WHEREAS, the Borrower, Kimco, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, are parties to the Credit Agreement dated as of June 28, 2007 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Existing Credit Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to refinance the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

For purposes hereof: "Prime Rate" shall mean the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by JPMCB as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City, each change in the Prime Rate being effective from and including the date such change is publicly announced as being effective (the Prime Rate not being intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged by JPMCB in connection with extensions of credit to debtors); and "Federal Funds Effective Rate" shall mean, for any day, the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by federal funds brokers, as published on the next succeeding Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for the day of such transactions received by the Administrative Agent from three federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by it. If for any reason the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms thereof, the ABR shall be determined without regard to clause (b) of the first sentence of this definition, as appropriate, until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, respectively.
"ABR Loans": Loans, the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the ABR.
"Additional Assignee Defaults": a default on the part of the Permitted Third Party Purchaser (or with which it is charged) pursuant to contractual provisions entered into by Kimco and the Permitted Third Party Purchaser as to which contractual provisions the Administrative Agent has received notice (containing a copy of such provisions) in writing as required under Section 2.15(a)(v), or, if agreed to after the effective date of the Permitted Third Party Purchase, promptly (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days) after the effective date thereof.
"Adjusted Net Income": for any period, as to Kimco and the Consolidated Entities, Consolidated Net Income; provided that there shall be excluded the income (or deficit) of any Person other than Kimco accrued prior to the date it becomes a Subsidiary or is merged into or consolidated with Kimco or any of its Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE II
THE LOANS
SECTION 2.1
Loans.
(a)
Term Loan.
(i)
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan to the Borrower, in dollars, on a single occasion on the Effective Date, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Commitment at such time. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of Loans may not be reborrowed.
15
(ii)
Each Loan shall be made on the Effective Date as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments are several and no Lender shall be responsible under this Agreement for any other Lender's failure to make Loans as required.
(iii)
Subject to Section 2.7 and Section 2.9, the Borrowings shall be comprised entirely of Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.1(d). No Loan, including any Loan into which another Loan shall have been converted or continued under Section 2.3, shall be a Eurocurrency Loan after the day that is one (1) month prior to the Termination Date (it being understood that in the event that the Borrower has delivered an extension notice pursuant to Section 2.14 to extend the Maturity Date from the Original Maturity Date, the First Extended Maturity Date, the Second Extended Maturity Date, the Third Extended Maturity Date, the Fourth Extended Maturity Date or the Fifth Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, Loans may be maintained as or converted into Eurocurrency Loans, at the option of the Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof, after the day that is one (1) month prior to the Original Maturity Date, the First Extended Maturity Date, the Second Extended Maturity Date, the Third Extended Maturity Date, the Fourth Extended Maturity Date or the Fifth Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, so long as in each case such maintenance as or conversion to a Eurocurrency Loan does not occur later than the date that is one (1) month prior to the Sixth Extended Maturity Date). Each Lender at its option may make (or convert into or continue) any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make (or convert into or continue) such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that each applicable Lender shall at all times comply with the requirements of this Agreement in respect thereto, including Section 2.11, and no Lender shall make any such election if and to the extent the same would cause the Borrower to increase its payment obligations hereunder.
(b)
Notes. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note executed and delivered by the Borrower at the request of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, with appropriate insertions as to payee and date (a "Note"), payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by such Lender. Each Lender is hereby authorized to record, as applicable, the date, Type and amount of each Loan made by such Lender, each continuation thereof, each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another Type, the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal thereof and, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the length of each Interest Period with respect thereto, on the schedule (including any continuation of such schedule) annexed to and constituting a part of its Note, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided that the failure by any Lender to make any such recordation or any error in such recordation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes.
(c)
Termination Date. The Borrower shall repay all then outstanding Loans on the Termination Date.
(d)
Procedure for Borrowing Loans on the Effective Date. The Borrower may borrow Loans on a single occasion on the Effective Date, provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, if all or any part of the requested Loans are to be initially Eurocurrency Loans, or (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the Effective Date, otherwise), specifying (A) the aggregate amount to be borrowed, (B) the anticipated Effective Date, (C) whether the Borrowing is to be of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans, or a combination thereof, and (D) if the Borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurocurrency Loans the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. The Borrowings shall be in an amount equal to (i) in the case of ABR Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, in each case subject to Section 2.1(e). Upon receipt of such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 12.2 prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Effective Date in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such Borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
(e)
Principal Amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the borrowings, and all prepayments, conversions and continuations of Eurocurrency Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (B) there shall be no more than ten (10) Eurocurrency Tranches outstanding at any one time
16

SECTION 2.2
Prepayments.
(a)
Optional. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans (subject, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans to compliance with the terms of Section 2.1(e) and Section 2.11), in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least one (1) Business Days' irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans, or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each, provided that a notice of prepayment of Loans may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Upon receipt of any notice of prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11. Subject to Section 2.1(e), partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans).

