Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (iii) violate any law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental
body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company, its Shares or its other securities, (iv) require the Advisor to register as
a broker-dealer with the SEC or any state, or (v) violate the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.  In the event
an action that would violate (i) through (v) of the preceding sentence but such action has been ordered by the Board, the Advisor
shall notify the Board of the Advisor’s judgment of the potential impact of such action and shall refrain from taking such
action until it receives further clarification or instructions from the Board.  In such event, the Advisor shall have
no liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board so given.


  


Article 8


Fees


 


8.1Acquisition Fees.


 


		(A)	Subject to Section 8.1(B), the Company shall pay an Acquisition Fee to the Advisor or its Affiliates as compensation for services
rendered in connection with the investigation, selection and acquisition (by purchase, investment or exchange) of Investments.  The
total Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor shall equal one percent (1.0%) of the Contract Purchase Price of the Investment.  The
amount actually paid or allocated for an Investment held through a Joint Venture shall equal the sum of (x) the product of (i)
the amount actually paid or allocated to fund, or the amount advanced for, the acquisition, origination, development, construction
or improvement of the Investment, as applicable, by the Joint Venture and (ii) the direct or indirect ownership percentage of the
Joint Venture held directly or indirectly by the Company or the Partnership and (y) any expense of the Company associated with
such Investment.  For purposes of this section, “ownership percentage” shall be the percentage of capital
stock, membership interests, partnership interests or other equity interests held by the Company or the Partnership, without regard
to classification of such equity interests.  The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company, accompanied by a computation
of the Acquisition Fee at or prior to the closing of the acquisition.  The Company shall pay to the Advisor the Acquisition
Fee at the closing of the Investment and shall cover services rendered by the Advisor or its Affiliates until such time as a letter
of intent to purchase such Investment has been submitted to the seller by the Advisor and the Advisor has presented a detailed
investment memorandum to the Board of Directors for approval.  In addition, if during the period ending two years after
the close of the initial Offering, the Company sells an Investment and then reinvests in other Investments, the Company will pay
to the Advisor or its Affiliates one percent (1.0%) of the Contract Purchase Price of the Investments.

		(i)	The total of all Acquisition Fees, Financing Coordination Fees and Acquisition Expenses payable in connection with the Company’s
total portfolio of Investments and reinvestments, if any, shall be reasonable and shall not exceed an amount equal to four
and one half percent (4.5%) of the Contract Purchase Price of the Company’s total portfolio of Investments or four and one
half percent (4.5%) of the amount advanced for Company’s total portfolio of Investments; provided, however,
that once all the proceeds from the initial Offering have been fully invested, the total of all Acquisition Fees and
Financing Coordination Fees shall not exceed one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Contract Purchase Price of all the Investments
acquired.



 


		(ii)	In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, the total of all Acquisition Fees, Financing Coordination 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 the Investment or four and one-half percent
(4.5%) of the amount advanced for any Investment; 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.

		8.2	Asset Management Fee.  For any periods ended on or prior to September 30, 2013
and any period commenced on or after April 1, 2015, and in lieu of any Subordinated Participation Interests, 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 in an amount equal to 0.75% per annum of the Cost of Assets; provided, however, in
respect of periods ended on or prior to September 30, 2013, that the Asset Management Fee was reduced by any oversight fee payable
to the Advisor, such that the aggregate Asset Management Fee and the oversight fee did not exceed 0.75% per annum of the Cost of
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 the Cost of Assets (or, once the Company begins disclosing net asset value (“NAV”) in periodic or current
reports filed with the SEC, 0.0625% of the lower of the Cost of Assets and the fair market value of the Company’s assets
as reported in the applicable periodic or current report filed with the SEC disclosing NAV). The Advisor shall submit a computation
of the Asset Management Fee to the Company for the applicable month.



 


		8.3	Reserved.  



 


		8.4	Real Estate Commission.  In connection with a Sale of a Property in which the Advisor or any Affiliate or
agent of the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services, as determined by the Independent Directors, the Company shall pay
to the Advisor a Real Estate Commission equal to two percent (2.0%) of the Contract Sales Price of such Property, but in no event
shall the Real Estate Commission exceed one-half of the Competitive Real Estate Commission paid if a non-Affiliate is also involved;
provided, however, that in no event may the sum of the Real Estate Commission and such brokerage commissions exceed
the lesser of six percent (6.0%) of the Contract Sales Price and a Competitive Real Estate Commission.  The Advisor shall
submit an invoice to the Company, accompanied by a computation of the Real Estate Commission at or prior to the closing of the
Sale.  The Company shall pay to the Advisor the Real Estate Commission at the closing of the Sale.



