Submission of Orders Each person desiring to purchase Shares in the Offering will be required to complete and execute a subscription eligibility form provided by the Company to each Dealer for use in connection with the Offering (the “Eligibility Form”) and to deliver to the Dealer such completed and executed Eligibility Form together with a check or wire transfer (“instrument of payment”) in the amount of such person’s purchase, which must be at least the minimum purchase amount set forth in the Prospectus. Those persons who purchase Shares will be instructed by the Dealer to make their instruments of payment payable to or for the benefit of “Dividend Capital Diversified Property Fund Inc.” Purchase orders received and processed by the Company prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time; the “close of business”) on any business day will be executed at the price per share of the class of shares being purchased calculated at the end of such business day plus, for Class A shares only, applicable selling commissions, in accordance with the procedures described in the Prospectus. Purchase orders received and processed after the close of business on any business day, or on a day that is not a business day, will be executed at the price per share of the class of shares being purchased calculated at the end of the next business day plus, for Class A shares only, applicable selling commissions, in accordance with the procedures described in the Prospectus. Subscribers may not submit an initial purchase order until at least five (5) business days after the date on which the subscriber receives a copy of the Prospectus. If the Dealer receives an Eligibility Form or instrument of payment not conforming to the foregoing instructions, the Dealer shall return such Eligibility Form and instrument of payment directly to such subscriber not later than the end of the next business day following its receipt. Eligibility Forms and instruments of payment received by the Dealer which conform to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted for deposit pursuant to one of the methods described in this Section II. Transmittal of received investor funds will be made in accordance with the following procedures: Where, pursuant to the Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, internal supervisory review is conducted at the same location at which Eligibility Forms and instruments of payment are received from subscribers, Eligibility Forms and instruments of payment will be transmitted by the end of the next business day following receipt by the Dealer for deposit to Dividend Capital Diversified Property Fund Inc. as set forth in the Eligibility Form or as otherwise directed by the Company. Where, pursuant to the Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, final and internal supervisory review is conducted at a different location, Eligibility Forms and instruments of payment will be transmitted by the end of the next business day following receipt by the Dealer to the office of the Dealer conducting such final internal supervisory review (the “Final Review Office”). The Final Review Office will in turn, by the end of the next business day following receipt by the Final Review Office, transmit such Eligibility Forms and instruments of payment for deposit to Dividend Capital Diversified Property Fund Inc. as set forth in the Eligibility Form or as otherwise directed by the Company.

With respect to any order for the creation or redemption of Creation Units, the Participant acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself and any party for which it is acting (regardless of its capacity) to return to the Trust any dividend, distribution or other corporate action paid to it or to the party for which it is acting in respect of any Deposit Security that is transferred to the Participant or any party for which it is acting that, based on the valuation of such Deposit Security at the time of transfer should have been paid to the Trust. With respect to any orders for the creation or redemption of Creation Units, the Participant also acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself and any party for which it is acting (regardless of its capacity) that the Transfer Agent is entitled to reduce the amount of money or other proceeds due to the Participant or any party for which it is acting that, based on the valuation of such Deposit Security at the time of transfer, should be paid to the Fund.

Transfer Agent shall provide, (i) no less frequently than annually, electronic access to its Policies to the chief compliance officer of the Fund (the “Chief Compliance Officer”), and/or any individual designated by the Fund or such Chief Compliance Officer, including but not limited to members of the internal compliance and audit departments of Federated Investors, Inc., and any advisory board constituted by the Fund provided that the Transfer Agent may reasonably require any members of such advisory board that are not employees of the Fund or its Affiliates to execute a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information; (ii) at such reasonable times as he or she shall request, access by such Chief Compliance Officer to such individuals as may be necessary for the Chief Compliance Officer to conduct an annual review of the operation of such Policies for purposes of making his or her annual report to the Board of the Fund (the “Annual Report”), (iii) promptly upon enactment, notification of, and a copy of, any material change in such Policies, and (iv) promptly upon request, such other information as may be reasonably requested by such Chief Compliance Officer for purposes of making such Annual Report.
Placement of Orders The Adviser shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale of securities for a Fund’s account with brokers or dealers selected by the Adviser. In the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the Adviser is directed at all times to seek for each Fund the most favorable execution and net price available under the circumstances. It is also understood that it is desirable for the Funds that the Adviser have access to brokerage and research services provided by brokers who may execute brokerage transactions at a higher cost to the Funds than may result when allocating brokerage to other brokers, consistent with section 28(e) of the 1934 Act and any Commission staff interpretations thereof. Therefore, the Adviser is authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of securities for a Fund with such brokers, subject to review by the Board from time to time with respect to the extent and continuation of this practice. It is understood that the services provided by such brokers may be useful to the Adviser in connection with its or its affiliates’ services to other clients.
Accuracy of Orders; Customer Signatures You shall be responsible for the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of any orders transmitted by you on behalf of your customers by any means, including wire or telephone. In addition, you agree to guarantee the signatures of your customers when such guarantee is required by the Company and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless all persons, including us and the Funds’ transfer agent, from and against any and all loss, cost, damage or expense suffered or incurred in reliance upon such signature guarantee.
Acceptance of Orders POSITION LIMITS.
AGGREGATION OF ORDERS On occasions when the Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of the Allocated Assets as well as other clients of the Adviser, the Adviser may to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the orders for securities to be purchased or sold. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Adviser in the manner the Adviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Portfolio and to its other clients. The Manager recognizes that, in some cases, the Adviser’s allocation procedure may limit the size of the position that may be acquired or sold for the Allocated Assets.
