Section 5.6. Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc.

(b) Neither the Issuer nor any of its Subsidiaries is (i) in default under any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) in violation of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or (iii) in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act or any of the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16), in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), which default or violation could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.9. Taxes. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.9, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which, individually or in the aggregate, is not Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Issuer or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The Issuer knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries in respect of U.S. federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.9, the U.S. federal income tax liabilities of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Section 5.10. Title to Property; Leases.

-7-


Retail Properties of America, Inc.		Note Purchase Agreement

been acquired by the Issuer or any Subsidiary after such date (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement. All leases that individually or in the aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect in all material respects.

Section 5.11. Licenses, Permits, Etc. (a) The Issuer and its Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto without known conflict with the rights of others, except where the failure to own or possess could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) To the best knowledge of the Issuer, no product or service of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries infringes in any respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person, except where such infringement could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) To the best knowledge of the Issuer, there is no violation by any Person of any right of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, except where such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.12. Compliance with ERISA. (a) The Issuer and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Issuer nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the Issuer or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Issuer or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to section 430(k) of the Code or to any such penalty or excise tax provisions under the Code or federal law or section 4068 of ERISA or by the granting of a security interest in connection with the amendment of a Plan, other than such liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate Material.

(b) The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each of the Plans (other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities. The term “benefit liabilities” has the meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and “present value” have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA.

-8-


Retail Properties of America, Inc.		Note Purchase Agreement

The Issuer will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.6. Make-Whole Amount.

“Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

-20-


Retail Properties of America, Inc.		Note Purchase Agreement

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) .50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yield(s)” reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) .50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year

-21-


Retail Properties of America, Inc.		Note Purchase Agreement

comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) subject to clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

Section 8.8. Change in Control.

(a) Notice of Change in Control. The Issuer will, within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice (the “Change in Control Notice”) of such Change in Control to each holder of Notes. Such Change in Control Notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay the Notes as described in Section 8.8(b) hereof and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in Section 8.8(e).

(b) Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by Section 8.8(a) shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.8, all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder (in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date specified in such Change in Control Notice (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”). Such date shall be not fewer than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of delivery of the Change in Control Notice.

(c) Acceptance. Any holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.8 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Issuer not fewer

-22-


Retail Properties of America, Inc.		Note Purchase Agreement

than 10 days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder.

(d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon but without any Make-Whole Amount or other premium. The prepayment shall be made on the Proposed Prepayment Date.

(e) Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer and dated the date of delivery of the Change in Control Notice, specifying: (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.8; (iii) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid (which shall be 100% of the outstanding principal balance of each such Note); (iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date; (v) that the conditions of this Section 8.8 required to be fulfilled prior to the giving of notice have been fulfilled and (vi) in reasonable detail, the general nature and date of the Change in Control.

Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties. The Issuer will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section shall not prevent the Issuer or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Issuer has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.4. Payment of Taxes and Claims. The Issuer will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Issuer or any Subsidiary, provided that neither the Issuer nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Issuer or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Issuer or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Issuer or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Subject to Section 10.2, the Issuer will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Issuer or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6. Books and Records. The Issuer will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Issuer or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

Section 9.7 Subsidiary Guarantors. (a) The Issuer will cause each of its Subsidiaries that (x) guarantees or otherwise becomes liable at any time, whether as a borrower or an additional or co-borrower or otherwise, for or in respect of any Indebtedness under any Primary Credit Facility or the 2014 Note Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Material Credit Facilities”), or (y) (i) owns an Unencumbered Pool Property or other asset the value of which is included in the determination of Unencumbered Pool Value and (ii) such Subsidiary, or any other Subsidiary that directly or indirectly owns any Capital Stock in such Subsidiary, incurs, acquires or suffers to exist (whether as borrower, co-borrower, guarantor or other obligor) any Recourse Indebtedness, to concurrently therewith:

(1) enter into an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders (it being understood and agreed that any agreement substantially similar to the subsidiary guarantee required by the Material Credit Facilities shall be deemed satisfactory to the Required Holders) providing for the guaranty by such Subsidiary, on a joint and several basis with all other such Subsidiaries, of (i) the prompt payment in full when due of all amounts payable by the Issuer pursuant to the Notes (whether for principal, interest, Make-Whole Amount or otherwise) and this Agreement, including, without limitation, all indemnities, fees and expenses payable by the Issuer thereunder and (ii) the prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge by the Issuer of each and every covenant, agreement, undertaking and provision required pursuant to the Notes or this Agreement to be performed, observed or discharged by it (a “Subsidiary Guaranty”); and

(iii) to the extent required under any Material Credit Facility, documents to evidence the due organization, continuing existence and good standing of such Subsidiary and the due authorization by all requisite action on the part of such Subsidiary of the execution and delivery of such Subsidiary Guaranty and the performance by such Subsidiary of its obligations thereunder; and

