(f) ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS. As of the initial Effective Date, there are no actions, suits or proceedings against, or investigations of, the Company or its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the Operating Partnership), pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, before any court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other tribunal (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Shares or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Company of its obligations under or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or the Shares, (iv) that might result in a Company MAE, or (v) seeking to affect adversely the federal income tax attributes of the Shares except as described in the Prospectus.

(k) TAX RETURNS. The Company has filed all material federal, state and foreign income tax returns required to be filed by or on behalf of the Company on or before the due dates therefor (taking into account all extensions of time to file) and has paid or provided for the payment of all such material taxes indicated by such tax returns and all assessments received by the Company to the extent that such taxes or assessments have become due.

The Company has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. The Company’s current and proposed method of operation as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code.

(p) GOVERNMENT PERMITS. The Company and its subsidiaries possess such certificates, authorities or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by them, other than those which the failure to possess or own would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company MAE. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authority or permit which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Company MAE.

In the absence of such determination, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3(c), accept subscription agreements based upon a first-come, first accepted reservation or other similar method.

The Final Review Office shall, by the end of the next Business Day following its receipt of the subscription agreement and the check for the purchase of Primary Shares, forward both the subscription agreement and the check for the purchase of Primary Shares to the Escrow Agent. If any subscription agreement solicited by the Soliciting Dealer is rejected by a Dealer Manager or the Company, then the subscription agreement and the check for the purchase of Primary Shares will be returned to the rejected subscriber within ten (10) Business Days from the date of rejection.

(d) COMPLETED SALE. A sale of a Primary Share shall be deemed by the Company to be completed for purposes of Section 3(e) if and only if (i) the Company or an agent of the Company has received a properly completed and executed subscription agreement, together with payment of the full purchase price of each purchased Primary Share (which could be in the form of an irrevocable direction as set forth in Section 6(h)), from an investor in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) the Company has accepted such subscription, and (iii) such investor has been admitted as a shareholder of the Company.

The Dealer Managers may re-allow all or any portion of the selling commissions, subject to federal and state securities laws, to the Soliciting Dealer who sold the Primary Shares, as described more fully in the Soliciting Dealer Agreement.

(ii) Subject to the discounts under special circumstances described in or otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, Section 3(a) or this Section 3(e), as compensation for acting as the dealer managers, the Company will pay the Dealer Managers, a dealer manager fee (the “Dealer Manager Fee”) in the amount of two percent (2.0%) of the selling price of each Primary Share for which a sale is completed from the Primary Shares offered in the Offering. The Company will pay the Dealer Managers a Dealer Manager Fee in the amount of 0.985% of the selling price of each Primary Share sold pursuant to the Discounted Share Program for which a sale is completed.

(iii) Sales commissions payable to the Dealer Managers will be paid as follows: (a) on the fifteenth (15th) day after the investor subscribing for the Primary Shares is admitted as a shareholder of the Company, in an amount equal to 66 2/3% of the sales commissions payable with respect to such Primary Shares and (b) on the thirtieth (30th) day after the investor subscribing for the Primary Shares is admitted as a shareholder of the Company, in an amount equal to 33 1/3% of the sales commissions payable with respect to such Primary Shares; provided, however, if, on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) day after the closing of the Offering, Ladenburg purchases or contracts to purchase for the account of Ladenburg in the open market or otherwise any Primary Shares which were sold by a Dealer Manager or a Soliciting Dealer in respect of which a Dealer Manager or a Soliciting Dealer is entitled to a sales commission (a “Ladenburg Repurchase”), then, to the extent permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of FINRA, such Dealer Manager or Soliciting Dealer shall not be entitled to receive any sales commission with respect to the sale of such Primary Shares which became the subject of a Ladenburg Repurchase.

