EXPLANATORY NOTE

We refer to Sotherly Hotels Inc. as the “Company,” Sotherly Hotels LP as the “Operating Partnership,” the Company’s common stock as “Common Stock,” the Company’s preferred stock as “Preferred Stock,” and the Operating Partnership’s preferred interest as the “Preferred Interest.”  References to “we” and “our” mean the Company, its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and predecessors, collectively, unless the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated.

The Company conducts virtually all of its activities through the Operating Partnership and is its sole general partner. The partnership agreement provides that the Operating Partnership will assume and pay when due, or reimburse the Company for payment of, all costs and expenses relating to the ownership and operations of, or for the benefit of, the Operating Partnership. The partnership agreement further provides that all expenses of the Company are deemed to be incurred for the benefit of the Operating Partnership.

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2017 of the Company and the Operating Partnership. We believe combining the quarterly reports into this single report results in the following benefits:

 

combined reports better reflect how management and investors view the business as a single operating unit;

 

combined reports enhance investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management;

 

combined reports are more efficient for the Company and the Operating Partnership and result in savings in time, effort and expense; and

 

combined reports are more efficient for investors by reducing duplicative disclosure and providing a single document for their review.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:

 

Consolidated Financial Statements;

 

the following Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements:

 

Note 7 – Preferred Stock and Units; and

 

Note 8 – Common Stock and Units; and

 

Note 9 – Related Party Transactions; and

 

Note 13 – Income Per Share and Per Unit;

 

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures; and

 

Item 6 - Certifications of CEO and CFO Pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

SOTHERLY HOTELS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

 

1. Organization and Description of Business

Sotherly Hotels Inc., (the “Company”), is a self-managed and self-administered lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was incorporated in Maryland on August 20, 2004 to own full-service, primarily upscale and upper-upscale hotels located in primary and secondary markets in the mid-Atlantic and southern United States.  Currently, the Company is focused on the acquisition, renovation, upbranding and repositioning of upscale to upper-upscale full-service hotels in the southern United States.  The Company’s portfolio consists of investments in eleven hotel properties, comprising 2,838 rooms, and the hotel commercial condominium unit of the Hyde Resort & Residences condominium hotel.  All of the Company’s hotels, except for the Georgian Terrace, The Whitehall and the Hyde Resort & Residences, operate under the Hilton, Crowne Plaza, DoubleTree, and Sheraton brands.

The Company commenced operations on December 21, 2004 when it completed its initial public offering and thereafter consummated the acquisition of six hotel properties (the “initial properties”). Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Sotherly Hotels LP, (the “Operating Partnership”).  

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) of the Operating Partnership, the Company, as general partner, is not entitled to compensation for its services to the Operating Partnership.  The Company, as general partner, conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership and the Company’s administrative expenses are the obligations of the Operating Partnership.  Additionally, the Company is entitled to reimbursement for any expenditure incurred by it on the Operating Partnership’s behalf.

For the Company to qualify as a REIT, it cannot operate hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership, which, at June 30, 2017, was approximately 89.1% owned by the Company, and its subsidiaries, lease the hotels to direct and indirect subsidiaries of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries, (collectively, “MHI TRS”), each of which is a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. MHI TRS then engages an eligible independent hotel management company, MHI Hotels Services, LLC, which does business as Chesapeake Hospitality (“Chesapeake Hospitality”), to operate the hotels under a management contract. MHI TRS is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.

All references in this report to “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the Company, its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and predecessors, collectively, unless the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated.

On June 29, 2017, we entered into a promissory note and other loan documents to secure a $35.5 million mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.  Pursuant to the loan documents, the loan has a maturity date of July 11, 2024, bears a fixed interest rate of 4.88%, amortizes on a 30-year schedule, and is subject to a prepayment premium following a prepayment lockout period.  The Company used a portion of the proceeds to repay the existing first mortgage on the Hotel and to pay closing costs, and will use the balance of the proceeds for general corporate purposes.

 

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein include all of the accounts of Sotherly Hotels Inc., the Operating Partnership, MHI TRS and subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership presented herein include all of the accounts of Sotherly Hotels LP, MHI TRS and subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated, with the exception of the ESOP, which records a charge for salaries expense based on allocated and committed to be released shares and the amount of dividends associated with the unallocated suspense shares. Additionally, all administrative expenses of the Company and those expenditures made by the Company on behalf of the Operating Partnership are reflected as the administrative expenses, expenditures and obligations thereto of the Operating Partnership, pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement.

Investment in Hotel Properties – Investments in hotel properties include investments in operating properties which are recorded at acquisition cost and allocated to land, property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets. Replacements and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of a fixed asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. Expenditures under a renovation project which constitute additions or improvements that extend the life of the property are capitalized.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 7 to 39 years for buildings and building improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the related assets.

We review our investments in hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may cause a review include, but are not limited to, adverse permanent changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are found to be less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel property’s estimated fair market value would be recorded and an impairment loss recognized.

Assets Held For Sale – We record assets as held for sale when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, actively seeks a buyer for the assets, and the consummation of the sale is considered probable and is expected within one year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk – We hold cash accounts at several institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) protection limits of $250,000. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of the failure of these institutions is represented by the difference between the FDIC protection limit and the total amounts on deposit. Management monitors, on a regular basis, the financial condition of the financial institutions along with the balances there on deposit to minimize our potential risk.

Restricted Cash – Restricted cash includes real estate tax escrows, insurance escrows and reserves for replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment pursuant to certain requirements in our various mortgage agreements.

14


Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consists primarily of hotel guest and banqueting receivables. Ongoing evaluations of c ollectability are performed and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion of accounts receivable that is estimated to be uncollectible.  

Inventories – Inventories, consisting primarily of food and beverages, are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a method that approximates first-in, first-out basis.

Franchise License Fees – Fees expended to obtain or renew a franchise license are amortized over the life of the license or renewal. The unamortized franchise fees as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $354,197 and $386,612, respectively. Amortization expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 totaled $29,494 and $13,083, respectively, and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 totaled $60,946 and $30,262, respectively.

Deferred Financing and Offering Costs – Deferred financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in issuing debt and are reflected in mortgage loans, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred offering costs are recorded at cost and consist of offering fees and other costs incurred in issuing equity and are reflected in prepaid expenses, inventory and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt and is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company wrote off approximately $0.5 million of deferred offering costs.

Our amortization of deferred offering costs occurs when one of our equity offerings is complete, whereby the costs are offset against the equity funds raised in the future and included in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets, or if the offering expires and the offering costs exceed the funds raised in the offering then the excess will be included in corporate general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative Instruments – Our derivative instruments are reflected as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as an interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivative instruments used to hedge exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital to the extent the hedge is effective. For a derivative instrument designated as a fair value hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings along with the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. For a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting or is not designated as a hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings.

We use derivative instruments to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest-rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily are using an interest rate cap which acts as a cash flow hedge and is not designated as a hedge.  We value our interest-rate cap at fair value, which we define as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We also have used derivative instruments in the Company’s stock to obtain more favorable terms on our financing. We do not enter into contracts to purchase or sell derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.

Fair Value Measurements –

We classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

 

Level 3

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

15


We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurem ent. The following table represents our interest rate cap, mortgage loans and unsecured notes measured at fair value and the basis for that measurement:

Noncontrolling Interest in Operating Partnership – Certain hotel properties were acquired, in part, by the Operating Partnership through the issuance of limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is: (i) increased or decreased by the limited partners’ pro-rata share of the Operating Partnership’s net income or net loss, respectively; (ii) decreased by distributions; (iii) decreased by redemption of partnership units for the Company’s common stock; and (iv) adjusted to equal the net equity of the Operating Partnership multiplied by the limited partners’ ownership percentage immediately after each issuance of units of the Operating Partnership and/or the Company’s common stock through an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Net income or net loss is allocated to the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the period.

Revenue Recognition – Revenues from operations of the hotels and condominium hotel are recognized when the services are provided. Revenues consist of room sales, food and beverage sales, and other hotel department revenues, such as rental management fees, telephone, parking, gift shop sales and rentals from restaurant tenants, rooftop leases and gift shop operators. Revenues are reported net of occupancy and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

Lease Revenue – Several of our properties generate revenue from leasing commercial space adjacent to the hotel, the restaurant space within the hotel, apartment units and space on the roofs of our hotels for antennas and satellite dishes.  We account for the lease income as revenue from other operating departments within the statement of operations pursuant to the terms of each lease.  Lease revenue was approximately $0.4 million and $0.5 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and approximately $0.9 million, for each of the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively .

Income Taxes – The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax. MHI TRS, our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary which leases our hotels from subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, is subject to federal and state income taxes.

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, deferred tax assets totaled approximately $6.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively, of which approximately $5.8 million and $6.0 million relate to net operating losses of our TRS

Lessee.  A valuation allowance is required for deferred tax assets if, based on all available evidence, it is “more-lik ely-than-not” that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will or will not be realized due to the inability to generate sufficient taxable income in certain financial statement periods.  The “more-likely-than-not” analysis means the likelihood of reali zation is greater than 50%, that we will or will not be able to fully utilize the deferred tax assets against future taxable income. The net amount of deferred tax assets that are recorded on the financial statements must reflect the tax benefits that are expected to be realized using these criteria.  We perform this analysis by evaluating future hotel revenues and expenses accounting for certain non-recurring costs and expenses during the current and prior two fiscal years as well as anticipated changes in the lease rental payments from the TRS Lessee to subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. We have determined that it is more-likely-than-not that we will be able to fully utilize our deferred tax assets for future tax consequences, therefore no valuatio n allowance is required.  As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no uncertain tax positions. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2017, the tax years that rema in subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which the Company is subject generally include 2010 through 2016. In addition, as of June 30, 2017, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which MHI TRS is subject generally include 2004 through 2016.

The Operating Partnership is generally not subject to federal and state income taxes as the unit holders of the Partnership are subject to tax on their respective shares of the Partnership’s taxable income.

Stock-based Compensation – The Company’s 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and its 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which the Company’s stockholders approved in April 2013, permit the grant of stock options, restricted stock and performance share compensation awards to its employees for up to 350,000 and 750,000 shares of common stock, respectively. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its stockholders.

Under the 2004 Plan, the Company made stock awards totaling 337,438 shares, including 255,938 shares issued to certain executives and employees and 81,500 restricted shares issued to its independent directors. Of the 255,938 shares issued to certain of our executives and employees, all have vested except 6,000 shares issued to the Chief Financial Officer upon execution of his employment contract which will vest pro rata on the next anniversary of the effective date of his employment agreement. All of the 81,500 restricted shares issued to the Company’s independent directors have vested. The 2004 Plan was terminated in 2013.

Under the 2013 Plan, the Company has made stock awards totaling 121,100 shares, including 74,600 non-restricted shares to certain executives and employees and 46,500 restricted shares issued to its independent directors.  All awards have vested except for 12,000 shares issued to the Company’s independent directors in February 2017, which will vest on December 31, 2017.  

Previously, under the 2004 Plan, and currently, under the 2013 Plan, the Company may issue a variety of performance-based stock awards, including nonqualified stock options. The value of the awards is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period based on the value of the award as determined by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant or issuance.  As of June 30, 2017, no performance-based stock awards have been granted. Total compensation cost recognized under the 2013 Plan for each of the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $4,980, and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $99,120 and $201,722, respectively.

Additionally, the Company sponsors and maintains an ESOP and related trust for the benefit of its eligible employees. We reflect unearned ESOP shares as a reduction of stockholders’ equity.  Dividends on unearned ESOP shares, when paid, will be considered to be compensation expense. The Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the Company’s ESOP shares during the periods in which they become committed to be released.  To the extent that the fair value of the Company’s ESOP shares differs from the cost of such shares, the differential is recognized as additional paid in capital.  Because the ESOP is internally leveraged through a loan from the Company to the ESOP, the loan receivable by the Company from the ESOP is not reported as an asset nor is the debt of the ESOP shown as a liability in the consolidated financial statements.

Advertising – Advertising costs were $85,094 and $120,996 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and were $150,104 and $195,059 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively . Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Involuntary Conversion of Assets – We record gains or losses on involuntary conversions of assets due to recovered insurance proceeds to the extent the undepreciated cost of a nonmonetary asset differs from the amount of monetary proceeds received. During the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2017, we recognized approximately $0 and $1.0 million gain on involuntary conversion of assets, respectively, which is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income as defined, includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. We do not have any items of comprehensive income other than net income.

Segment Information – We have determined that our business is conducted in one reportable segment: hotel ownership.

17


Use of Estimates – The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabili ties and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications  – Certain reclassifications in the amount of approximately $0.2 million and approximately $0.5 million for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2016, respectively, from rooms expense to indirect expense balances have been made to conform to the current period presentation. 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In February 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20).   The FASB issued this update to clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, and to add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Subtopic 610-20, which was issued in May 2014 as a part of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. The amendments in this update also simplify GAAP by eliminating several accounting differences between transactions involving assets and transactions involving businesses in many transactions related to: a partial sale of real estate; a transfer of a nonfinancial asset within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 845, Nonmonetary Transactions ; a contribution of a nonfinancial asset to form a joint venture; and a transfer of a nonfinancial asset to an equity method investee. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. We will adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2018.  We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,  Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash .  This ASU addresses the diversity within entities that have restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents and are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. We will adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2018.  We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,  Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments .  Current GAAP either is unclear or does not include specific guidance on the eight cash flow classification issues included in the amendments in this update. The amendments are an improvement to GAAP because they provide guidance for each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the current and potential future diversity in practice. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. We will adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2018.  We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (Topic 606) . The amendments in this ASU provide clarification to certain core recognition principles related to ASU No. 2014-09 including collectability, sales tax presentation, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition and disclosures no longer required if the full retrospective transition method is adopted.  The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance.  We are continuing to evaluate all of our revenue related to contracts with customers to determine how to transition these requirements into our consolidated financial statements. We will adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2018.  

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (Topic 606) . This update clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation contained in ASU No. 2014-09. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance.  We have analyzed all of our revenue related to contracts with customers and have determined how to transition these requirements into our consolidated financial statements. We will adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2018.  We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,  Leases (Topic 842) . The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. We are continuing to evaluate all of our leases to determine how to transition these requirements into our consolidated financial statements. We will adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2019.

The areas are leased under a six-year operating lease, which expired October 31, 2006 and has been renewed for the third of three optional five-year renewal periods expiring October 31, 2011, October 31, 2016 and October 31, 2021, respectively.

Rent expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, each totaled $23,871 and $47,741, respectively.

We lease land adjacent to the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore for use as parking under a five-year agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation that commenced in July 2009.  In May 2014, we extended the agreement for an additional five years.  The agreement expires in July 2019.

Employment Agreements - The Company has entered into various employment contracts with employees that could result in obligations to the Company in the event of a change in control or termination without cause.

Management Agreements – As of June 30, 2017, each of our wholly-owned hotels and the rental program and condominium association of the Hyde Resort & Residences operated under a management agreement with Chesapeake Hospitality (see Note 9).  The management agreements expire between January 1, 2020 and January 30, 2022, and may be extended for up to two additional periods of five years each subject to the approval of both parties.  Each of the individual hotel management agreements may be terminated earlier than the stated term upon the sale of the hotel covered by the respective management agreement, in which case we may incur early termination fees.

Franchise Agreements – As of June 30, 2017, most of our hotels operated under franchise licenses from national hotel companies. Under the franchise agreements, we are required to pay a franchise fee generally between 2.5% and 5.0% of room revenues, plus additional fees for marketing, central reservation systems, and other franchisor programs and services that amount to between 2.5% and 6.0% of room revenues from the hotels. The franchise agreements expire between July 2017 and October 2030.   On April 12, 2016 we allowed the franchise agreement on the Crowne Plaza Houston Downtown to expire.  The property has been rebranded as The Whitehall.  Each of our franchise agreements provides for early termination fees in the event the agreement is terminated before the stated term.

Restricted Cash Reserves – Each month, we are required to escrow with the lenders on the Hilton Wilmington Riverside, The DeSoto, the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone-University, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverside, the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort, and the Georgian Terrace an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual real estate taxes due for the properties. We are also required by several of our lenders to establish individual property improvement funds to cover the cost of replacing capital assets at our properties. Each month, those contributions equal 4.0% of gross revenues for the Hilton Wilmington Riverside, The DeSoto, DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone–University, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverside, the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort, The Whitehall, and the Georgian Terrace and equal 4.0% of room revenues for the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport.

ESOP Purchase Commitment – The Company’s board of directors approved the ESOP on November 29, 2016.  The ESOP is a non-contributory defined contribution plan covering all employees of the Company.  The ESOP is a leveraged ESOP, meaning funds are loaned to the ESOP from the Company.  The Company entered into a loan agreement with the ESOP on December 29, 2016, pursuant to which the ESOP may borrow up to $5.0 million to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market.  Shares purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as contributions are made to the ESOP by the Company.  The share allocations will be accounted for at fair value at the date of allocation.  As of June 30, 2017, the ESOP had purchased 682,500 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market for approximately $4.9 million, which the ESOP borrowed from the Company pursuant to the loan agreement.  A total of 16,984 shares with a fair value of $121,305 were allocated or committed to be released from the suspense account and recognized as compensation cost during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.  The remaining 665,516 unallocated shares have an approximate fair value of $4.5 million, as of June 30, 2017.  At June 30, 2017, the ESOP held a total of 9,630 allocated shares, 7,354 committed-to-be-released shares and 665,516 suspense shares.  Dividends on allocated shares are paid to the participants of the ESOP, while dividends on unallocated shares are used to pay down the ESOP loan from the Operating Partnership.

Litigation –To our knowledge, no material litigation has been threatened against us. We are involved in routine litigation arising out of the ordinary course of business, all of which we expect to be covered by insurance and we believe it is not reasonably possible such matters will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations or cash flows.

Holders of the Company’s preferred stock are entitled to receive distributions when authorized by the Company’s board of directors out of assets legally available for the payment of distributions.   The Company pays cumulative cash distributions on the preferred stock at a rate of 8.00% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. The preferred stock is not redeemable by the holders, has no maturity date and is not convertible into any other security of the Company or its affiliates.

For each of the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Operating Partnership has declared and has paid $0.50 per preferred unit, respectively, with no preferred distributions during the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

 

8. Common Stock and Units

Common Stock – The Company is authorized to issue up to 49,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.  Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive distributions when authorized by the Company’s board of directors out of assets legally available for the payment of distributions. On December 2, 2016, the Company’s board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $10.0 million of its outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at prevailing prices on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at the discretion of management.  The Company has and expects to continue to use available working capital to fund purchases under the stock repurchase program and intends to complete the repurchase program prior to December 31, 2017, unless extended by the board of directors.  Through December 31, 2016 the Company repurchased 481,100 shares of common stock for approximately $3.2 million and the repurchased shares have been returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.  The Company did not repurchase any shares under the stock repurchase program during the three months ended June 30, 2017.   Between January 3, 2017 and February 28, 2017, the ESOP purchased 682,500 shares of the Company’s common stock for approximately $4.9 million.  Of the 682,500 ESOP shares purchased, 665,516 of these shares are considered unearned ESOP shares at June 30, 2017 and are excluded from the Company’s outstanding common stock on the consolidated balance sheets and the earnings per share calculations on the consolidated statements of operations.

The following is a schedule of issuances, since January 1, 2016, of the Company’s common stock and related units of the Operating Partnership:

On February 15, 2017, the Company was issued 12,000 units in the Operating Partnership and awarded 12,000 shares of restricted stock to its independent directors.

