CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In many cases, these forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "will," "may," "should," "could," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "projects," "goals," "objectives," "targets," "predicts," "plans," "seeks," or similar expressions.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and we can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained. Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of known and unknown risks and uncertainties. You should also understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the following list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements include:
the ability of our tenants and borrowers to make payments under their respective leases and mortgage loans, our reliance on certain major tenants under single tenant leases and our ability to re-lease properties;
changes in economic and business conditions in the energy infrastructure sector where our investments are concentrated, including the financial condition of our tenants or borrowers and general economic conditions in the particular sectors of the energy industry served by each of our infrastructure assets;
the inherent risks associated with owning real estate, including real estate market conditions, governing laws and regulations, including potential liabilities related to environmental matters, and the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;
risks associated with the bankruptcy or default of any of our tenants or borrowers, including the exercise of the rights and remedies of bankrupt entities;
the impact of laws and governmental regulations applicable to certain of our infrastructure assets, including additional costs imposed on our business or other adverse impacts as a result of any unfavorable changes in such laws or regulations;

our ability to successfully implement our selective acquisition strategy, including the inability to pursue our strategy due to unresolved issues impacting our current significant tenants or borrowers;
our ability to obtain suitable tenants for our properties;
our ability to refinance amounts outstanding under our credit facilities and our convertible notes at maturity on terms favorable to us;
changes in interest rates under our current credit facilities and under any additional variable rate debt arrangements that we may enter into in the future;
our ability to comply with certain debt covenants;
dependence by us and our tenants on key customers for significant revenues, and the risk of defaults by any such tenants or customers;
our or our tenants' ability to secure adequate insurance and risk of potential uninsured losses, including from natural disasters;
the continued availability of third-party pipelines, railroads or other facilities interconnected with certain of our infrastructure assets;
risks associated with owning, operating or financing properties for which the tenants', mortgagors' or our operations may be impacted by extreme weather patterns and other natural phenomena;
our ability to sell properties at an attractive price;
market conditions and related price volatility affecting our debt and equity securities;
competitive and regulatory pressures on the revenues of our interstate natural gas transmission business;
changes in federal or state tax rules or regulations that could have adverse tax consequences;
declines in the market value of our investment securities;
our ability to maintain internal controls and processes to ensure all transactions are accounted for properly, all relevant disclosures and filings are timely made in accordance with all rules and regulations, and any potential fraud or embezzlement is thwarted or detected;
changes in federal income tax regulations (and applicable interpretations thereof), or in the composition or performance of our assets, that could impact our ability to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes; and

risks related to potential terrorist attacks, acts of cyber-terrorism, or similar disruptions that could disrupt access to our information technology systems or result in other significant damage to our business and properties, some of which may not be covered by insurance and all of which could adversely impact distributions to our stockholders.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. While we may update these statements from time to time, we are not required to do so other than pursuant to applicable laws.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
June 30, 2017
1. INTRODUCTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Introduction
CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. ("CorEnergy" or "the Company"), was organized as a Maryland corporation and commenced operations on December 8, 2005. The Company's common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "CORR" and the depositary shares representing its Series A Preferred Stock are listed on the NYSE under the symbol "CORR PrA".
The Company is primarily focused on acquiring and financing real estate assets within the U.S. energy infrastructure sector and concurrently entering into long-term triple-net participating leases with energy companies. The Company also may provide other types of capital, including loans secured by energy infrastructure assets. Targeted assets include pipelines, storage tanks, transmission lines, and gathering systems, among others. These sale-leaseback or real property mortgage transactions provide the energy company with a source of capital that is an alternative to other sources such as corporate borrowing, bond offerings, or equity offerings. Many of the Company's leases contain participation features in the financial performance or value of the underlying infrastructure real property asset. The triple-net lease structure requires that the tenant pay all operating expenses of the business conducted by the tenant, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, and expenses of maintaining the asset in good working order. CorEnergy considers its investments in these energy infrastructure assets to be a single business segment and reports them accordingly in its financial statements.
In 2013 CorEnergy qualified, and in March 2014 elected (effective as of January 1, 2013), to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Because certain of the Company's assets may not produce REIT-qualifying income or be treated as interests in real property, those assets are held in wholly-owned Taxable REIT Subsidiaries ("TRSs") in order to limit the potential that such assets and income could prevent the Company from qualifying as a REIT. The Company's use of TRSs enables it to continue to engage in certain businesses while complying with REIT qualification requirements and also allows it to retain income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement of distributing those earnings. In the future, the Company may elect to reorganize and transfer certain assets or operations from its TRSs to the Company or other subsidiaries, including qualified REIT subsidiaries. TRSs hold the Company's securities portfolio, operating businesses and certain financing notes receivable.
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include CorEnergy accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP set forth in the ASC, as published by the FASB, and with the SEC instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. There were no adjustments that, in the opinion of management, were not of a normal and recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation, and the Company's net earnings are reduced by the portion of net earnings attributable to non-controlling interests.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or any other interim or annual period. These consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with CorEnergy's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2016 , filed with the SEC on March 2, 2017 (the "2016 CorEnergy 10-K").
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers " ("ASU 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The standard was originally effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date making the standard effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently planning to use the modified retrospective transition method. The Company is also currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures, as well as its processes and internal controls.

14


As part of its assessment work, the Company has formed an implementation team, completed training on the new revenue recognition model and is undertaking a review of its contracts. However, the Company does not expect that adoption of the standard will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, as a substantial portion of its revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from ASU 2014-09.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 "Financial Instruments — Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which will require entities to measure their investments at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the new practicability exception. The practicability exception will be available for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard but does not believe that its adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. At adoption, the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" ("ASU 2016-13"), which introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit losses ("CECL model"), will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early application of the guidance will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting the new standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements but believes that, unless the Company acquires any additional financing receivables, the impact will not be material.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This new standard will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case we would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard but does not expect that its adoption will have a material impact.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business," which clarifies the definition of "a business" to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The standard introduces a screen for determining when assets acquired are not a business and clarifies that a business must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that contribute to an output to be considered a business. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is allowed for transactions where the acquisition (or subsidiary deconsolidation) occurs before the effective date of the amendments and the transaction has not been previously reported in the financial statements. Management is currently evaluating the impact and timing of adopting the new standard.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"), which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard is effective for annual or interim tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Effective January 1, 2017, Management has elected to early adopt this standard in connection with its goodwill impairment testing performed subsequent to January 1, 2017. As the standard will be applied prospectively, for measurement of goodwill impairment losses when an impairment is indicated, the impact of adoption to the financial statements will depend on various factors.  However, elimination of the second step will reduce the complexity and cost of measuring any such impairment.
3. LEASED PROPERTIES AND LEASES
As of June 30, 2017 , the Company had three significant leased properties located in Oregon, Wyoming, Louisiana, and the Gulf of Mexico, which are leased on a triple-net basis to major tenants, described in the table below. These major tenants are responsible

Substantially all of the lease tenants' financial results are driven by exploiting naturally occurring oil and natural gas hydrocarbon deposits beneath the Earth's surface. As a result, the tenants' financial results are highly dependent on the performance of the oil and natural gas industry, which is highly competitive and subject to volatility. During the terms of the leases, management monitors the credit quality of its tenants by reviewing their published credit ratings, if available, reviewing publicly available financial statements, or reviewing financial or other operating statements, monitoring news reports regarding the tenants and their respective businesses, and monitoring the timeliness of lease payments and the performance of other financial covenants under their leases.

4. FINANCING NOTES RECEIVABLE
Financing notes receivable are presented at face value plus accrued interest receivable and deferred loan origination costs, and net of related direct loan origination income. Each quarter the Company reviews its financing notes receivable to determine if the balances are realizable based on factors affecting the collectability of those balances. Factors may include credit quality, timeliness of required periodic payments, past due status, and management discussions with obligors. The Company evaluates the collectability of both interest and principal of each of its loans to determine if an allowance is needed. An allowance will be recorded when, based on current information and events, the Company determines it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. If the Company does determine an allowance is necessary, the amount deemed uncollectable is expensed in the period of determination. An insignificant delay or shortfall in the amount of payments does not necessarily result in the recording of an allowance. Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if management otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing financing revenue on that loan until all principal and interest have been brought current. Interest income recognition is resumed if and when the previously reserved for financing notes become contractually current and performance has been demonstrated. Payments received subsequent to the recording of an allowance will be recorded as a reduction to principal.
Black Bison Financing Notes
On February 29, 2016, the Company foreclosed on 100 percent of the equity of BB Intermediate, the borrower of the Black Bison financing notes, as well as all of the other collateral securing the Black Bison Loans. The foreclosure was accepted in satisfaction of $2.0 million of the total outstanding loan balance. On June 16, 2016, the Company entered into an asset sale agreement with Expedition Water Solutions for the sale of specified disposal wells and related equipment as outlined in the sale agreement. Consideration received by the company included $748 thousand cash, net of fees, and the future right to royalty payments, which was recorded at its fair value of $450 thousand . The rights to future cash payments are tied to the future volumes of water disposed of in each of the wells sold. The Company did not record any financing revenue related to the Black Bison Loans for the six months ended June 30, 2016 or any subsequent period. These notes were considered by the Company to be on non-accrual status and were reflected as such in the financial statements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company recorded $369 thousand and $832 thousand , respectively, in provision for loan losses related to the Black Bison Loans.
Four Wood Financing Note Receivable
As a result of the decreased economic activity by SWD, the Company recorded a provision for loan loss with respect to the SWD Loans. The Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 reflect a Provision for Loan Loss of $3.5 million , which includes $71 thousand of deferred origination income and $98 thousand of interest accrued under the original loan agreements. The loans were placed on non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2016.
5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The FASB issued ASU 2015-02, "Consolidations (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis" ("ASU 2015-02"), which amended previous consolidation guidance, including introducing a separate consolidation analysis specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities. Under this analysis, limited partnerships and other similar entities are considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. Management determined that Pinedale LP and Grand Isle Corridor LP are VIEs under the amended guidance because the limited partners of both partnerships lack both substantive kick-out rights and participating rights. As such, management evaluated the qualitative criteria under FASB ASC Topic 810 - Consolidation in conjunction with ASU 2015-02 to make a determination whether these partnerships should be consolidated on the Company's financial statements. ASC Topic 810-10 requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity's activities to consolidate the VIE. The primary beneficiary is identified as the enterprise that has a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could

18


potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The standard requires an ongoing analysis to determine whether the variable interest gives rise to a controlling financial interest in the VIE. Based on the general partners’ roles and rights as afforded by the partnership agreements and its exposure to losses and benefits of each of the partnerships through its significant limited partner interests, management determined that CorEnergy is the primary beneficiary of both Pinedale LP and Grand Isle Corridor LP. Based upon that evaluation, the consolidated financial statements presented include full consolidation with respect to both of the partnerships.
6. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , are as follows:

As of June 30, 2017 , the total deferred tax assets and liabilities presented above relate to the Company's TRSs. The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as part of tax expense. Tax years subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2012 remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.
Total income tax expense (benefit) differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate of 35 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 to income or loss from operations and other income and expense for the periods presented, as follows:

Total income taxes are computed by applying the federal statutory rate of 35 percent plus a blended state income tax rate. Corridor Public Holdings, Inc. and Corridor Private Holdings, Inc. had a blended state rate of approximately 3.78 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2.82 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 . CorEnergy BBWS, Inc. does not record a provision for state income taxes because it operates only in Wyoming, which does not have state income tax. Because Mowood Corridor, Inc. and Corridor MoGas, Inc. primarily only operate in the state of Missouri, a blended state income tax rate of 5 percent was used for the operations of both TRSs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 . For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , all of the income tax benefit presented above relates to the assets and activities held in the Company's TRSs. The components of income tax expense (benefit) include the following for the periods presented:

At June 30, 2017 , the only assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were the Company's derivatives and its equity securities. On March 30, 2016, the Company terminated one of the cash flow hedges with a notional amount of $26.3 million concurrent with the assignment of the Pinedale Credit Facility. The remaining cash flow hedge was de-designated from hedge accounting as of March 30, 2016, and continues to be valued using a consistent methodology and therefore is classified as a Level 2 measurement. Subsequent to de-designation, changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings in the period in which the changes occur.
The valuation of the interest rate swaps are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including forward interest rate curves. The inputs used to value the derivatives fall primarily within Level 2 of the value hierarchy.
The changes for all Level 3 securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

Valuation Techniques and Unobservable Inputs
The Company’s other equity securities, which represent securities issued by private companies, are classified as Level 3 assets and the Company has elected to report at fair value under the fair value option. Significant judgment is required in selecting the assumptions used to determine the fair values of these investments.
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company’s investment in Lightfoot is its only remaining significant private company investment. Lightfoot, in turn, owns a combination of public and private investments. Therefore, Lightfoot was valued using a combination of the following valuation techniques: (i) public share price of private companies' investments, and (ii) discounted cash flow analysis using an estimated discount rate of 15.7 percent to 17.7 percent and 15.3 percent to 17.3 percent as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investment may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s investment may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investment and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize.
As of both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company held a 6.6 percent and 1.5 percent equity interest in Lightfoot LP and Lightfoot GP, respectively. Lightfoot’s assets include an ownership interest in Gulf LNG, a 1.5 billion cubic feet per day ("bcf/d") receiving, storage, and regasification terminal in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and common units and subordinated units representing an approximately 40 percent aggregate limited partner interest, and a noneconomic general partner interest, in Arc Logistics Partners LP (NYSE: ARCX). The Company holds observation rights on Lightfoot's Board of Directors.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value, but fair value is included for disclosure purposes only, as required under disclosure guidance related to the fair value of financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — The carrying value of cash, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements approximates fair value.

