AMENDED AND RESTATED

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), made between Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (the “Company”) and Dean Shigenaga (“Employee”), amends and restates in its entirety the original Executive Employment Agreement between the Company and Employee effective as of January 1, 2007 (the “2007 Agreement”).  This Agreement is effective retroactive to January 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Employee is employed by the Company as its Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), having initially been party to an offer letter agreement dated December 5, 2000 (the “Offer Letter”); and

WHEREAS, the Offer Letter was replaced by the 2007 Agreement effective January 1, 2007, pursuant to which Employee was employed as a Senior Vice President and the CFO; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ Employee as a Senior Vice President and the CFO, and Employee is willing to continue such employment by the Company, on the amended and restated terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.   POSITION; DUTIES; LOCATION.

Employee agrees to continue to be employed by and to continue to serve the Company as a Senior Vice President and the CFO, and the Company agrees to employ and retain Employee in such capacity.  In addition, Employee agrees to serve in such capacities for the Company’s subsidiaries, and in such additional capacities consistent with Employee’s current position as a senior executive of the Company, as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).  Employee shall devote such of his business time, energy, and skill to the affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries as shall be necessary to perform the duties of such positions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to any written policies of the Company, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Employee from: (i) engaging in charitable and community affairs and not-for-profit activities, so long as they are consistent with his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement; (ii) managing his personal investments; (iii) serving on the boards of directors of non-profit companies; and (iv) serving on the boards of directors of other for-profit companies; provided, however, that, prior to accepting a position on any such for-profit board of directors, Employee shall obtain the approval of the Board (or, if applicable, the appropriate committee thereof), which shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, however, that Employee shall submit to the Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) a list of

B-1

any for-profit boards of directors on which Employee is serving as of the Effective Date of this Agreement or thereafter.  Employee shall continue to report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  Employee shall be based in Los Angeles, except for required travel on the Company’s business.

SECTION 2.   COMPENSATION AND OTHER BENEFITS.

In consideration of Employee’s employment, and except as otherwise provided herein, Employee shall receive from the Company the compensation and benefits described in this Section 2.  Employee authorizes the Company to deduct and withhold from all compensation to be paid to Employee any and all sums required to be deducted or withheld by the Company pursuant to the provisions of any federal, state, or local law, regulation, ruling, or ordinance, including, but not limited to, income tax withholding and payroll taxes.

2.1       Base Salary.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, as of January 1, 2008, the Company agrees to pay Employee a base salary at the rate of $290,000 per year, less standard payroll deductions and withholdings, payable on the Company’s regular payroll schedule (the “Base Salary”).  Employee’s Base Salary shall be reviewed no less frequently than on each anniversary of the Effective Date by the Board (or such committee as may be appointed by the Board for such purpose).  The Base Salary payable to Employee shall be increased on each such anniversary date (and such other times as the Board or a committee of the Board may deem appropriate) to an amount determined by the Board (or a committee of the Board).  Each such new Base Salary shall become the base for each successive annual increase; provided, however, that such increase, at a minimum, shall be equal to the cumulative cost-of-living increment as reported in the “Consumer Price Index, Los Angeles, California, All Items,” published by the U.S. Department of Labor (using January 1, 2007 as the base date for comparison).  Any increase in Base Salary or other compensation shall in no way limit or reduce any other obligations of the Company hereunder and, once established at an increased specified rate, Employee’s Base Salary shall not be reduced unless Employee otherwise agrees in writing.

2.2       Bonus.  Employee shall be eligible to receive a bonus for each fiscal year of the Company in an amount to be determined in the sole discretion of the Board (or a committee of the Board) based upon its evaluation of Employee’s performance and the performance of the Company during such year and such other factors and conditions as the Board (or a committee of the Board) deems relevant.  Any such bonus shall be payable within 185 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year to which such bonus relates (the “Bonus Year”); provided that, in the event that Employee terminates employment with the Company for any reason other than a termination by the Company for Cause, after the end of the Bonus Year and prior to the date when such bonuses are paid by the Company to senior executives, then Employee shall receive the same bonus that would have been awarded to Employee in the absence of such termination and it shall be paid to Employee at the same time that bonuses are paid by the Company to other senior executives.

2.3       Restricted Stock; Options.  Employee shall be eligible for equity awards from time to time as shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) in its sole discretion, and subject to such vesting, exercisability,

B-2

and other provisions as the Compensation Committee may determine in its discretion, after reviewing the performance of both Employee and the Company.  Any new equity awards, and any equity awards that Employee has already been granted by the Company prior to the Execution Date of this Agreement (as defined herein), shall be governed in all respects by the terms of the applicable stock option or restricted stock agreements, grant notice and plan documents.  This Agreement does not alter or affect any equity awards granted to Employee by the Company prior to the Execution Date of this Agreement (whether in the form of stock options or shares of restricted stock), except as specifically provided in Sections 3.4(b), 3.5 and 3.7(b) hereof.

