AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007
(unaudited)
 
1.   Organization and Formation of the Company
 
AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of its initial public offering on November 26, 1997. The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1997, and believes its current organization and method of operation will enable it to maintain its status as a REIT. The Company, through its controlling interest in its subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), is engaged in the acquisition, development and operation of industrial properties in key distribution markets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. The Company uses the terms “industrial properties” or “industrial buildings” to describe various types of industrial properties in its portfolio and uses these terms interchangeably with the following: logistics facilities, centers or warehouses; distribution facilities, centers or warehouses; High Throughput Distribution® (HTD®) facilities; or any combination of these terms. The Company uses the term “owned and managed” to describe assets in which it has at least a 10% ownership interest, for which it is the property or asset manager, and which it intends to hold for the long-term. Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” means AMB Property Corporation, the Operating Partnership and their other controlled subsidiaries.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the Company owned an approximate 96.0% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, excluding preferred units. The remaining approximate 4.0% common limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the Company. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. Net operating results of the Operating Partnership are allocated after preferred unit distributions based on the respective partners’ ownership interests. Certain properties are owned by the Company through limited partnerships, limited liability companies and other entities. The ownership of such properties through such entities does not materially affect the Company’s overall ownership interests in the properties.
 
Through the Operating Partnership, the Company enters into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures provide the Company with an additional source of capital and income. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had investments in five consolidated and five unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures.
 
AMB Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AMB Capital Partners”), provides real estate investment services to clients on a fee basis. Headlands Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, conducts a variety of businesses that include development projects available for sale or contribution to third parties and incremental income programs. IMD Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation, conducts a variety of businesses that also includes development projects available for sale or contribution to third parties. AMB Capital Partners, Headlands Realty Corporation and IMD Holding Corporation are direct subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the Company owned or had investments in, on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 140.8 million square feet (13.1 million square meters) in 1,168 buildings in 44 markets within thirteen countries. Additionally, as of September 30, 2007, the Company managed, but did not have a significant ownership interest in, industrial and other properties, totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Of the approximately 140.8 million square feet as of September 30, 2007:
 
  •  on an owned and managed basis, which includes investments held on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company owned or partially owned approximately 114.0 million square feet (principally warehouse distribution buildings) that were 95.5% leased;
 
  •  on an owned and managed basis, which includes investments held on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company had investments in 51 industrial development projects, which are expected to total approximately 16.8 million square feet upon completion;
 
  •  on a consolidated basis, the Company owned ten development projects, totaling approximately 2.5 million square feet, which are available for sale or contribution;
 
  •  through non-managed unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company had investments in 46 industrial operating properties, totaling approximately 7.4 million square feet; and
 
  •  the Company held approximately 0.1 million square feet, which is the location of the Company’s global headquarters.
 
2.   Interim Financial Statements
 
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted.
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of future results. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2006, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, and any amendments to such reports.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Investments in Real Estate.  Investments in real estate and leasehold interests are stated at cost unless circumstances indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to its estimated fair value. The Company also regularly reviews the impact of above or below-market leases, in-place leases and lease origination costs for acquisitions, and records an intangible asset or liability accordingly. Carrying values for financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future economics and market conditions and the availability of capital. If impairment analysis assumptions change, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which the assumptions change. To the extent that a property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to earnings. For properties held for sale, impairment is recognized when the carrying value of the property is less than its estimated fair value net of cost to sell. As a result of leasing activity and the economic environment, the Company

re-evaluated the carrying value of its investments and recorded an impairment charge on one of its investments of $0.3 million and $5.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Reclassifications.  Certain items in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.
 
Comprehensive Income.  The Company reports comprehensive income in its Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income was $81.2 million and $30.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Comprehensive income was $221.9 million and $135.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
International Operations.  The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries operating in the United States and Mexico. Other than Mexico, the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries operating outside the United States is generally the local currency of the country in which the entity or property is located, mitigating the effect of currency exchange gains and losses. The Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. The Company translates income statement accounts using the average exchange rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction date. These gains (losses) are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
 
The Company’s international subsidiaries may have transactions denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies. In these instances, non-monetary assets and liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. These gains (losses) are included in the Company’s results of operations.
 
The Company also records gains or losses in the income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets.  The Company has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of fair value of the net assets of companies acquired in purchase transactions. As prescribed in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), goodwill and certain indefinite lived intangible assets, including excess reorganization value and certain trademarks, are no longer amortized, but are subject to at least annual impairment testing. The Company tests annually (or more often, if necessary) for impairment under SFAS No. 142. The Company determined that there was no impairment to goodwill and intangible assets during the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements.  In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. Adoption by the Company of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. The tax years 2002 through 2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning

after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Discontinued Operations.  The Company reports its property divestitures as discontinued operations separately as prescribed under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company divested itself of one industrial building, aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $7.5 million, with a resulting net gain of $1.9 million and a gain of approximately $2.0 million associated with the sale of one redevelopment project. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $0.4 million in gains resulting primarily from the additional value received from the disposition of properties in 2006. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company divested itself of one industrial building, aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $5.2 million, with a resulting net gain of $0.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company divested itself of 13 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 0.9 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $59.1 million, with a resulting net gain of $24.3 million.
 
Properties Held for Contribution.  As of September 30, 2007, the Company held for contribution to its co-investment joint ventures 16 industrial projects with an aggregate net book value of $258.6 million.

Properties Held for Divestiture.  As of September 30, 2007, the Company held for divestiture six industrial projects with an aggregate net book value of $63.7 million. These properties either are not in the Company’s core markets, do not meet its current investment objectives, or are included as part of its development-for-sale or value-added conversion programs. The divestitures of the properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions. Properties held for divestiture are stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell.

Total consolidated debt
  $ 3,330,796     $ 3,437,415  
                 
 
Secured debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments. Some of the loans are cross-collateralized by multiple properties. The secured debt is collateralized by deeds of trust or mortgages on certain properties and is generally non-recourse. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the total gross investment book value of those properties securing the debt was $2.3 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, including $1.9 billion in consolidated joint ventures for each period. As of September 30, 2007, $1.1 billion of the secured debt obligations bore interest at fixed rates with a weighted average interest rate of 6.3% while the remaining $254.1 million bore interest at variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 4.9%).
 
On December 8, 2006, the Operating Partnership executed a 228.0 million Euros facility agreement (approximately $303.3 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 12, 2007, the date the facility was assumed by AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, as discussed below), which provides that certain of the Company’s affiliates may borrow either acquisition loans, up to a 100.0 million Euros sub-limit (approximately $133.0 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 12, 2007), or secured term loans, in connection with properties located in France, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy or Spain. On March 21, 2007, the Operating Partnership increased the facility amount limit from 228.0 million Euros to 328.0 million Euros. Drawings under the term facility bear interest at a rate of 65 basis points over EURIBOR and may occur until, and mature on, April 30, 2014. Drawings under the acquisition loan facility bear interest at a rate of 75 basis points over EURIBOR and are repayable within six months of the date of advance, unless extended. The Operating Partnership initially guaranteed the acquisition loan facility and was the carve-out indemnitor in respect of the term loans. According to the facility agreement, these responsibilities will be transferred upon the occurrence of certain events, and the Operating Partnership will be fully discharged from all such obligations upon such transfer. On June 12, 2007, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, assumed, and the Operating Partnership was released from, all of the Operating Partnership’s obligations and liabilities under the facility agreement. On June 12, 2007, there were

200.7 million Euros (approximately $267.0 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 12, 2007) of term loans and no acquisition loans outstanding under the facility agreement.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership had outstanding an aggregate of $1.0 billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.1% and had an average term of 4.5 years. The Company guarantees the Operating Partnership’s obligations with respect to its unsecured senior debt securities. The unsecured senior debt securities are subject to various covenants. The covenants contain affirmative covenants, including compliance with financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants as of September 30, 2007.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had $145.1 million outstanding in other debt which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.2% and had an average term of 4.8 years. Other debt includes a $65.0 million non-recourse credit facility obtained by AMB Partners II, L.P., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, which had a $65.0 million balance outstanding as of September 30, 2007. Other debt also includes a $70.0 million non-recourse credit facility obtained on August 24, 2007 by AMB Institutional Alliance Fund II, L.P., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, which had a $60.0 million balance outstanding as of September 30, 2007. The Company also had $20.1 million outstanding in other non-recourse debt.
 
The Operating Partnership has a $550.0 million (includes Euros, Yen, British pounds sterling or U.S. dollar denominated borrowings) unsecured revolving credit facility which bore a weighted average interest rate of 5.1% at September 30, 2007. This facility matures on June 1, 2010. The Company is a guarantor of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the credit facility. The line carries a one-year extension option and can be increased to up to $700.0 million upon certain conditions. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt rating, which was 42.5 basis points as of September 30, 2007, with an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. The four-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component, under which up to $550.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Euros, Yen or British pounds sterling. The Operating Partnership uses the credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding development activity and general working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2007, was $231.8 million and the remaining amount available was $301.0 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $17.2 million. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including compliance with financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants under this credit agreement at September 30, 2007.
 
AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, has a Yen-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial borrowing limit of 55.0 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2007, equaled approximately $479.1 million U.S. dollars. This facility bore a weighted average interest rate of 1.2% at September 30, 2007. The Company and the Operating Partnership guarantee the obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the credit facility, as well as the obligations of any other entity in which the Operating Partnership directly or indirectly owns an ownership interest and which is selected from time to time to be a borrower under and pursuant to the credit agreement. Generally, borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility with certain real estate assets or equity in entities holding such real estate assets. The credit facility matures in June 2010 and has a one-year extension option. The extension option is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments under the facility at that time. The rate on the borrowings is generally TIBOR plus a margin, which is based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt and was 42.5 basis points as of September 30, 2007. In addition, there is an annual facility fee, payable in quarterly amounts, which is based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt, and was 15 basis points of the


14

outstanding commitments under the facility as of September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2007, was $373.1 million in U.S. dollars. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company, the Operating Partnership and AMB Japan Finance Y.K. were in compliance with their financial covenants under this credit agreement at September 30, 2007.
 
On July 16, 2007, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries and the Operating Partnership, each acting as a borrower, and the Company and the Operating Partnership, as guarantors, entered into a fifth amended and restated revolving credit agreement for a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility that replaced the existing $250 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The fifth amended and restated credit facility amends the fourth amended and restated credit facility to, among other things, increase the facility amount to $500 million with an option to further increase the facility to $750 million, to extend the maturity date to June 2011 and to allow for borrowing in Indian Rupees. The Company, along with the Operating Partnership, guarantees the obligations for such subsidiaries and other entities controlled by the Operating Partnership that are selected by the Operating Partnership from time to time to be borrowers under and pursuant to their credit facility. The credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $500.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds sterling, Euros, and Indian Rupees. The line, which matures in June 2011 and carries a one-year extension option, can be increased to up to $750.0 million upon certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt, which was 60 basis points as of September 30, 2007, with an annual facility fee based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt. As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rates in effect at September 30, 2007, was approximately $213.4 million and it bore a weighted average interest rate of 5.6%. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios by the Operating Partnership, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants under this credit agreement at September 30, 2007.
 
On February 14, 2007, seven subsidiaries of AMB-SGP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which is a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement for a $305 million secured financing. On the same day, pursuant to the loan agreement, the same seven subsidiaries delivered four promissory notes to the two lenders, each of which matures on March 5, 2012. One note has a principal of $160 million and an interest rate that is fixed at 5.29%. The second note has an initial principal borrowing of $40 million with a variable interest rate of 81 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate. The third note has an initial principal borrowing of $84 million and a fixed interest rate of 5.90%. The fourth note has an initial principal borrowing of $21 million and bears interest at a variable rate of 135 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate.

6.   Minority Interests
 
Minority interests in the Company represent the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, limited partnership interests in AMB Property II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and interests held by certain third parties in several real estate joint ventures, aggregating approximately 35.9 million square feet, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Such investments are consolidated because the Company exercises significant rights over major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset management, investment activity and changes in financing. These joint venture investments do not meet the variable interest entity criteria under FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.
 
Effective October 1, 2006, the Company deconsolidated AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an open-ended co-investment partnership formed in 2004 with institutional investors, on a prospective basis, due to the re-evaluation of the Company’s accounting for its investment in the fund because of changes to the partnership agreement regarding the general partner’s rights effective October 1, 2006.
 
Through the Operating Partnership, the Company enters into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. The Company’s consolidated co-investment joint ventures are engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management and, in some cases, the renovation, expansion and development of industrial buildings in target markets in North America.

The Company has consolidated joint ventures that have finite lives under the terms of the partnership agreements. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the aggregate book value of the joint venture minority interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was approximately $516.9 million and $555.2 million, respectively, and the Company believes that the aggregate settlement value of these interests was approximately $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. However, there can be no assurance that the aggregate settlement value of the interests will be as such. The aggregate settlement value is based on the estimated liquidation values of the assets and liabilities and the resulting proceeds that the Company would distribute to its joint venture partners upon dissolution, as required under the terms of the respective joint venture agreements. There can be no assurance that the estimated liquidation values of the assets and liabilities and the resulting proceeds that the Company distributes upon dissolution will be the same as the actual liquidation values of such assets, liabilities and proceeds distributed upon dissolution. Subsequent changes to the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities of the consolidated joint ventures will affect the Company’s estimate of the aggregate settlement value. The joint venture agreements do not limit the amount to which the minority joint venture partners would be entitled in the event of liquidation of the assets and liabilities and dissolution of the respective joint ventures.
 
On April 17, 2007, the Operating Partnership redeemed all 800,000 of its outstanding 7.95% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units from a single institutional investor and all 800,000 of its outstanding 7.95% Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units from another single institutional investor. The Operating Partnership redeemed the Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units for $40.0 million, plus accrued and unpaid distributions through April 16, 2007.

8.   Stockholders’ Equity
 
Holders of common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership and class B common limited partnership units of AMB Property II, L.P. have the right, commencing generally on or after the first anniversary of the holder becoming a limited partner of the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P., as applicable (or such other date agreed to by the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P. and the applicable unit holders), to require the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P., as applicable, to redeem part or all of their common units or class B common limited partnership units, as applicable, for cash (based upon the fair market value, as defined in the applicable partnership agreement, of an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Company at the time of redemption) or the Operating Partnership or AMB Property II, L.P. may, in its respective sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limits on ownership and transfer of common stock set forth in the Company’s charter), elect to have the Company exchange those common units or class B common limited partnership units, as applicable, for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of certain rights, certain extraordinary distributions and similar events. With each redemption or exchange of the Operating Partnership’s common units, the Company’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. Common limited partners and class B common limited partners may exercise this redemption right from time to time, in whole or in part, subject to certain limitations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership redeemed 564,273 of its common limited partnership units for an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company issued approximately 8.4 million shares of its common stock for net proceeds of approximately $472.1 million, which proceeds were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for the issuance of approximately 8.4 million general partnership units. As a result of the common stock issuance, there was a significant reallocation of partnership interests due to the difference in the Company’s stock price at issuance as compared to the book value per share. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes and, over the long term, to expand its global development business.
 