22


Financing Notes Receivable — The financing notes receivable are valued on a non-recurring basis. The financing notes receivable are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Financing Notes with carrying values that are not expected to be recovered through future cash flows are written-down to their estimated net realizable value. Estimates of realizable value are determined based on unobservable inputs, including estimates of future cash flow generation and value of collateral underlying the notes.
Secured Credit Facilities — The fair value of the Company’s long-term variable-rate debt under its secured credit facilities approximates carrying value.
Unsecured Convertible Senior Notes — The fair value of the unsecured convertible senior notes is estimated using quoted market prices.

CorEnergy Credit Facility
The Company maintains a credit facility with Regions Bank (as lender and administrative agent for the other participating lenders) to provide borrowing commitments of  $153.0 million , consisting of (i) a $105.0 million revolver at the CorEnergy parent entity level (the "CorEnergy Revolver"), (ii) a  $45.0 million  term loan at the CorEnergy parent entity level (the "CorEnergy Term Loan") and (iii) a  $3.0 million  revolving credit facility at the MoGas subsidiary entity level (the "MoGas Revolver" and, collectively with the CorEnergy Revolver and the CorEnergy Term Loan, the "CorEnergy Credit Facility").

23


The CorEnergy Credit Facility has a maturity date of December 15, 2019. Borrowings under the credit facility will generally bear interest on the outstanding principal amount using a LIBOR pricing grid that is expected to equal a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of  2.75 percent  to  3.75 percent , based on the Company's senior secured recourse leverage ratio. Total availability is subject to a borrowing base. The CorEnergy Credit Facility contains, among other restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain financial ratios, as well as default and cross-default provisions customary for transactions of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods). As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the CorEnergy Credit Facility.
On April 18, 2017, the Company repaid the $44.0 million in outstanding borrowings on the CorEnergy Revolver with a portion of the proceeds from a follow-on offering of its 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock, as discussed further in Note 11 ("Stockholder's Equity") . As of June 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $98.2 million and $3.0 million of availability under the CorEnergy Revolver and MoGas Revolver, respectively.
On July 28, 2017 , the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of the CorEnergy Credit Facility with Regions Bank (as lender and administrative agent for other participating lenders). See Note 13 ("Subsequent Events") for further discussion of the amended and restated credit facility.
Pinedale Credit Facility
On December 20, 2012, Pinedale LP closed on a $70.0 million secured term credit facility. Outstanding balances under the original facility generally accrued interest at a variable annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.25 percent . This credit facility was secured by the Pinedale LGS asset. The credit facility remained in effect until December 31, 2015, with an option to extend through December 31, 2016. Although the Company elected not to extend the facility for an additional one-year period, it did amend the facility to extend the maturity date to March 30, 2016. During the extension period, the company made principal payments of $3.2 million and the credit facility bore interest on the outstanding principal amount at LIBOR plus 4.25 percent .
On March 4, 2016, the Company obtained a consent from its lenders under the CorEnergy Credit Facility, which permitted the Company to utilize the CorEnergy Revolving Credit Facility to refinance the Company's pro rata share of the remaining balance of the Pinedale secured term credit facility. On March 30, 2016, the Company and Prudential ("the Refinancing Lenders"), refinanced the remaining $58.5 million principal balance of the $70.0 million credit facility (on a pro rata basis equal to their respective equity interests in Pinedale LP, with the Company’s 81.05 percent share being approximately $47.4 million ) and executed a series of agreements assigning the credit facility to CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. as Agent for the Refinancing Lenders. The facility was further modified to extend the maturity date to March 30, 2021; to increase the LIBOR Rate to the greater of (i) 1.00 percent and (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate; and to increase the LIBOR Rate Spread to 7.00 percent per annum. The Company's portion of the debt and interest is eliminated in consolidation and Prudential's portion of the debt is shown as a related-party liability. The Company also terminated one of two related interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $26.3 million .
Pinedale LP's credit facility with the Refinancing Lenders limits distributions by Pinedale LP to the Company. Such distributions are permitted to the extent required for the Company to maintain its REIT qualification, so long as Pinedale LP's obligations under the credit facility have not been accelerated following an Event of Default (as defined in the credit facility). Pinedale LP automatically entered into a Cash Control Period (as defined in the credit facility) with the Refinancing Lenders upon the April 29, 2016 bankruptcy filing by Ultra Wyoming and its parent guarantor, Ultra Petroleum. During the Cash Control Period, the Company as Agent swept all funds for the repayment of accrued interest, scheduled principal payments and principal prepayments on the loans. Ultra Petroleum emerged from bankruptcy in April 2017, resulting in the end of the Cash Control Period and, in May 2017, Pinedale LP resumed distributions.
The Company has provided to Prudential a guarantee against certain inappropriate conduct by or on behalf of Pinedale LP or us. The credit facility also requires Pinedale LP to maintain minimum net worth levels and certain leverage ratios, which along with other provisions of the credit facility limit cash dividends and loans to the Company. At June 30, 2017 , the net assets of Pinedale LP were $146.1 million and Pinedale LP was in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the Pinedale Credit Facility.
Deferred Financing Costs
The CorEnergy Credit Facility's deferred financing costs, net, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $1.7 million and $2.2 million , respectively. This portion of deferred financing costs relate to a revolving credit facility and are not presented as a reduction to long-term debt but rather as deferred costs in the assets section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

11. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
PREFERRED STOCK
On April 18, 2017, the Company closed a follow-on underwritten public offering of 2,800,000 depository shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock, at a price of $25.00 per depository share. On May 10, 2017, the Company sold an additional 150,000 depository shares at a public offering price of $25.00 per depository share in connection with the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option to purchase additional shares. Total proceeds from the offering were approximately $71.2 million , after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. A portion of the proceeds from the offering were utilized to repay $44.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the CorEnergy Revolver. Following the offering,

25


the Company has a total of 5,200,000 depository shares outstanding. See Note 13 ("Subsequent Events") for further information regarding the declaration of a dividend on the 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock.
COMMON STOCK
As of June 30, 2017 , the Company has 11,901,681 of common shares issued and outstanding. See Note 13 ("Subsequent Events") for further information regarding the declaration of a dividend on the common stock.
SHELF REGISTRATION
On February 18, 2016, the Company had a new shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC, pursuant to which it may publicly offer additional debt or equity securities with an aggregate offering price of up to $600.0 million .
As of June 30, 2017 , the Company has issued 49,164 shares of common stock under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to the February 18, 2016 shelf, reducing availability by approximately $1.3 million . Shelf availability was further reduced by approximately $73.8 million as a result of the follow-on offering of additional 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock during the second quarter of 2017. As of June 30, 2017 , availability on the current shelf registration is approximately $524.9 million .
12. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share data is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted EPS data is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including all potentially issuable shares of common stock. Diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 excludes the impact to income and the number of shares outstanding from the conversion of the 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes because such impact would be antidilutive.

Amendment and Restatement of CorEnergy Credit Facility
On July 28, 2017 , the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of the CorEnergy Credit Facility with Regions Bank (as lender and administrative agent for other participating lenders). The amended facility provides for commitments of up to $161.0 million , comprised of (i) increased commitments on the CorEnergy Revolver of up to $160.0 million , subject to borrowing base limitations, and (ii) a $1.0 million commitment on the MoGas Revolver. The amended facility has a 5 -year term maturing on July 28, 2022 , and provides for a springing maturity on February 28, 2020, and thereafter, if the Company fails to meet certain liquidity requirements from the springing maturity date through the maturity of the Company's convertible notes on June 15, 2020.
Other terms of the amended and restated CorEnergy Credit Facility are substantially the same as the prior facility. Borrowings under the credit facility will generally bear interest on the outstanding principal amount using a LIBOR pricing grid that is expected to equal a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75 percent  to  3.75 percent , based on the Company's senior secured recourse leverage ratio. The CorEnergy Credit Facility contains, among other restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain financial ratios, as well as default and cross-default provisions customary for transactions of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods).
In connection with entering into the amended and restated facility, the Company used cash on hand and borrowings under the amended facility to repay the $33.5 million outstanding balance on the CorEnergy Term Loan on the prior facility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in this Report on Form 10-Q of CorEnergy Infrastructure, Inc. ("the Company," "CorEnergy," "we" or "us"). The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including anticipated financial performance, business prospects, industry trends, shareholder returns, performance of leases by tenants, performance on loans to customers, and other matters, which reflect management's best judgment based on factors currently known. See "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" which is incorporated herein by reference. Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , filed with the SEC on March 2, 2017, and Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in this Report on Form 10-Q.
BUSINESS OBJECTIVE
CorEnergy primarily owns assets in the U.S. energy sector that perform utility-like functions, such as pipelines, storage terminals, rail terminals and gas and electric transmission and distribution assets. Our objective is to provide shareholders with a stable and growing cash dividend, supported by long-term contracted revenue from operators of our assets, primarily under triple-net participating leases. These leases generate stable cash flows without direct commodity price exposure. We believe our leadership team’s energy and utility expertise provides CorEnergy with a competitive advantage to acquire, own and lease U.S. energy infrastructure assets in a tax-efficient, transparent, investor-friendly REIT. We meet the capital needs of companies in the U.S. energy infrastructure sector because we are a passive, long-term partner using our management's extensive industry knowledge to customize our long-term leases and structured financings. Our leadership team also has extensive insight on the broad universe of assets that may be owned by a REIT and utilizes a disciplined investment philosophy developed through an average of over 24 years of relevant industry experience.
We expect our leases to provide us with contracted base rent, plus participating rent based upon asset-specific criteria. The energy industry commonly employs contracts with participating features, and we provide exposure to both the risk and opportunity of utilization of our assets, which we believe is a hallmark of infrastructure assets of all types. Our participating triple-net leases require the operator to pay all expenses of the business including maintaining our assets in good working order.
The majority of our assets leased to tenants under triple-net leases are dependent upon the tenants' exploitation of hydrocarbon reserves in the fields where our assets are located. These reserves are depleted over time, and therefore, may economically diminish the value of our assets over the period that the underlying reserves are exploited. Accordingly, we expect the contracted base rents under these leases, including fair market renewal rent expectations, to provide for a return on capital, as well as a return of capital, over the life of the asset. The portion of rents we believe to constitute a return of capital are utilized for debt repayment and/or are reserved for capital reinvestment activities in order to maintain our long-term earnings and dividend paying capacity. The return on capital is that portion of rents which are available for distribution to our shareholders through dividend payouts.
Base rents under our leases are structured on an estimated fair market value rent structure over the initial term, which includes assumptions related to the terminal value of our assets and expectations of tenant renewals. At the conclusion of the initial lease term, our leases generally contain fair market value repurchase options or fair market rent renewal terms. These clauses also act as safeguards against our tenants pursuing activities which would undermine or degrade the value of our assets faster than the underlying reserves are depleted. Our participating rents are structured to provide exposure to the commercial activity of the tenant, and as such, also provide protection in the event that the economic life of our assets is reduced based on accelerated production by our tenants.
Our assets are primarily mission-critical to our customers, in that utilization of our assets is necessary for the business they seek to conduct and their rental payments are an essential operating expense. For example, our crude oil gathering system assets are necessary to the exploitation of upstream crude oil reserves, so the operators' lease of those assets is economically critical to their operations. Some of our assets are subject to rate regulation by FERC or state public utility commissions. Further, energy infrastructure assets are an essential and growing component of the U.S. economy that give us the opportunity to assist the capital expansion plans and meet the capital needs of various midstream and upstream participants.
We intend to distribute substantially all of our cash available for distribution, less prudent reserves, on a quarterly basis. CorEnergy targets dividend growth of 1-3 percent annually from existing contracts through inflation escalations and participating rents and additional growth from acquisitions. Based on low inflation and current production levels, we are not anticipating significant inflation-based or participating rents in 2017. Since qualifying as a REIT in 2013, we have grown our annualized dividend from $2.50 per share to $3.00 per share. Our management contract includes incentive provisions, aligning our leadership team with our stockholders' interests in raising the dividend only if we believe the rate is sustainable.

