payment, then the Issuer will be deemed to have selected to pay the 2023-A PIK Fee as PIK Interest (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to timely make such election will not constitute a Default or Event of Default). Notwithstanding

rounded upward), together with all other information requested by the Trustee or any Holder in order to allocate such payment (it being understood and agreed that the 2023-A PIK Fee shall be increased by an amount equal to such PIK Interest on

will be deemed to have selected to pay PIK Interest of 3.50% and Cash Interest of 8.50% (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to timely make such election will not constitute a Default or Event of Default). The Issuer agrees to

the Indenture and the Notes shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to any defense or any right of set off, counterclaim or recoupment arising out of any breach by the Trustee or any Noteholder of any obligation to the Issuer
or otherwise with respect to the Notes or out of any indebtedness or liability at any time owing to the Issuer by the Trustee. Until such time as all of the Notes shall have been fully paid or redeemed, the Issuer will not suspend or discontinue
any payments provided for herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer’s obligation to make payments on the Notes is limited to the components of the Trust Estate. If the sources comprising the Trust Estate do not provide funds sufficient to
make payments on the Notes, the Issuer is under no obligation to make such payments. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer has an obligation to make all payments in accordance with the Transaction Documents, including the outstanding principal
and accrued interest on the Notes. Pursuant to the Trustee Services Agreement, the Trustee has assigned the Trust Estate to the Servicer, other than the Insurance Policy, which has been issued directly to the Trustee as Named Insured. For the
avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all amounts paid by the Insurer under the Insurance Policy, including amounts deposited in the Insurance Proceeds Fund that are subsequently transferred to the Debt Service
Fund, shall be applied solely to the payment of the Series 2023-A Notes.”

Payments under or in respect of this Note are subject to the Tax Matters set out in Article XI of the Indenture, including the Tax Gross-up and Tax indemnity provisions there. This Note is one of
an authorized issue of Notes consisting of “Carbon Revolution Operations Pty Ltd Fixed Rate Senior Notes, Series 2024-B” (the “Notes”), maturing on May 15, 2027. The Notes are issued under and subject to the provisions of a Trust Indenture, dated
as of May 23, 2023 (as amended by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated May 24, 2024, the Third Supplemental Indenture dated June 21, 2024, and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the

and Security Agreement, by and among UMB Bank, National Association, not in its individual capacity, but solely as Trustee, solely in its capacity as disbursing agent (the “Disbursing Agent”), Xxxxxxxxx IP Solutions LLC, as servicer and as

Estate has been assigned by the Trustee to the Servicer). All funds established in the Indenture are pledged for the equal and ratable benefit of the registered holders of the Notes and, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, may be used
for no purpose other than payment of the Notes.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Indenture, other than through the assets that comprise the Trust Estate, the Issuer has no obligation to make payments of principal of or interest on
the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer has an obligation to make all payments in accordance with the Transaction Documents, including the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Notes. Reference is hereby made to the
Indenture and to all indentures supplemental thereto, as well as the Proceeds Disbursing Agreement for a description of the assets that comprise the Trust Estate, the provisions, among others, with respect to the nature and extent of the security

