Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On March 3, 2021, Spirit Realty, L.P. (the “Issuer”), a Delaware limited partnership and subsidiary of Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (the “Guarantor”), completed an underwritten public offering of $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.100% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.700% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes” and together with the 2028 Notes, the “Notes”).

The 2028 Notes

The 2028 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor (the “2028 Guarantee”). The terms of the 2028 Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of August 18, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a sixth supplemental indenture, dated as of March 3, 2021 (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “2028 Notes Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee. The 2028 Notes Indenture contains various restrictive covenants, including limitations on the ability of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, including the Issuer, to incur additional indebtedness and requirements to maintain a pool of unencumbered assets. Copies of the Base Indenture and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, including the form of 2028 Notes and the 2028 Guarantee, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, are attached as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The purchase price paid by the underwriters for the 2028 Notes was 98.739% of the principal amount thereof. The 2028 Notes are the Issuer’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. However, the 2028 Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the Issuer’s existing and future mortgage indebtedness and other secured indebtedness (to the extent of the collateral securing the same) and to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, of the Issuer’s subsidiaries and of any entity the Issuer accounts for using the equity method of accounting and to all preferred equity not owned by the Issuer, if any, in its subsidiaries and of any entity the Issuer accounts for using the equity method of accounting. The 2028 Notes bear interest at 2.100% per annum. Interest is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2021, until the maturity date of March 15, 2028.

The 2028 Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Issuer’s option, at a redemption price equal to the sum of:

• an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, up to, but not including, the redemption date; and

• a make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the 2028 Notes Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the 2028 Notes are redeemed on or after January 15, 2028 (two months prior to the maturity date of the 2028 Notes), the redemption price will not include a make-whole premium.

Certain events are considered events of default, which may result in the accelerated maturity of the 2028 Notes, including:

• default for 30 days in the payment of any installment of interest under the 2028 Notes;

• default in payment of the principal amount or redemption price due with respect to the 2028 Notes, when the same becomes due and payable;

• the 2028 Guarantee is not (or is claimed by the Guarantor in writing to the trustee not to be) in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of the 2028 Notes Indenture) with respect to the 2028 Notes;

• failure by the Issuer or the Guarantor to comply with any of the agreements contained in the 2028 Notes or the 2028 Notes Indenture with respect to the 2028 Notes upon receipt of notice of such default by the trustee or by holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes then outstanding and failure to cure (or obtain a waiver of) such default within 60 days after receipt of such notice;

• failure to pay any indebtedness that is (a) of the Issuer or the Guarantor, any subsidiary in which the Issuer or Guarantor has invested at least $50,000,000 in capital or any entity in which the Issuer is the general partner of managing member, and (b) in an outstanding principal amount in excess of $50,000,000 at final maturity or upon acceleration after the expiration of any applicable grace period, which indebtedness is not discharged, or such default in payment or acceleration is not cured or rescinded, within 60 days after written notice to the Issuer from the trustee (or to the Issuer and the trustee from holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 2028 Notes); and

• certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, or court appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Issuer, Guarantor, or any significant subsidiary (as defined in the 2028 Notes Indenture) or all or substantially all of their respective property.

The 2032 Notes

The 2032 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor (the “2032 Guarantee” and, together with the 2028 Guarantee, the “Guarantees”). The terms of the 2032 Notes are governed by the Base Indenture, as supplemented by a seventh supplemental indenture, dated as of March 3, 2021 (the “Seventh Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “2032 Notes Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee. The 2032 Notes Indenture contains various restrictive covenants, including limitations on the ability of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, including the Issuer, to incur additional indebtedness and requirements to maintain a pool of unencumbered assets. Copies of the Base Indenture and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, including the form of 2032 Notes and the 2032 Guarantee, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, are attached as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The purchase price paid by the underwriters for the 2032 Notes was 98.694% of the principal amount thereof. The 2032 Notes are the Issuer’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. However, the 2032 Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the Issuer’s existing and future mortgage indebtedness and other secured indebtedness (to the extent of the collateral securing the same) and to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, of the Issuer’s subsidiaries and of any entity the Issuer accounts for using the equity method of accounting and to all preferred equity not owned by the Issuer, if any, in its subsidiaries and of any entity the Issuer accounts for using the equity method of accounting. The 2032 Notes bear interest at 2.700% per annum. Interest is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning August 15, 2021, until the maturity date of February 15, 2032.

