INNSUITES HOSPITALITY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF OCTOBER 31 AND JANUARY 31, 2012
AND FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”) is an unincorporated real estate investment trust in the State of Ohio that at October 31, 2012 wholly-owned one InnSuites® hotel located in Yuma, Arizona and together with its affiliate RRF Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), wholly-owned another InnSuites® hotel located in Tucson, Arizona, had a 56.05% interest in another hotel located in Tucson, Arizona  and had a 65.19% interest in InnSuites® hotel located in Ontario, California.  The Trust also owned a direct 50.13% interest in one InnSuites® hotel located in Albuquerque, New Mexico (all five InnSuites® hotels are hereinafter referred to as the “Hotels”).  The Trust is the sole general partner in the Partnership. The Hotels are managed by InnSuites Hotels, Inc. (“InnSuites Hotels”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust.

InnSuites Hotels holds management contracts under which it provides hotel management services to the Hotels, as well as three hotels with an aggregate of 439 suites owned by affiliates of James F. Wirth (“Mr. Wirth”), the Trust’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Under the management agreements, InnSuites manages the hotels’ daily operations, for which it receives a percentage of revenue from the hotels and an accounting fee. InnSuites Hotels also holds licensing agreements and the “InnSuites” trademarks and provides licensing services to the Hotels, as well as the three hotels owned by affiliates of Mr. Wirth with an aggregate of 439 suites.   Under the licensing agreements with affiliates of Mr. Wirth, InnSuites Hotels receives a fixed monthly fee based on the number of units in the hotel properties in exchange for use of the “InnSuites” trademark. Additionally, InnSuites Hotels provides trademark and reservation services to 58 unrelated hotel properties. Under these licensing agreements with unrelated properties, InnSuites Hotels receives variable monthly fees based on the number of reservations processed for the hotel property and, in certain cases, the gross room revenue of the hotel property.

Effective February 1, 2012, the management agreements were amended for the Hotels and the three hotels owned by affiliates of Mr. Wirth. Under the new agreements, the employees are no longer employees of InnSuites Hotels and are now employees of the hotels at which they work. As such, each hotel is responsible for their employee’s payroll and payroll reimbursements are no longer required. The primary purpose for the amendment was to streamline the administrative and accounting functions between the management company, the Hotels and the three hotels owned by affiliates of Mr. Wirth, which resulted in a more efficient operation.

The Trust’s general partnership interest in the Partnership was 72.04% and 71.98% as of October 31 and January 31, 2012, respectively.  The weighted average for the nine months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 was 72.03% and 71.5%, respectively.

PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

The Partnership Agreement of the Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) provides for the issuance of two classes of limited partnership units, Class A and Class B. Such classes are identical in all respects, except that each Class A limited partnership unit is convertible into a like number of Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust at any time at the option of the limited partner. A total of 286,034 and 293,665 Class A limited partnership units were issued and outstanding as of October 31 and January 31, 2012, respectively. Additionally, as of October 31 and January 31, 2012, a total of 3,407,938 Class B limited partnership units were held by Mr. Wirth and his affiliates, in lieu of the issuance of Class A limited partnership units. Each Class B limited partnership unit is identical to Class A limited partnership units in all respects, except that Class B limited partnership units are convertible only with the approval of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, in its sole discretion. If all of the Class A and B limited partnership units were converted, the limited partners in the Partnership would receive 3,693,972 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust as of October 31, 2012. The Trust held 9,517,545 and 9,509,914 General Partner Units as of October 31 and January 31, 2012, respectively.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements of the Partnership, InnSuites Hotels and Yuma Hospitality LP, are consolidated with the Trust, and all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2013. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended January 31, 2012.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE OR USE
 
Under the guidance set forth in Accounting Standards Codification 360-10-45-9, the Trust will classify a hotel property as “held for sale” in the period in which:
a. Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset (disposal group).
b.   The asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (disposal groups).
c. An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset (disposal group) have been initiated.
d. The sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable, and transfer of the asset (disposal group) is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year, except as permitted by paragraph 360-10-45-11.
 e. The asset (disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.
f. Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
 
If these criteria are met, the Trust will record an impairment loss if the fair value less the costs to sell is lower than the carrying amount of the hotel and will cease recording depreciation. The Trust has not classified its Hotels as “held for sale” because, at this time, we have not determined it probable that the sale of the hotel properties will be within one year. We are actively seeking a buyer or buyers for our hotel properties.

LIQUIDITY

The Trust’s  principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including distributions to our shareholders, is our share of the Partnership’s cash flow, management and licensing contracts with affiliated and third-parties,  quarterly distributions from the Albuquerque, New Mexico hotel property and our direct ownership of the Yuma, Arizona property.  The Partnership’s principal source of revenue is hotel operations from the one hotel property it wholly owns in Tucson, Arizona, its 54.25% share in another hotel property in Tucson, Arizona, its 65.19% share of a hotel property in Ontario, California and quarterly distributions from the Tucson Foothills, Arizona property and Ontario, California property.  Our liquidity, including our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, will depend upon our ability and the Partnership’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from hotel operations.

Hotel operations are significantly affected by occupancy and room rates. Occupancy increased from the first nine months of fiscal year 2012 to the first nine months of fiscal year 2013, while rates decreased. Results are also significantly impacted by overall economic conditions and specifically conditions in the travel industry. Unfavorable changes in these factors could negatively impact hotel room demand and pricing, which would reduce the Trust’s profit margins on rented suites.

The Trust has principal of $288,000 due and payable for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 under mortgage notes payable. For the period between November 1, 2012 and October 31, 2013, the Trust has principal of $1.2 million due and payable under mortgage notes payable.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Trust refinanced its mortgage note payable secured by the Yuma, Arizona property.  The new mortgage note payable is for $5.5 million.  It bears variable interest based on the Wall Street Journal prime rate, plus 1.0%, and the interest rate cannot be lower than 5.0%. The note is due in 120 monthly principal and interest installments of $32,419 and matures on September 1, 2022.  The Trust used the $5.5 million to fully satisfy its first and second mortgage notes payable of $5,329,845 secured by the Yuma, Arizona property and received $143,120 in net cash proceeds from the refinancing.

The non-recourse mortgage note payable relating to our Ontario, California property, which is secured by the property and the rents, revenues and profits from the property, matured on May 11, 2011 and was modified on February 14, 2012. The lender reduced the principal balance by $500,000 and waived all penalties and accumulated interest in exchange for a $1.0 million pay down of the principal balance by the Trust. The interest rate was lowered from 8.28% to 5.0%, reducing the monthly principal and interest payments to $31,700 from $71,100. The note was extended for three years to January 14, 2015. The Trust accounted for the modification as a troubled debt restructure.  Based on the terms of the modified mortgage note payable, the total future cash payments of $7,795,006 consist of $6,905,289 in principal payments and $889,717 in interest payments.  As such, total future cash payments exceeded the carrying value of the note payable (including accrued interest) of $7,610,427 at the date of restructure by $184,579.  As a result, there was no gain or loss recorded during the period.  In addition, no adjustment was made to the carrying value of the note at the date of restructure.  Instead, this requires the Trust to recognize interest expense using an effective interest rate on the debt after the restructuring, which results in $184,579 of interest expense being recognized over the remainder of the term.  In addition, the carrying value is reduced over the remaining term by $705,138.   For the nine months ended October 31, 2012, principal and interest payments of $1,285,000 were paid, $43,000 of interest expense was recognized and the carrying value of the old debt was reduced by $1,242,000.

