PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, is one of the leading owners and operators of industrial real estate nationwide. Our investment strategy is to become a leading provider of High Throughput Distribution, or HTD, properties located near key passenger and cargo airports, highway systems and ports in major metropolitan areas, such as Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Northern New Jersey/New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, Southern California, Miami, and Seattle. Within each of our markets, we focus our investments in in-fill submarkets. In-fill sub-markets are characterized by supply constraints on the availability of land for competing projects as well as by having physical, political, or economic barriers to new development. High Throughput Distribution facilities are designed to serve the high-speed, high-value freight handling needs of today's supply chain, as opposed to functioning as long-term storage facilities. We believe that the growth of the airfreight and ocean-going container business and the outsourcing of supply chain management to third party logistics companies are indicative of the changes that are occurring in the supply chain and the manner in which goods are distributed. In addition, we believe that inventory levels as a percentage of final sales are falling and that goods are moving more rapidly through the supply chain. As a result, we intend to focus our investment activities primarily on industrial properties that we believe will benefit from these changes.
As of December 31, 2001, we owned and operated 905 industrial buildings and seven retail centers, totaling approximately 81.6 million rentable square feet, located in 26 markets nationwide. As of December 31, 2001, our industrial and retail properties were 94.5% and 89.3% leased, respectively. As of December 31, 2001, through our subsidiary, AMB Capital Partners, LLC, we also managed industrial buildings and retail centers, totaling approximately 2.7 million rentable square feet on behalf of various clients. In addition, we have invested in 40 industrial buildings, totaling approximately 4.9 million rentable square feet, through unconsolidated joint ventures.
As of December 31, 2001, we had seven retail centers and three industrial properties, which were held for divestiture. During 2001, we disposed of 26 industrial buildings and two retail buildings, aggregating approximately 3.2 million rentable square feet, for an aggregate price of $193.4 million. Over the next few years, we intend to dispose of non-strategic assets and redeploy the resulting capital into industrial properties in supply constrained markets in the U.S. and internationally that better fit our current investment focus.
We are engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management, renovation, expansion, and development of primarily industrial properties in target markets nationwide. As of December 31, 2001, AMB Property Corporation owned an approximate 94.4% general partnership interest in us, excluding preferred units. As our sole general partner, AMB Property Corporation has full, exclusive, and complete responsibility and discretion in our day-to-day management and control.
AMB Property Corporation is self-administered and self-managed and we expect that it has qualified and will continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ending December 31, 1997. Because AMB Property Corporation is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, our employees perform its administrative and management functions, rather than it relying on an outside manager for these services. Our principal executive office is located at Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco, CA 94111, and our telephone number is (415) 394-9000. We also maintain a regional office in Boston, Massachusetts. As of December 31, 2001, we employed 179 individuals, 134 at our San Francisco headquarters and 45 in our Boston office.

CO-INVESTMENT JOINT VENTURES
We enter into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures provide us with an additional source of capital to fund certain acquisitions, development projects, and renovation projects. As of December 31, 2001, we had investments in five co-investment joint ventures with a gross book value of $1.3 billion, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes and which are discussed below. We believe that our co-investment program will also continue to serve as a source of capital for acquisitions and developments.
We are the managing general partner of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund I, L.P. and, together with one of our affiliates, owned, as of December 31, 2001, approximately 21% of the partnership interests in the Alliance Fund I. The Alliance Fund I is a co-investment partnership between us and AMB Institutional Alliance REIT I, Inc., a limited partner of the Alliance Fund I, which includes 15 institutional investors as stockholders. The Alliance Fund I is engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management, renovation, expansion, and development of industrial buildings in target markets nationwide. As of December 31, 2001, the Alliance Fund I had received equity contributions from third party investors totaling $169.0 million, which, when combined with anticipated debt financings and our investment, creates a total capitalization of $378.0 million.
We formed AMB Partners II, L.P. with the City and County of San Francisco Employees' Retirement System to acquire, develop, and redevelop distribution facilities nationwide. On February 14, 2001, AMB Partners II received an equity contribution from CCSFERS of $50.0 million, which, when combined with anticipated debt financings and our investment, creates a total planned capitalization of $250.0 million. We are the managing general partner of AMB Partners II and owned, as of December 31, 2001, 50% of AMB Partners II.
We formed AMB-SGP, L.P. with a subsidiary of GIC Real Estate Pte Ltd., the real estate investment subsidiary of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation, to own and operate, through a private real estate investment trust, distribution facilities nationwide. On March 23, 2001, AMB-SGP received an equity contribution from GIC of $75.0 million, which, when combined with anticipated debt financings and our investment, creates a total planned capitalization of $335.0 million. We are the managing general partner of AMB-SGP and owned, as of December 31, 2001, approximately 50.3% of AMB-SGP.
We formed AMB Institutional Alliance Fund II, L.P., in which AMB Alliance REIT II, Inc. became a partner on June 28, 2001. We are the managing general partner and, together with one of our affiliates, owned, as of December 31, 2001, approximately 20% of the partnership interests in the Alliance Fund II. The Alliance Fund II is a co-investment partnership between us and AMB Institutional Alliance REIT II, Inc., a limited partner of the Alliance Fund II, which includes 12 institutional investors as stockholders as of December 31, 2001. The Alliance Fund II is engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management, renovation, expansion, and development of industrial buildings in target markets nationwide. As of December 31, 2001, the Alliance Fund II had received equity commitments from third party investors totaling $195.4 million, which, when combined with anticipated debt financings and our investment, creates a total planned capitalization of $488.0 million.
We, together with one of our affiliates, own, as of December 31, 2001,
approximately 50% of the partnership interests in AMB/Erie. L.P. or "Erie". Erie
is a co-investment partnership between us and various entities related to Erie
Indemnity Company, and is engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation,
management, renovation, expansion, and development of industrial buildings in
target markets nationwide. As of December 31, 2001, Erie had received equity
contributions from third party investors totaling $14.0 million, which, when
combined with debt financings and our investment, created a total capitalization
of $129.0 million.
ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY
During 2001, we invested $428.3 million in operating properties, consisting of 65 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 6.8 million square feet, including the investment of $219.5 million in 36 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 3.8 million square feet, for three of our co-investment joint ventures.
During 2001, we also contributed $539.2 million in operating properties, consisting of 111 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 10.8 million square feet, to three of our co-investment joint ventures. During 2001, we recognized gains of $17.8 million on the contributions, which represents the portion of the contributed properties acquired by our third-party co-investors.
As of December 31, 2001, we and our co-investment partners had in our development pipeline: (1) 12 industrial projects, which will total approximately 3.1 million square feet and have a total estimated investment of $154.4 million upon completion; and (2) two development projects available for sale, which will total approximately 0.6 million square feet and have an aggregate estimated investment of $50.0 million upon completion. As of December 31, 2001, we and our Development Alliance Partners have funded an aggregate of $127.3 million and will need to fund an estimated additional $77.1 million in order to complete projects currently under construction.
OPERATING STRATEGY
AMB Property Corporation is a full-service real estate company with in-house expertise in acquisitions, development and redevelopment, asset management and leasing, finance and accounting, and market research. AMB Property Corporation has long-standing relationships with many real estate management and development firms across the country, our Strategic Alliance Partners.
We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local business and that the most effective way for us to operate is by forging alliances with service providers in every market. We believe that these collaborations allow us to: (1) leverage our national presence with the local market expertise of brokers, developers, and property managers; (2) improve the operating efficiency and flexibility of our national portfolio; (3) strengthen customer satisfaction and retention; and (4) provide a continuous pipeline of growth.
We believe that our partners give us local market expertise and flexibility allowing us to focus on our core competencies: developing and refining our strategic approach to real estate investment and management and raising private capital to finance growth and enhance returns.
GROWTH STRATEGIES
GROWTH THROUGH OPERATIONS
We seek to generate internal growth through rent increases on existing space and renewals on re-tenanted space. We do this by seeking to maintain a high occupancy rate at our properties and by seeking to control expenses by capitalizing on the economies of owning, operating, and growing a large national portfolio. As of December 31, 2001, our industrial properties and retail centers were 94.5% leased and 89.3% leased, respectively. During 2001, we increased average industrial base rental rates (on a cash basis) by 20.4% from the expiring rent for that space, on leases entered into or renewed during the period. This amount excludes expense reimbursements, rental abatements, and percentage rents. During 2001, we also increased same-store net operating income by 6.3% on our industrial properties.
GROWTH THROUGH ACQUISITIONS AND CAPITAL REDEPLOYMENT
We believe that our significant acquisition experience, our alliance-based operating strategy, and our extensive network of property acquisition sources will continue to provide opportunities for external growth. We believe that our relationships with third party local property management firms through our Management Alliance Program also will create acquisition opportunities, as such managers market properties on behalf of sellers. Our operating structure also enables us to acquire properties through our UPREIT Alliance Program in exchange for our limited partnership units, thereby enhancing our attractiveness to owners and developers
seeking to transfer properties on a tax-deferred basis. In addition to acquisitions, we seek to redeploy capital from non-strategic assets into properties that better fit our current investment focus.
We are generally in various stages of negotiations for a number of acquisitions and dispositions, which may include acquisitions and dispositions of individual properties, acquisitions of large multi-property portfolios, and acquisitions of other real estate companies. There can be no assurance that we will consummate any of these transactions. Such transactions, if we consummate them, may be material individually or in the aggregate. Sources of capital for acquisitions may include undistributed cash flow from operations, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, other forms of secured or unsecured debt financing, issuances of debt or limited partnership unit offerings (including issuances of limited partnership units by our subsidiaries), proceeds from divestitures of properties, and assumption of debt related to the acquired properties.
GROWTH THROUGH DEVELOPMENT
We believe that renovation and expansion of properties and development of well-located, high-quality industrial properties should continue to provide us with attractive opportunities for increased cash flow and a higher rate of return than we may obtain from the purchase of fully leased, renovated properties. Value-added properties are typically characterized as properties with available space or near-term leasing exposure, undeveloped land acquired in connection with another property that provides an opportunity for development, or properties that are well located but require redevelopment or renovation. Value-added properties require significant management attention or capital investment to maximize their return. We believe that we have developed the in-house expertise to create value through acquiring and managing value-added properties and believe that our national market presence and expertise will enable us to continue to generate and capitalize on these opportunities. Through our Development Alliance Program, we have established strategic alliances with national and regional developers to enhance our development capabilities.
The multidisciplinary backgrounds of our employees should provide us with the skills and experience to capitalize on strategic renovation, expansion, and development opportunities. Several of the officers of our general partner have extensive experience in real estate development, both with us and with national development firms. We generally pursue development projects in joint ventures with local developers. This way, we leverage the development skill, access to opportunities, and capital of such developers, and we eliminate the need and expense of an in-house development staff. Under a typical joint venture agreement with a Development Alliance Partner, we would fund 95% of the construction costs and our partner would fund 5%. Upon completion, we generally would purchase our partner's interest in the joint venture.
GROWTH THROUGH CO-INVESTMENTS
We co-invest with third party partners (some of whom may be clients of AMB Capital Partners, LLC, to the extent such clients commit new investment capital), through partnerships, limited liability companies, or joint ventures. We currently use a co-investment formula with each third party whereby we will own at least a 20% interest in all ventures. In general, we control all significant operating and investment decisions of our co-investment entities. We believe that our co-investment program will continue to serve as a source of capital for acquisitions and developments; however, there can be no assurance that it will continue to do so.
GROWTH THROUGH DEVELOPMENTS FOR SALE
We, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Headlands Realty Corporation, conduct a variety of businesses that include incremental income programs, such as our development projects available for sale to third parties. Such development properties include value-added conversion projects and build-to-sell projects. During 2001, we completed and sold two value-added conversion projects for a net gain of $13.2 million. As of December 31, 2001, we were developing two projects for sale to third parties.
AMB CAPITAL PARTNERS
AMB Capital Partners, LLC provides real estate investment management services on a fee basis to clients. On December 31, 2001, AMB Investment Management, Inc. was reorganized through a series of
related transactions into AMB Capital Partners. On May 31, 2001, we began consolidating our investment in AMB Investment Management by acquiring 100% of its common stock for $0.3 million. Prior to May 31, 2001, we owned 100% of AMB Investment Management's non-voting preferred stock (representing a 95% economic interest therein) and reflected our investment using the equity method.
BUSINESS RISKS
See: "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Business Risks" for a complete discussion of the various risks that could adversely affect us.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We operate industrial and retail properties nationwide and manage our business both by property type and by market. Industrial properties consist primarily of warehouse distribution facilities suitable for single or multiple customers and are typically comprised of multiple buildings that are leased to customers engaged in various types of businesses. As of December 31, 2001, we operated industrial properties in eight hub and gateway markets in addition to 18 other markets nationwide. As of December 31, 2001, we operated retail properties in Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, the San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, and Baltimore. Retail properties are generally leased to one or more anchor customers, such as grocery and drug stores, and various retail businesses. See "Item 14. Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for segment information related to our operations.
INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES
As of December 31, 2001, we owned 905 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 81.6 million rentable square feet, located in 26 markets nationwide. Our industrial properties accounted for $494.9 million, or 96.8%, of our total annualized base rent as of December 31, 2001. Our industrial properties were 94.5% leased to over 2,900 customers, the largest of which accounted for no more than 1.3% of our annualized base rent from our industrial properties.
Property Characteristics. Our industrial properties, which consist primarily of warehouse distribution facilities suitable for single or multiple customers, are typically comprised of multiple buildings. The following table identifies type and characteristics of our industrial buildings:
BUILDING TYPE DESCRIPTION % OF PORTFOLIO ------------- ----------- -------------- Warehouse 15,000-75,000 SF, single or multi-customer 40.3% Bulk Warehouse Over 75,000 SF, single or multi-customer 37.8% Flex Industrial May include assembly or R&D, single or multi-customer, higher parking ratios 9.6% Light Industrial Smaller customers, 15,000 SF or less, higher office finish 7.3% Trans-Shipment Unique configurations for truck terminals and specialized cross-docking 1.8% Air Cargo On-tarmac or airport land for transfer of air cargo goods 1.6% Office Single or multi-customer, used strictly for office 1.5% |
Lease Terms. Our industrial properties are typically subject to lease on a "triple net basis," in which customers pay their proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance, and operating costs, or are subject to leases on a "modified gross basis," in which customers pay expenses over certain threshold levels. Lease terms typically range from three to ten years, with an average of six years, excluding renewal options. The majority of the industrial leases do not include renewal options.
Overview of Major Target Markets. Our industrial properties are located near key passenger and air cargo airports, key interstate highways, and sea ports in major metropolitan areas, such as Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Northern New Jersey, the San Francisco Bay Area, Southern California, Miami, and
Seattle. We believe our industrial properties' strategic location, transportation network and infrastructure, and large consumer and manufacturing bases support strong demand for industrial space.
Within these metropolitan areas, our industrial properties are concentrated in locations with limited new construction opportunities within established, relatively large submarkets, which we believe should provide a higher rate of occupancy and rent growth than properties located elsewhere. These in-fill locations are typically near major passenger and air cargo facilities, seaports or convenient to major highways and rail lines, and are proximate to a diverse labor pool. There is typically broad demand for industrial space in these centrally located submarkets due to a diverse mix of industries and types of industrial uses, including warehouse distribution, light assembly and manufacturing. We generally avoid locations at the periphery of metropolitan areas where there are fewer supply constraints.
INDUSTRIAL MARKET OPERATING STATISTICS
As of December 31, 2001, we operated in eight hub and gateway markets, in addition to 18 other markets nationwide. The following table represents properties in which we own a fee simple interest or a controlling interest (consolidated), and excludes properties in which we only own a non-controlling interest (unconsolidated) and properties under development.

PROPERTIES HELD THROUGH JOINT VENTURES, LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES, AND PARTNERSHIPS
CONSOLIDATED:
As of December 31, 2001, we held interests in joint ventures, limited liability companies, and partnerships with third parties, which are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. Such investments are consolidated because: (1) we own a majority interest; or (2) we exercise significant control over major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, and changes in financing. Under the agreements governing the joint ventures, we and the other party to the joint venture may be required to make additional capital contributions, and subject to certain limitations, the joint ventures may incur additional debt. Such agreements also impose certain restrictions on the transfer of joint venture interests by us or the other party to the joint venture and provide certain rights to us or the other party to the joint venture to sell its interest to the joint venture or to the other joint venture partner on terms specified in the agreement. All of the joint ventures terminate in 2024 or later, but may end earlier if a joint venture ceases to hold any interest in or have any obligations relating to the property held by the joint venture. See "Item 14. Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."

In addition, as of December 31, 2001, we held two mortgage investments from which we receive interest income.

(1) Square feet for development alliance joint ventures represents estimated square feet at completion of development project.
(2) We re-negotiated this mortgage and received a $5.0 million pay-down on the principal balance and increased the interest rate to 9.5% from 8.75% in 2001.
SECURED DEBT
As of December 31, 2001, we had $1.2 billion of indebtedness, net of unamortized premiums, secured by deeds of trust on 99 properties. As of December 31, 2001, the total gross investment value of those properties secured by debt was $2.3 billion. Of the $1.2 billion of secured indebtedness, $759.4 million was joint venture debt. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Item 14. Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in this report. We believe that as of December 31, 2001, the value of the properties securing the respective obligations in each case exceeded the principal amount of the outstanding obligations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As of December 31, 2001, there were no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our properties are the subject, the adverse determination of which we anticipate would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
There is no established public trading market for our partnership units. As of December 31, 2001, we had outstanding 94,661,445 partnership units, consisting of 87,592,418 general partnership units (consisting of 83,592,418 common units and 4,000,000 8 1/2% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units) held by AMB Property Corporation and 7,069,027 limited partnership units (consisting of 4,969,027 common units, 1,300,000 8 5/8% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units, and 800,000 7.95% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units). Subject to certain terms and conditions, the limited partnership units are redeemable by the holders or, at the option of AMB Property Corporation, exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of the common stock of AMB Property Corporation. As of December 31, 2001, there were 84 holders of our common partnership units (including AMB Property Corporation's general partnership interest). As of the same date, AMB Property Corporation was the only holder of the 8 1/2% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units, there was one holder of the 8 5/8% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Units, and there was one holder of the 7.95% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Units.
During 2001, 223,092 limited partnership units were redeemed for cash and 635,798 limited partnership units were redeemed for shares of AMB Property Corporation's common stock.

