Notwithstanding the foregoing, leases shall continue to be classified and accounted for on a basis consistent with that reflected in the audited consolidated financial statements of Kimco for the fiscal year December 31, 2015 for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any change in GAAP relating thereto, unless the requisite parties hereto shall enter into a mutually acceptable amendment addressing such changes.


 


SECTION 1.4     [Reserved].


 


SECTION 1.5     Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, Section 2.8(c) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Kimco, pursuant to Section 2.8(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.8(c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.8(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Eurocurrency Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.


 





 










 








 


SECTION 1.6     [Reserved].


 


SECTION 1.7     Divisions.


 


For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

THE LOANS


 


SECTION 2.1     [Reserved].


 


SECTION 2.2     Loans; Etc.


 


(a)     Commitments.


 


(i)     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (“Loans”) to the Borrower in Dollars on the Effective Date in the amount requested by the Borrower, which shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment.


 


(ii)     Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the Commitments. 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 of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.


 


(iii)     Subject to Section 2.8 and Section 2.10, Loans may from time to time be Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans or a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2(d) and 2.4. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make 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 2.12, 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 “Term Loan 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 thereof) annexed to and constituting a part of its Term Loan 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)     Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay all then outstanding Loans made to the Borrower on the Termination Date to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in Dollars.


 


(d)     Procedure for Borrowing Loans. The Borrower may borrow Loans on the Effective Date (if a Business Day), 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 requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Loans are to be initially Eurocurrency Loans or (ii) on the Business Day which is the requested Borrowing Date, if the requested Loans are to be initially ABR Loans), specifying (A) the aggregate amount to be borrowed, (B) the requested Borrowing Date, (C) whether the Borrowing is to be of Eurocurrency Loans or 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. Upon receipt of any 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 each such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.2 prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower 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. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders as requested by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement.


 


(e)     Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrowing, prepayments, conversions and continuations of 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, there shall be no more than four (4) Eurocurrency Tranches outstanding at any one time.


 


(f)     Termination of Commitments. Any and all unused Commitments shall automatically terminate on the earlier of (i) the funding of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 on the Effective Date and (ii) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Effective Date.


 


SECTION 2.3     Optional Prepayments. 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 2.2(e) and Section 2.13), in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon 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. Any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or before 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 2.13. Subject to Section 2.2(e), partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans). Any Loans that are prepaid may not be reborrowed.


 





 










 








 


SECTION 2.4     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 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 2.2(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 Maturity Date.


 


(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 2.2(e) would be contravened, or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity 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 2.4(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.


 


SECTION 2.5     Fees. Kimco shall pay to parties to the Fee Letter, for their respective own accounts (as applicable), and, to the extent mutually agreed upon by such parties, for the account of the Lenders, the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by Kimco pursuant to the Fee Letter.


 


SECTION 2.6     Interest Rates and Payment Dates.


 


(a)     Each Loan shall bear interest (i) if a Eurocurrency Loan, 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 and (ii) if an ABR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.


 


(b)     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 2.6 plus 2% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, fee or other amount, the rate described in Section 2.6(a)(ii) 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).


 





 










 








 


(c)     Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.6(b) shall be payable from time to time on demand.


 


SECTION 2.7     Computation of Interest and Fees.


 


(a)     Interest (other than interest calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate 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 2.8     Market Disruption and Alternate Rate of Interest.


 


(a)     [Reserved].


 


(b)     If prior to the first day of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Loan:


 


(i)     the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for the applicable Interest Period (including because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis); provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or


 


(ii)     the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Eurocurrency Rate for the applicable Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,


 


then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any interest election request pursuant to Section 2.4 that requests continuation of (or conversion to) any Eurocurrency Loan for such applicable Interest Period shall be ineffective, and (B) such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Loan. The Administrative Agent shall not make a determination described in Section 2.8(b)(i), and no Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent as described in Section 2.8(b)(ii) unless the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, is then generally making similar determinations or delivering similar advice, in each case, under other credit facilities to which it is a party with borrowers or account parties that are similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness to the Borrower.