modified, to all of which provisions the Holder of this Note, on behalf of himself and his successors in interest, assents by acceptance hereof.
The Notes are issuable only in the form of fully registered Notes without coupons in the Authorized Denominations. Subject to the conditions and upon the payment of charges provided in the
Indenture, the Holder of any Note or Notes issued under the Indenture may, if not prohibited by law, surrender the same (together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly
authorized in writing) in exchange for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of any denominations authorized as above described. This Note is transferable as provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture by the Holder in
person or by the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing at the Designated Trust Office of the Trustee upon surrender of this Note accompanied by a duly executed instrument of transfer, in form and with guarantee of signature satisfactory to
the Trustee, and upon payment of any governmental charges or taxes incident to such transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Note or Notes in the same aggregate principal amount and of the same series, interest rate, and maturity will be issued to
the transferee. The Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Note is registered as the absolute Holder hereof (whether or not this Note shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of,
the principal of, and interest due on this Note and for all other purposes, and the Issuer and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Beneficial Ownership Interests in this Note may be transferred so long as the proposed
resale, transfer, or other disposition of this Note is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
A-3
The Notes are subject to redemption prior to the Stated Maturity Date pursuant to the terms of Section 2.13 of the Indenture.
The Holder of this Note shall have no right to enforce the provisions of the Indenture or this Note, or to institute action to enforce the covenants therein or herein, or to take any action with
respect to any event of default under the Indenture, or to institute, appear in, or defend any suit or other proceedings with respect thereto except as provided in the Indenture. In certain events, on the conditions, in the manner, and with the
effect set forth in the Indenture, the principal of all of the Notes issued under the Indenture and then outstanding may become or may be declared due and payable before the stated maturity thereof, together with interest accrued thereon.
Modifications or alterations of the Indenture, or of any supplements thereto, may be made only to the extent and in the circumstances permitted by the Indenture.
A-4
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, AND DECLARED that all acts, conditions, and things required to exist, happen, and be performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Note do exist, have
happened, and have been performed in due time, form, and manner as required by applicable law in order to make this Note a valid and legal obligation of the Issuer and that the issuance of the Notes (subject to the terms hereof), together with

3. |
The Purchaser is a Qualified Institutional Buyer or an Institutional Accredited Investor and is aware (and if it is acquiring the Last Out Notes for the account of one or more Qualified Institutional Buyers or Institutional Accredited
Investors, each is aware) that the Issuer is relying on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, is acquiring the Last Out Notes for its own account or for

|
7. |
None of the Issuer, the Insurer, the Trustee, or any of their respective Affiliates is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment advisor for the Purchaser with respect to the purchase of the Last Out Notes. The Purchaser is not
relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the Issuer, the Insurer, the Trustee, or any of their respective Affiliates, except for
representations in the Transaction Documents.
|
8. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing in paragraph 7, the Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Issuer and the Insurer concerning the purchase of the Last Out Notes and all matters relating thereto
or any additional information deemed necessary to its decision to purchase or acquire the Last Out Notes. The Purchaser has made its own independent review of credit and related matters applicable to the Issuer, the purchase and holding
of the Last Out Notes and otherwise to its investment in the Last Out Notes.
|
9. |
[RESERVED].
|
10. |
The Purchaser understands that none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any other party makes any representation as to the proper characterization of the Last Out Notes for legal investment or other purposes, or as to the ability of
particular investors to purchase the Last Out Notes for legal investment or other purposes, or as to the ability of particular investors to purchase the Last Out Notes under applicable investment restrictions.
|
11. |
The Purchaser has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent it has deemed necessary and has made its own investment decision (including decisions regarding the
suitability of any transaction pursuant to the Indenture) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the Issuer, the Insurer, the Trustee, or any of
their respective Affiliates.
|
12. |
The Purchaser agrees to treat the Last Out Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax and all applicable state and local income and franchise tax purposes in all tax filings, reports and returns and otherwise, and will not take,
or participate in the taking of or permit to be taken, any action that is inconsistent with such tax treatment and tax reporting of the Last Out Notes, unless required by applicable law.
|
B-2
13. |
Unless the application of this section 13 has been removed by a change in law, if the Purchaser decides to resell or otherwise transfer such Last Out Notes, then it agrees on its own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for
which it is purchasing the Last Out Notes, and each subsequent purchaser of the Last Out Notes by its acceptance thereof, agrees, that it will resell or transfer such Last Out Notes only to the Issuer or an Affiliate, or to a person whom
the seller reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer acquiring the Last Out Notes for its own account or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others must also be Qualified Institutional Buyers) to whom notice is given
that the resale or other transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A of the Securities Act and in accordance with any applicable United States state securities laws or other applicable securities laws of the relevant jurisdiction.
|

