B. Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Partnership Agreement”), the Company as general partner of the Partnership hereby grants to the Grantee a Full Value Award (as defined in the Plan, referred to herein as an “Award”) in the form of, and by causing the Partnership to issue to the Grantee, the number of LTIP Units (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) set forth above (the “Award LTIP Units”) having the rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption and conversion set forth herein and in the Partnership Agreement.

[C. Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Prologis Promote Plan (as amended, restated and supplemented from time to time, the “Promote Plan”), the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that a Bonus (as defined in the Promote Plan) was payable to the Grantee in connection with certain incentive distributions paid to the Company or its affiliate by [Applicable Fund]. This Award represents the portion of such Bonus payable to the Grantee, who is a Senior Executive (as defined in the Promote Plan), in shares of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or LTIP Units (as such terms are defined in the Promote Plan), as determined by the Committee in accordance with the terms of the Promote Plan.] [For Promote Plan awards only]

[C. This Award represents the Grantee’s award under the Company’s Annual Performance Award earned in 20[__]] [For annual awards]

[C. This Award represents the Grantee’s equity award received in connection with the Grantee’s onboarding as a new employee.] [For new hire awards]

D. Upon the close of business on the Grant Effective Date pursuant to this LTIP Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), the Grantee shall receive the number of LTIP Units specified above, subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein[, in the Promote Plan]¹, in the Plan, and in the Partnership Agreement. [Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings given to those terms in the Promote Plan.]

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Partnership and the Grantee agree as follows:

1. Effectiveness of Award. The Grantee shall be admitted as a partner of the Partnership with beneficial ownership of the Award LTIP Units as of the Grant Effective Date by (i) signing and delivering to the Partnership a copy of this Agreement, (ii) signing, as a Limited Partner, and delivering to the Partnership a counterpart signature page to the Partnership Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A) and (iii) making a Capital Contribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) in cash in the amount of $0.01 per Award LTIP Unit to the Partnership (the “Per Unit Contribution”). Upon execution of this Agreement by the Grantee, the Partnership and the Company, the books and records of the Partnership maintained by the General Partner shall reflect the issuance to the Grantee of the Award LTIP Units. Thereupon, the Grantee shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of the Partnership with respect to a number of LTIP Units equal to the Award LTIP Units, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified in Section 2 below and elsewhere herein. The LTIP Units are uncertificated securities of the Partnership and upon the Grantee’s request the General Partner shall confirm the number of LTIP Units issued to the Grantee.

2. Vesting and Forfeiture of Award LTIP Units.

(i) Subject to Section 11 hereof, and subsection 4.3 of the Plan, the Award LTIP Units will vest on the vesting schedule set forth below, if the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries continues through such date (each a “Vesting Date”); provided, however, that (a) if the Grantee’s Termination Date (as defined in the Plan) occurs by reason of death or Disability (as defined in the Plan), or if the Grantee terminates employment after satisfying the eligibility requirement for Retirement (as defined below) (the “Age and Service Conditions”), any unvested Award LTIP Units shall vest immediately on the Termination Date and the Termination Date shall be deemed the “Vesting Date” for purposes of this Agreement, and (b) all Award LTIP Units that are not vested on or before the Grantee’s Termination Date shall thereupon, and with no further action, be forfeited by the Grantee.

“Retirement” means the occurrence of a Grantee’s Termination Date after either one of the following conditions are met: (A) the Grantee has attained at least age 55 and has completed at least fifteen (15) years of service with the Company and the Related Companies (including any predecessors thereto) or (B) the Grantee has attained at least age 60 and the sum of his or her age and years of service with the Company and the Related Companies (including any predecessors thereto) equals or exceeds seventy (70).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Award is subject to the Recoupment Policy set forth in the Prologis Governance Guidelines and any other clawback policies that are adopted by the Company.

(iii) Except as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, upon the Grantee’s Termination Date, the unvested Award LTIP Units will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to the Company and Grantee’s right to vest in the Award LTIP Units will immediately terminate. For purposes of this Award, the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine Grantee’s Termination Date.

3. Distributions. The Grantee shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to the Award LTIP Units to the extent provided for in the Partnership Agreement as follows:

(a) The Award LTIP Units are hereby designated as regular “LTIP Units.”

(b) The LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) with respect to the Award LTIP Units is the Grant Effective Date.

