PUBLIC COMPANY HOLDINGS UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

KKR & CO. INC.

This PUBLIC COMPANY HOLDINGS UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) of KKR & CO. INC. (the “Corporation”) is made by and between the Corporation and the undersigned (the “Grantee”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein or in the Amended and Restated KKR & Co. Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), shall be as defined in Appendix A attached hereto and the Plan is hereby attached as Appendix E and incorporated by reference herein.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) has determined it is in the best interests of the Corporation to provide the Grantee with this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements herein made and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree to the following:

ARTICLE I

GRANT OF PUBLIC COMPANY HOLDINGS UNITS

Section 1.1.

Grant of Public Company Holdings Units; Conditions of Grant

The Corporation hereby grants to the Grantee, effective as of the Grant Date specified on the RSU Grant Certificate attached hereto as Appendix B (the “Grant Date”), the number of “public company holdings units”, which are restricted stock units set forth in the RSU Grant Certificate attached hereto, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each restricted stock unit that is granted pursuant to this Agreement represents the right to receive delivery of one share of Class A Common Stock, subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan (each such restricted stock unit, an “RSU”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the grant of RSUs hereunder is conditioned upon the Grantee’s agreement to the covenants and obligations contained in the Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Obligations attached hereto as Appendix D incorporated herein by reference.

Section 1.2.

RSUs and Agreement Subject to Plan; Administrator

This Agreement and the grant of RSUs provided for herein shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan, except that if there are any express differences or inconsistencies between the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. For the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation may delegate to any employee of the KKR Group its duties and powers hereunder, and any reference to the “Administrator” contained herein shall be deemed to include any such delegate.

ARTICLE II

VESTING AND SETTLEMENT OF RSUS

Section 2.1.

Vesting of RSUs

(a)

The following vesting provisions shall apply to the RSUs:

(i)

Subject to the Grantee’s continued Employment through the Service Vesting Date or Service Vesting Dates, as applicable, as specified in the RSU Grant Certificate attached hereto, the RSUs shall become vested on such date or dates, as applicable, as to the percentage(s) set forth in such RSU Grant Certificate.

(ii)

If, prior to the date the RSUs are vested as provided in Section 2.1(a)(i) above or otherwise terminate and are forfeited pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and (c) below: (A) the Grantee’s Employment terminates due to the Grantee’s Retirement, if applicable, then all Retirement RSUs shall, in the discretion of the Administrator, be fully vested as a result thereof; (B) the Grantee dies or experiences a Disability, then all unvested RSUs shall be vested as a result thereof, provided that if the Grantee is not an employee of the KKR Group, then any vesting of unvested RSUs described in this clause (B) shall be in the discretion of the Administrator; or (C) there occurs a Change in Control prior to any termination of the Grantee’s Employment, then all or any portion of any unvested RSUs may, in the discretion of the Administrator, be vested as a result thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Grantee’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable treatment applicable to the Retirement RSUs pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(ii) being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Corporation will not apply the favorable treatment at the time the Grantee’s Employment terminates due to the Grantee’s Retirement under clause (A) above, and the RSUs will be treated as set forth in Section 2.1(a)(i), 2.1(b), 2.1(c) or the other provisions of this Section 2.1(a)(ii), as applicable.

(iii)

All RSUs that become vested under this Section 2.1(a) are eligible to be Settled pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement.

(b)

If the Grantee’s Employment terminates for any reason other than due to the Grantee’s death, Disability or Retirement, each as provided for in Section 2.1(a) above, all then unvested RSUs (including any RSUs that are not Retirement RSUs) shall immediately terminate and be forfeited without consideration, and no Class A Common Stock shall be delivered hereunder.

(c)

The Grantee’s right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Grantee is no longer actively providing services (even if still considered employed or engaged under local Law) and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local Law (e.g., active Employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local Law) except as may be otherwise agreed in writing by the Corporation or the Designated Service Recipient with the Grantee; the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer actively employed or engaged for purposes of the RSUs.

Section 2.2.

Settlement of RSUs

(a)

To the extent that (i) an RSU granted hereunder becomes vested pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above and (ii) the related Service Vesting Date has also occurred, then with respect to such percentage of RSUs set forth next to the applicable Service Vesting Date on the RSU Grant Certificate, such RSU shall be Settled as soon as administratively practicable on or following the applicable Service Vesting Date for such RSU; provided that the Administrator may determine that such Settlement may instead occur on or as soon as administratively practicable after the first day of the next permissible trading window of Class A Common Stock that opens for employees of the KKR Group to sell Class A Common Stock (provided that in any event such Settlement shall not be later than the time permitted under Section 409A, if applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, the Settlement of any RSUs that become vested pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) above shall not be accelerated, such that, with respect to any such RSUs, only that percentage of such RSUs that would otherwise have become vested on each applicable Service Vesting Date as set forth on the RSU Grant Certificate pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) shall be Settled at each such Service Vesting Date in accordance with the foregoing sentence. The date on which any RSU is to be Settled hereunder is referred to as a “Delivery Date.” The Settlement of each RSU shall be effected in accordance with, and subject to the provisions of, Section 2.2(b) below.

(b)

On any Delivery Date, each vested RSU that is then being Settled shall be cancelled in exchange for the Corporation delivering to the Grantee either (i) the number of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of RSUs that are to be Settled on such Delivery Date pursuant to Section 2.2(a) above or (ii) an amount of cash, denominated in U.S. dollars, equal to the Fair Market Value of the foregoing number of Class A Common Stock (a “Cash Payment”). The Administrator may elect in its sole discretion whether to Settle the RSUs in Class A Common Stock or by a Cash Payment, and in the case of the Cash Payment, whether to have the Cash Payment delivered by the member of the KKR Group that employs or engages the Grantee or to which the Grantee otherwise is rendering services (the “Designated Service Recipient”).

