The Company is the sole general partner of the OP and holds the majority of OP units. The Advisor, a limited partner, holds 200 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 Company's option, a corresponding number of shares of the Company's common stock, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the OP. The remaining rights of the holders of OP units 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.
In December 2010, an unrelated third party and a related party, American Realty Capital Operating Partnership, L.P., contributed $1.0 million and $12.0 million to acquire the Bleecker Street properties, respectively.  The Company had the sole voting rights and was the controlling member of the limited liability company that owns the Bleecker Street properties.
