Ladies and Gentlemen:
Kimco Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell its unsecured senior debt securities (the “Securities”), from time to time, in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of sale. The Securities will be issued under an indenture, dated as of September 1, 1993, as amended by the first

The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended (the “1939 Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the 1939 Act (the “1939 Act Regulations”). Each series of Securities may vary, as applicable, as to aggregate principal amount, maturity date, interest rate or formula and timing of payments thereof, redemption and/or repayment
provisions, conversion provisions, sinking fund requirements, if any, and any other variable terms which the Indenture contemplates may be set forth in the Securities as issued from time to time. As used herein, “you” and “your,” unless the context
otherwise requires, shall mean the parties to whom this Agreement is addressed together with the other parties, if any, identified in the applicable Terms Agreement (as hereinafter defined) as additional co‑managers with respect to Underwritten
Securities (as hereinafter defined) purchased pursuant thereto.
Whenever the Company determines to make an offering of Securities through you or through an underwriting syndicate managed by you, the Company will enter into an agreement (the “Terms
Agreement”) providing for the sale of such Securities (the “Underwritten Securities”) to, and the purchase and offering thereof by, you and such other underwriters, if any, selected by you as have
authorized you to enter into such Terms Agreement on their behalf (the “Underwriters,” which term shall include you whether acting alone in the sale of the Underwritten Securities or as a member of an
underwriting syndicate and any Underwriter substituted pursuant to Section 10 hereof). The Terms Agreement relating to the offering of Underwritten Securities shall specify the principal amount of Underwritten Securities to be initially issued, the
names of the Underwriters participating in such offering (subject to substitution as provided in Section 10 hereof), the principal amount of Underwritten Securities that each such Underwriter severally agrees to purchase, the names and roles of all
of the Underwriters in connection with such offering, the price at which the Underwritten Securities are to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Company, the initial public offering price, if any, of the Underwritten Securities, the Applicable
Time (as defined below), any and all Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectuses (as defined below), the time, date and place of delivery and payment, any delayed delivery arrangements and any other variable terms of the Underwritten Securities
(including, but not limited to, current ratings, designations, denominations, interest rates or formulas, interest payment dates, maturity dates, conversion provisions, redemption and/or repayment provisions and sinking fund requirements applicable
to the Underwritten Securities). The Terms Agreement, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, may take the form of an exchange of any standard form of written telecommunication between
you and the Company. Each offering of Underwritten Securities through you or through an underwriting syndicate managed by you will be governed by this Agreement, as supplemented by the applicable Terms Agreement.

The Company has filed with the Commission an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S‑3 (No. 333-258872), including the related base prospectus (the “base prospectus”),
for the registration of the Securities and certain other securities of the Company, which registration statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the rules and regulations of the Commission (the
“1933 Act Regulations”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Promptly after execution and delivery of the applicable Terms Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a
prospectus supplement relating to the Underwritten Securities in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) of the 1933 Act Regulations and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations. Any information included in such prospectus supplement that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of and included in
such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B is referred to as “Rule 430B Information.” Each base prospectus and prospectus supplement thereto, if any, used in connection with the offering of the
Underwritten Securities that omitted Rule 430B Information, together with the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S‑3 under the 1933 Act, is herein called a “preliminary prospectus.”
Such registration statement, at each time of effectiveness under the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations prior to the execution of the applicable Terms Agreement, including the amendments thereto to such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto
at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S‑3 under the 1933 Act at such time and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the 1933 Act Regulations, is herein called
the “Registration Statement;” provided, however, that the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include information contained in the final prospectus
supplement (the “final prospectus supplement”) relating to the Underwritten Securities that is retroactively deemed to be a part of such registration statement (as amended) as of the time specified in Rule
430B of the 1933 Act Regulations. The Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective is herein called the “Original Registration Statement.” The base prospectus and final prospectus
supplement, in the form first furnished or made available to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities, including the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S‑3 under the
1933 Act at the time of the execution of the applicable Terms Agreement and this Agreement, is herein called the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any
preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“XXXXX”).
All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, any
preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed
by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement,
any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), which is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, after the most recent effective date prior to
the execution of the applicable Terms Agreement, in the case of the Registration Statement, or the respective dates of the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in the case of the Prospectus and any preliminary prospectus.

