PART I

THE COMPANY

Item 1. Business

General

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993, and is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). We are a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops, and redevelops industrial real estate. As of December 31, 2011, our in-service portfolio consisted of 354 light industrial properties, 113 R&D/flex properties, 159 bulk warehouse properties, 105 regional warehouse properties and eight manufacturing properties containing approximately 66.3 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) located in 26 states in the United States and one province in Canada. Our in-service portfolio includes all properties other than developed, redeveloped and acquired properties that have not yet reached stabilized occupancy (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased). Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in-service. Acquired properties less than 75% occupied are placed in-service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or one year from the acquisition date. Development properties are placed in-service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or one year from the date construction is completed. Redevelopments (generally projects which require capital expenditures exceeding 25% of basis) are placed in-service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or one year from the completion of renovation construction.

Our interests in our properties and land parcels are held through partnerships, corporations, and limited liability companies controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company, including the Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner with an approximate 94.3% and 92.8% ownership interest at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and through our taxable REIT subsidiaries. We also conduct operations through other partnerships and limited liability companies, the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership and the taxable REIT subsidiaries, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein.

We also own noncontrolling equity interests in, and provide services to, two joint ventures (the “2003 Net Lease Joint Venture” and the “2007 Europe Joint Venture”). During 2010, we provided various services to, and ultimately disposed of our equity interests in, five joint ventures (the “2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture,” the “2005 Core Joint Venture,” the “2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program,” the “2006 Land/Development Joint Venture” and the “2007 Canada Joint Venture;” together with the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture, the “Joint Ventures”). The Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the operating data of our Joint Ventures is not consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The 2007 Europe Joint Venture does not own any properties. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Joint Ventures.

We utilize an operating approach which combines the effectiveness of decentralized, locally-based property management, acquisition, sales and development functions with the cost efficiencies of centralized acquisition, sales and development support, capital markets expertise, asset management and fiscal control systems. At February 28, 2012, we had 176 employees.

We maintain a website at www.firstindustrial.com. Information on this website shall not constitute part of this Form 10-K.

Attention: Investor Relations

Business Objectives and Growth Plans

Our fundamental business objective is to maximize the total return to our stockholders through per share distributions and increases in the value of our properties and operations. Our long-term business growth plans include the following elements:

 

   

Internal Growth. We seek to grow internally by (i) increasing revenues by renewing or re-leasing spaces subject to expiring leases at higher rental levels; (ii) increasing occupancy levels at properties where vacancies exist and maintaining occupancy elsewhere; (iii) controlling and minimizing property operating and general and administrative expenses; and (iv) renovating existing properties.

 

   

External Growth. We seek to grow externally through (i) the development of industrial properties; (ii) the acquisition of portfolios of industrial properties, industrial property businesses or individual properties which meet our investment parameters and target markets; (iii) additional joint venture investments; and (iv) the expansion of our properties.

Our ability to pursue our long-term growth plans is affected by market conditions and our financial condition and operating capabilities.

Business Strategies

We utilize the following six strategies in connection with the operation of our business:

 

   

Organization Strategy. We implement our decentralized property operations strategy through the deployment of experienced regional management teams and local property managers. We provide acquisition, development and financing assistance, asset management oversight and financial reporting functions from our headquarters in Chicago, Illinois to support our regional operations. We believe the size of our portfolio enables us to realize operating efficiencies by spreading overhead among many properties and by negotiating purchasing discounts.

 

   

Market Strategy. Our market strategy is to concentrate on the top industrial real estate markets in the United States. These markets have one or more of the following characteristics: (i) strong industrial real estate fundamentals, including improving industrial demand expectations; (ii) a history of industry diversity and outlook for economic growth; and (iii) sufficient size to provide opportunity for ample transaction volume.

 

   

Leasing and Marketing Strategy. We have an operational management strategy designed to enhance tenant satisfaction and portfolio performance. We pursue an active leasing strategy, which includes broadly marketing available space, seeking to renew existing leases at higher rents per square foot and seeking leases which provide for the pass-through of property-related expenses to the tenant. We also have local and national marketing programs which focus on the business and real estate brokerage communities and national tenants.

 

   

Acquisition/Development Strategy. Our acquisition/development strategy is to invest in properties and other assets in the top industrial real estate markets in the United States.

 

   

Financing Strategy. To finance acquisitions, developments and debt maturities, as market conditions permit, we utilize a portion of proceeds from property sales, proceeds from mortgage financings, line

of credit borrowings under our new $450 million unsecured credit facility, and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities (see Recent Developments). We also continually evaluate joint venture arrangements as another source of capital. As of February 28, 2012, we had approximately $262.4 million available for additional borrowings under our new $450 million unsecured credit facility.

 

   

Disposition Strategy. We continuously evaluate local market conditions and property-related factors in all of our markets for purposes of identifying assets suitable for disposition. During 2010, management identified a pool of real estate assets (the “Non-Strategic Assets”) that it intends to sell. At December 31, 2011, the Non-Strategic Assets consisted of 133 industrial properties comprising approximately 11.3 million square feet of GLA and land parcels comprising approximately 359 gross acres.

Recent Developments

During December 2011, we entered into a new $450 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”). The Unsecured Credit Facility provides for interest only payments initially at LIBOR plus 210 basis points or at a base rate plus 210 basis points, at our election, based on our leverage ratio. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures on December 12, 2014, unless extended an additional year at our election, subject to certain conditions. We may request that the maximum borrowing capacity under the Unsecured Credit Facility be increased to $500 million, subject to certain conditions. The Unsecured Credit Facility replaces our previous $400 million credit facility (the “Old Credit Facility”). Our Old Credit Facility commitment was for a $200 million term borrowing, $100 million of which was paid off earlier in 2011, and an aggregate $200 million of revolving borrowings. For the term borrowing, the Old Credit Facility required interest-only payments through March 29, 2012 at LIBOR plus 325 basis points or at a base rate plus 225 basis points, at our election. For the revolving borrowings, the Old Credit Facility provided for interest only payments at LIBOR plus 275 or at a base rate plus 175 basis points, at our election. At the time the Unsecured Credit Facility was executed, we wrote off $1.2 million of unamortized deferred financing costs during 2011 related to the replacement of the Old Credit Facility, which is reflected as loss from retirement of debt on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.7 million square feet of GLA in connection with the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture at a cap rate of 8.4%. The cap rate was calculated by annualizing the contract rent in place at the time of acquisition and dividing it by the gross agreed upon fair value for the real estate. The acquisition was funded with a cash payment of $5.3 million and the assumption of a mortgage loan in the amount of $24.4 million. We also sold 36 industrial properties, at a weighted average cap rate of 6.3%, and one parcel of land for an aggregate gross sales price of $86.6 million. The cap rate is calculated by taking revenues of the property (excluding straight-line rent, lease inducement amortization and above and below market lease amortization) less operating expenses of the property for a period of twelve months prior to sale and dividing the sum by the sales price of the property. Included in the 36 industrial properties sold is one industrial property totaling approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA that we transferred title to a lender in satisfaction of a non-recourse mortgage loan (See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). At December 31, 2011, we owned 739 in-service industrial properties containing approximately 66.3 million square feet of GLA.

During 2011, we repurchased and retired prior to maturity $112.8 million of our senior unsecured notes and recognized a loss from retirement of debt on our Consolidated Statement of Operations of $2.0 million. Also, we paid off and retired our 2011 Exchangeable Notes, at maturity, in the amount of $128.9 million.

During 2011, we originated $255.9 million in mortgage financings at a weighted average interest rate of 4.57%, with maturities ranging between June 2018 and October 2021. Also, we paid off and/or retired $62.7 million in mortgage loans payable and recognized a loss on debt retirement of $2.1 million.

Table of Contents

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we issued 17,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, generating $201.4 million in net proceeds, in underwritten public offerings. Additionally, we issued 115,856 shares of the Company’s common stock, generating $1.4 million in net proceeds, under the Company’s “at-the-market” equity offering program (“ATM”).

Future Property Acquisitions, Developments and Property Sales

We have acquisition and development programs through which we seek to identify portfolio and individual industrial property acquisitions and developments.

We also sell properties based on market conditions and property-related factors. As a result, we are currently engaged in negotiations relating to the possible sale of certain industrial properties in our portfolio.

When evaluating potential industrial property acquisitions and developments, as well as potential industrial property sales, we will consider such factors as: (i) the geographic area and type of property; (ii) the location, construction quality, condition and design of the property; (iii) the terms of tenant leases, including the potential for rent increases; (iv) the potential for economic growth and the tax and regulatory environment of the area in which the property is located; (v) the occupancy and demand by tenants for properties of a similar type in the vicinity; (vi) competition from existing properties and the potential for the construction of new properties in the area. (vii) the potential for capital appreciation of the property; (viii) the ability to improve the property’s performance through renovation; and (ix) the potential for expansion of the physical layout of the property and/or the number of sites.

INDUSTRY

Industrial properties are typically used for the design, assembly, packaging, storage and distribution of goods and/or the provision of services. As a result, the demand for industrial space in the United States is related to the level of economic output. For the five years ended December 31, 2011, the national occupancy rate for industrial properties in the United States has ranged from 85.4%* to 90.4%*, with an occupancy rate of 86.4%* at December 31, 2011.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk Factors

Our operations involve various risks that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, ability to pay distributions on our common stock and the market price of our common stock. These risks, among others contained in our other filings with the SEC, include:

Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing and negatively impact our liquidity, financial condition and operating results.

From time to time the capital and credit markets in the United States and other countries experience significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which can cause the market prices of many securities and the spreads on prospective debt financings to fluctuate substantially. These circumstances can materially impact liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in some cases result in the unavailability of financing. A significant amount of our existing indebtedness was sold through capital markets transactions. We anticipate that the capital markets could be a source of refinancing of our existing indebtedness in the future. This source of refinancing may not be available if capital market volatility and disruption occurs. Furthermore, we could potentially lose access to available liquidity under our Unsecured Credit Facility if one or more participating lenders were to default on their commitments. If our ability to issue additional debt or equity securities, to finance future acquisitions, developments and redevelopments and Joint Venture activities or to borrow money under our Unsecured Credit Facility were to be impaired by capital market volatility and disruption, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.

In addition, capital and credit market price volatility could make the valuation of our properties more difficult. There may be significant uncertainty in the valuation, or in the stability of the value, of our properties that could result in a substantial decrease in the value of our properties. As a result, we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of our properties, which may require us to recognize an impairment loss in earnings.

Real estate investments’ value fluctuates depending on conditions in the general economy and the real estate business. These conditions may limit the Company’s revenues and available cash.

The factors that affect the value of our real estate and the revenues we derive from our properties include, among other things:

 

   

general economic conditions;

 

   

local, regional, national and international economic conditions and other events and occurrences that affect the markets in which we own properties;

 

   

local conditions such as oversupply or a reduction in demand in an area;

 

   

the attractiveness of the properties to tenants;

 

   

tenant defaults;

 

   

zoning or other regulatory restrictions;

 

   

competition from other available real estate;

 

   

our ability to provide adequate maintenance and insurance; and

 

   

increased operating costs, including insurance premiums and real estate taxes.

These factors may be amplified in light of the disruption of the global credit markets. Our investments in real estate assets are concentrated in the industrial sector, and the demand for industrial space in the United States

is related to the level of economic output. Accordingly, reduced economic output may lead to lower occupancy rates for our properties. In addition, if any of our tenants experiences a downturn in its business that weakens its financial condition, delays lease commencement, fails to make rental payments when due, becomes insolvent or declares bankruptcy, the result could be a termination of the tenant’s lease, which could adversely affect our cash flow from operations.

Many real estate costs are fixed, even if income from properties decreases.

Our financial results depend on leasing space to tenants on terms favorable to us. Our income and funds available for distribution to our stockholders will decrease if a significant number of our tenants cannot pay their rent or we are unable to lease properties on favorable terms. In addition, if a tenant does not pay its rent, we may not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without delays and we may incur substantial legal costs. Costs associated with real estate investment, such as real estate taxes and maintenance costs, generally are not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investment.

The Company may be unable to sell properties when appropriate because real estate investments are not as liquid as certain other types of assets.

Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly, which will tend to limit our ability to adjust our property portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. The inability to respond promptly to changes in the performance of our property portfolio could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to service debt and make distributions to our stockholders. In addition, like other companies qualifying as REITs under the Code, we must comply with the safe harbor rules relating to the number of properties disposed of in a year, their tax basis and the cost of improvements made to the properties, or meet other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. Thus, our ability at any time to sell assets may be restricted.

The Company may be unable to sell properties on advantageous terms.

We have sold to third parties a significant number of properties in recent years and, as part of our business, we intend to continue to sell properties to third parties. Our ability to sell properties on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms or redeploy the proceeds of property sales in accordance with our business strategy, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock could be adversely affected.

The Company may be unable to complete development and re-development projects on advantageous terms.

As part of our business, we develop new and re-develop existing properties when and as conditions warrant. In addition, we have sold to third parties or sold to joint ventures development and re-development properties, and we may continue to sell such properties to third parties or to sell or contribute such properties to joint ventures as opportunities arise. The real estate development and re-development business involves significant risks that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock, which include:

 

   

we may not be able to obtain financing for development projects on favorable terms and complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties and generating cash flow;

 

   

we may not be able to obtain, or may experience delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other governmental permits and authorizations;

 

   

the properties may perform below anticipated levels, producing cash flow below budgeted amounts and limiting our ability to sell such properties to third parties or to sell such properties to joint ventures.

Table of Contents

The Company may be unable to acquire properties on advantageous terms or acquisitions may not perform as the Company expects.

We acquire and intend to continue to acquire primarily industrial properties. The acquisition of properties entails various risks, including the risks that our investments may not perform as expected and that our cost estimates for bringing an acquired property up to market standards may prove inaccurate. Further, we face significant competition for attractive investment opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including both publicly-traded REITs and private investors. This competition increases as investments in real estate become attractive relative to other forms of investment. As a result of competition, we may be unable to acquire additional properties as we desire or the purchase price may be elevated. In addition, we expect to finance future acquisitions through a combination of borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility, proceeds from equity or debt offerings and debt originations by the Company and proceeds from property sales, which may not be available and which could adversely affect our cash flow. Any of the above risks could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market value of, our common stock.

The Company may be unable to renew leases or find other lessees.

We are subject to the risks that, upon expiration, leases may not be renewed, the space subject to such leases may not be relet or the terms of renewal or reletting, including the cost of required renovations, may be less favorable than expiring lease terms. If we were unable to promptly renew a significant number of expiring leases or to promptly relet the space covered by such leases, or if the rental rates upon renewal or reletting were significantly lower than the current rates, our financial condition, results of operation, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock could be adversely affected. As of December 31, 2011, leases with respect to approximately 8.2 million, 11.3 million and 8.5 million square feet of GLA, representing 15%, 20% and 15% of our total GLA, expire in 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

The Company might fail to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.

We intend to operate so as to qualify as a REIT under the Code. Although we believe that we are organized and will operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT, qualification as a REIT involves the satisfaction of numerous requirements, some of which must be met on a recurring basis. These requirements are established under highly technical and complex Code provisions of which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations and involve the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control.

If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at corporate rates. This could result in a discontinuation or substantial reduction in dividends to stockholders and in cash to pay interest and principal on debt securities that we issue. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we would be disqualified from electing treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we failed to qualify as a REIT.

Certain property transfers may generate prohibited transaction income, resulting in a penalty tax on the gain attributable to the transaction.

As part of our business, we sell properties to third parties as opportunities arise. Under the Code, a 100% penalty tax could be assessed on the gain resulting from sales of properties that are deemed to be prohibited transactions. The question of what constitutes a prohibited transaction is based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each transaction. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) could contend that certain sales of properties by us are prohibited transactions. While we do not believe that the IRS would prevail in such a dispute, if the matter were successfully argued by the IRS, the 100% penalty tax could be assessed against the profits from these transactions. In addition, any income from a prohibited transaction may adversely affect our ability to satisfy the income tests for qualification as a REIT.

Table of Contents

The REIT distribution requirements may limit the Company’s ability to retain capital and require the Company to turn to external financing sources.

We could, in certain instances, have taxable income without sufficient cash to enable us to meet the distribution requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code. In that situation, we could be required to borrow funds or sell properties on adverse terms in order to meet those distribution requirements. In addition, because we must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income each year, our ability to accumulate capital may be limited. Thus, to provide capital resources for our ongoing business, and to satisfy our debt repayment obligations and other liquidity needs, we may be more dependent on outside sources of financing, such as debt financing or issuances of additional capital stock, which may or may not be available on favorable terms. Additional debt financings may substantially increase our leverage and additional equity offerings may result in substantial dilution of stockholders’ interests.

Debt financing, the degree of leverage and rising interest rates could reduce the Company’s cash flow.

Where possible, we intend to continue to use leverage to increase the rate of return on our investments and to allow us to make more investments than we otherwise could. Our use of leverage presents an additional element of risk in the event that the cash flow from our properties is insufficient to meet both debt payment obligations and the distribution requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code. In addition, rising interest rates would reduce our cash flow by increasing the amount of interest due on our floating rate debt and on our fixed rate debt as it matures and is refinanced.

Failure to comply with covenants in our debt agreements could adversely affect our financial condition.

The terms of our agreements governing our Unsecured Credit Facility and other indebtedness require that we comply with a number of financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios and maintaining insurance coverage. Complying with such covenants may limit our operational flexibility. Our failure to comply with these covenants could cause a default under the applicable debt agreement even if we have satisfied our payment obligations. Consistent with our prior practice, we will, in the future, continue to interpret and certify our performance under these covenants in a good faith manner that we deem reasonable and appropriate. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by the noteholders or lenders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs. We anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants in 2012. Our ability to meet our financial covenants may be adversely affected if economic and credit market conditions limit our ability to reduce our debt levels consistent with, or result in net operating income below, our current expectations. Under our Unsecured Credit Facility, an event of default can also occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreement.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, we would be subject to higher finance costs and fees, and the lenders under our Unsecured Credit Facility will not be required to lend any additional amounts to us. In addition, our outstanding senior unsecured notes as well as all outstanding borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, could be accelerated and declared to be immediately due and payable. Furthermore, our Unsecured Credit Facility and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain cross-default provisions, which are triggered in the event that our other material indebtedness is in default. These cross-default provisions may require us to repay or restructure the Unsecured Credit Facility and the senior unsecured notes or other debt that is in default, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock. If repayment of any of our borrowings is accelerated, we cannot provide assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay such indebtedness or that we would be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance such indebtedness. Even if we are able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms, or terms that are acceptable to us.

Cross-collateralization of mortgage loans could result in foreclosure on substantially all of the Company’s properties if the Company is unable to service its indebtedness.

We may obtain additional mortgage debt financing in the future, if it is available to us. These mortgages may be issued on a recourse, non-recourse or cross-collateralized basis. Cross-collateralization makes all of the subject properties available to the lender in order to satisfy our debt. Holders of indebtedness that is so secured will have a claim against these properties. To the extent indebtedness is cross-collateralized, lenders may seek to foreclose upon properties that are not the primary collateral for their loan, which may, in turn, result in acceleration of other indebtedness secured by properties. Foreclosure of properties would result in a loss of income and asset value to us, making it difficult for us to meet both debt payment obligations and the distribution requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code. At December 31, 2011, mortgage loans payable totaling $390.2 million were cross-collateralized.

The Company may have to make lump-sum payments on its existing indebtedness.

