In connection with a Sale of a Real Estate Asset in which the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services, as determined by the Independent Directors, the Company shall pay to the Advisor or its assignees a Property Disposition Fee equal to the lesser of (i) two percent (2.0%) of the Contract Sales Price of such Real Estate Asset and (ii) one-half of the total brokerage commission paid if a brokerage commission or other disposition fee is paid to a non-Affiliate broker in addition to the Property Disposition Fee paid to the Advisor or its assignees; provided, however, that in no event may the Property Disposition Fee paid to the Advisor, its Affiliates and non-Affiliates exceed the lesser of six percent (6.0%) of the Contract Sales Price and a Competitive Real Estate Commission.

(d) Asset Management Fee. The Company shall pay an Asset Management Fee to the Advisor or its assignees as compensation for services rendered in connection with the management of the Company’s assets up to and including September 30, 2012 in an amount equal to 0.75% per annum of Average Invested Assets; provided, however, that the Asset Management Fee shall be reduced by any amounts payable as an Oversight Fee (as defined in the Management Agreement), such that the aggregate of the Asset Management Fee and the Oversight Fee does not exceed 0.75% per annum of Average Invested Assets. The Asset Management Fee is payable on the first business day of each month for the respective current month in the amount of 0.0625% of Average Invested Assets as of such date. The Asset Management Fee will be reduced to the extent that NAREIT FFO, as adjusted, during the six months ending on the last day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date that such Asset Management Fee is payable, is less than the Distributions paid with respect to such six month period. For purposes of this determination, NAREIT FFO, as adjusted, is NAREIT FFO adjusted to (i) include acquisition fees and related expenses which is deducted in computing NAREIT FFO; and (ii) include non-cash restricted stock grant amortization, if any, which is deducted in computing NAREIT FFO.

(e) Financing Coordination Fee. The Company shall pay a Financing Coordination Fee to the Advisor or its assignees in connection with the financing of any Investment, assumption of any Loans with respect to any Investment or refinancing of any Loan in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the amount made available and/or outstanding under any such Loan, including any assumed Loan. The Advisor may reallow some of or all this Financing Coordination Fee to reimburse third parties with whom it may subcontract to procure any such Loan.

(f) Payment of Fees. In connection with the Acquisition Fee, Property Disposition Fee and Financing Coordination Fee, the Company shall pay such fees to the Advisor or its assignees in cash, in Shares, or a combination of both, the form of payment to be determined in the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Asset Management Fee shall be payable, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, up to and including September 30, 2012, in cash, Shares or grants of restricted Shares, or any combination thereof. For the purposes of the payment of any fees in Shares, (i) if at the applicable time an Offering is underway, each Share shall be valued at the per-share offering price of the Shares in such Offering minus the maximum Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fee allowed in such Offering; and (ii) at all other times, each Share shall be valued by the Board in good faith (A) at the estimated value thereof, calculated in accordance with the provisions of NASD Rule 2340(c)(1) (or any successor or similar FINRA rule), or (B) if no such rule shall then exist, at the fair market value thereof; provided, however, that in the case of Asset Management Fees payable in grants of restricted Shares, each Share shall be valued in accordance with the provisions of the equity incentive plan of the Company pursuant to which such grants are to be made.

(g) Exclusion of Certain Transactions.

(i) If the Company or the Operating Partnership shall propose to enter into any transaction in which the Advisor, any Affiliate of the Advisor or any of the Advisor’s directors or officers has a direct or indirect interest, then such transaction shall be approved by a majority of the Board not otherwise interested in such transaction, including a majority of the Independent Directors.

(ii) If the Board elects to internalize any management services provided by the Advisor, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership shall pay any compensation or other remuneration to the Advisor or its Affiliates in connection with the internalization transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, any compensation paid or payable by the Company to employees of the Company in connection with their employment by the Company (which employees were formerly employed by the Advisor or any of their Affiliates) shall not be deemed to be compensation or other remuneration in connection with any internalization transaction for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence. This provision shall not limit any other consideration or distributions that the Company may pay the Advisor in accordance with this Agreement or any other agreement. This provision shall in no way obligate the Advisor to facilitate an internalization transaction with the Advisor or any of its Affiliates.

(h) Subordinated Participation Interests. The Company shall cause the Operating Partnership to periodically issue Subordinated Participation Interests in the Operating Partnership to the Advisor or its assignees, pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Operating Partnership Agreement, in connection with the Advisor’s (or its assignees’) management of the Operating Partnership’s assets commencing on October 1, 2012.