(iv) In no event shall the total aggregate compensation payable to the Dealer Managers and all Soliciting Dealers participating in the Offering, including, but not limited to, selling commissions and the Dealer Manager Fee, exceed eight percent (8.0%) of gross offering proceeds from the Offering in the aggregate.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company pays any selling commission to the Dealer Managers for sale by a Soliciting Dealer of one or more Primary Shares and the subscription is rescinded as to one or more of the Primary Shares covered by such subscription, then the Company shall decrease the next payment of selling commissions or other compensation otherwise payable to the Dealer Managers by the Company under this Agreement by an amount equal to the commission rate established in this Section 3(e), multiplied by the number of Primary Shares as to which the subscription is rescinded. If no payment of selling commissions or other compensation is due to the Dealer Managers after such withdrawal occurs, then the Dealer Managers shall pay the amount specified in the preceding sentence to the Company within a reasonable period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days following receipt of notice by the Dealer Managers from the Company stating the amount owed as a result of rescinded subscriptions.

(vi) In no event shall the Dealer Managers be entitled to payment of any compensation in connection with the Offering if the Offering is not completed according to this Agreement; provided, however, that the reimbursement of out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually incurred by the Dealer Managers or persons associated with the Dealer Managers shall not be presumed to be unfair or unreasonable and shall be payable under normal circumstances.

(f) REASONABLE BONA FIDE DUE DILIGENCE EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse the Dealer Managers or any Soliciting Dealer for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses incurred by the Dealer Managers or any Soliciting Dealer. The Company shall only reimburse the Dealer Managers or any Soliciting Dealer for such approved bona fide due diligence expenses to the extent such expenses have actually been incurred and are supported by detailed and itemized invoice(s) provided to the Company and permitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of FINRA.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as required by the Company’s Charter, the indemnification and agreement to hold harmless provided in this Section 9(b) is further limited to the extent that no such indemnification by the Company of a Soliciting Dealer or a Dealer Manager, or their respective Indemnified Parties, shall be permitted under this Agreement for, or arising out of, an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws, unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (a) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular Indemnified Party; (b) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular Indemnified Party; or (c) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the particular Indemnified Party and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

(c) DEALER MANAGERS, INDEMNIFICATION OF THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The Dealer Managers will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership, each of their Indemnified Parties and each Person who has signed the Registration Statement, from and against any losses, claims, expenses (including the reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in investigating and defending any such claims or liabilities), damages or liabilities to which any of the aforesaid parties may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in a representation or warranty contained herein by the Dealer Managers or any material breach of a covenant contained herein by the Dealer Managers; (ii) any untrue statement or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, (B) in any Approved Sales Literature, or (C) any Blue Sky Application; (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof to make the statements therein not misleading, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that in each case described in clauses (ii) and (iii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Dealer Managers expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendments thereof or the Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (iv) any use of sales literature, including “broker-dealer use only” materials, by the Dealer Managers that is not Approved Sales Literature; or (v) any untrue statement made by the Dealer Managers or omission by the Dealer Managers to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the Offering, in each case, other than statements or omissions made in conformity with the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Approved Sales Literature or any other materials or information furnished by or on behalf of the Company. The Dealer Managers will reimburse the aforesaid parties for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigation or defense of such loss, claim, expense, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Dealer Managers may otherwise have.

(d) SOLICITING DEALER INDEMNIFICATION OF THE COMPANY. By virtue of entering into the Soliciting Dealer Agreement, each Soliciting Dealer severally will agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Managers, each of their respective Indemnified Parties, and each Person who signs the Registration Statement, from and against any losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Company, the Dealer Managers, or any of their respective Indemnified Parties, or any Person who signed the Registration Statement, may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, as more fully described in the Soliciting Dealer Agreement.

(e) ACTION AGAINST PARTIES; NOTIFICATION. Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9, promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the Indemnified Party for reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of, and unconditional release of all liabilities from, the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(f) REIMBURSEMENT OF FEES AND EXPENSES. An indemnifying party under Section 9 of this Agreement shall be obligated to reimburse an Indemnified Party for reasonable legal and other expenses as follows:

(i) In the case of the Company indemnifying a Dealer Manager, the advancement of Company funds to the Dealer Manager for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought shall be permissible only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (A) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company; (B) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a shareholder of the Company or the legal action is initiated by a shareholder of the Company acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and (C) such Dealer Manager undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Dealer Manager is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

(ii) In any case of indemnification other than that described in Section 9(f)(i) above, the indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one Indemnified Party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one Indemnified Party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm (in addition to local counsel) that has been participating by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and if a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an Indemnified Party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.

