     “ Voting Credit Party ” means (a) each Global Lender, in each case in its capacity as a “ Lender ” under the Global Credit Agreement (and not in its capacity as a party to any Hedging Agreement or, except as provided in clause (b) of this definition, as the holder of any Other DS Debt), and (b) each holder of Other DS Debt (other than (i) any Noteholder or any Representative thereof and (ii) ProLogis or any Affiliate thereof) that has been designated by ProLogis as a Voting Credit Party pursuant to Section 8(b) .

     “ Voting Obligations ” means the Global Credit Agreement Obligations and any other Shared Credit Obligations that have been designated by ProLogis as Voting Obligations pursuant to Section 8(b) . For purposes of determining the amount of Voting Obligations necessary for action to be taken by the Majority Credit Parties, the amount of Voting Obligations shall be equal to (a) in the case of any revolving credit facility, the aggregate amount of the commitments under such revolving credit facility, provided that at any time that the Sharing Parties under such revolving credit facility (or a portion of such Sharing Parties) have the right to terminate the commitments under such revolving credit facility, then the amount of Voting Obligations under such revolving credit facility shall be equal to the principal amount outstanding under such revolving credit facility (including the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit); and (b) in the case of any other credit facility, the principal amount outstanding under such credit facility (including the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit).

     (b) The rules of interpretation set forth in Section 1.2 of the Global Credit Agreement shall apply in interpreting this Agreement (including all Exhibits hereto) as if such rules were fully set forth herein.

     (c) In order to calculate at any time the Aggregate Recovery Percentage, any Recovery Percentage, the Final Aggregate Recovery Percentage, any Final Recovery Percentage and the Majority Credit Parties, Credit Obligations denominated in currencies other than Dollars shall be converted into the Dollar Equivalent amount using the then applicable Spot Rate.

     (d) Any amount delivered to the Representative of any holder or group of holders of Other DSD Obligations hereunder shall conclusively be deemed to have been received by such holder or holders, and the delivering Credit Party shall have no obligation to determine whether such amount is properly applied by such Representative or any liability for any action or inaction by such Representative.

     (e) For purposes of calculating the Recovery Percentage and the Final Recovery Percentage of any Global Lender, the Aggregate Recovery Percentage and the Final Aggregate Recovery Percentage, Credit Obligations shall not include Global Credit Agreement Obligations of any Affiliate Borrower that is not a Subsidiary of ProLogis to the extent such Global Credit Agreement Obligations have been paid or satisfied with Recoveries from such Affiliate Borrower.

     (f) If a Purchasing Credit Party has paid any amount and/or made any transfer of Recoveries pursuant to Section 5(d) for the benefit of a Sharing Noteholder (and not for the purchase of a participation from such Sharing Noteholder), then (i) the relevant Shared Credit Obligations of such Purchasing Credit Party shall be deemed to be increased as if such Purchasing Credit Party had purchased from such Sharing Noteholder an absolute assignment of the relevant Shared Credit Obligations (and all interest and other amounts payable with respect to such Shared Credit Obligations after the date of such deemed purchase shall be for the account of such Purchasing Credit Party) and (ii) the relevant Shared Credit Obligations of such Sharing Noteholder shall be deemed to be decreased as if such Sharing Noteholder had sold the relevant Shared Credit Obligations to such Purchasing Credit Party as of the date of such deemed purchase.

     (g) Any assignment or other transfer of Credit Obligations shall be an assignment or transfer of an undivided percentage interest in the Direct Obligations of a particular Obligor in a particular currency under a particular Financing Agreement (and, in the case of the Global Credit Agreement and any other multi-tranche Financing Agreement, under a particular tranche), and, concurrently with or promptly after any assignment or transfer made after the Trigger Date, the assignor and assignee or transferor and transferee shall give Collateral Agent notice of the Direct Obligor with respect to, and the currency of, the Credit Obligations so assigned and the Financing Agreement (and, if applicable, the tranche) under which such Credit Obligations arose. For purposes of determining the Recovery Percentage and the Final Recovery Percentage of any Sharing Party that has transferred, or been the transferee of, any Shared Credit Obligations after the Trigger Date, the Trigger Date Credit Obligations of a transferee shall be increased by a ratable part (based on the relationship between the amount of the relevant Shared Credit Obligations (determined in accordance with the preceding sentence) transferred and the amount of the relevant Shared Credit Obligations held by the transferor immediately prior to the applicable transfer) of the relevant Trigger Date Credit Obligations of the transferor, as the date of the applicable transfer, and the relevant Trigger Date Credit Obligations of the transferor shall be reduced correspondingly as of such date.

