Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 28, 2006, Trustreet Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a first amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2005 (the “Credit Facility”), by and among the Company, as borrower, the certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto, Bank of America, as administrative agent, letter of credit issuer and swing line bank, and Banc of America Securities LLC, as soled lead arranger and sole book manager. The Amendment makes the following material changes to the Credit Facility:
 
 
·
A new “accordion” feature was added that provides the Company the option to increase the aggregate amount that may be borrowed under the Credit Facility by up to an additional $200 million (to a maximum of $650 million), which additional amounts may be in the form of revolving or term loans (or a combination of revolving and term loans), at the option of the Company; and
 
·
The rate of interest paid by the Company on revolving loans has been revised to fluctuate based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (as calculated under the Credit Facility). Under the Credit Facility, the interest rates payable on revolving loan commitments will be either a Eurodollar revolving loan rate, which is based on LIBOR plus an “applicable margin,” or a base revolving loan rate equal to (i) the greater of (x) the prime rate or (y) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% plus (ii) an “applicable margin.” The applicable margins for revolving loans are presented on the following grid:

Consolidated Leverage Ratio
Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Revolving Loan Rate
Applicable Margin for Base Revolving Loan Rate
Less than or equal to 45%
1.00%
0
Greater than 45% but less than or equal to 50%
1.25%
0
Greater than 50% but less than or equal to 60%
1.50%
0.25%
Greater than 60%
1.75%
0.50%

At the Company’s current consolidated leverage ratio, the annual interest rate payable by the Company on revolving loans is a per annum rate equal to (a) LIBOR plus 1.5% or (b) (i) the greater of (x) the prime rate or (y) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% plus (ii) 0.25%.

The Amendment does not alter the rate of interest payable with respect to term loans.

 
·
The availability of funds under the Credit Facility has been enhanced through a revision of the calculation of the Company’s “borrowing base” under the Credit Facility. The lenders under the Credit Facility may not extend revolving loans to the Company if total amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility would exceed the borrowing base. The borrowing base now equals 55% (formerly 50%) multiplied by the Company’s “borrowing base asset value” under the Credit Facility, less certain amounts guaranteed by subsidiaries of the Company. In addition, the capitalization rate used in calculating the “borrowing base asset value” has been reduced to 8% from 9%, meaning the “borrowing base asset value” will be larger as calculated under the Amendment.

 
·
In addition, revisions were made with respect to certain of the Company’s covenants under the Credit Facility.

The Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
 
On September 28, 2006, the Company entered into the Amendment, the terms of which are described in Item 1.01 above.
