Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date.
(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Committed Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of any Committed Loan, or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit or a Swing Line Loan, an amount (such as a required minimum or multiple amount) is expressed in a Primary Currency of the applicable Tranche, but such Committed Borrowing, Committed Loan, Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Primary Currency amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Foreign Currency, with 0.0001 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the applicable Funding Agent on the applicable Revaluation Date under and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 1.6 Change of Currency.
(a) Each obligation of Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Committed Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Committed Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.
(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as Global Administrative Agent (in consultation with any other relevant Agent and, to the extent a Default does not exist, Prologis) may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.
-54-
(c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as Global Administrative Agent (in consultation with any other relevant Agent and, to the extent a Default does not exist, Prologis) may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency.

(a) Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent for the U.S. Tranche of the stated amount of such U.S. Letter of Credit in effect at such time; and the Euro Equivalent for the Euro Tranche of the stated amount of such Euro Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent for the U.S. Tranche and the Euro Equivalent for the Euro Tranche of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
(b) For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Rule 3.14 of the ISP, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” in the amount so remaining available to be drawn.
Section 1.9 Interest Rates. Global Administrative Agent and Funding Agents do not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall Global Administrative Agent nor any Funding Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates with respect to any additional Alternative Currency or in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate”, “Term SOFR Rate”, “Daily Simple SOFR Rate”, “Daily Floating XXXXX Rate”, “XXXXX”, “TONAR Rate” or “TIIE Rate” or any rate (including for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any of such rate (including any Successor Rate) or the effect of any of the foregoing. Global Administrative Agent, Funding Agents and their affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions or other activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or any related spread or other adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to Borrowers. Global Administrative Agent and Funding Agents may select information sources or services in their reasonable discretion to ascertain any reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing), in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any
-55-
kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
Section 1.10 Sustainability Provisions. Each party hereto hereby agrees that neither the Sustainability Structuring Agent nor Global Administrative Agent shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by Prologis of the Sustainability Metric or the Sustainability Metric Percentage (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Sustainability Certificate or Assurance Report (and Global Administrative Agent and Sustainability Structuring Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry). Following a material acquisition or disposition by any Company, Prologis may request an adjustment to the Sustainability Metric Percentage. Any such adjustment will be subject to the consent of Sustainability Structuring Agent and will go into effect so long as Lenders constituting the Required Lenders have not objected to such adjustment within 10 Business Days after such adjustment has been posted for the Lenders. Upon request of Prologis, Global Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Lenders and Prologis shall in good faith enter into discussions to agree to amendments (“ESG Amendments”) to the definitions of Sustainability Metric, the Sustainability Metric Percentage (and the target levels), and any proposed incentives and penalties for satisfying or not satisfying, respectively, the Sustainability Metric Percentage, including any adjustments (not to exceed plus or minus 5 basis points in the aggregate) to the Applicable Margin (such provisions, collectively, the “ESG Pricing Provisions”); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such ESG Amendments shall be effective upon consent of the Required Lenders.

Section 2.1 U.S. Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each U.S. Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “U.S. Committed Loan”) to each U.S. Borrower in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies of the U.S. Tranche, subject to Section 2.2, from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, under the U.S. Tranche, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any U.S. Committed Borrowing, (a) the U.S. Total Outstandings shall not exceed the U.S. Aggregate Commitments and (b) the U.S. Credit Exposure of any U.S. Lender shall not exceed such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Commitment.

Section 2.2 U.S. Fronting Loans.
Section 2.2.1 U.S. Fronting Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.2, upon a request for a U.S. Committed Borrowing in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower in compliance with Section 2.1, each Fronting Lender agrees, subject to the limitations set forth below, to fund its Fronting Portion of such U.S. Committed Borrowing in the requested currency with respect to such U.S. Committed Borrowing and in the amount of each U.S. Non-Qualified Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage for such U.S. Committed Borrowing (each a “U.S. Fronting Loan”), notwithstanding the fact that, after giving effect to such funding, all U.S. Fronting Loans of such Fronting Lender, when aggregated with the U.S. Credit Exposure of such Fronting Lender, may exceed the amount of such Fronting Lender’s U.S. Commitment; provided that (a) after giving effect to any U.S. Fronting Loan, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all Fronting Loans funded by such Fronting Lender shall not exceed the Fronting Commitment of such Fronting Lender, and (b) such Fronting Lender shall not be a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender for purposes of such U.S. Committed Borrowing. Immediately upon the making of a U.S. Fronting Loan, the applicable U.S. Non-Qualified Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Fronting Lender a risk participation in 100% of such U.S. Fronting Loan. The obligation of each U.S. Non-Qualified Lender to make U.S. Committed Loans in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower under Section 2.1 shall be satisfied by its purchase of a risk participation in the applicable U.S. Fronting Loan; it being understood that no U.S. Non-Qualified Lender shall be responsible for, or be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender or otherwise in breach of this Agreement as a result of, the failure by a Fronting Lender to make a Fronting Loan in which such U.S. Non-Qualified Lender is to purchase a risk participation. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no more than five Credit Extensions that utilize U.S. Fronting Loans shall be made during any calendar month.
Section 2.2.2 Election of Fronting Lenders. (a) Upon a request for a U.S. Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3 in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower with respect to which there are U.S. Non-Qualified Lenders, there shall be a Fronting Lender Election. If, based on the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.2.1 or the last two sentences of Section 2.2.2(b) (the “U.S. Fronting Limitations”), the Fronting Commitments are not sufficient to fund all of the requested U.S. Fronting Loans in such Alternative Currency or to such Foreign Borrower, then the applicable U.S. Borrower shall, within one Business Day after notice by U.S. Funding Agent of such insufficiency, decrease the amount of the requested U.S. Committed Borrowing to the amount that would result in utilization of the maximum available Fronting Commitments, subject to the U.S. Fronting Limitations and, if applicable, after giving effect to the following sentence. If one or more U.S. Lenders are U.S. Non-Qualified Lenders solely because such U.S. Lenders are not capable of making requested U.S. Committed Loans to a Foreign Borrower without the imposition of withholding taxes (each a “U.S. Specified Lender”), such Borrower may, within one Business Day after notice by U.S. Funding Agent of the insufficiency, notify U.S. Funding Agent that it will accept responsibility for such withholding taxes with respect to such U.S. Committed Borrowing, in which case (i) U.S. Funding Agent and the Fronting Lenders shall allocate the available Fronting Commitments (A) first, to cover any portion of such Borrowing that will not be funded by a U.S. Lender because it is a
-57-
Non-Qualified Lender for a reason other than potential withholding taxes and (B) then, to cover the remaining amount of such Borrowing, in each case up to the maximum available Fronting Commitments, subject to the U.S. Fronting Limitations, (ii) the participations in any Fronting Loans made pursuant to clause (i)(B) above shall be allocated among the U.S. Specified Lenders pro rata according to their respective U.S. Commitments, (iii) each U.S. Specified Lender shall fund its pro rata share of such Borrowing to the extent not funded by the Fronting Lenders and (iv) such Borrower shall pay or reimburse each U.S. Specified Lender for any withholding tax arising from such Borrowing in accordance with Section 7.1.
(b) Each Non-Qualified Japan Lender with respect to the U.S. Tranche (i) represents and warrants to each applicable Fronting Lender that (A) the purchase of a risk participation in such Fronting Loan by such Non-Qualified Japan Lender and (B) the funding of such risk participation in such Fronting Loan by such Non-Qualified Japan Lender will not violate any applicable Law (including any Law of Japan), and (ii) agrees to indemnify such Fronting Lender for all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for such Fronting Lender) incurred by such Fronting Lender or asserted against such Fronting Lender arising from any Fronting Loan made by such Fronting Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.1. Without limiting the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall be obligated to make any Fronting Loan pursuant to Section 2.2.1 if such Fronting Lender determines that any representation or warranty of the applicable Non-Qualified Japan Lender in clause (i) of the preceding sentence is not accurate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2.2(b), no Fronting Lender shall make a Fronting Loan in which a Non-Qualified Japan Lender would be required to purchase a risk participation if such Non-Qualified Japan Lender has notified such Fronting Lender at least two Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing (with copies to U.S. Funding Agent and Prologis) that, as a result of a Change in Law, such Lender cannot make the representation and warranty set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.2.2(b).
Section 2.2.3 Refinancing of the U.S. Fronting Loans.
(a) (i) On the Trigger Date, the outstanding principal amount of U.S. Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than an Alternative Currency denominated in Euro, Sterling, Yen, or Canadian Dollars) shall be converted to Dollars at the Dollar Equivalent thereof based on the Spot Rate as of the Trigger Date, but only if any portion of such U.S. Committed Loans is funded with a U.S. Fronting Loan. Once converted to Dollars pursuant to the foregoing sentence, such U.S. Committed Loans shall be denominated in Dollars for all purposes of this Agreement. After giving effect to such conversion, on the Trigger Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, U.S. Funding Agent shall notify each U.S. Non-Qualified Lender of its obligation to fund its participation in each applicable U.S. Fronting Loan. Each applicable U.S. Non-Qualified Lender shall make the amount of its participation in each applicable U.S. Fronting Loan specified in such notice available to U.S. Funding Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at U.S. Funding Agent’s Office for payments in the same currency as the applicable U.S. Fronting Loan (after giving effect to the conversion described above in this clause (i)) not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice. The applicable Borrower shall indemnify each applicable Agent and Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Agent or Lender in connection with any conversion of U.S. Committed Loans pursuant to this clause (i), together with any amounts owed pursuant to Section 7.5.
-58-
(ii) To the extent that a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender that has a risk participation in a U.S. Fronting Loan assigns all or part of its interest in such risk participation under Section 14.6 to a U.S. Qualified Lender for purposes of such U.S. Fronting Loan, then such U.S. Qualified Lender shall make the amount of its assigned participation in such U.S. Fronting Loan available to U.S. Funding Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at U.S. Funding Agent’s Office for payments in the same currency as the applicable U.S. Fronting Loan not later than 1:00 p.m. on the third Business Day following the effective date of the assignment.
(b) If any applicable U.S. Lender fails to make available to any Fronting Lender any amount required to be paid by such U.S. Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2.3 by the time specified in Section 2.2.3(a), such Fronting Lender shall be entitled to recover from such U.S. Lender (acting through U.S. Funding Agent), on demand, such amount in the same currency as the applicable U.S. Fronting Loan with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Fronting Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of a Fronting Lender submitted to any applicable U.S. Lender (through U.S. Funding Agent) with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c) Each applicable U.S. Lender’s obligation to purchase and fund risk participations in U.S. Fronting Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such U.S. Lender may have against the applicable Fronting Lender, any U.S. Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any U.S. Borrower to repay any Fronting Lender, together with interest as provided herein.
(d) At any time after any U.S. Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a U.S. Fronting Loan, if the applicable Fronting Lender receives any payment on account of such U.S. Fronting Loan, such Fronting Lender will distribute to such U.S. Lender such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such U.S. Lender’s participation was funded) in the same funds and currency as those received by such Fronting Lender.
(e) If any payment received by any Fronting Lender (and paid to a U.S. Lender) in respect of principal of or interest on any U.S. Fronting Loan is required to be returned by such Fronting Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 14.5 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Fronting Lender in its discretion), such U.S. Lender shall pay to such Fronting Lender in the applicable currency of such Fronting Loan the amount of such payment in respect of such U.S. Fronting Loan on demand of U.S. Funding Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. U.S. Funding Agent will make such demand upon the request of the applicable Fronting Lender. The obligations of the applicable U.S. Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
-59-
Section 2.2.4 Payments for Account of the applicable Fronting Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, until the applicable U.S. Lender funds its risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.2 to refinance such U.S. Lender’s applicable U.S. Fronting Loan, all payments made hereunder in respect of the portion of any U.S. Committed Loan that was funded in part by a Fronting Lender shall be solely for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender.
Section 2.2.5 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall be required to make a U.S. Fronting Loan with respect to which there is a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender that is a Defaulting Lender at the time of the receipt by U.S. Funding Agent of the applicable U.S. Committed Loan Notice or at any time prior to the funding of such U.S. Fronting Loan. In addition, to the extent (a) a U.S. Fronting Loan is outstanding, (b) a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and (c) the applicable Fronting Lender makes a demand for repayment to the applicable U.S. Borrower, then such U.S. Borrower shall repay such U.S. Fronting Loan (i) on or before the earlier of (A) 30 days following receipt of such demand or (B) the fifth day following the last day of the applicable Interest Period ending after receipt of such demand or (ii) if no Interest Period is in effect with respect to such U.S. Fronting Loan, within ten days following receipt of such demand. If any such U.S. Fronting Loan is not repaid in full on the last day of an Interest Period (if applicable or required under clause (i)(B) above), subject to Section 6.4.2, such U.S. Fronting Loan shall bear interest at the Daily Simple SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin until such payment is made hereunder.
Section 2.3 U.S. Committed Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of U.S. Committed Loans.
Section 2.3.1 Procedures for U.S. Committed Borrowings. Each U.S. Committed Borrowing, each conversion of U.S. Committed Loans denominated in Dollars from one Type of Dollar-denominated Loans to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, Term SOFR Rate Loans or TIIE Rate Loans shall be made upon the requesting U.S. Borrower’s irrevocable notice to U.S. Funding Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a U.S. Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to U.S. Funding Agent of a U.S. Committed Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by U.S. Funding Agent not later than (a) 11:00 a.m. two Business Days prior to the requested date of any U.S. Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Rate Loans, (b) 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the requested date of any U.S. Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans (other than a U.S. Committed Borrowing denominated in Yen) or Daily Floating XXXXX Rate Loans, (c) 11:00 a.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of any Eurocurrency Rate Committed Borrowings denominated in Yen or any continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Yen, (d) 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the requested date of any U.S. Committed Borrowing of or continuation of TIIE Rate Loans, (e) 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day of the requested date of any U.S. Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans or any conversion to Base Rate Loans and (f) 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day of the requested date of any U.S. Committed Borrowing of Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans or any conversion to Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans.

