(b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any

- 21 -

such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. The statements set forth in the second sentence of the third paragraph, in the sixth paragraph and in the seventh paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Pricing Prospectus, only insofar as such statements relate to the amount of selling concession, to stabilization activities that may be undertaken by the Underwriters or to the imposition of penalty bids, constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter, as such information is referred to in Sections 1(b), 1(c), 1(d), 1(e) and 6(c) and this Section 9.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, from the offering of the Notes. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the

- 22 -

other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

10.

(a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Notes which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at the Time of Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Notes on

- 23 -

the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter, you do not arrange for the purchase of such Notes, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Notes on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Notes, or the Company notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Notes, you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Notes.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes to be purchased at the Time of Delivery, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Notes which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at the Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Notes which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Notes of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes to be purchased at the Time of Delivery, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Notes of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

11. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Notes.

- 24 -

12. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company shall then be under no liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof. If this Agreement shall be terminated as a result of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8 (other than clauses (i), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 8(h)) hereof not being satisfied, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through you for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Notes, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

13. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Representatives.

All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you as the representatives in care of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, 1585 Broadway, 29^th Floor, New York, New York 10036, Attention: Investment Banking Division, (Phone: (212) 761-6691; Fax: (212) 507-8999); Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, 550 South Tryon Street, 5th Floor, Charlotte, North Carolina 28202, Attention: Transaction Management (e-mail: tmgcapitalmarkets@wellsfargo.com); Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282-2198, Attention: Registration Department; and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York, 10179, Attention: Investment Grade Syndicate Desk (Fax: (212) 834-6081); and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 9(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters’ Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company by you upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

The Company hereby acknowledges that, in accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

14. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 10 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company, the officers and directors of each Underwriter

- 25 -

and each person who controls the Company or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Notes from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

15. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “business day” shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.

16. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction, each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (iv) the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and (c) none of the activities of any Underwriter in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement constitutes a recommendation, investment advice or the solicitation of any action by any Underwriter with respect to any entity or natural person. The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

17. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

18. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTERS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Company agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this agreement or our engagement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and County of New York, and the Company agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.

19. The Company and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

- 26 -

20. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be executed and delivered via facsimile, electronic mail or other transmission method (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com), and any counterpart so executed and delivered will be deemed to have been duly and validly executed and delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

21. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company is authorized to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company relating to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriters imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.

22. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolutions Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Agent that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Agent of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event any Agent that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Agent becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Agent are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

For purposes of this Section 8: (A) “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k); (B) “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as the term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b); (C) “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable; and (D) “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 3 is entered into as of November 18, 2020 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”), among STORE Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to that certain Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of March 15, 2018, between the Company and the Trustee. Capitalized terms used in this Third Supplemental Indenture without definition have the respective meanings given to them in the Base Indenture.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company has delivered to the Trustee the Base Indenture, providing for the issuance by the Company from time to time of Securities in one or more Series;

WHEREAS, Section 2.2 of the Base Indenture provides for various matters with respect to any Series of Securities issued under the Base Indenture to be established in an indenture supplemental to the Base Indenture;

WHEREAS, the Company desires to execute this Third Supplemental Indenture to establish the form and to provide for the issuance of a Series of its senior notes designated as its 2.750% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”), in an initial aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has duly adopted resolutions authorizing the Company to execute and deliver this Third Supplemental Indenture; and

WHEREAS, all of the other conditions and requirements necessary to make this Third Supplemental Indenture, when duly executed and delivered, a valid and binding agreement in accordance with its terms and for the purposes herein expressed, have been performed and fulfilled.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Series of Securities provided for herein by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of Securities of such Series, as follows:

ARTICLE I.

RELATION TO BASE INDENTURE; DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1 Relation to Base Indenture. This Third Supplemental Indenture constitutes an integral part of the Base Indenture. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Third Supplemental Indenture, all provisions of this Third Supplemental Indenture are expressly and solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and any such provisions will not be deemed to apply to any other Securities issued under the Base Indenture and will not be deemed to amend, modify or supplement the Base Indenture for any purpose other than with respect to the Notes.