On February 2, 2016, the Company was issued 36,250 units in the Operating Partnership and awarded an aggregate of 22,000 shares of unrestricted stock to certain executives and employees as well as 12,000 shares of restricted stock and 2,250 shares of unrestricted stock to certain of its independent directors.

On February 1, 2016, two holders of units in the Operating Partnership redeemed 422,687 units for an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had 13,815,035 and 14,468,551 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively.

Operating Partnership Units – Holders of Operating Partnership units, other than the Company as general partner, have certain redemption rights, which enable them to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their units in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis or, at the option of the Company, cash per unit equal to the average of the market price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the notice date of such redemption. The number

9. Related Party Transactions

Chesapeake Hospitality . As of June 30, 2017, the members of Chesapeake Hospitality (a company that is majority-owned and controlled by the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer, the Company’s former chief financial officer, and two former members of the Company’s board of directors) owned 1,740,691 shares, approximately 12.0%, of the Company’s outstanding common stock as well as 870,271 Operating Partnership units. The following is a summary of the transactions between Chesapeake Hospitality and us:

Accounts Receivable – At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we were due $483,905 and $0, respectively, from Chesapeake Hospitality.

Management Agreements – As of June 30, 2017, each of our wholly-owned hotels and the Hyde Resort & Residences operated under various management agreements with Chesapeake Hospitality.  The management agreements each provide for an initial term of 5 years and expire between January 1, 2020 and January 30, 2022, and may be extended for up to two additional periods of five years each subject to the approval of both parties.  Each of the individual hotel management agreements may be terminated earlier than the stated term upon the sale of the hotel covered by the respective management agreement, in which case we may incur early termination fees.  We also have a master agreement with Chesapeake Hospitality that has a five-year term, but may be extended for such additional periods as long as an individual management agreement remains in effect.

The base management fees for The Whitehall and the Georgian Terrace were 2.00% through 2015, increased to 2.25% in 2016, and increased to 2.50% in 2017 and for each year thereafter.  The base management fee for the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort was 2.00% from July 2015 through July 2016, increased to 2.25% in July 2016, and increases to 2.50% in July 2017 and each year thereafter.  The base management fee for the Hyde Resort & Residences is 2.00% from January 2017 through January 2018, increases to 2.25% in January 2018, and increases to 2.50% in January 2019 and for each year thereafter.  The base management fees for the remaining properties in the current portfolio are 2.65% through 2017 and decreases to 2.50% thereafter.  For new individual hotel management agreements, Chesapeake Hospitality will receive a base management fee of 2.00% of gross revenues for the first full year from the commencement date through the anniversary date, 2.25% of gross revenues the second full year, and 2.50% of gross revenues for every year thereafter.  The Company and Chesapeake Hospitality agreed to substitute the Hyde Resort & Residences for the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina and there was no termination fee associated with the termination of the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina management agreement.  Each management agreement sets an incentive management fee equal to 10% of the amount by which gross operating profit, as defined in the management agreement, for a given year exceeds the budgeted gross operating profit for such year; provided, however, that the incentive management fee payable in respect of any such year shall not exceed 0.25% of the gross revenues of the hotel included in such calculation.

Base management and administrative fees earned by Chesapeake Hospitality for our properties totaled $1,089,464 and $1,050,008 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $2,062,532 and $1,982,394 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively .  In addition, estimated incentive management fees of $1,824 and $33,305 were accrued for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $28,117 and $47,002 were accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively .  

Employee Medical Benefits – We purchase employee medical benefits through Maryland Hospitality, Inc. (d/b/a MHI Health), an affiliate of Chesapeake Hospitality for our employees as well as those employees that are employed by Chesapeake Hospitality that work exclusively for our hotel properties. Gross premiums for employee medical benefits paid by the Company (before offset of employee co-payments) were $1,345,837 and $2,673,778 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively and were approximately $1,219,458 and $2,545,612 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016,  respectively.

24


Sotherly Foundation – During 2015, the Company loaned $180,000 to the Sotherly Foundation, a non-profit organization to benefit wounded American veterans living in communities near our hotels.  As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the balance of the loan was $80,000, respectively.

Loan Receivable - Affiliate – As of June 30, 2017, approximately $4.7 million was due the Operating Partnership for advances to the Company under a loan agreement dated December 29, 2016.  The Company used the proceeds to make advances to the ESOP to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

Others. We employ Ashley S. Kirkland, the daughter of our Chief Executive Officer as a legal analyst and Robert E. Kirkland IV, her husband, as our compliance officer.  We also employ Andrew M. Sims Jr., the son of our Chief Executive Officer, as a manager. Compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 totaled $88,334 and $81,110, respectively and for the six months ended June 30 2017 and 2016 totaled approximately $179,642 and $164,848, respectively , for the three individuals.

During the three-month period ending June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company reimbursed $57,148  and $40,966, respectively  and during the six-month period ending June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company reimbursed $106,006 and $69,768, respectively , to a partnership controlled by the Chief Executive Officer for business-related air travel pursuant to the Company’s travel reimbursement policy.

 

 

10. Retirement Plans

We maintain a 401(k) plan for qualified employees which is subject to “safe harbor” provisions and which requires that we match 100.0% of the first 3.0% of employee contributions and 50.0% of the next 2.0% of employee contributions. All employer matching funds vest immediately in accordance with the “safe harbor” provision.  Contributions to the plan totaled $21,618 and $45,856 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively and $21,257 and $45,945 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively .

The Company’s board of directors adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) on November 29, 2016, effective January 1, 2016.  The ESOP is a non-contributory defined contribution plan covering all employees of the Company. The Company sponsors and maintains the ESOP and related trust for the benefit of its eligible employees.  The ESOP is a leveraged ESOP, meaning funds are loaned to the ESOP from the Company.  The Company entered into a loan agreement with the ESOP on December 29, 2016, pursuant to which the ESOP may borrow up to $5.0 million to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market, which serve as collateral for the loan.  As of December 31, 2016, the ESOP had not purchased any shares of the Company’s common stock and had not drawn funds under the loan agreement with the Company.  Between January 3, 2017 and February 28, 2017, the Company’s ESOP purchased 682,500 shares of the Company’s common stock for an approximate value of $4.9 million.  Shares purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants.  As contributions are made into the ESOP by the Company they are reflected as unearned ESOP shares on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company.  The share allocations are accounted for at fair value on the date of allocation and 16,984 shares have been allocated or committed-to-be-released from the suspense account, with a fair value of $121,305, as of June 30, 2017.  The fair value of the unearned shares held by the ESOP on June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, was approximately $4.5 million and $0, respectively.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $ 6.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively, of which, approxima tely $5. 8 million and $6.0 million, respectively, are due to accumulated net operating losses of our TRS Lessee. These loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2028 if not utilized by such time.  As of both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximat ely $0.2 million of the net deferred tax asset is attributable to our share of start-up expenses related to the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort, start-up expenses related to the opening of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside and the Crowne Plaza Tampa We stshore that were not deductible in the year incurred, but are being amortized over 15 years.  The remainder of the net deferred tax asset is attributable to year-to-year timing differences including accrued, but not deductible, employee performance awards , vacation and sick pay, bad debt allowance and depreciation.  

We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. Because of expected future taxable income of our TRS Lessee, we have not recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We regularly evaluate the likelihood that our TRS Lessee will be able to realize its deferred tax assets and the continuing need for a valuation allowance.  At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we determined, based on all available positive and negative evidence, that it is more-likely-than-not that future taxable income will be available during the carryforward periods to absorb all of the consolidated federal and state net operating loss carryforward of our TRS Lessee.  A number of factors played a critical role in this determination, including:

 

a demonstrated track record of past profitability and utilization of past NOL carryforwards,

 

reasonable forecasts of future taxable income, and

 

anticipated changes in the lease rental payments from the TRS Lessee to subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. 

 

13. Income Per Share and Per Unit

Income per Share . The limited partners’ outstanding limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership (which may be redeemed for common stock upon notice from the limited partners and following our election to redeem the units for stock rather than cash) have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no effect on the amounts since the limited partners’ share of income would also be added back to net income. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Company, except upon the occurrence of a change of control and have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation, as there would be no impact on the current controlling stockholders. The 665,516 non-committed, unearned ESOP shares reduce the number of issued and outstanding common shares and similarly reduce the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The allocated and committed to be released shares have been included in the weighted average diluted earnings per share calculation, and the amount of compensation for allocated shares is reflected in net income.  There are no ESOP units, therefore there is no dilution on the calculation of earnings per unit. The computation of basic and diluted net income per share is presented below.

Overview

Sotherly Hotels Inc. is a self-managed and self-administered lodging REIT incorporated in Maryland in August 2004 to pursue opportunities in the full-service, primarily upscale and upper-upscale segments of the hotel industry located in primary and secondary markets in the mid-Atlantic and southern United States.  Substantially all of the assets of Sotherly Hotels Inc. are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Sotherly Hotels LP, formerly MHI Hospitality, L.P.

We believe that The DeSoto, the Georgian Terrace and The Whitehall are equivalent to hotels that carry a chain scale designation of upper upscale, and that the Hyde Resort & Residences is equivalent to hotels that carry a chain scale designation of luxury.

Reflects only those rooms that were participating in the rental program as of June 30, 2017.  At any given time, some portion of the rooms participating in our rental program may be occupied by the unit owner(s) and unavailable for rental to hotel guests.  We sometimes refer to each participating condominium unit as a “room.”

We conduct substantially all our business through our Operating Partnership.  We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership, and we own an approximate 89.1% interest in our Operating Partnership, as of the date of this filing, with the remaining interest being held by limited partners who were the contributors of our initial properties and related assets.

To qualify as a REIT, we cannot operate hotels. Therefore, our wholly-owned hotel properties are leased to our TRS Lessees, which are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.  Our TRS Lessees then engage an eligible independent hotel management company to operate the hotels under a management agreement.  Our TRS Lessees have engaged Chesapeake Hospitality to manage our wholly-owned hotels.  Our TRS Lessees, and their parent, MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., are consolidated into our financial statements for accounting purposes.  The earnings of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc. are subject to taxation similar to other C corporations.

Key Operating Metrics

In the hotel industry, room revenue is considered the most important category of revenue and drives other revenue categories such as food, beverage, catering, parking, and telephone. There are three key performance indicators used in the hotel industry to measure room revenues:

 

Occupancy, or the number of rooms sold, usually expressed as a percentage of total rooms available;

 

Average daily rate, or ADR, which is total room revenue divided by the number of rooms sold; and

 

Revenue per available room, or RevPAR, which is total room revenue divided by the total number of available rooms.

RevPAR changes that are primarily driven by changes in occupancy have different implications for overall revenues and profitability than changes that are driven primarily by changes in ADR. For example, an increase in occupancy at a hotel would lead to additional variable operating costs (such as housekeeping services, laundry, utilities, room supplies, franchise fees, management fees, credit card commissions and reservation expenses), but could also result in increased non-room revenue from the hotel’s restaurant, banquet or parking facilities. Changes in RevPAR that are primarily driven by changes in ADR typically have a greater impact on operating margins and profitability as they do not generate all of the additional variable operating costs associated with higher occupancy.

When calculating composite portfolio metrics, we include available rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences that participate in our rental program and are not reserved for owner-occupancy.

We also use FFO, Adjusted FFO and Hotel EBITDA as a measure of our operating performance.  See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

 

 

Results of Operations

 

The following tables illustrate the key operating metrics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for the Company’s wholly-owned properties (“actual” portfolio metrics), as well as the eleven wholly-owned properties in the portfolio that were under the Company’s control during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and the corresponding period in 2016 (“same-store” portfolio metrics). Accordingly, the same-store data does not reflect the performance of the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina which was sold in February 2017, or our interest in the Hyde Resort & Residences which was acquired on January 30, 2017.  The composite portfolio metrics represent all of the Company’s wholly-owned properties and the participating condominium hotel rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and the corresponding period in 2016.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

Revenue .  Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 2.8%, to approximately $40.6 million compared to total revenue of approximately $41.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 resulted mainly from the sale of our property in Hampton, Virginia which reduced revenues by approximately $1.7 million.  In addition, our properties impacted by renovation activities in Wilmington, North Carolina, Savannah, Georgia and Hollywood Beach, Florida had reduced revenues of approximately $0.7 million.  These

30


reductions were offset by the newer operations at the Hyde Resort & Residences, accounting for an increase of approximately $ 0.8 million for the period and were offset by a net i ncrease in revenues of approximately $ 0.4 million for the period with increas es our properties in Raleigh, North Carolina; Laurel, Maryland; Jackso nville, Florida; Tampa, Florida and Houston, Texa s, while other revenue decreases were reflected by our properties i n Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Jeffersonville, Indiana and Atlanta, Geo rgia .

Room revenue decreased approximately $1.0 million, or 3.4%, to approximately $28.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to room revenue of approximately $29.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  The decrease in room revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 resulted mainly from the sale of our property in Hampton, Virginia which reduced revenues by approximately $1.0 million and in addition our properties impacted by renovation activities in Wilmington, North Carolina, Savannah, Georgia and Hollywood Beach, Florida had reduced revenues of approximately $0.4 million, which reflected a 2.5% decrease in occupancy, as compared to the same period in 2016. These decreases in room revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were offset by a net increase of approximately $0.5 million resulting from increases at our properties in Raleigh, North Carolina; Laurel, Maryland; Jacksonville, Florida; Tampa, Florida; Houston, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia of approximately $0.8 million that were in turn offset by decreases in revenues of approximately $0.3 million at our properties in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Food and beverage revenues decreased approximately $1.0 million, or 10.4%, to approximately $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to food and beverage revenues of approximately $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.   The decrease in food and beverage revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 resulted mainly from the sale of our property in Hampton, Virginia which reduced revenues by approximately $0.5 million. In addition, our properties impacted by renovation activities in Wilmington, North Carolina, Savannah, Georgia and Hollywood Beach, Florida had reduced revenues of approximately $0.3 million.  The remaining portion of the net decrease in food and beverage revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 of approximately $0.2 million, resulted from increases in food and beverage revenues at our properties in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Laurel, Maryland; Jacksonville, Florida; Tampa, Florida and Houston, Texas, that were offset by decreases in revenue at our properties in Raleigh, North Carolina; Jeffersonville, Indiana and Atlanta, Georgia.

Revenue from other operating departments increased approximately $0.8 million, or 34.9%, to approximately $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to revenue from other operating departments of approximately $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  The increase in revenue from other operating departments for the three months ended June 30, 2017 resulted mainly from the new operations at the Hyde Resort & Residences, accounting for an increase of approximately $0.8 million for the period.

Hotel Operating Expenses .  Hotel operating expenses, which consist of room expenses, food and beverage expenses, other direct expenses, indirect expenses and management fees, were approximately $29.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million, or 0.8%, compared to total hotel operating expenses of approximately $29.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  The decrease in hotel operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was substantially related to a decrease in expenses of approximately $1.4 million after the sale of our property in Hampton, Virginia.  This decrease in hotel operating expenses was offset by a net increase in hotel operating expenses of approximately $1.2 million that resulted from increases in expenses at our properties in Raleigh, North Carolina; Laurel, Maryland; Jacksonville, Florida; Tampa, Florida and Houston, Texas and an increase in expenses from the start of operations at the Hyde Resort & Residences, which accounted for an increase in hotel operating expenses of approximately $1.6 million for the period, that were in turn offset by decreases in hotel operating expenses of approximately $0.4 million at our properties impacted by renovation activities in Wilmington, North Carolina and Hollywood Beach, Florida and decreases in expenses at our properties in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Jeffersonville, Indiana and Atlanta, Georgia.

The net decrease in rooms expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 partially resulted from a decrease in expenses of approximately $0.3 million after the sale of our property in Hampton, Virginia. The remaining net decrease in rooms expenses of approximately $0.3 million resulted from a reclassification of information and technology costs out of rooms expense and into indirect expenses by approximately $0.2 million, as well as an increase in rooms expenses at our property in Houston, Texas that was offset by decreases in rooms expenses at our properties impacted by renovation activities in Wilmington, North Carolina; Savannah, Georgia and Hollywood Beach, Florida and other rooms expense decreases at properties in Raleigh, North Carolina; Laurel, Maryland; Jacksonville, Florida; Tampa, Florida; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Jeffersonville, Indiana and Atlanta, Georgia.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider FFO, Adjusted FFO and Hotel EBITDA, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures, to be key supplemental measures of our performance and could be considered along with, not alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of our performance.  These measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or amounts available for our discretionary use and should not be considered alternative measures of net income, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP.

FFO and Adjusted FFO.   Industry analysts and investors use FFO as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT.  FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustment for any noncontrolling interest from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time.  Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself.

We consider FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income (loss) for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs.

We further adjust FFO for certain additional items that are not in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, including changes in deferred income taxes, any unrealized gain (loss) on hedging instruments or warrant derivative, loan impairment losses, losses on early extinguishment of debt, aborted offering costs, loan modification fees, franchise termination costs, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, litigation settlement, over-assessed real estate taxes on appeal, change in control gains or losses and acquisition transaction costs. We exclude these items as we believe it allows for meaningful comparisons between periods and among other REITs and is more indicative than FFO of the on-going performance of our business and assets. Our calculation of Adjusted FFO may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.

Hotel EBITDA .  We define Hotel EBITDA as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) income tax provision or benefit, (4) equity in the income or loss of equity investees, (5) unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments not included in other comprehensive income, (6) gains and losses on disposal of assets, (7) realized gains and losses on investments, (8) impairment of long-lived assets or investments, (9) loss on early debt extinguishment, (10) gains or losses on change in control, (11) corporate general and administrative expense, (12) depreciation and amortization, (13) gains and losses on involuntary conversions of assets and (14) other operating revenue not related to our wholly-owned portfolio.  We believe this provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our wholly-owned hotels and its operators have direct control.  We believe Hotel EBITDA provides investors with supplemental information on the on-going operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis.

Our calculation of Hotel EBITDA may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operating Activities.   Our principal source of cash to meet our operating requirements, including distributions to unitholders and stockholders as well as debt service (excluding debt maturities), is the operations of our hotels.  Cash flow was provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 with a net decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 of approximately $2.6 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.  The decrease is mainly attributable to a net decrease of adjustments to reconcile cash and changes in assets and liabilities of approximately $4.1 million, that was offset by an increase in net income of approximately $1.5 million.  We expect that cash on hand and the net cash provided by operations will be adequate to fund our continuing operations, monthly and quarterly scheduled payments of principal and interest (excluding any balloon payments due upon maturity of a debt) and the payment of dividends (distributions) to the Company’s stockholders (and unitholders of the Operating Partnership) in accordance with federal income tax laws which require us to make annual distributions, as “qualifying distributions,” to the Company’s stockholders of at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding its net capital gains, and reduced by certain non-cash items).

Investing Activities.   During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we used approximately $4.0 million to acquire our interest in the Hyde Resort and Residences, $12.5 million on capital expenditures, of which, approximately $2.4 million related to the routine replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment and $10.1 million related to renovation of our hotels in Wilmington, North Carolina, Savannah, Georgia and Hollywood Beach, Florida.  We also contributed approximately $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 into reserves required by the lenders for ten of our hotels according to the provisions of their respective loan agreements.  During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we received reimbursements from those reserves of approximately $3.6 million for capital expenditures related to those properties.  The Operating Partnership’s loan to the Company had a net balance after principle payments of approximately $4.7 million. We also received approximately $5.4 million for the sale of the Crowne Plaza Hampton Riverside and proceeds from insurance conversions of approximately $1.0 million.

