UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

, 200

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Kimco Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), or warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock Warrants”), or both, or shares of Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Preferred Shares”), from time to time, in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of sale. The Preferred Shares may be offered in the form of depositary shares (the “Depositary Shares”) represented by depositary receipts (the “Depositary Receipts”). The Common Stock Warrants will be issued pursuant to a Common Stock Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), between the Company and a warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”). Each series of Preferred Shares may vary as to the specific number of shares, title, stated value, liquidation preference, issuance price, ranking, dividend rate or rates (or method of calculation), dividend payment dates, any redemption or sinking fund requirements, any conversion provisions and any other variable terms as set forth in the applicable articles supplementary (each, the “Articles Supplementary”) relating to such Preferred Shares. As used herein, “Securities” shall mean the Common Stock, the Common Stock Warrants, the Preferred Shares, the Depositary Shares and the Depositary Receipts; and “Warrant Securities” shall mean the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Common Stock Warrants. As used herein, “you” and “your,” unless the context otherwise requires, shall mean the parties to whom this Agreement is addressed together with the other parties, if any, identified in the applicable Terms Agreement (as hereinafter defined) as additional co-managers with respect to Underwritten Securities (as hereinafter defined) purchased pursuant thereto.

Whenever the Company determines to make an offering of Securities through you or through an underwriting syndicate managed by you, the Company will enter into an agreement (the “Terms Agreement”) providing for the sale of such Securities (the “Underwritten Securities”) to, and the purchase and offering thereof by, you and such other underwriters, if any, selected by you as have authorized you to enter into such Terms Agreement on their behalf (the “Underwriters,” which term shall include you whether acting alone in the sale of the Underwritten Securities or as a member of an underwriting syndicate and any Underwriter substituted pursuant to Section 10 hereof). The Terms Agreement relating to the offering of Underwritten Securities shall specify the number of Underwritten Securities of each class or series to be initially issued, including the number of Common Stock Warrants, if any (the

“Initial Underwritten Securities”), whether the Initial Underwritten Securities shall be in the form of Depositary Shares and the fractional amount of Preferred Shares represented by each Depositary Share, the names of the Underwriters participating in such offering (subject to substitution as provided in Section 10 hereof), the number of Initial Underwritten Securities which each such Underwriter severally agrees to purchase, the names of such of you or such other Underwriters acting as co-managers, if any, in connection with such offering, the price at which the Initial Underwritten Securities are to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Company, the initial public offering price, if any, of the Initial Underwritten Securities, the Applicable Time (as defined below), any and all Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectuses (as defined below), the time, date and place of delivery and payment, any delayed delivery arrangements and any other variable terms of the Initial Underwritten Securities (including, but not limited to, current ratings (in the case of Preferred Shares and Depositary Shares only), designations, liquidation preferences, conversion provisions, redemption provisions and sinking fund requirements and the terms of the Warrant Securities and the terms, prices and dates upon which such Warrant Securities may be purchased). In addition, each Terms Agreement shall specify whether the Company has agreed to grant to the Underwriters an option to purchase additional Underwritten Securities to cover over-allotments, if any, and the number of Underwritten Securities subject to such option (the “Option Securities”). As used herein, the term “Underwritten Securities” shall include the Initial Underwritten Securities and all or any portion of the Option Securities agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters as provided herein, if any. The Terms Agreement, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, may take the form of an exchange of any standard form of written telecommunication between you and the Company. Each offering of Underwritten Securities through you or through an underwriting syndicate managed by you will be governed by this Agreement, as supplemented by the applicable Terms Agreement.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333- ), including the related preliminary prospectus, for the registration of the Securities and Warrant Securities and certain of the Company’s debt securities, which registration statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the rules and regulations of the Commission (the “1933 Act Regulations”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Promptly after execution and delivery of the applicable Terms Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus supplement relating to the Underwritten Securities in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) of the 1933 Act Regulations and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations. Any information included in such prospectus supplement that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of and included in such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B is referred to as “Rule 430B Information.” Each prospectus, if any, used in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities that omitted Rule 430B Information is herein called a “preliminary prospectus.” Such registration statement, at each time of effectiveness under the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations prior to the execution of the applicable Terms Agreement, including the amendments thereto to such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act at such time and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the 1933 Act Regulations, is herein called the

“Registration Statement”; provided, however, that the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include information contained in the final prospectus supplement relating to the Underwritten Securities that is retroactively deemed to be a part of such registration statement (as amended) as of the time specified in Rule 430B of the 1933 Act Regulations. The Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective is herein called the “Original Registration Statement.” The final prospectus and final prospectus supplement, in the form first furnished or made available to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities, including the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act at the time of the execution of the applicable Terms Agreement, is herein called the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“▇▇▇▇▇”).