 


		8.5	Financing Coordination Fee.  The Company shall pay a Financing Coordination Fee to the Advisor 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.  In
no event will the aggregate Acquisition Fees and Financing Coordination Fees, at the time that the net proceeds of the Offering
are fully invested or at any time thereafter, exceed, in the aggregate, one and a half percent (1.5%) of the aggregate Contract
Purchase Price of all of the Properties acquired by the Company.  The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company,
accompanied by a computation of the Financing Coordination Fee at or prior to the closing of the financing.  The Company
shall pay to the Advisor the Financing Coordination Fee at the closing of the financing.



 


		8.6	Limitation on Insourced Acquisition Expenses.



 


		(A)	The total of all Insourced Acquisition Expenses with respect to any Investment shall initially be fixed at, and shall not exceed,
0.50% of the Contract Purchase Price of the Investment or 0.50% of the amount advanced for an Investment, which the Company shall
pay to the Advisor or its Affiliate at the closing of each Investment. For the avoidance of doubt, no payment in respect of Insourced
Acquisition Expenses shall be made unless the Advisor or its Affiliates shall have performed services related to selecting, evaluating
and acquiring an Investment, regardless of whether such Investment is ultimately acquired.



 






    	16



    	 



    

 


		(B)	The total of all Insourced Acquisition Expenses for any calendar year shall initially be fixed at, and shall not exceed, 0.50%
of the Contract Purchase Price of the Investments acquired during such period or 0.50% of the amounts advanced for the Investments
made during such period (to be prorated for any partial calendar year); provided, however, within a reasonable period
of time following the end of each such calendar year, the Company shall perform a Market Check and provide the results thereof
to the Advisor within a reasonable period of time and, if the result of the Market Check is that the projected amount of Acquisition
Expenses that would be incurred if substantially similar services with respect to a substantially similar amount of properties
were to be provided by a Person other than the Advisor or any of its Affiliates during the subsequent calendar year is lower than
the amount of Insourced Acquisition Expenses paid to the Advisor or its Affiliates during the previous calendar year, either (A)
the Advisor shall agree to reduce the cap on the Insourced Acquisition Expenses until the next Market Check such that the cap on
Insourced Acquisition Expenses does not exceed the projected amount of Acquisition Expenses that would be incurred if substantially
similar services with respect to a substantially similar amount of properties were to be provided by a Person other than the Advisor
or any of its Affiliates during the subsequent calendar year or (B) the Company may outsource to a Person other than the Advisor
or its Affiliate certain services previously provided by the Advisor or its Affiliates until the next Market Check.



 


		8.7	Payment of Fees.  In connection with the Acquisition Fee, Real Estate Commission,
Asset Management 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. For the purposes
of the payment of such fees in Shares, (a) prior to the date the Company begins disclosing NAV in its periodic or current reports
filed with the SEC, each Share shall be valued at $9.00 (the public offering price in the Company’s primary offering less
applicable selling commissions and dealer manager fees, excluding any discounts), (b) after the date the Company begins disclosing
NAV in its periodic or current reports filed with the SEC, each Share shall be valued at the most recently published NAV per Share
and (c) at all other times, each Share shall be valued by the Board in good faith 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.



 


		8.8	Exclusion of Certain Transactions.



 


		(A)	If the Company or the 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 disinterested Directors, including a majority of disinterested Independent Directors.



 






    	17



    	 



    

 


		(B)	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; provided, that nothing in this Section 8.8 shall create any right to (x) any
assets, intellectual property, personnel or pipeline of assets of the Advisor or its Affiliates or (y) terminate this Agreement
other than as set forth in Section 12.2.



 


		8.9	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 for any quarterly period commencing October 1, 2013
up to and including March 31, 2015.



 


		8.10	Other Services.  Should the Board request that the Advisor or any Affiliate, or any director, officer or employee
of any of the foregoing, render services for the Company other than as set forth in this Agreement, such services shall be separately
compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed upon by the Advisor or such Affiliate or other Person, on the one hand,
and the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, on the other hand, 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.