 





 










 








 


(c)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Eurocurrency Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of Eurocurrency Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.8 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.


 


(d)     In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.


 


(e)     The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.8, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.8.


 


(f)     Upon Kimco’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (A) any interest election request pursuant to Section 2.4 that requests continuation of (or conversion to) any Eurocurrency Loan for such applicable Interest Period shall be ineffective and the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a conversion to ABR Loans and (B) all Eurocurrency Loans shall be converted to ABR Loans at the end of their then-continuing Interest Periods, and from and after the end of such Interest Periods and for the duration of the Benchmark Unavailability Period, all Loans shall be ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of the ABR based upon LIBOR will not be used in any determination of ABR.


 


(g)     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8 or anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, any Benchmark Replacement and Benchmark Replacement Adjustment agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall be on terms no less favorable to the Borrower than corresponding terms in credit facilities to which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serves as administrative agent with borrowers similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness to the Borrower, in general, but not necessarily all such credit facilities with respect to which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serves as administrative agent; provided, further, that nothing in this clause (g) shall obligate the Administrative Agent to disclose any information regarding other borrowers or facilities.


 





 










 








 


SECTION 2.9     Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.


 


(a)     Each borrowing by the Borrower of Loans and each payment by the Borrower on account of any fees hereunder, as applicable, shall be made 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 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 in Dollars 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 10.2 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 on the Borrowing Date therefor, 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 2.9(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 such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the rate per annum applicable to such Borrowing, on demand, from the Borrower.


 


SECTION 2.10     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 2.13.


 





 










 








 


SECTION 2.11     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 included in the Eurocurrency Rate), special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge, 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, cost or expense affecting this Agreement (other than Taxes); or


 


(iii)     subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, 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 2.11(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 or account parties similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness 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 liquidity or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (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 or liquidity 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 liquidity and such Lender’s treatment of its Commitments and 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; provided that such amounts shall be no greater than amounts that such Lender is generally charging other borrowers or account parties similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness to the Borrower.


 





 










 








 


(c)     [Reserved]


 


(d)     A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.11 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 2.11 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 2.11, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any greater amounts than such Lender(s) is (are) generally charging other borrowers or account parties similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness to the Borrower.


 


(e)     For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.11 (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 2.12, and (iii) shall not relieve any Lender of any obligation pursuant to Section 2.12.


 


SECTION 2.12     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.


 


(b)     Indemnification by each Loan Party. Without duplication of any payments made pursuant to Section 2.12(a), each Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are directly paid or payable by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.12(b)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity under this Section 2.12(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 2.12(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.


 


(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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower 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 2.12(d)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.12(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 Borrower 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.


 


(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 the Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the 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 or IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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 or IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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 or IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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 the 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 2.12(d)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


 


(e)     Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.12 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.12(e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12(e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.12(e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.


 





 










 








 


(f)     Survival. Each party’s obligation under this Section 2.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement, and the payment of the Loans, and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 


SECTION 2.13     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 a borrowing of 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.


 


SECTION 2.14     Change of Lending Office.


 


Each Lender and each Transferee agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12 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 any 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 2.14 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender or Transferee pursuant to Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12.


 





 










 








 


SECTION 2.15     Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.


 


Kimco shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.12, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10 and as a result thereof any of the actions described in Section 2.10 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 Required Lenders has been obtained but that requires the consent of additional Lenders pursuant to any Loan Document, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; 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 2.13 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 10.6 (provided that Kimco 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 2.11 or 2.12, 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 Loans hereunder.


 


SECTION 2.16     [Reserved].


 


SECTION 2.17     Defaulting Lenders.


 


Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:


 


(a)     the Commitment and Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby; and


 


(b)     any amount payable by the Borrower to a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender when paid by the Borrower, and in satisfaction of any such payment obligation, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any requirements of applicable law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion (i) first, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (ii) second, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Kimco, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (iii) third, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (iv) fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, (v) fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans which a Defaulting Lender has not funded, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans of any Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.


 





 










 








 


In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender (provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time), then the Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.


