 2.2 For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “Cause” shall be exclusively limited to any of the following actions by the Executive: (a) failure to comply with any of the material terms of this Agreement or of the Corporation’s Code of Ethics, which shall
not be cured within 10 days after written notice, or if the same is not of a nature that it can be completely cured within such 10 day period, if Executive shall have failed to commence to cure the same within such 10 day period and shall have

would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger or consolidation of the Corporation or Partnership in which the holders of the Corporation’s stock immediately 

  
 3 








 
prior to the merger or consolidation hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the stock or other forms of equity of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger, or (y) any sale,
lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, the assets of the Corporation or the Partnership; (ii) the Board approves any plan or proposal for liquidation or dissolution

a period of 90 consecutive days, or for shorter 

  
 6 








 
periods aggregating more than six months during the term of this Agreement, to render the services contemplated hereunder, then the Corporation or the Partnership, at either of their options, may
terminate the term of employment hereunder by notice from the Corporation or the Partnership, as the case may be, to the Executive, effective on the giving of such notice. During any period of disability of Executive during the term hereof, the
Corporation shall continue to pay to Executive the salary and bonus, which the Executive has earned and accrued as of the date of termination of employment. 

3.7 In the event of the death of the Executive during the term hereof, the employment hereunder shall terminate on the date of death of the
Executive.

Maryland to New York; and 
 (iv) Payment of $100,000.00 towards the Executive’s purchase of a home, payable upon closing. 

All moving expenses will be paid upon the presentation by the Executive of appropriate vouchers therefor. 

4. Severance Compensation Upon Termination of Employment. 

4.1 Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2 hereof, (a) if the Executive’s employment with the Corporation or the
Partnership (or any Successor Entity) is terminated by the Corporation or Partnership (or any Successor Entity) other than (i) for Cause or (ii) pursuant to Sections 3.6 or 3.7; or (b) if the Executive’s employment with
the Corporation or the Partnership (or any Successor Entity) is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason; then the Corporation and the Partnership (or any Successor Entity) shall: 

(i) pay to the Executive as severance pay, on the eighth (8th) day
after the Executive signs and delivers to the Corporation a general release of any and all claims she may have against the Corporation and Partnership, a lump sum payment equal to 250% of the sum of the Executive’s annual base salary at the
rate applicable on the date of termination, and the highest of the Executive’s annual bonus for the preceding two full fiscal years, exclusive of any long-term incentive stock awards; provided, however, that in the event Executive’s
employment terminates due to a Change in Control as defined in Paragraph 2.4 herein, Executive shall not be required to execute a general release as a precondition to receiving her severance pay. 

  
 8 








 (ii) arrange to provide Executive, for a 12 month period (or such shorter period
as Executive may elect), with disability, accident and health insurance substantially similar to those insurance benefits which Executive is receiving immediately prior to the date of termination to the extent obtainable upon reasonable terms;
provided, however, if it is not so obtainable the Corporation shall pay to the Executive in cash the annual amount paid by the Corporation or the Partnership for such benefits during the previous year of the Executive’s employment. Benefits
otherwise receivable by Executive pursuant to this Section 4.1(ii) shall be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are actually received by the Executive during such 12 month period following her termination (or such shorter period elected
by the Executive), and any such benefits actually received by Executive shall be reported by the Executive to the Corporation within ten (10) days of receiving such benefits; and 

(iii) any options granted to Executive to acquire common stock of the Corporation, any restricted shares of common stock of the
Corporation issued to the Executive, and any other awards granted to the Executive under any employee benefit plan that have not vested shall immediately vest on such termination. 

4.2(a) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other
employment or otherwise, nor, except to the extent provided in Section 4.1(ii) above, shall the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another
employer. 

  
 9 








         (b) The provisions of this Agreement, and any
payment provided for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the Executive’s existing rights, or rights which would accrue solely as a result of the passage of time, under any benefit plan of the
Corporation or Partnership, or other contract, plan or arrangement. 
 4.4 For purposes of this Agreement, a “Successor Entity”
shall mean any entity which by way of merger, acquisition, or otherwise has become the Executive’s actual employer. 
 5. Other
Activities During Employment. 
 5.1 The Executive shall not during the term of this Agreement undertake or engage in any other
employment, occupation or business enterprise. Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Executive may engage in reasonable activities with respect to personal investments of the Executive. 