(c)

Subject to the provisions of this Article II relating to the number of RSUs that are to be Settled on any applicable Delivery Date and solely to the extent permitted under Section 409A, if applicable, the Corporation may impose such other conditions and procedures in relation to the Settlement of RSUs as it may reasonably determine. In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Administrator may require that any or all of Class A Common Stock that may be delivered to the Grantee under this Section 2.2 that the Grantee intends to sell, from time to time, may only be sold through a coordinated sales program as defined by the Administrator.

(d)

Any of the foregoing payments or deliveries shall in all instances be subject to Sections 4.3 and 4.5 below, as applicable.

Section 2.3.

No Dividend Payments

The RSUs granted to the Grantee hereunder do not include the right to receive any dividend payments.

ARTICLE III

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIMITATIONS

Section 3.1.

Transfer Restrictions on RSUs

(a)

The Grantee may not Transfer all or any portion of the Grantee’s RSUs to any Other Holder (including to any Family Related Holder) without the prior written consent of the Administrator, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions (including the receipt of such legal or tax opinions and other documents that the Corporation may require) as are determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

(b)

Any Transfer of RSUs by the Grantee to Other Holders permitted by the Administrator pursuant to Section 3.1(a) shall be made in accordance with Section 3.4.

(c)

Any purported Transfer of RSUs that is not in accordance with this Section 3.1 is null and void.

Section 3.2.

Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenants

The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that Grantee is bound by and will comply with the Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Obligations contained in Appendix D, which obligations are incorporated by reference herein, and any other agreements that the Grantee has entered into with the Designated Service Recipient, the Corporation, KKR Holdings L.P., KKR Associates Holdings L.P., or any other member of the KKR Group, with respect to the Grantee’s obligation to keep confidential the nonpublic, confidential or proprietary information of the KKR Group and its Affiliates and any restrictive covenants concerning the Grantee’s obligations not to compete with the KKR Group or solicit its clients or employees after termination of Employment), as such agreements may be amended from time to time. If the Grantee is a limited partner of KKR Holdings L.P. or KKR Associates Holdings L.P., the Grantee further acknowledges and agrees that references to a Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Agreement in the limited partnership agreements of KKR Holdings L.P. and KKR Associates Holdings L.P. shall be deemed to include and also refer to the Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Obligations contained in Appendix D hereto.

Section 3.3.

Post-Settlement Transfer Restrictions on Class A Common Stock

The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall or shall not be applicable to the RSUs granted to the Grantee hereunder as indicated on the RSU Grant Certificate.

(a)

The Grantee may not Transfer all or any portion of the Grantee’s Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock (as defined below) (including to any Family Related Holder) without the prior written consent of the Administrator, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions (including the receipt of such legal or tax opinions and other documents that the Corporation may require) as are determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock may only be held in an account with an institution, and subject to terms and conditions, which have been approved by the Administrator from time to time. Any Transfer of Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock by the Grantee to Other Holders permitted by the Administrator pursuant to Section 3.3(a) shall be made in accordance with Section 3.4.

(b)

A “Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock” refers to all Class A Common Stock delivered upon Settlement of a vested RSU until (i) the first anniversary of the Service Vesting Date related thereto, in the case of 50% of such Class A Common Stock and (ii) the second anniversary of such Service Vesting Date, in the case of the other 50% of such Class A Common Stock.

(c)

If the Grantee breaches in any significant or intentional manner, as determined by the Administrator in his sole discretion, any of the Grantee’s covenants as stated in the Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Obligations contained in Appendix D, the Administrator, in his sole discretion, may direct that the Grantee forfeit all or a portion of the Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock held by the Grantee in an amount determined by the Administrator in his sole discretion. The Grantee hereby consents and agrees to immediately surrender and deliver such Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock to the Corporation, without the payment of any consideration, receipt of any further notice or fulfillment of any other condition.

(d)

If for any reason the Grantee’s Employment is terminated for Cause, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in writing, all Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock held by the Grantee shall automatically be forfeited by the Grantee without payment of any consideration. The Grantee hereby consents and agrees to immediately surrender and deliver such Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock to the Corporation, without the payment of any consideration, receipt of any further notice or fulfillment of any other condition.

(e)

Any forfeiture of Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock contemplated by Section 3.3(c) or Section 3.3(d) shall require no additional procedures on the part of the Corporation or its Affiliates. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that the Administrator may take any and all actions to reflect the forfeiture of Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock hereunder, including but not limited to the delivery of a written notice to the institution contemplated in Section 3.3(a) that holds the Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock, and agrees to take any further action to memorialize such forfeiture as the Administrator may require.

(f)

The Administrator may, from time to time, waive the provisions of this Section 3.3, subject to the imposition of any conditions or further requirements, as determined by the Administrator in his sole discretion. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Administrator may impose equivalent transfer or forfeiture restrictions on the Grantee’s other equity, if any, held in KKR Holdings, L.P., the Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates (or any of their respective equity incentive plans) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.3 are waived, and (ii) the Grantee hereby consents in advance to the imposition of such equivalent transfer or forfeiture restrictions for purposes of the governing documents of Grantee’s other equity, if any, held in KKR Holdings, L.P., the Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates (or any of their respective equity incentive plans) to the extent the Administrator waives the application of this Section 3.3 to the Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock.

(g)

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 3.3 also apply in the event the Grantee receives a Cash Payment in Settlement of a vested RSU on a Delivery Date as provided in Section 2.2(b).

(h)

Any purported Transfer of Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock that is not in accordance with this Section 3.3 is null and void.

Section 3.4.

