(d)          The
Board may, at any time upon the giving of Notice to the Advisor, modify or revoke the authority set forth in this Section 5;
provided, however, that such modification or revocation shall be effective upon receipt by the Advisor and shall
not be applicable to investment transactions to which the Advisor has committed the Company or the Operating Partnership prior
to the date of receipt by the Advisor of such notification.


 


6.          FIDUCIARY
RELATIONSHIP. The Advisor, as a result of its relationship with the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this
Agreement, has a fiduciary responsibility and duty to the Company and its Stockholders.


 


7.          NO
PARTNERSHIP OR JOINT VENTURE. Except as provided in Section  11(j), the parties to this Agreement are not partners
or joint venturers with each other and nothing herein shall be construed to make them partners or joint venturers or impose any
liability as such on either of them.


 


8.          BANK
ACCOUNTS. The Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in the name of the Company or the Operating Partnership
and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf
of the Company or the Operating Partnership, under such terms and conditions as the Board may approve, provided that no funds shall

10.         LIMITATIONS
ON ACTIVITIES. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action which, in

as a REIT, unless the Board has determined that REIT qualification is not in the best interests of the Company and its Stockholders,
(b) subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (c) violate any law, rule, regulation
or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company, the Operating Partnership or the
Shares, or otherwise not be permitted by the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, except if such action shall be ordered by the
Board, in which case the Advisor shall notify promptly 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 to the Company for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board
so given.

11.         FEES.


 


(a)          Acquisition
Fee. Subject to Section 12(b), the Company shall pay an Acquisition Fee to the Advisor or its assigns as compensation
for services rendered in connection with the investigation, selection and acquisition (by purchase, investment or exchange) of
each Investment. If the Advisor is terminated without Cause pursuant to Section 18(b)(1), the Advisor or its assigns shall be entitled
to an Acquisition Fee for any Investments acquired after the Termination Date for which a contract to acquire the applicable Investment
had been entered into at or prior to the Termination Date. The total Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor or its assigns shall
be equal to 1.5% of (1) the Contract Purchase Price of each Investment and (2) the amount advanced for a Loan or other investment.
The purchase price allocable for an Investment held through a Joint Venture shall equal the product of (i) the Contract Purchase
Price of the Investment, multiplied by (ii) the direct or indirect ownership percentage in the Joint Venture held directly or indirectly
by the Company or the Operating Partnership. For purposes of this Section 11(a), “ownership percentage” shall
be the percentage of capital stock, membership interests, partnership interests or other equity interests owned directly or indirectly
by the Company or the Operating Partnership, without regard to classification of such equity interests. The Company shall pay any
Acquisition Fee due hereunder promptly upon the closing of the Investment. In addition, if during the period ending two years after
the close of the initial Primary Offering, the Company sells an Investment and then reinvests the net proceeds in a new Investment(s),
the Company shall pay to the Advisor or its assigns 1.0% of the Contract Purchase Price of the new Investment(s).


 


(b)          Real
Estate Commission. In connection with a Sale of a Real Estate Asset in which the Advisor or any Affiliate or agent or assign
of the Advisor including a Service Provider provides a substantial amount of assistance, as determined by the Independent Directors,
the Company shall pay to the Advisor or its assigns, in the aggregate, a Real Estate Commission up to the lesser of (i) 2.0% of
the Contract Sales Price of the Real Estate Asset or (ii) one-half of the Competitive Real Estate Commission paid if an unaffiliated
third party broker is also involved; provided, however, that in no event may the Real Estate Commission paid to the
Advisor, its Affiliates and agents (including a Service Provider) and to an unaffiliated third party exceed the lesser of 6.0%
of the Contract Sales Price and a Competitive Real Estate Commission.


 


(c)          Financing
Coordination Fee. If the Advisor or its assigns provide services in connection with the origination or refinancing of any
Loan the Company or the Operating Partnership directly or indirectly obtains, including any assumed Loan, the Company shall pay
a Financing Coordination Fee to the Advisor or its assigns in an amount equal to 0.75% of the amount available or outstanding under
any such Loan, including any assumed Loan. The Advisor and its assigns may reallow some of or all this Financing Coordination Fee
to reimburse third parties with whom it may subcontract to procure any such Loan.


