determination shall be conclusive. 
 SECTION 6 
 STOCK OPTIONS 
 6.1 Grant of Options. Options may be granted to
Participants at such time or times as shall be determined by the Committee. Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Nonstatutory Stock Options. The Committee shall have complete discretion
in determining the number of Options, if any, to be granted to a Participant. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Option agreement that shall specify the type of Option granted, the exercise price, the duration of the Option, the number of shares
of Stock to which the Option pertains, the exercisability (if any) of the Option in the event of death, retirement, disability or termination of employment, and such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall
determine. 
 6.2 Option Price. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall
have an exercise price which is not less than the Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted. Options may not be repriced. 
 6.3 Exercise of Options. Options awarded to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times and shall be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee may impose,
subject to the Committee’s right to accelerate the exercisability of such Option in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable for more than ten years after the date on which it is granted. 

6.4 Payment. The Committee shall establish procedures governing the exercise of Options, which shall require that written notice
of exercise be given and that the Option price be paid in full in cash or cash equivalents, including by personal check, at the time of exercise or pursuant to any arrangement that the Committee shall approve. The Committee may, in its discretion,
permit a Participant to make payment (i) by tendering, either by actual delivery of shares or by attestation, shares of Stock already owned by the Participant valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise (if such Stock has been owned
by the Participant for at least six months) or (ii) by electing to have the Company retain Stock which would otherwise be issued on exercise of the Option, valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. As soon as practicable after
receipt of a written exercise notice and full payment of the exercise price, the Company shall deliver to the Participant a certificate or certificates representing the acquired shares of Stock. 

6.5 Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no term of this Plan relating to Incentive
Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of any Participant
affected thereby, to cause any Incentive Stock Option previously granted to fail to qualify for the Federal income tax treatment afforded under Section 421 of the Code.

 SECTION 7 
 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
 7.1 SAR’s In Tandem with Options.
Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants in tandem with any Option granted under the Plan, either at or after the time of the grant of such Option, subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the
Plan, as the Committee shall determine. Each Stock Appreciation Right shall only be exercisable to the extent that the corresponding Option is exercisable, and shall terminate upon termination or exercise of the corresponding Option. Upon the
exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right, the corresponding Option shall terminate. 
 7.2 Other Stock Appreciation
Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may also be granted to Participants separately from any Option, subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. 

SECTION 8 

RESTRICTED STOCK 
 8.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. The Committee may grant Restricted Stock to Participants at such times and in such amounts, and subject to such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the
Plan as it shall determine. Each grant of Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions, which may relate to continued employment with the Company, performance of the Company, or other restrictions, as the Committee may determine. Each
grant of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by a written agreement setting forth the terms of such Award. 
 8.2 Removal of
Restrictions. The Committee may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part at any time in its discretion.

 10.1 General. The Board may from time to time amend, modify or terminate any or all of the provisions of the Plan, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Board may not change the
Plan in a manner which would prevent outstanding Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan from being Incentive Stock Options without the consent of the optionees concerned. Furthermore, the Board may not make any amendment which would
(i) materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan, (ii) increase the number of shares of Stock subject to Awards under the Plan or to any one Employee pursuant to Section 5.1, or (iii) change the minimum
exercise price for Stock Options as provided in Section 6.2, in each case without the consent and approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Stock entitled to vote thereon. No amendment or modification shall affect the
rights of any Employee with respect to a previously granted Award, nor shall any amendment or modification affect the rights of any Eligible Director pursuant to a previously granted Director Award. 

10.2 Termination of Plan. No further Options shall be granted under the Plan subsequent to December 31, 2015, or such earlier
date as may be determined by the Board.

 SECTION 11 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 11.1 Beneficiary Designation. Each
Participant under the Plan may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingent or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid or by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of
his death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed in writing with the Committee. In the absence of any such designation,
Awards outstanding at death may be exercised by the Participant’s surviving spouse, if any, or otherwise by his estate, subject to the terms and conditions of the Award. 
 11.2 No Guarantee of Employment or Participation. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s
employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. No Employee shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to receive any future Awards.

