Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Prologis, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) expects that it will close the issuance and sale of the Notes (defined below) on November 3, 2022. The information under Item 8.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 27, the Operating Partnership priced an offering of C$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.250% Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). In connection with the offering, the Operating Partnership entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated October 27, 2022 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with Scotia Capital Inc. and TD Securities Inc., as the underwriters (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Operating Partnership agreed to sell and the Underwriters agreed to purchase the Notes, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Notes are being issued under an indenture, dated as of June 8, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), among Prologis, Inc. (the “Parent”), the Operating Partnership and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by the fifth supplemental indenture, dated as of August 15, 2013 and the ninth supplemental indenture, dated as of November 3, 2022 (the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the fifth supplemental indenture and ninth supplemental indenture, the “Indenture”).
The net proceeds to the Operating Partnership from the sale of the Notes, after the Underwriter’s discount and offering expenses, are estimated to be approximately C$497.9 million. The Operating Partnership intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including to repay or repurchase other indebtedness or manage other capital needs. In the short term, the Operating Partnership may use the net proceeds to repay borrowings under its global line of credit.
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.250% per annum and mature on January 15, 2031. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership.
At any time prior to October 15, 2030 (the “Par Call Date”), the Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Operating Partnership, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) and principal on the Notes to be redeemed from the redemption date to the Par Call Date using as a discount rate the sum of the Government of Canada Yield Rate plus 51 basis points. In addition, on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Operating Partnership’s option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. In each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid on the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The Indenture governing the Notes restricts, among other things, the Operating Partnership’s and its subsidiaries ability to incur additional indebtedness and to merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of substantially all of its assets.
The Notes are being issued pursuant to the Registration Statement (File No. 333-267431) that the Operating Partnership, the Parent and certain of their wholly-owned subsidiaries filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the public offering from time to time of securities of the Operating Partnership, the Parent and certain of their wholly-owned subsidiaries pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with filing with the SEC a definitive prospectus supplement, dated October 27, 2022, and base prospectus, dated September 15, 2022, relating to the public offering of the Notes, the Operating Partnership is filing the Underwriting Agreement, the ninth supplemental indenture, the form of the Notes and certain other exhibits with this Current Report on Form 8-K as exhibits to such Registration Statement. See “Item 9.01 – Financial Statements and Exhibits.”
This Current Report does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Introductory. Prologis, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Issuer”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule A hereto (the “Underwriters,” which term shall also include any underwriter substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 10 hereof), acting severally and not jointly, the respective amounts set forth in Schedule A hereto of C$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s 5.250% Notes due 2031 (the “Securities”). Scotia Capital Inc. and TD Securities Inc. have agreed to act as representatives of the several Underwriters (in such capacity, the “Representatives”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities.
The Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 8, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuer, Prologis, Inc., a Maryland corporation and the parent company of the Issuer (“Prologis”), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the fifth supplemental indenture, dated as of August 15, 2013 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”), as supplemented by the ninth supplemental indenture, dated as of November 3, 2022 (the “Ninth Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of debt securities in one or more series. The Securities will be issued in book-entry form and registered in the name of CDS & Co., as nominee of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (the “CDS”).
Prologis and the Issuer have prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-267431), including any amendments thereto, which contains a base prospectus, dated September 15, 2022 (the “Base Prospectus”), to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of debt securities and guarantees, including the Securities, debt securities of the Issuer, Prologis Euro Finance LLC, Prologis Sterling Finance LLC and Prologis Yen Finance LLC and other securities of Prologis under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Such registration statement, as amended, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, in the form in which it became effective under the Securities Act, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, and any required information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act is called the “Registration Statement.” The term “Prospectus” shall mean the final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities, together with the Base Prospectus, that is first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) after the date and time that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto. The term “Preliminary Prospectus” shall mean the most recent preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Securities, together with the Base Prospectus, that is distributed to investors prior to the Initial Sale Time (as defined below) and filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b).

All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, shall include any copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”).

References to “Canadian Securities Laws” shall mean all applicable securities laws in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, and the respective regulations and rules under such laws together with applicable published rules, policy statements, blanket rulings and orders, instruments, rulings and notices of the regulatory authorities in such provinces or territories. The Issuer has prepared a preliminary Canadian offering memorandum dated October 27, 2022 relating to the Securities (the “Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum”), and the Issuer agrees to prepare a Canadian offering memorandum dated October 27, 2022 relating to the Securities (the “Canadian Offering Memorandum”).
All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “disclosed,” “contained,” “included” or “stated” (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus, Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or Canadian Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus, Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or Canadian Offering Memorandum, as the case may be, prior to the Initial Sale Time; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus, Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or Canadian Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus, Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or Canadian Offering Memorandum, as the case may be, after the Initial Sale Time.

The Issuer hereby confirms its agreements with the Underwriters as follows:
Section 1. Representations and Warranties. The Issuer, hereby represents, warrants and covenants to each Underwriter as of the date hereof, as of the Initial Sale Time and as of the Closing Date (in each case, a “Representation Date”), as follows:
(a) Compliance with Registration Requirements. Prologis and the Issuer meet the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, are contemplated or threatened by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional or supplemental information has been complied with. In addition, the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).
At the respective times the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto (including the filing of Prologis’ and the Issuer’s most recent jointly-filed Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Commission (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”)) became effective and at each Representation Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto (i) complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Securities Act Regulations”) and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and (ii) did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or contain a “misrepresentation” as defined under applicable Canadian Securities Laws. At the date of the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum and at the Closing Date (and with regards to the Preliminary Prospectus and the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum, as of their respective dates), neither the Preliminary Prospectus, the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum, the Prospectus nor the Canadian Offering Memorandum nor any amendments or supplements thereto included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or contain a “misrepresentation” as defined under applicable Canadian Securities Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which constitutes the Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 of the Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act (the “Form T-1”) and (ii) statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment or the Prospectus, the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or Canadian Offering Memorandum or any amendments or supplements thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Issuer in writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof (the “Underwriter Information”).
Each preliminary prospectus and prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement, as originally filed or as part of any amendment thereto, or filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, complied when so filed in all material respects with the Securities Act Regulations and the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities will, at the time of such delivery, be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
3
(b) Disclosure Package. The term “Disclosure Package” shall mean (i) the Preliminary Prospectus, (ii) the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum, (iii) the issuer free writing prospectuses as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act (each, an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), if any, identified in Annex I hereto and (iv) any other Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package. As of the Initial Sale Time, (i) the Disclosure Package did not, and (ii) each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed in Annex II hereof, taken together with the Disclosure Package, did not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or contain a “misrepresentation” as defined under applicable Canadian Securities Laws. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package based upon and in conformity with any Underwriter Information.
(c) Incorporated Documents. The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or the Canadian Offering Memorandum (i) at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Exchange Act Regulations”) and (ii) when read together with the other information in the Disclosure Package, at the Initial Sale Time, and when read together with the other information in the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum, at the date of the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum and at the Closing Date, did not and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or contain a “misrepresentation” as defined under applicable Canadian Securities Laws.
(d) Prologis and the Issuer are each a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (iii) at the time the Issuer or any person acting on the Issuer’s behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the Securities Act, and (iv) as of the date hereof (the “Execution Time”), each of Prologis and the Issuer was and is a “well known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, that initially became effective within three years of the Execution Time; neither Prologis nor the Issuer has received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act objecting to use of the automatic shelf registration statement form; and neither Prologis nor the Issuer has otherwise ceased to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration statement form.
4
(e) The Issuer is not an Ineligible Issuer. (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement when a bona fide offer (as used in Rule 164(h)(2) of the Securities Act Regulations) of the Securities is first made by the Issuer or any other offering participant, and (ii) as of the Execution Time, the Issuer was or is not an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act).
(f) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Securities or until any earlier date of which the Issuer notified or notifies the Representatives, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or the Canadian Offering Memorandum, including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with any Underwriter Information.
(g) Distribution of Offering Material by the Issuer. The Issuer has not distributed, and will not distribute, prior to the later of the Closing Date, and the completion of the Underwriters’ distribution of the Securities, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities other than the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum, the Canadian Offering Memorandum and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus reviewed and consented to by the Representatives and identified in Annex I and Annex II hereto.

