  This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "outlook," "believe," "think," "expect," "potential," "continue," "may," "should," "seek," "approximately," "predict," "intend," "will," "plan," "estimate," "anticipate," “visibility”, “positioned”, “path to”, “conviction”, the negative version of these words, other comparable words or other statements that do not relate strictly to historical or factual matters. Without limiting the foregoing, statements regarding KKR’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, including capital invested, uncalled commitments, cash and short-term investments, and levels of indebtedness; the potential for future business growth; outstanding shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. and its capital structure; non-GAAP and segment measures and performance metrics, including assets under management (“AUM”), fee paying assets under management (“FPAUM”), Adjusted Net Income, Total Operating Earnings, Total Segment Earnings, Fee Related Earnings ("FRE"), Insurance Operating Earnings, Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings, Total Investing Earnings, and Total Segment Earnings; the declaration and payment of dividends on capital stock of KKR & Co. Inc.; the timing, manner and volume of repurchase of shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc.; our statements regarding the potential of, and future financial results from, KKR’s Strategic Holdings segment (including expectations about dividend payments from companies and businesses in the Strategic Holdings segment in the future, the future growth of such companies and businesses, the potential for compounding earnings over a long period of time from such segment, and the belief that such segment is an unconstrained business line); KKR’s ability to grow its AUM, to deploy capital, to realize unrealized investment appreciation, and the time period over which such events may occur; KKR’s ability to manage the investments in and operations of acquired companies and businesses; the effects of any transactional activity on KKR’s operating results, including pending sales of investments; expansion and growth opportunities and other synergies resulting from acquisitions of companies (including the acquisition of Global Atlantic and businesses in our Strategic Holdings segment), internal reorganizations or strategic partnerships with third parties; the timing and expected impact to our business of any new investment fund, vehicle or product launches; the timing and completion of certain transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement entered into on October 8, 2021 by KKR & Co. Inc. pursuant to which the parties agreed to undertake a series of integrated transactions to effect a number of transformative structural and governance changes in the future; the implementation or execution of, or results from, any strategic initiatives, including efforts to access private wealth investors and the modification of our compensation framework announced on November 29, 2023, which decreased the targeted percentage of compensation from fee related revenues and increased the targeted percentage from realized carried interest and incentive fees. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements or cause the anticipated benefits and synergies from transactions to not be realized. We believe these factors include those described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (our "Annual Report" or "report"). These factors should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this report and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

(“Associates Holdings”), in which carry pool participants are limited partners. Associates Holdings is currently not a subsidiary of KKR & Co. Inc.

KKR Group Partnership L.P. ("KKR Group Partnership") is the intermediate holding company that owns the entirety of KKR’s business. Unless otherwise indicated, references to equity interests in KKR’s business, or to percentage interests in KKR’s business, reflect the aggregate equity interests in KKR Group Partnership, and are net of amounts that have been allocated to carry pool participants and any other holders of minority interests in KKR Group Partnership. References to “KKR Group Partnership” for periods prior to January 1, 2020 refer to KKR Fund Holdings L.P., KKR Management Holdings L.P. and KKR International Holdings L.P., collectively, which were combined on that date to form KKR Group Partnership. References to a “KKR Group Partnership Unit” refer to (i) one Class A partner interest in each of KKR Fund Holdings L.P., KKR Management Holdings L.P. and KKR International Holdings L.P., collectively, for periods prior to prior to January 1, 2020, and (ii) one Class A partner interest in KKR Group Partnership for periods on and after January 1, 2020. “Exchangeable securities” refers to securities that have the right to acquire KKR Group Partnership Units and to exchange them for our shares of common stock. As of the date of this report, our only outstanding exchangeable securities are (i) restricted holdings units issued through KKR Holdings II L.P. ("KKR Holdings II"), which are issued under the Amended and Restated KKR & Co. Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Equity Incentive Plan"), and (ii) restricted holdings units issued through KKR Holdings III L.P. ("KKR Holdings III"), which are not issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and are currently held by certain Global Atlantic employees who received 2.6 million units (a majority of which are unvested) in connection with the January 2, 2024 transaction described below. In the future, we may issue securities other than restricted holdings units that may constitute exchangeable securities.
On October 8, 2021, KKR entered into a Reorganization Agreement (the "Reorganization Agreement") with KKR Holdings, KKR Management, Associates Holdings, and the other parties thereto. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the parties agreed to undertake a series of integrated transactions to effect a number of transformative structural and governance changes, including (a) the acquisition by KKR of KKR Holdings and all of the KKR Group Partnership Units held by it (which as noted below was completed), (b) the future elimination of voting control by KKR Management and the Series I preferred stock held by it, (c) the future establishment of voting rights for all common stock on a one vote per share basis, including with respect to the election of directors, and (d) the future control of the carry pool by KKR. On May 31, 2022, KKR completed the acquisition of KKR Holdings and the 258.3 million KKR Group Partnership Units held by it, and in exchange KKR issued and delivered 266.8 million shares of common stock to our principals. On the "Sunset Date" (which will occur no later than December 31, 2026), KKR will cancel the Series I preferred stock, establish voting rights for all common stock on a one vote per share basis, and acquire control of the carry pool. For more information about the Reorganization Agreement, see Note 1 "Organization" in our financial statements included in this report.
KKR’s asset management business is conducted by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. and various other subsidiaries of KKR & Co. Inc. other than Global Atlantic. KKR’s insurance business is operated by Global Atlantic, which KKR acquired a majority controlling interest in on February 1, 2021 ("2021 GA Acquisition"). On January 2, 2024, KKR acquired the remaining minority interests of Global Atlantic held by third party co-investors and Global Atlantic employees in exchange for cash and securities exchangeable for shares of KKR & Co. Inc. common stock (the “2024 GA Acquisition”). As of January 2, 2024, KKR owns 100.0% of Global Atlantic. KJR Management ("KJRM") is a Japanese real estate asset manager, which KKR acquired on April 28, 2022.
References to our "funds," "vehicles" or "investment vehicles" refer to a wide array of investment funds, vehicles and accounts that are advised, managed or sponsored by one or more subsidiaries of KKR, including collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") and business development companies (each, a "BDC"), unless the context requires otherwise. These references do not include the investment funds, vehicles or accounts of any hedge fund partnership or any other third-party asset manager with which we have formed a strategic partnership or have acquired a minority ownership interest. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “fund investors” or "investors in our investment vehicles" refers to the third-party investors in these funds and investment vehicles. References to “strategic investor partnerships” refers to separately managed accounts with certain investors, which typically have investment periods longer than our traditional funds and typically provide for investments across different investment strategies. References to “hedge fund partnerships” refers to strategic partnerships with third-party hedge fund managers in which KKR owns a minority stake.
Unless otherwise indicated, references in this report to our outstanding common stock on a fully exchanged and diluted basis reflect (i) actual shares of common stock outstanding, (ii) shares of common stock into which all outstanding shares of Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock were convertible (for periods prior to the date of its mandatory redemption, which occurred in September 2023), (iii) shares of common stock issuable pursuant to equity awards actually granted pursuant to the Amended and Restated KKR & Co. Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2010 Equity Incentive Plan" and, together with the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, our "Equity Incentive Plans") and (iv) shares of common stock issuances from exchangeable securities, including vested partnership interests in KKR Holdings III L.P. Our outstanding common stock on a fully exchanged and diluted basis does not include shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plans for which equity awards have not yet been granted.

In this report, the term "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We disclose certain financial measures in this report that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted Net Income, Total Asset Management Segment Revenues, Total Segment Earnings, Total Investing Earnings, Total Operating Earnings, FRE, Insurance Operating Earnings and Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings. We believe that providing these performance measures on a supplemental basis to our GAAP results is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall performance of KKR's businesses. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for similar financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We caution readers that these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculations of other investment managers, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, where applicable, are included under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Segment Balance Sheet Measures—Reconciliations to GAAP Measures." This report also uses the terms AUM, FPAUM and capital invested. You should note that our calculations of these and other operating metrics may differ from the calculations of other investment managers and, as a result, may not be comparable to similar metrics presented by other investment managers. These non-GAAP and operating metrics are defined in the section "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Segment and Non-GAAP Performance Measures—Other Terms and Capital Metrics."
The use of any defined term in this report to mean more than one entity, person, security or other item collectively is solely for convenience of reference and in no way implies that such entities, persons, securities or other items are one indistinguishable group. For example, notwithstanding the use of the defined terms "KKR," "we" and "our" in this report to refer to KKR & Co. Inc. and its subsidiaries, each subsidiary of KKR & Co. Inc. is a standalone legal entity that is separate and distinct from KKR & Co. Inc. and any of its other subsidiaries. Any KKR entity (including any Global Atlantic entity) referenced herein is responsible for its own financial, contractual and legal obligations. Additionally, references to "including" are for the purpose of illustration and shall be read to mean "including without limitation" unless the context explicitly requires otherwise.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
(Amounts in Thousands)
 
The following presents the portion of the consolidated balances provided in the consolidated statements of financial condition attributable to consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs"). As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, KKR's consolidated VIEs consist primarily of (i) certain collateralized financing entities ("CFEs") holding collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), (ii) certain investment funds, and (iii) certain VIEs formed by Global Atlantic. The noteholders, creditors and equity holders of these VIEs have no recourse to the assets of any other KKR entity.
With respect to consolidated CLOs and certain investment funds, the following assets may only be used to settle obligations of these consolidated VIEs and the following liabilities are only the obligations of these consolidated VIEs and not generally to KKR. Additionally, KKR has no right to the benefits from, nor does KKR bear the risks associated with, the assets held by these VIEs beyond KKR's beneficial interest therein and any income generated from the VIEs. There are neither explicit arrangements nor does KKR hold implicit variable interests that would require KKR to provide any material ongoing financial support to the consolidated VIEs, beyond amounts previously committed to them, if any.
With respect to certain other VIEs consolidated by Global Atlantic, Global Atlantic has formed certain VIEs to hold investments, including fixed maturity securities, consumer and other loans, renewable energy, transportation and real estate. These VIEs issue beneficial interests primarily to Global Atlantic’s insurance companies.

KKR & CO. INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(All Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data, and Except Where Noted)

1. ORGANIZATION
KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE: KKR), through its subsidiaries (collectively, "KKR"), is a leading global investment firm that offers alternative asset management as well as capital markets and insurance solutions. KKR aims to generate attractive investment returns by following a patient and disciplined investment approach, employing world-class people, and supporting growth in its portfolio companies and communities. KKR sponsors investment funds that invest in private equity, credit and real assets and has strategic partners that manage hedge funds. KKR’s insurance subsidiaries offer retirement, life and reinsurance products under the management of The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC ("TGAFG" and, together with its insurance companies and other subsidiaries, "Global Atlantic").
KKR & Co. Inc. is the parent company of KKR Group Co. Inc., which in turn owns KKR Group Holdings Corp., which is the general partner of KKR Group Partnership L.P. ("KKR Group Partnership"). KKR & Co. Inc. both indirectly controls KKR Group Partnership and indirectly holds Class A partner interests in KKR Group Partnership ("KKR Group Partnership Units") representing economic interests in KKR's business. As of March 31, 2024, KKR & Co. Inc. held indirectly approximately 99.4% of the KKR Group Partnership Units. The remaining balance is held indirectly by KKR employees through restricted holdings units representing an ownership interest in KKR Group Partnership Units, which may be exchanged for shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. ("exchangeable securities"). As limited partner interests, these KKR Group Partnership Units are non-voting and do not entitle anyone other than KKR to manage its business and affairs. KKR Group Partnership also has outstanding limited partner interests that provide for a carry pool provided by KKR Associates Holdings L.P. ("Associates Holdings").
On January 2, 2024, KKR acquired the remaining minority interests of Global Atlantic held by third party co-investors and Global Atlantic employees in exchange for cash and securities exchangeable for shares of KKR & Co. Inc. common stock (the “2024 GA Acquisition”). The purchase price paid by KKR was approximately $2.6 billion in cash and approximately $41 million in securities exchangeable for shares of KKR & Co. Inc. common stock. Global Atlantic was consolidated prior to January 2, 2024 and consequently, this transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction. At the time of the 2024 GA Acquisition, the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests held by third party co-investors and Global Atlantic employees in Global Atlantic was lower than the purchase price paid by KKR, which was determined by excluding unrealized losses on its available-for-sale portfolio and consistent with the calculation of the purchase price paid by KKR to acquire Global Atlantic in 2021. As such, this transaction resulted in a decrease in KKR & Co. Inc. Stockholders’ Equity.
References to "KKR" in these financial statements refer to KKR & Co. Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Global Atlantic, unless the context requires otherwise, especially in sections where "KKR" is intended to refer to the asset management and strategic holdings businesses only. References in these financial statements to "principals" are to KKR's current and former employees who held interests in KKR's business through KKR Holdings prior to the Reorganization Mergers (as defined below). References to "Global Atlantic" in these financial statements includes the insurance companies and other subsidiaries of Global Atlantic, which are consolidated by KKR.
Reorganization Agreement
On October 8, 2021, KKR entered into a Reorganization Agreement (the "Reorganization Agreement") with KKR Holdings L.P. ("KKR Holdings"), KKR Management LLP (which holds the sole outstanding share of Series I preferred stock), Associates Holdings, and the other parties thereto. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the parties agreed to undertake a series of integrated transactions to effect a number of transformative structural and governance changes, some of which were completed on May 31, 2022, and other changes to be completed in the future. On May 31, 2022, KKR completed the merger transactions ("Reorganization Mergers") contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement pursuant to which KKR acquired KKR Holdings (which changed its name to KKR Group Holdings L.P.) and all of the KKR Group Partnership Units held by it.
17

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the following transactions will occur in the future on the Sunset Date (as defined below):
i.the control of KKR & Co. Inc. by KKR Management LLP and the Series I Preferred Stock held by it will be eliminated,
ii.the voting rights for all common stock of KKR & Co. Inc., including with respect to the election of directors, will be established on a one vote per share basis, and
iii.KKR will acquire control of Associates Holdings, the entity providing for the allocation of carry proceeds to KKR employees, also known as the carry pool.
The “Sunset Date” will be the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026 and (ii) the six-month anniversary of the first date on which the death or permanent disability of both Mr. Henry Kravis and Mr. George Roberts (collectively, "Co-Founders") has occurred (or any earlier date consented to by KKR Management LLP in its sole discretion). In addition, KKR Management LLP agreed not to transfer its ownership of the sole share of Series I Preferred Stock, and, the changes to occur effective on the Sunset Date are unconditional commitments of the parties to the Reorganization Agreement.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of KKR & Co. Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements (referred to hereafter as the "financial statements"), including these notes, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items) such that the financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2023 were derived from audited financial statements included in KKR & Co. Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 29, 2024 (our "Annual Report"), and the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included therein. Additionally, in the accompanying financial statements, the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition are referred to hereafter as the "consolidated statements of financial condition"; the condensed consolidated statements of operations are referred to hereafter as the "consolidated statements of operations"; the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) are referred to hereafter as the "consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss)"; the condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity are referred to hereafter as the "consolidated statements of changes in equity"; and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows are referred to hereafter as the "consolidated statements of cash flows."
KKR consolidates the financial results of KKR Group Partnership and its consolidated entities, which include the accounts of KKR's investment management and capital markets companies, the general partners of certain unconsolidated investment funds, general partners of consolidated investment funds and their respective consolidated investment funds, Global Atlantic’s insurance companies and certain other entities including CFEs.
The presentations in the consolidated statement of financial condition and consolidated statement of operations reflect the significant industry diversification of KKR by its acquisition of Global Atlantic. Global Atlantic operates an insurance business, and KKR operates an asset management business, which manages the operations of the newly-formed Strategic Holdings segment (see Note 21 - "Segment Reporting"), each of which possess distinct characteristics. As a result, KKR developed a two-tiered approach for the financial statements presentation, where Global Atlantic's insurance operations are presented separately from KKR's asset management business. KKR believes that these separate presentations provide a more informative view of the consolidated financial position and results of operations than traditional aggregated presentations and that reporting Global Atlantic’s insurance operations separately is appropriate given, among other factors, the relative significance of Global Atlantic’s policy liabilities, which are not obligations of KKR. (other than the insurance companies that issued them). If a traditional aggregate presentation were to be used, KKR would expect to eliminate or combine several identical or similar captions, which would condense the presentations, but would also reduce the level of information presented. KKR also believes that using a traditional aggregate presentation would result in no new line items compared to the two-tier presentation included in the financial statements in this report.
In the ordinary course of business, KKR’s Asset Management business, Strategic Holdings business and Insurance business enter into transactions with each other, which may include transactions pursuant to their investment management agreements and certain financing arrangements. The borrowings from these financing arrangements are non-recourse to KKR beyond the assets designated to support such borrowings. All of the investment management and financing arrangements amongst KKR segments are eliminated in consolidation.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
For a detailed discussion about KKR’s significant accounting policies and for further information on accounting updates adopted in the prior year, see Note 2 to the financial statements in the Annual Report. Other than the items listed below, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no significant updates to KKR’s significant accounting policies.


19

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the recognition and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, investment income (loss) and income taxes during the reporting periods. Such estimates include but are not limited to (i) the valuation of investments and financial instruments, (ii) the determination of the income tax provision, (iii) the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, (iv) the impairment of available-for-sale investments, (v) the valuation of insurance policy liabilities, including market risk benefits, (vi) the valuation of embedded derivatives in policy liabilities and funds withheld, (vii) the determination of the allowance for loan losses, and (viii) amortization of deferred revenues and expenses associated with the insurance business.
Certain events particular to each industry and country or region in which the portfolio companies conduct their operations, as well as general market, economic, political and geopolitical, regulatory and public health conditions, may have a significant negative impact on KKR’s investments and profitability. Such events are beyond KKR’s control, and the likelihood that they may occur and the effect on KKR's use of estimates cannot be predicted. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the financial statements.
Compensation and Benefits
Carry Pool Allocation
With respect to our funds that provide for carried interest, KKR allocates a portion of the realized and unrealized carried interest that KKR earns to Associates Holdings, which is referred to as the carry pool, from which KKR's asset management employees and certain other carry pool participants are eligible to receive a carried interest allocation. The allocation is determined based upon a fixed arrangement between Associates Holdings and KKR, and KKR does not exercise discretion on whether to make an allocation to the carry pool upon a realization event. KKR refers to the portion of carried interest that KKR allocates to the carry pool as the carry pool percentage.
As of December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage was fixed at 40%, 43% or 65% by investment fund, depending on the fund’s vintage. For funds that closed after December 31, 2020 but before December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage was fixed at 65%. For funds that closed after June 30, 2017 but before December 31, 2020, the carry pool percentage was fixed at 43%, and the carry pool percentage was fixed at 40% for older funds that contributed to KKR's carry pool. Effective January 2, 2024, KKR is authorized to apply a carry pool percentage in excess of these fixed percentages of up to 80% for all funds.
This increase to the carry pool percentage was approved by a majority of KKR's independent directors, and the carry pool percentage may not be increased above 80% without the further approval of a majority of KKR's independent directors. For funds that closed after December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage is fixed at 80%. For funds that closed prior to December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage is calculated at a fixed percentage of 40%, 43% or 65% (depending on the fund’s vintage) for carried interest realized up to a high water mark, which was established based on the unrealized carried interest balance that existed on January 2, 2024, plus an additional percentage amount up to 80% based on a formulaic allocation, only if the unrealized carried interest balance at any period end exceeds the high water mark. This imposes a limitation of the carry pool allocation for such funds based on the amount of cumulative unrealized carried interest income earned subsequent to December 31, 2023.
For funds that closed before December 31, 2023, if the cumulative carried interest subsequent to December 31, 2023 is not sufficient to fund this formulaic allocation, the allocation of carried interest reverts to the carry pool percentage in effect before this modification. As such, upon modification of the carry pool percentage effective on January 2, 2024, the cumulative unrealized carried interest was not sufficient to fund the additional formulaic allocation percentage in excess of the pre-existing 40%, 43% and 65% carry pool percentages, and therefore no incremental expense was recognized as of such date. The carry pool percentage applicable for all funds that closed prior to December 31, 2023 will not be less than their applicable carry pool percentages of 40%, 43% or 65% prior to December 31, 2023, and will not be more than 80%. The intent of this modification is that for all funds that closed prior to January 2, 2024, upon the final liquidation of each fund, realized carried interest distributed will equal the historical fund carry pool allocations up to the high water mark and only distributions of realized carried interest in excess of the high water mark will be distributed at 80 percent if and only if the unrealized carried interest balance at any period end exceeds the high water mark. Under no circumstance would a distribution of carried interest exceed 80% of the total allocable carried interest at any time.

20

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
KKR accounts for the carry pool as a compensatory profit-sharing arrangement in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities within the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition in conjunction with the related carried interest income and it is recorded as compensation expense. The liability that is recorded in each period reflects the legal entitlement of Associates Holdings at each point in time should the total unrealized carried interest be realized at the value recorded at each reporting date. Upon a reversal of carried interest income, the related carry pool allocation, if any, is also reversed. Accordingly, such compensation expense is subject to both positive and negative adjustments.
Adoption of new accounting pronouncements
Fair value measurement of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022–03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” ("ASU 2022–03"). According to ASU 2022-03, an entity should not consider the contractual sale restriction when measuring the equity security’s fair value and an entity is not allowed to recognize a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account.
ASU 2022–03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. KKR adopted this accounting standard effective January 1, 2024 and its adoption on a prospective basis did not have any material impact on KKR's consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023–02 "Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method" ("ASU 2023–02") to expand the population of investments in tax credit structures that may be eligible to apply the proportional amortization method (“PAM”), if certain criteria are met. The election to use the PAM can be made on a tax credit program-by-program basis. Under the new guidance, certain disclosures are required for investments in tax credit programs for which the PAM is elected. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. KKR adopted this accounting standard effective January 1, 2024 and its adoption did not have any material impact on KKR's consolidated financial statements.
Future application of accounting standards
Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023–07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023–07"). ASU 2023–07 intends to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. KKR is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024–01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards (“ASU 2024–01”). ASU 2024–01 amends the guidance in Accounting Standard Codification 718 (“ASC 718”) by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate and clarify how to apply the scope guidance to determine whether profits interests and similar awards should be accounted for as a share-based payment arrangement under ASC 718 or another standard. ASU 2024–01 will be effective for KKR’s reporting period ended March 31, 2025. KKR is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023–09 "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023–09"). ASU 2023–09 intends to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, requiring disaggregated information about an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as income taxes paid. This is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. KKR is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

4. NET GAINS (LOSSES) FROM INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES - ASSET MANAGEMENT AND STRATEGIC HOLDINGS
Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the consolidated statements of operations consist primarily of the realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments (including foreign exchange gains and losses attributable to foreign denominated investments and related activities) and other financial instruments, including those for which the fair value option has been elected. Unrealized gains or losses result from changes in the fair value of these investments and other financial instruments during a period. Upon disposition of an investment or financial instrument, previously recognized unrealized gains or losses are reversed and an offsetting realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Unrealized gains and losses can be created by changing interest rates or several other factors, including changing credit spreads. Global Atlantic had gross unrealized losses on below investment grade AFS fixed maturity securities of $647.8 million and $694.6 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The single largest unrealized loss on AFS fixed maturity securities was $53.1 million and $53.4 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Global Atlantic had 5,940 and 5,886 securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024, AFS fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more consisted of 4,875 debt securities. These debt securities primarily relate to Corporate, RMBS, and U.S. state, municipal and political subdivisions fixed maturity securities, which have depressed values due primarily to an increase in interest rates since the purchase of these securities. Unrealized losses were not recognized in net income on these debt securities since Global Atlantic neither intends to sell the securities nor does it believe that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost or amortized cost basis. For securities with significant declines in value, individual security level analysis was performed utilizing underlying collateral default expectations, market data and industry analyst reports.

Changing economic conditions and updated assumptions affect Global Atlantic's assessment of the collectibility of commercial mortgage loans. Changing vacancies and rents are incorporated into the analysis that Global Atlantic performs to measure the allowance for credit losses. In addition, Global Atlantic continuously monitors its commercial mortgage loan portfolio to identify risk. Areas of emphasis are properties that have exposure to specific geographic events or have deteriorating credit.
The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for Global Atlantic's residential mortgage loans was 64% and 63% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Loan modifications
Global Atlantic may modify the terms of a loan when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, as a means to optimize recovery of amounts due on the loan. Modifications may involve temporary relief, such as payment forbearance for a short period time (where interest continues to accrue) or may involve more substantive changes to a loan. Changes to the terms of a loan, pursuant to a modification agreement, are factored into the analysis of the loan’s expected credit losses, under the allowance model applicable to the loan.
For commercial mortgage loans, modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are tailored for individual loans and may include interest rate relief, maturity extensions or, less frequently, principal forgiveness. For both residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, the most common modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, aside from insignificant delays in payment, typically involve deferral of missed payments to the end of the loan term, interest rate relief, or maturity extensions.
The tables below present the carrying value of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, for which modifications have been granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
All of the commercial mortgage loans that had a combination of modifications had both interest rate relief and maturity extensions. For these loans, the interest rate relief generally involved either a change from a floating rate or a decrease in fixed rate to a weighted average rate of 3.0% and 5.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The maturity extensions for these loans added a weighted-average of 3.0 years and 1.0 year to the life of the loans, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, Global Atlantic has commitments to lend additional funds of $3.8 million for the modified commercial mortgage loans disclosed above.

8. DERIVATIVES
Asset Management and Strategic Holdings
KKR and certain of its consolidated funds have entered into derivative transactions as part of its overall risk management for its investment strategies. These derivative contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Such contracts may include forward, swap and option contracts related to foreign currencies and interest rates to manage foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk arising from certain assets and liabilities. All derivatives are recognized in Other Assets or Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities and are presented on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of financial condition and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. KKR's derivative financial instruments contain credit risk to the extent that its counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. KKR attempts to reduce this risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions with strong credit ratings.
Insurance
Global Atlantic holds derivative instruments that are primarily used in its hedge program. Global Atlantic has established a hedge program that seeks to mitigate economic impacts primarily from interest rate and equity price movements, while taking into consideration accounting and capital impacts.
Global Atlantic hedges interest rate and equity market risks associated with its insurance liabilities including fixed-indexed annuities, indexed universal life policies, variable annuity policies and variable universal life policies, among others. For fixed-indexed annuities and indexed universal life policies, Global Atlantic generally seeks to use static hedges to offset the exposure primarily created by changes in its embedded derivative balances. Global Atlantic generally purchases options which replicate the crediting rate strategies, often in the form of call spreads. Call spreads are the purchase of a call option matched by the sale of a different call option. For variable annuities and variable universal life policies, Global Atlantic generally seeks to dynamically hedge its exposure to changes in the value of the guarantee it provides to policyholders. Doing so requires the active trading of several financial instruments to respond to changes in market conditions. In addition, Global Atlantic enters into inflation swaps to manage inflation risk associated with inflation-indexed preneed policies.
In the context of specific reinsurance transactions in the institutional channel or acquisitions, Global Atlantic may also enter into hedges which are designed to limit short-term market risks to the economic value of the target assets. From time to time, Global Atlantic also enters into hedges designed to mitigate interest rate and credit risk in investment income, interest expense, and fair value of assets and liabilities. In addition, Global Atlantic enters into currency swaps and forwards to manage any foreign exchange rate risks that may arise from investments denominated in foreign currencies.
Global Atlantic attempts to mitigate the risk of loss due to ineffectiveness under these derivative investments through a regular monitoring process which evaluates the program’s effectiveness. Global Atlantic monitors its derivative activities by reviewing portfolio activities and risk levels. Global Atlantic also oversees all derivative transactions to ensure that the types of transactions entered into and the results obtained from those transactions are consistent with both Global Atlantic's risk management strategy and its policies and procedures.
The restricted cash which was held in connection with open derivative transactions with exchange brokers was $181.7 million and $133.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Global Atlantic also has embedded derivatives related to reinsurance contracts that are accounted for on a modified coinsurance and funds withheld basis. An embedded derivative exists because the arrangement exposes the reinsurer to third-party credit risk. These embedded derivatives are included in funds withheld receivable and payable at interest in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
Credit Risk
Global Atlantic may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties to derivatives. Generally, the current credit exposure of Global Atlantic’s derivatives is limited to the positive fair value of derivatives less any collateral received from the counterparty.
Global Atlantic manages the credit risk on its derivatives by entering into derivative transactions with highly rated financial institutions and other creditworthy counterparties and, where feasible, by trading through central clearing counterparties. Global Atlantic further manages its credit risk on derivatives via the use of master netting agreements, which require the daily posting of collateral by the party in a liability position. Counterparty credit exposure and collateral values are monitored regularly and

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Derivatives designated as accounting hedges
Where Global Atlantic has derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as accounting hedges, these derivative instruments receive hedge accounting.
Global Atlantic has designated foreign exchange ("FX") derivative contracts, including forwards and swaps, to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency-denominated bonds in fair value hedges. These foreign currency-denominated bonds are accounted for as AFS fixed maturity securities. Changes in the fair value of the hedged AFS fixed maturity securities due to changes in spot exchange rates are reclassified from AOCI to earnings, which offsets the earnings impact of the spot changes of the FX derivative contracts, both of which are recognized within investment-related (losses) gains. The effectiveness of these hedges is assessed using the spot method. Changes in the fair value of the FX derivative contracts related to changes in the spot-forward difference are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are deferred in AOCI and recognized in earnings using a systematic and rational method over the life of the FX derivative contracts.
Global Atlantic has designated interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with certain debt and policy liabilities. These fair value hedges qualify for the shortcut method of assessing hedge effectiveness.
The following table presents the financial statement classification, carrying amount and cumulative fair value hedging adjustments for qualifying hedged assets and liabilities:

(2)Carrying amount is the amortized cost for AFS debt securities.
Global Atlantic has designated bond forwards to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the planned purchase of AFS debt securities in cash flow hedges. These arrangements are hedging purchases through December 2027 and are expected to affect earnings until 2053. Regression analysis is used to assess the effectiveness of these hedges.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was a cumulative loss of $(158.2) million and $(126.9) million, respectively, on the currently designated bond forwards recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Amounts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified to net investment income following the qualifying purchases of AFS securities, as an adjustment to the yield earned over the life of the purchased securities, using the effective interest method.
Global Atlantic estimates that the amount of gains/losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months will not be material.

(1)In determining certain of these inputs, management evaluates a variety of factors including economic conditions, industry and market developments, market valuations of comparable companies and company specific developments including exit strategies and realization opportunities. KKR has determined that market participants would take these inputs into account when valuing the investments and debt obligations. "LTM" means last twelve months, and "EBITDA" means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
(2)Inputs were weighted based on the fair value of the investments included in the range.
(3)Unless otherwise noted, this column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level III investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.
(4)The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the market comparables approach would increase the fair value of the Level III investments if the market comparables approach results in a higher valuation than the discounted cash flow approach and transaction price. The opposite would be true if the market comparables approach results in a lower valuation than the discounted cash flow approach and transaction price.
(5)The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the discounted cash flow approach would increase the fair value of the Level III investments if the discounted cash flow approach results in a higher valuation than the market comparables approach, transaction price and direct income capitalization approach. The opposite would be true if the discounted cash flow approach results in a lower valuation than the market comparables approach, transaction price and direct income capitalization approach.
(6)The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the transaction price or milestones would increase the fair value of the Level III investments if the transaction price or milestones results in a higher valuation than the market comparables and discounted cash flow approach. The opposite would be true if the transaction price or milestones results in a lower valuation than the market comparables approach and discounted cash flow approach.
(7)The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the direct income capitalization approach would increase the fair value of the Level III investments if the direct income capitalization approach results in a higher valuation than the discounted cash flow approach. The opposite would be true if the direct income capitalization approach results in a lower valuation than the discounted cash flow approach.

(8)The total energy fair value amount includes multiple investments (in multiple locations throughout North America) that are held in different investment funds and produce varying quantities of oil, condensate, natural gas liquids, and natural gas. Commodity price may be measured using a common volumetric equivalent where one barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") is determined using the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil, condensate or natural gas liquids. The price per BOE is provided to show the aggregate of all price inputs for the various investments over a common volumetric equivalent although the valuations for specific investments may use price inputs specific to the asset for purposes of our valuations. The discounted cash flows include forecasted production of liquids (oil, condensate, and natural gas liquids) and natural gas with a forecasted revenue ratio of approximately 88% liquids and 12% natural gas.
(9)Consists primarily of investments in common stock, preferred stock, warrants and options of companies that are not private equity, real assets, credit, equity method - other or investments of consolidated CFEs.
(10)The funds withheld receivable at interest has been excluded from the above table. As discussed in Note 12 – Reinsurance, the funds withheld receivable at interest is created through funds withheld contracts. The assets supporting these receivables were held in trusts for the benefit of Global Atlantic. Accordingly, the unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation of the embedded derivative are a component of the invested assets supporting the funds withheld reinsurance agreements.

(1)In determining certain of these inputs, management evaluates a variety of factors including economic conditions, industry and market developments, market valuations of comparable companies and company specific developments including exit strategies and realization opportunities. KKR has determined that market participants would likely take these inputs into account when valuing the investments and debt obligations. "LTM" means last twelve months, and "EBITDA" means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
(2)Inputs were weighted based on the fair value of the investments included in the range.
(3)Unless otherwise noted, this column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level III investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.
(4)The fair value of the embedded derivative component of the funds withheld payable at interest has been excluded from the above table. The investments supporting the funds withheld payable at interest balance are held in a trust by Global Atlantic. Accordingly, the unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation of the embedded derivative are a component of the investments supporting the reinsurance cession agreements.
In the table above, certain private equity investments may be valued at cost for a period of time after an acquisition as the best indicator of fair value. In addition, certain valuations of private equity investments may be entirely or partially derived by reference to observable valuation measures for a pending or consummated transaction.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
The various unobservable inputs used to determine the Level III valuations may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements as noted in the table above.
Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value
Asset management and strategic holdings financial instruments are primarily measured at fair value on a recurring basis, except as disclosed in Note 16 "Debt Obligations."

12. REINSURANCE
Global Atlantic maintains a number of reinsurance treaties with third parties whereby Global Atlantic assumes annuity and life policies on a coinsurance, modified coinsurance or funds withheld basis. Global Atlantic also maintains other reinsurance treaties including the cession of certain annuity, life and health policies.
The effects of all reinsurance agreements on the consolidated statements of financial condition were as follows:

A key credit quality indicator is a counterparty’s AM Best financial strength rating. A.M. Best ratings are an independent opinion of a reinsurer’s ability to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders. Global Atlantic mitigates counterparty credit risk by requiring collateral and credit enhancements in various forms including engaging in funds withheld at interest and modified coinsurance transactions. The following shows the amortized cost basis of Global Atlantic’s reinsurance recoverable and funds withheld receivable at interest by credit quality indicator and any associated credit enhancements Global Atlantic has obtained to mitigate counterparty credit risk:

15. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Consolidated VIEs
KKR consolidates certain VIEs in which it is determined that KKR is the primary beneficiary. The consolidated VIEs are predominately CLOs and certain investment funds sponsored by KKR. The primary purpose of these VIEs is to provide strategy specific investment opportunities to earn investment gains, current income or both in exchange for management fees and performance income. KKR's investment strategies differ for these VIEs; however, the fundamental risks have similar characteristics, including loss of invested capital and loss of management fees and performance income. KKR does not provide performance guarantees and has no other financial obligation to provide funding to these consolidated VIEs, beyond amounts previously committed, if any. Furthermore, KKR consolidates certain VIEs that are formed by Global Atlantic to hold investments, including investments in transportation, renewable energy, consumer and other loans and fixed maturity securities.
Unconsolidated VIEs
KKR holds variable interests in certain VIEs which are not consolidated as it has been determined that KKR is not the primary beneficiary. VIEs that are not consolidated predominantly include certain investment funds sponsored by KKR as well as certain investment partnerships where Global Atlantic retains an economic interest. KKR's investment strategies differ by investment fund; however, the fundamental risks have similar characteristics, including loss of invested capital and loss of management fees and performance income. KKR's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investments in the unconsolidated investment funds is the carrying value of such investments, including KKR's capital interest and any unrealized carried interest. Accordingly, disaggregation of KKR's involvement by type of unconsolidated investment fund would not provide more useful information. For these unconsolidated investment funds in which KKR is the sponsor, KKR may have an obligation as general partner to provide commitments to such investment funds. As of March 31, 2024, KKR's commitments to these unconsolidated investment funds were $2.6 billion. KKR has not provided any financial support other than its obligated amount as of March 31, 2024. Additionally, Global Atlantic also has unfunded commitments of $26.7 million in relation to other limited partnership interests as of March 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the maximum exposure to loss, before allocations to the carry pool and noncontrolling interests, if any, for those VIEs in which KKR is determined not to be the primary beneficiary but in which it has a variable interest is as follows:
Asset Management and Strategic Holdings March 31, 2024December 31, 2023

16. DEBT OBLIGATIONS
Asset Management and Strategic Holdings Debt Obligations
KKR enters into credit agreements and issues debt for its general operating and investment purposes. KKR consolidates and reports debt obligations of KKR Financial Holdings LLC, a KKR subsidiary ("KFN"), which are non-recourse to KKR beyond the assets of KFN. From time to time, KKR may provide credit support for the funding obligations of its subsidiaries.
Certain of KKR's consolidated investment funds have entered into financing arrangements with financial institutions, generally to provide liquidity to such investment funds. These financing arrangements are generally not direct obligations of the general partners of KKR's investment funds (beyond KKR's capital interest) or its management companies. Such borrowings have varying maturities and bear interest at floating rates. Borrowings are generally secured by the investment purchased with the proceeds of the borrowing and/or the uncalled capital commitment of each respective fund. When an investment vehicle borrows, the proceeds are available only for use by that investment vehicle and are not available for the benefit of other investment vehicles or KKR. Collateral within each investment vehicle is also available only against borrowings by that investment vehicle and not against the borrowings of other investment vehicles or KKR.
In certain other cases, investments and other assets held directly by majority-owned consolidated investment vehicles and other entities have been funded with borrowings that are collateralized by the investments and assets they own. These borrowings are non-recourse to KKR beyond the investments or assets serving as collateral or the capital that KKR has committed to fund such investment vehicles. Such borrowings have varying maturities and generally bear interest at fixed rates.
In addition, consolidated CFEs issue debt securities to third-party investors which are collateralized by assets held by the CFE. Debt securities issued by CFEs are supported solely by the assets held at the CFEs and are not collateralized by assets of any other KKR entity. CFEs also may have warehouse facilities with banks to provide liquidity to the CFE. The CFE's debt obligations are non-recourse to KKR beyond the assets of the CFE.

KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility
On April 4, 2024, KKR Capital Markets Holdings L.P. and certain other capital markets subsidiaries (the "KCM Borrowers") replaced their existing 364-day revolving credit agreement with a new 364-day revolving credit agreement (the "KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility”) with Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent, and one or more lenders party thereto. The KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility replaces the prior 364-day revolving credit facility, dated as of April 7, 2023, between the KCM Borrowers and the administrative agent, and one or more lenders party to the prior facility, which was terminated according to its terms on April 4, 2024. The KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility provides for revolving borrowings up to $750 million, expires on April 3, 2025, and ranks pari passu with the existing $750 million revolving credit facility provided by them for KKR's capital markets business (the "KCM Credit Facility").
If a borrowing is made under the KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, the interest rate will vary depending on the type of drawdown requested. If the borrowing is (i) denominated in U.S. dollars and a term rate, it will be based on the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), (ii) denominated in euros, it will be based on EURIBOR and (iii) denominated in pounds sterling, it will be based on the Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate ("SONIA"), in each case, plus the applicable margin which ranges initially between 1.50% and 2.75%, depending on the duration of the loan. If the borrowing is an ABR Loan, it will be based on the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (ii) term SOFR for one-month tenor plus 1.00%, in each case, plus the applicable margin which ranges initially between 0.50% and 1.75% depending on the amount and nature of the loan. Borrowings under the KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement may only be used to facilitate the settlement of debt transactions syndicated by KKR's capital markets business. Obligations under the KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement are limited to the KCM Borrowers, which are solely entities involved in KKR's capital markets business, and liabilities under the KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement are non-recourse to other parts of KKR.
The KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant providing for a maximum debt to equity ratio for the KCM Borrowers. The KCM Borrowers' obligations under the KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility are secured by certain assets of the KCM Borrowers, including a pledge of equity interests of certain subsidiaries of the KCM Borrowers.
KCM Credit Facility
On April 4, 2024, the KCM Borrowers (as defined above) also entered into a fourth amended and restated 5-year revolving credit agreement (the “KCM Credit Facility”) with Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. This facility provides for revolving borrowings of up to $750 million with a $750 million sublimit for letters of credit, expires on April 4, 2029 and ranks pari passu with the KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility. The prior facility for the KCM Borrowers, dated as of March 20, 2020 (as amended), between the KCM Borrowers, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, was terminated according to its terms on April 4, 2024 and replaced by the KCM Credit Facility.
If a borrowing is made on the KCM Credit Facility, the interest rate will vary depending on the type of drawdown requested. If the borrowing is (i) denominated in U.S. dollars and a term rate, it will be based on term SOFR, (ii) denominated in euros, it will be based on EURIBOR and (iii) denominated in pounds sterling, it will be based on SONIA, in each case, plus the applicable margin which ranges initially between 1.75% and 3.00%, depending on the amount and nature of the loan. If the loan is an ABR Loan, it will be based on the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (ii) term SOFR for one-month tenor plus 1.00%, in each case, plus the applicable margin which ranges initially between 0.75% and 2.00% depending on the amount and nature of the loan. Obligations under the KCM Credit Facility may only be used for KKR’s capital markets business, and its only obligors are entities involved in KKR’s capital markets business, and its liabilities are non-recourse to other parts of KKR’s business.

