 WHEREAS, in connection with the foregoing, the Company and the Executive desire

(a) Position(s). Effective as of the Effective Date, the Company agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive agrees to be
employed and serve as, the “President-Office & Industrial Group” of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Executive shall work out of the Company’s New York

time to time with the prior written approval of the Company; provided that all of the Executive’s activities outside of the Executive’s duties to the Company, individually or in the
aggregate, comply with the Company’s conflict of interest policies and corporate governance guidelines as in effect from time and do not otherwise materially interfere with the Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company.
Subject to the provisions of Section 10 herein, the Executive may make any passive investment, or own five percent (5%) or less of the issued and outstanding voting securities of any entity, provided, in any event, that he is not obligated
or required to, and shall not in fact, devote any material consulting or managerial effort or services in connection therewith. 
 2.
TERM. This Agreement and the Executive’s employment shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter until the third
(3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”); and shall be automatically extended for a renewal term of one (1) additional year (a “Renewal
Term”) at the end of the Initial Term, and an additional one (1) year Renewal Term at the end of each Renewal Term (the last day of the Initial Term and each such Renewal Term is referred to herein as a “Term Date”),
unless either party notifies the other party of its non-renewal of this Agreement not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to a Term Date by providing written notice to the other party of such party’s intent not to renew, or
if the Executive’s employment is sooner terminated pursuant to Section 6. For purposes of this Agreement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions set forth in Section 10 below),
“Term” shall mean the actual duration of the Executive’s employment hereunder, taking into account any extensions pursuant to this Section 2 or early termination of employment pursuant to Section 6. 

3. BASE SALARY. The Company shall pay the Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”), which shall be payable in
periodic installments according to the Company’s normal payroll practices. The initial Base Salary shall be at the annual rate of $495,000. For years commencing after December 31, 2013, the Company shall review the Base Salary at least
once a year to determine whether the Base Salary should be increased effective January 1 of each year during the Term; provided, however, that on any January 1 during the Term, the Base Salary shall be increased by a minimum positive
amount equal to the Base Salary in effect on January 1 of the immediately preceding year multiplied by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”, as defined herein in Section 16(1)) for such year (prorated for
the portion of 2013 during which the Executive was employed). The amount of the CPI-based increase shall be determined before March 31st of each year and shall be retroactive to January 1 of that same year and any retroactive amount shall
be paid no later than April 15th of such year. The percentage increase in the CPI for such year shall be computed by dividing the then-current CPI-U for the month of January of each year by
the CPI-U for the month of January of the immediately preceding year. The Base Salary, as increased pursuant to this Section 3, shall not be decreased during the Term. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Base Salary” shall mean
the amount established and adjusted from time to time pursuant to this Section 3. 
 4. OTHER COMPENSATION.

bonus in the amount of $1,150,000 (the “Sign-On Bonus”), payable (i) 50% in a cash lump sum and (ii) 50% in a number of fully vested 








