Item       1.01.       Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 30, 2013, Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Second Master Management Agreement and Property Management Agreement Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Inland American Industrial Management LLC, Inland American Office Management LLC and Inland American Retail Management LLC (each a “Manager”), which amended all of the Company’s master management agreements with the Managers, dated July 1, 2012, as amended (the “Master Management Agreements”), and individual property management agreements between the Company’s subsidiaries and the Managers, as amended (the “Individual Management Agreements”), which taken together govern the management of all of the Company’s properties.

Each Manager’s sole member is Inland American Holdco Management LLC (“Inland Holdco”), which has three members, all corporations that are controlled by the principals of The Inland Group, Inc. but which are owned by a number of individuals.  Neither The Inland Group, Inc. nor any of its subsidiaries own any shares of stock in these corporations.

The Inland Group, Inc. is the ultimate parent of the Company’s sponsor, Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation, and the Company’s business manager, Inland American Business Manager & Advisor, Inc.

The Amendment changes the date by which a notice of termination must be delivered in order to prevent the automatic renewal of the Master Management Agreements and Individual Management Agreements.  The new termination notice deadline for each agreement is September 30, 2013.  Prior to executing the Amendment, the termination notice deadline for each agreement was August 31, 2013.

The Amendment also changes the termination date for each of the Master Management Agreements and Individual Management Agreements from December 31, 2013, to January 31, 2014.

In all other respects, the terms and conditions of the Master Management Agreements and Individual Management Agreements remain unchanged.

Item       1.02.       Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 28, 2013, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its apartment properties, which automatically terminated that certain Master Management Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2012 (as amended by the Master Management Agreement and Property Management Agreement Amendment Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2013), by and between the Company and Inland American Apartment Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Apartment Manager”), which governed the management of the Company’s apartment properties (the “Apartment Management Agreement”).

Inland Holdco is the sole member of the Apartment Manager and the description of the relationship between Inland Holdco and the Company included in Item 1.01 is incorporated in its entirety into this Item 1.02 disclosure.
