EQUITY ONE BOARD OF DIRECTORS



     2.1 Initial Equity One Board Representation. Immediately following the Effective Date
and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Equity One will cause the Equity One
Board to be increased by one member and Equity One shall cause the Equity One Board to appoint the
Chief Executive Officer of Parent to the Equity One Board, who shall serve until the 2011 annual
meeting of stockholders of Equity One (the “2011 Annual Meeting”) in accordance with the
organizational documents of Equity One. Subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.3, LIH
shall have the right to designate another individual reasonably acceptable to the Equity One Board
(provided that the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and any other officer of
Parent that would be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act if Parent were subject to
registration under the Exchange Act (a “Parent Section 16 Person”) shall be deemed acceptable for
purposes of this Section 2.1) if for any reason the Chief Executive Officer of Parent shall not be
willing or able to be appointed as the LIH Director as of the Effective Date, and Equity One shall
cause the Equity One Board to appoint such individual to the Equity One Board. Subsequent
nominations of the LIH Director for reelection to the Equity One
Board beginning at the 2011 Annual Meeting shall be governed by the procedures set forth in
Section 2.3.



     2.2 Subsequent Nominations. Subject to Section 2.4, for so long as (i) prior to the
Domestication Date Liberty Group Beneficially Owns, in the aggregate, a number of shares of EQY



6









 




Common Stock equal to 50% of the total number of shares of EQY Common Stock Beneficially Owned by
LIH as of the Closing (as such amount may be adjusted after the date of Closing for splits,
reclassifications, recapitalizations, recombinations and/or similar events or transactions
involving EQY Common Stock) (such number of shares to be agreed by the parties as of the Closing
and set forth on Schedule I to be attached to this Agreement) and (ii) on or after the
Domestication Date Liberty Group Beneficially Owns, in the aggregate, 3% or more of the total
outstanding EQY Common Stock (calculated on a Fully Diluted Basis) and until the Termination
Date, LIH shall have the right to nominate one candidate for election to the Equity One
Board at every annual meeting of the stockholders of Equity One in which directors are generally
elected, including without limitation, any adjournment or postponement thereof, and on any action
by written consent of the stockholders of Equity One relating to the election of directors
generally. For the avoidance of doubt, each threshold in subsection (i) and (ii) is a “low water
mark,” such that at such time as any threshold described in (i) or (ii) is not met, resulting in a
termination of any of the various rights and obligations of the parties set forth in this Section
2.2, the later acquisition of additional shares of EQY Common Stock by any member of Liberty Group
(whether through open market purchases or otherwise) will not reinstate such rights or obligations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the threshold set forth in subsection (ii) is
either unintentionally not satisfied by Liberty Group or not satisfied by Liberty Group as a result
of Equity One satisfying a redemption of EQY-CSC Class A Shares in cash pursuant to the Operating
Agreement, then Liberty Group shall have the right for a period of ninety (90) days after LIH has
actual knowledge of the occurrence of such event (the “Cure Period”), to buy additional shares of
EQY Common Stock in order to satisfy the ownership requirement set forth in subsection (ii) and
shall promptly notify Equity One when such ownership requirement has again been met; provided that
Liberty Group shall only have the right to cure an unintentional failure one time. For purposes of
this Section 2.2 and Section 2.4, LIH shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of any such
occurrence or non-satisfaction if at the time of the filing of each quarterly or annual report by
Equity One with the Commission, based on the number of shares outstanding in such report, Liberty
Group does not satisfy such ownership requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cure Period
will be extended by that number of days, if any, that Liberty Group is not permitted to buy
additional shares of EQY Common Stock due to the application of securities laws or Equity One’s
insider trading policies.




     2.3 Procedures. The following procedures shall be followed with respect to the
nomination of the LIH Director beginning with the 2011 Annual Meeting.



          (a) For purposes of whether LIH has a right to nominate an LIH Director pursuant to Section
2.2, Liberty Group’s Beneficial Ownership of shares of EQY Common Stock will be measured as of the
record date for such annual meeting or written consent.




          (b) No later than January 10 of each year beginning in 2011, LIH shall provide the Equity One
Board with LIH’s proposed nominee for LIH Director, along with any other information reasonably
requested by the Equity One Board to evaluate the
suitability of such candidate for directorship. With respect to any LIH proposed nominee, LIH
shall use its best efforts to ensure that any such nominee satisfies all stated criteria and
guidelines that are applicable for all director nominees of Equity One.




          (c) Within twenty (20) days of receiving the LIH proposed nominee for LIH Director in
accordance with Section 2.3(b), the Equity One Board or any authorized committee







7









 







thereof shall make a good faith and reasonable determination as to the suitability of LIH’s
proposed nominee for LIH Director and shall notify LIH of its determination in writing.




          (d) If the Equity One Board or any authorized committee thereof approves of LIH’s proposed
nominee for LIH Director, the Equity One Board shall nominate such LIH nominee and recommend that
the stockholders vote to elect such director at the next annual meeting of stockholders at which
directors will be generally elected.




          (e) If the Equity One Board or any authorized committee thereof raises a reasonable objection
to LIH’s proposed nominee for LIH Director, then LIH and the Equity One Board shall use their best
efforts to agree on the nominee for LIH Director, and if LIH and the Equity One Board cannot agree
on the nominee on or before the tenth (10th) day prior to the proposed filing of Equity
One’s annual proxy statement, then such proposed nominee for LIH Director shall not be nominated by
Equity One at such annual meeting.




          (f) If the LIH proposed nominee is not nominated (as described in Section 2.3(e)) or if
nominated, refuses or is unable to stand for election, then as soon as practicable after the annual
meeting, LIH and the Equity One Board shall use their best efforts to agree on the nominee for LIH
Director, which nominee shall be appointed as director by the Equity One Board promptly after such
agreement is reached.




          (g) The nomination, appointment or election of any LIH nominee to the Equity One Board, and
the inclusion of such LIH nominee in Equity One’s proxy materials, will be subject to such
candidate delivering to the Equity One Board at the time of nomination or appointment an
irrevocable resignation letter in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement offering to resign
effective as of the date that (i) Liberty Group no longer satisfies the ownership requirements set
forth in Section 2.2 (subject to Liberty Group’s ability to cure a failure in the manner provided
in Section 2.2), (ii) LIH’s board representation rights are canceled pursuant to Section 2.10 or
(iii) upon the failure of such LIH Director to qualify as a Parent Section 16 Person.




          (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Equity One agrees that any
Parent Section 16 Person shall be deemed qualified to serve as a LIH Director for all purposes of
this Section 2.3; provided, however in no event shall a Parent Section 16 Person be deemed
qualified if such individual is an employee, officer or director of any Competitor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if the LIH nominee is a Parent Section 16 Person, notice of
such proposed LIH nominee shall be given by LIH in accordance with Section 2.3(b).




     2.4 Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and without any
further action by Equity One, LIH’s right to nominate an individual to the Equity One Board shall
automatically terminate, and be of no further force and effect if
(i) Liberty Group no longer satisfies the ownership requirements set forth in Section 2.2
(subject to Liberty Group’s ability to cure a failure in the manner provided in Section 2.2) or
(ii) LIH’s board representation rights are terminated pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 8.4. LIH
shall promptly, but in any case within five (5) Business Days, provide notice to Equity One with a
copy to the Gazit Group if LIH has actual knowledge that Liberty Group has ceased to meet the
ownership requirements of Section 2.2. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of LIH’s rights
pursuant to clause (i) above shall not be effective until the end of the applicable Cure Period.



8









 





     2.5 Protections and Obligations.



          (a) The LIH Director, upon appointment or election to the Equity One Board, will be entitled
to the same benefits and protections, and subject to the same obligations, as applicable to all
other directors of Equity One, including, without limitation, protections and obligations regarding
customary liability insurance for directors and officers (including with respect to any period
following his or her service on the Equity One Board but only to the same extent as obligations, if
any, owed to all other directors of Equity One with respect to such period), confidentiality,
conflicts of interests, standards of conduct, trading and disclosure policies, director evaluation
process, director code of ethics, director share ownership guidelines, stock trading and
pre-approval policies, and other governance matters. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the provisions of the EQY Charter and EQY Bylaws related to liability limitation,
indemnity and advancement of expenses shall apply to the LIH Director to the same extent as applied
to any other member of the Equity One Board. Equity One agrees that it shall offer to enter into an
indemnification agreement with the LIH Director substantially similar to the indemnification
agreements then in effect with Equity One’s directors when the LIH Director becomes a member of the
Equity One Board.




          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Person who is from time to time a LIH
Director on the Equity One Board is intended to be a third party beneficiary pursuant to the last
two sentences of Section 2.5(a) and the obligations of Equity One pursuant to such sentences shall
be enforceable by each such person. This Section 2.5(b) shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.




