I. Summary of application

The following entities hereby request an order (the “Order”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under Section 57(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”),¹ and Rule 17d-1 thereunder, permitting certain joint transactions that otherwise may be prohibited by Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) and Rule 17d-1:

•

FS KKR Capital Corp. (“FSK”), and FS KKR Capital Corp. II (“FSKR”), each a closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the 1940 Act (collectively referred to as the “BDCs”);²

•

KKR Credit Opportunities Portfolio (“KCOP”), a closed-end management investment company;

•

KKR Income Opportunities Fund (“KIO”), a closed-end management investment company (together with the BDCs and KCOP, the “Existing Regulated Entities”);

•

FS/KKR Advisor, LLC (“FS/KKR Advisor”), the investment adviser to the BDCs, on behalf of itself and its successors;³

•

KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC (“KKR Credit”), the investment adviser to KCOP and KIO, on behalf of itself and its successors;

•

The investment advisory subsidiaries and relying advisers of KKR Credit set forth on Schedule A⁴ hereto (collectively, with KKR Credit and FS/KKR Advisor, the “Existing KKR Credit Advisers”);

•

KKR Capital Markets Holdings L.P. and its capital markets subsidiaries set forth on Schedule A, each of which is an indirect, wholly- or majority-owned subsidiary of KKR & Co. Inc. (“KKR”) (collectively, the “Existing KCM Companies”). The Existing KCM Companies may, from time to time, hold various financial assets in a principal capacity;

•

KKR Financial Holdings LLC (“KFN”),⁵ its wholly-owned subsidiaries set forth on Schedule A, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries that may be formed in the future (collectively, “KFN Subsidiaries”) and other indirect, wholly- or majority-owned subsidiaries of KKR set forth on Schedule A hereto that may, from time to time, hold various financial assets in a principal capacity (in such capacity, “Existing KKR Proprietary Accounts”);

•

Investment funds set forth on Schedule A hereto, each of which is an entity (i) whose investment adviser or sub-adviser is an Existing KKR Credit Adviser and (ii) that either (A) would be an investment company but for Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act or (B) relies on the Rule 3a-7 exemption from investment company status; provided that an entity sub-advised by an Existing KKR Credit Adviser is included in this term only if (i) such Existing KKR Credit Adviser serving as sub-adviser controls the entity and (ii) the primary adviser to such Affiliated Fund is not an Adviser (each, together with each such entity’s direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, an “Existing Affiliated Fund,”⁶ and collectively, the “Existing Affiliated Funds” and, together with the Existing Regulated Entities, Existing KKR Credit Advisers, Existing KCM Companies and Existing KKR Proprietary Accounts, the “Applicants”).

Unless otherwise indicated, all section and rule references herein are to the 1940 Act and rules promulgated thereunder.

Section 2(a)(48) defines a BDC to be any closed-end investment company that operates for the purpose of making investments in securities described in Sections 55(a)(1) through 55(a)(3) of the 1940 Act and makes available significant managerial assistance with respect to the issuers of such securities.

For purposes of the requested Order, a “successor” includes an entity or entities that result from a reorganization into another jurisdiction or a change in the type of business organization.

⁴

All of the Existing KKR Credit Advisers are subsidiaries of KKR Credit, other than KKR Credit Advisors (Ireland) Unlimited Company, which is not a subsidiary for tax reasons and will no longer be a relying adviser due to changes in the requirements for qualifying for umbrella registration, but operates along with the other Existing KKR Credit Advisers that collectively conduct a single advisory business, and as an Applicant acknowledges that it is subject to the Conditions (as defined below) of the Order. Once KKR Credit Advisors (Ireland) Unlimited Company is no longer a relying adviser, it will be a registered investment adviser.

⁵

KFN, a majority-owned subsidiary of KKR, is a specialty finance company that is externally advised by KKR Financial Advisors LLC, which is an Existing KKR Credit Adviser. KFN is a holding company that engages in its specialty finance business through various wholly-owned subsidiaries that rely on one or more exemptions or exceptions from the definition of an investment company. Thus, KFN itself does not come within the definition of an investment company in Section 3(a)(1) of the 1940 Act. KFN was acquired by KKR on April 30, 2014. For purposes of the requested Order, KFN and each KFN Subsidiary is included in the definition of “Existing KKR Proprietary Account.”

⁶

Certain Existing Affiliated Funds are collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) entities that rely on Rule 3a-7 under the 1940 Act in addition to Section 3(c)(7) thereof. These Existing Affiliated Funds are all advised by an Existing KKR Credit Adviser.

- 3 -

The Order would supersede an exemptive order issued by the Commission on June 19, 2017 and amended on April 3, 2018 (the “Prior Order”)⁷ that was granted pursuant to Sections 57(a)(4), 57(i) and Rule 17d-1, with the result that no person will continue to rely on the Prior Order if the Order is granted.

The relief requested in this application for the Order (the “Application”) would allow one or more Regulated Entities⁸ and/or one or more Affiliated Investors⁹ to participate in the same investment opportunities through a proposed co-investment program where such participation would otherwise be prohibited under Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) and the rules under the 1940 Act (the “Co-Investment Program”).

For purposes of this Application, a “Co-Investment Transaction” shall mean any transaction in which a Regulated Entity (or a Blocker Subsidiary, as defined below) participated together with one or more other Regulated Entities and/or one or more Affiliated Investors in reliance on the Order or the Prior Order and a “Potential Co-Investment Transaction” shall mean any investment opportunity in which a Regulated Entity (or a Blocker Subsidiary, as defined below) could not participate together with one or more other Regulated Entities and/or one or more Affiliated Investors without obtaining and relying on the Order.

The term “Adviser” means any KKR Credit Adviser; provided that a KKR Credit Adviser serving as a sub-adviser to an Affiliated Fund is included in this term only if (i) such KKR Credit Adviser controls the entity and (ii) the primary adviser to such Affiliated Fund is not an Adviser. The term Adviser does not include any other primary adviser to an Affiliated Fund or a Regulated Entity whose sub-adviser is an Adviser, except that such adviser is deemed to be an Adviser for purposes of Conditions 2(c)(iv), 14 and 15 only. Any primary adviser to an Affiliated Fund or a Regulated Entity whose sub-adviser is an Adviser will not source any Potential Co-Investment Transactions under the requested Order.

Any of the Regulated Entities may, from time to time, form a special purpose subsidiary (a “Blocker Subsidiary”) (a) whose sole business purpose is to hold one or more investments on behalf of a Regulated Entity; (b) that is wholly-owned by the Regulated Entity (with the Regulated Entity at all times holding, beneficially and of record, 100% of the voting and economic interests); (c) with respect to which the Regulated Entity’s Board¹⁰has the sole authority to make all determinations with respect to the Blocker Subsidiary’s participation under the conditions to this Application; (d) that does not pay a separate advisory fee, including any performance-based fee, to any person; and (e) that is an entity that would be an investment company but for Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act. A Blocker Subsidiary would be prohibited from investing in a Co-Investment Transaction with any other Regulated Entity or Affiliated Investor because it would be a company controlled by the Regulated Entity for purposes of Section 57(a)(4) and rule 17d-1. Applicants request that a Blocker Subsidiary be permitted to participate in Co-Investment Transactions in lieu of its parent Regulated Entity and that the Blocker Subsidiary’s participation in any such transaction be treated, for purposes of the Order, as though the parent Regulated Entity were participating directly. Applicants represent that this treatment is justified because a Blocker Subsidiary would have no purpose other than serving as a holding vehicle for the Regulated Entity’s investments and, therefore, no conflicts of interest could arise between the Regulated Entity and the Blocker Subsidiary. The Regulated Entity’s Board would make all relevant determinations under the conditions with regard to a Blocker Subsidiary’s participation in a Co-Investment Transaction, and the Regulated Entity’s Board would be informed of, and take into consideration, any proposed use of a Blocker Subsidiary in the Regulated Entity’s place. If the Regulated Entity proposes to participate in the same Co-Investment Transaction with any of its Blocker Subsidiaries, the Regulated Entity’s Board will also be informed of, and take into consideration, the relative participation of the Regulated Entity and the Blocker Subsidiary.

⁸

“Regulated Entities” means the Existing Regulated Entities and any Future Regulated Entity. “Future Regulated Entity” means a closed-end management investment company (a) that is registered under the 1940 Act or has elected to be regulated as a BDC and (b) whose investment adviser or sub-adviser is a KKR Credit Adviser that is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). “KKR Credit Adviser” means any Existing KKR Credit Adviser or any investment adviser that (i) is controlled by, or a relying adviser of, KKR Credit, (ii) is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act, and (iii) is not a Regulated Entity or a subsidiary of a Regulated Entity.