 







    	14



    	 



    

 


(d)          Annual
Subordinated Performance Fee. The Company shall pay the Advisor or its assigns an Annual Subordinated Performance Fee payable
in any year equal to 15% of the amount that the Total Return to Stockholders exceeds 6% per annum, provided, that in no event may
the Annual Subordinated Performance Fee exceed 10% of the aggregate Total Return to Stockholders for the applicable year.


 


(e)          Payment
of Fees. The Company shall pay, or cause the Operating Partnership to pay any fees due the Advisor or its assigns under
Section 11(a), (b), (c)  or (d) hereof, at the Advisor’s or the assign’s option in cash,
Shares or OP Units or any combination thereof. For the purposes of the payment of any fees in Shares or OP Units, (i) if during
an Offering, (a) prior to the NAV Pricing Start Date, each Share or OP Unit shall be valued at the per-share offering price of
the Shares in the applicable Offering minus the maximum Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fee payable in the applicable Offering,
and (b) after the NAV Pricing Start Date, each Share or OP Unit shall be valued at the then-current NAV per Share; and (ii) at
all other times, each Share or OP Unit shall be equal in value to (A) the estimated value of the Shares, calculated in accordance
with the provisions of NASD Rule 2340(c)(1) (or any successor or similar FINRA rule), or (B) if no such rule shall then exist,
at the fair market value thereof.


 


(f)          Conditions
to Certain Fees.


 


(i)          If
the Company or the Operating Partnership enters into any transaction in which the Advisor, any Affiliate or any of the Advisor’s
directors or officers has a direct or indirect interest, then such transaction shall be approved by a majority of the Board not
otherwise interested in such transaction, including a majority of the Independent Directors.


 


(ii)         Neither
the Company nor the Operating Partnership shall make loans to the Advisor or any Affiliate thereof or any officers of the Company
or Directors except as permitted by the Articles of Incorporation. Neither the Advisor, any Affiliate thereof, nor any officers
or Directors of the Company, shall make loans to the Company or the Operating Partnership, or to Joint Ventures, unless approved
by a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction
as fair, competitive, and commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to the Company or Operating Partnership, as applicable,
than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties, as determined by the Independent Directors in their sole discretion; provided,
however, that the waiver or deferral of any fee or reimbursement due the Advisor or any Affiliate hereunder shall not be treated
as a loan for the purposes of this Section 11(i)(ii).


 


(iii)        The
Company and the Operating Partnership may enter into Joint Ventures with the Advisor or its Affiliates provided that (a) a majority
of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approves the transaction
as being fair and reasonable to the Company or Operating Partnership, as applicable, and (b) the investment by the Company or Operating
Partnership, as applicable, is on substantially the same terms as those received by other joint venturers, as determined by the
Independent Directors in their sole discretion.


 




    	15



    	 



    

 


(iv)        If
the Board elects to internalize any management services provided by the Advisor, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership
shall pay any compensation or other remuneration to the Advisor or its Affiliates in connection with such internalization of management
services.

Participation Interests. The Company shall cause the Operating Partnership to periodically issue Subordinated Participation

Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, including, the following:

extent reimbursement would cause the total amount of Organization and Offering Expenses paid by the Company and the Operating Partnership
to exceed 2.0% of the Gross Proceeds raised in all Primary Offerings;


 


(ii)         Acquisition
Expenses, including, but not limited to, up to 0.10% of the Contract Purchase Price of an Investment for legal expenses incurred
by the Advisor, or any Affiliates or assigns thereof in connection with the selection, evaluation and acquisition of an Investment;


 


(iii)        the
actual cost of goods and services used by the Company and obtained from entities not Affiliated with the Advisor;

of the Company or the Operating Partnership;


 


(xii)        expenses
of Stockholder communications including the cost of preparing, printing, and mailing annual reports and other Stockholder reports,

fee hereunder; provided further that the Company shall not reimburse the Advisor, or any Affiliates or assigns for the salaries,
bonuses or benefits paid by any of these entities to persons serving as the Company’s executive officers; and


 


(xiv)      audit,

on Total Acquisition Fees, Financing Coordination Fees, Acquisition Expenses.