We are required to make the following lump-sum or “balloon” payments under the terms of some of our indebtedness, including indebtedness of the Operating Partnership:

 

   

$35.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.750% Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”)

 

   

$125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.600% Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”)

 

   

$6.1 million aggregate principal amount of 7.150% Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”)

 

   

$106.9 million aggregate principal amount of 5.950% Notes due 2017 (the “2017 II Notes”)

 

   

$59.6 million aggregate principal amount of 7.500% Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”)

 

   

$159.7 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”)

 

   

$90.8 million aggregate principal amount of 6.420% Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”)

 

   

$61.8 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”)

 

   

$601.5 million in mortgage loans payable, in the aggregate, due between January 2014 and October 2021 on certain of our mortgage loans payable.

 

   

a $450.0 million Unsecured Credit Facility under which we may borrow to finance the acquisition of additional properties and for other corporate purposes, including working capital.

As of December 31, 2011, $149.0 million was outstanding under the Unsecured Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 2.385%, maturing December 12, 2014.

Our ability to make required payments of principal on outstanding indebtedness, whether at maturity or otherwise, may depend on our ability either to refinance the applicable indebtedness or to sell properties. We have no commitments to refinance the 2012 Notes, the 2014 Notes, the 2016 Notes, the 2017 Notes, the 2017 II Notes, the 2027 Notes, the 2028 Notes, the 2032 Notes, the Unsecured Credit Facility or the mortgage loans. Our existing mortgage loan obligations are collateralized by our properties and therefore such obligations will permit the lender to foreclose on those properties in the event of a default.

There is no limitation on debt in the Company’s organizational documents.

As of December 31, 2011, our ratio of debt to our total market capitalization was 54.9%. We compute the percentage by calculating our total consolidated debt as a percentage of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of our common stock, assuming the exchange of all limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership for common stock, plus the aggregate stated value of all outstanding shares of preferred stock and total consolidated debt. Our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount or percentage of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service that could adversely affect our ability to make expected distributions to stockholders and an increased risk of default on our obligations.

Rising interest rates on the Company’s Unsecured Credit Facility could decrease the Company’s available cash.

Our Unsecured Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate. As of December 31, 2011, our Unsecured Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of $149.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 2.385%. Our Unsecured Credit Facility presently bears interest at LIBOR plus 210 basis points or at a base rate plus 210 basis points, at our election. Based on the outstanding balance on our Unsecured Credit Facility as of December 31, 2011, a 10% increase in interest rates would increase interest expense by $0.4 million on an annual basis. Increases in the interest rate payable on balances outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Facility would decrease our cash available for distribution to stockholders.

The Company’s mortgages may impact the Company’s ability to sell encumbered properties on advantageous terms or at all.

As part of our plan to enhance liquidity and pay down our debt, we have originated numerous mortgage financings and from time to time engage in active discussions with various lenders regarding the origination of additional mortgage financings. Certain of our mortgages contain, and it is anticipated that some future mortgages will contain, substantial prepayment premiums which we would have to pay upon the sale of a property, thereby reducing the net proceeds to us from the sale of any such property. As a result, our willingness to sell certain properties and the price at which we may desire to sell a property may be impacted by the terms of any mortgage financing encumbering a property. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms or redeploy the proceeds of property sales in accordance with our business strategy, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock could be adversely affected.

Adverse market and economic conditions could cause us to recognize additional impairment charges.

We regularly review our real estate assets for impairment indicators, such as a decline in a property’s occupancy rate or decline in general market conditions. If we determine that indicators of impairment are present, we review the properties affected by these indicators to determine whether an impairment charge is required. We use considerable judgment in making determinations about impairments, from analyzing whether there are indicators of impairment to the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the investment. Accordingly, our subjective estimates and evaluations may not be accurate, and such estimates and evaluations are subject to change or revision.

From time to time, adverse market and economic conditions and market volatility make it difficult to value the real estate assets owned by us as well as the value of our interests in unconsolidated joint ventures. There may be significant uncertainty in the valuation, or in the stability of the cash flows, discount rates and other factors related to such assets due to the adverse market and economic conditions that could result in a substantial decrease in their value. We may be required to recognize additional asset impairment charges in the future, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Earnings and cash dividends, asset value and market interest rates affect the price of the Company’s common stock.

As a REIT, the market value of our common stock, in general, is based primarily upon the market’s perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings and cash dividends. The market value of our common stock is also based upon the market value of our underlying real estate assets. For this reason, shares of our common stock may trade at prices that are higher or lower than our net asset value per share. To the extent that we retain operating cash flow for investment purposes, working capital reserves, or other purposes, these retained funds, while increasing the value of our underlying assets, may not correspondingly increase the market price of our common stock. Our failure to meet the market’s expectations with regard to future earnings and cash dividends likely would adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Further, the distribution yield on the common stock (as a percentage of the price of the common stock) relative to market interest rates may also influence the price of our common stock. An increase in market interest rates might lead prospective purchasers of our common stock to expect a higher distribution yield, which would adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The Company may incur unanticipated costs and liabilities due to environmental problems.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of clean-up of certain conditions relating to the presence of hazardous or toxic materials on, in or emanating from a property, and any related damages to natural resources. Environmental laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic materials. The presence of such materials, or the failure to address those conditions properly, may adversely affect the ability to rent or sell the property or to borrow using the property as collateral. Persons who dispose of or arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic materials may also be liable for the costs of clean-up of such materials, or for related natural resource damages, at or from an off-site disposal or treatment facility, whether or not the facility is owned or operated by those persons. No assurance can be given that existing environmental assessments with respect to any of our properties reveal all environmental liabilities, that any prior owner or operator of any of the properties did not create any material environmental condition not known to us or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist as to any of our properties. In addition, changes to existing environmental regulation to address, among other things, climate change, could increase the scope of our potential liabilities.

The Company’s insurance coverage does not include all potential losses.

We currently carry comprehensive insurance coverage including property, boiler & machinery, liability, fire, flood, terrorism, earthquake, extended coverage and rental loss as appropriate for the markets where each of our properties and their business operations are located. The insurance coverage contains policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties and business activities. We believe our properties are adequately insured. However, there are certain losses, including losses from earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, pollution, acts of war, acts of terrorism or riots, that are not generally insured against or that are not generally fully insured against because it is not deemed to be economically feasible or prudent to do so. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs with respect to one or more of our properties, we could experience a significant loss of capital invested and potential revenues from these properties, and could potentially remain obligated under any recourse debt associated with the property.

The Company is subject to risks and liabilities in connection with its investments in properties through Joint Ventures.

As of December 31, 2011, the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture owned approximately 3.4 million square feet of properties (see Subsequent Events). Our net investment in this Joint Venture was $1.7 million at December 31, 2011. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we may invest in joint ventures and we intend to continue to develop and acquire properties through joint ventures with other persons or entities when warranted by the circumstances. Joint venture investments, in general, involve certain risks, including:

 

   

joint venturers may share certain approval rights over major decisions;

 

   

joint venturers might fail to fund their share of any required capital commitments;

 

   

joint venturers might have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals that would affect our ability to operate the property;

 

   

joint venturers may have the power to act contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including our current policy with respect to maintaining our qualification as a real estate investment trust;

 

   

the joint venture agreements often restrict the transfer of a member’s or joint venturer’s interest or “buy-sell” or may otherwise restrict our ability to sell the interest when we desire or on advantageous terms;

 

   

disputes between us and our joint venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business and subject the properties owned by the applicable joint venture to additional risk; and

 

14


Table of Contents
   

we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our joint venturers.

The occurrence of one or more of the events described above could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock.

In addition, joint venture investments in real estate involve all of the risks related to the ownership, acquisition, development, sale and financing of real estate discussed in the risk factors above. To the extent our investments in joint ventures are adversely affected by such risks our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock could be adversely affected.

We are subject to risks associated with our international operations.

As of December 31, 2011, we owned one industrial property and one land parcel located in Canada. Our international operations will be subject to risks inherent in doing business abroad, including:

 

   

exposure to the economic fluctuations in the locations in which we invest;

 

   

difficulties and costs associated with complying with a wide variety of complex laws, treaties and regulations;

 

   

revisions in tax treaties or other laws and regulations, including those governing the taxation of our international revenues;

 

   

obstacles to the repatriation of earnings and funds;

 

   

currency exchange rate fluctuations between the United States dollar and foreign currencies;

 

   

restrictions on the transfer of funds; and

 

   

national, regional and local political uncertainty.

When we acquire properties located outside of the United States, we may face risks associated with a lack of market knowledge or understanding of the local economy, forging new business relationships in the area and unfamiliarity with local government and permitting procedures. We work to mitigate such risks through extensive diligence and research and associations with experienced partners; however, there can be no guarantee that all such risks will be eliminated.

Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively affect our liquidity and business operations.

The credit ratings of the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured notes and the Company’s preferred stock are based on the Company’s operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analyses. Our credit ratings can affect the availability, terms and pricing of any indebtedness and preferred stock that we may incur going forward. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain any credit rating, and in the event any credit rating is downgraded, we could incur higher borrowing costs or be unable to access certain capital markets at all.

Item 2. Properties

General

At December 31, 2011, we owned 739 in-service industrial properties containing an aggregate of approximately 66.3 million square feet of GLA in 26 states and one province in Canada, with a diverse base of approximately 1,900 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses, including manufacturing, retail, wholesale

trade, distribution and professional services. The average annual rent per square foot on a portfolio basis, calculated at December 31, 2011, was $4.40. The properties are generally located in business parks that have convenient access to interstate highways and/or rail and air transportation. We maintain insurance on our properties that we believe is adequate.

We classify our properties into five industrial categories: light industrial, R&D/flex, bulk warehouse, regional warehouse and manufacturing. While some properties may have characteristics which fall under more than one property type, we use what we believe is the most dominant characteristic to categorize the property.

The following describes, generally, the different industrial categories:

 

   

Light industrial properties are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of 16-21 feet, are comprised of 5%-50% of office space and contain less than 50% of manufacturing space.

 

   

R&D/flex buildings are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of less than 16 feet, are comprised of 50% or more of office space and contain less than 25% of manufacturing space.

 

   

Bulk warehouse buildings are of more than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of at least 22 feet, are comprised of 5%-15% of office space and contain less than 25% of manufacturing space.

 

   

Regional warehouses are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of at least 22 feet, are comprised of 5%-15% of office space and contain less than 25% of manufacturing space.

 

   

Manufacturing properties are a diverse category of buildings that have various ceiling heights, are comprised of 5%-15% of office space and contain at least 50% of manufacturing space.

Each of the properties is wholly owned by us. The following tables summarize certain information as of December 31, 2011, with respect to our in-service properties.

Property Acquisition/Development Activity

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we acquired one industrial property with a fair value of approximately $30.6 million in connection with the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. The acquisition was funded with a cash payment of $5.3 million and the assumption of a mortgage loan in the amount of $24.4 million. The acquired industrial property has the following characteristics:

At December 31, 2011 we have one building comprising 0.7 million square feet of GLA located in the Inland Empire market that is under development. The estimated completion cost, inclusive of impairment charges recorded prior to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, is approximately $34.7 million. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated completion cost.

Property Sales

During 2011, we sold 36 industrial properties totaling approximately 2.9 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. Total gross sales proceeds approximated $86.6 million. The 36 industrial properties sold have the following characteristics:

Property Acquisitions and Sales Subsequent to Year End

From January 1, 2012 to February 28, 2012, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA in connection with the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. The acquisition was funded through the assumption of a mortgage loan in the amount of $12.0 million, which was subsequently paid off at closing and a cash payment of $8.3 million. We will account for this transaction as a step acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting. There were no industrial properties sold during this time.

Tenant and Lease Information

We have a diverse base of approximately 1,900 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses including manufacturing, retail, wholesale trade, distribution and professional services. At December 31, 2011, our leases have a weighted average lease length of 5.8 years and provide for periodic rent increases that are either fixed or based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. Industrial tenants typically have net or semi-net leases and pay as additional rent their percentage of the property’s operating costs, including the costs of common area maintenance, property taxes and insurance. As of December 31, 2011, approximately 88% of the GLA of our in-service properties was leased, and no single tenant or group of related tenants accounted for more than 2.7% of our rent revenues, nor did any single tenant or group of related tenants occupy more than 2.0% of the total GLA of our in-service properties.

We had 559 common stockholders of record registered with our transfer agent as of February 28, 2012.

In order to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code, we are generally required to make common share distributions and preferred share distributions (other than capital gain distributions) to our shareholders in amounts that together at least equal i) the sum of a) 90% of our “REIT taxable income” computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains and b) 90% of net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus ii) certain excess non-cash income.

Our common share distribution policy is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on multiple factors, including cash flow and capital expenditure requirements, as well as ensuring that we meet the minimum distribution requirements set forth in the Code. We met the minimum distribution requirements with respect to 2011.

During 2011, the Operating Partnership did not issue any units of limited partnership interest (“Units”).

Subject to lock-up periods and certain adjustments, Units of the Operating Partnership are redeemable for common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis or cash at the option of the Company.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

In addition, the following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “seek,” “target,” “potential,” “focus,” “may,” “should” or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a materially adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to: changes in national, international, regional and local economic conditions generally and real estate markets specifically; changes in legislation/regulation (including changes to laws governing the taxation of REITs) and actions of regulatory authorities (including the IRS); our ability to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT; the availability and attractiveness of financing (including both public and private capital) to us and to our potential counterparties; the availability and attractiveness of terms of additional debt repurchases; interest rates; our credit agency ratings; our ability to comply with applicable financial covenants; competition; changes in supply and demand for industrial properties (including land, the supply and demand for which is inherently more volatile than other types of industrial property) in the Company’s current and proposed market areas; difficulties in consummating acquisitions and dispositions; risks related to our investments in properties through joint ventures; environmental liabilities; slippages in development or lease-up schedules; tenant creditworthiness; higher-than-expected costs; changes in asset valuations and related impairment charges; changes in general accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to real estate investment trusts; international business risks and those additional factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” and in our other filings with the SEC. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements, which reflect our analysis only and speak only as of the date of this report or the dates indicated in the statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements.

The Company was organized in the state of Maryland on August 10, 1993. We are a REIT, as defined in the Code. We began operations on July 1, 1994. Our interests in our properties and land parcels are held through partnerships, corporations, and limited liability companies controlled, directly or indirectly, by us, including First Industrial, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, and through our taxable REIT subsidiaries. We also conduct operations through other partnerships and limited liability companies, the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership and the taxable REIT subsidiaries, is consolidated with that of the Company, as presented herein.

We also own noncontrolling equity interests in, and provide services to, two joint ventures (the “2003 Net Lease Joint Venture” and the “2007 Europe Joint Venture”). During 2010, we provided various services to, and ultimately disposed of our equity interests in, five joint ventures (the “2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture,” the “2005 Core Joint Venture,” the “2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program,” the “2006 Land/Development Joint Venture” and the “2007 Canada Joint Venture;” together with the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture, the “Joint Ventures”). The Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the operating data of our Joint Ventures is not consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The 2007 Europe Joint Venture does not own any properties. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Joint Ventures.

We believe our financial condition and results of operations are, primarily, a function of our performance in four key areas: leasing of industrial properties, acquisition and development of additional industrial properties, disposition of industrial properties and access to external capital.

Table of Contents

We generate revenue primarily from rental income and tenant recoveries from long-term (generally three to six years) operating leases of our industrial properties. Such revenue is offset by certain property specific operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities and insurance expenses, along with certain other costs and expenses, such as depreciation and amortization costs and general and administrative and interest expenses. Our revenue growth is dependent, in part, on our ability to (i) increase rental income, through increasing either or both occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties, (ii) maximize tenant recoveries and (iii) minimize operating and certain other expenses. Revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries are a significant source of funds, in addition to income generated from gains/losses on the sale of our properties (as discussed below), for our liquidity. The leasing of property, in general, and occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and certain non-operating expenses, in particular, are impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The leasing of property also entails various risks, including the risk of tenant default. If we were unable to maintain or increase occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties or to maintain tenant recoveries and operating and certain other expenses consistent with historical levels and proportions, our revenue would decline. Further, if a significant number of our tenants were unable to pay rent (including tenant recoveries) or if we were unable to rent our properties on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock would be adversely affected.

Our revenue growth is also dependent, in part, on our ability to acquire existing, and acquire and develop new, additional industrial properties on favorable terms. The Company seeks to identify opportunities to acquire existing industrial properties on favorable terms, and, when conditions permit, also seeks to identify opportunities to acquire and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. Existing properties, as they are acquired, and acquired and developed properties, as they are leased, generate revenue from rental income, tenant recoveries and fees, income from which, as discussed above, is a source of funds for our distributions. The acquisition and development of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The acquisition and development of properties also entails various risks, including the risk that our investments may not perform as expected. For example, acquired existing and acquired and developed new properties may not sustain and/or achieve anticipated occupancy and rental rate levels. With respect to acquired and developed new properties, we may not be able to complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties. Also, we face significant competition for attractive acquisition and development opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including both publicly-traded REITs and private investors. Further, as discussed below, we may not be able to finance the acquisition and development opportunities we identify. If we were unable to acquire and develop sufficient additional properties on favorable terms, or if such investments did not perform as expected, our revenue growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock would be adversely affected.

We also generate income from the sale of our properties (including existing buildings, buildings which we have developed or re-developed on a merchant basis and land). The gain/loss on, and fees from, the sale of such properties are included in our income and can be a significant source of funds, in addition to revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries, for our operations. Currently, a significant portion of our proceeds from sales are being used to repay outstanding debt. Market conditions permitting, however, a significant portion of our proceeds from such sales may be used to fund the acquisition of existing, and the acquisition and development of new, industrial properties. The sale of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The sale of properties also entails various risks, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. Further, our ability to sell properties is limited by safe harbor rules applying to REITs under the Code which relate to the number of properties that may be disposed of in a year, their tax bases and the cost of improvements made to the properties, along with other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms, our income growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock could be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

We utilize a portion of the net sales proceeds from property sales, borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility, and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional debt and equity securities to refinance debt and finance future acquisitions and developments. Access to external capital on favorable terms plays a key role in our financial condition and results of operations, as it impacts our cost of capital and our ability and cost to refinance existing indebtedness as it matures and to fund acquisitions and developments or through the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities. Our ability to access external capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our preferred stock and debt, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions and the market price of our capital stock. If we are unable to access external capital on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock could be adversely affected.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies relate to the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

   

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts which is based on estimates of potential losses which could result from the inability of our tenants to satisfy outstanding billings with us. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate based on our assessment of the creditworthiness of our tenants.

 

   

We review our held-for-use properties on a continuous basis for possible impairment and provide a provision if impairments are determined. We utilize the guidelines established under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) guidance for accounting for the impairment of long lived assets to determine if impairment conditions exist. We review the expected undiscounted cash flows of the property to determine if there are any indications of impairment. If the expected undiscounted cash flows of a particular property are less than the net book basis of the property, we will recognize an impairment charge equal to the amount of carrying value of the property that exceeds the fair value of the property. Fair value is determined by discounting the future expected cash flows of the property. The preparation of the undiscounted cash flows and the calculation of fair value involve subjective assumptions such as estimated occupancy, rental rates, ultimate residual value and hold period. The discount rate used to present value the cash flows for determining fair value is also subjective.

 

   

Properties are classified as held for sale when all criteria within the FASB’s guidance relating to the disposal of long lived assets are met for such properties. When properties are classified as held for sale, we cease depreciating the properties and estimate the values of such properties and record them at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and, as a result, we decide not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, we will reclassify such property as held and used. We estimate the value of such property and measure it at the lower of its carrying amount (adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. Fair value of operational industrial properties is determined either by discounting the future expected cash flows of the property or by third party contract prices. The preparation of the discounted cash flows and the calculation of fair value involve subjective assumptions such as estimated occupancy, rental rates, ultimate residual value, hold period and discount rate. Fair value of land is primarily determined by members of management who are responsible for the individual markets where the land parcels are located, quotes from local brokers or by third party contract prices. The determination of the fair value of real estate assets is also highly subjective, especially in markets where there is a lack of recent comparable transactions.