Transfers to Other Holders

(a)

Transfers of RSUs or Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock by the Grantee to Other Holders are not permitted unless the Administrator provides his prior written consent pursuant Section 3.1 or Section 3.3. Prior to a Transfer of any RSUs or Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock to any Other Holder, the Other Holder must consent in writing to be bound by this Agreement as an Other Holder and deliver such consent to the Administrator.

(b)

If an RSU or Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock is held by an Other Holder, such Other Holder shall be bound by this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Grantee is bound hereby (or would be bound hereby had the Grantee continued to hold such RSU or Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock). Any Transfer to an Other Holder must be undertaken in compliance with Section 3.1(a). For the avoidance of doubt, any vesting requirement of Section 2.1 above that applies to an RSU or transfer or forfeiture restrictions that are applicable to Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock (including those Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock delivered upon Settlement of a Transferred RSU) held by an Other Holder shall be satisfied or deemed to be satisfied under this Article III only to the extent that such vesting requirement or transfer or forfeiture restrictions, as applicable, would otherwise have been satisfied if the RSU or Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock had not been Transferred by the Grantee, and any RSU and Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock, as applicable, that is held by an Other Holder shall cease to be held by such Other Holder under this Article III if the RSU or Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock, as applicable, would have then ceased to be held by the Grantee if the RSU or Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock had not been Transferred by the Grantee to such Other Holder.

(c)

In the event of a property settlement or separation agreement between the Grantee and his or her spouse, the Grantee agrees that he or she shall use reasonable efforts to retain all of his or her RSUs and Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock and shall reimburse his or her spouse for any interest he or she may have under this Agreement out of funds, assets or proceeds separate and distinct from his or her interest under this Agreement.

Section 3.5.

Minimum Retained Ownership Requirement

The provisions of this Section 3.5 shall or shall not be applicable to the RSUs granted to the Grantee hereunder as indicated on the RSU Grant Certificate.

(a)

For so long as the Grantee retains his or her Employment, the Grantee (collectively with all Family Related Holders who become Other Holders, if applicable) must continuously hold an aggregate number of Class A Common Stock Equivalents that is at least equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the cumulative amount of (x) all RSUs granted to the Grantee under this Agreement and (y) all other RSUs designated as “public company holdings units” that have been or are hereafter granted to the Grantee under the Plan, in each case that have become vested pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (or similar provision in any other “public company holdings units” grant agreement), prior to any net Settlement permitted by Section 4.5.

(b)

“Class A Common Stock Equivalents” means any combination of: (i) RSUs that are or become vested pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement and Class A Common Stock delivered upon Settlement of any such RSUs (even if they are Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock) and (ii) RSUs designated as “public company holdings units” granted to the Grantee under the Plan that are or become vested pursuant to a provision similar to Section 2.1 of this Agreement and Class A Common Stock delivered upon Settlement of any such RSUs (even if a provision similar to the transfer restrictions on Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock has not yet been satisfied).

(c)

The Administrator may, from time to time, waive the provisions of this Section 3.5, subject to the imposition of any conditions or further requirements, as determined by the Administrator in his sole discretion. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Administrator may impose equivalent transfer restrictions on the Grantee’s other equity, if any, held in KKR Holdings, L.P., the Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates (or any of their respective equity incentive plans) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.5 are waived, and (ii) the Grantee hereby consents in advance to the imposition of such equivalent transfer restrictions for purposes of the governing documents of Grantee’s other equity, if any, held in KKR Holdings, L.P., the Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates (or any of their respective equity incentive plans) to the extent the Administrator waives the application of this Section 3.5 to Class A Common Stock Equivalents.

(d)

Any purported Transfer of any Class A Common Stock that would result in a violation of this Section 3.5 is null and void. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4.7) this Section 3.5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 4.1.

Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, without giving effect to any otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law that would apply the Laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 4.2.

Arbitration

(a)

Any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in New York, New York in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. If the parties to the dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within 30 days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the appointment.

Except as required by Law or as may be reasonably required in connection with ancillary judicial proceedings to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm or challenge an arbitration award, the arbitration proceedings, including any hearings, shall be confidential, and the parties shall not disclose any awards, any materials in the proceedings created for the purpose of the arbitration, or any documents produced by another party in the proceedings not otherwise in the public domain. Judgment on any award rendered by an arbitration tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereover.

(b)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2(a), the Corporation may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling the Grantee to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this clause (b), the Grantee (i) expressly consents to the application of Section 4.2(c) below to any such action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoints the Secretary or General Counsel of the Corporation (or any officer of the Corporation) at the address identified for the Corporation as set forth in Section 4.6 below as such Grantee’s agent for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise such Grantee of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Grantee in any such action or proceeding.

(c)

EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 4.2, OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ANCILLARY TO AN ARBITRATION OR CONTEMPLATED ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT. Such ancillary judicial proceedings include any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm or challenge an arbitration award. The parties acknowledge that the forums designated by this clause (c) have a reasonable relation to this Agreement and to the parties’ relationship with one another. The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding referred to in this Section 4.2 brought in any court referenced therein and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same.

Section 4.3.

Remedies; Recoupment; Right to Set-Off

(a)

The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies. Said rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may have by Law or under the terms of any other applicable agreement.

(b)

To the extent required or advisable, pursuant to the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules promulgated thereunder and any other similar Laws including but not limited to the European Directives 2011/61/EU, 2013/36/EU and 2014/91/EU, the Administrator may specify in any other document or a policy to be incorporated into this Agreement by reference, that the Grantee’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to RSUs awarded hereunder and/or Class A Common Stock delivered to the Grantee in respect of RSUs awarded hereunder shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment.

