Note Receivable

We own the $69.0 million senior mortgage loan secured by the 443-room Allerton Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. The Allerton loan matured in January 2010 and is currently in default. The Allerton loan accrues at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 692 basis points, which includes 5 percentage points of default interest. As of September 7, 2012, the Allerton loan had a principal balance of $69.0 million and unrecorded accrued interest (including default interest) of approximately $6.4 million. Foreclosure proceedings were initially filed in April 2010 and the borrower filed for bankruptcy in May 2011. We continue to pursue our rights in the bankruptcy proceedings, but the outcome is uncertain. See Note 14 for further discussion of the bankruptcy proceedings.

Recognition of interest income on the Allerton loan is contingent upon having a reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash payments expected to be collected from the borrower. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing and amount of cash payments expected, we placed the Allerton loan on non-accrual status. As of September 7, 2012, we have received default interest payments from the borrower of approximately $6.7 million, of which $0.6 million was received during the period from January 1, 2012 to September 7, 2012. These payments have been recorded as a reduction of our basis in the Allerton loan. We evaluate the potential impairment of the carrying value of the Allerton loan based on the underlying estimated fair value of the hotel and as of September 7, 2012, there was no impairment.
