(iii) if the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) (in connection with a distribution of such property) or (f) (in connection with a revaluation of Capital Accounts), then the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property;

(iv) if property that is reflected on the books of the Company has a Book Value that differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property, then depreciation, amortization and gain or loss with respect to such property shall be determined by reference to such Book Value; and

(v) the computation of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense shall be made without regard to any election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code that may be made by the Company, unless the adjustment to basis of Company property pursuant to such election is reflected in Capital Accounts pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m).

Section 8.4 Negative Capital Accounts. No Member shall be required to pay to the Company or any other Member any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Member’s Capital Account.

Section 8.5 Adjustments to Book Value. The Company shall adjust the Book Value of its assets to fair market value in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section l.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(f) as of the following times: (a) at the Board of Directors’ discretion, in connection with the issuance of Shares and the computation of NAV; (b) at the Board of Directors’ discretion, in connection with the distribution by the Company to a Member of more than a de minimis amount of Company assets, including cash, if as a result of such distribution, such Member’s interest in the Company is reduced (including a redemption); and (c) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(g). Any such increase or decrease in Book Value of an asset made pursuant to Section 8.5(a) or (b) shall, as a matter of administrative convenience, occur on a quarterly basis to take into consideration the contributions by and distributions to Members over the course of a given quarter. Furthermore, any such increase or decrease in Book Value of an asset shall be allocated as a Profit or Loss to the Capital

Accounts of the Members under Section 9.2 (determined immediately prior to the issuance of the new Shares or the distribution of assets in an ownership reduction transaction).

Section 8.6 Compliance With Section 1.704-1(b). The provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Section 1.704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. If the Board of Directors determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Company or any Member), are computed in order to comply with such regulations, the Board of Directors may make such modification, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amount distributable to any Member pursuant to Section 9.1 on the dissolution of the Company. The Board of Directors also shall (a) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Members and the amount of Company capital reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(iv)(g), and (b) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b).

Section 8.7 Transfer of Capital Accounts. The original Capital Account established for each substituted Member shall be in the same amount as the Capital Account of the Member (or portion thereof) to which such substituted Member succeeds, at the time such substituted Member is admitted to the Company. The Capital Account of any Member whose interest in the Company shall be increased or decreased by means of the transfer of Shares. Any reference in this Agreement to a Capital Contribution of or distribution to a Member that has succeeded any other Member shall include any Capital Contributions or distributions previously made by or to the former Member on account of its Shares.

ARTICLE IX

DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

Section 9.1 Generally.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 18-607 and 18-804 of the Act and the payment or allocation of the Performance Participation Allocation and any Tax Distributions, the Board of Directors shall have sole discretion regarding the amounts and timing of distributions to Members, in each case subject to the retention of, or payment to third parties of, such funds or reserves as the Board of Directors deems necessary with respect to anticipated business needs of the Company which shall include (but not by way of limitation) the payment or the making of provision for the payment when due of Company obligations, including the payment of any management or administrative fees and expenses or any other obligations.

(b) Company distributions may exceed Company earnings and cash flow from operating activities and may be paid from borrowings, offering proceeds and other sources.

(c) Subject to the rights of any holders of Shares specified in any Class Designation and the terms of any Class of Shares specified herein or in any Class Designation, distributions of cash shall be paid to the holders of record of such Shares as of the applicable record date established by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 11.3(c) pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests on such record date.

(d) Cash distributions to holders of Shares pursuant to Section 9.1(c) are subject to the terms of the DRIP and such cash distributions will automatically be reinvested under the DRIP in additional whole and fractional Shares unless such holders have elected in their Subscription Agreement to receive distributions in cash. Members may terminate their participation in the DRIP with prior written notice to the Company. Under the DRIP, distributions in respect of Shares are reinvested in Shares of the same Class for a purchase price equal to the most recently available NAV per Share.

(e) The DRIP in effect as of the date hereof is attached as Schedule B to this Agreement. The Board of Directors may, without the consent of any Person, amend, modify, revise or restate the DRIP from time to time and any such amendment, modification, revision or restatement of the DRIP shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no distribution shall be made to a Member if and to the extent that such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.

Section 9.2 Allocation of Profit and Loss.

