The Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in the name of the Company or the Partnership and may collect and deposit into such account or accounts, and disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf of the Company or the Partnership, under such terms and conditions as the Board may approve; provided, that no funds shall be commingled with the funds of the Advisor.  The Advisor shall upon request render appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to the Board and the independent auditors of the Company.

Article 6

Records And Financial Statements

The Advisor, in the conduct of its responsibilities to the Company and the Partnership, shall maintain adequate and separate books and records for the Company’s and the Partnership’s operations in accordance with GAAP, which shall be supported by sufficient documentation to ascertain that such books and records are properly and accurately recorded.  Such books and records shall be the property of the Company and the Partnership and shall be available for inspection by the Board and by counsel, auditors and other authorized agents of the Company and the Partnership, at any time or from time to time during normal business hours.  Such books and records shall include all information necessary to calculate and audit the fees or reimbursements paid under this Agreement.  The Advisor shall utilize procedures to attempt to ensure such control over accounting and financial transactions as is reasonably required to protect the Company’s and the Partnership’s assets from theft, error or fraudulent activity.  All financial statements that the Advisor delivers to the Company and the Partnership shall be prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, except for special financial reports that by their nature require a deviation from GAAP.  The Advisor shall liaise with the Company’s officers and independent auditors and shall provide such officers and auditors with the reports and other information that the Company so requests.

Article 7

Limitation On Activities

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Advisor shall not take any action that, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would (i) adversely affect the ability of the Company to qualify or continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code (unless the Board has determined that REIT qualification is not in the best interests of the Company and its Stockholders), (ii) subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (iii) violate any law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company, its Shares or its other securities, (iv) require the Advisor to register as a broker‑dealer with the SEC or any state, or (v) violate the Articles of Incorporation or

Bylaws.  In the event an action that would violate any of clauses (i) through (v) of the preceding sentence but such action has been ordered by the Board, the Advisor shall notify the Board of the Advisor’s judgment of the potential impact of such action and shall refrain from taking such action until it receives further clarification or instructions from the Board.  In such event, the Advisor shall have no liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board so given. 

Article 8

Fees

8.1       Acquisition Fees.  As compensation for the investigation, selection, sourcing and acquisition or origination (by purchase, investment or exchange) of Properties, Loans and other Permitted Investments, the Company shall pay an Acquisition Fee calculated as set forth below in this Section 8.1  to the Advisor or its assignees for each such investment (whether an acquisition or origination).  With respect to the acquisition or origination of a Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment to be owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company or the Partnership, the Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor or its assignees shall equal 1.0% of the sum of the amount actually paid or allocated to fund the acquisition, origination, development, construction or improvement of the Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment, inclusive of the Acquisition Expenses associated with such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment and the amount of any debt associated with, or used to fund the investment in, such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment, but exclusive of the Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor or its assignees.  The calculation of Acquisition Fees payable to the Advisor or its assignees will also include any amounts incurred or reserved for capital expenditures that will be used to provide funds for capital improvements and repairs applied to any real property investment acquired where the Company plans to add value.  With respect to the acquisition or origination of a Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment through any Joint Venture or any partnership in which the Company or the Partnership is, directly or indirectly, a co‑venturer or partner, the Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor or its assignees shall equal 1.0% of the portion that is attributable to the Company’s or the Partnership’s direct or indirect investment in such Joint Venture or partnership of the amount actually paid or allocated to fund the acquisition, origination, development, construction or improvement of the Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment, inclusive of the Acquisition Expenses associated with such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment, plus the amount of any debt associated with, or used to fund the investment in, such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment, but exclusive of the Acquisition Fee so payable to the Advisor or its assignees.  The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company following the closing or closings of each acquisition or origination, accompanied by a computation of the Acquisition Fee.  The Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor or its assignees shall be paid at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Company. 

