TRANSMISSION OF THIS DOCUMENT TO ANY OTHER PERSON IN THE UNITED KINGDOM IS UNAUTHORISED AND MAY CONTRAVENE THE FSMA. IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, PARTICIPATION IN THE COMPANY IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO SUCH PERSONS AND PERSONS OF ANY OTHER DESCRIPTION SHOULD NOT RELY ON THIS DOCUMENT 14 NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR (including pro forma presentations thereof) and the related ratios presented in this Memorandum are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation (including impairment charges) and amortization. Pro forma presentations of EBITDA have also added back KinderCare Learning Centers, Inc.'s ("KinderCare") discontinued operations, consistent with KLC's treatment of center closures and sales and KinderCare's historical presentation of EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus (i) expenses (minus gains) that we do not consider reflective of our ongoing operations after the KinderCare acquisition, as further described in this Memorandum and (ii) management fees which are subordinated to our obligations on our 7%% senior subordinated notes (the "Notes") and which are added back in measuring our performance for purposes of our ability to incur debt under our indenture. Our actual and projected Adjusted EBITDA, where applicable, also exclude non- cash stock-based compensation expense, which is also excluded under our indenture; accruals under our stock appreciation rights ("SAR") plan; and accruals under our long term incentive plan, which are non- cash at the time of award and vest and become payable in three years subject to continued employment (with certain exceptions). Our pro forma Adjusted EBITDA for 2005 excludes restructuring and integration charges associated with the KinderCare acquisition and the cost of operating parallel organizations during the integration process, which management does not consider reflective of ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDAR is Adjusted EBITDA plus rent expense. We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which present EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDAR when reporting their results. We are basing our executive incentive compensation payments in part on our performance measured using Adjusted EBITDA including adjustments described herein. We also use financial measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA, though subject to certain different adjustments, in the senior credit facility that we entered into in connection with the KinderCare acquisition and the indenture governing the Notes to measure our compliance with covenants such as interest coverage and debt incurrence. Measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA are also widely used by us and others in our industry to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. For example, we evaluated the KinderCare acquisition and our 2003 acquisition of ARAMARK Educational Resources to a significant degree based on their historical and potential EBITDA, as adjusted for items we did not consider representative of post-acquisition operations. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting relative interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). We believe Adjusted EBITDAR is a useful measure of performance independent of occupancy costs. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting EBITDA to eliminate the impact of a number of items we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operations and for the other reasons noted above. For the reasons indicated herein, you are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and whether you consider it appropriate. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. 15 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: • they do not reflect our cash expenditures for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; • they do not reflect the cost of our non-cash stock-based compensation or our SAR plan or long term incentive plan or the expense associated with allocating Profits Participation LP Units (as defined below) to employees; • they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital; • they do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness; • they do not reflect management fees; • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and our non-GAAP measures do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements or the related expense; • they do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from the significant costs we have incurred in integrating KinderCare, and we are likely to incur significant integration costs in future acquisitions; • other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure; and • they do not comply with the requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K or Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or reduce our indebtedness. We compensate for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results as well as these non-GAAP measures. For more information, see our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Memorandum.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Memorandum. You should carefully consider the information set forth under "Risk Factors". The term "KUE" refers only to Knowledge Universe Education L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership. The terms "Knowledge Universe Education", the "Company", "we", "us" and "our" refer to KUE and, where applicable, its subsidiaries, and do not refer to the Agents. In November 2005, KLC separated its education operations ("KLC OpCo') from its real estate assets ("KLC PropCo'). 