(c)
Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be applied first to reduce outstanding ABR Loans. Any amounts remaining after application in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be applied to such Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower shall direct, such prepayments to be subject to Section 2.11.
(d)
All prepayments shall be accompanied by all interest accrued hereunder on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.
SECTION 2.3
Conversion and Continuation Options.
(a)
The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans, by giving the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans, by giving the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurocurrency Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. All or any part of the outstanding Eurocurrency Loans and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion that such a conversion is not appropriate, (ii) any such conversion may only be made if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.1(e) would not be contravened, and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan after the date that is one (1) month prior to the Termination Date. If the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such conversion is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans (other than Eurocurrency Loans that are continued in accordance with Section 2.3(b)) shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.
(b)
Any Eurocurrency Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term "Interest Period" set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion that such a continuation is not appropriate, (ii) if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.1(e) would be contravened, or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the Termination Date, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any notice pursuant to this Section 2.3(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.
17
SECTION 2.4
Interest Rates and Payment Dates.
(a)
Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)
Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.
(c)
[reserved].
(d)
If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4 plus 2% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, fee or other amount, the rate described in Section 2.4(b) plus 2%, in each case from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).
(e)
Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that (i) interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.4(d) shall be payable from time to time on demand, and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.
SECTION 2.5
Computation of Interest.
(a)
Interest (other than interest calculated on the basis of the ABR) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest calculated on the basis of the ABR shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b)
Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan.
SECTION 2.6
Inability to Determine Interest Rate.
If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(a)
the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period; or
(b)
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender(s) (as conclusively certified by such Lender(s) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period;
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, (i) any Eurocurrency Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (ii) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans, and (iii) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, Eurocurrency Loans shall not be made, and no further Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert any other Loans to Eurocurrency Loans.
18
SECTION 2.7
Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.
(a)
Each Borrowing shall be made, continued, or converted pro rata according to the respective Applicable Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, at the Administrative Agent's office specified in Section 12.2 in immediately available funds. It is understood that, if any payment of principal is made on any day in accordance with the preceding sentence, no interest shall accrue on such day in respect of such principal. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to any such payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(b)
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.7(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender's share of such Borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of the Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower.
SECTION 2.8
Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any Change in Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans, to continue Eurocurrency Loans as such, or to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall forthwith be cancelled, and (b) such Lender's Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.11.
SECTION 2.9
Requirements of Law.
(a)
If any Change in Law:
(i)
shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve (except to the extent that such reserve is specifically subject to Section 2.9(c)), special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any relevant office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate;
(ii)
shall impose on such Lender any other condition; or
19
(iii)
subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes and (y) Excluded Taxes);
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient, by an amount which such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such other Recipient, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to the Loans, this Agreement or the Commitments generally. If any Lender or any other Recipient becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.9(a), it shall promptly notify the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled, provided that such amounts shall be no greater than amounts that such Lender or such other Recipient is generally charging other borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower.
(b)
If any Lender shall have determined that the application of any Requirement of Law or any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such application or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's treatment of its Loans for internal purposes as of the date on which it became a party hereto) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such request), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, for such reduction with respect to the Loans, this Agreement or the Commitments generally.
(c)
The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender which requests compensation under this Section 2.9(c) (by notice to the Borrower), on the last day of each Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower, so long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves against "Eurocurrency liabilities" under Regulation D of the Board (or, so long as such Lender may be required by the Board or by any other Governmental Authority to maintain reserves against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes any Eurocurrency Loans), an additional amount (determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower) representing such Lender's calculation or, if an accurate calculation is impracticable, reasonable estimate (using such reasonable means of allocation as such Lender shall determine) of the actual costs, if any, incurred by such Lender during such Interest Period, as a result of the applicability of the foregoing reserves to such Eurocurrency Loans, which amount in any event shall not exceed the product of the following for each day of such Interest Period:
