Exhibit 10.1

MATRIA

healthcare

2006 Management Incentive Plan

(MIP)

Corporate Executive Participants

	I.    	 	Purpose
	 
	 	 	The 2006 MIP is designed to provide an incentive for key members of the Matria (Matria or
Company) management team to exceed the 2006 Business Plan and reward those management team
members with deserving performance by sharing a portion of the profits.
	 
	 	 	The goals of the 2006 MIP are:

	 	1.	 	To increase shareholder value.
	 
	 	2.	 	To achieve and exceed the 2006 Business Plan for Consolidated Matria.
	 
	 	3.	 	To achieve and exceed the 2006 Business Plan for each Center, Region, Business
Unit, and Subsidiary of the Company.
	 
	 	4.	 	To reward key individuals for demonstrated performance.
	 
	 	5.	 	To enhance Matria’s ability to attract and retain a highly motivated, superior
management team.

	II.	 	Program Period
	 
	 	 	This program is in effect from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. The program is
subject to adjustment by the MIP Compensation Committee at any time during or after the
program period. In the event of a program adjustment, an addendum will be published to
inform eligible participants.
	 
	III.	 	Participation and Eligibility
	 
	 	 	Participation and eligibility are determined by the MIP Compensation Committee at its sole
discretion. No individual is automatically included in the Matria 2006 MIP. Only those
individuals approved by the Compensation Committee and confirmed in writing are eligible.
Verbal comments or promises to any employee or past practices are not binding on Matria or
any of its subsidiaries in any manner. Employees in a status other than full-time regular
are not eligible for participation in the Matria 2006 MIP.

 

 

	 	 	Terminated Employees: If a participant terminates from the Company, the following
guidelines will be used for all voluntary or involuntary terminations as well as
terminations due to a Reduction in Force:
	 
	 	 	Incentives are only earned by employees in good standing on the date payment is
made. Participants terminating employment prior to the date of payment are not eligible
for any incentive payment.
	 
	 	 	First Time Participants: New management employees hired or promoted into an
eligible position will be able to begin participating in the MIP on the first day of the
first full month in the eligible position. The Base Bonus will be prorated based on the
number of months employed in the eligible position. No incentives will be earned or
paid for new hires beginning employment after September 30, 2006.
	 
	 	 	Existing Participants: Participants who transfer during the period January 1, 2006
through December 31, 2006 from one MIP eligible position to another MIP eligible position,
having either a higher or lower Base Bonus or a different financial performance target, will
begin participating at the new MIP level and/or financial target on the first day of the
first full month in the new position. The participant’s Base Bonus will be prorated for the
months employed in each eligible position.
	 
	 	 	Leave of Absence: Participants who have been on an approved leave of absence for
medical or other reasons for greater than 60 cumulative days during the year will receive a
prorated portion of their earned Base Bonus. The earned Base Bonus for participants on
approved leaves of absence of less than 60 cumulative days will not be prorated based on the
period of approved leave. Participants who have been on an approved leave of absence for
medical or other reasons for greater than 180 cumulative days during the year will not be
eligible to earn any amount of MIP for the year.
	 
	IV.	 	Administration
	 
	 	 	The MIP Compensation Committee will be responsible for the methods of calculation and
administration of the Plan. The Committee will be comprised of the Chairman & CEO;
President & Chief Operating Officer; Sr. Vice President, & CFO; and Sr. Vice President &
Chief Administrative Officer.
	 
	 	 	The MIP Compensation Committee may change the plan from time to time in any respect. All
decisions made by the MIP Compensation Committee relative to the plan are final and binding.
The determination of compliance with the individual objectives established under the plan
for an employee shall be made by the MIP Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.
	 
	V.	 	Incentive Determination and Payment
	 
	 	 	The 2006 MIP provides for the determination of a Base Bonus expressed as a percentage of the
participant’s annual salary in effect at the end of the program period or the end of each
respective period when a participant transfers from one MIP eligible position to another.
	 
	 	 	Participants approved for MIP participation as of January 1, 2006 are eligible for a full
year’s participation not subject to proration. All incentives earned under the MIP will be
measured and paid annually.

 

 

	VI.	 	Method of Calculation
	 
	 	 	Each participant’s incentive will be calculated based on the achievement of financial
targets and individual objectives. The stated financial targets will be specific to the
performance of Consolidated Matria. Two financial targets are established, one for earnings
per share performance and one for net revenue performance of Consolidated Matria. The
individual objectives will be comprised of one or more key operational measures and/or major
milestone outcomes that are specific to the participant’s position and directly influenced
by the participant’s performance. Individual objectives must be approved by Senior
Management.
	 
	 	 	Portions of the participant’s full Base Bonus will be allocated to the earnings per share
component, the net revenue component, and the individual objectives component. A minimum of
85% of the earnings per share target must be achieved before any incentive can be earned for
net revenue performance and/or individual objectives performance. If 85% of the earnings
per share target is not achieved, no MIP amounts can be earned in any component of the MIP.
If 85% of the earnings per share target is achieved, both financial components and the
individual objectives component of the MIP will operate independent of the other, and if the
Base Bonus is not earned in one component, the participant is still eligible to earn the
Base Bonus allocated to the other components.

	 	 	 	EARNINGS PER SHARE PERFORMANCE
	 
	 	 	 	If 100% of the earnings per share target is achieved after the payment of all
Corporate and Division MIP amounts, the participant may earn the Base Bonus
allocated to the earnings per share performance component of the MIP. If
earnings per share is above the earnings per share threshold but below the
earnings per share target, a reduced percentage of the Base Bonus allocated to
earnings per share may be earned. For earnings per share performance below the
threshold, no incentive for this component of the MIP is earned.
	 
	 	 	 	If the earnings per share performance target is exceeded after the payment of
all Corporate and Division MIP amounts, the participant may earn an Excess
Bonus. The Excess Bonus will be expressed as a multiple of the participant’s
earned Base Bonus amount, which includes the portions of the Base Bonus earned
for the net revenue component, earnings per share component, and individual
objectives component. If the earnings per share target is not exceeded, no
Excess Bonus can be earned.
	 
	 	 	 	NET REVENUE PERFORMANCE
	 
	 	 	 	If a minimum of 85% of the earnings per share target is achieved and 100% or
more of the net revenue target is achieved, the participant may earn the Base
Bonus allocated to the net revenue component of the MIP. For net revenue
performance below the target, no incentive for this component of the MIP may be
earned.
	 
	 	 	 	INDIVIDUAL OBJECTIVES PERFORMANCE
	 
	 	 	 	If a minimum of 85% of the earnings per share target is achieved and all of the
individual objectives are achieved, the participant may earn the Base Bonus
amount allocated to the individual objectives component of the MIP. If some,
but not all, of the individual objectives are attained, a partial amount of the
Base Bonus allocated to

 

 

	 	 	 	the individual objectives component may be earned on a
proportionate basis. For example, if two of three individual objectives were achieved, the participant
may earn 2/3 of the Base Bonus amount allocated to individual objectives. If no
individual objectives are attained, no incentive is earned for this component of
the MIP.

	VII.	 	Miscellaneous
	 
	 	 	Nothing in the MIP shall be deemed to constitute a contract for the continuance of
employment of the participants or bring about a change of status of employment. Neither the
action of the Company in establishing this program, nor any provisions hereof, nor any
action taken by the Company shall be construed as giving any employee the right to be
retained in the employ of the Company for any period of time, or to be employed in any
particular position, or at any particular rate of remuneration.
	 
	 	 	Further, nothing contained herein shall in any manner inhibit the day-to-day conduct of the
business of the Company and its subsidiaries, which shall remain within the sole discretion
of management of the Company; nor shall any requirements imposed by management or resulting
from the conduct of the business of the Company constitute an excuse for, or waiver from,
compliance with any goal established under this plan.
	 
	 	 	No persons shall have any right, vested or contingent, or any claim whatsoever, to be
granted any award or receive any payment hereunder, except payments of awards determined and
payable in accordance with the specific provisions hereof or pursuant to a specific and
properly approved agreement regarding the granting or payment of an award to a designated
individual.
	 
	 	 	Neither this program, nor any payments pursuant to this program, shall affect, or have any
application to, any of the Company’s life insurance, disability insurance, sick leave,
vacation, medical or other related benefit plans, whether contributory or non-contributory
on the part of the employee except as may be specifically provided by the terms of the
benefit plan.
	 
	 	 	All payments pursuant to this program are in gross amounts less applicable withholdings.
	 
	 	 	Matria reserves the right to apply a participant’s incentive payment against any outstanding
obligations owing to the Company.exv10w1

to the date in question, the Value of such shares shall be determined by the General Partner acting
in good faith on the basis of such quotations and other information as it considers, in its
reasonable judgment, appropriate. In the event the REIT Shares Amount for such shares includes
rights that a holder of such shares would be entitled to receive, then the Value of such rights
shall be determined by the General Partner acting in good faith on the basis of such quotations and
other information as it considers, in its reasonable judgment, appropriate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the General Partner in its reasonable discretion may use a different “Value” for
purposes of making the determinations under subparagraph (ii) of the definition of “Gross Asset
Value” in connection with the contribution of Property to the Partnership by a third-party,
provided such value shall be based upon the value per REIT Share (or per Partnership Unit)
agreed upon by the General Partner and such third-party for purposes of such contribution.

ARTICLE 3.

PURPOSE

Section 3.1. Purpose and Business

          The purpose and nature of the business to be conducted by the Partnership is (i) to conduct
any business that may be lawfully conducted by a limited partnership organized pursuant to the Act;
provided, however, that such business shall be limited to and conducted in such a manner as to
permit AMB, in its capacity as the indirect owner of 100% of the equity

24

 

interests of the General Partner and as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership,
at all times to be classified as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, unless AMB ceases to
qualify as a REIT for reasons other than the conduct of the business of the Partnership, (ii) to
enter into any partnership, joint venture or other similar arrangement to engage in any of the
foregoing or to own interests in any entity engaged, directly or indirectly, in any of the
foregoing and (iii) to do anything necessary or incidental to the foregoing. In connection with
the foregoing, and without limiting AMB’s right in its sole discretion to cease qualifying as a
REIT, the Partners acknowledge that AMB’s current status as a REIT inures to the benefit of all the
Partners and not solely the General Partner.

Section 3.2. Powers

          The Partnership is empowered to do any and all acts and things necessary, appropriate, proper,
advisable, incidental to or convenient for the furtherance and accomplishment of the purposes and
business described herein and for the protection and benefit of the Partnership, including, without
limitation, full power and authority, directly or through its ownership interest in other entities,
to enter into, perform and carry out contracts of any kind, borrow money and issue evidences of
indebtedness, whether or not secured by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge or other lien, acquire and
develop real property, and manage, lease, sell, transfer and dispose of real property; provided,
however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Partnership shall not
take, or refrain from taking, any action which, in the judgment of AMB, in its sole and absolute
discretion, (i) could adversely affect the ability of AMB, in its capacity as the indirect owner of
100% of the equity interests of the General Partner and as the sole general partner of the
Operating Partnership, to continue to qualify as a REIT, (ii) absent the consent of the General
Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, and except with
respect to the distribution of Available Cash to the Series D Limited Partners and the Series I
Limited Partners in accordance with Sections 17.3 and 22.3, respectively, could subject AMB
to any taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, or (iii) could violate any law or
regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over AMB or its securities,
unless any such action (or inaction) under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) shall have been
specifically consented to by AMB in writing.

Section 3.3. Partnership Only for Purposes Specified

          The Partnership shall be a partnership only for the purposes specified in Section 3.1,
and this Agreement shall not be deemed to create a partnership among the Partners with respect to
any activities whatsoever other than the activities within the purposes of the Partnership as
specified in Section 3.1. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall
have any authority to act for, bind, commit or assume any obligation or responsibility on behalf of
the Partnership, its properties or any other Partner. No Partner, in its capacity as a Partner
under this Agreement, shall be responsible or liable for any indebtedness or obligation of another
Partner, nor shall the Partnership be responsible or liable for any indebtedness or obligation of
any Partner, incurred either before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such
Partner, except as to those responsibilities, liabilities, indebtedness or obligations incurred
pursuant to and as limited by the terms of this Agreement and the Act.

in the case of an individual, the legal capacity, to enter into this Agreement and perform such
Partner’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement to be performed by such Partner will not result in a breach or violation of, or a default
under, any agreement by which such Partner or any of such Partner’s property is or are bound, or
any statute, regulation, order or other law to which such Partner is subject, (iii) such Partner is
neither a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445(f) of the Code nor a “foreign
partner” within the meaning of Section 1446(e) of the Code and (iv) this Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by such Partner and is binding upon, and enforceable against, such Partner
in accordance with its terms.

          B. Each Partner that is not an individual represents and warrants to each other Partner that
(i) its execution and delivery of this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this
Agreement to be performed by it have been duly authorized by all necessary action, including
without limitation, that of its general partner(s), committee(s), trustee(s), beneficiaries,
directors and/or stockholder(s), as the case may be, as required, (ii) the consummation of such
transactions shall not result in a breach or violation of, or a default under, its certificate of

agreement, charter or by-laws, as the case may be, any agreement by which such Partner or any of
such Partner’s properties or any of its partners, beneficiaries, trustees or stockholders, as the
case may be, is or are bound, or any statute, regulation, order or other law to which such Partner

          C. Each Partner represents, warrants and agrees that it has acquired and continues to hold its
interest in the Partnership for its own account for investment only and not for the purpose of, or
with a view toward, the resale or distribution of all or any part thereof, nor with a view toward
selling or otherwise distributing such interest or any part thereof at any particular time or under
any predetermined circumstances. Each Partner further represents and warrants that it is a
sophisticated investor, able and accustomed to handling sophisticated financial matters for itself,
particularly real estate investments, and that it has a sufficiently high net worth that it does
not anticipate a need for the funds it has invested in the Partnership in what it understands to be
a highly speculative and illiquid investment.

          D. Each Partner further represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

          (i) Except as provided in Exhibit E, at any time such Partner actually or
Constructively owns a 25% or greater capital interest or profits interest in the
Partnership, it does not and will not, without the prior written consent of the General
Partner, actually own or Constructively Own (a) with respect to any Tenant that is a
corporation, any stock of such Tenant and (b) with respect to any Tenant that is not a
corporation, any interests in either the assets or net profits of such Tenant.

26

 

          (ii) Except as provided in Exhibit F, at any time such Partner actually or
Constructively owns a 25% or greater capital interest or profits interest in the
Partnership, it does not, and agrees that it will not without the prior written consent of
the General Partner, actually own or Constructively Own, any stock in AMB, other than any
 shares of capital stock of AMB that such Partner may acquire pursuant to Sections 17.8
or 22.8, subject to the ownership limitations set forth in the REIT Charter.

stock of AMB violates the limitations set forth in the REIT Charter, then (x) some or all of
the Series D Redemption rights or rights to exchange Partnership Interests for Series D
Preferred Shares, some or all of the Series I Redemption rights or rights to exchange
Partnership Interests for Series I Preferred Shares or some or all of the Class B Redemption
rights of the Limited Partners may become non-exercisable, and (y) some or all of such
 shares owned by the Partners and/or some or all of the Partnership Interests owned by the
Limited Partners may be automatically transferred to a trust for the benefit of a charitable
beneficiary, as provided in the REIT Charter and Exhibit I of this Agreement,
respectively.

          E. The representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.4.A, 3.4.B, 3.4.C and
3.4.D shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Partner and the
dissolution and winding up of the Partnership.

          F. Each Partner hereby acknowledges that no representations as to potential profit, cash
flows, funds from operations or yield, if any, in respect of the Partnership or the General Partner
have been made by any Partner or any employee or representative or Affiliate of any Partner, and
that projections and any other information, including, without limitation, financial and
descriptive information and documentation, which may have been in any manner submitted to such
Partner shall not constitute any representation or warranty of any kind or nature, express or
implied.

Section 3.5. Certain ERISA Matters

          Each Partner acknowledges that the Partnership is intended to qualify as a “real estate
operating company” (as such term is defined in the Plan Asset Regulation). The General Partner
will use its reasonable best efforts to structure the investments in, relationships with and
conduct with respect to Properties and any other assets of the Partnership so that the Partnership
will be a “real estate operating company” (as such term is defined in the Plan Asset Regulation).

have made Capital Contributions as set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement. The Partners
shall own Partnership Units of the class and in the amounts set forth in Exhibit A and
shall have a Percentage Interest in the Partnership as set forth in Exhibit A, which
Percentage Interest shall be adjusted in Exhibit A from time to time by the General Partner
to the extent necessary to accurately reflect exchanges, redemptions, Capital Contributions, the
issuance of additional Partnership Units or similar events having an effect on a Partner’s

Section 4.2. Loans

          Subject to Section 4.3, the Partnership may incur Debt, or enter into other similar
credit, guarantee, financing or refinancing arrangements for any purpose (including, without
limitation, in connection with any further acquisition of Properties) with any Person, including
the General Partner, the Operating Partnership and their affiliates, upon such terms as the General
Partner determines appropriate; provided, that the Partnership shall not incur any Debt that is
recourse to the General Partner, except to the extent otherwise agreed to by the General Partner in
its sole discretion.

Section 4.3. Additional Funding and Capital Contributions

          A. General. The General Partner may, at any time and from time to time, determine
that the Partnership requires additional funds (“Additional Funds”) for the acquisition of
additional Properties or for such other Partnership purposes as the General Partner may determine.
Additional Funds may be raised by the Partnership, at the election of the General Partner, in any
manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 4.3. No Person shall
have any preemptive, preferential or similar right or rights to subscribe for or acquire any
Partnership Interest.

          B. Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests. The General Partner may raise all or
any portion of the Additional Funds by accepting additional Capital Contributions of cash. The
General Partner may also accept additional Capital Contributions of real property or other non-cash
assets. In connection with any such additional Capital Contributions (of cash or property), and
subject to Sections 17.6 and 22.6 hereof, the General Partner is hereby authorized to cause
the Partnership from time to time to issue to Partners (including the General Partner) or other
Persons (including, without limitation, in connection with the contribution of property to the
Partnership) additional Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests in one or more classes, or
one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights, powers, and duties, including rights, powers, and
duties senior to then existing Limited Partnership Interests, all as shall be determined by the
General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion subject to Delaware law, and as set forth by
amendment to this Agreement, including without limitation: (i) the allocations

of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit to such class or series of
Partnership Interests; (ii) the right of each such class or series of Partnership Interests to
share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights of each such class or series of Partnership
Interests upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; and (iv) the right to vote. In the
event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section
4.3.B, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Agreement (including but not
limited to the revisions described in Sections 5.4 and 6.2.C) as it determines are
necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests.

          C. Percentage Interest Adjustments in the Case of Capital Contributions for Partnership
Units. Upon the acceptance of additional Capital Contributions in exchange for Partnership
Units, the Percentage Interest related thereto, and the Percentage Interest of each other Partner,
shall be equal to the amounts agreed to by the Partnership and the contributors.