1.1. Company Overview KUE is the third largest for-profit education company in the world and the largest for-profit education company in the pre-school to 12th grade segment ("pre-K-12") in the world. While the Company's operations are currently based within the U.S., the proceeds from this transaction will be used primarily to expand KUE's education platform both globally and across the pre-K-12 education continuum. KUE's existing portfolio of assets consists of: (i) KLC OpCo, the leading early childhood education ("ECE") company with 2,507 locations in 39 states and the District of Columbia and nearly two and a half times larger than its next closest competitor in terms of revenue; (ii) KLC PropCo, one of the largest education based real estate portfolios in the U.S. consisting of 845 early childhood centers located in 37 states; and Knowledge Universe Education LP 87.6%1 KUE Management Inc. (General Partner) 17.9% to 40.0%2 Knowledge Learning Corporation (KLC) k12 Inc. (iii) A significant interest in k12, an online curriculum provider and kindergarten through 12th grade management company, currently serving over 25,000 students as the largest operator of online virtual schools in the U.S. The principal owners of KUE are Michael Milken, Lowell Milken and Steven Green (collectively the "Principals"). Michael Milken and Lowell Milken each has more than two decades of experience in the education sector through involvement in several for-profit and not-for-profit initiatives. Steven Green, former U.S. ambassador to Singapore, has more than two decades of experience as an international industrialist leading major corporate restructurings and expansions in manufacturing, housing, consumer products, retail and real estate enterprises. The Company represents the Principals' sole vehicle for equity investment opportunities in the pre-K-12 sector going forward. The Principals founded the Company and its affiliated companies over the past decade based on their vision of a world where competition for human capital3 is becoming the driving force of economic prosperity. To remain competitive in the world economy, countries will be forced to invest heavily in the development of their human capital. The Principals believe that an investment made in an individual's education, especially at a young age, is the most effective way to build human capital and thereby increase that individual's lifelong productivity. As the largest for-profit provider of ECE in the world, the Company is well positioned to capitalize on these trends. :The 12.4% minority position is held by various investors. KUE's ownership varies depending on the liquidation value or sale value of k12 and according to the preference of the various securities KUE owns. At higher valuations, KUE's percentage ownership is lower. See "k12 Inc. (k12) — k12 Equity." 3 The economic theory of Human Capital Policy was first published by University of Chicago professor James Heckman in Human Capital Policy, dated August 2002. 19 Education is one of the largest sectors in the world, representing approximately 5% of global gross national income of $48 trillion.4 In 2005 in the U.S. alone, education was a $1 trillion market.' Education is still predominantly provided by public / governmental entities in most countries including the U.S. KUE believes that the industry will converge towards a more balanced public / private system, similar to the evolution observed in the 20th century in other major industries such as healthcare, infrastructure and telecommunications. The Company's strategy is to grow its existing platforms both domestically and internationally and to expand its assets globally across the pre-K-12 education continuum. In addition to its current investments in ECE and online curriculum, KUE will seek to expand by acquiring education companies offering services or products that can complement its current offering. KUE believes that owning a diversified portfolio of assets in the pre-K-12 education space will allow it to leverage content and best practices across multiple constituencies and to multiple markets. KUE's strategy in U.S. ECE is to expand its existing platform through the opening of new centers, opportunistic acquisitions of smaller competitors and the sale of education-related products and services through existing channels. Internationally, KUE has identified several near-term opportunities to expand into Europe, the Middle-East and Asia, with some of these opportunities in advanced stages of preparation. Management has a history of successfully growing through acquisitions. In May 2003, KLC acquired Aramark Educational Resources ("AER"), a company three times its size in terms of revenue. Management completed the integration of AER in approximately 12 months, realizing approximately $10 million in net annual synergies and improving operational performance. In January 2005, the Company acquired KinderCare, the largest provider of ECE services in the U.S. at the time. Management achieved approximately $25 million in net annualized synergies through the closing of under-performing centers and the rationalization of corporate overhead. In November 2005, KLC separated its education operations (KLC OpCo) from its real estate assets (KLC PropCo). Management believes this division allows KLC OpCo management to focus on the core business of operating and growing the ECE business while the maximization of the valuable educational real estate portfolio is managed and expanded by a professional real estate firm, Greenstreet Real Estate Partners (formerly Greenstreet Realty Partners, L.P.), and also represents management's view of KLC's component businesses. Management believes that KUE presents an attractive financial profile with its combination of businesses: (i) KLC OpCo, which generated $1.48 billion in pro forma revenue and $150 million in pro forma Adjusted EBITDA6 in 2005, is projected to grow organically to $2.3 billion and $320 million by 2011, respectively and to generate operating cash flow growing from $72 million in 2005 to $214 million in 2011; (ii) a real estate portfolio in KLC PropCo that generated an additional $88 million in pro forma EBITDA in 2005; and (Hi) an investment in k12, which continues to deliver top line growth in excess of 25% and has seen its revenue grow at a 133% compounded annual growth rate over the last three fiscal years (from $6.7 million in 2002 to $85.1 million in 2005). 1.2. Investment Rationale 1.2.1 Attractive Industry Characteristics ri The global for-profit education market is large and growing ° Source: UNESCO Institute for Statistics database. 6 Source: US Department of Education National Center for Education Statistics and Training Magazine and Harris Nesbitt research. ° Pro forma for the acquisition of KinderCare and the separation of KLC into KLC OpCo and KLC PropCo. 