Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On July 8, 2005, AMB Property, L.P., in which we are the sole general partner, and Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America entered into an Exchange Agreement which provides for the issuance by AMB Property, L.P. on July 11, 2005 of $112,491,000 in aggregate principal amount of 5.094% Notes Due 2015 (the “Notes”) in a private placement to Teachers in exchange for all of AMB Property, L.P.’s outstanding $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.9% Reset Put Securities (REPS (SM)) Due June 30, 2015 – Putable/Callable 2005 at a reset coupon of 6.704% currently held by Teachers. AMB Property, L.P. issued the Notes under the Sixth Supplemental Indenture to the Indenture (as defined below) dated July 11, 2005, by and among us, AMB Property, L.P. and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor-in-interest to State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A. The Notes are redeemable, at AMB Property, L.P.’s option, in whole or in part, at any time before the maturity date. If AMB Property, L.P. redeems any Notes prior to June 30, 2012, the redemption price will be an amount equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the treasury rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding the redemption date. If AMB Property, L.P., redeems any Notes on or after June 30, 2012, the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding the redemption date. The Notes are guaranteed by us and will mature on June 30, 2015. The REPS were cancelled upon issuance of the Notes.

     AMB Property, L.P. issued the REPS on June 30, 1998 pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 30, 1998, by and among us, AMB Property, L.P. and State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Third Supplemental Indenture, each dated as of June 30, 1998, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 15, 2000, and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 7, 2002 (collectively, the “Indenture”). Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, Morgan Stanley & Co. International exercised its right to call the REPS, and on June 30, 2005, purchased the aggregate principal amount of the issued and outstanding REPS. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated obtained bids for the purchase of the REPS, matched the bid with the lowest stated yield to maturity on the REPS and, on June 30, 2005, purchased the REPS from Morgan Stanley & Co. International.

     On June 30, 2005, Morgan Stanley & Co Incorporated sold the REPS to Teachers in a private placement.

     The Exchange Agreement provides that until July 11, 2008, AMB Property, L.P. has the right to require Teachers to return to it for cancellation all or any portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes for an obligation of equal dollar amount under one or more first mortgage loans to be secured by properties to be agreed to by Teachers and AMB Property, L.P.

However, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that AMB Property, L.P. can require Teachers to return to it for cancellation may not be less than $20,000,000 at any one time, or more than $52,491,000 after January 11, 2007. On the date of any such mortgage closing, AMB Property, L.P. will be required to pay Teachers any accrued but unpaid interest due on the Notes to be cancelled to, but excluding, the date of the mortgage loan closing, and a cancellation fee equal to 0.20% of the principal amount of the Notes to be cancelled.

     If Teachers decides to sell all or a portion of the Notes, AMB Property, L.P. has an option to repurchase all or any portion of the Notes that Teachers desires to sell at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest due on the Notes to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.

     The Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the Note and the Exchange Agreement are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 10.1, respectively, to this Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

Forward Looking Statements

     Some of the information included in this report contains forward-looking statements, such as statements pertaining to future plans, including anticipated closings and transactions, which are made pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, and you should not rely on the forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements might not occur. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our analysis only and speak only as of the date of this report or the dates indicated in the statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants, increased interest rates and operating costs, our failure to obtain necessary outside financing, difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in effecting acquisitions, our failure to successfully integrate acquired properties and operations, our failure to divest properties we have contracted to sell or to timely reinvest proceeds from any divestitures, risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including construction delays, cost overruns, our inability to obtain necessary permits and public opposition to these activities), our failure to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust, environmental uncertainties, risks related to natural disasters, financial market fluctuations, changes in real estate and zoning laws, risks related to doing business internationally and increases in real

FORM OF NOTES; TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

     SECTION 201. FORM OF NOTES.

          (1) Notwithstanding any provision in the Base Indenture to the contrary, Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto).

          (2) Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 202 hereof. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream

 


 

Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

     SECTION 202. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. Except as otherwise indicated below, the provisions of this Section 202 of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, to the extent inconsistent or conflicting with the provisions of Section 305 of the Base Indenture, shall control and supersede the provisions of Section 305 of the Base Indenture.