     2.6 LIH Voting Obligation. LIH agrees, and will cause each member of Liberty Group, at
any meeting of stockholders of Equity One, or with respect to any action of such stockholders by
written consent, to cause all shares of EQY Common Stock and Class A Common Stock Beneficially
Owned by any member of Liberty Group or over which it has the power to direct the vote, to be voted
in favor of the election of each individual nominated to the Equity One Board to serve as a
director of Equity One (the “LIH Voting Obligation”) who is supported by the Gazit Group (each, a
“Director Nominee”). The support or non support by the Gazit Group of a Director Nominee will be
evidenced by written notice sent to LIH by Gazit Globe with a copy to Equity One. Gazit Globe
agrees to send such notice indicating its support or non support of each Director Nominee at least
ten (10) days prior to such meeting of the stockholders of Equity One, or to such action by written
consent, at which an election of directors is held. Except for LIH’s obligation to vote for a
Director Nominee in accordance with the LIH Voting Obligation hereunder and subject to Section 2.8,
LIH may vote shares of EQY Common Stock and Class A Common Stock Beneficially Owned by Liberty
Group at any meeting of the stockholders of Equity One (or with respect to any action of such
stockholders by written consent) in any manner it deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute
discretion.



     2.7 Gazit Voting Obligation. Each member of the Gazit Group executing this
Agreement agrees, and will cause Chaim Katzman and each of their respective controlled Affiliates
(other than Affiliates that have executed this Agreement), at any meeting of the stockholders of
Equity One, or with respect to any action by written consent of such stockholders, to cause all EQY
Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Gazit Group or over which it has the power to direct the
vote, to be voted in favor of the election of the LIH nominee to the Equity One Board approved by
the Equity One Board in accordance with Section 2.3 for so long as LIH has the right to nominate a



9









 




director
to the Equity One Board pursuant to this Article 2;
provided, however, that each member of
the Gazit Group will only be required to vote in favor of such approved LIH nominee if such LIH
nominee is qualified, in the Gazit Group’s reasonable judgment, to serve as a director of Equity
One (the “Gazit Voting Obligation”). The Gazit Group agrees that in the event that a Parent Section
16 Person is approved by the Equity One Board as the LIH nominee
pursuant to Section 2.3, then such
LIH nominee will be deemed qualified by the Gazit Group for purposes
of this Section 2.7.




     2.8 Standstill Provisions. Commencing on the date hereof and until the Termination
Date, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Equity One Board and Gazit Globe, LIH will, and
will cause each member of Liberty Group to: (i) with respect to Equity One or EQY Common Stock, not
make, engage, vote in favor of or in any way participate in or influence, directly or indirectly, a
hostile takeover or other similar action or any “solicitation,” (as such term is used in the proxy
rules of the Commission) by way of tender offer, exchange offer, merger or other business
combination, proxies, consents (whether or not relating to the election or removal of directors),
voting agreements, change of management or otherwise, except in connection with any of the
foregoing that is recommended or not opposed by the Equity One Board and that is not initiated by
Liberty Group, provided, however, that the presence of the director designated by LIH on the Equity
One Board will not violate this Section 2.8, and notwithstanding this Section 2.8, such board
member may vote and take such other actions as he or she determines is appropriate in accordance
with the exercise of his or her duties as a director and provided further that any member of
Liberty Group may abstain from voting on any matter described in this Section 2.8 and, subject to
Section 3.4, may tender shares of EQY Common Stock Beneficially Owned by such member in connection
with any tender offer or exchange offer without violation of this Section 2.8, (ii) except as
provided for in this Agreement, not seek, alone or in concert with others, election or appointment
to, or representation on, or nominate or propose the nomination of any candidate to, the Equity One
Board, (iii) not initiate, propose or otherwise “solicit” (as such term is used in the proxy rules
of the Commission) stockholders of Equity One for the approval of stockholder proposals made to
Equity One whether made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 or Rule 14a-4 under the Exchange Act or otherwise,
or cause or encourage or attempt to cause or encourage any other person to initiate any such
stockholder proposal, regardless of its purpose, and (iv) not purchase or cause to be purchased or
otherwise acquire or agree to acquire, or become or agree to become the Beneficial Owner of, any
other securities issued by Equity One, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for EQY
Common Stock (other than EQY-CSC Class A Shares) or any other equity securities of Equity One, if
in any such case immediately after the taking of such action Liberty Group would, in the aggregate,
Beneficially Own in excess of the greater of (A) a number of shares of voting stock of Equity One
equal to 19.9% of the shares of Equity One that are outstanding as of the Closing (as such amount
may be adjusted after the date of Closing for splits, reclassifications, recapitalizations,
recombinations and/or similar events or transactions) (such number of shares to be agreed by the
parties as of the Closing and set forth on Schedule I to be attached to this Agreement) or (B) 15%
of the EQY Common Stock outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis from time to time (the “Ownership
Cap”), which Ownership Cap will automatically be reduced from time to time, if Liberty Group
sells any EQY Common Stock, to a new Ownership Cap that is equal to Liberty Group’s then
Beneficial Ownership percentage, in the aggregate, of the shares of EQY Common Stock then
outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis; provided, however that in all events Liberty Group may
Beneficially Own or acquire up to 9.9% of the shares of EQY Common Stock then outstanding on a
Fully Diluted Basis and Liberty Group may acquire shares in order to satisfy the ownership
requirements set forth in Section 2.2(ii) during any Cure Period; provided, however in all events
any acquisition of EQY Common Stock by Liberty Group in addition to those shares of EQY Common



10









 




Stock acquired pursuant to the Subscription Agreement or issuable upon the redemption of EQY-CSC
Class A Shares acquired by LIH at Closing (the “Additional Shares”) may only be acquired, directly
or indirectly, through a U.S. controlled entity.




     2.9 LIH Director Vacancy. Subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.3, LIH
shall have the right to designate a replacement LIH Director reasonably acceptable to the Equity
One Board (provided that any Parent Section 16 Person shall be deemed acceptable for purposes of
this Section 2.9) for any LIH Director appointed or elected to the Equity One Board in accordance
with this Article 2 upon such LIH Director’s death, incapacity, retirement, disqualification,
removal from office, or resignation (other than a resignation pursuant to Section 2.3(g) hereof)
and Equity One shall cause the Equity One Board to appoint such designee to the Equity One Board.



     2.10 No Transfer of Equity One Board Representation Rights. The rights of LIH set
forth in this Article 2 are personal to LIH and may not be transferred or assigned (whether by
operation of law or otherwise, including, without limitation, in connection with or by way of, (i)
a Change of Control of Parent and/or LIH or (ii) a Board Change). In addition, for purposes of this
Section 2.10, an attempted assignment shall be deemed to have occurred upon the entry by LIH or
Parent, or by any Person entitled to or able to directly or indirectly control LIH or Parent, into
any agreement (other than this Agreement or the irrevocable proxy described in Section 2.11)
obligating LIH or Parent to vote the shares of EQY Common Stock and the Class A Common Stock, which
are subject to the LIH Voting Obligation, in any particular manner or giving any Person (other than
Equity One, a member of Liberty Group or a member of the Gazit Group) the power to vote or direct
the voting of such shares. Upon any such attempted transfer or assignment, all rights of LIH and
all obligations of Equity One and the Gazit Group, as the case may be, under this Article 2 shall
immediately terminate.



     2.11 Irrevocable Proxy. As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement
(but in any event within two (2) Business Days hereafter), Equity One, LIH and the Gazit Group
members that are a party to this Agreement will exchange executed signature pages to the proxy
attached hereto as Exhibit C with respect solely to the Gazit Voting Obligation, Gazit Group’s
obligation pursuant to Section 6.2 and the LIH Voting Obligation as applicable. The irrevocable
proxy of each party shall automatically terminate on the date the Gazit Voting Obligation and LIH
Voting Obligation terminate pursuant to Section 7.1.



ARTICLE 3




RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER



     3.1 First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if at any time
one or more members of Liberty Group desires to sell all or any part of its EQY-CSC Class A Shares,
such member or members of Liberty Group shall first deliver a written
offer (the “DRS Sale Offer”)
to sell any such EQY-CSC Class A Shares (the “First Offered DR Shares”) to Equity One (the “Equity
One DRS ROFO”). For the avoidance of doubt, LIH may only submit a DRS Sale Offer if it has a good
faith
intention to sell such EQY-CSC Class A Shares to a third party in an arm’s length transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, LIH shall not be obligated to sell all or any part of the First
Offered DR Shares to a third party other than to Equity One or the Gazit Group, as the case may be,
in accordance with this Article 3 and Article 4. At the same time the DRS Sale Offer is delivered
to Equity One, such member or members of Liberty Group shall submit such DRS Sale



11









 




Offer to the Gazit Group, which DRS Sale Offer shall provide that if Equity One does not make an
election to purchase the First Offered DR Shares then the Gazit Group shall have the right to
purchase such First Offered DR Shares in accordance with the terms herein. The DRS Sale Offer shall
disclose in reasonable detail the amount of First Offered DR Shares proposed to be sold, the price
per First Offered DR Share (the “DRS Purchase Price”) and any other material terms and conditions
relating to the proposed sale.