 


ARTICLE III



[RESERVED]


 


ARTICLE IV



REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


 


To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make or maintain the Loans, Kimco hereby represents and warrants, on the Effective Date and on each other Representation and Warranty Date, as to itself only, and not as to any other Loan Party, to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1, neither Kimco nor any of the Consolidated Entities has, at the Effective Date, any material Indebtedness, Guarantee Obligation, contingent liability or liability for taxes, or any unusual forward or long-term commitment, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto.

SECTION 4.2     No Change.


 


Since December 31, 2019, there has been no development or event nor any prospective development or event, which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a)     Kimco (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except to the extent the failure to be so qualified and in good standing could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(b)     Each Subsidiary (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the corporate (or limited partnership or limited liability company or other form of organization, as applicable) power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation (or limited partnership or limited liability company or other form of organization, as applicable) and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, and (iv) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except, in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, as could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


SECTION 4.4     Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.


 


Each applicable Loan Party has the corporate (or limited partnership or limited liability company or other form of organization, as applicable) power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform each Loan Document to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder, and each applicable Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate (or limited partnership or limited liability company or other form of organization, as applicable) action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of each Loan Document to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of any Loan Document. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each applicable Loan Party party thereto. Each Loan Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each applicable Loan Party party thereto enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether sought by proceedings in equity or at law).


 


SECTION 4.5     No Legal Bar.


 


(a)     The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and the Borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of Kimco and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, except, in each case, where the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 





 










 








 


(b)     The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and the Borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the applicable Loan Party other than Kimco and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, except, in each of the foregoing cases, where the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


SECTION 4.6     No Material Litigation.


 


No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the actual knowledge of Kimco, threatened in writing by or against Kimco or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


SECTION 4.7     No Default.


 


Neither Kimco nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.


 


SECTION 4.8     Ownership of Property.


 


Each of Kimco and its Subsidiaries has good record title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of its material real property, and good title to all of its other material property, except, in each case, where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


SECTION 4.9     Intellectual Property.


 


Kimco and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes (“Intellectual Property”) necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted except for those the failure to own or license which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does Kimco know of any valid basis for any such claim, except, in each case, for any claim that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of such Intellectual Property by Kimco and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


SECTION 4.10     No Burdensome Restrictions; Disclosure.


 


No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of Kimco or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No written information, other than financial projections and information of a general economic or industry nature, furnished by Kimco or by any of its representatives on Kimco’s behalf to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), when furnished and when taken as a whole, contained any untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, taken as a whole, not materially misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided that, with respect to financial projections made available by Kimco or by any of its representatives on Kimco’s behalf to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder, Kimco represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time when made, it being understood and agreed that projections are by their nature inherently uncertain and are not a guarantee of financial performance, that actual results may differ from projections and that such differences may be material.


 





 










 








 


SECTION 4.11     Taxes.


 


Each of Kimco and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to the actual knowledge of Kimco, are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than (a) any taxes, fees, or other charges the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Kimco or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the actual knowledge of Kimco, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.


 


SECTION 4.12     Federal Regulations.


 


No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U of the Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose which violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation U.


 


SECTION 4.13     ERISA.


 


No Reportable Event has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan maintained by Kimco or any Commonly Controlled Entity (based on those assumptions used to fund the Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. The present value (determined using actuarial and other assumptions which are reasonable in respect of the benefits provided and the employees participating) of the liability of the Borrower and each Commonly Controlled Entity for post-retirement benefits to be provided to their current and former employees under Plans which are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) equals or exceeds the assets under all such Plans allocable to such benefits.

ARTICLE IX



THE AGENTS


 


SECTION 9.1     Appointment and Authorization.


 


Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations for the benefit of the Lenders other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations to the Lenders arising under agency doctrine of any Requirement of Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered or otherwise made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Indebtedness), the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to the Lenders to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Indebtedness; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Requirements of Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Required Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders. The provisions of this Article IX (other than Section 9.8) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article IX, none of the Borrower, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Other than as set forth in Section 9.8, nothing in this Article shall relate to, govern or limit the obligations of the Administrative Agent to the Borrower or the rights of the Borrower with respect to the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Article IX shall survive the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments and the termination of this Agreement.


