Amended and Restated
Binding Commitment Agreement
Regarding the Acquisition and Restructuring
of Certain Subsidiaries of Innkeepers USA Trust

INK Acquisition LLC (“INK_1”) and INK Acquisition II LLC (“INK II”, and together with INK 1, individually or collectively, as the context may require, “New HoldCo”), Cerberus Series Four Holdings, LLC (“Cerberus”) and Chatham Lodging Trust (“Chatham”, and together with Cerberus, the “Plan Sponsors”), are pleased to present this amended and restated letter (the “Amended and Restated Commitment Letter”) to certain wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries of Innkeepers USA Trust (together with all of its wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, “Innkeepers” or the “Company”), that are identified on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the “Fixed/Floating Debtors”), which sets forth, among other things, the Plan Sponsors’ binding and irrevocable commitment to provide equity capital (the “Commitment”) for the restructuring of the debt and equity of the Fixed/Floating Debtors (the “Transaction”), resulting in New HoldCo directly or indirectly owning all of the equity interests in the Fixed/Floating Debtors on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the amended and restated term sheet (the “Amended and Restated Term Sheet”) attached hereto as Exhibit B. This Amended and Restated Commitment Letter, together with the Amended and Restated Term Sheet, the other Exhibits hereto and the other documents submitted herewith, constitute our Investment Documents and Bid (each as defined in the Bidding Procedures Order;¹ the “Bid”). The undersigned hereto are collectively referred to as “Parties” and each a “Party.”

We believe that the Commitment provides substantial value to the Fixed/Floating Debtors and puts the Company on the path towards a consensual emergence from chapter 11 on an enterprise basis pursuant to a confirmed chapter 11 plan. There are no due diligence or financing contingencies of any kind in connection with the Commitment, other than the availability of the Midland Financing (as defined in the Bidding Procedures Order).

The Sponsors

The Plan Sponsors are each uniquely qualified to consummate the Transaction. Established in 1992, Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. is one of the world’s leading private investment firms with approximately $23 billion under management in funds and accounts. Cerberus’ investors include


¹		All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Debtors’ Plans of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated May 12, 2011,(the “Fixed/Floating Plan”).

prominent state and local pension funds, charitable foundations, university endowments and insurance companies, as well as family savings. Cerberus is headquartered in New York City, with affiliate and/or advisory offices in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Cerberus’ dedicated team of investment and operations professionals is active in private equity, distressed investments (corporate debt, mortgage, NPLs, structured products) lending/loans and real estate. On the lodging side, Cerberus, through an affiliate, currently owns 5,160 keys including the Sheraton Waikiki (Waikiki, HI), Moana Surfrider (Waikiki, HI), Royal Hawaiian (Waikiki, HI), Princess Kaiulani (Waikiki, HI), Sheraton Maui (Maui, HI) and the Palace Hotel (San Francisco, CA). Additionally, Cerberus is in contract to acquire Silverleaf Resorts, a time-share vacation company.

Chatham is a self-advised real estate investment trust that invests in upscale extended-stay hotels and premium-branded select-service hotels. Chatham currently owns 13 hotels with an aggregate of 1,650 rooms/suites in nine states and has one additional hotel under contract to purchase in Pittsburgh, PA. Island Hospitality Management, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “IHM”) are engaged in the management of hotels throughout the United States and is experienced in the various phases of hotel operations. IHM currently provides comprehensive hotel management services to all but one of the hotels owned by the Fixed/Floating Debtors. Chatham currently has the capacity to invest over $300 million in new hotel assets. Additional information about Chatham may be found at www.chathamlodgingtrust.com.

The specific elements of our Commitment are set forth in this Amended and Restated Commitment Letter, the Amended and Restated Term Sheet and the other Investment Documents. This Amended and Restated Commitment Letter is not an offer or a solicitation with respect to any securities of Innkeepers or a solicitation of acceptances of a chapter 11 plan.

