FEDERAL REALTY INVESTMENT TRUST 

3.20% Note due 2029 
 This Note
is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of September 1, 1998 (herein called the
“Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of which this Note is a
part), 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
Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the duly authorized series of Securities designated as “3.20% Notes due 2029” (collectively, the
“Notes”), and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be issued under such series is limited to $400,000,000 as of the date hereof (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of
other Notes). This Note forms a single series with the 3.20% Notes due 2029 first issued by the Company as of June 7, 2019. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of any Securities, create and issue additional notes in the future
having the same terms other than the date of original issuance, the issue price and the date on which interest begins to accrue so as to form a single series with the Notes. The Notes are the unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company
and rank equally with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

If an Event of Default, as defined herein, shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 As used herein: 

“Event of Default” means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and
whether or not it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): 

(1)    default in the payment of any interest upon or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of the
Notes when such interest or Additional Amounts becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; 

(2)    default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) the Notes when it becomes due
and payable at its Maturity; 
 (3)    default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as
due by the terms of the Notes; 

 (4)    default in the performance, or a breach, of any
covenant or agreement by the Company under the Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this definition of Event of Default specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default
or breach for a period of 60 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 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 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 the Indenture; 

(5)    default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the
Company (including obligations under leases required to be reflected on the balance sheet of the lessee as financing lease liabilities under generally accepted accounting principles but not including any indebtedness or obligations for which
recourse is limited to one or more properties) in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $50,000,000 or under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness
for money borrowed by the Company (including such leases but not including such indebtedness or obligations for which recourse is limited to one or more properties) in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $50,000,000 by the Company, whether
such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable or such
obligations being accelerated, without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled; 
 (6)    a
court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 
 (a)    is for relief against
the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case, 
 (b)    appoints a Custodian of the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of either of its property, or 
 (c)    orders the liquidation of
the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days; or 

(7)    the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

 (a)    commences a voluntary case or proceeding, 

(b)    consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding, 

(c)    consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or 

(d)    makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

 The defeasance and covenant defeasance provisions of the Indenture apply to the Notes. The
Notes will not be entitled to the benefits of any sinking fund. 
 The Notes are subject to redemption at any time, in whole or in part, at
the election of the Company, at a redemption price equal to (x) if the Notes are redeemed before March 15, 2029 (the “Par Call Date”), the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, or (2) as
determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) on the Notes
to be redeemed, assuming that such Notes matured on, and that interest on such Notes was payable on, the Par Call Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis points (twenty one-hundredths of one percent) plus, in each case,
accrued interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date or (y) if the Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the
Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on this Note whose Stated Maturity Date is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holder of this Note, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the
close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. 
 As used herein: 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as
having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming for this purpose that such Notes matured on the Par Call Date) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the average of the Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer quotations, the average of
all such Quotations. 
 “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company. 

  
 6 

 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means a Primary Treasury Dealer
selected by each of (1) BofA Securities, Inc., Jefferies LLC and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any Reference Treasury Dealer ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer
(a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (2) any two other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any
Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury
Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 
 Notice of any redemption of the Notes
will be given by mail to Holders of Securities, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, all as provided in the Indenture. 

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the
Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of all Securities issued under the Indenture at the time Outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of not less than a majority of the
aggregate principal amount, in certain instances, of the Outstanding Securities of any series to waive, on behalf of all of the Holders of Securities of such series, 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 other Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
 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 premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
prescribed. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt (as defined below) if, immediately after giving
effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with generally

  
 7 

 
accepted accounting principles is greater than 60% of the sum of (without duplication) (i) Total Assets as of the end of the calendar quarter covered in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (ii) the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering
proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Company or any Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter, including those proceeds obtained in
connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt. 
 In addition to the foregoing limitation on the incurrence of Debt, the Company
will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt secured by any mortgage, lien, charge, pledge, encumbrance or security interest of any kind upon any property of the Company or any Subsidiary if, immediately after giving effect to the
incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis which is secured by any mortgage, lien, charge, pledge,
encumbrance or security interest on property of the Company or any Subsidiary is greater than 40% of the sum of (without duplication) (1) Total Assets as of the end of the calendar quarter covered in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (2) the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds
received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Company or any Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter, including those proceeds obtained in
connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt; provided, however, that for purposes of this limitation, the amount of obligations under capital leases shown as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet shall be
deducted from Debt and from Total Assets. 
 Furthermore, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if the
ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service (as defined below) to the Annual Debt Service Charge (as defined below) for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be
incurred shall have been less than 1.5 to 1, on an unaudited pro forma basis after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that: (i) such Debt and any other Debt incurred by the
Company and its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Debt, had occurred at the beginning of such period; (ii) the repayment or retirement of any
other Debt by the Company and its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had been repaid or retired at the beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit
facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period); (iii) in the case of Acquired Debt or Debt incurred in connection with any acquisition since the first day of such four-quarter period, the related
acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate 

  
 8

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

Furthermore, the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, will, at all times maintain an Unencumbered Total Asset Value (as defined

interest on, and original issue discount of, Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the amount of dividends which are payable in respect of any Disqualified Stock (as defined below).

Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) the reimbursement obligations, contingent or otherwise, in connection with any letters of credit actually issued or amounts representing the balance deferred and unpaid of the purchase price of any property or

Subsidiary with respect to 

  
 9 

 
redemption, repayment or other repurchase of any Disqualified Stock or (v) any lease of property by the Company or any Subsidiary as lessee which is reflected on the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet as a financing lease liability in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to the extent, in the case of items of indebtedness under (i) through (iii) above, that any such items (other than letters of
credit) would appear as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and also includes, to the extent not otherwise included, any obligation of the Company or any
Subsidiary to be liable for, or to pay, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise (other than for purposes of collection in the ordinary course of business or for the purposes of guaranteeing the payment of all amounts due and owing pursuant to leases to
which the Company is a party and has assigned its interest, provided that such assignee of the Company is not in default of any amounts due and owing under such leases), Debt of another Person (other than the Company or any Subsidiary) (it

 10 

 
unencumbered by any mortgage, lien, charge, pledge or security interest; provided, however, that in determining Unencumbered Total Asset Value for purposes of the covenant relating to the

 The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons
in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such
