Spirit Master Funding, LLC, Spirit Master Funding II, LLC, Spirit Master Funding III, LLC, Spirit Master Funding VI, LLC and Spirit Master Funding VIII, LLC will be the issuers of the notes, and the notes will be solely payable from their assets, which consist primarily of (i) fee title to commercial real estate properties and the Issuers' rights in net leases of such properties, and (ii) mortgage loans that are secured by fee title to commercial real estate property and all future payments required thereunder.

Spirit intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the notes (other than certain amounts reserved for acquisition of additional collateral after closing) for general corporate purposes, including repayment of borrowings by Spirit Realty, L.P. under its revolving line of credit, to fund fourth quarter 2014 acquisition activity and for general corporate purposes, including the payment of fees and expenses related to the offering.

The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
