 ARTICLE 2 

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES 

Section 2.01 Designation and Principal Amount. The Notes may be issued from time to time upon written order of the Company for the
authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Base Indenture. There is hereby authorized a series of Securities designated as the 4.443%
Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes Due 2028 having an initial aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000. 

Section 2.02 Maturity. The date upon which the Notes shall become due and payable at final maturity, together with any accrued and
unpaid interest, is August 4, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”). 
 Section 2.03 Form, Payment and Appointment.
Except as provided in the last four paragraphs of Section 3.5 of the Base Indenture, the Notes will be issued only in book-entry form. Principal of and interest on the Notes will be payable in global form registered in the name of or held by
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee in immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such Global Note (as hereinafter defined). The principal of any certificated
Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York, which shall initially be the principal office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New
York; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account
appropriately designated by the Person entitled to payment; provided that the paying agent shall have received written notice of such account designation at least five Business Days prior to the date of such payment (subject to surrender of
the relevant Note in the case of a payment of interest on the Maturity Date). 

  
 -7- 

 The Company hereby appoints the Trustee to act as Security Registrar, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent for
the Notes. 
 The Notes will be issuable and may be transferred only in denominations of $2,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple
of $1,000. The specified currency of the Notes shall be U.S. Dollars. 
 Section 2.04 Global Note. The Notes shall be issued
initially in the form of one or more fully registered global notes (each such global note, a “Global Note”) deposited with DTC or its designated custodian or such other Depositary as any officer of the Company may from time to time
designate. Unless and until a Global Note is exchanged for Notes in certificated form, such Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall be made, only to DTC or a nominee of DTC, or to a successor
Depositary selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 Section 2.05 Interest. 

(a) (i) Fixed Rate Period. During the period from (and including) August 4, 2022, to (but excluding) August 4, 2027, the
Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.443% per annum (the “Initial Interest Rate”). Such interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each February 4 and August 4 of each year, beginning on February 4,
2023 and ending on August 4, 2027 (each, a “Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date”). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any scheduled Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, any payment of principal and interest on the Notes will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, but
interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date. 

(b) (i) Floating Rate Period. During the period from (and including) August 4, 2027, to (but excluding) the Maturity Date
(the “Floating Rate Period”), the Notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Benchmark plus 197 basis points per annum (the “Spread”), as determined in arrears by the Calculation Agent in the
manner described herein. Such interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on November 4, 2027, February 4, 2028, May 4, 2028 and on the Maturity Date (each a “Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date”). Such
interest will be computed for the period beginning on (and including) a Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date and ending on (but excluding) the next succeeding Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (each, a
“Floating Rate Interest Period”); provided that the first Floating Rate Interest Period for the Notes will begin on (and include) August 4, 2027 and will end on (but exclude) the first Floating Rate Period Interest Payment
Date. 
 (ii) The Calculation Agent will calculate the interest rate on the Notes quarterly on the second U.S. Government Securities
Business Day preceding the applicable Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date (the “Interest Determination Date”). In no event will the interest payable on the Notes be less than zero. Interest will be computed on the basis of
the actual number of days in each Floating Rate Interest Period (or any other relevant period) and a 360-day year. The amount of accrued interest payable on the Notes for each Floating Rate Interest Period
will be computed by multiplying (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes by (ii) the product of (a) the interest rate for the relevant Floating Rate Interest Period multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of
calendar days in the applicable Floating Rate Interest Period relating to such Floating Rate Interest Period (or any other relevant period) divided by 360. 

  
 -8- 

 (iii) If any scheduled Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity
Date) is not a Business Day, such Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day; provided that if that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Floating Rate Period Interest
Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If any such Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date) is postponed or brought forward as described above, the payment of interest due on such postponed or
brought forward Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date will include interest accrued to (but excluding) such postponed or brought forward Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date. 

(c) Interest on the Notes shall be payable to the Persons in whose names the relevant Notes are registered at the close of business on the
fifteenth calendar day preceding each Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date or Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date, as applicable, whether or not a Business Day. 