 

   

We analyze our investments in Joint Ventures to determine whether the joint ventures should be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or consolidated into our financial statements based on standards set forth under the FASB’s guidance relating to the consolidation of variable interest entities. Based on the guidance set forth in these pronouncements, we do not consolidate any of

 

26


Table of Contents
 

our joint venture investments because either the joint venture has been determined to be a variable interest entity but we are not the primary beneficiary or the joint venture has been determined not to be a variable interest entity and we lack control of the joint venture. Our assessment of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity involves the consideration of various factors including the form of our ownership interest, our representation on the entity’s governing body, the size of our investment and future cash flows of the entity.

 

   

On a continuous basis, we assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our investments in Joint Ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired if our estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. Our estimates of fair value for each investment are based on a number of subjective assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, market rental rates and operating costs, the discount rate used to value the cash flows of the properties, the cap rate used to estimate the terminal value of the underlying properties and the discount rate used to value the Joint Ventures’ debt.

 

   

We capitalize (direct and certain indirect) costs incurred in developing, renovating, acquiring and rehabilitating real estate assets as part of the investment basis. During the land development and construction periods, we capitalize interest costs, real estate taxes and certain general and administrative costs of the personnel performing development, renovations or rehabilitation up to the time the property is substantially complete. The determination and calculation of certain costs requires estimates by us. Amounts included in capitalized costs are included in the investment basis of real estate assets.

 

   

We are engaged in the acquisition of individual properties as well as multi-property portfolios. We are required to allocate purchase price between land, building, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, in-place leases, tenant relationships and above and below market leases. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rents for each corresponding in-place lease. Acquired above and below market leases are amortized over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases as an adjustment to rental income. In-place lease and tenant relationship values for acquired properties are recorded based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the respective tenant. The value allocated to in-place lease intangible assets is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining lease term of the respective lease. The value allocated to tenant relationships is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the expected term of the relationship, which includes an estimate of the probability of lease renewal and its estimated term. We also must allocate purchase price on multi-property portfolios to individual properties. The allocation of purchase price is based on our assessment of various characteristics of the markets where the property is located and the expected cash flows of the property.

 

   

In the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, significant management judgment is required to estimate our current and deferred income tax liabilities, and our compliance with REIT qualification requirements. Our estimates are based on our interpretation of tax laws. These estimates may have an impact on the income tax expense recognized. Adjustments may be required by a change in assessment of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities, changes due to audit adjustments by federal and state tax authorities, our inability to qualify as a REIT, and changes in tax laws. Adjustments required in any given period are included within the income tax provision.

 

   

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, we estimate future taxable income, considering the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies and the realizability of tax loss carryforwards. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or a

 

27


Table of Contents
 

portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made. Conversely, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, we would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through an increase to income in the period in which that determination is made.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2011 to Year Ended December 31, 2010

Our net loss available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders and participating securities was $27.0 million and $222.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Basic and diluted net loss available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders was $0.34 per share for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $3.53 per share for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The tables below summarize our revenues, property and construction expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2010 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2011 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2010 or were substantially completed for the 12 months prior to January 1, 2010. Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service. All other properties are placed in service as they reach the earlier of a) stabilized occupancy (generally defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisition or development completion. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2009 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2011. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2009. (Re)Developments and land are land parcels and developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2010 or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2010. Other revenues are derived from the operations of our maintenance company, fees earned from our Joint Ventures and other miscellaneous revenues. Construction revenues and expenses represent revenues earned and expenses incurred in connection with certain subsidiaries of the Company acting as development manager to construct industrial properties. Other expenses are derived from the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous regional expenses.

Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the future acquisition and sale of properties. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the occupancy rates of our same store properties were 86.0% and 82.7%, respectively.

Revenues from same store properties decreased $2.8 million due primarily to a decrease in lease cancelation fees and rental rates, offset by an increase in occupancy. Revenues from acquired properties increased $2.3 million due to the four industrial properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2009 totaling approximately 1.2 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from sold properties decreased $6.6 million due to the 49 industrial properties and one leased land parcel sold subsequent to December 31, 2009 totaling approximately 4.0 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from (re)developments and land increased $0.2 million primarily due to an increase in occupancy. Other revenues decreased $3.7 million due primarily to a decrease in fees earned from our Joint Ventures. Construction revenues decreased $0.9 million due to the substantial completion during 2010 of certain development projects for which we were acting in the capacity of development manager.

Property expenses include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other property related expenses. Property expenses from same store properties remained relatively unchanged. Property expenses from acquired properties increased $0.4 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2009. Property expenses from sold properties decreased $2.7 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2009. Property expenses from (re)developments and land decreased $0.2 million due to a decrease in real estate tax expense and a decrease in bad debt expense. The $1.7 million decrease in other expense is primarily attributable to a decrease in compensation resulting from a reduction in employee headcount. Construction expenses decreased $0.5 million due to the substantial completion during 2010 of certain development projects for which we were acting in the capacity of development manager.

General and administrative expense decreased $6.0 million, or 22.4%, due primarily to a decrease in compensation expense resulting from the reduction in employee headcount that occurred in 2010, a decrease in rent expense resulting from a reduction in office space during 2011 and 2010, a decrease in lawsuit settlement expense and a decrease in franchise tax expense primarily due to the reversal of a state franchise tax reserve relating to the 1996-2001 tax years.

We committed to a plan to reduce organizational and overhead costs in October 2008 and have subsequently modified that plan with the goal of further reducing these costs. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized $1.6 million in restructuring charges to provide for costs associated with the termination of certain office leases ($1.2 million) and other costs ($0.4 million) associated with implementing our restructuring plan. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized $1.9 million in restructuring charges to provide for employee severance and benefits ($0.5 million), costs associated with the termination of certain office leases ($0.7 million) and other costs ($0.7 million) associated with implementing our restructuring plan.

On October 22, 2010, we amended our Old Credit Facility. In conjunction with the amendment, management identified a pool of real estate assets (the “Non-Strategic Assets”) that it intends to sell. At December 31, 2010, all of the Non-Strategic Assets, which consisted of 193 industrial properties comprising

 

29


Table of Contents

approximately 16.1 million square feet of GLA and land parcels comprising approximately 695 acres, were classified as held for sale (except one industrial property comprising 0.3 million square feet of GLA). An impairment charge of $185.4 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2010 related to certain of the Non-Strategic Assets due to a reassessment of the hold period. The impairment charge was necessary in order to adjust the carrying value of the assets to fair market value less costs to sell. At December 31, 2011, there are 87 industrial properties comprising approximately 6.5 million square feet of GLA that no longer qualify to be classified as held for sale and as such, any impairment charge or reversal recorded during 2011 and 2010 is reflected in continuing operations. Additionally, any impairment charge or reversal related to a land parcel, whether held for sale or held for use, is reflected in continuing operations. The impairment reversal included in continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $8.8 million is primarily comprised of a reversal of impairment of $2.9 million relating to certain industrial properties and land parcels that no longer qualify for held for sale classification and $5.9 million relating to a sold land parcel.

In addition to the $185.4 million of impairment recorded related to the Non-Strategic Assets, in connection with our periodic review of the carrying values of our properties and the negotiation of a new lease, we recorded an impairment charge of $9.2 million during the first quarter of 2010 related to one property located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Depreciation and other amortization for same store properties decreased $10.3 million primarily due to the cessation of depreciation and amortization of the Non-Strategic Assets that qualified for held for sale classification during 2011 as well as accelerated depreciation and amortization taken during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, attributable to certain tenants who terminated their lease early. Depreciation and other amortization from acquired properties increased $1.6 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2009. Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased $3.8 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2009. Depreciation and other amortization for (re)developments and land and other increased $0.3 million due primarily to an increase in the substantial completion of developments. Corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment decreased $0.5 million primarily due to assets becoming fully depreciated.

Interest income decreased $0.4 million, or 10.1%, due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average mortgage loans receivable balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010.

Interest expense, inclusive of $0.1 million and $0.3 million of interest expense included in discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, decreased $6.0 million, or 5.6%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2011 ($1,594.3 million) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 ($1,867.8 million) and by an increase in capitalized interest for the year ended December 31, 2011 due to an increase in development activities, offset

by an increase in the weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2011 (6.31%), as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 (5.68%).

Amortization of deferred financing costs increased $0.5 million, or 14.1%, due primarily to an increase in financing costs related to the amendment of our Old Credit Facility in October 2010.

In October 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Series F Agreement”) to mitigate our exposure to floating interest rates related to the coupon reset of the Company’s Series F Preferred Stock. The Series F Agreement has a notional value of $50.0 million and is effective from April 1, 2009 through October 1, 2013. The Series F Agreement fixes the 30-year U.S. Treasury rate at 5.2175%. We recorded $1.7 million in mark to market loss, inclusive of $0.6 million in swap payments, which is included in Mark-to-Market (Loss) Gain on Interest Rate Protection Agreements for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $1.1 million in mark to market loss, inclusive of $0.5 million in swap payments, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized a net loss from retirement of debt of $5.5 million due primarily to the early payoff of certain mortgage loans, the partial repurchase of certain series of our senior unsecured notes, the write-off of unamortized fees associated with the Old Credit Facility and a loss on a transfer of a property to a lender in satisfaction of a mortgage loan. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized a net loss from retirement of debt of $4.3 million due primarily to the redemption of our 2011 Notes.

Foreign currency exchange loss of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 relates to the wind-down of our operations in Canada. Foreign currency exchange loss of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 relates to the wind-down of our operations in Europe.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, Equity in Income of Joint Ventures was $1.0 million, as compared to Equity in Income of Joint Ventures of $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $0.3 million is due primarily to selling our equity interests in five joint ventures (the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, the 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 2007 Canada Joint Venture) during 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, our pro rata share of net losses from two of the sold joint ventures of $2.3 million was offset by our pro rata share of net income from three of the sold joint ventures of $2.1 million.

The Gain on Sale of Joint Venture Interests of $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 relates to the sale of our 10% equity interests in each of the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, the 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 2007 Canada Joint Venture to our joint venture partner on August 5, 2010. Additionally, the gain includes approximately $2.7 million of proceeds related to the separate sales of three industrial properties by the Joint Ventures during August and October 2010 for which, in accordance with the sale agreement, we were entitled to a final distribution.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, Gain on Change in Control of Interests relates to the acquisition of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. The $0.7 million gain is the difference between our carrying value and fair value of our equity interest on the acquisition date.

Income tax provision (included in continuing operations, discontinued operations and gain on sale of real estate) decreased by $1.2 million, or 35.0% for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase in state taxes in 2010 due to a one time unfavorable court decision on business loss carryforwards in the State of Michigan in 2010 and gain on sale of joint venture interests in 2010, partially offset by an increase in gain on sale of real estate within our taxable REIT subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010.

Income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 reflects the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate relating to 36 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2011 and the results of operations of 46 industrial properties that were identified as held for sale at December 31, 2011. The impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $6.1 million relates to an impairment charge related to certain Non-Strategic assets that were either sold during the year or classified as held for sale at December 31, 2011.

Loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 reflects the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate relating to 13 industrial properties and one land parcel that generated ground rental revenue that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2010, the results of operations of 36 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2011 and the results of operations of the 46 industrial properties identified as held for sale at December 31, 2011. The impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $81.6 million relates to an impairment charge related to certain Non-Strategic assets that were either sold during the year or classified as held for sale at December 31, 2011.

The $1.4 million gain on sale of real estate for the year ended December 31, 2011 resulted from the sale of one land parcel that did not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations. The $0.9 million gain on sale of real estate for the year ended December 31, 2010 resulted from the sale of several land parcels that did not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2010 to Year Ended December 31, 2009

Our net loss available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders and participating securities was $222.5 million and $13.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Basic and diluted net loss available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders were $3.53 per share for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $0.28 per share for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The tables below summarize our revenues, property and construction expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2009 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2010 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2009 or were substantially completed for the 12 months prior to January 1, 2009. Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service. All other properties are placed in service as they reach the earlier of a) stabilized occupancy (generally defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisition or development completion. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2008 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2010. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2008. (Re)Developments and land are land parcels and developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2009 or b) stabilized prior

to January 1, 2009. Other revenues are derived from the operations of our maintenance company, fees earned from our Joint Ventures and other miscellaneous revenues. Construction revenues and expenses represent revenues earned and expenses incurred in connection with the taxable REIT subsidiaries acting as development manager to construct industrial properties and also include revenues and expenses related to the development and sale of properties built for third parties. Other expenses are derived from the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous regional expenses.

Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the future acquisition and sale of properties. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the occupancy rates of our same store properties were 83.1% and 83.5%, respectively.

Revenues from same store properties decreased $6.6 million due primarily to a decrease in rental rates and a decrease in occupancy. Revenues from acquired properties increased $1.1 million due to the three industrial properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2008 totaling approximately 0.5 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from sold properties decreased $8.6 million due to the 28 industrial properties and one leased land parcel sold subsequent to December 31, 2008 totaling approximately 3.0 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from (re)developments and land increased $4.8 million primarily due to an increase in occupancy. Other revenues decreased $8.8 million due primarily to a decrease in fees earned from our Joint Ventures. Construction revenues decreased $54.1 million primarily due to the substantial completion during 2010 and 2009 of certain development projects for which we were acting in the capacity of development manager.

Property expenses include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other property related expenses. Property expenses from same store properties decreased $2.2 million due primarily to a decrease in bad debt expense. Property expenses from acquired properties increased $0.2 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2008. Property expenses from sold properties decreased $2.2 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2008. Property expenses from (re)developments and land remained relatively unchanged. The $1.5 million decrease in other expense is primarily attributable to a decrease in compensation. Construction expenses decreased $52.2 million primarily due to the substantial completion during 2010 and 2009 of certain development projects for which we were acting in the capacity of development manager.

General and administrative expense decreased $11.2 million, or 29.7%, due primarily to a decrease in compensation resulting from the reduction in employee headcount occurring in 2009 and 2010, a decrease in rent expense resulting from office closings in 2009 and 2010 and a decrease in legal and professional services, partially offset by an increase in lawsuit settlements.

We committed to a plan to reduce organizational and overhead costs in October 2008 and have subsequently modified that plan with the goal of further reducing these costs. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized $1.9 million in restructuring charges to provide for employee severance and benefits ($0.5 million), costs associated with the termination of certain office leases ($0.7 million) and other costs ($0.7 million) associated with implementing our restructuring plan. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded as restructuring costs a pre-tax charge of $7.8 million to provide for employee severance and benefits ($5.2 million), costs associated with the termination of certain office leases ($1.9 million) and other costs ($0.7 million) associated with implementing the restructuring plan.

On October 22, 2010, we amended our Old Credit Facility. In conjunction with the amendment, management identified a pool of real estate assets (the “Non-Strategic Assets”) that it intends to sell. At December 31, 2010, all of the Non-Strategic Assets, which consisted of 193 industrial properties comprising approximately 16.1 million square feet of GLA and land parcels comprising approximately 695 acres, were classified as held for sale (except one industrial property comprising 0.3 million square feet of GLA). An impairment charge of $185.4 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2010 related to certain of the Non-Strategic Assets due to a reassessment of the hold period. The impairment charge was necessary in order to adjust the carrying value of the assets to fair market value less costs to sell. At December 31, 2011, there are 87 industrial properties comprising approximately 6.5 million square feet of GLA that no longer qualify to be classified as held for sale and as such, any impairment charge or reversal recorded during 2011 and 2010 is reflected in continuing operations. Additionally, any impairment charge or reversal related to a land parcel, whether held for sale or held for use, is reflected in continuing operations. The impairment charge of $112.9 million included in

continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 is primarily comprised of $104.6 million relating to certain industrial properties and land parcels that no longer qualify for held for sale classification and $8.3 million relating to sold land parcels.

As a result of adverse conditions in the credit and real estate markets, we recorded an impairment charge of $6.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 related to one property in the Inland Empire market ($1.3 million of this impairment charge is included in discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 because one building of the two-building property was sold during the year ended December 31, 2011).

Depreciation and other amortization for same store properties decreased $10.2 million due primarily to accelerated depreciation and amortization taken during the year ended December 31, 2009 attributable to the cessation of depreciation and amortization of the Non-Strategic Assets that qualified for held for sale classification during the fourth quarter of 2010 as well as to certain tenants who terminated their leases early. Depreciation and other amortization from acquired properties increased $0.6 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2008. Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased $4.1 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2008. Depreciation and other amortization for (re)developments and land and other increased $0.7 million due primarily to an increase in the substantial completion of developments. Corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment decreased $0.2 million primarily due to accelerated depreciation on furniture, fixtures and equipment taken in 2009 related to the termination of certain office leases.

Interest income increased $1.3 million, or 41.5%, due primarily to an increase in the weighted average mortgage loans receivable balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.

Interest expense, inclusive of $0.3 million and $0.7 million of interest expense included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, decreased $9.3 million, or 8.0%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2010 ($1,867.8 million), as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 ($2,050.5 million), offset by an increase in the weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2010 (5.68%), as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 (5.64%) and by a decrease in capitalized interest for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to a decrease in development activities.

Amortization of deferred financing costs increased $0.4 million, or 14.6%, due primarily to an increase in costs related to the amendment of our Old Credit Facility in October 2010 and the origination of mortgage financings during 2010 and 2009, partially offset by expensing of capitalized loan fees as a result of the repurchase and retirement of certain of our senior unsecured notes. The net unamortized deferred financing fees related to the prior line of credit are amortized over the remaining amortization period, except for $0.2 million of unamortized deferred financing costs that were expensed as a result of the decrease in the capacity of the Old Credit Facility, which is included in (Loss) Gain From Retirement of Debt for the year ended December 31, 2010.

We recorded $1.1 million in mark to market loss, inclusive of $0.5 million in swap payments, related to the Series F Agreement which is included in Mark-to-Market (Loss) Gain on Interest Rate Protection Agreements for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $2.7 million in mark to market gain, inclusive of $0.5 million of swap payments, for the year ended December 31, 2009. Additionally included in Mark-to-Market Gain on Interest Rate Protection Agreements for the year ended December 31, 2009 is $1.0 million related to two forward starting swaps. In January 2008, we entered into two forward starting swaps each with a notional value of $59.8 million, which fixed the interest rate on forecasted debt offerings. We designated both swaps as cash flow hedges. The rates on the forecasted debt issuances underlying the swaps locked on March 20, 2009 (the “Forward Starting Agreement 1”) and on April 6, 2009 (the “Forward Starting Agreement 2”), and as such, the swaps ceased to qualify for hedge accounting. The change in value of Forward Starting Agreement 1 and Forward Starting Agreement 2 from the respective day the interest rate on the underlying debt locked until settlement was $1.0 million and is included in Mark-to-Market (Loss) Gain on Interest Rate Protection Agreements for the year ended December 31, 2009.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized a net loss from retirement of debt of $4.3 million due primarily to the redemption of our 2011 Notes. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we recognized a $34.6 million gain from retirement of debt due to the partial repurchase of certain series of our senior unsecured notes.

