The Company determined that its valuation of its mortgages and construction loan were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the future economic uncertainties, out of an abundance of caution, the Company’s Board of Directors has temporarily suspended the dividend on its common shares. The Company’s Board of Directors will continue to monitor the Company’s financial performance and economic outlook, as well as the Company’s compliance with REIT taxable income distribution requirements. The effect of the assumed conversion of certain convertible units had an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of Net income available to the Company’s common shareholders per share. Accordingly, the impact of such conversions has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share calculations. Additionally, there were 1.2 million and 1.3 million stock options that were not dilutive as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 2.5 million shares of restricted stock that were not dilutive

KIMCO REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                        

 

1. Business and Organization

 

Kimco Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, is one of North America’s largest publicly traded owners and operators of open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and mixed-use assets.  The terms “Kimco,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” each refers to Kimco Realty Corporation and our subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The Company, its affiliates and related real estate joint ventures are engaged principally in the ownership, management, development and operation of open-air shopping centers, which are anchored generally by grocery stores, off-price retailers, home improvement centers, discounters and/or service-oriented tenants. Additionally, the Company provides complementary services that capitalize on the Company’s established retail real estate expertise.

 

The Company elected status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning in its taxable year ended December 31, 1991 and operates in a manner that enables the Company to maintain its status as a REIT.  As a REIT, with respect to each taxable year, the Company must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable income (excluding capital gain) and does not pay federal income taxes on the amount distributed to its shareholders.  The Company is not generally subject to federal income taxes if it distributes 100 percent of its taxable income.  Most states where the Company holds investments in real estate, conform to the federal rules recognizing REITs.  Certain subsidiaries have made a joint election with the Company to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), which permit the Company to engage in certain business activities which the REIT may not conduct directly.  A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on its income, and the Company includes, when applicable, a provision for taxes in its condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company is subject to and also includes in its tax provision non-U.S. income taxes on certain investments located in jurisdictions outside the U.S. These investments are held by the Company at the REIT level and not in the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company does not expect a U.S. income tax impact associated with the repatriation of undistributed earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic -

 

In March 2020, coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization ("WHO"). Shortly thereafter, the President of the United States declared a national emergency throughout the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected businesses, economies, and financial markets worldwide, and has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international debt and equity markets. The impact of COVID-19 on the retail industry for both landlords and tenants has been wide ranging, including, but not limited to, the temporary closures of many businesses, "shelter in place" orders, social distancing guidelines and other governmental, business and individual actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. There has also been reduced consumer spending due to job losses, government restrictions in response to COVID-19 and other effects attributable to COVID-19. 

 

The COVID-19 pandemic, while still unfolding, has significantly impacted the Company’s stakeholders. The Company is aware of the critical role its shopping centers play in the communities they serve, often providing access to essential goods and services such as groceries, drug stores, and medical care. The Company’s shopping centers generally remain open to continue to provide access to these essential goods and services, and the Company has taken steps to protect the shoppers and tenants at its sites, following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") and the WHO.

 

In March 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, a substantial tax and spending package intended to provide additional economic stimulus to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic closely, as well as any effects that may result from the CARES Act on the Company's tenants which would then indirectly affect the Company.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant economic uncertainty and volatility. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, in the near term, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The Company’s business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company is not able to predict at this time, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, governmental, business and individual actions that have been and continue to be, taken in response to the pandemic, the impact on economic activity from the pandemic and actions taken in response, the effect on the Company’s tenants and their businesses, the ability of tenants to make their rental payments, additional closures of tenants’ businesses and the impact of opening and reclosing of communities in response to the resurgence of COVID-19. Any of these events could materially adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or stock price. The Company will continue to monitor the economic, financial, and social conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and will assess its asset portfolio for any impairment indicators. In addition, The Company will continue to monitor for any material or adverse effects resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The health and safety of the Company’s employees and their families is a top priority. The Company has taken the necessary steps to protect its employees and to empower them to work from home and care for their family members and children, whose lives have also been impacted.

 

 

Beginning March 11, 2020, the Company transitioned nearly 100% of its workforce to work from home, ensuring they are safely situated during this critical social distancing period.

 

All business travel has been stopped until further notice.

 

The Company has benefited from recent investments in new technology and software over the last year, as its entire team is equipped with new laptops and cellular capability to enable them to work remotely.

 

Daily webinar training was provided to ensure associates are fully supported to work from home. The Company’s human resources and information technology teams are available to all employees to address any needs or concerns they may have.

 

Associates will be provided paid time off to care for themselves or family members diagnosed with COVID-19.

 

The Company has ramped up communications at all levels and has initiated Company-wide virtual meetings such that executives are accessible, able to keep associates informed, and able to answer questions.

 

The Company will continue to evaluate individual situations as they arise and adjust its approach as appropriate, with the goal to enable its employees to be as productive as possible while offering them the flexibility they need to care for themselves and their families.

 

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s shopping centers have remained open; however, a substantial number of tenants had or continue to have temporarily closed their businesses. Others had, or continue to have, shortened their operating hours or offered reduced services. The Company has also observed a substantial increase in the number of tenants that have made late or partial rent payments, requested a deferral of rent payments or defaulted on rent payments. The Company considered the effects COVID-19 has had on its tenants when evaluating the adequacy of the collectability of the lessee’s total accounts receivable balance, including the corresponding straight-line rent receivable. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $50.5 million adjustment associated with potentially uncollectible revenues and disputed amounts, which includes $11.5 million for straight-line rent receivables, primarily attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Management’s estimate of the collectability of accrued rents and accounts receivable is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation.

 

As a result of the current economic uncertainty and the impact to many of the Company's tenants, the Company has taken important steps to offer its support, including:

 

(1)

The Company has, and continues to have, worked with these tenants to grant rent deferrals on a tenant-by-tenant basis. The deferrals are anticipated to be paid within six to 18 months.

 

(2)

During April 2020, the Company began piloting a Tenant Assistance Program to assist small business tenants in identifying and applying for federal and state aid to help support their businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is working in partnership with law firms to provide assistance with the application process at the Company’s expense. Legal professionals will assist tenants in identifying suitable loan programs, identifying potential lending institutions, and preparing and submitting applications.

 

(3)

The Company is closely monitoring recommendations and mandates of federal, state and local governments, and health authorities.

 

(4)

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S., the Company immediately increased the frequency and intensity of its janitorial services to help prevent the spread of the virus. Areas such as public bathrooms, interior concourses and hallways, vestibules and shared doors, and elevators and escalators are being sanitized multiple times per day.

 

(5)

The Company’s teams worked to provide additional assistance in the communities where it operates, finding creative ways to use its conveniently located shopping centers during this difficult time. The Company fast-tracked the approval of drive-thru testing centers, blood-drive locations, and school lunch pick-ups.

 

(6)

The Company launched the Kimco Curbside Pickup™ program designating dedicated parking spots for curbside pickup at its centers for use by all tenants and their customers.

 

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation -

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company. The Company’s subsidiaries include subsidiaries which are wholly-owned or which the Company has a controlling interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with the Consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “10-K”), as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, that would duplicate those included in the 10-K are not included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

9

 

Reclassifications - 

 

Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period’s presentation.  For comparative purposes, the Company reclassified (i) $9.4 million of Marketable securities from Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2019 and (ii) $0.1 million and $1.6 million of Gain on marketable securities, net from Other income, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

 

Subsequent Events -

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in its condensed consolidated financial statements (See Footnotes 3, 8 and 16 to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

New Accounting Pronouncements –

 

In April 2020, the FASB staff developed a question-and-answer document, Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, which focuses on the application of the lease guidance in Topic 842, Leases, and Topic 840, Leases (if Topic 842 has not yet been adopted) for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FASB staff has been made aware that, given the unprecedented and global nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it may be exceedingly challenging for entities to determine whether existing contracts provide enforceable rights and obligations for lease concessions and, if so, whether those concessions are consistent with the terms of the contract or are modifications to a contract. As such, an entity can elect not to evaluate whether certain relief provided by a lessor in response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a lease modification. An entity that makes this election can then elect to apply the modification guidance to that relief or account for the concession as if it were contemplated as part of the existing contract. This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. For example, this election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract.

 

Some concessions will provide a deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original contract. A deferral affects the timing of cash receipts, but the amount of the consideration is substantially the same as that required by the original contract. The FASB staff expects that there will be multiple ways to account for those deferrals, none of which the FASB staff believes are preferable to the others. Two of those methods are:

 

(i)

Account for the concessions as if no changes to the lease contract were made. Under that accounting, a lessor would increase its lease receivable, and a lessee would increase its accounts payable as receivables/payments accrue. In its income statement, a lessor would continue to recognize income, and a lessee would continue to recognize expense during the deferral period.

 

(ii)

Account for the deferred payments as variable lease payments.

 

The Company has elected to apply the modification relief as mentioned in (i) above to the lease concessions it has entered into during the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic as a lessor related to rental income recognized.

 

       The following table represents ASUs to the FASB’s ASC that, as of June 30, 2020, are not yet effective for the Company and for which the Company has not elected early adoption, where permitted:

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which includes amendments to (i) clarify receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of the new leasing standard (Topic 842) discussed below and (ii) align the implementation date for nonpublic entities’ annual financial statements with the implementation date for their interim financial statements. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date.

 

In  May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which amends ASU 2016-13 to allow companies to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (i) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (ii) are within the scope of ASC 326-203 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10.4. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. These amendments should be applied on a modified-retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings balance in the statement of financial position as of the date that an entity adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13. Certain disclosures are required. The effective date will be the same as the effective date in ASU 2016-13. 

 

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, which clarifies treatment of certain credit losses and disclosure requirements.

 

January 1, 2020; Early adoption permitted

The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective method.

 

While the Company’s mortgages and other financing receivables are impacted by this ASU, the adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impairments -

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $3.1 million and $21.6 million, respectively, related to adjustments to property carrying values for properties which the Company has sold or marketed for sale as part of its active capital recycling program and as such has adjusted the anticipated hold period for such properties. The Company’s estimated fair values of these properties were primarily based upon estimated sales prices from signed contracts or letters of intent from third party offers. See Footnote 11 to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for fair value disclosure.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the retail sector in which the Company operates and if the effects of the pandemic are prolonged, it could have a significant adverse impact to the underlying industries of many of the Company’s tenants. Management cannot, at this point, estimate ultimate losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company will continue to monitor the economic, financial, and social conditions resulting from this pandemic and will assess its asset portfolio for any impairment indicators. If the Company has determined that any of its assets are impaired the Company would be required to take impairment charges, and such amounts could be material.

7. Leases

 

Lessor Leases

 

The Company’s primary source of revenues are derived from lease agreements, which includes rental income and expense reimbursement. The Company’s lease income is comprised of minimum base rent, expense reimbursements, percentage rent, lease termination fee income, ancillary income, amortization of above-market and below-market rent adjustments and straight-line rent adjustments.

 

The disaggregation of the Company’s lease income, which is included in Revenue from rental properties on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, as either fixed or variable lease income based on the criteria specified in ASC 842, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, is as follows (in thousands):

Lessee Leases

 

The Company currently leases real estate space under noncancelable operating lease agreements for ground leases and administrative office leases. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to 51.7 years, some of which include options to extend the terms for up to an additional 75 years. The Company does not include any of its renewal options in its lease terms for calculating its lease liability as the renewal options allow the Company to maintain operational flexibility, and the Company is not reasonably certain it will exercise these renewal options at this time. The weighted average remaining non-cancelable lease term for the Company’s operating leases was 20.9 years at June 30, 2020. The weighted average discount rate was 6.65% at June 30, 2020. The Company’s operating lease liabilities are determined based on the estimated present value of the Company’s minimum lease payments under its lease agreements. The discount rate used to determine the lease liabilities is based on the estimated incremental borrowing rate on a lease by lease basis. When calculating the incremental borrowing rates, the Company utilized data from (i) its recent debt issuances, (ii) publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics, (iii) observable mortgage rates and (iv) unlevered property yields and discount rates. The Company then applied adjustments to account for considerations related to term and security that may not be fully incorporated by the data sets.

 

The components of the Company’s lease expense, which are included in rent expense and general and administrative expense on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, were as follows (in thousands):

8. Notes, Mortgages and Construction Loan Payable

 

Notes Payable

 

In February 2020, the Company obtained a new $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of banks, which replaced the Company’s existing $2.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. The Credit Facility is scheduled to expire in March 2024, with two additional six-month options to extend the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion, to March 2025. The Credit Facility, which accrues interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 77.5 basis points (1.18% as of June 30, 2020), can be increased to $2.75 billion through an accordion feature. The Credit Facility is a green credit facility tied to climate actions, as described in the agreement. Upon achieving such climate actions, the rate on the Credit Facility is reduced by 1 basis point. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) maximum indebtedness ratios and (ii) minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios. As of June 30, 2020, the Credit Facility had no outstanding balance and $0.3 million appropriated for letters of credit and the Company was in compliance with its covenants.

 

In April 2020, the Company entered into a new unsecured term loan credit facility with total outstanding borrowings of $590.0 million (the “Term Loan”) pursuant to a credit agreement with a group of banks. The Term Loan was scheduled to mature in April 2021, with a one-year extension option to extend the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion, to April 2022. The Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 140 basis points (1.65% as of June 30, 2020) or, at the Company’s option, a spread of 40 basis points to the base rate defined in the Term Loan, that in each case fluctuated in accordance with changes in the Company’s senior debt ratings. The Term Loan could be increased by an additional $750.0 million through an accordion feature. Pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan, the Company was subject to covenants that were substantially the same as those in the Credit Facility. The Company repaid $265.0 million of the outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan in June 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Term Loan had an outstanding balance of $325.0 million and the Company was in compliance with its covenants. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, the Term Loan was fully repaid and the facility was terminated.