(d) In the event that the Maturity Date or date of redemption, or repayment of any Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the
related payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the Maturity Date or date of redemption or
repayment of any Note. If a date of redemption or repayment of any Note falls within the Floating Rate Period but does not occur on a Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date, (i) the related Interest Determination Date shall be deemed to be
the date that is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such date of redemption or repayment, (ii) the related Observation Period shall be deemed to end on (and exclude) the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day falling
prior to such date of redemption or repayment, (iii) the Floating Rate Interest Period will be deemed to be shortened accordingly and (iv) corresponding adjustments will be deemed to be made to the Compounded SOFR Index Rate formula (or
applicable Benchmark). Interest due on the Maturity Date of any Notes will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Notes is payable. 

(e) SOFR Index Unavailability. If SOFR IndexStart or SOFR IndexEnd is not published on the relevant Interest Determination Date and a
Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR, “Compounded SOFR Index Rate” shall mean, for the relevant interest period for which such index is not available, the rate
of return on a daily compounded interest investment calculated in accordance with the formula for SOFR Averages, and definitions required for such formula, published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website at
https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/treasury-repo-reference-rates-information (or such successor website). For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR Averages compounding formula and related definitions to “calculation
period” shall be replaced with “Observation Period” and the words “that is, 30-, 90-, or 180- calendar
days” shall be removed. If the daily SOFR (“SOFRi”) does not so appear for any day, “i” in the Observation Period, SOFRi for such day “i” shall be SOFR published in respect of the first preceding U.S.
Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website. 

  
 -9- 

 (f) Benchmark Transition Provisions. (i) In the event that the Company or its
designee (in consultation with the Company) determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the applicable Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the
applicable Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes during the Floating Rate Period in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates; provided
that, if the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) is unable to or does not determine a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with the provisions below prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the relevant Interest Determination
Date, the interest rate for the related Floating Rate Interest Period shall be equal to the interest rate in effect for the immediately preceding Floating Rate Interest Period or, in the case of the Interest Determination Date prior to the first
Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date, the Initial Interest Rate. In accordance with and subject to this Section 2.05(f), after a Benchmark Transition Event and related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the amount of interest that
will be payable for each interest period on the Notes during the Floating Rate Period will be determined by reference to a rate per annum equal to the Benchmark Replacement plus the Spread. 

(ii) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) shall
have the right to make changes to (1) any Interest Determination Date, Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date, Reference Time, Business Day convention or Floating Rate Interest Period, (2) the manner, timing and frequency of
determining the rate and amounts of interest that are payable on the Notes during the Floating Rate Period and the conventions relating to such determination and calculations with respect to interest, (3) rounding conventions, (4) tenors
and (5) any other terms or provisions of the Notes during the Floating Rate Period, in each case that the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) determines, from time to time, to be appropriate to reflect the determination
and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) decides that implementation of any portion of such market practice is
not administratively feasible or determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) determines is appropriate (acting in good faith))
(the “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes”). Any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall apply to the Notes for all future Floating Rate Interest Periods. 

(iii) The Company shall promptly give notice of the determination of the Benchmark Replacement, the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and any
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Holders of the Notes; provided that failure to provide such notice shall have no impact on the effectiveness of, or otherwise invalidate, any
such determination. 
 (iv) All determinations, decisions, elections and any calculations made by the Company or its designee for the
purposes of determining the Benchmark Replacement, the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes, the Company, the Calculation Agent, the Trustee and
the Paying Agent, absent manifest error. If made by the Company’s 

  
 -10- 

 
designee, such determinations, decisions, elections and calculations shall be made after consulting with the Company, and such designees shall not make any such determination, decision, election
or calculation to which the Company objects. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, any determinations, decisions, calculations or elections made in accordance with this provision shall become effective without consent from the
Holders of the Notes or any other party. 
 (v) Any determination, decision or election relating to the Benchmark shall be made by the
Company in accordance with this Section 2.05(f). The Calculation Agent shall have no liability for not making any such determination, decision or election. The Company may designate an entity (which may be its affiliate) to make any
determination, decision or election that the Company has the right to make in connection with the determination of the Benchmark. 
 (vi)
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 2.05(f), no Benchmark Replacement shall be adopted, nor shall the applicable Benchmark Replacement Adjustment be applied, nor shall any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes be made, if in
the Company’s determination, the same could reasonably be expected to prejudice the qualification of the Notes as eligible liabilities or loss absorbing capacity instruments for the purposes of the Relevant Rules.

REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES 

Section 3.01 Optional Redemption. The Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the Company at any time except as
described herein. The Notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in accordance with Exhibit A of the attached and in accordance with Article XI of the Base Indenture. 

On or after January 31, 2023 (180 days after August 4, 2022) (or, if additional notes are issued, beginning 180 days after the issue
date of such additional notes), and, prior to August 4, 2027 (one year prior to the Maturity Date (the “First Par Call Date”)), the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to
time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: 
  

	 	(1)	 (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon
discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the First Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months) at the Treasury Rate plus 27 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and 

  

	 	(2)	 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, 

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. 

On the First Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, or on or after July 4, 2028 (one month prior to
the Maturity Date), in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, in each case at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the
following two paragraphs. 

  
 -12- 

 The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or
after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that
appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or
publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the
Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the First Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no
such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant
maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the First Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or
(3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable
Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date. 

If on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the
Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury
security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the First Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the First Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with
a maturity date equally distant from the First Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the First Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the First Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security
with a maturity date preceding the First Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the First Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence,
the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities
at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and
asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places. 

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error. 

  
 -13- 

 Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise
transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. 

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the
Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note shall state the
portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For
so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or another Depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary. 

Neither the Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall be responsible for or have any responsibility to determine or make any calculations in
connection with any redemption. 
 If any Notes are redeemed, the redemption price payable to the holder of any Notes called for redemption
will be payable on the applicable redemption date against the surrender to the Company or its agent of any certificate(s) evidencing the Notes called for redemption. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and any accrued interest on,
the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to
accrue on the Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption and such Notes will cease to be outstanding. 
 The Notes are not be
subject to repayment at the option of any Holder at any time prior to maturity and are not entitled to any sinking fund. 
 ARTICLE 4

 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE, TRANSFER, OR LEASE 

Section 4.01 Merger. In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 8.1 of the Base Indenture, the Company shall

convey, transfer, or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to the Company if, as a result of any such consolidation or merger or such conveyance, transfer or lease, properties or assets of the Company would become subject to a
mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other encumbrance which would not be permitted by this Indenture, unless the Company or such successor Person, as the case may be, shall take such steps as shall be necessary effectively to secure the

defined herein) of a Principal Subsidiary Bank (as defined herein) or any securities convertible into or rights to subscribe to such Capital Stock, unless, after giving effect to (i) such sale, pledge, assignment, transfer, disposition or
issuance, and (ii) the conversion of such securities into, or exercise of such rights with respect to, such Capital Stock, the Company will own, directly or indirectly, at least 80% of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of each class of
Capital Stock of such Principal Subsidiary Bank; or (b) pay any dividend in Capital Stock of a Principal Subsidiary Bank or make any other distribution in Capital Stock of a Principal Subsidiary Bank, unless the Principal Subsidiary Bank to
which the transaction relates, after obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals, unconditionally guarantees payment of the principal and any premium and interest on the Securities; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prohibit
any of the following: (1) any dispositions made by the Company or any Principal Subsidiary Bank of the Company (A) acting in a fiduciary capacity for any Person other than the Company or any Principal Subsidiary Bank of the Company or

shares of Voting Stock of a Principal Subsidiary Bank made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company if: (A) the sale, assignment, pledge, transfer or other disposition is made, in the minimum amount required by law, to any Person for the
purpose of the qualification of such Person to serve as a director; or (B) the sale, assignment, pledge, transfer or other disposition is made in compliance with an order of a court or regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction or as a
condition imposed by any such court or regulatory authority to the acquisition by the Company or any Principal Subsidiary Bank of the Company, directly or indirectly, of any other Person; or (C) the sale, assignment, pledge, transfer or other
disposition of Voting Stock or any other securities convertible into or rights to subscribe to Voting Stock of a Principal Subsidiary Bank, so long as: (i) any such transaction is made for fair market value as determined by the Board of
Directors or the board of directors of the Principal Subsidiary Bank of the Company disposing of such Voting Stock or other securities or rights, and (ii) after giving effect to such transaction and to any potential dilution, the Company and
its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries will own, directly or indirectly, at least 80% of the Voting Stock of such Principal Subsidiary Bank; (4) any Principal Subsidiary Bank from selling additional shares of Voting Stock to its shareholders at any
price, so long as immediately after such sale, the Company owns, directly or indirectly, at least as great a percentage of the Voting Stock of such Principal Subsidiary Bank as the Company owned prior to such sale of additional shares; or (5) a
pledge made or a lien created to secure loans or other extensions of credit by a Principal Subsidiary Bank subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. As used herein, “Capital Stock” shall mean any shares, interests,
rights to purchase, warrants, options, participations or other equivalents of or interests in (however designated) the equity of such Person, including any preferred stock, but excluding any debt securities convertible into such equity, and
“Principal Subsidiary Bank” shall mean any subsidiary of the Company that is a bank or trust company organized and doing business under any state or federal law, the consolidated assets of which constitute 50% or more of the
consolidated assets of the Company.