The Issuer is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. Prologis is the sole general partner of the Issuer and owns the percentage interest in the Issuer as set forth or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum.
(r) Incorporation and Good Standing of Significant Subsidiaries.

All of the issued and outstanding capital stock and other equity interests of each Significant Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and (except for general partnership interests and directors’ qualifying shares) non-assessable; and all shares of outstanding capital stock and other equity interests of each Significant Subsidiary held by the Issuer, directly or through subsidiaries, are owned free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or claim, except for the pledge of such capital stock or other interests to secure borrowings of the Issuer or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries.

None of the Issuer nor any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer is in violation of its charter or by-laws or other similar constitutive documents, except, in the case of subsidiaries of the Issuer, for such violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. None of Prologis, the Issuer nor any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer is in default (or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would be in default) (“Default”) under any indenture, mortgage, loan or credit agreement, note, contract, franchise, lease or other instrument to which Prologis, the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of Prologis, the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer is subject (each, an “Existing Instrument”), except for such Defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. The Issuer’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Indenture, and the respective execution, issuance and delivery of the Securities, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, by the Indenture and by the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action, as the case may be, and will not result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws or other similar constitutive documents of the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer, except, in the case of subsidiaries of the Issuer that are not Significant Subsidiaries, for such violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect the Issuer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture, (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or Default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument, except for such conflicts, breaches, Defaults, liens, charges or encumbrances as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change or materially adversely affect the Issuer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture and (iii) will not result in any violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer, except for such violation as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change or materially adversely affect the Issuer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency, is required for the Issuer’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the Indenture, or the execution, issuance and delivery of the Securities or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and by the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum, except such as have been obtained or made by the Issuer and are in full force and effect under the Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) or the failure of which to obtain would not have a material adverse effect on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture and except as may be required under applicable Canadian Securities Laws in connection with the purchase and resale of the Securities and the filing of a report of exempt distribution under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (“NI 45-106”) with payment of applicable filing fees to, and if applicable, delivery of the Canadian Offering Memorandum with (as applicable), the securities regulatory authority in each jurisdiction of Canada in which sales of the Securities are made and such delivery is required.
9
(w) No Material Actions or Proceedings. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum, there are no legal or governmental actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of the Issuer’s knowledge, threatened (i) against or affecting the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer, (ii) which has as the subject thereof any officer, director of, or property owned or leased by, the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer or (iii) relating to environmental or discrimination matters, where in any such case (A) there is a reasonable possibility that such action, suit or proceeding might be determined adversely to the Issuer or such subsidiary and (B) any such action, suit or proceeding, if so determined adversely, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change or materially adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture.
(x) Labor Matters. No material labor dispute with the employees of the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer exists or, to the best of the Issuer’s knowledge, is threatened or imminent, except for such disputes as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.
(y) Intellectual Property Rights. The Issuer and the subsidiaries of the Issuer own or possess sufficient trademarks, trade names, patent rights, copyrights, domain names, licenses, approvals, trade secrets and other similar rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”) reasonably necessary to conduct their businesses as now conducted, except as would not result in a Material Adverse Change; and the expected expiration of any of such Intellectual Property Rights would not result in a Material Adverse Change. None of the Issuer nor any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer has received any notice of infringement or conflict with asserted Intellectual Property Rights of others, which infringement or conflict, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, would result in a Material Adverse Change. The Issuer is not a party to or bound by any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights of any other person or entity that are required to be set forth in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or the Canadian Offering Memorandum, and that are not described in all material respects in such documents. None of the technology employed by the Issuer has been obtained or is being used by the Issuer in violation of any contractual obligation binding on the Issuer or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, any of its officers, directors or employees or otherwise in violation of the rights of any persons, except for such violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.
10
(z) All Necessary Permits, etc. The Issuer and each of the subsidiaries of the Issuer possess such valid and current certificates, authorizations, permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except for such certificates, authorizations, permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change, and none of the Issuer nor any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of, or non-compliance with, any such certificate, authorization, permit, license, approval, consent or other authorization which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, could result in a Material Adverse Change.
(aa) Title to Properties. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum, the Issuer and each of the subsidiaries of the Issuer has good and marketable title to all the properties and assets reflected as owned in the financial statements referred to in Section 1(p) above (or elsewhere in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum), in each case free and clear of any security interests, mortgages, liens, encumbrances, equities, claims and other defects, except such as do not materially and adversely affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Issuer or such subsidiary. The real property, improvements, equipment and personal property held under lease by the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer are held under valid and enforceable leases, with such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such real property, improvements, equipment or personal property by the Issuer or the subsidiaries of the Issuer.
(bb) Tax Law Compliance. The Issuer and the subsidiaries of the Issuer have filed all material federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns or have properly requested extensions thereof and have paid all taxes required to be paid by any of them and, if due and payable, any related or similar assessment, fine or penalty levied against any of them except as may be being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings. Each of Prologis and the Issuer has made adequate charges, accruals and reserves in the applicable financial statements referred to in Section 1(p) above in respect of all federal, state and foreign income and franchise taxes for all periods as to which the tax liability of the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer has not been finally determined. With respect to all tax periods in respect of which the Internal Revenue Service is or will be entitled to any claim, Prologis has met the requirements for qualification as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Internal Revenue Code”) and Prologis’ present and contemplated organizational ownership, method of operation, assets and income are such that Prologis will continue to meet such requirements.
11
(cc) The Issuer is not an “Investment Company.” The Issuer is not, and after receipt of payment for the Securities and the application of the proceeds as described in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum under “Use of Proceeds” will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).
