ITEM 1.01 - Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

On July 25, 2013, W. P. Carey Inc. (“W. P. Carey” or the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Corporate Property Associates 16 – Global Incorporated (“CPA®:16”), WPC REIT Merger Sub Inc., an indirect subsidiary of W. P. Carey (“Merger Sub”), and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, Carey Asset Management Corp. (“CAM”) and W. P. Carey & Co. B.V. (“W. P. Carey BV”), each an indirect subsidiary of W. P. Carey, and CPA 16 LLC, an indirect subsidiary of CPA®:16 (“CPA16 LLC”). CPA®:16 is a publicly-owned, non-listed real estate investment trust, which was sponsored by W. P. Carey and for which W. P. Carey and its affiliates serve as advisor. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, CPA®:16 will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of W. P. Carey (the “Merger”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each CPA®:16 stockholder (the “CPA®:16 Stockholders”) of record as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will receive shares of W. P. Carey common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “W. P. Carey Common Stock”). The exchange ratio with respect to shares of W. P. Carey Common Stock to be received by CPA®:16 Stockholders will be determined at the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the transaction and will be based upon a value of $11.25 per share of CPA®:16 and the volume weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of W. P. Carey Common Stock for the five consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day preceding the Closing.  However, at Closing (i) if the exchange ratio is less than or equal to 0.1447, then the exchange ratio shall be 0.1447 shares of W. P. Carey Common Stock for each share of CPA®:16 common stock, and (ii) if the exchange ratio is greater than or equal to 0.1842, then the exchange ratio shall be 0.1842 shares of W. P. Carey Common Stock for each share of CPA®:16 common stock, representing a 12% collar based on the VWAP of W. P. Carey Common Stock on July 22, 2013 and July 23, 2013 (as adjusted at the Closing, the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).  The nominal value of the Per Share Merger Consideration to be received by CPA®:16 Stockholders may be higher or lower as of the Closing due to changes in the market price of the W. P. Carey Common Stock, subject to the limitations of the collar discussed above. No fractional shares will be issued in the Merger and all CPA®:16 Stockholders entitled to fractional shares will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. W. P. Carey plans to use cash on hand and funds available to the Company in order to pay any cash due to the CPA®:16 Stockholders in lieu of fractional shares.

The Per Share Merger Consideration, including the exchange ratio and the collar, was determined as a result of negotiations between the Board of Directors of W. P. Carey and a Special Committee of Independent Members of the Board of Directors of CPA®:16 (the “Special Committee”), with the assistance of separate financial advisors.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of W. P. Carey and CPA®:16, including, among others, covenants (i) to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and consummation of the Merger and (ii) not to engage in certain kinds of transactions during such period. The Merger Agreement also provides CPA®:16 with a 30-day go-shop provision.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including, among others, (i) approval of the Merger by the stockholders of W. P. Carey and the CPA®:16 Stockholders, (ii) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, (iii) the effectiveness of  a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Form S-4”) relating to the shares of W. P. Carey Common Stock to be issued to the CPA®:16 Stockholders in connection with the Merger, (iv) the approval for the listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of W. P. Carey Common Stock to be issued to the CPA®:16 Stockholders in connection with the Merger, (v) all consents, approvals, permits and authorizations having been obtained and (vi) other customary closing conditions. In addition, W. P. Carey’s and CPA®:16’s respective obligations to consummate the Merger are subject to certain other conditions, including, among others, (i) subject to the standards set forth in the Merger Agreement, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, (ii) compliance of the other party with its covenants in the Merger Agreement in all material respects, (iii) the delivery of opinions from counsel relating to the U.S. federal income tax code treatment of the Merger and the tax status of certain of the parties to the Merger Agreement, and (iv) no event, change, effect or circumstance occurring that would constitute a material adverse effect on the other party.

CAM, W. P. Carey BV, and certain of their affiliates provide investment and advisory services to CPA®:16 pursuant to written advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the Merger, CAM and W. P. Carey BV have agreed to terminate the Advisory Agreements and waive any Subordinated Disposition Fees (as defined in the Advisory Agreements), but will continue to be entitled to receive any and all other accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to the Advisory Agreements.

Pursuant to the terms of the second amended and restated operating agreement of CPA16 LLC dated as of July 31, 2011 (the “CPA16 LLC Agreement”) by and among CPA16 LLC, Merger Sub and CPA®:16, Merger Sub is entitled to certain profit interests in CPA16 LLC. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub has agreed to waive its right to receive a distribution of Capital Proceeds upon a Change of Control Event, and related allocation of profits and losses (as such terms are defined in the CPA16 LLC Agreement) (such distributions, together with the Subordinated Disposition Fees being the “Back-End Amounts”).

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both W. P. Carey and CPA®:16. Each of W. P. Carey and CPA®:16 has agreed to pay the other party’s out-of-pocket expenses if the Merger Agreement is terminated because such party breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made in the Merger Agreement.

In addition, in the event that the Merger Agreement has been terminated either (i) by CPA®:16, in the event that the Special Committee has withdrawn its recommendation of the Merger, or approved or recommended a CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement), in each instance, in accordance with the go-shop provisions contained in the Merger Agreement, or (ii) by W. P. Carey, in the event that either (x) the CPA®:16 Board of Directors or any committee thereof has withdrawn or modified in any manner adverse to W. P. Carey its approval or recommendation of the Merger in connection with, or approved or recommended, any CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction or (y) CPA®:16 has entered into any agreement with respect to any CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction, then in each instance, concurrently with any such termination, CPA®:16 has agreed to pay W. P. Carey a termination fee equal to $57 million dollars; provided, however, in the event that CPA®:16 enters into an alternative acquisition agreement with a person or entity from whom it received a bona-fide-written offer or other communication constituting a CPA16 Competing Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement) prior to the expiration of the go-shop period, the termination fee shall be reduced to $35 million dollars (the “CPA16 Termination Fee”).