          D. AMB agrees to comply with Section 4.3.D of the Twelfth Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended or waived from time to
time.

Section 4.4. No Preemptive Rights

          Except to the extent expressly granted by the Partnership pursuant to another agreement, no
Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to (i) making
additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership or (ii) issuance or sale of any
Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests.

Section 4.5. Other Contribution Provisions

          In the event that any Partner is admitted to the Partnership and is given (or is treated as
having received) a Capital Account in exchange for services rendered to the Partnership, such
transaction shall be treated by the Partnership and the affected Partner as if the Partnership had
compensated such Partner in cash, and the Partner had contributed such cash to the capital of the
Partnership. In addition, with the consent of the General Partner, in its sole discretion, one or
more Limited Partners may enter into contribution agreements with the Partnership which have the
effect of providing a guarantee of certain obligations of the Partnership.

ARTICLE 5.

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 5.1. Requirement and Characterization of Distributions

          The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute all, or such portion as the
General Partner may in its discretion determine, Available Cash generated by the Partnership (i)
first, to the extent that the amount of cash distributed with respect to any Partnership Interests
that are entitled to any preference in distribution for any prior distribution period was less than
the required distribution for such outstanding Partnership Interests for such prior distribution
period, and to the extent such deficiency has not been subsequently distributed pursuant to this
Section 5.1 (a “Preferred Distribution Shortfall”), in accordance with the rights
of such class of Partnership Interests (and within such class, pro rata in proportion to the
respective Percentage

29

 

Interests on the applicable record date) and to the Partners who are Partners on the
applicable record date with respect to such distribution, (ii) second, with respect to any
Partnership Interests that are entitled to any preference in distribution, in accordance with the
rights of such class of Partnership Interests (and within such class, pro rata in proportion to the
respective Percentage Interests on the applicable record date) and (iii) third, with respect to
Partnership Interests that are not entitled to any preference in distribution, pro rata to each
such class on a quarterly basis and in accordance with the terms of such class to Partners who are
Partners of such class on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such distribution (and within
each such class, pro rata in proportion with the respective Percentage Interests on such
Partnership Record Date). Except as expressly provided for in Article 17 with respect to
the Series D Preferred Units, in Article 22 with respect to the Series I Preferred Units,
in Article 23 with respect to the Class B Common Units and in an agreement, if any, entered
into in connection with the creation of a new class of Partnership Interests in accordance with
Article 4, no Partnership Interest shall be entitled to a distribution in preference to any
other Partnership Interest. The General Partner shall take such reasonable efforts, as determined
by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with AMB’s qualification as a REIT, to
cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable AMB, in its capacity of general
partner of the Operating Partnership, and the indirect owner of 100% of the equity interests of the
General Partner, to pay stockholder dividends that will, so long as AMB has determined to qualify
as a REIT, (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations
(“REIT Requirements”) and (b) except to the extent otherwise determined by the General
Partner, avoid any Federal income or excise tax liability of AMB, except to the extent that a
distribution pursuant to clause (b) would prevent the Partnership from making a distribution to the
holders of Series D Preferred Units, Series I Preferred Units or Class B Common Units in accordance
with Sections 17.3, 22.3 and 23.2, respectively.

Section 5.2. Distributions in Kind

          No right is given to any Partner to demand and receive property other than cash. The General
Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make a distribution in kind to the
Partners of Partnership assets, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure
that the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles 5, 6 and
10; provided, however, that, in such case, the General Partner shall distribute only cash to
the Series D Limited Partners and Series I Limited Partners.

Section 5.3. Distributions Upon Liquidation

          Proceeds from a Liquidating Event shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with
Section 13.2.

Section 5.4. Distributions to Reflect Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests

          In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to the General
Partner or any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.3.B or 4.4, the General
Partner shall make such revisions to this Article 5 as it determines are necessary to
reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests. In the absence of any agreement to
the contrary, an Additional Limited Partner shall be entitled to the distributions set forth in
Section 5.1 (without regard to this Section 5.4) with respect to the quarter during
which the closing of its

30

 

contribution to the Partnership occurs, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the
number of days from and after the date of such closing through the end of the applicable quarter,
and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such quarter.

ARTICLE 6.

ALLOCATIONS

Section 6.1. Timing and Amount of Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss

deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss.

pursuant to this Section 6.2.B.1(e) for all prior Partnership Years;
	 
	 	(f)	 	Sixth, 100% to the Holders of Preferred Units, with respect to
each series of Preferred Units, in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the
cumulative Priority Return to the last day of the current Partnership Year or
to the date of redemption of such Preferred Units, to the extent such Preferred
Units are redeemed during such year, over (ii) the cumulative Net Income
allocated to the Holders of such Preferred Units, pursuant to this Section
6.2.B.1(f) for all prior Partnership Years;
	 
	 	(g)	 	Seventh, 100% to the Holders of Class B Common Units in an

	 	(h)	 	Eighth, 100% to the Holders of Class A Common Units in

Partnership Year shall be allocated in the following manner and order of priority:

	 	(a)	 	First, 100% to the Holders of Class A Common Units in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the Class A Common
Units (to the extent consistent with this Section 6.2.B.2(a)) until the
Adjusted Capital Account (ignoring for this purpose any amounts a Holder is
obligated to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or is deemed
obligated to contribute pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)(2)
and ignoring the Holder’s Series D Preferred Capital, Series I Preferred
Capital and Class B Common Capital) of each such Holder is zero;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Second, 100% to the Holders of Class B Common Units in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the Common Units (to
the extent consistent with this Section 6.2.B.2(b)) until the Adjusted
Capital Account (ignoring for this purpose any amounts a Holder is obligated to
contribute to the capital of the Partnership or is deemed obligated to
contribute pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)(2) and ignoring
the Holder’s Series D Preferred Capital and Series I Preferred Capital) of each
such Holder is zero;

32

 

	 	(c)	 	Third, 100% to the Holders of Preferred Units, pro rata to each
such Holder’s Adjusted Capital Account (ignoring for this purpose any amounts a
Holder is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or is
deemed obligated to contribute pursuant to Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)(2)), until the Adjusted Capital Account (as so modified)
of each such Holder is zero;
	 
	 	(d)	 	Fourth, 100% to the Holders of Partnership Interests to the
extent of, and in proportion to, the positive balance (if any) in their
Adjusted Capital Accounts; and
	 
	 	(e)	 	Fifth, 100% to the General Partner.

          C. Allocations to Reflect Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests. In the event
that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to the General Partner or any
Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.3 or 4.4, the General Partner shall make
such revisions to this Section 6.2 or to Section 12.2.B as it determines are necessary to
reflect the terms of the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests, including making
preferential allocations to certain classes of Partnership Interests, subject to the terms of the
Series D Preferred Units and the Series I Preferred Units.

          D. Allocations After Liquidating Event. Subject to the allocations of Net Income and
Net Loss to Holders of Preferred Units and to Section 6.3, but otherwise notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 6.1.B.1 and B.2 above, if a Liquidating Event occurs in a
Partnership Year, Net Income or Net Loss (or, if necessary, separate items of income, gain, loss
and deduction) for such Partnership Year and any Partnership Years thereafter shall be allocated to
Holders of Class B Common Units in such amounts as will cause, to the greatest extent possible,
each such Holder’s Capital Account per Class B Common Unit to be equal to the sum of (a) such
Holder’s accrued and unpaid Class B Distributions per Class B Common Unit (if any), and (b) the
product of (i) the Value of a REIT Share (with the date of the liquidating distribution being the
Valuation Date), and (ii) the Adjustment Factor. Any additional Net Income or Net Loss (or items
thereof) shall be allocated to the Holders of Class A Common Units as set forth in Section
6.1.B.1 and B.2 above.

Section 6.3. Additional Allocation Provisions

          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 6:

          A. Regulatory Allocations.

          (i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations
Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2, or any other
provision of this Article 6, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain
during any fiscal year, each Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income
and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such
Holder’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under
Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made
in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant
thereto. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance

33

 

with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section
6.3.A(i) is intended to qualify as a “minimum gain chargeback” within the meaning of
Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between
such Regulation and this Section 6.3.A(i).

          (ii) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), and notwithstanding the provisions of Section
6.2, or any other provision of this Article 6 (except Section 6.3.A(i)),
if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse
Debt during any fiscal year, each Holder who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain
attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for
such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of
the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt,
determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to
the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be
allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined
in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section
6.3.A(ii) is intended to qualify as a “chargeback of partner nonrecourse debt minimum
gain” within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) which shall be controlling in the
event of a conflict between such Regulation and this Section 6.3.A(ii).

          (iii) Nonrecourse Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any
Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Holders in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interest in Class A Common Units. Any Partner
Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Holder(s) who
bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such
Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Sections
1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i).

          (iv) Qualified Income Offset. If any Holder unexpectedly receives an
adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be
allocated, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to the Holder in an
amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Regulations, the
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Holder as quickly as possible provided that an
allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3.A(iv) shall be made if and only to the
extent that such Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other
allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this
Section 6.3.A(iv) were not in the Agreement. It is intended that this Section
6.3.A(iv) qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of
Regulations 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict
between such Regulations and this Section 6.3.A(iv).

          (v) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Holder has a deficit Capital
Account at the end of any fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of (a) the amount (if
any) such Holder is obligated to restore to the Partnership and (b) the amount such Holder
is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-

34

 

1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and
1.704-2(i)(5), each such Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and
gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation
pursuant to this Section 6.3.A(v) shall be made if and only to the extent that such
Holder would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other
allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this
Section 6.3.A(v) and Section 6.3.A(iv) were not in the Agreement.

          (vi) Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. To the extent any allocation of Net
Loss would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Holder, such
allocation of Net Loss shall be reallocated among the other Holders in accordance with
Section 6.2.B.2, subject to the limitations of this Section 6.3.A(vi).

          (vii) Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax
basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is
required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the
result of a distribution to a Holder in complete liquidation of his interest in the
Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an
item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment
decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Holders in
accordance with their interests in the Partnership in the event that Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Holders to whom such distribution was made in the
event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

          (viii) Curative Allocation. The allocations set forth in Sections
6.3.A(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), and (vii) (the “Regulatory Allocations”)
are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of
Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections
6.1 and 6.2, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other
items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Holders so that, to the extent possible,
the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each
Holder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Holder
if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

          B. For purposes of determining a Holder’s proportional share of the “excess nonrecourse
liabilities” of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each
Holder’s interest in Partnership profits shall be such Holder’s Common Percentage Interest.

Section 6.4. Tax Allocations

          A. In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4, for income
tax purposes each item of income, gain, loss and deduction (collectively, “Tax Items”)
shall be allocated among the Holders in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income,
gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3.

35

 

          B. Allocations Respecting Section 704(c) Revaluations. Notwithstanding Section
6.4.A, Tax Items with respect to Partnership property that is contributed to the Partnership by
a Partner shall be shared among the Holders for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations
promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code, so as to take into account the variation, if any,
between the basis of the property to the Partnership and its initial Gross Asset Value. With
respect to Partnership property that is initially contributed to the Partnership upon its formation
pursuant to Section 4.1, such variation between basis and initial Gross Asset Value shall
be taken into account under the “traditional method” as described in Regulations Section
1.704-3(b). With respect to properties subsequently contributed to the Partnership, the
Partnership shall account for such variation under any method approved under Section 704(c) of the
Code and the applicable regulations as chosen by the General Partner. In the event the Gross Asset
Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Gross
Asset Value (provided in Article 1), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to
such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset
and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable
regulations consistent with the requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) using any
method approved under 704(c) of the Code and the applicable regulations as chosen by the General
Partner.

of the General Partner (for so long as AMB has determined to qualify as a
REIT), to avoid the payment of any Federal income tax (including, for this
purpose, any excise tax pursuant to Section 4981 of the Code) and to make
distributions to its stockholders sufficient to permit AMB to maintain REIT

	 	(viii)	 	the maintenance of such insurance for the benefit of the Partnership and the

time to time); provided that as long as AMB, in its capacity as the indirect
owner of 100% of the equity interests of the General Partner and as the sole
general partner of the Operating Partnership, has determined to continue to
qualify as a REIT, the Partnership may not engage in any such formation,
acquisition or contribution that would cause AMB to fail to qualify as a

	 	(x)	 	the control of any matters affecting the rights and obligations

	 	(xvii)	 	the exercise of any of the powers of the General Partner enumerated in this
Agreement on behalf of or in connection with any Subsidiary of the Partnership
or any other Person in which the Partnership has a direct or indirect interest,
or jointly with any such Subsidiary or other Person;
	 
	 	(xviii)	 	the exercise of any of the powers of the General Partner enumerated in this

	 	(xx)	 	the making of loans by the Partnership to its Partners, for any
purpose, provided that such loans be upon arm’s-length terms.

          B. Each of the Limited Partners agrees that the General Partner is authorized to execute,
deliver and perform the above-mentioned agreements and transactions on behalf of the Partnership
without any further act, approval or vote of the Partners, notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement (except as provided in Section 7.3), the Act or any applicable law, rule or
regulation. The execution, delivery or performance by the General Partner or the Partnership of
any agreement authorized or permitted under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach by the
General Partner of any duty that the General Partner may owe the Partnership or the Limited
Partners or any other Persons under this Agreement or of any duty stated or implied by law or
equity.

          C. At all times from and after the date hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership
to obtain and maintain (i) casualty, liability and other insurance (including, without limitation,
earthquake insurance) on the properties of the Partnership and (ii) liability insurance for the
Indemnities hereunder.

          D. At all times from and after the date hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership
to establish and maintain working capital and other reserves in such amounts as the General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems appropriate and reasonable from time to time.

          E. In exercising its authority under this Agreement, the General Partner may, but other than
as set forth in the following sentence and as expressly set forth in the agreements listed on
Exhibit H hereto, shall be under no obligation to, take into account the tax consequences
to any Partner (including the General Partner) of any action taken by the General Partner. The
General Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Limited Partner under any
circumstances as a result of an income tax liability incurred by such Limited Partner as a result
of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner pursuant to its authority under this Agreement.

          F. Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent the duties of the General Partner
require expenditures of funds to be paid to third parties, the General Partner shall not have any
obligations hereunder except to the extent that Partnership funds are reasonably available to it
for the performance of such duties, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize or
require the General Partner, in its capacity as such, to expend its individual funds for payment to
third parties or to undertake any individual liability or obligation on behalf of the Partnership.

39

 

Section 7.2. Certificate of Limited Partnership

          To the extent that such action is determined by the General Partner to be reasonable and
necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to and restatements of the
Certificate and do all the things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a
partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of
Delaware and to maintain the Partnership’s qualification to do business as a foreign limited
partnership in each other state, the District of Columbia or other jurisdiction, in which the
Partnership may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section
8.5.A(iv), the General Partner shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or
mail a copy of the Certificate or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner. The General
Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents
as may be reasonable and necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification
and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited
liability) in the State of Delaware, and any other state, or the District of Columbia or other
jurisdiction, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property.

Section 7.3. Restrictions on General Partner’s Authority

          A. The General Partner may not take any action in contravention of this Agreement, including,
without limitation:

ordinary business of the Partnership, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	possess Partnership property, or assign any rights in specific

	 	(iii)	 	admit a Person as a Partner, except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	perform any act that would subject a Limited Partner to

except as provided herein or under the Act; or
	 
	 	(v)	 	perform any act that would subject the Partnership to
regulation as an “investment company” as such term is defined under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          B. The General Partner shall not, without the prior Consent of the Partners (in addition to
any Consent of the Limited Partners required by any other provision hereof), undertake, on behalf
of the Partnership, any of the following actions or enter into any transaction which would have the
effect of such transactions:

	 	(i)	 	except as provided in Section 7.3.D below, amend,
modify or terminate this Agreement other than to reflect the admission,
substitution, termination or withdrawal of partners pursuant to Article
12;

40

 

	 	(ii)	 	make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or
appoint or acquiesce in the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for
all or any part of the assets of the Partnership;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	institute any proceeding for bankruptcy on behalf of the

entity.

          C. Except in the case of a Liquidating Event pursuant to Section 13.1 (other than
Section 13.1.F), the General Partner shall not, without the prior Consent of the Limited
Partners, undertake, on behalf of the Partnership, any actions or enter into any transaction which
would have the effect of a dissolution of the Partnership, including a sale, exchange, transfer or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets in a single transaction
or a series of related transactions.

          D. Notwithstanding Sections 7.3.B and 7.3.C, but subject to Section 7.3.E, the
General Partner shall have the power, without the Consent of the Partners, to amend this Agreement
as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes:

	 	(i)	 	to add to the obligations of the General Partner or surrender
any right or power granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate of the
General Partner for the benefit of the Limited Partners;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	to reflect the issuance of additional Partnership Interests
pursuant to Section 4.3.B, or the admission, substitution, termination,
reduction in Partnership Units or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with
this Agreement (which may be effected through the replacement of Exhibit
A with an amended Exhibit A);
	 
	 	(iii)	 	to set forth or amend the designations, rights, powers,
duties, and preferences of the holders of any additional Partnership Interests
issued pursuant to Article 4;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	to reflect a change that is of an inconsequential nature and
does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material respect, or to
cure any ambiguity in, correct or supplement any provision, or make other
changes with respect to matters arising under, this Agreement that will not be
inconsistent with law or with the provisions of this Agreement;
	 
	 	(v)	 	to satisfy any requirements, conditions, or guidelines
contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a Federal,
state of local agency or contained in Federal, state or local law.
	 
	 	(vi)	 	to reflect such changes as are reasonably necessary for AMB, in
its capacity as the indirect owner of 100% of the equity interests of the
General Partner and as the sole general partner of the Operating

41

 

	 	 	 	Partnership, to maintain its status as a REIT, including changes which may
be necessitated due to a change in applicable law (or an authoritative
interpretation thereof) or a ruling of the IRS; and
	 
	 	(vii)	 	to modify, as set forth in the definition of “Capital
Account,” the manner in which Capital Accounts are computed.

The General Partner will provide notice to the Limited Partners when any action under this
Section 7.3.D is taken.

          E. Notwithstanding Sections 7.3.B, 7.3.C and 7.3.D, this Agreement shall not be
amended, and no action may be taken by the General Partner, including in either case through merger
or sale of assets of the Partnership or otherwise, without the Consent of each Common Limited
Partner or Preferred Limited Partner adversely affected if such amendment or action would (i)
convert a Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership into a general partner’s interest (except
as the result of the General Partner acquiring such interest), (ii) modify the limited liability of
a Limited Partner, (iii) alter rights of the Partner to receive distributions pursuant to
Article 5 or Section 13.2.A(4) or Article 17 or the allocations specified

the Series D Redemption or exchange rights as set forth in Sections 17.5 and 17.8,

in such section.

          F. The General Partner shall not undertake to dispose of any Partnership Property specified in
the agreements listed in Exhibit G in a taxable sale or taxable exchange prior to the dates
specified in such agreements without the prior consent of each Limited Partner which contributed
all or any portion of an interest in such Property to the Partnership, as set forth in such
agreements.