          (1) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Operating Partnership for Definitive Notes if:

               (a) the Operating Partnership delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Operating Partnership within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;

               (b) the Operating Partnership in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or

               (c) there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

     Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (a) or (b) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 304 and 306 of the Base Indenture. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 202 or pursuant to Section 304 or 306 of the Base Indenture, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 202(1), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 202(2) or (3) hereof.

          (2) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (a) or (b) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

 


 

               (a) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person. Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Security Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 202(2)(a).

               (b) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 202(2)(a) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Security Registrar either:

                    (i) both:

               (A) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

               (B) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or

                    (ii) both:

               (A) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

               (B) instructions given by the Depositary to the Security Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (a) above.

     Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 202(7) hereof.

               (c) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the

 


 

transfer complies with the requirements of Section 202(2)(b) above and the Security Registrar receives the following:

                    (i) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Domestic Global Note, then the transferor must deliver (A) a certificate in the form of EXHIBIT D hereto, including the certifications in item (i) thereof; or (B) a certificate in the form of EXHIBIT D hereto, including the certifications, certificates and Opinion of Counsel required by item (3) thereof, as applicable; or

                    (ii) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of EXHIBIT D hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof; and

               (d) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interest in Unrestricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 202(2)(b) above and:

                    (i) such transfer is effected pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement;

                    (ii) the Security Registrar receives the following:

               (A) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of EXHIBIT C hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or

               (B) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of EXHIBIT D hereto, including the certifications in item (4) thereof;

and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (ii), if the Security Registrar so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Security Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

     If any such transfer is effected pursuant to subparagraph (i) or (ii) above at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Operating Partnership shall issue and, upon receipt of an Operating Partnership Request in accordance with Section 303 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate

 


 

principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to subparagraph (i) or (ii) above.

     Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note.

          (3) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Notes.

               (a) Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Notes to Restricted Definitive Notes. If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Restricted Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Restricted Definitive Note, then, upon receipt by the Security Registrar of the following documentation:

                    (i) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Restricted Definitive Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of EXHIBIT C hereto, including the certifications in item (2)(a) thereof;

The validity and enforceability of this Parent Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Notes.

     An Event of Default under the Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default under this Parent Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of Notes to accelerate the obligations of the undersigned hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Operating Partnership.

     To the extent that any of the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph shall not be enforceable, the undersigned agrees that until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership or the undersigned to a Holder may be determined to be a Preferential Payment, Guarantor’s Conditional Rights to the extent not validly waived shall be subordinate to Holders’ right to full payment and performance of the indebtedness and the undersigned shall not enforce any of its respective portion of the Guarantors’ Conditional Rights until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership or the undersigned to Holders may be determined to be a Preferential Payment.

     The undersigned’s liability (the “Base Guaranty Liability”) shall be that amount from time to time equal to the aggregate liability of the undersigned hereunder, but shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of the obligation as stated in the second sentence of Section 1401 of the Indenture, and (B) the amount, if any, which would not have (i) rendered the undersigned “insolvent” (as such term is defined in Section 101(29) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and in Section 271 of the Debtor and Creditor Law of the State of New York, as each is in effect at the date of the Indenture) or (ii) left the undersigned with unreasonably small capital at the time this Subsidiary Guarantee was entered into, after giving effect to the incurrence of existing Debt (as defined in the Indenture) immediately prior to such time, provided that, it shall be a presumption in any lawsuit or other proceeding in which the undersigned is a party that the amount guaranteed is the amount set forth in (A) above unless a creditor, or representative of creditors of the undersigned or a trustee in bankruptcy of the undersigned, as debtor in possession, otherwise proves in such a lawsuit that the aggregate liability of the undersigned is limited to the amount set forth in (B). In making any determination as to the solvency or sufficiency of capital of the undersigned in accordance with the previous sentence, the right of the undersigned to contribution from the other Guarantors, to subrogation and any other rights the undersigned may have, contractual or otherwise, shall be taken into account.

