“Notes”).



     SECTION 2.2. Limitation on Aggregate Principal Amount.




     The aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall be limited to $___(the “Initial
Original Principal Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, without the consent
of any Holders of Securities or coupons, by Board Resolutions or indentures supplemental to the
Indenture from time to time may reopen such series of Notes and issue additional Notes in an
aggregate principal amount as set forth in any such Board Resolution or indenture supplemental to
the Indenture which additional Notes shall be fungible with any previously issued Notes to the
extent set forth in such Board Resolutions or indenture supplemental to the Indenture. Except as
provided in this Section, any such Board Resolutions or indentures supplemental to the Indenture
and in Section 306 of the Indenture, the Company shall not execute and the Trustee shall not
authenticate or deliver Notes in excess of the Initial Original Principal Amount.



     Nothing contained in this Section 2.2 or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture, or in the

Trustee of the Notes under the circumstances contemplated in Sections 303, 304, 306, 906 and 1305
of the Indenture.



     SECTION 2.3. Interest and Interest Rates; Maturity Date of Notes.

commencing

whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on
_________ ____ or _________ ____ (whether or
not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a
“Regular Record Date”). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed
of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable on any Note which is not punctually paid or duly
provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Person in
whose name such Note is registered on the relevant Regular Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest
shall instead be payable to the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Special Record
Date or other specified date determined in accordance with the Indenture.




     If any Interest Payment Date or Maturity falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the
required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment
was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such
Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be.



     The Notes will mature on _________ ____, 20__.



     SECTION 2.4. Limitations on Incurrence of Debt.



          (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if,
immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of
the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 60% of the
sum of (without duplication) (i) the Total Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end
of the latest calendar quarter covered in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Commission (or, if such
filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such
additional Debt and (ii) the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable
acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds
were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the
Company or any Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter, including those proceeds obtained
in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt.




          (b) In addition to the limitation set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 2.4 the Company
will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if the ratio of Consolidated Income
Available for Debt Service to the Annual Service Charge for the four consecutive fiscal quarters
most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have
been less than 1.5:1, on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto and to the application of
the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that (i) such Debt and any other Debt
incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period and
the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Debt, had occurred at the
beginning of such period; (ii) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt by the Company and its
Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had been repaid or retired at the
beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any
revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt
during such period); (iii) in the case of Acquired Debt or Debt incurred in connection with any
acquisition since the first day of such four-quarter period, the

6









 








related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate
adjustments with respect to such acquisition being included in such pro forma calculation; and (iv)
in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Company or its Subsidiaries of any asset or
group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase
or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition or any related repayment of
Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect
to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.




          (c) In addition to the limitations set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.4,
the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt secured by any
Encumbrance, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the
application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the
Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis which is secured by any Encumbrance is greater
than 40% of the sum of (without duplication) (i) the Total Assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as of the end of the latest calendar quarter covered in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the
Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, with the Trustee) prior to
the incurrence of such additional Debt and (ii) the purchase price of any real estate assets or
mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the
extent that such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or
used to reduce Debt), by the Company or any Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter,
including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt.




          (d) The Company and its Subsidiaries may not at any time own Total Unencumbered Assets equal
to less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt of the
Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.




          (e) For purposes of this Section 2.4, Debt shall be deemed to be “incurred” by the
Company or a Subsidiary whenever the Company or such Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or
otherwise become liable in respect thereof.




     SECTION 2.5. Optional Redemption.




          (a) Subject to this Section 2.5, the Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option and in
the sole discretion of the Company, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price
equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the redemption date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Notes
(the “Redemption Price”). If (i) notice has been given as provided in Sections 2.5(b) and
(c) and (ii) funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption shall have been made
available as provided in the Indenture on the redemption date referred to in such notice, such
Notes will cease to bear interest on the date fixed for such redemption specified in such notice,
and the only right of the Holders of the Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price
upon surrender of the Notes in accordance with such notice.




7







 








          (b) Notice of any optional redemption of any Notes will be given to Holders at their
addresses, as shown in the Security Register, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption. The notice of redemption will specify, in addition to the items required
by the Indenture, the Redemption Price and the principal amount of the Notes held by each Holder to

the Company, the Company will notify the Trustee in writing at least 45 days prior to giving the
notice of redemption required by Section 2.5(b) (or such shorter period as is satisfactory to the
Trustee) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and their redemption date. The
Trustee shall select not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, in such manner as it shall
deem fair and appropriate, in its sole discretion, Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part.

other Obligation.



