income previously allocated to the General Partner pursuant to this bullet; • Second, to the Common Limited Partners and the General Partner in proportion to and to the extent of the excess of their unreturned capital contributions over their adjusted capital account balances; • Third, pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) in proportion as follows: (a) to the Common Limited Partners and the General Partner in proportion to and to the extent of the excess of: (i) the sum of their unreturned capital contributions and their undistributed Preferred Returns; over (i) their adjusted capital account balances; and (b) to the Profits Participation Limited Partner an amount of income such that the amount of Income allocated pursuant to Subsections (a) and (b) of this bullet are in the same proportions as the distributions pursuant to Subsections (a) and (b) of the second bullet of 14.9 above would be in if cash, in the same amount as the income, were being distributed pursuant to the second bullet of 14.9 above; • Fourth, to the Profits Participation Limited Partner in the amount necessary to ensure, as promptly as possible and to the extent feasible, that the cumulative net income of KUE for all periods since its inception shall have been allocated to the Common Limited Partners, the Profits Participation Limited Partner, and the General Partner in proportion to the number of Units held by each such Partner; and 121 • Fifth, to the Common Limited Partners, the Profits Participation Limited Partner, and the General Partner in proportion to the number of Units held by each such Partner. In general (and subject to certain special tax and regulatory allocations), losses and deductions of KUE will be allocated to the Partners in the following priority: • First, to the Common Limited Partners, the Profits Participation Limited Partner, and the General Partner in proportion to and to the extent of their positive adjusted capital account balances; • Second, to the Common Limited Partners, the Profits Participation Limited Partner, and the General Partner in proportion to the number of Units held by each such Partner; and • Third, to the General Partner. To the extent, at the time of any distribution or income or loss allocation pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the 2/11ths portion of the Profits Participation LP Units has not then been fully allocated by KULG LLC-1 to employees, officers, directors, consultants and agents of KUE, its subsidiaries or joint ventures, then the distribution or income or loss allocation that would otherwise be attributable to such unallocated portion of the Profits Participation LP Units shall be reallocated among the Common Limited Partners and the General Partner in proportion to their Units for purposes of such distribution or income or loss allocation (including in connection with their Preferred Return). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Limited Partnership Agreement gives the General Partner the authority to override the distribution provisions of the Limitation Partnership Agreement described above in order to achieve the desired economic arrangement of KUE, which is: (i) first, to return the Partners' Capital Contributions to them; (ii) second, for the Common Limited Partners and the General Partner to receive their Preferred Return while the Profits Participation Limited Partner concurrently receives an amount equal to a fraction of the amount the Common Limited Partners and the General Partner received pursuant to their Preferred Return (such fraction to be equal to the portion of the Units held by the Profits Participation Limited Partner attributable to members of the Profits Participation Limited Partner other than the Principals), multiplied by the number of Units held by the Profits Participation Limited Partner divided by the number of outstanding Units other than those Units held by the Profits Participation Limited Partner; (Hi) third, for the Profits Participation Limited Partner to receive an amount equal to a fraction of the amount the Common Limited Partners and the General Partner received pursuant to their Preferred Return (such fraction to be equal to the portion of the Units held by the Profits Participation Limited Partner attributable to members of the Profits Participation Limited Partner who are Principals), multiplied by the number of Units held by the Profits Participation Limited Partner divided by the number of outstanding Units other than those Units held by the Profits Participation Limited Partner; and (iv) finally, for all Partners (including the Profits Participation Limited Partner) to share in the profits of the Partnership in proportion to the number of Units held by them. 14.11. Tax Distributions The General Partner may decide to make a tax distribution from KUE on or before April 1st of any year following a taxable year in which net taxable income was allocated to any Partner. If the General Partner decides to make a tax distribution, then KUE will distribute cash available for distribution, if any, to those Partners receiving an allocation of net taxable income, regardless of whether such net taxable income is actually subject to tax. The amount of net taxable income upon which such a tax distribution will be made will be based on cumulative calculation of net taxable income and net taxable loss which have been allocated to each such Partner from the inception of KUE. Any tax distributions received by a Partner will be treated as an advance and will offset against any other distributions such Partner is entitled to receive from KUE. 122 Certain Partners contributed appreciated property to KUE in exchange for their interests in KUE. Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, and in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to KUE must be allocated for tax purposes among the Partners in a manner that takes into account the variation between the adjusted basis of such property to KUE and its fair market value at the time the property was contributed to KUE. As a result of this requirement, it is possible the Partners who contributed appreciated property to KUE will be allocated more income and gains, and therefore be entitled to receive larger tax distributions under the Limited Partnership Agreement, than Partners who acquired their interests in KUE pursuant to this offering. 14.12. Fixed Overhead Payment KUE, and/or one or more of its subsidiaries will pay $20 million annually to KULG in quarterly installments beginning July 1, 2006 pursuant to the Fixed Overhead Payment Agreement as an agreed upon payment to provide for the reimbursement of expenses and other costs incurred by KULG on behalf of KUE and its subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, salaries and bonuses of KULG employees providing services to KUE and its subsidiaries, fees and expenses relating to financing transactions and acquisitions, professional fees and other administrative expenses). To the extent that the U.S. $2,500,000 fee payable pursuant to an existing management services agreement with Knowledge Learning Corporation is paid to any person or entity other than a subsidiary of KUE, the amount payable to KULG by KUE will be reduced by the amount of such payment to such other person or entity. The $20 million annual fee will terminate upon the Initial Listing or the sale of KUE to a person or entity that is not a KUE LLC Entity. 14.13. Illiquidity Period KUE will operate for a period of seven years from the date of the first closing of this offering. If there has not been an Initial Listing by the end of seven years from the date of the first closing of this offering, the Board of Directors of the General Partner will determine whether to pursue a sale of KUE or an Initial Listing (or a dual track process); provided, however, in the event that not less than 75% of the value of KUE at that time is represented by shares of securities listed on one or more recognized international securities exchanges and such shares have been or will be distributed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter to the Investors and the Investors have received distributions of cash and/or such securities valued at amounts equal to or in excess of their original capital contributions, then there will be two extensions of one year's duration each (as determined by the Board of Directors of the General Partner) in order for KUE to complete either an Initial Listing or to have the remaining value of KUE represented by shares of securities listed on a recognized international securities exchange and to distribute such shares to the Investors. If the Board determines to pursue a sale of KUE (or an Initial Listing or a dual track process), then the Principals must determine at such time whether they intend to participate as a potential bidder in the sale process. If the Principals elect not to participate as a potential bidder in a sale process, then they will not be allowed to subsequently elect to participate as a potential bidder unless the sale process does not result in a buyer at a price the Independent Committee deems to be "fair." If the sale process results in a transaction that the Independent Committee deems to be "fair", the Principals will be required to sell their entire stake in KUE (Common LP Units and Profits Participation LP Units on an "as converted" basis) on the same terms as the Investors. If the Principals elect to participate as a potential bidder in a sale