The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock for issuance, of which the following series were designated as of September 30, 2007: 1,595,337 shares of series D cumulative redeemable preferred, none of which are outstanding; 2,300,000 shares of series L cumulative redeemable preferred, of which 2,000,000 are outstanding; 2,300,000 shares of series M cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding; 3,000,000 shares of series O cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding; and 2,000,000 shares of series P cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding.

In December 2005, the Company’s board of directors approved a two-year common stock repurchase program for the discretionary repurchase of up to $200.0 million of its common stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate price of $53.4 million at a weighted average price of $49.87 per share. The Company may still repurchase up to $146.6 million of its common stock under this program.
 
On May 10, 2007, at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, which reserved for issuance under the plan an additional 7.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. With the inclusion of these shares, as of September 30, 2007, the Company’s stock incentive plans have approximately 10.1 million shares of common stock still available for issuance as either stock options or restricted stock grants, of which 9.4 million are eligible to be used for new grants. The fair value of each option grant was generally estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and forfeitures within the valuation model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The fair values of grants issued during the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, were $8.03 and $8.54, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock awards calculated as of the grant dates of the awards and issued during the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, were $53.67 and $45.09, respectively. The following assumptions are used for grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively: dividend yields of 4.1% and 3.5%; expected volatility of 20.5% and 17.9%; risk-free interest rates of 4.5% and 4.6%; and expected lives of six years.
 
As of September 30, 2007, approximately 6,036,997 options and 660,187 non-vested stock awards were outstanding under the plans. There were 585,838 stock options granted, 1,361,525 options exercised, and 51,682 options forfeited during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. There were 283,653 restricted stock awards made during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. 209,911 non-vested stock awards vested and 25,104 non-vested stock awards were forfeited during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The related stock option expense was $1.2 million and $1.0 million and the related restricted stock compensation expense was $2.9 million

and $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The related stock option expense was $4.4 million and $4.2 million and the related restricted stock compensation expense was $9.1 million and $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

10.   Segment Information
 
The Company has two lines of business, real estate operations and private capital. Real estate operations is comprised of various segments while private capital consists of a single segment, on which the Company evaluates its performance:
 
  •  Real Estate Operations.  The Company operates industrial properties and manages its business by geographic markets. Such industrial properties typically comprise multiple distribution warehouse facilities suitable for single or multiple customers who are engaged in various types of businesses. The geographic markets where the Company owns industrial properties are managed separately because it believes each market has its own economic characteristics and requires its own operating, pricing and leasing strategies. Each market is considered to be an individual operating segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based upon property net operating income of the combined properties in each segment, which are listed below. In addition, the Company’s development business is included under real estate operations. It primarily consists of the Company’s development of real estate properties that are subsequently contributed to a joint venture fund in which the Company has an ownership interest and for which the Company acts as manager, or that are sold to third parties. The Company evaluates performance of the development business by reported operating segment based upon gains generated from the disposition and/or contribution of real estate. The assets of the development business generally include properties under development and land held for development. During the period between the completion of development of a property and the date the property is contributed to an unconsolidated joint venture or sold to a third party, the property and its associated rental income and property operating costs are included in the real estate operations segment because the primary activity associated with the property during that period is leasing. Upon contribution or sale, the resulting gain or loss is included as gains from dispositions of real estate interests or development profits, as appropriate.
 
  •  Private Capital.  The Company, through its private capital group, AMB Capital Partners, LLC, provides real estate investment, portfolio management and reporting services to co-investment joint ventures and clients. The private capital income earned consists of acquisition and development fees, asset management fees and priority distributions, and promoted interests and incentive distributions from the Company’s co-investment joint ventures and AMB Capital Partners’ clients. With respect to the Company’s U.S. and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
  Mexico funds and joint ventures, the Company typically earns a 90 basis points acquisition fee on the acquisition cost of third party acquisitions, asset management priority distributions of 7.5% of net operating income on stabilized properties, 70 basis points of total projected costs as asset management fees on renovation or development properties, and incentive distributions of 15% of the return over a 9% internal rate of return and 20% of the return over a 12% internal rate of return to investors on a periodic basis or at the end of a fund’s life. In Japan, the Company earns a 90 basis points acquisition fee on the acquisition cost of third party acquisitions, asset management priority distributions of 1.5% of 80% of the committed equity during the investment period and then 1.5% of unreturned equity, and incentive distributions of 20% of the return over a 10% internal rate of return and 25% of the return over a 13% internal rate of return to investors at the end of a fund’s life. In Europe, the Company earns a 90 basis points acquisition fee on the acquisition cost of third party acquisitions, asset management fees of 75 basis points on the gross asset value of the fund, and incentive distributions of 20% of the return over a 9% internal rate of return and 25% of the return over a 12% internal rate of return to investors on a periodic basis. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies under Note 2, Interim Financial Statements. The Company evaluates performance based upon private capital income.

(1) The markets included are a subset of the Company’s regions defined as East, Southwest and West Central in North America, Europe and Asia.
 
(2) Property net operating income (“NOI”) is defined as rental revenue, including reimbursements, less property operating expenses, which excludes depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. For a reconciliation of NOI to net income, see the table below.
 
The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate and useful supplemental performance measure because NOI reflects the operating performance of the Company’s real estate portfolio on a segment basis, and the Company uses NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess regional property level performance. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company’s financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs, or trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact the Company’s results from operations. Further, the Company’s NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI.

11.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
Commitments
 
Lease Commitments.  The Company has entered into operating ground leases on certain land parcels, primarily on-tarmac facilities and office space with remaining lease terms of one to 55 years. Buildings and improvements subject to ground leases are depreciated ratably over the lesser of the terms of the related leases or 40 years.
 
Standby Letters of Credit.  As of September 30, 2007, the Company has provided approximately $24.5 million in letters of credit, of which $17.2 million were provided under the Operating Partnership’s $550.0 million unsecured credit facility. The letters of credit were required to be issued under certain ground lease provisions, bank guarantees and other commitments.
 
Guarantees and Contribution Obligations.  Excluding parent guarantees associated with unsecured debt or contribution obligations as discussed in Part  I, Item 1: Notes 5 and 7 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” as of September 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding guarantees and contribution obligations in the aggregate amount of $380.7 million as described below.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding guarantees in the amount of $86.3 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As of September 30, 2007, the Company also guaranteed $29.1 million and $105.1 million on outstanding loans on three of its consolidated joint ventures and two of its unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.
 
Also, the Company has entered into contribution agreements with its unconsolidated joint venture funds. These contribution agreements require the Company to make additional capital contributions to the applicable joint venture fund upon certain defaults by the joint venture of certain of its debt obligations to the lenders. Such additional capital contributions will cover all or part of the applicable joint venture’s debt obligation and may be greater than the Company’s share of the joint venture’s debt obligation or the value of its share of any property securing such debt. The Company’s contribution obligations under these agreements will be reduced by the amounts recovered by the lender and the fair market value of the property, if any, used to secure the debt and obtained by the lender upon default. The Company’s potential obligations under these contribution agreements are $160.2 million as of September 30, 2007.
 
Performance and Surety Bonds.  As of September 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $15.2 million. These bonds were issued in connection with certain of its development projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure. The performance and surety bonds are renewable and expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of the improvements and infrastructure.
 
Promoted Interests and Other Contractual Obligations.  Upon the achievement of certain return thresholds and the occurrence of certain events, the Company may be obligated to make payments to certain of its joint venture partners pursuant to the terms and provisions of their contractual agreements with the Operating Partnership. From time to time in the normal course of the Company’s business, the Company enters into various contracts with third parties that may obligate it to make payments, pay promotes or perform other obligations upon the occurrence of certain events.
 
Contingencies
 
Litigation.  In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company may be involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of its properties. Management does not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Environmental Matters.  The Company monitors its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, assets or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that such a material environmental liability does not exist. The existence of any such material environmental liability would have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flow. The Company carries environmental insurance and believes that the policy terms, conditions, limits and deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice.
 
General Uninsured Losses.  The Company carries property and rental loss, liability, flood and terrorism insurance. The Company believes that the policy terms, conditions, limits and deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice. In addition, a significant number of the Company’s properties are located in areas that are subject to earthquake activity. As a result, the Company has obtained limited earthquake insurance on those properties. There are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses, such as those due to acts of war, that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Although the Company has obtained coverage for certain acts of terrorism, with policy specifications and insured limits that it believes are commercially reasonable, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to collect under such policies. Should an uninsured loss occur, the Company could lose its investment in, and anticipated profits and cash flows from, a property.
 
Captive Insurance Company.  The Company has a wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd. (Arcata), which provides insurance coverage for all or a portion of losses below the deductible under the Company’s third-party policies. The captive insurance company is one element of the Company’s overall risk management program. The Company capitalized Arcata in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. Arcata establishes annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience at the Company’s properties. Annually, the Company engages an independent third party to perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims, related deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata may be adjusted based on this estimate. Like premiums paid to third-party insurance companies, premiums paid to Arcata may be reimbursed by customers pursuant to specific lease terms. Through this structure, the Company believes that it has more comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Some of the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, 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 numerous 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,” “forecasting,” “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 should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indicators of whether, or the time at which, such performance or results will be achieved. There is no assurance that the events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. 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.
 
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:
 
  •  changes in general economic conditions or in the real estate sector;
 
  •  defaults on or non-renewal of leases by customers or renewal at lower than expected rent;
 
  •  difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in effecting acquisitions on advantageous terms and the failure of acquisitions to perform as we expect;
 
  •  risks and uncertainties affecting property development, redevelopment and value-added conversions (including construction delays, cost overruns, our inability to obtain necessary permits and financing, public opposition to these activities, as well as the risks associated with our expansion of and increased investment in our development business);
 
  •  risks of doing business internationally, including unfamiliarity with new markets and currency risks;
 
  •  risks of opening offices globally (including increasing headcount);
 
  •  a downturn in the California, U.S., or the global economy or real estate conditions;
 
  •  risks of changing personnel and roles;
 
  •  losses in excess of our insurance coverage;
 
  •  our failure to divest of properties on advantageous terms or to timely reinvest proceeds from any such divestitures;
 
  •  unknown liabilities acquired in connection with acquired properties or otherwise;
 
  •  risks associated with using debt to fund acquisitions and development, including re-financing risks;
 
  •  risks related to our obligations in the event of certain defaults under joint venture and other debt;
 
  •  our failure to obtain necessary financing;
 
  •  our failure to maintain our current credit agency ratings;
 
  •  risks associated with equity and debt securities financings and issuances (including the risk of dilution);
 
  •  changes in local, state and federal regulatory requirements;
 
  •  increases in real property tax rates;
 
  •  risks associated with our tax structuring;

  •  increases in interest rates and operating costs or greater than expected capital expenditures;
 
  •  environmental uncertainties; and
 
  •  our failure to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
Our success also depends upon economic trends generally, various market conditions and fluctuations and those other risk factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and any amendments thereto. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our analysis only and speak as of the date of this report or as of the dates indicated in the statements. All of our forward-looking statements, including those in this report, are qualified in their entirety by this statement. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements.
 
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “AMB,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to AMB Property Corporation, AMB Property, L.P. and their other controlled subsidiaries, and the references to AMB Property Corporation include AMB Property, L.P. and their controlled subsidiaries. We refer to AMB Property, L.P. as the “operating partnership.” The following marks are our registered trademarks: AMB®; High Throughput Distribution® (HTD®); and Strategic Alliance Programs®.
 
GENERAL
 
We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust and expect that we have qualified, and will continue to qualify, as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ended December 31, 1997. As a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, our own employees perform our corporate administrative and management functions, rather than our relying on an outside manager for these services. We manage our portfolio of properties generally through direct property management performed by our own employees. Additionally, within our flexible operating model, we may from time to time establish relationships with third-party real estate management firms, brokers and developers that provide some property-level administrative and management services under our direction.
 
Management’s Overview
 
The primary source of our revenue and earnings is rent received from customers under long-term (generally three to ten years) operating leases at our properties, including reimbursements from customers for certain operating costs. We also generate earnings from our private capital business, which consists of acquisition and development fees, asset management fees and priority distributions, and promoted interests and incentive distributions from our co-investment joint ventures. Additionally, we generate earnings from the disposition of projects in our development-for-sale and value-added conversion programs, from the contributions of development properties to our co-investment joint ventures and from land sales. Our long-term growth is driven by our ability to:
 
  •  maintain and increase occupancy rates and/or increase rental rates at our properties;
 
  •  continue to develop properties profitably and sell to third parties or contribute to our co-investment joint ventures; and
 
  •  continue to grow our earnings from our private capital business through the contribution of properties or from the acquisition of new properties.
 
Real Estate Operations
 
Real estate fundamentals in the United States industrial markets held steady during the third quarter of 2007. According to data provided by Torto-Wheaton Research, availability was 9.2%, down 10 basis points from the prior quarter. The general trend remains favorable with availability down 30 basis points from a year ago. According to Torto-Wheaton Research, absorption in the quarter was 27.9 million square feet, a 21.5% decrease from the prior quarter, and construction completions in the quarter were 28.7 million square feet, a 22.0% decrease from the prior

quarter and 29.2% below the 18-year quarterly average. We believe that net absorption for the fourth quarter of 2007 will be moderately positive, which could drive vacancy rates lower by year-end. We think the strongest industrial markets in the U.S. are the major coastal markets tied to global trade, including Southern California, which is our largest market; South Florida; and the San Francisco Bay Area, where strong demand is driving up rents, year-over-year, in many of the area’s submarkets. We think there is steady demand with modest new construction in each of these three coastal markets. We observed that supply and demand fundamentals were favorable during the quarter in Seattle and Dallas. We believe the Toronto market remains healthy with low availability, although the pace of leasing activity during the quarter slowed from prior periods. We continue to see leasing activity in Chicago, New Jersey and Mexico City remaining active during the quarter, but deliveries of newly constructed facilities is outpacing demand. We also observed that Atlanta continues to lag behind other major distribution markets in North America, with relatively low level of absorption of available space year-to- date. Based on our assessment, the operating environment in our U.S. on-tarmac business remains good with improving cargo volumes and essentially no new supply.
 
In Europe, we believe that increased trade volumes with Asia, coupled with increased imports from the United States due to the weaker U.S. dollar, are driving demand, especially in Amsterdam and the port markets of Rotterdam and Hamburg. Paris, our largest European market, continues to maintain a healthy trend with 6% vacancy. We believe that the majority of the demand for industrial real estate in Western Europe comes from the replacement of obsolete buildings. In Japan, we think leasing activity remains generally strong and rents are firming. We believe occupancy in our markets is above 95% and newly delivered space continues to be absorbed at a steady pace.

(4) For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, on a consolidated basis, rent increases on renewals and rollovers were 12.2%, 3.9% and 9.9%, for our principal global markets, other global markets and total markets, respectively. For the year-to-date ended September 30, 2007, on a consolidated basis, rent increases on renewals and rollovers were 5.2%, 3.1% and 4.7%, for our principal global markets, other global markets and total markets, respectively.
 