 





 










 








 


SECTION 9.2     Administrative Agent as Lender.


 


The Lender acting as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as any other Lender, and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, Borrower’s Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.


 


SECTION 9.3     Approvals of Lenders.


 


All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent or approval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, consent or approval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the requested determination, consent or approval (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such.


 


SECTION 9.4     Notice of Events of Default.


 


The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to the Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.


 





 










 








 


SECTION 9.5     Administrative Agent’s Reliance.


 


Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its related parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein, in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its related parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability to any Lender in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability to any Lender under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or attorney-in-fact as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.


 


SECTION 9.6     Indemnification of Administrative Agent.


 


Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of- pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable reimbursement is sought) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Indebtedness, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.


 





 










 








 


SECTION 9.7     Lender Credit Decision, Etc.


 


Each of the Lenders expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its related parties has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective related parties, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, Borrower’s Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, Borrower’s Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective related parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its related parties. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender.


 


SECTION 9.8     Successor Administrative Agent.


 


The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the sooner to occur of (x) the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or (y) sixty (60) days after the giving of such written notice. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, by the date that is sixty (60) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an assignee permitted by Section 10.6(b); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further that such Lenders so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender were itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.


 





 










 








 


SECTION 9.9     Titled Agents.


 


Each of the Syndication Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, and the Joint Book Runners listed on the cover page to this Agreement (each a “Titled Agent”) in each such capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loan, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.


 


SECTION 9.10     Certain ERISA Matters(a)     Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Joint Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(iii)     (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or


 


(iv)     such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.


 


(b)     In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Joint Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, or any Joint Lead Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).


 


(c)     The Administrative Agent, and each Joint Lead Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

Subject to Section 2.8(c), Section 2.8(d) and Section 10.8, the Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required 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 Required 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 extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note (except as set forth in Section 10.9), 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 the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.1, change Section 2.9(a), Section 10.11(a) or Section 10.22 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by Kimco 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”, 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, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article IX or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent without the written consent of the then Administrative Agent, or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.17 without the written consent of the 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.

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 shall not be effective until received.


 


(b)     Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, that (x) approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications, (y) for the avoidance of doubt, as and from the date hereof until the Borrower provide written notice to the Administrative Agent otherwise, the Borrower do not agree to accept notices or other communications hereunder by electronic communications, and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, as and from the date hereof until the Administrative Agent provides written notice to the Borrower otherwise, the Administrative Agent does not agree to accept notices or other communications hereunder by electronic communications.


 





 










 








 


Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.


 


(c)     Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.


 


(d)     Electronic Systems.


 


(i)     Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the other Lenders by posting the Communications (as defined below) on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System.


 


(ii)     Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent and the Communications are provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Electronic System. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. Each of the Lenders and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through the Electronic System is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Electronic System, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Other than (solely with respect to direct damages arising therefrom) in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of this Agreement by, an Agent Party (as defined below) to the extent determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, in no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through an Electronic System. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.


 


(iii)     Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Electronic System shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.


 





 










 








 


(iv)     Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.


 


SECTION 10.3     No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.


 


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. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.


 


SECTION 10.4     Survival of Representations and Warranties.


 


All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of the extensions of credit hereunder.


 


SECTION 10.5     Payment of Expenses and Taxes.


 


Kimco agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent; (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable costs and expenses (including post-judgment costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the several Lenders; (c) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their affiliates (and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents) from and against, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, documentary, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any such other documents; and (d) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their affiliates (and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents) from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (and regardless of whether pre-judgment or post-judgment) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of Kimco, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided that (x) Kimco shall have no obligation hereunder to any indemnitee with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnitee to the extent determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, and (y) this clause (d) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 





 










 








 


SECTION 10.6     Successors and Assigns.


 


For purposes of this Section 10.6 the term “Related Parties” shall have the meaning given thereto in Section 9.1 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)     (i)     Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than an Ineligible Institution) 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 Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:


 


(A)     Kimco, provided that (I) no consent of Kimco 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) Kimco 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 Loan to an assignee that is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.


