ITEM 5 OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

     On November 5, 2003, pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of November 5, 2003, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated in this report by reference, AMB Property, L.P., in which we are the sole general partner, priced $75 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes under the medium-term note program that it commenced on May 7, 2002. The notes, the form of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated in this report by reference, mature on November 1, 2013 and bear interest at a rate of 5.53% per annum. The notes were sold to Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, with a settlement date on or about November 10, 2003. We have guaranteed the $75 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes.

     Teachers has agreed that until November 10, 2005, AMB Property, L.P. can require Teachers to return the notes to it for cancellation for an obligation of equal dollar amount under a first mortgage loan to be secured by properties determined by AMB Property, L.P., except that in the event the ratings on AMB Property, L.P.’s senior unsecured debt are downgraded by two ratings agencies to BBB-, AMB Property, L.P. will only have 10 days after the last of these downgrades to exercise this right. During the period when AMB Property L.P. can exercise its cancellation right and until any mortgage loans close, Teachers has agreed not to sell, contract to sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any portion of the notes.

     AMB Property, L.P. intends to use the net proceeds from the notes offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the acquisition or development of additional properties and the repayment of indebtedness, including inter-company indebtedness. Initially, AMB Property, L.P. may temporarily invest the net proceeds from the sale of the notes in short-term securities.

     A copy of the pricing supplement dated November 5, 2003 pursuant to which the notes and the guarantees were issued is attached as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated in this report by reference.

     Beginning in 2002, SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, requires us to separately report as discontinued operations the historical operating results attributable to operating properties sold and the applicable gain or loss on the disposition of the properties. Although application of SFAS 144 may affect the presentation of our results of operations for periods that we have already reported in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there will be no effect on our previously reported financial position, net income or cash flows. Generally, we do not expect to report the changes to such prior periods until we file our next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC.

     In July 2003, the SEC announced that it had revised its position relating to the application of Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D-42, The Effect on the Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock. As a result of this announcement, original issuance costs related to preferred equity are to be reflected as a reduction of income available to common stockholders in determining earnings per share for the period in which the

2


Table of Contents

preferred equity is redeemed. The announcement requires retroactive application of the revised position in previously issued financial statements. As a result, our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2001, to be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2003, will be restated to reflect a reduction in income available to common stockholders of $3.2 million, representing the original issuance costs of AMB Property II, L.P.’s Series C Preferred Units which were redeemed in December 2001. Restated diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2001 will be $1.43 compared to $1.47 previously reported. In addition, diluted funds from operations per share will be restated to conform with the revised SEC position, as required under the NAREIT definition, to $2.33 for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $2.37 previously reported. The SEC’s revised position on Topic D-42 does not require us to file amendments to previously filed reports and will not impact any other previously reported periods.

     On October 27, 2003, AMB Property, L.P. gave irrevocable notice that it will redeem all 1,300,000 of its outstanding 8 5/8% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units on November 26, 2003 for an aggregate redemption price of $65,622,916.67.

     On October 6, 2003, AMB Property, L.P. entered into an Agreement of Sale with privately-held International Airport Centers L.L.C. and certain of its affiliated entities, pursuant to which, if fully consummated, AMB Property, L.P. will acquire a 3.4 million square foot portfolio of 37 airfreight buildings located adjacent to seven international airports in the U.S. for approximately $481 million, including $119 million of assumed debt. A copy of the Agreement of Sale is attached as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated in this report by reference.

     Pursuant to the Agreement of Sale, AMB Property, L.P. will acquire the buildings in separate tranches, as construction and certain other customary closing conditions, including acquiring the necessary consents, are met. The first tranche, comprised of 25 buildings located primarily in Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami and Charlotte, closed on October 9, 2003 for approximately $167 million. AMB Property, L.P. currently expects the balance of the portfolio to close in additional tranches totaling approximately $130 million by year-end 2003 and $184 million by the third quarter of 2004. A portion of the properties AMB Property, L.P. acquires may be allocated to one or more of its co-mingled funds or co-investment joint ventures. AMB Property, L.P. financed the first tranche, and expects to finance the remainder of the purchase price, through additional financings and/or proceeds from property dispositions.

Forward Looking Statements

     Some of the information included in this report contains forward-looking statements, such as statements pertaining to earnings and results of operations and future plans, including anticipated closings and transactions. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. The events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements might not occur. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our analysis only and speak only as of the date of this report or the dates indicated in the statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants, increased interest rates and operating costs, our failure to obtain necessary outside financing, difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in effecting acquisitions, our failure to successfully integrate acquired properties and operations, our failure to divest of properties we have contracted to sell or to timely reinvest proceeds from any divestitures, risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including construction delays, cost overruns, our inability to obtain necessary permits and public opposition to these activities), our failure to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust, environmental uncertainties, risks related to natural disasters, financial market fluctuations, changes in real estate and zoning laws, risks related to doing business internationally and increases in real property tax rates. Our success also depends upon economic trends generally, including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental regulation, legislation, population changes and certain other matters discussed under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Business Risks” and elsewhere in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

     AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (hereinafter called the “Operating Partnership”, which term includes any successor under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Holder specified on the face hereof, or registered assigns (“Holder”), upon presentation and surrender of this Note, on the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof (except to the extent repaid or redeemed prior to the Maturity Date) the Principal Amount specified on the face hereof in the Specified Currency specified on the face hereof, and to pay interest thereon at the Interest Rate per annum specified on the face hereof, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment.

     Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Operating Partnership will pay interest (other than defaulted interest) on each Interest Payment Date (as defined below), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified on the face hereof, to the person who is the Holder of this Note on the applicable Regular Record Date (as defined below); provided that if the Original Issue Date occurs between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date, the Operating Partnership will make the first payment of interest on the Interest Payment Date following the next Regular Record Date to the registered owner on that Regular Record Date.

     The Operating Partnership will pay interest due on the Maturity Date, Redemption Date (as defined on the reverse hereof) or Repayment Date (as defined on the reverse hereof), as applicable, to the same person to whom it is paying the principal amount; provided that if the Operating Partnership would have made a regular interest payment on the Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be, it will make that regular interest payment to the Holder as of the applicable Regular Record Date, even if it is not the same person to whom it is paying the principal amount.

     Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for (“Defaulted Interest”) will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on any Regular Record Date, and shall be paid, at the election of the Operating Partnership, to either (i) to the Holder at the close of business on a special record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee (as defined on the reverse hereof), notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date or (ii) at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this Note may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided for in the Indenture.

     Unless specified on the face hereof, payments of interest on this Note with respect to any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as applicable, will include interest accrued from and including each immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or from and including the Original Date of Issue if no interest has been paid or duly provided for), to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be.

     If an Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as applicable, falls on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), interest (or interest and principal) will be paid on the next Business Day; provided that interest on the payment will not accrue for the period from the original Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be, to the date of such payment on the next Business Day.

     Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Interest Payment Dates” shall be June 30 and December 30 of each year. The “Regular Record Dates” shall be June 15 for a June 30 interest payment date, December 15 for a December 30 interest payment date and the date that is 15 calendar days before any other interest payment date, whether or not those dates are Business Days.

     “Business Day” as used herein means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close (x) in The City of New York or (y) for notes denominated in a specified currency other than U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or euro, in the principal financial center of the country of the specified currency or (z) for notes denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney, and (b) for notes denominated in euro, that is also a day on which the Trans-European

1


 

Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System, which is commonly referred to as “TARGET,” is operating.

     Payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest on, this Note on any day, if the Holder of this Note is DTC (or its nominee or other depository, a “Depository”), will be made in accordance with any applicable provisions of such written agreement between the Operating Partnership, the Trustee and the Depository (or its nominee) as may be in effect from time to time. Otherwise payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest on, this Note on any day shall be payable and this Note may be surrendered for the registration of transfer or exchange at the Office of the Trustee at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005, unless the Holder of this Note is notified otherwise; provided, however, that at the option of the Operating Partnership, interest may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Operating Partnership’s Security Register or by wire transfer, if proper wire instructions are on file with the Trustee or are received at presentment, to an account maintained by the payee located in the United States. Unless the Holder of this Note is notified otherwise, the place where notices or demands to or upon the Operating Partnership in respect of this Note and the Indenture may be served shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005.

     To receive payment of a U.S. dollar denominated Note upon redemption (if applicable) or at maturity, a Holder must make presentation and surrender of such Note on or before the Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as applicable. To receive payment of a Note denominated in a Foreign Currency (as defined on the reverse hereof) or composite currency upon redemption or at maturity, a Holder must make presentation and surrender of such Note not less than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as applicable. Upon presentation and surrender of a Note denominated in a Foreign Currency or composite currency at any time after the date two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as applicable, the Operating Partnership will pay the principal amount (and premium, if any) of such Note, and any interest due upon redemption or at maturity (unless the Redemption Date or Maturity Date is an Interest Payment Date), two Business Days after such presentation and surrender.

     For procedures relating to the receipt of payment upon repayment, if applicable, see the reverse hereof.

     The Operating Partnership will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with sending payments by wire transfer, but any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon payments will be borne by the Holders of the Notes in respect of which payments are made.

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof and, if so specified on the face hereof, in the Addendum hereto, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same force and effect as though fully set forth on the face hereof.

     This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof, or become valid or obligatory for any purpose, until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee under such Indenture.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Addendum is attached hereto or “Other/Additional Provisions” apply to this Note as specified on the face hereof, this Note shall be subject to the terms set forth in such Addendum or such “Other/Additional Provisions.”

AMB PROPERTY L.P.
MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES B
(FIXED RATE)

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of the Operating Partnership (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, unlimited in aggregate principal amount, all issued or to be issued under or pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 30, 1998, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 30, 1998, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 30, 1998, the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 30, 1998, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 15, 2000 and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 7, 2002, among the Operating Partnership, AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation and general partner of the Operating Partnership (the “Guarantor”), and U.S. Bank, N.A., as successor to State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A., as Trustee; to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (herein collectively called the “Indenture”) reference is hereby made for a specification of the rights and limitation of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities, the rights and obligations thereunder of the Operating Partnership and the rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption or repayment provisions (if any), may be subject to different covenants and defaults and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series designated as “Series B Medium-Term Notes” (hereinafter referred to as the “Notes”) of the Operating Partnership, of up to $400,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and which are not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and the Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

     Unless stated to the contrary on the face hereof, this Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in Book-Entry form represented by one or more global notes (each a “Global Note”) recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Depository. If specified on the face hereof, this Note is issuable in certificated form issued to, and registered in the name of, the beneficial owner or its nominee (a “Certificated Note”).

     Unless a different minimum Authorized Denomination is set forth on the face hereof, this Note is issuable in minimum denominations of (i) if the Specified Currency of this Note is U.S. dollars, U.S. $1,000 and in any larger amount in integral multiples of $1,000 and (ii) if the Specified Currency of this Note is a currency other than U.S. dollars (a “Foreign Currency”) or is a composite currency, the equivalent in such Foreign Currency or composite currency determined in accordance with the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) for such Foreign Currency or composite currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the Operating Partnership accepts an offer to purchase a Note, of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Foreign Currency or composite currency), and in any larger amount in integral multiples of 1,000 units.

     If this is a Global Note representing Book-Entry Notes, this Note may be transferred or exchanged only through DTC. In the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, if this is a Certificated Note, it may be transferred or exchanged, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in relation thereto, for other Notes of authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount, at the office or agency of the Operating Partnership in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York, or, at the option of the Holder, such office or agency, if any, maintained by the Operating Partnership in the city in which the principal executive offices of the Operating Partnership are located or the city in which the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee is located.

     The principal (and premium, if any) and interest on, this Note is payable by the Operating Partnership in the Specified Currency.