     3.2 Election.



          (a) If Equity One desires to purchase all, or a portion of, of the First Offered DR Shares,
Equity One shall communicate in writing its election to purchase the First Offered DR Shares to LIH
within fourteen (14) Business Days of the date the DRS Sale Offer was made (the “Equity One Offer
Period”). Such communication shall, when taken in conjunction with the DRS Sale Offer, be deemed to
constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of such
First Offered DR Shares to Equity One on the terms and conditions contained in the DRS Sale Offer.
The failure of Equity One to provide written notice of acceptance within the Equity One Offer
Period shall be deemed a rejection by Equity One of the DRS Sale Offer.




          (b) Election by the Gazit Group. If Equity One does not communicate in writing its election to
purchase all of the First Offered DR Shares within the Equity One Offer Period, LIH shall provide
the Gazit Group with written notice to that effect within five (5) Business Days after the
expiration of the Equity One Offer Period (the “Notice of Availability”) and the Gazit Group shall
have the right to purchase all or a portion of such First Offered DR Shares not purchased by Equity
One (the “Gazit DRS ROFO”). If the Gazit Group desires to purchase all or a portion of the First
Offered DR Shares not purchased by Equity One, the Gazit Group shall communicate in writing its
election to purchase to LIH, which communication shall be given to LIH within fourteen (14)
Business Days of the date of delivery to the Gazit Group of the Notice of Availability (the “Gazit
Offer Period”). Such communication shall, when taken in conjunction with the DRS Sale Offer and the
Notice of Availability, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement
for the sale and purchase of such First Offered DR Shares on the terms and conditions contained in
the DRS Sale Offer. The failure of the Gazit Group to provide written notice of acceptance within
the Gazit Offer Period shall be deemed a rejection by the Gazit Group of the DRS Sale Offer.




          (c) Sales of the First Offered DR Shares to be sold to Equity One or the Gazit Group, as the
case may be, pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be made at the offices of Equity One as soon as
reasonably practicable following the date the DRS Sale Offer was made but in any event within ten
(10) Business Days after the end of the Equity One Offer Period, in the case of a sale to Equity
One, or within ten (10) Business Days after the end of the Gazit Offer Period, in the case of a
sale to Gazit Group, or such other place and date mutually agreed upon by the parties to the sale.
Such sales shall be effected by such member or members of Liberty Group’s delivery to Equity One or
the Gazit Group, as the case may be, of a certificate or certificates or other instrument
evidencing the First Offered DR Shares to be purchased, free of encumbrances, duly endorsed
for transfer to Equity One or the Gazit Group, as the case may be, against payment in cash to such
member or members of Liberty Group of the DRS Purchase Price times the number of First Offered DR
Shares purchased by Equity One or the Gazit Group, as the case may be.







12









 








     3.3 No Election. If all of the First Offered DR Shares are not purchased by Equity One
or the Gazit Group pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, the First Offered DR Shares not so purchased
may be sold by such member or members of Liberty Group to another proposed transferee at any time
within 120 days after the end of the Gazit Offer Period, provided, that the purchase price payable
by the proposed transferee for such First Offered DR Shares shall equal at least ninety five (95%)
of the DRS Purchase Price, subject to Equity One’s Right of First Refusal pursuant to the
provisions of Article 4. Any First Offered DR Shares not sold within such 120-day period shall
continue to be subject to the requirements of the Equity One DRS ROFO and the Gazit DRS ROFO set
forth in this Article 3 and the Right of First Refusal set forth in Article 4.



     3.4 Exclusive Gazit Shares Right of First Offer.



          (a) Shares Sale Offer Notice. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including
without limitation Sections 3.4(f), 3.5 and 7.2 hereof, if at any time LIH desires to sell all or
any part of (i) any shares of EQY Common Stock received in redemption for EQY-CSC Class A Shares,
(ii) any shares of Equity One Common Stock received pursuant to the Subscription Agreement or (iii)
the share of Class A Common Stock ((i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, the “EQY Shares”), LIH shall
first deliver a written offer to the Gazit Group (a “Shares Sale Offer Notice”); provided that this
Section 3.4 shall not apply to Excluded Shares. The Shares Sale Offer Notice shall disclose in
reasonable detail the amount of EQY Shares proposed to be sold (the “First Offered EQY Shares”),
the price per EQY Share (the “Share Price”) and any other material terms and conditions relating to
the proposed sale. For the avoidance of doubt, LIH may not submit a Shares Sale Offer Notice unless
it has a good faith intention of selling such First Offered EQY Shares to a third party in an arm’s
length transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LIH shall not be obligated to sell all or any
part of the First Offered EQY Shares to a third party other than to the Gazit Group in accordance
with this Article 3 if it delivers a Shares First Offer Election.




          (b) Shares Election. At any time during the applicable period described in Section 3.4(c)
following the date the Shares Sale Offer Notice is received by the Gazit Group (the “Shares Offer
Period”), the Gazit Group may make an election (the “Gazit Share ROFO” and together with the Gazit
DRS ROFO, the “Gazit ROFOs”) to purchase all or a portion of the First Offered EQY Shares by
delivering a written notice of its election to purchase the First Offered EQY Shares to LIH (the
“Shares First Offer Election”). Such communication shall, when taken in conjunction with the Shares
Sale Offer Notice, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for
the sale and purchase of such First Offered EQY Shares on the terms and conditions contained in the
Shares Sale Offer Notice.




          (c) Shares Offer Period. The period of time in which the Gazit Group must communicate in
writing its election to purchase all or a portion of the First Offered EQY Shares shall be as
follows:




               (i) If the First Offered EQY Shares have an aggregate value of $30 million or less based
on
the Market Price as of the day before the Shares Sale Offer Notice is delivered (or if delivered
after Market Close, as of the day of such delivery) to the Gazit Group, five (5) Business Days
after receipt by the Gazit Group of the Shares Sale Offer Notice; and



               (ii) If the First Offered EQY Shares have an aggregate value of greater than $30 million
based
on the Market Price as of the day before the Shares Sale Offer Notice is



13









 




delivered (or if delivered after Market Close, as of the day of such delivery) to the Gazit Group,
ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Gazit Group of the Shares Sale Offer Notice.




          (d) Shares Procedure. In the event the Gazit Group elects to purchase all or a portion of the
First Offered EQY Shares, sales of such First Offered EQY Shares to be sold to the Gazit Group
pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be made at the offices of Equity One as soon as reasonably
practicable after delivery of the Shares First Offer Election to Liberty Group but in any event
within ten (10) Business Days thereafter or such other place or date mutually agreed upon by LIH
and the Gazit Group. Such sales shall be effected by LIH’s delivery to the Gazit Group of a
certificate or certificates or other instrument evidencing the First Offered EQY Shares to be
purchased, free of encumbrances, duly endorsed for transfer to the Gazit Group against payment in
cash to LIH of the Share Price times the number of First Offered EQY Shares by the Gazit Group.




          (e) No Shares Election. Subject to provisions of Section 3.4(f), if the Gazit Group fails to
make a Shares First Offer Election during the applicable Shares Offer Period, then the First
Offered EQY Shares may be sold by LIH at any time within 120 days after the termination of the
applicable Shares Offer Period to any other Person; provided, that the purchase price for the First
Offered EQY Shares shall equal at least ninety five percent (95%) of the Share Price (the “Minimum
Price”). Any First Offered EQY Shares not sold (x) within such 120-day period or (y) for a price
equal to or greater than the Minimum Price shall continue to be subject to the Gazit Share ROFO.




