ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On June 6, 2007, IWG 9. Objektgesellschaft B.V. (“IWG 9”), IWG 10. Objektgesellschaft B.V. (“IWG 10”), and IWG 11. Objektgesellschaft B.V. (“IWG 11”), each a private company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of The Kingdom of The Netherlands, and each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Archstone-Smith Operating Trust (in which Archstone-Smith owns approximately 89.0% of the outstanding common interests and of which it is the sole trustee), as borrowers, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with EuroHypo Aktiengesellschaft, as original lender and original hedge counterparty. DeWAG Holdings S.à r.l., as the sole shareholder of IWG 9 and IWG 10, and DeWAG LT Holdings S.à r.l., as the sole shareholder of IWG 11, each a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg and each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Archstone-Smith Operating Trust, have executed the Credit Agreement to guaranty the obligations of the borrowers. The Credit Agreement provides for a €550 million line of credit for the borrowers to use to purchase real properties in Germany. The loan has a term of seven years and bears interest at EURIBOR plus 62 basis points. On each interest payment date, the borrowers must procure that the loan to value of all properties in the aggregate does not exceed 75% and that the collateral property pool generates income providing at least 110% interest coverage. The loan will be secured by pledges of the shares of each borrower as well as pledges of certain bank accounts of the borrowers and land charges against any property acquired with proceeds of the loan. The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which will be filed with our next quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
