Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Nomura Securities International, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Regions Securities LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC, Truist Securities, Inc., UBS Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC ((except in the case of Nomura Securities International, Inc.) as sales agents for the Company and principal, the “Agents,” and/or (except in the case of BTIG, LLC) as agents for the related Forward Purchasers, the “Forward Sellers”).

On December 15, 2022, Kimco OP (then a Maryland corporation also known as Kimco Realty Corporation (in such capacity, the “Predecessor”)) entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 15, 2022 with New KRC Corp., a newly formed Maryland corporation (“Holdco”) and KRC Merger Sub Corp., a newly formed Maryland corporation (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into the Predecessor, with the Predecessor continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, the Predecessor changed its name from Kimco Realty Corporation to KRC Interim Corp. and the Holdco changed its name to Kimco Realty Corporation. On January 3, 2023, KRC Interim Corp. converted from a Maryland corporation to a Delaware limited liability company known as Kimco Realty OP, LLC (the “Conversion”). The term “Company” means the Predecessor prior to January 1, 2023 and Kimco Realty Corporation on and after January 1, 2023.

The Company may, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, (i) issue, offer and sell from time to time to or through the Agents, severally and not jointly, shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) instruct the applicable Forward Sellers, severally and not jointly, from time to time to offer and sell shares of Common Stock, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; provided that the aggregate gross sales price sold pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not exceed $500,000,000 (such shares of Common Stock issued, offered and/or sold hereunder, the “Shares”). The Company agrees that whenever it determines to sell Shares directly to an Agent, as principal, it will enter into a separate written Terms Agreement (each, a “Terms Agreement”), in substantially the form of Annex I hereto, relating to such sale in accordance with Section 2(k) hereof.  References herein to “this Agreement” or to matters contained “herein” or “hereunder,” or words of similar import, mean this Agreement, and any applicable Terms Agreement, and references herein to “Agents” party to any Terms Agreement mean the Agent or Agents, as the case may be, party thereto, mutatis mutandis.

The Company may also enter into one or more forward stock purchase transactions with any of the Forward Purchasers as set forth in one or more separate letter agreements, each in substantially the form attached as Annex II hereto and with such changes therein as the parties thereto may agree (each, a “Confirmation”). Under each Confirmation, the Company will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such Confirmation and in this Agreement, deliver and sell to the applicable Forward Purchaser or an Affiliate (as defined in Section 6(a) hereof) thereof (including the Forward Seller affiliated with such Forward Purchaser) up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as may be sold in accordance with this Agreement.  It is further contemplated that the applicable Forward Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof will attempt to borrow and then offer, through the appointed Forward Seller, the relevant number of Shares for sale on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

The Company and Kimco OP have prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined under Rule 405 (“Rule 405”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), on Form S-3 (File No. 333-269102), covering the public offering and sale of certain securities of the Company and Kimco OP, including the Shares, under the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “1933 Act Regulations”), which automatic shelf registration statement became effective under Rule 462(e) of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 462(e)”).  The “Registration Statement,” as of any time, means such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto at such time, including the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule 430B of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 430B”); provided, however, that the Registration Statement without reference to a time means such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto as of the time of the first contract of sale for the Shares, which time shall be considered the new effective date of the Registration Statement with respect to the Shares within the meaning of paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 430B (“Rule 430B(f)(2)”), including the exhibits and schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule 430B.  The base prospectus filed as part of such automatic shelf registration statement, as amended in the form in which it has been filed most recently with the Commission in accordance with Section 3(b) or 3(c) hereof, including the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, is referred to herein as the “Base Prospectus.”  Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus supplement relating to the Shares in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 424(b)”).  Such final prospectus supplement, as amended by the prospectus supplement filed most recently with the Commission in accordance with Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(o) hereof, as the case may be, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, is referred to herein as the “Prospectus Supplement.”  The Base Prospectus, as amended by the Prospectus Supplement, in the forms the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement are first furnished to any Agent or any Forward Seller for use in connection with the offering and sale of Shares, are collectively referred to herein as the “Prospectus.”  For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (or any successor system) (“EDGAR”).

As used in this Agreement:

“Applicable Time” means, with respect to any offer and sale of Shares, the time immediately prior to the first contract of sale for such Shares, or such other time as agreed by the Company and the applicable Agent or the applicable Forward Seller, as the case may be.

“General Disclosure Package” means each Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus, if any, issued prior to the Applicable Time, the most recent Prospectus filed with the Commission in accordance with Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(o) hereof that is distributed to investors prior to the Applicable Time and the number of Shares and the initial offering price per Share, all considered together.

“Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 433”), including, without limitation, any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) relating to the Shares that is (i) required to be filed with the Commission by the Company, (ii) a “road show that is a written communication” within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether or not required to be filed with the Commission, or (iii) exempt from filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) because it contains a description of the Shares or of the offering thereof that does not reflect the final terms, in each case in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g).

“Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus approved by the Agents or, in the case of a specific offer and sale of Shares, the applicable Agent(s) pursuant to Section 3(m) hereof that is furnished to the Agents for general distribution to investors, as evidenced by communications between the applicable parties.

(i)          Compliance of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and Incorporated Documents.  Each of the Company and Kimco OP meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act.  The Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement under Rule 405 and the Shares have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on such automatic shelf registration statement.  Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective under the 1933 Act.  No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been issued under the 1933 Act, no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 401(g)(2)”) has been received by the Company or Kimco OP, no order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto has been issued and no proceedings for any of those purposes or pursuant to Section 8A of the 1933 Act have been instituted or are pending or, to the Company’s or Kimco OP’s knowledge, contemplated.  Each of the Company and Kimco OP has complied with each request (if any) from the Commission for additional information.

Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time of its effectiveness and as of each deemed effective date with respect to the Agents and the Forward Sellers pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2), complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.  Each of any preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, at the time it was filed with the Commission, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and is identical to the electronically transmitted copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(ii)          Accurate Disclosure.  Neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment thereto, at its effective time or at any Settlement Date or any Trade Date, contained, contains or will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.  At each Applicable Time, neither (A) the General Disclosure Package nor (B) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included, includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  Neither the Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto (including any prospectus wrapper), as of its issue date, at the time of any filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or at any Settlement Date, included, includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, at the time the Registration Statement became effective or when such documents incorporated by reference were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, when read together with the other information in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, did not, do not and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(iii)          Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses.  No Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including any document incorporated by reference therein, that has not been superseded or modified.  Any offer that is a written communication relating to the Shares made prior to the initial filing of the Registration Statement by the Company or any person acting on their behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) has been filed with the Commission in accordance with the exemption provided by Rule 163 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 163”) and otherwise complied with the requirements of Rule 163, including, without limitation, the legending requirement, to qualify such offer for the exemption from Section 5(c) of the 1933 Act provided by Rule 163.

(vi)          Independent Accountants.  PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which has certified certain consolidated financial statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (including Kimco OP), and of Kimco OP and its consolidated subsidiaries, is an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company and Kimco OP and their respective consolidated subsidiaries within the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and as required by the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.

Sales of Shares, if any, as contemplated by this Agreement, made through the Agents or the Forward Sellers, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2 shall not apply to sales solely to employees or security holders of the Company or its subsidiaries, or to a trustee or other person acquiring such shares of Common Stock for the accounts of such persons, in each case in which any Agent, any Forward Seller or any Forward Purchaser is acting for the Company in a capacity other than as Agent, as Forward Seller or as Forward Purchaser under this Agreement.

(b)          Shares may be sold through any Agent or any Forward Seller any day (other than a day on which the NYSE is scheduled to close prior to its regular closing time) (each, a “Trading Day”) on which (i) the Company, any applicable Agent, any applicable Forward Seller and any applicable Forward Purchaser have agreed to the terms of the Company’s instruction and (ii) the Company has satisfied its covenants and conditions specified in Sections 4 and 5 hereof. Such instructions shall specify whether the applicable Shares will be borrowed by a Forward Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof and sold through the applicable Forward Seller in connection with hedging a forward stock transaction pursuant to a Confirmation as contemplated by clause (II) of Section 2(a) above. On any Trading Day, the Company may instruct only one Agent or one Forward Seller to offer and sell Shares and, if it determines to do so, shall instruct the applicable Agent or the applicable Forward Seller by telephone (confirmed promptly by facsimile or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by such Agent or such Forward Seller) as to the maximum number of Shares to be sold on such Trading Day, the minimum price per Share at which such Shares may be sold and other terms specified in the form of sale instruction attached as Annex III hereto (each a “Sale Instruction”). Subject to the terms and conditions specified herein (including, without limitation, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and Kimco OP, and the performance by the Company and Kimco OP of their covenants and other obligations contained herein and the satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 5 hereof), and to the acceptance of such Sale Instruction by the applicable Agent or the applicable Forward Seller and the applicable Forward Purchaser, such Agent or such Forward Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations, to sell all of the Shares so designated by the Company in accordance with such Sale Instruction on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. On any Trading Day, the Company shall give at least one business day’s prior written notice by facsimile or email to the applicable Agents, the applicable Forward Sellers and the applicable Forward Purchasers as to any change of the Agent or the Forward Seller through whom sales of Shares will be made. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitation shall not apply to sales solely to employees or security holders of the Company or its subsidiaries or to a trustee or other person acquiring shares for the accounts of such persons in which any Agent, any Forward Seller or any Forward Purchaser is acting for the Company in a capacity other than as Agent, as Forward Seller or as Forward Purchaser under this Agreement. The parties hereto, severally and not jointly, each acknowledge and agree that (A) there can be no assurance that any Agent or any Forward Seller will be successful in selling any Shares or that any Forward Purchaser or any of its Affiliates will be successful in borrowing any Shares or selling any Shares through the applicable Forward Seller; (B) none of the Agents, the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers and their respective Affiliates will incur any liability or obligation to the Company if any Agent or any Forward Seller fails to sell Shares other than any liability that an Agent or a Forward Seller may incur as a result of the failure by such Agent or such Forward Seller to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations, to sell such Shares as required by this Agreement; and (C) none of the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers and their respective Affiliates shall incur any liability or obligation for any failure by any Forward Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to borrow, offer or sell any Shares as a result of any of the circumstances specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 2(l). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Agent or any Forward Seller may decline, for any reason in its sole discretion, to act as sales agent hereunder with respect to one or more sets of Sale Instruction for the sale of the Shares. In addition to the foregoing, any Sales Instruction to Nomura Securities International, Inc. is also subject to acceptance by BTIG, LLC, and such Sales Instruction shall not be effective against Nomura Securities International, Inc. until accepted by Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc., Nomura Securities International, Inc. and BTIG, LLC. Such Sales Instruction, for the avoidance of doubt, may be accepted or rejected by Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc., Nomura Securities International, Inc. or BTIG, LLC, in their respective sole discretion.