-25-


Retail Properties of America, Inc.		Note Purchase Agreement

(b) Release of Guarantors. The Issuer may request in writing that the holders of the Notes release a Subsidiary Guarantor, if: (i) such Subsidiary does not have any liability as a guarantor, borrower, co-borrower or otherwise with respect to any Indebtedness under any Material Credit Facility, (ii) such Subsidiary does not have any liability under any other Recourse Indebtedness (other than a Subsidiary of the Issuer which (A) owns a single project encumbered by Liens securing Secured Indebtedness permitted to exist hereunder or (B) is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer); (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence or would occur as a result of such release; and (iv) if any fee or other form of consideration is given to any holder of Indebtedness under any Material Credit Facility directly related to releasing such Subsidiary Guarantor, the holders of the Notes shall receive equivalent consideration (or other form of consideration reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders). Together with any such request, the Issuer shall deliver to the holders of the Notes an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the conditions set forth in immediately preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) will be true and correct upon the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor. No later than 10 Business Days following the receipt by the holders of the Notes of such written request and the related Officer’s Certificate and so long as the conditions set forth in immediately preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) will be true and correct, the release shall be effective automatically and each holder of Notes shall execute and deliver, at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer, such documents as Issuer may reasonably request to evidence such release.

Section 9.8 Priority of Obligations. The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, if any, will at all times rank pari passu in priority of payment with all other senior unsecured Indebtedness of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be.

Section 9.9. Maintenance of Status. The Issuer shall at all times maintain its status as a real estate investment trust in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Code relating to such status.

Section 9.10. Most Favored Lender Status. (a) If on the date of this Agreement or at any time after the date of this Agreement any Material Credit Facility contains a financial covenant (regardless of whether such provision is labeled or otherwise characterized as a covenant, a definition or a default) by the Issuer that is not contained herein (other than the covenant contained in Section 6.11 of the Primary Credit Facility as of the date hereof) or is more favorable to the lenders under such Material Credit Facility than the financial covenants (including related definitions) contained in this Agreement (any such provision (including any necessary definition), a “More Favorable Covenant”), then the Issuer shall provide a Most Favored Lender Notice in respect of such More Favorable Covenant. Unless waived in writing by the Required Holders within 15 days after each holder’s receipt of such notice, such More Favorable Covenant shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into Section 10 of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth in full herein, effective as of the date when such More Favorable Covenant shall have become effective under such Material Credit Facility.

-26-


Retail Properties of America, Inc.		Note Purchase Agreement

(b) Any More Favorable Covenant incorporated into this Agreement (herein referred to as an “Incorporated Covenant”) pursuant to this Section 9.10(a) shall be deemed automatically amended herein to reflect any subsequent amendments made to such More Favorable Covenant under the applicable Material Credit Facility; provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists and the amendment of such More Favorable Covenant would make such covenant less restrictive on the Issuer, such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically amended at such time, if it should occur, when such Default or Event of Default no longer exists and (ii) shall be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time as such More Favorable Covenant is deleted or otherwise removed from the applicable Material Credit Facility or such applicable Material Credit Facility ceases to be a Material Credit Facility or shall be terminated; provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists, such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time, if it should occur, when such Default or Event of Default no longer exists; provided further, however, that if any fee or other consideration shall be given to the lenders under such Material Credit Facility for such amendment or deletion, the equivalent of such fee or other consideration shall be given, pro rata, to the holders of the Notes.

(c) “Most Favored Lender Notice” means, in respect of any More Favorable Covenant, a written notice to each of the holders of the Notes delivered promptly, and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after the inclusion of such More Favorable Covenant in any Material Credit Facility (including by way of amendment or other modification of any existing provision thereof) from a Responsible Officer referring to the provisions of this Section 9.10 and setting forth a reasonably detailed description of such More Favorable Covenant (including any defined terms used therein) and related explanatory calculations, as applicable.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the covenants in Section 10.6 as of the date of this Agreement shall never be made less restrictive on the Issuer than each such covenant is as of the date of this Agreement (and as amended from time to time, other than by operation of this Section 9.10).

If the Issuer fails to comply with any provision of Section 9 on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the First Closing then a Purchaser may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of either Closing that is specified in Section 3 for the purchase of such Purchasers Notes and if the Issuer fails to comply with any provision of Section 9 on or after the First Closing and prior to the Second Closing, then a Purchaser may elect not to purchase the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the date of the Second Closing.

Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Issuer in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Issuer embodying this Section 20.

Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Issuer of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

SECTION 22.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 22.1. Successors and Assigns.

Section 22.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

Section 22.6. Governing Law.
