This ASSET Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of March 1, 2012 by and among American Realty Capital Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Buyer”) and AR Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”).

RECITALS

A. The Seller is the sponsor of American Realty Capital Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“ARCT”) that owns and acquires single tenant free standing commercial real estate properties that are primarily net leased on a long-term basis to investment grade credit rated and other creditworthy tenants that elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008.

B. ARCT is the sole general partner of, and conducts substantially all of its operations, including owning its real estate properties, through, the Buyer.

C. Prior to the date hereof, the day-to-day business and operations of ARCT were managed by American Realty Capital Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company wholly-owned by the Seller (the “Former Advisor”), and, in connection therewith, the Seller owned the furniture, fixtures, equipment and other assets used by ARCT and the Buyer in their business and operations.

D. ARCT is contemplating the internalization of its management and the termination of its advisory agreement with the Former Advisor, as a result of which ARCT will become a self-administered and self-advised REIT, and in connection with which the Buyer will purchase from the Seller certain furniture, fixtures, equipment and other assets necessary for the operation of ARCT and reimburse the Seller for certain costs and expenses as described herein.

E. The Seller wishes to sell and reimburse, and the Buyer wishes to purchase and accept, all of the Purchased Assets and the Reimbursed Expenses upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
