(collectively, the “Underwriters” and each individually, an “Underwriter”) understand that Kimco North Trust III (the “Trust”), a trust benefiting Kimco Realty Corporation (“Kimco”), intends to create, issue and sell $150,000,000 principal amount of 5.99% Series 3 Notes due April 13, 2018 (the “Notes”) on the terms set out in Schedule A (the “Term Sheet”).  The Notes will be direct, unsubordinated unsecured obligations and will rank pari passu with all other present and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of the Trust.  The Notes are to be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Note Indenture”) dated April 21, 2005, as amended by a First Supplemental Indenture dated June 2, 2006, a Second Supplemental Indenture dated August 16, 2006 and a Third Supplemental Indenture to be dated as of the Closing Time, between the Trust and BNY Trust Company of Canada, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as the same may be further amended or supplemented, including pursuant to the Note Indenture Supplement (defined below).

Kimco has provided a full and unconditional guarantee pursuant to that certain guarantee dated April 21, 2005 (the “Guarantee”) of the obligations of the Trust under the Note Indenture and all notes issued thereunder, including for greater certainty, the Notes.  The Guarantee is a direct, unsubordinated unsecured obligation of Kimco and will rank pari passu with all other present and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of Kimco, including under the Kimco Indenture (as hereinafter defined).

Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Underwriters severally, and not jointly and severally, in the respective percentages set out in Section 16, offer to purchase, on a “bought deal” basis from the Trust at the Closing Time (as hereinafter defined), and, by its acceptance hereof, the Trust agrees to issue and sell at such time to the Underwriters, all but not less than all of the Notes in consideration for the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) plus accrued interest, if any, from April 13, 2010 to the date of delivery of the Notes.

In consideration of the agreement of the Underwriters to purchase the Notes hereunder and of the services rendered and to be rendered by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering (as hereinafter defined), including providing such financial advisory services relating to the Offering as the Trust and the Underwriters agree are appropriate in the circumstances, the Trust agrees to pay to RBC DS or as it may direct, on behalf of the Underwriters, a fee of 0.70% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes sold to Purchasers (the “Underwriters’ Fee”).  The Underwriters’ Fee will be paid to RBC DS, Scotia Capital and CIBC World Markets Inc. based on the percentages in Section 16 at the Closing Time (as hereinafter defined).

there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence, any event, action, state, condition or occurrence of national or international consequence, acts of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, or any law, action, regulation or other occurrence of any nature whatsoever which, in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriters, materially adversely affects or involves, or is expected to materially adversely affect or involve, financial markets generally or the business, affairs or operations of Kimco, or the marketability of the Notes; or

(iii)

any inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding is commenced or any order is issued under or pursuant to any law in Canada (except any such proceeding or order based solely upon the activities of the Underwriters), or there is any change of law or the interpretation or administration thereof, which operates to prevent or materially restrict the distribution of the Notes in any of the Qualifying Jurisdictions.

(b)

The Trust agrees that all terms and conditions in Section 10 shall be construed as conditions and complied with so far as they relate to acts to be performed or caused to be performed by it, that it will use its best efforts to cause such conditions to be complied with, and that any breach or failure by it to comply with any such conditions in any material respect shall entitle any of the Underwriters to terminate its obligations to purchase the Notes by notice to that effect given to the Trust at or prior to the Closing Time, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The Underwriters may waive, in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance with, any terms and conditions

- 10 -

without prejudice to their rights in respect of any other terms and conditions or any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that any such waiver or extension shall be binding upon the Underwriters only if such waiver or extension is in writing and signed by all of the Underwriters.

(c)

The rights of termination contained in Subsections 12(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) and 12(b) may be exercised by any of the Underwriters and are in addition to any other rights or remedies any of the Underwriters may have in respect of any default, act or failure to act or non-compliance by the Trust or Kimco in respect of any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise. A notice of termination given by an Underwriter under any of Subsections 12(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) and 12(b) shall not be binding upon any other Underwriter.

