Senior Indebtedness

In January 2015, the Company, through various of its subsidiaries, entered into certain loan agreements, promissory notes and related agreements with Calmwater Capital 3, LLC (“Calmwater”), including a $50.0 million non-recourse loan secured by first liens on the Company’s Sedona hotels. This loan was repaid in full in February 2017 upon sale of the Sedona hotels.

Land Purchasing Financing

During 2015, the Company obtained seller-financing of $5.9 million in connection with the purchase of certain real estate located in New Mexico at a purchase price of $6.8 million. The note bears interest at the WSJ Prime Rate as of December 31, 2015 (recalculated annually) plus 2% through December 31, 2017, and the WSJ Prime Rate plus 3% thereafter. Interest only payments are due on December 31 of each year with the principal balance and any accrued unpaid interest due at maturity on December 31, 2019. The note may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty.

Other Notes Payable Activity

During the fourth quarter of 2015, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company borrowed $5.4 million pursuant to a non-revolving credit facility with the Banc of California, National Association (the “BOC Facility”). The BOC Facility was secured by a $7.2 million mortgage receivable, guaranteed by the Company, was scheduled to mature on April 30, 2016, and bore interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal (the “WSJ Prime Rate”) plus 1.25%, or (ii) 4.5%. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we repaid the BOC Facility in full upon collection of the mortgage receivable that served as collateral for that loan.
Note Payable to Related Party

In December 2014, the Company borrowed $5.0 million from SRE Monarch Lending, LLC (“SRE Monarch”) pursuant to an unsecured non-revolving credit facility (“SRE Note”). The Company used the loan proceeds to make a scheduled payment under the Company’s then-senior loan. SRE Monarch is a related party of Seth Singerman, one of the Company’s directors and an affiliate of one of our preferred equity holders. The SRE Note bears interest at a per annum base rate of 16%, and is subject to increase in the event it is not repaid in full on or prior to the or extended maturity date.

During 2015 and 2016, the Company entered into a series of amendments to extend the SRE Note’s maturity date to December 22, 2016. The Company paid all accrued interest at the date of each amendment and paid various extension fees totaling $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which fees were amortized over the loan term. The SRE Note was repaid in full in December 2016.

Revolving Line of Credit with SRE Monarch Lending, LLC

In March 2016, a subsidiary of the Company executed an agreement with SRE Monarch for a $4.0 million secured revolving line of credit facility (“SRE Revolver”). The SRE Revolver bore interest at a per annum base rate of 5% and was to mature on the earliest to occur of: 1) December 22, 2016 (after entering into a series of loan amendments extending this date); 2) the sale of the land serving as collateral under the SRE Revolver, or 3) the sale of Gabella. The SRE Revolver was secured by certain land owned by a subsidiary of the Company and was guaranteed by the Company. The full amount of the SRE Revolver was drawn during 2016. For the year ended December 30, 2016, we incurred total fees of $0.5 million in connection with the SRE Revolver, which were amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the line of credit. In December 2016, the Company paid all of the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest concurrent with the sale of Gabella.

Under terms of the SRE Revolver, the Company was obligated to pay SRE Monarch an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the net sale proceeds upon sale of the land that serves as collateral under the SRE Revolver prior to March 31, 2017 ("Facility Exit Date"). In the event that no sale of the collateral has occurred or is expected to occur prior to the Facility Exit Date, we were obligated to pay SRE Monarch an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the presumed net sales proceeds based on the appraised value of the collateral. In the first quarter of 2017, we paid SRE Monarch $0.2 million to settle this obligation.
