four Closings, the Company will sell, convey, assign, transfer, and deliver, and
Buyer will purchase and acquire (and the Advancing Party shall advance

1,200,000 (but reduced by the number of Purchased Units purchased pursuant to
the first sentence of Section 2.1(a)) shares of Company Preferred Stock
(together with the Kimco Purchased Shares, the "Purchased Shares"). Each

Percentage (rounded to the nearest whole share of Company Preferred Stock) (the
"Kimco Purchased Shares").

(c) Upon the Buyer Reorganization which shall occur immediately after
the Reorganization, the Purchased Units will be transferred to the Company, the
existence of the Buyer will be terminated, and (x) the Advancing Party and Kimco
will be issued a number of shares of Company Preferred Stock equal to the number
of Purchased Units purchased on their behalf by Buyer and transferred as a

applicable, the relevant Purchase Price with respect to the number of
Preferred Units or shares of Company Preferred Stock to be purchased and sold at

conditions hereof, from time to time following the Initial Closing, the Company
shall have the right to require Buyer to purchase (and the Advancing Party
to advance sufficient funds for such purchase) from the Operating Partnership
additional Preferred Units and, from and after the

Reorganization, from the Company shares of Company Preferred Stock (the
"Subsequent Purchases"), the number of which Preferred Units or shares of
Company Preferred Stock shall be determined by the Company, provided, however,
that each Subsequent Purchase shall be made at the Per Unit Purchase Price or
Per Share Purchase Price, as the case may be, and shall consist of a sufficient
number of Preferred Units or shares of Company Preferred Stock, as the case may
be, so that the aggregate purchase price of the Subsequent Purchase (each a
"Subsequent Purchase Price") is greater than the Subsequent Funding Minimum,
and provided further that the Subsequent Purchase Price to be paid at any
Closing is not greater than the Remaining Equity Commitment immediately prior
to such Closing. Upon timely performance by Kimco under the Buyer/Kimco Share
Purchase Agreement, the number of Preferred Units or shares of Company
Preferred Stock to be purchased and sold at any Subsequent Purchase will be

required to purchase shares of Company Preferred Stock pursuant hereto so that
it shall have expended more than the Total Equity Commitment. Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, each Closing of a Subsequent Purchase shall be on
the Business Day specified by the Company in a written notice to Buyer,
provided that such written notice is given to Buyer at least fifteen (15)
Business Days prior to the Business Day specified in such notice of a proposed

to make one Subsequent Purchase from the Operating Partnership or Company of a
sufficient number of Preferred Units or shares of Company Preferred Stock, as

25, 1998, (or February 25, 1999, if the period for such exercise has been
extended as provided in the parenthetical above in this Section 2.4(b)), as the
case may be, or as soon thereafter as all conditions to Buyer's obligation to
effect any purchase hereunder of Preferred Units or Company Preferred Stock, as
the case may be, shall have been satisfied or waived; provided, however, that
Buyer shall in no event be obligated to effect such Subsequent Purchase prior to
October 25, 1998.

(c) At each Closing following the Initial Closing, prior to the Effective
Date of the Reorganization, Subsequent Purchases shall be of Preferred Units.
At the Effective Date of the Reorganization, Preferred Units held by the
Buyer and the Colorado Investor shall, subject to and in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Reorganization Documents, and by operation of the
Buyer Reorganization, be replaced by a like number of shares of Company
Preferred Stock registered as the Advancing Party may instruct in accordance
with the Reorganization Documents (and any shares attributable to Kimco
registered as Kimco directs). After the Effective Date of the Reorganization,
Subsequent Purchases shall be of Company Preferred Stock in sales by the Company

Reorganization, succeed to the rights and obligations of the Buyer as set forth
in Section 2.7 hereto.

individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

(e) Schedule 3.1(e)(i) sets forth the name of each Subsidiary of the
Company or the Operating Partnership (whether owned directly or indirectly

result in the Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.2 "Authority Relative to Agreements; Board Approval." (a) The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Amended Partnership Agreement, the Reorganization Documents,
the Buyer Reorganization Agreement, the Amended Company Declaration, the
Amended By-Laws and the issuance and delivery of shares of Company Common
Stock upon conversion of Preferred Units in accordance with the provisions
of the Amended Partnership Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by
all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and all necessary
partnership action on the part of the Operating Partnership and its partners
other than Buyer, subject only to the approval of the Amended Company
Declaration, the Amended By-Laws, the Reorganization, the Buyer Reorganization
and issuance of Company Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement and the
Reorganization Documents by the Company's shareholders at the Shareholders
Meeting. Any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Buyer or any of its
Affiliates shall be eligible to vote and shall be counted in any vote with
respect to an approval of the Company's shareholders as aforesaid. This
Agreement, the Amended Partnership Agreement, and the Buyer Reorganization
Agreement each has been duly executed and delivered by the Company for itself
and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws relating to
creditors' rights or general principles of equity. Upon execution by Buyer of
the Amended Partnership Agreement, the Amended Partnership Agreement will
constitute a legally binding obligation of the Operating Partnership and of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws relating
to creditors' rights or general principles of equity. Upon payment by Buyer of
the relevant Purchase Price (Units) at any Closing, Preferred Units will have
duly and validly been issued to Buyer in accordance with the terms of the
Amended Partnership Agreement.

(b) The Board of the Company has, as of the date hereof, (i) approved this
Agreement, the Amended Partnership Agreement, the Reorganization Documents,

enter into the Amended Partnership Agreement, and (iii) determined to recommend
that the stockholders of the Company vote in favor of and approve the

the Advancing Party of the Company Stock.

(c) The shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon redemption of the
Preferred Units for the Company Preferred Stock to be acquired pursuant to
this Agreement will, upon such issuance be duly and validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable. The shares of Company Preferred Stock to be acquired
pursuant to this Agreement upon issuance will have been duly authorized for
issuance, and upon issuance will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

(d) Neither the issue and sale of the Preferred Units hereunder, nor, upon
or after the Reorganization, the issue and sale and conversion of the Company
Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Amended Company Declaration, will
give any holder of Operating Units or stockholder of the Company the right to
demand payment for his shares under any applicable law.

Section 3.3 "Capital Stock and Units." (a) The Company is authorized on
the date hereof to issue an unlimited number of shares of Company Common Stock
par value $0.10 per share. As of the date hereof, there are 7,123,105 shares of
Company Common Stock issued and outstanding. All such issued and outstanding
shares of Company Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid,
nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. The Company has no outstanding
bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the
right to vote (or which are convertible into or exercisable for securities the
holders of which have the right to vote) with the stockholders of the Company on
any matter. Other than (i) Operating Partnership Units which may be redeemed by
the holders thereof for Company Common Stock or the cash equivalent thereof (at
the option of the Company), (ii) options for approximately 281,050 shares of
Company Common Stock subject to grant under the Company's 1997 Non-Employee

set forth in Schedule 3.3(a) to this Agreement, there are no existing options,
warrants, calls, subscriptions, convertible securities, or other rights,
agreements or commitments which obligate the Company to issue, transfer or sell
any shares of capital stock or other equity interests of the Company.

