Description of Investments

The following disclosure is to be added to the section of our Prospectus captioned “Description of Investments” on pages 3 – 4 of the Prospectus.

We employ a focused investment strategy: acquire single-tenant, freestanding properties, net-leased on a long term basis to investment grade and other credit-worthy tenants. From a geographical standpoint, our target properties: (i) enjoy a strong location on “Main Street, USA,” e.g. pharmacies, banks, restaurants, gas/convenience stores; or (ii) are situated along high traffic transit corridors at locations carefully selected by the corporate tenant to support operationally essential corporate distribution/warehouse and logistical facilities.

We believe that American corporations, seeking to reduce the costs of distributing their goods and services, are re-evaluating supply chain management and distribution/warehouse capabilities. We believe that this has led to an increased need for well-located real estate from which corporations may cost efficiently aggregate from suppliers and deploy to their regional retail stores. We consider these two operationally essential categories as complementary to our overall portfolio.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Status of Fees Paid and Deferred

The following information supersedes and replaces the information under the section of our Prospectus captioned “Status of Fees Paid and Deferred” on page 9 of the Prospectus.

From January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, the Company reimbursed the Advisor $0 for organizational and offering expenses and incurred the following fees:

From January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the Company reimbursed the Advisor $5,617,286 for organizational and offering expenses and incurred the following fees:

From January 1, 2010 through April 8, 2010, the Company reimbursed the Advisor $650,000 for organizational and offering expenses and incurred the following fees:

Amounts paid to the advisor include approximately $3,100,000 of offering costs incurred by the affiliated Advisor and Dealer Manager that exceeds 1.5% of gross offering proceeds earned cumulatively through April 8, 2010. Any organizational or offering expenses that exceed 1.5% of gross offering proceeds over the term of the offering will be the Advisor’s obligation.

The Company pays the Advisor an annualized asset management fee of 1.0% based on the aggregate contract purchase price of all properties. Through December 31, 2009, the Company paid $145,000 to the Advisor and will determine if such fees will be waived in subsequent periods on a quarter-to-quarter basis. Such waived fees cumulatively through April 8, 2010 equal approximately $ 3,500,000.

Status of Distributions

The following information supplements the section of our Prospectus captioned “Distribution Policy and Distributions” on pages 10 and 148 of the Prospectus.

On February 25, 2008, our Board of Directors declared a distribution for each monthly period commencing 30 days subsequent to acquiring our initial portfolio of real estate investments. Our daily dividend commenced accruing on April 5, 2008.

On November 5, 2008, the Board of Directors approved an increase in its annual cash distribution from $.65 to $.67, paid monthly. Based on a $10.00 share price, this 20 basis point increase, effective January 2, 2009, results in an annualized distribution rate of 6.7%.

On October 5, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a special distribution of $0.05 per share payable to shareholders of record on December 31, 2009, in addition to the current 6.7% annualized distribution rate paid monthly. This special distribution was paid on January, 19, 2010.

On January 27, 2010, the Board of Directors approved an increase in its annual cash distribution from $.67 to $.70, paid monthly. Based on a $10.00 share price, this 30 basis point increase, effective April 1, 2010, will result in an annualized distribution rate of 7.0%.

To date, the Company’s distributions have been paid with a combination of cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the sales of common stock. There can be no assurance that cash flows from operations will be sufficient to pay distributions in future periods.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following table summarizes the Company’s historical and prospective distribution rate, reflecting the special distribution and increase to the annual rate effective April 1, 2010 noted above:

Period		Annualized Distribution Rate				Number of Months
May 2008(1) to December 2008			6.5	%			8
January 2009 to March 2010			6.7	%			15
Special Distribution – January 2010(2)			0.5	%			—
			7.2	%(2)
April 2010 to —			7.0	%			—

The Company determined distributions paid to shareholders in 2009 will be reported as nondividend distributions on Form 1099 for the applicable period. Accordingly, such distributions are generally not subject to ordinary income tax in the related period. This tax characterization is consistent with distributions paid to shareholders in 2008.

The portion of the distribution that is not subject to tax immediately is considered a return of capital for tax purposes and will reduce the tax basis of a shareholder's investment. This defers a portion of applicable taxes until the investment is sold or the Company is liquidated, at which time the shareholder will be taxed at capital gains rates. However, because each investor’s tax considerations are different, the Company recommends that investors consult with their tax advisor.

