Item 1.01.                                        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Second Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On June 29, 2015, Kite Realty Group Trust (the “Company”) and Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) entered into the Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), dated as of July 1, 2014, by and among the Operating Partnership, as borrower, the Company, as guarantor, KeyBank National Association, as a lender and Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), and the other lenders party thereto.

The Amendment increased the unsecured term loan facility from $230 million to $400 million (the “Amended Term Loan”) pursuant to the Operating Partnership’s exercise of its option to request such increase under the Amended Credit Agreement. The scheduled maturity of the Amended Term Loan remains July 1, 2019, which maturity date may be extended until January 1, 2020 at the Operating Partnership’s option, subject to certain conditions. The $170 million of additional proceeds, which was drawn on June 29, 2015, was used to retire the loans secured by the Company’s Beacon Hill and Draper Peaks operating properties and to pay down amounts outstanding under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

The Amendment also modified two financial covenants applicable to the Company to permit, in each case, only once during the term of the Amended Credit Agreement for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters following a material acquisition, (i) an increase in the maximum leverage ratio from 60% to 65%, and (ii) an increase in the unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered pool value ratio from .60 to 1.00 to .65 to 1.00.

The Amendment also removes two financial covenants to which the Company had been subject: (i) that the number of properties included in the unencumbered pool of properties not be fewer than 20 at any time, and (ii) that the aggregate value of the properties included in the unencumbered pool of properties not be less than $650,000,000 at any time. Additionally, the Amendment provides the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Company’s subsidiaries with more flexibility to make certain payments and distributions during the term of the Amended Credit Agreement, so long as no default or event of default exists or would result therefrom.

In addition to the foregoing, the Amendment eliminates certain reporting requirements triggered by the addition of new properties to the unencumbered pool. The Amendment also clarifies that the obligation to preserve the right to pledge the interests of the Company or its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, in the unencumbered pool properties to the Agent does not prohibit a provision contained in an agreement evidencing unsecured indebtedness which contains restrictions on encumbering assets that are substantially similar to, or less restrictive than, the restrictions in the Amended Credit Agreement.

The foregoing summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 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.

WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent, the Lenders and certain other parties entered into that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 1, 2014, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 12, 2015 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, Borrower desires to increase the Term Loan Commitment and has requested that the Agent and the Lenders make certain other modifications to the terms of the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, certain of the Lenders desire to increase their Term Loan Commitments, and the Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make such other modifications subject to the execution and delivery by Borrower and Guarantor of this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the sum of TEN and NO/100 DOLLARS ($10.00), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1.                                      Definitions.  All the terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

2.                                      Modification of the Credit Agreement.  Borrower, the Lenders and Agent do hereby modify and amend the Credit Agreement as follows:

(a)                                 By inserting the following definition in Section 1.1. of the Credit Agreement in the appropriate alphabetical order:

‘“Material Acquisition’ means (a) a single acquisition by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of properties or assets for a gross purchase price equal to or in excess of ten percent (10%) of Total Asset Value (determined without giving effect to such acquisition) or (b) one or more acquisitions by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of properties or assets in any two consecutive fiscal quarters for an aggregate gross

1

purchase price equal to or in excess of ten percent (10%) of Total Asset Value (determined without giving effect to such acquisitions).”

(b)                                 By deleting in their entirety the definitions of “Interest Expense”, “Negative Pledge” and “Unencumbered Pool” appearing in Section 1.1. of the Credit Agreement, and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

“‘Interest Expense’ means, with respect to any Person, on any date of determination, without duplication, (a) total interest expense of such Person excluding any non-cash interest expense incurred (in accordance with GAAP) for the period of two fiscal quarters most recently ended, determined on a consolidated basis for such period, plus (b) such Person’s pro rata share of Interest Expense of Unconsolidated Affiliates for such period.

“Negative Pledge” means, with respect to a given asset, any provision of a document, instrument or agreement (other than any Loan Document) which prohibits or purports to prohibit the creation or assumption of any Lien on such asset as security for Indebtedness of the Person owning such asset or any other Person; provided, however, that the following shall not constitute a Negative Pledge:  (a) an agreement that conditions a Person’s ability to encumber its assets (i) in order to be included in a pool of unencumbered assets to comply with financial covenant ratios with respect to Unsecured Indebtedness or (ii) upon the maintenance of one or more specified ratios that limit such Person’s ability to encumber its assets but that in each case do not generally prohibit the encumbrance of its assets, or the encumbrance of specific assets, or (b) a provision contained in any agreement that evidences Unsecured Indebtedness which contains restrictions on encumbering assets that are substantially similar to, or less restrictive than, those restrictions contained in the Loan Documents.

