Item 1.01

On July 11, 2005, Lodgian, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment of its lease agreement with ND Properties, Inc., the landlord of the Company’s corporate headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.

The amendment to the lease agreement extends the expiration of the leased premises from August 31, 2005 to March 31, 2011. The amendment further amends the lease agreement to provide for a retroactive adjustment to the monthly rental payment to $33,634.54 for the period May 1, 2005 to August 31, 2005. For the period after August 31, 2005 until expiration, the monthly rental payment shall consist of two components: 1) fixed monthly net rental and 2) additional rent.

The fixed monthly net rental shall be paid in accordance with the following schedule:

Period	Monthly Net Rental
5/1/05-8/31/05	$	33,634.54
9/1/05-3/31/06	$	0.00
4/1/06-8/31/06	$	17,271.79
9/1/06-8/31/07	$	17,708.13
9/1/07-8/31/08	$	18,144.47
9/1/08-8/31/09	$	18,598.99
9/1/09-8/31/10	$	19,071.69
9/1/10-3/31/11	$	19,544.40

The Company shall also pay additional rent which is our percentage share of all taxes, assessments and governmental changes, costs of all insurance related to the building, utilities, snow removal, landscaping and charges assessed against or attributed to the building pursuant to any applicable declaration of protective covenants (“Uncontrollable Operating Expenses”), without regard to the level of increase in any or all of the above.

Our obligation to pay all other operating expenses that are not Uncontrollable Operating Expenses (“Controllable Operating Expenses”) shall be limited to a five percent (5%) per annum increase, on a cumulative basis, over the amount of the Controllable Operating Expenses for the immediately preceding calendar year would have been had the Controllable Operating Expenses increased at the rate of five percent (5%), on a cumulative basis, in all previous calendar years, beginning with the actual Controllable Operating Expenses for the year ending December 31, 2005.

By way of comparison, prior to this amendment, our total monthly rent expense for the corporate office was $35,452.63. If we were to pay rent for September 2005 under the lease amendment, assuming the additional rental amount in place for the building, our monthly rent expense would be $34,398.14.

The amendment also provides for a tenant improvement allowance in the amount of $218,170.00 with which we will upgrade and improve the leased premises.

The amendment further provides the Company a right of first offer on any space of less than 5,000 sq. ft. located on an adjacent floor of the leased premises.
