THIRD AMENDMENT TO TERM LOAN AGREEMENT

This THIRD AMENDMENT TO TERM LOAN AGREEMENT, dated as of March 12, 2021 (this “Third Amendment”), by and among BROADSTONE NET LEASE, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Parent”), BROADSTONE NET LEASE, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party hereto (the “Lenders”), and CAPITAL ONE, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”).  Reference is made to that certain Term Loan Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2019 by and among the Parent, the Borrower, the lenders referenced therein and the Administrative Agent, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement dated as of July 1, 2019 and that certain Second Amendment to Term Loan Agreement dated as of September 21, 2020 (the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that certain provisions of the Credit Agreement be amended as set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.  AMENDMENTS TO CREDIT Agreement.  As of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Section 4 hereof), the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

1.1Amendment to Section 1.1.  Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended by restating the definition of “Applicable Margin” in its entirety to read as follows:

“Applicable Margin” means the percentage rates set forth in the table below corresponding to the level (each a “Level”) into which the Borrower’s Credit Rating then falls.   As of the Third Amendment Effective Date, the Applicable Margins are determined based on Level III.  Any change in the Borrower’s Credit Rating which would cause the Applicable Margins to be determined based on a different Level shall be effective as of the first day of the first calendar month immediately following receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice delivered by the Borrower in accordance with Section 9.4.(r) that the Borrower’s Credit Rating has changed; provided, however, if the Borrower has not delivered the notice required by such Section but the Administrative Agent becomes aware that the Borrower’s Credit Rating has changed, then the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, adjust the Level effective as of the first day of the first calendar month following the date the Administrative Agent becomes aware that the Borrower’s Credit Rating has changed.  During any period that the Borrower has received two Credit Ratings that are not equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the Level corresponding to the higher of such Credit Ratings (with Level I being the highest and Level V being the lowest).  During any period for which the Borrower has received a Credit Rating from only one Rating Agency, then the Applicable Margins shall be determined based on such Credit Rating.  During any period that the Borrower has not received a Credit

Rating from either Rating Agency the Applicable Margins shall be determined based on Level V.  The provisions of this definition shall be subject to Section 2.5.(c).
