indicated for at least five years, except as follows. From 1981, Mr. Beach has

Officer of Captec Financial Group, Inc. ("Captec Financial"), an affiliate of
the Company. Mr. Martin has served as the Senior Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of Captec Financial since 1994. Mr. Sherard has served as the
Senior Vice President -- Sales and Marketing of Captec Financial since 1994.
From 1986 through June 1997, Mr. Peters was a senior executive of Penske
Corporation, serving most recently as Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, and as President and Chief Executive Officer of Penske Motor
Sports, Inc. Mr. Peters also currently serves as the President and Chief
Executive Officer of Illitch Ventures, Inc. From 1976 until 1997 Mr. Ford served
in numerous capacities with Brinker International, most recently as Chief
Operating Officer and a Director.
Mr. Peters is a Director of Penske Corporation, Penske Motor Sports, Inc.
and Aon Funds. Mr. Howley is a Director of Boykin Lodging Company, International
Total Services, Inc. and LESCO, Inc. Mr. Adams is a Director of American
Industrial Property REIT, Associated Estates Realty Corporation, Boykin Lodging
Company, Developers Diversified Realty Corporation and Dairy Mart Convenience
Stores, Inc.
Kona Restaurant Group, of which Mr. Ford is the Chief Executive Officer, is
a lessee of four properties from the Company on which it operates Johnny
Carino's Italian Kitchen and Kona Steakhouse restaurants. Total rent to the
Company from the properties was approximately $525,000 in 1998 and is
anticipated to be approximately $750,000 in 1999.
Messrs. Beach, Martin and Sherard are the Chief Executive Officer,
President and Chairman, the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer,
and the Senior Vice President -- Sales and Marketing, respectively, of Captec
Financial. Messrs. Beach and Martin also serve as the Chief Executive Officer,
President and Chairman and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, respectively, of Captec Net Lease Realty Advisors, Inc. ("Captec
Advisors"). Messrs. Beach, Martin and Sherard and Captec Financial are each
stockholders of Captec Advisors. Together with Captec Financial, Captec Advisors
provides the Company with certain investment and financial advisory services
pertaining primarily to the acquisition, development and leasing of properties
pursuant to an August 29, 1997 Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement").
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays to Captec Advisors a
management fee in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 0.6% per annum of the
aggregate capitalized cost (excluding accumulated depreciation) of all assets in
the Company's portfolio, or (ii) 5.0% of the Company's revenues. Under the
Advisory Agreement, the Company may pay Captec Advisors an incentive fee, which
will equal 15.0% of the amount by which any increase in annual Funds From
Operations ("FFO") per share exceeds a 7.0% annual increase in FFO per share
multiplied by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
The Company is also subject to cost reimbursements to Captec Advisors in an
amount equal to all costs incurred in the acquisition of properties. The sum of
the incentive fee and the cost reimbursement (the "acquisition fee") will not
exceed 3.0% of the acquisition cost of properties identified by the Advisor and
acquired during the term of the Advisory Agreement. In December 1998 the
Advisory Agreement was amended retroactive to January 1, 1998 (the "Amendment").
The effect of the Amendment was to reduce the management fee to Captec Advisors
by the amount of acquisition fees paid directly to Captec Advisors as a result
of acquisitions made by Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. III and Captec
Franchise Capital Partners L.P. IV, of which the Company is the general partner.
During 1998, the Company incurred $194,000 of asset management fees and
approximately $1,123,000 in acquisition fees to Captec Advisors. Based upon the
Company's existing portfolio of properties and its anticipated acquisition
activity in 1999, the Company estimates it will pay $1.9 million (inclusive of
the acquisition fee) as compensation pursuant to the Advisory Agreement in 1999.
The amount to be paid under the Advisory Agreement in 1999 will vary based upon
numerous circumstances, some of which are beyond the Company's control, and the
actual amount paid pursuant to the Advisory Agreement may vary materially.
Mr. Beach and the Company are each stockholders of Family Realty, Inc.
("Family Realty"), an affiliate of the Company formed in 1998 to invest in
net-leased entertainment-based retail properties. Pursuant to an agreement
between the Company and Family Realty, the Company will receive a quarterly
asset management fee from Family Realty beginning in the first quarter of 1999.
The Company estimates it will receive total asset management fees of $400,000
from Family Realty in 1999. The amount to be received from Family Realty in
4
7
1999 will vary based upon numerous circumstances, some of which are beyond the
Company's control, and the actual amount received may vary materially.