- 1 -

Section 1.2 Definitions. For all purposes of this Third Supplemental Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided for, or unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to Articles and Sections, unless otherwise specified, refer to the corresponding Articles and Sections of this Third Supplemental Indenture as they amend or supplement the Base Indenture, and not the Base Indenture or any other document.

“Acquired Debt” means Debt of a person (1) existing at the time such person is merged or consolidated with or into the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or becomes a Subsidiary of the Company or (2) assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the acquisition of assets from such person. Acquired Debt will be deemed to be incurred on the date the acquired person is merged or consolidated with or into the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or becomes a Subsidiary of the Company or the date of the related acquisition, as the case may be.

“Additional Notes” means additional Notes (other than the Initial Notes) issued under the Indenture in accordance with Sections 2.3, 2.7 and 6.4 hereof, as part of the same series as the Initial Notes.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date,

(1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided, however, that if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or

ARTICLE IV.

REDEMPTION OF NOTES

The provisions of Article III of the Base Indenture, as amended by the provisions of this Third Supplemental Indenture, will apply to the Notes.

Section 4.1 Optional Redemption of Notes.

(a) The Company will have the right to redeem the Notes at its option and in its sole discretion at any time or from time to time prior to the Par Call Date, in whole or in part. The redemption price (“Redemption Price”) will equal the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points (0.30% or thirty one-hundredths of one percent), plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date and such amount of interest will not be included in the redemption price (including the present value referred to above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the Redemption Price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the redemption date falls after a record date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Company will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such interest payment date to the holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding record date and such amount of interest will not be included in the redemption price. The Trustee shall have no duty to calculate or verify the calculations of the Adjusted Treasury Rate or the Comparable Treasury Price.

- 16 -

(b) The Company will not redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 4.1(a) hereof on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such an acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to the Notes to be redeemed).

(c) Any redemption and notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

Section 4.2 Notice of Optional Redemption, Selection of Notes.

(a) In case the Company will desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, it will fix a date for redemption and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer than five (5) Business Days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the date the notice of redemption is to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission), the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company, will mail (or send by electronic transmission) or cause to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission) a notice of such redemption not fewer than thirty (30) calendar days nor more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed in whole or in part at its last address as the same appears on the Note Register; provided, that if the Company makes such request of the Trustee, it will, together with such request, also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee; provided further that the text of the notice will be prepared by the Company. Such mailing will be by first class mail (unless sent by electronic transmission). The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, will be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part will not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

(b) Each such notice of redemption will specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (ii) the CUSIP number or numbers, if any, of the Notes being redeemed, (iii) the Redemption Date (which will be a Business Day), (iv) the Redemption Price at which Notes are to be redeemed, (v) the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and (vi) that interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after said date interest thereon or on the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue, and if such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions will be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions will not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date,

- 17 -

or by the Redemption Date so delayed. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption will identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any). In case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and will state that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

(c) Whenever any Notes are to be redeemed, the Company will give the Trustee written notice of the Redemption Date, together with an Officer’s Certificate as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed not fewer than five Business Days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the date notice of redemption is being sent to Holders.

(d) Subject to the satisfaction of any conditions of a conditional redemption, on or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 4.2, the Company will deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of monies in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for redemption at the appropriate Redemption Price; provided, that if such payment is made on the Redemption Date, it must be received by the Paying Agent, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date. The Company will be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 4.2(d) in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price (it being acknowledged that the Trustee have no obligation to invest any such deposit).

(e) If less than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes or portions thereof of the Global Note or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof), on a pro rata basis, by lot, or such other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate or is required by the Depositary; provided, however, that so long as the notes are represented by one or more Global Notes, interests in such Global Notes will be selected for redemption by DTC in accordance with its standard procedures therefor. The Notes (or portions thereof) so selected for redemption will be deemed duly selected for redemption for all purposes hereof.

Section 4.3 Payment of Notes Called for Redemption by the Company.