process, then the sale process will be managed by the Independent Committee and the Principals will be precluded from participating in Board deliberations regarding the sale process. In addition, the Principals will be required to sell their entire stake in KUE on the same terms as the Investors to the winning bidder in the event the Principals do not submit the most attractive bid. 123 In the event that a sale of KUE or an Initial Listing has not occurred within nine years from the date the first Investors are admitted to KUE, the Independent Committee shall determine whether to pursue a sale of KUE (or an Initial Listing or a dual track process). A majority vote of the Independent Committee on this issue shall be binding on the Board of Directors of the General Partner and will require the Board of Directors of the General Partner to pursue such action within ninety (90) days. 14.14. Equal Merger Consideration Provision The Principals (through KUE LLC) and the Investors will receive the same consideration per Common LP Unit and/or Class A/Class B Shares in connection with a sale, merger, recapitalization, share repurchase, dividend, or any other transaction where all holders of Common LP Units or shares in the General Partner receive consideration with respect to their Common LP Units or shares, other than with respect to corporate restructuring transactions, such as a holding company merger, conversion of KUE from an exempted limited partnership to a corporation or other entity, change of domicile, or any other transaction that the Independent Committee determines is a "corporate restructuring." In any such corporate restructuring transaction, the Principals (through KUE LLC) may receive securities with high-voting rights and the Investors may receive securities with limited or no voting rights so long as the consideration received by the Principals (through KUE LLC) and the other Partners per Common LP Unit have substantially equivalent economic provisions, it being understood that securities with high-voting rights shall not be deemed to have a higher economic value than securities with limited or no voting rights solely by reason of the disparity in voting rights. 14.15. Related Party Transactions Related party transactions include transactions between (1) any of the Principals or any affiliates or any entity controlled by any of the Principals, and (2) KUE or any direct or indirect subsidiary or joint venture of KUE involving more than $1 million (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any merger, acquisition, asset purchase or similar transaction between KUE, its subsidiaries or joint ventures, on the one hand, and any person of which fifteen percent (15%) or more of the voting stock (or similar voting interests) is owned by KUE LLC or its affiliates, on the other hand). Related party transactions do not include (a) any transaction solely between or among KUE and any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or joint ventures in which the Principals do not have any direct or indirect ownership interest (other than as a result of their ownership in the General Partner and KUE), (b) reasonable and customary director, advisory board member, or consultant compensation and benefits (including, without limitation, retirement, health, stock option and other benefit plans) as approved by the Independent Committee, provided that any such compensation, benefits and arrangements to the Principals that do not exceed $1 million in the aggregate annually shall not be subject to such approval and customary indemnification arrangements, (c) transactions and arrangements pursuant to or contemplated by express terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement of KUE, including the "Investment in Subsidiaries" and "Co-Invest Right' described below, and any payments pursuant thereto, (d) agreements, transactions and arrangements described in "Related Party Transactions" in this Private Placement Memorandum (including any indemnification arrangements, the Fixed Overhead Payment described above and other arrangements and transactions described therein) and any amendment thereto (so long as such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Investors as a whole in any material respect) or any transaction contemplated thereby and any payments pursuant thereto, and (e) admissions of any affiliate of the Principals to KUE as a Limited Partner on terms substantially equivalent to concurrent admissions of persons that are not affiliates of the Principals. If the size of the related party transaction is greater than $1 million and equal to or less than $50 million, then either (a) the Independent Committee must approve the transaction or (b) the transaction must be approved by the holders of a majority of the Common LP Units unaffiliated with the Principals. If the size of the related party transaction is greater than $50 million, then the transaction must be approved by both (a) the Independent Committee and (b) the holders of a majority of the Common LP Units unaffiliated with the Principals. 124 14.16. Investment in Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures The Principals will agree (on behalf of themselves and their affiliates) that KUE will be their exclusive vehicle for equity investment opportunities in and acquisitions of for-profit companies engaged primarily in the business of pre-K through 12th grade education of children (other than companies in which the Principals or their affiliates directly or indirectly owns fifteen percent (15%) or more of the voting stock (or similar voting interests) as of the date of the first closing of the offering, which are LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc. and Nobel Learning Communities, Inc.). The Principals will not acquire or make an equity investment in such companies unless such acquisition or investment opportunity has been first presented to the Independent Committee and subsequently declined by the Independent Committee or initially pursued but later abandoned by KUE. For purposes of the foregoing limitation on investment, an equity investment shall not include equity securities that are (a) issued in respect of debt securities in connection with a restructuring, reorganization, sale or other similar transaction in respect of a company; (b) issued in connection with an exchange offer for debt securities; or (c) indirectly owned through a fund or other investment vehicle managed by a person other than any Principal or affiliate of a Principal. The Principals may co-invest with KUE in such companies, subject to the approval of the Independent Committee and the co-investment rights of Investors in the Limited Partnership Agreement. Not in limitation of any commitments or restrictions the Principals may have entered into, prior to an Initial Listing, KUE may not permit any of its subsidiaries or controlled joint ventures (which shall not include, for the avoidance of doubt, certain exempt companies contemplated by the above paragraph) to issue or grant any equity interests in such subsidiaries or controlled joint ventures to any of the Principals or any of their affiliates (other than KUE, its subsidiaries and controlled joint ventures) unless (i) the Independent Committee has approved and the Investors who are accredited investors (as such term is defined in Regulation D) or otherwise legally eligible to participate are offered the opportunity to participate on the same terms as the Principals and their affiliates and in proportion to their economic ownership of KUE or (ii) such subsidiary or joint venture of KUE has completed an initial listing on a recognized international securities exchange. The foregoing restrictions will not apply to the Principals and/or their affiliates: (a) exercising co-investment, purchase or other similar rights in respect of securities of K12 Inc. (including warrants and options) held by them on the first closing of this offering and in respect of securities of K12 Inc. acquired pursuant to co-investment, purchase or other similar rights exercised in accordance with this clause (a); (b) receiving securities of K12 Inc. (including warrants and options) as compensation for services in their capacity as directors (or advisory board members) of K12 Inc.; or (c) exercising or converting any warrants or options (or other securities) held as of the first closing of this offering or acquired pursuant to clause (a) or (b). The General Partner may offer co-investment opportunities to any person (except for the Principals and their affiliates other than KUE's subsidiaries and joint ventures) to invest with KUE or to invest in a subsidiary or joint venture of KUE. 14.17. Transferability The Common LP Units and the Class A Shares comprising the Units owned by the Investors will not be separately transferable, and the Units are to be transferred as a whole unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors of the General Partner and the Independent Committee. Units held by an Investor may not be sold, transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of the General Partner, not to be unreasonably withheld. During the first two years after the applicable closing of the offering, the General Partner intends to approve transfers of Units to an affiliate of the Investor in compliance with applicable law. After such time, the General Partner intends to approve transfers of the Units to an affiliate of the Investor or to another Investor (and affiliates thereof), in each case in compliance with applicable law. The General Partner also intends to approve transfers pursuant to the Tag-Along Right and Drag-Along Right provisions described below. 