Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Agreement.
On May 1, 2017, Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc. (the "Company") announced that the Company, through Condor Hospitality Limited Partnership, the Company's operating partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), had entered into an agreement on April 29, 2017 with SI Lake Mary, LP to purchase a Hampton Inn and Suites for $19,250,000.  The hotel has 130 rooms and is located in Lake Mary, Florida, a part of the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is expected that the hotel will continue to be managed by the current manager, Peachtree Hospitality Management, LLC.
The purchase agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by this reference. The aggregate purchase price for the hotel will be paid with a combination of cash and debt, and limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership having an aggregate dollar value equal to no less than $85,000 and not more than $300,000, the amount to be elected by the seller.  The purchase price will increase by up to an additional $250,000 if trailing 12-month net operating income for a specified period equals or exceeds certain amounts.
Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company deposited $150,000 in escrow toward the purchase price of the hotel, and following the due diligence period, the Company will deposit an additional $150,000 in escrow for the hotel.  The Company will conduct due diligence of the hotel, including inspections, environmental surveys and engineering studies.  The Company may terminate the agreement, in its sole discretion, with or without cause, prior to June 13, 2017, the end of the initial due diligence period, and the initial escrow deposit with respect to the terminated agreement will be returned to the Operating Partnership.  The due diligence period may be extended by the Company for an additional 15 days to accommodate, among other things, franchise approval.  Closing on the purchase of the hotel is to occur no later than 30 days after the due diligence period, subject to an extension of 15 days if certain conditions to the Company's obligation to consummate the purchase of the hotel are not met at the time of the scheduled closing.
The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including accuracy of representations and warranties and compliance with covenants and obligations under the purchase agreement.

In connection with the purchase of the hotel, partial consideration for the purchase price of the hotel will include limited partnership units issued by the Operating Partnership, having an aggregate dollar value equal to no less than $85,000 and not more than $300,000, the amount to be elected by the seller.
The Operating Partnership limited partnership units, if issued, will be issued to the seller of the hotel in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof, as such issuance of securities will not be made in a public offering, neither the Company or the Operating Partnership engaged in general solicitation or advertising, the units were not offered to the public in connection with this transaction, and the seller of the hotel is an accredited investor.

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
(Hampton Inn & Suites – 850 Village Oak Lane, Lake Mary, Florida)
THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (including all exhibits and schedules, this " Agreement ") is made and entered into as of April 29, 2017 (the " Effective Date ") by and among SI LAKE MARY, LP , a Georgia limited partnership (the " Seller ") and CONDOR HOSPITALITY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP , a Virginia limited partnership (" Purchaser " or " Operating Partnership ").
RECITALS
A.   Seller is the owner of a 130 key, five story Hampton Inn & Suites, located on the Real Property and having an address of 850 Village Oak Lane, Lake Mary, Florida, which includes, among other things a lobby and breakfast area, 800 square feet of meeting space, fitness center, business center, 136 dedicated exclusive surface parking spaces and other amenities on the Real Property (collectively, the " Hotel ").
B.   The Hotel is being managed by Peachtree Hospitality Management, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the " Manager ").
C.   The Hotel is being operated pursuant to a franchise/license agreement (the " Franchise Agreement ") between Seller and Hilton Worldwide (the " Franchisor ").
D.   Purchaser desires to acquire the Property from Seller and Seller desires to transfer the Property to Purchaser in exchange for, among other things, cash consideration and units of limited partner interests (the " OP Units ") in Operating Partnership, and Purchaser desires to pay such cash consideration and issue such OP Units in exchange for the Property, as more particularly described herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, and the mutual undertakings set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
PURCHASE AND SALE
 