(1) Pro forma 1997 financial and other data has been prepared as if our
formation transactions, our general partner's initial public offering, and
certain property acquisitions and divestitures in 1997 had occurred on
January 1, 1997.
(2) Our financial and other data and the properties acquired in our formation
transactions have been included from November 26, 1997 to December 31, 1997.
(3) Basic and diluted net income per unit equals the net income available to
common unitholders divided by 88,915,176 and 89,954,598 units, respectively
for 2001; 89,566,375 and 90,024,511 units, respectively, for 2000;
90,792,310 and 90,867,934 units, respectively, for 1999; 89,493,394 and
89,852,187 units, respectively, for 1998; and pro forma net income divided
by 88,416,676 and 88,698,719 units, respectively, for 1997.
(4) EBITDA is computed as income before divestiture of properties, net of
minority interests and impairment charges, and minority interests plus
interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We
believe that in addition to cash flows and net income, EBITDA is a useful
financial performance measure for assessing the operating performance of a
real estate investment trust because, together with net income and cash
flows, EBITDA provides investors with an additional basis to evaluate the
ability of a real estate investment trust to incur and service debt and to
fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures. Includes our pro rata
share of EBITDA in an unconsolidated joint venture. EBITDA is not a
measurement of operating performance calculated in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not
be considered as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows
from operations, or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. EBITDA may not be indicative of our historical operating results nor
our potential future results. While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure
of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, it is not
necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other real
estate investment trusts.
(5) Operating earnings represents income before gains from dispositions of real
estate, net of minority interests and impairment reserves on properties held
for divestiture and operating properties, less minority interests' share of
net income and preferred unit distributions. It excludes the preferred unit
redemption premium. We believe that in addition to cash flows and net
income, operating earnings is a useful financial performance measure for
assessing the operating performance of a real estate investment trust
because, together with net income and cash flows, operating earnings
provides investors with an additional basis to evaluate the ability of a
real estate investment trust to incur and service debt and to fund
acquisitions and other capital expenditures. Operating earnings is not a
measurement of operating performance calculated in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not
be considered as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows
from operations, or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. Operating earnings may not be indicative of our historical operating
results nor our potential future results. While operating earnings is
frequently used as a measure of operations and the ability to meet debt
service requirements, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly
titled captions of other real estate investment trusts.
(6) Funds from Operations, or FFO, is defined as income from operations before
minority interest, gains or losses from sale of real estate, and
extraordinary losses plus real estate depreciation and adjustment to derive
our pro rata share of the FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures, less
minority interests' pro rata share of the FFO of consolidated joint ventures
and preferred unit distributions. In accordance with the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trust White Paper on funds from
operations, we include the effects of straight-line rents in funds from
operations. We believe that funds from operations is an appropriate measure
of performance for a real estate investment trust. While funds from
operations is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of
real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from
operations or net income as defined by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States and it should not be considered as an
alternative to these indicators in evaluating liquidity or operating
performance. Further, funds from operations as disclosed by other real
estate investment trusts may not be comparable.
(7) Secured debt includes unamortized debt premiums of approximately $6.8
million, $9.9 million, $10.1 million, $15.2 million, and $18.3 million as of
December 31, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. See Notes 2 and
7 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements. Statements contained in this discussion that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements. Such statements relate to our future performance and plans, results of operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and operating improvements and costs. 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 involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely upon them as predictions of future events. There is no assurance that the events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data, or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
- defaults or non-renewal of leases by customers;
- 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 that we have contracted to sell or to timely reinvest proceeds from any such 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);
- environmental uncertainties;
- risks related to natural disasters;
- financial market fluctuations;
- changes in real estate and zoning laws;
- increases in real property tax rates; and
- risks of doing business internationally.
Our success also depends upon economic trends generally, including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental regulation, legislation, population changes, and those other risk factors discussed in the section entitled "Business Risks" in this report. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our analysis only and speak as of the date of this report or as of the dates indicated in the statements.
GENERAL
We commenced operations in November 1997, shortly before the consummation of AMB Property Corporation's initial public offering
We generate revenue primarily from rent received from customers at our properties, including reimbursements from customers for certain operating costs. In addition, our growth is, in part, dependent on our ability to increase occupancy rates or increase rental rates at our properties and our ability to continue the acquisition and development of additional properties. Our income would be adversely affected if a significant number of customers were unable to pay rent or if we were unable to rent our industrial space on favorable terms. Certain significant expenditures associated with an investment in real estate (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes, and maintenance costs) generally do not decline when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the property. Moreover, as the general partner of the co-investment joint ventures, we generally will be liable for all of the joint ventures unsatisfied obligations other than non-recourse obligations. Any such liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements
Investments in Real Estate. Investments in real estate are stated at cost unless circumstances indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value. Carrying values for financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying amount of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future market conditions and the availability of capital. If impairment analysis assumptions change, then an adjustment to the carrying amount
of our long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which the assumptions change. To the extent that a property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to income. We evaluated our properties held for divestiture and operating properties for impairment and reduced their carrying value by $18.6 million and $5.9 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively. We believe that there are no additional impairments of the carrying values of our investments in real estate at December 31, 2001.
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. We have non-controlling limited partnership interests in three separate unconsolidated joint ventures. We account for the joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. We have a 56.1% interest in a joint venture, which owns an aggregate of 36 industrial buildings totaling approximately 4.0 million square feet. We also have a 50% interest in each of two other operating and development alliance joint ventures. Our net equity investment in these joint ventures is shown as investment in unconsolidated joint ventures on our consolidated balance sheets.
Investments in Other Companies. Investments in other companies were accounted for on a cost basis and realized gains and losses were included in current earnings. For our investments in private companies, we periodically reviewed our investments to determine if the value of such investments had been permanently impaired. During 2001, we recognized a loss on our investments in other companies totaling $20.8 million, including our investment in Webvan Group, Inc. We had previously recognized gains and losses on our investment in Webvan Group, Inc. as a component of other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2001, we had realized a loss on 100% of our investments in other companies.
Rental Revenues. We record rental revenue from long-term operating leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases and maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If customers fail to make contractual lease payments that are greater than our bad-debt reserves, then we may have to recognize additional bad debt charges in future periods.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The analysis below includes changes attributable to acquisitions, development activity and divestitures and the changes resulting from properties that we owned during both the current and prior year reporting periods, excluding development properties prior to being stabilized (generally defined as 90% leased or 12 months after we receive a certificate of occupancy for the building). We refer to these properties as the same store properties. For the comparison between the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the same store industrial properties consisted of properties aggregating approximately 60.2 million square feet. The properties acquired in 2000 consisted of 145 buildings, aggregating approximately 10.5 million square feet, and the properties acquired during 2001 consisted of 65 buildings, aggregating 6.8 million square feet. In 2000, property divestitures consisted of one retail center and 25 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 2.5 million square feet, and property divestitures during 2001 consisted of 24 industrial and two retail buildings, aggregating approximately 3.2 million square feet. Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the acquisition of additional properties and dispositions. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000 (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)
RENTAL REVENUES 2001 2000 $ CHANGE % CHANGE --------------- ------ ------ -------- -------- Same store...................................... $400.2 $376.7 $ 23.5 6.2% 2000 acquisitions............................... 97.1 25.6 71.5 279.3% 2001 acquisitions............................... 22.8 -- 22.8 -- Developments.................................... 27.0 14.6 12.4 84.9% Divestitures.................................... 10.9 37.1 (26.2) (70.6)% Straight-line rents............................. 10.1 10.2 (0.1) (1.0)% ------ ------ ------ ----- Total.................................... $568.1 $464.2 $103.9 22.4% ====== ====== ====== ===== |
The growth in rental revenues in same store properties resulted primarily from the incremental effect of cash rental rate increases on renewals and rollovers, fixed rent increases on existing leases, and reimbursement of expenses, partially offset by lower average occupancies. During 2001, the same store rent increases on industrial renewals and rollovers (cash basis) was 23.5% on 10.0 million square feet leased.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND OTHER INCOME 2001 2000 $ CHANGE % CHANGE -------------------------------------- ----- ----- -------- -------- Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures........................................ $ 5.5 $ 5.2 $ 0.3 5.8% Investment management income...................... 11.0 4.3 6.7 155.8% Interest and other income......................... 16.3 6.5 9.8 150.8% ----- ----- ----- ----- Total...................................... $32.8 $16.0 $16.8 105.0% ===== ===== ===== ===== |
The $6.7 million increase in investment management income was due primarily to increased asset management and acquisition fees and priority distributions from our co-investment joint ventures. The $9.8 million increase in interest and other income was primarily due to interest income from our mortgage note on the retail center that we sold in 2000 and from interest income resulting from higher average cash balances.
PROPERTY OPERATING EXPENSES AND REAL ESTATE TAXES 2001 2000 $ CHANGE % CHANGE ------------------------------------------------- ------ ------ -------- -------- (Exclusive of depreciation and amortization) Rental expenses................................. $ 69.0 $ 50.6 $18.4 36.4% Real estate taxes............................... 69.2 57.2 12.0 21.0% ------ ------ ----- ----- Property operating expenses................... $138.2 $107.8 $30.4 28.2% ====== ====== ===== ===== Same store...................................... $ 93.2 $ 87.2 $ 6.0 6.9% 2000 acquisitions............................... 27.9 7.1 20.8 293.0% 2001 acquisitions............................... 4.4 -- 4.4 -- Developments.................................... 9.6 4.3 5.3 123.3% Divestitures.................................... 3.1 9.2 (6.1) (66.3)% ------ ------ ----- ----- Total.................................... $138.2 $107.8 $30.4 28.2% ====== ====== ===== ===== |
The increase in same store properties' operating expenses primarily relates to increases in common area maintenance expenses of $2.3 million, real estate taxes of $2.5 million, and insurance expense of $0.8 million.
OTHER EXPENSES 2001 2000 $ CHANGE % CHANGE -------------- ------ ------ -------- -------- Interest, including amortization................ $129.0 $ 90.3 $38.7 42.9% Depreciation and amortization................... 111.4 90.4 21.0 23.2% General and administrative...................... 35.8 23.7 12.1 51.1% ------ ------ ----- ---- Total.................................... $276.2 $204.4 $71.8 35.1% ====== ====== ===== ==== |
The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the issuance of additional unsecured senior debt securities and an increase in secured debt balances, partially offset by decreased borrowings on our unsecured credit facility. The secured debt issuances were primarily for our co-investment joint ventures' properties. The increase in depreciation expense was due to the increase in our net investment in real estate. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased personnel and occupancy costs. In addition, the consolidation of AMB Investment Management, Inc. (predecessor-in-interest to AMB Capital Partners, LLC) and Headlands Realty Corporation on May 31, 2001, resulted in an increase in general and administrative expenses of $4.9 million.
During 2001, we recognized $20.8 million of losses on investments in other companies, related to our investment in Webvan Group, Inc. and other technology-related companies. The loss reflects a 100% write-down of the book value of the investments.
During 2001, we retired $55.2 million of secured debt prior to maturity primarily in connection with property divestitures and early prepayments. We recognized a net extraordinary loss of $0.6 million related to the early retirement of debt, resulting from prepayment penalties, partially offset by the write-off of debt premiums.
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999 (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)
RENTAL REVENUES 2000 1999 $ CHANGE % CHANGE --------------- ------ ------ -------- -------- Same store...................................... $314.4 $293.3 $ 21.1 7.2% 1999 acquisitions............................... 85.1 41.0 44.1 107.6% 2000 acquisitions............................... 28.0 -- 28.0 -- Developments.................................... 7.0 4.2 2.8 66.7% Divestitures.................................... 19.5 90.4 (70.9) (78.4)% Straight-line rents............................. 10.2 10.8 (0.6) (5.6)% ------ ------ ------ ----- Total.................................... $464.2 $439.7 $ 24.5 5.6% ====== ====== ====== ===== |
The growth in rental revenues in same store properties resulted primarily from the incremental effect of cash rental rate increases, fixed rent increases on existing leases, increases in occupancy and reimbursement of expenses, partially offset by a decrease in straight-line rents. During 2000, the same store base rents increase on renewals and rollovers (cash basis) was 28.0% on 9.8 million square feet leased.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND OTHER INCOME 2000 1999 $ CHANGE % CHANGE -------------------------------------- ----- ---- -------- -------- Equity earnings in unconsolidated joint ventures... $ 5.2 $4.7 $0.5 10.6% Investment management and other income............. 10.8 3.8 7.0 184.2% ----- ---- ---- ----- Total....................................... $16.0 $8.5 $7.5 88.2% ===== ==== ==== ===== |
The $7.0 million increase in investment management and other income was due primarily to increased acquisition fees from AMB Institutional Alliance Fund I, L.P., interest income, and development fees.
PROPERTY OPERATING EXPENSES 2000 1999 $ CHANGE % CHANGE --------------------------- ------ ------ -------- -------- Rental expenses................................. $ 50.6 $ 51.7 $ (1.1) (2.1)% Real estate taxes............................... 57.2 56.2 1.0 1.8% ------ ------ ------ ----- Property operating expenses................... $107.8 $107.9 $ (0.1) (0.1)% ====== ====== ====== ===== Same store...................................... $ 72.1 $ 69.6 $ 2.5 3.6% 1999 acquisitions............................... 20.4 12.2 8.2 67.2% 2000 acquisitions............................... 7.7 -- 7.7 -- Developments.................................... 2.5 1.8 0.7 38.9% Divestitures.................................... 5.1 24.3 (19.2) (79.0)% ------ ------ ------ ----- Total.................................... $107.8 $107.9 $ (0.1) (0.1)% ====== ====== ====== ===== |
The change in same store properties' operating expenses primarily relates to increases in real estate taxes of $2.0 million for 2000, partially offset by decreases in insurance of $0.6 million.
OTHER EXPENSES 2000 1999 $ CHANGE % CHANGE -------------- ------ ------ -------- -------- Interest expense................................ $ 90.3 $ 88.7 $ 1.6 1.8% Depreciation expense............................ 90.4 67.0 23.4 34.9% General and administrative expense.............. 23.7 25.2 (1.5) (6.0)% ------ ------ ----- ---- Total.................................... $204.4 $180.9 $23.5 13.0% ====== ====== ===== ==== |
The increase in interest expense was due primarily to the increase in the outstanding balance under our unsecured credit facility. The increase in depreciation expense was primarily due to lower than normal depreciation expense in 1999 and increases in our investments in real estate. Under the required accounting for assets held for sale, we discontinued depreciation of a substantial portion of our retail portfolio after we committed to dispose of a portion of the portfolio in March 1999. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was due to increased allocations to AMB Investment Management, Inc. (predecessor-in-interest to AMB Capital Partners, LLC), partially offset by increased personnel costs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We currently expect that our principal sources of working capital and funding for acquisitions, development, expansion, and renovation of properties will include: (1) cash flow from operations; (2) borrowings under our unsecured credit facility; (3) other forms of secured or unsecured financing; (4) proceeds from debt or limited partnership unit offerings (including issuances of limited partnership units by our subsidiaries); and (5) net proceeds from divestitures of properties. Additionally, we believe that our private capital co-investment program will also continue to serve as a source of capital for acquisitions and developments. We believe that our sources of working capital, specifically our cash flow from operations and borrowings available under our unsecured credit facility, and our ability to access private and public debt and equity capital, are adequate for us to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Property Divestitures. In 2001, we divested ourselves of 24 industrial and two retail buildings for an aggregate price of $193.4 million, with a resulting net gain of $24.1 million, net of minority interest partners' share.
Properties Held for Divestiture. We have decided to divest ourselves of three industrial properties and seven retail centers, which are not in our core markets or which do not meet our strategic objectives. The divestitures of the properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions. As of December 31, 2001, the net carrying value of the properties held for divestiture was $157.2 million.
Co-investment Joint Ventures. We consolidate the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of our five co-investment joint ventures. We consolidate these joint ventures for financial reporting purposes because we are the sole managing general partner and, as a result, control all of the major operating decisions. Third-party equity interests in the joint ventures are reflected as minority interests in the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2001, we owned approximately 26.9 million square feet of our properties through these entities. We may make additional investments through these joint ventures or new joint ventures in the future and presently plan to do so. The inability to obtain new joint venture partners could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
During 2001, we contributed $539.2 million in operating properties, consisting of 111 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 10.8 million square feet, to three of our co-investment joint ventures. We recognized a gain of $17.8 million related to these contributions, representing the portion of the contributed properties acquired by the third party co-investors.
We formed AMB Institutional Alliance Fund II, L.P. to acquire, develop, and redevelop distribution facilities nationwide, in which AMB Institutional Alliance REIT II, Inc. became a partner on June 28, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, the Alliance Fund II had received total equity commitments from third party investors of $195.4 million, which, when combined with anticipated debt financings and our investment, creates a total planned capitalization of $488.6 million. We are the managing general partner of the Alliance Fund II and owned, as of December 31, 2001, approximately 20% of the co-investment joint venture.
We formed AMB-SGP, L.P. with a subsidiary of GIC Real Estate Pte Ltd., the real estate investment subsidiary of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation, to own and operate, through a private real estate investment trust, distribution facilities nationwide. On March 23, 2001, AMB-SGP, L.P. received an equity contribution from GIC of $75.0 million, which, when combined with anticipated debt financings and our investment, creates a total planned capitalization of $335.0 million. We are the managing general partner of AMB-SGP, L.P. and owned, as of December 31, 2001, approximately 50.3% of the co-investment joint venture.
We formed AMB Partners II, L.P. with the City and County of San Francisco Employees' Retirement System to acquire, develop, and redevelop distribution facilities nationwide. On February 14, 2001, Partners II received an equity contribution from CCSFERS of $50.0 million, which, when combined with anticipated debt financings and our investment, creates a total planned capitalization of $250.0 million. We are the managing general partner of Partners II and owned, as of December 31, 2001, approximately 50% of the co-investment joint venture.
We, together with one of our affiliates, own, as of December 31, 2001, approximately 21% of the partnership interests in AMB Institutional Alliance Fund I, L.P. The Alliance Fund I is a co-investment partnership between us and AMB Institutional Alliance REIT I, Inc., which includes 15 institutional investors as stockholders, and is engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management, renovation, expansion, and development of industrial buildings in target markets nationwide. As of December 31, 2001, the Alliance Fund I had received equity contributions from third party investors totaling $169.0 million, which, when combined with debt financings and our investment, creates a total capitalization of $378.0 million.
We, together with one of our affiliates, own, as of December 31, 2001, approximately 50% of the partnership interests in AMB/Erie. L.P. Erie is a co-investment partnership between us and various entities related to Erie Indemnity Company, and is engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management, renovation, expansion, and development of industrial buildings in target markets nationwide. As of December 31, 2001, Erie had received equity contributions from third party investors totaling $13.7 million, which, when combined with debt financings and our investment, created a total capitalization of $129.0 million.
Credit Facilities. In May 2000, we entered into a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit agreement. AMB Property Corporation guarantees our obligations under the credit facility. The credit facility matures in May 2003, has a one-year extension option, and is subject to a 15 basis point annual facility fee, which is based on our credit rating. We have the ability to increase available borrowings to $700.0 million by adding
additional banks to the facility or obtaining the agreement of existing banks to increase its commitments. We use our unsecured credit facility principally for acquisitions and for general working capital requirements. Borrowings under our credit facility currently bear interest at LIBOR plus 75 basis points, which is based on our credit rating. Increases in interest rates on this indebtedness could increase our interest expense, which would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders. Accordingly, in the future, we may engage in transactions to limit our exposure to rising interest rates. As of December 31, 2001, there was an outstanding balance of $12.0 million on our unsecured credit facility. Monthly debt service payments on our credit facility are interest only. The total amount available under our credit facility fluctuates based upon the borrowing base, as defined in the agreement governing the credit facility. At December 31, 2001, the remaining amount available under our unsecured credit facility was $488.0 million (excluding the additional $200.0 million of potential additional capacity).
In July 2001, the Alliance Fund II obtained a $150.0 million credit facility from Bank of America N.A. Borrowings currently bear interest at LIBOR plus 87.5 basis points. As of December 31, 2001, the outstanding balance was $123.5 million and the remaining amount available was $26.5 million. The credit facility is secured by the unfunded capital commitments of the third party investors in the Alliance REIT II and the Alliance Fund II.
Equity. In December 2001, AMB Property II, L.P., one of our affiliates, repurchased all of its outstanding 2,200,000 8.75% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units from three institutional investors. The units were redeemed for an aggregate cost of $115.7 million, including accrued and unpaid dividends totaling $1.3 million and a premium of $4.4 million. The Series C Preferred Units had a par value of $110.0 million.
In September 2001, we issued and sold 800,000 7.95% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units at a price of $50.00 per unit in a private placement. Distributions are cumulative from the date of issuance and payable quarterly in arrears. The Series J Preferred Units are redeemable by us on or after September 21, 2006, subject to certain conditions, for cash at a redemption price equal to $50.00 per unit, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon, if any, to the redemption date. The Series J Preferred Units are exchangeable, at specified times and subject to certain conditions, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of AMB Property Corporation's Series J Preferred Stock. We used the net proceeds of $38.9 million for general corporate purposes, which may include the partial repayment of indebtedness or the acquisition or development of additional properties.
In March 2001, AMB Property II, L.P., one of our affiliates, issued and sold 510,000 8.00% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units at a price of $50.00 per unit in a private placement. Distributions are cumulative from the date of issuance and payable quarterly in arrears at a rate per unit equal to $4.00 per annum. The Series I Preferred Units are redeemable by AMB Property II, L.P. on or after March 21, 2006, subject to certain conditions, for cash at a redemption price equal to $50.00 per unit, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon, if any, to the redemption date. The Series I Preferred Units are exchangeable, at specified times and subject to certain conditions, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of AMB Property Corporation's Series I Preferred Stock. AMB Property II, L.P. used the net proceeds of $24.9 million to repay advances from us and to make a loan to us. We used the funds to partially repay borrowings under its unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The loan bears interest at 8.0% per annum and is payable on demand.
During 2001, we redeemed 223,092 and 635,798 common limited partnership units for cash and shares of AMB Property Corporation's common stock, respectively.
AMB Property Corporation's board of directors approved a stock repurchase program in 1999 for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million worth of its common stock. During 2001, AMB Property Corporation repurchased 1,392,600 shares of its common stock at an average purchase price of $23.62 per share under the program. Under the program to date, AMB Property Corporation has repurchased 2,836,200 shares of its common stock at an average purchase price of $21.22 per share. AMB Property Corporation's stock repurchase program expired in December 2001. AMB Property Corporation's board of directors approved a
new stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million worth of its common stock. The new stock repurchase program expires in December 2003 and no repurchases were made under the new program in 2001.
Debt. As of December 31, 2001, the aggregate principal amount of our secured debt was $1.2 billion, excluding unamortized debt premiums of $6.8 million. The secured debt bears interest at rates varying from 4.0% to 10.6% per annum (with a weighted average rate of 7.3%) and final maturity dates ranging from February 2002 to June 2023. All of the secured debt bears interest at fixed rates, except for three loans with an aggregate principal amount of $52.4 million as of December 31, 2001, which bear interest at variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 3.8% at December 31, 2001).
In August 2000, we commenced a medium-term note program for the issuance of up to $400.0 million in principal amount of medium-term notes, which will be guaranteed by AMB Property Corporation. As of December 31, 2001, we had issued $380.0 million of medium-term notes under this program, leaving $20.0 million available for issuance. However, on January 14, 2002, we issued and sold the remaining $20.0 million of the notes under this program to Lehman Brothers, Inc., as principal. AMB Property Corporation has guaranteed the notes, which mature on January 17, 2007, and bear interest at 5.90% per annum. We used the net proceeds of $19.9 million for general corporate purposes, to partially repay indebtedness, and to acquire and develop additional properties. In January 2001, we issued and sold $25.0 million of the notes under this program to A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., as principal. AMB Property Corporation has guaranteed the notes, which mature on January 30, 2006, and bear interest at 6.90% per annum. We used the net proceeds of $24.9 million for general corporate purposes, to partially repay indebtedness, and to acquire and develop additional properties. In March 2001, we issued and sold $50.0 million of the notes under this program to First Union Securities, Inc., as principal. AMB Property Corporation has guaranteed the notes, which mature on March 7, 2011, and bear interest at 7.00% per annum. We used the net proceeds of $49.7 million for general corporate purposes, to partially repay indebtedness, and to acquire and develop additional properties. In September 2001, we issued and sold $25.0 million of the notes under this program to Lehman Brothers, Inc., as principal. AMB Property Corporation has guaranteed the notes, which mature on September 6, 2011, and bear interest at 6.75% per annum. We used the net proceeds of $24.8 million for general corporate purposes and to acquire and develop additional properties.
Mortgage Receivables. In September 2000, we sold our retail center located in Los Angeles, California. As of December 31, 2001, we carried a 9.50% mortgage note in the principal amount of $74.0 million on the retail center. The maturity date of the mortgage note, which was originally scheduled to mature on October 1, 2001, has been extended to September 30, 2002. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we also hold a mortgage loan receivable on AMB Pier One, LLC, an unconsolidated joint venture. The note bears interest at 13.0% and matures in May 2026. As of December 31, 2001, the outstanding balance on the note was $13.2 million.
In order to maintain financial flexibility and facilitate the deployment of capital through market cycles, we presently intend to operate with a debt-to-total market capitalization ratio of approximately 45% or less. At December 31, 2001, our debt-to-total market capitalization ratio was 44.7%. Additionally, we currently intend to manage our capitalization in order to maintain an investment grade rating on our senior unsecured debt. In spite of these policies, our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, our general partner could alter or eliminate these policies without unitholder or noteholder approval or circumstances could arise that could render us unable to comply with these policies.
The tables below summarize our debt maturities and capitalization as of December 31, 2001 (dollars in thousands):