 


 

     The obligations of the undersigned to the Holder of any Notes and to the Trustee pursuant to this Subsidiary Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article 14 of the Indenture and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for the precise terms of the Subsidiary Guarantee and all of the other provisions of the Indenture to which this Subsidiary Guarantee relates.

     Capitalized terms in this Subsidiary Guarantee which are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Subsidiary Guarantee to be duly executed.

     THIS PARENT GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     This Parent Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication on the Notes shall have been executed by the Trustee under the Indenture referred to above by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers. The validity and enforceability of this Parent Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Notes.

     An Event of Default under the Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default under this Parent Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of Notes to accelerate the obligations of the undersigned hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Operating Partnership.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Parent Guarantee to the contrary, the undersigned hereby waives any claims or other rights which it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Guarantor or the Operating Partnership that arise from the existence or performance of its obligations under this Parent Guarantee (all such claims and rights are referred to as “Guarantor’s Conditional Rights”), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy against any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. The undersigned hereby agrees not to exercise any rights which may be acquired by way of contribution under this Parent Guarantee or any other agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such contribution rights. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned on account of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and either (i) such amount is paid to such undersigned party at any time when the indebtedness shall not have been paid or performed in full, or (ii) regardless of when such

 


 

amount is paid to such undersigned party, any payment made by any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership to a Holder that is at any time determined to be a Preferential Payment (as defined below), then such amount paid to the undersigned shall be held in trust for the benefit of such Holder and shall forthwith be paid such Holder to be credited and applied upon the indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured. Any such payment is herein referred to as a “Preferential Payment” to the extent any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership makes any payment to Holder in connection with the Note, and any or all of such payment is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any bankruptcy act or otherwise.

     To the extent that any of the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph shall not be enforceable, the undersigned agrees that until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the Operating Partnership or the undersigned to a Holder may be determined to be a Preferential Payment, Guarantor’s Conditional Rights to the extent not validly waived shall be subordinate to Holders’ right to full payment and performance of the indebtedness and the undersigned shall not enforce any of Guarantor’s Conditional Rights until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by any Guarantor, the Operating Partnership or the undersigned to Holders may be determined to be a Preferential Payment.

     The obligations of the undersigned to the Holders of the Notes and to the Trustee pursuant to this Parent Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article 14 of the Indenture and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for the precise terms of this Parent Guarantee and all of the other provisions of the Indenture to which this Parent Guarantee relates.

BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF (OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN) THE HOLDER: (1) REPRESENTS THAT (A) IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) (A “QIB”), (B) IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON, IS NOT ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (C) IT IS AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) OF REGULATION D UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) (AN “IAI”); (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT, WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD REFERRED TO UNDER RULE 144(k) (TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE PROVISIONS OF RULE 144(d) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IF APPLICABLE) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AS IN EFFECT ON THE DATE OF THE TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY, RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY EXCEPT (A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) TO A PERSON WHOM THE HOLDER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QIB PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QIB IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (D) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE), (E) TO AN IAI THAT, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISHES TO THE TRUSTEE A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY, THE FORM OF WHICH LETTER CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE TRUSTEE, AND AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT OR (F) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS; AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY OR AN INTEREST HEREIN IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD REFERRED TO ABOVE,

THE HOLDER MUST CHECK THE APPROPRIATE BOX CONTAINED IN A CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER AVAILABLE FROM THE TRUSTEE RELATING TO THE MANNER OF SUCH TRANSFER AND SUBMIT THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE TRUSTEE. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS “OFFSHORE TRANSACTION,” “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY RULE 902 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE INDENTURE CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE TRUSTEE TO REFUSE TO REGISTER ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.

          (d) The Holder (i) is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its prospective investment in the Exchange Notes and (iii) has the ability to bear the economic risks of its prospective investment and can afford the complete loss of such investment.

          (e) The Holder acknowledges that (i) it has conducted its own investigation of the Companies and the terms of the Exchange Notes and (ii) it has had access to the public filings of the Companies with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and to such financial and other information as it deems necessary to make its decision to acquire the Exchange Notes.

