 Our Leases Preserve Terminal Value Renewal Expectation    CorEnergy contracts are based on fair value of assetsAll leases enable tenant to either purchase asset or renew lease at fair market valueIf parties cannot agree on a value, an arbitrator will decideSince tenant can purchase the asset or renew the lease at fair value, the tenant cannot hurt the asset value during the lease term without paying damagesAsset value is based on production estimates in tenant reserve report and market values for similar assets (such as MLPs)Same at initial purchase and renewal process  CorEnergy can assert damages claims against actions taken during the term of the lease that devalue an asset, including the purchase or construction of replacement systems

 CorEnergy Per Diluted Common Share Financial Metrics   (1) The Company provides non-GAAP performance measures utilized by REITs, including NAREIT Funds From Operations (“NAREIT FFO”), Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”). Due to legacy investments that we hold, we have historically presented a measure of FFO derived by further adjusting NAREIT FFO for distributions received from investment securities, income tax expense, net, and net distributions and dividend income. Management uses AFFO as a measure of long-term sustainable operational performance. See slides 16 to 18 for a reconciliation of NAREIT FFO, FFO and AFFO, as presented, to Net income attributable to CorEnergy common stockholders.  Net Income to Common Shareholders  Adjusted Funds from Operations1  Dividends to Common Shareholders  NAREIT Funds from Operations1  Funds from Operations1  AFFO adjusts for the provision of loan loss, net of taxes attributed to the Black Bison & Four Wood Financing Notes in 1Q16

 Non-GAAP Financial Metrics: FFO/AFFO Reconciliation 
 

 Non-GAAP Financial Metrics: FFO/AFFO Reconciliation  Based on the economic return to CorEnergy resulting from the sale of our 40 percent undivided interest in EIP, we determined that it was appropriate to eliminate the portion of EIP lease income attributable to return of capital, as a means to more accurately reflect the EIP lease revenue contribution to CorEnergy-sustainable AFFO. CorEnergy believes that the portion of the EIP lease revenue attributable to return of capital, unless adjusted, overstates CorEnergy's distribution-paying capabilities and is not representative of sustainable EIP income over the life of the lease. The Company completed the sale of EIP on April 1, 2015. 
 

 Non-GAAP Financial Metrics: FFO/AFFO Reconciliation  The number of weighted average diluted shares represents the total diluted shares for periods when the Convertible Notes were dilutive in the per share amounts presented.  For periods presented without per share dilution, the number of weighted average diluted shares for the period is equal to the number of weighted average basic shares presented. 
 

 Non-GAAP Financial Metrics: Fixed-Charges Ratio  Fixed charges consist of interest expense, as defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, on all indebtednessThis line represents the amount of preferred stock dividends accumulated as of December 31, 2016.