LIQUIDITY
As of December 31, 2001, we had approximately $81.7 million in cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents, and $488.0 million of additional available borrowings under our credit facility. We also had $26.5 million of additional available borrowing under our Alliance Fund II credit facility. To fund acquisitions, development activities, and capital expenditures and to provide for general working capital requirements, we intend to use: (1) cash from operations; (2) borrowings under our credit facility; (3) other forms of secured and unsecured financing; (4) proceeds from any future debt or limited partnership unit offerings (including issuances of limited partnership units by our subsidiaries); (5) proceeds from divestitures of properties; and (6) private capital. The unavailability of capital would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
We declared a regular cash distribution for the quarter ending December 31, 2001, of $0.395 per common unit. The distributions were payable on December 24, 2001, to unitholders of record on December 14, 2001. The Series A, B, E, F, G, and J preferred unit distributions were also payable on January 15, 2002, to unitholders of record on January 4, 2002. The Series D, H, and I preferred unit distributions were payable on
December 25, 2001, to unitholders of record on December 10, 2001. The following table sets forth the distributions for 2001 and 2000:
SECURITY PAYING ENTITY 2001 2000 -------- --------------------- ----- ----- Operating partnership units.................... AMB Property, L.P. $1.58 $1.48 Series A preferred units....................... AMB Property, L.P. $2.13 $2.13 Series B preferred units....................... AMB Property, L.P. $4.31 $4.31 Series C preferred units....................... AMB Property II, L.P. $3.88 $4.38 Series D preferred units.......................

The anticipated size of our distributions, using only cash from operations, will not allow us to retire all of our debt as it comes due. Therefore, we intend to also repay maturing debt with net proceeds from future debt or limited partnership unit offerings, as well as property divestitures. However, we may not be able to obtain future financings on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to obtain future financings on favorable terms or at all would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
Developments. In addition to recurring capital expenditures, which consist of building improvements and leasing costs incurred to renew or re-tenant space, as of December 31, 2001, we are developing 12 projects representing a total estimated investment of $154.4 million upon completion and two development projects available for sale representing a total estimated investment of $50.0 million upon completion. Of this total, $127.3 million had been funded as of December 31, 2001, and an estimated $77.1 million is required to complete current and planned projects. We expect to fund these expenditures with cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facility, debt or limited partnership unit issuances, and net proceeds from property divestitures, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flow. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms for development projects and we may not complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing such properties and generating cash flow. This could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders. We have no other material capital commitments.
Acquisitions. During 2001, we invested $428.3 million in 65 operating industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 6.8 million rentable square feet. We funded these acquisitions and initiated development and renovation projects through private capital contributions, borrowings under our credit facility, cash, debt and limited partnership unit issuances, and net proceeds from property divestitures.
Lease Commitments. We have entered into operating ground leases on certain land parcels with periods up to 40 years and a lease on a building in New York City. Future minimum rental payments required under non-cancelable operating leases in effect as of December 31, 2001, were as follows (dollars in thousands):
2002........................................................ $ 6,823 2003........................................................ 7,720 2004........................................................ 7,921 2005........................................................ 8,159 2006........................................................ 8,480 Thereafter.................................................. 146,335 -------- $185,438 ======== |
These operating lease payments are being amortized ratably over the terms of the related leases.
Captive Insurance Company. We have responded to recent trends towards increasing costs and decreasing coverage availability in the insurance markets by obtaining higher-deductible property insurance from third party insurers and by forming a wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd. in December 2001. Arcata will generally provide insurance coverage for losses below the increased deductible under the third party policies. Premiums paid to Arcata have a retrospective component, so that if expenses, including losses, are less than premiums collected, the excess will be returned to the property owners (and, in turn, as appropriate, to the customers) and conversely, if expenses, including losses, are greater than premiums collected, an additional premium, not in excess of the difference, will be charged. Through this structure, we believe that we have been able to obtain insurance for our portfolio with more comprehensive coverage at a projected overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.
Potential Unknown Liabilities. Unknown liabilities may include the following: (1) liabilities for clean-up or remediation of undisclosed environmental conditions; (2) claims of customers, vendors, or other persons dealing with our predecessors prior to our formation transactions that had not been asserted prior to our formation transactions; (3) accrued but unpaid liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business; (4) tax liabilities; and (5) claims for indemnification by the officers and directors of our general partner's predecessors and others indemnified by these entities.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
We believe that funds from operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, is an appropriate measure of performance for a real estate investment trust, such as AMB Property Corporation, our general partner. While funds from operations is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and it should not be considered as an alternative to those indicators in evaluating liquidity or operating performance. Further, funds from operations as disclosed by other real estate investment trusts may not be comparable.
FFO is defined as income from operations before minority interest, gains or losses from sale of real estate, and extraordinary items plus real estate depreciation and adjustment to derive our pro rata share of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures, less minority interests' pro rata share of FFO of consolidated joint ventures and perpetual preferred unit distributions. In accordance with the NAREIT White Paper on funds from operations, we include the effects of straight-line rents in funds from operations. Further, we do not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges.
The following table reflects the calculation of funds from operations for the years ended December 31, (dollars in thousands):
2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Income before minority interests............................ $165,672 $165,599 $159,321 Gains on developments held for sale......................... 13,169 -- -- Real estate related depreciation and amortization: Total depreciation and amortization....................... 111,414 90,358 67,035 Furniture, fixtures, and equipment depreciation and ground lease amortization(1)..................................