 


(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 Loans, the amount of the 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 Kimco and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of Kimco 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 in respect of its Loans 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 (including electronic records generated by the use of an electronic platform) approved by the Administrative Agent (an “Assignment and Assumption”) (or to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Electronic System as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants), together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,000 (which, except as provided in Section 2.15, 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 be made to any Ineligible Institution.


 


(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 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 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, and principal amount 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 2.9(b), 3.4, 3.5 or 9.2, 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 Ineligible Institution) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its Loans under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of 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 10.1 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.12(d) (it being understood that the documentation requirement under Section 2.12(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) 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 2.9 and 2.15 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 2.11 or 2.12, 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 10.11(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.11(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 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 this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such 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.


 


(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 or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, 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 10.7     Disclosure.


 


Subject to Section 10.19, 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 10.8     Incremental Commitments.


 


Kimco may from time to time request new term loan commitments to be established (the “Incremental Commitments”), in minimum increments of $10,000,000 (or whole multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of $10,000,000), provided that the total combined amount of the Incremental Commitments under this Section 10.8 shall be limited to $750,000,000 in the aggregate. Any Lender, any lender under the Revolving Credit Facility, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Kimco, any other additional bank, financial institution or other entity that is not then a Lender may elect to become a Lender hereunder and make an Incremental Commitment. No Lender shall have any obligation to make any Incremental Commitment, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or the Syndication Agents have any obligation to locate banks, financial institutions or other entities willing to make any Incremental Commitment. If (x) existing or new Lenders are willing to provide such Incremental Commitments, term loans may be made hereunder (the “New Term Loans”) by such Lenders (each, a “New Term Lender”). Each Incremental Commitment under this Section 10.8 is subject to the following conditions:


 


(a)     Each of the representations and warranties made by Kimco in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects) on and as of the effective date of such Incremental Commitment as if made on and as of such date except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; and


 


(b)     (i) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the effective date of such Incremental Commitment or after giving effect thereto and (ii) Kimco would be in compliance with each financial covenant set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of Section 7.1 if the ratio or amount referred to therein were to be calculated as of the most recent Test Period as to which a compliance certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(b) after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of Indebtedness, if any, under such Incremental Commitments, on the effective date of such Incremental Commitments, and the use of proceeds thereof.


 


Each request for an Incremental Commitment under this Section 10.8 shall constitute a representation and warranty by Kimco as of the date of such Incremental Commitment that the conditions contained in this Section 10.8 have been satisfied, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Kimco to such effect.


 


Any Incremental Commitments hereunder shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of an amendment to this Agreement by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the New Term Lenders providing such Incremental Commitments, a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by the Administrative Agent promptly after execution thereof. Each such amendment executed in connection with an Incremental Commitment hereunder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the good faith judgment of Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 10.8 and the Incremental Commitments, subject to approval by the Borrower and the New Term Lenders, as applicable, including without limitation to (x) include the New Term Lenders as “Lenders” hereunder, (y) to include the New Term Loans as “Loans” hereunder, and (z) to include the New Term Lenders and their New Term Loans for purposes of the definition of “Required Lenders”. All such amendments and joinder agreements entered into with the Borrower by the Administrative Agent and the New Term Lenders shall be binding and conclusive on all Lenders.


 





 










 








 


On the effective date of any New Term Commitments, (a) each New Term Lender shall make a New Term Loan to the Borrowers in an amount equal to its New Term Commitment, and (b) each New Term Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Commitments and the New Term Loans made pursuant thereto. Any New Term Loans made on such effective date shall be have the same terms as the Loans made on the Effective Date, shall rank pari passu with the Loans made on the Effective Date, and shall form a part of the same series as the Loans made on the Effective Date.


 


SECTION 10.9     Extension of Maturity Date.


 


By written notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Maturity Extension Notice”) not earlier than twelve (12) months nor later than one (1) month before the Maturity Date for the Facility specified in clause (i) of the definition of the term “Maturity Date” (the “Original Maturity Date”), Kimco may extend the Maturity Date for the Facility to the date one (1) year after the Original Maturity Date (the “Extended Maturity Date”) subject to the satisfaction on the applicable extension date of each of the applicable Extension Conditions. The Maturity Extension Notice shall constitute a representation and warranty by Kimco as of the applicable extension date that the Extension Conditions required to be satisfied as of such date (as set forth in the definition of “Extension Conditions”) have been satisfied, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Kimco to such effect. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any such extension.


