Our potential risks and uncertainties are presented in the section titled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and updated in Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q from time to time. The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward looking statements: • We may not be able to consummate the Merger with AFIN within the expected time period, or at all, due to various reasons, inc lud ing, but not limited to, the failure to obtain approval by our stockholders and the stockholders of AFIN. • We and AFIN expect to incur substantial expenses related to the Merger, whether or not consummated, and may be unable to real ize the anticipated benefits of the Merger or do so within the anticipated time frame. • All of our executive officers are also officers, managers or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our Advi sor , or other entities affiliated with AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR Capital, LLC, "AR Global" or the "Parent of ou r Sponsor"). As a result, our executive officers, our Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including conflict s c reated by our Advisor's and its affiliates' compensation arrangements with us and other investment programs advised by affiliates of the Pa ren t of our Sponsor and conflicts in allocating time among these investment programs and us, which could negatively impact our operating res ults. • Lincoln Retail REIT Services, LLC and its affiliates have to allocate time between providing real estate - related services to our Advisor and other programs and activities in which they are presently involved or may be involved in the future. • We depend on tenants for revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our te nan ts. • Our tenants may not achieve the rental rate incentives in their lease agreements with us, which may impact our results of ope rat ions. • Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our interest payments associated with our credit facility, as amende d, and limit our ability to pay distributions. • We are permitted to pay distributions of unlimited amounts from any source. There are no established limits on the amount of bor rowings that we may use to fund distribution payments. American Realty Capital – Retail Centers of America 13 RISK FACTORS 61007940v1

American Realty Capital – Retail Centers of America 14 RISK FACTORS • We have not generated, and in the future may not generate, operating cash flows sufficient to cover 100% of our distributions , a nd, as such, to maintain the level of distributions, we may need to fund some portion of distributions from borrowings, which may be at unfavorable rates, or depend on our Advisor to waive reimbursement of certain expenses or fees. There is no assurance that ou r A dvisor will waive reimbursement of expenses or fees. • We may be unable to maintain cash distributions at the current rate or increase distributions over time. • We are obligated to pay fees, which may be substantial, to our Advisor and its affiliates. • No public market currently exists, or may ever exist, for shares of our common stock and our shares are, and may continue to be, illiquid. • We are subject to risks associated with any dislocation or liquidity disruptions that may exist or occur in the credit market s o f the United States of America. • We may fail to continue to qualify to be treated as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, whic h w ould result in higher taxes, may adversely affect our operations and would reduce the value of an investment in our common stock and the cas h available for distributions. • We may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and thus be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act.