Each U.S. Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) the jurisdiction of the applicable
-60-
U.S. Borrower and whether such Borrower is a Foreign Borrower, (ii) whether such U.S. Borrower is requesting a U.S. Committed Borrowing, a conversion of U.S. Committed Loans denominated in Dollars from one Type of Dollar-denominated Loans to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, Term SOFR Rate Loans or TIIE Rate Loans, (iii) the requested date of the U.S. Committed Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the principal amount of U.S. Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (v) the Type of U.S. Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing U.S. Committed Loans denominated in Dollars are to be converted, (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vii) the currency of the U.S. Committed Loans to be borrowed or continued. If the requesting U.S. Borrower fails to specify a currency in a U.S. Committed Loan Notice requesting a U.S. Committed Borrowing, then the U.S. Committed Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the requesting U.S. Borrower fails to specify a Type of U.S. Committed Loan in a U.S. Committed Loan Notice or if the requesting U.S. Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation, then the applicable U.S. Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Committed Loans; provided that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of U.S. Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency of the U.S. Tranche, such U.S. Committed Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or TIIE Rate Loans, as applicable, in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month or 28 days, as applicable, or Daily Floating XXXXX Rate Loans (if the requested currency is Sterling).

Except as provided in Section 7.3, no U.S. Committed Loan may be converted into or continued as a U.S. Committed Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such U.S. Committed Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
Section 2.3.2 Funding of U.S. Committed Loans. Following receipt of a U.S. Committed Loan Notice, U.S. Funding Agent shall promptly notify each U.S. Lender of the amount and currency of its Applicable Tranche Percentage of the applicable U.S. Committed Borrowing, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable U.S. Borrower, U.S. Funding Agent shall notify each U.S. Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans or continuation of U.S. Committed Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, in each case as described in Section 2.3.1. In the case of a U.S. Committed Borrowing, each U.S. Qualified Lender and the applicable Fronting Lender, if any, shall make the amount of its U.S. Committed Loan available to U.S. Funding Agent in Same Day Funds at U.S. Funding Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any U.S. Committed Loan denominated in Dollars (other than Daily Floating Rate Loans) and not later than 3:00 p.m. in the case of any Daily Floating Rate Loans, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by U.S. Funding Agent in the case of any U.S. Committed Loan in an Alternative Currency under the U.S. Tranche, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable U.S. Committed Loan Notice.

U.S. Borrower on the books of U.S. Funding Agent with the amount of such funds or (b) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) U.S. Funding Agent by such U.S. Borrower; provided that if, on the date the U.S. Committed Loan Notice with respect to such U.S. Committed Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by such U.S. Borrower, such U.S. Borrower has outstanding U.S. L/C Borrowings, then the proceeds of such U.S. Committed Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of such U.S. L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the applicable U.S. Borrower as provided above.
Section 2.3.3 Certain Continuations and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan, a Term SOFR Rate Loan and a TIIE Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan, Term SOFR Rate Loan or TIIE Rate Loan, as applicable. During the existence of an Event of Default, the U.S. Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the U.S. Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of the U.S. Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 14.1) declare that (a) no U.S. Loans denominated in Dollars may be requested as, converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Rate Loan and (b) no U.S. Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency may be requested or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or TIIE Rate Loans, other than as Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or TIIE Rate Loans, as applicable, with an Interest Period of one month or 28 days, as applicable.

All U.S. Existing Letters of Credit that were originally issued for the account of a Person that is not a U.S. Borrower shall, immediately upon the effectiveness hereof, be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto for the account of the applicable U.S. Borrower identified as the “Account Obligor” on Schedule 2.4(a) (which U.S. Borrower hereby assumes all U.S. L/C Obligations with respect to such U.S. Existing Letter of Credit), and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, Term SOFR Rate Loans or TIIE Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of the applicable Loans. U.S. Funding Agent will promptly notify each U.S. Lender and each Fronting Lender, as applicable, of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such U.S. Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by such U.S. Borrower, then such U.S. Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

Section 2.6.3 Prepayments Due to Currency Fluctuations. U.S. Funding Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of the U.S. Total Outstandings (but only with respect to U.S. Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency) on each applicable Revaluation Date. If on the Revaluation Date that occurs on the first Business Day of each calendar month, on the last day of an Interest Period, or such other times as U.S. Funding Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion, such calculation reflects that, as of such Revaluation Date, the Dollar Equivalent of the U.S. Total Outstandings exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then, within five Business Days after notice of such calculation from U.S. Funding Agent to Prologis, U.S. Borrowers shall prepay U.S. Loans and/or Cash Collateralize U.S. L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the U.S. Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not exceeding 100% of the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect; provided that solely for purposes of measuring compliance with this Section 2.6.3, the amount of Cash Collateral delivered to U.S. Funding Agent under this Section 2.6.3 shall be deemed to have reduced the U.S. Total Outstandings. Subject to Section 2.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the U.S. Committed Loans of U.S. Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.
Section 2.6.4 Other Prepayments. If at any time the Dollar Equivalent of the U.S. Total Outstandings exceeds the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect and such excess is not due to a currency exchange fluctuation covered under Section 2.6.3, then, within two Business Days after notice from U.S. Funding Agent to Prologis, U.S. Borrowers shall prepay the U.S. Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the U.S. L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Dollar Equivalent of such U.S. Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect, without regard to any minimum or multiples specified in Section 6.1.2 with respect to prepayments. Subject to Section 2.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the U.S. Committed Loans of U.S. Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.
Section 2.7 U.S. Bid Loans.
Section 2.7.1 General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each U.S. Lender agrees that any Domestic Borrower under the U.S. Tranche may from time to time request the U.S. Lenders to submit offers to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “U.S. Bid Loan”) to such Domestic Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period pursuant to this Section 2.7; provided that immediately after giving effect to any U.S. Bid Borrowing, (a) the U.S. Total Outstandings shall not exceed the U.S. Aggregate Commitments and (b) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all U.S. Bid Loans shall not exceed the U.S. Bid Loan Sublimit.

Section 2.7.5 Acceptance of Competitive Bids. Not later than 11:30 a.m., Applicable Time, three Business Days prior to the requested date of any U.S. Bid Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall notify U.S. Funding Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the offers notified to it pursuant to Section 2.7.4.

EURO COMMITMENTS AND EURO CREDIT EXTENSIONS
Section 3.1 Euro Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Euro Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Euro Committed Loan”) to each Euro Borrower in Euro or in one or more Alternative Currencies of the Euro Tranche, subject to Section 3.2, from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, under the Euro Tranche, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Euro Lender’s Euro Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Euro Committed Borrowing, (a) the Euro Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Euro Aggregate Commitments and (b) the Euro Credit Exposure of any Euro Lender shall not exceed such Euro Lender’s Euro Commitment. Within the limits of each Euro Lender’s Euro Commitment, Euro Borrowers may borrow under this Section 3.1, prepay under Section 3.6 and reborrow under this Section 3.1. Euro Committed Loans may be Eurocurrency Rate Loans (for Euro or Yen denominated Euro Committed Loans), Term SOFR Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans (for Dollar denominated Euro Committed Loans) or Daily Floating XXXXX Rate Loans (for Sterling denominated Euro Committed Loans) or solely upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 7.2 or 7.3, Substitute Rate Loans (for Euro denominated Euro Committed Loans) and TONAR Rate Loans (for Yen denominated Euro Committed Loans), as further provided herein.
Section 3.2 Euro Fronting Loans.
Section 3.2.1 Euro Fronting Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.2, upon a request for a Euro Committed Borrowing in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower in compliance with Section 3.1, each Fronting Lender agrees, subject to the limitations set forth below, to fund its Fronting Portion of such Euro Committed Borrowing in the requested currency with respect to such Euro Committed Borrowing and in the amount of each Euro Non-Qualified Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage for such Euro Committed Borrowing (each a “Euro Fronting Loan”), notwithstanding the fact that, after giving effect to such funding, all Euro Fronting Loans of such Fronting Lender, when aggregated with the Euro Credit
-67-
Exposure of such Fronting Lender, may exceed the amount of such Fronting Lender’s Euro Commitment; provided that (a) after giving effect to any Euro Fronting Loan, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all Fronting Loans funded by such Fronting Lender shall not exceed the Fronting Commitment of such Fronting Lender and (b) such Fronting Lender shall not be a Euro Non-Qualified Lender with respect to such Euro Committed Borrowing. Immediately upon the making of a Euro Fronting Loan, the applicable Euro Non-Qualified Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Fronting Lender a risk participation in 100% of such Euro Fronting Loan. The obligation of each Euro Non-Qualified Lender to make Euro Committed Loans in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower under Section 3.1 shall be satisfied by its purchase of a risk participation in the applicable Euro Fronting Loan; it being understood that no Euro Non-Qualified Lender shall be responsible for, or be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender or otherwise in breach of this Agreement as a result of, the failure by a Fronting Lender to make a Fronting Loan in which such Euro Non-Qualified Lender is to purchase a risk participation. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no more than five Credit Extensions that utilize Euro Fronting Loans shall be made during any calendar month.
Section 3.2.2 Election of Fronting Lenders. (a) Upon a request for a Euro Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 3.3 in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower with respect to which there are Euro Non-Qualified Lenders, there shall be a Fronting Lender Election. If, based on the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 3.2.1 or the last two sentences of Section 3.2.2(b) (the “Euro Fronting Limitations”), the Fronting Commitments are not sufficient to fund all of the requested Euro Fronting Loans in such Alternative Currency or to such Foreign Borrower, then the applicable Euro Borrower shall, within one Business Day after notice by Euro Funding Agent of such insufficiency, decrease the amount of the requested Euro Committed Borrowing to the amount that would result in utilization of the maximum available Fronting Commitments, subject to the Euro Fronting Limitations and, if applicable, after giving effect to the following sentence. If one or more Euro Lenders are Euro Non-Qualified Lenders solely because such Euro Lenders are not capable of making requested Euro Committed Loans to a Foreign Borrower without the imposition of withholding taxes (each a “Euro Specified Lender”), such Borrower may, within one Business Day after notice by Euro Funding Agent of the insufficiency, notify Euro Funding Agent that it will accept responsibility for such withholding taxes with respect to such Euro Committed Borrowing, in which case (i) Euro Funding Agent and the Fronting Lenders shall allocate the available Fronting Commitments (A) first, to cover any portion of such Borrowing that will not be funded by a Euro Lender because it is a Non-Qualified Lender for a reason other than potential withholding taxes and (B) then, to cover the remaining amount of such Borrowing, in each case up to the maximum available Fronting Commitments, subject to the Euro Fronting Limitations, (ii) the participations in any Fronting Loans made pursuant to clause (i)(B) above shall be allocated among the Euro Specified Lenders pro rata according to their respective Euro Commitments, (iii) each Euro Specified Lender shall fund its pro rata share of such Borrowing to the extent not funded by the Fronting Lenders and (iv) such Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Euro Specified Lender for any withholding tax arising from such Borrowing in accordance with Section 7.1.
(b) Each Non-Qualified Japan Lender with respect to the Euro Tranche (i) represents and warrants to each applicable Fronting Lender that (A) the purchase of a risk participation in such Fronting Loan by such Non-Qualified Japan Lender and (B) the funding of such risk participation in such Fronting Loan by such Non-Qualified Japan Lender will not violate any
-68-
applicable Law (including any Law of Japan), and (ii) agrees to indemnify such Fronting Lender for all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for such Fronting Lender) incurred by such Fronting Lender or asserted against such Fronting Lender arising from any Fronting Loan made by such Fronting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2.1. Without limiting the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall be obligated to make any Fronting Loan pursuant to Section 3.2.1 if such Fronting Lender determines that any representation or warranty of the applicable Non-Qualified Japan Lender in clause (i) of the preceding sentence is not accurate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2.2(b), no Fronting Lender shall make a Fronting Loan in which a Non-Qualified Japan Lender would be required to purchase a risk participation if such Non-Qualified Japan Lender has notified such Fronting Lender at least two Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing (with copies to Euro Funding Agent and Prologis) that, as a result of a Change in Law, such Lender cannot make the representation and warranty set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.2.2(b).
Section 3.2.3 Refinancing of the Euro Fronting Loans.
(a) (i) On the Trigger Date, the outstanding principal amount of Euro Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than an Alternative Currency denominated in Dollars, Sterling or Yen) shall be converted to Euros at the Euro Equivalent thereof based on the Spot Rate as of the Trigger Date, but only if any portion of such Euro Committed Loans is funded with a Euro Fronting Loan. Once converted to Euros pursuant to the foregoing sentence, such Euro Committed Loans shall be denominated in Euro for all purposes of this Agreement. After giving effect to such conversion, on the Trigger Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, Euro Funding Agent shall notify each Euro Non-Qualified Lender of its obligation to fund its participation in each applicable Euro Fronting Loan. Each applicable Euro Non-Qualified Lender shall make the amount of its participation in each applicable Euro Fronting Loan specified in such notice available to Euro Funding Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at Euro Funding Agent’s Office for payments in the same currency as the applicable Euro Fronting Loan (after giving effect to the conversion described above in this clause (i)) not later than 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Business Day specified in such notice. The applicable Borrower shall indemnify each applicable Agent and Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Agent or Lender in connection with any conversion of Euro Committed Loans pursuant to this clause (i), together with any amounts owed pursuant to Section 7.5.
(ii) To the extent that a Euro Non-Qualified Lender that has a risk participation in a Euro Fronting Loan assigns all or part of its interest in such risk participation under Section 14.6 to a Euro Qualified Lender for purposes of such Euro Fronting Loan, then such Euro Qualified Lender shall make the amount of its assigned participation in such Euro Fronting Loan available to Euro Funding Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at Euro Funding Agent’s Office for payments in the same currency as the applicable Euro Fronting Loan not later than 1:00 p.m., Brussels time, on the third Business Day following the effective date of the assignment.
(b) If any applicable Euro Lender fails to make available to any Fronting Lender any amount required to be paid by such Euro Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2.3 by the time specified in Section 3.2.3(a), such Fronting Lender shall be entitled to
-69-
recover from such Euro Lender (acting through Euro Funding Agent), on demand, such amount in the same currency as the applicable Euro Fronting Loan with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Fronting Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of a Fronting Lender submitted to any applicable Euro Lender (through Euro Funding Agent) with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c) Each applicable Euro Lender’s obligation to purchase and fund risk participations in Euro Fronting Loans pursuant to this Section 3.2.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Euro Lender may have against the applicable Fronting Lender, any Euro Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Euro Borrower to repay any Fronting Lender, together with interest as provided herein.
(d) At any time after any Euro Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Euro Fronting Loan, if the applicable Fronting Lender receives any payment on account of such Euro Fronting Loan, such Fronting Lender will distribute to such Euro Lender such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Euro Lender’s participation was funded) in the same funds and currency as those received by such Fronting Lender.
(e) If any payment received by any Fronting Lender (and paid to a Euro Lender) in respect of principal of or interest on any Euro Fronting Loan is required to be returned by such Fronting Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 14.5 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Fronting Lender in its discretion), such Euro Lender shall pay to such Fronting Lender in the applicable currency of such Euro Fronting Loan the amount of such payment in respect of such Euro Fronting Loan on demand of Euro Funding Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. Euro Funding Agent will make such demand upon the request of the applicable Fronting Lender. The obligations of the applicable Euro Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 3.2.4 Payments for Account of the Applicable Fronting Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, until the applicable Euro Lender funds its risk participation pursuant to this Section 3.2 to refinance such Euro Lender’s applicable Euro Fronting Loan, all payments made hereunder in respect of the portion of any Euro Committed Loan that was funded in part by a Fronting Lender shall be solely for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender.
Section 3.2.5 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall be required to make a Euro Fronting Loan with respect to which there is a Euro Non-Qualified Lender that is a Defaulting Lender at the time of the receipt by Euro Funding Agent of the applicable Euro Committed Loan Notice or at any time prior to the funding of such Euro Fronting
-70-
Loan. In addition, to the extent (a) a Euro Fronting Loan is outstanding, (b) a Euro Non-Qualified Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and (c) the applicable Fronting Lender makes a demand for repayment to the applicable Euro Borrower, then such Euro Borrower shall repay such Euro Fronting Loan (i) on or before the earlier of (A) 30 days following receipt of such demand or (B) the fifth day following the last day of the applicable Interest Period ending after receipt of such demand or (ii) if no Interest Period is in effect with respect to such Euro Fronting Loan, within ten days following receipt of such demand. If any such Euro Fronting Loan is not repaid in full on the last day of an Interest Period (if applicable or required under clause (i)(B) above), subject to Section 6.4.2, such Euro Fronting Loan shall bear interest at the Money Market Rate plus the Applicable Margin until such payment is made hereunder.
Section 3.3 Euro Committed Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Euro Committed Loans.
Section 3.3.1 Procedures for Euro Committed Borrowings. Each Euro Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Euro Committed Loans from one Type to the other and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, as applicable, shall be made upon the requesting Euro Borrower’s irrevocable written notice to Euro Funding Agent. Each such notice must be received by Euro Funding Agent not later than (a) 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Euro Committed Borrowing of, or continuation of, Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or Daily Floating XXXXX Rate Loans, (b) 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Euro Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Rate Loans and (c) 1:00 p.m. Brussels time, one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Euro Committed Borrowing of, or conversion to, Daily Simple SOFR Loans.