The following is a chart of monthly distributions declared and paid since the commencement of the offering:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company, Board of Directors and Advisor share a similar philosophy with respect to paying the dividend. The dividend should principally be derived from cash flows generated from real estate operations. Specifically, funds from operations should equal or exceed distributions in a given period. If needed, the Advisor generally expects to waive its asset management fee and forego entitled reimbursements to ensure the full coverage of the Company’s distributions. The fees and reimbursement that are waived are not deferrals and accordingly, will not be paid by the Company.

Share Repurchase Program

The following disclosure will be added to the sections of our Prospectus captioned “Share Repurchase Program” on pages 11 – 12 and 153 – 154 of the Prospectus.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, we received requests to redeem 3,000 common shares pursuant to our share repurchase program. We redeemed 100% of the redemption requests at an average price per share of $9.625 per share. We funded share redemptions for the periods noted above from the cumulative proceeds of the sale of our common shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan and from operating funds of the Company.

Restricted Share Plan

The following disclosure is to be added on page 44 of the Prospectus.

Restricted Share Plan

On January 22, 2010, our Board of Directors adopted our employee and director incentive restricted share plan. The Board of Directors adopted the plan to:

Our restricted share plan provides for the automatic grant of 3,000 restricted shares of common stock to each of our independent directors, without any further action by our board of directors or the stockholders, on the date of each annual stockholder’s meeting. Restricted stock issued to independent directors will vest over a five-year period following the first anniversary of the date of grant in increments of 20% per annum.

Our employee and director incentive restricted share plan provides us with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to our directors, officers and employees (if we ever have employees), employees of our advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to us, directors of the advisor or of entities that provide services to us, certain of our consultants and certain consultants to the advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to us. The total number of common shares reserved for issuance under the employee and director incentive restricted share plan is equal to 1.0% of our authorized shares.

Restricted share awards entitle the recipient to common shares from us under terms that provide for vesting over a specified period of time or upon attainment of pre-established performance objectives. Such awards would typically be forfeited with respect to the unvested shares upon the termination of the recipient’s employment or other relationship with us. Restricted shares may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the shares have vested. Holders of restricted shares may receive cash dividends prior to the time that the restrictions on the restricted shares have lapsed. Any dividends payable in common shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares. The Board of Directors has no present intention to issue any restricted shares under the employee and director incentive restricted share plan.

Compliance with the American Jobs Creation Act

This section supersedes and replaces the discussion contained in the Prospectus under the section of our Prospectus captioned “Compliance with the American Jobs Creation Act” on page 45.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As part of our strategy for compensating our independent directors, we have issued, and we intend to issue, options to purchase our common stock under our independent directors’ stock option plan, and we intend to issue, restricted share awards under our employee and director incentive restricted share plan, each of which described above This method of compensating individuals may possibly be considered to be a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

Under Section 409A, “nonqualified deferred compensation plans” must meet certain requirements regarding the timing of distributions or payments and the timing of agreements or elections to defer payments, and must also prohibit any possibility of acceleration of distributions or payments, as well as certain other requirements. Stock options with an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the date of grant would be considered a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan.” It is intended that the restricted share awards will not be considered “nonqualified deferred compensation.”

If Section 409A applies to any of the awards issued under the plan, or if Section 409A applies to any other arrangement or agreement that we may make, and if such award, arrangement or agreement does not meet the timing and other requirements of Section 409A, then (a) all amounts deferred for all taxable years under the award, arrangement or agreement would be currently includible in the gross income of the recipient of such award or of such deferred amount to the extent not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and not previously included in the gross income of the recipient, (b) interest at the underpayment rate plus 1% would be imposed on the underpayments that would have occurred had the compensation been includible in income when first deferred (or, if later, when not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture) would be imposed upon the recipient and (c) a 20% additional tax would be imposed on the recipient with respect to the amounts required to be included in the recipient’s income. Furthermore, if the affected individual is our employee, we would be required to withhold federal income taxes on the amount deferred but includible in income due to Section 409A, although there may be no funds currently being paid to the individual from which we could withhold such taxes. We would also be required to report on an appropriate form (W-2 or 1099) amounts which are deferred, whether or not they meet the requirements of Section 409A, and if we fail to do so, penalties could apply.

