At or prior to the time when sales of the Securities were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the Company had prepared the

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering of the Notes to redeem all of the Company’s and Talos Production Finance

the redemption date, and the applicable redemption premium, in accordance with the indenture governing the Existing 11.00% Notes (the “Existing Indenture”), and simultaneously to discharge the Company’s and Finco’s
obligations with respect to the Existing 11.00% Notes and the indenture governing the Existing 11.00% Notes in accordance with the terms of that indenture (collectively, the “Transactions”). 

The Securities will be secured by a second-priority lien and security interest, subject to Permitted Liens (as defined below), on

 7.
Indemnification and Contribution. 
 (a) Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. The Company and each of the Guarantors
jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented legal fees and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the 

  
 27 

 
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are
based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through
the Representative expressly for use therein. 
 (b) Indemnification of the Company and the Guarantors. Each Initial Purchaser agrees,
severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Guarantors, each of their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are
based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser
through the Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood
and agreed that the only such information consists of (i) the legal and marketing names of the Initial Purchasers in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, (ii) the fourth and fifth sentences of the eighth
paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum and (iii) the paragraphs under the caption “Plan of Distribution–Stabilization” in the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum. 
 (c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any
governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified
Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any
liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the
failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an
Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel
to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable and documented fees
and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but
the 

  
 28 

 
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary;
(ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available
to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are
incurred. Any such separate firm for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and any such separate firm for the
Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors and officers and any control persons of the Company and the Guarantors shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason
of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this
paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and
(ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to
or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. 
 (d) Contribution. If the
indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph,
in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Parent, the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the 

  
 29 

 
allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also
the relative fault of the Parent, the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Parent, the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net
proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers in connection therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate
offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Parent, the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Parent, the Company or any Guarantor or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 (e) Limitation on Liability. The Parent,
the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as
one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses, in each case, reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection
with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such
Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint. 

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive
and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. 
 8.
Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above. 

  
 30 

 9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the
Representative, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Parent, the Company or any of the Guarantors shall have been suspended on any exchange
or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or
(iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and
adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum. 

10. Defaulting Initial Purchaser. 

(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase
hereunder, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If,
within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period
of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the
Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser, either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in
the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Time of Sale Information, the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment
or supplement to the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise
requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase. 

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by
the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the
principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Initial Purchaser’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase
hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made. 

  
 31 

 (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a
defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that
remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall
terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company or the
Guarantors, except that the Company and each of the Guarantors will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain
in effect. 
 (d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company, the
Guarantors or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default. 
 11.
Payment of Expenses. 
 (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is
terminated, the Company and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs
incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation and printing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any other Time
of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication and the Offering Memorandum (including any amendment or supplement thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents;
(iv) the fees and expenses of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ counsel and independent accountants; (v) the reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and
determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses
of counsel for the Initial Purchasers up to $10,000); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and any paying agent (including related fees and
expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; (ix) the fees and expenses incurred with respect to creating,
documenting and perfecting the security interests in the Collateral as contemplated by the Collateral Documents (including the related fees and expenses of counsel to the Initial Purchasers for all periods prior to and after the Closing Date); and
(x) all expenses incurred by the Parent or the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors. 

  
 32 

 (b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9, (ii) the Company
for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers or (iii) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company and each of the Guarantors
jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of
their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby. 
 12.
Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and
the affiliates of each Initial Purchaser referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement
or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase. 

13. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the
Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of
and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers. 

14. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term
“affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City;
(c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (d) the term “Exchange Act” collectively means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Initial Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may
include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Initial Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients.

of which the Company and each Guarantor, as applicable, is subject by a suit upon such judgment.

 (f)

Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Initial Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the

The following changes will be made to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum to delete the red stricken text (example of deleted text) and add the blue underlined text (example of added
text) where indicated below: 
 Description of Notes 

Asset Sales 

The indenture will provide that the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, cause or make an Asset
Sale, unless (x) the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (if the consideration for such Asset Sale is less than or equal
to $25.0 million, as determined in good faith by the Issuer or if the consideration for such Asset Sale exceeds $25.0 million, as determined by an Independent Financial Advisor) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of and, (y) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash
Equivalents and (z) any grant or transfer of net profits interests or Volumetric Production Payments that constitutes an Asset
Sale does not exceed the greater of (i) $250.0 million and (ii) 17.0% of the net present value, discounted at 10% per annum, of the future net revenues expected to accrue to the Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Proved
Developed Producing Reserves, calculated in accordance with Strip Prices (determined as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale); provided that the amount of:... 