 


SECTION 10.10     Subsidiary Guarantors. 


 


(a)     At the election of Kimco at any time and from time to time, at the time of such election, one or more Wholly Owned Subsidiaries shall become a guarantor of the Facility (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor”) by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, a Subsidiary Guarantee; provided that (x) each such Wholly Owned Subsidiary shall satisfy the Baseline Conditions on and as of the date such Wholly Owned Subsidiary delivers its Subsidiary Guarantee and (y) Kimco shall be deemed to represent and warrant as of such date that such proposed Subsidiary Guarantor is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary. If the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in accordance with applicable laws and regulations in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably and customarily requested by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be satisfied (in good faith) it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar verifications under all applicable laws and regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, no Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is not a U.S. Person (or, if such Wholly Owned Subsidiary is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, has an owner that is not a U.S. Person) shall guarantee any obligation of the Borrower that is a U.S. Person (or, if the Borrower is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of its owner).

(b)     In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender and each of its Affiliates shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to set off and appropriate and apply against any amounts due hereunder or under any Notes at such time, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, obligations, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with Kimco and the Administrative Agent.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel, consultants, service providers and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body, to the extent requested thereby, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar compulsory legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, (i) to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower that is not, to the knowledge of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, subject to confidentiality obligations to Kimco or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 10.21     USA Patriot Act.


 


Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.

SECTION 10.22     [Reserved].

SECTION 10.24     Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.


 


SECTION 10.25     Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:


 


(a)     the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and


 


(b)     the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:


 


(i)     a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;


 


(ii)     a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or


 


(iii)     the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.


 


SECTION 10.26     Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.


 


To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):


 





 










 








 


In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.


 


As used in this Section 10.26, the following terms have the following meanings:


 


“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.


 


“Covered Entity” means any of the following:


 


	 	
			(i)

				
			a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

			



 


	 	
			(ii)

				
			a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

			



 


	 	
			(iii)

				
			a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

			



 


“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.


 


“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

[FORM OF] SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE


 


SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE, dated as of [ ___________], 20__ (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Subsidiary Guarantee”), made by each of the subsidiaries of KIMCO REALTY CORPORATION (“Kimco” or the “Borrower”) that are signatories hereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), in favor of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the several banks, financial institutions and other entities from time to time party to the Term Loan Agreement (the “Lenders”), dated as of April 1, 2020 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Kimco, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and the other agents party thereto.


 


W I T N E S S E T H:


 


WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have severally made Loans to the Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the “Extensions of Credit”); 


 


WHEREAS, Kimco owns directly or indirectly all or a portion of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of each Subsidiary Guarantor;


 


WHEREAS, the proceeds of the Extensions of Credit will be used in part to enable the Borrower to make valuable transfers to each Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with the operation of its business; and


 


WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors are engaged in related businesses, and each Subsidiary Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of and/or the availability of the Extensions of Credit;


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective Loans to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree with the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as follows:


 


1.     Defined Terms. (a) Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.


 


(b)     As used herein, “Obligations” means the collective reference to the unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans, the Notes and all other obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (including, without limitation, interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the maturity of the Loans and interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter incurred, which may arise under, out of, or in connection with, the Credit Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents or any other document made, delivered or given in connection therewith, whether on account of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise and whether prejudgment or post-judgment (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that are required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document).


 


 


 





 










 








 


 


(c)     The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Subsidiary Guarantee shall refer to this Subsidiary Guarantee as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Subsidiary Guarantee, and section references are to this Subsidiary Guarantee unless otherwise specified.


 


(d)     The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.


 


2.     Subsidiary Guarantee. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2(b), each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.


 


(b)     Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.


 


(c)     Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all expenses (whether prejudgment or post-judgment and including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guarantee. This Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto the Borrower or any of them may be free from any Obligations.


