State of Georgia, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement.

 

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement as
applied to any party or to any circumstance should be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable
for any reason, the invalidity of that provision will in no way affect (to the maximum extent permissible by law) the application
of such provision under circumstances different from those adjudicated by the court, the application of any other provision of
this Agreement or the enforceability or invalidity of this Agreement as a whole. Should any provision of this Agreement become
or be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by reason of the scope, extent or duration of its coverage,

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, 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, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) there shall be no more than five (5) Eurocurrency Tranches outstanding at any one time.

 

(f)           Termination of Commitments.  The Commitments shall automatically and permanently terminate upon the earlier of (i) the making of the Loans on the Effective Date and (ii) April 30, 2012.

 

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 irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans, or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each.  Upon receipt of any notice of prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly 

 

  

22

  

 

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).

 

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 affected Lender thereof.  All or any part of the outstanding Eurocurrency Loans and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion that such a conversion is not appropriate, (ii) any such conversion may only be made if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.2(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 Termination 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 Termination Date, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.  Upon receipt of any notice pursuant to this Section 2.4(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.

 

SECTION 2.5                           Fees.

 

Kimco shall pay to the Administrative Agent or the Arranger, as applicable, each for its own account, and, to the extent mutually agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, 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 Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

 

  

23

  

 

(b)           Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

 

(c)           [Reserved].

 

(d)           [Reserved].

 

(e)           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(b) plus 2%, in each case from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

 

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

 

SECTION 2.7                           Computation of Interest.

 

(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                           Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

 

If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

 

(a)           the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period; or

 

(b)           the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) (as conclusively certified by such Lenders or Lender, as the case may be) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period;

 

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given, (i) any Eurocurrency Loans requested to be 

 

  

24

  

 

made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (ii) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans, and (iii) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert any other Loans to Eurocurrency Loans.

 

SECTION 2.9                           Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

 

(a)           The borrowing by the Borrower of Loans using the Commitments 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 the Loans then held by the Lenders in the currency in which such Loan was made.  If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.  All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Section 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 Effective Date, 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 the Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower.

 

  

25

  

 

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 specifically subject to Section 2.11(c)), special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any relevant office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate;

 

(ii)           shall impose on such Lender any other condition; or

 

(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, or impose any expense (including loss of margin) upon, 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, 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 on loans or letters of credit (as the case may be) similarly situated to the Borrower.

 

(b)           If any Lender shall have determined that the application of any Requirement of Law or any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such application or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s treatment of its Commitments for internal purposes as of the date on which it 

 

  

26

  

 

became a party hereto) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such request), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, for such reduction with respect to the Loans, this Agreement or the Commitments generally.

 

(c)           The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender which requests compensation under this Section 2.11(c) (by notice to the Borrower), on the last day of each Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower, so long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D of the Board (or, so long as such Lender may be required by the Board or by any other Governmental Authority to maintain reserves against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes any Eurocurrency Loans), an additional amount (determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower) representing such Lender’s calculation or, if an accurate calculation is impracticable, reasonable estimate (using such reasonable means of allocation as such Lender shall determine) of the actual costs, if any, incurred by such Lender during such Interest Period, as a result of the applicability of the foregoing reserves to such Eurocurrency Loans, which amount in any event shall not exceed the product of the following for each day of such Interest Period:

 

(i)           the principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender to which such Interest Period relates and outstanding on such day; and

 

(ii)           the difference between (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Eurocurrency Rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, and the denominator of which is one (1) minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed by the Board or other Governmental Authority on such date minus (y) such numerator; and

 

(iii)           a fraction the numerator of which is one (1) and the denominator of which is 360.

 

Any Lender which gives notice under this Section 2.11(c) shall promptly withdraw such notice (by written notice of withdrawal given to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) in the event such Lender is no longer required to maintain such reserves or the circumstances giving rise to such notice shall otherwise cease to exist.

 

(d)           A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.11 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 on loans similarly situated 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 

 

  

27

  

 

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.  The agreements in this Section 2.12(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

(b)           Indemnification by each Loan Party. Without duplication of any payments made pursuant to Section 2.12(a), each Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are directly paid or payable by such Recipient 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 

 

  

28

  

 

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 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 establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of  such tax treaty;

 

(C)           IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

(D)           (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a  certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (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

 

  

29

  

 

(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.

 

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.

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 enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

(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.

 

(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 knowledge of Kimco, threatened by or against Kimco or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) which could 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.  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.

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 assets 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 liabilities under all such Plans allocable to such benefits.

 

SECTION 4.14                           Investment Company Act; Other Regulations.

 

The Borrower is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The Borrower is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

 

SECTION 4.15                           [Reserved].

 

SECTION 4.16                           Purpose.

