Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
          On August 21, 2009, ProLogis and various affiliates thereof entered into a third amendment to the existing Global Senior Credit Agreement dated as of October 6, 2005 (the “Global Credit Agreement”). The amendment changed a number of terms of the Global Credit Agreement, including the following:
    We extended the maturity date for the Global Credit Agreement to August 21, 2012. The existing $3.6 billion (subject to currency fluctuations) of commitments under the Global Credit Agreement will continue to be available until October 6, 2010. After that date, the aggregate amount of the commitments under the Global Credit Agreement will be $2.25 billion (subject to currency fluctuations), subject to increase to up to $2.75 billion pursuant to an accordion feature if we obtain additional commitments, with credit extensions available in U.S. dollars, euros, Japanese yen, British pounds sterling and Canadian dollars.
 
    We increased the pricing applicable to extended commitments under the Global Credit Agreement, effective immediately, from LIBOR plus 80 basis points to LIBOR plus 325 basis points (based on our current credit ratings). The pricing applicable to non-extended commitments did not increase and will be based upon the existing pricing grid through October of 2010. All pricing is subject to change based upon the credit ratings for our senior unsecured indebtedness.
 
    In addition to various definitional changes in our financial covenants, we reduced the required level for both the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Unencumbered Debt Service Coverage Ratio to 1.50 to 1 (from 1.75 to 1.0) and we added a borrowing base covenant that requires us and our subsidiaries to maintain a specified level of unencumbered properties (subject to certain eligibility criteria).
          Concurrently with the effectiveness of the amendment to the Global Credit Agreement, we terminated the $600 million Senior Credit Agreement dated February 8, 2007 among ProLogis, various affiliates thereof and various lenders and agents.
          A copy of the amendment to the Global Credit Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
          In connection with the amendment to the Global Credit Agreement described above, we also amended the terms of the Security Agency Agreement. As so amended, the Security Agency Agreement has the following material revised provisions:
    The Security Agency Agreement now permits us to pledge collateral (“Specified Collateral”) to the holders of certain Designated Senior Debt (“Specified DS Debt”) without subjecting that collateral to the sharing arrangements with other holders of Designated Senior Debt. Specified Collateral may include any property owned by us or any of our consolidated subsidiaries, except that no property that constitutes pledged collateral for all Designated Senior Debt may become Specified Collateral. No proceeds from Specified Collateral received by any holder of Specified DS Debt will be deducted or otherwise taken into consideration when calculating the amount of proceeds to be allocated among the Credit Parties pursuant to the sharing arrangements under the Security Agency Agreement unless the holder of such Designated Senior Debt has been paid in full.

 


 

    We now may designate any series of our senior debt as “Designated Senior Debt” without so designating another series issued under the same indenture (or other instrument). We also may revoke such designation from any series of our senior debt without revoking such designation from another series.
 
    We now may designate any of our senior debt as “Designated Senior Debt” for a specified period of time or provide that we may not revoke such designation until a particular future date (if at all).
          A copy of the amendment to the Security Agency Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