For the remainder of fiscal year 2013 (November 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013), the Trust’s management has projected that cash flows from operations alone may not be sufficient to meet all of the Trust’s  financial obligations as they come due. Based on this projection, the Trust continues selling non-controlling ownership interests in its Ontario, California subsidiary, providing enough available liquidity for management to believe that the Trust will meet all of its financial obligations as they come due during fiscal year 2013. In addition, the Trust has listed its Hotels for sale to provide additional cash flows. See Note 5 – “Note Payable to Bank”, Note 6 – “Sale of Membership Interests in Albuquerque Suite Hospitality, LLC”, Note 7 – “Sale of Partnership Interests in Tucson Hospitality Properties, LP”, Note 8 – “Sale of Partnership Interests in Ontario Hospitality Properties, LP”, and Part I, Item 1 – “Financial Statements.”

We anticipate that current cash balances, future cash flows from operations, proceeds from sales of non-controlling interests in the Ontario subsidiary, and available credit will be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as they become due. Our $500,000 bank line of credit was renewed on June 22, 2012, and on September 14, 2012, the lender increased the credit limit on the line to $600,000. We had drawn the funds of $600,000 on this line of credit as of October 31, 2012. In the event cash flows from operations are insufficient to satisfy our obligations as they become due, we may seek to refinance properties, negotiate additional credit facilities or issue debt instruments. From sales of non-controlling interests in the Ontario and Tucson Foothills subsidiaries, we received $2.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2013.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Room, food and beverage, telecommunications, management and licensing fees and other revenue are recognized as earned as services are provided and items are sold. Prior to February 1, 2012, payroll reimbursements were recorded as the Trust provided its personnel to the hotels under management agreements and were not netted with the corresponding payroll expense. As of February 1, 2012, the employees of each hotel at which they work are employees of the hotel and the hotels are responsible for their employee payrolls, which eliminated payroll reimbursements.

INCOME PER SHARE

Basic and diluted losses per share have been computed based on the weighted-average number of Shares of Beneficial Interest outstanding during the periods and potentially dilutive securities.

For the three- and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, there were Class A and Class B limited partnership units outstanding, which are convertible to Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust.  Assuming conversion, the aggregate weighted-average incremental increase of the Shares of Beneficial Interest would have been 3,693,972 and 3,711,506 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The aggregate weighted-average incremental increase of the Shares of Beneficial Interest would have been 3,694,585 and 3,746,830 for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013 and 2012, respectively.  For the periods ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, the Class A and Class B limited partnership units were antidilutive.  Therefore, a reconciliation of basic and diluted loss per share is not included.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

For the nine months ended October 31, 2012, the Trust recognized expenses of $29,700 related to stock-based compensation. During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, the Trust recognized expenses of $38,880.  The Trust issued 18,000 restricted shares with a total market value of $39,600 in February 2012 as compensation to its three outside Trustees for fiscal year 2013.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Between August 28, 2012 and August 30, 2012, the Trust purchased 31.5 units at $10,000 per unit from Rare Earth Financial. The Trust paid $315,000 in cash to settle the transaction. The purchase agreement allows the Trust to return the 31.5 units to Rare Earth at the original purchase price anytime before September 1, 2013.

As of October 31, 2012, the Trust had notes receivable agreements with Rare Earth Financial and three hotels, affiliates of Mr. Wirth. The notes bear interest at 7.0% per annum and are interest only quarterly payments. On October 31, 2012 the balance of the notes was $307,006. Subsequent to October 31, 2012, Rare Earth Financial and two of the hotels paid their notes in full. One affiliate hotel has a remaining balance of $135,000. This hotel executed a note with the Trust requiring certain payments during the term of the note, which matures March 31, 2013. The note bears interest at 7.0% on the unpaid balance beginning January 1, 2013.

As of October 31, 2012 and 2011, Mr. Wirth and his affiliates held 3,407,938 Class B limited partnership units in the Partnership. As of October 31, 2012 and 2011, Mr. Wirth and his affiliates held 5,573,624 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust.

The Trust recognized related party payroll reimbursement revenue and related payroll expense to Mr. Wirth and his affiliates in the amounts of $0 and $1,647,584 for the nine months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of February 1, 2012, the employees of each hotel at which they work are employees of the hotel and the hotels are responsible for their employee payrolls.

See Note 6 – “Sale of Membership Interests in Albuquerque Suite Hospitality, LLC”, Note 7 – “Sale of Partnership Interests in Tucson Hospitality Properties, LP” and Note 8 – “Sale of Partnership Interests in Ontario Hospitality Properties, LP” for additional information on related party transactions.

5. NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK

As of October 31, 2012, the Trust has a revolving bank line of credit agreement, with a credit limit of $600,000.  The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate plus 1.00% per annum with a 6.0% rate floor and has no financial covenants.  As of October 31, 2012, the line was secured by a junior security interest in the Yuma, Arizona property and the Trust’s trade receivables.  Mr. Wirth is a guarantor on the line of credit.  The Trust had drawn funds of $600,000 on this line of credit as of October 31, 2012. On June 22, 2012, the line of credit was extended for one year to June 23, 2013. And, on September 12, 2012, the lender increased the credit limit on the line to $600,000.

6.  SALE OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS IN ALBUQUERQUE SUITE HOSPITALITY, LLC

On July 22, 2010, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved, with Mr. Wirth abstaining, for the Partnership to enter into an agreement with Rare Earth Financial, LLC (“Rare Earth”), an affiliate of Mr. Wirth, to sell additional units in Albuquerque Suite Hospitality, LLC (the “Albuquerque entity”), which owns and operates the Albuquerque, New Mexico hotel property.  Under the agreement, Rare Earth agreed to either purchase or bring in other investors to purchase at least 51% of the membership interests in the Albuquerque entity and the parties agreed to restructure the operating agreement of the Albuquerque entity.  A total of 400 units were available for sale for $10,000 per unit, with a two-unit minimum subscription.  On October 29, 2010, the parties revised the operating agreement.

Under the new operating agreement, Rare Earth became the administrative member of the Albuquerque entity, in charge of the day-to-day management of the company.  Additionally, the membership interests in the Albuquerque entity were allocated to three classes with differing cumulative priority distribution rights.  Class A units are owned by unrelated third parties and have first priority for distributions, Class B units are owned by the Trust and/or the Partnership and have second priority for distributions, and Class C units are owned by Rare Earth or other affiliates of Mr. Wirth and have the lowest priority for distributions from the Albuquerque entity. Priority distributions are cumulative for five years. Rare Earth also earned a formation fee equal to $320,000, payable in either cash or units in the Albuquerque entity, which was intended for 32 Class C units in the Albuquerque entity after the sale of at least 160 units.  If certain triggering events related to the Albuquerque entity occur prior to the payment of all accumulated distributions to its members, such accumulated distributions will be paid out of any proceeds of the event before general distributions to the members. In the event that the proceeds generated from a triggering event are insufficient to pay the total amount of all such accumulated distributions owed to the members, all Class A members will participate pro rata in the funds available for distribution to them until paid in full, then Class B, and then Class C.  After all investors have received their initial capital plus a 7% per annum simple return, any additional profits will be allocated 50% to Rare Earth, with the remaining 50% allocated proportionately to all unit classes. Priority distributions to all Classes are projected to be $280,000 each year for fiscal years 2013 through 2016. The Albuquerque entity is required to use its best efforts to pay the cumulative priority distributions. The Trust does not guarantee and is not otherwise obligated to pay the priority distributions.  InnSuites Hotels will continue to provide management, licensing and reservation services to the property.
 
