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 23, 2006, AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a Japan kabushiki kaisha and our subsidiary, which is Yen functional, as the initial borrower, AMB Amagasaki 2 TMK, a Japan tokutei mokuteki kaisha, AMB Narita 2 TMK, a Japan tokutei mokuteki kaisha, AMB Narita 1-1 TMK a Japan tokutei mokuteki kaisha, AMB Japan Finance 2 Y.K., a Japan kabushiki kaisha, AMB Shiohama TMK, a Japan tokutei mokuteki kaisha, AMB Kashiwa TMK, a Japan tokutei mokuteki kaisha, AMB Shinkiba TMK, a Japan tokutei mokuteki kaisha, AMB Funabashi 5 TMK, a Japan tokutei mokuteki kaisha, and AMB Tsurumi TMK, a Japan tokutei mokuteki kaisha, each of which is Yen functional, as the initial qualified borrowers, and AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and our subsidiary of which we are general partner, and us, as guarantors, entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement for a JPY45 billion (US$386 million using the exchange rate on June 23, 2006) unsecured revolving credit facility that replaced the JPY35 billion (US$300 million using the exchange rate on June 23, 2006) unsecured revolving credit facility executed on June 29, 2004, as previously amended. The amended and restated credit facility is with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as administrative agent and sole lead arranger and bookmanager, and a syndicate of other banks.
     The 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 previously existing 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 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 existing 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.
     The borrowers will use the proceeds from borrowings under this amended and restated credit agreement to fund the acquisition and development of properties, and for other real estate related purposes.
     A copy of the amended and restated revolving credit agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated into this current report by reference.