4. Rights with Respect to Award LTIP Units. Without duplication with the provisions of Section 4 of the Plan[, the Promote Plan,] or Section 1.14 of Exhibit K to the Partnership Agreement, if (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Company or a transaction similar thereto, (ii) any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, reclassification, recapitalization, or other similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than ordinary cash dividends, shall occur, or (iii) any other event shall occur which, in each case in the judgment of the Committee, necessitates action by way of adjusting the terms of this Award, then and in that event, the Committee may take such action, if any, as it determines to be reasonably required to maintain the Grantee’s rights hereunder so that they are substantially proportionate to the rights existing under this Agreement prior to such event, including, but not limited to, substitution of other awards under the Plan.

5. Incorporation of [Promote Plan and ]the Plan; Interpretation by Committee. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms, conditions, limitations and definitions contained in [the Promote Plan and] the Plan. In the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between this Agreement[, the Promote Plan] and the Plan, the terms and conditions of the [Promote] Plan shall control. The Committee may make such rules and regulations and establish such procedures for the administration of this Agreement as it deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may interpret [the Promote Plan,] the Plan and this Agreement, with such interpretations to be conclusive and binding on all persons and otherwise accorded the maximum deference permitted by law. In the event of any dispute or disagreement as to interpretation of [the Promote Plan,] the Plan or this Agreement or of any rule, regulation or procedure, or as to any question, right or obligation arising from or related to [the Promote Plan,] the Plan or this Agreement, the decision of the Committee shall be final and binding upon all persons.

6. Restrictions on Transfer.

(i) Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee, none of the Award LTIP Units granted hereunder nor any of the common units of the Partnership into which such Award LTIP Units may be converted (the “Award Common Units”) shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of, or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law (each such action a “Transfer”) and right to Redemption (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) may not be exercised until such Award LTIP Units have vested pursuant to Section 2 hereof; provided, however, that Award LTIP Units may be Transferred prior to such date in accordance with Section 6.5 of the Plan, so long as the Transferee agrees in writing with the Company and the Partnership to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement and that subsequent Transfers shall be prohibited except those in accordance with this Section 6.

(ii) The right to Redemption may be exercised with respect to Award Common Units, and Award Common Units may be Transferred to the Partnership or the Company in connection with the exercise thereof, in accordance with and to the extent otherwise permitted by the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the General Partner, the right to Redemption shall not be exercisable with respect to any Award Common Units until two (2) years after the Grant Effective Date; provided however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply (i) if the right of Redemption is exercised in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) or (ii) in connection with an LTIP Unit Forced Conversion in connection with a Capital Transaction as described in the Partnership Agreement.

(iii) Additionally, all Transfers of Award LTIP Units or Award Common Units must be in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act (as defined in the Partnership Agreement)) and the applicable terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement. In connection with any Transfer of Award LTIP Units or Award Common Units, the Partnership may require the Grantee to provide an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Partnership, that such Transfer is in compliance with all federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act).

(iv) Any attempted Transfer of Award LTIP Units or Award Common Units not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 6 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Award LTIP Units or Award Common Units as a result of any such Transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such Transfer of any Award LTIP Units or Award Common Units.

(v) This Agreement is personal to the Grantee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

7. Legend. The books and records of the Partnership or other documentation evidencing the Award LTIP Units shall bear an appropriate legend or notation, as determined by the Partnership in its sole discretion, to the effect that such LTIP Units are subject to restrictions as set forth herein, [in the Promote Plan,] in the Plan and in the Partnership Agreement.

8. Tax Matters; Section 83(b) Election. The Grantee hereby agrees to make an election to include in gross income in the year of transfer the unvested Award LTIP Units hereunder pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code (as defined in the Plan) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and to supply the necessary information in accordance with the regulations promulgated thereunder.

9. Withholding and Taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Grantee for income tax purposes or subject to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholding with respect to the Award LTIP Units granted hereunder, the Grantee will pay to the Company or, if appropriate, any of its subsidiaries, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. If this Award results in the payment of cash to the Grantee or the issuance of shares of common stock, the Company shall have the right to deduct from all payments hereunder any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments, either in cash or, with the approval of the Committee, in the form of shares of common stock, with such shares valued based on the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) as of the date the withholding is in effect. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its subsidiaries also shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Grantee.