In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated, the CPA16 Termination Fee is paid, and the Back-End Amounts are payable as a result thereof, then the amount of such CPA16 Termination Fee shall be credited against the Back End Amounts payable pursuant to the CPA16 Advisory Agreements and the CPA16 LLC Agreement, unless a portion of such CPA16 Termination Fee has already been credited against the Special GP Amount (as hereinafter defined), in which case any remaining amount of the CPA16 Termination Fee shall be credited against the Back End Amounts payable. Additionally, in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated and a CPA16 Competing Transaction is consummated, the parties to the Merger Agreement have agreed that the Call Right (as such term is defined in the CPA16 LLC Agreement) shall be deemed exercised by CPA16 LLC and the amount owed and payable to Merger Sub at the closing of the CPA16 Competing Transaction pursuant to the CPA16 LLC Agreement shall be valued at $75 million dollars (the “Special GP Amount”). In the event that the Special GP Amount is payable, the amount of the CPA16 Termination Fee shall be credited against the Special GP Amount, unless a portion of the CPA16 Termination Fee has already been credited against the Back-End Amounts, in which case any remaining amount of the CPA16 Termination Fee, if any, shall be credited against the Special GP Amount.

The parties to the Merger Agreement intend that the Merger satisfy applicable requirements to qualify as a partially tax-deferred reorganization.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

General

The Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement have been recommended by the Special Committee and unanimously approved by the Independent Directors of CPA®:16 and the Board of Directors of W. P. Carey on July 25, 2013.

The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement is not intended to provide any other factual information about W. P. Carey, CPA®:16 or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of W. P. Carey and CPA®:16. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Merger Agreement, and are qualified by information in disclosure schedules that the parties have exchanged in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. The disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what an investor might view as material, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, you should read the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about W. P. Carey, CPA®:16, and their respective subsidiaries that are included in reports, statements and other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Section 1.6Per Share Merger Consideration.

(a)As of the Effective Time, pursuant to this Agreement and by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of W. P. Carey, CPA16, Merger Sub, any other W. P. Carey Subsidiary or any stockholder of CPA16 (the stockholders of CPA16, the “CPA16 Stockholders”), each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of CPA16 (“CPA16 Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and, in exchange for cancellation of such share (other than the Dissenting Shares discussed in Section 1.7), the rights attaching to such share shall be converted automatically into the right to receive, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, that number (the “Exchange Ratio”) of validly issued fully paid and non-assessable shares of W. P. Carey Common Stock (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) equal to the quotient determined by dividing the Stock Value by the Average W. P. Carey Trading Price, and rounding the result to the nearest 1/10,000 of a share of W. P. Carey Common Stock, payable in the manner set forth in Section 1.9; provided, however, that (x) if the number determined by dividing the Stock Value by the Average W. P. Carey Trading Price is less than or equal to 0.1447, the Exchange Ratio shall be 0.1447 and (y) if the number determined by dividing the Stock Value by the Average W. P. Carey Trading Price is greater than or equal to 0.1842, the Exchange Ratio shall be 0.1842.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each share of CPA16 Common Stock that is owned by W. P. Carey or any W. P. Carey Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

(b)Subject to Section 1.7, at the Effective Time, all shares of CPA16 Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of CPA16 Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration or any cash pursuant to Section 1.9(e).

Section 1.7Dissenters Rights.

(a)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the right to demand payment of fair value of the CPA16 Common Stock in connection with the Merger is available under the MGCL, any outstanding shares of CPA16 Common Stock held by a Dissenting Stockholder (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration but shall become the right to receive such

- 3 -

consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to the MGCL; provided, however, that each share of CPA16 Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Dissenting Stockholder who, after the Effective Time, withdraws his demand or fails to perfect or otherwise loses his right to receive payment of fair value, pursuant to the MGCL, shall be deemed to be converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest.  As used in this Agreement, “Dissenting Stockholder” means any record holder or beneficial owner of shares of CPA16 Common Stock who is entitled to demand and receive payment of the fair value of such holder’s shares pursuant to Section 3-202 of the MGCL and who does not vote for the Merger and complies with all provisions of the MGCL (including all provisions of Section 3-203 of the MGCL) concerning the right of holders of shares of CPA16 Common Stock to object to the Merger and obtain fair value for their shares.

(b)CPA16 shall give W. P. Carey (i) prompt notice of any demands for payment of fair value pursuant to the applicable provisions of the MGCL received by CPA16, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the MGCL and received by CPA16 relating to rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct the conduct of all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for payment of fair value under the MGCL.  CPA16 shall not, except with the prior written consent of W. P. Carey, make any payment with respect to any such demands for payment of fair value, or settle, or offer to settle, or otherwise negotiate any such demands for payment of fair value.

Section 1.8Adjustments to Exchange Ratio.  The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any reclassification, combination, subdivision, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any stock dividend or distribution of securities convertible into CPA16 Common Stock or W. P. Carey Common Stock, as applicable), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to CPA16 Common Stock (or for which a record date is established) and with respect to W. P. Carey Common Stock (or for which a record date is established), after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time; provided that nothing in this Section 1.8 shall be construed to permit W. P. Carey, Merger Sub, any other W. P. Carey Subsidiary or CPA16 to take any action with respect to their securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.9Recordation of Exchange; Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a)Delivery of W. P. Carey Common Stock.  As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, W. P. Carey shall cause the transfer agent for the W. P.

Carey Common Stock issuable as Per Share Merger Consideration to each holder of CPA16 Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6(a).

