(b)          While
information and recommendations supplied to the Company shall, in the Manager’s reasonable and good faith judgment, be appropriate
under the circumstances and in light of the investment objectives and policies of the Company, they may be different from the information

of the Manager to others. The Company shall have the benefit of the Manager’s best judgment and effort in rendering services
hereunder and, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Manager shall not undertake activities that, in its good faith judgment, will
adversely affect the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(c)          In
the event of a Termination Without Cause of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof, for a period
of two (2) years from and after the date of such termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not (and shall cause each of
its Subsidiaries to not), without the consent of the Manager, employ or otherwise retain (directly or indirectly by any of the
Company’s Subsidiaries) any employee of the Manager or any of its Affiliates on the date of such termination or any Person
who shall have been employed by the Manager or any of its Affiliates at any time within the two (2) year period immediately preceding
the date on which such Person commences employment with or is otherwise retained by the Company or its Subsidiary. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to any damages, the Manager shall be entitled to equitable relief for any violation of
this Section 3(c) by the Company or its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, injunctive relief.

of the Company or any Subsidiary, and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and disburse funds from any such
account or accounts, under such policies, terms and conditions as the Company may establish and the Board may approve. The Manager
shall from time to time render appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to the Board and, upon request, shall provide
information regarding such accountings to the auditors of the Company or any Subsidiary.

(a)          The

and records shall be accessible for inspection by representatives of the Company or any Subsidiary at any time during normal business
hours. The Manager shall keep confidential any and all non-public information, written or oral, obtained by it in connection with
the services rendered hereunder (“Confidential Information”) and shall not use Confidential Information except
in furtherance of its duties under this Agreement or disclose Confidential Information, in whole or in part, to any Person other
than (i) to its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or advisors who need to know such Confidential
Information for the purpose of rendering services hereunder, (ii) to appraisers, financing sources and others in the ordinary
course of the Company’s business ((i) and (ii) collectively, “Manager Permitted Disclosure Parties”),
(iii) in connection with any governmental or regulatory filings of the Company, or filings with NASDAQ or other applicable securities
exchanges or markets, or disclosure or presentations to Company investors (subject to compliance with Regulation FD), (iv) to governmental
officials having jurisdiction over the Company, (v) as requested by law or legal process to which the Manager or any Person to
whom disclosure is permitted hereunder is a party, or (vi) with the consent of the Company. The Manager agrees to inform each of
its Manager Permitted Disclosure Parties of the non-public nature of the Confidential Information and to obtain agreement from
such Persons to treat such Confidential Information in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

    	11

    	 

    

 

(b)          Nothing
herein shall prevent any Manager Permitted Disclosure Party from disclosing Confidential Information (i) upon the order of any
court or administrative agency, (ii) upon the request or demand of, or pursuant to any law or regulation to, any regulatory agency
or authority, (iii) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, or (iv) to its legal
counsel or independent auditors; provided, however that with respect to clauses (i) and (ii), it is agreed that,
so long as not legally prohibited, the Manager will provide the Company with prompt written notice of such order, request or demand
so that the Company may seek, at its sole expense, an appropriate protective order and/or waive the Manager Permitted Disclosure
Party compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, failing the entry of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver
hereunder, the Manager Permitted Disclosure Party is required to disclose Confidential Information, the Manager Permitted Disclosure
Party may disclose only that portion of such information that is legally required without liability hereunder; provided,
that the Manager Permitted Disclosure Party agrees to exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance
that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, each of the following shall be deemed to be excluded from provisions hereof: any Confidential
Information that (A) is available to the public from a source other than the Manager, (B) is released in writing by the Company
to the public (except to the extent exempt under Regulation FD) or to persons who are not under similar obligation of confidentiality
to the Company, or (C) is obtained by the Manager from a third-party which, to the best of the Manager’s knowledge,
does not constitute a breach by such third-party of an obligation of confidence with respect to the Confidential Information disclosed.
The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of one year.

 

Section 6.
Compensation.

 

(a)          For
the services rendered under this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Base Management Fee and the Incentive Compensation to the
Manager. The Manager will not receive any compensation for the period prior to the Closing Date other than expenses incurred and
reimbursed pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

 

(b)          The
parties acknowledge that the Base Management Fee is intended to compensate the Manager for certain expenses not otherwise reimbursable
under Section 7 below in order for the Manager to provide the Company the investment advisory services and general management
services rendered under this Agreement.