(i)
the principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender to which such Interest Period relates and outstanding on such day; and
(ii)
the difference between (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Eurocurrency Rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, and the denominator of which is one (1) minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed by the Board or other Governmental Authority on such date minus (y) such numerator; and
(iii)
a fraction the numerator of which is one (1) and the denominator of which is 360.
Any Lender which gives notice under this Section 2.9(c) shall promptly withdraw such notice (by written notice of withdrawal given to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) in the event such Lender is no longer required to maintain such reserves or the circumstances giving rise to such notice shall otherwise cease to exist.
(d)
A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.9 submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section 2.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder (the date on which all of the foregoing shall have occurred, the "Final Date"), until the first anniversary of the Final Date. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.9, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any greater amounts than such Lender(s) is (are) generally charging other borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower.
20
(e)
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.9 (i) shall not entitle any Recipient to compensation in respect of any Excluded Taxes, (ii) shall not apply to (A) Indemnified Taxes imposed on payments by or on account of any obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document or (B) Other Taxes, it being understood that such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.10, and (iii) shall not relieve any Lender of any obligation pursuant to Section 2.10.
SECTION 2.10
Taxes.
(a)
All payments made by any Loan Party under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by any Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made. Each Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 2.10(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(b)
Indemnification by each Loan Party. Without duplication of any payments made pursuant to Section 2.10(a), each Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are directly paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.10(b)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity under this Section 2.10(b) shall be paid within 10 days after the Recipient delivers to the applicable Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent.
(c)
Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the applicable Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Loan Party to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.10(c) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (c).
(d)
Status of Lenders.
(i)
Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.1(d)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.10(d). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.
21
(ii)
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower or Loan Party (or, if the Borrower or Loan Party is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its sole owner) is a U.S. Person, any Lender (or if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its sole owner) with respect to such Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by such Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
(A)
IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;
(B)
(1) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;
(C)
IRS Form W-8ECI;
(D)
(1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H (a U.S. Tax Certificate) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (c) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;
(E)
(1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this subsection (d)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or
(F)
any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable such Borrower or Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.
(iii)
If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.10(d)(iii), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.11
Indemnity.
The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense (including post-judgment expenses) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making the borrowing of any Eurocurrency Loans, or in the conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting or accepting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may, at the option of any Lender, include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the relevant Interest Period (or proposed Interest Period), in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurocurrency market or other relevant market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder, until the first anniversary of the Final Date.
22
SECTION 2.12
Change of Lending Office.
Each Lender and each Transferee agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.8, 2.9 or 2.10 with respect to such Lender or Transferee, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender or Transferee) to designate another lending office for Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender or Transferee, cause such Lender or Transferee and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender or Transferee pursuant to Sections 2.8, 2.9 and 2.10.
SECTION 2.13
Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.
The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.9 (other than Section 2.9(c)) or 2.10, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.8 and as a result thereof any of the actions described in Section 2.8 is required to be taken, (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (d) does not consent to any amendment, waiver, supplement or modification to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Majority Lenders has been obtained but that requires the consent of additional Lenders pursuant to any Loan Document; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.11 if any Eurocurrency Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) the replaced Lender shall (except as provided in the following clause (ix)) be released from its obligations under this Agreement, (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.9 or 2.10, as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender if it defaulted in its obligation to make a Loan hereunder.
SECTION 2.14
Extension of Maturity Date.
By written notice to the Administrative Agent not earlier than 90 days nor later than 25 days before the Maturity Date specified in clause (a) of the definition of the term "Maturity Date" (the "Original Maturity Date"), the Borrower may, with the written consent, in its sole discretion, of Kimco, extend the Maturity Date to the date that is six months after the Original Maturity Date (the "First Extended Maturity Date") subject to satisfaction of each of the Extension Conditions.

