In any event, if, upon a Change in Control, awards in other shares or securities are substituted for outstanding Awards pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan (or a successor provision), and immediately following the Change in Control, Participant becomes employed by 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, Participant shall not be treated as having terminated employment for purposes of this paragraph 12 until such time as Participant ceases to be an employee and/or ceases to provide services to the merged entity or purchaser (or successor), as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by Prologis in its discretion, the PSUs and Restricted PSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Award Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the PSUs or Restricted PSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Stock of Prologis.