     (h) WHENEVER THE MAJORITY CREDIT PARTIES ARE GRANTED, AND EXERCISE, THE RIGHT TO MAKE A DECISION OR DETERMINATION PURSUANT HERETO, SUCH DECISION OR DETERMINATION SHALL BE MADE IN THEIR SOLE AND COMPLETE DISCRETION. THE VOTING CREDIT PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION OR DUTY (INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED OBLIGATION OF REASONABLENESS, GOOD FAITH OR FAIR DEALING) TO ANY NOTEHOLDER EXCEPT THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND NO NOTEHOLDER SHALL HAVE, AND EACH NOTEHOLDER EXPRESSLY (BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OF ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT) WAIVES AND DISCLAIMS, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON ANY VOTE, DECISION OR DETERMINATION (INCLUDING THE GIVING OR WITHHOLDING OF ANY CONSENT) MADE BY THE MAJORITY CREDIT PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

     (i) For the avoidance of doubt, a Person that holds different series of debt or debt arising under more than one Financing Agreement may be (i) a Global Lender with respect to some Credit Obligations, a Swap Party with respect to other Credit Obligations, a Noteholder with respect to other Credit Obligations and the holder of Other DS Debt with respect to other Credit Obligations and (ii) a Ratifying Noteholder with respect to some Credit Obligations, a Sharing Party with respect to some Credit Obligations and a Non-Sharing Party with respect to other Credit Obligations and, in each case, for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a separate legal entity in each such capacity. Thus, for example, if a Person is both a Global Lender and a Noteholder, references to the rights and duties of the

Global Lenders shall include such Person in its capacity as a Global Lender but shall exclude such Person in its capacity as a Noteholder.

SECTION 2. APPOINTMENT OF COLLATERAL AGENT.

     Each Credit Party (a) designates and appoints Bank of America to serve as Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Guaranties and the Security Documents; (b) authorizes Collateral Agent to enforce, on behalf of the Credit Parties (to the extent such Credit Parties are entitled to the benefits thereof), the obligations of the Obligors under the Guaranties and the Security Documents; (c) authorizes Collateral Agent to accept the parallel debt structure in any pledge agreement governed by Dutch law (including the Dutch Pledge Agreement described in item 3 on Schedule 3 ); and (d) authorizes Collateral Agent to exercise such other rights, powers and privileges as are granted to Collateral Agent by this Agreement, the Guaranties and the Security Documents, together with such other rights, powers and privileges as are reasonably incidental thereto.

SECTION 3. DECISIONS RELATING TO ADMINISTRATION AND EXERCISE OF REMEDIES VESTED IN THE MAJORITY CREDIT PARTIES; RESCISSION OF TRIGGER DATE.

     (a) Except as set forth in Section 3(g) , Collateral Agent agrees that it will not release Liens on Collateral or commence Enforcement without the direction of the Majority Credit Parties. Collateral Agent agrees to administer the Guaranties, the Security Documents and the Collateral and to make such demands and give such notices under the Guaranties and the Security Documents as the Majority Credit Parties may request, and to take such action to enforce the Guaranties and the Security Documents and to realize upon, collect and dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof as may be directed by the Majority Credit Parties. Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that is in the Opinion of Counsel contrary to law or to the terms of this Agreement, any Guaranty or any Security Document, or that would in the Opinion of Counsel subject Collateral Agent or any of its officers, employees, agents or directors to liability, and Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action under this Agreement, any Guaranty or any Security Document unless and until Collateral Agent shall be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by one or more of the Credit Parties against any and all loss, cost, expense or liability in connection therewith.

