TO
AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
OF
AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL OPERATING PARTNERSHIP IV, L.P.

This FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL OPERATING PARTNERSHIP IV, L.P. (this “Amendment”), is made as of December 28, 2012 by and among American Realty Capital Trust IV, Inc., a Maryland corporation, in its capacity as the general partner (the “General Partner”) of American Realty Operating Partnership IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and American Realty Capital Advisors IV, LLC, the initial limited partner of the partnership, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Initial Limited Partner”).  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, dated as of November 12, 2012 (the “Partnership Agreement”).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 14.1 of the Partnership Agreement, the parties hereto desire to make certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement to specially allocate depreciation deductions to the Initial Limited Partner, who has agreed to bear the economic risk of loss with respect to such depreciation;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises made hereunder, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

		
	1.
	Section 4.1(e) of the Partnership Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following new Section 4.1(e) is substituted in its place:

“(e)    Except as otherwise may be expressly provided herein, (i) the Partners shall have no obligation to make any additional Capital Contributions or provide any additional funding to the Partnership (whether in the form of loans, repayments of loans or otherwise) and (ii) no Partner shall have any obligation to restore any deficit that may exist in its Capital Account, either upon a liquidation of the Partnership or otherwise.”

		
	2.
	Section 8.6(a) of the Partnership Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following sentence at the end thereof:

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Limited Partner shall not be permitted to exchange any portion of its Partnership Units pursuant to this subparagraph 8.6(a) unless and until the Initial Limited Partner does not have a deficit balance in its Capital Account.”

		
	3.
	Section 13.3 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following new Section 13.3 is substituted in its place:

“13.3    Obligation to Contribute Deficit
If any Partner (other than a holder of Restricted Class B Units and or the Initial Limited Partner) has a deficit balance in his, her, or its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year of liquidation occurs), such Partner shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. If a holder of Restricted Class B Units has a deficit balance in its Capital Account attributable to such Restricted Class B Units and/or the Initial Limited Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account attributable to and to the extent of the special allocation of Depreciation provided for in subparagraph 1(c)(iv) of Exhibit B (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year liquidation occurs), such holders of  Restricted Class B Units and/or the Initial Limited Partner shall restore and contribute to the capital of the Partnership the amount necessary to restore such deficit balance to zero. In the case of a holder of Restricted Class B Units, such contribution shall not exceed an amount equal to the excess of the cash distributions of Net Sales Proceeds made (if any) to such holder of Restricted Class B Units over the amount of Net Property Gain and Liquidating Gain allocated to such holder of Restricted Class B Units in accordance with subparagraph 1(c)(ii) of Exhibit B.  In the case of the Initial Limited Partner, such contribution shall not exceed the excess of the amount of Depreciation specially allocated to the Initial Limited Partner pursuant to subparagraph 1(c)(iv) of Exhibit B over the amount of Net Property Gain or Liquidation Gain allocated to the Initial Limited Partner in accordance with subparagraph 1(c)(v) of Exhibit B. This deficit restoration obligation is intended to comply with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3) of the Regulations and shall be satisfied before the later to occur of (x) the end of the taxable year in which the Partnership (or the interest of a Restricted Class B Unit Holder and/or the Initial Limited Partner) is liquidated, or (y) ninety (90) days after the date of the liquidation of the Partnership (or the interest of a Restricted Class B Unit Holder and/or the Initial Limited Partner), which amount shall be paid to creditors of the Partnership or, if the amount contributed exceeds the amount due creditors, shall be distributed to the Partners with positive Capital Account balances.”

		
	4.
	Clause (ii) of subparagraph 1(c) of Exhibit B of the Partnership Agreement is amended by adding after the text “and (v)” immediately after the text “subparagraph 1(c)(i)” in the first sentence.

		
	5.
	Subparagraph 1(c) of Exhibit B of the Partnership Agreement is amended by adding the following clauses after clause (iii): 

“(iv)    Special Allocation of Depreciation.  Depreciation shall be allocated first to the Initial Limited Partner until the cumulative amount of Depreciation allocated to the Initial Limited Partner pursuant to this subparagraph 1(c)(iv) for all years equals $10,000,000.
(v)    Special Allocation of Net Property Gain and Liquidating Gain.  After giving effect to the allocations in subparagraph 1(c)(i) and paragraph 2 and to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to subparagraph 2(b), but prior to any allocation under subparagraph 1(a), 1(b) and/or 1(c)(ii), Net Property Gain and Liquidating Gain shall be allocated first to the Initial Limited Partner to the extent of the cumulative amount of Depreciation allocated to the Initial Limited partner pursuant to subparagraph 1(c)(iv).”