(c)

The Administrator may set-off any amounts due under this Agreement or otherwise against any amounts which may be owed to the Corporation or its Affiliates by the Grantee under this Agreement, any other relationship or otherwise. The Grantee hereby expressly authorizes the Corporation and its Affiliates to take any and all actions on the Grantee’s behalf (including, without limitation, payment, credit and satisfaction of amounts owed) in connection with the set-off of any amounts owed to the Corporation or its Affiliates or otherwise.

Section 4.4.

Amendments and Waivers

(a)

This Agreement (including the Definitions contained in Appendix A attached hereto, the RSU Grant Certificate attached as Appendix B hereto, the Additional Terms and Conditions attached as Appendix C hereto, the Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Obligations attached as Appendix D hereto, and any other provisions as may be required to be appended to this Agreement under applicable local Law) may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified only in accordance with Section 4(c) of the Plan or Section 13 of the Plan, as applicable, or as may be required for purposes of compliance or enforceability with applicable local Law; provided, however, that the RSU Grant Certificate shall be deemed amended from time to time to reflect any adjustments provided for under the Plan.

(b)

No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder (other than a failure or delay beyond a period of time specified herein) shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 4.5.

Withholding

Regardless of any action the Corporation or the Designated Service Recipient takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Corporation or the Designated Service Recipient. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Corporation and/or the Designated Service Recipient (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or Settlement of the RSUs, the delivery of Class A Common Stock or a Cash Payment upon Settlement of the RSUs, the lapse of any restrictions imposed on the Grantee’s Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock, the subsequent sale of Class A Common Stock acquired under the Plan and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the RSUs or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Corporation and/or the Designated Service Recipient (or the Affiliate formerly employing, engaging or retaining the Grantee, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation and/or the Designated Service Recipient to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Corporation and/or the Designated Service Recipient, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a)

withholding from the Cash Payment, the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Corporation and/or the Designated Service Recipient; or

(b)

withholding from proceeds of the sale of Class A Common Stock delivered upon Settlement of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Corporation (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or

(c)

withholding in Class A Common Stock to be delivered upon Settlement of the RSUs.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Corporation may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Class A Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to the Settled Class A Common Stock, notwithstanding that a number of shares of Class A Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Corporation or the Designated Service Recipient any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Corporation or the Designated Service Recipient may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Corporation may refuse to issue or deliver Class A Common Stock, the Cash Payment or the proceeds of the sale of Class A Common Stock, if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

Section 4.6.

Entire Agreement; Termination of Agreement; Survival

(a)

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, pertaining thereto. The Grantee acknowledges that the grant of RSUs provided for under this Agreement is in full satisfaction of any and all grants of equity or equity-based awards that representatives of the Corporation or its Affiliates, on or prior to the date hereof, may have informed the Grantee that such Grantee is entitled to receive.

(b)

This Agreement shall terminate when the Grantee and all Other Holders cease to hold any of the RSUs or Transfer Restricted Class A Common Stock that have been granted or delivered, as applicable, hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Article IV shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.8.

Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 4.9.

Interpretation; Defined Terms; Section 409A; Employment with Designated Service Recipient; Headings

(a)

Throughout this Agreement, nouns, pronouns and verbs shall be construed as masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, whichever shall be applicable. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to “Articles,” “Sections” and clauses shall refer to corresponding provisions of this Agreement. The word “including” is not meant to be exclusive, but rather shall mean “including without limitation” wherever used in this Agreement. Reference to “hereto”, “herein” and similar words is to this entire Agreement (including any Appendices) and not a particular sentence or section of this Agreement. All references to “date” and “time” shall mean the applicable date (other than a Saturday or Sunday or any day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is closed or any day on which banks in the city of New York, New York are required to close, in which case such date refers to the next occurring date that is not described in this parenthetical) or time in New York, New York.

(b)

This Section 4.12(b) applies to Grantees who are U.S. tax residents (such as, a U.S. citizen, greencard holder or a U.S. tax resident under the substantial presence test) to the extent applicable. All references to any “separation from service” or termination of the Employment of, or the services to be provided by, the Grantee, shall be deemed to refer to a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, if applicable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if at the time of the Grantee’s termination of Employment the Grantee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or delivery of Class A Common Stock otherwise payable or provided hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then the Corporation will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or delivery hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or delivery of Class A Common Stock ultimately paid or provided to the Grantee) until the date that is six months following the Grantee’s termination of Employment (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A) and (ii) if any other payments or other deliveries due to the Grantee hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, such payments or other deliveries shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other delivery compliant under Section 409A, or otherwise such payment or other delivery shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the Administrator, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. The Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 4.12(b) in good faith; provided that none of the Corporation, the Administrator nor any of the Corporation’s, KKR Group’s employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to the Grantee with respect to this Section 4.12(b).

(c)

For the avoidance of doubt, any references to the Employment of the Grantee in this Agreement refer solely to the Employment of the Grantee by the Designated Service Recipient or any other member of the KKR Group. The grant of RSUs under this Agreement in no way implies any Employment relationship with the Corporation or with any other member of the KKR Group, other than the Designated Service Recipient with which a formal Employment relationship is currently in effect with the Grantee, or any other member of the KKR Group with which a formal Employment relationship is currently in effect with the Grantee. If the Grantee changes Employment from the Designated Service Recipient as of the Grant Date to another member of the KKR Group, references to Designated Service Recipient hereunder shall refer to such other member of the KKR Group with which the Grantee has Employment.

(d)

The headings and subheadings in this Agreement are included for convenience and identification only and are in no way intended to describe, interpret, define or limit the scope, extent or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Capitalized terms contained in this Appendix C and not defined herein shall have the same meaning as such terms are defined in the Agreement into which this Appendix C is incorporated by reference therein and to which this Appendix C is attached, or the Plan, as applicable.