Section 1.1   Purchase and Sale .  Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Property.  At the Closing, Seller shall contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall assume, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Exceptions, all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Property and the obligations with respect thereto.
Section 1.2   Deposit; Purchase Price .  The Purchase Price to be paid by Seller for the Property shall be Nineteen Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($19,250,000.00) (the " Purchase Price ").  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
(a)   Within three (3) Business Days following the date hereof, Purchaser shall deliver to  HBI Title Inc. (the " Title Company ") (in such capacity, the Title Company shall hereinafter be referred to as " Escrow Agent ") a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds in an amount equal to One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) (the " Initial Deposit "), which Initial Deposit shall be held and disbursed by Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 9 herein.
(b)   To the extent this Agreement is not terminated, or deemed terminated, on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in accordance with Section 2.3 herein, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent, within one (1) Business Day following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds in an additional amount equal to One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) (the " Additional Deposit ") which Additional Deposit shall be held and disbursed by Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 9 herein.  Until such time as the Additional Deposit is made in accordance with this Section, the Initial Deposit together with any interest earned thereon shall be deemed the " Deposit " herein, and upon making the Additional Deposit in accordance with this Section, the Initial Deposit together with the Additional Deposit and any interest earned thereon shall be deemed the " Deposit " herein.  Purchaser agrees to promptly deliver, or to cause Escrow Agent to deliver, a written acknowledgment by Escrow Agent that the Deposit has been received by and is being held by Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  To the extent the Closing occurs in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Deposit shall be applied toward Purchaser's obligation to pay the Purchase Price to Seller.
(c)   At Closing, the balance of Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant to the prorations, apportionments and credits required herein), shall be paid in cash by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds (" Cash Consideration ") to Escrow Agent's account for the benefit of the Seller or to the account or accounts of such other party or parties as may be designated by Seller on or before the Closing Date; provided however , a portion of the Purchase Price shall be made by the issuance to Seller of OP Units having an aggregate dollar value equal to not less than Eighty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($85,000.00) and not more than Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) (" OP Unit Consideration "). Subject to the above minimum and maximum thresholds, Seller shall provide written notice to Purchaser specifying the value of the OP Unit Consideration (as elected by Seller in its sole discretion) on the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date (the " OP Value Notice ").  The number of OP Units delivered to Seller on the Closing Date shall be equal to (i) the OP Unit Consideration, divided by the volume weighted average of the closing prices of the common shares of Condor Hospitality Trust Inc. (the " REIT ") as reported by NASDAQ, or the stock exchange on which common shares are then listed, for the trailing three (3) trading days immediately preceding announcement date of this Agreement multiplied by (ii) fifty-two (52).
(d)   Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in good faith to arrive at a mutually acceptable allocation of the Purchase Price among the Improvements, the Personal Property and other customary items either party hereto may request to be allocated (the " Allocation ").  If the Allocation cannot be agreed upon, each party may use its own determination and bear any consequences related thereto and Seller's allocation shall be utilized in calculating transfer, sales and similar tax and related filings under this Agreement.  If agreed upon, Seller and Purchaser agree to (i) be bound by the Allocation and (ii) act in accordance with the Allocation in the preparation of financial statements and filing of all tax returns.
(e)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchase Price shall be increased (which increase may occur either prior to, or post-Closing) by an amount up to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) (the " Contingent Purchase Price ") in the event the twelve (12) month trailing Net Operating Income for the Hotel equals or exceeds One Million Six Hundred Fifty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($1,657,500.00), (the " CPP NOI ") as measured by the financial reports for the period ending the earlier of (i) December 31, 2017, or (ii) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days from and after the Closing Date (as the same may be extended) (the " CPP Date "), which financial reports shall be finalized within thirty (30) days of the CPP Date.  At the CPP Date, if the trailing twelve (12) month Net Operating Income is less than the CPP NOI, the difference between the measured Net Operating Income and the CPP NOI shall be divided by 8.5% and that resulting product will be subtracted from the Contingent Purchase Price which shall be due to the Seller.  For illustration purposes only, if the trailing twelve (12) month Net Operating Income at the CPP Date is $1,645,000.00, the difference between that amount and the CPP NOI is $12,500.  Therefore, the amount due Seller as the Contingent Purchase Price will be $102,941.18, which is calculated by dividing $12,500 by 8.5%, equaling $147,058.82 and subtracting that amount from $250,000.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the trailing twelve (12) month Net Operating Income at the CPP Date is an amount that would result in the Contingent Purchase Price (calculated as provided above) being less than $100,000.00, then Seller shall not be entitled to (and Purchaser shall have no obligation to pay) any portion of the Contingent Purchase Price (i.e., the Contingent Purchase Price will be deemed to be $0). Prior to the CPP Date, Purchaser shall not exercise its option to terminate the New Management Agreement as set forth therein, provided there is no event of default thereunder.  Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 1.2(e), Purchaser shall pay the Contingent Purchase Price to Seller within ten (10) Business Days following Purchaser's receipt of notice from Seller.  " Net Operating Income " shall have the meaning set forth in the New Management Agreement , provided however, for the purpose of calculating the Net Operating Income, notwithstanding the provisions of the New Management Agreement, when calculating Adjusted  Operating Expenses (also as defined in the New Management Agreement), all insurance premiums, the standard franchise fees before any discounts, all Hotel real estate and personal property taxes, four percent (4%) reserve for Hotel FF&E, and any Incentive Fees (as defined in the New Management Agreement) shall be included as Adjusted Operating Expenses when determining the Net Operating Income for the purposes of this Section 1.2 (e).

