ITEM 1.01
ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

Term Loan Agreement

On November 3, 2015, Spirit Realty, L.P. (the “Borrower”), the operating partnership of Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with various lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Borrower may obtain loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $325,000,000 (subject to increase to up to $600,000,000 pursuant to the accordion feature included in the Loan Agreement). The Loan Agreement permits the Borrower to re-borrow, within a specified period of time, any amounts prepaid thereunder. The Loan Agreement is scheduled to mature on November 2, 2018, but the Borrower may, at its option and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of an extension fee, extend the maturity date of the Loan Agreement two times, in each case for a period of up to one year. Loans under the Loan Agreement bear interest at either LIBOR or a specified base rate plus, in each case a spread that varies based upon the leverage or public debt ratings of the Borrower as in effect from time to time. The Loan Agreement contains representations, covenants (including certain financial tests applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries) and defaults that are substantially the same as the corresponding provisions of the Borrower’s Credit Agreement referred to below. The Company has unconditionally guaranteed all obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement

On November 3, 2015, the Borrower entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of March 31, 2015 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, various lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Amendment, among other things:

revised the methodology for calculating the applicable margin;
revised certain financial covenants and certain related definitions; and
increased certain default thresholds.

Concurrently with the closing of, and as contemplated by, the Amendment, all of the original subsidiary guarantors of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement were released from their obligations under the guaranty. The Company continues to guaranty the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