On July 29, 2010, the Partnership sold approximately 11% of its sole membership interest in the Albuquerque entity for $400,000 to Rare Earth.  The price paid reflects the net assets of the Albuquerque entity calculated using the third-party appraisal value for the hotel property and the carrying cost of all other assets and liabilities.  Subsequently, Rare Earth received an additional 32 units, or approximately 8%, worth $320,000 as a formation fee resulting in Rare Earth having a total ownership interest of approximately 19% as of January 31, 2011.  During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, the Partnership sold an additional approximately 47% of its membership interests for $1,754,000 to unrelated third parties and approximately 1% for $20,000 to Mr. Lawrence Pelegrin, who is a member of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.  The transactions were a reduction in the Partnership’s controlling interest (see Note 9 – “Variable Interest Entity”), and therefore no gain or loss was reflected in the statements of operations and funds received in excess of cost basis were recorded to equity.  On January 24, 2012 the Trust purchased 40 units at $10,000 per unit from Rare Earth, and on January 31, 2012 the Trust purchased the Partnership’s 114 units at $10,000 per unit by reducing the Trust’s receivable from the Partnership. Between August 28, 2012 and August 30, 2012, the Trust purchased 31.5 units at $10,000 per unit from Rare Earth. The purchase agreement allows the Trust to return the 31.5 units to Rare Earth at the original purchase price anytime before September 1, 2013. This transaction increased the Trust’s interest to 50.13%, giving the Trust controlling interest. As of October 31, 2012, the Partnership does not hold any ownership interest in the Albuquerque entity, the Trust holds a 50.13 % ownership interest, Mr. Wirth and his affiliates hold a 0.13% interest, and other parties hold a 49.75% interest. The Albuquerque entity has minimum preference payments to unrelated unit holders of $139,300, to the Trust of $140,350 and to Rare Earth of $350 per year payable quarterly for calendar years 2014 and 2015. For fiscal year 2013, the Albuquerque entity has remaining minimum preference payments to unrelated unit holders of $34,825, to the Trust of $35,088, and to Rare Earth of $88.

7.  SALE OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS IN TUCSON HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES, LP

On February 17, 2011, the Trust and Partnership entered into a restructuring agreement with Rare Earth to allow for the sale of minority interest units in Tucson Hospitality Properties, LP (the “Tucson entity”), which operates the Tucson Foothills hotel property and was then wholly-owned by the Partnership.  Under the agreement, Rare Earth agreed to either purchase or bring in other investors to purchase up to 250 units, which represents approximately 41% of the outstanding partnership units in the Tucson entity, on a post-transaction basis, and the parties agreed to restructure the limited partnership agreement of the Tucson entity. The Board of Trustees approved this restructuring on January 31, 2011.

                  Under the restructured limited partnership agreement, Rare Earth became a general partner of the Tucson entity along with the Partnership.  The partnership interests in the Tucson entity were allocated to three classes with differing cumulative priority distribution rights.  Class A units are owned by unrelated third parties and have first priority for distributions, Class B units are owned by the Trust and/or the Partnership and have second priority for distributions, and Class C units are owned by Rare Earth or other affiliates of Mr. Wirth and have the lowest priority for distributions from the Tucson entity. Priority distributions are cumulative for five years.  Rare Earth also received a formation fee of $320,000, conditioned upon and arising from the sale of the first 160 units in the Tucson entity. If certain triggering events related to the Tucson entity occur prior to the payment of all accumulated distributions to its members, such accumulated distributions will be paid out of any proceeds of the event before general distribution of the proceeds to the members.  In the event that funds generated from a triggering event are insufficient to pay the total amount of all such accumulated distributions owed to the members, all Class A members will participate pro rata in the funds available for distribution to them until paid in full, then Class B, and then Class C. After all investors have received their initial capital plus a 7% per annum simple return, any additional profits will be allocated 50% to Rare Earth, with the remaining 50% allocated proportionately to all unit classes.  Priority distributions to all Classes are projected to be $428,400 each year for fiscal years 2013 through 2017. The Tucson entity is required to use its best efforts to pay the priority distributions. The Trust does not guarantee and is not otherwise obligated to pay the cumulative priority distributions. InnSuites Hotels will continue to provide management, licensing and reservation services to the property.

At October 31, 2012, the Partnership had sold 257 units to unrelated parties at $10,000 per unit totaling $2,570,000. As of October 31, 2012, the Partnership holds a 54.25% ownership interest in the Tucson entity, the Trust holds a 1.80% ownership interest, Mr. Wirth and his affiliates hold a 1.96% interest, and other parties hold a 41.99% interest. The Tucson entity has estimated minimum preference payments to unrelated unit holders of $179,900, to the Trust of $7,700, to the Partnership of $232,400 and to Rare Earth of $8,400 per year payable quarterly for calendar years 2014 and 2015. For fiscal year 2013, the Tucson entity has remaining minimum preference payments to unrelated unit holders of $44,975 to the Trust of $1,925, to the Partnership of $58,100 and to Rare Earth of $2,100.

8.  SALE OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS IN ONTARIO HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES, LP

On February 29, 2012, the Trust and Partnership entered into a restructuring agreement with Rare Earth to allow for the sale of minority interest units in Ontario Hospitality Properties, LP (the “Ontario entity”), which operates the Ontario hotel property and was then wholly-owned by the Partnership.  Under the agreement, Rare Earth agreed to either purchase or bring in other investors to purchase up to 250 units, which represents approximately 49% of the outstanding partnership units in the Ontario entity, on a post-transaction basis, and the parties agreed to restructure the limited partnership agreement of the Ontario entity. The Board of Trustees approved this restructuring on February 1, 2012.