Financing Activities . During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we received approximately $11.9 million for net mortgage proceeds, dividend and distribution payments of $4.7 million and the repurchase of common stock of the Company for approximately $1.1 million pursuant to the stock repurchase program and payments for deferred financing costs of approximately $0.6 million. Additionally, the Company provided approximately $4.9 million to the ESOP pursuant to the terms of its loan agreement with the ESOP.

37


Capital Expenditures

We anticipate that our need for recurring capital expenditures for the replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment over the next 12 to 24 months will be at historical norms for our properties and the industry.  Historically, we have aimed to maintain overall capital expenditures, except for those required by our franchisors as a condition to a franchise license or license renewal, at 4.0% of gross revenue.  Below is a description of capital expenditures by property:

 

At the Company’s hotel in Wilmington, North Carolina, renovations of the guestrooms and public spaces totaling an estimated $8.5 million are underway.  As of June 30, 2017, the Company had incurred costs totaling approximately $4.0 million toward this renovation.  Renovations are expected to be completed in March 2018.  

 

At the Company’s hotel in Savannah, Georgia, renovations of the guestrooms and public spaces totaling an estimated $9.4 million are nearing completion.  As of June 30, 2017, the Company had incurred costs totaling approximately $8.5 million toward this renovation.  Renovations are expected to be completed in August 2017.  

 

At the Company’s hotel in Hollywood Beach, Florida, renovations of the guestrooms and public spaces totaling an estimated $7.0 million are underway.  As of June 30, 2017, the Company had incurred costs totaling approximately $4.0 million toward this renovation.  Renovations are expected to be completed in October 2017.  

Given our desire to continue the renovation activities at our properties in Wilmington, North Carolina, Savannah, Georgia and Hollywood Beach, Florida, we aim to restrict all other capital expenditures at these hotels during the renovation period to the replacement of broken or damaged furniture and equipment and the acquisition of items mandated by our licensor that are necessary to maintain our brand affiliation.  We anticipate that capital expenditures for the replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment that are not related to these renovation activities to total 2.50% to 3.00% of gross revenues in 2017.

We expect a substantial portion of our capital expenditures for the recurring replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment at our properties will be funded by our replacement reserve accounts, other than costs that we incur to make capital improvements required by our franchisors.  Reserve accounts are escrowed accounts with funds deposited monthly and reserved for capital improvements or expenditures with respect to all of our hotels.  We currently deposit an amount equal to 4.0% of gross revenue for The DeSoto, the Hilton Wilmington Riverside, the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone-University, The Whitehall, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort and the Georgian Terrace as well as 4.0% of room revenues for the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport on a monthly basis.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2017, we had total cash of approximately $39.1 million, of which approximately $34.4 million was in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $4.6 million was restricted for real estate taxes, insurance, capital improvement and certain other expenses, or otherwise restricted.  We expect that our cash on hand combined with our cash flow from the operations of our hotels should be adequate to fund continuing operations, recurring capital expenditures for the refurbishment and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and monthly and quarterly scheduled payments of principal and interest (excluding any balloon payments due upon maturity of the indentures or mortgage debt).

 

Other than monthly mortgage loan principal payments, we do not have any debt obligations maturing until August 2018.  In August 2018, the mortgage on our DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University matures at the amortized mortgage balance of approximately $14.4 million.  We have approximately $69.2 million in debt obligations maturing in 2019, including $25.3 million of the Operating Partnership’s 7% Notes and approximately $43.9 million in mortgage debt maturities.

 

We intend to continue to invest in hotel properties as suitable opportunities arise. The success of our acquisition strategy depends, in part, on our ability to access additional capital. There can be no assurance that we will continue to make investments in properties that meet our investment criteria. Additionally, we may choose to dispose of certain hotels as a means to provide liquidity.

 

We expect to meet our liquidity requirements for hotel property acquisitions, property redevelopment, investments in new joint ventures and debt maturities, which include the repayment of the 7% Notes (which are callable after November 15, 2017) and the retirement of maturing mortgage debt, through net proceeds from additional issuances of common shares, additional issuances of preferred shares, issuances of units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership, secured and unsecured borrowings, the selective disposition of non-core assets, and cash on hand.  From time to time and subject to market conditions, we may also seek to refinance mortgage debt prior to maturity where appropriate.  We remain committed to a flexible capital structure and strive to maintain prudent debt leverage.

 

 

38


Financial Covenants

Mortgage Loans

Our mortgage loan agreements contain various financial covenants.  Failure to comply with these financial covenants could result from, among other things, changes in the local competitive environment, general economic conditions and disruption caused by renovation activity or major weather disturbances.

If we violate the financial covenants contained in these agreements, we may attempt to negotiate waivers of the violations or amend the terms of the applicable mortgage loan agreement with the lender; however, we can make no assurance that we would be successful in any such negotiation or that, if successful in obtaining waivers or amendments, such waivers or amendments would be on attractive terms.  Some mortgage loan agreements provide alternate cure provisions which may allow us to otherwise comply with the financial covenants by obtaining an appraisal of the hotel, prepaying a portion of the outstanding indebtedness or by providing cash collateral until such time as the financial covenants are met by the collateralized property without consideration of the cash collateral.  Alternate cure provisions which include prepaying a portion of the outstanding indebtedness or providing cash collateral may have a material impact on our liquidity.

If we are unable to negotiate a waiver or amendment or satisfy alternate cure provisions, if any, or unable to meet any alternate cure requirements and a default were to occur, we would possibly have to refinance the debt through additional debt financing, private or public offerings of debt securities, or additional equity financing.

Under the terms of our non-recourse secured mortgage loan agreements, failure to comply with the financial covenants in the loan agreement triggers cash flows from the property to be directed to the lender, which may limit our overall liquidity as that cash flow would not be available to us.

As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all debt covenants, current on all loan payments and not otherwise in default under any of our mortgage loans.

Unsecured Notes

The indenture for the 7% Notes contains certain covenants and restrictions that require us to meet certain financial ratios.  We are not permitted to incur any Debt (other than intercompany Debt), as defined in the indenture, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and to the application of the proceeds thereof, the ratio of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt to Adjusted Total Asset Value, as defined in the indenture, would be greater than 0.65 to 1.0.  In addition, we are not permitted to incur any Debt if the ratio of Stabilized Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to Stabilized Consolidated Interest Expense, both as defined in the indenture, on the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred, on a pro-forma basis, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and to the application of the proceeds thereof, would be less than 1.50 to 1.0.

As permitted by the indentures, The DeSoto, DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel, DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront and The Whitehall Resort, for the period ended June 30, 2017, and The DeSoto, DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel, DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront and The Whitehall Resort, for the period ended December 31, 2016, are considered non-stabilized assets for purposes of the financial covenants.

Dividend Policy

We intend to continue to declare quarterly distributions to our stockholders.  The amount of future common stock (and Operating Partnership unit) distributions will be based upon quarterly operating results, general economic conditions, requirements for capital improvements, the availability of debt and equity capital, the Internal Revenue Code’s annual distribution requirements and

40


other factors, which the Company’s board of directors deems relevant.  The amount, timing and frequency of distributions will be authorized by the Company’s board of directors and declared by us based upon a variety of factors deemed relevant by our directors, and no assurance can be given that our distribution policy will not change in the future.

In January 2017, we increased the quarterly dividend (distribution) to $0.10 per common share (and unit).

In April 2017, we increased the quarterly dividend (distribution) to $0.105 per common share (and unit).

In July 2017, we increased the quarterly dividend (distribution) to $0.11 per common share (and unit).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Inflation

We generate revenues primarily from lease payments from our TRS Lessees and net income from the operations of our TRS Lessees. Therefore, we rely primarily on the performance of the individual properties and the ability of the management company to increase revenues and to keep pace with inflation.  Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to keep pace with inflation.  However, competitive pressures at some or all of our hotels may limit the ability of the management company to raise room rates.

Our expenses, including hotel operating expenses, administrative expenses, real estate taxes and property and casualty insurance are subject to inflation. These expenses are expected to grow with the general rate of inflation, except for energy, liability insurance, property and casualty insurance, property tax rates, employee benefits, and some wages, which are expected to increase at rates higher than inflation.

Geographic Concentration and Seasonality

Our hotels are located in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas.  As a result, we are particularly susceptible to adverse market conditions in these geographic areas, including industry downturns, relocation of businesses and any oversupply of hotel rooms or a reduction in lodging demand.  Adverse economic developments in the markets in which we have a concentration of hotels, or in any of the other markets in which we operate, or any increase in hotel supply or decrease in lodging demand resulting from the local, regional or national business climate, could materially and adversely affect us.

The operations of our hotel properties have historically been seasonal.  The months of April and May are traditionally strong, as is October.  The periods from mid-November through mid-February are traditionally slow with the exception of hotels located in certain markets, namely Florida and Texas, which typically experience significant room demand during this period.

Critical Accounting Policies

The critical accounting policies are described below.  We consider these policies critical because they involve difficult management judgments and assumptions, are subject to material change from external factors or are pervasive, and are significant to fully understand and evaluate our reported financial results.

Investment in Hotel Properties. Hotel properties are stated at cost, net of any impairment charges, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 7-39 years for buildings and improvements and 3-10 years for furniture and equipment.  In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the controlling interests in hotels comprising our accounting predecessor, MHI Hotels Services Group, and noncontrolling interests held by the controlling holders of our accounting predecessor in hotels acquired from third parties, which were contributed to us in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, are recorded at historical cost basis.  Noncontrolling interests in those entities that comprise our accounting predecessor and the interests in hotels, other than those held by the controlling members of our accounting predecessor, acquired from third parties are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition.

We review our hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable.  Events or circumstances that may cause us to perform our review include, but are not limited to, adverse permanent changes in the demand for lodging at our properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where our hotels are located.  When such conditions exist, management performs a recoverability analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operating activities and the estimated

41


proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceed its car rying value.  If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are found to be less than the carrying amount of a hotel property, an adjustment to reduce the carrying value to the related hotel property’s estimated fair market value would be recorded and an impairment loss is recognized.

There were no charges for impairment of hotel properties recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

In performing the recoverability analysis, we project future operating cash flows based upon significant assumptions regarding growth rates, occupancy, room rates, economic trends, property-specific operating costs and future capital expenditures required to maintain the hotel in its current operating condition.  We also project cash flows from the eventual disposition of the hotel based upon various factors including property-specific capitalization rates, ratio of selling price to gross hotel revenues and the selling price per room.

Revenue Recognition.   Hotel revenues, including room, food, beverage and other hotel revenues, are recognized as the related services are delivered. We generally consider accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If we determine that amounts are uncollectible, which would generally be the result of a customer’s bankruptcy or other economic downturn, such amounts will be charged against operations when that determination is made.  Revenues are reported net of occupancy and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. Receivables for amounts earned under various contracts are subject to audit.

Income Taxes. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. Because of expected future taxable income of our TRS Lessee, we have not recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We regularly evaluate the likelihood that our TRS Lessee will be able to realize its deferred tax assets and the continuing need for a valuation allowance.  At each of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we determined, based on all available positive and negative evidence, that it is more-likely-than-not that future taxable income will be available during the carryforward periods to absorb all of the consolidated federal and state net operating loss carryforward.  A number of factors played a critical role in this determination, including:

 

a demonstrated track record of past profitability and utilization of past NOL carryforwards,

 

reasonable forecasts of future taxable income, and

 

anticipated changes in the lease rental payments from the TRS Lessee to subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. 

Should unanticipated adverse financial trends occur, or other negative evidence develop, a valuation allowance may be necessary in the future against some or all of our deferred tax assets.

Forward Looking Statements

Information included and incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our current strategies, expectations, and future plans are generally identified by our use of words, such as “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “potential,” “opportunity,” and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.  All statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans are forward-looking statements. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

 

national and local economic and business conditions that affect occupancy rates and revenues at our hotels and the demand for hotel products and services;

 

risks associated with the hotel industry, including competition and new supply of hotel rooms, increases in wages, energy costs and other operating costs;

 

the availability and terms of financing and capital and the general volatility of the securities markets;

42


 

the Company’s intent to repurchase shares from time to time;

 

risks associated with the level of our indebtedness and our ability to meet covenants in our debt agreements and, if necessary, to refinance or seek an extension of the maturity of such indebtedness or modify such debt agreements;

 

management and performance of our hotels;

 

risks associated with maintaining our system of internal controls;

 

risks associated with the conflicts of interest of the Company’s officers and directors;

 

risks associated with redevelopment and repositioning projects, including delays and cost overruns;

 

supply and demand for hotel rooms in our current and proposed market areas;

 

risks associated with our ability to maintain our franchise agreements with our third party franchisors;

 

our ability to acquire additional properties and the risk that potential acquisitions may not perform in accordance with expectations;

 

our ability to successfully expand into new markets;

 

legislative/regulatory changes, including changes to laws governing taxation of REITs;

 

the Company’s ability to maintain its qualification as a REIT; and

 

our ability to maintain adequate insurance coverage.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to vary from our forward-looking statements are set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statement contained in this report or incorporated by reference herein.  All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document.  All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section.  We undertake no obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or changes in expectations after the date of this report, except as required by law.  In addition, our past results are not necessarily indicative of our future results.

 

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The effects of potential changes in interest rates are discussed below.  Our market risk discussion includes “forward-looking statements” and represents an estimate of possible changes in fair value or future earnings that could occur assuming hypothetical future movements in interest rates.  These disclosures are not precise indicators of expected future losses, but only indicators of reasonably possible losses.  As a result, actual future results may differ materially from those presented.  The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates.

To meet in part our long-term liquidity requirements, we will borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates.  Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs.  From time to time we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments.  We do not intend to hold or issue derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

As of June 30, 2017, we had approximately $260.4 million of fixed-rate debt and approximately $61.3 million of variable-rate debt.  The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 4.85%.  A change in market interest rates on the fixed portion of our debt would impact the fair value of the debt, but have no impact on interest incurred or cash flows.  Our variable-rate debt is exposed to changes in interest rates, specifically the changes in 1-month LIBOR.  However, to the extent that 1-month LIBOR does not exceed the 1-month LIBOR floor on the mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport of 0.50%, a portion of our variable-rate debt would not be exposed to changes in interest rates.   Assuming that the aggregate amount outstanding on the mortgages on the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore, DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport and the mortgage on The Whitehall remains at approximately $61.3 million, the balance at June 30, 2017, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent increase in 1-month LIBOR would be approximately $0.6 million.

43


As of December 31, 2016, we had approximately $228.7 million of fixed-rate debt and approximately $81.1 million of variable-rate debt.  The weighte d-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 4.84%.  A change in market interest rates on the fixed portion of our debt would impact the fair value of the debt, but have no impact on interest incurred or cash flows.  Our variable-rate debt is exposed to changes in interest rates, specifically the changes in 1-month LIBOR.  However, to the extent that 1-month LIBOR does not exceed the 1-month LIBOR floor on the mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport of 0.50%, a portion of our variabl e-rate debt would not be exposed to changes in interest rates.   Assuming that the aggregate amount outstanding on the mortgages on the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore, DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport, DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront an d the mortgage on The Whitehall remains at approximately $81.1 million, the balance at December 31, 2016, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent increase in 1-month LIBOR would be approximately $0.8 million.

Cont rols and Procedures

Sotherly Hotels Inc.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, under the supervision and participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2017. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, its disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in its reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions, and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of the controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Sotherly Hotels Inc. have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in Sotherly Hotels Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during Sotherly Hotels Inc.’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Sotherly Hotels Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting.

Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions, and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The Operating Partnership’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., as general partner, does not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or the internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

(BUYER TO PROVIDE)

1. Purchase and Sale .

(a) Buyer agrees to buy, and Seller agrees to sell the Unit (as hereinafter defined) on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. The legal description of the Unit is: Condominium Unit CU-2 (the “Unit”) in the proposed 4010 SOUTH OCEAN CONDOMINIUM HOLLYWOOD (the “Condominium”). The Unit and the Condominium are described in greater detail in this Agreement and the proposed Declaration of Condominium (”Declaration”) included in the Prospectus for the Condominium and attached exhibits (collectively, the “Condominium Documents”). Buyer acknowledges receipt of the Condominium Documents and all documents required by Section 718.503, Florida Statues, to be furnished by a developer to a buyer on or before the date of this Agreement.


(b) The total purchase price for the Unit is F ive Million Four Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ( $ 5,10 0, 000.00 ) USD (the “Purchase Price”). In addition to the Purchase Price, Buyer also agrees to pay the fees, costs, reimbursements, adjustments and other sums required to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 11 below. Buyer understands and agrees that the Purchase Price of the Unit is not based solely upon the size of the Unit, but is also based on a number of different factors, including, without limitation, any of the following or any combination of the following: current market conditions, the location of the Unit within the Building, the Unit configuration, the floor level of the Unit within the Building, ceiling heights within the Unit and/or sizes of balconies, terraces, and/or patios and/or any other special appurtenant rights attached to the Unit.

2. Payment of the Purchase Price . Buyer agrees to make the following payments against the Purchase Price:

Payment

Due Date

Amount

Initial Deposit

Upon Buyer’s execution of this Agreement

$510,000.00

Balance

At Closing

$4,590,000.00

Total Purchase Price

 

$5,100,000.00

 

(a) Buyer expressly understands and agrees that Seller reserves the right to use Buyer’s deposits (both up to, and provided that Seller has placed Alternative Assurances, approved by the Division, in excess of, ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price of the Unit) in order to fund a significant portion of construction and development of the Condominium, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof and applicable Florida law.

(b) All payments required to be made hereunder, including all Deposits and any balance due at closing, must be paid by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds only. Even though Seller is not obligated to do so, if Seller accepts a deposit from Buyer which is made by personal check and/or cashiers’ check, same shall be made in United States funds and all checks must be payable on a bank located in the United States. Additionally, even though Seller is not obligated to do so, if Seller accepts a deposit from Buyer drawn on a foreign bank and/or payable in a currency other than U.S. currency, Buyer shall be solely responsible for all costs of collection and/or conversion and agrees to pay same to Seller promptly upon demand or, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, Seller may permit such costs to be charged to Buyer at the time of closing. If Buyer fails to pay any deposit on time, and Seller agrees to accept it on a later date (which Seller is not obligated to do), Buyer will pay a late funding charge equal to interest on such deposit at the then applicable highest lawful rate from the date due until the date received by Seller and cleared by the bank on which it is drawn.

(c) Buyer also agrees to pay all fees, costs, expenses and/or other sums required to be paid by Buyer in this Agreement. At the present time, the costs for which dollar amounts can be computed are :

$N/A (See Addendum) - 1.70% Development Fee

$(See Addendum) -Initial Contribution to the Condominium Association These charges are subject to change as provided in Section 11 of this Agreement and are explained in more detail in that Section, as are other costs which cannot be computed at this time.


3. How Buyer Pays . Buyer understands and agrees that Buyer will be obligated to pay “all cash” at closing and this Agreement is not contingent or conditioned upon Buyer obtaining financing. This Agreement and Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Unit will not depend on whether or not Buyer qualifies for or obtains a mortgage from any lender. Buyer will be solely responsible for making Buyer’s own financial arrangements. Although Seller does not have to do so, if Seller agrees to delay closing until Buyer’s lender is ready, or to wait for funding from Buyer’s lender until after closing, or to accept a portion of the sums due at closing in the form of a personal check (which Seller shall have no obligation to do), Buyer agrees to pay Seller a late funding charge equal to interest, at the then highest applicable lawful rate on all funds due Seller which have not then been paid to Seller (and, with regard to personal checks, which have not then cleared the bank on which they are drawn) from the date Seller originally scheduled closing to the date of actual payment (and, with regard to personal checks, to the date of final clearance). This late funding charge may be estimated and charged by Seller at closing. Seller’s estimate will be adjusted after closing based on actual funding and clearance dates upon either Seller’s or Buyer’s written request. Without limiting the generality of Section 29 of this Agreement, the foregoing sentence will survive (continue to be effective after) closing.

