This Sixth Amendment to the Credit Card Program Agreement (“Sixth Amendment”) is made and
entered into as of January 31, 2011 by and between HSBC Bank Nevada, National Association (“HSBC”
or “Bank”), and The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. (“Bon-Ton”) and amends that certain Credit Card Program
Agreement dated as of June 20, 2005, as previously amended (“Agreement”). This Sixth Amendment is
effective as of the 1st day of January, 2011 (“Sixth Amendment Effective Date”)

WHEREAS, the undersigned parties desire to amend the Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements set forth
below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, HSBC and Bon-Ton do hereby agree as follows:

1. Schedule 2.4 of the Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as set forth in Schedule 2.4
attached hereto.

2. Section 2.7(a) of the Agreement is deleted and replaced in its entirety to read as follows:

(a) Beginning on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, the Bank’s obligation to make
Marketing Fund Contributions will terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank
agrees to fund any marketing support that (i) was approved by the Operating Committee prior
to January 31, 2011; and (ii) would have been covered by the Marketing Fund Contribution
provisions of the Program Agreement if not terminated in this Sixth Amendment. Bank shall
pay Marketing Fund Contribution to Bon-Ton or the appropriate vendor within 30 days after
such expenditures are incurred. If the entire amount of the Marketing Fund Contribution
related to the current Program Year is not spent, then any remainder will revert to Bank.
The Bank agrees to continue to provide, at no cost to Bon-Ton, (i) full color billing
statements inclusive of relevant personalized messages, (ii) bangtails on remittance
envelopes and (iii) a Program Manager and a Marketing Manager as described below.

3. Schedule 2.7(a) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety.

4. The parties agree to work together in a cooperative manner to efficiently implement a Cardholder
terms change to the APR for new transactions on existing Accounts, which increase shall be
consistent with and no more than current new variable rate account pricing as of the Sixth
Amendment Effective Date and made as soon as possible in 2011.

5. The parties agree that the Bank may outsource Program functions related to customer care to its
affiliated company that is located in Manila, Philippines, with the exception of bi-lingual calls,
which will continue to be outsourced to Mexico. The parties further agree that the Bank may
outsource Program functions related to early delinquency collection calls to its affiliated
companies located in the Philippines or India.

 

 

 

6. The parties agree that Section 20 and Schedule 3-20 of the Third Amendment are deleted in their
entirety.

7. Section 11.3(e) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Section 11.3(e) Effects of Termination

(e) Bon-Ton’s Option to Purchase the Program Accounts.

(1) If this Agreement expires or is terminated by either Party for whatever reason,
Bon-Ton has the option to purchase, or arrange the purchase by a third party or parties
nominated by Bon-Ton (a “Nominated Purchaser” and collectively, the “Nominated
Purchasers”), of the Program Assets from Bank.

(2) Bank shall, twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term and
each Renewal Term, provide to Bon-Ton a master file of the Accounts with twenty-four months
of data and including customary portfolio level data. For the avoidance of doubt, the final
request and delivery of updated data as described in paragraph (6) of this section shall
initiate the time periods referenced in paragraph (3) of this section. For the avoidance of
doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, any purchase of the Accounts shall be completed on
or before the effective date of the termination. This data may be shared with third parties
subject to customary confidentiality arrangements acceptable to Bank.

(3) The purchase option given by Section 11.3(e)(1) is exercisable by Bon-Ton or the
Nominated Purchaser by serving notice on Bank no later than ninety (90) days after the
receipt of the information in paragraph (6) of this section; provided, however, that
Bon-Ton shall request such information within sixty (60) days following the date any party
receives written notice of the exercise of the other party’s termination rights pursuant to
this Agreement or if Bank exercises its rights pursuant to 11.2(a) Bon-Ton shall request
such information no later than one-hundred-and-twenty (120) days prior to the termination
date of this Agreement.

(4) If such purchase option is exercised, Bon-Ton or the Nominated Purchaser must
complete the purchase of the Accounts no later than the termination date of this Agreement.
If the purchase of the Accounts is completed prior to the termination date of this
Agreement, Bon-Ton shall return to Bank a pro rata portion of the Prepaid Program Payment
paid to Bon-Ton in the Purchase and Sale Agreement executed concurrent with this Agreement
equal to 1/84th of the Prepaid Program Payment for each Month, which would have
otherwise been remaining in the Initial Term but for the early purchase of the Accounts.

(5) The purchase price for the Accounts acquired shall be (x) with respect to
Cardholder Indebtedness that did not exist as of the Effective Date, 100% of such
Cardholder Indebtedness as of the date the Accounts are purchased pursuant to the purchase
option exercise (the “Option Purchase Date”), plus, to the extent not included in such
Cardholder Indebtedness, any interest accruing on such Cardholder Indebtedness between the
last Account billing date prior to the Option Purchase Date and the Option Purchase Date
and fees from such last billing date through the Option Purchase Date and (y) with
respect to Cardholder Indebtedness that did exist as of the Effective Date, the Fair Market
Value of such Cardholder Indebtedness (including accrued interest and fees) determined as
follows: (i) Bank and Bon-Ton (or its Nominated Purchaser) shall attempt to mutually
determine the fair market value of such Accounts; or, (ii) if the parties cannot reach such
agreement, each party shall nominate an appraiser who together shall select a third
appraiser to value such Accounts. All three (3) appraisers will value such Accounts.
Following these appraisals, the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the two closest
valuations provided by the appraisers; provided, however, if the median
valuation is equal to the mean of the three valuations, the Fair Market Value shall be
such median/mean value. For purposes of this paragraph (4), all Cardholder payments after
the Effective Date in respect of Accounts that exist as of the Effective Date shall be
credited first against Cardholder Indebtedness, including accrued interest and fees, that
exists as of the Effective Date until all such Cardholder Indebtedness is paid in full.