Foreign currency exchange loss of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 relates to our wind-down of our operations in Europe.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, Equity in Income of Joint Ventures was $0.7 million, as compared to Equity in Loss of Joint Ventures of $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The variance of $7.2 million is due primarily to impairment losses of $5.6 million we recorded during the year ended December 31, 2009 related to the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program as a result of adverse conditions in the credit and real estate markets and also due to the gain on sale of our 15% interest in the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program which occurred during the year ended December 31, 2010, partially offset by a decrease in our pro rata share of gain on sale of real estate and earn outs on property sales from the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture and a decrease in our pro rata share of income from the 2005 Core Joint Venture during the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.

The Gain on Sale of Joint Venture Interests of $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 relates to the sale of our 10% equity interests in each of the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, the 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 2007 Canada Joint Venture to our joint venture partner on August 5, 2010. Additionally, the gain includes approximately $2.7 million of proceeds related to the separate sales of three industrial properties by the Joint Ventures during August and October 2010 for which, in accordance with the sale agreement, we were entitled to a final distribution.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded an income tax provision of $3.3 million, as compared to an income tax benefit of $23.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The variance of $26.5 million is due primarily to a loss carryback generated from the tax liquidation of one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase in state taxes related to an unfavorable court decision on business loss carryforwards in the State of Michigan for the year ended December 31, 2010 and gain on sale of joint venture interests in 2010.

Loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 reflects the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate relating to 13 industrial properties and one land parcel that generated ground rental revenue that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2010, the results of operations of 36 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2011 and the results of operations of 46 industrial properties that were identified as held for sale at December 31, 2011. The impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $81.6 million relates to an impairment charge related to certain Non-Strategic assets that were either sold during the year or classified as held for sale at December 31, 2011.

Income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 reflects the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate relating to 15 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2009, the results of operations of 13 industrial properties and one land parcel that generated ground rental revenue that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2010, the results of operations of 36 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2011 and the results of operations of the 46 industrial properties identified as held for sale at December 31, 2011. The impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $1.3 million relates to an impairment charge recorded related to one sold property in the Inland Empire market. The impairment charge was a result of adverse conditions in the credit and real estate markets.

The $0.9 million and $0.4 million gain on sale of real estate for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, resulted from the sale of several land parcels that do not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2011 our cash and cash equivalents was approximately $10.2 million. We also had $300.5 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility, subject to certain restrictions.

We have considered our short-term (through December 31, 2012) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. Our 2012 Notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $61.8 million, are due on April 15, 2012. We expect to satisfy the payment obligations on the 2012 Notes with borrowings on our Unsecured Credit Facility. With the exception of the 2012 Notes, we believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements and the minimum distributions required to maintain our REIT qualification under the Code. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating and investing activities, including the disposition of select assets.

Table of Contents

We expect to meet long-term (after December 31, 2012) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, developments, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements through the disposition of select assets, long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity securities, subject to market conditions.

We also have financed the development or acquisition of additional properties through borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility and may finance the development or acquisition of additional properties through such borrowings, to the extent capacity is available, in the future. At December 31, 2011, borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.385%. As of February 28, 2012, we had approximately $262.4 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility, subject to certain restrictions. Our Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Our access to borrowings may be limited if we fail to meet any of these covenants. We believe that we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of December 31, 2011, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants in 2012.

Our senior unsecured notes have been assigned credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings of BB-/Ba3/BB, respectively. In the event of a downgrade, we believe we would continue to have access to sufficient capital; however, our cost of borrowing would increase and our ability to access certain financial markets may be limited.

Net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $87.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 was comprised primarily of the non-cash adjustments of approximately $111.7 million, operating distributions received in excess of equity in income of joint ventures of $0.1 million and a decrease in restricted cash of approximately $0.1 million, offset by net loss of approximately $9.2 million, payments of discounts associated with senior unsecured notes of $5.3 million, prepayment premiums associated with the retirement of debt of approximately $1.3 million and net change in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $8.6 million. The adjustments for the non-cash items of approximately $111.7 million are primarily comprised of depreciation and amortization of approximately $136.3 million, the provision for bad debt of approximately $1.1 million, the loss from retirement of debt of approximately $5.5 million and the mark to market loss related to the Series F Agreement of approximately $1.7 million, offset by the reversal of impairment of real estate of $2.7 million, the gain on sale of real estate of approximately $21.8 million, the gain on the change in control of interests in connection with the redemption of the 85% equity interest in one property from the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture of approximately $0.7 million and the effect of the straight-lining of rental income of approximately $7.7 million.

Net cash used in investing activities of approximately $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 was comprised primarily of the acquisition of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture development of real estate, capital expenditures related to the improvement of existing real estate and payments related to leasing activities, offset by the net proceeds from the sale of real estate and the repayments on our mortgage loan receivables.

We invested approximately $0.2 million in, and received total distributions of approximately $1.7 million, from our Joint Ventures. As of December 31, 2011, our Joint Ventures owned seven industrial properties comprising approximately 3.4 million square feet of GLA.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we sold 36 industrial properties comprising approximately 2.9 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. Proceeds from the sales of the 36 industrial properties and one land parcel, net of closing costs, were approximately $76.0 million. We are in various stages of discussions with third parties for the sale of additional properties and plan to continue to selectively market other properties

for sale throughout 2012. We expect to use at least a portion of sale proceeds to pay down additional debt. If we are unable to sell properties on an advantageous basis, this may impair our liquidity and our ability to meet our financial covenants.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.7 million square feet of GLA in connection with the redemption of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. The acquisition was funded with a cash payment of $5.3 million and the assumption of a mortgage loan in the amount of $24.4 million.

Net cash used in financing activities of approximately $99.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 was comprised primarily of repayments on our senior unsecured notes and mortgage loans payable, payments of debt and equity issuance costs, net repayments on our Unsecured Credit Facility, preferred stock dividends, the repurchase and retirement of restricted stock and payments on the interest rate swap agreement offset by the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock and proceeds from the new mortgage financings.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we received proceeds from the origination of $255.9 million in mortgage loans. The mortgage loans bear interest at a fixed rate between 4.45% and 4.85% and mature between June 2018 and October 2021. We may engage various lenders, from time to time, regarding the origination of additional mortgage financings and the terms and conditions thereof. To the extent additional mortgage financing is originated, we expect to use proceeds received to pay down our other debt and/or make select property acquisitions. No assurances can be made that additional mortgage financing will be obtained.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we redeemed or repurchased $241.7 million of our unsecured notes at an aggregate purchase price of $239.6 million. We may from time to time repay additional amounts of our outstanding debt. Any repayments would depend upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors we consider important. Future repayments may materially impact our liquidity, taxable income and results of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we issued 17,415,856 shares of the Company’s common stock under the ATM and underwritten public offerings, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $202.8 million. We may access the equity markets again, subject to contractual restrictions and market conditions. To the extent additional equity offerings occur, we expect to use at least a portion of the proceeds received to reduce our indebtedness or make property acquisitions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Letters of credit are issued in most cases as pledges to governmental entities for development purposes. At December 31, 2011, we have $0.8 million in outstanding letters of credit. Additionally, we have $6.0 million in performance bonds outstanding at December 31, 2011. The letters of credit and performance bonds are not reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K, other than those disclosed on the Contractual Obligations and Commitments table above, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity and capital resources.

Environmental

We paid approximately $1.1 million and $0.6 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to environmental expenditures. We estimate 2012 expenditures of approximately $1.2 million. We estimate that the aggregate expenditures which need to be expended in 2012 and beyond with regard to currently identified environmental issues will not exceed approximately $2.6 million.

Inflation

For the last several years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company because of the relatively low inflation rates in our markets of operation. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, many of the outstanding leases expire within six years which may enable us to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rentals if rents of existing leases are below the then-existing market rate.

Market Risk

The following discussion about our risk-management activities includes “forward-looking statements” that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Our business subjects us to market risk from interest rates, and to a much lesser extent, foreign currency fluctuations.

Interest Rate Risk

This analysis presents the hypothetical gain or loss in earnings, cash flows or fair value of the financial instruments and derivative instruments which are held by us at December 31, 2011 that are sensitive to changes in the interest rates. While this analysis may have some use as a benchmark, it should not be viewed as a forecast.

In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and legal risk and are not represented in the following analysis.

At December 31, 2011, approximately $1,330.5 million (approximately 89.9% of total debt at December 31, 2011) of our debt was fixed rate debt and approximately $149.0 million (approximately 10.1% of total debt at December 31, 2011) was variable rate debt. Currently, we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the base interest rate used to calculate the all-in interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would affect our future earnings and cash flows. The interest rate risk and changes in fair market value of fixed rate debt generally do not have a significant impact on us until we are required to refinance such debt. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the maturity dates of our various fixed rate debt.

Table of Contents

Based upon the amount of variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2011, a 10% increase or decrease in the interest rate on our variable rate debt would decrease or increase, respectively, future net income and cash flows by approximately $0.4 million per year. The foregoing calculation assumes an instantaneous increase or decrease in the rates applicable to the amount of borrowings outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Facility at December 31, 2011. Changes in LIBOR could result in a greater than 10% increase in such rates. In addition, the calculation does not account for our option to elect the lower of two different interest rates under our borrowings or other possible actions, such as prepayment, that we might take in response to any rate increase. A 10% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of the fixed rate debt at December 31, 2011 by approximately $36.7 million to $1,337.3 million. A 10% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of the fixed rate debt at December 31, 2011 by approximately $38.9 million to $1,412.9 million.

The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to manage risks of increases in interest rates with respect to the effect these fluctuations would have on our earnings and cash flows. As of December 31, 2011, we had one outstanding derivative with a notional amount of $50.0 million which mitigates our exposure to floating interest rates related to the reset rate of our Series F Preferred Stock.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Owning, operating and developing industrial property outside of the United States exposes us to the possibility of volatile movements in foreign exchange rates. Changes in foreign currencies can affect the operating results of international operations reported in U.S. dollars and the value of the foreign assets reported in U.S. dollars. The economic impact of foreign exchange rate movements is complex because such changes are often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. At December 31, 2011, we owned one land parcel for which the U.S. dollar was not the functional currency. The land parcel is located in Ontario, Canada and uses the Canadian dollar as its functional currency.

Supplemental Earnings Measure

Investors in and industry analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations (“FFO”) as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time through depreciation. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors prefer to supplement operating results that use historical cost accounting. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities should not be considered as a substitute for its most comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss) available to common stockholders and participating securities, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. FFO is calculated by us in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT and therefore may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Management believes that the use of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities, combined with net income (which remains the primary measure of performance), improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management believes that, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, real estate asset depreciation and amortization and impairment write-downs taken on previously depreciated real estate, investors and analysts are able to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT’s activity and assist in comparing these operating results between periods or to those of different companies.

Subsequent Events

From January 1, 2012 to February 28, 2012, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA in connection with the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. The acquisition was funded through the assumption of a mortgage loan in the amount of $12.0 million, which was subsequently paid off at closing and a cash payment of $8.3 million. We will account for this transaction as a step acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting. There were no industrial properties sold during this time.

From January 1, 2012 to February 28, 2012, we repurchased and retired $0.4 million of our senior unsecured notes maturing in 2028 for a payment of $0.4 million.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria described in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein within Item 15. See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a) (1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands except share and per share data)

1. Organization and Formation of Company

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on August 10, 1993. The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., First Industrial, L.P. and their other controlled subsidiaries. We refer to our operating partnership, First Industrial, L.P., as the “Operating Partnership.”

We began operations on July 1, 1994. Our operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner, and through our taxable REIT subsidiaries. We also conduct operations through other partnerships and limited liability companies, the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership and the taxable REIT subsidiaries, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein.

We also own noncontrolling equity interests in, and provide various services to, two joint ventures (the “2003 Net Lease Joint Venture” and the “2007 Europe Joint Venture”). During 2010, we provided various services to, and ultimately disposed of our equity interests in, five joint ventures (the “2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture,” the “2005 Core Joint Venture,” the “2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program,” the “2006 Land/Development Joint Venture,” and the “2007 Canada Joint Venture;” together with the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture, the “Joint Ventures”). The Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the operating data of our Joint Ventures is not consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The 2007 Europe Joint Venture does not own any properties. See Note 5 for more information on the Joint Ventures.

As of December 31, 2011, we owned 740 industrial properties located in 26 states in the United States and one province in Canada, containing an aggregate of approximately 66.3 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”).

Any references to the number of buildings and square footage in the financial statement footnotes are unaudited.

2. Basis of Presentation

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, with an approximate 94.3% and 92.8% common ownership interest at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Noncontrolling interest at December 31, 2011 and 2010 of 5.7% and 7.2%, respectively, represents the aggregate partnership interest in the Operating Partnership held by the limited partners thereof.

Our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2011 and 2010 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 include the accounts and operating results of the Company and our subsidiaries. Such financial statements present our noncontrolling equity interests in our Joint Ventures under the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required in preparation of our financial statements to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the reported amounts of

 

64


Table of Contents

revenues and expenses for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications within the footnotes have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these investments.

Restricted Cash

At December 31, 2010, restricted cash primarily includes cash held in escrow in connection with mortgage debt requirements. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these investments.

Investment in Real Estate and Depreciation

Investment in Real Estate is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We review our properties on a continuous basis for impairment and provide a provision if impairments exist. To determine if an impairment may exist, we review our properties and identify those that have had either an event of change or event of circumstances warranting further assessment of recoverability (such as a decrease in occupancy or decline in general market conditions). If further assessment of recoverability is needed, we estimate the future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the property and its eventual disposition on an individual property basis. If the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property on an individual property basis, we will recognize an impairment loss based upon the estimated fair value of such property. For properties we consider held for sale, we cease depreciating the properties and value the properties at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and, as a result, we decide not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, we will reclassify such property as held and used. Such property is measured at the lower of its carrying amount (adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. To calculate the fair value of properties held for sale, we deduct from the estimated sales price of the property the estimated costs to close the sale. We classify properties as held for sale when all criteria within the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) guidance on the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets are met.

Interest costs, real estate taxes, compensation costs of development personnel and other directly related costs incurred during construction periods are capitalized and depreciated commencing with the date the property is substantially completed. Upon substantial completion, we reclassify construction in progress to building, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. Such costs begin to be capitalized to the development projects from the point we are undergoing necessary activities to get the development ready for its intended use and ceases when the development projects are substantially completed and held available for occupancy. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives:

 

     Years  

Buildings and Improvements

     8 to 50   

Land Improvements

     3 to 20   

Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

     5 to 10   

Construction expenditures for tenant improvements, leasehold improvements and leasing commissions (inclusive of compensation costs of personnel attributable to leasing) are capitalized and amortized over the terms of each specific lease. Capitalized compensation costs of personnel attributable to leasing relate to time directly attributable to originating leases with independent third parties that result directly from and are essential to originating those leases and would not have been incurred had these leasing transactions not occurred. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized.

Table of Contents

Upon acquisition of a property, we allocate the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally consists of land, buildings, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and intangible assets including in-place leases, above market and below market leases and tenant relationships. We allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. Acquired above and below market leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below market fixed rate renewal options for below market leases. The above market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the below market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the respective tenant. The value of in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships, which are included as components of Deferred Leasing Intangibles, Net are amortized over the remaining lease term (and expected renewal periods of the respective lease for tenant relationships) as adjustments to depreciation and other amortization expense. If a tenant terminates its lease early, the unamortized portion of the tenant improvements, leasing commissions, above and below market leases, the in-place lease value and tenant relationships is immediately written off.

Deferred Leasing Intangibles, net of accumulated amortization (exclusive of Deferred Leasing Intangibles held for sale) included in our total assets and total liabilities consist of the following:

Construction Revenues and Expenses

Construction revenues and expenses represent revenues earned and expenses incurred in connection with a taxable REIT subsidiary acting as a general contractor or development manager to construct industrial properties and also include revenues and expenses related to the development of properties for third parties. We use the percentage-of-completion contract method to recognize revenue. Using this method, revenues are recorded based on estimates of the percentage of completion of individual contracts. The percentage of completion estimates are based on a comparison of the contract expenditures incurred to the estimated final costs. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

At December 31, 2011, we owned a land parcel located in Toronto, Canada for which the functional currency was determined to be the Canadian dollar. The assets and liabilities related to this land parcel are translated to U.S. dollars from the Canadian dollar based on the current exchange rate prevailing at each balance sheet date. The income statement accounts related to this land parcel are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing. These fees and costs are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $13,086 and $16,565 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Unamortized deferred financing costs are written-off when debt is retired before the maturity date.

Investments in Joint Ventures

Investments in Joint Ventures represent our noncontrolling equity interests in our Joint Ventures. We account for our Investments in Joint Ventures under the equity method of accounting, as we do not have a majority voting interest, operational control or financial control. Control is determined using accounting standards related to the consolidation of joint ventures and variable interest entities. In order to assess whether consolidation of a variable-interest entity is required, an enterprise is required to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE, and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Additionally, they require an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary and provide a framework for the events that trigger a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE.

Under the equity method of accounting, our share of earnings or losses of our Joint Ventures is reflected in income as earned and contributions or distributions increase or decrease our Investments in Joint Ventures as paid or received, respectively. Differences between our carrying value of our Investments in Joint Ventures and our underlying equity of such Joint Ventures are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets.

On a continuous basis, we assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our Investments in Joint Ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired if our estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. Our estimates of fair value for each investment are based on a number of subjective assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, market rental rates and operating costs, the discount rate used to value the cash flows of the

Table of Contents

properties, the cap rate used to estimate the terminal value of the underlying properties and the discount rate used to value the Joint Ventures’ debt. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, our fair values estimated in the impairment analyses may not be realized.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for stock based compensation using the modified prospective application method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest.

Net income, net of preferred dividends, is allocated to common stockholders and participating securities based upon their proportionate share of weighted average shares plus weighted average participating securities. Participating securities are unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. Certain restricted stock awards and restricted unit awards granted to employees and directors are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable dividend or dividend equivalents at the same rate as common stock. See Note 9 for further disclosure about participating securities.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income is recognized on a straight-line method under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term. Tenant recovery income includes payments from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses and is recognized as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred by us.

Revenue is generally recognized on payments received from tenants for early lease terminations upon the effective termination of a tenant’s lease and when we have no further obligations under the lease.

Interest income on mortgage loans receivable is recognized based on the accrual method unless a significant uncertainty of collection exists. If a significant uncertainty exists, interest income is recognized as collected.

We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant accounts receivable including deferred rent receivable, which is estimated to be uncollectible. Accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,675 and $3,001 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Deferred rent receivable in the consolidated balance sheets are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,302 and $1,855 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For accounts receivable we deem uncollectible, we use the direct write-off method.

Gain on Sale of Real Estate

Gain on sale of real estate is recognized using the full accrual method, when appropriate. Gains relating to transactions which do not meet the full accrual method of accounting are deferred and recognized when the full accrual method of accounting criteria are met or by using the installment or deposit methods of profit recognition, as appropriate in the circumstances. As the assets are sold, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are written off with resulting gains or losses reflected in net income or loss. Estimated future costs to be incurred by us after completion of each sale are included in the determination of the gain on sales.

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable are primarily comprised of mortgage note receivables that we have made in connection with sales of real estate assets. The note receivables are recorded at fair value at the time of issuance. Interest income is accrued as earned. Notes receivable are considered past due based on the contractual terms of the note agreement. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the collectability of each mortgage note receivable based on various factors which may include payment history, expected fair value of the collateral securing the loan, internal and

 

68


Table of Contents

external credit information and/or economic trends. A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due under the existing contractual terms. When a loan is considered impaired, the amount of the loss accrual is calculated by comparing the carrying amount of the note receivable to the present value of expected future cash flows. Since the majority of our notes receivable are collateralized by a first mortgage, the loans have risk characteristics similar to the risks in owning commercial real estate.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our adjusted taxable income to our stockholders. Management intends to continue to adhere to these requirements and to maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we are entitled to a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends we pay to shareholders. Accordingly, we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes as long as we currently distribute to shareholders an amount equal to or in excess of our taxable income. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years.

