Relationship of Sub-advisor and Advisor and their Affiliates;
Other Activities of the Advisor and Sub-advisor

8.1 Relationship . The Advisor and the Sub-advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers. Except as set forth in Section 8.4, nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or Sub-advisor from engaging in or earning fees from other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or Sub-advisor, respectively, or any of their Affiliates. Nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any manager, director, officer, member, partner, employee or equityholder of the Advisor or Sub-advisor or their Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person. The Sub-advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein, and earn fees for rendering such advice and service. Specifically, it is contemplated that the Company may enter into Joint Ventures or other similar co-investment arrangements with certain Persons, and pursuant to the agreements governing such Joint Ventures or other similar co-investment arrangements, the Advisor or the Sub-advisor may be engaged to provide advice and service to such Persons, in which case, the Advisor or the Sub-advisor, as applicable, will earn fees for rendering such advice and service. Each of the Advisor and the Sub-advisor shall promptly disclose to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, that creates or which would reasonably result in a conflict of interest between its obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other Persons (it being understood and agreed that the conditions and circumstances referred to in the second paragraph of Section 8.4(A) are deemed to have been disclosed to the Board for purposes of this Section 8.1).

8.2 Time Commitment . The Sub-advisor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the Company such

time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party and its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in activities unrelated to the Company and may provide services to Persons other than the Company or any of its Affiliates.

8.3 Advisor and Sub-advisor Meetings. The Parties shall meet on a regular basis (frequency to be determined) to discuss and consult with one another regarding the Company and its assets and opportunities. Advisor and Sub-advisor shall cause their respective principals to meet (in person or by phone) with representatives of each other upon the request of either Party. The Parties will provide each other information regarding the operations and acquisitions of the Company as reasonably requested by the other. Each of Advisor and Sub-advisor shall have direct access to the books and records of the Company and of each attorney, accountant, servicer and other contracting party of the Company (except to the extent such attorney represents either Party with respect to this Agreement).

8.4 Investment Opportunities and Allocation .

(A) The Sub-advisor shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company. So long as the Advisor is acting in its capacity as advisor under the Advisory Agreement, each of the Advisor and the Sub-advisor will not (and will cause its Affiliates to not) (i) pursue any opportunity to acquire any Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment that fits within the Company’s strategy, or (ii) offer such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment to a third party, in each case unless and until such opportunity is first presented to the Company. The Company shall have 30 days from the date of its receipt of a complete written offering package relating to such opportunity, customary in scope and content, to notify the Advisor or the Sub-advisor, as the case may be, of the Company’s decision as to whether or not to pursue such opportunity. If the Company fails so to notify the Advisor or the Sub-advisor, as the case may be, within such 30-day period, the Company shall be deemed to have passed on such opportunity. If the Company passes on such opportunity, then the Advisor, Sub-advisor or such Affiliate, as the case may be, may acquire the subject investment or offer the subject investment to a third party for a period of 180 days, in each case on terms and conditions (including price) that are not materially different from the terms and conditions set forth in the offering package to the Company. If at the expiration of such 180-day period, such opportunity remains available, then the provisions of this Section 8.4(A) shall once again apply to such opportunity.

Notwithstanding the preceding, however, the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be permitted to pursue any opportunity or to offer any

opportunity to a third party in respect of (1) any net leased retail, office and industrial properties or other property consistent with the investment policies of American Reality Capital Trust, Inc., (2) any commercial real estate or other real estate investments that relate to office, retail, multi-family residential, industrial and hotel property types, located primarily in the New York metropolitan area or other property consistent with the investment policies of American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, Inc., or (3) any investments to be made by a contemplated non-traded REIT (the “Identified REIT”) that the Advisor or any of its Affiliates has described as (a) intending to invest primarily in “power center” real estate developments, (b) being sponsored or co-sponsored by ARC (or one of its Affiliates), the acquisition services for which will be provided by an international commercial and residential real estate developer and manager (or one of its Affiliates), and (c) being the subject of an executed letter of intent or term sheet between the Advisor (or one of its Affiliates) and such international commercial and residential real estate developer and manager (or one of its Affiliates), and which has or will have as its publicly disclosed (and not subsequently revised or required to be revised under applicable securities laws) investment objectives to have less than 20% of its assets (measured by purchase price) in anchored shopping centers with purchase prices of less than $20,000,000 per property (determined once the proceeds of the offering have been fully invested).

