 (REVERSE OF SECURITY) 

CIRCOR INTERNATIONAL, INC. 

[Title of Security] 
 1. Indenture 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidence of indebtedness (hereinafter called the
“Securities”) of the Issuer of the series hereinafter specified, which series is initially limited in aggregate principal amount to
[$]                    , all of such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of
                ,              (the “Indenture”) between the Issuer and
                     as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise
indicated. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such
terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Security and the terms of the
Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control. 
 This Security is one of a series of Securities designated pursuant to the Indenture
[and a [Supplemental Indenture] dated             ,             , issued pursuant to Section 2.01 and
Section 2.03 thereof (the “Supplemental Indenture”)] as                     . The Securities are general unsecured obligations
of the Issuer. The Issuer may, subject to the provisions of the Indenture and applicable law, issue additional Securities of any series under the Indenture. 

2. Method of Payment. 
 The Issuer shall pay
interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of
such Security subsequent to such Interest Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Securities to the Trustee to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall pay Principal and interest in money of [the United
States] that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. [However, the payments of interest, and any portion of the Principal (other than interest payable at maturity or on any redemption or repayment date or
the final payment of Principal) shall be made by the Paying Agent, upon receipt from the Issuer of immediately available funds by __________ [a./p.m.], New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed to between the Issuer and the
Paying Agent or the Issuer), directly to a Holder (by Federal funds wire transfer or otherwise) if the Holder has delivered written instructions to the Trustee 15 days prior to such payment date requesting that such payment will be so made and
designating the bank account to which such payments shall be so made and in the case of payments of principal surrenders the same to the Trustee in exchange for a Security or Securities aggregating the same principal amount as the unredeemed
principal amount of the Securities surrendered.] 

  
 4 

 3. Redemption. 

[The Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time [on or after
            ,             ], as a whole or in part, at the option of the Issuer, upon mailing notice of such
redemption not less than 30 and not more than 60 days to the Holders of such Securities, at a redemption price equal to                 .] 

4. Paying Agent and Security Registrar 

Initially, [the Trustee] will act as Paying Agent and Security Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Security Registrar
without notice to the Holders. 
 5. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of [$2,000] and multiples of [$1,000]. A Holder shall
register the transfer of or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar
governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. [The Issuer need not register the transfer of or exchange (a) any Securities for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the
first notice that such Securities are to be redeemed, or (b) any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not
to be so redeemed.] 
 6. Persons Deemed Owners. 

The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

7. Unclaimed Funds. 
 If funds for the payment of
principal or interest remain unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will repay the funds to the Issuer. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such funds shall cease. 

8. Defeasance. 
 The Indenture [as amended by
the Supplemental Indenture] contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Issuer on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the
Issuer with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions [apply] to this Security. 
 9. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. 

Subject to certain exceptions, the Securities of this series, [the Supplemental Indenture] and the provisions of the Indenture relating
to the Securities of this series may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of
Default, other than the non-payment of the principal amount of or interest on the Securities of 

  
 5 

 
this series, or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities of this series, then
outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Securities in
addition to or in place of certificated Securities, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Security. 
 10.
Defaults and Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series then outstanding (voting as a separate class) by notice in writing to the Issuer (and also to the Trustee if such notice is given by
the Holders) may declare [the entire principal] of the Securities of this series and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If a bankruptcy Event of
Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then [the entire principal] of the Securities then outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall become automatically due and payable immediately in the manner and with
the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it has received
indemnity satisfactory to it. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.
The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Securities notice of certain continuing Defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 

11. Subordination. 
 Reference is made to the Indenture,
including, without limitation, provisions subordinating the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness as defined in the Indenture. Such further provisions
shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place. 
 12. Trustee Dealings with Issuer. 

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal
with the Issuer as if it were not the Trustee. 
 13. No Recourse Against Others. 

No stockholder, director, officer, employee or incorporator, past, present or future as such, of the Issuer or any predecessor or successor
corporation thereof shall have any liability for any obligation under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of a Security by accepting a Security
waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities. 

  
 6 

 14. Authentication. 

This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Security. 