     If this Note is denominated in a Foreign Currency, in the event that the Foreign Currency is not available for payment at a time at which any payment is required hereunder due to the imposition of exchange controls or

2


 

other circumstances beyond the control of the Operating Partnership or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, the Operating Partnership may, in full satisfaction of its obligation to make such payment, make instead a payment in an equivalent amount of U.S. dollars, determined by the Exchange Rate Agent, as specified on the face hereof, on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate for such Foreign Currency on the second Business Day prior to such payment date or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency, the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on this Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community, as amended by the treaty on European Unity. The “Market Exchange Rate” for the Specified Currency means the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified Currency as certified for customs purposes by (or if not so certified, as otherwise determined by) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or a new single European currency where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars or such single European currency, respectively, will not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture).

     If the Specified Currency is a composite currency and if such composite currency is unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Operating Partnership, then the Operating Partnership will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the Holder of this Note by making such payment in U.S. dollars. The amount of each payment in U.S. dollars shall be computed by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the equivalent of the composite currency in U.S. dollars. The component currencies of the composite currency for this purpose (collectively, the “Component Currencies” and each, a “Component Currency”) shall be the currency amounts that were components of the composite currency as of the last day on which the composite currency was used. The equivalent of the composite currency in U.S. dollars shall be calculated by aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Component Currencies. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Component Currencies shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate for each such Component Currency, or as otherwise specified on the face hereof.

     If the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the number of units of the currency as a Component Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of those currencies as Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the amounts of the consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single currency. If any Component Currency is divided into two or more currencies, the amount of the original Component Currency shall be replaced by the amounts of such two or more currencies, the sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the original Component Currency.

     All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Note.

     If a Redemption Commencement Date is specified on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed, whether or not any other Note is concurrently redeemed, at the option of the Operating Partnership, in whole, or from time to time in part, on any Business Day on or after such Redemption Commencement Date and prior to the Maturity Date, upon mailing by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the actual date of redemption (“Redemption Date”), to the Holder of this Note at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register, as provided in the Indenture (provided that, if the Holder of this Note is a Depository or a nominee of a Depository, notice of such redemption shall be given in accordance with any applicable provisions of such written agreement between the Operating Partnership, the Trustee and such Depository (or its nominee) as may be in effect from time to time), at the Redemption Price (as defined below), together in each case with interest accrued to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holder of record on a Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date). The “Redemption Price” shall be equal to (i) the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face of this Note, as adjusted downward on each anniversary of the Redemption Commencement Date by the Annual Redemption Price Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof, multiplied by (ii) the unpaid Principal Amount of this Note to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series, and of like tenor, for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

     If an Optional Repayment Date(s) is specified on the face hereof, this Note will be subject to repayment by the Operating Partnership at the option of the Holder hereof on such Optional Repayment Date(s), in whole or in part in increments of U.S. $1,000 or other increments specified on the face hereof (as long as any remaining principal is at least $1,000 or another specified minimum denomination), at the Repayment Price specified on the face hereof, together with unpaid interest accrued hereon to the date of repayment (“Repayment Date”). For this Note to be repaid, this Note must be received, together with the form hereon entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed, by the Trustee at the corporate trust office of the Trustee at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600 New York, New York 10005 (or at such other address of which the Operating Partnership shall from time to time designate and notify Holders of the Notes) at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the Repayment Date. Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder hereof will be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unrepaid portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.

     If this is a Global Note representing Book-Entry Notes, only the Depository may exercise the repayment option in respect of this Note. Accordingly, if this is a Global Security representing Book-Entry Notes and the beneficial owner desires to have all or any portion of the Book-Entry Note represented by this Global Security repaid, the beneficial owner must instruct the participant through which he owns his interest to direct the Depository to exercise the repayment option on his behalf by delivering this Note and duly completed election form to the Trustee as aforesaid.

     If this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note, as specified on the face hereof, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity will be equal to the sum of (i) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (increased by any accruals of the Discount, as defined below) multiplied, in the event of any redemption or repayment of this Note (if applicable), by the Redemption Price or Repayment Price, as the case may be, and (ii) any unpaid interest on this Note accrued from the Original Issue Date to the Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. The difference between the Issue Price, as specified on the face hereof, and 100% of the principal amount of this Note is referred to herein as the “Discount”.

     For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of this Note, such Discount will be accrued so as to cause the yield on the Note to be constant. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period) and an assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the period from the Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the “Initial Period”) is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.

     In case a default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur and be continuing with respect to the Notes, the principal amount of all Notes then outstanding under the Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that such declaration may in certain events be annulled by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding.

     To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Indenture, the Operating Partnership may enter into one or more supplements to the Indenture for the purpose of modifying or altering the Indenture, without the consent of any Holders of Notes, for the limited purposes described in the Indenture.

     To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Indenture, the Operating Partnership may enter into one or more supplements to the Indenture for the purpose of modifying or altering the rights and obligations of the Operating Partnership and the Holders of the Securities (as defined in the Indenture) with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities (as defined in the Indenture) of any series affected, evidenced as provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture contains provisions for legal defeasance and covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes, in each case, upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.

     The Operating Partnership, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any paying agent and any Security registrar may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or other writing hereon by anyone other than the Operating Partnership or any Security registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof (and premium, if any), and interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and none of the Operating Partnership, the Trustee, an Authenticating Agent, a paying agent nor the Security registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon this Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Indenture or of this Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, partner, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Operating Partnership or the Guarantor or of any successor entity, either directly or through the Operating Partnership or the Guarantor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that the Indenture and this Note are solely corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by the incorporators, partners, stockholders, officers or directors, as such, of the Operating Partnership or the Guarantor or of any successor entity, or any of them, because of the creation of the indebtedness authorized by the Indenture, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or this Note or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, or any and all such rights and claims against, every such incorporator, partner, stockholder, officer or director, as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness authorized by the Indenture, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or this Note or implied therefrom, are, by acceptance of this Note, hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the issue of this Note. In the event of any sale or transfer of its assets and liabilities substantially as an entirety to a successor entity, the predecessor entity may be dissolved and liquidated as more fully set forth in the Indenture.

     All U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from calculations referred to in this Note shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with one half cent being rounded upwards).

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

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

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

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Parent Guarantee to the contrary, the undersigned hereby waives any claims or other rights which it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Guarantor or the Operating Partnership that arise from the existence or performance of its obligations under this Parent Guarantee (all such claims and rights are referred to as “Guarantor’s Conditional Rights”), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy against any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.

Such notice shall be irrevocable by the Operating Partnership once Teachers and the Operating Partnership have agreed on the value of the properties that will secure such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Operating Partnership shall have the right to delay the Mortgage Loan Closing Date for up to 120 days in the event that, subsequent to the delivery of such notice, (x) the Operating Partnership or the Corporation determines in its good faith judgment that the cancellation of Notes or the consummation of the Mortgage Loan Closing with respect to such notice would require the disclosure of non-public material information that the Operating Partnership or the Corporation has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or the disclosure of which would impede the Operating Partnership’s or the Corporation’s ability to consummate a material action, or (y) all reports required to be filed by the Companies pursuant to the Exchange Act have not been filed by the required date without regard to any extension, or if the consummation of any business combination by either of the Companies has occurred or is probable for purposes of Rule 3-05 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Act.

In addition, on such Mortgage Loan Closing Date, the Operating Partnership shall pay to Teachers any accrued but unpaid interest due on the Notes to be cancelled to, but excluding, the Mortgage Loan Closing Date. In consideration of the foregoing, on such Mortgage Loan Closing Date Teachers shall cause to be delivered to the account of the trustee for the Notes a book-entry interest in the Notes in a principal amount equal to the Demand Amount. Upon receipt of such book-entry interest and the execution of Loan Documents evidencing the Mortgage Loan on the Mortgage Loan Closing Date, the Operating Partnership shall cause the trustee to cancel such book-entry interest and such book-entry interest shall thereafter be of no further effect. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2(e) on a Mortgage Loan Closing Date shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Mortgage Loan Closing” with respect to such Mortgage Loan Closing Date.

          (f)      Limitation on Sale of Notes. Teachers agrees with the Operating Partnership that, during the Demand Period and continuing through such time that all Mortgage Loan Closings, if any, have taken place, Teachers shall not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of, all or any portion of the Notes.

          (g)      Expiration of the Demand Period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Loan Commitment Agreement to the contrary, the Operating Partnership may not exercise its Demand Right pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof subsequent to the expiration of the Demand Period.

          (h)      Mortgage Loan Closings. Mortgage Loan Closings may take place within (but not later than) ninety (90) days subsequent to the expiration of the Demand Period (or such longer period as the parties hereto agree) provided that the Operating Partnership made proper exercises of its Demand Right prior to the expiration of the Demand Period with respect to such Mortgage Loan Closings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Operating Partnership exercises its Demand Right subsequent to the occurrence of a Rating Downgrade Condition, unless Teachers approves the properties that will secure the Mortgage Loan and the parties agree on the loan amount within thirty (30) days subsequent to such exercise (or such longer period as the parties hereto agree), the exercise of the Demand Right shall be void and without effect and the Mortgage Loan Closing with respect thereto shall not take place. In the event that Teachers approves the properties that will secure such Mortgage Loan and the parties agree as to the loan amount, the Mortgage Loan Closing with respect thereto must take place within (but not later than) sixty (60) days subsequent to such approval (or such longer period as the parties hereto agree). The parties agree that they will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Mortgage Loan Closing to occur promptly.

Other/ Additional Provisions:

      We are offering the notes to Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America. Teachers has agreed that until November 10, 2005, we can require Teachers to return the notes to us for cancellation for an obligation of equal dollar amount under a first mortgage loan to be secured by properties determined by us, except that in the event the ratings on our senior unsecured debt are downgraded by two ratings agencies to BBB-, we will only have 10 days after the last of these downgrades to exercise this right. During the period when we can exercise our cancellation right and until any mortgage loans close, Teachers has agreed not to sell, contract to sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any portion of the notes.

Recent Developments

      Beginning in 2002, SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, requires us to separately report as discontinued operations the historical operating results attributable to operating properties sold and the applicable gain or loss on the disposition of the properties. Although application of SFAS 144 may affect the presentation of our results of operations for periods that we have already reported in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there will be no effect on our previously reported financial position, net income or cash flows. Generally, we do not expect to report the changes to such prior periods until we file our next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC.

      In July 2003, the SEC announced that it had revised its position relating to the application of Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D-42, The Effect on the Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock. As a result of this announcement, original issuance costs related to preferred equity are to be reflected as a reduction of income available to common stockholders in determining earnings per share for the period in which the preferred equity is redeemed. The announcement requires retroactive application of the revised position in previously issued financial statements. As a result, our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2001, to be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2003, will be restated to reflect a reduction in income available to common stockholders of $3.2 million, representing the original issuance costs of AMB Property II, L.P.’s Series C Preferred Units which were redeemed in December 2001. Restated diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2001 will be $1.43 compared to $1.47 previously reported. In addition, diluted funds from operations per share will be restated to conform with the revised SEC position, as required under the

2


 

NAREIT definition, to $2.33 for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $2.37 previously reported. The SEC’s revised position on Topic D-42 does not require us to file amendments to previously filed reports and will not impact any other previously reported periods.

Supplemental Federal Income Tax Considerations

      The following is a summary of certain supplemental United States federal income tax considerations anticipated to be material to holders of the notes. This summary is a supplement to the information provided in the attached prospectus under the caption “Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations,” and is subject to the limitations and qualification set forth in the attached prospectus. Holders are urged to review such information in the attached prospectus together with this summary. This summary assumes that the holder is a United States holder, as that term is defined in the attached prospectus. This summary is based on current law, is for general information only and is not tax advice.