2.4       Vacation.  Employee shall be entitled to accrue and use paid vacation in accordance with the terms of the Company’s vacation policy and practices.

2.5       Other Benefits.  Employee shall be eligible to participate in such of the Company’s benefit and deferred compensation plans as may be made available to executive officers of the Company, including, without limitation, the Company’s stock incentive plans, annual incentive compensation plans, profit sharing/pension plans, deferred compensation plans, annual physical examinations, dental plans, vision plans, sick pay, medical plans, personal catastrophe and accidental death insurance plans, financial planning, automobile arrangements, retirement plans and supplementary executive retirement plans, if any.  For purposes of establishing the length of service under any benefit plans or programs of the Company, Employee’s employment with the Company shall be deemed to have commenced on December 27, 2000.

2.6       Reimbursement for Expenses.  The Company shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses (including, but not limited to, business entertainment expenses) incurred by Employee for the purpose of and in connection with the performance of his services pursuant to this Agreement.  Employee shall be entitled to such reimbursement upon the presentation by Employee to the Company of vouchers or other statements itemizing such expenses in reasonable detail consistent with the Company’s policies.  In addition, Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement for: (i) dues and membership fees in professional organizations and industry associations in which Employee is currently a member or becomes a member; and (ii) appropriate industry seminars and mandatory continuing education.  The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement pursuant to this Section 2.6 during a calendar year shall not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year.  Without extending the time of payment that would apply in the absence of this sentence, the Company shall reimburse Employee for any expense eligible for reimbursement pursuant to this Section 2.6 on or before the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred.  The Company shall pay Employee for all reasonable attorney’s fees, disbursements and costs incurred by Employee in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement, within 15 days following presentation of invoices which have been paid.

SECTION 3.   TERMINATION; SEVERANCE.

3.1       Termination.  Employee is employed at-will, meaning that either the

B-3

Company or Employee may terminate Employee’s employment at any time, with or without Cause, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

3.2       Compensation and Benefits Upon Termination. Upon the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, the Company shall pay Employee all of Employee’s accrued and unused vacation and unpaid Base Salary earned through Employee’s last day of employment (the “Separation Date”).

3.3       Termination For Cause.  The Company shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement for Cause (as defined herein) immediately upon written notice to Employee, which notice shall specify the reason for and the effective date of such termination.  In that event, the Company shall pay Employee the compensation set forth in Section 3.2 of this Agreement, and Employee shall not be entitled to any further compensation from the Company, including severance benefits.

3.4       Termination Without Cause.  The Company shall be entitled to terminate Employee’s employment without Cause (as defined herein) immediately upon written notice to Employee.  In that event, Employee shall receive the following severance benefits:

(a)        Salary Continuation.  The Company shall pay Employee severance in an amount equal to one (1) year of Base Salary, less standard payroll deductions and withholdings, and paid in accordance with Section 3.9.  The Company’s obligation to provide, or continue to provide, such severance payments will cease immediately and in full in the event that Employee materially breaches any of his continuing obligations to the Company (including, but not limited to, any continuing obligations under this Agreement or the Proprietary Information Agreement (as defined in Section 4)).

(b)        Accelerated Vesting.  The Company shall accelerate the vesting of any equity awards previously granted to Employee by the Company (whether in the form of stock options or shares of restricted stock) such that the shares that would have vested in the one (1) year period following the Separation Date, had Employee’s employment not been terminated, shall be deemed vested as of the Separation Date; provided, however, that if Employee’s employment is terminated without Cause following a Change in Control (as defined herein), the Company shall accelerate the vesting of any equity awards previously granted to Employee by the Company such that all of the unvested shares shall be deemed vested as of the Separation Date.

(c)        Bonus.  The Company shall pay Employee a bonus for the year in which the Separation Date occurs in the amount that Employee earned for the previous year, if any.

(d)        Restricted Stock Grants.  The Company shall grant to Employee, fully vested, the pro rata amount of:  (1) any annual performance-based grants of restricted stock that may have been determined by the Compensation Committee for the Company’s fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the Separation Date occurs but which have not yet been made to Employee as of the Separation Date; or (2) in the event that such annual performance-based

B-4

grants have not yet been determined for the Company’s fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the Separation Date occurs, the average of the amounts of any such grants that Employee received during the preceding two fiscal years.  In either event, the proration shall be based on the number of months of completed service during the fiscal year of termination divided by twelve (12).