Section 1.3   Tax Treatment of Contribution .  The parties hereto intend and agree that, for federal income tax purposes, the contributions, transfers, conveyances and assignments of a Seller's interest in the Property for OP Units shall be treated as contributions of interests in the Property by Seller to Purchaser  in accordance with Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the " Code ").
Section 1.4   Apportionments .
(a)   The following shall be apportioned and/or addressed between Seller and Purchaser at the Closing as of 11:59 p.m. of the day preceding the Closing Date (the " Cut-Off Time "):
(i)   Property Taxes, assessments billed together with Property Taxes, water charges, sewer rents and vault charges, if any, on the basis of the fiscal years, respectively, for which same have been assessed;

(c)   At Closing, Purchaser shall purchase all unopened food and beverage inventory from Seller at Seller's actual cost.
(d)   If as of the Closing Date the Property or any part thereof shall be affected by any assessment or assessments other than Property Taxes, which are or may become payable in installments, but which are not included on the Property Tax bill, of which the first installment is a charge or lien, then (A) Seller shall be obligated to pay all installments of any such assessment which are due and payable prior to the Closing Date, and (B) for the purposes of this Agreement, all the unpaid installments of any such assessment which are to become due and payable on or after the Closing Date shall not be deemed to be liens upon Property and the payment thereof shall be assumed by Purchaser without abatement of the Purchase Price.
(e)   Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller shall (or cause Manager to) terminate Seller's employer/employee relationship, if any, with all persons employed (the " Hotel Employees ") at the Property (and wages of such employees working as of the Cut-Off Time will be prorated as of the end of their respective 8-hour shifts with all such wages before the Cut-Off Time for account of Seller and all wages from and after the Cut-Off Time for account of Purchaser).  As of the Closing Date, Purchaser will hire or will cause its manager to hire a sufficient number of the Hotel Employees to prevent from occurring an event requiring notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (29 U.S.C. 2101 et seq.) or similar state or local statutes, if any (collectively, " WARN ").  Purchaser agrees to be responsible for and hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Seller, Manager and their affiliates harmless from and against claims and liabilities arising from violations by Purchaser of its obligations hereunder that create any liability under WARN.
(f)   At Closing, Seller shall provide, or shall cause the Manager to provide, Purchaser with a schedule (the " Seller's Accounts Receivable Schedule ") of all guest room, food, beverage and other charges (including, without limitation, telephone and other items charged to transient guests, parking charges, revenues arising from telephone booths, coin-operated laundry equipment, vending machines and games, check rooms, and any and all other charges and revenues relating to goods and services provided by Seller or Manager in connection with Property) owing to Seller for services rendered and any payments due or payable or credits receivable with respect to the operation of Property for any period prior to the Closing Date (collectively " Seller's Accounts Receivable "). Purchaser shall purchase all of Seller's Accounts Receivable from Seller that are no older than fifteen (15) days past due at Closing.  Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to collect Seller's Accounts Receivable that were more than fifteen (15) days past due as of the Closing Date on behalf of Seller (without any obligation on the part of Purchaser to (i) undertake litigation to collect such amounts due to Seller or (ii) expend funds), and Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, in accordance with this Section 1.4, any collected accounts receivable that belong to Seller.  Purchaser's repayment obligations set forth in this Section shall survive Closing for a period of six (6) months.
(g)   All deposits or advances from guests or others on account of advance bookings or reservations, and prepaid commissions received by Seller (or the Manager) from credit and referral organizations, for periods from and after the Closing Date (collectively, the " Advance Booking Deposits ") shall be turned over to Purchaser at Closing and Purchaser agrees to honor the bookings related thereto and related to the Hotel after Closing.

(j)   Subject to Purchaser's obligation pursuant to Section 1.4(c) above, Seller shall be responsible for payments of amounts owing to third parties in respect of inventory and supplies ordered by Seller in respect of the Property prior to the Closing Date to the extent such items have been delivered to the Property prior to the Closing Date.  To the extent the same are delivered to the Property on or after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be responsible for payment of the same.
(k)   Purchaser, at Purchaser's sole expense, shall be responsible for the transfer or acquisition of accounts and licenses (including liquor licenses, if transferable) regarding the Property, and the establishment of all utility services to the Property, in the name of Purchaser as of Closing.  Such transfers or acquisitions shall not be a condition or requirement of Closing.
(l)   Purchaser shall be credited, in the form of a decrease in Purchase Price, an amount equal to the product of (i) the face value gift certificates sold, but not redeemed as of the Closing times (ii) ninety percent (90%).