 

In July 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million in unsecured notes (the “Green Bond”), which are scheduled to mature in October 2030 and accrue interest at a rate of 2.70% per annum. The net proceeds from this offering are allocated to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, recently completed, existing or future Eligible Green Projects, in alignment with the four core components of the Green Bond Principles, 2018 ("GBP") as administered by the International Capital Market Association. Eligible Green Projects include projects with disbursements made in the three years preceding the issue date of the notes.

 

On July 15, 2020, the Company announced the partial redemption of $200.0 million of its 3.20% senior unsecured notes outstanding, which mature in May 2021. These notes will be redeemed on July 30, 2020, and the Company will incur a prepayment charge of approximately $3.3 million resulting from the partial repayment. As of June 30, 2020, $484.9 million was outstanding on these notes.

 

Mortgages and Construction Loan Payable -

 

In August 2018, the Company closed on a construction loan commitment of $67.0 million relating to one development property. This loan commitment was scheduled to mature in August 2020, with six additional six-month options to extend the maturity date to August 2023 and bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 180 basis points. This construction loan was fully repaid in January 2020.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repaid $21.6 million of mortgage debt (including fair market value adjustment of $0.2 million) that encumbered two operating properties.

 

 

9. Noncontrolling Interests

 

      Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that the Company does not own in entities it consolidates as a result of having a controlling interest or determining that the Company was the primary beneficiary of a VIE in accordance with the provisions of the FASB’s Consolidation guidance.  The Company accounts and reports for noncontrolling interests in accordance with the Consolidation guidance and the Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance issued by the FASB. The Company identifies its noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company acquired its partners’ interests in two consolidated entities, in separate transactions, for an aggregate purchase price of $20.6 million. This transaction resulted in a net decrease in Noncontrolling interests of $1.3 million and a corresponding net increase in Paid-in capital of $19.3 million on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There are no remaining partners in one of these consolidated entities.

 

Included within noncontrolling interests are units that were determined to be contingently redeemable that are classified as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and presented in the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholder’s equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

10. Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)

 

Included within the Company’s consolidated operating properties at both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are 22 consolidated entities that are VIEs, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. These entities have been established to own and operate real estate property. The Company’s involvement with these entities is through its majority ownership and management of the properties. The entities were deemed VIEs primarily because the unrelated investors do not have substantive kick-out rights to remove the general or managing partner by a vote of a simple majority or less, and they do not have substantive participating rights. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as a result of its controlling financial interest. At June 30, 2020, total assets of these VIEs were $1.0 billion and total liabilities were $64.8 million. At December 31, 2019, total assets of these VIEs were $0.9 billion and total liabilities were $70.9 million.

 

The majority of the operations of these VIEs are funded with cash flows generated from the properties. The Company has not provided financial support to any of these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide, which consists primarily of funding any capital expenditures, including tenant improvements, which are deemed necessary to continue to operate the entity and any operating cash shortfalls that the entity may experience.

 

Additionally, included within the Company’s real estate development projects at December 31, 2019, is one consolidated entity that was a VIE, for which the Company was the primary beneficiary. This entity had been established to develop a real estate property to hold as a long-term investment. The Company’s involvement with this entity is through its majority ownership and management of the property. This entity was deemed a VIE primarily because the equity investments at risk were not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of this VIE as a result of its controlling financial interest. At December 31, 2019, total assets of this real estate development VIE were $346.9 million and total liabilities were $82.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 the Company purchased the partner’s noncontrolling interest and maintains full ownership of the entity. As a result, the entity is no longer a VIE.

 

All liabilities of these consolidated VIEs are non-recourse to the Company (“VIE Liabilities”). The assets of the unencumbered VIEs are not restricted for use to settle only the obligations of these VIEs. The remaining VIE assets are encumbered by third party non-recourse mortgage debt and a construction loan. The assets associated with these encumbered VIEs (“Restricted Assets”) are collateral under the respective mortgages and a construction loan and are therefore restricted and can only be used to settle the corresponding liabilities of the VIE. The table below summarizes the consolidated VIEs and the classification of the Restricted Assets and VIE Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows (dollars in millions):

11. Fair Value Measurements

 

All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management’s estimation, based upon an interpretation of available market information and valuation methodologies, reasonably approximate their fair values except those listed below, for which fair values are disclosed. The valuation method used to estimate fair value for fixed-rate and variable-rate debt is based on discounted cash flow analyses, with assumptions that include credit spreads, market yield curves, trading activity, loan amounts and debt maturities. The fair values for marketable securities are based on published values, securities dealers’ estimated market values or comparable market sales. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition.

 

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

 

The following are financial instruments for which the Company’s estimated fair value differs from the carrying value (in thousands):

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized impairment charges related to adjustments to property carrying values of $3.1 million and $21.6 million, respectively. The Company’s estimated fair values of these properties were primarily based upon estimated sales prices from signed contracts or letters of intent from third party offers. The Company does not have access to the unobservable inputs used to determine the estimated fair values of third party offers. Based on these inputs, the Company determined that its valuation of these investments was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. (See Footnote 3 to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding impairment charges).

12. Incentive Plans

 

In May 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Equity Participation Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which is a successor to the Restated Kimco Realty Corporation 2010 Equity Participation Plan that expired in March 2020.  The 2020 Plan provides for a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be reserved for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalents, stock payments and deferred stock awards.  At June 30, 2020, the Company had 10.0 million shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

 

The Company accounts for equity awards in accordance with FASB’s Compensation – Stock Compensation guidance which requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, restricted stock and performance shares, be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the service period based on their fair values. Fair value is determined, depending on the type of award, using either the Black-Scholes option pricing formula or the Monte Carlo method for performance shares, both of which are intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date. Fair value of restricted shares is calculated based on the price on the date of grant.

 

The Company recognized expenses associated with its equity awards of $11.5 million and $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $46.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock compensation granted under the Plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.1 years.

 

 

13. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share

 $1.71  $0.20  $1.91  $0.45 

Diluted earnings per share

 $1.71  $0.20  $1.90  $0.44 

 

(1)The effect of the assumed conversion of certain convertible units had an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of Net income available to the Company’s common shareholders per share. Accordingly, the impact of such conversions has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share calculations. Additionally, there were 1.2 million and 1.3 million stock options that were not dilutive as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 2.5 million shares of restricted stock that were not dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

 

The Company's unvested restricted share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by Kimco Realty Corporation (the “Company”) contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and includes this statement for purposes of complying with the safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “target,” “forecast” or similar expressions. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and could materially affect actual results, performances or achievements. Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, (i) general adverse economic and local real estate conditions, (ii) the inability of major tenants to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn in their business, (iii) financing risks, such as the inability to obtain equity, debt or other sources of financing or refinancing on favorable terms to the Company, (iv) the Company’s ability to raise capital by selling its assets, (v) changes in governmental laws and regulations and management’s ability to estimate the impact of such changes, (vi) the level and volatility of interest rates and management’s ability to estimate the impact thereof, (vii) pandemics or other health crises, such as coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), (viii) the availability of suitable acquisition, disposition, development and redevelopment opportunities, and risks related to acquisitions not performing in accordance with our expectations, (ix) valuation and risks related to the Company’s joint venture and preferred equity investments, (x) valuation of marketable securities and other investments, (xi) increases in operating costs, (xii) changes in the dividend policy for the Company’s common and preferred stock and the Company’s ability to pay dividends at current levels, (xiii) the reduction in the Company’s income in the event of multiple lease terminations by tenants or a failure by multiple tenants to occupy their premises in a shopping center, (xiv) impairment charges, (xv) unanticipated changes in the Company’s intention or ability to prepay certain debt prior to maturity and/or hold certain securities until maturity and (xvi) the risks and uncertainties identified under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2019. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company’s expectations will be realized. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised to refer to any further disclosures the Company makes or related subjects in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.  These unaudited financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

Executive Overview

 

Kimco Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, is one of North America’s largest publicly traded owners and operators of open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and mixed-use assets. The terms “Kimco,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” each refers to Kimco Realty Corporation and our subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.  The Company’s mission is to create destinations for everyday living that inspire a sense of community and deliver value to our many stakeholders.

 

The Company is a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and has owned and operated open-air shopping centers for over 60 years.  The Company has not engaged, nor does it expect to retain, any REIT advisors in connection with the operation of its properties. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had interests in 400 U.S. shopping center properties, aggregating 70.0 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”), located in 27 states. In addition, the Company had 198 other property interests, primarily through the Company’s preferred equity investments and other real estate investments, totaling 5.9 million square feet of GLA. The Company’s ownership interests in real estate consist of its consolidated portfolio and portfolios where the Company owns an economic interest, such as properties in the Company’s investment real estate management programs, where the Company partners with institutional investors and also retains management.  

 

The Company’s operating strategies are to (i) own and operate its shopping center properties at their highest potential through maximizing and maintaining rental income and occupancy levels, (ii) attract local area customers to its shopping centers, which offer buy online and pick up in store, off-price merchandise and day-to-day necessities rather than high-priced luxury items, and (iii) maintain a strong balance sheet.

 

The Company’s investment strategy is to invest capital into its high-quality assets, which are tightly clustered in major metropolitan markets that provide opportunity for growth while disposing of lesser quality assets in less desirable locations. Through this strategy, the Company has transformed its portfolio and will continue these efforts as deemed necessary to maximize the quality and growth of its portfolio. Property acquisitions are focused in major metropolitan areas allowing tenants to generate higher foot traffic resulting in higher sales volume accompanied with a potential for a mixed-use component. The Company believes that this will enable it to maintain higher occupancy levels, rental rates and rental growth.

 

21

 

The Company’s investment strategy also includes the retail re-tenanting, renovation and expansion of its existing centers and acquired centers, while also pursuing redevelopment opportunities to increase overall value within its portfolio. The Company may selectively acquire established income-producing real estate properties and properties requiring significant re-tenanting and redevelopment, primarily in geographic regions in which the Company presently operates. Additionally, the Company may selectively acquire land parcels in its key markets for real estate development projects for long-term investment. The Company may consider investments in other real estate sectors and in geographic markets where it does not presently operate should suitable opportunities arise. The Company also continues to simplify its business by reducing the number of joint venture investments.

 

As part of the Company’s investment strategy each property is evaluated for its highest and best use, which may include residential and mixed-use components. In addition, the Company may consider other opportunistic investments related to retailer controlled real estate, such as repositioning underperforming retail locations, retail real estate financing and bankruptcy transaction support. The Company has a capital recycling program that provides for the disposition of certain lesser quality assets. If the estimated fair value for any of these assets is less than their net carrying values, the Company would be required to take impairment charges, and such amounts could be material.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected businesses, economies and financial markets worldwide, and has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international debt and equity markets. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the retail sector in which the Company operates, and if the effects of the pandemic are prolonged, it could have a significant adverse impact on the underlying industries of many of the Company’s tenants. Accordingly, the Company’s tenants and their operations, and, thus, their ability to pay rent, have been impacted and may continue to be impacted.  All the Company’s shopping centers remain open and operational continuing to provide access to tenants providing essential goods and services. However, a substantial number of tenants have had to temporarily close their business, shortened their operating hours or offer reduced services for some period of time. As a result, the Company has observed a substantial increase in the number of tenants that have made late or partial rent payments, requested a deferral of rent payments, or defaulted on rent payments, and it is likely that more of our tenants will be similarly impacted in the future. For the months of April, May and June 2020, the Company granted selective deferrals for approximately 22%, 22% and 11%, respectively, of its annual base rent for all of the Company's wholly owned locations and the Company's share of ownership in joint ventures (collectively, the "pro-rata annual base rent") and collected 68%, 66% and 76%, respectively, of its pro-rata annual base rent. The Company continues to negotiate for the payment of the remaining April, May and June rents not yet collected.  The Company has also collected 82% of the pro-rata annual base rent for the month of July 2020. 

 

The Company considered the impacts COVID-19 has had on its tenants when evaluating the adequacy of the collectability of the lessee’s total accounts receivable balance, including the corresponding straight-line rent receivable. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $50.5 million adjustment associated with potentially uncollectible revenues and disputed amounts, which includes $11.5 million for straight-line rent receivables, primarily attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Management’s estimate of the collectability of accrued rents and accounts receivable is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. The Company will continue to monitor the economic, financial, and social conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to assess the collectability of its tenant accounts receivables. As such, the Company may determine that further adjustments to its accounts receivable may be required in the future, and such amounts may be material.

 

The impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s future results could be significant and will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, the success of governmental, business and individual actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to COVID-19, the impact of COVID-19 on economic activity, the effect of COVID-19 on the Company’s tenants and their businesses, the ability of tenants to make their rental payments and any additional closures of tenants’ businesses. 

 

The Company is continuing to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, tenants and industry as a whole.  The magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as this pandemic continues to evolve globally and within the United States. However, if the COVID-19 pandemic continues its current trajectory, such impacts could grow and become material and could materially disrupt the Company’s business operations. See Part II. Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Footnotes 1, 2, 3 and 4 to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. Management cannot, at this point, estimate ultimate losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company will continue to monitor the economic, financial, and social conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and will assess its asset portfolio for any impairment indicators. If the Company determines that any of its assets are impaired, the Company would be required to take impairment charges, and such amounts could be material. See Footnote 3 to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding impairment charges.