SUBSCRIPTION ESCROW AGREEMENT

 

THIS SUBSCRIPTION ESCROW
AGREEMENT dated as of June 8, 2012 (this “Agreement”), is entered into among Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer
Manager”), American Realty Capital Trust IV, Inc. (the “Company”) and UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow
Agent”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company
intends to raise cash funds from investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to a public offering (the “Offering”)
of not less than 80,000 (the “Minimum Amount” ) nor more than 60,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 of
the Company (the “Securities”), pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-11 of the Company (No. 333-180274)
(as amended, the “Offering Document”) a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto.

 

WHEREAS, the Escrow
Agent is willing to accept appointment as escrow agent only for the expressed duties outlined herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be
legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.          Proceeds
to be Escrowed. On or before the first date of the Offering, the Company shall establish an escrow account with the Escrow
Agent to be invested in accordance with Section 7 hereof entitled “ESCROW ACCOUNT FOR THE BENEFIT OF INVESTORS FOR COMMON
STOCK OF AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL TRUST IV, INC.” (including such abbreviations as are required for the Escrow Agent’s
systems) (the “Escrow Account”). All funds received from subscribers of Securities (“Investors”, which
term shall also include Pennsylvania Investors and Tennessee Investors unless the context otherwise requires) in payment for the
Securities (“Investor Funds”) will be delivered to the Escrow Agent within one (1) business day following the day upon
which such Investor Funds are received by the Company or its agents, and shall, upon receipt by the Escrow Agent, be retained in
escrow by the Escrow Agent and invested as stated herein. During the term of this Agreement, the Company or its agents shall cause
all checks received by and made payable to it in payment for the Securities to be endorsed in favor of the Escrow Agent and delivered
to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account.

 

Proceeds received from
Pennsylvania Investors shall be accounted for separately in a subaccount entitled “Escrow Account for the Benefit of Pennsylvania
Investors for American Realty Capital Trust IV, Inc.” (including such abbreviations as are required for the Escrow Agent’s
systems) (the “Pennsylvania Escrow Account”), until such Pennsylvania Escrow Account has closed pursuant to Section
4. The Company shall, and shall cause its agents to, cooperate with the Escrow Agent in separately accounting for Investor Funds
from Pennsylvania Investors in the Pennsylvania Escrow Account, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon information
provided by the Company or its agents in this regard.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

Proceeds received from
Tennessee Investors shall be accounted for separately in a subaccount entitled “Escrow Account for the Benefit of Tennessee
Investors for American Realty Capital Trust IV, Inc.” (including such abbreviations as are required for the Escrow Agent’s
systems) (the “Tennessee Escrow Account,” and together with the Escrow Account and the Pennsylvania Escrow Account,
the “Company Escrow Accounts”), until such Tennessee Escrow Account has closed pursuant to Section 5. The Company shall,
and shall cause its agents to, cooperate with the Escrow Agent in separately accounting for Investor Funds from Tennessee Investors
in the Tennessee Escrow Account, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon information provided by the Company or its
agents in this regard.

 

The Escrow Agent shall
have no duty to make any disbursement, investment or other use of Investor Funds until and unless it has good and collected funds.
If any checks deposited in the Company Accounts are returned or prove uncollectible after the funds represented thereby have been
released by the Escrow Agent, then the Company shall promptly reimburse the Escrow Agent for any and all costs incurred for such,
upon request, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the returned checks to the Company. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty or
responsibility to enforce collection of any check delivered to it hereunder. The Escrow Agent reserves the right to deny, suspend
or terminate participation by an Investor to the extent the Escrow Agent deems it advisable or necessary to comply with applicable
laws or to eliminate practices that are not consistent with the purposes of the Offering.

