ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
     On May 26, 2006, ProLogis and Ted R. Antenucci entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement. The Amended and Restated Employment Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
     On May 26, 2006, ProLogis shareholders approved the ProLogis 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan. A copy of the ProLogis 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan has been filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
     On May 31, 2006, ProLogis and Mr. Antenucci entered into an Executive Protection Agreement. The Executive Protection Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated herein by reference. The Executive Protection Agreements provides that if within 24 months after a change in control occurs Mr. Antenucci is terminated without cause or resigns due to a material change in duties or the company’s failure to provide compensation or benefits in accordance with the agreement, then he is entitled to a lump-sum payment equal to three times his base salary and target bonus plus prorated portions of his base salary and target bonus for the year of termination. Mr. Antenucci would also be entitled to receive medical and life insurance for 36 months following termination and certain other benefits. A “change in control” is defined as the happening of any of the following:
    The consummation of a transaction, approved by the shareholders of ProLogis, to merge ProLogis into or consolidate ProLogis with another entity, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or adopt a plan of liquidation, provided, however, that a change in control is not deemed to have occurred by reason of a transaction, or a substantially concurrent or otherwise related series of transactions, upon the completion of which 50% or more of the beneficial ownership of the voting power of ProLogis, the surviving corporation or corporation directly or indirectly controlling ProLogis or the surviving corporation, as the case may be, is held by the same persons (although not necessarily in the same proportion) as held the beneficial ownership of the voting power of ProLogis immediately prior to the transaction or the substantially concurrent or otherwise related series of transactions, except that upon the completion thereof, employees or employee benefit plans of ProLogis may be a new holder of such beneficial ownership.
 
    The “beneficial ownership” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of ProLogis is acquired, other than from ProLogis, by any “person” as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit or other similar stock plan of ProLogis).
 
    At any time during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period were members of the board of trustees of ProLogis cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof (unless the election, or the nomination for election by ProLogis’s shareholders, of each new trustee was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the trustees still in office at the time of such election or nomination who were trustees at the beginning of such period).

EXHIBIT 10.1
AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
     THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT, made and entered into effective as of May 26, 2006 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Ted R. Antenucci (the “Executive”) and ProLogis, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”),
WITNESSETH THAT :
     WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company are parties to an employment agreement dated June 5, 2005 (the “Original Agreement”); and
     WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement to reflect certain changes to the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with the Company;
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, it is hereby covenanted and agreed by the Executive and the Company as follows:
     1.  Term . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive as its President of Global Development for the Agreement Term (as defined below), and the Employee hereby agrees to remain in the employ of the Company and to provide services during the Agreement Term in accordance with this Agreement. The “Agreement Term” shall be the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2010. Thereafter, the Agreement Term will be automatically extended for 12-month periods, unless one party to this Agreement provides notice of non-renewal to the other at least three months before the last day of the then current Agreement Term.
     2.  Performance of Services . The Executive’s employment with the Company shall be subject to the following:
(a)   During the Agreement Term, while the Executive is employed by the Company, the Executive shall devote his full time, energies and talents to serving as its President of Global Development.
 
(b)   The Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Executive agrees that he shall perform his duties faithfully and efficiently subject to the directions of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Executive’s duties may include providing services for both the Company and the Subsidiaries (as defined below), as determined by the Board of Trustees of the Company (the “Board”); provided, that the Executive shall not, without his consent, be assigned tasks that would be inconsistent with those of President of Global Development. The Executive shall have such authority, power, responsibilities and duties as are inherent in his positions (and the undertakings applicable to his positions) and necessary to carry out his responsibilities and the duties required of him hereunder.
 
(c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 2, during the Agreement Term, the Executive may devote reasonable time to activities other than those required under this Agreement, including the supervision of his personal investments, and

 


 

    activities involving professional, charitable, community, educational, religious and similar types of organizations, speaking engagements, membership on the boards of directors of other organizations, and similar types of activities, to the extent that such other activities do not in the judgment of the Board, inhibit or prohibit the performance of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement, or conflict in any material way with the business of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Executive shall not serve on the board of any business, or hold any other position with any business, without the consent of the Board.
 
(d)   For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity during any period in which at least a fifty percent interest in such entity is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (or a successor to the Company).
     3.  Compensation . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the Agreement Term, while the Executive is employed by the Company, the Company shall compensate him for his services as follows:
(a)   The Executive shall receive, for each 12-consecutive month period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on each anniversary thereof, in substantially equal monthly or more frequent installments, an annual base salary of not less than $565,000 (the “Salary”).
 
(b)   The Executive may receive an annual target bonus of $787,500 (the “Target Bonus”); provided, however, that the actual amount of the Target Bonus that will be earned by and payable to the Executive in any year will be determined upon the satisfaction of goals and objectives established by the Chief Executive Officer or a duly authorized committee of the Board thereof for such year and communicated to the Executive and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions of the Company’s bonus plan as in effect from time to time; and provided further that in no event shall the amount of the Executive’s annual bonus be less than 80 percent of the Target Bonus. The goals and objectives established for the Executive shall be similar in magnitude to the magnitude of the goals and objectives established for other members of the senior management of the Company.
 
(c)   As of the Effective Date, the Executive shall be granted 150,000 restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) under the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). Such RSUs shall vest on December 31, 2010 provided that the Executive’s Date of Termination has not occurred prior to that date. The RSUs shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as determined by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) in accordance with the LTIP.
 
(d)   As of the Effective Date, the Executive shall be granted 50,000 performance shares (the “Performance Shares”) under the LTIP. Such Performance Shares shall vest based on the Company’s performance as compared to a defined index of 50 publicly traded real estate companies under the performance program established by the Committee at the time of grant (the “Performance Measures”). Fifty percent of the Performance Shares will vest based on satisfaction of the Performance Measures for the period commencing on the

2


 

    Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2009 and fifty percent of the Performance Shares will vest based on satisfaction of the Performance Measures for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2010, provided, in each case, that the Executive’s Date of Termination has not occurred prior to the applicable vesting date. The Performance Shares shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as determined by the Committee in accordance with the LTIP.
 
(e)   For each 12-consecutive-month period during the Agreement Term beginning in December, 2006, the Executive shall be entitled to grants of equity-based awards under the LTIP having an annual aggregate value of $1.2 million. The date on which such grants shall occur, the types of grants and the terms and conditions applicable to such awards shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion under the LTIP (or a successor plan thereto), provided that the intent is that the awards made pursuant to this paragraph 3(e) will be made at the same time as annual LTIP awards are made to other senior executives of the Company and that the first such grant will be made in December, 2006.
 
(f)   Except as otherwise specifically provided to the contrary in this Agreement, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements to the same extent and on the same terms as those benefits are provided by the Company from time to time to the Company’s other similarly situated senior management employees. However, the Company shall not be required to provide a benefit under this subparagraph 3(f) if such benefit would duplicate (or otherwise be of the same type as) a benefit specifically required to be provided under another provision of this Agreement. The Executive shall complete all forms and physical examinations, and otherwise take all other similar actions to secure coverage and benefits described in this subparagraph 3(f), to the extent determined to be necessary or appropriate by the Company.
 
(g)   The Executive is authorized to incur reasonable expenses for entertainment, traveling, meals, lodging and similar items in promoting the Company’s business. The Company will reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses so incurred in accordance with the normal practices of the Company.
 
(h)   Change in Control . Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of subparagraphs 3(c), 3(d) and 3(e), in the event that (i) following a Change in Control, the Executive’s Date of Termination occurs as a result of termination by the Company (or a successor) for reasons other than Cause or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in subparagraph 4(d)), or (ii) the LTIP is terminated by the Company or a successor following a Change in Control without provision for the continuation of the outstanding equity-based awards granted to the Executive pursuant to the Original Agreement (the “Protected Awards”), any portion of the then outstanding Protected Awards shall become immediately fully vested and, to the extent applicable, exercisable. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” means the happening of any of the following:

3


 

  (i)   The consummation of a transaction, approved by the shareholders of the Company, to merge the Company into or consolidate the Company with another entity, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or adopt a plan of liquidation, provided, however, that a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred by reason of a transaction, or a substantially concurrent or otherwise related series of transactions, upon the completion of which 50% or more of the beneficial ownership of the voting power of the Company, the surviving corporation or corporation directly or indirectly controlling the Company or the surviving corporation, as the case may be, is held by the same persons (as defined below) (although not necessarily in the same proportion) as held the beneficial ownership of the voting power of the Company immediately prior to the transaction or the substantially concurrent or otherwise related series of transactions, except that upon the completion thereof, employees or employee benefit plans of the Company may be a new holder of such beneficial ownership.
 