(dd) Insurance. The Issuer and the subsidiaries of the Issuer taken as a whole carry or are covered by insurance in such amounts covering such risks as are generally deemed adequate and customary for their businesses. The Issuer has no reason to believe that it or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Change.
(ee) No Price Stabilization or Manipulation. The Issuer has not taken and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Issuer to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.
(ff) Foreign Corrupt Practices. None of Prologis, the Issuer nor any of their respective subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Issuer, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of Prologis, the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of (i) the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA or (ii) the Bribery Act 2010 of the United Kingdom; and Prologis, the Issuer, the subsidiaries of the Issuer and, to the knowledge of the Issuer, their respective affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith.
(gg) Money Laundering. The operations of Prologis, the Issuer and their respective subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements and the money laundering statutes and the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving Prologis, the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Issuer, threatened.
12
(hh) OFAC. Neither Prologis, the Issuer nor any of their respective subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Issuer, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of Prologis, the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer is currently subject to any sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and Prologis and the Issuer will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds, to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.
(ii) Compliance with Environmental Laws. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change, (i) none of the Issuer nor any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer is in violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law or regulation relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata) or wildlife, including without limitation, laws and regulations relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, wastes, toxic substances, hazardous substances, petroleum and petroleum products (collectively, “Materials of Environmental Concern”), or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Materials of Environmental Concern (collectively, “Environmental Laws”), which violation includes, but is not limited to, noncompliance with any permits or other governmental authorizations required for the operation of the business of the Issuer or the subsidiaries of the Issuer under applicable Environmental Laws, or noncompliance with the terms and conditions thereof, nor has any of the Issuer or the subsidiaries of the Issuer received any written communication, whether from a governmental authority, citizens group, employee or otherwise, that alleges that the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer is in violation of any Environmental Law; (ii) there is no claim, action or cause of action filed with a court or governmental authority with respect to which the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer has received written notice, no investigation with respect to which the Issuer has received written notice, and no written notice by any person or entity alleging potential liability for investigatory costs, cleanup costs, governmental responses costs, natural resources damages, property damages, personal injuries, attorneys’ fees or penalties arising out of, based on or resulting from the presence, or release into the environment, of any Material of Environmental Concern at any location owned, leased or operated by the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer, now or in the past (collectively, “Environmental Claims”), pending or, to the best of the Issuer’s knowledge, threatened against the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer or any person or entity whose liability for any Environmental Claim the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer has retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law; and (iii) to the best of the Issuer’s knowledge, there are no past or present actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events or incidents, including, without limitation, the release, emission, discharge, presence or disposal of any Material of Environmental Concern, that reasonably could result in a violation of any Environmental Law or form the basis of a potential Environmental Claim against the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer or against any person or entity whose liability for any Environmental Claim the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer has retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law.
13
(jj) ERISA Compliance. The Issuer and the subsidiaries of the Issuer and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”)) established or maintained by the Issuer and the subsidiaries of the Issuer or their “ERISA Affiliates” (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to any person or any subsidiary of such person, any member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code, of which such person or such subsidiary is a member. No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Issuer and the subsidiaries of the Issuer or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Issuer, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). None of the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan,” (ii) Sections 412, 4971 or 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, or (iii) Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the excise tax imposed thereunder. Each “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which is reasonably likely to cause disqualification of any such employee benefit plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
(kk) Accounting Systems. Prologis, the Issuer and the subsidiaries of the Issuer maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
(ll) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Prologis and the Issuer established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act); such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to Prologis and the Issuer and the subsidiaries of the Issuer is made known to the respective chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Prologis and the Issuer by others within Prologis and the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer, and such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably effective to perform the functions for which they were established subject to the limitations of any such control system; Prologis’ and the Issuer’s auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors of Prologis have been advised of: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the ability of Prologis or the Issuer to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the internal controls of Prologis or the Issuer; and since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could materially affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
14
(mm) Cybersecurity; Data Protection. The Issuer and the subsidiaries of the Issuer’s information technology assets and equipment, computers, systems, networks, hardware, software, websites, applications, and databases (collectively, “IT Systems”) are adequate for, and operate and perform in all material respects as required in connection with the operation of the business of the Issuer and the subsidiaries of the Issuer as currently conducted, free and clear of all material bugs, errors, defects, Trojan horses, time bombs, malware and other corruptants. The Issuer and the subsidiaries of the Issuer have implemented and maintained commercially reasonable controls, policies, procedures, and safeguards to maintain and protect their material confidential information and the integrity, redundancy and security of all IT Systems and data (including all personal, personally identifiable, sensitive, confidential or regulated data (“Personal Data”)) used in connection with their businesses, and there have been no breaches, violations, outages or unauthorized uses of or accesses to same, except for those that have been remedied without material cost or liability, nor any incidents under internal review or investigations relating to the same. The Issuer and the subsidiaries of the Issuer are presently in material compliance with all applicable laws or statutes and all judgments, orders, rules and regulations of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, internal policies and contractual obligations relating to the privacy and security of IT Systems and Personal Data and to the protection of such IT Systems and Personal Data from unauthorized use, access, misappropriation or modification.
(nn) EXtensible Business Reporting Language. The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission's rules and guidelines applicable thereto.
Any certificate signed by any officer of the Issuer or any of the subsidiaries of the Issuer and delivered to the Representatives or to counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Issuer to each Underwriter as to the matters set forth therein on the date of such certificate and, unless subsequently amended or supplemented, at each Representation Date subsequent thereto.
The Issuer acknowledges that the Underwriters and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered pursuant to Section 5 hereof, counsel for the Issuer and the Underwriters will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and hereby consents to such reliance.