     SECTION 3.2. Obligations Several. Regardless of whether any proposed Guarantor or any
other Person or Persons is, are or shall become in any other way responsible to the Trustee and the
Holders, or any of them, for or in respect of the Obligations or any part thereof, and regardless
of whether or not any Person or Persons now or hereafter responsible to the Trustee and the
Holders, or any of them, for the Obligations or any part thereof, whether under the Guaranty or
otherwise, shall cease to be so liable, each Guarantor hereby declares and agrees that the Guaranty
provided thereby is and shall continue to be a several obligation (as well as a joint one), shall
be a continuing guaranty and shall be operative and binding on such Guarantor. Each Guarantor
hereby agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation under
the Guaranty, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, unless and until all of the Obligations
shall have been paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such
subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders and shall forthwith be
paid to the Trustee to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured,
in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, but subject to the provisions of Section 3.7 hereof.



     SECTION 3.3. Guaranty Final. Upon the execution and delivery of this Supplemental
Indenture by the parties hereto, this Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be finally executed
and delivered by the parties hereto and shall not be subject to or affected by any promise or
condition affecting or limiting any Guarantor’s liability, and no statement, representation,
agreement or promise on the part of the Trustee, the Holders, the Company, or any of them, or any

remain in full force and effect until all Obligations shall have been paid in full.




     SECTION 3.4. Dealings With the Company. The Company, the Trustee and the Holders, or
any of them, may, from time to time, without exonerating or releasing any Guarantor in any way
under the Guaranty, (i) take such further or other security or securities for the Obligations or
any part thereof as the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, may deem proper, consistent with
the Indenture, (ii) release, discharge, abandon or otherwise deal with or fail to deal with any
Guarantor of the Obligations or any security or securities therefor or any part thereof now or
hereafter held by the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, as the Trustee and the Holders, or
any of them, may deem proper, consistent with the Indenture, or (iii) consistent with the
Indenture, amend, modify, extend, accelerate or waive in any manner any of the provisions, terms,
or conditions of the Indenture and the Guaranteed Securities, all as the Company, the Trustee and
the Holders, or any of them, may consider expedient or appropriate in their sole discretion.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of Section 3.5 hereof, it is understood that
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, may, without exonerating or releasing any
Guarantor, give up, or modify or abstain from perfecting or taking advantage of any security for

deem expedient, consistent with the Indenture, all without notice to any Guarantor.



     SECTION 3.5. Guaranty Unconditional. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that no
change in the nature or terms of the Obligations, the Indenture or the Guaranteed Securities, or
other agreements, instruments or contracts evidencing, related to or attendant with the Obligations
(including any novation), nor any determination of lack of enforceability thereof, shall discharge
all or any part of the liabilities and obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to the Guaranty; it
being the purpose and intent of the Guarantors, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders that the
covenants, agreements and all liabilities and obligations of the Guarantors hereunder are absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees that until each and every one of the covenants and agreements
of this Supplemental Indenture is fully performed, such Guarantor’s undertakings hereunder shall
not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing which might, but for this Section 3.5,
be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, or by reason of any waiver or
omission of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, or their failure to proceed
promptly or otherwise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted by the Company, the Trustee and
the Holders, or any of them, whether or not such action or failure to act varies or increases the
risk of, or affects the rights or remedies of, such Guarantor or by reason of any further dealings
among the Company, the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, or any other guarantor or surety,
and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to its liability hereunder,
or any right of counterclaim or offset of any nature or description which it may have or which may
exist based upon, and shall be deemed to have consented to, any of the foregoing acts, omissions,
things, agreements or waivers.