Revenue from rental properties, net

 

The decrease in Revenues from rental properties, net of $44.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, is primarily from (i) an increase in adjustments associated with potentially uncollectible revenues and disputed amounts, including straight-line rent receivables, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $44.9 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019 and (ii) a decrease in revenues of $8.1 million due to properties sold during 2020 and 2019, partially offset by (iii) acquisitions, tenant buyouts and net growth in the current portfolio, which provided incremental revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $4.7 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019 and (iv) the completion of certain redevelopment and development projects included in the Company’s Signature Series™, which provided incremental revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $3.6 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019.

 

23

 

The decrease in Revenues from rental properties, net of $49.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, is primarily from (i) an increase in adjustments associated with potentially uncollectible revenues and disputed amounts, including straight-line rent receivables, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $49.2 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019 and (ii) a decrease in revenues of $21.2 million due to properties sold during 2020 and 2019, partially offset by (iii) acquisitions, tenant buyouts and net growth in the current portfolio, which provided incremental revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $12.7 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019 and (iv) the completion of certain redevelopment and development projects included in the Company’s Signature Series™, which provided incremental revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $8.3 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019.

 

Operating and maintenance

 

The decrease in Operating and maintenance expense of $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, is primarily due to (i) a decrease in expenses of $1.4 million due to properties sold during 2020 and 2019, (ii) a reduction in snow removal costs of $1.2 million and (iii) a decrease in overall spending on properties primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019.

 

General and administrative –

 

The decrease in General and administrative expense of $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, is primarily due to (i) a reduction of  $1.9 million primarily due to the fluctuations in value of various directors’ deferred stock during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, (ii) a reduction in severance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $0.9 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, (iii) a reduction in travel and entertainment costs of $0.8 million due to less business related trips during the COVID-19 pandemic and (iv) a reduction in office rent expense of $0.8 million, due to the relocation of the Company’s headquarters to Company-owned office space, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019.

 

Impairment charges

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized impairment charges related to adjustments to property carrying values of $3.1 million and $21.6 million, respectively, for which the Company’s estimated fair values were primarily based upon (i) signed contracts or letters of intent from third party offers or (ii) discounted cash flow models. These adjustments to property carrying values were recognized in connection with the Company’s efforts to market certain properties and management’s assessment as to the likelihood and timing of such potential transactions. Certain of the calculation to determine fair values utilized unobservable inputs and, as such, were classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

The increase in Depreciation and amortization of $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, is primarily due to (i) an increase of $5.6 million and write-offs of depreciable assets due to tenant vacates during the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019 and (ii) an increase of $1.1 million related to the completion of certain development and redevelopment projects that were placed into service during 2020 and 2019, partially offset by (iii) a decrease of $2.1 million resulting from property dispositions in 2020 and 2019.

 

Gain on sale of properties –

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company disposed of three operating properties, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of $17.2 million, which resulted in aggregate gains of $5.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company disposed of seven operating properties and five out-parcels, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of $110.1 million. These transactions resulted in aggregate gains of $38.4 million.

 

Gain on marketable securities, net

 

The increase in Gain on marketable securities, net of $526.2 million and $520.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, is primarily the result of the mark-to-market of the Company’s Albertsons Companies, Inc. (“ACI”) investment due to their initial public offering during June 2020. This offering resulted in the Company changing the classification of its ACI investment from a cost method investment to a marketable security.

 

24

 

Gain on sale of cost method investment

 

In June 2020, the Company recognized an aggregate gain of $190.8 million related to (i) a $131.6 million gain resulting from ACI’s partial repurchase of its common stock from existing shareholders in conjunction with its issuance of convertible preferred stock and (ii) a gain of $59.2 million in connection with the partial sale of the Company’s investment in ACI through ACI’s initial public offering.

 

Interest expense

 

The increase in Interest expense of $3.9 million and $5.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, respectively, is primarily due to higher levels of borrowings during 2020, as compared to 2019.

 

Equity in income of joint ventures, net –

 

The decrease in Equity in income of joint ventures, net of $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, is primarily due to (i) the recognition of net gains of $8.5 million resulting from the sale of properties within various joint venture investments during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and (ii) lower equity in income of $3.9 million within various joint venture investments during 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, primarily resulting from the sale of properties within various joint venture investments during 2019 and an increase in adjustments of trade account receivable and straight-line receivable balances associated with the leases accounted for on a cash basis and allowances due to the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020.

 

The decrease in Equity in income of joint ventures, net of $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, is primarily due to (i) the recognition of net gains of $13.2 million resulting from the sale of properties within various joint venture investments during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and (ii) lower equity in income of $5.3 million within various joint venture investments during 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, primarily resulting from the sale of properties within various joint venture investments during 2019 and an increase in adjustments of trade account receivable and straight-line receivable balances associated with the leases accounted for on a cash basis and allowances due to the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020, partially offset by (iii) a decrease in impairment charges of $1.0 million recognized during 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019.

 

Equity in income of other real estate investments, net –

 

The decrease in Equity in income of other real estate investments, net of $8.5 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, respectively, is primarily due to a net decrease in profit participation from the sale of properties within the Company’s Preferred Equity Program during 2020, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2019.

 

Preferred dividends

 

The decrease in Preferred dividends of $8.2 million and $16.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, respectively, is primarily due the redemption of preferred shares (Classes I, J and K) during 2019.

 

Tenant Concentration

 

The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through diversification achieved by the geographic distribution of its properties and a large tenant base. At June 30, 2020, the Company’s five largest tenants were TJX Companies, Home Depot, Ahold Delhaize USA, Albertsons and Ross Stores, which represented 3.9%, 2.5%, 2.1%, 2.0% and 1.8%, respectively, of the Company’s annualized base rental revenues, including the proportionate share of base rental revenues from properties in which the Company has less than a 100% economic interest. As discussed above, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has observed a substantial increase in the number of tenants that have made late or partial rent payments, requested a deferral of rent payments, or defaulted on rent payments, and it is likely that more of our tenants will be similarly impacted in the future.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s capital resources include accessing the public debt and equity capital markets, unsecured term loans, mortgages and construction loan financing, and immediate access to the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with bank commitments of $2.0 billion which can be increased to $2.75 billion through an accordion feature.

Operating Activities

 

The Company anticipates that cash on hand, net cash flow provided by operating activities, borrowings under its Credit Facility and the issuance of equity and public debt, as well as other debt and equity alternatives, will provide the necessary capital required by the Company. The Company will continue to evaluate its capital requirements for both its short-term and long-term liquidity needs, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, which could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and other risks detailed in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors. See further discussion relating to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the “COVID-19 Pandemic”, “Investing Activities” and “Financing Activities” sections within this Item 2.

 

Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was $237.4 million, as compared to $313.5 million for the comparable period in 2019. The decrease of $76.1 million is primarily attributable to:

 

changes in accounts and notes receivables, net primarily due to the deferral of rent payments, late or partial rent payments or defaulted rent payments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;

 

the disposition of operating properties in 2020 and 2019; and

 

a decrease in distributions from the Company’s joint venture programs; partially offset by

 

new leasing, expansion and re-tenanting of core portfolio properties;

 

changes in operating assets and liabilities, net due to timing of receipts and payments; and

 

the acquisition of an operating property during 2020.

 

Due to the current economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has, and continues to have, worked with its tenants to grant rent deferrals on a tenant-by-tenant basis. The deferrals are anticipated to be paid within six to 18 months.

 

In addition, during April 2020, the Company created a Tenant Assistance Program to assist small business tenants in identifying and applying for federal and state aid to help support their businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is working in partnership with law firms to provide assistance with the application process at the Company’s expense. Legal professionals will assist tenants in identifying suitable loan programs, identifying potential lending institutions, and preparing and submitting applications.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash flow provided by investing activities was $96.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to net cash flow used for investing activities of $100.5 million for the comparable period in 2019.

 

Investing activities during 2020 primarily consisted of:

 

Cash inflows:

 

$228.4 million in proceeds from the partial sale of the Company’s ACI cost method investment prior to its initial public offering (“IPO”) and the sale of 4.7 million shares of ACI common stock at its IPO;

 

$13.4 million in proceeds from the sale of three consolidated operating properties; and

 

$2.5 million in proceeds from insurance casualty claims.

 

Cash outflows:

 

$133.2 million for improvements to operating real estate primarily related to the Company’s active redevelopment pipeline and improvements to real estate under development;

 

$9.3 million for investments in and advances to real estate joint ventures, primarily related to a redevelopment project within the Company’s joint venture portfolio, and investments in other real estate investments, primarily related to repayment of a mortgage within the Company’s Preferred Equity Program; and

 

$7.1 million for the acquisition of operating real estate.

Investing activities during 2019 primarily consisted of:

 

Cash inflows:

 

$106.8 million in proceeds from the sale of seven consolidated operating properties and five out-parcels;

 

$8.7 million in reimbursements of investments in and advances to real estate joint ventures and reimbursements of investments in and advances to other real estate investments, primarily related to the sale of properties within the Company’s joint venture portfolio and Preferred Equity Program;

 

$5.4 million in collection of mortgage loans receivable; and

 

$2.0 million in proceeds from insurance casualty claims.

 

Cash outflows:

 

$197.4 million for improvements to operating real estate primarily related to the Company’s active redevelopment pipeline and improvements to real estate under development; and

 

$25.9 million for investments in and advances to real estate joint ventures, primarily related to a redevelopment project within the Company’s joint venture portfolio, and investments in other real estate investments, primarily related to repayment of a mortgage within the Company’s Preferred Equity Program.

 

Acquisition of Operating Real Estate

 

       During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company expended $7.1 million and $0 million (after use of Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 proceeds of $31.0 million in 2019), respectively, towards the acquisition of an operating real estate property adjacent to an existing operating real estate property. The Company anticipates spending up to approximately $25.0 million towards the acquisition of operating properties for the remainder of 2020. The funding of these capital requirements will be provided by proceeds from property dispositions, net cash flow provided by operating activities and availability under the Company's Credit Facility.

 

Improvements to Operating Real Estate

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company expended $110.8 million and $139.9 million, respectively, towards improvements to operating real estate. These amounts consist of the following (in thousands):

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company capitalized payroll of $4.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and capitalized interest of $4.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in connection with the Company’s improvements to operating real estate.

 

The Company has an ongoing program to redevelop and re-tenant its properties to maintain or enhance its competitive position in the marketplace. The Company is actively pursuing redevelopment opportunities within its operating portfolio which it believes will increase the overall value by bringing in new tenants and improving the assets’ value. The Company has identified three categories of redevelopment: (i) large scale redevelopment, which involves demolishing and building new square footage; (ii) value creation redevelopment, which includes the subdivision of large anchor spaces into multiple tenant layouts; and (iii) creation of out-parcels and pads located in the front of the shopping center properties.

 

Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic mentioned above, the Company is re-evaluating its current redevelopment and re-tenanting projects and will only move forward with the projects it feels are necessary. The Company anticipates its capital commitment toward these redevelopment projects and re-tenanting efforts for the remainder of 2020 will be approximately $75.0 million to $115.0 million. The funding of these capital requirements will be provided by proceeds from property dispositions, net cash flow provided by operating activities and availability under the Company’s Credit Facility.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash flow used for financing activities was $256.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared $242.6 million for the comparable period in 2019.

 

27

 

Financing activities during 2020 primarily consisted of:

 

Cash inflows:

 

$590.0 million in proceeds from issuance of the Company’s unsecured term loan credit facility (the "Term Loan").

 

Cash outflows:

 

$254.7 million of dividends paid;

  $265.0 million in repayments of the Company’s Term Loan; 
  $200.0 million in repayments under the Company’s Credit Facility, net; 
 

$93.9 million for principal payments on debt (primarily related to the repayment of debt on two encumbered properties and the payoff of a construction loan), including normal amortization on rental property debt;

 

$22.1 million for the redemption/distribution of noncontrolling interests, primarily related to the redemption of certain partnership interests by consolidated subsidiaries;

 

$6.4 million for financing origination costs, primarily related to the Credit Facility and Term Loan; and

 

$5.3 million in other financing related costs.

 

Financing activities during 2019 primarily consisted of:

 

Cash inflows:

 

$35.0 million in proceeds from borrowings under the Company’s Credit Facility, net; and

 

$7.1 million in proceeds from construction loan financing at one development project.

 

Cash outflows:

 

$265.2 million of dividends paid;

 

$12.4 million for principal payments on debt (related to the repayment of debt on an encumbered property), including normal amortization on rental property debt; and

 

$4.1 million for the redemption/distribution of noncontrolling interests, primarily related to the redemption of certain partnership interests by consolidated subsidiaries.

 

The Company continually evaluates its debt maturities, and, based on management’s current assessment, believes it has viable financing and refinancing alternatives that will not materially adversely impact its expected financial results. The Company continues to pursue borrowing opportunities with large commercial U.S. and global banks, select life insurance companies and certain regional and local banks.  Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has noticed significant volatility in the debt markets.  Although pricing remains dependent on specific deal terms, generally spreads for non-recourse mortgage, construction loan financing and unsecured debt are wider than spreads prior to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Debt maturities for the remainder of 2020 consist of $70.5 million of consolidated debt, $39.8 million of unconsolidated joint venture debt and $61.9 million of debt included in the Company’s Preferred Equity Program, assuming the utilization of extension options where available. The 2020 consolidated debt maturities are anticipated to be repaid with operating cash flows, borrowings from the Company’s Credit Facility and debt refinancing where applicable. The 2020 debt maturities on properties included in the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures and in the Company’s Preferred Equity Program are anticipated to be repaid with operating cash flows, debt refinancing, credit facilities (where available) and partner capital contributions, as deemed appropriate.

