Note 1 — Organization

American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. (including, as required by context, New York City Operating Partnership L.P., and its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated on December 19, 2013 as a Maryland corporation and elected and qualified to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“REIT”) beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2014. On April 24, 2014, the Company commenced its initial public offering (the "IPO") on a "reasonable best efforts" basis of up to 30.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a price of $25.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, for total gross proceeds of up to $750.0 million , pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-194135 ) (the "Registration Statement") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration Statement also covered up to 10.5 million shares available pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRIP") under which the Company's common stockholders may elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $23.75 per share, which is equal to 95% of the offering price in the IPO.

On May 29, 2014, the Company received and accepted subscriptions in excess of the minimum offering amount for the IPO of $2.0 million in shares, broke general escrow and issued shares of common stock to initial investors who were admitted as stockholders of the Company. In February 2015, as permitted, the Company reallocated the remaining 10.0 million DRIP shares available under the Registration Statement to the primary offering. On May 22, 2015, the Company registered an additional 25.0 million shares to be issued pursuant to the DRIP pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-204433). The Company closed its IPO on May 31, 2015, and continued to accept subscriptions in process as of that date. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company had 30.4 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, and had received total gross proceeds from the IPO and DRIP of $754.9 million , inclusive of $35.9 million from the DRIP and net of repurchases.

The Company expects to establish its estimated net asset value per share of common stock ("Estimated Per-Share NAV") no later than October 26, 2016, which is 150 days following the second anniversary of the date that the Company broke escrow in the IPO. After the Company has initially established its Estimated Per-Share NAV, the Company expects to update it periodically, at the discretion of the Company's board of directors, provided that such updated estimates will be made at least once annually.

The Company was formed to invest its assets in properties in the five boroughs of New York City, with a focus on Manhattan. The Company may also purchase for investment purposes certain real estate investment assets that accompany office properties, including retail spaces and amenities, as well as hospitality assets, residential assets and other property types exclusively in New York City. All such properties may be acquired and owned by the Company alone or jointly with another party. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company owned six properties consisting of 1,091,571 rentable square feet.

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through New York City Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”). The Company has no employees. New York City Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor") manages the Company's affairs on a day-to-day basis. New York City Properties, LLC (the “Property Manager”) manages our properties, unless services are performed by a third party for specific properties. The Advisor and Property Manager are under common control with AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR Capital, LLC, "AR Global"), the parent of the Company's sponsor, American Realty Capital III, LLC (the "Sponsor"), as a result of which they are related parties, and each of these entities has received or will receive compensation, fees and expense reimbursements for services related to the IPO and the investment and management of the Company's assets. The Advisor, New York City Special Limited Partner, LLC (the "Special Limited Partner"), which is also under common control with AR Global, and Property Manager have also received or will also receive fees, distributions and other compensation during the offering, acquisition, operational and liquidation stages.

The Company is the sole general partner and holds substantially all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP (“OP Units”). The Advisor contributed $2,020 to the OP in exchange for 90 OP Units, which represents a nominal percentage of the aggregate OP ownership. A holder of OP Units has the right to convert OP Units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of the Company's common stock or, at the option of the OP, a corresponding number of shares of the Company's common stock, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the OP, provided, however, that such OP Units must have been outstanding for at least one year. The remaining rights of the limited partners in the OP are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the general partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OP's assets.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year or any subsequent interim period.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 , which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2016. There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during six months ended June 30, 2016 , other than the updates described below:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance which requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise to provide goods or services to a customer is performed in a principal or agent capacity and to recognize revenue in a gross or net manner based on its principal/agent designation. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that changes how entities measure credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost. The update eliminates the requirement that a credit loss must be probable before it can be recognized and instead requires an entity to recognize the current estimate of all expected credit losses. Additionally, the update requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be carried as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down of the asset. The amendments become effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments may be adopted early for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the FASB amended the accounting for consolidation of certain legal entities. The amendments modify the evaluation of whether certain legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIE") or voting interest entities, eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs (particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships). The revised guidance is effective for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and has determined the OP is considered to be a VIE and continues to consolidate the OP as required under previous GAAP. However, the Company meets the disclosure exemption criteria as the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the Company’s partnership interest is considered a majority voting interest in a business and the assets of the OP can be used for purposes other than settling its obligations, such as paying distributions. As such, the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB amended the presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet. The amendment requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability and that the entity apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis. In August 2015, the FASB added that, for line of credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line, regardless of whether or not there are any outstanding borrowings. The revised guidance is effective for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. As a result of adoption of the new guidance, the Company has reclassified deferred financing costs, net related to mortgage notes payable of $5.0 million and $2.8 million , respectively, as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 as a reduction of the carrying amount of its mortgage note payable. See Note 5 — Mortgage Note Payable .

(Unaudited)

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update that changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based compensation. Among other things, the revised guidance allows companies to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted the provisions of this guidance beginning January 1, 2016 and determined that there is no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company's policy is to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Note 3 — Real Estate Investments

On June 15, 2016, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the OP, completed its acquisition of the leasehold interest in an institutional-quality office building located at 1140 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, New York ("1140 Avenue of the Americas"). 1140 Avenue of the Americas comprises 249,703 square feet and is subject to a ground lease held by 1140 Sixth Avenue LLC. The seller of 1140 Avenue of the Americas was BPGL Holdings LLC. The contract purchase price for 1140 Avenue of the Americas was $180.0 million , exclusive of closing costs. The Company funded the purchase price with proceeds from the Company's IPO and a mortgage loan from Ladder Capital Finance I LLC (see Note 5 — Mortgage Note Payable ). The Company accounted for the purchase of 1140 Avenue of the Americas as a business combination and incurred acquisition related costs of $4.3 million , which are reflected in the acquisition and transaction related line item of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The following table presents the allocation of the real estate assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 as well as the weighted-average remaining amortization period (in years) as of the acquisition date for intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Note 4 — Investment Securities

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company had an investment in an equity security with a fair value of $0.5 million . The equity security consists of a mutual fund managed by an affiliate of the Sponsor. See Note 9 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements . This investment is considered to be an available-for-sale security and therefore increases or decreases in the fair value of this investment are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets unless the security is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired, at which time the losses would be reclassified to expense.

(1)	The Company may borrow up to $110.0 million subject to compliance with certain provisions as described in the terms of the mortgage agreement.


(2)	Interest rate is one month LIBOR, which was 0.459% at June 30, 2016 , plus a margin of 2.25% , based on a 360 day year.


(3)	The Company has a one-time option to extend the maturity date by one year .

Real estate assets of $443.1 million , at cost (net of below-market lease liabilities), at June 30, 2016 have been pledged as collateral to the Company's mortgage note payable and are not available to satisfy the Company's other obligations unless first satisfying the mortgage note payable on the property. The Company makes payments of interest on its mortgage note payable on a monthly basis.

The following table summarizes the scheduled aggregate principal payments subsequent to June 30, 2016 :

The Company's mortgage note payable requires compliance with certain property-level debt covenants. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants under its mortgage note agreement.

Note 6 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the instrument. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the instrument, as applicable, including the period to maturity, and may use observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities, and unobservable inputs, such as expected volatility. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

Table of Contents

AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL NEW YORK CITY REIT, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2016

(Unaudited)



Level 1	—	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2	—	Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.

Level 3	—	Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company has an investment in a real estate income fund that is traded in active markets and therefore, due to the availability of quoted market prices in active markets, classifies this investment as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents information about the Company's asset measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which that instrument falls.



	Quoted Prices in Active Markets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs
(In thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
June 30, 2016
Investment Securities	$	498	$	—	$	—	$	498
December 31, 2015
Investment Securities	$	472	$	—	$	—	$	472

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015 .

Financial instruments not carried at fair value

The Company is required to disclose at least annually the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and distributions payable approximates their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the Company's financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet are reported below:



		June 30, 2016
(In thousands)	Level	Gross Principal Balance		Fair Value
Mortgage note payable — 1140 Avenue of the Americas	3	$	99,000	$	103,542

As of December 31, 2015 , the Company did not have any financial instruments not carried at fair value or an amount that approximates fair value. The fair value of the mortgage note payable on 123 William Street is deemed to be equivalent to its carrying value because it bears interest at a variable rate that fluctuates with market rates and there has been no material change in the credit risk or credit markets since origination.

Note 7 — Common Stock

As of June 30, 2016 , the Company had 30.4 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, and had received total proceeds from public offerings of $754.9 million , inclusive of $35.9 million from the DRIP and net of repurchases. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had 30.4 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, and had received total gross proceeds of $754.6 million , inclusive of $24.9 million from the DRIP.

In May 2014, the board of directors of the Company authorized, and the Company declared, a distribution payable to stockholders of record each day during the applicable period equal to $0.0041438356 per day, which is equivalent to $1.5125 per annum, per share of common stock. In March 2016, the board of directors of the Company ratified the existing distribution amount equivalent to $1.5125 per annum, per share of common stock, and, for calendar year 2016, affirmed a change to the daily distribution payable to stockholders of record each day during the applicable period to $0.004132513665 per day per share of common stock to accurately reflect that 2016 is a leap year. The distributions are payable by the 5th day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month. Distribution payments are dependent on the availability of funds. The board of directors may reduce the amount of distributions paid or suspend distribution payments at any time and therefore distribution payments are not assured.

The Company has a Share Repurchase Program ("SRP") that enables stockholders, subject to certain conditions and limitations, to sell their shares to the Company. Under the SRP, stockholders may request that the Company repurchase all or any portion of their shares of common stock, if such repurchase does not impair the Company's capital or operations.

On January 25, 2016, the Company's board of directors approved an amendment to the SRP to supersede and replace the existing SRP. Under the SRP amendment, repurchases of shares of the Company's common stock, when requested, are at the sole discretion of the Company's board of directors and generally will be made semiannually (each six-month period ending June 30 or December 31, a "fiscal semester").

Prior to the establishment of Estimated Per-Share NAV, the purchase price per share for requests other than for death or disability under the SRP depends on the length of time investors have held such shares as follows (in each case, as adjusted for any stock distributions, combinations, splits and recapitalizations):


•	after one year from the purchase date - the lower of $23.13 and 92.5% of the amount they actually paid for each share; and,


•	after two years from the purchase date - the lower of $23.75 and 95.0% of the amount they actually paid for each share.

Prior to the establishment of Estimated Per-Share NAV, in the case of requests for death or disability, the repurchase price per share is equal to the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company.