Certain Definitions 
 “NYMEX” means the New York Mercantile
Exchange.  

“PDP Reserves Coverage Ratio” means, as of any date of determination, the ratio of (a) the net
present value, discounted at 10% per annum, of the future net revenues expected to accrue to the Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Proved Developed Producing
Reserves, calculated in accordance with Strip Prices, to (b) the Consolidated Total Indebtedness as of such date
of determination. 

  
 Annex B-3 

 “Strip
Prices” means, as of the last day of the Issuer’s most recently ended fiscal quarter prior to any date of determination, the forward month prices for the most comparable Hydrocarbon commodity applicable to such future production month for
a five year period (or such shorter period if forward month prices are not quoted for a reasonably comparable Hydrocarbon commodity for the full five year period), with such prices held constant thereafter based on the last quoted forward month
price of such period, as such prices are (i) quoted on the NYMEX (or its successor) as of the date of determination and (ii) as adjusted in good faith by management for energy content, quality and basis differentials; provided that with
respect to estimated future production for which prices are defined, within the meaning of SEC guidelines, by contractual arrangements excluding escalations based upon future conditions, then such contract prices shall be applied to future
production subject to such arrangements. 
 Original Issue Discount 

The notes maywill be treated as issued with original issue discount (“OID”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See
“Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” 
 Risk Factors 

The notes will be issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

If
theThe notes’ stated redemption price at maturity exceedswill exceed their “issue price,” as determined under U.S. Treasury regulations, by more than a statutory de minimis
amount and, as such, the notes will be treated as issued with OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the notes are issued with OIDAs a result,
in addition to including stated interest as ordinary interest income in accordance with a U.S. Holder’s regular method of tax accounting, each U.S. Holder must include OID in gross income as ordinary income as it accrues calculated on a
constant yield to maturity method before the receipt of cash attributable to the income regardless of such U.S. Holder’s accounting method, and will generally have to include in income increasingly greater amounts of OID over the life of the
notes. The rules governing instruments with OID are complex. Prospective investors should see “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for additional information and are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the
application of such rules to the notes. 
 If the notes are issued with OID,
anda bankruptcy petition were filed by or against us, the allowed claim for the notes may be less than the principal amount of the notes stated in the Indenture. 

Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders 

Payments of Interest and OID 
 Stated interest on a
note will generally be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received, in accordance with such U.S. Holder’s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

Additionally, if theThe notes’ stated redemption price at maturity
exceedswill exceed their
“issue price,” as determined under U.S. Treasury regulations, by an amount equal to or more than a statutory de minimis amount (generally, 0.25% multiplied by the product of the stated redemption price at maturity and 

  
 Annex B-4 

 
the number of complete years to maturity) and, as such, the
notes will be treated as issued with OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The amount of OID on a note is generally equal to the excess of the note’s stated redemption price at maturity over its issue price. The stated redemption price at
maturity of the notes generally is the sum of all payments to be made on the notes other than “qualified stated interest.” Qualified stated interest generally means stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or in property
(other than debt instruments of the issuer) at least annually at a single fixed rate or a single qualified floating rate. 
 If the notes are issued with OID, then aA
U.S. Holder will be required to include suchOID in gross income (as ordinary income) as such OID accrues on a constant yield to maturity basis for U.S. federal
income tax purposes in advance of the receipt of cash payments to which such OID is attributable and regardless of the holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The amount of OID includible in gross income for a
taxable year will be the sum of the daily portions of OID with respect to the note for each day during that taxable year on which the U.S. Holder holds such note. The daily portion is determined by allocating to each day in an “accrual
period” a pro rata portion of the OID allocable to that accrual period. An accrual period may be of any length and the length of the accrual periods may vary over the life of the note, provided that no accrual period may be longer than one year
and each scheduled payment of interest or principal on the note must occur on either the first day or last day of an accrual period. The OID allocable to any accrual period will equal (a) the product of the “adjusted issue price” of
such note as of the beginning of such period and such note’s yield to maturity (adjusted to reflect the length of the accrual period), less (b) the qualified stated interest allocable to the accrual period. The “adjusted issue
price” of a note as of the beginning of any accrual period will equal its issue price, increased by previously accrued OID and decreased by the amount of payments on such note other than payments of qualified stated interest. The yield to
maturity of a note generally is the discount rate that, when applied to all payments to be made under the note, produces a present value (as of the issue date) equal to the issue price of the note. 

A U.S. Holder will not be required to recognize any additional income upon the receipt of any cash payment on a note that is attributable to
previously accrued OID. 
 The rules regarding OID are complex. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers with regard to the
possibility and amount of OID.