          (f) The Holder understands that the Companies will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, acknowledgements and agreements and agrees that if any of the representations or acknowledgements deemed to have been made by it in connection with the Exchange is no longer accurate, the Holder shall promptly notify the Companies. If the Holder is acquiring the Exchange Notes as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it represents that is has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and it has full power to make the foregoing representations, acknowledgements and agreements on behalf of such account.

          (g) The Holder has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Exchange.

          (h) The Holder understands that nothing in this Agreement, the public filings of the Companies with the Commission or any other materials presented to the Holder in connection with the Exchange constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Holder has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with the Exchange and its investment in the Exchange Notes and has made its own assessment and has satisfied itself concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations relevant to the Exchange and its investment in the Exchange Notes.

          (i) The Holder represents and warrants that, to the knowledge of the Holder, no direct or indirect payment of commission or remuneration has been paid to any third party in connection with the Exchange and the issuance of the Exchange Notes.

5


 

          (j) The Holder has valid title to the Notes, free and clear of all security interests, claims, liens, equities or other encumbrances created or authorized by it; and the delivery of the Notes by the Holder pursuant to this Agreement will pass valid title thereto to the Operating Partnership, free and clear of any “adverse claim” created or authorized by it (as defined in Section 8-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York as in effect on the date hereof and on the Closing Date).

     5A. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership represents, warrants and covenants, as of the date hereof, as of the Closing Date, and as of any Mortgage Loan Closing Date, as applicable, as follows:

          (a) The Operating Partnership is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware.

          (b) The Parent Corporation is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Maryland.

          (c) This Agreement and the Indenture constitute, and upon execution and delivery thereof, each of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Exchange Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Operating Partnership, enforceable against the Operating Partnership in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

          (e) The execution, delivery and performance by the Operating Partnership of its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture, as it pertains to the transactions referenced herein, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Exchange Notes will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the

6


 

creation of any material mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other material encumbrance in respect of any property of the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary of the Operating Partnership under, any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by-laws, or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary is bound or by which the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, except for any cancellation pursuant to Section 7 hereof, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any federal, state, local and other governmental authority, governmental or regulatory agency or body, court, arbitrator or self-regulatory organization applicable to the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary (each a “Governmental Authority”) or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary.

          (f) The execution, delivery and performance by the Parent Corporation of its obligations under the Indenture, as it pertains to the transactions referenced herein, and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any material mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other material encumbrance in respect of any property of the Parent Corporation under, any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by-laws, or any material other agreement or instrument to which the Parent Corporation is bound or by which the Parent Corporation or any of its properties may be bound or affected, except for any cancellation pursuant to Section 7 hereof, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Parent Corporation or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Parent Corporation.

          (h) Neither the Operating Partnership nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Exchange Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any person other than the Holder. Neither the Operating Partnership nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Exchange Notes to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.

          (i) On the Closing Date the Operating Partnership agrees to pay the Holder all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes up to, but not including, the Closing Date.

     6. Covenants of the Operating Partnership.

7


 

          (a) Bloomberg. The Operating Partnership shall use its best efforts to make the Notes available on the online financial service provided by Bloomberg, L.P. within thirty (30) calendar days of the Exchange.

          (b) Registration Rights. The Operating Partnership and the Holder shall execute the Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT B.

          (c) Ratings. For so long the Holder shall own any of the Exchange Notes, the Operating Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch, Inc. to provide a rating for the Operating Partnership’s senior, unsecured debt.

