PROMISE TO PAY. Hancock Park Corporate Income, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Borrower"), promises to pay to Pacific Western Bank ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Ten Million & 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding in relation to that certain loan made to Borrower pursuant to that certain Business Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Borrower and Lender (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance, calculated as described in the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using the interest rate set forth in the “VARIABLE INTEREST RATE” paragraph. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance. The interest rate may change under the terms and conditions of the "INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT" section.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on September 12, 2019. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning October 31, 2018, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the last business day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any unpaid collection costs; and then to any late charges. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.    The interest rate on the loan evidenced hereunder is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (the “Index”). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will provide Borrower with the current index rate upon Borrower’s request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 5.000% per annum. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this loan will be calculated as described in the “INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD” paragraph using a rate of 0.750 percentage points over the Index, adjusted as necessary for any minimum and maximum rate limitations described below, resulting in an initial rate of 5.750%. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this loan be less than 5.75% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.
INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.
PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of an Event of Default), except as otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Pacific Western Bank, Los Angeles Real Estate and Construction, 9701 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 700, Beverly Hills, CA 90212.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $10.00, whichever is greater.
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence, and solely during the continuance, of an Event of Default, the interest rate on this Note shall, if permitted under applicable law, immediately increase by 5.000 percentage points; provided that in the case of an Event of Default with respect to the payment of interest, such increase in the interest rate shall not apply until such payment of interest is 10 days or more late.
LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, Lender may, in accordance with the Loan Agreement and the Security Agreements, declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Security Agreements, Borrower will pay that amount.
ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses , whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees, expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals. Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.