10. Amendment; Modification. This Agreement may only be modified or amended in a writing signed by the parties hereto, provided that the Grantee acknowledges that the Plan [and the Promote Plan] may be amended or discontinued in accordance with Section 7 of the Plan [and Section 9 of the Promote Plan], and that this Agreement may be amended or canceled by the Committee, on behalf of the Company and the Partnership, for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, so long as no such action shall adversely affect the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement without the Grantee’s written consent. No promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, with respect to the subject matter

hereof, have been made by the parties which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. The failure of the Grantee or the Company or the Partnership to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement, or to assert any right the Grantee or the Company or the Partnership, respectively, may have under this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

11. Change in Control.

(i) In the event that, prior to the Vesting Date and prior to the date on which any applicable Award LTIP Units have otherwise been forfeited and (a) while the Grantee is an employee and is providing services to the Company or a Related Company (as defined in the Plan), the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or the successor to the Company or a Related Company which is the Grantee’s employer for reasons other than Cause (as defined in the Plan), in any such case within 24 months following a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) or (b) the Plan is terminated by the Company or its successor following a Change in Control without provision for the continuation of this Award to the extent then unvested, then the Award LTIP Units (or to the extent applicable such other award, security or right to payment into which such Award LTIP Units converted in connection with the Change in Control, as determined by the parties to such Change in Control) to the extent they have not otherwise cancelled or forfeited, shall immediately vest and the date of the vesting shall be the “Vesting Date.”

(ii) For purposes of this Section 11, the Grantee’s employment shall be deemed to be terminated by the Company or its successor (or a Related Company) if the Grantee terminates employment after (i) a substantial adverse alteration in the nature of the Grantee’s status or responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, or (ii) a material reduction in the Grantee’s annual base salary and target bonus, if any, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. In any event, if, upon a Change in Control, awards in other shares or securities are substituted for outstanding Awards pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan (or a successor provision), and immediately following the Change in Control, the Grantee becomes employed by the entity into which the Company merged, or the purchaser of substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a successor to such entity or purchaser, the Grantee shall not be treated as having terminated employment for purposes of this Section 11 until such time as the Grantee ceases to be an employee and/or ceases to provide services to the merged entity or purchaser (or successor), as applicable.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award LTIP Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award LTIP Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the stock of the Company or the equity securities of the Partnership.

12. Complete Agreement. This Agreement (together with those agreements and documents expressly referred to herein, for the purposes referred to herein) embody the complete and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, which may relate to the subject matter hereof in any way.

13. Investment Representation; Registration. The Grantee hereby makes the covenants, representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto as of the Grant Effective Date. All of such covenants, warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Grantee. The Grantee shall immediately notify the Partnership upon discovering that any of the representations or warranties set forth on Exhibit C was false when made or have, as a result of changes in circumstances, become false. The Partnership will have no obligation to register under the Securities Act any of the Award LTIP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of the Award LTIP Units into other limited partnership interests of the Partnership or shares of capital stock of the Company.

14. No Obligation to Continue Employment or Other Service Relationship. Neither the Company nor any Related Company is obligated by or as a result of the Plan, [the Promote Plan] or this Agreement to continue to have the Grantee provide services to it or to continue the Grantee in employment and neither the Plan, the Promote Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate its service relationship with the Grantee or the employment of the Grantee at any time.

15. No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation plans, agreements or arrangements, and any such plans, agreements and arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases or to specific persons.

16. Status of Award LTIP Units under the Plan. The Award LTIP Units are both issued as equity securities of the Partnership and granted as a “Full Value Award” under the Plan. The Company will have the right at its option, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, to issue Common Stock in exchange for partnership units into which Award LTIP Units may have been converted pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement, and such Common Stock, if issued, will be issued under the Plan. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee will have no right to approve or disapprove such election by the Company.

17. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or under any applicable law, rule or regulation, then such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable law (or if such provision cannot be so construed or deemed amended without materially altering the purpose or intent of this Agreement and the grant of Award LTIP Units hereunder, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction and the remainder of this Agreement and the award hereunder shall remain in full force and effect).

18. Section 409A. If any compensation provided by this Agreement may result in the application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall, in consultation with the Grantee, modify the Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary in order to, where applicable, (i) exclude such compensation from the definition of “deferred compensation” within the meaning of such Section 409A or (ii) comply with the provisions of Section 409A, other applicable provision(s) of the Code and/or any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such statutory provisions and to make such modifications, in each case, without any diminution in the value of the benefits granted hereby to the Grantee.

19. Law Governing. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW WHICH COULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF MARYLAND.