     7. Cancellation of Exchange Notes; Mortgage Loans.

          (a) Demand Right. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time during the Demand Period (as defined below), the Operating Partnership shall have the right in its sole discretion to exercise its Demand Right by providing a notice to the Holder requiring the Holder to deliver for cancellation all or any portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes (in integral multiples of $1,000, subject to the next sentence) for an equal dollar amount of Mortgage Loans (the “Demand Right”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Loan Commitment Agreement to the contrary, the Operating Partnership may not exercise its Demand Right for (i) less than $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes at any one time or (ii) more than $52,491,000 aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes after January 11, 2007. The “Demand Period” shall commence on the Closing Date and shall terminate on July 11, 2008. The Holder shall have the right to extend the Demand Period in its sole discretion upon notice to the Operating Partnership.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Demand Right and the obligation of the Holder to make any Mortgage Loans shall immediately terminate and expire in the event that the Parent Corporation shall consummate any transaction, whether by means of an exchange offer, liquidation, tender offer, consolidation, merger, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise, in connection with which the Parent Corporation is not the surviving entity, unless the Holder consents in advance to such transaction in writing, which consent may be withheld in the Holder’s sole discretion.

          (b) Notice of Exercise of Demand Right. Subject to Section 7(h) below, if the Operating Partnership chooses to exercise its Demand Right, the Operating Partnership shall notify the Holder at least ninety (90) calendar days in advance of each date that the Operating Partnership wishes to cancel Exchange Notes for an obligation of equal dollar amount under the Mortgage Loan (each such date on which Exchange Notes shall be cancelled and Loan Documents shall be executed, a “Mortgage Loan Closing Date”). Such notice (the “Exchange Notice”) shall be irrevocable by the Operating Partnership once the Holder and the Operating Partnership have agreed on the value of the properties that will secure such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Operating Partnership shall have the right to delay the Mortgage Loan Closing Date for up to one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days in the event that, subsequent to the delivery of such notice, (x) the Operating Partnership or the

8


 

Corporation determines in its good faith judgment that the cancellation of any Exchange Notes or the consummation of a Mortgage Loan Closing with respect to such notice would require the disclosure of non-public material information that the Operating Partnership or the Parent Corporation has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or the disclosure of which would impede the Operating Partnership’s or the Parent Corporation’s ability to consummate a material action, or (y) all reports required to be filed by the Companies pursuant to the Exchange Act have not been filed by the required date without regard to any extension, or if the consummation of any business combination by either of the Companies has occurred or is probable for purposes of Rule 3-05 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Act.

          (c) Mortgage Loan Closing Representations by the Holder. On each Mortgage Loan Closing Date, the Holder shall deliver a certificate to the Operating Partnership executed by any managing director of the Holder and making, on behalf of the Holder, the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in EXHIBIT E hereto.

          (d) Conditions to the Holder’s Obligations. The Holder’s obligation to deliver Exchange Notes for cancellation for an equal dollar amount of Mortgage Loans at any Mortgage Loan Closing (as defined below) shall be subject to satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to such Mortgage Loan Closing contained in the Loan Commitment Agreement.

          (e) Procedure for Mortgage Loan Closings. Subject to Section 7(d) hereof and the Loan Commitment Agreement, on each Mortgage Loan Closing Date, the Borrower and the Holder shall execute Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Commitment Agreement) or execute additional Loan Documents, or otherwise amend or supplement existing Loan Documents, as appropriate, to evidence a Mortgage Loan in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes to be cancelled (such amount, the “Demand Amount”). In addition, on such Mortgage Loan Closing Date, the Operating Partnership shall pay to the Holder (i) any accrued but unpaid interest due on the Exchange Notes to be cancelled to, but excluding, the Mortgage Loan Closing Date and (ii) a cancellation fee equal to 0.20% of the Demand Amount. In consideration of the foregoing, on such Mortgage Loan Closing Date the Holder shall cause to be delivered to the account of the trustee for the Exchange Notes a book-entry interest in the Exchange Notes in a principal amount equal to the Demand Amount. Upon receipt of such book-entry interest and the execution of Loan Documents evidencing the Mortgage Loan on the Mortgage Loan Closing Date, the Operating Partnership shall cause the trustee to cancel such book-entry interest and such book-entry interest shall thereafter be of no further effect. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 7(e) on a Mortgage Loan Closing Date shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Mortgage Loan Closing” with respect to such Mortgage Loan Closing Date.

          (f) Limitations on Sale of Exchange Notes.