 
Changes in Law

      Legislation was recently enacted that reduces the maximum tax rate of non-corporate taxpayers for long-term capital gains generally from 20% to 15% for taxable years ending on or after May 6, 2003. This rate change is currently scheduled to “sunset” or revert back to the provisions of prior law effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2008, at which time the long-term capital gains tax rate will be increased to 20%.

 
Consequences to Teachers Related to the Cancellation of Notes for an Obligation of Equal Dollar Amount under a Mortgage Loan

      We believe and intend to take the position that the cancellation of the notes for an obligation of equal dollar amount under a mortgage loan will be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes. In that case, Teachers generally will recognize capital gain or, subject to certain limitations, capital loss for United States federal income tax purposes equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized on the disposition of all or any portion of the notes and Teacher’ adjusted tax basis in the portion of the notes disposed of.

      Except as provided below, the amount realized on the disposition of all or any portion of the notes will be equal to the “issue price” of the mortgage loan as defined under the treasury regulations governing “original issue discount.” We and Teachers intend that the mortgage loan not be “traded on an established securities market” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and this discussion is based on that intention. Accordingly, the amount realized on disposition of all or any portion of the notes and the issue price of the mortgage loan depend on whether the notes that are cancelled at a mortgage loan closing are traded on an established securities market. If the notes that are cancelled at a mortgage loan closing are traded on an established securities market, the amount realized and issue price of the mortgage loan will be equal to the fair market value of such notes as of the mortgage loan closing date. Whether the notes will be traded on an established securities market at the time of the mortgage loan closing will depend on a number of factors which cannot be known until such time. In the event that the notes are not traded on an established securities market at such time, and the mortgage loan does not provide for “adequate stated interest” (i.e., interest at least equal to the applicable federal rate determined at the time of issuance), the amount realized and issue price of the mortgage loan will be equal to its “imputed principal amount” determined under the original issue discount treasury regulations. Finally, if the notes are not traded on an established securities market, and the mortgage loan provides for adequate stated interest, the issue price of the mortgage loan will be equal to its “stated redemption price at maturity” (as defined in the original issue discount treasury regulations), but the amount realized with respect to entering into the mortgage loan will be equal to the mortgage loan’s stated principal amount reduced by any unstated interest (as determined under Section 483 of the Internal Revenue Code). Teachers’ adjusted basis in the notes generally will equal the cost of the notes.

      If the issue price of the mortgage loan is less than its stated redemption price at maturity by more than the statutorily defined de minimis amount, then the mortgage loan will be issued with original issue discount,

3


 

and Teachers will be required to report original issue discount on the mortgage loan in accordance with the rules described in the attached prospectus under the caption “Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences—Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations for Note Holders—United States Holders—Original Issue Discount.” If the issue price of the mortgage loan is greater than the stated redemption price at maturity of the mortgage loan, we believe and intend to take the position that Teachers will be considered to have purchased the mortgage loan with “amortizable bond premium” (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) which is subject to the rules described in the attached prospectus under the caption “Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences—Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations for Note Holders—United States Holders—Premium and Acquisition Premium.”

(3) Finally, the quotient shall be calculated of (a) the amount calculated in subclause (2) of this subparagraph, divided by (b) the capitalization rate for the market in which such Holdback/Adjustment Property is located, as set forth in the Side Letter Agreement opposite the name of the Company that holds fee simple or leasehold title to such Holdback/Adjustment Property (the "Capitalization Rate"), which quotient shall constitute the Closing Holdback for such Holdback/Adjustment Property. (4) Definitions: "Weighted Base Net Rent" shall mean, with respect to each Holdback/Adjustment Property (as determined individually with respect to each such Property) an amount equal to the quotient of (A) the sum produced by adding the result of the following calculation for each space located within the Improvements on the applicable Holdback/Adjustment Property that is Vacant Space as of the applicable Closing: (i) the projected base net rent per square foot set forth in the Side Letter Agreement for the applicable Vacant Space as of the applicable Closing (the "Projected Base Net Rent"), multiplied by (ii) the square footage of such Vacant Space as set forth in the Side Letter Agreement, divided by (B) the aggregate square footage for all such Vacant Space at the applicable Holdback/Adjustment Property as of the applicable Closing. "Vacant Space" shall mean the space located within the Improvements located on a Holdback/Adjustment Property that is not Leased as of the applicable date upon which such calculation is to be made hereunder for such Holdback/Adjustment Property (i.e., the Effective Date, the date of a Closing, the Determination Date (as herein defined) or such other calculation date as is herein provided). "Leased" shall mean space which is leased to a Qualified Tenant under a Qualified Lease. "Qualified Lease" shall mean any lease of space included in the applicable Property which satisfies each of the following requirements: (a) it has been approved in writing by Purchaser (which approval shall be subject to the 5 standards for determining "reasonable" approval as provided in Paragraph 6.5(b)) and fully executed by the landlord and the tenant; (b) as evidenced by an estoppel certificate in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C or, if the applicable Qualified Lease was dated less than forty-five (45) days prior to the applicable Closing or end of a calendar quarter (for the purpose of making the determination under Paragraph 1.4(b) below), as applicable, an acceptance letter in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C-1, (i) it shall be in full force and effect and in good standing and free from default by any party thereto, (ii) the tenant thereunder shall have accepted in writing, and shall have occupied (if the applicable tenant is a Major Tenant (as herein defined)), the premises subject or to be subject to such lease, and shall have been obligated to pay, and shall have commenced to pay, the rent thereunder, or, if the subject lease provides for a free rent period which is in effect at the time this determination is being made, then the tenant thereunder shall have been obligated to pay, and shall have commenced to pay, expense reimbursements thereunder, (iii) the tenant improvements required to be made or paid for by the landlord in connection therewith shall have been substantially completed (except for so called "punchlist items," i.e., minor details of construction, decoration or mechanical adjustments which do not materially interfere with a tenant's occupancy of the premises and which shall be completed diligently by Seller but in any event prior to any time such work is required to be completed under the applicable lease) and shall have been paid in full by Seller, and (iv) all leasing commissions required to be paid for by the landlord in connection therewith have been paid in full (or, if not paid in full, Purchaser shall have received a credit at the applicable Closing for any commissions payable after the applicable Closing as provided herein); (c) neither Seller nor any related party of Seller (including Newco (as herein defined)) shall be the tenant thereunder; and (d) the tenant thereunder shall not have received any payment or other consideration from Seller or any related party of Seller in connection therewith other than tenant inducements approved in writing by Purchaser.