Following the establishment of Estimated Per-Share NAV, the purchase price per share for requests other than for death or disability under the SRP depends on the length of time investors have held such shares as follows (in each case, as adjusted for any stock distributions, combinations, splits and recapitalizations):


•	after one year from the purchase date - 92.5% of the Estimated Per-Share NAV;


•	after two years from the purchase date - 95.0% of the Estimated Per-Share NAV;


•	after three years from the purchase date - 97.5% of the Estimated Per-Share NAV; and,


•	after four years from the purchase date - 100.0% of the Estimated Per-Share NAV.

Subsequent to the establishment of Estimated Per-Share NAV, in the case of requests for death or disability, the repurchase price per share is equal to the Estimated Per-Share NAV at the time of the repurchase.

Repurchases for any fiscal semester will be limited to a maximum of 2.5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the previous fiscal year, with a maximum for any fiscal year of 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year. In addition, the Company is only authorized to repurchase shares in a given fiscal semester up to the amount of proceeds received from the DRIP in that same fiscal semester, as well as any reservation of funds the Company's board of directors, may, in its sole discretion, make available for this purpose. If the establishment of an Estimated Per-Share NAV occurs during any fiscal semester, any repurchase requests received during such fiscal semester will be paid at the Estimated Per-Share NAV applicable on the last day of the fiscal semester. The SRP amendment was effective beginning on February 28, 2016.

As permitted under the SRP, the Company’s board of directors authorized, with respect to redemption requests received during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the repurchase of shares validly submitted for repurchase in an amount equal to the amount of proceeds received from the DRIP in that same fiscal semester, representing less than all the shares validly submitted for repurchase during the six months ended June 30, 2016 . Accordingly, in July 2016, 451,071 shares were repurchased for $10.7 million at an average repurchase price per share of $23.61 (including all shares submitted for death or disability), while requests to repurchase 881,693 shares for $20.5 million at an average price per share of $23.21 were not fulfilled. Additionally, during April 2016, 3,573 additional shares submitted for death or disability were repurchased for $0.1 million at an average repurchase price of $25.00 .

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation, claims and regulatory matters. There are no material legal or regulatory proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company.

Environmental Matters

In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters.

Note 9 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements

As of June 30, 2016 , an entity wholly owned by the Sponsor owned 8,888 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the "Former Dealer Manager") served as the dealer manager of the IPO, which was ongoing from September 2010 to December 2013, and, together with its affiliates, continued to provide the Company with various services through December 31, 2015. RCS Capital Corporation ("RCAP"), the parent company of the Former Dealer Manager and certain of its affiliates that provided services to the Company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2016, prior to which it was also under common control with AR Global, the parent of the Sponsor. In May 2016, RCAP and its affiliated debtors emerged from bankruptcy under the new name, Aretec Group, Inc.

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had $0.5 million invested in a mutual fund managed by an affiliate of the Sponsor. See Note 4 — Investment Securities . There is no obligation to purchase any additional shares and the shares can be sold at any time. The Company recognized income from investment securities of approximately $4,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 . The Company recognized income from investment securities of approximately $7,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Fees Paid in Connection with the IPO

The Former Dealer Manager was paid fees and compensation in connection with the sale of the Company's common stock in the IPO. The Former Dealer Manager was paid a selling commission of up to 7.0% of the per share purchase price of offering proceeds before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers. In addition, the Former Dealer Manager was paid up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares as a dealer manager fee. The Former Dealer Manager was able to reallow its dealer manager fee to participating broker-dealers. A participating broker-dealer had the option to elect to receive a fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares (not including selling commissions and dealer manager fees) by such participating broker-dealer, with 2.5% thereof paid at the time of such sale and 1.0% thereof paid on each anniversary of the closing of such sale up to and including the fifth anniversary of the closing of such sale. If this option was elected, the dealer manager fee would have been reduced to 2.5% of gross proceeds (not including selling commissions and dealer manager fees).

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company had a receivable from the Advisor totaling $0.8 million related to excess offering and related costs.

Fees and Participations Paid in Connection With the Operations of the Company

The Advisor is paid an acquisition fee of 1.5% of (A) the contract purchase price of each acquired property and (B) the amount advanced for a loan or other investment. The Advisor is also reimbursed for expenses actually incurred related to selecting, evaluating and acquiring assets on the Company's behalf, regardless of whether the Company actually acquires the related assets. Specifically, the Company pays the Advisor or its affiliates for any services provided for which they incur investment-related expenses, or insourced expenses. Such insourced expenses are fixed initially at and may not exceed 0.50% of the contract purchase price of each property and 0.50% of the amount advanced for each loan or other investment, which is paid at the closing of each such investment. The Advisor is also reimbursed for legal expenses incurred in the process of acquiring properties, in an amount not to exceed 0.10% of the contract purchase price. In addition, the Company also pays third parties, or reimburses the Advisor for any investment-related expenses due to third parties. In no event will the total of all acquisition fees, acquisition expenses and any financing coordination fees (as described below) payable with respect to the Company's portfolio of investments exceed 4.5% of (A) the contract purchase price or (B) the amount advanced for all loans or other investments. Once the proceeds from the primary offering have been fully invested, the aggregate amount of acquisition fees and any financing coordination fees may not exceed 1.5% of (A) the contract purchase price and (B) the amount advanced for a loan or other investment, as applicable, for all the assets acquired.

If the Advisor provides services in connection with the origination or refinancing of any debt that the Company obtains and uses to acquire properties or to make other permitted investments, or that is assumed, directly or indirectly, in connection with the acquisition of properties, the Company pays the Advisor a financing coordination fee equal to 0.75% of the amount made available or outstanding under such financing, subject to certain limitations.

Until September 30, 2015, for its asset management services, the Company issued to the Advisor an asset management subordinated participation by causing the OP to issue (subject to periodic approval by the board of directors) to the Advisor performance-based, restricted, forfeitable partnership units in the OP designated as “Class B Units” on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to: (i) the product of (y) 0.1875% multiplied by (z) the cost of the Company's assets divided by (ii) the value of one share of common stock as of the last day of such calendar quarter, which is equal initially to $22.50 (the primary offering price minus selling commissions and dealer manager fees). The Class B Units are intended to be profits interests and will vest, and no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (a) the value of the OP's assets plus all distributions made by the Company to its stockholders equals or exceeds the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6.0% cumulative, pretax, non-compounded annual return thereon, or the "economic hurdle;" (b) any one of the following events occurs concurrently with or subsequently to the achievement of the economic hurdle described above: (i) a listing of the Company's common stock on a national securities exchange; (ii) a transaction to which the Company or the OP is a party, as a result of which OP Units or the Company's common stock are or will be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of such securities will otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof; or (iii) the termination of the advisory agreement without cause by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's independent directors after the economic hurdle has been met; and (c) the Advisor pursuant to the advisory agreement is providing services to the Company immediately prior to the occurrence of an event of the type described in clause (b) above, unless the failure to provide such services is attributable to the termination without cause of the advisory agreement by an affirmative vote of the majority of the Company's independent directors after the economic hurdle has been met (the "performance condition"). The value of issued Class B Units will be determined and expensed when the Company deems the achievement of the performance condition to be probable. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company cannot determine the probability of achieving the performance condition. The Advisor receives distributions on its vested and unvested Class B Units at the same rate as distributions received on the Company's common stock. Such distributions on issued Class B Units are expensed in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss until the performance condition is considered probable to occur. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company's board of directors has approved the issuance of 159,159 Class B Units in connection with the arrangement. Beginning on October 1, 2015, and in lieu of the asset management subordinated participation, the Company pays an asset management fee to the Advisor or its assignees as compensation for services rendered in connection with the management of the Company’s assets. The asset management fee is payable on the first business day of each month in the amount of 0.0625% multiplied by (i) the cost of the Company's assets for the preceding monthly period or (ii) during the period of time after the Company publishes NAV, the lower of the cost of assets and the estimated fair market value of the Company’s assets as reported in the applicable periodic or current report filed with the SEC disclosing the fair market value. The Company paid $1.0 million and $2.0 million in cash asset management fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. The Company did not pay any cash asset management fees during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Unless the Company contracts with a third party, the Company pays the Property Manager a property management fee equal to: (i) for non-hotel properties, 4.0% of gross revenues from the properties managed, plus market-based leasing commissions; and (ii) for hotel properties, a market-based fee based on a percentage of gross revenues. The Company also reimburses the Property Manager for property-level expenses. The Property Manager may subcontract the performance of its property management and leasing services duties to third parties and pay all or a portion of its property management fee to the third parties with whom it contracts for these services. The Company paid $0.1 million and $0.2 million in property management fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 . The Company did not pay any property management fees during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015 .

The Company reimburses the Advisor’s costs of providing administrative services, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which the Company’s operating expenses at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of (a) 2.0% of average invested assets and (b) 25.0% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debt, impairments or other similar non-cash expenses and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period, unless the Company's independent directors determine that such excess was justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, in which case the excess amount may be reimbursed to the Advisor in subsequent periods. Additionally, the Company reimburses the Advisor for personnel costs in connection with other services; however, the Company may not reimburse the Advisor for personnel costs in connection with services for which the Advisor receives acquisition fees or real estate commissions. Total reimbursement of costs and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.4 million and $0.8 million , respectively. No reimbursement was incurred for the three or six months ended June 30, 2015 .

The predecessor to the parent of the Sponsor was party to a services agreement with RCS Advisory Services, LLC, a subsidiary of the parent company of the Former Dealer Manager ("RCS Advisory"), pursuant to which RCS Advisory and its affiliates provided the Company and certain other companies sponsored by the Sponsor with services (including, without limitation, transaction management, compliance, due diligence, event coordination and marketing services, among others) on a time and expenses incurred basis or at a flat rate based on services performed. The predecessor to the parent of the Sponsor instructed RCS Advisory to stop providing such services in November 2015 and no services have since been provided by RCS Advisory.

The Company was also party to a transfer agency agreement with American National Stock Transfer, LLC, ("ANST") a subsidiary of the parent company of the Former Dealer Manager, pursuant to which ANST provided the Company with transfer agency services (including broker and stockholder servicing, transaction processing, year-end Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") reporting and other services), and supervisory services overseeing the transfer agency services performed by DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), a third-party transfer agent. The Sponsor received written notice from ANST on February 10, 2016 that it would wind down operations by the end of the month and would withdraw as the transfer agent effective February 29, 2016. DST continued to provide the Company with transfer agency services and, on March 10, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with DST to provide the Company directly with transfer agency services (including broker and stockholder servicing, transaction processing, year-end IRS reporting and other services). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , the fees for services from DST are included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the period in which the service was provided.

(1)	Beginning in the third quarter 2015, fees related to property management and leasing were charged to the Company.