⁹

“Affiliated Investor” means any Affiliated Fund or any Proprietary Affiliate. “Affiliated Fund” means (a) any Existing Affiliated Fund or (b) any entity (i) whose investment adviser or sub-adviser is a KKR Credit Adviser and (ii) that either (A) would be an investment company but for Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act or (B) relies on the Rule 3a-7 exemption from investment company status; provided that an entity sub-advised by a KKR Credit Adviser is included in this term only if (i) such KKR Credit Adviser serving as sub-adviser controls the entity and (ii) the primary adviser such Affiliated Fund is not an Adviser. “Proprietary Affiliate” means any KCM Company or any KKR Proprietary Account. “KCM Company” means (a) any Existing KCM Company or (b) any entity that (i) is an indirect, wholly- or majority-owned subsidiary of KKR and (ii) is registered or authorized as a broker-dealer or its foreign equivalent. “KKR Proprietary Account” means (a) any Existing KKR Proprietary Account or (b) any entity that (i) is an indirect, wholly- or majority- owned subsidiary of KKR, (ii) is advised by a KKR Credit Adviser and (iii) from time to time, may hold various financial assets in a principal capacity, as described in greater detail herein.

¹⁰

The term “Board” refers to the board of directors or trustees of any Regulated Entity.

- 4 -

Applicants do not seek relief for transactions that would be permitted under other regulatory or interpretive guidance, including, for example, transactions effected consistent with Commission staff no-action positions.¹¹

All existing entities that currently intend to rely on the Order have been named as Applicants and any existing or future entities that may rely on the Order in the future will comply with the terms and conditions of the Application.

II. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANTS

A. The BDCs

Each BDC was organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland for the purpose of operating as an externally-managed, non-diversified, BDC.

Each BDC’s investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. Each BDC intends for its portfolio to be comprised primarily of investments in senior secured loans, second lien loans and subordinated loans, which are generally referred to as mezzanine loans, of private, U.S., small and middle market companies. In connection with each BDC’s debt investments, it may receive equity interests such as warrants or options as additional consideration. Each BDC may also purchase minority interests in the form of common or preferred equity in its target companies, either in conjunction with one of its debt investments or through a co-investment with a financial sponsor.

Each BDC has a Board that is comprised of a majority of Independent Directors.¹²

D. FS/KKR Advisor

FS/KKR Advisor serves as the investment adviser to each BDC. FS/KKR Advisor is controlled by KKR Credit. FS/KKR Advisor was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on January 8, 2018 and is registered as an investment adviser with the Commission under the Advisers Act.

E. KKR Entities

KKR Credit, a subsidiary of KKR, serves as the investment adviser to KCOP and KIO. KKR Credit is a Delaware limited liability company that has been continuously registered as an investment adviser with the Commission since 2008. Each Regulated Entity will be advised or sub-advised by KKR Credit or another KKR Credit Adviser that is a registered investment adviser.

III. RELIEF FOR PROPOSED CO-INVESTMENTS

A. Co-Investment in Portfolio Companies by Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors

1. Mechanics of the Co-Investment Program

As previously described, FS/KKR Advisor serves as the investment adviser and administrator to the BDCs. Consistent with its fiduciary duties, FS/KKR Advisor is responsible for the overall management of the activities of each of the BDCs. KKR Credit serves as KCOP and KIO’s investment adviser and is responsible for the overall management of KCOP and KIO, including its investment portfolios, consistent with its fiduciary duties.

It is anticipated that a KKR Credit Adviser will periodically determine that certain investments recommended for a Regulated Entity by the KKR Credit Adviser would also be appropriate investments for one or more other Regulated Entities and one or more Affiliated Investors. Such a determination may result in a Regulated Entity, one or more other Regulated Entities and/or one or more Affiliated Investors co-investing in certain investment opportunities.

Opportunities for Potential Co-Investment Transactions may arise when advisory personnel of a KKR Credit Adviser become aware of investment opportunities that may be appropriate for a Regulated Entity, one or more other Regulated Entities and/or one or more Affiliated Investors. Any adviser to an Affiliated Fund whose sub-adviser is an Adviser will not source any Potential Co-Investment Transactions under the requested Order. Following issuance of the requested Order, in such cases, the Adviser to a Regulated Entity will be notified of such Potential Co-Investment Transactions, and such investment opportunities may result in Co-Investment Transactions. For each such investment opportunity, the Adviser to a Regulated Entity will independently analyze and evaluate the investment opportunity as to its appropriateness for each Regulated Entity for which it serves as investment adviser taking into consideration the Regulated Entity’s Objectives and Strategies¹³ and any Board-Established Criteria.¹⁴ If the Adviser to the Regulated Entity determines that the opportunity is appropriate for one or more Regulated Entities (and the applicable Adviser approves the investment for each Regulated Entity for which it serves as adviser), and one or more other Regulated Entities and/or one or more Affiliated Investors may also participate, the Adviser to a Regulated Entity will present the investment opportunity to the Eligible Directors¹⁵of the Regulated Entity prior to the actual investment by the Regulated Entity. As to any Regulated Entity, a Co-Investment Transaction will be consummated only upon approval by a required majority of the Eligible Directors within the meaning of Section 57(o) of such Regulated Entity (“Required Majority”).¹⁶

¹³	“*Objectives and Strategies” means a Regulated Entity’s investment objectives and strategies, as described in the Regulated Entity’s registration statement on Form N-2, other filings the Regulated Entity has made with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act*”), and the Regulated Entity’s reports to shareholders.

¹⁴	“Board-Established Criteria” means criteria that the Board of a Regulated Entity may establish from time to time to describe the characteristics of Potential Co-Investment Transactions regarding which each Adviser to the Regulated Entity should be notified under condition 1. The Board-Established Criteria will be consistent with a Regulated Entity’s Objectives and Strategies. If no Board-Established Criteria are in effect, then each Adviser to a Regulated Entity will be notified of all Potential Co-Investment Transactions that fall within the Regulated Entity’s then-current Objectives and Strategies. Board-Established Criteria will be objective and testable, meaning that they will be based on observable information, such as industry/sector of the issuer, minimum EBITDA of the issuer, asset class of the investment opportunity or required commitment size, and not on characteristics that involve a discretionary assessment. Each Adviser to a Regulated Entity may from time to time recommend criteria for the Board’s consideration, but Board-Established Criteria will only become effective if approved by a majority of the Independent Directors. The Independent Directors of a Regulated Entity may at any time rescind, suspend or qualify its approval of any Board-Established Criteria, though Applicants anticipate that, under normal circumstances, the Board would not modify these criteria more often than quarterly.

	¹⁵	The term “*Eligible Directors*” means the directors or trustees who are eligible to vote under section 57(o) of the 1940 Act.

	¹⁶	In the case of a Regulated Entity that is a registered closed-end fund, the directors or trustees that make up the Required Majority will be determined as if the Regulated Entity were a BDC subject to Section 57(o).

- 6 -

Each Adviser, acting through an investment committee, will carry out its obligation under condition 1 to make a determination as to the appropriateness of the Potential Co-Investment Transaction for any Regulated Entity. In the case of a Potential Co-Investment Transaction, the applicable Adviser would apply its allocation policies and procedures in determining the proposed allocation for the Regulated Entity consistent with the requirements of condition 2(a). We note that each Adviser, as a registered investment adviser with respect to the Regulated Entities and as a registered investment adviser or a relying adviser with respect to the Affiliated Funds, has developed a robust allocation process as part of its overall compliance policies and procedures. The allocation policy for KKR Credit and all of the Advisers is designed to allocate investment opportunities fairly and equitably among its clients over time. While each client of an Adviser may not participate in each investment opportunity because, for example, the client’s allocation would be less than its minimum investment size, over time each client of the Adviser would participate in investment opportunities fairly and equitably. We note that each Adviser shares the allocation policies and procedures of KKR Credit that take into account the allocation policies and procedures for the Regulated Entities. These procedures are in addition to, and not instead of, the procedures required under the conditions, and will not deprive a Regulated Entity of an opportunity to participate in a Potential Co-Investment Transaction.