have become due and payable, and the acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled, or the indebtedness is discharged, or there is deposited in trust enough money to discharge the indebtedness, and continuance of such default or breach for a
period of 30 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes a written notice specifying such default
or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” under this Indenture. Such Event of Default shall be treated for all purposes under the Indenture as if it were an Event of Default under

including the compliance of the Company with any of its covenants in the Base Indenture and this Fourth Supplemental Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the
Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such

signature capture service providers as may be reasonably chosen by a signatory hereto or thereto. When the Trustee acts on any Executed Documentation sent by electronic transmission, the Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any losses,

US446150BB90 
 HUNTINGTON BANCSHARES INCORPORATED, a Maryland corporation (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor
Person under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of [five hundred] [two hundred fifty] million United States dollars on
August 4, 2028 and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on August 4, 2028, or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day. 

The Company further promises to pay interest as follows. During the period from (and including) August 4, 2022, to (but excluding) August 4,
2027, the Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.443% per annum. Such interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each February 4 and August 4 of each year, beginning on February 4, 2023 and ending on
August 4, 2027 (each, a “Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date”). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any scheduled Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date is
not a Business Day, any payment of principal and interest on the Notes will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled Fixed Rate Period Interest
Payment Date. 
 During the period from (and including) August 4, 2027, to (but excluding) the Maturity Date (the “Floating Rate
Period”), the Notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Benchmark plus 197 basis points per annum (the “Spread”), as determined in arrears by the Calculation Agent in the manner described herein and
in the Indenture. Such interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on November 4, 2027, February 4, 2028, May 4, 2028 and on the Maturity Date (each a “Floating Rate Period Interest Payment
Date”). Such interest will be computed for the period beginning on (and including) a Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date and ending on (but excluding) the next succeeding Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date or the Maturity
Date (each, a “Floating Rate Interest Period”); provided that the first Floating Rate Interest Period for the Notes will begin on (and include) August 4, 2027 and will end on (but exclude) the first Floating Rate Period
Interest Payment Date. 
 The Calculation Agent will calculate the interest rate on the Notes quarterly on the second U.S. Government Securities Business
Day preceding the applicable Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date (the “Interest Determination Date”). In no event will the interest payable on the Notes be less than zero. Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual
number of days in each Floating Rate Interest Period (or any other relevant period) and a 360-day year. The amount of accrued interest payable on the Notes for each Floating Rate Interest Period will be computed by multiplying (i) the
outstanding principal amount of the Notes by (ii) the product of (a) the interest rate for the relevant Floating Rate Interest Period multiplied by (b) the quotient of the actual number of calendar days in the
applicable Floating Rate Interest Period relating to such Floating Rate Interest Period (or any other relevant period) divided by 360.

 If any scheduled Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date) is not a Business
Day, such Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day; provided that if that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date will be
the immediately preceding Business Day. If any such Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date) is postponed or brought forward as described above, the payment of interest due on such postponed or brought forward
Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date will include interest accrued to (but excluding) such postponed or brought forward Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date. 