Fees and Participations Paid in Connection with Liquidation or Listing

The Company will pay to the Advisor an annual subordinated performance fee calculated on the basis of the Company’s return to stockholders, payable annually in arrears, such that for any year in which investors receive payment of 6.0% per annum, the Advisor will be entitled to 15.0% of the excess return, provided that the amount paid to the Advisor does not exceed 10.0% of the aggregate return for such year, and that the amount paid to the Advisor will not be paid unless investors receive a return of capital contributions. This fee will be paid only upon the sale of assets, distributions or other event which results in the return on stockholders’ capital exceeding 6.0% per annum. No subordinated performance fees were incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 .

The Company will pay a brokerage commission to the Advisor or its affiliates on the sale of properties, not to exceed the lesser of 2.0% of the contract sale price of the property and 50.0% of the total brokerage commission paid if a third party broker is also involved; provided, however, that in no event may the real estate commissions paid to the Advisor, its affiliates and unaffiliated third parties exceed the lesser of 6.0% of the contract sales price and a reasonable, customary and competitive real estate commission, in each case, payable to the Advisor if the Advisor or its affiliates, as determined by a majority of the independent directors, provided a substantial amount of services in connection with the sale. No such fees were incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 .

Upon a sale of all or substantially all assets, the Special Limited Partner will receive a subordinated distribution from the OP equal to 15.0% of remaining net sale proceeds after return of capital contributions to investors plus payment to investors of an annual 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded return on the capital contributed by investors. The Special Limited Partner will not be entitled to the subordinated participation in net sale proceeds unless the Company’s investors have received a return of their capital plus a 6.0% cumulative non-compounded annual return on their capital contributions. No such participation in net sales proceeds became due and payable during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 .

If the Company’s shares of common stock are listed on a national exchange, the Special Limited Partner will receive a subordinated incentive listing distribution from the OP equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the Company’s market value plus distributions exceeds the aggregate capital contributed by investors plus an amount equal to a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded annual return to investors. The Special Limited Partner will not be entitled to the subordinated incentive listing distribution unless investors have received a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded annual return on their capital contributions. No such distributions were incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 . Neither the Special Limited Partner nor any of its affiliates can earn both the subordinated participation in net sales proceeds and the subordinated incentive listing distribution.

Upon termination or non-renewal of the advisory agreement with or without cause, the Special Limited Partner will be entitled to receive distributions from the OP equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the sum of the Company’s market value plus distributions exceeds the sum of the aggregate capital contributed by investors plus an amount equal to an annual 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return to investors. The Special Limited Partner may elect to defer its right to receive a subordinated distribution upon termination until either a listing on a national securities exchange or other liquidity event occurs.

Note 10 — Economic Dependency

Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage the Advisor, its affiliates and entities under common control with the Advisor to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of properties owned by the Company, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services, transaction management and investor relations.

As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon the Advisor and its affiliates. In the event that the Advisor and its affiliates are unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company will be required to find alternative providers of these services.

Note 11 — Share-Based Compensation

Restricted Share Plan

The Company has an employee and director incentive restricted share plan (the “RSP”), which provides for the automatic grant of 1,333 restricted shares of common stock to each of the independent directors, without any further approval by the Company’s board of directors or the stockholders, after initial election to the board of directors and after each annual stockholder meeting, with such shares vesting annually beginning with the one year anniversary of initial election to the board of directors and the date of the next annual meeting, respectively. Restricted stock issued to independent directors will vest over a five -year period in increments of 20.0% per annum. The RSP provides the Company with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to the Company's directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, certain consultants to the Company and the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to the Company. The total number of common shares granted under the RSP shall not exceed 5.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis at any time and in any event will not exceed 1.5 million shares (as such number may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar events).

Restricted share awards entitle the recipient to receive shares of common stock from the Company under terms that provide for vesting over a specified period of time. For restricted share awards granted prior to July 1, 2015, such awards would typically be forfeited with respect to the unvested shares upon the termination of the recipient's employment or other relationship with the Company. For restricted share awards granted on or after July 1, 2015, such awards provide for accelerated vesting of the portion of the unvested shares scheduled to vest in the year of the recipient's voluntary termination or the failure to be re-elected to the board. 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 distributions prior to the time that the restrictions on the restricted shares have lapsed. Any distributions payable in shares of common stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares.

The following table displays restricted share award activity during the six months ended June 30, 2016 :



	Number of Restricted Shares	Weighted-Average Issue Price
Unvested, December 31, 2015	4,799	$	22.50
Granted	1,333	22.50
Unvested, June 30, 2016	6,132	$	22.50

As of June 30, 2016 , the Company had $0.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted share awards granted under the Company's RSP. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.7 years. Restricted share awards are expensed in accordance with the service period required. Compensation expense related to restricted stock was approximately $7,000 and $20,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, and approximately $3,000 and $2,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively. Compensation expense was lower for the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to the resignation of a board member and the reversal of the corresponding accumulated compensation expense associated with the forfeiture of that director's restricted shares. Compensation expense related to restricted stock is recorded as general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Other Share-Based Compensation

The Company may issue common stock in lieu of cash to pay fees earned by the Company's directors at the respective director's election. There are no restrictions on the shares issued. There were no shares of common stock issued in lieu of cash during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015 .

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. (including, as required by context, New York City Operating Partnership, L.P. and its subsidiaries, the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "seeks," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "plans," "intends," "should" or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.

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 have a limited operating history which makes our future performance difficult to predict;

•

All of our executive officers are also officers, managers or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, New York City Advisors, LLC (our "Advisor") and other entities affiliated with AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR Capital, LLC, "AR Global"); as a result, our executive officers, our Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our Advisor's compensation arrangements with us and other investor entities advised by AR Global affiliates and conflicts in allocating time among these entities and us, which could negatively impact our operating results;


•	We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants;


•	We may not be able to achieve our rental rate objectives on new and renewal leases and our expenses could be greater, which may impact operations;


•	Our properties may be adversely affected by economic cycles and risks inherent to the New York metropolitan statistical area, especially New York City;


•	We have not generated and may not generate cash flows from operations sufficient to cover distributions paid to stockholders; as such, we may be unable to maintain cash distributions or increase distributions over time;


•	We are obligated to pay fees, which may be substantial, to our Advisor and its affiliates;


•	We may fail to continue to qualify to be treated as a real estate investment trust for United States federal income tax purposes ("REIT");

•

Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other AR Global-advised programs or investors, our Advisor and its affiliates may face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and other investments and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, meaning that we could invest in less attractive assets, which could reduce the investment return to our stockholders;


•	We are party to an investment opportunity allocation agreement with another program that is sponsored by American Realty Capital III, LLC (our "Sponsor"), pursuant to which we may not have the first opportunity to acquire all properties identified by 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;


•	If we and our Advisor are unable to find suitable investments, then we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives, or pay distributions with cash flows from operations;


•	Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay distributions;


•	In the second quarter of 2016 our cash flows from operations was negative, and we do not expect to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in 2016 to fund distributions at our current level;


•	We cannot assure our stockholders that we will be able to continue to pay distributions or that distributions will increase over time;


•	We may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act; and

Table of Contents


•	As of June 30, 2016 , we owned only six properties and therefore have limited diversification.

Overview

We were incorporated on December 19, 2013 as a Maryland corporation and elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. On April 24, 2014, we commenced our initial public offering ("IPO") on a "reasonable best efforts" basis of up to 30.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a price of $25.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, for total gross proceeds of up to $750.0 million , pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-194135 ) (the "Registration Statement") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration Statement also covered up to 10.5 million shares available pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRIP") under which our common stockholders may elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock at a price of $23.75 per share, which is equal to 95% of the offering price in the IPO.

On May 29, 2014, we received and accepted subscriptions in excess of the minimum offering amount for the IPO of $2.0 million in shares, broke general escrow and issued shares of common stock to initial investors who were admitted as stockholders. In February 2015, as permitted, we reallocated the remaining 10.0 million DRIP shares available under the Registration Statement to the primary offering. On May 22, 2015, we registered an additional 25.0 million shares to be issued pursuant to the DRIP pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-204433). We closed our IPO on May 31, 2015, and continued to accept subscriptions in process as of that date. As of June 30, 2016 , we had 30.4 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, and had received total gross proceeds from the IPO and the DRIP of $754.9 million , inclusive of $35.9 million from the DRIP. The per share purchase price in the IPO was up to $25.00 per share (including the maximum allowed to be charged for commissions and fees) and shares issued under the DRIP is equal to $23.75 per share, which is equal to 95% of the offering price in the primary offering.

We expect to establish our estimated net asset value per share of common stock ("Estimated Per-Share NAV") no later than October 26, 2016, which is 150 days following the second anniversary of the date that we broke escrow in the IPO. After we have initially established our Estimated Per-Share NAV, we expect to update it periodically, at the discretion of our board of directors, provided that such updated estimates will be made at least once annually.

We were formed to invest our assets in properties in the five boroughs of New York City, with a focus on Manhattan. We may also purchase certain real estate assets that accompany office properties, including retail spaces and amenities, as well as hospitality assets, residential assets and other property types exclusively in New York City. All such properties may be acquired and owned by us alone or jointly with another party. As of June 30, 2016 , we owned six properties consisting of 1,091,571 rentable square feet, which were 89.3% leased, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 6.8 years. Our six properties include one commercial property, one property consisting of three condominium units (one retail unit, a parking garage and one office unit), one parking garage and three institutional-quality office buildings.

Substantially all of our business is conducted through New York City Operating Partnership, L.P. a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”). We are the sole general partner and hold substantially all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP, entitled "OP Units" (“OP Units”). The Advisor contributed $2,020 to the OP in exchange for 90 OP Units, which represents a nominal percentage of the aggregate OP ownership. A holder of OP Units has the right to convert OP Units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of our common stock or, at the option of the OP, a corresponding number of shares of our common stock, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the OP, provided, however, that such OP Units must have been outstanding for at least one year. The remaining rights of the limited partners in the OP are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the general partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OP's assets.

We have no employees. Our Advisor manages our affairs on a day-to-day basis. New York City Properties, LLC (our "Property Manager") manages our properties, unless services are performed by a third party for specific properties. The Advisor and Property Manager are under common control with AR Global, the parent of our Sponsor, as a result of which they are related parties and have received or will continue to receive compensation, fees and expense reimbursements for services related to the investment and management of our assets.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. These significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies include:

Table of Contents

Offering and Related Costs

All offering costs incurred by us, our Advisor and its affiliates on our behalf are charged to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets. Offering and related costs include all expenses incurred in connection with our IPO. Offering costs (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fees) include costs that may be paid by the Advisor, the Former Dealer Manager or their affiliates on our behalf. These costs include but are not limited to (i) legal, accounting, printing, mailing, and filing fees; (ii) escrow service related fees; (iii) reimbursement of the Former Dealer Manager for amounts it may pay to reimburse itemized and detailed due diligence expenses of broker-dealers; and (iv) reimbursement to the Advisor for a portion of the costs of its employees and other costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales materials and related offering activities. We are obligated to reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs paid by them on our behalf, provided that the Advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent organization and offering costs (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) incurred by us in our IPO exceed 2.0% of gross offering proceeds in the IPO. As a result, these costs are our liability to the extent aggregate selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering costs are less than 12.0% of the gross proceeds determined at the end of the IPO.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues, which are derived primarily from rental income, include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Because many of our leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") require us to record a receivable, and include in revenues on a straight-line basis, unbilled rent receivables that we will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. We defer the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. When we acquire a property, the acquisition date is considered to be the commencement date for the purposes of this calculation.

