| 3.1 | The General Partner has been duly registered as a foreign company under Part IX of the Companies Law and is in good standing with the Registrar of Companies under the laws of the Cayman Islands. |

| 3.3 | The execution, delivery and performance of a Guarantee by the Partnership and upon the authorisation, execution and unconditional delivery of such Guarantee by the General Partner acting in its capacity as general partner of the
                Partnership, such Guarantee will have been duly executed and delivered by the Partnership and will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Partnership enforceable in accordance with its terms. | 
| 4 | Qualifications | 
| 4.1 | The obligations assumed by the Partnership under the Partnership Agreement will not necessarily be enforceable in all circumstances in accordance with their terms.  In particular: | 
| (a) | enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation, readjustment of debts or moratorium or other laws of general application relating to, protecting, or affecting the rights of creditors; | 
| (b) | enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity.  For example, equitable remedies such as specific performance may not be available, inter alia, where damages are considered to be an adequate remedy; | 
| (c) | some claims may become barred under relevant statutes of limitation or may be or become subject to defences of set off, counterclaim, estoppel and similar defences; | 
| (d) | where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, they may not be enforceable in the Cayman Islands to the extent that performance would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction; | 
| (e) | the courts of the Cayman Islands have jurisdiction to give judgment in the currency of the relevant obligation and statutory rates of interest payable upon judgments will vary according to the currency of the judgment.  If the
                Partnership becomes insolvent or the partners are made subject to an insolvency proceeding, the courts of the Cayman Islands will require all debts to be proved in a common currency, which is likely to be the “functional currency” of the
                Partnership determined in accordance with applicable accounting principles. Currency indemnity provisions have not been tested, so far as we are aware, in the courts of the Cayman Islands; | 
| (f) | arrangements that constitute penalties, generally, will not be enforceable; Under the Law, however, those provisions of the Partnership Agreement which provide that where the General Partner or Limited Partner fails to perform any of its
                obligations under, or otherwise breaches the provisions of, the Partnership Agreement the General Partner or Partner may be subject to or suffer remedies for, or consequences of, the failure or breach specified in the Partnership Agreement
                or otherwise applicable under any law then those remedies or consequences shall not be unenforceable solely on the basis that they are penal in nature; | 
| (g) | enforcement may be prevented by reason of fraud, coercion, duress, undue influence, misrepresentation, public policy or mistake or limited by the doctrine of frustration of contracts; | 
| (h) | provisions imposing confidentiality obligations may be overridden by compulsion of applicable law or the requirements of legal and/or regulatory process; | 
| (i) | the courts of the Cayman Islands may decline to exercise jurisdiction in relation to substantive proceedings brought under or in relation to the Partnership Agreement in matters where they determine that such proceedings may be tried in
                a more appropriate forum; | 
| (j) | any provision in a document which is governed by Cayman Islands law purporting to impose obligations on a person who is not a party to such document (a “third party”)
                is unenforceable against that third party. Any provision in a document which is governed by Cayman Islands law purporting to grant rights to a third party is unenforceable by that third party, except to the extent that such document
                expressly provides that the third party may, in its own right, enforce such rights (subject to and in accordance with the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands); | 
| (k) | any provision of a document which is governed by Cayman Islands law which expresses any matter to be determined by future agreement may be void or unenforceable;  and | 
| (l) | we reserve our opinion as to the enforceability of the relevant provisions of the Partnership Agreement to the extent that they purport to grant exclusive jurisdiction as there may be circumstances in which the courts of the Cayman
                Islands would accept jurisdiction notwithstanding such provisions. | 
| 4.2 | Applicable court fees will be payable in respect of the enforcement of the Partnership Agreement. | 
| 4.3 | Cayman Islands stamp duty may be payable if the original Partnership Agreement are brought to or executed in the Cayman Islands. | 
| 4.4 | Notwithstanding registration, an exempted limited partnership is not a separate legal person distinct from its partners.  An exempted limited partnership must act through its general partner and all agreements and contracts must be
                entered into by or on behalf of the general partner (or any agent or delegate of the general partner) on behalf of the exempted limited partnership.  References in this opinion to the “Partnership” taking any action (including executing any
                agreements) should be construed accordingly. | 
| 4.5 | To maintain the General Partner and the Partnership in good standing with the Registrar of Companies and the Registrar of Exempted Limited Partnerships under the laws of the Cayman Islands, annual filing fees must be paid and returns
                made to the Registrar of Companies and the Registrar of Exempted Limited Partnerships within the time frame prescribed by law. | 
| 4.6 | Under the laws of the Cayman Islands any term of the Partnership Agreement may be amended or by the conduct of the parties thereto, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the relevant agreement. | 
| 4.7 | Section 19(1) of the Law requires a general partner of an exempted limited partnership to act at all times in good faith and, subject to any express provisions of the partnership agreement to the contrary, in the interests of that