(b) As of the date hereof, 9,691,248 Operating Partnership Units of the
Operating Partnership are validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
nonassessable, of which 7,123,105 Operating Partnership Units are owned by the
Company (collectively, the "Company Units"). There are no other classes
of units, or any other form of limited partnership interest, of the Operating
Partnership issued or outstanding as of the date hereof. Except as set forth
in Schedule 3.3(b), and as contemplated herein, the Operating Partnership has
not issued or granted securities convertible into interests in the Operating
Partnership, and is not a party to any outstanding commitments of any kind
relating to, or any presently effective agreements or understandings with
respect to, interests in Operating Partnership, whether issued or unissued.

(c) Except for interests in the Subsidiaries of the Company and the
Operating Partnership, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries owns

in any corporation, partnership, joint venture, business, trust or entity (other
than investments in short-term investment securities).

Section 3.4 "No Conflicts; No Defaults, Required Filings and Consents."
Except as contemplated hereby, the execution and delivery by the Company of
this Agreement or the Reorganization Documents, the Buyer Reorganization
Agreement, or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, will not:

(a) conflict with or result in a breach of any provisions of the Company's
Declaration of Trust or By-laws of the Company, assuming, as to the
Reorganization, the approval of the holders of such number of shares of Company
Common Stock as shall constitute a majority of shares of Company Common Stock
outstanding and entitled to vote;

(b) result in a breach or violation of, a default under, or the triggering
of any payment or other obligations pursuant to, or accelerate vesting under,

foregoing, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

writ, decree or injunction applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries,
except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

(d) except as set forth in Schedule 3.4(d), violate or conflict with or
result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or any event
which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under,
or result in the termination or in a right of termination or cancellation of,
or accelerate the performance required by, or result in the creation of any Lien
upon any of the properties of the Company or its Subsidiaries under, or result
in being declared void, voidable or without further binding effect, any of the
terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of
trust or any license, franchise, permit, lease, contract, agreement or other
instrument, commitment or obligation to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is
a party, or by which the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their properties
is bound or affected, except for any of the foregoing matters which would not
reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a
Material Adverse Effect; or

(e) require any consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration,
filing or registration with, any Government Authority, other than any filings
required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and
state securities laws ("Blue Sky Laws") (collectively, the "Regulatory
Filings"), and any filings required to be made with the Secretary of State of
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Maryland State Department of Assessments and
Taxation, or any national securities exchange on which the Company Common Stock
is listed, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and will not violate or
conflict with any Rule or Regulation of any national securities exchange on
which the Company Common Stock is listed, including, without limitation, the New
York Stock Exchange, Inc. Without limiting the foregoing, no filing under

the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "HSR Act") is
required by virtue of 16.C.F.R., Parts 801 and 802.

Section 3.5 "Atlantic Tax Agreement." The Atlantic Tax Agreement, a true,
correct and complete copy of which is attached as Exhibit C hereto, is valid,
effective and binding on the parties thereto, subject to no defenses and no
default has occurred thereunder.

Section 3.6 "Atlantic Realty Trust." In reliance upon the Regulatory
Filings of Atlantic Realty Trust, the Company believes that Atlantic Realty
Trust has sufficient financial resources timely to meet its obligations under
the Tax Agreement and to the Company's knowledge, Atlantic Realty Trust has no
plans under which the net worth of Atlantic Realty Trust would be diminished to
an extent which would impair the ability of Atlantic Realty Trust to fulfill its
obligations under the Tax Agreement.

Section 3.7 "SEC and Other Documents, Financial Statements; Undisclosed
Liabilities." (a) The Company has delivered or made available to Buyer the
Company Proxy Statement, the registration statement of the Company filed in 1988
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in connection with the
Company's initial public offering of Company Common Stock, and all exhibits,
amendments and supplements thereto (collectively, the "Company Registration

its properties since the effective date of the Company Registration
Statement, which are set forth in Schedule 3.7(a), each in the form (including
exhibits and any amendments thereto) filed with the SEC (collectively, the
"Company Reports"). The Company Reports filed since May 31, 1996 and, to the
Company's knowledge, the Company Reports filed on or prior to May 31, 1996 were
filed with the SEC in a timely manner and constitute all forms, reports and
documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the
"Securities Laws"). As of their respective dates, the Company Reports filed
since May 31, 1996 and, to the Company's knowledge, the Company Reports filed on
or prior to May 31, 1996 (i) complied as to form in all material respects with
the applicable requirements of the Securities Laws and (ii) did not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. There is no
unresolved violation asserted by any Government Authority with respect to any of
the Company Reports filed since May 31, 1996 and, to the Company's knowledge,
the Company Reports filed on or prior to May 31, 1996.

(b) Each of the balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference
into the Company Reports filed since May 31, 1996 and, to the Company's
knowledge, the Company Reports filed on or prior to May 31, 1996 (including the
related notes and schedules) fairly presented the financial position of the
entity or entities to which it relates as of its date and each of the statements
of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows included in or
incorporated by reference into the Company Reports filed since May 31, 1996 and,
to the Company's knowledge, the Company Reports filed on or prior to May 31,
1996 (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presented the results of
operations, retained earnings or cash flows, as the case may be, of the entity
or entities to which it relates for the periods set forth

therein, in each case in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") consistently applied during the periods involved
except as may be noted therein and except, in, the case of the unaudited
statements, normal recurring year-end adjustments which would not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

(c) Except as and to the extent set forth in the Company Reports or any
Schedule hereto, to the Company's knowledge, none of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries has any Liabilities (nor do there exist any circumstances)
that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.8 "Litigation, Compliance With Law." (a) Except as disclosed in
Schedule 3.8(a), there are no Actions pending or, to the Company's knowledge,
threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, or which question the validity hereof or any action taken or to
be taken in connection herewith. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.8(a), there
are no continuing orders, injunctions or decrees of any Government Authority to
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of its
properties or assets are bound.

(b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.8(b) and except for the Tax Case, to
the Company's knowledge none of the Company or its Subsidiaries is in violation
of any current statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, decree or injunction of
any Government Authority or any body having jurisdiction over them or any of
their respective properties which, if enforced, would, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.9 "Absence of Certain Changes or Events." Except as disclosed in
the Company Reports filed with the SEC prior to the date hereof or in Schedule
3.9, since June 30, 1997, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has conducted
its business only in the ordinary course of such business and has not acquired
any real estate or entered into any financing arrangements in connection
therewith, and there has not been (a) any change, circumstance or event that the
Company reasonably expects, individually or in the aggregate, would result in a
Material Adverse Effect, (b) any declaration, setting aside or payment of any
dividend or other distribution with respect to the Company Common Stock, except
in accordance with Section 5.9, (c) any commitment, contractual obligation,
borrowing, capital expenditure or transaction (each, a "Commitment") entered
into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than Commitments which
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect, or (d) any change in the Company's accounting
principles, practices or methods which would, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.10 "Tax Matters; REIT and Partnership Status." (a) The Company
and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed with the appropriate taxing
authority all material Tax Returns required to be filed by it or has timely
requested extensions and any such request has been granted and has not expired.
Each such Tax Return is true, complete and correct in all material