 

(c)          The
Company shall pay a monthly Base Management Fee to the Manager or its permitted assignees as compensation for services rendered
in connection with this Agreement.  The Base Management Fee shall be payable monthly, in advance, in cash or shares of Common
Stock, at the option of the Manager, in an amount calculated as follows: with respect to the sum of the average unadjusted book
value (before reduction for depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and cumulative acquisition costs charged to expense
in accordance with GAAP) of all Real Estate Assets held by the Company as of the last day of the immediately preceding month, (i)
one twelfth of 0.50% of the lesser of such sum or $3.0 billion and (ii) one twelfth of 0.40% of the excess of such sum over $3.0
billion, if any.  The Base Management Fee will be pro rated for any partial month. The Manager shall calculate each monthly
installment of the Base Management Fee, and deliver such calculation to the Company, within ten (10) days following the last day
of each calendar month for which a Base Management Fee is payable. The Company shall pay the Manager each installment of the Base
Management Fee within five (5) Business Days after the date of delivery to the Company of such computations.

 

(d)          The
Incentive Compensation shall be payable in arrears, in quarterly installments commencing with the quarter in which this Agreement
is executed. The Manager shall compute each quarterly installment of the Incentive Compensation within forty-five (45) days after
the end of the calendar quarter with respect to which such installment is payable. A copy of the computations made by the Manager
to calculate such installment shall thereafter promptly be delivered to the Board and, upon such delivery, payment of such installment
of the Incentive Compensation shown therein shall be due and payable no later than the date which is five (5) Business Days after
the date of delivery to the Board of such computations.

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

(e)          Each
installment of the Incentive Compensation shall be payable as follows:

 

(i)          fifty
percent (50%) of the Incentive Compensation will be payable in shares of Common Stock; provided, however, the percentage
of the Incentive Compensation payable in shares of Common Stock is subject to the following: (1) the ownership of such shares by
the Manager does not violate the limit on ownership of Common Stock set forth in the Company’s Governing Instruments, after
giving effect to any waiver from such limit that the Board may grant to the Manager in the future and (2) the Company’s
issuance of such shares to the Manager complies with all applicable restrictions under U.S. federal securities laws and the rules
of NASDAQ; and

 

(ii)         the
remainder will be payable in cash.

 

(f)          The
number of shares of Common Stock payable as the Incentive Compensation to be issued to the Manager will be equal to the dollar
amount of the portion of the quarterly installment of the Incentive Compensation payable in shares of Common Stock divided by a
value determined as follows:

 

(i)          if
the Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the Common
Stock on such exchange on the five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the quarterly installment of the Incentive Compensation
is paid;

 

(ii)         if
the Common Stock is not traded on a securities exchange but is actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be
the average of the closing bids or sales prices, as applicable, on the five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the quarterly
installment of the Incentive Compensation is paid; and

 

(iii)        if
the Common Stock is neither traded on a securities exchange nor actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be the fair market
value thereof, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors) of the Company.

 

(g)          If
at any time the Manager shall, in connection with a determination of the value of the Common Stock made by the Board pursuant to
Section 6(f)(iii) hereof, (i) dispute such determination in good faith by more than five percent (5%), and (ii) such dispute
cannot be resolved between the Independent Directors and the Manager within ten (10) Business Days after the Manager provides written
notice to the Company of such dispute (the “Valuation Notice”), then the matter shall be resolved by an independent
appraiser of recognized standing selected jointly by the Independent Directors and the Manager within not more than twenty (20)
days after the Valuation Notice. In the event the Independent Directors and the Manager cannot agree with respect to such selection
within the aforesaid twenty (20) day time-frame, the Independent Directors shall select one such independent appraiser and the
Manager shall select one independent appraiser within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the twenty (20) day period,
with one additional such appraiser (the “Last Appraiser”) to be selected by the appraisers so designated within
five (5) Business Days after their selection. Any valuation decision made by the Last Appraiser shall be deemed final and binding
upon the Board and the Manager and shall be delivered to the Manager and the Board within not more than fifteen (15) days after
the selection of the Last Appraiser. The expenses of the appraisal shall be paid by the party with the estimate which deviated
the furthest from the final valuation decision made by the independent appraisers.

Section 8.
Limits of the Manager’s Responsibility.