125 Although the Limited Partnership Agreement of KUE and the organizational documents of the General Partner permit the foregoing transfers and the General Partner has agreed with certain investors to approve such transfers, applicable Caymans Island law gives the General Partner full discretion to approve or disapprove transfers of Units in KUE. Nevertheless, if the General Partner does not approve a permitted transfer, the parties seeking to effect such transfer may have a claim against the General Partner and KUE. 14.18. Co-Invest Right Prior to the Initial Listing, if KUE proposes to issue for cash any Units or securities convertible into Units, then KUE is required to offer to each Investor that is an accredited investor (as such term is defined in Regulation D) or is otherwise legally eligible to participate in the offering the right to purchase a pro rata portion of such securities. This purchase right does not apply to (i) the first 1.5 million Units (including such number of Units issued at the first closing of this offering) issued by KUE to Investors through March 31, 2007, (ii) any public offering of Units or other securities by KUE; (iii) any issuance of Units in connection with a merger, consolidation, transfer of assets or other business combination involving KUE (or its subsidiaries or joint ventures); (iv) any issuance of Units pursuant to any unit option plan, restricted unit plan or other benefit plan, the terms of which are approved by the General Partner, provided that the aggregate amount of all Units issued pursuant to this clause (iv) (which does not include any Profits Participation LP Units) shall not exceed 10% of all Units outstanding on a fully diluted basis on the date of such issuance without the approval of the Independent Committee and shall in no event exceed 20% of all Units outstanding on a fully diluted basis on the date of such issuance; (v) any issuance of Units in connection with any loan transaction and/or equipment lease, the terms of which are approved by the General Partner; (vi) any issuance of Units pursuant to any transactions, the terms of which are approved by the General Partner primarily for the purpose of (a) joint ventures or strategic alliances, (b) development, production or distribution of the products or services of KUE, its subsidiaries or joint ventures, (c) purchase or licensing of technology, or (d) any other transactions that are primarily for purposes other than raising capital, or (vii) any issuance of Units upon conversion or exercise of any Units issued in compliance with this co-invest right provision; or (viii) any issuance of Units in connection with Unit splits or Unit dividends or reclassifications. Prior to the Initial Listing, Investors have substantially equivalent rights with respect to issuances of securities by the General Partner (with the additional exemption on the issuance of up to 10,000 additional Class B Shares to the Principals or any of their Affiliates). 14.19. Tag-Along Right A "Tag-Along Transfer" means a sale or other transfer for economic value of the Common LP Units held by KUE LLC and its affiliates (and, unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors and the Independent Committee of the General Partner, a corresponding percentage of Class A Shares held by KUE LLC) to a Person that is not KUE LLC or an affiliate ("KUE LLC Entity"). Unless an Initial Listing occurred, a Tag-Along Transfer may not be consummated unless the proposed purchaser offers to each Investor the opportunity to include a pro rata portion of such Investor's Units in the Tag-Along Transfer (at the same consideration per Unit received by the KUE LLC Entity). If the total number of Units and corresponding Class A Shares proposed to be sold to the proposed purchaser exceeds the number of Units and corresponding Class A Shares which the proposed purchaser is willing to purchase, the number of Units and corresponding Class A Shares to be sold will be reduced pro rata based on the total number of Units held by the transferor(s) initiating the Tag-Along Transfer and each participating Investor. Following the Initial Listing, the tag-along right will continue for certain Investors with respect to transfers for value of the Units (or units of the listed entity as the case may be) by the Principals or their affiliates to non-affiliates (excluding transfers on a recognized international securities exchange) above the following 126 thresholds in one or more transactions: (i) 15% of the Principals' original KUE holdings to any single buyer (or affiliates of that buyer) or (ii) 33% of the Principals' original KUE holdings in the aggregate. 14.20. Drag-Along Right A "Drag-Along Transfer' means a sale or other transfer for economic value of a majority of the Common LP Units held by KUE LLC or its affiliates (and, unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors and the Independent Committee of the General Partner, a corresponding percentage of Class A Shares held by KUE LLC). Prior to the Initial Listing, in the event of a Drag-Along Transfer of Common LP Units and corresponding Class A Shares to a proposed purchaser that is not a KUE LLC Entity (a "Proposed Drag- Along Transfer"), KUE LLC may require Investors to sell a pro rata portion (based on the percentage of Units held by KUE LLC being sold in the Proposed Drag-Along Transfer) of their Units and Class A Shares in the Proposed Drag-Along Transfer to the proposed purchaser on the same terms and conditions as KUE LLC in the Proposed Drag-Along Transfer. 14.21. Additional Listing of Investors' Units Beginning any time after six months after the Initial Listing, one or more holders holding an aggregate of $100 million of more of the Units (calculated based on the issue price) may request KUE and the General Partner to take such action as may be necessary (including regulatory and legal actions) for their Units to be freely tradable and not subject to volume restrictions on the international securities exchange on which the Initial Listing occurred; provided that no more than one such action may be required in any 12 month period and customary cut-back and other provisions will apply in any such listing or underwritten transaction, as the case may be. KUE will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such action to cover such holders and the securities of any other holders legally eligible to participate in such action. 14.22. Subsequent Capital Raising Activities 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. 14.23. Periodic Reporting; Books and Records As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year but in no event more than 180 days thereafter, each Partner will be sent audited financial statements of KUE for the prior year. These financial statements will include: (i) profit and loss statements and (ii) a balance sheet showing KUE's financial position as of the end of that fiscal year. KUE will also provide to each Partner on a semi-annual basis a report concerning KUE's operations. As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, each Partner will be furnished with all information necessary for the preparation of each Partner's U.S. Federal income tax return and a copy of KUE's federal, state, and local tax or information returns for the year. KUE will maintain at its principal place of business full and complete books and records for KUE including the following: (1) a current list of the full name and last known business or residence address of each Partner set forth in alphabetical order, together with the capital contribution and share of income and losses of each Partner; (2) a copy of the Statement filed under to Section 9 of the ELP Law and all amendments thereto; (3) copies of KUE's federal, state, and local income tax returns and reports, if any, for the six most recent taxable years, to the extent that such exist; (4) copies of the Limited Partnership Agreement and all amendments thereto; and (5) any other information required to be maintained by the ELP Law. Upon the request of a Partner, the General Partner will promptly deliver to the requesting Partner, at the expense of KUE, a copy of the information listed in the foregoing sentence. 127 The General Partner will provide such periodic reports if engaged in any business other than acting as General Partner of KUE or if it owns any material assets other than an interest in KUE. 14.24. Indemnification KUE will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner, and its members, officers, directors, and employees, and at the General Partner's discretion, any other person providing services to KUE, its subsidiaries or joint ventures, (Indemnified Persons") from and against loss because of any action performed by them on behalf of KUE or of the failure to take any action on behalf of KUE, unless such loss resulted from the Indemnified Person acting in bad faith or the willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person, or a material breach of the Limited Partnership Agreement by such Indemnified Person. Indemnified persons may receive advances or be reimbursed for their expenses. 