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, after the most recent effective date prior to the execution of the applicable Terms Agreement, in the case of the Registration Statement, or the respective issue dates, in the case of the Prospectus and any preliminary prospectus.

Any offer that is a written communication relating to the Underwritten Securities made prior to the filing of the Original Registration Statement by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) has been filed with the Commission in accordance with the exemption provided by Rule 163 and otherwise complied with the requirements of Rule 163, including without limitation the legending requirement, to qualify such offer for the exemption from Section 5(c) of the 1933 Act provided by Rule 163.

At the respective times the Original Registration Statement and each amendment thereto became effective and at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations, the Registration Statement complied, complies and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, and did not, does not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(xxvii) Each of the partnership and joint venture agreements to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, and which relates to real property described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such applicable party and constitutes the valid agreement thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by (a) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors or (b) the effect of general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought, and the execution, delivery and performance of any of such agreements did not, at the time of execution and delivery, and does not constitute a breach of, or default under, the charter or bylaws of such party or any material contract, lease or other instrument to which such party is a party or by which its properties may be bound or any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court order or decree.

(xxviii) None of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries has any knowledge of (a) the unlawful presence of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic substances or waste materials (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) on any of the properties owned by it or the Related Entities, or (b) any unlawful spills, releases, discharges or disposal of Hazardous Materials that have occurred or are presently occurring off such properties as a result of any construction on or operation and use of such properties which presence or occurrence would have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or on the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise; and in connection with the construction on or operation and use of the properties owned by the Company, its subsidiaries and Related Entities, each of the Company and its subsidiaries represents that it has no knowledge of any material failure to comply with all applicable local, state and federal environmental laws, regulations, ordinances and administrative and judicial orders relating to the generation, recycling, reuse, sale, storage, handling, transport and disposal of any Hazardous Materials.

(xxix) The Company and each of its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (1) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (2) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain accountability for assets; (3) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (4) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Except as described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package, since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there has been (I) no material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and (II) no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries employ disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

(xxx) There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company or any of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply in all material respects with any provision of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act”), including Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications.

(xxxi) The Registration Statement is not the subject of a pending proceeding or examination under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the 1933 Act, and the Company is not the subject of a pending proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of the Securities.

(b) Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to you or to counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company to each Underwriter participating in such offering as to the matters covered thereby on the date of such certificate and, unless subsequently amended or supplemented, at each Representation Date subsequent thereto.

Section 2. Purchase and Sale. (a) The several commitments of the Underwriters to purchase the Underwritten Securities pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth.

(b) In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company may grant, if so provided in the applicable Terms Agreement relating to the Initial Underwritten Securities, an option to the Underwriters named in such Terms Agreement, severally and not jointly, to purchase up to the number of Option Securities set forth therein at a price per Option Security equal to the price per Initial Underwritten Security, less an amount equal to any dividends declared by the Company and paid or payable on the Initial Underwritten Securities but not on the Option Underwritten Securities. Such option, if granted, will expire 30 days (or such lesser number of days as may be specified in the applicable Terms Agreement) after the date of such Terms Agreement relating to the Initial Underwritten Securities, and may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time only for the purpose of covering over-allotments which may be made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Initial Underwritten Securities upon notice by you to the Company setting forth the number of Option Securities as to which the several Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time, date and place of payment and delivery for such Option Securities. Any such time and date of delivery (a “Date of Delivery”) shall be determined by you, but shall not be later than three full business days and not be earlier than two full business days after the exercise of said option, unless otherwise agreed upon by you and the Company. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Securities, each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total number of Option Securities then being purchased which the number of Initial Underwritten Securities each such Underwriter has severally agreed to purchase as set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement bears to the total number of Initial Underwritten Securities (except as otherwise provided in the applicable Terms Agreement), subject to such adjustments as you in your discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional Initial Underwritten Securities.