1.	Data Privacy

The Grantee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Designated Service Recipient, the Corporation and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

The Grantee understands that the Corporation and the Designated Service Recipient may hold certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number (e.g. resident registration number), salary, nationality, job title, any Class A Common Stock or directorships held in the Corporation, details of all RSUs or any other entitlement to Class A Common Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

The Grantee understands that Data will be transferred to any third parties assisting the Corporation with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Grantee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Grantee’s country. The Grantee understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Grantee authorizes the Corporation, its subsidiaries, the Designed Service Recipient and any other possible recipients which may assist the Corporation (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan.

The Grantee understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, the Grantee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Grantee does not consent, or if the Grantee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Grantee’s employment status or service and career with the Designated Service Recipient will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Grantee’s consent is that the Corporation would not be able to grant him or her RSUs or other awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Grantee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Grantee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Grantee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

10.	Representations; Warranties; Other Agreements.

The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee will derive material financial and other benefits from the Grantee’s employment, engagement, association or other similar affiliation with the KKR Group, and that the restrictions contained herein are reasonable in all circumstances and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company, to have and enjoy the full benefit of its business interests and goodwill.

12.	Injunctive Relief; Third Party Beneficiaries.

The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the remedies of the Corporation and the Designated Service Recipient at law for any breach of this Appendix D would be inadequate and that for any breach of this Appendix D, the Designated Service Recipient may terminate your employment, engagement, association or other similar affiliation with the Company and shall, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to it at law or in equity, or as provided for in this Appendix D, be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting a bond, restraining the Grantee from committing or continuing to commit any violation of this Appendix D. The Grantee further acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation and the Designated Service Recipient shall not be required to prove, or offer proof, that monetary damages for a breach of this Appendix D would be difficult to calculate and that any remedies at law would be inadequate for any breach of this Appendix D. The parties intend, acknowledge, and agree that each member of the KKR Group is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and is authorized to enforce any provision hereof by delivering a written statement expressing the intent to enforce the provisions hereof to the Grantee or the Designated Service Recipient.

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any party, of 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 hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The waiver of any particular right, remedy, power or privilege shall not affect or impair the rights, remedies, powers or privileges of any person with respect to any subsequent default of the same or of a different kind by any party hereunder. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. No waiver of any provision hereto shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the person asserted to have granted such waiver.

14.	Assignment.

This Appendix D may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, except that the consent of the Grantee shall be deemed to have been given to the Corporation and the Designated Service Recipient (and the Grantee acknowledges that the Corporation and the Designated Service Recipient shall therefore have the right without further consent) to assign its rights hereunder, in whole or in part, to (i) any member of the KKR Group that becomes a Designated Service Recipient or (ii) any person who is a successor of the Corporation or the Designated Service Recipient by merger, consolidation or purchase of all or substantially all of its assets, in which case such assignee shall be substituted for the Corporation and the Designated Service Recipient hereunder with respect to the provisions so assigned and be bound under this Appendix D and by the terms of the assignment in the same manner as the Corporation and the Designated Service Recipient was bound hereunder. Any purported assignment of this Appendix D in violation of this section shall be null and void.

Prior to filing a Request for Arbitration or an Answer under the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC, as the case may be, the Corporation or the Designated Service Recipient may, in its sole discretion, require all Disputes or any specific Dispute to be heard by a court of law in accordance with paragraph (e) below and, for the purposes of this paragraph (b), each party expressly consents to the application of paragraphs (e) and (f) below to any such suit, action or proceeding. If an arbitration proceeding has already been commenced in connection with a Dispute at the time that the Corporation or the Designated Service Recipient commences such proceedings in accordance with this paragraph (b), such Dispute shall be withdrawn from arbitration.

(c)

Subject to paragraph (b) above, either party may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of law (or, if applicable, equity) for the purpose of compelling a party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this paragraph (c), each party expressly consents to the application of paragraphs (e) and (f) below to any such suit, action or proceeding.

(d)

Except as required by law or as may be reasonably required in connection with judicial proceedings to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration or to confirm or challenge an arbitration award, the arbitration proceedings, including any hearings, shall be confidential, and the parties shall not disclose any awards, any materials in the proceedings created for the purpose of the arbitration or any documents produced by another party in the proceedings not otherwise in the public domain. Judgment on any award rendered by an arbitration tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereover.

(e)

EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS AND AGREES TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS, AND VENUE, LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPHS (B) OR (C) ABOVE. The parties acknowledge that the forum designated by this paragraph (e) has a reasonable relation to this Appendix D, and to the parties' relationship with one another. The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in the preceding sentence or pursuant to paragraphs (b) or (c) above and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same.

(f)

The parties agree that if a suit, action or proceeding is brought under paragraphs (b) or (c) proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Appendix D would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and they irrevocably appoint the Secretary or General Counsel of the Corporation or the Designated Service Recipient or an officer of the Corporation or the Designated Service Recipient (at the then-current principal business address of the Corporation or the Designated Service Recipient) as such party’s agent for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise such party of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the party in any such action or proceeding.

D-10

17.	Entire Agreement.

This Appendix D contains the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Appendix D and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with the Corporation, the Company, or KKR Holdings L.P. with respect to the subject matter of this Appendix D (including but not limited to any prior grant agreement for an equity award under the Plan that contains one or more appendices with respect to the subject matter of this Appendix D) or any Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Agreement previously executed with the Corporation, the Company or KKR Holdings L.P. The express terms of this Appendix D control and supersede any course of performance and any usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms of this Appendix D.

