Operating Partnership to exceed one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Gross
Proceeds raised in the Primary Offering;

      (ix)          all

and Offering Expenses;

       

      (xi)          expenses
connected with payments of Distributions;

      (xiii)        expenses

entities;

       

      (xiv)        administrative
service expenses, including all costs and expenses incurred by Advisor or its
Affiliates in fulfilling its duties hereunder, including but not limited to
reasonable salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all employees directly
involved in the performance of such services; provided, 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

       

      (xv)         audit,
accounting and legal fees.

       

      (b)           Expenses

      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 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, without
limitation, 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
its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render
services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual,
trust or association 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 partnership,
corporation, firm, individual, trust or association.  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 best efforts to apply such
method fairly to the Company.

       

      15.         
THE AMERICAN REALTY
CAPITAL NAME.  The Advisor and its Affiliates have a
proprietary interest in the name “American Realty Capital.” The Advisor hereby
grants to the Company a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive,
royalty-free right and license to use the name “American Realty Capital” during
the term of this Agreement. 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 name “American Realty 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 name “American Realty 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 word “American Realty 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 “American Realty Capital” as a part
of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to
object thereto) by the Company.

       

      16.         
TERM OF
AGREEMENT.  This Agreement shall continue in force for a period
of one year from the Effective Date, and thereafter it 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 written notice (i) by the Independent Directors of the Company or
the Advisor, without Cause and without penalty, (ii) by the Advisor for Good
Reason or (iii) by the Advisor upon a Change of Control.  The
provisions of Sections 19
through 32 of
this Agreement shall survive 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 corporation, limited partnership or other organization which is
a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company or the
Operating Partnership, in which case such successor organization shall be bound
hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company
and the Operating Partnership are 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 of 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 interest, subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent
applicable. 

      
         

         (b)           Subordinated
Termination Fee.  (i)  Upon
termination of this Agreement, the Advisor shall be entitled to a Subordinated
Termination Fee. The Subordinated Termination Fee, if any, will equal to the sum
of (A) fifteen percent (15%) of the amount, if any, by which (1) the appraised
value of the Company’s Investments on the Termination Date, less any Loans
secured by such Investments, plus total Distributions paid through the
Termination Date, exceeds (2) the Gross Proceeds (less amounts paid to
repurchase Shares pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase plan) and the total
amount of cash that, if distributed to the Advisor as of the Termination Date,
would have provided the Advisor an annual six percent (6%) cumulative,
non-compounded return on the Gross Proceeds through the Termination Date, plus
(B) deemed Property Disposition Fees equal to three percent (3%) of the Contract
Sales Price that would have been paid to the Advisor or its Affiliates (assuming
the sale of substantially all the Investments of the Operating Partnership at
the Termination Date, at fair market value on such date; provided that in no
event may such deemed Property Disposition Fees exceed the aggregate Competitive
Real Estate Commissions for such Investments). In addition, the Advisor may
elect to defer its right to receive a Subordinated Termination Fee until either
a Listing or other liquidity event occurs, including a liquidation, sale of
substantially all of the Company’s Investments or merger in which the
Stockholders receive in exchange for their shares of the Company’s common stock
shares of a company that are traded on a national securities
exchange. 

         

         (ii)           If
the Advisor elects to defer its right to receive a Subordinated Termination Fee
and there is a Listing, then the Advisor will be entitled to receive a
Subordinated Termination Fee in an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the
amount, if any, by which the sum of (A) (1) the fair market value of the
Investments (determined by appraisal as of the date of the Listing) owned as of
the Termination Date of this Agreement, plus any Investments acquired after such
Termination Date for which the Advisor would have been entitled to receive an
Acquisition Fee (referred to herein as the ‘‘Included Assets’’)
less any Loans secured by the Included Assets, plus the cumulative Distributions
made by the Operating Partnership to the Company and the limited partners who
received OP Units in connection with the acquisition of the Included Assets,
from the inception through the date of the Listing, exceeds (2) the Gross
Proceeds and the capital value of OP Units issued in connection with the
acquisition of the Included Assets through the date of the Listing (excluding
any capital raised after the completion of the Primary Offering) (less amounts
paid to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase plan), plus
an amount equal to an annual six percent (6%) cumulative, non-compounded return
on the Gross Proceeds and the capital value of such OP Units measured for the
period from inception through the date of the Listing, plus (B) deemed Property
Disposition Fees equal to three percent (3%) of the Contract Sales Price that
would have been paid to the Advisor or its Affiliates (assuming the sale of
substantially all the Investments of the Operating Partnership at the
Termination Date, at fair market value on such date; provided that in no event
may such deemed Property Disposition Fees exceed the aggregate Competitive Real
Estate Commissions for such Investments). 

