(g) there is entered by any court or arbitration panel against the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries a final non-appealable
monetary judgment, decree or award not covered by insurance or indemnification, for the payment of money which exceeds singly or in the aggregate with other such judgments, $5,000,000, and if, within sixty days after the entry, issue or levy

would permit acceleration of such Indebtedness, or which, as a result of a failure to comply with the terms thereof, would make such Indebtedness otherwise due and payable, and which event or condition has not been cured within any applicable cure
period or waived in writing prior to any declaration of an Event of Default or acceleration of the Loans hereunder; or (iii) an acceleration of any Senior Debt; or 

(i) Any Note or any material provision thereof, shall at any time and for any reason (other than as expressly permitted hereunder or

and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. A delay or omission by the Required Noteholders or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right
or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative.

failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Required 

  
 23 








 
Noteholders or any Holder, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege

privileges provided by law.

this Note, and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but shall suffer

 ARTICLE 12 

SUBORDINATION 

Section 12.01 Agreement to Subordinate. If requested by a holder of Senior Debt, the Holder agrees to subordinate the Indebtedness and
other obligations evidenced by this Note pursuant to the terms and conditions of a subordination agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. 

ARTICLE 13 
 SAVINGS
CLAUSE 
 In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or
otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 ARTICLE 14 

ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS 

This Note constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the Issuer and the Holder with respect to the subject hereof.
Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Issuer and the Required Noteholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) any amendment or waiver of any
provision or term of this Note is proposed at any time after the dissolution of CP IV and/or the distribution of Notes to the members of CP IV and (y) such amendment or waiver would reduce the principal of, or rate of interest on, any Note or
postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal and/or interest on any Note, such amendment or waiver shall 

  
 24 








 
require the written consent of a majority in interest of all Holders of Notes other than CP IV and its Affiliates (determined by reference to the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by such
other Holders). 
 ARTICLE 15 

TRANSFER; ASSIGNMENT, ETC. 

Prior to an Initial Public Offering this Note shall not be assignable by Holder except with prior consent of a Board Majority of the Minority
(as such term is defined in the Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and after an Initial Public Offering there shall be no such restriction on assignment. Subject to the foregoing
sentence, Holder may exchange any Note for Notes of different denominations, by surrendering such Note to the Issuer together with written instructions for the issuance of one or more new Notes specifying the respective principal amounts of each new
Note. Subject to any restrictions under applicable law, with the prior written consent of the Required Noteholders, a Holder may transfer a Note to a new Holder, by surrendering such Note to the Issuer duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by a
duly executed instrument of transfer naming the new Holder, together with written instructions for the issuance of one or more new Notes specifying the respective principal amounts of each new Note and the name of each new Holder and each address
therefor. In each case, the Issuer shall simultaneously deliver to such Holder or its designee such new Notes and shall mark the surrendered Notes as canceled. In lieu of the foregoing procedures, a Holder may, with the prior written consent of the
Required Note Holders, assign a Note (in whole but not in part) to a new Holder by sending written notice to the Issuer of such assignment specifying the new Holder’s name and address; in such case, the Issuer shall promptly acknowledge such
assignment in writing to both the old and new Holder. The Issuer shall not be required to recognize any subsequent Holder of a Note unless and until the Issuer has received reasonable assurance that all applicable transfer taxes have been paid. 

ARTICLE 16 
 NO
WAIVER 
 No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy or power hereby
granted to the Holder or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Holder from time to time.

fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees

“Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, actions, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (as such fees and expenses are incurred) and demands by any party, including the costs of
investigating and defending such claims, whether or not the Issuer, any Subsidiary thereof or the Person seeking indemnification is the prevailing party arising out of (i) the Notes or otherwise under this agreement, or any transaction contemplated
hereby or thereby, (ii) any claims against the Noteholders, or any of them, by any shareholder or other investor in or lender to the Issuer or any Subsidiary thereof, by any brokers or finders or investment advisers or investment bankers retained by
