This form is to be used only by Participants in the First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (“FR”) Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) who are requesting authorization from FR to make an optional cash investment under the Plan in excess of the $10,000 monthly maximum. Any capitalized terms that are not defined in this form shall have the meanings given to them in the prospectus related to the Plan (the “Prospectus”).

A new form must be completed each month that the Participant wishes to make an optional cash investment in excess of the $10,000 monthly maximum. This form will not be accepted by FR unless it is completed in its entirety.

The Participant submitting this form hereby certifies that (a) the information contained herein is true and correct as of the date set forth under “Today’s Date” below, and (b) the Participant has received and reviewed a current copy of the Prospectus.

FR will contact any investor whose Request for Waiver is being considered. If approved, FR will provide you with funds transfer instructions to Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”) and FR will submit a copy of the signed Request for Waiver to Computershare.

If we accept your Request for Waiver, you will acquire the maximum number of shares that may be purchased on each Waiver Investment Date of the ten trading day Waiver Investment Period with one-tenth of your payment. The price of the shares purchased in connection with a Request for Waiver will be based on the Trading Price of FR’s common stock on each Waiver Investment Date, less any applicable waiver discount (see the answer to Question 20 in the Prospectus for more information).