(B) If Fund IV, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Shopping Center Fund III, L.P., Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Strategic Investment Fund or Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Limited Partnership presents an investment opportunity to the Company and discloses in writing that such entity is attempting to seek properties to qualify for tax deferred treatment under Section 1031 of the Code, then if the Company does not respond within 21 days, the Company shall be deemed to have passed on such investment opportunity. For clarification, developing single tenant retail or commercial properties shall not be considered to fit within the Company’s strategy.

(C) Notwithstanding the preceding, the restrictions in clauses (A) and (B) will cease to be effective upon termination of the Offering Period or, if later, the time when all equity raised during the Offering Period has been substantially invested or committed to investment.

(D) Except as provided in this Section 8.4, none of the Advisor and the Sub-advisor nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company.

8.5 Prospectus Guidance. Sub-advisor has read and will abide by the Prospectus with respect to the Company’s investment objectives, targeted assets and investment restrictions, targeted markets, leverage, distribution policy, and investor profile except to the extent directed by the Board.

(A) On or prior to the date hereof, the Advisor has prepared an initial Organization and Offering Expense budget for the Advisor and its Affiliates (including Realty Capital Services, LLC in its capacity as Dealer Manager) for the period ending on the Effective Date, a copy of which is attached as Schedule I hereto (the “Initial O&O Budget”) and the Sub-advisor has reviewed and approved the Initial O&O Budget. On or before the Effective Date, the Advisor or its Affiliates will prepare and present to the Sub-advisor for its review and approval the proposed Organization and Offering Expense budget for the one-year period following the Effective Date for the Advisor and its Affiliates (including Realty Capital Services, LLC in its capacity as Dealer Manager). Thereafter, on or before the 30th day preceding the annual anniversary of the Effective Date, the Advisor or its Affiliates will prepare and present to the Sub-advisor for its review and approval the proposed Organization and Offering Expense budget for the following one-year period for the Advisor and its Affiliates (including Realty Capital Services, LLC in its capacity as Dealer Manager). Each of (1) the Initial O&O Budget, and (2) each such other Organization and Offering Expense budget for the time period specified therein once approved by the Sub-advisor, shall be referred to herein as an “Approved O&O Budget”. It is understood and agreed that neither the Initial O&O Budget nor any other Approved O&O Budget shall cover or refer to selling commissions or the Dealer Manager Fee payable pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement.

(B) Each Approved O&O Budget may contain contingencies for expenditure items anticipated in good faith by the Advisor and its Affiliates, but the precise amounts of which are unknown at the time of preparation and submission thereof to the Sub-advisor for approval. Within 30 days after each proposed Organization and Offering Expense budget is submitted to it, the Sub-advisor shall notify the Advisor in writing (1) that it approves the proposed budget or (2) of the revisions it reasonably believes should be made to such proposed budget. If the Sub-advisor fails to respond within such 30-day period, the Sub-advisor shall be deemed to have approved the proposed budget and such proposed budget shall become the Approved O&O Budget for the time periods specified therein. If the Sub-advisor withholds its approval of any proposed budget, then the Parties shall negotiate a mutually acceptable Organization and Offering Expense budget for the Advisor and its Affiliates (including Realty Capital Services, LLC in its capacity as Dealer Manager). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.1(B) shall not apply to the Initial O&O Budget.

(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other agreement, the Advisor shall ensure that it and its Affiliates shall not make any expenditure of Company funds or of funds for which reimbursement is sought from the Company or Sub-advisor, or commit to make any such expenditure, except as provided for in an Approved O&O Budget; provided, however, with respect to any line item in an Approved O&O Budget, the Advisor and its Affiliates may incur up to 115% of the amount budgeted therefor; provided further, however, with respect to any line item in an Approved O&O Budget, the Advisor and its Affiliates may incur in excess of 115% of the amount budgeted therefor with the approval of the Sub-advisor.

(D) The Advisor and Sub-advisor have caused their Affiliates to fund $75,000 and $425,000, respectively, into their respective bank accounts, and Advisor and Sub-advisor will bear the initial $500,000 of Organization and Offering Expenses (excluding underwriting and brokerage discounts and commissions) in the ratio of 15% to 85%, respectively. After such initial $500,000 of Organization and Offering Expenses have been borne as aforesaid, Sub-advisor will fund 100% of all Organization and Offering Expenses (excluding underwriting and brokerage discounts and commissions, but including third-party due diligence fees set forth in detailed and itemized invoices).