Recent Developments
Preferred Stock Offering
On April 18, 2017, we closed a follow-on, underwritten public offering of 2,800,000 depository shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $25.00 per depository share. On May 10, 2017, we sold an additional 150,000 depository shares at a price of $25.00 per depository share in connection with the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option to purchase additional shares. Proceeds from the offering were $71.2 million , after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. Following the offering, we have a total of 5,200,000 depository shares outstanding. Approximately $44.1 million of the proceeds from the offering were utilized to pay off the outstanding borrowings and accrued interest on the CorEnergy Revolver, creating additional availability under the CorEnergy Credit Facility.
Amendment and Restatement of CorEnergy Credit Facility
On July 28, 2017 , we entered into an amendment and restatement of the CorEnergy Credit Facility with Regions Bank (as lender and administrative agent for other participating lenders). The amended facility provides for commitments of up to $161.0 million , comprised of (i) increased commitments on the CorEnergy Revolver of up to $160.0 million , subject to borrowing base limitations, and (ii) a $1.0 million commitment on the MoGas Revolver. The amended facility has a 5-year term maturing on July 28, 2022 , and provides for a springing maturity on February 28, 2020, and thereafter, if we fail to meet certain liquidity requirements from the springing maturity date through the maturity of our convertible notes on June 15, 2020.
In connection with entering into the amended and restated facility, we used cash on hand and borrowings under the amended facility to repay the $33.5 million outstanding balance on the CorEnergy Term Loan on the prior facility.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc., as of June 30, 2017 , and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following tables summarize the financial data and key operating statistics for CorEnergy for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. We believe the Operating Results detail presented below provides investors with information that will assist them in analyzing the operating performance of our leased assets, financing notes receivable, other equity securities, and operating entities. The following data should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report. All information in Part I, Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," except for balance sheet data as of December 31, 2016, is unaudited.

Three Months Ended  June 30, 2017  Compared to the Three Months Ended  June 30, 2016
Revenue. Consolidated revenues were $21.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $22.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , representing a decrease of $235 thousand . Lease revenue was $17.0 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 with the slight increase of approximately $54 thousand driven by the annual CPI escalations pursuant to the Pinedale Lease Agreement. Transportation and distribution revenue from our subsidiaries MoGas and Omega was $4.8 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The $289 thousand decrease primarily resulted from the timing of projects performed by Omega for Fort Leonard Wood.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 . The most significant components of the variance from the prior-year period are outlined in the following table and explained below:

Management fees are directly proportional to our asset base. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 , management fees increased $194 thousand compared to the prior-year period due primarily to (i) the incentive fee for the second quarter 2016 being recorded in the third quarter 2016 and (ii) certain fluctuations in the asset base. See Part I, Item 1, Note 8 ("Management Agreement") for additional information.
Acquisition and professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $177 thousand from the prior-year period. An increase of $210 thousand in acquisition expenses was more than offset by a $387 thousand decrease in professional fees.
Generally, we expect asset acquisition expenses to be repaid over time from income generated by acquisitions. However, any particular period may reflect significant expenses arising from third party legal, engineering, and consulting fees that are incurred in the early to mid-stages of due diligence. Due to the uncertainty in the energy industry and the number of energy companies going through the bankruptcy process in 2016, the Company experienced lower asset acquisition costs. The increase in acquisition expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was the result of increased focus on potential acquisition opportunities in the current-year period.
The decrease in professional fees during the three months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily attributable to (i) reimbursement of legal fees received in the current-year period for costs incurred during UPL's bankruptcy as well as (ii) lower legal fees compared to the prior-year period due to fees incurred related to the assignment and modification of the Pinedale Credit Facility.
Other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $232 thousand compared to the prior-year period. The decrease is primarily related to (i) a non-cash gain recorded on a settlement of accounts payable in the current-year period and (ii) higher expenses at Black Bison in the prior-year period due to the foreclosure and sale activities.
Depreciation, Amortization and ARO Accretion Expense. Depreciation, amortization and ARO accretion expense was $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 . This increase was primarily related to depreciation expense, which increased $283 thousand from the three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2016 . The change in depreciation expense was driven by a reduction in the useful life of GIGS property to 26.5 years at the end of 2016.
Provision for loan loss and disposition. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 , we recorded a provision for loan losses of approximately $369 thousand . There were no loan loss provisions recorded in the second quarter of 2017. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1, Note 4 ("Financing Notes Receivable") .
Net Distributions and Dividend Income. Net distributions and dividend income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $221 thousand compared to $214 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2016 . The portion of distributions and dividends deemed to be income versus a return of capital in any period are made at the time such distributions are received. These estimates may be subsequently revised based on information received from the portfolio company after their tax reporting periods are concluded. The following table provides a reconciliation of the gross cash distributions and dividend income received from our investment securities during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 to the net distributions and dividends recorded as income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gain on Other Equity Securities. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 , net realized gain on other equity securities of $615 thousand decreased $585 thousand compared to the $1.2 million gain recorded the same period in 2016 . The decrease in the current year gain was primarily due to fluctuations in the valuation of Lightfoot, which is dependent on the public share price of ARCX. During the first quarter of 2016, WTI oil and natural gas prices bottomed and ARCX share prices declined $3.04 or 23.0 percent, but recovered $2.77 or 27.1 percent during the second quarter of 2016 causing the larger gain in the prior-year period.

31


Interest Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , interest expense totaled approximately $3.2 million and $3.5 million , respectively. This decrease was attributable to the payment of outstanding borrowings on the CorEnergy Revolver during the second quarter 2017, which resulted in a $291 thousand reduction in interest expense.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $96 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $410 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , representing a decrease of $315 thousand . The decrease was primarily attributable to lower taxable income at our TRS entities, largely driven by lower unrealized gains on our investment in Lightfoot in the current year period.
Net Income. Net income was $9.4 million and $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. For each of the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , net income attributable to CorEnergy stockholders was $9.0 million . After deducting $2.1 million and $1.0 million for the portion of preferred dividends that are allocable to each respective period, net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $6.9 million , or $0.58 per basic and diluted common share as compared to $7.9 million , or $0.66 per basic and diluted common share, for the prior-year period.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
Revenue. Consolidated revenues were $43.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $44.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , representing a decrease of $416 thousand . Lease revenue was $34.1 million and $34.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, resulting in an increase of $124 thousand . This increase in lease revenue was driven by annual CPI escalations pursuant to the Pinedale Lease Agreement. Transportation and distribution revenue from our subsidiaries MoGas and Omega was $9.8 million and $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The $378 thousand decrease primarily resulted from one month of natural gas revenues at Omega being presented on a gross basis in the prior-year period, prior to a new contract with the Department of Defense, which was effective February 1, 2016, whereby natural gas revenues and related costs are presented on a net basis.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 . The most significant components of the variance from the prior-year period are outlined in the following table and explained below:

Management fees are directly proportional to our asset base. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , management fees increased $174 thousand compared to the prior-year period due primarily to (i) the incentive fee for the second quarter 2016 being recorded in the third quarter 2016 and (ii) certain fluctuations in the asset base. See Part I, Item 1, Note 8 ("Management Agreement") for additional information.
Acquisition and professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $120 thousand from the prior-year period. An increase of $432 thousand in acquisition expenses was more than offset by a $552 thousand decrease in professional fees. Due to the uncertainty in the energy industry and the number of energy companies going through the bankruptcy process in 2016, the Company experienced lower asset acquisitions costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , asset acquisition expenses increased primarily due to increased focus on potential acquisition opportunities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the decrease in professional fees is primarily attributable to the reimbursement of legal fees received in the current-year period for costs incurred during UPL's bankruptcy. Other factors that caused the decrease include increased costs in the prior-year period related to (i) monitoring of our assets at Pinedale and GIGS during their respective bankruptcies; (ii) the Black Bison foreclosure and sale activities and (iii) expenses associated with the January 2016 Form S-3 Registration Statement.
Other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $497 thousand compared to the prior-year period. The decrease is primarily related to (i) a non-cash gain recorded on settlement of accounts payable in the current-year period and (ii) higher expenses at Black Bison due to the foreclosure and sale activities in the prior-year period.
Depreciation, Amortization and ARO Accretion Expense. Depreciation, amortization and ARO accretion expense was $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 . This increase was primarily related to depreciation expense, which increased $1.0 million from the six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months

32


ended June 30, 2016 . The change in depreciation expense was driven by (i) a reduction in the useful life of GIGS property to 26.5 years at the end of 2016 ($570 thousand) and (ii) a $433 thousand adjustment recorded in the prior-year period which reduced depreciation expense.
Provision for loan loss and disposition. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 , we recorded a provision for loan losses of approximately $5.0 million . The prior-year provision for loan losses related primarily to a write-down of $3.5 million on the SWD loans, with additional provisions recorded related to the Black Bison financing notes. There were no loan loss provisions recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2017 . For additional information, see Part I, Item 1, Note 4 ("Financing Notes Receivable") .
Net Distributions and Dividend Income. Net distributions and dividend income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $325 thousand from the six months ended June 30, 2016 . The decrease was primarily the result of adjustments recorded in the first quarter of each year upon the receipt of the annual K-1s, which depict our share of income and losses from the investment in the security. The portion of distributions and dividends deemed to be income versus a return of capital in any period are made at the time such distributions are received. These estimates may be subsequently revised based on information received from the portfolio company after their tax reporting periods are concluded. The following table provides a reconciliation of the gross cash distributions and dividend income received from our investment securities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 to the net distributions and dividends recorded as income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Other Equity Securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company recorded a net realized gain on other equity securities of $70 thousand , as compared to a net realized loss of $429 thousand in the prior-year period. The change is primarily due to prior-year period fluctuations in the valuation of Lightfoot, which is dependent on the public share price of ARCX. ARCX share price at June 30, 2016 was $13.00/share, a decrease of $0.27/share from December 31, 2015.
Interest Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , interest expense totaled approximately $6.7 million and $7.5 million , respectively. This decrease was primarily attributable to the Company internally refinancing its pro rata share of the Pinedale Credit Facility on March 30, 2016, which resulted in a reduction of the outstanding debt balance with third parties.
Income Tax Benefit. Income tax benefit was $237 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $845 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , representing a decrease of $608 thousand . The higher benefit in the prior year was primarily attributable to (i) unrealized losses related to our investment in Lightfoot and (ii) the loan loss provisions recorded in the prior-year period.
Net Income. Net income was $17.5 million and $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , net income attributable to CorEnergy stockholders was $16.7 million and $12.3 million , respectively. After deducting $3.2 million and $2.1 million for the portion of preferred dividends that are allocable to each respective period, net income attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $13.5 million , or $1.14 per basic and diluted common share compared to $10.3 million , or $0.86 per basic and diluted common share for the prior-year period.
Common Equity Attributable to CorEnergy Shareholders per Share
As of  June 30, 2017 , our common equity decreased by approximately $6.6 million to  $343.6 million from $350.2 million as of December 31, 2016 . This decrease principally consists of: (i) dividends paid to our shareholders of approximately $21.2 million, (ii) $2.6 million of offering costs related to the issuance of 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock, offset by (iii) net income attributable to CorEnergy common stockholders of approximately $16.7 million ; and (iv) $547 thousand of dividends issued under the DRIP or director's compensation plans.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We use certain financial measures that are not recognized under GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this Report include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as adjusted in the manner described below ("Adjusted EBITDA"); National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts funds from operations ("NAREIT FFO"); funds from operations adjusted for securities investments ("FFO"); and FFO as further adjusted in the manner described below ("AFFO"). These supplemental measures are used by our management team and are presented because we believe they help investors understand our business, performance and ability to earn and distribute cash to our stockholders by providing perspectives not immediately apparent from net income. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, NAREIT FFO, FFO and AFFO are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We offer these measures to assist the users of our financial statements in assessing our operating performance under U.S. GAAP, but these measures are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered measures of liquidity, alternatives to net income or indicators of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including capital expenditures (if any), to make payments on our indebtedness or to make distributions. Our method of calculating these measures may be different from methods used by other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures as calculated by other companies. Investors should not rely on these measures as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income, cash flows from operating activities or revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors and lenders may use to evaluate our ongoing operating results, including (i) the performance of our assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of our assets and (ii) the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA represents income attributable to common stockholders adjusted for net realized and unrealized (gain) loss on securities, non-cash; depreciation, amortization and ARO accretion; interest expense, net; provision for loan losses; and preferred dividend requirements, less distributions and dividends received in prior period previously deemed a return of capital (recorded as a cost reduction) and reclassified as income in a subsequent period; non-cash settlement of accounts payable; non-controlling interest attributable to depreciation, amortization and interest expense; and income tax (expense) benefit. Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of liquidity and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or other indicators of performance determined in accordance with GAAP.