(a) For each fiscal year of the Company, after adjusting each Member’s Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions during such fiscal year and all special allocations pursuant to Section 9.3 with respect to such fiscal year, all Profits and Losses (including special allocations of distribution fees and other than Profits and Losses specially allocated pursuant to Section 9.3) shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in a manner such that, as of the end of such fiscal year, the Capital Account of each Member (which may be either a positive or negative balance) shall be equal to the amount which would be distributed to such Member if the Company were to liquidate all of its assets for the Book Value thereof and distributed the proceeds thereof pursuant to the order of priorities set forth herein, minus such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical liquidation of the Company’s assets.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager may make such allocations as it deems reasonably necessary to give economic effect to the provision of this Agreement, taking into account such facts and circumstances as it deems reasonably necessary for this purpose.

(b) The Company shall separately track and reflect on its books and records Company Expenses allocable to a single Class (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Management Fee), as determined by the Manager in good faith, and allocate such Company Expenses to such Class.

Section 9.3 Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.2:

(a) Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members, pro rata in proportion to the value of their respective interests in the Company, as determined by the Board of Directors. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any taxable year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of taxable income or gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g) (subject to the exceptions thereunder). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-

2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any taxable year, each Member that has a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated items of taxable income or gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (subject to the exceptions thereunder). Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of taxable income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account deficit (determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)) created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This paragraph is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) No allocation of Loss shall be made pursuant to Section 9.2 to the extent that it causes or increases a deficit balance in any Member’s Adjusted Capital Account. To the extent any allocation of Loss would cause the Adjusted Capital Account balance of any of the Members to have a deficit balance, such Loss shall be allocated to the Members with positive balances in their Adjusted Capital Accounts in proportion with such relative positive Adjusted Capital Account balances.

(e) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 9.3 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Profits and Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits and Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations (including Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are expected to be made in the future) to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

Section 9.4 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to Section 9.10 from any distribution to a Member shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 9.1 for all purposes under this Agreement.

Section 9.5 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c).

(a) The income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses of the Company shall be allocated, for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses shall be allocated among the Members so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocations set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager in its sole discretion shall make such allocations for tax purposes as may be needed to ensure that allocations are in accordance with the interests of the Members and in a manner intended to give economic effect to the provisions of this Agreement, within the meaning of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Board of Directors shall determine all matters concerning allocations for U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax

purposes not expressly provided for herein in its sole discretion. In the event that the Company’s Shares are repurchased pursuant to Sections 7.7, 10.8 or 10.9 of this Agreement, the Board of Directors may specially allocate additional items of ordinary income or loss or capital gain (including short-term capital gain) or loss to a withdrawing Member insofar as is possible to reduce the difference, if any, between the aggregate amounts allocated to such Member’s Capital Account and the aggregate amount of tax items allocated to such Member. For purposes of the foregoing, the Board of Directors may determine that an equitable method of allocation includes, without limitation, an allocation (i) pro rata based on the relative differences between amounts allocated to the Capital Accounts and the aggregate amounts of tax items allocated to the relevant Members, or (ii) solely to the relevant Members with the greatest such differences (taking into account such allocations).

(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution using any reasonable method (including the “traditional method”) provided for in the Treasury Regulations as selected by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

(c) If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 8.5, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c). Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Board of Directors in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intent of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 9.5 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event the Class H Member is allocated income or gain for tax purposes in connection with its rights to receive a Performance Participation Allocation prior to a corresponding receipt of cash, the Class H Member shall be entitled to distributions from the Partnership in amounts equal to the U.S. federal, state and local income tax imposed on such allocations calculated using the Assumed Tax Rate, and any non-U.S. income tax imposed on such allocations (“Tax Distributions”); provided that such distributions will be made in the sole discretion of the Manager. Amounts the Class H Member is otherwise entitled to hereunder and the Performance Participation Allocation shall be reduced by the amount of any prior Tax Distributions made to the Class H Member pursuant to this Section 9.5(d) until all such advances are restored in full.

Section 9.6 Allocation of Income and Loss. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit allocable to any interest in the Company shall be allocated on a monthly basis based upon the results of Company operations during such month, without regard to whether cash distributions were made to the Member during such calendar month; however, such allocation shall be made in accordance with a method permissible under Code Section 704(c) and the regulations thereunder.

Section 9.7 Preparation of Tax Returns. The Board of Directors shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns with respect to Company income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Company for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable effort to furnish the tax information reasonably required by Members for U.S. federal and state income tax reporting purposes pursuant to Article XII.

Section 9.8 Tax Elections. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Manager shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code. The Manager shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election, including any election related to the matters described in Section 3.2 upon the Manager’s determination in its sole discretion.

