PROPRIETARY RISK ASSESSMENT MODEL OBSERVATION Real estate evaluation performed with imperfect information Arbitrary decision rules influence and ultimately hinder integrity of the investment evaluation process CONVENTIONAL CASH FLOW MODEL IS OVERLY SIMPLISTIC General absence of probability around future leasing events One dimensional treatment of tenant credit exposure Static inputs, no sensitivity analysis SOLUTION Probabilistic assessment of risk Probability adjusted cash flows Model requires inputs, distributions, and boundaries (standard deviations) Returns sensitized to arrive at expected value Focus on process rather than outcomes Thoughtful organizational structure Inputs derived across the organization / healthy tension across departments THOUGHTFUL SYSTEM & PROCESS FOR IDENTIFYING VALUE 12

DEFINITIONS 20
NON GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES & OTHER DEFINITIONS Non GAAP Financial Measures and Other Definitions Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA): We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, property acquisition costs, gain on sales of rental property, termination income, straightline rent adjustments, non cash compensation, intangible amortization in rental income, loss on impairments and other non recurring items. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA: We define Annualized Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA multiplied by four. Annualized Adjusted Run Rate EBITDA: We define Annualized Adjusted Run Rate EBITDA as Annualized Adjusted EBITDA plus incremental Adjusted EBITDA on an annualized basis related to acquisitions acquired in each quarter for which a full quarter s results were not reflected less Adjusted EBITDA related to the quarter s dispositions. Annualized Base Rental Revenue: We define Annualized Base Rental Revenue as the monthly base cash rent for the applicable property or properties (which is different from rent calculated in accordance with GAAP for purposes of our financial statements), multiplied by 12. If a tenant is in a free rent period the annualized rent is calculated based on the first contractual monthly base rent amount multiplied by 12. Capitalization Rate: We define Capitalization Rate as the estimated weighted average stabilized cash capitalization rate, calculated by dividing (i) the Company s estimate of year one net cash flow from the applicable property s operations stabilized for occupancy, which does not include termination income, miscellaneous other income, credit loss, or vacancy loss, by (ii) the acquisition price, as defined by GAAP. These capitalization rate estimates are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our control, including those risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10 K for the year ended December 31, 2014. 21
NON GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES & OTHER DEFINITIONS Non GAAP Financial Measures and Other Definitions (continued) Debt Capacity: We define Debt Capacity as the aggregate undrawn nominal commitments under the Company s debt instruments. Funds from Operations (FFO), Core FFO, and Adjusted FFO (AFFO): We define FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ( NAREIT ). FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairment write downs of depreciable real estate, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and fair market value of debt adjustment) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Core FFO and AFFO exclude property acquisition costs, lease termination income, intangible amortization in rental income, consulting services fees and non recurring other expenses. AFFO also excludes non rental property depreciation and amortization, straight line rent adjustments, non cash portion of interest expense, non cash compensation expense and deducts recurring capital expenditures and lease renewal commissions and tenant improvements. GAAP: U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Immediate Availability: We define Immediate Availability as the amount of Debt Capacity the Company could borrow consistent with the financial covenants in its debt instruments. Location Classification: We define primary markets as the 29 largest industrial metropolitan areas, which each have approximately 200 million or more in net rentable square footage. We define secondary industrial markets as the markets which each have net rentable square footage ranging from approximately 25 million to approximately 200 million. We define tertiary markets as markets with less than 25 million square feet of net rentable square footage. 22
NON GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES & OTHER DEFINITIONS Non GAAP Financial Measures and Other Definitions (continued) Net operating income (NOI), Cash NOI, and Run Rate Cash NOI: We define NOI as rental income, including reimbursements, less property expenses and real estate taxes, which excludes depreciation, amortization, loss on impairments, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, interest income, corporate sub lease rental income, asset management fee income, property acquisition costs, offering costs, gain on sales of rental property, and other expenses. We define Cash NOI as NOI less straight line rent adjustments and less intangible amortization in rental income. We define Run Rate Cash NOI as Cash NOI plus Cash NOI adjusted for a full period of acquisitions, less termination income, and less Cash NOI from dispositions. Renewal Lease: We define a Renewal Lease as a lease signed by an existing tenant to extend the term for twelve months or more, including (i) a renewal of the same space as the current lease at lease expiration, (ii) a renewal of only a portion of the current space at lease expiration and (iii) an early renewal or workout, which ultimately does extend the original term for twelve months or more, but the renewal term commences before the lease expiration of their current lease. Retention Rate: We define Retention Rate as the percentage determined by taking Renewal Lease square footage commencing in the period divided by square feet of leases expiring in the period. Neither the Renewal Leases nor leases expiring include Temporary Leases or License Agreements. Temporary Leases/License Agreements: We define a Temporary Lease or a License Agreement as any lease that is signed for an initial term of less than twelve months; this includes short term new leases and short term renewal leases. 23
