Pursuant to our bylaws and the Maryland General Corporation Law, each director will serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified. The next election of our board members is anticipated to be held at our annual meeting in 2006.

Information Regarding our Board of Directors and Committees

Our entire board of directors considers all major decisions concerning our business. However, our board has established various committees so that issues arising in these areas can be addressed in more depth and with greater frequency than may be possible with a full board meeting.

Audit Committee

Our board of directors has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. Our audit committee meets on a regular basis at least annually and throughout the year as necessary. Our audit committee’s primary function is to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial information to be provided to the shareholders and others, the system of internal controls which management has established and the audit and financial reporting process, all in accordance with our audit committee charter. Our audit committee is comprised of five directors, three of whom are required to be independent directors. Our audit committee is currently comprised of Philip R. Altinger, Tripp H. Hardin, John C. O’Keeffe, Bruce L. Warwick and Thomas G. Wattles. Messrs. Altinger, Hardin, O’Keeffe and Warwick are independent as defined by New York Stock Exchange Rule 303.01. Mr. Wattles qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. Our audit committee operates under a written charter that was originally adopted in July 2002. Our audit committee met four times during 2005.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and a Whistleblowing and Whistleblower Protection Policy which apply to all our directors and officers. A copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was included as Exhibit 14.1 of our Form 10-K, filed on March 22, 2004, and a copy of the Whistleblowing and Whistleblower Protection Policy was included as Exhibit 14.2 of our Form 10-K, filed on March 16, 2005.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, directors, certain executive officers and certain persons holding more than 10% of our common stock are required to report their initial ownership of our common stock and any changes in that ownership to the SEC. The SEC has designated specific due dates for these reports and we are required to identify in this proxy statement those persons who did not file these reports when due.

Based solely on the review of the copies of such forms received, or written representations received from certain reporting persons, we believe that all of our officers and directors have filed the reports required of them under Section 16(a) during fiscal year 2005. However, certain filings were deemed late due to administrative errors associated with our Independent Director Option Plan. Our Independent Director Option Plan allows for options to be automatically granted to directors upon the occurrence of certain events and subsequently such options are to be evidenced by a certificate. In 2005, such certificates were issued much later than the actual grant date of such options and therefore the directors were not timely notified of such option grants in order to timely file under Section 16(a). Upon receipt of the option certificates evidencing the grant of such options, the directors promptly filed their respective Forms 4 with the SEC. The following directors were affected in 2005 by this administrative error and therefore had late filings associated with issuances of options under our Independent Director Option Plan; Bruce L. Warwick, John C. O’Keeffe and Tripp H. Hardin each filed one late report with respect to these options. In addition, a Form 3 filed by Mr. Warwick was not filed within 10 days after his appointment as a director.

We did not have any shareholders owning more than 10% of our common stock during fiscal year 2005.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation of Executive Officers

We currently have no paid employees. Day-to-day management activities are performed by our advisor and related affiliates.

Our executive officers are all employees of our advisor. We do not pay any of these individuals cash compensation for serving in their respective positions. See “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” for a discussion of fees paid to our advisor and other affiliates.

Our executive officers qualify for our Employee Option Plan. However, since the plan’s inception through December 31, 2005, no option grants have been made to executive officers.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2005, the following directors served on our compensation committee: (1) Robert F. Masten, who resigned as an independent director and member of our compensation committee on July 19, 2005, (2) Bruce L. Warwick, who was duly nominated, voted and approved by our board as an independent director and member of our compensation committee on July 19, 2005, (3) James R. Mulvihill, and (4) Lars O. Soderberg. Mr. Mulvihill also served as our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Soderberg subsequently resigned as an independent director and member of our compensation committee on January 6, 2006.

Compensation of Directors

During 2005, we paid each of our independent directors $5,000 per quarter plus $1,000 for each meeting attended. All directors received reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the board of directors. If a director also was an officer of Dividend Capital Trust, no separate compensation was paid for services rendered as a director.

