NOTE 14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Prior to the Offering and Formation Transactions, we acted as the manager for certain unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and earned fees for these services (excluding Waikiki Beach Walk). Each unconsolidated joint venture (excluding Waikiki Beach Walk) had a master management agreement with additional agreements covering property management, construction management, acquisition, disposition and leasing and asset management. Certain unconsolidated joint ventures also reimbursed us for monthly maintenance and facilities management services provided to the properties owned by the unconsolidated joint ventures. Subsequent to the Formation Transactions, we no longer earn fees from unconsolidated joint ventures. Fees earned by us from the unconsolidated joint ventures prior to the Formation Transactions are as follows (in thousands):

Certain affiliated entities made loans to affiliates in order to attain a higher return on excess cash balances, and these loans were classified as notes receivable from affiliates. The notes bore interest at LIBOR and were to be repaid upon demand. The notes receivable were settled as part of the Formation Transactions.

We received unsecured loans on January 15, 2008, from certain of the entities that own Del Monte Center for $12.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to fund construction at the property. The notes bore interest at 10.0% and required monthly principal and interest payments until maturity on March 1, 2013. The notes were repaid using proceeds from the Offering or were settled as part of the Formation Transactions.

At ICW Plaza, we lease space to Insurance Company of the West, which is under the indirect control of Ernest Rady, our Executive Chairman of the Board. Rental revenue recognized on the leases of $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, is included in rental income. Additionally, we leased space to Insurance Company of the West at Valencia Corporate Center until the sale of Valencia Corporate Center on August 30, 2011, and rental revenue recognized on these leases of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, is included in discontinued operations.

The Waikiki Beach Walk entities have a 47.7% investment in WBW CHP LLC, an entity that was formed to, among other things, construct a chilled water plant to provide air conditioning to the property and other adjacent facilities. The operating expenses of WBW CHP LLC are recovered through reimbursements from its members, and reimbursements to WBW CHP LLC of $0.2 million and $0.2 million were made for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and included in rental expenses on the statement of operations.