 11.3 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power to withhold, or require a Participant remit to the Company, an
amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements on any Award under the Plan, and the Company may defer issuance of Stock until such requirements are satisfied. The Committee may, in its discretion, permit a
Participant to elect, subject to such conditions as the Committee shall impose, (i) to have shares of Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan withheld by the Company or (ii) to deliver to the Company previously acquired shares of Stock, in
each case having a Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy all or part of the Participant’s estimated total federal, state and local tax obligation associated with the transaction. 

11.4 Change of Control. On the date of a Change of Control, all outstanding options and stock appreciation rights shall become
immediately exercisable and all restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock shall lapse. “Change of Control” shall mean: 
 (i) The acquisition (other than from the Company) by any person, entity or “group”, within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Act (excluding any acquisition or holding by
(i) the Company or its subsidiaries or (ii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or its subsidiaries which acquires beneficial ownership of voting securities of the Company) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3

of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be, for purposes of this Plan, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or 

(iii) Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, in each case, with respect to which persons who were the stockholders of
the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the reorganized, merged or
consolidated company’s then outstanding voting securities, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 

11.5 Company Intent. The Company intends that the Plan comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3 under the Act, and any ambiguities
or inconsistencies in the construction of the Plan shall be interpreted to give effect to such intention.

 6FORM OF STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 Exhibit 10.32 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT made this (Grant Date),
between Supertel Hospitality, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Company”), and (Holder Name), (an employee / a director) of the Company (“Holder”). 
 The Company desires, by affording the Holder an opportunity to purchase its common shares as hereinafter provided, to carry out the purpose of the Supertel 2006 Stock Plan (the “Plan”). This
option is expressly designated not to be an Incentive Stock Option as defined in I.R.C. §422A. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby irrevocably grants to the Holder, pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Plan, the right and option, hereinafter called the “Option,” to purchase all
or any part of an aggregate of (            ) shares of common stock (the “Common Shares”) of the Company (such number being subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 7
hereof) on the terms and conditions herein set forth. The holder of the Option shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares covered by the Option until one or more certificates for such shares shall be delivered to
such holder upon the due exercise of the Option. 
 2. Purchase Price. The purchase price of the Common Shares covered by the
Option shall be ($             ) per share. The purchase price of the shares as to which the Option shall be exercised shall be paid in full in cash at the time of exercise or, with the
approval of the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”), the purchase price may be paid (1) in common stock of the Company already owned by the Holder valued at fair market value
on the date of exercise (if such common stock has been owned by the Holder for at least six months) or (2) by the Holder remitting such amount by an appropriate reduction of the number of shares to be delivered to the Holder upon exercise
(valued at fair market value on the date of exercise). 
 3. Term of Option. The term of the Option shall be for a period of
years from the date hereof, subject to earlier termination as provided in Paragraphs 5 & 6 hereof. 
 4.
Non-Transferability. The Option shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and the Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Holder, only by such Holder. More particularly (but without
limiting the generality of the foregoing), the Option may not be assigned, transferred (except as provided above), pledged or hypothecated in any way, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or
similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the Option shall be null and void and
without effect. 
 5. Exercisability. This Option shall be exercisable and ending on . If Holder is an employee of the Company,
in the event of any termination of the Holder’s employment (voluntary or involuntary) prior to (Date of Expiration), any portion of this Option not exercisable upon the date of such termination shall never become exercisable (except as provided
in Section 6). 