 

(a)          The
Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder in good faith and
shall not be responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendations of the Manager,
including as set forth in the Investment Guidelines. The Manager and its Affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees, partners,
members, stockholders, other equity holders, agents and representatives of the Manager and its Affiliates (each, a “Manager
Indemnified Party”), will not be liable to the Company, any Subsidiary, the Board, the Company’s stockholders or
any Subsidiary’s stockholders, partners or members for any acts or omissions by any Manager Indemnified Party performed in
accordance with and pursuant to this Agreement, except by reason of any act or omission constituting bad faith, willful misconduct,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties under this Agreement on the part of such Manager Indemnified Party. The Company
shall, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless each Manager Indemnified Party, of and from any and all
expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) (collectively “Losses”) in respect of or arising from any acts or omissions of such Manager Indemnified
Party performed in good faith under this Agreement and not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of duties on the part of such Manager Indemnified Party under this Agreement. In addition, (i) the Manager will not be
liable for trade errors that may result from ordinary negligence, including, without limitation, errors in the investment decision
making process or in the trade process and (ii) the Company shall advance funds to a Manager Indemnified Party for legal fees and
other costs and expenses incurred as a result of any claim, suit, action or proceeding for which indemnification is being sought,
provided that such Manager Indemnified Party undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable
legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Manager Indemnified Party is found pursuant to a final and non-appealable
order or judgment to not be entitled to indemnification.

 

(b)          The
Manager shall, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and the directors, officers and stockholders
of the Company and each Person, if any, controlling the Company (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”; a Manager
Indemnified Party and a Company Indemnified Party are each sometimes hereinafter referred to as an “ Indemnified Party”)
of and from any and all Losses in respect of or arising from (i) any acts or omissions of the Manager constituting bad faith, willful
misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duties of the Manager under this Agreement or (ii) any claims by the Manager’s
employees relating to the terms and conditions of their employment by the Manager.

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

(c)          In
case any such claim, suit, action or proceeding (a “Claim”) is brought against any Indemnified Party in respect
of which indemnification may be sought by such Indemnified Party pursuant hereto, the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written
notice thereof to the indemnifying party, which notice shall include all documents and information in the possession of or under
the control of such Indemnified Party reasonably necessary for the evaluation and/or defense of such Claim and shall specifically
state that indemnification for such Claim is being sought under this Section; provided, however, that the failure of the
Indemnified Party to so notify the indemnifying party shall not limit or affect such Indemnified Party’s rights other than
pursuant to this Section. Upon receipt of such notice of Claim (together with such documents and information from such Indemnified
Party), the indemnifying party shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith defend any such Claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, which counsel may, without limiting the rights of such Indemnified Party pursuant to the
next succeeding sentence of this Section 8(c), also represent the indemnifying party in such investigation, action or proceeding.
In the alternative, such Indemnified Party may elect to conduct the defense of the Claim, if (i) such Indemnified Party reasonably
determines that the conduct of its defense by the indemnifying party could be materially prejudicial to its interests, (ii) the
indemnifying party refuses to assume such defense (or fails to give written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days
of receipt of a notice of Claim that the indemnifying party assumes such defense), or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed,
in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, to defend the Claim in good faith. The indemnifying party may settle any
Claim against such Indemnified Party without such Indemnified Party’s consent, provided (i) such settlement is without any
Losses whatsoever to such Indemnified Party, (ii) the settlement does not include or require any admission of liability or culpability
by such Indemnified Party and (iii) the indemnifying party obtains an effective written release of liability for such Indemnified
Party from the party to the Claim with whom such settlement is being made, which release must be reasonably acceptable to such
Indemnified Party, and a dismissal with prejudice with respect to all claims made by the party against such Indemnified Party in
connection with such Claim. The applicable Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying
party’s sole cost and expense, in connection with the defense or settlement of any Claim in accordance with the terms hereof.
If such Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to this Section 8(c) to elect to defend such Claim by counsel of its own
choosing and so elects, then the indemnifying party shall be responsible for any good faith settlement of such Claim entered into
by such Indemnified Party. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no Indemnified Party may pay or settle any
Claim and seek reimbursement therefor under this Section 8(c).

 

(d)          The
provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.
No Joint Venture. The Company and the Manager are not partners or joint venturers with each other and nothing herein shall
be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.

 

Section 10.
Term; Renewal; Termination Without Cause.

 

(a)          This
Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and shall continue in operation, unless terminated in accordance with the
terms hereof, until the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Initial Term”). After the Initial Term,
this Agreement shall be deemed renewed automatically each year for an additional one-year period (an “Automatic Renewal
Term”) unless the Company or the Manager elects not to renew this Agreement in accordance with Section 10(b) or
Section 10(d), respectively.

