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 common partnership interest as “partnership units,” and the Operating Partnership’s preferred interest as the “preferred units.” 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, 2022 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 of 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;

• Note 8 – Common Stock and Units;

• Note 13 – Loss Per Share and Per Unit; and

• Part I, Item 4 - Controls and Procedures; and

• Part II, Item 6 - Certifications of CEO and CFO pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

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. The Company historically has 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, as of June 30, 2022, consisted of investments in ten hotel properties, comprising 2,786 rooms and two hotel commercial condominium units and their associated rental programs. Seven of our hotels operated under the Hilton, DoubleTree, and Hyatt brands, and three are independent hotels.

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, 2022 was approximately 94.4% owned by the Company, and its subsidiaries, lease its hotels to direct and indirect subsidiaries of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “MHI TRS Entities”), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2022, the MHI TRS Entities engaged Our Town Hospitality, LLC (“Our Town”), an eligible independent management company, to operate the hotels under management contracts. MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc. (“MHI TRS”) is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.

All references in these “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” to “we”, “us”, “our” and “Sotherly” refer to the Company, its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and predecessors, collectively, unless the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated.

Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic and the virus has continued to spread throughout the United States and the world. The pandemic and subsequent government mandates and health official recommendations have significantly impacted hotel demand. Following the initial implementation of government mandates and health official recommendations, we significantly reduced operations at all our hotels, suspended operations of our hotel condominium rental programs and dramatically reduced staffing and expenses. Our hotels have been gradually re-introducing guest amenities relative to the return of business while focusing on profit generators and margin control. We intend to continue those re-introductions, provided that we can be confident that occupancy levels and reduced social distancing will not unduly jeopardize the health and safety of our guests, employees and communities.

COVID-19 had a significant negative impact on our operations and financial results in 2021, including a substantial decline in our revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations compared to similar pre-pandemic periods. We continue to experience lingering impact from COVID-19 in 2022, albeit to a lesser degree. A significant increase in leisure travel demand contributed to improved results for 2021 compared to 2020. While business travel demand has increased, it continues to lag behind pre-pandemic levels and it is not clear when and to what extent that pre-pandemic level of demand will return. As a result, although we anticipate further recovery in 2022, the Company cannot estimate with certainty when travel demand will fully recover.

15

---

As of June 30, 2022, we failed to meet the financial covenants under the mortgage secured by The Whitehall. We have received a waiver of the financial covenants from the lender on The Whitehall mortgage through June 30, 2022. While the Company believes it will be successful in obtaining waivers, loan modifications or securing refinance arrangements, it cannot provide assurance that it will be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all. Based on our current projections, following the expiration of the waiver on the financial covenants from the mortgage lender on The Whitehall, we do not anticipate that the financial performance of the property will have sufficiently recovered in order to meet the existing covenants. If we fail to obtain additional waivers from the lender, the Company would be required to make a prepayment, which we estimate at approximately $11.7 million, in order to bring the loan into compliance.

As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $24.0 million in unrestricted cash and approximately $7.4 million in restricted cash.

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires that, when preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Based on our current unrestricted and restricted cash on hand, our operating results and our forecast of obligations coming due 12 months from the date of this report, the Company has concluded that there are no longer conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Overview of Significant Transactions

Significant transactions occurring during the current period and prior fiscal year include the following:

On June 21, 2021, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Palogic Value Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Palogic”). Pursuant to that share exchange agreement, Palogic agreed to exchange 100,000 shares of the Company’s 8.0% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), 85,000 shares of the Company’s 7.875% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), and 35,000 shares of the Company’s 8.25% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Palogic Shares”), together with all of Palogic’s rights to receive accrued and unpaid dividends on those Palogic Shares, for 1,542,727 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Shares”). We closed the transaction and issued the Company Shares on June 22, 2021. The Company did not receive any cash proceeds as a result of the exchange of the Palogic Shares for the Company’s common stock, and the Palogic Shares exchanged have been retired and cancelled. The issuance of the shares of the Company’s common stock was made by the Company pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), contained in Section 3(a)(9) of such act on the basis that these offers constituted an exchange with existing holders of the Company’s securities, and no commission or other remuneration was paid to any party for soliciting such exchange.

On December 9, 2021, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Palogic. Pursuant to that share exchange agreement, Palogic agreed to exchange 75,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, together with all of Palogic’s rights to receive accrued and unpaid dividends on those Series C Preferred Stock shares, for 620,919 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share. Closing of the transaction occurred on December 9, 2021. The common shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, as amended, for securities exchanged by an issuer with an existing security holder in a transaction where no commission or other remuneration was be paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such an exchange.

On June 10, 2022, we closed the sale of the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh-Brownstone University hotel. The Company used approximately $18.6 million of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the hotel to repay the existing mortgage on the property and approximately $19.8 million of the net cash proceeds to repay a portion of the secured notes (the "Secured Notes") with KWHP SOHO, LLC and MIG SOHO, LLC (together, the “Investors”) as required by the terms of the Secured Notes. The Company intends to use the remaining net cash proceeds to make any distributions on the Company’s preferred stock that may be required in order to comply with the REIT requirements applicable to the Company related to distributions of taxable income, and for general corporate purposes. The Investors received approximately $19.8 million of the proceeds from the sale of the hotel, of which approximately $13.3 million was applied toward principal, approximately $6.3 million was applied toward the exit fee owed under the Secured Notes, and approximately $0.2 million was applied toward accrued interest.

On June 29, 2022, the Company used the proceeds from the refinance of the Hotel Alba Tampa, along with approximately $0.2 million of cash on hand as well as the balance of the interest reserve under the Secured Notes of approximately $0.5 million, to satisfy and pay in full the Secured Notes. The Investors received approximately $8.3 million in satisfaction of the Secured Notes, of which approximately $5.6 million was applied toward principal, approximately $2.6 million was applied toward the exit fee owed under the Secured Notes, and approximately $0.02 million was applied toward accrued interest. Concurrent with the cancellation of the Secured Notes, the following agreements were also terminated in accordance with their terms: (i) Note Purchase Agreement; (ii) Pledge and Security Agreement; (iii) Board Observer Agreement; and (iv) other related ancillary agreements.

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. Additionally,

17

---

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.

Variable Interest Entities – The Operating Partnership is a variable interest entity. The Company’s only significant asset is its investment in the Operating Partnership, and consequently, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. All of the Company’s debt is an obligation of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Investment in Hotel Properties – Investments in hotel properties include investments in operating properties which are recorded at fair value on acquisition date and allocated to land, property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets. If substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset, the asset is not considered a business. When we conclude that an acquisition meets this threshold, acquisition costs will be capitalized as part of our allocation of the purchase price of the acquired asset. We capitalize the costs of significant additions and improvements that materially upgrade, increase the value of or extend the useful life of the property. These costs may include refurbishment, renovation, and remodeling expenditures, as well as certain direct internal costs related to construction projects. 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.

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.

The Company assesses the carrying values of its investments in hotel properties 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 exceeds 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.

The Company determined that there were no impairments as of June 30, 2022.

Assets Held For Sale – The Company records 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. 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.

	Six Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2022		June 30, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents		23,969,135		21,822,863
Restricted cash		7,383,626		11,709,866
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of the period	$	31,352,761	$	33,532,729

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. Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consists primarily of hotel guest and banqueting receivables. Ongoing evaluations of collectability 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 net realizable value, with cost determined on a method that approximates first-in, first-out basis. 18

---

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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $265,601 and $294,390, respectively. Amortization expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, totaled $12,282 and $14,871, respectively, and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, totaled $ 24,289 and $29,741, respectively.Deferred Financing 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 and unsecured notes, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred offering costs are recorded at cost and consist of offering fees and other costs incurred in advance of 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. Derivative Instruments – Our derivative instruments are reflected as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets 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 currently use interest rate caps and an interest rate swap which act as cash flow hedges and are not designated as hedges. We value our interest-rate caps and interest rate swap 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 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.

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 measurement. The following table represents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the basis for that measurement (our interest rate caps and interest rate swap are the only assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, there were no non-recurring assets or liabilities for fair value measurements as of June 30, 2022 and there were two non-recurring assets and no non-recurring liabilities for fair value measurements as of December 31, 2021, respectively):

(2) Interest rate swap, which takes the Loan Rate and swaps it for a fixed interest rate of 5.237%; notional amounts of the swap approximate the declining balance of the loan.

(3) Mortgage loans are reflected at outstanding principal balance, net of deferred financing costs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(4) Investment in hotel properties, net, a non-recurring asset, is reflected at appraised value as of December 31, 2021.

(5) Investment in hotel properties held for sale, net, a non-recurring asset, is reflected at net realizable value as of December 31, 2021.

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 – Revenue consists of amounts derived from hotel operations, including the sales of rooms, food and beverage, and other ancillary services. Room revenue is recognized over a customer’s hotel stay. Revenue from food and beverage and other ancillary services is generated when a customer chooses to purchase goods or services separately from a hotel room and revenue is recognized on these distinct goods and services at the point in time or over the time period that goods or services are provided to the customer. Certain ancillary services are provided by third parties and the Company assesses whether it is the principal or agent in these arrangements. If the Company is the agent, revenue is recognized based upon the gross commission earned from the third party. If the Company is the principal, the Company recognizes revenue based upon the gross sales price. Some contracts for rooms or food and beverage services require an upfront deposit which is recorded as advanced deposits (or contract liabilities) shown on our consolidated balance sheets and recognized once the performance obligations are satisfied.

Certain of the Company’s hotels have retail spaces, restaurants or other spaces which the Company leases to third parties. Lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease and included in other operating revenues in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The Company collects sales, use, occupancy and similar taxes at its hotels which are presented on a net basis on the consolidated statements of operations.