(2) retained by Purchaser, within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar quarter after the Closing as an adjustment to the Purchase Price at the applicable Closing (the "Closing Purchase Price Adjustment"), with respect to any Vacant Space at the applicable Holdback/Adjustment Property that shall have been Leased pursuant to a Qualified Lease during the calendar quarter just ending pursuant to which the Projected Base Net Rent attributable to the applicable Vacant Space is greater than the Actual Base Net Rent payable under the Qualified Lease for such Vacant Space, an amount equal to (A) the actual square footage of each Vacant Space Leased during the applicable calendar quarter (with respect to the applicable Holdback/Adjustment Property), multiplied by the difference between (x) the Projected Base Net Rent for such Vacant Space and (y) the Actual Base Net Rent for such Vacant Space, the product of which shall be divided by (B) the Capitalization Rate for the applicable Holdback/Adjustment Property. (c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to the NY III Property and the NY IV Property only, if the Actual Base Net Rent is greater than the Projected Base Net Rent attributable to the applicable Vacant Space at the applicable Holdback/Adjustment Property (i) in making the calculations in Paragraph 1.4(b)(1)(i) above, an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the first $1.00 per square foot (or lesser amount if Actual Base Net Rent exceeds Projected Base Net Rent by less than $1.00 per square foot) of Actual Base Net Rent in excess of the Projected Base Net Rent shall also be divided by the applicable Capitalization Rate and added to the amount to be paid to Seller pursuant to Paragraph 1.4(b)(1)(i) with respect to the applicable Holdback/Adjustment Property, and (ii) in making the calculations in Paragraph 1.4(b)(1)(ii) above, an amount equal to the first $1.00 per square foot (or lesser amount if Actual Base Net Rent exceeds Projected Base Net Rent by less than $1.00 per square foot) of Actual Base Net Rent in excess of the Projected Base Net Rent shall be added to the Projected Base Net Rent before determining the difference between Actual Base Net Rent and Projected Base Net Rent for the purpose of performing the net present value calculation provided in that Paragraph 1.4(b)(1)(ii). 9 (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to any Holdback/Adjustment Property that has not reached 95% Occupancy (it being the intent and agreement that no amounts, other than an "Earnout Amount" paid to Seller pursuant to the provisions hereof, shall be paid with respect to any Vacant Space Leased in excess of 95% Occupancy), if any Vacant Space in such Holdback/Adjustment Property shall not have been Leased as of the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing for such Property (the "Determination Date"), then Seller shall receive an amount equal to the product of (A) fifty percent (50%), multiplied by (B) the amount that would result from the application of the provisions of Paragraph 1.4(a) (1)-(3) to such Holdback/Adjustment Property if the calculation were to be made as of the Determination Date (which amount corresponds to the portion of the Closing Holdback for such Holdback/Adjustment Property to which Seller shall not have earned the right to receive in accordance with the provisions hereof as of the Determination Date), and any remaining Closing Holdback for such Holdback/Adjustment Property shall be retained by Purchaser as a permanent adjustment to the Purchase Price, whereupon (except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 1.4) there shall be no further adjustments to the Purchase Price or payments to the Seller with respect to the applicable Holdback/Adjustment Property, whether in the form of the Closing Purchase Price Adjustment, or otherwise (and Purchaser shall thereafter be responsible for the payment of all leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances with respect to such Vacant Space). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 1.4(d), if 95% Occupancy has not been achieved by the Determination Date and Seller and a Qualified Tenant shall have entered into a lease prior to the Determination Date which does not satisfy all of the requirements of a Qualified Lease as of the Determination Date (collectively, "Non-Qualified Leases") and on or before the Determination Date Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that Seller desires to extend the Determination Date to allow additional time for any such Non-Qualified Leases to become Qualified Leases, the Determination Date shall be extended to the date that is fifteen (15) months after the applicable Closing; provided, however, that only leases of Vacant Space that were (i) Qualified Leases as of the original Determination Date and (ii) Non-Qualified Leases as of the original Determination Date and which become Qualified Leases as of the extended Determination Date shall be included as Vacant Space that has been Leased in making the determination of the amounts to be paid to Seller and retained by Purchaser pursuant to this Paragraph 1.4(d), which determination shall be made as of the extended Determination Date. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Seller receive aggregate payments pursuant to this Paragraph 1.4 with respect to a Holdback/Adjustment Property in excess of the Closing Holdback with respect to such Holdback/Adjustment Property (excluding any payments made to Seller by Purchaser as Earnout Amounts, which amounts shall not be subject to the foregoing cap in this sentence). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 1.4, at the time of each calculation of the amount of the Closing Holdback to which either Seller or Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 1.4, such calculation shall be made with respect to the applicable Property on 10 an aggregate basis (i.e., as if such calculation was the first such calculation being performed with respect to the applicable Property) and if, as a result of such calculation, Seller has received an overpayment or underpayment as a result of the prior payments, if any, made to Seller from the applicable Closing Holdback, then there shall be an appropriate payment made to Seller from the Closing Holdback or from Seller to the Closing Holdback or Purchaser, as the case may be, in order to adjust such payments so as to correct any such overpayment or underpayment. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to any Vacant Space in excess of 95% Occupancy that is Leased, Seller and Purchaser shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the tenant improvement costs attributable to such Vacant Space in excess of 95% Occupancy that is Leased. If, as of the Determination Date (or such earlier date upon which a Holdback/Adjustment Property has achieved 95% Occupancy (or the date of the Closing for such Property if such Closing occurs after 95% Occupancy has been achieved)), there is any Vacant Space at such Holdback/Adjustment Property in excess of 95% Occupancy that is not Leased, then at such date Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Base Tenant Finish Allowances for such Vacant Space. Purchaser shall pay all of the leasing commissions attributable to the leasing of the Vacant Space in excess of 95% Occupancy. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Vacant Space is Leased and the initial term of the Qualified Lease (excluding any portion of such term occurring after the date that the applicable Qualified Lease could be terminated pursuant to a termination option contained in such Qualified Lease) is less than five (5) years, the amount to be paid to Seller with respect to the applicable Qualified Lease either as Purchase Price (pursuant to Paragraph 1.3 if applicable) or pursuant to Paragraph 1.4(b)(1) (if applicable) shall be reduced by an amount equal to (such amount being herein referred to as the "Term Reduction Amount") (i) ten percent (10%) (if the Qualified Lease has an initial term of four (4) years or more but less than five (5) years) and (ii) twenty percent (20%) (if the Qualified Lease has an initial term of three (3) years or more but less than four (4) years) of the amount which otherwise would have been paid to Seller under the foregoing Paragraphs, as applicable, determined on a prorated basis (e.g., if the applicable lease term is 4 1/2 years, the applicable percentage would be 5% and if the applicable lease term is 3 1/2 years, the applicable percentage would be 15%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Qualified Lease at a Holdback/Adjustment Property has an initial term greater than five (5) years (excluding any portion of such term occurring after the date that the applicable Qualified Lease could be terminated pursuant to a termination option contained in such Qualified Lease), Seller shall have the right to utilize the aggregate "Post 5 Year Rent" (as defined below) remaining from time to time after the application of any such Post 5 Year Rent pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 1.4 (g) ("Remaining Post 5 Year Rent") to make up all or a portion of the short fall in term of a Qualified Lease having an initial term under five (5) years (excluding any portion of such term occurring after the date that the applicable Qualified Lease could be terminated pursuant to a termination option contained in such Qualified Lease)(a "Short Fall Lease") that is thereafter executed as 11 follows: Seller can apply any Remaining Post 5 Year Rent to a Qualified Lease having a term under five (5) years (excluding any portion of such term occurring after the date that the applicable Qualified Lease could be terminated pursuant to a termination option contained in such Qualified Lease) by applying such Remaining Post 5 Year Rent to the actual square footage and utilizing the Actual Base Net Rent of the applicable Short Fall Lease to determine the extent of additional term such Short Fall Lease would have had if such applicable Remaining Post 5 Year Rent had been paid under such Short Fall Lease and such additional term shall be added to the actual term of the Short Fall Lease solely for the purpose of making the calculation of the Term Reduction Amount pursuant to this Paragraph 1.4 (g). As used herein "Post 5 Year Rent" shall mean an amount equal to the Projected Base Net Rent for the space demised under such Qualified Lease multiplied by the square footage of such Qualified Lease and by the number of years (or fraction thereof), not to exceed five (5), in the initial term of such Qualified Lease in excess of the first (5) years of such Qualified Lease (excluding any portion of such term occurring after the date that the applicable Qualified Lease could be terminated pursuant to a termination option contained in such Qualified Lease). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 1.4(g), if the applicable Qualified Lease has a termination option which can be exercised by the tenant so as to terminate the applicable Qualified Lease prior to the end of a full five year initial term, then (A) if the Term Reduction Amount for such Qualified Lease is equal to or greater than the applicable termination fee that would be payable by the tenant in connection with the exercise of the applicable termination option, then the amount to be paid to Seller with respect to the applicable Qualified Lease either as Purchase Price (pursuant to Paragraph 1.3 if applicable) or pursuant to Paragraph 1.4(b)(1) shall be reduced by the difference between the applicable Term Reduction Amount and the applicable termination fee and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the applicable termination fee if the tenant exercises such option (it being agreed that any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Paragraph 1.4(g) for the applicable Qualified Lease shall not be affected by the applicable tenant's subsequent failure to exercise such termination option), and (B) if the Term Reduction Amount for such Qualified Lease is less than the applicable termination fee that would be payable by the tenant in connection with the exercise of the applicable termination option, then the amount to be paid to Seller with respect to the applicable Qualified Lease either as Purchase Price (pursuant to Paragraph 1.3 if applicable) or pursuant to Paragraph 1.4(b)(1) shall not be reduced by the Term Reduction Amount and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the applicable termination fee if the tenant exercises such option (it being agreed that the non-adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Paragraph 1.4(g) for the applicable Qualified Lease shall not be affected by the applicable tenant's subsequent failure to exercise such termination option). Except as provided in this Paragraph 1.4(g), Purchaser shall be entitled to retain or be paid all termination fees paid by tenants under Leases in effect as of the Effective Date or entered into after the Effective Date (in either case subject to Purchaser acquiring the applicable Property). The amount of any reduction to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Paragraph 1.4(g) shall be retained by Purchaser as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for the applicable Holdback/Adjustment Property. (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Vacant Space 12 is Leased and the amount of the actual base rent escalations in the applicable Qualified Lease as applied to the Actual Base Net Rental payable over the initial term (excluding any portion of such term attributable to option periods and periods occurring after the date such Qualified Lease could be terminated pursuant to any termination options contained in such Qualified Lease) of the applicable Qualified Lease (but in no event to exceed ten (10) years)("Actual Escalated Base Rent") varies from the amount of the Pro Forma Base Rent Escalations (as defined in the Side Letter Agreement) as applied to the Projected Base Net Rent for the applicable Vacant Space over the same period ("Projected Escalated Base Rent"), then the net present value of the variance in the rent for such Vacant Space over the same period and utilizing a discount rate of 10% shall be determined (the "Escalation NPV") and (i) if the Actual Escalated Base Rent is greater than the Projected Escalated Base Rent, the amount of the Escalation NPV shall be added to the Purchase Price (pursuant to Paragraph 1.3 if applicable) or paid to Seller pursuant to Paragraph 1.4(b)(1) (if applicable) with respect to the applicable Holdback/Adjustment Property, and (ii) if the Actual Escalated Base Rent is less than the Projected Escalated Base Rent, the amount of the Escalation NPV shall be retained by Purchaser as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for the applicable Holdback/Adjustment Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 1.4(h), (A) if the actual base rent escalations in the applicable Qualified Lease are 3% or less per year, then there shall be no payment to Seller under this Paragraph 1.4(h) with respect to such Qualified Lease regardless of whether the Actual Escalated Base Rent is greater than the Projected Escalated Base Rent, and (B) if the actual base rent escalations in the applicable Qualified Lease are greater than 3% per year and the Actual Escalated Base Rent is greater than the Projected Escalated Base Rent, then the amount to be paid to Seller, if any, under this Paragraph 1.4(h) shall be calculated as if the actual base rent escalations were equal to the applicable Pro Forma Base Rent Escalations plus the amount of the actual base rent escalations above 3% per year. (i) Examples of the application of this Paragraph 1.4 are as set forth in the Side Letter Agreement. 1.5 Purchaser, on or before 9:00 A.M. (San Francisco, California time), October 7, 2003, shall deposit with the San Francisco, California office of the Title Company, as escrow agent, the amount of Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($8,500,000), which amount, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be referred to, collectively, as the "Earnest Money." The Earnest Money shall be in the form of a wire transfer of immediately available funds of the United States of America. If Purchaser shall not have so deposited the Earnest Money on a timely basis, as herein required, Seller may terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Purchaser, whereupon no party shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder, except as otherwise herein provided. The Earnest Money shall become nonrefundable as of 9:00 A.M. (Pacific Time), October 7, 2003, except as otherwise herein provided. The Earnest Money shall be held and disbursed by the Title Company, pursuant to an earnest money escrow agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Earnest Money shall be invested in a federally issued or insured interest bearing instrument and shall be paid to the party to which the Earnest Money shall be paid, pursuant to the provisions hereof. If the transaction contemplated hereby shall be consummated in accordance with the terms hereof, at each Closing, the Earnest Money allocated to the applicable Properties being acquired 13 at such Closing (the "Earnest Money Allocations") shall be applied to the allocable Purchase Price for such Properties at the applicable Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Closing fails to occur for any reason whatsoever other than Purchaser's default, the Earnest Money allocable to the Properties for which such Closing(s) do not occur shall be returned to Purchaser. ARTICLE 2 REVIEW OF INFORMATION 2.1 On or before the Effective Date, Seller has delivered or made available to Purchaser complete copies of any of the materials listed on Exhibit E attached hereto that shall be in the possession of Seller (the "Due Diligence Materials"). 2.2 From and after the Effective Date and during the term of this Agreement, Seller also shall provide Purchaser and its employees, agents, representatives, attorneys and consultants ("Purchaser's Consultants") access to the Properties, at any reasonable time, during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior notice, to conduct such inspections, investigations, tests, studies, reports, analyses, appraisals, verifications and evaluations with respect to the Interests, Aero SeaTac and/or the Properties, as Purchaser shall deem necessary in its commercially reasonable discretion, subject to the remaining provisions hereof (collectively, the "Investigations"); provided, however, that Purchaser shall not perform any intrusive Investigations, including, without limitation, probes and/or borings, without Seller's prior written approval, which may be granted or denied in Seller's reasonable discretion. Prior to the commencement of any Investigations as to any of the Properties, Purchaser shall obtain or cause Purchaser's Consultants to obtain, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, a policy of general commercial liability insurance, with limits of not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit per occurrence, for bodily injury and property damage liability, covering any and all liability of Purchaser with respect to or arising out of such Investigations, which shall name Seller, the Companies, Aero SeaTac and all lenders, including, without limitation, the Lenders, who then have an interest in the applicable Property, as an insured party, and shall be in form and of substance, and issued by an insurance company, reasonably satisfactory to Seller. Any damage caused to the Properties due to any Investigations shall be repaired by Purchaser at its sole cost and expense, if Purchaser shall elect not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Also, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, the Companies, Aero SeaTac, all lenders, including, without limitation, the Lenders, who then have an interest in applicable Property, from and against any Losses that Seller shall suffer due to any claim or cause of action that shall have arisen out of or resulted from any Investigations, which indemnification, defense and hold harmless agreements shall not be merged into this Agreement and shall survive the termination of this Agreement, if applicable; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the mere discovery of a pre-existing condition. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Losses" shall be deemed to mean any claim, cause of action, loss, damage, liability, cost and expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs (collectively, "Losses"). 2.3 Seller shall be entitled to have a representative of Seller present during any meetings between Purchaser and any governmental official or representative regarding Hazardous Materials (as defined below) in, at, on, about and/or under, or the environmental condition of, any of the Properties, 14 as well as advance written notice of any such meeting at least one (1) business day prior to the date thereof. 2.4 Intentionally Omitted. 2.5 If Purchaser shall not have delivered to Seller, on or prior to 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco, California time) on October 7, 2003 (the period between the Effective Date and such date, "Due Diligence Period"), written notice (the "Approval Notice") that Purchaser shall have waived its right to terminate this Agreement, pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 2.5, which election shall be in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion, then this Agreement automatically shall be terminated as of 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco, California time) on October 7, 2003 and the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, whereupon no party shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder, except as otherwise herein provided; provided, however, that upon the full execution of this Agreement by Purchaser and Seller (and the execution of this Agreement by the Joinder Parties (as herein defined)) and delivery of the fully executed Agreement by Purchaser to Seller prior to 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco, California time) on October 7, 2003, Purchaser shall be deemed to have delivered the Approval Notice in accordance with the provisions hereof. 2.6 Purchaser acknowledges that, if Purchaser shall have delivered (or is deemed to have delivered) the Approval Notice to Seller, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then, pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 2.5 but subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3, and subject to Purchaser's ongoing right to update any of its reports, studies or investigations conducted with respect to any Property if, by the applicable Closing Date, such reports, studies or investigations will be more than sixty (60) days old (provided that Purchaser may update such reports, studies and investigations for the sole purpose of confirming the satisfaction of the covenants, conditions, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement), Purchaser shall be deemed to have (a) conducted (or shall have waived its right to conduct), to its satisfaction, all Investigations, including, without limitation, those as to Hazardous Materials, (b) reviewed, examined, evaluated and verified, to its satisfaction, all of the Due Diligence Items (as hereinafter defined) and the results of the Investigations, including, without limitation, Purchaser's satisfaction as to the assignability of the Interests from Seattle - II to Purchaser and/or the Approved Assignee(s), as hereby contemplated, and (c) become familiar with the physical condition of all of the Properties. 2.7 Except as otherwise herein provided, (i) any reports, repairs and/or alterations with respect to the Properties required by Purchaser, including, without limitation, the cost and expense thereof, shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser, and (ii) Purchaser hereby agrees that there shall be no obligation on the part of Seller to make any reports, changes, alterations or repairs, cure any violations of applicable law or comply with the requirements of any insurer, with respect to any of the Properties. 2.8 Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health department. With respect to the Improvements situate in the State of Florida, Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the energy efficiency disclosure brochure described in Section 553.996 of the 15 Florida Statutes.