8.2       Asset Management Fee.  The Company shall pay the Advisor or its assignees as compensation for the services described in Section 3.3  hereof a fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) payable on the first business day of each month up to and including September 30, 2012 in the amount of 0.08333% of the Management Fee Base for the preceding monthly period and shall be payable, at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, in cash, Shares or grants of restricted Shares, or any combination thereof.  The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company, accompanied by a computation of the Asset Management Fee for the applicable period.  The Asset Management Fee will be appropriately pro rated for any partial monthly period.  For the purposes of the payment of any fees in Shares, (i) if at the applicable time an Offering is underway, each Share shall be valued at the per‑share offering price of the Shares in such Offering minus the maximum selling commissions and dealer manager fee allowed in such Offering; and (ii) at all other times, each Share shall be valued by the Board in good faith (A) at the estimated value thereof, calculated in accordance with the provisions of NASD Rule 2340(c)(1) (or any successor or similar FINRA rule), or (B) if no such rule shall then exist, at the fair market value thereof; provided, however, that in the case of Asset Management Fees payable in grants of restricted Shares, each Share shall be valued in accordance with the provisions of the equity incentive plan of the Company pursuant to which such grants are to be made.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company on a quarterly basis for all or a portion of the Asset Management Fees paid to the Advisor in the immediately preceding fiscal quarter to the extent the Company’s Modified Funds From Operations (“MFFO”) for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter were less than the amount of distributions declared with respect to all record dates during such quarter, provided that the distribution rate during such quarter was no more than $0.65 per share on an annualized basis.  Accordingly, the portion of the Asset Management Fee that is reimbursed with respect to the applicable period will result in the Company achieving an MFFO amount for the period that is equal to the distributions declared during such period (assuming that the shortfall was no more than the amount of total Asset Management Fees for the period).  As used herein, MFFO shall be defined in accordance with the Investment Program Association Practice Guidelines 2010‑01 issued in November 2010 or as subsequently modified by the Investment Program Association, with an additional adjustment to add back amounts received or receivable from the Sub‑advisor or an Affiliate thereof in the form of an additional capital contribution (without any corresponding issuance of equity in the form of common or preferred shares of beneficial interest to the Sub‑advisor or its Affiliate).

8.3       Disposition Fees.  If the Advisor or Sub‑advisor or any of their Affiliates provides a substantial amount of services (as determined by the Conflicts Committee) in connection with a Sale, then the Advisor or its assignees shall receive a fee at the closing (a “Disposition Fee”) equal to 2.0% of the Contract Sales Price; provided, however, that no Disposition Fee shall be payable if the Sale is to an Affiliate of either the Advisor or the Sub-advisor; provided further,  

however, that the payment of any Disposition Fees by the Company shall be subject to any limitations contained in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.  Any Disposition Fee payable under this Section 8.3  may be paid in addition to commissions paid to non‑Affiliates, provided that the total commissions (including such Disposition Fee) paid to all Persons by the Company for each Sale shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6.0% of the aggregate Contract Sales Price of each applicable Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment and (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission for each applicable Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment.  Substantial assistance in connection with the Sale of a Property includes the preparation of an investment package for the Property (including a new investment analysis, rent rolls, tenant information regarding credit, a property title report, an environmental report, a list of prospective buyers, a structural report and exhibits) or such other substantial services performed by the Advisor or Sub‑advisor or any of their Affiliates in connection with a Sale.  The Disposition Fee payable to the Advisor or its assignees shall be paid at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Company. 

8.4       Financing Fee.  In the event of any debt financing obtained by or for the Company, the Company will pay to the Advisor or its assignees upon the closing of such debt financing a fee (a “Financing Fee”) equal to (i) 0.75% of the amount available under such debt financing, whether at the Company, Partnership, or any direct or indirect subsidiary level, and (ii) 0.75% of the portion that is attributable to the Company’s or the Partnership’s direct or indirect investment in a Joint Venture or partnership in which the Company or the Partnership is, directly or indirectly, a co‑venturer or partner.  The Advisor (or Sub‑advisor) may reallow all or a portion of any Financing Fee to reimburse a non‑Affiliated third party with whom it may subcontract to procure any such debt financing.  All or any portion of the Financing Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine. 

8.5       Subordinated Participation Interests. The Partnership shall periodically issue Subordinated Participation Interests in the Partnership to the Advisor or its assignees, pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Partnership Agreement, in connection with the Advisor’s (or its assignees’) management of the Company’s and the Partnership’s assets commencing on October 1, 2012.