		(c) Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Underwritten Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters shall be made at the office of Sidley Austin LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by you and the Company, at 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the third business day (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10) following the date of the applicable Terms Agreement or, if pricing takes place after 4:30 P.M., New York City time, on the date of the applicable Terms Agreement, on the fourth business day (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10) following the date of the applicable Terms Agreement or at such other time as shall be agreed upon by you and the Company (each such time and date being referred to as a “Closing Time”). In addition, in the event that any or all of the Option Securities are purchased by the Underwriters, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates representing, such Option Securities, shall be made at the above-mentioned office of Sidley Austin LLP, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by you and the Company on each Date of Delivery as specified in the notice from you to the Company. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Terms Agreement, payment shall be made to the Company by wire transfer or certified or official bank check or checks in Federal or similar same-day funds payable to the order of the Company against delivery to you for the respective accounts of the Underwriters for the Underwritten Securities to be purchased by them. The Underwritten Securities or, if applicable, Depositary Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares, shall be in such authorized denominations and registered in such names as you may request in writing at least one business day prior to the applicable Closing Time or Date of Delivery, as the case may be. The Underwritten Securities, which may be in temporary form, will be made available for examination and packaging by you on or before the first business day prior to the Closing Time or the Date of Delivery, as the case may be.

		If authorized by the applicable Terms Agreement, the Underwriters named therein may solicit offers to purchase Underwritten Securities from the Company pursuant to delayed delivery contracts (“Delayed Delivery Contracts”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto with such changes therein as the Company may approve. As compensation for arranging Delayed Delivery Contracts, the Company will pay to you at Closing Time, for the respective accounts of the Underwriters, a fee specified in the applicable Terms Agreement for each of the Underwritten Securities for which Delayed Delivery Contracts are made at the Closing Time as is specified in the applicable Terms Agreement. Any Delayed Delivery Contracts are to be with institutional investors of the types described in the Prospectus. At the Closing Time, the Company will enter into Delayed Delivery Contracts (for not less than the minimum number of Underwritten Securities per Delayed Delivery Contract specified in the applicable Terms Agreement) with all purchasers proposed by the Underwriters and previously approved by the Company as provided below, but not for an aggregate number of Underwritten Securities in excess of that specified in the applicable Terms Agreement. The Underwriters will not have any responsibility for the validity or performance of Delayed Delivery Contracts.

You shall submit to the Company, at least two business days prior to the Closing Time, the names of any institutional investors with which it is proposed that the Company will enter into Delayed Delivery Contracts and the number of Underwritten Securities to be purchased by each of them, and the Company will advise you, at least two business days prior to the Closing Time, of the names of the institutions with which the making of Delayed Delivery Contracts is approved by the Company and the number of Underwritten Securities to be covered by each such Delayed Delivery Contract.

The number of Underwritten Securities agreed to be purchased by the several Underwriters pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement shall be reduced by the number of Underwritten Securities covered by Delayed Delivery Contracts, as to each Underwriter as set forth in a written notice delivered by you to the Company; provided, however, that the total number of Underwritten Securities to be purchased by all Underwriters shall be the total number of Underwritten Securities covered by the applicable Terms Agreement, less the number of Underwritten Securities covered by Delayed Delivery Contracts.

Section 3. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants with you, and with each Underwriter participating in the offering of Underwritten Securities, as follows:

(a) The Company, subject to Section 3(b), will comply with the requirements of Rule 430B and will notify you as soon as reasonably possible, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement relating to the Securities and the Warrant Securities shall become effective, or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or the filing of a new registration statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or for additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or such new registration statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Underwritten Securities or the Warrant Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the 1933 Act concerning the Registration Statement and (v) if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities or the Warrant Securities. The Company will effect the filings required under Rule 424(b), in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus. The Company will make reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof as soon as reasonably possible. The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Underwritten Securities and the Warrant Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) (i) of the 1933 Act Regulations without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the 1933 Act Regulations (including, if applicable, by updating the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in accordance with Rule 456(b)(1)(ii) either in a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or on the cover page of a prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)).

(b) The Company will give you notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement relating to the Securities or the Warrant Securities or any amendment or supplement to any preliminary prospectus (including any prospectus included in the Original Registration Statement or amendment thereto at the time it became effective) or to the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, and the Company will furnish you with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which you or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object. The Company will prepare a final term sheet (the “Final Term Sheet”) reflecting the final terms of the Underwritten Securities, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters and attached as an exhibit to the applicable Terms Agreement, and shall file such Final Term Sheet as an “issuer free writing prospectus” pursuant to Rule 433 prior to the close of business two business days after the date of such Terms Agreement.