We acknowledge that some of the Affiliated Investors may not be funds advised by an Adviser because they are KKR Proprietary Accounts or KCM Companies. KKR Proprietary Accounts are balance sheet entities advised by an Adviser pursuant to an investment management agreement that hold financial assets in a principal capacity. KCM Companies are regulated broker-dealers that may hold financial assets in a principal capacity. We do not believe that the participation of Proprietary Affiliates in the Co-Investment Program would raise any regulatory or mechanical concerns different from those discussed with respect to the Affiliated Investors that are clients.

The Advisers have implemented a robust allocation process to ensure that each Regulated Entity is treated fairly in respect of the allocation of Potential Co-Investment Transactions. The initial amount proposed by an Adviser to be allocated to each applicable Regulated Entity is documented in a written allocation statement. If the amount proposed to be allocated to a Regulated Entity changes from the time the final written (on paper or electronically) allocation statement is prepared and the date of settlement of the transaction, the updated allocation statement will also be recorded (on paper or electronically) and reviewed by a member of the Regulated Entity’s compliance team. Each Regulated Entity’s Board will be provided with all relevant information regarding the Adviser’s proposed allocations to such Regulated Entity and Affiliated Investors, including Proprietary Affiliates, as contemplated by the conditions hereof. With respect to Affiliated Investors that are relying on the Order, each Adviser is subject to the same robust allocation process. As a result, all Potential Co-Investment Transactions that are presented to an Adviser would also be presented to every other Adviser which, as required by condition 1, would make an independent determination of the appropriateness of the investment for the Regulated Entities. This is true because KKR Credit’s business is operated as a single integrated business platform and the various investment committees responsible for liquid credit, originated credit, special situations and any other credit strategies report to the same management team. In addition, written records of the decisions of the investment committee are maintained by KKR Credit. Therefore, we believe these allocation policies and procedures will ensure the Applicants’ ability to comply with the conditions with respect to Affiliated Investors.

To allow for an independent review of co-investment activities, the Board of each Regulated Entity will receive, on a quarterly basis, a record of all investments made by Affiliated Investors during the preceding quarter that: (1) were consistent with such Regulated Entity’s then current Objectives and Strategies and Board-Established Criteria, but (2) were not made available to such Regulated Entity. This record will include an explanation of why such investment opportunities were not offered to the Regulated Entity. Each Adviser’s allocation process is capable of tracking all of the information required by condition 4, which will be presented to the applicable Regulated Entity’s Board on a regular basis.

- 7 -

Delayed Settlement

All Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors participating in a Co-Investment Transaction will invest at the same time, for the same price and with the same terms, conditions, class, registration rights and any other rights, so that none of them receives terms more favorable than any other. However, the settlement date for an Affiliated Fund in a Co-Investment Transaction may occur up to ten business days after the settlement date for a Regulated Entity, and vice versa, for one of two reasons. First, this may occur when the Affiliated Fund or Regulated Entity is not yet fully funded because, when the Affiliated Fund or Regulated Entity desires to make an investment, it must call capital from its investors to obtain the financing to make the investment, and in these instances, the notice requirement to call capital could be as much as ten business days. Accordingly, if a fund has called committed capital from its investors but the investors have not yet funded the capital calls, it may need to delay settlement during the notice period. Second, delayed settlement may also occur where, for tax or regulatory reasons, an Affiliated Fund or Regulated Entity does not purchase new issuances immediately upon issuance but only after a short seasoning period of up to ten business days. Nevertheless, in all cases, (i) the date on which the commitment of the Affiliated Funds and Regulated Entities is made will be the same even where the settlement date is not and (ii) the earliest settlement date and the latest settlement date of any Affiliated Fund or Regulated Entity participating in the transaction will occur within ten business days of each other.

Applicants believe that an earlier or later settlement date does not create any additional risk for the Regulated Entities. As described above, the date of commitment will be the same and all other terms, including price, will be the same. Further, the investments by the Regulated Entities and the Affiliated Funds will be independent from each other, and a Regulated Entity would never take on the risk of holding more of a given security than it would prefer to hold in the event that an Affiliated Fund or another Regulated Entity did not settle as expected.

Permitted Follow-On Investments and Approval of Follow-On Investments

From time to time, the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors may have opportunities to make Follow-On Investments¹⁷ in an issuer in which a Regulated Entity, one or more other Regulated Entities and/or one or more Affiliated Investors previously have invested and continue to hold an investment. If the Order is granted, Follow-On Investments will be made in a manner that, over time, is fair and equitable to all of the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors and in accordance with the proposed procedures discussed above and with the Conditions of the Order.

The Order would divide Follow-On Investments into two categories depending on whether the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Funds (and potentially Proprietary Affiliates) holding investments in the issuer previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer and continue to hold any securities acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction for that issuer. If such Regulated Entities and Affiliated Funds (and potentially Proprietary Affiliates) have previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer, then the terms and approval of the Follow-On Investment would be subject to the process discussed in Section III.A.3.a. below and governed by Condition 9. These Follow-On Investments are referred to as “Standard Review Follow-Ons.” If such Regulated Entities and Affiliated Funds have not previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer, then the terms and approval of the Follow-On Investment would be subject to the “onboarding process” discussed in Section III.A.3.b. below and governed by Condition 10. These Follow-On Investments are referred to as “Enhanced Review Follow-Ons.”

¹⁷	“*Follow-On Investment*” means any additional investment in an existing portfolio company, the exercise of warrants, conversion privileges or other similar rights to acquire additional securities of the portfolio company.

Standard Review Follow-Ons

A Regulated Entity may invest in Standard Review Follow-Ons either with the approval of the Required Majority using the procedures required under Condition 9(c) or, where certain additional requirements are met, without Board approval under Condition 9(b).

A Regulated Entity may participate in a Standard Review Follow-On without obtaining the prior approval of the Required Majority if it is (i) a Pro Rata Follow-On Investment or (ii) a Non-Negotiated Follow-On Investment.

A “Pro Rata Follow-On Investment” is a Follow-On Investment (i) in which the participation of each Regulated Entity and each Affiliated Investor is proportionate to its outstanding investments in the issuer or security, as appropriate,¹⁸ immediately preceding the Follow-On Investment, and (ii) in the case of a Regulated Entity, a majority of the Board has approved the Regulated Entity’s participation in the pro rata Follow-On Investments as being in the best interests of the Regulated Entity. The Regulated Entity’s Board may refuse to approve, or at any time rescind, suspend or qualify, its approval of Pro Rata Follow-On Investments, in which case all subsequent Follow-On Investments will be submitted to the Regulated Entity’s Eligible Directors in accordance with Condition 9(c).

A “Non-Negotiated Follow-On Investment” is a Follow-On Investment in which a Regulated Entity participates together with one or more Affiliated Investors and/or one or more other Regulated Entities (i) in which the only term negotiated by or on behalf of the funds is price and (ii) with respect to which, if the transaction were considered on its own, the funds would be entitled to rely on one of the JT No-Action Letters.

Applicants believe that these Pro Rata Follow-On Investments and Non-Negotiated Follow-On Investments do not present a significant opportunity for overreaching on the part of any Adviser and thus do not warrant the time or the attention of the Board. Pro Rata Follow-On Investments and Non-Negotiated Follow-On Investments remain subject to the Board’s periodic review in accordance with Condition 11.

Enhanced Review Follow-Ons

One or more Regulated Entities and one or more Affiliated Investors holding Pre-Boarding Investments¹⁹may have the opportunity to make a Follow-On Investment that is a Potential Co-Investment Transaction in an issuer with respect to which they have not previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction. In these cases, the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors may rely on the Order to make such Follow-On Investment subject to the requirements of Condition 10. These enhanced review requirements constitute an “onboarding process” whereby Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors may utilize the Order to participate in Co-Investment Transactions even though they already hold Pre-Boarding Investments. For a given issuer, the participating Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors need to comply with these requirements only for the first Co-Investment Transaction. Subsequent Co-Investment Transactions with respect to the issuer will be governed by Condition 9 under the standard review process.

¹⁸	See note 34, below.

¹⁹	“*Pre-Boarding Investments*” are investments in an issuer held by a Regulated Entity as well as one or more Affiliated Funds, one or more Proprietary Affiliates and/or one or more other Regulated Entities that were acquired prior to participating in any Co-Investment Transaction: (i) in transactions in which the only term negotiated by or on behalf of such funds was price in reliance on one of the JT No-Action Letters; or (ii) in transactions occurring at least 90 days apart and without coordination between the Regulated Entity and any Affiliated Fund or other Regulated Entity.