Section 9.9 Tax Matters.

(a) The Board of Directors shall designate the “partnership representative” (the “Partnership Representative”) within the meaning of Section 6223(a) of the Code with respect to operations conducted by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. The Partnership Representative, subject to prior approval by the Board of Directors, is authorized and required to represent the Company (at the expense of the Company) in connection with all examinations of the affairs of the Company by any U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities, including any resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, to expend funds of the Company for professional services and costs associated therewith and may act as or appoint an individual to act as a “designated individual” on behalf, and subject to the direction and control, of the Partnership Representative in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 301.6223-1. The Partnership Representative, subject to prior approval by the Board of Directors, shall be authorized to take any actions necessary under the Code (or any similar state, local or non-U.S. law) that it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including making an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code with respect to any imputed underpayment. This Section 9.9 shall survive the dissolution, winding-up and termination of the Company, and each Member’s obligations pursuant to this Section 9.9 shall survive such Member’s ceasing to be a Member of the Company.

Section 9.10 Withholding. Each Member hereby indemnifies the Company for and authorizes the Company to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. taxes that the Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, including any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Company, including pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446, 1471, 1472 or 6226 of the Code. This Section 9.10 shall survive the dissolution, winding-up and termination of the Company, and each Member’s obligations pursuant to this Section 9.10 shall survive such Member’s ceasing to be a Member of the Company.

RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP OF UNITS

Section 10.1 Resignation of a Member. Other than as provided in Section 10.8 with respect to KKR Members, a Member may resign from the Company only by having all of such Member’s Shares repurchased pursuant to Section 10.9 or pursuant to the Share Repurchase Plan, Company Tender Offers or the Repurchase Arrangement, as applicable, or by Assigning all of such Member’s Shares in accordance with this Article X. The resignation of a Member shall not, in and of itself, dissolve or terminate the Company. In the event that a Member ceases to be a member of the Company because of death, legal incompetence, dissolution or other termination, the estate, legal representative or successor of such Member shall be deemed to be the Assignee of the Shares of such Member and may become a Substitute Member only upon compliance with the provisions of Section 10.3. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no Class G Share may be redeemed, repurchased, Assigned, or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the KKR Member that is the holder thereof; and any purported redemption, repurchase, Assignment or other transfer without such consent shall be null and void to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 10.2 Assignment.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.2(b) and (c), 10.3 and 10.5 of this Agreement, any Member may Assign all or any portion of the Shares owned by such Member to an Assignee; provided, that:

(i) such Member and such Assignee shall each execute a written Assignment instrument, which shall:

(A) set forth the terms of such Assignment;

(B) evidence the acceptance by the Assignee to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

(C) include a representation by both such Member and such Assignee that such Assignment was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations (including such minimum investment and investor suitability requirements as may then be applicable under state securities laws); and

(D) otherwise be satisfactory in form and substance to the Board of Directors.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Board of Directors shall specifically consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, no Shares may be Assigned:

(i) to a minor or incompetent (unless a guardian, custodian or conservator has been appointed to handle the affairs of such Person);

(ii) to any Person if such Assignment would affect the Company’s existence or qualification as a limited liability company under the Act or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction in which the Company is then conducting business;

(iii) to any Person not permitted to be an Assignee under applicable law, including applicable federal and state securities laws;

(iv) if such Assignment would result in the transfer of less than 1 Share (unless such Assignment is of all of the Shares owned by such Member);

(v) if such Assignment would result in the retention by such Member of less than 1 Share; or

(vi) if, in the reasonable belief of the Board of Directors, such Assignment might violate applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Shares may be Assigned if, in the determination of the Board of Directors, such Assignment would not be in the best interests of the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any attempt to make any Assignment of Shares in violation of this Section 10.2(b) shall be null and void ab initio.

(c) Assignments made in accordance with this Section 10.2 shall be considered consummated upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions of this Section 10.2 shall have been satisfied.

Section 10.3 Substitution.

(a) An Assignee shall be admitted to the Company as a Substitute Member upon the applicable Assignment being considered consummated pursuant to Section 10.2(c) and the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) the Board of Directors has reasonably determined that all conditions specified in Section 10.2 have been satisfied and that no adverse effect to the Company does or may result from such admission; and

(ii) such Assignee shall have executed a transfer agreement and such other forms as the Board of Directors reasonably may require to determine compliance with this Article X, and shall be deemed to have authorized and appointed with full power of substitution as its, his or her true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its, his or her name, place and xxxxx, the Manager and the Company, and each of their authorized officers and attorneys-in-fact, as the case may be, to take such actions as set forth in Section 3.3.