          (f) Qualified ROFO Offering. If Liberty Group desires to sell the First Offered EQY Shares in
a Qualified ROFO Offering, all of the following procedures shall apply to the Gazit Share ROFO:




               (i) The Minimum Price limitation shall not be applicable;



               (ii) LIH shall indicate in the Shares Sale Offer Notice (the “First Notice”)
that it is
electing on behalf of Liberty Group to engage in a Qualified ROFO Offering;



               (iii) No earlier than ten (10) Business Days after delivering the First Notice, LIH shall
deliver to the Gazit Group a notice (the “Second Notice”) setting forth the ROFO Discount that the
underwriters have agreed to apply in such Qualified ROFO Offering. The “ROFO Discount” shall be
comprised of an amount equal to (x) the underwriting commission plus (y) the assumed discount to
the Market Price at the time the underwriter will price the Qualified ROFO Offering;



               (iv) The Share Price payable by the Gazit Group shall be no greater than an amount equal to
(x) the Market Price as of the day before the Second Notice is delivered (or if delivered after
Market Close, as of the day of such delivery) to the Gazit Group less (y) the ROFO Discount;



               (v) If the Gazit Group does not exercise all or a portion of the Gazit Share ROFO, the
offering price in connection with the Qualified ROFO Offering for the First Offered EQY Shares not
purchased by the Gazit Group shall be an amount equal to (x) an amount that is not less than the
Market Price at the time the underwriter prices the Qualified ROFO Offering less (y) an amount that
is not in excess of the ROFO Discount (the “QRO Minimum Price”);



14









 






               (vi) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.4(c), the period of time in which the Gazit
Group must communicate in writing its election to purchase all or a portion of the First Offered
EQY Shares subject to a Qualified ROFO Offering shall be by the end of the Business Day following
the Business Day on which the Gazit Group receives the Second Notice (the “Qualified ROFO Offering
Election Period”); provided, however, that if the Gazit Group receives the Second Notice after
12:00 PM, New York local time, the Second Notice shall be deemed to be received on the next
Business Day. For example, if the Second Notice is received at 11:00 AM on Monday, the Gazit Group
must respond by 5:30 PM on Tuesday. If the Second Notice is received at 1:00 PM on Monday, the
Gazit Group must respond by 5:30 PM on Wednesday;



               (vii) The Gazit Group may not purchase a portion of the First Offered EQY Shares if the
remaining portion of First Offered EQY Shares available for sale by Liberty Group would not equal
at least $50 million based on the Market Price as of the day before the Shares Sale Offer Notice
was delivered (or if delivered after Market Close, as of the day of such delivery);



               (viii) Equity One and LIH shall in good faith request that the underwriters in such Qualified
ROFO Offering permit the Gazit Group (should it not exercise the Gazit Share ROFO) to enter an
order in connection with such Qualified ROFO Offering and to use their reasonable efforts to
include the Gazit Group in the “book” being assembled by the underwriters;



               (ix) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.4(e), any First Offered EQY Shares not sold
(x) in a Qualified ROFO Offering launched within the ten (10) Business Day period following the
expiration of the Qualified ROFO Offering Election Period or (y) at price equal to or greater than
the QRO Minimum Price shall continue to be subject to the Gazit Share
ROFO; provided, however, that
if the First Offered EQY Shares are required to be resubmitted to the Gazit Share ROFO because the
final price in the offering is below the QRO Minimum Price, LIH may provide a substitute Second
Notice to Gazit Group setting forth the new ROFO Discount and Gazit Group shall have the period of
time set forth in Section 3.4(f)(vi) in order to respond to such Second Notice; and



               (x) In
the event that any provision of Section 3.4(a) through
Section 3.4(e) conflicts with
this Section 3.4(f), the provisions set forth in this
Section 3.4(f) shall control.



     3.5
Limitations. The rights of first offer of Equity One pursuant to Section 3.1 will
not apply to sales or offers to sell by a member of Liberty Group (i) to another member of Liberty
Group or (ii) pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer, merger or other similar transaction
approved or not opposed by the Equity One Board and no DRS Sale Offer need be delivered or provided
to Equity One in connection therewith. The Gazit ROFOs shall not apply to sales or offers to sell
by a member of Liberty Group (i) to another member of Liberty Group, (ii) pursuant to a tender
offer, exchange offer, merger or other similar transaction approved or not opposed by the Equity
One Board or (iii) that
in the aggregate do not exceed, on an annual basis, 2% of the shares of EQY Common Stock
outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis (the “Excluded Shares”) and no DRS Sale Offer or Shares Sale
Offer Notice, as applicable, need be delivered or provided to the Gazit Group in connection
therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, a redemption of EQY-CSC Class A Shares in accordance with
the terms of the Operating Agreement shall not be considered a sale for purposes of, or otherwise
subject to, this Article 3. In addition, this Article 3 shall not apply to the sale of EQY-CSC
Class A Shares or shares of EQY Common Stock in connection with any



15









 




Change-in-Control Transaction or Privatization Transaction, each as defined in the Operating
Agreement.




ARTICLE 4




RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL



     4.1 Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each member of
Liberty Group hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to Equity One a right to purchase all
or any portion of EQY-CSC Class A Shares that Equity One or the Gazit Group, as the case may be,
did not elect to purchase pursuant to Section 3.2, that LIH may propose to transfer to a Competitor
(“Proposed Competitor Transfer”), on the same terms and conditions (including price and form of
consideration), as those offered to the prospective transferee (the “Right of First Refusal”).



     4.2 Notice. LIH must deliver a written notice to Equity One (“Transfer Notice”) not
later than five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Proposed Competitor Transfer.
The Transfer Notice shall disclose in reasonable detail the amount of EQY-CSC Class A Shares
proposed to be transferred to a Competitor (the “Transfer Shares”), the terms and conditions of the
proposed sale, which shall include the proposed price (the “Transfer Share Price”), the identity of
the prospective transferee (the “Proposed Competitor Transferee”) and any other material terms and
conditions relating to the Proposed Competitor Transfer.



     4.3 Election. If Equity One desires to purchase all or any portion of the Transfer
Shares, Equity One shall communicate in writing its election (the “Transfer Election”) to purchase
the Transfer Shares, which communication shall state the number of Transfer Shares that Equity One
desires to purchase and shall be given to LIH within fourteen (14) Business Days of the date of the
Transfer Notice (the “Transfer Election Period”). Such communication shall, when taken in
conjunction with the Transfer Notice, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally binding and
enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of such Transfer Shares on the terms and conditions
contained in the Transfer Notice. Sales of the Transfer Shares to be sold to Equity One pursuant to
this Article 4 shall be made at the offices of Equity One as soon as reasonably practicable after
delivery of the Transfer Election but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the end of
the Transfer Election Period. Such sales shall be effected by LIH’s delivery to Equity One of a
certificate or certificates or other instrument evidencing the Transfer Shares purchased by it,
free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, duly endorsed for transfer to Equity One,
against payment in cash to LIH of the Transfer Share Price times the number of Transfer Shares
purchased by Equity One.



     4.4 No Election. If Equity One does not purchase all of the Transfer Shares or Equity
One does not timely deliver a Transfer Election during the Transfer Election Period in accordance
with Section 4.3, the Transfer Shares not so purchased may be sold by LIH to the Proposed
Competitor Transferee on substantially the same terms and conditions contained in the Transfer
Notice provided, that the purchase price for the Transfer Shares equal at least ninety five percent
(95%) of the Transfer Share Price. Any
Transfer Shares not sold to the Proposed Competitor Transferee within 120 days of the date of
the Transfer Notice shall continue to be subject to the requirements of the Equity One DRS ROFO and
the Gazit DRS ROFO set forth in Article 3 and the Right of First Refusal set forth in this Article
4.