14.25. Amendment of the Limited Partnership Agreement Generally, the Limited Partnership Agreement may be amended with the consent of the General Partner. Subject to the exceptions specified in the Limited Partnership Agreement, amendments adversely affecting the Common LP Units may not be effected without a majority of the votes represented by Units held by Investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner, acting reasonably and in good faith, may amend the Limited Partnership Agreement without the consent of any Limited Partner (a) to correct any typographical or similar ministerial errors; (b) to delete or add any provision required to be so deleted or added by applicable law or any government official having jurisdiction over KUE; (c) to cure any mistake or ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein; (d) to take such actions as may be necessary Cif any) to ensure that KUE will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (e) to reflect the admission of any additional Limited Partner and otherwise to reflect such admission or an additional investment by a Limited Partner on the books and records of KUE pursuant to the General Partner's power of attorney; (f) to take such actions as may be necessary (if any) to ensure that neither of KUE or the General Partner (or any subsidiary of the foregoing) will be subject to regulation under ERISA or the Investment Company Act; (g) to take such actions as may be necessary (if any) to ensure that the General Partner (or any Subsidiary) will not be subject to the Investment Advisers Act; (h) to reflect any increase in the number of Profits Participation LP Units approved by the Independent Committee and related changes in allocation and distribution provision; (i) to make changes negotiated with Limited Partners admitted in any subsequent closing of the offering, so long as such changes do not, in the good faith determination of the General Partner and with the approval of the Independent Committee, adversely affect the rights, obligations and economic interests of the existing Limited Partners; and a) to the extent necessary to give effect to partnership interests issued to additional Limited Partners after the Offering Period. The General Partner shall provide prompt written notice of any such amendments to the Limited Partners. 14.26. Confidentiality Each Investor is subject to an obligation to keep KUE related information confidential, subject to limited exceptions. KUE or the General Partner will be entitled to enforce such obligations and take such actions to maintain the confidentiality of KUE related information, including without limitation withholding any periodic or financial reports (with the approval of the Independent Committee) from an Investor that has violated its confidentiality obligations. 128 14.27. Jurisdiction Any actions or proceedings under the Limited Partnership Agreement or with respect to the General Partners or this offering and the related agreements are subject to binding arbitration in London, United Kingdom. 14.28. Limitation of Participation Under circumstances where the continuing participation in KUE by an Investor would have a material adverse effect on KUE or a subsidiary, the General Partner may cause an Investor's interest in KUE to be redeemed or transferred. 14.29. United States Trade or Business The General Partner will use its reasonable best efforts not to cause or allow KUE to engage in or invest (other than through an entity that is not a pass-through entity) in a pass-through entity (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that engages in: (i) any commercial activities within the meaning of Section 892(a)(2) of the Code, or (fi) any activity which constitutes the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and generates income which constitutes "effectively connected income" in the hands of a non-U.S. Limited Partner. KUE will not take a position in any United States federal or state income tax return that KUE is engaged in a trade or business in the United States that causes the non-U.S. Limited Partners to have income which constitutes "effectively connected income" in the hands of non-U.S. Limited Partners. In addition, the General Partner will use its reasonable best efforts to cause KUE not to invest in a U.S. real property interest described in Section 897(c)(1 )(A)(i) or the Code. The General Partner may, in its discretion, form a separate investment entity to pursue any investment opportunity that is unavailable to KUE by reason of the foregoing, and may offer co-investment opportunities to the Partners eligible to participate in such opportunities in proportion to their Units or on such other reasonable basis as the General Partner may determine. EACH PROSPECTIVE NON-U.S. LIMITED PARTNER SHOULD REVIEW THE SECTION ENTITLED "CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES" AND CONSULT ITS TAX AND OTHER ADVISORS IN DETERMINING THE POSSIBLE TAX, EXCHANGE CONTROL OR OTHER CONSEQUENCES TO IT UNDER THE LAWS OF THE U.S. AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS OF WHICH IT IS A CITIZEN, RESIDENT OR DOMICILIARY, IN WHICH IT CONDUCTS BUSINESS OR IN WHICH IT OTHERWISE MAY BE SUBJECT TO TAX, OF THE PURCHASE AND OWNERSHIP OF UNITS. 14.30. Term of KUE; Term of the General Partner The term of KUE will be indefinite, unless terminated earlier as provided for below. The term of the General Partner will be indefinite, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Organizational Documents. The following events will cause the dissolution of KUE: • The withdrawal, dissolution, bankruptcy, or resignation of a General Partner, unless the business of KUE is continued by the election of a new General Partner by the vote of a majority in number of the Units held by Common Limited Partners within 90 days of the happening of such event; 129 • The agreement of the General Partner and the holders of a majority of the Units held by the Limited Partners holding Common LP Units; • The sale or distribution of all or substantially all of KUE's assets; or • As otherwise provided by law. If KUE is dissolved and not reconstituted and continued, the General Partner is then required to wind up the affairs of KUE and to liquidate and sell its assets in an orderly manner. Upon the winding up and termination of the business and affairs of KUE, its assets (other than cash) will be sold, its liabilities and obligations to creditors and all expenses incurred in its liquidation will be paid. The net proceeds from such sales (after deducting all selling costs and expenses in connection therewith) and any released reserves will then be distributed to the Partners in accordance with "— Distributions" by the later of the end of the taxable year of KUE which includes the liquidation date or the 90th day following the liquidation date. KUE property will not be distributed in kind to the Partners upon the dissolution and termination of KUE unless otherwise agreed by the General Partner. 130 15. MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLANS AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS Certain key terms of the following incentive plans and employment agreements of the Company, which are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to any underlying documentation as applicable, are outlined below. Copies of such documentation have been provided or are available upon request and the summaries below are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documentation. 15.1. Long Term Incentive Plan and Agreements of Knowledge Learning Corporation Effective as of December 6, 2005, KLC put in place a long term incentive plan ("LTIP") for officers, employees or consultants, providing for incentive compensation payments based upon the achievement of certain performance criteria determined by KLC's Compensation Committee. Under the terms of the long term incentive award agreements entered into with eligible recipients pursuant to the LTIP, if the recipient is terminated by KLC without cause after the first year of any 3-year performance cycle, the first of which begins in 2006, or upon death, permanent disability or retirement after the first 6 months of any performance cycle, the recipient is eligible to receive a pro rata portion of any incentive award earned. The recipient is also eligible to receive a pro rata portion of any incentive award earned in the event of a sale of KLC or a termination of the LTIP. 15.2. Profits Interest Grants KUE expects to grant profits interests in KUE to its (or its subsidiary's) present and future officers, directors, employees and consultants, aggregating up to 2% of KUE's aggregate profits, subject to increases approved by the Independent Committee. Such grants would be dilutive to the holders of Units. 