- 9 -

Dispositions

The Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors may be presented from time to time with opportunities to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of securities in transactions that could be prohibited by Rule 17d-1 or Section 57(a)(4), as applicable. If the Order is granted, such Dispositions²⁰ will be made in a manner that, over time, is fair and equitable to all of the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors and in accordance with procedures set forth in the proposed Conditions to the Order, as discussed below.

The Order would divide these Dispositions into two categories: (i) if the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Funds (and potentially Proprietary Affiliates) holding investments in the issuer have previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer and continue to hold any securities acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction for such issuer, then the terms and approval of the Disposition (hereinafter referred to as “Standard Review Dispositions”) would be subject to the process discussed in Section III.A.4.a. below and governed by Condition 7; and (ii) if the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Funds have not previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer, then the terms and approval of the Disposition (hereinafter referred to as “Enhanced Review Dispositions”) would be subject to the same “onboarding process” discussed in Section III.A.3.b. above and governed by Condition 8.

Standard Review Dispositions

A Regulated Entity may participate in a Standard Review Disposition either with the approval of the Required Majority using the standard procedures required under Condition 7(c) or, where certain additional requirements are met, without Board approval under Condition 7(c).

A Regulated Entity may participate in a Standard Review Disposition without obtaining the prior approval of the Required Majority if (i) the Disposition is a Pro Rata Disposition or (ii) the securities are Tradable Securities and the Disposition meets the other requirements of Condition 7(c)(ii).

A “Pro Rata Disposition” is a Disposition (i) in which the participation of each Regulated Entity and each Affiliated Investor is proportionate to its outstanding investment in the security subject to Disposition immediately preceding the Disposition;²¹ and (ii) in the case of a Regulated Entity, a majority of the Board has approved the Regulated Entity’s participation in pro rata Dispositions as being in the best interests of the Regulated Entity. The Regulated Entity’s Board may refuse to approve, or at any time rescind, suspend or qualify, their approval of Pro Rata Dispositions, in which case all subsequent Dispositions will be submitted to the Regulated Entity’s Eligible Directors.

²⁰“Dispositions” means the sale, exchange or other disposition of an interest in a security of an issuer.

²¹See note 32, below.

- 10 -

In the case of a Tradable Security,²² approval of the required majority is not required for the Disposition if: (x) the Disposition is not to the issuer or any affiliated person of the issuer;²³ and (y) the security is sold for cash in a transaction in which the only term negotiated by or on behalf of the participating Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors is price. Pro Rata Dispositions and Dispositions of a Tradable Security remain subject to the Board’s periodic review in accordance with Condition 11.

b. Enhanced Review Dispositions

One or more Regulated Entities and/or one or more Affiliated Investors that have not previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to an issuer may have the opportunity to make a Disposition of Pre-Boarding Investments in a Potential Co-Investment Transaction. In these cases, the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors may rely on the Order to make such Disposition subject to the requirements of Condition 8. As discussed above, with respect to investment in a given issuer, the participating Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors need only complete the onboarding process for the first Co-Investment Transaction, which may be an Enhanced Review Follow-On or an Enhanced Review Disposition.²⁴ Subsequent Co-Investment Transactions with respect to the issuer will be governed by Condition 7 or 9 under the standard review process.

²²

“Tradable Security” means a security that meets the following criteria at the time of Disposition: (i) it trades on a national securities exchange or designated offshore securities market as defined in rule 902(b) under the Securities Act; (ii) it is not subject to restrictive agreements with the issuer or other security holders; and (iii) it trades with sufficient volume and liquidity (findings as to which are documented by the Advisers to any Regulated Entities holding investments in the issuer and retained for the life of the Regulated Entity) to allow each Regulated Entity to dispose of its entire position remaining after the proposed Disposition within a short period of time not exceeding 30 days at approximately the value (as defined by Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act) at which the Regulated Entity has valued the investment.

²³

In the case of a Tradable Security, Dispositions to the issuer or an affiliated person of the issuer are not permitted so that funds participating in the Disposition do not benefit to the detriment of Regulated Entities that remain invested in the issuer. For example, if a Disposition of a Tradable Security were permitted to be made to the issuer, the issuer may be reducing its short term assets (i.e., cash) to pay down long term liabilities.

²⁴

However, with respect to an issuer, if a Regulated Entity’s first Co-Investment Transaction is an Enhanced Review Disposition, and the Regulated Entity does not dispose of its entire position in the Enhanced Review Disposition, then before such Regulated Entity may complete its first Standard Review Follow-On in such issuer, the Eligible Directors must review the proposed Follow-On Investment not only on a stand-alone basis but also in relation to the total economic exposure in such issuer (i.e., in combination with the portion of the Pre-Boarding Investment not disposed of in the Enhanced Review Disposition), and the other terms of the investments. This additional review is required because such findings were not required in connection with the prior Enhanced Review Disposition, but they would have been required had the first Co-Investment Transaction been an Enhanced Review Follow-On.

- 11 -

5. Reasons for Co-Investing

It is expected that co-investment in portfolio companies by a Regulated Entity, one or more other Regulated Entities and/or one or more Affiliated Investors will increase favorable investment opportunities for each Regulated Entity. FS/KKR Advisor, KKR Credit and the Boards of each Existing Regulated Entity believe that the Existing Regulated Entities and their shareholders have in fact benefited from the ability to participate in Co-Investment Transactions, in reliance on the Prior Order, by being able to participate in a larger number and greater variety of transactions. As a result of its ability to participate in Co-Investment Transactions, each Existing Regulated Entity has been able to have greater bargaining power and more control over the investment when participating in an investment opportunity and had less need to bring in other external investors or structure investments to satisfy the different needs of external investors. Each Existing Regulated Entity has also been able to obtain better pricing on its investments by co-investing in investments originated by KKR compared to other opportunities, including secondary market transactions. In addition, by participating in transactions originated by KKR, each BDC has been able to take the greatest advantages of KKR’s rigorous due diligence process, honed from decades of private equity control transactions, which KKR applies to all of its investments. Each Existing Regulated Entity believes that having KKR’s processes in place with respect to originated investments helps them protect the downside risk for credit investments. The Advisers and the Board of each Regulated Entity believe that it will be advantageous for a Regulated Entity to co-invest with one or more other Regulated Entities and/or one or more Affiliated Investors and that such investments would be consistent with the Regulated Entity’s Objectives and Strategies and Board-Established Criteria.

The Co-Investment Program will be effected for a Regulated Entity only if it is approved by the Required Majority of such Regulated Entity on the basis that it would be advantageous for such Regulated Entity to have the additional capital from other Regulated Entities and/or the Affiliated Investors available to meet the funding requirements of attractive investments in portfolio companies. A BDC or closed-end fund that makes investments of the type contemplated by a Regulated Entity typically limits its participation in any one transaction to a specific dollar amount, which may be determined by legal or internally imposed prudential limits on exposure in a single investment. In addition, the Code imposes diversification requirements on companies, such as Regulated Entities that seek certain favorable tax treatment under Subchapter M of the Code. Consequently, in some circumstances, such a Regulated Entity might not be able to commit to the entire amount of financing sought by an issuer. In such cases, the issuer is likely to reject an offer of funding from the Regulated Entity due to the Regulated Entity’s inability to commit the full amount of financing required.

In view of the foregoing, in cases where the Advisers identify investment opportunities requiring larger capital commitments, they must seek the participation of other entities with similar investment styles. The ability to participate in Co-Investment Transactions that involve committing larger amounts of financing would enable a Regulated Entity to participate in larger financing commitments, which would, in turn, be expected to increase income, expand investment opportunities and provide better access to due diligence information for the Regulated Entity. Indeed, a Regulated Entity’s inability to co-invest with one or more other Regulated Entities and/or one or more Affiliated Investors could potentially result in the loss of beneficial investment opportunities for the Regulated Entity and, in turn, adversely affect the Regulated Entity’s shareholders. For example, a Regulated Entity may lose some investment opportunities if the Advisers cannot provide “one-stop” financing to a potential portfolio company. Portfolio companies may reject an offer of funding arranged by the Advisers due to a Regulated Entity’s inability to commit the full amount of financing required by the portfolio company in a timely manner (i.e., without the delay that typically would be associated with obtaining single-transaction exemptive relief from the Commission). By reducing the number of occasions on which each Regulated Entity’s individual or aggregate investment limits require the Advisers to arrange a syndicated financing with unaffiliated entities, a Regulated Entity will likely be required to forego fewer suitable investment opportunities. With the assets of other Regulated Entities and the Affiliated Investors available for co-investment, there should be an increase in the number of opportunities accessible to the Regulated Entity.

