 EXHIBIT 10.5 
 ESCROW AGREEMENT 
 THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) made and entered into as of this 16th day of December, 2009 by and among Dividend Capital Securities LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (the “Dealer Manager”), Industrial Income Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent, a national banking association
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (the “Escrow Agent”). 
 RECITALS 

 WHEREAS, the Company proposes to offer and sell up to $1.5 billion of its shares of common stock (the
“Shares”), on a best-efforts basis (excluding the shares of its common stock to be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan), at an initial purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Offering”)
to investors pursuant to the Company’s Registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-159445) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Offering
Document”); 
 WHEREAS, the Dealer Manager has been engaged by the Company to offer and sell the Shares on a best
efforts basis through a network of participating broker-dealers (the “Dealers”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company has
agreed that the subscription price paid by subscribers for shares will be refunded to such subscribers if at least $2.0 million of gross offering proceeds from at least one-hundred persons who are not affiliated with the Company or Industrial Income
Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) (the “Minimum Offering”) has not been raised within one year from the date the Offering Document becomes effective with the SEC (the “Closing Date”); 
 WHEREAS, the Dealer Manager and the Company desire to establish an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”), as further
described herein in which funds received from subscribers will be deposited into an interest-bearing account entitled “UMB, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Industrial Income Trust Inc.” and the Company desires that UMB Bank, N.A. act as escrow
agent to the Escrow Account and Escrow Agent is willing to act in such capacity; 
 WHEREAS, deposits received from
residents from the State of New York (the “New York Subscribers”) and residents from the State of Tennessee (the “Tennessee Subscribers”) will remain in the Escrow Account until the conditions of Sections 3 and 4 hereof,
respectively, have been satisfied; 
 WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent has engaged Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the
“Transfer Agent”) to examine for “good order” subscriptions and to act as record keeper, maintaining on behalf of the Escrow Agent the ownership records for the Escrow Account. In so acting the Transfer Agent shall be acting
solely in the capacity of agent for the Escrow Agent 

 and not in any capacity on behalf of the Company or the Dealer Manager, nor shall they have any interest
other than that provided in this Agreement in assets in Transfer Agent’s possession as the agent of the Escrow Agent; and 
 WHEREAS, in order to subscribe for Shares during the Escrow Period (as defined below), a subscriber must deliver the full amount of its subscription: (i) by check made payable to the order of UMB
Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Industrial Income Trust Inc. in U.S. dollars or (ii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds or Automated ClearingHouse (ACH) in U.S. dollars, made payable as provided in Section 12(2). 

 AGREEMENT 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Dealer Manager, the Company and Escrow Agent agree to the terms of this Agreement as follows: 
 1. Establishment of Escrow Account; Escrow Period. On or prior to the commencement of the offering of Shares pursuant to the Offering Document, the Company shall establish the Escrow Account
with the Escrow Agent, which shall be entitled “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Industrial Income Trust Inc.” This Agreement shall be effective on the date on which the Offering Document becomes effective and the Company shall notify
the Transfer Agent and the Escrow Agent of the effective date of the Offering Document. Except as otherwise set forth herein with respect to the New York Subscribers and Tennessee Subscribers, the escrow period shall commence upon the effectiveness
of this Agreement and shall continue until the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Company has raised the Minimum Offering, (ii) the Closing Date, or (iii) the termination of the Offering by the Company prior to the receipt of the
Minimum Offering (the “Escrow Period”). 
 2. Operation of the Escrow. 
 (a) Deposits in the Escrow Account. During the Escrow Period, persons subscribing to purchase Shares will be instructed by the Company, the
Dealer Manager and the Dealers to make checks for subscriptions payable to the order of “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Industrial Income Trust Inc.” Completed subscription agreements and checks in payment for the purchase price shall
be remitted to the Escrow Agent at the address as provided for in Section 12(2), and wires, or Automated ClearingHouse (ACH) payments shall be transmitted directly to the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent hereby agrees to maintain the funds
contributed by the New York Subscribers and Tennessee Subscribers in a manner in which they may be separately accounted for by the records of the Transfer Agent so that the requirements of Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement can be met. Deposits
shall be held in the Escrow Account until such funds are disbursed in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to disbursement of the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, such funds shall not be subject to claims by creditors of the Company or any of
its affiliates. If any of the instruments of payment are returned to the Escrow Agent for nonpayment prior to raising the Minimum Offering, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Transfer Agent and the Company in writing via mail, email or
facsimile of such nonpayment, and the Escrow Agent is authorized to debit the Escrow Account in the amount of such returned payment and the Transfer Agent shall delete the appropriate account from the records maintained by the Transfer Agent. Within
30 days from 
  

