Exhibit 10.20.5

        
LIMITED CONSENT AND AMENDMENT

RECITALS:

Reference is hereby made to that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of July 8, 2015 among CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (“Borrower”), the Guarantors which are, or may become signatory to the Credit Agreement (as defined below), Regions Bank, as Agent, and the Lenders named therein, as amended by First Amendment to Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated November 4, 2015 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). Terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Credit Agreement.
Borrower owns 81.05% of the outstanding equity in Pinedale Corridor, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Pinedale“), an Unrestricted Subsidiary, and proposes to make an Investment of up to $49,000,000 in Pinedale through its general partner Pinedale GP, Inc. (“Pinedale GP”), an Unrestricted Subsidiary (the “CORR Capital Investment”), the proceeds of the CORR Capital Investment to be used by Pinedale to repay outstanding Indebtedness of Pinedale maturing March 30, 2016 under that certain Term Credit Agreement dated December 7, 2012 among Pinedale, as borrower, KeyBank National Association, as a lender and agent, and the other lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Pinedale Term Loan Facility”). The proposed CORR Capital Investment in Pinedale would be prohibited by §8.3 of the Credit Agreement, and Borrower has requested that Lenders consent to the proposed CORR Capital Investment. The undersigned each agree that the proposed CORR Capital Investment would not violate §2.7 of the Credit Agreement.
LIMITED CONSENT:

Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein, Agent and the Lenders party hereto hereby consent to the proposed CORR Capital Investment by Borrower in Pinedale, provided:
1)
Not more than $44,000,000 of the proposed CORR Capital Investment shall consist of proceeds of Loans;

2)
Such proposed CORR Capital Investment shall be made on or before March 30, 2016, and contemporaneous therewith, The Prudential Insurance Company of America, a New Jersey corporation (“Prudential”), which indirectly owns 18.95% of the outstanding equity in Pinedale, shall make an Investment (directly or indirectly) equal to the Capital Investment divided by 0.8105 times 0.1895 (up to $11,225,000) in Pinedale (the “Prudential Capital Investment”, and together with the CORR Capital Investment, the “Capital Investments”), and Pinedale shall use the proceeds of the Capital Investments to repay in full all outstanding obligations and indebtedness under the Pinedale Term Loan Facility; it being understood and agreed that the form of the Capital Investments may constitute Indebtedness of Pinedale;

3)
Following the making of the Capital Investments, Borrower shall not permit Pinedale to issue or incur any Indebtedness (other than the Capital Investments, if they constitute Indebtedness) unless (i) Lenders whose aggregate Percentage exceeds sixty-six and two thirds percent (66 2/3%) consent to such Indebtedness; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or conditioned; provided, that it shall not be unreasonable



Exhibit 10.20.5

for any Lender to withhold its consent if such Indebtedness contains (x) any restrictions or limitations on cash distributions from Pinedale to the Borrower (including any rights of the providers of such Indebtedness to limit, restrict, stop or capture such cash distributions upon the occurrence of certain events) more onerous than those contained in the Pinedale Term Loan Facility and in effect prior to December 31, 2015, or (y) any other material terms (other than pricing) more onerous than the material terms of the Pinedale Term Loan Facility as in effect prior to December 31, 2015 and (ii) contemporaneous with the issuance or incurrence of such Indebtedness (x) Pinedale makes a Distribution of the proceeds of such Indebtedness to Borrower, in an aggregate amount at least equal to (A) the CORR Capital Investment minus (B) Distributions by Pinedale to Borrower after March 31, 2016, but only to the extent a corresponding repayment of the Outstanding Revolving Loans was made therefrom, and (y) Borrower uses the proceeds of such Distributions to prepay Outstanding Revolving Loans;

4)
Following the making of the CORR Capital Investment, and continuing until such time as Borrower shall have received from Pinedale the full amount of the CORR Capital Investment, the references to “$40,000,000” in Section 8.3(i) of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer instead to “$0”; following Borrower’s receipt of such return of capital, such references in such Section 8.3(i) shall thereafter again refer to “$40,000,000”;

5)
The reference to “900,000” in Section 3.1(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to refer instead to “$1,615,000”; and

6)
The definition of “Adjusted EBITDA” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following clause at the end thereof: “plus, for any calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for any fiscal period that includes the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2016, an amount equal to $2,553,075”.

EFFECTIVENESS
This Limited Consent shall become effective as of the date hereof when and only when (i) Agent shall have received, at its office a counterpart of this Limited Consent executed and delivered by the Borrower, Agent and Required Lenders, and (ii) Borrower shall have paid to each Lender that executes this Limited Consent a consent fee (the “Consent Fee”) equal to 0.10% of the sum of (x) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment plus (y) such Lender’s Outstanding Term Loan plus (z) such Lender’s commitment under the MGP/UPS Credit Facility; provided, if Borrower does not pay the Consent Fee on or before March 4, 2016, this Limited Consent shall not become effective and shall be void ab initio.
Following the effectiveness hereof, this Limited Consent shall automatically terminate on March 30, 2016 if the proposed Capital Investment is not made on or before such date.