We have also adopted the Independent Director Option Plan. We have reserved 300,000 shares of common stock for future issuance upon the exercise of stock options granted to the independent directors pursuant to our Independent Director Option Plan. As of December 31, 2005, there were 70,000 options outstanding under the Independent Director Option Plan.

During 2005, 2004 and 2003, our independent directors earned compensation in the aggregate amount of $138,000, $152,000 and $22,500, respectively. Approximately $36,000, $36,000 and $15,000 was accrued as of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to compensation to the independent board of directors.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Stock Warrants

Pursuant to our first and second public offerings, the Dealer Manager earned one soliciting dealer warrant for every 25 shares sold (see “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”). These warrants, as well as the shares issuable upon their exercise, were registered in connection with our first and second public offerings. In September 2005, our board of directors approved and we issued approximately 2.2 million soliciting dealer warrants to the Dealer Manager representing all of the warrants the Dealer Manager earned in connection with both of the aforementioned offerings.

Our dealer manager may retain or re-allow these warrants to broker-dealers that participated in the offering, unless such issuance of soliciting dealer warrants is prohibited by either federal or state securities laws. The holder of a soliciting dealer warrant is entitled to purchase one share of common stock from us at a price of $12 per share beginning on the first anniversary of the effective date of the offering in which such warrants were issued and ending five years after the effective date of such offering. Subject to certain exceptions, a soliciting dealer warrant may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of one year following the effective date of the relevant public offering. Exercise of the soliciting dealer warrants is governed by the terms and conditions detailed in the warrant purchase agreement.

The amount of such acquisition fees was previously equal to 3% of the aggregate purchase price of all properties we acquired up to a cumulative purchase price of $170 million. In March 2004, we reached the cumulative threshold of $170 million in properties and all subsequent acquisitions have been and will continue to be subject to a reduced acquisition fee of 1.0%. During the year ended December 31, 2005, our advisor earned approximately $11.1 million for acquisition fees which are accounted for as part of the historical cost of the acquired properties.

We pay our advisor an asset management fee equal to 0.75% per annum of the total undepreciated cost of the properties we own in excess of $170 million. During the year ended December 31, 2005, we incurred asset management fees of $8.9 million.

Pursuant to the advisory agreement, our advisor is obligated to advance all of our offering costs subject to its right to be reimbursed for such costs by us in an amount up to 2% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds raised in our public offerings of common stock. Such offering costs include, but are not limited to, actual legal, accounting, printing and other expenses attributable to preparing the SEC registration statements, qualification of the shares for sale in the states and filing fees incurred by our advisor, as well as reimbursements for marketing, salaries and direct expenses of its employees while engaged in registering and marketing the shares, other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, our advisor incurred approximately $8.6 million of offering costs and we reimbursed our advisor approximately $13.3 million for such costs. These costs are reflected in equity as offering costs when such reimbursement obligations are incurred. As of December 31, 2005, the un-reimbursed amount of offering costs incurred by our advisor, since inception (April 12, 2002), was approximately $451,000. As described in Note 7-Public Offerings to the consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2006, we closed the primary offering component of our fourth public offering on January 23, 2006 and we may fully reimburse our advisor for all remaining un-reimbursed offering costs.

Our advisor is obligated to pay all of the offering and marketing related costs associated with our partnership’s private placement. However, our partnership is obligated to pay our advisor a non-accountable expense allowance which equals 2% of the gross equity proceeds raised through our partnership’s private placement. During the year ended December 31, 2005 our partnership incurred approximately $2.3 million payable to our advisor for such expense allowance.

In accordance with the advisory agreement we are obligated, subject to certain limitations, to reimburse our advisor for certain other expenses incurred on our behalf for providing services contemplated in the advisory agreement, provided that our advisor does not receive a specific fee for the activities which generate the expenses to be reimbursed. For the year ended December 31, 2005 we have reimbursed approximately $511,000 respectively, for such costs.