Rental revenue recognition commences when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space. For the tenant to take possession, the leased space must be substantially ready for its intended use. To determine whether the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use, we evaluate whether we own or if the tenant owns the tenant improvements. When we are the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of the finished space, which is when such improvements are substantially complete. When we conclude that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the space.

When we conclude that we are the owner of tenant improvements, we capitalize the cost to construct the tenant improvements, including costs paid for or reimbursed by the tenants. When we conclude that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record our contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is included in deferred leasing costs, net on the consolidated balance sheets and amortized as a reduction to rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

We continually review receivables related to rent and unbilled rent receivables and determine collectability by taking into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable is in doubt, we will record an increase in our allowance for uncollectible accounts or record a direct write-off of the receivable in our consolidated statements of operations.

We may own certain properties with leases that include provisions for the tenant to pay contingent rental income based on a percent of the tenant's sales upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds or other targets which may be monthly, quarterly or annual targets. As the lessor to the aforementioned leases, we defer the recognition of contingent rental income until the specified target that triggered the contingent rental income is achieved, or until such sales upon which percentage rent is based are known. If we own certain properties with leases that include these provisions, contingent rental income will be included in rental income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Cost recoveries from tenants are included in operating expense reimbursement in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable.

Investments in Real Estate

We evaluate the inputs, processes and outputs of each asset acquired to determine if the transaction is a business combination or asset acquisition. If an acquisition qualifies as a business combination, the related transaction costs are recorded as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations. If an acquisition qualifies as an asset acquisition, the related transaction costs are generally capitalized and subsequently amortized over the useful life of the acquired assets.

Table of Contents

In business combinations, we allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities and non-controlling interests based on their respective estimated fair values. Tangible assets may include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements. Intangible assets or liabilities may include the value of in-place leases, above- and below-market leases and other identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on lease or property specific characteristics.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property with an in-place operating lease is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to the tangible assets based on the fair value of the tangible assets. The fair value of in-place leases is determined by considering estimates of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions, as well as costs to execute similar leases. The fair value of above- or below-market leases is recorded based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and our estimate of the comparable fair market lease rate, measured over the remaining term of the lease. The fair value of other intangible assets, such as real estate tax abatements and signage rights, are recorded based on the present value of the expected benefit and amortized over the expected useful life including any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.

Fair values of assumed mortgages, if applicable, are recorded as debt premiums or discounts based on the present value of the estimated cash flows, which is calculated to account for either above- or below-market interest rates.

Non-controlling interests in property owning entities are recorded based on the fair value of units issued at the date of acquisition, as determined by the terms of the applicable agreement.

We utilize a number of sources in making our estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, including real estate valuations prepared by independent valuation firms. We also consider information and other factors including: market conditions, the industry in which the tenant operates, characteristics of the real estate such as location, size, demographics, value and comparative rental rates, tenant credit profile and the importance of the location of the real estate to the operations of the tenant’s business.

Disposals of real estate investments that represent a strategic shift in operations that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for all periods presented; otherwise, we continue to report these properties' operations within continuing operations. Properties that are intended to be sold will be designated as "held for sale" on the consolidated balance sheets at the lesser of carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs for all periods presented when they meet specific criteria to be presented as held for sale. Properties are no longer depreciated when they are classified as held for sale.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five to seven years for fixtures and improvements, and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

Acquired above-market leases are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Acquired below-market leases are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option periods.

The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above and below-market in-place leases, is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining periods of the respective leases.

Assumed mortgage premiums or discounts, if applicable, are amortized as a reduction or increase to interest expense over the remaining term of the respective mortgages.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, we review the asset for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If such estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss is based on the adjustment to estimated fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. Generally, we determine estimated fair value for properties held for sale based on the agreed-upon selling price of an asset. These assessments may result in the immediate recognition of an impairment loss resulting in a reduction to net income (loss).

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance which requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise to provide goods or services to a customer is performed in a principal or agent capacity and to recognize revenue in a gross or net manner based on its principal/agent designation. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that changes how entities measure credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost. The update eliminates the requirement that a credit loss must be probable before it can be recognized and instead requires an entity to recognize the current estimate of all expected credit losses. Additionally, the update requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be carried as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down of the asset. The amendments become effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments may be adopted early for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the FASB amended the accounting for consolidation of certain legal entities. The amendments modify the evaluation of whether certain legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIE") or voting interest entities, eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs (particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships). The revised guidance is effective for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary. We have evaluated the impact of the adoption of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and determined that the OP, which holds substantially all of our assets and liabilities, is considered to be a VIE. We meet the disclosure exemption criteria of the new guidance as we are the primary beneficiary of the OP and our partnership interest is considered a majority voting interest in a business, and the OP's assets can be used for purposes other than settling its obligations, such as paying distributions. Further, we have consolidated the OP even prior to the adoption of the new guidance. As such, the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB amended the presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet. The amendment requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability and that the entity apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis. In August 2015, the FASB added that, for line of credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line, regardless of whether or not there are any outstanding borrowings. The revised guidance is effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. As a result of adoption of the new guidance, we reclassified deferred financing costs, net related to mortgage notes payable as a reduction of the carrying amount of mortgage notes payable.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update that changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based compensation. Among other things, the revised guidance allows companies to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We have adopted the provisions of this guidance beginning January 1, 2016 and determined that there is no impact to our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our policy is to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 to Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

As of April 1, 2015, we owned five properties (our "Three-Month Same Store"). From April 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 , we acquired one property located at 1140 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, New York (our "Three-Month Acquisition"), and therefore as of June 30, 2016 we owned six properties. We purchased our Three-Month Acquisition in mid-June 2016 and therefore it had a limited impact on our results. Between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016 , some in-place leases at 123 William Street and 9 Times Square commenced and, therefore, began to impact our revenue and expenses. Accordingly, due to our Three-Month Same Store, specifically 123 William Street and 9 Times Square, our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 , reflect increases in most categories.

As of June 30, 2016 , 9 Times Square was 52.6% occupied. Subsequent to the acquisition of 9 Times Square in November 2014, we allowed leases to expire and terminate as part of the implementation of our repositioning, redeveloping and remarketing plan with respect to the property. Leasing activity with respect to the vacant office space at the property has been positive, largely driven by the success of our pre-build program. Leasing activity for the remodeled retail space at the building has been slower than expected, however, largely due to construction timing delays and excess retail space capacity in the Times Square sub-market. Continued delays or market weakness could suppress our financial results at this property.

Rental Income

Rental income increased $2.4 million to $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , from $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily due to our Three-Month Same Store which contributed $1.4 million. Our Three-Month Same Store increase was primarily due to lease commencements at 123 William Street, an acquisition that closed in March 2015, which contributed $1.2 million to the increase in Three-Month Same Store. Additionally, 9 Times Square contributed $0.3 million to the increase in Three-Month Same Store, primarily due to lease commencements. Our Three-Month Acquisition contributed $0.8 million to the remaining increase.

Operating Expense Reimbursements

Operating expense reimbursements increased $0.2 million to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily due to our Three-Month Same Store which contributed $0.2 million to the increase.

Pursuant to many of our lease agreements, tenants are required to pay their pro rata share of certain property operating expenses, in addition to base rent, whereas under certain other lease agreements, the tenants are directly responsible for most operating costs of the respective properties. Therefore, operating expense reimbursements are directly affected by changes in property operating expenses, although not all increases in property operating expenses may be reimbursed by our tenants.

Property Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses increased $1.1 million to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 , due to our Three-Month Same Store and our Three-Month Acquisition, which contributed $0.7 million and $0.4 million to the increase, respectively. Increases in property operating expenses at 123 William Street provided $0.5 million of the increase in Three-Month Same Store. The increase in property operating expenses primarily related to lease commencements and the increased costs of maintaining our six properties including real estate taxes, condominium fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance and property insurance.

Operating Fees incurred from Related Parties

We incurred $1.1 million in fees for asset and property management services from our Advisor and Property Manager for the three months ended June 30, 2016 . Until September 30, 2015, for its asset management services, we issued to the Advisor performance-based, restricted, forfeitable partnership units in the OP designated as "Class B Units." Beginning on October 1, 2015, we began paying monthly asset management fees in cash, in shares of common stock, or a combination of both, the form of payment to be determined at the sole discretion of the Advisor. We paid $1.0 million in cash for asset management fees for the three months ended June 30, 2016 .

Property management fees increase in direct correlation with gross revenue and amounted to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 . The Property Manager elected to waive property management fees for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , we would have incurred additional property management fees of approximately $0.1 million had these fees not been waived.

Acquisition and Transaction Related Expenses

We incurred $4.3 million of acquisition and transaction related expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 related to our Three-Month Acquisition. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , acquisition and transaction related expenses of $0.1 million primarily included costs related to acquisitions not completed during that period.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily due to general and administrative expense reimbursements incurred from our Advisor of $0.4 million . During the year ended December 31, 2015, our Advisor began requesting reimbursement of general and administrative expenses, which had not previously been requested, but no such reimbursement requests were made during the three months ended June 30, 2015 . Increased professional fees to maintain our larger real estate portfolio also contributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $0.2 million to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 , due to our Three-Month Same Store. The decline in depreciation in our Three-Month Same Store was driven by 123 William Street, which experienced lower in-place lease amortization due to scheduled lease expirations.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $0.3 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to the closing of the loan on our Three-Month Acquisition in June 2016. As of June 30, 2016 , we had two loans outstanding with a combined balance of $195.0 million and a weighted average effective interest rate of 3.56% .

Income from Investment Securities and Interest

Income from investment securities and interest increased to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from approximately $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The income related to interest earned on our cash balance for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and dividends earned on our investment in equity securities purchased in August 2014.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

As of January 1, 2015, we owned four properties (our "Six-Month Same Store"). From January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 , we acquired two properties (our "Six-Month Acquisitions"), and therefore as of June 30, 2016 we owned six properties. Accordingly, due to our Six-Month Acquisitions, our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 reflect significant increases in most categories.