Each Euro Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans and each Euro Committed Borrowing of Daily Floating Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount permitted by Section 6.1.1. Each Euro Committed Loan Notice shall be in writing and shall specify (i) the jurisdiction of the applicable Euro Borrower and whether such Borrower is a Foreign Borrower, (ii) whether the applicable Euro Borrower is requesting a Euro Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Euro Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, (iii) the requested date of the Euro Committed Borrowing or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the principal amount of Euro Committed Loans to be borrowed or continued, (v) the Type of Euro Committed Loans to be borrowed, (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vii) the currency of the Euro Committed Loans to be borrowed or continued. If the requesting Euro Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Euro Committed Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Committed Loans so requested shall be made in Euro. If the requesting Euro Borrower fails to specify a Type of Euro Committed Loan in a Euro Committed Loan Notice or if the requesting Euro Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Euro Committed Loans shall be made as Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, as applicable, with an Interest Period of one month or Daily Floating XXXXX Rate Loans (if the requested currency is Sterling) or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, as applicable, in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. If the requesting Euro Borrower requests a Euro Committed Borrowing of, or continuation
-71-
of, Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans in any such Euro Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Except as provided in Section 7.3, no Euro Committed Loan may be continued as a Euro Committed Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such Euro Committed Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
Section 3.3.2 Funding of Euro Committed Loans. Following receipt of a Euro Committed Loan Notice, Euro Funding Agent shall promptly notify each Euro Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Applicable Tranche Percentage of the applicable Euro Committed Borrowings, and if no timely notice of a continuation is provided by the applicable Euro Borrower, Euro Funding Agent shall notify each Euro Lender of the details of any automatic continuations, in each case as described in Section 3.3.1. In the case of a Euro Committed Borrowing, each Euro Qualified Lender and the applicable Fronting Lender, if any, shall make the amount of its Euro Committed Loan available to Euro Funding Agent in Same Day Funds at Euro Funding Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, in the case of any Euro Committed Loan denominated in Euro or Sterling, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by Euro Funding Agent in the case of any Euro Committed Loan in an Alternative Currency, other than Sterling, under the Euro Tranche, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Euro Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (and, if such Euro Committed Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 8.1), Euro Funding Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Euro Borrower in like funds as received by Euro Funding Agent either by (a) crediting the account of such Euro Borrower on the books of Euro Funding Agent with the amount of such funds or (b) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Euro Funding Agent by such Euro Borrower; provided that if, on the date a Euro Committed Loan Notice, with respect to a Euro Committed Borrowing denominated in Euro or Sterling is given by the requesting Euro Borrower, such Borrower has outstanding Euro L/C Borrowings denominated in such currency of such Borrowing, then the proceeds of such Euro Committed Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of such Euro L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the requesting Euro Borrower as provided above.
Section 3.3.3 Certain Continuations and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan and a Term SOFR Rate Loan may be continued only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan or Term SOFR Rate Loan, as applicable. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Euro Required Lenders may at their option, by notice to the Euro Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of Euro Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 14.1) declare that no Euro Loans may be requested or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, other than as Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, as applicable, with an Interest Period of one month.
Section 3.3.4 Notice of Rates. Euro Funding Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Euro Borrower and Euro Lender of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans and Term SOFR Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.
-72-

Section 3.4 Euro Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a) each Euro L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of Euro Lenders set forth in this Section 3.4 and Article V, (i) from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period, to issue Euro Letters of Credit denominated in Euro or Sterling for the account of any Euro Borrower or any Eligible Affiliate, and to amend or extend Euro Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 5.2, and (ii) to honor drawings under the applicable Euro Letters of Credit; and (b) Euro Lenders severally agree to participate in Euro Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Euro Borrower or any Eligible Affiliates and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any Euro L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Euro Letter of Credit, (x) the Euro Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Euro Aggregate Commitments, (y) the Euro Credit Exposure of any Euro Lender shall not exceed such Euro Lender’s Euro Commitment and (z) the Euro Outstanding Amount of the Euro L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Euro Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, any Euro Borrower’s ability to obtain Euro Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly each Euro Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Euro Letters of Credit to replace Euro Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Euro Existing Letters of Credit that were originally issued for the account of a Person that is not a Euro Borrower shall, immediately upon the effectiveness hereof, be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto for the account of the applicable Euro Borrower identified as the “Account Obligor” on Schedule 2.4(b) (which Euro Borrower hereby assumes all Euro L/C Obligations with respect to such Euro Existing Letter of Credit), and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.
Section 3.5 Euro Swing Line Loans.
Section 3.5.1 The Euro Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Euro Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Euro Lenders set forth in this Section 3.5, to make loans in Euro or Sterling (each such loan, a “Euro Swing Line Loan”) to any Domestic Borrower under the Euro Tranche from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Euro Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Euro Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Tranche Percentage of the Euro Outstanding Amount of Euro Committed Loans and Euro L/C Obligations of Euro Lender acting as Euro Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Euro Lender’s Euro Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Euro Swing Line Loan, (i) the Euro Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Euro Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the Euro Credit Exposure of any Euro Lender shall not exceed such Euro Lender’s Euro Commitment, and provided, further, that no Euro Borrower shall use the proceeds of any Euro Swing Line Loan to refinance any other outstanding Euro Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, each Euro Borrower may borrow under this Section 3.5, prepay under Section 3.6 and reborrow under this Section 3.5. Each Euro Swing Line Loan shall be a Money Market Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Euro Swing Line Loan, each Euro Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Euro Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Euro Swing Line Loan in an amount
-73-
equal to the product of such Euro Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage times the amount of such Euro Swing Line Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Euro Swing Line Loan shall be made to any Foreign Borrower under the Euro Tranche and (ii) Euro Swing Line Lender shall have no obligation to make any Euro Swing Line Loan if any Euro Lender has failed to fund any amount required under Section 3.5.3, unless such failure has been cured, or is at the time of making any Euro Swing Line Loan a Defaulting Lender, unless Euro Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to Euro Swing Line Lender, in its sole discretion, with the applicable Borrower or such Euro Lender to eliminate Euro Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to such Euro Lender.
Section 3.5.2 Borrowing Procedures. Each Euro Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the requesting Euro Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Euro Swing Line Lender and Euro Funding Agent, which may only be given by written notice. Each such notice must be received by Euro Swing Line Lender and Euro Funding Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (a) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of EUR 500,000 for a Euro denominated Euro Swing Line Loan and £500,000 for a Sterling denominated Euro Swing Line Loan and (b) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such written Euro Swing Line Loan Notice shall be appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the requesting Euro Borrower. Promptly after receipt by Euro Swing Line Lender of any written Euro Swing Line Loan Notice, Euro Swing Line Lender will confirm with Euro Funding Agent (by telephone or in writing) that it has also received such Euro Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, Euro Swing Line Lender will notify Euro Funding Agent (in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless Euro Swing Line Lender has received notice (in writing) from Global Administrative Agent, Euro Funding Agent (including at the request of any Euro Lender) or any Credit Party prior to 2:00 p.m. (Brussels time) on the date of the proposed Euro Swing Line Borrowing (i) directing Euro Swing Line Lender not to make such Euro Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 3.5.1 or (ii) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article VIII is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Euro Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Brussels time) on the borrowing date specified in such Euro Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Euro Swing Line Loan available to the requesting Euro Borrower.
Section 3.5.3 Refinancing of Euro Swing Line Loans.
(a) Euro Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the applicable Euro Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes Euro Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Euro Lender make a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month denominated in Euro or Sterling, as applicable, in an amount equal to such Euro Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of the amount of the Euro Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Euro Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.3, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Euro Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 8.2. Euro Swing Line Lender shall furnish to such Euro Borrower with a copy of the applicable Euro Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to Euro Funding Agent. To the extent that the Euro Swing Line Loan is denominated in Sterling and there are Euro Non-Qualified Lenders with respect to Sterling, then
-74-
Euro Funding Agent may elect a Fronting Lender in accordance with Section 3.2. Furthermore, to the extent that there are no available Fronting Lenders, then such Euro Swing Line Loan shall be converted to Euro based on the Euro Equivalent amount of such Euro Swing Line Loan and refinanced as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in Euro with an Interest Period of one month. Each Euro Qualified Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Tranche Percentage of the amount specified in such Euro Committed Loan Notice available to Euro Funding Agent, and the applicable Fronting Lender, if any, shall make available the Euro Fronting Loan in accordance with Section 3.2, in each case in Same Day Funds for the account of Euro Swing Line Lender at Euro Funding Agent’s Office for Euro or Sterling denominated payments, as applicable, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Brussels time) on the day specified in such Euro Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 3.5.3(b), each Euro Lender and each Fronting Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month to such Euro Borrower in such amount and in Euro or Sterling, as applicable. Euro Funding Agent shall remit the funds so received to Euro Swing Line Lender.
(b) If for any reason any Euro Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Euro Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 3.5.3(a), the request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month submitted by Euro Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by Euro Swing Line Lender that each Euro Lender fund its risk participation in the relevant Euro Swing Line Loan; provided that to the extent that a Euro Swing Line Loan is denominated in Sterling and there are Euro Non-Qualified Lenders with respect to Sterling, then the aggregate amount of the Euro Swing Line Loan shall be converted to Euro based on the Euro Equivalent amount of such Euro Swing Line Loan and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month, and each Euro Lender shall make a payment in satisfaction of its participation obligations under this Section 3.5.3 in Euro. Each Euro Lender’s payment to Euro Funding Agent for the account of Euro Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 3.5.3(a) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(c) If any Euro Lender fails to make available directly to Euro Funding Agent or purchase a risk participation in the applicable Euro Fronting Loan for the account of Euro Swing Line Lender any amount (the “Unfunded Euro Swing Line Amount”) required to be paid by such Euro Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5.3 by the time specified in Section 3.5.3(a), (i) Euro Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Euro Lender (acting through Euro Funding Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to Euro Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, the Unfunded Euro Swing Line Amount shall become due and payable on the date specified in Section 6.3(b)(i). A certificate of Euro Swing Line Lender submitted to any Euro Lender (through Euro Funding Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Each Euro Lender’s obligation to make Euro Committed Loans, to purchase risk participations in Euro Fronting Loans pursuant to this Section 3.5.3 or to purchase and fund risk participations in Euro Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 3.5.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Euro Lender may have against Euro Swing Line Lender, any Euro Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or
-75-
continuance of a Default or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Euro Lender’s obligation to make Euro Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 3.5.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8.2. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Euro Borrower to repay Euro Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
Section 3.5.4 Repayment of Participations.
(a) At any time after any Euro Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Euro Swing Line Loan, if Euro Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Euro Swing Line Loan, Euro Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Euro Lender its Applicable Tranche Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Euro Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by Euro Swing Line Lender.
(b) If any payment received by Euro Swing Line Lender in respect of principal of or interest on any Euro Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by Euro Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 14.5 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Euro Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Euro Lender shall pay to Euro Swing Line Lender its Applicable Tranche Percentage thereof on demand of Euro Funding Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. Euro Funding Agent will make such demand upon the request of Euro Swing Line Lender. The obligations of Euro Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 3.5.5 Interest for Account of Euro Swing Line Lender. Euro Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the applicable Euro Borrowers for interest on the Euro Swing Line Loans. Until a Euro Lender funds its Euro Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to Section 3.5.3 to refinance such Euro Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of any Euro Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Euro Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage shall be solely for the account of Euro Swing Line Lender.
Section 3.5.6 Payments Directly to Euro Swing Line Lender. Each Euro Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Euro Swing Line Loans directly to Euro Swing Line Lender.
Section 3.6 Euro Prepayments.
Section 3.6.1 Prepayments of Committed Loans. Each Euro Borrower may, upon notice to Euro Funding Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Euro Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be in a form acceptable to Euro Funding Agent and be received by Euro Funding Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, (i) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, Daily Floating XXXXX Rate Loans, TONAR Rate Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans, (ii) two Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Euro, (iii) one Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans; and (iv) on the date of
-76-

