Dated: ____________

THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON
TRUST COMPANY, N.A., as Trustee

By:
	Authorized Signatory

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

1. Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its “0.509% Senior Notes due 2023” (herein called the “Notes”), issued under a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 23, 2018 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), to an indenture, dated as of March 23, 2018 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Base Indenture” and herein with the First Supplemental Indenture, collectively, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch (the “Paying Agent,” which term includes any successor paying agent under the Indenture) and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The aggregate principal amount of 2023 Initial Notes Outstanding at any time may not exceed ¥25,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, except for, or in lieu of, other Notes of the series pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Base Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered. The First Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which this Note is issued provides that Additional Notes may be issued thereunder.

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Note and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern.

2. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment or for exchange. The Company has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon acting through its London Branch, as its Paying Agent and The Bank of New York Mellon as the Trustee and its Security Registrar. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents or other Security Registrars and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts.

3. Additional Amounts. All payments made by, or on behalf of, the Company under or with respect to the Notes, including, but not limited to, payments of principal and interest, will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Relevant Jurisdiction or political subdivision or taxing authority of or in such Relevant Jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by regulation or governmental policy having the force of law. In the event such withholding or deduction of Taxes is required by law, the Company will pay to the Holder or beneficial owner of any Note such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that every net payment by the Company or any paying agent of principal of or interest on the Notes, after deduction or withholding for or on account of such Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for in such Note to be then due and payable before deduction or withholding for or on account of such Taxes; provided that the Company’s obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply to:

(i) any Taxes which would not have been so imposed, withheld or deducted but for:

(A) the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder or other equity owner of, or a person having a power over, such Holder or beneficial owner, if such Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a limited liability company, a partnership, a corporation or other entity) and any Relevant Jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or other equity owner or person having such a power) being or having been a citizen or resident or treated as a resident of such Relevant Jurisdiction or being or having been engaged in a trade or business in such Relevant Jurisdiction or being or having been present in such Relevant Jurisdiction or having or having had a permanent establishment in such Relevant Jurisdiction;

(B) the failure of such Holder or beneficial owner to comply with any applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such Holder or beneficial owner, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation in any Relevant Jurisdiction as a precondition to relief or exemption from the Tax, and proper notice of such requirements has been sent to the Holder or beneficial owner with respect to a jurisdiction other than the United States; or

(C) such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s present or former status as a personal holding company, foreign personal holding company, controlled foreign corporation, passive foreign investment company or foreign tax exempt organization with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

(ii) any Taxes imposed, withheld or deducted on interest received by (1) a ‘‘10-percent shareholder’’ of KKR Management Holdings Corp. within the meaning of Section 871(h) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (2) a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code, or (3) a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the beneficial owner’s status as described in clauses (1) through (3) of this paragraph (ii);

(iii) any Taxes which would not have been so imposed, withheld or deducted but for the presentation by the Holder or beneficial owner of such note for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of the note is duly provided for and notice is given to Holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting such note on any date during such 30-day period;

(iv) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, capital gains, personal property, excise, wealth, interest equalization or similar Taxes;

(v) any Taxes which are payable otherwise than by withholding from any payment of principal of or interest on such note;

(vi) any Taxes which are payable by a Holder that is not the beneficial owner of the note, or a portion of the note, or that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other similar entity, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or member of such partnership, limited liability company or similar entity would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had such beneficial owner, settlor, beneficiary or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

(vii) any Taxes imposed, withheld or deducted under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor provisions that are substantively comparable) and any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof (“FATCA”), any agreement (including any intergovernmental agreement) entered into in connection therewith, or any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement in respect of FATCA; or

(viii) any combination of taxes referred to in the preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii).

For the purposes of this Note, the acquisition, ownership, enforcement or holding of or the receipt of any payment with respect to the Note will not constitute a connection (1) between the holder or beneficial owner and any Relevant Jurisdiction or (2) between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder or other equity owner of, or a person having a power over, such holder or beneficial owner if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a limited liability company, a partnership, a corporation or other entity and any Relevant Jurisdiction.

Any reference in this Note to principal or interest shall be deemed to refer also to Additional Amounts which may be payable under the provisions of the Indenture.

4. Tax Redemption. If the Company becomes or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Relevant Jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in, or amendment to, any official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after March 15, 2018, with respect to this Note for reasons outside the Company’s control and after taking reasonable measures available to the Company to avoid such obligation, then the Company may, at its option, redeem, as a whole, but not in part, this Note at any time prior to maturity on not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days’ prior notice to the Holders, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for such redemption.

Prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption pursuant to this section, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee:

(1) a certificate signed by one of its duly authorized officers stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the Company’s right so to redeem have occurred, and

(2) a written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the Company has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such change or amendment.

Such notice, once delivered by the Company to the Trustee, shall be irrevocable.

4. Global Security. If this Note is a Global Security, then, in the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Note, including an exchange, transfer, redemption, repurchase or conversion of this Note in part only, the Common Depositary, as custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or withdrawal in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

5. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Upon payment of the amount of principal so declared due and payable, all obligations of the Company in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes shall terminate.

No Holder of Notes shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or sequestrator (or similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder (except actions for payment of overdue principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on such Notes in accordance with its terms), unless (i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default, specifying an Event of Default, as required under the Indenture; (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under the Indenture; (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (iv) the Trustee has failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of the Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under the Indenture, except in the manner provided in the Indenture and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest hereon, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.

6. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note. Certain modifications or amendments to the Indenture require the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair (without the consent of the Holder hereof) the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

The aggregate principal amount of Initial 2025 Notes Outstanding at any time may not exceed ¥5,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, except for, or in lieu of, other Notes of the series pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Base Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Base Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered. The First Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which this Note is issued provides that Additional Notes may be issued thereunder.

3. Additional Amounts. All payments made by, or on behalf of, the Company under or with respect to the Notes, including, but not limited to, payments of principal and interest, will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Relevant Jurisdiction or political subdivision or taxing authority of or in such Relevant Jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by regulation or governmental policy having the force of law. In the event such withholding or deduction of Taxes is required by law, the Company will pay to the holder or beneficial owner of any note such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that every net payment by the Company or any paying agent of principal of or interest on the notes, after deduction or withholding for or on account of such Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for in such note to be then due and payable before deduction or withholding for or on account of such Taxes; provided that the Company’s obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply to:

(i) any Taxes which would not have been so imposed, withheld or deducted but for:

(A) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder or other equity owner of, or a person having a power over, such holder or beneficial owner, if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a limited liability company, a partnership, a corporation or other entity) and any Relevant Jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or other equity owner or person having such a power) being or having been a citizen or resident or treated as a resident of such Relevant Jurisdiction or being or having been engaged in a trade or business in such Relevant Jurisdiction or being or having been present in such Relevant Jurisdiction or having or having had a permanent establishment in such Relevant Jurisdiction;

(B) the failure of such holder or beneficial owner to comply with any applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such holder or beneficial owner, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation in any Relevant Jurisdiction as a precondition to relief or exemption from the Tax, and proper notice of such requirements has been sent to the holder or beneficial owner with respect to a jurisdiction other than the United States; or

(C) such holder’s or beneficial owner’s present or former status as a personal holding company, foreign personal holding company, controlled foreign corporation, passive foreign investment company or foreign tax exempt organization with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

(ii) any Taxes imposed, withheld or deducted on interest received by (1) a ‘‘10-percent shareholder’’ of KKR Management Holdings Corp. within the meaning of Section 871(h) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’), (2) a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code, or (3) a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the beneficial owner’s status as described in clauses (1) through (3) of this paragraph (ii);

(iii) any Taxes which would not have been so imposed, withheld or deducted but for the presentation by the holder or beneficial owner of such note for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of the note is duly provided for and notice is given to holders, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting such note on any date during such 30-day period;

(iv) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, capital gains, personal property, excise, wealth, interest equalization or similar Taxes;

(v) any Taxes which are payable otherwise than by withholding from any payment of principal of or interest on such note;

(vi) any Taxes which are payable by a holder that is not the beneficial owner of the note, or a portion of the note, or that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other similar entity, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or member of such partnership, limited liability company or similar entity would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had such beneficial owner, settlor, beneficiary or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

(viii) any combination of taxes referred to in the preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii).

Any reference in this Note to principal or interest shall be deemed to refer also to Additional Amounts which may be payable under the provisions of the Indenture.

Section 3.3. Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.

(1) The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in the Indenture and in the Global Security) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security to another Global Security shall deliver to the Security Registrar a duly completed Assignment Form in the form attached to the Global Security, any applicable certifications or opinions required by the Assignment Form and a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Security. The Security Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred.

(2) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security from which such interest is being transferred.