5.2 During the term of this Agreement, without the prior approval of the Board of Directors, neither the Executive nor any entity in which she
may be interested as a partner, trustee, director, officer, employee, shareholder, option holder, lender of money or guarantor, shall be engaged directly or indirectly in any real estate development, leasing, marketing or management activities other
than through the Corporation and the Partnership, except for activities existing on the date of this Agreement which have been disclosed to the Corporation; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to (a) prohibit the Executive
from being on the Board of Directors of another entity, (b) prevent the Executive from investing in securities if such class of securities in which the investment is so made is listed on a national securities exchange or is issued by a company
registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, so long as such investment holdings do not, in the aggregate, constitute more than 1% of the voting stock of any company’s securities or (c) prohibit passive
investments, subject to any limitations contained in subparagraph (b) above. 

  
 10 








 5.3 The Executive shall not at any time during this Agreement or after the termination hereof
directly or indirectly divulge, furnish, use, publish or make accessible to any person or entity any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined), except pursuant to subpoena, court order or applicable law. In the event the Executive is
required to divulge, furnish, use or publish Confidential Information pursuant to subpoena, court order or applicable law, Executive will provide the Corporation with a minimum of five (5) days’ notice before doing so. Any records of
Confidential Information prepared by the Executive or which come into Executive’s possession during this Agreement are and remain the property of the Corporation or the Partnership, as the case may be, and upon termination of Executive’s
employment all such records and copies thereof shall be either left with or returned to the Corporation or the Partnership, as the case may be. 

5.4 The term “Confidential Information” shall mean information disclosed to the Executive or known, learned, created or observed by
Executive as a consequence of or through employment by the Corporation and the Partnership, not generally known in the relevant trade or industry, about the Corporation’s or the Partnership’s business activities, services and processes,
including but not limited to information concerning advertising, sales promotion, publicity, sales data, research, copy, leasing, other printed matter, artwork, photographs, reproductions, layout, finances, accounting, methods, processes, business
plans, contractors, lessee and supplier lists and records, potential lessee and supplier lists, and contractor, lessee or supplier billing. 

  
 11 








 6. Post-Employment Activities. 

6.1 During the term of employment hereunder, and absent any written waiver or agreement to the contrary, for a period of one year after
termination of employment, regardless of the reason for such termination, other than by (x) the Corporation or Partnership (or Successor Entity) without Cause or (y) the Executive for Good Reason; or (z) expiration of this Agreement,
the Executive shall not directly or indirectly become employed by, act as a consultant to, or otherwise render any services to any person, corporation, partnership or other entity which is engaged in, or about to become engaged in, the retail
shopping center business or any other business which is competitive with the business of the Corporation, the Partnership or any of their subsidiaries nor shall Executive use Executive’s talents to make any such business competitive with the
business of the Corporation, the Partnership or any of their subsidiaries. For the purpose of this Section, a retail shopping center business or other business shall be deemed to be competitive if it involves the ownership, operation, leasing or
management of any retail shopping centers which draw from the same related trade area, which is deemed to be within a radius of 10 miles from the location of (a) any then existing shopping centers of the Corporation, the Partnership or any of
their subsidiaries or (b) any proposed centers for which the site is owned or under contract, is under construction or is actively being negotiated. The Executive shall be deemed to be directly or indirectly engaged in a business if Executive
participates therein as a director, officer, stockholder, employee, agent, consultant, manager, salesman, partner or individual proprietor, or as an investor who has made advances or loans, contributions to capital or expenditures for the purchase
of stock, or in any capacity or manner whatsoever; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prevent the Executive from investing in securities if such class of securities in which the investment is so


  
 12 








 
made is listed on a national securities exchange or is issued by a company registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, so long as such investment holdings do not,
in the aggregate, constitute more than 1% of the voting stock of any company’s securities. 
 6.2 The Executive acknowledges that
Executive has been employed for Executive’s special talents and that Executive’s leaving the employ of the Corporation and the Partnership would seriously hamper the business of the Corporation and the Partnership. The Executive agrees
that the Corporation and the Partnership shall each be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to all remedies permitted by law, to enforce the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 hereof. The Executive further acknowledges that Executive’s
training, experience and technical skills are of such breadth that they can be employed to advantage in other areas which are not competitive with the present business of the Corporation and the Partnership and consequently the foregoing obligation
will not unreasonably impair Executive’s ability to engage in business activity after the termination of Executive’s present employment. 

6.3 The Executive will not, during the period of one (1) year after termination of employment, regardless of the reason for such
termination, hire or offer to hire or entice away or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade, either in Executive’s individual capacity or as agent for another, any of the Corporation’s, the Partnership’s or any of their
subsidiaries’ officers, employees or agents to discontinue their relationship with the Corporation, the Partnership or any of their subsidiaries nor divert or attempt to divert from the Corporation, the Partnership or any of their subsidiaries
any business whatsoever by influencing or attempting to influence any contractor, lessee or supplier of the Corporation, the Partnership or any of their subsidiaries. 