 

2

 

6) Bon-Ton and Bank shall use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize transaction
costs and Bank will provide Bon-Ton and/or its Nominated Purchasers and their
representatives with reasonably requested copies of management reports and records and
reasonably requested interviews with appropriate Bank management relating to the Program
Assets for the purpose of conducting customary due diligence investigations to determine
whether they wish to purchase the Program Assets. In addition, if the master file provided
in 11.3(e)(2) is more than six months old, Bank shall provide a master file of the Accounts
including twenty-four (24) months of data. If the master file provided in 11.3(e)(2) is
less than six months old, Bank shall update the master file by providing Account
information for the additional months that passed since the previous master file was
provided. This information shall include all data for the extended period for both new and
existing accounts. The information in this Section 11.3(e)(6) shall be provided by Bank as
soon as reasonably practical, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after a request by
Bon-Ton or its Nominated Purchasers; provided however, that Bank will be entitled to
require Bon-Ton and any Nominated Purchaser to enter into customary confidentiality
arrangements before providing them with such information. Bon-Ton shall request an update
of this information not more than three (3) times. The Parties shall not unreasonably
withhold or delay execution of a purchase agreement or any other documents reasonably
necessary to effectuate such sale. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that
the purchase date occurs as promptly as reasonably practicable following the execution of
such purchase agreement.

(7) Bank shall provide reasonable assistance in connection with the conversion of the
Program Assets to the systems of Bon-Ton or the Nominated Purchaser. Bank and Bon-Ton or
the Nominated Purchaser, shall negotiate and execute the terms of an interim servicing
agreement detailing the terms of the conversion of the Program Assets to the purchaser’s
system and, if requested, the obligation of the Bank to provide interim services to Bon-Ton
or the Nominated Purchaser, for a period not to exceed nine (9) months following the
purchase date of the Accounts. The interim servicing agreement shall provide for a
reasonable servicing fee to Bank for services provided through November 2012, and beginning
December 2012, the servicing fee shall cover Bank’s actual costs plus a reasonable mark-up.

(8) Rights of Bank if Purchase Option Not Exercised.

(i) If this Agreement expires or is terminated and Bon-Ton does not exercise its
purchase option referred to above or otherwise fails to exercise their option within the
time period specified above, Bon-Ton shall have no further rights to the Accounts. In such
event, Bank shall have the right on or after the expiration or termination of this
Agreement to issue to Cardholders a replacement or substitute credit card (which card must
not bear any Proprietary Designations of Bon-Ton or any of its Affiliates or any other
design features confusingly similar to the Proprietary Designations) with such
characteristics as Bank considers appropriate (the cost of card re-design and re-issue
being borne by Bank). Subject to Applicable Law, Bank shall also have the right to notify
Cardholders that Bank shall cease providing credit under the Accounts and require repayment
of all amounts outstanding on all Accounts until all Accounts have been repaid. Bank shall
also have the right to sell the Accounts to a third party purchaser other than any person
or entity that directly or indirectly competes with the business of Bon-Ton and its
Affiliates.

 

3

 

(ii) Following the termination of this Agreement for any reason, and the Post
Termination Transition Period, without the prior written consent of Bon-Ton, Bank shall no
longer use any of the Proprietary Designations of Bon-Ton or its Affiliates; provided that
thereafter Bank may continue to use the Bon-Ton Proprietary Designations solely to the
extent necessary to identify the Accounts in connection with the servicing, billing and
collection thereof and as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

8. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning afforded them in
the Agreement, as amended.

9. This Sixth Amendment supersedes all prior communications and shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise
modified herein, the terms and conditions of the Agreement, as amended, remain in full force and
effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereby execute this Sixth Amendment by their authorized
representatives.

as an ongoing payment a Revenue Participation Payment in the amount of [***] of Net Credit Sales
not related to Promotional Credit Plans (which includes Promotional Credit Plan Card Sales that are
related to mail, telephone and Internet orders) with respect to all Accounts. Beginning on
February 1, 2012 until June 20, 2012, Bank shall pay to Bon-Ton as an ongoing payment a Revenue

Exhibit 10.1

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”), is dated as of January 28, 2011 (the “Execution
Date”) and effective as of February 1, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Equity One, Inc.
(the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, and Thomas A. Caputo (“Executive”).

RECITALS

The Company believes that Executive’s services will continue to be integral to the success of the
Company. The Company wishes to retain the services of Executive and expects that Executive’s
contribution to the growth of the Company will be substantial. The Company desires to provide for
the employment of Executive on terms that will reinforce and encourage Executive’s attention and
dedication to the Company. Executive is willing to commit himself to serve the Company, on the
terms and conditions provided below.

Executive is currently employed by the Company pursuant to a certain Employment Agreement (as
heretofore amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Current Employment Agreement”),
effective as of March 14, 2008, which agreement, by its terms will, unless extended or renewed,
expire on January 31, 2011 unless earlier terminated. Subject to the earlier termination of the
Current Employment Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, the Company desires to continue to
employ Executive from and after the Effective Date on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, and subject to the earlier termination of the Current Employment Agreement pursuant to
the terms thereof, Executive desires to be so employed.

IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth below, the parties hereby agree
as follows:

AGREEMENT

     1. Employment. Subject to the earlier termination of the Current Employment
Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, the Company hereby agrees to employ Executive from and
after the Effective Date, and subject to the earlier termination of the Current Employment
Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, Executive hereby agrees to such employment, on the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth.

     2. Term. The period of employment of Executive by the Company hereunder (the
“Employment Period”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue through December 31,
2014 (or, in the event of any renewal and extension as contemplated hereby, the last day of the
relevant successive one-year renewal and extension period) or such earlier date on or as of which
this Agreement or Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated in accordance with the terms
hereof. Subject to this Agreement or Executive’s employment hereunder being terminated in
accordance with the terms hereof on or prior to December 31, 2014 (or, in the event of any renewal
and extension as contemplated hereby, the last day of the current successive one-year renewal and
extension period), this Agreement and the Employment Period automatically shall be renewed and
extended for successive one-year periods thereafter unless either party gives the other party prior
written notice at least six months before the expiration of

 

 

the Employment Period of that party’s intent to allow the Employment Period and this Agreement to
expire. As used herein, “End of Term Date” means December 31, 2014; provided, however, that, if
this Agreement and the Employment Period shall (as provided above) have been automatically renewed
and extended for any successive one-year period, “End of Term Date” means the last day of such
one-year period.

     3. Position and Duties. From the Effective Date and thereafter during the Employment
Period, Executive shall serve as the President of the Company and shall report s to the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and, as appropriate, to the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board”) or any committee thereof. Executive shall have those powers and duties normally
associated with such position and such other powers and duties as the Chief Executive Officer or
the Board properly may prescribe, provided that such other powers and duties are not inconsistent
with Executive’s position as President of the Company. Executive shall devote his full business
time, attention and energies to the Company’s affairs as are necessary to fully perform his duties
for the Company (other than absences due to illness or vacation). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company acknowledges that Executive has an interest in a real estate project in Bailey’s
Crossroads, Virginia and also serves as a trustee of The Hackley School located in Tarrytown, New
York and may devote time to these endeavors during the Employment Period; provided, however, that
such devotion of time shall not detrimentally interfere with the performance of his duties under
this Agreement.

