            WHEREAS, Shelter has requested the City to make it a loan in the principal amount of $725,000.00, the proceeds of which will be used exclusively by Shelter to repay the Peoples Bank loan. After the payment, the balance of City’s loan of $725,000.00 will be used by Shelter to acquire roof repairs to its main building which amount shall not exceed $_____________.

 

            NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree, each with the other, that City will loan to Shelter an amount not to exceed $725,000.00, in consideration of and subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

            1.         The recitals stated above are by reference incorporated herein and made a part of the Agreement.

 

            2.         The loan shall be made in two separate checks to be issued by City, to-wit:  One check made payable jointly to the order of Peoples Bank and Shelter in the amount of $_____________, in full payment of existing construction loan issued by said bank; a second check made payable jointly to the order of Shelter and the company which shall be the lowest responsible bidder for the making of the roof repairs to Shelters’ main building, said amount not to exceed $______________.

 

            3.         In consideration of the loan by City to Shelter, Shelter agrees to repay said loan in the following manner, to-wit:

 

a.         Shelter shall pay to the City the sum of $225,000.00 on or before October 31, 2014, which said amount shall have been interest free if fully and timely paid.  Should Shelter fail to timely re-pay the full amount of $225,000.00, said sum shall bear and draw interest at the rate of 2% per annum from the original loan date until principal and interest are fully paid, all of which shall be in addition to the regular monthly payments of principal and interest set forth in numbered paragraph 4 hereof.

                       

            b.         As an express condition to the making of the loan by City to Shelter, Shelter understands and agrees that, until the full amount of principal and interest due under the Agreement is paid in full, Shelter shall not sell or lease, or encumber, or seek to encumber, by way of a mortgage or any other method, that certain real estate or improvements thereto or appurtenances thereon, situated in Douglas County, Kansas, commonly known and referred to as 3701 Franklin Park Circle, Lawrence, Kansas, to-wit:

 

LOT 1, FRANKLIN PARK ADDITION NO. 2, AN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF LAWRENCE, DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS,

 

without having first obtained approval therefor from City in a writing duly made, executed, and acknowledged by the appropriate City official(s).

 

            4.         Other than the $225,000.00 to be paid by Shelter by October 31, 2014, Shelter shall pay to City the principal amount of $500,000.00, together with interest thereon at the rate of 2% per annum on the unpaid principal amount existing from time to time, in 180 equal monthly payments of $1,848.00 each, commencing January 10, 2014, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter, until December 10, 2028, at which time the entire unpaid balance of principal and interest on the original  principal loan amount of $725,000.00, shall be paid in a lump sum to City. It is expressly understood and agreed that the $1,848.00 monthly payments are based on a payment over 30 years, rather than 15 years.

 

            5.         In the event Shelter shall fail to fully and timely make any payment of principal or interest when due by the terms hereof, City shall have the right to withhold said amount of any allocations of public funding money made or to be made by City for the benefit of Shelter.  The amount of such withholding(s) shall first be applied to accrued and unpaid interest with the balance remaining, if any, to be applied to the existing principal balance.

 

            6.         Shelter shall have the right, without penalty, to accelerate full and final payment of principal and interest due City hereunder.

 

            7.         The District Court of Douglas County, Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, shall be the sole court of jurisdiction to hear unresolved legal disputes which may arise between the parties; and that arbitration is not a means by which disputes can or will be resolved.

 

            8.         It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that the making of loan by City to Shelter does not in any manner, create a relationship, legal or otherwise, between the parties other than that of creditor and debtor.

 

            9.         The parties represent, each to the other, that the Agreement is being entered into and executed with the express authority of their respective governing bodies, and will be filed of record in the office of the register of deeds, Douglas County, Kansas.