(1)   We characterize distributions received from private investments estimated based on prior year activity. After receiving the K-1s, which depict our share of income and losses from the investment in the security, previously unrealized gains can be reclassified as dividend income.
(2) ARO accretion expense has no impact on non-controlling interest.
NAREIT FFO
FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income determined in accordance with GAAP. As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, NAREIT FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses of depreciable properties, real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs or loan origination costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and non-controlling interests. Adjustments for non-controlling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO attributable to common stockholders as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock. Our method of calculating FFO attributable to common shareholders may differ from methods used by other REITs and, as such, may not be comparable.
FFO ADJUSTED FOR SECURITIES INVESTMENTS (FFO)
Due to the legacy investments that we hold, we have also historically presented a measure of FFO, to which we refer herein as FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments which is derived by further adjusting NAREIT FFO for distributions received from investment securities, income tax expense (benefit) from investment securities, net distributions and dividend income and net realized and unrealized gain or loss on other equity securities.
We present NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is a key measure we use in assessing performance and in making resource allocation decisions.
Both NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions, and that may also be the case with certain of the energy infrastructure assets in which we invest. NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments exclude depreciation and amortization unique to real estate and gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items. As such, these performance measures provide a perspective not immediately apparent from net income when compared to prior-year periods. These metrics reflect the impact to operations from trends in base and participating rents, company operating costs, development activities, and interest costs.
We calculate NAREIT FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002) and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investment as NAREIT FFO with additional adjustments described above due to our legacy investments. This may

35


differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly may not be comparable to such other REITs. NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments do not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital for replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments, as we have historically reported, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our liquidity, or as an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions or to service our indebtedness.
AFFO
Management uses AFFO as a measure of long-term sustainable operational performance. AFFO in excess of dividends is used for debt repayment, capital reinvestment activities, funding our ARO liability, or other commitments and uncertainties which are necessary to sustain our dividend over the long term. Based on our current asset base, we target a ratio of AFFO to dividends of 1.5 times. We believe that this level of coverage provides a prudent reserve level to achieve dividend stability and growth over the long-term. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our financial performance, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our liquidity, or as an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions or service our indebtedness.
For completeness, the following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP and our calculations of NAREIT FFO, FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments, and AFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 . AFFO is a supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure which we define as FFO Adjusted for Securities Investment plus provision for loan losses, net of tax, transaction costs, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of deferred lease costs, accretion of asset retirement obligation, income tax expense (benefit) unrelated to securities investments, noncash costs associated with derivative instruments, and certain costs of a nonrecurring nature, less maintenance, capital expenditures (if any), amortization of debt premium, and other adjustments as deemed appropriate by Management. Also presented is information regarding the weighted-average number of shares of our common stock outstanding used for the computation of per share data:

SEASONALITY
Our operating companies, MoGas and Omega, have stable revenues throughout the year and will complete necessary pipeline maintenance during the "non-heating" season, or quarters two and three. Therefore, operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
ASSET PORTFOLIO AND RELATED DEVELOPMENTS
For detailed descriptions of our asset portfolio and related operations, other than our remaining private equity securities as of June 30, 2017 , please refer to Part I, Item 2 - "Properties" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,

37


2016 , and to Part I, Item 1, Note 3 ("Leased Properties And Leases") and Note 4 ("Financing Notes Receivable") included in this Report. This section provides additional information concerning material developments related to our asset portfolio that occurred during the period ended June 30, 2017 .
Grand Isle Gathering System
Following its emergence from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on December 30, 2016, EXXI announced the findings of its third-party independent reserve report, as well as its current development plan which is focused on the West Delta area. The company has also announced the implementation of additional strategic initiatives to lower its overhead costs and better align its operations with the current commodity environment and its production profile.
Pinedale LGS
UPL announced on April 12, 2017 its successful emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In support of its plan of reorganization, UPL raised $2.98 billion in exit financing. On April 13, 2017, Ultra Petroleum commenced trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "UPL". The company also released a revised drilling and completion outlook for 2017 and 2018 and has begun entering into hedging positions.
MoGas Pipeline

Effective March 1, 2017, MoGas entered into a long-term firm transportation services agreement with Laclede, its largest customer. The agreement, which amends a prior agreement, extends the termination date for Laclede’s existing firm transportation agreement from October 31, 2017 to October 31, 2030. During the entire extended term, Laclede will continue to reserve 62,800 dekatherms per day of firm transportation capacity on MoGas. This service will continue at the full tariff rate of $12.385 per dekatherm per month until October 31, 2018, at which time the rate will be reduced to $6.386 per dekatherm per month for the remainder of the agreement.
On April 1, 2017, MoGas Pipeline LLC commenced a non-binding open season to solicit interest in firm transportation contracts on a possible expansion project on its pipeline. Following the conclusion of its open season on June 30, 2017, MoGas Pipeline does not expect any immediate incremental revenue to result from the initiative, but MoGas continues to explore means to offset the decline in revenue from the amended Laclede contract. Such opportunities may include shippers transporting gas across MoGas to strike on Rockies, Mid-continent, Eastern and Gulf Coast basin basis differentials given its strategic location and numerous pipeline interconnects, new end-user customers, new cogeneration customers and increased capacity from existing shippers. In addition, MoGas has the right to request from FERC adjustments to its rates to mitigate the effect of higher operating costs or lost revenues by filing such a request any time MoGas deems necessary and appropriate.
Private Security Assets
Lightfoot
As of June 30, 2017 , our investment in Lightfoot represented approximately 1.4 percent of our total assets. The fair value of Lightfoot at June 30, 2017 was $9.1 million , as compared to the fair value at December 31, 2016 of $9.3 million , representing a decrease of approximately $140 thousand , or 1.5 percent. The decrease was primarily due to distributions received, partially offset by unrealized gains associated with an increase in the share price of ARCX.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , we received distributions of $217 thousand and $436 thousand , respectively, and expect these distributions to be funded primarily by Lightfoot’s distributions from Arc Logistics and Gulf LNG. However, both the ability of Arc Logistics and Gulf LNG to make quarterly distributions and the amount of such distributions will be dependent on Arc Logistics' and Gulf LNG's business results, and neither Arc Logistics, Gulf LNG, nor Lightfoot is under any obligation to make such distributions. On March 1, 2016, an affiliate of Gulf LNG received a Notice of Disagreement and Disputed Statements and a Notice of Arbitration from Eni USA Gas Marketing L.L.C ("Eni USA"), one of the two companies that had entered into a terminal use agreement for capacity of the liquefied natural gas facility owned by Gulf LNG and its subsidiaries. Should Eni USA terminate its agreement with Gulf LNG, this could materially impact Arc Logistics and Gulf LNG's ability to fund their distributions to us. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our expectations concerning 2017 distributions from Lightfoot will be realized.
FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXATION
In 2013 we qualified, and in March 2014 elected (effective as of January 1, 2013), to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes (which we refer to as the "REIT Election"). Because certain of our assets may not produce REIT-qualifying income or be treated as interests in real property, those assets are held in wholly-owned TRSs in order to limit the potential that such assets and income could prevent us from qualifying as a REIT.

38


For the years ended in 2012 and before, the distributions we made to our stockholders from our earnings and profits were treated as qualified dividend income ("QDI") and return of capital. QDI is taxed to our individual shareholders at the maximum rate for long-term capital gains, which through tax year 2012 was 15 percent and beginning in tax year 2013 is 20 percent . We elected to be taxed as a REIT for 2013 and subsequent years rather than a C corporation and generally will not pay federal income tax on taxable income of the REIT that is distributed to our stockholders. As a REIT, our distributions from earnings and profits will be treated as ordinary income and a return of capital, and generally will not qualify as QDI. To the extent that the REIT had accumulated C corporation earnings and profits from the periods prior to 2013, we distributed such earnings and profits in 2013. A portion of our normal distributions in 2013 have been characterized for federal income tax purposes as a distribution of those earnings and profits from non-REIT years and have been treated as QDI. In addition, to the extent we receive taxable distributions from our TRSs, or the REIT received distributions of C corporation earnings and profits, such portion of our distribution will be treated as QDI.
As a REIT, we hold and operate certain of our assets through one or more wholly-owned TRSs. Our use of TRSs enables us to continue to engage in certain businesses while complying with REIT qualification requirements and also allows us to retain income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement of distributing those earnings. In the future, we may elect to reorganize and transfer certain assets or operations from our TRSs to us or other subsidiaries, including qualified REIT subsidiaries.
Our equity securities are limited partnerships or limited liability companies which are treated as partnerships for federal and state income tax purposes. As a limited partner, we report our allocable share of taxable income in computing our taxable income. To the extent held by a TRS, the TRS's tax expense or benefit is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income based on the component of income or gains and losses to which such expense or benefit relates. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.
If we cease to qualify as a REIT, we, as a C corporation, would be obligated to pay federal and state income tax on our taxable income. Currently, the highest regular marginal federal income tax rate for a corporation is 35 percent. We may be subject to a 20 percent federal alternative minimum tax on our federal alternative minimum taxable income to the extent that our alternative minimum tax exceeds our regular federal income tax.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
At June 30, 2017 , we had liquidity of approximately $135.4 million comprised of cash of $37.3 million plus revolver availability of $98.2 million . During the second quarter of 2017, our liquidity was enhanced through closing a follow-on offering of our Series A Preferred Stock and the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option, respectively, which together generated proceeds of approximately $71.2 million after deducting underwriter discounts and other offering expenses. Approximately $44.1 million of the proceeds from the offering were utilized to pay off the outstanding borrowings and accrued interest on the CorEnergy Revolver.
Subsequent to quarter end, our liquidity was further enhanced through the amendment and restatement of our CorEnergy Credit Facility on July 28, 2017 . Commitments on the CorEnergy Revolver were increased from $105.0 million to $160.0 million under the new facility, subject to borrowing base limitations. In connection with entering into the new facility, we utilized cash on hand and revolver borrowings of $10.0 million to repay the balance outstanding on the CorEnergy Term Loan. See further discussion of the amended and restated facility below under "Revolving and Term Credit Facilities - CorEnergy Credit Facility". As of July 31, 2017, we had liquidity of approximately $146.7 million , comprised of cash of $15.2 million and revolver availability under the amended and restated facility of $131.5 million .
We use cash flows generated from our operations to fund current obligations, projected working capital requirements, debt service payments and dividend payments. Management expects that future operating cash flows, along with access to financial markets, will be sufficient to meet future operating requirements and acquisition opportunities. If our ability to access the capital markets is restricted or if debt or equity capital were unavailable on favorable terms, or at all, our ability to fund acquisition opportunities or to comply with the REIT distribution rules could be adversely affected.
There are acquisition opportunities that are in preliminary stages of review, and consummation of any of these opportunities depends on a number of factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that any of these acquisition opportunities will result in consummated transactions. As part of our disciplined investment philosophy, we plan to use a moderate level of leverage, approximately 25 percent to 50 percent of assets, supplemented with accretive equity issuance as needed, subject to current market conditions. We may invest in assets subject to greater leverage which could be both recourse and non-recourse to us.

Revolving and Term Credit Facilities
CorEnergy Credit Facility
Under the terms of the amended and restated CorEnegy Credit Facility, we are subject to certain financial covenants as follows: (i) a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0; (ii) a maximum total leverage ratio of 5.0 to 1.0; (iii) a maximum senior secured recourse leverage ratio (which generally excludes debt from Unrestricted Subs) of 3.0 to 1.0.; and (iv) a maximum total funded debt to capitalization ratio of 50 percent. Effective September 30, 2015, the CorEnergy Revolver was amended to clarify that the covenant related to our ability to make distributions is tied to AFFO and applicable REIT distribution requirements, and provides that, in the absence of any acceleration of maturity following an Event of Default, we may make distributions equal to the greater of the amount required to maintain our REIT status and 100 percent of AFFO for the trailing 12-month period. We

40


were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2017 and had approximately $98.2 million of available borrowing capacity on the CorEnergy Revolver.
On July 28, 2017 , we entered into an amended and restated CorEnergy Credit Facility with Regions Bank (as lender and administrative agent for other participating lenders). The amended facility provides for commitments of up to $161.0 million , comprised of (i) increased commitments on the CorEnergy Revolver of up to $160.0 million , subject to borrowing base limitations, and (ii) a $1.0 million commitment on the MoGas Revolver. The amended facility has a 5-year term maturing on July 28, 2022 , and provides for a springing maturity on February 28, 2020, and thereafter, if the Company fails to meet certain liquidity requirements from the springing maturity date through the maturity of the Company's convertible notes on June 15, 2020.
Other terms of the amended and restated CorEnergy Credit Facility are substantially the same as the prior facility. Borrowings under the credit facility will generally bear interest on the outstanding principal amount using a LIBOR pricing grid that is expected to equal a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75 percent  to  3.75 percent , based on the Company's senior secured recourse leverage ratio. The facility contains, among other restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain financial ratios, as well as default and cross-default provisions customary for transactions of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods), all of which are substantially the same as under the prior facility.
In connection with entering into the amended and restated facility, we used cash on hand and borrowings under the amended facility to repay the $33.5 million outstanding balance on the CorEnergy Term Loan on the prior facility. As of July 31, 2017, we had $131.5 million of availability under the amended and restated CorEnergy Revolver.
For a summary of the additional material terms of the CorEnergy Credit Facility, please see Part IV, Item 15, Note 12 ("Credit Facilities") included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , and Part I, Item 1, Note 10 ("Debt") included in this Report.
Pinedale Credit Facility
On March 30, 2016, we and Prudential, as the Refinancing Lenders, and in proportion to our pro rata equity interests in Pinedale LP, refinanced the Pinedale Credit Facility and executed a series of agreements assigning the credit facility to CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. as Agent for the Refinancing Lenders. As part of the refinancing, we terminated one of the derivative contracts, representing half of the amount hedged. The remaining derivative with a notional amount of $26.3 million was de-designated from hedge accounting. The Pinedale Credit Facility is subject to (i) a minimum interest rate coverage ratio of 5.5 to 1.0; (ii) a maximum leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1.0; and (iii) a minimum net worth of $115.0 million, each measured at the Pinedale LP level and not at the Company level. As a result of the March 30, 2016 refinancing, the minimum interest coverage ratio was amended to a ratio of 3.0 to 1.0. We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2017 .
For a summary of the additional material terms and the refinancing of the Pinedale Credit Facility, please see Part IV, Item 15, Note 12 ("Credit Facilities") included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , and Part I, Item 1, Note 10 ("Debt") included in this Report.
Convertible Notes
As of June 30, 2017 , we had $114.0 million of face value of the Convertible Notes outstanding. Refer to Part IV, Item 15, Note 13 ("Convertible Debt") included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and Part I, Item 1, Note 10 ("Debt") included in this Report for additional information concerning the Convertible Notes.
MoGas Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2017 , the co-borrowers were in compliance with all covenants and there have been no borrowings against the MoGas Revolver. On July 28, 2017 , the terms of the MoGas Revolver were amended and restated in connection with the CorEnergy Credit Facility, as discussed above. As a result, commitments under the MoGas Revolver were reduced to $1.0 million .
Mowood/Omega Revolver
The Mowood/Omega Revolver is used by Omega for working capital and general business purposes and is guaranteed and secured by the assets of Omega. On July 31, 2017, the previous maturity date of July 31, 2017 was amended and extended to July 31, 2018. Interest accrues at LIBOR plus 4 percent and is payable monthly in arrears with no unused fee. There was no outstanding balance at June 30, 2017 .

