                          24 FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT DRIVE
                               LOBBY L, 4TH FLOOR
                           ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN 48105

                                          , 2001

Dear Limited Partner:

     This letter is being sent to the limited partners of Captec Franchise
Capital Partners L.P. IV, a Delaware limited partnership, in connection with the
solicitation by the partnership of written consents to:

     - transfer the general partner's interest owned by Captec Net Lease Realty,
       Inc., a Delaware corporation, to GP4 Asset Acquisition, LLC, a Michigan
       limited liability company;

     - admit GP4 Asset Acquisition as the general partner of the partnership;
       and

     - continue the business of the partnership with GP4 Asset Acquisition as
       the general partner.


     The proposal to which this letter and the enclosed consent relates is more
fully set forth below. This letter and the enclosed consent are first being
furnished on or about           , 2001, to the limited partners reflected on the
partnership's list of record and beneficial holders of limited partnership units
as of November 19, 2001. The general partner has established November 19, 2001
as the record date for determining the limited partners eligible to act by
written consent with respect to the proposal. Only limited partners of record on
the record date are eligible to consent to the proposal and the enclosed consent
form may be utilized only by such limited partners. We urge you to read this
letter carefully and sign, date and promptly mail the enclosed consent form to
the partnership.



     LIMITED PARTNERS ARE BEING ASKED TO CONSENT TO THE PROPOSAL BY SIGNING,
DATING AND PROMPTLY MAILING THE ENCLOSED CONSENT FORM NO LATER THAN           ,
2002.



                                  THE PROPOSAL

     The proposal provides for:

     - the transfer to GP4 Asset Acquisition of Captec's general partner's
       interest in the partnership and the withdrawal of Captec as general
       partner;

     - the admission of GP4 Asset Acquisition as general partner; and

     - the continuation of the business of the partnership with GP4 Asset
       Acquisition as general partner.


                            REASON FOR THE PROPOSAL



MERGER AGREEMENT



     The proposed transfer of the general partner's interest to GP4 Asset
Acquisition for which limited partner consent is sought is related to the
proposed merger of Captec with and into Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc., a
Maryland corporation, pursuant to a July 1, 2001 Agreement and Plan of Merger.
The separate corporate existence of Captec terminated upon completion of the
merger, which became effective on December 1, 2001.



ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT



     Contemporaneously with the execution of the merger agreement, Captec,
Commercial Net Lease Realty, Mr. Beach, CRC Acquisition and certain wholly-owned
subsidiaries of CRC Acquisition, including GP4 Asset Acquisition, executed the
asset purchase agreement pursuant to which certain non-real estate assets of
Captec will be sold to CRC Acquisition and its subsidiaries following completion
of the merger, subject to limited partner approval. The non-real estate assets
to be sold include the general partner's interest in the partnership. In
consideration of the sale of these assets pursuant to the asset purchase
agreement, CRC Acquisition has agreed to:



     - assume liabilities associated with those assets;



     - pay to Commercial Net Lease Realty (as successor in interest following
      the merger to the rights of Captec under the asset purchase agreement)
      $750,000 in cash; and



     - execute and deliver a promissory note in favor of Commercial Net Lease
      Realty in the principal amount of $6.75 million pursuant to the terms of a
      loan agreement between Commercial Net Lease Realty and CRC Acquisition and
      certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of CRC Acquisition, including GP4 Asset
      Acquisition.



No specific value has been assigned to the general partner's interest in the
partnership.