 


(d)     Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder without impairing this Subsidiary Guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.


 


(e)     No payment or payments made by the Borrower, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off 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 any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments other than payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or payments received or collected from such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Obligations, remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, the Commitments are terminated.


 


(f)     Each Subsidiary Guarantor 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 hereunder, it will notify the Administrative Agent in writing that such payment is made under this Subsidiary Guarantee for such purpose.

3.     Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5 hereof. The provisions of this Section 3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.


 


4.     Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender are hereby authorized, without notice to such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Subsidiary Guarantor, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of such Subsidiary Guarantor, or any part thereof, in such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent or such Lender against such Subsidiary Guarantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Documents or otherwise, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall notify such Subsidiary Guarantor promptly of any such setoff and the application made by the Administrative Agent or such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 4 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.


 


5.     No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any of the Subsidiary Guarantors by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or guarantee or right of offset held by any Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Subsidiary Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower on account of the Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held by such Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, shall be segregated from other funds of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Subsidiary Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.


 


6.     Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Subsidiary Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Subsidiary Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded

by such party and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, 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 the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent, all of the Lenders and/or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, may deem advisable from time to time, and any guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. When making any demand hereunder against any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or guarantor, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any such other Subsidiary Guarantor or guarantor or any release of the Borrower or such other Subsidiary Guarantor or guarantor shall not relieve any of the Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors not so released of their joint and several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any of the Subsidiary Guarantors. For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.


 


7.     Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Subsidiary Guarantor 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 this Subsidiary Guarantee or acceptance of this Subsidiary Guarantee; 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 this Subsidiary Guarantee; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Subsidiary Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor understands and agrees that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations 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) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or other obligor in respect of any of the Obligations against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Obligations, or of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any 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 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 guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower or any such other Person or any guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve such Subsidiary Guarantor of any liability hereunder, 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 such Subsidiary Guarantor. This Subsidiary Guarantee


 


4


 





 










 








 


shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, until all the Obligations and the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guarantee shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Obligations.


 


8.     Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsidiary Guarantee, this Subsidiary Guarantee 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 any Subsidiary Guarantor, 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 Subsidiary Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.


 


9.     Payments. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim, in the currency of the applicable Obligation, at the office of the Administrative Agent located at 550 South Tryon Street, 6th Floor, Charlotte, NC 28202 or to such other office as the Administrative Agent may hereafter specify by notice to such Subsidiary Guarantor.


 


10.     Representations and Warranties;  Covenants. (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that (i) the Baseline Conditions relating to it are satisfied in all material respects on and as of the date hereof; and (ii) it is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary; provided that each reference in any representation and warranty to the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this paragraph (a), be deemed to be a reference to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s knowledge.


 


(b)     Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent and each Lender that, from and after the date of this Subsidiary Guarantee until the Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that no violation of any provision, covenant or agreement contained in Articles VI or VII of the Credit Agreement, and so that no Default or Event of Default, is caused by any act or failure to act of such Subsidiary Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.


 


11.     Authority of Agent. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Subsidiary Guarantee shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.


 


12.     Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any


 


 


 


5


 





 










 








 


Subsidiary Guarantor shall be addressed to such Subsidiary Guarantor at the notice address set forth under its signature below.


 


13.     Counterparts. This Subsidiary Guarantee may be executed by one or more of the Subsidiary


Guarantors on any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the counterparts of this Subsidiary Guarantee signed by all the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be lodged with the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Subsidiary Guarantee by any electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Subsidiary Guarantee.


 


14.     Severability. Any provision of this Subsidiary Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in


any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.


 


15.     Integration. This Subsidiary Guarantee represents the entire agreement of each Subsidiary


Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises or representations by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected herein.


 


16.     Amendments in Writing; No Novation; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. (a) None of the terms


or provisions of this Subsidiary Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the affected Subsidiary Guarantor(s) and the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.


 


(b)     Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.


 


(c)     The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.


 


17.     Section Headings. The section headings used in this Subsidiary Guarantee are for convenience of


reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.