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Euro Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of the applicable Loans. Euro Funding Agent will promptly notify each Euro Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Euro Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by such Euro Borrower, then such Euro Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan or Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amount required pursuant to Section 7.5. Subject to Sections 3.2.4 and 6.8.3, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Euro Committed Loans of Euro Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.
Section 3.6.2 Prepayments of Swing Line Loans. The applicable Euro Borrower may, upon notice to Euro Swing Line Lender (with a copy to Euro Funding Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay any Euro Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be received by Euro Swing Line Lender and Euro Funding Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the date of the prepayment, and (b) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of EUR 500,000 for Euro denominated Euro Swing Line Loans and £500,000 for Sterling denominated Swing Line Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by such Euro Borrower, such Euro Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
Section 3.6.3 Prepayments Due to Currency Fluctuations. Euro Funding Agent shall calculate the Euro Equivalent of the Euro Total Outstandings (but only with respect to Euro Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency) on each Revaluation Date. If on the Revaluation Date that occurs on the first Business Day of each calendar month, on the last day of an Interest Period or such other times as Euro Funding Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion, such calculation reflects that, as of such Revaluation Date, the Euro Equivalent of the Euro Total Outstandings exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Euro Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then, within five Business Days after notice of such calculation from Euro Funding Agent to Prologis, Euro Borrowers shall prepay the Euro Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the Euro L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Euro Equivalent of such Euro Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Euro Aggregate Commitments then in effect, provided that solely for purposes of measuring compliance with this Section 3.6.3, the amount of Cash Collateral delivered to Euro Funding Agent under this Section 3.6.3 shall be deemed to have reduced the Euro Total Outstandings. Subject to Section 3.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Euro Committed Loans of Euro Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.
-77-
Section 3.6.4 Other Prepayments. If, on any date other than the Maturity Date, the Euro Equivalent of the Euro Total Outstandings exceeds the Euro Aggregate Commitments then in effect and such excess is not due to a currency exchange fluctuation covered under Section 3.6.3, then, within two Business Days after notice from Euro Funding Agent to Prologis, Euro Borrowers shall prepay the Euro Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the Euro L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Euro Equivalent of such Euro Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed the Euro Aggregate Commitments then in effect, without regard to any minimum or multiples specified in Section 6.1.2 with respect to prepayments. Subject to Section 3.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Euro Committed Loans of Euro Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

(d) Subject only to the provisions of Sections 7.2, 7.3 and 8.2 and clause (c) above, each Euro Competitive Bid shall be irrevocable.

Section 3.7.6 Procedure for Identical Bids.

If any Euro Bid Borrowing is to consist of Euro Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans, Euro Funding Agent (a) shall determine the Eurocurrency Rate for the relevant Interest Period and (b) promptly after making such determination, shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Euro Lenders that will be participating in such Euro Bid Borrowing of such Eurocurrency Rate.
Section 3.7.9 Funding of Euro Bid Loans. Each Euro Lender that has received notice pursuant to Section 3.7.7 that all or a portion of its Euro Competitive Bid has been accepted by the applicable Borrower shall make the amount of its Euro Bid Loan(s) available to Euro Funding Agent in immediately available funds at Euro Funding Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m., Applicable Time, on the date of the requested Euro Bid Borrowing.

Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of any Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the applicable Funding Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the applicable Funding Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Applicable Time, at least three Business Days (or, in each case, such later date and time as such L/C Issuer and such Funding Agent may both agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (g) in the case of a request for a U.S. Letter of Credit or a Euro Letter of Credit, the applicable currency thereof; and (h) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the requesting Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the
-82-
applicable Funding Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C Issuer or Funding Agent may reasonably require.
Section 5.2.2 Issuance Procedures. Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the applicable Funding Agent (by telephone or in writing) that such Funding Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the requesting Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide such Funding Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such L/C Issuer has received written notice from Global Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agent or any Credit Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article VIII shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the requesting Borrower (or the applicable Eligible Affiliate) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Applicable Tranche Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
Section 5.2.3 Auto-Extension Letters of Credit. If any Borrower so requests in a Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each 12 month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such 12 month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Applicable Tranche Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (a) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a) or Section 5.1.1(b) or otherwise), or (b) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from Global Administrative Agent or the applicable Funding Agent, that the applicable Tranche Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from Global Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agent or any Credit Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 8.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
Section 5.2.4 Notice of Issuance. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the applicable Funding Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

Section 5.3 Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
Section 5.3.1 Procedures Upon Drawing. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower and the applicable Funding Agent thereof. Not later than 10:00 a.m., Applicable Time, on the date of any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the applicable Funding Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing; provided that, with respect to a U.S. Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the U.S. L/C Issuer in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing. If the applicable Borrower fails to so reimburse an L/C Issuer by such time, the applicable Funding Agent shall promptly notify each Applicable Tranche Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and the amount of such Applicable Tranche Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage thereof. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of the Specified Type (as defined below) to be disbursed on the first Business Day after the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified elsewhere in this Agreement for the principal amount of a Committed Borrowing, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Tranche Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). To the extent that any Unreimbursed Amount under the Euro Tranche is in Sterling and there are Euro Non-Qualified Lenders with respect to Sterling, then Euro Funding Agent may elect a Fronting Lender in accordance with Section 3.2 on behalf of the applicable Euro Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes Euro Funding Agent to so elect on its behalf); provided that to the extent that there are no available Fronting Lenders, then such portion of the Unreimbursed Amount shall be converted to Euro based on the Euro Equivalent amount of such portion and refinanced as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in Euro with an Interest Period of one month. Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or a Funding Agent pursuant to this Section 5.3.1 may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. For purposes of the foregoing, “Specified Type” means (a) with respect to the U.S. Tranche, Base Rate Loans; and (b) with respect to the Euro Tranche, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month.
Section 5.3.2 Reimbursement via Committed Borrowing. Each Applicable Tranche Lender (or, in the case of a Euro Letter of Credit, each Euro Qualified Lender and each applicable Fronting Lender) shall upon receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 5.3.1 make funds available to the applicable Funding Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, in the applicable currency of the applicable Letter of Credit, at such Funding Agent’s Office in an amount equal to each such Applicable Tranche Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage (or, in the case of a Euro Letter of Credit, each Euro Qualified Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage and each applicable Fronting Lender’s Euro Fronting Loan) of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 12:00 noon, Applicable Time, on the Business Day specified in such notice by such Funding Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 5.3.3, each Applicable Tranche Lender (or in the case of a Euro Letter of Credit, the Euro Qualified Lender and the Fronting Lender) that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Committed Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The applicable Funding Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.
-84-
Section 5.3.3 L/C Borrowings. With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest), in the currency in which payment was made under the applicable Letter of Credit (or with respect to a U.S. Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, in Dollars) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the applicable Specified Type; provided that to the extent that a Euro L/C Borrowing is in Sterling and there are Euro Non-Qualified Lenders with respect to Sterling, then the aggregate amount of the Euro L/C Borrowing shall be converted to Euro based on the Euro Equivalent amount of such Euro L/C Borrowing and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month. In such event, each applicable Lender’s payment to the applicable Funding Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 5.3.3 shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 5.3. For the avoidance of doubt, any Committed Borrowing, L/C Borrowing or L/C Advance with respect to a U.S. Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be made in Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent amount thereof.
Section 5.3.4 Interest Prior to Lender Payments. Until an Applicable Tranche Lender (and, in the case of the Euro Tranche, a Fronting Lender) funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 5.3 to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of the Committed Loan or L/C Advance to be made by such Applicable Tranche Lender (or such Fronting Lender) shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.
Section 5.3.5 Lender Obligations Unconditional. Each Applicable Tranche Lender’s (and, if applicable, Fronting Lender’s) obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances or to purchase risk participations in Fronting Loans in order to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 5.3, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (a) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, any Borrower, any Eligible Affiliate or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (c) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each such Person’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 5.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (other than delivery by the applicable Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
Section 5.3.6 Interest on Overdue Amounts. If any Applicable Tranche Lender (or, in the case of the Euro Tranche, Fronting Lender) fails to make available directly to the applicable
-85-
Funding Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender (or Fronting Lender) pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 by the time specified in Section 5.3.2, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Person (acting through the applicable Funding Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of an L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the applicable Funding Agent) with respect to any amount owing under this Section 5.3.6 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 5.4 Repayment of Participations.
Section 5.4.1 Payments by L/C Issuers. At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Applicable Tranche Lender (or, in the case of the Euro Tranche, any Fronting Lender) such Person’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 5.3, if the applicable Funding Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral of the applicable Tranche applied thereto by the applicable Funding Agent), the applicable Funding Agent will distribute to such Applicable Tranche Lender (or Fronting Lender) its Applicable Tranche Percentage (or other appropriate percentage) thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Person’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the applicable Funding Agent.
Section 5.4.2 Disgorgement. If any payment received by the applicable Funding Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 5.4.1 is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 14.5 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Applicable Tranche Lender (and, in the case of the Euro Tranche, each Fronting Lender) shall pay to the applicable Funding Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Tranche Percentage (or other appropriate percentage) thereof on demand of the applicable Funding Agent (in each case in the currency in which such payment originally was made), plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Applicable Tranche Lender (or Fronting Lender), at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.
Section 5.4.3 Survival. The obligations of the Lenders, the Funding Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Fronting Lenders under this Section 5.4 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 5.5 Borrower Obligations Absolute. The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer for the account of such Borrower and to repay each L/C Borrowing incurred by such Borrower shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
-86-
(b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or any Eligible Affiliate may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(d) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(e) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any Eligible Affiliate.
Each Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will promptly notify such L/C Issuer. Each Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against any L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
Section 5.6 Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no L/C Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. No L/C Issuer or Agent or any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (a) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of all Lenders, all Applicable Tranche Lenders, the applicable Tranche Required Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (b) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction); or (c) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at
-87-
law or under any other agreement. No L/C Issuer or Agent or any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 5.5; provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to indirect, consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which it proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
Section 5.7 Cash Collateral.

Upon the request of the applicable Funding Agent or Required Lenders (for purposes of clause (a) below) or the applicable Tranche Required Lenders (for purposes of clause (b) below), (a) during the existence of an Event of Default or (b) if, as of the Maturity Date, any L/C Obligations under the Available Tranches for any reason remains outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall, in each case, promptly Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations of such Borrower under each applicable Available Tranche, in each case in the same currency as the applicable L/C Obligations.
Section 5.7.2 Cash Collateral and Defaulting Lender.

If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.7.2, such Cash Collateral shall be released and promptly returned to such Borrower from time to time to the extent the amount deposited shall exceed the Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of the L/C Obligations under such Tranche or if such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender.
Section 5.7.3 Lien on Cash Collateral. Each Borrower hereby grants to the Funding Agent for the Tranche with respect to which Cash Collateral is being delivered a lien on and security interest in all such cash, all deposit accounts into which such cash is deposited, all balances in such accounts and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts with the applicable Funding Agent.

The accounts or records maintained by each Funding Agent and each Lender shall be
-96-
rebuttable presumptive evidence of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by Lenders to Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the applicable Funding Agent for its Tranche and the accounts and records of any Lender in such Tranche in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of such Funding Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
Section 6.7.2 Promissory Note. The provisions of this Section 6.7.2 constitute a promissory note for the benefit of each Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing:
(a) Each Borrower hereby promises, severally, but not jointly, to pay to each Applicable Tranche Lender, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the principal amount of each Loan of such Borrower from time to time made by such Applicable Tranche Lender to such Borrower. In addition, such Borrower promises severally, but not jointly, to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to such Borrower, from the date of such Loans until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates and at such times as provided in this Agreement.