(c) Public Offering of the Securities. The Underwriters hereby advise the Issuer that they intend to offer their respective portions of the Securities for sale to the public, as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as soon after this Agreement has been executed as the Underwriters, in their sole judgment, have determined is advisable and practicable (provided that it is understood and agreed that the offering of the Securities in Canada by the Underwriters as contemplated herein shall be made in Canada on a private placement basis in accordance with applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian Securities Laws).
(d) Payment for the Securities. Payment for the Securities as provided herein shall be made at the Closing Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the order of the Issuer. It is understood that the Representatives have been authorized, for their own account and the accounts of the several Underwriters, to accept delivery of and receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Securities the Underwriters have agreed to purchase. Either Scotia Capital Inc. or TD Securities Inc., individually and not as the Representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment for the Securities, if any, to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds shall not have been received by the Representatives by the Closing Date, for the account of such Underwriter, but any such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(e) Delivery of the Securities. The Issuer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Underwriters the Securities at the Closing Date, against the irrevocable release of a wire transfer of immediately available funds for the amount of the purchase price therefor. The Securities shall be in such denominations and registered in such names and denominations as the Representatives shall have requested at least two full business days prior to the Closing Date, and shall be made available for inspection on the business day preceding the Closing Date, at a location in New York City, as the Representatives may designate. Delivery of the Securities shall be made through the facilities of CDS unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a further condition to the obligations of the Underwriters.
16
Section 3. Additional Covenants. The Issuer further covenants and agrees with each Underwriter as follows:
(a) Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests. The Issuer, subject to Section 3(b), will comply with the requirements of Rule 430B of the Securities Act Regulations, and will promptly notify the Representatives, and confirm the notice in writing, of (i) the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or the filing of any supplement or amendment to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, (ii) the receipt of any comments from the Commission during the Prospectus Delivery Period (defined below), (iii) any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or for additional information, (iv) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act and (v) the issuance of any order, ruling or decision of any Canadian federal or provincial court or securities regulatory authority restricting or ceasing trading in any of the securities of the Issuer or suspending or preventing the use of the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or the Canadian Offering Memorandum or the receipt of any notification from any Canadian federal or provincial court or securities regulatory authority of the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Issuer will promptly effect the filings necessary pursuant to Rule 424 and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424 was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such document. The Issuer will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.
(b) Filing of Amendments. During such period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the later of the Closing Date or such date as, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, the Prospectus is no longer required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities by an Underwriter or dealer, including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 or any similar rule of the Securities Act Regulations (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), the Issuer will give the Representatives notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement (including any filing under Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act Regulations), or any amendment, supplement or revision to the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object. Provided that the Underwriters comply with Section 7(2)(h) hereof, the Issuer will cause to be provided or filed all documents required to be provided to or filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities in connection with the offering of Securities in Canada in accordance with applicable Canadian Securities Laws, including, without limitation, any offering memorandum (under applicable Canadian Securities Laws) and any reports of trade on Form 45-106F1 prescribed by NI 45-106, as applicable.
17
(c) Delivery of Registration Statements. The Issuer will deliver to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, as such Underwriter or counsel for the Underwriters may reasonably request, signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts. The Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(d) Delivery of Prospectuses and Offering Memorandums. The Issuer will deliver to each Underwriter, without charge, as many copies of the Preliminary Prospectus and Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum as such Underwriter may reasonably request, and the Issuer hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes of offering the Securities. The Issuer will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, such number of copies of the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum as such Underwriter may reasonably request. The Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

The Issuer will comply with the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations and the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum. If, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, any event or development shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or then prevailing, as the case may be, not misleading, or contain a “misrepresentation” as defined under applicable Canadian Securities Laws, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or for the Issuer, it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum, or to file under the Exchange Act any document incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum, in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or then prevailing, as the case may be, not misleading, or to correct a “misrepresentation” as defined under applicable Canadian Securities Laws contained therein, or, if in the opinion of either such counsel, it is otherwise necessary or advisable to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum, or to file under the Exchange Act any document incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum, or to file a new registration statement containing the Prospectus, in order to comply with law, including in connection with the delivery of the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum, the Issuer agrees to (i) notify the Representatives of any such event or condition and (ii) promptly prepare (subject to Section 3(b) and 3(l) hereof), file with the Commission (and use its best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement to be declared effective) and furnish at its own expense to the Underwriters and to dealers in such quantities as they may reasonably request, amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum, or any new registration statement, necessary in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum as so amended or supplemented, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or then prevailing, as the case may be, not misleading, or to correct a “misrepresentation” as defined under applicable Canadian Securities Laws contained therein, or so that the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, will comply with law.

(f) Blue Sky Compliance. The Issuer shall cooperate with the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters to qualify or register the Securities for sale under (or obtain exemptions from the application of) the state securities or blue sky laws of those jurisdictions designated by the Representatives, shall comply with such laws and shall continue such qualifications, registrations and exemptions in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities. The Issuer shall not be required to qualify to transact business or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign business. The Issuer will advise the Representatives promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Securities for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, the Issuer shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.
(g) Use of Proceeds. The Issuer shall apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities in the manner described under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum.

(k) Final Term Sheet. The Issuer will prepare a final term sheet containing only a description of the Securities, and will file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act within the time required by such rule (such term sheet, the “Final Term Sheet”). Any such Final Term Sheet is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this Agreement. A form of the Final Term Sheet for the Securities is attached hereto as Exhibit D.
(l) Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses. The Issuer represents that it has not made, and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representatives, it will not make, any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) required to be filed by the Issuer with the Commission or retained by the Issuer under Rule 433 of the Securities Act; provided that the prior written consent of the Underwriters shall be deemed to have been given in respect of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses identified in Annex I and Annex II to this Agreement. Any such free writing prospectus consented to or deemed to be consented to by the Underwriters is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Issuer agrees that (i) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and (ii) has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 of the Securities Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping. The Issuer consents to the use by any Underwriter of a free writing prospectus that (a) is not an “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433, and (b) contains only (i) information describing the preliminary terms of the Securities or their offering or (ii) information that describes the final terms of the Securities or their offering and that is included in the Final Term Sheet of the Issuer contemplated in Section 3(k); provided that each Underwriter severally covenants with the Issuer not to take any action without the Issuer’s consent that would result in a free writing prospectus being required to be filed with the Commission under Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Issuer thereunder, but for the action of such Underwriter.

If at any time, when the Securities remain unsold by the Underwriters, the Issuer receives from the Commission a notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) or otherwise ceases to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration statement form, the Issuer will (i) promptly notify the Representatives, (ii) promptly file a new registration statement or post-effective amendment on the proper form relating to the Securities, in a form satisfactory to the Representatives, (iii) use its best efforts to cause such registration statement or post-effective amendment to be declared effective and (iv) promptly notify the Representatives of such effectiveness.

References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new registration statement or post-effective amendment, as the case may be.
20
(n) Filing Fees. The Issuer agrees to pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) of the Securities Act without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the Securities Act.

The Issuer will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Securities or take any action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act in connection with the distribution of the Securities contemplated hereby, provided, the Issuer does not make any covenant as to any actions which may be taken by the Underwriters.
The Representatives, on behalf of the several Underwriters may, in their sole discretion, waive in writing the performance by the Issuer of any one or more of the foregoing covenants or extend the time for their performance.

28
(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8 or to the extent it is not prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) as a proximate result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses (other than reasonable costs of investigation) subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.
29
(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 8(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement; provided, that if it is ultimately determined that an indemnified party was not entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party shall be responsible for repaying or reimbursing such amounts to the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
Section 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer, and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the front cover page of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or any such inaccurate or alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the Issuer, on the one hand, or any Underwriter through the Representatives, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
30
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 8(c) with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8(c) for purposes of indemnification.
The Issuer and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 9, each Affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Issuer, each officer of the Issuer who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuer.
Section 10. Default of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities, which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in the proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of the Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate principal amount of the Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase such Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase such Securities and the aggregate principal amount of such Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Issuer for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 4, Section 6, Section 8 and Section 9 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Representatives or the Issuer shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum or the Canadian Offering Memorandum or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.
31
As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 10. Any action taken under this Section 10 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
Section 11. Termination of this Agreement. On or after the Initial Sale Time and prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to the Issuer if at any time (i) trading or quotation in any of the Issuer’s securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the NYSE, or trading in securities generally on either the Nasdaq Stock Market or the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchanges by the Commission or FINRA; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of Canadian, U.S. federal or New York authorities; (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity involving the United States, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representatives is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities in the manner and on the terms described in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; (iv) in the judgment of the Representatives there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change; or (v) there shall have occurred a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States. Any termination pursuant to this Section 11 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Issuer to any Underwriter, except that the Issuer shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Underwriters pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 hereof, (b) any Underwriter to the Issuer, or (c) of any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8 and Section 9 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.
Section 12. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Issuer, of its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriters or the Issuer or any of its partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

The Issuer is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.
(ii) The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer.
(iii) The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and Prologis, and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Prologis and the Issuer, enforceable against each of Prologis and the Issuer in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles.
(iv) The Securities have been duly authorized by the Issuer for execution, issuance and sale pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture and, when executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
(v) The Registration Statement became effective upon filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act.

