On December 16, 2020, the Partnership and InterGroup executed a loan modification agreement that increased the borrowing capacity, as needed, to a maximum of $10,000,000.

In March 2024, another amendment raised the available borrowing limit to $30,000,000, subject again to a 0.5% modification fee on the $10,000,000 increase.
In March 2025, another amendment was executed, increasing Portsmouth’s borrowing capacity to $40,000,000 and extending the maturity date to July 31, 2027. In May 2025, the parties agreed to reduce the loan’s interest rate from 12% to 9%.

Note payable to Hilton (Franchisor) is a self-exhausting, interest free development incentive note which is reduced by approximately $317,000 annually through 2030 by Hilton if the Hotel remains a franchisee under the Hilton brand.
On February 1, 2017, Operating entered into a Hotel Management Agreement (“HMA”) with Aimbridge to manage the Hotel, with an effective takeover date of February 3, 2017. The term of the HMA is for an initial period of 10 years and automatically renews for up to five additional years in aggregate, subject to certain conditions. The HMA also provides for Aimbridge to advance a key money incentive fee to the Hotel for capital improvements in the amount of $2,000,000 under certain terms and conditions described in a separate key money agreement. The key money contribution shall be amortized in equal monthly amounts over an eight (8) year period commencing on the second anniversary of the takeover date. The unamortized portion of the key money in the amount of $396,000 and $646,000 at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, is included in other notes payable in the consolidated balance sheets.