In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the applicable Funding Agent for its Tranche and the accounts and records of any Lender in such Tranche in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of such Funding Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(g) Seventh, to (i) the payment of the unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings and (ii) the applicable Funding Agents to Cash Collateralize undrawn Letters of Credit, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts of such principal and undrawn Letters of Credit;
(h) Eighth, to the payment of all remaining unpaid Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts payable pursuant to this clause (h); and
(i) Last, the balance, if any, after payment in full of all Obligations of the applicable payor, to such payor or as otherwise required by Law.
Any amount used to Cash Collateralize undrawn Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (g) above shall be applied by the applicable Funding Agent to satisfy drawings under the applicable Letters of Credit as such drawings occur. If any amount remains on deposit with any Funding Agent as Cash Collateral after all applicable Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn, terminated or expired, the remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations of the applicable payor, if any, in the order set forth above.
Notwithstanding the above, if Prologis makes any payments, or there are recoveries from Prologis, during the existence of any Event of Default, then, if so elected by the Required Lenders, such payments or recoveries shall be applied to the Obligations under the Tranches as directed by the Required Lenders; provided that such application shall not affect the agreements set forth in Section 6.9.
Section 6.8.5 Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless the applicable Funding Agent shall have received notice from Global Administrative Agent or a Lender in the same Tranche as the Funding Agent prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to such Funding Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, such Funding Agent may assume that such Lender directly or through the applicable Fronting Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with the
-99-
requirements of the applicable Tranche and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available directly or through the applicable Fronting Lender to the applicable Funding Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to such Funding Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in the same currency and in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to the date of payment to such Funding Agent, at (a) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (b) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the applicable Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to such Funding Agent for the same or an overlapping period, such Funding Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing directly or through the applicable Fronting Lender to such Funding Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the applicable Funding Agent.
Section 6.8.6 Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Agents.
(a) Unless the applicable Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to such Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, such Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.
(b) With respect to any payment that the applicable Agent makes for the account of any Credit Party hereunder as to which such Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) such Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the applicable Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) such Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each applicable Credit Party severally agrees to repay to such Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Credit Party, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to such Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(c) A notice of the applicable Agent to any Credit Party or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 6.8.6 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Section 6.8.7 Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available directly or through the applicable Fronting Lender to the applicable Funding Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to any Borrower as provided in this Agreement, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower by such Agent because the conditions to such Loan set
-100-
forth in Article VIII are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, such Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, plus interest thereon from the date funds were made available to such Agent by such Lender to the date such amount is returned by such Agent to such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.
Section 6.8.8 Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit, Fronting Loans and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 14.4.3 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 14.4.3 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation (if any) to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Committed Loan, to purchase any such participation, or to make any payment under Section 14.4.3.
Section 6.8.9 Funding Source. Subject to Section 7.6.1, (a) each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
Section 6.9 Sharing of Payments.
Section 6.9.1 Sharing of Payments by Lenders in a Tranche. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it in a particular Tranche, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it in such Tranche, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest in such Tranche greater than its Applicable Tranche Percentage for such Tranche as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the applicable Funding Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans and Fronting Loans of the other Lenders in the same Tranche, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by Lenders in such Tranche ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them (directly or via participations) in such Tranche, provided that:
(x) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(y) the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (i) any payment made by a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, (ii)
-101-
any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or a subparticipation in L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans or Fronting Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Prologis or any Eligible Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply), (iii) any payment pursuant to Article VII, (iv) any payment made to a non-Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement that otherwise would have been made to a Defaulting Lender or (v) any Cash Collateral obtained by an L/C Issuer in connection with arrangements made to address the risk with respect to a Defaulting Lender.
Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
Section 6.9.2 Sharing of Payments by Tranches. If, at any time during the existence of any Trigger Event, the Lenders under any Tranche (a “Group”) shall obtain aggregate payments or other recoveries (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of principal of or interest on any Loan made, or principal of or interest on reimbursement obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit issued, under such Tranche in excess of such Group’s pro rata share (based on such Group’s percentage of the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all such obligations then owed to all Lenders hereunder) of all payments and other recoveries received by all Groups hereunder, then the Group receiving such excess payment (the “Benefitted Group”) shall immediately (a) purchase (for cash at face value, and based on each such Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage) participations in Obligations of the other Groups in order to cause the Benefitted Group to share the excess payment or recovery ratably with the other Groups and (b) pay such excess to (or as otherwise directed by) Global Administrative Agent, which shall distribute such excess to the Funding Agents for the other Groups, in order to effectuate such participations; provided that if all or any part of the payment or other recovery that gave rise to any such excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from the Benefitted Group, then each other Group shall repay to Global Administrative Agent for the account of the Benefitted Group the amount necessary to ensure that each Group receives its pro rata share of all such payments or other recoveries received by each Group. The obligation of each member of each Group to make its share of any payment required under this Section 6.9.2 shall be several, and not joint or joint and several, and after giving effect to any such payment each Group shall make such other adjustments as shall be appropriate under Section 6.9.1. The provisions of this Section 6.9.2 are solely for the benefit of the Lenders and are not for the benefit of (and may not be enforced by) any other Person. Global Administrative Agent, Funding Agents and Lenders may, without the consent of any Loan Party or any other Person, make arrangements among themselves to amend or otherwise modify this Section 6.9.2 and to establish different sharing arrangements with respect to payments and other recoveries hereunder; provided that any such amendment, modification or sharing arrangement shall be consented to by all Lenders affected thereby. If, at any time after Lenders have purchased participations pursuant to this Section 6.9.2, no Trigger Event exists, then Global Administrative Agent, Funding Agents and Lenders shall take all actions necessary to rescind all participations and subparticipations previously purchased pursuant to this Section 6.9.2.

Section 6.10 Extension of Maturity Date.
Section 6.10.1 Request for Extension. Not earlier than 180 days prior to, nor later than 30 days prior to, (a) the original Maturity Date, Prologis may, upon written notice to Global Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) and satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.10.2, extend the Maturity Date to December 30, 2026 (the “Extended Maturity Date”) and (b) the Extended Maturity Date, Prologis may, upon written notice to Global Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) and satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.10.2, extend the Maturity Date to June 30, 2027.
Section 6.10.2 Extension Procedures. Each extension of the Maturity Date contemplated by Section 6.10.1 shall become effective on the date (an “Extension Effective Date”) on which the following conditions precedent have been satisfied: (a) Global Administrative Agent shall have received the written notice referred to in Section 6.10.1 and (b) Prologis shall have paid to Global Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender, an extension fee in an amount equal to 0.0625% times such Lender’s Commitment, and Global Administrative Agent shall promptly remit such extension fee to each Lender upon receipt thereof; provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date on which such conditions are satisfied with respect to a proposed extension, the Extension Effective Date for such extension shall be the first date thereafter, if any, on or before the then-applicable Maturity Date on which no Event of Default is continuing. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 6.10.2 and the occurrence of an Extension Effective Date, Global Administrative Agent shall promptly confirm to Prologis and the Lenders such extension and such Extension Effective Date. The extension fee described above shall be payable in (i) Dollars with respect to U.S. Commitments, (ii) Dollars or, at Prologis’ option, Euros with respect to Euro Commitments, and (iii) Dollars or, at Prologis’ option, the applicable Primary Currency with respect to any Supplemental Commitments.
Section 6.11 Additional Affiliate Borrowers.
Section 6.11.1 Procedures for Adding Affiliate Borrowers. Prologis may, upon at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to Global Administrative Agent and the applicable Funding Agent (which shall promptly notify the Applicable Tranche Lenders) (or (x) such lesser period as may be agreed to by such Funding Agent or (y) such longer period as is determined by such Funding Agent to be reasonably necessary for the applicable parties to comply with any governmental or regulatory requirements), request that any Eligible Affiliate become an Affiliate Borrower by delivering the Organization Documents of such Eligible Affiliate to such Funding Agent (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent). At least five Business Days prior to an Eligible Affiliate becoming an Affiliate Borrower, Prologis shall deliver (i) the drafts of the documents referenced in clauses (b)(i) and (ii) below and (ii) a Beneficial Ownership Certification for each proposed Affiliate Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation to the applicable Funding Agent (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent). On or prior to the date on which an Eligible Affiliate becomes an Affiliate Borrower, Prologis shall deliver the following to Global Administrative Agent and the applicable Funding Agent (which shall promptly provide copies to the Applicable Tranche Lenders), in each case reasonably acceptable to such Funding Agent, (a) a Borrower Accession Agreement duly executed by Prologis and such Eligible Affiliate that will, among other things, designate the applicable Tranche under which such Eligible Affiliate will be an Affiliate Borrower (the “Requested Tranche”) and (b) the following documents relating to such Eligible Affiliate: (i) an
-103-
opinion of such Eligible Affiliate’s counsel reasonably acceptable to such Funding Agent (other than for Short Term Affiliate Borrowers and Property Fund Borrowers; provided that if any Property Fund Borrower has any outstanding Loans or L/C Obligations under this Agreement for 180 consecutive days, then such Borrower shall provide an opinion of such Borrower’s counsel reasonably acceptable to the applicable Funding Agent on or before the last day of such 180 day period); (ii) an officer’s certificate certifying (A) the Organization Documents of such Eligible Affiliate, (B) resolutions of such Eligible Affiliate’s Board of Directors or other governing body authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, certified as being in full force and effect without modification or amendment, and (C) signatures and incumbency of officers of such Eligible Affiliate or, with respect to any proposed Affiliate Borrower which is organized under the Laws of Japan, (x) a certificate of seal and a certificate of full registry records both of which have been issued by the competent legal affairs bureau within three months before the date of such officer’s certificate and (y) a seal registration form; (iii) certificates of existence and good standing for such Eligible Affiliate issued by its state of organization or the equivalent certificates, if any, from the applicable Governmental Authorities for any Eligible Affiliate organized outside of the U.S.; and (iv) any additional information regarding such Eligible Affiliate that the applicable Funding Agent or any Applicable Tranche Lender may reasonably request under Section 14.16 or 14.17, or otherwise. Upon receipt by the applicable Funding Agent of the items referenced in this Section 6.11, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Funding Agent and its counsel, and subject to Section 6.11.3, such Eligible Affiliate shall become an Affiliate Borrower under the Requested Tranche and assume all the rights, benefits and obligations of an Affiliate Borrower under such Requested Tranche unless on such date a Default exists and is continuing or would occur as a result of such Eligible Affiliate becoming an Affiliate Borrower. Furthermore, the applicable Funding Agent shall promptly notify each Applicable Tranche Lender of the addition of any Affiliate Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.11.1.
Section 6.11.2 Existing Borrowers. Prologis may, upon at least 15 days’ prior written notice to the applicable Funding Agent (which shall promptly notify the Applicable Tranche Lenders) (or (x) such lesser period as may be agreed to by such Funding Agent or (y) such longer period as is determined by such Funding Agent to be reasonably necessary for the applicable parties to comply with any governmental or regulatory requirements), request that any existing Borrower under one Tranche become Borrower under a different Tranche. On or prior to the date on which such existing Borrower becomes a Borrower under a different Tranche, Prologis shall deliver the following to such Funding Agent (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent), in each case reasonably acceptable to such Funding Agent, (a) a Borrower Accession Agreement duly executed by Prologis and such existing Borrower that will, among other things, designate the applicable Tranche under which such existing Borrower will also become a Borrower (the “Additional Tranche”) and (b) any information regarding such existing Borrower that the applicable Funding Agent or any Applicable Tranche Lender may reasonably request under Section 14.16 or 14.17, or otherwise. Upon receipt by the applicable Funding Agent of the items referenced in this Section 6.11.2, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Funding Agent and its counsel, and subject to Section 6.11.3, such existing Borrower shall become a Borrower under the Additional Tranche unless on such date a Default exists or would occur as a result of such existing Borrower becoming a Borrower under the Tranche. Furthermore, the applicable Funding Agent shall promptly notify each Applicable Tranche Lender of the addition of a Borrower under an Additional Tranche pursuant to this Section 6.11.2.
-104-
Section 6.11.3 Limitations. In addition to the conditions set forth in Sections 6.11.1 and 6.11.2, to the extent applicable, neither (a) an Eligible Affiliate that would qualify as a Foreign Borrower under the Requested Tranche in which it would be a Borrower, nor (b) an existing Borrower under one Tranche that would otherwise qualify as Foreign Borrower under the Additional Tranche, may be a Borrower under such Requested Tranche or Additional Tranche, as applicable, unless the applicable Funding Agent is reasonably satisfied that the addition of such Eligible Affiliate or existing Borrower to such Requested Tranche or Additional Tranche, as applicable, will not (i) violate any Laws, (ii) materially impair the ability of Applicable Tranche Lenders to assign their Commitments or Loans under such Requested Tranche or Additional Tranche, as applicable, or (iii) have any other material adverse effect on the Applicable Tranche Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 6.11.3 (other than clause (i) above) shall not be conditions to an Eligible Affiliate that is organized under the Laws of a Participating Member State becoming a Euro Borrower. Upon the delivery of a notice by the applicable Funding Agent of a request by Prologis to add an Eligible Affiliate as a Borrower or to add an existing Borrower to an Additional Tranche pursuant to Section 6.11.1 or 6.11.2, as applicable, each Applicable Tranche Lender shall promptly notify the applicable Funding Agent if adding such additional Borrower would be subject to any of the foregoing limitations.
Section 6.11.4 Qualification Status. Upon the delivery of a notice by the applicable Funding Agent of a request by Prologis to add an Eligible Affiliate as a Borrower or to add an existing Borrower to an Additional Tranche pursuant to Section 6.11.1 or 6.11.2, as applicable, the applicable Funding Agent shall request that each Applicable Tranche Lender represent and warrant to Prologis and Funding Agent as to whether such Applicable Tranche Lender is capable of making a Committed Loan to such Eligible Affiliate without the imposition of any withholding taxes. Each Lender agrees that it shall respond to any such request within three Business Days; provided that if an Applicable Tranche Lender does not respond within the required time period, then the applicable Funding Agent may deem such Applicable Tranche Lender to be unable to make a Committed Loan to such Eligible Affiliate without the imposition of a withholding tax. Furthermore, Global Administrative Agent may revise Annex 2 to the Assignment and Assumption reflecting a new Borrower or the addition of a Borrower to an Additional Tranche.
Section 6.12 Reallocation of Commitments.
Section 6.12.1 Reallocation Procedures. Prologis may, from time to time during the Availability Period, by written notice to Global Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent for each affected Tranche (a “Reallocation Notice”), increase the Aggregate Tranche Commitment under one Available Tranche with a corresponding reduction of the Aggregate Tranche Commitment under a different Available Tranche by (a) utilizing the Pre-Approved Reallocations of certain Lenders (each a “Pre-Approved Lender”) or (b) with the consent of Global Administrative Agent, each applicable Funding Agent and each applicable Fronting Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, reallocating the Commitment of any Lender (each an “Allocating Lender”), subject to the following conditions:
(A) at the time of such Reallocation Notice, Prologis specifies which Available Tranche shall be increased and which Available Tranche shall be decreased, and whether any Pre-Approved Reallocation shall be utilized in such reallocation;
-105-
(B) the amount of the increase in an Available Tranche shall be equal to the Foreign Currency Equivalent amount of the corresponding decrease in the other Available Tranche;
(C) each Allocating Lender and Pre-Approved Lender satisfies the requirements of an Eligible Qualified Institution under the Available Tranche in which the Aggregate Tranche Commitment is being increased;
(D) each Allocating Lender acknowledges in writing to Global Administrative Agent and Prologis that it has agreed that its Commitment will be reallocated hereunder (which acknowledgment shall be made in such Lender’s sole discretion); provided that a Pre-Approved Reallocation shall be effective without any further acceptances under this Section 6.12 by a Lender that has agreed to a Pre-Approved Reallocation;
(E) Prologis may make a maximum of one request per calendar quarter;
(F) no reduction in any Aggregate Tranche Commitment shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Tranche Outstandings under such Tranche would exceed the Aggregate Tranche Commitment under such Tranche;
(G) the amount of the increase or decrease in each applicable Aggregate Tranche Commitment shall not be less than a Dollar Equivalent amount of $5,000,000;
(H) no Default exists; and
(I) unless otherwise agreed among the applicable Funding Agent, the affected Lender and the applicable Borrowers (which agreement may include a phase-in of the applicable increase and/or Interest Periods with any agreed-upon length), the applicable Borrowers shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on the Reallocation Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 7.5) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans in the affected Available Tranches ratable with any revised Applicable Tranche Percentages arising from any nonratable increase or decrease in any Commitments of any Lenders under this Section 6.12.
Section 6.12.2 Effectiveness of Reallocation. Upon the request of Global Administrative Agent contemporaneously with any reallocation completed in accordance with Section 6.12.1, each Funding Agent of an affected Tranche shall provide to Global Administrative Agent a new Schedule 2.1 for its Tranche reflecting any proposed reallocation. In addition, Global Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agents and Prologis shall determine the effective date (the “Reallocation Effective Date”) of such reallocation; provided that any Pre-Approved Reallocations shall be effective no more than ten Business Days after the relevant Reallocation Notice, and Global Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Prologis and the affected Funding Agents of the Reallocation Effective Date. After any Reallocation Effective Date and the receipt
-106-
of a revised Schedule 2.1 (if requested by Global Administrative Agent) from each applicable Funding Agent, Global Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to each Lender in the affected Tranches and to Prologis a new Schedule 2.1 for the affected Tranches.
Section 6.12.3 Reallocation of Bid Loan Sublimits. Prologis may, from time to time during the Availability Period, by written notice to U.S. Funding Agent and Euro Funding Agent (a “Bid Loan Reallocation Notice”), (a) increase the U.S. Bid Loan Sublimit with a corresponding reduction of the Euro Bid Loan Sublimit or (b) increase the Euro Bid Loan Sublimit with a corresponding reduction of the U.S. Bid Loan Sublimit, in each case, subject to the following conditions:
(A) (i) the amount of the increase in the U.S. Bid Loan Sublimit shall be equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of the corresponding decrease in the Euro Bid Loan Sublimit and (ii) the amount of the increase in the Euro Bid Loan Sublimit shall be equal to the Euro Equivalent amount of the corresponding decrease in the U.S. Bid Loan Sublimit;
(B) Prologis may make a maximum of one request per calendar quarter;
(C) (i) no reduction in the U.S. Bid Loan Sublimit shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the outstanding U.S. Bid Loans shall exceed the U.S. Bid Loan Sublimit and (ii) no reduction in the Euro Bid Loan Sublimit shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the outstanding Euro Bid Loans shall exceed the Euro Bid Loan Sublimit;
(D) the amount of the increase or decrease shall not be less than a Dollar Equivalent amount of $5,000,000; and
(E) no Default exists.
Section 6.13 Increase in Commitments.
Section 6.13.1 Increase Procedures. From time to time after the Closing Date to the Maturity Date, Prologis may, by written request (an “Increase Request”) to Global Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents for each affected Tranche, increase any Aggregate Tranche Commitment by (a) admitting additional Lenders hereunder (each a “Subsequent Lender”) or (b) increasing the Commitment of any existing Lender (each an “Increasing Lender”), subject to the following conditions:
(a) at the time of such Increase Request, Prologis specifies its requested allocation of the requested increase in the Aggregate Tranche Commitments to each Tranche;
(b) each Subsequent Lender is an Eligible Qualified Institution;
(c) each Subsequent Lender executes and delivers to Global Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G, which may be modified to the extent that such Subsequent Lender will be party to a Supplemental Tranche (a copy of which Global Administrative Agent will deliver to each applicable Funding Agent);
-107-
(d) each Increasing Lender executes and delivers to Global Administrative Agent an increase certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H (a copy of which Global Administrative Agent will deliver to each applicable Funding Agent);
(e) the amount of all increases in the Aggregate Tranche Commitments pursuant to this Section 6.13 shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000,000 in the aggregate; it being understood that (1) in determining the aggregate increase amount for purposes of this clause (e), each increase amount shall equal the Dollar Equivalent amount of such increase amount as determined on the corresponding effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Tranche Commitments; and (2) after giving effect to each such increase, the Dollar Equivalent of the Aggregate Tranche Commitments shall not exceed $4,000,000,000 in the aggregate as determined on the applicable effective date of such increase;
(f) the Dollar Equivalent of each increase in the Aggregate Tranche Commitment shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as Global Administrative Agent may agree or shall result in the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all increases pursuant to this Section 6.13 being approximately $1,000,000,000);
(g) no admission of any Subsequent Lender shall increase the Commitment of any existing Lender, and the Commitment of any existing Lender shall not be increased, in each case, without the written consent of such Lender;
(h) no Default exists;
(i) unless otherwise agreed among the applicable Funding Agent, the affected Lenders and the applicable Borrowers (which agreement may include a phase-in of the applicable increase and/or Interest Periods with any agreed-upon length), the applicable Borrowers shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 7.5) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans in the affected Tranches ratable with any revised Applicable Tranche Percentages arising from any nonratable increase or decrease in any Commitments of any Lender under this Section 6.13; and
(j) at least five days prior to the Increase Effective Date, any Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation shall have delivered, to each Lender that so requests a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Borrower to the extent such Lender reasonably determines that it is required to obtain a Beneficial Ownership Certification pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
Section 6.13.2 Effectiveness of Increase. Upon the request of Global Administrative Agent, the Funding Agent of each affected Tranche shall provide to Global Administrative Agent a new Schedule 2.1 for such Tranche reflecting the Applicable Tranche Percentage of the Lenders under such Tranche after giving effect to the proposed increase pursuant to this Section 6.13. In addition, Global Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agents and Prologis shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) of each increase in an Aggregate Tranche Commitment under this Section 6.13, and Global Administrative Agent shall promptly
-108-
notify Prologis, the affected Funding Agents and each Lender of the Increase Effective Date. After the Increase Effective Date and receipt of a revised Schedule 2.1 (if requested by Global Administrative Agent) from each applicable Funding Agent, Global Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to each Lender and to Prologis a new Schedule 2.1.
Section 6.13.3 Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 6.9 or 14.1 to the contrary.
Section 6.14 Establishment of Supplemental Tranche.
Section 6.14.1 Supplemental Tranche Request. At the time of any Reallocation Notice under Section 6.12.1 or any Increase Request under Section 6.13, Prologis may from time to time request, with the same approval requirements of the Reallocation Notice or Increase Request, as applicable (each such request, a “Supplemental Tranche Request”), certain Lenders to provide a supplemental tranche for loans in which the primary currency of such supplemental tranche is not one of the currencies set forth in the definition of “Primary Currency” at the time of such Supplemental Tranche Request (each such new Tranche, a “Supplemental Tranche”).
Section 6.14.2 Supplemental Addendums. Each Supplemental Tranche Request shall be made in the form of an addendum substantially in the form of Exhibit E (a “Supplemental Addendum”) and sent to Global Administrative Agent and shall set forth (a) the proposed Primary Currency and Alternative Currencies of such Supplemental Tranche, (b) the proposed Supplemental Primary Location, (c) the proposed interest types and rates for such Supplemental Tranche, (d) the type and amount of any subfacilities of such Supplemental Tranche, (e) the proposed borrowers under such Tranche and (f) any other specific terms of such Supplemental Tranche that Prologis deems necessary; provided that the maturity date of Supplemental Loans shall not be later than the Maturity Date. Promptly after a Supplemental Tranche Request, Prologis shall, subject to the approval of Global Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint the proposed Funding Agent for such requested Supplemental Tranche.
Section 6.14.3 Conditions to Supplemental Tranche. As conditions precedent to the addition of a Supplemental Tranche to this Agreement, (a) (i) with respect to a Supplemental Tranche in connection with an Increase Request, each of the conditions set forth in Section 6.13 must be satisfied and there must be an increase in the Aggregate Tranche Commitments and (ii) with respect to a Supplemental Tranche in connection with a Reallocation Notice, each of the conditions set forth in Section 6.12 must be satisfied, (b) (i) with respect to a Supplemental Tranche in connection with an Increase Request, each Lender providing a commitment under the Supplemental Tranche must be an Increasing Lender or a Subsequent Lender and (ii) with respect to a Supplemental Tranche in connection with a Reallocation Notice, each Lender providing a commitment under the Supplemental Tranche must be an Allocating Lender, (c) each Lender providing a commitment under such Supplemental Tranche, the proposed Funding Agent for such Supplemental Tranche and Global Administrative Agent must execute the requested Supplemental Addendum, (d) each of the proposed borrowers under such Supplemental Tranche shall be an existing Borrower or shall have complied with Section 6.11 and (e) any other documents or certificates that shall be reasonably requested by Global Administrative Agent in connection with the addition of the Supplemental Tranche shall have been delivered to Global Administrative Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Global Administrative Agent.

