Chief Executive Officer’s Certificate
     The undersigned, on behalf of ProLogis (the “Company”), acting pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Pricing Committee of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Company on March 9, 2010, hereby establishes two series of Debt Securities by means of this Chief Executive Officer’s Certificate in accordance with the Indenture, dated as of March 1, 1995 (the “Base Indenture,” and as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto, the Second Supplemental Indenture thereto, the Third Supplemental Indenture thereto, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture thereto, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture thereto, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture thereto, the Seventh Supplemental Indenture thereto, the Eighth Supplemental Indenture thereto, the Ninth Supplemental Indenture thereto and the Tenth Supplemental Indenture thereto, the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (successor in interest to State Street Bank and Trust Company), as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Chief Executive Officer’s Certificate shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.
6.250% Notes due 2017
     1. The series shall be entitled the “6.250% Notes due 2017” (the “2017 Notes”).
     2. The 2017 Notes initially shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 (except in each case for 2017 Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other 2017 Notes of or within the Series pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 906, 1107 or 1305 of the Indenture); provided, the Company may increase such aggregate principal amount upon the action of the Board to do so from time to time.
     3. The 2017 Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 6.250% per annum. The aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes is payable at maturity on March 15, 2017. The interest on this Series shall accrue from March 16, 2010 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest on the 2017 Notes will be payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on September 15, 2010. Interest shall be paid to persons in whose names the 2017 Notes are registered on the March 1 and September 1 preceding the Interest Payment Date (each a “Regular Record Date”).
     4. Payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the 2017 Notes (or Make-Whole Amount, if applicable) will be made, the 2017 Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and notices or demands to or upon the Company in respect of the 2017 Notes and the Indenture may be served, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York and the office of the Trustee, initially located at 180 E. Fifth Street, 4th Floor, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101, Attention: Corporate Trust Division.
     5. The 2017 Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior

  (1)   100% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes to be redeemed; or
 
  (2)   the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 2017 Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the 2017 Notes are redeemed on or after December 15, 2016, the Make-Whole Amount will be 100% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes to be redeemed.