ARTICLE 5




TAG ALONG RIGHTS



     5.1 LIH Tag-Along Rights. In the event one or more members of the Gazit Group proposes
to sell in a bona fide arm’s length transaction or series of transactions with a third party or
third parties (other than pursuant to open-market transactions at then-currently available market
prices, a tender offer or any other transaction in which all Equity One stockholders (including the
Gazit Group) are offered the same type and amount of per share consideration) a number of shares of
EQY Common Stock that would, upon consummation of such transaction, result in a “change of control”
(such transaction, a “Gazit Sale”), such member or members of the Gazit Group shall first deliver a
written offer, disclosing in reasonable detail the shares proposed to be sold in the proposed Gazit
Sale (the “Subject Shares”), the terms and conditions, including price, of the proposed Gazit Sale,
the identity of the prospective transferee (the “Proposed Gazit Transferee”) and any other material
terms and conditions relating to the proposed Gazit Sale (the “Gazit Offer”) to LIH to permit
Liberty Group to participate on a pro-rata basis (based upon the Gazit Group’s and Liberty Group’s
respective aggregate relative Beneficial Ownership of Equity One vis-a-vis one another until such
time as the Alony-Hetz Stockholders Agreement (as it may be amended or extended from time to time)
is amended to permit Liberty Group and Alony-Hetz to participate on a pro-rata basis, at which time
this Agreement will be automatically deemed to be modified such that (x) all references to
“pro-rata basis” in this Article 5 will be based upon the Gazit Group’s, Liberty Group’s and
Alony-Hetz’s respective aggregate relative Beneficial Ownership of Equity One vis-à-vis one
another, assuming all are participating, and (y) where Liberty Group’s respective aggregate
relative Beneficial Ownership of Equity One is less vis-à-vis Alony-Hetz, all references to Liberty
Group’s “pro rata basis” in Article 5 shall be equal to Alony-Hetz’s “pro-rata basis,” assuming all
are participating) in the proposed Gazit Sale, and on the same terms and conditions (the “LIH Tag
Rights”). For the avoidance of doubt, where Liberty Group’s respective aggregate relative
Beneficial Ownership of Equity One is less vis-à-vis Alony-Hetz, Liberty Group will be entitled to
include in such Gazit Sale up to the maximum number of shares of EQY Common Stock that Alony-Hetz
would be entitled to include in such sale assuming Alony-Hetz was participating at the maximum
level. The Gazit Offer will be held open for not less than ten (10) Business Days (the “Offer
Period”), during which LIH may accept, in whole or in part, by delivering written notice to Gazit
Globe stating the number of shares of EQY Common Stock to be sold by Liberty Group. Such written
notice from LIH shall, when taken in conjunction with the Gazit Offer, be deemed to constitute a
valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of such shares of EQY
Common Stock on the terms and conditions contained in the Gazit Offer. The
failure of LIH to provide written notice of acceptance to Gazit Globe within the Offer Period will
be deemed a rejection by LIH of the Gazit Offer. Prior to the earlier of (x) the end of the Offer
Period or (y) the acceptance or rejection by LIH of the Gazit Offer, the Gazit Group shall not
complete any sale of shares of EQY Common Stock to the Proposed Gazit Transferee. In the event LIH
elects to participate in the Gazit Sale by delivering written notice to Gazit Globe during the
Offer Period, then following expiration of the Offer Period and for a 120-day period thereafter,
members of the Gazit Group may sell or otherwise transfer Subject Shares to the Proposed Gazit
Transferee for consideration equal to at least ninety five percent (95%) of the purchase price
contained in the Gazit Offer delivered to LIH and otherwise on terms and conditions not
substantially more favorable to the Proposed Gazit Transferee (or substantially less favorable to
Liberty Group) than those contained in the Gazit Offer; provided that, the Proposed Gazit
Transferee shall simultaneously purchase the number of shares of EQY Common Stock as calculated
above from Liberty Group on



17









 




terms and conditions no more onerous than (and in all cases substantially similar to) those
applicable to the sale of the Subject Shares to the Proposed Gazit Transferee by members of the
Gazit Group; provided further, that the Gazit Group, on the one hand, and Liberty Group, on the
other hand, shall each only be liable at a maximum for any indemnification or other liabilities to
such Proposed Gazit Transferee in an amount equal to that proportion of total liabilities that
equals the proportion of the total consideration received by members of Liberty Group relative to
the total consideration received by members of the Gazit Group in such sales to the Proposed Gazit
Transferee. In the event that LIH does not elect to exercise its LIH Tag Rights pursuant to this
Section 5.1, then following expiration of the Offer Period and for a 120-day period thereafter,
members of the Gazit Group may sell or otherwise transfer the Subject Shares to the Proposed Gazit
Transferee for consideration not greater than one hundred and five percent (105%) of the purchase
price contained in the Gazit Offer delivered to LIH and otherwise on terms and conditions not
substantially more favorable to the selling members of Gazit Group than those contained in the
Gazit Offer. Any Subject Shares not sold to the Proposed Gazit Transferee within 120 days of the
termination of the Offer Period shall again be subject to the LIH Tag Rights pursuant to this
Article 5.




     5.2 Limitations. The LIH Tag Rights shall not apply to any shares of EQY Common Stock
pledged by any member of the Gazit Group as security for a bona fide loan from a Qualified Lender
(any such currently or future pledged shares, the “Pledged Shares”) that are foreclosed upon or
sold by the Qualified Lender.



     5.3 Defined Terms. For purposes of this Article V, (i) “change of control” shall mean
a transaction that would result in a person or group of persons (as defined in Section 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act) other than the Gazit Group becoming the Beneficial Owner of 30% or more of the
outstanding shares of EQY Common Stock and (ii) “third party” will not include any entity in which
the Gazit Group Beneficially Owns 30% or more of the outstanding stock (or interests) of such
entity and is the largest stockholder (or holder of interests).



ARTICLE 6




CHARTER AMENDMENT



     6.1 Equity One Charter.



          (a) If not done earlier, Equity One shall include in the proxy statement filed by Equity One
with the Commission in connection with the 2011 Annual Meeting a proposal seeking stockholder
approval of the Amended EQY Charter. Nothing herein shall prohibit Equity One from seeking the
approval of any other amendments to the EQY Charter at the same time it seeks approval of the
foreign ownership provisions set forth in the Amended EQY Charter, provided that the foreign
ownership provisions set forth in the Amended EQY Charter are included therein and that such other
amendments, if any, do not have the effect of altering or adversely affecting the foreign ownership
provisions set forth in the Amended EQY Charter. The Equityholders acknowledge and
agree that Equity One may, but is under no obligation to, hold a special meeting to seek
approval of the Amended EQY Charter.




          (b) Until the Foreign Limitation Cut-Off Date (as defined in the Amended EQY Charter), Equity
One agrees not to propose or submit to a vote of stockholders any amendment to







18









 







the Amended EQY Charter which would have the effect in any way of altering or adversely affecting
the foreign ownership provisions set forth in the Amended EQY Charter.




     6.2 Gazit Group Obligation. Each member of the Gazit Group executing this Agreement
agrees, and will cause Chaim Katzman and each of their respective controlled Affiliates (other than
Affiliates that have executed this Agreement), at any meeting of the stockholders of Equity One, or
with respect to any action by written consent of such stockholders, to cause all EQY Common Stock
Beneficially Owned by the Gazit Group or over which it has the power to direct the vote, to be
voted in favor of the proposal to adopt the Amended EQY Charter.



ARTICLE 7




TERMINATION OF RIGHTS; APPLICATION TO FUTURE PURCHASES; TREATMENT

OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK



     7.1 Termination of Rights. The LIH Tag Rights, the Gazit Voting Obligation, the Gazit
ROFOs and the LIH Voting Obligation will automatically terminate on the earliest of: (i) the
Termination Date; (ii) at such time as the Gazit Group, in the aggregate (together with other
persons or a group of persons considered to be acting in concert with the Gazit Group),
Beneficially Owns less than 20% of the outstanding shares of EQY Common Stock on a Fully Diluted
Basis (it being understood that the LIH Tag Rights apply to the transaction in which the Gazit
Group sells EQY Common Stock that brings the Gazit Group’s Beneficial Ownership of EQY Common Stock
below such threshold), (iii) at such time as Liberty Group in the aggregate Beneficially Owns less
than 3%, on a Fully Diluted Basis, of the outstanding shares of EQY Common Stock. For the avoidance
of doubt, each threshold in subsection (ii) and (iii) is a “low water mark,” such that at such time
as any threshold described in (ii) or (iii) is met, resulting in a termination of any of the
various rights and obligations of the parties, the later acquisition of additional EQY Common Stock
(whether through open market purchases or otherwise) will not reinstate such rights or obligations.



     7.2 Future Purchases. Subject to Sections 2.8 and 7.1 of this Agreement, if Liberty
Group acquires Additional Shares, such Additional Shares will be subject to (or benefit from) the
LIH Tag Rights, Gazit ROFOs, LIH Voting Obligation and Section 2.8. In addition, as provided in
Section 2.8, Liberty Group may only acquire Additional Shares, directly or indirectly, through a
U.S. controlled entity.



     7.3 Class A Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and LIH hereby agree and
acknowledge that upon any transfer of the Class A Common Stock (even if transferred in accordance
with this Agreement), the Class A Common Stock shall automatically convert as provided in the
Articles Supplementary into shares of EQY Common Stock.



ARTICLE 8




MISCELLANEOUS



     8.1 Term. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall
terminate on the Termination Date; provided, however, that this Agreement will terminate upon the



19









 




termination of the Contribution Agreement pursuant to its terms prior to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby.




     8.2 Request for Information; Covenants



          (a) Each of the Gazit Group and Liberty Group shall promptly provide to the other any
information reasonably requested by the other party that is required in order for the applicable
requesting party to fulfill its reporting obligations under applicable securities laws, including
without limitation information regarding the amount of EQY Common Stock Beneficially Owned by each
member of Liberty Group or the Gazit Group, as the case may be, and over which each member of
Liberty Group or the Gazit Group, as the case may be, has the power to vote.