Any offer that is a written communication relating to the Underwritten Securities made prior to the filing of the Original Registration Statement by the Company or any person acting on its behalf

principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought, and the execution, delivery and performance of any of such agreements
did not, at the time of execution and delivery, and does not constitute a breach of, or default under, the charter or bylaws of such party or any material contract, lease or other instrument to which such party is a party or by which its properties

made by the Company with a reasonable basis and in good faith and reflects the Company’s good faith estimate of the matters described therein and has been prepared in accordance with Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act; and the
assumptions used in the preparation of any such projections are reasonable, and the Company is not aware of any business, economic or industry developments materially inconsistent with the assumptions underlying any such projections.

Section 3. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants with you and with each Underwriter participating in the offering of Underwritten Securities, as follows:
(a) The Company, subject to Section 3(b), will comply with the requirements of Rule 430B and will notify you as soon as reasonably possible, (i) when any post‑effective
amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement relating to the Securities shall become effective, or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of
any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or the filing of a new registration statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus or

initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the 1933 Act concerning the Registration Statement and (v) if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of
the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities or if the Company receives from the Commission a notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations. The Company will effect the filings required under Rule
424(b), in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule
424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus. The Company will make reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain
the lifting thereof as soon as reasonably possible. The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Underwritten Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act Regulations without regard to the
proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the 1933 Act Regulations (including, if applicable, by updating the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in accordance with Rule 456(b)(1)(ii) either in a post‑effective
amendment to the Registration Statement or on the cover page of a prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)).
17
(b) The Company will give you notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement relating to the
Securities or any amendment or supplement to any preliminary prospectus (including the base prospectus included in the Original Registration Statement or amendment thereto at the time it became effective) or to the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the
1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, and the Company will furnish you with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which you or
counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object. If specified in the Terms Agreement, the Company will prepare a final term sheet (the “Final Term Sheet”) reflecting the final terms of the Underwritten
Securities, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters and attached as an exhibit to the applicable Terms Agreement, and shall file such Final Term Sheet as an “issuer free writing prospectus” pursuant to Rule 433, if required,
as soon as possible after the execution of such Terms Agreement.
(c) The Company has furnished or will deliver to you and counsel for the Underwriters, upon written request, signed copies of the Original Registration Statement as
originally filed and any new registration statement containing the Prospectus and, in each case, any amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference therein or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts, and will also deliver to you, upon written request, a conformed copy of the Original Registration Statement as originally filed
and any new registration statement containing the Prospectus and, in each case, any amendment thereto (without exhibits) for each of the Underwriters. The copies of the Original Registration Statement and any new registration statement and, in each
case, any amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S‑T.
18
(d) The Company will deliver to each Underwriter, upon written request, as many copies of each preliminary prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto as such
Underwriter reasonably requests, and the Company hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the 1933 Act. The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be
delivered (or but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations would be required to be delivered) under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of the Underwritten Securities, such number of copies of the
Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as such Underwriter may reasonably request. Each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically
transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S‑T.
(e) The Company will comply with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations and the 1939 Act and the 1939 Act Regulations so as
to permit the completion of the distribution of the Underwritten Securities as contemplated in this Agreement, the applicable Terms Agreement and the Prospectus. If at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered (or but for the exception
afforded by Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations would be required to be delivered) under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of the Underwritten Securities, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is
necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or counsel for the Company, to amend the Registration Statement in order that the Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or amend or supplement the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package in order that the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, as the case may be,
will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, or if
it shall be necessary, in the opinion of either such counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement, to file a new registration statement or to amend or supplement the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package in order to comply
with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations (including, with respect to the filing of a new registration statement, if at any time the Company is no longer eligible to use an automatic shelf registration statement), the Company
will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(b) and Section 3(k), such amendment, supplement or new registration statement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to comply with such requirements, the
Company will use its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement with respect to the Underwritten Securities) and the Company will
furnish to the Underwriters such number of copies of such amendment, supplement or new registration statement as the Underwriters may reasonably request. If, prior to the completion of the public offer and sale of the Underwritten Securities (which
completion you shall promptly communicate to the Company), at any time following the issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or