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 consolidated statements of operations pursuant to the terms of each lease. Lease revenue was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

A schedule of minimum future lease payments receivable for the remaining six and twelve-month periods is as follows:

Remaining six months ending December 31, 2022		608,207
December 31, 2023		1,202,326
December 31, 2024		1,199,584
December 31, 2025		1,171,782
December 31, 2026		1,162,514
December 31, 2027 and thereafter		16,419,018
Total	$	21,763,431

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. A valuation allowance is required for deferred tax assets if, based on all available evidence, it is “more-likely-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 realization is greater than 50%, that we either 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. As of June 30, 2022, we have determined that it is more-likely-than-not that we will not be able to fully utilize our deferred tax assets for future tax consequences, therefore a 100% valuation allowance is required. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2020, deferred tax assets each totaled $0, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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, 2022, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which the Company is subject generally include 2014 through 2021. In addition, as of June 30, 2022, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which MHI TRS is subject, because of open NOL carryforwards, generally include 2014 through 2021.

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

As of June 30, 2022, under the 2013 Plan, the Company has made cumulative stock awards totaling 745,160 shares, including 680,160 unrestricted shares and 65,000 restricted shares issued to certain executives and employees and to its independent directors. All awards have vested except for: 50,000 shares issued to certain employees, which will vest over the next eight years and 15,000 shares issued to the Company’s independent directors, which will vest by December 31, 2022. The remaining 4,840 shares have been deregistered, as of June 20, 2022.

Under the 2013 Plan, the Company was able to 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, 2022, no performance-based stock awards have been granted. Total compensation cost recognized under the 2013 Plan for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $82,751 and $18,195, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $488,578 and $481,156, respectively.

The Company’s 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which the Company’s stockholders approved in April 2022, permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock and performance share compensation awards to its employees and directors for up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock.

Under the 2022 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, 2022, no performance-based stock awards have been granted. As of June 30, 2022, under the 2022 Plan, the Company had not issued any stock awards.

Additionally, the Company sponsors and maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“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, are considered compensation expense. The Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the Company’s ESOP shares during the periods in which they are committed to be released. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the ESOP compensation cost was $14,649 and $22,086, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the ESOP compensation cost was $28,803 and $44,172, respectively. 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, including internet advertising, were $534,734, and $454,818 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $1,157,417 and $775,584, 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. The gain on involuntary conversion of assets, 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. Use of Estimates – The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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. New Accounting Pronouncements – In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The update provides guidance in accounting for changes in contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions as a result of this reference rate reform. The option expedients and exceptions contained within this update, in general, only apply to contract amendments and modifications entered into prior to January 1, 2023. The provisions of this update will most likely affect our financial reporting process relating to modifications of contracts with lenders and the hedging contracts associated with each respective modified borrowing contract. In general, the provision of the update would benefit us by allowing modifications of debt contracts with lenders that fall under the guidance of ASC Topic 740 to be accounted for as a non-substantial modification and not be considered debt extinguishment. As of June 30, 2022, we have not entered into any contract modification as it directly relates to reference rate reform, with the exception of a modification to the mortgages on the Whitehall in Houston, Texas, which changed the reference rate from LIBOR to the New York Prime Rate, and on Hotel Alba Tampa, Tapestry Collection in Tampa, Florida, which changed the reference rate from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR). The Company anticipates having to undertake more modifications in the future. While the Company anticipates the impact of this update may be to its benefit, the Company is still evaluating the overall impact.

3. Disposal of Assets

Sheraton Louisville Riverside and DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh-Brownstone University. On February 10, 2022 and June 10, 2022, we closed on the sale of our hotel properties the Sheraton Louisville Riverside and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh-Brownstone University, respectively. The results of operations for these two properties are included in our consolidated financial statements through the date of disposal. The following proforma financial information presents the results of operations of the Company and the Operating Partnership for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as if disposed of properties, the Sheraton Louisville Riverside and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh-Brownstone University had taken place on January 1, 2021. The following proforma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations, had the transactions taken place on January 1, 2021:

and carries an interest rate of 1.00%. Equal payments of principal and interest begin no later than 10 months following origination of the loan and are amortized over the remaining term of the loan. Pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act, the proceeds of each PPP Loan may be used for payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs. The promissory note for each PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breach of representations and warranties or of provisions of the relevant promissory note. Under the terms of the CARES Act, each borrower can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. No assurance is provided that any borrower will obtain forgiveness under any relevant PPP Loan in whole or in part.

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, 2022, our ten wholly-owned hotels, and our two condo-hotel rental programs, operated under management agreements with Our Town (see Note 9). The management agreements expire on March 31, 2025 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, 2022, most of our hotels operate under franchise licenses from national hotel companies. Under the franchise agreements, we are required to pay a franchise fee generally between 3.0% and 5.0% of room revenues, plus additional fees for marketing, central reservation systems, and other franchisor programs and services that amount to between 3.0% and 4.0% of gross revenues from the hotels. The franchise agreements currently in force expire between November 2021 and March 2038. 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 Hotel Ballast, The DeSoto, the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone-University, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverside, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach, 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 Hotel Ballast, The

DeSoto, the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone–University, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverside, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach, The Whitehall and the Georgian Terrace and equal 4.0% of room revenues for the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport and the Hyatt Centric Arlington.

ESOP Loan Commitment – The Company’s board of directors approved the ESOP on November 29, 2016, which was adopted by the Company in December 2016 and effective January 1, 2016. The ESOP is a non-contributory defined contribution plan covering all employees of the Company. The ESOP is a leveraged ESOP, meaning the contributed 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. Under the loan agreement, the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time may not exceed $5.0 million and the ESOP may borrow additional funds up to that limit in the future, until December 29, 2036. At June 30, 2022, the balance on the loan was approximately $3.1 million leaving capacity for additional borrowing of approximately $1.9 million under the commitment.

On May 23, 2022, one holder of units in the Operating Partnership converted 50,000 units for an equivalent number of shares in the Company’s common stock.

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 of shares issuable upon exercise of the redemption rights will be adjusted upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro-rata share transactions, which otherwise would have the effect of diluting the ownership interests of the limited partners or the stockholders of the Company.

Since January 1, 2021, there have been no issuances or redemptions, of units in the Operating Partnership other than the issuances of units in the Operating Partnership to the Company described above.

As of June 30, 2022, there were unpaid common dividends and distributions to holders of record as of March 13, 2020, in the amount of $2,088,160.

9. Related Party Transactions

Our Town Hospitality. Our Town is currently the management company for each of our ten wholly owned hotels, as well as the manager of our rental programs at the Hyde Resort & Residences and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences. Prior to February 25, 2022, our Town was a majority-owned subsidiary of Newport Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Newport”). As of June 30, 2022, Andrew M. Sims, our Chairman, and David R. Folsom, our President and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owned approximately 94.3% and 5.7%, respectively, of the total outstanding ownership interests in Our Town. The following is a summary of the transactions with Our Town:

Accounts Receivable – At June 30, 2022 and 2021, we were due approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, from Our Town.

Management Agreements – On September 6, 2019, the Company entered into a master agreement with Newport and Our Town related to the management of ten of our hotels. On December 13, 2019, we entered into an amendment to the master agreement (as amended, the “OTH Master Agreement”), as well as a series of individual hotel management agreements for the management of those ten of our hotels. On April 1, 2020, Our Town became the manager of our DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach hotel, as well as the manager for our rental programs at the Hyde Resort & Residences and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences. On November 15, 2020, Our Town became the manager of our Hyatt Centric Arlington hotel. The hotel management agreements for each of our ten wholly-owned hotels and the two rental programs are referred to as, individually an “OTH Hotel Management Agreement” and, together the “OTH Hotel Management Agreements”. The term of the OTH Hotel Management Agreements extends through March 31, 2035, and may be extended for two periods of five years each.

The OTH Master Agreement provides for an adjustment to the fees payable by us under the OTH Hotel Management Agreements in the event the net operating income of Our Town falls below $250,000 for any calendar year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. The OTH Master Agreement expires on March 31, 2035 but shall be extended beyond 2035 for such additional periods as an OTH Hotel Management Agreement remains in effect. The base management fees for each hotel under management with Our Town is 2.50%. For any new individual hotel management agreements, Our Town 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.

Base management and administrative fees earned by Our Town for our properties were approximately $1.0 million and $0.9 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2022, were approximately $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Each OTH Hotel Management Agreement sets an incentive management fee equal to 10.0% of the amount by which gross operating profit, as defined in the relevant 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. Incentive management fees earned for the three months ending June 30, 2022 and 2021, were $56,135 and $82,427, respectively and for the six months ending June 30, 2022, were $314,673 and $332,594, respectively.

Each OTH Hotel Management Agreement provides for the payment of a termination fee upon the sale of the hotel equal to the lesser of the management fee paid with respect to the prior twelve months or the management fees paid for the number of months prior to the closing date of the hotel sale equal to the number of months remaining on the current term of the management agreement. Coincident with the sale of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone – University, Our Town was due $260,272 in termination fees, which amount has been paid.