respects and true, complete and correct copies of all Tax Returns as to which
the statute of limitations has not run have been delivered to Buyer. The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries has paid within the time and manner
prescribed by law all material Taxes that are due and payable. The Company and
each of its Subsidiaries has properly accrued all Taxes for such periods
subsequent to the periods covered by such Tax Returns as required by GAAP.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10(a), none of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (i) has executed or filed with the IRS or any other taxing
authority any agreement now in effect extending the period for assessment or
collection of any Tax, or (ii) is a party to any pending action or proceedings
by any taxing authority for assessment or collection of any Tax, and no claim
for assessment or collection of any Tax has been asserted against it and to the
Company's knowledge no basis exists for any such claim or assessment. No claim
has been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation
by that jurisdiction. There are no Tax liens upon the assets of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries other than liens for Taxes not yet due and payable.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10(a) there is no dispute or claim concerning
any Tax liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (i) claimed or
raised by any taxing authority in writing or (ii) as to which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries has knowledge. The Company has not received a Tax
ruling or entered into a closing agreement with any Tax authority that would
have a continuing Material Adverse Effect after the Closing Date. No event,
transaction, act or omission has occurred which will result in the Company
becoming liable to pay or to bear any Tax as a transferee, successor or
otherwise which is primarily or directly chargeable or attributable to any
other person, firm or company which has not been properly accrued as required
by GAAP. The Company and each Subsidiary have no Liability (whether by reason
of any indemnity, warranty, tax sharing agreement or otherwise) to any other
person in respect of any actual, contingent or deferred liability of such
person for Taxes. The Company and each Subsidiary have complied (and will
continue to comply) in all material respects with the provisions of the Code
relating to the payment and withholding of Taxes, including, without
limitation, the withholding and reporting requirements under Code Sections 1441
through 1464, 3401 through 3606, and 6041 and 6049, as well as similar
provisions under any other laws, and have, within the time and in the manner
prescribed by law, paid over to the proper governmental authorities all amounts
withheld from amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor,
creditor, stockholder, or other third party.

(b) The Company (i) has in its federal income tax return for its tax year
ended December 31, 1996 elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust
("REIT") within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code (the "Election"), (ii)
with the exception of the Tax Case, such Election has remained in effect and
will continue to remain in effect for each of the Company's taxable years,
(iii) with the exception of the Tax Case has complied and will comply, with all
applicable provisions of the Code relating to a REIT, for each of its taxable
years, (iv) with the exception of the Tax Case has operated, and intends to
continue to operate, in such a manner as to qualify as a REIT for each of its
taxable years, (v) has not taken or omitted to take any action which could be
expected to result in a challenge to its status as a REIT, and, except as set
forth in Schedule 3.10(b)(i), to the Company's knowledge, no such challenge is
pending or threatened, and (vi) will not be rendered unable to qualify as a REIT
for federal income tax purposes as a consequence of the transactions
contemplated hereby. As of the date hereof, (i) the Company is a
"domestically-controlled" REIT within the meaning of Code Section

897(h)(4)(B) and is not a "pension-held REIT" within the meaning of Section
856(h)(3)(D) of the Code, and (ii) to the Company's knowledge, all non-domestic
beneficial owners of Company Common Stock are set forth in Schedule
3.10(b)(ii). To the Company's knowledge, except as set forth in Schedule
3.10(b)(iii), no person or entity which would be treated as an "individual" for
purposes of Section 542(a)(2) of the Code (as modified by Section 856(h) of the
Code) owns or would be considered to own (taking into account the ownership
attribution rules under Section 544 of the Code, as modified by Section 856(h)
of the Code) in excess of 9.8% of the value of the outstanding equity interest
in the Company.

(c) Any amount or other entitlement that could be received (whether in cash
or property or the vesting of property) as a result of any of the transactions
contemplated hereby by any employee, officer, or director of the Company or the
Operating Partnership or any of their Affiliates who is a "disqualified
individual" (as such term is defined in proposed Treasury Regulation Section
1.280G-1) under any employment, severance or termination agreement, other
compensation arrangement or plan currently in effect would not be characterized
as an "excess parachute payment" (as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(1)
of the Code).

(d) The disallowance of a deduction under Section 162(m) of the Code for
employee remuneration will not apply to any amount paid or payable by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any contract, stock plan, program,
arrangement or understanding currently in effect.

(e) The Operating Partnership and each Subsidiary of the Company and the
Operating Partnership organized as a partnership (and any other Subsidiary
that files Tax Returns as a partnership for federal income tax purposes) has at
all times been and will continue to be classified as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes.

(f) To the extent required for the Company, Buyer or Kimco to maintain or
preserve its REIT status, all of the Operating Partnership's gross income,
including its proportionate share of the gross income of any partnership in
which it has an interest as a partner, is and will continue to be derived or
treated for federal income tax purposes as derived from the following sources:
(i) dividends; (ii) interest; (iii) rents from real property; (iv) gain from the
sale or other disposition of stock, securities, and real property (including
interests in real property and interests in mortgages on real property) which is
not stock in trade, inventory or other property held by the Operating
Partnership, or any partnership in which it holds an interest as a partner
primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of its trade or business.

(g) To the extent required for the Company, Buyer or Kimco to maintain or
preserve its REIT status, all leases entered into, or to be entered into by the
Operating Partnership, or any other partnership in which the Operating
Partnership is a partner, as well as any leases with respect to properties
acquired by the Operating Partnership, or any other partnerships in which the
Operating Partnership has a direct or indirect interest as a partner: (a) will
not provide for rents based on the net income or profits of any person; (b) will
not provide for the performance by such landlord of any services other than
those which are usually and customarily provided to tenants in connection with
occupancy only of rental property and are not services for the convenience of
individual tenants ("Qualified Services"); and (c) will not derive rental income

attributable to personal property in connection with a lease of real property
in excess of 10 percent of the total rent attributable to both the real and
personal property leased under such lease.

(h) To the extent necessary for the Company, Buyer or Kimco to maintain or
preserve its REIT status, any services which have been, are or will be rendered
to tenants of property which is owned, or for federal income tax purposes
is treated as owned, by the Operating Partnership, or any partnership in which
it holds an interest as a partner, are or will be Qualified Services.

(i) Any indebtedness with respect to the properties of the Operating
Partnership currently qualifies and will continue to qualify for the
exception from "acquisition indebtedness" set forth in Section 514(c)(9) of the
Code.