“Unencumbered Pool” means, as of any date of determination, (a) the Initial Unencumbered Pool Properties, plus (b) each other Eligible Unencumbered Pool Property which has been added to the Unencumbered Pool as of such date, plus (c) any Property approved by the Requisite Lenders in writing for inclusion in the Unencumbered Pool, minus (d) any Property which has been removed from the Unencumbered Pool by the Borrower or pursuant to this Agreement as of such date, minus (e) any Property which has been removed from the Unencumbered Pool pursuant to the next sentence hereof as of such date (and plus any Eligible Unencumbered Pool Property which has been added back into the Unencumbered Pool pursuant to the next sentence hereof), minus (f) any Unencumbered Pool Property which no longer satisfies the requirements of an Eligible Unencumbered Pool Property.  In the event that all or any material portion of a Property then within the Unencumbered Pool shall be damaged or taken by condemnation, then, in the Agent’s reasonable discretion, such Property shall either be treated as a Renovation Property or no longer be a part of the Unencumbered Pool unless and until any damage to such Property is repaired or restored, such Property becomes fully operational and the Agent shall receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent of the projected Net Operating Income of such Property following such repair or

2

restoration.  In the event that all or any material portion of any Construction-in-Process Property then within the Unencumbered Pool shall be damaged or taken by condemnation, then the Agent may reduce the amount of the Unencumbered Pool Value in an amount which the Agent reasonably deems appropriate in light of such damage or condemnation; or may remove such Construction-In-Process Property from the Unencumbered Pool unless and until such Construction-In-Process Property is repaired or restored to the Agent’s reasonable satisfaction.”

(c)                                  By inserting the following sentence at the end of the definition of “Lien” appearing in Section 1.1. of the Credit Agreement:

“Any requirement in documentation evidencing or governing Unsecured Indebtedness that requires that such Unsecured Indebtedness be secured on an “equal and ratable” basis to the extent that other Unsecured Indebtedness is secured shall not constitute a Lien or a Negative Pledge, but there shall be a Lien to the extent any such security is granted.”

(d)                                 By deleting in its entirety Section 4.1. of the Credit Agreement, and inserting in lieu thereof the following: “Section 4.1. [Reserved.]”.

(b)                                 Enforceability.  This Amendment and the Term Loan Notes delivered pursuant hereto to which Borrower and Guarantor are a party are the valid and legally binding obligations of Borrower and Guarantor enforceable in accordance with the respective terms and provisions hereof, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the effect of general principles of equity.

(c)                                  Approvals.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and the Term Loan Notes delivered pursuant hereto and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not require the approval or consent of any Person or the authorization, consent, approval of or any license or permit issued by, or any filing or registration with, or the giving of any notice to, any court, department, board, commission or other governmental agency or authority other than those already obtained and any disclosure filings with the SEC as may be required with respect to this Amendment.

8.                                      Waiver of Claims.  Borrower and Guarantor acknowledge, represent and agree that none of such Persons has any defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on or before the date hereof with respect to the Loan Documents, the administration or funding of the Loan or with respect to any acts or omissions of Agent or any Lender, or any past or present officers, agents or employees of Agent or any Lender pursuant to or relating to the Loan Documents, and each of such Persons does hereby

9

expressly waive, release and relinquish any and all such defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims and causes of action arising on or before the date hereof, if any.

9.                                      Ratification.  Except as hereinabove set forth, all terms, covenants and provisions of the Credit Agreement remain unaltered and in full force and effect, and the parties hereto do hereby expressly ratify and confirm the Loan Documents as modified and amended herein.  Guarantor hereby consents to the terms of this Amendment.  Nothing in this Amendment or any other document delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed or construed to constitute, and there has not otherwise occurred, a novation, cancellation, satisfaction, release, extinguishment or substitution of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or the other obligations of Borrower and Guarantor under the Loan Documents.
