(referred to herein as &#147;us,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;our&#148; or the &#147;Registrant&#148;) amended and restated our charter by filing the Sixth Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the &#147;Sixth Articles&#148;) with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland. The Sixth Articles were approved by our stockholders at our annual meeting of stockholders, as described in Item 5.07 below.</P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:16px; text-indent:48px; font-size:12pt" align=justify>The amendments to our charter relate primarily to access to our stockholder list and our treatment of &#147;mini-tender&#148; offers. &nbsp;Specifically, Section 10.1 of the Sixth Articles now permits only those stockholders who, for at least six months, have been stockholders of record of at least 5% of the outstanding stock of any class to inspect our books of account and stock ledger, to request a statement of our affairs and to request a stockholder list. &nbsp;In addition, Section 10.2 of the Sixth Articles includes a new provision requiring any person making a tender offer, including any &#147;mini-tender&#148; offer, to comply with most of the provisions of Regulation 14D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the notice and disclosure requirements. &nbsp;The new provision requires any offeror to provide us notice of the offer at least ten business days before initiating the offer. &nbsp;If the offeror does not comply with these provisions, we will have the right to redeem that person&#146;s shares and any shares acquired in the offer. &nbsp;In addition, the non-complying offeror will be responsible for all of our expenses in connection with that person&#146;s noncompliance. &nbsp;</P>

Item 5.03.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Effective August 24, 2010, Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. (referred to herein as "us," "we," "our" or the "Registrant") amended and restated our charter by filing the Sixth Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the "Sixth Articles") with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland. The Sixth Articles were approved by our stockholders at our annual meeting of stockholders, as described in Item 5.07 below.
The amendments to our charter relate primarily to access to our stockholder list and our treatment of "mini-tender" offers.  Specifically, Section 10.1 of the Sixth Articles now permits only those stockholders who, for at least six months, have been stockholders of record of at least 5% of the outstanding stock of any class to inspect our books of account and stock ledger, to request a statement of our affairs and to request a stockholder list.  In addition, Section 10.2 of the Sixth Articles includes a new provision requiring any person making a tender offer, including any "mini-tender" offer, to comply with most of the provisions of Regulation 14D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the notice and disclosure requirements.  The new provision requires any offeror to provide us notice of the offer at least ten business days before initiating the offer.  If the offeror does not comply with these provisions, we will have the right to redeem that person's shares and any shares acquired in the offer.  In addition, the non-complying offeror will be responsible for all of our expenses in connection with that person's noncompliance.
The information set forth above with respect to the Sixth Articles does not purport to be complete in scope and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Sixth Articles, which are being filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and are incorporated into this Item 5.03 disclosure by reference.