(2)The senior notes of the consolidated CLOs had a weighted average interest rate of 6.8%. The subordinated notes of the consolidated CLOs do not have contractual interest rates but instead receive a pro rata amount of the net distributions from the excess cash flows of the respective CLO vehicle. Accordingly, weighted average borrowing rates for the subordinated notes are based on cash distributions during the period, if any.

Debt obligations of consolidated CLOs are collateralized by assets held by each respective CLO vehicle and assets of one CLO vehicle may not be used to satisfy the liabilities of another. As of March 31, 2024, the fair value of the consolidated CLO assets was $27.2 billion. This collateral consisted of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investments, and Other Assets.

Senior Notes Due 2054
Global Atlantic (Fin) Company ("GA FinCo") and Global Atlantic Limited (Delaware) (formerly known as Global Atlantic Financial Limited, "GALD") are both Delaware corporations and wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of TGAFG, the holding company for the Global Atlantic business.
In March 2024, GA FinCo issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior unsecured notes due 2054 (the “GA 2054 Senior Notes”). The GA 2054 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated October 7, 2019, among GA FinCo, as issuer, GALD, as guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, and supplemented by the fifth

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
supplemental indenture thereto, dated March 15, 2024, among GA FinCo, GALD and the trustee. The GA 2054 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by GALD.
The GA 2054 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.750% per year. Interest on the GA 2054 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2024. The GA 2054 Senior Notes will mature on March 15, 2054. GA FinCo may, at its option, redeem some or all of the GA 2054 Senior Notes at any time: (i) prior to September 15, 2053 at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the GA 2054 Senior Notes to be redeemed and a make-whole payment plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption; and (ii) on or after September 15, 2053 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the GA 2054 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
Global Atlantic Credit Agreement
In March 2024, GA FinCo repaid $300 million then outstanding indebtedness under the Global Atlantic Credit Agreement with proceeds from the GA 2054 Senior Notes.
In May 2024, subsequent to the end of the quarter, GA FinCo terminated the existing revolving credit facility (“RCF”) and replaced it with a new credit agreement with GA FinCo, as borrower, GALD, as guarantor, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, that (1) provides for up to $1.0 billion of revolving borrowings, including up to $500 million of letters of credit, (2) has a maturity of May 2029, and (3) contains customary events of default, representations and warranties and covenants that are substantially similar to those that were in the terminated RCF, including the consolidated debt to capitalization and net worth covenants. Interest on any funded borrowings accrues at SOFR plus a spread ranging from 1.225% to 1.975%, based on GALD’s long-term issuer credit ratings. The borrower must pay a commitment fee on any unfunded committed balance under the agreement, ranging from 0.125% to 0.300% based on the long-term issuer credit rating.
Debt Covenants
Borrowings of KKR (including Global Atlantic) contain various debt covenants. These covenants do not, in management's opinion, materially restrict KKR's operating business or investment strategies as of March 31, 2024. KKR (including Global Atlantic) was in compliance with such debt covenants in all material respects as of March 31, 2024.

Separate account liabilities
Separate account assets and liabilities consist of investment accounts established and maintained by Global Atlantic for certain variable annuity and interest-sensitive life insurance contracts. Some of these contracts include minimum guarantees such as GMDBs and GMWBs that guarantee a minimum payment to the policyholder.
The assets that support these variable annuity and interest-sensitive life insurance contracts are measured at fair value and are reported as separate account assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. An equivalent amount is reported as separate account liabilities. Market risk benefit assets and liabilities for minimum guarantees are valued and presented separately from separate account assets and separate account liabilities. For more information on market risk benefits see “—Market risk benefits” in this footnote. Policy charges assessed against the policyholders for mortality, administration and other services are included in “Policy fees” in the consolidated statements of operations.

18. INCOME TAXES
KKR & Co. Inc. is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes at the entity level on its share of taxable income. In addition, KKR Group Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries operate as partnerships for U.S. federal tax purposes but as taxable entities for certain state, local or non-U.S. tax purposes. Moreover, certain corporate subsidiaries of KKR, including certain subsidiaries of Global Atlantic, are domestic corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. Income taxes reported in these consolidated financial statements include the taxes described in this paragraph.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the effective tax rates were 19.7% and 36.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the portion of the reported net income (loss) before taxes not being attributable to KKR but rather being attributable to (i) third-party limited partner interests in consolidated investment funds and (ii) exchangeable securities representing ownership interests in KKR Group Partnership until they are exchanged for common stock of KKR & Co. Inc.
In 2022, changes in market conditions, including rapidly rising interest rates, impacted the unrealized tax gains and losses in the available for sale securities portfolios of Global Atlantic, resulting in deferred tax assets related to net unrealized tax capital losses for which the carryforward period has not yet begun. As such, when assessing recoverability, Global Atlantic considered its ability and intent to hold the underlying securities to recovery. Global Atlantic concluded that a valuation allowance should be established on a portion of the deferred tax assets related to unrealized tax capital losses that are not more-likely-than-not to be realized, which represents the portion of the portfolio Global Atlantic estimates it would not be able to hold to recovery. As of March 31, 2024, Global Atlantic maintained $89.3 million of valuation allowance associated with the unrealized tax capital losses in the available for sale securities portfolio. The establishment of the valuation allowance was recorded in other comprehensive income. Based on available evidence and various assumptions as to the timing of income, KKR believes it is likely that all other deferred tax assets will be realized. There was no change in the valuation allowance recorded as of March 31, 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no material changes to KKR's uncertain tax positions and KKR believes there will not be a significant increase or decrease to these uncertain tax positions within 12 months of the reporting date.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”) was signed into law. The IRA enacted a new 15% corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT") on the "adjusted financial statement income" of certain large corporations, which became effective on January 1, 2023. In addition, the IRA enacted a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases completed after December 31, 2022. KKR reviewed the impact and concluded there was no impact on income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and will continue to review and monitor the issuance of additional guidance from the U.S. Treasury and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
On December 20, 2021, the OECD released Pillar Two Model Rules, which contemplate a global 15% minimum tax rate. The OECD continues to release additional guidance, including administrative guidance on interpretation and application of Pillar Two, and many countries are passing legislation to comply with Pillar Two. The changes contemplated by Pillar Two, when enacted by various countries in which we do business, may increase our taxes in such countries. Based on the available legislation, KKR concluded there was no material impact on income taxes with respect to Pillar Two for the three months ended March 31, 2024. KKR will continue to evaluate the potential future impacts of Pillar Two and will continue to review and monitor the issuance of additional guidance.
On December 27, 2023, the Government of Bermuda enacted the Bermuda Corporate Income Tax (“Bermuda CIT”). Commencing on January 1, 2025, the Bermuda CIT generally will impose a 15% corporate income tax on in-scope entities that are resident in Bermuda or have a Bermuda permanent establishment, without regard to any assurances that been given pursuant to the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966. As a result of the 2024 GA Acquisition, we are now subject to the Bermuda CIT enacted in 2023. Global Atlantic reviewed the potential impact and does not expect that the Bermuda CIT will have a material impact on income taxes for 2024.

KKR Equity Incentive Awards
Under KKR's Equity Incentive Plans, KKR is permitted to grant equity awards representing ownership interests in KKR & Co. Inc. common stock. On March 29, 2019, the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan became effective. Following the effectiveness of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, KKR no longer makes further grants under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, and the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan became KKR's only plan for providing new equity awards by KKR & Co. Inc. Outstanding awards under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan will remain outstanding, unchanged and subject to the terms of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and their respective equity award agreements, until the vesting, expiration or lapse of such awards in accordance with their terms. The total number of equity awards representing shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan is equivalent to 15% of the aggregate number of the shares of common stock and KKR Group Partnership Units (excluding KKR Group Partnership Units held by KKR & Co. Inc. or its wholly-owned subsidiaries), subject to annual adjustment. As of March 31, 2024, 48,896,121 shares may be issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. KKR has also issued equity grants in the form of restricted holdings units through KKR Holdings III L.P. ("KKR Holdings III"), which are not issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and are currently held by certain Global Atlantic employees. Equity awards granted generally consist of (i) restricted stock units that convert into shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. (or cash equivalent) upon vesting and (ii) restricted holdings units that are exchangeable into shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. upon vesting and certain other conditions, including those described below.
Service-Vesting Awards
KKR grants restricted stock units and restricted holdings units that are subject to service-based vesting, typically over a three to five-year period from the date of grant (referred to hereafter as "Service-Vesting Awards"). In certain cases, these Service-Vesting Awards may have a percentage of the award that vests immediately upon grant, and certain Service-Vesting Awards may have vesting periods longer than five years. Additionally, some but not all Service-Vesting Awards are subject to transfer restrictions and/or minimum retained ownership requirements. Generally, the transfer restriction period, if applicable, lasts for (i) one year with respect to one-half of the awards vesting on any vesting date and (ii) two years with respect to the other one-half of the awards vesting on such vesting date. While providing services to KKR, some but not all of these awards are also subject to minimum retained ownership rules requiring the award recipient to continuously hold shares of common stock equivalents equal to at least 15% of their cumulatively vested awards that have or had the minimum retained ownership requirement. Holders of the Service-Vesting Awards do not participate in dividends until such awards have met their vesting requirements.
Expense associated with the vesting of these Service-Vesting Awards is based on the closing price of KKR & Co. Inc. common stock on the date of grant, discounted for the lack of participation rights in the expected dividends on unvested equity awards. Expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the life of the award and assumes a forfeiture rate of up to 7% annually based upon expected turnover by class of recipient.
As of March 31, 2024, there was approximately $981 million of total estimated unrecognized expense related to unvested Service-Vesting Awards, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite service period of 2.4 years.

Market Condition Awards
KKR also grants restricted stock units and restricted holdings units that are subject to both a service-based vesting condition and a market price based vesting condition (referred to hereafter as "Market Condition Awards"). The following is a discussion of the Market Condition Awards, excluding the Co-CEO Awards (as defined and discussed below).
The number of Market Condition Awards (other than the Co-CEO awards) that will vest depend upon (i) the market price of KKR common stock reaching certain price targets that range from $45.00 to $140.00 and (ii) the employee being employed by KKR on a certain date, which typically ranges from five to six years from the date of grant (with exceptions for involuntary termination without cause, death and permanent disability). The market price vesting condition is met when the average closing price of KKR common stock during 20 consecutive trading days meets or exceeds the stock price targets. Holders of the Market Condition Awards do not participate in dividends until such awards have met both their service-based and market price based vesting requirements. Additionally, these awards are subject to additional transfer restrictions and minimum retained ownership requirements after vesting.
Due to the existence of the service requirement, the vesting period for these Market Condition Awards (other than the Co-CEO awards) is explicit, and as such, compensation expense will be recognized on (i) a straight-line basis over the period from the date of grant through the date the award recipient is required to be employed by KKR and (ii) assumes a forfeiture rate of up to 7% annually based upon expected turnover. The fair value of the awards granted are based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. In addition, the grant date fair value assumes that holders of the Market Condition Awards will not participate in dividends until such awards have met all of their vesting requirements.

As of March 31, 2024, 24.1 million units of these Market Condition awards have met their market price based vesting condition.
Co-CEO Awards
On December 9, 2021, the Board of Directors approved grants of 7.5 million restricted holdings units to each of KKR’s Co-Chief Executive Officers that are subject to both a service-based vesting condition and a market price based vesting condition (referred to hereafter as "Co-CEOs Awards"). For both Co-Chief Executive Officers, 20% of the Co-CEOs Awards are eligible to vest at each of the following KKR common stock prices targets: $95.80, $105.80, $115.80, $125.80 and $135.80. The market price based vesting condition is met when the average closing price of KKR common stock during 20 consecutive trading days meets or exceeds the stock price targets. In addition to the market price based vesting conditions, in order for the award to vest, the Co-Chief Executive Officer is required to be employed by KKR on December 31, 2026 (with exceptions for involuntary termination without cause, death and permanent disability).
These awards will be automatically canceled and forfeited upon the earlier of a Co-Chief Executive Officer’s termination of service (except for involuntary termination without cause, death or permanent disability) or the failure to meet the market price based vesting condition by December 31, 2028 (for which continued service is required if the market price vesting condition is met after December 31, 2026). Co-CEO Awards do not participate in dividends until such awards have met both their service-based and market price based vesting requirements. Additionally, these awards are subject to additional transfer restrictions and minimum retained ownership requirements after vesting.
Due to the existence of the service requirement, the vesting period for these Co-CEO Awards is explicit, and as such, compensation expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the period from the date of grant through December 31, 2026 given the derived service period is less than the explicit service period. The fair value of the awards granted are based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. In addition, the grant date fair value assumes that these Co-CEO Awards will not participate in dividends until such awards have met all of their vesting requirements.
Below is a summary of the grant date fair value based on the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model and the significant assumptions used to estimate the grant date fair value of these Co-CEO Awards:
Grant Date Fair Value$48.91

As of March 31, 2024, there was approximately $399 million of total estimated unrecognized expense related to these unvested Co-CEO Awards, which is expected to be recognized ratably from April 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2024, 3.0 million units of these Co-CEO awards have met their market price based vesting condition.

Modification and Replacement of Book Value Awards - Insurance
On February 1, 2021, Global Atlantic adopted the GA Book Value Plan to enhance the ability of Global Atlantic to attract, motivate and retain its employees and to promote the success of the Global Atlantic business.
The GA Book Value Plan authorized the grant of cash-settled awards ("book value awards," or "BVAs") representing the right to receive one or more payments upon vesting equal to the product of an initial dollar value set by the award multiplied by a pre-determined formula as of each applicable vesting date. The predetermined formula is equal to the quotient determined by dividing the book value of one share of TGAFG on the applicable vesting date by the book value of a share on the original grant date, subject to adjustments. Book value awards generally vested in three equal, annual installments, subject to continued employment.
BVAs were accounted for as profit sharing arrangements in accordance with ASC 710. On January 2, 2024, KKR replaced the BVAs with approximately 1.9 million of Service-Vesting Awards granted pursuant to our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, which are accounted for as equity classified awards in scope of ASC 718. As such, this modification resulted in (i) a change in scope from ASC 710 to ASC 718, (ii) a change in classification from liability to equity and (iii) a corresponding reclassification of $77 million from Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities to Additional Paid-In Capital in the consolidated statement of financial condition. Accordingly, these awards will no longer be remeasured to fair value after the modification date. No incremental expense recognition was required upon the modification of the BVAs, because no incremental value was transferred to the employees. The service and vesting conditions of the Service-Vesting Awards mirror those of the BVAs.
Modification and Replacement of GA Equity Incentive Plan Awards - Insurance
On June 24, 2021, Global Atlantic issued 1,000 non-voting incentive shares to a Bermuda exempted partnership owned by certain Global Atlantic employees, who are eligible to receive incentive units under the GA Equity Incentive Plan. These incentive units represented an interest in the receipt of certain amounts based on Global Atlantic's book value, market value, and AUM, in each case as derived in part from the value of TGAFG’s fully-diluted equity shares.
The GA Equity Incentive Plan awards were accounted for as a hybrid compensation plan, consisting of one component most closely aligned with a profit-sharing plan under ASC 710, Compensation - General, as well as other components within scope of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, in all cases with obligations liability-classified. Accordingly, with regard to awards within scope of ASC 710, Global Atlantic recorded expense based on payouts deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable based on the book value growth of Global Atlantic at the grant date and at each reporting period. For award components subject to liability-classification under ASC 718, Global Atlantic recorded expense, net of a 0% estimated forfeiture rate, based on the fair value of awards granted, with periodic adjustments to expense for changes in fair value, over the requisite 5-year service period.
On January 2, 2024, KKR replaced the GA Equity Incentive Plan awards with (i) 1.3 million of Service-Vesting Awards with a remaining vesting period of approximately 2 years and approximately 0.9 million of Market Condition Awards, both of which are accounted for as equity classified awards in scope of ASC 718, and (ii) approximately $54 million in vested KKR Holdings III restricted holdings units. As such, this modification resulted in (i) a change in scope from ASC 710 to ASC 718 for a portion of the award, (ii) a change in classification from liability to equity and (iii) a corresponding reclassification of $149 million from Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities to Additional Paid-In Capital in the consolidated statement of financial condition. No incremental expense recognition was required upon the modification of the GA Equity Incentive Plan awards, because no incremental value was transferred to the employees.
Due to the existence of the service requirement, the vesting period for the Market Condition Awards is explicit, and as such, compensation expense will be recognized on (i) a straight-line basis over the period from the date of grant through the date the award recipient is required to be employed by KKR and (ii) assumes a forfeiture rate of up to 4% annually based upon expected turnover. The fair value of the awards granted are based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model.

21. SEGMENT REPORTING
KKR operates through three reportable segments which are presented below and reflect how its chief operating decision-makers allocate resources and assess performance:
Asset Management - The asset management business offers a broad range of investment management services to investment funds, vehicles and accounts (including Global Atlantic and the Strategic Holdings segment) and provides capital markets services to portfolio companies and third parties. This reportable segment also reflects how its business lines operate collaboratively with predominantly a single expense pool.
Insurance - The insurance business is operated by Global Atlantic, which is a leading U.S. retirement and life insurance company that provides a broad suite of protection, legacy and savings products and reinsurance solutions to clients across individual and institutional markets. Global Atlantic primarily generates income by earning a spread between its investment income and the cost of policyholder benefits.
Strategic Holdings - The strategic holdings business initially represents KKR's participation in the core private equity strategy, which was previously presented in the Asset Management segment’s Principal Activities business line. This segment primarily generates income from dividends from these businesses. Dividends are presented net of management fees paid to our Asset Management segment. If KKR were to sell a portion or all of a business reported in Strategic Holdings, the realized gain or loss would be presented as realized investment income reduced by the performance fee paid to our Asset Management segment.
KKR’s segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and assess performance across KKR’s reportable segments is presented prior to giving effect to the allocation of income (loss) among KKR & Co. Inc. and holders of any exchangeable securities, and the consolidation of the investment funds, vehicles and accounts that KKR advises, manages or sponsors (including CFEs). KKR's segment profitability measure excludes: (i) equity-based compensation charges, (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles, (iii) strategic corporate related charges and (iv) non-recurring items, if any. Strategic corporate related items arise from corporate actions and consist primarily of (i) impairments, (ii) transaction costs from strategic acquisitions, and (iii) depreciation on real estate that KKR owns and occupies. Inter-segment transactions are not eliminated from segment results when management considers those transactions in assessing the results of the respective segments. These transactions include (i) management fees earned by the Asset Management segment as the investment adviser for Global Atlantic insurance companies, (ii) management and performance fees earned by the Asset Management segment from the Strategic Holdings segment, and (iii) interest income and expense based on lending arrangements where the Asset Management segment borrows from the Insurance segment. All these inter-segment transactions are recorded by each segment based on the applicable governing agreements. Total Segment Earnings represents the total segment earnings of KKR’s Asset Management, Insurance and Strategic Holdings segments:
Asset Management Segment Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to assess the performance of the Asset Management segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is comprised of: (i) Fee Related Earnings, (ii) Realized Performance Income, (iii) Realized Performance Income Compensation, (iv) Realized Investment Income, and (v) Realized Investment Income Compensation. The non-operating adjustments made to derive Asset Management Segment Earnings excludes the impact of: (i) unrealized gains (losses) on investments, (ii) unrealized carried interest, and (iii) unrealized carried interest compensation. Management fees earned by KKR as the adviser, manager or sponsor for its investment funds, vehicles and accounts, including its Global Atlantic insurance companies and Strategic Holdings segment, are included in Asset Management Segment Earnings.
Insurance Operating Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to assess the performance of the Insurance segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is comprised of: (i) Net Investment Income, (ii) Net Cost of Insurance, and (iii) General, Administrative, and Other Expenses. The non-operating adjustments made to derive Insurance Operating Earnings excludes the impact of: (i) investment gains (losses) which include realized gains (losses) related to asset/liability matching investment strategies and unrealized investment gains (losses) and (ii) non-operating changes in policy liabilities and derivatives which includes (a) changes in the fair value of market risk benefits and other policy liabilities measured at fair value and related benefit payments, (b) fees attributed to guaranteed benefits, (c) derivatives used to manage the risks associated with policy liabilities, and (d) losses at contract issuance on payout annuities. Insurance Operating Earnings includes (i) realized gains and losses not related to asset/liability matching investment strategies and (ii) the investment management costs that are earned by our Asset Management segment as the investment adviser of the Global Atlantic insurance companies.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to assess the performance of the Strategic Holdings segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is comprised of: Dividends, Net and Net Realized Investment Income. The non-operating adjustment made to derive Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings excludes the impact of unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings includes management fees and performance fee expenses that are earned by the Asset Management segment.
Modification of Segment Information
In connection with building and scaling of the core private equity strategy on KKR’s balance sheet and the acquisition of the remaining minority equity interests in Global Atlantic on January 2, 2024, KKR reevaluated the manner in which it makes operational and resource deployment decisions and assesses the overall performance of KKR's business. Effective with the first quarter of 2024, KKR has made changes with respect to the preparation of the reports used by KKR's chief operating decision makers. As a result, KKR has modified the presentation of its segment financial information with retrospective application to all prior periods presented.
The most significant changes between KKR's current segment presentation and its previous segment presentation reported prior to the first quarter of 2024, are as follows:
Creating a new business segment, Strategic Holdings - The new segment is currently comprised of KKR’s participation in its core private equity strategy. Our participation in the core private equity strategy has scaled into a business KKR now evaluates separately from its Asset Management segment. Additionally, KKR may also acquire other long-term assets that are not part of the core private equity strategy for this segment. As of the first quarter of 2024, KKR’s participation in its core private equity strategy will no longer be reported as part of the Asset Management segment. The Asset Management segment continues to represent KKR's business separate from its insurance operations and continues to reflect how the chief operating decision makers allocate resources and assess performance in the asset management business, which includes operating collaboratively across its business lines, with predominantly a single expense pool. Effective as of the first quarter of 2024, the results of our Strategic Holdings segment will include a management fee and performance fee that is paid to our Asset Management segment for providing advisory services rather than allocating the costs borne by our Asset Management segment to support our Strategic Holdings segment. The historical amounts presented herein do not include any management or performance fees that will be charged since the governing agreement was not in place prior to the first quarter of 2024.
Segment Earnings - Segment Earnings is the performance measure for KKR's segment profitability and is used by management in making operational decisions and to assess performance.

22. EQUITY
Stockholders' Equity
Common Stock
The common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. is entitled to vote as provided by its certificate of incorporation, Delaware General Corporation Law and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Subject to preferences that apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time on which dividends are payable, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines to declare dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that the Board of Directors may determine. The common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.
Series I Preferred Stock
Except for any distribution required by Delaware law to be made upon a dissolution event, the holders of Series I preferred stock do not have any economic rights to receive dividends. Series I preferred stock is entitled to vote on various matters that may be submitted to vote of the stockholders and the other matters as set forth in the certificate of incorporation. Upon a dissolution event, each holder of Series I preferred stock will be entitled to a payment equal to $0.01 per share of Series I preferred stock. The Series I preferred stock will be eliminated on the Sunset Date (as defined in Note 1 "Organization"), which is scheduled to occur not later than December 31, 2026.
Share Repurchase Program
The repurchase program does not have an expiration date. Under KKR's repurchase program, shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by KKR in its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. In addition to the repurchases of common stock, the repurchase program will be used for the retirement (by cash settlement or the payment of tax withholding amounts upon net settlement) of equity awards granted pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plans representing the right to receive common stock. KKR expects that the program, which has no expiration date, will be in effect until the maximum approved dollar amount has been used. The program does not require KKR to repurchase or retire any specific number of shares of common stock or equity awards, respectively, and the program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. As of April 26, 2024, there was approximately $101 million remaining under the program. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the share repurchase program has been amended such that when the remaining available amount under the share repurchase program becomes $50 million or less, the total available amount under the share repurchase program will automatically add an additional $500 million to the then remaining available amount of $50 million or less.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, no shares of common stock were repurchased, and no equity awards were retired under the repurchase program.

Change in KKR & Co. Inc.'s Ownership Interest
Vesting of restricted holdings units results in a change in ownership in KKR Group Partnership L.P., while KKR retains a controlling interest, and is accounted for as an equity transaction between the controlling and noncontrolling interests.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities represent the non-redeemable ownership interests in KKR that are held primarily by:
(i)third party fund investors in KKR's consolidated funds and certain other entities;
(ii)third parties in KKR's Capital Markets business line;
(iii)certain current and former employees who hold exchangeable securities; and
(iv)certain third-party investors in Global Atlantic's consolidated renewable energy entities and certain other entities.

23. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Redeemable noncontrolling interests represent:
(i) Noncontrolling interests of certain KKR investment funds and vehicles that are subject to periodic redemption by fund investors following the expiration of a specified period of time, or may be withdrawn subject to a redemption fee during the period when capital may not be otherwise withdrawn. Consolidated fund investor's interests subject to redemption as described above are presented as Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition and presented as Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. When redeemable amounts become legally payable to fund investors, they are classified as a liability and included in Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.
(ii) Global Atlantic has redeemable noncontrolling interests related to renewable energy entities of approximately $47.0 million and $47.8 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, as determined by the hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") method. The estimated redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests is calculated as the discounted cash flows subsequent to the expected flip date of the respective renewable energy entity. The flip date represents the date at which the allocation of income and cash flows among the investors in the entity is adjusted, pursuant to the redeemable noncontrolling interest investors having achieved an agreed-upon return. The flip date of renewable energy partnerships determines when the redeemable noncontrolling interests are eligible to be redeemed. Eligible redemption dates range from January 1, 2028 to June 30, 2028. For the redeemable noncontrolling interests outstanding as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the estimated redemption value that would be due at the respective redemption dates is $3.2 million.
The following table presents the calculation of Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests:

24. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Funding Commitments and Others
As of March 31, 2024, KKR had unfunded commitments consisting of $7.9 billion to its investment funds and vehicles. KKR has also agreed for certain of its investment vehicles to fund or otherwise be liable for a portion of their investment losses (up to a maximum of approximately $61.1 million) and/or to provide them with liquidity upon certain termination events (the maximum amount of which is unknown until the scheduled termination date of the investment vehicle).
In addition to these uncalled commitments and funding obligations to KKR's investment funds and vehicles, KKR has entered into contractual commitments primarily with respect to underwriting transactions, debt financing, revolving credit facilities, and syndications in KKR's Capital Markets business line. As of March 31, 2024, these commitments amounted to $504.0 million. Whether these amounts are actually funded, in whole or in part, depends on the contractual terms of such commitments, including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions to closing or funding. KKR's capital markets business has arrangements with third parties, which reduce its risk when underwriting certain debt transactions, and thus our unfunded commitments as of March 31, 2024 have been reduced to reflect the amount to be funded by such third parties. As of March 31, 2024, KKR's capital markets business line has entered into such arrangements representing a total notional amount of $4.5 billion. In the case of purchases of investments or assets in our Principal Activities business line, the amount to be funded includes amounts that are intended to be syndicated to third parties, and the actual amounts to be funded may be less.
Global Atlantic has commitments to purchase or fund investments of $3.8 billion as of March 31, 2024. These commitments include those related to mortgage loans, other lending facilities and other investments. For those commitments that represent a contractual obligation to extend credit, Global Atlantic has recorded a liability of $54.0 million for current expected credit losses as of March 31, 2024.
In addition, Global Atlantic has entered into certain forward flow agreements to purchase loans. Global Atlantic's obligations under these agreements are subject to change, curtailment, and cancellation based on various provisions including repricing mechanics, due diligence reviews, and performance or pool quality, among other factors.
Non-cancelable Operating Leases
KKR's non-cancelable operating leases consist of leases of office space around the world. There are no material rent holidays, contingent rent, rent concessions or leasehold improvement incentives associated with any of these property leases. In addition to base rentals, certain lease agreements are subject to escalation provisions and rent expense is recognized on a straight‑line basis over the term of the lease agreement.
Global Atlantic also enters into land leases for its consolidated investments in renewable energy.
Contingent Repayment Guarantees
The partnership documents governing KKR's carry-paying investment funds and vehicles generally include a "clawback" provision that, if triggered, may give rise to a contingent obligation requiring the general partner to return amounts to the fund for distribution to the fund investors at the end of the life of the fund. Under a clawback obligation, upon the liquidation of a fund, the general partner is required to return, typically on an after-tax basis, previously distributed carry to the extent that, due to the diminished performance of later investments, the aggregate amount of carry distributions received by the general partner during the term of the fund exceed the amount to which the general partner was ultimately entitled, including the effects of any performance thresholds. KKR has guaranteed its general partners' clawback obligations.
As of March 31, 2024, approximately $550 million of carried interest was subject to this clawback obligation, assuming that all applicable carry-paying funds and their alternative investment vehicles were liquidated at their March 31, 2024 fair values. Although KKR would be required to remit the entire amount to fund investors that are entitled to receive the clawback payment, KKR would be entitled to seek reimbursement of approximately $223 million of that amount from Associates Holdings, which is not a KKR subsidiary. As of March 31, 2024, Associates Holdings had access to cash reserves sufficient to reimburse the full $223 million that would be due to KKR. If the investments in all carry-paying funds were to be liquidated at zero value, the clawback obligation would have been approximately $3.7 billion, and KKR would be entitled to seek reimbursement of approximately $1.6 billion of that amount from Associates Holdings. KKR will acquire control of Associates Holdings when a subsidiary of KKR becomes its general partner upon the closing of the transactions contemplated to occur on the Sunset Date (as defined in Note 1 "Organization"), which will occur not later than December 31, 2026.
92

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Carried interest is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on the contractual conditions set forth in the agreements governing the fund as if the fund were terminated and liquidated at the reporting date and the fund's investments were realized at the then estimated fair values. Amounts earned pursuant to carried interest are earned by the general partner of those funds to the extent that cumulative investment returns are positive and where applicable, preferred return thresholds have been met. If these investment amounts earned decrease or turn negative in subsequent periods, recognized carried interest will be reversed and to the extent that the aggregate amount of carry distributions received by the general partner during the term of the fund exceed the amount to which the general partner was ultimately entitled, a clawback obligation would be recorded. For funds that are consolidated, this clawback obligation, if any, is reflected as an increase in noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of financial condition. For funds that are not consolidated, this clawback obligation, if any, is reflected as a reduction of KKR's investment balance as this is where carried interest is initially recorded.
Indemnifications and Other Guarantees
Asset Management and Strategic Holdings Segment
KKR may incur contingent liabilities for claims that may be made against it in the future. KKR enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations, warranties and covenants, including indemnifications. KKR (including KFN) and certain of KKR's investment funds have provided and provide certain credit support, such as indemnities and guarantees, relating to a variety of matters, including non-recourse carve-out guarantees for fraud, willful misconduct and other wrongful acts in connection with the financing of (i) certain real estate investments that we have made, including KKR's corporate real estate, and (ii) certain investment vehicles that KKR manages or sponsors.

KKR also has provided, and provides, credit support in connection with its businesses, including:
i.to certain of its subsidiaries' obligations in connection with a limited number of investment vehicles that KKR manages,

ii.in connection with repayment and funding obligations to third-party lenders on behalf of certain employees, excluding its executive officers, in connection with their personal investments in KKR investment funds and a levered multi-asset investment vehicle,

iii.to one of its hedge fund partnerships,

iv.through a contingent guarantee of a subsidiary’s loan repayment obligations, which does not become effective unless and until its loan becomes accelerated due to certain specified events of default involving the investment vehicles managed by KJRM,

v.the obligations of our subsidiaries' funding obligations to our investment vehicles, and

vi.certain of our investment vehicles to fund or otherwise be liable for a portion of their investment losses and/or to provide them with liquidity upon certain termination events (the maximum amount of which is unknown until the scheduled termination date of the investment vehicle).

KKR may also become liable for certain fees payable to sellers of businesses or assets if a transaction does not close, subject to certain conditions, if any, specified in the acquisition agreements for such businesses or assets.
Insurance Segment
The Global Atlantic business was formerly owned by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "Goldman Sachs"). In connection with the separation of Global Atlantic from Goldman Sachs in 2013, Global Atlantic entered into a tax benefit payment agreement with Goldman Sachs. Under the tax benefit payment agreement, GA FinCo is obligated to make annual payments out of available cash, guaranteed by GAFG, to Goldman Sachs over an approximately 25-year period totaling $214.0 million. As of March 31, 2024, the present value of the remaining amount to be paid is $47.8 million. Although these payments are subordinated and deferrable, deferral of these payments would result in restrictions on distributions by GA FinCo and GAFG.
Unless otherwise stated above, KKR's maximum exposure under the arrangements described under this section “—Indemnifications and Other Guarantees” are currently unknown as there are no stated or notional amounts included in these arrangements and KKR's liabilities for these matters would require a claim to be made against KKR in the future.

Legal Proceedings
From time to time, KKR (including Global Atlantic) is involved in various legal proceedings, requests for information, lawsuits, arbitration and claims incidental to the conduct of KKR's businesses. KKR's businesses are also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory or other legal proceedings against them. Moreover, in the ordinary course of business, KKR is and can be both the defendant and the plaintiff in numerous lawsuits with respect to acquisitions, bankruptcy, insolvency and other events. Such lawsuits may involve claims that adversely affect the value of certain investments owned by KKR's funds and Global Atlantic's insurance companies.
Kentucky Matter
In December 2017, KKR & Co. L.P. (which is now KKR Group Co. Inc.) and its then Co-Chief Executive Officers, Henry Kravis and George Roberts, were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in Kentucky state court (the “2017 Action”) alleging, among other things, the violation of fiduciary and other duties in connection with certain separately managed accounts that Prisma Capital Partners LP, a former subsidiary of KKR, manages for the Kentucky Retirement Systems. Also named as defendants in the lawsuit are certain current and former trustees and officers of the Kentucky Retirement Systems, Prisma Capital Partners LP, and various other service providers to the Kentucky Retirement Systems and their related persons. The 2017 Action was dismissed at the direction of the Supreme Court of Kentucky for lack of Kentucky constitutional standing. This dismissal became final on February 16, 2024.
On July 21, 2020, the Office of the Attorney General, on behalf of the Commonwealth of Kentucky (the "Kentucky AG"), filed a new lawsuit in the same Kentucky state court (the “2020 AG Action”) making essentially the same allegations as those raised in the 2017 Action, including against what was then KKR & Co. Inc. (now KKR Group Co. Inc.) and Messrs. Kravis and Roberts. On May 1, 2024, the trial court denied motions to dismiss the 2020 AG Action filed by KKR & Co. Inc. and Messrs. Kravis and Roberts.
On April 8, 2024, after receiving permission from the Kentucky trial court in the 2020 AG Action, the Kentucky AG amended its complaint in the 2020 AG Action to add a claim for breach of contract. The Kentucky AG also filed an action (the "2024 AG Action") substantially identical to the 2020 AG Action, including the new claim for breach of contract. On April 23, 2024, KKR & Co. Inc., Messrs. Kravis and Roberts and other defendants moved to strike the Kentucky AG's amended complaint in the 2020 AG Action, to stay consideration of the breach of contract claim and the 2024 AG Action until after the trial court's ruling on the motions to dismiss the 2020 AG Action, and to deny a motion by the Kentucky AG to consolidate the 2020 AG Action and the 2024 AG Action.
In January 2021, some of the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the 2017 Action filed a new lawsuit on behalf of a new set of plaintiffs, who claim to be “Tier 3” members of Kentucky Retirement Systems (the “Tier 3 Plaintiffs”), alleging substantially the same allegations as in the 2017 Action. On July 9, 2021, the Tier 3 Plaintiffs served an amended complaint, which purports to assert, on behalf of a class of beneficiaries of Kentucky Retirement Systems, direct claims for breach of fiduciary duty and civil violations under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”). This complaint was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, which has entered an order staying this case until the completion of the 2020 AG Action. On August 20, 2021, the Tier 3 Plaintiffs and other individual plaintiffs filed a second complaint in Kentucky state court (the “Second Tier 3 Action”), purportedly on behalf of Kentucky Retirement Systems’ funds, alleging the same claims against what was then KKR & Co. Inc. (now KKR Group Co. Inc.) and Messrs. Kravis and Roberts as in the July 9th amended complaint but without the RICO or class action allegations. On May 1, 2024, the trial court denied motions to dismiss the Second Tier 3 Action filed by KKR & Co. Inc. and Messrs. Kravis and Roberts.
On March 24, 2022, in a separate declaratory judgment action brought by the Commonwealth of Kentucky regarding the enforceability of certain indemnification provisions available to what was then KKR & Co. Inc. (now KKR Group Co. Inc.) and Prisma Capital Partners LP, the Kentucky state court concluded that it has personal jurisdiction over KKR & Co. Inc. in that action, and that the indemnification provisions violated the Kentucky Constitution and were therefore unenforceable. On December 1, 2023, the Kentucky Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s summary judgment on the issue of personal jurisdiction over KKR & Co. Inc., but affirmed the trial court’s rulings that the indemnification provisions violated the Kentucky Constitution and were unenforceable. On February 5, 2024, the Kentucky Court of Appeals denied the petitions of KKR & Co. Inc. and others for rehearing. On April 8, 2024, KKR & Co. Inc. and other defendants in the declaratory judgment case filed motions with the Supreme Court of Kentucky for discretionary review of the Court of Appeals' December 1, 2023 decision.
KKR intends to continue to vigorously defend against these claims against KKR and Messrs. Kravis and Roberts.
Regulatory Matters
94

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
KKR currently is, and expects to continue to become from time to time, subject to various examinations, inquiries and investigations by various U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies. Such examinations, inquiries and investigations may result in the commencement of civil, criminal or administrative proceedings, or the imposition of fines, penalties, or other remedies, against KKR and its personnel. KKR is subject to periodic examinations of its regulated businesses by various U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, Central Bank of Ireland, Monetary Authority of Singapore, U.S. state insurance regulatory authorities, and the Bermuda Monetary Authority. KKR may also become subject to inquiries or investigations (through a request for information, civil investigative demand, subpoena or otherwise) by any of the foregoing governmental and regulatory agencies as well as by any other U.S. or non-U.S. governmental or regulatory agency, including but not limited to the SEC, U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ"), U.S. state attorney generals, and similar non-U.S. governmental or regulatory agencies. KKR is currently subject to investigations by the Antitrust Division of the DOJ related to antitrust matters, including civil investigative demands and a grand jury subpoena seeking information with respect to the accuracy and completeness of certain filings made by KKR pursuant to the premerger notification requirements under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act of 1976 for certain transactions in 2021 and 2022. In addition, KKR is currently subject to an investigation by the Antitrust Division of the DOJ related to the restrictions on interlocking directorates under Section 8 of the Clayton Act. KKR is also currently subject to investigations by the SEC related to business-related electronic communications, including with respect to the preservation of text messages and similar communications on electronic messaging applications under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. KKR is currently cooperating with each of these named investigations.

Loss Contingencies
KKR establishes an accrued liability for legal or regulatory proceedings only when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. KKR includes in its financial statements the amount of any reserve for regulatory, litigation and related matters that Global Atlantic includes in its financial statements. No loss contingency is recorded for matters where such losses are either not probable or reasonably estimable (or both) at the time of determination. Such matters also have the possibility of resulting in losses in excess of any amounts accrued. To the extent KKR can in any particular period estimate an aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, these decisions involve significant judgment given that it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss for a matter is probable or even possible or to estimate the amount of any loss in many legal, governmental and regulatory matters.
Estimating an accrued liability or a reasonably possible loss involves significant judgment due to many uncertainties, including among others: (i) the proceeding may be in early stages; (ii) damages sought may be unspecified, unsupportable, unexplained or uncertain; (iii) discovery may not have been started or is incomplete; (iv) there may be uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (v) there may be significant factual issues to be resolved; (vi) there may be novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories to be presented or a large number of parties; or (vii) the proceeding relates to a regulatory examination, inquiry, or investigation. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of all pending litigations, arbitrations, claims, and governmental or regulatory examinations, inquiries, investigations and proceedings, and some of the matters discussed above seek or may seek potentially large or indeterminate relief. Consequently, management is unable as of the date of filing of this report to estimate an amount or range of reasonably possible losses related to matters pending against KKR. In addition, any amounts accrued as loss contingencies or disclosed as reasonably possible losses may be, in part or in whole, subject to insurance or other payments such as contributions and indemnity, which may reduce any ultimate loss.
As of the date of filing this report, management does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcomes of the matters pending against KKR will have a material adverse effect upon its financial statements. However, given the potentially large and/or indeterminate relief sought or that may be sought in certain of these matters and the inherent unpredictability of litigations, arbitrations, claims, and governmental or regulatory examinations, inquiries, investigations and proceedings, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could have a material adverse effect on KKR's financial results in any future period. In addition, there can be no assurance that material losses will not be incurred from claims that have not yet been asserted or those where potential losses have not yet been determined to be probable or possible and reasonably estimable.