20 Education is one of the largest sectors in the world and represents a large portion of a country's investments — Represents approximately 5% of global gross national income of $48 trillion. In the U.S. alone, education represents a $1 trillion market with for-profit education accounting for approximately $81 billion or 7.8% of the overall market. — The pre-K-12 segment of the education market is approximately a $610 billion market, with for- profit pre-K-12 education accounting for approximately $37.4 billion, over 6.1% of the pre-K-12 market/ The for-profit education sector is growing at an attractive rate — U.S. education spending has grown at a stable compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") of 5.7% since 1993. The for-profit component of this industry (pre-K-12, post secondary and corporate training) is projected to grow faster than the overall historical industry growth rate, at a 7.4% annual rate, reflecting the increasing importance of for-profit operations in the sector, to reach a market size of $116 billion by 2010.7 — In addition, these estimates do not reflect the growing segment of direct to consumer educational materials such as supplemental tutoring, which represented an estimated $20 billion of additional spending in 2004. • Increasing competition for human capital To remain competitive in the global economy, countries are investing heavily in the development of their human capital, especially at young ages — According to the World Bank's World Education Indicators, worldwide enrollment rates in pre- primary education increased by 37% from 1995 to 2003.8 — KUE believes that education companies will become significantly more valuable as countries become increasingly aware of the competitive advantages afforded by education. Of the top 100 global companies by market cap, not a single education company is represented on the list. As globalization of the economy and improving technologies flatten the playing field, demand for more standardized education across regions increases — KUE believes that increasingly global education standards, enhanced workforce mobility and new technologies are catalysts of world competition for human capital. • Several international growth opportunities The Company is starting to execute on its international development strategy — In the near term, the Company is focusing on opportunities identified in the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and China. Depending on the state and organization of each country's education sector, KUE's development will be executed through cooperation with government authorities, outright acquisitions and/or the establishment of partnerships with key local players. 7 Source: Harris Nesbitt, Education and Training, September 2005. Source: Education Trends in Perspective: Analysis of the World Education Indicators, 2005. 21 — These initiatives could provide three key regional platforms for further development and consolidation. In the medium term, numerous opportunities for KUE should be generated by the increasing demand for quality for-profit educational offerings by governments and citizens around the world — Competitive pressures for development of human capital, deficiencies of national education systems, growth of a middle-class in China, India and the Middle East, demand for English language offerings and changing demographics are some of the primary drivers of increased demand internationally. — In China alone, 274 million children are under the age of 15, and 100 million are single-children under the age of 25, as a result of the one-child policy. These demographics result in large demand for education and increased spending capacity per child. I• Favorable demographic trends and customer behavior in the U.S. Growing number of working mothers — According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates, women are expected to represent nearly 48% of the total U.S. workforce by 2012, up from 46.6% in 2002.° — In the U.S., approximately 60% of mothers with children under the age of six are employed. Increasing birth rate — There are approximately 24 million children under the age of five in the U.S. today. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, absolute birth rates are going to continue to increase, and the population of children in the U.S. five and under is expected to increase to approximately 27 million by 2015.10 Essential nature of the service to the consumer — As with healthcare, parents are primarily focused on the quality of the service that their child receives and the proximity of the center to their home or work; price is typically a secondary consideration. By relieving parents of the requirement to stay at home with their children, ECE allows both men and women to participate in the workforce and generate income for the household. 1.2.2 Compelling Business Profile • KUE presents an attractive financial profile For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, KLC OpCo had operations in 39 states and Washington D.C. and generated pro forma revenue of $1.48 billion — With organic growth projected to be in excess of 5% per annum through 2011, geographic diversity and double-digit Adjusted EBITDA margins, KLC OpCo can generate attractive returns. — KLC OpCo generates strong operating cash flow (48% of 2005 pro forma Adjusted EBITDA) which provides significant resources to fund investment and support equity return-enhancing leverage, a ° Source: Harris Nesbitt, Education and Training, September 2005. 1° Source: Population Projections Branch, U.S. Census Bureau, "US. Interim Projections by Age, Sex, Race and Hispanic Origin," May 2004. 22 capability that is expected to increase in line with the 13.5% Adjusted EBITDA CAGR projected until 2011. k12 continues to grow at an impressive rate, with annual enrollment growth proiected in excess of 25% over the next two years — Many of k12's direct costs are semi-fixed in nature (e.g., school administration) creating strong economies of scale as this business continues to grow. — With $70 million invested in the development of the platform for kindergarten to 9th grade classes, extension of the offering into new states and schools is expected to be achieved at relatively low costs. • Leading market position in early childhood education with significant brand equity Leading market positions in early childhood education and before and after school programs ___ Largest U.S. provider of ECE services (1,934 centers).