                  Under the restructured limited partnership agreement, Rare Earth became a general partner of the Ontario entity along with the Partnership.  The partnership interests in the Ontario entity were allocated to three classes with differing cumulative priority distribution rights.  Class A units are owned by unrelated third parties and have first priority for distributions, Class B units are owned by the Trust and/or the Partnership and have second priority for distributions, and Class C units are owned by Rare Earth or other affiliates of Mr. Wirth and have the lowest priority for distributions from the Ontario entity. Priority distributions are cumulative for five years.  Rare Earth also received a formation fee of $320,000, conditioned upon and arising from the sale of the first 160 units in the Ontario entity. If certain triggering events related to the Ontario entity occur prior to the payment of all accumulated distributions to its members, such accumulated distributions will be paid out of any proceeds of the event before general distribution of the proceeds to the members.  In the event that funds generated from a triggering event are insufficient to pay the total amount of all such accumulated distributions owed to the members, all Class A members will participate pro rata in the funds available for distribution to them until paid in full, then Class B, and then Class C. After all investors have received their initial capital plus a 7% per annum simple return, any additional profits will be allocated 50% to Rare Earth, with the remaining 50% allocated proportionately to all unit classes.  Priority distributions to all Classes are projected to be $111,650 for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 and $446,600 for each of the fiscal years 2014 through 2017. The Ontario entity is required to use its best efforts to pay the priority distributions. The Trust does not guarantee and is not otherwise obligated to pay the cumulative priority distributions. InnSuites Hotels will continue to provide management, licensing and reservation services to the property.

At October 31, 2012, the Partnership had sold 212 units to unrelated parties at $10,000 per unit totaling $2,121,000. As of October 31, 2012, the Partnership holds a 65.19% ownership interest in the Ontario entity, Mr. Wirth and his affiliates hold a 1.57% interest, and other parties hold a 33.24% interest. The Ontario entity has estimated minimum preference payments to unrelated unit holders of $148,470, to the Partnership of $291,130 and to Rare Earth of $7,000 per year payable quarterly for calendar years 2014 and 2015. For fiscal year 2013, the Ontario entity has remaining minimum preference payments to unrelated unit holders of $37,118, to the Partnership of $72,783 and to Rare Earth of $1,750.

9.   VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY
 
         Management evaluates the Trust’s explicit and implicit variable interests to determine if they have any variable interests in VIEs. Variable interests are contractual, ownership, or other pecuniary interests in an entity whose value changes with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets, exclusive of variable interests. Explicit variable interests are those which directly absorb the variability of a VIE and can include contractual interests such as loans or guarantees as well as equity investments. An implicit variable interest acts the same as an explicit variable interest except it involves the absorbing of variability indirectly, such as through related party arrangements or implicit guarantees. The analysis includes consideration of the design of the entity, its organizational structure, including decision making ability over the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Generally accepted accounting principles require a reporting entity to consolidate a VIE when the reporting entity has a variable interest, or combination of variable interest, that provides it with a controlling financial interest in the VIE.  The entity that consolidates a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary of that VIE.
 
    The Partnership had determined that the Albuquerque entity was a variable interest entity with the Partnership as the primary beneficiary.  In its determination, management considered the following qualitative and quantitative factors:

a)   The Partnership, Trust and their related parties, which share common ownership and management, have guaranteed material financial obligations of the Albuquerque entity, including its mortgage note payable and distribution obligations, which, based on the capital structure of the Albuquerque entity, management believes could potentially be significant.

b)   The Partnership, Trust and their related parties have maintained, as a group, a controlling ownership interest in the Albuquerque entity, with the largest ownership belonging to the Partnership.

c)   The Partnership, Trust and their related parties have maintained control over the decisions which most impact the financial performance of the Albuquerque entity, including providing the personnel to operate the property on a daily basis.

During the first nine months ending October 31, 2012 and 2011, neither the Trust nor the Partnership has provided any implicit or explicit financial support for which they were not previously contracted.

As of August 30, 2012, the Trust purchased an additional 31.5 units of ownership interest in the Albuquerque entity resulting in the Trust having a controlling 50.125% interest in the entity.

10. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS, SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES

The Trust paid $745,571 and $1,135,038 in cash for interest for the nine months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the first nine months of fiscal year 2013, the Trust issued a promissory note for $15,500 to an unrelated third party for the purchase of 7,631 limited partnership units in the Partnership.  The note is due in 36 monthly principal and interest installments of $479 and matures on February 22, 2015. Additionally, the Trust issued two promissory notes for $4,000 each to unrelated third parties for the purchase of 3,758 Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust.  The two notes are due in 36 monthly principal and interest installments of $124 each and each matures on September 20, 2015.

 
11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Two of the Hotels are subject to non-cancelable ground leases expiring in 2033 and 2050.  Total expense associated with the non-cancelable ground leases for the nine months ended October 31, 2012 was $207,227, including a variable component based on gross revenues of each property that totaled approximately $49,594.

During fiscal year 2010, the Trust entered into a five-year office lease for its corporate headquarters.  The Trust recorded $24,152 and $20,993 of general and administrative expense related to the lease during the nine-month period ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The lease includes a base rent charge of $24,000 for the first lease year with annual increases to a final year base rent of $39,600.  The Trust has the option to cancel the lease after each lease year for penalties of four months rent after the first year with the penalty decreasing by one month’s rent each successive lease year.  It is the Trust’s intention to remain in the office for the duration of the five-year lease period.

Future minimum lease payments under the non-cancelable ground leases and office lease are as follows:

The Trust is obligated under loan agreements relating to four of its Hotels to deposit 4% of the individual Hotel’s room revenue into an escrow account to be used for capital expenditures.  The escrow funds applicable to the four Hotel properties for which a mortgage lender escrow exists are reported on the Trust’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Restricted Cash.”

Between August 28, 2012 and August 30, 2012, the Trust purchased 31.5 units at $10,000 per unit from Rare Earth. The purchase agreement allows the Trust to return the 31.5 units to Rare Earth at the original purchase price anytime before September 1, 2013.

InnSuites Hotels has entered into membership agreements with Best Western International, Inc. for four of the Hotel properties.  These agreements provide for fees to be paid by the Hotels based on revenue and reservations received, and contain no minimum payment provisions.

The nature of the operations of the Hotels exposes them to risks of claims and litigation in the normal course of their business.  Although the outcome of these matters cannot be determined, management does not expect that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Trust.

The Trust is involved from time to time in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Trust’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

We own the sole general partner’s interest in the Partnership. Our principal source of cash flows is from the operations of the Hotels, management and licensing contracts with affiliated and third-party hotels and distributions from the hotels.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2012, we identified the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. We believe that the policies we follow for the valuation of our hotel properties, which constitute the majority of our assets, are our most critical policies. Those policies include methods used to recognize and measure any identified impairment of our hotel properties assets. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since January 31, 2012 except for the following:
 
Under the guidance set forth in Accounting Standards Codification 360-10-45-9, the Trust will classify a hotel property as “held for sale” in the period in which:
a.  Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset (disposal group).
b.   The asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (disposal groups).
c.  An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset (disposal group) have been initiated.
d.  The sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable, and transfer of the asset (disposal group) is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year, except as permitted by paragraph 360-10-45-11 .
 e.  The asset (disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.
f.  Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
 
If these criteria are met, the Trust will record an impairment loss if the fair value less the costs to sell is lower than the carrying amount of the hotel and will cease recording depreciation. The Trust has not classified its Hotels as “held for sale” because, at this time, we have not determined it probable that the sale of the hotel properties will be within one year. We are actively seeking a buyer or buyers for our hotel properties.
 