Officers’
Certificate

 

December 23, 2020

 

The undersigned officers
of Prologis Euro Finance LLC (the “Company”), acting pursuant to the written consent of the Trustee of Prologis,
which is the sole member of the Company, on December 18, 2020, hereby establish a series of debt securities by means of this
Officers’ Certificate in accordance with the Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2018 (the “Base Indenture,”
and as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto, the “Indenture”), among the Company, Prologis,
L.P., as parent guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms
used but not defined in this Officers’ Certificate shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.

 

1.            The
series shall be entitled the “Floating Rate Notes due 2022” (the “Notes”) and shall be a series
of Euro Notes as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture.

 

2.            The
Notes initially shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of €300,000,000 (except in each case for Notes authenticated
and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of or within the Series pursuant
to Section 304, 305, 306, 906, 1107 or 1305 of the Base Indenture); provided, the Company may increase such aggregate
principal amount upon the action of the Board of Directors to do so from time to time.

 

3.

 

		a.	The aggregate principal amount of the Notes is payable at maturity on December 23, 2022.

 

		b.	The per annum interest rate on the Notes in effect for each day of an Interest Period (as defined
below) shall be equal to the Applicable Rate (as defined below) plus 28 basis points; provided, however, that in no event
shall the interest rate be less than zero. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from and including December 23, 2020 or from
and including the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest
on the Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 23, June 23, September 23 and December 23 of each
year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on March 23, 2021. The interest so payable, and punctually
paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name
the Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) calendar
day, whether or not a Business Day,), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular
Record Date”).

 

		c.	The interest rate on the Notes shall be set on March 23, June 23, September 23 and
December 23 of each year, and shall be set for the initial Interest Period on December 23, 2020 (each such date, an “Interest
Reset Date”) until the principal on the Notes is paid or made available for payment (the “Principal Payment
Date”). If any Interest Reset Date and Interest Payment Date would otherwise be on a day that is not a Business Day,
such Interest Reset Date and Interest Payment Date shall be the next succeeding Business Day, unless the next succeeding Business
Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Interest Reset Date and Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately
preceding Business Day.

 

     

     

    

 

		d.	Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable
to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed
by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes of this series not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days
prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more
fully provided in the Indenture.

 

		e.	“Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday, (1) which is not
a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York or London are generally authorized or obligated by law to close, and
(2) is a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (“TARGET2”)
system, or any successor thereto, operates.

 

		f.	“Interest Period” shall mean the period from and including an Interest Reset Date to,
but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Reset Date and, in the case of the last such period, from and including the Interest
Reset Date immediately preceding the maturity date or Principal Payment Date, as the case may be, to, but excluding, such maturity
date or Principal Payment Date, as the case may be. If the Principal Payment Date or maturity date is not a Business Day, then
the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, shall be paid on the next succeeding Business
Day and no interest shall accrue for the maturity date, Principal Payment Date or any day thereafter.

 

		g.	The “Applicable Rate” shall mean the rate determined in accordance with the following
provisions:

 

		i.	Two prior TARGET2 days on which dealings in deposits in euros are transacted in the euro-zone interbank
market preceding each Interest Reset Date (each such date, an “Interest Determination Date”), Elavon Financial
Services DAC, UK Branch, (the “Calculation Agent”), as agent for the Company, shall determine the Applicable
Rate which shall be the rate for deposits in euro having a maturity of three months commencing on the first day of the applicable
Interest Period that appears on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination
Date. “Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page” means the display designated on page “EURIBOR01” on Reuters
(or such other page as may replace the EURIBOR01 page on that service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying
euro-zone interbank offered rates for euro-denominated deposits of major banks). If the Applicable Rate on such Interest Determination
Date does not appear on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page, the Applicable Rate shall be determined as described in the immediately
succeeding subparagraph.

 

    2 

     

    

 

		ii.	With respect to an Interest Determination Date for which the Applicable Rate does not appear on
the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page as specified in the immediately preceding subparagraph, the Applicable Rate shall be determined
on the basis of the rates at which deposits in euro are offered by four major banks in the euro-zone interbank market selected
by the Company (the “Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination
Date to prime banks in the euro-zone interbank market having a maturity of three months, and in a principal amount equal to an
amount of not less than €1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. The Company
shall request the principal euro-zone office of each of such Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two
such quotations are provided, the Applicable Rate on such Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards)
of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the Applicable Rate on such Interest Determination Date shall be
the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards) of the rates quoted by three major banks in the euro-zone selected by the Company at approximately
11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date for loans in euro to leading European banks, having a maturity of
three months, and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than €1,000,000 that is representative for a single
transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected as aforesaid by the Company are
not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the relevant interest rate for the Interest Period commencing on the Interest Reset
Date following such Interest Determination Date shall be the interest rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date (i.e.,
the same as the rate determined for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date).

