2. Modification of Current Loan Documents. In addition to any and all other modifications made by this Modification, the Current
Loan Documents relating to the Loan are further modified as follows: 
 (a) Prepayment Fee Deferral.
Lender agrees to defer the Prepayment Fee payable under the Loan Documents with respect to any prepayment of the Loan by Borrower with the proceeds of the sale of real and personal property at any Masters Inn Hotel (Loan 4). Each such Loan
prepayment is hereinafter referred to as a “Prepaid Loan” and the cumulative amount of deferred Prepayment Fees is hereinafter referred to as the “Deferred Charges.” The Lender’s agreement to
defer Prepayment Fees is conditioned upon the following: (i) no event or circumstance shall have occurred and be continuing, that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would be an Event of Default under any of the Loan
Documents at the time of the Prepaid Loan, (ii) Lender’s agreement to defer Prepayment Fees applies only to prepayments from the proceeds of Borrower’s sale of any Masters Inn Hotel pledged to secure the Loan and (iii) Borrower
shall have remitted to Lender as a Prepaid Loan the Prepaid Loan Amount (as defined on Appendix 1) for the Masters Inn Hotel Site sold. All Deferred Charges shall be subject to a Deferral Fee (as set out below) and the entire amount of
unpaid Deferred Charges shall be due and payable on January 1, 2012. 
 (b) Deferral Fee. Borrower
agrees to pay Lender a per annum fee in advance equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of the then aggregate Deferred Charges on each Prepaid Loan (each, a “Deferral Fee”). Deferral Fees shall be payable for each
Prepaid Loan as follows: 
 (i) for any Prepaid Loan occurring during calendar year 2010, (A) at the time of
the Prepaid Loan, a pro rata portion of the Deferral Fee based upon the ratio calculated as the remaining days in the year 2010 divided by 360 days and (B) the remainder of the Deferral Fee on January 1, 2011; and 

(ii) for any Prepaid Loan occurring during calendar year 2011, at the time of the Prepaid Loan, a pro rata portion of the
Deferral Fee shall be paid based upon the ratio calculated as the remaining days in the year 2011 divided by 360 days. 

(c) Financial Covenant Change. The financial covenant identified in Section 6.J. of each Loan Agreement shall be
amended and restated for the period set forth below, after which the financial covenants will revert to the provisions set forth in the Loan Agreement (as modified by the Previous Modifications):

Covenant Level
	Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) Covenant	  	October 1, 2009 through

	  	Replaced by EBITDA

covenant set out below



For the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and the fiscal years ending December 31, 2010 and 2011 only, the required FCCR ratio is
replaced by a required minimum Total Adjusted EBITDA (as defined on Appendix 1) amount measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter (each, a “Required Minimum EBITDA Amount”). The Required Minimum EBITDA Amount

	4836-5755-6997.4	  		  	









 
March 31, 2010 through December 31, 2011 shall be $3,900,000. The Required Minimum EBITDA Amount for any fiscal quarter end after the sale of a one or more Sites shall be reduced by the
same percentage as each such Site’s Total Adjusted EBITDA bears to the Total Adjusted EBITDA for all Sites, provided that (i) in no event shall the sale of a Site reduce Total Adjusted EBITDA by more than ten percent (10%), (ii) no
event or circumstance shall have occurred and be continuing, that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would be an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, (iii) all net sale proceeds of a Site shall be applied
by Borrower to reduce the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender (other than Deferred Charges) (with respect to such Site and, to the extent of any remaining net sale proceeds, to reduce indebtedness to Lender on one or more other Sites) and
(iv) in no event shall Lender release its lien on a Site for less than Lender’s allocated loan amount to that Site. For all fiscal quarters commencing January 1, 2012, Borrower will be required to meet the FCCR Covenant requirements
as specified in the Global Amendment. 
 (d) Amendment to Supertel Hospitality Guaranty. The Supertel
Hospitality Guaranty is hereby amended as follows: 
 (i) The term “Borrower” as defined in
Section 1 and Exhibit A of the Supertel Hospitality Guaranty is amended to mean, collectively, Supertel Limited Partnership, a Virginia limited partnership, and SPPR - South Bend, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

charges, plus the proceeds of property sales net of costs of sale and retirement of debt allocated to the property sold, divided by (B) the sum of interest payments and payments of principal on amortizable debt scheduled to be paid during the
fiscal quarter testing period. For all fiscal quarters beginning in fiscal year 2012 and thereafter, “Debt Service Coverage” shall mean Adjusted EBITDA divided by the sum of interest payments and payments of principal on amortizable debt
scheduled to be paid during the fiscal quarter testing period. “EBITDA” shall mean earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization . “Adjusted EBITDA” shall mean EBITDA plus minority interest and cash
dividend distributions paid on preferred stock.