(3) If the Company determines (upon the advice of counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably require) that a Note is eligible for resale after the applicable Resale Restriction Termination Date (as defined in the applicable Note) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) without the need for current public information and that the applicable legend in either the first or second paragraph of Section 3.2 hereto (a “Restricted Legend”) is no longer necessary or appropriate in order to ensure that subsequent transfers of the Note (or a beneficial interest therein) are effected in compliance with the Securities Act, the Company may instruct the Trustee to cancel the Note and issue to the Holder thereof (or to its transferee) a new Note in any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, registered in the name of the Holder thereof (or its transferee), that does not bear the Restricted Legend, and the Trustee will comply with such instruction.

ARTICLE IV

Remedies

Section 4.1. Events of Default.

“Event of Default” means, wherever used herein with respect to the Notes, an Event of Default pursuant to Section 501 of the Base Indenture (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body).

Section 4.2. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Section 512 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and, with respect to the Notes, any reference to Section 512 in the Base Indenture shall instead be deemed to refer to this Section 4.2.

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default hereunder with respect to the Notes and its consequences, except a default

(1) in the payment of the principal of, interest on, or Additional Amounts with respect to any Note; or

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof or of the Base Indenture which under Article VII hereof or under Article IX of the Base Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected, provided that there had been paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all amounts due to the Trustee and to reimburse the Trustee for any and all fees, expenses and disbursements advanced by the Trustee, its agents and its counsel incurred in connection with such default or Event of Default.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this First Supplemental Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

ARTICLE V

Tax Redemption

Section 5.1. Tax Redemption.

The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, together with interest accrued and unpaid on the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice if:

(1) the Company has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws, regulations or rulings of such Relevant Jurisdiction or any political subdivision or any taxing authority of or in any Relevant Jurisdiction affecting taxation, or any change in or amendment to an official application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after March 15, 2018 (or, if the Relevant Jurisdiction became a Relevant Jurisdiction on a date after March 15, 2018, such later date); or

(2) any action shall have been taken by a taxing authority, or any action has been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, in any Relevant Jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any Relevant Jurisdiction, including any of those actions specified in (a) above, whether or not such action was taken or brought with respect to the Company, or any change, clarification, amendment, application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings shall be officially proposed, in any such case on or after March 15, 2018 (or, if the Relevant Jurisdiction became a Relevant Jurisdiction on a date after March 15, 2018, such later date), which results in a substantial likelihood that the Company will be required to pay Additional Amounts on the next interest payment date

However, no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be, in the case of a redemption for the reasons specified in (1) above, or there would be a substantial likelihood that the Company would be, in the case of a redemption for the reasons specified in (2) above, obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due and at the time such notification of redemption is given such circumstance remains in effect.

Prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption pursuant to this section, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee:

Such notice, once delivered by the Company to the Trustee, shall be irrevocable.

ARTICLE VI

Particular Covenants

Section 6.1. Liens.

The Credit Parties shall not create, assume, incur or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed that is secured by a pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance (other than Permitted Liens) on any voting stock or profit participating equity interests of their respective Subsidiaries (to the extent of their ownership of such voting stock or profit participating equity interests) or any entity that succeeds (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to all or any substantial part of the business of any of such Subsidiaries, without providing that the Notes (together with, if the Credit Parties shall so determine, any other indebtedness of, or guarantee by, the Credit Parties ranking equally with the Notes and existing as of the closing of the offering of the Notes or thereafter created) will be secured equally and ratably with or prior to all other indebtedness secured by such pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance on the voting stock or profit participating equity interests of any such entities. This Section 6.1 shall not limit the ability of the Credit Parties to incur indebtedness or other obligations secured by liens on assets other than the voting stock or profit participating equity interests of their respective Subsidiaries.

Section 6.2. Financial Reports

Section 704 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the reports, information, and documents delivered under this Section 6.2.

(1) For so long as the Partnership is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide (or cause its Affiliates to provide) to the Trustee, unless available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system), within 15 days after the Partnership files the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Partnership may file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Trustee may conclusively presume, and shall incur no liability in such presumption, that the Partnership has not filed any such reports, information, documents and other reports with the Commission that are not available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system) unless and until it shall have received written notice from the Company to the contrary.