The 2032 Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Issuer’s option, at a redemption price equal to the sum of:

• an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, up to, but not including, the redemption date; and

• a make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the 2032 Notes Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the 2032 Notes are redeemed on or after November 15, 2031 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2032 Notes), the redemption price will not include a make-whole premium.

Certain events are considered events of default, which may result in the accelerated maturity of the 2032 Notes, including:

• default for 30 days in the payment of any installment of interest under the 2032 Notes;

• default in payment of the principal amount or redemption price due with respect to the 2032 Notes, when the same becomes due and payable;

• the 2032 Guarantee is not (or is claimed by the Guarantor in writing to the trustee not to be) in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of the 2032 Notes Indenture) with respect to the 2032 Notes;

• failure by the Issuer or the Guarantor to comply with any of the agreements contained in the 2032 Notes or the 2032 Notes Indenture with respect to the 2032 Notes upon receipt of notice of such default by the trustee or by holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Notes then outstanding and failure to cure (or obtain a waiver of) such default within 60 days after receipt of such notice;

• failure to pay any indebtedness that is (a) of the Issuer or the Guarantor, any subsidiary in which the Issuer or Guarantor has invested at least $50,000,000 in capital or any entity in which the Issuer is the general partner of managing member, and (b) in an outstanding principal amount in excess of $50,000,000 at final maturity or upon acceleration after the expiration of any applicable grace period, which indebtedness is not discharged, or such default in payment or acceleration is not cured or rescinded, within 60 days after written notice to the Issuer from the trustee (or to the Issuer and the trustee from holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 2032 Notes); and

• certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, or court appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Issuer, Guarantor, or any significant subsidiary (as defined in the 2032 Notes Indenture) or all or substantially all of their respective property.

13

the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 3.2(g) hereof, and the Company will execute and, upon the receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant.

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

The Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) calculated by the Company and equal the sum of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to, but not including, the Redemption Date plus (2) a Make-Whole Premium; provided that if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption) and the Redemption Price shall not include accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are redeemed on or after January 15, 2028, the Redemption Price will not include a Make-Whole Premium.

(a)    In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.1, it shall fix a date for redemption and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer than five Business Days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the date the notice of redemption is to be sent, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed, or sent by electronic transmission, a notice of such redemption not fewer than fifteen calendar days but not more than sixty calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its last address as the same appears on the Register; provided that if the Company makes such request of the Trustee, it shall, together with such request, also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee, provided further that the text of the notice shall be prepared by the Company. Such mailing shall be by first class mail or by electronic transmission. The notice, if sent in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or electronic submission or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

(b)    Each such notice of redemption shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (ii) the CUSIP number or numbers of the Notes being redeemed, (iii) the Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the Redemption Price at which Notes are to be redeemed, (v) the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and (vi) that interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue.

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

(c)    On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 4.2, the Company will deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.5 of the Base Indenture) an amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for redemption at the appropriate Redemption Price; provided that if such payment is made on the Redemption Date, it must be received by the Paying Agent, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 4.2 in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price.

(d)    If less than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select, in a manner it deems fair and appropriate, subject to Applicable Procedures, the Notes or portions thereof of the Global Notes or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof). The Notes (or portions thereof) so selected for redemption shall be deemed duly selected for redemption for all purposes hereof.

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

(a)    If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 4.2, the Notes or portion of Notes with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the Redemption Price, and unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, (i) interest will cease to accrue on any Notes called for redemption at the Redemption Date, (ii) on and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Notes shall cease to be entitled to any benefit or security under the Indenture and (iii) the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Notes at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

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

ARTICLE V.

GUARANTEE

Section 5.1    Note Guarantee.

(a)    Subject to this Article 5, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, that:

(1)    the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company under the Indenture or the Notes, and interest, if any, on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under the Indenture or the Notes will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms under the Indenture or the Notes; and

(2)    in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantor will be obligated to pay the same immediately. The Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b)    The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under the Indenture and the Notes are full and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Indenture or the Notes, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions of the Indenture or the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Indenture and the Notes.