(b) An Assignee who does not become a Substitute Member in accordance with this Section 10.3 and who desires to make a further Assignment of its, his or her Shares shall be subject to all the provisions of Article X to the same extent and in the same manner as a Member desiring to make an Assignment of Shares. Failure or refusal of the Board of Directors to admit an Assignee as a Substitute Member shall in no way affect the right of such Assignee to receive distributions and the share of the Profits or Losses for tax purposes to which its, his or her predecessor in interest would have been entitled in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 10.4 Status of an Assigning Member. Any Member that shall Assign all of its, his or her Shares shall be deemed to have resigned from the Company as a Member, cease to be a Member and shall no longer have any of the rights or privileges of a Member.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the following restrictions shall also apply to any and all proposed sales, Assignments and transfer of Shares, and any proposed sale, assignment or transfer in violation of same shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, void ab initio, unless otherwise waived by the Board of Directors.

(a) No Member shall make any transfer or assignment of all or any part of its, his or her Shares if said transfer or assignment, when considered with all other transfers during the same applicable 12 month period, would, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, result in the termination of the Company’s status as a partnership, or cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal or state income tax purposes.

(b) No Member shall make any transfer or assignment of all or any of its, his or her Shares unless the transferee that would have been qualified to purchase Shares in the offering of Shares. The Board of Directors may require that transferees acquire or hold a minimum number of Shares.

(c) Each Member that is a legal entity acknowledges that its management shall have a fiduciary responsibility for the safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of any Assignee to all or a

portion of its interest as a Member, and that the management of each Member that is a legal entity shall not employ, or permit another to employ such funds or assets that are attributable to any Assignee of all or a portion of such Member’s interest as a Member in any manner except for the exclusive benefit of the Assignee. Each Member agrees that it will not contract away the foregoing fiduciary duty.

Section 10.6 Elimination or Modification of Restrictions. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Article X, the Board of Directors may amend this Agreement without the consent of any Person to eliminate or modify any restriction on substitution of Members or assignment of Shares at such time as the restriction is no longer necessary or advisable.

Section 10.7 Records. The Board of Directors shall cause the Membership List to be updated to reflect changes in the Members admitted in accordance with this Agreement, which updates shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement.

Section 10.9 Mandatory Repurchases.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement but subject to the Act, the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Repurchase Committee, may cause the Company to repurchase from time to time all or any portion of the Shares of a Member without the consent or action by such Member or any other Person, on 10 days’ prior written notice, if the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Repurchase Committee, determines that:

(i) the Shares have been transferred in violation of this Agreement, or have vested in any Person by operation of law as a result of the death, divorce, dissolution, termination, bankruptcy, insolvency or adjudicated incompetence of the Member;

(ii) any transferee does not meet any investor eligibility requirements established by the Company from time to time;

(iii) ownership of Shares by a Member or other Person is likely to cause the Company to be in violation of, or require registration of the Shares under, or subject the Company to additional registration or regulation under, the securities, commodities, or other laws of the U.S. or any other jurisdiction in the world, including without limitation the Investment Company Act;

(iv) continued ownership of the Shares by a Member may be harmful or injurious to the business or reputation of the Company, the Manager, KKR, or any of their Affiliates, or may subject the Company or any Member to an undue risk of adverse tax or other fiscal or regulatory consequences;

(v) any of the representations and warranties made by a Member or other Person in connection with the acquisition of Shares was not true when made or has ceased to be true;

(c) From time to time, the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Repurchase Committee, may, in its discretion and without the consent of any other Person, assign the Company’s right to repurchase Shares pursuant to this Section 10.9 to KKR or its Affiliates.

Section 10.10 Tender Offers. If any Person makes a tender offer, including a “mini-tender” offer, such Person must comply with all of the provisions set forth in Regulation 14D of the Exchange Act, including disclosure and notice requirements, that would be applicable if the tender offer was for more than 5% of the outstanding Shares; provided, however, that such documents are not required to be filed with the SEC. In addition, any such Person must provide notice to the Company at least 10 business days prior to initiating any such tender offer. Any Person who initiates a tender offer without complying with the provisions set forth above (a “Non-Compliant Tender Offer”), shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.10, including expenses incurred in connection with the review of all documents related to such tender offer. In addition, the Company may seek injunctive relief, including a temporary or permanent restraining order, in connection with any Non-Compliant Tender Offer. This Section 10.10 shall be of no force or effect with respect to any Shares that are then listed.