We believe that higher occupancy levels in our portfolio, driven in part by strengthening fundamentals in our markets tied to global trade, are contributing to rental rate growth in our portfolio. Our operating portfolio’s average occupancy rate in the third quarter of 2007 was 95.4%, on an owned and managed basis, an increase of 50 basis points from the prior quarter and from September 30, 2006. Rental rates on lease renewals and rollovers in our portfolio increased 8.9% in the third quarter of 2007, which we think reflect the generally positive trends in real

estate fundamentals in our markets. During the quarter, cash-basis same store net operating income, with and without the effect of lease termination fees, grew by 5.3% and 5.1%, respectively, on an owned and managed basis. See “Supplemental Earnings Measures” below for a discussion of cash-basis same store net operating income and a reconciliation of cash-basis same store net operating income and net income. We believe that market rents have generally recovered from their lows and, in many of our markets, are back to or above their prior peak levels of 2001.
 
Private Capital Business
 
In June 2007, we announced the formation of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, our eleventh co-investment fund since our initial public offering in 1997. This Euro-denominated, open-end commingled fund is our tenth active fund. The fund’s investment strategy focuses on acquiring stabilized industrial distribution properties, including those developed by us, near high-volume airports, seaports and transportation networks, and in the major metropolitan areas of Europe, with initial target markets in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and Central/Eastern Europe. The gross asset value of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS was approximately $924 million at September 30, 2007.
 
Going forward, we think our co-investment program with private-capital investors will continue to serve as a significant source of revenues and capital for new investments. Through these co-investment joint ventures, we typically earn acquisition fees, asset management fees and priority distributions, as well as promoted interests and incentive distributions based on the performance of the co-investment joint ventures; however, we cannot assure you that we will continue to do so. Through contribution of development properties to our co-investment joint ventures, we expect to recognize value creation from our development pipeline. In anticipation of the formation of future co-investment joint ventures, we may also hold acquired and newly developed properties for later contribution to future funds.
 
As of September 30, 2007, we owned approximately 81.0 million square feet of our properties (57.5% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures. We may make additional investments through these co-investment joint ventures or new joint ventures in the future and presently plan to do so.
 
Development Business
 
Our development business consists of conventional development, redevelopment, land sales, and value added conversions. We generate earnings from our development business through the disposition or contribution of projects from these categories. We expect our development business to be a significant driver of our earnings growth as we expand the pipeline across each category.
 
We believe that customer demand for new industrial space in strategic markets tied to global trade will continue to outpace supply. To capitalize on this demand, we intend to continue to expand our development business in our existing target markets and into new markets around the world that are essential to global trade. We also will continue to redevelop existing industrial buildings opportunistically by investing significant amounts of capital to enhance the functionality of the properties to meet current industrial market demands. In addition to our committed development pipeline, we hold a total of 2,405 acres of land for future development or sale, 95% of which is located in North America. We currently estimate that these 2,405 acres of land could support approximately 42.1 million square feet of future development.
 
We believe that our historical investment focus on industrial real estate in some of the world’s most strategic infill markets, positions us to create value through the select conversion of industrial properties to higher and better uses (value-added conversions). Generally, we expect to sell to third parties our value-added conversion projects at some point in the re-entitlement/conversion process, thus recognizing the enhanced value of the underlying land that supports the property’s repurposed use. The most distinguishing characteristics of a value-added conversion project from redevelopment, sale, or other transaction is that the use of the property typically involves a significant enhancement or change in use from industrial distribution warehouse to a higher and better use, such as office, retail or residential, and that the sale price for the property is typically based on the value of the underlying land supporting the property’s repurposed use, not its value as an industrial distribution warehouse.

Table of Contents

Our long-term capital allocation goal is to have approximately 50% of our owned and managed operating portfolio invested in non-U.S. markets (based on owned and managed annualized base rent). As of September 30, 2007, our non-U.S. operating properties comprised 21.4% of our owned and managed operating portfolio (based on annualized base rent) and 2.2% of our consolidated operating portfolio (based on annualized base rent). In addition to the United States, we include Canada and Mexico as target countries in North America. In Europe, our target countries currently are Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. In Asia, our target countries currently are China, India, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. We expect to add additional target countries outside the United States in the future, including countries in Central/Eastern Europe.
 
To maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust, we must pay dividends to our stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our taxable income. As a result, we cannot rely on retained earnings to fund our on-going operations to the same extent that other corporations that are not real estate investment trusts can. We must continue to raise capital in both the debt and equity markets to fund our working capital needs, acquisitions and developments. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a complete discussion of the sources of our capital.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
In the preparation of financial statements, we utilize certain critical accounting policies. There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies included in the notes to our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
THE COMPANY
 
We acquire, develop and operate industrial properties in key distribution markets tied to global trade throughout North America, Europe and Asia. We use the terms “industrial properties” or “industrial buildings” to describe various types of industrial properties in our portfolio and use these terms interchangeably with the following: logistics facilities, centers or warehouses; distribution facilities, centers or warehouses; High Throughput Distribution® (HTD®) facilities; or any combination of these terms. We use the term “owned and managed” to describe assets in which we have at least a 10% ownership interest, for which we are the property or asset manager, and which we intend to hold for the long-term.
 
We commenced operations as a fully-integrated real estate company effective with the completion of our initial public offering on November 26, 1997. Our strategy focuses on providing industrial distribution warehouse space to customers who value the efficient movement of goods through the global supply chain, primarily in the world’s busiest distribution markets: large, supply-constrained infill locations with dense populations and proximity to airports, seaports and major highway systems. As of September 30, 2007, we owned, or had investments in, on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 140.8 million square feet (13.1 million square meters) and 1,168 buildings in 44 markets within


39


Table of Contents

thirteen countries. Additionally, as of September 30, 2007, we managed, but did not have a significant ownership interest in, industrial and other properties totaling approximately 1.5 million rentable square feet.
 
We operate our business primarily through our subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “operating partnership”. As of September 30, 2007, we owned an approximate 96.0% general partnership interest in the operating partnership, excluding preferred units. As the sole general partner of the operating partnership, we have the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for and discretion in its day-to-day management and control.
 
Our investment strategy generally targets customers whose businesses are tied to global trade, which, according to the World Bank, has grown more than three times the world gross domestic product growth rate over the last 30 years. To serve the facility needs of these customers, we seek to invest in major global distribution markets and transportation hubs that, generally, are tied to global trade.
 
Our strategy is to be a leading provider of industrial properties in supply-constrained submarkets of our target markets. These infill submarkets are generally characterized by large population densities and typically offer substantial consumer concentrations, proximity to large clusters of distribution-facility users and significant labor pools, and are generally located near key international passenger and cargo airports, seaports and major highway systems. When measured by annualized base rent, on an owned and managed basis, the substantial majority of our portfolio of industrial properties is located in our target markets, and much of this is in in-fill submarkets within our target markets. In-fill locations are characterized by supply constraints on the availability of land for competing projects as well as physical, political or economic barriers to new development.
 
Further, in many of our target markets, we focus on HTD® facilities, which are buildings designed to facilitate the rapid distribution of our customers’ products rather than the storage of goods. Our investment focus on HTD® assets is based on what we think to be a global trend toward lower inventory levels and expedited supply chains. HTD® facilities generally have a variety of physical characteristics that allow for the rapid transport of goods from point-to-point. These physical characteristics could include numerous dock doors, shallower building depths, fewer columns, large truck courts and more space for trailer parking. We think these building characteristics represent an important success factor for time-sensitive customers such as air express, logistics and freight forwarding companies, and that these facilities function best when located in convenient proximity to transportation infrastructure, such as major airports and seaports.
 
Of approximately 140.8 million square feet as of September 30, 2007:
 
  •  on an owned and managed basis, which include investments held on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, we owned or partially owned approximately 114.0 million square feet (principally warehouse distribution buildings) that were 95.5% leased;
 
  •  on an owned and managed basis, which include investments held on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, we had investments in 51 industrial development projects, which are expected to total approximately 16.8 million square feet upon completion;
 
  •  on a consolidated basis, we owned ten development projects, totaling approximately 2.5 million square feet, which are available for sale or contribution;
 
  •  through non-managed unconsolidated joint ventures, we had investments in 46 industrial operating properties, totaling approximately 7.4 million square feet; and
 
  •  we held approximately 0.1 million square feet, which is the location of our global headquarters.
 
Our global headquarters are located at Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco, California 94111; our telephone number is (415) 394-9000. We maintain other office locations in Amsterdam, Atlanta, Baltimore, Beijing, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Delhi, Frankfurt, Los Angeles, Menlo Park, Nagoya, Narita, New Jersey, New York, Osaka, Paris, Seoul, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Singapore, Tokyo and Vancouver. As of September 30, 2007, we employed 491 individuals: 186 in our San Francisco headquarters, 59 in our Boston office, 48 in our Tokyo office, 41 in our Amsterdam office and the remainder in our other offices.

Operating Strategy
 
We base our operating strategy on a variety of operational and service offerings, including in-house acquisitions, development, redevelopment, value-added conversion, asset management, property management, leasing, finance, accounting and market research. Our strategy is to leverage our expertise across a large customer base, and complement our internal management resources with long-standing relationships with entrepreneurial real estate management and development firms in certain of our target markets.
 
We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local business and best operated by local teams in each market comprised of AMB employees, local alliance partners or both. We intend to continue to increase utilization of internal management resources in target markets to achieve both operating efficiencies and to expose our customers to the broadening array of AMB service offerings, including access to multiple locations worldwide and build-to-suit developments. We actively manage our portfolio, whether directly or with an alliance partner, by establishing leasing strategies, negotiating lease terms, pricing, and level and timing of property improvements.
 
Growth Strategies
 
Growth through Operations
 
We seek to generate long-term internal growth through rent increases on existing space and renewals on rollover space, working to maintain a high occupancy rate at our properties and to control expenses by capitalizing on the economies of scale inherent in owning, operating and growing a large, global portfolio. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, rent on renewed and re-leased space in our operating portfolio increased 8.9%, on an owned and managed basis. This amount excludes expense reimbursements, rental abatements, percentage rents and straight-line rents. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, cash-basis same store net operating income, including lease termination fees, increased by 5.3%, on an owned and managed basis, and 5.1% excluding lease termination fees. While we think that it is important to view real estate as a long-term investment, past results are not necessarily an indication of future performance. See “Supplemental Earnings Measures” for a discussion of cash-basis same store net operating income and a reconciliation of cash-basis same store net operating income and net income and Part I, Item 1: Note 10 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for detailed segment information, including revenue attributable to each segment, gross investment in each segment and total assets.
 
Growth through Development, Redevelopment and Value-Added Conversions
 
We think that the development, redevelopment and expansion of well-located, high-quality industrial properties generally provide us with attractive investment opportunities at higher rates of return than may be obtained from the purchase of existing properties. Through the deployment of our in-house development and redevelopment expertise, we seek to create value both through new construction and the acquisition and management of redevelopment opportunities. We believe that our historical focus on infill locations creates a unique opportunity to enhance stockholder value through the select conversion of industrial properties to higher and better uses, through our value-added conversion business. Value-added conversion projects generally involve a significant enhancement or a change in use of the property from industrial distribution warehouse to a higher and better use, such as office, retail or residential. New developments, redevelopments and value-added conversions require significant management attention, and development and redevelopment require significant capital investment, to maximize their


41


Table of Contents

returns. Completed development and redevelopment properties are generally contributed to our co-investment joint ventures and held in our owned and managed portfolio or sold to third parties. Value-added conversion properties are generally sold to third parties at some point in the re-entitlement/conversion process, thus recognizing the enhanced value of the underlying land that supports the property’s repurposed use. We think our global market presence and expertise will enable us to continue to generate and capitalize on a diverse range of development opportunities.
 
The multidisciplinary backgrounds of our employees should provide us with the skills and experience to capitalize on strategic renovation, expansion and development opportunities. Many of our employees have specific experience in real estate development, both with us and with local, national or international development firms. Over the past five years, we have significantly expanded our development staff. We pursue development projects directly and in joint ventures, providing us with the flexibility to pursue development projects independently or in partnerships, depending on market conditions, submarkets or building sites.
 
Growth through Acquisitions and Capital Redeployment
 
Our acquisition experience and our network of property management, leasing and acquisition resources should continue to provide opportunities for growth. In addition to our internal resources, we have long-term relationships with third-party local property management firms, which may give us access to additional acquisition opportunities because such managers frequently market properties on behalf of sellers. In addition, we seek to redeploy capital from non-strategic assets into properties that better fit our current investment focus. Since 2002, we have sold more than $2 billion of operating properties, recognizing a gain of approximately $256 million, in an effort to exit non-target markets and dispose of assets that no longer fit our investment criteria.
 
We are generally engaged in various stages of negotiations for a number of acquisitions and dispositions that may include individual properties, large multi-property portfolios or other real estate companies. We cannot assure you that we will consummate any of these transactions. Such transactions, if we consummate them, may be material individually or in the aggregate. Sources of capital for acquisitions may include retained cash flow from operations, borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities, other forms of secured or unsecured debt financing, issuances of debt or preferred or common equity securities by us or the operating partnership (including issuances of units in the operating partnership or its subsidiaries), proceeds from divestitures of properties, assumption of debt related to the acquired properties and private capital from our co-investment partners.
 
Growth through Global Expansion
 
Our long-term capital allocation goal is to have approximately 50% of our owned and managed operating portfolio invested in non-U.S. markets (based on annualized base rent). As of September 30, 2007, our non-U.S. operating properties comprised 21.4% of our owned and managed operating portfolio (based on annualized base rent) and 2.2% of our consolidated operating portfolio (based on annualized base rent). In addition to the United States, we include Canada and Mexico as target countries in North America. In Europe, our target countries currently are Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. In Asia, our target countries currently are China, India, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. We expect to add additional target countries outside the United States in the future, including countries in Central/Eastern Europe.
 
Expansion into target markets outside the United States represents a natural extension of our strategy to invest in industrial property markets with high population densities, close proximity to large customer clusters and available labor pools, and major distribution centers serving global trade. Our international expansion strategy mirrors our focus in the United States on supply-constrained submarkets with political, economic or physical constraints to new development. Our international investments extend our offering of HTD® facilities for customers who value speed-to-market over storage. Specifically, we are focused on customers whose business is derived from global trade. In addition, our investments target major consumer distribution markets and customers. We think that our established customer relationships, our contacts in the air cargo, shipping and logistics industries, our underwriting of markets and investments and our strategic alliances with knowledgeable developers and managers

will assist us in competing internationally. For a discussion of the amount of our revenues attributable to the United States and international markets, please see Part I, Item 1: Note 10 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
 
Growth through Co-Investments
 
We co-invest in properties with private capital investors through partnerships, limited liability companies or joint ventures. Our co-investment joint ventures are managed by our private capital group and typically operate under the same investment strategy that we apply to our other operations. Generally, we will own a 15-50% interest in our co-investment joint ventures. We expect our co-investment program will continue to serve as a source of capital for acquisitions and developments; however, we cannot assure you that it will continue to do so. In addition, our co-investment joint ventures typically allow us to earn acquisition and development fees, asset management fees or priority distributions, as well as promoted interests or incentive distributions based on the performance of the co-investment joint ventures. As of September 30, 2007, we owned approximately 81.0 million square feet of our properties (57.5% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.
 