Sublease – On December 13, 2019, we entered into a sublease agreement with Our Town pursuant to which Our Town subleases 2,245 square feet of office space from Sotherly for a period of 5 years, with a 5 year renewal subject to approval by Sotherly, on terms and conditions similar to the terms of the prime lease entered into by Sotherly and the third-party owner of the property. Lease payments due to the Company were $211,117 and $147,217, as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Employee Medical Benefits – We purchase employee medical coverage for eligible employees that are employed by Our Town and who work exclusively for our properties and elect to participate in Our Town’s self-insured plan. Gross premiums for employee medical benefits paid by the Company (before offset of employee co-payments) were approximately $0.9 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, were approximately $1.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Others. We employed Ashley S. Kirkland, the daughter of our Chairman, as Corporate Counsel and Compliance Officer until her departure in January, 2022 and continue to employ Robert E. Kirkland IV, her husband, as our General Counsel. We also employ Andrew M. Sims Jr., the son of our Chairman, as Vice President – Operations & Investor Relations. Total compensation for all three individuals, including salary and benefits, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, totaled $119,926 and $107,115, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, were $252,624 and $212,984, respectively.

10. Retirement Plans

401(k) Plan - We maintain a 401(k) plan for qualified employees which is subject to “safe harbor” provisions. Those provisions include a matching employer contribution consisting of 100.0% of the first 3.0% of employee contributions and 50.0% of the next 2.0% of employee contributions. In addition, all employer matching funds vest immediately. We ceased making matching employer contributions effective May 16, 2020 and reinstated them in January 2022. Contributions to the plan totaled $28,503 and $0, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, were $51,642 and $0, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan - The Company adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan in December 2016, effective January 1, 2016, which 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.

Between January 3, 2017 and February 28, 2017, the Company’s ESOP had purchased 682,500 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market at a cost of approximately $4.9 million. 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.

A total of 254,682 shares with a fair value of $443,147 remained allocated or committed to be released from the suspense account, as of June 30, 2022. We recognized as compensation cost $28,803 and $44,172, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The remaining 424,621 unallocated shares have an approximate fair value of $738,840, as of June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the ESOP held a total of 247,605 allocated shares, 7,077 committed-to-be-released shares and 424,621 suspense shares. Dividends on allocated and unallocated shares are used to pay down the ESOP loan from the Operating Partnership.

13. Income (Loss) Per Share and Per Unit

Income (Loss) 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 partner 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 or loss would also be added back to net income or loss. The shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D 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 non-committed, unearned ESOP shares are treated as reducing the number of issued and outstanding common shares and similarly reducing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The unallocated ESOP shares have been excluded in the weighted average for the basic and diluted earnings per share computation. The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is presented below:

(1) Operated as an independent hotel.

(2) Reflects only those condominium units that were participating in the rental program, as of June 30, 2022. At any given time, some portion of the units 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 94.4% interest in our Operating Partnership, as of the date of this report, 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, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership can operate our hotels. Therefore, our wholly-owned hotel properties are leased to our MHI TRS Entities, which are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Our MHI TRS Entities then engage eligible independent hotel management companies to operate the hotels under a management agreement. Our MHI TRS Entities have engaged Our Town to manage our hotels. Our MHI TRS Entities, and their parent, MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., are consolidated into each of our financial statements for accounting purposes. The earnings of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc. are subject to taxation similar to other C corporations.

Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic and the virus has continued to spread throughout the United States and the world. The pandemic and subsequent government mandates and health official recommendations have significantly impacted hotel demand. Following the initial implementation of government mandates and health official recommendations, we significantly reduced operations at all our hotels, suspended operations of our hotel condominium rental programs and dramatically reduced staffing and expenses. Our hotels have been gradually re-introducing guest amenities relative to the return of business while focusing on profit generators and margin control. We intend to continue those re-introductions, provided that we can be confident that occupancy levels and reduced social distancing will not unduly jeopardize the health and safety of our guests, employees and communities.

COVID-19 had a significant negative impact on our operations and financial results in 2021, including a substantial decline in our revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations compared to similar pre-pandemic periods. We continue to experience lingering impact from COVID-19 in 2022, albeit to a lesser degree. A significant increase in leisure travel demand contributed to improved results for 2021 compared to 2020. While business travel demand has increased, it continues to lag behind pre-pandemic levels and it is not clear when and to what extent that pre-pandemic level of demand will return. As a result, although we anticipate further recovery in 2022, the Company cannot estimate with certainty when travel demand will fully recover.

As of June 30, 2022, we failed to meet the financial covenants under the mortgage secured by The Whitehall. We have received a waiver of the financial covenants from the lender on The Whitehall mortgage through June 30, 2022. While the Company believes it will be successful in obtaining waivers, loan modifications or securing refinance arrangements, it cannot provide assurance that it will be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all. Based on our current projections, following the expiration of the waiver on the financial covenants from the mortgage lender on The Whitehall, we do not anticipate that the financial performance of the property will have sufficiently recovered in order to meet the existing covenants. If we fail to obtain additional waivers from the lender, we would be required to make a prepayment, which we estimate at $11.7 million, in order to bring the loan into compliance.

As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $24.0 million in unrestricted cash and approximately $7.4 million in restricted cash.

U.S. GAAP requires that, when preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Based on our current unrestricted and restricted cash on hand, our operating results and our forecast of obligations coming due 12 months from the date of this report, the Company has concluded that there are no longer conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Secured Note Financing

On December 31, 2020, we closed a transaction with KW, as collateral agent and a note investor, and MIG, as a note investor, whereby the Investors purchased $20.0 million in Secured Notes from the Operating Partnership. We entered into the following agreements: (i) a Note Purchase Agreement; (ii) a Secured Note with KW in the amount of $10.0 million and a Secured Note with MIG in the amount of $10.0 million; (iii) a Pledge and Security Agreement; (iv) a Board Observer Agreement; and (v) other related ancillary agreements.

On June 10, 2022, the Company used the proceeds from the sale of the Doubletree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone-University hotel to partially repay the Secured Notes. The Investors received approximately $19.8 million of the proceeds from the sale of the hotel, of which approximately $13.3 million was applied toward principal, approximately $6.3 million was applied toward the exit fee owed under the Secured Notes, and approximately $0.2 million was applied toward accrued interest. Additionally, the terms of the Secured Notes allowed for the release of a portion of the interest reserves in the amount of approximately $1.6 million, of which approximately $1.1 million was applied toward principal and approximately $0.5 million was applied toward the exit fee.

On June 29, 2022, the Company used the proceeds from the refinance of the Hotel Alba Tampa, along with approximately $0.2 million of cash on hand as well as the balance of the interest reserve under the Secured Notes of approximately $0.5 million, to satisfy and pay in full the Secured Notes. The Investors received approximately $8.3 million in satisfaction of the Secured Notes, of which approximately $5.6 million was applied toward principal, approximately $2.6 million was applied toward the exit fee owed under the Secured Notes, and approximately $0.2 million was applied toward accrued interest. Concurrent with the cancellation of the Secured Notes, the following agreements were also terminated in accordance with their terms: (i) Note Purchase Agreement; (ii) Pledge and Security Agreement; (iii) Board Observer Agreement; and (iv) other related ancillary agreements.

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 reservations expense), 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 and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences that participate in our rental programs and are not reserved for owner-occupancy.

We also use FFO, Adjusted FFO and Hotel EBITDA as measures 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, 2022, 2021 and 2019, respectively, for the Company’s wholly-owned properties (“actual” portfolio metrics). Accordingly, the actual data does not include the participating condominium hotel rooms of the Hyde Resort & Residences and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences. The ten wholly-owned properties in the portfolio that were under the Company’s control during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and the corresponding periods in 2021 and 2019 are considered same-store properties (“same-store” portfolio metrics). Accordingly, the same-store data does not reflect the performance of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside which was sold in February 2022, or the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh-Brownstone University which was sold in June 2022. The composite portfolio metrics represent the Company’s wholly-owned properties and the participating condominium hotel rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and the corresponding periods in 2021 and 2019. The same-store (composite) portfolio metrics includes all properties with the exceptions of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside, DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh-Brownstone University and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and the corresponding periods in 2021and 2019.

Given the drastic and unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operating results in 2021 and 2020, we believe that a comparison of our results through the three and six month periods ending June 2022, to both the June 2021 and June 2019

comparable periods in this overview section, allows for a better understanding of the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the progress of our recovery.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased approximately $12.8 million, or 37.2%, to approximately $47.2 million compared to total revenue of approximately $34.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. There was an aggregate increase in total revenue of approximately $14.5 million from ten of our properties, offset by a decrease of approximately $0.5 million, at the Hyde Beach House & Resort and a decrease of approximately $1.2 million as a result of the sale of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in February 2022. There were significant increases in demand primarily driven by the lifting of restrictions on travel, social gatherings and businesses as well as significant increases in demand for business travel compared to the same period in the prior year.

Room revenue increased approximately $8.5 million, or 35.3%, to approximately $32.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to room revenue of approximately $24.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in room revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 resulted from an aggregate increase of approximately $9.5 million from ten of our properties, offset by a decrease of approximately $1.0 million as a result of the sale of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in February 2022. The improvement was mainly due to an increase in occupancy from $58.6% to 68.8% coupled with an increase in ADR from $142.79 to $179.32 and an increase in RevPAR from $83.73 to $123.29. These significant increases are mainly due to the lifting of restrictions on travel, social gatherings and businesses as well as significant increases in demand for business travel.

Food and beverage revenues increased approximately $4.2 million, or 120.2%, to approximately $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to food and beverage revenues of approximately $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in food and beverage revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022, resulted from an aggregate increase from ten of our properties, offset by the loss of food and beverage revenue during the quarter following the sale of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in February 2022.