 The Option may be exercised, at any time or from time to time, as to any part or all the shares exercisable;
provided, however, that the Option may not be exercised as to less than one hundred (100) shares at any one time (or the remaining shares then purchasable under the Option, if less than one hundred (100) shares). The Option may not be
exercised unless at the date of exercise a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the shares covered by the Option shall be in effect or the Company shall have determined that an exemption from such
registration is available. Subject to the extension of the exercise periods set forth in Paragraph 6 hereof, the Option may not be exercised at any time unless the Holder shall have been in the continuous employ of the Company or a subsidiary from
the time hereof to the date of the exercise of the Option. 
 6. Termination of Employment. If holder is an employee, in the
event that the employment of the Holder shall be terminated (other than by reason of death), the Option may, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 5 hereof, be exercised by the Holder (to the extent that the Holder shall have been entitled to do so
at the termination of employment) at or prior to the time of such termination; provided, if the Holder is terminated by the Company without Cause, the Holder shall have ninety (90) days following such termination to exercise all options
exercisable on the date of termination and if the employment of the Holder terminates by reason of the retirement of the Holder at or reaching age 55 and having completed five years of service, the Holder shall have one (1) year following such
retirement to exercise all options exercisable on the date of such retirement. In the event of such Holder’s death or total disability (using the definition of total disability of the Company’s long-term disability plan), the Option may,
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 5 hereof, be exercised by the personal representative of the Holder’s estate (to the extent the Holder would have been entitled to do so as of the date of death) or the Holder in the case of disability at
any time within ninety (90) days following the date of the Holder’s death or termination of employment due to total disability (but not more than the term of this Option). So long as such Holder shall continue to be an employee of the
Company, or an affiliate, or a subsidiary the Option shall not be affected by any change of duties or position. Nothing in this Option Agreement shall confer upon a Holder any right to continue in the employ of the Company or interfere in any way
with the right of the Company to terminate his/her employment at any time. The transfer of employment between any combination of the Company and any affiliate or subsidiary shall not be deemed a termination of employment. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Cause” shall include the Holder’s negligence, neglect of duty, incompetence, dishonesty, violation of any of the terms of the Holder’s employment agreement (if any) and the Holder’s indictment, conviction or plea
of guilty or nolo contendere to a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or a felony. 
 7. Adjustment in Capitalization. If any
adjustment in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 5.3 of the Plan occurs, appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Compensation Committee to the number of shares and price per share of stock subject to this Option.

 8. Method of Exercising Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement, the Option may be exercised by
written notice to the Company, care of its Chief Financial Officer, 309 North 5th Street, Norfolk, Nebraska 68701. Such notice shall state the election to execute the Option and the number of shares in respect of which it is being exercised, and
shall be signed by the person or persons so exercising the Option. Such notice shall either: (a) be accompanied by payment of the full purchase price of such shares, in which event the Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates
representing such shares as soon as 

  
 2 

 
practicable after the notice shall be received; or (b) fix a date (not less than five (5) nor more than ten (10) business days from the date such notice shall be received by the
Chief Financial Officer) for the payment of the full purchase price of such shares at the Company’s Transfer Agent Offices, against delivery of a certificate or certificates representing such shares. Payment of such purchase price shall, in
either case, be made by check payable to the order of the Company or, if applicable pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof with the consent of the Compensation Committee, the transfer of the appropriate shares of stock or reduction of the appropriate number
of shares to be delivered upon exercise of the Option. The certificate or certificates for the shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be registered in the name of the person or persons so exercising the Option (or, if the
Option shall be exercised by the Holder and if the Holder shall so request in the notice exercising the Option, shall be registered in the name of the Holder and another person jointly, with right of survivorship or in the name of the Holder’s
spouse) and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon the written order of the person or persons exercising the Option. All shares that shall be purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and
non-assessable. 
 As a condition of the issuance of shares hereunder, the Holder agrees to remit to the Company at the time of any exercise of
this Option any taxes required to be withheld by the Company under federal, state or local law as a result of exercise. With the approval of the Committee, the Holder may remit such amount by an appropriate reduction of the number of shares to be
delivered to the Holder upon exercise, or by the Holder delivering sufficient shares of common stock of the Company valued at its fair market value (if such common stock has been owned by the Holder for at least six months). 

9. General. The Company shall at all times during the term of the Option reserve and keep available such number of Common Shares as will
be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Option Agreement, shall pay all original issue and transfer taxes with respect to the issue and transfer of shares pursuant hereto and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company
in connection therewith, and will use its best efforts to comply with all laws and regulations which shall be applicable thereto. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Holder have signed this Option Agreement effective as of the day and year first above written.