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Effective October 1, 2006, we deconsolidated AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. on a prospective basis due to the re-evaluation of the accounting for our investment in the fund because of changes to the partnership agreement regarding the general partner’s rights effective October 1, 2006. As a result, our results of operations presented below are not comparable between years presented.
 
The analysis below includes changes attributable to same store growth, acquisitions, development activity and divestitures. Same store properties are those that we owned during both the current and prior year reporting periods, excluding development properties stabilized after December 31, 2005 (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased or properties for which we have held a certificate of occupancy or where building has been substantially complete for at least 12 months).
 
As of September 30, 2007, same store industrial properties consisted of properties aggregating approximately 73.2 million square feet. The properties acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2007 consisted of two properties, aggregating approximately 0.3 million square feet. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, our acquisitions consisted of nine properties, aggregating approximately 1.3 million square feet. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, property divestitures and contributions consisted of seven properties, aggregating approximately 1.4 million square feet. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, property divestitures and contributions consisted of two properties, aggregating approximately 0.7 million square feet. The properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, consisted of six properties, aggregating approximately 0.7 million square feet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, our acquisitions consisted of 23 properties, aggregating approximately 5.9 million square feet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, property divestitures and contributions consisted of 21 properties, aggregating approximately 7.8 million square feet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, property divestitures and contributions consisted of 11 properties, aggregating approximately 3.0 million square feet. Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the acquisition of additional properties and dispositions. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical results.

U.S. industrial same store rental revenues decreased $10.8 million from the prior year for the three-month period due primarily to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., partially offset by an increase in average occupancy and rent increases on renewals and rollovers. Same store rental revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 would have been $133.2 million if AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. had been deconsolidated as of January 1, 2006. The properties acquired during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 consisted of 27 properties, aggregating approximately 6.6 million square feet. The properties acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2007, consisted of two properties, aggregating approximately 0.3 million square feet. The increase in rental revenues from development was primarily due to increased occupancy at several of our development projects where development activities have been substantially completed as well as an increase in the number of development projects. Other industrial revenues include rental revenues from development projects that have reached certain levels of operation but are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. The decrease in revenues from non-U.S. industrial properties was primarily due to the contribution of 4.2 million square feet of operating properties and approximately 0.5 million square feet of completed development projects into AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS. The increase in private capital income of $0.1 million was primarily due to an increase in acquisition fees and asset management fees as a result of an increase in total assets under management.

Same store properties’ operating expenses decreased $1.0 million from the prior year for the three-month period due primarily to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. Same store operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 would have been $35.6 million if AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. had been deconsolidated as of January 1, 2006. The increase of approximately $2.2 million, had AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. been deconsolidated as of January 1, 2006, was due primarily to an increase in real estate taxes and insurance expenses. The 2006 acquisitions consisted of 27 properties, aggregating approximately 6.6 million square feet. The 2007 acquisitions consisted of two properties, aggregating approximately 0.3 million square feet. Other industrial expenses include expenses from development properties that have reached certain levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. In 2006 and 2007, we continued to contribute non-U.S. properties to our unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures resulting in a decrease in non-U.S. industrial operating costs. The decrease in property operating costs for non-U.S. industrial properties was primarily due to the contribution of 4.2 million square feet of operating properties and approximately 0.5 million square feet of completed development projects into AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was due to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to additional staffing and the opening of new offices both domestically and internationally. Other expenses include gains and losses on the non-qualified deferred compensation plan and certain deal costs. Fund costs represent general and administrative costs paid to third parties associated with our co-investment joint ventures.

The increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of approximately $1.2 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to an increase in asset management fees due to the formation of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS in June 2007 and the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. Other income increased approximately $5.1 million from the prior year for the three-month period due primarily to an increase in gains on currency remeasurement of $4.7 million. Development profits represent gains from the sale or contribution of development projects including land. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we sold two completed development projects totaling 0.1 million square feet for approximately $26.3 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $8.5 million. In addition, we contributed three completed development projects totaling 0.9 million square feet into AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, and one completed development project totaling 0.5 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., both unconsolidated joint ventures, for a total of $217.9 million. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $39.8 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we sold three development projects, totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet for $38.4 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $7.0 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we contributed one completed development project totaling approximately 0.7 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., an unconsolidated joint venture. As a result of this contribution, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $16.5 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed property acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. The decrease in interest expense, including amortization, was due primarily to decreased borrowings on unsecured credit facilities and the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P.

U.S. industrial same store rental revenues decreased $34.3 million from the prior year for the nine-month period due primarily to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., partially offset by an increase in average occupancy and rent increases on renewals and rollovers. Same store rental revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 would have been $397.2 million if AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. had been deconsolidated as of January 1, 2006. The 2006 acquisitions consisted of 27 properties, aggregating approximately 6.6 million square feet. The 2007 acquisitions consisted of six properties, aggregating approximately 0.7 million square feet. The increase in rental revenues from development was primarily due to increased occupancy at several of our development projects where development activities have been substantially completed as well as an increase in the number of development projects. The decrease in revenues from non-U.S. industrial properties was primarily due to the contribution of 4.2 million square feet of operating properties and approximately 0.5 million square feet of completed development projects into AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS. The increase in private capital income of $4.4 million was primarily due to an increase in acquisition fees and asset management fees as a result of an increase in total assets under management.

Same store properties’ operating expenses showed a decrease of $4.8 million from the prior year for the nine-month period due primarily to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. Same store operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 would have been $107.8 million if AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. had been deconsolidated as of January 1, 2006. The increase of approximately $5.9 million, had AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. been deconsolidated as of January 1, 2006, was primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes and insurance expenses. The 2006 acquisitions consisted of 27 properties, aggregating approximately 6.6 million square feet. The 2007 acquisitions consisted of six properties, aggregating approximately 0.7 million square feet. The increase in development operating costs was primarily due to increased operations in certain development projects which have been substantially completed. The increase in property operating costs from non-U.S. industrial properties is primarily due to the acquisition of properties in France, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands and Singapore during 2006 and 2007. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was due to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to additional staffing and the opening of new offices both domestically and internationally. The impairment losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were taken on a non-core asset as a result of leasing activities and changes in the economic environment. The impairment losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were taken on several non-core assets as a result of leasing activities and changes in the economic environment and the holding period of certain assets. Other expenses increased approximately $1.9 million from the prior year for the nine-month period due primarily to an increase in losses on the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The decrease of fund costs from the prior year for the nine-month period is due primarily to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P.

The decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of approximately $5.3 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to a decrease in gains from the disposition of real estate by our unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by increased earnings from the formation of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS in June 2007 and the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. Other income increased approximately $11.3 million from the prior year for the nine-month period due primarily to an increase in the gain on currency remeasurement of approximately $5.5 million, an increase in insurance proceeds of approximately $2.9 million related to losses from Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma and an increase in interest income of $1.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we contributed 4.2 million square feet in operating properties into AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, contributed a 0.2 million square foot operating property into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., and contributed an operating property aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet into AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, for a total of approximately $524.9 million. As a result of these contributions, we recognized gains from contribution of real estate interests of approximately $74.8 million, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party investors for cash. Development profits represent gains from the sale or contribution of development projects including land. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we sold seven completed development projects totaling 0.4 million square feet for approximately $71.9 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $14.7 million. In addition, we contributed twelve completed development projects totaling 3.0 million square feet and two land parcels into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, AMB DFS Fund I, LLC, and AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., five of our unconsolidated joint ventures. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $74.8 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed assets acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we sold one land parcel and four development projects, totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet for an aggregate sale price of $46.0 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $7.8 million and contributed two completed development projects totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., and one completed development project totaling approximately 0.6 million square feet into AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $63.1 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. In addition, we received approximately $0.4 million in connection with the condemnation of a parcel of land resulting in a loss of $1.0 million, $0.8 million of which was the joint venture partner’s share. The decrease in interest expense, including amortization, was due primarily to decreased borrowings on unsecured credit facilities and the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P.

The additional gain of $0.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 resulted primarily from the additional value received from the disposition of properties in 2006. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we divested ourselves of 13 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 0.9 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $59.1 million, with a resulting net gain of $24.3 million.

On April 17, 2007, the operating partnership redeemed all 800,000 of its outstanding 7.95% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units and all 800,000 of its outstanding 7.95% Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units. In addition, on April 17, 2007, AMB Property II, L.P., one of our subsidiaries, repurchased all 510,000 of its outstanding 8.00% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units. As a result of the redemptions and repurchase, we recognized a reduction of income available to common stockholders of $2.9 million for the original issuance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, AMB Property II, L.P., one of our subsidiaries, redeemed all 840,000 of its outstanding 8.125% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units, all 220,440 of its outstanding 7.75% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units and all 201,139 of its outstanding 7.95% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units. As a result, we recognized a decrease in income available to common stockholders of $1.0 million for the original issuance costs, net of discount on repurchase.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Balance Sheet Strategy.  In general, we use unsecured lines of credit, unsecured notes, preferred stock and common equity (issued by us and/or the operating partnership and its subsidiaries) to capitalize our wholly-owned assets. Over time, we plan to retire non-recourse, secured debt encumbering our wholly-owned assets and replace that debt with unsecured notes where practicable. In managing the joint ventures, in general, we use non-recourse, secured debt to capitalize our co-investment joint ventures.
 
We currently expect that our principal sources of working capital and funding for acquisitions, development, expansion and renovation of properties will include:
 
  •  retained earnings and cash flow from operations;
 
  •  private capital from co-investment partners;

50


Table of Contents

 
  •  net proceeds from contribution of properties and completed development projects to our co-investment joint ventures;
 
  •  net proceeds from the sales of development projects, value-added conversion projects and land to third parties;
 
  •  net proceeds from divestitures of properties;
 
  •  proceeds from equity (common and preferred) or debt securities offerings;
 
  •  borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities;
 
  •  other forms of secured or unsecured financing; and
 
  •  proceeds from limited partnership unit offerings (including issuances of limited partnership units by our subsidiaries).
 
We currently expect that our principal funding requirements will include:
 
  •  working capital;
 
  •  development, expansion and renovation of properties;
 
  •  acquisitions;
 
  •  debt service; and
 
  •  dividends and distributions on outstanding common and preferred stock and limited partnership units.
 
Cash flows.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, cash provided by operating activities was $216.9 million as compared to $221.1 million for the same period in 2006. This change is primarily due to gains from sales and contributions of real estate interests, net and changes in our assets and liabilities offset by an increase in operating distributions received by unconsolidated joint ventures. Cash used in investing activities was $437.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to cash used for investing activities of $924.8 million for the same period in 2006. This change is primarily due to an increase in proceeds from divestitures of real estate due largely to the formation of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, offset by a decrease in funds used for property acquisitions and an increase in additions to interests in unconsolidated joint ventures. Cash provided by financing activities was $331.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $622.1 million for the same period in 2006. This change is due primarily to an increase in payments on secured debt, other debt, credit facilities, senior debt, the cost of repurchase of preferred units, and a decrease in proceeds from issuances of senior debt, and contributions from co-investment partners. This activity was partially offset by the issuance of common stock and increased borrowings on secured debt and credit facilities.
 
We believe our sources of working capital, specifically our cash flow from operations, borrowings available under our unsecured credit facilities and our ability to access private and public debt and equity capital, are adequate for us to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. The unavailability of capital could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

Property Divestitures.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we divested ourselves of one industrial building aggregating 0.1 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $7.5 million, with a resulting net gain of $1.9 million and accumulated depreciation re-capture of approximately $2.0 million associated with the sale of one re-development project. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we divested ourselves of one industrial building, aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $5.2 million, with a resulting net gain of $0.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we divested ourselves of 13 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 0.9 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $59.1 million, with a resulting net gain of $24.3 million.
 
Gains from Sale or Contribution of Real Estate Interests.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we contributed operating properties for approximately $524.9 million, aggregating approximately 4.5 million square feet, into AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. and AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC. We recognized a gain of $74.8 million on the contributions, representing the portion of our interest in the

contributed properties acquired by the third-party investors for cash. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, there were no comparable events.
 
Properties Held for Contribution.  As of September 30, 2007, we held for contribution to co-investment joint ventures 16 industrial projects with an aggregate net book value of $258.6 million, which, when contributed to a joint venture, will reduce our average ownership interest in these projects from approximately 90% currently to an expected range of 15-20%.
 
Properties Held for Divestiture.  As of September 30, 2007, we held for divestiture six industrial projects with an aggregate net book value of $63.7 million. These properties either are not in our core markets or do not meet our current investment objectives, or are included as part of our development-for-sale or value-added conversion programs. The divestitures of the properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions. Properties held for divestiture are stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell.
 
Co-Investment Joint Ventures.  Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures are managed by our private capital group and provide us with an additional source of capital to fund certain acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital income. We consolidate these joint ventures for financial reporting purposes when they are not variable interest entities and when we are the sole managing general partner and control all major operating decisions. However, in certain cases, our co-investment joint ventures are unconsolidated because we do not control all major operating decisions and the general partners do not have significant rights under the Emerging Issue Task Force Issue No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights.
 
Third-party equity interests in the joint ventures are reflected as minority interests in the consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2007, we owned approximately 81.0 million square feet of our properties (57.5% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We may make additional investments through these joint ventures or new joint ventures in the future and presently plan to do so. The following table summarizes our unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures at September 30, 2007 (dollars in thousands):

(7) AMB DFS Fund I, LLC is a co-investment partnership formed in 2006 with a subsidiary of GE Real Estate to build and sell properties.
 
On June 30, 2007, we exercised our option to purchase the remaining equity interest held by an unrelated third party, based on the fair market value as stipulated in the joint venture agreement, in AMB Pier One, LLC, for a nominal amount. AMB Pier One, LLC, is a joint venture related to the 2000 redevelopment of the pier that houses our global headquarters in San Francisco, California. As a result, the investment was consolidated as of June 30, 2007.
 
As of September 30, 2007, we also had an approximate 39.0% unconsolidated equity interest in G.Accion, a Mexican real estate company. G.Accion provides management and development services for industrial, retail, residential and office properties in Mexico. In addition, as of September 30, 2007, one of our subsidiaries also had an approximate 5% interest in IAT Air Cargo Facilities Income Fund (IAT), a Canadian income trust specializing in aviation-related real estate at Canada’s leading international airports. This equity investment of approximately $2.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively, is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
 
Common and Preferred Equity.  We have authorized for issuance 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which the following series were designated as of September 30, 2007: 1,595,337 shares of series D preferred; 2,300,000 shares of series L cumulative redeemable preferred, of which 2,000,000 are outstanding; 2,300,000 shares of series M cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding; 3,000,000 shares of series O cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding; and 2,000,000 shares of series P cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding.
 
