      and among KKR & Co. Inc., a Delaware corporation (“KKR & Co. Inc.”); KKR Group Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“KKR Group
          Holdings Corp.”); KKR Group Partnership L.P., a Cayman Island exempted limited partnership (“KKR Group Partnership L.P.”); KKR Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“KKR Holdings L.P.”); KKR Holdings GP Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“KKR Holdings GP Limited”); KKR Associates Holdings

    RECITALS

     

    WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into a series of transactions (each such transaction, a “Reorganization



          Step” and such transactions together, the “Reorganization”), including the Holdings Merger and Pubco Merger (each as defined below), pursuant to which, among other things:

     

    (i)        in connection with
          the Holdings Merger, the limited partners of KKR Holdings L.P. (the “Holdings LPs”) that hold units, whether or not vested (the “Holdings
              Units”), representing Class A Interests (as defined in the limited partnership agreement of KKR Holdings L.P. (the “Holdings LPA”)) will receive in exchange for their
          Holdings Units a right to receive shares of common stock (“KKR Common Stock” and such shares received in exchange for Holdings Units, the “Holdings



              Unit Exchanged Shares”) of a newly formed Delaware corporation (“New Pubco”) that following the consummation of Reorganization will be the new parent holding company of
          each of KKR & Co. Inc. and KKR Holdings L.P.;

     

    (ii)         in connection with
          the Holdings Merger, as further consideration for the Holdings Units (as defined below) held by Holdings LP, each Holdings LP will also receive shares of KKR Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to their Pro Rata Share (as defined below);
          and

     

    (iii)        the Tax Receivable
          Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2010, as amended, among KKR Holdings L.P., KKR & Co. Inc. and the other parties thereto (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”), will be terminated with
          respect to exchanges subsequent to the Final Exchange (as defined below); and

     

    WHEREAS, KKR & Co. Inc., KKR Management LLP and KKR Associates Holdings GP Limited agree to implement a framework to cause future corporate
      governance changes at a future date as described herein relating to New Pubco whereby (i) New Pubco’s Series I Preferred Stock will be eliminated and (ii) New Pubco will acquire control of KKR Associates Holdings L.P. or its successor.

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the
      receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

     

    ARTICLE I

        RECAPITALIZATION; MERGERS

     

    Section 1.01       Final Exchange; Termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement. On a date to be mutually agreed between the Parties following the consummation of the final exchange of
        Class A units in KKR Group Partnership L.P. (the “Class A Units”) that occurs prior to the Closing Time (the “Final Exchange”),
        KKR Holdings L.P., KKR & Co. Inc. and the other parties thereto shall terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement with respect to any exchanges of Holdings Units following the Final Exchange (which amendment and termination will be a Reorganization
        Step); provided that, notwithstanding such termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, all obligations of KKR & Co. Inc. and its subsidiaries to make payments arising under the Tax
        Receivable Agreement with respect to the Final Exchange and any exchanges completed prior thereto shall remain outstanding; provided, further,
        that the Tax Receivable Agreement shall not be terminated if the Mergers are not consummated.

    

    

    Section 1.02     Recapitalization.
        Following the Final Exchange, immediately prior to the Closing Time, KKR & Co. Inc., KKR Group Partnership L.P. and KKR Holdings L.P. and/or an affiliate shall consummate a recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”

          foregoing shall be subject to adjustment for any stock splits or combinations occurring after the date hereof.  The issuance of any individual Holdings LP’s Pro Rata Share of Class A Unit Exchanged Shares shall be conditioned on such Holdings LP
          duly executing and delivering to New Pubco a lock-up agreement in the form provided by KKR & Co. Inc. pursuant to which (i) such Holdings LP agrees to transfer restrictions on such Class A Unit Exchanged Shares equivalent to those set forth

              (viii)

            	
              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Section 6.05 and without prejudice to the above procedures, any party may apply to the Delaware Chancery Court, or, if such court does not have
                jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware, or, if neither of such courts has jurisdiction, any other Delaware state court (“Chosen Courts”) or any other court of competent jurisdiction for temporary injunctive or
                other provisional judicial relief if such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo.  Each of the parties irrevocably consents and submits for itself and in respect of its property, generally and
                unconditionally, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for such purpose and for the enforcement of any arbitral award rendered hereunder and to compel arbitration.  In any such action: (i) each party irrevocably waives, to

                on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any of the Chosen Courts; (ii) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of process in
                any Dispute in any of the aforesaid courts or arbitration by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by recognized overnight delivery service, to such party at 30 Hudson Yards, New York, New York

              (ix)

            	
              Without prejudice to the provisional remedies that may be granted by a court, the arbitrator shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies, to order a party to request that a court modify or vacate any

        13

              The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and not subject to judicial review.