The Purchaser understands and agrees that each certificate representing an interest in the Last Out Notes shall include a legend similar to the following (the “Securities Legend”), unless

INTEREST THEREIN WILL BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE.
NEITHER THE LAST OUT NOTES (NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN) MAY BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED TO ANY AUSTRALIAN PERSON OR ENTITY.
ANY PURPORTED PURCHASE OR TRANSFER OF ANY INTEREST IN A LAST OUT NOTE BY A PURCHASER OR TO A TRANSFEREE THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE FOREGOING SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AB
INITIO.
15. |
Unless the Securities Legend has been removed from the Last Out Notes, the Purchaser agrees to notify each transferee of the Last Out Notes or of any Beneficial Ownership Interest or other interest therein of the deemed representations
described herein and that such transferee will be deemed to have agreed to notify its subsequent transferees as to the foregoing.
|
16. |
The Purchaser certifies, as provided on the legend set forth on the Last Out Note (the “ERISA Restricted Legend”), as follows:
|
B-3
EITHER PURCHASER (A) IS NOT AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN OR OTHER PLAN SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”), OR SIMILAR LAW (EACH, A “PLAN”) AND THAT
IT IS NOT ACQUIRING THE LAST OUT NOTES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FOR, OR ON BEHALF OF, A PLAN OR ANY ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS ARE DEEMED TO BE PLAN ASSETS OF SUCH A PLAN; OR PURCHASER’S (B) PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP OR DISPOSITION OF SUCH LAST OUT
NOTE WILL NOT CONSTITUTE OR RESULT IN A NON-EXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE (OR, IN THE CASE OF A GOVERNMENTAL PLAN, CHURCH PLAN OR FOREIGN PLAN, ANY VIOLATION OF SIMILAR LAW) NOR SUBJECT THE
TRUSTEE, THE ISSUER, THE INSURER OR THE PURCHASER OF THE LAST OUT NOTES TO ANY OBLIGATION NOT AFFIRMATIVELY UNDERTAKEN IN WRITING. PURCHASER UNDERSTANDS THAT ANY PURPORTED PURCHASE OR TRANSFER OF ANY INTEREST IN THIS LAST OUT NOTE BY PURCHASER OR
TO A TRANSFEREE THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE FOREGOING SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AB INITIO.
17. |
The Purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer, and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements and agrees that, if the Purchaser cease to qualify as a Qualified
Institutional Buyer or an Institutional Accredited Investor, it will promptly notify the Issuer. If it is acquiring any Last Out Notes as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it represents that it has sole investment
discretion with respect to each such account and that it has full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements on behalf of each such account.
|
18. |
The Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the Insurer and the Issuer against any and all liability that may result if any transfer of such Last Out Note is not made by the Purchaser in a manner consistent with the transfer
restrictions in the Indenture.
|
19. |
Neither the undersigned nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred the Last Out Notes, any interest in the Last Out Notes or any other similar security to any Person in any
manner; (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a pledge, disposition or other transfer of the Last Out Notes, any interest in the Last Out Notes or any other similar security from any Person in any manner; (c) otherwise approached or
negotiated with respect to the Last Out Notes, any interest in the Last Out Notes or any other similar security with any Person in any manner; (d) made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner; or
(e) taken any other action, that (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (d) above) would constitute a distribution of the Last Out Notes under the Securities Act, would render the disposition of the Last Out
Notes a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities law or would require registration or qualification of the Last Out Notes pursuant thereto.
|
20. |
The Purchaser recognizes that an investment in the Last Out Notes involves significant risks. The Purchaser understands that there is no established market for the Last Out Notes and that none will develop and, accordingly, that the
Purchaser must bear the economic risk of an investment in the Last Out Notes for an indefinite period of time.
|
B-4
21. |
The Purchaser agrees that the Purchaser is bound by and will abide by the provisions of the Indenture and the restrictions on transfer of the Last Out Notes and interests therein in the legends on the face of the Last Out Notes. The
Purchaser agrees that it will provide to each person to whom it transfers Last Out Notes notice of the restrictions on transfer of the Last Out Notes.
|
22. |