ARTICLE 2

Section 2.1   Title Examination .  Purchaser shall order a title report (the " Title Report ") from Title Company for the Property within five (5) days of the date hereof.  Purchaser shall have until the thirtieth (30 th ) day following the Effective Date (the " Initial Objection Period "), to provide Seller with written notice of its objection to any title exceptions stated therein (each an " Initial Objection ").  All matters shown in the Title Report with respect to which Purchaser fails to object prior to the expiration of the Initial Objection Period shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions"; provided, however, Permitted Exceptions shall not include, and Seller shall be obligated to cure or remove, (i) any mechanic's lien or any monetary lien (except for taxes and special assessments not yet due and payable) which encumber the Property and arise by through or under Seller, or (ii) any mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or similar instruments which encumber the Property (" Must Cure Objections ").  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall have no obligations to take any steps or bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any effort or expense whatsoever to eliminate or modify any of Purchaser's Initial Objections other than Must Cure Objections.  In the event Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or modify all of Purchaser's Initial Objections to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser (other than Must Cure Objections), Seller shall so advise Purchaser in writing within five (5) Business Days after Seller receives Purchaser's Initial Objections, and Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period; in which event, the Deposit will be returned to Purchaser, and no party hereunder shall have any remaining obligations other than in connection with obligations expressly surviving hereunder.  If any matter arises that was not previously disclosed in the Title Report or on the survey (as same may have been updated), is discovered by Purchaser or by the Title Company and is added to such Title Report by the Title Company at or prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days (and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary) after Purchaser's receipt of such updated Title Report showing the new title exception, together with a legible copy of any such new matter, to provide Seller with written notice of its objection to any such new title exception (each a " New Objection ", and collectively, the " New Objections ").  If Seller does not remove or cure New Objections prior to the Closing Date, as may be extended, Purchaser may either (a) terminate this Agreement upon which termination, Purchaser shall receive a return of the Deposit and with the exception of those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, neither party shall have any further liability to the other hereunder, or (b) waive such New Objections, as applicable, and accept such title as Seller is able to convey without adjustment to the Purchase Price; provided, however, Seller shall remain obligated to cure Must Cure Objections despite such waiver.
Section 2.2   Due Diligence Examination .
(a)   Purchaser shall have a period commencing on the Effective Date and terminating at 5:00 p.m. EST on the forty-fifth (45 th ) day following the Effective Date (the " Due Diligence Period ") to examine title to the Property, to inspect the physical and financial condition of the Property and to review the Due Diligence Material, all at Purchaser's sole cost and expense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the one-time right to extend the Due Diligence Period by fifteen (15) days if (i) despite Purchaser's diligent, good faith efforts, Purchaser has not obtained the Franchisor Approval pursuant to Section 2.4, or (ii) Purchaser requires, in its sole but good faith determination, additional time to audit Seller's books and records related to the Property.
(b)   Within five (5) days following the date hereof, Seller shall provide to Purchaser, to the extent in the possession or reasonable control of Seller or any affiliate or property manager thereof, copies of the due diligence material more particularly described on Schedule 2.2 attached hereto (the " Due Diligence Material ").  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the materials listed as item #7 on Schedule 2.2 shall be delivered to Purchaser no later than twenty (20) days following the date hereof.  In addition, Seller ag rees to provide Purchaser reasonable access to Seller's books and records related to the Property (to the extent the same are not part of the Due Diligence Material) during business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, and to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with Purchaser's evaluation and auditing of such books and records.  All Due Diligence Material and books and records relating to the Property shall be treated by Purchaser as confidential, and Purchaser shall instruct all of its employees, agents, representatives and contractors as to the confidentiality of such information (subject to any disclosures which are permitted pursuant to Section 8.11 of this Agreement). Additionally, during the term of this Agreement, Purchaser, its agents and designees, shall have the right to enter the Property, upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, for the purposes of inspecting the Property, conducting soil tests, and making surveys, mechanical and structural engineering studies, inspecting construction, and conducting any other investigations and inspections as Purchaser may reasonably require to assess the condition and suitability of the Property; provided, however, that such activities by or on behalf of Purchaser shall not damage the Property.  All such inspections shall be at Purchaser's sole expense and shall be in accordance with applicable laws, including without limitation, laws relating to worker safety and the proper disposal of discarded materials.  No invasive or destructive testing shall be conducted without the Seller's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Purchaser shall give Seller reasonable written notice (which in any event shall not be less than one (1) Business Days) before entering the Property and Seller may have a representative present during any and all examinations, inspections, as applicable, and/or studies on the Property.
(c)   Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller, and its respective partners, officers, directors, affiliates, agents, representatives and employees, and each of them, from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, lawsuits and other proceedings, judgments, causes of action, liabilities, claims of lien, liens, civil or criminal penalties and charges, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees) including, but not limited to, bodily injuries or death, property damage, or claims for payment resulting from entrance upon, activities or inspection of the Property by Purchaser prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Purchaser's obligations hereunder shall not apply to the mere discovery of a pre-existing condition at the Property (as opposed to causing or exacerbating of any adverse conditions or legal noncompliance).  Purchaser shall promptly repair any and all damage caused, in whole or in part, by Purchaser and return the Property to the condition that existed prior to such damage.  Additionally, Purchaser agrees to maintain and cause each of its representatives, agents or contractors conducting any Due Diligence to maintain and have in effect commercial general liability insurance with (i) limits of not less than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence for personal injury, including bodily injury and death, and property damage, (ii) Seller and Seller's Agent named as additional insured parties, and (iii) waiver of subrogation.  Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, or to Seller's Agent on behalf of Seller, a copy of the certificates of insurance effectuating the insurance required hereunder prior to the commencement of such activities. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with the efforts of Purchaser and Purchaser's representatives to inspect the Property.  The rights and obligations of Purchaser shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement for a period of twelve (12) months, including the indemnification provision herein.
Section 2.3   Purchaser's Right to Terminate .  Purchaser shall have the unconditional right, for any reason or no reason, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice (a " Diligence Termination Notice ") thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.  In the event Purchaser does not deliver to Seller a Diligence Termination Notice on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to accept the Property and to proceed to Closing.  In the event Purchaser terminates this Agreement by timely delivering a Diligence Termination Notice this Agreement shall be deemed to have been terminated, upon such termination, Purchaser shall receive a return of the Deposit and, with the exception of those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further liability to any other party hereunder.  If Purchaser terminates the Agreement, for any reason or no reason as provided for under the Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller any Due Diligence Materials received from Seller; provided that Purchaser may retain copies thereof to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws or its internal document retention policies.
Section 2.4   Franchise Agreement .  Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall contact Franchisor to obtain approval by Franchisor (" Franchisor Approval ") to a transfer of the Franchise Agreement or issuance by Franchisor of a new franchise agreement or license agreement to Purchaser (the " New Franchise Agreement ").  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)   Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of: (i) all fees and costs related to the assumption of the Franchise Agreement or issuance of a New Franchise Agreement (including without limitation any termination fee or assignment fee that is payable to Franchisor pursuant to the existing Franchise Agreement - whether Seller is required to transfer the Franchise Agreement to Purchaser or if Purchaser is not approved as a franchisee or issued a New Franchise Agreement by Franchisor); (ii) all amounts due to Franchisor in connection with the operation of the Hotel under the Franchise Agreement or New Franchise Agreement accruing or arising from and after Closing, including, for example, all royalties due and payable from and after Closing; and (iii) all costs in connection with any property improvement plans with Franchisor.