Overview
We are a leading global investment firm that offers alternative asset management as well as capital markets and insurance solutions. We aim to generate attractive investment returns by following a patient and disciplined investment approach, employing world-class people, and supporting growth in our portfolio companies and communities. We sponsor investment funds that invest in private equity, credit and real assets and have strategic partners that manage hedge funds. Our insurance subsidiaries offer retirement, life and reinsurance products under the management of Global Atlantic.
Our asset management business offers a broad range of investment management services to fund investors around the world. Throughout our history, we have consistently been a leader in the private equity industry, having completed approximately 740 private equity investments in portfolio companies with a total transaction value in excess of $715 billion as of March 31, 2024. Since the inception of our firm in 1976, we have expanded our investment strategies and product offerings from traditional private equity to areas such as leveraged credit, alternative credit, infrastructure, energy, real estate, growth equity, core private equity, and impact investments. We also provide capital markets services for our firm, our portfolio companies and third parties. Our balance sheet provides a significant source of capital in the growth and expansion of our business, and it has allowed us to further align our interests with those of our fund investors. Building on these efforts and leveraging our industry expertise and intellectual capital have allowed us to capitalize on a broader range of the opportunities we source and has also enabled the firm to establish a new reporting segment called Strategic Holdings, which is currently comprised of the firm’s participation in our core private equity strategy.
Our insurance business is operated by Global Atlantic, in which we acquired a majority controlling interest on February 1, 2021 and the remaining equity interests in Global Atlantic that KKR did not already own on January 2, 2024. Global Atlantic is a leading retirement and life insurance company that provides a broad suite of protection, legacy and savings products and reinsurance solutions to clients across individual and institutional markets. Global Atlantic primarily offers individuals fixed-rate annuities, fixed-indexed annuities and targeted life products through a network of banks, broker-dealers and independent marketing organizations. Global Atlantic provides its institutional clients customized reinsurance solutions, including block, flow and pension risk transfer reinsurance, as well as funding agreements. Global Atlantic primarily generates income by earning a spread between its investment income and the cost of policyholder benefits. As of March 31, 2024, Global Atlantic served over three million policyholders.

Asset Management
Our asset management business offers a broad range of investment management services to fund investors around the world. In our asset management business, we have five business lines: (1) Private Equity, (2) Real Assets, (3) Credit and Liquid Strategies, (4) Capital Markets, and (5) Principal Activities. In addition to the overviews of each of these business lines provided in this report, please also refer to our Annual Report. As an asset management firm, we earn fees, including management fees and incentive fees, and carried interest for providing investment management and other services to our funds, vehicles, CLOs, managed accounts and portfolio companies, and we generate transaction fees from capital markets transactions. We earn additional investment income by investing our own capital alongside that of our fund investors and from other assets on our balance sheet. Carried interest we receive from our funds and certain other investment vehicles entitles us to a specified percentage of investment gains that are generated on third-party capital that is invested. The Asset Management segment continues to reflect how the chief operating decision makers allocate resources and assess performance in the asset management business, which includes operating collaboratively across asset management business lines, with predominantly a single expense pool.
Private Equity
Through our Private Equity business line, we manage and sponsor a group of private equity funds that invest capital for long-term appreciation, either through controlling ownership of a company or strategic non-controlling minority positions. In addition to our traditional private equity funds that invest in large and mid-sized companies, we sponsor funds that invest in core private equity, growth equity, and impact investments. Our Private Equity business line includes separately managed accounts that invest in multiple strategies, which may include our credit and real assets strategies, as well as our private equity strategies. These funds and accounts are managed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., an SEC-registered investment adviser. As of March 31, 2024, our Private Equity business line had $182.8 billion of AUM, consisting of $129.5 billion in traditional private equity, $35.2 billion in core private equity and $18.1 billion in growth equity, which includes $4.5 billion of impact investments.
The table below presents information as of March 31, 2024, relating to our current private equity and other vehicles reported in our Private Equity business line for which we have the ability to earn carried interest. This data does not reflect acquisitions or disposals of investments, changes in investment values, or distributions occurring after March 31, 2024.

(1)These funds were not contributed to KKR as part of the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of KKR & Co. (Guernsey) L.P. (formerly known as KKR Private Equity Investors, L.P.) on October 1, 2009.
(2)Where commitments are not U.S. dollar-denominated, such amounts have been converted into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate prevailing on March 31, 2024.
(3)The gross IRR, net IRR and gross multiple of invested capital are calculated for our investment funds that made their first investment at least 24 months prior to March 31, 2024. We therefore have not calculated gross IRRs, net IRRs and gross multiples of invested capital with respect to these funds.
(4)An investment is considered realized when it has been disposed of or has otherwise generated disposition proceeds or current income that has been distributed by the relevant fund.
101

(5)IRRs measure the aggregate annual compounded returns generated by a fund's investments over a holding period. Net IRRs are calculated after giving effect to the allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest and the payment of any applicable management fees and organizational expenses. Gross IRRs are calculated before giving effect to the allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest and the payment of any applicable management fees and organizational expenses.
The gross multiples of invested capital measure the aggregate value generated by a fund's investments in absolute terms. Each multiple of invested capital is calculated by adding together the total realized and unrealized values of a fund's investments and dividing by the total amount of capital invested by the fund. Such amounts do not give effect to the allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest or the payment of any applicable management fees or organizational expenses.
KKR's Private Equity and Real Assets funds may utilize third-party financing facilities to provide liquidity to such funds. The above net and gross IRRs are calculated from the time capital contributions are due from fund investors to the time fund investors receive a related distribution from the fund, and the use of such financing facilities generally decreases the amount of time that would otherwise be used to calculate IRRs, which tends to increase IRRs when fair value grows over time and decrease IRRs when fair value decreases over time. KKR's Private Equity and Real Assets funds also generally provide in certain circumstances, which vary depending on the relevant fund documents, for a portion of capital returned to investors to be restored to unused commitments as recycled capital. For KKR's Private Equity and Real Assets funds that have a preferred return, we take into account recycled capital in the calculation of IRRs and multiples of invested capital because the calculation of the preferred return includes the effect of recycled capital. For KKR's Private Equity and Real Assets funds that do not have a preferred return, we do not take recycled capital into account in the calculation of IRRs and multiples of invested capital. The inclusion of recycled capital generally causes invested and realized amounts to be higher and IRRs and multiples of invested capital to be lower than had recycled capital not been included. The inclusion of recycled capital would reduce the composite net IRR of all Included Funds by 0.1% and the composite net IRR of all Legacy Funds by 0.5% and would reduce the composite multiple of invested capital of Included Funds by less than 0.1 and the composite multiple of invested capital of Legacy Funds by 0.4.

Credit and Liquid Strategies
Through our Credit and Liquid Strategies business line, we report our credit and hedge funds platforms on a combined basis. As of March 31, 2024, our Credit and Liquid Strategies business line had $259.5 billion of AUM, comprised of $130.3 billion of assets managed in our leveraged credit strategies, $92.7 billion of assets managed in our private credit strategy, $9.2 billion of assets managed in our strategic investments group (“SIG”) strategy, and $27.3 billion of assets managed through our hedge fund platform. We manage $137.0 billion of credit investments for our Global Atlantic insurance companies. Our BDCs have approximately $15.3 billion in assets under management, which is reflected in the AUM of our leveraged credit and private credit strategies above. We report all of the assets under management of our BDCs in our AUM, but we report only a pro rata portion of the assets under management of our hedge fund partnerships based on our percentage ownership in them.
Credit
Our credit platform invests capital in a broad range of corporate debt and collateral-backed investments across asset classes and capital structures. Our credit strategies are primarily managed by KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC, which is an SEC-registered investment adviser, KKR Credit Advisors (Ireland) Unlimited Company, which is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (“CBI”), KKR Credit Advisors (EMEA) LLP, which is regulated by the United Kingdom ("UK") Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), and KKR Credit Advisors (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., which is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We also jointly own with a third party FS/KKR Advisor, LLC, an investment adviser registered with the SEC that provides investment advisory services to certain registered investment companies, including FS KKR Capital Corp. (NYSE: FSK), a publicly listed BDC and KKR FS Income Trust, a privately-offered BDC.
Our hedge funds platform consists of strategic partnerships with third-party hedge fund managers in which KKR owns a minority stake. Our hedge fund partnerships offer a range of alternative investment strategies, including long/short equity and hedge fund-of-funds.
Our credit business pursues a variety of investment strategies in leveraged credit and alternative credit.
Leveraged Credit. Our leveraged credit strategies seek to primarily invest in leveraged loans (including revolving credit facilities), CLOs, high yield bonds, structured credit, stressed securities and illiquid credits. Within leveraged credit, we manage both single-asset class and multi-asset class pools of capital. Our opportunistic credit strategy seeks to deploy capital across investment themes that seek to take advantage of credit market dislocations, spanning asset types and liquidity profiles. Our multi-asset credit strategy seeks to dynamically allocate across asset types in a broadly diversified strategy. Our revolving credit strategy invests in senior secured revolving credit facilities.
102

Alternative Credit. Our alternative credit strategy consists of our (i) private credit strategies and (ii) investments overseen by our credit platform’s SIG group:
Private Credit. Our private credit strategies focus on privately or directly originated and negotiated transactions. These strategies include direct lending typically in the senior part of a company’s capital structure, junior mezzanine debt, and asset-based finance. Through our direct lending strategy, we seek to make investments in primarily senior debt financings for middle-market companies. Through our junior mezzanine debt strategy, investments typically consist of subordinated debt, which generates a current yield, coupled with marginal equity exposure for additional upside potential. Our asset-based finance strategy focuses on portfolios of financial loans and loans backed by hard assets.
Strategic Investments Group. This strategy seeks to provide strategic capital solutions to high quality, mid-to-large cap companies and assets. The strategy pursues investments in corporate credit as well as asset or real estate-backed credit, where we believe market volatility or other investment themes have created the opportunity to invest opportunistically across the capital structure and through market cycles to generate outsized returns with downside-protected securities. These investments may include stressed or distressed investments (including post-restructuring equity), control-oriented opportunities, rescue financing (debt or equity investments made to address covenant, maturity or liquidity issues), debtor-in-possession or exit financing and other event-driven investments in debt or equity.
Hedge Fund Platform
Our hedge fund platform consists of strategic partnerships with third-party hedge fund managers in which KKR owns a minority stake. This principally consists of a 39.6% interest in Marshall Wace LLP (together with its affiliates, "Marshall Wace"), a global alternative investment manager specializing in long/short equity products. We also own other interests in third-party hedge fund managers, including a 39.9% interest in PAAMCO Prisma Holdings, LLC, an investment manager focused on liquid alternative investment solutions, including hedge fund-of-fund portfolios.
The table below presents information as of March 31, 2024, relating to our current credit and other vehicles reported in our Credit and Liquid Strategies business line for which we have the ability to earn carried interest. This data does not reflect acquisitions or disposals of investments, changes in investment values, or distributions occurring after March 31, 2024.

(1)The benchmarks referred to herein include the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (the "S&P/LSTA Loan Index"), S&P/LSTA U.S. B/BB Ratings Loan Index (the "S&P/LSTA BB-B Loan Index"), the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index (the "BoAML HY Master II Index"), the BofA Merrill Lynch BB-B US High Yield Index (the "BoAML HY BB-B Constrained"), the Credit Suisse Institutional Western European Leveraged Loan Index (the "CS Inst West European Leveraged Loan Index"), and S&P European Leveraged Loans (All Loans). The S&P/LSTA Loan Index is a daily tradable index for the U.S. loan market that seeks to mirror the market-weighted performance of the largest institutional loans that meet certain criteria. The BoAML HY Master II Index is an index for high-yield corporate bonds. It is designed to measure the broad high-yield market, including lower-rated securities. The CS Inst West European Leveraged Loan Index contains only institutional loan facilities priced above 90, excluding TL and TLa facilities and loans rated CC, C or are in default. The S&P European Leveraged Loan Index reflects the market-weighted performance of institutional leveraged loan portfolios investing in European credits. While the returns of our leveraged credit strategies reflect the reinvestment of income and dividends, none of the indices presented in the chart above reflect such reinvestment, which has the effect of increasing the reported relative performance of these strategies as compared to the indices. Furthermore, these indices are not subject to management fees, incentive allocations, or expenses.
(2)Performance is based on a blended composite of Bank Loans, High Yield, and Structured Credit strategy accounts. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the Multi-Asset Credit Composite strategy is based on 65% S&P/LSTA Loan Index and 35% BoAML HY Master II Index to May 2022, and 50% S&P/LSTA Loan Index, 50% BoAML HY Master II Index, from June 2022.
(3)The Opportunistic Credit strategy invests in high-yield securities and corporate loans with no preset allocation. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the Opportunistic Credit strategy presented herein is based on 50% S&P/LSTA Loan Index and 50% BoAML HY Master II Index. Funds within this strategy may utilize third-party financing facilities to enhance investment returns. In cases where financing facilities are used, the amounts drawn on the facility are deducted from the assets of the fund in the calculation of net asset value, which tends to increase returns when net asset value grows over time and decrease returns when net asset value decreases over time.
(4)Performance is based on a composite of portfolios that primarily invest in leveraged loans. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the Bank Loans strategy is based on the S&P/LSTA Loan Index.
(5)Performance is based on a composite of portfolios that primarily invest in high-yield securities. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the High Yield strategy is based on the BoAML HY Master II Index.
(6)The returns presented are calculated based on local currency.
(7)Performance is based on a composite of portfolios that primarily invest in higher quality leveraged loans. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the European Leveraged Loans strategy is based on the CS Inst West European Leveraged Loan Index.
(8)Performance is based on a composite of portfolios that primarily invest in European institutional leveraged loans. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the European Credit Opportunities strategy is based on the S&P European Leveraged Loans (All Loans) Index.

(1)Recycled capital is excluded from the amounts invested and realized. 
(2)These credit funds utilize third-party financing facilities to provide liquidity to such funds, and in such event IRRs are calculated from the time capital contributions are due from fund investors to the time fund investors receive a related distribution from the fund. The use of such financing facilities generally decreases the amount of invested capital that would otherwise be used to calculate IRRs, which tends to increase IRRs when fair value grows over time and decrease IRRs when fair value decreases over time. IRRs measure the aggregate annual compounded returns generated by a fund's investments over a holding period and are calculated taking into account recycled capital. Net IRRs presented are calculated after giving effect to the allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest and the payment of any applicable management fees and organizational expenses.  Gross IRRs are calculated before giving effect to the allocation of carried interest and the payment of any applicable management fees and organizational expenses.
(3)The multiples of invested capital measure the aggregate value generated by a fund's investments in absolute terms. Each multiple of invested capital is calculated by adding together the total realized and unrealized values of a fund's investments and dividing by the total amount of capital invested by the investors. The use of financing facilities generally decreases the amount of invested capital that would otherwise be used to calculate multiples of invested capital, which tends to increase multiples when fair value grows over time and decrease multiples when fair value decreases over time. Such amounts do not give effect to the allocation of any realized and unrealized returns on a fund's investments to the fund's general partner pursuant to a carried interest or the payment of any applicable management fees and are calculated without taking into account recycled capital.

Capital Markets
Our Capital Markets business line is comprised of our global capital markets business, which is integrated with KKR’s asset management business lines, and serves our firm, our portfolio companies and third-party customers by developing and implementing both traditional and non-traditional capital solutions for investments or companies seeking financing. These services include arranging debt and equity financing, placing and underwriting securities offerings, and providing other types of capital markets services that result in the firm receiving fees, including underwriting, placement, transaction and syndication fees, commissions, underwriting discounts, interest payments and other compensation, which may be payable in cash or securities, in respect of the activities described above. The third-party customers of our capital markets business include multinational corporations, public and private companies, financial sponsors, mutual funds, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and hedge funds globally. Our capital markets business provides these third-party clients with differentiated access to capital through our distribution platform.
Our capital markets business underwrites credit facilities and arranges loan syndications and participations. When we are sole or lead arrangers of a credit facility, we may advance amounts to the borrower on behalf of other lenders, subject to repayment. When we underwrite an offering of securities on a firm commitment basis, we commit to buy and sell an issue of securities and generate revenue by purchasing the securities at a discount or for a fee. When we act in an agency capacity or best efforts basis, we generate revenue for arranging financing or placing securities with capital markets investors. We may also provide issuers with capital markets advice on capital structuring, access to markets, marketing considerations, securities pricing, and other aspects of capital markets transactions in exchange for a fee. Our capital markets business also provides syndication services in respect of co-investments in transactions participated in by KKR funds or third-party clients, which may entitle the firm to receive syndication fees, management fees and/or a carried interest.
The capital markets business has a global footprint, with local presence and licenses to carry out certain broker-dealer activities in various countries in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. Our flagship capital markets subsidiaries include KKR Capital Markets LLC, which is an SEC-registered broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), and KKR Capital Markets Asia Limited, a Hong Kong licensed asset manager and broker dealer licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission in Hong Kong to carry on dealing in securities, advising on securities and asset management regulated activities.
Principal Activities
Through our Principal Activities business line, we manage the firm’s own assets on our firm’s balance sheet and deploy capital to support and grow our Private Equity, Real Assets, and Credit and Liquid Strategies business lines.
Typically, the funds in our Private Equity, Real Assets, and Credit and Liquid Strategies business lines contractually require us, as general partner of the funds, to make sizable capital commitments. We believe making general partner commitments assists us in raising new funds from limited partners by demonstrating our conviction in a given fund’s strategy. Our commitments to fund capital also occurs where we are the holder of the subordinated notes or the equity tranche of investment vehicles that we sponsor, including structured transactions. We also use our balance sheet to bridge investment activity during fundraising, for example by funding investments for new funds and acquiring investments to establish a track record for new investment strategies. We also use our own capital to bridge capital selectively for our funds’ investments or finance strategic transactions, although the financial results of an acquired business may be reported in our other business lines.
Our Principal Activities business line also provides the required capital to fund the various commitments of our Capital Markets business line when underwriting or syndicating securities, or when providing term loan commitments for transactions involving our portfolio companies and for third parties. Our Principal Activities business line also holds assets that are utilized to satisfy regulatory requirements for our Capital Markets business line and risk retention requirements for certain investment vehicles.
We also make opportunistic investments through our Principal Activities business line, which include co-investments alongside our Private Equity, Real Assets and Credit and Liquid Strategies funds, as well as Principal Activities investments that do not involve our Private Equity, Real Assets, or Credit and Liquid Strategies funds.
We endeavor to use our balance sheet strategically and opportunistically to generate an attractive risk-adjusted return on equity in a manner that is consistent with our fiduciary duties, in compliance with applicable laws, and consistent with our one-firm approach.
107

Prior to the creation of the Strategic Holdings segment, effective January 2, 2024, the periodic financial operating results of the firm's participation in the core private equity strategy were reported as part of this Principal Activities business line within the Asset Management segment. Beginning with this report, those financial operating results are not reflected in the Asset Management segment. See "Strategic Holdings" for further information regarding our participation in the core private equity strategy.
The chart below presents the holdings of our Principal Activities business line by asset class as of March 31, 2024, excluding our ownership of businesses reported through our Strategic Holdings segment.

Insurance
Our insurance business is operated by Global Atlantic, which operates as a separate business with its existing brands and management team. KKR acquired a majority controlling interest in Global Atlantic on February 1, 2021 and the remainder of Global Atlantic on January 2, 2024. Since the first quarter of 2021, we have presented Global Atlantic's financial results as a separate reportable segment.
Global Atlantic is a leading retirement and life insurance company that provides a broad suite of protection, legacy and savings products to customers and reinsurance solutions to clients across individual and institutional markets. Global Atlantic focuses on target markets that it believes support issuing products that have attractive risk and return characteristics. These markets allow Global Atlantic to leverage its strength in distribution and to deploy shareholder capital opportunistically across various market environments.
Global Atlantic offers individual customers fixed-rate annuities, fixed-indexed annuities, and targeted life products primarily through a network of banks, broker-dealers, and insurance agencies. Global Atlantic provides its institutional clients customized reinsurance solutions, including block, flow and pension risk transfer ("PRT") reinsurance, as well as funding agreements. Global Atlantic’s assets generally increase when individual market sales and reinsurance transactions exceed run-off of in-force policies. Global Atlantic primarily generates income by earning a spread on assets under management, as the difference between its net investment income and the cost of policyholder benefits. Global Atlantic also earns fees paid by policyholders on certain types of contracts and fees paid by third-party investors, which are reported in the asset management segment. As of March 31, 2024, Global Atlantic served over three million policyholders.
Global Atlantic also sponsors co-investment vehicles (the "sponsored reinsurance sidecar vehicles") to participate alongside Global Atlantic in certain block, flow, PRT and other reinsurance transactions that Global Atlantic enters into during the vehicles’ respective investment period. The sponsored reinsurance sidecar vehicles provide third-party capital to support reinsurance transactions and do not get consolidated into our financial statements. As of March 31, 2024, third parties have committed capital to the sponsored reinsurance sidecar vehicles of approximately $3.5 billion, of which $2.7 billion has been deployed.
The following table represents Global Atlantic’s new business volumes by business and product for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

(1)New business volumes in individual markets are referred to as sales. In Global Atlantic's individual market channel, sales of annuities include all money paid into new and existing contracts. Individual market channel sales of life insurance products are based on commissionable premium and individual market channel sales for preneed life are based on the face amount of insurance. Life insurance product sales do not include the recurring premiums that policyholders may pay over time. New business volumes from individual markets channel products typically occurs throughout the year.
(2)Funding agreements new business volumes represent funding agreements issued in connection with the funding agreement backed note ("FABN") program only.
(3)Global Atlantic expects block reinsurance transactions to be episodic rather than steady quarter over quarter. Similarly, funding agreements issued in the FABN program are subject to capital markets conditions and not expected to be consistent quarter over quarter. Flow and pension risk transfer new business volumes typically occurs throughout the year.
(4)New business volumes from Global Atlantic’s institutional market channel are based on the assets assumed, net of any ceding commission, and is gross of any retrocessions to investment vehicles that participate in qualifying reinsurance transactions sourced by Global Atlantic and to other third party reinsurers.

Strategic Holdings
Starting with the first quarter of 2024, we are reporting a new third segment named Strategic Holdings. Our Strategic Holdings segment is currently comprised of the firm’s ownership in the businesses we acquired through our participation in our core private equity strategy. Our core private equity strategy includes third-party capital in investment funds alongside our firm’s capital. Our Asset Management segment continues to manage the investment funds that invest in our core private equity strategy, the financial results of which are not included in our Strategic Holdings segment.
Our core private equity strategy seeks to make investments in businesses that we anticipate holding for a longer period of time and that we believe have a lower anticipated risk profile than our investments in businesses through the traditional private equity strategy. For example, our core private equity strategy seeks to make investments in companies that, among other things, we believe are more stable, and typically have lower leverage over our holding period, than those companies in which our traditional private equity investments are made.
We may also acquire in the future other long-term assets that are not part of the core private equity strategy for this segment.
As of March 31, 2024, our Strategic Holdings segment consisted of our ownership stakes in 19 companies. Based on certain information made available to management as of March 31, 2024, approximately 65% of these companies are based in the Americas, 29% in Europe, and 5% in the Asia-Pacific (based on the geographic location of their headquarters). In addition, based on such information, these companies are primarily engaged in the following business sectors: approximately 33% in the Business Services sector, 29% in Consumer, 13% in Infrastructure, 13% in technology-media-telecommunications (TMT), and 13% in Healthcare.
Effective as of the first quarter of 2024, our Asset Management segment charges a quarterly management fee based on invested capital in our Strategic Holdings segment. Additionally, our Asset Management segment will charge a performance fee from the sale of our interests in the companies included in our Strategic Holdings segment. The management and performance fees are charged in order to represent the cost of providing advisory services by our Asset Management segment rather than determining the allocable costs borne by our Asset Management segment to support our Strategic Holdings segment.

111

Business Environment
Our asset management (including the businesses reported in our Strategic Holdings segment) and insurance businesses are affected by the various market and economic conditions of the various countries and regions in which we operate. Market and economic conditions are expected to continue to have a substantial impact on our financial condition, results of operations and our business in various ways that we are unable to control, including our ability to make new investments, the valuations of the investments we manage, the amount of investment proceeds we realize when we exit our investments, the timing for such realization activity, our ability to fundraise or to sell our various investment and insurance products and services, and the level of our capital markets activities, as discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report.
During the first quarter of 2024, the United States experienced economic growth amid elevated but moderating inflation. In Europe, GDP growth in the Eurozone was positive in the first quarter of 2024 for the first time in three quarters, while inflation moderated closer to the European Central Bank’s 2% inflation target. In Asia, the two largest economies continued to experience different economic conditions during the first quarter of 2024. Japan’s economy is expected to have experienced negative growth in the first quarter of 2024 in conjunction with inflation exceeding the Bank of Japan’s inflation targets, which led the Bank of Japan to lift its base rate out of negative territory for the first time since 2013. In China, its economy grew in the first quarter of 2024 but remains subject to various headwinds, including concerns about its property sector, retail sales, and industrial output.
Several key economic indicators in the United States and in other countries and regions in which we operate include:
GDP.

Other Trends, Uncertainties and Risks Related to Our Business
Please refer to the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report for important additional detail regarding risks, uncertainties and other conditions that could have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on our businesses, including the impact of market and economic conditions on valuations of investments. These risks, uncertainties and other conditions should be read in conjunction with this Business Environment section and the entire Risk Factor section of our Annual Report. In particular, see "Risks Related to Our Investment Activities—Our valuation methodologies for certain assets can be subjective, and the fair value of assets established pursuant to such subjective methodologies is uncertain and may never be realized” and “Risks Related to Our Investment Activities—Various market and economic conditions and events outside of our control that are difficult to quantify or predict may have a significant impact on the valuation of our investments and, therefore, on our financial results.”

Basis of Accounting and Key Financial Measures under GAAP
We manage our business using certain financial measures and key operating metrics since we believe these metrics measure the productivity of our operating activities. We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). See Note 2 “ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our financial statements and “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” contained in this section below. Our key Segment and non-GAAP financial measures and operating metrics are discussed below.
Key Segment and Non-GAAP Performance Measures
The following key segment and non-GAAP performance measures are used by management in making operational and resource deployment decisions as well as assessing the performance of KKR's business. They include certain financial measures that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. These performance measures as described below are presented prior to giving effect to the allocation of income (loss) between KKR & Co. Inc. and holders of exchangeable securities and as such represent the entire KKR business in total. In addition, these performance measures are presented without giving effect to the consolidation of certain investment funds and collateralized financing entities ("CFEs") that KKR manages.
We believe that providing these segment and non-GAAP performance measures on a supplemental basis to our GAAP results is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall performance of KKR's business. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, where applicable are included under "—Segment Balance Sheet Measures—Reconciliations to GAAP Measures."
Modification of Segment Information and Non-GAAP Measures
In connection with building and scaling of the core private equity strategy on KKR’s balance sheet and the acquisition of all of the remaining equity interests in Global Atlantic on January 2, 2024, KKR reevaluated the manner in which it makes operational and resource deployment decisions and assesses the overall performance of KKR's business. Effective with the first quarter of 2024, the items detailed below have changed with respect to the preparation of the reports used by KKR's chief operating decision makers. As a result, KKR has modified the presentation of its segment financial information with retrospective application to all prior periods presented.
113

The most significant changes between KKR's current segment presentation and its previous segment presentation reported prior to the first quarter of 2024, are as follows:
Creating a new business segment, Strategic Holdings - The new segment is currently comprised of KKR’s participation in its core private equity strategy. Our participation in our core private equity has scaled into a business KKR now evaluates separately from its Asset Management segment. Additionally, KKR may also acquire other long-term assets that are not part of the core private equity strategy for this segment. As of the first quarter of 2024, KKR’s participation in its core private equity strategy will no longer be reported as part of the Asset Management segment. The Asset Management segment continues to represent KKR's business separate from its insurance operations and continues to reflect how the chief operating decision makers allocate resources and assess performance in the asset management business, which includes operating collaboratively across its business lines, with predominantly a single expense pool. Effective as of the first quarter of 2024, the results of our Strategic Holdings segment will include a management fee and performance fee that is paid to our Asset Management segment for providing advisory services rather than allocating the costs borne by our Asset Management segment to support our Strategic Holdings segment. The historical amounts presented herein do not include any management or performance fees that will be charged since the governing agreement was not in place prior to the first quarter of 2024.
Segment Earnings - Segment Earnings is the performance measure for KKR's segment profitability and is used by management in making operational decisions and to assess performance.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted Net Income ("ANI") is a performance measure of KKR’s earnings, which is derived from KKR’s reported segment results. ANI is used to assess the performance of KKR’s business operations and measures the earnings potentially available for distribution to its equity holders or reinvestment into its business. ANI is equal to Total Segment Earnings less Interest Expense, Net and Other and Income Taxes on Adjusted Earnings. Interest Expense, Net and Other includes interest expense on debt obligations not attributable to any particular segment net of interest income earned on cash and short-term investments. Income Taxes on Adjusted Earnings represents the (i) amount of income taxes that would be paid assuming that all pre-tax Asset Management and Strategic Holdings segment earnings were allocated to KKR & Co. Inc. and taxed at the same effective rate, which assumes that all securities exchangeable into shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. were exchanged and (ii) amount of income taxes on Insurance Operating Earnings. Income taxes on Insurance Operating Earnings represent the total current and deferred tax expense or benefit on income before taxes adjusted to eliminate the impact of the tax expense or benefit associated with the non-operating adjustments. Equity based compensation expense is excluded from ANI, because (i) KKR believes that the cost of equity awards granted to employees does not contribute to the earnings potentially available for distributions to its equity holders or reinvestment into its business and (ii) excluding this expense makes KKR’s reporting metric more comparable to the corresponding metric presented by other publicly traded companies in KKR’s industry, which KKR believes enhances an investor’s ability to compare KKR’s performance to these other companies. Income Taxes on Adjusted Earnings includes the benefit of tax deductions arising from equity-based compensation, which reduces Income Taxes on Adjusted Earnings during the period. If tax deductions from equity-based compensation were to be excluded from Income Taxes on Adjusted Earnings, KKR’s ANI would be lower and KKR’s effective tax rate would appear to be higher, even though a lower amount of income taxes would have actually been paid or payable during the period. KKR separately discloses the amount of tax deduction from equity-based compensation for the period reported and the effect of its inclusion in ANI for the period. KKR makes these adjustments when calculating ANI in order to more accurately reflect the net realized earnings that are expected to be or become available for distribution to KKR’s equity holders or reinvestment into KKR’s business. However, ANI does not represent and is not used to calculate actual dividends under KKR’s dividend policy, which is a fixed amount per period, and ANI should not be viewed as a measure of KKR’s liquidity.

Total Segment Earnings
Total Segment Earnings is a performance measure that KKR believes is useful to stockholders as it provides a supplemental measure of our operating performance without taking into account items that KKR does not believe arise from or relate directly to KKR's operations. Total Segment Earnings excludes: (i) equity-based compensation charges, (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles, (iii) strategic corporate related charges, and (iv) non-recurring items, if any. Strategic corporate related charges arise from corporate actions and consist primarily of (i) impairments, (ii) transaction costs from strategic acquisitions, and (iii) depreciation on real estate that KKR owns and occupies. Inter-segment transactions are not eliminated from segment results when management considers those transactions in assessing the results of the respective segments. These transactions include (i) management fees earned by our Asset Management segment as the investment adviser for Global Atlantic insurance companies, (ii) management and performance fees earned by our Asset Management segment for acquiring and managing the companies included in our Strategic Holdings segment, and (iii) interest income and expense based on lending arrangements where our Asset Management segment borrows from our Insurance segment. All these inter-segment transactions are recorded by each segment based on the applicable governing agreements. Total Segment Earnings represents the total segment earnings of KKR’s Asset Management, Insurance and Strategic Holdings segments.
Asset Management Segment Earnings
Asset management segment earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to assess the performance of the Asset Management segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is comprised of: (i) Fee Related Earnings, (ii) Realized Performance Income, (iii) Realized Performance Income Compensation, (iv) Realized Investment Income, and (v) Realized Investment Income Compensation. The non-operating adjustments made to derive Asset Management Segment Earnings excludes the impact of: (i) unrealized gains (losses) on investments, (ii) unrealized carried interest, and (iii) unrealized carried interest compensation. Management fees earned by KKR as the adviser, manager or sponsor for its investment funds, vehicles and accounts, including its Global Atlantic insurance companies and Strategic Holdings segment, are included in Asset Management Segment Earnings.
Insurance Operating Earnings
Insurance Operating Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to assess the performance of the Insurance segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is comprised of: (i) Net Investment Income, (ii) Net Cost of Insurance, and (iii) General, Administrative, and Other Expenses. The non-operating adjustments made to derive Insurance Operating Earnings excludes the impact of: (i) investment gains (losses) which include realized gains (losses) related to asset/liability matching investment strategies and unrealized investment gains (losses) and (ii) non-operating changes in policy liabilities and derivatives which includes (a) changes in the fair value of market risk benefits and other policy liabilities measured at fair value and related benefit payments, (b) fees attributed to guaranteed benefits, (c) derivatives used to manage the risks associated with policy liabilities, and (d) losses at contract issuance on payout annuities. Insurance Operating Earnings includes (i) realized gains and losses not related to asset/liability matching investment strategies and (ii) the investment management costs that are earned by our Asset Management segment as the investment adviser of the Global Atlantic insurance companies.
Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings
Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to assess the performance of the Strategic Holdings segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is comprised of: Dividends, Net and Net Realized Investment Income. The non-operating adjustment made to derive Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings excludes the impact of unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings includes management fees and performance fee expenses that are earned by the Asset Management segment.
115

Fee Related Earnings
Fee related earnings is a performance measure used to assess the Asset Management segment’s generation of earnings from revenues that are measured and received on a more recurring basis as compared to KKR’s investing earnings. KKR believes this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into the profitability of our fee generating asset management and capital markets businesses. FRE equals (i) Management Fees, including fees paid by the Insurance and Strategic Holdings segments to the Asset Management segment and fees paid by certain insurance co-investment vehicles, (ii) Transaction and Monitoring Fees, Net and (iii) Fee Related Performance Revenues, less (x) Fee Related Compensation, and (y) Other Operating Expenses.
Fee Related Performance Revenues refers to the realized portion of performance fees from certain AUM that has an indefinite term and for which there is no immediate requirement to return invested capital to investors upon the realization of investments. Fee related performance revenues consists of performance fees (i) expected to be received from our investment funds, vehicles and accounts on a recurring basis, and (ii) that are not dependent on a realization event involving investments held by the investment fund, vehicle or account.
Fee Related Compensation refers to the compensation expense, excluding equity-based compensation, paid from (i) Management Fees, (ii) Transaction and Monitoring Fees, Net, and (iii) Fee Related Performance Revenues.
Other Operating Expenses represents the sum of (i) occupancy and related charges and (ii) other operating expenses.
Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings
Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings is a performance measure used to assess the firm’s earnings from companies and businesses reported through its Strategic Holdings segment. Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings currently consists of earnings derived from dividends that the firm receives from businesses acquired through the firm’s participation in our core private equity strategy. Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings currently equals dividends less management fees that are earned by our Asset Management segment. This measure is used by management to assess the Strategic Holdings segment’s generation of earnings from revenues that are measured and received on a more recurring basis than, and are not dependent on, realizations from investment activities.
Total Operating Earnings
Total Operating Earnings is a performance measure that represents the sum of (i) FRE, (ii) Insurance Operating Earnings, and (iii) Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings. KKR believes this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into the profitability of the most recurring forms of earnings from each of KKR’s segments as compared to investing earnings.
Total Investing Earnings
Total Investing Earnings is a performance measure that represents the sum of (i) Net Realized Performance Income and (ii) Net Realized Investment Income. KKR believes this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into the earnings of KKR’s segments from the realization of investments.
Total Asset Management Segment Revenues
Total Asset Management Segment Revenues is a performance measure that represents the realized revenues of the Asset Management segment (which excludes unrealized carried interest and unrealized gains (losses) on investments) and is the sum of (i) Management Fees, (ii) Transaction and Monitoring Fees, Net, (iii) Fee Related Performance Revenues, (iv) Realized Performance Income, and (v) Realized Investment Income. Asset Management Segment Revenues excludes Realized Investment Income earned based on the performance of businesses presented in the Strategic Holdings segment. KKR believes that this performance measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into all forms of realized revenues generated by our Asset Management segment.
116

Other Terms and Capital Metrics
Adjusted Shares
Adjusted shares represents shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. outstanding under GAAP adjusted to include certain securities exchangeable into shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. and excludes equity unvested shares granted in connection with the equity incentive awards.
Assets Under Management
Assets under management represent the assets managed (including core private equity), advised or sponsored by KKR from which KKR is entitled to receive management fees or performance income (currently or upon a future event), general partner capital, and assets managed, advised or sponsored by our strategic BDC partnership and the hedge fund and other managers in which KKR holds an ownership interest. We believe this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into the capital raising activities of KKR and its hedge fund and other managers and the overall activity in their investment funds and other managed or sponsored capital. KKR calculates the amount of AUM as of any date as the sum of: (i) the fair value of the investments of KKR's investment funds and certain co-investment vehicles; (ii) uncalled capital commitments from these funds, including uncalled capital commitments from which KKR is currently not earning management fees or performance income; (iii) the asset value of the Global Atlantic insurance companies; (iv) the par value of outstanding CLOs; (v) KKR's pro rata portion of the AUM of hedge fund and other managers in which KKR holds an ownership interest; (vi) all of the AUM of KKR's strategic BDC partnership; (vii) the acquisition cost of invested assets of certain non-US real estate investment trusts and (viii) the value of other assets managed or sponsored by KKR. The pro rata portion of the AUM of hedge fund and other managers is calculated based on KKR’s percentage ownership interest in such entities multiplied by such entity’s respective AUM. KKR's definition of AUM (i) is not based on any definition of AUM that may be set forth in the governing documents of the investment funds, vehicles, accounts or other entities whose capital is included in this definition, (ii) includes assets for which KKR does not act as an investment adviser, and (iii) is not calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.
Capital Invested
Capital invested is the aggregate amount of capital invested by (i) KKR’s investment funds (including core private equity) and Global Atlantic insurance companies, (ii) KKR's Principal Activities business line as a co-investment, if any, alongside KKR’s investment funds, and (iii) KKR's Principal Activities business line in connection with a syndication transaction conducted by KKR's Capital Markets business line, if any. Capital invested is used as a measure of investment activity at KKR during a given period. We believe this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides a measure of capital deployment across KKR’s business lines. Capital invested includes investments made using investment financing arrangements like credit facilities, as applicable. Capital invested excludes (i) investments in certain leveraged credit strategies, (ii) capital invested by KKR’s Principal Activities business line that is not a co-investment alongside KKR’s investment funds, and (iii) capital invested by KKR’s Principal Activities business line that is not invested in connection with a syndication transaction by KKR’s Capital Markets business line. Capital syndicated by KKR's Capital Markets business line to third parties other than KKR’s investment funds or Principal Activities business line is not included in capital invested.
Fee Paying AUM
Fee paying AUM represents only the AUM from which KKR is entitled to receive management fees. We believe this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into the capital base upon which KKR earns management fees. FPAUM is the sum of all of the individual fee bases that are used to calculate KKR's and its hedge fund and BDC partnership management fees and differs from AUM in the following respects: (i) assets and commitments from which KKR is not entitled to receive a management fee are excluded (e.g., assets and commitments with respect to which it is entitled to receive only performance income or is otherwise not currently entitled to receive a management fee) and (ii) certain assets, primarily in its private equity funds, are reflected based on capital commitments and invested capital as opposed to fair value because fees are not impacted by changes in the fair value of underlying investments.
Uncalled Commitments
Uncalled commitments is the aggregate amount of unfunded capital commitments that KKR’s investment funds and carry-paying co-investment vehicles (including core private equity) have received from partners to contribute capital to fund future investments, and the amount of uncalled commitments is not reduced by capital invested using borrowings under an investment fund’s subscription facility until capital is called from our fund investors. We believe this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into the amount of capital that is available to KKR’s investment funds and carry paying co-investment vehicles to make future investments. Uncalled commitments are not reduced for investments completed using fund-level investment financing arrangements or investments we have committed to make but remain unfunded at the reporting date.