(b)
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and each Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with such bank (an "Administrative Agent Affiliate") may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
(c)
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein), and (iii) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Kimco or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the
40
bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Administrative Agent Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default other than nonpayment of principal or interest unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by Kimco or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
(d)
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
(e)
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.

(f)
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and Kimco. If a Bankruptcy Event shall occur with respect to the Administrative Agent, then effective on the date that is thirty (30) Business Days after the date of such Bankruptcy Event, the Administrative Agent automatically and without any further action by any Person, shall be removed as Administrative Agent, and at the end of such thirty (30) Business Day period the Administrative Agent shall be deemed discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

In addition, at any time following the exercise by Kimco of the Loan Purchase Option and the payment by Kimco of the full purchase price to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders) in respect of the Purchased Interests in accordance with Section 2.16, Kimco shall have the right to remove the Administrative Agent immediately upon written notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall be deemed discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Kimco, to appoint a successor. In the case of resignation by the Administrative Agent, if no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or a Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor to a retired Administrative Agent, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article, including Section 11.2, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning Kimco and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.
SECTION 11.2
Indemnification.
The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower to do so in accordance with the Loan Documents), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentages of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans (or, if no Loans are then outstanding, the Commitments) on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 11.2, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans and regardless of whether pre-judgment or post-judgment) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting solely from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 11.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

The Majority Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with the relevant Loan Parties written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Majority Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) reduce the amount or (other than as provided in Section 2.14) extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase or reduce (except for reductions in accordance with Section 2.1(f)) the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender's Commitment, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 12.1 or change Section 2.7(a) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, reduce the percentage specified in the definitions of Required Lenders or Majority Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, amend the proviso to the definition of the term "Unencumbered Properties", release the Kimco Guarantee, amend, modify or waive the Kimco Guarantee in any material respect, or amend, modify, or waive any provision of any Loan Document which, by its terms, requires the consent, approval or satisfaction of all Lenders, in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders, or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.17, Article X or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent without the written consent of the then Administrative Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Notes. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under any outstanding Notes and any other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing to the extent therein specified; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
42
Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence of a Permitted Third Party Purchase, (a) the written consent of Kimco shall be required with respect to any amendment, consent or (except as described in clause (b) below) waiver (i) as to the amount of debt outstanding hereunder, the amount of interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder or the scheduled date of any payment hereunder, (ii) relating to the amendment provisions of this Agreement or the assignment by the Borrower of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (iii) that releases any guarantees or any collateral in respect of any obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement, (iv) relating to the order of application of payments set forth in this Agreement, (v) relating to any provision of this Agreement that affects the ranking of the Loans hereunder, the clause (n) of Article X or any related terms, any provisions relating to mandatory or optional prepayments, any negative covenants of the Borrower or any Events of Default, or any matters addressed thereby, or any other material provision of this Agreement if the result of such amendment would adversely affect the interests of Kimco or (vi) relating to the Kimco Guarantee), and (b) no waiver of any then-existing Default or Event of Default shall be effective unless either (i) Kimco shall have consented in writing to such waiver or (ii) the requisite Lenders shall have approved such waiver in writing, the Administrative Agent shall have provided written notice to Kimco of such waiver and approval, and 15 days shall have elapsed from the date of delivery of such notice to Kimco without Kimco exercising its Loan Purchase Option and paying the full purchase price to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders) in respect of the Purchased Interests in accordance with Section 2.16; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the consent of Kimco shall not be required, nor shall the Administrative Agent be required to give any notice to Kimco, with respect to any amendment, consent or waiver to the extent pertaining to any liabilities, obligations or performances of duties of or owing by (x) the Administrative Agent to one or more of the Lenders, (y) one or more Lenders to the Administrative Agent and one or more other Lenders or (z) one or more of the Lenders to one or more other Lenders, or any claims in respect of any such liabilities, obligations or performances of duties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Additional Assignee Defaults shall be permitted to be amended or waived solely with the consent of Kimco and the Permitted Third Party Purchaser; provided that Kimco shall provide written notice of any such amendment or waiver to the Lenders promptly (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days) after the effective date thereof.
Solely for purposes of the first two paragraphs of this Section 12.1, the term "Loan Documents" shall not include the Fee Letter.