          (b) Each of Gazit Globe, MGN, 1995, America, Silver Maple and Ficus hereby agrees, jointly and
severally, to cause Chaim Katzman and each of their respective controlled Affiliates to comply with
any and all obligations of the Gazit Group under this Agreement and shall be responsible for any
breach by Chaim Katzman or such respective controlled Affiliates of the terms of this Agreement.
The members of the Gazit Group, with the exception of Gazit Globe, that are party hereto are the
direct holders of all shares of EQY Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Gazit Group.




          (c) The members of Liberty Group that are party hereto will be the direct holders of all
shares of EQY Common Stock Beneficially Owned by Liberty Group as of the Closing and Liberty Group
does not Beneficially Own, and will not Beneficially Own prior to the Closing, any EQY Common
Stock.




     8.3 Restrictive Legends. In order to enforce the restrictions on transfer set forth in
Articles 3 and 4 of this Agreement, Equity One shall have the right to place restrictive legends on
the certificates representing the EQY Shares and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect
to such securities. In the event that any of the EQY Shares cease to be subject to the restrictions
on transfer set forth in Articles 3 and 4 of this Agreement, Equity One shall, upon the written
request of Liberty Group, issue new certificates or other instruments representing such shares,
which shall not contain such legends and shall cause its transfer agent to make any necessary
notations in the share register book of Equity One to reflect the removal of such legends; provided
Liberty Group surrenders to Equity One the previously issued certificates or other instruments, if
any.



     8.4 Assignment of Rights.



          (a) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by
any party hereto without the prior consent of the other parties, provided, however, that (i) the
Gazit Group or any member thereof may assign this Agreement in connection with the pledge of any
Pledged Shares to a Qualified Lender (or affiliated group of Qualified Lenders) that acquires or
pledges Pledged Shares that represent (as of the date of such assignment) 20% or more of the
outstanding shares
of EQY Common Stock (a “Control Block”), and (ii) upon any subsequent sale of the Pledged
Shares following a foreclosure, the rights of the Gazit Group, or any member thereof, under this
Agreement may be assigned to any entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section
14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision) that acquires a Control Block; provided
further, that LIH may assign its rights or obligations hereunder to any other member of Liberty
Group, except that the Equity Board representation right set forth in







20









 







Article 2 may only be assigned to Parent or another wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and such
board representation right will immediately terminate in the event any such assignee is no longer a
wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.




          (b) Any successor or permitted assignee of any Equityholder, shall deliver to Equity One as a
condition to any transfer or assignment, a counterpart signature page hereto pursuant to which such
successor or permitted assignee shall confirm their agreement to be subject to and bound by all of
the provisions set forth in this Agreement that were applicable to the predecessor or assignor of
such successor or permitted assignee.




          (c) Except in connection with an assignment by Equity One by operation of law or otherwise to
an acquirer of Equity One, (and subject to the terms of the Operating Agreement) the rights and
obligations of Equity One hereunder may not be assigned under any circumstances.




          (d) Promptly following the receipt by any member of the Gazit Group of a notice from any
Qualified Lender exercising its right to foreclose under any loan pursuant to which the Gazit Group
has pledged Pledged Shares to such Qualified Lender pursuant to Section 8.4(a) above (a
“Foreclosure Notice”), Gazit Globe agrees to provide a copy of the Foreclosure Notice to LIH and
Equity One; provided, however, that neither LIH nor Equity One shall share any information
contained in or related to the Foreclosure Notice with any Person other than the other members of
Liberty Group, Equity One and their respective agents and representatives, who shall also keep such
information confidential.




     8.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed
entirely within such State, without regard to the conflicts of law principles of such State.



     8.6 Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute

include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular where appropriate, and words of any
gender shall include the other gender when appropriate. The headings of the Sections contained in

Agreement and not merely the Section in which such words appear. If the last day for performance of
any obligation hereunder is not a

period or date shall be extended to the next Business Day.



     8.8 Representatives. Any decisions, consents, agreements, notices or communications
required in connection with this Agreement by any member of the Gazit Group shall be made, written

     8.10 Entire Agreement; No Amendment. This Agreement, when taken with the other
Transaction Documents, represents the entire agreement among each of the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof. It is expressly understood that no representations,
warranties, guarantees or other statements shall be valid or binding upon a party unless expressly
set forth in this Agreement. It is further understood that any prior agreements or understandings
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof have merged in this Agreement, which
alone fully expresses all agreements of the parties hereto as to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all such prior agreements and understandings. This Agreement may not be amended,
modified or otherwise altered except by a written agreement signed by the party hereto against whom
enforcement is sought. It is agreed that no obligation under this Agreement which by its terms is
to be performed or continue to be performed after Closing and no provision of this Agreement which
is expressly to survive Closing shall merge upon Closing, but shall survive Closing.



     8.11 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable,
this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement, unless such severance and
construction would materially alter the parties’ intent with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.



     8.12 Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the
parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and
deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party
may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.



     8.13 Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of (a) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and (b) the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any suit, action
or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each
party agrees to commence any such action, suit or proceeding either in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York or if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be
brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the Supreme Court of the State of New



23









 




York, New York County. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the
laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby in (i) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, or (ii) the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and hereby and thereby further
irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any
such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient
forum. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial
jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 8.13 in any such action or proceeding by
mailing copies thereof by registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested,
to its address as specified in or pursuant to Section 8.9. However, the foregoing shall not limit
the right of a party to effect service of process on the other party by any other legally available
method.




     8.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation directly
or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction
contemplated hereby. Each party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any
other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event
of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other
parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual
waivers and certifications in this Section 8.14.



     8.15 Specific Performance. The parties hereto recognize that the various rights
rendered under this Agreement are unique and that monetary damages would not provide adequate
compensation if the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by them in accordance with the
terms hereof or were otherwise breached and, accordingly, the parties shall, in addition to such
other remedies as may be available to them at law or in equity, have the right to enforce the
rights under this Agreement by actions for injunctive relief and specific performance. The parties
agree not to raise any objections or defenses to the availability of equitable remedies (including
that a remedy at law would be adequate) to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement and to
specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened
breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the parties under this
Agreement.

          Section 7.2.1 Ownership Limitations. During the period commencing on the Initial Date (except
as otherwise provided in Section 7.2.1(a)(iii), which shall commence on the Effective Date) and
prior to the Restriction Termination Date:




               (a) Basic Restrictions.



                    (i) (1) No Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall

                    (ii) No Person shall Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of

the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year), or otherwise failing to
qualify as a REIT (including, but not limited to, Beneficial or Constructive Ownership that would

“Foreign Ownership Percentage”) or more of the fair market value of the issued and outstanding
shares of Capital Stock; provided, that, for purposes of the foregoing, any shares held directly or
indirectly by an entity classified as a domestic corporation (other than a REIT) for U.S. federal

foregoing restriction shall not limit (x) any pledge of shares of Capital Stock by any Gazit

and insurance companies that act as lenders) that is not affiliated with or related to any Gazit
Stockholder (a “Qualified Lender”) in connection with a bona fide loan to any Gazit Stockholder,
(y) any transfer of actual, Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of pledged shares described in (x)
to a Qualified Lender or any transferee in connection with a foreclosure, seizure or other similar
proceeding by the Qualified Lender against any of such pledged shares, or (z) the ownership of any
shares of Capital Stock by Liberty International Holdings Limited or any of its affiliates acquired
(A) pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, dated as of [_______], 2010, by and between Liberty

2

shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately before such transfer or other
disposition.

shares of Capital Stock (whether
or not such Transfer is the result of a transaction entered into through the facilities of the NYSE
or any other national securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system) that, if
effective, would result in the Capital Stock being beneficially owned by less than 100 Persons
(determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code) shall be void ab initio, and the
intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Capital Stock.



               (b) Transfer in Trust. Subject to Section 7.4 of the Charter, if any Transfer of shares of
Capital Stock (whether or not such Transfer is the result of a transaction entered into through the
facilities of the NYSE or any other national securities exchange or automated inter-dealer
quotation system) occurs which, if effective, would result in any Person Beneficially Owning or
Constructively Owning shares of Capital Stock in violation of Section 7.2.1(a)(i), (ii) or (iii),



                    (i) then that number of shares of the Capital Stock the
Beneficial or Constructive Ownership
of which otherwise would cause such Person to violate Section 7.2.1(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) (rounded
up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trust for the benefit of a
Charitable Beneficiary, as described in Section 7.3, effective as of the close of business on the
Business Day prior to the date of such Transfer, and such Person shall acquire no rights in such
shares; or



                    (ii) if the transfer to the Trust described in clause (i) of
this Section 7.2.1(b) would not
be effective for any reason to prevent the violation of Section 7.2.1(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), then
the Transfer of that number of shares of Capital Stock that otherwise would cause any Person to
violate Section 7.2.1(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee
shall acquire no rights in such shares of Capital Stock.