We have a shelf registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under which we may issue an unspecified number of shares of our common stock and preferred stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we issued approximately 8.4 million shares of our common stock under this shelf registration statement for net proceeds of approximately $472.1 million, which were contributed to the operating partnership in exchange for the issuance of approximately 8.4 million general partnership units. As a result of the common stock issuance, there was a significant reallocation of partnership interests due to the difference in our stock price at issuance as compared to the book value per share at the time of issuance. We intend to use the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes and, over the long term, to expand our global development business.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate price of $53.4 million at a weighted average price of $49.87 per share. We may still repurchase up to $146.6 million of our common stock under this program.
 
Debt.  In order to maintain financial flexibility and facilitate the deployment of capital through market cycles, we presently intend over the long term to operate with an our share of total debt-to-our share of total market capitalization ratio of approximately 45% or less. As of September 30, 2007, our share of total debt-to-our share of total market capitalization ratio was 32.0%. (See footnote 1 to the Capitalization Ratios table below for our definitions of “our share of total market capitalization,” “market equity” and “our share of total debt.”) However, we typically finance our co-investment joint ventures with secured debt at a loan-to-value ratio of 50-65% per our joint venture agreements. Additionally, we currently intend to manage our capitalization in order to maintain an investment grade rating on our senior unsecured debt. Regardless of these policies, however, our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, our management could alter or eliminate these policies without stockholder approval or circumstances could arise that could render us unable to comply with these policies.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the aggregate principal amount of our secured debt was $1.4 billion, excluding unamortized debt premiums of $4.6 million. Of the $1.4 billion of secured debt, $1.1 billion is secured by properties in our joint ventures. The secured debt is generally non-recourse and bears interest at rates varying from 1.1% to 9.4% per annum (with a weighted average rate of 6.0%) and final maturity dates ranging from October 2007 to


54


Table of Contents

February 2024. As of September 30, 2007, $1.1 billion of the secured debt obligations bear interest at fixed rates with a weighted average interest rate of 6.3%, while the remaining $254.2 million bear interest at variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 4.9%).
 
On February 14, 2007, seven subsidiaries of AMB-SGP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which is one of our subsidiaries, entered into a loan agreement for a $305 million secured financing. On the same day, pursuant to the loan agreement, the same seven subsidiaries delivered four promissory notes to the two lenders, each of which matures on March 5, 2012. One note has a principal of $160 million and an interest rate that is fixed at 5.29%. The second is a $40 million note with an interest rate of 81 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate. The third note has a principal of $84 million and a fixed interest rate of 5.90%. The fourth note has a principal of $21 million and bears interest at a rate of 135 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the operating partnership had outstanding an aggregate of $1.0 billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.1% and had an average term of 4.5 years. The unsecured senior debt securities are subject to various covenants. The covenants contain affirmative covenants, including compliance with financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations.
 
We guarantee the operating partnership’s obligations with respect to its senior debt securities. If we are unable to refinance or extend principal payments due at maturity or pay them with proceeds from other capital transactions, then our cash flow may be insufficient to pay dividends to our stockholders in all years and to repay debt upon maturity. Furthermore, if prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing (such as the reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans) result in higher interest rates upon refinancing, then the interest expense relating to that refinanced indebtedness would increase. This increased interest expense would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.
 
Credit Facilities.  The operating partnership has a $550.0 million (includes Euros, Yen, British pounds sterling or U.S. dollar denominated borrowings) unsecured revolving credit facility, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 5.1% at September 30, 2007. This facility matures on June 1, 2010. We are a guarantor of the operating partnership’s obligations under the credit facility. The line carries a one-year extension option and can be increased to up to $700.0 million upon certain conditions. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the operating partnership’s long-term debt rating, which was 42.5 basis points as of September 30, 2007, with an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. The four-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component, under which up to $550.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Euros, Yen or British pounds sterling. The operating partnership uses the credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding development activity and general working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2007, was $231.8 million and the remaining amount available was $301.0 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $17.2 million.
 
AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of the operating partnership, has a Yen-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial borrowing limit of 55.0 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect at September 30, 2007, equaled approximately $479.1 million U.S. dollars and bore a weighted average interest rate of 1.2%. We, along with the operating partnership, guarantee the obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the credit facility, as well as the obligations of any other entity in which the operating partnership directly or indirectly own an ownership interest and which is selected from time to time to be a borrower under and pursuant to the credit agreement. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and for other real estate purposes in Japan, China and South Korea. Generally, borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility with certain real estate assets or equity in entities holding such real estate assets. The credit facility matures in June 2010 and has a one-year extension option. The extension option is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments under the facility at that time. The rate on the borrowings is generally TIBOR plus a margin, which is based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s long-term debt and was 42.5 basis points as of September 30, 2007. In addition, there is an annual facility fee, payable in quarterly amounts, which is based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s long-term debt, and


55


Table of Contents

was 15 basis points of the outstanding commitments under the facility as of September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2007, was $373.1 million in U.S. dollars. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations.
 
On July 16, 2007, certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and the operating partnership, each acting as a borrower, with us and the operating partnership as guarantors, entered into a fifth amended and restated revolving credit agreement for a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility that replaced the existing $250 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The fifth amended and restated credit facility amends the fourth amended and restated credit facility to, among other things, increase the facility amount to $500 million with an option to further increase the facility to $750 million, to extend the maturity date to June 2011 and to allow for future borrowing in Indian Rupees. We along with the operating partnership guarantee the obligations for such subsidiaries and other entities controlled by the operating partnership that are selected by the operating partnership from time to time to be borrowers under and pursuant to our credit facility. Generally, borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility. The credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $500.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars, pounds sterling, Euros and Indian Rupees. The line, which matures in June 2011 and carries a one-year extension option, can be increased to up to $750.0 million upon certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt, which was 60 basis points as of September 30, 2007, with an annual facility fee based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and general working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on this credit facility was approximately $213.4 million and bore a weighted average interest rate of 5.6%. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios by the operating partnership, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations.
 
On December 8, 2006, we executed a 228.0 million Euros facility agreement (approximately $303.3 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 12, 2007, the date the facility was assumed by AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, as discussed below), which provides that certain of our affiliates may borrow either acquisition loans, up to a 100.0 million Euros sub-limit (approximately $133.0 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 12, 2007), or secured term loans, in connection with properties located in France, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy or Spain. On March 21, 2007, we increased the facility amount limit from 228.0 million Euros to 328.0 million Euros. Drawings under the term facility bear interest at a rate of 65 basis points over EURIBOR and may occur until, and mature on, April 30, 2014. Drawings under the acquisition loan facility bear interest at a rate of 75 basis points over EURIBOR and are repayable within six months of the date of advance, unless extended. We initially guaranteed the acquisition loan facility and were the carve-out indemnitor in respect of the term loans. In accordance with the facility agreement, these responsibilities were transferred and we were fully discharged from all such obligations when, on June 12, 2007, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS assumed, and we were released from, all of our obligations and liabilities under the facility agreement. On June 12, 2007, there were 200.7 million Euros (approximately $267.0 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 12, 2007) of term loans and no acquisition loans outstanding under the facility agreement.

(3) The weighted average interest and average maturity for the unconsolidated joint venture debt were 4.7% and 5.3 years, respectively.
 
(4) Our share of total debt represents the pro rata portion of the total debt based on our percentage of equity interest in each of the consolidated or unconsolidated joint ventures holding the debt. We believe that our share of total debt is a meaningful supplemental measure, which enables both management and investors to analyze our leverage and to compare our leverage to that of other companies. In addition, it allows for a more meaningful comparison of our debt to that of other companies that do not consolidate their joint ventures. Our share of total debt is not intended to reflect our actual liability should there be a default under any or all of such loans or a

(1) Our definition of “total market capitalization” is total debt plus preferred equity liquidation preferences plus market equity. Our definition of “our share of total market capitalization” is our share of total debt plus preferred equity liquidation preferences plus market equity. Our definition of “market equity” is the total number of outstanding shares of our common stock and common limited partnership units multiplied by the closing price per share of our common stock as of September 30, 2007. Our definition of “preferred” is preferred equity liquidation preferences. Our share of total book capitalization is defined as our share of total debt plus minority interests to preferred unitholders and limited partnership unitholders plus stockholders’ equity. Our share of total debt is the pro rata portion of the total debt based on our percentage of equity interest in each of the consolidated or unconsolidated ventures holding the debt. We believe that our share of total debt is a meaningful supplemental measure, which enables both management and investors to analyze our leverage and to compare our leverage to that of other companies. In addition, it allows for a more meaningful comparison of

our debt to that of other companies that do not consolidate their joint ventures. Our share of total debt is not intended to reflect our actual liability should there be a default under any or all of such loans or a liquidation of the joint ventures. For a reconciliation of our share of total debt to total consolidated debt, a GAAP financial measure, please see the table of debt maturities and capitalization above.

Development Pipeline.  As of September 30, 2007, we had 51 industrial projects in our development pipeline, which are expected to total approximately 16.8 million square feet and have an aggregate estimated investment of $1.6 billion upon completion. We have an additional ten development projects available for sale or contribution totaling approximately 2.5 million square feet, with an aggregate estimated investment of $232.8 million. As of September 30, 2007, we and our joint venture partners have funded an aggregate of $1.1 billion and needed to fund an estimated additional $520.4 million in order to complete our development pipeline. The development pipeline, at September 30, 2007, included projects expected to be completed through the fourth quarter of 2009. In addition to our committed development pipeline, we hold a total of 2,405 acres of land for future development or sale, 95% of which is located in North America. We currently estimate that these 2,405 acres of land could support approximately 42.1 million square feet of future development.
 
Lease Commitments.  We have entered into operating ground leases on certain land parcels, primarily on-tarmac facilities and office space with remaining lease terms from one to 55 years. These buildings and improvements subject to ground leases are amortized ratably over the lesser of the terms of the related leases or 40 years.

Co-Investment Joint Ventures.  Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures are managed by our private capital group and provide us with an additional source of capital to fund acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital income. As of September 30, 2007, we had investments in co-investment joint ventures with a gross book value of $1.9 billion, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, and net equity investments in five unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures of $275.1 million and a gross book value of $4.0 billion. As of September 30, 2007, we may make additional capital contributions to current and planned co-investment joint ventures of up to $154.0 million (using the exchange rates at September 30, 2007) pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreements. From time to time, we may raise additional equity commitments for AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an open-ended unconsolidated co-investment joint venture formed in 2004 with institutional investors, which invests through a private real estate investment partnership, and for AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, an open-ended unconsolidated co-investment joint venture formed in 2007 with institutional investors. This would increase our obligation to make additional capital commitments to these funds. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., and the management regulations of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, we are obligated to contribute 20% of the total equity commitments until such time when our total equity commitment is greater than $150.0 million or 150.0 million Euros, respectively, at which time, our obligation is reduced to 10% of the total equity commitments. We expect to fund these contributions with cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, debt or equity issuances or net proceeds from property divestitures, which could adversely affect our cash flow.
 
Captive Insurance Company.  In December 2001, we formed a wholly owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd. (Arcata), which provides insurance coverage for all or a portion of losses below the deductible under our third-party policies. The captive insurance company is one element of our overall risk management program. We capitalized Arcata in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. Arcata established annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience of our properties. Annually, we engage an independent third party to perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims, related deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata may be adjusted based on this estimate. Like premiums paid to third-party insurance companies, premiums paid to Arcata may be reimbursed by customers pursuant to specific lease terms. Through this structure, we think that we have more comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.
 
Potential Contingent and Unknown Liabilities.  Contingent and unknown liabilities may include the following:
 
  •  liabilities for environmental conditions;
 
  •  claims of customers, vendors or other persons dealing with our acquisition transactions that had not been asserted prior to our formation or acquisition transactions;
 
  •  accrued but unpaid liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business; and
 
  •  tax liabilities;
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
Standby Letters of Credit.  As of September 30, 2007, we had provided approximately $24.5 million in letters of credit, of which $17.2 million was provided under the operating partnership’s $550.0 million unsecured credit facility. The letters of credit were required to be issued under certain ground lease provisions, bank guarantees and other commitments.
 
Guarantees and Contribution Obligations.  Excluding parent guarantees associated with unsecured debt or contribution obligations as discussed in Part  I, Item 1: Notes 5 and 7 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial

Statements,” as of September 30, 2007, we had outstanding guarantees and contribution obligations in the aggregate amount of $380.7 million as described below.
 
As of September 30, 2007, we had outstanding guarantees in the amount of $86.3 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As of September 30, 2007, we also guaranteed $29.1 million and $105.1 million on outstanding loans on three of our consolidated joint ventures and two of our unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.
 
Also, we have entered into contribution agreements with certain of our unconsolidated joint venture funds. These contribution agreements require us to make additional capital contributions to the applicable joint venture fund upon certain defaults by the joint venture of certain of its debt obligations to the lenders. Such additional capital contributions will cover all or part of the applicable joint venture’s debt obligation and may be greater than our share of the joint venture’s debt obligation or the value of our share of any property securing such debt. Our contribution obligations under these agreements will be reduced by the amounts recovered by the lender and the fair market value of the property, if any, used to secure the debt and obtained by the lender upon default. Our potential obligations under these contribution agreements are $160.2 million as of September 30, 2007.
 
Performance and Surety Bonds.  As of September 30, 2007, we had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $15.2 million. These bonds were issued in connection with certain of our development projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure. Performance and surety bonds are renewable and expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of the improvements and infrastructure.
 
Promoted Interests and Other Contractual Obligations.  Upon the achievement of certain return thresholds and the occurrence of certain events, we may be obligated to make payments to certain of our joint venture partners pursuant to the terms and provisions of their contractual agreements with us. From time to time in the normal course of our business, we enter into various contracts with third parties that may obligate us to make payments, pay promotes, or perform other obligations upon the occurrence of certain events.
 
SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS MEASURES
 
Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations Per Share and Unit.  We believe that net income, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, we consider funds from operations, or FFO, and FFO per share and unit, or FFOPS, to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. Currently and historically, we calculate FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, as net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, less gains (or losses) from dispositions of real estate held for investment purposes and real estate-related depreciation, and adjustments to derive our pro rata share of FFO of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. However, if the circumstance arises, we intend to include in our calculation of FFO gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated real estate held for contribution to our joint ventures. Although such a change, if instituted, will be a departure from the current NAREIT definition, we believe such a calculation of FFO will better reflect the value created as a result of the contributions. We define FFOPS as FFO per fully diluted weighted average share of our common stock and operating partnership unit. We do not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges. We believe that FFO and FFOPS are meaningful supplemental measures of our operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. Thus, FFO and FFOPS are supplemental measures of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that exclude historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. We believe that the use of FFO and FFOPS, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of real estate investment trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. We consider FFO and FFOPS to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate depreciation and amortization, FFO and FFOPS can help the investing

public compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to other companies. While FFO and FFOPS are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, these measures do not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and FFOPS also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor are FFO or FFOPS necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO or FFOPS may not be comparable to FFO or FFOPS reported by other real estate investment trusts that do not define FFO or FFOPS in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

SS NOI.  We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, we consider same-store net operating income, or SS NOI, and cash-basis SS NOI to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. Properties that are considered part of the same store pool include all properties that were owned, or owned and managed, as the case may be, as of the end of both the current and prior year reporting periods and exclude development properties for both the current and prior reporting periods. The same store pool is set annually and excludes properties purchased and developments stabilized after December 31, 2005 (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased or properties for which we have held a certificate of occupancy or where building has been substantially complete for at least 12 months). In deriving SS NOI, we define net operating income as rental revenues (as calculated in accordance with GAAP), including reimbursements, less property operating expenses, which excludes depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. In calculating cash-basis SS NOI, we exclude straight-line rents and amortization of lease intangibles from the calculation of SS NOI. We consider cash-basis SS NOI to be an appropriate and useful supplemental performance measure because it reflects the operating performance of our real estate portfolio excluding effects of non-cash adjustments and provides a better measure of actual cash-basis rental growth for a year-over-year comparison. In addition, we believe that SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI helps the investing public compare our operating performance with that of other companies. While SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, they do not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI also do not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs, or trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact our results from operations. Further, our computation of SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating these measures.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices, interest rates and international exchange rates. Our future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevailing market rates. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching projected cash inflows from operating, investing and financing activities with projected cash outflows for debt service, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to stockholders and unitholders, and other cash requirements. The majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which minimize the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our credit facilities and other variable rate borrowings and our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval, thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could adversely affect our cash flows. As of September 30, 2007, we had one outstanding interest rate swap with a notional amount of $25.0 million. See “Financial Instruments” below.
 
The table below summarizes the maturities and interest rates associated with our fixed and variable rate debt outstanding before net unamortized debt discounts of $5.1 million as of September 30, 2007 (dollars in thousands):

(1) Represents 66.0% of all outstanding debt.
 
(2) Represents 34.0% of all outstanding debt.
 
If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased or decreased by 10%, then the increase or decrease in interest cost on the variable rate debt would be $4.4 million (net of swaps) annually. As of September 30, 2007, the book value and the estimated fair value of our total consolidated debt (both secured and unsecured) was $3.3 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively, based on our estimate of current market interest rates.
 
As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, variable rate debt comprised 34.0% and 37.1%, respectively, of all our outstanding debt. Variable rate debt was $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
 
Financial Instruments.  We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value as an asset or liability, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income or income. For revenues or expenses denominated in non-functional currencies, we may use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. Our derivative financial instruments in effect at September 30, 2007 was one interest rate swap hedging cash flows of variable rate borrowings based on U.S. Libor (USD).

International Operations.  Our exposure to market risk also includes foreign currency exchange rate risk. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our subsidiaries operating in the United States and Mexico. The functional currency for our subsidiaries operating outside the United States, other than Mexico, is generally the local currency of the country in which the entity or property is located, mitigating the effect of foreign exchange gains and losses. Our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. We translate income statement accounts using the average exchange rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction date. The gains resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and totaled $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Our international subsidiaries may have transactions denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. In these instances, non-monetary assets and liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, gains from remeasurement included in our results of operations were $4.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively.
 
We also record gains or losses in the income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated.
 
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities may be substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
 
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

AMENDED AND RESTATED
AMB 2005
NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
Purpose
     AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) established the AMB Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan effective September 1, 1999, as amended and restated September 1, 2002 (the “Grandfathered Plan”) under which all deferred amounts were vested on or before December 31, 2004 and not subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to preserve the exemption from Section 409A of the Code for the Grandfathered Plan, the vested amounts deferred thereunder and the earnings on such vested amounts so deferred, deferrals for amounts vested on or after January 1, 2005 shall no longer be allowed under the Grandfathered Plan.
     The Company previously adopted the AMB 2005 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan for the benefit of a select group of management and highly compensated Employees and Directors who contribute materially to the continued growth, development and future business success of AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, that sponsor the plan. This plan was intended to comply with the provisions of and the Department of Treasury proposed and final rules, regulations and other guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code and not result in a penalty tax thereunder. In April 2007, the Department of Treasury issued final regulations pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. To conform with the final regulations, the Company hereby amends and restates the AMB 2005 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended and restated, the “Plan”). Any deferred amounts under the Grandfathered Plan which were not earned and vested as of December 31, 2004 shall automatically transfer to this Plan. This Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.
     This Plan shall consist of two plans, one for the benefit of a select group of management and highly compensated employees of the Employers as described in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA, and one for the benefit of Non-Employee members of the boards of directors of any Employer. To the extent required by law, the terms of this Plan applicable to Directors shall also constitute a separate written plan document with its terms set forth in the applicable portions of this Plan.
ARTICLE 1.
DEFINITIONS
     As used within this document, the following words and phrases have the meanings described in this Article 1 unless a different meaning is required by the context. Some of the words and phrases used in the Plan are not defined in this Article 1, but for convenience, are defined as they are introduced into the text. Words in the masculine gender shall be deemed to include the feminine gender. Any headings used are included for ease of reference only and are not to be construed so as to alter any of the terms of the Plan.
     1.1 “Account Balance” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, a credit on the records of the Employer equal to the sum of (i) the Deferral Account balance, (ii) the vested Company Contribution Account balance, (iii) the vested Company Matching Account balance, and (iv) the Restricted Stock Account balance. The Account Balance, and each other specified account balance, shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a Participant, or his or her designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this Plan.

-1-


 

     1.2 “Accounts” of a Participant shall mean, as the context indicates, either or all of his or her Deferral Account, Company Contribution Account, Company Matching Account and Restricted Stock Account.
     1.3 “Administrator” shall mean the Committee appointed pursuant to Article 10 to administer the Plan, or such other person or persons to whom the Committee has delegated its duties pursuant to Article 10.
     1.4 “Annual Bonus” shall mean any compensation, in addition to Base Annual Salary relating to services performed during any calendar year, whether or not paid in such calendar year or included on the Federal Income Tax Form W-2 for such calendar year, payable to a Participant as an Employee under any Employer’s annual bonus and cash incentive plans, excluding stock options and restricted stock.
     1.5 “Annual Company Contribution Amount” shall mean, for any one Plan Year, the amount determined in accordance with Section 3.6(b).

     1.7 “Annual Deferral Amount” shall mean that portion of a Participant’s Base Annual Salary, Annual Bonus and Directors Fees that a Participant elects to have, and is deferred, in accordance with Article 3, for any one Plan Year. In the event of a Participant’s Retirement, Disability, death or a Termination of Employment prior to the end of a Plan Year, such year’s Annual Deferral Amount shall be the actual amount withheld prior to such event.
     1.8 “Annual Installment Method” shall be an annual installment payment over the number of years selected by the Participant in accordance with this Plan, calculated as follows: The Account Balance of the Participant (or the Fixed Date Payout Account Balance, in the event of a Fixed Date Payout) shall be calculated as of the close of business three business days prior to the last business day of the fourth quarter preceding the distribution. The annual installment shall be calculated by multiplying this balance by a fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is the remaining number of yearly payments due the Participant. By way of example, if the Participant elects a ten year Annual Installment Method, the first payment shall be 1/10 of the Account Balance (or the Fixed Date Payout Account Balance, in the event of a Fixed Date Payout), calculated as described in this definition. The following year, the payment shall be 1/9 of the Account Balance (or the Fixed Date Payout Account Balance, in the event of a Fixed Date Payout), calculated as described in this definition.
     1.9 “Base Annual Salary” shall mean the annual cash compensation relating to services performed during any calendar year, whether or not paid in such calendar year or included on the Federal Income Tax Form W-2 for such calendar year, excluding bonuses, commissions, overtime, fringe benefits, stock options, relocation expenses, incentive payments, non-monetary awards, directors fees and other fees, automobile and other allowances paid to a Participant for employment services rendered (whether or not such allowances are included in the Employee’s gross income). Base Annual Salary shall be calculated before reduction for compensation voluntarily deferred or contributed by the Participant pursuant to all qualified or non-qualified plans of any Employer and shall be calculated to include amounts not otherwise included in the Participant’s gross income under Code Sections 125, 132(f), 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b) pursuant to plans established by any Employer; provided, however, that all such amounts will be included in compensation only to the extent that, had there been no such plan, the amount would have been payable in cash to the Employee.
     1.10 “Beneficiary” shall mean one or more persons, trusts, estates or other entities, designated in accordance with Article 7, that are entitled to receive benefits under this Plan upon the death of a Participant.

     (c) during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clauses (a), (b) or (d)) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; or
     (d) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation (or other entity); provided, that, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur (i) as the result of a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation or (ii) where more than fifty percent (50%) of the directors of the Company or the surviving entity after such merger or consolidation were directors of the Company immediately before such merger or consolidation.

Except as otherwise provided, this limitation shall be applied to all distributions that are “subject to the Deduction Limitation” under this Plan. If an Employer determines in good faith prior to a Change in Control that there is a reasonable likelihood that any compensation paid to a Participant for a taxable year of the Employer would not be deductible by the Employer solely by reason of the limitation under Code Section 162(m), then to the extent deemed necessary by the Employer to ensure that the entire amount of any distribution to the Participant pursuant to this Plan prior to the Change in Control is deductible, the Employer may defer all or any portion of a distribution under this Plan. Any amounts deferred pursuant to this limitation shall continue to be credited/debited with additional amounts in accordance with Section 3.8 below, even if such amount is being paid out in installments. The amounts so deferred and amounts credited thereon shall be distributed to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary (in the event of the Participant’s death) at the earliest possible date, as determined by the Employer in good faith, on which the deductibility of compensation paid or payable to the Participant for the taxable year of the Employer during which the distribution is made will not be limited by Section 162(m). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the Deduction Limitation shall not apply to any distributions made after a Change in Control.
     1.22 “Deferral Account” shall mean (i) the sum of all of a Participant’s Annual Deferral Amounts, plus (ii) amounts credited in accordance with all the applicable crediting provisions of this Plan that relate to the Participant’s Deferral Account, less (iii) all distributions made to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary pursuant to this Plan that relate to his or her Deferral Account.

     (a) Facts and circumstances which may be considered in determining whether a Separation of Service occurred, include, without limitation, whether the Participant continues to be treated as an employee for other purposes (such as continuation of salary and participation in employee benefit programs), whether similarly situated service providers have been treated consistently, and whether the Participant is eligible to perform services for, and realistically available to perform services for, other employers in the same line of business.
     (b) In addition, a Separation from Service shall be presumed to occur in the following instances:
  (i)   if a Participant’s period of leave exceeds six (6) months and the Participant’s right to reemployment or service is not provided either by statute or contract, then the Participant is deemed to have experienced a Separation from Service on the first day immediately following such six-month period;
 
  (ii)   if a Participant continues to provide services to an Employer, the facts and circumstances indicate that the Employer did not intend the Participant to provide more than insignificant services to the Employer; or
 
  (iii)   the Participant ceases to provide services as an Officer or Employee at an annual rate that is at least equal to twenty percent (20%) of the services rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding three full calendar years of employment (or, if employed less than three years, such lesser period).

  (ii)   the employment relationship is treated as continuing intact while the Participant is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence (such as temporary employment by the government) if the period of such leave does not exceed six (6) months, or if longer, so long as the individual’s right to reemployment or service with the Company or an Employer is provided by either statute or contract; provided that with respect to a disability leave, the employment relationship will be treated as continuing for a period of up to 29 months, unless terminated earlier by the Participant or Employer, regardless of whether the Participant retains a contractual right to reemployment;
 
  (iii)   where an Officer or Employee continues to provide services to a prior Employer in a capacity other than as an employee and such Officer or Employee is providing services at an annual rate that is fifty percent (50%) or more of the services rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding three full calendar years of employment (or if employed less than three years, such lesser period).
     In determining whether a separation of service has occurred, periods during which the Participant is on an unpaid bona fide leave of absence are disregarded (including for purposes of determining the relevant 36-month period), and periods during which the Participant is on a paid bona fide leave of absence are treated as periods during which the Participant provided services at the level at which the Participant would have been required to perform services to receive the compensation if not on a bona fide leave of absence. A leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Company or Employer.
     “Disability leave” means leave due to the Participant’s inability to perform the duties of his or her position or any substantially similar position by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months.

     1.59 “Termination of Employment” shall mean the severing of employment with all Employers, or service as a Director of the Company, voluntarily or involuntarily, for any reason other than Disability, death or an authorized leave of absence, which constitutes a Separation from Service with respect to the Company and Employer, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
     1.60 “Trust” shall mean one or more trusts established pursuant to that certain Trust Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2002, between the Company and the trustee named therein, as amended from time to time.
     1.61 “Unforeseeable Financial Emergency” shall mean an unanticipated emergency that is caused by an event beyond the control of the Participant that would result in severe financial hardship to the Participant not covered by insurance, liquidation of other assets (to the extent the liquidation itself will

-8-


 

not cause severe financial hardship, or cessation of deferrals under this Plan, resulting from (i) a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or a dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code) of the Participant, (ii) a loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or (iii) such other extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator and which constitutes an “unforeseeable emergency” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency shall not include, among other things, sending a child to college or purchasing a home.
     1.62 “Vesting Date” shall mean, with respect to Restricted Stock deferred hereunder, the date on which the last share or tranche of a Restricted Stock award would vest under the terms of the Equity Plan pursuant to which it was issued and the Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement but for the election to defer such Restricted Stock (i.e., when a Restricted Stock award fully vests).
     1.63 “Years of Service” shall mean each twelve (12) month period during which a Participant is employed by an Employer, including, without limitation, service as a Director, whether or not continuous, and including periods commencing prior to the effective date of this Plan; provided, however, that in the case of a Participant whose employment with an Employer or service as a Director has been interrupted by a period of twelve (12) consecutive months or more (a “Break in Service”), his or her Years of Service prior to such Break in Service shall be disregarded for any purpose under the Plan.

-12-


 

Participant may be smaller or larger than the amount credited to any other Participant, and the amount credited to any Participant for a Plan Year may be zero, even though one or more other Participants receive an Annual Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year.

  (ii)   In the event of a cash dividend or other non-Stock amount distributable with respect to Stock (“Non-Stock Dividends”), each of the Participant’s Accounts would be credited with an amount in cash equal to such Non-Stock Dividend. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such cash amounts shall not be credited to a Restricted Stock Account.

