Item 2.                                                           Identity and Background

Item 6.                                                           Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to the Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The Adviser has purchased Shares for the separate accounts of Inland American, IREC and Eagle and 8-7/8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company for the separate accounts of IREC and Mr. Parks, pursuant to the terms of the corresponding Advisory Agreements with each of them, respectively.  Pursuant to each Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has full discretionary authority with respect to the investment and reinvestment of the securities issued by the Company in the separate accounts that each of Inland American, Eagle, Mr. Parks and IREC (each individually, an “Adviser Client”) maintains with Adviser, subject to certain investment guidelines that the Adviser Client may provide from time to time.  These guidelines take effect generally fifteen days after notice to Adviser.  The Advisory Agreements also provide that the Adviser has the power as each Adviser Client’s proxy and attorney-in-fact to vote, tender or direct the voting or tendering of all of the assets of the accounts of that Adviser Client.  Either party to an Advisory Agreement may terminate that Advisory Agreement upon thirty days’ written notice.  The Inland American Advisory Agreement is attached to the Initial Statement as Exhibit 7.1, a form of advisory agreement into which each of Eagle and Mr. Parks has entered separately is attached to Amendment No. 3 as Exhibit 7.6 and a form of advisory agreement into which IREC has entered is attached to Amendment No. 6 as Exhibit 7.11, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Adviser, Inland American, IREC, TIRETG and Eagle are separate legal entities.  IREIC sponsored Inland American and IREC.  Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of IREIC.  Eagle is a wholly owned subsidiary of TIRETG.  IREIC and TIRETG are wholly owned subsidiaries of TIGI. Mr. Goodwin is the controlling shareholder of TIGI.  Certain of these entities have some common officers and directors; however, the boards of directors of Inland American and IREC are each comprised of a majority of independent directors.  An investment committee comprised of three members of the board of directors of Adviser oversees the overall investment strategy and decisions made with respect to the discretionary accounts that it manages within the respective investment guidelines provided to it by its clients, including Inland American, IREC and Eagle.  Mr. Goodwin, Mr. Parks and Ms. Roberta S. Matlin are the members of this investment committee.  Mr. Goodwin manages the day-to-day operations of Adviser.

 

Inland American, Adviser, IREIC and TIGI have entered into a Voting Agreement with the Company, dated as of February 13, 2008 (the “Voting Agreement”) and attached to Amendment No. 1 as Exhibit 7.4.  The Company has represented in the Voting Agreement that through an action of its board the 9.9% ownership limit in its charter has been waived for Inland American, Adviser, IREIC and TIGI.  This waiver permits purchases and collective ownership of more than 9.9% of the outstanding Shares by these entities.  If the number of outstanding Shares is reduced for any reason during the term of the Voting Agreement, the Company has agreed that Inland American, Adviser, IREIC and TIGI will not be required to dispose of any of their holdings even if their beneficial ownership exceeds the maximum level of ownership permitted by the Voting Agreement.  If Shares beneficially owned by Inland American, Adviser, TIGI or IREIC are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of during the term of the Voting Agreement, then they may not reacquire any Shares above the greater of (i) their then existing collective ownership percentage of the Company or (ii) the 9.9% ownership limit.

 

The Voting Agreement grants certain officers of the Company named in the Voting Agreement a proxy to vote the Additional Common Stock (as that term is defined in the Voting Agreement, the “Additional Common Stock”), and Inland American, Adviser, IREIC and TIGI have agreed otherwise to cause the Additional Common Stock to be (a) voted in favor of any matters proposed by the Company’s board of directors and presented to the Company’s stockholders; (b) voted for all nominees for directors that have been nominated by the Company’s board of directors; (c) voted against any matters or nominees for directors not proposed by the Company’s board of directors and presented to the Company’s

stockholders; and (d) duly represented, in person or by proxy, at each meeting of stockholders of the Company duly called by the Company’s board of directors.

 

Inland American, Adviser, IREIC and TIGI have also agreed under the Voting Agreement that they will not, without the prior consent of the Company’s board, (w) directly or indirectly or through any other person or entity, solicit proxies with respect to voting securities under any circumstance; or become a “participant” in any “election contest” relating to the election of directors of the Company (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A under the Act); (x) deposit any voting securities in a voting trust, or subject any voting securities to a voting or similar agreement; (y) directly or indirectly or through or in conjunction with any other person or entity, engage in a tender or exchange offer for the Company’s voting securities made by any other person or entity without the prior approval of the Company, or engage in any proxy solicitation or any other activity with any other person or entity relating to the Company without the prior approval of the Company; or (z) become a member of a Section 13(d) group that is seeking to obtain or take control of the Company.

 

Each of the parties is entitled to seek specific performance under the Voting Agreement.  Unless terminated earlier by the written agreement of the parties, the Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale or other disposition by Inland American, Adviser, IREIC and TIGI of the Additional Common Stock, (ii) February 13, 2018 or (iii) any action by the Company’s board of directors to revoke the waiver.

 

Because there is no written or other express agreement, except the Voting Agreement, between or among any of Inland American, IREC, Eagle, TIGI, IREIC and Mr. Goodwin to acquire, hold, vote or dispose of Shares, and because the services provided by investment advisers to clients generally do not create such an agreement between or among that adviser and its clients, the Reporting Persons in accordance with instruction (2) to the cover page of Schedule 13D do not affirm that they are acting as a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Act except with respect to the Additional Common Stock; however, in accordance with the perceived statutory purpose of Section 13(d) to inform investors as to accumulations of an issuer’s securities and because of the relationships among the Reporting Persons described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have filed this Schedule 13D jointly pursuant to the rules promulgated under Section 13(d), including Rule 13d-1(k).  Except as otherwise described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships, legal or otherwise, among the persons named in Item 2 and between these persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss or the giving or withholding of proxies.
