STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On August&nbsp;27, 2013, Arbor Funding LLC (&#147;Arbor&#148;), a newly-formed, wholly-owned financing subsidiary of Sierra Income Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), entered into a total return swap,
or TRS, for senior secured floating rate loans with Citibank, N.A. (&#147;Citibank&#148;). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The TRS with Citibank enables the
Company, through Arbor, to obtain the economic benefit of the loans subject to the TRS, despite the fact that such loans will not be directly held or otherwise owned by the Company or Arbor, in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank.
Accordingly, the TRS is analogous to the Company utilizing leverage to acquire loans and incurring an interest expense to a lender. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Pursuant to the terms of the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Arbor, SIC Advisors LLC (&#147;SIC Advisors&#148;), the Company&#146;s investment adviser, has been appointed as the designated manager
of Arbor. SIC Advisors will act as the investment manager of Arbor under the TRS, including the selection of specific loans subject to the TRS. The terms of the TRS are governed by an ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, the Schedule thereto and Credit
Support Annex to such Schedule, and the Confirmation exchanged thereunder, between Arbor and Citibank, which collectively establish the TRS, and are collectively referred to herein as the &#147;TRS Agreement&#148;. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement, and subject to conditions customary for transactions of this nature, Arbor may select a
portfolio of loans with a maximum market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of $100,000,000, which is also referred to as the maximum notional amount of the TRS. Each individual loan, and the portfolio of loans
taken as a whole, must meet criteria described in the TRS Agreement. Arbor will receive from Citibank all interest and, subject to limitations described in the TRS Agreement, all fees payable in respect of the loans included in the portfolio. Arbor
will pay to Citibank interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR + 1.0%&nbsp;per annum. In addition, upon the termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, Arbor will either receive from Citibank the appreciation in the value of such
loan, or pay to Citibank any depreciation in the value of such loan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after the second
anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS. SIC Advisors may terminate the TRS on behalf of Arbor at any time upon providing 10 days prior notice to Citibank. Any termination by SIC Advisors on behalf of Arbor prior to the second anniversary of the
effectiveness of the TRS will result in payment of an early termination fee to Citibank. The early termination fee shall equal the present value of the following two cash flows: (a)&nbsp;interest payments at a rate equal 1.30% based on 70% of the
maximum notional amount of $100,000,000, payable from the later of the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS or the termination date until the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS and (b)&nbsp;interest payments at a rate
equal to 0.15% based on the maximum notional amount of $100,000,000, payable from the later of the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS or the termination date until the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Arbor is required to pay a minimum usage fee in connection with the TRS of 1.0% on the amount equal to 85% of the average daily unused
portion of the maximum amount permitted under the TRS. Such minimum usage fee will not apply during the first 365 days and last 60 days of the term of the TRS Arbor will also pay Citibank customary fees in connection with the establishment and
maintenance of the TRS. </FONT></P>

(generally 25% of the market value of such loan) included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the TRS Agreement. Arbor may be required to post additional collateral from time to time as a result of a decline in the
mark-to-market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. The obligations of Arbor under the TRS Agreement are non-recourse to the Company and the Company&#146;s exposure under the TRS Agreement is limited to the value of the Company&#146;s
investment in Arbor, which generally will equal the value of cash collateral provided by Arbor under the TRS Agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In
connection with the TRS, Arbor has made customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. In addition to customary events of
default and termination events included in the form ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, the TRS Agreement contains the following termination events: (a)&nbsp;a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria for at least 30 days; (b)&nbsp;a failure to post
initial cash collateral or additional collateral as required by the TRS Agreement; (c)&nbsp;a default by Arbor or the Company with respect to indebtedness in an amount equal to or greater than the lesser of $10,000,000 and 2% of the Company&#146;s
net asset value at such time; (d)&nbsp;a merger of Arbor or the Company meeting certain criteria; (e)&nbsp;the Company or Arbor amending their respective constituent documents to alter their investment strategy in a manner that has or could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect; and (f)&nbsp;SIC Advisors ceasing to be the investment manager of Arbor or to have authority to enter into transactions under the TRS Agreement on behalf of Arbor, and not being replaced by

Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 27, 2013, Arbor Funding LLC ("Arbor"), a newly-formed, wholly-owned financing subsidiary of Sierra Income Corporation (the "Company"), entered into a total return swap,
or TRS, for senior secured floating rate loans with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank").