(c)          The Company, the applicable Agent or the applicable Forward Seller, on any Trading Day may, upon notice to the other party hereto and the relevant Forward Purchaser, if applicable, by telephone (confirmed promptly by facsimile or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by the receiving party), immediately suspend the offering of Shares through such Agent or such Forward Seller for any reason and at any time; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair the respective obligations of the Company, such Agent or such Forward Seller with respect to the Shares sold, or with respect to Shares that an investor has agreed to purchase, hereunder prior to the giving of such notice.

(d)          The gross sales price of any Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement through any Agent or any Forward Seller shall be equal to, in the discretion of such Agent or such Forward Seller but subject to the specific instructions of the Company, and such Forward Purchaser, if applicable, the market price prevailing at the time of sale for the Shares sold through such Agent or such Forward Seller on the NYSE or otherwise, prices related to prevailing market prices or negotiated prices, or as otherwise agreed upon by the applicable parties from time to time. The compensation payable to an Agent or a Forward Seller for sales of Shares through such party shall be at a rate agreed upon by the Company, such Agent, such Forward Seller and such Forward Purchaser, as applicable, not to exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price for such Shares, and the exact amount shall be agreed at each time the Company provides a Sale Instruction. The remaining proceeds, after deducting the applicable Agent’s or the applicable Forward Seller’s compensation described in the preceding sentence and after further deduction for any transaction fees, transfer taxes or similar taxes or fees imposed by any arbitrator, court, governmental body, regulatory body, administrative agency or other authority, body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, assets or operations or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company or the applicable Forward Purchaser, as the case may be, for such sales (the “Net Proceeds”). The applicable Agent or the applicable Forward Seller shall notify the Company and, if applicable, the related Forward Purchaser as promptly as practicable if any deduction referenced in the preceding sentence will be made (other than the deduction of compensation payable to such Agent or such Forward Seller). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company and an Agent or a Forward Seller agree to a sale of Shares other than through ordinary brokers’ transactions using sales efforts and methods that may constitute “distributions” within the meaning of Rule 100 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act, such Agent or such Forward Seller shall not be obligated to offer or sell any such Shares until the Company and such Agent or such Forward Seller and such Forward Purchaser, as applicable, agree to compensation for such Agent or such Forward Seller that is customary with respect to transactions of such nature and size and which may exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price.

(e)          The applicable Agent or the applicable Forward Seller shall provide written confirmation to the Company and the applicable Forward Purchaser following the close of trading on the NYSE on each Trading Day on which Shares are sold through such Agent or such Forward Seller under this Agreement. Each such confirmation shall set forth the number of Shares sold on such day, the aggregate gross sales price of the Shares, the aggregate Net Proceeds to the Company or the applicable Forward Purchaser, as the case may be, and the aggregate compensation payable by the Company with respect to such sales.