(d)No Liability.  None of W. P. Carey, Merger Sub, or any employee, officer, director, partner, agent or Affiliate of any of them, shall be liable to any person for any part of the Per Share Merger Consideration or for dividends or distributions with respect thereto delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.  Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any shares of CPA16 Common Stock five years after the Effective Time or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any federal, state, local government, or agency or any court, regulatory or administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (a “Governmental Entity”), shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of W. P. Carey or its designated Affiliate free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.

(e)Fractional Shares.  No certificates for fractional shares of W. P. Carey Common Stock shall be issued hereunder.  To the extent that a holder of CPA16 Common Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of W. P.

P. Carey Trading Price.

(f)Paying and Exchange Agent.  Prior to the Effective Time, W. P. Carey shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to CPA16 to act as agent for the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Paying and Exchange Agent”).  W. P.

Carey Common Stock.  The funds deposited with the Paying and Exchange Agent in respect of the Per Share Merger Consideration is hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event not later than the 10th Business Day thereafter, the Paying and Exchange Agent shall pay to each holder of CPA16 Common Stock the amount of cash such holder is entitled to receive in lieu of any fractional share of W. P. Carey Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.9(e).

(g)Termination of Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of CPA16 Common Stock one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to W. P. Carey or its designated Affiliate, upon demand, and any holder of CPA16 Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article I shall thereafter look

- 5 -

only to W. P. Carey or its successor in interest for payment of its claim for the Per Share Merger Consideration (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and other similar Law).

(h)Investment of Exchange Fund.  The Paying and Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by W. P.

Carey’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of W. P. Carey required under the Exchange Act with respect to such reports.

(iv)Since December 31, 2012, W. P. Carey has not received any notification of a “material weakness” in W. P.

Carey Permits”), except where the failure so to hold such W. P. Carey Permits, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a W. P. Carey Material Adverse Effect.  W. P. Carey and the W. P. Carey Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of the W. P. Carey Permits, except where the failure to so comply, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a W. P.

Carey’s Knowledge, threatened, other than those the outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a W. P. Carey Material Adverse Effect.  Neither W. P. Carey nor any W. P. Carey Subsidiary is subject to any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a W. P.

Carey or Merger Sub is subject to any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any Governmental Entity that prohibits or would reasonably be expected to prohibit any of the transactions contemplated hereby or by this Agreement.  None of W. P. Carey or Merger Sub has taken any action, nor have any other steps been taken or have any legal proceedings been commenced, nor to the Knowledge of W. P. Carey, threatened, against W. P.

(j)Taxes.

(i)Each of W. P. Carey and the W. P. Carey Subsidiaries has timely filed all material Tax Returns required to be filed by it (after giving effect to any valid extension to file).  Each such Tax Return is true, correct and complete in all material respects.  W. P. Carey and each W. P. Carey Subsidiary has paid (or W. P. Carey has paid on its behalf), all material Taxes required to be paid.  All material Taxes which W. P. Carey or the W. P.

Carey SEC Documents filed with the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement reflect an adequate reserve in accordance with GAAP for all material Taxes payable by W. P. Carey and the W. P. Carey Subsidiaries for all taxable periods and portions thereof through the date of such financial statements.  W. P. Carey and each W. P. Carey Subsidiary has established (and until the Closing Date shall continue to establish and maintain) on its books and records reserves that are adequate for the payment of all material Taxes not yet due and payable.  Since December 31, 2012, neither W. P. Carey nor any of the W. P. Carey Subsidiaries has incurred any material liability for Taxes other than in the ordinary course of business and other than transfer or similar Taxes arising in connection with the sales of property.  No event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, which presents a material risk that any material Tax described in the preceding sentences will be imposed upon W. P. Carey or any W. P. Carey Subsidiary.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.2(j) of the W. P. Carey Disclosure Letter, neither W. P. Carey nor any W. P. Carey Subsidiary is the subject of any material audit, examination, or other proceeding in respect of federal, state, local or foreign Taxes; to the Knowledge of W. P. Carey, no material audit, examination or other proceeding in respect of federal, state, local or foreign Taxes involving W. P. Carey or any W. P.

Carey Subsidiary, proposed) against W. P. Carey or any of the W. P. Carey Subsidiaries, including claims by any taxing authority in a jurisdiction where W. P. Carey or any W. P. Carey Subsidiary does not file Tax Returns but in which any of them is or may be subject to taxation, which individually or in the aggregate would be material, and no requests for waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes have been granted and remain in effect or are pending.  There are no Liens for Taxes upon the assets of W. P. Carey or the W. P. Carey Subsidiaries except for statutory Liens for Taxes not yet due or payable and for which appropriate reserves have been established on their respective financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

Carey which is a partnership, joint venture or limited liability company has, during the taxable year of W. P. Carey ended December 31, 2012 and at all times thereafter, (A) been classified for federal income Tax purposes as a partnership or treated as a disregarded entity and not as an association taxable as a corporation, or a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code, and (B) not owned any assets (including, without limitation, securities) that would cause W. P. Carey to violate Section 856(c)(4) of the Code.  During the taxable year of W. P. Carey ended December 31, 2012 and at all times thereafter, each W. P. Carey Subsidiary which is a corporation, and each other issuer of securities in which W. P. Carey holds securities (within the meaning of Section 856(c) of the Code but excluding “straight debt” of issuers as described in Section 856(m) of the Code) having a value of more than 10 percent of the total value, or more than 10 percent of the total voting power, of the outstanding securities of such issuer has been a REIT, a qualified REIT subsidiary under Section 856(i) of the Code or a taxable REIT subsidiary under Section 856(l) of the Code.  Neither W. P. Carey nor any W. P. Carey Subsidiary holds any asset (x) the disposition of which would be subject to rules similar to Section 1374 of the Code as announced in IRS Notice 88-19 or Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-5, Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-6 or Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-7 or (y) that is subject to a consent filed pursuant to Section 341(f) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

Carey Subsidiaries do not have any liability for the Taxes of any person other than W. P. Carey and the W. P. Carey Subsidiaries (A) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), (B) as a transferee or successor, (C) by contract or (D) otherwise.