(1) Ground lease amortization represents the amortization of our investments in ground lease properties, for which we do not have a purchase option.
(2) Represents FFO attributable to minority interests in consolidated joint ventures whose interests are not exchangeable into common stock of AMB Property Corporation. The minority interests' share of net operating income for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, was $65.0 million, $25.0 million, and $12.5 million, respectively.
(3) Our share of net operating income for years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, was $10.2 million, $8.3 million, and $8.0 million, respectively.
BUSINESS RISKS
Our operations involve various risks that could have adverse consequences to us. These risks include, among others:
GENERAL REAL ESTATE RISKS
THERE ARE FACTORS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL THAT AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE AND VALUE
OF OUR PROPERTIES
Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. The yields available from equity investments in real estate depend on the amount of income earned and capital appreciation generated by the related properties as well as the expenses incurred in connection with the properties. If our properties do not generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, then our ability to pay make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders could be adversely affected. Income from, and the value of, our properties may be adversely affected by the general economic climate, local conditions such as oversupply of industrial space, or a reduction in demand for industrial space, the attractiveness of our properties to potential customers, competition from other properties, our ability to provide adequate maintenance and insurance, and an increase in operating costs. Periods of economic slowdown or recession in the United States and in other countries, rising interest rates, or declining demand for real estate, or public perception that any of these events may occur would result in a general decrease in rents or an increased occurrence of defaults under existing leases, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Future terrorist attacks in the United States may result in declining economic activity, which could harm the demand for and the value of our properties. To the extent that our customers are impacted by future attacks, their businesses similarly could be adversely affected, including their ability to continue to honor their existing leases. Our properties are currently concentrated predominantly in the industrial real estate sector. Our concentration in a certain property type exposes us to the risk of economic downturns in this sector to a greater extent than if our portfolio also included other property types. As a result of such concentration, economic downturns in the industrial real estate sector could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders. In addition, revenues from properties and real estate values are also affected by factors such as the cost of compliance with regulations, the potential for liability under applicable laws (including changes in tax laws), interest rate levels, and the availability of financing. Our income would be adversely affected if a significant number of customers were unable to pay rent or if we were unable to rent our industrial space on favorable terms. Certain significant expenditures associated with an investment in real estate (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes, and maintenance costs) generally do not decline when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the property.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO RENEW LEASES OR RELET SPACE AS LEASES EXPIRE
We are subject to the risks that leases may not be renewed, space may not be relet, or the terms of renewal or reletting (including the cost of required renovations) may be less favorable than current lease terms. Leases on a total of 14.9% of our industrial properties (based on annualized base rent) as of December 31, 2001, will expire on or prior to December 31, 2002. In addition, numerous properties compete with our properties in attracting customers to lease space, particularly with respect to retail centers. The number of competitive commercial properties in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease space in our properties and on the rents that we are able to charge. Our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and our ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders could be adversely affected if we are unable to promptly relet or renew the leases for all or a substantial portion of expiring leases, if the rental rates upon renewal or reletting is significantly lower than expected, or if our reserves for these purposes prove inadequate.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS ARE ILLIQUID
Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to economic or other conditions is limited. The limitations in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations on a real estate investment trust holding property for sale, which limitations are applicable to us as a subsidiary of AMB Property Corporation, may affect our ability to sell properties without adversely affecting distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders. The relative illiquidity of our holdings and Internal Revenue Code prohibitions and related regulations could impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our investments and could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and our ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OUR PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA
Our industrial properties located in California as of December 31, 2001, represented approximately 28.7% of the aggregate square footage of our industrial operating properties as of December 31, 2001, and 35.9% of our annualized base rent. Annualized base rent means the monthly contractual amount under existing leases as of December 31, 2001, multiplied by 12. This amount excludes expense reimbursements and rental abatements. Our revenue from, and the value of, our properties located in California may be affected by a number of factors, including local real estate conditions (such as oversupply of or reduced demand for industrial properties) and the local economic climate. Business layoffs, downsizing, industry slowdowns, changing demographics, and other factors may adversely impact the local economic climate. A downturn in either the California economy or in California real estate conditions could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and our ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders. Certain of our properties are also subject to possible loss from seismic activity.
SOME POTENTIAL LOSSES ARE NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, and rental loss insurance covering all of our properties, with policy specifications and insured limits that we believe are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances given relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage, and industry practice. There are, however, certain losses that are not generally insured because it is not economically feasible to insure against them, including losses due to acts of terrorism, riots or acts of war. Certain losses such as losses due to floods or seismic activity may be insured subject to certain limitations including large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs with respect to one or more of our properties, then we could lose the capital we invested in the properties, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the properties and, in the case of debt, which is with recourse to us, we would remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the properties. Moreover, as the general partner of the joint ventures, we generally will be liable for all of the joint ventures' unsatisfied obligations other than non-recourse obligations. Any such liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
A number of our properties are located in areas that are known to be subject to earthquake activity, including California where, as of December 31, 2001, 291 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 23.4 million square feet (representing 28.7% of our industrial operating properties based on aggregate square footage and 35.9% based on annualized base rent) are located. We carry replacement cost earthquake insurance on all of our properties located in areas historically subject to seismic activity, subject to coverage limitations and deductibles that we believe are commercially reasonable. This insurance coverage also applies to the properties managed by AMB Capital Partners, LLC, with a single aggregate policy limit and deductible applicable to those properties and our properties. Through an annual analysis prepared by outside consultants, we evaluate our earthquake insurance coverage in light of current industry practice and determine the appropriate amount of earthquake insurance to carry. We may incur material losses in excess of insurance proceeds and we may not be able to continue to obtain insurance at commercially reasonable rates.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND LIABILITIES IN CONNECTION WITH PROPERTIES OWNED THROUGH JOINT VENTURES, LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES, AND PARTNERSHIPS
As of December 31, 2001, we had ownership interests in several joint
ventures, limited liability companies, or partnerships with third parties, as
well as interests in three unconsolidated entities. As of December 31, 2001, we
owned approximately 34.1 million square feet (excluding three unconsolidated
joint ventures) of our properties through these entities. We may make additional
investments through these ventures in the future and presently plan to do so.
Such partners may share certain approval rights over major decisions.
Partnership, limited liability company, or joint venture investments may involve
risks such as the following: (1) our partners, co-members, or joint venturers
might become bankrupt (in which event we and any other remaining general
partners, members, or joint venturers would generally remain liable for the
liabilities of the partnership, limited liability company, or joint venture);
(2) our partners, co-members, or joint venturers might at any time have economic
or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business
interests or goals; (3) our partners, co-members, or joint venturers may be in a
position to take action contrary to our instructions, requests, policies, or
objectives; and (4) agreements governing joint ventures, limited liability
companies, and partnerships often contain restrictions on the transfer of a
joint venturer's, member's, or partner's interest or "buy-sell" or other
provisions, which may result in a purchase or sale of the interest at a
disadvantageous time or on disadvantageous terms.
We will, however, generally seek to maintain sufficient control of our partnerships, limited liability companies, and joint ventures to permit us to achieve our business objectives. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we may invest in partnerships, limited liability companies, or joint ventures. The occurrence of one or more of the events described above could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO CONSUMMATE ACQUISITIONS ON ADVANTAGEOUS TERMS
We intend to continue to acquire primarily industrial properties. Acquisitions of properties entail risks that investments will fail to perform in accordance with expectations. Estimates of the costs of improvements necessary for us to bring an acquired property up to market standards may prove inaccurate. In addition, there are general investment risks associated with any real estate investment. Further, we anticipate significant competition for attractive investment opportunities from other major real estate investors with significant capital including both publicly traded real estate investment trusts and private institutional investment funds. We expect that future acquisitions will be financed through a combination of borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, proceeds from debt or limited partnership unit offerings (including issuances of limited partnership units by our subsidiaries), and proceeds from property divestitures, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flow. We may not be able to acquire additional properties. Our inability to finance any future acquisitions on favorable terms or the failure of acquisitions to conform with our expectations or investment criteria, or our failure to timely reinvest the proceeds from property divestitures could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPLETE RENOVATION AND DEVELOPMENT ON ADVANTAGEOUS TERMS
The real estate development business, including the renovation and rehabilitation of existing properties, involves significant risks. These risks include the following: (1) we may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms for development projects and we may not complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing such properties and generating cash flow; (2) we may not be able to obtain, or we may experience delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other required governmental permits and authorizations; (3) new or renovated properties may perform below anticipated levels, producing cash flow below budgeted amounts; (4) substantial renovation as well as new development activities, regardless of whether or not they are ultimately successful, typically require a substantial portion of management's time and attention that could divert management's time from our day-to-day operations; and (5) activities that we finance through construction loans involve the risk that, upon completion of construction, we may not be able to obtain permanent financing or we may not be able to obtain permanent financing on advantageous terms. These risks could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPLETE DIVESTITURES ON ADVANTAGEOUS TERMS
We have decided to divest ourselves of four retail centers and one industrial property, which are not in our core markets or which do not meet our strategic objectives. The divestitures of the properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions. Our ability to dispose of properties on advantageous terms is dependent upon factors beyond our control, including competition from other owners (including real estate investment trusts) that are attempting to dispose of industrial and retail properties and the availability of financing on attractive terms for potential buyers of our properties. Our inability to dispose of properties on favorable terms or our inability to redeploy the proceeds of property divestitures in accordance with our investment strategy could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
DEBT FINANCING
WE COULD INCUR MORE DEBT
We operate with a policy of incurring debt, either directly or through our subsidiaries, only if upon such incurrence our debt-to-total market capitalization ratio would be approximately 45% or less. The aggregate amount of indebtedness that we may incur under our policy varies directly with the valuation of AMB Property Corporation's capital stock and the number of shares of capital stock and common limited partnership units outstanding. Accordingly, we would be able to incur additional indebtedness under our policy
as a result of increases in the market price per share of AMB Property Corporation's common stock or other outstanding classes of capital stock, and future issuance of shares of AMB Property Corporation's capital stock. However, our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, AMB Property Corporation, as our general partner, could alter or eliminate this policy without unitholder or noteholder consent. If we change this policy, then we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
SCHEDULED DEBT PAYMENTS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION
We are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risks that cash flow will be insufficient to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders, that we will be unable to refinance existing indebtedness on our properties (which in all cases will not have been fully amortized at maturity) and that the terms of refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. As of December 31, 2001, we had total debt outstanding of approximately $2.1 billion.
If we are unable to refinance or extend principal payments due at maturity or pay them with proceeds of other capital transactions, then we expect that our cash flow will not be sufficient in all years to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders and to repay all such maturing debt. Furthermore, if prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing (such as the reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans) result in higher interest rates upon refinancing, then the interest expense relating to that refinanced indebtedness would increase. This increased interest expense would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders. In addition, if we mortgage one or more of our properties to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to meet mortgage payments, then the property could be foreclosed upon or transferred to the mortgagee with a consequent loss of income and asset value. A foreclosure on one or more of our properties could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
RISING INTEREST RATES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR CASH FLOW
As of December 31, 2001, we had $123.5 million outstanding under our Alliance Fund II secured credit facility, $12.0 million outstanding under our unsecured credit facility, and we had four secured loans with an aggregate principal amount of $52.4 million, which bear interest at variable rates (with weighted average interest rate of 3.8% as of December 31, 2001). In addition, we may incur other variable rate indebtedness in the future. Increases in interest rates on this indebtedness could increase our interest expense, which would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders. Accordingly, in the future, we may engage in transactions to limit our exposure to rising interest rates.
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON EXTERNAL SOURCES OF CAPITAL
In order for our general partner, AMB Property Corporation, to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code, we are required each year to make distributions to enable our general partner to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its real estate investment trust taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding any net capital gain) and it is subject to tax on its income to the extent it is not distributed. Because of this distribution requirement, we may not be able to fund all future capital needs, including capital needs in connection with acquisitions, from cash retained from operations. As a result, to fund capital needs, we rely on third party sources of capital, which we may not be able to obtain on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third party sources of capital depends upon a number of factors, including: (1) general market conditions; (2) the market's perception of our growth potential; (3) our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions; and (4) the market price of AMB Property Corporation's capital stock. Additional debt financing may substantially increase our debt-to-total capitalization ratio.
WE COULD DEFAULT ON CROSS-COLLATERALIZED AND CROSS-DEFAULTED DEBT
As of December 31, 2001, we had 22 non-recourse secured loans, which are cross collateralized by 48 properties. As of December 31, 2001, we had $551.9 million (not including unamortized debt premium) outstanding on these loans. If we default on any of these loans, then we could be required to repay the aggregate of all indebtedness, together with applicable prepayment charges, to avoid foreclosure on all the cross-collateralized properties within the applicable pool. Foreclosure on our properties, or our inability to refinance our loans on favorable terms, could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders. In addition, our credit facilities and senior debt securities contain certain cross-default provisions, which are triggered in the event that our other material indebtedness is in default. These cross-default provisions may require us to repay or restructure our credit facilities and the senior debt securities in addition to any mortgage or other debt that is in default, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
CONTINGENT OR UNKNOWN LIABILITIES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our predecessors have been in existence for varying lengths of time up to 18 years. At the time of our formation we acquired the assets of these entities subject to all of their potential existing liabilities. There may be current liabilities or future liabilities arising from prior activities that we are not aware of and therefore have not disclosed in this report. AMB Property Corporation assumed these liabilities as the surviving entity in the various merger and contribution transactions that occurred at the time of its formation. Existing liabilities for indebtedness generally were taken into account in connection with the allocation of our limited partnership units or shares of AMB Property Corporation's common stock in the formation transactions, but no other liabilities were taken into account for these purposes. We do not have recourse against AMB Property Corporation's predecessors or any of their respective stockholders or partners or against any individual account investors with respect to any unknown liabilities. Unknown liabilities might include the following: (1) liabilities for clean-up or remediation of undisclosed environmental conditions; (2) claims of customers, vendors, or other persons dealing with AMB Property Corporation's predecessors prior to the formation transactions that had not been asserted prior to the formation transactions; (3) accrued but unpaid liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business; (4) tax liabilities; and (5) claims for indemnification by the officers and directors of AMB Property Corporation's predecessors and others indemnified by these entities.
Certain customers may claim that the formation transactions gave rise to a right to purchase the premises that they occupy. We do not believe any such claims would be material and, to date, no such claims have been filed. See "-- Government Regulations -- We Could Encounter Costly Environmental Problems" below regarding the possibility of undisclosed environmental conditions potentially affecting the value of our properties. Undisclosed material liabilities in connection with the acquisition of properties, entities and interests in properties, or entities could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
OUR ACCESS TO TIMELY FINANCIAL REPORTING AND TO CAPITAL MARKETS MAY BE IMPAIRED IF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP IS UNABLE TO PERFORM REQUIRED AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES
On March 14, 2002, our independent public accountant, Arthur Andersen LLP, was indicted on federal obstruction of justice charges arising from the U.S. government's investigation of Enron Corporation. Arthur Andersen LLP has indicated that it intends to contest vigorously the indictment. The Securities and Exchange Commission has said that it will continue accepting financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, and interim financial statements reviewed by it, so long as Arthur Andersen LLP is able to make certain representations to its clients. Our access to the capital markets and our ability to make timely filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could be impaired if the Securities and Exchange Commission ceases accepting financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, if Arthur Andersen LLP becomes unable to make the required representations to us or if for any other reason Arthur Andersen LLP is unable to perform required audit-related services for us. However, we believe that our sources of working capital, specifically our
cash flow from operations and borrowings available under our unsecured credit facility, are adequate for us to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
SOME OF AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION'S DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS ARE
INVOLVED IN OTHER REAL ESTATE ACTIVITIES AND INVESTMENTS
Some of AMB Property Corporation's executive officers own interests in real estate-related businesses and investments. These interests include minority ownership of Institutional Housing Partners, L.P., a residential housing finance company, and ownership of Aspire Development, Inc. and Aspire Development, L.P., developers that own property not suitable for ownership by us. Aspire Development, Inc. and Aspire Development, L.P. have agreed not to initiate any new development projects not contemplated at AMB Property Corporation's initial public offering in November 1997. These entities have also agreed that they will not make any further investments in industrial properties other than those currently under development at the time of AMB Property Corporation's initial public offering. The continued involvement in other real estate-related activities by some of AMB Property Corporation's executive officers and directors could divert management's attention from our day-to-day operations. Most of AMB Property Corporation's executive officers have entered into non-competition agreements with AMB Property Corporation pursuant to which they have agreed not to engage in any activities, directly or indirectly, in respect of commercial real estate, and not to make any investment in respect of industrial real estate, other than through ownership of not more than 5% of the outstanding shares of a public company engaged in such activities or through the existing investments referred to in this report. State law may limit our ability to enforce these agreements.
CERTAIN OF AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION'S EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH US IN CONNECTION WITH OTHER PROPERTIES THAT THEY OWN OR CONTROL
As of December 31, 2001, Aspire Development, L.P. owns interests in three retail development projects in the U.S., one of which is a single freestanding Walgreens drugstore and two of which are Walgreens drugstores plus shop buildings, which are less than 10,000 feet. In addition, Messrs. Moghadam and Burke, each a founder and director of AMB Property Corporation, own less than 1% interests in two partnerships that own office buildings in various markets; these interests have negligible value. Luis A. Belmonte, an executive officer of AMB Property Corporation, owns less than a 10% interest, representing an estimated value of $150,000, in a limited partnership, which owns an office building located in Oakland, California.
In addition, several of AMB Property Corporation's executive officers individually own: (1) less than 1% interests in the stocks of certain publicly-traded real estate investment trusts; (2) certain interests in and rights to developed and undeveloped real property located outside the United States; and (3) certain other de minimus holdings in equity securities of real estate companies.
Thomas W. Tusher, a member of AMB Property Corporation's board of directors, is a limited partner in a partnership in which Messrs. Moghadam and Burke are general partners and which owns a 75% interest in an office building. Mr. Tusher owns a 20% interest in the partnership, valued at approximately $1.7 million. Messrs. Moghadam and Burke each have a 26.7% interest in the partnership, each valued at approximately $2.2 million.
We believe that the properties and activities set forth above generally do not directly compete with any of our properties. However, it is possible that a property in which an executive officer or director, or an affiliate of an executive officer or director of AMB Property Corporation, has an interest may compete with us in the future if we were to invest in a property similar in type and in close proximity to that property. In addition, the continued involvement of AMB Property Corporation's executive officers and directors in these properties could divert management's attention from our day-to-day operations. Our policy prohibits us from acquiring any properties from our executive officers or their affiliates without the approval of the disinterested members of AMB Property Corporation's board of directors with respect to that transaction.
AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION'S DUTY TO ITS STOCKHOLDERS MAY CONFLICT WITH THE
INTERESTS OF OUR LIMITED PARTNERS AND NOTEHOLDERS
AMB Property Corporation has fiduciary obligations to its stockholders, the discharge of which may conflict with the interests of our limited partners and noteholders.
AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION'S DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND SIGNIFICANT STOCKHOLDERS COULD ACT IN A MANNER THAT IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR LIMITED PARTNERS OR NOTEHOLDERS
As of March 20, 2002, we believe that AMB Property Corporation's two largest stockholders, Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (with respect to various client accounts for which Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. serves as investment advisor) and ABP Investments U.S. (with respect to various client accounts for which ABP Investments U.S. serves as investment advisor) beneficially owned 14.0% of AMB Property Corporation's outstanding common stock. In addition, AMB Property Corporation's executive officers and directors beneficially owned 4.3% of AMB Property Corporation's outstanding common stock as of March 20, 2002, and will have influence on AMB Property Corporation's and our management and operation and, as stockholders, will have influence on the outcome of any matters submitted to a vote of AMB Property Corporation's stockholders. This influence might be exercised in a manner that is inconsistent with the interests of our limited partners and noteholders. Although there is no understanding or arrangement for these directors, officers, and stockholders and their affiliates to act in concert, these parties would be in a position to exercise significant influence over AMB Property Corporation's and our affairs if they choose to do so.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
Many laws and governmental regulations are applicable to our properties and changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and the courts, occur frequently.
COSTS OF COMPLIANCE WITH AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, places of public accommodation must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act might require us to remove structural barriers to handicapped access in certain public areas where such removal is "readily achievable." If we fail to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, then we might be required to pay fines to the government or damages to private litigants. The impact of application of the Americans with Disabilities Act to our properties, including the extent and timing of required renovations, is uncertain. If we are required to make unanticipated expenditures to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, then our cash flow and the amounts available for distribution to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders may be adversely affected.
WE COULD ENCOUNTER ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
Federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment impose liability on a current or previous owner or operator of real estate for contamination resulting from the presence or discharge of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products at the property. A current or previous owner may be required to investigate and clean up contamination at or migrating from a site. These laws typically impose liability and clean-up responsibility without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs incurred. In addition, third parties may sue the owner or operator of a site for damages based on personal injury, property damage, or other costs, including investigation and clean-up costs, resulting from environmental contamination present at or emanating from that site.
Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance, and removal of asbestos. These laws require that owners or operators of buildings containing asbestos properly manage and maintain the asbestos, that they adequately inform or train those who may come into contact with asbestos, and that they undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement in the event that asbestos is disturbed during renovation or
demolition of a building. These laws may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators for failing to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers. Some of our properties may contain asbestos-containing building materials.
Some of our properties are leased or have been leased, in part, to owners and operators of businesses that use, store, or otherwise handle petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. These operations create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Some of our properties are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain of our properties are on, are adjacent to, or are near other properties upon which others, including former owners or customers of the properties, have engaged or may in the future engage in activities that may release petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. From time to time, we may acquire properties, or interests in properties, with known adverse environmental conditions where we believe that the environmental liabilities associated with these conditions are quantifiable and the acquisition will yield a superior risk-adjusted return. Environmental issues for each property are evaluated and quantified prior to acquisition. The costs of environmental investigation, clean-up, and monitoring are underwritten into the cost of the acquisition and appropriate environmental insurance is obtained for the property. In connection with certain divested properties, we have agreed to remain responsible for, and to bear the cost of, remediating or monitoring certain environmental conditions on the properties.
All of our properties were subject to a Phase I or similar environmental assessments by independent environmental consultants at the time of acquisition. Phase I assessments are intended to discover and evaluate information regarding the environmental condition of the surveyed property and surrounding properties and include an historical review, a public records review, an investigation of the surveyed site and surrounding properties, and preparation and issuance of a written report. We may perform additional Phase II testing if recommended by the independent environmental consultant. Phase II testing may include the collection and laboratory analysis of soil and groundwater samples, completion of surveys for asbestos-containing building materials, and any other testing that the consultant considers prudent in order to test for the presence of hazardous materials.
None of the environmental assessments of our properties has revealed any environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole. Furthermore, we are not aware of any such material environmental liability. Nonetheless, it is possible that the assessments do not reveal all environmental liabilities and that there are material environmental liabilities of which we are unaware or that known environmental conditions may give rise to liabilities that are materially greater than anticipated. Moreover, the current environmental condition of our properties may be affected by customers, the condition of land, operations in the vicinity of the properties (such as releases from underground storage tanks), or by third parties unrelated to us. If the costs of compliance with existing or future environmental laws and regulations exceed our budgets for these items, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders could be adversely affected.
OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE FAIL TO COMPLY WITH
OTHER REGULATIONS
Our properties are also subject to various federal, state, and local regulatory requirements such as state and local fire and life safety requirements. If we fail to comply with these requirements, then we might incur fines by governmental authorities or be required to pay awards of damages to private litigants. We believe that our properties are currently in substantial compliance with all such regulatory requirements. However, these requirements may change or new requirements may be imposed, which could require significant unanticipated expenditures by us. Any such unanticipated expenditure could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders.
CERTAIN PROPERTY TRANSFERS MAY GENERATE PROHIBITED TRANSACTION INCOME
From time to time, we may transfer or otherwise dispose of some of our properties. Under the Internal Revenue Code, any gain resulting from transfers of properties that we hold as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business would be treated as income from a prohibited transaction due to our general partner's election to be treated as a real estate investment trust. Our general partner would be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on that income. Since we acquire properties for investment purposes, we believe that any transfer or disposal of property by us would not be deemed by the Internal Revenue Service to be a prohibited transaction with any resulting gain allocable to us being subject to a 100% penalty tax. However, whether property is held for investment purposes is a question of fact that depends on all the facts and circumstances surrounding the particular transaction. The Internal Revenue Service may contend that certain transfers or disposals of properties by us are prohibited transactions. While we believe that the Internal Revenue Service would not prevail in any such dispute, if the IRS were to successfully argue that a transfer or disposition of property constituted a prohibited transaction, then our general partner would be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on any gain allocable to us from the prohibited transaction.
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON OUR GENERAL PARTNER'S KEY PERSONNEL
We depend on the efforts of the executive officers of our general partner. While we believe that AMB Property Corporation could find suitable replacements for these key personnel, the loss of their services or the limitation of their availability could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders. AMB Property Corporation does not have employment agreements with any of its executive officers.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH
Our business has grown rapidly and continues to grow through property acquisitions and developments. If we fail to effectively manage our growth, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders could be adversely affected.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OUR INTERNATIONAL GROWTH
We may acquire properties in foreign countries. Local markets affect our operations and, therefore, we would be subject to economic fluctuations in foreign locations. Our international operations also would be subject to the usual risks of doing business abroad such as the revaluation of currencies, revisions in tax treaties or other laws governing the taxation of revenues, restrictions on the transfer of funds, and, in certain parts of the world, political instability. We cannot predict the likelihood that any such developments may occur. Further, we may enter into agreements with non-U.S. entities that are governed by the laws of, and are subject to dispute resolution in, the courts of another country or region. We cannot accurately predict whether such a forum would provide us with an effective and efficient means of resolving disputes that may arise. Even if we are able to obtain a satisfactory decision through arbitration or a court proceeding, we could have difficulty enforcing any award or judgment on a timely basis. Our business has grown rapidly and continues to grow through property acquisitions and developments. If we fail to effectively manage our international growth, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments to our noteholders could be adversely affected.
ITEM 7A. QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevalent market rates. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching projected cash inflows from operating, investing, and financing activities with projected cash outflows for debt service, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to unitholders and payments to noteholders, and other cash requirements. The majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which minimizes the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Our exposure to market risk includes: (1) interest rate fluctuations in connection with our credit facilities and other variable rate borrowings; and (2) our ability to
incur more debt without unitholder or noteholder approval, thereby increasing
our debt service obligations, which could adversely affect our cash flows. As of
December 31, 2001, we had no interest rate caps or swaps. See "Item 7:
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources -- Capital Resources -- Market
Capitalization."
The table below summarizes the market risks associated with our fixed and variable rated debt outstanding before unamortized debt premiums of $6.8 million as of December 31, 2001:
EXPECTED MATURITY DATE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 THEREAFTER DEBT ------- -------- ------- -------- -------- ---------- ---------- Fixed rate debt(1).......... $73,603 $ 89,319 $92,364 $350,029 $186,452 $1,149,166 $1,940,933 Average interest rate....... 8.3% 7.8% 8.0% 7.3% 7.3% 7.5% 7.5% Variable rate debt(2)....... $23,093 $136,053 $20,526 $ 594 $ 7,629 -- $ 187,895 Average interest rate....... 3.5% 2.8% 4.1% 3.5% 3.5% -- 3.0% |
(1) Represents 91.2% of all outstanding debt.
(2) Represents 8.9% of all outstanding debt.
If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased by 10% (or 30 basis points), then the increase in interest expense on the variable rate debt would be $0.6 million annually.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of AMB Property Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AMB Property, L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These consolidated financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Operating Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AMB Property, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule III, Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
1. ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of its initial public offering on November 26, 1997. The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1997, and believes its current organization and method of operation will enable it to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust. The Company, through its controlling interest in its subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), is engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management, renovation, expansion, and development of industrial buildings primarily in eight hub markets and gateway cities. Unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company" means AMB Property Corporation, the Operating Partnership, and its other controlled subsidiaries and the "Operating Partnership" means AMB Property, L.P. and its other controlled subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2001, the Company owned an approximate 94.4% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership, excluding preferred units. The remaining 5.6% limited partner interest is owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the Company. For local law purposes, certain properties are owned through limited partnerships and limited liability companies. The ownership of such properties through such entities does not materially affect the Operating Partnership's overall ownership interests in the properties. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full, exclusive, and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. Net operating results of the Operating Partnership are allocated after preferred unit distributions based on the respective partners' ownership interests.
The Operating Partnership enters into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. See note 10. These co-investment joint ventures provide the Operating Partnership with an additional source of capital to fund certain acquisitions and development and renovation projects. As of December 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership had investments in five co-investment joint ventures, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.
AMB Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("AMB Capital Partners"), the predecessor-in-interest to AMB Investment Management, Inc. ("AMB Investment Management"), provides real estate investment services to clients on a fee basis. Headlands Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, conducts a variety of businesses that include incremental income programs, such as the Operating Partnership's CustomerAssist Program and development projects available for sale to third parties. On December 31, 2001, AMB Investment Management was reorganized through a series of related transactions into AMB Capital Partners. The Operating Partnership is the managing member of AMB Capital Partners. On May 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership acquired 100% of the common stock of AMB Investment Management and Headlands Realty Corporation from current and former executive officers of the Company, a former executive officer of AMB Investment Management, and a director of Headlands Realty Corporation, thereby acquiring 100% of both entities' capital stock. The Operating Partnership began consolidating its investments in AMB Investment Management and Headlands Realty Corporation on May 31, 2001. Prior to May 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership reflected its investment using the equity method. The impact of consolidating AMB Investment Management and Headlands Realty Corporation was not material.
As of December 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership owned 905 industrial buildings and seven retail centers, located in 26 markets throughout the United States (unaudited). The Operating Partnership's strategy is to become a leading provider of High Throughput Distribution, or HTD, properties in supply- constrained, in fill submarkets located near key international passenger and cargo airports, highway systems, and sea ports in major metropolitan areas, such as Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Northern New Jersey/New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, Southern California, Miami, and Seattle. As of
AMB PROPERTY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2001, the industrial buildings, principally warehouse distribution buildings, encompassed approximately 81.6 million rentable square feet and were 94.5% leased to over 2,900 customers (unaudited). As of December 31, 2001, the retail centers, principally grocer-anchored community shopping centers, encompassed approximately 1.3 million rentable square feet and were 89.3% leased to more than 160 customers (unaudited).
As of December 31, 2001, through AMB Capital Partners, the Operating
Partnership also managed industrial buildings and retail centers, totaling
approximately 2.7 million rentable square feet on behalf of various clients
(unaudited). In addition, the Operating
Partnership has invested in industrial buildings, totaling approximately 4.9
million rentable square feet, through unconsolidated joint ventures (unaudited).
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Operating Partnership, its wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiaries, and joint ventures (the "Joint Ventures"), in which the Operating Partnership has a controlling interest. Third-party equity interests in the Operating Partnership and the Joint Ventures are reflected as minority interests in the consolidated financial statements. The Operating Partnership also has three non-controlling limited partnership interests in three separate unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, which are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated.
Investments in Real Estate. Investments in real estate are stated at cost unless circumstances indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value. Carrying values for financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future economics and market conditions and the availability of capital. If impairment analysis assumptions change, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the Operating Partnership's long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which the assumptions change. To the extent that a property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to income and is included with gains from disposition of real estate, net on the consolidated statements of operations. The Operating Partnership evaluated its properties held for divestiture and operating properties for impairment and reduced their carrying value by $18.6 million and $5.9 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The management of the Operating Partnership believes that there are no additional impairments of the carrying values of its investments in real estate at December 31, 2001.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the real estate investments. The estimated lives and components of depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, are as follows (dollars in thousands):
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSES ESTIMATED LIVES 2001 2000 1999 -------------------------------------- ------------------------- -------- ------- ------- Building costs.................... 40 $ 73,462 $62,097 $54,198 Buildings and improvements: Roof/HVAC/parking lots.......... 10 3,836 2,404 1,106 Plumbing/signage................ 7 805 484 144 Painting and other.............. 5 7,664 6,345 2,546 Tenant improvements...............