REIT qualification reduces, but does not eliminate, the amount of state and local taxes we pay. In addition, our financial statements include the operations of taxable corporate subsidiaries that are not entitled to a dividends paid deduction and are subject to corporate federal, state and local income taxes. As a REIT, we may also be subject to certain federal excise and franchise taxes if we engage in certain types of transactions. A benefit/provision has been made for federal, state and local income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In accordance with FASB’s guidance, the total benefit/provision has been separately allocated to income (loss) from continuing operations, income (loss) from discontinued operations and gain (loss) on sale of real estate. The provision for excise and franchise taxes has been reflected in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and has not been separately stated due to its insignificance.

We evaluate tax positions taken in the financial statements on a quarterly basis under the interpretation for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As a result of this evaluation, we may recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2011, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

We file income tax returns in the U.S., and various states and foreign jurisdictions. In general, the statutes of limitations for income tax returns remain open for the years 2008 through 2011. One of our taxable REIT subsidiaries which liquidated in September 2009 is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for 2008 and for the tax year ended September 1, 2009 during which we received refunds from the IRS of $3,767 and $40,418, respectively.

During 2005, we recorded a $745 franchise tax reserve related to a potential state franchise tax assessment for the 1996-2001 tax years. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we received a refund from the state, representing amounts paid during 2006 related to the 1996-2001 tax years. Based on the refund received and discussions with the taxing authorities, as of December 31, 2011, management believes that it is unlikely that any franchise tax amounts will be assessed by the state for such tax years. As such, during the year ended December 31, 2011, we have reversed $745 of franchise taxes. Franchise taxes are recorded within general and administrative expense.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any dilutive non-participating securities for the period. See Note 9 for further disclosure about EPS.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Historically, we have used interest rate protection agreements (“Agreements”) to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of senior unsecured notes or convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. Receipts or payments that result from the settlement of Agreements used to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of senior unsecured notes are amortized over the life of the derivative or the life of the debt and included in interest expense. Receipts or payments resulting from Agreements used to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt are recognized as a component of interest expense. Agreements which qualify for hedge accounting are marked-to-market and any gain or loss that is effective is recognized in other comprehensive income (shareholders’ equity). Agreements which do not qualify for hedge accounting are marked-to-market and any gain or loss is recognized in net income (loss) immediately. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income during the hedge period are reclassified to earnings in the same period during which the forecasted transaction or hedged item affects net income (loss). The credit risks associated with Agreements are controlled through the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of the counterparty. In the event that the counterparty fails to meet the terms of Agreements, our exposure is limited to the current value of the interest rate differential, not the notional amount, and our carrying value of Agreements on the balance sheet. See Note 14 for more information on Agreements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments other than our derivatives include tenant accounts receivable, net, notes receivable, accounts payable, other accrued expenses, mortgage and other loans payable, unsecured credit facility and senior unsecured notes. The fair values of tenant accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and other accrued expenses approximate their carrying or contract values. See Note 6 for the fair values of the mortgage and other loans payable, unsecured credit facility and senior unsecured notes and see Note 4 for the fair value of our notes receivable.

Discontinued Operations

The FASB’s guidance on financial reporting for the disposal of long lived assets requires that the results of operations and gains or losses on the sale of property or property held for sale be presented in discontinued operations if both of the following criteria are met: (a) the operations and cash flows of the property have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as a result of the disposal transaction and (b) we will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property after the disposal transaction. The guidance also requires prior period results of operations for these properties to be reclassified and presented in discontinued operations in prior consolidated statements of operations.

Segment Reporting

Management views the Company as a single segment based on its method of internal reporting.

4. Investment in Real Estate

Acquisitions

In 2009, we acquired one land parcel. The purchase price of the land parcel was approximately $208, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the land parcel. We also substantially completed the development of two industrial properties comprising approximately 1.1 million square feet of GLA at a cost of approximately $41,258. We reclassed the costs of the substantially completed developments from construction in progress to building, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

In 2010, we acquired three industrial properties comprising, in the aggregate, approximately 0.5 million square feet of GLA, including one industrial property purchased from the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture (see Note 5). The purchase price of these acquisitions totaled approximately $22,408 excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial properties.

Table of Contents

In 2011, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.7 million square feet of GLA in connection with the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture (see Note 5). The gross agreed-upon fair value for the real estate was $30,625, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial property. The acquisition was funded through the assumption of a mortgage loan, whose carrying value approximated fair market value, in the amount of $24,417 and a cash payment of $5,277 (85% of the net fair value of the acquisition). We accounted for this transaction as a step acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting. Due to the change in control that occurred, we recorded a gain of approximately $689 related to the difference between our carrying value and fair value of our equity interest on the acquisition date.

Intangible Assets Subject To Amortization in the Period of Acquisition

The fair value at the date of acquisition of in-place leases, above market leases and tenant relationships recorded due to real estate properties acquired for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, which is recorded as deferred leasing intangibles, is as follows:

Sales and Discontinued Operations

In 2009, we sold 15 industrial properties comprising approximately 1.9 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from the sales of the 15 industrial properties and several land parcels were approximately $100,194. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $24,580, of which $24,206 is shown in discontinued operations. The 15 sold industrial properties meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 15 sold industrial properties are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the several land parcels that do not meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations are included in continuing operations.

In 2010, we sold 13 industrial properties comprising approximately 1.1 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from the sales of the 13 industrial properties and several land parcels were approximately $71,019. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $11,951, of which $11,092 is shown in discontinued operations. The 13 sold industrial properties and one land parcel that received ground rental revenues meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 13 sold industrial properties and one land parcel that received ground rental revenues are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the several land parcels that do not meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations are included in continuing operations.

Table of Contents

In 2011, we sold 36 industrial properties comprising approximately 2.9 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. Gross proceeds from the sales of the 36 industrial properties and one land parcel were approximately $86,643. Included in the 36 industrial properties sold is one industrial property totaling approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA that we transferred title to a lender in satisfaction of a non-recourse mortgage loan (See Note 6). The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $21,789, of which $20,419 is shown in discontinued operations. The 36 sold industrial properties meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 36 sold industrial properties are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the one land parcel that does not meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations are included in continuing operations.

At December 31, 2011, we had 46 industrial properties comprising approximately 4.8 million square feet of GLA held for sale. The results of operations of the 46 industrial properties held for sale at December 31, 2011 are included in discontinued operations. There can be no assurance that such industrial properties held for sale will be sold.

The following table discloses certain information for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 regarding the industrial properties included in our discontinued operations.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had notes receivable outstanding of approximately $55,502 and $58,803, net of a discount of $319 and $383, respectively, which are included as a component of Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of the notes receivable was $58,734 and $60,944, respectively. The fair value of our notes receivable was determined by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans with similar remaining maturities would be made to other borrowers. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated; therefore, we have concluded that our determination of fair value of our notes receivable was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs, as defined below.

Impairment Charges

On October 22, 2010, we amended our existing revolving credit facility (See Note 6). In conjunction with the amendment, management identified a pool of real estate assets (the “Non-Strategic Assets”) that it intended to sell. The Non-Strategic Assets originally consisted of 195 industrial properties comprising approximately 16.4 million square feet of GLA and land parcels comprising approximately 724 gross acres. At the time of the amendment, management reassessed the holding period for the Non-Strategic Assets and determined that certain of the industrial properties were impaired, and as such, the Company recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $185,397 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2011, the Non-Strategic Assets consisted of 133 industrial properties comprising approximately 11.3 million square feet of GLA and land parcels comprising approximately 359 gross acres. Forty-six industrial properties comprising approximately 4.8 million square feet of GLA and land parcels comprising approximately 61 acres of the Non-Strategic Assets were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2011. The net impairment charges for assets that qualify to be classified as held for sale at

 

72


Table of Contents

December 31, 2011 were calculated as the difference of the carrying value of the properties and land parcels over the fair value less costs to sell. The net impairment charges recorded during year ended December 31, 2011 are due to updated fair market values for certain of the Non-Strategic Assets whose estimated fair market values have changed since December 31, 2010. On the date an asset no longer qualifies to be classified as held for sale, the carrying value must be reestablished at the lower of the estimated fair market value of the asset or the carrying value of the asset prior to held for sale classification, adjusted for any depreciation and amortization that would have been recorded if the asset had not been classified as held for sale. Impairment has been reversed and/or catch-up depreciation and amortization has been recorded during year ended December 31, 2011, if applicable, for these assets that are no longer classified as held for sale.

In addition to the impairment recorded related to the Non-Strategic Assets, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $9,155 related to a property comprised of 0.3 million square feet of GLA located in Grand Rapids, Michigan (“Grand Rapids Property”) in connection with the negotiation of a new lease. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded an impairment charge of $6,934 related to a property comprised of 0.2 million square feet of GLA located in the Inland Empire (“Inland Empire Property”) due to adverse conditions in the credit and real estate markets. The non-cash impairment charges related to the Grand Rapids Property and the Inland Empire Property were based upon the difference between the fair value of the properties and their carrying value.

During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we recorded the following net non-cash impairment charges:

The guidance for the fair value measurement provisions for the impairment of long lived assets recorded at fair value establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair market values were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analyses on expected cash flows, internal valuations of real estate and third party offers.

For operational real estate assets, the most significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analyses included the discount rate, projected occupancy levels, rental rates and capital expenditures, and the future exit capitalization rate. For the valuation of land parcels, we reviewed recent comparable sales transactions, to the extent available, or if not available, we considered older comparable transactions, adjusted upward or downward to reflect management’s assumptions about current market conditions. In all cases, members of our management team that were responsible for the individual markets where the land parcels were located determined the internal valuations. Valuations based on third party offers include bona fide contract prices and letter of intent amounts, that we believe are indicative of fair value.

5. Investments in Joint Ventures

On May 16, 2003, we entered into the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture with an institutional investor to invest in industrial properties. We own a 15% equity interest in and provide property management services to the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. As of December 31, 2011, the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture owned seven industrial properties comprising approximately 3.4 million square feet of GLA (see Note 16 for subsequent events). The 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture is considered a variable interest entity, however, we continue to conclude that we are not the primary beneficiary of this venture. As of December 31, 2011, our investment in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture is $1,674. Our maximum exposure to loss is currently equal to our investment balance. On May 26, 2011, we acquired the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture (see Note 4).

During December 2007, we entered into the 2007 Europe Joint Venture with an institutional investor to invest in, own, develop, redevelop and operate industrial properties. We continue to hold our 10% equity interest in the 2007 Europe Joint Venture. As of December 31, 2011, the 2007 Europe Joint Venture did not own any properties.

On August 5, 2010, we sold our interests in the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, the 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 2007 Canada Joint Venture to our joint venture partner generating sale proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. In connection with the sale, we wrote off our carrying value for the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, the 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 2007 Canada Joint Venture as well as $1,625 of unrealized loss recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (see Note 14). We recorded an $11,226 gain related to the sale, which is included in Gain on Sale of Joint Venture Interests for the year ended December 31, 2010. As a result of this sale, we no longer serve as asset manager for these ventures. Pursuant to the sale agreement, we were entitled to proceeds related to sales of certain assets (the “Sale Assets”), if the sale of such assets was consummated by a

stated timeframe. Three of the Sale Assets closed between August 6, 2010 and December 31, 2010 and we earned approximately $2,700, which is included in the Gain on Sale of Joint Venture Interests for the year ended December 31, 2010. Additionally, we were entitled to earn leasing, development and disposition fees related to certain assets identified at the time of sale within the sale agreement. On June 11, 2010, we purchased an industrial property from the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture for a purchase price of $14,627.

On March 21, 2006, we entered into the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program with an institutional investor to invest in industrial properties. We owned a 15% equity interest in and provided property management, asset management and leasing management services to the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program. Pursuant to the buy/sell provision in the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program’s governing agreement that our counterparty exercised on May 25, 2010, we sold our interest in the real estate property assets in the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program to our counterparty and received $4,541 in net proceeds. In connection with the sale, we wrote off our carrying value for the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program and recorded a $852 gain, which is included in Equity in Income (Loss) of Joint Ventures.

During July 2007, we entered into a management arrangement with an institutional investor to provide property management, leasing, acquisition, disposition and portfolio management services for three industrial properties (the “July 2007 Fund”). We do not own an equity interest in the July 2007 Fund, however we are entitled to incentive payments if certain economic thresholds related to the industrial properties are achieved. Effective September 2, 2009, we ceased to provide any services for two of the industrial properties in the July 2007 Fund. We received a one-time fee of approximately $866 in 2009 from the termination of the management agreement. Effective May 24, 2010, we ceased to provide any services to the remaining industrial property in the July 2007 Fund.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, we have receivables from the Joint Ventures (and/or our former Joint Venture partners) in the aggregate amount of $137 and $2,857, respectively. These receivable amounts are included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we recognized fees of $970, $4,952 and $11,174, respectively, from our Joint Ventures.

On September 20, 2011, we transferred title to a property totaling approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA and an escrow balance in the amount of $1,845 to a lender in satisfaction of a $5,040 non-recourse mortgage loan. We recognized a $147 loss related to the transaction, which is included in loss on retirement of debt for the year ended December 31, 2011.

On April 30, 2010, we prepaid and retired our secured mortgage debt maturing in September 2024 in the amount of $1,654, excluding a prepayment fee of $17, which is included in Loss from Retirement of Debt.

On December 1, 2010, we paid off and retired our secured mortgage debt maturing in December 2010 in the amount of $12,970.

As of December 31, 2011, mortgage and other loans payable are collateralized by, and in some instances cross-collateralized by, industrial properties with a net carrying value of $889,722 and one letter of credit in the amount of $537. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to mortgage loans payable as of December 31, 2011.

In connection with these repurchases prior to maturity, we recognized $2,012 and $4,096 as loss from retirement of debt for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which is the difference between the repurchase price of $110,667 and $265,858, respectively, and the principal amount retired of $112,757 and $264,796, respectively, net of the pro rata write off of the unamortized debt issue discount, the unamortized loan fees, the unamortized settlement amount of the interest rate protection agreements and the professional services fees related to the repurchases of $135, $717, $3,250 and $0, respectively, and $1,707, $519, $(183) and $991 respectively.

On September 15, 2011, we paid off and retired our 2011 Exchangeable Notes, at maturity, in the amount of $128,900.

The indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to senior unsecured debt as of December 31, 2011. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by our noteholders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs.

Unsecured Credit Facility

We have maintained an unsecured credit facility since 1997. Effective October 22, 2010, we amended our existing revolving credit facility to provide for a $200,000 term loan and a $200,000 revolving line of credit (together the “Old Credit Facility”). The Old Credit Facility was to mature on September 28, 2012. In connection with the amendment of the Old Credit Facility, we wrote off $191 of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the decreased capacity of the agreement, which is included in Loss from Retirement of Debt for the year ended December 31, 2010. During June 2011, we made a permanent repayment of $100,000 on the term loan of our Old Credit Facility.

During December 2011, we entered into a new $450,000 unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”) which replaced the Old Credit Facility. We may request that the borrowing capacity under the Unsecured Credit Facility be increased to $500,000, subject to certain restrictions. We wrote off $1,172 of unamortized deferred financing costs reflected in Loss from Retirement of Debt for the year ended December 31, 2011 related to the Old Credit Facility. The Unsecured Credit Facility provides for interest only payments initially at LIBOR plus 210 basis points or at a base rate plus 210 basis points, at our election, based on

 

78


Table of Contents

our leverage ratio. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures on December 12, 2014, unless extended an additional one year at our election, subject to certain conditions. At December 31, 2011, borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.385%.

The Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Under the Unsecured Credit Facility, an event of default can also occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreement. We believe that we were in compliance with all covenants relating to the Unsecured Credit Facility as of December 31, 2011. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by our lenders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs.

The fair values of our mortgage loans payable and other loans payable were determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made based upon similar leverage levels and similar remaining maturities. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated; therefore, we have concluded that our determination of fair value for our mortgage and other loans payable was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes was determined by quoted market prices (Level 1) or, for certain senior unsecured notes that are thinly traded, were based upon transactions for senior unsecured notes with comparable maturities (Level 2). The fair value of the Unsecured Credit Facility was determined by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term, assuming no repayment until maturity. The current market rate utilized for our Unsecured Credit Facility was internally estimated; therefore, we have concluded that our determination of fair value was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs.

7. Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

On May 27, 2004, we issued 50,000 Depositary Shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of our 6.236%, $0.01 par value, Series F Flexible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”), at an initial offering price of $1,000.00 per Depositary Share. Dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock are cumulative from the date of initial issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears. The coupon rate of our Series F Preferred Stock resets every quarter at 2.375% plus the greater of (i) the 30 year Treasury CMT Rate, (ii) the 10 year Treasury CMT Rate or (iii) 3-month LIBOR. For the fourth quarter of 2011, the coupon rate was 5.365%. With respect to the payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series F Preferred Stock ranks senior to payments on our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series G Preferred Stock (hereinafter defined), Series J Preferred Stock (hereinafter defined) and Series K Preferred Stock (hereinafter defined). In October 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to mitigate our exposure to floating interest rates related to the forecasted reset rate of the coupon rate of our Series F Preferred Stock (see Note 14 for further information on the agreement).

On May 27, 2004, we issued 25,000 Depositary Shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of our 7.236%, $0.01 par value, Series G Flexible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock”), at an initial offering price of $1,000.00 per Depositary Share. Dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock are cumulative from the date of initial issuance and are payable semi-annually in arrears for the period from the date of original issuance of the Series G Preferred Stock through March 31, 2014 (the “Series G Initial Fixed Rate Period”), commencing on September 30, 2004, at a rate of 7.236% per annum of the liquidation preference (the “Series G Initial Distribution Rate”) (equivalent to $72.36 per Depositary Share). On or after March 31, 2014, the Series G Initial Distribution Rate is subject to reset, at our option, subject to certain conditions and parameters, at fixed or floating rates and periods. Fixed rates and periods will be determined through a remarketing procedure. Floating rates during floating rate periods will equal 2.500% (the initial credit spread), plus the greater of (i) the 3-month LIBOR, (ii) the 10 year Treasury CMT Rate, and (iii) the 30 year Treasury CMT Rate, reset quarterly. Dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock are payable semi-annually in arrears for fixed rate periods subsequent to the Series G Initial Fixed Rate Period and quarterly in arrears for floating rate periods. With respect to the payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series G Preferred Stock ranks senior to payments on our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series F Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock (hereinafter defined) and Series K Preferred Stock (hereinafter defined).

On January 13, 2006, we issued 6,000,000 Depositary Shares, each representing 1/10,000th of a share of our 7.25%, $.01 par value, Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series J Preferred Stock”), at an initial offering price of $25.00 per Depositary Share. The Series J Preferred Stock is redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at a cash redemption price of $25.00 per depositary share. Dividends on the Series J Preferred Stock, represented by the Depositary Shares, are cumulative from the date of initial issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears. However, during any period that both (i) the depositary shares are not listed on the NYSE or AMEX, or quoted on NASDAQ, and (ii) we are not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, but the preferred shares are outstanding, we will increase the dividend on the preferred shares to a rate of 8.25% of the liquidation preference per year. With respect to the payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series J Preferred Stock ranks senior to payments on our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock and Series K Preferred Stock (hereinafter defined).

