AMB 2005

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

PURPOSE

AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) established the AMB Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan effective September 1, 1999, as amended and restated September 1, 2002 (the “Grandfathered Plan”) under which all deferred amounts were vested on or before December 31, 2004 and not subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to preserve the exemption from Section 409A of the Code for the Grandfathered Plan, the vested amounts deferred thereunder and the earnings on such vested amounts so deferred, deferrals for amounts vested on or after January 1, 2005 shall no longer be allowed under the Grandfathered Plan.

The Company hereby adopts the AMB 2005 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of a select group of management and highly compensated Employees and Directors who contribute materially to the continued growth, development and future business success of AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, that sponsor this Plan. This Plan is intended to comply with the provisions of and the Department of Treasury proposed and final rules, regulations and other guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code and not result in a penalty tax thereunder. Any deferred amounts under the Grandfathered Plan which were not earned and vested as of December 31, 2004 shall automatically transfer to this Plan. This Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

This Plan shall consist of two plans, one for the benefit of a select group of management and highly compensated employees of the Employers as described in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA, and one for the benefit of Non-Employee members of the boards of directors of any Employer. To the extent required by law, the terms of this Plan applicable to Directors shall also constitute a separate written plan document with its terms set forth in the applicable portions of this Plan.

ARTICLE 1.

DEFINITIONS

As used within this document, the following words and phrases have the meanings described in this Article 1 unless a different meaning is required by the context. Some of the words and phrases used in the Plan are not defined in this Article 1, but for convenience, are defined as they are introduced into the text. Words in the masculine gender shall be deemed to include the feminine gender. Any headings used are included for ease of reference only and are not to be construed so as to alter any of the terms of the Plan.

1.1 “Account Balance” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, a credit on the records of the Employer equal to the sum of (i) the Deferral Account balance, (ii) the vested Company Contribution Account balance, (iii) the vested Company Matching Account balance, and (iv) the Restricted Stock Account balance. The Account Balance, and each other specified account balance, shall be a bookkeeping entry only and shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a Participant, or his or her designated Beneficiary, pursuant to this Plan.

1.2 “Accounts” of a Participant shall mean, as the context indicates, either or all of his or her Deferral Account, Company Contribution Account, Company Matching Account and Restricted Stock Account.

1.4 “Annual Bonus” shall mean any compensation, in addition to Base Annual Salary relating to services performed during any calendar year, whether or not paid in such calendar year or included on the Federal Income Tax Form W-2 for such calendar year, payable to a Participant as an Employee under any Employer’s annual bonus and cash incentive plans, excluding stock options and restricted stock.

1.8 “Annual Installment Method” shall be an annual installment payment over the number of years selected by the Participant in accordance with this Plan, calculated as follows: The Account Balance of the Participant (or the Fixed Date Payout Account Balance, in the event of a Fixed Date Payout) shall be calculated as of the close of business three business days prior to the last business day of the fourth quarter preceding the distribution.

By way of example, if the Participant elects a ten year Annual Installment Method, the first payment shall be 1/10 of the Account Balance (or the Fixed Date Payout Account Balance, in the event of a Fixed Date Payout), calculated as described in this definition. The following year, the payment shall be 1/9 of the Account Balance (or the Fixed Date Payout Account Balance, in the event of a Fixed Date Payout), calculated as described in this definition.

(d) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation (or other entity); provided, that, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur (i) as the result of a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation or (ii) where more than fifty percent (50%) of the directors of the Company or the surviving entity after such merger or consolidation were directors of the Company immediately before such merger or consolidation.

Any amounts deferred pursuant to this limitation shall continue to be credited/debited with additional amounts in accordance with Section 3.8 below, even if such amount is being paid out in installments. The amounts so deferred and amounts credited thereon shall be distributed to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary (in the event of the Participant’s death) at the earliest possible date, as determined by the Employer in good faith, on which the deductibility of compensation paid or payable to the Participant for the taxable year of the Employer during which the distribution is made will not be limited by Section 162(m).

(b) Annual Company Contribution Amount. For each Plan Year, an Employer, in its sole discretion, may, but is not required to, credit any amount it desires to any Participant’s Company Contribution Account under this Plan, which amount shall be for that Participant the Annual Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year. The amount so credited to a Participant may be smaller or larger than the amount credited to any other Participant, and the amount credited to any Participant for a Plan Year may be zero, even though one or more other Participants receive an Annual Company Contribution Amount for that Plan Year.

Restricted Stock Amounts shall be credited/debited to the Participant on the books of the Employer in connection with such an election on the vesting date of the individual tranche of the award. A Participant’s Restricted Stock Account shall be credited with that number of Stock Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount of the Restricted Stock Amount then vesting and so deferred by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the vesting date.

	(ii)		In the event of a cash dividend or other non-Stock amount distributable with respect to Stock (“Non-Stock Dividends”), each of the Participant’s Accounts would be credited with an amount in cash equal to such Non-Stock Dividend. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such cash amounts shall not be credited to a Restricted Stock Account.

If an election is made in accordance with the previous sentence, it shall become effective as soon as administratively practicable and shall continue thereafter until changed in accordance with the previous sentence. Changes may be made to allocations at any time during the Plan Year, up to a maximum of six (6) changes per Participant per Plan Year.

(b) Proportionate Allocation. In making any election described in Section 3.8(a) above, the Participant shall specify on the Election Form, in increments of whole percentage points (1%), the percentage of his or her Account Balance to be allocated to a Measurement Fund (as if the Participant was making an investment in that Measurement Fund with that portion of his or her Account Balance).

(c) Measurement Funds. The Administrator shall from time to time select types of Measurement Funds and specific Measurement Funds for deemed investment designation by Participants for the purpose of crediting additional amounts to his or her Account Balance.

based on the performance of the Measurement Funds themselves. A Participant’s Account Balance shall be credited or debited as frequently as is administratively feasible, but no less often than quarterly, based on the performance of each Measurement Fund selected by the Participant, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

(e) No Actual Investment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Measurement Funds are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such Measurement Fund, the allocation to his or her Account Balance thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account Balance shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his or her Account Balance in any such Measurement Fund. In the event that the Company or the Trustee (as that term is defined in the Trust), in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the Measurement Funds, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balance shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his or her behalf by the Employer or the Trust; the Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Employers.

(f) Stock Accounts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary Restricted Stock Amounts may not be allocated to any Measurement Fund. A Participant’s Restricted Stock Account will be credited with any Restricted Stock Amounts deferred pursuant to Section 3.6(d) and any dividends deferred pursuant to Section 3.1(c).