ABC has approximately 1,167 total centers (707 of which are located in Australia and New Zealand) and combined LTM revenue of $441.1 million using Learning Care Group LTM revenue of $220.7 million as of 10/14/05 and ABC LTM revenue of $292.7 million AUD as of 6/30/05, converted at an average exchange rate of .753 AUD/USD from 6/30/04 to 6/30/05. — Second largest U.S. provider of ECE to employers (122 centers). — Largest U.S. for-profit provider of before and after school programs (573 sites). High brand awareness and customer recognition — The programs are marketed primarily under the KinderCare, Children's Discovery Centers, Knowledge Beginnings, and Children's World brand names. KinderCare enjoyed 87% aided awareness as of November 2005.11 • Superior competitive position of KLC OpCo as a result of proprietary curriculum, standards of excellence and experience and scale 11 Source: Parthenon Conjoint Survey. 23 KLC OpCo has leveraged its scale and operational expertise to roll out a proprietary curriculum and to provide enhanced corporate level services — Curriculum has been developed, rolled out and refined over many years and provides a significant competitive advantage in an industry where small independent players do not have the resources to develop comparable programs. — Operational leverage allows for enhanced marketing, back-office, legal and compliance functions, keeping KLC OpCo at the forefront of education standards. Controls that meet or exceed requirements established by licensing authorities, state and federal government and accrediting bodies — Controls include rigorous and stringent hiring procedures and uniform rules for conduct. — 43% of KLC OpCo's centers, over four times the industry average of 10%, are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (referred to herein as "NAEYC"), the nation's leading accreditation body. Management believes that all the Company's centers' operations and policies meet or are substantially compliant with NAEYC accreditation requirements. • A compelling business model at k12 As the state of education across the U.S. is generating increasing concerns, k12 provides a compelling value proposition — Children continue to perform poorly on assessment tests geared to measure reading, writing and math skills. The passing of legislation such as the "No Child Left Behind Act of 2001" which, among other things, provides for increased funding for education and implementation of achievement level standards, demonstrates the commitment of government to address the issue. Technology and content platform easily leverageable to provide results-driven curriculum and service — With $70 million invested in the development of the platform for kindergarten to 9th grade classes, extension of the offering into new states and schools is expected to be achieved at relatively low costs. — k12 benefits from stable demand for its curriculum and services which is reflected by current reenrollment rates of 65% to 70%. — Many of the direct costs are semi-fixed in nature (e.g., school administration) creating strong economies of scale as this business continues to grow. • Valuable real estate portfolio of centers providing solid asset base 845 owned centers recently appraised at approximately $1.25 billion12 — New organization separating management of real estate assets allows KLC OpCo education teams to focus on the core education business. — Long term partnership with Greenstreet Real Estate Partners ensuring state-of-the-art management of the real estate assets by a leader in this field. 12 Actual appraisal was for 713 out of 845 centers and the appraised value was $1.1 billion. The $1.25 billion is achieved by taking the independent appraisal valuation methodology and extrapolating it to the remaining 132 centers. 24 B Strong leadership teams KUE ___ Strong team of highly experienced professionals at the KUE level, led by CEO Lowell Milken, Chairman Michael Milken and Vice-Chairmen Steven Green and Ted Sanders. The team contributes an average of more than two decades of experience in their respective fields to KUE. ___ Providing corporate headquarters support services in the areas of strategy and business development, acquisitions, recruiting of executives, communication and government relations. KLC OpCo — Highly experienced management team comprised of both experts in the field of education (C00 Dr. Elanna Yalow has substantial experience operating for-profit ECE centers), as well as business professionals. — Seasoned executive and middle management team with average Company tenure of ten years. k12 — Chairman, Founder and acting CEO Ron Packard has extensive experience in the K-12 education space and was previously with KLC before founding k12. John Baule, Executive Vice President and CFO, served as CFO of Headstrong for five years before joining k12. 