Section 7.4. Reimbursement of the General Partner

          A. Except as provided in this Section 7.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including
the provisions of Articles 5 and 6 regarding distributions, payments and allocations to
which it may be entitled), the General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as general
partner of the Partnership.

          B. The General Partner shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the
General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, for all expenses it incurs
relating to the ownership of interests in and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership.
Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement to the General Partner as a result
of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7.

          C. If and to the extent any reimbursements to the General Partner pursuant to this Section
7.4 constitute gross income of the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances
made by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall constitute guaranteed
payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be

42

 

treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated
as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts.

Section 7.5. Outside Activities of the General Partner

          Without the Consent of the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall not, directly or
indirectly, enter into or conduct any business, other than in connection with the ownership,
acquisition and disposition of Partnership Interests as a General Partner and the management of the
business of the Partnership and such activities as are incidental to the same and activities
incidental to the ownership of interests permitted by the next succeeding sentence. Without the
Consent of the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall not, directly or indirectly, participate
in or otherwise acquire any interest in any real or personal property, except its General Partner
Interest, its interest in any Subsidiary Partnership(s) (held directly or indirectly through a
Qualified REIT Subsidiary) that the General Partner holds in order to maintain such Subsidiary
Partnership’s status as a partnership, and such bank accounts, similar instruments or other
short-term investments as it deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities contemplated under
this Agreement and the REIT Charter. The General Partner’s General Partner Interest in the
Partnership, and interests in such short-term liquid investments, bank accounts or similar
instruments as the General Partner deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities contemplated
under this Agreement and the Charter are interests which the General Partner is permitted to
acquire and hold for purposes of this Section 7.5.

Section 7.6. Employee Benefit Plans

          The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of the
Limited Partners, may propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit plans funded
by the Partnership for the benefit of employees of the General Partner, the Partnership,
Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of services performed,
directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership, the General Partner, or any of the
Partnership’s Subsidiaries.

Section 7.7. Indemnification

          A. The Partnership shall indemnify an Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments,
fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or
proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the
Partnership as set forth in this Agreement in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is
threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is established that: (i) the act or
omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was
committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the Indemnitee
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case
of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission
was unlawful. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any
Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Partnership or
any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the
Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the General
Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the

43

 

Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of
this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any
such indebtedness. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not
create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth
in this Section 7.7.A. The termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of
nolo contendere or its equivalent, or any entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates
a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this
Section 7.7.A. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only
out of the assets of the Partnership, and any insurance proceeds from the liability policy covering
the General Partner and any Indemnitee, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner
shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or otherwise provide
funds to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7.

          B. Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding may be paid or
reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by
the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith
belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized
in Section 7.7.A has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the
Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct
has not been met.

          C. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other
rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to
any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee
who has ceased to serve in such capacity.

          D. The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnitees and such
other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted
against or expenses that may be incurred by any such Person in connection with the Partnership’s
activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person
against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

          E. For purposes of this Section 7.7, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested
an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of
its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the
plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with
respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the
meaning of Section 7.7; and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an
employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to
be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a
purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership.

          F. In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason
of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

          G. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this
Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to

44

 

which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of
this Agreement.

          H. The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their
heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the
benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or
any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on
the Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect
immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or
relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or
repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

          I. If and to the extent any reimbursements to the General Partner pursuant to this Section
7.7 constitute gross income of the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances
made by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership) such amounts shall constitute guaranteed
payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated consistently therewith
by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of
computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts.

          J. Any indemnification hereunder is subject to, and limited by, the provisions of Section
17-108 of the Act.

          K. In the event the Partnership is made a party to any litigation or otherwise incurs any loss
or expense as a result of or in connection with any Partner’s personal obligations or liabilities
unrelated to Partnership business, such Partner shall indemnify and reimburse the Partnership for
all such loss and expense incurred, including legal fees, and the Partnership Interest of such
Partner may be charged therefor. The liability of a Partner under this Section 7.7.K shall
not be limited to such Partner’s Partnership Interest, but shall be enforceable against such
Partner personally.

Section 7.8. Liability of the General Partner

          A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the General
Partner and any of its officers, directors, agents and employees shall be liable or accountable in
damages or otherwise to the Partnership, any Partners or any Assignees, or their successors or
assigns, for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors
in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or any act or omission if the General Partner acted in good
faith.

          B. The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting for the
benefit of the Partnership, the Limited Partners and AMB’s stockholders collectively, that the
General Partner is under no obligation to give priority to the separate interests of the Limited
Partners or AMB’s stockholders (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Limited
Partners or Assignees or to stockholders) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or
decline to take) any actions and that the General Partner shall not be liable to the Partnership or
to any Limited Partner for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits
not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions; provided, that the General
Partner has acted in good faith.

45

 

          C. Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section
7.1.A, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and
perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents.
The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any
such agent appointed by it in good faith.

          D. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof
shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the
General Partner and any of its officers, directors, agents and employees to the Partnership and the
Limited Partners under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment,
modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in
whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims
may arise or be asserted.

Section 7.9. Other Matters Concerning the General Partner

          A. The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

          B. The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management
consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act
taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters which such
General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence
shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with
such opinion.

          C. The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations
hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers and a duly appointed attorney or
attorneys-in-fact. Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the General Partner in the
power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty which
is permitted or required to be done by the General Partner hereunder.

          D. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any non-mandatory provision of
the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision of the
General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership, undertaken in the good faith
belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order to protect the ability of
AMB, in its capacity as the indirect owner of 100% of the equity interests of the General Partner
and as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, for so long as AMB has determined to
qualify as a REIT, to (i) continue to qualify as a REIT or (ii) except with respect to the
distribution of Available Cash to the Series D Limited Partners, the Series I Limited Partners and
the Class B Limited Partners in accordance in accordance with Sections 17.3, 22.3 and 23.2,
respectively, avoid AMB incurring any taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is
expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners.

46

 

          E. So long as the General Partner holds any interest in the Partnership (as either a General
Partner or Limited Partner), the General Partner shall have “management rights” (as such term is
defined in the Plan Asset Regulation) with respect to the Partnership and its Properties to the
extent necessary to qualify AMB as a “venture capital operating company” (as such term is defined
in the Plan Asset Regulation).

Section 7.10. Title to Partnership Assets

          Title to Partnership assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or
intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partners,
individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any
portion thereof. Title to any or all of the Partnership assets may be held in the name of the
Partnership, the General Partner or one or more nominees, as the General Partner may determine,
including Affiliates of the General Partner. The General Partner hereby declares and warrants that
any Partnership assets for which legal title is held in the name of the General Partner or any
nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner shall be deemed held by the General Partner or such
nominee or Affiliate for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement; provided, however, that the General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause
beneficial and record title to such assets to be vested in the Partnership as soon as reasonably
practicable. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership in its
books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Partnership assets is
held.

Section 7.11. Reliance by Third Parties

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the
Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner has full power and authority to
encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter
into any contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the
General Partner as if it were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and
beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies which may
be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the General Partner
in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner
or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been
complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the General
Partner or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed
on behalf of the Partnership by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive
evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the
time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was
in full force and effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or
instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership and
(iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with
the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership.

Upon the removal of the General Partner, the Class A Common Limited Partners shall select a
successor General Partner, who shall upon the acceptance of such selection be admitted as a

business by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, general
partner, agent or trustee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in
their capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of
the Limited Partners or Assignees under this Agreement.

Section 8.3. Outside Activities of Limited Partners

          Subject to any agreements entered into by a Limited Partner or its Affiliates with the General
Partner, Partnership or a Subsidiary, any Limited Partner and any officer, director, employee,

Partner or Assignee. Subject to such agreements, none of the Limited Partners nor any other Person
shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship established
hereby in any business ventures of any other Person, other than the Limited Partners benefiting
from the business conducted by the General Partner, and such other Person shall have no obligation
pursuant to this Agreement to offer any interest in any such business ventures to the Partnership,
any Limited Partner or any such other Person, even if such opportunity is of a character which, if
presented to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or such other Person, could be taken by such
other Person.

return of Capital Contributions, or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, as to
profits, losses, distributions or credits.

ARTICLE 10.

TAX MATTERS

Section 10.1. Preparation of Tax Returns

          The General Partner shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns of
Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Partnership for
Federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish, within
ninety (90) days of the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by
Limited Partners for Federal and state income tax reporting purposes. Each Limited Partner shall
promptly provide the General Partner with such information relating to any Contributed Property
contributed by such Limited Partner to the Partnership.

Section 10.2. Tax Elections

          Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall, in its sole and absolute
discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code, including the
election under Section 754 of the Code. The General Partner shall have the right to seek to revoke
any such election (including without limitation, any election under Section 754 of the Code) upon
the General Partner’s determination in its sole and absolute discretion that such revocation is the
best interests of the Partners.

Section 10.3. Tax Matters Partner

          A. The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership for Federal
income tax purposes. Pursuant to Section 6223(c) of the Code, upon receipt of notice from the IRS
of the beginning of an administrative proceeding with respect to the Partnership, the tax matters
partner shall furnish the IRS with the name, address and profit interest of each of the Limited
Partners and Assignees; provided, however, that such information is provided to the Partnership by
the Limited Partners and Assignees.

          B. The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required:

	 	(i)	 	to enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect to any
administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Partnership items
required to be taken into account by a Partner for income tax purposes (such
administrative proceedings being referred to as a “tax audit” and such judicial
proceedings being referred to as “judicial review”), and in the settlement
agreement the tax matters partner may expressly state that such agreement shall
bind all Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any
Partner (a) who (within the time prescribed pursuant to

51

 

	 	 	 	the Code and Regulations) files a statement with the IRS providing that the
tax matters partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement
agreement on behalf of such Partner or (b) who is a “notice partner” (as
defined in Section 6231 of the Code) or a member of a “notice group” (as
defined in Section 6223(b)(2) of the Code);
	 
	 	(ii)	 	in the event that a notice of a final administrative adjustment
at the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a
Partner for tax purposes (a “final adjustment”) is mailed to the tax matters
partner, to seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing
of a petition for readjustment with the Tax Court or the United States Claims
Court, or the filing of a complaint for refund with the District Court of the
United States for the district in which the Partnership’s principal place of
business is located;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for
judicial review of a final adjustment;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the IRS
at any time and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the IRS, to file
an appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for judicial review with
respect to such request;
	 
	 	(v)	 	to enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the period
for assessing any tax which is attributable to any item required to be taken
into account by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item;
and
	 
	 	(vi)	 	to take any other action on behalf of the Partners of the
Partnership in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding to
the extent permitted by applicable law or regulations.

          The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the tax matters partner in
connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole
and absolute discretion of the tax matters partner and the provisions relating to indemnification
of the General Partner set forth in Section 7.7 shall be fully applicable to the tax
matters partner in its capacity as such.

          C. The tax matters partner shall receive no compensation for its services. All third party
costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters partner in performing its duties as such (including
legal and accounting fees) shall be borne by the Partnership. Nothing herein shall be construed to
restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm to assist the tax matters partner in
discharging its duties hereunder, so long as the compensation paid by the Partnership for such
services is reasonable.

Section 10.4. Organizational Expenses

          The Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the
Partnership ratably over a sixty (60) month period as provided in Section 709 of the Code.

52

 

Section 10.5. Withholding

          Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or
with respect to such Limited Partner any amount of Federal, state, local, or foreign taxes that the
General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any
amount distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including,
without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to
Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 or 1446 of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a
Limited Partner shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Limited Partner, which loan
shall be repaid by such Limited Partner within fifteen (15) days after notice from the General
Partner that such payment must be made unless (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a
distribution which would otherwise be made to the Limited Partner or (ii) the General Partner
determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the
available funds of the Partnership which would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Limited
Partner. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as
having been distributed to such Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably grants to the Partnership a security interest in such Limited Partner’s Partnership
Interest to secure such Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required
to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.5. In the event that a Limited Partner fails to pay
any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.5 when due, the General
Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the Partnership on
behalf of such defaulting Limited Partner, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such
amount to such defaulting Limited Partner and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the
Partnership as against such defaulting Limited Partner (including, without limitation, the right to
receive distributions and the holding of a security interest in such Limited Partner’s Partnership
Interest). Any amounts payable by a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate
on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to
time in the Wall Street Journal, plus two percentage points (but not higher than the
maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., 15 days after demand) until
such amount is paid in full. Each Limited Partner shall take such actions as the Partnership or
the General Partner shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created
hereunder.

ARTICLE 11.

TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS

Section 11.1. Transfer

          A. The term “transfer,” when used in this Article 11 with respect to a Partnership
Interest, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which the General Partner purports to assign
its General Partner Interest to another Person or by which a Limited Partner purports to assign its
Limited Partnership Interest to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift (outright or
in trust), pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law
or otherwise. Except to the extent otherwise specified, the term “transfer” when used in this
Article 11 does not include any exchange for Series D Preferred Shares pursuant to
Section 17.8, any exchange for Series I Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 22.8,
or any exchange for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 23.4. No part of the interest of a
Limited Partner shall be subject to the claims of any creditor, any spouse for alimony or support,

53

 

or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered,
except as may be specifically provided for in this Agreement.

          B. No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 11. Any transfer or purported
transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article 11 shall be
null and void ab initio unless otherwise consented by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion.

Section 11.2. Transfer of Common Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest

          A. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.2.A or Section 11.2.B, no
Common Limited Partner shall withdraw from or transfer all or any portion of its interest in the
Partnership (whether by sale, statutory merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise). Any
attempted transfer of a Common Limited Partner Interest contrary to this Section 11.2.A
shall be void ab initio. To the extent the prior sentence does not have the effect of preventing
any such proposed transfer, the transfer shall cause the dissolution of the Partnership.

          B. Notwithstanding Section 11.2.A but subject to the other limitations set forth in
this Agreement, (i) any Class A Common Limited Partner other than the Operating Partnership shall
be permitted to transfer, with the consent of the General Partner (which consent may be given or
withheld in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion), all or any portion of its
Partnership Interest to the Operating Partnership, and (ii) any Class B Common Limited Partner
shall be permitted to transfer, with the consent of the General Partner (which consent may be given
or withheld in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion), all or any portion of its
Partnership Interest.

Section 11.3. Preferred Limited Partners’ and Class B Common Limited Partners’ Rights to
Transfer

          A. Any Preferred Limited Partner may, at any time without the consent of the General Partner,
(i) transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to the General Partner, (ii) transfer
all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to an Affiliate controlled thereby or to an
Immediate Family member, subject to the provisions of Section 11.6, (iii) transfer all or
any portion of its Partnership Interest to a trust for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary or
to a charitable foundation, subject to the provisions of Section 11.6 and (iv) subject to
the provisions of Section 11.6, (a) pledge (a “Pledge”) all or any portion of its
Partnership Interest to a lending institution, which is not an Affiliate of such Preferred Limited
Partner, as collateral or security for a bona fide loan or other extension of credit, or (b)
transfer such pledged Partnership Interest to such lending institution in connection with the
exercise of remedies under such loan or extension of credit. In addition, each Preferred Limited
Partner or Assignee (resulting from a transfer made pursuant to clauses (i)-(iv) of the preceding
sentence) shall have the right to transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest, subject
to the provisions of Section 11.6, provided that any transfer of a Partnership Interest
shall be made only to Qualified Transferees.

          It is a condition to any transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes by
operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Preferred Limited
Partner or Class B Common Limited Partner, as the case may be, under this

54

 

Agreement with respect to such transferred Partnership Interest and no such transfer (other
than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the
transferor Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the
transferor Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the General
Partner, in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any
transferred Partnership Interest shall be subject to any and all ownership limitations contained in
the REIT Charter, which may limit or restrict such transferee’s ability to exercise its Series D
Redemption rights or the exchange rights set forth in Sections 17.5 or 17.8, respectively,
its Series I Redemption rights or the exchange rights set forth in Sections 22.5 or 22.8,
respectively, or its Class B Redemption rights set forth in Section 23.4, and to the
representations set forth in Section 3.4.D. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a
Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder.
Unless admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, no transferee, whether by a voluntary transfer,
by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an
Assignee as provided in Section 11.5.

          B. If a Preferred Limited Partner or Class B Common Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity,
the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator, or receiver of such Limited
Partner’s estate shall have all the rights of a Preferred Limited Partner or Class B Common Limited
Partner, as the case may be, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Preferred Limited
Partners or Class B Common Limited Partner, as the case may be, for the purpose of settling or
managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated Preferred Limited Partner or Incapacitated
Class B Common Limited Partner, as the case may be, possessed to transfer all or any part of his or
its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not
dissolve or terminate the Partnership.

          C. The General Partner may prohibit any transfer otherwise permitted under Section
11.2 or this Section 11.3 if, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, such
transfer would require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act by the
Partnership or would otherwise violate any Federal or state securities laws or regulations
applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Unit.

          D. No transfer (including any Series D Redemption or exchange rights set forth in Sections
17.5 and 17.8, respectively, any Series I Redemption or exchange rights set forth in
Sections 22.5 and 22.8, respectively, any Class B Redemption rights set forth in
Section 23.4, or any other acquisition of Common Units, Series D Preferred Units or Series
I Preferred Units by the General Partner, AMB or the Partnership) may be made to any person if (i)
in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it could result in the Partnership being
treated as an association taxable as a corporation or (ii) absent the consent of the General
Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, such transfer could be
treated as effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the
substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.

          E. No transfer may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within
the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan
constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, without the consent of the General Partner, in its sole and
absolute discretion; provided, that as a condition to such consent, the lender will be required to
enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General Partner to redeem or exchange for
the specified amount of Series D Preferred Shares, Series I Preferred

55

 

Shares, and/or REIT Shares (as the case may be) any Partnership Units in which a security
interest is held simultaneously with the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a partner
in the Partnership for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the
Code.

          F. No Preferred Limited Partner or Class B Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership
except as a result of transfer, Series D Redemption, Series I Redemption, Class B Redemption, or
exchange of all of its Partnership Units pursuant hereto.

Section 11.4. Substituted Limited Partners

          A. Any Preferred Limited Partner or Class B Common Limited Partner shall have the right to
substitute a transferee permitted by this Agreement as a Limited Partner in his or her place. The
General Partner shall have the right to consent to the admission of a permitted transferee of the
interest of any other Limited Partner, as a Substituted Limited Partner, pursuant to this
Section 11.4, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and
absolute discretion. The General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit a transferee of any such
interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action
against the Partnership or any Partner.

          B. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this
Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and
liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement. The admission of any transferee as a
Substituted Limited Partner shall be subject to the transferee executing and delivering to the
Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the provisions of Section 2.4 and such other documents or instruments as may be
required to effect the admission, each in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner)
and the acknowledgment by such transferee that each of the representations and warranties set forth
in Section 3.4 are true and correct with respect to such transferee as of the date of the
transfer of the Partnership Interest to such transferee and will continue to be true to the extent
required by such representations and warranties.