would conflict with the information then contained in the Registration Statement (or any other registration statement relating to the Underwritten Securities) or the Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly (i) notify you and (ii) either (1) amend
or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission or (2) file a report with the Commission under the 1934 Act that corrects such untrue statement or omission and notify you in
writing that such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall no longer be used.
19
(f) The Company will endeavor, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Underwritten Securities for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws and
real estate syndication laws of such states and other jurisdictions of the United States as you may reasonably designate. In each jurisdiction in which the Underwritten Securities have been so qualified, the Company will file such statements and
reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification in effect for so long as may be required for the distribution of the Underwritten Securities; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to submit generally to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not already so subject.
(g) The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable
an earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 of the 1933 Act Regulations) for the purposes of, and to provide to the Underwriters the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.
(h) The Company will use its best efforts to meet the requirements to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code for the taxable year in which sales of
the Underwritten Securities are to occur.
(i) The Company, during the period when a prospectus is required to be delivered (or but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations would be
required to be delivered) under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of the Underwritten Securities, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15 of the 1934 Act within the time
period prescribed by the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.
(j) The Company will not, between the date of the applicable Terms Agreement and the Closing Time with respect to the Underwritten Securities covered thereby, without your
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, offer or sell, grant any option for the sale of, or enter into any agreement to sell prior to the Closing Time, any debt securities of the Company of the same class or series or ranking
on parity with the Underwritten Securities with a maturity of more than one year (other than the Underwritten Securities which are to be sold pursuant to such Terms Agreement), except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Terms Agreement.
You may release us from the obligations of this Section 3(j) in your sole discretion at any time without notice.
20
(k) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains your prior consent, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains your prior consent and
the prior consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Underwritten Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise constitute a “free
writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission; provided, however, that the Underwriters are authorized to use any free writing prospectus that contains substantially
only information specified in the Final Term Sheet. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and you is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that
it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to each and every Permitted Free Writing Prospectus,
including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping.
(l) The date of any agreement by an Underwriter to act as principal or agent in connection with the Underwritten Securities is not more than three years subsequent to the
initial effective date of the Registration Statement. If, immediately prior to the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, any of such Underwritten Securities remain unsold by the applicable Underwriter(s) and
a prospectus is required to be delivered by such Underwriter(s) under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with the sale of such Underwritten Securities, the Company will prior to that third anniversary file, if it has not already done so, a
new shelf registration statement or, if applicable, an automatic shelf registration statement relating to such Underwritten Securities, and, if such registration statement is not an automatic shelf registration statement, will use its reasonable best
efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after that third anniversary, and will take all other reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of such Underwritten
Securities to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to such Underwritten Securities. References herein to the “Registration Statement” shall include such new shelf registration statement or automatic shelf
registration statement, as the case may be.
(m) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Underwritten Securities as set forth under “Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus.
21
Section 4. Payment of Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement, including (i) the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration
Statement as originally filed and any new registration statement containing the Prospectus and, in each case, any amendment thereto, (ii) the printing and filing of this Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement, (iii) the preparation, issuance
and delivery of the Underwritten Securities to the Underwriters, (iv) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel and accountants, of the Trustee and its counsel and of any applicable calculation agent or exchange rate agent, (v) the
qualification of the Underwritten Securities under the applicable securities laws and real estate syndication laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(f), including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of the Blue Sky Survey and any supplement thereto, (vi) the printing and delivery to the Underwriters of copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and any
new registration statement containing the Prospectus, each preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and any costs associated with electronic delivery of any of the
foregoing by the Underwriters to investors, (vii) any fees charged by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations for the rating of the Underwritten Securities, (viii) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred with respect to the listing
of the Underwritten Securities on any national securities exchange, (ix) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred with respect to any filing with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”),
(x) the cost of providing any CUSIP or other identification numbers for the Underwritten Securities and (xi) the fees and expenses of any depositary in connection with the Underwritten Securities.
If the applicable Terms Agreement is terminated by you in accordance with the provisions of Section 5, or Section 9(b)(i) or 9(b)(iii) (only with respect to the Company’s securities), the Company shall reimburse the
Underwriters named in such Terms Agreement for all of their out‑of‑pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters.
Section 5. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations. The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase Underwritten Securities pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement are subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties
of the Company herein contained, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company’s officers made in any certificate pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of all of its covenants and other obligations hereunder, and