Section 6.14.4 Effectiveness of Supplemental Tranche. If a Supplemental Tranche Request is accepted in accordance with this Section, Global Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agent and Prologis shall determine the effective date of such Supplemental Tranche (the “Supplemental Tranche Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Supplemental Tranche. Global Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute a revised Schedule 2.1 to each Lender reflecting such new Supplemental Tranche and notify each Lender of the Supplemental Tranche Effective Date.
Section 6.15 Defaulting Lenders.
Section 6.15.1 Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 14.1.
(b) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Global Administrative Agent or any Funding Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to any Funding Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 14.8) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Global Administrative Agent or such Funding Agent as follows: first, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Global Administrative Agent or any Funding Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the applicable L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Fronting Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by Global Administrative Agent or such Funding Agent or requested by the applicable L/C Issuer, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any applicable Letter of Credit; fourth, if Prologis so requests (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Global Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Global Administrative Agent and Prologis, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing to any applicable Lender, L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Fronting Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any such Lender, L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Fronting Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing to any Loan Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Loan Party against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of
-110-
the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Borrowing in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loan or L/C Borrowing was made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all applicable non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loan of, or L/C Borrowing owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.15.1(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents to the foregoing.
(c) Certain Fees. Such Defaulting Lender (i) shall be limited in its right to receive facility fees as provided in Section 6.5.1 and (ii) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 5.9.
(d) Reallocation of Applicable Tranche Percentages. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Applicable Tranche Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender in the applicable Tranche to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in the applicable Tranche shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the U.S. Tranche Commitment or Euro Tranche Commitment, as applicable, of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate U.S. Credit Exposure or Euro Credit Exposure, as applicable, of that Lender.
Section 6.15.2 Defaulting Lender Cure. If Prologis, Global Administrative Agent, each applicable Funding Agent, each applicable Swing Line Lender (if any), each applicable L/C Issuer and each applicable Fronting Lender agree in writing, each in their sole discretion, that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, Global Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Global Administrative Agent and/or the applicable Funding Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans and Fronting Loans of each applicable Tranche to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders of such Tranche in accordance with their Applicable Tranche Percentages (without giving effect to Section 6.15.1(d)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, subject to Section 14.18 and except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
-111-
Section 6.15.3 Notice of Determination of Defaulting Lender. Upon any determination by Global Administrative Agent or any Funding Agent that any Lender constitutes a Defaulting Lender, Global Administrative Agent or such Funding Agent, as applicable, shall promptly provide Prologis with notice of such determination; provided that any failure to so notify Prologis of such determination shall not have any effect on the status of such Lender as a Defaulting Lender.
ARTICLE VII
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
Section 7.1 Taxes.
Section 7.1.1 Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Loan Party shall be required by applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings in respect of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been made, (b) such Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings and (c) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. Each Loan Party shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of Global Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
Section 7.1.2 Indemnification by Loan Parties. The applicable Loan Party shall indemnify each Credit Party, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid or payable by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment made to such Credit Party by or on account of such Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Loan Party by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent), or by Global Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.
Section 7.1.3 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Loan Party shall deliver to Global Administrative Agent the original or a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Global Administrative Agent.
-112-
Section 7.1.4 Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is a resident for tax purposes (including in the case of the United States, a disregarded entity (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 of the Code) owned by a resident of the United States or other Person that is engaged in a trade or business in the United States or a qualified REIT subsidiary (as defined in Section 856(i) of the Code)) or is otherwise subject to tax, or any treaty to which any such jurisdiction is a party or which otherwise benefits such Lender, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Prologis (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Prologis or Global Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Prologis or Global Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Prologis or Global Administrative Agent as will enable Prologis or Global Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than the specific documentation set forth below) shall not be required if in a Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is a resident for tax purposes in the United States, engaged in the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, a disregarded entity (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 of the Code) owned by a resident of the United States, a qualified REIT subsidiary (as defined in Section 856(i) of the Code) or otherwise subject to tax in the United States, any U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Prologis and Global Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Prologis or Global Administrative Agent), duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax, and any Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Prologis and Global Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Prologis or Global Administrative Agent, but only if such Non-U.S. Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(a) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(b) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(c) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, a certificate substantially in the form as described in clause (d) below, Form W-9, or other certification documents, as applicable,
-113-
(d) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the applicable Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the applicable Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or
(e) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Prologis or Global Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
Without limiting the obligations of Lenders set forth above regarding delivery of certain forms and documents to establish each Lender’s status for U.S. withholding tax purposes, each Lender agrees promptly to deliver to Global Administrative Agent, each applicable Funding Agent or Prologis, as such Agent or Prologis shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such other documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authority under the Laws of any other jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Lender, as are required under such Laws to confirm such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender outside of the U.S. by Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in such other jurisdiction.
Each Lender shall promptly (i) notify Global Administrative Agent and each applicable Funding Agent of any change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption from or reduction of Taxes or Other Taxes, and (ii) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Law that any Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. Additionally, each Borrower shall promptly deliver to the applicable Credit Party, as such Credit Party shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Credit Party under such Laws in connection with any payment by such Credit Party of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction.
Section 7.1.5 Exemption Representation.
(a) Each Lender represents and warrants (such Lender’s “Exemption Representation”) to Borrowers that, as of the date of this Agreement or, in the case of a Person that becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, as of the date such Person becomes a party hereto (and, in the case of a Lender that agrees to make Loans under a Tranche, as of the date such agreement becomes effective), except as specified in writing (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) to Global Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agent and Prologis prior to the date of the applicable Exemption Representation, it is entitled to receive payments from each Borrower under each
-114-
Tranche with respect to which it has a commitment to make Loans without any reduction or withholding in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without any amount being required to be paid by any applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 7.1.2; provided that the Exemption Representation shall not apply to any withholding tax imposed at any time on payments made by or on behalf of a Foreign Obligor.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be obligated to pay any amount under this Section 7.1 to, or for the benefit of, any Lender to the extent that such amount would not have been required to be paid if (i) such Lender’s Exemption Representation had been accurate or (ii) such Lender had complied with its obligations under Section 7.1.4.
Section 7.1.6 Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Credit Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Credit Party, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Credit Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Credit Party in the event such Credit Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require any Credit Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
Section 7.1.7 FATCA. If a payment made to a Credit Party under any Loan Document would be subject to United States Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Credit Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Credit Party shall deliver to each applicable Borrower and each applicable Agent,
(a) at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or any Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including an IRS Form W-8BEN-E or as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by any such Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower or Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Credit Party has or has not complied with FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold any payment pursuant to FATCA.
(b) If any documentation provided pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 7.1.7 expires or becomes materially inaccurate, the relevant Credit Party shall promptly provide updated documentation to the relevant Borrower or Agent.
(c) Each Agent and Borrowers may rely on any documentation it receives from any other Credit Party pursuant to paragraph (a) above without further verification and is not liable for any action it takes under or in connection with paragraph (a) above for purposes of complying with FATCA.
-115-
Solely for purposes of this Section 7.1.7, “FATCA” shall include (i) any treaty, law or regulation of any other jurisdiction, or relating to an intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and any other jurisdiction which (in either case) facilitates the implementation of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and regulations or official interpretations thereof and (ii) any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Section 7.2 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans in any currency or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Relevant Rate for any currency or currencies, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to engage in reverse repurchase of U.S. Treasury securities transactions of the type included in the determination of SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon a Relevant Rate for any currency or currencies or to purchase or sell or to take deposits of, any applicable currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Prologis through the applicable Funding Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make, continue or convert Loans in the affected currency or currencies or any determination date(s) or Interest Period under the applicable Tranche or, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, to make or maintain Term SOFR Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans or to convert Loans to Term SOFR Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Daily Simple SOFR Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by U.S. Funding Agent without reference to the Daily Simple SOFR Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies Global Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agent and Prologis that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the applicable Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the applicable Funding Agent), at the applicable Borrower’s option, either (A) prepay all Loans in the affected currency or currencies either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor or on such earlier date on which such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans or (B) if applicable and such Loans are denominated (x) in Dollars, convert all applicable Term SOFR Rate Loans of such Lender to Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans, or if Daily Simple SOFR is unavailable, to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor or on such earlier date on which such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans, (y) in Euro under the Euro Tranche, convert all applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Substitute Rate Loans either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor or on such earlier date on which such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans or (z) in Yen under either the U.S. Tranche or the Euro Tranche and if TONAR Rate is available, convert all TIBOR Rate Loans to TONAR Rate Loans either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor or on such earlier date on which such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, U.S. Funding Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Daily Simple SOFR Rate component thereof until U.S. Funding Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
-116-
Section 7.3 Inability to Determine Rates; Replacement of Rates.
Section 7.3.1 Determination of Rates. If, in connection with any request for any Loans or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (i) Global Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that no Successor Rate for the Relevant Rate for the applicable currency or currencies has been determined in accordance with Section 7.3.2 and the circumstances under clause (a) of Section 7.3.2 or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate (as applicable), (ii) Global Administrative Agent or the applicable Funding Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining the Relevant Rate for the applicable currency or currencies for such existing or proposed Loans for any determination date(s) or Interest Period, as applicable, or (iii) the Tranche Required Lenders or the applicable Funding Agent determine for their Tranche that for any reason the Relevant Rate for the applicable currency or currencies for any determination date(s) or Interest Period, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loans, Global Administrative Agent or the applicable Funding Agent, as applicable, will promptly so notify Prologis, each Borrower in the affected Tranche and each Lender in the affected Tranche. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of Lenders in the affected Tranche to make or maintain Loans or a conversion thereof in the affected currency or currencies or any determination date(s) or Interest Period in the affected Tranche shall be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Daily Simple SOFR Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Daily Simple SOFR Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Global Administrative Agent or the applicable Funding Agent, as applicable, revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any Loans in the affected currency or currencies or for the affected Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable or, failing that, will be deemed to: (A) with respect to a request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any Loans denominated in Dollars under the U.S. Tranche, have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of (or a conversion to) Daily Simple SOFR Loans, or to the extent Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans are affected, to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein, (B) with respect to a request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any Loans denominated in Euro under the Euro Tranche, have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of (or a conversion to) Substitute Rate Loans, (C) with respect to a request for a Borrowing of or continuation of any Loans denominated in Yen under the U.S. Tranche or the Euro Tranche, have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of (or a conversion to) TONAR Rate Loans if TONAR Rate is available and (D) otherwise, with respect to a request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any Loans not denominated in the Primary Currency under any Tranche, have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of or conversion to or continuation of Loans denominated in the Primary Currency under such Tranche in the Foreign Currency Equivalent amount of such Loans.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if Global Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
-117-
manifest error), or Prologis or the Required Lenders notify Global Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Prologis) that Prologis or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate for a currency or currencies for a Tranche, including, without limitation, because none of the tenors of such Relevant Rate (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) or the applicable Screen Rate is available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, or
(b) the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such administrator, Global Administrative Agent or the applicable Funding Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Relevant Rate for a currency or currencies (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) or the applicable Screen Rate shall no longer be representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans denominated in such currency or currencies or shall otherwise cease, provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to Global Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or
(c) syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the U.S., are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Relevant Rate for a currency or currencies,
or if the events or circumstances of the type described in clause (a), (b) or (c) above have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then, reasonably promptly after such determination by Global Administrative Agent or receipt by Global Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, Global Administrative Agent and Prologis may amend this Agreement to replace the Relevant Rate or any then Successor Rate for the affected currency or currencies with an alternate benchmark rate, giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated and agented credit facilities in the U.S. and denominated in the applicable currency for such benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such currency or currencies for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by Global Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion with the consent of Prologis and may be periodically updated (any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Successor Rate”) and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after Global Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders, the Funding Agents and Prologis unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to Global Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. Such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for Global Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied
-118-
in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by Global Administrative Agent in consultation with Prologis. Any spread adjustment with respect to a Loan denominated in Sterling that bears interest at a term XXXXX rate with an Interest Period of one month shall be the same spread adjustment, if any, that applies to the Daily Floating Rate Loans denominated in Sterling.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.
In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, Global Administrative Agent will have the right to make Successor Rate Conforming Changes from time to time following consultation with Prologis and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, Global Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Successor Rate Conforming Changes to Prologis and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
As used above:
“Screen Rate” means the applicable Eurocurrency Rate, Term SOFR Rate or Daily Floating Rate quote on the applicable screen page Global Administrative Agent or the applicable Funding Agent designates to determine such Eurocurrency Rate, Term SOFR Rate or Daily Floating Rate (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by Global Administrative Agent or the applicable Funding Agent from time to time).
“Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to the use, administration of or any conventions associated with SOFR, XXXXX or any proposed Successor Rate for any currency, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, SOFR, XXXXX, Eurocurrency Rate or Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other technical, administrative or operational matters (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the definition of “Business Day”, “U.S. Government Securities Business Day”, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices and length of lookback periods) as may be appropriate, in the discretion of Global Administrative Agent, to reflect the adoption and implementation of such rates and to permit the administration thereof by Global Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice for such currency (or, if Global Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such rate for such currency exists, in such other manner of administration as Global Administrative Agent determines in consultation with Prologis is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and any other Loan Document).
Section 7.3.2 Market Disruptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) if Euro Lenders (including any applicable Fronting Lenders) holding at least 35% of the Euro Aggregate Commitments or, if the Euro Aggregate Commitments have been terminated, Euro Lenders holding in the aggregate at least 35% of the Euro Total Outstandings determine that a requested Borrowing or continuation is affected by an event of the type described in Section 7.3.1(a), (b) or (c), or (b) if the Eurocurrency Rate is to be determined by reference to Reference Banks at or about 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the determination date for the Interest Period
-119-
applicable to a Borrowing or continuation, and none of the Reference Banks supplies a rate for the purpose of determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Borrowing or continuation, then Euro Funding Agent will promptly so notify Prologis, each Euro Borrower and each Euro Lender of such event. Thereafter, the obligation of Euro Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the currency of the requested Borrowing or continuation for the affected currency shall be suspended until Euro Funding Agent (upon the instruction Euro Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Prologis may revoke any pending request for a Euro Committed Borrowing or continuation in the affected currency, or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Euro Committed Borrowing of Substitute Rate Loans denominated in Euro, and any Euro Committed Loans that are not denominated in Euro and are affected by this provision shall be converted to Euro in the Euro Equivalent amount of such Euro Loans at such time.
Section 7.3.3 TIIE Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Banco de México fails to publish the TIIE for the applicable Interest Period on the first Business Day of such Interest Period, either temporarily or on a definitive basis, the TIIE Rate shall be calculated applying any rate published by the Banco de México in substitution of the applicable TIIE Rate; and (ii) if (i) above is not available, the TIIE Rate shall be calculated based on the annual yield for the TIIE for a period closest to the duration of the applicable Interest Period, either compounded or calculated based on a 28, 91 or 182 day, as applicable, equivalent basis in substitution of the TIIE Rate.
Section 7.4 Increased Costs Generally.

