SECOND AMENDMENT TO 
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT




This SECOND AMENDMENT TO THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) dated as of June 27, 2014, by and among Regency Centers, l.p., a limited partnership formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Borrower”), REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION, a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Florida (the “Parent”), each of the Lenders party hereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”).


WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and certain other parties have entered into that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 7, 2011 (as amended and as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”); and


WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent desire to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein;


NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


Section 1.  Specific Amendment to Credit Agreement.  Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:


(a)    Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended by restating the definition of “Capitalization Rate”, “LIBOR” and “LIBOR Market Index Rate”, in each case, in their entirety as follows: 


“Capitalization Rate” means 6.75%.


“LIBOR” means, with respect to any LIBOR Loan for any Interest Period, the rate of interest obtained by dividing (i) the rate of interest per annum determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in Dollars for a period equal to the applicable Interest Period which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any applicable successor page) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period by (ii) a percentage equal to 1 minus the stated maximum rate (stated as a decimal) of all reserves, if any, required to be maintained with respect to Eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities”) as specified in Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined or any applicable category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by an office of any Lender outside of the United States of America).  If, for any reason, the rate referred to in the preceding clause (i) does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any applicable successor page), then the rate to be used for such clause (i) shall be determined by the Administrative Agent to be the arithmetic average of the rate per annum at which deposits in Dollars would be offered by first class banks in the London interbank market to the Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period for a period equal to such Interest Period.  Any change in the maximum rate or reserves described in the preceding clause (ii) shall result in a change in LIBOR on the date on which such change in such maximum rate becomes effective.


“LIBOR Market Index Rate” means, for any day, LIBOR as of that day that would be applicable for a LIBOR Loan having a one-month Interest Period determined at approximately 10:00 a.m. Central time for such day (rather than 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period as otherwise provided in the definition of “LIBOR”), or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day.  The LIBOR Market Index Rate shall be determined on a daily basis.


(b)    The Credit Agreement is further amended by amending Section 6.1(w) in its entirety as follows:











(w)    OFAC and Anti-Corruption.  


(i)    None of the Parent, the Borrower, any of the other Loan Parties, any of the other Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, employees and directors, or, to the knowledge of the Parent, any other Affiliate of the Parent, any of such Affiliate’s officers, employees and directors: (A) is in violation of any Applicable Laws related to bribery or corruption, (B) is a person named on the list of Specially Designated Nationals or Blocked Persons maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) available at http://www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/index.shtml or as otherwise published from time to time; (C) is (x) an agency of the government of a country, (y) an organization controlled by a country, or (z) a person resident in a country that is subject to a sanctions program identified on the list maintained by OFAC and available at http://www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/index.shtml, or as otherwise published from time to time, as such program may be applicable to such agency, organization or person; or (D) derives any of its assets or operating income from investments in or transactions with any such country, agency, organization or person; and none of the proceeds from any Loan will be used (x) to finance any operations, investments or activities in, or make any payments to, any such country, agency, organization, or person or (y) in violation of any Applicable Laws related to bribery or corruption; and


(ii)    The Parent has implemented and will maintain in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Parent, the Borrower, their respective Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees with Applicable Laws related to bribery, corruption and sanctions programs.