Section 3.11 "Compliance with Agreements." (a) With the exception of
matters for which the Company will be promptly indemnified by Atlantic Realty
Trust, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is, or at any Closing by
virtue of the transaction contemplated in or by reference in this Agreement
will be, in default under or in violation of any provision of its organization
documents (e.g., the Company Declaration of Trust, any Subsidiary's
declaration of trust or charter, the By-laws of the Company or any subsidiary,
the Partnership Agreement, the Amended Partnership Agreement, the partnership
agreement of any subsidiary, or equivalent documents), except for such defaults
or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have filed all material
reports, registrations and statements, together with any amendments required to
be made with respect thereto, that they were required to be with any
Government Authority and all other material reports and statements required to
be filed by them, including any report or statement required to be filed
pursuant to the laws, rules or regulations of the United States, and have paid
all fees or assessments due and payable in connection therewith, except for such
failures to file or pay which would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no
unresolved violation asserted by any regulatory agency of which the Company has
received written notice with respect to any report or statement relating to an
examination of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which, if resolved in a
manner unfavorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, would, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The Company Reports or Schedule 3.11(c) set forth (i) a description of
all material indebtedness of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, whether
unsecured, or secured or collateralized by mortgages, deeds of trust or other
security interests in the Company Properties or any other assets of the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries, or otherwise, and (ii) each Commitment
entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any guarantees
of any third party's debt or any obligations in respect of letters of credit
issued for the Company's or any Subsidiary's account) which may result in total
payments or liability in excess of $500,000, excluding Commitments made in the
ordinary course of business with a maturity of less than one year or that are
terminable on 30 days or less notice, and excluding

Commitments the breach of which would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. True and
complete copies of the foregoing have been delivered or made available to
Buyer. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default, and, to
the Company's knowledge, no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice
or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, under any of the
documents described in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph or in respect of
any payment obligations thereunder except as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All
joint venture and partnership agreements to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party as of the date hereof are set forth in Schedule
3.11(c), all of which are in full force and effect as against the Company or
such Subsidiary and, to the Company's knowledge, as against the other parties
thereto, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is in default, and,
to the Company's knowledge, no event has occurred which, with the giving of
notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, with respect
to any obligations thereunder, except as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.11(c), to the Company's knowledge, the other
parties to such agreements are not in breach of any of their respective
obligations thereunder, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the
Company's knowledge, there is no condition with respect to the Company's
Subsidiaries (including with respect to the partnership agreements for the
Company's Subsidiaries that are partnerships) that would, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Except as disclosed in the Company Reports or any other Schedule hereto
and except for (i) agreements made in the ordinary course of business and (ii)
agreements the breach or non-fulfillment of which would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
Schedule 3.11(d) sets forth a complete and accurate list of all material
agreements entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date
hereof relating to the development or construction of, additions or expansions
to, or management or leasing services for retail properties or other real
properties which are currently in effect and under which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries currently has, or expects to incur, any material obligation. A
true and complete copy of each such agreement has been delivered to Buyer.

(e) Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.11(e) and in the Company Reports and
except for (i) agreements made in the ordinary course of business and (ii)
agreements the breach or non-fulfillment of which would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
Schedule 3.11(e) sets forth a complete and accurate list of all material
agreements entered into by the Company as of the date hereof which are not
listed in any other Schedule hereto, including the material Debt Instruments.
Each agreement set forth in Schedule 3.11(e) is in full force and effect as
against the Company and, to the Company's knowledge, as against the other
parties thereto, no payments, if any, thereunder are delinquent, and no notice
of default thereunder has been sent or received by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, except where the same would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There does not
exist under any agreement set forth in Schedule 3.11(e) any default, and, to the
Company's knowledge, no event has occurred

which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default,
except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect. A true and complete copy of each such
agreement has been delivered to Buyer.

(f) Schedule 3.11(f) sets forth a complete and accurate list of all
agreements and policies of the Company in effect on the date hereof relating to

than a 100% interest, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has granted

Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than in the ordinary course of conduct
of the Company's business.

to all the personal and non-real properties and assets reflected in their books
and records as being owned by them (including those reflected in the balance
sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997, except as since

Section 3.14 "Environmental Matters." (a) To the Company's knowledge, each
of the Company and its Subsidiaries has obtained, and now maintains as currently
valid and effective, all material permits required of it under the Environmental
Laws (the "Environmental Permits") in connection with the existing operation of
its businesses and properties, all of which are listed in Schedule 3.14(a)(i).
To the Company's knowledge, except as disclosed in the Executive Summaries of
the Company Environmental Reports or in Schedule 3.14(a)(i), each of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, and each Company Property is in compliance with
all terms and conditions of the Environmental Permits and all Environmental

which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) matters relating to the spill of
gasoline at the site of the Shell Food Mart (the "Shell Site") at Jackson
Crossing Shopping Center in Jackson, Michigan. The Shell Site was the scene of
two gasoline spills as described in the Phase I Environmental Assessment for
the Jackson Crossing Shopping Centers, prepared for Ramco Gershenson, Inc. and
RPS Realty Trust by McLaren/Hart Engineers Midwest, Inc., Project No.
07.0803063.001, February 6, 1995, a portion of which is attached hereto in

owner of the Shell Site have executed agreements containing indemnification
provisions in favor of the Company which are attached in Schedule 3.14(a)(ii)
(such agreements being in full force and effect). To the Company's knowledge,
consultants have been retained by the operator with regard to efforts to
remediate the Shell Site. Remedial action has been initiated by the operator.
A property owner adjacent to the Shell Site has initiated litigation against
the Company, the Shell Site operator and the prior owner with regard to the
effect of the spills on the adjacent property. That matter is pending. Except
as described above, the Company has no knowledge of any circumstances that may
prevent or interfere with such compliance in the future.

noncompliance of any of the Company Properties with any Environmental Laws or
Environmental Permits or (y) alleged or suspected liability of the Company or
its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law. No such noncompliance or
liability would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

been taken or are in process concerning Environmental Claims which are
reasonably likely to subject any Company Property to environmental liens or
other environmental related encumbrances.

respect to the operations or the businesses of the Company or its Subsidiaries,
or with respect to the Company Properties, has been asserted or, to the
Company's knowledge, threatened, and remains outstanding and, to the Company's
knowledge, no circumstances exist with respect to the Company or its
Subsidiaries or the Company Properties that would reasonably be expected to
result in any Environmental Claim being asserted, in any such case, against (i)
the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (ii) to the Company's knowledge, any person
whose liability for any Environmental Claims the Company or its Subsidiaries has
or may have retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law,

laws, (ii) to the Company's knowledge, no Materials of Environmental Concern
(other than materials which are not introduced into the locale by or as a
result of human intervention) are present on, in or under any Company Property
in a manner or condition that is reasonably likely to give rise to an
Environmental Claim which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) to the Company's
knowledge, none of the Company or its Subsidiaries has Released or arranged for
the Release of any Materials of Environmental Concern at any location to an
extent or in a manner which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably

action on the part of Buyer. MSAM is duly authorized to enter into and perform
this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Buyer/Colorado Sharing
Agreement, the Buyer Reorganization Agreement and the Buyer/Kimco Share Purchase
Agreement, on behalf of itself and the Advancing Party. This Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered by each of Buyer and MSAM on behalf of the Advancing
Party and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligations of Buyer and the
Advancing Party, enforceable against Buyer or the Advancing Party, as the case
may be, in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws relating to creditors' rights or
general principles of equity.