4. Deposits .

(a) Developer has entered into an escrow agreement with Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Escrow Agent”), with offices at 13800 N.W. 14th Street, Suite 190, Sunrise, Florida 33323, for the holding, disbursement and administration of Buyer’s deposits, all in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement, this Agreement and the Florida Condominium Act (Chapter 718 of the Florida Statutes). A copy of the escrow agreement is included in the Condominium Documents. The escrow agreement is incorporated into this Agreement as if repeated at length herein, and Buyer agrees that the deposits may be held in any depository which meets the requirements of the Act, including, without limitation, a financial institution chartered and located out of the State of Florida.

(b) Buyer understands and agrees that all of Buyer’s deposits in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price may be used by Seller for construction and development purposes as permitted by law. In addition to the foregoing, to the extent of any approved “Alternative Assurances”, Seller may, as permitted by law, and in lieu of holding deposits up to ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price in escrow, cause the Escrow Agent to disburse such deposits to it for all uses permitted by law. Buyer agrees that the posting of Alternative Assurances or any change to the Alternative Assurances shall not be deemed a material or adverse change in the offering of the Condominium by reason of the fact that Buyer has already agreed to the use of Buyer’s deposits up to ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price. Accordingly, Buyer understands and agrees that Seller reserves the right to utilize all of Buyer’s deposits (both up to, and in excess of, ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price) as and to the extent permitted by law. Buyer should expect that its deposits up to, and in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price may not remain in escrow.

(c) At closing, all deposits not previously disbursed to Seller will be released to Seller. Except where expressly provided herein to the contrary or otherwise required by law, all interest earned on Buyer’s deposits shall accrue solely to the benefit of Seller. Interest shall not be credited against the Purchase Price of the Unit. Buyer further understands and agrees that to the extent that deposit monies are removed from escrow and used as permitted herein, said monies are not available for investment and accordingly no interest shall be earned or deemed to be earned (even if Seller indirectly benefits from the use of said funds). No interest will be assumed to be earned, unless in fact said sums are invested in an interest bearing account and do in fact earn interest. Subject to the terms of Section 13 below, in the event of an uncured default by Buyer and the retention of the Deposit, or any portion thereof, by Seller, Seller shall also be entitled to retain any interest earned thereon. Seller may change escrow agents (as long as the new escrow agent is authorized to be an escrow agent under applicable


Florida law), in which case Buyers deposits, or the portions thereof then being held in escrow, and any interest actually earned on them, may be transferred to the new escrow agent at Seller’s direction. If Buyer so requests, Buyer may obtain a receipt for Buyer’s deposits from the Escrow Agent.

5. Seller’s Financing/Buyer’s Waiver and Subordination . Seller may borrow (or may have borrowed) money from lenders (each, a “Developer’s Lender”) for the acquisition, development, refinancing and/or construction of the Condominium and/or Unit (and any other units owned by Seller, if any). Buyer agrees that any and each Developer’s Lender will have, until closing, a prior, superior mortgage on or other interest in the Unit, and the Condominium (or the real property upon which the Condominium will be created), with greater priority than any rights or interest Buyer may have therein, if any, pursuant to this Agreement or under any principal of equity or otherwise. At closing, Seller shall cause the then applicable mortgages to be released as an encumbrance against the Unit and may use Buyer’s closing proceeds for such purpose. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer’s rights and interest under this Agreement (and the deposits made hereunder) are and will be, automatically and without further action or instrument, subordinate to all mortgages, mezzanine and any other forms of financing (and all modifications made to those mortgages, mezzanine and any other forms of financing) affecting the Unit or the Condominium (or the real property upon which the Condominium is being developed) even if those mortgages, mezzanine and any other forms of financing provided by a Developer’s Lender (or modifications) are made or recorded after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer agrees that neither this Agreement, nor Buyer’s making the Deposits (and/or Seller’s use of deposits as permitted hereunder), will give Buyer any lien (equitable or otherwise) or claim against the Unit, the Condominium or the real property upon which the Condominium has been (or will be) created and Buyer knowingly, fully and unconditionally waives and releases any right to assert any such lien or claim. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) any and each Developer’s Lender is an express third party beneficiary of this Section 5, and (ii) this Section 5 and the rights of any and each Developer’s Lender under this Section 5 shall survive (continue to be effective dates) any termination, rescission or other voiding of this Agreement, and any default by Developer under this Agreement.

6. Insulation; Energy Efficiency .  Seller has advised Buyer, as required by the rules of the Federal Trade Commission, that it intends, currently, to install in connection with the Unit, the following insulation: (a) R. Foil insulation on the exterior walls, having an R-Value of R-4.7 and a thickness of 1/8“ (b) Fiberglass Blanket insulation on the demising walls, having an R-Value of R-19 and a thickness of 6” and (c) Fiberglass Blanket insulation on the roof, having an average R-Value of R-19 and a thickness of 6”. This R-value information is based solely on the information given by the appropriate manufacturers and Buyer agrees that Seller is not responsible for the manufacturers’ errors. Pursuant to applicable law, Buyer shall have the option to obtain an energy efficiency rating on the Unit being purchased. Buyer hereby releases Seller from any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or level of the rating and Buyer understands and agrees that this Agreement is not contingent upon Buyer’s approval of the rating, that the rating is solely for Buyer’s own information and that Buyer will pay the total cost of obtaining the rating. All insulation and energy efficiency rating information is subject to Seller’s general right, under Sections 14, 28 and 30 below to make changes in Seller’s Plans and Specifications, and to applicable limitations of Seller’s liability to Buyer.

7. Completion Date .

(a) Seller estimates that it will substantially complete construction of the Unit, in the manner specified in this Agreement, by approximately December 31, 2019, subject, however, only to delays resulting from “Force Majeure” (such date as extended by events of Force Majeure, the “Outside Date”). The term “Force Majeure” as used in this Agreement shall mean “Acts of God”, labor disputes (whether lawful or not), work stoppages, material or labor shortages, restrictions or delays by any


governmental or utility authority or any court of law, civil riots, floods or other causes beyond Seller’s control.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision of this Agreement, Seller shall have the right, in Seller’s sole discretion, to cancel this Agreement and cause Buyer’s deposits to be refunded in the event that Seller does not enter into binding contracts to sell at least eighty percent (80%) of the Units in the Condominium within one (1) year following the date of this Agreement (the “Contingency Expiration Date). Seller must, however, notify Buyer of such a termination of the Agreement pursuant to this clause within thirty days following the Contingency Expiration Date. The foregoing presale contingency is a provision solely for the benefit of Seller, and may be waived unilaterally by Seller. Accordingly, Seller may elect to waive the contingency, whether or not the stated presales threshold has been met. In the event that Seller does elect to proceed without having met the threshold, Buyer will have no right to object thereto and shall remain bound by the terms of this Agreement. This Section shall not delay the effectiveness of this Agreement, which shall be immediate, but, rather, shall be deemed a “condition subsequent” to this Agreement. In the event of Seller’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section, Buyer shall be entitled to an immediate refund of Buyer’s deposits and upon such termination and the return of Buyer’s deposits, Seller and Buyer will be fully relieved and released from all obligations and liabilities under and in connection with this Agreement (other than those which are intended to survive termination). Seller agrees to use its good faith efforts to meet the foregoing pre-sale requirement, provided, however, that while Seller recognizes that there may be some seasonal variations, Seller may reasonably anticipate sales to occur at a relatively consistent rate throughout the presale contingency period. As such, to the extent that, prior to the Contingency Expiration Date, Seller reasonably believes that the sales will not achieve the presales threshold set forth above, then Seller may terminate this Agreement prior to the Contingency Expiration Date, and such termination shall not be deemed a breach of Seller’s obligation to use its good faith efforts to achieve the pre-sale requirement.

8. Inspection Prior to Closing .

(a) Buyer will be given an opportunity prior to closing, on the date and at the time scheduled by Seller, to inspect the Unit with Seller’s representative. At that time, Buyer will sign an inspection statement listing any alleged defects in workmanship or materials (only within the boundaries of the Unit, itself) which Buyer discovers. If any item listed is actually defective in workmanship or materials (keeping in mind the construction standards applicable in Broward County, Florida for properties of similar, type, style and age), Seller shall, subject to the other provisions hereof, be obligated to repair those items at its cost within a reasonable period of time after closing, but Seller’s obligation to do so will not be grounds for deferring the closing, nor for imposing any condition on closing. No escrows or holdbacks of closing funds will be permitted. Buyer understands and agrees that Seller’s obligation to repair items in the Unit noted during the pre-closing inspection shall automatically terminate (with Seller having no further obligations for such items) upon the date that Buyer commences construction and/or improvement of the Unit, whether or not a permit has been obtained. If Buyer fails to take advantage of the right to a pre-closing inspection on the date and time scheduled, Seller will not be obligated to reschedule an inspection prior to closing and Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Unit in its “AS IS/WHERE-IS” condition (subject only to any warranty obligations of Seller to the extent applicable and not then expired).

(b) From and after the closing, Buyer hereby grants Seller and its agents, employees and contractors access to the Unit at reasonable times during normal business hours to complete any necessary repairs to the Unit. If Buyer cannot be present at the time such work is to be performed to facilitate completion of such work, Buyer hereby authorizes Seller, its agents, employees, contractors and sub-contractors to enter the Unit for such purposes using a master key or a key maintained by the


Association. If Buyer cannot or elects not to be present at the time that Seller performs any such work, Buyer hereby waives and releases Seller (its partners, members, managers, contractors, sub-contractors, employees, agents, designees and assigns) from any and all claims that Buyer may have against Seller (its partners, managers, members, contractors, sub-contractors, employees, agents, designees and assigns) relating to damage to or theft of property from the Unit that is not due to the negligence or intentional act of Seller or its partners, members, managers, contractors, sub-contractors, employees, agents, designees and/or assigns. Buyer acknowledges that all matters pertaining to the initial construction of the Unit will be handled by Seller and Seller’s representatives. Buyer agrees not to interfere with or interrupt any workers at the site of the Unit. No personal inspections (other than the one pre-closing inspection referred to above) will be permitted. Buyer may not commence any work on the Unit, other than prepaid options or extras that Seller agrees in writing to provide, until after closing. Buyer recognizes that Seller is not obligated to agree to provide extras or options.

(c) Buyer can examine Seller’s Plans and Specifications at Seller’s business office, located on site or otherwise at a location identified by the Seller, during regular business hours by making an appointment to do so in advance.

(d) The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive (continue to be effective after) closing.

9. Closing Date .

(a) Buyer understands and agrees that Seller has the right to schedule the date, time and place for closing, which shall in no event be scheduled later than one (1) year following the Outside Date, however Buyer understands and agrees that the closing may be scheduled sooner, with the exact time, date and place to be determined by seller.

(b) Before Seller can require Buyer to close, however, two things must be done: (i) Seller must record the Declaration and related documents in the Broward County Public Records; and (ii) Seller must obtain a temporary, partial or permanent certificate of completion for or covering the Unit from the proper governmental agency but, subject and subordinate to the provisions of Section 8 and 30 of this Agreement (without limiting the generality of those provisions by this specific reference), the Common Elements and other portions of the Condominium Property need not then have certificates of occupancy or completion, nor be completed. Seller does, however, agree to complete those amenities within a reasonable period of time following closing provided, however, that no closing shall occur until the certificate of substantial completion described in Section 718.104(4)(e), F.S. shall have first been recorded. Seller does however, agree to provide or complete, within a reasonable period of time following closing, those roads and facilities for water, sewer, gas, electricity and recreational amenities, which Seller or its agents have represented Seller will provide or complete, or Seller has committed to provide or complete in accordance with the terms of the Condominium Documents. The foregoing sentence shall survive (continue to be effective after) closing.

(c) Buyer will be given at least ten (10) days’ notice of the date, time and place of closing. Seller is authorized to postpone the closing for any reason and Buyer will close on the new date, time and place specified in a notice of postponement (as long as at least three (3) days’ notice of the new date, time and place is given). A change of time or place of closing only (one not involving a change of date) will not require any additional notice period. Any formal notice of closing, postponement or rescheduling may be given by Seller orally, by telephone, e-mail, facsimile, mail or other reasonable means of communication at Seller’s option. All of these notices will be sent or directed to the address, or given by use of the information specified on Page 1 of this Agreement unless Seller has received written notice from Buyer of any change prior to the date the notice is given. These notices will be effective on


the date given or mailed (as appropriate). An affidavit of one of Seller’s employees or agents stating that this notice was given or mailed will be conclusive.  After the notice is given or mailed, and if requested in writing by Buyer, Seller will send a written confirmation of the closing, together with a draft closing statement and other pertinent information and instructions. This written confirmation is given merely as a courtesy and is not the formal notice to close. Accordingly, it does not need to be received by any particular date prior to closing. Buyer agrees, however, to follow all instructions given in any formal notice and written confirmation. If Buyer fails to receive any of these notices or the confirmation because Buyer failed to advise Seller of any change of mailing address, e-mail address, phone number or telecopy number, because Buyer has failed to pick up a letter when Buyer has been advised of an attempted delivery or because of any other reason, Buyer will not be relieved of Buyer’s obligation to close on the scheduled date unless Seller agrees in writing to postpone the scheduled date. If Seller agrees in writing to reschedule closing at Buyer’s request, or if Buyer is a corporation or other entity and Buyer fails to produce the necessary documentation Seller requests and, as a result, closing is delayed, or if closing is delayed for any other reason (except for a delay desired, requested or caused by Seller), Buyer agrees to pay at closing a late funding charge equal to interest, at the then highest applicable lawful rate, on that portion of the Purchase Price not then paid to Seller (and cleared), from the date Seller originally scheduled closing to the date of actual closing. Buyer agrees that the late funding charge is appropriate in order to cover, among other things, Seller’s administrative and other expenses resulting from a delay in closing. Buyer understands that Seller is not required to reschedule or to permit a delay in closing at Buyer’s request.

10. Closing .

(a) The term “closing” refers to the time when Seller delivers the deed to the Unit to Buyer and ownership changes hands. Buyer’s ownership is referred to as “title”. Seller promises that the title Buyer will receive at closing will be good, marketable and insurable (subject to the permitted exceptions listed or referred to below and the other provisions of this Agreement).  

(b) Buyer agrees that Seller’s designee shall act as closing agent and shall issue the title insurance commitment (and subsequent title insurance policy), which shall be paid for by Seller as provided hereafter. Buyer will receive from Seller two (2) documents at closing which Buyer agrees to accept as proof that Buyer’s title is as represented above:

(i) A written commitment , from a title insurance company licensed in Florida agreeing to issue a policy insuring title or the policy itself. This commitment (or policy) will list any exceptions to title. Permitted exceptions (exceptions which Buyer agrees to take title subject to) are:

(1) Liability for all taxes or assessments affecting the Unit, which are not yet due and payable, starting the year Buyer receives title and continuing thereafter;

(2) All laws, and all restrictions, covenants, conditions, limitations, agreements, reservations and easements now or hereafter recorded in the public records, which may include, without limitation, zoning restrictions, property use limitations and obligations, easements (rights-of-way) and agreements relating to telephone lines, water and sewer lines, storm water management and other utilities;

(3) The restrictions, covenants, conditions, easements, terms and other provisions imposed by the documents contained or referred to in the


Condominium Documents (and any other documents which Seller, in its sole discretion, believes to be necessary or appropriate) which are recorded, now or at any time after the date of this Agreement, in the Public Records of Broward County;

(4) The rights of the public for use of the baywalk, if any, over portions of the Common Elements along the Intracoastal waterway;

(5) The restrictions, covenants, easements, conditions, terms and other provisions set forth in the Zoning Regulations and in the Development Covenants, including, without limitation, rights of third parties to construct, operate and maintain the marina located within the Common Elements, if any.

(6) The restrictions, covenants, easements, conditions, terms and other provisions set forth in any Brand Agreement.

(7) Standard exceptions for waterfront property and artificially filled in property which once was in navigable waters and all other standard exceptions for similar property;

(8) Any open Notice of Commencement related to Seller’s construction or development of, among other things, the Condominium (although Seller will provide an unsecured indemnification to the title insurer selected by Seller, on a form reasonably acceptable to Seller, to induce the title insurer selected by Seller to insure Buyer’s title without exception for unfiled construction liens relating to the Notice of Commencement);

(9) Pending governmental liens as of closing (Seller will be responsible, however, for certified governmental liens or special assessment liens as of closing, provided, however, that to the extent that any such certified liens are then due or are payable in installments, Seller shall only be responsible for those payments and/or installments due prior to closing, and Buyer hereby assumes all payments and/or installments coming due after closing);

(10) All standard printed exceptions contained in an ALTA Owner’s title insurance policy issued in Broward County, Florida; and

(11) Any matters not listed above as long as title insurance coverage is available for these matters from a nationally recognized title insurer.

(ii) A Special Warranty Deed . At closing, Seller promises to give Buyer a special warranty deed to the Unit. The special warranty deed will be subject to (that is, contain exceptions for) all of the matters described above.

(c) Buyer will receive at closing Seller’s form of owner’s (“no lien”) affidavit, closing agreement, FIRPTA (non-foreign) affidavit and an assignment of any appurtenances to the Unit, if any, as described herein. When Buyer receives the special warranty deed at closing, Buyer will sign Seller’s closing agreement, a settlement statement, if Buyer is a legal entity, an affidavit, and/or other evidence required by Seller or Seller’s closing agent, certifying the identity of the “beneficial owner(s)” (as such term is defined by the United States Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) of the entity and the authorized representative of the entity, and otherwise as may


be required to comply with any requirements of any orders now or hereafter issued by FinCEN (or any other governmental or quasi-governmental agencies), and all papers that Seller deems reasonably necessary or appropriate for transactions of this nature.

(d) If Seller cannot provide the quality of title described above, Seller will have a reasonable period of time (at least sixty (60) days) to correct any defects in title. If Seller cannot, after making reasonable efforts to do so (which shall not require the bringing of lawsuits or the payment or satisfaction of involuntary liens or judgments) correct the title defects, Buyer will have two options:

(i) Buyer can accept title in the condition Seller offers it (with defects) and pay the full Purchase Price for the Unit with exceptions for such title matters to be contained in the special warranty deed for the Unit. Buyer will not make any claims against Seller because of the defects; or

(ii) Buyer can cancel this Agreement and receive a full refund of Buyer’s deposits.

(e) At the same time Buyer receives the special warranty deed, Buyer agrees to pay the balance of the Purchase Price and any additional amounts owed under this Agreement. Seller has no obligation to accept funds other than as set forth in Section 3 above. Until all sums have been received and cleared, Seller will be entitled to a vendor’s lien on the Unit (which Buyer agrees Seller may unilaterally record in the Public Records of the County).

(f) At or prior to closing, Buyer must present written evidence to Seller that Buyer has established an account for electric service to the Unit with FP&L (or any successor supplier or electric service to the Unit) and that electric service to the unit is to commence (on Buyer’s account) as of closing.

(g) The provisions of this Section shall survive (continue to be effective after) closing.