3.5       Termination Upon Death or Disability.  The Agreement shall terminate immediately upon Employee’s death or Disability (as defined herein).  In that event, the Company shall provide Employee with the compensation set forth in Section 3.2 of this Agreement, as well as the severance benefits set forth in Sections 3.4(a) and (b); provided that the full acceleration of vesting provided for a termination without Cause following a Change in Control shall not apply in the event of a termination for death or Disability.

3.6       Resignation.  Employee shall be entitled to resign at any time upon written notice to the Company thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such resignation, which shall be specified in Employee’s notice of resignation.  Unless Employee’s resignation is for Good Reason following a Change in Control, upon Employee’s resignation, the Company shall pay Employee the compensation set forth in Section 3.2 of this Agreement, and Employee shall not be entitled to any further compensation from the Company, including severance benefits.

3.7       Resignation For Good Reason Following A Change In Control.  Employee shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason following a Change in Control.  In that event, Employee shall receive the following severance benefits:

(a)        Salary Continuation.  The Company shall pay Employee severance in an amount equal to one (1) year of Base Salary, less standard payroll deductions and withholdings, and paid in accordance with Section 3.9.  The Company’s obligation to provide, or continue to provide, such severance payments will cease immediately and in full in the event that Employee materially breaches any of his continuing obligations to the Company (including, but not limited to, any continuing obligations under this Agreement or the Proprietary Information Agreement).

(b)        Accelerated Vesting.  The Company shall accelerate the vesting of any equity awards previously granted to Employee by the Company (whether in the form of stock options or shares of restricted stock) such that all of the unvested shares shall be deemed vested as of the Separation Date.

(c)        Bonus.  The Company shall pay Employee a bonus for the year in which the Separation Date occurs in the amount that Employee earned for the previous year, if any.

(d)        Restricted Stock Grants.  The Company shall grant to Employee, fully vested, the pro rata amount of:  (1) any annual performance-based grants of restricted stock that may have been determined by the Compensation Committee for the Company’s fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the Separation Date occurs but which have not yet been made to

B-5

Employee as of the Separation Date; or (2) in the event that such annual performance-based grants have not yet been determined for the Company’s fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the Separation Date occurs, the average of the amounts of any such grants that Employee received during the preceding two fiscal years.  In either event, the proration shall be based on the number of months of completed service during the fiscal year of termination divided by twelve (12).

3.8       Release.  As a condition to receipt of any severance benefits under this Agreement, Employee shall be required to provide the Company with an effective general release of any and all known and unknown claims against the Company and other specifically identified released parties, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) within the applicable time period set forth in the specific form of Release provided to Employee by the Company, but in no event more than sixty (60) days following the Separation Date.

3.9       Payment of Severance Benefits; Section 409A.  In the event that Employee is entitled to any severance benefits pursuant to Section 3.4, 3.5 or 3.7 of this Agreement (other than any accelerated vesting under Section 3.4(b), 3.5 or 3.7(b)), such severance benefits shall be payable as follows: (1) any payment of Base Salary pursuant to Section 3.4(a), 3.5, or 3.7(a) shall be made in the form of substantially equal installments for a period of one (1) year following the Separation Date, provided that any payments delayed pending the effectiveness of the Release shall be paid in arrears no later than ten (10) days after such effective date; (2) any payment of bonus pursuant to Section 3.4(c) or 3.7(c) shall be made in the form of a lump sum within ten (10) days following the effective date of the Release; and (3) any restricted stock grants pursuant to Section 3.4(d) or 3.7(d) shall be made in full within thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Release; the parties being in agreement that none of the foregoing is “deferred compensation” under Section 409A (as defined below), except for amounts under the foregoing clause (1) that are payable and paid more than two and one-half (2 ½) months following the end of the calendar year in which Employee’s Separation from Service (as defined below) occurs; provided, however, that:

(a)        payment of such amounts and any other amounts or benefits provided under this Agreement in connection with Employee’s termination of employment that constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”) shall not commence in connection with Employee’s termination of employment unless and until Employee has also incurred a “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h) (“Separation From Service”)), unless the Company reasonably determines that such amounts and benefits may be provided to Employee without causing Employee to incur the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A; and

(b)        it is intended that (i) each installment of any amounts or benefits payable under this Agreement be regarded as a separate “payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i) (and each such installment is hereby designated as separate for such purpose), and (ii) all payments of any such amounts or benefits satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A provided under

B-6

Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii).  However, if any such amounts or benefits constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and Employee is a “specified employee” of the Company, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of such benefit payments shall be delayed as follows, provided that the Release has become effective in accordance with its terms: on the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after Employee’s Separation From Service and (b) the date of Employee’s death (such applicable date, the “Delayed Initial Payment Date”), the Company shall (1) pay Employee a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the benefit payments that Employee would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the benefits had not been delayed pursuant to this Section 3.9(b) and (2) commence paying the balance, if any, of the benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedule.