-13-


 

     (a) Election of Measurement Funds. A Participant, in connection with his or her initial deferral election in accordance with Section 3.1 above, shall elect, on the Election Form, one or more Measurement Fund(s) (as described in Section 3.8(c) below) to be used to determine the additional amounts to be credited to his or her Account Balance, unless changed in accordance with the next sentence. The Participant may (but is not required to) elect, by submitting an Election Form to the Administrator that is accepted by the Administrator, to add or delete one or more Measurement Fund(s) to be used to determine the additional amounts to be credited to his or her Account Balance, or to change the portion of his or her Account Balance allocated to each previously or newly elected Measurement Fund. If an election is made in accordance with the previous sentence, it shall become effective as soon as administratively practicable and shall continue thereafter until changed in accordance with the previous sentence. Changes may be made to allocations at any time during the Plan Year, up to a maximum of six (6) changes per Participant per Plan Year.
     (b) Proportionate Allocation. In making any election described in Section 3.8(a) above, the Participant shall specify on the Election Form, in increments of whole percentage points (1%), the percentage of his or her Account Balance to be allocated to a Measurement Fund (as if the Participant was making an investment in that Measurement Fund with that portion of his or her Account Balance).
     (c) Measurement Funds. The Administrator shall from time to time select types of Measurement Funds and specific Measurement Funds for deemed investment designation by Participants for the purpose of crediting additional amounts to his or her Account Balance. As necessary, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, discontinue, substitute or add a Measurement Fund. The Administrator shall notify the Participants of the types of Measurement Funds and the specific Measurement Funds selected from time to time.
     (d) Crediting or Debiting Method. The performance of each elected Measurement Fund (either positive or negative) will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, based on the performance of the Measurement Funds themselves. A Participant’s Account Balance shall be credited or debited as frequently as is administratively feasible, but no less often than quarterly, based on the performance of each Measurement Fund selected by the Participant, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
     (e) No Actual Investment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Measurement Funds are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such Measurement Fund, the allocation to his or her Account Balance thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account Balance shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his or her Account Balance in any such Measurement Fund. In the event that the Company or the Trustee (as that term is defined in the Trust), in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the Measurement Funds, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balance shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his or her behalf by the Employer or the Trust; the Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Employers.
     (f) Stock Accounts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary Restricted Stock Amounts may not be allocated to any Measurement Fund. A Participant’s Restricted Stock Account will be credited with any Restricted Stock Amounts deferred pursuant to Section 3.6(d) and any dividends deferred pursuant to Section 3.1(c).

FIXED DATE PAYOUTS
     4.1 Fixed Date Payout. In connection with each Election Form, a Participant may irrevocably elect to receive a future “Fixed Date Payout” from the Plan of his or her Fixed Date Payout Account Balance.

By way of example, if a one (1) year Fixed Date Payout is elected for Annual Deferral Amounts that are deferred in the Plan Year commencing January 1, 2006, the one (1) year Fixed Date Payout would become payable no earlier than January 1, 2007; and, if a Fixed Date Payout is elected for a Restricted Stock Amount granted on March 1, 2006 with a five (5) year vesting period on January 1 of each year, the Fixed Date Payout would become payable no earlier than January 1, 2011. A Participant shall elect on each Election Form on which a Fixed Date Payout is elected to receive the Fixed Date Payout Account Balance applicable to such election in a lump sum or pursuant to a Quarterly or Annual Installment Method over a period of up to ten (10) years, payable in the first (1st) week of January, April, July, and October, as applicable. If a Participant does not elect to have his or her Fixed Date Payout Account Balance paid in accordance with the Quarterly or Annual Installment Method, then such benefit shall be payable in a lump sum. The lump sum payment shall be made no later than sixty (60) days after the last day of any Plan Year designated by the Participant that is after the Earliest Fixed Date Payout Date. Any payment made shall be subject to the Deduction Limitation.
     4.2 Other Benefits Take Precedence Over Fixed Date. Should an event occur that triggers a benefit under Article 5 or 6, any Annual Deferral Amount or Restricted Stock Amount, plus amounts credited or debited thereon, that is subject to a Fixed Date Payout election under Section 4.1 shall not be paid in accordance with Section 4.1 but shall be paid in accordance with the other applicable Article.
ARTICLE 5.

remaining number of months and in the same amounts as such Retirement Benefit or Termination Benefit would have been paid to the Participant had the Participant survived.

  (i)   Upon receipt of a Notice of RMB Borrowing from any RMB Borrower in accordance with Clause 2.2 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall, on the date such Notice of RMB Borrowing is received by the Administrative Agent, notify the RMB Settlement Agent of the contents thereof and the availability of the RMB Advance at such time and whereupon the RMB Settlement Agent shall notify each RMB Lender of such RMB Lender’s share of such RMB Advance within the succeeding Business Day after its receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent. Such Notice of RMB Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by such RMB Borrower, unless such RMB Borrower shall pay any applicable expenses of the RMB Lenders pursuant to Section 2.20.
  (ii)   Not later than 12:00 p.m. (Beijing time) on the date of each RMB Advance as indicated in the applicable Notice of RMB Borrowing, each RMB Lender shall make available its share of such RMB Advance in Renminbi immediately available in PRC, to the RMB Settlement Agent at its account referred to in Clause 8. If any RMB Borrower has requested the issuance of a RMB Letter of Credit, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Beijing time) on the date of such issuance as indicated in the notice delivered pursuant to Clause 2.2(ii), the RMB Fronting Bank shall issue such RMB Letter of Credit in the amount so requested and deliver the same to the applicable RMB Borrower, with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify the RMB Settlement Agent). Immediately upon the issuance of each RMB Letter of Credit by the RMB Fronting Bank, the RMB Fronting Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other RMB Lender, and each such other RMB Lender shall be deemed, and hereby agrees, to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the RMB Fronting Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and a participation in such RMB Letter of Credit, any drawing thereunder, and its obligation to pay its RMB Commitment Proportion with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto, in an amount equal to such RMB Lender’s ratable share thereof. Upon any change in any of the RMB Commitments in accordance herewith, there shall be an automatic adjustment to such participations to reflect such changed shares. The RMB Fronting Bank shall have the primary obligation to fund any and all draws made with respect to such RMB Letter of Credit notwithstanding any failure of a participating RMB Lender to fund its ratable share of any such draw.

    Borrower, and the RMB Fronting Bank shall make such RMB Letter of Credit available to the applicable RMB Borrower, at its aforesaid address or at such address in PRC as such RMB Borrower shall request on the date of the issuance of such RMB Letter of Credit.
(iii)   Unless the RMB Settlement Agent shall have received notice from a RMB Lender prior to the date of any RMB Advance that such RMB Lender will not make available to the RMB Settlement Agent such RMB Lender’s share of such RMB Advance, the RMB Settlement Agent may assume that such RMB Lender has made such share available to the RMB Settlement Agent on the date of such RMB Advance in accordance with this Clause 2.3 and the RMB Settlement Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the applicable RMB Borrower on such date a corresponding amount on behalf of such RMB Lender. If and to the extent that such RMB Lender shall not have so made such share available to the RMB Settlement Agent, such RMB Lender agrees to repay to the RMB Settlement Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable RMB Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the RMB Settlement Agent. If such RMB Lender shall repay to the RMB Settlement Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such RMB Lender’s RMB Commitment Proportion included in such RMB Advance for purposes of this Agreement. If such RMB Lender shall not pay to the RMB Settlement Agent such corresponding amount after reasonable attempts are made by the RMB Settlement Agent to collect such amounts from such RMB Lender, the applicable RMB Borrower agrees to repay to the RMB Settlement Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amounts together with interest thereto, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such RMB Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the RMB Settlement Agent, one (1) Business Day after demand. Nothing contained in this Clause 2.3(iii) shall be deemed to reduce the RMB Commitment of any RMB Lender or in any way affect the rights of such RMB Borrower with respect to any defaulting RMB Lender or the RMB Settlement Agent. The failure of any RMB Lender to make available to the RMB Settlement Agent such RMB Lender’s share of any RMB Advance in accordance with Clause 2.3(ii) hereof shall not relieve any other RMB Lender of its obligations to fund its RMB Commitment, in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(iv)   Subject to the provisions hereof, the RMB Settlement Agent shall make available each RMB Advance to the applicable RMB Borrower in Renminibi immediately available in accordance with, and on the date set forth in, the applicable Notice of RMB Borrowing.

(i)   Each RMB Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such RMB Advance is made until the date it is repaid, at a rate per annum equal to 90% of the benchmark interest rate promulgated by the People’s Bank of China for fixed asset loan facilities (middle and long term loan facility) with a term over three to five years as of the first Drawdown Date (the “Interest Rate”). The interest rate herein shall be adjusted at the time of each RMB Advance or at the time of the continuance of any such RMB Advance in accordance with Section 2.4(ii) pursuant to the regulations of the People’s Bank of China to a rate per annum equal to 90% of the then applicable benchmark interest rate promulgated by the People’s Bank of China for fixed asset loan facilities with a term of over 3 to 5 years, and such interest rate shall be applicable to such RMB Advance.
(ii)   Prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to any RMB Advance, the applicable RMB Borrower may elect to continue all or any portion of such RMB Advances and, in connection therewith, elect a new Interest Period for such RMB Advances. Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Continuance”) to the Administrative Agent at least four (4) Business Days prior to, but excluding, the expiration date of the then current Interest Period (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify the RMB Settlement Agent), provided no RMB Advance may be continued when any Guarantor Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, with respect to the RMB Borrower delivering such Notice of, a Borrower Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. A Notice of Continuance may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant RMB Advances, so long as the portion to which such Notice of Continuance applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are RMB5,000,000 or more. Each Notice of Continuation shall specify: (1) the RMB Advances to which such notice applies; (2) the date on which the continuation is to be effective, and (3) the duration of the new Interest Period, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period. Upon receipt of a Notice of Continuation from any RMB Borrower pursuant to this subsection, the RMB Settlement Agent shall notify each RMB Lender the same day as it receives such notice of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by such RMB Borrower. If the applicable RMB Borrower fails to deliver a

  (iii)   Under PRC law, the default rate for the overdue payment of a loan is 130% to 150% and the default rate is 150% to 200% if a borrower does not use the capital of the loan for the purposes as provided in the relevant loan agreement. As such, in case of the occurrence of an Event of Default as provided in Clause 5.1(i), the outstanding principal amount of the RMB Advances, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest in respect of all RMB Advances, shall bear interest at the annual default rate of 130%, and in case of the occurrence of an Event of Default as a result of any breach by any RMB Borrower of the terms and conditions of Clause 2.11, the outstanding principal amount of the RMB Advances, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest in respect of all RMB Advances, shall bear interest at the annual default rate of 150%. For the occurrence of any other Event of Default other than those as mentioned above, the outstanding principal amount of the RMB Advances, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest in respect of all RMB Advances, shall bear interest at the annual default rate equal to the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%).
 
  (iv)   The RMB Settlement Agent shall determine each Interest Rate applicable to the RMB Advances hereunder and shall give prompt notice to the applicable RMB Borrower and the RMB Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.
 
  (v)   Except as provided in Clause 2.6(i), interest on all RMB Advances shall be payable on the last Business Day of the applicable Interest Period, provided if the applicable Interest Period is longer than 3 months, interest shall be paid at least every three months.
2.5   Maturity Date The term (the “Term”) of the RMB Commitments (and each RMB Lender’s obligations to make RMB Advances hereunder) shall terminate and expire on the Final Maturity. Upon the date of the termination of the Term, any RMB Advances then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon and all other RMB Obligations) shall be due and payable on such date.

19


 

2.6   Optional Prepayments
  (i)   Each RMB Borrower may, upon at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. (Beijing time) (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify the RMB Settlement Agent), prepay any RMB Advances made to such RMB Borrower, in whole or in part at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating for all RMB Advances of such RMB Borrower being prepaid at the same time RMB5,000,000 or more by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the RMB Advances of the several RMB Lenders.
 
  (ii)   Each RMB Borrower may, upon at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. (Beijing time) (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify the RMB Settlement Agent), reimburse the RMB Settlement Agent for the benefit of the RMB Fronting Bank for the amount of any drawing under a RMB Letter of Credit issued for the account of such RMB Borrower in whole or in part in any amount.
 
  (iii)   Any RMB Borrower may at any time return any undrawn RMB Letter of Credit issued for the account of such RMB Borrower to the RMB Fronting Bank in whole, but not in part, so long as such RMB Letter of Credit is authenticated as returned and cancelled by the applicable bank for the beneficiary of such RMB Letter of Credit, and the RMB Fronting Bank within a reasonable period of time shall give the Administrative Agent, the RMB Settlement Agent and each of the RMB Lenders notice of such return.
 
  (iv)   The RMB Borrowers jointly may at any time and from time to time cancel all or any part of the RMB Commitments in an amount of RMB5,000,000 or more in multiples of RMB1,000,000 by the delivery to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify the RMB Settlement Agent) of a notice of cancellation within the applicable time periods set forth in Clause 2.6(i) if there are no RMB Advances then outstanding or, if there are RMB Advances outstanding at such time as to which the RMB Commitments with respect thereto are being cancelled, upon at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice (by 1:00 p.m. (Beijing time)) to the Administrative Agent, whereupon all or such portion of the RMB Commitments, as applicable, shall terminate as to the applicable RMB Lenders, pro rata on the date set forth in such

20


 

      notice of cancellation, and, if there are any RMB Advances then outstanding, the applicable RMB Borrowers shall prepay all or such portion of RMB Advances outstanding on such date in accordance with the requirements of Clause 2.6(i). In no event shall any RMB Borrower be permitted to cancel RMB Commitments for which a RMB Letter of Credit has been issued and is outstanding unless the applicable RMB Borrower for whose account such RMB Letter of Credit was issued returns (or causes to be returned) such RMB Letter of Credit to the RMB Fronting Bank. The notice of cancellation issued by any RMB Borrower shall be irrevocable.
 
  (v)   Any amounts so prepaid pursuant to Clause 2.6(i) may be reborrowed. In the event the RMB Borrowers elect to cancel all or any portion of the RMB Commitments pursuant to Clause 2.6 (iv) hereof, such amounts may not be reborrowed.
2.7   Mandatory Prepayment
  (i)   If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that all outstanding RMB Advances (plus the outstanding amount of RMB Letters of Credit Usage) shall exceed 105% of the RMB Facility Amount, then the RMB Borrower, within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, shall repay all or a portion of the outstanding RMB Advances in such amount so that the aggregate thereof shall not exceed the then RMB Facility Amount.
 
  (ii)   If a RMB Borrower disposes of a real estate asset (or a beneficial interest therein) to a third party on an arm’s length basis (excluding any disposition to an Affiliate of AMB LP, provided that such real estate asset continues to be managed by a AMB LP or a Subsidiary of AMB LP), such RMB Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days of the settlement date of such disposal prepay to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify the RMB Settlement Agent) all RMB Advances owed by it with respect to the real estate asset or beneficial interest so disposed together with accrued interest on such amount.
2.8   RMB Secured Option
  (i)   Each RMB Borrower shall have the option, exercisable upon not less than thirty (30) days notice to the Administrative Agent to cause any one or more of the RMB Advances to be made to such RMB Borrower to be secured by the RMB Secured Property (as defined below) or a pledge of

21


 

      the equity interests of such RMB Borrower as designated in such notice (such option being the “RMB Secured Option”). In the event any RMB Borrower elects the RMB Secured Option with respect to any RMB Advances after such date, such RMB Advance shall be secured by, at such RMB Borrower’s option, either:
  (a)   a first priority mortgage on all real estate assets purchased with the proceeds of the RMB Advance (the “RMB Secured Property”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (a “RMB Mortgage”); or
 
  (b)   a first priority pledge of all of the equity interest of the RMB Borrower which owns the RMB Secured Property substantially in the form of Exhibit C or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (a “RMB Share Pledge”).
      In each case, the RMB Mortgage or RMB Share Pledge, as the case may be, and such other documents and filings reasonably necessary to perfect and evidence the RMB Lenders’ first priority security interest are referred to as the “RMB Security Documents” and such security is referred to as the “RMB Collateral”).
 