(vii)Neither W. P. Carey nor any W. P. Carey Subsidiary (x) has requested, received or is subject to any written ruling of a Governmental Entity related to Taxes or has entered into any written and legally binding agreement with a Governmental Entity relating to Taxes, (y) has engaged in any transaction of which it has made (or was required to make) disclosure to any Governmental Entity to avoid the imposition of any penalties related to Taxes, or (z) has participated in any transaction that could give rise to a disclosure obligation as a “listed transaction” under Section 6011 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder or any similar provision under applicable Law.

Carey Disclosure Letter lists each written material “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) (referred to herein as “Pension Plans”) or “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), other than as set forth in the W. P. Carey SEC Documents, providing benefits to any current employee, officer or director of W. P. Carey or any of the W. P.

Carey Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Benefit Plans”).  Each Benefit Plan has been administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and the applicable requirements of ERISA, the Code and all other applicable laws.  Each Pension Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been the subject of a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that such Pension Plan is so qualified under all currently applicable provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and, to the knowledge of W. P. Carey, no circumstances exist that would adversely affect the qualification of any such Pension Plan.  No Benefit Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA.  Each Benefit Plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms.  Schedule 2.2(k) of the W. P. Carey Disclosure Letter lists each material employment, severance, consulting or other contract or plan with or for the benefit of any officer, director or employee of W. P. Carey or any of the W. P.

Section 4.3Fees and Distributions Payable to CAM and its Affiliates.

(a)As a condition and inducement to the willingness of W. P. Carey and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, each of CPA16, CAM, Foreign Subsidiary and Merger Sub agree that, concurrently with and conditioned upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the amended and restated advisory agreement dated as of September 28, 2012, between CPA16 and CAM (the “CPA16 Advisory Agreement”) and the Asset Management Agreement, dated as of

- 31 -

May 2, 2011, between CPA16 and Foreign Subsidiary (the “Asset Management Agreement” and together with the CPA16 Advisory Agreement, the “CPA16 Advisory Agreements”), shall automatically terminate without any action by any of the parties thereto and, in connection with such termination and the Merger, (i) CAM and Foreign Subsidiary each hereby waives its right to receive a Subordinated Disposition Fee (as such term is defined in the CPA16 Advisory Agreements) (the “Subordinated Disposition Fee”) and (ii) Merger Sub hereby waives its right to receive a distribution of Capital Proceeds upon a Change of Control Event, and related allocation of profits and losses, under the CPA16 LLC Agreement (as such terms are defined in the CPA16 LLC Agreement) (such distributions, together with the Subordinated Disposition Fees being the “Back-End Amounts”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in the CPA16 Advisory Agreements (i) CPA16, CAM, Foreign Subsidiary and Merger Sub each agrees that CAM, Foreign Subsidiary and Merger Sub shall continue to be entitled to receive any and all fees and distributions accrued pursuant to the CPA16 Advisory Agreements and the CPA16 LLC Agreement (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”) prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are not expressly waived pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 4.3, and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated and this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 6.1, subject to the credit described in Section 4.3(b) below, neither CAM nor Foreign Subsidiary nor Merger Sub hereby waive any Back-End Amounts, and any and all Back-End Amounts and Accrued Amounts shall continue to be payable in accordance with the terms of the CPA16 Advisory Agreements and the CPA16 LLC Agreement.

Section 4.4Tax Treatment.

(a)CPA16 shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed on a timely basis all Tax Returns and amendments thereto required to be filed by CPA16 or any of the CPA16 Subsidiaries in a manner consistent with past practice (unless an alternative manner is required to avoid imposition of any penalties, fines or additions to Tax) prior to the Closing Date (after electing all available automatic extensions of time to file such Tax Returns).  Prior to filing any such Tax Returns, CPA16 shall deliver draft copies (together with supporting documentation, including Tax Return work papers) to W. P. Carey for W. P. Carey’s review and comment, and CPA16 shall accept all reasonable comments of W. P. Carey with respect to such Tax Returns.  CPA16 shall pay all Taxes required to be paid by CPA16 prior to the Effective Time.  W. P. Carey shall have a reasonable period of time (but in no event less than 30 days) to review and comment on such Tax Returns and amendments prior to filing.  If the parties do not agree on the draft Tax Returns or amendments, the parties shall hire a nationally recognized

(b)CPA16 and CPA16 Merger Sub will take all necessary actions, including but not limited to making sufficient distributions prior to Closing if needed, to assure that CPA16 will qualify as a REIT for its Tax year ending on the Closing Date.  During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, CPA16 shall, and shall cause each CPA16 Subsidiary to, facilitate all reasonable requests of W. P. Carey with respect to the maintenance of CPA16’s REIT qualification.

(c)Merger Sub, W. P. Carey and CPA16 shall report the Merger for U.S. federal income tax purposes and all relevant state and local income tax purposes as a reorganization governed by Section 368(a)(1)(A), unless otherwise required by Law or administrative action, and shall comply with any applicable Tax reporting requirements.

Section 4.5Solicitation of Transactions—CPA16.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, during the period beginning upon the first Business Day after the date hereof, and continuing until 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on August 24, 2013 (the “Solicitation Period End Date”), CPA16, acting directly or indirectly through any of its officers, directors, investment advisors, agents, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, brokers, finders, representatives or controlled Affiliates of CPA16 or any CPA16 Subsidiary shall have the right to directly or indirectly (i) initiate, solicit, induce, cause, encourage and facilitate any CPA16 Competing Transaction, including by way of providing access to the properties, offices, assets, books, records and personnel of CPA16 and any CPA16 Subsidiary and furnish non-public information pursuant to (but only pursuant to) one or more Acceptable Confidentiality Agreements; provided, however, that any such non-public information shall, to the extent not previously provided to W.