(c) The Company has furnished or will deliver to you and counsel for the Underwriters, upon written request, signed copies of the Original Registration Statement as originally filed and any new registration statement containing the Prospectus and, in each case, any amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts, and will also deliver to you, upon written request, a conformed copy of the Original Registration Statement as originally filed and any new registration statement containing the Prospectus and, in each case, any amendment thereto (without exhibits) for each of the Underwriters. The copies of the Original Registration Statement and any new registration statement and, in each case, any amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(d) The Company will deliver to each Underwriter, upon written request, as many copies of each preliminary prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Underwriter reasonably requests, and the Company hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the 1933 Act. The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered (or but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations would be required to be delivered) under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of the Underwritten Securities, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as such Underwriter may reasonably request. Each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(e) The Company will comply with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Underwritten Securities as contemplated in this Agreement, the applicable Terms Agreement and in the Prospectus. If at any time when the Prospectus is required to be delivered (or but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations would be required to be delivered) under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of the Underwritten Securities, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or counsel for the Company, to amend the Registration Statement in order that the Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or amend or supplement the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package in order that or that the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, as the case may be, will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of either such counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement, to file a new registration statement or to amend or supplement the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(b) and Section 3(m), such amendment, supplement or new registration statement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to comply with such requirements, the Company will use its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement with respect to the Underwritten Securities) and the Company will furnish to the Underwriters such number of copies of such amendment, supplement or new registration statement as the Underwriters may reasonably request. If, prior to the completion of the public offer and sale of the Underwritten Securities (which completion you shall promptly communicate to the Company), at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information then contained in the Registration Statement (or any other registration statement relating to the Underwritten Securities) or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly (i) notify you and (ii) either (1) amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission or (2) file a report with the Commission under the 1934 Act that corrects such untrue statement or omission and notify you in writing that such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall no longer be used.

(f) The Company will endeavor, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Underwritten Securities, the Warrant Securities, if any, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or the Depositary Shares, if any, for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws and real estate syndication laws of such states and other jurisdictions of the United States as you may designate. In each jurisdiction in which the Underwritten Securities, the Warrant Securities, if any, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or the Depositary Shares, if any, have been so qualified, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification in effect for so long as may be required for the distribution of the Underwritten Securities and the Warrant Securities, if any; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified.

(g) The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable an earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 of the 1933 Act Regulations) for the purposes of, and to provide to the Underwriters the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.

(h) The Company will use its best efforts to meet the requirements to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code for the taxable year in which sales of the Underwritten Securities are to occur.

(i) The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered (or but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations would be required to be delivered) under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of the Underwritten Securities, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15 of the 1934 Act within the time period prescribed by the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.

(j) The Company will not, between the date of the applicable Terms Agreement and the Closing Time with respect to the Underwritten Securities covered thereby, without your prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, offer or sell, grant any option for the sale of, or enter into any agreement to sell, any Securities of the same class or series or ranking on a parity with such Underwritten Securities (other than the Underwritten Securities which are to be sold pursuant to such Terms Agreement) or, if such Terms Agreement relates to Underwritten Securities that are convertible into Common Stock, any Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock (except for Common Stock issued pursuant to reservations, agreements, employee benefit plans, dividend reinvestment plans, employee and director stock option plans or as partial or full payment for properties to be acquired by the Company), except as may be otherwise provided in the applicable Terms Agreement. You may release us from the obligations of this Section 3(j) in your sole discretion at any time without notice.

(k) If the Preferred Shares or Depositary Shares are convertible into shares of Common Stock or if Common Stock Warrants are issued, the Company will reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive or other similar rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Shares, as the case may be, for the purpose of enabling the Company to satisfy any obligations to issue such shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or the Depositary Shares, as the case may be, or upon exercise of the Common Stock Warrants.

(l) If the Underwritten Securities are Common Stock, Preferred Shares or Depositary Shares, the Company will use its best efforts to list such shares of Common Stock, Preferred Shares or Depositary Shares, as the case may be, on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or such other national securities exchange on which the Company’s shares of Common Stock are then listed. If the Preferred Shares or Depositary Shares are convertible into shares of Common Stock, the Company will use its best efforts to list the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or Depositary Shares on the New York Stock Exchange or such other national securities exchange on which the Company’s shares of Common Stock are then listed.

(m) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains your prior consent, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains your prior consent and the prior consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Underwritten Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and you is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to each and every Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping.

(n) The date of any agreement by an Underwriter to act as principal or agent in connection with the Underwritten Securities is not more than three years subsequent to the later of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement or December 1, 2005. If, immediately prior to the third anniversary of the later of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement or December 1, 2005, any of such Underwritten Securities remain unsold by the applicable Underwriter(s) and a prospectus is required to be delivered by such Underwriter(s) under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with the sale of such Underwritten Securities, the Company will prior to that third anniversary file, if it has not already done so, a new shelf registration statement relating to such Underwritten Securities, will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after that third anniversary, and will take all other reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of such Underwritten Securities to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to such Underwritten Securities. References herein to the “Registration Statement” shall include such new shelf registration statement.