  (ii)   The “beneficial ownership” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of securities representing 50% of more of the combined voting power of the Company is acquired, other than from the Company, by any “person” as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit or other similar stock plan of the Company).
 
  (iii)   At any time during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period were members of the Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof (unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, of each new trustee was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the trustees still in office at the time of such election or nomination who were trustees at the beginning of such period).
 
  (iv)   For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall be defined as indicated:
               (1) The term “Beneficial Owner” shall mean beneficial owner as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.
               (2) Entities shall be treated as being under “common control” during any period in which they are “affiliates” of each other as that term is defined in the Exchange Act.
               (3) The term “person” shall be as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, but shall exclude any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit or other similar stock plan of the Company.
If, upon a Change in Control, awards in other shares or securities are substituted pursuant to the LTIP for outstanding Protected Awards, and immediately following the Change in Control, the Executive 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

4


 

Executive shall not be treated as having terminated employment for purposes of this subparagraph 3(h) until such time as the Executive terminates employment with the merged entity or purchaser (or successor), as applicable.
(i)   Executive Protection Agreement . As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, the Company and the Executive shall enter into an Executive Protection Agreement in the Company’s standard form as modified to take into account the provisions of this Agreement.
     4.  Termination . The Executive’s employment with the Company during the Agreement Term may be terminated by the Company or the Executive without any breach of this Agreement only under the circumstances described in subparagraphs 4(a) through 4(f):
(a)   Death . The Executive’s employment hereunder will terminate upon his death.
 
(b)   Permanent Disability . The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during any period in which he is Permanently Disabled. The Executive shall be considered “Permanently Disabled” during any period in which he is unable, by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, to engage in the material and substantial duties of his regular occupation, and such condition is expected to be permanent, as determined by the Board.
 
(c)   Cause . The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean in the reasonable judgment of the Board (i) the willful and continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties with the Company or any subsidiary after written notification by the Company or subsidiary, (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in conduct which is demonstrably injurious to the Company or any subsidiary, monetarily or otherwise, or (iii) the engaging by the Executive in egregious misconduct involving serious moral turpitude. For purposes hereof, no act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that such action was in the best interest of the Company or subsidiary.
 
(d)   Constructive Discharge . If (I) the Executive provides written notice to the Company of the occurrence of Good Reason (as defined below) within a reasonable time after the Executive has knowledge of the circumstances constituting Good Reason, which notice shall specifically identifies the circumstances which the Executive believes constitute Good Reason; (II) the Company fails to notify the Executive of the Company’s intended method of correction within a reasonable period of time after the Company receives the notice, or the Company fails to correct the circumstances within a reasonable time after such notice (except that no such opportunity to correct shall be applicable if the circumstances constituting Good Reason are those described in clause (iii) below, relating to relocation); and (III) the Executive resigns within a reasonable time after receiving the Company’s response, if such notice does not indicate an intention to correct such circumstances, or within a reasonable time after the Company fails to correct such circumstances; then the Executive shall be considered to have been subject to a

5


 

    Constructive Discharge by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, without the Executive’s express written consent (and except in consequence of a prior termination of the Executive’s employment), the occurrence of any of the following circumstances:
  (i)   The assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent with the Executive’s position and status as President of Global Development of the Company.
 
  (ii)   A reduction by the Company in the Executive’s Salary to an amount that is less than required under subparagraph 3(a).
 
  (iii)   The relocation of the Executive’s base office to an office that is more than 30 highway miles of the Executive’s base office on the Effective Date.
 
  (iv)   The failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform this Agreement.
 
  (v)   Any purported termination of the Executive’s employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of subparagraph 4(h) below (and, if applicable, the requirements of subparagraph 4(b) above), and for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective.
    The Executive’s right to terminate his employment pursuant to this subparagraph 4(d) shall not be affected by his incapacity due to physical or mental illness. The Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason hereunder.
 
(e)   Termination by Executive . The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder at any time for any reason by giving the Company prior written Notice of Termination (as defined in subparagraph 4(g)), which Notice of Termination shall be effective not less than 30 days after it is given to the Company, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Executive to specify a reason for any such termination. However, to the extent that the procedures specified in subparagraph 4(d) are required, the procedures of this subparagraph 4(e) may not be used in lieu of the procedures required under subparagraph 4(d).
 
(f)   Termination by Company . The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time for any reason, by giving the Executive prior written Notice of Termination, which Notice of Termination shall be effective immediately, or such later time as is specified in such notice. The Company shall not be required to specify a reason for the termination under this subparagraph 4(f), provided that termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company shall be deemed to have occurred under this subparagraph 4(f) only if it is not for reasons described in subparagraph 4(b), 4(c), 4(d), or 4(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph 4(f), if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company in accordance with this subparagraph 4(f), and within a reasonable time period thereafter, it is determined by the Board that circumstances existed which would have constituted a basis for termination of

6


 

    the Executive’s employment for Cause in accordance with subparagraph 4(c) disregarding circumstances which could have been remedied if notice had been given in accordance with subparagraph 4(c), the Executive’s employment will be deemed to have been terminated for Cause in accordance with subparagraph 4(c).
 
(g)   Notice of Termination . Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or the Executive (other than a termination pursuant to subparagraph 4(a)) must be communicated by a written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a dated notice which indicates the Date of Termination (not earlier than the date on which the notice is provided), and which indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied on and which sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances, if any, claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.
 
(h)   Date of Termination . “Date of Termination” means the last day the Executive is employed by the Company and its affiliates, provided that the Executive’s employment is terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 4.
 
(i)   Effect of Termination . If, on the Date of Termination, the Executive is a member of the Board or the board of trustees or board of directors any of the Subsidiaries, or holds any other position with the Company and the Subsidiaries (other than the position described in subparagraph 2(a)), the Executive shall resign from all such positions as of the Date of Termination.
     5.  Rights Upon Termination . The Executive’s right to payment and benefits under this Agreement for periods after his Date of Termination shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions of this paragraph 5:
(a)   If the Executive’s Date of Termination occurs during the Agreement Term for any reason, the Company shall pay to the Executive:
  (i)   The Executive’s Salary (to the extent not previously paid) for the period ending on the Date of Termination.
 
  (ii)   Payment for unused vacation days, as determined in accordance with Company policy as in effect from time to time.
 
  (iii)   If the Date of Termination occurs after the end of a performance period and prior to the payment of the Target Bonus (as described in subparagraph 3(b)) for the period, the Executive shall be paid such bonus amount at the regularly scheduled time.
 
  (iv)   Any other payments or benefits to be provided to the Executive by the Company pursuant to any employee benefit plans or arrangements adopted by the Company, to the extent such amounts are due from the Company.
    Except as may otherwise be expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Executive to be treated as

7


 

    employed by the Company for purposes of any employee benefit plan or arrangement following the date of the Executive’s Date of Termination.
 
(b)   If the Executive’s Date of Termination occurs during the Agreement Term under circumstances described in subparagraph 4(a) (relating to the Executive’s death), subparagraph 4(b) (relating to the Executive’s being Permanently Disabled), subparagraph 4(c) (relating to the Executive’s termination for Cause), subparagraph 4(e) (relating to the Executive’s resignation), or if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates after the end of the Agreement Term then, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing between the Executive and the Company, the Company shall have no obligation to make payments under the Agreement for periods after the Executive’s Date of Termination; provided, however that if the Date of Termination occurs as a result of death or on account of the Executive being Permanently Disabled, equity-based awards granted to the Executive under the LTIP (or a successor plan thereto), to the extent then outstanding, shall be fully vested as of the Date of Termination.
 