     SECTION 3.6. Bankruptcy. Each Guarantor agrees that upon the bankruptcy or winding up
or other distribution of assets of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company



10









 




(other than such Guarantor) or of any other Guarantor or surety or guarantor for the
Obligations, the rights of the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, against such Guarantor
shall not be affected or impaired by the omission of the Trustee or the Holders, or any of them, to
prove its or their claim, as appropriate, or to prove its or their full claim, as appropriate, and
the Trustee and the Holders may prove such claims as they see fit and may refrain from proving any
claim and in their respective discretion they may value as they see fit or refrain from valuing any
security held by the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, without in any way releasing,
reducing or otherwise affecting the liability to the Trustee and the Holders of such Guarantor. If
acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Company under the Indenture or
the Guaranteed Securities of any series is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization
of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Indenture
or the Guaranteed Securities of that series shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor
hereunder forthwith on demand by the Trustee made at the written request of the Holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Guaranteed Securities of that series. If at any
time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Security or any other amount
payable by the Company under the Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, any other Guarantor or otherwise,
the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though
such payment had been due but not made at such time.




     SECTION 3.7. Application of Payments. The Trustee hereby acknowledges and agrees, and
each Holder shall be deemed to hereby acknowledge and agree, that to the extent any of the Existing
Senior Obligations (as defined below) is then in default, any funds, payments, claims or
distributions (the “Guaranty Proceeds”) actually received hereunder shall be made available
for distribution equally and ratably (based on the principal amounts then outstanding) among (a)
the holders of the Obligations and (b) the holders of the Existing Senior Obligations. For purposes
hereof, “Existing Senior Obligations” shall mean Debt for borrowed money owed or guaranteed in
connection with any unsecured and non-subordinated Debt for borrowed money of the Company or the
Guarantor (aa) issued in offerings registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or in
placements exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S thereunder, or (bb)
otherwise incurred, which is, in either case, outstanding on the date hereof or incurred hereafter
in accordance with the Indenture (including, without limitation, the Debt of the Company incurred
in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 17, 2006, as
amended or supplemented from time to time, among the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, and the lenders named therein, and
certain other lenders party thereto from time to time). This Section 3.7 shall not apply to any
payments, funds, claims or distributions received by the Trustee or any Holder directly or
indirectly from the Company or any other Person other than from the Guarantors hereunder. Each
Guarantor acknowledges and agrees with the Trustee and each Holder as follows:



          (a) to the extent any Guaranty Proceeds are distributed to the holders of the Existing Senior
Obligations, the Obligations shall not be deemed reduced by any such distribution (other than a
distribution made in respect of the Guaranteed Securities), and the Guarantors will continue to
make payments pursuant to the Guaranty until such time as the

11









 








Obligations have been paid in full after taking into effect any distributions of Guaranty
Proceeds to the holders of Existing Senior Obligations;




          (b) nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit, modify or alter the rights of the
Trustee and the Holders or be deemed to subordinate the Obligations to the Existing Senior
Obligations, nor give to any holder of Existing Senior Obligations any rights of subrogation;




          (c) nothing contained herein shall be deemed for the benefit of any holders of Existing Senior
Obligations nor shall anything be construed to impose on the Trustee or any Holder any fiduciary
duties, obligations or responsibilities to the holders of the Existing Senior Obligations; and




          (d) the Guaranty is for the sole benefit of the Trustee and the Holders and their respective
successors and assigns, and any amounts received by the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them,
from whatever source and applied toward the payment of the Obligations shall be applied in such
order of application as is set forth in the Indenture, if any.




     SECTION 3.8. Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives: (a)
notice of acceptance of the Guaranty, (b) notice of the existence or creation of all or any of the
Obligations, (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices
whatsoever, (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Obligations or
any part thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for any of the foregoing and (e) all
rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution and reimbursement against the Company, all
rights to enforce any remedy the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, may have against the
Company, and any benefit of, or right to participate in, any collateral or security now or
hereinafter held by the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, in respect of the Obligations,
even upon payment in full of the Obligations. Any money received by any Guarantor in violation of
this Section 3.8 shall be held in trust by such Guarantor for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Holders. If a claim is ever made upon the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, for the
repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by any of them in payment of any of the
Obligations and the Trustee or the Holders repays all or part of such amount by reason of (a) any
judgment, decree, or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Trustee
or the Holders or any of its or their property, or (b) any good faith settlement or compromise of
any such claim effected by the Trustee or the Holders with any such claimant, including the
Company, then in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order,
settlement, or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation
hereof or the cancellation of any promissory note or other instrument evidencing any of the
Obligations, and such Guarantor shall be and remain obligated to the Trustee and the Holders
hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never
originally been received thereby.



