Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. Confidential and proprietary 13 Location Highlights

Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. Confidential and proprietary Confidential and proprietary Culver City

Overview

Culver City is undergoing an economic and cultural renaissance. Originally recognized as a center for motion picture and television production, Culver City is a progressive community that combines a unique shopping environment, a rich entertainment history and a rapidly expanding multimedia hub. Downtown Culver City has been praised for its new art scene due to the influx of art galleries, trendy stores, and numerous restaurants, compelling The New York Times to coin the area as a “nascent Chelsea”. Downtown Culver City’s revival has been instrumental in the introduction of several mixed-use projects, as well as a host of other residential, retail, live/work, and office developments leading to more companies to choose to live and do business in Culver City.

Thriving High-Tech Sector

Culver City’s central location and proximity to Silicon Beach, a rapidly growing high-tech hub comprised of the coastal areas, stretching from Santa Monica down through the South Bay, including Playa Vista, Santa Monica, Venice, and Marina del Rey. Silicon Beach’s desirable coastal lifestyle, world-class beaches and amenities have facilitated the area’s growth in high-technology industries. The desirability of the area has attracted some of the most innovative, cutting-edge companies in the world including Facebook, Microsoft, and YouTube in Playa Vista, Yahoo! in Santa Monica, and Google and SnapChat in Venice. The synergistic clustering effect of the technology industry is expected to continue the pattern of growth within the area in both high-tech online companies as well as other related industries such as entertainment and media, and advertising. Neighboring markets, including Culver City, will ultimately benefit from this growth as a choice location for smaller companies and start-ups desiring to be close to their peers without paying the higher rents in the coastal communities.

Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. Confidential and proprietary 15 The Creative Office Trend

Westside Office Market

While growth of the professional service, real estate and finance industries has been slow since 2008, the rapid growth of the entertainment, media and technology sectors has fueled a surge in demand for creative office space that outweighs the supply within the highly desirable Westside office market. Culver City’s Hayden Tract, the Blackwelder Project and Playa Vista have drawn several large users including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, 72 and Sunny, Earthbound Media, TMZ, Belkin, The Mill, Vevo, Syska Hennesy and USC who have chosen to relocate to the Lower Westside.

The Culver City office market is part of the greater Westside which is steadily improving with decreasing vacancy and little relief of new construction. Annual asking rents are up nearly 10% compared to 3% county-wide. Tenant demand continues to be driven by entertainment, media, ad agencies, and consumer brands. The Culver City and Lower Westside submarkets only have 4 blocks of 100,000 SF or greater, currently available through 2016. Only one additional project, Tishman Speyer’s Campus at Playa Vista Phase 2, is poised to start construction. Analyst reports on public REIT developers and owners indicate very low 5% Cap Rate valuations and 5.0% to 10.0% annual rent growth over the next three years. Very few viable adaptive reuse candidates remain with Element LA, The Reserve, 8550 Higuera / 8600 Hayden, and 3401 Exposition achieving no vacancy at or shortly after completion.

Westside Office Market Highlights as of 4th Quarter 2013:

. 51.9 million square feet of space . Direct vacancy rate of 13.6% . 900,000 square feet of direct net absorption through the fourth quarter 2013

Creative Office Outperforms

Creative office is a subset of the overall office market and has demonstrated its ability to outperform traditional office over the last 10 years. Creative office space has consistently had lower vacancies than the rest of the office market in the Westside, with fourth quarter 2013 reaching 7.7% versus the Westside’s 13.6%. With vacancies continuing to tighten due to increasing demand for creative office on the Lower Westside and a lack of new developable sites and redevelopment opportunities, rents are poised to achieve $3.75 - $4.50 FSG by 2015.

Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. Confidential and proprietary 17 Entertainment Industry Impact on Real Estate

SPE is located in the heart of the global entertainment industry and is surrounded by major and independent motion picture, television, new media and transmedia production.

Entitling in-fill sites can average three or more years, making it very difficult to project market rental rates, increasing construction costs, market conditions, and interest rates. As such, office buildings located on or about studio lots are synergistic and typically outperform the rental market.
