Optional Prepayment by Operating Partnership
The notes will be subject to prepayment at the option of the Operating Partnership, at any time in
whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than 30 and not more than 60 days notice mailed
to each holder of notes to be prepaid at the holders address appearing in the note register, at a
price equal to the greater of:
|
|
|
100% of the principal amount of the notes to be prepaid; and |
the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (at
the rate in effect on the date of calculation of the prepayment price) on the notes to be prepaid
(exclusive of interest accrued to the date of prepayment) discounted to the date of prepayment on a
semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable
Treasury Yield plus 50 basis points;
in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment.
Notes called for prepayment will become due on the date fixed for prepayment. Notices of prepayment
will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the date fixed for
prepayment to each noteholder at its registered address. The notice will state the principal amount
to be prepaid. On and after the date fixed for prepayment, interest will cease to accrue on any
prepaid notes. If less than all the notes are prepaid at any time, the trustee will select the
notes to be prepaid on a pro rata basis or by any other method the trustee deems fair and
appropriate.
Comparable Treasury Issue means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent
Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the notes that would be
utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice in pricing
new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining terms of the notes.
Comparable Treasury Price means, with respect to any date fixed for the prepayment of notes, (a)
the bid price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount)
at 4:00 P.M. on the third business day preceding such date, as set forth on Telerate Page 500 (or
such other page as may replace Telerate Page 500) or (b) if such page (or any successor page) is
not displayed or does not contain such bid prices at such time, (i) the average of the Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the trustee for such date, after excluding the highest and
lowest of four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the trustee is unable to
obtain at least four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the trustee.
Independent Investment Banker means J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., or, if such firm is unwilling or
unable to select the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, a leading independent investment banking
institution appointed by the trustee and reasonably acceptable to the Operating Partnership.
Reference Treasury Dealer means J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and three other primary U.S.
government securities dealers in New York City selected by the Independent Investment Banker (each,
a Primary Treasury Dealer); provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a
Primary Treasury Dealer, the Operating Partnership will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer.
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and
any date fixed for the prepayment of notes, an average, as determined by the trustee, of the bid
and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for the notes (expressed in each case as a
percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the trustee by such Reference Treasury
Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such date.
Treasury Yield means, with respect to any date fixed for the prepayment of notes, the rate per
annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third business day
immediately preceding such date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
applicable Comparable Treasury Price for such date.
AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (hereinafter called the Operating
Partnership, which term includes any successor under the Indenture referred to below), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Holder specified on the face hereof, or
registered assigns (Holder), upon presentation and surrender of this Note, on the Maturity Date
specified on the face hereof (except to the extent repaid or redeemed prior to the Maturity Date)
the Principal Amount specified on the face hereof in the Specified Currency specified on the face
hereof, and to pay interest thereon at the Interest Rate per annum specified on the face hereof,
until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Operating Partnership will pay interest
(other than defaulted interest) on each Interest Payment Date (as defined below), commencing with
the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified on the face
hereof, to the person who is the Holder of this Note on the applicable Regular Record Date (as
defined below); provided that if the Original Issue Date occurs between a Regular Record Date and
an Interest Payment Date, the Operating Partnership will make the first payment of interest on the
Interest Payment Date following the next Regular Record Date to the registered owner on that
Regular Record Date.
The Operating Partnership will pay interest due on the Maturity Date, Redemption Date (as
defined on the reverse hereof) or Repayment Date (as defined on the reverse hereof), as applicable,
to the same person to whom it is paying the principal amount; provided that if the Operating
Partnership would have made a regular interest payment on the Maturity Date, Redemption Date or
Repayment Date, as the case may be, it will make that regular interest payment to the Holder as of
the applicable Regular Record Date, even if it is not the same person to whom it is paying the
principal amount.
Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for (Defaulted Interest) will
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on any Regular Record Date, and shall be paid, at the
election of the Operating Partnership, to either (i) to the Holder at the close of business on a
special record date (the Special Record Date) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be
fixed by the Trustee (as defined on the reverse hereof), notice whereof shall be given to the
Holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date
or (ii) at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which this Note may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided for in the Indenture.
Unless specified on the face hereof, payments of interest on this Note with respect to any
Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as applicable, will
include interest accrued from and including each immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or
from and including the Original Date of Issue if no interest has been paid or duly provided for),
to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as
the case may be.