     4. Place of Performance. The principal place of employment of Executive shall be at
the Company’s corporate offices in the New York City metropolitan area, subject to reasonable
travel as required in the performance of his duties outlined above.

     5. Compensation and Related Matters.

          (a) Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay Executive an annual
base salary of not less than $650,000 (“Base Salary”), which, for the purposes of this Section
5(a), shall be retroactively adjusted to January 1, 2011. Executive’s Base Salary shall be paid in
approximately equal installments in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices. If
the Company increases Executive’s Base Salary, such increased Base Salary shall then constitute the
Base Salary for all purposes of this Agreement.

          (b) Annual Cash Bonus.

          (i) The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) shall review
Executive’s performance with the Chief Executive Officer at least annually following each
calendar year of the Employment Period and cause the Company to award Executive an annual cash
bonus (“Bonus”) in such amount as the Compensation Committee shall reasonably determine as
fairly compensating and rewarding Executive for services rendered to the Company and/or as an
incentive for continued service to the Company. Subject to the immediately following sentence
of this Section 5(b)(i), the amount of Executive’s Bonus shall be determined in the sole and
absolute discretion of the Compensation Committee and shall depend on, among other things, the
Company’s achievement of certain performance levels established from time to time by the
Compensation Committee (such performance levels, as from time to time established by the

- 2 -

 

Compensation Committee, the “Performance Levels”), which may (in the sole and absolute
discretion of the Compensation Committee) include, without limitation, growth of earnings, funds
from operations per share of Company stock, earnings per share of Company stock and Executive’s
performance and contribution to increasing the funds from operations, as well as such individual
goals for Executive as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate. It is anticipated that
the Performance Levels will be set for each calendar year of the Employment Period so that
Executive can reasonably be expected to earn a Bonus for such calendar year in an amount equal
to fifty percent (50%) of the Base Salary of Executive for such calendar year. The Company
shall pay any Bonus to Executive on or before March 15th of the calendar year
following the calendar year to which such Bonus relates.

     (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Bonus shall be payable
hereunder to Executive with respect to any calendar year unless Executive is employed hereunder
by the Company as of the last day of such calendar year.

     (c) Restricted Stock.

               (i) Effective on the Execution Date, the Company shall grant to Executive, under an equity
compensation plan of the Company, sixty-nine thousand three hundred and three (69,333) shares of
the Company’s restricted stock. Half of the shares of the Company’s restricted stock so granted to
Executive shall vest on December 31, 2012 if either Executive is then employed hereunder by the
Company (the shares of the Company’s restricted stock that would so vest if Executive is employed
hereunder by the Company on December 31, 2012 are hereinafter referred to as the “First Tranche
Shares”) or such shares otherwise vest pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the remaining
half of those shares of the Company’s restricted stock so granted to Executive shall vest on
December 31, 2014 if either Executive is then employed hereunder by the Company (the shares of the
Company’s restricted stock that would so vest if Executive is employed hereunder by the Company on
December 31, 2014 are hereinafter referred to as the “Second Tranche Shares” and the First Tranche
Shares and Second Tranche Shares are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Non-Contingent
Shares”) or such shares otherwise vest pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Executive shall
not be entitled to receive on or with respect to any shares of the Company’s restricted stock
granted and issued pursuant to this Section 5(c)(i) any regular quarterly cash dividends that are
declared by the Board and payable or distributable to the Company’s stockholders of record prior to
the Effective Date or to vote any of such shares prior to the Effective Date, but (notwithstanding
that such shares of the Company’s restricted stock have not vested) Executive shall be entitled to
receive with respect to such shares (a) any special or extraordinary dividend or distribution
(including, without limitation, any securities issued or distributed to the Company’s stockholders
of record on or after the Execution Date in connection with any stock split, recapitalization,
stock exchange, merger, combination or other reorganization or similar transaction) to the
Company’s stockholders of record on or after the Execution Date and through the last day of the
Employment Period and, if such shares of the Company’s restricted stock have become vested,
thereafter and (b) any regular quarterly cash dividends to the Company’s stockholders of record on
or after the Effective Date and through the last day of the Employment Period and, if such shares
of the Company’s restricted stock have become vested, thereafter. The grant of shares of the
Company’s restricted stock made by the Company pursuant to this Section 5(c)(i) is hereinafter
referred to as the “Non-Contingent Grant.”

- 3 -

 

               (ii) Effective on the Execution Date, the Company shall grant to Executive, under an equity
compensation plan of the Company, three hundred seventy-three thousand three hundred and three
(373,333) shares of the Company’s restricted stock. All of such shares of the Company’s restricted
stock shall vest on December 31, 2014 if both (A) Executive is then employed hereunder by the
Company and (B) the Primary Benchmark (as hereinafter determined) has been achieved for the period
from the Effective Date through December 31, 2014; and one-half (1/2) of such shares of the Company’s
restricted stock shall vest on December 31, 2014 if both (Y) Executive is then employed hereunder
and (Z) the Secondary Benchmark (as hereinafter determined) has been achieved for the period from
the Effective Date through December 31, 2014. Alternatively, some or all of such shares of the
Company’s restricted stock may vest as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Executive shall not
be entitled to exercise any vote or right of consent associated with or attendant to any shares of
the Company’s restricted stock granted and issued pursuant to this Section 5(c)(ii) unless and
until such shares of the Company’s restricted stock have become vested, and except as and to the
extent provided in Section 5(c)(iii) below, Executive shall not be entitled to receive on or with
respect to any shares of the Company’s restricted stock granted and issued pursuant to this Section
5(c)(ii) any regular quarterly cash dividends or any other dividend or distribution (whether or not
special or extraordinary and whether or not consisting of any securities issued or distributed to
the Company’s stockholders of record in connection with any stock split, recapitalization, stock
exchange, merger, combination or other reorganization or similar transaction) unless and until such
shares of the Company’s restricted stock have become vested. The grant of shares of the Company’s
restricted stock made by the Company pursuant to this Section 5(c)(ii) is hereinafter referred to
as the “Contingent Grant,” and the shares of the Company’s restricted stock granted to Executive
pursuant to this Section 5(c)(ii) are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Contingent Grant
Shares.”