Section 4.3 "Conflicting Agreements and Other Matters." Neither the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Buyer/Colorado Sharing Agreement, the Buyer Reorganization Agreement and
the Buyer/Kimco Share Purchase Agreement nor the performance by Buyer or MSAM on
behalf of the Advancing Party, as the case may be, of its obligations hereunder
will conflict with, result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions
of, constitute a default under, or require any consent, approval or other action
by or any notice to or filing with any Government Authority pursuant to, the
organizational documents or agreements of Buyer, MSAM or any member of the
Advancing Party, as the case may be, or any agreement, instrument, order,
judgment, decree, statute, law, rule or regulation by which Buyer or MSAM, as
the case may be, is bound, except for filings with Governmental Authorities
which have been accomplished and after any Closing to the extent required under
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

Section 4.4 "Acquisition for Investment, Sophistication, Source of Funds."
(a) Buyer is acquiring the Preferred Units being purchased by it, including
those purchased on behalf of the Colorado Investor and MSAM, on behalf of
the Advancing Party, and Kimco will be acquiring the Company Preferred Stock
being received in the Buyer Reorganization or purchased by it, in each case, for
its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for sale
in connection with any distribution thereof. Neither Buyer, MSAM, the Advancing
Party nor Kimco has a present intention or plan to effect any distribution of
Preferred Units or shares of Company Preferred Stock, provided that the
disposition of Preferred Units and Company Common Stock owned by Buyer and MSAM
on behalf of the Advancing Party, the

Colorado Investor and Kimco shall at all times be and remain within its
respective control, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement. Buyer, Kimco and the Advancing Party are each
able to bear the economic risk of the acquisition of Preferred Units and
Company Preferred Stock pursuant hereto and can afford to sustain a total loss
on such investment, and MSAM, on its own behalf and on that of Buyer and the
other persons included in the Advancing Party and Kimco has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the proposed investment, and therefore has the capacity
to protect the interests of Buyer, the Advancing Party and Kimco in connection
with the acquisition of Preferred Units and Company Preferred Stock pursuant
hereto.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1, at the Initial Closing and
at each subsequent Closing, the Advancing Party, shall have available and
advance to Buyer all of the funds necessary to satisfy Buyer's obligations
hereunder and to pay any related fees and expenses in connection with the
foregoing.

Section 4.5 "Proxy Statement." None of the information supplied or to be
supplied by Buyer and MSAM on behalf of itself and the Advancing Party for
inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, as of the
date the Proxy Statement is first mailed to the shareholders of the Company
and as of the time of the meeting of the shareholders of the Company in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Section 4.6 "Brokers or Finders." No agent, broker, investment banker or
other firm or person, including any of the foregoing that is an Affiliate of
Buyer or the Advancing Party, is or will be entitled to any broker's or finder's
fee or any other commission or similar fee from Buyer or the Advancing Party in
connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby
for which the Company will be responsible.

Section 4.7 "Buyer Reorganization." The Buyer Reorganization will not
cause the Company to incur any Liabilities, except that transactional costs
relating to the Buyer Reorganization paid or incurred by the Company or its
Operating Partnership will be for the account of the Company.

of the Company that the shareholders of the Company vote in favor of and approve
the Reorganization, the Buyer Reorganization, the Amended Company Declaration,
the issuance of Company Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement, the

time as the Company's shareholders shall approve such matters as contemplated

"Reorganization Escrow," which term shall include any written agreement or
condition as to such arrangement, and provided that true, correct and complete
copies of the same shall have been delivered at the Initial Closing). If, prior
to the consummation of the Reorganization and the Buyer Reorganization, it is
determined that there is a more advantageous method of structuring the
Reorganization and the Buyer Reorganization in order to achieve the intended tax
free treatment of the Reorganization and the Buyer Reorganization, the parties

to zero) the Company will, except as otherwise

hereby, conduct the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and engage in

ARTICLE 6

Certain Additional Covenants

Section 6.1 "Resale." Buyer, the Advancing Party and Kimco each

Purchase will not, as of the relevant Closing thereof, be registered under

requirements of the Securities Act and, where applicable, such state securities
laws is available.

Section 6.2 "Use of Funds." The Company shall use the funds received from
the Units Purchases and Stock Purchases for the repayment of existing or future
indebtedness (of either the Company or the Operating Partnership), or the

require that any Subsequent Purchase be effected to directly or indirectly
replenish funds used to effect purchases of Company Stock.

any limitations that may be imposed by virtue of the Tax Case, and so long as
Buyer, Kimco or the Advancing Party owns 2% or more of the outstanding Company
Stock, the Company will elect to be taxed as a REIT in its federal income tax
returns, will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the
Code relating to a REIT, and will not take any action or fail to take any
action which could reasonably be expected to, alone or in conjunction with any
other factors, result in the loss of its status as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes.

Company's shareholders at the Shareholders Meeting, as aforesaid, the Amended
Company Declaration will have been duly executed and recorded such that it is

Company Preferred Stock are outstanding, Advancing Party shall have the rights
set forth in this Section 6.8 as if it was the holder of record and
beneficially of all such outstanding Preferred Units or shares of Company
Preferred Stock. The rights set forth herein are in favor of Advancing Party
and its successors and assigns, provided that any exercise procedures to be
accomplished hereunder shall

be performed by the Advancing Party or its nominee and no other person may
accomplish such procedures or seek to exercise the preemptive right set forth
in this Section 6.8. Absent an express assignment of the rights of Advancing
Party under this Section 6.8, no transfer by Buyer or the Advancing Party of
shares of Company Preferred Stock shall affect the rights of Buyer hereunder.

(b) Advancing Party shall have, as if it were the holder of each and every
of the issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Units or shares of Company
Preferred Stock, at any time and from time to time, the preemptive right to
purchase, in the case of the proposed issuance (other than Permitted Issuances)
by the Company of, or the proposed granting by the Company of shares of, any
class of Company Stock, or any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any
options for the purchase of, Company Stock or any stock or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Company Stock (including, without
limitation, interests in the Operating Partnership) (such rights or options
being hereinafter referred to as "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable
stock or securities being hereinafter referred to as "Convertible Securities").
On each occasion that the Company proposes to issue Company Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities, or any of the foregoing (including, without limitation,
upon the Qualified Underwritten Offering, the conclusion of which will conclude
the preemptive right of the Advancing Party), the Company shall give to Buyer or
Advancing Party prior written notice (the "Company Notice") of its intention, by
first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed at its last address as shown by the
records of the Company describing the same, the price and the specific terms (or
in the context of an offering of Company Stock, Convertible Securities or
Options to the public, a range of price and terms) upon which the Company
proposes to issue the same. Buyer or Advancing Party shall have 15 Business
Days from the date of the receipt by Buyer of the Company Notice to deliver a
notice (the "Rights Exercise Notice") notifying the Company of Buyer's or
Advancing Party's intention to purchase all or a part of its pro rata share of
shares or other securities represented by Company Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, or any of the foregoing, in accordance herewith, for the price and
upon the terms specified by the Company Notice, such pro rata share to be 19.4%
(or such lesser percentage as may reflect the beneficial ownership of Buyer and
the Colorado Investor of the Company's Common Stock if Buyer defaults or elects
not to purchase any securities hereunder but in the absence of such default or
election, assuming until September 1998, or, if a Final Determination has not
been made with respect to the Tax Case by October 25, 1998, then until February
25, 1999, that Buyer has purchased as at the date hereof all 1,200,000 shares of
Company Preferred Stock the sale and purchase of which is the object of this
Agreement, and assuming thereafter that Buyer is the holder of each and every
outstanding share of Company Preferred Stock) of such shares or securities or
Company Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, or any of the foregoing, and
at a price or prices no less favorable to Buyer or Advancing Party than the
price or prices at which such Company Stock, Convertible Securities or Options
are proposed to be offered for sale to others, less, in the event of any sale
other than a public offering, the per unit amount of any placement fees or
commissions, and in the event of the Qualified Underwritten Offering, less the
per share portion of underwriters' fees, commissions and discounts, and
provided, however, that the purchase of such Company Stock, Convertible
Securities or Options shall be consummated prior to the later of (i) 30 days
after the date of the Rights Exercise Notice and (ii) the date that the Company
consummates the issuance of the Company Stock, Convertible Securities or Options
described in the Company Notice. If, in connection with any proposed