(d)

If the obligations of the Underwriters are terminated pursuant to this Section 12, there shall be no further liability on the part of the Underwriters to the Trust or of the Trust to the Underwriters except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under Sections 13, 14 and 15.

13.

Indemnity and Contribution by Kimco and Trust

(a)

In consideration for the Underwriters accepting the engagement (the “Engagement”) pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Trust and Kimco (the “Kimco Indemnifiers”) agrees to jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Underwriters, their officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates and each person who controls each of the Underwriters (the Underwriters and each such person being referred to as an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all direct losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several (including the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings or claims), and the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel that may be incurred (collectively, “Liabilities”) in advising with respect to and/or defending any claim that may be made against any Underwriter Indemnified Party, to which any Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under any statute or common law or otherwise insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise:

(i)

by reason of the Term Sheet or Investor Presentation containing a Misrepresentation relating to the Trust or Kimco (except a Misrepresentation relating solely to the Underwriter Indemnified Parties);

(ii)

by reason of any material breach by the Trust or Kimco of this Agreement; or

(iii)

by reason of or arising out of any breach or violation or alleged breach or violation by the Trust or Kimco or any of their respective employees, officers, directors, shareholders or agents of any applicable law or regulation that has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on this transaction.

(b)

The indemnity in Section 13(a) shall not apply to any Underwriter Indemnified Party to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable shall determine that the Liabilities, as to which indemnification is claimed, were caused by the negligence or results from wilful misconduct or bad faith, dishonesty or fraud of the Underwriter Indemnified Party.

(c)

If for any reason (other than as a result of Section 13(b) being applicable), the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to an Underwriter Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold such party harmless, then the Kimco Indemnifiers shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Underwriter Indemnified Party as a result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Kimco Indemnifiers on the one hand and the Underwriter Indemnified Party on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Kimco Indemnifiers and the Underwriter Indemnified Party, as well as any relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Kimco Indemnifiers shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Underwriter Indemnified Party as a result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability any excess of such amount over the amount of the Underwriters’ Fee received by the Underwriters hereunder.

(d)

The Kimco Indemnifiers agree that in case any legal proceeding shall be brought against the Kimco Indemnifiers and/or an Underwriter Indemnified Party by any governmental commission or regulatory authority or any stock exchange or other entity having regulatory authority, either domestic or foreign, if any Underwriter Indemnified Party shall be required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with, or by reason of the performance of professional services rendered to the Kimco Indemnifiers by the Underwriters, the Underwriters shall have the right to employ a separate counsel in connection therewith if the Underwriters, acting reasonably, determines that a conflict of interest exists or that it is likely that such conflict of interest will develop, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as well as the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Underwriters for time spent by its personnel in connection therewith) and out of pocket expenses incurred by an Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection therewith shall be paid by the Kimco Indemnifiers as they occur.

(e)

Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any legal proceeding against any Underwriter Indemnified Party or after receipt of notice of the commencement of any investigation, which is based, directly or indirectly, upon any matter in respect of which indemnification may be sought from the Kimco Indemnifiers, the Underwriters will notify the Kimco Indemnifiers in writing of the commencement thereof and, throughout the course thereof, will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Kimco Indemnifiers, will keep the Kimco Indemnifiers advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Kimco Indemnifiers all significant actions proposed. The Underwriters covenant and agree that they shall use their best efforts to cooperate fully with the Kimco Indemnifiers in the investigation and defence of any claim or potential claim and to use their best efforts to cause any other Underwriter Indemnified Party to also cooperate.

(f)

The indemnity and contribution obligations of the Kimco Indemnifiers are in addition to any liability which the Kimco Indemnifiers may otherwise have, extend upon the same terms and conditions to the other Underwriter Indemnified Parties and are, to the extent applicable, binding upon and enure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Kimco Indemnifiers, the Underwriters and any of the other Underwriter Indemnified Parties. The parties agree that the Underwriters hold all rights of the other Underwriter Indemnified Parties in trust for such Underwriter Indemnified Parties. The foregoing provisions will survive the completion of professional services rendered under the Engagement or any termination of the authorization given by this Agreement.