          C. Upon the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend
Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, number of Partnership Units, and Percentage
Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name,
address and interest of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner.

Section 11.5. Assignees

          If the General Partner, with respect to a transferee requiring the General Partner’s consent,
does not consent, in its sole and absolute discretion, to the admission of any permitted transferee
under Section 11.3 as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4,
such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall
be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act,
including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net
Losses, gain and loss attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to such transferee, the rights
to transfer the Partnership Units provided in this Article 11, the right of exchange for
Series D Preferred Shares set forth in Section 17.8, the right of exchange for Series I
Preferred Shares set

56

 

forth in Section 22.8, and the Class B Redemption set forth in Section 23.4 ̧
but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Units for any other purpose under this
Agreement, and shall not be entitled to effect a Consent with respect to such Partnership Units on
any matter presented to the Limited Partners for approval (such Consent remaining with the
transferor Limited Partner). In the event any such transferee desires to make a further assignment
of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this
Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to
make an assignment of Partnership Units. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, as a condition to becoming an Assignee, any prospective Assignee must first execute
and deliver to the Partnership an acknowledgment that each of the representations and warranties
set forth in Section 3.4 hereof are true and correct with respect to such prospective
Assignee as of the date of the prospective assignment of the Partnership Interest to such
prospective Assignee and will continue to be true to the extent required by such representations or
warranties.

Section 11.6. General Provisions

          A. No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of (i) a
transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units as permitted in accordance with this
Article 11 and the transferee(s) of such Units being admitted to the Partnership as a
Substituted Limited Partner(s), (ii) pursuant to the Series D Redemption or exchange of all of such
Limited Partner’s Series D Preferred Units pursuant to Section 17.8, (iii) pursuant to the
Series I Redemption or exchange of all such Limited Partner’s Series I Preferred Units pursuant to
Section 22.8, or (iv) pursuant to the Class B Redemption pursuant to Section 23.4;
provided further that in connection with any such redemption or exchange, the applicable Limited
Partner thereafter owns no Partnership Interest.

          B. Any Limited Partner who shall transfer all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in a
transfer permitted pursuant to this Article 11 where such transferee was admitted as a
Substituted Limited Partner or pursuant to the exercise of its rights of Series D Redemption or
exchange of all of such Limited Partner’s Series D Preferred Units pursuant to Section
17.8, pursuant to the exercise of its rights of Series I Redemption or exchange of all of such
Limited Partner’s Series I Preferred Units pursuant to Section 22.8 or pursuant to the
exercise of its rights of Class B Redemption pursuant to Section 23.4, shall cease to be a
Limited Partner; provided the Limited Partner owns no other Partnership Interest.

          C. Transfers pursuant to this Article 11 may only be made effective on the last day of
the month set forth on the written instrument of transfer, unless the General Partner otherwise
agrees.

          D. If any Partnership Interest is transferred, assigned or redeemed during any quarterly
segment of the Partnership’s fiscal year in compliance with the provisions of this Article
11 or transferred or redeemed pursuant to Sections 17.5 or 22.5, on any day other than
the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other
items attributable to such Partnership Interest for such fiscal year shall be divided and allocated
between the transferor Partner and the transferee Partner by taking into account their varying
interests during the fiscal year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim
closing of the books method. Except as otherwise required by Section 706(d) of the Code or as
otherwise specified in this Agreement or as otherwise determined by the General Partner (to the

57

 

extent consistent with Section 706(d) of the Code), solely for purposes of making such
allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which the transfer, assignment or
redemption occurs shall be allocated among all the Partners and Assignees in a manner determined by
the General Partner in its sole discretion.

          E. In addition to any other restrictions on transfer herein contained, including without
limitation the provisions of this Article 11 and Section 2.6, in no event may any
transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including by way of a Series D
Redemption or exchange for Series D Preferred Shares, a Series I Redemption or exchange for Series
I Preferred Shares, a Class B Redemption, or any other acquisition of Common Units, Series D
Preferred Units or Series I Preferred Units by the Partnership, AMB or the General Partner) be made
(i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership
Interest; (ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) except with the consent of the General
Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, of any component
portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions,
separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) except with the
consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion,
if in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership such transfer would cause a termination of
the Partnership for Federal or state income tax purposes; (v) if in the opinion of counsel to the
Partnership such transfer could cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership
for Federal or state income tax purposes; (vi) if such transfer would cause the Partnership to
become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a
“party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined
in Section 4975(c) of the Code); (vii) if such transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the
Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any
employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.2-101; (viii) if
such transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest or requires the registration
of the exchange of such Partnership Interests for any capital stock pursuant to any applicable
Federal or state securities laws; (ix) except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be
given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, if such transfer could be treated as
effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market” (or the substantial
equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code or such transfer causes the
Partnership to become a “Publicly Traded Partnership,” as such term is defined in Sections
469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the Code; (x) if such transfer subjects the Partnership to be regulated
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended; (xi) if the transferee or assignee of such
Partnership Interest is unable to make the representations set forth in Section 3.4.D or
such transfer could otherwise adversely affect the ability of AMB, in its capacity as the indirect
owner of 100% of the equity interests of the General Partner and as the sole general partner of the
Operating Partnership, to remain qualified as a REIT; or (xii) if, except with the consent of the
General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, such transfer
could subject AMB to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code.

          F. The General Partner shall monitor the transfers of interests in the Partnership (including
any acquisition of Series D Preferred Units, Series I Preferred Units or Class B Common Units by
the Partnership, AMB or the General Partner) to determine (i) if such interests are being traded on
an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the

58

 

substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and (ii)
whether such transfers of interests would result in the Partnership being unable to qualify for at
least one of the “safe harbors” set forth in Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (or such other applicable
guidance subsequently published by the IRS setting forth safe harbors under which interests will
not be treated as “readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)”
within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code) (the “Safe Harbors”). The General Partner
shall have authority (but shall not be required to) to take any steps it determines are necessary
or appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion to prevent any trading of interests which could
cause the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” or any recognition by the
Partnership of such transfers, or to insure that at least one of the Safe Harbors is met.

ARTICLE 12.

ADMISSION OF PARTNERS

Section 12.1. Admission of Successor General Partner

          A successor to all of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest who is proposed to be
admitted as a successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General
Partner, effective upon such transfer. Any such transferee shall carry on the business of the
Partnership without dissolution. In each case, the admission shall be subject to the successor
General Partner executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect
the admission. In the case of such admission on any day other than the first day of a Partnership
Year, all items attributable to the General Partner Interest for such Partnership Year shall be
allocated between the transferring General Partner and such successor as provided in Article
11.

Section 12.2. Admission of Additional Limited Partners

          A. A Person who makes a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in accordance with this
Agreement shall be admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner only upon
furnishing to the General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance in form satisfactory to the General
Partner of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the
power of attorney granted in Section 2.4 and (ii) such other documents or instruments as
may be required in the discretion of the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission
as an Additional Limited Partner.

          B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2, no Person shall be
admitted as an Additional Limited Partner without the consent of the General Partner, which consent
may be given or withheld in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion. The admission of
any Person as an Additional Limited Partner shall become effective on the date upon which the name
of such Person is recorded on the books and records of the Partnership, following the receipt of
the Capital Contribution in respect of such Limited Partner, the documents set forth in this
Section 12.2.A and the consent of the General Partner to such admission. If any Additional
Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership on any day other than the first day of a Partnership
Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items allocable among Partners
and Assignees for such Partnership Year shall be allocated among such Limited Partner and all other
Partners and Assignees by taking into account their

59

 

varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code,
using the interim closing of the books method. Solely for purposes of making such allocations,
each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of an Additional Limited Partner
occurs shall be allocated among all the Partners and Assignees, including such Additional Limited
Partner, in a manner determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion.

Section 12.3. Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership

          For the admission to the Partnership of any Partner, the General Partner shall take all steps
necessary and appropriate under the Act to amend the records of the Partnership and, if necessary,
to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement (including an amendment of
Exhibit A) and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate
and may for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.4.

ARTICLE 13.

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

Section 13.1. Dissolution

          The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Limited Partners or
Additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor General Partner in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any successor General
Partner (selected as described in Section 13.1.B below) shall continue the business of the
Partnership. The Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to
occur of any of the following (“Liquidating Events”):

          A. the expiration of its term as provided in Section 2.5;

          B. an event of withdrawal of the General Partner, as defined in the Act, unless, within ninety
(90) days after the withdrawal, all of the remaining Common Limited Partners agree in writing, in
their sole and absolute discretion, to continue the business of the Partnership and to the
appointment, effective as of the date of withdrawal, of a substitute General Partner;

          C. prior to October 15, 2096, an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the General
Partner with the consent of Limited Partners who hold ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding Units
held by Limited Partners;

          D. subject to the provisions of Section 7.3.C, an election to dissolve the Partnership
made by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion;

          E. entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of
the Act;

          F. the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the
Partnership;

60

 

          G. a final and non-appealable judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction ruling
that the General Partner is bankrupt or insolvent, or a final and non-appealable order for relief
is entered by a court with appropriate jurisdiction against the General Partner, in each case under
any Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless prior to
or at the time of the entry of such order or judgment a Majority in Interest of the Limited
Partners remaining consent in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the
appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such order or judgment, of a substitute
General Partner.

Section 13.2. Winding Up

          A. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the
purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the
claims of its creditors and Partners. No Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent with,
or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs.
The General Partner (or, in the event there is no remaining General Partner, any Person elected by
a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners (the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for
overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the
Partnership’s liabilities and assets and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly
as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to
the extent determined by the General Partner, include equity interests of the General Partner)
shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

	 	(i)	 	First, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s
debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Partners;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Second, to the payment and discharge of all of the
Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the General Partner;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Third, to the payment and discharge of all of the
Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the other Partners; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with their
Capital Account balances determined after giving effect to all contributions
and distributions for all periods, and after taking into account all Capital
Account adjustments for the Partnership taxable year during which the
liquidation occurs (other than those made as a result of the liquidating
distribution set forth in this Section 13.2.A(iv)).

The General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed
pursuant to this Article 13 other than reimbursement of its expenses as provided in
Section 7.4.

          B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2.A which require liquidation of the
assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or
upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all
of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the
Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of
any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those
Partners as creditors) and/or distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in

61

 

common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.A, undivided interests in
such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such
distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such
distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Partners, and shall be subject to such
conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems
reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such
time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind
using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

          C. The Partnership shall be terminated when any notes received in connection with any such
sale or disposition referenced in Section 13.1.E above, or in connection with the
liquidation of the Partnership have been paid and all of the cash or property available for
application and distribution under this Agreement have been applied and distributed in accordance
with this Agreement.

Section 13.3. Compliance with Timing Requirements of Regulations

          In the event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article 13 to the
General Partner and Limited Partners who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). If any Partner has a deficit balance in his or her
Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for the
taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Partner shall have no
obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit,
and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for
any purpose whatsoever, except to the extent otherwise agreed to by such Partner and the General
Partner. In the discretion of the Liquidator or the General Partner, a pro rata portion of the
distributions that would otherwise be made to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to
this Article 13 may be:

          A. distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General Partner and Limited
Partners for the purposes of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the
Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership
or of the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership. The assets of any
such trust shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners from time to time, in
the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator or the General Partner, in the same proportions and the
amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the
General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement; or

          B. withheld to establish any reserves deemed necessary or appropriate for any contingent or
unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership; and to reflect the unrealized portion of
any installment obligations owed to the Partnership; provided that, such withheld amounts shall be
distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners as soon as practicable.

Section 13.4. Deemed Distribution and Recontribution

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 13, in the event the Partnership

Liquidating Event has occurred, the Partnership’s property shall not be liquidated, the
Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Partnership’s affairs shall not
be wound up. Instead, the Partnership shall be deemed to have distributed the Partnership property
in kind to the General Partner and Limited Partners, who shall be deemed to have assumed and taken
such property subject to all Partnership liabilities, all in accordance with their respective
Capital Accounts. Immediately thereafter, the General Partner and Limited Partners shall be deemed
to have recontributed the Partnership property in kind to the Partnership, which shall be deemed to
have assumed and taken such property subject to all such liabilities.

Section 13.5. Rights of Limited Partners

          Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Limited Partner shall look solely to the
assets of the Partnership for the return of his Capital Contribution and shall have no right or
power to demand or receive property from the General Partner. Except as expressly set forth herein
with respect to the rights, priorities and preferences of the Preferred Limited Partners holding
any series of Preferred Units and the Class B Common Limited Partners, no Limited Partner shall
have priority over any other Limited Partner as to the return of his Capital Contributions,
distributions or allocations.

Section 13.6. Notice of Dissolution

          In the event a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for provisions of
Section 13.1, result in a dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall, within
thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Partners and to all
other parties with whom the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the
discretion of the General Partner) and shall publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general
circulation in each place in which the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in
the discretion of the General Partner).

Section 13.7. Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership

          Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership cash and property as provided in
Section 13.2, the Partnership shall be terminated and the Certificate and all
qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the
State of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the
Partnership shall be taken.

Section 13.8. Reasonable Time for Winding-Up

          A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of
the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.2, in order to
minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement
shall remain in effect between the Partners during the period of liquidation.

Section 13.9. Waiver of Partition

          Each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property.

AMENDMENT OF PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT; CONSENTS

Section 14.1. Amendments

          A. The actions requiring consent or approval of the Partners or of the Limited Partners
pursuant to this Agreement, including Sections 7.3, 17.6 and 22.6, or otherwise pursuant to
applicable law, are subject to the procedures in this Article 14.

          B. Amendments to this Agreement requiring the consent or approval of Limited Partners may be
proposed by the General Partner or by Limited Partners holding twenty-five percent (25%) or more of
the Partnership Interests held by Limited Partners entitled to consent to or approve such matter.
Following such proposal, the General Partner shall submit any proposed amendment to the Partners or
to the Limited Partners entitled to consent to or approve such amendment, as applicable. The
General Partner shall seek the written consent or approval of the Partners or the Limited Partners
entitled to consent to or approve the proposed amendment or shall call a meeting to vote thereon
and to transact any other business that it may deem appropriate. For purposes of obtaining a
written consent, the General Partner may require a response within a reasonable specified time, but
not less than fifteen (15) days, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a
consent which is consistent with the General Partner’s recommendation (if so recommended); provided
that, an action shall become effective at such time as requisite consents are received even if
prior to such specified time.

Section 14.2. Action by the Partners

          A. Meetings of the Partners may be called by the General Partner and shall be called upon the
receipt by the General Partner of a written request by Limited Partners holding twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the Partnership Interests held by the Limited Partners that are entitled to vote
on the matters proposed to be voted on at such meeting. The call shall state the nature of the
business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Partners not less than
seven days nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such meeting. Partners may vote in
person or by proxy at such meeting. Whenever the vote of the Percentage Interests or Common
Percentage Interests, as the case may be, of the Partners, or the Consent of the Partners or
Consent of the Limited Partners is permitted or required under this Agreement, such vote or Consent
may be given at a meeting of Partners or may be given in accordance with the procedure prescribed
in Section 14.1.

          B. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken
without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by the
Percentage Interests or Common Percentage Interests, as the case may be, as is expressly required
by this Agreement for the action in question. Such consent may be in one instrument or in several
instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of the Percentage Interests or
Common Percentage Interests, as the case may be, of the Partners (expressly required by this
Agreement). Such consent shall be filed with the General Partner. An action so taken shall be
deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified.

          C. Each Limited Partner may authorize any Person or Persons to act for him by proxy on all
matters in which a Limited Partner is entitled to participate, including waiving

64

 

notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by
the Limited Partner or his attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of
eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall
be revocable at the pleasure of the Limited Partner executing it.

          D. Each meeting of Partners shall be conducted by the General Partner or such other Person as
the General Partner may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the
General Partner or such other Person deems appropriate.

          E. Except as otherwise expressly provided, on matters on which Limited Partners are entitled
to vote, each Limited Partner shall have a vote equal to the number of Partnership Units held.

ARTICLE 16.

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

ARTICLE 17.

SERIES D PREFERRED UNITS

Section 17.1. Designation and Number

          A series of Partnership Units in the Partnership designated as the 7.18% Series D Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Units (the “Series D Preferred Units”) is hereby established. The
number of Series D Preferred Units shall be 1,595,337.

Section 17.2. Ranking

          The Series D Preferred Units shall, with respect to distribution rights and rights upon
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Partnership, rank (i) senior
to the Common Units and to all Partnership Units the terms of which provide that such Partnership
Units shall rank junior to the Series D Preferred Units; (ii) on a parity with all other Parity
Preferred Units; and (iii) junior to all Partnership Units which rank senior to the Series D
Preferred Units.

Section 17.3. Distributions

          A. Payment of Distributions. Subject to the rights of holders of Parity Preferred
Units as to the payment of distributions (including pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 22.3A
hereof), holders of Series D Preferred Units will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared
by the Partnership acting through the General Partner, out of Available Cash, cumulative
preferential cash distributions in an amount equal to the Series D Priority Return. Such
distributions will be payable (A) quarterly (such quarterly periods for purposes of payment and
accrual will be the quarterly periods ending on the dates specified in this sentence and not
calendar year quarters) in arrears, on the 25th day of March, June, September and December of each
year and (B) in the event of (i) an exchange of Series D Preferred Units into Series D Preferred
Shares, or (ii) a redemption of Series D Preferred Units, on the exchange date or redemption date,
as applicable (each a “Series D Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date”), commencing on
the first of such payment dates to occur following their original date of issuance. If any date on
which distributions are to be made on the Series D Preferred Units is not a Business Day, then
payment of the distribution to be made on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is
a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except
that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on
the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on
such date. Distributions on the Series D Preferred Units will be made to the holders of record of
the Series D Preferred Units on the relevant record dates, which will be fifteen (15) days prior to
the relevant Series D Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date (the “Series D Preferred Unit
Partnership Record Date”). For purposes of clarifying the relative distribution priority
rights among the Series I Preferred Units and the Series D Preferred Units, the payment of
distributions with respect to a series of such Preferred Units prior to the payment of
distributions with respect to another such series of Preferred Units, solely as a result of the

67

 

distribution payment dates with respect to a series of Preferred Units occurring on a
different date from another series of Preferred Units, shall not be deemed to create a priority in
favor of one series of Preferred Units over any other series of Preferred Units.

          B. Distributions Cumulative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions on the
Series D Preferred Units will accrue whether or not the terms and provisions of any agreement of
the Partnership at any time prohibit the current payment of distributions, whether or not the
Partnership has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such
distributions and whether or not such distributions are authorized. Accrued but unpaid
distributions on the Series D Preferred Units will accumulate as of the Preferred Unit Distribution
Payment Date on which they first become payable.

