cease to consist of a majority of Continuing Directors (as defined below); (iii) the REIT or the Operating Partnership shall cease to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity interests of Borrower or the TRS Lessee, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances (other than liens or encumbrances in favor of Agent); or (iv) the REIT shall (A) fail to be sole general partner of the Operating Partnership or cease to own all the general partnership interests of the Operating Partnership or (B) fail to Control the management and policies of the Operating Partnership. As used herein, (i) “Permitted Investors” means, collectively, Farallon Capital Partners, L.P., Farallon Capital Institutional Partners, L.P., Farallon Capital Institutional Partners III, L.P., Morgan Stanley Investment Partnership, Victor J. Coleman, Howard S. Stern, Christopher Barton, Mark T. Lammas, Dale Shimoda, Theodore R. Antenucci, James M. Burnett, Richard B. Fried, Jonathan M. Glaser, Robert M. Moran, Jr., and Barry A. Porter, and their Control Investment Affiliates (as defined below); (ii) “Continuing Directors” means the directors of the REIT on the Modification Closing Date, after giving effect to the other transactions contemplated hereby, and each other director of the REIT, if, in each case, such other director’s nomination for election to the board of directors of the REIT is recommended by at least 66 2/3% of the then Continuing Directors or such other director receives the vote of the Permitted Investors in his or her election by the shareholders of the REIT; and (iii) “Control Investment Affiliate” means, as to any Person, any other Person that (A) directly or indirectly, is in Control of, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with, such Person and (B) is organized by such Person primarily for the purpose of making equity or debt investments in one or more companies.

2.5 Approval of New Guarantor/Indemnitor. Agent and Lenders hereby approve the substitution of the Operating Partnership as the “Indemnitor” under the Loan Documents as of the Modification Closing Date. As a condition to the Modification Closing Date, Operating Partnership shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement with respect to each of the Guaranty (the “Guaranty Amendment”) and the Environmental Indemnity (the “Environmental Indemnity Amendment”), each in form and content substantially similar to the form presented to Borrower by Agent, pursuant to which Operating Partnership shall assume all obligations and liabilities of Original Guarantor (both prior to and after the Modification Closing Date) under the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity. The Guaranty Amendment and the Environmental Indemnity Amendment (a) shall not release Original Guarantor for obligations under the Guaranty or the Environmental Indemnity, and (b) shall contain a general release of Agent and Lenders in substantially the same form as provided by Borrower in Section 4 below. From and after the Modification Closing Date, (i) all references in the Loan Documents to the “Indemnitor” or the “Guarantor” shall mean the Original Guarantor or the Operating Partnership (as applicable under the terms of the Guaranty Amendment and the Environmental Indemnity Amendment), (ii) all references in the Loan Documents to the “Guaranty” shall mean the Guaranty as amended by the Guaranty Amendment, and (iii) all references in the Loan Documents to the “Environmental Indemnity” shall mean the Environmental Indemnity as amended by the Environmental Indemnity Amendment.

2.6 Approval of TRS Lessee Transactions and Delivery of Amended and Restated Deed of Trust. Agent and Lenders acknowledge that effective as of the Modification Closing Date, (i) Borrower will enter into a lease (the “TRS Lease”) between Borrower, as lessor, and a newly formed single purpose entity which will be a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS Lessee”), pursuant to which TRS Lessee will lease certain space within the Project, (ii) Borrower will transfer to TRS Lessee certain personal property, certain rights and obligations under existing license agreements and certain other contractual rights related to the operation of the Project, in each case pursuant to agreements in form and content substantially similar to the forms presented by Borrower to Agent (but including mortgagee provisions in content substantially similar to the provisions present by Agent to Borrower), and (iii) Borrower and TRS Lessee will jointly enter into license agreements (both existing and future license agreements) with third parties (collectively, “License Agreements”) pursuant to which such third parties will lease or license the use of space and/or equipment within the Project and/or will purchase services at the Project. All revenues from the TRS Lease and the License Agreements shall be paid directly into the Cash Management Account, subject to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement referred to in Section 2.7 below. As a condition to the Modification Closing Date, Borrower and TRS Lessee (as defined below) shall execute and deliver to Agent an Amended and Restated Deed of Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, in form and content substantially similar to the form presented by Agent to Borrower (the “Amended and Restated Deed of Trust”). The Amended and Restated Deed of Trust shall encumber all of Borrower’s and TRS Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to the Project, including under the TRS Lease and all License Agreements. From and after the Modification Closing Date, all references in the Loan Documents to the Deed of Trust shall mean the Amended and Restated Deed of Trust.

2.7 Cash Management Account. Effective as of the Modification Closing Date, the existing Cash Management Account with City National Bank shall be closed, and a new Cash Management Account shall be established with Agent. Further, effective as of the

 

-6-


Modification Closing Date, Borrower, TRS Lessee and Agent shall enter into a new Cash Management Agreement, in form and content acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion, that will replace the existing Cash Management Agreement with City National Bank.