EFFECTS OF THE MERGER



     In connection with the management of the partnership, Captec does not have
its own administrative and professional infrastructure, but, rather, contracts
for advisory services from Financial Group and Captec Advisors, which are
affiliates of the partnership and Captec that are controlled by Mr. Beach.
Following consummation of the merger, neither Mr. Beach nor any other member of
Captec's management involved in the management of the partnership will be
employed by Commercial Net Lease Realty. The advisory agreement pursuant to
which Financial Group and Captec Advisors provide advisory services to Captec in
connection with the current management of the partnership will be terminated
upon completion of the merger. As described above under the heading "GP 4 Asset
Acquisition," following the merger and subject to the consent of the limited
partners to the proposal, Mr. Beach and all other members of Captec's management
involved in the management of the partnership, Financial Group and Captec
Advisors will continue to provide management services to the partnership as they
have since the formation of the partnership. Section 16.5 of the partnership
agreement provides that Captec may merge into another corporation which shall
succeed to all of its rights and responsibilities as general partner of

                                        2



the partnership without obtaining the consent of the limited partners. Since the
merger was consummated prior to the consent of the limited partners to the
proposal, Commercial Net Lease Realty became the general partner of the
partnership by operation of the merger and, pursuant to an assignment,
assumption and services agreement, Commercial Net Lease Realty assigned to CRC
Acquisition its economic interest as general partner in the partnership to the
extent permitted under Delaware law and CRC or one of its affiliates has assumed
all of Commercial Net Lease Realty's economic interest as general partner in the
partnership to the extent permitted under Delaware law and agreed to perform all
of the management services for the partnership that is has been past practice
for the managing general partner to have performed. The assignment, assumption
and services agreement also provides that Commercial Net Lease Realty shall
assign, and CRC Acquisition shall assume, the remaining portion of Commercial
Net Lease Realty's interest as general partner in the partnership following the
consent of the limited partners to the proposal. If limited partner consent has
not been obtained within two years of the sale pursuant to the asset purchase
agreement, Commercial Net Lease Realty can take back management control of the
partnership. For these reasons, continuity of management of the partnership
following completion of the merger of Captec into Commercial Net Lease Realty
can be assured only through limited partner consent to the proposal. See "GP4
Asset Acquisition."


                             GP4 ASSET ACQUISITION

     GP4 Asset Acquisition is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CRC Asset
Acquisition, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company. GP4 Asset Acquisition
has been created solely to acquire and own the general partner's interest in the
partnership and to serve as the general partner of the partnership, subject to
the consent of the limited partners.

     Patrick L. Beach, Captec's Chairman of the Board of Directors and President
and Chief Executive Officer, is the sole member of CRC Acquisition, which was
created solely to own, directly or through its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
certain assets to be acquired from Captec pursuant to a July 1, 2001 Asset
Purchase Agreement. Mr. Beach is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Captec Financial Group, Inc. and Captec
Net Lease Realty Advisors, Inc. and served as a co-general partner of the
partnership from its inception in 1996 until the sale of the general partner's
interest to Captec in 1998. Mr. Beach is a graduate of the University of
Michigan School of Business Administration (B.B.A. 1977).

     In connection with the management of the partnership, Captec does not have
its own administrative and professional infrastructure, but, rather, contracts
for advisory services from Financial Group and Captec Advisors, which are
affiliates of the partnership and Captec that are controlled by Mr. Beach.
Following consummation of the merger, neither Mr. Beach nor any other member of
Captec's management involved in the management of the partnership will be
employed by Commercial Net Lease Realty. The advisory agreement pursuant to
which Financial Group and Captec Advisors provide advisory services to Captec in
connection with the current management of the partnership will be terminated
upon completion of the merger.


     It is anticipated that, following the merger and subject to the consent of
the limited partners to this proposal, Financial Group and Captec Advisors will
continue to provide the same administrative, professional and advisory services
to the partnership as they have since the formation of the partnership.
Financial Group and Captec Advisors will continue to employ all of the members
of Captec's management that currently are involved in the management of the
partnership. As a result, although there will be a change in the general partner
of the partnership, there will be no change in the management team responsible
for the ongoing operations of the partnership. In addition to Mr. Beach
management will continue to include W. Ross Martin, H. Reid Sherard and Ronald
Max.