ARTICLE 4 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT 4.1 Purchaser's obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby shall be subject to satisfaction of all of the following (collectively, "Purchaser's Conditions Precedent"): (a) On the applicable Closing Date, neither Seller nor Aero SeaTac shall be in material default in the performance of any material covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller hereunder or under any of the (i) Leases, (ii) New Leases (as defined below), if applicable, (iii) Service Contracts and/or (iv) New Service Contracts (as defined below), if applicable, or in default under any of the documents and/or instruments evidencing and/or securing the Assumed Loans (collectively, the "Assumed Loan Documents") or any of the ground leases (the "Ground Leases") previously entered into, between various ground lessors (collectively, the "Ground Lessors"), and the Leasing Companies and Aero SeaTac (collectively, the "Ground Lessees"), as the case may be, as to the respective Properties leased by such Ground Lessees, upon the terms and conditions thereof, as the case may be. (b) All representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date and as of the applicable Closing Date. (c) On the applicable Closing Date, there shall exist no pending action, suit or proceeding with respect to Seller and/or Aero SeaTac, before any court or administrative agency, which shall seek to restrain or prohibit, in whole or part, or to obtain damages or a discovery order with respect to, this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, other than any of the foregoing that shall exist between Purchaser and Seller with respect to this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby. (d) On or prior to the applicable Closing Date, Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser estoppel letters substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (as modified to address specific concerns arising as a result of Purchaser's review of the Leases) dated not more than forty five (45) days prior to the applicable Closing that shall have been executed by tenants under leases for space in the Improvements ("Tenants") that, as of such Closing, shall occupy, collectively, at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the total square footage of the Improvements on each Property being conveyed, directly or indirectly, at such Closing, and at least eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate square footage of all of the Improvements being conveyed, directly or indirectly, at such Closing (provided, that the 80% figure shall be used if there is only one Property being conveyed at a particular Closing), and shall include estoppels from all Tenants occupying as of such Closing Date twenty-five thousand (25,000) square feet or more of the square footage of the 17 Improvements on any single Property being conveyed, directly or indirectly, at such Closing (each such Tenant, a "Major Tenant"); provided, however, that, if Seller only shall have delivered to Purchaser such estoppel letters from Tenants under leases for space in the Improvements being conveyed, directly or indirectly, at such Closing, that, as of the Closing Date, shall encompass less than ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate square footage of all of the Improvements being conveyed, directly or indirectly, at such Closing, then Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an estoppel letter, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto, executed by Seller, with respect to Tenants selected by Purchaser occupying the square footage of the Improvements being conveyed, directly or indirectly, at such Closing, equal to the difference between ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate square footage of all of the Improvements being conveyed, directly or indirectly, at such Closing, and the square footage of the Improvements covered by the estoppel letters delivered to Purchaser by Seller and executed by Tenants with respect to the applicable Closing, pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph. If all of the estoppel letters required to have been delivered, pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, shall not have been so delivered on a timely basis, either Purchaser or Seller shall have the right to extend the applicable Closing Date for up to ten (10) business days to provide additional time to obtain such estoppel letters, whereupon Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at no cost or liability to Seller, to obtain such estoppel letters on or prior to the applicable Closing Date. With respect to any Seller executed estoppel delivered to Purchaser, Seller shall have the right to substitute therefor an estoppel executed by the applicable Tenant which satisfies the requirements for such tenant estoppel as provided above in this paragraph and in such event the applicable Seller executed estoppel shall be of no further force or effect. (e) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Purchaser, as of the date of the First Closing, Seller or the Companies, other than the Assumed Debt Companies, shall have defeased or repaid, in full, at Seller's expense, all of the loans previously made by various lenders to the Companies, other than the Assumed Debt Companies, as the case may be, which loans are more particularly described in the Side Letter Agreement (collectively, the "Other Loans").

(h) As of the applicable Closing Date, there shall have been no material adverse changes since the end of the Due Diligence Period in the physical condition of any of the Properties 18 being conveyed, directly or indirectly, at such Closing, subject to ordinary wear and tear and the provisions of Article 10. (i) With respect to any Closing occurring after the Second Closing (other than with respect to the Properties owned by New York and New York - II), as of the applicable Closing Date, there shall have been no material adverse changes in the tenant condition of any of the Properties being conveyed, directly or indirectly, at such Closing since the end of the Due Diligence Period. For purposes of this Subparagraph 4.1(i), "material adverse changes in the tenant condition" shall mean a material adverse change in the tenant condition of any Major Tenant as reasonably determined by Purchaser (e.g., the bankruptcy of a Major Tenant, a material adverse change in the financial condition of a Major Tenant as reasonably determined by Purchaser or the material default by a Major Tenant under its lease where such default is not cured within any applicable cure period). In the event that a material adverse change in the tenant condition of a Major Tenant occurs, Purchaser may elect not to purchase the affected Property, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the affected Property, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Property Allocation applicable to such Property, the Earnest Money allocated to such Property pursuant to the Earnest Money Allocations shall be returned to Purchaser, and Purchaser and Seller shall thereafter have no further obligation or liability with respect to said Property, except as set forth herein. The parties agree that it shall not be a material adverse change in the tenant condition if a property tax assessment results in an increase in the taxes that may be payable by a tenant under its lease; provided, however, that this sentence shall not serve as a limitation or waiver of any other right or Condition Precedent expressly granted herein to Purchaser, including, without limitation, the Condition Precedent set forth in Paragraph 4.1(d) hereof.

The Ground Lessor Consents shall also include an estoppel from each such Ground Lessor, all of which shall be in form and of substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser (provided, if the form of such estoppel is contained in the applicable Ground Lease, the parties shall accept such form from the applicable Ground Lessor as is so provided in such documents; provided, however that the foregoing proviso shall not affect, limit or negate Purchaser's requirement that the applicable Ground Lessor Consents contain the acknowledgements and requirements provided in clauses (i) and (iii) of this Subparagraph (o)).