On August 21, 2006, we issued 2,000,000 Depositary Shares, each representing 1/10,000th of a share of our 7.25%, $.01 par value, Series K Flexible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series K Preferred Stock”), at an initial offering price of $25.00 per Depositary Share. The Series K Preferred Stock is redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at a cash redemption price of $25.00 per depositary share. Dividends on the Series K Preferred Stock, represented by the Depositary Shares, are cumulative from the date of initial issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears. With respect to the payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series K Preferred Stock ranks senior to payments on our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock and Series J Preferred Stock.

All series of preferred stock have no stated maturity (although we may redeem all such preferred stock on or following their optional redemption dates at our option, in whole or in part).

Shares of Common Stock

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 125,784, 27,586, and 415,466 shares of common stock, respectively, were converted from an equivalent number of units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“Units”), resulting in a reclassification of $1,109, $316 and $7,817, respectively, of Noncontrolling Interest to First Industrial Realty Trust Inc.’s Stockholders’ Equity.

On May 12, 2011, we filed an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation, increasing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance from 100 million to 150 million shares.

On May 31, 2011, we announced an underwritten public offering of 8,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $12.15 per share to the public. Gross offering proceeds upon settlement on June 6, 2011 were $102,060 in the aggregate. Proceeds to us, net of underwriter’s discount of $1,176 and total expenses of $138, were approximately $100,746.

On March 3, 2011, we announced an underwritten public offering of 8,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.40 per share to the public. Gross offering proceeds upon settlement on March 4, 2011 were $101,460 in the aggregate. Proceeds to us, net of underwriter’s discount of $890 and total expenses of $166, were approximately $100,404.

On October 5, 2009, the Company sold in an underwritten public offering 13,635,700 shares of its common stock at a price of $5.25 per share. Gross offering proceeds from the issuance were $71,587 in the aggregate. Proceeds to the Company, net of underwriters’ discount of $3,042 and total expenses of $765, were approximately $67,780.

On February 28, 2011, we entered into distribution agreements with sales agents to sell up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, for up to $100,000 aggregate gross sale proceeds, from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings (the “ATM”). During the year ended December 31, 2011, we issued 115,856 shares of the Company’s common stock under the ATM resulting in proceeds to us of approximately $1,391, net of $28 paid to the sales agent. Under the terms of the ATM, sales are to be made primarily in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or by privately negotiated transactions.

On May 4, 2010, we entered into distribution agreements with sales agents to sell up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings (the “Original ATM”). During the year ended December 31, 2010, we issued 5,469,767 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Original ATM for approximately $44,117, net of $900 paid to the sales agent. Under the terms of the Original ATM, sales were made primarily in transactions that were deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or by privately negotiated transactions. On December 31, 2010, we concluded the Original ATM as a result of the expiration of the distribution agreements with our sales agents.

On August 8, 2008, the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (“DRIP”) became effective. Under the terms of the DRIP, stockholders who participate may reinvest all or part of their dividends in additional common stock of the Company at a discount from the market price, at our discretion, when the shares are issued and sold directly by us from authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock. Stockholders and non-stockholders may also purchase additional shares at a discounted price, at our discretion, when the shares are issued and sold directly by us from authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock, by making optional cash payments, subject to certain dollar thresholds. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we did not issue any shares of the Company’s common stock under the direct stock purchase component of the DRIP. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we issued 875,402 shares of the Company’s common stock under the direct stock purchase component of the DRIP for approximately $5,970. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued 3,034,120 shares under the direct stock purchase component of the DRIP for $15,920.

For income tax purposes, distributions paid to common shareholders are classified as ordinary income, capital gain, return of capital or qualified dividends. We did not pay common share distributions for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

For income tax purposes, distributions paid to preferred shareholders are classified as ordinary income, capital gain, return of capital or qualified dividends. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the preferred distributions per depositary share were classified as follows:

The 2010 tax characterization of preferred dividends disclosed in this footnote in the 2010 Form 10-K contained an error. The impact of the error affects the treatment of our preferred distributions for tax purposes only. The correction results in an increase in the ordinary income classification of $1.4529, an increase in the qualified dividend classification of $0.0222, an increase in the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain classification of $0.0706, and a decrease in the amount of distributions classified as return of capital of ($1.5457), all per depository share of our Series J and Series K preferred shares.

On August 24, 2009, we received a private letter ruling from the IRS granting favorable loss treatment under Sections 331 and 336 of the Code on the tax liquidation of one of our old taxable REIT subsidiaries. As a result, we completed a transaction on September 1, 2009 whereby approximately 75% of the assets formerly held by this taxable REIT subsidiary are now held by a limited liability company which is wholly owned by the Operating Partnership. The remaining 25% of the assets are now held by a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and is 99% owned by one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries formed in 2009. On November 6, 2009, legislation was signed that allows businesses with net operating losses for 2008 or 2009 to carry back those losses for up to five years. As a result, we received a refund from the IRS of $40,418 in the fourth quarter of 2009 due to the tax liquidation of one of our old taxable REIT subsidiaries.

A valuation allowance is recorded if we believe it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. We do not have projections of future taxable income in the taxable REIT subsidiaries significant enough to allow us to realize our deferred tax assets. Therefore, we have recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances, and which causes a change in our judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets, is included in the current tax provision.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had net deferred tax (liability) assets of $(120) and $863, after valuation allowances of $5,078 and $9,301, respectively. The decrease in the valuation allowance of $4,223 from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011 is primarily related to a decrease in net deferred tax assets and liabilities due to sales of property. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had net deferred tax assets of $863 and $776, after valuation allowances of $9,301 and $1,299, respectively. The increase in the valuation allowance of $8,002 from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 is primarily related to an increase in net deferred tax assets due to the impairment of real estate.

Michigan Tax Issue

As of December 31, 2008, we had paid approximately $1,400 (representing tax and interest for the years 1997-2000) to the State of Michigan regarding business loss carryforwards the appropriateness of which was the subject of litigation initiated by us. On December 11, 2007, the Michigan Court of Claims rendered a decision against us regarding the business loss carryforwards. Also, the court ruled against us on an alternative position involving Michigan’s Capital Acquisition Deduction. We filed an appeal to the Michigan Appeals Court in January 2008; however, as a result of the lower court’s decision, an additional approximately $800 (representing tax and interest for the year 2001) had been accrued through June 30, 2009 for both tax and financial statement purposes. On August 18, 2009, the Michigan Appeals Court issued a decision in our favor on the business loss carryforward issue. The Michigan Department of Treasury appealed the decision to the Michigan Supreme Court on September 29, 2009; however, we believed there was a very low probability that the Michigan Supreme Court would accept the case. Therefore, in September 2009 we reversed our accrual of $800 (related to the 2001 tax year) and set up a receivable of $1,400 for the amount paid in 2006 (related to the 1997-2000 tax years), resulting

in an aggregate reversal of prior tax expense of approximately $2,200. On April 23, 2010, the Michigan Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Michigan Appeals Court and reinstated the decision of the Michigan Court of Claims. Based on the most recent ruling of the Michigan Supreme Court, we reversed the receivable of $1,400 and paid approximately $800, for a total of approximately $2,200 of tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2010, which is included in continuing operations.

11. Restructuring Costs

We committed to a plan to reduce organizational and overhead costs in October 2008 and subsequently modified that plan during 2011, 2010 and 2009 with the goal of further reducing these costs. The following summarizes our restructuring costs for each of the years ended December 31:

13. Stock Based Compensation

We maintain five stock incentive plans (the “Stock Incentive Plans”) which are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. There are 11.5 million shares authorized for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plans. Only officers, certain employees, our Independent Directors and our affiliates generally are eligible to participate in the Stock Incentive Plans.

The Stock Incentive Plans authorize (i) the grant of stock options that qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, (ii) the grant of stock options that do not so qualify, (iii) restricted stock/Unit awards (including awards subject to performance conditions), and (iv) dividend equivalent rights. The exercise price of the stock options is determined by the Compensation Committee. Special provisions apply to awards

In September 1994, the Board of Directors approved and we adopted a 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan. Under our 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan, all eligible employees may participate by making voluntary contributions. We may make, but are not required to make, matching contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, matching contributions of $197, $194 and $0, respectively were recorded.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we awarded 292,339, 573,198 and 1,473,600 restricted stock and unit awards to our employees having a fair value at grant date of $3,248, $3,336 and $7,406, respectively. We also awarded 0, 0 and 35,145 restricted stock awards to our directors having a fair value at grant date of $0, $0 and $149 respectively. Restricted stock awards granted to employees generally vest over a period of three to four years and restricted stock awards granted to directors generally vest over a period of five years. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we recognized $3,759, $6,040 and $13,015 in restricted stock amortization related to restricted stock and unit awards, of which $0, $0 and $45, respectively, was capitalized in connection with development activities. At December 31, 2011, we have $5,141 in unearned compensation related to unvested restricted stock awards. The weighted average period that the unrecognized compensation is expected to be incurred is 0.79 years.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we made a grant of 1,000,000 restricted stock units to our Chief Executive Officer. These restricted stock units had a fair value of approximately $6,014 on the date of issuance. Of these restricted stock units, a total of 600,000 (the “Service Awards”) vest in four equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth year anniversary of December 31, 2008, and a total of 400,000 (the “Performance Awards I”) vest in four installments of up to 100,000 on the first, up to 200,000 on the second, up to 300,000 on the third and up to 400,000 on the fourth year anniversary of December 31, 2008, to the extent certain market conditions are met. The market conditions are met when certain stock price levels are achieved and maintained for certain time periods between the award issuance date and December 31, 2013. Both the Service Awards and Performance Awards I require the Chief Executive Officer to be employed by the Company at the applicable vesting dates, subject to certain clauses in the award agreement. The Service Awards are amortized over the four year service period. The Performance Awards I are amortized over the service period of each installment. As of December 31, 2011, there have been 525,000 Service and Performance Awards I issued.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we made a grant of 473,600 restricted stock units to certain members of management (the “Performance Awards II”). The Performance Awards II had a fair value of approximately $1,392 on the date of issuance and will vest in four installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of June 30, 2009, to the extent certain service periods and market conditions are both met. The market conditions are met when certain stock price levels are achieved and maintained for certain time periods between the award issuance date and June 30, 2014. The Performance Awards II are amortized over the service period of each installment. In conjunction with the issuance of the Performance Awards II, the members of management were also granted cash awards with a fair value of $792. The cash awards vested on June 30, 2010 and compensation expense was recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period. In order to receive the Performance Awards II, the members of management are required to be employed by the Company at the applicable vesting dates, subject to certain clauses in the award agreements. As of December 31, 2011, there have been 39,100 Performance Awards II issued.

The fair value of the Performance Awards I and the Performance Awards II at issuance was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, certain members of management were granted cash awards with a fair value of $1,810 and $688, respectively. The cash awards vest on June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively, and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period. In order to receive the cash awards, the members of management are required to be employed by the Company at the vesting date, subject to certain clauses of the award agreements.

14. Derivatives

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our cash flow volatility and exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Our Series F Preferred Stock is subject to a coupon rate reset. The coupon rate resets every quarter at 2.375% plus the greater of i) the 30 year Treasury CMT Rate, ii) the 10 year Treasury CMT Rate or iii) 3-month

Table of Contents

LIBOR. For the fourth quarter of 2011, the new coupon rate was 5.365% (see Note 7). In October 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional value of $50,000 to mitigate our exposure to floating interest rates related to the forecasted reset rate of the coupon rate of our Series F Preferred Stock (the “Series F Agreement”). This Series F Agreement fixes the 30-year U.S. Treasury rate at 5.2175%. Accounting guidance for derivatives does not permit hedge accounting treatment related to equity instruments and therefore the mark to market gains or losses related to this agreement are recorded in the statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, losses of $1,718 and $1,107, respectively, is recognized as Mark-to-Market Loss on Interest Rate Protection Agreements. Quarterly payments are treated as a component of the mark to market gains or losses and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, which totaled $574 and $492, respectively.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) and is subsequently reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the derivative or over the life of the debt. In the next 12 months, we will amortize approximately $2,255 into net income by increasing interest expense for interest rate protection agreements we settled in previous periods.

During 2010, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture had interest rate protection agreements outstanding which effectively converted floating rate debt to fixed rate debt on a portion of its total variable debt. The hedge relationships were considered highly effective and as such, for the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded $1,137 in unrealized gain, representing our 10% share, offset by $414 of income tax provision, which is shown in Mark-to-Market on Interest Rate Protection Agreements, Net of Income Tax, in OCI. In connection with the sale of our equity interest of the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture on August 5, 2010, we wrote off $1,625 that was recorded in OCI related to our 10% share of unrealized loss related to the interest rate protection agreements.

Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if we default on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations subject to certain thresholds.

The guidance for fair value measurement of financial instruments includes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table sets forth our financial liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

The valuation of the Series F Agreement is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the instrument. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the agreements including the period to maturity. In adjusting the fair value of the interest rate protection agreements for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements. To comply with the provisions of fair value measurement, we incorporated a credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. However, assessing significance of inputs is a matter of judgment that should consider a variety of factors. One factor we consider is the CVA and its materiality to the overall valuation of the derivatives on the balance sheet and to their related changes in fair value. We consider the Series F Agreement to be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to a significant number of unobservable inputs. The Series F Agreement swaps a fixed rate 5.2175% for floating rate payments based on 30-year Treasury. No market observable prices exist for long-dated Treasuries. Therefore, we have classified the Series F Agreement in its entirety as a Level 3.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Twelve properties have leases granting the tenants options to purchase the property. Such options are exercisable at various times at appraised fair market value or at a fixed purchase price in excess of our depreciated cost of the asset. We have no notice of any exercise of any tenant purchase option.

At December 31, 2011, we had letters of credit outstanding and performance bonds in the aggregate amount of $6,780. These letters of credit expire between February 2012 and July 2013.

In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of our industrial properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity.

Ground and Operating Lease Agreements

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, we recognized $1,955, $3,047 and $4,181, respectively, in operating and ground lease expense.

Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable ground and operating leases under which we are the lessee, offset by sub-lease rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases, as of December 31, 2011, are as follows:

From January 1, 2012 to February 28, 2012, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA in connection with the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. The acquisition was funded through the assumption of a mortgage loan in the amount of $12,026, which was subsequently paid off at closing and a cash payment of $8,324. We will account for this transaction as a step acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting. There were no industrial properties sold during this time.

From January 1, 2012 to February 28, 2012, we repurchased and retired $430 of our senior unsecured notes maturing in 2028 for a payment of $406.

17. Quarterly Financial Information (unaudited)

The following tables summarize our quarterly financial information. The first, second and third fiscal quarters of 2011 and all fiscal quarters in 2010 have been revised in accordance with guidance on accounting for discontinued operations. The results of operations for the fourth quarter of 2010 include $2,387 which should have been recorded as part of the impairment charge recorded during the third quarter in 2010. Management evaluated this impairment charge and believes it is not material to the results of operations of either quarter.

Any adjustment to the Conversion Factor shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

Depreciation: For each Fiscal Year or other period, an amount equal to the depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction allowable with respect to an asset for such year or other period, except that if the Book Value of an asset differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such year or other period, Depreciation shall be adjusted as necessary so as to be an amount which bears the same ratio to such beginning Book Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction for such year or other period bears to the beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however, that if the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction for such year or other period is zero, Depreciation for such year or other period shall be determined with reference to such beginning Book Value using any reasonable method approved by the General Partner.

Distributable Cash: With respect to any period, and without duplication:

The adjusted basis of property subject to more than one partner nonrecourse debt shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the allocation of basis for purposes of determining Partnership Minimum Gain hereunder.

Partner Nonrecourse Deductions: With respect to any partner nonrecourse debt (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)), the increase in Partner Minimum Gain during the tax year plus any increase in Partner Minimum Gain for a prior tax year which has not previously generated a Partner Nonrecourse Deduction hereunder. The determination of which Partnership items constitute Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be made in a manner consistent with the manner in which Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions are determined hereunder.

Partners: The General Partner, the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner and the Limited Partners as a group. The term “Partner” shall mean a General Partner, the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner, the Class J Limited Partner, the Class K Limited Partner or a Limited Partner. Such terms shall be deemed to include such other Persons who become Partners pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

A Partnership Interest may be expressed as a number of Partnership Units.

Partnership Minimum Gain: The aggregate gain (regardless of character) which would be realized by the Partnership if all of the property of the Partnership subject to nonrecourse debt (other than partner nonrecourse debt as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) were disposed of in full satisfaction of such debt and for no other consideration on the relevant date. In the case of any Nonrecourse Liability of the Partnership which is not secured by a mortgage with respect to any specific property of the Partnership, any and all property of the Partnership to which the holder of said liability has recourse shall be treated as subject to such Nonrecourse Liability for purposes of the preceding sentence. Partnership Minimum Gain shall be computed separately for each Nonrecourse Liability of the Partnership. For this purpose, the adjusted basis of property subject to two or more liabilities of equal priority shall be allocated among such liabilities in proportion to the outstanding balance of such liabilities, and the adjusted basis of property subject to two or more liabilities of unequal priority shall be allocated to the liability of inferior priority only to the extent of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of such property over the outstanding balance of the liability of superior priority. Partnership Minimum Gain shall be computed hereunder using the Book Value, rather than the adjusted tax basis, of the Partnership property in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)(3).

Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions: The amount of Partnership deductions equal to the increase, if any, in the amount of the aggregate Partnership Minimum Gain during the tax year (plus any increase in Partnership Minimum Gain for a prior tax year which has not previously generated a Partnership Nonrecourse Deduction) reduced (but not below zero) by the aggregate distributions made during the tax year of the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability of the Partnership which are attributable to an increase in Partnership Minimum Gain within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d). The Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions for a Partnership tax year shall consist first of depreciation or cost recovery deductions with respect to each property of the Partnership giving rise to such increase in Partnership Minimum Gain on a pro rata basis to the extent of each such increase, with any excess made up pro rata of all items of deduction.

Partnership Unit: A fractional, undivided share of the Partnership Interests of all Partners (other than the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner, the Class J Limited Partner and the Class K Limited Partner) issued pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof.

Percentage Interest: As to any Partner, the percentage in the Partnership, as determined by dividing the Partnership Units then owned by such Partner by the total number of Partnership Units then outstanding, as the same may be automatically adjusted from time to time to reflect the issuance and redemption of Partnership Units in accordance with this Agreement, without requiring the amendment of Exhibit 1B to reflect any such issuance or redemption.

c. Gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Partnership property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of the property disposed of notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from such Book Value;

d. In lieu of the depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such Fiscal Year or other period, computed in accordance with the definition of “Depreciation” herein; and

e. In the event that any item of income, gain, loss or deduction that has been included in the initial computation of Profit or Loss is subject to the special allocation rules of Sections 5.2(C), 5.2(D) and 5.2(I) through 5.2(L), Profit or Loss shall be recomputed without regard to such item.

(1) all losses or deductions of the Partnership computed in accordance with this Section 4.4 and allocated to such Partner pursuant to Article V,

(B) For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, deduction or loss to be reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of each such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) and accounting for those adjustments set forth in the definition of Profits and Losses, with the following additional adjustments:

(1) the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any Code Section 754 election that may be made by the Partnership, except to the extent required in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m); and

(E) The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. In the event the General Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Partners’ Capital Accounts are computed hereunder in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the General Partner may make such modification if such modification is not likely to have a material effect on the amount distributable to any Partner under the terms of this Agreement and the General Partner notifies the other Partners in writing of such modification prior to making such modification.