Carey or Merger Sub prior to or substantially concurrently with it being provided to any Person given such access, (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with respect to any CPA16 Competing Transaction, or any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to a CPA16 Competing Transaction or otherwise cooperate with or assist or participate in, or facilitate any such inquiries, proposals, offers, discussions or negotiations or the making of any CPA16 Competing Transaction and (iii) grant a waiver under any standstill, confidentiality or similar agreement entered into by CPA16 to the extent necessary to allow the other party thereto to submit any CPA16 Competing Transaction or inquire, propose or make an offer that may lead to a CPA16 Competing Transaction to the CPA16 Special Committee in compliance with this Section 4.5.  W. P. Carey agrees that neither it nor any Affiliate of W. P. Carey shall, and that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective representatives not to, participate in discussions with (other than at the request of the CPA16 Special Committee), any person that it knows has made, or is considering or participating in discussions or negotiations with CPA16 or its representatives regarding, a CPA16 Competing Transaction: provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall prohibit or restrict W. P. Carey from making or conducting public communications or solicitations regarding a CPA16 Competing Transaction or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

- 33 -

(b)Except (i) as expressly permitted by this Section 4.5, or (ii) with respect to any Exempted Person until receipt of the CPA16 Stockholder Approval, from the Solicitation Period End Date until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1, CPA16, acting directly or indirectly through any of its officers, directors, investment advisors, agents, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, brokers, finders, representatives or controlled Affiliates of CPA16 or any CPA16 Subsidiary, shall cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, discussion or negotiation with any Persons with respect to any CPA16 Competing Transaction and request the immediate return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished.  Except as specifically provided in this Section 4.5, from the Solicitation Period End Date until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1, CPA16, acting directly or indirectly through any of its officers, directors, investment advisors, agents, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, brokers, finders, representatives or controlled Affiliates of CPA16 or any CPA16 Subsidiary, shall not (i) initiate, solicit, propose, cause (including by providing information) or take any action designed to, or which would reasonably be expected to, facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a CPA16 Competing Transaction, other than with respect to any Exempted Person (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide any information or data concerning, CPA16 or any CPA16 Subsidiary, including their properties, books and records, to any Person (other than with respect to any Exempted Person) relating to, or otherwise cooperate with, any CPA16 Competing Transaction or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to a CPA16 Competing Transaction, (iii) approve, publicly endorse, publicly recommend or enter into any CPA16 Competing Transaction or any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or similar agreement with respect to any CPA16 Competing Transaction (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with this Section 4.5) (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), (iv) publicly propose, agree or publicly announce an intention to take any of the foregoing actions, (v) take any action to make the provisions of any Takeover Statute inapplicable to any transaction contemplated by a CPA16 Competing Transaction, other than with respect to any Exempted Person until receipt of the CPA16 Stockholder Approval, or (vi) except to the extent waived pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(iii) above and with respect to any Exempted Person until receipt of the CPA16 Stockholder Approval, terminate, amend, release, modify or fail to enforce any provision of, or grant any permission, waiver or request under, any standstill, confidentiality or similar agreement entered into by CPA16 in respect of or in contemplation of a CPA16 Competing Transaction. The foregoing will not prevent CPA16 from, after the end of the Solicitation Period End Date, providing non-public information about CPA16 or any CPA 16 Subsidiary (subject to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) to, and engaging in discussions and negotiations regarding a possible CPA16 Competing Transaction with, a prospective acquirer in response to a proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a CPA16 Competing Transaction which CPA16 received prior to the Solicitation Period End Date, or which CPA16 receives after the Solicitation Period End Date that did not result in whole or in part from a breach of this Section 4.5(b), and which the CPA16 Special Committee determines in good faith after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, would result (if

- 34 -

consummated in accordance with its terms) in, or is reasonably likely to result in, a CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction.

(c)Except as expressly provided by Section 4.5(d), at any time after the date hereof, the CPA16 Special Committee shall not (i) (A) publicly withhold or withdraw (or qualify or modify in a manner adverse to W. P. Carey or Merger Sub), or publicly propose to withhold or withdraw (or qualify or modify in a manner adverse to W. P. Carey or Merger Sub), its recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger or otherwise publicly repudiate the adoption, approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the CPA16 Special Committee of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, (B) adopt, approve, publicly declare advisable or recommend or publicly propose to adopt, approve, declare advisable or recommend any CPA16 Competing Transaction, (C) allow its recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger to be excluded from the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, (D) fail to recommend against any CPA16 Competing Transaction within ten (10) Business Days after such CPA16 Competing Transaction is publicly announced, or (E) if a tender or exchange offer relating to equity securities of CPA16 is commenced by a Person unaffiliated with W. P. Carey, fail to send to the CPA16 Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Securities Act, within ten (10) Business Days after such tender or exchange offer is first published, a statement disclosing that the CPA16 Special Committee recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer (any action described in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose to adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, or cause or permit CPA16 or any CPA16 Subsidiary to execute or enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with this Section 4.5).

