ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

American Mortgage Acceptance Company, a Massachusetts real estate investment trust (the “Company”) and CharterMac AMI Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the advisor of the Company (the “Advisor”), originally entered into an Advisory Services Agreement dated as of March 29, 1993, as amended and restated effective April 6, 1999, as amended on November 29, 2001, February 8, 2002, November 12, 2003 and June 9, 2004, respectively, and as further amended and restated pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Advisory Services Agreement dated as of March 28, 2006, (as so amended and amended and restated, the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Advisor is entitled to receive an annual incentive management fee (the “Annual Incentive Fee”).

In connection with the acquisition of loans intended to be held on balance sheet, AMAC enters into fair value hedges which could produce significant non-cash gains or losses that are recorded in AMAC’s Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”). Currently, under the terms of the Agreement, the Annual Incentive Fee is based on a calculation of the AFFO which is not adjusted to exclude the impact of gains or losses associated with changes in the value of fair value hedges. On July 26, 2006, the Company’s board of trustees, including a majority of its independent trustees, approved, and the Company and the Advisor signed, the Amendment to the Agreement, as filed with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1, in order to exclude non-cash gains or losses due to the recording of fair value hedges in order to more accurately reflect the true intent of the Annual Incentive Fee arrangement.