               (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (A) if, as the consequence
of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, combination or similar event occurring
after the Execution Date and prior to the date any Contingent Grant Shares vest as provided above
(such date, the “Vesting Date”), the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock has
been increased or decreased, then the shares of the Company’s common stock that shall then vest
shall be appropriately increased or decreased, respectively, and (B) upon the vesting of any
Contingent Grant Shares, Executive shall also be entitled to receive with respect to such
Contingent Grant Shares all such dividends and distributions (whether or not consisting of any
securities issued or distributed to the Company’s stockholders of record in connection with any
stock split, recapitalization, stock exchange, merger, combination or other reorganization or
similar transaction, exclusive, however, of any stock split or other issuance that has been taken
into account pursuant to the foregoing clause (A)), exclusive, however, of any regular
quarterly cash dividends, that would have been payable on and with respect to such Contingent
Grant Shares if Executive had been the holder of record of such Contingent Grant Shares on or after
the Effective Date and prior to the Vesting Date.

               (iv) For purposes of the foregoing and the other provisions of this Agreement, the following

Effective Date).

          “Company Investment” means an investment that is comprised of $10,000 invested in

substituted therefor as contemplated hereby) should merge, cease doing business or
otherwise, in the reasonable discretion of the Compensation Committee, no longer represent a
peer or comparable company to the Company, the Compensation Committee may remove such entity
from the Peer Companies and may (in the reasonable discretion of the Compensation

reasonable discretion is a peer or comparable company to the Company or to such removed
entity).

          “IRR of a Company Investment” means, for any specified period, the annual internal rate

          “Market Value” of a share of common stock or any other equity interest as of any date
means the average closing price of such share of common stock or other equity interest on
the principal stock exchange on which such share of common stock or other equity interest is

Company shall provide Executive with credit cards for the payment of business expenses issued
either in the name of the Company with Executive as authorized user or in the name of Executive for
the account of the Company, and balances thereon (to the extent they include charges for business
expenses for which Executive is entitled to reimbursement under the first sentence of this Section
5(d)) shall be payable by the Company. Executive shall maintain detailed records of such expenses
in such form as the Company may reasonably request and shall provide such records to the Company no
less frequently than monthly.

          (e) Vacation; Illness. Executive shall be entitled to the number of weeks of

prolonged illness resulting in absenteeism greater than the sick leave permitted herein or

          (f) Welfare, Pension and Incentive Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period,
Executive (and his wife and dependents to the extent provided therein and subject to their
qualifying therefor) shall be entitled to participate in and be covered under all the welfare
benefit plans or programs maintained by the Company from time to time on terms no less favorable
than generally provided for its other senior executive officers (exclusive of its Chief Executive
Officer and its Chairman), including, without limitation, all medical, hospitalization, dental,
disability, accidental death and dismemberment and travel accident insurance plans and programs.
In addition, during the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to participate in and be
covered under all pension, retirement, savings and other employee benefit, perquisite, change in
control and executive compensation plans and any annual incentive or long-term performance plans
and programs generally maintained from time to time by the Company on

- 6 -

 

terms no less favorable than generally provided for its other senior executive officers
(exclusive of its Chief Executive Officer and its Chairman). For purposes of clarification, plans
or programs or other benefits that are provided to any senior executive officer pursuant to the
provisions of any negotiated contract (including, without limitation, any provision similar to
Section 5(g) or (h) or Section 13(b) of this Agreement) shall not be deemed to be generally
provided for its other senior executive officers.

          (g) Automobile. During the Employment Period, the Company shall provide Executive
with daily transportation by car service, which service shall be acceptable to the Company, from
his residence to Place of Performance designated in Section 4 above.

          (h) Home Office. The parties understand that Executive may from time to time be
called upon to provide services to the Company from his home or while on the road. In order to
enable Executive to so perform such services, the Company shall, at its cost, provide Executive
with such equipment and services at his home, and such cellular telephone services and equipment,
as may be necessary and appropriate to enable him to so perform such services.

          (i) No Hedging. Without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer and
the approval of the Board, Executive agrees that neither he nor any of his designees shall be
permitted to (I) purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts,
equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the
market value of equity securities that (a) have been granted to Executive by the Company as part of
the compensation of Executive or (b) are held, directly or indirectly, by Executive or (II) engage
in any Disclosable Activity. As used herein, “Disclosable Activity” means, as of any time, any
conduct or activity (exclusive, however, of (a) the purchase or other acquisition of any of the
Company’s securities or the sale or other disposition of any of the Company’s securities and (b)
any bone fide pledge of any of the Company’s securities to secure any loan made by an independent
third party to Executive) with respect to which the Company at or as of such time would be
required, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or any rule or regulation adopted or promulgated under either such Act, to
make disclosure if Executive (or any designee of Executive) were to engage in such conduct or
activity or if Executive (or any designee of Executive) were permitted to engage in such conduct or
activity.

          (j) Continuation of Entitlement to certain Benefits under Current Employment
Agreement. As long as the Current Employment Agreement is not, pursuant to the terms thereof,
terminated prior to the expiration of the term thereof, then, notwithstanding its expiration,
Executive shall be entitled to receive, for and with respect to the 2010 calendar year, (i) such
bonus as Executive would have been entitled to receive under Section 5(b) of the Current Employment
Agreement if the Current Employment Agreement had been renewed and extended for the entire 2011
calendar year and Executive had continued to be employed thereunder and (ii) such grant of stock
options and/or shares of restricted stock as Executive would have been entitled to receive under
Section 5(c)(iii) of the Current Employment Agreement if the Current Employment Agreement had been
renewed and extended for the entire 2011 calendar year and Executive had continued to be employed
thereunder. Any stock options that are granted to Executive by the Company as contemplated by this
Section 5(j) are, together with all stock options granted to Executive by the Company prior to the
Effective Date, sometimes referred to

- 7 -

 

herein collectively as the “Pre-Effective Stock Options,” and any shares of the Company’s
restricted stock that are granted to Executive by the Company as contemplated by this Section 5(j)
are, together with all shares of the Company’s restricted stock granted to Executive by the Company
prior to the Effective Date (exclusive, however, of any Non-Contingent Shares and any Contingent
Grant Shares), sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Pre-Effective Grant Shares.”

     6. Termination. Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated during the
Employment Period under the following circumstances:

          (a) Death. Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.