11. Additional Fees and Costs .

(a) Buyer understands and agrees that, in addition to the Purchase Price for the Unit, Buyer must pay certain other fees, costs or other sums when the title is delivered to Buyer at closing. These include:

(i) A “development fee” equal to one and seven tenths percent (1.70%) of the Purchase Price (and of any charges for options or extras now or hereafter contracted for which are not included in the Purchase Price).

(ii) A working capital contribution in an amount equal to the aggregate of twice the regular monthly assessment for the Unit due to the Condominium Association, as determined at the time of closing, and which contribution is payable directly to the Association to provide it with funds. This contribution may be used by the Condominium Association for any purpose, including, payment of ordinary Common Expenses or operating costs, and will not be credited against regular assessments or charges. This amount of this contribution may change, however, if the monthly assessments change prior to closing (see Section 17). To the extent that Seller elects to fund deficits as provided in the Declaration, no portion of the contribution shall be used for payment of Common Expenses prior to the expiration of the period during which Seller is excused from payment of assessments.


(iii) Any and all sales tax due in connection with the acquisition of any furnishings, finishes and/or equipment.

(iv) A reimbursement to Seller for any utility, cable or interactive communication deposits or hook-up fees, and/or governmental impact fees, which Seller may have advanced prior to closing for the Unit or applicable to the Unit, together with any deposits charged by the utility provider in connection with opening accounts for utility services intended to be charged directly to the Unit. The amount of these charges is now unknown.

(v) Any remaining outstanding sums and/or any sales tax due  for any options or upgrading of standard items included, or to be included, in the Unit as agreed to in writing by both Buyer and Seller.

(vi) Reimbursement to Seller, and/or Seller’s closing agents, for charges incurred in connection with any State, Federal or local rules, regulations or ordinances mandating reporting (including, without limitation, any targeting orders or equivalent issued by FinCEN or any governmental or quasi-governmental agencies) and/or coordinating the closing with Buyer and/or Buyer’s lender, including, without limitation, charges for messenger expenses, long distance telephone calls, photocopying expenses, telecopying charges and others. The amount of these charges is now unknown.

(vii) In the event of increases in either the recording fees imposed by the County, the documentary stamp tax rates or the promulgated title insurance premiums, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, or in the event of the imposition of any surcharge or any new governmental tax or charge on deeds or conveyances, Buyer agrees to pay all such increases, surcharges or new taxes or charges, in addition to the development fee.

(viii) All fees and charges payable to any attorney selected by Buyer to represent Buyer. The amount of any such charges is now unknown; and

(ix) The late funding charges provided for elsewhere in this Agreement. The amount of any such charges is now unknown.

(b) Seller agrees to pay the following closing costs at closing:

(i) the costs of officially recording the deed in the Public Records of the County (presently, recording fees are $10.00 for the first page of an instrument and $8.50 for each additional page);

(ii) documentary stamp taxes payable in connection with the deed conveying the Unit to Buyer (presently, documentary stamp taxes are $.70 for each $100.00 of consideration); and

(iii) the title insurance premium for any title insurance policy issued by Seller’s closing agent.  

(c) Buyer understands and agrees that Seller may utilize the “development fee” for payment of the closing costs for which Seller is obligated, but that the balance of the “development fee” shall be retained by Seller to provide additional revenue and to offset certain of its construction and


development expenses, including without limitation, certain of Seller’s administration expenses and Seller’s attorneys’ fees in connection with development of the Condominium. Accordingly, Buyer understands and agrees that the development fee is not for payment of closing costs or settlement services (other than to the extent expressly provided above), but rather represents additional funds to Seller which are principally intended to provide additional revenue and to cover various out-of-pocket and internal costs and expenses of Seller associated with development of the Condominium.

(d) If Buyer obtains a loan for any portion of the Purchase Price, Buyer will be obligated to pay any loan fees, closing costs, escrows, appraisals, credit fees, lender’s title insurance premiums, prepayments and all other expenses charged by any lender giving Buyer a mortgage, if applicable. Additionally, if Buyer obtains a loan and elects to have Seller’s closing agent act as “loan” closing agent as well, Buyer agrees to pay, in addition to any other sums described in this Agreement, such closing agent an aggregate sum equal to $995.00, for a simultaneously issued mortgagee’s title insurance policy, the agent’s title examination, title searching and closing services related to acting as “loan closing agent”. In addition to that sum, Buyer shall be obligated to pay the premiums (at promulgated rate) for any title endorsements requested by Buyer’s lender. Notwithstanding any of the references in this paragraph to Buyer obtaining a loan, nothing herein shall be deemed to make this Agreement, or the Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement, conditional or contingent in any manner on the Buyer obtaining a loan to finance any portion of the Purchase Price; it being the agreement of the Buyer that the Buyer shall be obligated to close “all cash” and that no delays in closing shall be provided to accommodate loan closings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall require Buyer to choose to elect Seller’s closing agent to act as loan closing agent, nor shall anything herein obligate Seller’s closing agent to act as loan closing agent (even if selected by Buyer).

(e) Current expenses of the Unit (for example, taxes and governmental assessments, levies and/or use fees and current monthly assessments of the Association and any interim service fees imposed by governmental authority) will be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the date of closing. Additionally, at closing, Buyer shall be obligated to prepay the next month’s maintenance assessment to the Association. This prepayment is in addition to Buyer’s obligation to pay the working capital contribution, as described above.  If taxes for the year of closing are assessed on the Condominium as a whole, Buyer shall pay Seller, at closing, the Unit’s allocable share of those taxes (as estimated by Seller and subject to reproration when the actual tax bill is available) from the date of closing through the end of the applicable calendar year of closing. Buyer should understand that during the year in which the Declaration of Condominium is recorded, it is likely that real property taxes may be assessed as a whole against the entire property comprising the Condominium (rather than on a unit-by-unit basis, which is how the Condominium will be assessed during all years following the year during which the Declaration is recorded). As such, if Buyer is closing in the calendar year during which the Declaration is recorded, Buyer should anticipate having to pay to Seller, at closing, the estimated prorated amount of real property taxes attributable to the Unit for the period from the date of closing through December 31 of the year of closing; and based upon the perceived value of the Unit, such amount will, in all likelihood, be a substantial sum. If taxes for the year of closing are assessed on a unit-by-unit basis, Buyer and Seller shall prorate taxes as of the closing date based upon the actual tax bill, if available, or an estimate by Seller, if not available, with Buyer responsible for paying the full amount of the tax bill and Seller reimbursing Buyer for Seller’s prorated share of those taxes. Buyer agrees that Seller’s prorated share of the taxes due as of closing need not be paid to Buyer, however, until the actual tax bill is presented to Seller, and any proration based on an estimate of the current year’s taxes shall be subject to reproration upon request of either party, provided, however, that any request for reproration is made within six (6) months following the issuance of the actual tax bill for the Unit (it being assumed, for purposes hereof, that tax bills are issued on November 1 of each tax year) or the date of the final determination of any property tax appeal (if the taxes for the year of proration have been appealed). No request for proration made beyond the six (6) month period shall be valid or enforceable. In addition, Buyer shall pay, or reimburse Seller if then


paid, for any interim proprietary and/or general service fees imposed by any governmental municipality or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Unit. This paragraph shall survive (continue to be effective after) closing.

12. Adjustments with the Association . Buyer understands that Seller may advance money to the Condominium Association to permit it to pay for certain of its expenses (for example, but without limitation, insurance premiums, Common Element utility and/or cable or other interactive communication charges and deposits, permit and license fees, charges for service contracts, salaries of employees of the Condominium Association and other similar expenses). Seller is entitled to be reimbursed by the Condominium Association for all of these sums advanced by Seller, to the extent in excess of Seller’s assessment obligations (and/or deficit funding obligations, if any). To the extent that Seller is entitled to reimbursement, the Condominium Association will reimburse Seller out of regular assessments paid by Buyer and other owners as those contributions and assessments are collected, or as otherwise requested by Seller. Seller also, at its election, may receive reimbursement (to the extent that it is otherwise entitled to reimbursement) for these payments by way of a credit against any sums it may become obligated to pay to the Condominium Association. To the extent that there is any guarantee of assessments in place and in effect, no initial contributions of purchasers to the Condominium Association may be used for such purposes however. The provisions of this Section 12 will survive (continue to be effective after) closing.

13. Default .

(a) If Buyer fails to perform any of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement (including making scheduled deposits and other payments) Buyer will be in “default”. If Buyer is still in default twenty (20) days after Seller sends Buyer written notice thereof, Seller shall be entitled to the remedies provided herein. If, however, Buyer’s default is as a result of  failing to close on the scheduled date, then in addition to all other remedies provided herein (if any), Seller can cancel this Agreement without giving Buyer any prior (or subsequent) notification or opportunity to close at a later date.

(b) Upon Buyer’s default (and the expiration of any notice period, if applicable), all Buyer’s rights under this Agreement will end and Seller can terminate this Agreement and resell the Unit for a higher or lower price without any accounting to Buyer.  Buyer understands that because Seller has taken the Unit off the market for Buyer, has spent money on sales, advertising, promotion and construction and has incurred other costs incident to this sale, Buyer’s default will damage Seller.  As compensation for this damage, in the event Seller cancels this Agreement because of Buyer’s default, Buyer authorizes Seller to keep (or if not then paid by Buyer, Buyer will pay to Seller) all deposits and other pre-closing advance payments (including, without limitation, those on options, extras, upgrades and the like) Buyer has then made (and which would have been required to have been made had Buyer not defaulted) and all interest which was, or would have been, earned on them, all as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty).  Buyer and Seller agree to this because there is no other precise method of determining Seller's damages.  Any damage or loss that occurs to the Condominium Property and/or The Properties while Buyer is in default will not affect Seller's right to liquidated damages. Seller shall also have the right to seek to specifically enforce this Agreement against Buyer in the event of an uncured default by Buyer.

(c) If Seller fails to perform any of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, Seller will be in “default”. If Seller is still in default ten (10) days after Buyer sends Seller notice thereof (or such longer time as may reasonably be necessary to cure the default if same cannot be reasonably cured within ten (10) days), Buyer may pursue such rights as may be available in equity and/or under applicable law, except that absent an intentional default by Seller, Buyer may not seek to specifically enforce this Agreement, and Seller is entitled to defend itself to the maximum lawful extent.


The provisions of this Section 13 will survive (continue to be effective after) termination of this Agreement and/or closing.

14. Construction Specifications .

(a) The Unit and the Condominium will be constructed in substantial accordance with the plans and specifications therefor kept in Seller’s construction office, as such plans and specifications are amended from time to time. Seller may make such changes in the plans and specifications that it deems appropriate at any time, to accommodate it in the field construction needs (as more fully discussed in this Section 14) and in response to recommendations or requirements of local, state or federal governmental or quasi-governmental agencies or applicable utility and/or insurance providers or Seller’s design professionals and/or contractors or suppliers. Such plans and specifications, as they are so amended, are referred to in this Agreement as “Seller’s Plans and Specifications”. Without limiting Seller’s general right to make changes, Buyer specifically agrees that the changes described above,  changes to Units to cause same to be readily accessible for handicapped persons and/or to otherwise comply with applicable disability requirements of City, State or Federal law and changes in the location of utility (including, but not limited to, television, intranet, internet, antennae and telephone and other technologies, equipment and wiring) lead-ins and outlets, air-conditioning equipment, ducts and components, lighting fixtures and electric panel boxes, and in the general layout of the Unit and Condominium, may be made by Seller in its discretion. To the extent that Unit is constructed and finished in a manner to be readily accessible to handicapped persons and/or to otherwise comply with applicable disability requirements of City, State or Federal law, Buyer understands and agrees that the Unit must be maintained in that condition and that Buyer shall be precluded from altering those features of the Unit.

(b) In furtherance of the understanding and agreement stated above, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is a widely observed construction industry practice for pre-construction plans and specifications for any unit or building to be changed and adjusted from time to time in order to accommodate on-going, “in the field” construction needs. These changes and adjustments are essential in order to permit all components of the Unit and the Building to be integrated into a well-functioning and aesthetically pleasing product in an expeditious manner. Because of the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is to Buyer’s benefit to allow Seller the flexibility to make such changes in the Unit and the Condominium.

(c) Buyer further understands and agrees that Seller may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine to build- out certain units in the Condominium in a manner designed to be handicapped accessible, which may include, without limitation, the installation of grab bars and alterations to the standard floor plan for the Unit. In the event that Seller elects to build-out the Unit in such manner, Buyer shall be deemed to have authorized and agreed to same, and to accept same at closing, without claim against Seller. Buyer further understands and agrees that Buyer may not make any alteration to the Unit subsequent to closing that may affect its suitability for handicapped persons.

(d) Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that (i) the plans and specifications for the Unit and the Condominium on file with the applicable governmental authorities may not, initially, be identical in detail to Seller’s Plans and Specifications, and (ii) because of the day-to-day nature of the changes described in this Section 14, the plans and specifications on file with applicable governmental authorities may not include some or any of these changes (there being no legal requirement to file all changes with such authorities). As a result of the foregoing, Buyer and Seller both acknowledge and agree that the Unit and the Condominium may not be constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications on file with applicable governmental authorities. Without limiting the generality of Section 28, Seller disclaims and Buyer waives any and all express or implied warranties that construction will be accomplished in compliance with such plans and specifications. Seller has not given and Buyer has not


relied on or bargained for any such warranties. In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event of any conflict between the actual construction of the Unit and/or the Building, and that which is set forth on the plans, Buyer agrees that the actual construction shall prevail and to accept the Unit and Building as actually constructed (in lieu of what is set forth on the plans).

(e) Buyer understands and agrees that in designing the Condominium, the stairwells within the Condominium Property are intended primarily for ingress and egress in the event of emergency and, as such may be constructed and left unfinished solely as to be functional for said purpose, without regard to the aesthetic appearance of said stairwells. Similarly, the garage and utility pipes serving the Condominium are intended primarily for functional purposes, and as such may be left unfinished without regard to the aesthetic appearance of same. Further, Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the potential for sound and/or odor transmission in a multi-story building is always a possibility, that noises and/or odors from nearby units and/or mechanical equipment can often be detected in other units. Without limiting the generality of Section 28, Seller does not make any representation or warranty as to the level of sound and/or odor transmission between and among Units, vibrations from HVAC and/or mechanical equipment and the other portions of the Condominium Property, and Buyer hereby waives and expressly releases any such warranty and claim for loss or damages resulting from vibration, sound and/or odor transmission. Lastly, Buyer understands and agrees that there are various methods for calculating the square footage and dimensions of a Unit and that depending on the method of calculation, the measured square footage of the Unit may be more or less than Buyer had anticipated. Typically, marketing materials will calculate the dimensions of the Unit from the exterior boundaries of the exterior walls to the centerline of interior demising walls, including common elements such as structural walls and other interior structural components of the building. Architectural or marketing size is larger than the size of the Unit determined strictly in accordance with the boundaries of the Unit set forth in the Declaration.  Additionally, references in marketing materials to ceiling heights are generally taken from the top of the unfinished floor slab to the underside of the upper unfinished concrete slab, which is greater than the actual clearance that will result between the top of the finished floor coverings and the underside of the finished ceiling as same may be affected by any drop ceilings or soffits, including without limitation to accommodate mechanical equipment. Any listed ceiling heights are approximate and subject to change. Accordingly, during the pre-closing inspection, Buyer should, among other things, review the size and dimensions of the Unit. Buyer shall be deemed to have conclusively agreed to accept the size and dimensions of the Unit, regardless of any variances in the square footage from that which may have been disclosed to Buyer at any time prior to closing, whether included as part of the Condominium Documents, Seller’s promotional materials or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Agreement, Seller does not make any representation or warranty as to the actual size, dimensions or square footage of the Unit, and Buyer hereby waives and expressly releases any such warranty.

(f) The agreements and waivers of Buyer contained in this Section 14 will survive (continue to be effective after) the closing.  

15. Certain Items and Materials .

(a) Buyer understands and agrees that certain items, if included with the Unit, such as tile, marble, stone, granite, cabinets, wood, stain, grout, wall and ceiling textures, mica, carpeting, light fixtures, wall coverings, floor coverings and other improvements, are subject to size and color variations, grain and quality variations, and may vary in accordance with price, availability and changes by manufacturer from those shown in the models or in illustrations or included in Seller's Plans and Specifications or in the published list of standard items (if any). If circumstances arise which, in Seller’s opinion, warrant changes of suppliers, manufacturers, brand names, Standard Finishes (if applicable), models or items, design professionals, including, without limitation, any interior designer or architect, or if Seller elects to omit certain items, Seller may modify the interior design concepts and the list of


standard features and/or Standard Finishes (if applicable) or make substitutions for equipment, material, appliances, brands, models, etc., with items which in Seller’s opinion are of equal or better quality (regardless of cost). Buyer also understands and agrees that Seller has the right to substitute or change materials and/or stain colors utilized in wood decor (if any). Buyer recognizes that certain colors as shown in displays or in the models, including, but not limited to, stone, marble, granite, cabinetry, carpeting and wood stain, will weather and fade and may not be duplicated precisely.

(b) If Seller allows Buyer to select certain colors and/or materials in the Unit (which Seller is not obligated to do), Buyer understands and agrees that Buyer must submit Buyer's selections to Seller in writing within fourteen days after the date the list of selections (if any) is made available to Buyer. If these selections (if any) are not delivered to Seller in writing within the time period stated above, then it is agreed and understood that the choices will be made by Seller in Seller's sole discretion.

(c) The agreements and waivers of Buyer contained in this Section 15 will survive (continue to be effective after) closing.

16. Litigation .

(a) In the event of any litigation between the parties under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’, paralegals’ and para-professionals’ fees and court costs at all trial and appellate levels. In addition, in the event of any litigation between the parties related to this Purchase Agreement (i) the parties shall and hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of Florida and (ii) venue shall be laid exclusively in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

(b) SELLER AND BUYER AGREE THAT NEITHER SELLER, BUYER, NOR ANY ASSIGNEE, SUCCESSOR, HEIR, OR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE OF SELLER OR BUYER (ALL OF WHOM ARE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS THE “PARTIES”) SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDINGS, COUNTERCLAIM, OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONDOMINIUM DOCUMENTS, ANY RULES OR REGULATIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION, OR ANY INSTRUMENT EVIDENCING OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH, OR ANY ACTIONS, DEALINGS OR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES, OR ANY OF THEM. NONE OF THE PARTIES WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION, IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED, WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN FULLY NEGOTIATED BY THE PARTIES AND THESE PROVISIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NO EXCEPTIONS. SELLER HAS NOT IN ANY WAY INDICATED THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

(c) Inasmuch as Buyer’s decision to purchase a Unit is personal and the circumstances regarding the offering of the Unit may unique to Buyer, Buyer agrees that BUYER SHALL NOT JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS WITH OTHER PURCHASERS OF UNITS OR LITIGATE IN COURT OR THROUGH OTHER FORMS OF PROCEEDINGS ANY CLAIMS AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY.

(d) This Section will survive (continue to be effective after) any termination of this Agreement, but shall otherwise be deemed merged into the deed at closing.


