2
Preliminary Prospectus nor the Prospectus nor any amendments or supplements thereto included
or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under

Securities Act, complied when so filed in all material respects with the Securities Act Regulations
and the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in
connection with the offering of the Securities will, at the time of such delivery, be identical to

to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

businesses as now conducted, except as would not result in a Material Adverse Change; and the
expected expiration of any of such Intellectual Property Rights would not result in a Material
Adverse Change. None of the Company, the Operating Partnership nor any of the subsidiaries of the
Operating Partnership has received any notice of infringement or conflict with asserted
Intellectual Property Rights of others, which infringement or conflict, if the subject of an
unfavorable decision, would result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Company nor the

subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership has received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of, or non-compliance with, any such certificate, authorization, permit,
license, approval, consent or other authorization which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject

and the Prospectus), in each case free and clear of any security interests, mortgages, liens,
encumbrances, equities, claims and other defects, except such as do not materially and adversely
affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to
be made of such property by the Company, the Operating Partnership or such subsidiary. The real
property, improvements, equipment and personal property held under lease by the Company, the
Operating Partnership or any of the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership are held under valid
and enforceable leases, with such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere

property by the Company, the Operating Partnership or the subsidiaries of the Operating
Partnership.

applicable financial statements referred to in Section 1(m) above in respect of all federal, state
and foreign income and franchise taxes for all periods as to which the tax liability of the
Company, the Operating Partnership or any of the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership has not
been finally determined. With respect to all tax periods in respect of which the Internal Revenue
Service is or will be entitled to any claim, the Company has met the requirements for qualification
as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the Internal
Revenue Code) and the Companys present and contemplated organizational ownership, method of
operation, assets and income are such that the Company will continue to meet such requirements.

Partnership is, and after receipt of payment for the Securities and the application of the proceeds
as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under Use of Proceeds will be, an
investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the

subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance
coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar
institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a
cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Change.
(cc) No Price Stabilization or Manipulation. The Company has not taken and will not take,

FCPA), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or
instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to
pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or

political office, in contravention of the FCPA; and the Company, the Operating Partnership, the
subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and, to the knowledge of the Company and the Operating
Partnership their respective affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance

nor any of the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership is in violation of any federal, state,

is not limited to, noncompliance with any permits or other governmental authorizations required for
the operation of the business of the Company, the Operating Partnership or the subsidiaries of the
Operating Partnership under applicable Environmental Laws, or noncompliance with the terms and
conditions thereof, nor has any of the Company, the Operating Partnership or the subsidiaries of
the Operating Partnership received any written communication, whether from a governmental
authority, citizens group, employee or otherwise, that alleges that the Company, the Operating
Partnership or any of the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership is in violation of any
Environmental Law; (ii) there is no claim, action or cause of action filed with a court or

the Operating Partnerships knowledge, threatened against the Company, the Operating Partnership or
any of the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership or any person or entity whose liability for
any Environmental Claim the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of the subsidiaries of the