Rental Income

Rental income increased $7.7 million to $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , from $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily due to our Six-Month Acquisitions, which contributed $7.3 million to the increase. Our Six-Month Same Store contributed $0.4 million to the increase in rental income, driven entirely by lease commencements at 9 Times Square.

Operating Expense Reimbursements

Operating expense reimbursements increased $0.5 million to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily due to our Six-Month Acquisitions.

Property Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses increased $3.4 million to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily due to our Six-Month Acquisitions. Our Six-Month Same Store also contributed $0.2 million to the increase. Property operating expenses related to lease commencements and the costs of maintaining our six properties including real estate taxes, condominium fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance and property insurance.

Operating Fees incurred from Related Parties

We incurred $2.2 million in fees for asset and property management services from our Advisor and Property Manager for the six months ended June 30, 2016 . Until September 30, 2015, for its asset management services, we issued to the Advisor performance-based, restricted, forfeitable partnership units in the OP designated as "Class B Units." Beginning on October 1, 2015, we began paying monthly asset management fees in cash, in shares of common stock, or a combination of both, the form of payment to be determined at the sole discretion of the Advisor. We paid $2.0 million in cash for asset management fees for the six months ended June 30, 2016 .

Property management fees increase in direct correlation with gross revenue and amounted to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 . The Property Manager elected to waive property management fees for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we would have incurred property management fees of approximately $0.2 million had these fees not been waived.

Acquisition and Transaction Related Expenses

We incurred $4.3 million of acquisition and transaction related expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 which related to our purchase of 1140 Avenue of the Americas, which closed in June 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , acquisition and transaction related expenses of $6.0 million related to our purchase of 123 William Street, which closed in March 2015.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily due to general and administrative expense reimbursements incurred from our Advisor of $0.8 million . During the year ended December 31, 2015, our Advisor began requesting reimbursement of general and administrative expenses, which had not previously been requested, but no such reimbursement requests were made during the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $2.7 million to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , due to our Six-Month Acquisitions.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 related to our two mortgage notes payable, the proceeds of which funded portions of our Six-Month Acquisitions. As of June 30, 2016 , the loans had a combined balance of $195.0 million and a weighted average effective interest rate of 3.56% . For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , interest expense was $1.2 million .

Income from Investment Securities and Interest

Income from investment securities and interest increased to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , net cash used in operating activities was $1.9 million , compared to $4.8 million of net cash used in operating activities during six months ended June 30, 2015 . Net cash used in operating activities contained acquisition and transaction related expenses of approximately $4.3 million and $6.0 million , respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 .

Table of Contents

The level of cash flows used in operating activities is affected by the volume of acquisition activity, the timing of interest payments, the receipt of scheduled rent payments and the level of property operating expenses. Notwithstanding a net loss of $9.8 million , net cash used in operating activities included adjustments for depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets and other non-cash expenses of $9.4 million , which resulted in cash outflows of $0.4 million . Net cash used in operating activities also included net cash inflows of $1.2 million for an increase in deferred rent related to payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates and other liabilities.

Net operating cash outflows primarily related to an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2.6 million primarily related to an increase in unbilled rent receivables recorded in accordance with accounting for rental income on a straight-line basis as well as a $0.2 million decrease related to accounts payable and accrued expenses associated with operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $88.2 million , primarily related to the acquisition of 1140 Avenue of the Americas for $79.2 million , consisting of a purchase price of $178.5 million , net of purchase price adjustments, partially funded with a mortgage note payable of $99.0 million . Net cash used in investing activities also related to payment of capital expenditures of $9.0 million relating to building and tenant improvements at 9 Times Square and 123 William Street.

Net cash used in financing activities of $19.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 consisted primarily of distributions to stockholders of $12.1 million , payments of $3.3 million relating to financing costs, repurchases of common stock of $1.7 million and an increase in restricted cash of $2.1 million .

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , net cash used in operating activities was $4.8 million . The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by acquisition activity, the timing of interest payments and the amount of borrowings outstanding during the period, as well as the receipt of scheduled rent payments. Cash flows used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 included $6.0 million of acquisition and transaction costs. Cash flows used in operating activities included a net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $2.9 million (net loss of $9.4 million adjusted for non-cash items consisting of depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible real estate assets, share based compensation, and deferred financing costs of $6.5 million ) and an increase in prepaid expenses, other assets and deferred costs of $4.9 million related to accounts receivable, unbilled rent receivables recorded in accordance with accounting for rental income on a straight-line basis and leasing costs. These cash outflows were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.6 million , primarily related to accrued property operating costs and professional fees in addition to an increase in deferred rent and other liabilities of $0.5 million .

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $158.6 million primarily related to the acquisition of one property for $157.0 million , consisting of a purchase price of $253.0 million partially funded with a mortgage note payable of $96.0 million , as well as capital expenditures of $3.7 million relating to building and tenant improvements at our properties at 9 Times Square and 123 William Street. These cash outflows were partially offset by funds released from escrow of $2.1 million related to a prior period acquisition.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $168.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of proceeds, net of receivables, from the issuance of common stock of $209.6 million , partially offset by payments of offering costs of $27.7 million , distributions to stockholders of $8.7 million , payments of financing costs of $4.6 million relating to our mortgage note payable and payments for the repurchases of common stock of $0.2 million .

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This section includes non-GAAP financial measures, including funds from operations ("FFO") and modified funds from operations ("MFFO"). A description of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income (loss), is provided below.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings, improvements, and straight-line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including, but not limited to, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using the historical accounting convention for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative.

Because of these factors, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has published a standardized measure of performance known as FFO, which is used in the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. We believe FFO, which excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization,

Table of Contents

is an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards set forth in the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, but excluding gains or losses from sales of property and real estate related impairments, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

We believe that the use of FFO provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP that were put into effect in 2009 subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO, such as the change to expense as incurred rather than capitalize and depreciate acquisition fees and expenses incurred for business combinations, have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses, as items that are expensed under GAAP across all industries. These changes had a particularly significant impact on publicly registered, non-listed REITs, which typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity in the early part of their existence, particularly during the period when they are raising capital through ongoing initial public offerings.

Because of these factors, the Investment Program Association (the “IPA”), an industry trade group, has published a standardized measure of performance known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-listed REITs. MFFO is designed to be reflective of the ongoing operating performance of publicly registered, non-listed REITs by adjusting for those costs that are more reflective of acquisitions and investment activity, along with other items the IPA believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT, such as straight-lining of rents as required by GAAP. We believe it is appropriate to use MFFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance because we believe that, when compared year over year, both before and after we have deployed all of our offering proceeds and are no longer incurring a significant amount of acquisitions fees or other related costs, it reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the “Practice Guideline”) issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for acquisition and transaction related fees and expenses and other items. In calculating MFFO, we follow the Practice Guideline and exclude acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses, amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income, gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis.

We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of acquisition activities and other non-operating items, MFFO can provide, on a going-forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is stabilized. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry and allows for an evaluation of our performance against other publicly registered, non-listed REITs.

Table of Contents

Not all REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, calculate FFO and MFFO the same way. Accordingly, comparisons with other REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as determined under GAAP as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations, as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. FFO and MFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The methods utilized to evaluate the performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT under GAAP should be construed as more relevant measures of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures, FFO and MFFO, and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT, the IPA nor any other regulatory body or industry trade group has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, NAREIT, the IPA or another industry trade group may publish updates to the White Paper or the Practice Guideline or the SEC or another regulatory body could standardize the allowable adjustments across the publicly registered, non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO accordingly.

The table below reflects the items deducted or added to net loss in our calculation of FFO and MFFO for the periods presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2016 , we had cash and cash equivalents of $73.3 million . Our principal demands for cash will be for acquisition costs, including the purchase price of any properties, loans and securities we acquire, improvement costs, the payment of our operating and administrative expenses, continuing debt service obligations, distributions to our stockholders and repurchases under our Share Repurchase Program ("SRP"). Generally, we will fund our acquisitions from the net proceeds of our offering. We intend to acquire our assets with cash and mortgage or other debt, but we also may acquire assets free and clear of mortgage or other indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price for the asset in cash or in OP Units.

We expect to fund our future short-term operating liquidity requirements through a combination of net cash provided by our current property operations and the operations of properties to be acquired in the future, the remaining proceeds from the sale of common stock and proceeds from secured mortgage financings. Management expects that, as our portfolio of investments stabilizes, cash flow from our properties will be sufficient to fund operating expenses and a larger portion of the payment of our monthly distributions. Other potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured and unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from public and private offerings, proceeds from the sale of properties and undistributed funds from operations.

Table of Contents

We have used mortgage financing to acquire two of our properties and expect to use debt financing as a source of capital. Under our charter, the maximum amount of our total indebtedness may not exceed 300% of our total "net assets" (as defined in our charter) as of the date of any borrowing, which is generally equal to 75% of the cost of our investments. We may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report following such borrowing along with justification for exceeding such limit. This charter limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets or investments. In addition, it is currently our intention to limit our aggregate borrowings to 40% to 50% of the aggregate fair market value of our assets unless borrowing a greater amount is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report following such borrowing along with justification for borrowing such a greater amount. This limitation will be calculated once we have invested substantially all the proceeds of our IPO and will not apply to individual real estate assets or investments. At the date of acquisition of each asset, we anticipate that the cost of investment for such asset will be substantially similar to its fair market value, which will enable us to satisfy our requirements under our charter. However, subsequent events, including changes in the fair market value of our assets, could result in our exceeding these limits.

Once we begin calculating Estimated Per-Share NAV and our Estimated Per-Share NAV exceeds $1.0 billion, we intend to maintain 5% of our Estimated Per-Share NAV in liquid assets that can be liquidated more readily than properties. However, our stockholders should not expect that we will maintain liquid assets at or above this level. To the extent that we maintain borrowing capacity under a line of credit, such available amount will be included in calculating our liquid assets. Our Advisor will consider various factors in determining the amount of liquid assets we should maintain, including, but not limited to, our receipt of proceeds from sales of additional shares, our cash flow from operations, available borrowing capacity under a line of credit, if any, our receipt of proceeds from any asset sale, and the use of cash to fund repurchases. Our board of directors will review the amount and sources of liquid assets on a quarterly basis.