 

The Company intends to maintain strong debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios as part of its commitment to maintain its investment-grade senior, unsecured debt ratings.  The Company may, from time to time, seek to obtain funds through additional common and preferred equity offerings, unsecured debt financings, mortgages and/or construction loan financing and other capital alternatives.

 

Since the completion of the Company’s IPO in 1991, the Company has utilized the public debt and equity markets as its principal source of capital for its expansion needs. Since the IPO, the Company has completed additional offerings of its public unsecured debt and equity, raising in the aggregate over $15.2 billion.  Proceeds from public capital market activities have been used for the purposes of, among other things, repaying indebtedness, acquiring interests in open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and mixed-use assets, funding real estate under development projects, expanding and improving properties in the portfolio and other investments.

 

During February 2018, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which is effective for a term of three years, for the future unlimited offerings, from time to time, of debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock and common stock warrants. The Company, pursuant to this shelf registration statement may, from time to time, offer for sale its senior unsecured debt for any general corporate purposes, including (i) funding specific liquidity requirements in its business, including property acquisitions, development and redevelopment costs and (ii) managing the Company’s debt maturities.

 

During May 2020, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 for its 2020 Equity Participation Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders and is a successor to the Restated Kimco Realty Corporation 2010 Equity Participation Plan that expired in March 2020.  The 2020 Plan provides for a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be reserved for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalents, stock payments and deferred stock awards.  At June 30, 2020, the Company had 10.0 million shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

Common Stock

 

During September 2019, the Company established an at the market continuous offering program (the “ATM program”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $500.0 million through a consortium of banks acting as sales agents. Sales of the shares of common stock may be made, as needed, from time to time in “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, including by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise (i) at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, (ii) at prices related to prevailing market prices or (iii) as otherwise agreed to with the applicable sales agent. The Company did not offer for sale any shares of common stock under the ATM program during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

During February 2020, the Company extended its share repurchase program for a term of two years, which will expire in February 2022, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, with an aggregate gross purchase price of up to $300.0 million. The Company did not repurchase any shares under the share repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $224.9 million available under this share repurchase program.

 

Senior Notes

 

On July 15, 2020, the Company announced the partial redemption of $200.0 million of its 3.20% senior unsecured notes outstanding, which mature in May 2021. These notes will be redeemed on July 30, 2020 and the Company will incur a prepayment charge of approximately $3.3 million resulting from the partial repayment. As of June 30, 2020, $484.9 million was outstanding on these notes.

On April 1, 2020, the Company entered into a new Term Loan with total outstanding borrowings of $590.0 million pursuant to a credit agreement with a group of banks. The Term Loan was scheduled to mature in April 2021, with a one-year extension option to extend the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion, to April 2022. The Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 140 basis points (1.65% as of June 30, 2020) or, at the Company’s option, a spread of 40 basis points to the base rate defined in the Term Loan, that in each case fluctuated in accordance with changes in the Company’s senior debt ratings. The Term Loan could be increased by an additional $750.0 million through an accordion feature. Pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan, the Company was subject to covenants that were substantially the same as those in the Credit Facility. The Company repaid $265.0 million of the outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan in June 2020 with the proceeds it received from ACI (see Footnote 6 to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). As of June 30, 2020, the Term Loan had an outstanding balance of $325.0 million and the Company was in compliance with its covenants. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, the Term Loan was fully repaid and the facility was terminated.

 

Green Bond

 

In July 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million of unsecured notes (the “Green Bond”) which are scheduled to mature in October 2030 and accrue interest at a rate of 2.70% per annum. The net proceeds from this offering are allocated to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, recently completed, existing or future Eligible Green Projects, in alignment with the four core components of the Green Bond Principles, 2018 ("GBP") as administered by the International Capital Market Association. Eligible Green Projects include projects with disbursements made in the three years preceding the issue date of the notes. The Company intends to spend the remaining net proceeds from the offering during the life of the notes.

 

Mortgages and Construction Loan Payable –

 

In August 2018, the Company closed on a construction loan commitment of $67.0 million relating to one development property. This loan commitment was scheduled to mature in August 2020, with six additional six-month options to extend the maturity date to August 2023 and bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 180 basis points. This construction loan was fully repaid in January 2020.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repaid $21.6 million of mortgage debt (including fair market value adjustment of $0.2 million) that encumbered two operating properties.

 

In addition to the public equity and debt markets as capital sources, the Company may, from time to time, obtain mortgage financing on selected properties and construction loan financing to partially fund the capital needs of its real estate development projects. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had over 320 unencumbered property interests in its portfolio.

 

COVID-19 –

 

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, an uncertainty remains in relation to the long-term economic impact it will have. As a result, the Company has focused on creating a strong liquidity position by: (i) maintaining availability under its $2.0 billion ($2.75 billion with the accordion feature) Credit Facility; (ii) issuing a new $500.0 million Green Bond; (iii) paying down its existing Term Loan; (iv) holding $201.7 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2020; and (iv) as mentioned above, having access to over 320 unencumbered property interests.

 

The Company continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, tenants and industry as a whole. The magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as this pandemic continues to evolve globally and within the United States. However, if the COVID-19 pandemic continues on its current trajectory, such impacts could grow and become material and could materially disrupt the Company’s business operations and materially adversely affect the Company’s liquidity.

 

Dividends

 

The Company’s Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the Company’s dividend policy on a quarterly basis as the Board of Directors monitors sources of capital and evaluates the impact of the economy and capital markets availability on operating fundamentals.  Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investment, the Company generally intends to maintain a dividend payout ratio that reserves such amounts as it considers necessary for the expansion and renovation of shopping centers in its portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests in new properties and other investments as suitable opportunities arise and such other factors as the Board of Directors considers appropriate.  Cash dividends paid for common and preferred issuances of stock for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $254.7 million and $265.2 million, respectively.

 

30

 

Although the Company receives substantially all of its rental payments on a monthly basis, it generally has paid dividends quarterly. Amounts accumulated in advance of each quarterly distribution will be invested by the Company in short-term money market or other suitable instruments. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the future economic uncertainties, out of an abundance of caution, the Company’s Board of Directors has temporarily suspended the dividend on its common shares. The Company’s Board of Directors will continue to monitor the Company’s financial performance and economic outlook on a monthly basis and, at a later date, intends to reinstate the common dividend during 2020 of at least the amount equal to the Company’s REIT taxable income distribution requirements.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends with respect to the Company’s classes of cumulative redeemable preferred shares (Classes L and M). All dividends on preferred shares were paid on July 15, 2020, to shareholders of record on July 1, 2020. Additionally, the Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends with respect to the Company’s classes of cumulative redeemable preferred shares (Classes L and M). All dividends on the preferred shares are scheduled to be paid on October 15, 2020, to shareholders of record on October 1, 2020.

 

Funds From Operations

 

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. NAREIT defines FFO as net income/(loss) available to the Company’s common shareholders computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains or losses from sales of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company also made an election to exclude from its calculation of FFO (i) gains and losses on the sale of assets and impairments of assets incidental to its main business and (ii) mark-to-market changes in the value of its equity securities. As such, the Company does not include gains/impairments on land parcels, gains/losses (realized or unrealized) from marketable securities or gains/impairments on preferred equity participations in NAREIT defined FFO. As a result of this election, the Company will no longer disclose FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders as adjusted (“FFO as adjusted”) as an additional supplemental measure. The incidental adjustments noted above which were previously excluded from NAREIT FFO and used to determine FFO as adjusted are now included in NAREIT FFO and therefore the Company believes FFO as adjusted is no longer necessary.

 

The Company presents FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders as it considers it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders when reporting results. Comparison of our presentation of FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.

 

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performances, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore, should not be considered an alternative for net income or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity.  Our method of calculating FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

 

The Company’s reconciliation of net income available to the Company’s common shareholders to FFO available to the Company’s common shareholders is reflected in the table below (in thousands, except per share data).

The effect of other certain convertible units would have an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of Net income available to the Company’s common shareholders per share. Accordingly, the impact of such conversion has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share calculations.

Same Property Net Operating Income(“Same property NOI”)

 

Same property NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performance and should not be considered an alternative to net income in accordance with GAAP or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. The Company considers Same property NOI as an important operating performance measure because it is frequently used by securities analysts and investors to measure only the net operating income of properties that have been owned by the Company for the entire current and prior year reporting periods. It excludes properties under redevelopment, development and pending stabilization; properties are deemed stabilized at the earlier of (i) reaching 90% leased or (ii) one year following a project’s inclusion in operating real estate. Same property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the development, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the Company's properties.

 

Same property NOI is calculated using revenues from rental properties (excluding straight-line rent adjustments, lease termination fees, TIFs and amortization of above/below market rents) less charges for bad debt, operating and maintenance expense, real estate taxes and rent expense plus the Company’s proportionate share of Same property NOI from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, calculated on the same basis. The Company’s method of calculating Same property NOI available to the Company’s common shareholders may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

This change is primarily the result of (i) adjustments associated with potentially uncollectible revenues and disputed amounts of $35.9 million, partially offset by (ii) an increase in revenues from rental properties of $6.5 million primarily related to lease-up and rent commencements in the portfolio and (iii) a decrease in operating expenses of $0.6 million.

 

Same property NOI decreased by $25.9 million or 6.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019. This change is primarily the result of (i) adjustments associated with potentially uncollectible revenues and disputed amounts of $38.5 million, partially offset by (ii) an increase in revenues from rental properties of $12.6 million primarily related to lease-up and rent commencements in the portfolio.

Leasing Activity

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company executed 392 leases totaling over 3.0 million square feet in the Company’s consolidated operating portfolio comprised of 84 new leases and 308 renewals and options. The leasing costs associated with these new leases are estimated to aggregate $25.2 million or $46.75 per square foot. These costs include $21.1 million of tenant improvements and $4.1 million of external leasing commissions. The average rent per square foot on new leases was $20.94 and on renewals and options was $17.38.

 

Tenant Lease Expirations

 

At June 30, 2020, the Company has a total of 5,372 leases in the U.S. consolidated operating portfolio. The following table sets forth the aggregate lease expirations for each of the next ten years, assuming no renewal options are exercised. For purposes of the table, the Total Annual Base Rent Expiring represents annualized rental revenue, excluding the impact of straight-line rent, for each lease that expires during the respective year.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company periodically evaluates its exposure to short-term interest rates and will, from time-to-time, enter into interest rate protection agreements which mitigate, but do not eliminate, the effect of changes in interest rates on its floating-rate debt. The Company has not entered, and does not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The following table presents the Company’s aggregate fixed rate and variable rate debt obligations outstanding, including fair market value adjustments and unamortized deferred financing costs, as of June 30, 2020, with corresponding weighted average interest rates sorted by maturity date. The table does not include extension options where available (amounts in millions).

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

 

The following information supplements and amends our discussion set forth under Part I, Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

 

The Company is not presently involved in any litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any litigation threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries that, in management's opinion, would result in any material adverse effect on the Company's ownership, management or operation of its properties taken as a whole, or which is not covered by the Company's liability insurance.

 

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

 

Except as set forth below, as of the date of this report, there are no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. 

 

The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or stock price has and may continue to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and such impact could be material.

 

In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization.  The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has had a significant adverse affect on businesses, economies and financial markets worldwide, and has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international debt and equity markets. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its long-term impact on the U.S. economy. 

 

Our business and the businesses of our tenants have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken to contain or prevent its spread. A substantial number of tenants have temporarily closed their businesses, have shortened their operating hours or offered reduced services. As a result, the Company has observed a substantial increase in the number of tenants that have made late or partial rent payments, requested a deferral of rent payments, or defaulted on rent payments, and it is likely that more of our tenants will be similarly impacted in the future. Impacts of COVID-19 could also result in the complete or partial closure of one or more of our tenants’ manufacturing facilities or distribution centers, temporary or long-term disruption in our tenants’ supply chains from local and international suppliers, and/or delays in the delivery of our tenants’ inventory.

 

Even after governmental restrictions are lifted, our tenants may continue to be impacted by economic conditions resulting from COVID-19 or public perception of the risk of COVID-19, which could adversely affect foot traffic to our tenants’ businesses and our tenants’ ability to adequately staff their businesses. Such events could severely disrupt their operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. A downturn in our tenants’ businesses that significantly weakens their financial condition could cause them to delay lease commencements or decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration and could lead to additional failures to make rental payments when due, store closures or bankruptcies, and we may be unable to collect past due balances under relevant leases. We have received requests for rent relief from some of our tenants. We are assessing these requests on a case-by-case basis and have agreed, and may continue to agree to certain relief. It is likely there will be additional requests for relief in the future.