- 12 -

Allowing for the types of transactions described in this Application will generate greater deal flow, broaden the market relationships of the Regulated Entity and allow the Regulated Entity to be more selective in choosing its investments so that the Regulated Entity can pursue the most attractive risk-adjusted investments and optimize its portfolio. Enhanced selectivity and more favorable deal terms, pricing and structure would also likely lead to closer relationships between the Regulated Entity and its portfolio companies, all of which should create enhanced value for the Regulated Entity and its shareholders.

The Advisers and the Board of each Regulated Entity also believe that co-investment by a Regulated Entity, one or more other Regulated Entities and/or the Affiliated Investors will afford the Regulated Entity the ability to achieve greater diversification and, together with the other Regulated Entities and the Affiliated Investors, the opportunity to exercise greater influence on the portfolio companies in which the Regulated Entities and the Affiliated Investors co-invest.

B. Applicable Law

1. Sections 17(d), 57(a)(4) and 57(i) of the 1940 Act, and Rule 17d-1 thereunder

Section 17(d) of the 1940 Act generally prohibits an affiliated person (as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act), or an affiliated person of such affiliated person, of a registered closed-end investment company acting as principal, from effecting any transaction in which the registered closed-end investment company is a joint or a joint and several participant, in contravention of such rules as the Commission may prescribe for the purpose of limiting or preventing participation by the registered closed-end investment company on a basis different from or less advantageous than that of such other participant. Rule 17d-1 under the 1940 Act generally prohibits participation by a registered investment company and an affiliated person (as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act) or principal underwriter for that investment company, or an affiliated person of such affiliated person or principal underwriter, in any “joint enterprise or other joint arrangement or profit-sharing plan,” as defined in the rule, without prior approval by the Commission by order upon application.

Similarly, with regard to BDCs, Section 57(a)(4) makes it unlawful for any person who is related to a BDC in a manner described in Section 57(b), acting as principal, knowingly to effect any transaction in which the BDC (or a company controlled by such BDC) is a joint or a joint and several participant with that person in contravention of rules and regulations as the Commission may prescribe for the purpose of limiting or preventing participation by the BDC (or a controlled company) on a basis less advantageous than that of the other participant. Because the Commission has not adopted any rules expressly under Section 57(a)(4), Section 57(i) provides that the rules under Section 17(d) applicable to registered closed-end investment companies (e.g., Rule 17d-1) are, in the interim, deemed to apply to transactions subject to Section 57(a).²⁵Rule 17d-1, as made applicable to BDCs by Section 57(i), prohibits any person who is related to a BDC in a manner described in Section 57(b), as modified by Rule 57b-1, from acting as principal, from participating in, or effecting any transaction in connection with, any joint enterprise or other joint arrangement or profit-sharing plan in which the BDC (or a company controlled by such BDC) is a participant, unless an application regarding the joint enterprise, arrangement, or profit-sharing plan has been filed with the Commission and has been granted by an order entered prior to the submission of the plan or any modification thereof, to security holders for approval, or prior to its adoption or modification if not so submitted. In considering whether to grant an application under Rule 17d-1, the Commission will consider whether the participation by the BDC (or controlled company) in such joint transaction is consistent with the provisions, policies, and purposes of the 1940 Act and the extent to which such participation is on a basis different from or less advantageous than that of other participants.

- 13 -

2. Section 57(b) of the 1940 Act and Rule 57b-1 thereunder

Section 57(b), as modified by Rule 57b-1, specifies the persons to whom the prohibitions of Section 57(a)(4) apply. These persons include the following: (1) any director, officer, employee, or member of an advisory board of a BDC or any person (other than the BDC itself) who is, within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3)(C), an affiliated person of any such person; or (2) any investment adviser or promoter of, general partner in, principal underwriter for, or person directly or indirectly either controlling, controlled by, or under common control with a BDC (except the BDC itself and any person who, if it were not directly or indirectly controlled by the BDC, would not be directly or indirectly under the control of a person who controls the BDC), or any person who is, within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3)(C) or (D), an affiliated person of such person.

Rule 57b-1 under the 1940 Act exempts certain persons otherwise related to a BDC in a manner described in Section 57(b)(2) of the 1940 Act from being subject to the prohibitions of Section 57(a). Specifically, this rule states that the provisions of Section 57(a) shall not apply to any person: (a) solely because that person is directly or indirectly controlled by a BDC, or (b) solely because that person is directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with a person described in (a) of the rule or is an officer, director, partner, copartner, or employee of a person described in (a) of the rule.

Section 2(a)(9) defines “control” as the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company. The 1940 Act also provides that there shall be a presumption that any person who owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, more than 25 percent of the voting securities of a company shall be presumed to control such company; any person who does not so own more than 25 percent of the voting securities of a company shall be presumed not to control such company; and a natural person shall be presumed not to be a controlled person.

²⁵See Section 57(i) of the 1940 Act.

- 14 -

Sections 2(a)(3)(C) and (D) define an “affiliated person” of another person as: (C) any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, such other person; (D) any officer, director, partner, copartner, or employee of such other person.

C. Need For Relief

Co-Investment Transactions would be prohibited by Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) and Rule 17d-1 without a prior exemptive order of the Commission to the extent that the Affiliated Investors and the other Regulated Entities fall within the categories of persons described by Section 17(d) and Section 57(b), as modified by Rule 57b-1 thereunder, vis-à-vis each Regulated Entity. Each Regulated Entity may be deemed to be affiliated persons of each other Regulated Entity within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) if it is deemed to be under common control because a KKR Credit Adviser is or will be either the investment adviser or sub-adviser to each Regulated Entity. Section 17(d) and Section 57(b) apply to any investment adviser to a closed-end fund or a BDC, respectively, including the sub-adviser. Thus, a KKR Credit Adviser and any Affiliated Investors that it advises could be deemed to be persons related to Regulated Entities in a manner described by Sections 17(d) and 57(b) and therefore prohibited by Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) and Rule 17d-1 from participating in the Co-Investment Program. In addition, because all of the KKR Credit Advisers are “affiliated persons” of each other, Affiliated Investors advised by any of them could be deemed to be persons related to Regulated Entities (or a company controlled by a Regulated Entity) in a manner described by Sections 17(d) and 57(b) and also prohibited from participating in the Co-Investment Program. Finally, because Proprietary Affiliates are under common control with each KKR Credit Adviser and, therefore, are “affiliated persons” of each KKR Credit Adviser, Proprietary Affiliates could be deemed to be persons related to Regulated Entities (or a company controlled by a Regulated Entity) in a manner described by Sections 17(d) and 57(b) and also prohibited from participating in the Co-Investment Program.

D. Requested Relief

Accordingly, Applicants respectfully request an Order of the Commission pursuant to Sections 17(d) and 57(i) and Rule 17d-1, to permit a Regulated Entity, one or more other Regulated Entities and/or one or more Affiliated Investors to participate in the Co-Investment Program.

E. Precedents

The Commission has granted co-investment relief on numerous occasions in recent years including, in the case of the Prior Order, precedents involving a sub-adviser.²⁶ Applicants submit that the procedures set forth as conditions for the relief requested herein are consistent with the range of investor protection found in the cited orders.

F. Applicants’ Legal Arguments

Rule 17d-1 was promulgated for registered closed-end funds by the Commission pursuant to Section 17(d) and made applicable to BDCs pursuant to Section 57(i). Paragraph (a) of Rule 17d-1 permits an otherwise prohibited person, acting as principal, to participate in, or effect a transaction in connection with, a joint enterprise or other joint arrangement or profit-sharing plan in which a registered closed-end fund or a BDC is a participant if an application regarding the joint enterprise, arrangement, or profit-sharing plan has been filed with the Commission and has been granted by an order issued prior to the submission of such plan or any modification thereof to security holders for approval, or prior to its adoption or modification if not so submitted. Paragraph (b) of Rule 17d-1 states that in passing upon applications under that rule, the Commission will consider whether the participation by the investment company in such joint enterprise, joint arrangement, or profit-sharing plan on the basis proposed is consistent with the provisions, policies and purposes of the 1940 Act and the extent to which such participation is on a basis different from or less advantageous than that of other participants.