18.	Severability.

Notwithstanding Section 13 or any other provision of this Appendix D to the contrary, any provision of this Appendix D that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction (including but not limited to the application, if applicable, of Rule 5.6 of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct (or successor rule)) shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. In such event, the invalid provision shall be partially enforced, reformed or substituted with a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and the economic effect of the invalid provision to give effect to the provision to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case. Grantee specifically acknowledges that Grantee has been provided with valuable consideration in exchange for the covenants set forth herein and, accordingly, such partial enforcement or reformation is necessary to avoid frustrating the Company’s purpose in awarding the Grantee such consideration.

19.	Interpretation.

Notwithstanding anything contained in Article IV of the Agreement, the provisions of Sections 10 through 19 (inclusive) of this Appendix D shall govern with respect to, and shall be applicable only to the interpretation, administration and enforcement of, the provisions of this Appendix D, and shall not govern or otherwise apply to, or have any administrative or interpretive effect on, any other provisions of the remainder of the Agreement or any other of its Appendices.

3.	Class A Common Stock Subject to the Plan

Subject to Section 9 hereof, the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be available for issuance under the Plan shall be equal to the total number of Common Units available under the Original Plan immediately prior to the Conversion Time (the “Original Plan Amount”), of which all or any portion may be issued as Class A Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, beginning with the first fiscal year of the Corporation commencing after the Conversion Time and continuing with each subsequent fiscal year of the Corporation occurring thereafter, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by the Plan will be increased, on the first day of each fiscal year of the Corporation occurring during the term of the Plan and commencing after the Conversion Time, by a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the positive difference, if any, of (x) 15% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock (determined on a fully converted and diluted basis) outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year of the Corporation minus (y) the Original Plan Amount, as such amount may have been increased by this sentence in any prior fiscal year, unless the Administrator should decide to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by the Plan by a lesser amount on any such date. The issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock or the payment of cash upon the exercise of an Award or any Pre-Listing Award or in consideration of the settlement, cancellation or termination of an Award or any Pre-Listing Award shall reduce the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by and available for issuance under the Plan, as applicable (with any Awards or Pre-Listing Awards settled in cash reducing the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined by dividing the cash amount to be paid thereunder by the Fair Market Value of one share of Class A Common Stock on the date of payment), and the issuance of Group Partnership Units in consideration of the settlement, cancellation or termination of any Pre-Listing Award shall reduce the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by and available for issuance under the Plan by a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Group Partnership Units so issued multiplied by the Exchange Rate (as defined in the Employee Exchange Agreement). Shares of Class A Common Stock which are subject to Awards which are cancelled, forfeited, terminated or otherwise expired by their terms without the payment of consideration, and shares of Class A Common Stock which are used to pay the exercise price of any Award, may be granted again subject to Awards under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, shares of Class A Common Stock which are subject to Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights which are withheld to pay tax withholding obligations will be deemed not to have been delivered and will be available for further Awards under the Plan.

E-4

For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that, as of a particular date, will be considered to be “covered by” the Plan will be equal to the sum of (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to the Plan but which are not subject to an outstanding Award or Pre-Listing Award as of such date, (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to outstanding Awards or Pre-Listing Awards as of such date and (iii) the number of Group Partnership Units subject to outstanding Pre-Listing Awards as of such date multiplied by the Exchange Rate (as defined in the Employee Exchange Agreement) as in effect on such date. For purposes of this Section 3, (A) an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that has been granted under the Plan or the Pre-Listing Plan will be considered to be an “outstanding” Award or Pre-Listing Award, as applicable, until it is exercised or cancelled, forfeited, terminated or otherwise expires by its terms, (B) a share of Class A Common Stock that has been granted as an Award under the Plan that is subject to vesting conditions will be considered an “outstanding” Award until the vesting conditions have been satisfied or the Award otherwise terminates or expires unvested by its terms, (C) a Group Partnership Unit that has been granted as a Pre-Listing Award under the Pre-Listing Plan that is subject to vesting conditions will be considered an “outstanding” Pre-Listing Award until the vesting conditions have been satisfied or the Pre-Listing Award otherwise terminates or expires unvested by its terms and (D) any Award or Pre-Listing Award other than an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, share of Class A Common Stock or Group Partnership Unit that is subject to vesting conditions will be considered to be an “outstanding” Award or Pre-Listing Award, as applicable, until it has been settled.

4.	Administration

(a) Administration and Delegation. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator. The Administrator may delegate the authority to grant Awards under the Plan to any employee or group of employees of the Corporation or of any Affiliate of the Corporation; provided that such delegation and grants are consistent with applicable law and guidelines established by the Board from time to time. The Administrator may delegate the day-to-day administration of the Plan to any employee or group of employees of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates or a nationally recognized third-party stock plan administrator.

(b) Substitution of Prior Awards. Awards may, in the discretion of the Administrator, be made under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by the Corporation, any Affiliate of the Corporation or any entity acquired by the Corporation or with which the Corporation combines. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying such substitute awards shall be counted against the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for Awards under the Plan.

(c) Interpretation; Corrections; Final and Binding Decisions. The Administrator is authorized to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make any other determinations that it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Administrator may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or Award agreement in the manner and to the extent the Administrator deems necessary or desirable, without the consent of any Participant. Any decision of the Administrator in the interpretation and administration of the Plan, as described herein, shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned (including, but not limited to, Participants and their beneficiaries and successors).

(d) Establishment of Award Terms. The Administrator shall have the full power and authority to establish the terms and conditions of any Award consistent with the provisions of the Plan and to waive any such terms and conditions at any time (including, without limitation, accelerating or waiving any vesting conditions).