15.3. Stock Appreciation Rights Plan of Knowledge Schools, Inc. KSI established a stock appreciation rights ("SAR") plan for directors, officers, employees or consultants of KSI and its subsidiaries on April 25, 2004, pursuant to which a maximum number of 18,410 phantom shares (which may be converted to options) may be granted and an equivalent of 4,353.860 phantom shares are issued and outstanding. SARs may be granted under the plan until April 24, 2014 and shall vest and become exercisable as set forth in the holder's SAR agreement. These phantom shares will provide the holders with the appreciation in value of the equivalent of 1.6% of KSI's equity (after payment of $7.8 million to KLC's departing chief executive officer in settlement of his SARs, and based on 273,904.89884 shares as of April 28, 2006). Beginning in 2006, incentive compensation at the KLC level to management will be made through the LTIP described above, while directors of KSI may continue to be granted SAR. 15.4. Stock Option Grants by Knowledge Schools, Inc. Les Biller and Stephen Goldsmith have been granted options to purchase an aggregate of 3,412.6 shares of common stock of KSI. Les Biller is on the Advisory Board of KUE and a director of KSI. Stephen Goldsmith is the Senior Vice President of Strategic Planning & Worldwide Government Programs for KUE and a director of KS!. KSI may issue similar options from time to time. 15.5. Employment Agreements With one exception, the Company's executives do not have long-term employment agreements. KLC entered into an employment agreement with Elanna Yalow as of August 1, 2004 with an employment term 131 of three years, unless terminated earlier. She serves as KLC's President and COO with a fixed annual base salary of $300,000 plus bonuses, as well as stock appreciation rights. If KLC terminates Ms. Yalow's employment at any time, other than for death, disability or cause, KLC is required to pay as severance, Ms. Yalow's base compensation for the balance of the severance period. In case of termination after expiration of the employment term, KLC is required to pay, in addition to the severance pay, unpaid base compensation earned as of the date of termination. In connection with employment arrangements for newly hired officers (including Peter Maslen, Derek Feng and Kal Raman), the Company is providing equity-based compensation in amounts to be agreed, which will be subject to customary terms and conditions. 15.6. KULG Arrangements Certain of the executives providing services to KUE and its subsidiaries are employees and officers of, or consultants to, KULG. Stephen Goldsmith, Senior Vice President of KULG, has a three-year employment agreement beginning February 1, 2005, terminable at will by KULG or Mr. Goldsmith, subject to severance benefits in certain circumstances and death and disability benefits. The agreement provides for a $500,000 annual salary and targeted $250,000 discretionary bonus. Nina Rees, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives of KULG, has an employment agreement terminable by her or KULG with 90 days' notice and providing an annual salary of $180,000 plus a discretionary bonus. Ted Sanders has a 24- month consulting agreement with KULG beginning March 1, 2005 pursuant to which he receives consulting fees at a $25,000 annual rate for the first 12 months and a $35,000 annual rate for the second 12 months. All of these amounts, together with the compensation of other KULG employees providing services to KUE will be paid from the annual overhead expense payment KUE will pay to KULG, as described in "Related Party Transactions." 132 16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Certain key terms of the following related party transactions of the Company, which are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to their respective underlying documentation as applicable, are outlined below. Copies of such documentation have been provided or are available upon request, and the summaries below are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documentation. 16.1.

Following the closing, the buyer contributed the stock of ESI to KSI in exchange for $5.5 million of preferred stock of KSI, and KSI contributed ESI to KLC. In connection with the KinderCare acquisition, KSI redeemed the preferred stock (including accrued dividends) for $5.6 million. 134 16.10. Indebtedness of KUE with affiliates The proceeds of the $150 million term loan facility that KUE entered into on March 29, 2006 with an affiliate of Credit Suisse, one of the Agents (as described in "Knowledge Universe Education (KUE) — Term Loan Facility"), were used to repay existing debt of KUE to entities controlled by Michael Milken. 16.11. k12 An affiliate of Michael Milken and Lowell Milken owns the k12 trademark and related domain names, and licenses them to k12 for $25,000 annually pursuant to a perpetual license.

Condors LLC Condors LLC, substantially all of which is owned by the Principals, is the lender under the Junior Mezzanine Loan entered into in connection with the new CMBS financing. 135 17. ELIGIBLE INVESTORS 17.1. UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 The Units will not be registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and will not be registered under the securities laws of any jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Units are initially being offered and sold only to "accredited investors." Each investor is required to enter into a Subscription Agreement to purchase the Units. In the Subscription Agreement, it will be required to represent, among other customary private placement representations, as follows: • that it is an "accredited investor" (as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act); • that it has carefully read and understood this Memorandum and the organizational documents of KUE in their entirety and that it has relied on such documents in making its investment decision; • that it has had an opportunity to receive answers from KUE to its questions regarding the Units and other matters pertaining to its investment, and it has obtained all additional information it has requested from KUE to verify the accuracy of the information furnished to it; • that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Units and of making an informed investment decision with respect thereto; • that its financial situation is such that it can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Units as an illiquid investment for an indefinite period of time, and it can afford to suffer the complete loss of its investment; • that it is acquiring the Units for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or distribution; and • that it understands that it must bear the economic risk of an investment in the Units for an indefinite period of time. In the Subscription Agreement, each investor will be required to represent whether or not it is a U.S. Person or non-U.S. Person (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act). Each non-U.S. Person will be required to represent: • whether it is purchasing the Units in an offshore transaction within the meaning of Regulation S; and • that it is eligible to purchase the Units under the laws applicable to it. 136 A copy of the form of the Subscription Agreement will be provided. Each investor should carefully read the Subscription Agreement in its entirety so as to fully understand the representations and warranties it is required to make pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. The Units cannot be resold or otherwise transferred unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws, or exemptions from such registration requirements are available. It is not contemplated that registration of the Units under the Securities Act or other securities laws will ever be effected. There is no public market for the Units, and none is expected to develop. Therefore, an investor that purchases the Units may be required to hold the Units for an indefinite period of time. The Units, if certificated, will bear a legend describing such transfer limitations. 17.2. United States Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 An investment in the Units and the underlying Common LP Units and Class A Shares by certain U.S. employee benefit plans is subject to additional considerations because the investments of such plans are subject to the fiduciary responsibility and prohibited transaction provisions of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and restrictions imposed by Section 4975 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "IRC"). For these purposes the term "employee benefit plan" includes, but is not limited to, qualified pension, profit-sharing and stock bonus plans, Keogh plans, simplified employee pension plans and tax deferred annuities or IRAs established or maintained by an employer or employee organization. Among other things, such employee benefit plans should give consideration to: • whether the investment is prudent under ERISA. • whether in making the investment, that plan will satisfy the diversification requirements of ERISA; and • whether the investment will result in recognition of unrelated business taxable income by the plan and, if so, the potential after-tax investment return. The person with investment discretion with respect to the assets of an employee benefit plan, often called a fiduciary, should also determine whether an investment in the Units and the underlying Common LP Units and Class A Shares is authorized by the appropriate governing instrument and is a proper investment for the plan. Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the IRC also prohibit employee benefit plans, and also IRAs that are not considered part of an employee benefit plan, from engaging in specified transactions involving "plan assets" with parties that are "parties in interest" under ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the IRC with respect to the plan. In addition to considering whether the purchase of Units and the Common LP Units and Class A Shares is a prohibited transaction, a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan should consider whether the plan will, by making such an investment, be deemed to own an undivided interest in the assets of KUE or the General Partner, with the result that KUE or the General Partner would be subject to the regulatory restrictions of ERISA, including its prohibited transaction rules, as well as the prohibited transaction rules of the IRC. The U.S. Department of Labor regulations under ERISA provide guidance with respect to whether the assets of an entity in which employee benefit plans acquire equity interests would be deemed "plan assets" under some circumstances. Under these regulations, an entity's assets would not be considered to be "plan assets" if, among other things: (a) the equity interests acquired by employee benefit plans are publicly offered securities, i.e., the equity interests are widely held by 100 or more investors independent of the 137 issuer and each other, freely transferable and registered under some provisions of the federal securities laws; (b) the entity is an "operating company," meaning it is primarily engaged in the production or sale of a product or service other than the investment of capital either directly or through a majority-owned subsidiary or subsidiaries; or (c) the entity is a "venture capital operating company," meaning that at least 50% of its assets, determined on certain testing dates, are invested in operating companies with respect to which the entity has contractual management rights which the entity actually exercises in the ordinary course of its business; or (d) there is no significant investment by benefit plan investors, which is defined to mean that less than 25% of the value of each class of equity interest is held by the employee benefit plans referred to above, IRAs and other employee benefit plans not subject to ERISA, including U.S. and non-U.S. governmental plans. The General Partner intends to operate the General Partner and KUE in such fashion that, for purposes of the plan asset regulations, the assets of KUE and the General Partner will not be considered assets of any plan investing in KUE and the General Partner. The Limited Partnership Agreement (and the organizational documents of the General Partner) will confer on the General Partner (and the Principals) the authority to take any action necessary or desirable in order to prevent Company assets and General Partner assets from being considered to be plan assets, including the authority to restructure any aspects of KUE and the authority to cause the redemption or sale of Units held by some or all plan investors. KUE is considering whether and to what extent to permit plan investors to invest in the Units. Due to the complexity of the applicable rules and the penalties imposed upon persons involved in prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that potential purchasers that are plans consult with their counsel regarding the consequences under ERISA of their acquisition and ownership of the Units. Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) and certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) are not subject to ERISA requirements but may be subject to analogous provisions under applicable state, local or non-U.S. law. 17.3. Anti-Money Laundering — Cayman Islands In order to comply with regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering in any applicable jurisdictions, the General Partner and KUE are required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering procedures, and may require prospective investors to provide evidence to verify their identity. Accordingly, the General Partner (and its directors) reserve the right to request such information as they consider necessary to verify the identity of a prospective investor. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions, the General Partner and KUE may also delegate the maintenance of its anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information) to a suitable person. The General Partner (and its directors) may refuse to accept any subscription application if a prospective investor delays in producing or fails to produce any information required by the General Partner (and its directors) for the purpose of verification and, in that event, any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which the moneys were originally debited. The General Partner and KUE also reserve the right to refuse to make any redemption payment to a shareholder of the General Partner or a partner of KUE, as applicable, if they suspect or are advised that the payment of redemption proceeds to such person might result in a breach of applicable anti-money laundering or other laws or regulations by any person in any relevant jurisdiction, or if such refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure the compliance by the General Partner and KUE with any such laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction. 138 If any person resident in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects that another person is engaged in money laundering or is involved with terrorism or terrorist property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of their business the person will be required to report such belief or suspicion to either the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Criminal Conduct Law (2005 Revision) if the disclosure relates to money laundering or to a police officer of the rank of constable or higher if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist property, pursuant to the Terrorism Law. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise. 17.4. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act The General Partner, KUE, its subsidiaries and joint ventures intend to comply with applicable provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") in connection with their business activities worldwide. The FCPA prohibits corrupt payments to foreign officials, (including any officer or employee of a foreign government, a public international organization, or any department or agency thereof, or any person acting in an official capacity, regardless of rank or position), parties or candidates to obtain or retain business or securing any improper advantage and the FCPA prohibits paying, offering, promising to pay, directly or indirectly, money or anything of value in connection therewith. Investors will be required to provide information on whether they are foreign officials, and confirm that they have not paid, offered to pay or promised to pay and do not intend to pay, offer to pay or promise to pay, directly or indirectly, money or anything of value to any foreign official, party or candidate to obtain or retain business (whether with a government or agency or instrumentality thereof or otherwise) for or on behalf of KUE, its subsidiaries or joint ventures or to secure an improper advantage for KUE or its subsidiaries or joint ventures in any country. 139 18. CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES The following summary of the taxation of KUE and the taxation of the Partners of KUE is based upon current law and does not purport to be a comprehensive discussion of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase Units. Legislative, judicial or administrative changes may be forthcoming that could affect this summary. TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS, WE ADVISE YOU THAT: (i) ANY DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX ISSUES CONTAINED HEREIN IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON, BY INVESTORS FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING TAX-RELATED PENALTIES UNDER THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OR APPLICABLE STATE OR LOCAL TAX LAW PROVISIONS; (ii) SUCH DISCUSSION IS BEING USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING (WITHIN THE MEANING OF TREASURY REGULATIONS) BY THE COMPANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; (iii) INVESTORS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS (INCLUDING ALL NON-U.S. PERSONS AS DEFINED BELOW) SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF OWNING COMMON LP UNITS UNDER THE LAWS OF THEIR COUNTRIES OF CITIZENSHIP, RESIDENCE, ORDINARY RESIDENCE, OR DOMICILE. 18.1. Cayman Taxation There is, at present, no direct taxation in the Cayman Islands. The Government of the Cayman Islands, will not, under existing legislation, impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax, or withholding tax upon KUE, its partners, the General Partner, or its shareholders. Similarly interest, dividends and gains payable to KUE and all distributions by KUE to its partners will be received free of any Cayman Islands income or withholding taxes. KUE has registered as an exempted limited partnership under Cayman Islands law and KUE has received an undertaking from the Governor-in-Cabinet of the Cayman Islands to the effect that, for a period of 50 years from the date of the undertaking, no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits or income or gains or appreciations shall apply to KUE or to any partner of KUE in respect of the operations or assets of KUE or the interest of a partner in KUE; and may further provide that any such taxes or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall not be payable in respect of the obligations of KUE or the interests of the partners in KUE. The General Partner of KUE has registered as an exempted company under Cayman Islands law and the General Partner has received an undertaking from the Governor-in-Cabinet of the Cayman Islands that, in accordance with section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law (1999 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable (i) on the shares of the General Partner or (fi) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by the General Partner to its shareholders. The Cayman Islands does not have a double tax treaty with the United States or any other country. 