(c)   If the Executive’s Date of Termination occurs during the Agreement Term under circumstances described in subparagraph 4(d) (relating to Constructive Discharge) or subparagraph 4(f) (relating to termination by the Company without Cause), then, in addition to the amounts payable in accordance with subparagraph 5(a):
  (i)   The Executive shall receive from the Company for the period (the “Severance Period”) from the Date of Termination continuing through the end of the Agreement Term, or, if later, the six-month anniversary of the Date of Termination, the Salary amount described in subparagraph 3(a), as in effect on his Date of Termination, in monthly or more frequent installments as is required under that subparagraph. The Severance Period, and the Company’s obligation to make payments under this clause (i) shall cease with respect to periods after the earlier to occur of the date of the Executive’s death, or a date, if any, of the breach by the Executive of the provisions of paragraphs 8 or 9 of this Agreement. In no event, however, shall the Executive be entitled to receive any amounts, rights, or benefits under this subparagraph 5(c) unless he executes a release of claims against the Company in a form prepared by the Company.
 
  (ii)   Continuation of coverage under the employee benefit plans and arrangements of the Company in which the Executive was participating at the time of his termination of employment for the Severance Period; provided that in no event shall the benefits provided (or made available) with respect to any plan or arrangement under this clause (c)(ii) be materially less favorable to the Executive than the benefits most favorable to the Executive that are provided (or were available) during the one-year period prior to such termination of employment. In determining the amount of benefits to which the Executive is entitled under this clause (c)(ii), it shall be assumed that the Executive shall continue to be entitled to the salary that he was receiving immediately prior to the termination, and the bonus for the year prior to the year in which the termination occurs. If the Company reasonably determines that the Executive cannot participate in any

8


 

      benefit plan because he is not actively performing services for the Company, then, in lieu of providing benefits under any such plan, the Company shall make payments to the Executive equal to the reduction in funding cost resulting from the Executive’s exclusion from such plan, which payments shall fully satisfy any obligation of the Company to continue benefits under such plans; provided that the Company shall not be permitted to provide substitute benefits under this clause (c)(ii) with respect to medical insurance, life insurance or disability benefits.
 
  (iii)   All of the RSUs granted to the Executive pursuant to section 3(c), all of the Performance Shares granted to the Executive pursuant to section 3(d), and any other equity-based awards granted to the Executive under the LTIP (or a successor plan thereto), to the extent then outstanding, shall be fully vested as of the Date of Termination.
(d)   Except as may be otherwise specifically provided in an amendment of this subparagraph 5(d) adopted in accordance with paragraph 16, the Executive’s rights under this paragraph 5 shall be in lieu of any benefits that may be otherwise payable to or on behalf of the Executive pursuant to the terms of any severance pay arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary or any other, similar arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary providing benefits upon involuntary termination of employment , other than the benefits provided by the Executive Protection Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that the Executive becomes entitled to benefits under the Executive Protection Agreement, the Executive shall not be entitled to any benefits under this Agreement on account of his termination of employment with the Company and its affiliates but rather all such benefits shall be provided in accordance with the terms of the Executive Protection Agreement.
     6.  Duties on Termination . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the period beginning on the date of delivery of a Notice of Termination, and ending on the Date of Termination, the Executive shall continue to perform his duties as set forth in this Agreement, and shall also perform such services for the Company as are necessary and appropriate for a smooth transition to the Executive’s successor, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 6, the Company may suspend the Executive from performing his duties under this Agreement following the delivery of a Notice of Termination providing for the Executive’s resignation, or delivery by the Company of a Notice of Termination providing for the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason; provided, however, that during the period of suspension (which shall end on the Date of Termination), the Executive shall continue to be treated as employed by the Company for other purposes, and his rights to compensation or benefits shall not be reduced by reason of the suspension.
     7. Mitigation and Set-Off . The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. The Company shall not be entitled to set off against the amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement any amounts owed to the Company by the Executive, any amounts earned by the Executive in other employment after termination of his employment with the Company, or any

9


 

amounts which might have been earned by the Executive in other employment had he sought such other employment.
     8.  Confidential Information . The Executive agrees that, during the Agreement Term, and at all times thereafter:
(a)   Except as may be required by the lawful order of a court or agency of competent jurisdiction, except as necessary to carry out his duties to the Company and its Subsidiaries, or except to the extent that the Executive has express authorization from the Company, the Executive agrees to keep secret and confidential indefinitely, all Confidential Information, and not to disclose the same, either directly or indirectly, to any other person, firm, or business entity, or to use it in any way.
 
(b)   To the extent that any court or agency seeks to have the Executive disclose Confidential Information, he shall promptly inform the Company, and he shall take such reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information until the Company has been informed of such requested disclosure, and the Company has an opportunity to respond to such court or agency. To the extent that the Executive obtains information on behalf of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries that may be subject to attorney-client privilege as to the Company’s attorneys, the Executive shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to preserve such privilege.
 
(c)   Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 8 shall be construed so as to prevent the Executive from using, in connection with his employment for himself or an employer other than the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, knowledge which was acquired by him during the course of his employment with the Company and the Subsidiaries, and which is generally known to persons of his experience in other companies in the same industry.
 
(d)   For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall include all non-public information (including, without limitation, information regarding litigation and pending litigation) concerning the Company and the Subsidiaries which was acquired by or disclosed to the Executive during the course of his employment with the Company, or during the course of his consultation with the Company following his Date of Termination (regardless of whether consultation is pursuant to paragraph 10).
 
(e)   This paragraph 8 shall not be construed to unreasonably restrict the Executive’s ability to disclose confidential information in an arbitration proceeding or a court proceeding in connection with the assertion of, or defense against any claim of breach of this Agreement in accordance with paragraph 23. If there is a dispute between the Company and the Executive as to whether information may be disclosed in accordance with this subparagraph 8(e) the matter shall be submitted to the arbitrators or the court (whichever is applicable) for decision.
     9.  Noncompetition . During the Restricted Period (as defined below) the Executive will not, without the Company’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably

For purposes of the portion of the Restricted Period following the Executive’s Date of Termination, the businesses in which the Company or any of its affiliates engages shall be determined as of the Executive’s Date of Termination.
 
  (iv)   For periods after the Executive’s Date of Termination, a business entity shall not be considered “ Competitive with the Company ” (as defined in clause (iii) above) for purposes of this Agreement if it builds anything other than industrial warehouses or acquires property for purposes of developing anything other than industrial warehouses and the Executive’s investment in such business or entity

The Executive agrees to promptly inform the Company if he becomes aware of any lawsuits involving such claims that may be filed against the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company agrees to provide legal counsel to the Executive in connection with such assistance (to the extent legally permitted), and to reimburse the Executive for all of the Executive’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with such assistance, including travel expenses and reasonable legal expenses. The Executive shall choose his legal counsel in his reasonable sole discretion.

     18.  Severability .

     19.  Waiver of Breach . No waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by any other party, or of compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party, will operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other party of any similar or dissimilar provisions and conditions at the same or any prior or subsequent time. The failure of any party hereto to take any action by reason of such breach will not deprive such party of the right to take action at any time while such breach continues.
     20.  Successors . This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business , and the successor shall be substituted for the Company under this Agreement.

     22.  Arbitration of All Disputes .

(d)   The Executive’s rights to payments under this paragraph 23 shall not be affected by the final outcome of any dispute with the Company; provided, however, that to the extent that the arbitrators shall determine that under the circumstances recovery by the Executive of all or a part of any such fees and costs and expenses would be unjust or inappropriate, the Executive shall not be entitled to such recovery; and to the extent that such amount have been recovered by the Executive previously, the Executive shall repay such amounts to the Company.
     24.  Survival of Agreement . Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company.