A special meeting shall be held at a time and place determined by (i) the Board of Directors in its sole discretion if the Board of Directors has called such special meeting, or (ii) by the Class G Members holding a majority of the outstanding Class G Shares in their sole discretion if the Class G Members have called such special

meeting, on a date not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days after notice of the meeting is given. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Persons calling the special meeting shall have full power and authority concerning the satisfaction of the foregoing requirements of this Section 11.1 and any similar matters.

Section 11.2 Notice of Meetings. If required by law, whenever Members are required to take any action at a meeting of Members, a notice in writing or by electronic transmission of the meeting, which shall state the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which Members and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the Members entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining Members entitled to notice of the meeting, shall be mailed to or transmitted electronically by the secretary or other officer of the Company to each Member of record entitled to vote thereat as of the record date for determining the Members entitled to notice of the meeting. Unless otherwise provided by law or this Agreement, any such notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each Member entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the Members entitled to notice of the meeting.

Section 11.3 Record Date.

(a) In order that the Company may determine the Members entitled to notice of any meeting of Member or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the Members entitled to vote at or attend such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determinations. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at or attend a meeting of Members shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of Members of record entitled to notice of or to vote at or attend a meeting of Members shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for determination of Members entitled to vote at or attend the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for Members entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of Members entitled to vote in accordance herewith at or attend the adjourned meeting.

(b) In order that the Company may determine the Members entitled to express consent to Company action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date for determining Members entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company in accordance with applicable law.

(c) In order that the Company may determine the Members entitled to receive payment of any distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of Shares or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining Members for any

such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 11.4 Conduct of Meeting. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Board of Directors shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Members or solicitation of written consents in lieu of a meeting of Members, including the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 11.1, the conduct of voting, the validity and elect of any proxies, the determination of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting and similar matters. The Board of Directors shall designate a Person to serve as chairman of any meeting, who, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall, among other things, be entitled to exercise the powers of the Board of Directors set forth in this Section. The Board of Directors may make such other regulations consistent with applicable law and this Agreement as it may deem necessary or advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Members or solicitation of Member action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes and approvals, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote, and the revocation of ballots, proxies and written consents.

Section 11.5 Adjournment. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting and a new record date need not be fixed, if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless such adjournment shall be for more than 30 days. At the adjourned meeting, the Company may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Member entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of Members entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix as the record date for determining Members entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of Members entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each Member of record as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 11.6 Quorum. The Members holding a majority of the outstanding Shares of the Class or Classes entitled to vote at a meeting (including Shares owned by the KKR Members) represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Members of such Class or Classes unless any such action by the Members requires approval by Members holding a greater percentage of such Shares, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage. At any meeting of Members duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of Members holding outstanding Shares that in the aggregate represents a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote at such meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Members, unless a greater or different percentage is required with respect to such action under this Agreement or applicable law, in which case the act of the Members holding outstanding Shares that in the aggregate represents at least such greater or different percentage of the voting power shall be required. The Members present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Members to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the required percentage of the outstanding Shares specified in this Agreement (including Shares owned by the KKR Members). In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of Members may be adjourned from time to time by the affirmative vote of Members holding at least a majority of the Shares present and entitled to vote at such meeting (including Shares owned by the KKR Members) represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted, except as provided in Section 11.5.

Section 11.7 Proxies. The Board of Directors may adopt procedures with respect to the use of proxies at any meeting of Members.

Section 11.8 Member Action Without a Meeting. If consented to by the Board of Directors in writing (which consent shall not be required with respect to any action to be taken solely by the Class G Members), any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Members entitled to vote may be taken without a meeting, without a vote and without prior notice, if a consent or consents in writing setting forth the action so taken are signed by Members owning not less than the minimum percentage of the outstanding Shares (including Shares owned by the KKR Members) that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Members entitled to vote were present and voted.

Section 11.9 Limited Voting Rights of the Members.

Subject to the terms of any Class Designation, the Members (other than the KKR Members) shall be entitled to vote only on the following matters specified in this Section 11.9, and shall otherwise have no voting rights whatsoever with respect to the Company:

(a) The Company shall not merge, consolidate, convert, or divide (pursuant to Section 18-217 of the Act) without the consent of Members holding a majority of the outstanding Shares of all Classes.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Section 15.1 Generally; Specific Authorization.