1.2.3 Value Creating Strategy • Value is created by owning assets across the pre-K-12 education continuum Incremental value is expected to be created from strategic and financial synergies inherent in a global platform — The Company can exploit the similarities in various education markets by capitalizing on the assets it owns (e.g., using KLC's expertise to establish similar operations across geographies and across the pre-K-12 education continuum). — Sharing of best practices globally and ability to cross-sell products and services to the Company's customers. — Entry into less structured international markets early in their development cycle to establish attractive competitive positions. • Multiple growth opportunities at KLC and k12 Top line organic growth at KLC OpCo is expected to be driven by several factors: ___ Historically the industry has demonstrated a pattern of price increases above inflation. Historical industry data shows an average tuition rate increase of 7% per annum.13 — Higher "Utilization"14 resulting from increased student enrollment, improved retention rates, further network rationalization to better align supply with demand, more favorable center build rate in the broader industry and favorable macro trends. "Source: The National Economic Impacts of the Child Care Sector 2002. 25 — The ECE industry generates approximately $54 billion in total spending in the U.S. and has grown at a compound annual growth rate of 10% since 1982. It is expected to grow at a 3.4% compounded annual rate through 2010 according to Harris Nesbitt research. The ECE industry's growth has been driven by several favorable social and demographic trends including: the increase in working mothers and single-parent or dual-income families, historically high birth rates, and increase in popularity of center-based care. ___ Net opening of new centers as the integration of KinderCare winds down and the number of center openings starts exceeding the number of closures. — Leverage of KLC OpCo's footprint to market additional educational products and services to the more than 300,000 children KLC OpCo interacts with each year, their parents, grandparents and other child care providers. Selected incremental revenue opportunities include: foreign language or music lessons, educational materials and financial services (life insurance, health insurance, tuition financing, etc.). Growth through acquisitions and industry consolidation — Consolidation strategy supported by the highly fragmented early childhood industry, with for-profit chains representing only approximately 5% of the market in aggregate, and small independent providers representing 60% of the market.15 ___ Management has demonstrated an ability to grow through acquisitions, as evidenced by the three networks acquired by KLC since inception, of sizes up to 1,000 centers. Multiple drivers of expected double-digit growth at k12 — Existing school enrollment rates at k12 expected to continue to increase at double digit rates for at least the next three years, as k12 further penetrates its existing markets through commercial and marketing push. — k12 currently operates virtual public schools in 11 states and the District of Columbia. As legislatures in other states permit the formation of virtual public schools, k12 expects to have opportunities to expand into new states. "Utilization is calculated as the total actual child care revenues earned at centers that are open at the calculation date divided by the total potential child care revenue (based upon the center's undiscounted pre-school tuition rate and the center's total licensed capacity) during the related time period.

The offering is expected to be completed in one or more closings on or before March 31, 2007 (the "Offering Period"). Since the General Partner will have a nominal economic interest in KUE, the Class A Shares are expected to have nominal economic value. The Class A Shares are, however, intended to provide Unit holders with certain voting and other governance rights in the General Partner (as described further below) which, in turn, will control KUE. The Common LP Units and the Class A Shares comprising the Units owned by the investors (the "Investors") will not be separately transferable unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors of the General Partner and a committee of Independent Directors (as defined below) (the "Independent Committee"). U.S. $25 million (subject to waiver by the General Partner at its sole discretion). At any closing after the first closing of the offering of the Units, the maximum investment permitted will be U.S. $185.0 million.