issue of Company Stock, Convertible Securities or Options, the Buyer or
Advancing Party fails to exercise in full its preemptive right as set forth in
this Section 6.8 then, subject to the next following sentence, the Company may
sell the unsold Company Stock, Convertible Securities or Options at any time
within 180 days (60 days in the case of a public offering) thereafter at a
price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified
in the Company Notice; provided, that the Company shall not sell or grant, or
permit conversion under, any Capital Stock, Convertible Securities or Options,
or any of the foregoing, after such 180-day period (or 60-day period in the
case of a public offering) without renewed compliance with this Section;
provided, further, that in the case of a widely distributed underwritten public
offering of Company Stock, Convertible Securities or Options, if in the opinion
of the Company and the underwriter, such renewed compliance by the Company with
the procedural requirements hereunder (i.e., timing of notices, etc.) would
otherwise impede the consummation of such public offering, the parties agree to
take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate such
offering while preserving Buyer's or Advancing Party's substantive preemptive
right hereunder.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall not apply to any shares of any
class of the Company Stock or Options or Convertible Securities, or any of them,
(i) issuable upon redemption of Preferred Units, conversion of any Company
Preferred Stock; (ii) issuable upon conversion of Convertible Securities or
the exercise of Options, or both, if Buyer or Advancing Party was offered the
opportunity to purchase such shares or securities, or Convertible Securities
or Options, or both, pursuant to this Section 6.8, and declined the same, or as
to which Buyer or Advancing Party was not given such opportunity by reason of
the application of this Section 6.8; (iii) issuable in connection with stock
splits, stock dividends or recapitalizations as to the effects of which
adjustment will be made as provided elsewhere herein, in the Amended Partnership
Agreement pertaining to the Preferred Units, or in the Amended Company
Declaration pertaining to the Company Preferred Stock; or (iv) issuable to
employees and prospective employees pursuant to any plan or pattern of employee
equity participation set forth in Schedule 3.3(a).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that on the date of
or following the Reorganization, Buyer is prevented or prohibited from the
exercise in full or in part of its preemptive right to purchase any Securities
due to restrictions on the ownership by Buyer (or any group of holders with
which such Buyer may be affiliated or may be deemed to be affiliated) of
any such Securities, whether under applicable Maryland law, provisions of the
Declaration of Trust, any amendment thereto or by-laws, or by reason of
restrictions applicable for purposes of the Company's continued qualification as
a REIT for purposes of the Code (the "Exercise Restriction"), such number of
Securities required to be purchased pursuant to such preemptive right shall
automatically be reduced to such amount as to not exceed the Exercise
Restriction, and Buyer from time to time thereafter may exercise such right up
to an aggregate number of Securities as is equal to such reduction, subject
always to the restrictions as aforesaid.

Section 6.9 "Qualified Underwritten Offering." Upon the sale by the
Company of Company Common Stock pursuant to a Qualified Underwritten
Offering, Buyer shall purchase $9,700,000 of Company Common Stock in a
concurrent offering at the price to the public less the underwriters' fees,
commissions discounts per share. In addition, Buyer shall have the right

to purchase 19.4% of the amount of a Qualified Underwritten Offering in excess
of $40,300,000.

Section 6.10 "Amended Partnership Agreement (Consolidated and Conformed
Text)" Within five Business Days of the date hereof the Consolidated and
Conformed Agreement of Limited Partnership of Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P.
shall be in final form which final form shall be reasonably satisfactory to
Buyer.

Section 6.11 "Voting Amendments." If, at any time prior to the
Reorganization, Buyer or the Advancing Party, as the case may be, so requests,
the Company will, use its best efforts to take all such actions as may be
necessary to amend the Maryland Trust's declaration of trust or adopt articles
supplementary, in either case (a) to create a new non-voting class of stock
for which Buyer or the Advancing Party shall be entitled to exchange on a share
for share basis such number of shares of its Company Stock as it may deem
necessary or advisable so as not to be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Company
or (b) to otherwise restrict Buyer's or the Advancing Party's voting rights with
respect to such percentage of its Company Stock holding so as not to be deemed
to be an Affiliate of the Company.

Partnership to be performed on or before the date of the Initial Closing in
accordance with this Agreement shall have been duly performed in all respects,
other than (except for the Company's obligation to deliver the Preferred Units
at the Initial Closing, and for the covenants set forth in Sections 5.2, 5.3,
5.4, 5.5, and 6.5, as to which the proviso set forth in this other than clause
shall not apply) for such failures to have been performed as would not in the
aggregate reasonably be expected to have

a Material Adverse Effect (provided, however, that if any such covenant or
agreement is already qualified in any respect by materiality or as to Material
Adverse Effect for purposes of determining whether this condition has been
satisfied, such materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualification will be in
all respects ignored and such covenant or agreement shall have been performed
in all respects without regard to such qualification (but subject to the
overall exception as to Material Adverse Effect set forth immediately prior to
this proviso)). The Company shall have delivered to Buyer at the Initial
Closing and each Closing subsequent to the Initial Closing a certificate of an
appropriate officer in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer
dated the date of such Closing to such effect.