Share Repurchase Program

Our board of directors has adopted the SRP, that enables stockholders, subject to certain conditions and limitations, to sell their shares to us. On January 25, 2016, we announced that our board of directors had unanimously approved an amendment to the SRP. Under the SRP amendment, repurchases of shares of our common stock, when requested, are at the sole discretion of our board of directors and generally will be made semiannually (each six-month period ending June 30 or December 31, a "fiscal semester"). Repurchases for any fiscal semester will be limited to a maximum of 2.5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the previous fiscal year, with a maximum for any fiscal year of 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year. In addition, we are only authorized to repurchase shares in a given fiscal semester up to the amount of proceeds received from the DRIP in that same fiscal semester, as well as any reservation of funds our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, make available for this purpose. If the establishment of an Estimated Per-Share NAV occurs during any fiscal semester, any repurchase requests received during such fiscal semester will be paid at the Estimated Per-Share NAV applicable on the last day of the fiscal semester. The SRP amendment became effective beginning on February 28, 2016.

As permitted under the SRP, our board of directors authorized, with respect to redemption requests received during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the repurchase of shares validly submitted for repurchase in an amount equal to the amount of proceeds received from the DRIP in that same fiscal semester, representing less than all the shares validly submitted for repurchase during the six months ended June 30, 2016 . Accordingly, in July 2016, 451,071 shares were repurchased for $10.7 million at an average repurchase price per share of $23.61 (including all shares submitted for death or disability), while requests to repurchase 881,693 shares for $20.5 million at an average price per share of $23.21 were not fulfilled. Additionally, during April 2016, 3,573 additional shares submitted for death or disability were repurchased for $0.1 million at an average repurchase price of $25.00 .

Capital Expenditures

We may invest in additional capital expenditures to further enhance the value of our investments. Additionally, many of our lease agreements with tenants include provisions for tenant improvement allowances.

As previously noted, subsequent to the acquisition of 9 Times Square in November 2014, we allowed leases to expire and terminate as part of the implementation of our repositioning, redeveloping and remarketing plan with respect to the property. As a result of these initiatives, we expect to incur $7.5 million to $12.5 million of additional capital expenditures during 2016 related to building improvements, tenant improvements and leasing commissions as we continue to execute on our repositioning, redeveloping and remarketing plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 , we incurred $3.0 million of capital expenditures related to building improvements, tenant improvements and leasing commissions for 9 Times Square.

The remainder of our capital expenditures related to building and tenant improvements at 123 William Street.

Acquisitions

On June 15, 2016, we, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the OP, completed our acquisition of the leasehold interest in an institutional-quality office building located at 1140 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, New York ("1140 Avenue of the Americas"). 1140 Avenue of the Americas comprises 249,703 square feet and is subject to a ground lease held by 1140 Sixth Avenue LLC. The seller of 1140 Avenue of the Americas was BPGL Holdings LLC. The purchase price of 1140 Avenue of the Americas was $178.5 million , exclusive of closing costs and net of any purchase price adjustments. We funded the purchase price with proceeds from our IPO and a mortgage loan from Ladder Capital Finance I LLC. We accounted for the purchase of 1140 Avenue of the Americas as a business combination and incurred acquisition related costs of $4.3 million , which are reflected in the acquisition and transaction related line item of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Our Advisor evaluates potential acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related assets and engages in negotiations with sellers and borrowers on our behalf. Investors should be aware that after a purchase contract is executed that contains specific terms, the property will not be purchased until the successful completion of due diligence and fully negotiated binding agreements. During this period, we may decide to temporarily invest any unused proceeds from common stock offerings in certain investments that could yield lower returns than the properties. These lower returns may affect our ability to make distributions.

Distributions

We are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, determined without regard for the deduction for distributions paid and excluding net capital gains. On March 9, 2016, our board of directors approved a change to the daily distribution amount to $0.0041325137 per day per share of common stock to accurately reflect that 2016 is a leap year and maintain equivalence to $1.5125 per annum, per share of common stock. Distributions to record holders are payable by the 5th day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month.

Future distributions to our stockholders will be determined by our board of directors and are dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for distribution, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, as applicable, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Distribution payments are dependent on the availability of funds. Our board of directors may reduce the amount of distributions paid or suspend distribution payments at any time and therefore distribution payments are not assured.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , distributions paid to common stockholders totaled $23.2 million . Of that amount, $11.0 million was reinvested in shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , cash used to pay our distributions was generated from proceeds from our IPO and proceeds from the sale of our shares through the DRIP.

In the second quarter of 2016 our cash flows from operations was negative, and we do not expect to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in 2016 to fund distributions at our current level. We may not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to fund future distributions. The amount of cash available for distributions is affected by many factors, such as rental income from acquired properties and our operating expense levels, as well as many other variables. Actual cash available for distributions may vary substantially from estimates. With limited operating history, we cannot assure our stockholders that we will be able to continue to pay distributions or that distributions will increase over time. We cannot give any assurance that rents from the properties we have acquired will increase, or that future acquisitions of real properties will increase our cash available for distributions to stockholders. Our actual results may differ significantly from the assumptions used by our board of directors in establishing a distribution rate to stockholders.

If we do not generate sufficient cash flows from our operations, we expect to use a portion of our cash on hand, which represents the remaining proceeds we received in our IPO, and the proceeds from our DRIP to pay distributions. A decrease in the level of stockholder participation in our DRIP could have an adverse impact on our ability to meet these expectations. If these sources are insufficient, we may use other sources, such as from borrowings, the sale of additional securities, advances from our Advisor, and our Advisor's deferral, suspension or waiver of its fees and expense reimbursements, as to which it has no obligation, to fund distributions.

Election as a REIT

We elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, effective for our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we have been organized and operated in a manner so that we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. We intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT. In order to continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT we must, among other things, distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP) determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements. If we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and properties as well as federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

Inflation

Many of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases either at fixed rates or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures). We may be adversely impacted by inflation on the leases that do not contain indexed escalation

provisions. In addition, our net leases require the tenant to pay its allocable share of operating expenses, which may include common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with affiliates of our Sponsor, whereby we have paid or may in the future pay certain fees or reimbursements to our Advisor, its affiliates and entities under common control with our Advisor in connection with acquisition and financing activities, asset and property management services and reimbursement of operating and offering related costs. The predecessor to the parent of the Sponsor is a party to a services agreement with RCS Advisory Services, LLC, a subsidiary of the parent company of the Former Dealer Manager (“RCS Advisory”), pursuant to which RCS Advisory and its affiliates provided us and certain other companies sponsored by AR Global with services (including, without limitation, transaction management, compliance, due diligence, event coordination and marketing services, among others) on a time and expenses incurred basis or at a flat rate based on services performed. The predecessor to the parent of the Sponsor instructed RCS Advisory to stop providing such services in November 2015 and no services have since been provided by RCS Advisory.

We were party to a transfer agency agreement with American National Stock Transfer, LLC ("ANST"), pursuant to which ANST provided us with transfer agency services (including broker and stockholder servicing, transaction processing, year-end IRS reporting and other services), and supervisory services overseeing the transfer agency services performed by DST Systems, Inc., a third-party transfer agent ("DST"). AR Global received written notice from ANST on February 10, 2016 that it would wind down operations by the end of the month and would withdraw as the transfer agent effective February 29, 2016. DST continued to provide us with transfer agency services and, on March 10, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement with DST to provide us directly with transfer agency services (including broker and stockholder servicing, transaction processing, year-end IRS reporting and other services). See Note 9 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to our accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. Our long-term debt, which consists of secured financings, bears interest at fixed and variable-rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. From time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, caps, collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

As of June 30, 2016 , our debt consisted of both fixed and variable-rate debt. We had a fixed-rate secured mortgage note payable with an aggregate carrying value of $99.0 million and a fair value of $103.5 million . Changes in market interest rates on our fixed-rate debt impact the fair value of the note, but it has no impact on interest due on the note. For instance, if interest rates rise 100 basis points and our fixed rate debt balance remains constant, we expect the fair value of our obligation to decrease, the same way the price of a bond declines as interest rates rise. The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed–rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their June 30, 2016 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by $1.0 million . A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by $1.0 million .

As of June 30, 2016 , our variable-rate secured mortgage note payable had a carrying value and fair value of $96.0 million . Interest rate volatility associated with this variable-rate mortgage note payable affects interest expense incurred and cash flow. The sensitivity analysis related to our variable-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their June 30, 2016 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in variable interest rates on our variable-rate mortgage note payable would increase or decrease our interest expense by $1.0 million annually.

These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rate changes on our borrowing costs, and assuming no other changes in our capital structure. As the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of June 30, 2016 and does not consider exposures or positions arising after that date. The information represented herein has limited predictive value. Future actual realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on cumulative exposures, hedging strategies employed and the magnitude of the fluctuations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of the end of such period, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Not applicable.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds of Registered Securities.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On February 12, 2016, we granted 1,333 shares of restricted stock that vest over a period of five years to a recently-appointed independent director, pursuant to our employee and director incentive restricted share plan. No selling commissions or other consideration was paid in connection with such issuance, which was made without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon exemption from the registration in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving any public offering.

Use of Proceeds from Sales of Registered Securities

On April 24, 2014, we commenced our IPO on a "reasonable best efforts" basis of up to 30.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a price of $25.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, pursuant to the Registration Statement filed with the SEC under the Securities Act (File No. 333-194135). The Registration Statement also covered 10.5 million shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the DRIP under which common stockholders may elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of common stock. On May 29, 2014, we received and accepted subscriptions in excess of the minimum offering amount for the IPO of $2.0 million in shares, broke general escrow and issued shares of common stock to initial investors who were admitted as stockholders. On May 31, 2015, we closed our IPO after having sold substantially all of the shares registered in our IPO, and continued to accept subscriptions in process as of that date. As of June 30, 2016 , we had 30.4 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested restricted shares and shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, and had received total gross proceeds from the IPO and DRIP of $754.9 million , inclusive of $35.9 million from the DRIP.

The following table reflects the offering costs associated with the issuance of common stock:



	Year Ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2015		2014
Selling commissions and dealer manager fees	$	22,374	$	46,997
Other offering costs	6,050		8,628
Total offering costs	$	28,424	$	55,625

The Former Dealer Manager was able to reallow the selling commissions and a portion of the dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers. The following table details the selling commissions incurred and reallowed related to the sale of shares of common stock:



	Year Ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2015			2014
Total commissions paid to the Former Dealer Manager	$	22,374		$	46,997
Less:
Commissions to participating brokers	(15,505		)	(31,920		)
Reallowance to participating broker dealers	(2,625		)	(5,685		)
Net to the Former Dealer Manager	$	4,244		$	9,392

As of June 30, 2016 , we have incurred $84.0 million of cumulative offering costs in connection with the issuance and distribution of our registered securities. Cumulative offering proceeds from the sale of common stock exceeded cumulative offering costs by $670.8 million at June 30, 2016 .