(c)    If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d)    The Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the

19

obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VII for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VII, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

Section 5.2    Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 5.01, the Guarantor hereby agrees that this Sixth Supplemental Indenture will be executed on its behalf by one of its Officers. If an Officer whose signature is on this Sixth Supplemental Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which the Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Sixth Supplemental Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

Section 5.3    Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability.

The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under its Note Guarantee constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 5.4    Application of Certain Terms and Provisions to the Guarantor .

(a)    For purposes of any provision of the Indenture which provides for the delivery by the Guarantor of an Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, the definitions of such terms in Section 1.2 shall apply to the Guarantor as if references therein to the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, were references to the Guarantor.

(b)    Any notice or demand which by any provision of the Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the Holders of Notes to or on the Guarantor may be given or served as described in Section 10.2 of the Base Indenture as if references therein to the Company were references to the Guarantor.

(c)    Upon any demand, request or application by the Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under the Indenture, the Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as are required in Section 10.1 as if all references therein to the Company were references to the Guarantor.

20

ARTICLE VI.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

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

Section 6.1    Limitations on Incurrence of Debt.

(a)    Aggregate Debt Test. The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds of the additional Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all the Guarantor’s outstanding Debt and that of its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 60% of the sum of (without duplication):

(1)    the Guarantor’s Total Assets as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered in the Guarantor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the SEC (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, furnished to the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt; and

(2)    the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt.

(b)    Debt Service Test. The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Service Charge for the most recent quarterly period covered in the Guarantor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the SEC (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, furnished to the Trustee) prior to such time, annualized (i.e., multiplied by four) prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5, on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that:

(1)    such Debt and any other Debt incurred by the Guarantor or its Subsidiaries since the first day of such quarterly period and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Debt since the first day of such period, had occurred at the beginning of such period;

(2)    the repayment or retirement of any other Debt (other than Debt repaid or retired with the proceeds of any other Debt, which repayment or retirement shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(1) and not to this Section 6.1(b)(2)) by the Guarantor or its Subsidiaries since the first day of such

21

quarterly period had been repaid or retired at the beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility, line of credit or similar facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period);

(3)    in the case of Acquired Debt or Debt incurred by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any acquisition since the first day of such quarterly period, the related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition being included in such pro forma calculation; and

(4)    in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such quarterly period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition and any related repayment of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.

If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the calculation described in this Section 6.1 or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant quarterly period bears interest at a floating rate (to the extent such Debt has been hedged to bear interest at a fixed rate, only the portion of such Debt, if any, that has not been so hedged), then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service Charge, the interest rate on such Debt will be computed on a pro forma basis as if the average interest rate that would have been in effect during the entire such period had been the applicable rate for the entire such period.

(c)    Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets. The Guarantor and its Subsidiaries may not at any time own Total Unencumbered Assets equal to less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

(d)    Secured Debt Test. The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt secured by any mortgage, lien, charge, pledge, encumbrance or security interest upon any of the Guarantor’s property or the property of any of its Subsidiaries, whether owned at the date hereof or hereafter acquired, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all of the Guarantor’s outstanding Debt and the outstanding Debt of its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for borrowed money that is secured by any mortgage, lien, charge, pledge, encumbrance or security interest on the Guarantor’s property or the property of any of its Subsidiaries is greater than 40% of the sum of (without duplication):

(1)    the Guarantor’s Total Assets as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered in the Guarantor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the SEC (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, furnished to the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt; and

22

(2)    the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt.

For purposes of this Section 6.1, Debt shall be deemed to be “incurred” by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries whenever the Guarantor or such Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof. Furthermore, nothing in the covenants described under this Section 6.1 shall prevent the incurrence by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of Debt between or among the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.2    Existence.

Except as permitted below, the Guarantor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the existence, rights, both charter and statutory, and franchises of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Guarantor will not be required to preserve any right or franchise if the Guarantor determines that the preservation of the right or franchise is no longer desirable in the conduct of the Guarantor’s business and that the loss of the right or franchise is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 6.3    Merger, Consolidation or Sale.

