During Executive’s Term of Employment or Renewed Term of Employment, if any, with the Company, Executive will not use or disclose to any individual or entity any Confidential Information (as defined below) except (i) in the performance of Executive's duties for the Company, (ii) as authorized in writing by the Company, or (iii) as required by law or legal process, provided that prior written notice of such required disclosure is provided to the Company and that all reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such information shall be made.  

(ii)

As used herein, "Confidential Information" shall mean information that (i) is used or potentially useful in the Company's business, (ii) the Company treats as proprietary, private or confidential, and (iii) is not generally known to the public.  "Confidential Information" includes, without limitation, information relating to the Company's products or services; marketing, selling or business or development plans; current or prospective customer, client, landlord, owner and tenant lists and data, trade secrets, call lists, manuals, policies, memoranda, notes, records, technical data, sketches, plans, drawings, formulae, research and development data, sources of supply and material, operating and

(b)

Non-Solicitation.   

(i)

Upon termination of employment for any reason, for the longer of (A) the period of time during which Executive is receiving any form of compensation from the Company (including compensation being paid pursuant to Section 8 above) or, (B) one (1) year from the termination of his employment, Executive shall not in any capacity employ or solicit for employment, or recommend that another person employ or solicit for employment, any person who is then and was at any time during Executive's employment an employee, sales representative or agent of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

(ii)

Upon termination of employment for any reason, for the longer of (A) the period of time during which Executive is receiving any form of compensation from the Company (including compensation being paid pursuant to Section 8 above) or, (B) one (1) year from the termination of his employment, Executive will not, on behalf of himself, or any other person, firm or corporation, solicit any of the Company's customers, clients, landlords, owners, tenants, and business or joint venture partners with whom he has had contact while working for the Company; nor will Executive in any way, directly or indirectly, for himself, or any other person, firm, corporation or entity, divert, or take away any of the Company's customers, clients, landlords, owners, tenants, suppliers and business or joint venture partners with whom Executive has had contact.  For purposes of this Section, the term "contact" shall mean engaging in any communication, whether written or oral, with the customer, client, landlord, owner, tenant, supplier and business or joint venture partner or any representative thereof, or obtaining any information with respect to such customer, client, landlord, owner, tenant, supplier and business or joint venture partner or representative thereof that results in a loss of existing business for Kimco.  If Executive breaches this provision, the non-solicitation period of one (1) year shall not expire until the Executive is out of breach for a period of one (1) year.

(c)

Remedies for Breach of Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation Provisions of this Agreement.  Executive acknowledges that this Section 11, its terms and his compliance are necessary to protect the Company's Confidential and Proprietary Information, its business and its goodwill, and that a breach of any of Executive's promises contained in this Section 11 will irreparably and continually damage the Company to an extent that money damages may not be adequate.  For these reasons, Executive agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of this Section 11, the Company shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction restraining Executive from such breach, without the posting of a bond.  Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available for such breach or threatened breach or any other breach of this Agreement.  The Company and Executive further acknowledge and agree that it may be difficult, if not impossible; to compute the actual damages that will be suffered by the Company upon Executive’s violation of this Section 11.  It is agreed, therefore, that in the event Executive breaches these provisions, Executive shall forfeit any payments due under the Agreement.

(d)

Effect of Termination of Employment.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7(f) of this Agreement, the period of Executive's employment for purposes of determining the applicability of the restrictions contained in Section 11 of this Agreement shall include any period during which Executive is employed by the Company's successors or assigns.

Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the following rules shall apply to any 409A Severance Compensation in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”):




(a)

If the termination of the Executive’s employment does not qualify as a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) from the “Company’s Controlled Group”, then any 409A Severance compensation will not commence until a “separation from 






Page 8 of 10 






service” occurs or, if earlier, the earliest other date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code.  For this purpose, the “Company’s Controlled Group” means the Company (i) any corporation which is a member of a controlled group or corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code) which includes the Company and (ii) any trade or business (whether or not incorporated) which is under common control (as defined in Section 414(c) of the Code) with the Company.

(b)

If at the time of the Executive’s separation from service, the Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of any 409A Severance Compensation (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Executive) until the date that is six (6) months following your separation from service or, if earlier, the earliest other date as is permitted under Section 409A.