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

44
SECTION 12.6
Successors and Assigns.
For purposes of this Section 12.6, the term "Related Parties" shall have the meaning given thereto in Section 11.1 hereof.
(a)
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) none of the Loan Parties may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(b)
(1)
Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:
(A)
the Borrower and, following a Permitted Third Party Purchase, Kimco, provided that (I) no consent of the Borrower or Kimco, as applicable, shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below), or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee and (II) the Borrower or Kimco, as applicable, shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and
(B)
the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment or Loan to an assignee that is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.
(ii)
Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)
except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption (as defined below) with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(B)
each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(C)
the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit A or in any other form approved by the Administrative Agent (an "Assignment and Assumption"), together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,000 (which, except as provided in Section 2.13, shall not be payable by the Borrower);
(D)
the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in the form approved by the Administrative Agent (an "Administrative Questionnaire"); and
(E)
assignments shall not be permitted to any Defaulting Lender or any Ineligible Assignee.
For the purposes of this Section 12.6, the terms "Approved Fund" and "Ineligible Assignee" have the following meanings:
"Approved Fund" means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
45
"Ineligible Assignee" means a (a) natural person or (b) holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof; provided that such holding company, investment vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Assignee if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Loans or Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.
(iii)
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 and 12.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv)
The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, or the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v)
Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this paragraph (b) and any written consent to such assignment required by this paragraph (b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.7(b), 3.4, 3.5 or 11.2, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c)
Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than any Defaulting Lender or any Ineligible Assignee) (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations in respect of its Commitment or Loans, under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 12.1 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9, 2.10 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.10(d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.10(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) and 2.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.7 and 2.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.9 or 2.10 with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.12(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.12(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information
46
relating to a Participant's interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d)
Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 12.7
Disclosure.
Subject to Section 12.20, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or assignee (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 12.8
[Reserved].
SECTION 12.9
[Reserved].
SECTION 12.10
Kimco Guarantee.
(a)
Guarantee by Kimco. In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to execute and deliver this Agreement and to make or maintain the Loans hereunder, and in consideration thereof, Kimco hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties, the prompt and complete payment by the Borrower when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations, and Kimco further agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses (including all reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in enforcing any of their rights under the guarantee contained in this Section 12.10. The guarantee contained in this Section 12.10, subject to Section 12.10(d), shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated. Kimco agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of its liability under this Section 12.10, it will notify the Administrative Agent or such Lender in writing that such payment is made under the guarantee contained in this Section 12.10 for such purpose. No payment or payments made by the Borrower or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of Kimco under this Section 12.10, which, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, shall remain liable for the unpaid and outstanding Obligations until, subject to Section 12.10(d), the Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated.
(b)
Amendments, etc. With Respect to the Applicable Obligations. Kimco shall remain obligated under this Section 12.10 notwithstanding that (i) without any reservation of rights against Kimco, and (ii) without notice to or further assent by Kimco, (x) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations may be made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (y) any of the Obligations may be continued, increased in amount, or otherwise modified, and the applicable Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and (z) this Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Lenders (or the Majority Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the applicable Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 12.10 or any property subject thereto.
47
(c)
Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Kimco waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 12.10 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 12.10; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 12.10, and all dealings between Kimco, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 12.10. The Administrative Agent and any Lender will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, request payment of any applicable Obligation from the Borrower before making any claim against Kimco under this Section 12.10, but will have no further obligation to proceed against the Borrower or to defer for any period a claim against Kimco hereunder. Except as expressly provided in the preceding sentence, Kimco waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Kimco or the Borrower with respect to the Obligations. The guarantee contained in this Section 12.10 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) the legality under applicable laws of repayment by the Borrower of any Obligations or the adoption of any applicable laws purporting to render any Obligations null and void, (c) any change in the structure or tax characterization of the Borrower, or any transaction (including any merger or consolidation) to which it may be a party (in each case whether or not permitted under the Loan Documents), (d) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Kimco or the Borrower against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (e) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Kimco or the Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for any Obligations, or of Kimco under the guarantee contained in this Section 12.10, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When the Administrative Agent or any Lender is pursuing its rights and remedies under this Section 12.10 against Kimco, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve Kimco of any liability under this Section 12.10, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against Kimco.
(d)
Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 12.10 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any substantial part of its Property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
(e)
Payments. Kimco hereby agrees that any payments in respect of the Obligations pursuant to this Section 12.10 will be paid without setoff or counterclaim, in Dollars at the office of the Administrative Agent specified for payment under this Agreement.
(f)
Independent Obligations. The obligations of Kimco under the guarantee contained in this Section 12.10 are independent of the obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Kimco whether or not the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. Any payment by the Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Kimco.
(g)
Defenses of Kimco. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Kimco waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Loan Party, other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise, extend or otherwise adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Loan Party or any other guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Loan Party or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Kimco hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, Kimco waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Kimco against any Loan Party or any other guarantor, as the case may be, or any security, or would otherwise exonerate Kimco.
48
(h)
Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party has at law or in equity against Kimco by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, Kimco hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations. Upon payment by Kimco of any sums to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party as provided above, all rights of Kimco against any Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to Kimco on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
(i)
Additional Assignee Defaults. Any right or remedy that Kimco may have with respect to the Permitted Third Party Purchaser or its assets upon the occurrence of one or more Additional Assignee Defaults shall not exonerate Kimco from its obligations under the Guarantee contained in this Section 12.10 or otherwise affect in any manner the Guarantee contained in this Section 12.10 which shall continue to remain in full force and effect in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereunder.