 

In addition, like many other companies, due to government mandates, we have instructed our employees to work from home, which, especially if this persists for a prolonged period of time, may have an adverse impact on our employees, operations and systems. Extended periods of remote work arrangements, could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. While most of our operations can be performed remotely, there is no guarantee that we will be as effective while working remotely because our team is dispersed, many employees may have additional personal needs to attend to and employees may become sick themselves and be unable to work. Decreased effectiveness of our team could adversely affect our results due to our inability to meet in person with potential tenants, longer time periods to review and approve leases, longer time to respond to tenant and property issues, or other decreases in productivity that could seriously harm our business.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, could also have material and adverse effects on our ability to successfully operate and on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors:

 

 

a complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant action;

 

the reduced economic activity severely impacts our tenants' businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations;

 

the reduced economic activity could result in a prolonged recession, which could negatively impact consumer discretionary spending;

 

difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, impacts to our credit ratings, and a prolonged severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis and our tenants' ability to fund their business operations and meet their obligations to us;

 

the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our future compliance with financial covenants of our Credit Facility and other debt agreements and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness, which non-compliance could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings under our Credit Facility and pay dividends;

 

any impairment in value of our real estate assets which could be recorded as a result of a weaker economic conditions;  

 

a continued decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions could adversely affect our ability or desire to grow our portfolio of properties; and

 

a deterioration in our or our tenants' ability to operate in affected areas or delays in the supply of products or services to us or our tenants from vendors that are needed for our or our tenants' efficient operations could adversely affect our operations and those of our tenants.

 

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price will depend on numerous evolving factors that are highly uncertain and which we may not be able to predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, governmental, business and individual actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic, the impact on economic activity from the pandemic and actions taken in response, the impact on our employees any other operational disruptions or difficulties we may face, the effect on our tenants and their businesses, the ability of tenants to pay their contracted rents and any additional closures of our tenants’ businesses. These effects, individually or in the aggregate, will adversely impact our tenant’s ability to pay their contracted rent. Any of these events could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or stock price.

Financial disruption or a prolonged economic downturn could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business.

 

Worldwide financial markets have recently experienced periods of extraordinary disruption and volatility, which has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in heightened credit risk, reduced valuation of investments and decreased economic activity. Moreover, many companies have experienced reduced liquidity and uncertainty as to their ability to raise capital during such periods of market disruption and volatility. In the event that these conditions recur or result in a prolonged economic downturn, our results of operations, financial position or liquidity could be materially and adversely affected. These market conditions may affect the Company's ability to access debt and equity capital markets. In addition, as a result of recent financial events, we may face increased regulation. Many of the other risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 identify risks that result from, or are exacerbated by, financial economic downturn. These include risks related to our real estate assets, the competitive environment and regulatory developments.

SECTION 1.4     [Reserved].

 

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

 

 

 

SECTION 1.6     [Reserved].

 

SECTION 1.7     Divisions.

 

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

 

ARTICLE II

THE LOANS

 

SECTION 2.1     [Reserved].

 

SECTION 2.2     Loans; Etc.

 

(a)     Commitments.

 

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

 

(ii)     Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

 

(iii)     Subject to Section 2.8 and Section 2.10, Loans may from time to time be Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans or a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2(d) and 2.4. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that each applicable Lender shall at all times comply with the requirements of this Agreement in respect thereto, including Section 2.12, and no Lender shall make any such election if and to the extent the same would cause the Borrower to increase its payment obligations hereunder.

 

(b)     Notes. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note executed and delivered by the Borrower at the request of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, with appropriate insertions as to payee and date (a “Term Loan Note”), payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by such Lender. Each Lender is hereby authorized to record, as applicable, the date, Type and amount of each Loan made by such Lender, each continuation thereof, each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another Type, the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal thereof and, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the length of each Interest Period with respect thereto, on the schedule (including any continuation thereof) annexed to and constituting a part of its Term Loan Note and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided that the failure by any Lender to make any such recordation or any error in such recordation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes.

 

 

 

(c)     Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay all then outstanding Loans made to the Borrower on the Termination Date to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in Dollars.

 

(d)     Procedure for Borrowing Loans. The Borrower may borrow Loans on the Effective Date (if a Business Day), provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Loans are to be initially Eurocurrency Loans or (ii) on the Business Day which is the requested Borrowing Date, if the requested Loans are to be initially ABR Loans), specifying (A) the aggregate amount to be borrowed, (B) the requested Borrowing Date, (C) whether the Borrowing is to be of Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and (D) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurocurrency Loans the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.2 prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders as requested by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement.

 

(e)     Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrowing, prepayments, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, there shall be no more than four (4) Eurocurrency Tranches outstanding at any one time.

 

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

 

SECTION 2.3     Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans (subject, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans to compliance with the terms of Section 2.2(e) and Section 2.13), in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans, or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or before the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Upon receipt of any notice of prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13. Subject to Section 2.2(e), partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans). Any Loans that are prepaid may not be reborrowed.

 

 

 

SECTION 2.4     Conversion and Continuation Options.

 

(a)     The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election; provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurocurrency Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of the outstanding Eurocurrency Loans and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein; provided that (i) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion that such a conversion is not appropriate, (ii) any such conversion may only be made if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.2(e) would not be contravened, and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan after the date that is one (1) month prior to the Maturity Date.

 

(b)     Any Eurocurrency Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion that such a continuation is not appropriate, (ii) if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.2(e) would be contravened, or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any notice pursuant to this Section 2.4(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.

 

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

 

SECTION 2.6     Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

 

(a)     Each Loan shall bear interest (i) if a Eurocurrency Loan, for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) if an ABR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

 

(b)     If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6 plus 2% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, fee or other amount, the rate described in Section 2.6(a)(ii) plus 2%, in each case from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

 

 

 

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

 

SECTION 2.7     Computation of Interest and Fees.

 

(a)     Interest (other than interest calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

 

(b)     Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan.

 

SECTION 2.8     Market Disruption and Alternate Rate of Interest.

 

(a)     [Reserved].

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

SECTION 2.9     Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

 

(a)     Each borrowing by the Borrower of Loans and each payment by the Borrower on account of any fees hereunder, as applicable, shall be made pro rata according to the respective Applicable Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of Loans then held by the Lenders. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made in Dollars without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Section 10.2 in immediately available funds. It is understood that, if any payment of principal is made on any day in accordance with the preceding sentence, no interest shall accrue on such day in respect of such principal. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to any such payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

 

(b)     Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.9(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the rate per annum applicable to such Borrowing, on demand, from the Borrower.

 

SECTION 2.10     Illegality.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any Change in Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans, to continue Eurocurrency Loans as such, or to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.13.

 

 

 

SECTION 2.11     Requirements of Law.

 

(a)     If any Change in Law:

 

(i)     shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve (except to the extent that such reserve is included in the Eurocurrency Rate), special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge, or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any relevant office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate;

 

(ii)     shall impose on such Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement (other than Taxes); or

 

(iii)     subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes and (y) Excluded Taxes);

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient, by an amount which such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such other Recipient, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to the Loans, this Agreement or the Commitments generally. If any Lender or any other Recipient becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11(a), it shall promptly notify the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled, provided that such amounts shall be no greater than amounts that such Lender or such other Recipient is generally charging other borrowers or account parties similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness to the Borrower.

 

(b)     If any Lender shall have determined that the application of any Requirement of Law or any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital or liquidity as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such application or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity and such Lender’s treatment of its Commitments and Loans for internal purposes as of the date on which it became a party hereto) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such request), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, for such reduction with respect to the Loans, this Agreement or the Commitments generally; provided that such amounts shall be no greater than amounts that such Lender is generally charging other borrowers or account parties similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness to the Borrower.

 

 

 

(c)     [Reserved]

 

(d)     A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.11 submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder (the date on which all of the foregoing shall have occurred, the “Final Date”), until the first anniversary of the Final Date. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.11, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any greater amounts than such Lender(s) is (are) generally charging other borrowers or account parties similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness to the Borrower.

 

(e)     For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.11 (i) shall not entitle any Recipient to compensation in respect of any Excluded Taxes, (ii) shall not apply to (A) Indemnified Taxes imposed on payments by or on account of any obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document or (B) Other Taxes, it being understood that such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.12, and (iii) shall not relieve any Lender of any obligation pursuant to Section 2.12.

 

SECTION 2.12     Taxes.

 

(a)     All payments made by any Loan Party under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by any Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made. Each Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(b)     Indemnification by each Loan Party. Without duplication of any payments made pursuant to Section 2.12(a), each Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are directly paid or payable by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.12(b)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity under this Section 2.12(b) shall be paid within 10 days after the Recipient delivers to the applicable Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent.

 

 

 

(c)     Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the applicable Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Loan Party to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.12(c) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

 

(d)     Status of Lenders.

 

(i)     Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.12(d)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.12(d). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

 

(ii)     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower or Loan Party (or, if the Borrower or Loan Party is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its sole owner) is a U.S. Person, any Lender (or if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, its sole owner) with respect to the Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(A)     IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

 

(B)     (1) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

 

 

(C)     IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

(D)     (1) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

 

(E)     (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this subsection (d)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or

 

(F)     any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

 

(iii)     If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.12(d)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

SECTION 2.13     Indemnity.

 

The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense (including post-judgment expenses) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans or in the conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting or accepting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may, at the option of any Lender, include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the relevant Interest Period (or proposed Interest Period), in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurocurrency market or other relevant market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder, until the first anniversary of the Final Date.

 

SECTION 2.14     Change of Lending Office.

 

Each Lender and each Transferee agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12 with respect to such Lender or Transferee, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender or Transferee) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender or Transferee, cause such Lender or Transferee and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.14 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender or Transferee pursuant to Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12.

 

 

 

SECTION 2.15     Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

 

Kimco shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.12, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10 and as a result thereof any of the actions described in Section 2.10 is required to be taken, (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (d) does not consent to any amendment, waiver, supplement or modification to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained but that requires the consent of additional Lenders pursuant to any Loan Document, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.13 if any Eurocurrency Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that Kimco shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) the replaced Lender shall (except as provided in the following clause (ix)) be released from its obligations under this Agreement, (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.12, as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender if it defaulted in its obligation to make Loans hereunder.

 

SECTION 2.16     [Reserved].

 

SECTION 2.17     Defaulting Lenders.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

ARTICLE III

[RESERVED]

 

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

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

 

SECTION 4.1     Financial Condition.

 

The consolidated balance sheet of Kimco and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the respective fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Lenders, are complete and correct and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of Kimco and its subsidiaries as at such dates, as applicable and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the applicable fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1, neither Kimco nor any of the Consolidated Entities has, at the Effective Date, any material Indebtedness, Guarantee Obligation, contingent liability or liability for taxes, or any unusual forward or long-term commitment, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1, during the period from December 31, 2019 to and including the Effective Date there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by Kimco or any of the Consolidated Entities of any material part of its business or property and no purchase or other acquisition of any business or property (including any capital stock of any other Person) material in relation to the consolidated financial condition of Kimco and the Consolidated Entities at December 31, 2019.

 

 

 

SECTION 4.2     No Change.

 

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

 

SECTION 4.3     Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law.

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION 4.4     Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.

 

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

 

SECTION 4.5     No Legal Bar.

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

SECTION 4.6     No Material Litigation.

 

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

 

SECTION 4.7     No Default.

 

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

 

SECTION 4.8     Ownership of Property.

 

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

 

SECTION 4.9     Intellectual Property.

 

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

 

SECTION 4.10     No Burdensome Restrictions; Disclosure.

 

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

 

 

 

SECTION 4.11     Taxes.

 

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

 

SECTION 4.12     Federal Regulations.

 

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

 

SECTION 4.13     ERISA.

 

No Reportable Event has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan maintained by Kimco or any Commonly Controlled Entity (based on those assumptions used to fund the Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits.

ARTICLE IX

THE AGENTS

 

SECTION 9.1     Appointment and Authorization.

 

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

 

 

 

SECTION 9.2     Administrative Agent as Lender.

 

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

 

SECTION 9.3     Approvals of Lenders.

 

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

 

SECTION 9.4     Notice of Events of Default.

 

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

 

 

 

SECTION 9.5     Administrative Agent’s Reliance.

 

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

 

SECTION 9.6     Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

 

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

 

 

 

SECTION 9.7     Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

 

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

 

SECTION 9.8     Successor Administrative Agent.

 

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

 

 

 

SECTION 9.9     Titled Agents.

 

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

 

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

 

(i)     such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans or the Commitments,

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Notes. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under any outstanding Notes and any other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing to the extent therein specified; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

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

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

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

 

(d)     Electronic Systems.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

SECTION 10.3     No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

 

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

SECTION 10.4     Survival of Representations and Warranties.

 

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

 

SECTION 10.5     Payment of Expenses and Taxes.

 

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

 

 

 

SECTION 10.6     Successors and Assigns.

 

For purposes of this Section 10.6 the term “Related Parties” shall have the meaning given thereto in Section 9.1 hereof.

 

(a)     The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) none of the Loan Parties may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

(b)     (i)     Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

 

(A)     Kimco, provided that (I) no consent of Kimco shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below), or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee and (II) Kimco shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

 

(B)     the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Loan to an assignee that is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

 

(ii)     Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

 

(A)     except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption (as defined below) with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless Kimco and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of Kimco shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

 

 

(B)     each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its Loans under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

 

(C)     the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit A or in any other form (including electronic records generated by the use of an electronic platform) approved by the Administrative Agent (an “Assignment and Assumption”) (or to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Electronic System as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants), together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,000 (which, except as provided in Section 2.15, shall not be payable by the Borrower);

 

(D)     the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in the form approved by the Administrative Agent (an “Administrative Questionnaire”); and

 

(E)     assignments shall not be permitted to be made to any Ineligible Institution.

 

(iii)     Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

 

(iv)     The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(v)     Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this paragraph (b) and any written consent to such assignment required by this paragraph (b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.9(b), 3.4, 3.5 or 9.2, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

 

 

 

(c)     Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than any Ineligible Institution) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its Loans under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 10.1 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.12(d) (it being understood that the documentation requirement under Section 2.12(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.9 and 2.15 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 or 2.12, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.11(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.11(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

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

 

SECTION 10.7     Disclosure.