         

         (iii)           If
the Advisor elects to defer its right to receive a Subordinated Termination Fee
and there is a liquidation or sale of all or substantially all of the
Investments of the Operating Partnership, then the Advisor will be entitled to
receive a Subordinated Termination Fee in an amount equal to the sum of (A)
fifteen percent (15%) of the net proceeds from the sale of the Included Assets,
after subtracting the sum of (1) Distributions to Stockholders and the limited
partners who received OP Units in connection with the acquisition of the
Included Assets of their initial invested capital and the capital value of such
OP Units (less amounts paid to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Company’s share
repurchase plan) through the date of the liquidity event plus (2) an amount
equal to an annual six percent (6%) cumulative, non-compounded return on such
initial invested capital and the capital value of such OP Units measured for the
period from inception through the date of the liquidity event date, plus (B)
deemed Property Disposition Fees equal to three percent (3%) of the Contract
Sales Price that would have been paid to the Advisor or its Affiliates (assuming
the sale of substantially all the Investments of the Operating Partnership at
the Termination Date, at fair market value of such Investments; provided that in
no event may such deemed Property Disposition Fees exceed the aggregate
Competitive Real Estate Commissions for such Investments). If the Advisor
receives the Subordinated Incentive Listing Fee, it would no longer be entitled
to receive Subordinated Distributions Of Net Sales Proceeds or the Subordinated
Termination Fee. If the Advisor receives the Subordinated Termination Fee, it
would no longer be entitled to receive Subordinated Distributions Of Net Sales
Proceeds or the Subordinated Incentive Listing Fee.

      (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.

       

      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 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.  The Company and the
Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its
Affiliates, including their respective directors (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 of the following conditions are
met:

       

      (a)           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;

       

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


      
        
           


        

        
          13

          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      


      (c)           such
liability or loss was not the result of negligence or willful misconduct by the
Indemnitee; and

       

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

       

      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:

       

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

       

      (b)           such
claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent
jurisdiction as to the Indemnitee; or

       

      (c)           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.

       

      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 of the following conditions are satisfied:

       

      (a)           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;

       

      (b)           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

       

      (c)           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.

       

      22.         
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.

       

      23.

      Any party
may at any time give notice in writing to the other parties of a change in its
address for the purposes of this Section 23.

       

      24.         
MODIFICATION.  This
Agreement shall not be amended, supplemented, modified, terminated, or
discharged, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in writing signed by
the parties hereto, or their respective successors or assignees.

       

      25.         
SEVERABILITY.  The
provisions of this Agreement are independent of and severable from each other,
and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by
virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be
invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

       

      26.         
GOVERNING
LAW.  The provisions
of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York as at the time in effect, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

       

      27.         
ENTIRE
AGREEMENT.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement and
understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings,
inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature
whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof.  The express
terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the
trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

      28.         
NO
WAIVER.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a
party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of
the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver
of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be
construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to
any other occurrence.  No waiver shall be effective unless it is in
writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such
waiver.

       

      29.         
PRONOUNS
AND PLURALS.  Whenever the context may require, any pronoun
used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or
neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include
the plural and vice versa.

       

      30.         
HEADINGS.  The
titles of Sections and Subsections contained in this Agreement are for
convenience only, and they neither form a part of this Agreement nor are they to
be used in the construction or interpretation hereof.

       

      31.         
EXECUTION IN
COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any
party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together
constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement shall become
binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together,
shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the
signatories.