                    Section 7.2.2 Remedies for Breach. If the Board of Directors of
the Corporation or any duly
authorized committee thereof shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other
event has taken place that results in a violation of Section 7.2.1 or that a Person intends to
acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of any shares of Capital
Stock in violation of Section 7.2.1 (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of
Directors or a committee thereof shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give
effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, without limitation, causing the
Corporation to redeem shares, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the
Corporation or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or other event; provided, however,
that any Transfer or attempted Transfer or other event in violation of Section 7.2.1 shall
automatically result in the transfer to the Trust described above, and, where applicable, such
Transfer (or other event) shall be void ab initio as provided above irrespective of any action (or
non-action) by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof.

          Section 7.2.3 Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who acquires or attempts or intends to
acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of shares of Capital Stock that will or may
violate Section 7.2.1(a) or any Person who would have owned shares of Capital Stock that resulted
in a transfer to the Trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2.1(b) shall immediately give
written notice to the Corporation of such event, or in the case of such a proposed or attempted
transaction, give at least 15 days prior written notice, and shall provide to the Corporation such
other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such
Transfer on the Corporation’s status as a REIT or whether such Transfer would result in a violation
of Section 7.2.1(a)(iii).




          Section 7.2.4 Owners Required to Provide Information. From the Initial Date and prior to the
Restriction Termination Date:




               (a) every Person who Beneficially Owns more than five percent (or such lower percentage as
required by the Code or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) of the outstanding shares
of Capital Stock, within 30 days after the end of each taxable year, shall give written notice to
the Corporation stating the name and address of such owner, the number of shares of Capital Stock
Beneficially Owned and a description of the manner in which such shares are held. Each such Person
shall provide to the Corporation such additional information as the Corporation may request in
order to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial Ownership on the Corporation’s status as
a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit or ensure that the Foreign
Ownership Percentage is not exceeded; and



               (b) each Person who is a Beneficial or Constructive Owner of Capital Stock and each Person
(including the stockholder of record) who is holding Capital Stock for a Beneficial or Constructive
Owner shall provide to the Corporation such information as the Corporation may request, in good
faith, in order to determine the Corporation’s status as a REIT or as a “domestically controlled
qualified investment entity” (within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Code) and to comply
with requirements of any taxing authority or governmental authority or to determine such
compliance.



          Section 7.2.5 Remedies not Limited. Subject to Sections 5.6 and 7.4 of the Charter, nothing
contained in this Section 7.2 shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation
and the interests of its stockholders in preserving the Corporation’s status as a REIT or ensuring
that the Foreign Ownership Percentage is not exceeded.




          Section 7.2.6 Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the
provisions of this Section 7.2, Section 7.3, or any definition contained in Section 7.1, the Board
of Directors of the Corporation shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions
of this Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it. In
the event Section 7.2 or 7.3 requires an action by the Board of Directors and the Charter fails to
provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board of Directors shall have the power
to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of
Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3.

          Section 7.2.7 Exceptions.




               (a) Subject to Sections 7.2.1(a)(ii) and 7.2.1(a)(iii), the Board of Directors of the
Corporation, in its sole discretion, may exempt a Person from the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit
and the Common Stock Ownership Limit, as the case may be, and may establish or increase an Excepted
Holder Limit for such Person if:



                    (i) the Board of Directors obtains such representations and
undertakings from such Person as
are reasonably necessary to ascertain that no individual’s Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of
such shares of Capital Stock will violate Section 7.2.1(a)(ii);



                    (ii) the Board of Directors obtains such representations and
undertakings from such Person as
are reasonably necessary to ascertain that no Person’s Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of such
shares of Capital Stock will violate Section 7.2.1(a)(iii), if applicable;



                    (iii) such Person does not and represents that it will not own,
actually or Constructively, an
interest in a Tenant of the Corporation (or a Tenant of any entity owned or controlled by the
Corporation) that would cause the Corporation to own, actually or Constructively, more than a 9.9%
interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in such Tenant and the Board of
Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably
necessary to ascertain this fact (for this purpose, a Tenant from whom the Corporation (or an
entity owned or controlled by the Corporation) derives (and is expected to continue to derive) a
sufficiently small amount of revenue such that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation, rent from such Tenant would not adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to qualify
as a REIT need not be treated as a Tenant of the Corporation); and



                    (iv) such Person agrees that any violation or attempted violation
of such representations or
undertakings (or other action which is contrary to the restrictions contained in Sections 7.2.1
through 7.2.6) will result in such shares of Capital Stock being automatically transferred to a
Trust in accordance with Sections 7.2.1(b) and 7.3.



               (b) Prior to granting any exception pursuant to Section 7.2.7(a), the Board of Directors
of
the Corporation may require a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or an opinion of counsel,
in either case in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Directors in its sole discretion,
as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the Corporation’s status as a
REIT. Notwithstanding the receipt of any ruling or opinion, the Board of Directors may impose such
conditions or restrictions as it deems appropriate in connection with granting such exception.



               (c) Subject to Sections 7.2.1(a)(ii) and 7.2.1(a)(iii), an underwriter which participates
in a
public offering or a private placement of Capital Stock (or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Capital Stock) may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock
(or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock) in excess of the Aggregate Stock
Ownership Limit, the Common Stock Ownership Limit, or both



5









 




such limits, but only to the extent necessary to facilitate such public offering or private
placement.




                     (d) The Board of Directors may only reduce the Excepted
Holder Limit for an Excepted Holder:
(1) with the written consent of such Excepted Holder at any time, or (2) pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the agreements and undertakings entered into with such Excepted Holder in connection
with the establishment of the Excepted Holder Limit for that Excepted Holder. No Excepted Holder
Limit shall be reduced to a percentage that is less than the Common Stock Ownership Limit.



                    Section 7.2.8 Increase in Aggregate Stock Ownership and Common
Stock Ownership Limits. The
Board of Directors may from time to time increase the Common Stock Ownership Limit and the
Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit (but not the Foreign Ownership Percentage).




                    Section 7.2.9 Legend. Each certificate for shares of Capital
Stock shall bear substantially
the following legend:





The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on
Beneficial and Constructive Ownership and Transfer for the purpose of the
Corporation’s maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to ensure that one of
its subsidiaries may qualify as a “domestically controlled qualified investment
entity” (within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Code). Subject to
certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the Corporation’s
Charter, (i) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of the
Corporation’s Common Stock in excess of 9.9% (in value or number of shares) of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation unless such Person is an
Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (ii)
no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock of the
Corporation in excess of 9.9% of the value of the total outstanding shares of
Capital Stock of the Corporation, unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in
which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (iii) no Person may
Beneficially or Constructively Own Capital Stock that would result in the
Corporation being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise
cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT; (iv) subject to certain
exceptions set forth in the Corporation’s Charter, no Non-U.S. Person may acquire
Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of any shares of Capital Stock after the
Effective Date if, immediately following such acquisition, the fair market value of
all shares of Capital Stock owned directly and indirectly by Non-U.S. Persons would
comprise more than 29% of the fair market value of the issued and
outstanding shares of Capital Stock; and (v) no Person may Transfer shares of Capital Stock if
such Transfer would result in the Capital Stock of the Corporation being owned by
fewer than 100 Persons. Any Person who
Beneficially or Constructively Owns or attempts to Beneficially or Constructively
Own shares of Capital Stock which causes or will cause a
Person to Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess or
in violation of the



6









 







above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation. If any of the
restrictions on transfer or ownership are violated, the shares of Capital Stock
represented hereby will be automatically transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for
the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. In addition, upon the
occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions
described above may be void ab initio. All capitalized terms in this legend have
the meanings defined in the Charter, as the same may be amended from time to time,
a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer and ownership, will be
furnished to each holder of Capital Stock of the Corporation on request and without
charge.



     Instead of the foregoing legend, the certificate may state that the Corporation will furnish a
full statement about certain restrictions on transferability to a stockholder on request and
without charge.


THIRD: The amendments to the Charter as hereinabove set forth have been duly advised by the Board
of Directors and approved by the stockholders of the Corporation as required by law.

The undersigned Chief Executive Officer acknowledges these Articles of
Amendment to be the corporate act of the Corporation and as to all matters or facts required to be

name and on its behalf by its Chief Executive Officer and attested to by its Secretary on this ___

	5.	 	Severability: In the event that any provision of this Irrevocable Proxy becomes or is
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, unenforceable or void,
this Irrevocable Proxy shall continue in full force and effect without said provision to the
extent the intent of the Proxy Holder and each Equity Holder is effected. In such event, any
Equity Holder shall, upon request by the Proxy Holder and the other Equity Holders, enter into

such parties in entering into this Irrevocable Proxy.
	 