Underwriters, (ii) each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus containing the Rule 430B Information shall have been filed with the Commission in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) (or a
post‑effective amendment providing such information shall have been filed and become effective in accordance with the requirements of Rule 430B), (iii) the Final Term Sheet and any other material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule
433(d) of the 1933 Act Regulations shall have been filed with the Commission within the applicable time periods prescribed for such filings under such Rule 433, (iv) the Company shall have paid the required Commission filing fees relating to the
Underwritten Securities within the time period required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act Regulations without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the 1933 Act Regulations and, if applicable,

assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization to any debt securities or preferred stock of the Company as of the date of the applicable Terms Agreement shall not have been lowered or withdrawn since such date nor shall any
such rating organization have publicly announced that it has any debt securities or preferred stock of the Company under surveillance or review and (vi) there shall not have come to your attention any facts that would cause you to believe that the
Prospectus, at the time it was required to be delivered or made available to purchasers of the Underwritten Securities, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances existing at such time, not misleading.
22
(b) At the Closing Time, you shall have received:
(1) The favorable opinion, dated as of the Closing Time, of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to
counsel for the Underwriters, to the effect that:
(i) Based solely on certificates from public officials, such counsel shall confirm that the Company is qualified to do business in specified states,
which states the Company shall have represented to such counsel are the jurisdictions in which it owns or leases real property, except where the failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
condition, financial or otherwise, or on the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.
(ii) The Underwritten Securities, when executed, issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered and paid for by
you in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, as supplemented by the Terms Agreement, will be the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
(iii) The Indenture is the legally valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
(iv) The Indenture has been qualified under the 1939 Act.
(v) The Registration Statement has become effective under the 1933 Act. Based solely on a review, on the date of such opinion, of the Commission’s

and the Prospectus, as of its date, each appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable form requirements for registration statements on Form S‑3 under the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, other
than Regulation S‑T, the Trustee’s Statement of Eligibility on Form T‑1 (the “Form T‑1”) or the financial statements, schedules, or other financial data, included therein, incorporated by reference therein, or
omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel need express no opinion, it being understood that in passing upon compliance as to form of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, such counsel may assume that the statements made therein are correct
and complete.
(vii) Each of the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, as of its
respective filing date, appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable requirements for reports on Forms 10‑K, 10‑Q and 8‑K, and definitive proxy statements under Regulation 14A, as the case may be,
under the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, other than Regulation S-T, the Form T‑1 or the financial statements, schedules, or other financial data, included therein, incorporated by reference therein, or omitted

(ix) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Underwritten Securities by the

24
(x) The Company is not, and immediately after giving effect to the sale of the Underwritten Securities in accordance with this Agreement and the