          C. Priority as to Distributions. (i) So long as any Series D Preferred Units are
outstanding, no distribution of cash or other property shall be authorized, declared, paid or set
apart for payment on or with respect to any class or series of Partnership Interest represented by
Junior Units, nor shall any Junior Units or Parity Preferred Units be redeemed, purchased or
otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking
fund for the redemption of any such Junior Units or Parity Preferred Units) by the Partnership
(except by conversion into or exchange for other Junior Units or Parity Preferred Units, as the
case may be) unless, in each case, full cumulative distributions have been or contemporaneously are
authorized and paid or authorized and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such
payment on the Series D Preferred Units and all classes and series of outstanding Parity Preferred
Units for all distribution periods. The foregoing sentence will not prohibit (a) distributions
payable solely in Junior Units, (b) the exchange of Junior Units or Parity Preferred Units into
Partnership Interests of the Partnership ranking junior to the Series D Preferred Units as to
distributions and upon voluntary and involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Partnership, or (c) distributions necessary to enable the Operating Partnership to redeem
partnership interests corresponding to Series D Preferred Shares and any Parity Preferred Stock
with respect to distributions or Junior Stock to be purchased by AMB pursuant to the REIT Charter
to preserve AMB’s status as a REIT; provided that such redemption shall be upon the same terms as
the corresponding stock purchase pursuant to the REIT Charter.

          (ii) So long as distributions have not been paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full
payment is not so set apart) upon the Series D Preferred Units and any other Parity Preferred
Units, all distributions authorized and declared on the Series D Preferred Units and all classes or
series of outstanding Parity Preferred Units shall be authorized and declared pro rata so that the
amount of distributions authorized and declared per Series D Preferred Unit and such other classes
or series of Parity Preferred Units shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that
accrued distributions per Series D Preferred Unit and such other classes or series of Parity
Preferred Units (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for
prior distribution periods if such class or series of Parity Preferred Units do not have cumulative
distribution rights) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall
be payable in respect of any distributions or payments on Series D Preferred Units which may be in
arrears.

          (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, distributions on Partnership
Interests held by either (a) the General Partner, (b) the Operating Partnership or any other holder
of Partnership Interests in the Partnership, in each case ranking junior to or on parity

68

 

with the Series D Preferred Units may be made, without preserving the priority of
distributions described in Sections 17.3.C(i) and (ii), but only to the extent such
distributions are required to preserve the REIT status of AMB, in its capacity as the indirect
owner of 100% of the equity interests of the General Partner and as the sole general partner of the
Operating Partnership, and in the case of any holder other than the General Partner only to the
extent required by the Partnership Agreement; provided, that the Partnership shall not be
disproportionately burdened by this provision relative to the cash flow generated by other assets
owned directly or indirectly by AMB.

          D. No Further Rights. Holders of Series D Preferred Units shall not be entitled to
any distributions, whether payable in cash, other property or otherwise, in excess of the full
cumulative distributions described herein.

Section 17.4. Liquidation Proceeds

          A. Distributions. Upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the Partnership, distributions on the Series D Preferred Units shall be made in
accordance with Article 13 of this Agreement.

          B. Notice. Written notice of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place
or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given
by the General Partner pursuant to Section 13.6 hereof.

          C. No Further Rights. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating
distributions to which they are entitled, Holders of Series D Preferred Units will have no right or
claim to any of the remaining assets of the Partnership.

          D. Consolidation, Merger or Certain Other Transactions. None of a consolidation or
merger of the Partnership with or into another entity, a merger of another entity with or into the
Partnership, or a sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the
Partnership’s property or business shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Partnership.

Section 17.5. Series D Redemption

          A. Series D Redemption. The Series D Preferred Units may not be redeemed prior to
February 22, 2012. On or after such date, the Partnership shall have the right to redeem the
Series D Preferred Units, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than
30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, at a redemption price, payable in cash (a “Series D
Redemption”), equal to the Capital Account balance of the holder of Series D Preferred Units
(the “Series D Redemption Price”); provided, however, that no redemption pursuant to this
Section 17.5 will be permitted if the Series D Redemption Price does not equal or exceed
the original Capital Contribution of such holder plus the cumulative Series D Priority Return to
the redemption date to the extent not previously distributed. If fewer than all of the outstanding
Series D Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the Series D Preferred Units to be redeemed shall be
selected pro rata (as nearly as practicable without creating fractional units).

69

 

          B. Limitation on Series D Redemption. The Partnership may not redeem fewer than all
of the outstanding Series D Preferred Units unless all accumulated and unpaid distributions have
been paid on all Series D Preferred Units for all quarterly distribution periods terminating on or
prior to the date of redemption.

          C. Procedures for Series D Redemption. (i) Notice of redemption will be (i) faxed,
and (ii) mailed by the Partnership, by certified mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of the
Series D Preferred Units at their respective addresses as they appear on the records of the
Partnership. No failure to give or defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any Series D Preferred Units except as to the holder to whom such
notice was defective or not given. In addition to any information required by law, each such
notice shall state: (a) the redemption date, (b) the Series D Redemption Price, (c) the aggregate
number of Series D Preferred Units to be redeemed and if fewer than all of the outstanding Series D
Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the number of Series D Preferred Units to be redeemed held by
such holder, which number shall equal such holder’s pro rata share (based on the percentage of the
aggregate number of outstanding Series D Preferred Units that the total number of Series D
Preferred Units held by such holder represents) of the aggregate number of Series D Preferred Units
to be redeemed, (d) the place or places where such Series D Preferred Units are to be surrendered
for payment of the Series D Redemption Price, (e) that distributions on the Series D Preferred
Units to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such redemption date and (f) that payment of the
Series D Redemption Price will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series D Preferred
Units.

          (ii) If the Partnership gives a notice of redemption in respect of Series D Preferred Units
(which notice will be irrevocable) then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption date,
the Partnership will deposit irrevocably in trust for the benefit of the Series D Preferred Units
being redeemed funds sufficient to pay the applicable Series D Redemption Price and will give
irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such Series D Redemption Price to the holders of the
Series D Preferred Units upon surrender of the Series D Preferred Units by such holders at the
place designated in the notice of redemption. On and after the date of redemption, distributions
will cease to accumulate on the Series D Preferred Units or portions thereof called for redemption,
unless the Partnership defaults in the payment thereof. If any date fixed for redemption of Series
D Preferred Units is not a Business Day, then payment of the Series D Redemption Price payable on
such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest
or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next
calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case
with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the
Series D Redemption Price is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by the Partnership,
distributions on such Series D Preferred Units will continue to accumulate from the original
redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered
the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the applicable Series D Redemption Price.

70

 

Section 17.6. Voting and Certain Management Rights

          A. General. Holders of the Series D Preferred Units will not have any voting rights
or right to consent to any matter requiring the consent or approval of the Limited Partners, except
as set forth below and in Section 7.3.E.

          B. Certain Voting Rights. So long as any Series D Preferred Units remains
outstanding, the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds of the Series D Preferred Units outstanding at the time (i) authorize or create, or
increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of Partnership Interests ranking
prior to the Series D Preferred Units with respect to payment of distributions or rights upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or reclassify any Partnership Interests of the Partnership
into any such Partnership Interest, or create, authorize or issue any obligations or security
convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such Partnership Interests, (ii) authorize
or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of any Parity Preferred Units or reclassify
any Partnership Interest of the Partnership into any such Partnership Interest or create, authorize
or issue any obligations or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such
Partnership Interests but only to the extent such Parity Preferred Units are issued to an affiliate
of the Partnership, other than AMB or the Operating Partnership to the extent the issuance of such
interests was to allow AMB or the Operating Partnership to issue corresponding preferred stock or
preferred interests to persons who are not affiliates of the Partnership (other than AMB to the
extent AMB issues corresponding preferred stock to persons who are not affiliates of the
Partnership or the Operating Partnership) or (iii) either consolidate, merge into or with, or
convey, transfer or lease its assets substantially as an entirety to, any corporation or other
entity or amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Partnership Agreement (including, without
limitation, this Article 17 and Section 11.2), whether by merger, consolidation or
otherwise, in each case in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the powers, special
rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series D Preferred Units or the holders
thereof; provided, however, that with respect to the occurrence of any event set forth in (iii)
above, so long as (a) the Partnership is the surviving entity and the Series D Preferred Units
remain outstanding with the terms thereof unchanged, or (b) the resulting, surviving or transferee
entity is a partnership, limited liability company or other pass-through entity organized under the
laws of any state and substitutes the Series D Preferred Units for other interests in such entity
having substantially the same terms and rights as the Series D Preferred Units, including with
respect to distributions, voting rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up,
then the occurrence of any such event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such
rights, privileges or voting powers of the holders of the Series D Preferred Units; and provided
further, that any increase in the amount of Partnership Interests or the creation or issuance of
any other class or series of Partnership Interests represented by Junior Units or Parity Preferred
Units that are not issued to an affiliate of the Partnership, other than the General Partner or the
Operating Partnership to the extent the issuance of such interests was to allow the General Partner
or the Operating Partnership to issue corresponding preferred stock or preferred interests to
persons who are not affiliates of the Partnership (other than AMB to the extent AMB issues
corresponding preferred stock or preferred interests to persons who are not affiliates of the
Partnership or the Operating Partnership), shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect
such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers.

71

 

          C. So long as any Series D Preferred Units remain outstanding, the General Partner shall not,
without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Series D Preferred Units
outstanding at the time, take any action which would result in the termination of the right of the
holders of such units to effect an exchange pursuant to Section 17.8; provided however, no
such vote shall be required so long as the Series D Preferred Units (or any interests substituted
therefore pursuant to Section 17.6.B) remain outstanding and are exchangeable for Series D
Preferred Shares or stock in another entity having substantially the same terms and rights as the
Series D Preferred Shares.

          D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the provisions of Article 7 regarding the management rights and
responsibilities of the General Partner, whenever distributions on any Series D Preferred Units
shall remain unpaid for six or more quarterly periods (i.e., the quarterly periods ending on the
25th day of each March, June, September and December, or, if not a business day, the next
succeeding business day, beginning with the quarterly period ending June 25, 1999) (whether or not
consecutive), the holders of 51% of either (i) such Series D Preferred Units, in the event that the
holders of the Series I Preferred Units are not entitled to exercise management rights pursuant to
Section 22.6D and that no Future Parity Preferred Unitholders (as defined below) are
entitled to exercise management rights similar to those to which the holders of Series D Preferred
Units and Series I Preferred Units are entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 17.6.D
and Section 22.6D, respectively, or (ii) the Parity Preferred Capital, in the event that
holders of the Series I Preferred Units are entitled to exercise management rights pursuant to
Section 22.6D, or Future Parity Preferred Unitholders are entitled to exercise management
rights similar to those to which the holders of Series D Preferred Units and Series I Preferred
Units are entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 17.6.D and Section 22.6D,
respectively, shall be entitled to assume rights to manage the Partnership and perform actions
related thereto for the sole purpose of enforcing the Partnership’s rights and remedies as against
obligees of the Partnership or other Persons from whom the Partnership may be entitled to receive
cash or other assets, until all distributions accumulated on the Series D Preferred Units for all
past quarterly periods and the distribution for the then-current quarterly period shall have been
fully-paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof irrevocably set aside in trust
for payment in full; provided, however, that no such holder or holders of Series D Preferred Units
may at any time take any action (or fail to take any action) if the consequence of such action (or
inaction) would be (i) to cause AMB to fail to qualify as a REIT for federal or applicable state
income tax purposes or (ii) to cause the Partnership or the Operating Partnership to fail to
qualify as a partnership for federal or applicable state income tax purposes, or (iii) to cause the
Partnership, the Operating Partnership, the General Partner, or AMB to be considered an “investment
company” as defined in, or otherwise be subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended; and provided, further, that solely for purposes of exercising the management
rights set forth in this Section 17.6.D, each holder of Series D Preferred Units shall be
deemed an Indemnitee, and shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnification provisions of
Section 7.7 with respect to any and all action(s) taken (or failure(s) to act) by a holder
of Series D Preferred Units in the exercise of (or failure(s) to exercise) the management rights
described in this Section 17.6.D, including, without limitation, alleged breaches of the
General Partner’s fiduciary duty to the Partners; and provided further, that the holders of the
Series D Preferred Units acknowledge and agree that the General Partner and the Partnership shall
be entitled to provide similar management rights to holders of Parity Preferred Units that are
issued by the Partnership following the date hereof (“Future Parity Preferred Unitholders
”).

72

 

Section 17.7. Transfer Restrictions

          The Series D Preferred Units shall be subject to the provisions of Article 11 hereof.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, no transfer of Series D Preferred Units, or
other action by the holder or holders of such Units, is permitted, without the consent of the
General Partner which consent may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, if such
transfer or other action would result in more than four partners holding all outstanding Series D
Preferred Units and Series I Preferred Units within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) (without regard to Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)(ii)); provided,
however, that the General Partner’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld if (a) such transfer
or other action would not result in more than ten partners holding all outstanding Series D
Preferred Units and Series I Preferred Units within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) (without regard to Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)(ii)) and (b) the
General Partner cannot rely on Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h). In addition, no transfer
may be made to any person if such transfer would cause the exchange of the Series D Preferred Units
for Series D Preferred Shares, as provided herein, to be required to be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws.

Section 17.8. Exchange Rights

          A. Right to Exchange. (i) Series D Preferred Units will be exchangeable in whole but
not in part unless expressly otherwise provided herein at anytime on or after May 5, 2009, at the
option of 51% of the holders of all outstanding Series D Preferred Units, for authorized but
previously unissued Series D Preferred Shares at an exchange rate of one Series D Preferred Share
from AMB for one Series D Preferred Unit, subject to adjustment as described below (the “Series
D Exchange Price”); provided that the Series D Preferred Units will become exchangeable at any
time, in whole but not in part unless expressly otherwise provided herein, at the option of 51% of
the holders of all outstanding Series D Preferred Units for Series D Preferred Shares if (y) at any
time full distributions shall not have been timely made on any Series D Preferred Unit with respect
to six (6) prior quarterly distribution periods, whether or not consecutive; provided, however,
that a distribution in respect of Series D Preferred Units shall be considered timely made if made
within two (2) Business Days after the applicable Series D Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date
if at the time of such late payment there shall not be any prior quarterly distribution periods in
respect of which full distributions were not timely made or (z) upon receipt by a holder or holders
of Series D Preferred Units of (A) notice from the General Partner that the General Partner or a
Subsidiary of the General Partner has taken the position that the Partnership is, or upon the
consummation of an identified event in the immediate future will be, a “publicly traded
partnership” within the meaning of Code Section 7704 (a “PTP”) and (B) an opinion rendered
by independent counsel familiar with such matters addressed to a holder or holders of Series D
Preferred Units, that the Partnership is or likely is, or upon the occurrence of a defined event in
the immediate future will be or likely will be, a PTP. In addition, the Series D Preferred Units
may be exchanged for Series D Preferred Shares, in whole but not in part unless expressly otherwise
provided herein, at the option of 51% of the holders of all outstanding Series D Preferred Units
after May 5, 2002 and prior to May 5, 2009 if such holders of a Series D Preferred Units shall
deliver to the General Partner either (i) a private letter ruling addressed to such holder of
Series D Preferred Units or (ii) an opinion of independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the
General Partner based on a change in statute, the enactment of temporary or final Treasury
Regulations or the publication of a Revenue Ruling

73

 

or any other IRS release, in either case to the effect that an exchange of the Series D
Preferred Units at such earlier time would not cause the Series D Preferred Units to be considered
“stock and securities” within the meaning of Section 351(e) of the Code for purposes of determining
whether the holder of such Series D Preferred Units is an “investment company” under Section 721(b)
of the Code if an exchange is permitted at such earlier date.

          (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 17.8.A(i), if a
Series D Exchange Notice (as defined herein) has been delivered to AMB and the General Partner,
then the General Partner may, at its option, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the
Series D Exchange Notice, elect to cause the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the
outstanding Series D Preferred Units for cash in an amount equal to the original Capital
Contribution per Series D Preferred Unit and all accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the
date of redemption. If the General Partner elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding
Series D Preferred Units, the number of Series D Preferred Units held by each holder to be redeemed
shall equal such holder’s pro rata share (based on the percentage of the aggregate number of
outstanding Series D Preferred Units that the total number of Series D Preferred Units held by such
holder represents) of the aggregate number of Series D Preferred Units being redeemed.

          (iii) In the event an exchange of all Series D Preferred Units pursuant to Section
17.8.A would violate the provisions on ownership limitation of AMB set forth in Section 7 of
Article Third of the Series D Articles Supplementary, each holder of Series D Preferred Units shall
be entitled to exchange, pursuant to the provisions of Section 17.8.B, a number of Series D
Preferred Units which would comply with the provisions on the ownership limitation of AMB set forth
in such Section 7 of Article Third of the Series D Articles Supplementary, with respect to such
holder, and any Series D Preferred Units not so exchanged (the “Series D Excess Units”)
shall be redeemed by the Partnership for cash in an amount equal to the original Capital
Contribution per Series D Excess Unit, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the
date of redemption subject to any restriction thereon contained in any debt instrument or agreement
of the Partnership. In the event an exchange would result in Series D Excess Units, as a condition
to such exchange, each holder of such units agrees to provide representations and covenants
reasonably requested by AMB relating to (i) the widely held nature of the interests in such holder,
sufficient to assure AMB that the holder’s ownership of stock of AMB (without regard to the limits
described above) will not cause any individual to own in excess of 9.0% of the stock of AMB; and
(ii) to the extent such Holder can so represent and covenant without obtaining information from its
owners (other than one or more direct or indirect parent corporations, limited liability companies
or partnerships and not the holders of any interests in any such parent), the Holder’s ownership of
tenants of the Partnership and its affiliates. For purposes of determining the number of Series D
Excess Units under this Section 17.8.A(iii), the “Ownership Limit” set forth in the
Series D Articles Supplementary shall be deemed to be 9.0%. To the extent the Partnership would
not be able to pay the cash set forth above in exchange for the Series D Excess Units, and to the
extent consistent with the REIT Charter, AMB agrees that it will grant to the holders of the Series
D Preferred Units exceptions to the Ownership Limit set forth in the Series D Articles
Supplementary sufficient to allow such Holders to exchange all of their Series D Preferred Units
for Series D Preferred Shares; provided such holders furnish to AMB representations acceptable to
AMB in its sole and absolute discretion which assure AMB that such exceptions will not jeopardize
AMB’s tax status as a REIT for purposes of federal and applicable state law. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Series

74

 

D Limited Partner shall be entitled to effect an exchange of Series D Preferred Units for
Series D Preferred Shares to the extent that ownership or right to acquire such shares would cause
the Partner or any other Person or, in the opinion of counsel selected by AMB, may cause the
Partner or any other Person, to violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of Series D
Preferred Shares set forth in the REIT Charter. To the extent any such attempted exchange for
Series D Preferred Shares would be in violation of the previous sentence, it shall be void ab
initio and such Series D Limited Partner shall not acquire any rights or economic interest in the
Series D Preferred Shares otherwise issuable upon such exchange.