HOTEL PROPERTIES LISTED FOR SALE

On October 1, 2012 the Board of Trustees voted to list and/or present for sale all five of the Trust’s hotel properties, which is part of the Trust’s long-term strategic plan to migrate the focus of the Trust from a hotel owner to a hospitality service company by expanding its trademark license, management, reservation and advertising services. This plan is similar to strategies followed by international diversified hotel industry leaders, which over the last several years have been reducing real estate holdings and concentrating on hospitality services. The Trust began its long-term corporate strategy when it relinquished its REIT status in January 2004, which prevented the Trust from providing hospitality services to hotels. Then, in June 2004, the Trust acquired its trademark license and management agreements and began providing services to its Hotels. The sale of the Hotels will provide the Trust with additional capital, some of which will be needed to complete the transformation to a hospitality service company following the lead of other hotel chains.

Proceeds from the sale of the Hotels will be used as needed to support hospitality service operations as cash flows from current operations, primarily the sale of hotel rooms, declines with the sale of the Hotels.

The Trust is focusing its sales efforts in the Americas and concentrating its marketing efforts on unbranded hotels and hotels that are changing brands. The Trust expects its primary source of revenue to be from its reservation system. Reservation fees are expected to range from 10% to 15% of the revenue per reservation.

The table below lists the hotel properties, their respective carrying and mortgage value and the estimated sales value for the hotel properties.

There is no assurance that the listed sales price for the individual hotel properties will be realized, however the Trust’s management believes that these sales prices are reasonable based on local market conditions and comparable sales. Changes in market conditions may result in the Trust changing one or all of the sales prices and those changes could be material.

None of the above-listed properties are reported as discontinued operations in the Trust’s financial statements. Based on criteria of EITF Abstract Issue No. 03-13, “Applying the Conditions of Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations,” the Trust concluded that reporting any of the above-listed properties as discontinued operations is not necessary when the Trust reasonably expects to maintain significant continuing involvement. The Trust provides trademark licensing, management,  reservation and advertising services to all the hotel properties listed above and expects to continue the trademark licensing services, which include the reservation and advertising services, and/or continue the management services, which also includes the reservation and advertising services, after the Hotels are sold. The Trust believes either of these services provides the Trust with the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial policies of these Hotels.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Trust’s  principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including distributions to our shareholders, is our share of the Partnership’s cash flow, management and licensing contracts with affiliated and third-parties,  quarterly distributions from the Albuquerque, New Mexico hotel property and our direct ownership of the Yuma, Arizona property.  The Partnership’s principal source of revenue is hotel operations from the one hotel property it wholly owns in Tucson, Arizona, its 54.25% share in another hotel property in Tucson, Arizona, its 65.19% share of a hotel property in Ontario, California and quarterly distributions from the Tucson Foothills, Arizona property and Ontario, California property.  Our liquidity, including our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, will depend upon our ability and the Partnership’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from hotel operations.

Hotel operations are significantly affected by occupancy and room rates. Occupancy increased from the first nine months of fiscal year 2012 to the first nine months of fiscal year 2013, while rates decreased. Results are also significantly impacted by overall economic conditions and specifically conditions in the travel industry. Unfavorable changes in these factors could negatively impact hotel room demand and pricing, which would reduce the Trust’s profit margins on rented suites.

The Trust has principal of $288,000 due and payable for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 under mortgage notes payable. For the period between November 1, 2012 and October 31, 2013, the Trust has principal of $1.2 million due and payable under mortgage notes payable.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Trust refinanced its mortgage note payable secured by the Yuma, Arizona property.  The new mortgage note payable is for $5.5 million.  It bears variable interest based on the Wall Street Journal prime rate, plus 1.0%, and the interest rate cannot be lower than 5.0%. The note is due in 120 monthly principal and interest installments of $32,419 and matures on September 1, 2022.  The Trust used the $5.5 million to fully satisfy its first and second mortgage notes payable of $5,329,845 secured by the Yuma, Arizona property and received $143,120 in net cash proceeds from the refinancing.

The non-recourse mortgage note payable relating to our Ontario, California property, which is secured by the property and the rents, revenues and profits from the property, matured on May 11, 2011 and was modified on February 14, 2012. The lender reduced the principal balance by $500,000 and waived all penalties and accumulated interest in exchange for a $1.0 million pay down of the principal balance by the Trust. The interest rate was lowered from 8.28% to 5.0%, reducing the monthly principal and interest payments to $31,700 from $71,100. The note was extended for three years to January 14, 2015. The Trust accounted for the modification as a troubled debt restructure.  Based on the terms of the modified mortgage note payable, the total future cash payments of $7,795,006 consist of $6,905,289 in principal payments and $889,717 in interest payments.  As such, total future cash payments exceeded the carrying value of the note payable (including accrued interest) of $7,610,427 at the date of restructure by $184,579.  As a result, there was no gain or loss recorded during the period.  In addition, no adjustment was made to the carrying value of the note at the date of restructure.  Instead, this requires the Trust to recognize interest expense using an effective interest rate on the debt after the restructuring, which results in $184,579 of interest expense being recognized over the remainder of the term.  In addition, the carrying value is reduced over the remaining term by $705,138.   For the nine months ended October 31, 2012, principal and interest payments of $1,285,000 were paid, $43,000 of interest expense was recognized and the carrying value of the old debt was reduced by $1,242,000.

For the remainder of fiscal year 2013 (November 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013), the Trust’s management has projected that cash flows from operations alone may not be sufficient to meet all of the Trust’s  financial obligations as they come due. Based on this projection, the Trust continues selling non-controlling ownership interests in its Ontario, California subsidiary, providing enough available liquidity for management to believe that the Trust will meet all of its financial obligations as they come due during fiscal year 2013. In addition, the Trust has listed its Hotels for sale to provide additional future cash flows.  See Note 5 – “Note Payable to Bank”, Note 6 – “Sale of Membership Interests in Albuquerque Suite Hospitality, LLC”, Note 7 – “Sale of Partnership Interests in Tucson Hospitality Properties, LP”, Note 8 – “Sale of Partnership Interests in Ontario Hospitality Properties, LP”, Part I, Item 1 – “Financial Statements”,  and the section titled “Hotel Properties Listed For Sale” above.

We anticipate that current cash balances, future cash flows from operations, proceeds from sales of non-controlling interests in the Ontario subsidiary, and available credit will be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as they become due. The $500,000 bank line of credit was renewed on June 22, 2012, and, on September 14, 2012, the lender increased the credit limit on the line to $600,000. In the event cash flows from operations are insufficient to satisfy our obligations as they become due, we may seek to refinance properties, negotiate additional credit facilities or issue debt instruments. From sales of non-controlling interests in the Ontario and Tucson Foothills subsidiaries, we received $2.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2013.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our expenses consist primarily of hotel operating expenses, property taxes, insurance, corporate overhead, interest on mortgage debt, professional fees and depreciation of the Hotels. Our operating performance is principally related to the performance of the Hotels. Therefore, management believes that a review of the historical performance of the operations of the Hotels, particularly with respect to occupancy, calculated as rooms sold divided by the number of rooms available, average daily rate (“ADR”), calculated as total room revenue divided by number of rooms sold, and revenue per available room (“REVPAR”), calculated as total room revenue divided by the number of rooms available, is appropriate for understanding revenue from the Hotels. Occupancy was 65.05% for the nine months ended October 31, 2012, an increase of 3.29 % from the prior year period. ADR decreased $2.86, or 4.0%, to $67.98. The decrease in ADR and increased occupancy resulted in an increase of $0.47 in REVPAR to $44.22 from $43.75 in the prior year period. The increase in occupancy is due to the moderately improving trend in our economy, which caused more vacation and business travelers.