          (b) Disability. If, as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental
illness, Executive shall have been substantially unable to perform his duties hereunder for an
entire period in excess of one hundred twenty (120) days in any 12-month period despite any
reasonable accommodation available from the Company, the Company shall have the right to terminate
Executive’s employment hereunder for “Disability”, and such termination in and of itself shall not
be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.

          (c) Without Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s
employment for any reason or for no reason, which termination shall be deemed to be without Cause
unless made for any of the reasons specified in Section 6(d) below, and such termination in and of
itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.

          (d) Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment for
Cause, and such termination in and of itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach
of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall have “Cause” to terminate
Executive’s employment upon Executive’s:

               (i) Breach of any material provisions of this Agreement;

               (ii) Conviction of a felony, capital crime or any crime involving moral turpitude, including,
but not limited to, crimes involving illegal drugs; or

               (iii) Willful misconduct that is materially economically injurious to the Company or to any
Company Affiliate (as defined below).

For purposes of this Section 6(d), no act, or failure to act, by Executive shall be considered
“willful” unless committed in bad faith or without a reasonable belief that the act or omission was
in the best interests of the Company or any Company Affiliate; provided, however, that the willful
requirement outlined in clause (iii) above shall be deemed to have occurred if Executive’s action
or non-action continues for more than ten (10) days after Executive has received written notice of
the inappropriate action or non-action. Failure to achieve performance goals, in and of itself,
shall not be grounds for a termination for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company
Affiliate” means as any entity in control of, controlled by or under common control with the
Company or in which the Company owns a material amount of common or preferred

- 8 -

 

stock or interest or any entity in control of, controlled by or under common control with such
entity in which the Company owns any common or preferred stock or interest.

Cause shall not exist under clause (i) or (iii) above unless and until the Company has delivered to
Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by a majority of the Board (excluding Executive and
any other officer or employee of the Company for purposes of determining such majority) at a
meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose, finding that, in the good faith opinion of
the Board, Executive was guilty of the conduct set forth in clause (i) or (iii) above and
specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable detail. However, in the case of conduct described
in clause (i) above, Cause will not be considered to exist unless (a) Executive is given notice of
such breach and (b) if such breach can reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, such breach
has, within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, been cured to the satisfaction of the
Board or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, Executive has
promptly commenced to cure such breach, has thereafter diligently taken all appropriate steps to
cure such breach as quickly as reasonably practical and has cured such breach within sixty (60)
days after the date of such notice, all to the satisfaction of the Board. In the event a final
determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Company’s termination of
Executive under this Section 6(d) does not meet the definition of Cause, Executive will be deemed
to have been terminated by the Company without Cause.

          (e) Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” means:

               (i) Consummation by the Company of (A) a reorganization, merger, consolidation or other form
of corporate transaction or series of transactions, in each case, other than a reorganization,
merger or consolidation or other transaction that would result in the holders of the voting
securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto holding securities that represent
immediately after such transaction more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting
securities of the Company or the surviving company or the parent of the surviving company, (B) a
liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (C) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company;

               (ii) Individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”)
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided (A) that any person
becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by
the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then
comprising the Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial
assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the
election of the Directors of the Company, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or (B) any individual appointed
to the Board by the Incumbent Board shall be, for purposes of this Agreement, considered as though
such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or

               (iii) The acquisition (other than from the Company) by any person, entity or “group,” within
the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of
more than 26% of either the then outstanding shares of the

- 9 -

 

Company’s common stock or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting
securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (hereinafter referred to as the
ownership of a “Controlling Interest”) excluding, for this purpose, any acquisitions by (A) the
Company or its subsidiaries, or (B) any person, entity or “group” that as of the Effective Date
beneficially owns (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) a Controlling Interest of the Company or any affiliate of such person, entity
or “group.”

Executive acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement if, after
the consummation of any of the events described in the definition of a Change in Control, Chaim
Katzman remains Chairman of the Board of the Successor Employer (as hereinafter defined) and if
Gazit, Inc. and its affiliates own in the aggregate 33% or more of the outstanding voting
securities of the Successor Employer. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Successor
Employer” shall mean the Company, the reorganized, merged or consolidated Company (or the successor
thereto), or the acquiror (through merger or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company, as the case may be.

          (f) Resignation Other Than For Good Reason. Executive shall have the right to resign
his employment hereunder by providing the Company with a Notice of Termination, as provided in
Section 7 below. Any termination pursuant to this Section 6(f) shall not in and of itself be, nor
shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.

          (g) Resignation For Good Reason. Executive shall have the right to resign his
employment hereunder for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall have “Good
Reason” to resign his employment hereunder upon:

               (i) the material breach by the Company of any of its agreements set forth herein and the
failure of the Company to correct such breach within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the
Company of written notice from Executive specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such breach;
or

               (ii) except as consented to by Executive, any substantial or material diminution of
Executive’s responsibilities, including, without limitation, reporting responsibilities and/or
title.

     7. Termination Procedure.

          (a) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment by the Company or by
Executive (whether by resignation or otherwise) during the Employment Period, except termination
due to Executive’s death pursuant to Section 6(a) above, shall be communicated by written Notice of
Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 15 below. For purposes of this
Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice that states the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the
provision so stated. Any Notice of Termination given by Executive shall be deemed a resignation by
Executive as an officer and employee of the

- 10 -

 

Company and any subsidiary thereof and, if Executive is a member of the Board (or any board of
directors of any subsidiary) or any committee thereof (or of any such board of directors), as such
member; provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, waive such
resignation.

          (b) Date of Termination. The effective date of any termination of Executive’s
employment by the Company or by Executive (whether by resignation or otherwise) (the “Date of
Termination”) shall be (i) if Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of his
death, and (ii) if Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason by the Company or by
Executive (whether by resignation or otherwise), the date on which a Notice of Termination is given
or any later date (within thirty (30) days after the giving of such Notice of Termination) set
forth in such Notice of Termination.