Section 4.5 Return of Capital Account; Interest. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, (i) no Partner shall have any right to withdraw or reduce its Capital Contributions or Capital Account, or to demand and receive property other than cash from the Partnership in return for its Capital Contributions or Capital Account; (ii) no Partner shall have any priority over any other Partners as to the return of its Capital Contributions or Capital Account; (iii) any return of Capital Contributions or Capital Accounts to the Partners shall be solely from the Partnership Assets, and no Partner shall be personally liable for any such return; and (iv) no interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital Contributions or on balances in Partners’ Capital Accounts.

(3) Third, to the General Partner until (i) the excess of (a) the cumulative Losses allocated under this Section 5.2(B)(3), whether in the current or in any prior Fiscal Year, over (b) the cumulative Profits allocated under Section 5.2(A)(4), whether in the current or in any prior Fiscal Year, equals (ii) the excess of (a) the amount of Recourse Liabilities over (b) the Aggregate Protected Amount;

(4) Fourth, to and among the Contributor Partners, in accordance with their respective Protected Amounts, until the excess of (a) the cumulative Losses allocated under this Section 5.2(B)(4), whether in the current or in any prior Fiscal Year, over (b) the cumulative Profits allocated under , whether in the current or in any prior Fiscal Year, equals the Aggregate Protected Amount (as of the close of the Fiscal Year to which such allocation relates);

(5) Fifth, to the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner, the Class J Limited Partner and the Class K Limited Partner, in accordance with their respective Adjusted Capital Accounts, until their Adjusted Capital Accounts are reduced to zero; and

(6) Thereafter, to the General Partner;

provided, however, (i) that, from and following the first Fiscal Year upon which a Contributor Partner is no longer a Partner of the Partnership, the provisions of this Section 5.2(B) shall be null, void and without further force and effect with respect to such Contributor Partner; (ii) that this Section 5.2(B) shall control, notwithstanding any reallocation or adjustment of taxable income, loss or other items by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority; provided, however, that neither the Partnership nor the General Partner (nor any of their respective affiliates) is required to indemnify any Contributor Partner (or its affiliates) for the loss of any tax benefit resulting from any reallocation or adjustment of taxable income, loss or other items by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority; and (iii) that, during such period as there are Contributor Partners in the Partnership, the provisions of Section 5.2(B)(4) shall not be amended in a manner which adversely affects the Contributor Partners (without the consent of each Contributor Partner so affected).

(C) Special Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the following special allocations will be made in the following order and priority:

(1) Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any tax year or other

 

17


period for which allocations are made, each Partner will be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for that tax year or other period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during such tax year or other period determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.2(C)(1) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith, including the exceptions to the minimum gain chargeback requirement set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and (3). If the General Partner concludes, after consultation with tax counsel, that the Partnership meets the requirements for a waiver of the minimum gain chargeback requirement as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(4), the General Partner may take steps reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to obtain such waiver.

(2) Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section (other than Section 5.2(C)(1) which shall be applied before this Section 5.2(C)(2)), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during any tax year or other period for which allocations are made, each Partner with a share of Partner Minimum Gain determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5) shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for that period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii). This Section 5.2(C)(2) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulations Section and shall be interpreted consistently therewith, including the exceptions set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(2) and (3) to the extent such exceptions apply to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4). If the General Partner concludes, after consultation with tax counsel, that the Partnership meets the requirements for a waiver of the Partner Minimum Gain chargeback requirement set forth in Treasury Regulation 1.704-2(f), but only to the extent such exception applies to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), the General Partner may take steps necessary or appropriate to obtain such waiver.

(3) Qualified Income Offset. A Partner who unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) will be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by Treasury Regulations 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(C)(3) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.2(C)(3) were not contained in this Agreement.

(4) Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions. Partnership Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made will be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(5) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made will be allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the liability to which the Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

(6) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset under Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or (4), the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis of the asset), and the gain or loss will be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

 

18


(7) Depreciation Recapture. In the event there is any recapture of Depreciation or investment tax credit, the allocation thereof shall be made among the Partners in the same proportion as the deduction for such Depreciation or investment tax credit was allocated.

(8) Interest in Partnership. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no allocation of Profit or Loss (or item of Profit or Loss) will be made to a Partner if the allocation would not have “economic effect” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(a) or otherwise would not be in accordance with the Partner’s interest in the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(3).

(D) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.2(C)(1) through (8) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to divide Partnership distributions. Accordingly, the General Partner is authorized to further allocate Profits, Losses, and other items among the Partners in a reasonable manner so as to prevent the Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which Partnership distributions would be divided among the Partners under Section 5.3, but for application of the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the reallocation will be accomplished by specially allocating other Profits, Losses and items of income, gain, loss and deduction, to the extent they exist, among the Partners so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and the special allocations to each Partner is zero. The General Partner may accomplish this result in any reasonable manner that is consistent with Code Section 704 and the related Treasury Regulations.

(E) Tax Allocations.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2(E)(2), each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes in the same manner as each correlative item of income, gain, loss or deduction, is allocated for book purposes pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof.

(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V, in an attempt to eliminate any Book-Tax Disparity with respect to a Contributed Property, items of income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to each such property shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners as follows:

(a) Depreciation, Amortization and Other Cost Recovery Items. In the case of each Contributed Property with a Book-Tax Disparity, any item of depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance attributable to such property shall be allocated as follows: (x) first, to Partners (the “Non-Contributing Partners”) other than the Partners who contributed such property to the Partnership (or are deemed to have contributed the property pursuant to Section 4.1(A)) (the “Contributing Partners”) in an amount up to the book allocation of such items made to the Non-Contributing Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of book items so allocated to the Non-Contributing Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof; and (y) any remaining depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance to the Contributing Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests. In no event shall the total depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance allocated hereunder exceed the amount of the Partnership’s depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery allowance with respect to such property.

(b) Gain or Loss on Disposition. In the event the Partnership sells or otherwise disposes of a Contributed Property with a Book-Tax Disparity, any gain or loss recognized by the Partnership in connection with such sale or other disposition shall be allocated among the Partners as follows: (x) first, any gain or loss shall be allocated to the Contributing Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests to the extent required to eliminate any Book-Tax Disparity with respect to such property; and (y) any remaining gain or loss shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner that the correlative items of book gain or loss are allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof.

 

19


(3) In the event the Book Value of a Partnership Asset (including a Contributed Property) is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.4(D) hereof, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction in respect of such property shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners in the same manner as provided in Section 5.2(E)(2) hereof to take into account any variation between the fair market value of the property, as determined by the General Partner using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt, and the Book Value of such property, both determined as of the date of such adjustment.

(4) The General Partner shall have the authority to elect alternative methods to eliminate the Book-Tax Disparity with respect to one or more Contributed Properties, as permitted by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-3 and 1.704-3T, and such election shall be binding on all of the Partners.

(5) The Partners hereby intend that the allocation of tax items pursuant to this Section 5.2(E) comply with the requirements of Code Section 704(c) and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-3 and 1.704-3T.

(6) The allocation of items of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.2(E) are solely for federal, state and local income tax purposes, and the Capital Account balances of the Partners shall be adjusted solely for allocations of “book” items in respect of Partnership Assets pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof.

(F) Other Allocation Rules. The following rules will apply to the calculation and allocation of Profits, Losses and other items:

(1) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Profits, Losses and other items allocated to the Partners will be allocated among them in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

(2) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other item allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and other items will be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the related Treasury Regulations.

(3) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction, and other allocations not provided for in this Agreement will be divided among the Partners in the same proportions as they share Profits and Losses, provided that any credits shall be allocated in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(4) For purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a), the Partners hereby agree that any Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the sum of (i) the Partnership Minimum Gain and (ii) the aggregate amount of taxable gain that would be allocated to the Partners under Section 704(c) (or in the same manner as Section 704(c) in connection with a revaluation of Partnership property) if the Partnership disposed of (in a taxable transaction) all Partnership property subject to one or more Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in full satisfaction of such Liabilities and for no other consideration, shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their respective Partnership Interests; provided that the General Partner shall have discretion in any Fiscal Year to allocate such excess Nonrecourse Liabilities among the Partners (a) in a manner reasonably consistent with allocations (that have substantial economic effect) of some other significant item of Partnership income or gain or (b) in accordance with the manner in which it is reasonably expected that the deductions attributable to the excess Nonrecourse Liabilities will be allocated.

(G) Partner Acknowledgment. The Partners agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.2 in reporting their shares of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for income tax purposes.

(H) Regulatory Compliance. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2 relating to the allocation of Profits, Losses and other items for federal income tax purposes are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b), 1.704-2, 1.704-3 and 1.704-3T and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.

In exercising its authority hereunder, the General Partner may, but shall not be under any obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Partner of any action it undertakes on behalf of the Partnership.

The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent; provided that the General Partner selected or appointed such agent in good faith.

The General Partner acknowledges that it owes fiduciary duties both to its stockholders and to the Limited Partners and it shall use its reasonable efforts to discharge such duties to each; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict between the interests of the stockholders of the General Partner and the interests of the Limited Partners, the Limited Partners agree that the General Partner shall discharge its fiduciary duties to the Limited Partners by acting in the best interests of the General Partner’s stockholders. Nothing contained in the preceding sentence shall be construed as entitling the General Partner to realize any profit or gain from any transaction between the General Partner and the Partnership (except in connection with a distribution in accordance with this Agreement), including from the lending of money by the General Partner to the Partnership or the contribution of property by the General Partner to the Partnership, it being understood that in any such transaction the General Partner shall be entitled to cost recovery only.

Section 6.7 Indemnification.

(A) The Partnership shall indemnify the General Partner and each director, officer and stockholder of the General Partner and each Person (including any Affiliate) designated as an agent by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion (each, an “Indemnified Party”) to the fullest extent permitted under the Act (including any procedures set forth therein regarding advancement of expenses to such Indemnified Party) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, settlements and any other amounts arising out of or in connection with any claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings (civil, criminal or administrative) relating to or resulting (directly or indirectly) from the operations of the Partnership, in which such Indemnified Party becomes involved, or reasonably believes it may become involved, as a result of the capacity referred to above.

(B) The Partnership shall have the authority to purchase and maintain such insurance policies on behalf of the Indemnified Parties as the General Partner shall determine, which policies may cover those liabilities the General Partner reasonably believes may be incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with the operation of the business of the Partnership. The right to procure such insurance on behalf of the Indemnified Parties shall in no way mitigate or otherwise affect the right of any such Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.7(A) hereof.

(C) The provisions of this Section 6.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights in or benefit to any other Person.

Each Limited Partner shall have, upon written demand and at such Limited Partner’s expense, the right to receive true and complete information regarding Partnership matters to the extent required (and subject to the limitations) under Delaware law.

Section 7.2 Annual Audit and Accounting. The books and records of the Partnership shall be kept for financial and tax reporting purposes on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Section 7.3 Partnership Funds. The General Partner shall have responsibility for the safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of the Partnership, whether or not in its direct or indirect possession or control. All funds of the Partnership not otherwise invested shall be deposited in one or more accounts maintained in such banking institutions as the General Partner shall determine, and withdrawals shall be made only in the regular course of Partnership business on such signatures as the General Partner may from time to time determine.

Section 7.4 Reports and Notices. The General Partner shall provide all Partners with the following reports no later than the dates indicated or as soon thereafter as circumstances permit:

(A) By March 31 of each year, IRS Form 1065 and Schedule K-1, or similar forms as may be required by the IRS, stating each Partner’s allocable share of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for the prior Fiscal Year;

(B) Within ninety (90) days after the end of each of the first three (3) fiscal quarters, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter, a report containing unaudited financial statements of the Partnership, or of the General Partner if such statements are prepared on a consolidated basis with the General Partner, and such other information as may be legally required or determined to be appropriate by the General Partner; and

(C) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, as of the close of the Fiscal Year, an annual report containing audited financial statements of the Partnership, or of the General Partner if such statements are prepared on a consolidated basis with the General Partner, presented in accordance with GAAP and certified by the Independent Accountants.

Section 7.5 Tax Matters.

(A) The General Partner shall be the Tax Matters Partner of the Partnership for federal income tax matters pursuant to Code Section 6231(a)(7)(A). The Tax Matters Partner is authorized and required to represent the Partnership (at the expense of the Partnership) in connection with all examinations of the affairs of the Partnership by any federal, state, or local tax authorities, including any resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend funds of the Partnership for professional services and costs associated therewith. The Tax Matters Partner shall deliver to the Limited Partners within ten (10) business days of the receipt thereof a copy of any notice or other communication with respect to the Partnership received from the IRS (or other governmental tax authority), or any court, in each case with respect to any administrative or judicial proceeding involving the Partnership. The Partners agree to cooperate with each other in connection with the conduct of all proceedings pursuant to this Section 7.5(A).

(B) The Tax Matters Partner shall receive no compensation for its services in such capacity. If the Tax Matters Partner incurs any costs related to any tax audit, declaration of any tax deficiency or any administrative proceeding or litigation involving any Partnership tax matter, such amount shall be an expense of the Partnership and the Tax Matters Partner shall be entitled to full reimbursement therefor.

(C) The General Partner shall cause to be prepared all federal, state and local income tax returns required of the Partnership at the Partnership’s expense.

 

26


(D) Except as set forth herein, the General Partner shall determine whether to make (and, if necessary, revoke) any tax election available to the Partnership under the Code or any state tax law; provided, however, upon the request of any Partner, the General Partner shall make the election under Code Section 754 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 709.

Section 7.6 Withholding. Each Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay to any taxing authority on behalf of such Partner any tax that the General Partner determines the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Partner. Any amount paid to any taxing authority which does not constitute a reduction in the amount otherwise distributable to such Partner shall be treated as a loan from the Partnership to such Partner, which loan shall bear interest at the “prime rate” as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal plus two (2) percentage points, and shall be repaid within ten (10) business days after request for repayment from the General Partner. The obligation to repay any such loan shall be secured by such Partner’s Partnership Interest and each Partner hereby grants the Partnership a security interest in his Partnership Interest for the purposes set forth in this Section 7.6, this Section 7.6 being intended to serve as a security agreement for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code with the General Partner having in respect hereof all of the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Each Partner agrees to take such reasonable actions as the General Partner may request to perfect and continue the perfection of the security interest granted hereby. In the event any Partner fails to repay any deemed loan pursuant to this Section 7.6 the Partnership shall be entitled to avail itself of any rights and remedies it may have. Furthermore, upon the expiration of ten (10) business days after demand for payment, the General Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of the defaulting Partner and thereupon be subrogated to the rights of the Partnership with respect to such defaulting Partner.

ARTICLE VIII. TRANSFER OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS; ADMISSIONS OF PARTNERS

Section 8.1 Transfer by General Partner. The General Partner may not voluntarily withdraw or Transfer all or any portion of its General Partner Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may (i) consummate any acquisition, merger, consolidation, share exchange or other similar transaction provided that (A) substantially all of the assets of the General Partner surviving or resulting from such transaction, other than Partnership Interests, are contributed to the Partnership if not already owned thereby as a Capital Contribution in exchange for Partnership Interests or are otherwise received by the Partnership through any acquisition, merger, consolidation, share exchange or other similar transaction approved in accordance with Section 3.3 and consummated by the Partnership in connection with such transaction consummated by the General Partner or (B) in connection with such transaction (including, without limitation, through any acquisition, merger, consolidation, share exchange or other similar transaction approved in accordance with Section 3.3 and consummated by the Partnership), each Partnership Unit either will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, an amount of cash, securities or other property equal to the product of the Conversion Factor multiplied by the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid in consideration of one REIT Share pursuant to such transaction or (ii) pledge its General Partner Interest in furtherance of the Partnership’s business (including without limitation, in connection with a loan agreement under which the Partnership is a borrower) without the consent of any Partner.

Section 8.2 Obligations of a Prior General Partner. Upon an Involuntary Withdrawal of the General Partner and the subsequent Transfer of the General Partner’s Interest, such General Partner shall (i) remain liable for all obligations and liabilities (other than Partnership liabilities payable solely from Partnership Assets) incurred by it as General Partner before the effective date of such event and (ii) pay all costs associated with the admission of its Successor General Partner. However, such General Partner shall be free of and held harmless by the Partnership against any obligation or liability incurred on account of the activities of the Partnership from and after the effective date of such event, except as provided in this Agreement.

Section 8.3 Successor General Partner. Except as provided in the last sentence of this section, a successor to all of a General Partner’s General Partner Interest who is proposed to be admitted to the Partnership as a Successor General Partner shall be admitted as the General Partner, effective upon the Transfer. Any such transferee shall carry on the business of the Partnership without dissolution. In addition, the following conditions must be satisfied:

 

27


(A) The Person shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof and such other documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate in order to effect the admission of such Person as a General Partner;

(B) An amendment to this Agreement evidencing the admission of such Person as a General Partner shall have been executed by all General Partners and an amendment to the Certificate shall have been filed for recordation as required by the Act; and

(C) Any consent required under Section 10.1(A) hereof shall have been obtained.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor to a General Partner by merger, consolidation, share exchange or other similar transaction shall, without further act, be the General Partner hereunder, and such merger, consolidation share exchange or other similar transaction shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of this Agreement, and the Partnership shall continue without dissolution.

Section 8.4 Restrictions on Transfer and Withdrawal by Limited Partner.

(A) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.4(D), no Limited Partner may Transfer all or any portion of his Partnership Interest without first obtaining the Consent of the General Partner, which Consent may be granted or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. Any such purported transfer undertaken without such Consent shall be considered to be null and void ab initio and shall not be given effect. Each Limited Partner acknowledges that the General Partner has agreed not to grant any such consent prior to the Transfer Restriction Date.

(B) No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a permitted Transfer (i.e., a Transfer consented to as contemplated by clause (A) above or clause (D) below or a Transfer pursuant to clause (C) below) of all of his Partnership Units pursuant to this Article VIII or pursuant to a redemption or exchange of all of his Partnership Units pursuant to Article IX. Upon the permitted Transfer or redemption of all of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Units, such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

(C) Upon the Involuntary Withdrawal of any Limited Partner (which shall under no circumstance cause the dissolution of the Partnership), the executor, administrator, trustee, guardian, receiver or conservator of such Limited Partner’s estate shall become a Substituted Limited Partner upon compliance with the provisions of Section 8.5(A)(1)-(3).

(D) Subject to Section 8.4(E), a Limited Partner may Transfer, with the Consent of the General Partner, all or a portion of his Partnership Units to (a) a parent or parents, spouse, natural or adopted descendant or descendants, spouse of such a descendant, or brother or sister, or a trust created by such Limited Partner for the benefit of such Limited Partner and/or any such person(s), of which trust such Limited Partner or any such person(s) is a trustee, (b) a corporation controlled by a Person or Persons named in (a) above, or (c) if the Limited Partner is an entity, its beneficial owners, and the General Partner shall grant its Consent to any Transfer pursuant to this Section 8.4(D) unless such Transfer, in the reasonable judgment of the General Partner, would cause (or have the potential to cause) the General Partner to fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT, in which case the General Partner shall have the absolute right to refuse to permit such Transfer, and any purported Transfer in violation of this Section 8.4(D) shall be null and void ab initio.

(E) No Transfer of Limited Partnership Units shall be made if such Transfer would (i) in the opinion of Partnership counsel, cause the Partnership to be terminated for federal income tax purposes or to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation (rather than a partnership) for federal income tax purposes; (ii) be effected through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code Section 7704 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (iii) in the opinion of Partnership counsel, violate the provisions of applicable securities laws; (iv) violate the terms of (or result in a default or acceleration under) any law, rule, regulation, agreement or commitment binding on the Partnership; (v) 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(e) of the

 

28


Code); (vi) in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion of the underlying assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101; or (vii) result in a deemed distribution to any Partner attributable to a failure to meet the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-2(d)(1), unless such Partner consents thereto.