8.6       Other Services.  Should the Board request that the Advisor or the Sub‑advisor or any Affiliate or director, officer or employee of any of the foregoing render services for the Company other than as set forth in this Agreement, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed upon by the Advisor, Sub‑advisor or such Affiliate or other Person, on the one hand, and the Board, including a majority of the Conflicts Committee, on the other hand, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

8.7       Changes to Fee Structure.  In the event of Listing, the Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure appropriate for a perpetual‑life entity. 

8.8       Internalization.  In the event that the Board elects to internalize any management services provided by the Advisor or the Sub‑advisor, neither the Company nor the Partnership shall not pay any compensation or other remuneration to the Advisor or the Sub‑advisor or any of their Affiliates in connection with such internalization transaction.  For the avoidance of doubt, any compensation paid or payable by the Company to employees of the Company in connection with their employment by the Company (which employees were formerly employed by the Advisor or the Sub‑advisor or any of their Affiliates) shall not be deemed to be compensation or other remuneration in connection with any internalization transaction for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence.  This provision shall not limit any other consideration or distributions that the Company or the Partnership may pay the Advisor or the Sub‑advisor in accordance with this Agreement or the Sub‑advisory Agreement (in each case, as such agreement may be amended, restated or modified from time to time) or any other agreement.  This provision shall in no way obligate the Advisor or the Sub‑advisor to facilitate an internalization transaction with the Advisor, the Sub‑advisor or any of their Affiliates.

8.9       Limitation on Fees.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of any fees or expenses pursuant to Articles 8  and 13  by the Company shall be subject to the limitations thereon contained in the Articles of Incorporation. 

8.10     Investments through Joint Ventures.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Properties, Loans or other Permitted Investments are owned by the Company or the Partnership through a Joint Venture and if such Joint Venture pays or reimburses the Advisor or Sub‑advisor or any of their Affiliates in connection with the provision of advisory services similar to any of the services to be provided to the Company and the Partnership hereunder, then an adjustment shall be made to the amounts owed under this Agreement to avoid duplication of fees or reimbursement of expenses paid by the Company (directly or indirectly) to the Advisor.  The Company’s or the Partnership’s share of any profits interest paid to the Advisor, Sub-advisor, or any of their Affiliates by such a Joint Venture pursuant to the joint venture agreement or otherwise shall also be credited toward the amount of any Subordinated Participation Interests owed under Section 8.5.

10.2     Other Voting of Shares.  The Advisor agrees that, with respect to any Shares now or hereinafter owned by it, the Advisor will not vote or consent on matters submitted to the stockholders of the Company regarding (i) the removal of the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor or (ii) any transaction between the Company and the Advisor or any of its Affiliates.  This voting restriction shall survive until such time that the Advisor is no longer serving as such.

Article 11

Relationship Of Advisor, Company and Partnership; Other Activities Of The Advisor

11.1     Relationship.  Except as provided in Section 8.5, the Company, the Partnership, the Advisor, and the Sub-advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers.  Except as set forth in Section 11.3, nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or any of its Affiliates from engaging in or earning fees from other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or any of its Affiliates.  Nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any manager, director, officer, member, partner, employee or equityholder of the Advisor or any of its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person.  The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company or the Partnership is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein, and earn fees for rendering such advice and service.  Specifically, it is contemplated that the Company and the Partnership may enter into Joint Ventures or other similar co‑investment arrangements with certain Persons, and pursuant to the agreements governing such Joint Ventures or other similar co‑investment arrangements, the Advisor may be engaged to provide advice and service to such Persons, in which case the Advisor will earn fees for rendering such advice and service.  The Advisor shall promptly disclose to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, that creates or which would reasonably result in a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations to the Company and the Partnership and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person (it being understood and agreed that the conditions and circumstances referred to in the second paragraph of Section 11.3  are deemed to have been disclosed to the Board for purposes of this Section 11.1). 

11.2     Time Commitment.  The Advisor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the Company and the Partnership such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company and the Partnership in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement.  The Company and the Partnership each acknowledges that the Advisor and its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in activities unrelated to the Company and the Partnership and may provide services to Persons other than the Company, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates.