1. Conditions. The Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions contained in the Amended and Restated Term Sheet and the Fixed/Floating Plan.

2. Confidentiality. The Investment Documents are being delivered to you on the understanding that neither the Investment Documents, nor any of the terms or substance thereof, shall be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other person except (i) to your officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants and financial, legal and other advisors on a confidential and need-to-know basis; (ii) as required by applicable law, including the Bankruptcy Code or compulsory legal process (in which case you agree to inform us promptly thereof); (iii) in connection with any exercise of remedies under or in connection with a breach of this Amended and Restated Commitment Letter; (iv) to Midland Loan Services, a division of PNC Bank, National Association, or any successor thereto, solely in its capacity as special servicer for the C6 and C7 Trusts that own and hold the Fixed Rate Pool Mortgage Loan Agreement Claims (“Midland”) and its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants and financial, legal and other advisors on a confidential and need-to-know basis, and Lehman ALI, Inc. (“Lehman”), or (v) as otherwise agreed by the Parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investment Documents may be (a) disclosed to other parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases in connection with the Fixed/Floating Auction (as defined in the Bidding Procedures Order), and (b) filed with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with approval of the Disclosure Statement and the Fixed/Floating Plan as a result of New HoldCo being declared the Successful Bidder at the Fixed/Floating Auction.

3. Due Diligence/Financing. We have completed our diligence review, and intend to utilize the Midland Financing. The form of the Binding Commitment Regarding the Acquisition and Restructuring of Certain Subsidiaries of Innkeepers USA Trust addressed to Midland, that we are prepared to execute (the “New HoldCo/Midland Commitment”) is attached

- 2 -

hereto as Exhibit C. As a result, the Commitment is not subject to diligence contingencies or financing contingencies of any kind, other than the availability of the Midland Financing.

4. Commitment; Financial Capability. The Plan Sponsors hereby commit to provide the entire amount of the Commitment upon the Effective Date of the Fixed/Floating Plan, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Amended and Restated Commitment Letter, the Amended and Restated Term Sheet and the Fixed/Floating Plan. 100% of the equity of New HoldCo is owned by Cerberus (through CRE-Ink REIT Member, LLC and CRE-INK Member II, Inc., the “Cerberus Members”) and Chatham (through Chatham Lodging, LP and Chatham TRS Holding, Inc., the “Chatham Members”), with the Cerberus Members initially owning 90.8% of such equity and the Chatham Members owning the remaining 9.2% of such equity. The current limited liability company agreement of Ink I, executed by the applicable Cerberus Member and the applicable Chatham Member, as amended, is attached hereto as Exhibit D. The aggregate commitment of Cerberus is $363,527,644.35, and the aggregate commitment of Chatham is $37,000,000.00. As discussed above, Cerberus has approximately $23 billion under management and Chatham currently has the capacity to invest over $300 million in new hotel assets, which we believe is sufficient evidence of our financial capability to close the transaction.

5. Means of Implementation. As the Successful Bidder (as defined in the Bidding Procedures Order), the funding from our Commitment will be used to finance and otherwise implement the restructuring of the Fixed/Floating Debtors pursuant to the Fixed/Floating Plan (as amended to reflect the transactions contemplated by this Bid).

The Fixed/Floating Plan (i) shall be acceptable in all respects to the Plan Sponsors and Midland in each of their respective reasonable discretion; (ii) will provide for the treatment of claims against and interests in the Fixed/Floating Debtors and in all other respects be in accordance with the Amended and Restated Term Sheet; and (iii) will otherwise comply with applicable disclosure requirements and rules of procedure and contain terms and treatment of claims and interests consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. For the avoidance of doubt, the Anaheim Plan, the Ontario Plan and the Reorganizing Debtor Plan are not subject to this Amended and Restated Commitment Letter, the Amended and Restated Term Sheet or the other Investment Documents.

