This Modification and the other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, the E-Transmission of an executed signature page (by E-Signature or otherwise) to this Modification or any other Loan Document shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.  The Parties may (but are not required to) transmit or otherwise make or communicate any Loan Document as an E-Transmission, except that Borrower and the other Credit Parties shall deliver, as a further condition to Closing, live pen and ink signatures for those Loan Documents to be delivered on or before Closing, that Lender, in its sole discretion, designates as requiring such live signatures.  From time to time after Closing, Borrower and each other Credit Party agree to deliver to Lender, upon Lender’s request, a live pen and ink signature page for any Loan Document.  Where this Modification or any other Loan Document, including any executed signature pages, is communicated by E-Transmission:  (a) this Modification, such other Loan Document and such signature pages shall conclusively be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “writing,” “authentication,”  “signature,” or “original” pursuant to any Loan Document or Applicable Law and shall be admissible as an original in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Modification or any of the other Loan Documents; and (b) each such E-Transmission  shall have the same legal effect as a live pen and ink signed paper original.  None of Lender, Borrower or any other Credit Party shall contest the validity or enforceability of this Modification, or such other Loan Document, on the basis that this Modification, such other Loan Document, or one or more signatures hereto or thereto were the subject of an E-Transmission or executed by an E-Signature; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit a party's right to contest whether this Modification or such other Loan Document has been altered after E-Transmission or whether the E-Transmission was delivered to an appropriate representative of Lender.  “E-Transmission” means the communication of any document, including signature pages, by e-mail or any system used to receive or transmit faxes electronically.  “E-Signature” means the process of attaching to or logically associating with an E-Transmission an electronic symbol, encryption, digital signature or process (including the name or an abbreviation of the name of the party transmitting the E-Transmission) with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such E-Transmission.
		

		
			Entire Agreement; Further Assurances.  The Loan Documents contain the entire understanding and agreement of BORROWER, the OTHER Credit Parties and Lender in respect of the Loan and supersede all prior representations, warranties, agreements and understandings.  No course of dealing between Borrower, any other Credit Party or any Affiliate of Borrower or any other Credit Party on the one hand, and Lender or any of its Affiliates on the other hand, shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of the Loan Documents.  Borrower and each other Credit Party shall execute, acknowledge (as appropriate) and deliver to Lender such additional agreements, documents and instruments as Lender reasonably requires to carry out the intent of this Modification.

			Exhibit 10.5

		

		
			EIGHTH AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT
		

		
			 
		

		
			This Eighth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the "Eighth Amendment") is entered into effective as of July 31, 2013 by and between SUPERTEL HOSPITALITY, INC., a Virginia corporation ("Borrower") and GREAT WESTERN BANK, a South Dakota corporation ("Bank").  
		

		
			 
		

		
			WHEREAS, on or about December 3, 2008, Borrower and Bank entered into that certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, pursuant to which Bank agreed to make certain Loans to Borrower (said Amended and Restated Loan Agreement as amended by any and all modifications or amendments thereto executed by Borrower and Bank are hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement"; terms used, but not defined herein, have the meanings set forth in the Agreement); and 
		

		
			 
		

		
			WHEREAS, Borrower and Bank have agreed to amend certain terms and conditions in the Agreement. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
		

		
			 
		

		
			SECTION 1.  Amendment to Section 4.01.  Section 4.01 is hereby amended by amending and restating Sections 4.0(G) in its entirety all as follows: 
		

		
			 
		

		
			(G)Loan Debt Service Coverage Ratio.  Borrower shall, at all times, maintain a "Debt Service Coverage Ratio" (Adjusted Net Operating Income divided by Imputed Debt Service) of at least 1.20 to 1.00, which shall be tested at the end of each month commencing with July 31, 2013.  "Adjusted Net Operating Income" is defined as the net operating income of Borrower for the Hotels owned by the Hotel Owners as of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter, for the preceding twelve (12) month period, minus (a) an amount equal to four percent (4%) of gross room revenues from the Hotels owned by the Hotel Owners as of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter for furniture, fixtures and equipment reserve and (b) an amount equal to four percent (4%) of gross room revenues from the Hotels owned by the Hotel Owners as of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter for management fees and expenses.  "Imputed Debt Service" is defined as (a) the actual principal and interest payments on Term Loan 2 and Term Loan 4 required for the twelve (12) month period following the applicable fiscal quarter and (b) the annual principal and interest payments required to fully amortize the total maximum amount that can be advanced to Borrower under the Revolving Loan, regardless of the amount of the Revolving Loan that has been advanced to Borrower, based on a twenty (20) year amortization using the then current Revolving Loan Interest Rate.  If the Debt Service Coverage Ratio falls below the requirement set forth in this paragraph, the Borrowing Base shall be decreased so that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio meets the ratio set forth in this paragraph, and any principal advanced in excess of the