(2) For so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Company shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, furnish to the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act for the Company and, unless available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system), for the Partnership (as if such rule applied to it); provided, however, that if any time the Partnership no longer directly or indirectly controls the Credit Parties or guarantees the Notes, such information shall be provided for either (1) the Credit Parties on a combined and consolidated basis and taken as a whole or (2) any Person that directly or indirectly controls the Credit Parties and guarantees the Notes (in each case, as if such rule applied to such Persons). The Company shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, make the above information and reports available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.

(3) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of the covenants contained in this Indenture (as to which the Trustee will be entitled to conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate). The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine if and when the Company’s information is available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system) and the Trustee shall have no obligation to obtain any reports that are posted on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system).

Section 6.3. Additional Amounts

(1) All payments made by, or on behalf of, the Company under or with respect to the Notes, including, but not limited to, payments of principal and interest, shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Relevant Jurisdiction or political subdivision or taxing authority of or in such Relevant Jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or by regulation or governmental policy having the force of law. In the event such withholding or deduction of Taxes is required by law, the Company will pay to the Holder or beneficial owner of any Note such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that every net payment by the Company or any paying agent of principal of or interest on the Notes, after deduction or withholding for or on account of such Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for in such Note to be then due and payable before deduction or withholding for or on account of such Taxes; provided that the Company’s obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply to:

(i) any Taxes which would not have been so imposed, withheld or deducted but for:

(ii) any Taxes imposed, withheld or deducted on interest received by (1) a ‘‘10-percent shareholder’’ of KKR Management Holdings Corp. within the meaning of Section 871(h) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’), (2) a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code, or (3) a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the beneficial owner’s status as described in clauses (1) through (3) of this paragraph (ii);

(iv) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, capital gains, personal property, excise, wealth, interest equalization or similar Taxes;

(v) any Taxes which are payable otherwise than by withholding from any payment of principal of or interest on such Note;

(viii) any combination of taxes referred to in the preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii).

For purposes of this Section 6.3, the acquisition, ownership, enforcement or holding of or the receipt of any payment with respect to a Note will not constitute a connection (1) between the Holder or beneficial owner and any Relevant Jurisdiction or (2) between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder or other equity owner of, or a person having a power over, such Holder or beneficial owner if such Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a limited liability company, a partnership, a corporation or other entity and any Relevant Jurisdiction.

Any reference in this Indenture or in the Notes to principal or interest shall be deemed to refer also to Additional Amounts which may be payable under the provisions of this Section 6.3.

ARTICLE VII

Supplemental Indentures

Section 7.1. Supplemental Indentures without Consent of Holders of Notes.

For the purposes of the Base Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture, no amendment to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in this First Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Notes made solely to conform this First Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Notes to the Description of the Notes contained in the Company’s offering memorandum dated March 15, 2018, to the extent that such provision in the Description of the Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Notes, shall be deemed to adversely affect the interests of the Holders of any Notes.

Section 7.2. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders of Notes.

Section 902 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and, with respect to the Notes, any reference to Section 902 in the Base Indenture shall instead be deemed to refer to this Section 7.2.

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes), by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of such Notes under the Indenture; provided, however, no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby:

(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Note;

(2) reduce the principal amount of any Note which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502 of the Base Indenture, or reduce the rate of or extend the time of payment of interest on any Note;

(3) change the coin or currency in which the principal of, interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Note is payable;

(4) change the date on which any Note may or must be redeemed;

(5) impair the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);

(6) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes the consent of whose Holders is required for modification or amendment of this First Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of the Base Indenture or this First Supplemental Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and hereunder and their consequences) provided for in the Base Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture;

(7) modify any of the provisions of this Section 7.2 or Section 512 or Section 1005 of the Base Indenture, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section 7.2 and Section 1005 of the Base Indenture, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 611 and 901(7) of the Base Indenture;

(8) subordinate the Notes or any Guarantee of a Guarantor in respect thereof to any other obligation of the Company or such Guarantor;

(9) modify the terms of any Guarantee in a manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes; or

(10) modify clauses (1) through (9) above.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 7.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities other than the Notes, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of the Notes.

In addition, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, and subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1005 of the Base Indenture, waive compliance with the Credit Parties’ covenants described under Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 of this First Supplemental Indenture and Article VIII and Section 1402 of the Base Indenture (other than any covenant, a modification to which under clause (3) of this Section 7.2 would require the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby).

ARTICLE VIII

Defeasance

Section 8.1. Covenant Defeasance.

Section 1303 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and, with respect to the Notes, any reference to Section 1303 in the Base Indenture shall instead be deemed to refer to this Section 8.1.