(f)          Under no circumstances shall the aggregate gross sales price or number, as the case may be, of Shares offered or sold pursuant to this Agreement, or which are the subject of a Sale Instruction pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, exceed the aggregate gross sales price or number, as the case may be, of Shares (i) referred to in the preamble paragraph of this Agreement, as reduced by prior sales of Shares under this Agreement, (ii) available for sale under the Registration Statement, (iii) duly authorized from time to time to be issued and/or sold under this Agreement or (iv) approved for listing on the NYSE. In addition, under no circumstances shall any Shares be offered or sold through any Agent or any Forward Seller, or be the subject of a Sale Instruction pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, at a price lower than the minimum price therefor duly authorized from time to time by the Company and notified to such Agent or such Forward Seller and applicable Forward Purchaser, as the case may be, in writing. Furthermore, the Company shall not enter into any Confirmation with respect to a number of Confirmation Shares in excess of the number of Confirmation Shares duly authorized, reserved and available from time to time for issuance and sale under such Confirmation or listed or approved for listing on the NYSE. Compliance with the restrictions set forth above in this paragraph (f) shall be the responsibility of the Company, and none of the Agents, the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers and their respective Affiliates shall have any responsibility for maintaining records with respect to the Shares available for issuance or sale under the Registration Statement, this Agreement or any Terms Agreement, the number of Confirmation Shares available for issuance or sale under any Confirmation or the number of Shares or Confirmation Shares listed or approved for listing on the NYSE, or for determining the aggregate gross sales price, number or minimum price of Shares duly authorized by the Company, or for compliance with any of the other restrictions set forth above in this paragraph (f).

(g)          If any party hereto has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the 1934 Act are not satisfied with respect to the Company or the Shares, such party shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and offers and sales of Shares through the Agents or the Forward Sellers under this Agreement shall be suspended until that or another exemptive provision has been satisfied in the judgment of the parties hereto.

(h)          Settlement for sales of Shares will occur on the second business day that is also a Trading Day following the trade date on which the applicable sales are made, unless another date shall be agreed to in writing by the applicable parties (each such day, a “Settlement Date”). Unless the applicable parties otherwise agree, on each Settlement Date for the sale of Shares through the applicable Agent or such Forward Seller, such Shares shall be delivered by the Company or such Forward Purchaser, as the case may be, to such Agent or such Forward Seller in book-entry form to such Agent’s or such Forward Seller’s account at The Depository Trust Company against payment by such Agent or such Forward Seller, in same day funds delivered to an account designated by the Company or such Forward Purchaser, as the case may be (which account shall be designated by the Company or such Forward Purchaser, as the case may be, by notice delivered to such Agent or such Forward Seller no later than the Trading Day immediately preceding such Settlement Date), of the (i) Net Proceeds from the sale of such Shares or (ii) if agreed upon by the applicable parties, the aggregate gross sales price from the sale of such Shares in same day funds delivered to an account designated by the Company. If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Shares to an Agent as sales agent on any Settlement Date, each of the Company and Kimco OP agrees, jointly and severally, to (i) indemnify and hold such Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company and (ii) pay such Agent any commission to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default.

(i)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not offer or sell, or instruct an Agent or a Forward Seller to offer or sell any Shares (and, by notice to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers given by telephone (confirmed promptly by facsimile or email) shall cancel any Sale Instruction for any such offer and sale of any Shares prior to the commencement of the periods referenced below), and the Agents and the Forward Sellers shall not be obligated to make any such offer and sale of Shares, and the Company shall not enter into any Confirmation or any Terms Agreement, (i) during any period in which the Company is, or could reasonably be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information or (ii) except as provided in Section 2(j) hereof, at any time during the period commencing on the business day prior to the time the Company issues a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other operating results for a fiscal period or periods (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K (a “Filing Time”) that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same fiscal period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement.

(j)          Notwithstanding clause (ii) of Section 2(i) hereof, if the Company wishes to offer or sell Shares to or through any of the Agents, to have Shares sold through any Forward Seller or to enter into a Confirmation or a Terms Agreement, at any time during the period from and including an Earnings Announcement through and including the corresponding Filing Time, the Company shall first (i) prepare and deliver to any applicable Agent, any applicable Forward Seller and any applicable Forward Purchaser (with a copy to their counsel) a Current Report on Form 8-K that includes substantially the same financial and related information (together with management’s discussion and analysis thereof) that was included in such Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings projections and similar forward-looking data and officer’s quotations) (each, an “Earnings 8-K”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such parties, and, prior to its filing, obtain the written consent (which may be by email) of such Agent, such Forward Seller and/or such Forward Purchaser, as applicable, to such filing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) provide such Agent, such Forward Seller and/or such Forward Purchaser, as applicable, with the officers’ certificate, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letter specified in Section 3(p), (q) and (r), respectively, hereof, each in form and substance satisfactory to such Agent, such Forward Seller and/or such Forward Purchaser, as applicable, (iii) afford such Agent, such Forward Seller and/or such Forward Purchaser, as applicable, the opportunity to conduct a due diligence review in accordance with Section 3(t) hereof prior to filing such Earnings 8-K and (iv) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that (A) the delivery of any officers’ certificate, opinion or letter of counsel or accountants’ letter pursuant to this Section 2(j) shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the obligation to deliver officers’ certificates, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letters as provided in Section 3(p), (q) and (r), respectively, hereof, and (B) this Section 2(j) shall in no way affect or limit the operation of clause (i) of Section 2(i) hereof, which shall have independent application.