41


Equity Offerings
On February 18, 2016, we had a new shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC, pursuant to which we may publicly offer additional debt or equity securities with an aggregate offering price of up to $600.0 million .
As of June 30, 2017 , we have issued 49,164 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to the February 18, 2016 shelf, reducing availability by approximately $1.3 million . Shelf availability was further reduced by approximately $73.8 million as a result of the follow-on offering of additional 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock during the second quarter of 2017. As of June 30, 2017, availability on the current shelf registration is approximately $524.9 million .
Liquidity and Capitalization
Our principal investing activities are acquiring and financing real estate assets within the U.S. energy infrastructure sector and concurrently entering into long-term triple-net participating leases with energy companies. These investing activities have generally been financed from the proceeds of our public equity and debt offerings as well as the term and credit facilities mentioned above. Continued growth of our asset portfolio will depend in part on our continued ability to access funds through additional borrowings and securities offerings.

We also have two lines of credit for working capital purposes for two of our subsidiaries with maximum availability of $3.0 million and $1.5 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .
As discussed above, on July 28, 2017 we entered into an amendment and restatement of our CorEnergy Credit Facility. As of July 31, 2017, we had liquidity of approximately $146.7 million , comprised of cash of $15.2 million and revolver availability under the amended and restated facility of $131.5 million .
Additionally, we are exploring options which may be available to refinance the Pinedale Credit Facility with third-party lenders, and expect that a refinancing of the facility may be consummated during the second half of 2017. If completed, such a refinancing transaction would provide increased liquidity based on our pro rata portion of the refinancing proceeds.

(1) The amounts of Pinedale LP debt above represent Prudential's share of the principal and interest payments which is 18.95 percent of the total. Our share of the principal and interest are eliminated in consolidation as these became intercompany on March 30, 2016, due to CorEnergy taking over with Prudential as Refinancing Lenders on the Pinedale LP note. See Part I, Item 1, Note 10 ("Debt") for further information.
(2) The amount shown as the Notional Value for the CorEnergy Term Note represents the outstanding principal balance at June 30, 2017.
Fees paid to Corridor under the Management Agreement and the Administrative Agreement are not included because they vary as a function of the value of our total asset base. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1, Note 8 ("Management Agreement") included in this Report.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have, and are not expected to have, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
MAJOR TENANTS
As of June 30, 2017 , we had three significant leases. For additional information concerning each of these leases, see Part I, Item 1, Note 3 ("Leased Properties And Leases") included in this Report.
DIVIDENDS
Our portfolio of real property assets, promissory notes, and investment securities generates cash flow to us from which we pay distributions to stockholders. For the period ended June 30, 2017 , the sources of our stockholder distributions include lease revenue, transportation and distribution revenue from our real property assets, and distributions from our investment securities. Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and distributions to preferred stockholders are recorded when declared by the Board of Directors. The characterization of any distribution for federal income tax purposes will not be determined until after the end of the taxable year.
On February 28, 2017, we paid 2016 fourth quarter dividends of $0.75 per share of common stock and $0.4609375 per depositary share for our 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock.

On May 31, 2017, we paid 2017 first quarter dividends of $0.75 per share of common stock and $0.4609375 per depositary share for our 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock.
On August 1, 2017, our Board of Directors declared 2017 second quarter dividends of  $0.75  per share of common stock and $0.4609375 per depositary share for our 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock payable on August 31, 2017.
A REIT is generally required to distribute during the taxable year an amount equal to at least 90 percent of the REIT taxable income (determined under Internal Revenue Code section 857(b)(2), without regard to the deduction for dividends paid). We intend to adhere to this requirement in order to maintain our REIT status. The Board of Directors will continue to determine the amount of any distribution that we expect to pay our stockholders.
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND DEFLATION
Deflation can result in a decline in general price levels, often caused by a decrease in the supply of money or credit. The predominant effects of deflation are high unemployment, credit contraction, and weakened consumer demand. Restricted lending practices could impact our ability to obtain financings or to refinance our properties and our tenants' ability to obtain credit. During inflationary

43


periods, we intend for substantially all of our tenant leases to be designed to mitigate the impact of inflation. Generally, our leases include rent escalators that are based on the CPI, or other agreed upon metrics that increase with inflation.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The financial statements included in this Report are based on the selection and application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, recognition of distribution income, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A discussion of our critical accounting estimates is presented under the heading "Critical Accounting Estimates" in Part II, Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , as previously filed with the SEC. No material modifications have been made to our critical accounting estimates.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our business activities contain elements of market risk. We consider fluctuations in the value of our securities portfolio and fluctuations in interest rates to be our principal market risks. As of June 30, 2017 , there were no material changes to our market risk exposure as compared to the end of our preceding fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 .
As of June 30, 2017 , the fair value of our securities portfolio (excluding short-term investments) totaled approximately $9.1 million . We estimate that the impact of a 10 percent increase or decrease in the fair value of these securities, net of related deferred taxes, would increase or decrease net assets applicable to common shareholders by approximately $560 thousand . The fair value of securities is determined using readily available market quotations from the principal market, if available. Because there are no readily available market quotations for many of the securities in our portfolio, we value our securities at fair value as determined in good faith under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process, which has been approved by our Board of Directors. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of securities that do not have readily available market quotations, the fair value of our securities may differ significantly from the fair values that would have been used had a ready market quotation existed for such securities, and these differences could be material.
Long-term debt used to finance our acquisitions may be based on floating or fixed rates. As of June 30, 2017 , we had $145.5 million in long-term debt (net of current maturities). We use interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including forward interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate forward curves. Changes in interest rates can cause interest charges to fluctuate on that portion of our variable rate debt which is not hedged.
Variable rate debt as of June 30, 2017 was $7.7 million under the Pinedale facility and $33.5 million under the CorEnergy Term Note. These variable rate debt instruments total $15.0 million of variable rate debt after giving effect to our $26.3 million interest rate swap at June 30, 2017 . A 100 basis point increase or decrease in current LIBOR rates would result in a $216 thousand increase or decrease of interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 . As of June 30, 2017 , the fair value of our interest rate swap derivative asset totaled approximately $44 thousand . We estimate that the impact of a 100 basis point increase in the one-month LIBOR rate would increase the value of the interest rate swap by $110 thousand , while a decrease of 100 basis points would decrease the value of the interest rate swap by $111 thousand as of June 30, 2017 .
We consider the management of risk essential to conducting our businesses. Accordingly, our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risks, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer (our principal executive and principal financial officers, respectively), we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, these officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that occurred during the quarterly period ending June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

45


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results. Those risk factors continue to be relevant to an understanding of our business, financial condition, and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 . There have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , we did not sell any securities that were not registered under the 1933 Act, nor did we repurchase any equity securities of the Company.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
Given the timing of the event, the following information is included in this Form 10-Q pursuant to Item 1.01 "Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement" and Item 2.03 "Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant" of Form 8-K, in lieu of filing a separate Form 8-K.
As previously announced, the Company entered into a $105.0 million revolving credit facility pursuant to an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated July 8, 2015, as amended by a certain First Amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement dated November 4, 2015 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"), with Regions Bank as administrative agent. The purpose of the credit facility was to fund general corporate needs and, if elected, to provide short-term financing for the acquisition of additional assets. The Company also previously announced that, in conjunction with the November 4, 2015 amendment to the Credit Agreement, Regions Bank and the other participating lenders made available to the Company a term loan facility in the amount of $45.0 million (the "Term Loan"), the full amount of which was simultaneously drawn and utilized to pay down the then-outstanding balance on the revolver.
On July 28, 2017, the Company, as borrower, and Regions Bank, as a lender and as administrative agent for the other lenders participating therein, agreed to amend the Credit Agreement by entering into a Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, which effected a restatement of the Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"), to increase the size of the revolving credit facility to $160.0 million (the "Credit Facility"), subject to borrowing base limitations. On the date thereof, the Company simultaneously borrowed $10.0 million under the Credit Facility, which was utilized, with cash on hand, to pay down the outstanding balance of the Term Loan. The Credit Facility will continue to be used to fund general corporate needs and, if elected, to provide short-term financing for the acquisition of additional assets.
Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Credit Facility will mature on July 28, 2022, or on an earlier "Springing Maturity Date" (the first date on or after February 28, 2020 that both (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) exceeds $28,750,000 and (ii) Borrower's unrestricted cash liquidity (including, for purposes of this definition, the undrawn portion of the borrowing base that is then available for borrowing) is less than the sum of (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes plus (y) $5,000,000)).
The Credit Facility shall, at the option of the Company, bear interest at either (a) LIBOR plus a spread of 275 to 375 basis points, or (b) a rate equal to the higher of (i) the prime rate established by Regions Bank, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or (iii) the LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, plus a spread of 150 to 250 basis points. The applicable spread for each interest rate is based on the

46


Company's Senior Secured Recourse Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Credit Facility is also subject to an unused facility fee at the rate of 0.50% per annum times the amount by which total availability exceeds outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, calculated and payable on a quarterly basis.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains, among other restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains default and cross-default provisions customary for transactions of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, payment of all amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall become immediately due and payable.
A copy of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.20.6 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in this report is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.20.6.

CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc.

Kansas City, Missouri 64106
Re:     Incentive Fee Under Management Agreement for CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain Management Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2015 and effective as of May 1, 2015, by and between CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “ Company ”), and Corridor InfraTrust Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Manager ”) (as such agreement has been, and may be further, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Management Agreement ”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein are used as defined in the Management Agreement. The Company and the Manager have entered into this Letter Agreement to waive a portion of the Incentive Fee set forth in Section 8(b) of the Management Agreement applicable to the dividend paid during the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2017. This letter in no way supersedes our May 9, 2016 letter agreement (effective March 31, 2016) concerning the Management Fee calculation.
This letter documents that the Manager has recommended, and the Company has agreed, that the Manager shall only be paid an Incentive Fee of $144,142 as a result of the dividend paid during the Company’s June 30, 2017 calendar quarter. This agreed upon incentive fee payment constitutes a waiver by the Manager of $4,534 of the Incentive Fee that would otherwise be due to the Manager from the Company.
The foregoing waiver shall not apply to any prior or future periods, although the Manager reserves the right to waive in the future any Incentive Fee payment to which it may be entitled for one or more future fiscal quarters of the Company.
The Company and the Manager mutually acknowledge and agree that this modification to the Incentive Fee payment right represents a discretionary action on the part of the Manager that is not required under the terms of the Management Agreement and that, except as specifically set forth herein, and as modified in our prior May 9, 2016 letter agreement concerning the Management Fee calculation, all provisions of the Management Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by this letter.

Upon receipt from each Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §10 (in the case of Revolving Loans to be made on the Closing Date only) and §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, Agent will make available to Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans made available to Agent by Lenders by crediting such amount to the Advance Account. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Percentage of the requested Revolving Loans shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Percentage of any requested Revolving Loans, including any additional Revolving Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds

If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon Agent’s demand therefor, Agent will promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to Agent. Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from Borrower at the applicable rate for such Revolving Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

obligation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary incurred in the ordinary course of business that does not constitute Indebtedness);

§2.11      Requesting Letters of Credit .
(a)      Borrower must make written application for any Letter of Credit or amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit at least 5 Business Days (or such shorter period as

41

Exhibit 10.20.6

LC Issuer may in its discretion from time to time agree) before the date on which Borrower desires for LC Issuer to issue such Letter of Credit and such Letter of Credit will be issued on the issue date requested by Borrower provided the LC Conditions for such Letter of Credit have been met as described in §2.10 at least two Business Days prior to such requested issue date as provided in §2.11(b).