Revenue from other operating departments increased approximately $0.1 million, or 1.1%, to approximately $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to revenue from other operating departments of approximately $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Increases in parking revenue at our property in Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia offset a decrease in fees of approximately $0.5 million earned at the Hyde Resort in Hollywood, Florida and non-recurring $0.2 million in business interruption proceeds earned in the prior year at our property in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses, which consist of room expenses, food and beverage expenses, other direct expenses, indirect expenses and management fees, increased approximately $7.7 million, or 31.0%, to approximately $32.4 million for

the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to total hotel operating expenses of approximately $24.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in hotel operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 resulted from an aggregate increase in total hotel operating expenses of approximately $9.3 million, with the exception of our properties in Raleigh, North Carolina, Jeffersonville, Indiana, the Hyde Resort in Hollywood, Florida and the Hyde Beach House & Resort in Hollywood, Florida, which had a decrease in hotel operating expenses of approximately $1.6 million. This was due mainly to the significant increases in demand driven by the lifting of restrictions on travel, social gatherings and businesses; significant increases in demand from mostly transient consumers; increases in travel by some group business and increases in the number of foreign travelers.

Rooms expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased approximately $1.3 million, or 21.8%, to approximately $7.2 million, compared to rooms expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of approximately $5.9 million. The increase in rooms expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, resulted from an aggregate increase of approximately $1.7 million from all of our properties, with the exception of our sold properties in Raleigh, North Carolina and Jeffersonville, Indiana which had a decrease in hotel operating expenses of approximately $0.4 million. The improvement was mainly due to increased composite occupancy of 68.0%, compared to prior year three months ending June 30, 2021, occupancy of 59.0%. This significant increase is mainly due to the above mentioned factors.

Food and beverage expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased approximately $3.1 million, or 149.5%, to approximately $5.2 million, compared to food and beverage expenses of approximately $2.1 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The net increase in food and beverage expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 resulted from an aggregate increase of approximately $3.2 million, from all of our properties, with the exception of our sold property in Jefferson, Indiana, which had a decrease in expenses by approximately $0.1 million. This was mainly due to the significant increases in demand driven by the lifting of restrictions on travel, social gatherings and businesses; significant increases in demand from mostly transient consumers; increases in travel by some group business and increases in the number of foreign travelers.

Expenses from other operating departments remained relatively the same at approximately $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to expenses from other operating departments of approximately $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Indirect expenses at our wholly-owned properties for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased approximately $3.3 million, or 23.4%, to approximately $17.3 million, compared to indirect expenses of approximately $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in indirect expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 resulted from an aggregate increase in total hotel operating expenses of approximately $4.1 million, with the exception of our properties in Raleigh, North Carolina, Jeffersonville, Indiana and the Hyde Resort in Hollywood, Florida, which had a decrease in hotel operating expenses of approximately $0.8 million. This was mainly due to the significant increases in demand driven by the lifting of restrictions on travel, social gatherings and businesses; significant increases in demand from mostly transient consumers; increases in travel by some group business and increases in the number of foreign travelers.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased approximately $0.1 million, or 6.4%, to approximately $1.4 million compared to corporate general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.5 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses was mainly due to one-time loan modification fees in the prior period associated with the forbearance granted us related to the mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Resort Hollywood Beach and receipt of payroll tax incentives offset by an increase in the current period in legal and other professional fees.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased approximately $0.2 million, or 3.3%, to approximately $5.3 million, as compared to interest expense of approximately $5.5 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was substantially related to decreases in the amount of corporate debt especially attributable to the sale of the hotel property in Jeffersonville, Indiana in February 2022.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. When the Secured Notes were extinguished in June 2022 and paid off prior to the maturity date, a loss on early extinguishment was recognized in the current period for the unamortized exit fee as well as the unamortized origination costs, which totaled approximately $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. No prepayment of debt occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Gain on Involuntary Conversion of Assets. Gain on involuntary conversion of assets for the three months ended June 30, 2022, decreased approximately $0.4 million, from approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The gains were related to casualties at our properties in, Wilmington, North Carolina, Houston, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia.

Unrealized Gain on Hedging Activities. As of June 30, 2022, the fair market value of our interest rate cap was $0 and the fair market value of our interest rate swap liability is $1,310. The unrealized gain on hedging activities during the three months ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $0.6 million and during the three months ended June 30, 2021, the unrealized gain on hedging activities was approximately $0.3 million.

Gain on Sale of Assets. During the three month period ended June 30, 2022, we sold the property in Raleigh, North Carolina for a gain of approximately $30.1 million.

Income Taxes. We had an income tax provision of $11,615 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to an income tax provision of $6,972, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. MHI TRS realized operating losses for each of the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Net Income (Loss). We realized a net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 of approximately $27.6 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $1.6 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, because of the operating results discussed above.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Revenue. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased approximately $28.5 million, or 50.0%, to approximately $85.5 million compared to total revenue of approximately $57.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. There was an aggregate increase in total revenue of approximately $30.7 million from ten of our properties, offset by a decrease of approximately $0.6 million at the Hyde Resort in Hollywood, Florida and a decrease of approximately $1.6 million as a result of the sale of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in February 2022. There were significant increases in demand primarily driven by the lifting of restrictions on travel, social gatherings and businesses as well as, significant increases in demand for business travel.

Room revenue increased approximately $17.9 million, or 45.2%, to approximately $57.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to room revenue of approximately $39.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in room revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted from an aggregate increase of approximately $19.3 million from ten of our properties, offset by a decrease of approximately $1.4 million as a result of the sale of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in Jeffersonville, Indiana in February 2022. The improvement was due to an increase occupancy from 49.9% to 61.1% and an increase in ADR from $138.70 to $174.30. These increases are mainly due to the lifting of restrictions on travel, social gatherings and businesses as well as significant increases in demand for business travel.

Food and beverage revenues increased approximately $8.3 million, or 164.2%, to approximately $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to food and beverage revenues of approximately $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in food and beverage revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulted from an aggregate increase from ten of our properties, offset by the loss of food and beverage revenue during the quarter following the sale of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in Jeffersonville, Indiana, in February 2022.

Revenue from other operating departments increased approximately $2.4 million, or 19.0%, to approximately $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to revenue from other operating departments of approximately $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Increases in parking revenue at many of our properties as well as $1.0 million received under the North Carolina Business Recovery Grant offset decreases in fees of approximately $0.6 million earned at the Hyde Resort in Hollywood, Florida; a non-recurring $0.2 million in business interruption proceeds earned in the prior year at our property in Wilmington, North Carolina; and a non-recurring COVID relief grant of approximately $0.3 million received in the prior period by our hotel in Laurel, Maryland.

Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses, which consist of room expenses, food and beverage expenses, other direct expenses, indirect expenses and management fees, increased approximately $17.6 million, or 40.8%, to approximately $60.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to total hotel operating expenses of approximately $43.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in hotel operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted from an aggregate increase in total hotel operating expenses of approximately $19.3 million, with the exception of our properties in Jeffersonville, Indiana and the Hyde Resort in Hollywood, Florida, which had a decrease in hotel operating expenses of approximately $1.7 million. This was due mainly to the significant increases in demand driven by the lifting of restrictions on travel, social gatherings and businesses; significant increases in demand from mostly transient consumers; increases in travel by some group business and increases in the number of foreign travelers.

Rooms expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased approximately $3.2 million, or 32.7%, to approximately $13.1 million, compared to rooms expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of approximately $9.9 million. The increase in rooms expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulted from an aggregate increase of approximately $3.7 million from all of our

properties, with the exception of our sold property in Jeffersonville, Indiana which had a decrease in hotel operating expenses of approximately $0.5 million. The improvement was mainly due to increased composite occupancy of 60.8%, compared to prior year six months ending June 30, 2021, occupancy of 50.4%. This significant increase is mainly due to the above mentioned factors.

Food and beverage expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased approximately $6.1 million, or 202.9%, to approximately $9.1 million, compared to food and beverage expenses of approximately $3.0 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The net increase in food and beverage expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted from an aggregate increase of approximately $6.2 million, from all of our properties, with the exception of our sold property in Jefferson, Indiana, which had a decrease in expenses by approximately $0.1 million. This was mainly due to the significant increases in demand driven by the lifting of restrictions on travel, social gatherings and businesses; significant increases in demand from mostly transient consumers; increases in travel by some group business and increases in the number of foreign travelers.

Expenses from other operating departments increased approximately $0.5 million, or 10.8%, to approximately $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to expenses from other operating departments of approximately $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in expenses from other operating departments for the six months ended June 30, 2021, resulted from an aggregate increase in other operating expenses of approximately $0.9 million from twelve of our hotel properties. Two of our properties had decreases in other operating expenses aggregating to approximately $0.4 million.

Indirect expenses at our wholly-owned properties for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased approximately $7.8 million, or 30.3%, to approximately $33.4 million, compared to indirect expenses of approximately $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in indirect expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted from an aggregate increase in total hotel operating expenses of approximately $8.6 million, with the exception of our sold property in Jeffersonville, Indiana, which had a decrease in hotel operating expenses of approximately $0.8 million. This was mainly due to the significant increases in demand driven by the lifting of restrictions on travel, social gatherings and businesses; significant increases in demand from mostly transient consumers; increases in travel by some group business and increases in the number of foreign travelers.

Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased approximately $0.1 million, or 4.1%, to approximately $2.9 million compared to corporate general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.8 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses was mainly due to net aggregate increases in salaries, audit fees and legal costs, offset by one-time loan modification fees in the prior period associated with the forbearance granted us related to the mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Resort Hollywood Beach.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased approximately $0.4 million, or 3.4%, to approximately $11.0 million, as compared to interest expense of approximately $11.4 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was substantially related to decreases in the amount of corporate debt especially attributable to the sale of the hotel property in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. When the Secured Notes were extinguished in June 2022 and were paid off prior to the maturity date, a loss on early extinguishment was recognized in the current period for the unamortized exit fee as well as the unamortized origination costs, which totaled approximately $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. No prepayment of debt occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Gain on Involuntary Conversion of Assets. Gain on involuntary conversion of assets decreased approximately $0.4 million, from approximately $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to approximately $0.1 million, for the six months ending June 30, 2022. The gains were related to casualties at our properties in Wilmington, North Carolina, Houston, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia.

