Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Represents common units ("Common Units") of limited partnership interest in DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP, of which the Issuer is the general partner. Each Common Unit may be presented for redemption at the election of the holder at any time, for cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Issuer's Common Stock, except that the Issuer may, at its election, acquire each Common Unit so presented for one share of Common Stock. There is no stated expiration date for this redemption right.
(2) TGW Investors LLC is a party to a Transaction Agreement dated as of June 6, 2008 (the "Transaction Agreement") pursuant to which TGW Investors LLC agreed to sell equity interests in a number of private entities to third-party purchasers in exchange for, at the purchasers' option, $5.8 million in cash or Common Units with a value of $5.8 million. The Common Units are to be valued based on the market price of the Issuer's Common Stock, subject to a minimum value of $9.00 per unit and an agreed upon maximum value per unit. The put option contained in the Transaction Agreement may be terminated by TGW Investors LLC if it has not been exercised by December 16, 2008. Each Common Unit may be presented for redemption at the election of the holder, for cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Issuer's Common Stock, except that the Issuer may, at its election, acquire each Common Unit so presented for one share of Common Stock.
(3) Represents the number of Common Units subject to the put option contained in the Transaction Agreement based on the minimum value of $9.00 per unit.
(4) Represents the exercise of a portion of the put option contained in the Transaction Agreement pursuant to which third parties put Common Units to TGW Investors LLC in exchange for equity interests in private entities having an estimated value of $1,500,000. Because the Common Units were valued at a price per unit above $9.00 (the minimum value agreed to in the Transaction Agreement), this transaction is reported as the expiration of a portion of the $9.00 per unit fixed-rate put option contained in the Transaction Agreement and a private acquisition of the Common Units actually put to TGW Investors LLC. The portion of the put option that is deemed to have expired is a put option for 166,667 Common Units, which is equal to $1,500,000 divided by the $9.00 per unit minimum value contained in the put option.
(5) Represents the remaining number of Common Units subject to the put option contained in the Transaction Agreement based on the minimum value of $9.00 per unit.