 2 

 the date of receipt of each subscription, the Company will determine whether or not the subscription is to
be accepted or rejected in whole or in part. Within 10 business days of receipt by the Escrow Agent of written notice from the Company, or as soon thereafter as practicable, that a subscription has been rejected, the Escrow Agent shall transfer by
check the funds and all interest, if any, earned thereon, of any subscribers whose subscription has been rejected since the commencement of the Offering. The Transfer Agent will maintain a written account of each sale, which account shall set forth,
among other things, the following information: (i) the subscriber’s name and address, (ii) the subscriber’s social security number, (iii) the number of Shares purchased by such subscriber, and (iv) the amount paid by
such subscriber for such Shares. During the Escrow Period neither the Company nor the Dealer Manager will be entitled to any funds received into the Escrow Account. 
 (b) Distribution of the Funds in the Escrow Account to Subscribers other than the New York Subscribers and Tennessee Subscribers. If at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, the Minimum Offering has
been raised, then upon the happening of such event, the funds in the Escrow Account shall remain in the Escrow Account until the Escrow Agent receives written direction provided by the Company and the Dealer Manager instructing the Escrow Agent to
deliver such funds as the Company shall direct (other than any funds received from New York Subscribers and Tennessee Subscribers which cannot be released until the conditions of Sections 3 and 4, respectively, have been met). The Escrow Agent shall
release funds and any interest or other income earned thereon from the Escrow Account as directed by the Company pursuant to written instruction that the Company shall provide to the Escrow Agent from time to time and the Escrow Agent shall within
10 business days of such written instructions, or as soon thereafter as practicable, transfer by check to each subscriber any interest actually earned. 
 (c) If the Company has not raised the Minimum Offering on or prior to the Closing Date, the Transfer Agent shall provide the Escrow Agent the information needed to return the funds in the Escrow Account,
together with any interest thereon, to each respective subscriber, and the Escrow Agent shall promptly (but in no event later that 30 business days following the Closing Date) create and dispatch checks and wires drawn on the Escrow Account to
return the amount of the funds in the Escrow Account, together with their pro rata share of any interest thereon, without deduction, penalty or expense, to the respective subscribers, and the Escrow Agent shall notify the Company and the Dealer
Manager of its distribution of the funds. The subscription payments returned to each subscriber shall be free and clear of any and all claims of the Company or any of its creditors. 
 3. Distribution of the Funds from New York Subscribers. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, disbursements of funds contributed by New York Subscribers may only be distributed in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.
Irrespective of any disbursement of funds from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Escrow Agent will continue to place deposits from the New York Subscribers into the Escrow Account, until such time as the Company notifies the
Escrow Agent in writing that total subscription proceeds (including amounts previously disbursed as directed by the Company and the amounts then held in the Escrow Account) equal or exceed $2.5 million, 
  