     SECTION 3.9. Remedies Cumulative. No delay by the Trustee and the Holders, or any of
them, in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or
partial exercise by the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, of any right or remedy shall
preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No action
by the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, permitted hereunder shall in any way



12









 




impair or affect the Guaranty. For the purpose of the Guaranty, the Obligations shall include,
without limitation, all Obligations of the Company to the Trustee and the Holders, notwithstanding
any right or power of any third party, individually or in the name of the Company or any other
Person, to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such
Obligation, and no such claim or defense shall impair or affect the obligations of any Guarantor
hereunder.




     SECTION 3.10. Miscellaneous. The Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of
collection. In the event of a demand upon any Guarantor under the Guaranty, such Guarantor shall be
held and bound to the Trustee and the Holders directly as debtor in respect of the payment of the
amounts hereby guaranteed. All reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and
expenses, incurred by the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, in obtaining performance of or
collecting payments due under the Guaranty shall be deemed part of the Obligations guaranteed
hereby. The provisions of the Guaranty are for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders and may
not be relied upon or enforced by any other Person and, as to enforcement, may only be enforced in
accordance with this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture.



     SECTION 3.11. Benefit to Guarantor. Each Guarantor expressly represents and
acknowledges that the issuance and sale of the Guaranteed Securities under the Indenture has been,
and will be, of direct interest, benefit and advantage to such Guarantor.



     SECTION 3.12. Solvency. Each Guarantor expressly represents and warrants that as of
the date hereof and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Indenture (a) the
capital of such Guarantor will not be unreasonably small to conduct its business; (b) such
Guarantor will not have incurred debts, or have intended to incur debts, beyond its ability to pay
such debts as they mature; and (c) the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor
is greater than the amount that will be required to pay its probable liabilities (including debts)
as they become absolute and matured. For purposes of this Section 3.12, “debt” means any liability
on a claim, and “claim” means (x) the right to payment, whether or not such right is reduced to
judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, undisputed, legal,
equitable, secured or unsecured, or (y) the right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance
if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy
is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, undisputed, secured or unsecured.



     SECTION 3.13. Additional Guarantors; Release of Guarantors. Any Subsidiary of the
Company or any other entity may become a party to this Guaranty by executing and delivering a
Supplemental Indenture providing for a guaranty of the Obligations under the terms of this Article
Three, provided that such Supplemental Indenture conforms to the requirements of Article Nine of
the Indenture. Under certain circumstances, a Guarantor may be released by the Trustee of its
obligations under this Guaranty. Each other Guarantor consents and agrees to any such releases and
agrees that no such release shall affect its obligations hereunder, except as to the Guarantor so
released.



     SECTION 3.14. Contribution Agreement. To the extent that any Guarantor shall, under
the Guaranty, make a payment (a “Guarantor Payment”) of a portion of the Obligations, then,



13









 




without limiting its rights of subrogation against the Company, such Guarantor shall be
entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other
Guarantors and the Company (each of the foregoing referred to herein individually as a
“Contributing Party” and collectively as the “Contributing Parties”) in an amount,
for each such Contributing Party, equal to a fraction of such Guarantor Payment, the numerator of
which fraction is such Contributing Party’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) and the denominator
of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Contributing Parties.




     As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Contributing Party
shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability which could be asserted against such Contributing
Party hereunder with respect to the applicable Guarantor Payment without (i) rendering such
Contributing Party “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code
(the “Bankruptcy Code”) or Section 2 of either the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (the
“UFTA”) or the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (the “UFCA”), (ii) leaving such
Contributing Party with unreasonably small capital, within the meaning of Section 548 of the
Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (iii) leaving such
Contributing Party unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of
the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 6 of the UFCA or in any case, any successor
to the Bankruptcy Code or any such section thereof or any successor to the UFTA or the UFCA or any
such sections thereof.



     This Section 3.14 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Contributing Parties,
and nothing set forth in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the
Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts, as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with the terms of the Guaranty.



     The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder
shall constitute assets in favor of each Guarantor to which such contribution and indemnification
is owing.



