WHEREAS, ARC HT is externally managed and advised by American Realty Capital Healthcare Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ARC HT’s Advisor”), pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement, dated as of November 12, 2012, as amended from time to time, by and among ARC HT, ARC HT’s Advisor and American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust Operating Partnership, L.P.;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein made and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I     
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
1.1    Investment Allocation.  
(a)    The parties hereto agree that, during the term of this Agreement, (1) until such time as ARC HT has substantially completed its property acquisitions (subject to the concentration exception described in this paragraph of Section 1.1(a)), ARC HT shall have priority over any other ARC Fund to Proposed Property Acquisitions, except as may otherwise be agreed upon between the board of directors of the ARC Funds, and (2) after such time as ARC HT has substantially completed its property acquisitions, if any ARC Fund Advisor determines that one or 

1




more Proposed Property Acquisition is appropriate for its ARC Fund, and assuming each ARC Fund has sufficient capital to support such Proposed Property Acquisition, such Proposed Property Acquisition shall be submitted to the board of directors of each ARC Fund for a vote on whether to pursue such Proposed Property Acquisition.  If the board of directors of more than one ARC Fund approves to pursue such Proposed Property Acquisition, the acquisition of such properties shall be allocated as set forth immediately below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any priority to Proposed Property Acquisitions allocated to ARC HT hereby will be lifted in cases in which a proposed acquisition would overly concentrate ARC HT in a particular industry, geographical region or tenant. 
For purposes of illustration only, assuming ARC HT and ARC HT II elect to pursue the Proposed Property Acquisition in accordance with this Section, and the last property acquired by ARC HT closed on July 1, 2013, and by ARC HT II closed on June 1, 2013, (i) if one property is available, ARC HT II shall be entitled to purchase such property, (ii) if two properties are available, ARC HT and ARC HT II shall each be able to purchase one property, and (iii) if three or more properties are available, ARC HT II shall be entitled to purchase two properties and ARC HT shall purchase the other property. Assuming further that ARC HT and ARC HT II each last purchased a property on May 1, 2013, the ARC Fund with the smallest property portfolio based on gross purchase price shall be entitled to purchase the property. The decision with respect to the specific properties to be acquired by each ARC Fund shall be agreed upon by the ARC Fund Advisors of such ARC Funds.
(b)    If any ARC Fund that elects to pursue the Proposed Property Acquisitions in accordance with Section 1.1(a) has sufficient capital to acquire all such proposed properties, the acquisition of such properties shall be allocated as follows:  (i) if the ARC Funds pursuing such Proposed Property Acquisitions is greater than the number of properties available, in chronological order starting with the ARC Fund that has not acquired a property for the longest period of time or (ii) if the number of Proposed Property Acquisitions is equal to or greater than the number of ARC Funds pursuing such acquisitions and (A) the number of properties being acquired is divisible by the number of ARC Funds participating in such acquisitions to a whole number, equally among all such ARC Funds or (B) the number of properties being acquired is not divisible by the number of ARC Funds participating in such acquisitions to a whole number, first equally among all such ARC Funds to the extent possible, and then in chronological order starting with the ARC Fund that has not acquired a property for the longest period of time.
(c)    If any ARC Fund that elects to pursue the Proposed Property Acquisitions in accordance with Section 1.1(a) has sufficient capital to acquire some, but not all, the properties allocated to it pursuant to Section 1.1(b), the ARC Fund with sufficient capital shall be entitled to purchase the remaining properties. 
(d)    The decision with respect to the specific properties to be acquired by each ARC Fund pursuant to this Section 1.1 shall be agreed upon by the ARC Fund Advisors of such ARC Funds.  With respect to any allocation of properties pursuant to this Section 1.1 based on the chronological order starting with the ARC Fund that has not acquired a property for the longest period of time, if the ARC Funds last acquired a property on the same date, the allocation of such Proposed Property Acquisitions shall be to the ARC Fund with the smallest property portfolio based on gross purchase price.
