in Section 3.1.3 and this Section 4.1) in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (the “First Pool Closing Date”); and”
		
	b.
	The final paragraph of Section 4.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 


“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion (and without prejudice to any of its rights under this Agreement), to (A)(x) extend the First Pool Closing Date for a period of up to 10 Business Days following September 30, 2015 upon prior written notice to Sellers given at least 10 days prior to September 30, 2015 and (y) if the extension set forth in clause (A)(x) above is exercised by Purchaser, upon 5 days’ prior written notice to Sellers, and subject to the approval of Sellers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), extend the First Pool Closing Date for a period of up to an additional 15 days and (B) extend the Second Pool Closing Date for a period of up to the earlier of (i) March 7, 2016 and (ii) 180 days after the First Pool Closing Date upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice to Sellers.”

The Purchase Price shall be reduced by $2,433,048 (such reduction to be allocated among the Hotel Assets by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the Seller PIP Estimate in respect of such Hotel Assets and the denominator of which is the Seller PIP Estimate for all the Hotel Assets).”
		
	3.
	Amendment to Section 4.7.7.  Section 4.7.7 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the words “[Reserved]”.


		
	4.
	Amendment to Section 4.7.8.  Section 4.7.8 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:


“Since the Hotel Assets are to be acquired in multiple closings, the Purchase Price adjustment pursuant to Section 4.7.6 shall be allocated as follows:
$1,298,919 at the First Pool Closing and $1,134,129 at the Second Pool Closing.  











		
	5.
	Amendment to Schedule 2.  In order to reflect the adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2 of this letter agreement, Schedule 2 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Schedule 2 to this letter agreement.


		
	6.
	Amendment to Exhibit I.  Exhibit I of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the words “[Reserved]”.


		
	7.
	Required Expenditures.  During the period following August 21, 2015 until the date of the final closing under the Agreement and the Other Summit Agreement (as defined below), the Sellers party hereto, together with the sellers party to the other Purchase and Sale Agreement with Purchaser dated as of June 2, 2015 (the “Other Summit Agreement”), agree to incur and spend an aggregate of $500,000 for third party out-of-pocket expenditures contemplated by the Required PIPs (“PIP Expenditures”).  For the avoidance of doubt, PIP Expenditures shall not include overhead or other internal expenses of Sellers or Summit and shall be without profit or markup to Sellers or Summit but shall include third party costs associated with shipping, delivery and labor for installation.   All PIP Expenditures shall be documented and Sellers shall provide Purchaser with reasonable evidence of all PIP Expenditures promptly following the making of such expenditures.  In the event that at the Second Closing the aggregate documented PIP Expenditures incurred and expended following the date of this letter agreement are less than $500,000, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the applicable Purchase Price at the Second Pool Closing in the amount of such deficiency.  If the Agreement is terminated prior to the Second Pool Closing Date for any reason other than a default by Purchaser, the Sellers and the sellers under the Other Summit Agreement shall jointly and severally pay such deficiency to Purchaser within 2 Business Days following such termination.  Summit hereby guarantees to Purchaser the due and punctual payment and performance of Sellers’ obligations under this Section 7, and the sellers under the Other Summit Agreement are concurrently herewith executing a letter agreement with Purchaser to confirm their obligations hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the aggregate documented PIP Expenditures are greater than $500,000, there shall be no increase in the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section.


		
	8.
	Amendment to Section 8.2.1(h).  Section 8.2.1(h) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the words “[Reserved]”.