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

(b)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon written notice provided to the Manager no later than 180 days prior
to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Automatic Renewal Term (the “Termination Notice”), the Company
may, without cause, in connection with the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Automatic Renewal Term, decline to
renew this Agreement (any such nonrenewal, a “Termination Without Cause”) upon the affirmative vote of at least
two-thirds of the Independent Directors that includes a finding by such two-thirds of the Independent Directors that either (1)
there has been unsatisfactory performance by the Manager that is materially detrimental to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole or (2) the Base Management Fee and Incentive Compensation payable to the Manager are not fair, subject to Section
10(c) below. The Company may terminate this Agreement for cause pursuant to Section 12 hereof even after providing
a Termination Notice.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 10(b), if the reason for nonrenewal specified in the Termination Notice is that two-thirds of
the Independent Directors have determined that the Base Management Fee or the Incentive Compensation payable to the Manager is
unfair, the Company shall not have the foregoing nonrenewal right in the event the Manager agrees that it will continue to perform
its duties hereunder during the Automatic Renewal Term that would commence upon the expiration of the Initial Term or then current
Automatic Renewal Term at a fee that at least two-thirds of the Independent Directors determine to be fair; provided, however,
the Manager shall have the right to renegotiate the Base Management Fee and/or the Incentive Compensation, by delivering to
the Company, not less than 120 days prior to the pending Effective Termination Date, written notice (a “Notice of Proposal
to Negotiate”) of its intention to renegotiate the Base Management Fee and/or the Incentive Compensation. Thereupon,
the Company and the Manager shall endeavor to negotiate the Base Management Fee and/or the Incentive Compensation in good faith.
Provided that the Company and the Manager agree to a revised Base Management Fee, Incentive Compensation or other compensation
structure within sixty (60) days following the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Proposal to Negotiate, the Termination
Notice from the Company shall be deemed of no force and effect, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect on the
terms stated herein, except that the Base Management Fee, the Incentive Compensation or other compensation structure shall be the
revised Base Management Fee, Incentive Compensation or other compensation structure as then agreed upon by the Company and the
Manager. The Company and the Manager agree to execute and deliver an amendment to this Agreement setting forth such revised Base
Management Fee, Incentive Compensation, or other compensation structure promptly upon reaching an agreement regarding same. In
the event that the Company and the Manager are unable to agree to a revised Base Management Fee, Incentive Compensation, or other
compensation structure during such sixty (60) day period, this Agreement shall terminate on the Effective Termination Date.

 

(d)          No
later than 180 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Automatic Renewal Term, the Manager may deliver
written notice to the Company informing it of the Manager’s intention to decline to renew this Agreement, whereupon this
Agreement shall not be renewed and extended and this Agreement shall terminate effective on the anniversary date of this Agreement
next following the delivery of such notice.

 

(e)          Except
as set forth in this Section 10, a nonrenewal of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without any
further liability or obligation of either party to the other, except as provided in Section 3(c), Section 5, Section
7, Section 8 and Section 14 of this Agreement.

 

(f)          The
Manager shall cooperate with the Company in executing an orderly transition of the management of the Company’s consolidated
assets to a new manager.

Section 11.
Assignments.

 

(a)          Assignments
by the Manager. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, in whole or in part, by the Manager,
unless such assignment is consented to in writing by the Company with the consent of a majority of the Independent Directors. Any
such permitted assignment shall bind the assignee under this Agreement in the same manner as the Manager is bound, and the Manager
shall be liable to the Company for all acts or omissions of the assignee under any such assignment. In addition, the assignee shall
execute and deliver to the Company a counterpart of this Agreement naming such assignee as the Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Manager may, without the approval of the Company’s Independent Directors, (i) assign this Agreement to an Affiliate of
the Manager and (ii) delegate to one or more of its Affiliates the performance of any of its responsibilities hereunder so long
as it remains liable for any such Affiliate’s performance, in each case so long as assignment or delegation does not require
the Company’s approval under the Investment Company Act (but if such approval is required, the Company shall not unreasonably
withhold, condition or delay its consent). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude any pledge, hypothecation or other
transfer of any amounts payable to the Manager under this Agreement.

 

(b)          Assignments
by the Company. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of the Manager, except
in the case of assignment by the Company to another REIT or other organization which is a successor (by merger, consolidation,
purchase of assets, or other transaction) to the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound under this Agreement
and by the terms of such assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound under this Agreement.

 

Section 12.
Termination for Cause.