Total Revenues $1,956,468 $1,126,034 $830,434 
Fees and Other
Total Fees and Other for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily as a result of the increase in management fees and monitoring fees, partially offset by an increase in fee credits.
For a more detailed discussion of the factors that affected our transaction fees during the period, see "—Analysis of Asset Management Segment Operating Results."
The increase in management fees was primarily attributable to (i) management fees earned on new capital raised over the past twelve months at Ascendant Fund (a middle market focused traditional private equity strategy), at various vehicles designed for investment by individual private wealth investors, which we refer to as the "K-Series," and our Diversified Core Infrastructure fund. The increase was partially offset by a lower level of management fees from Americas Fund XII due to a step-down in the management fee rate in 2023 and a decrease in invested capital.
119

Management fees due from consolidated investment funds and other vehicles are eliminated upon consolidation under GAAP. However, because these amounts are funded by, and earned from, noncontrolling interests, upon consolidation under GAAP, KKR's allocated share of the net income from the consolidated investment funds and other vehicles is increased by the amount of fees that are eliminated. Accordingly, net income (loss) attributable to KKR would be unchanged if such investment funds and other vehicles were not consolidated. For a more detailed discussion on the factors that affect our management fees during the period, see "—Analysis of Asset Management Segment Operating Results."
Fee credits increased compared to the prior period as a result of (i) a higher level of transaction fees in our Real Assets and Credit and Liquid Strategies business lines in the current period and (ii) a higher level of monitoring fees primarily due to a termination payment received in connection with the initial public offering of BrightSpring Health Services (NASDAQ: BTSG) in our Americas Fund XII during the current period. These termination payments may occur in the future; however, they are infrequent in nature and are generally correlated with the initial public offering and other realization activity in our private equity portfolio, and are expected to continue to be smaller in size and number compared to this period. Fee credits owed to consolidated investment funds and other vehicles are eliminated upon consolidation under GAAP. However, because these amounts are owed to noncontrolling interests, upon consolidation under GAAP, KKR's allocated share of the net income from the consolidated investment funds and other vehicles is decreased by the amount of fee credits that are eliminated. Accordingly, net income (loss) attributable to KKR would be unchanged if such investment funds and other vehicles were not consolidated. Transaction and monitoring fees earned from our portfolio companies are not eliminated upon consolidation because those fees are earned from companies which are not consolidated. Furthermore, transaction fees earned in our capital markets business are not shared with fund investors. Accordingly, certain transaction fees are reflected in our revenues without a corresponding fee credit.
Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss)
Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was positive primarily due to the net appreciation of the underlying investments at many of our unconsolidated carry earning investment funds, most notably Asian Fund III, Americas Fund XII, and Global Infrastructure Investors IV. Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was positive primarily due to the net appreciation of the underlying investments at many of our unconsolidated carry earning investment funds, most notably Americas Fund XII, Global Infrastructure Investors III, and Asian Pacific Infrastructure Investors.
KKR calculates the carried interest that would be due to KKR for each investment fund, pursuant to the fund agreements, as if the fair value of the underlying investments were realized as of the reporting date, irrespective of whether such amounts have been realized. Since the fair value of the underlying investments varies between reporting periods, it is necessary to make adjustments to the amounts recorded as carried interest to reflect either (a) positive performance, resulting in an increase in the carried interest allocated to the general partner or (b) negative performance that would cause the amount due to KKR to be less than the amount previously recognized, resulting in a negative adjustment to carried interest allocated to the general partner. In each case, it is necessary to calculate the carried interest on cumulative results compared to the carried interest recorded to date and to make the required positive or negative adjustments.
Investment Income (Loss)
Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024
The net gains from investment activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were comprised of net realized losses of $(190.9) million and net unrealized gains of $829.1 million.
Investment gains and losses relating to our general partner capital interest in our unconsolidated funds are not reflected in our discussion and analysis of Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities. Our economics associated with these gains and losses are reflected in Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss) as described above.
Realized Gains and Losses from Investment Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net realized losses related primarily to the (i) realized losses on the sale of Telepizza SAU (consumer products sector) and (ii) realized losses from the distribution of certain assets to third-party fund investors in certain of our consolidated energy funds. Partially offsetting these realized losses were realized gains at certain consolidated leveraged credit funds and realized gains on certain foreign exchange forward contracts.
120

Unrealized Gains and Losses from Investment Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net unrealized gains were driven by (i) mark-to-market gains primarily relating to Söderberg & Partners (financial services sector), 1-800 Contacts, Inc. (health care sector) and foreign exchange forward contracts, and (ii) the reversal of previously recognized unrealized losses relating to the realization activity described above. These unrealized gains were partially offset by mark-to-market losses primarily relating to BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBIO), Accell Group N.V. (consumer products sector), and certain real estate and credit consolidated funds.
The factors that affect each investment strategy vary depending on the nature of the asset class and the valuation methodology employed. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net unrealized gains were primarily generated in the following asset classes:
Traditional private equity and core private equity, which were primarily impacted by (i) the positive returns of global equity markets and the related increase of market multiples used in the market comparables methodology for the valuation of Level III investments, and (ii) overall positive operating performance of its portfolio companies;
Credit, which were primarily impacted by the tightening of the credit spreads during the quarter; and
Infrastructure, which primarily benefited from the positive operating performance of certain infrastructure assets and, to a lesser extent, by the positive returns of global equity markets and the related increase of market multiples used in the market comparables methodology for the valuation of Level III investments.
Partially offsetting the gains in the asset classes above, were unrealized losses generated in real estate investments, which, notwithstanding the positive operating performance at certain properties. See "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report and "—Business Environment" for more information about the factors that may impact our business, financial performance, operating results and valuation.
Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023
The net losses from investment activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were comprised of net realized gains of $99.4 million and net unrealized losses of $(258.8) million.
Realized Gains and Losses from Investment Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net realized gains related primarily to the sale of our investment in KnowBe4, Inc. (NASDAQ: KNBE), Flutter Entertainment PLC (LON: FLTR), and US Foods Holding Corp. (NYSE: USFD). Partially offsetting these realized gains were realized losses primarily relating to a realized loss on our alternative credit investment, Chembulk Group (transportation sector) as well as realized losses on certain foreign exchange forward contracts and losses from the sales of revolving credit facilities.
Unrealized Gains and Losses from Investment Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net unrealized losses were driven by mark-to-market losses primarily relating to (i) certain investments held by our consolidated real estate and energy funds, (ii) GenesisCare Pty Ltd. (health care sector) and Heartland Dental, LLC (health care sector), each of which are held in our consolidated core private equity funds, and (iii) debt obligations of our consolidated CLOs. These unrealized losses were partially offset by mark-to-market gains primarily relating to (i) BridgeBio Pharma, Inc., (ii) Viridor Limited (infrastructure: energy and energy transition sector) and FiberCop S.p.A (infrastructure: telecommunications infrastructure sector) held in our consolidated core private equity funds and (iii) certain investments held in our consolidated CLOs.
For a discussion of other factors that affected KKR's realized investment income, see "—Analysis of Asset Management Segment Operating Results." For additional information about net gains (losses) from investment activities, see Note 4 "Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities - Asset Management and Strategic Holdings" in our financial statements.
121

Dividend Income
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, dividend income was primarily from (i) our investments in Exact Holding B.V. (technology sector) and FiberCop S.p.A. held through our consolidated core vehicles and (ii) certain of our consolidated real estate funds. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, dividend income was primarily from (i) certain investments held in our consolidated open-ended core infrastructure fund, Diversified Core Infrastructure Fund, (ii) certain investments held in our consolidated real estate equity and credit funds and (iii) certain investments held in our consolidated funds by our credit platform's SIG group.
Significant dividends from portfolio companies and consolidated funds are generally not recurring quarterly dividends, and while they may occur in the future, their size and frequency are variable. For a discussion of other factors that affected KKR's dividend income, see "—Analysis of Asset Management Segment Operating Results."
Interest Income
The increase in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to (i) the impact of closing CLOs that are consolidated subsequent to March 31, 2023, (ii) higher interest rates on floating rate investments held in consolidated CLOs and our consolidated private credit funds, and (iii) a higher level of interest income from certain of our consolidated private credit funds, related primarily to an increase in the amount of capital deployed. For a discussion of other factors that affected KKR's interest income, see "—Analysis of Asset Management Segment Operating Results."
Interest Expense
The increase in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to (i) the impact of closing CLOs that are consolidated subsequent to March 31, 2023, (ii) an increase in the amount of borrowings outstanding from certain consolidated funds and other vehicles, and (iii) higher interest rates on floating rate debt obligations held in consolidated CLOs. For a discussion of other factors that affected KKR's interest expense, see "—Key Segment and Non-GAAP Performance Measures."
Expenses - Asset Management
Compensation and Benefits Expense
The increase in compensation and benefits expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to a higher level of accrued carried interest compensation resulting from (i) a higher level of carried interest from the appreciation in the value of our investment portfolio and (ii) the increase to the carry pool percentage in the current period.
General, Administrative and Other
The increase in general, administrative and other expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to (i) a provision for legal reserve in the current period and (ii) a higher level of expenses from our consolidated investment funds and CLOs due to the impact of consolidating certain new funds and CLOs subsequent to March 31, 2023. The increase was partially offset by a lower level of placement fees.
In periods of increased fundraising and to the extent that we use third parties to assist in our capital raising efforts, our General, Administrative and Other expenses are expected to increase accordingly.

Total Insurance Revenues$7,700,270 $2,001,448 $5,698,822 
Net Premiums
Net premiums increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to an increase in initial premiums assumed from reinsurance transactions with life contingencies or morbidity risk during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was partially offset by higher retrocessions to third party reinsurers during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The initial premiums on assumed reinsurance were offset by a comparable increase in policy reserves reported within net policy benefits and claims (as discussed below under “Expenses—Net policy benefits and claims”).
Net investment income
Net investment income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to (i) increased average assets under management due to growth in assets in Global Atlantic's institutional market channel as a result of new reinsurance transactions and individual market channel sales and (ii) growth in portfolio yields due to higher market interest rates. The growth in portfolio yields during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was offset in part due to holding higher levels of lower yielding assets, such as cash and corporate fixed maturity securities acquired as part of recent reinsurance transactions, pending deployment into higher yielding asset classes.

Net gains on derivative instruments
The increase in the fair value of embedded derivatives on funds withheld at interest payable for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the change in fair value of the underlying investments in the funds withheld at interest payable portfolio, which is primarily comprised of fixed maturity securities (designated as trading for accounting purposes), mortgage and other loan receivables, and other investments. The underlying investments in the funds withheld at interest payable portfolio decreased in value during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and increased during the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to an increase in market interest rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to a decrease in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The increase in the fair value of equity index options was primarily driven by the performance of the indexes upon which these options are based. Global Atlantic purchases equity index options to hedge the market risk of embedded derivatives in indexed universal life and fixed-indexed annuity products (the change in which is accounted for in net policy benefits and claims). The majority of Global Atlantic's equity index options are based on the S&P 500 Index, which had a larger increase during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The increase in the fair value of embedded derivatives on funds withheld at interest receivable was primarily due to narrowing of credit spreads during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to a widening of credit spreads during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The decrease in the fair value of interest rate was primarily driven by an increase in market interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and a decrease in the three months ended March 31, 2023, resulting in respectively, a loss, and a gain, on interest rate contracts in the respective periods.
The decrease in the fair value of equity futures contracts was driven primarily by the performance of equity markets. Global Atlantic purchases equity futures primarily to hedge the market risk in Global Atlantic's variable annuity products which are accounted for in net policy benefits and claims. The majority of Global Atlantic's equity futures are based on the S&P 500 Index, which increased during both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and three months ended March 31, 2023, resulting in a loss on equity futures contracts in both periods.

124

The increase in net other investment losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to net other investment gains for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were primarily due to (i) an increase in unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities classified as trading primarily as a result of an increase in market interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to a decrease in market interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and (ii) an increase in unrealized losses on real estate investments at fair-value under investment company accounting due to higher discount rates and capitalization rates during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Offsetting these increases in net other investment losses were (i) a decrease in credit loss allowances, and (ii) a decrease in intent-to-sell impairments on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities.
Expenses
Net policy benefits and claims
Net policy benefits and claims increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to (i) an increase in the value of embedded derivatives in Global Atlantic's fixed indexed annuity products, as a result of higher equity market returns (as discussed above under "Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations (GAAP Basis - Unaudited)—Insurance—Revenues—Net investment-related (losses) gains," Global Atlantic purchases equity index options in order to hedge this risk, the fair value changes of which are accounted for in gains on derivative instruments, and generally offsetting the change in embedded derivative fair value reported in net policy benefits and claims), (ii) an increase in net flows from both individual and institutional market channel sales, (iii) higher initial reserves assumed related to new reinsurance transactions with life contingencies or morbidity risk in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, and (iv) higher average funding costs due to higher crediting rates and the ordinary-course run-off of older business originated in a lower interest rate environment.
These increases were offset in part by (i) an increase in gains on market risk benefits due to an increase in market interest rates in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to a decrease in market interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and (ii) a decrease in variable annuity market risk benefit liabilities primarily due to higher equity market returns for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Amortization of policy acquisition costs
Amortization of policy acquisition costs decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to the remeasurement of the policy liabilities associated with certain cost-of-reinsurance asset intangibles, resulting in an increase in the cost-of-reinsurance asset and a decrease in amortization.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to (i) a net increase in total debt outstanding, and (ii) an increase in interest expense on floating rate debt (i.e., Global Atlantic's fixed-to-floating swaps on its fixed rate debt) due to higher market interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Insurance expenses
Insurance expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to a decrease in commission expenses as result of higher proportion of ceded commission expenses.
General, administrative and other
General, administrative and other decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to decreased employee compensation and benefits related expenses.

Other Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations (GAAP Basis - Unaudited)
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, income tax was an expense of $269.2 million compared to an income tax expense of $148.7 million in the prior period. The increase was primarily driven by the higher level of asset management and strategic holdings income before taxes. For a discussion of factors that impacted KKR's tax provision, see Note 18 "Income Taxes" in our financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2024 relates primarily to net income (loss) attributable to: (i) exchangeable securities representing ownership interests in KKR Group Partnership until they are exchanged for common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. and (ii) third-party limited partner interests in consolidated investment funds. Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to net gains from investment activities at our consolidated investment funds.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to KKR & Co. Inc.
Net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased primarily due to a higher level of capital allocation-based income and net gains from investment activities in the current period, as described above.

On January 2, 2024, KKR completed the 2024 GA Acquisition. Prior to becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of KKR in the 2024 GA Acquisition, Global Atlantic was majority owned and controlled by KKR, and KKR already consolidated Global Atlantic in the consolidated financial statements of KKR & Co. Inc. The purchase price paid by KKR was approximately $2.6 billion, including the issuances of approximately $41 million of securities exchangeable for shares of KKR & Co. Inc. common stock. Global Atlantic was consolidated prior to January 2, 2024 and consequently, this transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction. At the time of the 2024 GA Acquisition, the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests held by third parties in Global Atlantic was lower than the purchase price paid by KKR, which was determined by excluding unrealized losses on its available-for-sale portfolio, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. As such, this transaction resulted in a decrease in KKR & Co. Inc. Stockholders’ Equity. This decrease was partially offset by net income attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. common stockholders.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (GAAP Basis)
The following is a discussion of our consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. You should read this discussion in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.
The consolidated statements of cash flows include the cash flows of our consolidated entities, which include certain consolidated investment funds, CLOs and certain variable interest entities formed by Global Atlantic notwithstanding the fact that we may hold only a minority economic interest in those investment funds and CFEs. The assets of our consolidated investment funds and CFEs, on a gross basis, can be substantially larger than the assets of our business and, accordingly, could have a substantial effect on the cash flows reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows. The primary cash flow activities of our consolidated funds and CFEs involve: (i) capital contributions from fund investors; (ii) using the capital of fund investors to make investments; (iii) financing certain investments with indebtedness; (iv) generating cash flows through the realization of investments; and (v) distributing cash flows from the realization of investments to fund investors. Because our consolidated funds are treated as investment companies for accounting purposes, certain of these cash flow amounts are included in our cash flows from operations.
Net Cash Provided (Used) by Operating Activities
Our net cash provided (used) by operating activities was $1.5 billion and $(1.9) billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts primarily included: (i) investments purchased (asset management and strategic holdings), net of proceeds from investments (asset management and strategic holdings) of $(0.7) billion and $(4.7) billion, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, (ii) net realized gains (losses) on asset management and strategic holdings investments of $(0.2) billion and $0.1 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively, (iii) change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments (asset management and strategic holdings) of $0.8 billion and $(0.3) billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, (iv) capital allocation-based income (loss) (asset management and strategic holdings) of $1.3 billion and $0.4 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, (v) net investment and policy liability-related gains (losses) (insurance) of $(0.6) billion and $(1.0) billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and (vi) interest credited to policyholder account balances (net of policy fees) (insurance) of $0.9 billion and $0.6 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Investment funds are investment companies under GAAP and reflect their investments and other financial instruments at fair value.
Net Cash Provided (Used) by Investing Activities
Our net cash provided (used) by investing activities was $(6.2) billion and $(3.8) billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our investing activities included: (i) investments purchased (insurance), net of proceeds from investments (insurance), of $(6.2) billion and $(3.8) billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and (ii) the purchase of fixed assets of $(17.3) million and $(23.2) million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net Cash Provided (Used) by Financing Activities
Our net cash provided (used) by financing activities was $45.0 million and $2.1 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our financing activities primarily included: (i) contributions from, net of distributions to, our noncontrolling and redeemable noncontrolling interests of $(23.8) million and $0.6 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, (ii) proceeds received, net of repayment of debt obligations, of $0.8 billion and $1.5 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, (iii) additions to, net of withdrawals from, contractholder deposit funds (insurance) of $2.6 billion and $0.5 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, (iv) cash consideration for the 2024 GA Acquisition of $(2.6) billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024, (v) reinsurance transactions, net of cash provided (insurance) of $12.2 million and $79.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, (vi) common stock dividends of $(146.0) million and $(133.5) million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and (vii) Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock dividends of $(17.3) million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Credit and Liquid Strategies252,755 228,450 24,305 
Total Management Fees$815,327 $738,156 $77,171 
The increase in Private Equity management fees was primarily attributable to (i) management fees earned on new capital raised over the past twelve months at Ascendant Fund and private equity vehicles for private wealth investors and (ii) management fees earned from our Strategic Holdings segment in the current period. The increase was partially offset by a lower level of management fees from Americas Fund XII due to a step-down in the management fee rate in 2023 and a decrease in invested capital. During the first quarter of 2024, approximately $12.7 million of management fees were earned on new capital raised that is retroactive to the start of the relevant fund's investment period.
The increase in Real Assets management fees was primarily attributable to (i) a higher level of management fees earned from Global Atlantic due to the growth in assets from inflows, (ii) a higher level of management fees earned from Diversified Core Infrastructure Fund due to an increase in its fee base from capital inflows and investment appreciation year over year, and (iii) management fees earned on new capital raised over the past twelve months at infrastructure vehicles for private wealth investors. During the first quarter of 2024, approximately $0.5 million of management fees were earned on new capital raised that is retroactive to the start of the relevant fund's investment period.
129

The increase in Credit and Liquid Strategies management fees was primarily attributable to (i) a higher level of management fees earned from Global Atlantic due to the growth in assets from inflows and (ii) a higher level of management fees earned from Marshall Wace. The increase was partially offset by a lower level of management fees from certain SIG funds primarily due to (i) a decrease in the funds' fee base from the sale of investments and (ii) certain SIG funds which no longer pay management fees as a result of an agreement to waive such fees.
Transaction and Monitoring Fees, Net

Capital Markets115,718 101,887 13,831 
Total Transaction and Monitoring Fees, Net$152,084 $142,179 $9,905 
Our Private Equity, Real Assets and Credit and Liquid Strategies business lines earn transaction and monitoring fees from portfolio companies, and under the terms of the management agreements with certain of our investment funds, we are required to share all or a portion of such fees with our fund investors. For most of our investment funds, transaction and monitoring fees are credited against fund management fees up to 100% of the amount of the transaction and monitoring fees attributable to that investment fund, which results in a decrease of our monitoring and transaction fees. Additionally, transaction fees are generally not earned with respect to energy and real estate investments. Our Capital Markets business line earns transaction fees, which are generally not shared with fund investors.
The increase in transaction and monitoring fees, net is primarily due to a higher level of transaction fees earned in our Capital Markets business line partially offset by a lower level of transaction and monitoring fees, net in our Private Equity business line. The increase in Capital Markets business line transaction fees was primarily due to an increase in the number of capital markets transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Overall, we completed 85 capital markets transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2024, of which 9 represented equity offerings and 76 represented debt offerings, as compared to 42 capital markets transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2023, of which 9 represented equity offerings and 33 represented debt offerings. We earn fees in connection with underwriting, syndication and other capital markets services. While each of the capital markets transactions that we undertake in this business line is separately negotiated, our fee rates are generally higher with respect to underwriting or syndicating equity offerings than with respect to debt offerings, and the amount of fees that we earn for similar transactions generally correlates with overall transaction sizes.
Our capital markets fees are generated in connection with activity involving our private equity, real assets and credit funds as well as from third-party companies. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately 32% of our transaction fees in our Capital Markets business line were earned from unaffiliated third parties as compared to approximately 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our transaction fees are comprised of fees earned in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately 34% of our transaction fees were generated outside of North America as compared to approximately 59% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our Capital Markets business line is dependent on the overall capital markets environment, which is influenced by equity prices, credit spreads, and volatility. Our Capital Markets business line does not generate monitoring fees.
Transaction and monitoring fees, net were lower for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period in our Private Equity business line primarily due to the decrease in the level of transaction activity in the current period. See "—Analysis of Asset Management Segment Operating Results—Capital Invested" for more information about capital invested by business line.

Credit and Liquid Strategies17,701 18,037 (336)
Total Fee Related Performance Revenues$19,101 $21,741 $(2,640)
Fee related performance revenues represent performance fees that are (i) expected to be received from our investment funds, vehicles and accounts on a recurring basis, and (ii) not dependent on a realization event involving investments held by the investment fund, vehicle or account.
These performance fees are primarily earned from (i) FS KKR Capital Corp. (NYSE: FSK) ("FSK") (our business development company) in our Credit and Liquid Strategies business line, and (ii) KKR Real Estate Select Trust Inc. ("KREST") (our registered closed-end real estate equity fund), KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc. ("KREF") (our real estate credit investment trust), and KJR Management ("KJRM") (our Japanese real estate investment trust asset manager) in our Real Assets business line.
Fee related performance revenues were lower for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period primarily due to no performance fee being earned from KREF in the current period.
Fee Related Compensation
The decrease in fee related compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was primarily due to a lower percentage of fee related revenues recorded as compensation in the current period as compared to the prior period. Effective as of the first quarter of 2024, KKR has reduced the compensation range on fee related revenues to a 15% to 20% range.
Other Operating Expenses
The decrease in other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was primarily due to a lower level of placement fees and general administrative costs compared to the prior period.
Fee Related Earnings
The increase in fee related earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was primarily due to a (i) higher level of management fees across our Private Equity, Real Assets, and Credit and Liquid Strategies business lines, (ii) a higher level of transaction fees earned in our Capital Markets business line, and (iii) a lower level of fee related compensation and other operating expenses, as described above.

Incentive fees consist of performance fees earned from (i) our hedge fund partnerships, (ii) investment management agreements with KKR sponsored investment vehicles, and (iii) investment management agreements to provide KKR’s investment strategies to funds managed by a UK investment fund manager.
Realized performance income in our Private Equity business line for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted primarily of (i) realized proceeds from the sale of our investments in AppLovin Corporation (NASDAQ: APP) held by Americas Fund XII and Australian Venue Co. (consumer products sector) held by Asian Fund III and (ii) performance income from our core investment vehicles.
Realized performance income in our Private Equity business line for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted primarily of (i) realized performance income from our core investment vehicles and (ii) realized proceeds from the sale of our investment in KnowBe4, Inc. held by Global Impact Fund and Next Generation Technology Growth Fund.

(infrastructure: telecommunications infrastructure sector) held by Global Infrastructure Investors II.
Realized Performance Income Compensation
The increase in realized performance income compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was primarily due to (i) a higher level of compensation recorded in connection with the higher level of realized performance income and (ii) a higher percentage of realized performance income recorded as compensation in the current period as compared to the prior period. Effective as of the first quarter of 2024, KKR has increased the compensation range on realized performance income to a 70% to 80% range.

Interest Income and Dividends, Net84,198 82,792 1,406 
Total Realized Investment Income$134,753 $194,834 $(60,081)
The decrease in realized investment income is primarily due to a lower level of net realized gains. The amount of realized investment income depends on the transaction activity of our funds and balance sheet, which can vary from period to period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net realized gains were comprised of realized gains primarily from the sale of our investments in AppLovin Corporation and Australian Venue Co. Partially offsetting these realized gains were realized losses, the most significant of which were (i) a realized loss on our infrastructure investment, Indus Towers Ltd. (NSE: INDUSTOW) and (ii) realized losses from the sales of various revolving credit facilities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net realized gains were comprised of realized gains primarily from the sale of our investments in KnowBe4, Inc. and Flutter Entertainment PLC. Partially offsetting these realized gains were realized losses, the most significant of which was a realized loss on our alternative credit investment, Chembulk Group, and realized losses from the sales of various revolving credit facilities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, interest income and dividends, net were comprised of (i) interest income primarily from our investments in CLOs and (ii) dividend income primarily from our investments in Crescent Energy Company (NYSE: CRGY), KREST, and KREF.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, interest income and dividends, net were comprised of (i) interest income primarily from our investments in CLOs, and (ii) dividend distributions primarily from our Americas real estate credit and equity investments, as well as a dividend distribution received from Resolution Life Holdings L.P. (financial services sector). See "—Analysis of Segment and Non-GAAP Performance Measures" and "—Segment Balance Sheet Measures."
Realized investment income includes the net income (loss) from KKR Capstone. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, total fees attributable to KKR Capstone were $18.5 million and total expenses attributable to KKR Capstone were $18.3 million. For KKR Capstone-related adjustments in reconciling asset management segment revenues to GAAP revenues see "—Segment Balance Sheet Measures—Reconciliations to GAAP Measures."
As of the date of this filing, we have transactions that are pending or that have closed after March 31, 2024, representing at least $400.0 million of realized carried interest and realized investment income, not all of which are expected to be realized in the second quarter 2024. Some of these transactions are not complete, and are subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, including regulatory approvals; therefore, there can be no assurance if or when such transactions will be completed. In addition, we may realize gains or losses based on transactions or other events that occur after the date of filing this report, which could impact, positively or negatively, the total amount of our realized performance income from carried interest and realized investment income. Therefore, no assurance can be given for what our actual realized carried interest and realized investment income in the second quarter 2024 or future quarters will be.
Realized Investment Income Compensation
The decrease in realized investment income compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period is primarily due to a lower level of compensation recorded in connection with the lower level of realized investment income. The compensation range on realized investment income did not change from the prior year and remains at its current range of 10% to 20%.

AUM of our Private Equity business line was $182.8 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $6.4 billion, compared to $176.4 billion at December 31, 2023.
The increase was primarily attributable to (i) appreciation in investment value from Americas Fund XII, Asian Fund III, and North America Fund XIII, and, to a lesser extent, (ii) new capital raised from our private equity K-Series investment vehicle designed for investment by private wealth investors and Ascendant Fund. Partially offsetting the increase were distributions to fund investors primarily as a result of realized proceeds, most notably from Americas Fund XII and Asian Fund III.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the value of our traditional private equity investment portfolio increased 5%. This was comprised of a 11% increase in share prices of various publicly held investments and a 4% increase in value of our privately held investments. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the value of our growth equity investment portfolio increased 4% and our core private equity investment portfolio increased 1%.
The most significant increases in share prices of our publicly held investments were increases in AppLovin Corporation, Kokusai Electric Corporation (TYO: 6525), and BrightView Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BV). These increases were partially offset by decreases in share prices of other publicly held investments, the most significant of which was BrightSpring Health Services Inc. The prices of publicly held companies may experience volatile changes following the reporting period. See "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report and "—Business Environment" for more information about the factors, such as volatility, that may impact our business, financial performance, operating results and valuations.
134

The most significant increases in the value of our privately held investments were increases in OneStream Software, LLC (technology sector), Söderberg & Partners, and BMC Software, Inc. (technology sector). These increases in value of our privately held investments were partially offset by decreases in the value of certain other privately held investments, the most significant of which were Accell Group N.V., Covenant Physician Partners, Inc. (health care sector), and Mills Fleet Farm Group LLC (retail sector). The increased valuations of these individual companies in our privately held investments, in the aggregate, generally related to (i) individual company performance and (ii) an increase in the value of market comparables. The decreased valuations of individual companies in our privately held investments, in the aggregate, generally related to an unfavorable business outlook.

AUM of our Real Assets business line was $135.4 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $4.5 billion, compared to $130.9 billion at December 31, 2023.
The increase was primarily attributable to (i) new capital raised from Global Atlantic and (ii) an increase in assets managed by KJRM, and, to a lesser extent, (iii) appreciation in investment value in Global Infrastructure Investors IV and Global Infrastructure Investors III. Partially offsetting the increase were (i) payments to Global Atlantic policyholders, and (ii) distributions to fund investors as a result of realized proceeds, most notably from Diversified Core Infrastructure Fund and Asia Pacific Infrastructure Investors.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the value of our infrastructure investment portfolio increased 5% and the value of our opportunistic real estate equity investment portfolio increased 1%.
The most significant increases in value across our Real Assets portfolio were increases in Global Technical Realty L.P. (infrastructure: telecommunications infrastructure sector), ContourGlobal plc (infrastructure: energy and energy transition sector), and CyrusOne Inc. (infrastructure: telecommunications infrastructure sector). These increases in value of our privately held investments were partially offset by decreases in the value of certain other privately held investments, the most significant of which was Ritchies Transport (infrastructure: transportation sector). The increased valuations of individual companies or assets in the aggregate, generally related to individual company or asset performance. The decreased valuations of individual companies or assets in the aggregate, generally related to an increase in interest rates which increased the cost of capital in our discounted cash flow methodology for certain valuations for certain investments in our infrastructure portfolio.

FPAUM of our Private Equity business line was $116.3 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $8.6 billion compared to $107.7 billion at December 31, 2023.
The increase was primarily attributable to (i) assets we manage and earn a fee on from our Strategic Holdings segment beginning with the first quarter of 2024 and (ii) new capital raised from private equity K-Series for private wealth investors and Ascendant Fund. Partially offsetting the increase was distributions to fund investors primarily as a result of realized proceeds, most notably from Asian Fund II and Asian Fund III.
Uncalled capital commitments from private equity funds and other investment vehicles from which KKR is currently not earning management fees amounted to approximately $19.1 billion at March 31, 2024, which includes capital commitments reserved for follow-on investments for funds that have completed their investment periods. This capital will generally begin to earn management fees upon deployment of the capital or upon the commencement of the fund's investment period. The average annual management fee rate associated with this capital is approximately 0.9%. The date on which we begin to earn fees (as specified above) is not guaranteed to occur and may not occur for an extended period of time. If and when such management fees are earned, a portion of existing FPAUM may cease paying fees or pay lower fees, thus offsetting a portion of any new management fees earned.

Partially offsetting the increase were (i) payments to Global Atlantic policyholders, (ii) distributions to fund investors as a result of realized proceeds, most notably from Global Infrastructure Investors III and Diversified Core Infrastructure Fund and (iii) a decline in the value of the assets managed by KJRM due to the impact of the decline in the value of the Japanese Yen.
Uncalled capital commitments from real assets investment funds and other investment vehicles from which KKR is currently not earning management fees amounted to approximately $9.8 billion at March 31, 2024, which includes capital commitments reserved for follow-on investments for funds that have completed their investment periods.

As of March 31, 2024, our Private Equity business line had $55.0 billion of remaining uncalled commitments that could be called for investments in new transactions as compared to $57.4 billion as of December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to capital called from fund investors to make investments during the period, which was partially offset by new capital commitments from fund investors.

Real Assets
As of March 31, 2024, our Real Assets business line had $24.3 billion of remaining uncalled commitments that could be called for investments in new transactions as compared to $24.7 billion as of December 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, our Credit and Liquid Strategies business line had $18.2 billion of remaining uncalled commitments that could be called for investments in new transactions as compared to $16.5 billion as of December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to new capital commitments from fund investors, which was partially offset by capital called from fund investors to make investments during the period.
Capital Invested
Private Equity
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our Private Equity business line had $1.2 billion of capital invested as compared to $2.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by a $1.2 billion decrease in capital invested in our core private equity strategy and a $0.7 billion decrease in capital invested in our traditional private equity strategy. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, 62% of capital deployed in private equity (including core and growth equity investments which includes impact investments) was in transactions in North America, 22% was in the Asia-Pacific region, and 16% was in Europe. The number of large private equity investments made in any quarterly or year-to-date period is volatile and, consequently, a significant amount of capital invested in one period or a few periods may not be indicative of a similar level of capital deployment in future periods.
Real Assets
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our Real Assets business line had $5.5 billion of capital invested as compared to $4.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our Credit and Liquid Strategies business line had $7.5 billion of capital invested as compared to $2.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven primarily by a higher level of capital deployed across our various private credit strategies, most notably direct lending and asset-based finance. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, 89% of capital deployed was in transactions in North America, 9% was in Europe, and 2% was in the Asia-Pacific region.

Net Investment Income
Net investment income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to (i) increased average assets under management due to growth in assets in the institutional market channel as a result of recent reinsurance transactions and individual market channel sales from new business growth, and (ii) increases in portfolio yields due to higher market interest rates. Investment portfolio yields in the quarter reflect higher levels of cash and more liquid investments, treasuries and investment-grade corporate bonds transferred as part of recent block reinsurance transactions.
Net Cost of Insurance
Net cost of insurance increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to (i) growth in reserves in the institutional market as a result of recent reinsurance transactions and in the individual market as a result of new business volumes, and (ii) higher average funding costs due to higher crediting rates and the routine run-off of older business originated in a lower interest rate environment.
General, Administrative and Other Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to an increase in interest expense on floating rate debt (i.e., Global Atlantic's fixed-to-floating swaps on its fixed rate debt) due to higher market interest rates and a net increase in total debt outstanding.
Insurance Operating Earnings
Insurance operating earnings increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to (i) the acquisition of the remaining minority interests not already held by KKR on January 2, 2024, and (ii) higher net investment income, partially offset by higher net cost of insurance, as described above.

Total Operating Earnings
The increase in total operating earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was primarily due to a higher level of fee related earnings, insurance operating earnings, and strategic holdings operating earnings. For a discussion of fee related earnings, insurance operating earnings, and strategic holdings operating earnings, see "—Analysis of Asset Management Segment Operating Results", "—Analysis of Insurance Segment Operating Results", and "—Analysis of Strategic Holdings Segment Operating Results."
Total Investing Earnings
The decrease in total investing earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was primarily due to a lower level of net realized investment income, partially offset by an increase in net realized performance income. For a discussion of net realized performance income and net realized investment income, see "—Analysis of Asset Management Segment Operating Results" and "—Analysis of Strategic Holdings Segment Operating Results."
Total Segment Earnings
The increase in total segment earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was primarily due to an increase in total operating earnings, partially offset by a decrease in total investing earnings.
Adjusted Net Income
The increase in adjusted net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was primarily due to a higher level of total segment earnings and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in interest expense, net, partially offset by an increase in income taxes on adjusted earnings.
Income Taxes on Adjusted Earnings
The increase in income taxes on adjusted earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was primarily due to a higher level of total segment earnings.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the amount of the tax benefit from equity-based compensation included in income taxes on adjusted earnings was $26.2 million and $13.7 million, respectively. The inclusion of the tax benefit from equity-based compensation in Adjusted Net Income had the effect of increasing this measure by 3% and 2%, respectively, for three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Segment Balance Sheet Measures
Asset Management Investment Portfolio
Beginning with the first quarter of 2024, we are reporting our investments from our core private equity strategy in our Strategic Holdings segment, and our investments from the investment strategies that we manage that are reported in the Asset Management segment excludes core private equity. To the extent our investments are realized at values above or below their cost in future periods, adjusted net income would be positively or negatively affected by the amount of any such gain or loss, respectively, during the period in which the realization event occurs. Our investments in Asset Management by asset class as of March 31, 2024 are as follows:

Global Atlantic's Investment Portfolio
As of March 31, 2024, 96% and 89% of Global Atlantic's available-for-sale ("AFS") fixed maturity securities were considered investment grade under ratings from the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC and NRSROs, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, 96% and 88% of Global Atlantic's AFS fixed maturity securities were considered investment grade under ratings from NAIC and NRSROs, respectively. Securities where a rating by an NRSRO was not available are considered investment grade if they have an NAIC designation of “1” or “2.” The three largest asset categories in Global Atlantic's AFS fixed-maturity security portfolio as of March 31, 2024 were Corporate securities, residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") and commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), comprising 26%, 6% and 5% of Global Atlantic's investment portfolio, respectively. Within these categories, 96%, 97% and 94% of Global Atlantic's Corporate, RMBS and CMBS securities, respectively, were investment grade according to NAIC ratings and 96%, 69% and 57% of its Corporate, RMBS and CMBS securities, respectively, were investment grade according to NRSRO ratings as of March 31, 2024. The three largest asset categories in Global Atlantic's AFS fixed-maturity security portfolio as of December 31, 2023 were Corporate, RMBS and CMBS securities, comprising 28%, 6% and 5% of Global Atlantic's investment portfolio, respectively. Within these categories, 95%, 96% and 93% of Global Atlantic's Corporate, RMBS and CMBS securities, respectively, were investment grade according to NAIC ratings and 95%, 61% and 56% of its Corporate, RMBS and CMBS securities, respectively, were investment grade according to NRSRO ratings as of December 31, 2023. NRSRO and NAIC ratings have different methodologies. Global Atlantic believes the NAIC ratings methodology, which considers the likelihood of recovery of amortized cost as opposed to the recovery of all contractual payments including the principal at par, as the more appropriate way to view the ratings quality of its AFS fixed maturity portfolio since a large portion of its holdings were purchased at a significant discount to par value. The portion of Global Atlantic's investment portfolio consisting of floating rate assets was 25% and 27% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Within the funds withheld receivable at interest portfolio, 96% and 97% of the fixed maturity securities were investment grade by NAIC designation as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Trading fixed maturity securities back funds withheld payable at interest where the investment performance is ceded to reinsurers under the terms of the respective reinsurance agreements.
Credit quality of AFS fixed maturity securities
The Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC evaluates the AFS fixed maturity security investments of insurers for regulatory reporting and capital assessment purposes and assigns securities to one of six credit quality categories called “NAIC designations.” Using an internally developed rating is permitted by the NAIC if no rating is available. These designations are generally similar to the credit quality designations of NRSROs for marketable fixed maturity securities, except for certain structured securities as described below. NAIC designations of “1,” highest quality, and “2,” high quality, include fixed maturity securities generally considered investment grade by NRSROs. NAIC designations “3” through “6” include fixed maturity securities generally considered below investment grade by NRSROs.
Consistent with the NAIC Process and Procedures Manual, an NRSRO rating was assigned based on the following criteria: (i) the equivalent S&P rating where the security is rated by one NRSRO; (ii) the equivalent S&P rating of the lowest NRSRO when the security is rated by two NRSROs; and (iii) the equivalent S&P rating of the second lowest NRSRO if the security is rated by three or more NRSROs. If the lowest two NRSROs’ ratings are equal, then such rating will be the assigned rating. NRSROs’ ratings available for the periods presented were S&P, Fitch, Moody’s, DBRS, Inc. and Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc. If no rating is available from a rating agency, then an internally developed rating is used.
Substantially all of the AFS fixed maturity securities portfolio, 96% as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, was invested in investment grade assets with a NAIC rating of 1 or 2.
The portion of the AFS fixed maturity securities portfolio that was considered below investment grade by NAIC designation was 4% as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Pursuant to Global Atlantic's investment guidelines, Global Atlantic actively monitors the percentage of its portfolio that is held in investments rated NAIC 3 or lower and must obtain an additional approval from Global Atlantic's management investment committee before making a significant investment in an asset rated NAIC 3 or lower.

Corporate fixed maturity securities
Global Atlantic maintains a diversified portfolio of corporate fixed maturity securities across industries and issuers. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 54% and 58% of the AFS fixed maturity securities portfolio was invested in corporate fixed maturity securities, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately 5% and 6% of the portfolio is denominated in foreign currency, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 96% and 95% of the total fair value of corporate fixed maturity securities is rated NAIC investment grade, respectively, and 96% and 95% is rated NRSROs investment grade, respectively.
Residential mortgage-backed securities
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 13% and 11% of the AFS fixed maturity securities portfolio was invested in RMBS, respectively. RMBS are securities constructed from pools of residential mortgages and backed by payments from those pools. Excluding limitations on access to lending and other extraordinary economic conditions, Global Atlantic would expect prepayments of principal on the underlying loans to accelerate with decreases in market interest rates and diminish with increases in market interest rates.
The NAIC designations for RMBS, including prime, sub-prime, alt-A, and adjustable rate mortgages with variable payment options ("Option ARM"), are based upon a comparison of the bond’s amortized cost to the NAIC’s loss expectation for each security. Accordingly, an investment in the same security at a lower cost may result in a higher quality NAIC designation in recognition of the lower likelihood the investment would result in a realized loss. Prime residential mortgage lending includes loans to the most creditworthy borrowers with high quality credit profiles. Alt-A is a classification of mortgage loans where the risk profile of the borrower is between prime and sub-prime, which also includes certain non-qualified mortgages. Sub-prime mortgage lending is the practice of originating residential mortgage loans to borrowers with weaker credit profiles.
As of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 89% of RMBS securities that are below investment grade as rated by the NRSRO, carry an NAIC 1 ("highest quality") designation, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024, Alt-A, Agency, Option ARM, Sub-prime and Re-Performing represent 40%, 19%, 17%, 9% and 8% of the total RMBS portfolio ($9.7 billion), respectively. As of December 31, 2023, Alt-A, Option ARM, Re-Performing and Sub-prime represent 45%, 21%, 10% and 10% of the total RMBS portfolio ($7.9 billion), respectively.
Unrealized gains and losses for AFS fixed maturity securities
Global Atlantic's investments in AFS fixed maturity securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income as unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes and offsets. Unrealized gains and losses can be created by changes in interest rates or by changes in credit spreads.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Global Atlantic had gross unrealized losses on below investment grade AFS fixed maturity securities of $668.6 million and $750.3 million based on NRSRO rating and $220.8 million and $267.2 million based on NAIC ratings, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, unrealized losses were not recognized in net income on these debt securities since Global Atlantic neither intends to sell the securities nor does it believe that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost or amortized cost basis.
Credit quality of mortgage and other loan receivables
Mortgage and other loan receivables consist of commercial and residential mortgage loans, consumer loans and other loan receivables. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 26% and 28% of Global Atlantic's total investments consisted of mortgage and other loan receivables, respectively.
Global Atlantic invests in U.S. mortgage loans, comprised of first lien and mezzanine commercial mortgage loans and first lien residential mortgage loans. For Global Atlantic’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio, the most prevalent property type is multi-family residential buildings, which represents over half of the portfolio as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Office and retail properties represent approximately 23% of the portfolio as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Global Atlantic's commercial mortgage loans are assigned NAIC designations, with designations “CM1” and “CM2” considered to be investment grade. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 90% and 89% of the commercial mortgage loan portfolio were rated investment grade based on NAIC designation, respectively. The payment status of over 98% and over 98% of the commercial mortgage loan portfolio is current as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
144

The loan-to-value ratio is expressed as a percentage of the current amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying collateral. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately 87% and 88%, respectively, of the commercial mortgage loans have a loan-to-value ratio of 70% or less and for March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 3% and 2% have loan-to-value ratio over 90%, respectively.
Changing economic conditions and updated assumptions affect Global Atlantic’s assessment of the collectibility of commercial mortgage loans. Changing vacancies and rents are incorporated into the analysis that Global Atlantic performs to measure the allowance for credit losses. In addition, Global Atlantic continuously monitors its commercial mortgage loan portfolio to identify risk. Areas of emphasis are properties that have exposure to specific geographic events or have deteriorating credit.
As of March 31, 2024, the payment status of 96% of the residential mortgage loan portfolio is current, and approximately $238.0 million is 90 days or more past due or in process of foreclosure (representing 2% of the total residential mortgage portfolio). As of December 31, 2023, the payment status of 96% of the residential mortgage loan portfolio was current and approximately $231.2 million were 90 days or more past due or in process of foreclosure (representing 2% of the total residential mortgage portfolio).
The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for residential mortgage loans was 64% and 63% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Global Atlantic's residential mortgage loan portfolio primarily includes mortgage loans backed by single family rental properties, prime loans and re-performing loans that were purchased at a discount after they were modified and returned to performing status. Global Atlantic has also extended financing to counterparties in the form of repurchase agreements secured by mortgage loans, including performing and non-performing mortgage loans.
Global Atlantic’s consumer loan portfolio is primarily comprised of home improvement loans, residential solar loans, student loans and auto loans. As of March 31, 2024, 97% of the consumer loan portfolio is in current status and approximately $32.5 million is 90 days or more past due or in process of foreclosure (representing 1% of the total consumer loan portfolio).