(k)          The Agents shall not have any obligation to purchase Shares, as principal, whether from the Company or otherwise, unless the Company and the applicable Agent(s) agree as set forth below. Shares purchased from the Company by the applicable Agent(s), individually or in a syndicate, as principal shall be made in accordance with terms agreed upon between such Agent(s) and the Company as evidenced by a Terms Agreement.  The commitment of the applicable Agents(s) to purchase Shares from the Company as principal shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and Kimco OP, and performance by the Company and Kimco OP of their covenants and other obligations, herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. At the time of each Terms Agreement, the applicable Agent(s) shall specify the requirements, if any, for the officers’ certificate, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letters pursuant to Section 3(p), (q) and (r), respectively, hereof. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement shall control.

(l)          If the Company enters into a Confirmation with a Forward Purchaser, then, as set forth in such Confirmation and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that either (i) such Forward Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof is unable to borrow and deliver any Shares for sale under this Agreement pursuant to the terms of such Confirmation, or (ii) in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Forward Purchaser, it is either impracticable to do so or such Forward Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof would incur a stock loan cost that is equal to or greater than the threshold as specified in Section 7(f)(i) of the relevant Confirmation to do so, then the applicable Forward Seller shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations, to sell only the aggregate number of Shares that such Forward Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof is able to, and that in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Forward Purchaser it is practicable to, so borrow below such cost. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of any Forward Seller, any Forward Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof hereunder with respect to the borrowing of or offer and sale of any Shares in connection with a forward stock purchase transaction shall be subject to the related Confirmation being effective and not having been terminated. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and a Confirmation, the terms of such Confirmation shall control.

(m)          The Company agrees that any offer to sell, any solicitation of an offer to buy, or any sales of Shares by or on behalf of the Company or any Forward Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement shall be effected by or through only one Agent or one Forward Seller on any given day, and the Company shall in no event request that more than one Agent or one Forward Seller offer or sell Shares on the same day; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from entering into a Terms Agreement with two or more Agents providing for such Agents, each acting severally as principal, to offer and sell the Shares set forth in such Terms Agreement or prohibit or limit in any respect the offer and sale of Shares purchased by any Agent, as principal, from the Company pursuant to a Terms Agreement.

Section 3. Covenants. Each of the Company and Kimco OP agrees, jointly and severally, with each Agent, each Forward Seller and each Forward Purchaser as follows:

(a)          Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests.  The Company, subject to Section 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, will comply with the requirements of Rule 430B, and will notify the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers as soon as reasonably possible, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement relating to the Shares shall become effective or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall have been filed (other than an amendment or supplement providing solely for the determination of the terms of an offering of securities unless related to an offering of Shares, as to which the Company will only be obligated to notify the applicable parties hereto), (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein, or for additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or any notice of objection to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) or of the issuance of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or of the suspension of the qualification of any Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the 1933 Act concerning the Registration Statement and (v) if the Company or Kimco OP becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with any offering of Shares. In connection with a Terms Agreement, the Company will prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(c) hereof, a pricing supplement with respect to the offer and sale of Shares covered by such Terms Agreement. The Company will effect all filings required under Rule 424(b), in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8). The Company will make reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof as soon as reasonably possible. In the event of any issuance of a notice of objection by the Commission, the Company shall take all necessary action to permit offers and sales of Shares by or through the Agents and the Forward Sellers, including, without limitation, amending the Registration Statement or filing a new shelf registration statement relating thereto. The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Shares prior to the time the initial Prospectus Supplement is filed with the Commission or the time any subsequent Prospectus Supplement that increases gross offering price or number of Shares that may offered and sold under this Agreement from that referenced in the immediately preceding Prospectus Supplement filed with the Commission.

(b)          Continued Compliance with Securities Laws.  The Company will comply with the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of sales of Shares and Confirmation Shares as contemplated in this Agreement, each Confirmation and each Terms Agreement and in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. If at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 and Rule 153 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Prospectus Delivery Rules”) would be required to be delivered) under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of Shares, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or counsel for the Company, to (i) amend the Registration Statement in order that the Registration Statement will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order that the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser or (iii) amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration statement (reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement shall be deemed to include any such new registration statement) or amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the filing of any document incorporated by reference therein, in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations (including, with respect to the filing of a new registration statement, if at any time the Company is no longer eligible to use an automatic shelf registration statement), the Company will promptly (A) give the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agents, as principal, such Agents, written notice of such event or condition, (B) prepare any amendment, supplement or new registration statement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to comply with such requirements and, a reasonable amount of time prior to any proposed filing or use, furnish the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, with copies of any such amendment or supplement and (C) file with the Commission any such amendment, supplement or new registration statement and use its reasonable best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable if the Company is no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not file or use any such amendment or supplement to which any of the Agents, the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers and such Agents or their counsel shall reasonably object.

