b. Limitation on Total Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses. The total of all Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses payable in connection with any Investment or any reinvestment shall be reasonable and shall not exceed an amount equal to four and one-half percent (4.5%) of the Contract Purchase Price of such Investment; provided, however, that the Advisor (i) will not be entitled to Acquisition Fees or reimbursement of Acquisition Expenses if there are insufficient Offering proceeds or capital proceeds to pay such expenses and (ii) such expenses not paid to the Advisor will not be accrued and paid in subsequent periods to the extent that there are not sufficient offering or capital proceeds to pay them; provided, further, however, that a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction may approve fees and expenses in excess of these limits if they determine the transaction to be commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company.

c. Disposition Fees. In connection with a Sale of an Investment 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 Disposition Fee of one percent (1.0%) of the Contract Sales Price of each Investment sold, including mortgage-backed securities or collateralized debt obligations issued by a subsidiary of the Company as part of a securitization transaction; provided, however, that such Disposition Fee shall be paid to an Affiliate of the Advisor that is registered as a FINRA member broker-dealer if applicable laws or regulations prohibit such payment to be made to a person that is not a FINRA member broker-dealer; provided, further, that in no event may the 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not pay a Disposition Fee upon the maturity, prepayment, workout, modification or extension of a Real Estate Related Loan unless there is a corresponding fee paid by the borrower, in which case the Disposition Fee will be the lesser of: (i) one percent (1.0%) of the principal amount of the Real Estate Related Loan prior to such transaction; or (ii) the amount of the fee paid by the borrower in connection with such transaction.

d. Asset Management Fee. The Company shall pay the Advisor or its Affiliates as compensation for services rendered in connection with the management of the Company’s Investments an annual Asset Management Fee equal to three-quarters percent (0.75%) of the Cost of Investments. Commencing on the NAV Pricing Date, the Asset Management Fee will be based on the lower of three-quarters percent (0.75%) of the Cost of Investments (as calculated in the preceding sentence) and three-quarters percent (0.75%) of the quarterly NAV. The Asset Management Fee will be payable monthly in arrears, based on Investments held by the Company during the measurement period, adjusted for appropriate closing dates for individual Investments. The Asset Management Fee will be reduced to the extent that NAREIT FFO, as adjusted, during the six (6) 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 declared with respect to such six (6) month period. For purposes of this determination, NAREIT FFO, as adjusted, is NAREIT FFO adjusted to (i) include Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses; (ii) include non-cash restricted stock grant amortization, if any; and (iii) impairments of Investments, if any.

e. Annual Subordinated Performance Fee. The Company may pay an Annual Subordinated Performance Fee to the Advisor calculated on the basis of the total return to Stockholders for any year in which the Company’s total return on Stockholders’ capital contributions exceeds six percent (6%) per annum. With respect to such year, the Advisor will be paid fifteen percent (15%) of the excess total return, not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate total return for such year. This fee will only be payable upon the Sale of Investments, Distributions or other event which results in the Company’s total return on Stockholders’ capital contributions exceeding six percent (6%) per annum. This fee will be calculated annually and will be payable monthly over 12 months following the year for which the fee is being paid.

f. Payment of Fees. In connection with the Acquisition Fee, Disposition Fee and Annual Subordinated Performance Fee, the Company shall pay such fees to the Advisor or its Affiliates in cash or 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, in cash, Shares or grants of restricted Shares, or any combination thereof. For the purposes of the payment of any fees in Shares, prior to the NAV Pricing Date, 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 the initial Offering. Commencing with the NAV Pricing Date, each Share shall be valued using per share NAV; provided, however, that in the case of Asset Management Fees payable in grants of restricted shares, each Share shall be valued in a manner consistent with the provisions of the equity incentive plan of the Company.

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 such internalization of management services.

11. EXPENSES.

a. In addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 11, the Company or the Operating Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor for all the expenses paid or actually 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 three-quarters percent (1.75%) of the Gross Proceeds raised in all Primary Offerings;

ii. Acquisition Expenses, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10(b);

iii. the actual cost of goods and services used by the Company and obtained from Persons not Affiliated with the Advisor;

iv. interest and other costs for Financings, including discounts, points and other similar fees; taxes and assessments on income of the Company or Investments;

v. costs associated with insurance required in connection with the business of the Company or by the Board;

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

vii. all expenses in connection with payments to the Directors for attending meetings of the Board and Stockholders;

viii. 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;

ix. expenses connected with payments of Distributions;

x. expenses of organizing, revising, amending, converting, modifying or terminating the Company, the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary thereof or the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or governing documents of the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary of the Company or the Operating Partnership;

xi. 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;

xii. administrative service expenses, including all costs and expenses incurred by 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 an Acquisition Fee or a Disposition Fee; and

xiii. audit, accounting and legal fees.

b. Commencing six (6) months after the initial release of Offering proceeds from escrow in the Company’s 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 Expense 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 within sixty (60) days of the end of the fiscal quarter, 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 (1)-year from the date hereof. Thereafter, the term may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-(1) year terms upon mutual consent of the parties.

17. TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES. This Agreement may be terminated upon sixty (60) days’ written notice (a) by the Independent Directors 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. The provisions of Sections 15 and 19 through 32 (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. After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the Operating Partnership within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such termination all amounts then accrued and owing to the Advisor, including all its interest in the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s income, losses, distributions and capital by payment of an amount equal to the then-present fair market value of the Advisor’s interest (as provided by the Operating Partnership Agreement), subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable.

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

i. pay over to the Company and the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the account of the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;

ii. deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board;

iii. deliver to the Board all assets, including all Investments, and documents of the Company and the Operating Partnership then in the custody of the Advisor; and

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

21. INCORPORATION OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT. To the extent that the Articles of Incorporation or the Operating Partnership Agreement 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.

22. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP.

a. The Company and the Operating Partnership 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 all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses 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 or liability suffered by such Indemnitee, nor shall they provide that an Indemnitee be held harmless for any loss or liability 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 liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Indemnitee; and

iv. such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of the Company’s net assets and not from the Stockholders.

b. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall not be indemnified by the Company and the Operating Partnership for any losses, liabilities or expenses 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. such claims have 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 claims 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 of a jurisdiction 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;

iii. the Indemnitee provides the Company or the Operating Partnership with a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification; and

iv. 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 found not to be entitled to indemnification.

23. INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISOR. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent that such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses 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.
