Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On December 29, 2008, our subsidiary of which we are the general partner, AMB Property, L.P., terminated a 142,000,000 364-day multi-currency revolving facility agreement and related guarantee entered on May 30, 2008, by and among our affiliate AMB Fund Management S.à r.l., acting in its own name but on behalf of AMB Europe Fund I FCP-FIS, as the obligors’ agent, certain of our European affiliates as original borrowers, ING Real Estate Finance N.V. and certain of its European affiliates as lenders and ING Real Estate Finance N.V., as facility agent (the “142,000,000 facility agreement”).
     Prior to the termination of the 142,000,000 facility agreement, four of our European affiliates that were subsidiaries of AMB Europe Fund I FCP-FIS holding real property interests in Germany were borrowers under such facility agreement (collectively, the “European affiliate borrowers”). The outstanding borrowed amount of the European affiliate borrowers under such facility agreement was repaid in full on December 29, 2008, the termination date. Our subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., was the guarantor of the amounts borrowed under the terminated 142,000,000 facility agreement. We own an approximate 20% interest in AMB Europe Fund I FCP-FIS, an unconsolidated co-investment venture, and our share of debt as reported in our quarterly and annual financial statements includes approximately 20% of the outstanding debt of AMB Europe Fund I FCP-FIS.
     In connection with the payment in full under, and the termination of, the 142,000,000 facility agreement, the European affiliate borrowers and/or their affiliates borrowed funds under an existing credit facility held by AMB Europe Fund I FCP-FIS, and entered new 5-year term loans with the lender in the aggregate amount of 50,202,000 under such facility. The borrowed funds were used to repay the outstanding amounts under the terminated 142,000,000 credit facility. The European affiliate borrowers are in the process of granting security interests to the lender, as the security agent, under and in accordance with the terms of such facility, all of which security interests are expected to become effective in the first half of 2009. Our subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., has agreed to guarantee the 50,202,000 amount borrowed under such existing credit facility only until the security interests are granted, at which time the guarantees will be extinguished.
     Other than the terminated 142,000,000 facility agreement, we have an on-going banking relationship with ING Real Estate Finance N.V. and certain of its affiliates, including the following arrangements: (i) the existing credit facility held by AMB Europe Fund I FCP-FIS; (ii) our amended and restated revolving credit agreement, dated as of June 1, 2006, as amended and (iii) our credit agreement, dated as of September 4, 2008.
     A copy of the termination letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated into this current report by reference.