(d)           Enter into any Swap Agreement, except Swap Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business (not for purposes of speculation) to hedge or mitigate risks, including those related to interest rates or currency exchange rates, to which Kimco or such Subsidiary is exposed in the conduct of its business or the management of its liabilities.

(h)           One or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against Kimco or any Entity involving in the aggregate a liability (not paid or fully covered by insurance) of $50,000,000 or more (excluding Non-Recourse Indebtedness) (calculated, in the case of a judgment or decree against an Unconsolidated Entity, by multiplying the amount of such judgment or decree by the percentage of Kimco’s direct or indirect equity interest in such Unconsolidated Entity), and all such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60 days from the entry thereof; or

 

  

46

(l)           a Change in Control shall occur;

 

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in paragraph (f) above, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the Notes shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to Kimco, declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to Kimco, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the Notes to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable.

(b)           The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and each Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with such bank (an “Administrative Agent Affiliate”) may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

 

(c)           The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein), and (iii) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Kimco or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Administrative Agent Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.

(e)           The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

 

(f)           Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and Kimco.  If a Bankruptcy Event shall occur with respect to the Administrative Agent, then effective on the date that is thirty (30) Business Days after the date of such Bankruptcy Event, the Administrative Agent automatically and without any further action by any Person, shall be removed as Administrative Agent, and at the end of such thirty (30) Business Day period the Administrative Agent shall be deemed discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document.  By the Required Lenders’ giving at least thirty (30) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and Kimco, the Administrative Agent may be removed, by action of the Required Lenders (excluding the bank serving as Administrative Agent (the “Agent Bank”)), (i) at any time for gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the Required Lenders (excluding for such determination the Agent Bank), or (ii) in the event that the Agent Bank, in its capacity as a Lender, shall have assigned all of its outstanding Commitments and Loans to another bank, financial institution or other entity pursuant to Section 10.6, and at the end of such thirty (30) Business Day period the Agent Bank shall be deemed discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Documents.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Kimco, to appoint a successor. In the case of resignation by the Administrative Agent, if no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or a Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with any such bank.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor to a retired Administrative Agent, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article, including Section 9.2, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

(g)           Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

SECTION 9.2                           Indemnification.

 

Subject to the immediately following sentence, the Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.2 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Applicable Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans and regardless of whether pre-judgment or post-judgment) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  The agreements in this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

 

SECTION 9.3                           No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

 

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby:  (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any recordkeeping, (c) comparisons with government lists, (d) customer notices or (e) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

SECTION 9.4                           Beneficiaries.

 

Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and except as otherwise set forth herein, the Loan Parties shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof.

 

SECTION 9.5                           Calculations.

 

In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error in computing the amount payable to any Lender whether in respect of the Loans, fees or any other amounts due to the Lenders under this Agreement.  In the event an error in computing any amount payable to any Lender is made, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each affected Lender shall, forthwith upon discovery of such error, make such adjustments as shall be required to correct such error.

 

SECTION 9.6                           Consents and Approvals.

 

All communications from the Administrative Agent to the Lenders requesting the Lenders’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or time as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Lender where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and an overview of any other information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.  Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the request from the Administrative Agent (the “Lender Reply Period”); it being understood that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to request responses pursuant to clause (b) of the first sentence of this Section 9.6 or otherwise more quickly than within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of the request from the Administrative Agent.  Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination; provided that this sentence shall not apply to, and no Lender shall, as a result of the operation of this sentence, be deemed to have approved or consented to, any amendment, supplement or modification hereto or to any other Loan Document that requires the consent or approval of all of the Lenders or of each Lender affected thereby under Section 10.1.  With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall submit its recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such recommendation or determination to all Lenders and upon receiving the required approval or consent shall follow the course of action or determination of the Required Lenders (and each nonresponding Lender shall be deemed to have concurred with such recommended course of action) or all the Lenders, as the case may be.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

SECTION 10.1                           Amendments and Waivers.

 

Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1.  The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders (or otherwise to the extent provided in Section 9.6), 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, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase or reduce (except for reductions in accordance with Section 2.2(f)) the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.1, change Section 2.9(a) or Section 10.11(a) 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.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Lender hereunder is also a “Lender” as defined in and pursuant to the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement and approves any amendment or modification to the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement or any other “Loan Document” as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement, then, to the extent such amendment or modification relates to terms also contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as 

 

  

52

  

 

applicable, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved such amendment or modification to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as applicable; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any amendment or modification to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent or approval of all of the Lenders or of each Lender affected thereby under this Section 10.1.