140 18.2. United States Federal Income Taxation The following summary sets forth the material U.S. federal income tax considerations related to the purchase, ownership, and disposition of Common LP Units. Unless otherwise stated, this summary deals only with partners that are U.S. Persons (as defined below) who purchase their Common LP Units in this offering and who hold their Common LP Units as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. The following discussion is only a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax matters as described herein and does not purport to address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular Limited Partner of KUE ("Limited Partner") in light of such Limited Partner's specific circumstances. In addition, except as expressly stated, the following summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to special classes of Limited Partners who may be subject to special rules or treatment under the Code, such as financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, partnerships, or other pass- through entities, dealers or traders in securities, tax-exempt organizations, expatriates, any person who owns or is deemed to own, for U.S. federal income tax purpose, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of voting stock of the corporate subsidiaries of KUE, persons that have a "functional currency" other than the United States dollar, and any individual who is a non-U.S. Person (as defined below) and who is present in the U.S. for 183 days or more in a taxable year. This discussion does not include any description of the tax laws of any state or local governments within the U.S. No ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS regarding any matter discussed herein. Counsel to KUE has not rendered any legal opinion regarding any tax consequences relating to KUE or an investment in KUE. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the positions taken by KUE as set forth below. For purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. Person" means (1) a citizen or resident of the U.S., (2) a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of any State of the U.S. (including the District of Columbia), (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, (4) a trust if either (a) a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust or (b) the trust has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (5) any other person or entity that is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if it were one of the foregoing. The term "non-U.S. Person" means any person other than a U.S. Person. 18.2.1 United States Federal Income Taxation of KUE and its Subsidiaries Partnership Status of KUE. KUE believes that it should be classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, KUE is not a taxable entity and incurs no U.S. federal income tax liability. Instead, each Partner will be allocated its share of KUE's income or loss, as the case may be, for United States federal income tax purposes as set forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement. In addition, each U.S. Partner's share of income or loss from KUE generally will be required to be includable in income for state and local tax purposes in the jurisdiction in which the investor is a resident and in the jurisdictions in which KUE operates. Each U.S. Partner will be responsible for paying the income tax on that portion of KUE's income allocated to such investor. No assurances can be given that any cash distribution will be made from KUE to the partners to pay such income tax liabilities. Under the Code, certain non-U.S corporations may be treated as U.S. corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, thereby subjecting such non-U.S. corporations to U.S. federal income tax on their income. Recently enacted U.S. tax legislation includes one such provision. Under this legislation, referred to as the anti-inversion legislation, non-U.S. corporations that acquire interests in a U.S. corporation or partnership and meet certain ownership, operational and other tests may be treated as U.S. corporations for federal income tax purposes. The legislation grants broad regulatory authority to the U.S. Secretary of Treasury to provide such regulations as may be appropriate to determine whether a non-U.S. corporation is treated as a U.S. corporation or as are necessary to carry out the intent of the provision, including adjusting its application as necessary to prevent the avoidance of its purpose. Recently issued 141 Treasury regulations provide that the anti-inversion legislation is applicable to a foreign partnership that is or becomes a "publicly traded partnership" within two years of the acquisition by it of a U.S. corporation. A "publicly traded partnership" is any partnership (i) interests in which are traded on an established securities market, or (ii) interests in which are readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof). KUE believes that it is not currently a publicly traded partnership and does not intend to become a publicly traded partnership within two years of this offering or the acquisition of KLC and k12. As a result, KUE does not believe the anti-inversion legislation or any regulations promulgated within the scope of the legislation's regulatory authority should apply to KUE although no assurance can be given in this regard or with respect to any new acquisitions of or investment in U.S. corporations. In addition, KUE does not believe that any other Code provision subjecting non-U.S. corporations to U.S. federal income tax should apply to KUE or its subsidiaries, although no assurance can be given in this regards. The promulgation of contrary regulations or a successful challenge of either of these positions by the Internal Revenue Service could materially reduce a holder's after-tax return and, thus, could result in a substantial reduction of the value of the Units. The remainder of this section assumes that KUE will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 18.2.2 United States Federal Income Taxation of Partners U.S. Persons Allocation of Purchase Price. You will be treated as purchasing a Unit consisting of two components, one Common LP Unit and one GP Share. Your purchase price for each Unit will be allocated between one Common LP Unit and one GP Share in proportion to their relative fair market values at the time of your purchase, and this allocation will establish your initial tax basis in both your ownership interest in the Common LP Unit and your GP Share. We will treat the fair market value of each Common LP Share at $999 and the fair market value of each GP Share as $1. Flow-Through of Taxable Income. KUE will not pay any U.S. federal income tax. Instead, each Partner will be required to report on its income tax return its allocable share (as determined pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement) of KUE's income, gains, losses, and deductions without regard to whether corresponding cash distributions are made. The Limited Partnership Agreement authorizes the General Partner to override the allocation provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement and allocate income, gains, losses and deductions of KUE to the Partners in a manner that achieves the desired economic arrangement of KUE, which is to return each Partner's capital contribution and then for all Partners (including the holder of Profits Participation LP Units) to share in the profits of KUE in proportion to the number of Units held by them. The IRS may challenge the manner in which income, gains, losses and deductions are allocated to holders of Common LP Units, the General Partner and holders of the Profits Participation LP Units under the Limited Partnership Agreement. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, allocation of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction to a partner in a partnership will be given effect so long as the allocation has "substantial economic effect," or is otherwise in accordance with the partner's interest in the partnership. If an allocation of an item pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement does not satisfy this standard or is deemed not to satisfy this standard by the IRS, it will be reallocated by the IRS among the Partners on the basis of their respective interests in KUE (as determined by the IRS), taking into account all facts and circumstances. In such a case, holders of Common LP Units could have additional tax liabilities or suffer adverse tax consequences. Treatment of Cash Distributions. KUE's distributions to a Partner generally will not be taxable to the Partner for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of such Partner's adjusted tax basis in its Common LP Units immediately before the distribution. Cash distributions in excess of a Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis generally will be considered to be gain from the sale or exchange of the Common LP Units. Any reduction in a Limited Partner's share of KUE's liabilities, if any, for which no Partner bears the 142 economic risk of loss, known as "nonrecourse liabilities," will be treated as a deemed distribution of cash to that Partner. A decrease in a Partner's percentage