Section 6. Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors and officers of each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers, and each
person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:
(1) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus
(or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(2) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of
any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission referred to in subsection (l) above, or any such alleged untrue
statement or omission, if any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company;
(3) against any and all expense whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by you), as incurred, which was reasonably incurred
in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (1) or (2) above;
31
provided, however, that
this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, or any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus
or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or made in reliance upon the Trustee’s Statement of Eligibility filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
(b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this
Section, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, or any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.
(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which
indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. An indemnifying party may
participate at its own expense in the defense of such action. If it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the defense of
such action with counsel chosen by it and approved by the indemnified parties defendant in such action, unless such indemnified parties reasonably object to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses available to them which are
different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such action, the indemnifying parties shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified parties
incurred thereunder in connection with such action. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in
connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which
indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional
release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
indemnified party.
32
Section 7. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 6 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although
applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the offering of the Underwritten Securities shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by
said indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and one or more of the Underwriters in respect of such offering, as incurred, in such proportions that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the
underwriting discount appearing on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement in respect of such offering bears to the initial public offering price appearing thereon and the Company is responsible for the balance; provided, however,
that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the provisions
of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Underwritten Securities purchased by it pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement and distributed to the
public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses. The Underwriters’ obligation to contribute pursuant
to this Section 7 shall be several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint. For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the
number of the Underwritten Securities set forth opposite their respective names in the applicable Terms Agreement and not joint.
Section 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company
submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement, or investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person,
or by or on behalf of the Company and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Securities.
Section 9. Termination of Agreement.
(a) This Agreement (excluding the applicable Terms Agreement) may be terminated for any reason at any time by the Company or by you upon the giving of 30 days’ written
notice of such termination to the other party hereto.
33
(b) You may also terminate the applicable Terms Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time if (i) there has been, since the date of
such Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the
earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial
markets in the United States or in the international financial markets or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis, in the case of clause (i) or (ii) the effect of which is such as to make it, in
your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Underwritten Securities or enforce contracts for the sale of the Underwritten Securities, or (iii) trading in any of the securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by
the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq Global Select Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum
ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or if a general banking moratorium has been declared by Federal, New York or Maryland
authorities, or (iv) there has occurred a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services, or (v) the rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization to any debt securities or
preferred stock of the Company as of the date of the applicable Terms Agreement shall have been lowered or withdrawn since such date or if any such rating organization shall have publicly announced that it has any debt securities or preferred stock
of the Company under surveillance or review.
(c) In the event of any such termination, (x) the covenants set forth in Section 3 with respect to any offering of Underwritten Securities shall remain in effect so long
as any Underwriter owns any such Underwritten Securities purchased from the Company pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement and (y) the covenant set forth in Section 3(g) hereof, the provisions of Section 4 hereof, the indemnity and contribution
agreements set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, and the provisions of Sections 8 and 15 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.
Section 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the Underwritten Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under the applicable Terms
Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), then you shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non‑defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to
purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, you shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24‑hour period, then:
(a) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Securities to be purchased pursuant to
such Terms Agreement, the non‑defaulting Underwriters named in such Terms Agreement shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to
the underwriting obligations of all non‑defaulting Underwriters, or
34
(b) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Securities to be purchased pursuant to such
Terms Agreement, the applicable Terms Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non‑defaulting Underwriter.
No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default under this Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement.
In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of the applicable Terms Agreement, either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days
in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10.

Section 13. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Underwritten Securities pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement and this Agreement, including the
determination of the price for the Underwritten Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s‑length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand; (ii) in
connection with each transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement and the process leading to such transaction, each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Company or any
of its affiliates; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed any advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement
or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or any of its affiliates on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company or any of its affiliates with
respect to any offering of Underwritten Securities except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement; (iv) each Underwriter and its affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that
involve interests that differ from those of the Company; (v) no Underwriter has provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement, and the
Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate; (vi) any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be
performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company; and (vii) none of the activities of the Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment
advice or solicitation of any action by the Underwriters with respect to any entity or natural person.
This Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement supersede all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Underwriter or several Underwriters, or any of them, with respect
to the subject matter hereof and thereof. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Underwriter or several Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged
breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