     8. Compensation Upon Termination or During Disability. If Executive experiences a
Disability or his employment terminates during the Employment Period, the Company shall provide
Executive with the payments and other benefits (which, for the purposes of this Agreement, shall
include, without limitation, any accelerated or automatic vesting of any unvested shares of
restricted stock or of any unvested stock options) set forth below; provided, however, as a
specific condition to being entitled to any payments or other benefits under this Section 8 (other
than pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8(a)(i) and Sections 8(a)(viii) and (ix), 8(b)(i), (ix) and
(x) and 8(c)(i), (ii) and (iii) hereof), Executive must, within fifty-five (55) days after the Date
of Termination, (a) have resigned as a director, trustee, officer and employee of the Company and

any subsidiary) or any committee thereof (or of any such board of directors), as such member and
(b) have executed and delivered to the Company a release of both the Company and Company Affiliates
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (and have not revoked such release for a period of
seven (7) days following its execution by Executive and its delivery to the Company) (the
conditions set forth in this proviso are hereafter sometimes referred to collectively as the
“Qualifying Conditions”). Executive acknowledges and agrees that the payments and other benefits
set forth in this Section 8 constitute liquidated damages for termination of his employment during
the Employment Period, which the parties hereto have agreed to as being reasonable, and Executive
acknowledges and agrees that he shall have no other remedies in connection with or as a result of
any such termination and, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, shall not be entitled to
any other payments or benefits on account of or with respect to any such termination. As used
herein, “Entitlement Commencement Date” means the sixtieth (60th) day following the
Termination Date.

          (a) Disability; Death. During any period that Executive fails to perform his duties
hereunder as a result of a Disability, Executive shall continue to be entitled to receive his full
Base Salary as set forth (and subject to the conditions) in Section 5(a) above and his full Bonus
as set forth (and subject to the conditions) in Section 5(b) above until his employment is
terminated pursuant to Section 6(b) above or otherwise as provided herein. In addition, if on or
after the Effective Date Executive’s employment is terminated for Disability pursuant to Section
6(b) above or due to Executive’s death pursuant to Section 6(a) above, then the following shall
apply.

defined) of the Second Tranche Shares shall vest. If the Termination Date is after December 31,
2012 but on or prior to December 31, 2014, then, subject to the Qualifying Conditions, on the

               (vi) All other unvested stock options and unvested shares of the Company’s restricted stock
granted to Executive prior to the Date of Termination will not vest and will be forfeited, returned
to the Company and, at the Company’s election, may be cancelled by the Company (with it being
agreed and understood, for avoidance of doubt, that, if the Current Employment Agreement is
terminated pursuant to the terms thereof prior to the Effective Date, none of the shares of the
Company’s restricted stock that are granted and issued under this Agreement as part of the
Non-Contingent Grant or the Contingent Grant will be or become vested and all of such shares of the
Company’s restricted stock will be forfeited, returned to the Company and, at the Company’s

and upon substantially the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, contributions
required by Executive for such benefits) as existed immediately prior to the Date of Termination;
provided, that, if Executive, his spouse or his dependents (subject to their qualifying therefor)
cannot continue to participate in the Company programs providing such benefits, the Company shall
(subject to the next following sentence) arrange to provide Executive (if his employment is
terminated for Disability) and Executive’s spouse and dependents (subject to their qualifying
therefor) with the economic equivalent of such benefits that they otherwise would have been
entitled to receive under such plans and programs. The Company shall only be obligated to pay or
incur an aggregate amount up to $30,000 per annum (pro rated for any period less that a year) in so

compensation and/or benefits as may be due to Executive or his estate or named beneficiaries in
accordance with the terms and provisions of any other agreements, plans or programs of the Company
(provided, however, that, to the extent that any such agreement, plan or program makes provision
with respect to any of the matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (viii), the
provisions of such clauses shall supersede and govern).

          (b) Termination By Company Without Cause, Termination by Executive for Good Reason.

then current Base Salary for the balance of the Employment Period without giving effect to an
earlier termination of the Employment Period or this Agreement based on the termination of
Executive’s employment or (B) an amount equal to Executive’s average annual Bonus, if any, for the
three most recently completed calendar years plus two (2) times Executive’s then current Base
Salary (provided, however, that, if a Change in Control shall have occurred within twelve (12)
months prior to the Date of Termination, the amount provided for in this clause (B) shall be
increased to an amount equal to Executive’s average annual Bonus, if any, for the three most
recently completed calendar years plus two and nine-tenths (2.9) times Executive’s then current
Base Salary).

               (iii) Subject to the Qualifying Conditions, on the Entitlement Commencement Date all unvested
stock options granted to Executive prior to the Date of Termination that would have vested on or

Conditions, on the Entitlement Commencement Date a portion, equal to the product of the Applicable
Contingent Fraction (as hereinafter defined) times the Benchmark Fraction (as hereinafter defined),
of any Contingent Grant Shares that are unvested as of the Date of Termination shall vest. As used
in this Section 8(b),

“Applicable Contingent Fraction” means, with respect to any Contingent Grant
Shares, a fraction (which shall not be greater than one (1)), the numerator
of which is the number of days that have elapsed from January 1, 2011
through the end of the Fraction Measurement Period (as hereinafter defined)
and the denominator of which is one thousand four hundred and sixty-one
(1,461), and

“Benchmark Fraction” means: (i) if the Primary Benchmark has been achieved

(1); (ii) if the Secondary Benchmark has been achieved for the period from
the Effective Date through the Date of Termination, one-half (1/2); or (iii)

granted to Executive prior to the Date of Termination will not vest and will be forfeited, returned
to the Company and, at the Company’s election, may be cancelled by the Company (with it being
agreed and understood, for avoidance of doubt, that, if the Current Employment Agreement is
terminated pursuant to the terms thereof prior to the Effective Date, none of the shares of the
Company’s restricted stock that are granted and issued under this Agreement will be or become
vested and all of such shares of the Company’s restricted stock will be forfeited, returned to the
Company and, at the Company’s election, may be cancelled by the Company). In addition and for the

defined), the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of
Executive, his spouse and his dependents (subject to their qualifying therefor) the medical,
hospitalization, dental and life insurance programs in which Executive, his spouse and his
dependents were participating immediately prior to the Date of Termination at the level in effect
and upon substantially the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, contributions
required by Executive for such benefits) as existed immediately prior to the Date of Termination;
provided, that, if Executive, his spouse or his dependents (subject to their qualifying therefor)
cannot continue to participate in the Company programs providing such benefits, the Company shall
(subject to the next following sentence) arrange to provide Executive, his spouse and his
dependents (subject to their qualifying therefor) with the economic equivalent of such benefits
that they otherwise would have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs. The Company
shall only be obligated to pay or incur an aggregate amount up to $30,000 per annum (pro rated for
any period less that a year) in so arranging to provide Executive, his spouse and his dependents
with the economic equivalent of such benefits that they otherwise would have been entitled (subject
to their qualifying therefor) to receive under such plans and programs.

