 Regency Centers, L.P., a limited partnership duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (herein
called the “Issuer,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of Three Hundred
Million Dollars ($300,000,000) (such amount the “principal amount” of this Security), or such other principal amount as may be set forth in the records of the trustee hereinafter referred to in accordance with the Indenture, on
February 1, 2047 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon from January 26, 2017 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on February 1 and
August 1 in each year, commencing on August 1, 2017, at the rate of 4.400% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment; provided that any principal and premium, and any such installment of
interest, which is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of 2.000% per annum in excess of the then applicable rate (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they
are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose
name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be January 15 or July 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next
preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one
or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less
than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 







 Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made at
the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in Jacksonville, Florida or in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Issuer payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security
Register. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this
Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 [Reverse of Security] 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued
in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of December 5, 2001, among the Issuer, Regency Centers Corporation, as Guarantor, and Wachovia Bank, National Association, formerly known as First Union National Bank, as Trustee, as
supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 5, 2007 (herein called the “First Supplemental Indenture”), the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 2, 2010 (herein called the “Second
Supplemental Indenture”), the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 17, 2015 (herein called the “Third Supplemental Indenture”) and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 26, 2017 (herein called
the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”; and such Indenture as originally executed and delivered and as supplemented from time to time thereafter, together with the First Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Third
Supplemental Indenture and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, herein called the “Indenture”), each among the Issuer, Regency Centers Corporation, as Guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor to Wachovia Bank, National
Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof. 

Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor
less than 15 days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if
any, with respect to such Securities; provided, however, that if any Security is redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the redemption price shall not include the Make-Whole Amount. 

As used herein, “Make-Whole Amount” means, in connection with any optional redemption or accelerated payment of any Securities, the
excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption
or accelerated payment) that would have been payable in respect of each such dollar to the Par Call Date if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a semi-annual basis, such principal and interest at
the Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or paid. 

“Par Call Date” means August 1, 2046. 

  
 - 4 - 








 “Reinvestment Rate” means 0.25% plus the arithmetic mean of the yields under the
respective heading “Week Ending” published in the most recent Statistical Release under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life to maturity
(assuming that the Securities matured on the Par Call Date, the “remaining life”) of the Securities, as of the payment date of the principal being redeemed or paid. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such maturity, yields for the two
published maturities most closely corresponding to such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding
in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month. For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount shall be used. 

“Statistical Release” means the statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published
weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities, or, if such statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the
indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index designated by us. 
 The Securities of this series do not have the benefit of any
sinking fund obligations. 
 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of
like tenor for the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon cancellation thereof. 
 The Indenture
contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the
Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the
Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture
permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the
Indenture at any time by the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuer or by
the Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

  
 - 5 - 








 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall
not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding
a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this
Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in Jacksonville, Florida or in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The
Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

  
 - 6 - 








 Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the
Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Issuer,
the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Interest on this Security shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture, unless otherwise defined herein. 
 The Indenture and this Security shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 GUARANTEE 

For value received, Regency Centers Corporation, as Guarantor (the “Guarantor”), hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Holder of
the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed, and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security when and as the same shall become due and payable,
whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, purchase or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of the Indenture referred to therein. In case of the failure of the Issuer punctually to make any such payment, the Guarantor hereby agrees to
cause such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by acceleration, purchase or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Issuer. 

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability
of such Security or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same or any release or amendment or waiver of any term of any other Guarantee of, or any consent to departure from any requirement of any other Guarantee of all or of any of
the Securities on which this Guarantee is endorsed, the election by the Trustee or any of the Holders in any proceeding under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, any borrowing
or grant of a security interest by the Issuer, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims of the Trustee or any of the
Holders for payment of any of the Securities on which this Guarantee is endorsed, any waiver or consent by the Holder of such Security or by the Trustee or either of them with respect to any provisions thereof or of the Indenture, the obtaining of
any judgment against the Issuer or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, any requirement that the Trustee or any of the Holders exhaust any right or take any action against the Issuer or any other Person, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer,

performance of the obligations contained in such Security and in this Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such Security, whether at their Stated Maturity,
by acceleration, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Security, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against the Guarantor to enforce
this Guarantee without first proceeding against the Issuer. The Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their
respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Securities on which this Guarantee is endorsed, to collect interest on such Securities, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to such Securities, the Guarantor agrees to
pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.

shall alter or impair the Guarantee of the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, of the due and punctual payment of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest on the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed. 

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of this Security against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by the
Guarantor on account of this Security pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee or the Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such
right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security and all other Securities of this series issued under the Indenture shall have been paid in full. 

This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for
liquidation or reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Securities of this series is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be
restored or returned by any obligee on the Securities of this series whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any