(F) Prior to the consummation of any Transfer under this Section 8.4, the transferor and/or the transferee shall deliver to the General Partner such opinions, certificates and other documents as the General Partner shall request in connection with such Transfer.

Section 8.5 Substituted Limited Partner.

(A) No transferee shall become a Substituted Limited Partner in place of his assignor unless and until the following conditions have been satisfied:

(1) The assignor and transferee file a Notice or other evidence of Transfer and such other information reasonably required by the General Partner, including, without limitation, names, addresses and telephone numbers of the assignor and transferee;

(2) The transferee executes, adopts and acknowledges this Agreement, or a counterpart hereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the General Partner, including without limitation, all documents necessary to comply with applicable tax and/or securities rules and regulations;

(3) The assignor or transferee pays all costs and fees incurred or charged by the Partnership to effect the Transfer and substitution; and

(4) The assignor or transferee obtains the written Consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.

(B) If a transferee of a Limited Partner does not become a Substituted Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.5(A), such transferee shall be an Assignee and shall not have any rights to require any information on account of the Partnership’s business, to inspect the Partnership’s books or to vote or otherwise take part in the affairs of the Partnership (such Partnership Units being deemed to have been voted in the same proportion as all other Partnership Units held by Limited Partners have been voted). Such Assignee shall be entitled, however, to all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act. Any Assignee wishing to Transfer the Partnership Units acquired shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article VIII.

Section 8.6 Timing and Effect of Transfers. Unless the General Partner agrees otherwise, Transfers under this Article VIII may only be made as of the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership. Upon any Transfer of a Partnership Interest in accordance with this Article VIII or redemption of a Partnership Interest in accordance with Article IX, the Partnership shall allocate all items of Profit and Loss between the assignor Partner and the transferee Partner in accordance with Section 5.2(F)(2) hereof. The assignor Partner shall have the right to receive all distributions as to which the Record Date precedes the date of Transfer and the transferee Partner shall have the right to receive all distributions thereafter.

Section 8.7 Additional Limited Partners. Other than in accordance with the transactions specified in the Contribution Agreements, after the initial execution of this Agreement and the admission to the Partnership of the Initial Limited Partners, any Person making a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in accordance herewith shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner of the Partnership only (i) with the Consent of the General Partner and (ii) upon execution, adoption and acknowledgment of this Agreement, or a counterpart hereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the General Partner, including without limitation, the power of attorney required under Section 12.3. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing requirements, such Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books of the Partnership.

 

29


Section 8.8 Amendment of Agreement and Certificate. Upon any admission of a Person as a Partner to the Partnership, the General Partner shall make any necessary amendment to this Agreement to reflect such admission and, if required by the Act, to cause to be filed an amendment to the Certificate.

ARTICLE IX. REDEMPTION

Section 9.1 Right of Redemption.

(A) Subject to any restriction on the General Partner, which restriction may arise as a result of the REIT Charter, the laws governing the General Partner or otherwise (a “Redemption Restriction”), beginning on the Redemption Effective Date, during each Redemption Period each Redeeming Party shall have the right to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the Partnership Units held by such Redeeming Party by providing the General Partner with a Redemption Notice. A Limited Partner may invoke its rights under this Article IX with respect to 100 Partnership Units or an integral multiple thereof or all of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner. Upon the General Partner’s receipt of a Redemption Notice from a Redeeming Party, the Partnership shall be obligated (subject to the existence of any Redemption Restriction) to redeem the Partnership Units from such Redeeming Party (the “Redemption Obligation”).

(B) Upon receipt of a Redemption Notice from a Redeeming Party, the General Partner shall either (i) cause the Partnership to redeem the Partnership Units tendered in the Redemption Notice, (ii) assume the Redemption Obligation, as set forth in Section 9.4 hereof, or (iii) provide written Notice to the Redeeming Party of each applicable Redemption Restriction.

Upon any Class C Redemption, an amount equal to the product of the Class C Redemption Price and the number of Class C Units redeemed by the Partnership shall be distributed by the Partnership to the Class C Limited Partner.

(D) The Partnership may redeem all or such other number of Class F Units (any such redemption, a “Class F Redemption”) on any applicable date of redemption of any Class F Preferred Shares, at a cash redemption price per Class F Unit equal to that portion of the Capital Contribution of the Class F Limited Partner allocable to each such unit, plus all accumulated and unpaid Class F Priority Return Amounts to the date of Class F Redemption (such price, the “Class F Redemption Price”). Upon any Class F Redemption, an amount equal to the product of the Class F Redemption Price and the number of Class F Units redeemed by the Partnership shall be distributed by the Partnership to the Class F Limited Partner.

Upon any Class I Redemption, an amount equal to the product of the Class I Redemption Price and the number of Class I Units redeemed by the Partnership shall be distributed by the Partnership to the Class I Limited Partner.

 

30


(G) The Partnership may redeem all or such other number of Class J Units (any such redemption, a “Class J Redemption”) on any applicable date of redemption of any Class J Preferred Shares, at a cash redemption price per Class J Unit equal to that portion of the Capital Contribution of the Class J Limited Partner allocable to each such unit multiplied by the redemption premium then applicable to the Class J Preferred Shares, plus all accumulated and unpaid Class J Priority Return Amounts to the date of Class J Redemption (such price, the “Class J Redemption Price”).

(H) The Partnership may redeem all or such other number of Class K Units (any such redemption, a “Class K Redemption”) on any applicable date of redemption of any Class K Preferred Shares, at a cash redemption price per Class K Unit equal to that portion of the Capital Contribution of the Class K Limited Partner allocable to each such unit multiplied by the redemption premium then applicable to the Class K Preferred Shares, plus all accumulated and unpaid Class K Priority Return Amounts to the date of Class K Redemption (such price, the “Class K Redemption Price”).

Section 9.3 Redemption Price. On or before the Redemption Date, the Partnership (or the General Partner if it elects pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof) shall deliver to the Redeeming Party, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner either (i) a Share Payment or (ii) a Cash Payment. In order to enable the Partnership to effect a redemption by making a Share Payment pursuant to this Section 9.3, the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion may issue to the Partnership the number of REIT Shares required to make such Share Payment in exchange for the issuance to the General Partner of Partnership Units equal in number to the quotient of the number of REIT Shares issued and Conversion Factor.

Section 9.4 Assumption of Redemption Obligation. Upon receipt of a Redemption Notice, the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to assume the Redemption Obligation of the Partnership. In such case, the General Partner shall be substituted for the Partnership for all purposes of this Article IX and, upon acquisition of the Partnership Units tendered by the Redeeming Party pursuant to the Redemption Notice shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units. Such exchange transaction shall be treated for federal income tax purposes by the Partnership, the General Partner and the Redeeming Party as a sale by the Redeeming Party as seller to the General Partner as purchaser.

Section 9.5 Further Assurances; Certain Representations. Each party to this Agreement agrees to execute any documents deemed reasonably necessary by the General Partner to evidence the issuance of any Share Payment to a Redeeming Party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each holder of First Highland Units agrees that, if the General Partner shall elect to satisfy a Redemption Obligation with respect to First Highland Units by making a Share Payment, such Redemption Obligation shall mature on the date which is seven (7) business days after receipt by the Partnership and the General Partner of documents similar to the “Investor Materials” submitted in connection with the sale of the First Highland Properties to the Partnership and any other similar documents reasonably required by, and in form reasonably satisfactory to, the Partnership. Each Limited Partner, by executing this Agreement, shall be deemed to have represented to the General Partner and the Partnership that (i) its acquisition of its Partnership Interest on the date hereof is made as a principal for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of such Partnership Interest and (ii) if it shall receive REIT Shares pursuant to this Article IX other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that its acquisition of such REIT Shares is made as a principal for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of such REIT Shares and agrees that such REIT Shares may bear a legend to the effect that such REIT Shares have not been so registered and may not be sold other than pursuant to such a registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of such Act.

Upon a Class C Redemption by the Partnership, the Class C Limited Partner shall have no further right to receive any Partnership distributions or allocations in respect of the Class C Units so redeemed.

Section 9.8 Redemption upon REIT Share Repurchases by the General Partner. If the General Partner acquires outstanding REIT Shares then the Partnership shall redeem from the General Partner the General Partner’s interest in the Partnership representing such acquired REIT Shares and pay to the General Partner, in cash, an amount equal to the consideration, if any, paid by or for the account of the General Partner for the acquired REIT Shares. The Partnership shall make such cash payment, if any, to the General Partner within three (3) business days after the General Partner notifies the Partnership that the General Partner is committed to acquiring REIT Shares and requests payment under this Section 9.8. Any REIT Shares acquired by the General Partner that are thereafter disposed of by the General Partner (which term shall not include cancellation) shall for the purposes of Section 4.2(B) and (C), be deemed issued at the time of such disposition.

ARTICLE X. DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

Section 10.1 Term and Dissolution. The Partnership commenced as of November 23, 1993, and shall continue until December 31, 2092, at which time the Partnership shall dissolve or until dissolution occurs prior to that date for any one of the following reasons:

(A) An Involuntary Withdrawal or a voluntary withdrawal, even though in violation of this Agreement, of the General Partner, or any other event causing the General Partner to cease to be a general partner of the Partnership, unless, (a) at the time of the occurrence of such event there is at least one remaining general partner of the Partnership who is hereby authorized to and does carry on the business of the Partnership, or (b) within ninety (90) days after such event of withdrawal all the remaining Partners agree in writing to the continuation of the Partnership and to the appointment of a Successor General Partner;

(B) Entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership under the Act; or

(C) The sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Partnership Assets.

Section 10.2 Liquidation of Partnership Assets.

(A) Subject to Section 10.2(E), in the event of dissolution pursuant to Section 10.1, the Partnership shall continue solely for purposes of winding up the affairs of, achieving a final termination of, and satisfaction of the creditors of, the Partnership. The General Partner (or, if there is no General Partner remaining, any Person elected by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for

 

32


oversight of the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership. The Liquidator shall obtain a full accounting of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership and such Partnership Assets shall be liquidated (including, at the discretion of the Liquidator, in exchange, in whole or in part, for REIT Shares) as promptly as the Liquidator is able to do so without any undue loss in value, with the proceeds therefrom applied and distributed in the following order:

(1) First, to the discharge of Partnership debts and liabilities to creditors other than Partners;

(2) Second, to the discharge of Partnership debts and liabilities to the Partners;

(3) Third, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all periods, to (i) the Class C Limited Partner in an amount equal to any unpaid Class C Priority Return Amounts, (ii) the Class F Limited Partner in an amount equal to any unpaid Class F Priority Return Amounts, (iii) the Class G Limited Partner in an amount equal to any unpaid Class G Priority Return Amounts, (iv) the Class I Limited Partner in an amount equal to any unpaid Class I Return Amounts, (v) the Class J Limited Partner in an amount equal to any unpaid Class J Return Amounts and (vi) the Class K Limited Partner in an amount equal to any unpaid Class K Return Amounts; provided that if the proceeds are inadequate to pay all of the unpaid Class C Priority Return Amounts, the unpaid Class F Priority Return Amounts, the unpaid Class G Priority Return Amounts, the unpaid Class I Priority Return Amounts, the unpaid Class J Priority Return Amounts and the unpaid Class K Priority Return Amounts, such proceeds shall be distributed to the Class C Limited Partner, the Class F Limited Partner, the Class G Limited Partner, the Class I Limited Partner, the Class J Limited Partner and the Class K Limited Partner pro rata based on the unpaid Class C Priority Return Amounts, the unpaid Class F Priority Return Amounts, the unpaid Class G Priority Return Amounts, the unpaid Class I Priority Return Amounts, the unpaid Class J Priority Return Amounts and the unpaid Class K Priority Return Amounts;

(4) The balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with their positive Capital Accounts after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.

(B) In accordance with Section 10.2(A), the Liquidator shall proceed without any unnecessary delay to sell and otherwise liquidate the Partnership Assets; provided, however, that if the Liquidator shall determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership Assets would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may defer the liquidation except (i) to the extent provided by the Act or (ii) as may be necessary to satisfy the debts and liabilities of the Partnership to Persons other than the Partners.

(C) If, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Liquidator, there are Partnership Assets that the Liquidator will not be able to liquidate, or if the liquidation of such assets would result in undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may distribute such Partnership Assets to the Partners in-kind, in lieu of cash, as tenants-in-common in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(A). The foregoing notwithstanding, such in-kind distributions shall only be made if in the Liquidator’s good faith judgment that is in the best interest of the Partners.

(D) Upon the complete liquidation and distribution of the Partnership Assets, the Partners shall cease to be Partners of the Partnership, and the Liquidator shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed all certificates and notices required by law to terminate the Partnership. Upon the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 10.1, the Liquidator shall cause to be prepared, and shall furnish to each Partner, a statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Partnership. Promptly following the complete liquidation and distribution of the Partnership Assets, the Liquidator shall furnish to each Partner a statement showing the manner in which the Partnership Assets were liquidated and distributed.

(E) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, in the event that the Partnership shall dissolve as a result of the expiration of the term provided for herein or as a result of the occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 10.1(B) or (C), then each Limited Partner shall be deemed to have delivered a Redemption Notice on the date of such dissolution. In connection with each such Redemption Notice, the General Partner shall have the option of either (i) complying with the redemption procedures contained in Article IX or (ii) at the request of any Limited Partner, delivering to such Limited Partner, Partnership property approximately equal in value to the value of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units upon the assumption by such Limited Partner of such Limited Partner’s proportionate share of the Partnership’s liabilities and payment by such

 

33


Limited Partner (or the Partnership) of any excess (or deficiency) of the value of the property so delivered over the value of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units. In lieu of requiring such Limited Partner to assume its proportionate share of Partnership liabilities, the General Partner may deliver to such Limited Partner unencumbered Partnership property approximately equal in value to the net value of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units.

Section 10.3 Effect of Treasury Regulations.

(A) In the event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions made to Partners pursuant to Section 10.2(A) shall be made within the time period provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). If any Contributor Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions (without regard to this Section 10.3(A)), distributions and allocations), each such Contributor Partner shall contribute to the capital of the Partnership an amount equal to its respective deficit balance, such obligation to be satisfied within ninety (90) days following the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Article X hereof. Conversely, if any Partner other than a Contributor Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions (without regard to this Section 10.3(A)), distributions and allocations), such Partner shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership. Any deficit restoration obligation pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be for the benefit of creditors of the Partnership or any other Person to whom any debts, liabilities, or obligations are owed by (or who otherwise has any claim against) the Partnership or the general partner, in its capacity as General Partner of the Partnership. For purposes of computing each Contributor Partner’s deficit balance in its Capital Account and its corresponding obligations to contribute additional capital to the Partnership, only items of income, gain and loss actually recognized shall be reflected.

(B) In the event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but there has been no dissolution of the Partnership under Section 10.1 hereof, then the Partnership Assets shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. In the event of such a liquidation there shall be deemed to have been a distribution of Partnership Assets in kind to the Partners in accordance with Section 10.2 followed by a recontribution of such Partnership Assets by the Partners in the same proportions.

Section 10.4 Time for Winding-Up. Anything in this Article X notwithstanding, a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of the Partnership Assets in order to minimize any potential for losses as a result of such process. During the period of winding-up, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall govern the rights and relationships of the Partners inter se.

ARTICLE XI. AMENDMENTS AND MEETINGS

Section 11.1 Amendment Procedure.

(A) Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the General Partner. An amendment proposed at any time when the General Partner holds less than 90% of all Partnership Units will be adopted and effective only if it receives the Consent of the holders of a majority of the Partnership Units not then held by the General Partner and an amendment proposed at any time when the General Partner holds 90% or more of all Partnership Units may be made by the General Partner without the Consent of any Limited Partner; provided, however, no amendment shall be adopted if it would (i) convert a Limited Partner’s Interest in the Partnership into a general partner interest, (ii) increase the liability of a Limited Partner under this Agreement, (iii) except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, alter the Partner’s rights to distributions set forth in Article V, or the allocations set forth in Article V, (iv) alter or modify any aspect of the Partners’ rights with respect to redemption of Partnership Units, (v) cause the early termination of the Partnership (other than pursuant to the terms hereof) or (vi) amend this Section 11.1(A), in each case without the Consent of each Partner adversely affected thereby. In connection with any proposed amendment of this Agreement requiring Consent, the General Partner shall either call a meeting to solicit the vote of the Partners or seek the written vote of the Partners to such amendment. In the case of a request for a written vote, the General Partner shall be authorized to impose such reasonable time limitations for response, but in no event less than ten (10) days, with the failure to respond being deemed a vote consistent with the vote of the General Partner.

 

34


(B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments may be made to this Agreement by the General Partner, without the Consent of any Limited Partner, to (i) add to the representations, duties or obligations of the General Partner or surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner herein; (ii) cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder which will not be inconsistent with any other provision hereof; (iii) reflect the admission, substitution, termination or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement; or (iv) satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a federal or state agency or contained in federal or state law. The General Partner shall reasonably promptly notify the Limited Partners whenever it exercises its authority pursuant to this Section 11.1(B).

(C) Within ten (10) days of the making of any proposal to amend this Agreement for which the Consent of any Limited Partner is required, the General Partner shall give all Limited Partners Notice of such proposal (along with the text of the proposed amendment and a statement of its purposes). Within ten (10) days following the effectiveness of any amendment to this Agreement, the General Partner shall give all Limited Partners Notice of such amendment (along with the text of such amendment) which may be comprised of a copy of any publicly filed report of the General Partner under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that describes and contains (including as an exhibit) the text of such amendment.

Section 11.2 Meetings and Voting.

(A) Meetings of Partners may be called by the General Partner. The General Partner shall give all Partners Notice of the purpose of such proposed meeting not less than seven (7) days nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the meeting. Meetings shall be held at a reasonable time and place selected by the General Partner. Whenever the vote or Consent of Partners is permitted or required hereunder, such vote or Consent shall be requested by the General Partner and may be given by the Partners in the same manner as set forth for a vote with respect to an amendment to this Agreement in Section 11.1(A).

(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 to be taken is signed by the Partners owning Percentage Interests required to vote in favor of such action, which consent may be evidenced in one or more instruments. Consents need not be solicited from any other Partner if the written consent of a sufficient number of Partners has been obtained to take the action for which such solicitation was required.

(C) Each Limited Partner may authorize any Person or Persons, including without limitation the General Partner, to act for him by proxy on all matters on which a Limited Partner may participate. Every proxy (i) must be signed by the Limited Partner or his attorney-in-fact, (ii) shall expire eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless the proxy provides otherwise and (iii) shall be revocable at the discretion of the Limited Partner granting such proxy.

Section 11.3 Voting of LB Units. On any matter on which the Limited Partners shall be entitled to vote, consent or grant an approval or waiver, following the admissions of the LB Partners to the Partnership as Additional Limited Partners and through the Voting Termination Date, each holder of the LB Units shall be deemed (i) in connection with any matter submitted to a vote, to have cast all votes attributable to such holder’s LB Units in the same manner as the votes attributable to the Units held by the General Partner are cast on such matter, and (ii) in connection with any consent, approval or waiver, to have taken the same action as the General Partner shall have taken with respect to its Units in connection therewith. If the General Partner shall not have the right to vote, consent or grant an approval or waiver on a matter, each holder of LB Units shall vote or act as directed by the General Partner.

ARTICLE XII. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 12.1 Title to Property. All property owned by the Partnership, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually, shall have any ownership of such property. The Partnership may hold any of its assets in its own name or, in the name of its nominee, which nominee may be one or more individuals, corporations, partnerships, trusts or other entities.