Unrealized Gain on Hedging Activities. As of June 30, 2022, the fair market value of our interest rate cap was $0 and the fair market value of our interest rate swap liability is $1,310. The unrealized gain on hedging activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $1.5 million and during the six months ended June 30, 2021, the unrealized gain on hedging activities was approximately $0.7 million.

Gain on Sale of Assets. During the six month period ended June 30, 2022, we sold the property in Raleigh, North Carolina for a gain of approximately $30.1 million.

Income Taxes. We had an income tax provision of $21,269 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to an income tax provision of $9,581, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. MHI TRS realized operating losses for each of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Net Income (Loss). We realized a net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of approximately $26.8million, compared to a net loss of approximately $9.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, because of the operating results discussed above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider the non-GAAP financial measures of FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders (including FFO per common share and unit), Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders, EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA to be key supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and could be considered along with, not alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of the Company’s performance. These measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or amounts available for the Company’s 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 Funds from Operations (“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, gains or losses from involuntary conversions of assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization or impairment, stock compensation costs 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 Available to Common Stockholders and Unitholders 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, gains on extinguishment of preferred stock, 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, management contract termination costs, operating asset depreciation and amortization, change in control gains or losses, ESOP and stock compensation expenses 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.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and Adjusted FFO, for three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

EBITDA. We believe that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, and the portion of those items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrued directly to shareholders.

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) depreciation and amortization, (5) impairment of long-lived assets or investments, (6) gains and losses on disposal and/or sale of assets, (7) gains and losses on involuntary conversions of assets, (8) unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments not included in other comprehensive income, (9) loss on early debt extinguishment, (10) gain on exercise of development right, (11) corporate general and administrative expense, and (12) 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.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Hotel EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal sources of cash are cash from hotel operations, proceeds from the sale of common and preferred stock, proceeds from the sale of secured and unsecured notes, proceeds of mortgage and other debt and hotel property sales. Our principal uses of cash are acquisitions of hotel properties, capital expenditures, debt service and balloon maturities, operating costs, corporate expenses and dividends. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $24.0 million of unrestricted cash and $7.4 million of restricted cash.

Operating Activities. Our net cash flow provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $1.5 million generally consisting of net cash flow provided by hotel operations. The positive cash flow from operations during the quarters and increase from the prior year was due to the increase in occupancy at our hotels as a result of increases in transient consumers, group business, and other business travel due to the lifting of restrictions on travel, social gatherings and business operations. Cash used in or provided by operating activities generally consists of the cash flow from hotel operations, offset by the interest portion of our debt service, corporate expenses and positive or negative changes in working capital.

Investing Activities. Our cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $50.4 million. Of this amount approximately $10.9 million came from the sale of Sheraton Louisville Riverside property and approximately $41.5 million came from the sale of the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University property, approximately $2.6 million was related to capital expenditures for improvements and additions to hotel properties. There were also insurance proceeds related to involuntary conversions of approximately $0.6 million.

Financing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company and Operating Partnership received proceeds of $7.8 million from the refinance of the Hotel Alba mortgage loan, made principal payments on its mortgages of approximately $33.6 million, including the payment of the extinguishment of debt related to the sale of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University. In addition, the Company extinguished debt on its Secured Notes of $20.0 million.

Capital Expenditures

We intend to maintain all our hotels, including any hotel we acquire in the future, in good repair and condition, in conformity with applicable laws and regulations and, when applicable, with franchisor’s standards. Routine capital improvements are determined through the annual budget process over which we maintain approval rights, and which are implemented or administered by our management company.

From time to time, certain of our hotel properties may undergo renovations as a result of our decision to upgrade portions of the hotel, such as guestrooms, meeting space and restaurants, in order to better compete with other hotels in our markets. In addition, we may be required by one or more of our franchisors to complete a property improvement program (“PIP”) in order to bring the hotel up to the franchisor’s standards. Generally, we expect to fund renovations and improvements out of working capital, including restricted cash, proceeds of mortgage debt or equity offerings.

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. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we postponed all major non-essential capital expenditures. If travel demand, occupancy, and RevPAR increase as expected through the remainder of 2022, we expect total capital expenditures to be approximately $6.3 million for 2022.

We expect 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. Except as temporarily provided through loan modifications and forbearance agreements, we deposit an amount equal to 4.0% of gross revenue for The DeSoto, the Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach, The DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverside, The Whitehall 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

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact on our operations and financial results during 2020 and 2021. While the effects have moderated substantially, we continue to experience their effects and expect them to continue throughout 2022. The impact included a substantial decline in our revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations.

During 2020 and into 2021, we entered into forbearance agreements with all our mortgage lenders and negotiated extended payment terms with a few key vendors in order to preserve liquidity. Repayment of deferred amounts of interest, mortgage principal and amounts due certain vendors, which began in 2021, will continue through the end of 2022, with certain amounts being deferred until the applicable loan matures. We estimate the aggregate amount of deferred payments due in 2022 at approximately $7.5 million, of which approximately $3.4 million remained at June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, we had total cash of approximately $31.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we generated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $5.8 million. We expect that our cash on hand combined with our cash flow from our hotels should be adequate to fund continuing operations, recurring capital expenditures for the refurbishment and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and monthly scheduled payments of principal and interest (excluding any balloon payments due upon maturity of our mortgage debt).

In June 2022, we sold the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone – University which generated net proceeds of approximately $19.8 million, which we used to repay a portion of the Secured Notes and the associated repayment factor. Also in June 2022, we refinanced the Hotel Alba mortgage and generated proceeds of approximately $7.5 million, which we used to pay the remainder of the Secured Notes and accrued interest in combination with approximately $2.3 million of unrestricted and restricted cash.

As of the date of this report, we were current on all loan payments on all other mortgages per the terms of our mortgage agreements, as amended. We were in compliance with all loan covenants except the Debt Service Coverage Requirement (“DSCR”) covenant under the mortgage secured by The Whitehall. We have received a waiver of the financial covenants from the lender of the mortgage on The Whitehall mortgage through June 30, 2022. Based on our current projections, we do not anticipate that the financial performance of the property will have sufficiently recovered in order to meet the existing covenants. If we fail to obtain additional waivers from the lender, we may be required to make a substantial prepayment of up to an estimated $11.7 million, in order to bring the loan into compliance.

In 2023, the mortgages on The Whitehall, the DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel and the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport mature. We intend to refinance the mortgages maturing in 2023 at the level of their existing indebtedness or request extensions at existing terms.

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 through other sources, which we expect to be limited as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. There can be no assurance that we will continue to make investments in properties that meet our investment criteria or have access to capital during this period. Additionally, we may choose to dispose of certain hotels as a means to provide liquidity.

Over the long term, we expect to meet our liquidity requirements for hotel property acquisitions, property redevelopment, investments in new joint ventures and debt maturities, 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. We remain committed to a flexible capital structure and strive to maintain prudent debt leverage.

Financial Covenants

Mortgage Loans

Our mortgage loan agreements contain various financial covenants directly related to the financial performance of the collateralized properties. Failure to comply with these financial covenants could result from, among other things, changes in the local competitive environment, disruption caused by renovation activity, major weather disturbances, general economic conditions as well as the effects of the ongoing global pandemic.

As described in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, as of June 30, 2022, we failed to meet certain financial covenants under the mortgage secured by The Whitehall. We have received a waiver of the financial covenants from the lender on The Whitehall mortgage through June 30, 2022.

Certain of our loan agreements also include financial covenants that trigger a “cash trap”. As of December 31, 2021, we had failed to meet the financial covenants under the mortgage secured by the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach. Without the waiver we received from the lender which waives compliance through December 31, 2022, non-compliance with the financial covenant on this and similar mortgages would have triggered a “cash trap” requiring substantially all the revenue generated by those hotels to be deposited directly into lockbox accounts and swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of the respective lenders until each property meets the criteria in the relevant loan agreement for exiting the “cash trap”. In addition, in order to receive forbearance from the lender on the Hyatt Centric Arlington, we agreed to a “cash trap” until the property meets the criteria in the forbearance agreement for exiting the “cash trap”.

Dividend Policy

As approved by its board of directors and announced on March 17, 2020, the Company has suspended its regular quarterly cash common stock dividends in order to preserve liquidity as a result of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 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. As previously announced, the record date for the dividends on the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock, that were to be paid April 15, 2020, to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2020, have each been declared and the payment of dividends on all classes of the Company’s preferred stock has been deferred. The Company may not make distributions with respect to any shares of its common stock, unless and until full cumulative distributions on the outstanding preferred stock for all past unpaid periods are paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set aside. Distributions on shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock are in arrears for the last twelve quarterly periods.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Inflation

We generate revenues primarily from lease payments from our MHI TRS Entities and net income from the operations of our MHI TRS Entities. 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, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia. As a result, we are particularly susceptible to adverse market conditions in these geographic areas, including industry downturns, relocation of businesses, local stay-at-home and business closure orders, 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 preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liability at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. It is possible that the actual amounts may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions. It is also possible that actual amounts may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions. We evaluate our estimates, assumptions and judgment on an ongoing basis, based on information that is available to us, our business and industry experience, and various other matters that we believe are reasonable and appropriate for consideration under the circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies, including certain critical accounting policies, are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes in these critical accounting policies or the methods or assumptions we apply.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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, 2022, we had approximately $295.0 million of fixed-rate debt, including the mortgage on our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania hotel, which is fixed by an interest rate swap to 5.237%, and the PPP Loan of $7.6 million, with a fixed rate of 1.0% and approximately $39.4 million of variable-rate debt. The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 4.70%. 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 the Prime Rate. Assuming that the aggregate amount outstanding on the mortgage on The Whitehall remains at approximately $14.4 million, the balance at June 30, 2022, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent increase in the Prime Rate, would be approximately $0.1 million.