(c)          Filing or Use of Amendments and Supplements.  The Company will give the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agents, as principal, such Agents written notice (which may be by email) of its intention to file or use (i) any amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement relating to the Shares or any amendment or supplement to the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (other than an amendment or supplement thereto relating solely to the offering of securities unless related to an offering of Shares), whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, (ii) any new Prospectus Supplement that includes information in addition to the information referred to in Section 3(o) hereof or (iii) any pricing supplement disclosing the offer and sale of Shares covered by a Terms Agreement, will furnish the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, with copies of any such document a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the Agents, the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers, such Agents or their counsel shall reasonably object.

(d)          Delivery of Registration Statements.  The Company has furnished or will deliver to the Agents, the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers and their counsel, upon written request, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts. The signed copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Agents, the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers and their counsel will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(e)          Delivery of Prospectuses.  The Company will furnish to the Agents, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agents, as principal, such Agents, without charge, upon execution of this Agreement and thereafter during the period in which a prospectus is (or, but for the exception afforded by the Prospectus Delivery Rules, would be) required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with any offer or sale of Shares, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as any Agent, any Forward Seller, any Forward Purchaser or any such Agent, as the case may be, may reasonably request. The Company will also furnish, upon request of any Agent, any Forward Seller, any Forward Purchaser or any such Agent, as the case may be, copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) to each exchange or market on which sales of Shares were made as may be required by the rules and regulations of such exchange or market. The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished in accordance with this Section will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(f)          Reporting Requirements.  The Company, during the period in which a prospectus is (or, but for the exception afforded by the Prospectus Delivery Rules, would be) required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with any offer or sale of Shares, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act within the time periods prescribed by, and meeting the requirements of, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.

(g)          Blue Sky Qualifications.  The Company will endeavor, in cooperation with the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agents, as principal, such Agents to qualify the Shares and Confirmation Shares for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states of the United States as any Agent, any Forward Seller, any Forward Purchaser or any or such Agent, as the case may be, may, from time to time, reasonably designate and to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required to complete the sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement or the sale and delivery of any Confirmation Shares pursuant to any Confirmation; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to submit generally to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or not already so subject or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(h)          Earnings Statement.  The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.

(i)          REIT Qualification.  The Company will use its best efforts to meet the requirements to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code for the taxable year in which any sales of Shares or Confirmation Shares pursuant to this Agreement or the applicable Confirmation are to occur.

(j)          Use of Proceeds.  The Company will use the Net Proceeds received by it from the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the sale of any Confirmation Shares pursuant to any Confirmation in the manner specified in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

(k)          Listing.  The Company will use its best efforts to effect and maintain the listing of the Shares  and Confirmation Shares on, and satisfy the requirements of, the NYSE.

(l)          Notice of Certain Actions.  During each period commencing on the date of each Sale Instruction and ending after the close of business on the Settlement Date for the related transaction, neither the Company nor Kimco OP will, without giving the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers at least three business days’ prior written notice, (i) directly or indirectly offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or file any registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to any of the foregoing or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such swap, agreement or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.  The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) the Shares or any Confirmation Shares, (B) any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof and referred to in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (C) any shares of Common Stock issued or options to purchase Common Stock granted pursuant to existing employee benefit plans of the Company referred to in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or (D) any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any non-employee director stock plan or dividend reinvestment plan referred to in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Upon receipt of any written notice contemplated above, an Agent or a Forward Seller may suspend its activity under this Agreement for such period of time as deemed appropriate by such party.

(m)          Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the applicable Agents, the applicable Forward Sellers and the applicable Forward Purchasers, it will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” or a portion thereof, required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433. The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each such free writing prospectus consented to by the applicable Agents, the applicable Forward Sellers and the applicable Forward Purchasers as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and that it will comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 433 with respect thereto, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the applicable Agents and, if applicable, the applicable Forward Purchasers and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

(n)          No Stabilization or Manipulation.  None of the Company, Kimco OP or any controlled Affiliate of the Company or Kimco OP will take, directly or indirectly, any action which is designed, or would be reasonably expected, to cause or result in, or which constitutes, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company or Kimco OP to facilitate the sale or resale of any Shares or to result in a violation of Regulation M under the 1934 Act.

(o)          Update of Activity under this Agreement.  The Company shall disclose (i) in each Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Company in respect of any fiscal quarterly period (which, in the case of an Annual Report on Form 10-K, would mean the last quarterly period of the fiscal year) in which sales of Shares were made by or through an Agent or a Forward Seller under this Agreement or any sales or deliveries of Confirmation Shares were made pursuant to a Confirmation (each date on which any such document or amendment thereto is filed, a “Company Periodic Report Date”), or (ii) to the extent required by applicable law and/or interpretations of the Commission, in Prospectus Supplements for each such fiscal quarterly period, the number of Shares sold by or through the Agents and the Forward Sellers under this Agreement, the number of Confirmation Shares sold or delivered, if any, pursuant to any Confirmation, the Net Proceeds received by the Company and the aggregate compensation paid by the Company with respect to such sales and deliveries, in each case during such fiscal quarterly period, and the total number of remaining Confirmation Shares issuable by the Company under any outstanding Confirmations as of the last day of such fiscal quarterly period.