In August 1998 the Company acquired the general partnership interests of
Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P. III and Captec Franchise Capital Partners
L.P. IV, each an affiliated limited partnership of the Company which is engaged
in substantially the same business as the Company. Mr. Beach was one of the
general partners of the affiliated partnerships, and received approximately
$394,000 as compensation for his general partnership interests.
Mr. Adams is, and during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 was, a
partner of Baker & Hostetler LLP, which the Company retained in 1998 and intends
to retain in 1999 to provide legal services to the Company.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the Board of Directors held
four meetings which all directors attended, with the exception of Mr. Ford who
did not attend the May 8, 1998 meeting. The Board of Directors has appointed an
Executive Committee, Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and a Special
Committee, and does not have a Finance or Nominating Committee. The Audit and
Compensation Committees each held two committee meetings during 1998, which all
committee members attended, with the exception of Mr. Ford who did not attend
the May 8, 1998 meeting. The Executive and Special Committees did not meet in
1998.
Since December 1998, the Audit Committee has consisted of Messrs. Peters,
Ford and Adams. Prior to December 1998, the Audit Committee consisted of Messrs.
Peters, Ford and Howley. The Audit Committee recommends annually to the Board of
Directors the engagement of the independent public accountants for the Company,
reviews the plans for, and results of, audit engagements, approves professional
services provided by the independent public accountants, considers the range of
audit and nonaudit fees, and reviews the independent public accountants' letter
of comments and management's responses thereto, the adequacy of the Company's
internal accounting controls, and major accounting or financial reporting
matters.
The Executive Committee consists of Messrs. Beach, Martin and Peters. The
Executive Committee was formed in December 1997 to exercise all of the powers of
the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the
Company during intervals between meetings of the Board of Directors.
The Special Committee consists of Messrs. Adams, Chadwick and Howley. The
Special Committee was formed in December 1998 to analyze the benefits and
disadvantages of operating the Company as a self-administered and self-managed
real estate investment trust.
Since December 1998, the Compensation Committee has consisted of Messrs.
Howley, Krul and Chadwick. Prior to December 1998, the Compensation Committee
consisted of Messrs. Peters, Howley and Krul. The Compensation Committee
determines compensation for senior management, advises the Board of Directors on
the adoption and administration of employee benefit and compensation plans and
administers the Long-Term Incentive Plan.
Directors' Compensation. Each independent director is compensated at the
rate of $16,000 per year. Each director also receives $1,000 for attendance at
each meeting of the Board of Directors and of any committee or $250 for
participation in any meeting by telephone. Upon completion of the Company's
initial public offering in November 1997, Messrs. Peters, Ford, Krul and Howley
each received a 10-year option for 5,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at
$18.00 per share. Options to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock vested in
November 1998 and the remainder will vest in November 1999. Upon election to the
Board of Directors, Messrs. Adams and Chadwick each received a 10-year option
for 5,000 shares of the Common Stock, exercisable at $18.00 per share. Options
to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock will vest in October 1999 and the
remainder will vest in October 2000.
Directors who are not employees of the Company are eligible to participate
in the Company's Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Plan").
The Deferred Plan, which is administered by officers appointed by the Board of
Directors who are not eligible to participate in it, allows directors to defer
receipt of
5
8
the fees payable to them by the Company for their services as directors. The
value of the amounts credited to a director in the Deferred Plan increases or
decreases based on the market value of the Common Stock.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
Messrs. Howley and Krul each served on the Compensation Committee during
1998, and Messrs. Peters and Chadwick each served on the Compensation Committee
during a portion of 1998. None of Messrs. Peters, Howley, Krul and Chadwick have
been an officer or employee of the Company or have any financial relationship
with the Company other than disclosed herein. See "Election of
Directors -- Nominees for Election at the Annual Meeting -- Directors'
Compensation."
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
Introduction. The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining the
compensation to be paid to the Company's executive officers. The Committee also
is responsible for making major policy decisions with respect to health care and
other benefit plans and administers the Long-Term Incentive Plan.
The Compensation Committee seeks (i) to provide competitive compensation
that enables the Company to attract and retain qualified executives and align
their compensation with the Company's overall business strategies, and (ii) to
provide each executive officer with substantial incentive to work for the
success of the Company through stock options which provide for participation in
the Company's growth and success. To achieve this goal, the Compensation
Committee determines executive compensation with a focus on compensating
executive officers based on their responsibilities and the Company's
performance. The primary components of the Company's executive compensation
program are (i) base salaries and certain other annual compensation, (ii)
bonuses, and (iii) Common Stock options.