11.3     Investment Opportunities.  The Advisor shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company.  So long as the Advisor is acting in its capacity as advisor under this

Agreement, the Advisor will not (and will cause its Affiliates to not) (i) pursue any opportunity to acquire any Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment that fits within the Company’s strategy, or (ii) offer such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment to a third party, in each case unless and until such opportunity is first presented to the Company.  The Company shall have 30 days from the date of its receipt of a complete written offering package relating to such opportunity, customary in scope and content, to notify the Advisor of the Company’s decision as to whether or not to pursue such opportunity.  If the Company fails so to notify the Advisor within such 30‑day period, the Company shall be deemed to have passed on such opportunity.  If the Company passes on such opportunity, then the Advisor or such Affiliate, as the case may be, may acquire the subject investment or offer the subject investment to a third party for a period of 180 days, in each case on terms and conditions (including price) that are not materially different from the terms and conditions set forth in the offering package to the Company.  If at the expiration of such 180‑day period, such opportunity remains available, then the provisions of this Section 11.3  shall once again apply to such opportunity.

Notwithstanding the preceding, however, the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be permitted to pursue any opportunity or to offer any opportunity to a third party in respect of (i) any net leased retail, office and industrial properties or other property consistent with the investment policies of American Reality Capital Trust, Inc., (ii) any commercial real estate or other real estate investments that relate to office, retail, multi‑family residential, industrial and hotel property types, located primarily in the New York metropolitan area or other property consistent with the investment policies of American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, Inc., or (iii) any investments to be made by a contemplated non‑traded REIT (the “Identified REIT”) that the Advisor or any of its Affiliates described as (a) intending to invest primarily in “power center” real estate developments, (b) being sponsored or co‑sponsored by ARC (or one of its Affiliates), the acquisition services for which will be provided by an international commercial and residential real estate developer and manager (or one of its Affiliates), and (c) being the subject of an executed letter of intent or term sheet between the Advisor (or one of its Affiliates) and such international commercial and residential real estate developer and manager (or one of its Affiliates), and which has or will have as its publicly disclosed (and not subsequently revised or required to be revised under applicable securities laws) investment objectives to have less than 20% of its assets (measured by purchase price) in anchored shopping centers with purchase prices of less than $20,000,000 per property (determined once the proceeds of the offering have been fully invested).

retain the Sub‑advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform advisory services for the Company, the Company will, promptly after receipt of written request from the Sub‑advisor, cease to conduct business under or use the names “Phillips Edison” and “PECO” 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 any of the names “Phillips Edison” and “PECO” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Sub‑advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Sub‑advisor 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 any of the names “Phillips Edison” or “PECO.”  Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Sub‑advisor 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 the names “Phillips Edison” or “PECO” 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 Sub‑advisor nor any of its Affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the names “Phillips Edison” or “PECO” licensed hereunder or the use thereof (including without limitation as to whether the use of the name “Phillips Edison” or “PECO” will be free from infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties).  Notwithstanding the preceding, the Sub‑advisor 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 “Phillips Edison” or “PECO.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify the Advisor or Sub‑advisor or their Affiliates, as well as their respective officers, directors, equity holders, members, partners and employees, for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met:  (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

15.2     Limitation on Indemnification.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide for indemnification of the Advisor, the Sub‑advisor or their Affiliates or of their respective officers, directors, equity holders, members, partners and employees, for any liability or loss suffered by any of them, nor shall any of them be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company, unless all of the following conditions are met:

(A)                The Advisor, the Sub‑advisor or one of their Affiliates (as applicable) has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company.

(B)                 The Advisor, the Sub‑advisor or one of Affiliates (as applicable) was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company. 

(C)                 Such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Advisor, the Sub‑advisor or one of their Affiliates (as applicable). 

15.3     Limitation on Payment of Expenses.  The Company shall pay or reimburse reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred by any of the Advisor, the Sub‑advisor or their Affiliates, or by any of their respective officers, directors, equity holders, members, partners and employees, in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding only if (in addition to any applicable procedures required by the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time) all of the following are satisfied:  (a) the proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company; (b) the legal proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder or, if by a stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement; and (c) such Person undertakes to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company, together

with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification.