 3 

 whereupon the Escrow Agent shall disburse to the Company, at the Company’s request, any funds from New
York Subscribers in the Escrow Account received by the Escrow Agent for accepted subscriptions, but not those funds of a subscriber whose subscription has been rejected or rescinded of which the Escrow Agent has been notified by the Company, or
otherwise in accordance with the Company’s written request. 
 (b) If the Company has not received total subscriptions of
at least $2.5 million prior to the termination of the Offering all funds in the Escrow Account that were contributed by New York Subscribers will be promptly returned in full to such New York Subscribers, together with their pro rata share of any
interest earned thereon pursuant to instructions made by the Company, upon which the Escrow Agent may conclusively rely. 
 4.
Distribution of the Funds from Tennessee Subscribers. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
disbursements of funds contributed by Tennessee Subscribers may only be distributed in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4. Irrespective of any disbursement of funds from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the
Escrow Agent will continue to place deposits from the Tennessee Subscribers into the Escrow Account, until such time as the Company notifies the Escrow Agent in writing that total subscription proceeds (including amounts previously disbursed as
directed by the Company and the amounts then held in the Escrow Account) equal or exceed $10 million, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall disburse to the Company, at the Company’s request, any funds from Tennessee Subscribers in the Escrow Account
received by the Escrow Agent for accepted subscriptions, but not those funds of a subscriber whose subscription has been rejected or rescinded of which the Escrow Agent has been notified by the Company, or otherwise in accordance with the
Company’s written request. 
 (b) If the Company has not received total subscriptions of at least $10 million prior to the
termination of the Offering all funds in the Escrow Account that were contributed by Tennessee Subscribers will be promptly returned in full to such Tennessee Subscribers, together with their pro rata share of any interest earned thereon pursuant to
instructions made by the Company, upon which the Escrow Agent may conclusively rely. 
 5. Funds in the Escrow Account.
Upon receipt of funds from subscribers of Shares pursuant to the Offering, the Escrow Agent shall hold such funds in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. All such funds held in the Escrow Account shall be invested, and reinvested by the
Escrow Agent without unreasonable delay, as directed in writing by the Company, only in bank accounts (e.g., savings accounts) and any other investments permitted under Rule 15c2-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All funds in the
Escrow Account shall at all times be placed in interest-bearing accounts unless otherwise determined by the Company. 
 The
Escrow Agent shall be entitled to sell or redeem any such investment as necessary to make any distributions required under this Agreement and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any such sale or redemption. 
 Interest, if any, resulting from the investment of the funds in the Escrow Account shall be distributed according to this Agreement.

  

 4 

 The Escrow Agent shall provide to the Company monthly statements (or more frequently as
reasonably requested by the Company) on the account balance in the Escrow Account and the activities in such account since the last report. Such periodic statements shall identify the account balance, and the activities since the last report.

 6. Duties of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly
set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent is not a party to, or bound by, any other agreement among the other parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and the Escrow Agent’s duties shall be determined solely by reference to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person, other than as provided herein. The Escrow Agent shall
be under no liability to anyone by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person’s obligations under any such document. 
 7. Liability of the Escrow Agent; Indemnification. The Escrow Agent acts hereunder as a depository only. The Escrow Agent is not
responsible or liable in any manner for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of this Agreement or with respect to the form of execution of the same. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it, or any
action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith, and in the exercise of its own best judgment, and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel
(including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any
information therein contained) which is reasonably believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person(s). The Escrow Agent shall not be held liable for any error in judgment made in good faith by an officer
or employee of it unless it shall be proved that the Escrow Agent was grossly negligent or reckless in ascertaining the pertinent facts or acted intentionally in bad faith. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice of demand, or any waiver,
modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected,
unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto. 
 The Escrow Agent may consult legal counsel and shall exercise
reasonable care in the selection of such counsel, in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance

upon and shall be protected, indemnified and held harmless by the Company, for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of any document or property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or
of the signature or endorsement thereon, or for any description therein; nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable in any respect on account 
  

 5 

 of the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or
deliver any document, property or this Agreement. 
 In the event that the Escrow Agent shall become involved in any arbitration
or litigation relating to the funds in the Escrow Account, it is authorized to comply with any decision reached through such arbitration or litigation. 
 The Company, hereby agrees to indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and to hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection herewith without gross negligence, recklessness or
willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent, including without limitation reasonable and documented legal or other fees arising out of or in connection with its entering into this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder, including
without limitation the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises or any action for interpleader. The Escrow Agent shall not be under any obligation to institute or defend any action, suit, or legal
proceeding in connection herewith, unless first indemnified and held harmless to its satisfaction in accordance with the foregoing, except that it shall not be indemnified against any loss, liability or expense arising out of its own gross
negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement or resignation of the Escrow Agent. 
 8. The Escrow Agent’s Fee. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to fees and expenses for its regular services as Escrow Agent as set forth in Exhibit A. Additionally, Escrow Agent is entitled to