			Eighth Amendment to Amended and 

		

		

			Restated Loan Agreement

		

		

			DOCS/1205909.2 

		

 

		Borrowing Base amount will be immediately due and payable.  Borrower may request approval from Bank, which Bank may approve or disapprove at its discretion, to pledge additional real estate as Collateral for the Loans to maintain compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Loan Documents or to cure any non-compliance with any of the affirmative covenants in this Agreement.  The request for approval to add additional Collateral shall not be deemed to affect in any manner Bank's rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for the failure of Borrower to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.  With respect to each parcel that will be substituted as Collateral for the Loans, the requirements of Section 2.03 of this Agreement must be met to Bank's satisfaction as to such parcel prior to such parcel being added as Collateral.
		

		
			 
		

		
			SECTION 2.  Hotel Release Price.  Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Agreement to the contrary, in the event (i) a Hotel Owner enters into a purchase agreement to sell a Hotel to an unrelated third party and (ii) at the time of closing such sale there is no Event of Default or event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice or both, would be an Event of Default, then Bank will release its lien on such Hotel upon receipt of the greater of (i) the release price for such Hotel as set forth on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and (ii) the "Net Proceeds" from the sale of such Hotel.  "Net Proceeds" are defined as the gross sales price, less reasonable and customary closing costs and sales commission.
		

		
			 
		

		
			SECTION 3.  Deferred Payments.  The Hotel Owner has entered into a purchase agreement to sell the Hotel located at 1710 Jefferson Street, Jefferson City, Missouri (the "Jefferson City Hotel").  Borrower anticipates that the Net Proceeds will be $1,201,250, which is less than the minimum release price of $1,415,574 as set forth on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.  At the closing on the sale, Bank will release its lien on the Jefferson City Hotel upon receipt of the Net Proceeds in the estimated amount of $1,201,250.  By December 31, 2013, Borrower shall pay to Bank the difference between the minimum release price of $1,415,574 and the actual Net Proceeds received by Bank at closing.  Bank and Borrower estimate such difference will be $214,324. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Hotel Owner has entered into a purchase agreement to the sell the Hotel located at 11610 West Dodge Road, Omaha, Nebraska (the "West Dodge Road Hotel").  Borrower anticipates the Net Proceeds will be $1,505,000, which is in excess of the minimum release price of $1,415,574 set forth on Exhibit "A" attached hereto. At the closing on the sale, Bank will release its lien on the West Dodge Road Hotel upon receipt of the minimum release price in the amount of $1,415,574.  By December 31, 2013, Borrower shall pay to Bank the difference between the actual Net Proceeds received by Borrower at closing and $1,415,574.  Bank and Borrower estimate such difference will be $89,426.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Borrower's failure to pay the sums referred to in this Section 3 by December 31, 2013 shall constitute an "Event of Default" under the Agreement.  Bank shall have no obligation to provide Borrower with notice and opportunity to cure such default, and can immediately exercise all rights and remedies referred to in the Agreement.  Furthermore, Bank's agreement to defer payment of all sums due as described in Section 2 of this Amendment shall be effective only in the specific instance for which it was made, and shall not obligate Bank to defer receipt of the

			(c)No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Eighth Amendment or the Agreement, as amended hereby.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)This Eighth Amendment and the Agreement, as amended hereby, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditor's rights in general or general principles of equity.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)There is no pending or threatened action or proceeding affecting Borrower before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, which may materially adversely affect the financial condition or operations of Borrower.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(f)No Event of Default listed in Section 5.01 of the Agreement has occurred and is continuing.
		

		
			 
		

		
			SECTION 6.Reference to and Effect on the Agreement.  
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)On and after the date hereof, each reference in the Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereunder" "hereof", "herein" or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Agreement as amended hereby.