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to receipt of the CPA16 Stockholder Approval, the CPA16 Special Committee shall be permitted to either (i) terminate this Agreement in order to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction, subject to compliance with Section 6.1(g) and Section 6.2, or (ii) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, in each instance, if and only if (A) the CPA16 Special Committee has received a CPA16 Competing Transaction (whether or not from an Exempted Person) that, in the good faith determination of the CPA16 Special Committee, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes a CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction, after having complied with this Section 4.5(d), and, with respect to any Person who is not an Exempted Person, (B) the CPA16 Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that a failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the CPA16 Special Committee’s fiduciary duties to the CPA16 Stockholders under applicable Law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to either terminating this Agreement or effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change, in each instance in accordance with this Section 4.5(d), (i) the CPA16 Special Committee shall provide a written notice to W. P. Carey and Merger Sub that it intends to take such action and describing (1) the basis for its determination, and (2) the material terms and conditions of the CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction that is the basis of such action (including the identity of the party making the CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction and any financing commitments related thereto, which shall include any fee letters, which letters may be redacted to omit the numerical amounts provided therein, as applicable) (a “Change of Recommendation Notice”); (ii) during the three (3) Business Day period following

- 35 -

W. P. Carey’s and Merger Sub’s receipt of the Change of Recommendation Notice, CPA16 shall, and shall cause its officers, directors, investment advisors, agents, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, brokers, finders, representatives or controlled Affiliates of CPA16, or any CPA16 Subsidiary to, negotiate with W. P. Carey and Merger Sub in good faith (to the extent that W. P. Carey and Merger Sub desire to negotiate) to make amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so as to obviate the need for the proposed termination of this Agreement or the proposed Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable; and (iii) following the close of business on the last day of the three (3) Business Day period or such greater period of time as may be permitted by the CPA16 Special Committee in its sole discretion, the CPA16 Special Committee shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and taking into account any amendments to this Agreement proposed in writing by W. P. Carey and Merger Sub in response to the Change of Recommendation Notice, that such CPA16 Competing Transaction continues to constitute a CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction (whether or not from an Exempted Person), and with respect to any Person who is not an Exempted Person, a failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the CPA16 Special Committee’s fiduciary duties to the CPA16 Stockholders under applicable Law.  If any amendment to the financial terms or any material term of any CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction is made, the CPA16 Special Committee shall deliver a new Change of Recommendation Notice to W. P. Carey and Merger Sub, and CPA16 shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 4.6(d); provided, that, with respect to any and all such new Change of Recommendation Notices, the references in this Section 4.6(d) to “three (3) Business Days” shall be deemed to be references to “one (1) Business Day”.

(e)Within forty-eight (48) hours after the expiration of the Solicitation Period End Date, CPA16 shall (i) notify W. P. Carey in writing of the identity of each person, if any, that, in accordance with this Agreement, the CPA16 Special Committee has determined to be an Exempted Person and (ii) provide W. P. Carey with the material terms and conditions of any CPA16 Competing Transaction received from any Exempted Person prior to the Solicitation Period End Date. CPA16 shall keep W. P. Carey reasonably and promptly informed of any material changes in the status, terms or conditions of any CPA16 Competing Transaction received from any Exempted Person. Except as may relate to an Exempted Person, from and after the Solicitation Period End Date, CPA16 shall (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt), advise W. P. Carey of receipt by CPA16 or any of its Affiliates of (A) any CPA16 Competing Transaction or (B) any request for information that would reasonably be expected to lead to any CPA16 Competing Transaction, the terms and conditions of any such CPA16 Competing Transaction or request (including the identity of the party making such CPA16 Competing Transaction), (ii) keep W. P. Carey fully and promptly informed (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) of any material changes in the status, terms or conditions of any such CPA16 Competing Transaction (it being understood that any change or modification to any financial term or condition of any CPA16 Competing Transaction shall be deemed to be a material change) or request, and (iii) provide W. P. Carey promptly with (a) an unredacted copy of any such CPA16 Competing Transactions made in writing (including any financing commitments relating thereto, which shall include any fee letters (it being understood that any such fee letter may be redacted to omit the numerical amounts provided therein)) and (b) a written summary of the material terms of any CPA16 Competing Transactions not made in writing (including any financing commitments and any fee

- 36 -

letters relating thereto (it being understood that any such fee letter may be redacted to omit the numerical amounts provided therein)).

(f)So long as this Agreement has not been terminated, no Adverse Recommendation Change shall change the approval of the CPA16 Special Committee for purposes of causing any Takeover Statute to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g)Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.5 by CPA16, acting directly or indirectly through any of its officers, directors, investment advisors, agents, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, brokers, finders or other agents, representatives or controlled Affiliates of CPA16 or any CPA16 Subsidiary, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 4.5 by CPA16.

(h)For purposes of this Agreement, a “CPA16 Competing Transaction” shall mean any proposal or offer for, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, any of the following (other than the transactions expressly provided for in this Agreement):  (i) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving CPA16 (or any of the material CPA16 Subsidiaries); (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of 50% or more of the assets of CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, excluding any bona fide financing transactions which do not, individually or in the aggregate, have as a purpose or effect the sale or transfer of control of such assets; (iii) any issue, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, such securities) representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries; (iv) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other similar type of transaction with respect to CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries in which a Person shall acquire beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries; or (v) any tender offer or exchange offer for 50% or more of the voting power in the election of directors exercisable by the holders of outstanding CPA16 Common Stock (or any of the CPA16 Subsidiaries).

(i)For purposes of this Agreement, a “CPA16 Superior Competing Transaction” means a bona fide proposal for a CPA16 Competing Transaction made by a third party which the CPA16 Special Committee determines (after taking into account any amendment of the terms of the Merger by W. P. Carey and/or any proposal by W. P. Carey to amend the terms of the Transaction Documents or the Merger), in good faith and after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, (i) is on terms which are more favorable from a financial point of view to the CPA16 Stockholders than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) would result in such third party owning, directly or indirectly, at least 90% of the CPA16 Common Stock then outstanding (or all or substantially all of the equity of the surviving entity in a merger) or at least 90% of the assets of CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iii) is reasonably capable of being consummated and (iv) was not solicited by CPA16, any CPA16 Subsidiary or any of their respective officers, directors, investment advisors, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, brokers, finders, representatives or controlled Affiliates in breach of this Section 4.5.