The following table shows occupancy, ADR and REVPAR for the periods indicated:

No assurance can be given that the trends reflected in this data will be maintained or improve or that occupancy, ADR or REVPAR will not decrease as a result of changes in national or local economic or hospitality industry conditions. We expect the economic conditions to positively affect our business levels for the remainder of this current fiscal year.

For the nine months ended October 31, 2012, our total revenue was $11.4 million, a decrease of $1.25 million, compared with the prior year period total of $12.7 million. The decrease was due to changing the employees at the Hotels from employees of the management company to employees of each hotel. The management company no longer receives payroll reimbursements, which in the prior year period was $1.6 million. Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues, increased 3.6% to $11.4 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2012, from $11.0 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2011. Hotel operations, including Food and Beverage operations, experienced increases in revenues during the first nine months of fiscal year 2013 due to higher occupancy as a result of moderately improving economic conditions.
 
Total operating expenses were $11.5 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2012, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 8.7%, from the prior year period total of $12.6 million. The decrease was due to payroll reimbursement expense of $1.6 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2011 and no payroll reimbursement expense for the nine months ended October 31, 2012.

General and administrative expense of $2.4 million increased $120,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2012, from $2.2 million, or 5.3%. The increase was due to higher occupancy at the hotels.

Repairs and maintenance expense of $1.1 million was consistent with the prior year.

Operating loss was $106,000 for the nine months ended October 31 , 2012, an increase of $151,000, or greater than 100%, from operating income of $45,000 in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to higher occupancy, which increased expenses, and lower rates, which decreased revenues, at the Hotels during the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2013. Management is continuing its evaluation of its sales and rate management program at the Hotels.

Net loss attributable to controlling interest improved by $206,000 for the nine month period ended October 31 , 2012 to a loss of $628,000, or $0.07 per basic share, from a loss of $834,000, or $0.10 per basic share, during the nine months ended October 31 , 2011. This increase was due to greater activity at the hotels and a successful debt restructure for our Ontario property.

For the three months ended October 31, 2012, our total revenue was $3.2 million, a decrease of $411,000, compared with the prior year period total of $3.6 million. The decrease was primarily due to changing the employees at the Hotels from employees of the management company to employees of each hotel. The management company no longer receives payroll reimbursements, which in the prior year period was $532,000. Revenues from hotel operations, which include Room, Food and Beverage, Telecommunications and Other revenues, increased 3.9% to $3.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2012, from $3.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2011. Hotel operations experienced increases in revenues during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, primarily due to higher occupancy at the Hotels.

Total operating expenses were $3.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2012, a decrease of $370,000, or 9.4%, from the prior year period total of $3.9 million. The decrease was due to payroll reimbursement expense of $532,000 in the three months ended October 31, 2011.

General and administrative expense increased $112,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2012, or 17.6%, to $749,000 from $637,000 in the prior year period primarily due to increased activity at the hotels.

Repairs and maintenance expense was $320,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2012, an increase of $7,000, or 2.3%, over the prior year period total of $313,000.

Operating loss was $334,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2012, an increase of $41,000 compared to the prior year period operating loss of $292,000. Hotel operations experienced increases in revenues during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 due to higher occupancy, primarily at our Tucson, Arizona properties.

Net loss attributable to controlling interest decreased by $127,000 for the three month period ended October 31, 2012 to a loss of $398,000, or a loss of $0.05 per basic share, from $525,000, or a loss of $0.06 per basic share, during the three months ended October 31, 2011. Hotel operations experienced increases in revenues during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 due to higher occupancy, primarily at our Tucson, Arizona properties.

ADJUSTED EBITDA

We reported earnings before non-controlling interest, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) of $1.2 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2012, compared to $1.4 million in the prior year, a decrease of $153,000, or 11.3%. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides meaningful insight into the Trust’s financial performance and its operating profitability before non-operating expenses (such as interest and "other" non-core expenses) and non-cash charges (depreciation and amortization).

OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCINGS AND LIABILITIES

Other than lease commitments and legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of business, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not included in the consolidated financial statements. (See Note 2 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”)

SEASONALITY

The Hotels’ operations historically have been seasonal. The three southern Arizona hotels experience their highest occupancy in the first fiscal quarter and, to a lesser extent, the fourth fiscal quarter. The second fiscal quarter tends to be the lowest period of occupancy at those three southern Arizona hotels. This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in our quarterly revenue. The two hotels located in California and New Mexico historically experience their most profitable periods during the second and third fiscal quarters (the summer season), providing some balance to the general seasonality of our hotel business. To the extent that cash flows from operations are insufficient during any quarter, because of temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, we may utilize cash on hand or borrowings to make distributions to our shareholders or to meet operating needs. No assurance can be given that we will make distributions in the future.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 31, 2012 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

As of January 31, 2012, our management identified a material weakness, and therefore, concluded that at January 31, 2012 our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Management identified lack of controls related to process monitoring, testing, documentation, and change management within the information technology control environment. Specifically, the following material weakness existed as of January 31, 2012, policies and procedures over IT program development and change management did not operate at a sufficient level to ensure that all changes affecting the financial statements and underlying accounting records and key reports were identified, authorized, tested and implemented appropriately. In addition, certain deficiencies were noted in the monitoring of log security, testing of data transmissions, testing restoration, and incident/error management system. As such, there existed a reasonable possibility that a material error would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We are actively engaged in the development and implementation of a remediation plan to ensure that controls contributing to this material weakness are designed appropriately and are operating effectively. These efforts included but were not limited to the hiring of a third-party contractor to test on a prospective basis our changes and updates made to our information technology environment supporting the financial reporting systems. For those controls that a remediation plan has not yet been specifically set forth, we are evaluating all our controls and procedures related to the information technology environment and are in the process of assessing an appropriate remediation plan.
 
Other than those discussed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2.   UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On January 2, 2001, the Board of Trustees approved a share repurchase program under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the purchase of up to 250,000 limited partnership units in the Partnership and/or Shares of Beneficial Interest in open market or privately negotiated transactions.

Borrower may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Borrower has notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender’s sole opinion, Lender’s interests in the Collateral are not jeopardized. Lender may require Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender’s interest.

Inspection. Permit employees or agents of Lender at any reasonable time to inspect any and all Collateral for the Loan or Loans and Borrower’s other properties and to examine or audit Borrower’s books, accounts, and records to make copies and memoranda of Borrower’s books, accounts, and records. If Borrower now or at any time hereafter maintains any records (including without limitation computer generated records and computer software programs for the generation of such records) in the possession of a third party, Borrower, upon request of Lender, shall notify such party to permit Lender free access to such records at all reasonable times and to provide Lender with copies of any records it may request, all at Borrower’s expense.