 

2.          Investors.
Investors (including Pennsylvania and Tennessee Investors) will be instructed by the Dealer Manager or any soliciting dealers to
remit the purchase price in the form of checks (hereinafter “instruments of payment”) payable to the order of, or funds
wired in favor of, “UMB BANK, NA, ESCROW AGENT FOR AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL TRUST IV, INC.” Any checks made payable
to a party other than the Escrow Agent shall be returned to the soliciting dealer who submitted the check. By 12:00 p.m. (Noon)
the next business day after receipt of instruments of payment from the Offering, the Company or the Dealer Manager shall furnish
the Escrow Agent with a list of the Investors who have paid for the Securities showing the name, address, tax identification number,
the amount of Securities subscribed for purchase, the amount paid and whether such Investors are Pennsylvania Investors or Tennessee
Investors. The information comprising the identity of Investors shall be provided to the Escrow Agent in substantially the format
set forth in the “List of Investors” attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively
rely upon the List of Investors in determining whether Investors are Pennsylvania Investors or Tennessee Investors, and shall have
no duty to independently determine or verify the same.

 

When Soliciting Dealer’s
internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the subscription agreement and check were initially received
by Soliciting Dealer from the subscriber, Soliciting Dealer shall transmit the subscription agreement and check to the Escrow Agent
by the end of the next business day following receipt of the check and subscription agreement. When, pursuant to Soliciting Dealer’s
internal supervisory procedures, Soliciting Dealer’s final internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location
(the “Final Review Office”), Soliciting Dealer shall transmit the check and subscription agreement to the Final Review
Office by the end of the next business day following Soliciting Dealer’s receipt of the subscription agreement and check.
The Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its receipt of the subscription agreement and check,
forward both the subscription agreement and check to the Escrow Agent. If any subscription agreement solicited by Soliciting Dealer
is rejected by the Dealer Manager or the Company, then the subscription agreement and check will be returned to the rejected subscriber
within ten (10) business days from the date of rejection.

All Investor Funds
deposited in the Company Escrow Accounts shall not be subject to any liens or charges by the Company or the Escrow Agent, or judgments
or creditors’ claims against the Company, until and unless released to the Company as hereinafter provided. The Company understands
and agrees that the Company shall not be entitled to any Investor Funds on deposit in the Company Escrow Accounts and no such funds
shall become the property of the Company, or any other entity except as released to the Company pursuant to Sections 3, 4 or 5
hereto. The Escrow Agent will not use the information provided to it by the Company for any purpose other than to fulfill its obligations
as Escrow Agent. The Company and the Escrow Agent will treat all Investor information as confidential. The Escrow Agent shall not
be required to accept any Investor Funds which are not accompanied by the information on the List of Investors.

 

3.          Disbursement
of Funds. Once the Escrow Agent is in receipt of good and collected Investor Funds totaling at least the Minimum Amount from
Investors (excluding funds from Pennsylvania and Tennessee Investors), the Escrow Agent shall notify the Company of the same in
writing. Additionally, at the end of the third business day following the Termination Date (as defined in Section 6), the Escrow
Agent shall notify the Company of the amount of the Investor Funds received. If the Minimum Amount has been obtained on or before
the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company and, upon receiving acknowledgement of such notice and
written instructions from the Company’s President or Chief Financial Officer to disburse the Investor Funds, the Escrow Agent
shall disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account, except for amounts payable by the Company
to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Exhibit D to this Agreement that remain outstanding. The Escrow Agent agrees that funds in the
Escrow Account shall not be released to the Company until and unless the Escrow Agent receives written instructions to release
the funds from the Company’s President or Chief Financial Officer.

 

If the Minimum Amount
has not been obtained prior to the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall promptly following the Termination Date, but in no
event more than ten (10) business days after the Termination Date, refund to each Investor by check, funds deposited in the Escrow
Account, or shall return the instruments of payment delivered to Escrow Agent if such instruments have not been processed for collection
prior to such time, directly to each Investor at the address provided on the List of Investors. Included in the remittance shall
be a proportionate share of the income earned in the account allocable to each Investor’s investment in accordance with the
terms and conditions specified herein, except that in the case of Investors who have not provided an executed Form W-9 or substitute
Form W-9 (or the applicable substitute Form W-8 for foreign investors), the Escrow Agent shall withhold the applicable percentage
of the earnings attributable to those Investors in accordance with IRS regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent
shall not be required to remit any payments until funds represented by such payments have been collected by Escrow Agent.

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

If the Escrow Agent
receives written notice from the Company that the Company intends to reject an Investor’s subscription, the Escrow Agent
shall pay to the applicable Investor(s), within a reasonable time not to exceed ten (10) business days after receiving notice of
the rejection, by first class United States Mail at the address provided on the List of Investors, or at such other address as
shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent by the Investor in writing, all collected sums paid by the Investor for Securities and received
by the Escrow Agent, together with the interest earned on such Investor Funds (determined in accordance with the terms and conditions
specified herein).