Base Salaries and Other Annual Compensation. The base salaries and certain
other compensation for the Company's executive officers in 1998 were determined
based upon the experience of the executives in the industry, together with
comparisons of compensation paid by companies of similar size in the real estate
investment trust industry. This compensation was determined after consulting
with the Company's financial advisors.
Messrs. Beach and Martin each have executed October 15, 1997 employment
agreements pursuant to which they receive base salaries of $150,000 and
$100,000, respectively, health and life insurance and certain other benefits.
The employment agreements also entitle Messrs. Beach and Martin to options to
purchase 400,000 shares and 200,000 shares of the Common Stock respectively for
a period of 10 years at a purchase price of $18.00 per share pursuant to the
Long-Term Incentive Plan. See "Executive Compensation -- Employment Agreements."
The Compensation Committee believes that these annual compensation packages are
commensurate with the experience and responsibility of Messrs. Beach and Martin.
Mr. Max's base salary for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 was $100,000.
Bonuses. The employment agreements each entitle Mr. Beach and Mr. Martin to
an annual bonus on a sliding scale of 10.0% to 100.0% of annual base salary
contingent, and based upon the percentage increase of FFO per share in any
calendar year from the prior calendar year. Bonuses relating to 1998 were paid
to Messrs. Beach and Martin in the amounts of $60,000 and $40,000, respectively.
Stock Options. All of the Company's executive officers are eligible to
receive options to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Long-Term Incentive
Plan. The Company believes that stock options provide valuable motivation and
long-term incentive to management. Stock option grants reinforce long-term goals
by providing the proper nexus between the interests of management and the
interests of the Company's stockholders. Pursuant to their employment
agreements, Messrs. Beach and Martin have been granted options under the
Long-Term Incentive Plan to purchase 400,000 and 200,000 shares of Common Stock,
respectively, at $18.00 per share. Mr. Max has been granted a 10-year option to
purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at $18.00 per share. Options to purchase
133,334, 66,667, and 16,667 shares of Common Stock by
6
9
Messrs. Beach, Martin and Max, respectively, vested on November 12, 1998. The
remaining options granted to Messrs. Beach, Martin and Max will vest and become
exercisable in two equal annual installments on November 12, 1999 and 2000. The
number of options granted initially to Messrs. Beach, Martin and Max was
determined through consultation with the managing underwriters of the Company's
initial public offering and based on the expected contribution of each of them
to the Company. Mr. Sherard has been granted a 10-year option to purchase
100,000 shares of Common Stock at $18.00 per share. The options granted to Mr.
Sherard vest and become exercisable in three equal annual installments on May 8,
1999, 2000 and 2001. See "Election of Directors -- Nominees for Election at the
Annual Meeting -- Directors' Compensation" for a description of the stock
options granted to the remaining directors.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), requires the Company's directors, executive officers and owners
of more than 10.0% of the Company's Common Stock to file with the Commission
initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock
and other equity securities of the Company. Executive officers, directors and
owners of more than 10.0% of the Common Stock are required by Commission
regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all forms they file pursuant
to Section 16(a).
To the Company's knowledge, based solely on its review of the copies of
such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other
reports were required during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, its
executive officers, directors and greater than 10.0% beneficial owners complied
with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements except that Messrs. Adams,
Sherard and Chadwick each made a single late filing of a Form 3 and Messrs.
Peters, Beach and Howley each made late filings of Forms 4.
OTHER MATTERS
The Company has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its independent
accountants for the current fiscal year. Representatives of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which served as the Company's independent public
accountants during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, are expected to be
present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if
they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
If the enclosed proxy is executed and returned to the Company, the persons
named in it will vote the shares represented by that proxy at the Annual
Meeting. The form of proxy permits specification of a vote for the election of
directors as set forth under "Election of Directors," the withholding of
authority to vote in the election of directors, or the withholding of authority
to vote for one or more specified nominees.
When a choice has been specified in the proxy, the shares represented will
be voted in accordance with that specification. If no specification is made,
those shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting to elect directors as set forth
under "Election of Directors." Under Delaware law, broker non-votes and
abstaining votes will not be counted in favor of or against any nominee. The
nine director nominees receiving the greatest number of affirmative votes will
be elected directors. If any other matter properly comes before the Annual
Meeting, the persons named in the proxy will vote thereon in accordance with
their judgment. Management does not know of any other matter that will be
presented for action at the Annual Meeting.
By order of the Board of Directors,
