Form of Unit Grant Certificate of KKR Holdings L.P. (Co-Chief Executive Officer)

This Grant Certificate confirms that the Grantee has been granted the units of KKR Holdings L.P. identified below (the “Units”), which (subject to the following paragraph) are Fully Unvested Units and shall vest pursuant to the vesting schedule specified hereunder.  The Units are subject to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of KKR Holdings L.P., dated June 28, 2021, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Holdings LPA”), and (save for the matters specifically addressed in this Grant Certificate) to the applicable terms of any other written documents relating to the Grantee’s interests in KKR Holdings L.P. (which may include a Consent, Admission and Award Agreement), each of which have been previously executed by the Grantee.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Appendix A hereto and if not defined therein have the meanings set forth in the Holdings LPA.  In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained in the Holdings LPA and this Grant Certificate (including, without limitation, with respect to transfer restrictions and vesting upon retirement, death or disability and change in control), the applicable terms and provisions of this Grant Certificate will govern and prevail.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Grant Certificate, the Holdings LPA or any other document, this grant of Units is conditioned upon and subject to your agreement to be bound by the Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Agreement attached hereto as Appendix B, which constitute the Grantee’s Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Agreement as of the date hereof (and may be amended or replaced after the date hereof in any Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Agreement executed by the Grantee with the Partnership or the Corporation).

The following table presents the percentage of Units issued and/or disclosed to the Grantee on the Grant Date that will contingently vest and become Contingently Vested Units as of each applicable Service Vesting Date, subject to the Grantee’s continued Employment through the Service Vesting Dates set forth below.

The Units are subject to Section 9.2(a) of the Holdings LPA, which requires the Grantee to retain the Minimum Retained Ownership Amount.

Each Unit issued to the Grantee is subject to the transfer restrictions set forth below:

In addition to any restrictions on the Transfer of Units set forth in the Holdings LPA (excluding Appendix C thereto, which is replaced in its entirety by the provisions herein) and Reorganization Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the General Partner in its sole discretion, the Grantee may not Transfer pursuant to an Exchange Transaction or otherwise (i) in excess of 35% of such Units (or other interests received with respect to such Units) prior to October 1, 2022, (ii) in excess of 57.5% such Units (or other interests received with respect to such Units) prior to October 1, 2023 and (iii) in excess of 85% of such Units (or other interests received with respect to such Units) prior to October 1, 2024.  The date on which a Unit first ceases to be subject to the foregoing restrictions is referred to as the “Transfer Restrictions End Date” for such Units.  In addition, the Units (or other interests received with respect to such Units) shall be subject to the following additional vesting provision until the earlier of (i) the Transfer Restrictions End Date for such Unit and (ii) the date on which the non-solicitation covenants contained in the Grantee’s Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Agreement expire:

The Grantee shall not (i) become a Terminated Limited Partner due to Cause or (ii) with respect only to those Units with respect to which the Transfer Restrictions End Date has not occurred, breach the Grantee’s Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Agreement.

If, prior to the date the Covered Units are vested as provided in “Service-Based Vesting” above or otherwise terminate or are forfeited pursuant to this Grant Certificate: (A) the Grantee’s Employment terminates due to the Grantee’s Retirement, if applicable, then all Retirement Units shall, in the discretion of the General Partner, be fully vested and thereafter be a Contingently Vested Unit as a result thereof; (B) the Grantee dies or experiences a Disability, then all Covered Units shall be vested and thereafter be a Contingently Vested Unit as a result thereof, provided that if the Grantee is not an employee of the KKR Group, then any vesting of Units described in this clause (B) shall be in the discretion of the General Partner; or (C) there occurs a Change in Control prior to any termination of the Grantee’s Employment, then all or any portion of any Covered Units may, in the discretion of the General Partner, be vested and thereafter be a Contingently Vested Unit as a result thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the General Partner or 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 Units pursuant to this Grant Certificate being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the General Partner 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 Units will be treated as set forth in “Service-Based Vesting”, or the other provisions of this Grant Certificate, as applicable.

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 this Grant Certificate, then all Covered Units (including any Covered Units that are not Retirement Units and other interests received with respect to such Units) shall immediately terminate and be forfeited without consideration.

The Grantee’s right to vest in the Covered Units, 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 General Partner with the Grantee; the General Partner shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer actively employed or engaged for purposes of the Units.

Each of the foregoing additional vesting provisions shall be considered an “Additional Vesting Provision” for the purposes of the Holdings LPA.  Appendix B of the Holdings LPA shall not apply to the Units.

In Witness Whereof, the parties hereto have executed this Grant Certificate as of the date specified under the signature of the Limited Partner.
