(1)Realty Income currently pays the ground lessors directly for the rent under the ground leases.

(2)Our clients, who are generally sub-tenants under the ground leases, are responsible for paying the rent under these ground leases.  In the event a client fails to pay the ground lease rent, we are primarily responsible.

(3) The range of discount rates used to calculate the present value of the lease payments is 2.42% to 5.50%. At December 31, 2020, the weighted average discount rate is 4.29% and the weighted average remaining lease term is 11.5 years. The discount rates are derived using a hypothetical corporate credit curve for the ground leases based on our outstanding senior notes and relevant market data. The discount rates are specific for individual leases primarily based on the lease term.