15. Abbreviations and Defined Terms. 
 Customary
abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Security or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=
Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 
 16. CUSIP Numbers. 

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to
be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
hereon. 
 17. Governing Law. 
 The laws of the
State of New York shall govern the Indenture and this Security thereof, and for all purposes this Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such State without regard to any principle of conflict of laws that would
require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law.

- 3 -

4.    Conversion.

 

(a)                  Voluntary Conversion.  Upon not less than five days’ prior written notice, the Investor may elect to convert all, or any portion of this Note into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the outstanding principal balance of the converted portion of the Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest hereon through the date of conversion, by $0.32 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations and pursuant to the terms of Section 5, the “Conversion Price”).

 

(b)                  Mandatory Conversion.  If, at any time commencing as of six months after the First Closing, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock over any consecutive sixty (60) trading days equals or exceeds $1.00 and the average daily volume during the same sixty (60) day trading period is not less than 40,000 shares per day, then, the Company may elect to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock by delivering to the Investor a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the outstanding principal balance of this Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of conversion, by the Conversion Price (the “Mandatory Conversion”); provided that the Company is fully reporting and current in all public filings as required by the SEC at the time of the Mandatory Conversion.

 

(c)                  Conversion Procedure.  Before the Investor is entitled to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4(a) above, the Investor will surrender this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen, or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the Investor agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) and give written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office of the election to convert the same pursuant to Section 4(a), and will state therein the amount of the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be converted, together with all accrued and unpaid interest.  Upon such conversion of this Note, the Investor will execute and deliver to the Company an investor representation statement in a form reasonably required by the Company.  The Company will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to the Investor a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which the Investor is entitled upon such conversion, including a check payable to the Investor for any cash amounts payable as described in Section 4(d).  If this Note is converted by the Company in accordance with Section 4(b) above, written notice will be delivered to the Investor at the address last shown on the records of the Company for the Investor or given by the Investor to the Company for the purpose of notice, notifying the Investor of the conversion to be effected, specifying the Conversion Price, the principal amount of the Note to be converted, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, the date on which such conversion is expected to occur and calling upon such Investor to surrender the Note to the Company, in the manner and at the place designated, the Note.  Upon such conversion of this Note, the Investor will execute and deliver to the Company an investor representation statement in a form reasonably required by the Company.  Upon conversion of this Note in accordance with this Section 4, this Note will be of no further force and effect, whether or not it is delivered for cancellation as set forth in this Section 4(c).  The Company will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Investor a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which the Investor is entitled upon such conversion, including a check payable to the Investor for any cash amounts payable as described in Section 4(d).

- 4 -

(d)                  Fractional Shares; Interest; Effect of Conversion.  No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of this Note.  In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Investor upon the conversion of this Note, the Company will pay to the Investor an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence.  In addition, to the extent not converted into shares of Common Stock, the Company will pay to the Investor any interest accrued on the amount converted and on the amount to be paid by Company pursuant to the previous sentence.  Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of the amounts specified in this paragraph, the Company will be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note, and this Note will be deemed of no further force or effect, whether or not the original of this Note has been delivered to the Company for cancellation.

 

(e)                  Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.  The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note such number of its shares of Common Stock as is sufficient from time to time to effect the conversion of this Note.  If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock is not sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note, without limitation of such other remedies as may be available to the holder of this Note, then the Company will use its best commercial efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as is sufficient for such purposes.

 

5.    Antidilution.  In the event the Company issues Additional Shares of Common (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date immediately prior to such issue, then, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common so issued.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Price shall not be reduced at such time if the amount of such reduction would be less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward, and a reduction will be made with respect to such amount at the time of, and together with, any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amounts so carried forward, equal $0.01 or more in the aggregate.  For the purposes of this Section 5, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding Notes and preferred stock and the exercise and/or conversion of any other outstanding convertible securities of the Company and all outstanding stock options shall be deemed to be outstanding.  “Additional Shares of Common” means all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company after the date of this Note, other than issuances or deemed issuances of:  (a) securities issuable upon conversion of any of the Notes; (b) securities issued upon the conversion of any debenture, warrant, option or other convertible security issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date; (c) Common Stock issuable upon a stock split, stock dividend, or any subdivision of shares of capital stock of the Company; (d) shares of Common Stock (or options to purchase such shares of Common Stock or restricted stock units) issued or issuable to employees or directors of, or consultants to, the Company pursuant to any plan approved by the Board of Directors; and (e) securities otherwise excluded by a vote or written consent of the Required Holders.