-120-
Section 7.4.2 Capital Requirements. If any Credit Party determines that any Change in Law affecting such Credit Party or any Lending Office of such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Credit Party’s capital or on the capital of such Credit Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Credit Party or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Credit Party, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Credit Party, to a level below that which such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Credit Party’s policies and the policies of such Credit Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Prologis will pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) to such Credit Party, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
Section 7.4.3 Certificates for Reimbursement. Any Credit Party requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall deliver to Prologis (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such request and a calculation of the amount necessary to compensate such Credit Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 7.4.1 or 7.4.2 above, and any such certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Prologis shall pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) such Credit Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.
Section 7.4.4 Additional Reserve Requirements. Each applicable Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (a) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error), and (b) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided each applicable Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.
Section 7.4.5 Limitations on Lender Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, no Lender shall be entitled to compensation for any cost, increased costs or liability resulting from a failure by such Lender to comply with any request from or
-121-
requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law being a request of a nature with which banks generally are expected or accustomed to comply).
Section 7.5 Compensation for Losses. Each Borrower agrees that it will, from time to time, compensate each Lender for and hold each Lender harmless from any actual loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of:
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan of such Lender to such Borrower (other than a Base Rate Loan or a Daily Floating Rate Loan) on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b) any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow (including any failure to borrow in the event a Japanese Borrower falls under any of items (a) through (i) of Section 9.19 or a Japanese Borrower fails to comply with Section 11.9), continue or convert any Loan of (or to be made by) such Lender to such Borrower (other than a Base Rate Loan or a Daily Floating Rate Loan) on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower;
(c) any failure by such Borrower to make payment of any Loan or reimbursement obligation under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) in the currency in which such Loan or reimbursement obligation is denominated; or
(d) any assignment of any Loan (other than a Base Rate Loan or a Daily Floating Rate Loan) of such Lender to such Borrower on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Prologis pursuant to Section 14.12;
including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or, solely in the case of subsection (c) above, any foreign exchange losses (but in each case excluding any loss of anticipated profits).
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by a Borrower to a Lender under this Section 7.5, (A) each Lender shall be deemed to have funded (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, and (ii) each TIIE Rate Loan made by it by the acceptance of a bankers’ acceptance for a comparable amount and a comparable period issued by a company of comparable credit quality as Prologis, in each case whether or not the applicable Loan was in fact so funded; and (B) the losses and expenses of any Lender resulting from any event described in clause (a) above, any failure by a Borrower to borrow or continue a Loan as contemplated by clause (b) above or any assignment pursuant to clause (d) above shall not exceed the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of the applicable Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurocurrency Rate applicable (or that would have been applicable) to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount
-122-
for such period at the interest rate that (I) in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, such Lender would bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable eurocurrency market, or (II) in the case of a TIIE Rate Loan, the rate that would be applicable for a TIIE Rate Loan for such period.
Any Lender requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with copies to Prologis, Global Administrative Agent and the applicable Funding Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of the amount demanded and any such certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The applicable Borrower shall pay the applicable Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.
Section 7.6 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
Section 7.6.1 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Credit Party requests compensation under Section 7.4, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Credit Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Credit Party pursuant to Section 7.1, or if any Credit Party gives a notice pursuant to Section 7.2, then such Credit Party shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Credit Party, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.4, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 7.2, and (b) in each case, would not subject such Credit Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Credit Party. Prologis hereby agrees to pay (or to cause the applicable Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Credit Party in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Section 7.6.2 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand compensation pursuant to Section 7.1, 7.4 or 7.5 shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Credit Party pursuant to any such Section for any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes, increased cost, reduction in return, funding loss or other amount (any of the foregoing, a “Compensation Amount”) incurred or suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Credit Party notified Prologis of the Change in Law or other event giving rise to such Compensation Amount and of such Credit Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law or other event giving rise to such Compensation Amount is retroactive, then the six month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 7.6.3 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 7.4, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 7.1, Prologis may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 14.12.
Section 7.7 Qualified Lender Status. If a Lender notifies the applicable Funding Agent (orally or in writing) that it is a Qualified Lender with respect to the imposition of a
-123-
withholding tax, and (a) such Qualified Lender is subject to withholding taxes immediately prior to and after the funding of the applicable Loan, and (b) there were Fronting Lenders available to make such Loan as set forth in Section 2.2.2(a) or 3.2.2(a), as applicable, then the applicable Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts under Section 7.1 with respect to withholding taxes imposed on the payments to such Lender on account of such Loan. Furthermore, each Funding Agent shall be permitted to rely solely on any notices, certificates or Assignment and Assumptions provided by any Lender regarding its status as a Qualified Lender, and such Funding Agent shall not be required to independently verify such Lender’s status or request any updates from such Lender as to whether it remains a Qualified Lender at the time of any request for a Credit Extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.7 shall not limit any right or remedy of any Lender under this Article VII with respect to any Loan to the extent such Lender ceases to be a Qualified Lender due to a Change in Law after the funding of such Loan.
Section 7.8 Survival. All obligations under this Article VII shall survive termination of the Aggregate Tranche Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Agents, Lenders, and L/C Issuers, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions, except to the extent set forth in Sections 13.6 and 13.7.