 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
and freely transferable (subject to any Company trading policies relating to insider trading and any trading restrictions required by applicable law or regulations) shares of the common stock,
par value $0.01, of American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (the “ARCP Stock”), determined based on the average closing price of the ARCP Stock over the five trading days immediately prior to the payment date of the Sign-On Bonus
(rounded down to the nearest whole share). For the avoidance of doubt, the ARCP Stock shall be paid from shares of stock owned by the Company and the ARCP Stock shall not be granted pursuant to the American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. Equity
Plan (the “ARCP Plan”). Income and employment tax withholding on the Sign-On Bonus shall be in the form of cash withholding on the portion of the Sign-On Bonus paid in cash and in stock withholding on the portion of the Sign-On
Bonus paid in ARCP Stock. 
 (b) Annual Incentive Bonus Policy. The Executive shall be entitled to receive an annual cash incentive
bonus (each an “Annual Bonus”) for each fiscal year during the Term of this Agreement in accordance with a bonus policy adopted by the Company’s board of managers (after consultation with the Senior Officer) by March 31st of each fiscal year. The Company agrees to consult with the Executive in good faith in establishing the performance requirements contained in the bonus policy for each fiscal year. The bonus policy
will provide that the Executive shall be entitled to earn an Annual Bonus of up to 100% of the Base Salary for the applicable year. The Annual Bonus for a fiscal year shall be paid as soon as possible following the end of the fiscal year, but in no
event later than March 15th of the year following the fiscal year to which the Annual Bonus relates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) for the 2013 fiscal year, the Annual Bonus shall be no less than $415,000 (pro-rated based on the
number of days during the fiscal year that the Executive was employed by the Company over the total number of days in the 2013 fiscal year); and (ii) for the remainder of the Initial Term, the Annual Bonus shall be no less than $180,000 for
each completed fiscal year (the “Minimum Bonus”). Other than as set forth in Section 7, the Executive must be employed by the Company or an affiliate of the Company on the date an Annual Bonus is paid to be eligible to receive
the Annual Bonus for such fiscal year. 
 (c) Equity. In addition to the Annual Bonus, for each fiscal year during the Term the
Company will recommend to the “Committee” under, and as defined in, the ARCP Plan that it grant to Executive a year-end bonus consisting of a number of shares of restricted ARCP Stock under the ARCP Plan equal in value to up to
150 % of Base Salary (determined as of the date of grant) subject to time-based vesting in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, and subject to such other terms and conditions as may be determined by
the Committee consistent with the ARCP Plan. The Company will recommend to the Committee that any such grants be made substantially under the form of award agreement attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement, with such changes thereto as may be
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, provided however, that the award agreement will not be changed in a manner detrimental to the Executive if such change is inconsistent with the form of award agreement being utilized for other
executives. In the event that the Committee determines not to grant such award to the Executive for any year, the Company will, in its sole discretion, either recommend that the Executive be granted an equity award with an equal grant date value
under another equity plan maintained by an affiliate of the Company or will grant the Executive an equivalent cash based award (including with respect to vesting), in either case in a manner not inconsistent with the first sentence of this
Section 4(c).

reasonable and are required for the Company’s legitimate protection, and do not unduly limit his ability to earn a livelihood.

each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the other and severally enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company and its

Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced (without posting bond and without the need to prove damages) by any court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the right to an entry against the Executive of restraining orders and
injunctions (preliminary, mandatory, temporary and permanent) against violations, threatened or actual, and whether or not then continuing, of such covenants; and

such Benefits to the Company and, if applicable, its affected affiliates. 
 (g) If any court or other decision-maker of competent
jurisdiction determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration, scope of activities or geographical scope of such provision, then, after such determination has become final and
unappealable, the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, shall be reduced so that such provision becomes enforceable and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. 

11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company or any successor or assign, and grant to the Company and

nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical information.

“deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A, such reimbursement shall be provided no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred (or, where applicable, no later than such earlier
time required by the Agreement). The amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year. The amount of any in-kind benefits provided in one year shall not affect the amount of
in-kind benefits provided in any other year. 
 (iii) For purposes of Code Section 409A (including, without limitation. for purposes
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), the right to receive payments in the form of installment payments shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment shall at all

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of Executive’s separation from service (as
defined in Code Section 409A), Executive is a “Specified Employee”, then the Company will defer the payment or commencement of any nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A payable upon separation from
service (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to 








 EXECUTION VERSION 
  

 
Executive) until the date that is six (6) months following separation from service or, if earlier, the earliest other date as is permitted under Code Section 409A (and any amounts that
otherwise would have been paid during this deferral period will be paid in a lump sum on the day after the expiration of the six (6) month period or such shorter period, if applicable). Executive will be a “Specified Employee” for
purposes of this Agreement if on the date of Executive’s separation from service, Executive is an individual who is, under the method of determination adopted by the Company designated as, or within the category of executives deemed to be, a
“Specified Employee” within the meaning and in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i). The Company shall determine in its sole discretion all matters relating to who is a “Specified Employee” and the
application of and effects of the change in such determination. 
 (v) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the
contrary, a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits that constitute “non-qualified deferred compensation” within
the meaning of Code Section 409A upon or following a termination of the Employee’s employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such
provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service” and the date of such separation from service shall be the date of termination
for purposes of any such payment or benefits. 
 (n) Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the
contrary, the provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