6.    Subordination.  The Obligations evidenced by this Note are hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of the Company’s Senior Indebtedness, and any liens on property of the Company in favor of the Investor are hereby expressly subordinated in priority to any liens on the Company’s property in favor of any holder of Senior Indebtedness.  By acceptance of this Note, the Investor agrees to execute and deliver customary forms of subordination agreement requested from time to time by holders of Senior Indebtedness, and as a condition to the Investor’s rights hereunder, the Company may require that the Investor execute such forms of subordination agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor will be entitled to receive (i) equity securities of the Company from the conversion of all or any part of the Obligations and payments of cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares in connection with any such conversions, (ii) any note, instrument or other evidence of indebtedness which may be issued by the Company in exchange for or in substitution of this Note, provided that such note, instrument or other evidence of indebtedness is subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Section 6, and (iii) other payments consented to in writing by holders of Senior Indebtedness.

 

7.    Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                  Successors and Assigns.  Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Section 6.7 of the Purchase Agreement, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Investor will be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.

 

(b)                  Registration, Transfer, and Replacement of the Note.  The Company will keep at its principal executive office books for the registration and registration of transfer of the Note. Prior to presentation of any Note for registration of transfer, the Company will treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner and holder of such Note for all purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and the Company will not be affected by notice to the contrary.  Subject to the restrictions on or conditions to transfer set forth Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement, the holder of this Note, at its option, may in person or by duly authorized attorney surrender the same for exchange at the Company’s chief executive office, and promptly thereafter and at the Company’s expense, except as provided below, receive in exchange therefor one or more new Note(s), each in the principal requested by such holder, dated the date to which interest has been paid on the Note so surrendered or, if no interest has yet been so paid, dated the date of the Note so surrendered and registered in the name of such Person or Persons as have been designated in writing by such holder or its attorney for the same principal amount as the then unpaid principal amount of the Note so surrendered.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any Note and (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it or (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender thereof, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Note executed in the same manner as the Note being replaced, in the same principal amount as the unpaid principal amount of such Note and dated the date to which interest shall have been paid on such Note or, if no interest shall have yet been so paid, dated the date of such Note.

(c)                  Waiver and Amendment.  Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived or modified upon:  (i) the written consent of the Company and the Investor; or (ii) the written consent of the Company and the Requisite Holders, provided, that such amendment, waiver or modification effected pursuant to clause (ii) above applies equally to all of the Notes then outstanding.  The Investor acknowledges that, by the operation of this paragraph, the Requisite Holders will have the right and power to diminish or eliminate the rights of the Investor under this Note.

 

(d)                  Dispute Resolution; Governing Law; Notices.  The resolution of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Note, the law and jurisdiction governing this Note, and the provision of notice hereunder will all be conducted pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

 

(e)                  Pari Passu Notes.  The payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all interest hereon will be pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the other Notes.  If the holder of this Note receives payments in excess of its pro rata share of the Company’s payments to holders of all the Notes, then the holder of this Note will hold in trust all such excess payments for the benefit of the holders of the other Notes and will pay such amounts held in trust to such other holders upon demand by such holders.

 

(f)                  Payment.  Unless converted into the Company’s equity securities pursuant to the terms hereof, payment shall be made in lawful tender of the United States.

 

(g)                  Usury.  If any interest that is paid on this Note is deemed to be in excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of the interest payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be deemed a payment of principal and applied against the principal of this Note.

 

(h)                  Suitability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall have the absolute right to redeem this Note and prohibit conversion, and sever its relationship with Investor at any time, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that its relationship with Investor may jeopardize its state, federal, or other licenses, or otherwise jeopardize its ability to conduct business.

 

(i)                  Enforceability of Oral Agreements.  ORAL AGREEMENTS OR ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT, OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER WASHINGTON LAW.
