Indemnification Agreements

On November 26, 2014, American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into indemnification agreements (each, an “Indemnification Agreement”) with each of Michael J. Sodo, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company, and Gavin B. Brandon, Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of the Company (together, the “Indemnitees”), that obligate the Company to indemnify the Indemnitees to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all expenses actually incurred by the Indemnitees or on their respective behalves in connection with a proceeding or proceedings. The Indemnitees are not entitled to indemnification if it is established that one of the exceptions to indemnification under Maryland law, as set forth in the Indemnification Agreements, exists.

In addition, the Indemnification Agreements require the Company to advance reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitees within 10 days of the receipt by the Company of a statement from the Indemnitees requesting the advance. The Indemnification Agreements also provide for procedures for the determination of entitlement to indemnification, including requiring such determination be made by independent counsel after a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Indemnification Agreements).

The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Indemnification Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
