Incorporation of Recitals. The foregoing recitals are incorporated into this agreement. 2. Borrower's Promise to Pay. In return for the loan the Borrower has received from the City Borrower promises to repay to the City in full the amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (this amount is called the "Principal"), plus any interest and charges thereon, in installments as provided for in this agreement. Borrower will make payments under this agreement in the form of United States dollars by check. 3. Interest. Interest will be charged on unpaid Principal until the full amount of Principal has been paid. Borrower will pay interest at a yearly rate of zero percent (0%) until Maturity Date (hereinafter defined). The interest rate required by this Section 3 is the interest rate Borrower will pay before any default. The interest rate Borrower will pay after default is described in Section 10 of this agreement. 4. Payments. A. Time and Place of Payments. Borrower will pay the Principal and any interest to the City by making payments to the City in six (6) consecutive monthly installments. Borrower will make monthly installments to the City on the first day of each month beginning on the first to occur of the first of the month of the month after the State of Illinois begins making payments to the Borrower or September 1, 2017. Borrower will make these payments every month until Borrower has paid all of the Principal and interest and any other charges described below that it may owe to the City. For the purposes of clarification and example, in the event the State of Illinois begins making payments to the Borrower in November of 2016, then Borrower will be required to begin making monthly payments to the City on December 1, 2016, and will continue to make payments to the City for six (6) consecutive months until the Borrower has paid all of the principal and interest and any other charges described in this agreement that it may owe to the City. For the purposes of further clarification and example, if the State of Illinois does not begin making payments to the Borrower prior to September 1, 2017, then Borrower will begin making payments to the City on September 1, 2017, and will continue to make monthly payments to the City for six (6) consecutive months until the Borrower has paid all of the principal and interest and any other charges described in this agreement that it may owe to the City. Each monthly payment will be applied as of its scheduled due date and will be applied to interest before Principal. If on the earlier of six(6) months after the first of the month the month after the State of Illinois begins making payment to the Borrower or February 10, 2018, , Borrower still owes amounts under this loan agreement, Borrower will pay those amounts in full on that date, which is called the "Maturity Date". Borrower will make monthly payments to the City of Elgin at 150 Dexter Court, Elgin, Illinois 60120, or at a different place if required by the City. B. Amount of Monthly Payments. The amount of Borrower's first five monthly payments to the City for Principal shall each be in the amount of Thirty Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three Dollars and 33/100 Dollars ($33,333.33). The amount of Borrower's six monthly installment payment to the City for Principal shall be in the amount of Thirty Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three and 35/100 Dollars($33,333.35). 5. Borrower's Right to Prepay. Borrower has the right to make payments of Principal at any time before they are due. A payment of Principal only is known as a "Prepayment". When Borrower makes a Prepayment, it will tell the City in writing that it is doing so. Borrower may not designate a payment as a Prepayment if it has not made all monthly payments due under this agreement. Borrower may make a full Prepayment or partial Prepayment without paying a Prepayment charge. The City will use Borrower's Prepayment to reduce the amount of Principal that it owes under this agreement. However, the City may apply Borrower's Prepayment to the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Prepayment amount, before applying Borrower's Prepayment to reduce the outstanding Principal amount. If Borrower makes a partial Prepayment, there will be no changes in the due dates of Borrower monthly payment unless the City agrees in writing to those changes. 6. Loan Charges. If a law, which applies to this agreement and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally interpreted so that the interest or other loan charges collected -2 - or to be collected in connection with this loan agreement exceed the permitted limits, then: (a) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (b) any sums already collected from Borrower which exceed permitted limits will be refunded to Borrower. The City may choose to make this refund by reducing the Principal Borrower owes under this agreement or by making a direct payment to Borrower. If a refund reduces Principal,the reduction will be treated as a partial Prepayment. 7. Borrower's Failure to Pay as Required. A. Late Charge for Overdue Payments. If the City does not receive the full amount of any monthly payment by the end of five calendar days after the date it is due, Borrower will pay a late charge to the City. The amount of the late charge will be 5% of the overdue payment of Principal and interest. The Borrower will pay this late charge promptly but only once on each late payment. B. Default. If the Borrower does not pay the full amount of each monthly payment on the date it is due, the Borrower will be in default. C. Notice of Default. If the Borrower is in default, the City may send the Borrower a written notice telling the Borrower that if it does not pay the overdue amount by a certain date, the City may require the Borrower to pay immediately the full amount of Principal which has not been paid and all the interest that Borrower owes on that amount. That date must be at least 30 days after the date on which the notices are mailed to Borrower or delivered by other means. D. No Waiver By City. Even if, at a time when the Borrower is in default, the City does not require the Borrower to pay immediately in full as described above, the City will still have the right to do so if the Borrower is in default at a later time. E. Payment of the City's Cost and Expenses. If the City has required the Borrower to pay immediately in full as described above, the City will have the right to be paid back by the Borrower for all its costs and expenses in enforcing this agreement to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Those expenses include, for example, reasonable attorney's fees. 8. Use of Loan Funds. Borrower shall use the loan funds provided by the City solely and only for services provided by Borrower to Elgin residents with developmental disabilities or mental illnesses. 9. Default Interest Rate. If the City has required the Borrower to pay immediately in full as described in this agreement, then thereafter interest will be charged on the unpaid balance due to the City at the annual rate of 9%until the full amount of the Principal, interest and any other monies due to the City have been repaid to the City in full. 10. Books and Records. Borrower will keep and maintain or will cause to be kept and maintained on a fiscal year basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices using full accrual accounting proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of - 3 - the financial affairs of Borrower and all items of income and expense in connection with the operation of Borrower. The City shall have the right, at no cost to the City, from time-to-time upon reasonable notice to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower or other person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make copies and extracts thereof as the City shall desire. At the conclusion of each fiscal year of the Borrower the Borrower shall provide to the City at no cost to the City a copy of an audited financial statement on all of the financial affairs of the Borrower. 11.
