OF
CORENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE TRUST, INC.

WHEREAS, the Director Compensation Plan (the “Director Plan”) of CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors as of April 5, 2014, and was approved by stockholders at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting on May 28, 2014; and