Interest on the Notes shall be payable to the Persons in whose names the relevant Notes are registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day
preceding each Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date or Fixed Rate Period Interest Payment Date, as applicable, whether or not a Business Day. 
 In
the event that the Maturity Date or date of redemption, or repayment of any Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next succeeding day that is a
Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment of any Note. If a date of redemption or repayment of any Note falls within the Floating Rate Period but
does not occur on a Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date, (i) the related Interest Determination Date shall be deemed to be the date that is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such date of redemption or repayment,
(ii) the related Observation Period shall be deemed to end on (and exclude) the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day falling prior to such date of redemption or repayment, (iii) the Floating Rate Interest Period will be deemed to
be shortened accordingly and (iv) corresponding adjustments will be deemed to be made to the Compounded SOFR Index Rate formula (or applicable Benchmark). Interest due on the Maturity Date of any Notes will be paid to the Person to whom
principal of such Notes is payable. 
 If SOFR IndexStart or SOFR IndexEnd is not published on the relevant Interest Determination Date and a Benchmark
Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR, “Compounded SOFR Index Rate” shall mean, for the relevant interest period for which such index is not available, the rate of return
on a daily compounded interest investment calculated in accordance with the formula for SOFR Averages, and definitions required for such formula, published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website at
https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/treasury-repo-reference-rates-information (or such successor website). For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR Averages compounding formula and related definitions to “calculation
period” shall be replaced with “Observation Period” and the words “that is, 30-, 90-, or 180- calendar
days” shall be removed. If the daily SOFR (“SOFRi”) does not so appear for any day, “i” in the Observation Period, SOFRi for such day “i” shall be SOFR published in respect of the first preceding U.S.
Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator’s Website. 

  
 A-4 

 In the event that the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) determines that a Benchmark
Transition Event and related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the applicable Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the applicable Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current Benchmark
for all purposes relating to the Notes during the Floating Rate Period in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates; provided that, if the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) is
unable to or does not determine a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with the provisions below prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the relevant Interest Determination Date, the interest rate for the related Floating Rate Interest Period shall be
equal to the interest rate in effect for the immediately preceding Floating Rate Interest Period or, in the case of the Interest Determination Date prior to the first Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date, the Initial Interest Rate. In
accordance with and subject to this Section 2.05(f), after a Benchmark Transition Event and related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the amount of interest that will be payable for each interest period on the Notes during the Floating
Rate Period will be determined by reference to a rate per annum equal to the Benchmark Replacement plus the Spread. 
 In connection with the implementation
of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company or its designee (in consultation with the Company) shall have the right to make changes to (1) any Interest Determination Date, Floating Rate Period Interest Payment Date, Reference Time, Business Day
convention or Floating Rate Interest Period, (2) the manner, timing and frequency of determining the rate and amounts of interest that are payable on the Notes during the Floating Rate Period and the conventions relating to such determination
and calculations with respect to interest, (3) rounding conventions, (4) tenors and (5) any other terms or provisions of the Notes during the Floating Rate Period, in each case that the Company or its designee (in consultation with
the Company) determines, from time to time, to be appropriate to reflect the determination and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company or its designee (in
consultation with the Company) decides that implementation of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or determine that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Company
or its designee (in consultation with the Company) determines is appropriate (acting in good faith)) (the “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes”). Any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall apply to the Notes for all
future Floating Rate Interest Periods. 
 The Company shall promptly give notice of the determination of the Benchmark Replacement, the Benchmark
Replacement Adjustment and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Holders of the Notes; provided that failure to provide such notice shall have no impact on the effectiveness of,
or otherwise invalidate, any such determination. 
 All determinations, decisions, elections and any calculations made by the Company or its designee for
the purposes of determining the Benchmark Replacement, the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes, the Company, the Calculation Agent, the Trustee
and the Paying Agent, absent manifest error. If made by the Company’s designee, such determinations, decisions, elections and calculations shall be made after consulting with the Company, and such designees shall not make any such
determination, decision, election or calculation to which the Company objects. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, any determinations, decisions, calculations or elections made in accordance with this provision shall become
effective without consent from the Holders of the Notes or any other party. 

  
 A-5 

 Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Benchmark Replacement shall be adopted, nor shall the
applicable Benchmark Replacement Adjustment be applied, nor shall any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes be made, if in the Company’s determination, the same could reasonably be expected to prejudice the qualification of the Notes as
eligible liabilities or loss absorbing capacity instruments for the purposes of the Relevant Rules. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any
interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at
the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, with notice thereof to be given to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to the Special Record Date, or be paid at any time
in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any automated quotation system or securities exchange on which the Notes may be quoted or listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such system or exchange, all as more
fully provided in the Indenture. 
 All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 Payment of principal and interest shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at such other office
or agency of the Company as may be designated by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of
public and private debts, by Dollar check drawn on, or transfer to, a Dollar account. Payments of interest on this Note may be made by Dollar check, drawn on a Dollar account, mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address
shall appear in the Security Register, or, upon written application by the Holder to the Security Registrar setting forth wire instructions not later than the relevant Record Date, by transfer to a Dollar account. 