E-5

(e) Payment of Taxes Due. The Administrator shall require payment of any amount it may determine to be necessary to withhold for federal, state, local or other taxes as a result of the exercise, grant or vesting of an Award. To the extent that such withholding arises in connection with the settlement of an Award with Class A Common Stock, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, cause such payments to be funded by reducing the Class A Common Stock delivered upon settlement by an amount of Class A Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of payments that would then be due (and if an Award is settled in cash, the Administrator may withhold cash in respect to such taxes due). The Administrator shall establish the manner in which any such tax obligation may be satisfied by the Participant.

5.	Limitations

No Award may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date.

6.	Terms and Conditions of Options

Options granted under the Plan shall be non‑qualified options for federal income tax purposes, and shall be subject to the foregoing and the following terms and conditions and to such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent therewith, as the Administrator shall determine:

(a) Option Price. The Option Price per share of Class A Common Stock shall be determined by the Administrator, provided that, solely for the purposes of an Option granted under the Plan to a Participant who is a U.S. taxpayer, in no event will the Option Price be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date an Option is granted.

(b) Exercisability. Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Administrator, but in no event shall an Option be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in an Award agreement, an Option may be exercised for all, or from time to time any part, of the shares of Class A Common Stock for which it is then exercisable. For purposes of this Section 6 of the Plan, the exercise date of an Option shall be the later of the date a notice of exercise is received by the Corporation and, if applicable, the date payment is received by the Corporation pursuant to clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) in the following sentence.

(ii) The Option Price for share of the Class A Common Stock as to which an Option is exercised shall be paid to the Corporation, and in the manner designated by the Administrator, pursuant to one or more of the following methods: (A) in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by personal check); (B) in Class A Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the shares of Class A Common Stock being purchased and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by the Administrator; provided that such Class A Common Stock have been held by the Participant for such period as may be established from time to time by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment applying generally accepted accounting principles; (C) partly in cash and partly in such Class A Common Stock; (D) if there is a public market for the Class A Common Stock at such time, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Class A Common Stock obtained upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Corporation an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Class A Common Stock being purchased, or (E) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, through net settlement in Class A Common Stock.

E-6

(iii) To the extent compliant with applicable laws, no Participant shall have any rights to distributions or other rights of a holder with respect to Class A Common Stock subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full the Option Price for such Class A Common Stock and, if applicable, has satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Administrator pursuant to the Plan.

(d) Attestation. Wherever in this Plan or any agreement evidencing an Award a Participant is permitted to pay the Option Price of an Option or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering Class A Common Stock, the Participant may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Administrator, satisfy such delivery requirement by presenting proof of beneficial ownership of such Class A Common Stock, in which case the Corporation shall treat the Option as exercised without further payment and/or shall withhold such number of shares of Class A Common Stock from the Class A Common Stock acquired by the exercise of the Option, as appropriate.

7.	Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights

(a) Grants. The Administrator may grant (i) a Stock Appreciation Right independent of an Option or (ii) a Stock Appreciation Right in connection with an Option, or a portion thereof. A Stock Appreciation Right granted pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence (A) may be granted at the time the related Option is granted or at any time prior to the exercise or cancellation of the related Option, (B) shall cover the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by an Option (or such lesser number of shares of Class A Common Stock as the Administrator may determine) and (C) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as such Option except for such additional limitations as are contemplated by this Section 7 (or such additional limitations as may be included in an Award agreement).

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Class A Common Stock of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be an amount determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, the exercise price may not be less than the Option Price of the related Option; provided, further that, solely for the purposes of a Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan to a Participant who is a U.S. taxpayer, in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right that was not granted in conjunction with an Option, the exercise price per Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted.

(c) Terms of Grant: Each Stock Appreciation Right granted independent of an Option shall entitle a Participant upon exercise to an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of Class A Common Stock over (B) the exercise price per share of Class A Common Stock, times (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by the Stock Appreciation Right. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, shall entitle a Participant to surrender to the Corporation the unexercised Option, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Corporation in exchange therefore an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of Class A Common Stock over (B) the Option Price per share of Class A Common Stock, times (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by the Option, or portion thereof, which is surrendered. Payment shall be made in Class A Common Stock or in cash, or partly in Class A Common Stock and partly in cash (any such Class A Common Stock valued at such Fair Market Value), all as shall be determined by the Administrator.

E-7

(d) Exercisability: Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised from time to time upon actual receipt by the Corporation of written notice of exercise stating the number of shares of Class A Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. The date a notice of exercise is received by the Corporation shall be the exercise date. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine that no fractional Class A Common Stock will be issued in payment for Stock Appreciation Rights, but instead cash will be paid for the fractional Class A Common Stock and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be delivered will be rounded downward to the next whole share of Class A Common Stock.

(e) Limitations. The Administrator may impose, in its discretion, such conditions upon the exercisability of Stock Appreciation Rights as it may deem fit, but in no event shall a Stock Appreciation Right be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted..

8.	Other Stock-Based Awards

The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may grant or sell Awards of Class A Common Stock, restricted Class A Common Stock, deferred restricted Class A Common Stock, phantom restricted Class A Common Stock or other Class A Common Stock-based awards based in whole or in part on the Fair Market Value of the Class A Common Stock (“Other Stock-Based Awards”). Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Administrator shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive, or vest with respect to, one or more shares of Class A Common Stock (or the equivalent cash value of such Class A Common Stock) upon the completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of performance objectives. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Awards granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator shall determine to whom and when Other Stock-Based Awards will be made, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Other Stock-Based Awards; whether such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, Class A Common Stock, or other assets or a combination of cash, Class A Common Stock and other assets; and all other terms and conditions of such Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all Class A Common Stock so awarded and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable).