 

Subject to Section 10.19, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

 

 

 

SECTION 10.8     Incremental Commitments.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

SECTION 10.9     Extension of Maturity Date.

 

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

 

SECTION 10.10     Subsidiary Guarantors.

 

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

 

(b)     A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from any Subsidiary Guarantee upon written request by Kimco; provided that (i) there is no Event of Default after giving effect to such release (including any changes resulting from any Property’s ceasing to be an Unencumbered Property if such released guarantor immediately prior to giving effect to such release was an Obligated Property Owner in respect thereof), (ii) Kimco is in compliance with each of the financial covenants set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of Section 7.1 if the ratio or amount referred to therein were to be calculated as of such date, but after giving effect to such release (including any changes resulting from any Property’s ceasing to be an Unencumbered Property if such released guarantor was an Obligated Property Owner in respect thereof immediately prior to giving effect to such release and provided that for the purposes of determining such compliance, Gross Asset Value shall be determined for the most recent Test Period as to which a compliance certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(b)), and (iii) Kimco has furnished to the Administrative Agent a certificate of its chief financial officer or other authorized financial officer as to the matters referred to in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii).

 

 

 

SECTION 10.11     Adjustments; Set-off.

 

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

 

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

If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION 10.26     Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Covered Entity” means any of the following:

 

 

(i)

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

 

 

(ii)

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

 

 

(iii)

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

 

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

 

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

[FORM OF] SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE

 

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

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(f)     Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Administrative Agent in writing that such payment is made under this Subsidiary Guarantee for such purpose.

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

3

 

 

 

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

 

7.     Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon this Subsidiary Guarantee or acceptance of this Subsidiary Guarantee; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Subsidiary Guarantee; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Subsidiary Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor understands and agrees that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or other obligor in respect of any of the Obligations against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Obligations, or of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower or any other Person or against any guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any such other Person or to realize upon any such guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower or any such other Person or any guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve such Subsidiary Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against such Subsidiary Guarantor. This Subsidiary Guarantee

 

4

 

 

 

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

 

8.     Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsidiary Guarantee, this Subsidiary Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

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

 

 

 

6

 

 

 

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

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

 

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

unconditionally:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

2.2     Performance Conditions.

 

(a)     The payment of Shares with respect to Participant’s Performance Shares is contingent on the attainment of the Performance Goals. Accordingly, Participant will not become entitled to payment with respect to the Performance Shares subject to this Agreement unless and until the Administrator determines whether and to what extent the Performance Goals have been attained. Upon such determination by the Administrator and subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, Participant shall be entitled to payment of that portion of the Performance Shares as corresponds to the Performance Goals attained (as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion) as set forth in Section 2.2(b) below.

(i)     If, as of a Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the period beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and ending on such Valuation Date is less than the Minimum TSR, then no Shares shall be awarded and the Performance Shares shall thereupon be forfeited.

 

(ii)     If, as of a Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the period beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and ending on such Valuation Date is equal to the Minimum TSR, then the Company shall award to Participant that number of Shares equal to 50% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Grant Notice and the remaining Performance Shares shall thereupon be forfeited.

 

(iii)     If, as of a Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the period beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and ending on such Valuation Date is equal to the Target TSR, then the Company shall award to Participant that number of Shares equal to 100% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Grant Notice.

 

(iv)     If, as of a Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the period beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and ending on such Valuation Date is equal to the 75% TSR, then the Company shall award to Participant that number of Shares equal to 150% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Grant Notice.

 

(v)     If, as of a Valuation Date, the Company’s TSR with respect to the period beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and ending on such Valuation Date is equal to the Maximum TSR, then the Company shall award to Participant that number of Shares equal to 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Grant Notice.

 

(vi)     The number of Shares to be awarded if, as of a Valuation Date, the Company’s Total Stockholder Return with respect to the period beginning on the Performance Commencement Date and ending on such Valuation Date is between the Minimum TSR and the Target TSR, between the Target TSR and the 75% TSR or between the 75% TSR and the Maximum TSR shall be determined by means of linear interpolation and the remaining Performance Shares shall thereupon be forfeited. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum number of Shares that may be awarded to Participant hereunder with respect to the Performance Period shall be equal to that number of Shares equal to 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Grant Notice; no additional Shares above 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth on the Grant Notice shall be awarded if the Company’s TSR exceeds the Maximum TSR.

 

2.3     Effect of Termination of Service.

(b)     Notwithstanding Section 2.3(a), in the event of a Termination of Service as a result of a Qualifying Termination, Participant shall remain eligible to receive payment from the Performance Shares subject to the terms of Section 2.2(b) above without regard to the continued employment condition. Any such payments shall occur on the applicable Payment Date set forth in Section 2.4 below.

If Participant incurs a Termination of Service that does not qualify as a Qualifying Termination, all outstanding Restricted Shares shall be immediately forfeited.

 

2.6     Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the award of Performance Shares by the Company, Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Affiliate. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and Participant.

 

2.7     Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the Performance Shares shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the Performance Shares and any Shares underlying the Performance Shares and deliverable hereunder unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company); provided, however, that any and all cash dividends paid on Restricted Shares and any and all shares of Common Stock, capital stock or other securities received by or distributed to Participant with respect to the Restricted Shares as a result of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company (“Distributions”) shall also be subject to the Restrictions until such restrictions on the such Restricted Shares lapse or are removed pursuant to this Agreement (at which point such portion of the Distributions held by the Company that was paid on those Restricted Shares as to which the Restrictions lapse or are removed shall also be released to Participant (provided that in no event shall more than 100% of the Distributions be paid to Participant)) and any other Distributions shall be forfeited at such time as the corresponding Restricted Shares are forfeited by Participant pursuant to this Agreement. Until the Restricted Shares vest, any certificates representing the Restricted Shares may bear such legends evidencing Restrictions as may be determined by the Company in its discretion.

 

2.8     Award of Shares. On the applicable Payment Date, the Company shall cause that number of Shares to be registered in the name of Participant (which shall be entered in book entry form or held in custody by the Company or its designee, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, until such time as the Restricted Shares become vested pursuant to Section 2.5) equal to the number of Performance Shares subject to this award that are payable pursuant to the achievement of the Performance Goals as set forth in Section 2.2(b), above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Shares cannot be issued pursuant to Section 2.9(a), (b) or (c) hereof, then the Shares shall be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator determines that Shares can again be issued in accordance with Sections 2.9(a), (b) and (c) hereof.

 

2.9     Conditions to Delivery of Shares. The Shares deliverable hereunder, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or issued shares of Common Stock which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such shares of Common Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares deliverable hereunder or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

ARTICLE 3.      

DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

3.1     Grant of Dividend Equivalents. The Company hereby grants to Participant an award of Dividend Equivalents as set forth in this Article 3 (the “Dividend Equivalents”), subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan. The Dividend Equivalents hereunder shall remain outstanding from the Grant Date through the earlier to occur of (a) the termination or forfeiture for any reason of the Performance Shares to which such Dividend Equivalent corresponds, or (b) the delivery to Participant of the Shares, whether vested or unvested, underlying the Performance Shares to which such Dividend Equivalent corresponds. Participant shall not be entitled to any payment under a Dividend Equivalent with respect to any dividend with a record date that occurs prior to the Grant Date or after the termination of such Performance Shares for any reason, whether due to payment, forfeiture or otherwise. If any Performance Share linked to a Dividend Equivalent fails to vest and is forfeited for any reason, then (a) the linked Dividend Equivalent shall be forfeited as well, (b) any amounts otherwise payable in respect of such Dividend Equivalent shall be forfeited without payment, and (c) the Company shall have no further obligations in respect of such Dividend Equivalent.

 

3.2     Payment of Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents shall be paid in Shares (or Restricted Shares to the extent the related Shares are paid in the form of Restricted Shares) only on the number of Shares underlying the Performance Shares that vest in accordance with this Agreement by determining the sum of the dividends paid or payable on such number of Shares with respect to each record date that occurs between the Grant Date and the date on which the Performance Shares are settled pursuant to Section 2.4 (without any interest or compounding), divided (to the third decimal point) by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date on which the Performance Shares are settled pursuant to Section 2.4. The issuance of Shares in settlement of the Dividend Equivalents shall occur at the same time as the vested Performance Shares to which such Dividend Equivalents correspond are settled pursuant to Section 2.4. In no event will fractional shares be issued upon settlement of the Dividend Equivalents. In lieu of any fractional Share, the Company shall make a cash payment to Participant equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share on the date the Dividend Equivalents are settled pursuant to this Article 3.

 

3.3     Separate Payments. Dividend Equivalents and any amounts that may become distributable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the Performance Shares and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of the designation of time and form of payments required by Section 409A of the Code.

 

ARTICLE 4.      

OTHER PROVISIONS

4.1     Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee or the Board shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Performance Shares.

 

4.2     Grant is Not Transferable.

Neither the Performance Shares, the Restricted Shares nor any interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.

Participant acknowledges that the Performance Shares are subject to amendment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and Section 12.2 of the Plan.

 

4.5     Withholding.

 

(a)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to require payment by Participant of any sums required by applicable law to be withheld with respect to the grant of the Performance Shares or the issuance or vesting of the Shares. Such payment shall be made by deduction from other compensation payable to Participant or in such other form of consideration acceptable to the Company which may, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, include:

 

(i)     Cash or check;

 

(ii)      Surrender of shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, Shares otherwise payable pursuant to the Performance Shares) held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the applicable amount required to be withheld by statute; or

 

(iii)     Other property acceptable to the Administrator (including, without limitation, through the delivery of a notice that Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares payable pursuant to the Performance Shares, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of its withholding obligations; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company at such time as may be required by the Company, but in any event not later than the settlement of such sale).

 

(b)     The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing Shares to Participant or Participant’s legal representative or enter such Shares in book entry form unless and until Participant or Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the grant of the Performance Shares or the issuance of Shares pursuant to the Performance Shares.

 

4.6     Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office or the Secretary’s then-current email address or facsimile number, and any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant at Participant’s last address, email address or facsimile number reflected on the Company’s records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 4.6, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.

 

4.7     Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

 

4.8     Governing Law. The laws of the State of Maryland shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

 

4.9     Conformity to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Performance Shares are granted, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

 

4.10     Amendments, Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Committee or the Board; provided that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely affect the Performance Shares in any material way without the prior written consent of Participant.

 

4.11     Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

 

4.12     Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Performance Shares and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

 

4.13     Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

4.14     Section 409A. The Performance Shares and Restricted Shares are not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, “Section 409A”). However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that the Performance Shares and/or the Restricted Shares (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate either for the Performance Shares and/or Restricted Shares to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

 

4.15     Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Performance Shares and the Shares, and rights no greater than the right to receive shares of Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the Performance Shares and/or the Shares, as and when payable hereunder. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and Participant.

Section 3.5     Delivery of Shares; Tax Withholding.

 

(a)     Subject to Section 3.5(b), upon the vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock as provided in Section 3.2, the Company shall cause the vested Shares to be delivered to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative, free from the legend provided for in Section 3.4 and any of the other Restrictions.

Such delivery of the Shares shall be made by a transfer of the certificates representing such Shares, by appropriate book entry procedures or by such other method as may be determined by the Administrator consistent with the Plan.

 

(b)     Notwithstanding Section 3.5(a), vested Shares shall not be delivered to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative unless and until the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative shall have paid to the Company the full amount of all federal and state withholding or other taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Participant resulting from the grant of Restricted Stock or the lapse or removal of the Restrictions.

The Participant understands that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Participant may elect to be taxed at the time of the Award Date, rather than at the time the Restrictions lapse, by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (an “83(b) Election”) with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days of the Award Date. In the event the Participant files an 83(b) Election, the Participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the amount, if any, paid for the shares of Common Stock and the Fair Market Value of such shares as of the Award Date. The Participant acknowledges that the foregoing is only a summary of the effect of United States federal income taxation with respect to the award of Restricted Stock hereunder, and does not purport to be complete. THE Participant further acknowledges that the Company is not responsible for filing the Participant’s 83(b) Election, and the Company has directed THE Participant to seek independent advice regarding the applicable provisions of the Code, the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which THE Participant may reside, and the tax consequences of THE Participant’s death.

Section 4.2     Rights as Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon delivery of the shares of Restricted Stock to the escrow holder pursuant to Section 3.4, the Participant shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to said shares, subject to the Restrictions herein, including the right to vote the shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the shares or Restricted Stock; provided, however, that any and all shares of Common Stock received by the Participant with respect to such Restricted Stock as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization shall also be subject to the Restrictions until the Restrictions on the underlying shares of Restricted Stock lapse or are removed pursuant to this Agreement.

 

[Section 4.3     Non-Solicitation.

 

(a)     During the Participant’s active period of employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates and during the two year period immediately following the Participant’s Termination of Service (the “Restricted Period”), the Participant shall not (i) in any capacity, solicit for employment, or recommend that another person solicit for employment, any person who is an active employee of the Company at the time of said solicitation or (ii) on behalf of the Participant, or any other person, firm or corporation, solicit for competitive purposes, directly or indirectly, any of the Company’s customers, clients, tenants, and business or joint venture partners with whom Participant had contact while working for the Company or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 4.3(a), the term “contact” shall mean engaging in any communication, whether written or oral, with the customer, client, tenant, supplier and business or joint venture partner or representative thereof that results or is reasonably expected to result in a material loss of existing business for the Company or any of its Affiliates. If Participant breaches this Section 4.3(a), the Restricted Period for non-solicitation shall not expire until Participant is out of breach for a period of one (1) year (or, if longer, the end of the Restricted Period). The Participant acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 4.3 are reasonable and shall be in addition to any similar provisions the Participant may have entered into with the Company or any of its Affiliates.