The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall 

 

  

54

  

 

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 all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the 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 Commitment or 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 Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption (as defined below) with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless 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 Commitment under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

 

 

  

55

  

 

(C)           the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit A or in any other form approved by the Administrative Agent (an “Assignment and Assumption”), together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,000 (which, except as provided in Section 2.15, 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 Defaulting Lender or any individual.

 

For the purposes of this Section 10.6, the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

 

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

 

(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 an 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.

 

  

56

  

 

(c)           Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than any Defaulting Lender or  any individual) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its Commitment under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and 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 an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under 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 any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

(d)           Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

  

57

  

 

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                           [Reserved].

 

SECTION 10.9                           Extension of Maturity Date.

 

By written notice to the Administrative Agent not earlier than 180 days nor later than 90 days before the Maturity Date specified in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Maturity Date” (the “Original Maturity Date”), Kimco may extend the Maturity Date to the date one year after the Original Maturity Date (the “Initial Extended Maturity Date”) subject to satisfaction of each of the Extension Conditions. In addition, Kimco, at its option, (x) may elect to extend the Initial Extended Maturity Date by one additional year (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent not earlier than 180 days nor later than 90 days before the Initial Extended Maturity Date subject to satisfaction of each of the Extension Conditions; and (y) may elect to extend the Second Extended Maturity Date by one additional year (the “Third Extended Maturity Date”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent not earlier than 180 days nor later than 90 days before the Second Extended Maturity Date subject to satisfaction of each of the Extension Conditions.

 

Each written notice requesting an extension under this Section 10.9 shall constitute a representation and warranty by Kimco as of the date such notice is given and 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.

 

  

58

  

 

(b)           A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from any Subsidiary Guarantee upon written request by Kimco; provided that (i) there is no Event of Default after giving effect to such release (including any changes resulting from any Property’s ceasing to be an Unencumbered Property if such released guarantor immediately prior to giving effect to such release was an Obligated Property Owner in respect thereof), (ii) Kimco is in compliance with each of the financial covenants 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 such date, but after giving effect to such release (including any changes resulting from any Property’s ceasing to be an Unencumbered Property if such released guarantor was an Obligated Property Owner in respect thereof immediately prior to giving effect to such release and provided that for the purposes of determining such compliance, Gross Asset Value shall be determined for the most recent Test Period as to which a compliance certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(b)), and (iii) Kimco has furnished to the Administrative Agent a certificate of its chief financial officer or other authorized financial officer as to the matters referred to in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii).

 

SECTION 10.11                           Adjustments; Set-off.

 

(a)           If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Article VIII(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided that (i) if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply, except, for the avoidance of doubt, for payments made pursuant to Section 2.15 hereof).

 

(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 any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount, 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.

 

SECTION 10.12                           Counterparts.

 

This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement 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 copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with Kimco and the Administrative Agent.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement 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 Agreement.

 

  

59

  

 

SECTION 10.13                           Severability.

 

Any provision of this Agreement 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.

 

SECTION 10.14                           Integration.

 

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof or thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

 

SECTION 10.15                           GOVERNING LAW.

 

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

SECTION 10.16                           Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.

 

Kimco hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(a)           submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement 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, to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

 

(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

 

  

60

  

 

(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 in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

 

SECTION 10.17                           Acknowledgments.

 

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

 

(a)           it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

 

(b)           neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower and each other Loan Party, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

 

(c)           no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders and the Administrative Agent or among the Borrower, any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

 

SECTION 10.18                           WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL.

 

EACH LOAN PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

 

SECTION 10.19                           Confidentiality.

 

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 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 the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar 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 or to which the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) 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 any Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of any Loan Party 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 any Loan Party.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to a Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis; provided that in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, “Information” shall not include, and each party hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the U.S. federal income tax treatment and U.S. federal income tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

SECTION 10.20                           Judgment Currency.

 

(a)           The obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents of the Borrower to make payments in Dollars (the “Obligation Currency”), shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or a Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Borrower in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the Dollar Equivalent of such amount, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

 

(b)           If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower obligated in respect thereof covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

 

(c)           For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent under this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

 

SECTION 10.21                           USA Patriot Act.

 

Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

[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 PNC 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 Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”), dated as of April 17, 2012 (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.

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have severally agreed to make 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 foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, 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 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 

 

  

C-1

  

 

made, delivered or given in connection therewith, whether on account of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise and whether pre-judgment or post-judgment (including 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.

 

(e)    The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.

 

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 pre-judgment or post-judgment and including 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 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 

 

  

C-2

  

 

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 and 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 set-off 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 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 

 

  

C-3

  

 

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 

 

  

C-4

  

 

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 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 One PNC Plaza, 249 Fifth Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222-2707 or to such other office as the Administrative Agent may hereafter specify by notice to such Subsidiary Guarantor.

(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 

 

  

C-5

  

 

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 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.
