Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 13, 2012, Summit Hotel OP, LP (“Summit OP”), as borrower, and ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, (“ING”), as lender, entered into a Consolidated, Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“Consolidated Loan Agreement”). The Consolidated Loan Agreement evidences the consolidation and refinance of our four existing loans with ING.

Our four loans with ING collectively had an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $69.5 million as of December 31, 2011. The loans were consolidated into a single 7-year term loan with a principal balance of $67.5 million, maturity date of March 1, 2032, and amortized over 20 years. The loan bears a fixed annual interest rate of 6.10%. The loan is secured by first mortgage liens on 16 properties containing 1,639 guestrooms. ING has the right to call the loan so as to be payable in full at March 1, 2019, March 1, 2024 and March 1, 2029.

If the loan is repaid prior to maturity, other than if called by the Lender, there is a prepayment penalty equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the principal being repaid and (ii) the yield maintenance premium. Pursuant to the consolidation, the mortgages on the Courtyard by Marriott, Missoula, Montana and the Courtyard by Marriott, Memphis, Tennessee were released and new mortgages were taken on the Country Inn & Suites and the Holiday Inn Express in Charleston, West Virginia .