 

		h.	Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of an ACTUAL/360 day count convention.

 

		i.	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that EURIBOR
has been permanently discontinued, or the reference to EURIBOR becomes illegal, or most other debt obligations similar to the Notes
have converted away from EURIBOR to a new reference rate, the Calculation Agent shall use, as directed in writing by the Company,
as a substitute for EURIBOR for each future Interest Determination Date, the alternative reference rate (the “Alternative
Rate”) selected by a central bank, reserve bank, monetary authority or any similar institution (including any committee or
working group thereof) that is consistent with accepted market practice regarding a substitute for EURIBOR. As part of such substitution,
the Calculation Agent shall, as directed in writing by the Company, make such adjustments (“Adjustments”) to the Alternative
Rate and/or the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, Interest Determination Rates and related provisions
and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations
such as the Notes. If the Company determines there is no clear market consensus as to whether any rate has replaced EURIBOR in
customary market usage, the Company may appoint an independent financial advisor (the “IFA”) to determine an appropriate
Alternative Rate, and any Adjustments, and the decision of the IFA shall be binding on the Company, the Calculation Agent, the
Trustee and Holders. If, however, the Company determines that EURIBOR has been discontinued, but for any reason an Alternative
Rate has not been determined, the rate of EURIBOR for the next interest period shall be equal to such rate on the Interest Determination
Date when EURIBOR was last available on Reuters Page EURIBOR01, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

4.           The
Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and notices or demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Notes and the Indenture may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, located at 125 Old Broad Street, London
EC2N 1AR, United Kingdom. The principal of the Notes payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repurchase shall be paid
against presentation and surrender of the Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent.

 

5.           On
December 23, 2021, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed
to, but not including, the December 23, 2021. In order for the Company to redeem the Notes on December 23, 2021, notice
of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106 of the Base Indenture no earlier than the opening of business
on October 15, 2021 and no later than the close of business on November 24, 2021.

 

On and after November 23,
2022, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed
to, but not including, the redemption date. In order for the Company to redeem the Notes on or after November 23, 2022, notice
of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106 of the Base Indenture at least 15 but not more than 60 days
before the redemption date.

 

In addition, if, as
a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States
(or any taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application
or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after
December 18, 2020, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, shall
become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes, then the Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company,
in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price (the “Tax Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but not including, the Redemption Date. Notice
of any redemption shall be transmitted to Holders not more than 60 nor less than 15 days prior to the Redemption Date.

 

If notice of redemption
has been given as provided in the Base Indenture and the preceding three paragraphs, and funds for the redemption of any Notes
called for redemption shall have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in such notice, such Notes shall cease
to bear interest on the Redemption Date and the only right of the Holders of the Notes from and after the Redemption Date shall
be to receive payment of the Redemption Price or Tax Redemption Price, as applicable, upon surrender of such Notes in accordance
with such notice.

 

    4 

     

    

 

6.           Each
Holder of the Notes has the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all, but not less than all, of such Holder’s
Notes on December 23, 2021 (the “Repurchase Date”), at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being purchased to, but not
including, the Repurchase Date (the “Repurchase Price”).

 

For any Note to be repurchased, the Trustee
and the Paying Agent must receive, at their respective offices maintained for such purpose, no earlier than the opening of business
on October 15, 2021 and no later than the close of business on November 17, 2021:

 

		·	in the case of Notes in definitive form and held outside of Euroclear and Clearstream, the actual Notes and the form entitled
 “Option to Elect Repurchase” duly completed; or

 

		·	in the case of a Note in global form as represented by the Global Euro Note, instructions to that effect from the applicable
beneficial owner of the Global Euro Note representing the Notes to the Common Depositary (via Euroclear and Clearstream) and forwarded
by the Common Depositary to the Paying Agent and Trustee.

 

Any notice of election
from a Holder to exercise the repurchase option must be received by the Trustee and the Paying Agent by 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on November 17, 2021. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall provide the Company with any such notice of election received
from a Holder of the Notes within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice. Exercise of the repurchase option by the
Holder of a Note shall be irrevocable. Sections 1105 and 1106 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the repurchase option, except
that references in such sections to “redemption” or similar words shall be deemed to refer to “repurchase.”