Applicants submit that the fact that the Required Majority will approve each Co-Investment Transaction before investment (except for certain Dispositions or Follow-On Investments, as described in the conditions), and other protective conditions set forth in this Application, will ensure that a Regulated Entity will be treated fairly. The conditions to which the requested relief will be subject are designed to ensure that principals of the Advisers would not be able to favor the Affiliated Investors over a Regulated Entity through the allocation of investment opportunities among them. Because almost every attractive investment opportunity for a Regulated Entity will also be an attractive investment opportunity for the Affiliated Investors, Applicants submit that the Co-Investment Program presents an attractive alternative to the institution of some form of equitable allocation protocol for the allocation of 100% of individual investment opportunities to either the Regulated Entity or the Affiliated Investors as opportunities arise. For each Potential Co-Investment Transaction, a Regulated Entity, one or more other Regulated Entities and/or one or more Affiliated Investors will be offered the opportunity to participate in the Potential Co-Investment Transactions on the same terms and conditions and, if the aggregate amount recommended by the KKR Credit Adviser to be invested by the Regulated Entities and all participating Affiliated Investors exceeds the amount of the investment opportunity, the investment opportunity will be allocated among them pro rata based on the ratio of each Regulated Entity’s Available Capital²⁷ for investment in the asset class being allocated and the Affiliated Investors’ Available Capital for investment in the asset class being allocated to the aggregated capital available for investment for the asset class being allocated of all parties involved in the investment opportunity, up to the amount proposed to be invested by each. Each Regulated Entity would have the ability to engage in Follow-On Investments in a fair manner consistent with the protections of the other conditions. Each Regulated Entity would have the ability to participate on a proportionate basis, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions in any sale of a security purchased in a Co-Investment Transaction. Further, the terms and conditions proposed herein will ensure that all such transactions are reasonable and fair to each Regulated Entity and the Affiliated Investors and do not involve overreaching by any person concerned, including a KKR Credit Adviser. Applicants submit that each Regulated Entity’s participation in the Co-Investment Transactions will be consistent with the provisions, policies and purposes of the 1940 Act and on a basis that is not different from or less advantageous than that of other participants.

²⁷

“Available Capital” means (a) for each Regulated Entity, the amount of capital available for investment determined based on the amount of cash on hand, existing commitments and reserves, if any, the targeted leverage level, targeted asset mix and other investment policies and restrictions set from time to time by the Board of the applicable Regulated Entity or imposed by applicable laws, rules, regulations or interpretations and (b) for each Affiliated Investor, the amount of capital available for investment determined based on the amount of cash on hand, existing commitments and reserves, if any, the targeted leverage level, targeted asset mix and other investment policies and restrictions set by the Affiliated Investor’s directors, general partners or adviser or imposed by applicable laws, rules, regulations or interpretations.

- 16 -

If an Adviser or its principals, or any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser or its principals, and any Affiliated Investor (collectively, the “Holders”) own in the aggregate more than 25 per cent of the outstanding voting shares of a Regulated Entity, then the Holders will vote such shares as directed by an independent third party when voting on (1) the election of directors; (2) the removal of one or more directors; or (3) all other matters under either the 1940 Act or applicable state law affecting the Board’s composition, size or manner of election.

Applicants believe that this condition will ensure that the Independent Directors will act independently in evaluating the Co-Investment Program, because the ability of the Adviser or its principals to influence the Independent Directors by a suggestion, explicit or implied, that the Independent Directors can be removed will be limited significantly. The Independent Directors shall evaluate and approve any such independent third party, taking into account its qualifications, reputation for independence, cost to the shareholders, and other factors that they deem relevant.

G. Conditions

Applicants agree that any Order granting the requested relief will be subject to the following conditions:

1. Each time a KKR Credit Adviser considers a Potential Co-Investment Transaction for an Affiliated Investor or another Regulated Entity that falls within a Regulated Entity’s then-current Objectives and Strategies and Board-Established Criteria, the Adviser to a Regulated Entity will make an independent determination of the appropriateness of the investment for the Regulated Entity in light of the Regulated Entity’s then-current circumstances.²⁸

²⁸

Any adviser to an Affiliated Fund whose sub-adviser is an Adviser will not source any Potential Co-Investment Transactions under the requested Order.

- 17 -

2. a. If the Adviser to a Regulated Entity deems participation in any Potential Co-Investment Transaction to be appropriate for the Regulated Entity, the Adviser will then determine an appropriate level of investment for such Regulated Entity.

b. If the aggregate amount recommended by the Adviser (to a Regulated Entity to be invested by the Regulated Entity in the Potential Co-Investment Transaction, together with the amount proposed to be invested by the other participating Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors, collectively, in the same transaction, exceeds the amount of the investment opportunity, the amount of the investment opportunity will be allocated among the Regulated Entities and such Affiliated Investors, pro rata based on each participant’s Available Capital for investment in the asset class being allocated, up to the amount proposed to be invested by each. The Adviser to a Regulated Entity will provide the Eligible Directors of a Regulated Entity with information concerning each participating party’s Available Capital to assist the Eligible Directors with their review of the Regulated Entity’s investments for compliance with these allocation procedures.

c. After making the determinations required in conditions 1 and 2(a) above, the Adviser to the Regulated Entity will distribute written information concerning the Potential Co-Investment Transaction, including the amount proposed to be invested by each Regulated Entity and any Affiliated Investor, to the Eligible Directors for their consideration. A Regulated Entity will co-invest with one or more other Regulated Entities and/or an Affiliated Investor only if, prior to the Regulated Entities’ and the Affiliated Investors’ participation in the Potential Co-Investment Transaction, a Required Majority concludes that:

(i) the terms of the Potential Co-Investment Transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Regulated Entity and its shareholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Regulated Entity or its shareholders on the part of any person concerned;

(ii) the Potential Co-Investment Transaction is consistent with:

(A). the interests of the Regulated Entity’s shareholders; and

(B). the Regulated Entity’s then-current Objectives and Strategies and Board-Established Criteria;

(iii) the investment by any other Regulated Entity or an Affiliated Investor would not disadvantage the Regulated Entity, and participation by the Regulated Entity would not be on a basis different from or less advantageous than that of any other Regulated Entity or Affiliated Investor; provided, that the Required Majority shall not be prohibited from reaching the conclusions required by this Condition 2(c)(iii) if:

(A). the settlement date for another Regulated Entity or an Affiliated Fund in a Co-Investment Transaction is later than the settlement date for the Regulated Entity by no more than ten business days or earlier than the settlement date for the Regulated Entity by no more than ten business days, in either case, so long as: (x) the date on which the commitments of the Affiliated Funds and Regulated Entities are made is the same; and (y) the earliest settlement date and the latest settlement date of any Affiliated Fund or Regulated Entity participating in the transaction will occur within ten business days of each other; or

- 18 -

(B). any other Regulated Entity or Affiliated Investor, but not the Regulated Entity itself, gains the right to nominate a director for election to a portfolio company’s board of directors or the right to have a board observer, or any similar right to participate in the governance or management of the portfolio company so long as: (x) the Eligible Directors will have the right to ratify the selection of such director or board observer, if any; (y) the Adviser to the Regulated Entity agrees to, and does, provide periodic reports to the Regulated Entity’s Board with respect to the actions of such director or the information received by such board observer or obtained through the exercise of any similar right to participate in the governance or management of the portfolio company; and (z) any fees or other compensation that any other Regulated Entity or any Affiliated Investor or any affiliated person of any other Regulated Entity or an Affiliated Investor receives in connection with the right of one or more Regulated Entities or Affiliated Investors to nominate a director or appoint a board observer or otherwise to participate in the governance or management of the portfolio company will be shared proportionately among the participating Affiliated Investors (who may, in turn, share their portion with their affiliated persons) and any participating Regulated Entity in accordance with the amount of each party’s investment; and

(iv) the proposed investment by the Regulated Entity will not benefit the Advisers, any other Regulated Entity, or the Affiliated Investors or any affiliated person of any of them (other than the parties to the Co-Investment Transaction), except (A) to the extent permitted by condition 13, (B) to the extent permitted under Sections 17(e) and 57(k) of the 1940 Act, as applicable, (C) in the case of fees or other compensation described in condition 2(c)(iii)(c), or (D) indirectly, as a result of an interest in the securities issued by one of the parties to the Co-Investment Transaction.

3. A Regulated Entity will have the right to decline to participate in any Potential Co-Investment Transaction or to invest less than the amount proposed.