Exhibit 10.2
2006 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
SECTION 1
GENERAL
       1.1      Purpose. ProLogis, a Maryland real estate investment trust, has established the Plan to:
      (a) attract and retain employees and other persons providing services to ProLogis and the Related Companies;
      (b) attract and retain as Outside Trustees the highly competent individuals upon whose judgment, initiative, leadership and continued efforts the success of ProLogis depends;
      (c) motivate Participants, by means of appropriate incentives, to achieve long-range goals;
      (d) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other corporations and real estate investment trusts; and
      (e) further identify Participants’ interests with those of ProLogis’s other shareholders through compensation that is based on the value of ProLogis’s common shares;
and thereby to promote the long-term financial interest of ProLogis and the Related Companies, including the growth in value of ProLogis’s equity and enhancement of long-term shareholder return.
      1.2      Defined Terms. The meaning of capitalized terms used in the Plan are set forth in Section 8.
      1.3      Participation. For purposes of the Plan, a “Participant” is any person to whom an Award is granted under the Plan. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine and designate, from time to time, from among the Eligible Individuals those persons who will be granted one or more Awards under the Plan and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Participant may be granted any Award permitted under the provisions of the Plan and more than one Award may be granted to a Participant. Except as otherwise agreed by ProLogis and the Participant, or except as otherwise provided in the Plan, an Award under the Plan shall not affect any previous Award under the Plan or an award under any other plan maintained by ProLogis or the Related Companies.
SECTION 2
OPTIONS
       2.1      Definitions.
      (a) The grant of an “Option” under the Plan entitles the Participant to purchase Shares at an Exercise Price fixed by the Committee at the time the Option is granted. Options granted under this Section 2 may be either Incentive Share Options or Non-Qualified Share Options, as determined in the discretion of the Committee. Options granted to Outside Trustees shall be Non-Qualified Share Options.
      (b) A grant of a “share appreciation right” or “SAR” entitles the Participant to receive, in cash or Shares (as determined in accordance with the terms of the Plan) value equal to the excess of: (a) the Fair Market Value of a specified number of Shares at the time of exercise; over (b) an Exercise Price established by the Committee at the time of grant.
      (c) An Option may but need not be in tandem with an SAR, and an SAR may but need not be in tandem with an Option (in either case, regardless of whether the original award was granted under this Plan or another plan or arrangement). If an Option is in tandem with an SAR, the exercise price of both the Option and SAR shall be the same, and the exercise of the Option or SAR with respect to a Share shall cancel the corresponding tandem SAR or Option right with respect to such share. If an SAR is in tandem with an Option but is granted after the grant of the Option, or if an Option is in tandem with an SAR but is granted after the grant of the SAR, the later granted tandem Award shall have the same exercise price as the earlier granted Award, but in no event less than the Fair Market Value of a Share at the time of such grant.

1


 

      2.2      Eligibility. The Committee shall designate the Participants to whom Options or SARs are to be granted under this Section 2 and shall determine the number of Shares subject to each such Option or SAR and the other terms and conditions thereof, not inconsistent with the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may grant dividend equivalents (current or deferred) with respect to any Option or SAR granted under the Plan.
      2.3      Limits on Incentive Share Options. If the Committee grants Incentive Share Options, then to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of Shares with respect to which Incentive Share Options are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year (under all plans of ProLogis and all subsidiaries of ProLogis within the meaning of section 424(f) of the Code) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Share Options to the extent required by section 422 of the Code.
      2.4      Exercise Price. The “Exercise Price” of an Option or SAR shall be established by the Committee at the time the Option or SAR is granted; provided, however, that in no event shall such price be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date (or, if greater, the par value of a Share on such date).
      2.5      Exercise/ Vesting. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, an Option or SAR granted under the Plan shall be exercisable in accordance with the following:
      (a) The terms and conditions relating to exercise and vesting of an Option or SAR shall be established by the Committee to the extent not inconsistent with the Plan, and may include, without limitation, conditions relating to completion of a specified period of service, achievement of performance standards prior to exercise or the achievement of Share ownership objectives by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an Option or SAR granted to any employee become exercisable or vested prior to the first anniversary of the date on which it is granted (subject to acceleration of exercisability and vesting, to the extent permitted by the Committee, in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability, Retirement, Change in Control or involuntary termination).
      (b) No Option or SAR may be exercised by a Participant after the Expiration Date applicable to that Option or SAR.
      2.6      Payment of Exercise Price. The payment of the Exercise Price of an Option granted under this Section 2 shall be subject to the following:
      (a) Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 2.6, the full Exercise Price of each Share purchased upon the exercise of any Option shall be paid at the time of such exercise (except that, in the case of an exercise through the use of cash equivalents, payment may be made as soon as practicable after the exercise) and, as soon as practicable thereafter, a certificate representing the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the person entitled thereto.
      (b) Subject to applicable law, the Exercise Price shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents, by tendering, by actual delivery or by attestation, Shares valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise or by a combination thereof.
      2.7      Post-Exercise Limitations. The Committee, in its discretion, may impose such restrictions on Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as it determines to be desirable, including, without limitation, restrictions relating to disposition of the shares and forfeiture restrictions based on service, performance, Share ownership by the Participant and such other factors as the Committee determines to be appropriate.
      2.8      No Repricing. Except for either adjustments pursuant to subsection 4.3 (relating to the adjustment of shares), or reductions of the Exercise Price approved by ProLogis’s shareholders, the Exercise Price for any outstanding Option or SAR may not be decreased after the date of grant nor may an outstanding Option or SAR granted under the Plan be surrendered to ProLogis as consideration for the grant of a replacement Option or SAR with a lower exercise price. In addition, no repricing of an Option or SAR shall be permitted without the approval of ProLogis’s shareholders if such approval is required under the rules of any stock exchange on which Shares are listed.
      2.9      Tandem Grants of Options and SARs. An Option may but need not be in tandem with an SAR, and an SAR may but need not be in tandem with an Option (in either case, regardless of whether the original award was granted under this Plan or another plan or arrangement). If an Option is in tandem with an SAR, the

2


 

exercise price of both the Option and SAR shall be the same, and the corresponding tandem SAR or Option shall cancel the corresponding tandem SAR or Option right with respect to such share.
      2.10      Expiration Date. The “Expiration Date” with respect to an Option or SAR means the date established as the Expiration Date by the Committee at the time of the grant; provided, however, that unless determined otherwise by the Committee at the time of grant, the Expiration Date with respect to any Option or SAR shall not be later than the earliest to occur of:
      (a) the ten-year anniversary of the date on which the Option or SAR is granted;
      (b) if the Participant’s Termination Date occurs by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, the one-year anniversary of such Termination Date;
      (c) if the Participant’s Termination Date occurs for reasons other than Retirement, death, Disability or Cause, the three-month anniversary of such Termination Date; or
      (d) if the Participant’s Termination Date occurs for reasons of Cause, such Termination Date.
      In no event shall the Expiration Date of an Option or SAR be later than the ten-year anniversary of the date on which the Option or SAR is granted.
SECTION 3
FULL VALUE AWARDS AND CASH INCENTIVE AWARDS
       3.1      Definitions.
      (a) A “Full Value Award” is a grant of one or more Shares or a right to receive one or more Shares in the future, with such grant subject to one or more of the following, as determined by the Committee:
        (i) The grant shall be in consideration of a Participant’s previously performed services, or surrender of other compensation that may be due.
 
        (ii) The grant shall be contingent on the achievement of performance or other objectives during a specified period.
 
        (iii) The grant shall be subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon the achievement of one or more goals relating to completion of service by the Participant or achievement of performance or other objectives.
 
        (iv) The grant of Full Value Awards may also be subject to such other conditions, restrictions and contingencies, as determined by the Committee, including provisions relating to dividend or dividend equivalent rights and deferred payment or settlement.
      (b) A Cash Incentive Award is the grant of a right to receive a payment of cash (or in the discretion of the Committee, Shares having value equivalent to the cash otherwise payable) that is contingent on achievement of performance objectives over a specified period established by the Committee. The grant of Cash Incentive Awards may also be subject to such other conditions, restrictions and contingencies, as determined by the Committee, including provisions relating to deferred payment.
      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 (a) grants made to newly eligible Participants to replace awards from a prior employer and (b) grants that are a form of payment of earned performance awards or other incentive compensation.

