PROMISE TO PAY. OFS Capital Corporation, a Delaware 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 Fifteen Million & 00/100 Dollars ($15,000,000.00) 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 an interest rate of 4.750%. 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 November 6, 2017. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning November 30, 2015, 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.
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, 1880 Century Park East, Suite #800, Los Angeles, CA 90067.
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.
GOVERNING LAW. This Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of California.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE. This Note shall be subject to the Waiver of Jury Trial and Judicial Reference provisions of the Loan Agreement which are incorporated herein by this reference.
CHOICE OF VENUE. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Los Angeles County, State of California.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts.