 

4.          Disbursement
of Proceeds for Pennsylvania Investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, proceeds from Pennsylvania Investors will not count
towards meeting the Minimum Amount for purposes of Section 3. Proceeds received from Pennsylvania Investors will not be released
from the Pennsylvania Escrow Account until the Pennsylvania Minimum Amount is obtained. If the Pennsylvania Minimum Amount is obtained
at any time prior to the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company and, upon receiving acknowledgement
of such notice and written instructions from the Company’s President or Chief Financial Officer, the Escrow Agent shall disburse
to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Pennsylvania Escrow Account, except for amounts payable by the Company
to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Exhibit D to this Agreement that remain outstanding. The Escrow Agent agrees that funds in the
Pennsylvania Escrow Account shall not be released to the Company until and unless the Escrow Agent receives written instructions
to release the funds from the Company’s President or Chief Financial Officer.

 

If the Pennsylvania
Minimum Amount has not been obtained prior to the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall promptly refund to each Pennsylvania
Investor by check funds deposited in the Pennsylvania Escrow Account, or shall return the instruments of payment delivered to Escrow
Agent if such instruments have not been processed for collection prior to such time, directly to each Pennsylvania Investor at
the address provided on the List of Investors. Included in the remittance shall be a proportionate share of the income earned in
the account allocable to each Pennsylvania Investor’s investment in accordance with the terms and conditions specified herein,
except that in the case of Investors who have not provided an executed Form W-9 or substitute Form W-9, the Escrow Agent shall
withhold the applicable percentage of the earnings attributable to those Investors in accordance with IRS regulations. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit any payments until funds represented by such payments have been
collected by Escrow Agent.

 

If the Escrow Agent
is not in receipt of evidence of subscriptions accepted on or before the close of business on such date that is 120 days after
commencement of the Offering (the Company will notify the Escrow Agent in writing of the commencement date of the Offering) (the
“Initial Escrow Period”), and instruments of payment dated not later than that date, for the purchase of Securities
providing for total purchase proceeds from all nonaffiliated sources that equal or exceed the Pennsylvania Minimum Amount, the
Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company. Thereafter, the Company or its agents shall send to each Pennsylvania Investor
by certified mail within ten (10) calendar days after the end of the Initial Escrow Period a notification substantially in the
form of Exhibit F. If, pursuant to such notification, a Pennsylvania Investor requests the return of his or her Investor Funds
within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the notification (the “Request Period”), the Escrow Agent shall promptly
refund directly to each Pennsylvania Investor the collected funds deposited in the Pennsylvania Escrow Account on behalf of such
Pennsylvania Investor or shall return the instruments of payment delivered, but not yet processed for collection prior to such
time, to the address provided on the List of Investors, upon which the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely, together with interest
income earned as determined in accordance with the terms and conditions specified herein (which interest shall be paid within five
business days after the first business day of the succeeding month). Notwithstanding the above, if the Escrow Agent has not received
an executed Form W-9 or substitute Form W-9 for such Pennsylvania Investor, the Escrow Agent shall thereupon remit an amount to
such Pennsylvania Investor in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding the applicable percentage for backup withholding
required by the Internal Revenue Code, as then in effect, from any interest income earned on Investor Funds (determined in accordance
with the terms and conditions specified herein) attributable to such Pennsylvania Investor. However, the Escrow Agent shall not
be required to remit such payments until the Escrow Agent has collected funds represented by such payments.

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

The Investor Funds
of Pennsylvania Investors who do not request the return of their Investor Funds within the Request Period shall remain in the Pennsylvania
Escrow Account for successive 120-day escrow periods (a “Successive Escrow Period”), each commencing automatically
upon the termination of the prior Successive Escrow Period, and the Company and Escrow Agent shall follow the notification and
payment procedure set forth above with respect to the Initial Escrow Period for each Successive Escrow Period until the occurrence
of the earliest of (i) the Termination Date, (ii) the receipt and acceptance by the Company of subscriptions for the purchase of
Securities with total purchase proceeds that equal or exceed the Pennsylvania Minimum Amount and the disbursement of the Pennsylvania
Escrow Account on the terms specified herein, and (iii) all funds held in the Pennsylvania Escrow Account having been returned
to the Pennsylvania Investors in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

5.          Disbursement
of Proceeds for Tennessee Investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, proceeds from Tennessee Investors will not count towards
meeting the Minimum Amount for purposes of Section 3. Proceeds received from Tennessee Investors will not be released from the
Tennessee Escrow Account until the Tennessee Minimum Amount is obtained. If the Tennessee Minimum Amount is obtained at any time
prior to the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company and, upon receiving acknowledgement of such notice
and written instructions from the Company’s President or Chief Financial Officer, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to the
Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Tennessee Escrow Account, except for amounts payable by the Company to the
Escrow Agent pursuant to Exhibit D to this Agreement that remain outstanding. The Escrow Agent agrees that funds in the Tennessee
Escrow Account shall not be released to the Company until and unless the Escrow Agent receives written instructions to release
the funds from the Company’s President or Chief Financial Officer.