3


 

      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 Full Value Award or Cash Incentive Award shall become vested without regard to whether the Full Value Award or Cash Incentive Award would be Performance-Based Compensation.
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.
SECTION 4
OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION
       4.1      Effective Date, Approval Date and Effect on Prior Plans. The Plan will be effective as of the date it is adopted by the Board (the “Effective Date”); provided, however, that Awards granted under the Plan prior to the Approval Date will be contingent on approval of the Plan by ProLogis’s shareholders. The Plan shall be unlimited in duration and, in the event of Plan termination, shall remain in effect as long as any Shares awarded under it are outstanding and not fully vested; provided, however, that no new Awards shall be made under the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board Upon the Approval Date, no further awards will be made under the Prior Plans. Any awards made under the Prior Plans prior to the Approval Date shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Prior Plan. If the Approval Date does not occur, awards may continue to be made under the Prior Plans subject to the terms and conditions thereof.
      4.2      Shares and Other Amounts Subject to the Plan. The Shares for which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following:
      (a) The Shares with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan shall be shares currently authorized but unissued or currently held or subsequently acquired by ProLogis as treasury shares, including shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions.
      (b) Subject to the provisions of subsection 4.3, the number of Shares which may be issued with respect to Awards under the Plan shall be equal to the sum of: (i) 5,750,000 Shares; (ii) any Shares available for issuance

4


 

as of the Approval Date under the Prior Plans and (iii) any shares that are represented by awards granted under the Prior Plans that are forfeited, expired, canceled or settled for cash after the Approval Date without delivery of Shares or which result in the forfeiture of the Shares to the extent that such Shares would have been added back to the reserve under the terms of the applicable Prior Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, any Shares subject to an Award which for any reason is forfeited, expires or is terminated without issuance of Shares (including Shares that are not issued because Shares are tendered pursuant to subsection 4.7 and Shares attributable to Awards that are settled in cash) shall again be available under the Plan. Shares issued by ProLogis in connection with awards that are assumed or substituted in connection with a merger, acquisition or other corporate transaction shall not be counted against the number of Shares that may be issued with respect to Awards under the Plan.
      (c) Except as expressly provided by the terms of this Plan, the issue by ProLogis of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property or for labor or services, either upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Trust convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof, shall be made with respect to Awards then outstanding hereunder.
      (d) To the extent provided by the Committee, any Award may be settled in cash rather than in Shares.
      (e) Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 4.2, the maximum number of Shares that may be delivered to Participants and their Beneficiaries with respect to incentive share options under the Plan shall be 5,750,000; provided, however, that to the extent that shares not delivered must be counted against this limit as a condition of satisfying the rules applicable to incentives stock options, such rules shall apply to the limit on Incentive Share Options granted under the Plan.
      (f) The maximum number of shares that may be covered by Awards granted to any one Participant during any one calendar-year period pursuant to Section 2 (relating to Options and SARs) shall be 500,000 shares. For purposes of this subsection 4.2(f), if an Option is in tandem with an SAR, such that the exercise of the Option or SAR with respect to a Share cancels the tandem SAR or Option right, respectively, with respect to such share, the tandem Option and SAR rights with respect to each Share shall be counted as covering but one Share for purposes of applying the limitations of this subsection 4.2(f).
      (g) For Full Value Awards that are intended to be Performance-Based Compensation, no more than 200,000 Shares may be delivered pursuant to such Awards granted to any one Participant during any one-calendar-year period (regardless of whether settlement of the Award is to occur prior to, at the time of, or after the time of vesting); provided that Awards described in this 4.2(g) that are intended to be Performance-Based Compensation shall be subject to the following:
        (i) If the Awards are denominated in Shares but an equivalent amount of cash is delivered in lieu of delivery of Shares, the foregoing limit shall be applied based on the methodology used by the Committee to convert the number of Shares into cash.
 
        (ii) If delivery of Shares or cash is deferred until after Shares have been earned, any adjustment in the amount delivered to reflect actual or deemed investment experience after the date the shares are earned shall be disregarded.
      (h) For Cash Incentive Value Awards that are intended to be Performance-Based Compensation, the maximum amount payable to any Participant with respect to any twelve-month performance period shall equal $10,000,000 (pro rated for performance periods that are greater or lesser than twelve months); provided that Awards described in this subsection 4.2(h) that are intended to be Performance-Based Compensation, shall be subject to the following:
        (i) If the Awards are denominated in cash but an equivalent amount of Shares is delivered in lieu of delivery of cash, the foregoing limit shall be applied to the cash based on the methodology used by the Committee to convert the cash into Shares.
 
        (ii) If delivery of Shares or cash is deferred until after cash has been earned, any adjustment in the amount delivered to reflect actual or deemed investment experience after the date the cash is earned shall be disregarded.

      4.3      Adjustments to Shares. In the event of a corporate transaction involving ProLogis (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, sale of assets or subsidiaries, combination or exchange of shares), the Committee may adjust Awards to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of the Awards. Action by the Committee may include: (a) adjustment of the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan (including adjustments to the number and kind of shares that may be granted to an individual during any specified time as described in subsection 4.2); (b) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (c) adjustment of the Exercise Price of outstanding Options and SARs; and (d) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable (which may include, without limitation, (i) replacement of Awards with other Awards which the Committee determines have comparable value and which are based on stock of a company resulting from the transaction, and (ii) cancellation of the Award in return for cash payment of the current value of the Award, determined as though the Award is fully vested at the time of payment, provided that in the case of an Option or SAR, the amount of such payment may be the excess of value of the Shares subject to the Option or SAR at the time of the transaction over the exercise price).
      4.4      Change in Control. In the event that (a) a Participant’s employment or service, as applicable, is terminated by ProLogis or the successor to ProLogis (or a Related Company which is his or her employer) for reasons other than Cause within 24 months following a Change in Control, or (b) the Plan is terminated by ProLogis or its successor following a Change in Control without provision for the continuation of outstanding Awards hereunder, all Options and related Awards which have not otherwise expired shall become immediately exercisable and all other Awards shall become fully vested. For purposes of this subsection 4.4, a Participant’s employment or service shall be deemed to be terminated by ProLogis or the successor to ProLogis (or a Related Company) if the Participant terminates employment or service after (I) a substantial adverse alteration in the nature of the Participant’s status or responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, or (II) a material reduction in the Participant’s annual base salary and target bonus, if any, or, in the case of a Participant who is an Outside Trustee, the Participant’s annual compensation, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. If, upon a Change in Control, awards in other shares or securities are substituted for outstanding Awards pursuant to subsection 4.3, and immediately following the Change in Control the Participant becomes employed (if the Participant was an employee immediately prior to the Change in Control) or a trustee or board member (if the Participant was an Outside Trustee immediately prior to the Change in Control) of the entity into which ProLogis merged, or the purchaser of substantially all of the assets of ProLogis, or a successor to such entity or purchaser, the Participant shall not be treated as having terminated employment or service for purposes of this subsection 4.4 until such time as the Participant terminates employment or service with the merged entity or purchaser (or successor), as applicable.
      4.5      Limit on Distribution. Distribution of Shares or other amounts under the Plan shall be subject to the following:
      (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, ProLogis shall have no liability to deliver any Shares under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.
      (b) In the case of a Participant who is subject to Section 16(a) and 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Committee may, at any time, add such conditions and limitations to any Award to such Participant, or any feature of any such Award, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to comply with Section 16(a) or 16(b) and the rules and regulations thereunder or to obtain any exemption therefrom.
      (c) To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the transfer of Shares, the transfer of such Shares may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.
      4.6      Liability for Cash Payments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4, each Related Company shall be liable for payment of cash due under the Plan with respect to any Participant to the extent that such benefits are attributable to the service rendered for that Related Company by the Participant. Any disputes relating to liability of a Related Company for cash payments shall be resolved by the Committee.
      4.7      Withholding. All Awards and other payments under the Plan are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes, which withholding obligations may be satisfied, with the consent of the Committee, through the

