connection with the Variable Management Fee, the Company shall pay such fees to the Advisor or its assignees in cash; provided,

the combination of such payment to be determined in the sole discretion of the Advisor.

(ii)       Neither
the Company nor the Operating Partnership shall make Loans to the Advisor or any Affiliate thereof or certain of the Stockholders

and commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to the Company or Operating Partnership, as applicable, than comparable loans
between unaffiliated parties.


 




    	 	14	 



     


    

 


 


 


(iii)       The
Company and the Operating Partnership may enter into Joint Ventures with the Advisor or its Affiliates provided that (a) a majority

entering into this Agreement, waives any Acquisition Fee, Disposition Fee, and Real Estate Commission that would have become payable

(2.0%) of the Gross Proceeds raised in all Primary Offerings;

(xiv)       audit,
accounting and legal fees.


 


(b)       Advisor
Employee Compensation. In addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 10, the Company or
the Operating Partnership shall reimburse the Advisor, monthly in arrears, for all Advisor Employee Compensation. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein (or in any other agreement between the Advisor or its Affiliates and the Company or the

the services provided by the Advisor hereunder and payable pursuant to this Section 11 shall be reimbursed, no less than
monthly, to the Advisor.


 


(e)       Allocable
Share of Expenses. To the extent that any reimbursable expenses or costs incurred or paid by the Advisor are also attributable
to any other entity advised by the Advisor or its Affiliates, or otherwise relate to a purpose not exclusive to the Company, the
Company shall only be responsible for its allocable share of the expense or cost to the Advisor and only to the extent it is incurred
pursuant to the Advisor’s duties under this Agreement.


 


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.    OTHER ACTIVITIES
OF THE ADVISOR. Except as set forth in this Section 13, 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.

14.    THE AMERICAN REALTY
CAPITAL NAME. The Advisor and its Affiliates have or may have a proprietary interest in the names “American Realty Capital,”
“ARC”, “AR Capital” and “AR Global.” 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”,
“AR Capital” and “AR Global,” a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and
license to use the names “American Realty Capital,” “ARC”, “AR Capital” and “AR Global”
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”, “AR Capital” and “AR
Global,” 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”, “AR Capital” and “AR Global” 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”, “AR Capital” and “AR Global” 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”, “AR
Capital” and “AR Global.” 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”, “AR Capital” and “AR Global” 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”,
“AR Capital” and “AR Global” 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.”


 


15.    TERM OF AGREEMENT;
RENEWAL. This Agreement shall be in effect from the Effective Date through July 1, 2030, and shall be automatically renewed
for successive five-year terms thereafter unless either party gives written notice of its election not to renew at least one hundred
eighty (180) days prior to the then-applicable expiration date; provided, however, that the Company and the Operating
Partnership may only elect not to renew this Agreement (and to provide such notice) with the prior approval of at least two-thirds
(2/3) of the Independent Directors. For the avoidance of doubt, upon expiration of this Agreement in accordance with this Section
15 at the end of its term, the Change of Control Fee shall not be owed to the Advisor in respect to such non-renewal.


 




    	 	18

PARTIES. Notwithstanding Section 15, this Agreement may be terminated at any time (i) in accordance with Section
18(b), (ii) upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice by the Advisor for Good Reason, or (iii) upon forty-five (45)
days’ prior written notice by the Independent Directors of the Company for Cause. The provisions of Sections 14 and
18 through 30 (inclusive) of this Agreement shall survive any expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.


 


17.    ASSIGNMENT. This
Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate of the Advisor with the approval of the Board of Directors (including
a majority of the Independent Directors). After a Listing, this Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to any party with expertise
in comparable commercial real estate and that has, together with its Affiliates, over $800 million of assets under management upon
prior written notice to the Company (which notice shall provide details of the assignment and a copy of the agreement pursuant
to which the assignment is effectuated), but without obtaining the approval of the Board of 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; provided,
that in the event any such assignment constitutes a Change of Control, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the Company
or the Operating Partnership the Change of Control Fee in accordance with Section 18(a).


 


18.    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

all its interest in the Company’s income, losses, distributions and capital by payment of an amount equal to the then-present
fair market value of the Advisor’s shares of the Company and units of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership;
provided, however, any fees or expenses accrued but unpaid on the date a Change of Control is consummated, together with any Subject
Fees payable as a result of a termination in connection with a Change of Control shall be paid to the Advisor on the date upon
which the Change of Control is consummated.


 


(b)       Change
of Control. The Company or the Advisor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in connection with the consummation
of the first Change of Control occurring during the initial term of this Agreement or any renewal term thereof so long as (i) notice
of such termination in connection with the first Change of Control is delivered to the Advisor on the date the definitive agreement
is executed in connection with the consummation of such Change of Control, (ii) the effective date of such termination of this
Agreement is at least one hundred eighty (180) days following such notice, (iii) in the case of the Company, the Company has obtained
the approval of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Independent Directors to so terminate this Agreement prior to delivering such
notice, (iv) the applicable Subject Fees are paid upon the consummation of the Change of Control and (v) the Advisor continues
to receive all compensation and reimbursements which may be due to the Advisor hereunder (other than the Subject Fees) up to the
effective date of such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, notice of termination as a result of a Change of Control may only
be given once during the initial term and once during each renewal term thereof and the right to terminate for a Change of Control
under this Section 18(b) shall only apply during the term in which the Change of Control has occurred, and the Company
or Advisor shall not have the right to terminate for a Change of Control which has occurred in a prior term.

19.    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.


 


20.    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,” and each, a “Loss”)
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 or the Charter. 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:


 




    	 	20	 



     


    

 


 


 


(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 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 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
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 found not to be entitled to indemnification.


 


21.    INDEMNIFICATION
BY ADVISOR. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership from Losses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees 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.