We do not intend to issue any award, or enter into any agreement or arrangement that would be considered a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” under Section 409A, unless such award, agreement or arrangement complies with the timing and other requirements of Section 409A. It is our current belief, based upon the statute, the regulations issued under Section 409A and legislative history, the options we have granted and that we currently intend to implement and the restricted share awards that we currently intend to grant will not be subject to taxation under Section 409A because neither the options nor the restricted share awards will be considered a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan.” Nonetheless, there can be no assurances that any options award, agreement or arrangement which we have entered into will not be affected by Section 409A, or that any such award, agreement or arrangement will not be subject to income taxation under Section 409A.

Dealer Manager

The information is to supplement the section of our Prospectus captioned “Dealer Manager” on pages 51 – 52 of the Prospectus.

Effective January 28, 2010, Bradford Watt resigned as President of Realty Capital Securities, LLC.

Louisa Quatro is the President and Secretary of Realty Capital Securities, LLC.

Effective March 8, 2010, Nicholas Corvinus resigned as Chief Executive Officer of Realty Capital Securities, LLC and Michael Weil was simultaneously appointed Chief Executive Officer of Realty Capital Securities, LLC to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Corvinus’ resignation.

Acquisition of Properties from Affiliates

The following disclosure is to be added to the section of our Prospectus entitled “Acquisition of Properties from Affiliates” on pages 82 – 84 of the Prospectus.

Effective March 31, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the recommendation of the officers of the Company that the Company not pursue any opportunities to acquire real property from an entity affiliated with its advisor, American Realty Capital Advisor, LLC. It was determined the foregoing recommendation would be

On March 9, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the recommendation of the officers of the Company that the Company continue not to pursue any opportunities to acquire real property from an entity affiliated with its advisor.

Nicholas S. Schorsch

During the period 1998-2002, our sponsor, Nicholas S. Schorsch, sponsored seven private programs, consisting of First States Properties, L.P., First States Partners, L.P., First States Partners II, First States Partners III, First States Holdings, Chester Court Realty and Dresher Court Realty, which raised approximately $38,300,000 from 93 investors that acquired properties with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $272,285,000. These private programs, or Predecessor Entities, financed their investments with investor equity and institutional first mortgages. These properties are located throughout the United States as indicated in the table below. Ninety-four percent of the properties acquired were bank branches and 6% of the properties acquired were office buildings. None of the properties included in the aforesaid figures were newly constructed. Each of these Predecessor Entities is similar to our program because they invested in long-term net lease commercial properties. The Predecessor Entities properties are located as follows:

American Financial Realty Trust

In 2002, American Financial Realty Trust (AFRT) was founded by Nicholas S. Schorsch. In September and October 2002, AFRT sold approximately 40.8 million common shares in a Rule 144A private placement. These sales resulted in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $378.6 million. Simultaneous with the sale of such shares, AFRT acquired certain real estate assets from a predecessor entity for an aggregate purchase price of $230.5 million, including the assumption of indebtedness, consisting of a portfolio of 87 bank branches and six office buildings containing approximately 1.5 million rentable square feet. Mr. Schorsch was the President, CEO and Vice-Chairman of AFRT since its inception as a REIT in September 2002 until August 2006. Mr. Kahane was the Chairman of the Finance Committee of AFRT’s Board of Trustees since its inception as a REIT in September 2002 until August 2006. AFRT went public on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2003 in what was at the time the second largest real estate investment trust initial public offering in U.S. history, raising over $800 million. Three years following its initial public offering, AFRT was an industry leader, acquiring over $4.3 billion in assets, over 1,110 properties (net of dispositions) in more than 37 states, over 35.0 million square feet, 175 employees and a well diversified portfolio of bank tenants.

The following information has been obtained from AFRT’s public documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

AFRT is a self-managed, publicly traded REIT and as such does not have the same fee structure as American Realty Capital Trust, Inc. does and being self-managed does not have an external advisor that receives fees. Therefore AFRT is not subject to the same types of fees and expenses that American Realty Capital Trust, Inc. pays to our advisor and its affiliates.