6


 

surrender of Shares which the Participant already owns or to which a Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan; provided, however, previously-owned Shares that have been held by the Participant or Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan may only be used to satisfy the minimum tax withholding required by applicable law (or other rates that will not have a negative accounting impact).
      4.8      Transferability. Awards under the Plan are not transferable except as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, to the extent provided by the Committee, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (within the meaning of the Code and applicable rules thereunder). To the extent that the Participant who receives an Award under the Plan has the right to exercise such Award, the Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 4.8, the Committee may permit Awards under the Plan to be transferred to or for the benefit of the Participant’s family (including, without limitation, to a trust or partnership for the benefit of a Participant’s family), subject to such procedures as the Committee may establish. In no event shall an Incentive Share Option be transferable to the extent that such transferability would violate the requirements applicable to such option under section 422 of the Code.
      4.9      Notices. Any notice or document required to be filed with the Committee under the Plan will be properly filed if delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Committee, in care of ProLogis or the Related Company, as applicable, at its principal executive offices. The Committee may, by advance written notice to affected persons, revise such notice procedure from time to time. Any notice required under the Plan (other than a notice of election) may be waived by the person entitled to notice.
      4.10      Form and Time of Elections. Unless otherwise specified herein, each election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification or revocation thereof, shall be in writing filed with the applicable Committee at such times, in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall require.
      4.11      Agreement With ProLogis or Related Company. At the time of an Award to a Participant under the Plan, the Committee may require a Participant to enter into an agreement with ProLogis or the Related Company, as applicable (the “Agreement”), in a form specified by the Committee, agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Plan and to such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, prescribe.
      4.12      Limitation of Implied Rights.
      (a) Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of the Plan, acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of ProLogis or any Related Company whatsoever, including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets, or other property which ProLogis or any Related Company, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of ProLogis and any Related Company. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee by ProLogis or any Related Company that the assets of such companies shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.
      (b) The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment or continued service, and selection as a Participant will not give any employee the right to be retained in the employ or service of ProLogis or any Related Company, nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no Award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any right as a shareholder of ProLogis prior to the date on which he fulfills all service requirements and other conditions for receipt of such rights and Shares are registered in his name.
      4.13      Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person acting on it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.
      4.14      Action by ProLogis or Related Company. Any action required or permitted to be taken by ProLogis or any Related Company shall be by resolution of its board of trustees or directors, as applicable, or by action of one or more members of the board (including a committee of the board) who are duly authorized to

7


 

act for the board or (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange) by a duly authorized officer of ProLogis.
      4.15      Gender and Number. Where the context admits, words in any gender shall include any other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular.
      4.16      Applicable Law. The provisions of the Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to choice of law principles.
      4.17      Foreign Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant Awards to eligible persons who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan. In furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of laws in other countries or jurisdictions in which ProLogis or a Related Company operates or has employees.
SECTION 5
COMMITTEE
       5.1      Administration. The authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the committee described in subsection 5.2 (the “Committee”) in accordance with this Section 5. If the Committee does not exist, or for any other reason determined by the Board, the Board may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Committee.
      5.2      Selection of Committee. So long as ProLogis is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Committee shall be selected by the Board and shall consist of not fewer than two members of the Board or such greater number as may be required for compliance with Rule  16b-3 issued under the Exchange Act and shall be comprised of persons who are independent for purposes of applicable stock exchange listing requirements. Any Award granted under the Plan which is intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation (including Options and SARs) shall be granted by a Committee consisting solely of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code and applicable regulations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Awards to Outside Trustees, the Committee shall be the Board.
      5.3      Powers of Committee. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the Committee, subject to the following:
      (a) Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to select individuals who shall be Eligible Individuals and who, therefore are eligible to receive Awards under the Plan. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the time or times of receipt, to determine the types of Awards and the number of Shares covered by the Awards, to establish the terms, conditions, performance targets, restrictions, and other provisions of such Awards, to cancel or suspend Awards, and to accelerate the exercisability or vesting of any Award under circumstances designated by it at the time the Award is granted or thereafter. In making such Award determinations, the Committee may take into account the nature of services rendered by the respective employee, the individual’s present and potential contribution to ProLogis’s or a Related Company’s success and such other factors as the Committee deems relevant.
      (b) Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to determine the extent to which Awards under the Plan will be structured to conform to the requirements applicable to Performance-Based Compensation, and to take such action, establish such procedures, and impose such restrictions at the time such Awards are granted as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to conform to such requirements.
      (c) Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to conclusively interpret the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to determine the terms and provisions of any agreements made pursuant to the Plan and to make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

      (d) Any interpretation of the Plan by the Committee and any decision made by it under the Plan is final and binding on all persons.
      (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, where the Committee is authorized to make a determination with respect to any Award, such determination shall be made at the time the Award is made, except that the Committee may reserve the authority to have such determination made by the Committee in the future (but only if such reservation is made at the time the Award is granted, is expressly stated in the Agreement reflecting the Award and is permitted by applicable law).
      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intention of ProLogis that, to the extent that any provisions of this Plan or any Awards granted hereunder are subject to section 409A of the Code, the Plan and the Awards comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code and that the Plan and Awards be administered in accordance with such requirements and the Committee shall have the authority to amend any outstanding Awards to conform to the requirements of section 409A.
      5.4      Delegation by Committee. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or NASDAQ (if appropriate), the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.
      5.5      Information to be Furnished to Committee. ProLogis and the Related Companies shall furnish the Committee such data and information as may be required for it to discharge its duties. The records of ProLogis and the Related Companies as to an employee’s or Participant’s employment or provision of services, termination of employment or cessation of the provision of services, leave of absence, reemployment and compensation shall be conclusive on all persons unless determined to be incorrect. Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan must furnish the Committee such evidence, data or information as the Committee consider desirable to carry out the terms of the Plan.
      5.6      Liability and Indemnification of Committee. No member or authorized delegate of the Committee shall be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the administration of the Plan unless attributable to his own fraud or willful misconduct; nor shall ProLogis or any Related Company be liable to any person for any such action unless attributable to fraud or willful misconduct on the part of a trustee, director or employee of ProLogis or Related Company. The Committee, the individual members thereof, and persons acting as the authorized delegates of the Committee under the Plan, shall be indemnified by ProLogis against any and all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) of whatsoever kind and nature which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Committee or its members or authorized delegates by reason of the performance of a Committee function if the Committee or its members or authorized delegates did not act dishonestly or in willful violation of the law or regulation under which such liability, loss, cost or expense arises. This indemnification shall not duplicate but may supplement any coverage available under any applicable insurance.
SECTION 6
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
       The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, and the Board or the Committee may amend any Award Agreement, provided that no amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent to the change by the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the affected Beneficiary), adversely affect the rights of any Participant or Beneficiary under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board (or the Committee, if applicable); and further provided that adjustments pursuant to subsection 4.3 shall not be subject to the foregoing limitations of this Section 6; and further provided that the provisions of subsection 2.8 (relating to Option and SAR repricing) cannot be amended unless the amendment is approved by ProLogis’s shareholders. It is the intention of ProLogis that, to the extent that any provisions of this Plan or any Awards granted hereunder are subject to section 409A of the Code, the Plan and the Awards comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code and that the Board shall have the authority to amend the Plan as it deems necessary to conform to section 409A.