No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number, percentage or group of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 14.1 and 12.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by a Loan Party, a Lender or an L/C Issuer.
No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (1) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than its own statements, warranties and representations), (2) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
-144-

Each Lender agrees that Global Administrative Agent and Sustainability Structuring Agent shall not have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by Prologis of any Sustainability Certificate, any Assurance Report, Sustainability Metric Percentage or any Sustainability Metric (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any applicable Sustainability Certificate or Assurance Report. Global Administrative Agent and Sustainability Structuring Agent may rely conclusively on any Sustainability Certificate and Assurance Report delivered by Prologis without any responsibility to verify the accuracy thereof.
Section 13.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any L/C Issuer, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Any Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Companies), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 13.5 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent. No Agent shall be responsible to any Credit Party for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Section 13.6 Resignation of Global Administrative Agent. Global Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to each Funding Agent, Lenders, each L/C Issuer and Prologis.

-145-
office in the United States, or an Affiliate of a bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after retiring Global Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then retiring Global Administrative Agent may on behalf of Lenders and L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Global Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Global Administrative Agent shall notify Prologis and Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) retiring Global Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Global Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders or L/C Issuer under the Loan Documents, the retiring Global Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Global Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Global Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Global Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.

The fees payable by Prologis to a successor Global Administrative Agent shall be the same as (but without duplication with) those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Prologis and such successor. After the retiring Global Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 14.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Global Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Global Administrative Agent was acting as Global Administrative Agent.

Each Funding Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation as Funding Agent for a Tranche to the Lenders with commitments in such Tranche, Global Administrative Agent and Prologis. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Global Administrative Agent shall have the right, in consultation with Prologis, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the applicable jurisdiction of the affected Tranche, or an Affiliate of a bank with an office in the applicable jurisdiction of the affected Tranche. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Global Administrative Agent and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Funding Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Funding Agent may on behalf of the applicable Lenders appoint a successor Funding Agent for the applicable Tranche meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Funding Agent shall notify Global Administrative Agent, Prologis and the applicable Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Funding Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other
-146-
Loan Documents with respect to the applicable Tranche and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Funding Agent with respect to such Tranche shall instead be made by or to Global Administrative Agent directly, until such time as Global Administrative Agent appoints a successor Funding Agent for such Tranche as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the applicable Funding Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Funding Agent with respect to the applicable Tranche, and the retiring Funding Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents with respect to such Tranche (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Prologis to a successor Funding Agent (including, if applicable, to Global Administrative Agent for any period) shall be the same as (but without duplication of) those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Prologis and such successor. After the retiring Funding Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article XIII and Section 14.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Funding Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Funding Agent was acting as a Funding Agent.
Any resignation by (a) U.S. Funding Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as a U.S. L/C Issuer and a Fronting Lender, and (b) Euro Funding Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as a Euro L/C Issuer, a Fronting Lender and Euro Swing Line Lender.
If any Person resigns as an L/C Issuer under this Section, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require Lenders to make Committed Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts). If any Person resigns as a Fronting Lender or Swing Line Lender under this Section, it shall retain all the rights of a Fronting Lender or Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Fronting Loans or Swing Line Loans, as applicable, made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require Lenders to make Committed Loans or fund risk participations of such outstanding Loans (in the original currency of such Loans).
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the applicable Funding Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, Fronting Lender and Swing Line Lender (to the extent such Funding Agent maintained these roles immediately prior to its resignation) under the applicable Tranche, (b) the applicable retiring L/C Issuer, Fronting Lender and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents under the applicable Tranche, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit under the applicable Tranche, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
Section 13.8 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other
-147-
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Global Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Global Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders, L/C Issuers, and Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders, L/C Issuers, and Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders, L/C Issuers, and Agents under Sections 5.9, 5.10, 6.5, and 14.4) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

Section 13.11 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time any Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Credit Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Borrowers at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Credit Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to such Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Credit Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to such Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Credit Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The applicable Agent shall inform each applicable Credit Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Credit Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

If any of the Conforming Provisions in the GLOC 2.0 Facility is amended, modified, restated, replaced or
-151-
waived (each, a “Modification”), then each Borrower, Global Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that such Conforming Provision in this Agreement shall be automatically amended, modified, restated, replaced or waived, as applicable, to conform to such provision in the GLOC 2.0 Facility; provided that (a) all Lenders shall have received notice of any such proposed Modification and (b) such Modification has been approved by lenders representing more than 50.0% of the aggregate commitments on a combined basis under this Agreement and under the GLOC 2.0 Facility.

Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Qualified Institutions all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 14.6.2, participations in L/C Obligations, in Swing Line Loans, and in Fronting Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that
(a) except in the case of an assignment from a Lender in a Tranche to any affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender in the same Tranche (other than, in each case, a Defaulting Lender), Global Administrative Agent, the applicable Funding Agent and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Prologis each shall have provided its prior written consent thereto (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(b) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the applicable Funding Agent (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent) or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than (i) $5,000,000 for assignments of Loans or Commitments denominated in Dollars, (ii) EUR 5,000,000 for assignments of Loans or Commitments denominated in Euro, (iii) £5,000,000 for assignments of Loans denominated in Sterling, (iv) ¥500,000,000 for assignments of Loans or Commitments denominated in Yen, (v) Cdn$5,000,000 for assignments of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, (vi) Ps$5,000,000 for assignments of Loans denominated on Pesos, and (vii) the amount set forth in any Supplemental Tranche for any other currencies, unless the applicable Funding Agent, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Prologis otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Qualified Institution (or to a Qualified Institution and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;
(c) each partial assignment under a particular Tranche shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under such Tranche with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (c) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans and Fronting Loans;
(d) any assignment of a Commitment under any Tranche must be approved by each applicable L/C Issuer, the applicable Swing Line Lender (if any) and the Fronting Lenders (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless such assignee is already a Lender under the applicable Tranche;
-158-
(e) to the extent that a Lender is assigning any portion of its Commitment or Loans under more than one Tranche, then such Lender must submit a separate Assignment and Assumption for each Tranche and each such assignment shall be deemed a separate assignment under this Section 14.6; and
(f) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the applicable Funding Agent (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent) an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable to such Funding Agent (which fee is not an obligation of any Loan Party) and the Qualified Institution, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the applicable Funding Agent (with a copy to Global Administrative Agent) an Administrative Questionnaire.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the applicable Funding Agent pursuant to Section 14.6.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Qualified Institution thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and be subject to the obligations in, Sections 7.1, 7.4, 7.5, and 14.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 14.6.4.
Section 14.6.3 Register. Each Funding Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at such Funding Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (each, a “Register”). The entries in each Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Global Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Each Register shall be available for inspection by any party to this Agreement at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
Section 14.6.4 Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Loan Party or any Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a Defaulting Lender, a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person) or Prologis or any of Prologis’ Affiliates or any Eligible Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans and/or
-159-
Fronting Loans) owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (c) Loan Parties, Agents, Lenders and L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (d) such Lender agrees to be responsible for withholding any Taxes from payments to such Participant to the extent such withholding is required by Law. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, no Agent (in its capacity as an Agent) shall have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clause (y) of the first proviso to Section 14.1.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 14.6.5, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and be subject to the obligations in, Sections 7.1, 7.4 and 7.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.6.2. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.8 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 6.9 as though it were a Lender.
Section 14.6.5 Limitation upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 7.1 or 7.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Prologis’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.1 unless Prologis is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers, to comply with Section 7.1.6 as though it were a Lender.
Section 14.6.6 Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in any of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank or the central bank of any other country in which such Lender is organized; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
-160-
Section 14.6.7 Resignation as an L/C Issuer, Fronting Lender or a Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Agent or any Fronting Lender assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 14.6.2 above, such Agent or Fronting Lender, as applicable, may, (a) upon 30 days’ notice to Prologis and Lenders in the affected Tranche, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (b) upon 30 days’ notice to Prologis and Lenders in the affected Tranche, resign as a Fronting Lender and/or (c) upon 30 days’ notice to Prologis and Lenders in the affected Tranche, resign as a Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer, Fronting Lender or a Swing Line Lender, Prologis shall be entitled to appoint from among Lenders a successor L/C Issuer, Fronting Lender or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by Prologis to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Agent as an L/C Issuer, a Fronting Lender or a Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If any Person resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require Lenders to make Committed Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts). If any Lender resigns as a Fronting Lender or Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a Fronting Lender or Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Fronting Loans or Swing Line Loans, as applicable, made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require Lenders to make Committed Loans or fund risk participations of such outstanding Loans (in the original currency of such Loans).

The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify Prologis and Global Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section 14.9 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest (including any fees or charges which are deemed as interest under applicable laws) paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by any Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

(a) Prologis shall have paid (or caused an Affiliate Borrower to pay) to Global Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 14.6.2;
(b) subject to Section 14.12.2(b) in the case of a Sanctioned Lender, such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 7.5) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
-163-
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 7.4 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 7.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws (including any applicable Sanction).

(c) Notwithstanding Section 14.12.1 or any other provision of this Agreement (but subject to Section 14.12.2(d)), if any Lender is a Sanctioned Lender, then the applicable Borrowers (i) may, with the consent of Global Administrative Agent if a Default or Event of Default exists, and (ii) shall, promptly upon notice from Global Administrative Agent that any Law applicable to any Borrower or any Lender requires such action, prepay such Lender’s Loans, all accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder, in each case on a non-pro-rata basis, whereupon such Lender shall cease to have any rights or obligations hereunder (other than, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, with respect to rights and obligations that expressly survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement).
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it would be unlawful for any Borrower, any Funding Agent, Global Administrative Agent or any assignee pursuant to Section 14.12.1 to make a payment to any Sanctioned Lender, then any amount that such Borrower, such Funding Agent, Global Administrative Agent or such assignee would otherwise pay to such Sanctioned Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be held for such Sanctioned Lender pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to such Borrower, such Funding Agent, Global Administrative Agent and such assignee, in each case as applicable, and shall be paid to such Lender only when making such payment is no longer unlawful.

In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Section 15.1 The Guaranties. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by Prologis from the proceeds of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, Prologis hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the applicable Affiliate Borrowers and the due performance and compliance with all terms, conditions and agreements contained in the Loan Documents by each such Affiliate Borrower. If any of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Affiliate Borrowers to any Agent and/or any Lender becomes due and payable hereunder, Prologis unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to such Agents and/or such Lenders, as applicable, on demand, together with all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by any Agent or the Lenders in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations. If claim is ever made upon any Agent and/or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Affiliate Borrowers), then and in such event Prologis agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such entity, notwithstanding any revocation of the applicable guaranty under this Article XV or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Affiliate Borrower, and Prologis shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.
Section 15.2 Insolvency. Additionally, Prologis unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the applicable Affiliate Borrowers to the Credit Parties, whether or not due or payable by any such Affiliate Borrower, upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 12.1.6, and unconditionally promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Credit Parties on demand.
Section 15.3 Absolute and Unconditional Guaranty. The guaranty provided by Prologis under this Article XV is intended to be an irrevocable, absolute and continuing guaranty of payment and is not a guaranty of collection. This guaranty may not be revoked by Prologis. The liability of Prologis hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations of any Affiliate Borrower whether executed by General

Partner, Prologis, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Prologis hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Affiliate Borrower or by any other party; or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations of any Affiliate Borrower; or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking; or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Affiliate Borrower; or (e) any payment made to any Credit Party on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Credit Party repays to any Affiliate Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Prologis waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding. The guaranty and liability of Prologis hereunder shall in all respects be a continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not only collectability, and shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding, without limitation, the dissolution of any Affiliate Borrower, that at any time or from time to time no Guaranteed Obligations are outstanding or any other circumstance) until all Commitments have terminated and, subject to the last sentence of Section 15.1, all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full.
Section 15.4 Independent Obligation. The obligations of Prologis hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Prologis whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. Prologis waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by a Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Prologis’ respective obligations under this Article XV.
Section 15.5 Authorization. Prologis authorizes the Credit Parties without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:
(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guaranty of Prologis herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;
(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;
(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Borrower or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;
-173-
(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, Borrowers or other obligors;
(e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to its creditors other than the Credit Parties;
(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Borrower to the Credit Parties regardless of what liability or liabilities of Prologis or any Borrower remain unpaid;
(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or
(h) take any other action that would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of Prologis from its liabilities under this Article XV;
it being understood that the foregoing shall not permit any action by Global Administrative Agent or any Lender that is not otherwise permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
The Guaranteed Obligations shall not be affected by any acts of any Governmental Authority affecting any Borrower including any restrictions on the conversion of currency or repatriation or control of funds or any total or partial expropriation of any Borrower’s property, or by economic, political, regulatory or other events in the countries where any Borrower is located.
Section 15.6 Reliance. It is not necessary for any Credit Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Borrower or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
Section 15.7 Subordination. Any indebtedness of any Borrower related to the Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter owing to Prologis is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower owing to the Credit Parties, and if Global Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness related to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to Prologis shall be collected, enforced and received by Prologis for the benefit of the Credit Parties and be paid over to Global Administrative Agent on behalf of the Credit Parties on account of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to the Credit Parties, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of Prologis under the other provisions of this Article XV. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Prologis hereby agrees with the Credit Parties that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the guaranty under this Article XV (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until, subject to the last sentence of Section 15.1, all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnities and costs and reimbursement obligations to the extent no claim has been asserted with respect thereto) have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.
-174-
Section 15.8 Waivers.
(a) Prologis waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Credit Party to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Credit Party’s power whatsoever. Prologis waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security, if any, held by Global Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable Law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Credit Parties may have against any Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Prologis hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. Prologis waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Credit Parties, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Prologis against any Borrower or any other party or any security.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Prologis waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of any Event of Default, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of the guaranty hereunder, notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations, and notices of any Credit Party’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof. Prologis assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which it assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that no Agent or Lender shall have any duty to advise it of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.
Section 15.9 Nature of Liability. It is the desire and intent of Prologis and the Credit Parties that this Article XV shall be enforced against Prologis to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of Prologis under this Article XV shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to be reduced and Prologis shall pay the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible under applicable Law.