Liquidity
We manage our liquidity and capital requirements by (a) focusing on our cash flows before the consolidation of our funds and CFEs and the effect of changes in short term assets and liabilities, which we anticipate will be settled for cash within one year, and (b) seeking to maintain access to sufficient liquidity through various sources. The overall liquidity framework and cash management approach of our insurance business are also based on seeking to build an investment portfolio that is cash flow matched, providing cash inflows from insurance assets that meet our insurance companies' expected cash outflows to pay their liabilities. Our primary cash flow activities typically involve: (i) generating cash flow from operations; (ii) generating income from investment activities, by investing in investments that generate yield (namely interest and dividends), as well as through the sale of investments and other assets; (iii) funding capital commitments that we have made to, and advancing capital to, our funds and CLOs; (iv) developing and funding new investment strategies, investment products, and other growth initiatives, including acquisitions of other investments, assets, and businesses; (v) underwriting and funding capital commitments in our capital markets business; (vi) distributing cash flow to our stockholders and any holders of our preferred stock, if any; and (vii) paying borrowings, interest payments, and repayments under credit agreements, our senior and subordinated notes, and other borrowing arrangements. See "—Liquidity," "—Liquidity Needs" and "—Dividends and Stock Repurchases."
See "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report and "—Business Environment" for more information on factors that may impact our business, financial performance, operating results and valuations.
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity consist of amounts received from: (i) our operating activities, including the fees earned from our funds, portfolio companies, and capital markets transactions; (ii) realizations on carried interest from our investment funds; (iii) interest and dividends from investments that generate yield, including our investments in CLOs; (iv) in our insurance business, cash inflows in respect of new premiums, policyholder deposits, reinsurance transactions and funding agreements, including through memberships in FHLBs; (v) realizations on and sales of investments and other assets, including the transfers of investments or other assets for fund formations (including CLOs and other investment vehicles); and (vi) borrowings, including advances under our revolving credit facilities, debt offerings, repurchase agreements, and other borrowing arrangements. In addition, we may generate cash proceeds from issuances of our or our subsidiaries' equity securities.
Many of our investment funds like our private equity and real assets funds provide for carried interest. With respect to our carry-paying investment funds, carried interest is eligible to be distributed to the general partner of the fund only after all of the following are met: (i) a realization event has occurred (e.g., sale of a portfolio company, dividend, etc.); (ii) the vehicle has achieved positive overall investment returns since its inception, in excess of performance hurdles where applicable, and is accruing carried interest; and (iii) with respect to investments with a fair value below cost, cost has been returned to fund investors in an amount sufficient to reduce remaining cost to the investments' fair value. Even after all of the preceding conditions are met, the general partner of the fund may, in its sole discretion, decide to defer the distribution of carried interest to it to a later date. In addition, these funds generally include what is called a “clawback” provision, which provides that the general partner must return any carried interest that is paid in excess of what the general partner is entitled to receive at the end of the term of the fund, as discussed further below.
As of March 31, 2024, certain of our investment funds had met the first and second criteria, as described above, but did not meet the third criteria. In these cases, carried interest accrues on the consolidated statement of operations, but will not be distributed in cash to us as the general partner of an investment fund upon a realization event. For a fund that has a fair value above cost, overall, and is otherwise accruing carried interest, but has one or more investments where fair value is below cost, the shortfall between cost and fair value for such investments is referred to as a "netting hole." When netting holes are present, realized gains on individual investments that would otherwise allow the general partner to receive carried interest distributions are instead used to return invested capital to our funds' limited partners in an amount equal to the netting hole. Once netting holes have been filled with either (a) return of capital equal to the netting hole for those investments where fair value is below cost or (b) increases in the fair value of those investments where fair value is below cost, then realized carried interest will be distributed to the general partner upon a realization event. A fund that is in a position to pay cash carry refers to a fund for which carried interest is expected to be paid to the general partner upon the next material realization event, which includes funds with no netting holes as well as funds with a netting hole that is sufficiently small in size such that the next material realization event would be expected to result in the payment of carried interest. Strategic investor partnerships with fund investors may require netting across the various funds in which they invest, which may reduce the carried interest we otherwise would have earned if such fund investors were to have invested in our funds without the existence of the strategic investor partnership.
149

As of March 31, 2024, netting holes in excess of $50 million existed at European Fund V and Health Care Strategic Growth Fund in the amounts of $102 million, and $72 million, respectively. In accordance with the criteria set forth above, other funds currently have and may in the future develop netting holes, and netting holes for those and other funds may otherwise increase or decrease in the future. There are also investment funds that are not accruing carried interest and do not have a netting hole although they may be in a clawback position. If the investment fund has distributed carried interest, but subsequently does not have sufficient value to provide for the distribution of carried interest at the end of the life of the investment fund, the general partner is typically required to return previously distributed carried interest to the fund investors. Although our current and former employees who received distributions of carried interest subject to clawback are required to return them to KKR, it is KKR’s obligation to return carried interest subject to clawback to the fund investors. As of March 31, 2024, approximately $550 million of carried interest was subject to this clawback obligation, assuming that all applicable carry-paying funds and their alternative investment vehicles were liquidated at their March 31, 2024 fair values. As of March 31, 2024, Asian Fund II is the only investment fund with a clawback obligation in excess of $50 million. See Note 24 "Commitments and Contingencies—Contingent Repayment Guarantees" in our financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further information. See also the negative amounts included in the Carried Interest column in the table included in this Item 2 in “Asset Management—Private Equity” for further information on clawback obligations.
We have access to funding under various credit facilities, other borrowing arrangements and other sources of liquidity that we have entered into with major financial institutions or which we receive from the capital markets.
For a discussion of our debt obligations, including our debt securities, revolving credit agreements and loans, see Note 16 "Debt Obligations" in our financial statements.
Liquidity Needs
We expect that our primary liquidity needs will consist of cash required to meet various obligations, including, without limitation, to:
continue to support and grow our asset management business, including seeding new investment strategies, supporting capital commitments made by our vehicles to existing and future funds, co-investments and any net capital requirements of our capital markets companies and otherwise supporting the investment vehicles that we sponsor;
continue to support and grow our insurance business;
grow and expand our businesses generally, including by acquiring or launching new, complementary or adjacent businesses;
warehouse investments in portfolio companies or other investments for the benefit of one or more of our funds, accounts or CLOs or other investment vehicles pending the contribution of committed capital by the fund investors in such vehicles, and advancing capital to them for operational or other needs;
service debt obligations including the payment of obligations at maturity, on interest payment dates or upon redemption, as well as any contingent liabilities, including from litigation, that may give rise to future cash payments, including funding requirements to levered investment vehicles or structured transactions;
fund cash operating expenses and contingencies, including for litigation matters and guarantees;
pay corporate income taxes and other taxes;
pay policyholders and amounts in our insurance business related to investment, reinvestment, reinsurance or funding agreement activity;
pay amounts that may become due under our tax receivable agreement;
pay cash dividends in accordance with our dividend policy for our common stock or the terms of our preferred stock, if any;
underwrite commitments, advance loan proceeds and fund syndication commitments within our capital markets business;
post or return collateral in respect of derivative contracts;
150

acquire other assets (including businesses, investments and other assets) for our businesses, some of which may be required to satisfy regulatory requirements for our capital markets business or risk retention requirements for CLOs (to the extent they may apply);
address capital needs of regulated subsidiaries as well as non-regulated subsidiaries; and
repurchase shares of our common stock or retire equity awards pursuant to the share repurchase program or repurchase or redeem other securities issued by us.
For a discussion of KKR's share repurchase program, see Note 22 "Equity" in our financial statements.
Capital Commitments
The agreements governing our active investment funds generally require the general partners of the funds to make minimum capital commitments to such funds, which generally range from 2% to 8% of a fund's total capital commitments at final closing, but may be greater for certain funds (i) where we are pursuing newer strategies, (ii) where third party investor demand is limited, and (iii) where a larger commitment is consistent with the asset allocation strategy in our Principal Activities business line, including exposure to the Asia-Pacific region, and in our Strategic Holdings segment.

Other Commitments
In addition to the uncalled commitments to our investment funds as shown above, KKR has entered into contractual commitments primarily with respect to underwriting transactions, debt financing, revolving credit facilities, and equity syndications in our Capital Markets business line. As of March 31, 2024, these commitments amounted to $0.5 billion. Whether these amounts are actually funded, in whole or in part, depends on the contractual terms of such commitments, including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions to closing or funding. From time to time, we fund these various commitments noted above in our capital markets business by drawing all or substantially all of our availability for borrowings under our available credit facilities. We generally expect these borrowings by our capital markets business to be repaid promptly as these commitments are syndicated to third parties or otherwise fulfilled or terminated, although we may in some instances elect to retain a portion of the commitments for our own investment. These arrangements with third parties reduce our risk under certain circumstances when underwriting certain debt transactions. As a result, our unfunded commitments as of March 31, 2024 have been reduced to reflect the amount to be funded by such third parties. For more information about our Capital Markets business line's risks, see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our capital markets activities expose us to material risks" in our Annual Report.

Tax Receivable Agreement
On May 30, 2022, KKR terminated the tax receivable agreement with KKR Holdings other than with respect to exchanges of KKR Holdings Units completed prior to such date. As of March 31, 2024, an undiscounted payable of $381.1 million has been recorded in due to affiliates in the financial statements representing management's best estimate of the amounts currently expected to be owed for certain exchanges of KKR Holdings Units that took place prior to the termination of the tax receivable agreement. As of March 31, 2024, approximately $103.9 million of cumulative cash payments have been made under the tax receivable agreement since inception.
Dividends and Stock Repurchases
A dividend of $0.175 per share of our common stock has been declared and will be paid on May 28, 2024 to holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on May 13, 2024.
When KKR & Co. Inc. receives distributions from KKR Group Partnership, holders of exchangeable securities receive their pro rata share of such distributions from KKR Group Partnership.
The declaration and payment of dividends to our common stockholders will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors, and our dividend policy may be changed at any time. We announced on February 6, 2024 that our current dividend policy will be to pay dividends to holders of our common stock in an annual aggregate amount of $0.70 per share (or a quarterly dividend of $0.175 per share) beginning with the dividend announced with the results of the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors based on a number of factors, including KKR’s future financial performance and other considerations that the Board of Directors deems relevant, and compliance with the terms of KKR & Co. Inc.'s certificate of incorporation and applicable law. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, any dividends we pay (including dividends on our preferred stock) generally will be treated as qualified dividend income for U.S. individual stockholders to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance that future dividends will be made as intended or at all or that any particular dividend policy for our common stock will be maintained. Furthermore, the declaration and payment of distributions by KKR Group Partnership and our other subsidiaries may also be subject to legal, contractual and regulatory restrictions, including restrictions contained in our debt agreements.
Since 2015, KKR has repurchased, or retired equity awards representing, a total of 92.8 million shares of common stock for $2.6 billion, which equates to an average price of $28.05 per share. For further information, see "Part II—Item 2—Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds."
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we and our consolidated funds and CFEs enter into contractual arrangements that may require future cash payments. Contractual arrangements include (1) commitments to fund the purchase of investments or other assets (including obligations to fund capital commitments as the general partner of our investment funds) or to fund collateral for derivative transactions or otherwise, (2) obligations arising under our senior notes, subordinated notes, and other indebtedness, (3) commitments by our capital markets business to underwrite transactions or to lend capital, (4) obligations arising under insurance policies written, (5) other contractual obligations, including servicing agreements with third-party administrators for insurance policy administration, and (6) commitments to fund the business, operations or investments of our subsidiaries. In addition, we may incur contingent liabilities for claims that may be made against us in the future. For more information about these contingent liabilities, please see Note 24 "Commitments and Contingencies" in our financial statements.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet financings or liabilities other than contractual commitments and other legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of our business.
153

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of fees, capital allocation-based income (loss), expenses, investment income, and income taxes. Our management bases these estimates and judgments on available information, historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, these estimates, judgments and assumptions are often subjective and may be impacted negatively based on changing circumstances or changes in our analyses. If actual amounts are ultimately different from those estimated, judged or assumed, revisions are included in the financial statements in the period in which the actual amounts become known. We believe our critical accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change underlying estimates, judgments or assumptions.
For a further discussion about our critical accounting policies, see Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our financial statements included in this report.
Basis of Accounting
We consolidate the financial results of KKR Group Partnership and its consolidated entities, which include the accounts of our investment advisers, broker-dealers, Global Atlantic’s insurance companies, the general partners of certain unconsolidated investment funds, general partners of consolidated investment funds and their respective consolidated investment funds and certain other entities including CFEs.
When an entity is consolidated, we reflect the accounts of the consolidated entity, including its assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, investment income, cash flows and other amounts, on a gross basis. While the consolidation of an investment fund or entity does not have an effect on the amounts of Net Income Attributable to KKR or KKR's stockholders' equity that KKR reports, the consolidation does significantly impact the financial statement presentation under GAAP. This is due to the fact that the accounts of the consolidated entities are reflected on a gross basis while the allocable share of those amounts that are attributable to third parties are reflected as single line items. The single line items in which the accounts attributable to third parties are recorded are presented as noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statements of financial condition and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statements of operations.
The presentations in the consolidated statement of financial condition and consolidated statement of operations reflect the significant industry diversification of KKR by its acquisition of Global Atlantic. Global Atlantic operates an insurance business, and KKR operates an asset management business, which manages the operations of the newly-formed Strategic Holdings segment (see Note 21 - "Segment Reporting"), each of which possess distinct characteristics. As a result, KKR developed a two-tiered approach for the financial statements presentation, where Global Atlantic's insurance operations are presented separately from KKR's asset management business. KKR believes that these separate presentations provide a more informative view of the consolidated financial position and results of operations than traditional aggregated presentations and that reporting Global Atlantic’s insurance operations separately is appropriate given, among other factors, the relative significance of Global Atlantic’s policy liabilities, which are not obligations of KKR (other than the insurance companies that issued them). If a traditional aggregate presentation were to be used, KKR would expect to eliminate or combine several identical or similar captions, which would condense the presentations, but would also reduce the level of information presented. KKR also believes that using a traditional aggregate presentation would result in no new line items compared to the two-tier presentation included in the financial statements in this report.
In the ordinary course of business, KKR’s Asset Management business, Strategic Holdings segment and Global Atlantic enter into transactions with each other, which may include transactions pursuant to their investment management agreements and financing arrangements. The borrowings from these financing arrangements are non-recourse to KKR beyond the assets pledged to support such borrowings. All the investment management and financing arrangements amongst KKR segments are eliminated in consolidation.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Consolidation
KKR consolidates all entities that it controls either through a majority voting interest or as the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The following discussion is intended to provide supplemental information about how the application of consolidation principles impact our financial results, and management’s process for implementing those principles including areas of significant judgment. For a detailed description of our accounting policy on consolidation, see Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our financial statements included in this report.
154

As part of its consolidation procedures, KKR evaluates: (1) whether it holds a variable interest in an entity, (2) whether the entity is a VIE, and (3) whether the KKR’s involvement would make it the primary beneficiary. The determination that KKR holds a controlling financial interest in an investment vehicle significantly changes the presentation of our consolidated financial statements.
The assessment of whether we consolidate an investment vehicle we manage requires the application of significant judgment. These judgments are applied both at the time we become involved with an investment vehicle and on an ongoing basis and include, but are not limited to:
Determining whether our management fees, carried interests or incentive fees represent variable interests - We make judgments as to whether the fees we earn are commensurate with the level of effort required for those fees and at market rates. In making this judgment, we consider, among other things, the extent of third party investment in the entity and the terms of any other interests we hold in the VIE.
Determining whether a legal entity qualifies as a VIE - For those entities where KKR holds a variable interest, management determines whether each of these entities qualifies as a VIE and, if so, whether or not KKR is the primary beneficiary. The assessment of whether the entity is a VIE is generally performed qualitatively, which requires judgment. These judgments include: (a) determining whether the equity investment at risk is sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) evaluating whether the equity holders, as a group, can make decisions that have a significant effect on the economic performance of the entity, (c) determining whether two or more parties’ equity interests should be aggregated, and (d) determining whether the equity investors have proportionate voting rights to their obligations to absorb losses or rights to receive returns from an entity. Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are generally assessed for consolidation as voting interest entities. Under the voting interest entity model, KKR consolidates those entities it controls through a majority voting interest.
Concluding whether KKR has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE - As there is no explicit threshold in GAAP to define “potentially significant,” we must apply judgment and evaluate both quantitative and qualitative factors to conclude whether this threshold is met.
Changes to these judgments could result in a change in the consolidation conclusion for a legal entity.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.
GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Investments and other financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in the determination of fair values, as follows:
Level I
Pricing inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date.
Level II
Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
Level III
Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The valuation of our Level III investments at March 31, 2024 represents management's best estimate of the amounts that we would anticipate realizing on the sale of these investments in an orderly transaction at such date.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
155

 Level III Valuation Methodologies
Our investments and financial instruments are impacted by various economic conditions and events outside of our control that are difficult to quantify or predict, which may have a significant impact on the valuation of our investments and, therefore, on the carried interest and investment income we realize. Additionally, a change in interest rates could have a significant impact on valuations.
Across the total Level III private equity investment portfolio (including core private equity investments), and including investments in both consolidated and unconsolidated investment funds, approximately 60% of the fair value is derived from investments that are valued based exactly 50% on market comparables and 50% on a discounted cash flow analysis. Less than 2% of the fair value of this Level III private equity investment portfolio (including core private equity investments) is derived from investments that are valued either based 100% on market comparables or 100% on a discounted cash flow analysis. As of March 31, 2024, the overall weights ascribed to the market comparables methodology, the discounted cash flow methodology, and a methodology based on pending sales for this portfolio of Level III private equity investments were 38%, 55%, and 7%, respectively.
There is inherent uncertainty involved in the valuation of Level III investments, and there is no assurance that, upon liquidation, KKR will realize the values reflected in our valuations. Our valuations may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material. See "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report and "—Business Environment" for more information on factors that may impact our business, financial performance, operating results and valuations.
Key unobservable inputs that have a significant impact on our Level III valuations as described above are included in Note 9 "Fair Value Measurements" in our financial statements.
Level III Valuation Process
The valuation process involved for Level III measurements is completed on a quarterly basis and is designed to subject the valuation of Level III investments to an appropriate level of consistency, oversight, and review.
For private equity and real asset investments classified as Level III, investment professionals prepare preliminary valuations based on their evaluation of financial and operating data, company specific developments, market valuations of comparable companies and other factors. KKR begins its procedures to determine the fair values of its Level III assets approximately one month prior to the end of a reporting period, and KKR follows additional procedures to ensure that its determinations of fair value for its Level III assets are appropriate as of the relevant reporting date. These preliminary valuations are reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by KKR to perform certain procedures in order to assess the reasonableness of KKR's valuations annually for all Level III private equity and real asset investments and quarterly for investments other than certain investments, which have values less than preset value thresholds and which in the aggregate comprise less than 1% of the total value of KKR's Level III private equity and real asset investments. The valuations of certain real asset investments are determined solely by independent valuation firms without the preparation of preliminary valuations by our investment professionals, and instead such independent valuation firms rely on valuation information available to it as a broker or valuation firm. For credit investments, an independent valuation firm is generally engaged by KKR to assist with the valuations of most investments classified as Level III. The valuation firm either provides a value, provides a valuation range from which KKR's investment professionals select a point in the range to determine the valuation, or performs certain procedures in order to assess the reasonableness of KKR's valuations. After reflecting any input from the independent valuation firm, the valuation proposals are submitted for review and approval by KKR's valuation committees. As of March 31, 2024, less than 4% of the total value of our Level III credit investments were not valued with the engagement of an independent valuation firm.
156

For Level III investments in Asset Management, KKR has a global valuation committee that is responsible for coordinating and implementing the firm's valuation process to ensure consistency in the application of valuation principles across portfolio investments and between periods. The global valuation committee is assisted by the asset class-specific valuation committees that exist for private equity (including core equity investments and certain impact investments), growth equity (including certain impact investments), real estate, energy, infrastructure and credit. The asset class-specific valuation committees are responsible for the review and approval of all preliminary Level III valuations in their respective asset classes on a quarterly basis. The members of these valuation committees are comprised of investment professionals, including the heads of each respective strategy, and professionals from business operations functions such as legal, compliance and finance, who are not primarily responsible for the management of the investments. All Level III valuations for investments in Asset Management are also subject to approval by the global valuation committee, which is comprised of senior employees including investment professionals and professionals from business operations functions, and includes KKR's Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel, and Chief Compliance Officer. When valuations are approved by the global valuation committee after reflecting any input from it, the valuations of Level III investments, as well as the valuations of Level I and Level II investments, are presented to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of KKR & Co. Inc. and are then reported to the Board of Directors.
Level III investments held by Global Atlantic are valued on the basis of pricing services, broker-dealers or internal models. Global Atlantic performs a quantitative and qualitative analysis and review of the information and prices received from independent pricing services as well as broker-dealers to verify that it represents a reasonable estimate of fair value. As of March 31, 2024, approximately 95% of these investments were priced via external sources, while approximately 5% were valued on the basis of internal models. For all the internally developed models, Global Atlantic seeks to verify the reasonableness of fair values by analyzing the inputs and other assumptions used. These preliminary valuations are reviewed, based on certain thresholds, by an independent valuation firm engaged by Global Atlantic to perform certain procedures in order to assess the reasonableness of Global Atlantic's valuations. When valuations are approved by Global Atlantic's management, the valuations of its Level III investments, as well as the valuations of Level I and Level II investments, are presented to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of KKR & Co. Inc. and are then reported to the Board of Directors.
As of March 31, 2024, upon completion by, where applicable, independent valuation firms of certain limited procedures requested to be performed by them on certain Level III investments, the independent valuation firms concluded that the fair values, as determined by KKR (including Global Atlantic), of those investments reviewed by them were reasonable. The limited procedures did not involve an audit, review, compilation or any other form of examination or attestation under generally accepted auditing standards and were not conducted on all Level III investments. We are responsible for determining the fair value of investments in good faith, and the limited procedures performed by an independent valuation firm are supplementary to the inquiries and procedures that we are required to undertake to determine the fair value of the commensurate investments.
As described above, Level II and Level III investments were valued using internal models with significant unobservable inputs, and our determinations of the fair values of these investments may differ materially from the values that would have resulted if readily observable inputs had existed. Additional external factors may cause those values, and the values of investments for which readily observable inputs exist, to increase or decrease over time, which may create volatility in our earnings and the amounts of assets and stockholders' equity that we report from time to time.
Changes in the fair value of investments impacts the amount of carried interest that is recognized as well as the amount of investment income that is recognized for investments held directly in Asset Management and through our consolidated funds as described below. We estimate that an immediate 10% decrease in the fair value of investments held directly and through consolidated investment funds generally would result in a commensurate change in the amount of net gains (losses) from investment activities for investments held directly and through investment funds and a more significant impact to the amount of carried interest recognized, regardless of whether the investment was valued using observable market prices or management estimates with significant unobservable pricing inputs. With respect to consolidated investment funds, the impact that the consequential decrease in investment income would have on net income attributable to KKR would generally be significantly less than the amount described above, given that a majority of the change in fair value of our consolidated funds would be attributable to noncontrolling interests and therefore we are only impacted to the extent of our carried interest and our balance sheet investments. With respect to Insurance, a decrease in investment income for certain assets where investment gains and losses are recognized through the statement of operations would impact KKR only to the extent of our economic ownership interest in Global Atlantic.
157

As of March 31, 2024, there were no investments (including in our new Strategic Holdings segment) which represented greater than 5% of total investments on a GAAP basis. Our investment income on a GAAP basis and our asset management segment assets can be impacted by volatility in the public markets related to our holdings of publicly traded securities, including our holdings of equity securities of Crescent Energy Holdings and BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. See "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report and "—Business Environment" for a discussion of factors that may impact the valuations of our investments, financial results, operating results and valuations, and "—Segment Balance Sheet Measures" for additional information regarding our largest holdings on a segment basis.
Business Combinations
KKR accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, under which the purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values determined by management as of the acquisition date.
Management’s determination of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date is based on the best information available in the circumstances and may incorporate management’s own assumptions and involve a significant degree of judgment. We use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as the useful lives of those acquired intangible assets. Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets we have acquired include, but are not limited to, future expected cash inflows and outflows, future fundraising assumptions, expected useful life, discount rates and income tax rates. Our estimates for future cash flows are based on historical data, various internal estimates and certain external sources, and are based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying assets acquired. We estimate the useful lives of the intangible assets based on the expected period over which we anticipate generating economic benefit from the asset. We base our estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that could affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual result.
Income Taxes
Significant judgment is required in estimating the provision for (benefit from) income taxes, current and deferred tax balances (including valuation allowance), accrued interest or penalties and uncertain tax positions. In evaluating these judgments, we consider, among other items, projections of taxable income (including the character of such income), beginning with historic results and incorporating assumptions of the amount of future pretax operating income. These assumptions about future taxable income require significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates that KKR uses to manage its business. A portion of the deferred tax assets are not considered to be more likely than not to be realized. For that portion of the deferred tax assets for Global Atlantic, a valuation allowance has been recorded. Revisions in estimates or actual costs of a tax assessment may ultimately be materially different from the recorded accruals and unrecognized tax benefits, if any. Please see Note 18 "Income Taxes" in our financial statements in this report for further details.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Asset Management and Strategic Holdings
Revenues
Fees and Other
Fees and other consist primarily of (i) management and incentive fees from providing investment management services to unconsolidated funds, CLOs, other vehicles, and separately managed accounts; (ii) transaction fees earned in connection with successful investment transactions and from capital markets activities; (iii) monitoring fees from providing services to portfolio companies; (iv) expense reimbursements from certain investment funds and portfolio companies; and (v) consulting fees. These fees are based on the contractual terms of the governing agreements and are recognized when earned, which coincides with the period during which the related services are performed and in the case of transaction fees, upon closing of the transaction. Monitoring fees may provide for a termination payment following an initial public offering or change of control. These termination payments are recognized in the period when the related transaction closes.
Transaction fee calculations and management fee calculations based on committed capital or invested capital typically do not require discretion and therefore do not require the use of significant estimates or judgments. Management fee calculations based on net asset value depend on the fair value of the underlying investments within the investment vehicles. Estimates and assumptions are made when determining the fair value of the underlying investments within the funds and could vary depending on the valuation methodology that is used as well as economic conditions.
158

Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss)
Capital allocation-based income (loss) is earned from those arrangements whereby KKR serves as general partner and includes income or loss from KKR's capital interest as well as "carried interest" which entitles KKR to a disproportionate allocation of investment income or loss from an investment fund's limited partners.
Carried interest is recognized upon appreciation of the funds’ investment values above certain return hurdles set forth in their partnership agreement. KKR recognizes revenues attributable to capital allocation-based income based upon the amount that would be due pursuant to the fund partnership agreement at each period end as if the funds were terminated at that date. Accordingly, the amount recognized reflects KKR’s share of the gains and losses of the associated funds’ underlying investments measured at their then-current fair values relative to the fair values as of the end of the prior period. Because of the inherent uncertainty in measuring the fair value of investments in the absence of observable market prices as previously discussed, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material.
Expenses
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and Benefits expense includes (i) base cash compensation consisting of salaries and wages, (ii) benefits, (iii) carry pool allocations, (iv) equity-based compensation and (v) discretionary cash bonuses.
To supplement base cash compensation, benefits, carry pool allocations, and equity-based compensation, we typically pay discretionary cash bonuses, which are included in Compensation and Benefits expense in the consolidated statements of operations, based principally on the level of (i) management fees and other fee revenues (including incentive fees), (ii) realized carried interest and (iii) realized investment income earned during the year. The amounts paid as discretionary cash bonuses, if any, are at our sole discretion and vary from individual to individual and from period to period, including having no cash bonus. We accrue discretionary cash bonuses when payment becomes probable and reasonably estimable which is generally in the period when we make the decision to pay discretionary cash bonuses and is based upon a number of factors, including the recognition of fee revenues, realized carried interest, realized investment income and other factors determined during the year.
Beginning in 2021, we expect to pay our employees by assigning a percentage range to each component of asset management segment revenues. Prior to January 1, 2024, based on the current components and blend of our asset management segment revenues on an annual basis, we expected to use approximately: (i) 20‐25% of fee related revenues, (ii) 60‐70% of realized carried interest and incentive fees not included in fee related performance revenues or earned from our hedge fund partnerships, and (iii) 10‐20% of realized investment income and hedge fund partnership incentive fees, to pay our asset management employees. Beginning in January 2024, we expect to use approximately: (i) 15%-20% of fee related revenues, (ii) 70%-80% of realized carried interest and incentive fees not included in fee related performance revenues or earned from our hedge fund partnerships, and (iii) 10%-20% of realized investment income and hedge fund partnership incentive fees, to pay our asset management employees. Because these ranges are applied to applicable asset management segment revenue components independently, and on an annual basis, the amount paid as a percentage of total asset management segment revenue will vary and will, for example, likely be higher in a period with relatively higher realized carried interest and lower in a period with relatively lower realized carried interest. We decide whether to pay a discretionary cash bonus and determine the percentage of applicable revenue components to pay compensation only upon the occurrence of the realization event. There is no contractual or other binding obligation that requires us to pay a discretionary cash bonus to the asset management employees, except in limited circumstances.
Carry Pool Allocation
With respect to our funds that provide for carried interest, we allocate a portion of the realized and unrealized carried interest that we earn to Associates Holdings, which we refer to as the carry pool, from which our asset management employees and certain other carry pool participants are eligible to receive a carried interest allocation. The allocation is determined based upon a fixed arrangement between Associates Holdings and us, and we do not exercise discretion on whether to make an allocation to the carry pool upon a realization event. We refer to the portion of carried interest that we allocate to the carry pool as the carry pool percentage.
159

As of December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage was fixed at 40%, 43% or 65% by investment fund, depending on the fund’s vintage. For funds that closed after December 31, 2020 but before December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage was fixed at 65%. For funds that closed after June 30, 2017 but before December 31, 2020, the carry pool percentage was fixed at 43%, and the carry pool percentage was fixed at 40% for older funds that contributed to KKR's carry pool. Effective January 2, 2024, KKR is authorized to apply a carry pool percentage in excess of these fixed percentages of up to 80% for all funds.
This increase to the carry pool percentage was approved by a majority of KKR's independent directors, and the carry pool percentage may not be increased above 80% without the further approval of a majority of KKR's independent directors. For funds that closed after December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage is fixed at 80%. For funds that closed prior to December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage is calculated at a fixed percentage of 40%, 43% or 65% (depending on the fund’s vintage) for carried interest realized up to a high water mark, which was established based on the unrealized carried interest balance that existed on January 2, 2024, plus an additional percentage amount up to 80% based on a formulaic allocation, only if the unrealized carried interest balance at any period end exceeds the high water mark. This imposes a limitation of the carry pool allocation for such funds based on the amount of cumulative unrealized carried interest income earned subsequent to December 31, 2023.
For funds that closed before December 31, 2023, if the cumulative carried interest subsequent to December 31, 2023 is not sufficient to fund this formulaic allocation, the allocation of earnings reverts to the carry pool percentage in effect before this modification. As such, upon modification of the carry pool percentage effective on January 2, 2024, the cumulative unrealized carried interest was not sufficient to fund the additional formulaic allocation percentage in excess of the pre-existing 40%, 43% and 65% carry pool percentages, and therefore no incremental expense was recognized as of such date. The carry pool percentage applicable for all funds that closed prior to December 31, 2023 will not be less than their applicable carry pool percentages of 40%, 43% or 65% prior to December 31, 2023, and will not be more than 80%. The intent of this modification is that for all funds that closed prior to January 2, 2024, upon the final liquidation of each fund, realized carried interest distributed will equal the historical fund carry pool allocations up to the high water mark and only distributions of realized carried interest in excess of the high water mark will be distributed at 80 percent if and only if the unrealized carried interest balance at any period end exceeds the high water mark. Under no circumstance would a distribution of carried interest exceed 80% of the total allocable carried interest at any time.
KKR accounts for the carry pool as a compensatory profit-sharing arrangement in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities within the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition in conjunction with the related carried interest income and it is recorded as compensation expense. The liability that is recorded in each period reflects the legal entitlement of Associates Holdings at each point in time should the total unrealized carried interest be realized at the value recorded at each reporting date. Upon a reversal of carried interest income, the related carry pool allocation, if any, is also reversed. Accordingly, such compensation expense is subject to both positive and negative adjustments.
As disclosed above, we record compensation for our asset management employees in an amount that equates to 70‐80% of realized carried interest and incentive fees which are not included in fee related performance revenues or earned from our hedge fund partnerships. The amounts recorded as compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and certain prior periods are greater than the amounts allocated to the carry pool for those periods. Any amounts recorded as compensation that are higher than the amounts allocated in accordance with the percentages referenced above represent discretionary cash bonus compensation to our asset management employees. The amounts paid as discretionary cash bonuses, if any, are at our discretion and vary from individual to individual and from period to period, including having no cash bonus at all for certain employees. See "—Revenues—Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss)" and "—Compensation and Benefits" above.

On the Sunset Date (which will not be later than December 31, 2026), KKR will acquire control of Associates Holdings and will commence making decisions regarding the allocation of the carry proceeds pursuant to the limited partnership agreement of Associates Holdings. Until the Sunset Date, our Co-Founders will continue to make decisions regarding the allocation of the carry proceeds to themselves and others, pursuant to the limited partnership agreement of Associates Holdings, provided that any allocation of carry proceeds to the Co-Founders will be on a percentage basis consistent with past practice. For additional information about the Sunset Date and the Reorganization Agreement, see Note 1 "Organization" in our financial statements included in this report.
Equity-based Compensation
In addition to the cash-based compensation and carry pool allocations as described above, employees receive equity awards under our Equity Incentive Plans, most of which are subject to service-based vesting typically over a three to five-year period from the date of grant, and some of which are also subject to the achievement of market-based conditions. Certain of these awards are subject to post-vesting transfer restrictions and minimum retained ownership requirements.
160

Compensation expense relating to the issuance of equity-based awards is measured at fair value on the grant date. In determining the aggregate fair value of any award grants, we make judgments as to the grant-date fair value, particularly for certain restricted units with a vesting condition based upon market conditions, whose grant date fair values are based on a probability distributed Monte-Carlo simulation. See Note 19 "Equity Based Compensation,” in our financial statements included in this report for further discussion and activity of these awards.
Investment Income (Loss) -Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities
Net gains (losses) from investment activities consist of realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from our investment activities as well as income earned from certain equity method investments. Fluctuations in net gains (losses) from investment activities between reporting periods is driven primarily by changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as well as the realization of investments. The fair value of, as well as the ability to recognize gains from, our investments is significantly impacted by the global financial markets, which, in turn, affects the net gains (losses) from investment activities recognized in any given period. Upon the disposition of an investment, previously recognized unrealized gains and losses are reversed and an offsetting realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period. Since our investments are carried at fair value, fluctuations between periods could be significant due to changes to the inputs to our valuation process over time. For a further discussion of our fair value measurements and fair value of investments, see above "—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Fair Value Measurements."
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Insurance
Policy liabilities
Policy liabilities, or collectively, “reserves,” are the portion of past premiums or assessments received that are set aside to meet future policy and contract obligations as they become due. Interest accrues on the reserves and on future premiums, which may also be available to pay for future obligations. Global Atlantic establishes reserves to pay future policy benefits, claims, and certain expenses for its life policies and annuity contracts.
Global Atlantic's reserves are estimated based on models that include many actuarial assumptions and projections. These assumptions and projections, which are inherently uncertain, involve significant judgment, including assumptions as to the levels and/or timing of premiums, benefits, claims, expenses, interest credits, investment results (including equity market returns), mortality, longevity, and persistency.
The assumptions on which reserves are based are intended to represent an estimation of experience for the period that policy benefits are payable. Global Atlantic reviews the adequacy of its reserves and the assumptions underlying those reserves at least annually. Global Atlantic cannot, however, determine with precision the amount or the timing of actual benefit payments. If actual experience is better than or equal to the assumptions, then reserves would be adequate to provide for future benefits and expenses. If experience is worse than the assumptions, additional reserves may be required to meet future policy and contract obligations. This would result in a charge to Global Atlantic's net income during the period in which excess benefits are paid or an increase in reserves occurs.
For a majority of Global Atlantic's in-force policies, including its interest-sensitive life policies and most annuity contracts, the base policy reserve is equal to the account value. For these products, the account value represents Global Atlantic's obligation to repay to the policyholder the amounts held with Global Atlantic on deposit. However, there are several significant blocks of business where policy reserves, in addition to the account value, are explicitly calculated, including variable annuities, fixed-indexed annuities, interest-sensitive life products (including those with secondary guarantees), and preneed policies.
Market risk benefits
Market risk benefits are contracts or contract features that both provide protection to the policyholder from other-than-nominal capital market risk and expose Global Atlantic to other-than-nominal capital market risk. Market risk benefits include certain contract features on fixed annuity and variable annuity products, including minimum guarantees to policyholders, such as guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDBs), guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWBs), and long-term care benefits (which are capped at the return of account value plus one or two times the account value).
Some of Global Atlantic's variable annuity and fixed-indexed annuity contracts contain a GMDB feature that provides a guarantee that the benefit received at death will be no less than a prescribed minimum amount, even if the account balance is reduced to zero. This amount is based on either the net deposits paid into the contract, the net deposits accumulated at a specified rate, the highest historical account value on a contract anniversary, or sometimes a combination of these values. If the GMDB is higher than the current account value at the time of death, Global Atlantic incurs a cost equal to the difference.
161

Global Atlantic issues fixed-indexed annuity and variable annuity contracts with a guaranteed minimum withdrawal feature. GMWB are an optional benefit where the contract owner is entitled to withdraw a maximum amount of their benefit base each year.
Once exercised, living benefit features provide annuity policyholders with a minimum guaranteed stream of income for life. A policyholder’s annual income benefit is generally based on an annual withdrawal percentage multiplied by the benefit base. The benefit base is defined in the policy and is generally the initial premium, reduced by any partial withdrawals and increased by a defined percentage, formula or index credits. Any living benefit payments are first deducted from the account value. Global Atlantic is responsible for paying any excess guaranteed living benefits still owed after the account value has reached zero.
The ultimate cost of these benefits will depend on the level of market returns and the level of contractual guarantees, as well as policyholder behavior, including surrenders, withdrawals, and benefit utilization. For Global Atlantic's fixed-indexed annuity products, costs also include certain non-guaranteed terms that impact the ultimate cost, such as caps on crediting rates that Global Atlantic can, in its discretion, reset annually.
See Note 17 — “Policy liabilities” in our financial statements for additional information.
As of March 31, 2024, the net market risk liability balance totaled $1.0 billion. As of March 31, 2024, the liability balances for market risk benefits were $836.2 million for fixed-indexed annuities and $174.0 million for variable and other annuities. The increase (decrease) to the net market risk benefit liability balance as a result of hypothetical changes in interest rates, instrument-specific credit risk, equity market prices, expected mortality, and expected surrenders are summarized in the table below. This sensitivity considers the direct effect of such changes only and not changes in any other assumptions used in or items considered in the measurement of such balances.

Policy liabilities accounted for under a fair value option
Variable annuity contracts offered and assumed by Global Atlantic provide the contractholder with a GMDB. The liabilities for these benefits are included in policy liabilities. Global Atlantic elected the fair value option to measure the liability for certain of these variable annuity contracts valued at $314.5 million as of March 31, 2024. Fair value is calculated as the present value of the estimated death benefits less the present value of the GMDB fees, using 1,000 risk neutral scenarios. Global Atlantic discounts the cash flows using the U.S. Treasury rates plus an adjustment for instrument-specific credit risk in the consolidated statement of financial condition. The change in the liabilities for these benefits is included in policy benefits and claims in the consolidated statement of operations.
As of March 31, 2024, variable annuities accounted for using the fair value option totaled $314.5 million. The increase (decrease) in the reserves for variable annuities accounted for using the fair value option as a result of hypothetical changes in interest rates, instrument-specific credit risk, equity market prices, expected mortality, and expected surrenders are summarized in the table below.