     (b) Each Credit Party agrees that Collateral Agent shall act as the Majority Credit Parties may request (regardless of whether any individual Credit Party agrees, disagrees or abstains with respect to such request, except for amendments that require otherwise in accordance with Section 11(b) ), that Collateral Agent shall have no liability for acting in accordance with such request ( provided such action does not conflict with the express terms of any Guaranty or any Security Document, it being understood that any such request by the Majority Credit Parties that conflicts with any express term of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a modification of this Agreement if such modification is permitted to be made by the Majority Credit Parties pursuant to Section 11(b) ) and that no Credit Party shall have any liability to any other Credit Party for any such request. Collateral Agent shall give prompt notice to all Credit Parties (or, in the case of any Credit Party that is represented by a Representative, such Representative) of action taken pursuant to the instructions of the Majority Credit Parties to enforce any Guaranty or any Security Document; provided that the failure to give any such notice shall not impair the right of Collateral Agent to take any such action or the validity of any action so taken.

     (c) Each Credit Party agrees that the only right of a Non-Directing Party (i) with respect to the Security Documents is for the Credit Obligations held by such Non-Directing Party to be secured pursuant to the Security Documents or, if such Non-Directing Party is a Non-Sharing Party, pursuant to the Pledge Agreements, and (ii) with respect to the Guaranties, is for the Credit Obligations held by such

Non-Directing Party to be supported by the Guaranties or secured by the Collateral for the period and to the extent provided in this Agreement and to share in the payments thereunder, if any, to the extent and at the times provided in this Agreement.

     (d) Collateral Agent may at any time request directions from the Majority Credit Parties as to any course of action or other matter relating hereto or relating to any Guaranty or any Security Document. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, directions given by the Majority Credit Parties to Collateral Agent shall be binding on all Credit Parties, for all purposes, except for amendments that require otherwise in accordance with Section 11(b) .

     (e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect the right of any Credit Party to give ProLogis, any Affiliate thereof or any other Obligor notice of any default or to accelerate or make demand for payment of its Credit Obligations under any Financing Agreement. Each Credit Party agrees not to take any action to enforce any term or provision of any Guaranty or Security Document or to enforce any of its rights in respect of any Collateral except through Collateral Agent in accordance with this Agreement; provided that if, after the Trigger Date, Collateral Agent fails to commence taking any action ( provided such action is permitted both by applicable law and the applicable Guaranty or Security Document) within thirty (30) days after the Majority Credit Parties request in writing that Collateral Agent take such action, then the Majority Credit Parties may take such action under such Guaranty or Security Document on behalf of those Credit Parties entitled to the benefits thereof.

     (f) Upon receipt of a written notice from a Credit Party of the existence of an Event of Default or if it has actual knowledge of the existence of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall promptly (and in any event no later than three Business Days after receipt of such notice in the manner provided in Section 11(a) ) give notice of such Event of Default to all Parties (in each case to the extent Collateral Agent has received the information necessary to give the applicable Party such notice). Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual or constructive knowledge or notice of the existence of any Event of Default until it has received written notice thereof stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”

     (g) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Collateral Agent may, without the approval of any other Credit Party (and notwithstanding any other provision hereof), (i) release any Obligor from any applicable Affiliate Guaranty if such Obligor ceases to be an Affiliate of ProLogis pursuant to a transaction not prohibited by, or otherwise may cease to be an Obligor without violating, the Global Credit Agreement or any Other DSD Agreement that gives rise to Voting Obligations (and regardless of the provisions set forth in any other Financing Agreement); or (ii) release any Collateral under any Security Document which the applicable Obligor is permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of, or which otherwise may be released from the security interest of the applicable Security Documents, without violating the Global Credit Agreement or any Other DSD Agreement that gives rise to Voting Obligations (and regardless of the provisions set forth in any other Financing Agreement) and execute and deliver such releases as may be necessary to terminate of record Collateral Agent’s security interest (for the benefit of the Credit Parties) in such Collateral. In determining whether any such release is permitted, Collateral Agent may rely upon (but shall not be obligated to obtain) instructions from Global Administrative Agent (as to wh