11.2 Property Level Agreements. The Parties agree to use their best efforts to cause the Company, subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, to enter into a Master Property Management, Leasing, and Construction Management Agreement with an Affiliate of the Sub-advisor consistent with the description of the same in the Prospectus. Advisor shall have the right to review and comment upon such master agreement, and to approve such master agreement (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), prior to submission to the Board.

Advisor agrees that it shall have no right in the fees generated pursuant to such master agreement.

11.3 Advisor, Advisory Agreement and Dealings with Company.

(A) Advisor agrees to inform and make Sub-advisor a party to all negotiations between Advisor and the Company regarding any proposed amendment of the Advisory Agreement. No amendment to the Advisory Agreement will be agreed upon or permitted if such amendment would impact the rights or obligations of the Sub-advisor without the Sub-advisor’s consent and signature.

(B) Advisor agrees to allow Sub-advisor to present and recommend to the Company all investment opportunities recommended by Sub-advisor.

11.4 Initial Capital Contribution. Sub-advisor acknowledges that it contributed an amount equal to $200,000 to the capital of the Company on December 3, 2009. Sub-advisor agrees to purchase or to cause an Affiliate to purchase, on a monthly basis, sufficient Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering during each month following the Reference Date such that the total Shares owned by Sub-advisor and its Affiliates is at least equal to 0.1% of the Shares outstanding at the end of the immediately preceding month (ignoring for purposes of calculating the outstanding number of Shares at the end of a month any Shares issued after the Reference Date but outside of the Initial Public Offering, such as Shares issued pursuant to an executive compensation plan or upon exchange of Partnership securities). The Shares to be purchased pursuant to this obligation shall be at a purchase price of $9.00 per Share.

Article 12

Certain Transfers

12.1 Transfers. The Parties have selected one another based on the experience and personnel of each other and their Affiliates. Accordingly, each Party agrees that it is mutually desirable to restrict changes in ownership of each Party. Each Party agrees to amend, to the extent necessary, its governing documents to restrict transferability of any direct or indirect interest in such Party by such Party’s Key Persons unless both Parties jointly agree as otherwise permitted by this Article 12; provided, however, that any transfer of an interest in either Party by any of such Party’s Key Persons, by any entity controlled by a Key Person of such Party or by any Immediate Family Member of a Key Person of such Party shall be permitted without any approval so long as (i) the transferee of such interest is an Immediate Family Member of a Key Person of such Party, and (ii) one or more of the Key Persons of such Party retain management and voting control over such interest held by such transferee at all times after the applicable transfer occurs.

12.2 Prohibited Transfers.

(A) Except for Permitted Transfers and other transfers made in accordance with, and as permitted by, this Agreement, neither Party (1) will allow any direct or indirect transfer of interests therein by its applicable Key Persons, and (2) will directly or indirectly transfer any part of its direct or indirect ownership interest in the Company (if any), whether in each such case voluntarily or by foreclosure, assignment in lieu thereof or other enforcement of a pledge, hypothecation or collateral assignment without the prior approval of the other Party.

(B) “Permitted Transfer” (for which no approval by the other Party shall be required) means either of the following:

(1) any transfer of all or any portion of the direct or indirect interest in the Company held by a Party (if any) to any Affiliate of such Party; provided, however, that in each such case the transferee executes an instrument agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement to the extent applicable to the transferor; and

(2) any transfer of all or any portion of the direct or indirect interest in a Party held, directly or indirectly, by such Party’s Key Persons or Immediate Family Members; provided, however, that either (a) either or both of such Party’s Key Persons remain involved with the material decision-making and actions of such Party for the applicable Transfer Restriction Period (for the sake of clarity, after the applicable Transfer Restriction Period, each Party is permitted to allow the effecting of a transfer of all or any portion of the direct or indirect interest in such Party without regard to the continued involvement of such Party’s Key Persons) or (b) in the case of the Advisor, the transfer occurs after the Offering Period and the applicable transferee agrees to cede any decision-making and governance authority relating to the Company (including making Major Decisions) to the Sub-advisor.