            


       

      

    

    
      	
              (xii)

            	
              Any arbitration award may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereof or over any party or any of its assets and the parties hereby consent and submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of
                any competent jurisdiction for purposes of the enforcement of any arbitration award.

            


       

      

    

    
      	
              (xiii)

            	
              The parties to any Dispute agree that after the arbitrators have made a finding with respect to a particular factual matter pursuant to this Section 6.05, such finding of the arbitrators shall be deemed
                to have been finally determined by the parties for all purposes under this Agreement and, thereafter, no party shall have the right to seek any contrary determination in connection with any later arbitration procedure.

            


       

      

    

    (d)          To the extent that any Party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity
        from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself, or to such Party’s property, each such Party
        hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of such Party’s obligations with respect to this Agreement.

     

    (e)          Each Party acknowledges that it is knowingly and voluntarily agreeing to
        the choice of Delaware law to govern this Agreement and to the arbitration and other provisions of this Section 6.05. The Parties intend this to be an effective choice of Delaware law and
        an effective consent to jurisdiction and service of process under 6 Del. C. §2708.

     

    (f)          Each Party, for itself and its affiliates, hereby irrevocably and
        unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law all right to trial by jury in any action or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to the actions of the Parties or their
        respective affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or the other transaction documents in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement hereof or thereof.

     

    Section 6.06         Execution; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed (including by facsimile, “.pdf” or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, each of
        which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed
        in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed
        signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the Parties consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

    

    

    
      14

      
        


    

    Section 6.07         Parties in
            Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Party and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other
        person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

     

    Section 6.08         Entire Agreement.
        This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all prior negotiations, commitments, course of dealings and writings with respect to such subject matter.

     

    Section 6.09         Remedies.
        Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one
        remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.  The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their
        respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or
        otherwise breach such provisions.  It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.01, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction
        or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder
        to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.  Each of the Parties agrees that it will
        not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific
        performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.  No breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall give rise to any right on the part of
        any Party, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

     

    Section 6.10         No Recourse.
        Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, each Party, on behalf of itself and its affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, acknowledges and agrees that no recourse under this Agreement or any
        documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be had against any past, present or future director, officer, agent or employee of any past, present or future member of the other
        Party or of any affiliate or assignee thereof or any other person that is not a Party, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, it being
        expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any past, present or future director, officer, agent or employee of any past, present or future member of any Party
        or of any affiliate or assignee thereof, as such, for any obligation of such Party under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
        obligations or their creation.

    

    

    
      15

      
        


    

    Section 6.11         No Waiver of
            Rights. The failure or delay of any Party to assert any of its rights or exercise any of its remedies hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies.

     

    Section 6.12         Severability.
        If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions
        contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such term or provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, it
        shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Upon a determination that any term or
        other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an
        acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

     

    Section 6.13         Construction;
            Interpretation. The term “this Agreement” means this Reorganization Agreement together with the exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. 
        The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  No Party, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for
        purposes of construing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Party.  Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or
        use thereof: (i) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the exhibits, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this
        Agreement; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (iii) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (iv) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be
        deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (v) financial terms shall have the meanings given to such terms under GAAP unless otherwise specified herein; (vi) references to “$” or “dollar” or “US$” shall be references to United States
        dollars and (vii) the word “or” means “and/or”.  If any action under this Agreement is required to be done or taken on a day that is not a Business Day or on which a government office is not open with respect to which a filing must be made, then
        such action shall be required to be done or taken not on such day but on the first succeeding Business Day thereafter.  “Business Day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on
        which commercial banks in New York, New York are not required or authorized by Law to be closed for the general transaction of business.