The requirement to provide a certificate under this Section 3(p) shall be waived for any Representation Date occurring at a time at which no Sale Instruction is pending, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers a Sale Instruction hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date; provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply for any Representation Date on which the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently wishes that Shares be offered and sold following a Representation Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide a certificate under this Section 3(p), then before the Company delivers the related Sale Instruction, or an Agent or a Forward Seller elects to offer and sell any Shares, the Company shall provide the certificate pursuant to this Section 3(p), dated the date of the Sale Instruction to the applicable Agents, the applicable Forward Sellers and/or the applicable Forward Purchasers.

(s)          Trading in the Common Stock.  The Company consents to the Agents, the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers and their respective Affiliates trading in the Company’s Common Stock for their own account and for the account of their clients at the same time as sales and deliveries of Shares occur pursuant to this Agreement and any Confirmation.

(t)          Due Diligence Review.  The Company and Kimco OP will cooperate with any due diligence review reasonably requested by any Agent, any Forward Seller, any Forward Purchaser or their counsel, fully and in a timely manner, in connection with offers and sales of Shares from time to time, including, without limitation, and upon reasonable notice, providing information and making available documents and appropriate corporate officers, during regular business hours and at the Company’s principal offices.

(u)          Renewal Deadline.  If any Shares remain unsold, the Company will, prior to the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Renewal Deadline”), (i) promptly notify the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, and (ii) promptly file, if it is eligible to do so, a new automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Shares, in a form and substance satisfactory to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers.

For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation of the Company and Kimco OP to reimburse the applicable parties and in any Confirmation and Terms Agreements for certain expenses as to itself pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall not apply with respect to any Agent, any Forward Seller or any Forward Purchaser that terminates this Agreement, or any subsequent agreement on substantially the same terms, prior to September 15, 2026 for any reason other than the failure by the Company or Kimco OP to satisfy any of their respective obligations hereunder.

Section 6. Indemnification.

(a)          Indemnification of the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers.  Each of the Company and Kimco OP agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Forward Seller, each Forward Purchaser, their respective agents, affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations (each, an “Affiliate”)), officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls such party within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i)          against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii)          against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission referred to in Section 6(a)(i), or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company and Kimco OP;

(iii)          against any and all expense whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by any applicable Agent, any applicable Forward Seller and any applicable Forward Purchaser, as the case may be), as incurred, which was reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company and Kimco OP by an Agent, a Forward Seller or a Forward Purchaser, as the case may be, in writing expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that such information shall solely consist of the name of each Agent and each Forward Seller appearing in the Prospectus Supplement.

(b)          Indemnification of Company, Kimco OP, Directors and Officers.  Each Agent and each Forward Seller, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, Kimco OP, the Company’s directors, each of the Company’s and Kimco OP’s respective officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or Kimco OP within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 6(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the information furnished to the Company and Kimco OP by such Agent or such Forward Seller, as the case may be, in writing expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that such information shall solely consist of the name of each Agent and each Forward Seller appearing in the Prospectus Supplement.

(c)          Actions against Parties; Notification.  Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action. If it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it and approved by the indemnified parties defendant in such action, unless such indemnified parties reasonably object to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses available to them which are different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such action, the indemnifying parties shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereunder in connection with such action. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