3.10                    Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:

(a)                              Disability.  The term “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental disability that renders Employee unable to perform one or more of the essential functions of his job, as determined by the Board, for a period of 180 days during any 365 day period.

(b)                              Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (1) Employee’s conviction of any felony involving moral turpitude, fraud or dishonesty; (2) Employee’s persistent unsatisfactory performance of job duties; or (3) Employee’s material violation or breach of any Company policy or statutory, fiduciary, or contractual duty to the Company, provided that the Company shall provide notice to Employee describing the nature of such Cause and Employee shall thereafter have fifteen (15) days to cure.  In order to terminate this Agreement for Cause, the Company must provide written notice to Employee of the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing circumstances within ninety (90) days following the initial occurrence of the circumstance; provided, however, that if the circumstance is part of an ongoing or series of actions or behavior that the Company considers to be Cause, the Company shall be entitled to provide such written notice to Employee within ninety (90) days following any occurrence of such action or behavior.

(c)                               Good Reason Following A Change In Control.  Following a Change in Control, “Good Reason” shall mean, without Employee’s express written consent, the occurrence of any of the following circumstances: (1) the assignment to Employee of any duties materially inconsistent with the position in the Company that Employee held immediately prior to the Change in Control, or a materially adverse alteration in the nature or status of Employee’s responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; (2) a material reduction by the Company in Employee’s Base Salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time; (3) the relocation of Employee’s offices to a location outside the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area (or, if different, the metropolitan area in which such offices are located immediately prior to the Change in Control), or requiring Employee to travel on Company business to an extent materially greater than Employee’s business travel obligations immediately prior to the Change in Control; (4) the failure by the Company to pay

B-7

Employee any material portion of his current compensation except pursuant to an across-the-board compensation deferral similarly affecting all the employees of the Company and all the employees of any entity whose actions resulted in a Change in Control, or to pay Employee any material portion of an installment of deferred compensation under any deferred compensation program of the Company, in each case within seven (7) days of the date such compensation is due; (5) the failure by the Company to continue in effect any compensation plan in which Employee participates immediately prior to the Change in Control which is material to Employee’s total compensation, unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been made with respect to such plan, or the failure by the Company to continue Employee’s participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on a basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level of participation relative to other participants, as existed at the time of the Change in Control; (6) a material reduction in the benefits provided to Employee under any of the Company’s directors and officers liability insurance, life insurance, medical, health and accident, or disability plans in which Employee was participating at the time of the Change in Control, or the failure by the Company to provide Employee with substantially the same number of paid vacation days to which he is entitled in accordance with the Company’s normal vacation policy in effect at the time of the Change in Control; or (7) the failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform this Agreement.  In order to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason, Employee must provide written notice to the Company of the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing circumstances within ninety (90) days following the initial occurrence of the circumstance; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide any benefits under Section 3.7 if it is able to remedy and does remedy such circumstance within a period of thirty (30) days following such notice.

(d)                              Change in Control.  A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(i)                                  any Person (as such term is used in section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time (the “Exchange Act”), as modified and used in sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, except that such term shall not include (A) the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (B) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its affiliates, (C) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (D) a Company owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company) becomes the Beneficial Owner, as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates other than in connection with the acquisition by the Company or its affiliates of a business) representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

B-8

solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors on the date hereof or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended; or

(iii)                          there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other Company, other than (A) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates other than in connection with the acquisition by the Company or its affiliates of a business) representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

(iv)                          the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, at least seventy-five (75%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale.

3.11                    No Offset.  Employee shall not be required to mitigate damages under this Agreement by seeking other comparable employment or otherwise, nor shall Employee’s entitlement to any severance benefit hereunder be offset by any earned income Employee may receive from employment or consulting with a third party after his employment with the Company.

SECTION 4.          PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 8.  ARBITRATION.

To ensure the timely and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, negotiation, execution, or interpretation of this Agreement, Employee’s employment, or the termination of Employee’s employment, including but not limited to statutory claims, shall be resolved to the fullest extent permitted by law by final, binding and confidential arbitration, by a single arbitrator, in Los Angeles, California, conducted by JAMS under the then applicable JAMS rules. By agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both Employee and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or administrative proceeding.  The arbitrator shall:  (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written arbitration decision, to include the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award.  The arbitrator shall be authorized to award any or all remedies that Employee or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law.  The Company shall pay all JAMS’ arbitration fees in excess of the amount of court fees that would be required if the dispute were decided in a court of law.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Employee or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration.