interest in KUE because of KUE's issuance of additional limited partner units ("Limited Partner Units") would decrease such Partner's share of Company nonrecourse liabilities, if any, and thus would result in a corresponding deemed distribution of cash. Treatment of In-Kind Distributions. KUE's distribution of property (other than cash) to a Partner generally will not be taxable to the Partner unless the property is a "marketable security" and the exceptions to the requirement for recognition of gain upon distributions of marketable securities do not apply. Marketable securities, for these purposes, include actively traded securities or equity interests in another entity that are readily convertible into or exchangeable for cash or other marketable securities. If the distributed property constitutes a marketable security, the property would be treated as cash and the Partner would recognize gain, but not loss, to the extent described above. Basis of Common LP Units. A Limited Partner will have an initial tax basis for its Common LP Units equal to the amount it paid for the Common LP Units plus its share of Company nonrecourse liabilities, if any. That basis will be increased by the Limited Partner's share of Company income and by any increases in its share of Company nonrecourse liabilities, if any. That basis will be decreased, but not below zero, by distributions from KUE, by the Limited Partner's share of KUE losses, by any decrease in its share of Company nonrecourse liabilities, if any, and by its share of Company expenditures that are not deductible in computing KUE's taxable income and are not required to be capitalized. Limitations on Deductibility of Company Losses. The deduction by a Limited Partner of its share of Company losses will be limited to the adjusted tax basis in its Common LP Units. Limited Partners should be aware that they could be subject to various other limitations on their ability to deduct their allocable shares of Company losses (or items of deductions). Such limitations include, but are not limited to, those relating to "investment interest" expense under Section 163(d) of the Code, "miscellaneous itemized deductions" under Section 67 of the Code, certain other itemized deductions of high income individuals under Section 68 of the Code, the "at risk" rules under Section 465 of the Code, and the deductibility of capital losses under the Code. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors with respect to the potential application of such rules to their particular situation. Allocation of Income, Gain, Loss, and Deduction. If KUE has a net profit or net loss, its items of income, gain, loss, and deduction will be allocated among the Partners in accordance with the provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement. Dispositions of Common LP Units — Recognition of Gain or Loss. A Limited Partner will recognize gain or loss on a sale of Common LP Units equal to the difference between the amount realized and the Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis for the Common LP Units sold. A Limited Partner's amount realized will be measured by the sum of cash or the fair market value of other property received plus its share of Company nonrecourse liabilities, if any. Generally, gain or loss recognized by a Limited Partner on the sale or exchange of Common LP Units will be taxable as capital gain or loss and as long-term capital gain or loss if the Common LP Units were held for more than twelve months. Non-U.S. Persons Withholding. Ownership of Common LP Units by non-U.S. Persons raises special U.S. federal income tax considerations. To the extent that KUE receives dividends from a U.S. subsidiary, distributions of such dividend income to Limited Partners who are non-U.S. Persons will be subject to U.S. withholding at a rate of 30%. Certain countries have tax treaties with the U.S. that reduce or eliminate the withholding requirement. To the extent that KUE receives dividends from a non-U.S. subsidiary, distributions of such dividend income to Limited Partners who are non-U.S. Persons will not be subject to U.S. tax, unless such income were deemed to be effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by KUE in the U.S. KUE will be required to pay withholding tax with respect to the portion of KUE's income that is "effectively connected" with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business and which is allocable to non-U.S. Persons. Any amounts KUE is required to remit to taxing authorities will be treated as a distribution to the Partner on whose behalf the withholding is being paid and will be charged against current and/or future 143 distributions such Partner would otherwise be entitled to. If KUE is required to withhold on amounts in excess of cash distributions, Partners shall be required to contribute to KUE cash in an amount by which such required withholding exceeds any such distributions. Gain on Sale. A Limited Partner that is a non-U.S. Person will be subject to U.S. federal income tax upon the sale or exchange of its Common LP Units to the extent that such Limited Partner recognizes gain upon such sale or exchange and such gain is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. U.S. Real Property Holding Corporation. If a direct U.S. subsidiary of KUE is or were to become a "United States Real Property Holding Corporation," or "USRPHC" (as defined below), certain disposition of Common LP Units by a Limited Partner that is a non-U.S. Person would result in such Limited Partner being subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of the portion of the gain recognized on such disposition that is attributable to such subsidiary. In addition, if a direct U.S. subsidiary of KUE is or were to become a USRPHC, certain dispositions of such subsidiary by KUE would result in Limited Partners who are non-U.S. Persons being subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of their allocable share of the gain recognized by KUE on such disposition. Generally, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its "U.S. real property interests" equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. KUE believes that each of its direct U.S. subsidiaries is not currently a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, no assurances can be given in this regard. Furthermore, it is possible that in the future one of KUE's subsidiaries may become a USRPHC if, for example, the value of the U.S. real estate holdings of such subsidiary increases sufficiently. Limited Partners that are non-U.S. Persons are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of the USRPHC rules to their investment in KUE. Administrative Matters Backup Withholding. For each calendar year, KUE will report to its U.S. Partners and to the Internal Revenue Service the amount of distributions that it pays, and the amount of tax (if any) that it withholds on these distributions. Under the backup withholding rules, a U.S. Limited Partner may be subject to backup withholding tax with respect to distributions unless a Limited Partner: (i) is a corporation or comes within another exempt category and demonstrates this fact when required or (U) provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding tax and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding tax rules. Exempt Limited Partners who are U.S. Persons should indicate their exempt status on a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN. Backup withholding is not an additional tax, the amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Limited Partner will be allowed as a credit against such Limited Partner's U.S. federal income tax liability. Nominee Reporting. Persons who hold an interest in KUE as a nominee for another Person are required to furnish to KUE: (a) the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of the beneficial owner and the nominee, (b) whether the beneficial owner is: (1) a person that is not a U.S. Person, (2) a foreign government, an international organization, or any wholly-owned agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, or (3) a tax-exempt entity; (c) the amount and description of the Limited Partner Units held, acquired, or transferred for the beneficial owner, and 144 (d) specific information including the dates of acquisitions and transfers, means of acquisitions and transfers, and acquisition cost for purchases, as well as the amount of net proceeds from sales. Filing Requirements. Limited Partners who are U.S. Persons will be required to file an IRS Form 8865 with the Partner's U.S. Federal Income tax return for the taxable year in which the Limited Partner purchases the Common LP Units. Investors who are U.S. Persons may, depending upon the size of their investment in the General Partner, be required to file an IRS Form 5471 with the investor's U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the investor purchases Common LP ordinary shares in the General Partner. Additionally, depending on the type of non-U.S. investments KUE makes, investors who are U.S. Persons may be required to file additional IRS Forms such as a Form 5471 in subsequent years. This discussion of tax consequences and tax withholding is a general discussion and is not intended to be all inclusive nor a substitute for careful tax planning. Accordingly, each prospective purchaser of Common LP Units is urged to consult with their own tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situation. 145 19.