     This Section 3.14 shall continue in full force and effect and may not be terminated or
otherwise revoked by any Contributing Party until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full (in lawful money of the United States of America) and discharged and the
Indenture and Guaranteed Securities shall have been terminated.



     SECTION 3.15. NO NOVATION. THE PARTIES DO NOT INTEND THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, NOR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, TO BE, AND THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, A NOVATION OR WAIVER OF ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS
OWING BY ANY GUARANTOR OF ANY OBLIGATIONS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY GUARANTY IN EXISTENCE AS
OF THE DATE OF THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.

     EQUITY ONE, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Maryland (herein referred to as the “Company” which term shall include any successor
corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to
pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the
principal sum of
____________________________________________________________ DOLLARS
on ____________ ____, 20__, and to pay interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereon from  ____________ ____, 200__, or from the immediately preceding Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on
____________ ____ and ____________ ____ of each year, commencing
____________ ____, 200__, at the rate of ___%
per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so
payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in
the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date for such interest which shall be
the  ____________ ____ or  ____________ ____ (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any

Security 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 the

interest on the Notes may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto
as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer to an account of the
Person entitled thereto located inside the United States.



A-1









 





     Securities of this series (herein called the “Notes”) are one of a duly authorized
issue of securities of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under the
Indenture, dated as of September 9, 1998, as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as
of September 9, 1998, Supplemental Indenture No. 2, dated as of November 1, 1999, Supplemental
Indenture No. 3, dated as of February 12, 2003, Supplemental Indenture No. 4, dated as of March 26,
2004, Supplemental Indenture No. 5, dated as of April 23, 2004, Supplemental Indenture No. 6, dated
as of May 20, 2005, Supplemental Indenture No. 7, dated as of September 20, 2005, Supplemental
Indenture No. 8 dated December 30, 2005, and Supplemental
Indenture No. ___ dated  ____________ ____, 200__ (“Supplemental Indenture No. ___”) (as so supplemented, herein called the
“Indenture”), among the Company, as successor to IRT Property Company, the Guarantors
listed in such Supplemental Indenture No. ___, and SunTrust Bank (formerly SunTrust Bank Atlanta)
(herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for
a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of
the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which
the Notes are authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated in the
first page hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to
$___ except as otherwise
permitted by the Indenture.



     The Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option and in the sole discretion of the Company,
in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal
amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date and (ii)
the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Notes (the “Redemption Price”). If (i)
notice has been given as provided in the next paragraph and (ii) funds for the redemption of the
Notes called for redemption shall have been made available as provided in the Indenture on the
redemption date referred to in such notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on the date
fixed for such redemption specified in such notice, and the only right of the Holders of such Notes
will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender of such Notes in accordance with
such notice.



     Notice of any optional redemption of any Notes will be given to Holders at their addresses, as
shown in the Security Register, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption. The notice of redemption will specify, among other items, the Redemption Price and the
principal amount of the Notes held by each Holder to be redeemed. If less than all the Notes are to

Trustee in writing at least 45 days prior to giving notice of redemption (or such shorter period as
is satisfactory to the Trustee) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and
their redemption date. The Trustee shall select not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date,
in such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, in its sole discretion, the Notes to be
redeemed in whole or in part.



     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of
the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related defaults and
Events of Default applicable to the Company, in each case, upon compliance
by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to
this Security.



A-2









 





     If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal
of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.



     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 written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect
to the Notes, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes 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 indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes
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 interest on or after the respective due
dates expressed herein.



     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the
Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected thereby. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal
amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company 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 therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Security.



     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of 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 Company in any Place of Payment where
the principal of and interest on this are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company 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, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.



A-3









 





     The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and
any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes 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
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.



     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company 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 Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.



     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or
in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced hereby or thereby, shall be had against
any promoter, as such, or against any past, present or future shareholder, officer or director, as
such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor,
under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment
or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and
released by the acceptance of this Security by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration
for the issue of the Notes.



     All capitalized terms used in this Security which are not defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.



     THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES, INCLUDING THIS SECURITY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.



     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
Procedures, the Company has caused “CUSIP” numbers to be printed on the Notes as a
convenience to the Holders of such Notes. No representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of such CUSIP numbers as printed on the Notes, and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers printed hereon.



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