Item 1.01    Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
The information under Item 2.03 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
 
Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
On August 21, 2012, Inland Real Estate Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) and a Fifth Amended and Restated Line of Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility,” and together with the Term Loan Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”).

On August 23, 2013, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Amendment”) and a First Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility Amendment,” and together with the Term Loan Amendment, the “Amendments”).

The Term Loan Amendment increased the outstanding balance from $175 million to $180 million, which increase will be paid as an Advance to the Company, and extended the maturity date by one year, to August 2018. The Credit Facility Amendment increased the maximum commitment of the bank group from $175 million to $180 million and extended the maturity date by one year, to August 2017.

As provided in Schedule 8, the Company generally may borrow under the Credit Agreements at rates of interest that include a base rate applicable to any particular borrowing plus a graduated spread that varies with the Company's leverage ratio. Certain of the spreads applicable to particular leverage ratios have been decreased by the Amendments.

Also as provided in Schedule 8 to each of the Credit Agreements, if the Company obtains an investment grade rating from at least two of Moody's, Fitch and S&P, the applicable margins thereafter potentially will decrease and will vary from time to time by reference to the type of advance (ABR or LIBOR) and the then-current credit ratings of the Company rather than the Company's leverage ratio. The Amendments decrease the applicable margins that correspond to certain credit ratings.

The quarterly unfunded commitment fee payable by the Company if less than 50% of the commitment is funded has been reduced by the Credit Facility Amendment to an amount equal to the unfunded commitment under the Credit Facility (calculated on a daily basis) multiplied by 0.30% per annum. This fee used to be 0.35% of the unfunded commitment.

In connection with the amendments, the definitions of certain terms in the Credit Agreements have been revised in the Amendments as reflected in the tables below:

The term “Unsecured Indebtedness” has been amended to include Recourse Indebtedness that is solely secured by ownership interests in another Person that owns a Project which is encumbered by a Lien securing Indebtedness (as those capitalized terms are defined in the Credit Agreements, respectively).

The information set forth above does not purport to be complete in scope and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendments, which are attached to this current report as exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively and incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.