(iii) to the best of the Companys and the Operating Partnerships knowledge, there are no past or
present actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events or incidents, including, without
limitation, the release, emission, discharge, presence or disposal of any Material of Environmental
Concern, that reasonably could result in a violation of any Environmental Law or form the basis of
a potential Environmental Claim against the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of the
subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership or against any person or entity whose liability for any
Environmental Claim the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of the subsidiaries of the
Operating Partnership has retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law.
(hh) ERISA Compliance. The Company, the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries of the
Operating Partnership and any employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published
interpretations thereunder (collectively, ERISA)) established or maintained by the
Company, the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership or their
ERISA Affiliates (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA.
ERISA Affiliate means, with respect to any person or any subsidiary of such person, any
member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal
Revenue Code, of which such person or such subsidiary is a member. No reportable event (as
defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any employee
benefit plan established or maintained by the Company, the Operating Partnership and the
subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No employee benefit
plan established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates,
if such employee benefit plan were terminated, would have any amount of unfunded benefit
liabilities (as defined under ERISA). None of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of
the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or
reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination
of, or withdrawal from, any employee benefit plan, (ii) Sections 412, 4971 or 4975 of the
Internal Revenue Code, or (iii) Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the
excise tax imposed thereunder. Each employee benefit plan established or maintained by the
Company, the Operating Partnership or any of the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership or any
of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service and
nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which is reasonably likely to cause
disqualification of any such employee benefit plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code.
12
(ii) Accounting Systems. The Company, the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries of
the Operating Partnership maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, as such
term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
(jj) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company and the Operating Partnership
established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act); such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to
ensure that material information relating to the Company, and the Operating Partnership and the
subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership is made known to the respective chief executive officer
and chief financial officer of the Company and the Operating Partnership by others within the
Company and the Operating Partnership or any of the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, and
such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably effective to perform the functions for which
they were established subject to the limitations of any such control system; the Companys auditors
and the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company have been advised of: (i) any
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls
which could adversely affect the ability of the Company or the Operating Partnership to record,
process, summarize, and report financial data; and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that
involves management or other employees who have a role in the internal controls of the Company or
the Operating Partnership; and since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure
controls and procedures, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with
regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company or the Operating Partnership or any of
the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and delivered to the Representatives or to counsel
for the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed a
representation and warranty by the Company or the Operating Partnership, as applicable, to each
Underwriter as to the matters set forth therein on the date of such certificate and, unless
subsequently amended or supplemented, at each Representation Date subsequent thereto.
The Company acknowledges that the Underwriters and, for purposes of the opinions to be
delivered pursuant to Section 5 hereof, counsel for the Company and counsel for the Underwriters,
will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and hereby consents
to such reliance.
Section 2. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Securities.
(a) Initial Securities. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein
contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to
each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly,
agrees to purchase from the Company, at the price per share set forth in Annex II, the number of
Initial Securities set forth in Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter, plus any
additional number of Initial Securities which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase
pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 hereof.
(b) Option Securities. In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties
herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby
13
grants an option to the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, to purchase up to an
additional 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock at the price per share set forth in Annex II, less an
amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the
Initial Securities but not payable on the Option Securities. The Representatives, on behalf of the
Underwriters, may exercise this right in whole or from time to time in part by giving written
notice of each election to exercise this option not later than 30 days after the Closing Date. Any
exercise notice shall specify the number of Option Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters
and the date on which such Option Securities are to be purchased. Each purchase date shall be
determined by the Representatives, but must be at least one business day after the written notice
is given and may not be earlier than the Closing Date nor later than ten business days after the
date of such notice. Option Securities may be purchased as provided in this Section 2 solely for
the purpose of covering sales of Securities in excess of the number of Initial Securities sold in
connection with the offering of the Initial Securities. If the option is exercised as to all or
any portion of the Option Securities, each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly,
will, on the Optional Closing Date (as defined below) if any, purchase that proportion of the total
number of Option Securities then being purchased which the number of Initial Securities set forth
in Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Initial
Securities, subject in each case to such adjustments as the Representatives in its discretion shall
make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares.
(c) The Closing Date and Optional Closing Date(s). Delivery of certificates for the
Initial Securities in global form to be purchased by the Underwriters and payment therefor shall be
made at the offices of Shearman & Sterling LLP (or such other place as may be agreed to by the
Company and the Representatives) at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 28, 2011 or such other
time not later than ten business days after the time and date the Representatives shall designate
by notice to the Company (the time and date of such closing are called the Closing Date).
Payment for and delivery of certificates for the Option Securities will be made at the offices
of Shearman & Sterling LLP (or such other place as may be agreed to by the Company and the
Representatives) at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date or at such other time or
place on the same or such other date, not later than July 22, 2011, as the Representatives and the
Company may agree upon in writing (the time and date of such payment and delivery is referred to
herein as the Optional Closing Date).
(d) Public Offering of the Securities. The Underwriters hereby advise the Company that
they intend to offer the Securities for sale to the public, as described in the Disclosure Package
and the Prospectus, as soon after this Agreement has been executed as the Underwriters, in their
sole judgment, have determined is advisable and practicable.