(d) Purchaser has received a copy of (i) the Florida Energy Efficient Rating System Brochure and (ii) the California Natural Hazards Disclosure Report, with respect to each tax parcel that comprises each of the Properties located in the State of California. All of the representations and warranties contained in this Paragraph 6.3 shall be deemed to be remade by Purchaser as of the applicable Closing Date, which representations and warranties shall not be merged into this Agreement and shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, as applicable, and run in favor of, and benefit, Seller and its successors and assigns. 6.4 All representations and warranties by the respective parties contained herein or made in writing pursuant to this Agreement are intended to and shall remain true and correct as of the time of the applicable Closing, shall be deemed to be material, and, together with all conditions, covenants and indemnities made by the respective parties contained herein or made in writing pursuant to this Agreement (except as otherwise expressly limited or expanded by the terms of this Agreement), shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the applicable Closing; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller's and Purchaser's representations and warranties shall be limited as follows: (i) the Property Representations and Purchaser's representation and warranty set forth in Subparagraph 6.3(a) shall survive the applicable Closing for a period of one (1) year, and (ii) the Entity/PILOT/ICIP Representations, and Purchaser's representations and warranties set forth in 34 Subparagraphs 6.3(b) and 6.3(c) shall have unlimited survival (except as limited by any applicable statute of limitations). For purposes hereof, any reference to "knowledge" or "best knowledge" of Seller shall mean the actual knowledge as of the date of such statement of Doug Krahnke (with respect to Property related matters only), Jerry Powalish (with respect to construction related matters only), Dan Johnson (with respect to construction related matters only), Alexander Kurrelmeier, Craig Arnson, Joseph Perlmutter, Jacob Citrin and Norman Perlmutter (and any individuals who hereafter shall assume all or substantially all of the duties and responsibilities of such individuals), without any independent duty of diligence or investigation or any constructive, imputed and/or deemed knowledge, which individuals, under no circumstances, shall be subject to any personal liability of any kind whatsoever. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Purchaser shall not assume any liability with respect to any construction defects due to Purchaser having acquired an Interest in Aero SeaTac, which liability Purchaser would not have assumed had Purchaser acquired the Seattle - II Property in fee simple rather than by means of acquiring an Interest. Any liability for such construction defects shall be borne by Seller, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 12.9 hereof. Seller shall retain, on a non-exclusive basis with Purchaser, all rights to seek recovery of these amounts from any third party that actually may have been responsible for any such losses, and Purchaser shall cooperate with those efforts at no cost or expense to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, to the extent that Purchaser shall have actual knowledge or shall be "deemed to have known" prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that any of the representations and/or warranties made herein by Seller shall be inaccurate, untrue and/or incorrect in any respect, such representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been modified to reflect such knowledge or deemed knowledge, as the case may be. For purposes of this Agreement, Purchaser shall be "deemed to have known" of the existence of a fact or circumstance, to the extent that (a) this Agreement, (b) the Due Diligence Materials listed on Exhibit E, (c) any estoppel certificate executed by any Tenant or Seller and delivered to Purchaser, (d) the Side Letter Agreement, or (e) any tests, studies, reports, analyses, appraisals, verifications and/or evaluations prepared by or for Purchaser or any of Purchaser's Consultants and delivered to Purchaser, or otherwise obtained by Purchaser or any of Purchaser's Consultants, shall disclose a fact or circumstance, or otherwise contain information, that shall be inconsistent in any way with any representation and/or warranty made herein by Seller. If, after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, but prior to the applicable Closing, Purchaser shall know or be deemed to have known that any of the representations and/or warranties made herein by Seller shall be untrue, inaccurate and/or incorrect in any material respect, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice thereof within five (5) business days of obtaining actual knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the applicable Closing). If, at or prior to the applicable Closing, Seller shall obtain actual knowledge that any of the representations or warranties made herein by Seller shall be untrue, inaccurate and/or incorrect in any material respect, Seller shall give Purchaser written notice thereof within five (5) business days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the applicable Closing). In either such event, Seller shall have the right to cure such breach and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed ten (10) business days) for such purpose. On the other hand, if Seller shall be unable to so cure any such breach, or, if Seller shall elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to cure such breach, by giving Purchaser written notice of such 35 election, within two (2) business days of obtaining actual knowledge of such breach, then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy, as a result of any such breach, shall elect, by giving written notice to Seller, within one (1) business day of receiving written notice from Seller that Seller shall have elected not to cure such breach, to either (a) waive such breach and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price, or (b) terminate this Agreement with respect to the applicable Property or Properties unless such uncured breach was a wilful and intentional breach by Seller in which event Purchaser may terminate this Agreement with respect to all of the Properties, as of the date of such notice, and receive a refund of the Earnest Money allocated to the applicable Properties, whereupon no party shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder, except as otherwise herein provided including, without limitation, the provisions of Paragraph 7.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the liability of Seller for any breach(es) of the representations and warranties made by Seller herein or in any documents and/or instruments executed by Seller at the Closing shall be limited as set forth in Paragraph 12.9; provided, however, that, if a Closing shall occur, Purchaser hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right and/or remedy available to it at law, in equity and/or under this Agreement, to make a claim against Seller for damages that Purchaser may incur with respect to the applicable breach(es), or to rescind this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as a result of any of the fact that any of such representations and/or warranties shall have been untrue, inaccurate and/or incorrect, if Purchaser actually knew or shall be deemed to have known such representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate and/or incorrect at the time of the applicable Closing. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Due Diligence Period provides Purchaser adequate opportunity to inspect and investigate each and every aspect of the Properties and the Interests. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except for Seller's express representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser is purchasing the Interests, Sale Properties or leasehold interests in the Leased Properties based solely on Purchaser's inspection and investigation of the Properties and the Interests, Sale Properties and the Leased Properties, or its opportunity to do so, and Purchaser is purchasing the Interests, Sale Properties and leasehold interests in the Leased Properties without relying on any representations or warranties, express or implied, of any kind, other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser expressly acknowledges and agrees that, except for Seller's express representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Seller's agents have made any representations or warranties as to any matters concerning the Properties, including, but not limited to, its intended use, the condition of the Properties, square footage, layout, development rights and exactions, permissible uses, utilities, zoning, soil, subsoil, drainage, compliance with applicable laws, the presence of Hazardous Materials or any other matters. 6.5 Seller hereby covenants and agrees with Purchaser that, from and after the Effective Date, Seller shall (and Seller shall cause Aero SeaTac to) conduct their respective businesses involving the Properties as follows, and during such period Seller shall (and Seller shall cause Aero SeaTac to) (except as otherwise herein provided to the contrary): (a) Continue, up to the applicable Closing, to operate, maintain, repair and/or replace the Properties in the same manner as on the Effective Date in all material respects, subject to ordinary wear and tear; provided, however, that none of Sellers or Aero SeaTac shall have any duty to repair, replace or restore any of the Properties upon any damage or 36 destruction, or condemnation, except as otherwise herein provided. (b) Refrain, (i) up to expiration of the Due Diligence Period from entering into any new or renegotiated lease (collectively, "New Leases") regarding the Properties, without the prior written approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that, with respect to potential New Leases regarding the Properties to which Seattle, Seattle - IV and Seattle - V hold fee simple title (collectively, the "Seattle Properties"), and the Third Closing Holdback/Adjustment Properties, Seller only shall be required at least three (3) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to (A) give Purchaser written notice of the economics of any potential New Lease, exclusive of the name of the prospective tenant thereunder, and (B) solicit feedback from Purchaser with respect to such potential New Lease, but Purchaser's approval of such potential New Lease shall not be required for Seller to execute any such potential New Lease, and (ii) from and after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, from entering into any New Lease regarding any Property, including, without limitation, the Seattle Properties and the Third Closing Holdback/Adjustment Properties, without the prior written approval of Purchaser; provided, however, that, any such potential New Lease for vacant space in any Improvement shall be deemed to have been approved by Purchaser, if Purchaser shall not have notified Seller in writing of Purchaser's approval or disapproval, if applicable, of any such potential New Lease, within five (5) business days after receipt thereof by Purchaser. In addition, Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a potential New Lease, if such potential New Lease shall (a) be on a form substantially similar to Seller's form lease for such Improvement that is in effect as of the Effective Date (and Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a certified copy of each such form lease at the First Closing) without material modifications, and (b) contain such economic and other provisions for such vacant space as shall be within the applicable leasing parameters set forth on the Side Letter Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall obtain Purchaser's approval of the proposed new tenant or tenants, based on Purchaser's evaluation of (1) the financial qualifications of the new tenant, (3) the proposed use of the Property by the new tenant, (2) the space plan and configuration requested by the new tenant (including a designation of the office and warehouse layout), approval of which configuration shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, be in Purchaser's sole discretion, (4) to the extent the applicable lease allocates parking spaces, the number of parking spaces to be allocated at the Property to such tenant, (5) at the New York Properties, whether such tenant will have employees that will qualify as "Facility Tenant Employees" (as such term is defined in the Ground Leases entered into by New York, New York - I, New York - II and New York - III) and (6) whether or not said new tenant is reasonably compatible with other tenants and uses on the Property. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a fully signed counterpart of any New Lease promptly upon the full execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto; and provided, further, that without limiting Purchaser's right to disapprove a potential New Lease on the basis of a tenant's lack of creditworthiness in Purchaser's reasonable discretion, Seller agrees that Purchaser shall have the right to condition its approval of any potential New Lease on Seller waiving its right to receive an Earnout Amount with respect to such potential New Lease, and Purchaser shall advise Seller that it requires such waiver at the time that Purchaser approves the potential New 37 Lease. (c) Refrain, up to the Closing, from entering into or amending any agreement (other than any New Lease, subject to the terms and conditions hereof) regarding the Properties, without having first obtained the prior written consent of Purchaser thereto in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such contract could be terminated by the relevant Company and/or Aero SeaTac, without penalty or termination fee (unless paid by the relevant Company or Aero SeaTac, as the case may be, prior to the applicable Closing), upon not more than thirty (30) days' notice (collectively, "New Service Contracts"); provided, however, that, if Purchaser shall not have notified Seller in writing of Purchaser's approval or disapproval of any such agreement, within five (5) business days after receipt thereof, then the same shall be deemed to have been approved by Purchaser. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a fully signed counterpart of any New Service Contract promptly upon the full execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto. (d) Maintain, through the Closing, the insurance coverage that is in effect with respect to the Properties as of the Effective Date, so long as such coverage continues to be available at a commercially reasonable rate. (e) Be solely responsible for all rent abatements, tenant improvement costs, leasing commissions and any other monetary concessions that shall be the obligation of the landlord (collectively, "Landlord Obligations") under any (i) lease entered into prior to the Effective Date, with respect to any space in the Improvements, including, without limitation, the work to be performed with respect to the space described on the Side Letter Agreement ("Other Landlord Obligation Space"), and (ii) New Lease entered into on or after the Effective Date, (A) with respect to any Vacant Space (subject to Paragraph 1.4) or (B) with respect to any vacant space other than Vacant Space (which is addressed in Paragraph 1.4) as follows: (1) Seller shall be responsible for any rent abatements applicable to any portion of the term of a New Lease for such vacant space occurring prior to the applicable Closing (and Purchaser shall be responsible for the rent abatements under such New Lease applicable to the portion of the term of such New Lease occurring from and after the applicable Closing) and Seller and Purchaser shall each be responsible for their prorata share of the other Landlord Obligations attributable to such New Lease based on the relative portions of the lease term occurring during the Seller's and the Purchaser's period of ownership of the applicable Property, respectively, and (2) Seller shall not be responsible (and Purchaser shall be responsible) for any leasing commissions that shall be the obligation of the landlord under any lease(s) entered into prior to, on or after the Effective Date (and prior to the Determination Date for the applicable Property, if applicable) in accordance with this Agreement, with respect to any space in the Improvements, but only to the extent such commissions (i) are described on the Side Letter Agreement or, with respect to New Leases, are otherwise approved by Purchaser in writing at such time as Purchaser approves of the applicable New Lease, and (ii) are payable only as a result of any options, including, without limitation, extension, renewal and/or expansion options, exercised, on or after the Effective Date, by a tenant under any such lease; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be responsible for any such leasing commissions described in the foregoing clause (2) 38 applicable to any space at a Holdback/Adjustment Property to the extent such commission arises as a result of a commission agreement entered into after the Determination Date for such Property. The parties' respective obligations under this Paragraph 6.5(e) shall not be merged into this Agreement and shall survive the applicable Closing.

Seller shall substantially complete, as of the applicable Closing, all construction with respect to the initial development and construction of the Improvements (other than the tenant improvements at the NY III Property and the NY IV Property) to be completed with respect to the NY III Property and the NY IV Property and the HICTC Property, as contemplated hereby (except for so called "punchlist items," i.e., minor details of construction, decoration or mechanical adjustments which do not materially interfere with occupancy of the applicable Property and which shall be diligently completed by Seller). In addition, Seller shall complete and make operational, at Seller's sole cost and expense, on or before the Closing for the New York Properties, the infrared and other security systems that are installed but not intended to be operational at the Properties owned by New York - I, New York - II, New York -III and New York - IV (collectively, the "New York Properties") until all of the Improvements (other than the tenant improvements at the NY III Property and the NY IV Property) located thereon are completed. (g) Refrain from modifying, amending or terminating any of the Assumed Loan Documents or the Ground Leases or any of the organizational documents, including, without limitation, the operating agreement, of Aero SeaTac, and to refrain from dissolving Aero SeaTac. (h) Refrain from taking any action that could result in a change of zoning or a change to any of the entitlements affecting any of the Properties and to refrain from permitting or causing any new liens or encumbrances (with the exception of any new easements which are reasonably approved by Purchaser) to affect any of the Properties. (i) Refrain from taking any action that would cause any of Seller's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement to become untrue or incorrect in any material respect.