17. Maintenance Fee .  Buyer understands and agrees that the Estimated Operating Budget for the Association (the “Budget”) contained in the Condominium Documents provides only an estimate of what it will cost to run the Association during the period of time stated in the Budget. The Budget is not guaranteed to accurately predict actual expenditures. Actual expenditures may vary based upon a number of factors, many of which are out of Seller’s control. These factors include, without limitation, changes in costs, wages, environmental considerations and the effects of natural disasters. In making a decision to acquire the Unit, Buyer should factor in these potential increases in the Budget that may occur prior to closing, and after (and the resultant increases in the assessment amounts). Seller, as the sole Unit Owner upon the formation of the Condominium, may vote not to  provide any reserves for the initial year of the Association following recording the Substantial Completion Certificate. Thereafter, on an annual basis, a majority of the Association’s members (which may include the Seller/Developer during the first and second years) may vote to continue not to provide any reserves. If an election is in fact made to waive reserves, the assessments per Unit payable to the Association will be as set forth in the Estimated Operating Budget as “Assessments per Unit-Without Reserves”. If no such election is made, the assessments per Unit payable to the Association will be as set forth in the Estimated Operating Budget as “Assessments per Unit - With Reserves”.   The provisions of this Section 17 will survive (continue to be effective after) closing.

18. Condominium Association . This Agreement is also Buyer’s application for membership in the Association, which membership shall automatically take effect at closing. At that time, Buyer agrees to accept all of the liabilities and obligations of membership.

19. Seller’s Use of the Condominium Property . As long as Seller owns a unit or units and is offering same for sale in the ordinary course of business, it and its agents are hereby given full right and authority to place and maintain on, in and about the Condominium Property and/or Association Property (excluding the Unit after closing) model units, sales and leasing offices, administrative offices, signs and lighting related to construction and sales promotion purposes, for such period of time, at such locations and in such forms as shall be determined by Seller in its sole and absolute discretion. Seller, its employees, agents, contractors, sub-contractors and prospective buyers are also hereby given, for construction and sales promotion purposes, the right of entry upon, ingress to, egress from and other use of the Condominium and/or Association Property (excluding the Unit after closing), and the right to restrict and regulate access to the Common Elements and/or Association Property, subject to Buyer’s reasonable access to and from the Unit after closing, for the purposes of completing construction of the Common Elements, Association Property and/or other units within the Condominium. Seller’s salespeople can show units, the Association Property and/or the Common Elements, erect advertising signs and do whatever else is necessary in Seller’s opinion to help sell, resell, finance or lease units or other portions of any improvements to be constructed upon the Condominium Property or develop and manage the Condominium Property and/or Association Property and/or to provide management and administration and/or financial services, but Seller’s use of the Condominium Property and/or Association Property must be reasonable, and cannot unreasonably interfere with Buyer’s use and enjoyment of the Unit. This Section will survive (continue to be effective after) closing.

20. Sales Commissions . Seller will pay all sales commissions due its in-house sales personnel and/or exclusive listing agent and the co-broker, if any, identified on the last page of this Agreement (if such space is left blank, it shall mean that Seller has not agreed to pay any co-broker and that Buyer represents that there is no co-broker who can claim by, through or under Buyer), provided that such co-broker has properly registered with Seller as a participating co-broker. Seller has no responsibility to pay any sales commissions to any other broker or sales agent with whom Buyer has dealt. Buyer will be solely responsible to pay any such other brokers. By signing this Agreement, Buyer is representing and warranting to Seller that Buyer has not consulted or dealt with any broker, salesperson, agent or finder other than Seller’s sales personnel (and the co-broker, if any, named on the last page of this Agreement),


nor has the sale been procured by any real estate broker, salesperson, agent or finder other than Seller’s sales personnel (and the co-broker, if any, named on the last page of this Agreement). Buyer will defend (with counsel acceptable to Seller), indemnify and hold Seller harmless for and from any such person or company claiming otherwise. Buyer’s indemnity and agreement to hold Seller harmless includes, without limitation, Buyer’s obligation to pay or reimburse Seller for all commissions, damages and other sums for which Seller may be held liable and all attorneys’ fees and court costs actually incurred by Seller (including those for appeals), regardless of whether a lawsuit(s) is actually brought or whether Seller ultimately wins or loses. This Section 20 will survive (continue to be effective after) closing and any termination of this Agreement.

21. Notices .

(a) Whenever Buyer is required or desires to give notice to Seller, the notice must be in writing and it must be sent by: (i) certified mail, postage prepaid, with a return receipt requested (ii) hand delivery or (iii) a recognized overnight courier service (i.e., Fed Ex, United Parcel Service, etc.), to Seller at 315 S. Biscayne Boulevard, 4th Floor, Miami, Florida 33131, Attn: Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences Project Manager, or to such other address as Seller may otherwise direct.

(b) Unless this Agreement states other methods of giving notices, whenever Seller is required or desires to give notice to Buyer, the notice must be given either in person, by telephone ( to the telephone number indiated on page 1 of this Agreement)  or in writing and, if in writing, it must be sent either by: (i) certified mail, postage prepaid, with a return receipt requested (unless sent outside of the United States, in which event written notices to Buyer may be sent by regular air mail); (ii) facsimile transmission if Buyer has indicated a telecopy number on Page 1 of this Agreement; (iii) electronic transmission, if Buyer has indicated an email address on Page 1 of this Agreement; or (iv) hand delivery or by recognized overnight courier service (i.e., Fed Ex, Express Mail, United Parcel Service, etc.), to the address for Buyer set forth on Page 1 of this Agreement. By giving the telephone number, telecopy number and/or email address on Page 1 of this Agreement, Buyer hereby consents to receiving telephonic, facsimile and/or email communications, including advertisements, as applicable, made or given by Seller hereunder.

(c) A change of address notice is effective when it is received. As to other notices, notices delivered by certified mail, shall be deemed received by Buyer on the date that the postal service first attempts delivery of the notice at the Buyer’s address (regardless of whether delivery is accepted). Notices delivered by facsimile transmission shall be deemed received on the date that Seller gets confirmation (from the sending machine) that the facsimile was transmitted to the receiving facsimile number. Notices delivered by electronic transmission (e-mail) shall be deemed received by Buyer on the date sent by Seller. Notices delivered by hand delivery or overnight courier service shall be deemed received on the date that the delivery service or overnight courier service first attempts delivery of the notice at the Buyer’s address (regardless of whether delivery is accepted). All permitted non-written notices to Buyer are deemed received on the date given by Seller. Further, Buyer expressly understands and agrees that all notices from Seller are and will be in English and to the extent that any person prepares a translation thereof, the English original version nevertheless is controlling.

22. Transfer or Assignment . Buyer shall not be entitled to assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be withheld by Seller with or without cause (and even if Seller’s refusal to grant consent is unreasonable). To the extent that Seller consents to any such assignment, said consent may be conditioned in any manner whatsoever, including, without limitation, charging an assignment or transfer fee and requiring full disclosure of any beneficial owners or any proposed assignee that is an entity. Any such assignee that is consented to by Seller must fully assume all of the obligations of Buyer hereunder by written agreement for Seller’s benefit, a counterpart


original executed copy of which shall be delivered to Seller. If Buyer is a corporation, partnership, other business entity, trustee or nominee, a direct or indirect transfer of a majority interest in any stock, voting interest, partnership interest, membership interest, equity, beneficial or principal interest in Buyer will constitute an assignment of this Agreement requiring prior written consent by Seller. No assignment or transfer in violation of the restrictions set forth herein shall be valid or binding on Seller.Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall not, prior to closing on title to the Unit, unless first obtaining the prior written consent of Seller (which may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion) (i) advertise, market and/or list the Unit for lease, sale or resale, whether by placing an advertisement, listing the Unit with a broker, posting signs at the Unit or at the Condominium, allowing the Unit to be listed for sale on the internet or the Multiple Listing Service, hiring a broker, directly or indirectly, to solicit interest in a resale or otherwise, or (ii) enter into any contract or agreement, written or otherwise, for the sale or lease of the Unit with a third party. Notwithstanding any permitted assignment or transfer of any interest in this Agreement and/or the Unit, nothing shall relieve or release Buyer from any obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.

23. Others Bound by this Agreement . If Buyer dies or in any way loses legal control of Buyer’s affairs, this Agreement will bind Buyer’s heirs and personal representatives. If Buyer has received permission to assign or transfer Buyer’s interest in this Agreement, this Agreement will bind anyone receiving such interest. If Buyer is a corporation or other business entity, this Agreement will bind any successor corporation or entity resulting from merger, reorganization or operation of law. If more than one person signs this Agreement as Buyer, each will be equally liable, on a joint and several basis, for full performance of all Buyer’s duties and obligations under this Agreement and Seller can enforce this Agreement against either as individuals or together.

24. Public Records . Buyer authorizes Seller to record the documents needed to establish and operate the Condominium, as well as all other documents which Seller deems necessary or appropriate, in the Public Records of Broward County, Florida. Neither this Agreement, nor any notice or memorandum hereof (nor any Lis Pendens), may be recorded by Buyer. Buyer further agrees not to seek to impose any type of lien or other claim upon the Unit or all or any portion of the Condominium, equitable or otherwise, and any right to impose or seek any such lien or other claim is hereby knowingly, fully and unconditionally waived by Buyer.

25. Florida Law; Severability .

(a) Any disputes that develop under this Agreement and any issues that arise regarding the entering into, validity and/or execution of this Agreement will be settled according to Florida law. If any part of this Agreement violates a provision of applicable law, the applicable law will control. In such case, however, the rest of this Agreement (not in violation) will remain in force.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is Buyer’s and Seller’s mutual desire and intention that all provisions of this Agreement be given full effect and be enforceable strictly in accordance with their terms. If, however, any part of this Agreement is not enforceable in accordance with its terms or would render other parts of this Agreement or this Agreement, in its entirety, unenforceable, the unenforceable part or parts are to be judicially modified, if at all possible, to come as close as possible to the expressed intent of such part or parts (and still be enforceable without jeopardy to other parts of this Agreement, or this Agreement in its entirety), and then are to be enforced as so modified. If the unenforceable part or parts cannot be so modified, such part or parts will be unenforceable and considered null and void in order that the mutual paramount goal (that this Agreement is to be enforced to the maximum extent possible strictly in accordance with its terms) can be achieved.


(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the mere inclusion in this Agreement of language granting to Seller certain rights and powers, or waiving or limiting any of Buyer’s rights or powers or Seller’s obligations (which otherwise would be applicable in the absence of such language), results in a final conclusion (after giving effect to the above judicial modification, if possible) that Buyer has the right to cancel this Agreement and receive a refund of Buyer’s deposits, such offending rights, powers, limitations and/or waivers shall be struck, canceled, rendered unenforceable, ineffective and null and void. Under no circumstances shall either Buyer or Seller have the right to cancel this Agreement solely by reason of the inclusion of certain language in this Agreement (other than language which is intended specifically to create such a cancellation right).

(d) The provisions of this Section 25 will sirvivie ( continue to be effective) after closing.

26. Changes .

(a) Seller may make changes in the Condominium Documents in its sole discretion by providing Buyer with all such amendments that are made.  Buyer will not be permitted to prevent Seller from making any change it wishes in its sole discretion.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and other provisions of this Agreement, Seller is specifically authorized to: (i) substitute the final legal descriptions and as-built surveys for the proposed legal descriptions and plot plans contained in the Condominium Documents even though changes occur in the permitting stage and during construction, and/or (ii) combine and/or subdivide units prior to or after the recordation of the Declaration (and incorporate divider wall Common Elements in any such combination units or add Common Element divider walls in any such subdivision), provided that the percentage share of ownership of common elements of any unit not affected in the combination or subdivision is not affected. and/or (iii) update the Condominium Documents to reflect any changes in the Florida Condominium Act adopted by the Legislature (and/or changes to the Administrative Rules adopted by the Division) after the date of this Agreement. Buyer understands and agrees that Seller has no control over changes to the Act and/or Administrative Rules and as such, that Seller shall have no liability with respect to its incorporation of these changes.

(c) The provisions of this Section 26 will survive (continue to be effective after) closing.

27. Nearby Activities and Views .

(a) Buyer understands and agrees that for some time in the future Buyer may be disturbed by the noise, commotion and other unpleasant effects of the nearby activities and that Buyer may be impeded in using portions of the Condominium Property, any one or more of those activities.  Demolition or construction of buildings and other structures within the immediate area or within the view lines of any particular Unit or of any part of the Condominium (the “Views”) may block, obstruct, shadow or otherwise affect Views, which may currently be visible from the Unit or from the Condominium.

(b) As a result of the foregoing, there is no guarantee of view, security, privacy, location, design, density or any other matter, except as is set forth herein or in the Condominium Documents. Buyer hereby agrees to release Seller, its partners and/or members and its and their officers, members, directors and employees and every affiliate and person related or affiliated in any way with any of them (collectively, “Seller’s Affiliates”) from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, damages, costs and expenses of whatever nature or kind, including attorneys’ fees and costs, including


those incurred through all arbitration and appellate proceedings, related to or arising out of any claim against the Seller or Seller’s Affiliates related to Views or the disruption, noise, commotion, and other unpleasant effects of nearby development or construction, or from any other inconveniences, disturbances, obligations and/or liabilities resulting therefrom.

(c) Additionally, inasmuch as the Commercial Units and the resort-type operations may attract customers, patrons and/or guests who are not members of the Condominium Association, such additional traffic over and upon the Condominium Property and other incidental effects of such operation shall not be deemed by the Buyer to be a nuisance hereunder. [Is this necessary the way it is drafted?]

(d) The provisions of this Section 27 shall survive (continue to be effective after) closing.

28. Disclaimer of Implied Warranties .

(a) All manufacturers’ warranties will be passed through to Buyer at closing.

(b) At closing, Buyer will receive the statutory warranties imposed by the Florida Condominium Act (to the extent applicable and not yet expired). To the maximum extent lawful, all implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability and habitability, all warranties imposed by statute (except only those imposed by the Florida Condominium Act to the extent they cannot be disclaimed and to the extent they have not expired by their terms) and all other implied or express warranties of any kind or character, including, without limitation, any imposed by statute, ordinance or common law, are specifically disclaimed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby disclaims any and all express or implied warranties as to design, construction, View, wind, sound and/or odor transmission, furnishing and equipping of the Condominium Property and the other improvements serving or in proximity to the Condominium, the existence of molds, mildew, spores, fungi and/or other toxins within the Condominium Property and the other improvements serving or in proximity to the Condominium, except only those set forth in Section 718.203 of the Act, to the extent applicable and to the extent that same have not expired by their terms. Seller has not given and Buyer has not relied on or bargained for any such warranties.

(c) As to any implied warranty which cannot be disclaimed entirely, all secondary, incidental and consequential damages are specifically excluded and disclaimed (claims for such secondary, incidental and/or consequential damages being clearly unavailable in the case of implied warranties which are disclaimed entirely above). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller does not guarantee, warrant or otherwise assure, and expressly disclaims, any right to Views and/or Views and/or natural light.

(d) Additionally, properties in South Florida are subject to tropical conditions, which may include sudden, heavy rain storms, high blustery winds, hurricanes and/or flooding. These conditions may be extreme, creating sometimes unpleasant or uncomfortable conditions or even unsafe conditions, and can be expected to be more extreme at properties like the Condominium. At certain times, the conditions may be such where use and enjoyment of outdoor amenities such as the pool or pool deck and/or other areas may be unsafe and/or not comfortable or recommended near the water for use and/or occupancy. These conditions are to be expected at properties near the water for use and/or occupancy. Buyer understands and agrees to accept these risks and conditions and to assume all liabilities associated with same. By executing and delivering this Agreement and closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have released and indemnified Seller, Seller’s Affiliates and Seller’s third party consultants, including without limitation, Seller’s architect, contractors and engineers from and against any and all liability or claims


resulting from all matters disclosed or disclaimed in this Section, including, without limitation, any liability for incidental or consequential damages (which may result from, without limitation, inconvenience and/or personal injury and death to or suffered by Buyer or any of Buyer’s Guests as defined below and any other person or any pets). Buyer understands and agrees that neither Seller, Seller’s Affiliates, nor any of Seller’s third party consultants, including without limitation, Seller’s architect, contractors and engineers shall be responsible for any of the conditions described above, and Seller hereby disclaims any responsibility for same which may be experienced by Buyer, its pets, its family members and/or its or their guests, tenants and/or invitees (collectively “Buyer’s Guests”).

(e) Further, given the climate and humid conditions in South Florida, molds, mildew, spores, fungi and/or other toxins may exist and/or develop within the Unit and/or the Condominium Property. Buyer is hereby advised that certain molds, mildew, spores, fungi and/or other toxins may be, or if allowed to remain for a sufficient period may become, toxic and potentially pose a health risk. By executing and delivering this Agreement and closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have assumed the risks associated with molds, mildew, spores, fungi and/or other toxins and to have released and indemnified Seller, Seller’s Affiliates and Seller’s third party consultants, including without limitation, Seller’s architect, contractors and engineers from and against any and all liability or claims resulting from same, including, without limitation, any liability for incidental or consequential damages (which may result from, without limitation, the inability to occupy the Unit, inconvenience, moving costs, hotel costs, storage costs, loss of time, lost wages, lost opportunities and/or personal injury and death to or suffered by Buyer and/or any of Buyer’s Guests and any other person or any pets). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, leaks, leaving exterior doors or windows open, wet flooring and moisture will contribute to the growth of mold, mildew, fungus or spores. Buyer understands and agrees that neither Seller, Seller’s Affiliates, nor any of Seller’s third party consultants, including without limitation, Seller’s architect, contractors and engineers shall be responsible, and Seller hereby disclaims any responsibility for any illness or allergic reactions which may be experienced by Buyer, and/or Buyer’s Guests as a result of mold, mildew, fungus or spores. It is solely the Buyer’s responsibility to keep the Unit clean, dry, well-ventilated and free of contamination.

(f) This Section will survive (continue to be effective after) closing.

29. Survival . Only those provisions and disclaimers in this Agreement which specifically state that they shall have effect after closing will survive (continue to be effective after) closing and delivery of the deed. All other provisions shall be deemed merged into the deed.

30. Substantial Completion .  The Unit will not be considered complete for purposes of this Agreement unless the Unit (and such portion of the Building intended to be used exclusively by Buyer) is physically habitable and usable for the purpose for which the Unit was purchased (i.e., as the front desk of the Condo-Hotel). The Unit (and such portion of the Building intended to be used exclusively by Buyer) will be considered so useable if (i) the Unit is ready for occupancy and has all necessary and customary utilities required so that the same may operate as the front desk for the Condominium and (ii) access to the Unit from a readily accessible entrance to the Building is complete or substantially complete. The issuance of a temporary, partial or permanent certificate of completion (or its equivelent) for or covering the Unit from the proper governmental agency shall be deemed conclusive evidence that the Unit is considered substantially complete for purposes of this Agreement. Other units (and other portions of the Building, Common Elements and/or recreational facilities) may not necessarily be complete and/or useable. As to any roads, sewers, water, gas or electric service or recreational amenities represented by Seller or its agents to be provided or completed by Seller in connection with the Condominium, Seller agrees to provide or complete same within a reasonable period of time. Buyer and Seller agree that this is an agreement for the purchase and sale of an improved lot. Seller agrees that no closing shall occur until the certificate required by Section 718.104(4)(e), Florida Statutes is recorded.


31. Disclosures . Buyer is hereby advised as follows:

(a) RADON GAS: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county health department. The foregoing notice is provided in order to comply with state law and is for informational purposes only. Seller does not conduct radon testing with respect to the Units or the Condominium, and specifically disclaims any and all representations or warranties as to the absence of radon gas or radon producing conditions in connection with the Condominium.

(b) Buyer acknowledges, warrants, represents and agrees that this Agreement is being entered into by Buyer without reliance upon any representations concerning the applicable zoning affecting the Unit, the permitted uses of the Unit and/or any limitations imposed by the Condominium Documents and/or any applicable zoning, governmental or quasi-governmental codes, ordinances or regulations. Before entering into this Agreement, Buyer has made its own independent determination as to the permitted uses of the Unit and as to the suitability of the Unit for such uses.

