Β If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Β A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.7(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

If any Lender shall have determined that the application of any Requirement of Law or any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such application or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's treatment of its Loans for internal purposes as of the date on which it became a party hereto) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such request), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, for such reduction with respect to the Loans, this Agreement or the Commitments generally.
(c)
The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender which requests compensation under this Section 2.9(c) (by notice to the Borrower), on the last day of each Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower, so long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves against "Eurocurrency liabilities" under Regulation D of the Board (or, so long as such Lender may be required by the Board or by any other Governmental Authority to maintain reserves against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes any Eurocurrency Loans), an additional amount (determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower) representing such Lender's calculation or, if an accurate calculation is impracticable, reasonable estimate (using such reasonable means of allocation as such Lender shall determine) of the actual costs, if any, incurred by such Lender during such Interest Period, as a result of the applicability of the foregoing reserves to such Eurocurrency Loans, which amount in any event shall not exceed the product of the following for each day of such Interest Period:
(i)
the principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender to which such Interest Period relates and outstanding on such day; and
(ii)
the difference between (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Eurocurrency Rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, and the denominator of which is one (1) minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed by the Board or other Governmental Authority on such date minus (y) such numerator; and
(iii)
a fraction the numerator of which is one (1) and the denominator of which is 360.
Any Lender which gives notice under this Section 2.9(c) shall promptly withdraw such notice (by written notice of withdrawal given to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) in the event such Lender is no longer required to maintain such reserves or the circumstances giving rise to such notice shall otherwise cease to exist.
(d)
A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.9 submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Β The agreements in this Section 2.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder (the date on which all of the foregoing shall have occurred, the "Final Date"), until the first anniversary of the Final Date. Β Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.9, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any greater amounts than such Lender(s) is (are) generally charging other borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower.
20
(e)
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.9 (i) shall not entitle any Recipient to compensation in respect of any Excluded Taxes, (ii) shall not apply to (A) Indemnified Taxes imposed on payments by or on account of any obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document or (B) Other Taxes, it being understood that such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.10, and (iii) shall not relieve any Lender of any obligation pursuant to Section 2.10.
SECTION 2.10
Taxes.
(a)
All payments made by any Loan Party under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. Β 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. Β 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. Β Each Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Β 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. Β The agreements in this Section 2.10(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(b)
Indemnification by each Loan Party. Without duplication of any payments made pursuant to Section 2.10(a), each Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are directly paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.10(b)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Β The indemnity under this Section 2.10(b) shall be paid within 10 days after the Recipient delivers to the applicable Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Β Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent.
(c)
Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Β 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 Β 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. Β The indemnity under this Section 2.10(c) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Β Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Β Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (c).
(d)
Status of Lenders.
(i)
Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. Β In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Β Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.1(d)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Β Upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.10(d). Β If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.
21
(ii)
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower or Loan Party (or, if the Borrower or Loan Party is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its sole owner) is a U.S. Person, any Lender (or if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its sole owner) with respect to such Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by such Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of Β whichever of the following is applicable:

(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 Β 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. Β Solely for purposes of this Section 2.10(d)(iii), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.11
Indemnity.
The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense (including post-judgment expenses) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making the borrowing of any Eurocurrency Loans, or in the conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting or accepting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Β 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.

Β 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. Β In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under any outstanding Notes and any other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing to the extent therein specified; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
42
Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence of a Permitted Third Party Purchase, (a) the written consent of Kimco shall be required with respect to any amendment, consent or (except as described in clause (b) below) waiver (i) as to the amount of debt outstanding hereunder, the amount of interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder or the scheduled date of any payment hereunder, (ii) relating to the amendment provisions of this Agreement or the assignment by the Borrower of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (iii) that releases any guarantees or any collateral in respect of any obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement, (iv) relating to the order of application of payments set forth in this Agreement, (v) relating to any provision of this Agreement that affects the ranking of the Loans hereunder, the clause (n) of Article X or any related terms, any provisions relating to mandatory or optional prepayments, any negative covenants of the Borrower or any Events of Default, or any matters addressed thereby, or any other material provision of this Agreement if the result of such amendment would adversely affect the interests of Kimco or (vi) relating to the Kimco Guarantee), and (b) no waiver of any then-existing Default or Event of Default shall be effective unless either (i) Kimco shall have consented in writing to such waiver or (ii) the requisite Lenders shall have approved such waiver in writing, the Administrative Agent shall have provided written notice to Kimco of such waiver and approval, and 15 days shall have elapsed from the date of delivery of such notice to Kimco without Kimco exercising its Loan Purchase Option and paying the full purchase price to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders) in respect of the Purchased Interests in accordance with Section 2.16; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the consent of Kimco shall not be required, nor shall the Administrative Agent be required to give any notice to Kimco, with respect to any amendment, consent or waiver to the extent pertaining to any liabilities, obligations or performances of duties of or owing by (x) the Administrative Agent to one or more of the Lenders, (y) one or more Lenders to the Administrative Agent and one or more other Lenders or (z) one or more of the Lenders to one or more other Lenders, or any claims in respect of any such liabilities, obligations or performances of duties.

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