If the Executive is in the employ of the Trust on the date of a Change in Control, the Trust hereby agrees to continue the Executive in its employ for the period commencing on the date of the Change in Control and ending on the last day of the Term of this Agreement. During the period of employment described in the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 2 (the “Employment Period”), the Executive shall hold such position with the Trust and exercise such authority and perform such executive duties as are commensurate with his position, authority and duties immediately prior to the Employment Period. The Executive agrees that during the Employment Period he shall devote his full business time exclusively to the executive duties described herein and perform such duties faithfully and efficiently; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Executive from voluntarily resigning from employment upon no less than 15 days’ advance written notice to the Trust under circumstances that do not constitute a Termination (as defined in paragraph 5).
     3.  Change in Control . For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” means the happening of any of the following:
          (a) The consummation of a transaction, approved by the shareholders of the Trust, to merge the Trust into or consolidate the Trust with another entity, sell or

 


 

otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or adopt a plan of liquidation, provided, however, that a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred by reason of a transaction, or a substantially concurrent or otherwise related series of transactions, upon the completion of which 50% or more of the beneficial ownership of the voting power of the Trust, the surviving corporation or corporation directly or indirectly controlling the Trust or the surviving corporation, as the case may be, is held by the same persons (as defined below) (although not necessarily in the same proportion) as held the beneficial ownership of the voting power of the Trust immediately prior to the transaction or the substantially concurrent or otherwise related series of transactions, except that upon the completion thereof, employees or employee benefit plans of the Trust may be a new holder of such beneficial ownership.
          (b) The “beneficial ownership” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Trust is acquired, other than from the Trust, by any “person” as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit or other similar stock plan of the Trust).
          (c) At any time during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period were members of the Board of Trustees of the Trust cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof (unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Trust’s shareholders, of each new trustee was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the trustees still in office at the time of such election or nomination who were trustees at the beginning of such period).
For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall be defined as indicated:
          (i) The term “Beneficial Owner” shall mean beneficial owner as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.
          (ii) Entities shall be treated as being under “common control” during any period in which they are “affiliates” of each other as that term is defined in the Exchange Act.
          (iii) The term “person” shall be as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, but shall exclude any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit or other similar stock plan of the Trust.
     4.  Compensation During the Employment Period . During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be compensated as follows:
          (a) He shall receive an annual salary which is not less than his annual salary immediately prior to the Employment Period.
          (b) He shall be entitled to participate in annual cash-based incentive compensation plans which, in the aggregate, provide bonus opportunities which are not

2


 

materially less favorable to the Executive than the greater of (i) the opportunities provided by the Trust for executives with comparable levels of responsibility as in effect from time to time; and (ii) the opportunities provided to the Executive under all such plans in which he was participating prior to the Employment Period.
          (c) He shall be eligible to participate in other incentive compensation plans and other employee benefit plans on a basis not materially less favorable to the Executive than that applicable to other executives of the Trust with comparable levels of responsibility as in effect from time to time.
     5.  Termination . For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Termination” shall mean termination of the employment of the Executive by the Trust during the Employment Period (i) by the Trust, for any reason other than death, Disability, or Cause, or (ii) by Constructive Discharge of the Executive (as these terms are described below). For purposes of this Agreement:
          (a) The Executive shall be considered to have a “Disability” during the period in which he is unable, by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, to engage in the material and substantial duties of his regular occupation, and such condition is expected to be permanent, as determined by the Board of Trustees.
          (b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Trustees (i) the willful and continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties with the Trust or any subsidiary after written notification by the Trust or subsidiary, (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in conduct which is demonstrably injurious to the Trust or any subsidiary, monetarily or otherwise, or (iii) the engaging by the Executive in egregious misconduct involving serious moral turpitude. For purposes hereof, no act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that such action was in the best interest of the Trust or subsidiary.
          (c) If, after a Change in Control, the Executive:
     (i) provides written notice to the Trust of the occurrence of Good Reason (as defined below) within a reasonable time after the Executive has knowledge of the circumstances constituting Good Reason, which notice shall specifically identifies the circumstances which the Executive believes constitute Good Reason;
     (ii) the Trust fails to notify the Executive of the Trust’s intended method of correction within a reasonable period of time after the Trust receives the notice, or the Trust fails to correct the circumstances within a reasonable time after such notice; and
     (iii) the Executive resigns within a reasonable time after receiving the Trust’s response, if such notice does not indicate an intention to correct such

3


 

circumstances, or within a reasonable time after the Trust fails to correct such circumstances;
then the Executive shall be considered to have been subject to a “Constructive Discharge” by the Trust. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, without the Executive’s express written consent (and except in consequence of a prior termination of the Executive’s employment), the occurrence of any of the following circumstances:
          (I) a substantial adverse alteration in the nature of the Executive’s status or responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to the Employment Period;
          (II) failure to provide salary and other compensation and benefits in accordance with paragraph 4; or
          (III) the failure of the Trust to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform this Agreement as contemplated in paragraph 16.
If the Executive becomes employed by the entity into which the Trust merged, or the purchaser of substantially all of the assets of the Trust, or a successor to such entity or purchaser, the Executive shall not be treated as having terminated employment for purposes of this Agreement until such time as the Executive terminates employment with the merged entity or purchaser (or successor), as applicable. If the Executive is transferred to employment with a subsidiary of the Trust (regardless of whether before, on, or after a Change in Control), such transfer shall not constitute a termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement, provided that the subsidiary agrees to assume this Agreement and be substituted for the Trust under this Agreement (provided that the subsidiary shall not be substituted for the Trust for purposes of defining the term “Change in Control”).
     6.  Severance Benefits . Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 7 and 8 below, in the event of a Termination described in paragraph 5, in lieu of the amount otherwise payable under paragraph 4:
          (a) The Executive shall be entitled to the bonus(es) payable for the performance period(s) in which the date of the Executive’s Termination occurs, with payment based on achievement of a target level of performance for the entire period (regardless of actual performance for the period); provided, however, that the amount of the bonus shall be subject to a pro-rata reduction to reflect the portion of the applicable performance period following the date of termination. Payment under this paragraph (a) shall be made at the regularly scheduled time for payment of such amounts to active employees.
          (b) As of the date of Termination, the Executive shall be fully vested in all benefits accrued through the date of Termination under the ProLogis Nonqualified Savings Plan, and all such benefits shall be payable in a lump sum not later than 10 days after the date of Termination.

4


 

          (c) Any awards granted under the ProLogis 1997 Long Term Incentive Plan, the ProLogis 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan or under any other incentive, compensation or other plan that are held by the Executive on the date of Termination shall vest and become immediately exercisable on such date.
          (d) The Executive shall continue to receive medical insurance and life insurance coverage in accordance with paragraph 4(c) above for a period of period of 36 months after the date of Termination.
          (e) The Executive shall be entitled to a lump sum payment in cash no later than ten business days after the date of Termination equal to the sum of:
     (i) an amount equal to three times the Executive’s annual salary rate in effect immediately prior to the Employment Period; and
     (ii) an amount equal to three times the Executive’s target level of the annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the date of Termination occurs.
          (f) The Trust shall, for a period not to exceed twelve months, provide for standard outplacement services by any one qualified outplacement agency selected by the Trust.
Except as may be otherwise specifically provided in an amendment of this paragraph 6 adopted in accordance with paragraph 15, the Executive’s rights under this paragraph 6 shall be in lieu of any benefits with respect to a termination following a Change in Control that may be otherwise payable to or on behalf of the Executive pursuant to the terms of any severance pay arrangement of the Trust or any subsidiary or any other, similar arrangement of the Trust or any subsidiary providing benefits upon involuntary termination of employment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Executive becomes entitled to benefits under this Agreement, the Executive shall not be entitled to any benefits under that certain amended and restated employment agreement dated May 26, 2006 between the Executive and the Trust on account of his termination of employment with the Company and its affiliates but rather all such benefits shall be provided in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
          7.  Make-Whole Payments . The following shall apply with respect to amounts payable to or on behalf of the Executive relating to any Change in Control that occurs after the Effective Date:
          (a) Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph 7, if any payment or benefit to which the Executive is entitled from the Trust, any affiliate, or trusts established by the Trust or by any affiliate (a “Payment”) is subject to any tax under section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any similar federal or state law (an “Excise Tax”), the Trust shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the “Make Whole-Amount”) which is equal to (i) the amount of the Excise Tax, plus (ii) the aggregate amount of any interest, penalties, fines or additions to any tax which are imposed in connection with the imposition of such Excise Tax, plus (iii) all income, excise and other applicable taxes imposed on the Executive under the

