Our funds may invest in companies in which we or one or more or our other funds also invest, either directly or indirectly. Investments in a company by certain of our funds may be made prior to the investment by other funds, concurrently, including as part of the same financing plan or subsequent to the investments by such other funds. Any such investment by a fund may consist of securities or other instruments of a different class or type from those in which other of our funds are invested, and may entitle the holder of such securities and other instruments to greater control or to rights that otherwise differ from those to which such other funds are entitled. In connection with any such investments — including as they relate to acquisition, owning, and disposition of such investments — our funds may have conflicting interests and investment objectives, and any difference in the terms of the securities or other instruments held by such parties may raise additional conflicts of interest for our funds and us. Our failure to adequately mitigate these conflicts could give rise to regulatory and investor scrutiny.

(K)Sponsor Return shall mean, on any given Transaction, a return at least 2.5 times the KKR Groups initial investment on December18, 2013 for each ClassA-1 Unit of the Company (as adjusted to a per Share basis in connection with the conversion to Shares) held directly or indirectly by the KKR Group, where such return is calculated based on all cash distributions from the Company received by the KKR Group before such Transaction (and, if such Transaction is a Change in Control where the KKR Group receives consideration other than cash, the Transaction Value of any non-cash and/or contingent consideration, including any retained interests in the Company or its Subsidiaries), on a per Share basis, with respect to the Shares held by the KKR Group, directly or indirectly.