Subscriptions paid in any closing will not otherwise be returned regardless of the size or occurrence of any subsequent closing. Investors admitted during the Offering Period after the first closing of this offering and after September 30, 2006 will pay an additional amount accruing at a rate of 0.67% per month calculated from the first closing date of the offering (pro- rated for partial periods) for each Common LP Unit purchased, which will be distributed promptly to the holders of Common LP Units outstanding prior to such admission in proportion to the number of Common LP Units held by such holders.

Assuming that 1,000,000 Units are sold to Investors by March 31, 2007, and that the accrued dividends on the preferred limited partner units are paid in cash, approximately 2,530,000 Units will be outstanding. The Investors will own approximately 40% of KUE in the form of Common LP Units (excluding profits participation limited partner units of KUE, "Profits Participation LP Units") and approximately 40% of the General Partner in the form of Class A Shares. The General Partner will be the sole general partner of KUE and will hold approximately 1,000 General Partner Units ("GP Units") in KUE, representing approximately 0.04% ownership in KUE. The economic interest in KUE represented by the Common 28 LP Units and the GP Units will be reduced by the Profits Participation LP Units as described below under "Distributions." Assuming that 1,000,000 Units are sold to Investors by March 31, 2007, and that the accrued dividends on the preferred limited partner units are paid in cash, KUE LLC, controlled by the Principals, will hold approximately 1,530,000 Common LP Units representing approximately 60% ownership in KUE (excluding Profits Participation LP Units) and 1,530,000 Class A Shares. The Common LP Units owned by KUE LLC will not be transferable, except to (i) the Principals; (ii) to affiliates of the Principals; and/or OD to family members and/or charitable organizations in connection with the Principals' estate planning, unless combined with the corresponding percentage of Class A Shares to form Units and transferred in the form of Units in accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement. Knowledge Universe Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("KUH LLC") controlled by the Principals, will hold 900 Class B ordinary shares of the General Partner (the "Class B Shares"). The Class B Shares held by the Principals and their affiliates will not be transferable, except to (i) the Principals; (H) to the affiliates of the Principals; and/or (iii) to family members and/or charitable organizations in connection with the Principals' estate planning. The Class B Shares will automatically convert to Class A Shares if the Principals' aggregate direct and indirect economic interest in KUE is less than 15% of the outstanding Partnership Units (as defined below) of KUE. A limited liability company ("KULG LLC-1"), of which Knowledge Universe Learning Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is controlled by the Principals ("KULG"), and certain other persons designated by KULG are members, will be the holder of the Profits Participation LP Units (the "Profits Participation Limited Partner") with the economic rights as set forth in "— Distributions" below. At each closing of any sale of Units to Investors where the aggregate purchase price of all Units acquired by Investors to date is less than or equal to $1.5 billion (during the Offering Period or thereafter), the Profits Participation Limited Partner will be issued a number of Profits Participation LP Units such that the aggregate shall equal at least 9/11ths of the 11% of "Partnership Units" (Common LP Units, GP Units, and Profits Participation LP Units) that may be represented by Profits Participation LP Units. Additional Profits Participation LP Units will be issued to the Profits Participation Limited Partner, at such time and in such numbers as the Profits Participation Limited Partner will direct, based upon the issuance by the Profit Participation Limited Partner of interests to members of the Profits Participation Limited Partner (who may include employees, officers, directors, consultants and agents of KUE, its 29 subsidiaries and joint ventures as designated by KULG other than the Principals and their affiliates), the vesting schedule of such interests, and whether certain tax elections are made by the recipients of such interests; provided, however, the total number of Profits Participation LP Units shall not exceed a number equal to eleven percent (11%) of the aggregate number of Partnership Units. Any increase in the number of Profits Participation LP Units following the sale of the first $1.5 billion of Common LP Units to Investors requires a majority vote of the Independent Committee. Subsequent to the completion of this offering, KUE may raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities. KUE will not have any preferred limited partner units outstanding upon completion of this offering but KUE may issue limited partner units with preferences over the Common LP Units in the future and may amend the Limited Partnership Agreement accordingly. Distributions: First, to the Common Limited Partners and the General Partner in proportion to and to the extent of their unreturned Capital Contributions, but in no case may a distribution pursuant to this paragraph exceed a Partner's positive adjusted capital account balance; Second, to the Common Limited Partners and the General Partner and the Profits Participation Limited Partner (with respect to Profits Participation Units theretofore allocated to