10. CONTRIBUTION.

(a) If the indemnification provided for in Section 9 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, each Dealer Manager and each Soliciting Dealer, respectively, from the proceeds received in the Offering pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Soliciting Dealer Agreement, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, each Dealer Manager and each Soliciting Dealer, respectively, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b) The relative benefits received by the Company, each Dealer Manager and each Soliciting Dealer, respectively, in connection with the proceeds received in the Offering pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Soliciting Dealer Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Soliciting Dealer Agreement (before deducting expenses), received by the Company, and the total selling commissions and dealer manager fees received by such Dealer Manager and such Soliciting Dealer, respectively, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate offering price of the Shares sold in the Offering as set forth on such cover.

(c) The relative fault of the Company, each Dealer Manager and each Soliciting Dealer, respectively, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Company, by such Dealer Manager or by the Soliciting Dealer, respectively, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(d) The Company, the Dealer Managers and the Soliciting Dealer (by virtue of entering into the Soliciting Dealer Agreement) agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable contributions referred to above in this Section 10. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party and referred to above in this Section 10 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Dealer Manager nor Soliciting Dealer shall be required to contribute any amount by which the total price at which the Primary Shares sold in the Offering to the public by it exceeds the amount of any damages which such Dealer Manager and such Soliciting Dealer have otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(f) No party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(g) For the purposes of this Section 10, a Dealer Manager’s officers, directors, employees, members, partners, agents and representatives, and each Person, if any, who controls a Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution of such Dealer Manager, and the officers, directors, employees, members, partners, agents and representatives of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution of the Company. Each Soliciting Dealer’s respective obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 is several in proportion to the number of Shares sold by such Soliciting Dealer in the Offering and is not joint with any other party.

Re: American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. — Initial Public Offering of Common Stock

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the Dealer Manager Agreement (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”) among American Realty Capital Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Realty Capital Securities, LLC (“RCS”) and Ladenburg Xxxxxxxx & Co. Inc. (“Ladenburg” and together with RCS, the “Dealer Managers”), relating to the offering of shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company pursuant to a registration statement (File No. 333-172205) on Form S-11 (the “Offering”).

In order to induce you and the Company to sell shares of Common Stock at a discount, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with the Dealer Managers that, during the period beginning on and including the date of the closing of the Offering through and including the date that is the 180th day after the date of the closing of the Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of, or announce the intention to otherwise dispose of, any Common Stock (including, without limitation, Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (such shares, the “Beneficially Owned Shares”)) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock; (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Beneficially Owned Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or (iii) engage in any short selling of the Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

The restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply to any transfers made by the undersigned (i) as a bona fide gift to any member of the immediate family (as defined below) of the undersigned or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned or members of the undersigned’s immediate family, (ii) by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned, or (iii) as a bona fide gift to a charity or educational institution; provided, however, that in the case of any transfer described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that (A) the transferee executes and delivers to the Dealer Managers, not later than one business day prior to such transfer, a written agreement, in substantially the form of this agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the undersigned and not to the immediate family of the transferee) and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to the Dealer Managers, and (B) if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that such transfer is being made as a gift or by will or intestate succession. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother or sister of the undersigned; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

Any Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares acquired by the undersigned in the open market after the date of this Agreement will not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this agreement. After the date of this agreement, the undersigned may at any time enter into a written plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act relating to the sale of Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares, if then permitted by the Company, provided, however, that the shares subject to such plan shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this agreement.

In order to enable this covenant to be enforced, the undersigned hereby consents to the placing of legends or stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent with respect to any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

The undersigned further agrees that (i) it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand or request for or exercise any right with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of any Common Stock or other Beneficially Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other Beneficially Owned Shares, and (ii) the Company may, with respect to any Common Stock or other Beneficially Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other Beneficially Owned Shares owned or held (of record or beneficially) by the undersigned, cause the transfer agent or other registrar to enter stop transfer instructions and implement stop transfer procedures with respect to such securities during the Lock-Up Period.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this agreement and that this agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the undersigned and is a valid and binding agreement of the undersigned. This agreement and all authority herein conferred are irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and shall be binding upon the undersigned and upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