(iv)   No Governmental Review . Seller understands that neither the SEC nor any other federal or state governmental authority has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the OP Units, or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the OP Units, nor have such governmental authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the OP Units.

(vi)   Risk of Loss .  Seller is able to bear the economic risk of investment in the OP Units and any securities of the REIT issued in redemption and/or conversion, including the total loss of such investment.
(vii)   Tax Review . Seller has reviewed with Seller's own tax advisors the tax consequences of an investment in the OP Units.

The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the Closing.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION - CONDEMNATION
Section 14.01.   Damage.
If at any time during the Operating Term the Hotel or any portion thereof should be damaged or destroyed, Lessee shall have the respective rights and obligations provided in the Lease with respect to damage or destruction. In the event the Hotel is not repaired, rebuilt or replaced, Lessee may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Operator, effective as of the date sent and the parties shall treat such termination as if it were in connection with the sale of the Hotel in accordance with Section 16.03.  In the event that Owner and/or Lessee is required or elects to repair or restore the Hotel, and thereafter fails to timely (subject to delays caused by Operator, including delays in adjusting the insurance claim with the carriers which participate in Operator's blanket insurance program) commence and thereafter pursue the completion of the repair and restoration of the Hotel in accordance with any Mortgage, Operator may, at its option, elect to terminate this Agreement, by written notice to Lessee, effective ninety (90) days thereafter, and upon such termination, Lessee shall have no obligation to pay to Operator any Termination Fee. Additionally, if Operator provides termination notice, Lessee will then have thirty (30) days from when the termination notice is received to begin the repair or restoration work, in which event the Operator's termination notice will be considered null and void.

Section 14.02.   Condemnation.
If at any time during the Operating Term the whole or any part of the Property shall be taken or condemned in any eminent domain, condemnation, compulsory acquisition or like proceeding or sale in lieu thereof by any competent authority, or if such a portion thereof shall be taken or condemned as to make it imprudent or unreasonable to use the remaining portion as a hotel of the type and class immediately preceding such taking or condemnation, then the parties shall treat such termination as if it were in connection with the sale of Hotel in accordance with Section 16.03. Operator shall have no right to the award from the taking or condemning authority in any such proceeding.
ARTICLE 15  


USE OF NAME
During the term of this Agreement, each Hotel shall at all times be known by such name as from time to time may be selected by Lessee.
ARTICLE 16  


