We have also entered into three agreements to purchase four additional hotels for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $34.8 million, although the closings of the purchases of these hotels are subject to satisfaction of customary closing requirements and conditions and there is no assurance that any will be consummated in a timely manner or at all. We have entered into an agreement to purchase a 216-room hotel located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, an agreement to purchase a 143-room hotel located in Duluth, Georgia and a 121-room hotel located in Glendale (Denver), Colorado and an agreement to purchase a 91-room hotel located in Ridgeland, Mississippi. See also “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources”

In addition to our hotel portfolio, we own 14 parcels of vacant land that we believe are suitable for the development of new hotels, the possible expansion of existing hotels or the development of restaurants in proximity to certain of our hotels.

We currently do not intend to develop new hotels or restaurants or expand any of our existing hotels at these parcels. We may in the future sell these parcels when market conditions warrant. To reduce the risk of incurring a prohibited transaction tax on any sales, we may transfer some or all of those parcels of undeveloped land to Summit TRS or another TRS.

Our Hotel Operating Agreements

Ground Leases

Four of our hotels are subject to ground lease agreements that cover all of the land underlying the respective hotel property.

●

The Comfort Inn located in Fort Smith, Arkansas is subject to a ground lease with an initial lease termination date of August 31, 2022. The initial lease term may be extended for an additional 30 years. Annual ground rent currently is $44,088 per year. Annual ground rent is adjusted every fifth year with adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. The next scheduled ground rent adjustment is January 1, 2015.

	●	The Hampton Inn located in Fort Smith, Arkansas is subject to a ground lease with an initial lease termination date of May 31, 2030 with 11, five-year renewal options. Annual ground rent currently is $145,987 per year. Annual ground rent is adjusted on June 1 of each year, with adjustments based on increases in RevPAR calculated in accordance with the terms of the ground lease.

	●	The Residence Inn by Marriott located in Portland, Oregon is subject to a ground lease with an initial lease termination date of June 30, 2084 with one option to extend for an additional 14 years. Ground rent for the initial lease term was prepaid in full at the time we acquired the leasehold interest. If the option to extend is exercised, monthly ground rent will be charged based on a formula established in the ground lease.

	●	The Hyatt Place located in Portland, Oregon is subject to a ground lease with a lease termination date of June 30, 2084 with one option to extend for an additional 14 years. Ground rent for the initial lease term was prepaid in full at the time we acquired the leasehold interest. If the option to extend is exercised, monthly ground rent will be charged based on a formula established in the ground lease.

These ground leases generally require us to make rental payments and payments for our share of charges, costs, expenses, assessments and liabilities, including real property taxes and utilities. Furthermore, these ground leases generally require us to obtain and maintain insurance covering the subject property.

Franchise Agreements

All of our hotels, except for our one independent hotel, currently operate under franchise agreements with Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt, Choice, Starwood and Country Inns & Suites By Carlson, Inc. We believe that the public’s perception of the quality associated with a brand-name hotel is an important feature in its attractiveness to guests. Franchisors provide a variety of benefits to franchisees, including centralized reservation systems, national advertising, marketing programs and publicity designed to increase brand awareness, training of personnel and maintenance of operational quality at hotels across the brand system.

The franchise agreements require our TRS lessees, as franchisees, to pay franchise fees ranging between 2% and 6% of each hotel’s gross revenue. In addition, some of our franchise agreements will require our TRS lessees to pay marketing fees of up to 4% of each hotel’s gross revenue. These agreements generally specify management, operational, record-keeping, accounting, reporting and marketing standards and procedures with which our TRS lessees, as the franchisees, must comply. The franchise agreements will obligate our TRS lessees to comply with the franchisors’ standards and requirements, including training of operational personnel, safety, maintaining specified insurance, the types of services and products ancillary to guest room services that may be provided by the TRS lessee, display of signage and the type, quality and age of furniture, fixtures and equipment included in guest rooms, lobbies and other common areas. Some of the agreements require that we deposit a set percentage, generally not more than 5% of the gross revenue of the hotels, into a reserve fund for capital expenditures.

We have agreed with certain of our franchisors to complete property improvement plans, with completion dates ranging from March 2011 to August 2015. We expect to spend approximately $20.0 million before June 30, 2012 for capital improvements pursuant to these plans. We intend to fund the cost of completing these plans with a portion of the proceeds from our IPO and concurrent private placement and other potential sources of capital, including future offerings of our securities and borrowings under our anticipated $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility.

We will be required to obtain the written consent of a hotel’s franchisor to sell a hotel or we may be required to pay franchise termination fees. The franchise agreements generally will also provide for termination at the applicable franchisor’s option upon the occurrence of certain events, including failure to pay royalties and fees or to perform other obligations under the franchise license, bankruptcy and abandonment of the franchise or a change in control or proposed sale of a franchised property. The TRS lessee that is the franchisee will be responsible for making all payments under the applicable franchise agreement to the franchisor.

Hotel Management Agreement

In order to qualify as a REIT, we cannot directly or indirectly operate any of our hotels. Our operating partnership and subsidiaries of our operating partnership lease our hotels to our TRS lessees, which engage property managers to manage our hotels. In connection with the completion of our IPO and the formation transactions in February 2011, our TRS lessees entered into a hotel management agreement for the 65 hotels in our portfolio with Interstate, as our hotel manager. We may, but we are not required to, enter into hotel management agreements with Interstate for any additional hotels that we may acquire.

Pursuant to the hotel management agreement with Interstate, our TRS lessees are required to fund working capital needs, fixed asset supplies, capital expenditures and operating expenses of the hotels. Interstate, subject to certain limited owner approval rights, has control of all operational aspects of the hotels in our portfolio, including employee-related matters. Interstate is required to maintain each hotel in good repair and condition and make such routine maintenance and repairs as are reasonably necessary or appropriate consistent with the business plan we approve.