The Company and the Guarantor may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of our respective assets to, or merge with or into, any other entity, provided that the following conditions are met:

(a)    the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be the continuing entity, or the successor entity (if other than Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be) formed by or resulting from any consolidation or merger or which shall have received the transfer of assets shall be an entity organized and existing under U.S. laws and expressly assume payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, on, all of the Notes and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions in the Indenture;

(b)    immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default under the Indenture, and no event which, after notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(c)    an Officer’s Certificate covering these conditions shall be delivered to the Trustee.

In the case of any such consolidation, sale, conveyance or merger, but not a lease, in a transaction in which there is a successor entity, the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, under the Indenture and, subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will be released from their respective obligations under the Indenture.

23

Section 6.4    Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

The Guarantor will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or upon the Guarantor’s or any such Subsidiary’s income, profits or property and all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the Guarantor’s or any such Subsidiary’s property; provided, however, that the Guarantor will not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

Section 6.5    Provision of Financial Information.

Whether or not we or the Guarantor is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Guarantor will, to the extent permitted under the Exchange Act, file with the SEC the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that the Guarantor would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to such Section 13 or 15(d) (the “Financial Statements”) if the Guarantor were so subject, such documents to be filed with the SEC on or prior to the respective dates (the “Required Filing Dates”) by which the Guarantor would have been required so to file such documents if the Guarantor were so subject.

The Guarantor will also in any event (1) within 15 days of each Required Filing Date (a) transmit by mail or electronic transmittal to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the security register, without cost to such Holders, copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that the Guarantor is required to file or would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Guarantor were subject to such sections, and (b) furnish to the Trustee copies of annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that the Guarantor would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Guarantor were subject to such sections; provided that the foregoing transmittal and furnishing requirements will be deemed satisfied if the foregoing reports and documents are available on the SEC’s EDGAR system or on the Guarantor’s website within the applicable time period specified above, and (2) if filing such documents by the Guarantor with the SEC is not permitted under the Exchange Act, promptly upon written request and payment of the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply copies of such documents to any prospective Holder. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including our compliance with any of the covenants thereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for the filing, timeliness or content of any such report.

Section 6.6    Maintenance of Properties.

The Guarantor will cause all of its properties used or useful in the conduct of the Guarantor’s business or the business of any of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to

24

be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements of the Guarantor’s and its Subsidiaries’ properties, all as in the Guarantor’s judgment may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries will not be prevented from selling or otherwise disposing for value the Guarantor’s or its Subsidiaries’ properties in the ordinary course of business.

Section 6.7    Insurance.

The Guarantor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep in force upon all of its properties and operations policies of insurance carried with responsible companies in such amounts and covering all such risks as shall be customary in the industry in accordance with prevailing market conditions and availability.

The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting.

At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

ARTICLE IV.

REDEMPTION OF NOTES

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

Section 4.1    Optional Redemption of Notes.

The Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) calculated by the Company and equal the sum of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to, but not including, the Redemption Date plus (2) a Make-Whole Premium; provided that if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption) and the Redemption Price shall not include accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are redeemed on or after November 15, 2031, the Redemption Price will not include a Make-Whole Premium.

Section 4.2    Notice of Optional Redemption, Selection of Notes.

(a)    In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.1, it shall fix a date for redemption and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer than five Business Days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the date the notice of redemption is to be sent, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed, or sent by electronic transmission, a notice of such redemption not fewer than fifteen calendar days but not more than sixty calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its last address as the same appears on the Register; provided that if the Company makes such request of the Trustee, it shall, together with such request, also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee, provided further that the text of the notice shall be prepared by the Company. Such mailing shall be by first class mail or by electronic transmission. The notice, if sent in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or electronic submission or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

(b)    Each such notice of redemption shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (ii) the CUSIP number or numbers of the Notes being redeemed, (iii) the Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the Redemption Price at which Notes are to be redeemed, (v) the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and (vi) that interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If fewer

17

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

(c)    On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 4.2, the Company will deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.5 of the Base Indenture) an amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for redemption at the appropriate Redemption Price; provided that if such payment is made on the Redemption Date, it must be received by the Paying Agent, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 4.2 in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price.

(d)    If less than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select, in a manner it deems fair and appropriate, subject to Applicable Procedures, the Notes or portions thereof of the Global Notes or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof). The Notes (or portions thereof) so selected for redemption shall be deemed duly selected for redemption for all purposes hereof.

