Exhibit 10.1
THIRD AMENDMENT OF THE
PROLOGIS 2006 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
September 15, 2010
     WHEREAS, ProLogis maintains the ProLogis 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); and
     WHEREAS, amendment of the Plan is now considered desirable;
     NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended in the following particulars, all effective as of the date on which the Board of Trustees of ProLogis (the “Board”) approves the amendments to the Plan:
     1. By substituting the following for subsection 3.2 of the Plan:
     3.2 Special Vesting Rules. If an employee’s right to become vested in a Full Value Award is conditioned on the completion of a specified period of service with ProLogis or the Related Companies, without achievement of performance targets or other performance objectives (whether or not related to performance measures) being required as a condition of vesting, and without it being granted in lieu of other compensation, then the required period of service for full vesting shall be not less than three years (subject, to the extent provided by the Committee, to pro rated vesting over the course of such three-year period and to acceleration of vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability, Retirement, Change in Control or involuntary termination). The foregoing requirements shall not apply to grants that are a form of payment of earned performance awards or other incentive compensation.
     2. By substituting the following for subsection 3.3 of the Plan:
     3.3 Performance-Based Compensation. The Committee may designate a Full Value Award or Cash Incentive Award granted to any Participant as “Performance-Based Compensation” within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder. To the extent required by section 162(m) of the Code, any Full Value Award or Cash Incentive Award so designated shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more performance targets as determined by the Committee and the following additional requirements shall apply:
(a) The performance targets established for the performance period established by the Committee shall be objective (as that term is described

 


 

in regulations under section 162(m) of the Code), and shall be established in writing by the Committee not later than 90 days after the beginning of the performance period (but in no event after 25% of the performance period has elapsed), and while the outcome as to the performance targets is substantially uncertain. The performance targets established by the Committee may be with respect to corporate performance, operating group or sub-group performance, individual company performance, other group or individual performance, or division performance, and shall be based on one or more of the Performance Criteria.
(b) A Participant otherwise entitled to receive a Full Value Award or Cash Incentive Award for any performance period shall not receive a settlement or payment of the Award until the Committee has determined that the applicable performance target(s) have been attained. To the extent that the Committee exercises discretion in making the determination required by this subsection 3.3(b), such exercise of discretion may not result in an increase in the amount of the payment.
(c) Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, if a Participant’s employment terminates because of death or Disability, or if a Change in Control occurs prior to the Participant’s Termination Date, the Participant’s Cash Incentive Award shall become vested without regard to whether the Cash Incentive Award would be Performance-Based Compensation.
(d) A Full Value Award designated as Performance-Based Compensation shall not vest prior to the first anniversary of the date on which it is granted (subject to acceleration of vesting, to the extent provided by the Committee, in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability, or Change in Control).
Nothing in this Section 3 shall preclude the Committee from granting Full Value Awards or Cash Incentive Awards under the Plan or the Committee, ProLogis or any Related Company from granting any Cash Incentive Awards outside of the Plan that are not intended to be Performance-Based Compensation; provided, however, that, at the time of grant of Full Value Awards or Cash Incentive Awards by the Committee, the Committee shall designate whether such Awards are intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation. To the extent that the provisions of this Section 3 reflect the requirements applicable to Performance-Based Compensation, such provisions shall not apply to the portion of the Award, if any, that is not intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation.