  
 13 








 7. Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
Corporation, the Partnership and their successors and assigns, and upon the Executive and Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Corporation and the Partnership will require any successor or assign to all or
substantially all of their business or assets to assume and perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation and the Partnership would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.
This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Executive. 
 8. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not create, and
shall not be construed as creating, any rights enforceable by any person not a party to this Agreement, except as provided in Section 7 hereof. 

9. Headings. The headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof
nor to affect the meaning thereof. 
 10. Interpretation. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement
shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein. If, moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or
subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear. 

  
 14 








 11. Notices. All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been given at the time when mailed by registered or certified mail, addressed to the address below stated of the party to which notice is given, or to such changed address as such party may have fixed by notice:

 15 








 16. Arbitration. Mindful of the high cost of litigation, not only in dollars but time and
energy as well, the parties intend to and do hereby establish a quick, final and binding out-of-court dispute resolution procedure to be followed in the unlikely event any controversy should arise out of or concerning the performance of this
Agreement. Accordingly, the parties do hereby covenant and agree that any controversy, dispute or claim of whatever nature arising out of, in connection with or in relation to the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement, including
any claim based on contract, tort or statute, shall be settled, at the request of any party to this Agreement, through arbitration by a dispute resolution process administered by JAMS or any other mutually agreed upon arbitration firm involving
final and binding arbitration conducted at a location determined by the arbitrator in New York City administered by and in accordance with the then existing rules of practice and procedure of such arbitration firm and judgment upon any award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any state or federal court having jurisdiction thereof; provided, however, that the Corporation and the Partnership shall be entitled to seek judicial relief to enforce the provisions of Sections 5
and 6 of this Agreement. 
 17. Indemnification. During this Agreement and thereafter, the Corporation and the Partnership shall
indemnify the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by law against any judgments, fine, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with any claim, action or proceeding (whether civil or
criminal) against the Executive as a result of the Executive serving as an officer or director of the Corporation or the Partnership, in or with regard to any other entity, employee benefit plan or enterprise (other than arising out of the
Executive’s act of willful misconduct, gross negligence, misappropriation of funds, fraud or breach of this Agreement). This indemnification shall be in 

  
 16 








 
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnification the Executive shall be entitled to pursuant to the Corporation’s or Partnership’s Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, Agreement of Limited Partnership or otherwise. Following the Executive’s termination of employment, the Corporation and the Partnership shall continue to cover the Executive under the then existing
director’s and officer’s insurance, if any, for the period during which the Executive may be subject to potential liability for any claim, action or proceeding (whether civil or criminal) as a result of her service as an officer or
director of the Corporation or the Partnership or in any capacity at the request of the Corporation or the Partnership, in or with regard to any other entity, employee benefit plan or enterprise on the same terms such coverage was provided during
this Agreement, at the highest level then maintained for any then current or former officer or director. 
 18. Section 409A.

 18.1 It is the intention of the Corporation and the Partnership that all payments and benefits under this Agreement shall be made and
provided in a manner that is either exempt from or intended to avoid taxation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), to the extent applicable. Any ambiguity in this Agreement shall be
interpreted to comply with the above. The Executive acknowledges that the Corporation and the Partnership have made no representations as to the treatment of the compensation and benefits provided hereunder and the Executive has been advised to
obtain her own tax advice. 
 18.2 Each amount or benefit payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes
of Section 409A. 

  
 17 








 18.3 For all purposes under this Agreement, any iteration of the word “termination”
(e.g., “terminated”) with respect to the Executive’s employment, shall mean a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A. 

18.4 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the stock of the Corporation is publicly traded on an
established securities market or otherwise and the Executive is a “specified employee” (as determined under the Corporation’s administrative procedure for such determinations, in accordance with Section 409A) at the time of the
Executive’s termination of employment, any payments under this Agreement that are deemed to be deferred compensation subject to Section 409A shall not be paid or begin payment until the earlier of (i) the Executive’s death or
(ii) the first payroll date following the six (6) month anniversary of the Executive’s date of termination of employment; provided, however, that the Corporation if so requested by the Executive agrees to contribute any such payments
required to be made to the Executive to a rabbi trust established by the Corporation for the benefit of the Executive. 
 18.5 Any
reimbursements provided under this Agreement shall be made no later than the December 31st following the year in which such expenses are incurred, or such earlier date as provided under any plan or policy of the Corporation or Partnership, as
applicable. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