Properties Trust by way of the Reorganization, substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit P (the "Amended By-Laws") shall have been agreed to between
the Company and Buyer and placed in the Reorganization Escrow, in form so as to

shall have been executed and delivered by the Company and placed in the

necessary for the accomplishment of the Buyer Reorganization, so that the Buyer

shall have been executed and delivered by the Company and be in full force and
effect.

transactions contemplated hereby under the HSR Act shall have expired or been
terminated, and no action shall have been instituted by the United States
Department of Justice or the United States Federal Trade Commission challenging
or seeking to enjoin the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
which action shall not have been withdrawn or terminated,

Buyer to purchase and pay for the Purchased Units, or the obligation of the
Advancing Party or Kimco to purchase and pay (except at the Closing on or after
the Effective Date of the Buyer Reorganization pursuant to the Buyer
Reorganization Agreement, at which purchase and payment shall be the surrender
of Preferred Units in return for certificates representing shares of Company
Preferred Stock as provided in the Buyer Reorganization Agreement) for the
Purchased Shares, as the case may be, at each Closing (including the Initial
Closing) are subject to satisfaction or waiver of each of the following
conditions precedent:

(a) "Representations and Warranties; Covenants." The representations and
warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall have been true and
correct in all respects on and as of the date hereof, and shall be true and
correct in all respects on and as of the relevant Closing Date with the same
effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of
the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a
specific date or time other than such Closing Date (which need only be true and
correct in all respects as of such date or time)), other than, in all such
cases, such failures to be true and/or correct as would not in the aggregate
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and other than as to
those representations and warranties which are, in the ordinary course of
business, expected to be true only on and as of the date hereof, which, with
respect to any Subsequent Purchase Date will not be deemed to be in breach to
the extent that there exist thereunder any changes which are not of a material
nature; provided, however, that if any of the representations and warranties is
already qualified in any respect by materiality or as to Material Adverse Effect
for purposes of this Section 7.2(a) such materiality or Material Adverse Effect
qualification will be in all respects ignored (but subject to the overall

proviso). The covenants and agreements of the Company to be performed on or
before the relevant Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement shall have
been duly performed in all respects, other than (except for the Company's
obligation to deliver the relevant Preferred Units or shares of Company
Preferred Stock at the relevant Closing, as to which the proviso set forth in
this other-than clause shall not apply) for such failures to have been performed
as would not in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect (provided, however, that if any such covenant or agreement is already
qualified in any respect by materiality or as to Material Adverse Effect for
purposes of determining whether this condition has been satisfied, such
materiality or Material Adverse Effect or qualification will be in all respects
ignored and such covenant or agreement shall have been performed in all respects
without regard to such qualification (but subject to the overall exception as to
Material Adverse Effect set forth immediately prior to this proviso)). As to
each

Closing other than the Initial Closing, no condition to the obligations of
Buyer to purchase and pay for the Purchased Units at the Initial Closing that
was waived at the Initial Closing, but is not duly waived by Buyer at such
other Closing shall fail to be satisfied as of such other Closing. The Company
shall have delivered to Buyer at the relevant Closing a certificate of an
appropriate officer in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer
dated the relevant Closing Date to such effect.

(b) "No Material Adverse Change." Since the date hereof, there shall not
have been any change, circumstance or event which has had or would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

the Company or the Operating Partnership to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby or to issue the Purchased Units or the Purchased Shares, or
to consummate the Reorganization or the Buyer Reorganization.

(d) "Proceedings." All proceedings to be taken by the Company in

it to be taxed as a REIT. The Company shall not have taken any action or have
failed to take any action which could reasonably be expected to, alone or in
conjunction with any other factors, result in the loss of its status as a REIT
for federal income tax purposes.

(f) "Opinion of Counsel." Buyer shall have received an opinion from
Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Buyer, which, as to Maryland law, may rely on Ballard Spahr Andrews &
Ingersoll and which as to Massachusetts law may rely on Goodwin, Procter & Hoar
LLP.

(g) "Certain Conditions Still True." The conditions precedent set forth
in Section 7.1 shall continue to be satisfied or waived in all respects on and
as of each relevant Closing Date.

(h) "Miscellaneous" The Company shall have provided such additional
opinions, consents, agreements, certificates and other instruments as Buyer,
or its counsel may reasonably require.

Section 7.3 "Conditions of Sale." The obligation of the Operating
Partnership and the Company, as the case may be, to issue and sell any
Purchased Units or Purchased Shares at any

Closing (including the Initial Closing) is subject to satisfaction or waiver of
each of the following conditions precedent:

warranties of Buyer and the Advancing Party contained herein shall have been

true and correct in all respects on and as of the relevant Closing Date with
the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on
and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that speak
as of a specific date or time other than such Closing Date (which need only be
true and correct in all respects as of such date or time)), other than, in all
such cases, such failures to be true and/or correct as would not in the
aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Company or Buyer's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;
provided, however, that if any of the representations and warranties is already
qualified in any respect by materiality or as to Material Adverse Effect for
purposes of this Section 7.3(a) such materiality or Material Adverse Effect
qualification will be in all respects ignored (but subject to the overall
standard as to Material Adverse Effect set forth immediately prior to this
proviso). The covenants and agreements of Buyer to be performed on or before
the relevant Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement shall have been duly
performed in all respects, other than (except for Buyer's obligation to pay the
relevant Purchase Price at the relevant Closing, and except for Buyer's
covenants set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, as to which the proviso set forth
in this other-than clause shall not apply) for such failures to have been
performed as would not in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Company or Buyer's ability to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby (provided, however, that if any such covenant
or agreement is already qualified in any respect by materiality or as to
Material Adverse Effect for purposes of determining whether this condition has

the overall exception as to Material Adverse Effect set forth immediately prior
to this proviso)). Buyer shall have delivered to the Company at the relevant
Closing a certificate of an appropriate officer in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company dated the relevant Closing Date to such effect.

Buyer shall have mutually concluded that no filing under the HSR Act is required
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) "No Injunction." There shall not be in effect any order, decree or
injunction of a court or agency of competent jurisdiction which enjoins or
prohibits consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and there shall

reasonably request.

ARTICLE 8

Survival; Indemnification

Section 8.1 "Survival." All representations, warranties and (except as
provided by the last sentence of this Section 8.1) covenants and agreements of
the parties contained herein, including indemnity or indemnification agreements
contained herein, or in any Schedule or Exhibit hereto, or any certificate,
document or other instrument delivered in connection herewith shall survive the
Initial Closing until the earlier of (a) a Qualified Underwritten Offering
and (b) the conversion of all Preferred Units and Company Preferred Stock
purchased hereunder into Company Common Stock. No Action or proceeding may be
brought with respect to any of the representations and warranties, or any of the
covenants or agreements which survive until the first anniversary of the Initial
Closing, unless written notice thereof, setting forth in reasonable detail the
claimed misrepresentation or breach of warranty or breach of covenant or
agreement, shall have been delivered to the party alleged to have breached such
representation or warranty or such covenant or agreement prior to the first
anniversary of the Initial Closing; provided, however, that, if Buyer shall have
complied with this Section 8.1, the damages for breach by the Company of any of
the representations and warranties, or any of the covenants or agreements which
survive until the first anniversary of the Initial Closing, shall be measured
with respect to all of Buyer's purchases of Preferred Units and Company
Preferred Stock hereunder and not with respect only to Buyer's purchases
hereunder made prior to the first anniversary of the Initial Closing, but such
measurement shall not in any event include any shares of Company Stock that
Buyer may have purchased other than from the Company. Those covenants or
agreements that contemplate or may involve actions to be taken or obligations in
effect after the

Initial Closing shall survive in accordance with their terms, and the
indemnification described in Section 8.2 shall survive until the running of the
applicable statutes of limitations.