Amended and Restated Term Sheet

[See Attached]

AMENDED AND RESTATED
TERM SHEET

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED TERM SHEET IS NOT AN OFFER OR A SOLICITATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY SECURITIES OF INNKEEPERS OR A SOLICITATION OF ACCEPTANCES OF A CHAPTER 11 PLAN.


Plan of Reorganization:		The recapitalization and debt restructuring (the “Transaction”) of the Fixed/Floating Debtors is to be effectuated through the Fixed/Floating Plan filed in the Bankruptcy Court with the support of the Plan Sponsors and Midland.

		The Fixed/Floating Plan shall be acceptable in all respects to the Company, Plan Sponsors and Midland 111 each of their respective reasonable discretion. The Debtors shall not amend, withdraw, or revoke the Fixed/Floating Plan or waive or amend any provision thereof without the consent of the Plan Sponsors and Midland, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

Treatment of Debt:		Consummation of the Transaction is subject to the restructuring of the Fixed/Floating Debtors’ debt in amounts and with the treatment terms provided herein, or with such other terms that are (i) acceptable to the Debtors, and (ii) acceptable to the Plan Sponsors and Midland (a) in each of the Debtors’, Plan Sponsors’, and Midland’s respective sole discretion with respect to the economic and treatment terms set forth herein and (b) otherwise in each of the Debtors’, Plan Sponsors’, and Midland’s respective reasonable discretion.

New Equity:		Holders of common, preferred, and any other equity interests in the Fixed/Floating Debtors shall receive no distributions under the Fixed/Floating Plan on account of such interests.

		• A new non-recourse mortgage loan of $723,797,238.03, which shall have the following terms: (i) no change to the interest rate of 6.71%; (ii) no change to the maturity date of July 9,2017; (iii) during the first 48 months after the Effective Date, interest only will be payable monthly and amortization will begin 48 months after the Effective Date and will be based on a 30-year amortization schedule; (iv) prepayment shall be permitted at par without penalty and defeasance requirements will be waived; and (v) property release provision whereby the properties serving as collateral under the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan may be released at 108% of the new allocated loan amount, so long as the debt service coverage ratio thereunder, after giving effect to such release, is no worse than such ratio prior to such release or if the foregoing is not consistent with the then-applicable REMIC rules and regulations, such other provision that is acceptable to the Plan Sponsors and Midland that is consistent with then applicable REMIC rules and regulations, the grantor trust rules and regulations, and the pooling and servicing agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any property release

- 2 -


		contemplated herein can only be effected in accordance with applicable REMIC rules and regulations, the grantor trust rules and regulations, and the pooling and servicing agreement. The applicable loan and credit documents evidencing and securing the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan shall be assumed, amended, restated, and/or supplemented as Midland shall reasonably require as reasonably acceptable to New HoldCo and the Plan Sponsors and as is consistent with this Term Sheet.

		• $12,802,450.37 of cash.

		• Contemporaneously with the occurrence of the Effective Date, and as a condition thereto, the Plan Sponsors will direct New HoldCo to make a cash payment of $2,500,000 to Midland as consideration for effecting the restructuring of the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan on behalf of the C6 and C7 Trusts contemplated herein. In addition, Midland shall continue to be entitled to collect any and all monthly or periodic fees and other compensation payable to it under the pooling and servicing agreement, including, without limitation, any monthly or periodic workout fee payable in connection with the restructuring of the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan contemplated herein and same becoming a “corrected mortgage loan” except for the portion of such workout fee that would be payable in connection with the final principal payment of the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan at the maturity date or upon the earlier prepayment of same.

		• The lender under the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan will receive limited guaranties from each of New HoldCo and Cerberus on terms acceptable to New HoldCo, Cerberus and Midland (and substantially similar to those set forth in the Five Mile/Midland Commitment and with appropriate modifications to reflect the corporate structure of New HoldCo).

- 3 -


		due in accordance with the Floating Rate Mortgage Loan Agreement through the Effective Date of the Fixed/Floating Plan.