As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately $330.0 million of fixed-rate debt, including the mortgage on our DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport hotel, which is fixed by an interest rate swap to 5.237%, secured notes of $20.0 million with a fixed rate of 6.0% and including the PPP Loan of $7.6 million, with a fixed rate of 1.0% and approximately $50.2 million of variable-rate debt. The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 4.77%. 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 and in Prime Rate. Assuming that the aggregate amount outstanding on the mortgages on the Hotel Alba, The Whitehall and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone-University remains at approximately $50.2 million, the balance at December 31, 2021, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent increase in 1-month LIBOR and in Prime Rate, would be approximately $0.2 million.

Item 4. Controls 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 Exchange Act, as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, 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.

Sotherly Hotels LP

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Operating Partnership’s management, under the supervision and participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., as general partner, has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, 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. 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 LP have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in Sotherly Hotels LP’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 LP’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Sotherly Hotels LP’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not involved in any material legal proceedings, nor to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

From time to time, the Operating Partnership issues limited partnership units to the Company, as required by the Partnership Agreement, to mirror the capital structure of the Company to reflect additional issuances by the Company and to preserve equitable ownership ratios.

On April 11, 2022, we entered into a privately-negotiated share exchange agreement with a holder of its Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Pursuant to that share exchange agreement, the Company exchanged 116,640 shares of its Common Stock for 4,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and 8,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, together with all of the holder’s rights to receive accrued and unpaid dividends on those shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock. Closing of the transaction occurred on April 12, 2022. Those shares of Common Stock were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act for securities exchanged by an issuer with an existing security holder in a transaction where no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such an exchange. Concurrently with the issuance of the shares of Common Stock, the Operating Partnership issued 116,640 limited partnership units to the Company in exchange for 4,000 of the Operating Partnership’s Series B Preferred Units and 8,000 of the Operating Partnership’s Series C Preferred Units.

Concurrently with the issuance of the shares of Common Stock, the Operating Partnership issued 153,504 limited partnership units to the Company in exchange for 5,000 of the Operating Partnership’s Series B Preferred Units and 10,600 of the Operating Partnership’s Series C Preferred Units.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

Preferred Stock

The Company’s distribution on the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock are in arrears for nine quarterly periods. When distributions on any shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the Company’s preferred stock shall be entitled to vote for the election of a total of two additional directors of the Company, at a special meeting or at the next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of the stockholders until full cumulative distributions for all past unpaid periods are paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set aside. In addition, the Company may not make distributions with respect to any shares of its common stock, unless and until full cumulative distributions on the preferred stock for all past unpaid periods are paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set aside.

The Company announced that it was deferring payment of Sotherly’s previously announced dividends for the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock for the period ending March 31, 2020, and deferring payment of dividends for the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock for the

4. ELIGIBILITY

A. Eligibility for Awards. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Corporation or an Affiliate. Other Awards may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee.

B. Substitution Awards. The Committee may grant Awards under this Plan by assumption, substitution or replacement of equity or equity-related awards granted by another entity (including an Affiliate), if such assumption, substitution or replacement is in connection with an asset acquisition, stock acquisition, merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Corporation (and/or its Affiliate) and such other entity (and/or its affiliate). Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan (other than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under this Plan), the terms of such assumed, substituted or replaced Stock Awards or Options shall be as the Committee, in its discretion, determines is appropriate.

5. COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

A. Share Reserve and Limitations on Grants. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9 of this Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under this Plan pursuant to the exercise of Options and issued pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards, Deferred Shares, Performance Units or Performance Shares is 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, provided that of these 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under this Plan pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options is 250,000. This limitation shall be applied as of any date by taking into account the number of shares available to be made the subject of new Awards as of such date, plus the number of shares previously issued under this Plan and the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards as of such date. If any portion of an outstanding

EXHIBIT 10.1

award that was granted under the Sotherly Hotels Inc. 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled or forfeited on or after the date of termination of the 2013 Plan, the shares of Common Stock allocable to the expired, terminated, canceled, or forfeited portion of such 2013 Plan award shall be available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9 of this Plan, the maximum number of Awards for shares of Common Stock that may be granted to a Participant in any one calendar year is 250,000 for each full or fractional year during such calendar year.

B. Reversion of Shares. If an Option becomes unexercisable, or if an Award is terminated or expires, in whole or in part, for any reason, the unissued or unpurchased shares of Common Stock which were subject thereto shall become available for future grant under this Plan. Shares of Common Stock that have been actually issued under this Plan shall not be returned to the share reserve for future grants under this Plan; except that shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a Stock Award which are repurchased or reacquired by the Corporation at the original purchase price of such shares (including, in the case of shares forfeited back to the Corporation, no purchase price), shall be returned to the share reserve for future grant under this Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an Option and Shares used to satisfy tax withholding obligations shall not become available for future grant or sale under the Plan. For avoidance of doubt, this Section 5(B) shall not apply to any per Participant limit set forth in Section 5(A) above.

C. Source of Shares. Common Stock issued under this Plan may be shares of authorized and unissued Common Stock or shares of previously issued Common Stock that have been reacquired by the Corporation.

6. OPTIONS

A. Award. In accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of this Plan, the Committee will designate each Eligible Person to whom an Option is to be granted and will specify the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Option. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option, the vesting schedule applicable to such Option and any other terms of such Option. To the extent that any Option is not designated as or does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option. The terms and conditions of the Stock Option Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Options need not be identical.

B. Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee, but shall comply with the following:

(i) The exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to a Nonqualified Stock Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

(ii) The exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to an Incentive Stock Option:

EXHIBIT 10.1

• granted to a Participant who is deemed to be a Ten Percent Owner on the date such option is granted, shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option on the date of grant.

• granted to any other Participant, shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option on the date of grant.

C. Maximum Option Period. The maximum period during which an Option may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee on the date of grant and set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, except that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date such Option was granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Participant who is or is deemed to be a Ten Percent Owner on the date of grant, such Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. The terms of any Option may provide that it is exercisable for a period less than such maximum period.

D. Maximum Value of Options which are Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted to any person are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under all stock option plans of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) exceeds $100,000 (or such other amount provided in Section 422 of the Code), the Options are not Incentive Stock Options. For purposes of this section, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock will be determined as of the time the Incentive Stock Option with respect to the Common Stock is granted. This section will be applied by taking Incentive Stock Options into account in the order in which they are granted.

E. Nontransferability. Options granted under this Plan which are intended to be Incentive Stock Options shall be nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Participant, such Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable by only the Participant to whom the Incentive Stock Option is granted. If the Stock Option Agreement so provides or the Committee so approves, a Nonqualified Stock Option may be transferred by a Participant through a gift or domestic relations order to the Participant’s family members to the extent in compliance with applicable law including, without limitation, applicable securities laws. The holder of a Nonqualified Stock Option transferred pursuant to this section shall be bound by the same terms and conditions that governed the Option during the period that it was held by the Participant; provided that unless the Committee approves a subsequent transfer, such Option shall be nontransferable by the initial transferee of such Option except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Except to the extent transferability of a Nonqualified Stock Option is provided for in the Stock Option Agreement or is approved by the Committee, during the lifetime of the Participant to whom the Nonqualified Stock Option is granted, such Option may be exercised only by the Participant. No Participant shall hypothecate, or grant a security interest in, any Option granted under this Plan to the Participant, and no right or interest of a Participant in any such Option shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant.

F. Vesting and Termination of Continuous Service. Except as otherwise provided in a Stock Option Agreement and consented to by the Committee, the following rules shall apply:

EXHIBIT 10.1

(i) Options will vest as provided in the Stock Option Agreement. An Option will be exercisable only to the extent that it is vested on the date of exercise. Vesting of an Option will cease on the date of the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service and the Option will be exercisable only to the extent the Option has vested on the date of termination of Continuous Service.

(ii) If the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service is for reason of death or Disability, the right to exercise the Option (to the extent vested) will expire on the earlier of (a) one (1) year after the date of the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service, or (b) the expiration date under the terms of the Stock Option Agreement. Until the expiration date, the Participant or, in the event of the Participant’s death (including death after termination of Continuous Service but before the right to exercise the Option expires) the Participant’s heirs, legatees or legal representative may exercise the Option, except to the extent the Option was previously transferred pursuant to Section 6(E) of this Plan.

(iii) If the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service is an involuntary termination without Cause or a voluntary termination (other than a voluntary termination described in Section 6(F)(iv)) below), the right to exercise the Option (to the extent that it is vested) will expire on the earlier of (a) three (3) months after the date of the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service, or (b) the expiration date under the terms of the Stock Option Agreement. If the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service is an involuntary termination without Cause or a voluntary termination (other than a voluntary termination described in Section 6(F)(iv) below) and the Participant dies after his or her termination of Continuous Service but before the right to exercise the Option has expired, the right to exercise the Option (to the extent vested) shall expire on the earlier of (c) one (1) year after the date of the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service or (d) the date the Option expires under the terms of the Stock Option Agreement, and, until expiration, the Participant’s heirs, legatees or legal representative may exercise the Option, except to the extent the Option was previously transferred pursuant to Section 6(E) of this Plan.