(a) The Company and any Controlled Portfolio Company of the Company shall not consummate any sale of a portfolio company to, or acquisition of a portfolio company from KKR, any KKR Vehicle, any of their respective Affiliates or any Controlled Portfolio Company unless such transaction (A) is on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been obtained on an arm’s length basis from an unrelated third party and (B) has been approved in advance by (x) the Executive Committee and (y) Special Approval.

(b) Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Article XV, whenever a potential conflict of interest exists or arises, any resolution or course of action by the Board of Directors, the Manager or Affiliates of the Manager (including KKR and the KKR Vehicles) in respect of such conflict of interest

shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Members, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein, or of any duty otherwise existing hereunder, at law or in equity, if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved by Special Approval, (ii) determined by the Board of Directors or the Manager, as applicable, to be on terms which are, in the aggregate, no less favorable to the Company than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties, (iii) determined by the Board of Directors or the Manager, as applicable, to be fair and reasonable to the Company, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Company) or (iv) approved by the vote of Members owning a majority of the Investor Shares (excluding Investor Shares owned by KKR and its Affiliates). The Board of Directors or the Manager shall be authorized but not required, in connection with its resolution of such conflict of interest, to seek Special Approval or Member approval of such conflict of interest, and the Board of Directors or the Manager may also adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval or Member approval. Failure to seek Special Approval shall not be deemed to indicate that a conflict of interest exists for that Special Approval could not have been obtained. Whenever the Board of Directors or the Manager makes a determination to refer or not to refer any potential conflict of interest to the Audit Committee for Special Approval, to seek or not to seek Member approval, or to adopt or not to adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval or approval by the Members, then the Board of Directors or the Manager, as applicable, shall be entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any duty or obligation whatsoever to the Company, any Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement, and the Board of Directors and the Manager, as applicable, shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard or duty imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Act or any other law, rule or regulation or in equity, and the Board of Directors or the Manager, as applicable, in making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action shall be permitted to do so in its sole discretion. If Special Approval is sought, then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the Audit Committee acted in good faith, and if the Board of Directors or the Manager, as applicable, determines that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (ii) or (iii) above or that a member satisfies the eligibility requirements to be a member of the Audit Committee, then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the Board of Directors or the Manager, as applicable, acted in good faith. In any proceeding brought by any Member or by or on behalf of such Member or any other Member or the Company challenging any action by the Audit Committee with respect to any matter referred to the Audit Committee for Special Approval by the Board of Directors or the Manager, as applicable, any action by the Board of Directors or the Manager, as applicable, in determining whether the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (ii) or (iii) above or whether a member of the Audit Committee satisfies the eligibility requirements to be a member of the Audit Committee, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming the presumption that the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors or the Manager, as applicable, acted in good faith by clear and convincing evidence.

(a) Whenever the Manager or the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof (including the Audit Committee), makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any Affiliate of the Manager causes the Manager to do so, in its capacity as the Manager as opposed to in its individual capacity, whether under this Agreement or any other agreement, then, unless another express lesser standard is provided for in this Agreement, the Manager, the Board of Directors or such committee or such Affiliates causing the Manager to do so, shall make such determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different duties or standards (including fiduciary duties or standards) imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. A determination or other action or inaction will conclusively be deemed to be in “good faith” for all purposes of this Agreement, if the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action subjectively believes that the determination or other action or inaction is in, or not adverse to, the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors or the Manager is making a determination or taking or declining to take an action pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (iii) of the first sentence of Section 15.1(b), then in lieu thereof, such determination or other action or inaction will conclusively be deemed to be in “good faith” for all purposes of this Agreement if the members of the Board of Directors or the Manager, as applicable, making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action subjectively believe that the determination or other action or inaction meets the standard set forth in clause (ii) or clause (iii) of the first sentence of Section 15.1(b), as applicable. Whenever in this Agreement the Board of Directors, the Manager, the Audit Committee or the Repurchase Committee is permitted or required to make a decision in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or that it deems “necessary or appropriate” or “necessary or advisable” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Board of Directors, the Manager, the Audit Committee or the Repurchase Committee, as applicable, shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including the interests of KKR and its Affiliates, and shall not be subject to any other or different duties or standards (including fiduciary duties or standards) imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. When resolving a conflict of interest or a potential conflict of interest, including pursuant to Section 15.1, the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee may consider any factors and other information that the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee, as applicable, determines in its sole discretion to consider.