 


		8.11	Changes to Fee Structure.  In the event of Listing, the Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith
to establish a fee structure appropriate for a perpetual-life entity.

		9.2	Timing of and Additional Limitations on Reimbursements.  Commencing upon the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth

initial Offering, expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company or in connection with the services provided to the
Company (including any expenses paid or incurred by third parties engaged by the Advisor to render any portion of such services)
and reimbursable pursuant to this Article 9 shall be reimbursed, no less than monthly, to the Advisor in the manner and proportion
directed by the Advisor.  The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company during each month

of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year unless the Independent
Directors determine that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors that the Independent Directors deem
sufficient.  If the Independent Directors do not approve such excess as being so justified, the Advisor shall repay to
the Company any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter.  If the Independent Directors determine such
excess was justified, then, within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which total reimbursed Operating

such fact to be disclosed to the Stockholders in writing (or the Company shall disclose such fact to the Stockholders in the next
quarterly report of the Company or by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC within 60 days of such quarter end), together
with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified.  The

used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.

commissions, fees or other amounts due to any brokers or other Persons in connection with any Investments or to any third parties
retained to help source any financings or (iv) any other out-of-pocket pursuit costs incurred to secure, assess and close each
Investment, such as legal fees and consultant fees for due diligence activities including, but not limited to building condition
and environmental assessments and reports.  Any such amounts shall be funded when due by the Company directly in accordance
with the agreement or agreements requiring the payment of such amounts.  The Company’s obligation to fund all such
amounts shall apply whether the agreements requiring the payment of such amounts are executed in the name of the Company, the Advisor
or any of its Affiliates or agents.

Article 10


Relationship of the Advisor and the Company;
Other Activities of the Advisor


 


10.1Relationship.  Except as provided in
Section 8.9, the Company and the 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. 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 Advisor or any of its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement
limit or restrict the right of any manager, director, officer, member, partner, employee or equity holder 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.  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 other similar co-investment 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
promptly disclose to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge
that 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.


 


10.2Time Commitment.  The 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.  The Company acknowledges that the Advisor 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.


 


10.3Investment Opportunities.  The Advisor
shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program in Targeted Assets
to the Company that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company.  So long as the Advisor
acts in its capacity under this Agreement, nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or any of its Affiliates from engaging
in or earning fees from other activities, including the acquisition of any investment that is directly competitive with the Company’s
strategy, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored
or organized by the Advisor 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 (directly or through third parties retained for such purposes) 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.


 






    	21



    	 



    

 


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.


 


Article 11


The American Realty Capital and ARC Names


 


11.1The American Realty Capital and ARC Names.  The
Advisor and its Affiliates have or may have a proprietary interest in the names “American Realty Capital” and “ARC.”  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” and “ARC,” a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive royalty-free right and license to
use the names “American Realty Capital” and “ARC” 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” or “ARC,” 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” and “ARC” 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”
or “ARC” 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, service marks or other marks necessary to remove any references to any of the names “American
Realty Capital” or “ARC.”  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” or “ARC” 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” or “ARC” licensed hereunder or
the use thereof (including without limitation as to whether the use of the name “American Realty Capital” or “ARC”
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” or “ARC.”

amount equal to the then-present fair market value of the Advisor’s interest, if any, subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to
the extent applicable.

Article 13


Assignment


 


This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor
to an Affiliate with the consent of the Independent Directors.  This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company without
the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company to a corporation or other organization that is a
successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound
hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound by this Agreement. The Advisor may assign

14.1Indemnification.  Except as prohibited
by the restrictions provided in this Section 14.1, Section 14.2 and Section 14.3, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold

members, partners, managers and employees, from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties
hereunder or under any services agreement 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.  Any indemnification
of the Advisor or Lincoln may be made only out of the net assets of the Company and not from Stockholders. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify the Advisor, Lincoln or their respective Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors,

indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular
indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular 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 SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which
securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.


 


		14.2	Limitation on Indemnification.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide for indemnification
of the Advisor, Lincoln or their respective Affiliates or of their respective officers, directors, equity holders, members, partners,
managers and employees, for any liability or loss suffered by any of them, nor shall any of them be held harmless for any loss
or liability suffered by the Company, unless all of the following conditions are met:



 






    	24