 

(a)          The
Company may terminate this Agreement effective upon 30 days’ prior written notice of termination from the Company to the
Manager if (i) the Manager, its agents or its assignees breaches any material provision of this Agreement and such breach shall
continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof specifying such breach and requesting that the same be remedied in
such 30-day period (or 45 days after written notice of such breach if the Manager takes steps to cure such breach within 30 days
of the written notice), (ii) there is a commencement of any proceeding relating to the Manager’s Bankruptcy or insolvency,
including an order for relief in an involuntary bankruptcy case or the Manager authorizing or filing a voluntary bankruptcy petition,
(iii) any Manager Change of Control which a majority of the Independent Directors determines is materially detrimental to the Company
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iv) the dissolution of the Manager, or (v) the Manager commits fraud against the Company,
misappropriates or embezzles funds of the Company, or acts, or fails to act, in a manner constituting bad faith, willful misconduct,
gross negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that if
any of the actions or omissions described in this clause (v) are caused by an employee and/or officer of the Manager or one of
its Affiliates and the Manager takes all necessary and appropriate action against such person and cures the damage caused by such
actions or omissions within 30 days of the Manager’s actual knowledge of its commission or omission, the Company shall not
have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12(a)(v).

 

(b)          The
Manager may terminate this Agreement effective upon 60 days’ prior written notice of termination to the Company in the event
that the Company shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, condition or covenant contained in this Agreement
and such default shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof specifying such default and requesting that
the same be remedied in such 30-day period.

 

(c)          The
Manager may terminate this Agreement if the Company becomes required to register as an investment company under the Investment
Company Act, with such termination deemed to occur immediately before such event.

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

Section 13.
Action Upon Termination. From and after the effective date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 10,
11, or 12 of this Agreement, the Manager shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder, but
shall be paid all compensation accruing to the date of termination. Upon any such termination, the Manager shall forthwith:

 

(a)          after
deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled, pay over to the Company or
a Subsidiary all money collected and held for the account of the Company or a Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(b)          deliver
to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by
it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board with respect to the Company and any Subsidiaries;
and

 

(c)          deliver
to the Board all property and documents of the Company and any Subsidiaries then in the custody of the Manager.

 

Section 14.
Release of Money or Other Property Upon Written Request.

 

The Manager agrees
that any money or other property of the Company (which such term, for the purposes of this Section 14, shall be deemed to
include any and all of its Subsidiaries, if any) held by the Manager shall be held by the Manager as custodian for the Company,
and the Manager’s records shall be appropriately and clearly marked to reflect the ownership of such money or other property
by the Company. Upon the receipt by the Manager of a written request signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company requesting
the Manager to release to the Company any money or other property then held by the Manager for the account of the Company under
this Agreement, the Manager shall release such money or other property to the Company within a reasonable period of time, but in
no event later than 60 days following such request. Upon delivery of such money or other property to the Company, the Manager shall
not be liable to the Company, the Board, or the Company’s stockholders or partners for any acts or omissions by the Company
in connection with the money or other property released to the Company in accordance with this Section 14. The Company shall
indemnify the Manager, its directors, officers, stockholders, employees and agents against any and all Losses which arise in connection
with the Manager’s proper release of such money or other property to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section
14. Indemnification pursuant to this provision shall be in addition to any right of the Manager to indemnification under Section
8 of this Agreement.

Section 16.
The American Realty Capital Name.

 

The Manager
and its Affiliates have or may have a proprietary interest in the names “American Realty Capital,” “ARC”
and “AR Capital.”  The Manager hereby grants to the Company, to the extent of any proprietary interest the
Manager 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 Manager 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, conditioned or delayed. Accordingly, and in recognition of this
right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain the Manager or one of its Affiliates to perform management services for the
Company, the Company will, promptly after receipt of written request from the Manager, 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 Manager, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Manager 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 Manager 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 Manager 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 Manager 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.”

Exhibit A

 

Investment
Guidelines

 

1.          No
investment shall be made that would cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code.

 

2.          No
investment shall be made that would cause the Company to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

 

3.          The
Company’s investments shall be in the Target Assets.

 

4.          Until
appropriate investments in the Target Assets are identified, the Manager may invest the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and any future offerings of the Company’s securities for cash in interest-bearing, short-term investments and money market
accounts and/or funds, subject to the requirements for the Company’s qualification as a REIT under the Code.

 

5.          Before
issuing any final form of commitment to acquire a Real Estate Asset, the transaction must be approved by the Manager Investment
Committee.