(c) ANY CLAIMS FOR CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS ARE SUBJECT TO THE NOTICE AND CURE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 558, FLORIDA STATUTES.

(d) BUYER SHOULD NOT RELY ON THE SELLER’S CURRENT PROPERTY TAXES AS THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAXES THAT THE BUYER MAY BE OBLIGATED TO PAY IN THE YEAR SUBSEQUENT TO PURCHASE. A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP OR PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS TRIGGERS REASSESSMENTS OF THE PROPERTY THAT COULD RESULT IN HIGHER PROPERTY TAXES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING VALUATION, CONTACT THE COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER’S OFFICE FOR INFORMATION.

(e) When a condominium is newly created, the full value of the units in the condominium are typically not reflected in the real estate taxes until the calendar year commencing after construction has been completed. The County Property Appraiser is responsible for determining the assessed value of the Unit for real estate taxes, and Seller has no control over the assessed value established by governmental authorities. Seller is not responsible for communicating any information regarding real estate taxes (current or future) and cannot and will not predict what taxes on the Unit may be. Buyer will confirm any information provided concerning appraisals, tax valuation, tax rates, or other tax-related questions with Buyer’s personal tax advisor and the local taxing authorities.

(f) THE BUDGET CONTAINED IN THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR HAS BEEN PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDOMINIUM ACT AND IS A GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE ONLY AND REPRESENTS AN APPROXIMATION OF FUTURE EXPENSES BASED ON FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AT THE TIME OF ITS PREPARATION. ACTUAL COSTS OF SUCH ITEMS MAY EXCEED THE ESTIMATED COSTS. SUCH CHANGES IN COST DO NOT CONSTITUTE MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGES IN THE OFFERING.

(g) Buyer understands and agrees that a portion of the Building, which includes the lobby and other Common Elements may be located below the federal flood plain, and, accordingly, it is susceptible to damage from flooding. In the event of flooding, any furnishings, finishes, contents or personal property is susceptible to water damage. Additionally, insurance premiums for the Association in insuring the ground level and any furnishings, finishes, contents and/or personal properly therein may be higher than if the ground level was above the federal flood plain. Buyer assumes any responsibility for loss, damage or liability resulting therefrom.


(h)    Buyer further agrees, prior to closing, not to seek to impose any type of lien or other claim upon the Unit, equitable or otherwise, and any right to impose or seek any such lien or other claim is hereby knowingly, fully and unconditionally waived by Buyer.

(i) Pursuant to the Zoning Regulations, restrictions exist on the Resort Units As such, pursuant to the Zoning Regulations, among other things, a portion of the Condominium is structured to operate as a Condo-Hotel and otherwise in accordance with the Zoning Regulations. In that regard, no Resort Unit may be occupied by their owner(s) for more than a total of 150 days in any consecutive 12 month period, except the resident manager room, if any, and no permanent occupancy is permitted in the Resort Units. Additionally, the costs to maintain the Condominium in such a manner, and otherwise in accordance with the Zoning Regulations, shall be part of the Common Expenses or Residential Limited Common Expenses.

(j) Buyer expressly understands and agrees that Seller intends to use Buyer’s deposits (both up to [provided that Seller has placed Alternative Assurances approved by the Division], and in excess of 10% of the Purchase Price of the Unit) in order to fund a significant portion of construction and development of the Condominium, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof and applicable Florida law.

(k) In accordance with the Development Covenants, certain third parties who are not Members of the Association (the “Marina Third Parties”), have the right (but not the obligation), subject to obtaining applicable governmental approvals, to construct, operate, maintain and exclusively use a marina within and upon the Common Elements of the Condominium. To the extent that any marina is constructed, the maintenance, repair and replacement of same shall be the obligation of the Association, and the costs associated therewith shall be a Common Expense, however the Association may have the right to delegate such obligations and/or to seek reimbursement for same from, the Marina Third Parties. The use and operation of any marina shall be subject to the rules and regulations established by the Marina Third Parties, the provisions of the Development Covenants and rules and regulations otherwise established by the Association from time to time and there is no guarantee that same shall be made available to the Condominium. Seller is seeking to obtain approvals from the Marina Third Parties, to permit an Aqua Club (for the launching of paddle boards, jet skis and the like) to be operated from the marina, to the extent constructed, for the benefit of Unit Owners and their guests, tenants and invitees, however Seller makes no representation that such use rights will be obtained. Accordingly, Buyer, in making a decision to acquire a Unit, has not relied upon the availability of a marina and/or Aqua Club.

(f) Buyer represents and warrants to Seller and to Seller’s Affiliates, that neither Buyer (including any and all of its directors and officers and direct and indirect owners), nor any of its affiliates or the funding sources for either is a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person.

(a) _______   _______  Buyer understands and agrees that the Condominium Association intends (without creating any obligation) to enter into a Brand Agreement (initially with SBE Hotel Group, to allow the Condominium and resort operations therefrom to be referred to as “Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences”). The cost of any such Brand Agreement shall be part of the Common Expenses and/or Residential Limited Common Elements. The terms, parameters and conditions of the use of such licensing and/or branding privileges shall be governed by the Brand Agreement, under such terms and conditions as Seller and/or Association may agree, and that there is no assurance that the Brand Agreement will be perpetually afforded to Unit Owners. Accordingly, in making a decision to acquire a Unit, Buyer has not relied upon the perpetual availability of the use of the license and/or brand contemplated by any Brand Agreement. Additionally, Buyer further understands and agrees that if in fact the Condominium Association enters into a Brand Agreement and thereafter the Brand Agreement is terminated for any reason, all use of any licensed tradename, trademark or service marks shall cease and all indicia or connection between the Condominium and the licensed tradename, trademark or service marks, including signs or other materials bearing any of the licensed trademarks or servicemarks or tradenames shall be removed from the Condominium.

34. Intentionally Deleted.

35. Offer . The submission by Seller of this Agreement to Buyer for examination does not constitute an offer by Seller to Buyer, or a reservation of or option for any Unit in the Condominium. This Agreement shall not become binding until executed and delivered by both Buyer and Seller. Upon execution by Seller, an executed copy of this Agreement shall be sent to Buyer or Seller shall otherwise demonstrate its acceptance of Buyer’s offer, otherwise the offer shall be considered rejected.


36. Interpretation . Notwithstanding that this Agreement was prepared by one party hereto, it shall not be construed more strongly against or more favorably for either party; it being known that both parties have had equal bargaining power, have been represented (or have had the opportunity to be represented) by their own independent counsel and have equal business acumen such that any rule of construction that a document is to be construed against the drafting party shall not be applicable.

37. Designation of Registered Agent . Buyer hereby agrees that the person designated as Registered Agent on Page 1 of this Agreement is hereby unconditionally and irrevocably qualified to accept service of process on behalf of Buyer in the State of Florida, which such designation shall be irrevocable unless Buyer effectively appoints a substitute local agent and notifies Seller in writing of such substituted designation.

38. Miscellaneous . The explanations, definitions, disclaimers and other provisions set forth in the Condominium Documents are incorporated into this Agreement as if repeated at length herein. When the words “this Agreement” are used, they shall include in their meaning all modifications, riders and addenda to it signed by Buyer and Seller. Buyer acknowledges that the primary inducement for Buyer to purchase under this Agreement, is the Unit, itself, and not the recreational amenities and other Common Elements. Seller’s waiver of any of its rights or remedies (which can only occur if Seller waives any right or remedy in writing) will not waive any other of Seller’s rights or remedies or prevent Seller from later enforcing all of Seller’s rights and remedies under other circumstances. The performance of all obligations by Buyer on the precise times stated in this Agreement is of absolute importance and failure of Buyer to so perform on time is a default, time being of the essence as to all of Buyer’s obligations hereunder. Buyer understands and agrees that Buyer is not acquiring any rights or license in and/or to the name of the Condominium and/or the Condominium Association and that the name of the Condominium is not a material consideration in connection with Buyer’s purchase of the Unit. Additionally, the name of the Condominium and/or the Condominium Association may be changed by Seller, in its sole discretion. If Buyer tenders a check to Seller as all or a portion of the Purchase Price or Buyer’s deposits under the Agreement (which Seller has no obligation to accept), which check was drawn on the account of a party other than Buyer (a “Third Party Check”), Buyer represents and warrants to Seller, in order to induce Seller to accept the Third Party Check, that: (i) the party issuing the Third Party Check is not the subject of a bankruptcy case, receivership or insolvency proceeding, (ii) the Third Party Check is being given on behalf of Buyer as reasonably equivalent value for services performed and/or products delivered to such third party from Buyer and (iii) the party issuing the Third Party Check has no right, title or interest in and to the Unit and/or the Agreement and/or any portion of the Deposits. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained to the contrary in the Agreement, Buyer shall remain responsible for full payment of the Purchase Price at closing, including without limitation, the Deposits. Seller shall have the right to litigate ad valorem tax matters, impact charges, service fees and interim and/or special assessments concerning the Unit, the Common Elements or any other portion of the Condominium Property for prior years and/or the year of closing. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and said counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Signatures of the parties hereto on copies of this Agreement transmitted by facsimile machine or over the Internet shall be deemed originals for all purposes hereunder, and shall be binding upon the parties hereto. The counterparts of this Agreement and all ancillary documents executed or delivered in connection with this Agreement may be executed and signed by electronic signature by any of the parties to this Agreement, and delivered by electronic or digital communications to any other party to this Agreement, and the receiving party may rely on the receipt of such document so executed and delivered by electronic or digital communications signed by electronic signature as if the original has been received. For the purposes of this Agreement, electronic signature means, without limitation, an electronic act or acknowledgement (e.g., clicking an “I Accept” or similar button), sound, symbol (digitized signature


block), or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record. Executive Order 13224 restricts activities with entities, countries and persons (specifically designated nationals) set forth by the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”). In order to check the OFAC list, Buyer must provide Seller with a government-issued identification card (for example, a driver’s license, passport, or resident alien card). To the extent Buyer’s name (or to the extent Buyer is a corporation or other entity, any person or entity constituting a part of Buyer) matches a name or entity on any such OFAC list or publication, the transactions with Buyer contemplated under or in connection with this Agreement will be immediately suspended, and Buyer shall be reported as instructed by OFAC. Additionally, to the extent that Buyer is an entity and/or trust, Buyer shall provide the following to Seller, as applicable, within thirty (30) days following the execution of the Agreement (collectively, the “Entity Conditions”): (i) a copy of the entity’s formation documents and/or trust documents, (ii) a certificate of good standing from the State/Country of formation, incorporation and/or organization and/or trust certificate, (iii) proper corporate/entity resolutions regarding the signatory’s power and authority to complete the transaction, together with a designation of the individual specifically authorized to complete the transaction and execute all documents on behalf of Buyer, (iv) a sworn certificate or affidavit confirming the identity of all persons with authority to bind the entity, and the identity and address of all persons owning a 25% beneficial interest in the purchasing entity (with copies of picture identification of all such persons attached) and (v) an opinion from Buyer’s counsel addressed to Seller confirming that the Buyer is duly formed, in good standing, and that the signatory has the authority to enter into this Agreement and complete the purchase of the Unit without the necessity of any consents or joinders of any other party. Moreover, to the extent that Buyer has delegated signatory authority to an individual other than Buyer (by way of power of attorney or otherwise), Buyer shall deliver to Seller within thirty (30) days following the execution of this Agreement a copy of the document delegating such authority for Sellers review and approval (the “Delegation Conditions”). In the event that Buyer fails to meet the Entity Conditions and/or Delegation Conditions, as applicable, same shall constitute a default under this Agreement.    Seller reserves the right to establish prices for units in the Condominium. Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, increase or decrease the price or price per square foot for any unit, or any offered option, if any, at any time, or offer incentives for the sale of units. Seller makes no representations or warranties that the price for the Unit or options in the Unit will be increased or decreased for other buyers of identical or similar units or options. Seller also makes no representations or warranties that changes made or options, extras or upgrades chosen by Buyer will or will not increase or decrease the market value of the Unit, and Buyer understands and agrees that such upgrades and options, if any, may not increase the market value of the Unit. Buyer shall, upon request from Seller from time to time, provide Seller with Buyer’s valid picture identification. This paragraph shall survive closing.

39. Entire Agreement . This Agreement is the entire agreement for sale and purchase of the Unit and once it is signed, it can only be amended by a written instrument signed by both Buyer and Seller which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between Buyer and Seller, and Buyer hereby acknowledges that the displays, architectural models, brochures, artist renderings and other promotional materials contained in the sales office and/or the model suite are conceptual and are for promotional purposes only and may not be relied upon. Any current or prior agreements, representations, understandings or oral statements of sales representatives or others, if not expressed in this Agreement or the Condominium Documents, are void and have no effect. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer has not relied on them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be excused from any liability under, or compliance with, the provisions of Section 718.506, Florida Statutes.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and Ten and No/100 dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is agreed by and between the Parties as follows:

1. Recitals and Terms . The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, any defined terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Declaration, unless the context otherwise requires.

2. Engagement . The Association does hereby engage the Management Company as the manager of the Condominium and the Association, and the Management Company hereby accepts such engagement, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The Management Company, by the execution of this Agreement, assumes and undertakes to perform, carry out and administer all management, operational and maintenance responsibilities set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 hereof and otherwise in this Agreement, in accordance with the Condominium Documents (as hereafter defined), this Agreement and applicable laws. Such assumption of obligations is limited, however, to operation and management of the Association and maintenance of the Condominium, as agent and does not require the Management Company to pay any of the costs and expenses which are the obligation of the Association, except as specifically assumed by the Management Company in this Agreement.

3. Term . The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date that 4000 South Ocean Property Owner, LLP, a Florida limited liability limited partnership (the "Developer") obtains a temporary certificate of occupancy for the Condominium, or such earlier date as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties (the "Commencement Date"), and shall be for a period of twenty (20) years, with the services described herein commencing on the Commencement Date and terminating on the 20th anniversary date of the Commencement Date (the "Initial Term"). Following the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for four (4) consecutive periods of five (5) years each (each a "Renewal Term"). The Initial Term together with the Renewal Term shall be collectively referred to herein as the "Term". The

Schedule 2


 

Parties agree that the Association shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement during the Term or any Renewal Term except for: (i) an uncured Event of Default as set forth in Section 17 hereof, (ii) as otherwise authorized under Section 718.302, F.S, . or (iii) upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties.

The Parties acknowledge that all of the Management Company's personal and intellectual property related to its operation of the Association and the Condominium including, but not limited to, the Management Company's trade name, trademarks, service marks, and software programs and the trade names, trademarks, service marks, equipment, inventory, the License Agreement (hereinafter defined) and software programs of the Management Company's affiliates or subsidiaries (collectively, the "Materials") are, and always shall be, the personal property of the Management Company.

Immediately upon such termination, all interior and exterior signs and graphics bearing any of the Materials, shall be physically removed from the premises or otherwise covered or obliterated so as not to be visible to the public, all at the Association's sole cost and expense. After termination of this Agreement, under no circumstances shall the Association, or any person acting on behalf of the Association, directly or indirectly hold itself or the Condominium out to the public as being or remaining affiliated with the Management Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any turnover of management responsibility shall be conducted in a professional manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with ongoing management of the Condominium, including such matters as reservation systems and the like (giving respect and operation to the ownership of any proprietary software or hardware systems that may belong solely to the Management Company), and to this end the Management Company shall sign any and all consents, assurances and assignments or similar agreements reasonably necessary to permit the Board to continue or replace any nonproprietary reservation systems provided by third parties under lease, license or other agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within thirty (30) days of any termination of this Agreement, the Association shall pay to the Management Company any and all accrued management fees, costs and/or other reimbursements due under this Agreement without delay.

5. Management Company's Responsibilities . The Management Company shall be responsible for the efficient and satisfactory proper management and operation of the Association and maintenance of the Condominium in accordance with the Agreed Standard (as hereinafter defined) and otherwise as required by this Agreement, subject to the limitations of the Association's budget established from time to time pursuant to Section 6(d) below. The Association hereby acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and in consideration of the Management Fee described in Section 12 below, the Management Company shall perform itself, hire personnel to perform, or procure providers to perform all services necessary for the performance of the Management Company's obligations hereunder, and shall supervise the performance of all services provided to, or on behalf of, the Association pursuant to this Agreement. Such services shall include, but not be limited to, management information systems services provided by or through the Management Company, which shall be reimbursed to the Management Company in an amount provided in the Association's budget.

 

(a)

Employees . The Management Company shall, on behalf of the Association, hire, pay and supervise the necessary employees (which shall not be less than one (1) employee) to properly, efficiently, and prudently perform the duties and responsibilities of the Management Company set forth herein; and the Management Company shall hire, pay and supervise employees to provide for services not obtained by a separate provider pursuant to Section 5(b) below. Any persons actually hired by the Management Company shall be the employees of the Management Company, the expense of such employees being included as an expense in the Association's budget, such expense not to exceed the limits set forth in Schedule "1".

Schedule 2


 

The Management Company, subject to the approved budget, shall hire and supervise such employees as may be required from time to time to perform its duties pursuant to this Agreement in its sole discretion. All matters pertaining to the employment, interviewing and screening process, supervision, compensation, promotion and discharge of employees of the Management Company required to provide the services hereunder are the responsibility of the Management Company. The Management Company shall carry workers compensation insurance, and any other insurance, for such employees as required by law. The Association acknowledges that with respect to employees who are needed only on a part-time basis in connection with the management, operation and maintenance of the Association and the Condominium, if any, such employees may also be used by the Management Company, or a corporation or person controlled by, under common control or affiliated with the Management Company at other projects managed by the Management Company, or a corporation or person controlled by, under common control or affiliated with the Management Company (and such employees will be paid by the Management Company or such affiliate as to such other work); provided that the Association shall only be responsible for payment of expenses relating to such employees incurred from performing services on behalf of the Association and/or at the Condominium in accordance herewith.

 

(b)

Procurement of Separate Providers of Services . The Parties expressly agree that the Management Company may procure necessary services for the Condominium from third parties or may provide such services itself. The Management Company shall deal at arm's length with all third parties and shall serve the Association's interests at all times; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Management Company from procuring necessary services from an affiliate of the Management Company including, without limitation, Chesapeake Hospitality, or a procurement services company in which an affiliate of the Management Company has an ownership interest, on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Association than those that would be generally required by unaffiliated persons or entities for comparable services, if applicable, or for the sale or lease of comparable goods, provided that the Management Company provides prior written notice to the Board disclosing the affiliation and it is otherwise commercially reasonable to enter into the transaction and all discounts or incentives of any kind or nature received by the Management Company or its affiliate inure to the benefit of the Association pursuant to Section 7 below. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "affiliate" shall mean all partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies or other entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Management Company or one of its members including, without limitation, Chesapeake Hospitality. "Control" for these purposes shall mean the ability to influence, direct or otherwise significantly affect the major policies, activities or actions of any person or entity.

In procuring providers of specific services from any source pursuant to its authority hereunder, the Management Company shall enter into service agreements on behalf of the Association based upon the following factors:

 

(i)

the quality of work obtainable for the desired level of service, and

 

(ii)

a reasonable, practicable price for the service obtainable in the local market.

The Management Company shall use its reasonable judgment in good faith in evaluating these factors with respect to each proposed service; provided, however, if it is commercially reasonable in the given instance, nothing contained herein shall require the Management Company to obtain the lowest price available as to any service, material or purchase, or in instances where bids are obtained, to accept the lowest bid.