Section 7.  Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by Section 6 hereof incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and Kimco OP, on the one hand, and any applicable Agent and any applicable Forward Seller, on the other hand, from the applicable offering of Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and Kimco OP, on the one hand, and any applicable Agent and any applicable Forward Seller, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and Kimco OP, on the one hand, and any applicable Agent or any applicable Forward Seller, on the other hand, in connection with the applicable offering of Shares shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total Net Proceeds from such offering (such total Net Proceeds to be calculated by deducting commissions and discounts (but before deducting expenses) payable to the applicable Agent or the applicable Forward Seller in respect of the Shares sold in such offering but without any further deductions) received by the Company and Kimco OP, on the one hand (and, for purposes of the foregoing, the Company shall be deemed to have received Net Proceeds from the sale of Shares sold through any of the applicable Forward Sellers in an amount equal to the proceeds that would have been received by the Company upon full physical settlement of the Confirmation Shares under such Confirmation, assuming that the aggregate amount payable by the applicable Forward Purchaser to the Company for such Confirmation Shares is equal to the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds received by such Forward Purchaser from the sale of such Shares through such Forward Seller), bear to the sum of the total commissions and discounts received by the applicable Agent or the applicable Forward Seller from such offering, on the other hand. The relative fault of the Company and Kimco OP, on the one hand, and any applicable Agent and any applicable Forward Seller, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and Kimco OP, on the one hand, or by any applicable Agent and any applicable Forward Seller, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company, Kimco OP, the Agents and the Forward Sellers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if any applicable Agent and any applicable Forward Seller were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, none of the Agents and the Forward Sellers shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total commissions and discounts received by such party in connection with Shares sold through such Agent or such Forward Seller or underwritten by such Agent for sale to the public.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Agent, a Forward Seller or a Forward Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Affiliate and selling agent, officer and director of any Agent, any Forward Seller or any Forward Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as such Agent, such Forward Seller or such Forward Purchaser, as applicable, and each director of the Company or Kimco OP, each officer of the Company or Kimco OP who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or Kimco OP within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and Kimco OP. The respective obligations of the applicable Agents and the applicable Forward Sellers to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 in connection with any applicable offering of Shares pursuant to this Agreement are several in proportion to the number of Shares placed or underwritten by it in the applicable offering.

Section 8.  Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive.  All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company and Kimco OP submitted pursuant hereto, and the agreements of the Agents and the Forward Sellers shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of an Agent, any Forward Seller, any Forward Purchaser or any Affiliates, selling agents, officers or directors or any person controlling such party, or the Company, the Company’s directors, Kimco OP or the Company’s or Kimco OP’s respective officers, or any person controlling the Company or Kimco OP and (ii) delivery of and payment for any Shares or any Confirmation Shares.

Section 9.  Termination.

(a)          This Agreement may be terminated for any reason, at any time, by the Company and Kimco OP, by any Agent (as to itself), any Forward Seller (as to itself), or any Forward Purchaser (as to itself), in each case upon the giving of three business days prior written notice to the other parties hereto.

(b)          The applicable Agent(s) may terminate a Terms Agreement to which they are a party, at any time at or prior to the Settlement Date, (i) if there has been, in the judgment of such Agent(s), since the time of execution of such Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of such Agent(s), impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering of Shares contemplated by such Terms Agreement or to enforce contracts for the sale of such Shares, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company or Kimco OP has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NYSE, or (iv) if trading generally on the NYSE or Nasdaq has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other Governmental Entity, or (v) if a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or (vi) if a general banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

(c)          If the Company and two or more Agents enter into a Terms Agreement pursuant to which such Agents agree to purchase Shares from the Company as principal and one or more of such Agents shall fail at the Settlement Date to purchase the Shares which it or they are obligated to purchase (the “Defaulted Shares”), then the non-defaulting Agents shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one of them or one or more other Agents or underwriters to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Shares upon the terms set forth in such Terms Agreement; provided, however, that if such arrangements shall not have been completed within such 24-hour period, then:

(i)          if the number of Defaulted Shares does not exceed 10% of the number of Shares to be so purchased by all of such Agents pursuant to such Terms Agreement on the Settlement Date, the non-defaulting Agents shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective initial purchase obligation bears to the purchase obligations of all non-defaulting Agents; or

(ii)          if the number of Defaulted Shares exceeds 10% of the number of Shares to be so purchased by all of such Agents pursuant to such Terms Agreement on the Settlement Date, such Terms Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Agent.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 9(c) shall relieve any defaulting Agent from liability in respect of its default.  In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of such Terms Agreement, either the non-defaulting Agents or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Settlement Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Agent” includes any person substituted for an Agent under this Section 9.

(d)          In the event of any termination under this Section 9, no party will have any liability to another party hereto, except that (i) the Agents and the Forward Sellers shall be entitled to any commissions earned in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, (ii) if at the time of termination (a) an Agent shall own any Shares purchased by it as principal or (b) an offer to purchase any Shares has been accepted by the Company but the Settlement Date for delivery of such Shares has not occurred, the covenants set forth in Section 3 hereof shall remain in effect until such Shares are resold or so delivered, as the case may be, and (iii) the covenant set forth in Section 3(h) hereof, the provisions of Section 4 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, this section 9(d) and the provisions of Sections 8, 12, 13, 14 and 15 hereof shall remain in effect; provided, however, the obligation of the Company and Kimco OP to reimburse the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers for certain expenses pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall not apply with respect to any Agent, any Forward Seller or any Forward Purchaser that terminates this Agreement, or any subsequent agreement on substantially the same terms, prior to September 15, 2023 for any reason other than the failure by the Company or Kimco OP to satisfy any of their respective obligations hereunder.

Section 10.  Notices.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, all statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication, and if to the Agents, the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers, the Company or Kimco OP, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmissions to as follows:
