Item 1.01 | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On March 29, 2007, MHI Hospitality Corporation (“MHI”), the general partner of MHI Hospitality, L.P., (the “Partnership”), by and through an indirect subsidiary, Capitol Hotel Associates L.P., L.L.P. (“Capitol”), entered into and closed a $23 million, ten-year mortgage refinancing (the “Refinancing”) with MONY Life Insurance Company (the “Lender”) of Capitol’s existing note and the deed of trust held by the Lender on the Hilton Wilmington Riverside (the “Hotel”). In connection with the Refinancing, Capitol issued its $23 million promissory note (the “Note”) which matures March 29, 2017 and bears interest at 6.21% per year, and through a deed of trust (the “Deed of Trust”), Capitol gave a first lien mortgage on the Hotel. Customary events of default including non-payment of scheduled payments under the Note can trigger acceleration of the Note.
During the first twenty-four months of the term of the Note, the Note will require Capitol to pay equal monthly installments of interest only in the amount of $119,025. Beginning with the twenty-fifth month of its term and continuing thereafter, the Note will require Capitol to pay equal monthly installments of both principal and interest in the amount of $151,155.77.
Capitol may not prepay the Note in whole or in part before the commencement of the sixth year of its term. Thereafter, Capitol may prepay in whole, but not in part, the outstanding principal amount of the Note plus accrued interest if it also pays the Lender a prepayment premium equal to 1% of the outstanding principal amount at that time or a prepayment premium intended to make the Lender whole as a result of the prepayment. If Capitol prepays the Note during the last ninety days of the term, no prepayment premium applies.
To secure the Note, Capitol has given the Lender a first lien mortgage and security interest on the Hotel and personal property located within the Hotel and assigned its rights to rents, profits and income generated by the Hotel, assigned its rights with regard to certain intangibles associated with the Hotel and, together with the Partnership, provided a customary environmental indemnity and certain other limited indemnities. The Partnership has also guaranteed the repayment of the Note and the performance of the obligations contained in the Deed of Trust. An affiliate of Capitol provided additional security customarily given in connection with hotel financing including the subordination of rights under the Hotel’s operating lease and the granting of a security interest in rights under the Hotel’s management agreement.
Capitol intends to use the proceeds of the Note to repay and satisfy existing indebtedness secured by the Hotel in the approximate amount of $13.8 million and intends to use approximately $9.2 million to fund the product improvement plan for the Hotel contemplated by the Hotel’s new franchise agreement.
A copy of the Note is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.25, and it is incorporated by reference as though it were fully set forth herein. The foregoing summary descriptions of the Note, the other referenced loan documents and the transactions contemplated thereby are not intended to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by the complete text of the Note and the other loan documents.