(e) Payment for the Securities. Payment for the Securities shall be made at the Closing
Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the order of the Company.
It is understood that the Representatives have been authorized, for their own account and the
accounts of the several Underwriters, to accept delivery of and receipt for, and make payment of
the purchase price for, the Initial Securities and any Option Securities the Underwriters have
agreed to purchase. Merrill Lynch, individually and not as the Representative of the
14
Underwriters may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment for the Initial Securities
or the Option Securities, if any, to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds shall not have
been received by the Representatives by the Closing Date or any Optional Closing Date, as the case
may be, for the account of such Underwriter, but any such payment shall not relieve such
Underwriter from any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(f) Delivery of the Securities. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the
Underwriters the Initial Securities at the Closing Date, and the Option Securities at the Optional
Closing Date, if any, against the irrevocable release of a wire transfer of immediately available
funds for the amount of the purchase price therefor. The Initial Securities, and, if applicable,
the Option Securities, shall be in such denominations and registered in such names and
denominations as the Representatives shall have requested at least two full business days prior to
the Closing Date or the relevant Optional Closing Date, as the case may be, and shall be made
available for inspection on the business day preceding the Closing Date or the relevant Optional
Closing Date, as the case may be, at a location in New York City, as the Representatives may
designate. Delivery of the Initial Securities and the Option Securities shall be made through the
facilities of The Depository Trust Company unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.
Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a
further condition to the obligations of the Underwriters.
Section 3. Additional Covenants. The Company further covenants and agrees with each
Underwriter as follows:
(a) Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests. The Company, subject to
Section 3(b), will comply with the requirements of Rule 430B of the Securities Act Regulations, and
will promptly notify the Representatives, and confirm the notice in writing, of (i) the
effectiveness of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or the filing of any
supplement or amendment to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, (ii) the receipt of any
comments from the Commission during the Prospectus Delivery Period (defined below), (iii) any
request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or
supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or for additional information, and (iv)
the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Preliminary Prospectus or the
Prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any
jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes. The
Company will promptly effect the filings necessary pursuant to Rule 424 and will take such steps as
it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus
transmitted for filing under Rule 424 was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event
that it was not, it will promptly file such document. The Company will use its best efforts to
prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting
thereof at the earliest possible moment.
(b) Filing of Amendments. During such period beginning on the date of this Agreement and
ending on the later of the Closing Date or such date as, in the opinion of counsel for the
Underwriters, the Prospectus is no longer required by law to be delivered in connection with sales
of the Securities by an Underwriter or dealer, including in circumstances where such requirement
may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 of the Securities Act Regulations (the
15
Prospectus Delivery Period), the Company will give the Representatives notice of its
intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement (including any filing
under Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act Regulations), or any amendment, supplement or revision to
the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act
or otherwise, will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such documents a reasonable
amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use
any such document to which the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably
object.
(c) Delivery of Registration Statements. The Company will deliver to the Underwriters and
counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, as such Underwriter or counsel for the Underwriters
may reasonably request, signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each
amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and
documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) and signed copies of all
consents and certificates of experts. The Registration Statement and each amendment thereto
furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof
filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(d) Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company will deliver to each Underwriter, without charge,
as many copies of the Preliminary Prospectus as such Underwriter may reasonably request, and the
Company hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes of offering the Securities. The
Company will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the Prospectus Delivery Period,
such number of copies of the Prospectus as such Underwriter may reasonably request. The
Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to
the Underwriters will be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the
Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(e) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company will comply with the Securities
Act and the Securities Act Regulations and the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations so as
to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in this Agreement
and in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. If, during the
Prospectus Delivery Period, any event or development shall occur or condition exist as a result of
which the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or then
prevailing, as the case may be, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the
Underwriters or for the Company, it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Disclosure
Package or the Prospectus, or to file under the Exchange Act any document incorporated by reference
in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, in order to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made or then prevailing, as the case may be, not
misleading, or, if in the opinion of either such counsel, it is otherwise necessary or advisable to
amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or to
file under the Exchange Act any document incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package or the
Prospectus, or to file a new registration statement containing the Prospectus, in order to comply
with law, including in
16
connection with the delivery of the Prospectus, the Company agrees to (i) notify the
Representatives of any such event or condition and (ii) promptly prepare (subject to Section 3(b)
and 3(l) hereof), file with the Commission (and use its best efforts to have any amendment to the
Registration Statement or any new registration statement to be declared effective) and furnish at
its own expense to the Underwriters and to dealers in such quantities as they may reasonably
request, amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the
Prospectus, or any new registration statement, necessary in order to make the statements in the
Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made or then prevailing, as the case may be, not misleading or
so that the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as amended or
supplemented, will comply with law.
(f) Blue Sky Compliance. The Company shall cooperate with the Representatives and counsel for
the Underwriters to qualify or register the Securities for sale under (or obtain exemptions from
the application of) the state securities or blue sky laws of those jurisdictions designated by the
Representatives, shall comply with such laws and shall continue such qualifications, registrations
and exemptions in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities. The Company
shall not be required to qualify to transact business or to take any action that would subject it
to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or where
it would be subject to taxation as a foreign business. The Company will advise the Representatives
promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating
to) the Securities for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of
any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such
qualification, registration or exemption, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the
withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.

