Item 1.01 | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On February 9, 2009, MHI Hotel Investments Holdings, LLC (the “Borrower”), an indirect subsidiary of MHI Hospitality Corporation (the “Company”), issued a promissory note payable to the order of CRP/MHI Holdings, L.L.C. (the “Lender”) in the original principal amount of $4,750,000.00 (the “Note”). Concurrently with the issuance of the Note, the Company executed a guaranty (the “Guaranty”) for the benefit of the Lender guarantying the full payment of all amounts owing to Lender under the Note. The Note will bear interest at a LIBOR based variable rate or an alternative rate as determined by Société Générale New York Branch, pursuant to a Loan Agreement between Société Générale New York Branch, as lender, and MHI/Carlyle Sian Owner I, L.L.C. and MHI/Carlyle Sian Lessee I, L.L.C. (the “Sian Borrowers”) (the “Sian Loan Agreement”), minus fifty basis points. The Borrower is required to make monthly interest payments until the Note matures. The Note will mature and be payable on the maturity date specified in the Sian Loan Agreement which provides for an August 1, 2009 maturity date subject to two one-year extensions at the election of the Sian Borrowers, subject to certain conditions, under the Sian Loan Agreement, and at maturity the principal outstanding under the Note becomes due. The maturity date of the Note will coincide with the maturity of a note (the “Sian Note”) issued pursuant to the Sian Loan Agreement in which the Borrower has an indirect interest through its joint venture with The Carlyle Group. The Company’s interest in the principal balance of the Sian Note is expected to exceed the principal balance of the Note when the two instruments mature.
The Borrower and the Lender are the sole members of MHI/Carlyle Hotel Investment Program I, L.L.C., a joint venture whose financial results are not consolidated by the Company for purposes of the Company’s financial reporting.
The foregoing summary description of the Note and the Guaranty is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Note and the Guaranty, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.35 and Exhibit 10.36, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference.