 

(b)     In the event the terms of this Section 4.3 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.]

 

Section 4.4     [Not a Contract of Employment.][No Right to Continued Service.] Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the [employ][service] of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries [or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company or its Subsidiaries, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except as may otherwise be provided by any written agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Participant].

 

Section 4.5     Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

 

Section 4.6     Conformity to Securities Laws. The Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any and all regulations and rules promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Award is granted, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

 

Section 4.7     Amendment, Suspension and Termination. The Award may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board, provided, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, neither the amendment, suspension nor termination of this Agreement shall, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under the Award.

 

Section 4.8     Notices. Notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the United States mail by certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid, electronic mail or facsimile addressed to the Participant to the Participant’s address, email address or facsimile number shown in the Company records, and to the Company at its principal executive office or the Secretary’s then-current email address or facsimile number.

 

Section 4.9     Electronic Communications. The Company and its Affiliates may choose to deliver any documents related to the Participant’s current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. By accepting the Award, the Participant consents and agrees to electronic delivery of any Plan documents, proxy materials, annual reports and other related documents, including all materials required to be distributed pursuant to applicable securities laws. The Company has established procedures for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of Plan documents (including documents relating to any programs adopted under the Plan). The Participant consents to such procedures and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company, one of its Affiliates or a third party designated by the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Participant agrees that his or her electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, his or her manual signature. The Participant understands that, unless earlier revoked by the Participant, this consent shall be effective for the duration of the Agreement and that he or she shall have the right at any time to request written copies of any and all materials referred to above.

[1] During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $50.5 million adjustment associated with potentially uncollectible revenues and disputed amounts, which includes $11.5 million for straight-line rent receivables, primarily attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic.
[2] The effect of the assumed conversion of certain convertible units had an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of Net income available to the Company’s common shareholders per share. Accordingly, the impact of such conversions has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share calculations. Additionally, there were 1.2 million and 1.3 million stock options that were not dilutive as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 2.5 million shares of restricted stock that were not dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]

1. Business and Organization

 

Kimco Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, is one of North America’s largest publicly traded owners and operators of open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and mixed-use assets.  The terms “Kimco,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” each refers to Kimco Realty Corporation and our subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The Company, its affiliates and related real estate joint ventures are engaged principally in the ownership, management, development and operation of open-air shopping centers, which are anchored generally by grocery stores, off-price retailers, home improvement centers, discounters and/or service-oriented tenants. Additionally, the Company provides complementary services that capitalize on the Company’s established retail real estate expertise.

 

The Company elected status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning in its taxable year ended December 31, 1991 and operates in a manner that enables the Company to maintain its status as a REIT.  As a REIT, with respect to each taxable year, the Company must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable income (excluding capital gain) and does not pay federal income taxes on the amount distributed to its shareholders.  The Company is not generally subject to federal income taxes if it distributes 100 percent of its taxable income.  Most states where the Company holds investments in real estate, conform to the federal rules recognizing REITs.  Certain subsidiaries have made a joint election with the Company to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), which permit the Company to engage in certain business activities which the REIT may not conduct directly.  A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on its income, and the Company includes, when applicable, a provision for taxes in its condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company is subject to and also includes in its tax provision non-U.S. income taxes on certain investments located in jurisdictions outside the U.S. These investments are held by the Company at the REIT level and not in the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company does not expect a U.S. income tax impact associated with the repatriation of undistributed earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic -

 

In March 2020, coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization ("WHO"). Shortly thereafter, the President of the United States declared a national emergency throughout the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected businesses, economies, and financial markets worldwide, and has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international debt and equity markets. The impact of COVID-19 on the retail industry for both landlords and tenants has been wide ranging, including, but not limited to, the temporary closures of many businesses, "shelter in place" orders, social distancing guidelines and other governmental, business and individual actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. There has also been reduced consumer spending due to job losses, government restrictions in response to COVID-19 and other effects attributable to COVID-19. 

 

The COVID-19 pandemic, while still unfolding, has significantly impacted the Company’s stakeholders. The Company is aware of the critical role its shopping centers play in the communities they serve, often providing access to essential goods and services such as groceries, drug stores, and medical care. The Company’s shopping centers generally remain open to continue to provide access to these essential goods and services, and the Company has taken steps to protect the shoppers and tenants at its sites, following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") and the WHO.

 

In March 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, a substantial tax and spending package intended to provide additional economic stimulus to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic closely, as well as any effects that may result from the CARES Act on the Company's tenants which would then indirectly affect the Company.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant economic uncertainty and volatility. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, in the near term, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The Company’s business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company is not able to predict at this time, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, governmental, business and individual actions that have been and continue to be, taken in response to the pandemic, the impact on economic activity from the pandemic and actions taken in response, the effect on the Company’s tenants and their businesses, the ability of tenants to make their rental payments, additional closures of tenants’ businesses and the impact of opening and reclosing of communities in response to the resurgence of COVID-19. Any of these events could materially adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or stock price. The Company will continue to monitor the economic, financial, and social conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and will assess its asset portfolio for any impairment indicators. In addition, The Company will continue to monitor for any material or adverse effects resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The health and safety of the Company’s employees and their families is a top priority. The Company has taken the necessary steps to protect its employees and to empower them to work from home and care for their family members and children, whose lives have also been impacted.

 

 

Beginning March 11, 2020, the Company transitioned nearly 100% of its workforce to work from home, ensuring they are safely situated during this critical social distancing period.

 

All business travel has been stopped until further notice.

 

The Company has benefited from recent investments in new technology and software over the last year, as its entire team is equipped with new laptops and cellular capability to enable them to work remotely.

 

Daily webinar training was provided to ensure associates are fully supported to work from home. The Company’s human resources and information technology teams are available to all employees to address any needs or concerns they may have.

 

Associates will be provided paid time off to care for themselves or family members diagnosed with COVID-19.

 

The Company has ramped up communications at all levels and has initiated Company-wide virtual meetings such that executives are accessible, able to keep associates informed, and able to answer questions.

 

The Company will continue to evaluate individual situations as they arise and adjust its approach as appropriate, with the goal to enable its employees to be as productive as possible while offering them the flexibility they need to care for themselves and their families.

 

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s shopping centers have remained open; however, a substantial number of tenants had or continue to have temporarily closed their businesses. Others had, or continue to have, shortened their operating hours or offered reduced services. The Company has also observed a substantial increase in the number of tenants that have made late or partial rent payments, requested a deferral of rent payments or defaulted on rent payments. The Company considered the effects COVID-19 has had on its tenants when evaluating the adequacy of the collectability of the lessee’s total accounts receivable balance, including the corresponding straight-line rent receivable. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $50.5 million adjustment associated with potentially uncollectible revenues and disputed amounts, which includes $11.5 million for straight-line rent receivables, primarily attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Management’s estimate of the collectability of accrued rents and accounts receivable is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation.

 

As a result of the current economic uncertainty and the impact to many of the Company's tenants, the Company has taken important steps to offer its support, including:

 

(1)

The Company has, and continues to have, worked with these tenants to grant rent deferrals on a tenant-by-tenant basis. The deferrals are anticipated to be paid within six to 18 months.

 

(2)

During April 2020, the Company began piloting a Tenant Assistance Program to assist small business tenants in identifying and applying for federal and state aid to help support their businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is working in partnership with law firms to provide assistance with the application process at the Company’s expense. Legal professionals will assist tenants in identifying suitable loan programs, identifying potential lending institutions, and preparing and submitting applications.

 

(3)

The Company is closely monitoring recommendations and mandates of federal, state and local governments, and health authorities.

 

(4)

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S., the Company immediately increased the frequency and intensity of its janitorial services to help prevent the spread of the virus. Areas such as public bathrooms, interior concourses and hallways, vestibules and shared doors, and elevators and escalators are being sanitized multiple times per day.

 

(5)

The Company’s teams worked to provide additional assistance in the communities where it operates, finding creative ways to use its conveniently located shopping centers during this difficult time. The Company fast-tracked the approval of drive-thru testing centers, blood-drive locations, and school lunch pick-ups.

 

(6)

The Company launched the Kimco Curbside Pickup™ program designating dedicated parking spots for curbside pickup at its centers for use by all tenants and their customers.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation -

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company. The Company’s subsidiaries include subsidiaries which are wholly-owned or which the Company has a controlling interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with the Consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “10-K”), as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, that would duplicate those included in the 10-K are not included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Reclassifications - 

 

Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period’s presentation.  For comparative purposes, the Company reclassified (i) $9.4 million of Marketable securities from Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2019 and (ii) $0.1 million and $1.6 million of Gain on marketable securities, net from Other income, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

 

Subsequent Events -

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in its condensed consolidated financial statements (See Footnotes 3, 8 and 16 to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

New Accounting Pronouncements –

 

In April 2020, the FASB staff developed a question-and-answer document, Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, which focuses on the application of the lease guidance in Topic 842, Leases, and Topic 840, Leases (if Topic 842 has not yet been adopted) for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FASB staff has been made aware that, given the unprecedented and global nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it may be exceedingly challenging for entities to determine whether existing contracts provide enforceable rights and obligations for lease concessions and, if so, whether those concessions are consistent with the terms of the contract or are modifications to a contract. As such, an entity can elect not to evaluate whether certain relief provided by a lessor in response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a lease modification. An entity that makes this election can then elect to apply the modification guidance to that relief or account for the concession as if it were contemplated as part of the existing contract. This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. For example, this election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract.

 

Some concessions will provide a deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original contract. A deferral affects the timing of cash receipts, but the amount of the consideration is substantially the same as that required by the original contract. The FASB staff expects that there will be multiple ways to account for those deferrals, none of which the FASB staff believes are preferable to the others. Two of those methods are:

 

(i)

Account for the concessions as if no changes to the lease contract were made. Under that accounting, a lessor would increase its lease receivable, and a lessee would increase its accounts payable as receivables/payments accrue. In its income statement, a lessor would continue to recognize income, and a lessee would continue to recognize expense during the deferral period.

 

(ii)

Account for the deferred payments as variable lease payments.

 

The Company has elected to apply the modification relief as mentioned in (i) above to the lease concessions it has entered into during the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic as a lessor related to rental income recognized.

 

       The following table represents ASUs to the FASB’s ASC that, as of June 30, 2020, are not yet effective for the Company and for which the Company has not elected early adoption, where permitted:

The amendments clarify the interaction between the accounting for equity securities, equity method investments, and certain derivative instruments. This ASU, among other things, clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require a company to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under Topic 323 for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method.

January 1, 2021; Early adoption permitted

The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations.

 

The following ASUs to the FASB’s ASC have been adopted by the Company as of the date listed:

 

ASU

Description

Adoption Date

Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting

This ASU is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the US GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates.

This guidance is effective immediately, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022.

 

The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations.

 

ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments

This ASU improves and clarifies various financial instruments topics. The ASU includes seven different issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments to GAAP, intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications.

The amendment is divided into issues 1 to 7 with different effective dates.

The Company adopted issues 1-7 of this ASU, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations.

 

ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810) – Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities

The amendment to Topic 810 clarifies the following areas:

(i)   Applying the variable interest entity (VIE) guidance to private companies under common control, and

(ii)  Considering indirect interests held through related parties under common control, for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests.

 

This update improves the accounting for those areas, thereby improving general purpose financial reporting. Retrospective adoption is required.

 

January 1, 2020; Early adoption permitted

The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations

ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract

January 1, 2020; Early adoption permitted

The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations

ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement

 

The amendment modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in Topic 820, based on the concepts in the FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting – Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, including the consideration of costs and benefits.

January 1, 2020; Early adoption permitted

The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

 

ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

 

ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Targeted Transition Relief

 

ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

The new guidance introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses.

 

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which includes amendments to (i) clarify receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of the new leasing standard (Topic 842) discussed below and (ii) align the implementation date for nonpublic entities’ annual financial statements with the implementation date for their interim financial statements. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date.

 

In  May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which amends ASU 2016-13 to allow companies to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (i) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (ii) are within the scope of ASC 326-203 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10.4. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. These amendments should be applied on a modified-retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings balance in the statement of financial position as of the date that an entity adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13. Certain disclosures are required. The effective date will be the same as the effective date in ASU 2016-13. 

 

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, which clarifies treatment of certain credit losses and disclosure requirements.

 

January 1, 2020; Early adoption permitted

The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective method.

 

While the Company’s mortgages and other financing receivables are impacted by this ASU, the adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impairments -

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $3.1 million and $21.6 million, respectively, related to adjustments to property carrying values for properties which the Company has sold or marketed for sale as part of its active capital recycling program and as such has adjusted the anticipated hold period for such properties. The Company’s estimated fair values of these properties were primarily based upon estimated sales prices from signed contracts or letters of intent from third party offers. See Footnote 11 to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for fair value disclosure.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the retail sector in which the Company operates and if the effects of the pandemic are prolonged, it could have a significant adverse impact to the underlying industries of many of the Company’s tenants. Management cannot, at this point, estimate ultimate losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company will continue to monitor the economic, financial, and social conditions resulting from this pandemic and will assess its asset portfolio for any impairment indicators. If the Company has determined that any of its assets are impaired the Company would be required to take impairment charges, and such amounts could be material.