 


18.     Successors and Assigns. This Subsidiary Guarantee shall be binding upon the respective


successors and assigns of each Subsidiary Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Subsidiary Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Subsidiary Guarantee without the prior written consent of each Lender, and any such assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void.

19.     Governing Law. This Subsidiary Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted


in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.


 


20.     Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably and


unconditionally:


 


(a)     submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Subsidiary Guarantee and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;


 


(b)     consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;


 


(c)     agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, at its address set forth under its signature below;


 


(d)     agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and


 


(e)     waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 20 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.


 


21.     WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR HEREBY


IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

Additional Terms and Conditions to the Disbursement Instruction Agreement


 


Definitions. The following capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth below:


 


“Authorized Representative” means any or all of the Closing Disbursement Authorizers, Subsequent Disbursement Authorizers and Restricted Account Disbursement Authorizers, as applicable.


 


“Receiving Bank” means the financial institution where a Receiving Party maintains its account.


 


“Receiving Party” means the ultimate recipient of funds pursuant to a Disbursement Request.


 


“Restricted Account” means an account at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. associated with the Loan to which Borrower’s access is restricted.


 


Capitalized terms used in these Additional Terms and Conditions to Disbursement Instruction Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the body of the Agreement.


 


Disbursement Requests. Except as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent must receive Disbursement Requests in writing. Disbursement Requests will only be accepted from the applicable Authorized Representatives designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement. Disbursement Requests will be processed subject to satisfactory completion of Administrative Agent’s customer verification procedures. Administrative Agent is only responsible for making a good faith effort to execute each Disbursement Request and may use agents of its choice to execute Disbursement Requests. Funds disbursed pursuant to a Disbursement Request may be transmitted directly to the Receiving Bank, or indirectly to the Receiving Bank through another bank, government agency, or other third party that Administrative Agent considers to be reasonable. Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each Disbursement will be made. Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a Disbursement Request if the Disbursement would: (i) violate the terms of this Agreement; (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to Administrative Agent or Lenders or prohibited by government authority; (iii) cause Administrative Agent or Lenders to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline; or (iv) otherwise cause Administrative Agent or Lenders to violate any applicable law or regulation.


 


Limitation of Liability. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall not be liable to Borrower or any other parties for: (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which Borrower’s requested Disbursements may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender; (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent’s, or any Lender’s control; or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (A) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (B) Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement. IN NO EVENT WILL ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IF A DISBURSEMENT REQUEST IS EXECUTED BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN GOOD FAITH AN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.


 


Reliance on Information Provided. Administrative Agent is authorized to rely on the information provided by Borrower or any Authorized Representative in or in accordance with this Agreement when executing a Disbursement Request until Administrative Agent has received a new Agreement signed by Borrower. Borrower agrees to be bound by any Disbursement Request: (i) authorized or transmitted by Borrower; or (ii) made in Borrower’s name and accepted by Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with this Agreement, even if not properly authorized by Borrower. Administrative Agent may rely solely (i) on the account number of the Receiving Party, rather than the Receiving Party’s name, and (ii) on the bank routing number of the Receiving Bank, rather than the Receiving Bank’s name, in executing a Disbursement Request. Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by Borrower or an Authorized Representative. If Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfers or requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized Disbursement Requests, Borrower agrees that, no matter how many times Administrative Agent takes these actions, Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future, and such actions shall not become any part of the Disbursement procedures authorized herein, in the Loan Documents, or in any agreement between Administrative Agent and Borrower.


 


International Disbursements. A Disbursement Request expressed in US Dollars will be sent in US Dollars, even if the Receiving Party or Receiving Bank is located outside the United States. Administrative Agent will not execute Disbursement Requests expressed in foreign currency unless permitted by the Credit Agreement.


 


Errors. Borrower agrees to notify Administrative Agent of any errors in the Disbursement of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized Disbursement Requests within fourteen (14) days after Administrative Agent’s confirmation to Borrower of such Disbursement.


 


Finality of Disbursement Requests. Disbursement Requests will be final and will not be subject to stop payment or recall; provided that Administrative Agent may, at Borrower’s request, make an effort to effect a stop payment or recall but will incur no liability whatsoever for its failure or inability to do so.