Section 8.2 "Indemnification by Buyer, the Advancing Party, Kimco or the
Company." (a) Subject to Section 8.1, from and after any Closing Date, Buyer,
each member of the Advancing Party and Kimco, severally in accordance with the
percentages set forth on Exhibit B, shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, its successors and assigns, from and against any and all damages,
claims, losses, expenses, costs, obligations, and liabilities, including
liabilities for all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (including attorney
and expert fees and expenses incurred to enforce the terms of this Agreement)
(collectively, "Loss and Expenses") suffered, directly or indirectly, by the
Company by reason of, or arising out of, (i) any breach as of the date made or
deemed made or required to be true of any representation or warranty made by
Buyer, the Advancing Party or Kimco in or pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii)
any failure by Buyer, the Advancing Party or Kimco to perform or fulfill any of
its covenants or agreements set forth herein. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Loss and Expenses
include a party's incidental or consequential damages.

(b) Subject to Section 8.1, from and after any Closing Date, the Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Advancing Party and Kimco, its
successors and assigns, from and against any and all Loss and Expenses,
suffered, directly or indirectly, by Buyer, the Advancing Party or Kimco by
reason of, or arising out of, (i) any breach as of the date made or deemed made
or required to be true of any representation or warranty made by the Company in
or pursuant to this Agreement and any statements made in any certificate
delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any failure by the Company to
perform or fulfill any of its covenants or agreements set forth herein;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, to the extent that the IRS makes an IRS Termination Determination (as
defined in the Amended Partnership Agreement and the Articles Supplementary)
and such occurrence constitutes a breach of a representation, warranty or
covenant of the Company, the Company shall not have any liability for such
breach under this Section 8.1(b) and neither Buyer nor the Advancing Party
shall be entitled to institute an action seeking damages for such breach.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no
event shall Loss and Expenses include (A) a party's incidental or consequential
damages or (B) costs or expenses to Buyer, the Advancing Party or Kimco arising
other than in violation of any provision of this Agreement, and the agreements
and instruments contemplated hereby, and solely and directly as a result of the
jurisdiction or the form of organization of Buyer, the Advancing Party or
Kimco.

In the event of a breach or inaccuracy of the sort referred to in clause (i)
of the first sentence of this Section 8.2(b) which results in damage to the
Company but not in direct damage to Buyer or the Advancing Party, the Loss and
Expenses suffered by Buyer and the Advancing Party shall be equal to the Buyer
Portion (as defined below) of the amount by which the Company's net tangible
assets or future earnings, capitalized at an appropriate rate, are damaged as a
result thereof, after taking into account all receipts of proceeds of insurance
policies, tax benefits, and other mitigating factors (including recoveries from
tenants, rents from new leases in replacement of leases lost, contribution
payments from third parties and the like).

As used in this Section 8.2(b), "Buyer Portion" shall mean a fraction (i)
the numerator of which is the sum of (A) the number of shares of Company Common
Stock held by Buyer, the Advancing Party and Kimco and purchased under this
Agreement plus (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock for which
Preferred Units held by Buyer, the Advancing Party and Kimco may at any time be
exchanged (as adjusted under Section 6.6 of this Agreement) plus (C) the number
of shares of Company Common Stock which Buyer, the Advancing Party and Kimco
would at any time be entitled to receive on conversion of Company Preferred
Stock held by Buyer, the Advancing Party and Kimco and purchased under this
Agreement (at the then applicable Conversion Price, and otherwise as set forth
in and established pursuant to Article SECOND, Section 6 of the Articles
Supplementary, and (ii) the denominator of which is a number equal to (A) the
number of all shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding or which would be
outstanding after giving effect to rights to receive shares of Company Common
Stock pursuant to the exercise of conversion privileges under then outstanding,
fully paid and non-assessable securities of the Company or the Operating
Partnership minus (B) the number of shares established in clause (i) as the
numerator of the fraction.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither Buyer nor the Company shall
be responsible for any Loss and Expenses as provided by paragraphs (a) and (b),
respectively, of this Section 8.2, until the cumulative aggregate amount of such
Loss and Expenses suffered by Buyer or the Company, as thecase may be, exceeds
$500,000, in which case Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, shall then
be liable for all such Loss and Expenses, and (ii) the cumulative aggregate
indemnity obligation of each of Buyer and the Company under this Section 8.2
shall in no event exceed the Total Equity Commitment. Except with respect to
third-party claims being defended in good faith or claims for indemnification
with respect to which there exists a good faith dispute, the indemnifying party
shall satisfy its obligations hereunder within 30 days of receipt of a notice of
claim under this Article 8.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there shall have
occurred a breach of the covenant in Section 6.4 hereof, the Company hereby
agrees to protect and hold harmless the Colorado Investor from and with respect
to all federal, state and other taxes and impositions which the Colorado
Investor pays, incurs or to which the Colorado Investor becomes liable, but only
to the extent that such payment, incurrence or liability is directly
attributable to such breach of Section 6.4 and the Colorado Investor pays,
incurs or becomes liable with respect to taxes and impositions in excess of
amounts which it would have paid or incurred or as to which it would have become
liable if no such breach had occurred. Any payment which is made to the
Colorado Investor pursuant to this Section 8.2(d) will be further increased by
an amount which is sufficient to hold the Colorado Investor harmless from and
against any liability for federal state and other taxes and impositions by
reason of any payment made under this Section 8.2(d).

Section 8.3 "Third-Party Claims." If a claim by a third party is made
against an Indemnified Party and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek
indemnity with respect thereto under this Article, such Indemnified Party shall
promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of such claims setting
forth such claims in reasonable detail. The indemnifying party shall have 20
days after receipt of such notice to undertake, through counsel of its own
choosing and at its own expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the
Indemnified Party shall

cooperate with it in connection therewith, provided, however, that the
Indemnified Party may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel
chosen by such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have
elected not, or, after reasonable written notice of any such claim or
threatened claim, shall have failed, to assume or participate in the defense
thereof, (ii) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the
Indemnifying Party in writing, or (iii) the parties to any such claim or
threatened claim (included any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified party shall have been
advised in writing by counsel for the Indemnified Party that there may be one
or more defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to
the Indemnifying Party or legal conflicts of interest pursuant to applicable
rules of professional conduct between the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party (in any which case, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume to defense of such claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party),
in either of which events referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) the fees
and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party provided that the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall
not pay or settle any claim which the indemnifying party is contesting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
pay or settle any such claim, provided that in such event it shall waive any
right to indemnity therefor by the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying
party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 20 days after the receipt of
the Indemnified Party's notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects
to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
contest, settle or compromise the claim but shall not thereby waive any right
to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement.

shall be binding upon each holder of any Preferred Units or shares of Company

the Operating Partnership. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any
term or provision hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent

versa and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the
context requires, (ii) the terms "hereof," "herein," and "herewith" and words of