          (iv) The redemption of Series D Preferred Units described in Section 17.8.A(ii) and
(iii) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 17.5.B(i) and Section
17.5.C(ii); provided, however, that the term “Series D Redemption Price” in such
Sections 17.5.B(i) and 17.5.C(ii) shall be read to mean the original Capital Contribution
per Series D Preferred Unit being redeemed as set forth on Exhibit A plus all accrued and
unpaid distributions to the redemption date.

          B. Procedure for Exchange of Series D Preferred Units and/or Series D Redemption.

          (i) Any exchange shall be exercised pursuant to a notice of exchange (the “Series D
Exchange Notice”) delivered to AMB and the General Partner by the Partners representing at
least 51% of the outstanding Series D Preferred Units (or by the Series D Contributor in the case
of an exchange pursuant to the last sentence of Section 17.8.A.(i) hereof) by (a) fax and
(b) by certified mail postage prepaid. AMB may effect any exchange of Series D Preferred Units, or
the General Partner may exercise its option to cause the Partnership to redeem any portion of the
Series D Preferred Units for cash pursuant to Section 17.8.A(ii) or redeem Series D Excess
Units pursuant to Section 17.8.A(iii), by delivering to each holder of record of Series D
Preferred Units, within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the Series D Exchange Notice,
(a) if the General Partner elects to cause the Partnership to acquire any of the Series D Preferred
Units then outstanding, (1) certificates representing the Series D Preferred Shares being issued in
exchange for the Series D Preferred Units of such holder being exchanged and (2) a written notice
(a “Series D Redemption Notice”) stating (A) the redemption date, which may be the date of
such Series D Redemption Notice or any other date which is not later than sixty (60) days following
the receipt of the Series D Exchange Notice, (B) the redemption price, (C) the place or places
where the Series D Preferred Units are to be surrendered and (D) that distributions on the Series D
Preferred Units will cease to accrue on such redemption date, or (b) if the General Partner elects
to cause the Partnership to redeem all of the Series D Preferred Units then outstanding in exchange
for cash, a Series D Redemption Notice. Series D Preferred Units which are redeemed shall be
deemed canceled (and any corresponding Partnership Interest represented thereby deemed terminated)
on the redemption date. Holders of Series D Preferred Units shall deliver any canceled
certificates representing Series D Preferred Units which have been exchanged or redeemed to the
office of General Partner (which currently is located at Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco, California
94111) within ten (10) Business Days of the exchange or redemption with respect thereto.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any and all Series D Preferred Units to
be exchanged for Series D Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 17.8 shall be so
exchanged in a single transaction at one time. As a condition to exchange, AMB may require the
holders of Series D Preferred Units to make such representations as may be reasonably necessary for
the General Partner to establish that the

75

 

issuance of Series D Preferred Shares pursuant to the exchange shall not be required to be
registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Any Series D Preferred Shares
issued pursuant to this Section 17.8 shall be delivered as shares which are duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or
restriction other than those provided in the REIT Charter, the Bylaws of AMB, the Securities Act
and relevant state securities or blue sky laws.

          The certificates representing the Series D Preferred Shares issued upon exchange of the Series
D Preferred Units shall contain the following legend:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED,
SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR (B) IF THE CORPORATION HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH A
SATISFACTORY OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THE SHARES
REPRESENTED HEREBY, OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE
CORPORATION, THAT SUCH TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE,
HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF
SECTION 5 OF THE ACT AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE RULES AND
REGULATIONS THEREUNDER.

          (ii) In the event of an exchange of Series D Preferred Units for Series D Preferred Shares, an
amount equal to the accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of exchange on any Series D
Preferred Units tendered for exchange shall (i) accrue on the Series D Preferred Shares into which
such Series D Preferred Units are exchanged, and (ii) continue to accrue on such Series D Preferred
Units, which shall remain outstanding following such exchange, with the General Partner as the
holder of such Series D Preferred Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
in no event shall a Holder of a Series D Preferred Unit that was validly exchanged for Series D
Preferred Shares pursuant to this section (other than the General Partner holding such Series D
Preferred Unit following any such exchange), receive a distribution out of Available Cash of the
Partnership, if such Holder, after exchange, is entitled to receive a distribution with respect to
the Series D Preferred Shares for which such Series D Preferred Unit was exchanged or redeemed.
Further for purposes of the foregoing, in the event of an exchange of Series D Preferred Units for
Series D Preferred Shares, if the accrued and unpaid distributions per Series D Preferred Unit is
not the same for each Series D Preferred Unit, the accrued and unpaid distributions per Series D
Preferred Unit for each such Series D Preferred Unit shall be equal to the greatest amount of such
accrued and unpaid distributions per Series D Preferred Unit on any such unit.

          (iii) Fractional Series D Preferred Shares are not to be issued upon exchange but, in lieu
thereof, the General Partner will pay a cash adjustment based upon the fair market value of the
Series D Preferred Shares on the day prior to the exchange date as determined in good faith by the
General Partner.

76

 

          C. Adjustment of Series D Exchange Price. In case AMB shall be a party to any
transaction (including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange,
tender offer for all or substantially all of AMB’s capital stock or sale of all or substantially
all of AMB’s assets), in each case as a result of which the Series D Preferred Shares will be
converted into the right to receive shares of capital stock, other securities or other property
(including cash or any combination thereof), each Series D Preferred Unit will thereafter be
exchangeable into the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and property
receivable (including cash or any combination thereof) upon the consummation of such transaction by
a holder of that number of Series D Preferred Shares or fraction thereof into which one Series D
Preferred Unit was exchangeable immediately prior to such transaction. AMB may not become a party
to any such transaction unless the terms thereof are consistent with the foregoing. AMB and the
Operating Partnership further agree that, notwithstanding any transaction to which either may be a
party (including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, tender
offer for all or substantially all of such entity’s capital stock or partnership interests or sale
of all or substantially all of such entity’s assets), immediately following any such transaction,
the issuer or issuers of any shares of capital stock and other securities into which the Series D
Preferred Units shall be exchangeable pursuant to this Section 17.8 shall be the same
issuer or issuers of shares of capital stock and other securities into which the Series B Preferred
Units are then exchangeable (or, if the Series B Preferred Units have previously been redeemed in
full, would have been then exchangeable if then still outstanding).

Section 17.9. No Conversion Rights

          The Series D Preferred Units shall not be convertible into any other class or series of
interest in the Partnership.

Section 17.10. No Sinking Fund

          No sinking fund shall be established for the retirement or redemption of Series D Preferred
Units.

SERIES I PREFERRED UNITS

Section 22.1. Designation and Number

     A series of Partnership Units in the Partnership designated as the 8.00% Series I Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Units (the “Series I Preferred Units”) is hereby established. The
number of Series I Preferred Units shall be 510,000.

Section 22.2. Ranking

     The Series I Preferred Units shall, with respect to distribution rights and rights upon
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Partnership, rank (i) senior
to the Common Units and to all Partnership Units the terms of which provide that such Partnership
Units shall rank junior to the Series I Preferred Units; (ii) on a parity with the Series D
Preferred Units and all other Parity Preferred Units; and (iii) junior to all Partnership Units
which rank senior to the Series I Preferred Units.

Section 22.3. Distributions

     A. Payment of Distributions. Subject to the rights of holders of Parity Preferred
Units as to the payment of distributions (including pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 17.3A
hereof), holders of Series I Preferred Units will be entitled to receive, when, as and if
declared by the Partnership acting through the General Partner, out of Available Cash, cumulative
preferential cash distributions in an amount equal to the Series I Priority Return. Such
distributions will be payable (A) quarterly (such quarterly periods for purposes of payment and
accrual will be the quarterly periods ending on the dates specified in this sentence and not
calendar year quarters) in arrears, on the 25th day of March, June, September and December of each
year and (B) in the event of (i) an exchange of Series I Preferred Units into Series I Preferred
Shares, or (ii) a redemption of Series I Preferred Units, on the exchange date or redemption date,
as applicable (each a “Series I Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date”), commencing on
the first of such payment dates to occur following their original date of issuance. If any date on
which distributions are to be made on the Series I Preferred Units is not a Business Day, then
payment of the distribution to be made on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is
a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except
that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on
the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on
such date. Distributions on the Series I Preferred Units will be made to the holders of record of
the Series I Preferred Units on the relevant record dates, which will be fifteen (15) days prior to
the relevant Series I Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date (the “Series I Preferred Unit
Partnership Record Date”). For purposes of clarifying the relative distribution priority
rights among the Series I Preferred Units and the Series D Preferred Units, the payment of
distributions with respect to a series of such Preferred Units prior to the payment of
distributions with respect to another such series of Preferred Units, solely as a result of the
distribution payment dates with respect to a series of Preferred Units occurring on a different
date from another series of Preferred Units, shall not be deemed to create a priority in favor of
one series of Preferred Units over any other series of Preferred Units.

78

 

     B. Distributions Cumulative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions on the
Series I Preferred Units will accrue whether or not the terms and provisions of any agreement of
the Partnership at any time prohibit the current payment of distributions, whether or not the
Partnership has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such
distributions and whether or not such distributions are authorized. Accrued but unpaid
distributions on the Series I Preferred Units will accumulate as of the Preferred Unit Distribution
Payment Date on which they first become payable.

     C. Priority as to Distributions. (i) So long as any Series I Preferred Units are
outstanding, no distribution of cash or other property shall be authorized, declared, paid or set
apart for payment on or with respect to any class or series of Partnership Interest represented by
Junior Units, nor shall any Junior Units or Parity Preferred Units be redeemed, purchased or
otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking
fund for the redemption of any such Junior Units or Parity Preferred Units) by the Partnership
(except by conversion into or exchange for other Junior Units or Parity Preferred Units, as the
case may be) unless, in each case, full cumulative distributions have been or contemporaneously are
authorized and paid or authorized and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such
payment on the Series I Preferred Units and all classes and series of outstanding Parity Preferred
Units for all distribution periods. The foregoing sentence will not prohibit (a) distributions
payable solely in Junior Units, (b) the exchange of Junior Units or Parity Preferred Units into
Partnership Interests of the Partnership ranking junior to the Series I Preferred Units as to
distributions and upon voluntary and involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Partnership, or (c) distributions necessary to enable the Operating Partnership to redeem
partnership interests corresponding to Series I Preferred Shares and any Parity Preferred Stock
with respect to distributions or Junior Stock to be purchased by AMB pursuant to the REIT Charter
to preserve AMB’s status as a REIT; provided that such redemption shall be upon the same terms as
the corresponding stock purchase pursuant to the REIT Charter.

     (ii) So long as distributions have not been paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full
payment is not so set apart) upon the Series I Preferred Units and any other Parity Preferred
Units, all distributions authorized and declared on the Series I Preferred Units and all classes or
series of outstanding Parity Preferred Units shall be authorized and declared pro rata so that the
amount of distributions authorized and declared per Series I Preferred Unit and such other classes
or series of Parity Preferred Units shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that
accrued distributions per Series I Preferred Unit and such other classes or series of Parity
Preferred Units (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for
prior distribution periods if such class or series of Parity Preferred Units do not have cumulative
distribution rights) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall
be payable in respect of any distributions or payments on Series I Preferred Units which may be in
arrears.

     (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, distributions on Partnership
Interests held by either (a) the General Partner, (b) the Operating Partnership or (c) any other
holder of Partnership Interests in the Partnership, in each case ranking junior to or on parity
with the Series I Preferred Units may be made, without preserving the priority of distributions
described in Sections 22.3.C(i) and (ii), but only to the extent such distributions are
required to preserve the REIT status of AMB, in its capacity as the indirect owner of 100% of the
equity interests of the General Partner and as the sole general partner of the Operating

79

 

Partnership, and in the case of any holder other than the General Partner only to the extent
required by the Partnership Agreement; provided, that the Partnership shall not be
disproportionately burdened by this provision relative to the cash flow generated by other assets
owned directly or indirectly by AMB.

     D. No Further Rights. Holders of Series I Preferred Units shall not be entitled to
any distributions, whether payable in cash, other property or otherwise, in excess of the full
cumulative distributions described herein.

Section 22.4. Liquidation Proceeds

     A. Distributions. Upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the Partnership, distributions on the Series I Preferred Units shall be made in
accordance with Article 13 of this Agreement.

     B. Notice. Written notice of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place
or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given
by the General Partner pursuant to Section 13.6 hereof.

     C. No Further Rights. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating
distributions to which they are entitled, Holders of Series I Preferred Units will have no right or
claim to any of the remaining assets of the Partnership.

     D. Consolidation, Merger or Certain Other Transactions. None of a consolidation or
merger of the Partnership with or into another entity, a merger of another entity with or into the
Partnership, or a sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the
Partnership’s property or business shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Partnership.

Section 22.5. Series I Redemption

     A. Series I Redemption. The Series I Preferred Units may not be redeemed prior to
March 21, 2006. On or after such date, the Partnership shall have the right to redeem the Series I
Preferred Units, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days’ written notice, at a redemption price, payable in cash (a “Series I
Redemption”), equal to the Capital Account balance of the holder of Series I Preferred Units
(the “Series I Redemption Price”); provided, however, that no redemption pursuant to this
Section 22.5 will be permitted if the Series I Redemption Price does not equal or exceed
the original Capital Contribution of such holder plus the cumulative Series I Priority Return to
the redemption date to the extent not previously distributed. If fewer than all of the outstanding
Series I Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the Series I Preferred Units to be redeemed shall be
selected pro rata (as nearly as practicable without creating fractional units).

     B. Limitation on Series I Redemption. (i) The Series I Redemption Price of the Series
I Preferred Units (other than the portion thereof consisting of accumulated but unpaid
distributions) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of capital stock of AMB, which will be
contributed by AMB to the General Partner or the Operating Partnership and which in turn will be
contributed by the General Partner or the Operating Partnership to the Partnership as an

80

 

additional capital contribution, or out of the sale of limited partner interests in the
Partnership or the Operating Partnership and from no other source. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, “capital stock” means any equity securities (including Common Stock and Preferred Stock
(as such terms are defined in the REIT Charter), depository shares, interests, participation or
other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than debt securities
convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities) or options to purchase any of the
foregoing.

     (ii) The Partnership may not redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Series I Preferred Units
unless all accumulated and unpaid distributions have been paid on all Series I Preferred Units for
all quarterly distribution periods terminating on or prior to the date of redemption.

     C. Procedures for Series I Redemption. (i) Notice of redemption will be (i) faxed,
and (ii) mailed by the Partnership, by certified mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of the
Series I Preferred Units at their respective addresses as they appear on the records of the
Partnership. No failure to give or defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any Series I Preferred Units except as to the holder to whom such
notice was defective or not given. In addition to any information required by law, each such
notice shall state: (a) the redemption date, (b) the Series I Redemption Price, (c) the aggregate
number of Series I Preferred Units to be redeemed and if fewer than all of the outstanding Series I
Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the number of Series I Preferred Units to be redeemed held by
such holder, which number shall equal such holder’s pro rata share (based on the percentage of the
aggregate number of outstanding Series I Preferred Units that the total number of Series I
Preferred Units held by such holder represents) of the aggregate number of Series I Preferred Units
to be redeemed, (d) the place or places where such Series I Preferred Units are to be surrendered
for payment of the Series I Redemption Price, (e) that distributions on the Series I Preferred
Units to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such redemption date and (f) that payment of the
Series I Redemption Price will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series I Preferred
Units.

     (ii) If the Partnership gives a notice of redemption in respect of Series I Preferred Units
(which notice will be irrevocable) then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption date,
the Partnership will deposit irrevocably in trust for the benefit of the Series I Preferred Units
being redeemed funds sufficient to pay the applicable Series I Redemption Price and will give
irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such Series I Redemption Price to the holders of the
Series I Preferred Units upon surrender of the Series I Preferred Units by such holders at the
place designated in the notice of redemption. On and after the date of redemption, distributions
will cease to accumulate on the Series I Preferred Units or portions thereof called for redemption,
unless the Partnership defaults in the payment thereof. If any date fixed for redemption of Series
I Preferred Units is not a Business Day, then payment of the Series I Redemption Price payable on
such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest
or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next
calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case
with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the
Series I Redemption Price is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by the Partnership,
distributions on such Series I Preferred Units will continue to accumulate from the original
redemption date to the date of payment, in which

81

 

case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of
calculating the applicable Series I Redemption Price.

Section 22.6. Voting and Certain Management Rights

     A. General. Holders of the Series I Preferred Units will not have any voting rights
or right to consent to any matter requiring the consent or approval of the Limited Partners, except
as set forth below and in Section 7.3.E.

     B. Certain Voting Rights. So long as any Series I Preferred Units remains
outstanding, the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds of the Series I Preferred Units outstanding at the time (i) authorize or create, or
increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of Partnership Interests ranking
prior to the Series I Preferred Units with respect to payment of distributions or rights upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or reclassify any Partnership Interests of the Partnership
into any such Partnership Interest, or create, authorize or issue any obligations or security
convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such Partnership Interests, (ii) authorize
or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of any Parity Preferred Units or reclassify
any Partnership Interest of the Partnership into any such Partnership Interest or create, authorize
or issue any obligations or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such
Partnership Interests but only to the extent such Parity Preferred Units are issued to an affiliate
of the Partnership, other than AMB or the Operating Partnership to the extent the issuance of such
interests was to allow AMB or the Operating Partnership to issue corresponding preferred stock or
preferred interests to persons who are not affiliates of the Partnership (other than AMB to the
extent AMB issues corresponding preferred stock to persons who are not affiliates of the
Partnership or the Operating Partnership) or (iii) either consolidate, merge into or with, or
convey, transfer or lease its assets substantially as an entirety to, any corporation or other
entity or amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Partnership Agreement (including, without
limitation, this Article 22 and Section 11.2), whether by merger, consolidation or
otherwise, in each case in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the powers, special
rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series I Preferred Units or the holders
thereof; provided, however, that with respect to the occurrence of any event set forth in (iii)
above, so long as (a) the Partnership is the surviving entity and the Series I Preferred Units
remain outstanding with the terms thereof unchanged, or (b) the resulting, surviving or transferee
entity is a partnership, limited liability company or other pass-through entity organized under the
laws of any state and substitutes the Series I Preferred Units for other interests in such entity
having substantially the same terms and rights as the Series I Preferred Units, including with
respect to distributions, voting rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up,
then the occurrence of any such event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such
rights, privileges or voting powers of the holders of the Series I Preferred Units; and provided
further, that any increase in the amount of Partnership Interests or the creation or issuance of
any other class or series of Partnership Interests represented by Junior Units or Parity Preferred
Units that are not issued to an affiliate of the Partnership, other than the General Partner or the
Operating Partnership to the extent the issuance of such interests was to allow the General Partner
or the Operating Partnership to issue corresponding preferred stock or preferred interests to
persons who are not affiliates of the Partnership (other than AMB to the extent AMB issues
corresponding preferred stock or preferred interests to persons who are not affiliates of the

82

 

Partnership or the Operating Partnership), shall not be deemed to materially and adversely
affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers.