 

If the Tennessee Minimum
Amount has not been obtained prior to the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall promptly refund to each Tennessee Investor by
check funds deposited in the Tennessee Escrow Account, or shall return the instruments of payment delivered to Escrow Agent if
such instruments have not been processed for collection prior to such time, directly to each Tennessee Investor at the address
provided on the List of Investors. Included in the remittance shall be a proportionate share of the income earned in the account
allocable to each Tennessee Investor’s investment in accordance with the terms and conditions specified herein, except that
in the case of Investors who have not provided an executed Form W-9 or substitute Form W-9, the Escrow Agent shall withhold the
applicable percentage of the earnings attributable to those Investors in accordance with IRS regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit any payments until funds represented by such payments have been collected by Escrow
Agent.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

6.          Term
of Escrow. The “Termination Date” shall be the earliest of: (i) the Initial Escrow Break Date, if the Minimum Amount
has not been obtained prior to such date; (ii) the close of business on June 8, 2014, the two year anniversary of the date the
Offering Document was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iii) the date on which all funds held in the
Company Escrow Accounts are distributed to the Company or to Investors pursuant to Section 3, for Pennsylvania Investors, Section
4 and for Tennessee Investors, Section 5 and the Company has informed the Escrow Agent in writing to close each of the Company
Escrow Accounts; (iv) the date the Escrow Agent receives written notice from the Company that it is abandoning the sale of the
Securities; and (v) the date the Escrow Agent receives notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal
or state regulatory authority that a stop or similar order has been issued with respect to the Offering Document and has remained
in effect for at least twenty (20) days. After the Termination Date the Company and its agents shall not deposit, and the Escrow
Agent shall not accept, any additional amounts representing payments by prospective Investors.

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

7.          Duty
and Liability of the Escrow Agent. The sole duty of the Escrow Agent shall be to receive Investor Funds and hold them subject
to release, in accordance herewith, and the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to determine whether the Company or the Dealer
Manager is complying with requirements of this Agreement, the Offering or applicable securities or other laws in tendering the
Investor Funds to the Escrow Agent. No other agreement entered into between the parties, or any of them, shall be considered as
adopted or binding, in whole or in part, upon the Escrow Agent notwithstanding that any such other agreement may be referred to
herein or deposited with the Escrow Agent or the Escrow Agent may have knowledge thereof, including specifically but without limitation
any Offering Documents (including the subscription agreement and exhibits thereto), and the Escrow Agent’s rights and responsibilities
shall be governed solely by this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for or be required to enforce any of the
terms or conditions of any Offering Document (including the subscription agreement and exhibits thereto) or other agreement between
the Company and any other party. The Escrow Agent may conclusively rely upon and shall be protected in acting upon any statement,
certificate, notice, request, consent, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or liability to verify any such statement, certificate, notice,
request, consent, order or other document, and its sole responsibility shall be to act only as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and the Dealer Manager shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an authorized
signers form in the forms of Exhibit C and Exhibit C-1 to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to institute
or defend any action, suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement unless first indemnified to its satisfaction. The Escrow
Agent may consult counsel of its own choice with respect to any question arising under this Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall
not be liable for any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of such counsel. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for
any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the
Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of loss. The Escrow Agent is acting solely as
escrow agent hereunder and owes no duties, covenants or obligations, fiduciary or otherwise, to any other person by reason of this
Agreement, except as otherwise stated herein, and no implied duties, covenants or obligations, fiduciary or otherwise, shall be
read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. If any disagreement between any of the parties to this Agreement, or between
any of them and any other person, including any Investor, resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with
the matters covered by this Agreement, or if the Escrow Agent is in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder, the Escrow
Agent may, at its option, refuse to comply with any claims or demands on it, or refuse to take any other action hereunder, so long
as such disagreement continues or such doubt exists, and in any such event, the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any
way or to any person for its failure or refusal to act, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue so to refrain from acting
until (i) the rights of all interested parties shall have been fully and finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction,
or (ii) all differences shall have been adjudged and all doubt resolved by agreement among all of the interested persons, and the
Escrow Agent shall have been notified thereof in writing signed by all such persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow
Agent may in its discretion obey the order, judgment, decree or levy of any court, whether with or without jurisdiction and the
Escrow Agent is hereby authorized in its sole discretion to comply with and obey any such orders, judgments, decrees or levies.
If any controversy should arise with respect to this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall have the right, at its option, to institute
an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights of the parties. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ESCROW
AGENT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF THE ESCROW AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS
OF THE FORM OF ACTION. The parties agree that the Escrow Agent has no role in the preparation of the Offering Documents (including
the subscription agreement and exhibits thereto) and makes no representations or warranties with respect to the information contained
therein or omitted therefrom. The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation, duty or liability with respect to compliance with any
federal or state securities, disclosure or tax laws concerning the Offering Documents (including the subscription agreement and
exhibits thereto) or the issuance, offering or sale of the Securities. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to monitor
the application and use of the Investor Funds once transferred to the Company, that being the sole obligation and responsibility
of the Company.