above. The Purchaser understands that each of the Last Out Notes will bear a legend restricting transfer of the Last Out Notes.
|
23. |
The interpretation of the provisions hereof shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
|
24. |
If the Purchaser is acquiring any Last Out Notes as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, the Purchaser represents that it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and that it has full power to
make on behalf of such account the representations, confirmations, acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this PPM.

Obligations if in any Insolvency Proceeding it is necessary for the Trustee, Servicer or Security Trustee to file and prove a claim for the amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Last Out Obligations and
to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have such claims allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding (subject in all cases to Section 6 of this Agreement). The Co-Obligors hereby acknowledge and
agree that any limitation period applicable to the right of the Trustee. Servicer or Security Trustee to enforce the Last Out Obligations shall be irrevocably extended by such amount of time as the Trustee, Servicer or Security
Trustee, as applicable, is restricted from or delayed in exercising any rights and/or remedies pursuant to this Agreement.

5. |
No Objection. Unless otherwise directed by all or the requisite majority of the Noteholders or Security
Beneficiaries or as may be required by applicable law, none of the Trustee, the Holders of the Last Out Notes, the Servicer or the Security Trustee shall intentionally or knowingly take, or cause or permit any other Person to take
on their behalf, any actions whatsoever whereby the priority or validity of the Senior Debt or the rights of the Holders of the Senior Notes hereunder or under the Debt Documents would be delayed, defeated, impaired or diminished.
|
6. |
Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy, etc. In any Insolvency Proceeding, the Senior Debt (including any and all
payments to Holders of the Senior Notes) shall be paid in full (including interest, premiums, and other amounts accruing to the date of receipt of such payment at the applicable rate whether or not allowed or allowable in any such
proceeding, default interest and any applicable premiums, fees or make-whole amounts), pursuant to the terms thereof, before the Holders of the Last Out Notes shall be entitled to receive any payment or distribution (including of
any cash and/or any other assets of the Co-Obligors), and the Holders of the Senior Notes shall be entitled to receive directly, for application in payment of such Senior Notes (to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full
after giving effect to any substantially concurrent payment or distribution to the Holders of the Senior Notes), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or other assets, which would otherwise be payable
or deliverable upon or with respect to the Last Out Obligations. To the extent any payment of Senior Debt (whether by or on behalf of any Co-Obligors or otherwise) is declared to be a fraudulent preference or otherwise preferential,
set aside or required to be paid to a trustee, receiver or other similar Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, then if such payment is recoverable by, or paid over to, such trustee, receiver or other
Person, the Senior Debt or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be (and otherwise deemed to be) fully reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred. The Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the
Senior Notes is irrevocably authorized and empowered to make and present for and on behalf of the Holders of the Last Out Notes, such proofs of claim or other motions or pleadings and to demand, receive and collect any and all
dividends or other payments and disbursements made thereon in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and to apply the same on account of the Senior Debt in order to enable the Holders of the Senior Notes or the Trustee on
behalf of the Holders of the Senior Notes to enforce any and all of its and their rights hereunder.

Payments Received by the Trustee, Servicer or Security Trustee. If, prior to Payment in Full, any Holders of
any Last Out Notes or any Person on its or their behalf receives any payment from or distribution of assets of the Co-Obligors on account of the Last Out Obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement, then such Holders or
Person shall receive and hold such payment or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes and, except as otherwise provided in the Debt Documents, shall apply such payment or distribution to the
repayment of the Senior Notes.

Holders of the Senior Notes), or by any non-compliance by the Co-Obligors with any of the agreements or instruments relating to the Last Out Obligation or Senior Debt, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Holders of the

5