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2016 , cumulative offering costs included $69.4 million of selling commissions and dealer manager fees and $11.9 million of offering cost reimbursements incurred from the Advisor and Former Dealer Manager. We are obligated to reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs paid by them on our behalf, provided that the Advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent organization and offering costs (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) incurred by us in our IPO exceed 2.0% of gross offering proceeds in the IPO. As a result, these costs were only our liability to the extent aggregate selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering costs did not exceed 12.0% of the gross proceeds determined at the end of the IPO. As of the end of the IPO, aggregate selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other offering costs did not exceed 12.0% of the gross proceeds received in the IPO.

We have used and expect to continue to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our IPO to primarily acquire office and retail properties in the five boroughs of New York City, with a focus on Manhattan. We may also originate or acquire first mortgage loans secured by real estate. As of June 30, 2016 , we have used the net proceeds from our IPO to purchase six properties with an aggregate purchase price of $686.1 million . We have incurred cumulative acquisition and transaction-related costs of $16.5 million , primarily related to our property acquisitions. As of June 30, 2016 , we used $38.7 million in proceeds from our IPO to pay cash distributions of $38.7 million . During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , we used proceeds from our IPO to purchase a property, with a purchase price of $178.5 million , partially funded with the proceeds from a mortgage note payable of $99.0 million .

Section 2.1
The Loan .

2.1.1
Agreement to Lend and Borrow . Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender shall make the Loan to Borrower and Borrower shall accept the Loan from Lender on the Closing Date.

2.1.2
The Note . The Loan shall be evidenced by that certain Consolidated, Amended and Restated Promissory Note of even date herewith in the stated principal amount of Ninety-Nine Million and No/100 Dollars ($99,000,000.00) executed by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender (as the same may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated, increased, extended or consolidated from time to time, the “ Note ”) and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note.

2.1.3
Use of Proceeds . Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a) acquire the Property, (b) pay and discharge any existing loans, if any, relating to Borrower’s interest in the Property, (c) pay all past-due Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges, if any, in respect of the Property, (d) make initial deposits of the Reserve Funds, (e) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, as approved by Lender, and (f) fund any working capital requirements of the Property, as approved by Lender. Any excess proceeds may be used for any lawful purpose.

Section 2.2
Interest Rate .

2.2.1
Interest Rate . Subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.4 hereof, the Outstanding Principal Balance shall bear interest throughout the Term at the Interest Rate.

2.2.2
Default Rate . In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall, at Lender’s election, accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date of the Event of Default. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Lender shall elect.

2.2.3
Interest Calculation . Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance.

Section 2.4
Prepayments.

2.4.1
Voluntary Prepayments .

(a)
Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Stated Maturity Date. Subject to Section 2.4.3 hereof, on the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date, and on any Business Day thereafter, Borrower may, at its option and upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender, prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in whole only with payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium; provided , however , that, payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium shall not be required if the prepayment occurs on or after the Open Prepayment Date. A notice of prepayment made under this Sections 2.4.1(a) or 2.4.1(b) may be revoked by Borrower if written notice of such revocation is delivered by Borrower to Lender on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the prepayment date set forth in the notice of prepayment. If Borrower delivers to Lender notice of prepayment and subsequently revokes such notice prior to prepayment, Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender (including any reasonable attorneys’ fees) due to such revoked notice or otherwise in connection with the anticipated prepayment.

(b)
On the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date and on any Business Day thereafter, Borrower may, at Borrower’s option and upon not less than twenty (20) days prior notice to Lender, prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in part in connection with (x) payment of a DSCR Remedial Payment Amount to effect a Cash Sweep Event Cure under clause (iii) of the definition of “Cash Sweep Event Cure” which amount Lender shall apply to the Outstanding Principal Balance or (y) payment of a DSCR Remedial RF Payment Amount to effect a cure of a Reserve Funds Trigger Period under clause (iii) of the definition of “Reserve Funds Trigger Period” which amount Lender shall apply to the Outstanding Principal Balance. Any such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4.1(b) shall include the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium; provided , however , that, payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium shall not be required if the prepayment occurs on or after the Open Prepayment Date.

(c)
Any prepayment received by Lender under this Section 2.4.1 shall be accompanied by (a) all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount prepaid through, but not including, the next occurring Monthly Payment Date (or, if such prepayment occurs on a Monthly Payment Date, through, but not including, such Monthly Payment Date), (b) all other sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents, (c) the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, and (d) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment.

2.4.2
Mandatory Prepayments . On the next occurring Monthly Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, if Lender does not make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for a Restoration, Lender shall, at its option, apply such Net Proceeds to the prepayment of the Outstanding Principal Balance; provided , however , if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt in any order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Any prepayment received by Lender under this Section 2.4.2 shall be (a) subject to Section 2.4.3 hereof and (b) accompanied by (i) all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount prepaid through, but not including, such Monthly Payment Date, (ii) all other sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents, and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment premium or penalty shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 .

In the event that Lender applies the Net Proceeds to the prepayment of the Outstanding Principal Balance and such application shall result in a reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount greater than sixty percent (60%) of the Loan, then, subject to Section 2.4.3 hereof, Borrower may, at its option and upon not less than sixty (60) days prior notice to Lender, prepay the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance (such remaining Outstanding Principal Balance after application of the Net Proceeds to the Debt hereinafter, the “ Remaining Principal Amount ”) in whole only with payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium (which Yield Maintenance Premium, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be due only with respect to the Remaining Principal Amount); provided , however , payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium with respect to the Remaining Principal Amount shall not be required if the prepayment occurs on or after the Open Prepayment Date. Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to the foregoing shall be accompanied by (a) all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount prepaid through, but not including, the next occurring Monthly Payment Date (or, if such prepayment occurs on a Monthly Payment Date, through, but not including, such Monthly Payment Date), (b) all other sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents, (c) the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any is applicable, and (d) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment.

2.4.3
Prepayments After Default . If, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, prepayment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower (which tender may be rejected by Lender to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements) or otherwise

recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed (a) to have been made on the next occurring Monthly Payment Date and such prepayment shall be applied first to the Monthly Debt Service Payment due on such date and (b) to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, or portion thereof then being prepaid or satisfied, (i) the Yield Maintenance Premium on the Outstanding Principal Balance, or portion thereof then being prepaid or satisfied, as of the date such prepayment is deemed to have been paid to Lender ( provided , however , no Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment fee or penalty shall be required to be paid in connection with a prepayment made on or after the Open Prepayment Date), (ii) all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount prepaid through, but not including, such Monthly Payment Date, (iii) if such prepayment occurs prior to the final sale of the Loan in a Secondary Market Transaction, Hedge Losses, (iv) all other sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents, and (v) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment.

Section 2.6
Intentionally Omitted .

Section 2.7
REMIC Test on Property Release . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and (a) any portion of the Property is sought to be released from the Lien of the Mortgage, whether in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation or otherwise (but not including a release of the Property upon the full payment of the Loan), and (b) immediately after any such release the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Property (but, in the case of a Casualty or Condemnation, taking into account any proposed Restoration of the remaining Property) is greater than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) (based solely on real property and excluding any personal property or going concern value) (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust, it being understood that Lender shall not require a new or updated appraisal to make such determination so long as there is another commercially reasonable valuation method available to Lender, which may include a buyer’s purchase price in the case of a contemporaneous arm’s length sale and assumption of the Loan or a broker’s price opinion so long as such method is a commercially reasonable valuation method permitted to a REMIC Trust, as determined in Lender’s sole discretion), the Outstanding Principal Balance must first be paid down by a “qualified amount” as such term is defined in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be modified, supplemented, superseded or amended from time to time (regardless of whether Borrower or Lender actually receive or are entitled to receive any related Net Proceeds in the case of a Casualty or Condemnation), unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that, if the foregoing prepayment is not made, the applicable REMIC Trust will neither fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code or be subject to any tax, in either case, as a result of such release. If and to the extent the release is in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation, and if

Borrower shall have otherwise satisfied each of the conditions to release of Net Proceeds as set forth in Section 5.3 , only such amount of the Net Proceeds then held or controlled by Lender, if any, in excess of the “qualified amount” required to pay down the principal balance of the Loan may be released for purposes of Restoration or released as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.3 . Any prepayment made under this Section 2.7 shall be accompanied by payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium, except that (i) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment fee or penalty shall be due in connection with any such prepayment made by reason of a release in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation and (ii) no Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment fee or penalty shall be due in connection with any such prepayment made on or after the Open Prepayment Date. Borrower shall pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with confirming compliance with or enforcing the terms and provisions of this Section 2.7 .

The performance by Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents and Borrower’s conducting of its operations do not violate any provisions of ERISA. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA or otherwise subject to any state statute or regulation regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) none of Borrower, Guarantor or ERISA Affiliate is as of the date hereof, or has been at any time within the six (6) years preceding the date hereof, an employer required to contribute to or an entity otherwise having any liability (contingent or otherwise) under Title IV with respect to any pension plan covered by Title IV of ERISA, including any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan; and none of Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate has any actual or contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement “welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in ERISA) except as disclosed to Lender in writing. For purposes of this Section 3.1.8 , Borrower shall be entitled to assume that no source of funds used to make the Loan constitutes “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA.

3.1.13
Compliance . To Borrower’s knowledge, (i) except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Lender in the zoning reports prepared by The Planning & Zoning Resource Corporation, dated June 8, 2016 (the “ Zoning Report ”), the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including parking, building and zoning and land use laws, ordinances, regulations and codes and (ii) the Property is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority affecting the Property, the violation of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority affecting Borrower (but not the Property), the violation of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has not been committed by Borrower or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission which may give any Governmental Authority the right to cause Borrower to forfeit the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s Obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Except as otherwise disclosed to Lender in the Zoning Report, in the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto existing as of the date hereof and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property. The

Since the date of the financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.

3.1.15

3.1.16
Easements; Utilities and Public Access . All covenants, restrictions or agreements of record relating to the construction, operation or use of the Property and all easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively, “ Easements ”), if any, necessary for the full utilization of the Improvements for their intended purposes have been obtained, are described in the Title Insurance Policy and, to Borrower’s knowledge, are in full force and effect without default by any party thereunder.

The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service the Property for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are, to Borrower’s knowledge, located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property absent a valid easement. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

There are no pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

3.1.19
Enforceability . The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditor’s rights and principles of equity), and Borrower has not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

3.1.20
Assignment of Leases . The Assignment of Leases creates a valid assignment of, or a valid security interest in, certain rights under the Leases, subject only to a license granted to Borrower to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under the Leases, including the right to operate the Property. No Person other than Lender has any interest in or assignment of the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable thereunder.