Various 2,031 1,222 1,048 -------- ------- ------- Total depreciation and amortization............... $111,414 $90,358 $67,035 ======== ======= ======= |
The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of the property or interest in property, including legal fees and acquisition costs. Project costs directly associated with the development and construction of a real estate project, which include interest and property taxes, are capitalized as construction in progress. Capitalized interest related to construction projects for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, was $13.7 million, $15.5 million, and $10.9 million, respectively.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Maintenance expenditures include planned major maintenance activities such as painting, paving, HVAC, and roofing repair costs. The Operating Partnership expenses costs as incurred and does not accrue in advance of planned major maintenance activities. Significant renovations or betterments that extend the economic useful life of assets are capitalized.
Reverse Exchanges. Reverse exchanges represent loan agreements with third
parties, whereby the Operating Partnership loans substantially all funds to the
third party to acquire a real estate investment that we intend to acquire in a
Section 1031 exchange. The loan is secured by the real estate investment and
title is held by the third party. Upon acquisition of the property by the third
party, the Operating Partnership records the asset as an investment in real
estate and records the rental income and expenses associated with the property
as the Operating Partnership retains the risk of loss and the benefits of the
asset. At December 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership had one property in a
reverse exchange valued at $10.9 million.
Concentration of Credit Risk. Other real estate companies compete with the Operating Partnership in its real estate markets. This results in competition for customers to occupy space. The existence of competing properties could have a material impact on the Operating Partnership's ability to lease space and on the amount of rent received. As of December 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership did not have any single tenant that accounted for greater than 1.3% of rental revenues.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in financial institutions and other highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Restricted Cash. Restricted cash includes cash held in escrow in connection with property purchases, exchange funds, and capital improvements.
AMB PROPERTY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable includes all current accounts receivable, other accruals, and deferred rent receivable of $37.9 million and $28.0 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Deferred Financing Costs. Costs incurred in connection with financings are capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the effective-interest method over the term of the related loan. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, deferred financing costs were $17.5 million and $10.7 million, respectively, net of accumulated amortization of $8.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Such amounts are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Investments in Other Companies. Investments in other companies were accounted for on a cost basis and realized gains and losses were included in current earnings. For its investments in private companies, the Operating Partnership periodically reviewed its investments and management determined if the value of such investments had been permanently impaired. During 2001, the Operating Partnership recognized losses on its investments in other companies totaling $20.8 million, including its investment in Webvan Group, Inc. The Operating Partnership had previously recognized gains and losses on its investment in Webvan Group, Inc. as a component of other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership had realized a loss on 100% of its investments in other companies.
Debt Premiums. Debt premiums represent the excess of the fair value of debt over the principal value of debt assumed in connection with the Operating Partnership's initial public offering and subsequent acquisitions. The debt premiums are being amortized into interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the net unamortized debt premium was $6.8 million and $9.9 million, respectively, and are included as a component of secured debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Rental Revenues. The Operating Partnership, as a lessor, retains substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of the properties and accounts for its leases as operating leases. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. Reimbursements from customers for real estate taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. Differences between estimated and actual amounts are recognized in the subsequent year. In addition, the Operating Partnership nets its bad debt expense against rental income for financial reporting purposes.
Investment Management Income. Investment management income consists primarily of asset management fees and acquisition and disposition fees earned by AMB Capital Partners from joint ventures and clients. Investment management income also includes priority distributions from the Operating Partnership's co-investment joint ventures of $2.3 million in 2001.
Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income consists primarily of interest income from mortgages receivable and on cash and cash equivalents.
Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income consists of net income and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in equity securities and is presented in the consolidated statements of partners' capital.
Derivatives. The Operating Partnership adopted FASB Statement No. 133 on derivatives on January 1, 2001. The adoption did not impact its financial position or results of operations as the Operating Partnership does not utilize derivative instruments in its operations. FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by Statement No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement, as amended, requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.

Institutional Alliance REIT II, Inc. ("Alliance REIT II") and the Alliance Fund
II. As of December 31, 2001, the outstanding balance was $123.5 million and the
remaining amount available was $26.5 million. The credit facility has various
financial and non-financial covenants. Management believes that the Operating
Partnership was in material compliance with these covenants at December 31,

The Series I Preferred Units are exchangeable, at specified times and subject to certain conditions, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of the Company's Series I Preferred Stock. AMB Property II used the net proceeds of $24.9 million to repay advances from the Operating Partnership and to make a loan to the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership used the funds to partially repay borrowings under its unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The loan bears interest at 8.0% per annum and is payable on demand.
During 2001, the Operating Partnership redeemed 223,092 and 635,798 common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership for cash and shares of the Company's common stock, respectively. Holders of common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership have the right, commencing generally on or after the first anniversary of the holder becoming a limited partner of the Operating Partnership (or such other date agreed to by the Operating Partnership and the applicable unit holders), to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their common units for cash (based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock at the time of redemption) or the Operating Partnership may, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limits on ownership and transfer of common stock set forth in the Company's charter) elect to have the Company exchange those common units for shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of certain rights, certain extraordinary distributions and similar events. The Operating Partnership presently anticipates that it will generally elect to have the Company issue shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for common units in connection with a redemption request; however, the Operating Partnership has paid cash, and may in the future pay cash, for a redemption of common units. With each redemption or exchange, the Company's percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. Common limited partners may exercise this redemption right from time to time, in whole or in part, subject to the limitations that limited partners may not exercise the right set forth in the Company's charter if

such exercise would result in any person actually or constructively owning shares of common stock in excess of the ownership limit or any other amount specified by the board of directors, assuming common stock was issued in the exchange.
The Company's board of directors approved a stock repurchase program in 1999 for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million worth of common stock. During 2001, the Company repurchased 1,392,600 shares of its common stock at an average purchase price of $23.62 per share under this program. Through December 31, 2001, the Company has repurchased 2,836,200 shares of its common stock at an average purchase price of $21.22 per share and the Operating Partnership retired the same number of common general partnership units. During 2000, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. The Company's stock repurchase program expired in December 2001. The Company's board of directors approved a new stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million worth of common stock. The new stock repurchase program expires in December 2003 and no repurchases were made under the new program in 2001.

13. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN, 401(K) PLAN, AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
Stock Incentive Plan. In November 1997, the Company established a Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan") for the purpose of attracting and retaining eligible officers, directors, and employees. The Company has reserved for issuance 8,950,000 shares of Common Stock under the Stock Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had 7,437,219 non-qualified options outstanding granted to certain directors, officers, and employees. Each option is exchangeable for one share of the Company's Common Stock. The options have a weighted average exercise price of $22.16 and the exercise prices range from $18.94 to $26.53. Each option's exercise price is equal to the Company's market price on the date of grant. The options had an original ten-year term and generally vest pro rata in annual installments over a three- or four-year period from the date of grant.
The Operating Partnership applies APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations in accounting for its Stock Incentive Plan. Opinion 25 measures compensation cost using the intrinsic value based method of accounting. Under this method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Company's Stock Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2001.
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation," the Operating Partnership has not changed the method of accounting for stock options but has provided the additional required
AMB PROPERTY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
disclosures. Had compensation cost for the Operating Partnership's stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Operating Partnership's pro forma net income available to common unitholders would have been reduced by $3.9 million, $2.7 million, and $3.2 million and pro forma basic and diluted earnings per unit would have been reduced to $1.44 and $1.42, and $1.32 and $1.31, and $1.92 and $1.92, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants in 2001, 2000, and 1999: respectively; dividend yields of 6.4%, 6.5%, and 7.2%; expected volatility of 14.9%, 13.3%, and 18.5%; risk-free interest rates of 5.2%, 6.1%, and 5.4%; and expected lives of 10 years for each year.
Following is a summary of the option activity for the years ended December
31 (options in thousands):

In 2001, 2000, and 1999, under the Stock Incentive Plan, the Company issued 238,790, 162,229, and 100,000 restricted shares, respectively, to certain officers of the Company as part of the performance pay program and in connection with employment with the Company. As of December 31, 2001, 2,732 shares of restricted stock have been forfeited. The 547,006 outstanding restricted shares are subject to repurchase rights, which generally lapse over a period from three to five years.
401(k) Plan. In November 1997, the Operating Partnership established a
Section 401(k) Savings/ Retirement Plan (the "401(k) Plan"), which is a
continuation of the 401(k) Plan of the predecessor, to cover eligible employees
of the Operating Partnership and any designated affiliates. During 2001 and
2000, the 401(k) Plan permitted eligible employees of the Operating Partnership
to defer up to 20% of their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations
imposed by the Code. The employees' elective deferrals are immediately vested
and non-forfeitable upon contribution to the 401(k) Plan. During 2001 and 2000,
the Operating Partnership matched the employee contributions to the 401(k) Plan
in an amount equal to 50% of
AMB PROPERTY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
the first 5.5% of annual compensation deferred by each employee. The Operating Partnership may also make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) Plan. In 2001 and 2000, the Operating Partnership paid $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for its 401(k) match.
Deferred Compensation Plan. Effective September 1, 1999, the Operating Partnership established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for officers of the Company and certain of its affiliates. As of January 1, 2002, the plan enables participants to defer income up to 100% of annual base pay and up to 100% of annual bonuses on a pre-tax basis. The Operating Partnership may make discretionary matching contributions to participant accounts at any time. The Operating Partnership made no such discretionary matching contributions in 2001, 2000, or 1999. The participant's elective deferrals and any matching contributions are immediately 100% vested. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the total amount of compensation deferred was $1.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
14. INCOME PER UNIT
The Operating Partnership's only dilutive securities outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 were stock options and restricted stock granted by the Company under its stock incentive plan. The effect on income per unit was to increase weighted average units outstanding. Such dilution was computed using the treasury stock method.
2001 2000 1999 ---------- ---------- ---------- WEIGHTED AVERAGE COMMON UNITS Basic.......................................... 89,286,379 89,566,375 90,792,310 Stock options and restricted stock............. 1,039,422 458,136 75,624 ---------- ---------- ---------- Diluted..................................... 90,325,801 90,024,511 90,867,934 ========== ========== ========== |
15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
COMMITMENTS
Lease Commitments. The Operating Partnership has entered into operating ground leases on certain land parcels with periods up to 40 years and a lease on a building in New York City. Future minimum rental payments required under non-cancelable operating leases in effect as of December 31, 2001, were as follows (dollars in thousands):
2002........................................................ $ 6,823 2003........................................................ 7,720 2004........................................................ 7,921 2005........................................................ 8,159 2006........................................................ 8,480 Thereafter.................................................. 146,335 -------- Total lease commitments................................... $185,438 ======== |
These operating lease payments are being amortized ratably over the terms of the related leases.
CONTINGENCIES
Litigation. In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Operating Partnership may be involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of its properties. In management's opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a material
AMB PROPERTY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Operating Partnership.
Environmental Matters. The Operating Partnership monitors its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The Operating Partnership is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material adverse effect on the Operating Partnership's business, assets, or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that such a material environmental liability does not exist. The existence of any such material environmental liability would have an adverse effect on the Operating Partnership's results of operations and cash flow.
General Uninsured Losses. The Operating Partnership carries property and rental loss, liability, flood, and environmental insurance. The Operating Partnership believes that the policy terms and conditions, limits, and deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage, and industry practice. In addition, certain of the Operating Partnership's properties are located in areas that are subject to earthquake activity; therefore, the Operating Partnership has obtained limited earthquake insurance on those properties. There are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured loss occur, the Operating Partnership could lose its investment in, and anticipated profits and cash flows from, a property.
Captive Insurance Company. The Operating Partnership has responded to recent trends towards increasing costs and decreasing coverage availability in the insurance markets by obtaining higher-deductible property insurance from third party insurers and by forming a wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd. ("Arcata") in December 2001. Arcata will generally provide insurance coverage for losses below the increased deductible under the third party policies. Premiums paid to Arcata have a retrospective component, so that if expenses, including losses, are less than premiums collected, the excess will be returned to the property owners (and, in turn, as appropriate, to the customers) and conversely, if expenses, including losses, are greater than premiums collected, an additional premium, not in excess of the difference, will be charged. Through this structure, The Operating Partnership believes that it will be able to obtain insurance for its portfolio with more comprehensive coverage at a projected overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.

17. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Operating Partnership operates industrial and retail properties nationwide and manages its business both by property type and by market. Industrial properties consist primarily of warehouse distribution facilities suitable for single or multiple customers and are typically comprised of multiple buildings that are leased to customers engaged in various types of businesses. As of December 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership operated industrial properties in eight hub and gateway markets in addition to 18 other markets nationwide. As of December 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership operated retail properties in Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, the San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, and Baltimore. The Operating Partnership does not separately report its retail operations by market. Retail properties are generally leased to one or more anchor customers, such as grocery and drug stores, and various retail businesses. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Operating Partnership evaluates performance based upon property net operating income of the combined properties in each segment. The
AMB PROPERTY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Operating Partnership's geographic markets for industrial properties are managed separately because each market requires different operating, pricing, and leasing strategies.
During the first quarter of 2001, the Operating Partnership split its industrial segment into geographic hub and gateway markets and other markets. Within the hub and gateway market categorization, the Operating Partnership operates in eight major U.S. markets. The other industrial markets category captures all of the Operating Partnership's other smaller markets nationwide. The 2000 and 1999 rental revenue and net operating income disclosure below has been restated to reflect this change.

18. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June and August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, and 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Under FASB Statement No. 143, the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation must be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. FASB Statement No. 144 retains FASB Statement No. 121's, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, fundamental provisions for the: (1) recognition and measurement of impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used; and (2) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The Operating Partnership does not believe that either FASB Statement No. 143 or No. 144 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. FASB Statement No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, and FASB Statement No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 141, Business Combinations, and 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under FASB Statement No. 141, business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, must use the purchase method of accounting. The pooling of interest method of accounting is prohibited. Under FASB Statement No. 142, intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal right or are separable from the acquired entity and can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, regardless of the acquirer's intent to do so. The Operating Partnership does not believe that either FASB Statement No. 141 or No. 142 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. FASB Statement No. 141 was effective for business combinations initiated after July 1, 2001, and FASB Statement No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.

Stock Option Agreement, which shall be executed by the Optionee and an
authorized officer of the Company and which shall contain such terms and
conditions as the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to
Independent Directors) shall determine, consistent with this Plan. Stock Option
Agreements evidencing Options intended to qualify as performance-based
compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall contain such

Section 162(m) of the Code. Stock Option Agreements evidencing Incentive Stock
Options shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to meet the
applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code.
4.2. Option Price. The price per share of the shares subject to each Option shall be set by the Committee; provided, however, that (i) in the case of Incentive Stock Options such price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted (or the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code); (ii) in the case of Incentive Stock Options granted to an
individual then owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more
than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any Subsidiary or parent corporation thereof (within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code), such price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted (or
the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section
424(h) of the Code); (iii) in the case of Options granted to Independent
Directors, such price shall equal 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of
Common Stock on the date the Option is granted; provided, however, that the
price of each share subject to each Option granted to Initial Independent
Directors pursuant to Section 3.4(d) hereof shall equal the initial public
offering price per share of Common Stock; and (iv) in the case of all other
Options granted, such price shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value
of a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall not have
the authority to amend the terms of any outstanding Option to reduce its
exercise price.
4.3. Option Term. The term of an Option shall be set by the Committee in its discretion; provided, however, that, (i) no Option shall be granted with a term of more than ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted, (ii) in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors, the term shall be ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted, and (iii) in the case of Incentive Stock Options, the term shall not be more than five (5) years from the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted, if the Incentive Stock Option is granted to an individual then owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary or parent corporation thereof (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code). Except as limited by requirements of Section 422 of the Code and regulations and rulings thereunder applicable to Incentive Stock Options, the Committee may extend the term of any outstanding Option in connection with any Termination of Employment, Termination of Consultancy or Termination of Directorship of the Optionee, or amend any other term or condition of such Option relating to such a termination.
4.4. Option Vesting
(a) The period during which the right to exercise an Option in whole or in part vests in the Optionee shall be set by the Committee and the Committee may determine that an Option may not be exercised in whole or in part for a specified period after it is granted; provided, however, that, unless the Committee otherwise provides in the terms of the Option or otherwise, no Option shall be exercisable by any Optionee who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act within the period ending six months and one day after the date the Option is granted; and provided, further, that, unless the Board otherwise provides in the terms of the Options or otherwise, Options granted to Independent Directors shall become fully exercisable on first anniversary of the date of Option grant, except as provided in Section 10.3(b). At any time after grant of an Option, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion and subject to whatever terms and conditions it selects, accelerate the period during which an Option (except an Option granted to an Independent Director) vests.
(b) No portion of an Option which is unexercisable at Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy, as applicable, shall thereafter become exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the Committee in the case of Options granted to Employees or consultants either in the Stock Option Agreement or by action of the Committee following the grant of the Option.
(c) To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of stock with respect to which "incentive stock options" (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of the Code) are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other incentive stock option plans of the Company and any parent or subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Options to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code. The rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted. For purposes of this Section 4.4(c), the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such stock is granted.
4.5. Consideration. In consideration of the granting of an Option,
the Optionee shall agree, in the written Stock Option Agreement, to remain in
the employ of (or to consult for or to serve as an Independent Director of, as
applicable) the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership
Subsidiary for a period of at least one year (or such shorter period as may be
fixed in the Stock Option Agreement or by action of the Committee following
grant of the Option) after the Option is granted (or, in the case of an
Independent Director, until the next annual meeting of stockholders of the
Company). Nothing in this Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement hereunder shall
(i) confer upon any Optionee any right to (a) continue in the employ of, or as a
consultant for, the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a
Partnership Subsidiary, or as a Director, or (b) receive any severance pay from
the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary

5.1. Partial Exercise. An exercisable Option may be exercised in whole or in part.

The Committee or Board may, in its absolute discretion, also take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to effect such compliance including, without limitation, placing legends on share certificates and issuing stop-transfer notices to agents and registrars;
(c) In the event that the Option shall be exercised pursuant to
Section 10.1 by any person or persons other than the Optionee, appropriate proof

In the case of a promissory note, the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) may also prescribe the form of such note and the security to be given for such note.

5.3. Transfer of Shares to a Company Employee, Consultant or Independent Director. As soon as practicable after receipt by the Company, pursuant to Section 5.2(d), of payment for the shares with respect to which an Option (which in the case of a Company Employee, consultant or Independent Director was issued to and is held by such Optionee in such capacity), or portion thereof, is exercised by an Optionee who is a Company Employee, Independent Director or a consultant to the Company, with respect to each such exercise, the Company shall transfer to the Optionee the number of shares equal to

(b) The price per share of the shares subject to the Option as determined pursuant to Section 4.2.
5.4. Transfer of Shares to a Partnership Employee, Consultant or Independent Director.