Compliance Certificates. Unless waived in writing by Lender, provide Lender at least annually, with a certificate executed by Borrower’s chief financial officer, or other officer or person acceptable to Lender, certifying that the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are true and correct as of the date of the certificate and further certifying that, as of the date of the certificate, no Event of Default exists under this Agreement.

Environmental Compliance and Reports. Borrower shall comply in all respects with any and all Environmental Laws; not cause or permit to exist, as a result of an intentional or unintentional action or omission on Borrower’s part or on the part of any third party, on property owned and/or occupied by Borrower, any environmental activity where damage may result to the environment, unless such environmental activity is pursuant to and in compliance with the conditions of a permit issued by the appropriate federal, state or local governmental authorities; shall furnish to Lender promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof a copy of any notice, summons, lien, citation, directive, letter or other communication from any governmental agency or instrumentality concerning any intentional or unintentional action or omission on Borrower’s part in connection with any environmental activity whether or not there is damage to the environment and/or other natural resources.

Additional Assurances. Make, execute and deliver to Lender such promissory notes, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, assignments, financing statements, instruments, documents, and other agreements as Lender or its attorneys may reasonably request to evidence and secure the Loans and to perfect all Security Interests.


LENDER’S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Borrower’s failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Borrower’s behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on any Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving  any Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Borrower. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender’s option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note’s maturity.

NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that while this Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender:

Indebtedness and Liens. (1) Except for trade debt incurred in the normal course of business and indebtedness to Lender contemplated by this Agreement, create, incur or assume indebtedness for borrowed money, including capital leases, (2) sell, transfer, mortgage, assign, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in, or encumber any of Borrower’s assets (except as allowed as Permitted Liens), or (3) sell with recourse any of Borrower’s accounts, except to Lender.

Continuity of Operations. (1) Engage in any business activities substantially different than those in which Borrower is presently engaged, (2) cease operations, liquidate, merge, transfer, acquire or consolidate with any other entity, change its name, dissolve or transfer or sell Collateral out of the ordinary course of business, or (3) make any distribution with respect to any capital account, whether by reduction of capital or otherwise.


 
 

 
EXHIBIT 10.2
BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT
  Loan No: 2066                 ( Continued )       Page 4


Loans, Acquisitions, and Guaranties. (1) Loan, invest in or advance money or assets to any other person, enterprise or entity, (2) purchase, create or acquire any interest in any other enterprise or entity, or (3) incur any obligation as surety or guarantor other than in the ordinary course of business.

Agreements. Enter into any agreement containing any provisions which would be violated or breached by the performance of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or in connection herewith.

CESSATION OF ADVANCES. IF Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender shall have no obligation to make Loan Advances or to disburse Loan proceeds if: (A) Borrower or any Guarantor is in default under the terms of this Agreement or any of the Related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any Guarantor has with Lender; (B) Borrower or any Guarantor dies, becomes incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy or similar proceedings or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C) there occurs a material adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition, in the financial condition of any Guarantor, or in the value of any Collateral securing any Loan; or (D) any Guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such Guarantor’s guaranty of the Loan or any other loan with Lender; or (E) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure, even though no Event of Default shall have occurred.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such accounts, and, at Lender’s option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect Lender’s charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the Loan.

Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.
 
Environmental Default. Failure of any party to comply with or perform when due any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any environmental agreement executed in connection with any Loan.

Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower’s or any Grantor’s property or Borrower’s or any Grantor’s ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.

False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

Death or Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower’s existence as a going business or the death of any partner, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower’s property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Loan. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.

Events Affecting General Partner of Borrower. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any general partner of Borrower or any general partner dies or becomes incompetent.

Change in Ownership. The resignation or expulsion of any general partner with an ownership interest of twenty-five percent (25%) or more in Borrower.

Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower’s financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Loan is impaired.

Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

Right to Cure. If any default, other than a default on Indebtedness, is curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not been given a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured  if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be after Lender sends written notice to Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, demanding cure of such default: (1) cure the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiate steps which Lender deems in Lender’s sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continue and complete all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents or any other agreement immediately will  terminate (including any obligation to make further Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender’s option, all Indebtedness immediately become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type described in the “Insolvency” subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lenders rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender’s right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of this Agreement:

Amendments. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.

Arbitration. Borrower and Lender agree that all disputes, claims, and controversies between them whether individual, joint, or class in nature, arising from this Agreement or otherwise, including without limitation contract and tort disputes, shall be arbitrated pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time the claim is filed, upon request of either party. No act to take or dispose of any Collateral shall constitute a waiver of this arbitration agreement or be prohibited by this arbitration agreement. This includes, without limitation, obtaining injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order; invoking a power of sale under any deed of trust or mortgage; obtaining a writ of attachment or imposition of a receiver; or exercising any rights relating to personal property, including taking or disposing of such property with or without judicial process pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Any disputes, claims, or controversies concerning the lawfulness or reasonableness of any act, or exercise of any right, concerning any Collateral, including any claim to rescind, reform, or otherwise modify any agreement relating to the Collateral, shall also be arbitrated, provided however that no arbitrator shall have the right or the power to enjoin or restrain any act of any party. Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude any party from seeking equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction. The statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches, and similar doctrines which would otherwise be applicable in an action brought by a party shall be applicable in any arbitration proceeding, and the commencement of an arbitration proceeding shall be deemed the commencement of an action for these purposes. The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the construction, interpretation, and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT
  Loan No: 2066                 ( Continued )       Page 5



Attorneys' Fees; Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender’s costs and expenses, including Lender’s attorneys' fees and Lender’s legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help enforce this Agreement, and Borrower shall pay the costs and expenses of such enforcement. Costs and expenses include Lender’s attorneys’ fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. However, Borrower will only pay attorneys’ fees of an attorney not Lender’s salaried employee, to whom the matter is referred after Borrower’s default. Borrower also shall pay all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the court.

Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Agreement.

Consent to Loan Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to Lender’s sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation interests in the Loan to one or more purchasers, whether related or unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or knowledge Lender may have about Borrower or about any other matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy Borrower may have with respect to such matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of such participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of any such participation interests will be considered as the absolute owners of such interests in the Loan and will have all the rights granted under the participation agreement or agreements governing the sale of such participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or against any purchaser of such a participation interest and unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower’s obligation under the Loan irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder of any interest in the Loan. Borrower further agrees that the purchases of any such participation interests may enforce its interests irrespective of any personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have against Lender.

Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Agreement has been accepted by Lender in the State of Arizona.

Choice of Venue. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender’s request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Yuma County, State of Arizona.

No Waiver by Lender. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or of any of Borrower’s or any Grantor’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

Notices. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this Agreement. Any party may change its address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party’s address. For notice purposes, Borrower agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Borrower’s current address. Unless otherwise provided or required by law, if there is more than one Borrower, any notice given by Lender to any Borrower is deemed to be notice given to all Borrowers.

Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid or unenforceable as to any other circumstances. If feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower. To the extent the context of any provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word “Borrower” as used in this Agreement shall include all of Borrower’s subsidiaries and affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances shall this Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or other financial accommodation to any of Borrower’s subsidiaries or affiliates.

Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements by or on behalf of Borrower contained in this Agreement or any Related Documents shall bind Borrower’s successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns. Borrower shall not, however, have the right to assign Borrower’s rights under this Agreement or any interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender.

Survival of Representations and Warranties. Borrower understands and agrees that in making the Loan, Lender is relying on all representations, warranties, and covenants made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents. Borrower further agrees that regardless of any investigation made by Lender, all such representations, warranties and covenants will survive the making of the Loan and delivery to Lender of the Related Documents, shall be continuing in nature, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as Borrower’s Indebtedness shall be paid in full, or until this Agreement shall be terminated in the manner provided above, whichever is the last to occur.

Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

Waive Jury. All parties to this Agreement hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by any party against any other party. (Initial Here   /s/ JW  )

PROMISE TO PAY. YUMA HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, AN ARIZONA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP A.K.A. YUMA HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES, LTD (“Borrower”) promises to pay to 1 st Bank Yuma (“Lender”), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Five Million Five Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($5,500,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from August 24, 2012, until paid in full.

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in full immediately upon Lender’s demand. If no demand is made, subject to any payment changes resulting from changes in the Index, Borrower will pay this loan in 119 regular payments of $32,418.72 each and one irregular last payment estimated at $4,112,497.66. Borrower’s first payment is due October 1, 2012, and all subsequent payments are due on the same day of each month after that. Borrower’s final payment will be due on September 1, 2022, and will be for all principal and all accrued interest not yet paid. Payments include principal and interest. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any unpaid collection costs; and then to any late charges. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.
 
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (the “Index”). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by the Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower’s request .The interest rate change will not occur more often than each Day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 3.250% per annum. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be calculated as described in the “INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD” paragraph using a rate of 1.000 percentage point over the Index, adjusted if necessary for any minimum and maximum rate limitations described below, resulting in an initial rate of 5.000% per annum based on a year of 360 days. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than 5.000% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Whenever increases occur in the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may do one or more of the following: (A) increase Borrower’s payments to ensure Borrower’s loan will pay off by its original final maturity date, (B) increase Borrower’s payments to cover accruing interest, (C) increase the number of the Borrower’s payments, and (D) continue Borrower’s payments at the same amount and increase Borrower’s final payment.
 
INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.
 
EFFECTIVE RATE. Borrower agrees to an effective rate of interest that is the rate specified in this Note plus any additional rate resulting from any other charges in the nature of interest paid or to be paid in connection with this Note.
 
PREPAYMENT PENALTY. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Upon prepayment of this Note, Lender is entitled to the following prepayment penalty: In the event of prepayment, in whole or in part, a prepayment penalty rate shall be assessed as follows:
1)  
If the prepayment occurs on or before the first anniversary date of this Promissory Note, the prepayment penalty will be two percent (2%) of the principal amount prepaid.
2)  
If the prepayment occurs after the first anniversary date, but on or before the second anniversary date, the prepayment penalty will equal one percent (1%) of the principal amount prepaid.

Prepayment penalty shall not apply if the prepayment occurs after the second anniversary date. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower’s making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: 1 st Bank Yuma, 2799 S. 4 th Avenue, Yuma, AZ 85364.

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased to 18.000% per annum based on a year of 360 days. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Note:

Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.

Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower’s property or Borrower’s ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower’s obligations under this Note or any of the related documents.

Environmental Default. Failure of any party to comply with or perform when due any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any environmental agreement executed in connection with any loan.

False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

Death or Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower’s existence as a going business or the death of any partner, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower’s property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

Events Affecting General Partner of Borrower. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any general partner of Borrower or any general partner dies or becomes incompetent.

Change in Ownership. The resignation or expulsion of any general partner with an ownership interest of twenty-five percent (25%) or more in Borrower.

Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower’s financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of this Note is impaired.

Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

Cure Provisions. If any default, other than a default in payment is curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured if Borrower, after Lender sends written notice to Borrower demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender’s sole discretion to be sufficient to cure default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficent to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

LENDER’S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.

ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender’s attorneys' fees and Lender’s legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees, expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals. However, Borrower will only pay attorneys' fees of an attorney not Lender’s salaried employee, to whom the matter is referred after Borrower’s default. If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

JURY WAIVER. Lender and Borrower hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender or Borrower against the other. (Initial Here   /s/JW    )

GOVERNING LAW. This Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of Arizona.

CHOICE OF VENUE. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender’s request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Yuma County, State of Arizona.

DISHONORED ITEM FEE. Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $20.00 if Borrower makes a payment on Borrower’s loan and the check or preauthorized charge with which the Borrower pays is later dishonored.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This  includes  all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts, and, at Lender’s option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect Lender’s charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

COLLATERAL. Borrower acknowledges this Note is secured by the following collateral described in the security instruments listed herein:

ARBITRATION. Borrower and Lender agree that all disputes, claims and controversies between them whether individual, joint, or class in nature, arising from this Note or otherwise, including without limitation contract and tort disputes, shall be arbitrated pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time the claim is filed, upon request of either party. No act to take or dispose of any collateral securing this Note shall constitute a waiver of this arbitration agreement or be prohibited by this arbitration agreement. This includes, without limitation, obtaining injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order; invoking a power of sale under any deed of trust or mortgage; obtaining a writ of attachment or imposition of a receiver; or exercising any rights relating to personal property, including taking or disposing of such property with or without judicial process pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Any disputes, claims, or controversies concerning the lawfulness or reasonableness of any act, or exercise of any right, concerning any collateral securing this Note, including any claim to rescind, reform, or otherwise modify any agreement relating to the collateral securing this Note, shall also be arbitrated, provided however that no arbitrator shall have the right or the power to enjoin or restrain any act of any party. Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Nothing in this Note shall preclude any party from seeking equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction. The statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches, and similar doctrines which would otherwise be applicable in an action brought by a party shall be applicable in any arbitration proceeding, and the commencement of an arbitration proceeding shall be deemed the commencement of an action for these purposes. The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the construction, interpretation, and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

SUCCESSOR INTERESTS. The terms of this Note shall be binding upon Borrower, and upon Borrower’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.

NOTIFY US OF INACCURATE INFORMATION WE REPORT TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES. Borrower may notify Lender if Lender reports any inaccurate information about Borrower’s account(s) to a consumer reporting agency. Borrower’s written notice describing the specific inaccuracy(ies) should be sent to Lender at the following address: 1 st Bank Yuma, 2799 S. 4 th Avenue, Yuma, AZ 85364.

GENERAL PROVISIONS. This note is payable on demand. The inclusion of specific default provisions or rights of Lender shall not preclude Lender’s right to declare payment of this Note on its demand.  If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, this fact will not affect the rest of the Note. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them. Borrower and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, and notice of dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability. All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or release any party, partner, or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender’s security interest in the collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender without the consent of or notice to anyone. All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom the modification is made. The obligations under this Note are joint and several.

PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS NOTE, BORROWER READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE, INCLUDING THE VARIABLE INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS. BORROWER AGREES TO THE TERMS OF THE NOTE.

BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT OF A COMPLETED COPY OF THIS PROMISSORY NOTE.