11. EXPENSES.

(a) In addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 10, the Company or the Operating Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor for all the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in connection with the services it provides to the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, including, the following:

(i) Organization and Offering Expenses, including third-party due diligence fees related to the Primary Offering, as set forth in detailed and itemized invoices; provided, however, that the Company shall not reimburse the Advisor to the extent such reimbursement would cause the total amount of Organization and Offering Expenses paid by the Company and the Operating Partnership to exceed one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Gross Proceeds raised in all Primary Offerings;

(ii) Acquisition Expenses subject to the limitation set forth in Section 10(b) ;

(iii) the actual cost of goods and services used by the Company and obtained from entities not Affiliated with the Advisor;

(iv) interest and other costs for Loans, including discounts, points and other similar fees;

(v) taxes and assessments on income of the Company or Investments;

(vi) costs associated with insurance required in connection with the business of the Company or by the Board;

(vii) expenses of managing and operating Investments owned by the Company, whether payable to an Affiliate of the Company or a non-affiliated Person;

(viii) all expenses in connection with payments to the Directors for attending meetings of the Board and Stockholders;

(ix) expenses associated with a Listing, if applicable, or with the issuance and distribution of Shares, such as selling commissions and fees, advertising expenses, taxes, legal and accounting fees, listing and registration fees;

(x) expenses connected with payments of Distributions;

(xi) expenses of organizing, revising, amending, converting, modifying or terminating the Company, the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary thereof or the Articles of Incorporation, By-laws or governing documents of the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary of the Company or the Operating Partnership;

(xii) expenses of maintaining communications with Stockholders, including the cost of preparation, printing, and mailing annual reports and other Stockholder reports, proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities;

(xiii) administrative service expenses, including all costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in fulfilling its duties hereunder, including reasonable salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all employees directly involved in the performance of such services; provided , however , that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of such employees of the Advisor or its Affiliates to the extent that such employees perform services for which the Advisor receives a separate fee; and

(xiv) audit, accounting and legal fees.

(b) Commencing upon the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth fiscal quarter after the Company makes its first Investment and (ii) six (6) months after the commencement of the initial Offering, expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and the Operating Partnership or in connection with the services provided by the Advisor hereunder and payable pursuant to this Section 11 shall be reimbursed, no less than monthly, to the Advisor.

12. OTHER SERVICES. Should the Board request that the Advisor or any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company and the Operating Partnership other than set forth in Section 3 , such services shall be separately compensated at such customary rates and in such customary amounts as are agreed upon by the Advisor and the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

13. REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ADVISOR. The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Total Operating Expenses incurred by the Advisor for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of two percent (2%) of Average Invested Assets or twenty-five percent (25%) of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year. Any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company or, at the option of the Company, subtracted from the Total Operating Expenses reimbursed during the subsequent fiscal quarter. If there is an Excess Amount in any Expense Year and the Independent Directors determine that such excess was justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, then the Excess Amount may be carried over and included in Total Operating Expenses in subsequent Expense Years and reimbursed to the Advisor in one or more of such years, provided that there shall be sent to the Stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified. Such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.

14. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR. Except as set forth in this Section 14 , nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or any of its Affiliates from engaging in or earning fees from other activities, including the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Sponsor or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, member, partner, employee or stockholder of the Advisor or any of its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person and earn fees for rendering such services; provided, however , that the Advisor must devote sufficient resources to the Company’s business to discharge its obligations to the Company under this Agreement. The 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 arrangements, the Advisor may be engaged to provide advice and service to such Persons, in which case the Advisor will earn fees for rendering such advice and service.

The Advisor shall report to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person. If the Advisor, Director or Affiliates thereof have sponsored other investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as the Company, the Advisor shall inform the Board of the method to be applied by the Advisor in allocating investment opportunities among the Company and competing investment entities and shall provide regular updates to the Board of the investment opportunities provided by the Advisor to competing programs in order for the Board (including the Independent Directors) to fulfill its duty to ensure that the Advisor and its Affiliates use their reasonable best efforts to apply such method fairly to the Company.