For all purposes of this Agreement, the term "Earnout Amount" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Earnout Agreement, and the term Earnout Agreement shall mean the Earnout Agreement dated as of May 20, 2003, between Boston, as borrower, and LaSalle Bank National Association ("LaSalle"), as lender, with respect to the Assumed Loan made by LaSalle to Boston in the original principal amount of $51,000,000. In no event shall Purchaser have any liability to Seller in the event Seller is unable to receive all or any portion of the Earnout Amount from LaSalle. To the extent that Seller is not entitled to the full amount of the Earnout Amount and the applicable Lender applies all or any portion of the Earnout Amount to the applicable Assumed Loan, Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any Yield Maintenance Amount (as defined in the Earnout Agreement) arising as a result of such prepayment of the applicable Assumed Loan. The Earnout Amount shall not reduce the amount of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Assumed Loan for the purposes of determining the amount of the Cash portion of the Purchase Price to be paid with respect to the applicable Property. The provisions of this Paragraph 6.7 shall not be merged into this Agreement and shall survive the applicable Closing. ARTICLE 7 DEFAULTS 7.1 If there shall be a default by Purchaser or Seller hereunder, and such default shall not have been cured within five (5) days after the non-defaulting party shall have given written notice thereof to the defaulting party, then the non-defaulting party, at its option, may (i) specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement against the other party (BUT NO OTHER ACTION, FOR DAMAGES, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE PERMITTED); provided, that Seller shall only be entitled to the remedy described in this clause (i) after the First Closing has been consummated (provided, that if specific performance is not available in the applicable jurisdiction through no fault of the Seller at the time that Seller seeks to enforce such specific performance, then only in such instance Seller shall be entitled to its damages as are available at law (but excluding any punitive damages) arising as a result of Purchaser's uncured failure to Close in breach of this Agreement as it relates solely to the specific Property or Properties located in the applicable jurisdiction which are not acquired by Purchaser as a result of Purchaser's uncured wrongful refusal to Close (in which event and notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Paragraph 7.1 or in Paragraph 7.2, Seller shall not also be entitled to retain any portion of the Earnest Money allocable to the applicable Property or Properties for which Seller is seeking damages), or (ii) terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Property or Properties unless such uncured breach was a wilful and intentional breach by the defaulting party in which event the non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement with respect to all of the Properties, in either case by written notice thereof to the other party and such non-defaulting party shall receive a refund or the payment of the Earnest Money allocated to the applicable Properties (provided, however, that if Purchaser is the defaulting party and such default occurs at or prior to the First Closing, then the Seller shall only be entitled to receive a portion of the Earnest Money in the amount of Four Million Dollars and Purchaser shall receive a refund of the balance of the Earnest Money in the amount of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars), as the case may be, and if the non-defaulting party is the Purchaser, Seller shall reimburse to Purchaser its third party out-of-pocket 44 expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement (not to exceed $400,000 in the aggregate), whereupon no party hereto shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder, except as otherwise herein provided. SELLER'S INITIALS: /S/ A.K. PURCHASER'S INITIALS: /S/ T.H. 7.2 IF THERE SHALL BE A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER HEREUNDER, AND SELLER SHALL ELECT TO TERMINATE ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, PURSUANT TO THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER MAY SUFFER AS A RESULT THEREOF. THUS, PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY DO AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT THAT PURCHASER SHALL DEFAULT AND FAIL TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND SELLER SHALL ELECT TO TERMINATE ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE, AS SELLER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY), AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE EARNEST MONEY ALLOCATED TO THE APPLICABLE PROPERTIES (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF SUCH DEFAULT OCCURS AT OR PRIOR TO THE FIRST CLOSING, THEN THE SELLER SHALL ONLY BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE A PORTION OF THE EARNEST MONEY IN THE AMOUNT OF FOUR MILLION DOLLARS AND PURCHASER SHALL RECEIVE A REFUND OF THE BALANCE OF THE EARNEST MONEY IN THE AMOUNT OF FOUR MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS), WHICH AMOUNT WOULD BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR SUCH DEFAULT BY PURCHASER UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS TO DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDIES HEREIN EXPRESSLY SHALL BE WAIVED BY SELLER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT LIMIT SELLER'S RIGHT TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES, AS HEREIN PROVIDED, OR WAIVE OR AFFECT PURCHASER'S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES WOULD NOT BE INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT RATHER, WOULD BE INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER. IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE THAT SELLER WILL INCUR EXPENSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THAT THE INTERESTS AND THE PROPERTIES WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, BUT SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH 7.1 ABOVE, NOTHING HEREIN SHALL ACT TO REDUCE ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES OF SELLER AGAINST PURCHASER ARISING OUT OF ANY DEFAULT BY PURCHASER WITH RESPECT TO WHICH SELLER SHALL SPECIFICALLY ENFORCE THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST PURCHASER.