PROLOGIS, L.P.
[ ]% NOTE DUE [ ]
PROLOGIS, L.P., a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term shall include any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CDS & CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of [PRINCIPAL AMOUNT IN WORDS] Canadian dollars (C$[●]) on [●] and to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount thereon at the rate of [●]% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall accrue from and including [●], [●] or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, and be payable semi-annually in arrears in equal installments [(other than the first Interest Payment Date)] on [●] and [●] of each year, commencing on [●], [●]. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest which shall be [●] or [●] (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest on this Security will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. For an interest period that is not a full semi-annual period, interest on this Security shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days in such interest period. If any Interest Payment Date, maturity date or earlier date of redemption falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, that maturity date or that date of redemption, as the case may be, until the next Business Day. For purposes of the Securities (as defined below), “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York, Los Angeles, California, Toronto, Ontario, or place of payment are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
A-1
Payment of the principal of, or premium or Redemption Price, if applicable, on, and interest on this Security shall be made at the office or agency maintained for such purpose in Toronto, Ontario, initially the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, located at 1 York Street, 6th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, in CAD.
For the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such computation is equivalent during any particular period is the rate so used (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the number of days based on which such rate is calculated. The foregoing sentence is for purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada) only and not for any other purpose and shall not otherwise affect the terms of the Securities of this series.
Payments of principal of, premium or Redemption Price, if any, and interest in respect of this Security shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in CAD. If CAD is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Securities shall be made in U.S. Dollars until CAD is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in CAD shall be converted into U.S. Dollars on the basis of the then most recently available market exchange rate for CAD, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Any payment in respect of the Securities so made in U.S. Dollars shall not constitute an event of default under the Indenture (as defined below). Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling redenominations.
Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2011 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, Prologis, Inc. (herein called the “Parent Guarantor,” which term includes any successor under the Indenture) and U.S. Bank Trust Company, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of which this Security is a part), as amended by the fifth supplemental indenture, dated as of August 15, 2013, and as further amended by the ninth supplemental indenture, dated as of November 3, 2022 (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Parent Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to C$[●], subject to the Company’s right to increase the aggregate principal amount of such series from time to time.
A-2
At any time prior to the Par Call Date, the Securities of this series may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the option of the Company at a Redemption Price calculated by the Company and equal to the greater of
(1) the Canada Yield Price, and
(2) 100% of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.
In addition, on or after the Par Call Date, the Securities of this series may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the Redemption Date.
The following definitions apply with respect to the Redemption Price:
“Par Call Date” means [●], [●].
“Canada Yield Price” means, in respect of any Securities being redeemed, the price, in respect of the principal amount of the Securities, calculated by the Company as of the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date of such Securities, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) and principal on the Securities to be redeemed from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date using as a discount rate the sum of the Government of Canada Yield on such business day plus 51 basis points.
“Government of Canada Yield” means, on any date, the bid-side yield to maturity on such date as determined by the arithmetic average (rounded to three decimal places) of the yields quoted at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) by any two investment dealers in Canada selected by the Company, assuming semi-annual compounding and calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice, which a non-callable Government of Canada bond would carry if issued in Canadian dollars in Canada at 100% of its principal amount on such date with a term to maturity that most closely approximates the remaining term to the Par Call Date.
A-3
The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to the Holder of record of the Securities of this series to be redeemed at its registered address.
The Securities are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Securities. Except as specifically provided for herein, the Company shall not be required to make any payment for any tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge of whatever nature imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.
All payments of principal and interest with respect to the Securities will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (“Taxes”) imposed by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by (i) the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or (ii) an official position regarding the application, administration, interpretation or enforcement of any such laws, regulations or rulings (including, without limitation, a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a taxing authority in the United States or any political subdivision thereof). If a withholding or deduction is required, the Company will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay to the Holder of this Security that is beneficially owned by a United States Alien (as defined below), as additional interest, such amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that every net payment on this Security (including payment of the principal of and interest on such Security) by the Company or a Paying Agent, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided in this Security to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts will not apply to:
a. any Tax that would not have been so imposed but for:
· the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder or beneficial owner of this Security (or between a fiduciary, settlor or beneficiary of, or a person holding a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate or a trust, or a member or shareholder of such Holder, if such Holder is a partnership or corporation) and the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, person holding a power, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein; or
A-4
· such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s past or present status, as applicable (under prior or current law), as a personal holding company, foreign personal holding company, foreign private foundation or other foreign tax-exempt organization with respect to the United States, passive foreign investment company or controlled foreign corporation for United States tax purposes or corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States Federal income tax;
b. any estate, inheritance, gift, excise, sales, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property Tax or any similar Tax;
c. any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of this Security for payment more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof was duly provided for, whichever occurred later;
d. any Tax that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from a payment on this Security;
e. any Tax required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from a payment on this Security, if such payment could be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent;
f. any Tax that would not have been imposed but for a failure to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation, identification or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of this Security or any intermediary of such Holder or beneficial owner if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Tax (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any backup withholding Tax imposed pursuant to Section 3406 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (or any amended or successor provision));
g. any Tax imposed on a Holder or beneficial owner that actually or constructively owns 10 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s stock or that is a bank receiving interest on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business; or
h. any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g);
nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to a payment on this Security to a Holder or beneficial owner that is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner would not have been entitled to Additional Amounts (or payment of Additional Amounts would not have been necessary) had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of this Security.
A-5
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any person making payments on behalf of the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold as required, and shall not be required to pay any Additional Amounts with respect to any withholding or deduction imposed on or in respect of this Security, pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (commonly referred to as “FATCA”) (or any amended or successor provisions), any treaty, law, regulation or other official guidance enacted by any jurisdiction implementing FATCA, any agreement between the Company or any other person and the United States or any jurisdiction implementing FATCA, or any law implementing an intergovernmental approach to FATCA.
A “United States Alien” means any person that, for United States federal income tax purposes, is a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual, a non-resident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust, or a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for United States federal income tax purposes, a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual or a non-resident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.
If (a) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States (including of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in the official application (including a ruling by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States) or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after October 27, 2022, the Company becomes or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts on this Security or (b) any act is taken by a taxing authority of the United States (including of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) on or after October 27, 2022, whether or not such act is taken with respect to the Company or any affiliate of the Company, that results in a substantial likelihood that the Company will or may be required to pay Additional Amounts on this Security, then, the Company may, at its option, redeem this Security, as a whole but not in part, on not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest, accrued thereon (and Additional Amounts, if any) to the date fixed for redemption; provided that the Company determines, in its business judgment, that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company, not including substitution of the obligor under this Security or any action that would entail a material cost to the Company. No redemption will be made unless (i) the Company shall have received an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the circumstances described in either of the above clauses (a) or (b) exist and (ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, stating that based on such opinion the Company is entitled to redeem this Security pursuant to its terms. If the Company redeems this Security under the circumstances described in this paragraph, then, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth above in this paragraph, installments of interest on this Security that are due and payable on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Redemption Date for this Security will be payable to the registered Holder of this Security (or one or more predecessor securities) of record at the close of business on the relevant record date, all as provided in the Indenture. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest on this Security called for redemption will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.
A-6
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount, and premium or Redemption Price, if any, on all of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, unless the principal of all of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall already have become due and payable, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium or Redemption Price, if applicable, on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
A-7
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Registrar, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any Place of Payment where the principal of, premium or Redemption Price, if applicable, on, and interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of C$2,000 and any integral multiple of C$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and any agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
[Except as provided in Article Sixteen of the Indenture,] no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past, present or future stockholder, partner, director, officer, employee, agent thereof or trustee, as such, of the Company or any Guarantor or of any successor thereof, either directly or through the Company or any Guarantor or any successor thereof, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities of this series.
All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS SECURITY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused “CUSIP” numbers to be printed on the Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such Securities. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such CUSIP numbers as printed on the Securities of this series, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of such Indenture shall alter or impair the guarantee of the undersigned, which is absolute and unconditional, of the full and prompt payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the CAD Note.
THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication on the CAD Note shall have been executed by the Trustee under the Indenture referred to above by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers. The validity and enforceability of this Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to the CAD Note.
An Event of Default under the Indenture or the CAD Note shall constitute an event of default under this Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of the CAD Note to accelerate the obligations of the undersigned hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee to the contrary, the undersigned hereby waives any claims or other rights which it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence or performance of its obligations under this Guarantee (all such claims and rights are referred to as “Guarantor’s Conditional Rights”), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. Guarantor hereby agrees not to exercise any rights which may be acquired by way of contribution under this Guarantee or any other agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such contribution rights. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned on account of the Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and either (i) such amount is paid to such undersigned party at any time when the indebtedness shall not have been paid or performed in full, or (ii) regardless of when such amount is paid to such undersigned party, any payment made by the Company to a Holder that is at any time determined to be a Preferential Payment (as defined below), then such amount paid to the undersigned shall be held in trust for the benefit of Holder and shall forthwith be paid to such Holder to be credited and applied upon the indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured. Any such payment is herein referred to as a “Preferential Payment” to the extent the Company makes any payment to Holder in connection with the CAD Note, and any or all of such payment is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any bankruptcy act or otherwise.
A-13
To the extent that any of the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph shall not be enforceable, the undersigned agrees that until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the Company or the undersigned to a Holder may be determined to be a Preferential Payment, Guarantor’s Conditional Rights to the extent not validly waived shall be subordinate to Holders’ right to full payment and performance of the indebtedness and the undersigned shall not enforce any of Guarantor’s Conditional Rights until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the Company or the undersigned to Holders may be determined to be a Preferential Payment.
The obligations of the undersigned to the Holders of the CAD Note and to the Trustee pursuant to this Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article Sixteen of the Indenture and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for the precise terms of this Guarantee and all of the other provisions of the Indenture to which this Guarantee relates.

