("ARCP"), American Realty Capital Trust IV, Inc. ("ARCT IV"), American Realty Capital Properties Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "ARCP Operating Partnership"), American Realty Capital Operating Partnership IV, L.P. (the "ARCT IV Operating Partnership") and Thunder Acquisition LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ARCP ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which ARCT IV merged with and into Merger Sub (the "Merger"). In return for the initial capital contribution of $200,000 made by ARCT IV in connection with its formation, the ARCT IV Operating Partnership issued 8,888 general partnership units to ARCT IV. Upon the consummation of the Merger, each ARCT IV operating partnership unit was converted into 2.3961 ARCP OP Units.

The Special Limited Partner is 100% owned by ARC, of which the reporting person is an equity holder and a manager. The OP Units were distributed pro rata to the reporting person and are now owned directly. Represents OP Units issued upon accelerated vesting of certain LTIP Units of the ARCP Operating Partnership ("LTIP Units") issued pursuant to ARCP's 2013 Advisor Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement, as a result of ARCP's restructuring into a self-managed real estate investment trust. The OP Units were distributed pro rata to the reporting person and are now owned directly. OP Units are exchangeable for cash or, at the option of the ARCP Operating Partnership, shares of ARCP's common stock on a one-to-one basis. OP Units are exchangeable, except under certain limited circumstances, beginning one year from the date of issuance, which includes the holding period of any units that were converted into OP Units (e.g., LTIP Units) and have no expiration date. ARCP entered into a Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement with the reporting person. Under the plan, the reporting person will be eligible to earn performance-based bonus awards in the form of LTIP Units equal to his participation percentage of a pool that will be funded up to a maximum award opportunity. Subject to the reporting person's continued service through each vesting date, LTIP Units will vest 1/3 on each of January 8, 2017, January 8, 2018 and January 8, 2019. /s/ Nicholas S.Schorsch 2014-01-10