- 37 -

(j)Nothing contained in this Section 4.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit CPA16 or the CPA16 Special Committee, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, from disclosing to CPA16’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or making any disclosure to its stockholders if the CPA16 Special Committee has determined, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with applicable Law; provided that the foregoing shall in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any such disclosure would otherwise have under this Agreement.

Section 4.6Public Announcements.  CPA16 and W. P. Carey shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except as otherwise required by Law in a manner which makes consultation impracticable.

Section 4.7Transfer and Gains Taxes.  W. P. Carey or Merger Sub shall, with CPA16’s good faith cooperation and assistance, prepare, execute and file, or cause to be prepared, executed and filed, all returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any real property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added stock transfer and stamp Taxes, any transfer, recording, registration and other fees and any similar Taxes which become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (together, with any related interest, penalties or additions to Tax, “Transfer and Gains Taxes”).  From and after the Effective Time, W. P.

(a)It is understood and agreed that CPA16 shall indemnify and hold harmless, and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and W. P. Carey shall indemnify and hold harmless, each director and officer of CPA16 or any of the CPA16 Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”), as and to the same extent as such Indemnified Parties are indemnified by CPA16 or the CPA16 Subsidiaries as of the date hereof.  Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 4.8, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, demand, proceeding or investigation, shall notify CPA16 and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and W. P. Carey, promptly thereof; provided that the failure to so notify shall not affect the obligations of CPA16, the Surviving Company and W. P. Carey except to the extent such failure to notify materially prejudices such party.

(b)W. P. Carey agrees that it shall maintain in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time all rights to indemnification existing in favor of, and all limitations of the personal liability of, the directors and officers of CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries provided for in the CPA16 Charter or CPA16 Bylaws or any provision of the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of the CPA16 Subsidiaries, as in effect as of the date hereof, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, including the Merger; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claims (each a “Claim”) asserted or made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Claim.  Prior to the Effective Time, W. P. Carey shall purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance

- 38 -

coverage for CPA16’s and CPA16 Subsidiaries’ directors and officers, in a form reasonably acceptable to CPA16, which shall provide such directors and officers with runoff coverage for six years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not materially less favorable on the whole to the insured persons than, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by CPA16 and the CPA16 Subsidiaries.

(c)This Section 4.8 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of W. P.

(d)In the event that W. P. Carey or the Surviving Company or any of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person or entity, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of W. P. Carey and the Surviving Company, as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.8.

Section 4.9Purchases and Redemptions of CPA16 Common Stock.  During the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1 or the Effective Time of the Merger, CPA16 agrees that it will not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any CPA16 Common Stock or stock or other equity interests in any CPA16 Subsidiary or any options, warrants or rights to acquire, or security convertible into, shares of CPA16 Common Stock or stock or other equity interests in any CPA16 Subsidiary, except that CPA16 may complete any qualified redemptions pending as of the date of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Carey Common Stock or stock or other equity interests in any W. P. Carey Subsidiary or any options, warrants or rights to acquire, or security convertible into, shares of W. P. Carey Common Stock or stock or other equity interests in any W. P. Carey Subsidiary, in each case other than repurchases from employees or Affiliates of W. P. Carey or any W. P. Carey Subsidiary (including, for purposes of this Section 4.10, as of the date hereof, any holder of ten percent (10%) or more of (a) W. P.

Section 6.6Payment of Expenses.

(a)In the event that CPA16 or W. P. Carey becomes obligated to pay any expenses under Section 6.2 (the “Expense Amount”), CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable, shall pay to the party entitled to receive such payment (the “Receiving Party”) from the amount deposited into escrow in accordance with this Section 6.6(a), an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Expense Amount and (ii) the sum of (A) the maximum amount that can be paid to the Receiving Party without causing the Receiving Party to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code for the year in which the Expense Amount would

- 47 -

otherwise be payable, for this purpose treating such amount as income that does not qualify for purposes of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code, as determined by the Receiving Party’s independent certified public accountants, plus (B) if the Receiving Party receives either (1) a letter from the Receiving Party’s counsel indicating that the Receiving Party has received a ruling from the IRS described in Section 6.6(b) or (2) an opinion from the Receiving Party’s counsel as described in Section 6.6(b), an amount equal to the Expense Amount less the amount payable under clause (A) above.  To the extent the entire Expense Amount is not paid to the Receiving Party in the year in which such amount would otherwise be payable as a result of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.6(a), the Expense Amount shall be carried forward to the succeeding year and shall be payable (as described above) in such succeeding year by applying the same formula and by deeming such Expense Amount as payable in such succeeding year.  To the extent the full Expense Amount has not been paid in the initial and succeeding year, the amount shall similarly be carried forward for each of the next three taxable years.  To the extent that the entire Expense Amount has not been paid in the initial year, the succeeding year and the three following years, the Expense Amount shall be forfeited by the Receiving Party.  To secure the obligation of CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable, to pay these amounts, CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable, shall deposit into escrow an amount in cash equal to the Expense Amount with an escrow agent selected by CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable, and on such terms (subject to Section 6.6(b)) as shall be mutually agreed upon by CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable, the Receiving Party and the escrow agent.  The payment or deposit into escrow of the Expense Amount pursuant to this Section 6.6(a) shall be made at the time CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable, would otherwise be obligated to pay the Receiving Party pursuant to Section 6.2.