(b) Whenever the Manager or a member of the Board of Directors makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of their respective Affiliates causes it or such member to do so, in its or such member’s individual capacity as opposed to in its capacity as Manager or in such member’s capacity as a Director, as applicable, whether under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then the Manager or such member, as applicable, or such Affiliates causing it or such member to do so, are entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any duty or obligation whatsoever to the Company, any Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement, and the Manager or such member, as applicable, or such Affiliates causing it or such member to do so, shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity, and the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action shall be permitted to do so in their sole discretion.

Any exculpation or indemnification standards contained herein shall not restore or create, whether in contract or otherwise, any such duties or liabilities.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty that would otherwise exist at law or in equity, each of the Indemnified Parties may engage in or possess an interest in any other business or venture of any kind, independently or with others, on its own behalf or on behalf of other entities with which any of the Indemnified Parties is an Affiliate or otherwise, and each of the Indemnified Parties may engage in any such activities, whether or not competitive with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, without any obligation to offer any interest in such activities to the Company, an Affiliate of the Company or to any other Member. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty that would otherwise exist at law or in equity, neither the Company, any Affiliate of the Company nor any Member shall have any right, by virtue of this Agreement or the existence of the Company, in or to such activities, or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such activities, even if competitive with the business of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper or the breach of this Agreement or of any duty otherwise existing hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise.

Section 15.5 Other Duties. The Members acknowledge and agree that the Company may enter into joint ventures with KKR Vehicles and that the Indemnified Parties may owe duties (including fiduciary duties) to such other KKR Vehicles now or in the future and that, (i) such duties (including fiduciary duties) may take priority over the duties of such Indemnified Party to the Company, including the Members, and (ii) to the extent an Indemnified Party acts in compliance with its duties (including fiduciary duties) to any such KKR Vehicle, any action taken or omission with respect to the Company in connection with or arising from such compliance shall be deemed consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or of any duty otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnified Party, or for any breach of contract (including breach of this Agreement) or any breach of duties (including breach of fiduciary duties) whether arising hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise; provided, that an Indemnified Party will not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (x) if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that the Indemnified Party’s action or omission constitutes fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith or the Indemnified Party’s actions or omissions were not made during the course of performing or pursuant to the Indemnified Party’s duties as a director, officer, trustee, manager, employee or agent of the Company or an Affiliate thereof or (y) for any losses, liabilities or damages arising out of an internal dispute solely between KKR, its Affiliates and their respective officers, partners, directors, shareholders, members or employees, (ii) the Company shall also have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, by reason of the fact that the person is or was an employee or agent of the Company, or, while serving as an employee or agent of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, its participants or beneficiaries, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses of any kind, including legal fees and amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that are incurred by such person, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The Executive Committee shall have the non-exclusive authority to determine the extent to which employees or agents are entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 16.3(a)(ii).

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall promptly pay expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by any person described in Section 16.3(a) in appearing at, participating in or defending any action, suit, claim or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, claim or proceeding, including appeals, upon presentation of an undertaking on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 16.3 or otherwise.

(c) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 16.3 shall not be exclusive of any rights to which any Indemnified Party may otherwise be entitled or hereafter acquire under any law, statute, rule, regulation, charter document, by-law, contract or agreement. The indemnification obligation of the Company to an Indemnified Party with respect to any indemnifiable amounts shall be reduced by any indemnification payments actually received by such Indemnified Party from any member of the Company Group with respect to the same indemnifiable amounts. Solely for purposes of clarification, and without expanding the scope of indemnification pursuant to this Section

16.3, the Members intend that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, as between (a) the Company Group and (b) the Company, this Section 16.3 shall be interpreted to reflect an ordering of liability for potentially overlapping or duplicative indemnification payments, with any applicable Person in the Company Group having primary liability and the Company having only secondary liability. The possibility that an Indemnified Party may receive indemnification payments from a Person in the Company Group shall not restrict the Company from making payments under this Section 16.3 to an Indemnified Party that is otherwise eligible for such payments, but such payments by the Company are not intended to relieve any Person in the Company Group from any liability that it would otherwise have to make indemnification payments to such Indemnified Party and, if an Indemnified Party that has received indemnification payments from the Company actually receives duplicative indemnification payments from a Person in the Company Group for the same indemnifiable amounts, such Indemnified Party shall repay the Company to the extent of such duplicative payments. If, notwithstanding the intention of this Section 16.3, a Person in the Company Group’s obligation to make indemnification payments to an Indemnified Party is relieved or reduced under applicable law as a result of payments made by the Company pursuant to this Section 16.3, or if otherwise necessary to effect the intention of the Members in this Section 16.3, the Company shall have, to the maximum extent permitted by law, a right of subrogation against (or contribution from) such Person in the Company Group for amounts paid by the Company to an Indemnified Party that relieved or reduced the obligation of such Person in the Company Group to such Indemnified Party. As used in this Section 16.3, “indemnification” payments made or to be made by a Person in the Company Group shall be deemed to include (i) advancement of expenses in connection with indemnification obligations, (ii) payments made or to be made by any successor to the indemnification obligations of such Person in the Company Group and (iii) equivalent payments made or to be made by or on behalf of such Person in the Company Group (or such successor) pursuant to an insurance policy or similar arrangement.