  (ii)   Each RMB Borrower shall have the option, upon ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, to substitute the type of RMB Security Document securing RMB Collateral (i.e., a RMB Mortgage can be substituted with a RMB Share Pledge on the preferred or common stock or membership interests of such RMB Borrower; a RMB Share Pledge can be substituted with a RMB Mortgage; and a RMB Share Pledge on common stock can be substituted with a RMB Share Pledge on preferred stock), provided (i) such RMB Borrower has satisfied all the conditions to the RMB Advance as set forth in Clause 2.8(i), (ii) such RMB Borrower pays all of the Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such substitution and release, and (iii) such RMB Borrower causes the Guarantors under the Master Agreement to deliver a Ratification (as defined in the Master Agreement). With respect to any substitution of RMB Collateral as contemplated by this Clause 2.8(ii), the original RMB Collateral shall not be released unless and until the new RMB Security Document(s) with respect to the new RMB Collateral is effectively registered and (ii) the RMB Borrower proposing such substitution shall have the obligation to submit the new Security Document(s) to the relevant governmental authority for registration and, in the case of any RMB Share Pledge, the RMB Security Document(s) shall

22


 

      be recorded in the shareholder list maintained by the RMB Borrower.
 
  (iii)   Each RMB Borrower shall have the option, upon five (5) Business Days prior notice to Administrative Agent, to obtain a release of RMB Collateral securing an RMB Advance provided that such RMB Borrower (i) prepays the RMB Advance secured thereby and (ii) pays all of the Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such release.
 
  (iv)   Upon ten (10) Business Days notice to Administrative Agent, another RMB Borrower (the “Assuming RMB Borrower”) may assume a RMB Advance made to a RMB Borrower provided that, upon the assumption by such Assuming RMB Borrower of such RMB Advance, (i) the Assuming RMB Borrower delivers RMB Collateral of the type selected by the Assuming RMB Borrower under Clause 2.8(i), (ii) the Assuming RMB Borrower satisfies all the conditions to the original Advance as set forth in Clause 3.2, and (iii) the Assuming RMB Borrower pays all of the Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such release. The release of the original RMB Borrower and such original RMB Collateral shall occur simultaneously with the assumption of the RMB Advance by the Assuming RMB Borrower and the substitution of the RMB Collateral. In no event shall the Administrative Agent release any such RMB Collateral unless and until substitute RMB Collateral has been obtained, to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.
 
  (v)   The Administrative Agent shall notify the RMB Settlement Agent of any creation, substitution, release or assumption of security made hereunder prior to the time such security is to take effect.
2.9   General Provisions as to Payments
  (i)   Each RMB Borrower shall make each payment of the principal of and interest on its RMB Advances and fees hereunder, by initiating a wire transfer not later than 11:00 a.m. (Beijing time) on the date when due in Renminbi immediately available in Shanghai, PRC to the RMB Settlement Agent at its account referred to in Clause 8, and each RMB Borrower shall deliver to the RMB Settlement Agent evidence of such wire as soon as possible thereafter on the date when due. The RMB Settlement Agent will promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) distribute to each RMB Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the RMB Settlement Agent for the account of the RMB Lenders. If and to the extent that the RMB Settlement Agent shall receive any such payment for the account of the RMB Lenders on or before 11:00 a.m. (Beijing time) on any Business Day, and RMB Settlement

23


 

      Agent shall not have distributed to any RMB Lender its applicable share of such payment on such day, RMB Settlement Agent shall distribute such amount to such RMB Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount should have been distributed to such RMB Lender until the date RMB Settlement Agent distributes such amount to such RMB Lender, at the Interest Rate. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on the RMB Advances or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.
 
  (ii)   Unless the RMB Settlement Agent shall have received notice from the applicable RMB Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the RMB Lenders hereunder that such RMB Borrower will not make such payment in full, the RMB Settlement Agent may assume that such RMB Borrower has made such payment in full to the RMB Settlement Agent on such date and the RMB Settlement Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each RMB Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due to such RMB Lender. If and to the extent that such RMB Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each RMB Lender shall repay to the RMB Settlement Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such RMB Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such RMB Lender until the date such RMB Lender repays such amount to the RMB Settlement Agent, at the Interest Rate.
2.10   Computation of Interest and Fees All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All interest and fees payable or paid by the RMB Borrower under this Agreement shall be denominated in RMB.
 
2.11   Use of Proceeds Each RMB Borrower shall use the proceeds of the RMB Advances (i) to fund the acquisition and development of properties, or the acquisition of beneficial interests in properties in PRC and (ii) for other real estate purposes in PRC, provided that in no event shall any RMB Borrower further lend the proceeds of any RMB Advances to any unrelated third party. Neither the Agent nor any RMB Lenders shall have any responsibility to see to the application of the proceeds by the RMB Borrower as long as each complies with the mandatory banking regulations of China.
 
2.12   RMB Letters of Credit

24


 

  (i)   Subject to the terms contained in this Agreement and the other RMB Loan Documents, upon the receipt of a notice in accordance with Clause 2.2(ii) requesting the issuance of a RMB Letter of Credit, the RMB Fronting Bank shall issue a RMB Letter of Credit or RMB Letters of Credit in such form as is reasonably acceptable to the applicable RMB Borrower (subject to the provisions of Clause 2.2(ii)) in an amount or amounts equal to the amount or amounts requested by such RMB Borrower; provided that the RMB Fronting Bank shall issue the same only in Renminbi.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, however, unless the applicable RMB Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the RMB Fronting Bank prior to 1:00 P.M. (Beijing time), and the RMB Fronting Bank shall notify the RMB Lenders prior to 2:00 P.M. (Beijing time), not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such drawing that such RMB Borrower intends to reimburse the RMB Fronting Bank for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of the RMB Advances, such Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice

25


 

      of RMB Borrowing pursuant to Clause 2.2 to the Administrative Agent, requesting a RMB Advance on the date on which such drawing is honored and in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. Each RMB Lender (other than the RMB Fronting Bank) shall make available its pro rata share of such RMB Advance to the RMB Settlement Agent, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the RMB Settlement Agent to reimburse the RMB Fronting Bank for the amount of such draw. In the event that any RMB Lender fails to make available to the RMB Settlement Agent (for the account of the RMB Fronting Bank) the amount of such RMB Lender’s participation on the date of a drawing, the RMB Fronting Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such RMB Lender together with interest at the Interest Rate commencing on the date such drawing is honored.
 
  (vi)   If, at the time a beneficiary under any RMB Letter of Credit requests a drawing thereunder, a Guarantor Event of Default as described in Clause 6.3(f) or 6.3(g) of the Master Agreement shall have occurred and is continuing or an RMB Borrower Event of Default as described in Clause 5.1(iv) or Clause 5.1(v) with respect to the RMB Borrower for whose account such RMB Letter of Credit was issued shall have occurred and is continuing, then on the date on which the RMB Fronting Bank shall have honored such drawing, the applicable RMB Borrower shall have an unreimbursed obligation (the “Unreimbursed Obligation”) to the RMB Fronting Bank in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, which amount shall bear interest at the annual rate of the sum of the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%). Each RMB Lender shall purchase an undivided participating interest in such drawing in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the RMB Commitments, and upon receipt thereof the RMB Fronting Bank shall deliver to such RMB Lender an Unreimbursed Obligation participation certificate dated the date of the RMB Fronting Bank’s receipt of such funds and in the amount of such RMB Lender’s pro rata share.
 
  (vii)   If, after the date hereof, any change in any applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority charged with the administration thereof shall either (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or participations in any letter of credit, upon any RMB Lender (including any RMB Fronting Bank) or (ii) impose on any RMB Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement or such RMB Lender (including any RMB Fronting Bank) as it pertains to any

26


 

      RMB Letter of Credit or any participation therein and the result of any event referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to increase, by an amount deemed by the RMB Fronting Bank or such RMB Lender to be material, the cost to the RMB Fronting Bank or any RMB Lender of issuing or maintaining such RMB Letter of Credit or participating therein, then the RMB Borrower for whose account such RMB Letter of Credit was issued shall pay to the RMB Fronting Bank or such RMB Lender, within 15 days after written demand by the RMB Fronting Bank or such RMB Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify the RMB Settlement Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such amount or amounts, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate the RMB Fronting Bank or such RMB Lender for such increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Each RMB Lender will promptly notify each affected RMB Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such RMB Lender to compensation pursuant to this Clause 2.12 and will designate a different RMB Facility Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such RMB Lender be otherwise disadvantageous to such RMB Lender. If such RMB Lender shall fail to notify any affected RMB Borrower of any such event within 90 days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then such RMB Borrower’s liability for any amounts described in this Clause incurred by such RMB Lender as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the tenth (10th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such RMB Lender actually notified such RMB Borrower of the occurrence of such event. A certificate of the RMB Fronting Bank or any RMB Lender claiming compensation under this Clause 2.12 and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, the RMB Fronting Bank or such RMB Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
 
  (viii)   Each RMB Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the RMB Fronting Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which the RMB Fronting Bank may incur or be subject to as a result of (i) the issuance of RMB Letters of Credit for the account of such RMB Borrower, other than

27


 

      to the extent of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the RMB Fronting Bank or (ii) the failure of the RMB Fronting Bank to honor a drawing under such RMB Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (collectively, “Governmental Acts”), other than to the extent of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the RMB Fronting Bank. As between the RMB Borrower for whose account the RMB Letter of Credit was issued and the RMB Fronting Bank, such RMB Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary with respect to its use, or misuses of, such RMB Letter of Credit issued by the RMB Fronting Bank. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the RMB Fronting Bank shall not be responsible (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of such RMB Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or insufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such RMB Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of any such RMB Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such RMB Letter of Credit, other than as a result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the RMB Fronting Bank; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, by mail, cable, telegraph, facsimile transmission, or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of any technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any documents required in order to make a drawing under any such RMB Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such RMB Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such RMB Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the RMB Fronting Bank, including any Governmental Acts, in each case other than to the extent of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the RMB Fronting Bank. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of the RMB Fronting Bank’s rights and powers hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the RMB Fronting Bank under or in connection with the RMB Letters of Credit issued by it or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the RMB Fronting Bank under any resulting liability to any RMB Borrower; provided that, notwithstanding anything in

28


 

      the foregoing to the contrary, the RMB Fronting Bank will be liable to the RMB Borrower for whose account a RMB Letter of Credit was issued for any damages suffered by such RMB Borrower or its Subsidiaries as a result of the RMB Fronting Bank’s grossly negligent or willful failure to pay under such RMB Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a sight draft and certificates strictly in compliance with the terms and conditions of such RMB Letter of Credit.
 
  (ix)   If the RMB Fronting Bank or the RMB Settlement Agent is required at any time, pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or reorganization law or otherwise, to return to a RMB Borrower any reimbursement by such RMB Borrower of any drawing under any RMB Letter of Credit, each RMB Lender shall pay to the RMB Fronting Bank or the RMB Settlement Agent, as the case may be, its pro rata share of such payment, but without interest thereon unless the RMB Fronting Bank or the RMB Settlement Agent is required to pay interest on such amounts to the Person recovering such payment, in which case with interest thereon, computed at the same rate, and on the same basis, as the interest that the RMB Fronting Bank or the RMB Settlement Agent is required to pay.
2.13   Letter of Credit Usage Absolute The obligations of each RMB Borrower under this Agreement in respect of any RMB Letter of Credit issued for the account of such RMB Borrower shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time) and any RMB Letter of Credit Documents (as hereinafter defined) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, to the extent permitted by law, the following circumstances:

  (i)   Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any RMB

30


 

      Letters of Credit, by their terms, shall mature after Final Maturity, then, on and after Final Maturity, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such RMB Letters of Credit, and the RMB Borrower shall comply with the provisions of Clause 2.14(ii).

9.2   Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any RMB Lender may at any time, grant to an existing RMB Lender, one or more banks, finance companies, insurance companies or other financial institutions which are RMB Qualified Institutional Investors (a “Participant”) in minimum amounts of not less than the RMB equivalent of JPY350,000,000 (or any lesser amount in the case of participations to an existing RMB Lender) participating interests in its RMB Commitment or any or all of its portion of the RMB Advances proratably. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any RMB Lender may at any time grant to any Person in any amount (also a “Participant”), participating interests in its RMB Commitment or any or all of its portion of the RMB Advances proratably. Any participation made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be affected by the subsequent cure of such Event of Default. In the event of any such grant by a RMB Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the RMB Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, such RMB Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the RMB Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such RMB Lender in connection with such RMB Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any RMB Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such RMB Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the RMB Borrowers hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such RMB Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Clause 11 without the consent of the Participant. No participant in any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to sell subparticipations of such rights and obligations.

9.3   Any RMB Lender (in such capacity, an “Assignor”) may at any time assign to a RMB Qualified Institution (in each case, a “Purchasing Lender”) (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, in minimum amounts of not less than the RMB equivalent of JPY350,000,000 and integral multiple of the RMB equivalent of JPY1,000,000 thereafter (or any lesser amount in the case of assignments to an existing RMB Lender) and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in any amount, all or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other RMB Loan Documents, and, in either case, such Purchasing Lender shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to a Transfer Agreement in substantially the form of the Fourth Schedule hereto executed by such Purchasing Lender and such Assignor; provided, that if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such assignment shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s, the RMB Fronting Bank’s and the RMB Borrowers’ consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided further that if an Purchasing Lender is an affiliate of such Assignor or was a RMB Lender immediately prior to such assignment, the RMB Borrower’s consent shall not be required. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Purchasing Lender to such Assignor of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such Assignor and such Purchasing Lender, such Purchasing Lender shall be a RMB Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a RMB Lender with a RMB Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required and such Assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent. In connection with any such assignment (other than an assignment by a RMB Lender to an affiliate), the Assignor shall pay to the RMB Settlement Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of the RMB equivalent of US$3,500. Any assignment made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be affected by any subsequent cure of such Event of Default. No Purchasing Lender of any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to further assign less than all of such rights and obligations.
9.4   Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no RMB Lender shall be permitted to enter into an assignment of, or sell a participation interest in, its rights and obligations hereunder which would result in such RMB Lender holding a RMB Commitment without participants of less than the RMB equivalent of JPY350,000,000 unless as a result of a cancellation or reduction of the aggregate RMB Commitments (or in the case of the Administrative Agent, less than the RMB Commitment of any other RMB Lender); provided, however, that no RMB Lender shall be prohibited from assigning its entire RMB Commitment so long as such assignment is otherwise permitted under this Clause 9.

53


 

9.5   The Administrative Agent shall notify the RMB Settlement Agent of any assignments or transfers made hereunder prior to the time such action is to take effect.