Except as specifically provided herein and in the Indenture, the Company shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or
other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. 
 Reference is hereby made to the
further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof or an Authenticating Agent by the manual or
electronic signature of one of their respective authorized signatories, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or the Fourth Supplemental Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF THE NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of senior debt securities of the Company designated as its “4.443% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes Due 2028” (the “Notes”). The Notes, taken together, are initially limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S.
$750,000,000 issued and are to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of July 30, 2019 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (the
“Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Base Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 4, 2022 between the Company and the Trustee (the
“Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. As provided
in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same upon surrender of the Note
or Notes to be exchanged, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Trustee upon such surrender by the Holder will issue the new Notes in the requested denominations. 

On or after January 31, 2023 (180 days after August 4, 2022 (or, if additional notes are issued, beginning 180 days after the issue date of such
additional notes), and, prior to August 4, 2027 (one year prior to the Maturity Date (the “First Par Call Date”)), the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a
redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: 
  

	 	(1)	 (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon
discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the First Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months) at the Treasury Rate plus 27 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and 

  

	 	(2)	 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, 

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. 

On the First Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, or on or after July 4, 2028 (one month prior to the Maturity
Date), in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, in each case at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two
paragraphs. 

  
 A-8 

 The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time
as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such
time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication)
(“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company
shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the First Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such
Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on
H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the First Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if
there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury
constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date. 

If on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Company shall
calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security
maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the First Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the First Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a
maturity date equally distant from the First Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the First Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the First Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with
a maturity date preceding the First Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the First Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the
Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at
11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked
prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places. 

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

  
 A-9 

 Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance
with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Each notice of redemption will state: 

 

	 	•	 	 the redemption date; 

  

	 	•	 	 the redemption price; 

  

	 	•	 	 if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and in the case of partial
redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed; 

  

	 	•	 	 “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number of the Notes to be redeemed; 

 

	 	•	 	 that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each note to be redeemed, and
that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after the date of redemption; and 

  

	 	•	 	 the place or places where the Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

 If any Notes are redeemed, the redemption price payable to the holder of any Notes called for redemption will be
payable on the applicable redemption date against the surrender to the Company or its agent of any certificate(s) evidencing the Notes called for redemption. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and any accrued interest on, the Notes
(or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Company’s paying agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to
accrue on the Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption and such Notes will cease to be outstanding. 
 The Notes are not be
subject to repayment at the option of any Holder at any time prior to maturity and are not entitled to any sinking fund. 
 The Notes are
unsecured and rank equally with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. 
 The Notes are issuable only in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The Company may, without
consent of the holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes by issuing additional securities in the future on the same terms and conditions as the Notes, except for any difference in the issue price and interest accrued prior to
the date of issuance of the additional securities, and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes. The Notes and any additional Notes issued by the Company would rank equally and ratably and would be treated as a single series for all purposes under
the Indenture. 
 In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note at any Place of Payment, as the
case may be, is not a Business Day, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on or by such date at such place but may be made on or by the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such
payment, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period after such date. 

  
 A-10 

 If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes,
together with accrued interest to the date of declaration, may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of
the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note
issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding
with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it and the Trustee shall
not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 20 days after receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by any Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or interest on this Note or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

The Notes will be subject to defeasance and covenant defeasance pursuant to Sections 13.2 and 13.3 of the Base Indenture. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable on the Security
Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York (which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee), or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or 

  
 A-11 

 
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees by the Security Registrar. No service charge shall be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to recover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Prior to due presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered, as the owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Note and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement
of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director or
subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of
any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. 

