Explanation of Responses:
1. Reporting person elected to defer the gains from the stock option exercise reported on this Form 4 into the Amended and Restated AMB Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). In connection with this election, reporting person exercised the option via a stock-for-stock exercise. Shares of common stock with an aggregate value equal to the resulting gain were then deferred into the Plan, and reporting person's account was credited with a corresponding number of stock units, each of which represents the reporting person's right to receive a share of AMB common stock upon distribution of his account. Distribution will occur upon retirement, death, other termination of employment or disability, upon AMB's change of control or on such other date as the reporting person elects.
2. These shares were exchanged with AMB in a stock-for-stock swap to pay for the aggregate exercise price of the options ($10,500,000) pursuant to the Plan.
3. Solely a change in the form of beneficial ownership.
4. Not applicable.
5. Of the 2,131,987 securities beneficially owned, 61,223 shares are directly owned (D), 1,522,108 securities are indirectly held (I) through a Trust FBO reporting person with reporting person and spouse as sole trustees, 131,776 securities are indirectly held (I) through the HRM Trust 1997, U/A/D June 17, 1997 and 416,880 securities are indirectly held (I) through a rabbi trust pursuant to the Amended and Restated AMB Nonqualifed and Deferred Compensation Plan.
6. The stock units are held indirectly through a rabbi trust pursuant to the Plan.
7. One-fourth of the shares subject to the option vest and become exercisable annually on the anniversary of the grant date beginning 11/24/1998. The shares became fully vested on 11/24/2001.