5


 

laws of any Federal, state or local government or taxing authority by reason of the payments required under clause (i) and clause (ii) and this clause (iii).
          (b) For purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the Executive shall be deemed to be taxed at the highest marginal rate under all applicable local, state, federal and foreign income tax laws for the year in which the Make-Whole Amount is paid. The Make-Whole Amount payable with respect to an Excise Tax shall be paid by the Trust coincident with the Payment with respect to which such Excise Tax relates.
          (c) All calculations under this paragraph 7 shall be made initially by the Trust and the Trust shall provide prompt written notice thereof to the Executive to enable the Executive to timely file all applicable tax returns. Upon request of the Executive, the Trust shall provide the Executive with sufficient tax and compensation data to enable the Executive or his tax advisor to independently make the calculations described in paragraph (b) above and the Trust shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable fees and expenses incurred for any such verification.
          (d) If the Executive gives written notice to the Trust of any objection to the results of the Trust’s calculations within 60 days of the Executive’s receipt of written notice thereof, the dispute shall be referred for determination to tax counsel selected by the independent auditors of the Trust (“Tax Counsel”). The Trust shall pay all fees and expenses of such Tax Counsel. Pending such determination by Tax Counsel, the Trust shall pay the Executive the Make-Whole Amount as determined by it in good faith. The Trust shall pay the Executive any additional amount determined by Tax Counsel to be due under this paragraph 7 (together with interest thereon at a rate equal to 120% of the Federal short-term rate determined under section 1274(d) of the Code) promptly after such determination.
          (e) The determination by Tax Counsel shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties unless the Internal Revenue Service, a court of competent jurisdiction, or such other duly empowered governmental body or agency (a “Tax Authority”) determines that the Executive owes a greater or lesser amount of Excise Tax with respect to any Payment than the amount determined by Tax Counsel.
          (f) If a Taxing Authority makes a claim against the Executive which, if successful, would require the Trust to make a payment under this paragraph 7, the Executive agrees to contest the claim on request of the Trust subject to the following conditions:
     (i) The Executive shall notify the Trust of any such claim within 10 days of becoming aware thereof. In the event that the Trust desires the claim to be contested, it shall promptly (but in no event more than 30 days after the notice from the Executive or such shorter time as the Taxing Authority may specify for responding to such claim) request the Executive to contest the claim. The Executive shall not make any payment of any tax which is the subject of the claim before the Executive has given the notice or during the 30-day period thereafter unless the Executive receives written instructions from the Trust to make such

6


 

payment together with an advance of funds sufficient to make the requested payment plus any amounts payable under this paragraph 7 determined as if such advance were an Excise Tax, in which case the Executive will act promptly in accordance with such instructions.
     (ii) If the Trust so requests, the Executive will contest the claim by either paying the tax claimed and suing for a refund in the appropriate court or contesting the claim in the United States Tax Court or other appropriate court, as directed by the Trust; provided, however, that any request by the Trust for the Executive to pay the tax shall be accompanied by an advance from the Trust to the Executive of funds sufficient to make the requested payment plus any amounts payable under this paragraph 7 determined as if such advance were an Excise Tax. If directed by the Trust in writing the Executive will take all action necessary to compromise or settle the claim, but in no event will the Executive compromise or settle the claim or cease to contest the claim without the written consent of the Trust; provided, however, that the Executive may take any such action if the Executive waives in writing his right to a payment under this paragraph 7 for any amounts payable in connection with such claim. The Executive agrees to cooperate in good faith with the Trust in contesting the claim and to comply with any reasonable request from the Trust concerning the contest of the claim, including the pursuit of administrative remedies, the appropriate forum for any judicial proceedings, and the legal basis for contesting the claim. Upon request of the Trust, the Executive shall take appropriate appeals of any judgment or decision that would require the Trust to make a payment under this paragraph 7. Provided that the Executive is in compliance with the provisions of this paragraph (ii), the Trust shall be liable for and indemnify the Executive against any loss in connection with, and all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred as a result of, contesting the claim, and shall provide to the Executive within 30 days after each written request therefor by the Executive cash advances or reimbursement for all such costs and expenses actually incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Executive as a result of contesting the claim.
     (iii) Should a Tax Authority finally determine that an additional Excise Tax is owed, then the Trust shall pay an additional Make-Up Amount to the Executive in a manner consistent with this paragraph 7 with respect to any additional Excise Tax and any assessed interest, fines, or penalties. If any Excise Tax as calculated by the Trust or Tax Counsel, as the case may be, is finally determined by a Tax Authority to exceed the amount required to be paid under applicable law, then the Executive shall repay such excess to the Trust within 30 days of such determination; provided that such repayment shall be reduced by the amount of any taxes paid by the Executive on such excess which is not offset by the tax benefit attributable to the repayment.
     8.  Withholding . All payments to the Executive under this Agreement will be subject to all applicable withholding of state and federal taxes.

7


 

     9.  Arbitration of All Disputes . Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be settled by arbitration in Denver, Colorado, in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, by three arbitrators appointed by the parties. If the parties cannot agree on the appointment of the arbitrators, one shall be appointed by the Trust and one by the Executive and the third shall be appointed by the first two arbitrators. If the first two arbitrators cannot agree on the appointment of a third arbitrator, then the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except with respect to the selection of arbitrators which shall be as provided in this paragraph 9. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
     10.  Legal and Enforcement Costs . This paragraph 10 shall apply if it becomes necessary or desirable for the Executive to retain legal counsel or incur other costs and expenses in connection with either enforcing any and all of his rights under this Agreement or defending against any allegations of breach of this Agreement by the Trust:
          (a) The Executive shall be entitled to recover from the Trust reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by him in connection with such enforcement or defense.
          (b) Payments required under this paragraph 10 shall be made by the Trust to the Executive (or directly to the Executive’s attorney) promptly following submission to the Trust of appropriate documentation evidencing the incurrence of such attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses.
          (c) The Executive shall be entitled to select his legal counsel; provided, however, that such right of selection shall not affect the requirement that any costs and expenses reimbursable under this paragraph 10 be reasonable.
          (d) The Executive’s rights to payments under this paragraph 10 shall not be affected by the final outcome of any dispute with the Trust; provided, however, that to the extent that the arbitrators shall determine that under the circumstances recovery by the Executive of all or a part of any such fees and costs and expenses would be unjust or inappropriate, the Executive shall not be entitled to such recovery; and to the extent that such amount have been recovered by the Executive previously, the Executive shall repay such amounts to the Trust.
     11.  Mitigation and Set-Off . The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. The Trust shall not be entitled to set off against the amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement any amounts owed to the Trust by the Executive, any amounts earned by the Executive in other employment after termination of his employment with the Trust, or any amounts which might have been earned by the Executive in other employment had he sought such other employment.

Denver, Colorado 80239
All notices to the Trust shall be directed to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer of the Trust, with a copy to the Secretary of the Trust.
     13.  Non-Alienation . The Executive shall not have any right to pledge, hypothecate, anticipate or in any way create a lien upon any amounts provided under this Agreement; and no benefits payable hereunder shall be assignable in anticipation of payment either by voluntary or involuntary acts, or by operation of law. Nothing in this paragraph 13 shall limit the Executive’s rights or powers to dispose of his property by will or limit any rights or powers which his executor or administrator would otherwise have.
     14.  Governing Law . The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without application of conflict of laws provisions thereunder.
     15. Amendment . This Agreement may be amended or canceled by mutual agreement of the parties in writing without the consent of any other person and, so long as the Executive lives, no person, other than the parties hereto, shall have any rights under or interest in this Agreement or the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intent of the parties that all payments hereunder comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, and applicable guidance issued thereunder and, to the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be amended as the parties deem necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements

9


 

of section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder in a manner that preserves to the extent possible the intended benefits of this Agreement for the parties.
     16.  Successors to the Trust . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Trust and any successor of the Trust. The Trust will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Trust to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Trust would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place.
     17.  Severability . In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.
     18.  Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, any one of which shall be deemed the original without reference to the others.