The hotel management agreement became effective on February 14, 2011 and is for a term of ten years, unless earlier terminated as described below.

We will pay Interstate a base management fee and, if certain financial thresholds are met or exceeded, an incentive management fee.

Base Management Fee. The base management fee is 3% of total revenue for all of the hotels covered by the hotel management agreement. Total revenue is all income, revenue and proceeds resulting directly or indirectly from the operation of the hotels and all of their facilities (net of refunds and credits to guests and other allowances) before subtracting expenses.

Incentive Fee. The incentive fee is 10% of the amount by which actual aggregate EBITDA for all hotels covered by the hotel management agreement exceeds $65 million. “EBITDA” is defined as the amount by which gross operating profit (the amount by which total revenue exceed operating expenses) exceeds fixed charges. The incentive fee for any fiscal year is capped at 1.5% of the total revenue for all of the hotels covered by the hotel management agreement for that fiscal year.

In addition, Interstate will receive, on a monthly basis, a fee for the use of its centralized accounting services in an amount equal to $1,500 per hotel per month for hotels with 90 or more rooms and $1,375 per hotel per month for hotels with less than 90 rooms, subject to annual increases of the lesser of (i) the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for the previous fiscal year and (ii) 3%.

The hotel management agreement may be terminated entirely or with respect to individual hotels, as applicable, for cause, without cause, due to damage or condemnation of a hotel, on Interstate’s failure to comply with certain REIT-related provisions of the Code, upon a hotel’s underperformance, due to Interstate entering into competition with one of our hotels and upon the sale of a hotel.

Early Termination for Cause. Subject to certain qualifications, the hotel management agreement is generally terminable by either party upon the occurrence of certain events of default that continue uncured after written notice by the non-defaulting party, which generally include: non-payment by either party of any amount required by the agreement; defaults that are reasonably likely to result in a threat to the health and safety of a hotel’s employees or guests; other material defaults of obligations under the agreement; our failure to fund repairs, alterations and replacements necessary to protect against innkeeper liability exposure or comply with applicable regulation, statute or ordinance; and additional defaults, typical in similar agreements.

If an event of default occurs, the non-defaulting party generally has, among other remedies, the option of terminating the applicable hotel management agreement. If the agreement is terminated by Interstate due to our default, we will be required to pay a termination fee which would provide Interstate with a 30% Internal Rate of Return with respect to such hotel, however, solely for the first five terminations, if the effective date of such termination occurs on or before the end of the eighteenth month following the effective date of the agreement, the Internal Rate of Return shall be 20% instead of 30% (“Termination Fee”).

Early Termination—Without Cause. We may terminate the agreement with respect to up to five hotels during any fiscal year with or without cause by delivering written notice at least 60 days prior to termination, after having paid in full all amounts otherwise due to Interstate under the agreement and paying Interstate the Termination Fee with respect to such hotels.

Termination Due to Damage or Condemnation. Subject to payment of the Termination Fee with respect to such hotels, if a hotel is damaged by fire or other casualty, both we and Interstate may terminate the management agreement with respect to such hotel upon 30 days’ written notice if (i) we elect to close such hotel or determine not to proceed with the restoration of such hotel, or (ii) if 20% or more of the rooms of such hotel are unavailable for rental for a period of 60 days or more as a result of such casualty. Both we and Interstate may terminate the management agreement with respect to a hotel all or substantially all of which is taken through condemnation or, if less than all or substantially all of a hotel is taken, it is determined that the hotel, once restored, could not be operated profitably in a manner that existed immediately prior to such condemnation.

Termination on Failure of Interstate to Comply with REIT Provisions. Under the hotel management agreement, if, at any time, Interstate does not qualify as an “eligible independent contractor” for federal income tax purposes or if wagering activities are being conducted at or in connection with a hotel by any person who is engaged in the business of accepting wagers and who is legally authorized to engage in such business at or in connection with such hotel, we may, in our sole discretion, elect to terminate the management agreement immediately and without payment of any termination fee or penalty.

Performance Termination. The hotel management agreement also provides that we may terminate the management agreement with respect to a hotel upon 60 days’ written notice if, as of the end of any fiscal year, such hotel fails to achieve (i) actual gross operating profit of at least 87.5% of the budgeted gross operating profit for such hotel for such fiscal year, and (ii) 87.5% of such hotel’s RevPAR Benchmark (as defined in the agreement); provided, that such notice of termination shall be stayed and will become null and void if such hotel achieves as of the end of the following fiscal year (i) actual gross operating profit of at least 87.5% of the budget gross operating profit for such hotel or (ii) 87.5% of such hotel’s RevPAR Benchmark. Additionally, Interstate shall have the right, exercisable no more than two times per hotel, to cure a performance termination by making a payment to us equal to the amount by which 87.5% of the budgeted gross operating profit for such hotel exceeds actual gross operating profit for such hotel for such fiscal year.

Termination Due to Competitive Business. If, without our express permission, Interstate elects to own, operate, lease or otherwise have an interest in, directly or indirectly, one or more hotels in a competitive set of one of our hotels, upon 30 days’ written notice we may terminate the agreement solely with respect to that hotel without payment of any termination fee.

Sale of a Hotel. If we sell a hotel to an unaffiliated third party, we may terminate the agreement with respect to such hotel so long as we pay the Termination Fee.

Assignment. The hotel management agreement provides that neither Interstate nor we may assign its or our interest in the agreement without the other party’s prior written consent provided that Interstate may assign its rights and obligations to its affiliates (as defined in the management agreement). However, we may assign our interest without Interstate’s consent to any person acquiring the hotel and agreeing to be bound by the terms of the hotel management agreement.