Lessee Leases

 

The Company currently leases real estate space under noncancelable operating lease agreements for ground leases and administrative office leases. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to 51.7 years, some of which include options to extend the terms for up to an additional 75 years. The Company does not include any of its renewal options in its lease terms for calculating its lease liability as the renewal options allow the Company to maintain operational flexibility, and the Company is not reasonably certain it will exercise these renewal options at this time. The weighted average remaining non-cancelable lease term for the Company’s operating leases was 20.9 years at June 30, 2020. The weighted average discount rate was 6.65% at June 30, 2020. The Company’s operating lease liabilities are determined based on the estimated present value of the Company’s minimum lease payments under its lease agreements. The discount rate used to determine the lease liabilities is based on the estimated incremental borrowing rate on a lease by lease basis. When calculating the incremental borrowing rates, the Company utilized data from (i) its recent debt issuances, (ii) publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics, (iii) observable mortgage rates and (iv) unlevered property yields and discount rates. The Company then applied adjustments to account for considerations related to term and security that may not be fully incorporated by the data sets.

Notes Payable

 

In February 2020, the Company obtained a new $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of banks, which replaced the Company’s existing $2.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. The Credit Facility is scheduled to expire in March 2024, with two additional six-month options to extend the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion, to March 2025. The Credit Facility, which accrues interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 77.5 basis points (1.18% as of June 30, 2020), can be increased to $2.75 billion through an accordion feature. The Credit Facility is a green credit facility tied to climate actions, as described in the agreement. Upon achieving such climate actions, the rate on the Credit Facility is reduced by 1 basis point. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) maximum indebtedness ratios and (ii) minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios. As of June 30, 2020, the Credit Facility had no outstanding balance and $0.3 million appropriated for letters of credit and the Company was in compliance with its covenants.

 

In April 2020, the Company entered into a new unsecured term loan credit facility with total outstanding borrowings of $590.0 million (the “Term Loan”) pursuant to a credit agreement with a group of banks. The Term Loan was scheduled to mature in April 2021, with a one-year extension option to extend the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion, to April 2022. The Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 140 basis points (1.65% as of June 30, 2020) or, at the Company’s option, a spread of 40 basis points to the base rate defined in the Term Loan, that in each case fluctuated in accordance with changes in the Company’s senior debt ratings. The Term Loan could be increased by an additional $750.0 million through an accordion feature. Pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan, the Company was subject to covenants that were substantially the same as those in the Credit Facility. The Company repaid $265.0 million of the outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan in June 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Term Loan had an outstanding balance of $325.0 million and the Company was in compliance with its covenants. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, the Term Loan was fully repaid and the facility was terminated.

 

In July 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million in unsecured notes (the “Green Bond”), which are scheduled to mature in October 2030 and accrue interest at a rate of 2.70% per annum. The net proceeds from this offering are allocated to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, recently completed, existing or future Eligible Green Projects, in alignment with the four core components of the Green Bond Principles, 2018 ("GBP") as administered by the International Capital Market Association. Eligible Green Projects include projects with disbursements made in the three years preceding the issue date of the notes.

 

On July 15, 2020, the Company announced the partial redemption of $200.0 million of its 3.20% senior unsecured notes outstanding, which mature in May 2021. These notes will be redeemed on July 30, 2020, and the Company will incur a prepayment charge of approximately $3.3 million resulting from the partial repayment. As of June 30, 2020, $484.9 million was outstanding on these notes.

 

Mortgages and Construction Loan Payable -

 

In August 2018, the Company closed on a construction loan commitment of $67.0 million relating to one development property. This loan commitment was scheduled to mature in August 2020, with six additional six-month options to extend the maturity date to August 2023 and bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 180 basis points. This construction loan was fully repaid in January 2020.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repaid $21.6 million of mortgage debt (including fair market value adjustment of $0.2 million) that encumbered two operating properties.

9. Noncontrolling Interests

 

      Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that the Company does not own in entities it consolidates as a result of having a controlling interest or determining that the Company was the primary beneficiary of a VIE in accordance with the provisions of the FASB’s Consolidation guidance.  The Company accounts and reports for noncontrolling interests in accordance with the Consolidation guidance and the Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance issued by the FASB. The Company identifies its noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company acquired its partners’ interests in two consolidated entities, in separate transactions, for an aggregate purchase price of $20.6 million. This transaction resulted in a net decrease in Noncontrolling interests of $1.3 million and a corresponding net increase in Paid-in capital of $19.3 million on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There are no remaining partners in one of these consolidated entities.

 

Included within noncontrolling interests are units that were determined to be contingently redeemable that are classified as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and presented in the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholder’s equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

10. Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)

 

Included within the Company’s consolidated operating properties at both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are 22 consolidated entities that are VIEs, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. These entities have been established to own and operate real estate property. The Company’s involvement with these entities is through its majority ownership and management of the properties. The entities were deemed VIEs primarily because the unrelated investors do not have substantive kick-out rights to remove the general or managing partner by a vote of a simple majority or less, and they do not have substantive participating rights. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as a result of its controlling financial interest. At June 30, 2020, total assets of these VIEs were $1.0 billion and total liabilities were $64.8 million. At December 31, 2019, total assets of these VIEs were $0.9 billion and total liabilities were $70.9 million.

 

The majority of the operations of these VIEs are funded with cash flows generated from the properties. The Company has not provided financial support to any of these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide, which consists primarily of funding any capital expenditures, including tenant improvements, which are deemed necessary to continue to operate the entity and any operating cash shortfalls that the entity may experience.

 

Additionally, included within the Company’s real estate development projects at December 31, 2019, is one consolidated entity that was a VIE, for which the Company was the primary beneficiary. This entity had been established to develop a real estate property to hold as a long-term investment. The Company’s involvement with this entity is through its majority ownership and management of the property. This entity was deemed a VIE primarily because the equity investments at risk were not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of this VIE as a result of its controlling financial interest. At December 31, 2019, total assets of this real estate development VIE were $346.9 million and total liabilities were $82.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 the Company purchased the partner’s noncontrolling interest and maintains full ownership of the entity. As a result, the entity is no longer a VIE.

 

All liabilities of these consolidated VIEs are non-recourse to the Company (“VIE Liabilities”). The assets of the unencumbered VIEs are not restricted for use to settle only the obligations of these VIEs. The remaining VIE assets are encumbered by third party non-recourse mortgage debt and a construction loan. The assets associated with these encumbered VIEs (“Restricted Assets”) are collateral under the respective mortgages and a construction loan and are therefore restricted and can only be used to settle the corresponding liabilities of the VIE. The table below summarizes the consolidated VIEs and the classification of the Restricted Assets and VIE Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows (dollars in millions):

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

11. Fair Value Measurements

 

All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management’s estimation, based upon an interpretation of available market information and valuation methodologies, reasonably approximate their fair values except those listed below, for which fair values are disclosed. The valuation method used to estimate fair value for fixed-rate and variable-rate debt is based on discounted cash flow analyses, with assumptions that include credit spreads, market yield curves, trading activity, loan amounts and debt maturities. The fair values for marketable securities are based on published values, securities dealers’ estimated market values or comparable market sales. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition.

 

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

 

The following are financial instruments for which the Company’s estimated fair value differs from the carrying value (in thousands):

The Company determined that the valuation of its Senior Unsecured Notes were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and its unsecured revolving credit facility and term loan were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value amounts classified as Level 2, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, were $4.7 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively. The estimated fair value amounts classified as Level 3, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, were $325.0 million and $199.9 million, respectively.

 

(2)

The Company determined that its valuation of its mortgages and construction loan were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. 

 

The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance, including available for sale securities. The Company currently does not have non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized impairment charges related to adjustments to property carrying values of $3.1 million and $21.6 million, respectively. The Company’s estimated fair values of these properties were primarily based upon estimated sales prices from signed contracts or letters of intent from third party offers. The Company does not have access to the unobservable inputs used to determine the estimated fair values of third party offers. Based on these inputs, the Company determined that its valuation of these investments was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. (See Footnote 3 to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding impairment charges).

12. Incentive Plans

 

In May 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Equity Participation Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which is a successor to the Restated Kimco Realty Corporation 2010 Equity Participation Plan that expired in March 2020.  The 2020 Plan provides for a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be reserved for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalents, stock payments and deferred stock awards.  At June 30, 2020, the Company had 10.0 million shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

 

The Company accounts for equity awards in accordance with FASB’s Compensation – Stock Compensation guidance which requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, restricted stock and performance shares, be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the service period based on their fair values. Fair value is determined, depending on the type of award, using either the Black-Scholes option pricing formula or the Monte Carlo method for performance shares, both of which are intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date. Fair value of restricted shares is calculated based on the price on the date of grant.

 

The Company recognized expenses associated with its equity awards of $11.5 million and $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $46.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock compensation granted under the Plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.1 years.

 $1.71  $0.20  $1.91  $0.45 

Diluted earnings per share

 $1.71  $0.20  $1.90  $0.44 

 

(1)The effect of the assumed conversion of certain convertible units had an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of Net income available to the Company’s common shareholders per share. Accordingly, the impact of such conversions has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share calculations. Additionally, there were 1.2 million and 1.3 million stock options that were not dilutive as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 2.5 million shares of restricted stock that were not dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

 

The Company's unvested restricted share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Principles of Consolidation -

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company. The Company’s subsidiaries include subsidiaries which are wholly-owned or which the Company has a controlling interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with the Consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “10-K”), as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, that would duplicate those included in the 10-K are not included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block]

Reclassifications - 

 

Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period’s presentation.  For comparative purposes, the Company reclassified (i) $9.4 million of Marketable securities from Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2019 and (ii) $0.1 million and $1.6 million of Gain on marketable securities, net from Other income, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Subsequent Events -

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in its condensed consolidated financial statements (See Footnotes 3, 8 and 16 to the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

New Accounting Pronouncements –

 

In April 2020, the FASB staff developed a question-and-answer document, Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, which focuses on the application of the lease guidance in Topic 842, Leases, and Topic 840, Leases (if Topic 842 has not yet been adopted) for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FASB staff has been made aware that, given the unprecedented and global nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it may be exceedingly challenging for entities to determine whether existing contracts provide enforceable rights and obligations for lease concessions and, if so, whether those concessions are consistent with the terms of the contract or are modifications to a contract. As such, an entity can elect not to evaluate whether certain relief provided by a lessor in response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a lease modification. An entity that makes this election can then elect to apply the modification guidance to that relief or account for the concession as if it were contemplated as part of the existing contract. This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. For example, this election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract.

 

Some concessions will provide a deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original contract. A deferral affects the timing of cash receipts, but the amount of the consideration is substantially the same as that required by the original contract. The FASB staff expects that there will be multiple ways to account for those deferrals, none of which the FASB staff believes are preferable to the others. Two of those methods are:

 

(i)

Account for the concessions as if no changes to the lease contract were made. Under that accounting, a lessor would increase its lease receivable, and a lessee would increase its accounts payable as receivables/payments accrue. In its income statement, a lessor would continue to recognize income, and a lessee would continue to recognize expense during the deferral period.

 

(ii)

Account for the deferred payments as variable lease payments.

 

The Company has elected to apply the modification relief as mentioned in (i) above to the lease concessions it has entered into during the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic as a lessor related to rental income recognized.

 

       The following table represents ASUs to the FASB’s ASC that, as of June 30, 2020, are not yet effective for the Company and for which the Company has not elected early adoption, where permitted:

The amendments clarify the interaction between the accounting for equity securities, equity method investments, and certain derivative instruments. This ASU, among other things, clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require a company to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under Topic 323 for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method.

January 1, 2021; Early adoption permitted

The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations.

 

The following ASUs to the FASB’s ASC have been adopted by the Company as of the date listed:

 

ASU

Description

Adoption Date

Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting

This ASU is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the US GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates.

This guidance is effective immediately, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022.

 

The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations.

 

ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments

This ASU improves and clarifies various financial instruments topics. The ASU includes seven different issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments to GAAP, intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications.

The amendment is divided into issues 1 to 7 with different effective dates.

The Company adopted issues 1-7 of this ASU, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations.

 

ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810) – Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities

The amendment to Topic 810 clarifies the following areas:

(i)   Applying the variable interest entity (VIE) guidance to private companies under common control, and

(ii)  Considering indirect interests held through related parties under common control, for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests.

 

This update improves the accounting for those areas, thereby improving general purpose financial reporting. Retrospective adoption is required.

 

January 1, 2020; Early adoption permitted

The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations

ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract

 

The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software.

January 1, 2020; Early adoption permitted

The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations

ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement

 

The amendment modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in Topic 820, based on the concepts in the FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting – Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, including the consideration of costs and benefits.

January 1, 2020; Early adoption permitted

The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and/or results of operations.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

 

ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

 

ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Targeted Transition Relief

 

ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

The new guidance introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses.

 

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which includes amendments to (i) clarify receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of the new leasing standard (Topic 842) discussed below and (ii) align the implementation date for nonpublic entities’ annual financial statements with the implementation date for their interim financial statements. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date.

 

In  May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which amends ASU 2016-13 to allow companies to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (i) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (ii) are within the scope of ASC 326-203 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10.4. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. These amendments should be applied on a modified-retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings balance in the statement of financial position as of the date that an entity adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13. Certain disclosures are required. The effective date will be the same as the effective date in ASU 2016-13. 

 

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, which clarifies treatment of certain credit losses and disclosure requirements.

 

January 1, 2020; Early adoption permitted

The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective method.

 

While the Company’s mortgages and other financing receivables are impacted by this ASU, the adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