Liability for future policyholder benefits
A liability for future policy benefits, which is the present value of estimated future policy benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders and certain related expenses less the present value of estimated future net premiums to be collected from policyholders, is accrued as premium revenue is recognized. The liability is estimated using current assumptions that include mortality, morbidity, lapses, and expenses. These current assumptions are based on judgments that consider Global Atlantic’s historical experience, industry data, and other factors, and are updated quarterly and the current period change in the liability is recognized as a separate component of benefit expense in the consolidated income statement.
As of March 31, 2024, the liability for future policy benefits totaled $9.8 billion, net of reinsurance, split between $8.1 billion associated with payout annuity products, and $1.7 billion of life and other insurance products (including assumed long-term care insurance where we retroceded mortality and morbidity risks to a third-party reinsurer.) The increase (decrease) as a result of hypothetical changes in interest rates, credit spreads, expected mortality, and expected surrenders and lapses are summarized in the table below.

Additional liability for annuitization, death, or other insurance benefits: no-lapse guarantees
Global Atlantic has in-force interest-sensitive life contracts where it provides a secondary guarantee to the policyholder. The policy can remain in-force, even if the base policy account value is zero, as long as contractual secondary guarantee requirements have been met. The primary risk to Global Atlantic is that the premium collected under these policies, together with the investment return Global Atlantic earns on that premium, is ultimately insufficient to pay the policyholder’s benefits and the expenses associated with issuing and administering these policies. Global Atlantic holds an additional reserve in connection with these guarantees.
163

The additional reserves related to interest-sensitive life products with secondary guarantees are calculated using methods similar to those described above under “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Insurance—Policy liabilities—Market risk benefits.” The costs related to these secondary guarantees are recognized over the life of the contracts through the accrual and subsequent release of a reserve which is revalued each period. The reserve is calculated based on assessments, over a range of economic scenarios to incorporate the variability in the obligation that may occur under different environments. The change in the reserve is included in policy benefits and claims in the consolidated statements of operations.
As of March 31, 2024, the additional liability balance of primarily interest-sensitive life totaled $5.8 billion, net of reinsurance. The increase (decrease) to the additional liability balance, as a result of hypothetical changes in interest rates, equity market prices, annual equity growth, expected mortality, and expected surrenders are summarized in the table below. This sensitivity considers the direct effect of such changes only and not changes in any other assumptions used in or items considered in the measurement of the interest-sensitive life no-lapse guarantee liability balance.

Embedded derivatives in policy liabilities and funds withheld
Global Atlantic's fixed-indexed annuity, variable annuity and indexed universal life products contain equity-indexed features, which are considered embedded derivatives and are required to be measured at fair value.
Global Atlantic calculates the embedded derivative as the present value of future projected benefits in excess of the projected guaranteed benefits, using an option budget as the indexed account value growth rate. In addition, the fair value of the embedded derivative is reduced to reflect instrument specific credit risk on Global Atlantic's obligation (i.e. Global Atlantic's     own credit risk).
Changes in interest rates, future index credits, instrument-specific credit risk, projected withdrawal and surrender activity, and mortality on fixed-indexed annuity and interest-sensitive life products can have a significant impact on the value of the embedded derivative.
Valuation of embedded derivatives – Fixed-indexed annuities
Fixed-indexed annuity contracts allow the policyholder to elect a fixed interest rate of return or a market indexed strategy where interest credited is based on the performance of an index, such as the S&P 500 Index, or other indexes. The market indexed strategy is an embedded derivative, similar to a call option. The fair value of the embedded derivative is computed as the present value of benefits attributable to the excess of the projected policy contract values over the projected minimum guaranteed contract values. The projections of policy contract values are based on assumptions for future policy growth, which include assumptions for expected index credits, future equity option costs, volatility, interest rates, and policyholder behavior. The projections of minimum guaranteed contract values include the same assumptions for policyholder behavior as are used to project policy contract values. The embedded derivative cash flows are discounted using a risk-free interest rate increased by instrument-specific credit risk tied to Global Atlantic's own credit rating.
164

Valuation of embedded derivatives – Interest-sensitive life products
Interest-sensitive life products allow a policyholder’s account value to grow based on the performance of certain equity indexes, which results in an embedded derivative similar to a call option. The embedded derivative related to the index is bifurcated from the host contract and measured at fair value. The valuation of the embedded derivative is the present value of future projected benefits in excess of the projected guaranteed benefits, using the option budget as the indexed account value growth rate and the guaranteed interest rate as the guaranteed account value growth rate. Present values are based on discount rate curves determined at the valuation date or issue date as well as assumed lapse and mortality rates. The discount rate equals the forecast treasury rate increased by instrument-specific credit risk tied to Global Atlantic’s own credit rating. Changes in discount rates and other assumptions such as spreads and/or option budgets can have a substantial impact on the embedded derivative.
Valuation of embedded derivatives in modified coinsurance or funds withheld
Global Atlantic's reinsurance agreements include modified coinsurance and coinsurance with funds withheld arrangements that include terms that require payment by the ceding company of a principal amount plus a return that is based on a proportion of the ceding company’s return on a designated portfolio of assets. Because the return on the funds withheld receivable or payable is not clearly and closely related to the host insurance contract, these contracts are deemed to contain embedded derivatives, which are measured at fair value. Global Atlantic is exposed to both the interest rate and credit risk of the assets. Changes in discount rates and other assumptions can have a significant impact on this embedded derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivatives is included in the funds withheld receivable at interest and funds withheld payable at interest line items on our consolidated statement of financial condition. The change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives is recorded in net investment-related gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of operations.
As of March 31, 2024, the embedded derivative liability balance totaled $4.1 billion for fixed-indexed annuities, and $486.2 million for interest-sensitive life. The increase (decrease) to the embedded derivatives on fixed-indexed annuity and indexed universal life as a result of hypothetical changes in interest rates, credit spreads, and equity market prices are summarized in the table below. This sensitivity considers the direct effect of such changes only and not changes in any other assumptions used in or items considered in the measurement of such balances.

Share Repurchases in the First Quarter of 2024
Under our current share repurchase program, KKR is authorized to repurchase its common stock from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing, manner, price and amount of any common stock repurchases will be determined by KKR in its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. KKR expects that the program, which has no expiration date, will continue to be in effect until the maximum approved dollar amount has been used. The program does not require KKR to repurchase any specific number of shares of common stock, and the program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. In addition to the repurchases of common stock described above, the repurchase program is used for the retirement (by cash settlement or the payment of tax withholding amounts upon net settlement) of equity awards issued pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plans representing the right to receive shares of common stock.
As of April 26, 2024, there is approximately $101 million remaining under KKR's share repurchase program.
The table below sets forth the information with respect to repurchases made by or on behalf of KKR & Co. Inc. or any "affiliated purchaser" (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act) of our common stock for the periods presented. During the first quarter of 2024, no shares of common stock were repurchased, and no equity awards were retired.

SECTION 1.04.  Divisions.  For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.
 
SECTION 1.05.  Interest Rates.  The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to ABR, Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, EURIBOR Rate, Daily Simple RFR or any Benchmark or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereof (including any Benchmark Replacement), or any calculation, component definition thereof or rate referenced in the definition thereof, including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate  (including any Benchmark Replacement) implemented pursuant to Section 3.04 upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, and (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 3.04(c), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of ABR, Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, EURIBOR Rate, Daily Simple RFR or any Benchmark or have the same volume or liquidity as did ABR, Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, EURIBOR Rate, Daily Simple RFR or any Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.  In addition, the discontinuation of ABR, Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, EURIBOR Rate, Daily Simple RFR or any Benchmark and any alternative, successor or replacement reference rate may result in a mismatch between the reference rate referenced in this Agreement and your other financial instruments, including potentially those that are intended as hedges.  The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of ABR, Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, EURIBOR Rate, Daily Simple RFR or any Benchmark or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, with all determinations of such ABR, Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, EURIBOR Rate, Daily

36

Simple RFR or any Benchmark or such alternative, successor or replacement rate by the Administrative Agent to be conclusive, absent manifest error.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain ABR, Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, EURIBOR Rate, Daily Simple RFR or any Benchmark or any such alternative, successor or replacement rate, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

ARTICLE II

SECTION 2.01.  The Loans.
 
(a)          (i)          Each Lender severally agrees, on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make loans to the Borrowers under this Section 2.01(a)(i) (each, a “Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding the Commitment of such Lender and, as to all Lenders and all Borrowers, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding the Aggregate Borrowing Availability (or the Alternate Currency Equivalent thereof).
 
(ii)         ABR Loans shall be denominated in Dollars, Term Benchmark Loans may be denominated in Dollars or Euros, and RFR Loans shall be denominated in Sterling (or subject to a Benchmark Replacement, Dollars).
 
(iii)       Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (A) the Total Credit Exposure shall not at any time exceed the then Aggregate Facility Amount and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans is subject to the Concentration Limits.
 
(iv)      Within such limits, the Borrowers may from time to time borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay Loans in whole or in part pursuant to Section 3.06(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.01.
 
(v)      The Borrowers shall be co-borrowers with respect to each Borrowing, and shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations and liabilities with respect thereto in accordance with Sections 2.05 and 2.06.
 

(b)          Borrowing Procedure.  (i)  Each Borrowing shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 in the case of a Borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans and RFR Loans, or $1,000,000, in the case of a Borrowing of ABR Loans, or in each case an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in an Alternate
 
37

Currency, the Alternate Currency Equivalent thereof, rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of such Alternate Currency), and shall be made on notice by the requesting Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day (or, with respect to Interest Periods other than one, three or six months, fourth Business Day) prior to the date of such Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans or not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of such Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of ABR Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice thereof.
 
(ii)        Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers and shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C, specifying therein the requested (1) date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (2) Type of Loans comprising such Borrowing, (3) the applicable Borrowing Category (or as applicable Borrowing Categories), (4) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, stated in Dollars, and the Currency thereof and (5) in the case of a Borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans, initial Interest Period for such Loans.

(iv)      After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, and subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the requesting Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to such account of such Borrower as the Administrative Agent and such Borrower may agree.
 
(v)      If the requesting Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Notice of Borrowing, then the applicable Loans shall be made as ABR Loans.  If the requesting Borrower fails to provide a timely notice of Conversion or Continuation with respect to a Borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Continuation with respect thereto with an Interest Period of one month.  If the requesting Borrower requests a Borrowing of, Conversion to, or Continuation of Term Benchmark Loans in any such Notice of Borrowing, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  If the requesting Borrower requests a Borrowing of, Conversion to, or Continuation of Term Benchmark Loans in any such Notice of Borrowing, but fails to specify the Currency thereof, it will be deemed to have specified such Loans in Dollars.
 
(vi)       After giving effect to all Borrowings, all Conversions and all Continuations, there shall not be more than 15 Interest Periods in effect.
 
For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Borrower be permitted to request a Daily Simple RFR Loan denominated in Dollars until after the occurrence of a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to clause (1) of the definition thereof in accordance with Section 3.04(c).

38

(c)          Types of Loans.  Each Borrowing and each Conversion or Continuation thereof shall consist of Loans of the same Type (and, if such Loans are Term Benchmark Loans, having the same Interest Period) made, Continued or Converted on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their Commitment Percentages.
 
(d)          Accounts.  (i)  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
 
(ii)          The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (x) the amount of each Loan, the Type thereof, the Borrowing Category applicable thereto and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (y) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (z) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
 
(iii)          The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to this clause (d) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans made to any Borrower or make payments for other obligations (including L/C Reimbursement Obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
(e)          Notes.  Any Lender may, through the Administrative Agent, request that the Loans to be made by it be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrowers.  In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a joint and several promissory note payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns), substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each, a “Note”), in the amount of the Commitment of such Lender, dated the Closing Date and otherwise appropriately completed.
 
(f)          To the extent that prior to the Closing Date, Existing Loans were made to the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement which remain outstanding as of the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that on the Closing Date, the Existing Loans shall be re-evidenced as Loans under this Agreement and the terms of the Existing Loans shall be evidenced by this Agreement.
 
SECTION 2.02.  Letter of Credit Facility.
 
(a)          Letters of Credit.  (i)  Each Issuing Lender agrees, on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to issue one or more letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of a Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the date ten Business Days before the Commitment Termination Date, provided, that the total L/C Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit may not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Facility Amount.
 
39

(ii)        Letters of Credit may be denominated in Dollars or any Alternate Currency, as requested in writing by the Borrower.
 
(iii)       Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the issuance of Letters of Credit shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.01(a)(iii) and to the Concentration Limits.
 
(iv)      Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, a Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be revolving, and accordingly a Borrower may, during the period referred to in clause (i) above, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
 
(v)      The Borrowers shall be co-obligors with respect to each Letter of Credit, and shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations and liabilities with respect thereto in accordance with Sections 2.05 and 2.06.
 
(b)          Terms; Issuance.  (i)            Each Letter of Credit shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Lender and have a stated expiration date that is no later than the earlier of (x) one year after its date of issuance and (y) five Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided that a Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond a date five Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date (except that one or more Letters of Credit may expire up to one year after the Commitment Termination Date if each such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers, the relevant Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent)).
 
(ii)         An Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or direct that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder), or (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any laws binding upon such Issuing Lender.
 
(c)          Issuance Procedure.  (i)  Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the proposed issuance date of such Letter of Credit, by the requesting Borrower to the relevant Issuing Lender (or such shorter notice as shall be acceptable to such Issuing Lender), with a copy to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice
 
40

thereof by telecopier or email.  Each such notice from the requesting Borrower (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be by telecopier or email, confirmed promptly by hard copy, specifying therein the Issuing Lender and the requested date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day) of such Letter of Credit, its face amount and expiration date and the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and shall attach the proposed form thereof (or such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit).  If requested by the applicable Issuing Lender, the requesting Borrower shall supply such application and agreement for letter of credit, in the form reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Lender, as the relevant Issuing Lender may require in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (“L/C Related Documents”) along with such other information reasonably related to the requested Letter of Credit.
 
(ii)        If the proposed Letter of Credit complies with the requirements of this Section 2.02, such Issuing Lender will, unless the Issuing Lender has received written notice from the Administrative Agent, that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV shall not be satisfied, make such Letter of Credit available to the requesting Borrower as agreed with the requesting Borrower in connection with such issuance.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any L/C Related Documents shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
 
(iii)       Each Issuing Lender shall furnish (A) upon request of the Administrative Agent, copies of the Letters of Credit issued by it hereunder, and (B) to the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day of each fiscal quarter a written report setting forth the Letters of Credit issued in Alternate Currencies, solely for purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent thereof.
 
(d)          Reimbursement; Syndicate Participation.  (i)  Automatically upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have automatically and unconditionally acquired a participation therein to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage on the terms provided in this clause (d) without any further action.
 
(ii)        Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall notify the requesting Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof.  Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day following any L/C Payment by an Issuing Lender (the “Honor Date”), the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse such Issuing Lender directly in an amount equal to the amount of such L/C Payment.
 
(iii)       If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse such Issuing Lender by such date, or if any amounts reimbursed by any Borrower are required to be returned or disgorged for any reason, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the unreimbursed amount of such L/C Payment (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share thereof.  In such event, such Borrower shall be irrevocably deemed to have requested a Borrowing of ABR Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount (without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section  2.01(b));
 
41

provided that, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Section 2.02, no such Borrowing of ABR Loans shall be permitted unless the Debt to Equity Ratio shall be less than or equal to [**] to 1.00 after giving pro forma effect to such Borrowing and the conditions specified in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 have been satisfied on or as of the date of such Borrowing.  Any notice given by an Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02(d)(iii) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
 
(iv)      Subject to the proviso in Section 2.02(d)(iii), each Lender (including any Lender acting as an Issuing Lender) unconditionally agrees upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.02(d)(iii) to make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Account in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the unpaid L/C Reimbursement Obligation not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan to the Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant Issuing Lender.
 
(v)      The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest on the unreimbursed amount of each L/C Reimbursement Obligation to the relevant Issuing Lender, for each day from the date of the relevant L/C Payment until such L/C Reimbursement Obligation is reimbursed or refinanced in full as herein provided, at the rate provided in Section 3.02(b)(ii).
 
(vi)       Subject to the proviso in Section 2.02(d)(iii), each Lender’s obligation to make the payments provided in clause (iv) above to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any L/C Payment shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by (A) any setoff or counterclaim which such Lender may have against an Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any other Person, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Commitments or any of them, (C) any of the matters referred to in clause (e) below or (D) any other circumstance whatsoever.
 
(vii)      If any Lender fails timely to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect (without duplication of amounts paid by any Borrower under clause (v) above).  A certificate of such Issuing Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
[**]=Certain information contained in this document, marked by “[**]”, has been excluded because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

42

(viii)     At any time after an Issuing Lender has made an L/C Payment and has received funds from a Lender in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.02, if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to such Lender its pro rata share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
 
(e)          Borrowers Obligations Unconditional.  The joint and several obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse each Issuing Lender for each L/C Payment under each Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever, including the following:
 
(i)        any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
 
(ii)       the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary may be acting), such Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; or
 
(iii)      any sight draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to obtain an L/C Payment under such Letter of Credit; or
 
(iv)          any payment by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any payment made by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law.
 
(f)          Issuing Lender Rights.  Each Lender and each Borrower agrees that, in making any L/C Payment under a Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificate and other document expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering the same.  None of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of the respective Related Parties, nor any correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the
 
43

Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable, (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or L/C Related Document.  None of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of the respective Related Parties, nor any correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 2.02(e); provided that anything therein or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against an Issuing Lender, and such Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive) damages suffered by the Borrowers which were directly caused by such Issuing Lender’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final and nonappealable ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.
 
(g)          Applicability of ISP98.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Lender and the requesting Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

44

(ii)       The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to each Issuing Lender, for the sole account of such Issuing Lender, (x) a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Commitment Termination Date, in an amount equal to [**]% per annum of the average daily available amount of such Letter of Credit and (y) such customary fees and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender as may be agreed in writing between KCMH and such Issuing Lender from time to time.  The Issuing Lender will notify the Borrowers of any and all such fees and charges payable under this Section.

SECTION 2.05.  Concerning Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.
 
(a)          Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each other Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.
 
(b)          Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a primary obligor and co-debtor, joint and several liability with each other Borrower, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 2.05), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them.
 
(c)          If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the
 
[**]=Certain information contained in this document, marked by “[**]”, has been excluded because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

45

Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then, in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.
 
(d)          The Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the provisions of this Section 2.05 constitute the full recourse Obligations of each of the Borrowers enforceable against each such Person to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other circumstance whatsoever.
 
(e)          Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Borrower  hereby waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any and all advances of the Loans made under this Agreement and any promissory note issued hereunder, notice of occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents), or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby waives all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshaling of assets of the Borrowers and any other entity or Person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations, and all surety ship defenses generally. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment, or place or manner for payment, compromise, refinancing, consolidation or renewals of any of the Obligations hereunder, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower or any other entity or Person primarily or secondarily liable for any Obligation. Each Borrower further agrees that its Obligations shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by the adequacy of any rights which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against any collateral security, guaranty or other means of obtaining repayment of any of the Obligations, the impairment of any collateral security securing or guaranty supporting the Obligations, including, without limitation, the failure to protect or preserve any rights which any Administrative Agent or any Lender may have in such collateral security  or guaranty or the substitution, exchange, surrender, release, loss or destruction of any such collateral security, any other act or omission which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Borrower, or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of such Borrower, all of which may be done without notice to such Borrower. If for any reason any other Borrower has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations, or if any of the Obligations have become irrecoverable from any other Borrower by reason of such other Borrower’s insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization or by other operation of law or for any reason, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party shall nevertheless be

binding on such Borrower to the same extent as if such Borrower at all times had been the sole obligor on such Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.05, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.05 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.05 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower, or any of the Lenders. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, ownership, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Borrower or the Lenders. Each of the Borrowers acknowledges and confirms that it has itself established its own adequate means of obtaining from the other Borrowers on a continuing basis all information desired by such Borrower concerning the financial condition of the other Borrowers and that each such Borrower will look to the other Borrowers and not to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for such Borrower to keep adequately informed of changes in the other Borrowers’ respective financial conditions.
 
(f)          The provisions of this Section 2.05 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or such successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against the other Borrowers  or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.05 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied and all Commitments terminated. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Lender or the Administrative Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.05 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.
 
(g)          Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of reimbursement, contribution, subrogation or the like against any other Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all Commitments terminated. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly
 
47

made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor.
 
(h)          Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that the payment of any amounts due with respect to the indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and the termination of the all Commitments. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, such Borrower will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations and shall be paid promptly after receipt to the Administrative Agent.
 
SECTION 2.06.  Contribution.
 
(a)          To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under Section 2.05 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a “Support Payment”) that, taking into account all other Support Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Support Payment in the same portion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as determined immediately prior to such Support Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Support Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, the other Borrowers for the net amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Support Payment.
 
(b)          As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under Section 2.06(a) without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.
 
(c)          This Section 2.06 is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 2.06 is intended or shall impair the obligations of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.05. Nothing
 
48

contained in this Section 2.06 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations made directly or indirectly to or for the benefit of that Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.
 
(d)          The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification of any Borrower under this Section 2.06 shall constitute assets of such Borrower.
 
(e)          The rights of an indemnifying Borrower against the other Borrowers under this Section 2.06 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of Commitments.

(b)          Inability to Determine Rates.  Subject to clause (c) of this Section 3.04, if, the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (x)(i) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR or the EURIBOR Rate (including because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis for such Interest Period), for the applicable Specified Currency and such Interest Period or (ii) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Daily Simple RFR for the applicable Specified Currency or (y) the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that (i) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, Term SOFR or the EURIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Loans will not fairly reflect the cost to such Majority Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Term Benchmark Loans or (ii) at any time, the applicable Daily Simple RFR will not fairly reflect the cost to such Majority Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective RFR Loans, the Administrative Agent shall so notify KCMH and the Lenders, whereupon the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender and:
 
(i)        any Notice of Borrowing requesting a Borrowing comprised of Term Benchmark or RFR Loans, as applicable, shall be ineffective;
 
(ii)       each Term Benchmark Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period and each RFR Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current calendar quarter, as applicable, be Converted into an ABR Loan; and
 
50

(iii)      the obligation of the Lenders to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans into, Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify KCMH and such Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
 
(c)          Benchmark Replacement Setting.
 
(i)        Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Hedging Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this 3.04(c)), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the relevant then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders and the Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple RFR denominated in Dollars, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.
 
(ii)          Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, implementation or administration of Term SOFR or the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than as provided in the definition of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes).
 
(iii)          Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (u) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (v) the occurrence of a Benchmark Replacement Date, (w) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (x) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (y) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (iv) below and (z) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or
 
51

election that may be made by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.04(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.04(c).
 
(iv)          Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (x) if a then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate or EURIBOR Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark (1) is no longer representative or will no longer be representative as of a specified date or (2) will cease to be provided by the administrator permanently or indefinitely as of a specified date, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any setting of such Benchmark at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (y) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (x) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for such Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is no longer or will no longer be representative for such Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or will cease to be provided by the administrator, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all settings of such Benchmark at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
 
(v)          Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, or Conversion to or Continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, Converted or Continued in the relevant then-current Benchmark during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the Borrower will be deemed to have Converted any request for a borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars into a request for a borrowing of or Conversion to an ABR Borrowing and (y) any request for a borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be ineffective.  Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Specified Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Specified Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 3.04(c), (x) if such Loan is denominated in Dollars, then (A) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such
 
52

Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan and (B) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan, (y) if such Loan is denominated in any Alternate Currency, then (A) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternate Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternate Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Alternate Currency shall, at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (a) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time and (B) any RFR Loan shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternate Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternate Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in any Alternate Currency, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (A) be converted into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternate Currency) immediately or (B) be prepaid in on the last day of such calendar quarter.
 
(d)          Certain Mandatory Conversions.
 
(i)        Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (x) each Term Benchmark Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, and each RFR Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current calendar quarter, as applicable, therefor, be Converted into an ABR Loan and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans into, Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans shall be suspended.
 
(ii)       If this Agreement shall require that any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan be Converted to an ABR Loan and such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall on the last day of the current Interest Period (in the case of a Term Benchmark Loan) or calendar quarter (in the case of a RFR Loan), as applicable, pay or prepay the full amount of such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable (provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent the Borrower from borrowing additional Loans to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder).
 
SECTION 3.05.  Voluntary Conversion or Continuation of Loans
 
53

(a)          Conversions.  The requesting Borrower may on any Business Day, upon written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day (or, with respect to Interest Periods other than one, three or six months, fourth Business Day) prior to the date of the proposed Conversion, Convert all or any portion of the outstanding Loans of one Type comprising part of the same Borrowing into Loans of the other Type; provided that in the case of any such Conversion of a Term Benchmark Loan into an ABR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall promptly reimburse the Lenders the amounts provided in Section 3.12 relating to such prepayment.  Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Loans to be Converted, and (z) if such Conversion is into Term Benchmark Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Loan.  Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.
 
(b)          Continuations.  The requesting Borrower may, on any Business Day, upon written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day (or, with respect to Interest Periods other than one, three or six months, fourth Business Day) prior to the date of the proposed Continuation, Continue all or any portion of the outstanding Term Benchmark Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing for one or more Interest Periods.  Each such notice of a Continuation shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Continuation, (ii) the Term Benchmark Loans to be Continued and (y) the duration of the next such Interest Period for such Term Benchmark Loans subject to such Continuation.  Each notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.
 
SECTION 3.06.  Prepayments of Loans.
 
(a)          Optional Prepayment.  The requesting Borrower may, on notice (given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed prepayment of Loans, with respect to ABR Loans, and on the third Business Day prior to the date of prepayment with respect to Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans) stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount (stated in Dollars) of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrowers jointly and severally shall, prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Alternate Currency Equivalent thereof in such Alternate Currency) and (ii) in the case of any such prepayment of a Term Benchmark Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall reimburse the Lenders the amounts provided in Section 3.12 relating to such prepayment.
 
(b)          Alternate Currency Revaluation.  If at any time by reason of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates the Total Credit Exposure exceeds 105% of the then aggregate amount of the Commitments, and the Majority Lenders so request, the Administrative Agent shall use all reasonable efforts to give prompt written notice thereof to KCMH, specifying the amount to be prepaid under this clause (b), and the Borrowers jointly and severally shall prepay Loans or, if no
 
54

Loans are outstanding, provide cash collateral for or otherwise backstop outstanding Letters of Credit on terms reasonably satisfactory to KCMH, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, in such aggregate amount as may be required to cause the Total Credit Exposure (treating such cash collateralization or other backstopping for purposes hereof as a reduction in such Total Credit Exposure) to be equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the Commitments, such payments or other measures to be made within 10 Business Days of demand or, in the case of prepayment of Term Benchmark Loans, on the date that is the earlier of (i) the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor and (ii) the last Business Day of the first full calendar month after such revaluation, provided that any such prepayment shall be accompanied by any amounts payable under Section 3.12.  The determinations of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.
 
SECTION 3.07.  Payments; Computations; Etc.
 
(a)          Pro Rata Payments.  The Loans comprising each Borrowing shall be made pro rata among the Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages.  Except as otherwise provided hereunder, all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made for the pro rata account of the Lenders based on the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof, and all payments of commitment fees and letter of credit commission shall be made for the pro rata account of the Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages.
 
(b)          Lenders’ Obligations Several.  The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement are several and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or any payment required to be made by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, nor shall any Lender be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender.
 
(c)          Currencies.  All payments by the Borrower of or in respect of principal of and interest on and other amounts directly relating to any Loan that are denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be made in such Alternate Currency.  All payments of principal and interest on any Loan denominated in Dollars, all payments in respect of any Letter of Credit, and all payments of fees payable pursuant to Section 2.03(c), commitment fees and agency fees hereunder and all other payments by any Borrower provided for in this Agreement, except as provided in the preceding sentence, shall be made in Dollars.
 
(d)          Payments.
 
(i)        The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under each other Loan Document without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in the Principal Financial Center for the relevant Currency not later than 11:00 a.m. Local Time on the due date of such payment (each such payment made after such time on such date to be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day).
 
(ii)       The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest ratably to the Lenders as provided in Section 3.07(a) for the account of their respective Applicable Lending
 
55

Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.06(c), from and after the assignment date set forth therein, the Administrative Agent shall remit all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such assignment date directly between themselves.
 
(e)          Computations.  All computations of interest based on the ABR (except any Federal Funds Rate component thereof) or the SONIA Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.  All computations of interest based on the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Daily Simple RFR with respect to Dollars or the Federal Funds Rate and of commitment fee shall be made by the Administrative Agent, and any computations of amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.03, shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or other amount is payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
 
(f)          Payment Dates.  Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes would be due on a day other than a Business Day, such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and any such extension of such due date shall in such case be included in the computation of interest; provided, that if such extension would cause payment of principal or interest in respect of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
 
(g)          Presumption by Administrative Agent.
 
(i)        Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made its share available at such time in accordance with Section 2.01(b) and may (but shall not be obligated), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to a Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then (A) the applicable Lender, on one hand, and (B) the Borrowers on a joint and several basis on the other hand, severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to a Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (x) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (I) the Federal Funds Rate and (II)(a) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (if such Loan is denominated in Dollars), (b) at the overnight London interbank offered rate for the relevant Currency (if such Loan is
 
56

denominated in an Alternate Currency, other than Sterling) or (c) at SONIA Rate if such Loan is denominated in Sterling and (y) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans.  If a Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
 
(ii)       Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from KCMH prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y)(i) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (if such Loan is denominated in Dollars), (ii) at the EURIBOR Rate if such Loan is denominated in Euros or (iii) at SONIA Rate if such Loan is denominated in Sterling.
 
SECTION 3.08.  Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided, that:
 
(i)        if any such participation is purchased and all or any portion of the related payment is recovered, such participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
 
(ii)       the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply).

The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers, jointly and severally, rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.
 
SECTION 3.09.  Increased Costs
 
(a)          Increased Costs.  If any Change in Law shall:
 
(i)        impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.03) or the Issuing Lender; or
 
(ii)       impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable Alternate Currency any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
 
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Term Benchmark Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Term Benchmark Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers jointly and severally will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  This Section 3.09 shall not apply to Excluded Taxes or any matters covered by Section 3.11 relating to Taxes.
 
(b)          Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers jointly and severally will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for such reduction.
 
58

(c)          Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of any Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts and a reasonable basis for the determination thereof necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 3.09 and delivered to KCMH shall be conclusive on all Borrowers absent manifest error.  The Borrowers jointly and severally shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.
 
(d)          Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies KCMH of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
 
SECTION 3.10.  Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make or continue Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans or to fund or otherwise maintain Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans hereunder, (a) the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans into, Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify KCMH and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (b) each Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan of such Lender shall Convert into an ABR Loan at the end of the then current Interest Period for such Term Benchmark Loan, as applicable, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans.
 
SECTION 3.11.  Taxes.
 
(a)          All payments on account of the principal of and interest on the Loans and the Notes, fees and all other amounts whatsoever payable by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or liability for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law, decree or regulation.
 
(b)          In the event that any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable law, decree or regulation to deduct or withhold any Tax from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on, under or in respect of this Agreement, the Loans or any Loan Document, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, decree or regulation and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the Borrowers jointly and severally shall promptly pay
 
59

such recipient such additional amounts as may be required, after the deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes, to enable such recipient to receive from the Borrowers on the due date thereof an amount equal to the full amount stated to be payable to such recipient.
 
(c)          The Borrowers jointly and severally shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (including each Issuing Lender) against, and reimburse them upon demand for, any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties, that they may incur at any time arising out of or in connection with any such failure of the Borrowers to make any payment of Indemnified Taxes when due.
 
(d)          KCMH shall furnish to the Administrative Agent original or certified copies of official tax receipts in respect of each payment of Indemnified Taxes required under this Section 3.11, as soon as practicable after the date such payment is made, and the Borrowers shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent at its request or at the request of any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) to KCMH any other information, documents and receipts that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may reasonably require to establish that full and timely payment has been made of all Indemnified Taxes required to be paid under this Section 3.11.
 
(e)
 
(i)        Each Lender or Participant that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to KCMH and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8 IMY, Form W-8 EXP, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1, Exhibit E-2, Exhibit E-3 or Exhibit E-4, as applicable, and a Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of KCMH or the Administrative Agent.
 
(ii)       Each Lender that is a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to KCMH and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant of a Lender, to such Lender) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of KCMH or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or Participant, as applicable, is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax.
 
60

(iii)      If the Administrative Agent is a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then it shall, on or prior to the date of this Credit Agreement (or, in the case of a successor Administrative Agent, on or before the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder), provide the Borrowers with a properly completed and duly executed copy of IRS Form W-9 (or any applicable successor form) confirming that the Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.  If the Administrative Agent is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then it shall, on or prior to the date of this Credit Agreement (or, in the case of a successor Administrative Agent, on or before the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder), provide the Borrowers with, (i) with respect to payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, a properly completed and duly executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable IRS Form W-8), and (ii) with respect to payments made to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8IMY confirming that the Administrative Agent agrees (A) to be treated as a “United States person” for U.S. federal withholding Tax purposes and the payments it receives for the account of such Lenders are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States or (B) is a “Qualified Intermediary” for U.S. federal withholding Tax purposes; provided, in each case, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 3.11(e)(iii) that it is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of any change in, or in the interpretation by any Governmental Authority of, any law or the method by which such Administrative Agent must comply therewith occurring after the date hereof (or, in the case of a successor Administrative Agent, occurring after the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder). Such Administrative Agent agrees that if such documentation previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or promptly notify the Borrowers in writing of its legal inability to do so.
 
(f)          Each Lender shall deliver to any Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with any obligations of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or to determine that such Lender has complied with its obligations or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any payment, under FATCA or any similar regime arising as a result of the transactions contemplated under any Loan Document. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
 
In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the written request of KCMH after the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender under this Section 3.11.  Each Lender shall promptly notify KCMH at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to KCMH (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.
 
61

(g)          A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to KCMH (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement or at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by KCMH, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.
 
(h)          If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund or credit (in lieu of such refund) of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.11, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 3.11 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender to make available its tax returns or its books or records (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
 
(i)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if pursuant to this Section 3.11 a Borrower is required to pay to or for the account of any Lender any additional amounts, then such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the sole and absolute judgment of such Lender, such change (i) would eliminate or reduce any such excess additional amounts and (ii) would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
 
SECTION 3.12.  Break Funding Payments.  The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender which is in the nature of funding breakage costs or costs of liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds and any other related expense (but excluding loss of margin or other loss of anticipated profit), which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by any Borrower in making any Borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans after a Borrower has given a Notice of Borrowing requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including as a result of any failure to fulfill, on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV), (b) default by any Borrower in making any prepayment of any Term Benchmark Loan when due after such Borrower has given notice thereof in accordance with this Agreement, (c) the making
 
62

by any Borrower of a prepayment of any Term Benchmark Loan on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, (d) default by any Borrower in payment when due of the principal of or interest on any Term Benchmark Loan, (e) the Conversion or Continuation of any Term Benchmark Loan on a day other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, and (f) any assignment such Lender is required to make pursuant to Section 3.13(b) if such Lender holds Term Benchmark Loans at the time of such assignment.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts and a reasonable basis for the determination thereof that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and delivered to KCMH shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers jointly and severally shall pay to such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
 
SECTION 3.13.  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
 
(a)          Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.09, or requires any Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, if, in the sole and absolute judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.09 or 3.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.
 
(b)          Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.09, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that, pursuant to the terms of Section 9.01, requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all of the Lenders affected (and such Lender is an affected Lender) and with respect to which the Majority Lenders shall have granted their consent, then such Borrower may, at the Borrowers’ joint and several sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
 
(i)        no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on and as of the date of such notice and the date of such assignment;
 
(ii)       such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.12) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
 
63

(iii)      in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.09 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
 
(iv)      such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
 
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling a Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.  A Lender so replaced shall not be required to pay the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.06(b).
 
SECTION 3.14.  Defaulting Lenders.
 
(a)          Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
 
(i)         Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Lenders.
 
(ii)        Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.03 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ L/C Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as any Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and KCMH, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Lender’s future L/C Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting
 
64

Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Payments in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Payments owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Payments owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Reimbursement Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitments without giving effect to Section 3.14(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 3.14(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
 
(iii)      Certain Fees.  Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the facility fee pursuant to Section 2.03(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans funded by it, and (2) its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral. Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit fees pursuant to Section 2.03(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to the terms hereof.  With respect to any facility fee or letter of credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 3.14(a)(iii), the Borrowers jointly and severally shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s L/C Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
 
(iv)      Reallocation of Participations to Reduce L/C Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x), if requested by the applicable Issuing Lender, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate of the Total Credit Exposure allocable to any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-
 
65

Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation
 
(v)        Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall jointly and severally, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, promptly cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ L/C Exposure.
 
(b)          Defaulting Lender Cure.  If KCMH, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 3.14(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
 
(c)          New Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that it will have no L/C Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(viii)    Indebtedness arising under fronting and/or settlement facilities (“Fronting Facilities”); provided that, at least 10 Business Days prior to incurring any such Indebtedness (or such shorter period as MHCB shall reasonably agree, it being agreed MHCB shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a response to KCMH as soon as practicable after receipt of such notice), KCMH and/or the relevant Subsidiary shall have provided MHCB a bona fide opportunity (through a written notice to MHCB) to provide such Indebtedness, including an offer regarding the timing of establishing such indebtedness, and MHCB shall have either (1) declined (through a written notice

85

such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Lender.
 
(c)          The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Obligors to secure any of the obligations of the Obligors under the Loan Documents, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Loan Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
 
SECTION 8.02.  Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Obligor or any Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
 
SECTION 8.03.  Exculpatory Provisions.
 
(a)          The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
 
(i)        shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
 
(ii)       shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
 
(iii)      shall not, except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
 
86

relating to any Obligor or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
 
(b)          The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower or a Lender.
 
(c)          The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
 
SECTION 8.04.  Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or such issuance.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
 
SECTION 8.05.  Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under any Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent and any Issuing Lender may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent and the Issuing Lender, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.06.  Resignation of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and KCMH.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with KCMH, to appoint a successor, which shall be a nationally recognized bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify KCMH and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this subsection.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this subsection).  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between KCMH and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
 
SECTION 8.07.  Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon any Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
 
SECTION 8.08.  No Other Duties; Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lead Arranger and any bookrunner listed on the cover page hereof shall not, in such capacities, have any powers, duties or responsibilities under any of the Loan Documents.
 
88

SECTION 8.09.  Intercreditor Agreement Governs. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Obligor hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant to the terms hereof.  Each Lender hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and each other intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant to the terms hereof (including any amendments or other modifications thereof) and to subject the Liens securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof.
 
SECTION 8.10.  Collateral Matters; Credit Bidding.
 
(a)          Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.03 or with respect to a Secured Creditor’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors in accordance with the terms thereof.
 
(b)          The Secured Creditors hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of any bankruptcy laws, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law; provided that to the extent the Loans are paid in full in cash, the Commitments are terminated and the Letters of Credit cash collateralized in accordance with the terms hereof, the consent of Majority Lenders shall not be required in connection with any such credit bid.   In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Creditors shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Majority Lenders and, except as set forth above, with the consent of the Majority Lenders, on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Creditors’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Majority Lenders or
 
89

their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Majority Lenders contained in Section 9.01 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Creditors, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Creditor or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Creditors pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Creditor or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.  Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Creditor are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Creditor shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Creditor (and/or any designee of the Secured Creditor which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

(b)          This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements provided for herein constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

SECTION 9.03.  No Waiver; Remedies; Setoff
 
(a)          No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
 
(b)          If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify KCMH and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
 
SECTION 9.04.  Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
 
(a)          Costs and Expenses.  The Borrowers jointly and severally shall pay (i) all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel (together with one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction)), in connection with the syndication of the facility contemplated hereby, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, (ii) all out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel (together with one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) and, after notice to KCMH, of more than one such counsel to the extent the Administrative Agent or

(c)          Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity.
 
95

(d)          Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any Letter of Credit or the use of proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
(e)          Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 15 Business Days after demand therefor.
 
SECTION 9.05.  Binding Effect, Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
 
SECTION 9.06.  Assignments and Participations.
 
(a)          Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest in accordance with clause (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
 
(b)          Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, that
 
96

(i)        except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, KCMH otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
 
(ii)       each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;
 
(iii)      the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and
 
(iv)      no assignment shall be made to a natural person.
 
Subject to notice to KCMH and acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the Assignment Date specified in each Assignment and Assumption (an “Assignment Date”), the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.09, 3.11, 3.12 and 9.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to such Assignment Date.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section.
 
(c)          Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its address specified in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
 
97

Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
 
(d)          Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Borrower or any of any of KCMH’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
 
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso of Section 9.01 that affects such Participant.  Subject to clause (e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits and obligations of Sections 3.09, 3.11, and 3.12 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.06.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.13(b) with respect to any Participant.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e)          Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.09, 3.11 and 3.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.
 
(f)          Certain Pledges.  Any Lender, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent may at any time grant security interest in all or any portion of its rights
 
98

under this Agreement or any Note to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.
 
(g)          Resignation as Issuing Lender after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time MHCB assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 9.06(b), MHCB may, upon 30 days’ notice to KCMH and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Lender, KCMH shall be entitled to appoint, from among the Lenders, a successor Issuing Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by KCMH to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of MHCB as Issuing Lender.  If MHCB resigns as Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all L/C Exposure with respect thereto.  Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender, and (b) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to MHCB to effectively assume the obligations of MHCB with respect to such Letters of Credit.