(d) The indemnification provided by this Section 16.3 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Agreement, any other agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Members, as a matter of law, in equity or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnified Party’s capacity as an Indemnified Party and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Party who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Party.

(e) The Company may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the Manager or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the Indemnified Parties and such other Persons as the Board of Directors shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the Company’s activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Company, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(f) The provisions of this Section 16.3 are for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(g) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 16.3 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnified Party to be indemnified by the Company, nor the obligations of the Company to indemnify any such Indemnified Party under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16.3 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 19.4 Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a) The parties hereto agree that, (i) except as provided in clause (ii) below, any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any claim or cause of action (whether in contract, tort, statute, common law or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including (A) any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement, (B) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (C) any suit, action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a duty owed by any current or former Director, officer, employee, Manager or Member of the Company, their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, representatives, agents, shareholders, members, managers, partners and employees, and any other Person who serves at the request of KKR or its Affiliates as a director, officer, agent, member, manager, partner, stockholder, trustee or employee of the Company or any other Person, (D) any suit, action or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Act or this Agreement or as to which the Act confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (E) any suit, action or proceeding asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine), shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or if such court does not have jurisdiction over the subject matter of such proceeding or if such jurisdiction is not available, in the other courts of the State of Delaware or in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any action, suit or proceeding asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, and (iii) each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any of such courts or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any of such courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by law as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, any Person acquiring or holding any interest in any security of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 19.4.

(b) Subject to applicable law, process in any such action, suit or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to applicable law, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 19.2 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or at equity. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND RELEASES TO THE OTHER ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT SEEK A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING. SUCH WAIVER OF A TRIAL BY JURY DOES NOT SERVE AS A

WAIVER BY ANY PARTIES HERETO OF ANY RIGHTS FOR CLAIMS MADE UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND NO PARTY HERETO MAY WAIVE THE COMPANY’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE U.S. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER.

Section 19.5 Waiver. No waiver by any party hereto of any breach of, or default under, this Agreement by any other party shall be construed or deemed a waiver of any other breach of or default under this Agreement, and shall not preclude any party from exercising or asserting any rights under this Agreement with respect to any other.

Section 19.6 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

Section 19.7 Application of Delaware Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, statute, common law or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 19.8 Captions. Section titles or captions contained in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Agreement.

Section 19.10 Counterparts; Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, any or all of which may be signed by the Manager and the Company, and each of their authorized officers and attorneys-in-fact, on behalf of the Members as their attorney-in-fact. Counterpart signature pages to each Member’s Subscription Agreement shall also constitute a counterpart to this Agreement upon acceptance thereof by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt a Person’s execution and delivery of this Agreement by electronic signature and electronic transmission (jointly, an “Electronic Signature”), including via DocuSign or other similar method, shall constitute the execution and delivery of a counterpart of this Agreement by or on behalf of such Person and shall bind such Person to the terms of this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement and any additional information incidental hereto may be maintained as electronic records. Any Person executing and delivering this Agreement by Electronic Signature further agrees to take any and all reasonable additional actions, if any, evidencing its intent to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, as may be reasonably requested by the Company.

Section 19.11 Waiver of Action for Partition. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives during the term of the Company any right that it may have to maintain any action for partition with respect to any property of the Company or to cause the Company to be dissolved or liquidated.

Section 19.14 Anti-Money Laundering. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company and the Manager, in its own name and on behalf of the Company, shall be authorized, without the consent of any Person, including any Member, to take such action as it determines to be necessary or advisable to comply, or to cause the Company to comply, with any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist laws, rules, regulations, directives or special measures.