(b) As soon as practicable after receipt by the Operating Partnership of a notice of the exercise of shares with respect to which an Option (which was issued to and is held by a Partnership Employee, consultant or Independent Director in such capacity), or portion thereof, is exercised by an Optionee who is a Partnership Employee, Independent Director or consultant, with respect to each such exercise the Company shall sell to the Partnership, or the Partnership Subsidiary in the case of an Optionee who is an Employee, consultant or Independent Director of Partnership Subsidiary, the number of shares (the "Partnership Purchased Shares") equal to the number of shares subject to such exercise by such Optionee at a purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of the exercise (the "Partnership Purchase Price");
(c) As soon as practicable after receipt of the Partnership Purchased Shares by the Partnership, or the Partnership Subsidiary in the case of an Optionee who is an Employee, Independent Director or consultant of a Partnership Subsidiary, the Partnership or the Partnership Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall transfer such shares to the Optionee at no additional cost.
5.5. Transfer of Payment to the Partnership. As soon as practicable after receipt by the Company of the amount described in Section 5.2(d), 5.4(b) and 5.5(b) the Company shall contribute to the Partnership an amount of cash equal to such payment and the Partnership shall issue an additional interest in the Partnership on the terms set forth in the Partnership Agreement.

5.8. Ownership and Transfer Restrictions. The Committee (or Board,
in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors), in its absolute
discretion, may impose such restrictions on the ownership and transferability of
the shares purchasable upon the exercise of an Option as it deems appropriate.

and may be referred to on the certificates evidencing such shares. The Committee

shares of Common Stock acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within
(i) two years from the date of granting (including the date the Option is
modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code) such
Option to such Employee or (ii) one year after the transfer of such shares to
such Employee. The Committee may direct that the certificates evidencing shares
acquired by exercise of an Option refer to such requirement to give prompt
notice of disposition.

(a) the Optionee's or any other person's ownership of capital stock being in violation of the Stock Ownership Limit (as defined in the Company's Articles of Incorporation); or
(b) income to the Company that could impair the Company's status as a real estate investment trust, within the meaning of Sections 856 through 860 of the Code.

(ii) Determine the purchase price, if any, and other terms and conditions (including, without limitation, in the case of awards to Employees, consultants or Independent Directors of the Partnership or any Partnership Subsidiary, the mechanism for the transfer of the Restricted Stock and payment therefor and, in the case of the repurchase of shares of Restricted Stock subject to restrictions in effect at the time of the Termination of Employment, Directorship or Consultancy of such Employee, Director or consultant, as the case may be) applicable to such Restricted Stock, consistent with this Plan.
(b) The Committee shall establish the purchase price, if any, and form of payment for Restricted Stock; provided, however, that such purchase price shall be no less than the par value of the Common Stock to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state law. In all cases, legal consideration shall be required for each issuance of Restricted Stock.
(c) Upon the selection of a key Employee or consultant to be awarded Restricted Stock, the Committee shall instruct the Secretary of the Company to issue such Restricted Stock and may impose such conditions on the issuance of such Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate.
6.3. Restricted Stock Agreement. Restricted Stock shall be issued only pursuant to a written Restricted Stock Agreement, which shall be executed by the selected key Employee or consultant and an authorized officer of the Company and which shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, consistent with this Plan.

As consideration for the issuance of Restricted Stock, in addition to payment of any purchase price, the Restricted Stockholder shall agree, in the written Restricted Stock Agreement, to remain in the employ of, or to consult for, the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary for a period of at least one year after the Restricted Stock is issued (or such shorter period as may be fixed in the Restricted Stock Agreement or by action of the Committee following grant of the Restricted Stock) or, in the case
of a Director, complete the remainder of such Director's elected term. Nothing in this Plan or in any Restricted Stock Agreement hereunder shall (i) confer on any Restricted Stockholder any right to (a) continue in the employ of, as a Director of or as a consultant for, the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary or (b) receive any severance pay from the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary or (ii) interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Employee or consultant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, or any Director pursuant to the Company's bylaws.
6.5. Rights as Stockholders. Subject to Section 6.6, upon delivery of the shares of Restricted Stock to the escrow holder pursuant to Section 6.8, the Restricted Stockholder shall have, unless otherwise provided by the Committee, all the rights of a stockholder with respect to said shares, subject to the restrictions in his Restricted Stock Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the shares; provided, however, that in the discretion of the Committee, any extraordinary distributions with respect to the Common Stock shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6.6.
6.6. Restriction. All shares of Restricted Stock issued under this Plan (including any shares received by holders thereof with respect to shares of Restricted Stock as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization) shall, in the terms of each individual Restricted Stock Agreement, be subject to such restrictions as the Committee shall provide, which restrictions may include, without limitation, restrictions concerning voting rights and transferability and restrictions based on duration of employment with the Company, Company performance and individual performance; provided, however, that, unless the Committee otherwise provides in the terms of the Restricted Stock Agreement or otherwise, no share of Restricted Stock granted to a person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred until at least six months and one day have elapsed from the date on which the Restricted Stock was issued, and provided, further, that, except with respect to shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to Section 6.10, by action taken after the Restricted Stock is issued, the Committee may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, remove any or all of the restrictions imposed by the terms of the Restricted Stock Agreement. Restricted Stock may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or expire. If no consideration was paid by the Restricted Stockholder upon issuance, a Restricted Stockholder's rights in unvested Restricted Stock shall lapse upon a Termination of Employment or, if applicable, upon a Termination of Directorship or a Termination of Consultancy; provided, however, that the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that such rights shall not lapse in the event of a Termination of Employment or Termination of Directorship following a "change of ownership control" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.62-27(e)(2)(v) or any successor regulation thereto) of the Company or because of the Restricted Stockholder's death or disability.
6.7. Repurchase of Restricted Stock. The Committee shall provide in the terms of each individual Restricted Stock Agreement that the Company shall have the right to repurchase from the Restricted Stockholder the Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions under
the Restricted Stock Agreement immediately upon a Termination of Employment or, if applicable, upon a Termination of Directorship or a Termination of Consultancy, at a cash price per share equal to the price paid by the Restricted Stockholder for such Restricted Stock; provided, however, that the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that no such right of repurchase shall exist in the event of a Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy following a "change of ownership or control" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(2)(v) or any successor regulation thereto) of the Company or because of the Restricted Stockholder's death or disability; provided, further, that, except with respect to shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to Section 6.10, the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that no such right of repurchase shall exist in the event of a Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or a Termination of Consultancy without Cause, following any change in control or ownership of the Company, because of the Restricted Stockholder's retirement, or otherwise.
6.8. Escrow. The Secretary of the Company or such other escrow holder as the Committee may appoint shall retain physical custody of each certificate representing Restricted Stock until all of the restrictions imposed under the Restricted Stock Agreement with respect to the shares evidenced by such certificate expire or shall have been removed.
6.9. Legend. In order to enforce the restrictions imposed upon shares of Restricted Stock hereunder, the Committee shall cause a legend or legends to be placed on certificates representing all shares of Restricted Stock that are still subject to restrictions under Restricted Stock Agreements, which legend or legends shall make appropriate reference to the conditions imposed thereby.
6.10. Provisions Applicable to Section 162(m) Participants.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant Restricted Stock to a Section 162(m) Participant the restrictions with respect to which lapse upon the attainment of performance goals for the Company which are related to one or more of the following business criteria: (i) pre-tax income, (ii) operating income, (iii) cash flow, (iv) earnings per share, (v) return on equity, (vi) return on invested capital or assets, (vii) cost reductions or savings, (viii) funds from operations, (ix) appreciation in the fair market value of Common Stock and (x) earnings before any one or more of the following items: interest, taxes, depreciation or amortization.

compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to
Restricted Stock which may be granted to one or more Section 162(m)
Participants, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any
fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal period or period of
service (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of
the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (i) designate one or more Section
162(m) Participants, (ii) select the performance goal or goals applicable to the
fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service, (iii)
establish the various targets and amounts of Restricted Stock which may be
earned for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or
period of service and (iv) specify the relationship between performance goals
and targets and the amounts of Restricted Stock to be earned by each Section
162(m) Participant for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or
period of service. Following the completion of each fiscal year or other
designated fiscal period or period of service, the Committee shall certify in
writing whether the applicable performance targets have been achieved for such
fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service. In
determining the amount earned by a Section 162(m) Participant, the Committee
shall have the right to reduce (but not to increase) the amount payable at a
given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the
Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate
performance for the fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of
service.
ARTICLE VII.
PERFORMANCE AWARDS, DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS,
DEFERRED STOCK, STOCK PAYMENTS
7.1. Eligibility. Subject to the Award Limit, one or more Performance Awards, Dividend Equivalents, awards of Deferred Stock, and/or Stock Payments may be granted to any Employee whom the Committee determines is a key Employee or any consultant or Independent Director whom the Committee determines should receive such an award.
7.2. Performance Awards. Any key Employee, consultant or Independent Director selected by the Committee may be granted one or more Performance Awards. The value of such Performance Awards may be linked to the market value, book value, net profits or other measure of the value of Common Stock or other specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Committee, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Committee, or may be based upon the appreciation in the market value, book value, net profits or other measure of the value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock over a fixed period or periods determined by the Committee. In making such determinations, the Committee shall consider (among such other factors as it deems relevant in light of the specific type of award) the contributions, responsibilities and other compensation of the particular key Employee or consultant.
7.3. Dividend Equivalents. Any key Employee, consultant or Independent Director selected by the Committee may be granted Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period between the date an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Deferred Stock or Performance Award is granted, and the date such Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Deferred Stock or Performance Award is exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the Committee. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional shares of Common Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Committee. With respect to Dividend Equivalents granted with respect to Options intended to be qualified performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, such Dividend Equivalents shall be payable regardless of whether such Option is exercised.
7.4. Stock Payments. Any key Employee, consultant or Independent Director selected by the Committee may receive Stock Payments in the manner determined from time to time by the Committee. The number of shares shall be determined by the Committee and may be based upon the Fair Market Value, book value, net profits or other measure of the value of Common Stock or other specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Committee, determined on the date such Stock Payment is made or on any date thereafter.
7.5. Deferred Stock. Any key Employee, consultant or Independent Director selected by the Committee may be granted an award of Deferred Stock in the manner determined from time to time by the Committee. The number of shares of Deferred Stock shall be determined by the Committee and may be linked to the market value, book value, net profits or other measure of the value of Common Stock or other specific performance criteria determined to be appropriate by the Committee, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Committee. Common Stock underlying a Deferred Stock award will not be issued until the Deferred Stock award has vested, pursuant to a vesting schedule or performance criteria set by the Committee. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a Grantee of Deferred Stock shall have no rights as a Company stockholder with respect to such Deferred Stock until such time as the award has vested and the Common Stock underlying the award has been issued.
7.6. Performance Award Agreement, Dividend Equivalent Agreement, Deferred Stock Agreement, Stock Payment Agreement. Each Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payment shall be evidenced by a written agreement, which shall be executed by the Grantee and an authorized Officer of the Company and which shall contain such terms and conditions (including, without limitation, in the case of awards to Employees, consultants or Independent Directors of the Partnership or any Partnership Subsidiary, the mechanism for the transfer or rights under such awards) as the Committee shall determine, consistent with this Plan.
7.7. Term. The term of a Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payment shall be set by the Committee in its discretion.
7.8. Exercise or Purchase Price. The Committee may establish the exercise or purchase price of a Performance Award, shares of Deferred Stock, or shares received as a Stock Payment; provided, however, that such price shall not be less than the par value for a share of Common Stock, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state law.
7.9. Exercise Upon Termination of Employment. A Performance Award,
Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payment is exercisable
or payable only while the Grantee is an Employee or consultant; provided,
however, that the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that
the Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock and/or Stock
Payment may be exercised or paid subsequent to a Termination of Employment
following a "change of control or ownership" (within the meaning of Section
1.162-27(e)(2)(v) or any successor regulation thereto) of the Company; provided,
further, that except with respect to Performance Awards granted pursuant to
Section 7.12, the
Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that the Performance Awards may be exercised or paid following a Termination of Employment or a Termination of Consultancy without cause, or following a change in control of the Company, or because of the Grantee's retirement, death or disability, or otherwise.
7.10. Payment on Exercise. Payment of the amount determined under
Section 7.1 or 7.2 above shall be in cash, in Common Stock or a combination of
both, as determined by the Committee. To the extent any payment under this
Article VII is effected in Common Stock, it shall be made subject to
satisfaction of all provisions of Section 5.3.
7.11. Consideration. In consideration of the granting of a Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payment, the Grantee shall agree, in a written agreement, to remain in the employ of, or to consult for, the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary for a period of at least one year after such Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payment is granted (or such shorter period as may be fixed in such agreement or by action of the Committee following such grant). Nothing in this Plan or in any agreement hereunder shall (i) confer on any Grantee any right to (a) continue in the employ of, or as a consultant for, the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary or (b) receive any severance pay from the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary or (ii) interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge any Grantee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.
7.12. Provisions Applicable to Section 162(m) Participants.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant any performance or incentive awards described in Article VII to a Section 162(m) Participant that vest or become exercisable or payable upon the attainment of performance goals for the Company which are related to one or more of the following business criteria: (i) pre-tax income, (ii) operating income, (iii) cash flow, (iv) earnings per share, (v) return on equity, (vi) return on invested capital or assets, (vii) cost reductions or savings, (viii) funds from operations, (ix) appreciation in the fair market value of Common Stock and (x) earnings before any one or more of the following items: interest, taxes, depreciation or amortization.

period of service. Following the completion of each fiscal year or other
designated fiscal period or period of service, the Committee shall certify in
writing whether the applicable performance targets have been achieved for such
fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service. In
determining the amount earned by a Section 162(m) Participant, the Committee
shall have the right to reduce (but not to increase) the amount payable at a
given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the
Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate
performance for the fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of
service.
ARTICLE VIII.
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
8.1. Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to any key Employee or consultant selected by the Committee. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted (i) in connection and simultaneously with the grant of an Option, (ii) with respect to a previously granted Option, or (iii) independent of an Option. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the mechanism for the transfer of rights under such awards) not inconsistent with this Plan as the Committee shall impose and shall be evidenced by a written Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, which shall be executed by the Grantee and an authorized officer of the Company. The Committee, in its discretion, may determine whether a Stock Appreciation Right is to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and Stock Appreciation Right Agreements evidencing Stock Appreciation Rights intended to so qualify shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to meet the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.
8.2. Coupled Stock Appreciation Rights
(a) A Coupled Stock Appreciation Right ("CSAR") shall be related to a particular Option and shall be exercisable only when and to the extent the related Option is exercisable.
(b) A CSAR may be granted to the Grantee for no more than the number of shares subject to the simultaneously or previously granted Option to which it is coupled.
(c) A CSAR shall entitle the Grantee (or other person entitled to exercise the Option pursuant to this Plan) to surrender to the Company unexercised a portion of the Option to which the CSAR relates (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the Option exercise price from the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the CSAR by the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the CSAR shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the Committee may impose.
8.3. Independent Stock Appreciation Rights
(a) An Independent Stock Appreciation Right ("ISAR") shall be
unrelated to any Option and shall have a term set by the Committee. An ISAR
shall be exercisable in such installments as the Committee may determine. An
ISAR shall cover such number of shares of Common Stock as the Committee may
determine; provided, however, that unless the Committee otherwise provides in
the terms of the ISAR or otherwise, no ISAR granted to a person subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exercisable until at least six months
have elapsed from (but excluding) the date on which the Option was granted. The
exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to each ISAR shall be set by
the Committee. An ISAR is exercisable only while the Grantee is an Employee or
consultant; provided that the Committee may determine that the ISAR may be
exercised subsequent to Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship
or Termination of Consultancy without cause, or following a change in control of
the Company, or because of the Grantee's retirement, death or disability, or
otherwise.
(b) An ISAR shall entitle the Grantee (or other person entitled to exercise the ISAR pursuant to this Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the ISAR (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise price per share of the ISAR from the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the ISAR by the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the ISAR shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the Committee may impose.
8.4. Payment and Limitations on Exercise
(a) Payment of the amount determined under Section 8.2(c) and 8.3(b) above shall be in cash, in Common Stock (based on its Fair Market Value as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised) or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee. To the extent such payment is effected in Common Stock it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all provisions of Section 5.3 above pertaining to Options.
(b) Grantees of Stock Appreciation Rights may be required to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Board or Committee.
8.5. Consideration. In consideration of the granting of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Grantee shall agree, in the written Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, to remain in the employ of, or to consult for, the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary for a period of at least one year after the Stock Appreciation Right is granted (or such shorter period as may be fixed in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement or by action of the Committee following grant of the Restricted Stock). Nothing in this Plan or in any Stock Appreciation Right Agreement hereunder shall (i) confer on any Grantee any right to (a) continue in the employ of, or as a consultant for, the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the
Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary or (b) receive any severance pay from the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary or (ii) interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge any Grantee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.

of the Board assuming the functions of the Committee under this Plan) shall
consist solely of two or more Independent Directors appointed by and holding
office at the pleasure of the Board, each of whom is both a "non-employee
director" as defined by Rule 16b-3 and an "outside director" for purposes of

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board, acting by a majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan with respect to Options granted to Independent Directors. Any such grant or award under this Plan need not be the same with respect to each Optionee, Grantee or Restricted Stockholder. Any such interpretations and rules with respect to Incentive Stock Options shall be consistent with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under this Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder, are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

The Committee, the Company and the Company's officers and Directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee or the Board in good faith shall be final and binding upon all Optionees, Grantees, Restricted Stockholders, the Company and all other interested persons. No members of the Committee or Board shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to this Plan, Options, awards of Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments, and all members of the Committee and the Board shall be fully protected by the Company in respect of any such action, determination or interpretation.
9.5. Delegation of Authority to Grant Awards. The Committee may, but need not, delegate from time to time to a committee consisting of one or more members of the Committee or of one or more officers of the Company some or all of the Committee's authority to grant awards under this Plan to eligible recipients; provided, however, that each such recipient must be an individual other than an "officer," "director" or "beneficial owner of more than ten per centum of any class of any equity security" within the meaning of each such term as it is used under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Committee specifies at the time of such delegation of authority and may be rescinded at any time by the Committee.