(b)      Two Business Days after the LC Conditions for a Letter of Credit have been met as described in §2.10 (or if LC Issuer otherwise desires to issue such Letter of Credit earlier), LC Issuer will issue such Letter of Credit at LC Issuer’s office in Miami, Florida. If any provisions of any LC Application conflict with any provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify LC Issuer.
(c)      Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of Borrower, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse LC Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of such Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrower, and that Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(d)      Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by LC Issuer and Borrower, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.
(e)      Unless otherwise agreed by Agent, each LC Issuer shall report in writing to Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which such LC Issuer issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the currencies and face amounts of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), it being understood that such LC Issuer shall not effect any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit issued by it without first obtaining written confirmation from Agent that such increase is then permitted under this Agreement, (ii) on each Business Day on which such LC Issuer makes any payment under any draw made under any Letter of Credit, the date, currency and amount of such payment, (iii) on any Business Day on which Borrower fails to reimburse any Matured LC

42

Exhibit 10.20.6

Obligation required to be reimbursed to such LC Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the currency and amount of such Matured LC Obligation, and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as Agent shall reasonably request as the Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer.
§2.12      Reimbursement and Participations .
(a)      Reimbursement by Borrower . Each Matured LC Obligation shall constitute a loan by LC Issuer to Borrower. Borrower promises to pay to LC Issuer, or to LC Issuer’s order, on demand, the full amount of each Matured LC Obligation, together with interest thereon (i) at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans to and including the first Business Day after such demand is made by LC Issuer and (ii) at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans on each day thereafter. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse LC Issuer for each Matured LC Obligation shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including any LC Application) under all circumstances, including the following: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), LC Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; (iv) any payment by LC Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that the absolute and unconditional nature of Borrower’s obligations under this section to reimburse LC Issuer for each drawing under a Letter of Credit will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of LC Issuer. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse LC Issuer from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements) suffered by Borrower that are caused by LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.
(b)      Letter of Credit Advances . If the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit makes a draft or other demand for payment thereunder then Borrower may, during the interval between the making thereof and the honoring thereof by LC Issuer, request Lenders to make Loans to

43

Exhibit 10.20.6

Borrower in the amount of such draft or demand, which Loans shall be made concurrently with LC Issuer’s payment of such draft or demand and shall be immediately used by LC Issuer to repay the amount of the resulting Matured LC Obligation. Such a request by Borrower shall be made in compliance with all of the provisions hereof, provided that for the purposes of the first sentence of §2.1, the amount of such Loans shall be considered, but the amount of the Matured LC Obligation to be concurrently paid by such Loans shall not be considered.
(c)      Participation by Lenders . LC Issuer irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Lender, and, to induce LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from LC Issuer, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated and for such Lender’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such Lender’s Percentage of LC Issuer’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each Matured LC Obligation paid by LC Issuer thereunder. Each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with LC Issuer that, if a Matured LC Obligation is paid under any Letter of Credit for which LC Issuer is not reimbursed in full by Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the related LC Application (including any reimbursement by means of concurrent Loans or by the application of Cash Collateral), such Lender shall (in all circumstances and without set-off or counterclaim) pay to LC Issuer on demand (and Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose), in immediately available funds at LC Issuer’s address for notices hereunder, such Lender’s Percentage of such Matured LC Obligation (or any portion thereof that has not been reimbursed by Borrower). Each Lender’s obligation to pay LC Issuer pursuant to the terms of this subsection is irrevocable and unconditional. If any amount required to be paid by any Lender to LC Issuer pursuant to this subsection is paid by such Lender to LC Issuer within 3 Business Days after the date such payment is due, LC Issuer shall in addition to such amount be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If any amount required to be paid by any Lender to LC Issuer pursuant to this subsection is not paid by such Lender to LC Issuer within 3 Business Days after the date such payment is due, LC Issuer shall in addition to such amount be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.
(d)      Distributions to Participants . Whenever LC Issuer has in accordance with this section received from any Lender payment of such Lender’s Percentage of any Matured LC Obligation, if LC Issuer thereafter receives any payment of such Matured LC Obligation or any payment of interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower or by application of Cash Collateral or otherwise, and excluding only interest for any period prior to LC Issuer’s demand that such Lender make such payment of its Percentage), LC Issuer will distribute to such Lender its Percentage of the amounts so received by LC Issuer; provided, however, that if any such payment received by LC Issuer must thereafter be returned by LC Issuer, such Lender shall return to LC Issuer the portion thereof that LC Issuer has previously distributed to it.

44

Exhibit 10.20.6

(e)      Calculations . A written advice setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts owing under this section, submitted by LC Issuer to Borrower or any Lender from time to time, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amounts thereof.
§2.13      Letter of Credit Fees .
In consideration of LC Issuer’s issuance of any Letter of Credit, Borrower agrees to pay (a) to Agent, for the account of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages, a letter of credit issuance fee at a rate equal to the Letter of Credit Fee Rate then in effect (which fee shall be increased by 2.0% per annum during any period in which interest on the Loans accrues at the Default Rate), and (b) unless Regions is the sole Lender, to LC Issuer for its own account, a letter of credit fronting fee at a rate equal to 0.250% per annum times the face amount of such Letter of Credit (but in no event less than $500 per annum); provided, however, any Letter of Credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to LC Issuer pursuant to §2.10 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Requirements, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to §14.5(e), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to LC Issuer for its own account. In addition, Borrower will pay to LC Issuer, LC Issuer’s customary fees for issuance, amendment and drawing of each Letter of Credit. The letter of credit fee and the letter of credit fronting fee will be calculated on the undrawn face amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding on each day at the above-applicable rates and will be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Maturity Date.
§2.14      No Duty to Inquire .
(a)      Drafts and Demands . LC Issuer is authorized and instructed to accept and pay drafts and demands for payment under any Letter of Credit without requiring, and without responsibility for, any determination as to the existence of any event giving rise to said draft, either at the time of acceptance or payment or thereafter. LC Issuer is under no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone presenting such a draft or making such a demand (whether by tested telex or otherwise) as the officer, representative or agent of any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, and payment by LC Issuer to any such beneficiary when requested by any such purported officer, representative or agent is hereby authorized and approved. LC Issuer shall have the right, in its discretion, to decline to accept documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. Borrower releases each Lender Party from, and agrees to hold each Lender Party harmless and indemnified against, any liability or claim in connection with or arising out of the subject matter of this section, which indemnity shall apply whether or not any such liability or claim is in any way or to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent act or omission of any kind by any Lender Party, provided only that no Lender Party shall be released from or entitled to indemnification for that portion, if any, of any liability

45

Exhibit 10.20.6

or claim that is proximately caused by or results from its own individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment.
(b)      Extension of Maturity . If the maturity of any Letter of Credit is extended by its terms or by Requirements or governmental action, if any extension of the maturity or time for presentation of drafts or any other modification of the terms of any Letter of Credit is made at the request of any Loan Party, or if the amount of any Letter of Credit is increased at the request of any Loan Party, this Agreement shall be binding upon all Loan Parties with respect to such Letter of Credit as so extended, increased or otherwise modified, with respect to drafts and property covered thereby, and with respect to any action taken by LC Issuer, LC Issuer’s correspondents, or any Lender Party in accordance with such extension, increase or other modification.
(c)      Transferees of Letters of Credit . If any Letter of Credit provides that it is transferable, LC Issuer shall have no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone appearing as transferee of such Letter of Credit, nor shall LC Issuer be charged with responsibility of any nature or character for the validity or correctness of any transfer or successive transfers, and payment by LC Issuer to any purported transferee or transferees as determined by LC Issuer is hereby authorized and approved, and Borrower releases each Lender Party from, and agrees to hold each Lender Party harmless and indemnified against, any liability or claim in connection with or arising out of the foregoing, which indemnity shall apply whether or not any such liability or claim is in any way or to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent act or omission of any kind by any Lender Party, provided only that no Lender Party shall be released from or entitled to indemnification for that portion, if any, of any liability or claim that is proximately caused by or results from its own individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment.
§2.15      Cash Collateral .
(a)      Certain Credit Support Events . Upon the request of Agent or LC Issuer (i) if LC Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a Matured LC Obligation that has not been reimbursed pursuant to §2.12, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Termination Date, any LC Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all LC Obligations. If, after the making of all mandatory prepayments required under §3.2, the outstanding LC Obligations will exceed (x) the Borrowing Base minus (y) the outstanding principal amount of the loans under the MGP/UPS Credit Facility, then in addition to prepayment of the entire principal balance of the Loans required under §3.2, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding LC Obligations in an amount equal to such excess. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of Agent, Swing Line Lender or LC Issuer, Borrower shall deliver Cash Collateral to Agent in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure allocable to such Defaulting Lender (after giving effect to §14.5(e) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

46

Exhibit 10.20.6

(b)      Grant of Security Interest . All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at Agent. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) Agent, for the benefit of Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders (including Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to §2.15(c). If at any time Agent reasonably determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by Agent, pay or provide to Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
(c)      Application . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this §2.15 or §2.16, or §§3.2, 2.10, 14.5, or 12.5 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific LC Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(d)      Release . Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other conditions giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with §18); provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this §2.15 may be otherwise applied during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance with §12.5), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
§2.16      Swing Line Loans .
(a)      Swing Line . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender, in its discretion and in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this §2.16, may make loans (herein called “ Swing Line Loans ”) to Borrower from time to time between the Closing Date and the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with Swing Line Lender’s Percentage of the outstanding principal balance of Swing

47

Exhibit 10.20.6

Line Lender’s Revolving Loans and LC Obligations, may exceed the amount of Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Commitment, provided that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Swing Line Loans does not exceed the Swing Line Sublimit, and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit does not exceed the lesser of (A) the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all of Lenders and (B)(1) the Borrowing Base at such time minus (2) the outstanding principal amount of the loans under the MGP/UPS Credit Facility. Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow under this §2.16, prepay under §§3.2 and 3.3, and reborrow under this §2.16. The obligation of Borrower to repay to Swing Line Lender the aggregate amount of all Swing Line Loans made by Swing Line Lender, together with interest accruing in connection therewith, shall be evidenced by a Note made by Borrower payable to Swing Line Lender in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto (such notes and any substitute or replacement notes therefor, the “ Swing Line Notes ”). Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on each day outstanding at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Spread applicable to Revolving Loans in effect on such day. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b)      Borrowing Procedures . Each Swing Line Loan shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Swing Line Lender and Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such telephonic request shall be deemed a representation, warranty, acknowledgment and agreement by Borrower as to the matters that are required to be set out in a written Request for Swing Line Loan. Each such notice must be received by Swing Line Lender and Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the day on which any such Swing Line Loan is to be made, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Swing Line Lender and Agent of a written notice in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto) of the Swing Line Loan (the “ Swing Line Loan Request ”), appropriately completed and signed by an authorized officer of Borrower. Promptly after receipt by Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Request, Swing Line Lender will confirm with Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Request and, if not, Swing Line Lender will notify Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Loan (i) directing Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of §2.16(a), or (ii) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in §11 is not then satisfied, then, subject

48

Exhibit 10.20.6

to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender will promptly make such Swing Line Loan available to Borrower.
(c)      Refinancing of Swing Line Loans . (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its discretion may request, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Request for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of §2.5 and §2.6, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in §2.5 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in §11. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Request promptly after delivering such notice to Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Request available to Agent in immediately available funds (and Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of Swing Line Lender at Agent’s office promptly on the day specified in such Loan Request, whereupon, subject to §2.16(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount. Agent shall remit the funds so received to Swing Line Lender.
(ii)    If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in accordance with §2.16(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender pursuant to §2.16(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii)    If any Lender fails to make available to Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this §2.16(c) by the time specified in §2.16(c)(i), Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Loan or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)    Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this §2.16(c) shall be absolute and

49

Exhibit 10.20.6

unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this §2.16(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in §11. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d)      Repayment of Participations . (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by Swing Line Lender.
(ii)    If any payment received by Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by Swing Line Lender under any circumstances (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Swing Line Lender its Percentage thereof on demand of Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. Agent will make such demand upon the request of Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e)      Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender . The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this §2.16 to refinance such Lender’s Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Percentage shall be solely for the account of Swing Line Lender. On each Interest Payment Date relating to Base Rate Loans, Borrower shall pay to Swing Line Lender all unpaid interest that has accrued on the Swing Line Loans to but not including such date.
(f)      Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender . Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to Swing Line Lender.
§3.      REPAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE LOANS
§3.1      Revolving Loan Maturity .
Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, all Outstanding Loans, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other Outstanding Obligations on such date.

50

Exhibit 10.20.6

§3.2      Mandatory Prepayments .
Revolving Loans Exceed Revolving Commitments or Borrowing Base . If at any time (i) the aggregate Outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments, or (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit exceed (A) the Borrowing Base minus (B) the outstanding principal amount of the loans under the MGP/UPS Credit Facility, then Borrower shall pay within five (5) Business Days of written demand from Agent the amount of such excess to Agent for the respective accounts of Lenders, as applicable, first , for application to any Outstanding Swing Line Loans, second , for application to any Outstanding Revolving Loans, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, and after all Loans are repaid in full, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations in accordance with §2.15 in an amount equal to such excess; provided however that until such time as Borrower has paid (or Cash Collateralized) such amounts to Agent for the respective accounts of the appropriate Lenders pursuant to the preceding clause, Lenders shall have no obligation to make additional funds available to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and LC Issuer shall have no obligation to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement.
§3.3      Optional Prepayments .
Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium, provided that if any full or partial prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such payment shall be accompanied by the amount payable pursuant to §4.8. Borrower shall give Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Houston time, at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of payment of Loans and the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid. Notice of prepayment, once given, shall be irrevocable, and such amount shall become due and payable on the specified prepayment date.
§3.4      Partial Prepayments .
Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 (or $100,000 with respect to Swing Line Loans) or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (unless the Loan is being prepaid in full), and each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment and, after payment of such interest, shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by Borrower, first to the principal of Swing Line Loans, then to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and then to Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans.