THE NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

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

PERFORMANCE AWARDS AGREEMENT
ONE LIBERTY PROPERTIES, INC.
​
Name of Participant:
Number of ROC Units:
Number of TSR Units:
Grant Date:June 21, 2022
​
THIS PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT is entered into as of the grant date (the “Grant Date”) set forth above, between One Liberty Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Company”), and the participant identified above (the “Participant”).
​
WHEREAS, the stockholders of the Company have adopted the One Liberty Properties, Inc. 2022 Incentive Plan (“Plan”); and
​
WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”) has granted, pursuant to the Plan, (i) Performance Awards in the form of restricted stock units (“Units”) to the Participant pursuant to which shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Units are issuable upon the attainment by the Company during the Performance Cycle of the Performance Criteria established by the Committee as set forth in Exhibit A hereto and (ii) cash settled dividend equivalent rights which are granted in tandem with the Units, all as further set forth herein;
​
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
​
1.      Incorporation of the Plan.  All provisions of this Agreement and the rights of Participant hereunder are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan and the powers of the Committee therein provided.  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. The Participant acknowledges receipt of the Plan, the Prospectus dated June 10, 2022 and the Prospectus Supplement dated June 21, 2022.
​
2.Grant Date.  Pursuant to the Plan, the Company, effective as of the Grant Date, grants the Units to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and those set forth herein.
​
3.Forfeiture.  Upon a termination, prior to June 30, 2025, of the Participant’s status as a Participant (as defined in the Plan) for any reason other than a DDR Event (as defined herein) or Change in Control, all Units that have not vested shall immediately terminate and be forfeited without consideration.
​
4.Issuance of Shares.  As soon as practicable after the Units become vested and non-forfeitable, but in no event later than March 15 following the calendar year of vesting, the Participant shall receive one share (the “Share” or “Shares”) of Company common stock for each vested Unit.  In the event that a fraction of a Share would be issued, the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.  Any delivery of Shares under this Agreement may be made by delivery of a share certificate or by means of a credit of Shares in book entry form.
​
5.Vesting.  The Units awarded to the Participant, except as otherwise provided herein, become vested and non-forfeitable to the extent, but only to the extent, that the Committee determines 

that the applicable Performance Criteria set forth in Exhibit A have been satisfied at the end of the Performance Cycle (the “Vesting Date”).    Notwithstanding the forfeiture provision of Section 3 hereof, the interest of the Participant in the Units vest as follows:
​
		(a)	a pro rata number of Units upon termination of the Participant’s relationship with the Company due to death, Disability or Retirement (collectively a “DDR Event”) during the Performance Cycle, but only with respect to Units that would otherwise have vested at the end of the Performance Cycle.  For the purposes of this Section 5(a), the pro rata number of Units that vest equals the product obtained by multiplying the total number of Units awarded pursuant to this Agreement that would have vested based on performance by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days commencing July 1, 2022 and ending on the date of the DDR Event, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Cycle.

​
		(b)	all of the Units vest upon a Change in Control if the effective date thereof is after December 31, 2023.  If the effective date of the Change in Control occurs prior to or on December 31, 2023, a pro rata number of Units vest upon such Change in Control (unless the Committee, in its discretion, determines to vest all Units upon Change in Control without proration).  For the purposes of this Section 5(b), the pro rata number of Units that vest equals the product obtained by multiplying the total number of Units awarded pursuant to this Agreement by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days commencing on July 1, 2022 and ending on the effective date of the Change in Control, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the period commencing July 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2023.

​
		(c)	if a Participant’s relationship with the Company terminates due to a DDR Event and subsequent thereto (but prior to June 30, 2025) there is a Change in Control, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the number of Units which vest and the number of Shares issuable to the Participant, the Participant’s guardian, personal representative or estate, as the case may be, equals the product obtained by multiplying the total number of Units subject to this Agreement by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days commencing July 1, 2022 and ending on the date of the DDR Event, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the period commencing July 1, 2022 and ending on the effective date of the Change in Control.

​
	6.	Restrictions on Transfer.  The Units awarded pursuant to this Agreement may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred and may not be subject to lien, garnishment, attachment or other legal process.

​
	7.	Rights as a Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents.  

​
		(a)	The Participant does not have any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Units unless and until the Units vest and are settled in Shares. 
​

		(b)	The Participant shall not be entitled to receive any dividend equivalent payments with respect to the Shares underlying the Units unless and until such Units vest.  Within 60 days following the date on which the Units vest, the Company will pay the Participant in respect of each Unit that has vested, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash dividends that would have been 

			paid in respect of the Shares underlying such earned Units had such Shares been outstanding (as of the applicable record date with respect to the payment of the related dividend) through the vesting date of such RSUs and the settlement of the underlying shares.