TERMINATION
Section 16.01.   Inspection Failure.
If Operator fails two consecutive Franchisor's quality inspections ("Inspection"), for reasons other than capital related issues, Lessee may terminate this Agreement and such termination shall be by delivery of written notice by Lessee to Operator not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination. Additionally, Lessee reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to request an extra Inspection on the Hotel after Operator has failed an Inspection, provided ninety (90) days has elapsed to allow Operator to cure the deficiency that caused such failure and further provided that such failure is for reasons other than capital related items, and if Operator fails the extra Inspection this will qualify as two consecutive fails of Inspections and Lessee may terminate this Agreement and such termination shall be by delivery of written notice by Lessee to Operator not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination. Lessee will be responsible for any additional fee required by Franchisor for said extra Inspection.
(a)
Performance Failure.
(a)
If a Hotel fails to achieve as of the end of any Fiscal Year (i) actual NOI of at least 90% of the budgeted NOI, and (ii) 90% of such Hotel's previous years running (12) month RevPAR index (as measured by STR) for such Fiscal Year (collectively, an "Individual Hotel Performance Failure"), subject to the cure periods below, Lessee may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Hotel upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Operator. The effectiveness of any such notice of termination, however, shall be stayed until completion of the following applicable cure periods.
If  the Individual Hotel Performance Failure occurs with respect to a Fiscal Year, but the Hotel achieves as of the end of the immediately following three (3) months actual NOI of at least 100% of the budgeted NOI for such Hotel for such three (3) months, and 100% of such Hotel's previous years running (3) month RevPAR index (as measured by STR), then the Individual Hotel Performance Failure shall be deemed cured and Lessee shall have no right to terminate for such Individual Hotel Performance Failure (and any notice of termination with respect thereto shall be deemed null and void). Operator shall only be able to cure one (1) Individual Hotel Performance Failure during the Term, in any twelve (12) month period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, during hotel renovation periods or other such situations where more than ten percent (10%) of the Hotel rooms are considered off-market, the months in which the ten percent (10%) threshold is exceeded, Operator and Lessee agree to exclude the corresponding time periods from the calculations described in this Section 16.02 (a) hereto.
(b)   If the Hotel, after the Operator has managed the Hotel for a consecutive twelve (12) month period, at any point, has a negative RevPAR change versus its Competitive Set as measured by the monthly STR Report of greater than 10% for a running (12) month period ("Negative RevPAR Individual Hotel Performance Failure"), subject to the cure periods below, Lessee may terminate this Agreement with respect to the individual Hotel upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Operator. The effectiveness of such notice of termination however, shall be stayed until completion of the following applicable cure period.
If the Hotel's performance, as measured by the monthly STR Report, for the following three (3) consecutive month period after notice of termination is provided, has a positive RevPAR change versus its competitive set, then the Negative RevPAR Individual Hotel Performance Failure shall be deemed cured and Lessee shall have no right to terminate for such Negative RevPAR Individual Hotel Performance Failure (and any notice of termination with respect thereto shall be deemed null and void). If, however, the Hotel's performance at any given period after termination has been cured, as measured by the monthly STR Report for the following twelve (12) month period, again becomes greater than negative 10% change against the individual Hotel's competitive set as measured by the running twelve (12) month period, Lessee may terminate this Agreement with respect to the individual Hotel upon sixty (60) days prior written notice and Operator shall no longer have the option to cure.  At any point following receipt of a termination notice, Operator may provide evidence to Lessee that, notwithstanding the Hotel's performance, Operator believes circumstances were outside of Operator's control and, therefore, termination is not justified.  Lessee may accept such justification in its sole, but reasonable, discretion.
Section 16.03.   Sale of Hotel.
Lessee may sell or otherwise dispose of the Hotel to any other person, partnership, firm or corporation at any time. In such event during the Operating Term, Lessee may notify Operator in writing no less than thirty (30) days prior to any such sale of the Hotel and this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the Hotel upon the closing of the sale.  Upon the sale of the hotel by the Lessee, and provided Operator is not hired by the new Owner of the Hotel, Operator will be entitled to an Operator Fee equivalent to the monthly average of the preceding twelve (12) months Operator Fee for a sixty (60) day period after the sale.
Section 16.04.
Bad Acts
This agreement may be terminated without notice should Operator commit an act of fraud, criminal conduct, misappropriation of funds, dishonesty, or willful misconduct of the manager in connection with the management and operation of the Hotel.  Such acts will be considered "bad person" acts and will result in immediate termination of Operator with no recourse against Lessee or Owner.

Section 16.05.   Optional Termination.

