Under our Director Code of Conduct, each director must report to our General Counsel upon learning of any prospective transaction or relationship in which
the director will have a financial or personal interest (direct or indirect) that is with us, involves the use of our assets, or involves competition against us
(consistent with any confidentiality obligation the director may have). Our General Counsel must then advise our Board of any such transaction or
relationship and our Board must pre-approve any material transaction or relationship.
Under our Code of Conduct, executive officers may not use their personal influence to get us to do business with a company in which they, their family
members or their friends have an interest. In situations where an executive officer is in a position of influence or where a conflict of interest would arise, the
prior approval of our General Counsel is required.

We have a management agreement with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (KKR) and one of its affiliates (Management Agreement) pursuant to which KKR
provides management, consulting, financial, and other advisory services to us. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, KKR receives an aggregate annual
management fee and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provision of services. The Management Agreement has an
initial term expiring on December 31, 2019, provided that the term will be extended annually thereafter unless we provide prior written notice of its desire
not to automatically extend the term. The Management Agreement provides that KKR also is entitled to receive a fee equal to a percentage of the gross
transaction value in connection with certain subsequent financing, acquisition, disposition and change of control transactions, as well as a termination fee
based on the net present value of future payment obligations under the Management Agreement in the event of an initial public offering or under certain
other circumstances. The Management Agreement terminates automatically upon the consummation of an initial public offering unless otherwise determined
by KKR and may be terminated at any time by mutual consent of us and KKR. The Management Agreement also contains customary exculpation and
indemnification provisions in favor of KKR and its affiliates. In 2014, we paid $20 million of management fees to KKR.
On December 16, 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement in which KKR Capital Markets LLC (KCM), an affiliate of KKR, agreed to serve as one of the

paid underwriting commissions of $7 million to KCM.
On January 22, 2014, we entered into an engagement letter with KCM, pursuant to which KCM agreed to assist in arranging and coordinating our request to
extend the maturity and lower the interest rate on certain commitments and loans under its senior secured lending facility. We paid KCM $1 million for such
services.

agreed to assist in arranging and coordinating our request to amend the terms and lower the interest on portions of the loans under its senior secured lending
facility. We paid KCM $2 million for such services.