2.8 TRS Lessee. Borrower shall not cause or permit the TRS Lessee to own any properties or assets other than personal property and lease/contract rights (including under the TRS Lease and the License Agreements) associated with the operation of the Project and that are encumbered by the Amended and Restated Deed of Trust. Borrower shall not cause or permit any Person other than Borrower or TRS Lessee to (i) hold any ownership interests in or to any real or personal property associated with the operation of the Project, or (ii) enter into any Leases, License Agreements, services agreements or any other contractual agreements pursuant to which revenues are derived in connection with the operation of the Project. Borrower shall cause TRS Lessee to comply with all of the covenants and other provisions of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents that relate to the Project or any interest therein held by TRS Lessee, to the same extent as if Borrower owned such interest.

2.9 Audited Financial Statements of Borrower. From and after the Modification Closing Date, Borrower’s obligation to deliver to Agent audited financial statements of Borrower under Sections 10.9(a)(i), (ii), (iv) and (v) of the Loan Agreement shall be satisfied by delivery of audited consolidated financial statements for the REIT. For purposes of clarification, the immediately preceding sentence does not include reports and other information relating to the operation of the Project, which continue to be required under Sections 10.9(a)(iii), (b), (c) and (d) of the Loan Agreement, and any other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents.

The occurrence of the Modification Closing Date shall not waive Borrower’s obligations to comply with any of the following conditions which for any reason are not satisfied by the Modification Closing Date (except to the extent expressly waived by Agent in the manner provided above), which obligations of Borrower shall continue following the Modification Closing Date. The Modification Closing Date shall be deemed to occur on the date on which the Amended and Restated Deed of Trust is recorded or released for recording by Agent (whichever is earlier):

5.5 Agent’s receipt of an extension fee (for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders) for Borrower’s exercise of the first extension option pursuant to Section 2.3(b) above, in an amount equal to 0.25% of the total outstanding principal balance of the Loans as of the Modification Closing Date;

6. Modification of Loan Documents. The Loan Documents are hereby supplemented, amended and modified to incorporate the provisions of this First Modification Agreement, which shall supersede and prevail over any conflicting provisions of the Loan Documents. Except as otherwise specifically modified by this First Modification Agreement, all terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. Except as specifically indicated, nothing contained in this First Modification Agreement shall in any way impair the Loan Documents or alter, waive, annul, vary, affect or impair any provision, condition, or covenant contained therein or any right, power, or remedy granted therein. The obligations and covenants of this First Modification Agreement are in addition to (and are not in substitution of) the obligations and covenants under the Loan Documents. All references in the Loan Documents to the Loan Agreement, the Notes, the Deed of Trust and any other terms used herein or documents described herein shall be deemed to be references to such terms and/or documents as amended by or pursuant to this First Modification Agreement. Further, all references in the Loan Documents to the “Loan Documents” shall include, in addition to all other Loan Documents existing as of the date hereof, this First Modification Agreement and all documents executed pursuant to this First Modification Agreement (including the Amended and Restated Deed of Trust, the new Cash Management Agreement, the Guaranty Amendment and the Environmental Indemnity Amendment).

7. Default. From and after the Modification Closing Date, the breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this First Modification Agreement or the failure of Borrower to observe or comply with any term or agreement contained in this First Modification Agreement shall, subject to any applicable notice and cure period set forth in the Loan Agreement, constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan

 

-10-


Documents, and Agent shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies it may have under the Loan Documents and applicable law, including without limitation the right to declare all indebtedness and obligations owing under the Notes, and all other Loan Documents, to be immediately due and payable in full.

8. Additional Documents. From and after the Modification Closing Date, the Borrower shall, upon the request of Agent, execute, acknowledge, and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged, or delivered, such further documents, instruments, or agreements and perform such other acts as may be reasonably necessary, desirable, or proper for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this First Modification Agreement or the Loan Documents.

9. Miscellaneous. Each party hereto has cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this First Modification Agreement, and as a result this First Modification Agreement shall not be construed against any party. The Loan Documents and this First Modification Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written agreement signed by the parties hereto. The Loan Documents and this First Modification Agreement contain or expressly incorporate by reference the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters contemplated therein or herein and supersede all prior negotiations. This First Modification Agreement and the Consents attached hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered to Agent will be deemed to be an original and all of which, taken together, will be deemed to be one and the same instrument. Further, counterpart original signatures pages may be executed into one or more fully executed documents. The headings used in this First Modification Agreement are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in interpreting the substantive provisions of this First Modification Agreement. Time is of the essence of each term of the Loan Documents and this First Modification Agreement. This First Modification Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except if preempted by Federal law. If any provision of this First Modification Agreement or any of the Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed severed therefrom and the remaining parts shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable portion had never been a part thereof.