(a) If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 4.2 hereof, and subject to the satisfaction of any conditions of a conditional redemption, the Notes or portion of Notes with respect to which such notice has been given will become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the Redemption Price, and unless the Company defaults in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price, so long as Paying Agent holds funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, then (a) such Notes will cease to be outstanding on and after the Redemption Date, (b) subject to the right of holders as of the close of business on a record date to receive the corresponding interest payment, interest on the Notes or portion of Notes so called for redemption will cease to

- 18 -

accrue on and after the Redemption Date and (c) the Holders of the Notes will have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Notes at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified portions thereof will be paid and redeemed by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date.

(b) Upon presentation of any Note redeemed in part only, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Notes so presented.

ARTICLE VI.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

The following additional covenants will apply with respect to the Notes so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding:

Section 6.1 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain an office or agency in the United States where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or redemption and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and the Indenture may be served. As of the date of the Indenture, such office will be the Corporate Trust Office and, at any other time, at such other address as the Trustee may designate from time to time by notice to the Company. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency not designated or appointed by the Trustee. If at any time the Company will fail to maintain any such required office or agency or will fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporate Trust Office will not be a place for service of legal process on the Company.

The Company may also from time to time designate co-registrars and one or more offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

- 19 -

The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar and the Corporate Trust Office will be considered as one such office or agency of the Company for each of the aforesaid purposes.

Section 6.2 Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as provided in Section 7.8 of the Base Indenture, a Trustee, so that there will at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

Section 6.3 Reports. This Section 6.3 will replace Section 4.2 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

The Company will:

(a) file with or deliver to the Trustee, within fifteen (15) days after the Company files them with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and information, documents and other reports which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to those Sections, then the Company will file with or deliver to the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission under the Exchange Act, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports that Section 13 of the Exchange Act would require with respect to a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange, and within the time periods otherwise required by the rules and regulations of the SEC; and

(b) file with or deliver to the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants of the indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations.

Reports, information and documents filed with the Commission via the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time of such filing via EDGAR (or such successor) for purposes of this covenant; provided, however, that the Trustee will have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such reports, information or documents have been filed via EDGAR (or any successor thereto). Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such will not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including its compliance with any of its covenants relating to the notes (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate).

- 20 -

Section 6.4 Limitations on Incurrence of Debt.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ outstanding Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) is greater than 60% of the sum of the following (without duplication): (1) the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Total Assets as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial information is available plus (2) the aggregate undepreciated cost of any investments in real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the net aggregate amount of any securities offering proceeds and Debt proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to invest in real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Company or any Subsidiary since the end of such fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of such additional Debt, minus the aggregate undepreciated cost of any investments in real estate assets or mortgages receivable disposed of since the end of such fiscal quarter.

(b) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) secured by any Lien on any of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ property or assets, whether owned on the date of the indenture or subsequently acquired, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) of all of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ outstanding Debt that is secured by a Lien on any of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ property or assets is greater than 40% of the sum of (without duplication): (1) the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Total Assets as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial information is available; plus (2) the aggregate undepreciated cost of any investments in real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the net aggregate amount of any securities offering proceeds and Debt proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to invest in real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of such additional Debt, minus the aggregate undepreciated cost of any investments in real estate assets or mortgages receivable disposed of since the end of such fiscal quarter.

(c) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt (including without limitation Acquired Debt) if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to Annual Debt Service Charge for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred will have been less than 1.5:1 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP), and calculated on the following assumptions:

(i) such Debt and any other Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had been incurred, and the application of the proceeds from such Debt (including to repay or retire other Debt) had occurred, on the first day of such period;

- 21 -

(ii) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had occurred on the first day of such period (except that, in making this computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility, line of credit or similar facility will be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period); and

(iii) in the case of any acquisition or disposition or the placement of any assets in service or removal of any assets from service by Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale or asset purchase or sale or otherwise, such acquisition, disposition, placement in service or removal from service had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.

If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the calculation described in this Section 6.4(c) or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating rate, then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service Charge, the interest rate on such Debt will be computed on a pro forma basis by applying the daily rate which was, or would have been, in effect at the end of such four-quarter period to the greater of the amount of such Debt outstanding at the end of such period or the average amount of such Debt outstanding during such period. For purposes of this Section 6.4(c), Debt will be deemed to be incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries whenever the Company or such Subsidiary will create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof.