(b)The escrow agreement shall provide that the Expense Amount in escrow or any portion thereof shall not be released to the Receiving Party unless the escrow agent receives any of the following:  (i) a letter from the Receiving Party’s independent certified public accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to the Receiving Party without causing the payee to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income that qualifies for purposes of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code (“Qualifying Income”) or a subsequent letter from the Receiving Party’s accountants revising that amount, in which case the escrow agent shall release such amount to the Receiving Party, or (ii) a letter from the Receiving Party’s counsel indicating that the Receiving Party received a ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by the Receiving Party of the Expense Amount would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income for purposes of Code Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) (or alternatively, the Receiving Party’s counsel has rendered a legal opinion to the effect that the receipt by the Receiving Party of the Expense Amount would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income for purposes of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code), in which case the escrow agent shall release the remainder of the Expense Amount to the Receiving Party.  CPA16 and W. P. Carey each agree to amend this Section 6.6 at the request of the Receiving Party in order to (A) maximize the portion of the Expense Amount that may be distributed to the Receiving Party hereunder without causing the Receiving Party to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code, (B) improve the likelihood of the Receiving Party securing a ruling described in this Section 6.6(b), or (C) assist the Receiving Party in obtaining a legal opinion from its counsel as described in this Section 6.6(b).  The escrow agreement shall also provide that any portion of the Expense Amount not paid to the Receiving Party in the initial year and the four succeeding years

- 48 -

shall be released by the escrow agent to CPA16 or W. P. Carey, as applicable.  Unless such party is the Receiving Party, none of CPA16 or W. P. Carey shall be a party to such escrow agreement and neither shall bear any cost of or have liability resulting from the escrow agreement.

W. P. Carey Inc. Announces Proposed Merger with CPA®:16 – Global

Combined Company Enterprise Value of $10.1 Billion

NEW YORK, NY – July 25, 2013 – W. P. Carey Inc. (NYSE:WPC) announced today that its Board of Directors and the independent directors of the Board of Directors of its publicly-held, non-traded real estate investment trust (REIT) affiliate, Corporate Property Associates 16 – Global Incorporated (“CPA®:16 – Global”), have unanimously approved a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which CPA®:16 – Global will merge with W. P. Carey in a transaction valued at approximately $4.0 billion.  The merger is subject to approval by stockholders of both W. P. Carey and CPA®:16 – Global.

Following the merger, the combined company is expected to have an equity market capitalization of approximately $6.5 billion and a total enterprise value of approximately $10.1 billion. The combined portfolio will consist of more than 700 properties with 86 million square feet of corporate real estate leased to 231 companies around the world.  W. P. Carey will continue to manage the firm’s Corporate Property Associates (CPA®) programs and Carey Watermark Investors (CWI), which are publicly-held, non-traded REITs.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, CPA®:16 – Global stockholders will receive shares of W. P. Carey common stock for their shares of CPA®:16 – Global stock pursuant to an exchange ratio based upon a value of $11.25 per share of CPA®:16 – Global and the volume weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of W. P. Carey common stock for the five consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day preceding the closing of the transaction.  The exchange ratio is subject to a 12% collar based on the VWAP of W. P. Carey common stock on July 22, 2013 and July 23, 2013, which results in an exchange ratio of not more than 0.1842 shares and not less than 0.1447 shares of W. P. Carey common stock for each share of CPA®:16 – Global. The merger agreement also provides CPA®:16 – Global with a 30-day go-shop provision.

W. P. Carey believes that the benefits of the proposed merger include:

·Improves the quality of W. P. Carey’s earnings through increased portfolio diversification and by continuing the shift in revenue mix towards stable real estate rental income

·Continues W. P. Carey’s evolution from a hybrid LLC that derived the majority of its revenue from investment management fees into a leading global net lease REIT

·Substantially increases W. P. Carey’s size, resulting in a pro forma equity market capitalization of approximately $6.5 billion and a total enterprise value of $10.1 billion

·Enhances W. P. Carey’s position for future access to diverse, efficiently priced sources of capital

·Simplifies W. P. Carey’s GAAP financial statements by consolidating joint ventures with CPA®:16 – Global as well as its existing ownership interest in CPA®:16 – Global

·Reinforces W. P. Carey’s position as a premier investment manager in the non-traded REIT sector with the 15th successful liquidation of one of its CPA® programs

·Supports the continuation of W. P. Carey’s long-standing tradition of stable dividend growth through anticipated accretion to AFFO per share, with an anticipated post-transaction minimum annualized dividend of $3.52 per share

W. P. Carey President and CEO Trevor Bond commented, “We are pleased to announce a merger transaction that we believe is beneficial to both W. P. Carey and CPA®:16 – Global investors.  In addition to providing liquidity to CPA®:16 – Global investors, it will significantly increase W. P. Carey’s asset base, with a portfolio that will further enhance our already broad diversification by tenant, property type and geography.  And given that we originated and manage CPA®:16 – Global’s portfolio, we believe we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on its inherent opportunities.  This transaction will reinforce our status as a leading global net-lease REIT and a successful manager of non-traded real estate programs, having provided solid total returns and liquidity to more than 100,000 investors in 15 programs over a period of 35 years.  We have performed well for our investors – those in our public company as well as our managed programs – throughout a variety of market cycles and attribute that success to the disciplined investment approach instituted by our late founder, Wm. Polk Carey, when he opened the doors of W. P. Carey 40 years ago.”

BofA Merrill Lynch is acting as financial advisor to W. P. Carey and DLA Piper LLP (US) is acting as the legal advisor to W. P. Carey. Barclays is acting as financial advisor to CPA®:16 – Global, Clifford Chance LLP is acting as legal advisor to CPA®:16 – Global and Pepper Hamilton LLP is acting as legal advisor to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of CPA®:16 – Global.

A joint proxy statement/prospectus will be filed on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which will describe the proposed merger. Completion of the transaction is subject to, among other things, review by the SEC, receipt of all third-party consents as well as the approval of the stockholders of both companies and satisfaction of customary closing conditions.  The transaction is currently expected to close during the first quarter of 2014, although there can be no assurance that the transaction will close at such time, if at all.