If an Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as applicable,
falls on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), interest (or interest and principal)
will be paid on the next Business Day; provided that interest on the payment will not accrue for
the period from the original Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment
Date, as the case may be, to the date of such payment on the next Business Day.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Payment Dates shall be June 30
and December 30 of each year. The Regular Record Dates shall be June 15 for a June 30 interest
payment date, December 15 for a December 30 interest payment date and the date that is 15 calendar
days before any other interest payment date, whether or not those dates are Business Days.
Business Day as used herein means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is
neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law
or regulation to close (x) in The City of New York or (y) for notes denominated in a specified
currency other than U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or euro, in the principal financial center of
the country of the specified currency or (z) for notes denominated in Australian dollars, in
Sydney, and (b) for notes denominated in euro, that is also a day on which the Trans-European
Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System, which is commonly referred to as
TARGET, is operating.
Payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest on, this Note on any day, if the
Holder of this Note is DTC (or its nominee or other depository, a Depository), will be made in
accordance with any applicable provisions of such written agreement between the Operating
Partnership, the Trustee and the Depository (or its nominee) as may be in effect from time to time.
Otherwise payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest on, this Note on any day shall
be payable and this Note may be surrendered for the registration of transfer or exchange at the
corporate trust office of the Trustee at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005,
unless the Holder of this Note is notified otherwise; provided, however, that at the option of the
Operating Partnership, interest may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Operating Partnerships Security Register or by wire
transfer, if proper wire instructions are on file with the Trustee or are received at presentment,
to an account maintained by the payee located in the United States. Unless the Holder of this Note
is notified otherwise, the place where notices or demands to or upon the Operating Partnership in
respect of this Note and the Indenture may be served shall be the corporate trust office of the
Trustee at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005.
To receive payment of a U.S. dollar denominated Note upon redemption (if applicable) or at
maturity, a Holder must make presentation and surrender of such Note on or before the Redemption
Date or Maturity Date, as applicable. To receive payment of a Note denominated in a Foreign
Currency (as defined on the reverse hereof) or composite currency upon redemption or at maturity, a
Holder must make presentation and surrender of such Note not less than two Business Days prior to
the Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as applicable. Upon presentation and surrender of a Note
denominated in a Foreign Currency or composite currency at any time after the date two Business
Days prior to the Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as applicable, the Operating Partnership will
pay the principal amount (and premium, if any) of such Note, and any interest due upon redemption
or at maturity (unless the Redemption Date or Maturity Date is an Interest Payment Date), two
Business Days after such presentation and surrender.
For procedures relating to the receipt of payment upon repayment, if applicable, see the
reverse hereof.
The Operating Partnership will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection
with sending payments by wire transfer, but any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon
payments will be borne by the Holders of the Notes in respect of which payments are made.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse
hereof and, if so specified on the face hereof, in the Addendum hereto, which further provisions
shall for all purposes have the same force and effect as though fully set forth on the face hereof.
This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture referred to on the reverse
hereof, or become valid or obligatory for any purpose, until the certificate of authentication
hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee under such Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Addendum is attached hereto or Other/Additional
Provisions apply to this Note as specified on the face hereof, this Note shall be subject to the
terms set forth in such Addendum or such Other/Additional Provisions.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Operating Partnership has caused this Instrument to be duly executed.

(REVERSE OF NOTE)
AMB PROPERTY L.P.
MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES C
(FIXED RATE)
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of the Operating Partnership
(hereinafter called the Securities) of the series hereinafter specified, unlimited in aggregate
principal amount, all issued or to be issued under or pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 30,
1998, as supplemented by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 10, 2006 (herein
collectively called the Indenture), among the Operating Partnership, AMB Property Corporation, a
Maryland corporation and sole general partner of the Operating Partnership (the Guarantor), and
U. S. Bank National Association, as successor-in-interest to State Street Bank and Trust Company of
California, N.A., as trustee (the Trustee); to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a
specification of the rights and limitation of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities,
the rights and obligations thereunder of the Operating Partnership and the rights, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which
different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different
times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption or
repayment provisions (if any), may be subject to different covenants and defaults and may otherwise
vary as provided in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series designated as Series C
Medium-Term Notes (hereinafter referred to as the Notes) of the Operating Partnership, of up to
$500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the
Indenture and which are not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them
in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made a
part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are
subject to all such terms, and the Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a
statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the provisions of
the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
Unless stated to the contrary on the face hereof, this Note is issuable only in registered
form without coupons in Book-Entry form represented by one or more global notes (each a Global
Note) recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Depository. If specified on the face
hereof, this Note is issuable in certificated form issued to, and registered in the name of, the
beneficial owner or its nominee (a Certificated Note).