 

6.          Any
proposed investment in a Real Estate Asset must be approved by a majority of the Independent Directors (or a committee established
by the Independent Directors for this purpose). If a proposed investment in a Real Estate Asset is for less than $10 million, such
approval may be sought via electronic board meetings, which entails emailing of the applicable materials to the Independent Directors
(or the members of the committee established by the Independent Directors for this purpose) and any questions to be addressed in
advance of voting on the proposed investment in a Real Estate Asset and requesting a response for approval, and whereby the Independent
Directors (or the members of the committee established by the Independent Directors for this purpose) cast their votes in favor
or against a proposed acquisition via email.

 

These Investment Guidelines
may be amended, restated, modified, supplemented or waived by the Board (which must include a majority of the Independent Directors)
without the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

Advisory Agreement) in connection with the sale of any real estate assets in any transaction or series of transactions. The Advisor
hereby agrees to waive its right to the Property Disposition Fee in connection with the Transaction.

 

		2.	Pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Company OP Agreement, the Special Limited Partner is entitled to certain subordinated distributions
of net sales proceeds from the Company OP (the “SLP Interest”). Upon an Investment Liquidity Event (as defined
in the Company OP Agreement), the Special Limited Partner’s right to receive its SLP Interest is accelerated to the time
of such Investment Liquidity Event and the amount of the SLP Interest is fixed as of the Investment Liquidity Event (the “Investment
Liquidity Amount”). The Company, the Company OP and the Special Limited Partner hereby acknowledge and agree that the
Transaction is an Investment Liquidity Event.

 

		3.	Pursuant to Section 8.7(b) of the Company OP Agreement, if the Special Limited Partner is entitled to the Investment Liquidity
Amount, the Special Limited Partner has the right to contribute its SLP Interest to the Company OP in exchange for a number of
Company OP Units equal to the quotient of (a) the Investment Liquidity Amount divided by (b) the fair market value of one share
of Company Common Stock on the date of the Investment Liquidity Event. The Special Limited Partner hereby elects to contribute
its SLP Interest to the Company OP in exchange for Company OP Units and the Company, the Company OP and the Special Limited Partner
hereby acknowledge and agree that such contribution and exchange shall be made pursuant to customary contribution or assignment
documentation and shall be effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction. Upon the consummation of the Transaction,
each Company OP Unit will automatically be converted into 0.95 Parent OP Units as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Special
Limited Partner hereby acknowledges and agrees that these Parent OP Units are subject to a minimum one-year holding period prior
to being exchangeable into Parent Common Stock.

 

		4.	Pursuant to Section 10(h) of the Advisory Agreement and Section 16.1 of the Company OP Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to
receive Class B Units (as defined in the Company OP Agreement) in the Company OP within 30 days of the end of each quarter, commencing
with the calendar quarter beginning July 1, 2012. The Class B Units are issued pursuant to the terms of the Company OP Agreement
quarterly in arrears, subject to the approval of the Company’s board of directors. As of the date hereof, 145,022 Class B
Units have been issued to the Advisor. Furthermore, it is expected that additional Class B Units will be issued to the Advisor
in connection with its asset management services through and including the Closing Date. When issued, the Class B Units are subject
to forfeiture until both an economic hurdle and a performance hurdle have been met in accordance with Section 16.2(a) of the Company
OP Agreement. It is expected that the economic hurdle will be met prior to the Closing Date. The performance hurdle will be met
if the Advisor continues to be the Advisor at the Closing of the Transaction. Accordingly, the Company, the Company OP and the
Advisor hereby acknowledge and agree that, provided the economic hurdle is met prior to the Closing Date and the Advisor continues
to be the advisor under the Advisory Agreement as contemplated in paragraph 7 hereof, both the economic hurdle and the performance
hurdle will be met upon the consummation of the Transaction, and at such time no Class B Units held by the Advisor will continue
to be subject to forfeiture.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