Exhibit 4.2
PROLOGIS, L.P.
OFFICERS’ CERTIFICATE
November 3, 2022
The undersigned officers of Prologis, Inc. (“Prologis, Inc.”), general partner of Prologis, L.P. (the “Company”), on behalf of the Company, acting pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of Prologis, Inc. (the “Board”) on May 4, 2022 and the Securities Offering Transaction Committee of the Board on October 27, 2022, hereby establish a series of debt securities by means of this Officers’ Certificate in accordance with the Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2011 (the “Base Indenture,”), as supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”), among the Company, Prologis, Inc. and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and as supplemented by the Ninth Supplemental Indenture (the “Ninth Supplemental Indenture, and together with the Base Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, Prologis, Inc. and the Trustee. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Officers’ Certificate shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.
5.250% Notes due 2031
1. The series shall be entitled the “5.250% Notes due 2031” (the “Notes”) and shall be a series of CAD Notes as defined in the Ninth Supplemental Indenture.
2. The Notes initially shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of C$500,000,000 (except in each case for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of or within the Series pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 906, 1107 or 1305 of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Ninth Supplemental Indenture); provided, the Company may increase such aggregate principal amount upon the action of the Board to do so from time to time.
3. The Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 5.250% per annum. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes is payable at maturity on January 15, 2031. The interest on this Series shall accrue from and including November 3, 2022 or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears in equal installments (other than the first Interest Payment Date) on January 15 and July 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on January 15, 2023. Interest shall be paid to persons in whose names the Notes are registered on the January 1 and July 1 preceding the Interest Payment Date, whether or not a Business Day (each a “Regular Record Date”).
4. The Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and notices or demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and the Indenture may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, located at 1 York Street, 6th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 0B6. The principal of the Notes payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption shall be paid against presentation and surrender of the Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent.
5. At any time prior to the Par Call Date, the Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the option of the Company, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to the Redemption Date, at a Redemption Price calculated by the Company and equal to the greater of
| · | the Canada Yield Price, and |
| · | 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed, |
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.
In addition, on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.
The following definitions apply with respect to the Redemption Price:
“Par Call Date” means October 15, 2030.
“Canada Yield Price” means, in respect of any Notes being redeemed, the price, in respect of the principal amount of the Notes, calculated by the Company as of the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date of such Notes, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) and principal on the Notes to be redeemed from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date using as a discount rate the sum of the Government of Canada Yield on such business day plus 51 basis points.
“Government of Canada Yield” means, on any date, the bid-side yield to maturity on such date as determined by the arithmetic average (rounded to three decimal places) of the yields quoted at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) by any two investment dealers in Canada selected by the Company, assuming semi-annual compounding and calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice, which a non-callable Government of Canada bond would carry if issued in Canadian dollars in Canada at 100% of its principal amount on such date with a term to maturity that most closely approximates the remaining term to the Par Call Date.
The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
2
If (a) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States (including of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in the official application (including a ruling by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States) or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after October 27, 2022, the Company becomes or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the Notes or (b) any act is taken by a taxing authority of the United States (including of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) on or after October 27, 2022, whether or not such act is taken with respect to the Company or any affiliate of the Company, that results in a substantial likelihood that the Company will or may be required to pay Additional Amounts on the Notes, then, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, as a whole but not in part, on not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price (the “Tax Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, together with interest, accrued thereon (and Additional Amounts, if any) to the date fixed for redemption; provided that the Company determines, in its business judgment, that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company, not including substitution of the obligor under this Security or any action that would entail a material cost to the Company. No redemption will be made unless (i) the Company shall have received an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the circumstances described in either of the above clauses (a) or (b) exist and (ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, stating that based on such opinion the Company is entitled to redeem the Notes pursuant to its terms. If the Company redeems the Notes under the circumstances described in this paragraph, then, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth above in this paragraph, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Redemption Date for the Notes will be payable to the registered Holder of the Notes (or one or more predecessor securities) of record at the close of business on the relevant record date, all as provided in the Indenture.
If notice of redemption has been given as provided in the Base Indenture and the preceding paragraph and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption shall have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in such notice, such Notes shall cease to bear interest on the Redemption Date and the only right of the Holders of the Notes from and after the Redemption Date shall be to receive payment of the Redemption Price or Tax Redemption Price, as applicable, upon surrender of such Notes in accordance with such notice.
6. All payments of principal and interest with respect to the Notes will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (“Taxes”) imposed by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by (i) the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or (ii) an official position regarding the application, administration, interpretation or enforcement of any such laws, regulations or rulings (including, without limitation, a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a taxing authority in the United States or any political subdivision thereof). If a withholding or deduction is required, the Company will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay to a Holder of the Notes that is beneficially owned by a United States Alien (as defined below), as additional interest, such amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that every net payment on the Notes (including payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes) by the Company or a Paying Agent, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided in the Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts will not apply to:
a. any Tax that would not have been so imposed but for:
· the existence of any present or former connection between a Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes (or between a fiduciary, settlor or beneficiary of, or a person holding a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate or a trust, or a member or shareholder of such Holder, if such Holder is a partnership or corporation) and the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, person holding a power, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein; or
3
· a Holder’s or beneficial owner’s past or present status, as applicable (under prior or current law), as a personal holding company, foreign personal holding company, foreign private foundation or other foreign tax-exempt organization with respect to the United States, passive foreign investment company or controlled foreign corporation for United States tax purposes or corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States Federal income tax;
b. any estate, inheritance, gift, excise, sales, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property Tax or any similar Tax;
c. any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by a Holder of the Notes for payment more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof was duly provided for, whichever occurred later;
d. any Tax that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from a payment on the Notes;
e. any Tax required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from a payment on the Notes, if such payment could be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent;
f. any Tax that would not have been imposed but for a failure to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation, identification or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of a Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes or any intermediary of such Holder or beneficial owner if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Tax (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any backup withholding Tax imposed pursuant to Section 3406 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (or any amended or successor provision));
g. any Tax imposed on a Holder or beneficial owner that actually or constructively owns 10 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s stock or that is a bank receiving interest on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business; or
h. any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g);
nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to a payment on the Notes to a Holder or beneficial owner that is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner would not have been entitled to Additional Amounts (or payment of Additional Amounts would not have been necessary) had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of the Notes.
4
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any person making payments on behalf of the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold as required, and shall not be required to pay any Additional Amounts with respect to any withholding or deduction imposed on or in respect of the Notes, pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (commonly referred to as “FATCA”) (or any amended or successor provisions), any treaty, law, regulation or other official guidance enacted by any jurisdiction implementing FATCA, any agreement between the Company or any other person and the United States or any jurisdiction implementing FATCA, or any law implementing an intergovernmental approach to FATCA.
A “United States Alien” means any person that, for United States federal income tax purposes, is a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual, a non-resident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust, or a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for United States federal income tax purposes, a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual or a non-resident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.
The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Notes. Except as specifically provided under this Paragraph 6, the Company shall not be required to make any payment for any tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge of whatever nature imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.
7. The Notes shall not provide for any sinking fund or analogous provision. None of the Notes shall be redeemable at the option of the Holder.
8. The Notes shall be issuable in registered form substantially in the form set out in Exhibit A of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture without coupons, in minimum denominations of C$2,000 and any integral multiple of C$1,000 in excess thereof.
9. The principal amount of, and the Redemption Price or Tax Redemption Price, if any, on, the Notes shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration pursuant to Section 502 of the Base Indenture.
10. The Notes shall be denominated in and principal of or interest on the Notes (or Redemption Price or Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) shall be payable in Canadian dollars (“CAD”). If CAD is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes shall be made in U.S. Dollars until CAD is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in CAD shall be converted into U.S. Dollars on the basis of the then most recently available market exchange rate for CAD, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. Dollars shall not constitute an Event of Default. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling redenominations.
5
11. Except as provided in paragraph 5 of this Officers’ Certificate, the amount of payments of principal of or interest on the Notes (or Redemption Price or Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) shall not be determined with reference to an index or formula.
12. Except as set forth herein, in the Indenture or in the Notes, none of the principal of or interest on the Notes (or Redemption Price or Tax Redemption Price, if applicable) shall be payable at the election of the Company or a Holder thereof in a currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies other than that in which the Notes are denominated or stated to be payable.
13. Except as set forth in the Indenture or the Trust Indenture Act, the Notes shall not contain any provisions granting special rights to the Holders of Notes upon the occurrence of specified events.
14. The Notes shall not contain any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the Events of Default or covenants of the Company contained in the Indenture.
15. Except as set forth herein, in the Indenture or in the Notes, the Notes shall not be issued in the form of bearer Securities or temporary global Securities.
16. Sections 1402 and 1403 of the Base Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes.
17. The Notes shall not be issued upon the exercise of debt warrants.
18. Article Sixteen of the Base Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.
19. The other terms and conditions of the Notes shall be substantially as set forth in the Indenture, in the Prospectus dated September 15, 2022 (provided the provisions under the heading “Description of Debt Securities of Prologis, L.P.–Guarantees” therein do not apply to the Notes) and the Prospectus Supplement dated October 27, 2022 relating to the Notes.