               (ix) The Company shall reimburse Executive, pursuant to Section 5(d) above, for reasonable
expenses incurred by Executive, but not reimbursed, prior to the Date of Termination.

               (x) Executive shall be entitled to such other rights, compensation and/or benefits as may be
due to Executive in accordance with the terms and provisions of any other agreements, plans or
programs of the Company (provided, however, that, to the extent that any such agreement, plan or
program makes provision with respect to any of the matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (i)
through (viii), the provisions of such clauses shall supersede and govern).

For the purposes of this Section 8(b), “Fraction Measurement Period” means the period beginning on
the Date of Termination and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Date of
Termination or, if earlier, the End of Term Date; provided, however, that, if a Change in Control

- 15 -

 

shall have occurred within twelve (12) months prior to the Date of Termination, the “Fraction
Measurement Period” means the period beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the third
(3rd) anniversary of the Date of Termination or, if earlier, the End of Term Date, and
“Continuation Period” means the period beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the last

resignation other than for Good Reason, then the following shall apply:

               (i) The Company shall pay Executive his unpaid Base Salary and, to the extent required by law
or the Company’s vacation policy, his accrued vacation pay through the Date of Termination, as soon
as practicable following the Date of Termination.

               (ii) The Company shall reimburse Executive, pursuant to Section 5(d) above, for reasonable
expenses incurred by Executive, but not reimbursed, prior to the Date of Termination, unless such

due to Executive in accordance with the terms and provisions of any other agreements, plans or
programs of the Company (provided, however, that, to the extent that any such agreement, plan or
program makes provision with respect to any of the matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (i)
and (ii) and clause (iv) below, the provisions of such clauses shall supersede and govern).

               (iv) All unvested stock options and unvested shares of the Company’s restricted stock granted
to Executive prior to the Date of Termination will not vest and will be forfeited, returned to the
Company and, at the Company’s election, may be cancelled by the Company (with it being agreed and
understood, for avoidance of doubt, that, if the Current Employment Agreement is terminated
pursuant to the terms thereof prior to the Effective Date, none of the shares of the Company’s
restricted stock that are granted and issued under this Agreement as part of the Non-Contingent
Grant or the Contingent Grant will be or become vested and all of such shares of the Company’s
restricted stock will be forfeited, returned to the Company and, at the Company’s election, may be
cancelled by the Company). In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Date of Termination
shall occur prior to the last day of a calendar year, no Bonus shall be payable to Executive with
respect to such calendar year.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8 or elsewhere in this
Agreement, to the extent the Company has any obligation hereunder to maintain, for the continued
benefit of Executive, his spouse and/or his dependents, any medical, hospitalization, dental and/or
life insurance programs or to arrange to provide Executive, his spouse and/or his dependents with
the economic equivalent of such benefits, such obligation shall (except to the extent prohibited
under applicable law) immediately cease and terminate with respect to any such programs or benefits
that are provided or are offered or made available by an employer or other third party to
Executive, his spouse and/or his dependents; and Executive (or, in the event of his death, his
estate or legal representative) shall forthwith advise the Company in writing as

- 16 -

 

soon as any such programs or benefits are so provided, or are so offered or made available, to
Executive, his spouse and/or his dependents.

          (d) Bonus. If the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder occurs as of or
after the end of any calendar year of the Company for which a Bonus is payable to Executive
pursuant to Section 5(b) above and Executive’s termination occurs prior to the date such Bonus is
paid for such calendar year, Executive (or his estate, as the case may be) shall be entitled to
payment of such Bonus that is earned for such calendar year without regard to whether Executive’s
termination of employment precedes the date such Bonus is payable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

          (e) Tax Compliance Delay in Payment. If the Company reasonably determines that any
payment or benefit due under this Section 8, or any other amount that may become due to Executive
after termination of employment, would result in an excise tax to Executive under Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”), as amended, because Executive is a “specified
employee,” as defined in Code Section 409A, upon termination of Executive’s employment for any
reason other than death (whether by resignation or otherwise), no amount may be paid to Executive
earlier than six months after the date of termination of Executive’s employment and payment shall
be made, or commence to be made, as the case may be, on the date that is six months and one day
after the termination of Executive’s employment, together with interest at the rate of five percent
(5%) per annum beginning with the date one day after the Date of Termination until the date of
payment.

          (f) Expiration of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties confirm
that, upon the expiration of the Employment Period, the non-renewal of this Agreement or the
termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason or for no reason shall not be
considered a termination by Company without Cause or termination by Executive for Good Reason, and
except as herein otherwise expressly provided, Executive shall not be entitled to any termination
payments or other benefits as a consequence thereof.

          (g) Options. Executive shall have the right to exercise all vested stock options
within the six (6) month period immediately following Executive’s termination of employment;
provided, however, that, in the event Executive voluntarily terminates his employment for other
than Good Reason or the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause, Executive shall only
have ninety (90) days following termination of his employment to exercise such stock options.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, neither the six-month period nor the
90-day period referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to extend the
expiration date of any stock option beyond the date stated in such stock option, and such stock
option shall no longer be exercisable upon the lapse of such six-month period or 90-day period, as
may be applicable, or (if sooner) upon the date specified in such stock option.

     9. Repayment By Executive. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the bonuses and
other incentive-based or equity-based compensation received by him from the Company, and any
profits realized from the sale of securities of the Company, are subject to the forfeiture and
clawback requirements set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other applicable laws, rules
and regulations, under the circumstances set forth therein. If any such forfeiture or clawback is
required pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or other applicable law, rule or

- 17 -

 

regulation, then within thirty (30) days after notice thereof from the Company, Executive shall pay
to the Company the amount required to be repaid or forfeited.

     10. Confidential Information; Ownership of Documents and Other Property.

          (a) Confidential Information. Without the prior written consent of the Company,
except as may be required by law, Executive will not, at any time, either during or after his
employment by the Company, directly or indirectly divulge or disclose to any person, entity, firm
or association, including, without limitation, any future employer, or use for his own or others’
benefit or gain, any financial information, prospects, customers, tenants, suppliers, clients,
sources of leads, methods of doing business, intellectual property, plans, products, data, results
of tests or any other trade secrets or confidential materials or like information of the Company,
including (but not by way of limitation) any and all information and instructions, technical or
otherwise, prepared or issued for the use of the Company (collectively, the “Confidential
Information”), it being the intent of the Company, with which intent Executive hereby agrees, to
restrict him from dissemination or using any like information that is not readily available to the
general public.