Exhibit 10.20.6

§4.      CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS
§4.1      Conversion Options; Number of LIBOR Contracts .
(a)      Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of the outstanding Revolving Loans to a Revolving Loan of another Type and such Loan shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, Borrower shall give Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall give Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days’ prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan; the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount (for all Lenders) of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Revolving Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in an aggregate principal amount (for all Lenders) of less than $1,000,000 or a LIBOR Rate Loan in an aggregate principal amount (for all Lenders) of less than $2,000,000 and that the aggregate principal amount (for all Lenders) of each Loan shall be an integral multiple of $100,000. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take, to the extent it deems it necessary to do so, such action as is necessary to transfer its Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by Borrower.
(b)      Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.
(c)      In the event that Borrower does not notify Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any Loan, such Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.
(d)      There shall be no more than six (6) unique Interest Periods for Outstanding Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans at any one time.
§4.2      Certain Fees .
Borrower agrees to pay to Regions certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided in the Agreement Regarding Fees. Unless

52

Exhibit 10.20.6

§4.3      Funds for Payment .
All payments of principal, interest, Agent’s fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to Agent, for the respective accounts of Lenders and Agent, as the case may be, at Agent’s Office, no later than 12:00 noon (Houston time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.
§4.4      Taxes .
(a)      Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower, as applicable, shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)      The Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)      The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)      Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the

Exhibit 10.20.6

obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of §18 relating to the maintenance of the Register (as defined in §18.2) and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this paragraph (c).
(e)      If requested by Agent after any payment of Taxes by Borrower, to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this §4.4, Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
(f)      (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in §4.4(g)A, B and D below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(g)      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
A.      any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
B.      any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by

54

Exhibit 10.20.6

the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
i.      in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
ii.      executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
iii.      in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN,; or
iv.      to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
C.      any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
D.      if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender

55

Exhibit 10.20.6

were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)      If any party determines, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this §4.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this §4.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)      Each party’s obligations under this §4.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(j)      For purposes of this §4.4, the term “Lender” includes any LC Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

56

Exhibit 10.20.6

§4.5      Computations .
All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year (or, in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans, a 365/366-day year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (excluding the day of repayment). Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on the records of Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount.
§4.6      Inability to Determine LIBOR Rate .
In the event that at any time Agent shall determine in the exercise of its good faith business judgment that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and Lenders) to Borrower and Lenders. In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans and (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically become a Base Rate Loan at the end of the current Interest Period, and the obligations of Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon Agent shall so notify Borrower and Lenders.
§4.7      Illegality .
Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over a Lender Party or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender Party to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender Party shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to Agent and Borrower and thereupon (a) until such conditions terminate, the obligation of such Lender Party to make LIBOR Rate Loans or convert Loans of another Type to LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended, (b) until such conditions terminate, each request by Borrower to make a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be deemed, with respect to such Lender Party, to be a request for a Base Rate Loan and (c) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding from such Lender Party shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans.

57

Exhibit 10.20.6

§4.8      Additional Interest .
If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, Borrower will pay to Agent upon demand for the account of Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages, in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, any amounts required to compensate Lenders for any losses, costs or expenses (but not loss of profit) which may reasonably be incurred as a result of such payment or conversion, including, without limitation, an amount equal to daily interest for the unexpired portion of such Interest Period on the LIBOR Rate Loan or portion thereof so repaid or converted at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the interest rate calculated on the basis of the LIBOR Rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan (excluding any spread over such LIBOR Rate) minus (b) the yield obtainable by Agent upon the purchase of debt securities customarily issued by the Treasury of the United States of America which have a maturity date most closely approximating the last day of such Interest Period (it being understood that the purchase of such securities shall not be required in order for such amounts to be payable and that a Lender shall not be obligated or required to have actually obtained funds at the LIBOR Rate or to have actually reinvested such amount as described above).
§4.9      Additional Costs, Capital Adequacy, Etc.
(a)      Subject to §4.4, if any Change in Law shall:
(i)      impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or LC Issuer;
(ii)      subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes) with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan, any Revolving Commitment, any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Recipient; or
(iii)      impose on any Lender or LC Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, Agent or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining

58

Exhibit 10.20.6

its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, LC Issuer, or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or any Swing Line Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, LC Issuer, Agent or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, LC Issuer or Agent, or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, LC Issuer, Agent, or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, LC Issuer, Agent, or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making the payment referred to in this §4.9(a), to prepay the Loans and Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations of the applicable Lender within fifteen (15) days of such demand and avoid the payment of the amounts otherwise due under this §4.9(a) or to cause the applicable Lender to assign its Loans and Revolving Commitments in accordance with §18.8, provided, however, that Borrower shall be required to pay together with such prepayment of the Loan all other costs, damages and expenses otherwise due under this Agreement as a result of such prepayment.
(b)      If any Lender or LC Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or LC Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or LC Issuer or such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by LC Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or LC Issuer or such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or LC Issuer or such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making the payment referred to in this §4.9(b), to prepay the Loans and Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations of the applicable Lender within fifteen (15) days of such demand and avoid the payment of the amounts otherwise due under this §4.9(b) or to cause the applicable Lender to assign its Loans and Revolving Commitments in accordance with §18.8, provided, however, that Borrower shall be required to pay together with such prepayment of the Loan all other fees, costs, damages and expenses otherwise due under this Agreement as a result of such prepayment.
(c)      Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s

59

Exhibit 10.20.6

right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or LC Issuer or pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
§4.10      Mitigation Obligations .
If any Lender requests compensation under §4.9, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to §4.4, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to §4.4 or §4.9, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
§4.11      Indemnity by Borrower .
Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender Party harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense that such Lender Party may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender Party to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, or (b) default by Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion after Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Conversion Request.
§4.12      Interest on Overdue Amounts .
Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, at the election of the Required Lenders, all Loans and all Matured LC Obligations shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the rate that would otherwise be applicable at such time (the “ Default Rate ”), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), or if such rate shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law.


60

Exhibit 10.20.6

§4.13      Certificate .
A certificate of a Lender or LC Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or LC Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in §4.8, §4.9, §4.11 or §4.12 and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or LC Issuer the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
§4.14      Limitation on Interest .
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all agreements between Borrower and Lender Parties and Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender Parties exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Lender Parties in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Lender Parties shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance Lender Parties shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender Parties shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This section shall control all agreements between Borrower and Lender Parties and Agent.
§5.      GUARANTORS; COLLATERAL SECURITY
§5.1      Collateral .
(a)      The parties acknowledge that Borrower will form directly-owned special purpose Restricted Subsidiaries to own real and personal property. With respect to each Restricted Subsidiary, Borrower shall (i) pursuant to §8.10, designate such Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) cause each Restricted Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement (Guarantor), and (iii) cause each Restricted Subsidiary and each required Loan Party to deliver the Security Documents described in §5.1(b) below, together with Organizational Documents, certified resolutions and other authorizing documents of such Subsidiary and such other Loan Parties and

61

Exhibit 10.20.6

favorable opinions of counsel to such Subsidiary and such other Loan Parties, all in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.
(b)      The Obligations shall be secured by (i) a perfected lien or security title and security interest to be held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the Eligible Assets and substantially all other personal property assets of Borrower and the Guarantors (other than Equity Interests in Unrestricted Subsidiaries), pursuant to the terms of the Mortgages and the Security Agreement, (ii) a perfected security interest to be held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the Eligible Leases pursuant to the Mortgages (and Assignments of Leases, if any), (iii) a perfected security interest to be held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the Eligible Mortgages pursuant to the Mortgage Assignments; (iv) a perfected security interest to be held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the Pledged Deposit Accounts and all monies, instruments and investments from time to time held therein, (v) a perfected pledge of and security interest in all issued and outstanding Equity Interests in the Restricted Subsidiaries held by Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to the Security Agreement, and (vi) such additional collateral, if any, as the Borrower or any Guarantor may agree to grant to Agent for the benefit of Lenders from time to time as security for the Obligations. All such liens or security titles shall be prior and superior in right to any other Person except (i) Permitted Liens having priority by operation of law, (ii) as provided in the Master Intercreditor Agreement or (iii) as may be consented to from time to time by Required Lenders.

In the event such flood hazard determination provides that such Mortgaged Property is located in a “special flood hazard area”, Agent and Lenders shall have not less than thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as all Lenders may consent) after receipt of such determination and prior to the delivery of such Mortgage to (i) notify the applicable Loan Parties of that fact and (if applicable) notification to the applicable Loan Parties that flood insurance coverage is not available, evidence of the receipt by the applicable Loan Parties of such notice; and (ii) if required by Flood Insurance Regulations, receive evidence of required flood insurance. If any Lender shall fail to receive all such documentation as reasonably required by such Lender to complete its flood insurance due diligence within such thirty-day period with respect to such Mortgaged Property, such Lender may notify Agent that such Lender has not completed its flood insurance due diligence to its reasonable satisfaction, and Agent shall not accept such Mortgage until such Lender notifies Agent that such Lender has completed such flood insurance due diligence.

62

Exhibit 10.20.6

(d)      If any Mortgage does not expressly exclude all Buildings (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) and Manufactured (Mobile) Homes (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) from the Mortgaged Property thereunder, upon any increase, extension or renewal of any of the Revolving Commitments or Loans (including any increase in the Revolving Commitments under §2.8 but excluding (i) any continuation or conversion of borrowings, (ii) the making of any Revolving Loans or (iii) the issuance, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit), Agent and Lenders shall have not less than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice and prior to the delivery of such Mortgage to obtain a completed flood hazard determination from a third party vendor with respect to Mortgaged Property under such Mortgage. In the event such flood hazard determination provides that such Mortgaged Property is located in a “special flood hazard area”, Agent and Lenders shall have not less than thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as all Lenders may consent) after receipt of such determination and prior to such MIRE Event to (i) notify the applicable Loan Parties of that fact and (if applicable) notification to the applicable Loan Parties that flood insurance coverage is not available, evidence of the receipt by the applicable Loan Parties of such notice; and (ii) if required by Flood Insurance Regulations, receive evidence of required flood insurance. If any Lender shall fail to receive all such documentation as reasonably required by such Lender to complete its flood insurance due diligence within such thirty-day period with respect to such Mortgaged Property, such Lender may notify Agent that such Lender has not completed its flood insurance due diligence to its reasonable satisfaction, and such MIRE Event shall not be closed or effective until such Lender notifies Agent that such Lender has completed such flood insurance due diligence.
§5.2      Operating Account .
Prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the initial Loan advance is made, Borrower shall cause its main operating account (the “ Operating Account ”) to be maintained with Agent. So long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw amounts from the Operating Account. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Agent may sweep all funds on deposit in the Operating Account to an account controlled by Agent on a daily basis. Borrower hereby grants to Agent a security interest (prior and superior in right to any other Person except Permitted Liens having priority by operation of law) in and to all funds now or at any time hereafter held on deposit in such Operating Account to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, and Agent shall have all rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such funds.

63

Exhibit 10.20.6

§5.3      Advance Account .
On or before the date on which the initial Loan advance is made, Agent shall open an account at Agent’s Head Office in the name of Borrower to facilitate the funding of the Loans (the “ Advance Account ”). The sole signatory on the Advance Account shall be Borrower. The Advance Account shall be a non-interest bearing account.
(a)      Deposits of Loans to the Advance Account . The proceeds of all Loans shall be deposited by Agent to the Advance Account, and all Loans shall accrue interest from the date of deposit in the Advance Account. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have access to all funds contained in the Advance Account. Upon withdrawal of Loan proceeds from the Advance Account, Borrower shall apply such Loan proceeds as permitted under §2.7.
(b)      Funds Following an Event of Default . Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may terminate Borrower’s rights to access or direct the application of funds on deposit in the Advance Account. Thereafter, Agent shall either hold all or any portion of the funds on deposit as security for the Obligations or apply all or any portion of such funds in satisfaction of any part of the Obligations.
(c)      Security Interest . Borrower hereby grants to Agent a perfected, first-in-priority security interest in and to all funds now or at any time hereafter held on deposit in the Advance Account to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, subject to Permitted Liens, and Agent shall have all rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such funds.
§5.4      [RESERVED] .
§5.5      Release of Collateral .
From time to time Borrower may request release of Collateral that constitutes a Borrowing Base Asset, together with a release of the Guarantor that owns such Borrowing Base Asset and the Equity Interests in such Guarantor, and Agent will grant such releases and remove such Collateral from the Borrowing Base Assets so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default is then in existence; and (ii) removal of such Collateral from the Borrowing Base will not cause (A) the Outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit to exceed (B) (I) the remaining Borrowing Base minus (II) the outstanding principal amount of the loans under the MGP/UPS Credit Facility.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Lender, including Agent, may, but shall not be obligated to freeze withdrawals from any account of the Loan Parties held by such Lender. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower and Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
§13.2      Sharing of Payments by Lenders .
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans, its

104

Exhibit 10.20.6

participations in LC Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders and subparticipations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them (except that with respect to any other Lender that is a Defaulting Lender by virtue of such Lender failing to fund its required share (if any) of any Loan or LC Obligation, such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share of the excess payment shall be allocated to the Lender (or the Lenders, pro rata) that funded such Defaulting Lender’s required share (if any)); provided that:
(a)      if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(b)      the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (ii) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in §2.15, or (iii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
§14.      THE AGENT
§14.1      Authorization .
Each of the Lenders and LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Regions to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incident thereto,