      WITNESSETH:

        together, the “Reorganization”);

       

      WHEREAS, the Reorganization Agreement contemplates, among other Reorganization Steps, (i) the merger of Merger Sub II with and
        into KKR & Co. (the “Pubco Merger”), with KKR & Co. surviving (the surviving entity, the “Surviving Company”), (ii) the merger of KKR Aubergine Merger Sub I
        LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of New Pubco (“Merger Sub I”), with and into KKR Holdings (the “Holdings Merger”), with

      WHEREAS, Merger Sub II and KKR & Co. desire to complete the Pubco Merger;

       

      WHEREAS, Section 264 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and Section 18-209
        of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “LLC Act”) permit the merger of a limited liability company into a corporation;

        and the consummation of the Pubco Merger in accordance with the DGCL and the LLC Act and the applicable organizational documents of KKR & Co. and Merger Sub II;

       

      

      
        
          


      

      
      WHEREAS, the Merger will be implemented pursuant to Sections 251(g) and 264 of the DGCL and Section 18-209 of the LLC Act and,

      (b)          The parties in dispute shall attempt in good faith to resolve such
          Dispute among themselves within thirty (30) calendar days from the date any party sends written notice of such Dispute to the other party(ies) involved in such Dispute.

       

      (c)          If such Dispute has not been resolved in writing for any reason within
          the 30-day period, the Dispute shall, at the request of any party, be settled exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules in effect at the time (the “Rules”), except as modified herein.

       

      
        	
                (i)

              	
                The seat of arbitration shall be New York, New York and the arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

              


         

        

      

      
        	
                (ii)

              	
                The arbitration shall be conducted by three independent and impartial arbitrators.

              


         

        

      

      	

            	(a)	
              If there are only two parties to the arbitration, then the claimant and respondent shall each appoint one arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receipt by respondent of the demand for arbitration.  The two arbitrators so appointed shall
                appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (the “Presiding Arbitrator”) within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If any party fails to appoint an arbitrator, or if the two
                party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the Presiding Arbitrator, within the time periods specified herein, then any such arbitrator shall, upon any party’s request, be appointed by the ICDR in accordance with the Rules.

            


       

      	

            	(b)	
              If there are more than two parties to the arbitration, then the claimant or claimants collectively, and respondent or respondents collectively, shall each appoint one arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receipt by respondent or
                respondents of the demand for arbitration.  The two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint the Presiding Arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the two party-appointed arbitrators cannot reach
                agreement on the Presiding Arbitrator within the time periods specified herein, then the ICDR shall appoint the Presiding Arbitrator in accordance with the Rules.  If either all of the claimants or all of the respondents, respectively, fail
                to make a joint appointment of an arbitrator within the time limits set forth herein, then the ICDR shall appoint all three arbitrators in accordance with the Rules.

                The arbitrators shall permit and facilitate such discovery as they shall determine appropriate in the circumstances, taking into account the needs of the parties and the desirability of making discovery
                  expeditious and cost effective.

              


         

        

      

      
        	
                (vi)

              	
                The parties to the Dispute shall keep confidential any proprietary information, trade secrets or other nonpublic information disclosed in discovery.

                  other provisional judicial relief if such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo.  Each of the parties irrevocably consents and submits for itself and in respect of its property, generally and
                  unconditionally, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for such purpose and for the enforcement of any arbitral award rendered hereunder and to compel arbitration.  In any such action: (i) each party irrevocably waives,
                  to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to
                  jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any of the Chosen Courts; (ii) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service

                (ix)

              	
                Without prejudice to the provisional remedies that may be granted by a court, the arbitrator shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies, to order a party to request that a court modify or vacate
                  any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitrator’s orders to that effect.

              


         

        

      

      
        	
                (x)

                (xi)

              	
                The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and not subject to judicial review.

              


         

        

      

      
        	
                (xii)

              	
                Any arbitration award may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereof or over any party or any of its assets and the parties hereby consent and submit to the jurisdiction of the courts
                  of any competent jurisdiction for purposes of the enforcement of any arbitration award.

                  deemed to have been finally determined by the parties for all purposes under this Agreement and, thereafter, no party shall have the right to seek any contrary determination in connection with any later arbitration procedure.

          immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself, or to such party’s property, each
          such party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of such party’s obligations with respect to this Agreement.

       

      (e)          Each party hereto acknowledges that it is knowingly and voluntarily
          agreeing to the choice of Delaware law to govern this Agreement and to arbitration and the other provisions of this Section 5.05. The parties hereto intend this to be an effective
          choice of Delaware law and an effective consent to jurisdiction and service of process under 6 Del. C. § 2708.