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

(a)    If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 4.2, the Notes or portion of Notes with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the Redemption Price, and unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, (i) interest will cease to accrue on any Notes called for redemption at the Redemption Date, (ii) on and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Notes shall cease to be entitled to any benefit or security under the Indenture and (iii) the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Notes at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

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

18

ARTICLE V.

GUARANTEE

Section 5.1    Note Guarantee.

(a)    Subject to this Article 5, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, that:

(1)    the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company under the Indenture or the Notes, and interest, if any, on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under the Indenture or the Notes will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms under the Indenture or the Notes; and

(2)    in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantor will be obligated to pay the same immediately. The Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b)    The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under the Indenture and the Notes are full and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Indenture or the Notes, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions of the Indenture or the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Indenture and the Notes.

(c)    If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d)    The Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the

19

obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VII for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VII, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

Section 5.2    Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 5.01, the Guarantor hereby agrees that this Seventh Supplemental Indenture will be executed on its behalf by one of its Officers. If an Officer whose signature is on this Seventh Supplemental Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which the Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Seventh Supplemental Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

Section 5.3    Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability.

The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under its Note Guarantee constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 5.4    Application of Certain Terms and Provisions to the Guarantor.

(a)    For purposes of any provision of the Indenture which provides for the delivery by the Guarantor of an Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, the definitions of such terms in Section 1.2 shall apply to the Guarantor as if references therein to the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, were references to the Guarantor.

(b)    Any notice or demand which by any provision of the Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the Holders of Notes to or on the Guarantor may be given or served as described in Section 10.2 of the Base Indenture as if references therein to the Company were references to the Guarantor.

(c)    Upon any demand, request or application by the Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under the Indenture, the Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as are required in Section 10.1 as if all references therein to the Company were references to the Guarantor.

20

ARTICLE VI.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

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

Section 6.1    Limitations on Incurrence of Debt.

(a)    Aggregate Debt Test. The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds of the additional Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all the Guarantor’s outstanding Debt and that of its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 60% of the sum of (without duplication):

(1)    the Guarantor’s Total Assets as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered in the Guarantor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the SEC (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, furnished to the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt; and

(2)    the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt.

(b)    Debt Service Test. The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Service Charge for the most recent quarterly period covered in the Guarantor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the SEC (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, furnished to the Trustee) prior to such time, annualized (i.e., multiplied by four) prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5, on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that:

(1)    such Debt and any other Debt incurred by the Guarantor or its Subsidiaries since the first day of such quarterly period and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Debt since the first day of such period, had occurred at the beginning of such period;

(2)    the repayment or retirement of any other Debt (other than Debt repaid or retired with the proceeds of any other Debt, which repayment or retirement shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(1) and not to this Section 6.1(b)(2)) by the Guarantor or its Subsidiaries since the first day of such

21

quarterly period had been repaid or retired at the beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility, line of credit or similar facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period);

(3)    in the case of Acquired Debt or Debt incurred by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any acquisition since the first day of such quarterly period, the related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition being included in such pro forma calculation; and

(4)    in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such quarterly period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition and any related repayment of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.

If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the calculation described in this Section 6.1 or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant quarterly period bears interest at a floating rate (to the extent such Debt has been hedged to bear interest at a fixed rate, only the portion of such Debt, if any, that has not been so hedged), then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service Charge, the interest rate on such Debt will be computed on a pro forma basis as if the average interest rate that would have been in effect during the entire such period had been the applicable rate for the entire such period.

(c)    Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets. The Guarantor and its Subsidiaries may not at any time own Total Unencumbered Assets equal to less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

(d)    Secured Debt Test. The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt secured by any mortgage, lien, charge, pledge, encumbrance or security interest upon any of the Guarantor’s property or the property of any of its Subsidiaries, whether owned at the date hereof or hereafter acquired, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all of the Guarantor’s outstanding Debt and the outstanding Debt of its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for borrowed money that is secured by any mortgage, lien, charge, pledge, encumbrance or security interest on the Guarantor’s property or the property of any of its Subsidiaries is greater than 40% of the sum of (without duplication):

(1)    the Guarantor’s Total Assets as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered in the Guarantor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the SEC (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, furnished to the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt; and

22

(2)    the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt.