This Agreement may be terminated by Lessee at any time without a reason upon no less than sixty (60) days prior notice to Operator, and Lessee shall pay Operator a termination fee with respect to any such Hotel equal to the lesser of: 1) 50% of the Operator's Fee paid with respect to the Hotel during the trailing twelve (12) months prior to the relevant termination (which may include Operator's Fees for the Hotel for periods prior to the Commencement Date) or, 2) 50% of the average monthly Operator's Fee over the trailing twelve (12) months prior to the relevant termination multiplied by the number of months remaining of the then Initial Term or Renewal Term.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there is less than eighteen (18) months remaining in the Term, and Lessee choses to terminate this Agreement without a reason, Lessee will still be required to provide Operator no less than sixty (60) days prior notice, however, Lessee shall pay Operator a termination fee with respect to any such Hotel equal to the lesser of 1) 25% of the Operator's Fee paid with respect to the Hotel during the trailing twelve (12) months prior to the relevant termination (which may include Operator's Fees for the Hotel for periods prior to the Commencement Date) or, 2) 25% of the average monthly Operator's Fee over the trailing twelve (12) months prior to the relevant termination multiplied by the number of months remaining of the then Initial Term or Renewal Term.

Section 16.06.   Lessee Change of Control.
This Agreement may be terminated by Lessee or Operator upon a change of control of Lessee (as defined below) during the Operating Term.  Said termination will be exercised by delivery of written notice to the other party not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination which notice shall set forth the effective date of termination.  For purposes hereof, a "change of control" shall be deemed to have occurred if, during the Operating Term, any of the following events occurs:
(i)
any "person", as that term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), becomes, is discovered to be, or files a report on Schedule 13D or 14D-1 (or any successor schedule, form or report) disclosing that such person is, a beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act or any successor rule or regulation), directly or indirectly, of securities of Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc., the parent of Lessee (the "Parent") representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Parent's then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;
(ii)
individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement, constitute the Board of Directors of the Parent or their duly elected successors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Parent;
(iii)
the Parent is merged, consolidated or reorganized into or with another corporation or other legal person, or securities of the Parent are exchanged for securities of another corporation or other legal person, and immediately after such merger, consolidation, reorganization or exchange less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation or person immediately after such transaction are held, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate by the holders of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Parent immediately prior to such transaction; or
(iv)
the Parent in any transaction or series of related transactions, sells all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation or other legal person and less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation or person immediately after such sale or sales are held, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate by the holders of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Parent immediately prior to such sale.
In the event Lessee terminates this Agreement solely in accordance with this Section 16.06, Lessee shall pay Operator a termination fee equal to 50% of the Operator's Fee paid to Operator during a number of months prior to the notice of termination multiplied by the lesser of twelve (12) months or the number of months otherwise remaining of the then Initial Term or Renewal Term.
Section 16.07.   Operator Change of Control.
This Agreement may be terminated by Lessee upon a change of control of Operator (as defined below) during the Operating Term.  Said termination will be exercised by delivery of written notice to the Operator, such notice to be provided within sixty (60) days following the Lessee being made aware of the event giving rise to the change of control and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination which notice shall set forth the effective date of termination; provided that, in the event such written notice to Operator is not provided in accordance within the terms of this sentence, the Lessee shall be deemed to have waived any rights to terminate this Agreement with respect to the particular change of control giving rise to the required notice.  For purposes hereof, a "change of control of Operator" shall mean (i) a change of fifty percent or more of the voting control of Operator or any of its owner entities or (ii) a substantial change in the current management of Operator.
In addition to the rights and remedies otherwise available to the Parties at law or in equity, the following provisions will apply following termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 14 or any other provision of this Agreement:
(a)
Operator shall quit, vacate, surrender, and deliver to Lessee peacefully and promptly the Hotel and all Permits and all books, records, accounts, contracts, keys, Working Capital, and all other pertinent and necessary documents and records pertaining to the Hotel and the operation thereof.  If any Permits, including but not limited to any liquor license, is issued to Operator or any of its Affiliates, Operator shall, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, assign or cause its Affiliate holding any such Permits to assign to Lessee or its designee all of the interest of Operator or its Affiliates in such Permits and the Hotel liquor inventory without charge (other than any out of pocket expenses of the assignment, which shall be Operating Expenses), or (if such assignment is not permitted by applicable law) to use reasonable efforts to provide Lessee or Lessee's designee with the use and benefits of such Permits and Hotel liquor inventory until such time (not to exceed 180 days) as Lessee and/or its designee are able to obtain new Permits; provided that Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Operator and its Affiliates from claims and liabilities arising from the post-termination use of such Permits;
(b)
Operator shall deliver to Lessee any and all of Lessee's properties and assets within the possession of Operator, including keys, locks and safe combinations, files, correspondence, information regarding group bookings, reservation lists, ledgers, bank statements for the Operating Account, accounting books and records, all electronic data maintained by Operator relating to the Hotel (which data shall be delivered on computer disc in a format that is accessible and readable by Lessee's then current computer systems), insurance policies, bonds and other documents, agreements, leases, licenses, records and plans (including, without limitation, the as-built or record set plans) relating to the operation of the Hotel, provided that Operator may retain possession of copies of any of the foregoing; Operator shall keep confidential all information concerning the Hotel obtained by Operator or in Operator's possession, and not use any of it for its own account, for the account of others or in any other manner that would directly or indirectly compete with the Hotel;
(c)
Operator shall remit to Lessee the balance (if any) of the Operating Account, after computation and disbursement to Operator of all accrued and unpaid Management Fees and Operating Expenses reimbursable to Operator;

