Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement and
Item 2.03   Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
     On June 13, 2006, Malacoa Holding Pte. Ltd., a private company limited by shares organized under the laws of Singapore and a subsidiary of our subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., which is Singapore dollar functional, AMB Canada Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of AMB Property, L.P., which is Canadian dollar functional, AMB European Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of AMB Property, L.P., which is Euro functional, and AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, acting in its capacity as a borrower, as borrowers, and us and AMB Property, L.P., as guarantors, entered into a fourth amended and restated revolving credit agreement for a $250 million unsecured revolving credit facility that replaced the $250 million unsecured revolving credit facility executed on February 16, 2006. We are the sole general partner of AMB Property, L.P. The fourth amended and restated credit facility is with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, Banc of America Securities Asia Limited , as Hong Kong dollars agent, Bank of America, N.A., Singapore Branch, as Singapore dollars agent, The Bank of Nova Scotia, as syndication agent, LaSalle Bank National Association and Société Générale, as co-documentation agents, and a syndicate of other banks.
     The fourth amended and restated revolving credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios by AMB Property, L.P., and negative covenants, including limitations on mergers or consolidations, some of which were amended from the third amended and restated revolving credit agreement. The covenants amended include the ratios of total debt to total asset value, secured debt to total asset value and unencumbered net operating cash flow to unsecured debt service. Some of the financial ratios were also eliminated, including the ratio of outstanding unsecured debt to unencumbered asset value, and the limitation on foreign property as a percent of total asset value was removed. In addition, permitted holdings, which are unimproved assets, interests in taxable REIT subsidiaries and investment mortgages, of AMB Property, L.P., are now subject to an aggregate limitation of 25% of total asset value, and the consolidated tangible net worth of AMB Property, L.P. shall not be less than $2.2 billion plus 70% of net offering proceeds.
     The fourth amended and restated revolving credit agreement also includes events, each of which, if not cured within the time period, if any, specified in the credit agreement would constitute an event of default, some of which were amended from the third amended and restated revolving credit agreement. Among those events amended were the cross default to recourse indebtedness and the default for final, non-appealable judgments, while the cross default to other non-recourse debt was eliminated.
     A copy of the fourth amended and restated revolving credit agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated into this current report by reference.
