PPP Loans. The Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries have received PPP Loans administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration pursuant to the CARES Act.  Each PPP Loan has a term of five years and carries an interest rate of 1.00%.  Equal payments of principal and interest begin no later than 10 months following origination of the loan and are amortized over the remaining term of the loan. Pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act, the proceeds of each PPP Loan may be used for payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs.  The promissory note for each PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breach of representations and warranties or of provisions of the relevant promissory note.   Under the terms of the CARES Act, each borrower can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan.  Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act.  No assurance is provided that any borrower will obtain forgiveness under any relevant PPP Loan in whole or in part.  On April 16, 2020, the Operating Partnership entered into a promissory note with Village Bank in connection with a PPP Loan and received proceeds of $333,500.  On April 28, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note and received proceeds of $9,432,900 under a PPP Loan from Fifth Third Bank, National Association.  On May 6, 2020, the Company entered into a second promissory note with Fifth Third Bank, National Association and received proceeds of $952,700 under a PPP Loan.  As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had principal balances outstanding which totaled approximately $7.6 million and $10.7 million, respectively.

Note Purchase Agreement

On December 31, 2020, the Operating Partnership and the Company entered into the Note Purchase Agreement with KW and MIG, pursuant to which: (i) we agreed to issue and sell, and the Investors agreed to purchase, the Secured Notes with an aggregate face amount of US $20 million and on the terms described below; (ii) KW and MIG granted us an option, subject to certain conditions and exercisable by us on or before the first anniversary of the first closing date, pursuant to which we may issue and sell a second note to each of the Investors with an aggregate face amount of $10.0 million on substantially the same terms as the initial Secured Notes; (iii) the Company agreed to fully and unconditionally guaranty the obligations of the Operating Partnership; (iv) we entered into the Pledge Agreement and Board Observer Agreement as described below; (v) we agreed to provide certain representations and warranties to the Investors; and (vi) we agreed to use the net proceeds to support the continued operation of the business conducted by the Operating Partnership.  We were required to pay a 1% origination fee on the amount of the initial Secured Notes in connection with the first closing and a 1% commitment fee on the committed amount of the Second Secured Notes.

Secured Notes

On December 31, 2020, the Operating Partnership issued and sold initial Secured Notes to the Investors in the amount of $20.0 million.  The Secured Notes:  (i) have a maturity date of December 30, 2023, with a one-year extension option, subject to a fee in the amount of 1% of the outstanding principal amount under the Secured Notes as of such maturity date; (ii) accrue interest at a rate of 6.00% during the initial term and then at a rate of 10% following any extension; (iii) require quarterly interest payments, which shall initially be in the amount of $0.30 million; (iv) require principal repayment equal to 1.47 times the face amount of the Secured Notes if repaid on or prior to December 30, 2023 and 1.65 times the face amount of the Secured Notes if repaid after December 30, 2023; (v) may be prepaid without penalty, but subject to make-whole amounts for interest and the repayment multiplier; and (vi) rank pari passu with other notes issued under the Note Purchase Agreement and senior to all other indebtedness of the Operating Partnership.  

The Secured Notes requires us to maintain certain cash management standards and include a broad range of covenants restricting our ability to incur additional debt, make dividend payments, transfer or acquire assets, or exceed our 2019 employee compensation levels.  They also require us to maintain certain financial thresholds, including limitations on our accounts payable and capital expenditures.

Upon an event of default or liquidity event described in the Secured Notes, the holders of the Secured Notes have the right to require and approve our selection of one or more of our hotel properties for disposition or refinancing in order to cure an event of default or liquidity event based on a process set forth in the Secured Notes.  In addition, the Secured Notes are redeemable by the holder in full upon an event of default or a change of control transaction.

Pledge Agreement

On December 31, 2020, certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership entered into the Pledge Agreement with KW, pursuant to which we agreed to pledge and grant to KW a first priority security interest in the equity interests, including certain voting rights, of our affiliates that own The DeSoto hotel, Hotel Ballast Wilmington, and the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport hotel.  Upon an uncured monetary event of default under the Secured Notes, KW, as collateral agent, has a

right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Pledged Collateral in order to satisfy any amounts outstanding under the Secured Notes.