Unless a different minimum Authorized Denomination is set forth on the face hereof, this Note
is issuable in minimum denominations of (i) if the Specified Currency of this Note is U.S. dollars,
U.S. $1,000 and in any larger amount in integral multiples of $1,000 and (ii) if the Specified
Currency of this Note is a currency other than U.S. dollars (a Foreign Currency) or is a
composite currency, the equivalent in such Foreign Currency or composite currency determined in
accordance with the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) for such Foreign Currency or composite
currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the Operating Partnership
accepts an offer to purchase a Note, of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units
of the Foreign Currency or composite currency), and in any larger amount in integral multiples of
1,000 units.
If this is a Global Note representing Book-Entry Notes, this Note may be transferred or
exchanged only through DTC. In the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the
Indenture, if this is a Certificated Note, it may be transferred or exchanged, without charge
except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in relation thereto, for other Notes of
authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount, at the office or agency of the
Operating Partnership in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York, or, at the option of the
Holder, such office or agency, if any, maintained by the Operating Partnership in the city in which
the principal executive offices of the Operating Partnership are located or the city in which the
principal corporate trust office of the Trustee is located.
The principal (and premium, if any) and interest on, this Note is payable by the Operating
Partnership in the Specified Currency.
If this Note is denominated in a Foreign Currency, in the event that the Foreign Currency is
not available for payment at a time at which any payment is required hereunder due to the
imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Operating
Partnership or is no longer used by the government of the
country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions
within the international banking community, the Operating Partnership may, in full satisfaction of
its obligation to make such payment, make instead a payment in an equivalent amount of U.S.
dollars, determined by the Exchange Rate Agent, as specified on the face hereof, on the basis of
the Market Exchange Rate for such Foreign Currency on the second Business Day prior to such payment
date or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently
available Market Exchange Rate; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a
single European currency, the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on
this Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in
conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty
establishing the European Community, as amended by the treaty on European Unity. The Market
Exchange Rate for the Specified Currency means the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York
for cable transfers for the Specified Currency as certified for customs purposes by (or if not so
certified, as otherwise determined by) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made
under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or a new single European currency where the required
payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars or such single European currency,
respectively, will not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture).
If the Specified Currency is a composite currency and if such composite currency is
unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of
the Operating Partnership, then the Operating Partnership will be entitled to satisfy its
obligations to the Holder of this Note by making such payment in U.S. dollars. The amount of each
payment in U.S. dollars shall be computed by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the equivalent
of the composite currency in U.S. dollars. The component currencies of the composite currency for
this purpose (collectively, the Component Currencies and each, a Component Currency) shall be
the currency amounts that were components of the composite currency as of the last day on which the
composite currency was used. The equivalent of the composite currency in U.S. dollars shall be
calculated by aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Component Currencies. The U.S. dollar
equivalent of each of the Component Currencies shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on
the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate for each such Component Currency, or
as otherwise specified on the face hereof.
If the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or
subdivision, the number of units of the currency as a Component Currency shall be divided or
multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a
single currency, the amounts of those currencies as Component Currencies shall be replaced by an
amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the amounts of the consolidated Component
Currencies expressed in such single currency. If any Component Currency is divided into two or
more currencies, the amount of the original Component Currency shall be replaced by the amounts of
such two or more currencies, the sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the original
Component Currency.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole
discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding
on the Holder of this Note.