(d) The Company will not have at the end of each fiscal quarter Total Unencumbered Assets of less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ outstanding Unsecured Debt determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

Section 6.5 Insurance. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep in force upon all of the Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ properties and operations insurance policies carried with reputable companies in such amounts and covering all such risks as is customary in the industry in which the Company and its Subsidiaries do business in accordance with prevailing market conditions and availability.

Section 6.6 Maintenance of Properties. The Company will cause all of its properties used or useful in the conduct of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order, normal wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted, and supplied with all necessary equipment and the Company will cause all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements to be made, all as in the Company’s judgment may be necessary in order for the Company to at all times properly and advantageously conduct its business carried on in connection with such properties, except where the failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. The Company will not be

- 22 -

prevented from (1) removing permanently any property that has been condemned or suffered a casualty loss, if it is in their best interests; (2) discontinuing maintenance or operation of any property if, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, such removal is in the best interest of the Company and is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the holders of the notes; or (3) selling or otherwise disposing for value its properties in the ordinary course of business consistent with the terms of the Indenture.

Section 6.7 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged before it becomes delinquent: (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or on their respective income, profits or property; and (ii) all material lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies that, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the Company or its Subsidiaries respective properties; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in good faith.

Section 6.8 Existence. This Section 6.8 will replace Section 4.5 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

Subject to Article VII hereof, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, and rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors determines that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 8.1(e), 8.1(f) or 8.1(h) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the outstanding Notes (or, if any Notes have been called for redemption at the time of such acceleration, the redemption price therefor, if greater than such principal and interest) to be due and payable immediately, by a written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will become immediately due and payable.

such other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to express the opinion set forth below, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein.

For purposes of the opinion expressed below, we have assumed (i) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (ii) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals thereof, (iii) the legal capacity of natural persons, (iv) the genuineness of all signatures and (v) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by all parties and the validity and binding effect and enforceability thereof upon the Company (except as expressed in our opinion below).

Based upon the foregoing, and having regard for such legal considerations as we have considered necessary for purposes hereof, we are of the opinion that:

the Company is a corporation duly incorporated and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Maryland and is in good standing with the SDAT, and has the requisite corporate power to issue the Notes; and

the Notes are in the form contemplated by the Indenture, have been duly authorized by the Company for issuance and sale pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and, when authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee) and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement against payment therefor in accordance with the Resolutions and the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company under New York law, enforceable against the Company under New York law in accordance with their terms, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

The opinion in paragraph 1 with respect to incorporation, existence and good standing of the Company is based solely on the Good Standing Certificate.

Our opinion in paragraph 2 is subject to the following additional assumptions and qualifications:

(b) Further, we express no opinion on any provision contained in the Indenture or the Notes (i) relating to indemnification or contribution which are violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation), or that purports to release, exculpate or exempt a party from, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct; (ii) purporting to require a party thereto to pay or reimburse attorneys’ fees incurred by another party, or to indemnify another party therefor, which provisions may be limited by applicable statutes and decisions relating to the collection and award of attorneys’ fees; (iii) relating to consents to or restrictions upon governing law; (iv) regarding consent to service, jurisdiction, venue or forum of any claim, demand, action or cause of action arising under or related to the Indenture, the Notes or the transactions contemplated therein, which may not be binding on the courts in the forums selected or excluded; (v) purporting to waive certain rights or defenses, including the waiver by any party of the right to trial by jury, to the extent that such a waiver is deemed to violate public policy; (vi) that requires waiver or amendments to be made only in writing, or (vii) regarding the severability, if invalid, of provisions of such agreements.

Re:

Tax Opinion for REIT Status of STORE Capital Corporation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special tax counsel to STORE Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the offer and sale of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.750% Senior Notes due 2030, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333- 223206) (the “Registration Statement”), filed on February 26, 2018 with respect to the offer and sale from time to time by the Company of debt securities (the “Offering”) and a preliminary prospectus supplement, dated November 16, 2020 and a final prospectus supplement dated November 16, 2020 (together, the “Prospectus Supplement”).