 


(i)          The
total of all Acquisition Fees and Financing Coordination Fees payable hereunder as well as Acquisition Expenses reimbursable hereunder,
if any, shall be reasonable and shall not exceed an amount equal to 4.5% of (A) the Contract Purchase Price of the Company’s
total portfolio of Investments and (B) the amount advanced for each Loan or other investment; provided, however,
that once all the net proceeds from the initial Primary Offering have been invested, the total of all Acquisition Fees and Financing
Coordination Fees on future Investments and reinvestments shall not exceed 2.0% of the Contract Purchase Price of the new Investment.


 


(c)          Limitation
on Insourced Acquisition Expenses.


 




    	17



    	 



    

 


(i)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the total of all Insourced Acquisition Expenses to be reimbursed by the Company for any calendar
year (other than the legal expenses described in Section 12(a)(ii) above) shall not exceed 0.50% of (A) the Contract Purchase
Price of the Investments acquired during such period and (B) of the amounts advanced for any Loan or other investment made during
such period (to be prorated for any partial calendar year); provided, however, that within a reasonable period of
time following the end of each calendar year, the Company shall perform a Market Check and provide the results thereof to the Advisor
within a reasonable period of time. If the amount of Acquisition Expenses projected in the Market Check that would be incurred
if substantially similar services with respect to a substantially similar amount of properties were to be provided by a Person
other than the Advisor, or any Affiliates or assigns during the subsequent calendar year is lower than the amount of Insourced
Acquisition Expenses paid to the Advisor or its Affiliates during the previous calendar year, then either (A) the Advisor shall
reduce the cap on the Insourced Acquisition Expenses until the next Market Check such that the cap on Insourced Acquisition Expenses
does not exceed the projected amount of Acquisition Expenses projected by the Market Check or (B) the Company may outsource to
a Person other than the Advisor or its Affiliates certain services previously provided by the Advisor or its Affiliates until the
next Market Check.


 


(d)          Subject
to Section 14 hereof, commencing upon the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth fiscal quarter after the Company makes its first
Investment and (ii) six (6) months after the commencement of the initial Primary Offering, the Company shall reimburse no less
than monthly, all expenses incurred by the Advisor, or any of its Affiliates or assigns on behalf of the Company and the Operating
Partnership or any of their subsidiaries in connection with the services provided hereunder.


 


13.         OTHER
SERVICES. If the Board requests the Advisor or any director, officer or employee thereof to render services for the Company
and the Operating Partnership other than those set forth in Sections 3 and 4, 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.


 


14.         REIMBURSEMENT
TO THE ADVISOR. The Company shall not, during any Expense Year, reimburse the Advisor or any of its Affiliates or assigns for
any expenses incurred by any of them to the extent that at the end of any fiscal quarter the Total Operating Expenses incurred
by the Advisor, or any of its Affiliates or assigns exceed, in the aggregate, for the then ended Expense Year, the 2%/25% Guidelines
(the “Excess Amount”). The Advisor and any of its Affiliates or assigns shall repay the Company for any Excess
Amount, or the Company, at its option, may subtract the Excess Amount from the Total Operating Expenses reimbursed during the subsequent
fiscal quarter. Notwithstanding the above, 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, or any its
Affiliates or assigns in one or more of such years, provided that the Company sends written disclosure to the Stockholders 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 also 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.

15.         OTHER
ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR. Except as set forth in this Section 15, 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. 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 may be paid 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.


 


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

be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms upon mutual consent of the parties.


 


18.         TERMINATION
BY THE PARTIES. This Agreement may be terminated (a) by the Company with Cause upon forty-five (45) days’ prior written
notice or (b) upon sixty (60) days’ prior 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 18 and 22 through 25 (inclusive) of this Agreement shall survive any expiration or earlier termination
of this Agreement.


 


19.         ASSIGNMENT.
This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate or to one or more Service
Providers 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 Person which is a successor to all the assets, rights
and obligations of the Company or the Operating Partnership, and which the Board has determined possess sufficient qualifications
to perform the advisory function for the Company, 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.

Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor, Lincoln and their
respective 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 or under any services agreement, 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 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 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:


 


(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;


 




    	21



    	 



    

 


(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.

22.         INDEMNIFICATION
BY ADVISOR. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership and any of their respective
Affiliates 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.

24.         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

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 24 shall be (a) delivered in person, (b) sent by facsimile transmission, (c) sent by a nationally-recognized

WAIVER. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this

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