 

If notice of election
has been given as provided in this Paragraph 6, and funds for the repurchase of any Notes subject to such notice shall have been
made available on the Repurchase Date, such Notes shall cease to bear interest on the Repurchase Date and the only right of the
Holders of the Notes from and after the Repurchase Date shall be to receive payment of the Repurchase Price, as applicable, upon
surrender of such Notes.

 

7.           All
payments in respect of the Notes shall be made by or on behalf of the Company without withholding or deduction for, or on account
of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature, imposed or levied by the United
States or any taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. If such withholding
or deduction is required by law, the Company shall, subject to certain exceptions provided for herein, pay to a Holder who is not
a United States person such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) on the Notes as are necessary in order
that the net payment by the Company or the Paying Agent of the principal of, and premium, Redemption Price or Repurchase Price,
if any, and interest on, the Notes to such Holder, after such withholding or deduction, shall not be less than the amount provided
in the Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall
not apply:

 

(i)            to
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the Holder, or a fiduciary, settlor,
beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding
a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as:

 

    5 

     

    

 

(a)            being
or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United
States or having or having had a qualified business unit which has the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency;

 

(b)            having
a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the ownership of the
Notes, the receipt of any payment or the enforcement of any rights thereunder) or being considered as having such relationship,
including being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

(c)            being
or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation with respect
to the United States or a foreign personal holding company that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income
tax;

 

(d)            being
or having been an owner of a 10% or greater interest in the capital or profits of the Company within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of
the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any successor provision; or

 

(e)            being
a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its
trade or business;

 

(ii)         to
any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes, or a portion of the Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or
limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a beneficial owner
or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had
the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

 

(iii)        to
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or any other
person to comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence,
identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, if compliance is required by statute,
by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States
is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

 

(iv)        to
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Company or a paying agent
from the payment;

 

(v)         to
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a change in law, regulation, or administrative
or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever
occurs later;

 

(vi)        to
any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment
or other governmental charge;

 

    6 

     

    

 

(vii)       to
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or
interest on any Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent;

 

(viii)      to
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of any
Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable
or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

 

(ix)        to
any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and related Treasury
regulations, pronouncements relating thereto or official interpretations thereof or any successor provisions, any agreements entered
into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code, any applicable intergovernmental agreement entered into between the
United States and any other governmental authority in connection with the implementation of the foregoing and any regulations or
official law, agreement or interpretations thereof implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto; or

 

(x)         in
the case of any combination of items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix).

 

The Notes are subject
in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Notes.
Except as specifically provided under this Paragraph 7, the Company shall not be required to make any payment for any tax, duty,
assessment or governmental charge of whatever nature imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of
or in any government or political subdivision.

 

8.            The
Notes shall not provide for any sinking fund or analogous provision. Except as provided in Paragraph 6, none of the Notes shall
be redeemable at the option of the Holder.

 

9.            The
Notes shall be issuable in registered form substantially in the form set out in Exhibit A of the First Supplemental Indenture
without coupons in minimum denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof.

 

10.          The
principal amount of, and premium, if any, on, the Notes shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration pursuant to Section 502
of the Base Indenture.

 

11.          The
Notes shall be denominated in and principal of or interest on the Notes (or Redemption Price, Tax Redemption Price or Repurchase
Price, if applicable) shall be payable in euros. If the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls
or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or the euro is no longer used by the member states of the European Monetary
Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the
international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes shall be made in U.S. Dollars until the euro is again
available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euros shall be converted into U.S.
Dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second
business day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a
rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. Dollar/euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior
to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange
rate, the rate shall be determined in the Company’s sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange
rate for euros. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. Dollars shall not constitute an Event of Default. Neither the
Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling redenominations.

 

    7 

     

    

 

12.            Except
as provided in Paragraphs 3 and 5 of this Officers’ Certificate, the amount of payments of principal of or interest on the
Notes (or Redemption Price, Tax Redemption Price or Repurchase Price, if applicable) shall not be determined with reference to
an index or formula.

 

13.            Except
as set forth herein, in the Indenture or in the Notes, none of the principal of or interest on the Notes (or Redemption Price,
Tax Redemption Price or Repurchase Price, if applicable) shall be payable at the election of the Company or a Holder thereof in
a currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies other than that in which the Notes are denominated
or stated to be payable.

 

14.            Except
as set forth in the Indenture or the Trust Indenture Act, the Notes shall not contain any provisions granting special rights to
the Holders of Notes upon the occurrence of specified events.

 

15.            The
Notes shall not contain any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the Events of Default or covenants of the Company
contained in the Indenture.

 

16.            Except
as set forth herein, in the Indenture or in the Notes, the Notes shall not be issued in the form of bearer Securities or temporary
global Securities.