     Mr. Martin, in addition to serving as a director, Executive Vice President,
Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Captec, is a director, and Vice
Chairman of Financial Group and Captec Advisors. Mr. Martin joined Financial
Group in 1985 as Controller, was promoted to Vice President -- Finance in 1986,
Chief Financial Officer in 1994 and Vice Chairman in 2001, and currently serves
as a director and Vice

                                        3



Chairman of Financial Group and in a similar capacity for various of its
affiliates. Mr. Martin is a graduate of the University of Michigan School of
Business Administration (B.B.A. 1982) and a Certified Public Accountant.



     Mr. Sherard, Captec's Senior Vice President, also is President of Captec
Strategic Advisors and has been employed by Financial Group and its affiliates
since 1994. From 1986 to 1994 Mr. Sherard was employed by Franchise Finance
Corporation of America in several positions including Vice President,
Acquisitions. Mr. Sherard is a graduate of Charleston Southern University (B.S.
1970).



     Mr. Max, Captec's Chief Investment Officer, joined Financial Group in 1995
to help establish a retail properties acquisition and development program. From
1988 to 1995 Mr. Max held various positions with Brauvin Real Estate Funds,
including Chief Financial Officer and Director of Acquisitions. Mr. Max is a
graduate of Northern Illinois University (B.S. 1979) and a Certified Public
Accountant.


                   LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OWNERSHIP AND CONSENT


     As of November 19, 2001, there were           outstanding limited
partnership units eligible to consent to the proposal. Consents from the record
owners of at least           limited partnership units are required to approve
the proposal. Pursuant to Section 15.1.4 of the partnership agreement, limited
partnership units owned by Captec and its affiliates are excluded from
determining whether a majority vote has been obtained. As of the record date,
neither Captec nor any of its affiliates owned any limited partnership units.



        RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE GENERAL PARTNER


     The Board of Directors of Captec, with Mr. Beach abstaining, has
unanimously determined that the proposed actions are in the best interests of
the limited partners and recommends, as the board of the general partner of the
partnership, that the limited partners:

     - approve the transfer of the general partner's interest to GP4 Asset
       Acquisition;

     - admit GP4 Asset Acquisition as general partner of the partnership; and

     - continue the business of the partnership with GP4 Asset Acquisition as
       general partner.

          OBLIGATION OF CRC ACQUISITION AND CAPTEC TO SOLICIT CONSENT

     CRC Acquisition and Captec each are obligated to use commercially
reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of the limited partners as well as
the consent of the limited partners of Captec Franchise Capital Partners L.P.
III to transfer the general partner's interest in that partnership to another
wholly-owned subsidiary of CRC Acquisition. Consent of the limited partners to
the proposal is not a condition to closing the asset purchase agreement or the
merger nor is Captec's failure to obtain such consent a breach of the asset
purchase agreement.

FAILURE TO SOLICIT CONSENT

     The merger agreement obligates Captec, in its capacity as general partner
of the partnership, to prepare and file with the SEC this consent solicitation.
In the merger agreement, Captec has agreed to recommend, to the fullest extent
permitted by its fiduciary duties as the general partner of the partnership,
that the limited partners consent to and approve the transfer of Captec's
general partner's interest to GP4 Asset Acquisition. Captec also has agreed to
pay Commercial Net Lease Realty a fee of $250,000 if Captec did not so recommend
or if this consent solicitation did not include such a recommendation or if
Captec withdraws, amends or modifies, or proposes or resolves to withdraw, amend
or modify its recommendation, in each case, as a result of Captec's
determination that taking any of such actions is not permitted by Captec's
fiduciary duty as general partner of the partnership.