 

8.          Escrow
Agent’s Fee. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services as stated in the fee schedule attached
hereto as Exhibit D, which compensation shall be paid by the Company. The fee agreed upon for the services rendered hereunder is
intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent’s services as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that
if the conditions for the disbursement of funds under this Agreement are not fulfilled, or the Escrow Agent renders any material
service not contemplated in this Agreement, or there is any assignment of interest in the subject matter of this Agreement, or
any material modification hereof, or if any material controversy arises hereunder, or the Escrow Agent is made a party to any litigation
pertaining to this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, then the Escrow Agent shall be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary
services and reimbursed for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, occasioned by any delay, controversy,
litigation or event, and the same shall be recoverable from the Company. The Company’s obligations under this Section 8 shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the assignment or termination of this Agreement.

9.          Investment
of Investor Funds. The Investor Funds shall be deposited in the Company Escrow Accounts in accordance with Section 3, for Pennsylvania
Investors, Section 4 and Tennessee Investors, Section 5. The Escrow Agent is hereby directed to invest all funds received under
this Agreement, including principal and interest in, the UMB Bank Money Market Deposit Account, as directed in writing in the form
of Exhibit E to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall invest the Investor Funds in alternative investments in accordance with
written instructions as may from time to time be provided to the Escrow Agent and signed by the Company. In the absence of written
investment instructions from the Company to the contrary, the Escrow Agent is hereby directed to invest the Investor Funds in the
UMB Bank Money Market Deposit Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor Funds shall not be invested in anything other than
“Short Term Investments” in compliance with Rule 15c2-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The following
are not permissible investments: (a) money market mutual funds; (b) corporate debt or equity securities; (c) repurchase agreements;
(d) banker’s acceptance; (e) commercial paper; and (f) municipal securities. Any interest received by the Escrow Agent
with respect to the Investor Funds, including reinvested interest shall become part of the Investor Funds, and shall be disbursed
pursuant to Section 3, for Pennsylvania Investors, Section 4 and Tennessee Investors, Section 5.

 

The Escrow Agent shall
be entitled to sell or redeem any such investments as necessary to make any payments or distributions required under this Agreement.
The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment made pursuant to this
Agreement, or for any loss resulting from the sale of such investment. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not providing
investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.

 

The Company on the
date of this Agreement shall provide the Escrow Agent with a certified tax identification number by furnishing appropriate IRS
form W-9 or W-8 (or substitute Form W-9 or W-8) and other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may reasonably request, including
without limitation a tax form for each Investor. The Company understands that if such tax reporting documentation is not so certified
to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to withhold a portion of
any interest or other income earned on the Investor Funds pursuant to this Agreement. For tax reporting purposes, all interest
and other income from investment of the Investor Funds shall, as of the end of each calendar year and to the extent required by
the Internal Revenue Service, be reported as having been earned by the party to whom such interest or other income is distributed,
in the year in which it is distributed.

 

The Company agrees
to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any taxes, additions for late payment, interest, penalties and
other expenses that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to any payment or other activities under this Agreement
unless any such tax, addition for late payment, interest, penalties and other expenses shall be determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have been caused by the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The terms of this Section
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.