Options, Restricted Stock awards, Deferred Stock awards, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments under this Plan may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until such rights or awards have been exercised, or the shares underlying such rights or awards have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed. No Option, Restricted Stock award, Deferred Stock award, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent or Stock Payment or interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Optionee, Grantee or Restricted Stockholder or his successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.
During the lifetime of the Optionee or Grantee, only he may exercise an Option or other right or award (or any portion thereof) granted to him under the Plan. After the death of the Optionee or Grantee, any exercisable portion of an Option or other right or award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Stock Option
Agreement or other agreement, be exercised by his personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee's or Grantee's will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.
10.2. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of this Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.2, this Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board or the Committee. However, without approval of the Company's stockholders given within twelve months before or after the action by the Board or the Committee, no action of the Board or the Committee may, except as provided in Section 10.3, increase the limits imposed in Section 2.1 on the maximum number of shares which may be issued under this Plan or increase the Award Limit, and no action of the Board or the Committee may be taken that would otherwise require stockholder approval as a matter of applicable law, regulation or rule. No amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan shall, without the consent of the holder of Options, Restricted Stock awards, Deferred Stock awards, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Options, Restricted Stock awards, Deferred Stock awards, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments theretofore granted or awarded, unless the award itself otherwise expressly so provides. No Options, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of this Plan, and in no event may any Incentive Stock Option be granted under this Plan after the first to occur of the following events:
(a) The expiration of ten years from the date the 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan of AMB Property Corporation and AMB Investment Management, Inc. and their Respective Subsidiaries was adopted by the Board; or
(b) The expiration of ten years from the date the 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan of AMB Property Corporation and AMB Investment Management, Inc. and their Respective Subsidiaries was approved by the Company's stockholders under Section 10.4.
10.3. Changes in Common Stock or Assets of the Company, Acquisition or Liquidation of the Company and Other Corporate Events.
(a) Subject to Section 10.3(d), in the event that the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including, but not limited to, a Corporate Transaction), or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, in the Committee's sole discretion (or in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors, the
Board's sole discretion), affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to an Option, Restricted Stock award, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, Deferred Stock award or Stock Payment, then the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of
(i) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) with respect to which Options, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments may be granted under the Plan, or which may be granted as Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 2.1 on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued and adjustments of the Award Limit),
(ii) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Options, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents, or Stock Payments, and in the number and kind of shares of outstanding Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock, and
(iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent or Stock Payment.
(b) Subject to Section 10.3(d), in the event of any Corporate Transaction or other transaction or event described in Section 10.3(a) or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) in its discretion is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) determines that such action is appropriate or desirable:
(i) In its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) may provide, either by the terms of the agreement or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the optionee's request, for either the purchase of any such Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, or Stock Payment, or any Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such option, right or award or realization of the optionee's rights had such option, right or award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested or the replacement of such option, right or award with other rights or property selected by the Committee (or the Board, in the case of awards granted to Independent Directors) in its sole discretion;
(ii) In its sole and absolute discretion, the Committee (or the Board, in the case of awards granted to Independent Directors) may provide, either by the terms of such Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, or Stock Payment, or Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event that it cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event;
(iii) In its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee (or the Board, in the case of awards granted to Independent Directors) may provide, either by the terms of such Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, or Stock Payment, or Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event, that for a specified period of time prior to such transaction or event, such option, right or award shall be exercisable as to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in (i) Section 4.4 or (ii) the provisions of such Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, or Stock Payment, or Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock;
(iv) In its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee (or the Board, in the case of awards granted to Independent Directors) may provide, either by the terms of such Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, or Stock Payment, or Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event, that upon such event, such option, right or award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;
(v) In its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee (or the Board, in the case of awards granted to Independent Directors) may make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Options, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents, or Stock Payments, and in the number and kind of outstanding Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock and/or in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, outstanding options, rights and awards and options, rights and awards which may be granted in the future; and
(vi) In its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee may provide either by the terms of a Restricted Stock award or Deferred Stock award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such event that, for a specified period of time prior to such event, the restrictions imposed under a Restricted Stock Agreement or a Deferred Stock Agreement upon some or all shares of Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock may be terminated, and, in
the case of Restricted Stock, some or all shares of such Restricted Stock may cease to be subject to repurchase under Section 6.6 or forfeiture under Section 6.5 after such event.
(c) Subject to Section 10.3(d) and 10.8, the Committee (or the Board, in the case of awards granted to Independent Directors) may, in its discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, or Stock Payment, or Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company.
(d) With respect to Options, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, Stock Appreciation Rights and performance or incentive awards described in Article VII which are granted to Section 162(m) Participants and are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C), no adjustment or action described in this Section 10.3 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code or would cause such option or stock appreciation right to fail to so qualify under Section 162(m)(4)(C), as the case may be, or any successor provisions thereto.

The Committee (or the Board, in the case of awards granted to Independent Directors) may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow such Optionee, Grantee or Restricted Stockholder to elect to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock
otherwise issuable under such Option or other award (or allow the return of shares of Common Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld.
10.6. Loans. The Committee may, in its discretion, extend one or more loans to key Employees in connection with the exercise or receipt of an Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent or Stock Payment granted under this Plan, or the issuance of Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock awarded under this Plan.

conditions of Rule 16b-3) to provide, in the terms of Options or other awards
made under the Plan, or to require the recipient to agree by separate written
instrument, that (i) any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or
constructively received by the recipient upon any receipt or exercise of the
award, or upon the receipt or resale of any Common Stock underlying such award,
must be paid to the Company, and (ii) the award shall terminate and any
unexercised portion of such award (whether or not vested) shall be forfeited, if
(a) a Termination of Employment, Termination of Consultancy or Termination of
Directorship occurs prior to a specified date, or within a specified time period
following receipt or exercise of the award, or (b) the recipient at any time, or
during a specified time period, engages in any activity in competition with the
Company, or which is inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the
Company, as further defined by the Committee (or the Board, as applicable).
10.8. Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons and
Performance-Based Compensation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan, this Plan, and any Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right,
Dividend Equivalent or Stock Payment granted, or Restricted Stock or Deferred
Stock awarded, to any individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the
Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any
applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any
amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the
application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Plan, Options, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend
Equivalents, Stock Payments, Restricted Stock and Deferred Stock granted or
awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to
such applicable exemptive rule. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision
of this Plan, any Option, Stock Appreciation Right or performance or incentive

and is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in
Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall be subject to any additional limitations

162(m) of the Code) or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are
requirements for qualification as performance-based compensation as described in
Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and this Plan shall be deemed amended to the
extent necessary to conform to such requirements.
10.9. Effect of Plan Upon Options and Compensation Plans. The adoption of this Plan shall not affect any other compensation or incentive plans in effect for the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company (i) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for Employees, Directors or Consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary or (ii) to grant or assume options or other rights or awards otherwise than under this Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose including but not by way of limitation, the grant or assumption of options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm or association.

Any securities delivered under this Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.

AMB Property Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of State of Maryland (the "Company"), hereby adopts this Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") to the Third Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan of AMB Property Corporation and its Subsidiaries (the "Plan"). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.
WHEREAS, Section 9.2 of the Plan currently provides that the full Board of Directors of the Company, acting by a majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan with respect to Options granted to Independent Directors;
WHEREAS, Section 10.1 of the Plan currently provides that awards under the Plan are not transferable in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; and
WHEREAS, the Company's Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to amend the Plan in certain respects to (i) permit the Committee to modify any outstanding Options granted to Independent Directors and (ii) permit the transferability of awards under the Plan, other than Incentive Stock Options, with the consent of the Committee or by gift to family members of the award holder and entities owned by such family members.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:
1. Section 9.2. Section 9.2 of the Plan is hereby deleted and replaced to read in its entirety as follows:
"9.2. Duties and Powers of Committee. It shall be the duty of the Committee to conduct the general administration of this Plan in accordance with its provisions. The Committee shall have the power to interpret this Plan and the agreements pursuant to which Options, awards of Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments are granted or awarded, and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation, and application of this Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules; provided, however, that only the full Board, acting by a majority of its members in office, shall have the power to grant
Options to Independent Directors. Any such grant or award under this Plan need not be the same with respect to each Optionee, Grantee or Restricted Stockholder. Any such interpretations and rules with respect to Incentive Stock Options shall be consistent with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under this Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder, are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee."
2. Section 10.1. Section 10.1 of the Plan is hereby deleted and replaced to read in its entirety as follows:
"10.1. Not Transferable. Options, Restricted Stock awards, Deferred Stock awards, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments under this Plan may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder (a "QDRO"), unless and until such rights or awards have been exercised, or the shares underlying such rights or awards have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed; provided, however, that Non-Qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock awards, Deferred Stock awards, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents and Stock Payments may be transferred with the consent of the Committee or by gift to a "Family Member" (as defined below), in which case the transferee shall receive and hold the Option or other award so transferred subject to the provisions of this Plan and the agreement governing such Option or other award; provided, further, that a transfer of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, Restricted Stock award, Deferred Stock award, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent or Stock Payment to an entity in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Optionee, Grantee or Restricted Stockholder) in exchange for an interest in that entity shall be considered a gift of such Option or other award. No Option, Restricted Stock award, Deferred Stock award, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent or Stock Payment or interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Optionee, Grantee or Restricted Stockholder or his successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.
For purposes of this Section 10.1, the term "Family Member" shall mean any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Optionee's, Grantee's or Restricted Stockholder's household (other than a tenant or an employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent (50%) of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons
(or the Optionee, Grantee or Restricted Stockholder) control the management of the assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Optionee, Grantee or Restricted Stockholder) own more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests.
During the lifetime of the Optionee or Grantee, only he may exercise an Option or other right or award (or any portion thereof) granted to him under the Plan unless it has been transferred with the consent of the Committee or pursuant to a QDRO or by gift to a Family Member, in which case the transferee may exercise such Option or other award. Unless previously transferred as permitted by this Section 10.1, after the death of the Optionee or Grantee, any exercisable portion of an Option or other right or award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Stock Option Agreement or other agreement, be exercised by his personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee's or Grantee's will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution."
(SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS)
I hereby certify that the foregoing Amendment to the Plan was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of AMB Property Corporation effective as of February 15, 2002.

7
such price shall equal 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted; and (iv) in the case of all other Options granted, such price shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted.

4.4. Option Vesting.
(a) The period during which the right to exercise an Option in whole or in part vests in the Optionee shall be set by the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) and the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) may determine that an Option may not be exercised in whole or in part for a specified period after it is granted; provided, however, that, unless the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) otherwise provides in the terms of the Option or otherwise, no Option shall be exercisable by any Optionee who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act within the period ending six months and one day after the date the Option is granted; and provided, further, that, unless the Board otherwise provides in the terms of the Options or otherwise, Options granted to Independent Directors pursuant to Section 3.4(d) shall become fully exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of Option grant, except as provided in Section 10.3(b).

The rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted. For purposes of this Section 4.4(c), the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such stock is granted.
4.6. Consideration. In consideration of the granting of an Option, the Optionee shall agree, in the written Stock Option Agreement, to remain in the employ of (or to consult for or to serve as an Independent Director of, as applicable) the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary for a period of at least one year (or such shorter period as may be fixed in the Stock Option Agreement or by action of the Committee following grant of the Option) after the Option is granted, or, in the case of an Independent Director, for the remainder of such Independent Directors elected term. Nothing in this Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement hereunder shall (i) confer upon any Optionee any right to (a) continue in the employ of (or to consult for or to serve as an Independent Director of, as applicable) the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership

A Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock or Stock Payment is exercisable or payable only while the Grantee is an Employee, Independent Director or Consultant; provided, however, that the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that the Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock or Stock Payment may be exercised or paid subsequent to a Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy without Cause, following a change in control of the Company, or because of the Grantees retirement, death or disability, or otherwise.
7.10. Payment on Exercise. Payment of the amount determined under Section 7.1 or 7.2 above shall be in cash, in Common Stock or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee. To the extent any payment under this Article VII is effected in Common Stock, it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all provisions of Section 5.3.
7.11. Consideration. In consideration of the granting of a Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock or Stock Payment, the Grantee shall agree, in a written agreement, to remain in the employ of (or to consult for or to serve as an Independent Director of, as applicable) the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary for a period of at least one year (or such shorter period as may be fixed in such agreement or by action of the Committee after such Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payment is granted, or, in the case of an Independent Director, for the remainder of such Independent Directors elected term. Nothing in this Plan or in any agreement hereunder shall (i) confer on any Grantee any right to (a) continue in the employ of (or to consult for or to serve as an Independent Director of, as applicable) the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary, or (b) receive any severance pay from the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary, or (ii) interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Employee or Consultant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, or any Independent Director pursuant to the Companys bylaws.
7.12. Provisions Applicable to Section 162(m) Participants.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant any performance or incentive awards described in Article VII to a Section 162(m) Participant that vest or become exercisable or payable upon the attainment of performance goals for the Company which are related to one or more of the following business criteria: (i) pre-tax income, (ii) operating income, (iii) cash flow, (iv) earnings per share, (v) return on equity, (vi) return on invested capital or assets, (vii) cost reductions or savings, (viii) funds from operations, (ix) appreciation in the fair market value of Common Stock and (x) earnings before any one or more of the following items: interest, taxes, depreciation or amortization.
(b) To the extent necessary to comply with the performance-based compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to performance or incentive awards described in Article VII which may be granted to one or more Section 162(m) Participants, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal period or period of service (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (i) designate one or more Section 162(m) Participants, (ii) select the performance goal or goals applicable to the fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service, (iii) establish the various targets and bonus amounts which may be earned for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service and (iv) specify the relationship between performance goals and targets and the amounts to be earned by each Section 162(m) Participant for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service. Following the completion of
15
each fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable performance targets have been achieved for such fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service. In determining the amount earned by a Section 162(m) Participant, the Committee shall have the right to reduce (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the fiscal year or other designated fiscal period or period of service.
ARTICLE VIII.
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
8.1. Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to any Employee, Independent Director or Consultant selected by the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights granted to Independent Directors). A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted (i) in connection and simultaneously with the grant of an Option, (ii) with respect to a previously granted Option, or (iii) independent of an Option. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the mechanism for the transfer of rights under such awards) not inconsistent with this Plan as the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights granted to Independent Directors) shall impose and shall be evidenced by a written Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, which shall be executed by the Grantee and an authorized officer of the Company. The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine whether a Stock Appreciation Right is to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and Stock Appreciation Right Agreements evidencing Stock Appreciation Rights intended to so qualify shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to meet the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.
8.2. Coupled Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) A Coupled Stock Appreciation Right (CSAR) shall be related to a particular Option and shall be exercisable only when and to the extent the related Option is exercisable.
(b) A CSAR may be granted to the Grantee for no more than the number of shares subject to the simultaneously or previously granted Option to which it is coupled.
(c) A CSAR shall entitle the Grantee (or other person entitled to exercise the Option pursuant to this Plan) to surrender to the Company unexercised a portion of the Option to which the CSAR relates (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the Option exercise price from the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the CSAR by the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the CSAR shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights granted to Independent Directors) may impose.
8.3. Independent Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) An Independent Stock Appreciation Right (ISAR) shall be unrelated to any Option and shall have a term set by the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights granted to Independent Directors). An ISAR shall be exercisable in such installments as the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights granted to Independent Directors) may determine. An ISAR shall cover such number of shares of Common Stock as the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights granted to Independent Directors) may determine; provided, however, that unless the Committee otherwise provides in the terms of the ISAR or otherwise, no ISAR granted to a person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exercisable until at least six months have elapsed from (but excluding) the date on which the Option was granted. The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to each ISAR shall be set by the Committee (or the Board, in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights granted to Independent Directors). An ISAR is exercisable only while the Grantee is an Employee, Director or Consultant; provided that the Committee may determine that the ISAR may be exercised subsequent to a Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy
16
without Cause, following a change in control of the Company, or because of the Grantees retirement, death or disability, or otherwise.
(b) An ISAR shall entitle the Grantee (or other person entitled to exercise the ISAR pursuant to this Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the ISAR (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise price per share of the ISAR from the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the ISAR by the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the ISAR shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the Committee may impose.
8.4. Payment and Limitations on Exercise.
(a) Payment of the amount determined under Section 8.2(c) and 8.3(b) above shall be in cash, in Common Stock (based on its Fair Market Value as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised) or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee. To the extent such payment is effected in Common Stock it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all provisions of Section 5.3 above pertaining to Options.
(b) Grantees of Stock Appreciation Rights may be required to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Committee.
8.5. Consideration. In consideration of the granting of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Grantee shall agree, in the written Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, to remain in the employ of (or to consult for or to serve as an Independent Director of, as applicable) the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary for a period of at least one year (or such shorter period as may be fixed in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement or by action of the Committee after the Stock Appreciation Right is granted) following grant of the Stock Appreciation Right, or, in the case of an Independent Director, for the remainder of such Independent Directors elected term. Nothing in this Plan or in any Stock Appreciation Right Agreement hereunder shall (i) confer upon any Employee, Independent Director or Consultant any right to (a) continue in the employ of (or to consult for or to serve as an Independent Director of, as applicable) the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary, or (b) receive any severance pay from the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary, or (ii) interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, a Company Subsidiary, the Partnership or a Partnership Subsidiary, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Employee or Consultant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, or any Independent Director pursuant to the Companys bylaws.
ARTICLE IX.

The Compensation Committee (or another committee or a subcommittee of the Board assuming the functions of the Committee under this Plan) shall consist solely of two or more Independent Directors appointed by and holding office at the pleasure of the Board, each of whom is both a non-employee director as defined by Rule 16b-3 and an outside director for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. Appointment of Committee members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment. Committee members may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board. Vacancies in the Committee may be filled by the Board.
9.2. Duties and Powers of Committee. It shall be the duty of the Committee to conduct the general administration of this Plan in accordance with its provisions.