105

Exhibit 10.20.6

provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by Agent. The obligations of Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute Agent as a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or LC Issuer or to create any agency or fiduciary relationship. Agent shall act as the contractual representative of Lenders and LC Issuer hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender or LC Issuer by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind Lenders and LC Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
§14.2      Employees and Agents .
Agent may exercise its rights and powers and execute any and all of its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent and any such agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such agent and to the Related Parties of Agent and any such agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by Borrower.
§14.3      No Liability .
Neither Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable to Lenders or LC Issuer for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have

106

Exhibit 10.20.6

been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal, or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or LC Issuer, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or LC Issuer unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or LC Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
§14.4      No Representations .
Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent:
(a)      shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)      shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
(c)      shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in §27 and §12.4) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to Agent by any Loan Party or any Lender or LC Issuer.
Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time

107

Exhibit 10.20.6

constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Loan Party, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any other of the Loan Documents.
Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by Borrower, any other Loan Party or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to Lenders or LC Issuer, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of Borrower or any other Loan Party or the value of the Collateral or any other assets of such Persons.
Each Lender and LC Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent, LC Issuer or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and LC Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, LC Issuer or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
§14.5      Payments .
(a)      A payment by any Loan Party to Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one (1) Business Day after Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with Agent’s customary practices, such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by Agent for the account of Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents; provided that if any Lender then owes payments to LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender for the purchase of a participation under §2.12(c) or §2.16(c), any amounts otherwise distributable under this section to such Lender shall be deemed to belong to LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender to the extent of such unpaid payments, and Agent shall apply such amounts to make such unpaid payments rather than distribute such amounts to such Lender.
(b)      If in the opinion of Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve

108

Exhibit 10.20.6

it in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.
(c)      No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fees otherwise due such Lender for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). The Defaulting Lender shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in §2.13. If Borrower, Agent, Swing Line Lender and LC Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which conditions may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(d)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to §12 or otherwise) or received by Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Agent as follows: first , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Agent hereunder; second , to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third , if so determined by Agent or requested by LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth , as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Agent; fifth , if so determined by Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations

109

Exhibit 10.20.6

with respect to Loans under this Agreement and; sixth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, LC Issuer or Singe Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh , so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth , to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Matured LC Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans or Matured LC Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §11 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Matured LC Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Matured LC Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this §14.5(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(e)      Reallocation of Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure . All or any part of that Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to that Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in §11 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the lesser of (1) such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (2) such non-Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of (A) the Borrowing Base minus (B) the outstanding principal amount of the loans under the MGP/UPS Credit Facility (calculated without giving effect to any reallocations pursuant to this clause (e)). No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(f)      Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swing Line Loans . If the reallocation described in the preceding clause (e) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Requirements, (1) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure

110

Exhibit 10.20.6

and (2) second, Cash Collateralize LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in §2.15.
§14.6      Holders of Notes .
Subject to the terms of §18, Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.
§14.7      Indemnity .
Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (to the extent of any losses, damages, costs and expenses (and agrees to reimburse LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender for any costs and expenses incurred thereby in its capacity as such) for which Agent (or LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender) has not been reimbursed by Borrower as required by §15 or §16), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
§14.8      Agent as Lender .
In its individual capacity, Regions shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Revolving Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, any other Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.
§14.9      Resignation .
Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders, LC Issuer and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent any Lender or any other bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Any such resignation shall be effective upon appointment and

111

Exhibit 10.20.6

acceptance of a successor agent selected by the Required Lenders. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Lenders and LC Issuer, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a bank whose debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P Corporation and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000, provided that if Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of Lenders or LC Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and LC Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.
§14.10      Duties in the Case of Enforcement .
In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, Agent may and shall, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) Lenders have provided to Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of the Security Documents authorizing the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and exercise all or any other legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have. The Required Lenders may direct Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold Agent harmless from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that Agent reasonably believes Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.

112

Exhibit 10.20.6

§14.11      Request for Agent Action .

Such removal shall be effective upon appointment and acceptance of a successor agent selected by the Required Lenders. Any successor Agent must satisfy the conditions set forth in §14.9. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as agent hereunder by a successor agent, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed Agent, and the removed Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and obligations as Agent under this Agreement and the Loan Documents (subject to Agent’s right to be indemnified as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that Agent shall remain liable to the extent provided herein or in the Loan Documents for its acts or omissions occurring prior to such removal or resignation.

There shall be specifically excluded from the foregoing indemnification any claims, actions, suits, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses arising from disputes among Lenders with respect to the Loans or the Loan Documents.

All amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section shall constitute Obligations until paid in full by Borrower. The provisions of this §16 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of Lenders and LC Issuer hereunder.

obligations of Lenders and LC Issuer hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein. All statements contained in any certificate or other paper delivered to any Lender, LC Issuer or Agent at any time by or on behalf of any of the Loan Parties pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties as to the matters contained in such certificate or other paper by any of the Loan Parties hereunder.

120

Exhibit 10.20.6

potential assignees or participants hereunder, subject to the provisions of §18.10. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Agent and each Lender may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Agent or any Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans and transactions contemplated hereby. In order to facilitate assignments to Eligible Assignees and sales to Eligible Assignees, Borrower shall execute such further documents, instruments or agreements as Lenders may reasonably require. In addition, the Loan Parties agree to cooperate fully with Lenders in the exercise of Lenders’ rights pursuant to this Section, including providing such information and documentation regarding the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries as any Lender or any potential Eligible Assignee or participant may reasonably request and, upon the reasonable request of any such Lender, to meet with potential Eligible Assignees.
§18.8      Mandatory Assignment .
In the event (i) Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications, consents or waivers be made to or under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request is approved by Agent or Required Lenders but is not approved by one or more of Lenders (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “ Non-Consenting Lender ”), (ii) Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to §4.4 or §4.9, or any Lender gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in §4.7 or §4.9, and in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with §4.10, (iii) any Lender hereunder is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) shall hereafter be referred to as an “ Affected Lender ”) then, within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Lender, or, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above at any time after the occurrence of such event, Borrower shall have the right as to such Affected Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to Agent and the Affected Lender, to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer its Loans and Revolving Commitments (and as required pursuant to §18.1(a)(ii), such Affected Lender’s loans and commitments under the MGP/UPS Credit Facility). Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall, subject to §18.1(a)(ii), have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Revolving Commitment and Loans, pro rata based upon their relevant Percentages (not including the Revolving Commitment of the Affected Lender), of the Affected Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such

121

Exhibit 10.20.6

proportion as approved by Agent). In the event that Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s Loans and Revolving Commitment, then Agent shall, subject to §18.1(a)(ii), use commercially reasonable efforts to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining Loans and Revolving Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Loans and Revolving Commitment of the Affected Lender, the Affected Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including, without limitation, an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and such Affected Lender’s original Note. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Loans shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees, plus any applicable prepayment fees which would be owed to such Affected Lender if the Loans were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Affected Lender’s Revolving Commitment. A Lender shall not be required to make any such transfer and assignment if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such transfer and assignment cease to apply.
§18.9      Co-Agents .
Agent may designate any Lender to be a “Co-Agent”, an “Arranger” or similar title, but such designation shall not confer on such Lender the rights or duties of Agent. Any such “Co-Agent” or “Arranger” shall not have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights and obligations, if any, as a Lender.
§18.10      Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality .
Each of Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or, with Borrower’s consent, any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations

122

Exhibit 10.20.6

under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Agent, LC Issuer, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(ix)      an amendment of the definition of Required Lenders or of any requirement for consent by all of Lenders; or

In the event any Lender fails to expressly grant or deny any consent, amendment or waiver sought under this Agreement within ten (10) days of a written request therefor submitted by Agent or Agent’s Special Counsel, such Lender shall be deemed to have granted to Agent an irrevocable proxy with respect to such specific matter. The right of any Lender to consent under subsections (a) and (b) of this §27 shall not apply to a Defaulting Lender, except for purposes of subsection (b)(i) of this §27.
§28.      SEVERABILITY

§29.      NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS

All conditions to the performance of the obligations of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, including the obligation to make Loans, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Agent and Lenders will refuse to make Loans in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Agent and Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it desirable to do so.
§34.      GUARANTY    
§34.1      The Guaranty .     
(a)    Each of Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and each of the holders of the Obligations, as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations (the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”) in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof; provided , however , that the Guaranteed Obligations shall not include any Excluded Swap Obligations. Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Guaranteed Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

131

Exhibit 10.20.6

(b)    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the United States Bankruptcy Code and all other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar debtor relief laws of the United States from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “ Debtor Relief Laws ”) or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.
§34.2      Obligations Unconditional .     
The obligations of Guarantors under §34.1 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or any substitution, compromise, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this §34.2 that the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this §34 until such time as the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto have expired or been terminated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(a)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b)    any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, or other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be done or omitted;
(c)    the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(d)    any Lien granted to, or in favor of, Agent or any of the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or

132

Exhibit 10.20.6

(e)    any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).
With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest notice of acceptance of the guaranty given hereby and of Loans that may constitute obligations guaranteed hereby, notices of amendments, waivers and supplements to the Loan Documents and other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, or the compromise, release or exchange of collateral or security, and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that Agent or any holder of the Guaranteed Obligations exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents or any other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.
§34.3      Reinstatement .     
Neither Guarantors’ obligations hereunder nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor, by reason of Borrower’s or any other Guarantor’s bankruptcy or insolvency or by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of Guarantors under this §34 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify Agent and each holder of Guaranteed Obligations on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any law firm or other outside counsel incurred by the Agent) incurred by Agent or such holder of Guaranteed Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.
§34.4      Certain Waivers .     
Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the guaranty given hereby may be enforced without the necessity of resorting to or otherwise exhausting remedies in respect of any other security or collateral interests, and without the necessity at any time of having to take recourse against Borrower or any other Guarantor hereunder or against any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, (b) it will not assert any right to require the action first be taken against Borrower or any other Person (including any co-guarantor) or pursuit of any other remedy or enforcement any other right, and (c) nothing contained herein shall prevent or limit action being taken against Borrower or any other Guarantor hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or the other documents and agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations

133

Exhibit 10.20.6

or from foreclosing on any security or collateral interests relating hereto or thereto, or from exercising any other rights or remedies available in respect thereof, if none of Borrower nor Guarantors shall timely perform their obligations, and the exercise of any such rights and completion of any such foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of Guarantors’ obligations hereunder unless as a result thereof, the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated, it being the purpose and intent that Guarantors’ obligations hereunder be absolute, irrevocable, independent and unconditional under all circumstances.
§34.5      Remedies .     
Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, as between Guarantors, on the one hand, and Agent and the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in §12.1 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in §12.1) for purposes of §34.1, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by Guarantors for purposes of §34.1. Guarantors acknowledge and agree that if the Guaranteed Obligations are secured pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents, the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.
§34.6      Rights of Contribution .    
Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in accordance with applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated, and none of Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated.
§34.7      Guaranty of Payment; Continuing Guaranty .    
The guarantee in this §34 is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, and is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
§34.8      Special Provisions Applicable to Guarantors .    
(a)    Guarantors hereby agree, among themselves, that if any Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any Obligations, each other Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but

134

Exhibit 10.20.6

subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Obligations. The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this §34.8(a) shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty, and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all such obligations. For purposes of this §34.8(a), (i) “ Excess Funding Guarantor ” shall mean, in respect of any Obligations, a Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of the amount of proceeds of Loans advanced to it by Borrower that have not been repaid as of the date of determination, plus its Pro Rata Share of the remaining portion of such Obligations, (ii) “ Excess Payment ” shall mean, in respect of any Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of the amount of proceeds of Loans advanced to it by Borrower that have not been repaid as of the date of determination, plus its Pro Rata Share of the remaining portion of such Obligations and (iii) “ Pro Rata Share ” shall mean, for any Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Guarantor that have been guaranteed by such Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of Borrower and all of Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of Borrower and Guarantors hereunder) of Borrower and all of Guarantors, all as of the Second Amendment Closing Date.
(b)    Upon the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement (Guarantor) by any Subsidiary to the extent required by §5.1 of this Agreement, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any Joinder Agreement (Guarantor) adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other party hereto. The rights and obligations of each party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor hereunder.
§35.      AMENDMENT/RESTATEMENT    
On the Closing Date:
(a)      the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid commitment fees, break funding fees under §4.8 and all other fees that are outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement for the account of each “Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement;

135

Exhibit 10.20.6

(b)      each “Base Rate Loan” and “LIBOR Rate Loan” outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be refinanced and continued with the proceeds of a new Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable, and continued as existing Loans under this Agreement and not as a novation;
(c)      any letters of credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed issued under this Agreement; and
(d)      the Existing Credit Agreement and the commitments thereunder shall be superceded by this Agreement and such commitments shall terminate.
It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement not constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Existing Credit Agreement or evidence repayment of any such obligations and liabilities and that this Agreement amend and restate in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement and re-evidence the obligations of Borrower and Guarantors outstanding thereunder.
§36.      ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF EEA FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS    
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

136

Exhibit 10.20.6

(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