The TRS with Citibank enables the
Company, through Arbor, to obtain the economic benefit of the loans subject to the TRS, despite the fact that such loans will not be directly held or otherwise owned by the Company or Arbor, in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank.
Accordingly, the TRS is analogous to the Company utilizing leverage to acquire loans and incurring an interest expense to a lender.
Pursuant to the terms of the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Arbor, SIC Advisors LLC ("SIC Advisors"), the Company's investment adviser, has been appointed as the designated manager
of Arbor. SIC Advisors will act as the investment manager of Arbor under the TRS, including the selection of specific loans subject to the TRS. The terms of the TRS are governed by an ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, the Schedule thereto and Credit
Support Annex to such Schedule, and the Confirmation exchanged thereunder, between Arbor and Citibank, which collectively establish the TRS, and are collectively referred to herein as the "TRS Agreement".
Pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement, and subject to conditions customary for transactions of this nature, Arbor may select a
portfolio of loans with a maximum market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of $100,000,000, which is also referred to as the maximum notional amount of the TRS. Each individual loan, and the portfolio of loans
taken as a whole, must meet criteria described in the TRS Agreement. Arbor will receive from Citibank all interest and, subject to limitations described in the TRS Agreement, all fees payable in respect of the loans included in the portfolio. Arbor
will pay to Citibank interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR + 1.0% per annum. In addition, upon the termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, Arbor will either receive from Citibank the appreciation in the value of such
loan, or pay to Citibank any depreciation in the value of such loan.
Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after the second
anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS. SIC Advisors may terminate the TRS on behalf of Arbor at any time upon providing 10 days prior notice to Citibank. Any termination by SIC Advisors on behalf of Arbor prior to the second anniversary of the
effectiveness of the TRS will result in payment of an early termination fee to Citibank. The early termination fee shall equal the present value of the following two cash flows: (a) interest payments at a rate equal 1.30% based on 70% of the
maximum notional amount of $100,000,000, payable from the later of the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS or the termination date until the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS and (b) interest payments at a rate
equal to 0.15% based on the maximum notional amount of $100,000,000, payable from the later of the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS or the termination date until the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS.
Arbor is required to pay a minimum usage fee in connection with the TRS of 1.0% on the amount equal to 85% of the average daily unused
portion of the maximum amount permitted under the TRS. Such minimum usage fee will not apply during the first 365 days and last 60 days of the term of the TRS Arbor will also pay Citibank customary fees in connection with the establishment and
maintenance of the TRS.
Arbor is required to initially cash collateralize a specified percentage of each loan
(generally 25% of the market value of such loan) included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the TRS Agreement. Arbor may be required to post additional collateral from time to time as a result of a decline in the
mark-to-market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. The obligations of Arbor under the TRS Agreement are non-recourse to the Company and the Company's exposure under the TRS Agreement is limited to the value of the Company's
investment in Arbor, which generally will equal the value of cash collateral provided by Arbor under the TRS Agreement.
In
connection with the TRS, Arbor has made customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. In addition to customary events of
default and termination events included in the form ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, the TRS Agreement contains the following termination events: (a) a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria for at least 30 days; (b) a failure to post
initial cash collateral or additional collateral as required by the TRS Agreement; (c) a default by Arbor or the Company with respect to indebtedness in an amount equal to or greater than the lesser of $10,000,000 and 2% of the Company's
net asset value at such time; (d) a merger of Arbor or the Company meeting certain criteria; (e) the Company or Arbor amending their respective constituent documents to alter their investment strategy in a manner that has or could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect; and (f) SIC Advisors ceasing to be the investment manager of Arbor or to have authority to enter into transactions under the TRS Agreement on behalf of Arbor, and not being replaced by
an entity reasonably acceptable to Citibank.
The foregoing descriptions of the TRS, the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement and the
Confirmation Letter Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and the full text of the Confirmation, attached hereto
as Exhibit 10.2.