		5.	Pursuant to Section 16.4 of the Company OP Agreement, the Class B Units are convertible automatically into Company OP Units
at such time as the Advisor’s capital account with respect to a Class B Unit is equal to the average capital account balance
attributable to an outstanding Company OP Unit (as determined on a unit-by-unit basis). Pursuant to subparagraph 1(c)(ii) of Exhibit
B of the Company OP Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to special allocations of unrealized appreciation in the value of the Company
OP’s assets. Furthermore, pursuant to Section 16.4(b) of the Company OP Agreement, the Advisor has the right up to twice
per year to cause the Company OP to adjust the book value of its assets to fair market value, a “book-up”, by making
a capital contribution of more than a de minimis amount to the Company OP in exchange for Company OP Units. The Advisor
hereby elects to make such a capital contribution to the Company OP in exchange for Company OP Units prior to the consummation
of the Transaction, if necessary to be effective, in order to cause such an adjustment and allow it to convert the maximum number
of Class B Units to Company OP Units in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, and the Company and the Company OP
hereby acknowledge and agree to allow the Advisor to make such capital contributions in order to effectuate a book-up prior to
the Closing Date. The amount of the capital contribution, if any, and the number of Company OP Units issuable will be agreed to
in good faith by the Company, the Company OP and the Advisor. Upon the consummation of the Transaction, each Company OP Unit will
automatically be converted into 0.95 Parent OP Units as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Advisor agrees that these Parent
OP Units are subject to a minimum one-year holding period prior to being exchangeable into Parent Common Stock.

 

		6.	The Company, the Company OP and the Advisor hereby acknowledge and agree that there may be a number of unconverted Class B
Units on the Closing Date and that, in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Merger Agreement, these unconverted Class B Units will
be converted automatically into Parent Class B Units.

 

		7.	In order to facilitate the smooth transition of advisory services following the consummation of the Transaction, the Company,
the Company OP and the Advisor agree that the Advisory Agreement will be extended for a 60 day period following the Closing Date
pursuant to the terms substantially in the form Amendment and Acknowledgement of Termination of Second Amended and Restated Advisory
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

		8.	In order to facilitate the smooth transition of property management services following the consummation of the Transaction,
the Company, the Company OP and the Manager agree that the Property Management and Leasing Agreement will be extended for a 60
day period following the Closing Date pursuant to the terms substantially in the form Amendment and Acknowledgement of Termination
of Property Management and Leasing Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B.

 

The parties hereto
agree that this letter agreement satisfies any notice requirements with respect to (a) the contribution of the SLP Interest to
the Company OP in exchange for Company OP Units and (b) the election to cause a book-up event.

 

Each of the Company,
Parent, the Company OP, the Special Limited Partner, the Advisor and the Manager, as applicable, represent and warrant that (a)
each has the necessary power and authority to enter into this letter agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder and (b)
no consents, approvals, authorizations or other actions are required for the Company, Parent, the Company OP, the Special Limited
Partner, the Advisor or the Manager to execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under this letter agreement.

 

This letter agreement
may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument executed by each of the parties hereto. This letter agreement
may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and together with this letter agreement
shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. This letter agreement shall terminate concurrently with any termination of the
Merger Agreement without a Closing. This letter agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York (without reference to the choice of law provisions).

(this “Amendment”) is entered into as of [l] by and among American
Realty Capital Trust III, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), American Realty Capital Operating Partnership
III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company OP”) and American Realty Capital Advisors III, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company (the “Advisor”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.           WHEREAS,
the Company, the Company OP and the Advisor are party to that certain Second Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, dated as
of November 13, 2012 (the “Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which the day-to-day business and affairs of the
Company are managed by the Advisor.

 

B.           WHEREAS,
the Company and the Company OP have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 14, by and among
American Realty Capital Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Parent”), Tiger Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), ARC Properties Operating
Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Parent OP”), the Company and the Company OP (the “Merger
Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will be merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger
Sub being the surviving entity, and the Company OP will be merged with and into the Parent OP, with the Parent OP being the surviving
entity (the “Transaction”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

C.           WHEREAS,
(i) pursuant to Section 24 of the Advisory Agreement, the parties hereto desire to amend the Advisory Agreement effective immediately
before the consummation of the Transaction and (ii) pursuant to Section 17 of the Advisory Agreement, the parties hereto desire
to provide to the Advisor notice of termination of the Advisory Agreement.

 

AGREEMENT

 

In consideration of
the mutual agreements and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

		1.	Amendment of the Advisory Agreement.

 

(a)          Section
1 of the Advisory Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new definitions in appropriate alphabetical order:

 

““Closing
Date” has the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement, dated as of [l],
by and among American Realty Capital Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, ARC Properties Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership, Tiger Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the Company and the Operating Partnership.”

 

““Post-Merger
Period” means the period following the Closing Date through and including the Termination Date.”

 

““Termination
Date” means the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date.”