If a Redemption Commencement Date is specified on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed,
whether or not any other Note is concurrently redeemed, at the option of the Operating Partnership,
in whole, or from time to time in part, on any Business Day on or after such Redemption
Commencement Date and prior to the Maturity Date, upon mailing by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the actual
date of redemption (Redemption Date), to the Holder of this Note at such Holders address
appearing in the Security Register, as provided in the Indenture (provided that, if the Holder of
this Note is a Depository or a nominee of a Depository, notice of such redemption shall be given in
accordance with any applicable provisions of such written agreement between the Operating
Partnership, the Trustee and such Depository (or its nominee) as may be in effect from time to
time), at the Redemption Price (as defined below), together in each case with interest accrued to
the Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holder of record on a Regular Record Date to
receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date). The Redemption Price shall be equal to
(i) the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face of this Note, as adjusted downward on
each anniversary of the Redemption Commencement Date by the Annual Redemption Price Reduction, if
any, specified on the face hereof, multiplied by (ii) the unpaid Principal Amount of this Note to
be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this
series, and of like tenor, for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the
Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
If an Optional Repayment Date(s) is specified on the face hereof, this Note will be subject to
repayment by the Operating Partnership at the option of the Holder hereof on such Optional
Repayment Date(s), in whole or in part in increments of U.S. $1,000 or other increments specified
on the face hereof (as long as any remaining principal is at least $1,000 or another specified
minimum denomination), at the Repayment Price specified on the face hereof, together with unpaid
interest accrued hereon to the date of repayment (Repayment Date). For this Note to be repaid,
this Note must be received, together with the form hereon entitled Option to Elect Repayment duly
completed, by the Trustee at its corporate trust office at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York,
New York 10005 (or at such other address of which the Operating Partnership shall from time to time
designate and notify Holders of the Notes) at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the
Repayment Date. Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder hereof will be irrevocable. In
the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unrepaid portion
hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
If this is a Global Note representing Book-Entry Notes, only the Depository may exercise the
repayment option in respect of this Note. Accordingly, if this is a Global Security representing
Book-Entry Notes and the beneficial owner desires to have all or any portion of the Book-Entry Note
represented by this Global Security repaid, the beneficial owner must instruct the participant
through which he owns his interest to direct the Depository to exercise the repayment option on his
behalf by delivering this Note and duly completed election form to the Trustee as aforesaid.
If this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note, as specified on the face hereof, the amount
payable to the Holder of this Note in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of
maturity will be equal to the sum of (i) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (increased by
any accruals of the Discount, as defined below) multiplied, in the event of any redemption or
repayment of this Note (if applicable), by the Redemption Price or Repayment Price, as the case may
be, and (ii) any unpaid interest on this Note accrued from the Original Issue Date to the
Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. The
difference between the Issue Price, as specified on the face hereof, and 100% of the principal
amount of this Note is referred to herein as the Discount.
For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any Redemption Date,
Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of this Note, such Discount will be accrued so
as to cause the yield on the Note to be constant. The constant yield will be calculated using a
30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as
defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates (with ratable
accruals within a compounding period) and an assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be
accelerated. If the period from the Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the
Initial Period) is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of
the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than
the compounding period, then such period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a
short period, with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.
In case a default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur and be continuing with respect to
the Notes, the principal amount of all Notes then outstanding under the Indenture may be declared
or may become due and payable upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in
the Indenture. The Indenture provides that such declaration may in certain events be annulled by
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding.
To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Indenture, the Operating Partnership may
enter into one or more supplements to the Indenture for the purpose of modifying or altering the
Indenture, without the consent of any Holders of Notes, for the limited purposes described in the
Indenture.
To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Indenture, the Operating Partnership may
enter into one or more supplements to the Indenture for the purpose of modifying or altering the
rights and obligations of the Operating Partnership and the Holders of the Securities (as defined
in the Indenture) with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount
of all Outstanding Securities (as defined in the Indenture) of any series affected, evidenced as
provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for legal defeasance and covenant defeasance with respect to
the Notes, in each case, upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein, which
provisions apply to the Notes.