(iv) If the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service is for Cause or is a voluntary termination at any time after an event which would be grounds for termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service for Cause, the right to exercise the Option shall expire as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service.

G. Exercise. An Option, if exercisable, shall be exercised by completion, execution and delivery of notice (written or electronic) to the Corporation of the Option exercise which states (i) the Option holder’s intent to exercise the Option, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised, (iii) such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Corporation and (iv) the method for satisfying any applicable tax withholding as provided in Section 10 of this Plan. Such notice of exercise shall be provided on such form or by such method as the Committee may designate, and payment of the exercise price shall be made in accordance with Section 6(H) of this Plan. Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement, an Option may be exercised to the extent vested in whole at any time or in part from time to time at such times and in compliance with such requirements as the Committee shall determine. A partial exercise of an Option shall not affect the right to exercise the Option from time to time in accordance with this Plan and the

EXHIBIT 10.1

applicable Stock Option Agreement with respect to the remaining shares subject to the Option. At the discretion of the Committee, any Option relating only to fractional shares of Common Stock shall be deemed terminated and forfeited by the Participant, shall be null and void and shall not be exercised with respect to such fractional shares, and no further consideration shall be payable or issuable on account of such Option including, without limitation, cash.

H. Payment. Unless otherwise provided by the Stock Option Agreement, and except as otherwise determined by the Committee, the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option may consist of any combination of cash, personal check, wire transfer or:

(i) nonforfeitable, unrestricted shares of Common Stock owned by the Option holder at the time of exercise

(ii) net exercise, in which case the Corporation will not require a payment of the full exercise price from the Option holder but will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise by the number of whole shares of Common Stock that has an aggregate Fair Market Value that equal to the aggregate exercise price for the portion of the Option exercised;

(iii) payment of the exercise price by a broker-dealer or by the Option holder with cash advanced by the broker-dealer if the exercise notice is accompanied by the Option holder’s written (or electronic) irrevocable instructions to deliver the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option to the broker-dealer; or

(iv) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If Common Stock is used to pay all or part of the exercise price, the sum of the cash or cash equivalent and the Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of exercise) of the shares surrendered must not be less than the exercise price of the shares for which the Option is being exercised.

On or after the date any Option other than an Incentive Stock Option is granted, the Committee may determine that payment of the exercise price may also be made in whole or part in the form of Restricted Stock or other Common Stock that is subject to a risk of forfeiture or restrictions on transfer. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, whenever the exercise price is paid in whole or in part in accordance with this Section 6(H)(ii), the Stock received by the Participant upon such exercise shall be subject to the same risks of forfeiture or restrictions on transfer as those that applied to the consideration surrendered by the Participant, provided that such risks of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer shall apply only to the same number of shares received by the Participant as applied to the forfeitable or restricted shares surrendered by the Participant.

On or after the date any Option is granted, the Committee may provide for the automatic grant to the Participant of a reload Option in the event that the Participant surrenders shares in satisfaction of the exercise price upon the exercise of an Option as authorized under this Section 6(H). Each reload Option shall pertain to a number of shares equal to the number of shares utilized by the Participant to exercise the

EXHIBIT 10.1

original Option, shall have an exercise price equal to Fair Market Value on the date that the reload Option is granted and shall expire on the stated exercise date of the original Option.

I. No Repricing of Options. The Committee may not without the approval of the stockholders of the Corporation lower the exercise price of an outstanding Option, whether by amending the exercise price of the outstanding Option or through cancellation of the outstanding Option and reissuance of a replacement or substitute Option; provided that stockholder approval shall not be required in connection with actions taken pursuant to Section 4(B) or for adjustments made in connection with a capitalization event described in Section 9(B) in order to prevent enlargement, dilution or diminishment of rights.

J. Stockholder Rights. No Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to shares subject to an Option until the date of exercise of such Option and the certificate for shares of Common Stock to be received on exercise of such Option has been issued by the Corporation (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Corporation or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Corporation).

K. Disposition. A Participant shall notify the Corporation of any sale or other disposition of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option if such sale or disposition occurs (i) within two years of the grant of an Option or (ii) within one year of the issuance of the Common Stock to the Participant. Such notice shall be in writing and directed to the Secretary of the Corporation.

7. STOCK AWARDS

A. Restricted Stock Awards. Each Stock Award Agreement for a Restricted Stock Award shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of the Stock Award Agreements for Restricted Stock may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Restricted Stock Awards need not be identical, but each Restricted Stock Award shall include (through incorporation of the provisions hereof by references in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions.

(i) Purchase Price. The Committee may establish a purchase price for Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award.

(ii) Consideration. The purchase price, if any, of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award shall be paid either: (a) in cash at the time of purchase, or (b) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee in its discretion.

(iii) Vesting. Shares of Common Stock acquired under a Restricted Stock Award may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of the Corporation in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Committee. Any grant or the vesting thereon may be further conditioned upon the attainment of Performance Objectives established by the Committee in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8 of this Plan regarding Performance Shares and Performance Units.

(iv) Participant’s Termination of Service or Failure of Vesting. In the event of a Participant’s termination of Continuous Service before vesting or other failure of the Common Stock to vest, then,

EXHIBIT 10.1

unless otherwise provided in the Stock Award Agreement, the Participant shall forfeit shares of Common Stock held by a Participant under the terms of a Restricted Stock Award which have not vested and for which no purchase price was paid by the Participant and the Corporation may repurchase or otherwise reacquire (including by way of forfeiture by the Participant) any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant which have not vested under the terms of the Stock Award Agreement for such Restricted Stock Award and for which a purchase price was paid by the Participant at such purchase price.

(v) Transferability. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under a Restricted Stock Award shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Stock Award Agreement for such Restricted Stock Award, as the Committee shall determine in its discretion, so long as Common Stock granted under the Restricted Stock Award remains subject to the terms of the Stock Award Agreement.

(vi) Additional Rights. Any grant may require that any or all dividends or other distributions paid on the shares acquired under a Restricted Stock Award during the period of such restrictions be automatically sequestered and reinvested on an immediate or deferred basis in additional shares of Common Stock which may be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying Award or such other restrictions as the Committee shall determine. Unless provided otherwise in the Stock Award Agreement, Participants holding shares of Common Stock subject to restrictions under a Stock Award Agreement may exercise full voting rights with respect to the shares.

B. Deferred Shares. The Committee may authorize grants of Deferred Shares to Participants upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in accordance with the following provisions, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable thereto:

(i) Each grant shall constitute the agreement by the Corporation to issue or transfer shares of Common Stock to the Participant in the future in consideration of the performance of services, subject to the fulfillment during the Deferral Period of such conditions as the Committee may specify.

(ii) Each grant may be made without additional consideration from the Participant or in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

(iii) Each grant shall provide that the Deferred Shares covered thereby shall be subject to a Deferral Period, which shall be fixed by the Committee on the date of grant, and any grant or sale may provide for the earlier termination of such period in the event of a change in control of the Corporation or other similar transaction or event.

(iv) During the Deferral Period, the Participant shall not have any right to transfer any rights under the subject Award, shall not have any rights of ownership in the Deferred Shares and shall not have any right to vote such shares, but the Committee may on or after the date of grant, authorize the payment of dividend or other distribution equivalents on such shares in cash or additional shares on a current, deferred or contingent basis.

EXHIBIT 10.1

(v) Any grant or the vesting thereof may be further conditioned upon the attainment of Performance Objectives established by the Committee in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8 of this Plan regarding Performance Shares and Performance Units.

(vi) Each grant shall be evidenced by an agreement delivered to and accepted by the Participant and containing such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan. The terms and conditions of the Stock Award Agreements for Deferred Shares may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate grants of Deferred Shares need not be identical.

8. PERFORMANCE SHARES AND PERFORMANCE UNITS.

The Committee may also authorize grants of Performance Shares and Performance Units, which shall become payable to the Participant upon the achievement of specified Performance Objectives, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in accordance with the following provisions:

A. Each grant shall specify the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units to which it pertains.

B. The Performance Period with respect to each Performance Share or Performance Unit shall commence on the date established by the Committee and may be subject to earlier termination in the event of a change in control of the Corporation or other similar transaction or event.

C. Each grant shall specify the Performance Objectives that are to be achieved by the Participant.

D. Each grant may specify in respect of the specified Performance Objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement below which no payment will be made and may set forth a formula for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above such minimum acceptable level but falls short of the maximum achievement of the specified Performance Objectives.

E. Each grant shall specify the time and manner of payment of Performance Shares or Performance Units that shall have been earned, and any grant may specify that any such amount may be paid by the Corporation in cash, shares of Common Stock or any combination thereof and may either grant to the Participant or reserve to the Committee the right to elect among those alternatives.

F. Any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units may specify that the amount payable with respect thereto may not exceed a maximum specified by the Committee on the date of grant.

G. During the Performance Period, the Participant shall not have any right to transfer any rights under the subject Award, shall not have any rights of ownership in any Performance Shares and shall not have any right to vote such shares. Any grant of Performance Shares may provide for the payment to the Participant of dividend or other distribution equivalents thereon in cash or additional shares of Common Stock on a current, deferred or contingent basis.

H. Each grant shall be evidenced by an agreement that shall be delivered to and accepted by the Participant, which shall state that the Performance Shares or Performance Units are subject to all of the

EXHIBIT 10.1

terms and conditions of this Plan and such other terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with this Plan. The terms and conditions of the Performance Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate grants of Performance Shares and Performance Units need not be identical.

9. CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

A. No Limitations of Rights. The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

B. Changes in Capitalization. If the Corporation shall effect (i) any stock dividend, stock split, subdivision or consolidation of shares, recapitalization or other capital readjustment, (ii) any merger, consolidation, separation (including a spin-off or split-up), reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets (other than ordinary dividends or distributions) of the Corporation without receiving consideration therefore in money, services or property, or (iii) any other corporate transaction having a similar effect, then (a) the number, class, and per share price or base amount of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Awards shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee as it in good faith determines is required in order to prevent enlargement, dilution, or diminishment of rights, (b) the number and class of shares of Common Stock then reserved for issuance under this Plan and the maximum number of shares for which Awards may be granted to a Participant during a specified time period shall be adjusted as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such transaction, and (c) the Committee shall make such modifications to the Performance Objectives for each outstanding Award as the Committee determines are appropriate in accordance with Section 2, “Performance Objectives.” The conversion of convertible securities of the Corporation shall not be treated as effected “without receiving consideration.” The Committee shall make such adjustments, and its determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive.

C. Merger, Consolidation or Asset Sale. If the Corporation is merged or consolidated with another entity or sells or otherwise disposes of substantially all of its assets to another entity while Awards remain outstanding under this Plan, unless provisions are made in connection with such transaction for the continuance of this Plan and/or the assumption or substitution of such Awards with new awards covering the stock of the successor entity, or parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices, then (i) all outstanding Options which have not been continued, assumed or for which a substituted award has not been granted shall become exercisable immediately prior to and terminate immediately as of the effective date of any such merger, consolidation or sale, (ii) the restrictions applicable to all outstanding Restricted Stock Awards and grants of Deferred Shares shall lapse and such awards shall be settled in full immediately prior to the effective date of any such merger, consolidation or sale, and (iii) all Performance Shares and Performance Units shall become vested at the target performance level (as specified by the Committee) and shall be settled

EXHIBIT 10.1

immediately prior to the effective date of any such merger, consolidation or sale, unless such Performance Awards are subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

D. Limitation on Adjustment. Except as previously expressly provided, neither the issuance by the Corporation of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Corporation convertible into such shares or other securities, nor the increase or decrease of the number of authorized shares of stock, nor the addition or deletion of classes of stock, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number, class or price of shares of Common Stock then subject to outstanding Awards.

10. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES

The Corporation or an Affiliate shall have the right, before any certificate for any Common Stock is delivered (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Corporation or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Corporation), to deduct or withhold from any payment owed to a Participant any amount that is necessary in order to satisfy any withholding requirement that the Corporation or any Affiliate in good faith believes is imposed upon it in connection with federal, state, local or foreign taxes, including transfer taxes, as a result of the issuance of, lapse of restrictions on, or any other income or tax event with respect to, such Common Stock or Award, or otherwise require such Participant to make provision for payment of any such withholding amount. Subject to such conditions as may be established by the Committee, the Committee may permit a Participant to (i) have Common Stock otherwise issuable under an Award withheld calculated using maximum applicable tax rates or such other rates as may be required under applicable accounting rules, (ii) tender back to the Corporation shares of Common Stock received pursuant to an Award to the extent necessary to comply with maximum statutory withholding rate requirements, (iii) deliver to the Corporation previously acquired Common Stock, (iv) have funds withheld from payments of wages, salary or other cash compensation due the Participant, or (v) pay the Corporation or its Affiliate in cash, in order to satisfy part or all of the obligations for any taxes required to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid by the Corporation or its Affiliate with respect to the Award.

11. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND APPROVAL OF REGULATORY BODIES

A. General Requirements. No Option shall be exercisable, no Award shall be granted, no Common Stock shall be issued, no certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be delivered (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Corporation or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Corporation), and no payment shall be made under this Plan except in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations (including, without limitation, withholding tax requirements), any listing agreement to which the Corporation is a party, and the rules of all stock exchanges or quotation systems on which the Corporation’s shares may be listed. The Corporation shall have the right to rely on an opinion of its counsel as to such compliance. Any share certificate issued to evidence Common Stock issued in connection with an Award may bear such legends and statements as the Committee may deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. No Option shall be exercisable, no Award shall be granted, no Common Stock shall be issued, no certificate

EXHIBIT 10.1

for shares shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under this Plan until the Corporation has obtained such consent or approval as the Committee may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters.

B. Participant Representations. The Committee may require that a Participant, as a condition to receipt or exercise of a particular Award, execute and deliver to the Corporation a written statement, in form satisfactory to the Committee, in which the Participant represents and warrants that the shares are being acquired for such person’s own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof. The Participant shall, at the request of the Committee, be required to represent and warrant in writing that any subsequent resale or distribution of shares of Common Stock by the Participant shall be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption the Participant shall, prior to any offer of sale or sale of such shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Corporation, as to the application of such exemption thereto.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS

A. Effect on Employment and Service. Neither the adoption of this Plan, its operation, nor any documents describing or referring to this Plan (or any part thereof) shall (i) confer upon any individual any right to continue in the employ or service of the Corporation or an Affiliate, (ii) in any way affect any right and power of the Corporation or an Affiliate to change an individual’s duties or terminate the employment or service of any individual at any time with or without assigning a reason therefor, or (iii) except to the extent the Committee grants an Award to such individual, confer on any individual the right to participate in the benefits of this Plan.

B. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to this Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

C. Unfunded Plan. The Plan, insofar as it provides for grants, shall be unfunded, and the Corporation shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by grants under this Plan. Any liability of the Corporation to any person with respect to any grant under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created pursuant to this Plan. No such obligation of the Corporation shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Corporation,

D. Further Restrictions on Transfer. Any Award made under this Plan may expressly provide that all or any part of the shares of Common Stock that are: (i) to be issued or transferred by the Corporation upon the exercise of an Option, upon termination of the Deferral Period applicable to Deferred Shares, or upon payment under any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units, or (ii) no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in Section 7(A) of this Plan, shall be subject to further restrictions on transfer.

EXHIBIT 10.1

E. Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional shares pursuant to this Plan. The Committee may provide for elimination of fractional shares or the settlement of such fractional shares in cash.

F. Rules of Construction. Headings are given to the Sections of this Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference, and shall not be used in interpreting, construing or enforcing any provision hereof. The reference to any statute, regulation, or other provision of law shall be construed to refer to any amendment to or successor of such provision of law.

G. Choice of Law. The Plan and all Stock Option Agreements, Stock Award Agreements and Performance Award Agreements entered into under this Plan (except to the extent that any such Stock Option Agreement, Stock Award Agreement or Performance Award Agreement otherwise provides) shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Corporation excluding (to the greatest extent permissible by law) any rule of law that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Corporation.

13. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

The Board may amend or terminate this Plan from time to time; provided, however, that with respect to any amendment (i) that increases the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under this Plan, (ii) that changes the class of employees eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options or (iii) for which stockholder approval is required by the terms of any applicable law, regulation, or rule, including, without limitation, any applicable stock exchange or NASDAQ rules, each such amendment shall be subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Corporation within twelve (12) months of the date such amendment is adopted by the Board. The Committee may also amend or terminate this Plan from time to time so long as such action complies with applicable law, except that any Plan amendment to be presented to the stockholders for approval shall first be approved by the Board. Except as specifically permitted by a provision of this Plan (other than Section 3(B)), a Stock Option Agreement, a Stock Award Agreement or a Performance Award Agreement or as required to comply with applicable law, regulation or rule, no amendment to this Plan or a Stock Option Agreement, Stock Award Agreement or Performance Award Agreement shall, without a Participant’s consent, adversely affect any rights of such Participant under any Award outstanding at the time such amendment is made; provided, however, that an amendment that may cause an Incentive Stock Option to become a Nonqualified Stock Option, and any amendment that is required to comply with the rules applicable to Incentive Stock Options, shall not be treated as adversely affecting the rights of the Participant.

14. CODE SECTION 409A

It is intended that the Options awarded pursuant to Section 6 and the Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to Section 7(A) not constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. It is further intended that the Deferred Shares awarded pursuant to Section 7(B) and the Performance Shares and Performance Units awarded pursuant to Section 8 not constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code or otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder in all material respects. The Plan shall be interpreted for all purposes and operated to

EXHIBIT 10.1

the extent necessary in order to comply with the intent expressed in this Section 14. No payment that constitutes deferred compensation that would otherwise be made under the Plan or a Stock Award Agreement upon a termination of service will be made or provided unless and until such termination is also a separation from service as defined in Section 409A.] If a Participant is a "specified employee" as defined in Section 409A, to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of any additional tax under Section 409A, the commencement of any payments or benefits shall be delayed to the extent required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i). [The Corporation shall have the authority, but not the obligation, to take such actions and make such changes to the Plan or Stock Award Agreement as the Committee deems necessary to comply with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be required to assume any increased economic burden in connection therewith. Although the Corporation intends to administer the Plan so that it will comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Corporation does not represent or warrant that the Plan will comply with Section 409A of the Code or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. Neither the Corporation nor any of its Affiliates, nor its or their respective directors, officers, employees, or advisers, shall be liable to any Participant (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Participant) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Participant might owe as a result of participation in the Plan.

15. EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF PLAN

A. The Plan became effective upon adoption by the Board, subject to approval within twelve (12) months by the stockholders of the Corporation holding a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon. Unless and until the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Corporation, no Option may be exercised, and no shares of Common Stock may be issued under this Plan. In the event that the stockholders of the Corporation shall not approve this Plan within such twelve (12) month period, this Plan and any previously granted Award shall terminate.

B. Unless previously terminated, this Plan will terminate ten (10) years after the date this Plan is adopted by the Board, except that Awards that are granted under this Plan prior to its termination will continue to be administered under the terms of this Plan until the Awards terminate or are exercised.