99

(C)         WAIVER OF VENUE.  EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (B) ABOVE.  EACH BORROWER  IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
 
(D)         SERVICE OF PROCESS.  EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.02, OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED IN WRITING BY KCMH.

SECTION 9.14.  Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.15.  USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
 
102

SECTION 9.16.  Judgment Currency.  This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or an Alternate Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and any payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to amounts denominated in such Specified Currency.  The payment obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder.  If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange which shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding that on which such judgment is rendered.  The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder or under the Notes in the Second Currency to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrowers hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against, and to pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on demand in the Specified Currency, any difference between the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, in the Specified Currency and the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.
 
SECTION 9.17.  European Monetary Union.  (a)  Definitions.  In this Section 9.17 and in each other provision of this Agreement to which reference is made in this Section 9.17 (whether expressly or impliedly), the following terms have the following respective meanings:

(b)          Payments by the Administrative Agent Generally.  With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in the Euro or in a National Currency Unit, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Borrower or any of the Lenders in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in the Euro Unit or, as the case may be, in a National Currency Unit) to the account of any Borrower or any Lender, as the case may be, in the Principal Financial Center in the Participating Member State which the Borrower or, as the case may be, such Lender shall have specified for such purpose.  In this paragraph (c), “all relevant steps” shall mean all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of the Euro.
 
(c)          [Reserved].

(e)          Other Consequential Changes.  Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrowers to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrowers under or pursuant to
 
104

this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Section 9.17, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to the Euro in Participating Member States.
 
SECTION 9.18.  Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
 
(a)          the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
 
(b)          the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(ii)       a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
 
(iii)      the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down   and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
 
SECTION 9.19.  Existing Letters of Credit and Existing Loans.  The parties to this Agreement agree that, on the Closing Date, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation.  Existing Loans, Existing Letters of Credit and Obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Closing Date shall continue as Loans, Letters of Credit and Obligations under (and shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the foregoing, upon the effectiveness of the amendment and restatement contemplated hereby on the Closing Date, all references in the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) to the “Administrative Agent”, the “Credit Agreement” and the “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to refer to the Administrative Agent, this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

(iii)          If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse such Issuing Lender by such date, or if any amounts reimbursed by any Borrower are required to be returned or disgorged for any reason, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the unreimbursed amount of such L/C Payment (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share thereof.  In such event, such Borrower shall be irrevocably deemed to have requested a Borrowing of ABR Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount (without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section  2.01(b)); provided that, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Section 2.02, no such Borrowing of ABR Loans shall be permitted unless the Debt to Equity Ratio shall be less than or equal to [**] to 1.00 after giving pro forma effect to such Borrowing and the conditions specified in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 have been satisfied on or as of the date of such Borrowing.  Any notice given by an Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02(d)(iii) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
 
(iv)          Subject to the proviso in Section 2.02(d)(iii), each Lender (including any Lender acting as an Issuing Lender) unconditionally agrees upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.02(d)(iii) to make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Account in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the unpaid L/C Reimbursement Obligation not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan to the Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant Issuing Lender.
 
(v)          The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest on the unreimbursed amount of each L/C Reimbursement Obligation to the relevant Issuing Lender, for each day from the date of the relevant L/C Payment until such L/C Reimbursement Obligation is reimbursed or refinanced in full as herein provided, at the rate provided in Section 3.02(b)(ii).
 
(vi)          Subject to the proviso in Section 2.02(d)(iii), each Lender’s obligation to make the payments provided in clause (iv) above to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any L/C Payment shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by (A) any setoff or counterclaim which such Lender may have against an Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any other Person, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Commitments or any of them, (C) any of the matters referred to in clause (e) below or (D) any other circumstance whatsoever.
 
(vii)          If any Lender fails timely to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on

39

demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect (without duplication of amounts paid by any Borrower under clause (v) above).  A certificate of such Issuing Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(viii)          At any time after an Issuing Lender has made an L/C Payment and has received funds from a Lender in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.02, if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to such Lender its pro rata share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
 
(e)          Borrowers Obligations Unconditional.  The joint and several obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse each Issuing Lender for each L/C Payment under each Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever, including the following:
 
(i)          any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
 
(ii)          the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary may be acting), such Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; or
 
(iii)          any sight draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to obtain an L/C Payment under such Letter of Credit; or
 
(iv)          any payment by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any payment made by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law.
 
40

(f)          Issuing Lender Rights.  Each Lender and each Borrower agrees that, in making any L/C Payment under a Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificate and other document expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering the same.  None of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of the respective Related Parties, nor any correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable, (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or L/C Related Document.  None of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of the respective Related Parties, nor any correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 2.02(e); provided that anything therein or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against an Issuing Lender, and such Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive) damages suffered by the Borrowers which were directly caused by such Issuing Lender’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final and nonappealable ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.
 
(g)          Applicability of ISP98.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Lender and the requesting Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Letter of Credit.
 
SECTION 2.03.  Fees.
 
(a)          Agency Fee.  The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the Administrative Agent’s own account, an administrative agency fee at the times and in the amounts as agreed in writing by KCMH and the Administrative Agent.
 
(b)          Facility Fee.  The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a facility fee on the amount of the Commitment of such Lender for each day during the period from the date hereof until the Commitment Termination Date, at the rate per annum described in the fee schedule set forth on Annex A, payable quarterly in arrears on the entire Aggregate Facility Amount (irrespective of usage) on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, on the Commitment Termination Date and on the date of termination of the Commitments.

(ii)          The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to each Issuing Lender, for the sole account of such Issuing Lender, (x) a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Commitment Termination Date, in an amount equal to [**]% per annum of the average daily available amount of such Letter of Credit and (y) such customary fees and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender as may be agreed in writing between KCMH and such Issuing Lender from time to time.  The Issuing Lender will notify the Borrowers of any and all such fees and charges payable under this Section.
 
(d)          Other Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger for their own respective accounts such other fees in the amounts and at the times as may be agreed in writing between KCMH and the Administrative Agent and/or the Lead Arranger.

(b)          Commitment Termination or Reduction.  KCMH shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the Commitments; provided, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) after giving effect to such termination or reduction, (A) the Total Credit Exposure does not exceed the Aggregate Facility Amount and (B) the L/C Exposure does not exceed the Letter of Credit Facility Amount.  Once terminated or reduced, the Commitments may not be reinstated.
 
SECTION 2.05.  Concerning Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.
 
(a)          Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each other Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.
 
(b)          Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a primary obligor and co-debtor, joint and several liability with each other Borrower, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section

[**]=Certain information contained in this document, marked by “[**]”, has been excluded because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

42

2.05), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them.
 
(c)          If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then, in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.
 
(d)          The Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the provisions of this Section 2.05 constitute the full recourse Obligations of each of the Borrowers enforceable against each such Person to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other circumstance whatsoever.
 
(e)          Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Borrower hereby waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any and all advances of the Loans made under this Agreement and any promissory note issued hereunder, notice of occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents), or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby waives all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshaling of assets of the Borrowers and any other entity or Person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations, and all surety ship defenses generally. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment, or place or manner for payment, compromise, refinancing, consolidation or renewals of any of the Obligations hereunder, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower or any other entity or Person primarily or secondarily liable for any Obligation. Each Borrower further agrees that its Obligations shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by the adequacy of any rights which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against any collateral security, guaranty or other means of obtaining repayment of any of the Obligations, the impairment of any collateral security securing or guaranty supporting the Obligations, including, without limitation, the failure to protect or preserve any rights which any Administrative Agent or any Lender may have in such collateral security  or guaranty or the substitution, exchange, surrender, release, loss or destruction of any such collateral security, any other act or omission which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Borrower, or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of such Borrower, all of

43

which may be done without notice to such Borrower. If for any reason any other Borrower has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations, or if any of the Obligations have become irrecoverable from any other Borrower by reason of such other Borrower’s insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization or by other operation of law or for any reason, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party shall nevertheless be binding on such Borrower to the same extent as if such Borrower at all times had been the sole obligor on such Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.05, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.05 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.05 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower, or any of the Lenders. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, ownership, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Borrower or the Lenders. Each of the Borrowers acknowledges and confirms that it has itself established its own adequate means of obtaining from the other Borrowers on a continuing basis all information desired by such Borrower concerning the financial condition of the other Borrowers and that each such Borrower will look to the other Borrowers and not to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for such Borrower to keep adequately informed of changes in the other Borrowers’ respective financial conditions.
 
(f)          The provisions of this Section 2.05 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or such successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.05 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied and all Commitments terminated. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Lender or the Administrative Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.05 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.
 
(g)          Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of reimbursement, contribution, subrogation or the like against any other Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any

44

payments made by it to any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all Commitments terminated. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor.
 
(h)          Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that the payment of any amounts due with respect to the indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and the termination of the all Commitments. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, such Borrower will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations and shall be paid promptly after receipt to the Administrative Agent.
 
SECTION 2.06.  Contribution.
 
(a)          To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under Section 2.05 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a “Support Payment”) that, taking into account all other Support Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Support Payment in the same portion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as determined immediately prior to such Support Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Support Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, the other Borrowers for the net amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Support Payment.
 
(b)          As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under Section 2.06(a) without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.
 
45

(c)          This Section 2.06 is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 2.06 is intended or shall impair the obligations of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.05. Nothing contained in this Section 2.06 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations made directly or indirectly to or for the benefit of that Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.
 
(d)          The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification of any Borrower under this Section 2.06 shall constitute assets of such Borrower.
 
(e)          The rights of an indemnifying Borrower against the other Borrowers under this Section 2.06 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of Commitments.

(c)          Benchmark Replacement Setting.
 
(i)          Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Hedging Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this 3.04(c)), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the relevant then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders and the Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple RFR denominated in Dollars, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.
 
(ii)          Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, implementation or administration of Term SOFR or the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than as provided in the definition of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes).
 
(iii)          Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (u) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (v) the occurrence of a Benchmark Replacement Date, (w)
48

the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (x) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (y) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (iv) below and (z) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.04(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.04(c).
 
(iv)          Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (x) if a then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate or EURIBOR Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark (1) is no longer representative or will no longer be representative as of a specified date or (2) will cease to be provided by the administrator permanently or indefinitely as of a specified date, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any setting of such Benchmark at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (y) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (x) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for such Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is no longer or will no longer be representative for such Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or will cease to be provided by the administrator, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all settings of such Benchmark at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
 
(v)          Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, or Conversion to or Continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, Converted or Continued in the relevant then-current Benchmark during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the Borrower will be deemed to have Converted any request for a borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars into a request for a borrowing of or Conversion to an ABR Borrowing and (y) any request for a borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be ineffective.  Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Specified Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with

49

respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Specified Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 3.04(c), (x) if such Loan is denominated in Dollars, then (A) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan and (B) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan, (y) if such Loan is denominated in any Alternate Currency, then (A) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternate Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternate Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Alternate Currency shall, at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (a) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time and (B) any RFR Loan shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternate Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternate Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in any Alternate Currency, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (A) be converted into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternate Currency) immediately or (B) be prepaid in on the last day of such calendar quarter.
 
(d)          Certain Mandatory Conversions.
 
(i)          Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (x) each Term Benchmark Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, and each RFR Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current calendar quarter, as applicable, therefor, be Converted into an ABR Loan and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans into, Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans shall be suspended.
 
(ii)          If this Agreement shall require that any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan be Converted to an ABR Loan and such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall on the last day of the current Interest Period (in the case of a Term Benchmark Loan) or calendar quarter (in the case of a RFR Loan), as applicable, pay or prepay the full amount of such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable (provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent the Borrower from borrowing additional Loans to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder).

SECTION 3.05.  Voluntary Conversion or Continuation of Loans
 
(a)          Conversions.  The requesting Borrower may on any Business Day, upon written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day (or, with respect to Interest Periods other than one, three or six months, fourth Business Day) prior to the date of the proposed Conversion, Convert all or any portion of the outstanding Loans of one Type comprising part of the same Borrowing into Loans of the other Type; provided that in the case of any such Conversion of a Term Benchmark Loan into an ABR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall promptly reimburse the Lenders the amounts provided in Section 3.12 relating to such prepayment.  Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Loans to be Converted, and (z) if such Conversion is into Term Benchmark Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Loan.  Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.
 
(b)          Continuations.  The requesting Borrower may, on any Business Day, upon written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day (or, with respect to Interest Periods other than one, three or six months, fourth Business Day) prior to the date of the proposed Continuation, Continue all or any portion of the outstanding Term Benchmark Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing for one or more Interest Periods.  Each such notice of a Continuation shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Continuation, (ii) the Term Benchmark Loans to be Continued and (y) the duration of the next such Interest Period for such Term Benchmark Loans subject to such Continuation.  Each notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.
 
SECTION 3.06.  Prepayments of Loans.
 
(a)          Optional Prepayment.  The requesting Borrower may, on notice (given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed prepayment of Loans, with respect to ABR Loans, and on the third Business Day prior to the date of prepayment with respect to Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans) stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount (stated in Dollars) of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrowers jointly and severally shall, prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Alternate Currency Equivalent thereof in such Alternate Currency) and (ii) in the case of any such prepayment of a Term Benchmark Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall reimburse the Lenders the amounts provided in Section 3.12 relating to such prepayment.
 
(b)          Alternate Currency Revaluation.  If at any time by reason of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates the Total Credit Exposure exceeds 105% of the then aggregate amount
51

of the Commitments, and the Majority Lenders so request, the Administrative Agent shall use all reasonable efforts to give prompt written notice thereof to KCMH, specifying the amount to be prepaid under this clause (b), and the Borrowers jointly and severally shall prepay Loans or, if no Loans are outstanding, provide cash collateral for or otherwise backstop outstanding Letters of Credit on terms reasonably satisfactory to KCMH, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, in such aggregate amount as may be required to cause the Total Credit Exposure (treating such cash collateralization or other backstopping for purposes hereof as a reduction in such Total Credit Exposure) to be equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the Commitments, such payments or other measures to be made within 10 Business Days of demand or, in the case of prepayment of Term Benchmark Loans, on the date that is the earlier of (i) the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor and (ii) the last Business Day of the first full calendar month after such revaluation, provided that any such prepayment shall be accompanied by any amounts payable under Section 3.12.  The determinations of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.
 
SECTION 3.07.  Payments; Computations; Etc.
 
(a)          Pro Rata Payments.  The Loans comprising each Borrowing shall be made pro rata among the Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages.  Except as otherwise provided hereunder, all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made for the pro rata account of the Lenders based on the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof, and all payments of commitment fees and letter of credit commission shall be made for the pro rata account of the Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages.
 
(b)          Lenders’ Obligations Several.  The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement are several and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or any payment required to be made by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, nor shall any Lender be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender.
 
(c)          Currencies.  All payments by the Borrower of or in respect of principal of and interest on and other amounts directly relating to any Loan that are denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be made in such Alternate Currency.  All payments of principal and interest on any Loan denominated in Dollars, all payments in respect of any Letter of Credit, and all payments of fees payable pursuant to Section 2.03(c), commitment fees and agency fees hereunder and all other payments by any Borrower provided for in this Agreement, except as provided in the preceding sentence, shall be made in Dollars.
 
(d)          Payments.
 
(i)          The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under each other Loan Document without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in the Principal Financial Center for the relevant Currency not later than 11:00 a.m. Local Time on the due date of such payment (each such payment made after such time on such date to be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day).
 
52

(ii)          The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest ratably to the Lenders as provided in Section 3.07(a) for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.06(c), from and after the assignment date set forth therein, the Administrative Agent shall remit all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such assignment date directly between themselves.
 
(e)          Computations.  All computations of interest based on the ABR (except any Federal Funds Rate component thereof) or the SONIA Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.  All computations of interest based on the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Daily Simple RFR with respect to Dollars or the Federal Funds Rate and of commitment fee shall be made by the Administrative Agent, and any computations of amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.03, shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or other amount is payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
 
(f)          Payment Dates.  Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes would be due on a day other than a Business Day, such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and any such extension of such due date shall in such case be included in the computation of interest; provided, that if such extension would cause payment of principal or interest in respect of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
 
(g)          Presumption by Administrative Agent.
 
(i)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made its share available at such time in accordance with Section 2.01(b) and may (but shall not be obligated), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to a Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then (A) the applicable Lender, on one hand, and (B) the Borrowers on a joint and several basis on the other hand, severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to a Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (x) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (I) the Federal Funds Rate
53

and (II)(a) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (if such Loan is denominated in Dollars), (b) at the overnight London interbank offered rate for the relevant Currency (if such Loan is denominated in an Alternate Currency, other than Sterling) or (c) at SONIA Rate if such Loan is denominated in Sterling and (y) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans.  If a Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
 
(ii)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from KCMH prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y)(i) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (if such Loan is denominated in Dollars), (ii) at the EURIBOR Rate if such Loan is denominated in Euros or (iii) at SONIA Rate if such Loan is denominated in Sterling.
 
SECTION 3.08.  Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided, that:
 
(i)          if any such participation is purchased and all or any portion of the related payment is recovered, such participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
 
(ii)          the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms

54

of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply).
 
The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers, jointly and severally, rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.
 
SECTION 3.09.  Increased Costs
 
(a)          Increased Costs.  If any Change in Law shall:
 
(i)          impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.03) or the Issuing Lender; or
 
(ii)          impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable Alternate Currency any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
 
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Term Benchmark Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Term Benchmark Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers jointly and severally will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  This Section 3.09 shall not apply to Excluded Taxes or any matters covered by Section 3.11 relating to Taxes.
 
(b)          Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect

55

to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers jointly and severally will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for such reduction.
 
(c)          Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of any Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts and a reasonable basis for the determination thereof necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 3.09 and delivered to KCMH shall be conclusive on all Borrowers absent manifest error.  The Borrowers jointly and severally shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.
 
(d)          Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies KCMH of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
 
SECTION 3.10.  Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make or continue Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans or to fund or otherwise maintain Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans hereunder, (a) the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans into, Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify KCMH and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (b) each Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan of such Lender shall Convert into an ABR Loan at the end of the then current Interest Period for such Term Benchmark Loan, as applicable, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans.
 
SECTION 3.11.  Taxes.
 
(a)          All payments on account of the principal of and interest on the Loans and the Notes, fees and all other amounts whatsoever payable by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or liability for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law, decree or regulation.
 
(b)          In the event that any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable law, decree or regulation to deduct or withhold any Tax from any amounts

56

payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on, under or in respect of this Agreement, the Loans or any Loan Document, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, decree or regulation and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the Borrowers jointly and severally shall promptly pay such recipient such additional amounts as may be required, after the deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes, to enable such recipient to receive from the Borrowers on the due date thereof an amount equal to the full amount stated to be payable to such recipient.
 
(c)          The Borrowers jointly and severally shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (including each Issuing Lender) against, and reimburse them upon demand for, any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties, that they may incur at any time arising out of or in connection with any such failure of the Borrowers to make any payment of Indemnified Taxes when due.
 
(d)          KCMH shall furnish to the Administrative Agent original or certified copies of official tax receipts in respect of each payment of Indemnified Taxes required under this Section 3.11, as soon as practicable after the date such payment is made, and the Borrowers shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent at its request or at the request of any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) to KCMH any other information, documents and receipts that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may reasonably require to establish that full and timely payment has been made of all Indemnified Taxes required to be paid under this Section 3.11.
 
(e)
 
(i) Each Lender or Participant that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to KCMH and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8 IMY, Form W-8 EXP, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1, Exhibit E-2, Exhibit E-3 or Exhibit E-4, as applicable, and a Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of KCMH or the Administrative Agent.
 
(ii) Each Lender that is a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to KCMH and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case
57

of a Participant of a Lender, to such Lender) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of KCMH or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or Participant, as applicable, is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax.
 
(iii)          If the Administrative Agent is a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then it shall, on or prior to the date of this Credit Agreement (or, in the case of a successor Administrative Agent, on or before the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder), provide the Borrowers with a properly completed and duly executed copy of IRS Form W-9 (or any applicable successor form) confirming that the Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.  If the Administrative Agent is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then it shall, on or prior to the date of this Credit Agreement (or, in the case of a successor Administrative Agent, on or before the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder), provide the Borrowers with, (i) with respect to payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, a properly completed and duly executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable IRS Form W-8), and (ii) with respect to payments made to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8IMY confirming that the Administrative Agent agrees (A) to be treated as a “United States person” for U.S. federal withholding Tax purposes and the payments it receives for the account of such Lenders are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States or (B) is a “Qualified Intermediary” for U.S. federal withholding Tax purposes; provided, in each case, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 3.11(e)(iii) that it is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of any change in, or in the interpretation by any Governmental Authority of, any law or the method by which such Administrative Agent must comply therewith occurring after the date hereof (or, in the case of a successor Administrative Agent, occurring after the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder). Such Administrative Agent agrees that if such documentation previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or promptly notify the Borrowers in writing of its legal inability to do so.
 
(f)          Each Lender shall deliver to any Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with any obligations of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or to determine that such Lender has complied with its obligations or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any payment, under FATCA or any similar regime arising as a result of the transactions contemplated under any Loan Document. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
 
58

In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the written request of KCMH after the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender under this Section 3.11.  Each Lender shall promptly notify KCMH at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to KCMH (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.
 
(g)          A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to KCMH (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement or at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by KCMH, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.
 
(h)          If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund or credit (in lieu of such refund) of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.11, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 3.11 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender to make available its tax returns or its books or records (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
 
(i)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if pursuant to this Section 3.11 a Borrower is required to pay to or for the account of any Lender any additional amounts, then such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the sole and absolute judgment of such Lender, such change (i) would eliminate or reduce any such excess additional amounts and (ii) would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
 
SECTION 3.12.  Break Funding Payments.  The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender which is in the nature of funding breakage costs or costs of liquidation

59

or redeployment of deposits or other funds and any other related expense (but excluding loss of margin or other loss of anticipated profit), which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by any Borrower in making any Borrowing of Term Benchmark Loans after a Borrower has given a Notice of Borrowing requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including as a result of any failure to fulfill, on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV), (b) default by any Borrower in making any prepayment of any Term Benchmark Loan when due after such Borrower has given notice thereof in accordance with this Agreement, (c) the making by any Borrower of a prepayment of any Term Benchmark Loan on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, (d) default by any Borrower in payment when due of the principal of or interest on any Term Benchmark Loan, (e) the Conversion or Continuation of any Term Benchmark Loan on a day other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, and (f) any assignment such Lender is required to make pursuant to Section 3.13(b) if such Lender holds Term Benchmark Loans at the time of such assignment.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts and a reasonable basis for the determination thereof that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and delivered to KCMH shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers jointly and severally shall pay to such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
 
SECTION 3.13.  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
 
(a)          Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.09, or requires any Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, if, in the sole and absolute judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.09 or 3.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.
 
(b)          Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.09, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that, pursuant to the terms of Section 9.01, requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all of the Lenders affected (and such Lender is an affected Lender) and with respect to which the Majority Lenders shall have granted their consent, then such Borrower may, at the Borrowers’ joint and several sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
 
60

(i)          no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on and as of the date of such notice and the date of such assignment;
 
(ii)          such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.12) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
 
(iii)          in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.09 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
 
(iv)          such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
 
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling a Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.  A Lender so replaced shall not be required to pay the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.06(b).
 
SECTION 3.14.  Defaulting Lenders
 
(a)          Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
 
(i)          Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Lenders.
 
(ii)          Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.03 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ L/C Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as any Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and KCMH, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Lender’s future L/C

61

Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Payments in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Payments owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Payments owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Reimbursement Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitments without giving effect to Section 3.14(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 3.14(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
 
(iii)          Certain Fees.  Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the facility fee pursuant to Section 2.03(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans funded by it, and (2) its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral. Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit fees pursuant to Section 2.03(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to the terms hereof.  With respect to any facility fee or letter of credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 3.14(a)(iii), the Borrowers jointly and severally shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s L/C Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
 
(iv)          Reallocation of Participations to Reduce L/C Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but

62

only to the extent that (x), if requested by the applicable Issuing Lender, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate of the Total Credit Exposure allocable to any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation
 
(v)          Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall jointly and severally, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, promptly cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ L/C Exposure.
 
(b)          Defaulting Lender Cure.  If KCMH, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 3.14(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
 
(c)          New Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that it will have no L/C Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(e)          Payment of Taxes.  It will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay and discharge, all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits, or upon any properties belonging to it, prior to the date on which material penalties attach thereto, and all lawful material claims in respect of any Taxes imposed, assessed or levied that, if unpaid, could reasonably be expected to become a material Lien upon any Property of KCMH or any Subsidiary, provided that neither KCMH, nor any Subsidiary shall be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim that is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings if it has maintained adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment of management of KCMH) with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP or the failure to pay would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 7.02.  Investors’ Right to Cure.
 
(a)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01(d), in the event that KCMH fails to comply with the requirements of the covenant set forth in Section 6.03, until the expiration of the tenth day after the date on which financial statements for the fiscal period in which the covenant set forth in such Section 6.03 is being measured are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a), any Person shall have the right to make a direct or indirect equity investment in KCMH in cash (the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by such Person of net cash proceeds pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right (including through the capital contribution of any such net cash proceeds to such Person), the covenant set forth in such Section 6.03 shall be recalculated, giving effect to a pro forma increase to Total Equity as of the relevant date of determination in an amount equal to such net cash proceeds.
 
(b)          If, after the exercise of the Cure Right and the recalculations pursuant to clause (a) above, KCMH shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the covenant set forth in Section 6.03 for the relevant fiscal quarter, KCMH shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default or Event of Default under Section 7.01(d) that had occurred shall be deemed cured.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
 
SECTION 8.01.  Appointment and Authority.  (a)          Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints MHCB to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent under and in connection with the Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Borrowers shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
 
(b)          Each Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each such Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article VIII included such Issuing Lender with respect to

82

such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Lender.
 
(c)          The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Obligors to secure any of the obligations of the Obligors under the Loan Documents, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Loan Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
 
SECTION 8.02.  Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Obligor or any Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
 
SECTION 8.03.  Exculpatory Provisions.
 
(a)          The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
 
(i)          shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
 
(ii)          shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
 
(iii)          shall not, except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information

83

relating to any Obligor or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
 
(b)          The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower or a Lender.
 
(c)          The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
 
SECTION 8.04.  Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or such issuance.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
 
SECTION 8.05.  Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under any Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent and any Issuing Lender may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent and the Issuing Lender, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.06.  Resignation of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and KCMH.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with KCMH, to appoint a successor, which shall be a nationally recognized bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify KCMH and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this subsection.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this subsection).  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between KCMH and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
 
SECTION 8.07.  Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon any Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
 
SECTION 8.08.  No Other Duties; Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lead Arranger and any bookrunner listed on the cover page hereof shall not, in such capacities, have any powers, duties or responsibilities under any of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.09.  Intercreditor Agreement Governs. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Obligor hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant to the terms hereof.  Each Lender hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and each other intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant to the terms hereof (including any amendments or other modifications thereof) and to subject the Liens securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof.
 
SECTION 8.10.  Collateral Matters; Credit Bidding
 
(a)          Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.03 or with respect to a Secured Creditor’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors in accordance with the terms thereof.
 
(b)          The Secured Creditors hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of any bankruptcy laws, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law; provided that to the extent the Loans are paid in full in cash, the Commitments are terminated and the Letters of Credit cash collateralized in accordance with the terms hereof, the consent of Majority Lenders shall not be required in connection with any such credit bid.   In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Creditors shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Majority Lenders and, except as set forth above, with the consent of the Majority Lenders, on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Creditors’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Majority Lenders or

86

their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Majority Lenders contained in Section 9.01 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Creditors, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Creditor or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Creditors pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Creditor or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.  Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Creditor are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Creditor shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Creditor (and/or any designee of the Secured Creditor which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

SECTION 9.03.  No Waiver; Remedies; Setoff

(b)          If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify KCMH and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(c)          Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity.

(d)          Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any Letter of Credit or the use of proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
(e)          Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 15 Business Days after demand therefor.
 
SECTION 9.05.  Binding Effect, Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
 
SECTION 9.06.  Assignments and Participations.
 
(a)          Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest in accordance with clause (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
 
(b)          Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, that
 
93

(i)          except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, KCMH otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
 
(ii)          each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;
 
(iii)          the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and
 
(iv)          no assignment shall be made to a natural person.
 
Subject to notice to KCMH and acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the Assignment Date specified in each Assignment and Assumption (an “Assignment Date”), the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.09, 3.11, 3.12 and 9.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to such Assignment Date.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section.
 
(c)          Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its address specified in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the

94

Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
 
(d)          Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Borrower or any of any of KCMH’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
 
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso of Section 9.01 that affects such Participant.  Subject to clause (e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits and obligations of Sections 3.09, 3.11, and 3.12 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.06.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.13(b) with respect to any Participant.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e)          Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.09, 3.11 and 3.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.
 
(f)          Certain Pledges.  Any Lender, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent may at any time grant security interest in all or any portion of its rights

95

under this Agreement or any Note to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.
 
(g)          Resignation as Issuing Lender after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time MHCB assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 9.06(b), MHCB may, upon 30 days’ notice to KCMH and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Lender, KCMH shall be entitled to appoint, from among the Lenders, a successor Issuing Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by KCMH to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of MHCB as Issuing Lender.  If MHCB resigns as Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all L/C Exposure with respect thereto.  Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender, and (b) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to MHCB to effectively assume the obligations of MHCB with respect to such Letters of Credit.
 
SECTION 9.07.  GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; ETC.
 
(A)          GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
 
(B)          SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.  EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.  EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
 
96

(C)          WAIVER OF VENUE.  EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (B) ABOVE.  EACH BORROWER  IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
 
(D)          SERVICE OF PROCESS.  EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.02, OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED IN WRITING BY KCMH.
 
SECTION 9.08.  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
SECTION 9.09.  Counterparts; Effectiveness; Execution.
 
(a)          Counterparts; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
 
(b)          Electronic Execution of Loan Documents or any Assignments.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
 
SECTION 9.10.  Survival.  The provisions of Sections 3.09, 3.11 and 3.12 and Article VIII and Section 9.04 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
 
97

consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
 
SECTION 9.11.  Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
 
SECTION 9.12.  Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and will be subject to customary confidentiality obligations of professional practice or will agree (which agreement may be oral or pursuant to company policy) to be bound by the terms of this Section 9.12 (or language substantially similar to this Section 9.12)), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any Self Regulatory Organization), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to the Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of KCMH or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than KCMH or its Subsidiary.
 
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from KCMH or any of its Subsidiaries relating to KCMH or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by KCMH or any of its Subsidiaries.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has

98

exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
 
SECTION 9.13.  No Fiduciary Relationship.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s length commercial transaction between the Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, on the other hand, and each Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification thereof); (b) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, each is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for any Borrower or any of its Affiliates, equity holders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (c) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lead Arranger has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arranger has advised or is currently advising any Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lead Arranger has any obligation to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (d) the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lead Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (e) the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulator and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate.  Each Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
 
SECTION 9.14.  Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.15.  USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
 
99

SECTION 9.16.  Judgment Currency.  This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or an Alternate Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and any payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to amounts denominated in such Specified Currency.  The payment obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder.  If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange which shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding that on which such judgment is rendered.  The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder or under the Notes in the Second Currency to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrowers hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against, and to pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on demand in the Specified Currency, any difference between the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, in the Specified Currency and the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.
 
SECTION 9.17.  European Monetary Union.  (a)  Definitions.  In this Section 9.17 and in each other provision of this Agreement to which reference is made in this Section 9.17 (whether expressly or impliedly), the following terms have the following respective meanings:

(c)          Payments by the Administrative Agent Generally.  With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in the Euro or in a National Currency Unit, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Borrower or any of the Lenders in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in the Euro Unit or, as the case may be, in a National Currency Unit) to the account of any Borrower or any Lender, as the case may be, in the Principal Financial Center in the Participating Member State which the Borrower or, as the case may be, such Lender shall have specified for such purpose.  In this paragraph (c), “all relevant steps” shall mean all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of the Euro.

(f)          Other Consequential Changes.  Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrowers to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrowers under or pursuant to

101

this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Section 9.17, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to the Euro in Participating Member States.

(iii)          the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down   and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

44

(b)         Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension.  Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Issuance Notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying (i) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.02(a)), (iii) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (v) in the case of the issuance of a Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit will be a Non-Collateralized Letter of Credit or a Collateralized Letter of Credit and (vi) the other terms and conditions of (and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend, as the case may be) such Letter of Credit no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least ten (10) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be.  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Issuance Notice, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender with a Revolving Commitment a copy of such Issuance Notice; provided that any failure to deliver or delay in delivering a copy of such Issuance Notice shall not relieve any Lender of its obligations under this Section 2.02.  In connection with any request for a Collateralized Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Collateralized L/C Collateral Certificate no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Collateralized Letter of Credit, confirming that the Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount after giving effect to such issuance shall equal or exceed the Minimum Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount.  If requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Administrative Agent’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  Upon the issuance, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such issuance and the amount of such Lender’s respective L/C Exposure in such Letter of Credit and deliver to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice or any failure to deliver or delay in delivering a copy of such Letter of Credit shall not relieve any Lender of its obligations under this Section 2.02.
 
(c)          Obligation of Lenders.  With respect to any Letter of Credit, the obligation of any Lender under such Letter of Credit shall be several and not joint and shall at any time be in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit (subject to Section 2.02(m)), and each Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide.
 
(d)          Adjustment of Pro Rata Shares.  Upon (i) each addition of a new Lender hereunder, (ii) each change in the Revolving Commitment of a Lender pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) each change in status of a Lender as a Participating Lender, then in the case of each outstanding Letter of Credit, without the consent of the beneficiary thereunder unless required
 
45

under such Letter of Credit or applicable law (including, if applicable, the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits governing such Letter of Credit), the Administrative Agent shall promptly amend such Letter of Credit to specify the Lenders that are parties thereto, after giving effect to such event, and such Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares as of the effective date of such amendment (subject to Section 2.02(m)).  However, it is acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that amendments of outstanding Letters of Credit may not be immediately effected and may be subject to the consent of the beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  Accordingly, whether or not Letters of Credit are amended as contemplated hereby, the Lenders agree that they shall purchase and sell participations or otherwise make or effect such payments among themselves (but through the Administrative Agent) so that payments by the Lenders of drawings under Letters of Credit and payments by the Borrower of L/C Disbursements made by the Lenders and interest thereon are, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (including with respect to Limited Fronting Lenders and Defaulting Lenders), in each case shared by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders from time to time in effect.
 
(e)         Issuance and Administration of Letters of Credit.  With respect to each Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall be executed and delivered by the Administrative Agent in the name and on behalf of, and as attorney-in-fact for, the Lenders party to such Letter of Credit, and the Administrative Agent shall act as the agent of each such Lender to (i) receive drafts, other demands for payment and other documents presented by the beneficiary under such Letter of Credit, (ii) determine whether such drafts, demands and documents are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit and (iii) notify such Lender and the Borrower that a valid drawing has been made and the date that the related disbursement is to be made; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or liability for any disbursement under such Letter of Credit, and each Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer of the Person that is serving as the Administrative Agent, to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of such Lender each Letter of Credit (together with any amendment, extension or renewal thereof) to be issued by the Lenders hereunder.  Promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender will furnish to the Administrative Agent such powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the Administrative Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Lender to execute and deliver each Letter of Credit (together with any amendment, extension or renewal thereof).
 
(f)          Responsibility of Administrative Agent With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments.  In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Administrative Agent shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.  As between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the Administrative Agent by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for:  (i) the form, validity, sufficiency,
 
46

accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit or any document presented by a beneficiary in connection with a drawing under any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Administrative Agent’s rights or powers hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith (as defined under Article 5 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by the State of New York), shall not give rise to any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent to the Borrower.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.02(f), the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against the Administrative Agent for any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which claims are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted under applicable law) suffered by the Borrower arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent in determining whether documents delivered under any Letter of Credit substantially comply with the terms thereof as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
(g)       Disbursement Procedures.  The Administrative Agent shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly after such examination notify each of the Lenders by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of such demand for payment.  With respect to any drawing properly made under any such Letter of Credit, as determined by the Administrative Agent, subject to Section 2.02(m), each Lender will make an L/C Disbursement in respect of such Letter of Credit in accordance with its liability under such Letter of Credit and this Agreement, such L/C Disbursement to be made in Dollars to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will make any such L/C Disbursement available to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds in Dollars, to the account identified by such beneficiary in connection with such demand for payment.  Promptly following any L/C Disbursement by any Lender in respect of any such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of such L/C Disbursement; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.
 
47

(h)          Reimbursement by the Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit.  In the event the Borrower has received a notice of any L/C Disbursement made pursuant to Section 2.02(g), the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender in respect of any such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent on or before the Business Day immediately following the date of such L/C Disbursement, but in no event later than the third (3rd) Business Day immediately following the date of such L/C Disbursement (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such L/C Disbursement; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders once such notice is delivered; provided, further, that anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such L/C Disbursement that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the amount of such L/C Disbursement with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Loan Notice to the Administrative Agent requesting Lenders with Revolving Commitments to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to such L/C Disbursement, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 4.02, Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such L/C Disbursement, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Lender for its Pro Rata Share of such L/C Disbursement; provided, further, if for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of exceeding the Revolving Commitments) proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by the Administrative Agent on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such L/C Disbursement, then the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such L/C Disbursement over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received.  Nothing in this Section 2.02(h) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender with a Revolving Commitment from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any such Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.02(h).
 
(i)         Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, for L/C Disbursements and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.02(h) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances:  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Administrative Agent, Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by the Administrative
 
48

Agent under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) any breach hereof or of any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
 
(j)           Indemnification.  Without duplication of any obligation of the Borrower under Section 10.04 or 10.05, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Administrative Agent from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of one outside counsel) which the Administrative Agent may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance or wrongful dishonor of any Letter of Credit by the Administrative Agent, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) the failure of the Administrative Agent to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act.
 
(k)         Cash Collateralization.  If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02, Lenders with L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total L/C Exposure) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or (ii) at any time, the Letter of Credit Usage exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the L/C Exposure (less the Collateralized Letter of Credit Usage) as of such date in Dollars plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (or, in the case of clause (ii), an amount in cash equal to 103% of such excess); provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, provided, further, that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clause (f) or (g) of Section 8.01.  Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations with respect to the Non-Collateralized Letters of Credit.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Lenders for any drawing under a Letter of Credit for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Exposure at such time or, if the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02 (but subject to the consent of Lenders with L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total L/C Exposure), be applied
 
49

to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
 
(l)           Collateralized Letters of Credit.
 
(i)           Pursuant to Section 2.02(b), and subject to Section 2.02(a), the Borrower may decide, prior to the issuance thereof, whether a Letter of Credit will be a Non-Collateralized Letter of Credit or a Collateralized Letter of Credit.
 
(ii)        Cash and Eligible Securities provided and pledged to secure a Collateralized Letter of Credit must be held in one or more Collateralized L/C Collateral Accounts, and such Cash and Eligible Securities will be held in such Collateralized L/C Collateral Accounts as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Collateralized L/C Security and Control Agreements).  The Administrative Agent will have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateralized L/C Collateral Accounts as provided in the Collateralized L/C Security and Control Agreements.  Interest or profits, if any, on Cash and Eligible Securities held in a Collateralized L/C Collateral Account will accumulate in such Collateralized L/C Collateral Account.  Cash and the proceeds of Eligible Securities held in Collateralized L/C Collateral Accounts shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Lenders for any drawing under a Collateralized Letter of Credit for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the Collateralized Letter of Credit Usage at such time.
 
(iii)       If, on the last Business Day of any calendar month, the Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount exceeds the Minimum Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount, then the Borrower may, within two (2) Business Days after such day, submit a written request to the Administrative Agent for the return of Cash and/or Eligible Securities held in Collateralized L/C Collateral Accounts having Collateralized L/C Collateral Amounts, in the aggregate, equal to or less than such excess and identified by the Borrower in such written request (in the manner required by the applicable Collateralized L/C Security and Control Agreement).  The Administrative Agent shall, within two (2) Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent receives such written request from the Borrower, instruct the applicable Custodian(s) to transfer such Cash and/or Eligible Securities to the Borrower; provided that, after giving effect to any such transfer, the Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount shall equal or exceed the Minimum Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount.  The Borrower shall have no right to request the return of, and the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to instruct any Custodian to transfer, Cash and/or Eligible Securities having Collateralized L/C Collateral Amounts, in the aggregate, of less than $100,000.
 
(iv)        So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, the Borrower may submit a written request to the Administrative Agent
 
50

for the substitution of Cash and/or Eligible Securities held in a Collateralized L/C Collateral Account and identified by the Borrower in such written request with Cash and/or Eligible Securities to be held in such Collateralized L/C Collateral Account and identified by the Borrower in such written request (in the manner required by the applicable Collateralized L/C Security and Control Agreement).  The Administrative Agent shall, within two (2) Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent receives such written request from the Borrower, instruct the applicable Custodian to (i) receive from the Borrower for deposit to a Collateralized L/C Collateral Account Cash and/or Eligible Securities identified by the Borrower in such written request and (ii) transfer Cash and/or Eligible Securities identified by the Borrower in such written request to the Borrower; provided that, after giving effect to any such substitution, the Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount shall equal or exceed the Minimum Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount.  The Borrower shall have no right to request the substitution of, and the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to instruct any Custodian to substitute, Cash and/or Eligible Securities having Collateralized L/C Collateral Amounts, in the aggregate, of less than $100,000.
 
