The Company shall pay an Asset Management Fee to the Advisor or its assignees as compensation for services rendered in connection with the management of the Company’s assets in an amount equal to 0.75% per annum of the cost of the Company’s assets. The Asset Management Fee is payable within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter (subject to the approval of the board of directors) in the amount equal to (i) the product of (y) 0.1875% multiplied by (z) the cost of the Company’s assets for the preceding period (until the NAV pricing date, then the lower of the cost of assets and the fair value of the Company’s assets for the preceding period) minus (ii) any oversight fees payable to the advisor during such quarter.
 
(c)          Real Estate Commission. In connection with a Sale of a Real Estate Asset in which the Advisor or any Affiliate or agent of the Advisor 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 and to an unaffiliated third party exceed the lesser of 6.0% of the Contract Sales Price and a Competitive Real Estate Commission.
  
(d)          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.
 
(e)          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.
 
(f)          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), (d) or (e) 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 shall be valued by the Board in good faith (A) at the estimated value thereof, 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; provided, however, that in the case of Asset Management Fees payable in grants of restricted Shares, each Share shall be valued in accordance with the provisions of the equity incentive plan of the Company pursuant to which such grants are to be made.
 
(g)          Exclusion of Certain Transactions.
 
(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(g)(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.
 
(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; provided, that nothing in this Section 11(g) shall create any right to (x) any assets, intellectual property, personnel or pipeline of assets of the Advisor or its Affiliates or (y) terminate the Agreement other than as set forth in Section 18.
 
12.         EXPENSES.

(i)          Organization and Offering Expenses, including third-party due diligence fees related to the Primary Offering, as set forth in detailed and itemized invoices; provided, however, that the Company shall not make any reimbursement under this Section 12(a)(i) to the 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;

(v)         taxes and assessments on income of the Company, its subsidiaries or its Investments;
 
(vi)        costs associated with any insurance;
 
(vii)       expenses of managing, operating and disposing of Investments;

(ix)         expenses associated with a Listing or any other liquidity event such as a merger or the sale of all or substantially all of the Investments;
 
(x)          expenses of paying dividends or Distributions;
 
(xi)         expenses of organizing, revising, amending, converting, modifying or terminating the Company, the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary thereof or the Articles of Incorporation, By-laws or governing documents of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary 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, proxy statements and reports required by governmental entities;
 
(xiii)       administrative service expenses, including the reasonable salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all directly involved in the performance of services by persons employed by the Advisor, or any Affiliate or assign; provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be made with respect to salaries, bonuses or benefits of any person who performs services for which the Company pays a separate 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, accounting and legal fees.
 
(b)          Limitation on Total Acquisition Fees, Financing Coordination Fees, and 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 (including the Company’s pro rata share of debt attributable to the portfolio) 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 2.5% of the Contract Purchase Price of the new Investment.
  
(c)          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 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.
  
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.”
 
17.         TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in force for a period of one year from the date hereof. Thereafter, the term may 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, 20 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 assign 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.  
  
20.         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, subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable.
 
(b)          Advisor’s Duties. The Advisor shall, and shall cause any Affiliate or assigns, 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, the Operating Partnership and any of their respective Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;

(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 or any of its Affiliates or assigns; and
 
(iv)        cooperate with the Company and the Operating Partnership to provide an orderly management transition.
 

21.         INCORPORATION OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT. To the extent that the Articles of Incorporation or the Operating Partnership Agreement as in effect on the date hereof 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.
  
22.         INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP.
 
(a)          The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its 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, 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 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 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;
 
(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.
 
23.         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.         NOTICES. Any notice, report or other communication (each a “Notice”) required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of giving such Notice is required by the Articles of Incorporation, the By-laws, and shall be given by being delivered by hand, by courier or overnight carrier or by registered or certified mail to the addresses set forth below:

taken and completed, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment do not adversely affect any such security interests and liens or the perfection or priority thereof. This Amendment and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement create
a perfected, first priority security interest in the Collateral Account, free and clear of any and all Liens and encumbrances (except for Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents).

Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral in the Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate amount required by Section 5.14 of the Credit Agreement (after
giving effect to this Amendment) over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.