In connection with rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals (or copies identified to our satisfaction as true copies of the originals) of the following documents (collectively, the “Reviewed Documents”):

(1)

the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement;

(2)

the base prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”);

(3)

the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement in effect as of the date hereof (the “Articles”);

(5)

the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company in effect as of the date hereof (the “Bylaws”); and

(6)

such other documents as may have been presented to us by the Company from time to time.

Board of Directors

STORE Capital Corporation

November 18, 2020

Page 2

In addition, we have relied upon the factual representations contained in the certificate issued by the Company, dated as of the date hereof, executed by a duly appointed officer of the Company, setting forth certain representations relating to the organization and operation of the Company and its subsidiaries.

For purposes of our opinions, we have not made an independent investigation of the facts set forth in the documents we reviewed. We consequently have assumed that the information presented in such documents or otherwise furnished to us accurately and completely describes all material facts relevant to our opinions. No facts have come to our attention, however, that would cause us to question the accuracy and completeness of such facts or documents in a material way. Any representation or statement in any document upon which we rely that is made “to the best of our knowledge” or otherwise similarly qualified is assumed to be correct. Any alteration of such facts may adversely affect our opinions. In particular, we note that the Company may engage in transactions in connection with which we have not provided legal advice, have not reviewed and of which we may be unaware.

In our review, we have assumed, with your consent, that all of the representations and statements of a factual nature set forth in the documents we reviewed are true and correct, and all of the obligations imposed by any such documents on the parties thereto have been and will be performed or satisfied in accordance with their terms. We have also assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the proper execution of all documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of the originals from which any copies were made.

The opinions set forth in this letter are based on relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the regulations promulgated thereunder by the United States Department of the Treasury (“Regulations”) (including proposed and temporary Regulations), and interpretations of the foregoing as expressed in court decisions, the legislative history, and existing administrative rulings and practices of the Internal Revenue Service (including its practices and policies in issuing private letter rulings, which are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) except with respect to a taxpayer that receives such a ruling), all as of the date hereof.

In rendering these opinions, we have assumed that the transactions contemplated by the Reviewed Documents have been or will be consummated in accordance with the terms and provisions of such documents, and that such documents accurately reflect the material facts of such transactions. In addition, the opinions are based on the assumption that the Company and its subsidiaries (if any) will each be operated in the manner described in the Articles, the Bylaws and the other organizational documents of each such entity and their subsidiaries, as the case may be, and all terms and provisions of such agreements and documents will be complied with by all parties thereto.

It should be noted that statutes, regulations, judicial decisions, and administrative interpretations are subject to change at any time and, in some circumstances, with retroactive effect. A material change that is made after the date hereof in any of the foregoing bases for our opinions could affect our conclusions. Furthermore, if the facts vary from those relied upon (including any representations, warranties, covenants or assumptions upon which we have relied are inaccurate, incomplete, breached or ineffective), our opinions contained herein could be inapplicable. Moreover, the qualification and taxation of the Company as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) depends upon its ability to meet, through actual annual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of share ownership and the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, the results of which will not be reviewed by the undersigned. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of the operations of the Company for any one taxable year will satisfy such requirements.

Board of Directors

STORE Capital Corporation

November 18, 2020

Page 3

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that (i) commencing with the Company’s taxable year ended December 31, 2011, the Company has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as REIT under the Code, and its proposed method of operation as described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement will enable the Company to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and (ii) the statements contained in the section of the Prospectus entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” and in the section of the Prospectus Supplement entitled “Additional Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of U.S. federal income tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects.

The foregoing opinions are limited to the matters specifically discussed herein, which are the only matters to which you have requested our opinions. Other than as expressly stated above, we express no opinion on any issue relating to the Company, or to any investment therein.

As noted in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, the Company’s qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon its ability to meet, through actual operating results, certain requirements relating to the sources of its income, the nature of its assets, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership, and various other qualification tests imposed under the Code, the results of which are not reviewed by us. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of the Company’s operation for any one taxable year will satisfy the requirements for taxation as a REIT under the Code.

This opinion is rendered to you and may not be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise referred to, nor be filed with, or furnished to, any other person or entity. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Registration Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and to the reference to this firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ DLA PIPER LLP (US)