     C. So long as any Series I Preferred Units remain outstanding, the General Partner shall not,
without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Series I Preferred Units
outstanding at the time, take any action which would result in the termination of the right of the
holders of such units to effect an exchange pursuant to Section 22.8; provided however, no
such vote shall be required so long as the Series I Preferred Units (or any interests substituted
therefore pursuant to Section 22.6.B) remain outstanding and are exchangeable for Series I
Preferred Shares or stock in another entity having substantially the same terms and rights as the
Series I Preferred Shares.

     D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the provisions of Article 7 regarding the management rights and
responsibilities of the General Partner, whenever distributions on any Series I Preferred Units
shall remain unpaid for six or more quarterly periods (i.e., the quarterly periods ending on the
25th day of March, June, September and December, or, if not a business day, the next succeeding
business day, beginning with the quarterly period ending March 25, 2001) (whether or not
consecutive), the holders of 51% of either (i) such Series I Preferred Units, in the event that the
holders of the Series D Preferred Units are not entitled to exercise management rights pursuant to
Section 17.6D and that no Future Parity Preferred Unitholders are entitled to exercise
management rights similar to those to which the holders of Series D Preferred Units and Series I
Preferred Units are entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 17.6D and this Section
22.6.D, respectively, or (ii) the Parity Preferred Capital, in the event that holders of Series
D Preferred Units are entitled to exercise management rights pursuant to Section 17.6D or
Future Parity Preferred Unitholders are entitled to exercise management rights similar to those to
which the holders of Series D Preferred Units and Series I Preferred Units are entitled to exercise
pursuant to Section 17.6D and this Section 22.6.D, respectively, shall be entitled
to assume rights to manage the Partnership and perform actions related thereto for the sole purpose
of enforcing the Partnership’s rights and remedies as against obligees of the Partnership or other
Persons from whom the Partnership may be entitled to receive cash or other assets, until all
distributions accumulated on the Series I Preferred Units for all past quarterly periods and the
distribution for the then-current quarterly period shall have been fully-paid or declared and a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof irrevocably set aside in trust for payment in full; provided,
however, that no such holder or holders of Series I Preferred Units may at any time take any action
(or fail to take any action) if the consequence of such action (or inaction) would be (i) to cause
AMB to fail to qualify as a REIT for federal or applicable state income tax purposes or (ii) to
cause the Partnership or the Operating Partnership to fail to qualify as a partnership for federal
or applicable state income tax purposes, or (iii) to cause the Partnership, the Operating
Partnership, the General Partner, or AMB to be considered an “investment company” as defined in, or
otherwise be subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and
provided, further, that solely for purposes of exercising the management rights set forth in this
Section 22.6.D, each holder of Series I Preferred Units shall be deemed an Indemnitee, and
shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnification provisions of Section 7.7 with
respect to any and all action(s) taken (or failure(s) to act) by a holder of Series I Preferred
Units in the exercise of (or failure(s) to exercise) the management rights described in this
Section 22.6.D, including, without limitation, alleged breaches of the General Partner’s
fiduciary duty to the Partners; and provided further, that the holders of the Series I Preferred
Units acknowledge and agree that the

83

 

General Partner and the Partnership have provided similar management rights to the holders of
the Series D Preferred Units and shall be entitled to provide similar management rights to Future
Parity Preferred Unitholders.

Section 22.7. Transfer Restrictions

     The Series I Preferred Units shall be subject to the provisions of Article 11 hereof.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, no transfer of Series I Preferred Units, or
other action by the holder or holders of such Units, is permitted without the consent of the
General Partner which consent may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, if such
transfer or other action would result in more than four partners holding all outstanding Series D
Preferred Units and Series I Preferred Units within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) (without regard to Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)(ii)); provided,
however, that the General Partner’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld if (a) such transfer
or other action would not result in more than ten partners holding all outstanding Series D
Preferred Units and Series I Preferred Units within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) (without regard to Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)(ii)) and (b) the
General Partner cannot rely on Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h). In addition, no transfer
may be made to any person if such transfer would cause the exchange of the Series I Preferred Units
for Series I Preferred Shares, as provided herein, to be required to be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws.

Section 22.8. Exchange Rights

     A. Right to Exchange. (i) Series I Preferred Units will be exchangeable in whole but
not in part unless expressly otherwise provided herein at anytime on or after March 21, 2011, at
the option of 51% of the holders of all outstanding Series I Preferred Units, for authorized but
previously unissued Series I Preferred Shares at an exchange rate of one Series I Preferred Share
from AMB for one Series I Preferred Unit, subject to adjustment as described below (the “Series
I Exchange Price”); provided that the Series I Preferred Units will become exchangeable at any
time, in whole but not in part unless expressly otherwise provided herein, at the option of 51% of
the holders of all outstanding Series I Preferred Units for Series I Preferred Shares if (y) at any
time full distributions shall not have been timely made on any Series I Preferred Unit with respect
to six (6) prior quarterly distribution periods, whether or not consecutive; provided, however,
that a distribution in respect of Series I Preferred Units shall be considered timely made if made
within two (2) Business Days after the applicable Series I Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date
if at the time of such late payment there shall not be any prior quarterly distribution periods in
respect of which full distributions were not timely made or (z) upon receipt by a holder or holders
of Series I Preferred Units of (A) notice from the General Partner that the General Partner or a
Subsidiary of the General Partner has taken the position that the Partnership is, or upon the
consummation of an identified event in the immediate future will be, a PTP and (B) an opinion
rendered by independent counsel familiar with such matters addressed to a holder or holders of
Series I Preferred Units, that the Partnership is or likely is, or upon the occurrence of a defined
event in the immediate future will be or likely will be, a PTP.

     In addition, the Series I Preferred Units may be exchanged for Series I Preferred Shares, in
whole but not in part unless expressly otherwise provided herein, at the option of 51%

84

 

of the holders of all outstanding Series I Preferred Units after March 21, 2004 and prior to March
21, 2011 if such holders of a Series I Preferred Units shall deliver to the General Partner either
(i) a private letter ruling addressed to such holder of Series I Preferred Units or (ii) an opinion
of independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the General Partner based on a change in statute,
the enactment of temporary or final Treasury Regulations or the publication of a Revenue Ruling or
any other IRS release, in either case to the effect that an exchange of the Series I Preferred
Units at such earlier time would not cause the Series I Preferred Units to be considered “stock and
securities” within the meaning of Section 351(e) of the Code for purposes of determining whether
the holder of such Series I Preferred Units is an “investment company” under Section 721(b) of the
Code if an exchange is permitted at such earlier date.

     (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 22.8.A(i), if a
Series I Exchange Notice (as defined herein) has been delivered to AMB and the General Partner,
then the General Partner may, at its option, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the
Series I Exchange Notice, elect to cause the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the
outstanding Series I Preferred Units for cash in an amount equal to the original Capital
Contribution per Series I Preferred Unit and all accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the
date of redemption. If the General Partner elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding
Series I Preferred Units, the number of Series I Preferred Units held by each holder to be redeemed
shall equal such holder’s pro rata share (based on the percentage of the aggregate number of
outstanding Series I Preferred Units that the total number of Series I Preferred Units held by such
holder represents) of the aggregate number of Series I Preferred Units being redeemed.

     (iii) In the event an exchange of all Series I Preferred Units pursuant to Section
22.8.A would violate the provisions on ownership limitation of AMB set forth in Section 7 of
Article Third of the Series I Articles Supplementary, each holder of Series I Preferred Units shall
be entitled to exchange, pursuant to the provisions of Section 22.8.B, a number of Series I
Preferred Units which would comply with the provisions on the ownership limitation of AMB set forth
in such Section 7 of Article Third of the Series I Articles Supplementary, with respect to such
holder, and any Series I Preferred Units not so exchanged (the “Series I Excess Units”)
shall be redeemed by the Partnership for cash in an amount equal to the original Capital
Contribution per Series I Excess Unit, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the
date of redemption subject to any restriction thereon contained in any debt instrument or agreement
of the Partnership. In the event an exchange would result in Series I Excess Units, as a condition
to such exchange, each holder of such units agrees to provide representations and covenants
reasonably requested by AMB relating to (i) the widely held nature of the interests in such holder,
sufficient to assure AMB that the holder’s ownership of stock of AMB (without regard to the limits
described above) will not cause any individual to own in excess of 9.0% of the stock of AMB; and
(ii) to the extent such Holder can so represent and covenant without obtaining information from its
owners (other than one or more direct or indirect parent corporations, limited liability companies
or partnerships and not the holders of any interests in any such parent), the Holder’s ownership of
tenants of the Partnership and its affiliates. For purposes of determining the number of Series I
Excess Units under this Section 22.8.A(iii), the “Ownership Limit” set forth in the
Series I Articles Supplementary shall be deemed to be 9.0%. To the extent the Partnership would
not be able to pay the cash set forth above in exchange for the Series I Excess Units, and to the
extent consistent with the REIT Charter, AMB agrees that it will grant to the holders of the Series
I Preferred Units exceptions to the Ownership Limit set

85

 

forth in the Series I Articles Supplementary sufficient to allow such Holders to exchange all
of their Series I Preferred Units for Series I Preferred Shares; provided such holders furnish to
AMB representations acceptable to AMB in its sole and absolute discretion which assure AMB that
such exceptions will not jeopardize AMB’s tax status as a REIT for purposes of federal and
applicable state law. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Series I
Limited Partner shall be entitled to effect an exchange of Series I Preferred Units for Series I
Preferred Shares to the extent that ownership or right to acquire such shares would cause the
Partner or any other Person or, in the opinion of counsel selected by AMB, may cause the Partner or
any other Person, to violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of Series I Preferred
Shares set forth in the REIT Charter. To the extent any such attempted exchange for Series I
Preferred Shares would be in violation of the previous sentence, it shall be void ab initio and
such Series I Limited Partner shall not acquire any rights or economic interest in the Series I
Preferred Shares otherwise issuable upon such exchange.

     (iv) The redemption of Series I Preferred Units described in Section 22.8.A(ii) and
(iii) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 22.5.B(i) and Section
22.5.C(ii); provided, however, that the term “Series I Redemption Price” in such
Sections 22.5.B(i) and 22.5.C(ii) shall be read to mean the original Capital Contribution
per Series I Preferred Unit being redeemed as set forth on Exhibit A plus all accrued and
unpaid distributions to the redemption date.

     B. Procedure for Exchange of Series I Preferred Units and/or Series I Redemption.

     (i) Any exchange shall be exercised pursuant to a notice of exchange (the “Series I
Exchange Notice”) delivered to AMB and the General Partner by the Partners representing at
least 51% of the outstanding Series I Preferred Units (or by the Series I Contributor in the case
of an exchange pursuant to the last sentence of Section 22.8.A.(i) hereof) by (a) fax and
(b) by certified mail postage prepaid. AMB may effect any exchange of Series I Preferred Units, or
the General Partner may exercise its option to cause the Partnership to redeem any portion of the
Series I Preferred Units for cash pursuant to Section 22.8.A(ii) or redeem Series I Excess
Units pursuant to Section 22.8.A(iii), by delivering to each holder of record of Series I
Preferred Units, within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the Series I Exchange Notice,
(a) if the General Partner elects to cause the Partnership to acquire any of the Series I Preferred
Units then outstanding, (1) certificates representing the Series I Preferred Shares being issued in
exchange for the Series I Preferred Units of such holder being exchanged and (2) a written notice
(a “Series I Redemption Notice”) stating (A) the redemption date, which may be the date of
such Series I Redemption Notice or any other date which is not later than sixty (60) days following
the receipt of the Series I Exchange Notice, (B) the redemption price, (C) the place or places
where the Series I Preferred Units are to be surrendered and (D) that distributions on the Series I
Preferred Units will cease to accrue on such redemption date, or (b) if the General Partner elects
to cause the Partnership to redeem all of the Series I Preferred Units then outstanding in exchange
for cash, a Series I Redemption Notice. Series I Preferred Units which are redeemed shall be
deemed canceled (and any corresponding Partnership Interest represented thereby deemed terminated)
on the redemption date. Holders of Series I Preferred Units shall deliver any canceled
certificates representing Series I Preferred Units which have been exchanged or redeemed to the
office of the General Partner (which currently is located at Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco,
California 94111) within ten (10) Business Days of the exchange or redemption with

86

 

respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any and all
Series I Preferred Units to be exchanged for Series I Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section
22.8 shall be so exchanged in a single transaction at one time. As a condition to exchange,
AMB may require the holders of Series I Preferred Units to make such representations as may be
reasonably necessary for the General Partner to establish that the issuance of Series I Preferred
Shares pursuant to the exchange shall not be required to be registered under the Securities Act or
any state securities laws. Any Series I Preferred Shares issued pursuant to this Section
22.8 shall be delivered as shares which are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction other than those provided in
the REIT Charter, the Bylaws of AMB, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or blue sky
laws.

     The certificates representing the Series I Preferred Shares issued upon exchange of the Series
I Preferred Units shall contain the following legend:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED,
SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR (B) IF THE CORPORATION HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH A
SATISFACTORY OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THE SHARES
REPRESENTED HEREBY, OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE
CORPORATION, THAT SUCH TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE,
HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF
SECTION 5 OF THE ACT AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE RULES AND
REGULATIONS THEREUNDER.

     (ii) In the event of an exchange of Series I Preferred Units for Series I Preferred Shares, an
amount equal to the accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of exchange on any Series I
Preferred Units tendered for exchange shall (i) accrue on the Series I Preferred Shares into which
such Series I Preferred Units are exchanged, and (ii) continue to accrue on such Series I Preferred
Units, which shall remain outstanding following such exchange, with the General Partner as the
holder of such Series I Preferred Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
in no event shall a Holder of a Series I Preferred Unit that was validly exchanged for Series I
Preferred Shares pursuant to this section (other than the General Partner holding such Series I
Preferred Unit following any such exchange), receive a distribution out of Available Cash of the
Partnership, if such Holder, after exchange, is entitled to receive a distribution with respect to
the Series I Preferred Shares for which such Series I Preferred Unit was exchanged or redeemed.
Further, for purposes of the foregoing, in the event of an exchange of Series I Preferred Units for
Series I Preferred Shares, if the accrued and unpaid distributions per Series I Preferred Unit is
not the same for each Series I Preferred Unit, the accrued and unpaid distributions per Series I
Preferred Unit for each such Series I Preferred Unit shall be equal to the greatest amount of such
accrued and unpaid distributions per Series I Preferred Unit on any such unit.

87

 

     (iii) Fractional Series I Preferred Shares are not to be issued upon exchange but, in lieu
thereof, the General Partner will pay a cash adjustment based upon the fair market value of the
Series I Preferred Shares on the day prior to the exchange date as determined in good faith by the
General Partner.

     C. Adjustment of Series I Exchange Price. In case AMB shall be a party to any
transaction (including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange,
tender offer for all or substantially all of AMB’s capital stock or sale of all or substantially
all of AMB’s assets), in each case as a result of which the Series I Preferred Shares will be
converted into the right to receive shares of capital stock, other securities or other property
(including cash or any combination thereof), each Series I Preferred Unit will thereafter be
exchangeable into the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and property
receivable (including cash or any combination thereof) upon the consummation of such transaction by
a holder of that number of Series I Preferred Shares or fraction thereof into which one Series I
Preferred Unit was exchangeable immediately prior to such transaction. AMB may not become a party
to any such transaction unless the terms thereof are consistent with the foregoing. AMB and the
Operating Partnership further agree that, notwithstanding any transaction to which either may be a
party (including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, tender
offer for all or substantially all of such entity’s capital stock or partnership interests or sale
of all or substantially all of such entity’s assets), immediately following any such transaction,
the issuer or issuers of any shares of capital stock and other securities into which the Series I
Preferred Units shall be exchangeable pursuant to this Section 22.8 shall be the same
issuer or issuers of shares of capital stock and other securities into which (i) the Series B
Preferred Units are then exchangeable (or, if the Series B Preferred Units have previously been
redeemed in full, would have been then exchangeable if then still outstanding) and (ii) the Series
D Preferred Units are then exchangeable (or, if the Series D Preferred Units have previously been
redeemed in full, would have been then exchangeable if then still outstanding).

Section 22.9. No Conversion Rights

     The Series I Preferred Units shall not be convertible into any other class or series of
interest in the Partnership.

Section 22.10. No Sinking Fund

     No sinking fund shall be established for the retirement or redemption of Series I Preferred
Units.

ARTICLE 23.

CLASS B COMMON UNITS

Section 23.1. Designation

     A series of Partnership Units in the Partnership designated as the Class B Common Units (the
“Class B Common Units”) is hereby established.

88

 

Section 23.2. Ranking

     The Class B Common Units shall, with respect to distribution rights and rights upon voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Partnership, rank (i) senior to other
Common Units and to all Partnership Units the terms of which provide that such Partnership Units
shall rank junior to the Class B Common Units; and (ii) on parity with all other Partnership
Interests now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding expressly designated by the
Partnership to rank on parity with the Class B Common Units with respect to distributions and
rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Partnership; and
(iii) junior to the Series D Preferred Units, the Series I Preferred Units and all Parity Preferred
Units and all Partnership Units which rank senior to the Class B Common Units.

Section 23.3. Distributions

     A. Payment of Distributions. Subject to the rights of holders of the Series D
Preferred Units, the Series I Preferred Units and Parity Preferred Units as to the payment of
distributions (including pursuant to Sections 5.1, 17.3A and 22.3A hereof), holders of
Class B Common Units will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Partnership
acting through the General Partner, out of Available Cash, cumulative preferential cash
distributions (the “Class B Distributions”) in an amount equal to any dividend or
distribution (a “REIT Dividend”) made by AMB to the holders of REIT Shares. The amount of
any Class B Distribution payable on a Class B Common Unit shall be calculated as if such Class B
Common Unit had been exchanged for a REIT Share pursuant to Section 23.4 immediately prior to the
record day for the payment of such REIT Dividend. Such distributions will be payable on any date
AMB pays a REIT Dividend. Distributions on the Class B Common Units will be made to the holders of
record of the Class B Common Units on the relevant record dates, which record date will correspond
with the record date for the corresponding REIT Dividend. For purposes of clarifying the relative
distribution priority rights of the Class B Common Units and the Parity Preferred Units, no
distributions may be paid with respect to the Class B Common Units prior to the payment of all
distributions accrued with respect to the Parity Preferred Units. Distribution payments with
respect to the Class B Common Units occurring on a different date from the Parity Preferred Units
shall not be deemed to create a priority in favor of the Class B Common Units over the Parity
Preferred Units.

     B. Distributions Cumulative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions on the
Class B Common Units will accrue whether or not the terms and provisions of any agreement of the
Partnership at any time prohibit the current payment of distributions, whether or not the
Partnership has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such
distributions and whether or not such distributions are authorized. Accrued but unpaid
distributions on the Class B Common Units will accumulate as of date on which they first become
payable.