4. The Adviser to the Regulated Entity will present to the Board of each Regulated Entity, on a quarterly basis, a record of all investments in Potential Co-Investments made by any of the other Regulated Entities or any of the Affiliated Investors during the preceding quarter that fell within the Regulated Entity’s then-current Objectives and Strategies and Board-Established Criteria that were not made available to the Regulated Entity, and an explanation of why the investment opportunities were not offered to the Regulated Entity. All information presented to the Board pursuant to this condition will be kept for the life of the Regulated Entity and at least two years thereafter, and will be subject to examination by the Commission and its staff.

- 19 -

5. Except for Follow-On Investments made in accordance with condition 9 and 10,²⁹ a Regulated Entity will not invest in reliance on the Order in any issuer in which a Related Party³⁰ is an existing investor.

6. A Regulated Entity will not participate in any Potential Co-Investment Transaction unless (i) the terms, conditions, price, class of securities to be purchased, the date on which the commitment is entered and registration rights will be the same for each participating Regulated Entity and Affiliated Investor and (ii) the earliest settlement date and the latest settlement date of any participating Regulated Entity or Affiliated Fund will occur as close in time as practicable and in no event more than ten business days apart. The grant to one or more Regulated Entities or Affiliated Investors, but not the Regulated Entity itself, of the right to nominate a director for election to a portfolio company’s board of directors, the right to have an observer on the board of directors or similar rights to participate in the governance or management of the portfolio company will not be interpreted so as to violate this Condition 6, if Condition 2(c)(iii)(b) are met.

7. a. If any Regulated Entity or Affiliated Investor elects to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of an interest in a security that was acquired by one or more Regulated Entities and/or Affiliated Investors in a Co-Investment Transaction, the applicable Adviser(s)³¹ will:

(i) notify each Regulated Entity of the proposed Disposition at the earliest practical time; and

(ii) formulate a recommendation as to participation by the Regulated Entity in the Disposition.

b. Each Regulated Entity will have the right to participate in such Disposition on a proportionate basis, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those applicable to the Affiliated Investors and any other Regulated Entity.

²⁹

This exception applies only to Follow-On Investments by a Regulated Entity in issuers in which that Regulated Entity already holds investments.

³⁰

“Related Party” means (i) any Close Affiliate, as defined below, and (ii) in respect of matters as to which any Adviser has knowledge, any Remote Affiliate, as defined below. “Remote Affiliate” means any person described in Section 57(e) in respect of any Regulated Fund (treating any registered investment company or series thereof as a BDC for this purpose) and any limited partner holding 5% or more of the relevant limited partner interests that would be a Close Affiliate but for the exclusion in that definition. “Close Affiliate” means the Advisers, the Regulated Funds, the Affiliated Funds and any other person described in Section 57(b) (after giving effect to Rule 57b-1) in respect of any Regulated Fund (treating any registered investment company or series thereof as a BDC for this purpose) except for limited partners included solely by reason of the reference in Section 57(b) to Section 2(a)(3)(D).

³¹

For purposes of the requested Order, any KCM Company that is not advised by an Adviser is itself deemed to be an Adviser for purposes of this Condition 7(a) and Conditions 8(a), 9(a) and 10(a).

- 20 -

c. A Regulated Entity may participate in such Disposition without obtaining prior approval of the Required Majority if:

(i) (A) the proposed participation of each Regulated Entity and each Affiliated Investor in such Disposition is proportionate to its outstanding investments in the issuer immediately preceding the Disposition;³²(B) the Regulated Entity’s Board has approved as being in the best interests of the Regulated Entity the ability to participate in such Dispositions on a pro rata basis (as described in greater detail in this Application); and (C) the Regulated Entity’s Board is provided on a quarterly basis with a list of all Dispositions made in accordance with this condition; or

(ii) each security is a Tradable Security and (A) the Disposition is not to the issuer or any affiliated person of the issuer; and (B) the security is sold for cash in a transaction in which the only term negotiated by or on behalf of the participating Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors is price.

d. In all other cases, the Adviser to the Regulated Entity will provide their written recommendation as to the Regulated Entity’s participation to the Eligible Directors, and the Regulated Entity will participate in such disposition solely to the extent that a Required Majority determines that it is in the Regulated Entity’s best interests.

e. Each Regulated Entity and each Affiliated Investor will bear its own expenses in connection with the Disposition.

8. a. If any Regulated Entity or Affiliated Investor elects to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of a Pre-Boarding Investment in a Potential Co-Investment Transaction and the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors have not previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer:

(i) the Adviser to such Regulated Entity or Affiliated Investor will notify each Regulated Entity that holds an investment in the issuer of the proposed disposition at the earliest practical time;

(ii) the Adviser to each Regulated Entity that holds an investment in the issuer, will formulate a recommendation as to participation by such Regulated Entity in the disposition; and

(iii) the Advisers will provide to the Board of each Regulated Entity that holds an investment in the issuer all information relating to the existing investments in the issuer of the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors, including the terms of such investments and how they were made, that is necessary for the Required Majority to make the findings required by this condition.

³²

In the case of any Disposition, proportionality will be measured by each participating Regulated Entity’s and Affiliated Investor’s outstanding investment in the security in question immediately preceding the Disposition.

- 21 -

b. The Adviser will provide its written recommendation as to the Regulated Entity’s participation to the Eligible Directors, and the Regulated Entity will participate in such disposition, solely to the extent that a Required Majority determines that:

(i) the disposition complies with Condition 2(c)(i), (ii), (iii)(A) and (iv); and

(ii) the making and holding of the Pre-Boarding Investments were not prohibited by Section 57 or Rule 17d-1, as applicable, and records the basis for the finding in the Board minutes.

c. The Disposition may only be completed in reliance on the Order if:

(i) Each Regulated Entity has the right to participate in such disposition on a proportionate basis, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those applicable to the Affiliated Investors and any other Regulated Entity;

(ii) All of the Affiliated Investors’ and Regulated Entities’ investments in the issuer are Pre-Boarding Investments;

(iii) Independent counsel to the Board advises that the making and holding of the investments in the Pre-Boarding Investments were not prohibited by Section 57 (as modified by Rule 57b-1) or Rule 17d-1, as applicable;

(iv) All Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors that hold Pre-Boarding Investments in the issuer immediately before the time of completion of the Co-Investment Transaction hold the same security or securities of the issuer. For the purpose of determining whether the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors hold the same security or securities, they may disregard any security held by some but not all of them if, prior to relying on the Order, the Required Majority is presented with all information necessary to make a finding, and finds, that: (i) any Regulated Entity’s or Affiliated Investor’s holding of a different class of securities (including for this purpose a security with a different maturity date) is Immaterial³³ in amount, including Immaterial relative to the size of the issuer; and (ii) the Board records the basis for any such finding in its minutes. In addition, securities that differ only in respect of issuance date, currency, or denominations may be treated as the same security; and

³³

In determining whether a holding is “Immaterial” for purposes of the Order, the Required Majority will consider whether the nature and extent of the interest in the transaction or arrangement is sufficiently small that a reasonable person would not believe that the interest affected the determination of whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement or the terms of the transaction or arrangement.

- 22 -

(v) The Affiliated Investors, the other Regulated Entities and their affiliated persons (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3)(C) of the 1940 Act), individually or in the aggregate, do not control the issuer of the securities (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act).

9. a. If any Regulated Entity or Affiliated Investor desires to make a Follow-On Investment in a portfolio company whose securities were acquired by the Regulated Entity and the Affiliated Investor in a Co-Investment Transaction, the applicable Adviser(s) will:

(i) notify the Regulated Entity of the proposed transaction at the earliest practical time; and

(ii) formulate a recommendation as to the proposed participation, including the amount of the proposed Follow-On Investment, by the Regulated Entity.

b. A Regulated Entity may participate in such Follow-On Investment without obtaining prior approval of the Required Majority if:

(i) (A) the proposed participation of each Regulated Entity and each Affiliated Investor in such investment is proportionate to its outstanding investments in the issuer or the security at issue, as appropriate,³⁴ immediately preceding the Follow-On Investment and (B) the Regulated Entity’s Board has approved as being in the best interests of such Regulated Entity the ability to participate in Follow-On Investments on a pro rata basis (as described in greater detail in this Application); or

(ii) it is a Non-Negotiated Follow-On Investment.

c. In all other cases, the Adviser to the Regulated Entity will provide their written recommendation as to such Regulated Entity’s participation to the Eligible Directors, and the Regulated Entity will participate in such Follow-On Investment solely to the extent that the Required Majority determines that it is in such Regulated Entity’s best interests. If the only previous Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer was an Enhanced Review Disposition, the Eligible Directors must complete this review of the proposed Follow-On Investment both on a stand-alone basis and together with the Pre-Boarding Investments in relation to the total economic exposure and other terms of the investment.