FAILURE TO OBTAIN CONSENT PRIOR TO MERGER


     Upon completion of the merger, Commercial Net Lease Realty became the
general partner of the partnership by operation of the merger. Upon closing of
the sale of the other assets pursuant to the asset

                                        4



purchase agreement, Captec's economic interest in the partnership was
transferred to CRC Acquisition and Mr. Beach pledged 10,000 shares of Commercial
Net Lease Realty preferred stock that he received in partial consideration of
the exchange of his shares of Captec common stock pursuant to the merger
agreement to secure CRC Acquisition's obligation to continue to seek approval of
the limited partners of each partnership to the transfer of the respective
general partner's interests. Those shares of Commercial Net Lease Realty
preferred stock represent $250,000 in value based upon a stated value and
liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. One-half of the pledged shares will
be released to Mr. Beach at such time as, with respect to each partnership,
limited partner consent has been obtained, the partnership is dissolved or
Commercial Net Lease Realty elects to take control of the partner's interest,
which, as successor in interest to Captec under the partnership agreement, it
has the right to do two years after the effective date of the sale of the other
assets pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, if such consents have not been
received at that time. If Commercial Net Lease Realty does not elect to take
control of the partnership interests, the pledged shares will be returned to Mr.
Beach.



EFFECT OF OBTAINING CONSENT



     If the requisite limited partner consents are obtained, the general
partner's interest currently owned by Captec will be transferred and assigned to
GP4 Asset Acquisition and GP4 Asset Acquisition will be admitted as general
partner of the partnership on or about the date on which Captec receives the
requisite limited partner consents. Subject to the consent of the limited
partners, simultaneous with the transfer of the general partner's interest owned
by Captec to GP4 Asset Acquisition, GP4 Asset Acquisition will become the
successor general partner of the partnership and the business of the partnership
will continue.


                           THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS UNDER THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

     The agreement of limited partnership of the partnership sets forth the
respective rights, duties and obligations of the general partners and the
limited partners. Section 15.1.2(b) provides that, prior to assigning the
general partner's interest, Captec, as general partner, must obtain the approval
of the limited partners by a vote of limited partners owning a majority of the
limited partnership interests outstanding. Upon withdrawal of Captec as general
partner, the limited partners, by a majority vote, may elect to continue the
business of the partnership and elect a successor general partner pursuant to
section 18.1.1 of the partnership agreement. In determining the existence of a
majority vote, the general partner's interest and/or units owned by Captec and
its affiliates (as defined in the partnership agreement) are excluded pursuant
to section 15.1.4 of the partnership agreement.

COMPENSATION TO GP4 ASSET ACQUISITION UNDER THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

     Upon approval and assignment of Captec's general partner's interest to GP4
Asset Acquisition, for its services as the general partner, GP4 Asset
Acquisition will be entitled to receive compensation from the partnership
pursuant to the partnership agreement. This compensation (which in many cases is
subordinated to certain distributions to the limited partners) includes real
property and equipment acquisition fees, a property management fee based on the
gross rental revenue of the partnership, reimbursement of expenses and specified
percentages of the net proceeds from the sale, refinancing or liquidation of
property or equipment. Based upon its 1.0% general partner's interest in the
partnership, pursuant to the partnership agreement, GP4 Asset Acquisition also
will receive 1.0% of all cash distributions made by the partnership, the amount
and timing of which distributions will be determined by GP4 Asset Acquisition as
the general partner. The compensation to be received by GP4 Asset Acquisition
will be identical to the compensation that Captec currently receives for serving
as general partner of the partnership.

                                        5


                                  THE CONSENT

GENERAL


     As of November 19, 2001, the partnership had           limited partnership
units outstanding. No limited partnership units are owned by Captec or any
affiliates and no single person or entity owns more than 5.0% of the limited
partnership units. Written consents from the record owners of at least
          limited partnership units are required to approve the proposal. At
such time as the partnership receives valid and unrevoked written consents from
limited partners owning at least a majority of the limited partnership units
outstanding, the consent of the limited partners will be deemed to have been
obtained, the consent process will be closed and the transfer of the general
partner's interest will take effect upon the closing of the asset purchase
agreement following, and contingent upon, the closing of the merger, or, if
later, the date on which the requisite limited partner consents have been
received.