                partnership and any provision of the Partnership Agreement which purports to waive or reduce this responsibility may not be enforceable. | 
| 4.8 | In the case of an exempted limited partnership formed under the Law the general partner(s) are liable for partnership debts (i.e. debts validly contracted by them on behalf of the partnership) to the extent the partnership assets are
                insufficient to meet those debts, and the liability of the limited partners is limited to the extent provided in the Law.  The general partner(s) of an exempted limited partnership (or any agent or delegate of the general partner(s)) enter
                into all agreements and contracts on behalf of the exempted limited partnership under general legal principles of agency as modified by the terms of the partnership agreement, the Law and the Partnership Act (As Revised).  Under the terms
                of the Law, any right or property of the exempted limited partnership which is conveyed to or vested in or held either: | 
| (a) | on behalf of any one or more of the general partners; or | 
| (b) | in the name of the exempted limited partnership, | 
| 4.9 | A certificate, determination, calculation or designation of any party to a Partnership Agreement as to any matter provided therein might be held by a Cayman Islands court not to be conclusive final and binding if, for example, it could
                be shown to have an unreasonable or arbitrary basis, or in the event of manifest error. | 
| 4.10 | We express no opinion as to the meaning, validity or effect of any references to foreign (i.e. non Cayman Islands) statutes, rules, regulations, codes, judicial authority or any other promulgations and any references to them in any of
                the Partnership Agreement. |

| Cayman Islands | 
| 1 | The Partnership Agreement remains in full force and effect and has not been terminated or amended in any way and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, no breaches of the Partnership Agreement have occurred.  No event has occurred to
                effect the termination or dissolution or de-registration of the Partnership. | 
| 2 | The General Partner is validly formed, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is a general partner of the Partnership. | 
| 3 | The General Partner has not entered into any mortgages, charges, liens or security interests over the property or accounts of the Partnership. | 
| 4 | No event has occurred to effect the termination or dissolution or de-registration of the General Partner. | 
| 5 | The General Partner has properly and validly authorised the execution of the Partnership Agreement and any required resolutions and authorisations were duly adopted, are in full force and effect at the date of this certificate and have
                not been amended, varied or revoked in any respect. | 
| 6 | The partnership records of the Partnership required to be maintained at its registered office in the Cayman Islands are complete and accurate in all material respects and all minutes and resolutions filed thereon represent a complete and
                accurate record in all material respects of all meetings of the Partners duly convened in accordance with the Partnership Agreement and all resolutions passed by written consent as the case may be. | 
| 7 | The shareholders or members of the General Partner and the partners of the Partnership have not restricted the power of the General Partner or the Partnership in any manner relevant to the Partnership Agreement. | 
| 8 | Prior to, at the time of, and immediately following the execution of the Partnership Agreement and the each Guarantee, the General Partner was, or will be, able to pay (i) its debts as they fell, or fall, due and (ii) the Partnership’s
                debts as they fell, or fall, due out of the Partnership’s assets. | 
| 9 | To the best of my knowledge and belief, neither the General Partner nor the Partnership are subject to an action, suit or proceeding pending before any court (judicial or administrative) or arbitral tribunal in any jurisdiction and no
                such proceedings have been threatened against the Partnership or the General Partner.  No steps have been taken to commence the winding up, dissolution or de-registration of the General Partner nor have the directors, the members, the
                partners or the shareholders taken any steps to have the General Partner struck off or placed in liquidation.  No steps have been taken to wind up, dissolve or de-register the Partnership.  No receiver has been appointed over any of the
                General Partner’s or the Partnership’s property or assets. | 
| 10 | Neither the General Partner nor the Partnership is a central bank, monetary authority or other sovereign entity of any state and neither is a subsidiary, direct or indirect, of any sovereign entity or state. | 
| 11 | To the best of my knowledge and belief, the execution and delivery of the Partnership Agreement does not breach or conflict with any other agreement to which the General Partner or the Partnership has entered into prior to or on the date
                of this certificate and the execution of each Guarantee falls within the permitted purposes of the Partnership Agreement and the General Partner has obtained all necessary consents on behalf of the Partnership. | 
| 12 | The  General Partner considers the transactions contemplated by the each Guarantee to be of commercial benefit to the  General Partner and the Partnership and has acted (i) in good faith; (ii) in the best interests of the  General
                Partner; (iii) subject to any express provisions of the  Partnership Agreement to the contrary, in the interests of the Partnership; and (iv) for a proper purpose of the  General Partner and the Partnership, in relation to the transactions
                which are the subject of the Opinion. | 
| 13 | Each of the Limited Partner and KKR Holdings L.P. is a limited partner of the Partnership and KKR Associates Holdings L.P. is a limited partner of the Limited Partner.  The Limited Partner has been duly admitted to the Partnership as a
                limited partner within the meaning of the Law. |