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

(b)          Section
10(d) of the Advisory Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

 

“(d)          Asset
Management Fee.  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 up to and including June 30, 2012 in an amount
equal to 0.75% per annum of the Cost of Assets; provided, however, that the Asset Management Fee shall be reduced
by any amounts payable as an Oversight Fee (as defined in the Management Agreement), such that the aggregate of the Asset Management
Fee and the Oversight Fee does not exceed 0.75% per annum of the Cost of Assets. The Asset Management Fee is payable on the first
business day of each month for the respective current month in the amount of 0.0625% of the Cost of Assets as of such date. The
Asset Management Fee will be reduced to the extent that NAREIT FFO, as adjusted, during the six months ending on the last day of
the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date that such Asset Management Fee is payable, is less than the Distributions paid
with respect to such six month period. For purposes of this determination, NAREIT FFO, as adjusted, is NAREIT FFO adjusted to (i)
include acquisition fees and related expenses, which is deducted in computing NAREIT FFO; and (ii) include non-cash restricted
stock grant amortization, if any, which is deducted in computing NAREIT FFO. In respect of the Post-Merger Period, from and after
the Closing Date the Company shall pay to the Advisor or its assignees an Asset Management Fee in an amount equal to 0.75% per
annum of the Cost of Assets, together with any accrued but unpaid fees. Such Asset Management Fee payable during the Post-Merger
Period shall be payable monthly in arrears, and in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated
in writing by the Advisor. For the avoidance of doubt, any Asset Management Fee made pursuant to this Section 10(d) in the Post-Merger
Period shall be made only in respect of the Real Estate Assets of the Company and the Operating Partnership as held by the Company
and the Operating Partnership immediately prior to the Closing Date.”

 

(c)          Section
10(h) of the Advisory Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

 

“(h)          Subordinated
Participation Interests.  The Company shall cause the Operating Partnership to periodically issue Subordinated Participation
Interests in the Operating Partnership to the Advisor or its assignees, pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Operating
Partnership Agreement, in connection with the Advisor’s (or its assignees’) management of the Operating Partnership’s
assets for the period commencing on July 1, 2012 and ending on, and including, the Closing Date.

 

(d)          A
new Section 10(i) is added to the Advisory Agreement as follows:

 

“(i)          Post-Merger
Period Payments.  The parties hereto agree that the amounts payable pursuant to Section 10(d) in respect
of the Post-Merger Period are the only amounts payable by the Company pursuant to this Agreement following the Closing Date and
that neither the Advisor nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to any other fees or amounts that are otherwise payable by
the Company pursuant to this Agreement following the Closing Date.”

 

		2.	Effective Time. This Amendment will be
effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction. If the Merger Agreement is terminated without a Closing
(as defined in the Merger Agreement), this Amendment shall automatically terminate, with no further action necessary by any party,
and be of no further force or effect.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

		3.	Notice of Termination of the Advisory Agreement.
Pursuant to and in accordance with Section 17 of the Advisory Agreement, the Company and the Company OP hereby provide to the
Advisor notice of termination of the Advisory Agreement and the Advisor acknowledges receipt thereof. The parties hereto agree
that effective at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Termination Date, with no further action necessary by any party, the Advisory
Agreement shall automatically terminate in its entirety and be of no further force or effect; provided, however,
that the indemnification provisions contained in Sections 21 and 22 of the Advisory Agreement shall survive indefinitely.

 

		4.	Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          Limited
Effect. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Advisory Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(b)          Entire
Agreement. The Advisory Agreement and this Amendment supersede all prior agreements between the parties with respect to the
subject matter thereof and constitute a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter thereof.

 

(c)          Governing
Law. This Amendment will be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York.

 

(d)          Construction.
The parties have participated jointly in the drafting of this Amendment, and each party was represented by counsel in the negotiation
of this Amendment. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Amendment shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue
of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Amendment.

 

(e)          Waiver
of Legal Conflicts. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, at their request, Proskauer Rose LLP acted as
counsel to all such parties in connection with this Amendment. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to, and does, waive any
conflict of interest which may be deemed to arise as the result of such representation and agrees not to seek to disqualify or
otherwise prevent Proskauer Rose LLP from representing the other parties hereto (or any other clients of Proskauer Rose LLP) in
any matters by reason of its work on, or representation of, such party in connection with this Amendment or its possession of confidential
information relating to such party. Proskauer Rose LLP shall be entitled to rely upon this Section 4(e) as a third party
beneficiary hereof.

 

(f)          Counterparts;
Facsimile. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of
which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Original signatures hereto may be delivered by facsimile which
shall be deemed originals.

 

(g)          Definitions.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Advisory Agreement.