As of December 31, 2005, we owed our advisor approximately $624,000 for various fees and reimbursements as described above which is included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Our advisor currently owns 20,000 limited partnership units of our partnership, for which it contributed $200,000. Our advisor may not sell any of these units during the period it serves as our advisor. We serve as the general partner of our operating partnership and currently own 200 general partnership units for which we contributed $2,000. As of December 31, 2005, we owned approximately 133,206,784 limited partnership units or over 98% of our partnership. The parent of our advisor owns 10,000 limited partnership units referred to as “Special Units,” for which it contributed $1,000. An affiliate of our advisor also owns 200 shares of our common stock, which it acquired upon our initial formation. The resale of any shares by our affiliates is subject to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which rule limits the number of shares that may be sold at any one time and the manner of such resale.

Although our advisor and its affiliates generally are not prohibited from acquiring our common stock, our advisor has no options or warrants to acquire shares and has no current plans to acquire shares. The affiliate of our advisor which owns outstanding shares has agreed to abstain from voting any shares it now owns or hereafter acquires in any vote for the election of directors or any vote regarding the approval or termination of any contract with our advisor or any of its affiliates.

The Dealer Manager

Our public and private offerings are managed by the Dealer Manager under the terms of certain dealer manager agreements. The Dealer Manager is considered a related party as it is indirectly majority owned and/or controlled by Mr. Charlie Murray, Mr. Mark Quam and Messrs. Blumberg, Florence, Mulvihill, Wattles, and Zucker and their affiliates.

We have entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with the Dealer Manager pursuant to which we pay a dealer manager fee of up to 2.0% of gross offering proceeds raised pursuant to our public offerings of common stock to the Dealer Manager as compensation for managing the offering. The Dealer Manager may re-allow a portion of such fees to broker-dealers who participate in the offering. We also pay up to a 6% sales commission of gross offering proceeds raised pursuant to our public offerings of common stock. As of December 31, 2005, all sales commissions had been re-allowed to participating broker-dealers. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we incurred approximately $49.9 million payable to the Dealer Manager for dealer manager fees and sales commissions. Such amounts are considered a cost of raising capital and as such are included as a reduction of additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2006.

We have also entered into a dealer manager agreement with the Dealer Manager pursuant to which we pay a dealer manager fee of up to 1.5% of the gross equity proceeds raised through our partnership’s private placement. We also pay the Dealer Manager a sales commission of up to 5.0% of the gross equity proceeds raised through our partnership’s private placement. As of December 31, 2005, substantially all of the sales commissions were re-allowed to participating broker-dealers who are responsible for affecting sales. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we incurred up front fees of approximately $7.6 million payable to the Dealer Manager for dealer manager fees and sales commissions. Such amounts are included in deferred loan costs on the consolidated balance sheets included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2006.

Pursuant to our first and second public offerings, the Dealer Manager earned one soliciting dealer warrant for every 25 shares sold. The holder of a soliciting dealer warrant has the right to purchase one share of common stock for $12. In September 2005, our board of directors approved and we issued approximately 2.2 million soliciting dealer warrants to the Dealer Manager representing all of the warrants the Dealer Manager earned in connection with our first and second public offerings. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, we valued these warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and based on our historical volatility, these warrants had a nominal value. No warrants were offered in our third or fourth public offering. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Dealer Manager did not earn any soliciting dealer warrants as all shares sold during such period were in connection with our third and fourth public.

As of December 31, 2005, we owed the Dealer Manager approximately $1.4 million in relation to the fees described above which is included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Facilitator

The Facilitator is responsible for the facilitation of transactions associated with our partnership’s private placement. The Facilitator is considered a related party as it is indirectly majority owned and/or controlled by Messrs. Quam, Blumberg, Florence, Mulvihill, Wattles, and Zucker and their affiliates.

We pay the Facilitator up to 1.5% of the gross equity proceeds raised through our partnership’s private placement for transaction facilitation. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we incurred approximately $1.8 million payable to the Facilitator for such fees. In accordance with SFAS No. 98, these fees, as well as the other fees associated with our partnership’s private placement, are recorded as deferred loan costs and amortized over the life of the financing.