3.1.21
Insurance . Borrower has obtained and delivered, or has caused to be obtained and delivered, to Lender certificates evidencing all of the Policies, with all premiums paid as they become due, reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement.

forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

(ii)
provide that the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of Insurance Premiums and, if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice; and

(f)
If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, or Borrower shall fail to deliver certificates of insurance and, if requested by Lender, other documentation evidencing the Policies, evidence of payment and any other information required by Section 5.1.1(b) , no less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of any Policies, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all Insurance Premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Borrower shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.

(h)
If any of the all risk/special form property, rental loss and/or business interruption, commercial general liability or umbrella Policies include any exclusions for loss, cost, damage or liability caused by “terrorism” or “terrorist acts”, Borrower shall obtain and maintain terrorism coverage to cover such exclusion(s) from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in Section 5.1.2 (a “ Qualified Carrier ”) or, in the event that such terrorism coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrower shall obtain such terrorism coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such terrorism coverage; provided , however , if the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program

In addition to the insurance coverages described in Section 5.1.1(a) above, Borrower shall obtain such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests.

5.2.1
Casualty . If the Property shall sustain a Casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such

Casualty to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty (a “ Restoration ”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 5.3 , regardless of whether Insurance Proceeds are available or made available, it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty provided the Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, submit proof of loss if not submitted promptly by Borrower. In the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustments; provided , however , if Borrower fails to settle and adjust such claim within sixty (60) days after the Casualty, Lender shall have the right to settle and adjust such claim at Borrower’s cost and without Borrower’s consent (provided that if Borrower has commenced the settlement and adjustment of such claim within the sixty (60) day period after the Casualty and thereafter diligently pursued the same, Lender shall not exercise such right to settle and adjust the claim until one hundred eighty (180) days after the Casualty so long as during the entirety of such period no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Borrower shall continue to diligently pursue the settlement and adjustment of such claim). Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement.

5.2.2
Condemnation . Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and compromise such Condemnation; provided that the same is effected in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event a Condemnation where the amount of the taking exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and compromise the Condemnation only with the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is

taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property, regardless of whether an Award is available or made available, and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.3 . If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

All other such proceeds not reflecting a replacement for lost Rents shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof.

(b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that the remaining Net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such Net Proceeds are to be applied repay the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining Net Proceeds will be sufficient to pay off the Debt in full.

Section 9.2

(h)
Borrower understands and agrees that information provided to Lender by Borrower or its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with

a Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the NRSROs, investment banking firms, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory and service providers relating to a Securitization.

(i)
Borrower hereby agrees (i) to indemnify Lender, any Affiliate of Lender that has filed any registration statement relating to a Securitization or has acted as the issuer, sponsor, depositor or seller in connection with a Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in connection with a Securitization, any other issuers, depositors, underwriters, placement agents or initial purchasers of Securities issued in connection with a Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates, and each Person that controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “ Indemnified Persons ”) for any losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs and expenses (collectively, the “ Liabilities ”) to which any Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact, as it relates to Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Property (or any portion thereof), any Affiliated Manager, Guarantor or ARCNYC REIT, contained in the information provided to Lender by Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or any of their respective agents, counsel or representatives (collectively, the “ Covered Disclosure Information ”), (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such Covered Disclosure Information or necessary in order to make the statements in such Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and/or (C) a breach of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in Section 3.1.40 of this Agreement and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any out-of-pocket legal or other expenses actually incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided , however , that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (i) or (ii) above only to the extent that any such Liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with (x) information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender (1) in connection with the preparation of the Covered Disclosure Information or (2) in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or (y) any of the reports, statements or other information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower and operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property; provided, further , however, Borrower shall have no liability for any information set forth in any third-party reports or any statements or other information made or prepared by third parties not Affiliated with Borrower (unless Borrower has actual knowledge that such information is not true and correct in any material respect). The indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not a separate indemnification agreement is executed and delivered by Borrower. Any indemnity set forth in this Section 9.2(b) shall, in all events, be limited to the Covered Disclosure Information and shall only be effective to the extent that Lender accurately states the Covered Disclosure Information in the applicable

Disclosure Document. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.

(j)
In connection with any Exchange Act Filing or other reports containing comparable information that are required to be made available to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or other applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower shall (i) indemnify the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with (x) information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender (1) in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Documents or (2) in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or (y) any of the reports, statements or other information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower and operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property, and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities.

(k)
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of a claim or the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Borrower, notify Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Person under this Section 9.2 except to the extent that failure to notify materially prejudices Borrower. In the event that any action is brought against any Indemnified Person, and it notifies Borrower of the commencement thereof, Borrower will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. After notice from Borrower to such Indemnified Person of Borrower’s election to assume the defense of such action with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall pay for any reasonable legal or other related expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided , however , if (x) the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Person and Borrower and (y) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower that would give rise to an actual or potential conflict of interest or ethical violation were the Indemnified Persons represented by the same counsel as the Borrower, then (1) the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons (provided that no compromise or settlement shall be entered without Borrower’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (2) Borrower shall be liable for the expenses of any such separate counsel; provided however , Borrower shall only be liable for the expenses of no more than two (2) separate counsels selected by the Indemnified Persons in accordance with the foregoing.

(l)
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which any indemnification or reimbursement under this Section 9.2 is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an Indemnified Person in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to herein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under this Section 9.2 , Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided , however , that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act), gross negligence or willful misconduct shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence or willful misconduct. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Lender’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

(m)
Without limiting the generality of this Section 9.2 , Borrower hereby agrees (i) to indemnify the Indemnified Persons against any Liabilities to which any Indemnified Persons may become subject in connection with any indemnification to the Rating Agencies engaged to rate any Securitization holding all or a portion of the Loan in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the information provided to Lender or one or more of the NRSROs by Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or any of their respective agents, counsel or representatives, and/or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and/or (C) a breach of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in Section 3.1.40 of this Agreement and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any out-of-pocket legal or other expenses actually incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending such Liabilities; provided, however, that, other than in connection with information provided by Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or any of their respective agents, counsel or representatives directly to one or more of the NRSROs, Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (i) or (ii) above only to the extent that any such Liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with (x) information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender (1) in connection with the issuance, monitoring or maintenance of the Securities or (2) in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or (y) any of the reports, statements or other information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower and operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.

If requested

by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to the Loan Documents reasonably necessary to effect any such modification, split and/or severance including, without limitation, an amendment to the Cash Management Agreement to reflect the newly created loans, notes and/or components, provided that such amendment shall comply with all of the terms of this Section 9.3 . Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect and modification, split and/or severance as described in this Section 9.3 , Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power unless Borrower shall fail to execute such documents within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s request.

Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however , Lender shall only have the right to make or execute any such documents under such power of attorney in connection with Lender’s exercise of its remedies under this Agreement following an acceleration of the Loan. Borrower shall be obligated to pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording and filing of the Severed Loan Documents. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

(l)
Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Yield Maintenance Premium, if applicable, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

Section 10.3
Lender’s Right to Perform . During the continuation of any Event of Default, if Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained in the Loan Documents, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided under any of the Loan Documents or releasing Borrower from any covenant or obligation under the Loan

Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all out-of-pocket costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand, and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

Section 10.4
Remedies Cumulative . The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Nothing contained herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be construed to grant Borrower any right to cure an Event of Default and each Event of Default shall continue unless and until the same is waived by Lender in writing in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.

(j)
Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Lender Indemnified Parties from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any Lender Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Lender Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Lender Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any default or breach by Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, the Loan Documents; (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) [intentionally omitted]; (iv) ownership of the Mortgage, the Property or any interest therein, or receipt of any Rents; (v) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (vi) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Property or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (vii) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property; (viii) any failure of the Property to comply with any Legal Requirement; (ix) any claim by brokers, finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving the Property or any part thereof, or any liability asserted against such Lender Indemnified Party with respect thereto; and (x) the claims of any lessee of any portion of the Property or any Person acting through or under any lessee or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease (collectively, the “ Indemnified Liabilities ”); provided , however , that Borrower shall not have any obligation to the Lender Indemnified Parties hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise (i) from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of the Lender Indemnified Parties, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) after a foreclosure or Lender’s acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure in respect of all or any portion of the Property securing the Loan (as to the Property or portion thereof so foreclosed), so long as such Indemnified Liabilities do not result from (x) any act or circumstance occurring prior to such foreclosure or Lender’s acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, as applicable, or (y) any act of Borrower or any of its agents, Affiliates or employees. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Lender Indemnified Parties.

Section 11.19
Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims . Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents.

against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

Borrower (A) acknowledges that (1) such compensation, fees, commissions or other payments may include a direct, one-time payment of an origination or similar fee, certain payments based on volume and/or size of referrals, profit-sharing payments and/or an ongoing financial interest in the Loan (including by acting as sub-servicer for the Loan) and (2) Borrower has had an opportunity to discuss the specifics of any compensation, fees, commissions or other payments with Broker to the extent Borrower deemed necessary and Borrower has independently determined to proceed with the Loan and (B) consents to any such arrangement and the payment by Lender to Broker of any such compensation, fees, commissions or other payments .

The Participant acknowledges that (i) no later than the date on which any Restricted Shares shall have become vested, the Participant shall pay to the Service Provider, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Service Provider regarding payment of, any Federal, state or local or other taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any Restricted Shares which shall have become so vested; (ii) the Service Provider shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any Federal, state or local or other taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any Restricted Shares which shall have become so vested, including that the Service Provider may, but shall not be required to, sell a number of Restricted Shares sufficient to cover applicable withholding taxes; and (iii) in the event that the Participant does not satisfy (i) above on a timely basis, the Service Provider may, but shall not be required to, pay such required withholding and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, treat such amount as a demand loan to the Participant at the maximum rate permitted by law, with such loan, at the Service Provider’s sole discretion and provided the Service Provider so notifies the Participant within thirty (30) days of the making of the loan, secured by the Restricted Shares and any failure by the Participant to pay the loan upon demand shall entitle the Service Provider to all of the rights at law of a creditor secured by the Restricted Shares. The Service Provider may hold as security any certificates representing any Restricted Shares and, upon demand of the Service Provider, the Participant shall deliver to the Service Provider any certificates in his or her possession representing the Restricted Shares together with a stock power duly endorsed in blank.

(c)
The Participant agrees that the award of the Restricted Shares hereunder is special incentive compensation and that it, any dividends paid thereon (even if treated as compensation for tax purposes) will not be taken into account as “salary” or “compensation” or “bonus” in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement or profit-sharing plan of the Service Provider or any life insurance, disability or other benefit plan of the Service Provider.