Any such grant or award under this Plan need not be the same with respect to each Optionee, Grantee or Restricted
17
Stockholder. Any such interpretations and rules with respect to Incentive Stock Options shall be consistent with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. In its sole and absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under this Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder, are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.
9.3. Majority Rule; Unanimous Written Consent. The Committee shall act by a majority of its members in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present or by a memorandum or other written instrument signed by all members of the Committee.
9.4. Compensation; Professional Assistance; Good Faith Actions. Members of the Committee shall receive such compensation, if any, for their services as members as may be determined by the Board. All expenses and liabilities which members of the Committee incur in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be borne by the Company. The Committee may, with the approval of the Board, employ attorneys, Consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers, or other persons. The Committee, the Company and the Companys officers and Directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee or the Board in good faith shall be final and binding upon all Optionees, Grantees, Restricted Stockholders, the Company and all other interested persons. No members of the Committee or Board shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to this Plan, Options, awards of Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments, and all members of the Committee and the Board shall be fully protected by the Company in respect of any such action, determination or interpretation.
9.5. Delegation of Authority to Grant Awards. The Committee may, but need not, delegate from time to time to a committee consisting of one or more members of the Committee or of one or more officers of the Company some or all of the Committees authority to grant awards under this Plan to eligible recipients; provided, however, that each such recipient must be an individual other than an officer, director or beneficial owner of more than ten per centum of any class of any equity security within the meaning of each such term as it is used under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Committee specifies at the time of such delegation of authority and may be rescinded at any time by the Committee. At all times, any committee appointed under this Section 9.5 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Committee.
ARTICLE X.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
10.1. Not Transferable. Options, Restricted Stock awards, Deferred Stock awards, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments under this Plan may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a QDRO, unless and until such rights or awards have been exercised, or the shares underlying such rights or awards have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed; provided, however, that Non-Qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock awards, Deferred Stock awards, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents and Stock Payments may be transferred with the consent of the Committee or by gift to a Family Member, in which case the transferee shall receive and hold the Option or other award so transferred subject to the provisions of this Plan and the agreement governing such Option or other award; provided, further, that a transfer of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, Restricted Stock award, Deferred Stock award, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent or Stock Payment or interest or right therein to an entity in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Optionee, Grantee or Restricted Stockholder) in exchange for an interest in that entity shall be considered a gift of such Option or other award. No Option, Restricted Stock award, Deferred Stock award, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent or Stock Payment or interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Optionee, Grantee or Restricted Stockholder or his successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means
18
whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.
During the lifetime of the Optionee or Grantee, only he may exercise an Option or other right or award (or any portion thereof) granted to him under the Plan, unless it has been transferred with the consent of the Committee or pursuant to a QDRO or by gift to a Family Member, in which case the transferee may exercise such Option or other award. Unless previously transferred as permitted by this Section 10.1, after the death of the Optionee or Grantee, any exercisable portion of an Option or other right or award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Stock Option Agreement or other agreement, be exercised by his personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionees or Grantees will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.
10.2. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of this Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.2, this Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board or the Committee. However, without approval of the Companys stockholders given within twelve months before or after the action by the Board or the Committee, no action of the Board or the Committee may, except as provided in Section 10.3, increase the limits imposed in Section 2.1 on the maximum number of shares which may be issued under this Plan or increase the Award Limit, and no action of the Board or the Committee may be taken that would otherwise require stockholder approval as a matter of applicable law, regulation or rule. No amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan shall, without the consent of the holder of Options, Restricted Stock awards, Deferred Stock awards, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Options, Restricted Stock awards, Deferred Stock awards, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments theretofore granted or awarded, unless the award itself otherwise expressly so provides. No Options, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of this Plan, and in no event may any Incentive Stock Option be granted under this Plan after the first to occur of the following events:
(a) The expiration of ten years from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board; or
(b) The expiration of ten years from the date the Plan is approved by the Companys stockholders under Section 10.4.
10.3. Changes in Common Stock or Assets of the Company, Acquisition or Liquidation of the Company and Other Corporate Events.
(a) Subject to Section 10.3(d), in the event that the Committee determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including, but not limited to, a Corporate Transaction), or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, in the Committees sole and absolute discretion, affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to an Option, Restricted Stock award, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, Deferred Stock award or Stock Payment, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of
(i) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) with respect to which Options, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments may be granted under the Plan, or which may be granted as Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock |
19
(including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 2.1 on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued and adjustments of the Award Limit); |
(ii) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Options, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents, or Stock Payments, and in the number and kind of shares of outstanding Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock; and |
(iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent or Stock Payment. |
(b) Subject to Section 10.3(e), in the event of any Corporate Transaction or other transaction or event described in Section 10.3(a) which results in shares of Common Stock being exchanged for or converted into cash, securities (including securities of another corporation) or other property, the Committee will have the right to terminate this Plan as of the date of the event or transaction, in which case all Options, rights and other awards granted under this Plan shall become the right to receive such cash, securities or other property, net of any applicable exercise price.
(c) Subject to Section 10.3(e), in the event of any Corporate Transaction or other transaction or event described in Section 10.3(a) or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Committee determines that such action is appropriate or desirable:
(i) In its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee may provide, either by the terms of the agreement or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the optionees request, for either the purchase of any such Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, or Stock Payment, or any Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such option, right or award or realization of the holders rights had such option, right or award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested or the replacement of such option, right or award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion; |
(ii) In its sole and absolute discretion, the Committee may provide, either by the terms of such Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, or Stock Payment, or Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event that it cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event; |
(iii) In its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee may provide, either by the terms of such Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, or Stock Payment, or Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event, that for a specified period of time prior to such transaction or event, such option, right or award shall be exercisable as to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in (i) Section 4.4 or (ii) the provisions of such Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, or Stock Payment, or Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock; |
(iv) In its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee may provide, either by the terms of such Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, or Stock Payment, or Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event, that upon such event, such option, right or award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor |
20
corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; |
(v) In its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee may make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Options, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents, or Stock Payments, and in the number and kind of outstanding Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock and/or in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, outstanding options, rights and awards and options, rights and awards which may be granted in the future; and |
(vi) In its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee may provide either by the terms of a Restricted Stock award or Deferred Stock award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such event that, for a specified period of time prior to such event, the restrictions imposed under a Restricted Stock Agreement or a Deferred Stock Agreement upon some or all shares of Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock may be terminated, and, in the case of Restricted Stock, some or all shares of such Restricted Stock may cease to be subject to repurchase under Section 6.6 or forfeiture under Section 6.5 after such event. |
(d) Subject to Section 10.3(e) and 10.8, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent, or Stock Payment, or Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company.
(e) With respect to Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and performance or incentive awards described in Article VII which are granted to Section 162(m) Participants and are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C), no adjustment or action described in this Section 10.3 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code or would cause such option or stock appreciation right to fail to so qualify under Section 162(m)(4)(C), as the case may be, or any successor provisions thereto. Furthermore, no such adjustment or action shall be authorized to the extent such adjustment or action would result in short-swing profits liability under Section 16 or violate the exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the Committee determines that the option or other award is not to comply with such exemptive conditions. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to any option, right or award shall always be rounded to the next whole number.
10.4. Approval of Plan by Stockholders. This Plan will be submitted for the approval of the Companys stockholders within twelve months after the date of the Boards initial adoption of this Plan. Options, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments may be granted and Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock may be awarded prior to such stockholder approval, provided that such Options, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments shall not be exercisable and such Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock shall not vest prior to the time when this Plan is approved by the stockholders, and provided further that if such approval has not been obtained at the end of said twelve-month period, all Options, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments previously granted and all Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock previously awarded under this Plan shall thereupon be canceled and become null and void.
10.5. Tax Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to require payment in cash or deduction from other compensation payable to each Optionee, Grantee or Restricted Stockholder of any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Option, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent or Stock Payment. The Committee may in its sole and absolute discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow such Optionee, Grantee or Restricted Stockholder to elect to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or becoming vested under such Option or other award (or allow the return of shares of Common Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the statutory minimum sums required to be withheld.
10.6. Loans. The Committee may, in its discretion, extend one or more loans to Employees in connection with the exercise or receipt of an Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend
21
Equivalent or Stock Payment granted under this Plan, or the issuance of Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock awarded under this Plan. The terms and conditions of any such loan shall be set by the Committee; provided, however, that any such loan that bears interest shall bear at least a market rate of interest.
10.7. Forfeiture Provisions. Pursuant to its general authority to determine the terms and conditions applicable to awards under the Plan, the Committee shall have the right (to the extent consistent with the applicable exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3) to provide, in the terms of Options or other awards made under the Plan, or to require the recipient to agree by separate written instrument, that (i) any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the recipient upon any receipt or exercise of the award, or upon the receipt or resale of any Common Stock underlying such award, must be paid to the Company, and (ii) the award shall terminate and any unexercised portion of such award (whether or not vested) shall be forfeited, if (a) a Termination of Employment, Termination of Consultancy or Termination of Directorship occurs prior to a specified date, or within a specified time period following receipt or exercise of the award, or (b) the recipient at any time, or during a specified time period, engages in any activity in competition with the Company, or which is inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company, as further defined by the Committee (or the Board, as applicable).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, this Plan, and any Option, Performance Award, Stock Appreciation Right, Dividend Equivalent or Stock Payment granted, or Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock awarded, to any individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan, Options, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents, Stock Payments, Restricted Stock and Deferred Stock granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any Option, Stock Appreciation Right or performance or incentive award described in Article VII which is granted to a Section 162(m) Participant and is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m) of the Code) or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and this Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.
10.9. Effect of Plan Upon Options and Compensation Plans. The adoption of this Plan shall not affect any other compensation or incentive plans in effect for the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company (i) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for Employees, Directors or Consultants of the Company, the Partnership or any Subsidiary or (ii) to grant or assume options or other rights or awards otherwise than under this Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose including but not by way of limitation, the grant or assumption of options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm or association.

Any securities delivered under this Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem
22
necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan, Options, Restricted Stock awards, Deferred Stock awards, Performance Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalents or Stock Payments granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

DISTRIBUTIONS
7.1 DISTRIBUTION ELECTION.

Such designation shall apply to all amounts distributed from such Participant's Account.
(b) A Participant may modify the election made under
Section 7.1(a) by submitting to the Administrator a completed and executed form
provided for such purpose, provided, however, that such change shall not be
given any effect unless a full calendar year passes between the calendar year
in which such election form is submitted and the calendar year in which the
distribution date designated in such form occurs.
7.2 PAYMENT OPTIONS.
(a) Unless otherwise provided in Section 7.3, benefits shall be payable in accordance with the election made by the Participant in his or her Participation Election Form in one of the following forms:
(i) in a lump-sum payment; or
(ii) in annual installments over a period of four
(4) years; payable in January of each year;
or
(iii) in annual installments over a period of five
(5) years, payable in January of each year;
or
(iv) in annual installments over a period of ten
(10) years, payable in January of each year.
(b) The Company from time to time will determine which payment options will be available under the Education Account, Fixed Date Account and Retirement Account.
7.3 COMMENCEMENT OF PAYMENT.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, payments to a Participant shall commence in the January immediately after the calendar year in which the Participant has satisfied the criteria set forth in the Adoption Agreement for a distribution hereunder.
(b) If the Company has elected this option in the Adoption Agreement, the Administrator may permit an early distribution of part or all of any deferred amounts; provided, however, that such distribution shall be made only if the Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines that the Participant has experienced an "unforeseeable emergency" if early distribution were not permitted. "Unforeseeable emergency" shall mean any severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or a dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code) of the Participant, loss of the Participant's property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseen circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. Any distribution pursuant to this provision is limited to the amount necessary to meet the emergency, and any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from such distribution. The distribution may not exceed the then vested portion of the Participant's Account. The circumstances that will constitute an unforeseeable emergency will depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any case, payment may not be made to the extent that such hardship is or may be relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; (ii) by liquidation of the Participant's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship; or (iii) by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. Furthermore, examples of events that would not be considered unforeseeable emergencies include the need to send a Participant's child to college or the desire to purchase a home.
(c) Upon the death of a Participant, all vested amounts shall be paid in a lump sum, as soon as administratively feasible, to his or her beneficiary or beneficiaries, as determined in accordance with ARTICLE VIII hereof.
(d) Upon a Change of Control as defined in the Adoption Agreement, all vested amounts shall be paid in a lump sum, as soon as administratively feasible, to the Participant.
(e) Upon a determination of a Participant's Total and Permanent Disability, all vested amounts shall be paid in a lump sum, as soon as administratively feasible, to the Participant.
(f) Upon termination of employment for any reason other than attaining
retirement (as defined in the Adoption Agreement), a Change of Control, Total and Permanent Disability or death, all vested amounts shall be paid in a lump sum, as soon as administratively feasible, to the Participant.
7.4 EFFECT OF EARLY DISTRIBUTION. If the Company has so indicated in the Adoption Agreement, if a Participant elects to receive a distribution of vested amounts in his or her Account on a date prior to that established under the Plan, including the Adoption Agreement and the Participant's Participation Election Form, the amount distributed shall equal that percentage (established by the Company in the Adoption Agreement) of the Participant's vested amounts and the balance shall be treated as forfeited by the Participant.
7.5 CHANGES AFFECTING AN EDUCATION ACCOUNT. In the event of the death of the individual whose age is used for purposes of the timing of a distribution from an Education Account, the Education Account associated with the deceased person shall be treated for all purposes as a Retirement Account of the Participant under the Plan.
ARTICLE VIII
BENEFICIARIES
8.1 BENEFICIARIES. Each Participant may from time to time designate one or more persons (who may be any one or more members of such person's family or other persons, administrators, trusts, foundations or other entities) as his or her beneficiary under the Plan. Such designation shall be made on a form prescribed by the Administrator. Each Participant may at any time and from time to time, change any previous beneficiary designation, without notice to or consent of any previously designated beneficiary, by amending his or her previous designation on a form prescribed by the Administrator. If the beneficiary does not survive the Participant (or is otherwise unavailable to receive payment) or if no beneficiary is validly designated, then the amounts payable under this Plan shall be paid to the Participant's surviving spouse, if any, and if no, to his or her surviving issue per stirpes, if any, and, if none, to his or her estate and such person shall be deemed to be a beneficiary hereunder. (For purposes of this ARTICLE, a per stirpes distribution to surviving issue means a distribution to such issue as representatives of the branches of the descendants of such Employee; equal shares are allotted for each living child and for the descendants as a group of each deceased child of the deceased Employee). If more than one person is the beneficiary of a deceased account, each such person shall receive a pro rata share of any death benefit payable unless otherwise designated on the applicable form. If a beneficiary who is receiving benefits dies, all benefits that were payable to such beneficiary shall then be payable to the estate of that beneficiary.
8.2 LOST BENEFICIARY
(a) All Participants and beneficiaries shall have the obligation to keep the Administrator informed of their current address until such time as all benefits due have been paid.
(b) If a Participant or beneficiary cannot be located by the Administrator exercising due diligence, then, in its sole discretion, the Administrator may presume that the Participant or beneficiary is deceased for purposes of the Plan and all unpaid amounts (net of due diligence expenses) owed to the Participant or beneficiary shall be paid accordingly or, if a beneficiary cannot be so located, then such amounts may be forfeited in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof. Any such presumption of death shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.
8.3 INDIVIDUALS DESIGNATED IN CONNECTION WITH EDUCATION ACCOUNTS. In establishing an Education Account, a Participant shall name a specific living person whose age shall trigger distribution of amounts in such Education Account. The distribution shall be made to the Participant, not the person so designated.
8.4 ENFORCEABILITY OF BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS. Any beneficiary designation form is only a generalized, suggested form. At the time of the Participant's death and under the laws of the jurisdiction applicable to the Participant at the time of death, the form may not be considered legally effective to transfer the amounts from the Participant's Account(s) to the beneficiary so designated.
ARTICLE IX
FUNDING
9.1 PROHIBITION AGAINST FUNDING. Should any investment be acquired in connection with the liabilities assumed under this Plan, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Participants and beneficiaries shall not have any right with respect to, or claim against, such assets nor shall any such purchase be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and the Participants, their beneficiaries or any other person. Any such assets (including any amounts deferred by a Participant or contributed by the Company pursuant to ARTICLE IV hereof) shall be and remain a part of the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company, subject to the claims of its general creditors. Each Participant and beneficiary shall be required to look to the provisions of this Plan and to the Company itself for enforcement of any and all benefits due under this Plan, and to the extent any such person acquires a right to receive payment
under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. The Company (or the Trust, if any) shall be designated owner and beneficiary of investments acquired in connection with the Company's obligations under this Plan.
9.2 DEPOSITS IN TRUST. Subject to Section 9.1, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Company may deposit into the Trust any amounts it deems appropriate to pay the benefits under this Plan. The amounts so deposited may include all Compensation Deferrals made pursuant to a Participation Election Form by a Participant, any Company Contributions and any Matching Contributions. Notwithstanding deposit of assets into a Trust, the Company reserves the right at any time and from time to time to pay benefits to Plan Participants or their beneficiaries in whole or in part from sources other than the Trust.
9.3 WITHHOLDING OF EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS. The Administrator is authorized to make any and all necessary arrangements with the Company in order to withhold the Participant's Compensation Deferrals under Section 4.1 hereof from his or her pay. The Administrator shall determine the amount and timing of such withholding.
ARTICLE X
ADMINISTRATION
10.1 PLAN ADMINISTRATION. The Administrator shall have complete control and authority to determine the rights and benefits and all claims arising under the Plan of any Participant, beneficiary, deceased Participant, or other person claiming to have any interest under the Plan. When making a determination or calculation, the Administrator shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by a Participant, a beneficiary, the Company or the Trustee, if applicable. The Administrator shall have the responsibility for complying with any applicable reporting and disclosure requirements of ERISA.
10.2 ADMINISTRATOR.
(a) The Administrator is expressly empowered to limit the amount of Compensation that may be deferred; to deposit amounts into trust in accordance with Section 9.2 hereof and the Adoption Agreement; to interpret the Plan, and to determine all questions arising in the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan; to employ actuaries, accountants, counsel, and other persons it deems necessary in connection with the administration of the Plan; and to take all other necessary and proper actions to fulfill its duties as Administrator.
(b) The Administrator shall not be liable for any actions by it hereunder, unless due to its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or lack of good faith.
10.3 CLAIMS PROCEDURES.
(a) In the event a Participant requests payment hereunder and the Administrator has determined that the Participant is not entitled to all or some portion of such payment, the Administrator shall, within 60 days following receipt of such request from the Participant, provide to the Participant a written statement (a "Claims Notice"), stating the specific reason or reasons for such denial. The Claims Notice shall also refer to the Plan provision on which such denial is based, and, where appropriate, an explanation of what the Participant may do to perfect his or her claim. In addition, the Participant shall be furnished with an explanation of the Plan's claims review procedures.
(b) Any Participant who has been denied a benefit by a decision of the Administrator pursuant to Section 10.3(a) shall be entitled to request that the Administrator give further consideration to his or her claim by filing with the Administrator a request for a hearing, together with a written statement of the reasons why the Participant believes his claim should be paid and any documents pertinent to such consideration. Such materials shall be filed with the Administrator no later than 60 days after receipt by the Participant of the Claims Notice. The Administrator will notify the Participant of the hearing date, time and location, and give the Participant and his or her representative the opportunity to review all documents in the possession of the Administrator that are pertinent to the denial of the Participant's claim. The Participant shall be responsible for all expenses incurred in connection with this review process. A final decision shall be rendered in writing with respect to the claim no later than 60 days following the hearing and shall set forth the reasons for the disposition and specific references to Plan provisions on which the decision is based.
ARTICLE XI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
11.1 NO ASSIGNMENT. Benefits or payments under this Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, garnishment or charge, whether voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to so anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall not be valid, nor shall any such benefit or payment be in any way liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagement or torts of any Participant or beneficiary, or any other person entitled to such benefit or payment pursuant to the terms of this Plan, except to such
extent as may be required by law. If any Participant or beneficiary or any other person entitled to a benefit or payment pursuant to the terms of this Plan becomes bankrupt or attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any benefit or payment under this Plan, in whole or in part, or if any attempt is made to subject any such benefit or payment, in whole or in part, to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the Participant or beneficiary or any other person entitled to any such benefit or payment pursuant to the terms of this Plan, then such benefit or payment, in the discretion of the Administrator, shall cease and terminate with respect to such Participant or beneficiary, or any other such person.
11.2 NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. Participation in this Plan shall not be construed to confer upon any Participant the legal right to be retained in the employ of the Company, or give a Participant or beneficiary, or any other person, any right to any payment whatsoever, except to the extent of the benefits provided for hereunder. Each Participant shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if this Plan had never been adopted.
11.3 INCOMPETENCE. If the Administrator determines that any person to whom a benefit is payable under this Plan is incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability, the Administrator shall have the power to cause the payments becoming due to such person to be made to another for his or her benefit without responsibility of the Administrator or the Company to see to the application of such payments. Any payment made pursuant to such power shall, as to such payment, operate as a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Company, the Administrator and the Trustee.
11.4 IDENTITY. If, at any time, any doubt exists as to the identity of any person entitled to any payment hereunder or the amount or time of such payment, the Administrator shall be entitled to hold such sum until such identity or amount or time is determined or until an order of a court of competent jurisdiction is obtained. The Administrator shall also be entitled to pay such sum into court in accordance with the appropriate rules of law. Any expenses incurred by the Company, the Administrator, and the Trust incident to such proceeding or litigation will be deemed a distribution from the Account pursuant to ARTICLE VII hereof and will be deducted from the balance in the Account of the affected Participant.
11.5 OTHER BENEFITS. The benefits of each Participant or beneficiary hereunder shall be in addition to any benefits paid or payable to or on account of the Participant or beneficiary under any other pension, disability, annuity or retirement plan or policy whatsoever.
11.6 NO LIABILITY. No liability shall attach to or be incurred by the Company, the Trustee or any Administrator under or by reason of the terms, conditions and provisions
contained in this Plan, or for the acts or decisions taken or made thereunder or in connection therewith; and as a condition precedent to the establishment of this Plan or the receipt of benefits thereunder, or both, such liability, if any, is expressly waived and released by each Participant and by any and all persons claiming under or through any Participant or any other person. Such waiver and release shall be conclusively evidenced by any act or participation in or the acceptance of benefits or the making of any election under this Plan.
11.7 EXPENSES. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Adoption Agreement, all expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan, whether incurred by the Company or the Plan, shall be paid by the Company. Any investment-related expenses shall be charged directly to the Account for which such investments were made.
11.8 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the Company shall have the sole authority to modify, amend or terminate this Plan; provided, however, that any modification or termination of this Plan shall not reduce, alter or impair, without the consent of a Participant, a Participant's right to any amounts already credited to his or her Account on the day before the effective date of such modification or termination; provided further, however, that if the Company makes any modification or amendment that is not permitted under the terms of the Adoption Agreement, the Company will no longer be considered to have adopted this Plan. Following such termination, payment of such credited amounts may be made in a single-sum payment if the Company so designates. Any such decision to pay in a single lump sum shall apply to all Participants.
(b) The Company reserves the right to make any modification or amendment to the Plan or the Adoption Agreement that it deems necessary to comply with any requirements of law or to insure favorable tax treatment under the Plan.
11.9 COMPANY DETERMINATIONS. Any determinations, actions or decisions of the Company (including, but not limited to, Plan amendments and Plan termination) shall be made by the board of directors of the Company in accordance with its established procedures or by such other individuals, groups or organizations that have been properly delegated by the board of directors to make such determination or decision.
11.10 CONSTRUCTION. All questions of interpretation, construction or application arising under or concerning the terms of this Plan shall be decided by the Administrator, in its sole and final discretion, whose decision shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons.