For purposes of this Section 6.1, Debt shall be deemed to be “incurred” by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries whenever the Guarantor or such Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof. Furthermore, nothing in the covenants described under this Section 6.1 shall prevent the incurrence by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of Debt between or among the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.2    Existence.

Except as permitted below, the Guarantor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the existence, rights, both charter and statutory, and franchises of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Guarantor will not be required to preserve any right or franchise if the Guarantor determines that the preservation of the right or franchise is no longer desirable in the conduct of the Guarantor’s business and that the loss of the right or franchise is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 6.3    Merger, Consolidation or Sale.

The Company and the Guarantor may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of our respective assets to, or merge with or into, any other entity, provided that the following conditions are met:

(a)    the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be the continuing entity, or the successor entity (if other than Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be) formed by or resulting from any consolidation or merger or which shall have received the transfer of assets shall be an entity organized and existing under U.S. laws and expressly assume payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, on, all of the Notes and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions in the Indenture;

(b)    immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default under the Indenture, and no event which, after notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(c)    an Officer’s Certificate covering these conditions shall be delivered to the Trustee.

In the case of any such consolidation, sale, conveyance or merger, but not a lease, in a transaction in which there is a successor entity, the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, under the Indenture and, subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will be released from their respective obligations under the Indenture.

23

Section 6.4    Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

The Guarantor will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or upon the Guarantor’s or any such Subsidiary’s income, profits or property and all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the Guarantor’s or any such Subsidiary’s property; provided, however, that the Guarantor will not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

Section 6.5    Provision of Financial Information.

Whether or not we or the Guarantor is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Guarantor will, to the extent permitted under the Exchange Act, file with the SEC the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that the Guarantor would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to such Section 13 or 15(d) (the “Financial Statements”) if the Guarantor were so subject, such documents to be filed with the SEC on or prior to the respective dates (the “Required Filing Dates”) by which the Guarantor would have been required so to file such documents if the Guarantor were so subject.

The Guarantor will also in any event (1) within 15 days of each Required Filing Date (a) transmit by mail or electronic transmittal to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the security register, without cost to such Holders, copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that the Guarantor is required to file or would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Guarantor were subject to such sections, and (b) furnish to the Trustee copies of annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that the Guarantor would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Guarantor were subject to such sections; provided that the foregoing transmittal and furnishing requirements will be deemed satisfied if the foregoing reports and documents are available on the SEC’s EDGAR system or on the Guarantor’s website within the applicable time period specified above, and (2) if filing such documents by the Guarantor with the SEC is not permitted under the Exchange Act, promptly upon written request and payment of the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply copies of such documents to any prospective Holder. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including our compliance with any of the covenants thereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for the filing, timeliness or content of any such report.

Section 6.6    Maintenance of Properties.

The Guarantor will cause all of its properties used or useful in the conduct of the Guarantor’s business or the business of any of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to

24

be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements of the Guarantor’s and its Subsidiaries’ properties, all as in the Guarantor’s judgment may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries will not be prevented from selling or otherwise disposing for value the Guarantor’s or its Subsidiaries’ properties in the ordinary course of business.

Section 6.7    Insurance.

The Guarantor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep in force upon all of its properties and operations policies of insurance carried with responsible companies in such amounts and covering all such risks as shall be customary in the industry in accordance with prevailing market conditions and availability.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Spirit Realty Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Guarantor”), and Spirit Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in connection with the issuance of $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 2.100% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 2.700% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes, the “Notes”) and the guarantee of the 2028 Notes (the “2028 Guarantee”) by the Guarantor, under an indenture dated August 18, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”) among the Operating Partnership and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of the date hereof, among the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor and the Trustee (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “2028 Notes Indenture”), and the guarantee of the 2032 Notes (the “2032 Guarantee”) by the Guarantor, under the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of the date hereof, among the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor and the Trustee (the “Seventh Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “2032 Notes Indenture”), and pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 13, 2020 (Registration Nos. 333- 249459 and 333- 249459-01) (as so filed and as amended, the “Registration Statement”), a base prospectus dated October 13, 2020 included as part of the Registration Statement (the “Base

Prospectus”), a preliminary prospectus supplement dated February 22, 2021 filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, a prospectus supplement dated February 22, 2021 filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), and an underwriting agreement dated February 22, 2021 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor and BofA Securities, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein. This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or Prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Notes and Guarantees.