9.	Adjustments Upon Certain Events

Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to all Awards granted under the Plan:

E-8

(a) Equity Restructurings. In the event of any extraordinary Class A Common Stock distribution or split, recapitalization, rights offering, split-up or spin-off or any other event that constitutes an “equity restructuring” (as defined under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification 718) with respect to the Class A Common Stock, the Administrator shall, in the manner determined appropriate or desirable by the Administrator and without liability to any person, adjust any or all of (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation (or number and kind of other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan, and (ii) the terms of outstanding Awards, including, but not limited to (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate, (B) the Option Price or exercise price of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right and (C) any performance targets or other applicable terms.

(b) Mergers, Reorganizations and Other Corporate Transactions. In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, repurchase or exchange of Class A Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Class A Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation, or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects the Class A Common Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator in its discretion to be appropriate or desirable, the Administrator in its sole discretion and without liability to any person shall make such substitution or adjustment, if any, as it deems to be equitable as to (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation (or number and kind of other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan, and (ii) the terms of any outstanding Award, including (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate, (B) the Option Price or exercise price of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right and (C) any performance targets or other applicable terms.

(c) Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control after the Effective Date, (i) if determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award agreement or otherwise, any outstanding Awards then held by Participants which are unexercisable or otherwise unvested or subject to lapse restrictions shall automatically be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested or no longer subject to lapse restrictions, as the case may be, as of immediately prior to such Change in Control and (ii) the Administrator may (subject to Sections 16 and 18), but shall not be obligated to: (A) accelerate, vest or cause the restrictions to lapse with respect to all or any portion of an Award; (B) cancel such Awards for fair value (as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator) which, in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, may equal the excess, if any, of value of the consideration to be paid in the Change in Control transaction to holders of the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (or, if no consideration is paid in any such transaction, the Fair Market Value of the Class A Common Stock subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights) over the aggregate exercise price of such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights; (C) provide that any Options or Stock Appreciation Right having an exercise price per share of Class A Common Stock that is greater than the per share value of the consideration to be paid in the Change in Control transaction to a holder of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor; (D) provide for the issuance of substitute Awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable terms of any affected Awards previously granted hereunder as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion; or (E) provide that for a period of at least 15 days prior to the Change in Control, such Options shall be exercisable as to all shares subject thereto and that upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, such Options shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

E-9

10.	No Right to Employment or Awards

The granting of an Award under the Plan shall impose no obligation on the Corporation’s or any Affiliate to continue the Employment of a Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Corporation’s or Affiliate’s right to terminate the Employment of such Participant. No Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award (including as a result of recurring prior Award), and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. No Award shall constitute compensation for purposes of determining any benefits under any benefit plan. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Administrator’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated).

11.	Successors and Assigns

The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Corporation and a Participant, including without limitation, the estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s creditors.

12.	Nontransferability of Awards

Unless otherwise determined or approved by the Administrator, an Award shall not be transferable or assignable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any transfer or assignment in violation of the prior sentence shall be null and void. An Award exercisable after the death of a Participant may be exercised by the legatees, personal representatives or distributees of the Participant.

13.	Amendments or Termination

The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan or any outstanding Award, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made, without the consent of a Participant, if such action would materially diminish any of the rights of the Participant under any Award theretofore granted to such Participant under the Plan; provided, however, that the Administrator may without the Participant’s consent (a) amend the Plan or any outstanding Award in such manner as it deems necessary to permit the granting of Awards meeting the requirements of the Code or other applicable laws (including, without limitation, to avoid adverse tax consequences to the Corporation or to Participants as provided in Section 14 and Section 18 below), and (b) amend any outstanding Awards in a manner that is not adverse (other than in a de minimis manner) to a Participant, except as otherwise may be permitted pursuant to Section 9 hereof or as is otherwise contemplated pursuant to the terms of the Award, without the Participant’s consent.

14.	International Participants

With respect to Participants who reside or work outside the United States of America, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, amend the terms of the Plan or Awards with respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms with the requirements of local law or to obtain more favorable tax or other treatment for a Participant, the Corporation or an Affiliate.

E-10

15.	Choice of Law

The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York without giving effect to any otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law that would apply the laws of another jurisdiction.

16.	Other Laws; Restrictions on Transfer of Class A Common Stock

The Administrator may refuse to issue or transfer any Class A Common Stock or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Class A Common Stock or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation or entitle the Corporation to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Act, as amended, and any payment tendered to the Corporation by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Award granted hereunder shall be construed as an offer to sell securities of the Corporation, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Administrator in its sole discretion has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all applicable requirements of the United States federal and any other applicable securities laws.

17.	Effectiveness of the Plan

The Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date.

18.	Section 409A

To the extent applicable, this Plan and Awards issued hereunder shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretative guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding other provisions of the Plan or any Award agreements issued thereunder, no Award shall be granted, deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out or modified under this Plan in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a Participant. In the event that it is reasonably determined by the Administrator that, as a result of Section 409A of the Code, payments in respect of any Award under the Plan may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms of the Plan or the relevant Award agreement, as the case may be, without causing the Participant holding such Award to be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code, consistent with the provisions of Section 13(a) above, the Corporation may take whatever actions the Administrator determines necessary or appropriate to comply with, or exempt the Plan and Award agreement from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and other interpretive materials as may be issued after the Effective Date including, without limitation, (a) adopting such amendments to the Plan and Awards and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Administrator determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by the Plan and Awards hereunder and/or (b) taking such other actions as the Administrator determines necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, which action may include, but is not limited to, delaying payment to a Participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code until the first day following the six-month period beginning on the date of the Participant’s termination of Employment. The Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 18 in good faith; provided that neither the Corporation, the Administrator nor any employee, director or representative of the Corporation or of any of its Affiliates shall have any liability to Participants with respect to this Section 18.