The Operating Partnership, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any paying agent and any
Security registrar may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof
(whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or other
writing hereon by anyone other than the Operating Partnership or any Security registrar) for the
purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof (and premium, if any), and
interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and none of the Operating Partnership, the Trustee, an
Authenticating Agent, a paying agent nor the Security registrar shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability
upon this Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Indenture or of this
Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any

acceleration, by redemption or repayment or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the
Operating Partnership. The undersigned hereby agrees, jointly and severally with the Subsidiary
Guarantors, if any, that its obligations hereunder shall be as principal and not merely as surety,
and shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected, modified or impaired by the
following: (a) the failure to give notice to the Guarantors of the occurrence of an Event of
Default under the Indenture; (b) the waiver, surrender, compromise, settlement, release or
termination of the payment, performance or observance by the Operating Partnership or the
Guarantors of any or all of the obligations, covenants or agreements of either of them contained in
the Indenture or any Note; (c) the acceleration, extension or any other changes in the time for

material or otherwise) of any obligation, covenant or agreement set forth in the Indenture or any
Note; (e) the taking or the omission of any of the actions referred to in the Indenture and in any
of the actions under any Note; (f) any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of the Trustee

the Guarantors or the Operating Partnership or any of the assets of any of them, or any allegation
or contest of the validity of this Parent Guarantee in any such proceeding; (h) to the extent
permitted by law, the release or discharge by operation of law of the Guarantors from the
performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture;
(i) to the extent permitted by law, the release or discharge by operation of law of the Operating
Partnership from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture; (j) the default or failure of the Operating Partnership or the Trustee fully to
perform any of its obligations set forth in the Indenture or any Note; (k) the invalidity,
irregularity or unenforceability of the Indenture or any Note or any part of any thereof; (l) any
judicial or governmental action affecting the Operating Partnership or any Note or consent or
indulgence granted to the Operating Partnership by the Holders or by the Trustee; or (m) the
recovery of any judgment against the Operating Partnership or any action to enforce the same or any
other circumstance which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.
The undersigned hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a
court in the event of merger, sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets,
insolvency or bankruptcy of any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership, any right to require a
proceeding first against any other Guarantor or the Operating Partnership, protest or notice with
respect to such Note or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and
covenants that this Parent Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the
obligations contained in such Note and in this Parent Guarantee.
No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Parent Guarantee or of such
Indenture shall alter or impair the guarantee of the undersigned, which is absolute and
unconditional, of the full and prompt payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
on the Note.
THIS PARENT GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.
This Parent Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate
of authentication on the Note shall have been executed by the Trustee under the Indenture referred
to above by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers. The validity and
enforceability of this Parent Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to
any particular Note.
An Event of Default under the Indenture or any Note shall constitute an event of default under
this Parent Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holder of the Note to accelerate the obligations of
the undersigned hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the
Operating Partnership.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Parent Guarantee to the contrary, the undersigned
hereby waives any claims or other rights which it may now have or hereafter acquire against any
other Guarantor or the Operating Partnership that arise from the existence or performance of its
obligations under this Parent Guarantee (all such claims and rights are referred to as Guarantors
Conditional Rights), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy
against any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership, whether or not such claim, remedy or right
arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or
otherwise, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Guarantor or the
Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any
other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. The undersigned hereby
agrees not to exercise any rights which may be acquired by way of contribution under this Parent
Guarantee or any other agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without
limitation, the right to take or receive from any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash
or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such
contribution rights. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any amount shall be paid to the
undersigned on account of the Guarantors Conditional Rights and either (i) such amount is paid to
such undersigned party at any time when the indebtedness shall not have been paid or performed in
full, or (ii) regardless of when such amount is paid to such undersigned party, any payment made by
any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership to a Holder that is at any time determined to be a
Preferential Payment (as defined below), then such amount paid to the undersigned shall be held in
trust for the benefit of such Holder and shall forthwith be paid such Holder to be credited and
applied upon the indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured. Any such payment is herein referred
to as a Preferential Payment to the extent any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership makes any
payment to such Holder in connection with the Note, and any or all of such payment is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid or paid
over to a trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any bankruptcy act or otherwise.
To the extent that any of the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph shall not be
enforceable, the undersigned agrees that until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and
performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by any
Guarantor, the Operating Partnership or the undersigned to a Holder may be determined to be a
Preferential Payment, Guarantors Conditional Rights to the extent not validly waived shall be
subordinate to Holders right to full payment and performance of the indebtedness and the
undersigned shall not enforce any of Guarantors Conditional Rights until such time as the
indebtedness has been paid and performed in full and the period of time has expired during which
any payment made by any Guarantor, the Operating Partnership or the undersigned to Holders may be
determined to be a Preferential Payment.
The obligations of the undersigned to the Holder of the Note and to the Trustee pursuant to
this Parent Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article 14 of the Indenture and
reference is
hereby made to the Indenture for the precise terms of this Parent Guarantee and all of the
other provisions of the Indenture to which this Parent Guarantee relates.
Capitalized terms used in this Parent Guarantee which are not defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Parent Guarantee to be duly executed.