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the internal laws of the State of New York, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. Various issues concerning Maryland law are addressed in the opinion of Ballard Spahr LLP, and various matters concerning Delaware law are addressed in the opinion of Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., each of which has been separately provided to you. We express no opinion with respect to those matters herein, and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the conclusions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, assumed such matters.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, when the 2028 Notes have been duly executed, issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the 2028 Notes Indenture and delivered against payment therefor in the circumstances contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the 2028 Notes and the 2028 Guarantee will be legally valid and binding obligations of the Operating Partnership and the Guarantor, respectively, enforceable against the Operating Partnership and the Guarantor in accordance with their respective terms.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, when the 2032 Notes have been duly executed, issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the 2032 Notes Indenture and delivered against payment therefor in the circumstances contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the 2032 Notes and the 2032 Guarantee will be legally valid and binding obligations of the Operating Partnership and the Guarantor, respectively, enforceable against the Operating Partnership and the Guarantor in accordance with their respective terms.

Our opinion is subject to: (a) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors; (b) the effects of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith, fair dealing and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; (c) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or

court decisions of provisions for the indemnification or exculpation of, or contribution to, a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification, exculpation or contribution is contrary to public policy; and (d) we express no opinion with respect to (i) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, service of process, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief; (ii) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights; (iv) waivers of rights or defenses contained in Section 4.4 of the Base Indenture, Section 5.1(b) of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture and Section 5.1(b) of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture (except, with respect to Section 5.1(b) of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture and Section 5.1(b) of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, to the extent such waiver is limited to the fullest extent that the Guarantor may do so under applicable law) and waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights; (v) provisions to the effect that a guarantor is liable as a primary obligor and not as a surety and provisions purporting to waive modifications of any guaranteed obligation to the extent such modification constitutes a novation; (vi) provisions for the payment of attorneys’ fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy; (vii) provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any agreement, right or property; (viii) provisions for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty; (ix) provisions permitting, upon acceleration of any indebtedness (including the Notes), collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon; and (x) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect.

We express no opinion or confirmation as to federal or state securities laws, tax laws, antitrust or trade regulation laws, insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws, antifraud laws, compliance with fiduciary duty requirements, pension or employee benefit laws, usury laws, environmental laws, laws and regulations relating to commodities trading, futures and swaps, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. rules, National Futures Association rules, the rules of any stock exchange, clearing organization, designated contract market or other regulated entity for trading, processing, clearing or reporting transactions in securities, commodities, futures or swaps, or export control, anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws (without limiting other laws or rules excluded by customary practice).

With your consent, except to the extent we have expressly opined as to such matters with respect to the Operating Partnership or the Guarantor herein, we have assumed (a) that the Notes, the 2028 Notes Indenture, the 2032 Notes Indenture, the 2028 Guarantee and the 2032 Guarantee (collectively, the “Documents”) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, (b) that the Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms and (c) that the status of the Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.

Debt Securities will be issued in accordance with the Indenture, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. We have not participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and assume no responsibility for their contents.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding the securities laws of the State of Delaware), and we have not considered and express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction, including federal laws and rules and regulations relating thereto. Our opinions are rendered only with respect to Delaware laws and rules, regulations and orders thereunder that are currently in effect.

Based upon the foregoing, and upon our examination of such questions of law and statutes of the State of Delaware as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1.    The Partnership has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a limited partnership under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (6 Del. C. § 17-101, et seq.) (the “LP Act”).

2.    Under the LP Act and the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership has the requisite partnership power and authority to execute and deliver the Indenture and the Debt Securities, and to perform its obligations under the Indenture and the Debt Securities.

3.    Under the LP Act and the Partnership Agreement, the execution and delivery by the Partnership of the Indenture and the Debt Securities, and the performance by the Partnership of its obligations under the Indenture and the Debt Securities, have been duly authorized by the requisite partnership action on the part of the Partnership. Each of the Indenture and the Debt Securities has been duly executed and delivered by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership.

We understand that you will file this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to Spirit Realty Capital’s and the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated March 3, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. In connection with the foregoing, we hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