sold by it in the manner described under the caption Use of Proceeds in the Disclosure Package

clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in
cash or otherwise; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to (A) the sale of the Securities
under this Agreement, (B) shares of Common Stock and other equity based awards to be issued

date hereof by which the Company is bound or in connection with any transaction referred to in
clauses (B) through (H) above.
(l) Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents that it has not made, and
agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representatives, it will not make,
any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or
that would otherwise constitute a free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 of the
Securities Act) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company
under Rule 433 of the Securities Act; provided that the prior written consent of the Underwriters
shall be deemed to have been given in respect of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses identified in

on the proper form relating to the Securities, in a form satisfactory to the Representatives, (iii)
use its best efforts to cause such registration statement of post-effective amendment to be
declared effective and (iv) promptly notify the Representatives of such effectiveness. The Company
will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the

the part of any party to any other party, except that Section 4, Section 6, Section 8 and Section 9
shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.
Section 6. Reimbursement of Underwriters Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated
by the Representatives pursuant to Section 5 or Section 11, or if the sale to the Underwriters of

to themselves), severally, upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses that shall have been
reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the proposed purchase and the offering
and sale of the Securities, including but not limited to reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel, printing expenses, travel expenses, postage, facsimile and telephone charges.
Section 7. Offering Restrictions.
In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the
Prospectus Directive (each, a Relevant Member State), each Underwriter represents and agrees that
with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that
Relevant Member State (the Relevant Implementation Date) it has not made and will not make an offer
of the Securities to the public in that Relevant Member State prior to the publication of a
prospectus in relation to the Securities which has been approved by the competent authority in that
Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified
to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus
Directive, except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date,
make an offer of the Securities to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time:
(a) to legal entities which are authorized or regulated to operate in the financial markets
or, if not so authorized or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;
(b) to any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average of at least 250 employees
during the last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of more than 43,000,000 and (3) an
annual net turnover of more than 50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or consolidated accounts;
(c) to fewer than 100 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined
in the Prospectus Directive), subject to obtaining the prior written consent of the underwriters;
or
(d) in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,
provided that no such offer of Securities shall require the Company or any underwriter to publish a
prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.
23
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an offer of Securities to the public in
relation to any Securities in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by
any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Securities to be offered so
as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Securities, as the same may be
varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member
State and the expression Prospectus Directive means Directive 2003/71/ EC and includes any relevant
implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.
Each Underwriter further represents and agrees that:
(a) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause
to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning
of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA)) received by it in connection
with the issue or sale of the Securities in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA would
not apply to the Company; and
(b) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect
to anything done by it in relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United
Kingdom.
Section 8. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly
and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, as such term
is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act (each, an Affiliate), its directors,
officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as
incurred, to which such Underwriter or such Affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling
person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state
statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any
litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as
such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated
below) arises out of or is based (i) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the omission or
alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any issuer
information filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, the Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged
omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) in
whole or in part upon any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company or the
Operating Partnership contained herein; or (iv) in whole or in part upon any failure of the Company
or the Operating Partnership to perform its obligations hereunder or under law; and to reimburse
each Underwriter and each such Affiliate, officer, employee and controlling person for any and all
expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Underwriters) as
such expenses are reasonably incurred by such
24
Underwriter or such officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating,
defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or
action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Operating
Partnership by the Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment
thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be
in addition to any liabilities that the Company or the Operating Partnership may otherwise have.
(b) Indemnification of the Company, its Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter agrees,
severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating
Partnership, the directors of the Company (as applicable), each of their respective officers who
signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the
Operating Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any
loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, the Operating
Partnership or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at
common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected
with the written consent of such Underwriter), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto), or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement,
any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment
or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company or the Operating Partnership by the Underwriters expressly for use therein; and to
reimburse the Company or the Operating Partnership, or any such director, officer or controlling
person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company or the Operating
Partnership, or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating,
defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or
action. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any
liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.
(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party
under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may
have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 8 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a proximate result of such
failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such
25
indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect,
jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party;
provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may
arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the
defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other
indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume
such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of such indemnifying partys election so to assume the defense of such action and
approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party
shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence
(it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of
more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the indemnifying party
(the Underwriters in the case of Section 8(b) and Section 9), representing the indemnified parties
who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a
reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and
expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.
(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent
or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the
indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified
party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and
expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 8(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it
shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i)
such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party
in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement; provided, that if it is
ultimately determined that an indemnified party was not entitled to indemnification hereunder, such
indemnified party shall be responsible for repaying or reimbursing such amounts to the indemnifying
party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party,
effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened
action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party
and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such
settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party
from all liability on claims that are
26
the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as
to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified
party.
Section 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for
any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then
each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on
the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also
the relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the
Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in
the representations and warranties herein which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the
Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this
Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from
the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by
the Company and the Operating Partnership, and the total underwriting discount received by the
Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the front cover page of the Prospectus, bear to the
aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and
the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or any such inaccurate
or alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or
the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the
parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission.
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 8(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection
with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 8(c) with
respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be
made under this Section 9; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with
respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8(c) for purposes of
indemnification.
The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation
(even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section
9.
27
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting commissions received by such Underwriter in
connection with the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public. No person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall
be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Underwriters obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are
several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth
opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 9, each Affiliate, officer and
employee of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning
of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such
Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company or the Operating
Partnership who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the
Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or the Operating Partnership.
Section 10. Default of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If, on the Closing
Date or the Optional Closing Date, if any, any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail
or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date,
and the aggregate principal amount of Securities, which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters
agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Securities, to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally,
in the proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of the Initial Securities set forth opposite
their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate principal amount of the Initial
Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other
proportions as may be specified by the Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting
Underwriters, to purchase such Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed
but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the
Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase such Initial Securities and the aggregate principal
amount of such Initial Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the
aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements
satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not
made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any
party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 4, Section 6, Section 8 and Section
9 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the
Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event
for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Registration
Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any
other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Optional Closing Date, any one or more
of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase such Option Securities and the aggregate
principal amount of such Option Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of
the aggregate principal amount of Option Securities to be purchased on such date, the
Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i)
terminate the Underwriters obligation hereunder to purchase the Option Securities to be sold on
such Optional Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Option Securities that such
non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default.
28
As used in this Agreement, the term Underwriter shall be deemed to include any person
substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 10. Any action taken under this
Section 10 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of
such Underwriter under this Agreement.
Section 11. Termination of this Agreement. On or after the Initial Sale Time and
prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given
to the Company if at any time (i) trading or quotation in any of the Companys securities shall
have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the New York Stock Exchange, or trading in
securities generally on either the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange shall have
been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on
any of such stock exchanges by the Commission or FINRA; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall
have been declared by any of federal or New York authorities; (iii) there shall have occurred any
outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity involving
the United States, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any
substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States or
international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the
Representatives is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to market the
Securities in the manner and on the terms described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or
to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; (iv) in the judgment of the Representatives there
shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change; or (v) there shall have occurred a material
disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United
States. Any termination pursuant to this Section 11 shall be without liability on the part of (a)
the Company to any Underwriter, except that the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the
expenses of the Underwriters pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 hereof, (b) any Underwriter to the
Company, or (c) of any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8 and
Section 9 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.
Section 12. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective
indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, of its
officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Underwriters or the Company or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any
controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities
sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

