Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Frisco Square I, LLC (Land), Frisco Square II, LLC, Frisco Square III, LLC and Frisco Square IV, LLC,   the special purpose entity owners of Frisco Square, a mixed use development project located in Frisco, Texas  and an indirect subsidiary of Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc. (which may be referred to herein as the “Registrant,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), are currently the borrowers under a Loan Agreement dated July 30, 2008 (“Frisco Square Loan”) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and lender and with another  lending institution that is party to the Frisco Square Loan.
 
On July 30, 2008, we entered into the Frisco Square Loan.  The Frisco Square Loan consists of five separate tranches with varying payment terms and bears interest at annual rates based on LIBOR plus applicable margins ranging from 3.5% to 4.5%.  The Frisco Square Loan is secured by Frisco Square and matured on July 28, 2011.  Effective July 28, 2011, we reached an agreement with the lenders to extend the maturity date of the Frisco Square Loan to August 28, 2011.
 
On August 31, 2011, effective as of August 28, 2011, we entered into a Modification and Extension  Agreement (the “Frisco Square Loan Extension”) with the lenders to extend the maturity date of the Frisco Square Loan to January 28, 2012.  The interest rates for the five separate tranches within the Frisco Square Loan Extension remain unchanged from the terms of the Frisco Square Loan, subject to the lender condition that if less than $10 million of lender approved sales contracts are in place by October 28, 2011, the interest rates for each tranche within the Frisco Square Loan Extension will increase by 50 basis points.  The Frisco Square Loan Extension requires that a principal payment of $0.2 million be made each month and that all excess cash flow after interest and required amortization is placed into a restricted deposit account and held as additional collateral.  The Frisco Square Loan Extension may be extended for an additional six months, upon meeting certain lender requirements.  The Frisco Square Loan Extension required a principal paydown on the Frisco Square Loan of approximately $0.5 million.  As of August 31, 2011, approximately $45 million was outstanding under the Frisco Square Loan after the lender required principal paydown.  As a result of the Frisco Square Loan Extension, we have unconditionally guaranteed payment of the Frisco Square Loan.  Previously, we had unconditionally guaranteed the land loan tranche and partially guaranteed the other tranches of the Frisco Square Loan.
 
All other material terms of the Frisco Square Loan Extension are substantially the same as that of the Frisco Square Loan.
 
Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
The information required by Item 2.03 related to modifications of the Frisco Square Loan Extension described above under Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference herein.
