(each a Guarantor and together the Guarantors), for the benefit of the Credit Parties (as defined below). Schedule 1 hereto lists the location for various capitalized terms used herein.
R E C I T A L S:
1. PLD International Incorporated (Borrower), various lenders (the Lenders) and J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, as administrative agent (Administrative Agent; Administrative Agent and the Lenders, together with their successors and assigns and each Indemnitee (as defined in the Credit Facility referred to below), are referred to as the Credit Parties), have entered into a Senior Bridge Loan Agreement dated as of April 21, 2011 (as amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the Credit Facility), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to extend credit to Borrower.
2. Pursuant to various transactions among Guarantors and their affiliates and Prologis, a Maryland real estate investment trust formerly known as ProLogis, and its affiliates, Borrower has become an indirect subsidiary of each Guarantor.
3. Accordingly, Guarantors will benefit from credit extensions made by the Credit Parties to Borrower and are willing to guarantee repayment of such obligations as more fully set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantors agree as follows:
SECTION 1
NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
1.1 Definition of Guaranteed Debt. As used herein, the term Guaranteed Debt means:
(a) All principal, interest and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Borrower to the Credit Parties at any time created or arising under or in connection with the Credit Facility; and
(b) All costs, expenses and fees, including court costs and reasonable attorneys fees, in each case arising in connection with the collection of any or all amounts, indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Guarantors under this Guaranty.
1.2 Guaranteed Debt Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Debt, and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantors hereunder, shall not be reduced, discharged or released because of any existing or future offset, claim or defense (other than the defense of indefeasible
payment and satisfaction in full in cash) of Borrower, either Guarantor or any other Person against any Credit Party or against payment of the Guaranteed Debt, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Debt (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Debt) or otherwise.
1.3 Guaranty of Obligation. Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (a) the due and punctual payment of the Guaranteed Debt and (b) the timely performance of all other obligations now or hereafter owed by Borrower to the Credit Parties under the Credit Facility. Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Debt as primary obligor.
1.4 Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is intended to be an irrevocable, absolute and continuing guaranty of payment and is not merely a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by either Guarantor. The fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Debt may be increased, reduced or paid in full shall not release, discharge or reduce the obligation of either Guarantor with respect to indebtedness or obligations of Borrower to the Credit Parties thereafter incurred (or other Guaranteed Debt thereafter arising) under or in connection with the Credit Facility. This Guaranty may be enforced by the Credit Parties and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Guaranteed Debt.
1.5 Payment by Guarantors. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt shall not be paid when due, whether at maturity or earlier by acceleration or otherwise, then Guarantors shall, immediately upon demand by Administrative Agent, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of intention to accelerate or acceleration, or any other notice whatsoever, pay, in the currency required by the Credit Facility, the amount due on the Guaranteed Debt to Administrative Agent at the account specified by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 3.8.2 of the Credit Facility. Any such demand may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Debt, and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Debt. Any such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with Section 6.2.
1.6 Payment of Expenses. If a Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provision of this Guaranty, then such Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by the Credit Parties in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of the Credit Parties rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this Section 1.6 shall survive the payment of the Guaranteed Debt.
1.7 No Duty to Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for any Credit Party (and each Guarantor hereby waives any right that such Guarantor may have to require any Credit Party), in order to enforce payment by such Guarantor, first to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or any other Person liable on the Guaranteed Debt, (b) enforce the Credit Parties rights against any security which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Debt, (c) join such Guarantor or any other Person liable on the Guaranteed Debt in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (d) exhaust any remedies available to the Credit Parties against any security which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Debt or

(e) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Debt. The Credit Parties shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Debt. Further, each Guarantor expressly waives each and every right to which it may be entitled by virtue of the suretyship law of New York and each other applicable jurisdiction.
1.8 Waiver of Notices, etc. Each Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Credit Facility and waives notice of (a) any loan or advance made by any Credit Party to Borrower, (b) acceptance of this Guaranty, (c) any amendment or extension of the Credit Facility or any other instrument or document pertaining to all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt, (d) the execution and delivery by Borrower and any Credit Party of any amendment or any other modification to the Credit Facility or any document related thereto, (e) the occurrence of any Event of Default, (f) any transfer of the Guaranteed Debt, or any part thereof, (g) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Debt, (h) protest, proof of nonpayment or default by Borrower or a Guarantor, (i) the release of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Debt and (j) any other action at any time taken or omitted by any Credit Party and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Credit Facility and any other document or agreement evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Debt.
1.9 Effect of Bankruptcy, Other Matters. If, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, or for any other reason, (a) any Credit Party must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Debt, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect; or (b) Borrower shall cease to be liable to the Credit Parties for any of the Guaranteed Debt (other than by reason of the indefeasible payment in full thereof), then the obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. The Credit Parties and Guarantors intend that Guarantors obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantors performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Credit Parties and Guarantors intend that the filing of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding by or against Borrower or any other Person obligated on any portion of the Guaranteed Debt shall not affect the obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty or the rights of the Credit Parties under this Guaranty, including the right or ability of the Credit Parties to pursue or institute suit against either Guarantor for the entire Guaranteed Debt.
1.10 Taxes. Each Guarantor hereby agrees to comply with the requirements of Section 4.1 of the Credit Facility with respect to any payments made by such Guarantor hereunder to any Credit Party.

SECTION 5
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
5.1 Subordination of Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term Guarantor Claims shall mean, with respect to a Guarantor, all debts and liabilities of Borrower to such Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, and whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by such Guarantor. The Guarantor Claims shall include all rights and claims of the applicable Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of such Guarantors payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Debt. Until the Guaranteed Debt shall be paid and satisfied in full and Guarantors shall have performed all of their obligations hereunder, neither Guarantor shall, at any time an Event of Default exists, receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other Person any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.
5.2 Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtors relief or other insolvency proceedings involving Borrower as debtor, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (a) to prove the claims of the Credit Parties in such proceedings so as to establish its rights hereunder and (b) to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian all dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable
Guaranty Agreement
(Senior Bridge Loan Agreement)
(Senior Bridge Loan Agreement)
- 8 -
upon any Guarantor Claim. Each Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent receives, for application upon the Guaranteed Debt, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to a Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower and such Guarantor, shall constitute a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to the Credit Parties in full of the Guaranteed Debt, such Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of the Credit Parties to the extent that such dividends and payments on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Debt, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Debt which would have been unpaid if the Administrative Agent had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.
5.3 Payments Held in Trust. In the event that, notwithstanding Sections 5.1 and 5.2, a Guarantor should receive any funds, payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited by such Sections, such Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for the Administrative Agent, in kind, all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over such funds, payments, claim or distributions so received except to pay them promptly to the Administrative Agent and such Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the Administrative Agent (subject to any agreement between such Guarantor and any holder of indebtedness that ranks pari passu with the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder).
5.4 Liens Subordinate. Each Guarantor agrees that any lien, security interest, judgment lien, charge or other encumbrance upon Borrowers assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims of such Guarantor shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any lien, security interest, judgment lien, charge or other encumbrance upon Borrowers assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Debt, regardless of whether such encumbrance in favor of such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent presently exists or is hereafter created or attaches. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, neither Guarantor shall (a) exercise or enforce any creditors right it may have against Borrower or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise, including the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtors relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any lien, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest, collateral right, judgment or other encumbrance on assets of Borrower held by such Guarantor.
5.5 Notation of Records. If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Guarantor agrees that all promissory notes, accounts receivable ledgers or other evidences of the Guarantor Claims accepted by or held by such Guarantor shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Guaranty.
SECTION 6
MISCELLANEOUS
6.1 Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Credit Party, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