upon the parties hereto, including any substitute Underwriters pursuant to Section 10 hereof, and
to the benefit of the employees, officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in

30
Section 15. Partial Unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other Section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any Section, paragraph or provision of

to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and

Section 16. Patriot Act. The underwriters hereby notify the Company that pursuant to
the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)), they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company,
including the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow the
underwriters to identify the Company in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.
Section 17. Governing Law Provisions. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR
DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE
PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE.
Section 18. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the
purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the
public offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an
arms-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several
Underwriters, on the other hand, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and
understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to
such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the
financial advisor, agent or fiduciary of the Company or its affiliates, stockholders, creditors or
employees or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency
or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has
advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Underwriter has any
obligation to the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations
expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Underwriters and their respective
affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from
those of the Company and that the several Underwriters have no obligation to disclose any of such
interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Underwriters
have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering
contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax
advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.
This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral)
between the Company and the several Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject
matter hereof. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
claims that the Company may have against the several Underwriters with respect to any breach or
alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
31
Section 19. General Provisions. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of
the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral
agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each one of which shall be an original, with

of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and

interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code and such regulations by the courts and the Internal
Revenue Service, all as they are in effect and exist at the time of the
Exhibit A-3

set forth in the Prospectus, (d) the provisions of the Amended Restated Declaration of Trust of the

otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (i) the transfer of shares of Common Stock
under the ProLogis 401(k) Savings Plan and Trust pursuant to elections made by the undersigned,

subsidiary of the Operating Partnership as of the date hereof pursuant to a valid deferral
election. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the
Representatives, he will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 30 days

transfer instructions with the Companys transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the
undersigneds shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Offering. The undersigned further understands
that this Letter Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigneds heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns. This Letter Agreement shall be null and void in the event
the Offering is not completed.
Whether or not the Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market
conditions. Any offering will only be made pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the terms of
which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.