               (i) If at any time the Holder desires to sell all or a portion of the Exchange Notes, the Holder shall promptly notify the Operating Partnership (such notice, for purposes of this Section 7(f)(i), the “Sale Notice”). The Operating Partnership shall have the option, exercisable by delivering a notice (such notice, for purposes of this Section 7(f)(i), the “Repurchase Notice”) to the Holder within three (3) business days following receipt of the Sale Notice, to repurchase from the Holder all or any portion (in integral multiples of $1,000) of the Exchange Notes subject to the Sale Notice from the Holder at a repurchase price equal to 100%

9


 

of the aggregate principal amount of such Exchange Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest due on such Exchange Notes to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. The closing of any such repurchase by the Operating Partnership shall occur within seven (7) business days following receipt by the Holder of the Repurchase Notice, unless the parties mutually agree to extend such closing date and if such closing does not occur within seven (7) business days or such later period agreed to by the parties, the Holder may sell the Exchange Note in compliance with Section 5(b) and 5(c) hereof.

               (ii) Subject to the provisions of (f)(i) above, if an Exchange Notice has become irrevocable by the Operating Partnership pursuant to Section 7(b) of this Agreement, until ninety (90) calendar days from the date such Exchange Notice became irrevocable (or such later date coinciding with any delayed Mortgage Closing Date) (such 90-day or later period, the “Lockout Period”), the Holder shall not sell any Exchange Notes unless after giving effect to such sale, the Holder would own Exchange Notes having an aggregate principal amount at least equal to the Demand Amount with respect to such Exchange Notice (plus any other Exchange Notices previously made and for which the Lockout Period with respect thereto has not expired, provided that if any such sale should occur, such sale is in compliance with Section 5(b) and 5(c) hereof.

          Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if a Downgrade Trigger (as defined below) occurs during the Lockout Period, the Holder shall have the right to sell immediately all or any portion of the Exchange Notes that are subject to the restrictions on sale pursuant to the preceding paragraph, provided that any such sale is in compliance with Section 5(b) and 5(c) hereof. If the Holder desires to sell all or any portion of the Exchange Notes pursuant to one of the two preceding sentences, the Holder shall promptly notify the Operating Partnership (such notice, for purposes of this Section 7(f)(ii), the “Sale Notice”). The Operating Partnership shall have the option, exercisable by delivering a notice (such notice, for purposes of this Section 7(f)(ii), the “Repurchase Notice”) to the Holder within three (3) business days following receipt of the Sale Notice, to repurchase from the Holder all or any portion (in integral multiples of $1,000) of the Exchange Notes subject to the Sale Notice from the Holder at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Exchange Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest due on such Exchange Notes to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. The closing of any such repurchase by the Operating Partnership shall occur within five (5) business days following receipt by the Holder of the Repurchase Notice, unless the parties mutually agree to extend such closing date.

          As used herein, a “Downgrade Trigger” shall be deemed to have occurred at any time that (i) Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services shall maintain a rating for the Operating Partnership’s senior, unsecured debt of BBB- with a negative outlook, or lower, (ii) Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. shall maintain a rating for the Operating Partnership’s senior, unsecured debt of Baa2 with a negative outlook, or lower, or (iii) Fitch, Inc. shall maintain a rating for the Operating Partnership’s senior, unsecured debt of BBB with a negative outlook, or lower.

          (g) Expiration of the Demand Period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Loan Commitment Agreement to the contrary, the Operating Partnership may not exercise its Demand Right pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof subsequent to the expiration of the Demand Period.

10


 

          (h) Mortgage Loan Closings. Mortgage Loan Closings may take place subsequent to the expiration of the Demand Period provided that the Operating Partnership made proper exercises of its Demand Right prior to the expiration of the Demand Period with respect to such Mortgage Loan Closings. In the event that the Holder approves the properties that will secure such Mortgage Loan and the parties agree as to the loan amount, the Mortgage Loan Closing with respect thereto must take place within (but not later than) sixty (60) calendar days subsequent to such approval (or such longer period as the parties hereto agree). The parties agree that they will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Mortgage Loan Closing to occur promptly.

     8. Miscellaneous Provisions.