	6.	 	Assignment; Amendment: The obligations of each

assigns (as permitted in the Equityholders Agreement). This Irrevocable Proxy may not be

otherwise, to any Equity Holder or to any member of the Gazit Group or the Liberty Group

expenses or damages incurred by Proxy Holder or one of its officers in connection with the
Proxy Holder taking any action within the scope of the authority conferred on the Proxy
Holder by LIH under this Irrevocable Proxy with respect to the LIH Interests, except for
fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Proxy Holder or an intentional breach
of this Irrevocable Proxy by the Proxy Holder.
	 
		 	(c) The Gazit Equity Holders hereby agree to indemnify the Proxy Holder for any claims,
proceedings, costs, expenses or damages incurred by Proxy Holder or one of its officers in
connection with the Proxy Holder taking any action within the scope of the authority
conferred on the Proxy Holder by the Gazit Equity Holders under this Irrevocable Proxy with
respect to the Gazit Interests, except for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Proxy Holder or an intentional breach of this Irrevocable Proxy by the Proxy Holder.




 









 












	8.	 	Miscellaneous
	 
		 	(a) Jurisdiction; Service of Process: This Irrevocable Proxy shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to the
conflicts of law provisions thereof. Each Equity Holder hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any
New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York
City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Irrevocable Proxy, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment,
and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each Equity Holder agrees that a final judgment in
any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each Equity
Holder irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and
effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue
of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Irrevocable Proxy in
any New York State or Federal court. Each Equity Holder hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such action or proceeding in any such court. Each Equity Holder irrevocably consents to
service of process in the manner provided for notices in the Equityholders Agreement.
	 
		 	(b) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Irrevocable Proxy may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. This Irrevocable Proxy may also be executed and
delivered by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) and in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.
	 
		 	(c) Notices. Any notice or communication required under otherwise delivered in connection
with this Irrevocable Proxy to any of the parties hereto shall be written and shall be
delivered to such party in the manner and to the addresses provided for notices in the
Equityholders Agreement.
	 
		 	(d) No Partnership, Agency, or Joint Venture. This Irrevocable Proxy is intended to create,
and creates, a contractual relationship and is not intended to create, and does not create,
any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship between the parties hereto.

	Re:	 	Ownership Limit Waiver




Ladies and Gentlemen:



Reference is hereby made to the provisions of Sections 7.2.1(a)(i)(1) and 7.2.1(a)(i)(2) of the
Articles of Amendment and Restatement, dated as of April 22, 2002, of Equity One, Inc. (the
“Company”), as amended to date (the “Charter”), which generally prohibit any Person from
Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning either (i) shares of Capital Stock in excess of 9.9%
in value of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company or (ii) shares of Common Stock
in excess of 9.9% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the aggregate
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (collectively, the “Ownership Limit”).
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Charter.



We understand that Liberty International Holdings Limited (“LIH” and, together with Capital
Shopping Centres Group plc and any direct or indirect subsidiary in which it owns an interest that
represents more than 50% of the total voting power or value of such subsidiary, the “Liberty Group”
and each, a “Liberty Group Party”) (i) will Beneficially Own [______] shares of Common Stock as of,
and in connection with, consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and LIH, and (ii) may acquire
additional shares of Common Stock upon the redemption of its Class A Shares in EQY-CSC LLC pursuant
to the terms of the Operating Agreement of EQY-CSC LLC, dated the date hereof, which, collectively,
represent approximately [__]% of the outstanding Common Stock as of the date hereof (shares of
Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Liberty Group pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) collectively
constitute the “Aggregate Shares”).



Subject to the terms and conditions of this letter agreement, the Liberty Group hereby request that
the Board irrevocably take the following actions pursuant to Section 7.2.7(a) of the Charter and
confirm the same by causing the Company to countersign this letter agreement below:

waive the application of the Ownership Limit and exempt Liberty Group from the Ownership
Limit to the extent necessary to allow the Liberty Group to collectively Constructively Own
and/or Beneficially Own at any time up to, but not in excess of, shares of Common Stock
equal to (i) 19.9% in value of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock, (ii) 19.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or
(iii) 19.9% in value of the aggregate outstanding shares of Capital Stock, whichever is the
most restrictive (the “Liberty Ownership Limit”), which Liberty Ownership Limit shall be
deemed to be the Liberty Group’s Excepted Holder Limit for purposes of the Charter;
provided, that such percentage shall automatically be reduced to the percentage of
outstanding shares of Common Stock that the Liberty Group is permitted to Beneficially Own
pursuant to Section 2.8 of that certain Equityholders Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2010,
which Liberty Ownership Limit shall be deemed to be the Liberty Group’s Exempted Holder
Limit for purposes of the Charter (it being understood that in no event shall the Liberty
Ownership Limit be reduced below 9.9%).


For the avoidance of doubt, the Company further agrees that the Ownership Limit is waived with
respect to, and the Liberty Group is exempted from the Ownership Limit for, any prior, current and
future acquisition (a “Permitted Acquisition”) by the Liberty Group of Beneficial Ownership and/or
Constructive Ownership of any shares of Common Stock, which, when added to the shares of Common
Stock Beneficially Owned and/or Constructively Owned by the Liberty Group immediately prior to such
acquisition, does not exceed the Liberty Ownership Limit and that Liberty Group and each Liberty
Group Party, subject to the conditions herein, shall be considered an Excepted Holder for purposes
of the Charter.



Notwithstanding the foregoing:





	 	(a)	 	the Liberty Ownership Limit is not waived to the extent that any Person, as a result of
such Person’s Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of an interest in a Liberty Group Party,
Beneficially or Constructively Owns shares of Capital Stock to the extent that such
Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of Capital Stock would result in the Corporation being
“closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether
the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year), or otherwise
failing to qualify as a REIT (including, but not limited to, Beneficial or Constructive
Ownership that would result in the Company owning actually or Constructively an interest in
a Tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the
Company from such tenant would cause the Company to fail to satisfy any of the gross income
requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code); and

	 	(b)	 	the Liberty Ownership Limit is not waived to the extent that the waiver provided
hereby, at any time, would result in the Company failing to qualify as a real estate
investment trust for federal income tax purposes.




Each Liberty Group Party hereby jointly and severally makes the following representations and
warranties and covenants with the intention that the Board rely on them in granting the waiver:





	 	1.	 	No individual within the meaning of Section 542(a)(2) of the Code, as a
result of such individual’s Beneficial Ownership of an interest in a Liberty Group
Party, Beneficially Owns or will Beneficially Own shares of Common Stock with an
aggregate value in excess of 5.0% of the value of all outstanding shares of stock of
the Company after the application of the rules of Sections 542 and 544 of the Code as
modified by Section 856(h) of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Waiver, except the ultimate sentence of this provision, if LIH is required to dispose
of any shares of Common Stock as a result of an event or circumstance that makes this
representation inaccurate, LIH shall have 90 trading days to dispose of such shares in
an orderly fashion. A “trading day” means any day that the national securities
exchange or other securities exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is
then primarily listed or quoted for trading is open for trading on a regular way basis
but does not include any day that Liberty Group is not permitted to sell shares of
Common Stock due to the application of securities laws or Equity One’s insider trading
policies. If as a result of an event or circumstance that makes this representation
inaccurate and such event or circumstance would cause the Company to fail to qualify
as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes, a portion of the
Aggregate Shares shall be automatically transferred to a trust in accordance with
Sections 7.2.1(b) and 7.3 of the Charter and LIH shall not be entitled to the benefit
of the procedures of the second sentence of this provision.
	 
	 	2.	 	No Liberty Group Party owns, actually or Constructively, or will own an
interest in a Tenant of the Company (or a Tenant of any entity owned or controlled by
the Company) that would cause the Company to own, actually or Constructively, more
than a 9.9% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in such Tenant
(for this purpose, a Tenant from whom the Company (or an entity owned or controlled by
the Company) derives (and is expected to continue to derive) a sufficiently small
amount of revenue such that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company,
rent from such Tenant would not adversely affect the Company’s ability to qualify as a
REIT shall not be treated as a Tenant of the Company).

Company if any of the above representations and warranties is no longer true or accurate; (b) as of

proxy solicitation with respect to the Company; and (c) any violation or attempted violation of
their representations or undertakings (or other action which is contrary to the restrictions

being automatically transferred to a trust in accordance with Sections 7.2.1(b) and 7.3 of the
Charter.