³⁴

To the extent that a Follow-On Investment opportunity is in a security or arises in respect of a security held by the participating Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors, proportionality will be measured by each participating Regulated Entity’s and Affiliated Investor’s outstanding investment in the security in question immediately preceding the Follow-On Investment using the most recent available valuation thereof. To the extent that a Follow-On Investment opportunity relates to an opportunity to invest in a security that is not in respect of any security held by any of the participating Regulated Entities or Affiliated Investors, proportionality will be measured by each participating Regulated Entity’s and Affiliated Investor’s outstanding investment in the issuer immediately preceding the Follow-On Investment using the most recent available valuation thereof.

- 23 -

d. If, with respect to any Follow-On Investment:

(i) the amount of a Follow-On Investment is not based on the Regulated Entities’ and the Affiliated Investors’ outstanding investments immediately preceding the Follow-On Investment; and

(ii) the aggregate amount recommended by the Adviser to a Regulated Entity to be invested by the Regulated Entity in the Follow-On Investment, together with the amount proposed to be invested by the other participating Regulated Entities and the Affiliated Investors in the same transaction, exceeds the amount of the opportunity; then the amount invested by each such party will be allocated among them pro rata based on each participant’s Available Capital for investment in the asset class being allocated, up to the amount proposed to be invested by each.

e. The acquisition of Follow-On Investments as permitted by this condition will be considered a Co-Investment Transaction for all purposes and subject to the other conditions set forth in the Application.

10. a. If any Regulated Entity or Affiliated Investor desires to make a Follow-On Investment in an issuer that is a Potential Co-Investment Transaction and the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Funds holding investments in the issuer have not previously participated in a Co-Investment Transaction with respect to the issuer:

(i) the Adviser to each such Regulated Entity or Affiliated Investor will notify each Regulated Entity that holds securities of the portfolio company of the proposed transaction at the earliest practical time;

(ii) the Adviser to each Regulated Entity that holds an investment in the issuer will formulate a recommendation as to the proposed participation, including the amount of the proposed investment, by such Regulated Entity; and

b. The Adviser will provide its written recommendation as to the Regulated Entity’s participation to the Eligible Directors, and the Regulated Entity will participate in such Follow-On Investment solely to the extent that a Required Majority reviews the proposed Follow-On Investment both on a stand-alone basis and together with the Pre-Boarding Investments in relation to the total economic exposure and other terms and makes the determinations set forth in condition 2(c). In addition, the Follow-On Investment may only be completed in reliance on the Order if the Required Majority of each participating Regulated Entity determines that the making and holding of the Pre-Boarding Investments were not prohibited by Section 57 (as modified by Rule 57b-1) or Rule 17d-1, as applicable. The basis for the Board's findings will be recorded in its minutes.

c. The Follow-On Investment may only be completed in reliance on the Order if:

(i) all of the Affiliated Investors’ and Regulated Entities’ investments in the issuer are Pre-Boarding Investments; and

- 24 -

(ii) independent counsel to the Board advises that the making and holding of the investments in the Pre-Boarding Investments were not prohibited by Section 57 (as modified by Rule 57b-1) or Rule 17d-1, as applicable;

(iii) all Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors that hold Pre-Boarding Investments in the issuer immediately before the time of completion of the Co-Investment Transaction hold the same security or securities of the issuer. For the purpose of determining whether the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors hold the same security or securities, they may disregard any security held by some but not all of them if, prior to relying on the Order, the Required Majority is presented with all information necessary to make a finding, and finds, that: (i) any Regulated Entity’s or Affiliated Investor’s holding of a different class of securities (including for this purpose a security with a different maturity date) is Immaterial in amount, including Immaterial relative to the size of the issuer; and (ii) the Board records the basis for any such finding in its minutes. In addition, securities that differ only in respect of issuance date, currency, or denominations may be treated as the same security; and

(iv) the Affiliated Investors, the other Regulated Entities and their affiliated persons (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3)(C) of the 1940 Act), individually or in the aggregate, do not control the issuer of the securities (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act); and

d. If, with respect to any such Follow-On Investment:

(i) the amount of the opportunity proposed to be made available to any Regulated Entity is not based on the Regulated Entities' and the Affiliated Funds' outstanding investments in the issuer or the security at issue, as appropriate, immediately preceding the Follow-On Investment; and

(ii) the aggregate amount recommended by the Advisers to be invested in the Follow-On Investment by the participating Regulated Entities and any participating Affiliated Funds, collectively, exceeds the amount of the investment opportunity, then the Follow-On Investment opportunity will be allocated among them pro rata based on each participant’s Available Capital for investment in the asset class being allocated, up to the amount proposed to be invested by each.

11. The Independent Directors of each Regulated Entity will be provided quarterly for review all information concerning Potential Co-Investment Transactions and Co-Investment Transactions, including investments made by other Regulated Entities or Affiliated Investors that a Regulated Entity considered but declined to participate in, so that the Independent Directors may determine whether all investments made during the preceding quarter, including those investments which the Regulated Entity considered but declined to participate in, comply with the conditions of the Order. In addition, the Independent Directors will consider at least annually (a) the continued appropriateness for such Regulated Entity of participating in new and existing Co-Investment Transactions and (b) the continued appropriateness of any Board-Established Criteria.

- 25 -

12. Each Regulated Entity will maintain the records required by Section 57(f)(3) of the 1940 Act as if each of the Regulated Entities were a BDC and each of the investments permitted under these conditions were approved by a Required Majority under Section 57(f).

13. No Independent Director of a Regulated Entity will also be a director, general partner, managing member or principal, or otherwise an “affiliated person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any Affiliated Investor.

14. The expenses, if any, associated with acquiring, holding or disposing of any securities acquired in a Co-Investment Transaction (including, without limitation, the expenses of the distribution of any such securities registered for sale under the 1933 Act) shall, to the extent not payable by the applicable Adviser(s) under their respective advisory agreements with the Regulated Entities and the Affiliated Investors, be shared by the Regulated Entities and the Affiliated Investors in proportion to the relative amounts of the securities held or to be acquired or disposed of, as the case may be.

15. Any transaction fee (including break-up or commitment fees but excluding broker’s fees contemplated by Section 17(e) or 57(k) of the 1940 Act, as applicable)³⁵ received in connection with a Co-Investment Transaction will be distributed to the participating Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors on a pro rata basis based on the amount they invested or committed, as the case may be, in such Co-Investment Transaction. If any transaction fee is to be held by an Adviser pending consummation of the transaction, the fee will be deposited into an account maintained by the Adviser at a bank or banks having the qualifications prescribed in Section 26(a)(1) of the 1940 Act, and the account will earn a competitive rate of interest that will also be divided pro rata among the participating Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors based on the amount they invest in the Co-Investment Transaction. None of the other Regulated Entities, Affiliated Investors, the applicable Adviser(s) nor any affiliated person of the Regulated Entities or the Affiliated Investors will receive additional compensation or remuneration of any kind as a result of or in connection with a Co-Investment Transaction (other than (a) in the case of the Regulated Entities and the Affiliated Investors, the pro rata transaction fees described above and fees or other compensation described in condition 2(c)(iii)(c) and (b) in the case of the Advisers, investment advisory fees paid in accordance with the Regulated Entities’ and the Affiliated Investors’ investment advisory agreements).

16. The Advisers to the Regulated Entities and Affiliated Investors will maintain written policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the foregoing conditions. These policies and procedures will require, among other things, that each of the Advisers to each Regulated Entity will be notified of all Potential Co-Investment Transactions that fall within such Regulated Entity’s then-current Objectives and Strategies and Board-Established Criteria and will be given sufficient information to make its independent determination and recommendations under conditions 1, 2(a), 7 and 8.

³⁵ Applicants are not requesting and the Commission is not providing any relief for transaction fees received in connection with any Co-Investment Transaction.

- 26 -

17. If the Holders own in the aggregate more than 25 percent of the Shares of a Regulated Entity, then the Holders will vote such Shares as directed by an independent third party when voting on (1) the election of directors; (2) the removal of one or more directors; or (3) all other matters under either the 1940 Act or applicable State law affecting the Board’s composition, size or manner of election.