       

      (f)          Each party hereto, for itself and its affiliates, hereby irrevocably and
          unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law all right to trial by jury in any action or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to the actions of the parties hereto or
          their respective affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or the other transaction documents in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement hereof or thereof.

        transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

        respective successors and assigns, acknowledges and agrees that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be had against any past,
        present or future director, officer, agent or employee of any past, present or future member of the other parties hereto or of any affiliate or assignee thereof or any other person that is not a party to

        shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any past, present or future director, officer, agent or employee of any past, present or future member of any party hereto or of any affiliate or assignee thereof, as such, for any

                  to appoint an arbitrator, or if the two party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the Presiding Arbitrator, within the time periods specified herein, then any such arbitrator shall, upon any party’s request, be appointed by the ICDR in
                  accordance with the Rules.

              


      

       

      

      	

            	(b)	
              If there are more than two parties to the arbitration, then the claimant or claimants collectively, and respondent or respondents collectively, shall each appoint one arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receipt by respondent or
                respondents of the demand for arbitration.  The two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint the Presiding Arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the two party-appointed arbitrators cannot reach
                agreement on the Presiding Arbitrator within the time periods specified herein, then the ICDR shall appoint the Presiding Arbitrator in accordance with the Rules.  If either all of the claimants or all of the respondents, respectively, fail
                to make a joint appointment of an arbitrator within the time limits set forth herein, then the ICDR shall appoint all three arbitrators in accordance with the Rules.

                The arbitrators shall permit and facilitate such discovery as they shall determine appropriate in the circumstances, taking into account the needs of the parties and the desirability of making discovery
                  expeditious and cost effective.

              


         

        

      

      
        	
                (vi)

                    proceeding in any of the Chosen Courts; (ii) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of process in any Dispute in any of the aforesaid courts or arbitration by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail,

                (ix)

              	
                Without prejudice to the provisional remedies that may be granted by a court, the arbitrator shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies, to order a party to request that a court modify or vacate
                  any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitrator’s orders to that effect.

                (xi)

              	
                The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and not subject to judicial review.

              


         

        

      

      
        	
                (xii)

              	
                Any arbitration award may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereof or over any party or any of its assets and the parties hereby consent and submit to the jurisdiction of the courts
                  of any competent jurisdiction for purposes of the enforcement of any arbitration award.

              


         

        

      

      
        	
                (xiii)

              	
                The parties to any Dispute agree that after the arbitrators have made a finding with respect to a particular factual matter pursuant to this Section 5.05, such finding of the arbitrators shall be
                  deemed to have been finally determined by the parties for all purposes under this Agreement and, thereafter, no party shall have the right to seek any contrary determination in connection with any later arbitration procedure.

              


         

        

      

      (a)          To the extent that any party hereto has or hereafter may acquire any
          immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise)

       

        

      
        8

        
          


      

       with respect to itself, or to such party’s property, each such party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of such party’s obligations with respect to this Agreement.

       

      (b)          Each party hereto acknowledges that it is knowingly and voluntarily
          agreeing to the choice of Delaware law to govern this Agreement and to arbitration and the other provisions of this Section 5.05. The parties hereto intend this to be an effective
          choice of Delaware law and an effective consent to jurisdiction and service of process under 6 Del. C. § 2708.

       

      (c)          Each party hereto, for itself and its affiliates, hereby irrevocably and
          unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law all right to trial by jury in any action or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to the actions of the parties hereto or
          their respective affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or the other transaction documents in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement hereof or thereof.

       

      Section 5.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness

       

      This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
        signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received the counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,”
        “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of

        transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

       

      Section 5.07. No Recourse

        respective successors and assigns, acknowledges and agrees that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be had against any past,
        present or future director, officer, agent or employee of any past, present or future member of the other parties hereto or of any affiliate or assignee thereof or any other person that is not a party to
        this Agreement, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever
        shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any past, present or future director, officer, agent or employee of any past, present or future member of any party hereto or of any affiliate or assignee thereof, as such, for any
        obligation of such party under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

        KKR Associates Reserve L.P., their respective general partners and successors, and their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries, and (D) any investment fund, account or vehicle that is managed, advised or sponsored by any direct or indirect
        subsidiary of the Corporation.

       

       “Sunset Date” means the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of the Sunset Trigger Date (unless following the Sunset Trigger Date, KKR
        Management LLP determines in its sole discretion that the Sunset Date should occur earlier, in which case the Sunset Date shall be such earlier date of filing of an amended and/or restated certification of incorporation accelerating such date) and
        (ii) December 31, 2026.

        unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The physician selected shall determine, according to the facts then available, whether and when a Permanent Disability has occurred. The determination of any such physician shall be final and
        conclusive for all purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation.
