      and all of the objectives and purposes of the Company and to perform all
      acts and enter into and perform all contracts and other undertakings that

      Incorporation or the MGCL require the prior approval of the

and Financial Statements

       

      The
Advisor, in the conduct of its responsibilities to the Company, shall maintain
adequate and separate books and records for the Company’s operations in
accordance with GAAP, which shall be supported by sufficient documentation to
ascertain that such books and records are properly and accurately
recorded.  Such books and records shall be the property of the Company
and shall be available for inspection by the Board and by counsel, auditors and
other authorized agents of the Company, at any time or from time to time during
normal business hours. Such books and records shall include all information
necessary to calculate and audit the fees or reimbursements paid under this
Agreement.  The Advisor shall utilize procedures to attempt to ensure
such control over accounting and financial transactions as is reasonably
required to protect the Company’s assets from theft, error or fraudulent
activity.  All financial statements that the Advisor delivers to the
Company shall be prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, except
for special financial reports that by their nature require a deviation from
GAAP. The Advisor shall liaise with the Company’s officers and independent
auditors and shall provide such officers and auditors with the reports and other
information that the Company so requests.

       

      Article
7

      Limitation
on Activities

       

      Notwithstanding
any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Advisor shall not take any
action that, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would (i) adversely affect
the ability of the Company to qualify or continue to qualify as a REIT under the
Code (unless the Board has determined that REIT qualification is not in the best
interests of the Company and its Stockholders), (ii) subject the Company to
regulation under the 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.

      acquisition (by purchase, investment or exchange) of
      Investments.  The total Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor
      shall equal one percent (1.0%) of the amount actually paid or allocated to
      fund the acquisition, origination, development, construction or
      improvement of the Investment, inclusive of the expenses associated with
      such Investment and the amount of any debt associated with, or used to
      fund the investment in, such 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
      acquisition.  An Acquisition Fee shall only be payable on the
      reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of an investment, if, during the
      period ending two years after the final closing of the initial Offering,
      the Company sells an Investment and then reinvests in other
      Investments.

      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 and shall deliver such statement
      to the Company within three (3) business days after the end of each
      month.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (A)

            	
              The
      Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter
      for Operating Expenses that in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then
      ended (the “Expense
      Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the
      greater 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 Expenses for the Expense Year
      exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Advisor, at the direction of the
      Independent Directors, shall cause 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 Company will ensure that such determination will
      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.

              Notwithstanding
      this Article 9, or any other provision in this Agreement seemingly to the
      contrary, Advisor, its Affiliates and agents shall not be required to
      advance for reimbursement (i) any earnest money deposits required in
      connection with any Investments, (ii) any fees, deposits or other amounts
      due to any lender or other Person in order to secure and close any
      financings, (iii) any 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.

              10.1

            	
              Relationship.  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.

      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.

      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.

            


    

     

    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.

    The
American Realty Capital and ARC Names

     

    
      	
              11.1

            	
              The 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.”

      then accrued and owing to the Advisor, including all its interest, if any,

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

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.

      Advisor or its Affiliates or Lincoln or its Affiliates, as applicable, or
      any of their respective officers, directors, equity holders, members,
      partners, managers and employees only if (in addition to any applicable
      procedures required by the MGCL) all of the following are satisfied: (a)
      the proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the
      performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company, (b) the legal
      proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder or, if
      by a stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of
      competent jurisdiction approves such advancement and (c) such Person
      undertakes to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company, together
      with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately

              Severability.  The
      provisions of this Agreement are independent of and severable from each

              Third Party
      Beneficiary.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement
      are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto, their Affiliates
      and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and it is not the
      intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any
      other Person; except with respect to the benefits conferred upon or
      derived by Lincoln and its Affiliates and their respective successors and
      assigns under Articles 9, 13 and 14. Lincoln, its
      Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns shall have all
      rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided in such Articles and
      shall have the right to directly seek enforcement of such rights,
      remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement. Neither the
      failure nor any delay on the part of Lincoln, its Affiliates or their
      respective successors and assigns 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.  Copies of any Notice delivered in
      accordance with Section 15.1 of this Agreement shall be (a) delivered in
      person, (b) sent by facsimile transmission, (c) sent by a
      nationally-recognized overnight courier service, or (d) sent by certified
      or registered mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), to Lincoln

              Waiver.  Neither
      the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right,

      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.