15. THE AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL NAME. The Advisor and its Affiliates have or may have a proprietary interest in the names “American Realty Capital,” “ARC” and “AR Capital.” The Advisor hereby grants to the Company, to the extent of any proprietary interest the Advisor may have in any of the names “American Realty Capital,” “ARC” and “AR Capital,” a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the names “American Realty Capital,” “ARC” and “AR Capital” during the term of this Agreement. The Company agrees that the Advisor and its Affiliates will have the right to approve of any use by the Company of the names “American Realty Capital,” “ARC” and “AR Capital,” such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain the Advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform advisory services for the Company, the Company will, promptly after receipt of written request from the Advisor, cease to conduct business under or use the names “American Realty Capital,” “ARC” and “AR Capital” or any derivative thereof and the Company shall change its name and the names of any of its subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the names “American Realty Capital,” “ARC” and “AR Capital” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any its Affiliates. At such time, the Company will also make any changes to any trademarks, servicemarks or other marks necessary to remove any references to the words “American Realty Capital,” “ARC” and “AR Capital.” Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having any of the names “American Realty Capital,” “ARC” and “AR Capital” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company. Neither the Advisor nor any of its Affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the names “American Realty Capital,” “ARC” and “AR Capital” licensed hereunder or the use thereof (including without limitation as to whether the use of the names “American Realty Capital,” “ARC” and “AR Capital” will be free from infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Advisor represents and warrants that it is not aware of any pending claims or litigation or of any claims threatened in writing regarding the use or ownership of the names “American Realty Capital,” “ARC” and “AR Capital.”

16. TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in force for a period of one year from the date hereof. Thereafter, the term may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms upon mutual consent of the parties.

17. TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES. This Agreement may be terminated upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice (a) by the Independent Directors of the Company or the Advisor, without Cause and without penalty, (b) by the Advisor for Good Reason, or (c) by the Advisor upon a Change of Control; provided, that termination of this Agreement with Cause shall be upon forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice. The provisions of Sections 15 and 19 through 31 (inclusive) of this Agreement shall survive any expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

18. ASSIGNMENT TO AN AFFILIATE. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate with the approval of a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement to any Person without obtaining the approval of the Directors. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company or the Operating Partnership without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company or the Operating Partnership to a Person which is a successor to all the assets, rights and obligations of the Company or the Operating Partnership, in which case such successor Person shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company or the Operating Partnership, as applicable, is bound by this Agreement.

19. PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF ADVISOR UPON TERMINATION.

(a) Amounts Owed .

(b) Advisor’s Duties. The Advisor shall promptly upon termination of this Agreement:

(iv) cooperate with the Company and the Operating Partnership to provide an orderly management transition.

20. INCORPORATION OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT. To the extent that the Articles of Incorporation or the Operating Partnership Agreement as in effect on the date hereof impose obligations or restrictions on the Advisor or grant the Advisor certain rights which are not set forth in this Agreement, the Advisor shall abide by such obligations or restrictions and such rights shall inure to the benefit of the Advisor with the same force and effect as if they were set forth herein.

21. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP.

(a) The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, as well as their respective officers, directors, equity holders, members, partners, stockholders, other equity holders and employees (collectively, the “ Indemnitees ,” and each, an “ Indemnitee ”), from and against all losses, claims, damages, losses, joint or several, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts (collectively, “Losses”) arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such Losses are not fully reimbursed by insurance, and to the extent that such indemnification would not be inconsistent with the laws of the State of New York, the Articles of Incorporation or the provisions of Section II.G of the NASAA REIT Guidelines. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall not provide for indemnification of an Indemnitee for any Loss suffered by such Indemnitee, nor shall they provide that an Indemnitee be held harmless for any Loss suffered by the Company and the Operating Partnership, unless all the following conditions are met:

(i) the Indemnitee has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interest of the Company and the Operating Partnership;

(ii) the Indemnitee was acting on behalf of, or performing services for, the Company or the Operating Partnership;

(iii) such Loss was not the result of negligence or willful misconduct by the Indemnitee; and

(iv) such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is not recoverable from the Stockholders.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall not be indemnified by the Company and the Operating Partnership for any Losses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such Indemnitee unless one or more of the following conditions are met:

(i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the Indemnitee;

(ii) the related claim has been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the Indemnitee; or

(iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the related claim against the Indemnitee 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 Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company or the Operating Partnership were offered or sold as to indemnification for violation of securities laws.

(c) In addition, the advancement of the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s funds to an Indemnitee for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought is permissible only if all the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership;

(ii) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder or the legal action is initiated by a Stockholder acting in such Stockholder’s capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and

(iii) the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company or the Operating Partnership, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Indemnitee is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court if competent jurisdiction.

22. INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISOR. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership from Losses, to the extent that such Losses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Advisor’s bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties; provided, however, that the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Advisor.
