On December 31, 2015, affiliates of Sotherly Hotels Inc.

Immediately prior to such amendments, the mortgage loan had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $6.8 million.
Pursuant to the amended loan documents, the Mortgage Loan:
·

·
amortizes on a 25-year schedule;
·
with certain exceptions, is subject to prepayment premiums of (i) during the first, second, fifth and sixth loan years, 0.50%, (ii) during the third loan year, 3.00%, and (iii) during the fourth loan year, 2.00%;
·
continues to have a maturity date of August 5, 2021; and
·
continues to be guaranteed by Sotherly Hotels LP.
The additional Mortgage Loan proceeds will be used to reimburse the Company for previously incurred expenditures in connection with a product improvement plan on the Hotel, for future expenditures in connection with the product improvement plan, to pay closing costs, and for general corporate purposes.