(j)
Operator shall at all times fully co-operate with and explain all aspects of the business and operation of the Hotel to Lessee or any persons authorized by Lessee to allow Lessee or such persons to successfully and efficiently conduct the business after the expiration of the Term.

Section 21.06.   Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior agreements or undertakings, oral or written.  This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto shall be construed and interpreted without reference to any canon or rule of law requiring interpretation against the party drafting or causing the drafting of this Agreement or the portions in question, it being agreed and understood that all parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement.
Section 21.07.   Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nebraska.
Section 21.08.   No Political Contributions.
Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, no money or property of the Hotel shall be paid or used or offered, nor shall Lessee or Operator directly or indirectly pay or use or offer, consent or agree to pay or use or offer any money or property of the Hotel, for or in aid of any political party, committee or organization, or for or in aid of, any corporation, joint stock or other association organized or maintained for political purposes, or for, or in aid or, any candidate for political office or for nomination for such office, or in connection with any election including referendum for constitutional amendment, or for any political purpose whatever, or for lobbying in connection with legislation or regulation thereunder, or for the reimbursement for indemnification of any person for money or property so used.

(a)   At the effective time of this Agreement, Operator shall qualify as an "eligible independent contractor" as defined in Section 856(d)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  To that end:
(i)
during the Operating Term, Operator shall not permit wagering activities to be conducted at or in connection with the Hotel;
(ii)
during the Operating Term, Operator shall not own, directly or indirectly (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), more than 35% of the shares of Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc.;
(iii)
during the Operating Term, no more than 35% of the total combined voting power of Operator's outstanding stock (or 35% of the total shares of all classes of its outstanding stock) shall be owned, directly or indirectly, by one or more persons owning 35% or more of the outstanding stock of Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc.; and
(iv)
At the effective time, Operator shall be actively engaged in the trade or business of operating "qualified lodging facilities" (defined below) for a person who is not a "related person" within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(F) of the Code with respect to the Parent or Lessee ("Unrelated Persons"). In order to meet this requirement, Operator agrees that it (i) shall derive at least 10% of both its revenue and profit from operating "qualified lodging facilities" for Unrelated Persons and (ii) shall comply with any regulations or other administrative guidance under Section 856(d)(9) of the Code with respect to the amount of hotel management business with Unrelated Persons that is necessary to qualify as an "eligible independent contractor" with the meaning of such Code Section.
(b)   A "qualified lodging facility" is defined in Section 856(d)(9)(D) of the Code and means a "lodging facility" (defined below), unless wagering activities are conducted at or in connection with such facility 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 facility. A "lodging facility" is a hotel, motel or other establishment more than one-half of the dwelling units in which are used on a transient basis, and includes customary amenities and facilities operated as part of, or associated with, the lodging facility so long as such amenities and facilities are customary for other properties of a comparable size and class owned by other owners unrelated to Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc.
(c)   Operator shall not sublet the Hotel or enter into any similar arrangement on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the net income or profits derived by the business activities of the sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the rent would fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.
Section 21.10.   Time of the Essence.
Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
Section 21.11.   Offsets.
Each party may offset amounts owed to another party hereunder against any amounts owed to such party upon written approval of both Lessee and Operator; except to the extent that any such offset is prohibited by the terms of the Lessee (or its Affiliates) credit agreements.

Section 21.12.
Attorney's Fees
If any party brings an action against another party to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its court costs, attorney's fees and expenses in the judgment rendered through such action.
Section 21.13.   Final Accounting.
(a)   In addition to the reports required by Section 9.02, within sixty (60) days following the effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement, Operator shall prepare and submit to Lessee a final accounting of Hotel operations through the effective date of such expiration or termination, which accounting shall be in the form of the financial statements required hereunder.
(b)   Upon the effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement, Operator shall deliver possession of the Hotel, and any cash, property and other assets pertaining thereto, together with any and all keys or other access devices, to Lessee.
(c)   Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Operator shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Lessee as may be necessary for the transfer of the operations and management of the Hotel to the successor operator and the transfer any and all Hotel licenses and permits to Lessee or Lessee's designee.
Section 21.14.   Franchisor Communications.
During the Operating Term, Operator shall promptly deliver to Lessee copies of any deficiency notices or similar notices received from a Franchisor and any response thereto.