To the extent permitted by law, the Management Company shall have the authority to enter into (and cancel) any service agreements contemplated pursuant to this Section,

Schedule 2


 

in either the Association's or the Management Company's name, as determined by the Management Company in its reasonable discretion, subject to the requirements of the Board. Furthermore, subject to the constraints of the Association's budget, the Association hereby agrees to execute on its own behalf such service agreements as are deemed necessary or desirable by the Management Company from time to time to effectuate the obligations set forth in this Agreement. Subject to the constraints of the Association's budget, the costs of any agreements entered into by the Management Company pursuant to this Section shall be a "Common Expense" of the Association.

6. Power and Duties . To meet its obligations set forth herein, the Management Company shall have all the powers and duties of the Association as set forth in the Declaration, Bylaws for the Association, and the Rules and Regulations for the Condominium (collectively, the "Condominium Documents") (except such thereof as are specifically required to be exercised by the Board, the Association or Unit Owners or that are non-delegable under the Condominium Documents or applicable law).

The Account(s) will be styled so as to indicate the custodial nature thereof and the Management Company shall ensure that all such funds collected are kept separately, and not commingled with other funds collected by the Management Company as agents for other parties or otherwise. The Management Company shall not be liable for any loss resulting from the insolvency of any depository or the loss from any investment in connection with Association's funds.

Said estimated budget, together with an explanatory statement, shall be submitted to the Association for final draft at least thirty (30) days prior to the budget meeting. The estimated operating budget shall serve as a supporting document for the schedule of assessments. The annual budget may be revised from time to time during the year. Should a special assessment be required during the year, it shall be recommended and presented by the Board for adoption in compliance with the Condominium Documents and applicable law. Services to be performed pursuant to this subparagraph shall be performed annually or as needed.

The Parties acknowledge that the Association budget's Common Expenses are based upon, among other factors, estimated projected monthly and annual expenses and will fluctuate based upon the actual versus projected expenses. Accordingly, the Parties recognize and acknowledge that all references to the Association budget and the "limitations of the Association budget" throughout this Agreement imply that, from time to time, reasonable adjustments and fluctuations, especially in labor costs, insurance and other areas will occur and should be part of the budget process consideration.

Form of Pre-Opening Services Agreement

 

 

 


 

PRE-OPENING SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS PRE-OPENING SERVICES AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of the 1st day of June, 2017, by and between 4000 South Ocean Property Owner, LLLP, a Florida limited liability limited partnership ("Seller") and Sotherly Hotels, Inc. (NASDAQ: "SOHO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust ("Buyer").  Seller and Buyer may hereinafter each be referred to as a "Party" or collectively, the "Parties."

RECITALS

A. Seller is the developer of 4010 South Ocean Condominium Hollywood (the "Condominium"), a condominium to be located upon the real property having an address of 4000 South Ocean Drive, Hollywood, Florida 33019 (the "Condominium Property").  In connection with the development of the Condominium, Seller obtained a construction loan (the "Loan") from Guggenheim Corporate Funding, LLC ("Agent"), as Agent for Midland National Life Insurance Company, an Iowa insurance company, HB Lender, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Loco Condo LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and JMP HBH Lender, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (together with the lenders from to time a party to the Loan Agreement executed in connection with the Loan and their respective successors and assigns, collectively "Lender"), which Loan is secured in part by (i) a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing to be recorded in the Public Records of Broward County, Florida (the "Mortgage") and (ii) that certain Pledge and Security Agreement made by 4000 South Ocean, LLC and 4000 South Ocean GP, LLC in favor of Lender.

B. The Parties have entered into that certain Commercial Unit Purchase Agreement and Addendum to Commercial Unit Purchase Agreement (the ''Purchase Agreement") of even date herewith with respect to the purchase and sale of Unit CU-2 (the "Unit") in the Condominium.  All references to the Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Purchase Agreement as modified by the Parties from time to time.

C. The Purchase Agreement provides that the closing of the purchase and sale of the Unit will occur in escrow pursuant to the terms of that certain Escrow Agreement of even date herewith (the "Escrow Agreement") between Seller and Buyer and the escrow agents named thereunder.

D. Buyer is a hotel owner/operator with significant experience in hotel management, valet operations, and implementing rental programs for units.

E. The Condominium is subject to certain land use and zoning restrictions (the "zoning Requirements") that require the Condominium to be operated as a Condo-Hotel (as defined by applicable zoning regulations) and limit unit owners to only occupying their units for 150 days or less per year, making it convenient for such unit owners to subject their units to a rental program that will be created and operated by Buyer.

F. Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer will be responsible for, among other services, operating the valet parking facilities and some of the cabanas at the Condominium pursuant to a Lease agreement (the "Lease") with 4010 South Ocean Hollywood Association, Inc. ("Association"), managing the Association pursuant to a Management Agreement (the "Management Agreement") with the Association and running the rental program associated with the Condominium at significant cost and expense to Buyer.

G. Creation and implementation of the valet operations, management of the Association, hotel operations, and the rental program is an integral part of the Condominium.

H. As such, Seller agrees to pay Buyer the Pre-Opening Services Fee (as defined below) for the pre- opening services described in this Agreement in consideration for Buyer commencing operations early, prior to closing, in order to ensure that, among other things, the rental program, hotel operations, and

 


 

garage facilities including valet operations, are ready to be offered to purchasers of Seller upon (or shortly after) their respective closings.

I. The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement as more particularly set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00), the execution and delivery of the Agreement and other  good  and  valuable  consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein as if repeated at length.

2. Subject to the terms hereof, Seller hereby grants Buyer a non-exclusive license to occupy the Unit, the limited common elements appurtenant thereto, and the various common elements of the Condominium (the "Common Elements"), from and after the Pre-Occupancy Date (as hereafter defined), for the limited purpose of Buyer conducting certain pre-opening preparations including, without limitation: training of staff; pre-opening payroll; housekeeping and operational inventory (i.e., cleaning supplies, linens, kitchen and bathroom consumables); stocking of staff uniforms: valet operation set up; meeting room operation set up and the like; and creation and implementation of a rental program for all units (collectively, the "Pre-Opening Activities") commencing approximately 180 days prior to the Seller’s estimated receipt of the temporary certificate of occupancy for the Condominium (the "Pre-Occupancy Date") and continuing until expiration or termination of the term of this Agreement.  Additionally, from and after the time that Seller receives a TCO for the Condominium, the Pre-Opening Activities shall also include the touring of prospective vendors, Seller's purchasers, and other clients and prospective clients of Buyer and prospective rental program participants through the Unit and Common Elements and, from and after the Opening Date, operating the rental program and offering the Condo-Hotel services in compliance with the Zoning Requirements.  Seller agrees to pay Buyer a fee in the amount of $750,000 (the "Pre-Opening Services Fee") in consideration for Buyer’s performance of the Pre-Opening Activities.

3.

For avoidance of doubt, Seller's obligation to pay such amount (or any portion thereof} is expressly conditioned on the Buyer depositing the necessary funds to close the purchase of Unit CU-2 under the Escrow Agreement

4. The term of this license shall commence on the date the Purchase Agreement is fully executed and terminate upon the earlier of: (i) Buyer's closing upon title to the Unit and the breaking of any escrow in connection therewith; or (iii) any default by Buyer under (or performance of an act, or the failure to perform an act, which with the passage of time shall constitute a default under} the Purchase Agreement or any termination of the Purchase Agreement, or {ii) the termination of this Agreement (the "Term").

The occupancy rights herein granted to Buyer are personal, and may not be assigned or transferred, other than to affiliates of Buyer or other parties expressly permitted in writing by Seller in Seller's discretion.

5. Buyer expressly understands and agrees that other than for purposes of the Pre-Opening Activities, Buyer shall not be permitted to occupy the Unit (or any other portion of the Condominium), including without limitation, keep or store anything therein, during the Term for any other purpose unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller in Seller's discretion. Buyer further understands and agrees that the license granted herein is non­exclusive to Buyer, and that Seller and its contractors, subcontractors, employees, suppliers, and other personnel and/or workers shall have the unfettered right to access the Unit and any other portion of the Condominium at any time and all times as Seller shall desire during the Term.

6. Buyer hereby assumes all risks of any damage or loss to any of the Buyer's Personal Items and all risks of any injury to Buyer or any of Buyer's agents, employees, vendors, clients, guests, tenants or invitees (collectively, the "Buyer Parties") that may enter into the Unit and/or on to the Condominium Property unless the same is a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller and/or Seller's contractors, subcontractors, employees and/or agents. Buyer shall be responsible for insuring the Buyer's Personal Items and carrying appropriate general liability, personal property, employment practices liability, crime insurance and workers' compensation insurance in the same amounts and upon the same terms as Buyer's affiliate is {or will be) required to carry under the Lease with Association, and Seller shall have no responsibility for insuring same or for any casualty or theft of any kind with respect to the Buyer's Personal Items and/or the Buyer Parties. A copy of such insurance policies shall be provided to Seller prior to the Pre-Occupancy Date, and shall name the Seller, the Seller's construction lender and (after it has been formed) the Association as additional insureds.

7.

Buyer shall not record, permit, or cause any lien or other encumbrance to be recorded against the Unit. Buyer agrees to conduct his/her/their occupancy of the Unit and other portions of the Condominium in such a manner as to maintain such areas in the same good order and repair as originally constructed by Seller, including improvements made by Seller subsequent to Buyer taking occupancy.

Funds Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to Buyer, Seller, or any other entity for interest on the Escrow Deposit.

3. Funds Escrow Agent shall, and is hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorized and directed to, release the Escrow Deposit or the applicable portion thereof from escrow as follows:

3.1 Upon (i) proof that a TCO has been received for the Condominium and (ii) confirmation from Funds Escrow Agent that Buyer has deposited with Funds Escrow Agent all funds necessary to complete the purchase of Unit CU-2 in accordance with the settlement statement (i.e. the purchase price of $5,100,000 adjusted as shown on the settlement statement), Funds Escrow Agent shall disburse the Pre-Opening Services Payment in the amount of $750,000 from the Escrow Deposit to Buyer or Buyer's designated affiliate, representing the Pre-Opening Services Payment due under the Pre-Opening Services Agreement, after which Funds Escrow Agent shall immediately provide written confirmation to Agent, Closing Documents Escrow Agent, Buyer and Seller confirming the date, amount and recipient of the released funds.

3.2 Upon (i) proof that a TCO has been received for the Condominium and (ii) confirmation from Funds Escrow Agent that Buyer has deposited with Funds Escrow Agent all funds necessary to complete the purchase of Unit CU-2 in accordance with the settlement statement (i.e. the purchase price of $5,100,000 adjusted as shown on the settlement statement), Funds Escrow Agent shall disburse $1,200,000 of the Escrow Deposit to Hollywood Hotel Associates LLC, formerly known as MHI/CARLYLE SIAN OWNER I, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (" HHA "), using wire instructions provided by HHA, representing the accrued construction disruption payments that will be owed by Seller to HHA pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii) of the Agreement Regarding Development, as amended by Amendment to Agreement Regarding Developer of even date herewith (" Construction Disruption Payments ") , which payments Buyer agrees will be made to HHA on Seller's behalf using Buyer's Escrow Deposit funds, irrespective of whether the escrow ultimately breaks and title to the Unit is conveyed to Buyer or whether the escrow is unwound per Sections 6 and 7 hereof and the Purchase Agreement terminated. Funds Escrow Agent shall provide written confirmation to Agent, Closing Documents Escrow Agent, Buyer and Seller confirming the date, amount and recipient of the released Construction Disruption Payments immediately upon making the disbursement.

3.3 Funds Escrow Agent shall disburse the remaining portion of the Escrow Deposit to Closing Documents Escrow Agent upon Funds Escrow Agent's receipt of written confirmation from Agent that the Loan has been fully satisfied by Seller with all amounts owing thereunder being paid in full.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if Agent commences a foreclosure action or exercises any of the other default remedies under the Loan as referenced in Section 6 of this Agreement, then the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement shall govern with respect to Funds Escrow Agent's release of the Escrow Deposit (or remaining portion of the Escrow Deposit, if a portion has previously been disbursed hereunder).

 


 

4. Closing Documents Escrow Agent shall, and is hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorized and directed to, release from escrow and record, as applicable, the Closing Documents upon receipt from Funds Escrow Agent of the Escrow Deposit (or remaining portion of the Escrow Deposit, if a portion has previously been disbursed hereunder), in cleared funds, and a copy of the written confirmation from Agent that the Loan has been fully satisfied by Seller with all amounts owing thereunder being paid in full. Closing Documents Escrow Agent shall then disburse the Escrow Deposit in accordance with the executed settlement statement included in the Closing Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if Agent commences a foreclosure action or exercises any of the other default remedies under the Loan as referenced in Section 6 of this Agreement, then the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement shall govern with respect to Closing Documents Escrow Agent's release and recording of the Closing Documents and disbursement of the Escrow Deposit (or remaining portion of the Escrow Deposit, if a portion has previously been disbursed hereunder).

5. Buyer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any requirement that Buyer close on the Unit before any other Unit in the Condominium closes. All prorations shall be calculated as of the Escrow Date.

6. In the event: (i) Lender commences a foreclosure action on the Mortgage (as evidenced by the filing of a foreclosure complaint in a legal action) or on the Pledge, (ii) Lender accepts a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgage or an assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Pledge or (iii) Lender, its nominee or designee or any other individual or entity acquires title to, or assumes or obtains possession or control of, the collateral set forth in the Mortgage or the Pledge at, during or by a foreclosure (Lender or such other individual or entity acquiring title, possession or control of the collateral, together with their respective successors or assigns, shall be referred to in this Agreement as " Subsequent Owner "), then Subsequent Owner will have the right pursuant to that certain Letter Agreement between Agent and Buyer of even date herewith, in its sole and absolute discretion, exercisable during the sixty (60) day period following Subsequent Owner's acquisition of title, possession or control of the collateral (the " Election Period "), to either terminate the Purchase Agreement and unwind the escrow closing of the Unit occurring hereunder or assume the obligations of Seller under the Purchase Agreement and convey the Unit to Buyer. If Subsequent Owner elects to terminate the Purchase Agreement, it is required by the Letter Agreement to deliver a termination notice (the “ Termination Notice ”) to Buyer, with a copy to Funds Escrow Agent and Closing Documents Escrow Agent, by no later than the expiration the Election Period. Upon receipt by Funds Escrow Agent of a copy of the Termination Notice, Funds Escrow Agent shall, and is hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorized and directed to, release the remaining portion of the Escrow Deposit to Buyer but only after disbursing the $1,200,000 Construction Disruption Payments to HHA (in accordance with wire instruction provided by HHA) if not previously disbursed to HHA. Buyer specifically acknowledges and agrees that the amount it will receive back in the event the escrow closing is unwound will be less than the original Escrow Deposit because Buyer has irrevocably agreed that $1,200,000 of the Escrow Deposit will be paid to HHA, and because Funds Escrow Agent may have already disbursed the Pre­ Opening Services Payment to Buyer or its affiliates in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that if the Purchase Agreement is terminated as provided in this Section 6 and certain disbursement(s) have been made in accordance with Section 3.1 or 3.2 or this Section 6, that Buyer shall not be entitled to seek any additional sums or compensation from any party hereto or Subsequent Owner and that Buyer's receipt of the remaining Escrow Deposit shall be in full satisfaction of the termination of the Purchase Agreement. Funds Escrow Agent shall deliver written notification to Buyer, Subsequent Owner and Closing Documents Escrow Agent immediately upon its release of the remaining Escrow Deposit to Buyer. Upon the release of the remaining Escrow Deposit to Buyer, the Purchase Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect with Buyer and Seller and Subsequent Owner having no further obligations to each other under the Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt of written notification from Funds Escrow Agent that it has released the remaining Escrow Deposit to Buyer as required herein, Closing Documents Escrow Agent shall promptly destroy all of the Closing Documents and send written confirmation to all parties to this Agreement and Subsequent Owner that they have been destroyed.

7. If Subsequent Owner elects not to terminate the Purchase Agreement, it is required by the Letter Agreement to deliver notice to Buyer that it is not terminating (the " Non-Termination Notice "), with a copy to Funds Escrow Agent and Closing Documents Escrow Agent, by no later than the expiration the Election Period. Funds Escrow Agent shall, and is hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorized and

 


 

directed to, release the all of the remaining Escrow Deposit from escrow and deliver it to Closing Documents Escrow Agent upon Funds Escrow Agent's receipt of a copy of the Non-Termination Notice. Closing Documents Escrow Agent shall, and is hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorized and directed to, release from escrow and record, as applicable, the Closing Documents (unless Buyer and Subsequent Owner direct Closing Documents Escrow Agent to the contrary in writing) upon receipt from Funds Escrow Agent of all the remaining Escrow Deposit and a copy of the Non­ Termination Notice.

8. Buyer and Seller agree and acknowledge that Buyer shall enjoy immediate and exclusive possession of the Unit as of the Escrow Date; provided that Buyer shall not record, permit, or cause any lien or other encumbrance to be recorded against the Unit. Additionally, Buyer agrees that provided that Closing Documents Escrow Agent has not received a Termination Notice and until such time as the Closing Documents Escrow Agent has received, in cleared funds, the remaining portion of the Escrow Deposit and has released and, as applicable, recorded, the Closing Documents in accordance with this Agreement, Buyer does not have any ownership or landlord interest in the Unit or the Condominium Property. Buyer hereby represents, covenants and warrants that Buyer shall at all times maintain commercially reasonable liability insurance and other coverage insuring any and all liability arising in connection with Buyer's use of the Unit and its appurtenances and any services being performed by Buyer or its affiliates in connection therewith on or from the Unit or any other portion of the Condominium property.

Buyer hereby assumes all risks of any damage or loss to any of the Buyer's Personal Items and all risks of any injury to Buyer or any of Buyer's agents, employees, vendors, clients, guests, tenants or invitees (collectively, the " Buyer Parties ") that may enter into the Unit and/or on to the Condominium property unless the same is a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller and/or Seller's contractors, subcontractors, employees and/or agents. Buyer shall be responsible for insuring the Buyer's Personal Items and carrying appropriate general liability, personal property, employment practices liability, crime insurance and workers' compensation insurance in the same amounts and upon the same terms as Buyer's affiliate is required to carry under the Lease Agreement between Buyer's affiliate and the Condominium Association, and Seller shall have no responsibility for insuring same or for any casualty or theft of any kind with respect to the Buyer's Personal Items and/or the Buyer Parties. A copy of such insurance policies shall be provided to Seller prior to the Escrow Date, and shall name the Seller and the Condominium Association as additional insureds thereunder.

During the pendency of the Escrow arrangement Buyer shall, at its cost and expense, keep and maintain the Unit and other portions of the Condominium Property being occupied in good repair throughout the Term. Buyer understands and agrees the Buyer shall not be permitted to make any improvements, changes and/or alterations to the Unit or other portions of the Condominium prior to conveyance of title to the Unit to Buyer (notwithstanding the limited occupancy pursuant hereto).

Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller at all times (at Seller's sole cost) with regard to any matters pertaining to the Seller's obtaining a temporary and/or permanent certificate of occupancy for the Unit and/or the Condominium.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Purchase Agreement, Buyer agrees that Seller shall not be responsible for any damage to the Unit and/or any limited common element appurtenant thereto caused as a result of the Buyer's use of the Unit while the Escrow arrangement remains in place, and Seller shall not be responsible for any repairs to the Unit and/or its limited common elements.