Section 4. Payment of Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement, including (i) the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement as originally filed and any new registration statement containing the Prospectus and, in each case, any amendment thereto, (ii) the printing and filing of this Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement, (iii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Underwritten Securities, and the Warrant Securities, if any, to the Underwriters, (iv) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel and accountants, (v) the qualification of the Underwritten Securities, the Warrant Securities, if any, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or the Depositary Shares, if any, under securities laws and real estate syndication laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(f), including filing fees and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of the Blue Sky Survey and any supplement thereto, (vi) the printing and delivery to the Underwriters copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and any new registration statement containing the Prospectus, each preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and any costs associated with electronic delivery of any of the foregoing by the Underwriters to investors, (vii) the preparation, printing and delivery to the Underwriters of copies of the applicable Deposit Agreement, if any, and the applicable Warrant Agreement, if any, and any costs associated with electronic delivery of any of the foregoing by the Underwriters to investors, (viii) any fees charged by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations for the rating of the Underwritten Securities, (ix) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred with respect to the listing of the Underwritten Securities, the Warrant Securities, if any, or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or the Depositary Shares, if any, on any national securities exchange, (x) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred with respect to any filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and (xi) the fees and expenses of any transfer agent or registrar for the Underwritten Securities, and the Warrant Securities, if any.

If the applicable Terms Agreement is terminated by you in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 or Section 9(b)(i), the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters named in such Terms Agreement for all of their out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters.

Section 5. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations. The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase Underwritten Securities pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement are subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company’s officers made in any certificate pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of all of its covenants and other obligations hereunder, and to the following further conditions:

(1) The favorable opinion, dated as of Closing Time, of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters, to the effect that:

(i) If applicable, upon execution and delivery of the Depositary Receipts pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Agreement, the persons in whose names such Depositary Receipts are registered will be entitled to the rights specified therein and in the Deposit Agreement.

(ii) If applicable, the Common Stock Warrants will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits provided by the Warrant Agreement under which they are to be issued.

(iii) Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Warrant Agent, in the case of the Warrant Agreement, and the Depositary, in the case of the Deposit Agreement, the applicable Warrant Agreement, if any, and the applicable Deposit Agreement, if any, are each a legally valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(iv) The Registration Statement has become effective under the 1933 Act; and, with consent from the Underwriters and their counsel, and to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, based solely on a telephonic confirmation by a member of the Staff of the Commission, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings therefor have been initiated by the Commission.

(v) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as of their respective effective or issue dates, appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements for registration statements on Form S-3 under the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations. Such counsel need not express any opinion with respect to Regulation S-T or the financial statements, schedules or other financial data included therein, or incorporated by reference therein, or omitted therefrom. In passing upon compliance as to form of such documents, such counsel may assume that the statements made in the Registration and the Prospectus are correct and complete.

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission referred to in subsection (i) above, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company;

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by you), as incurred, which was reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, or any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement.

No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

Section 7. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 6 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the offering of the Underwritten Securities shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and one or more of the Underwriters in respect of such offering, as incurred, in such proportions that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount appearing on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement in respect of such offering bears to the initial public offering price appearing thereon and the Company is responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Underwritten Securities purchased by it pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses. The Underwriters’ obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 shall be several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.

For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the number of the Initial Underwritten Securities set forth opposite their respective names in the applicable Terms Agreement and not joint.

Section 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.

Section 9. Termination of Agreement. (a) This Agreement (excluding the applicable Terms Agreement) may be terminated for any reason at any time by the Company or by you upon the giving of 30 days’ written notice of such termination to the other party hereto.

(b) You may also terminate the applicable Terms Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the applicable Closing Time if (i) there has been, since the date of such Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or in the international financial markets or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis, the effect of which is such as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Underwritten Securities or enforce contracts for the sale of the Underwritten Securities, or (iii) trading in any of the securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on either the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other governmental authority, or if a general banking moratorium has been declared by Federal, New York or Maryland authorities, or (iv) there has occurred a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services, or (v) Preferred Shares or Depositary Shares are being offered and the rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization to any preferred stock of the Company, including such Preferred Shares or Depositary Shares, as the case may be, as of the date of the applicable Terms Agreement shall have been lowered or withdrawn since such date or if any such rating organization shall have publicly announced that it has any preferred stock of the Company under surveillance or review.
