Section 7 says: 

   -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
   MHICAQEwBQYDK2VwBCIEINTuctv5E1hK1bbY8fdp+K06/nwoy/HU++CXqI9EdVhC
   oB8wHQYKKoZIhvcNAQkJFDEPDA1DdXJkbGUgQ2hhaXJzgSEAGb9ECWmEzf6FQbrB
   Z9w7lshQhqowtrbLDFw4rXAxZuE=
   -----END PRIVATE KEY------

It should say:

(re-encoded with correct attribute OID, see notes)

Notes:

This encoded private key contains an attribute with OID "1 2 840 113549 1 9 9 20", which is not assigned to anything. Likely, the intent was to use "1 2 840 113549 1 9 20" (one fewer 9), which is pkcs-9-at-friendlyName from RFC 2985.

The same private key also appears in section 10.3.