5.250% NOTE DUE 2031
PROLOGIS, L.P., a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term shall include any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CDS & CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of FIVE HUNDRED MILLION Canadian dollars (C$500,000,000) on January 15, 2031 and to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount thereon at the rate of 5.250% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall accrue from and including November 3, 2022 or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, and be payable semi-annually in arrears in equal installments (other than the first Interest Payment Date) on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2023. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest which shall be January 1 or July 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest on this Security will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. For an interest period that is not a full semi-annual period, interest on this Security shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days in such interest period. If any Interest Payment Date, maturity date or earlier date of redemption falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, that maturity date or that date of redemption, as the case may be, until the next Business Day. For purposes of the Securities (as defined below), “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York, Los Angeles, California, Toronto, Ontario, or place of payment are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
Payment of the principal of, or premium or Redemption Price, if applicable, on, and interest on this Security shall be made at the office or agency maintained for such purpose in Toronto, Ontario, initially the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, located at 1 York Street, 6th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, in CAD.
For the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such computation is equivalent during any particular period is the rate so used (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the number of days based on which such rate is calculated. The foregoing sentence is for purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada) only and not for any other purpose and shall not otherwise affect the terms of the Securities of this series.
Payments of principal of, premium or Redemption Price, if any, and interest in respect of this Security shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in CAD. If CAD is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Securities shall be made in U.S. Dollars until CAD is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in CAD shall be converted into U.S. Dollars on the basis of the then most recently available market exchange rate for CAD, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Any payment in respect of the Securities so made in U.S. Dollars shall not constitute an event of default under the Indenture (as defined below). Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling redenominations.

Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2011 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, Prologis, Inc. (herein called the “Parent Guarantor,” which term includes any successor under the Indenture) and U.S. Bank Trust Company, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of which this Security is a part), as amended by the fifth supplemental indenture, dated as of August 15, 2013, and as further amended by the ninth supplemental indenture, dated as of November 3, 2022 (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Parent Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to C$500,000,000, subject to the Company’s right to increase the aggregate principal amount of such series from time to time.
At any time prior to the Par Call Date, the Securities of this series may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the option of the Company at a Redemption Price calculated by the Company and equal to the greater of
(1) the Canada Yield Price, and
(2) 100% of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date.
In addition, on or after the Par Call Date, the Securities of this series may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the Redemption Date.
The following definitions apply with respect to the Redemption Price:
“Par Call Date” means October 15, 2030.
“Canada Yield Price” means, in respect of any Securities being redeemed, the price, in respect of the principal amount of the Securities, calculated by the Company as of the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date of such Securities, equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) and principal on the Securities to be redeemed from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date using as a discount rate the sum of the Government of Canada Yield on such business day plus 51 basis points.
3
“Government of Canada Yield” means, on any date, the bid-side yield to maturity on such date as determined by the arithmetic average (rounded to three decimal places) of the yields quoted at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) by any two investment dealers in Canada selected by the Company, assuming semi-annual compounding and calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice, which a non-callable Government of Canada bond would carry if issued in Canadian dollars in Canada at 100% of its principal amount on such date with a term to maturity that most closely approximates the remaining term to the Par Call Date.
The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to the Holder of record of the Securities of this series to be redeemed at its registered address.
The Securities are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Securities. Except as specifically provided for herein, the Company shall not be required to make any payment for any tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge of whatever nature imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.
All payments of principal and interest with respect to the Securities will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (“Taxes”) imposed by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by (i) the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or (ii) an official position regarding the application, administration, interpretation or enforcement of any such laws, regulations or rulings (including, without limitation, a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a taxing authority in the United States or any political subdivision thereof). If a withholding or deduction is required, the Company will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay to the Holder of this Security that is beneficially owned by a United States Alien (as defined below), as additional interest, such amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that every net payment on this Security (including payment of the principal of and interest on such Security) by the Company or a Paying Agent, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided in this Security to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts will not apply to:
a. any Tax that would not have been so imposed but for:
● the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder or beneficial owner of this Security (or between a fiduciary, settlor or beneficiary of, or a person holding a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate or a trust, or a member or shareholder of such Holder, if such Holder is a partnership or corporation) and the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, person holding a power, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein; or
4
● such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s past or present status, as applicable (under prior or current law), as a personal holding company, foreign personal holding company, foreign private foundation or other foreign tax-exempt organization with respect to the United States, passive foreign investment company or controlled foreign corporation for United States tax purposes or corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States Federal income tax;
b. any estate, inheritance, gift, excise, sales, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property Tax or any similar Tax;
c. any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of this Security for payment more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof was duly provided for, whichever occurred later;
d. any Tax that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from a payment on this Security;
e. any Tax required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from a payment on this Security, if such payment could be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent;
f. any Tax that would not have been imposed but for a failure to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation, identification or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of this Security or any intermediary of such Holder or beneficial owner if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Tax (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any backup withholding Tax imposed pursuant to Section 3406 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (or any amended or successor provision));
g. any Tax imposed on a Holder or beneficial owner that actually or constructively owns 10 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s stock or that is a bank receiving interest on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business; or
h. any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g);
nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to a payment on this Security to a Holder or beneficial owner that is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner would not have been entitled to Additional Amounts (or payment of Additional Amounts would not have been necessary) had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of this Security.
5
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any person making payments on behalf of the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold as required, and shall not be required to pay any Additional Amounts with respect to any withholding or deduction imposed on or in respect of this Security, pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (commonly referred to as “FATCA”) (or any amended or successor provisions), any treaty, law, regulation or other official guidance enacted by any jurisdiction implementing FATCA, any agreement between the Company or any other person and the United States or any jurisdiction implementing FATCA, or any law implementing an intergovernmental approach to FATCA.
A “United States Alien” means any person that, for United States federal income tax purposes, is a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual, a non-resident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust, or a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which is, for United States federal income tax purposes, a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual or a non-resident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.
If (a) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States (including of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in the official application (including a ruling by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States) or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after October 27, 2022, the Company becomes or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts on this Security or (b) any act is taken by a taxing authority of the United States (including of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) on or after October 27, 2022, whether or not such act is taken with respect to the Company or any affiliate of the Company, that results in a substantial likelihood that the Company will or may be required to pay Additional Amounts on this Security, then, the Company may, at its option, redeem this Security, as a whole but not in part, on not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest, accrued thereon (and Additional Amounts, if any) to the date fixed for redemption; provided that the Company determines, in its business judgment, that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company, not including substitution of the obligor under this Security or any action that would entail a material cost to the Company. No redemption will be made unless (i) the Company shall have received an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the circumstances described in either of the above clauses (a) or (b) exist and (ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, stating that based on such opinion the Company is entitled to redeem this Security pursuant to its terms. If the Company redeems this Security under the circumstances described in this paragraph, then, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth above in this paragraph, installments of interest on this Security that are due and payable on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Redemption Date for this Security will be payable to the registered Holder of this Security (or one or more predecessor securities) of record at the close of business on the relevant record date, all as provided in the Indenture. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest on this Security called for redemption will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.
6
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount, and premium or Redemption Price, if any, on all of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, unless the principal of all of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall already have become due and payable, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium or Redemption Price, if applicable, on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Registrar, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any Place of Payment where the principal of, premium or Redemption Price, if applicable, on, and interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
7
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of C$2,000 and any integral multiple of C$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and any agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past, present or future stockholder, partner, director, officer, employee, agent thereof or trustee, as such, of the Company or any Guarantor or of any successor thereof, either directly or through the Company or any Guarantor or any successor thereof, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities of this series.
All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS SECURITY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused “CUSIP” numbers to be printed on the Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such Securities. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such CUSIP numbers as printed on the Securities of this series, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

The Notes will be issued under the Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuer and the Parent and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the fifth supplemental indenture, dated as of August 15, 2013, and as further supplemented by the ninth supplemental indenture, dated as of November 3, 2022, (the Base Indenture as supplemented by the fifth supplemental indenture and ninth supplemental indenture, the “Indenture”).