     C. Priority as to Distributions. (i) So long as any Class B Common Units are
outstanding, no distribution of cash or other property shall be authorized, declared, paid or set
apart for payment on or with respect to any class or series of Partnership Interest represented by
any Junior Common Units, nor shall any Junior Common Units be redeemed, purchased or otherwise
acquired for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for
the redemption of any such Junior Common Units) by the Partnership (except

89

 

by conversion into or exchange for other Junior Common Units, as the case may be) unless, in
each case, full cumulative distributions have been or contemporaneously are authorized and paid or
authorized and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Class B
Common Units. The foregoing sentence will not prohibit (a) distributions payable solely in such
Junior Common Units, or (b) the exchange of such Junior Common Units into Partnership Interests of
the Partnership ranking junior to the Class B Common Units as to distributions and upon voluntary
and involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership.

     (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, distributions on Partnership
Interests held by either (a) the General Partner, (b) the Operating Partnership or (c) any other
holder of Partnership Interests in the Partnership, in each case ranking junior to or on parity
with the Class B Common Units may be made, without preserving the priority of distributions
described in Sections 23.3.C(i), but only to the extent such distributions are required to
preserve the REIT status of AMB, in its capacity as the indirect owner of 100% of the equity
interests of the General Partner and as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and
in the case of any holder other than the General Partner only to the extent required by the
Partnership Agreement; provided, that the Partnership shall not be disproportionately burdened by
this provision relative to the cash flow generated by other assets owned directly or indirectly by
AMB.

     D. No Further Rights. Holders of Class B Common Units shall not be entitled to any
distributions, whether payable in cash, other property or otherwise, in excess of the full
cumulative distributions described herein.

Section 23.4. Class B Redemption

     A. On or after the date one year after the Issuance Date with respect to a particular Class B
Common Unit, or on or after such other date as expressly provided in an agreement entered into
between the Partnership and any Class B Common Limited Partner, a Class B Common Limited Partner
shall have the right (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in any other such
agreement, as applicable) to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the Class B
Common Units held by such Class B Common Limited Partner and issued on the Issuance Date (such
Partnership Units being hereafter referred to as “Tendered Units”) in exchange for the Cash
Amount (a “Class B Redemption”); provided, that the terms of such Class B Common
Units do not provide that such Class B Common Units are not entitled to a right of Class B
Redemption. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or a separate agreement entered
into between the Partnership and the holders of such Partnership Units, all Class B Common Units
shall be entitled to a right of Class B Redemption hereunder. Any Class B Redemption shall be
exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Partnership by the Class B Common
Limited Partner who is exercising the right (the “Tendering Partner”). The Cash Amount
shall be delivered as a certified check payable to the Tendering Partner within ten (10) days of
the Specified Redemption Date in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Notice of
Redemption.

     B. Notwithstanding Section 23.4.A above, if a Class B Common Limited Partner has
delivered to the Partnership a Notice of Redemption then the Partnership may, in its sole and
absolute discretion (subject to the limitations on ownership and transfer of REIT Shares

90

 

set forth in Article IV.E of the REIT Charter), elect to have AMB acquire some or all of the
Tendered Units from the Tendering Partner in exchange for the REIT Shares Amount (as of the
Specified Redemption Date) and, if the Partnership so elects, the Tendering Partner shall sell the
Tendered Units to AMB in exchange for the REIT Shares Amount. In such event, the Tendering Partner
shall have no right to cause the Partnership to redeem such Tendered Units. The Partnership shall
promptly give such Tendering Partner written notice of its election, and the Tendering Partner may
elect to withdraw its redemption request at any time prior to the acceptance of the Cash Amount or
REIT Shares Amount by such Tendering Partner.

     C. The REIT Shares Amount, if applicable, shall be delivered as duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable REIT Shares and, if applicable, free of any pledge, lien,
encumbrance or restriction, other than those provided in the REIT Charter, the Bylaws of AMB, the
Securities Act, relevant state securities or blue sky laws and any applicable registration rights
agreement with respect to such REIT Shares entered into by the Tendering Partner. The REIT Shares
Amount shall be delivered as set forth in the Notice of Redemption. Notwithstanding any delay in
such delivery (but subject to Section 8.6.E below), the Tendering Partner shall be deemed
the owner of such REIT Shares for all purposes, including without limitation, rights to vote or
consent, and receive dividends, as of the Specified Redemption Date.

     D. Each Class B Common Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the Partnership that all
Tendered Units shall be delivered to the Partnership, in the case of a redemption for a Cash
Amount, or AMB, in the case of an exchange for a REIT Share Amount, free and clear of all liens,
claims and encumbrances whatsoever and should any such liens, claims and/or encumbrances exist or
arise with respect to such Tendered Units, the Partnership or AMB, as the case may be, shall be
under no obligation to acquire the same. Each Class B Common Limited Partner further agrees that,
in the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its
Tendered Units to the Partnership or AMB (or their designee), such Class B Common Limited Partner
shall assume and pay such transfer tax.

     E. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 23.4.A, 23.4.B, 23.4.C or any other
provision of this Agreement, a Class B Common Limited Partner (i) shall not be entitled to effect a
Class B Redemption for cash or an exchange for REIT Shares to the extent the ownership or right to
acquire REIT Shares pursuant to such exchange by such Partner on the Specified Redemption Date
would cause such Partner or any other Person, or, in the opinion of counsel selected by AMB, may
cause such Partner or any other Person, to violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of
REIT Shares set forth in Article IV.E of the REIT Charter and (ii) shall have no rights under this
Agreement to acquire REIT Shares which would otherwise be prohibited under the REIT Charter. To
the extent any attempted Class B Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares would be in violation of
this Section 23.4.E, it shall be null and void ab initio and such Class B Common Limited
Partner shall not acquire any rights or economic interest in the cash otherwise payable upon such
redemption or the REIT Shares otherwise issuable upon such exchange.

     F. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 23.4.E
above), with respect to any Class B Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares pursuant to this
Section 23.4:

91

 

	 	(i)	 	All Class B Common Units acquired by AMB pursuant thereto shall
automatically, and without further action required, be converted into and
deemed to be Class A Common Units.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Without the consent of the General Partner, each Class B Common
Limited Partner may not effect a Class B Redemption for less than 10,000
Partnership Units or, if the Class B Common Limited Partner holds less than
10,000 Partnership Units, all of the Class B Common Units held by such Class B
Common Limited Partner.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Without the consent of the General Partner, each Class B
Common Limited Partner may not effect a Class B Redemption during the period
after the Partnership Record Date with respect to a distribution and before the
record date established by AMB for a distribution to its common stockholders of
some or all of its portion of such distribution.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The consummation of any Class B Redemption or exchange for REIT
Shares shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable
waiting period, if any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act
of 1976, as amended.
	 
	 	(v)	 	Each Tendering Partner shall continue to own all Class B Common
Units subject to any Class B Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares, and be
treated as a Class B Common Limited Partner with respect to such Class B Common
Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until such Class B Common Units are
transferred to AMB and paid for or exchanged as of the Specified Redemption
Date. Until a Specified Redemption Date, the Tendering Partner shall have no
rights as a stockholder of AMB with respect to any exchange of such Tendering
Partner’s Class B Common Units.

     In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to any Additional
Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.3.B, the General Partner shall make such revisions to
this Section 23.4 as it determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional
Partnership Interests.

CONSTRUCTIVE OWNERSHIP DEFINITION

          The term “Constructively Owns” means ownership determined through the application
of the constructive ownership rules of Section 318 of the Code, as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of
the Code. Generally, these rules provide the following:

     a. an individual is considered as owning the Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or
constructively, by or for his spouse, his children, his grandchildren, and his parents;

     b. an Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for a partnership,
limited liability company or estate is considered as owned proportionately by its partners, members
or beneficiaries;

     c. an Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for a trust is
considered as owned by its beneficiaries in proportion to the actuarial interest of such
beneficiaries (provided, however, that in the case of a “grantor trust” the Ownership Interest will
be considered as owned by the grantors);

     d. if ten percent (10%) or more in value of the stock in a corporation is owned, actually or
constructively, by or for any person, such person shall be considered as owning the Ownership
Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for such corporation in that proportion
which the value of the stock which such person so owns bears to the value of all the stock in such
corporation;

     e. an Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for a partner or
member which actually or constructively owns a 25% or greater capital interest or profits interest
in a partnership or limited liability company, or by or for a beneficiary of an estate or trust,
shall be considered as owned by the partnership, limited liability company, estate, or trust (or,
in the case of a grantor trust, the grantors);

     f. if ten percent (10%) or more in value of the stock in a corporation is owned, actually or
constructively, by or for any person, such corporation shall be considered as owning the Ownership
Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for such person;

     g. if any person has an option to acquire an Ownership Interest (including an option to
acquire an option or any one of a series of such options), such Ownership Interest shall be
considered as owned by such person;

     h. an Ownership Interest that is constructively owned by a person by reason of the application
of the rules described in paragraphs (a) through (g) above shall, for purposes of applying
paragraphs (a) through (g), be considered as actually owned by such person provided, however, that
(i) an Ownership Interest constructively owned by an individual by reason of paragraph (a) shall
not be considered as owned by him for purposes of again applying paragraph (a) in order to make
another the constructive owner of such Ownership Interest, (ii) an Ownership Interest
constructively owned by a partnership, estate, trust, or corporation by reason of the application
of paragraphs (e) or (f) shall not be considered as owned by it for purposes of applying paragraphs
(b), (c), or (d) in order to make another the constructive owner of such Ownership Interest, (iii)
if an Ownership Interest may be considered as owned by an individual under paragraphs (a) or (g),
it shall be considered as owned by him under paragraph (g) and (iv) for purposes of the above
described rules, an S corporation shall be treated as a partnership and any stockholder of the S
corporation shall be treated as a partner of such partnership except that this rule shall not apply
for purposes of determining whether stock in the S corporation is constructively owned by any
person.

     i. For purposes of the above summary of the constructive ownership rules, the term
“Ownership Interest” means the ownership of stock with respect to a corporation and, with
respect to any other type of entity, the ownership of an interest in either its assets or net
profits.

Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of AMB Property II, L.P. (the
“Partnership Agreement”), as such agreement may be amended from time to time. All
references to “Section” refer to the Partnership Agreement.

     (b) Restriction on Ownership and Transfers.

          (i) Prior to the Restriction Termination Date, no Person, other than an Exempted Person, shall
at any time Constructively Own Partnership Units in excess of the Ownership Limit if the
representations contained in Section 3.4.D are not at such time true and correct.

          (ii) If, prior to the Restriction Termination Date, any Transfer or other event occurs that,
if effective, would result in any Person Constructively Owning Partnership Units in violation of
subsection (b)(i), (1) then that number of Partnership Units that otherwise would cause such Person
to violate subsection (b)(i) (rounded up to the nearest whole Partnership Unit) shall be
automatically transferred (provided such Transfer is not in violation of the restrictions on
transfer

I - 2

 

set forth in the Partnership Agreement, except to the extent the General Partner waives such
restrictions) to a Trust for the benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary, as described in subsection
(c), effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of such Transfer
or other event, and such Purported Beneficial Transferee shall thereafter have no rights in such
Partnership Units or (2) if, for any reason, the transfer to the Trust described in clause (1) of
this sentence is not automatically effective as provided therein to prevent any Person from
Constructively Owning Partnership Units in violation of subsection (b)(i), then the Transfer of
that number of Partnership Units that otherwise would cause any Person to violate subsection (b)(i)
shall be void ab initio, and the Purported Beneficial Transferee shall have no rights in such
Partnership Units.

     (c) Transfers of Partnership Units in Trust.

          (i) Upon any purported Transfer or other event described in subsection (b)(ii), such
Partnership Units shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Trustee in his capacity as
trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such
transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the business
day prior to the purported Transfer or other event that results in a transfer to the Trust pursuant
to subsection (b)(ii). The Trustee shall be appointed by the Partnership and shall be a Person
unaffiliated with the Partnership, any Purported Beneficial Transferee, or any Purported Record
Transferee. Each Charitable Beneficiary shall be designated by the Partnership as provided in
subsection (c)(vi).

          (ii) Partnership Units held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding Partnership Units
of the Partnership. The Purported Beneficial Transferee or Purported Record Transferee shall have
no rights in the Partnership Units held by the Trustee. The Purported Beneficial Transferee or
Purported Record Transferee shall not benefit economically from ownership of any Partnership Units
held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to distributions or allocations with respect to
Partnership Units held in the Trust and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights
attributable to the Partnership Units held in the Trust.

          (iii) The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to distributions and allocations
with respect to Partnership Units held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the
exclusive benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any distribution paid prior to the discovery by
the Partnership that Partnership Units have been transferred to the Trustee shall be paid to the
Trustee upon demand, and any distribution with respect to such Partnership Units shall be paid when
due to the Trustee. Any distributions so paid over to the Trustee shall be held in trust for the
Charitable Beneficiary.

          The Purported Record Transferee and Purported Beneficial Transferee shall have no voting
rights with respect to the Partnership Units held in the Trust and, subject to Delaware law,
effective as of the date the Partnership Units has been transferred to the Trustee, the Trustee
shall have the authority (at the Trustee’s sole discretion) (i) to rescind as void any vote cast by
a Purported Record Transferee with respect to such Partnership Units prior to the discovery by the
Partnership that the Partnership Units has been transferred to the Trustee and (ii) to recast such
vote in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable
Beneficiary; provided, however, that if the Partnership has already taken irreversible action, then
the Trustee shall not have the authority to rescind and recast such vote. Notwithstanding any other
provision of

I - 3

 

this Exhibit I to the contrary, until the Partnership has received notification that the
Partnership Units have been transferred into a Trust, the Partnership shall be entitled to rely on
its Partnership Unit transfer and other unitholder records for purposes of preparing Exhibit
A to the Partnership Agreement, lists of unitholders entitled to vote at meetings, and
otherwise conducting votes of Partners.

          (iv) Within 20 days of receiving notice from the Partnership that Partnership Units have been
transferred to the Trust, the Trustee of the Trust shall, in accordance with the terms of (and
subject to the limitations contained in) the Partnership Agreement, sell the Partnership Units held
in the Trust to a Person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the Partnership Units will
not violate the ownership limitations set forth in subsection (b)(i). Upon such sale, the interest
of the Charitable Beneficiary in the Partnership Units sold shall terminate and the Trustee shall
distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Purported Record Transferee and to the Charitable
Beneficiary as provided in this subsection (c)(iv). The Purported Record Transferee shall receive
the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the Partnership Units in
the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, if the event which resulted in the
transfer to the Trust did not involve a purchase of such Partnership Units at Market Price, the
Market Price of such Partnership Units on the day of the event which resulted in the transfer of
such Partnership Units to the Trust) and (2) the price per Partnership Unit received by the Trustee
(net of any commissions and other expenses of sale) from the sale or other disposition of the
Partnership Units held in the Trust. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the
Purported Record Transferee shall be immediately paid to the Charitable Beneficiary together with
any distributions thereon. If, prior to the discovery by the Partnership that Partnership Units
have been transferred to the Trustee, such Partnership Units are sold by a Purported Record
Transferee then (i) such Partnership Units shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the Trust
and (ii) to the extent that the Purported Record Transferee received an amount for such Partnership
Units that exceeds the amount that such Purported Record Transferee was entitled to receive
pursuant to this subsection (c)(iv), such excess shall be paid to the Trustee upon demand. The
expenses described in item (2) above shall include any expenses of administering the Trust, any
transfer of Partnership Units thereto or disposition of Partnership Units thereby, which shall be
allocated equitably among the Partnership Units which are transferred to the Trust.

          (v) Partnership Units transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale
to the Partnership, or its designee, at a price per Partnership Unit equal to the lesser of (i) the
price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the Partnership Units in the transaction that
resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, if the event which resulted in the transfer to the
Trust did not involve a purchase of such Partnership Units at Market Price, the Market Price of
such Partnership Units on the day of the event which resulted in the transfer of such Partnership
Units to the Trust) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Partnership, or its designee, accepts
such offer. The Partnership shall have the right to accept such offer until the Trustee has sold
the Partnership Units held in the Trust pursuant to subsection (c)(iv). Upon such a sale to the
Partnership, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the Partnership Units sold shall
terminate and the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Purported Record
Transferee and any distributions held by the Trustee with respect to such Partnership Units shall
thereupon be paid to the Charitable Beneficiary.

          (vi) By written notice to the Trustee, the Partnership shall designate one or more nonprofit
organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Trust such that the
Partnership Units held in the Trust would not violate the restrictions set forth in subsection
(b)(i) in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary.

     (d) Remedies For Breach. If the General Partner shall at any time determine in good
faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of subsection (b) or that a
Person intends to acquire, has attempted to acquire or may acquire beneficial ownership (determined
without reference to any rules of attribution) or Constructive Ownership of any Partnership Units
of the Partnership in violation of subsection (b), the General Partner shall take such action as it
deems advisable to refuse to give effect or to prevent such Transfer, including, but not limited
to, causing the Partnership to redeem Partnership Units, refusing to give effect to such Transfer
on the books of the Partnership or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer; provided,
however, that any Transfers (or, in the case of events other than a Transfer, ownership or
Constructive Ownership) in violation of subsection (b)(i), shall automatically result in the
transfer to a Trust as described in subsection (b)(ii).

     (e) Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who acquires or attempts to acquire or
own Partnership Units in violation of subsection (b), or any Person who is a Purported Beneficial
Transferee such that an automatic transfer to a Trust results under subsection (b)(ii), shall
immediately give written notice to the Partnership of such event and shall provide to the
Partnership such other information as the Partnership may request in order to determine the effect,
if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer on such Person’s compliance with subsection (b)(i).

     (f) Owners Required To Provide Information. Prior to the Restriction Termination Date
each Person who is a beneficial owner or Constructive Owner of Partnership Units and each Person
who is holding Partnership Units for a beneficial owner or Constructive Owner shall provide to the
Partnership such information that the Partnership may request, in good faith, in order to determine
the Partnership’s status as a partnership (as opposed to a corporation) or AMB’s status as a REIT
for federal income tax purposes.

     (g) Remedies Not Limited. Nothing contained in this Exhibit I shall limit the
authority of the General Partner to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to
protect the Partnership and the interests of its Partners by preservation of the Partnership’s
status as a partnership (as opposed to a corporation) or AMB’s status as a REIT for federal income
tax purposes.

     (h) Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions
of this Exhibit I, including any definition contained in subsection (a), the General
Partner shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions of this Exhibit
I with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it. In the event that a provision
of this Exhibit I requires an action by the General Partner and Exhibit I fails to
provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the General Partner shall have the power to
determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of
Exhibit I. Absent a decision to the contrary by the General Partner (which the General
Partner may make in its sole and absolute discretion), if a Person would have (but for the remedies
set forth in subsection (b)) acquired Constructive

I - 5

 

Ownership of Partnership Units in violation of subsection (b)(i), such remedies (as applicable)
shall apply first to the Partnership Units which, but for such remedies, would have been actually
owned by such Person, and second to Partnership Units which, but for such remedies, would have been
Constructively Owned (but not actually owned) by such Person, pro rata among the Persons who
actually own such Partnership Units based upon the relative number of the Partnership Units held by
each such Person.