 112010 Ameren Executive Incentive Plan

 Exhibit 10.1 
 

 
 2010 Ameren Executive Incentive Plan 
 For Officers 
  
  
 SUMMARY 
 The Ameren Executive Incentive Plan (EIP) is intended to reward eligible Officers for their contributions to Ameren’s success. The EIP rewards Officers
for Ameren’s earnings per share (EPS) results and individual performance. The EIP is approved by the Human Resources Committee of Ameren’s Board of Directors (“Committee”). Ameren reserves the right at its sole discretion to
revise, modify, continue or discontinue the EIP beyond the current plan year. 
 EIP ELIGIBILITY 
 All Officers who are actively employed on December 31, 2010 are eligible to participate in the EIP pursuant to the terms described herein. Additionally,
Officers who terminate employment because they retire, die, become disabled during 2010 (the plan year), or whose employment is involuntarily terminated during the plan year as a result of a reduction in force, elimination of position, or change in
strategic demand, are eligible to participate in the EIP pursuant to the terms described herein. Officers who voluntarily or involuntarily terminate employment for any other reason than those reasons described in the prior sentence during the plan
year or following the plan year but before awards are paid, forfeit participation in the EIP. 
 AWARD OPPORTUNITIES 
 Award opportunity percentages are set by the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors. Officers will receive individual communication regarding
their incentive target opportunity. 
 PLAN STRUCTURE 
 The EIP is designed to reward Officers for their contributions to Ameren’s success. This is acomplished by rewarding Officers for the achievement of EPS goals and their own personal contributions to
Ameren’s performance. The EIP has four primary components: (1) EPS targets; (2) a base award; (3) an individual performance modifier; and (4) an individual incentive payout. These components are described in more detail
below. 
 

 
 EPS Targets 
 Ameren Officers have a responsibility to drive shareholder value through earnings performance. Thus, EPS performance is the primary metric used to establish award opportunities. 

 Three levels of EPS achievement will be established to reward eligible Officers for results achieved in EPS
performance. Achievement of EPS falling between the established levels will be interpolated. The three levels are defined as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Threshold: Threshold is the minimum level of Ameren EPS achievement necessary for incentive funds to be available. This level of EPS must be
achieved to justify the payment based on our fiduciary responsibility to our owners— the shareholders. 

  

	 	2.	Target: This is the targeted level of Ameren EPS achievement. 

  

	 	3.	Maximum: This level shares higher rewards in years of outstanding financial performance. This level will be very difficult to achieve, but in years
of outstanding performance, Officers will share in Ameren’s success. 

 Base Award 
 Following the conclusion of the plan year, Ameren’s EPS will be measured . Achievement levels may be adjusted to include or exclude specified items of
an unusual or non-recurring nature as determined by the Committee at its sole discretion and as permitted by the Ameren Corporation 2006 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (“Plan”). Using these performance results, a formulaic base award
will be determined for each Officer. This base award will then be subject to modification based on the Officer’s individual performance as described below. 
 Individual Performance Modifier 
 The base award for each Officer may be adjusted up
by as much as 50% or down by as much as 50%, based on the Officer’s individual contributions and performance during the plan year. Demonstrated leadership and the achievement of key operational goals will be considered when modifying the base
award for each Officer. 
 Individual Incentive Payout 
 The individual incentive payout represents the actual incentive award an Officer will receive as a result of both Ameren’s performance and the Officer’s own individual performance. Subject to
the terms described herein, the maximum payout under the EIP is 200% of the Officer’s target incentive opportunity with the ability to pay zero for poor or non-performance. 
 EIP PAYOUT 
 Awards will be paid by March 15, 2011. The base award will be calculated
based on an eligible Officer’s salary as of December 31, 2010 (or at the time of eligible termination, if earlier). Awards will be prorated based on the amount of time worked during the plan year for eligible Officers who: (1) are
hired or become Officers after the plan year begins; (2) terminate employment on account of retirement, disability or death during the plan year; or (3) are involuntarily terminated during the plan year as a result of a reduction in force,
elimination of position, or change in strategic demand. 
 Where an eligible Officer’s employment is terminated during the plan year as a
result of a reduction in force, elimination of position, or change in strategic demand, the Officer’s prorated award will be paid by March 15, 2011, assuming the eligible Officer signed and returned the Company’s approved general
release and waiver (within 45 days of termination). In such

 
cases, the prorated award will be based on the Officer’s salary at the time of termination, the Officer’s target incentive award opportunity and actual year-end EPS performance.