​
	8.	Taxes.  Participant is liable for any and all taxes, including withholding taxes, arising out of this grant, the vesting of Units, the payments contemplated by Section 7(b) of this Agreement and the issuance of Shares hereunder.  

​
	9.	Claw-back.  Participant acknowledges and agrees that the grant of the Units and the issuance of Shares is subject to the applicable provisions of any claw-back or similar policy implemented by the Company, whether implemented prior to or after the grant of this Award.

​
	10.	Miscellaneous

​
		(a)	Neither this Agreement nor the granting or vesting of Units confers upon the Participant any right to continue as a Participant, nor does it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an affiliate to terminate Participant’s status as a Participant at any time.

​
		(b)	The parties agree to execute such further documents and instruments and to take such action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

​
		(c)	This Award is governed by the laws of the State of Maryland (without regard to its choice of law principles) and applicable Federal law.

​
		(d)	Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee has the right to amend this Agreement, prospectively or retroactively; provided that no such amendment or alteration shall adversely affect Participant's material rights under this Agreement without Participant's consent and pursuant to a writing executed by the parties hereto which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement. 

​
		(e)	This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof.  They supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) that relate to the subject matter hereof.  

​
This Agreement has been executed and delivered by the parties as of the date hereof.

EXHIBIT A
​
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
​
The number of Restricted Stock Units (“Units”) that vest, will be determined by the Compensation Committee as soon as practicable after the completion of the three-year Performance Cycle (which commences July 1, 2022 and ends June 30, 2025), using the following Performance Criteria:
​
Return on Capital:  The issuance of Shares underlying the ROC Units identified on the cover page of this Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of an average annual return on capital metric during the Performance Cycle.  If the average of the annual return on capital during the Performance Cycle is:
​
		●	at least 8.75%, all the ROC Units vest;

		●	less than 6.0%, none of the ROC Units vest; and

		●	equals or exceeds 6.0% but less than 8.75%, then the number of ROC Units that vest will be determined by linear interpolation.  

​
Return on capital means adjusted funds from operations, as determined below, divided by average capital, as determined below.  Adjusted funds from operations means funds from operations, determined in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts definition, adjusted for straight-line rent accruals and amortization of lease intangibles, and adding and deducting gains and losses, respectively, on sales of properties. Gains and/or losses on property sales shall equal the sales price for a property less the purchase price, costs of capital improvements and costs of sale.  Such return shall be calculated for each twelve-month period beginning July 1, 2022.  Average capital is defined as stockholders’ equity, plus depreciation and amortization, adjusted for intangibles, and for each twelve month period during the Performance Cycle, shall be measured by reference to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the sum of the capital as of July 1 and the following June 30 by (b) two. The average annual return on capital shall be determined for each twelve-month period beginning July 1, 2022, 2023 and 2024, and whether and to the extent an award vests, will be based on the average of such averages.
​
Total Stockholder Return:  The issuance of Shares underlying the TSR Units identified on the cover page of this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of an average annual total stockholder return metric during the Performance Cycle.  Total stockholder return for each twelve month period beginning July 1 shall be calculated as follows:  the closing price per share on the NYSE of the Company’s common stock at the end of the measuring period (the applicable June 30th) minus the closing price per share on the NYSE of the Company’s common stock at the start of the measuring period (the applicable July 1st) plus all dividends paid during the measurement period shall be divided by the closing price per share on the NYSE of the Company’s common stock at the commencement of the measuring period (the applicable July 1st).  Once total stockholder return has been calculated for each of the three years in the Performance Cycle, the average of the total stockholder return for each twelve month period during the Performance Cycle shall be determined, and such average shall be the average annual total stockholder return of the Performance Cycle.  If the average annual total stockholder return during the Performance Cycle is:
​
		●	at least 11.0%, all of the TSR Units vest;

		●	less than 6.0%, none of the TSR Units vest; and

		●	equals or exceeds 6.0% but less than 11.0%, then the number of TSR Units that vest will be determined by linear interpolation.