VOTING; RECORD DATE

     Each limited partnership unit entitles the limited partner to one vote with
respect to the written consent solicited hereby. Only limited partners of record
on the record date may consent to the proposal. If your units are held in the
name of a brokerage firm, bank, nominee or other institution, only such
institution can sign a written consent with respect to your units and can do so
only at your direction. Accordingly, if your units are so held, please contact
your account representative and give instructions to have the enclosed consent
executed with respect to your units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect
to any units owned by an IRA or other account of which you are the beneficiary
and of which MAVRICC Management Services, Inc. (MAVRICC) is the servicer (which
units would be held in the name of the bank or other institution which is the
custodian or trustee of the account), MAVRICC will obtain written instructions
from such custodian or trustee confirming your instructions as expressed in your
consent with respect to the voting of your units in connection with the proposal
and directing and authorizing the partnership to vote your units as indicated by
you on the consent you return to the partnership.

     Because approval of the proposal requires the affirmative consent of
limited partners owning of record at least a majority of the limited partnership
units outstanding, abstentions and broker non-votes, which are consents from
brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions
from beneficial owners or other persons entitled to give consents with respect
to limited partnership units as to matters for which the brokers or nominees do
not have discretionary power, will have the effect of votes against the
proposal. Captec, as general partner of the partnership, recommends that limited
partners consent to the proposal.

CLOSE OF CONSENT SOLICITATION


     It is the present intention of the partnership to close this consent
solicitation as of the date on which valid and unrevoked written consents of
limited partners owning at least a majority of the limited partnership units
outstanding have been received by the partnership. The partnership is seeking,
if possible, to close this consent solicitation on or about           , 2002,
although, if necessary, the partnership may continue to solicit consents after
that time.


REVOCABILITY OF CONSENT

     A consent signed, dated and mailed by a limited partner subsequently may be
revoked by written notice of revocation to the partnership at any time prior to
the closing of the consent solicitation. A revocation may be in any written form
validly signed by the record holder provided it clearly states that such
holder's consent previously given is no longer effective. To prevent confusion,
the revocation must be dated. To be effective, a written revocation of a
previously executed and delivered consent must be delivered prior to the time
that the requisite number of executed, unrevoked consents have been received by
the partnership as set forth above. Any revocation may be delivered to Captec
Franchise Capital Partners L.P. IV at 24 Frank Lloyd Wright Drive, Lobby L, 4th
Floor, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105.

                                        6


RESULT OF CONSENT


     If the requisite consents are obtained:


     - Captec's general partner's interest will be transferred and assigned to
       GP4 Asset Acquisition, and, simultaneously with such transfer;

     - GP4 Asset Acquisition will be admitted as the successor general partner
       of the partnership;

     - the partnership agreement will be amended accordingly; and

     - the business of the partnership will continue.

Such amendment will reflect

     - the transfer of Captec's general partner's interest to GP4 Asset
       Acquisition;

     - the withdrawal of Captec from the partnership; and

     - the admission of GP4 Asset Acquisition as a successor general partner
       with respect to the transferred general partner's interest.

The amendment will be executed by GP4 Asset Acquisition and by Commercial Net
Lease Realty as successor in interest to Captec following the merger as general
partner on their own behalves and as attorney-in-fact for the limited partners
in accordance with section 19.1 of the partnership agreement.

EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION

     The expenses of this consent solicitation will be paid by Captec. Captec
will pay Georgeson Shareholder Communications, Inc. a fee of $5,000 plus
reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses for its services in soliciting consents.
In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers and employees of Captec
may solicit consents by telephone, facsimile, or otherwise. Directors, officers
and employees of Captec will not be additionally compensated for any such
solicitation, but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred.
Brokerage firms, fiduciaries and other custodians that forward soliciting
material to limited partners will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses
incurred in forwarding such material.