(v)         So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, the Borrower may submit a written request to the Administrative Agent for the investment of cash held in a Collateralized L/C Collateral Account in Cash and/or Eligible Securities to be held in Collateralized L/C Collateral Accounts and identified by the Borrower in such written request (in the manner required by the applicable Collateralized L/C Security and Control Agreement).  The Administrative Agent shall, within two (2) Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent receives such written request from the Borrower, instruct the applicable Custodian to invest such cash in Cash and/or Eligible Securities identified by the Borrower in such written request; provided that, after giving effect to any such investment, the Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount shall equal or exceed the Minimum Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount.  The Borrower shall have no right to request the investment of, and the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to instruct any Custodian to invest, cash having a Collateralized L/C Collateral Amount of less than $100,000.
 
(vi)        The Borrower shall at all times cause the Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount to equal or exceed the Minimum Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount at such time.  If on any date the Minimum Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount exceeds the Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount (such excess, a “Collateralized L/C Collateral Deficiency”) (including as a result of any Collateralized L/C Security Invalidity), the Borrower shall, in no event later than the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the date on which the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of such Collateralized L/C Collateral Deficiency (the “Collateralized L/C Collateral Deficiency Correction Date”), transfer to one or more Collateralized L/C Collateral Accounts Cash and/or Eligible Securities so that the Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount shall equal or exceed the Minimum Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount; provided that anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the
 
51

Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Collateralized L/C Collateral Deficiency Correction Date that the Borrower intends to transfer to one or more Collateralized L/C Collateral Accounts Cash and/or Eligible Securities so that the Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount shall equal or exceed the Minimum Collateralized L/C Aggregate Collateral Amount, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Loan Notice to the Administrative Agent requesting Lenders with Revolving Commitments to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Collateralized L/C Collateral Deficiency Correction Date in an amount in Dollars equal to such Collateralized L/C Collateral Deficiency, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 4.02, Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall, on the Collateralized L/C Collateral Deficiency Correction Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Collateralized L/C Collateral Deficiency, the proceeds of which shall be transferred directly by the Administrative Agent to a Collateralized L/C Collateral Account; provided, further, if for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of exceeding the Revolving Commitments) proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by the Administrative Agent on the Collateralized L/C Collateral Deficiency Correction Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Collateralized L/C Collateral Deficiency, then the Borrower shall, on the Collateralized L/C Collateral Deficiency Correction Date, pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the Collateralized L/C True-Up Amount with respect to all Letters of Credit that are Collateralized Letters of Credit on such date.  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the Collateralized L/C True-Up Amount with respect to all Letters of Credit that are Collateralized Letters of Credit on such date, each Letter of Credit that is a Collateralized Letter of Credit on such date shall cease to be a Collateralized Letter of Credit for purposes of this Agreement and the Collateralized L/C Security Documents and shall be a Non-Collateralized Letter of Credit as of such date.  Nothing in this Section 2.02(l)(vi) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender with a Revolving Commitment from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any such Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.02(l)(vi).
 
(m)       Limited Fronting Lenders and Participating Lenders.  In the event that, and for so long as, any Lender acts as a Limited Fronting Lender on behalf of any Participating Lender:
 
(i)          such Limited Fronting Lender, in reliance upon the obligations of such Participating Lender contained in this Section 2.02(m), with respect to each Letter of Credit issued hereunder, (A) shall be an issuing bank under such Letter of Credit in place of such Participating Lender and (B) shall have a several (but not joint) obligation in respect of an amount of such Letter of Credit equal to the sum of (1) such Limited Fronting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit, plus (2) the product of the applicable Limited Fronting Percentage and such Participating Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit;
 
52

(ii)         by the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of such Limited Fronting Lender or such Participating Lender, such Limited Fronting Lender hereby grants to such Participating Lender, and such Participating Lender hereby acquires from such Limited Fronting Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to the product of the applicable Limited Fronting Percentage and such Participating Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, such Participating Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Limited Fronting Lender, the product of the applicable Limited Fronting Percentage and such Participating Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by such Limited Fronting Lender under such Letter of Credit and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the Reimbursement Date, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  Such Participating Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.02(m)(ii) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  To the extent that such Participating Lender has made payments pursuant to this Section 2.02(m)(ii) to reimburse such Limited Fronting Lender in respect of any participation interests purchased hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02(h) in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Limited Fronting Lender and such Participating Lender, in each case as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by such Participating Lender in respect of its participation pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Limited Fronting Lender for any payment made in any respect of any drawing under a Letter of Credit shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the amount of such drawing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
 
(iii)       such Limited Fronting Lender shall not issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such Participating Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless such Limited Fronting Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it with the Borrower and/or such Participating Lender to eliminate such Limited Fronting Lender’s risk with respect to such Participating Lender in respect of each Letter of Credit hereunder; and
 
(iv)         any reference in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the issuance by such Participating Lender of a letter of credit pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the issuance by such Limited Fronting Lender of such letter of credit in place of such Participating Lender pursuant to this Section 2.02(m).
 
Section 2.03         Pro Rata Shares.  All Revolving Loans shall be made, and all Letters of Credit issued, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares
 
53

(subject to Section 2.02(m)), it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Revolving Loan or issue a Letter of Credit requested hereunder nor shall any Revolving Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Revolving Loan or issue a Letter of Credit requested hereunder, except, in each case, as provided in Section 2.02(d).
 
Section 2.04         Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans.
 
(a)          Each conversion of Revolving Loans from one Interest Type to the other, and each continuation of SOFR Loans, shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent in the form of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Each such Conversion/Continuation Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans or of any conversion of SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans.  Except as otherwise provided herein, a SOFR Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such SOFR Loan.  The Administrative Agent shall determine the interest rate that shall apply to any converted or continued SOFR Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(c).
 
(b)          Each Conversion/Continuation Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a conversion of Revolving Loans from one Interest Type to the other, or a continuation of SOFR Loans, (ii) the requested date of the conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Revolving Loans to be converted or continued, (iv) the Interest Type of Revolving Loans to which existing Revolving Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto (each such Interest Period shall comply with the provisions of the definition of “Interest Period”).
 
(c)         Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if (i) an Event of Default of the type described in Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing, unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have so requested, each Revolving Loan will be converted into a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
 
Section 2.05          Notes; Loan Accounts.
 
(a)          Each Revolving Loan made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The loan accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Revolving Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon absent manifest error.  Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Revolving Loans made to the Borrower.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
 
54

(b)         Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, instead of or in addition to loan accounts, the Revolving Loans made by each Lender may be evidenced by one or more Revolving Loan Notes.  Each Lender shall endorse on the schedules annexed to its Revolving Loan Note the date, amount and maturity of each Revolving Loan deemed made by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto.  Each such Lender is irrevocably authorized by the Borrower to endorse its Revolving Loan Note and each Lender’s record shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the failure of a Lender to make, or an error in making, a notation thereon with respect to the Revolving Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any such Revolving Loan Note to such Lender.
 
Section 2.06         Prepayments.
 
(a)          Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower will have the right at any time to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, in minimum amounts of $2,500,000 or any multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.06.
 
(b)          Voluntary Commitment Reductions.
 
(i)           The Borrower may, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided that any such partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.
 
(ii)       The Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and shall reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof.
 
(c)          Mandatory Prepayments.  The Borrower shall from time to time prepay the Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect.
 
(d)          Application of Prepayments.
 
(i)          Any prepayment of the Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.06(a) shall be applied to repay outstanding Revolving Loans owing by the Borrower making such prepayment to the full extent thereof.
 
55

(ii)          Any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(c) shall be applied as follows:
 
(1)          first, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof without any permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments; and
 
(2)          second, to prepay outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit without any permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments;
 
(3)        third, to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit making such prepayment without any permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments; and
 
(4)            fourth, to the Borrower.
 
(e)          Notice of Prepayments.  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in the form of a Prepayment Notice of any prepayment of any Loan hereunder not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment.  Each such Prepayment Notice shall be irrevocable (other than to the extent provided in connection with refinancing the Obligations) and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid.
 
(f)         Application of Prepayments of Revolving Loans to Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans.  Considering each Class of Revolving Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to SOFR Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.04.
 
Section 2.07         Interest.
 
(a)         Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Class of Revolving Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:
 
(i)           if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or
 
(ii)          if a SOFR Loan, at Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.
 
(b)         The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Revolving Loan, and the Interest Period with respect to any SOFR Loan, shall be selected by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Loan Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be; provided that the Borrower may not select Term SOFR for any Credit Extension if the aggregate amount of such Credit Extension is less than $1,000,000.
 
56

(c)        In connection with SOFR Loans there shall be no more than eight (8) Interest Periods outstanding at any time.  In the event the Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a SOFR Loan in the applicable Loan Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Revolving Loan (if outstanding as a SOFR Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Revolving Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan).  In the event the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any SOFR Loan in the applicable Loan Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice (or fails to deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice within the time limits provided in Section 2.04(a)), the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month.  As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the SOFR Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime commercial lending rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
 
(d)         The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, with respect to any L/C Disbursement on behalf of the Borrower, interest on the amount paid by such Lender in respect of each such L/C Disbursement from the date of such L/C Disbursement to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date of such L/C Disbursement to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2.00% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.
 
(e)         Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.07(d) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable in Dollars on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full.  Promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.07(d), the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender with respect to such L/C Disbursement such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such L/C Disbursement for the period from the date on which such L/C Disbursement was made by Lenders to but excluding the date on which such L/C Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrower.
 
(f)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Revolving Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document is not paid when due, whether upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall, without further notice, bear interest, after as well as before judgment to the extent permitted by law, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Revolving Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Revolving Loan as provided in the preceding subsections of this
 
57

Section 2.07 and (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in the preceding subsections of this Section 2.07.
 
(g)         Interest on each Revolving Loan shall be paid in arrears by the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date for such Revolving Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.07(f) shall be payable on demand of the Administrative Agent, (ii) upon any repayment or prepayment of any Revolving Loan, interest accrued on the principal amount repaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment and (iii) upon any conversion of a SOFR Loan before the end of the current Interest Period therefor, interest accrued on such Revolving Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
 
(h)        Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower to any Lender hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect.  In addition, if when the Revolving Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received had at all times been in effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.
 
(i)          Term SOFR Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless the Administrative Agent has received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such amendments is provided to the Borrower, a written notice from the Borrower objecting to such amendments.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.
 
Section 2.08         Fees.
 
58

(a)          The Borrower agrees to pay to Lenders:
 
(i)        commitment fees equal to (1) the average of the daily difference between (A) the Revolving Commitments and (B) the aggregate principal amount of (x) all outstanding Revolving Loans plus (y) the Letter of Credit Usage, multiplied by (2) the Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage;
 
(ii)        letter of credit fees equal to (1) the Applicable Non-Collateralized Letter of Credit Fee, multiplied by (2) the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all Non-Collateralized Letters of Credit (regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be met and determined as of the close of business on any date of determination, but in any event expressly including all Non-Collateralized Letters of Credit which may have been drawn, to the extent not yet reimbursed pursuant to Section 2.02(h)); and
 
(iii)       letter of credit fees equal to (1) the Collateralized Letter of Credit Fee, multiplied by (2) the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all Collateralized Letters of Credit (regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be met and determined as of the close of business on any date of determination, but in any event expressly including all Collateralized Letters of Credit which may have been drawn, to the extent not yet reimbursed pursuant to Section 2.02(h)).  All fees referred to in this Section 2.08(a) shall be paid in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and upon receipt, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender (including each Participating Lender) its Pro Rata Share thereof.
 
(b)          The Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the following fees:
 
(i)           a letter of credit issuance fee of $[**] per Letter of Credit issued; and
 
(ii)        such documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment, transfer or payment of a Letter of Credit as are in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s standard schedule for such charges and as in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.
 
(c)       All fees referred to in Section 2.08(a) and 2.08(b) shall be calculated pursuant to the second sentence of Section 2.09(a).  The commitment fee referred to in Section 2.08(a)(i) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year during the Revolving Commitment Period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the Commitment Termination Date.  The fees referred to in Sections 2.08(a)(ii), 2.08(a)(iii) and 2.08(b) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the Commitment Termination Date and the date on which there ceases to be any Letter of Credit Usage, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the later of the Commitment Termination Date and the date on
 
[**]=Certain information contained in this document, marked by “[**]”, has been excluded because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

59

which there ceases to be any Letter of Credit Usage; provided that any such fees accruing after such later date shall be payable on demand.
 
(d)         In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
 
Section 2.09         Computation of Fees and Interest.
 
(a)          All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Administrative Agent’s prime commercial lending rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.  Interest and fees shall accrue during each period in which such interest or fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.
 
(b)          Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  The Administrative Agent will, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate and the resulting interest rate.
 
Section 2.10         Payments Generally.
 
(a)          All payments to be made by the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made without condition or deduction for any defense, set-off, recoupment or counterclaim.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, all payments to be made by the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s Office, and shall be made in dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in such Loan Document.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as expressly provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received.  Any payment received by the Administrative Agent later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
 
(b)        Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.
 
(c)          Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such
 
60

payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto.  If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:
 
(i)          if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and
 
(ii)        if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount (other than the interest thereon) shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the applicable Credit Extension.  If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate for Base Rate Loans to the applicable Credit Extension.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Commitments or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
 
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
 
(d)         If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the extension of Revolving Loans set forth in Article 4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
 
(e)          The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Loans are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Revolving Loans.
 
61

(f)          Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Revolving Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for the Revolving Loan in any particular place or manner.
 
Section 2.11         Sharing of Payments by Lenders.
 
(a)          If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment (i) on account of any Obligations due and payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time resulting in such Lender receiving payment in excess of its ratable share (calculated according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (B) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (ii) of or on account of any of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (calculated according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (B) the aggregate amount of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time, then, in each case, such Lender shall (x) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (y) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Obligations of the other Lenders due and payable or owing, as the case may be, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of such excess payments shall be shared by all such Lenders; provided that:
 
(i)          if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
 
(ii)          the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans to any assignee or participant.
 
(b)          Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party rights of set-off and counterclaim (subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.
 
Section 2.12         Defaulting Lenders.
 
62

(a)        Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
 
(i)           Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Revolving Loan or L/C Disbursement on a pro rata basis in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Revolving Loans and L/C Disbursements on a pro rata basis under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Revolving Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Loans of, and reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Loans of, or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded Letters of Credit are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Revolving Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.12(a)(iii).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
 
(ii)          Certain Fees.
 
63

(A)         No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 2.08(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
 
(B)          With respect to any fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iii) below and (y) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
 
(iii)      Reallocation of Letters of Credit.  With respect to any Letter of Credit outstanding at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, with the consent of the beneficiary thereunder to the extent required under applicable law (including, if applicable, the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits governing such Letter of Credit), but only if there has not occurred and shall not be continuing any Default or Event of Default unless all Non-Defaulting Lenders shall otherwise agree, (A) all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent (1) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (2) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Exposure plus the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Exposure reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender does not exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (B) each such Letter of Credit shall be amended by the Administrative Agent to specify the Lenders that are parties to such Letter of Credit (excluding, for avoidance of doubt, such Lender), after giving effect to such event, and such Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares as of the effective date of such amendment.  Subject to Section 10.23, no reallocation pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(iii) shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim by any party hereto against such Defaulting Lender arising from such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender.
 
(b)        Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon, as of the effective date specified in such notice, and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Revolving Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.12(a)(iii)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting
 
64

Lender; and provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.
 
(c)         New Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders in respect of any newly issued Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.12(a)(iii) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall have no obligation under each such Letter of Credit to the extent such Pro Rata Shares in respect thereof are so reallocated).
 
(d)          Lender Counterparties.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Lender shall not be a contractual counterparty with respect to any Guaranteed Swap Contract entered into while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender.
 
Section 2.13         Maturity Extensions of Revolving Loans.
 
(a)          The Borrower may, on each of the first and second anniversaries of the Effective Date, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.13, agree with one or more Lenders holding Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments of any Class to extend the Commitment Termination Date of such Class of Loans for an additional one year period from such Commitment Termination Date and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.13 (each such modification, an “Extension”) pursuant to a written offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made by the Borrower to all Lenders under such Class that is proposed to be extended under this Section 2.13, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the relative principal amounts of the outstanding Revolving Commitments of each Lender in such Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender.  In connection with each Extension, the Borrower will provide notification to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders of the applicable Class) of the requested new termination date for the extended Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments of such Class (each, an “Extended Termination Date”) and the due date for Lender responses, which due date shall be no sooner than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such notice by the Borrower.  In connection with any Extension, each Lender of the applicable Class wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due date, provide the Administrative Agent with a written notice thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  Any Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension.  In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.13.
 
(b)          After giving effect to any Extension, the Revolving Commitments so extended shall cease to be a part of the Class of which they were a part immediately prior to the Extension and shall be a new Class hereunder; provided that at no time shall there be more than four (4) different Classes of Revolving Commitments; provided, further, that, (i) all Credit Extensions and all prepayments of Revolving Loans shall continue to be made on a ratable basis among all Lenders, based on the relative amounts of their Revolving Commitments, until the repayment of the Revolving Loans attributable to the non-extended Revolving Commitments on the applicable Commitment Termination Date, (ii) the allocation of the outstanding Obligations with respect to
 
65

any then-existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit as between the Revolving Commitments of such new “Class” and the remaining Revolving Commitments shall be made on a ratable basis in accordance with the relative amounts thereof until the applicable Commitment Termination Date has occurred, (iii) no termination of Extended Revolving Commitments and no repayment of Extended Revolving Loans accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in Extended Revolving Commitments shall be permitted unless such termination or repayment (and corresponding reduction) is accompanied by at least a pro rata termination or permanent repayment (and corresponding pro rata permanent reduction), as applicable, of the Existing Revolving Loans and Existing Revolving Commitments (or all Existing Revolving Commitments of such Class and related Existing Revolving Loans shall have otherwise been terminated and repaid in full) and (iv) with respect to Letters of Credit, the Commitment Termination Date with respect to the Revolving Commitments may not be extended without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.  If the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceeds the Revolving Commitments as a result of the occurrence of the Commitment Termination Date (or the applicable Extended Termination Date with respect to any Class of Revolving Loans or Class of Revolving Commitments extended pursuant to this Section 2.13) while an extended Class of Revolving Commitments remains outstanding, the Borrower shall make such payments as are necessary in order to eliminate such excess on such date.
 
(c)          The consummation and effectiveness of each Extension shall be subject to the following:
 
(i)         no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time any Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders or at the time of such Extension (after giving effect to such Extension);
 
(ii)       the Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension (as applicable, “Extended Revolving Loans” or “Extended Revolving Commitments”) shall have the same terms as the Class of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to the related Extension Amendment (as applicable, “Existing Revolving Loans” or “Existing Revolving Commitments”); except (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Commitments of a Class to be extended pursuant to an Extension may be later than the Latest Maturity Date at the time of such Extension, and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Revolving Commitments of a Class to be extended pursuant to an Extension shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to the Latest Maturity Date at the time of such Extension; (B) the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) with respect to the Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, may be higher or lower than the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) for the Existing Revolving Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable; (C) the revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be higher or lower than the revolving credit commitment fee rate for Existing Revolving Commitments, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (D) no repayment of any
 
66

Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall be permitted unless such repayment is accompanied by an at least pro rata repayment of all earlier maturing Loans (including previously extended Loans) (or all earlier maturing Loans (including previously extended Loans) shall otherwise be or have been terminated and repaid in full); (E) the Extended Revolving Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments may contain a “most favored nation” provision for the benefit of Lenders holding Extended Revolving Commitments; and (F) the other terms and conditions applicable to Extended Revolving Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments may be terms different than those with respect to the Existing Revolving Loans or Existing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, so long as such terms and conditions only apply after the Latest Maturity Date; provided, further, that each Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable extending Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.13, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Revolving Commitments of the extending Lenders as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder; provided, however, that no Extension Amendment may provide for any Class of Extended Revolving Commitments to be secured by any assets of any Restricted Subsidiary that do not also secure the Existing Revolving Commitments;
 
(iii)        all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications by the Borrower generally directed to the applicable Lenders under the applicable Class in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
 
(iv)        the aggregate amount of the Extended Revolving Commitments extended pursuant to such Extension shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to such Extension; and
 
(v)         no Extension shall become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of such Extension, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02(a), (b) and (c) shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to the making of a Loan being deemed to be references to the Extension on the applicable date of such Extension), and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of such Extension and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.
 
(d)        For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 2.08 and Section 10.04 will not apply to any payment of interest or fees in respect of any Extended Revolving Commitments that have been extended pursuant to an Extension at a rate or rates different from those paid or payable in respect of Revolving Loans of any other Class, in each case as is set forth in the relevant Extension Offer made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.13 with respect to such Extensions of Revolving Commitments.
 
67

(e)          No Lender who rejects any request for an Extension shall be deemed a Non-Consenting Lender for purposes of Section 10.14.
 
(f)        The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments (collectively, “Extension Amendments”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes of Revolving Commitments created pursuant to an Extension, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.13, so long as the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of any Extension Amendment and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such Extension Amendment; provided, that all such Extension Amendments entered into with the Borrower by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Lenders.  Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, (i) the Borrower and the appropriate Guarantors and Subsidiaries shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Loan Document that the Administrative Agent reasonably requests to be amended to reflect the then latest Extended Termination Date and (ii) the Borrower and the appropriate Guarantors and Subsidiaries shall deliver such board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, a legal opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
 
(g)         Promptly following the consummation and effectiveness of any Extension, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly furnish to each Lender) written notice setting forth the Extended Termination Date and material economic terms of the Extension and the aggregate principal amount of each Class of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the Extension and attaching a copy of the fully executed Extension Amendment.
 
Section 2.14         Provisions Relating to NAIC Approved Banks.  If, at any time from and after the Effective Date, any Lender is not or ceases to be a NAIC Approved Bank, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof.  Each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, at all times from and after the Effective Date, (a) to be a NAIC Approved Bank or (b) if such Lender is not or ceases to be a NAIC Approved Bank, (i) to maintain in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement with a Confirming Bank (which Confirming Bank (if not a Lender), prior to entering into such Confirming Bank Agreement, shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such consent, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld)) upon such terms and conditions as such parties may agree or (ii) to maintain in effect a Limited Fronting Lender Agreement with a Limited Fronting Lender upon such terms and conditions as such parties may agree.  In the event that any Person (including any other Lender) agrees to act as a Confirming Bank or a Limited Fronting Lender for any Lender which is a Non-NAIC Approved Bank, such other Person shall receive such compensation therefor as such Non-NAIC Approved Bank and such Person may agree.  If any Lender shall enter into a Confirming Bank Agreement or a Limited Fronting Lender Agreement hereunder at any time, it shall promptly furnish a copy thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, thereafter,
 
68

promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the termination or expiration of such Confirming Bank Agreement or Limited Fronting Lender Agreement, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to act hereunder as a Confirming Bank or a Limited Fronting Lender for any other Lender.
 
Section 2.15         Incremental Facilities.
 
(a)        The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, elect to request prior to the Commitment Termination Date, an increase to the then-existing Revolving Commitments (any such increase, “New Revolving Commitments”), by an amount not in excess of the Increase Amount at such time and not less than $10,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent or such lesser amount that shall equal the Increase Amount at such time), and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.  Each such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Revolving Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “New Revolving Loan Lender”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such New Revolving Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that the Administrative Agent may elect or decline to arrange such New Revolving Commitments in its sole discretion and any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Revolving Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Revolving Commitment.  Such New Revolving Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (1) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Revolving Commitments; (2) all of the representations and warranties contained herein or in any Loan Document (other than the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.04(d) and 5.05) shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Increased Amount Date to the same extent as though made on and as of such Increased Amount Date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided that, in each case, such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof; (3) all New Revolving Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, the New Revolving Loan Lender and the Administrative Agent, each of which shall be recorded in the Register and each New Revolving Loan Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 3.01(e); (4) Holdings shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 3.04 in connection with the New Revolving Commitments; and (5) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.
 
(b)          On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) (x) each of the Revolving Lenders shall assign to each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders, and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Lenders, at the principal
 
69

amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date and (y) each outstanding Letter of Credit shall be amended in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.02(d), in each case as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Revolving Exposure will be held by then-existing Revolving Lenders and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (ii) each New Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (iii) each New Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Commitment and all matters relating thereto.  For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and provisions of the New Revolving Loans and New Revolving Commitments shall be documented solely as an increase, and shall be identical, to the then-existing Revolving Commitments.
 
The Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (x) the New Revolving Commitments and the New Revolving Loan Lenders, and (y) the respective interests in such Lender’s Revolving Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.15.
 
ARTICLE 3
Taxes, Yield Protection and Illegality
 
Section 3.01         Taxes.
 
(a)         Payments Free of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, provided that if any applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.
 
(b)         Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
 
(c)         Indemnification by the Borrower.  Without duplication of the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes in respect of payments under any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) that are imposed on
 
70

or payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.01 for any Indemnified Taxes to the extent that such recipient fails to notify the Borrower within 270 days after the date on which such Person has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes; provided, further, that, if the Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted giving rise to such claims are retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.  A certificate setting forth the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(d)       Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
 
(e)          Status of Lenders.  Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, whenever reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws and such other reasonably requested information as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  If any form, certification or other documentation provided by a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) (including any of the specific documentation described below) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing and shall promptly update or otherwise correct the affected documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing that such Lender is not legally eligible to do so.
 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
 
(A)          any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent duly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W‑9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine that such Lender is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding or information reporting requirements;
 
71

(B)       each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
 
(i)         IRS Form W‑8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
 
(ii)         IRS Form W‑8ECI (or any successor thereto) claiming that specified payments (as applicable) under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (as applicable) constitute income that is effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States,
 
(iii)        in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code (the “Portfolio Interest Exemption”), (x) a certificate (a “Tax Status Certificate”), substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1, to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower, within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no interest to be received is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business and (y) IRS Form W‑8BEN or W-8BEN-E,
 
(iv)        where such Lender is a partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or otherwise not a beneficial owner (e.g., where such Lender has sold a participation), IRS Form W‑8IMY (or any successor thereto), (if so required) a Tax Status Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-4, IRS Form W-9, and all required supporting documentation (including, where one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the Portfolio Interest Exemption, a Tax Status Certificate of such beneficial owner(s); provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender, a Tax Status Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-3 from the beneficial owner(s) shall be provided by the Foreign Lender on behalf of the beneficial owner(s)), or
 
(v)         any other form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
 
(C)        each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of duly completed and executed copies as shall be requested by the recipient), at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation
 
72

prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (1) to comply with the Borrower’s and/or Administrative Agent’s obligations under FATCA, (2) to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and/or (3) to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any payment under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pursuant to FATCA.  Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(e), no Lender shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to provide.
 
(f)          Status of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall deliver the following to the Borrower on or before the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower):  (1) if the Administrative Agent is not acting through a U.S. office, (x) executed copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN-E with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W‑8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W‑8ECI, IRS Form W‑8BEN, IRS Form W‑8BEN-E, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of others; provided, however, that no additional amounts for non-U.S. Taxes and non-U.S. Other Taxes shall be payable by the Borrower under Section 3.01 or Section 3.03(a) if such additional amounts or Other Taxes would not have been payable had the Administrative Agent acted through a U.S. office; provided, further, that such additional amounts for Taxes and Other Taxes shall be payable in accordance with Section 3.01 and Section 3.03(a) to the extent that such Taxes that are payable as a result of a change in law that occurred after the date hereof; and (2) if the Administrative Agent is acting through a U.S. office, (x) executed copies of IRS Form W‑8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W‑8IMY with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of others, certifying that it is a “U.S. branch,” that the payments its receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business within the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to such payments (and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person with respect to such payments as contemplated by Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the United States Treasury Regulations).
 
(g)          Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its good faith discretion, that it has received a refund in cash of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Credit Party or with respect to which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Credit Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes), as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the
 
73

amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority (other than any penalties arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the Lender as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction)) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s reasonable request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
 
Section 3.02         Illegality.
 
(a)       If any Lender reasonably and in good faith determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, after the Effective Date, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make SOFR Loans, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make SOFR Loans shall be suspended until the Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.
 
(b)          If a Lender reasonably and in good faith determines that it is unlawful for such Lender to maintain any SOFR Loan after the Effective Date, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, such SOFR Loans of that Lender then outstanding, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loan, shall convert to a Base Rate Loan on such applicable date and within three (3) Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lender accrued interest on such SOFR Loan along with all amounts required under Section 3.04.
 
(c)         If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain SOFR Loans has been so terminated or suspended, the Borrower may elect, by giving notice to the Lenders through the Administrative Agent, that all Revolving Loans which would otherwise be made or maintained by the Lenders as SOFR Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans.
 
(d)        If any Lender gives a notice pursuant to this Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its SOFR Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to this Section 3.02, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect.
 
74

Section 3.03         Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.
 
(a)          If any Lender reasonably and in good faith determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) after the later of (x) the Effective Date and (y) the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, there shall be any increase in the cost (including Taxes, other than (i) Taxes described in clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, (ii) Connection Income Taxes and (iii) Indemnified Taxes) to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loans or participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligations to participate in or issue any Letter of Credit), or any reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, promptly upon written demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reduction suffered, to the extent such Lender is imposing such costs on borrowers that are similarly situated to the Borrower with respect to whom such Lender has similar rights of compensation.
 
(b)          If any Lender reasonably and in good faith shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by the Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, in each case after the later of (x) the Effective Date and (y) the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased as a consequence of its Revolving Commitment, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, from time to time as specified by the Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for such increase, to the extent such Lender is employing such increase with respect to borrowers that are similarly situated to the Borrower with respect to whom such Lender has similar rights of compensation.
 
(c)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for all purposes of the Loan Documents, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning liquidity and capital adequacy issued by any United States regulatory authority (i) under or in connection with the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) in connection with the implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated
 
75

or implemented are deemed to have been adopted and to have taken effect after the date hereof and after the date any Lender becomes a party to this Agreement.
 
(d)          The Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.03 for any increased costs or reduced returns to the extent such Lender makes written demand on the Borrower for compensation later than 270 days after the date any such increased cost or reduced return is incurred; provided that, if the change in law giving rise to any such increased cost or reduced giving rise to such claims are retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.  A certificate setting forth the amount of such increased costs or reduced returns delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
Section 3.04         Funding Losses.  The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any loss (other than loss of profits or the Applicable Margin), expense or liability which the Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:
 
(a)          the failure of the Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of principal of any SOFR Loan;
 
(b)     the failure of the Borrower to continue a SOFR Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Conversion/Continuation Notice thereof;
 
(c)        the failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment of a SOFR Loan in accordance with any notice of prepayment given by the Borrower;
 
(d)          the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 2.06) or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of a SOFR Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period;
 
(e)          a Credit Extension of any SOFR Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in the Loan Notice delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower, or a conversion to or continuation of any SOFR Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower; or
 
(f)          any conversion of any of its SOFR Loans occurring on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Revolving Loan;
 
including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its SOFR Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, but excluding any administrative fee or other amount chargeable by such Lender for the calculation of such loss.
 
Section 3.05         Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
 
(a)          Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the
 
76

Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement.  Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.  No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.05(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
 
(b)        Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless the Administrative Agent has received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such amendments is provided to the Borrower, a written notice from the Borrower objecting to such amendments.
 
(c)          Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.05(d) below.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Borrower or any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.05, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.05(c).
 
(d)         Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not
 
77

or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
 
(e)         Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period.  During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.
 
Section 3.06         Certificates of LendersAny Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Article 3 shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of demonstrable error.  Such certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the methodology used in determining the amount payable to the Lender.
 
Section 3.07         Substitution of LendersIf the Borrower receives from any Lender notice of a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.03 or notice of illegality under Section 3.02, the Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitment (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) pursuant to Section 10.07(b) to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees procured by the Borrower; provided that (x) the Borrower shall be obligated to replace all Lenders that have made similar requests and (y) each such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under the Loan Documents from the applicable assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts).  The Borrower shall release such Lender from its obligations under the Loan Documents.  Any Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans.
 
Section 3.08         Survival.  The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in Section 3.01, Section 3.03 and Section 3.04 and the agreements and obligations of the Lenders in Section 3.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other Obligations.
 
Section 3.09        Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability.  Subject to Section 3.05, in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist
 
78

for ascertaining Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower.  Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 5.04         Financial Information.
 
(a)        The Historical Financial Statements, copies of which have been delivered to the Administrative Agent on behalf of each of the Lenders, fairly present, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the consolidated financial position of GALD and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and changes in financial position for such fiscal year.

Section 5.06          Compliance with ERISA.
 
(a)        Except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. Except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, no ERISA Event has occurred.  Except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, no member of the ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Code in respect of any Single Employer Pension Plan, (ii) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Single Employer Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan, or made any amendment to any Plan, which has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Code or (iii) incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.
 
(b)          To the extent the assets of the Borrower are deemed to be “plan assets” within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA, or otherwise, (i) on each day that an extension of credit pursuant to a Credit Extension is in effect, such extension of credit will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code as a result of the applicability of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60, and (ii) the fiduciary making the decision on behalf of the Borrower (the “Plan Fiduciary”) with respect to the Credit Extension will be deemed to represent and warrant to the Lenders or the Agents (the “Transaction Parties”) that (i) none of the Transaction Parties, nor any of their affiliates, has provided any investment advice on which it has relied in connection with the Credit Extensions, and the Transaction Parties are not otherwise acting as a fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA or Section 4975(e)(3) of the Code, to the Borrower or the Plan Fiduciary in connection with the Credit Extensions; and (ii) the Plan Fiduciary is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the transaction. For the avoidance of doubt the assets of the Borrower refers to its unconsolidated assets.

Section 5.08       Subsidiaries.  Each of GALD and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any Immaterial Subsidiary) (a) is duly organized, registered, incorporated and/or formed and validly existing and (except where such concept is not applicable) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, (b) has all corporate or other organizational power and authority and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to own or lease its assets and carry on its business as now conducted and (c) is duly qualified and is licensed and, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license, except in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (b) and (c) to the extent that such failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
Section 5.09       Investment Company Act of 1940.  No Credit Party is required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
 
Section 5.10        No Default.  No event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes, or which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute, a default under or in respect of any material agreement, instrument or undertaking to which such Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party or by which either such Credit Party or Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective assets is bound, unless such default would not have or be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.12       Environmental Matters.  The Borrower has reasonably concluded that Environmental Laws are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
Section 5.13          Full Disclosure.
 
(a)          As of the Effective Date, all written or formally presented information (other than financial projections) provided by such Credit Party to the Lenders in connection with the Transactions on or prior to the Effective Date is, when taken as a whole with all other information so provided, complete and correct in all material respects and when taken as a whole, did not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading.  As of the Effective Date, there are no facts known to such Credit Party (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and written

105

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Article 9.  The agreements in this Article 9 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Loans and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement.  Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender.

(a)         Each Lender and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 9.14(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section 9.14 shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
 
107

(b)          Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.
 
(c)          In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in immediately available funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate.
 
(d)          In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Revolving Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Revolving Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.  Without limitation of its rights hereunder, the Administrative Agent may cancel any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment at any time by written notice to the applicable assigning Lender and upon such revocation all of the Loans assigned pursuant to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be reassigned to such Lender without any requirement for payment or other consideration.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 10.07 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.
 
(e)         Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to
 
108

all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.14 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except, in each case of clause (x) and this clause (y), to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) except to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations, to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.
 
(f)         Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
 
(g)       Nothing in this Section 9.14 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

117

Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(d).
 
(c)         Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Revolving Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and each Lender (with respect to its own interests in the Facility only) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
 
(d)        Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a Natural Person or the Borrower, Holdings or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Borrower or Holdings or any Disqualified Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant.  Except to the extent limited by Section 10.07(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 3.04 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections (including Section 3.01(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) and Section 3.01(f)) and Section 3.07, as if such Participant were a Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b).  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender.
 
Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 10.07(d) shall, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of each
 
118

participant’s participation interest with respect to the Revolving Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (each, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment, Revolving Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b)(1) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
 
(e)          Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant; provided that this Section 10.07(e) shall not apply if the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.
 
(f)         Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Revolving Loan Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank of similar function having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
 
(g)          Electronic Execution of Assignments.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
 
Section 10.08      Confidentiality.  The Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Bookrunner, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all information provided to it by or on behalf of Holdings or any Subsidiary, or by the Administrative Agent on Holdings’ or such Subsidiary’s behalf, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed by the Credit Parties that, in any event, the Administrative Agent may disclose such information to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Bookrunner, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent and each Lender may make disclosures thereof to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such Person on breach of the provisions of this Section 10.08, or (ii) was or becomes available
 
119

on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Holdings or its Subsidiaries; provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries known to such Person; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Bookrunner, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any Lender may disclose such information (a) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority or representative thereof to which such Person is subject (including the NAIC) or in connection with an examination of such Person by any such authority; (b) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (c) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (d) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (e) to such Person’s independent auditors, credit insurance providers and other professional advisors on a confidential basis; (f) to any Participant, Lender or Eligible Assignee (including such parties’ investors or investment or professional advisors), actual or potential; provided that such Person agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 10.08 (or language substantially similar to this Section 10.08) which agreement may be pursuant to customary syndication practice; (g) as to any Lender or its Affiliate, as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which Holdings or any Subsidiary is party with such Lender or such Affiliate; (h) to its Affiliates and to their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, legal counsel, independent auditors and other advisors, experts or agents who need to know such information and who have been informed of the confidential nature thereof (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender or the Administrative Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.08); (i) to any other party to this Agreement; (j) to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(f) or any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Credit Party and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; provided that such Person agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 10.08 (or language substantially similar to this Section 10.08); (k) to Moody’s and S&P and other rating agencies in connection with the ratings contemplated by the Loan Documents; (l) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Revolving Loans and (m) with the consent of the Borrower.  In addition, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, and on a need to know and confidential basis, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In the case of confidential information received from Holdings or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information shall be clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  In the case of clauses (b) and (c), the disclosing party shall give notice of such disclosure to the Borrower (other than any disclosure in connection with routine bank examinations), to the extent not otherwise prohibited by any Requirement of Law.
 
Section 10.09       Set-off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower,
 
120

any such notice being waived by the Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured; provided that neither any Lender nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to exercise any such set off with respect to any trust, tax reserve, employee benefit or payroll account.  Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
 
Section 10.10       Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc.  Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to the Lender should be directed, of addresses of any Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
 
Section 10.11      Effectiveness; Counterparts.  (a)  This Agreement shall become effective upon (i) the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto, (ii) the receipt by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of written notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof and (iii) the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.
 
(a)         Electronic Signatures.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf.  or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement and any other document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent, provided that, the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to accept, and hereby consents to the use of, electronic signatures to this Agreement from all parties hereto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (in each
 
121

case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be followed by a manually executed counterpart thereof, if and when reasonably practicable.
 
Section 10.12     Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Revolving Loans or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
 
Section 10.13      Severability.  If any provision of any Loan Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent (but only to the extent) of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, (ii) the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Lenders in order to carry out the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible and (iii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any such provision in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
Section 10.14      Replacement of Defaulting Lenders and Non-Consenting Lenders.  If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
 
(a)          the Administrative Agent shall have received the assignment fee specified in Section 10.07(b) from the Borrower; and
 
(b)        such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Sections 2.06(c), 3.01, 3.03 and 3.04) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts).
 
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
 
122

No action by or consent of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price.  In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender or such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with this Section 10.14; provided that if such Defaulting Lender or such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with this Section 10.14 within one (1) Business Day after the Borrower’s request, compliance with this Section 10.14 shall not be required to effect such assignment.
 
Section 10.15       Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
 
(a)          This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
 
(b)       Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in New York County, and any relevant appellate court, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Each Credit Party that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States hereby appoints the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby accepts such appointment, as agent for service of process of each such Credit Party in any matter related to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that any Lender or the Administrative Agent may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against any Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
 
(c)        Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in clause (b) of this Section 10.15.  Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.
 
(d)        To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.02.  Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
 
Section 10.16      Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY
 
123

WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 10.16 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.  THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO OR OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
 
Section 10.17       PATRIOT Act Notice.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
 
Section 10.18      Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and any separate agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Bookrunners, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than the provisions of the Fee Letters and those provisions of the Commitment Letter which by the terms of the Commitment Letter remain in full force and effect after execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, on the Effective Date, all of the obligations of the Arrangers, Bookrunners and engagement parties under the Commitment Letter shall terminate and be superseded by the Loan Documents and the Arrangers, Bookrunners and engagement parties under the Commitment Letter shall be released from all liability in connection therewith, including any claim for injury or damages, whether consequential, special, direct, indirect, punitive or otherwise.
 
Section 10.19     Independence of Covenants.  All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
 
Section 10.20      Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders Right.  The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Revolving Commitment of any other Lender hereunder.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to
 
124

constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity.  The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
 
Section 10.21     No Fiduciary Duty.  The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates.  Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other.  The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.  Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.  Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
 
Section 10.22       Judgment Currency.
 
(a)         This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of a particular currency (the “Specified Currency”) and place of payment (the “Specified Place”) is of the essence, and the obligation of each Credit Party under this Agreement to make payment to or for account of a Guaranteed Party in the Specified Currency shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed or converted into any other currency or in another place except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by such Guaranteed Party in the Specified Place of the full amount of the Specified Currency payable to such Guaranteed Party under this Agreement.
 
(b)         If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase such Specified Currency at the principal office of the Administrative Agent in the Specified Place with the Judgment Currency on the
 
125

Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered.  The obligation of each Credit Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Party (the “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Judgment Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer of the Specified Currency to the Specified Place with the amount of the Judgment Currency so adjudged to be due; and each Credit Party hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.
 
Section 10.23       Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
 
(a)       the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
 
(b)          the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
 
(i)           a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
 
(ii)        a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
 
(iii)        the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
 
Section 10.24     Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Guaranteed Swap Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC
 
126

may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
 
(a)         In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
 
(b)          As used in this Section 10.24, the following terms have the following meanings:
 
BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
 
Covered Entity” means any of the following:
 
(i)           a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);
 
(ii)          a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or
 
(iii)        a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
 
Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
 
QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