ARTICLE 9 CLOSING ADJUSTMENTS Except as otherwise herein provided, the following items shall be paid, prorated and/or adjusted as of the close of business on the day prior to the Closing Date (the "Proration Date"), as follows: 9.1 All real estate taxes and all personal property taxes accruing with respect to the period ending on, but inclusive of, the Proration Date, and all penalties and interest thereon, and all certified and other special assessments affecting the Properties shall be paid in full by Seller (or credited to Purchaser) at Closing; provided, however, that, if any such certified and special assessments shall be pending or payable in installments, Seller only shall be responsible for paying the portion of such assessments accruing with respect to the period ending on, but inclusive of, the Proration Date. 9.2 Current real estate and personal property taxes shall be prorated as of the Proration Date, on an "accrual" basis in accordance with the standard closing practice of the county in which the Property, 48 with respect to which such item shall relate, is located. The parties hereby further do agree to re-prorate such real estate taxes promptly upon Purchaser's receipt of the actual tax bill for the tax year in question. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in such taxes resulting from the sale of the Interests or improvements made to the Properties after the Closing. Seller shall be entitled to retain the full amount of any tax refund received by Purchaser or Seller after the Closing and attributable to a period prior to the Closing, if such refund shall not be owed to Tenants pursuant to any leases. Purchaser promptly shall deliver the full amount of such tax refund to Seller, if the same shall have been received by Purchaser. The foregoing shall not be merged into this Agreement and shall survive the Closing. 9.3 Any non-cash security deposits shall be assigned (and all consents necessary to effectuate such assignment shall have been obtained) to Purchaser at the Closing, and Seller reasonably shall cooperate with Purchaser to change the named beneficiary under such security deposits, if, on the Proration Date, such deposits are not to be in the name of Purchaser or Aero SeaTac, as the case may be, all at Seller's sole cost and expense). In the event that as of a Closing, Seller has not obtained all necessary consents or otherwise effectuated the assignment of any non-cash security deposits with respect to any Properties acquired by Purchaser at such Closing, Seller shall use diligent commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents and cause such assignment to occur promptly after the Closing at Seller's expense. In addition, with respect to any such non-cash security deposits for which a consent has not been obtained or which has not been assigned as of the applicable Closing, if a tenant defaults under its lease and the landlord would have the right to apply any such non-cash security deposit, then Seller shall, upon Purchaser's written request, draw down on such non-cash security deposit and immediately deliver the proceeds therefrom to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless against any Losses arising out of any claims by the applicable tenant arising as a result of the drawing down of such non-cash security deposit. 9.4 All of the following will be credited to Purchaser as of the Proration Date: (a) prepaid rent and rent paid for the balance of the month of the Closing, (b) cash security deposits made by Tenants, along with all interest thereon that shall be due to such Tenants, but not including interest earned thereon that shall belong to Seller or Aero SeaTac, if any, received by Seller or Aero SeaTac, as the case may be, prior to the Proration Date, (c) except as provided in Paragraph 6.6(b), the amount of any Landlord Obligations remaining unpaid as of (or with respect to rent abatements, the amount applicable to the period occurring after) the applicable Closing, and (d) utility costs, operating expenses, insurance costs, personal property expenses and real estate tax expenses (collectively, "Expense Contributions") that shall have been prepaid by Tenants. Any payment of rental obligations or Expense Contributions due, but not received, on the Proration Date, from Tenants, as well as any unbilled Expense Contributions accrued as of the Closing (collectively, the "Credit Items"), shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller as and when such amounts are collected from the applicable Tenants and after Purchaser is made current on all rental obligations and Expense Contributions due and payable following the Closing. Following the Closing Date, if Seller or Aero SeaTac shall receive any payments from any Tenant, all such payments, other than Credit Items, promptly shall be remitted to Purchaser, and Seller shall take all steps as reasonably shall be necessary to notify the remitting party that all future payments should be sent to Purchaser. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in its efforts to collect Credit Items, but shall not be required to take any direct action against any Tenant for such purpose (provided that, Seller shall be entitled to sue a Tenant or take any other actions to collect any Credit Items due to Seller (and not previously paid to Seller) so long as such suit or other action does not seek a termination of such Tenant's Lease or eviction of such Tenant). 49 When actual Expense Contributions shall have become known, Purchaser shall bill each Tenant, pursuant to its lease, for the additional amount, if any, owed by such Tenant as a result of non-payment or underpayment of such Tenant's share of Expense Contributions. Upon the collection of such amounts, the same shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser based on each such Tenant's share of the amount of the applicable Expense Contribution incurred by each party and the collections from each of such Tenants of such Expense Contributions by each party, through and including the Proration Date. The amount of any refund or credit due to any Tenant as a result of collection by Seller or Aero SeaTac prior to the Closing Date of payments by any Tenant for Expense Contributions, which shall exceed the actual amount of such Expense Contributions owed by such Tenant for the period prior to the Closing Date, shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser promptly after such Expense Contributions shall have been determined. 9.5 Seller shall (and Seller shall cause Aero SeaTac to) pay all expenses necessary to repair, operate and maintain the Properties, as the case may be, in accordance with the ordinary course of its business up to the Proration Date, any such expenses which are prepaid by Seller (to the extent attributable to the period after the Proration Date) as of the Proration Date shall be credited to Seller and/or Aero SeaTac, as the case may be, and Purchaser and/or an Approved Assignee shall be responsible to pay such expenses incurred subsequent to the Proration Date. 9.6 Meters for utility services payable by Seller or Aero SeaTac, as the case may be, shall be read on or immediately prior to the Proration Date, or as close to the Closing as shall be possible, if a reading on the day prior to the Closing cannot be obtained, and the amounts due, as disclosed by such readings, shall be paid by Seller or credited to Purchaser. Otherwise, all utility charges and billings shall be prorated using the bill for the calendar month immediately preceding the Proration Date. Any security or service deposits delivered by the Companies or Aero SeaTac to utility providers, and any interest required to be paid thereon, shall be and remain the sole property of Seller, and any refund of such security deposits shall be made directly to Seller, except to the extent such deposits shall have been assigned to Purchaser and/or the Approved Assignee(s) by Seller, in which case, Purchaser shall be debited and Seller shall be credited the amount of such assigned deposits. 9.7 Seller shall bear and pay (a) the charges to comply with the terms of Paragraph 3.1, (b) additional title insurance premiums charged in connection with issuance to a Lender of any loan policy(ies) of title insurance (and endorsements thereto), (c) all fees, costs and/or expenses, including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, if applicable, imposed in connection with, as applicable, the (i) written consent of each Lender and each Ground Lessor, as the case may be, to the relevant transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) assumption of the Assumed Loans, the Loan Guarantees, the Ground Leases and/or the Ground Lease Guarantees, and/or (iii) release of all of the Loan Guarantors from all of the Loan Guarantees and/or all of the Ground Lease Guarantors from all of the Ground Lease Guarantees, all as contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, all assignment and/or assumption fees charged by any Lender or Ground Lessor or EDC. 9.8 Purchaser shall bear and pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with (a) the Investigations, including, without limitation, the preparation of any Phase I, (b) any Updated Survey and/or the issuance to any lender, other than a Lender, of any loan policy(ies) of title insurance (and endorsements thereto). 50 9.9 Except as otherwise herein provided, each party shall be responsible for, and shall bear, any and all costs and expenses incurred by either of them or their respective employees, agents and/or representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, those of their respective attorneys, accountants and consultants, which obligations shall not merge into this Agreement and shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, as applicable. 9.10 All costs relating directly to any escrow and/or closing services provided in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be divided equally between the parties. Any and all (a) premiums for the Title Policies and the title update charges in connection therewith, (b) state, county and local transfer, documentary and/or stamp taxes imposed regarding the transactions contemplated hereby, (c) recording fees and (d) other items that are customarily prorated in transactions similar to the transactions contemplated hereby, but have not been herein addressed, will be prorated as of the Proration Date in accordance with the standard closing practice of the county in which the Property, with respect to which such item shall relate, is located as such standard closing practice is set forth in the Side Letter Agreement. 9.11 Any non-delinquent bonds that relate to items other than real estate taxes, that, as of the Closing Date, shall be a current lien against any of the Properties shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. 9.12 All adjustments made pursuant to this Article 9 shall be paid in cash or credited against the cash portion of the Purchase Price at the Closing. All adjustments made pursuant to this Article 9 shall be made on the basis of a 365 day year and, to the extent reasonably practicable, such prorations shall be made at the Closing. To the extent any such prorations cannot be made at the Closing, the same shall be adjusted and completed after the Closing as and when complete information shall become available. Seller and Purchaser each agrees to cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete such prorations no later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date. Seller and Purchaser each shall use its commercially reasonable efforts prior to the Closing to prepare a schedule of prorations that shall cover current monthly rent, prepaid rent, security deposits, utility charges, operating expenses, if applicable, and real property taxes, so that such prorations can be made at the Closing. 9.13 Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 12.9, each party hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and forever hold harmless the other, from and against any Losses that such other party shall sustain by reason of the failure of the indemnifying party to pay the amounts it shall be required to pay or to take the actions it is required to take on a timely basis, pursuant to this Article 9, which indemnifications, defenses and hold harmless agreements shall not be merged into this Agreement and shall survive the Closing. ARTICLE 10 FIRE DAMAGE AND CONDEMNATION If, prior to the Closing Date, any portion of a particular Property shall have been damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty in an amount exceeding One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), as determined by an insurance adjuster mutually satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser (which insurance adjuster shall have at least ten (10) years experience adjusting claims relating to similar commercial properties in the metropolitan area in which the applicable Property is located and who is not affiliated 51 with either party and who has not been engaged by either party within the previous two (2) year period; provided, that if the parties cannot agree on such an adjuster within twenty (20) days after Seller notifies Purchaser of the occurrence of the applicable casualty, the parties shall request that the local JAMS or equivalent mediation company select such an insurance adjuster meeting the aforesaid requirements), or written notice shall have been received by Seller, of any action, suit or proceeding to condemn or take all or any substantial part of a particular Property (whether a substantial part of a particular Property is affected shall be reasonably determined by Purchaser) under the power of eminent domain, Seller promptly shall notify Purchaser thereof in writing, and Purchaser, by giving Seller written notice thereof, within the earlier to occur of (a) the date that shall be thirty (30) days after receiving Seller's written notice of such fire or casualty, or such condemnation or taking (or ten (10) days after receiving the insurance adjuster's determination of the casualty amount, if later), and (b) the Closing Date, shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money, whereupon no party hereto shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder, except as otherwise herein provided; provided, however, that in the event the damage or casualty occurs at any time after the First Closing, Purchaser may elect not to purchase the affected Property only, in which event this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the affected Property only, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Property Allocation applicable to such Property, the Earnest Money allocated to such Property pursuant to the Earnest Money Allocations shall be returned to Purchaser, and Purchaser and Seller shall thereafter have no further obligation or liability with respect to said affected Property, except as set forth herein. If the damage or destruction caused by a fire or other casualty shall be such that Purchaser shall not be entitled, or shall not elect, to terminate this Agreement, pursuant to this Article 10, then (i) the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated as herein provided, (ii) there shall be credited against the Purchase Price an amount equal to the estimated cost to repair or restore the damage not so repaired or restored by Seller as of the Closing, together with an amount equal to the anticipated rental loss for the period subsequent to the Closing, if applicable, the amount of which credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the insurance proceeds that are made available to Purchaser at the Closing to cover such loss(es), if applicable, and (iii) the Closing Date shall be extended for such reasonable period of time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) to enable the aforesaid adjuster to determine the amount of such damage, if applicable. The amount to be credited against the Purchase Price, pursuant to the foregoing sentence, shall be determined by the aforesaid adjuster. If, in the case of a condemnation or taking, Purchaser shall not be entitled, or have elected, to terminate its obligations hereunder, pursuant to this Article 10, and the corresponding condemnation award has been paid to the relevant Company or Aero SeaTac, Purchaser shall receive, on the applicable Closing Date, a credit towards the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the award received by such Company or Aero SeaTac. If, in the case of a condemnation or taking, Purchaser shall not be entitled, or have elected, to terminate its obligations hereunder, pursuant to this Article 10, and the corresponding condemnation award shall not have been paid to the relevant Company or Aero SeaTac, as the case may be, Purchaser shall receive, on the Closing Date an assignment of the entire amount of such corresponding condemnation award, and the Purchase Price shall be the full amount herein provided. The agreements contained in this Article 10 shall not be merged into this Agreement and shall survive the Closing.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of California. 12.8 Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 12.20, both Seller and Purchaser shall not, and shall 54 not permit any broker, finder or agent to, publicize the transactions contemplated hereby in any way and shall treat the same with confidentiality. 12.9 It is expressly understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, from and after the Effective Date, the representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, undertakings and agreements made by Seller hereunder, or under any of the documents executed and delivered by Seller at the Closing, shall not be for the purpose and/or with the intention of binding Seller or any of the Seller's Parties in their individual capacities, but rather, solely for the purpose of binding (and shall be enforceable against), after the Closing, Seller's assets only, and that no personal liability or personal responsibility shall be assumed by, or shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against, any of the Seller's Parties in their individual capacities, after the Closing, on account of any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking, indemnity or agreement of Seller, either express or implied, all such personal liability or responsibility, if any, being expressly waived and released by Purchaser and by all persons claiming by, through or under Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 12.9 or elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) if Seller's assets are not sufficient to satisfy any claim by Purchaser made on account of any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking, indemnity or agreement of Seller, then Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue collection of any such claims against the Seller's Parties to the extent of any distributions of the Cash portion of the Purchase Price made to such Seller's Parties; provided that each of the Seller's Parties shall only be responsible for payment of such claim to the extent of its pro rata share of such distributions actually received by all of the Seller's Parties with respect to the particular Property for which a particular claim relates (provided that for the purposes of this clause (i) the New York Properties shall be deemed to be one Property), and (ii) Seller's and the Seller's Parties liability under this Paragraph 12.9 with respect to Purchaser's claims relating to a particular Property shall be limited to the amount of the Property Allocation for such Property (provided that for the purposes of this clause (ii) the New York Properties shall be deemed to be one Property). The provisions of this Paragraph 12.9 shall not be merged into this Agreement and shall survive the Closing. 12.10 Purchaser hereby agrees to cooperate with Seller, at no cost or liability to Purchaser, and subject to the provisions contained herein, in connection with any attempts on the part of the Seller to recover from any third party any amounts for which Purchaser shall have received a credit from Seller, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, where such credit relates to an obligation of Seller to indemnify Purchaser or otherwise pay for the cost of any claims that relate to the acts of such third parties. 12.12 Both parties to this Agreement having participated fully and equally in the negotiation and preparation hereof, this Agreement shall not be more strictly construed, or any ambiguities within this Agreement resolved, against either party hereto. 12.13 If an event specified to occur herein falls on a Saturday or Sunday, or on a day on which banking institutions in the State of Illinois or California are authorized by law to close, then such event shall occur on the next day that is not a Saturday or Sunday, or on a day on which banking institutions in the State of Illinois or California are located are authorized by law to close. 12.14 In connection with any litigation arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, including, without limitation, all fees and costs incurred prior to and at all trial and appellate levels. 55 12.15 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. 12.16 This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, which, together, shall be deemed to be an original and shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts of this Agreement also may be transmitted by facsimile copier, which, together, shall be deemed to be an original. 12.17 Purchaser may not assign this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Seller, unless (a) Purchaser first shall have notified Seller in writing of such assignment (and Seller shall hereby be deemed to have been notified of Purchaser's intended assignment of this Agreement with respect to the First Closing Properties to AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company), and (b) such assignee(s) shall be an "Approved Assignee(s)", which, for purposes hereof, shall be any entity that shall be owned or controlled by, or under common control with, Purchaser; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, further that Purchaser can assign all or a part of this Agreement to one or more Approved Assignees. 12.18 Purchaser and Seller have entered into a certain Letter of Intent dated as of August 15, 2003 (the "LOI"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the LOI, (a) this Agreement shall supercede the LOI, (b) from and after the Effective Date, the LOI shall be null and void and of no further force or effect and (c) in the event of any conflict between any term, provision or condition contained herein and any term, provision or condition contained in the LOI, the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall govern and control. 12.19 Except with respect to any Properties that Purchaser has elected not to acquire pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 4.1, 5.1 and Article 10 hereunder, Seller agrees not to market or show any of the Properties to any other prospective purchasers during the term of this Agreement. 12.20 Purchaser and Seller each agree that the terms of this transaction, the identities of Purchaser and Seller, and all information made available by one party to the other or in any way relating to the other party's interest in this transaction, shall be maintained in strict confidence and no disclosure of such information will be made, whether or not the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall close, except to such attorneys, accountants, investment advisors, lenders and others as are reasonably required to evaluate and consummate the transaction or as required by law. Purchaser and Seller each further agree and covenant as follows: (1) Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall disclose or authorize the disclosure of the terms of this Agreement or any instruments, documents, or assignments delivered in connection with this Agreement, or the identity of the other party to this Agreement in any public statement, news release, or other announcement or publication. (2) Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent either Purchaser or Seller from disclosing or accessing any information otherwise deemed confidential under this paragraph (i) in connection with that party's enforcement of its rights hereunder; (ii) pursuant to any legal requirement, any statutory reporting requirement or any accounting or auditing disclosure requirement; (iii) in connection with 56 performance by either party of its obligations under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the delivery and recordation of instruments, notices or other documents required hereunder); or (iv) to potential investors, participants or assignees in or of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or such party's rights therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Subparagraph 12.20 (but subject to the provisions of Paragraph 12.20(4)), Purchaser shall be permitted to make such disclosures regarding the Property and the subject transaction as are reasonably determined to be required by law and/or as are similar or consistent with Purchaser's general public disclosure policy, including disclosures made by Purchaser in its quarterly supplemental analyst disclosure packages, and including disclosures that are necessary or appropriate in connection with Purchaser's securities filings, which may include the filing of this Agreement with the SEC. (3) If this Agreement is terminated with respect to any or all of the Properties, Purchaser shall destroy or return to Seller all materials received by Purchaser from Seller with respect to such Properties as are affected by such termination of this Agreement. (4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 12.20, Purchaser shall have the sole right to determine the timing and content of the initial public announcement of the Strategic Alliance and each new Project (as such terms are defined in the Strategic Alliance Agreement), subject to IAC's consent to the content thereof (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); thereafter, either Owner (as defined in the Strategic Alliance Agreement) shall have the right to publicize the Strategic Alliance and such Project subject to the other Owner's consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall be permitted to make such disclosures regarding the Strategic Alliance and each Project as are similar or consistent with Purchaser's general public disclosure policy, including disclosures made by Purchaser in its quarterly supplemental analyst disclosure packages; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser make a public announcement of Verizon's (as defined in the Strategic Alliance Agreement) involvement in the Strategic Alliance unless, prior to such public announcement of Verizon's involvement, Purchaser determines in good faith that such public announcement of Verizon's involvement may be required by applicable laws and regulations and Purchaser provides written notice to Verizon at least two (2) business days prior to any such public announcement, which notice shall include the specific language that Purchaser proposes to include in such public announcement regarding Verizon's involvement. Purchaser shall consider in good faith any suggested revisions to such language provided by Verizon, which must be provided to Purchaser within two (2) business days after delivery of a notice to Verizon pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Strategic Alliance Agreement. In any event Purchaser may, without providing prior notice to Verizon, make a public announcement that IAC includes a pension fund affiliated with a "publicly held corporation," a "Fortune 500 company" or other similar designation. 12.21 If, within two years following the applicable Closing Date, it becomes reasonably necessary to do so in order to comply with applicable securities laws or the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Purchaser shall have the right, to the extent reasonably necessary, to inspect the books and records of Seller relating to the operation of the applicable Property for the period of three (3) years preceding the Closing Date. Purchaser shall give reasonable prior written notice to Seller when Purchaser wishes to exercise its right to inspect such books and records. Such inspection shall take place at the offices of Seller's investment advisors, property manager or other location as Seller shall reasonably designate during normal business hours and on a date and at a time reasonably convenient to Seller and Purchaser. The provisions of this Subparagraph 12.22 shall 57 survive the Closing. 12.22 This Agreement is intended for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns and shall not be for the benefit of any other party. 58 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date first above written.
