7. Comments • Management has stated that they will not sponsor any follow on offerings, and their goal for this REIT is to return investor funds within 3 to 5 years after the close of the offering • The REIT is prohibited from paying an internalization fee. • However, up to 5.0% of outstanding shares (max 7,500,000 shares ) may be issued to directors, officers, employees and consultants • This restricted share program was originally implemented for ARCT III’s predecessor REIT (ARCT) shortly following the decision to prohibit the payment of an internalization fee by ARCT For additional detail, please see our complete report, which can be obtained by visiting: www.buttonwoodinvestmentservices.com/reports/

8. Comments • Management intends to fund distributions from operating cash flow • However, there are no limits on the amount of distributions that may be funded from offering proceeds, borrowed funds, the sale of additional shares, or other sources • ARCT, (effective in 2008) which is very similar to this program, is not covering distributions with FFO despite having been active for approximately 3 years • As such, a significant period of time may pass before this REIT is capable of covering distributions with operating cash flow • Utilizing offering proceeds, borrowings, etc to pay distributions hampers a REIT’s ability to meet stated goals For additional detail, please see our complete report, which can be obtained by visiting: www.buttonwoodinvestmentservices.com/reports/

9. Comments • ARC typically only invests $200,000 in programs that are targeting $1.5 billion in equity raise. Given this minimal investment amount, ARC’s interests may not be as strongly aligned with investors as they would be with a large equity position alongside investors in the REIT • ARC management attests that their “skin in the game” is at the advisor level and that their ability to continue offering programs hinges on the fair treatment of investors, therefore they are of the opinion that their interests are properly aligned For additional detail, please see our complete report, which can be obtained by visiting: www.buttonwoodinvestmentservices.com/reports/