          (b) Information is Property of Company. All books, records, accounts, tenant,
customer, client and other lists, tenant, customer and client street and e-mail addresses and
information (whether in written form or stored in any computer medium) relating in any manner to
the business, operations or prospects of the Company and any of its subsidiaries, whether prepared
by Executive or otherwise coming into Executive’s possession, (all of the foregoing are hereinafter
referred to collectively as the “Company Records”) shall be the exclusive property of the Company
and shall be returned to the Company immediately upon the expiration or termination of Executive’s
employment or at the Company’s request at any time. Upon the expiration or termination of his
employment, Executive will immediately deliver to the Company all lists, books, records, schedules,
data and other information (including all copies) of every kind relating to or connected with the
Company and its activities, business and customers.

     11. Restrictive Covenant; Notice of Activities.

          (a) Non-Competition. During the Employment Period and for a period of one (1) year
after the expiration or termination of Executive’s employment, whether by resignation or otherwise,
(except if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for
Good Reason or results from the non-renewal of this Agreement or failure of a Successor Employer to
assume and be bound by this Agreement) Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of
the Board, directly or indirectly, (i) enter into the employment of, render any services to, invest
in, lend money to, engage, manage, operate, own or otherwise offer other assistance to, or
participate in, as an officer, director, manager, employee, principal, proprietor, representative,
stockholder, member, partner, associate, consultant or otherwise, any person or entity that
competes, plans to compete or is considering competing with the Company in any business of the
Company existing or proposed at the time Executive shall cease to perform services hereunder (a
“Competing Entity”) in any state or with respect to any region of the United States, in either case
in which the Company conducts material operations (defined as accounting for 10% or more of the
Company’s revenue), or owns assets the value of which totals 10% or more of the total value of the
Company’s assets, at any time during the term of this

- 18 -

 

Agreement (collectively, the “Territory”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall be
permitted to own up to a five percent (5%) equity interest in a publicly traded Competing Entity

          (b) Non-Interference with Business Relationships. During the Employment Period and
for a period of one (1) year after the expiration or termination of Executive’s employment, for any
reason whatsoever and whether by resignation or otherwise, Executive shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly, (i) interfere with or disrupt or diminish or
attempt to disrupt or diminish, or take any action that could reasonably be expected to disrupt or
diminish, any past or present or prospective relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the
Company (or any of its subsidiaries) and any tenant, customer, supplier, sales representative,
consultant or employee of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) or (ii) solicit for employment
or attempt to employ, or assist any other person or entity in employing or soliciting for
employment, either on a full-time or part-time or consulting basis, any employee (whether salaried
or otherwise, union or non-union) of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) who within one year
prior thereto had been employed by the Company (or any of its subsidiaries).

          (c) Return of Confidential Information and Company Property. Executive shall not upon
expiration or termination of this Agreement take or retain any document or other medium that
constitutes, contains or represents any Confidential Information or Company Record, and as soon as
reasonably possible following any such expiration or termination, Executive shall deliver to the
Company (i) all Confidential Information and Company Records (including all copies and excerpts
thereof) and (ii) any and all property of the Company or its subsidiaries in Executive’s possession
or control, including any codes, manuals, cellular telephones, computers, palm pilots, software,
hardware, floppy disks, corporate credit cards, keys, electronic beeper or other electronic device,
data and other documents and materials that was provided or made available to Executive for the
conduct of his duties hereunder during his employment or other retention by the Company or any of
its subsidiaries, whether during or prior to the term of this Agreement.

          (d) Notice and Procedure. Executive shall, prior to accepting any employment or
engagement with any person or entity, inform such person or entity in writing of his noncompetition
obligations under this Agreement. Executive shall also inform the Company in writing of such
prospective employment or engagement prior to accepting such employment or engagement. If the
Company or Executive has any concerns that any of Executive’s proposed or actual post-employment
activities may be restricted by, or otherwise in violation of, this Section 11, such party shall
notify the other party of such concerns and, prior to the Company commencing any action to enforce
its rights under this Section 11 or Executive seeking a declaratory judgment with respect to his
obligations under this Section 11, the Company and Executive shall meet and confer to discuss the
prospective employment or engagement and shall provide the other party with an opportunity to
explain why such prospective employment or engagement either does or does not violate this Section
11; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to give notice under this clause and to meet
with Executive before commencing any action shall not apply if Executive has not provided notice
before engaging in activities that the Company reasonably believes violate this Section 11. Any
such meeting shall occur within three business days of notice and may be held in person or by
telephonic, video conferencing or similar electronic means.

- 19 -

 

     12. Violations of Covenants.

          (a) Injunctive Relief. Executive agrees and acknowledges (i) that the services to be
rendered by him hereunder are of a special and original character that gives them unique value,
(ii) that the provisions of Sections 10 and 11 above are, in view of the nature of the business of
the Company, reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its
subsidiaries, (iii) that his violation of any of the covenants or agreements contained in such
Sections would cause irreparable injury to the Company and its subsidiaries, (iv) that the remedy
at law for any violation or threatened violation thereof would be inadequate, and (v) that, in the
event of any violation or threatened violation thereof, the Company shall be entitled to temporary
and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief as it may deem appropriate without the
accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any such violation, which
rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the
Company. Executive hereby further agrees that, in the event of any such violation or threatened
violation, the Company shall be entitled to commence an action, suit or proceeding in any court of
appropriate jurisdiction (which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 17 below, need
not be any Circuit Court of the State of Florida or the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Florida or any other court located in Miami-Dade County, Florida) for any such
preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and other equitable relief and shall not be required,
as a condition to seeking or obtaining any such relief, to provide any bond or other surety, which
Executive hereby expressly waives.

          (b) Enforcement. The Company and Executive recognize that the laws and public
policies of the various states of the United States and the District of Columbia may differ as to
the validity and enforceability of certain of the provisions contained herein. Accordingly, if any
provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, as may be determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement shall be deemed to delete or modify, as
necessary, the offending provision and to alter the balance of this Agreement in order to render
the same valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permissible as aforesaid.

          (c) Survival. The provisions of this Section 12 and of Sections 10 and 11 above shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

     13. Insurance.

          (a) Key Man Life Insurance. Executive agrees to facilitate the Company to purchase
and maintain “Key Man Insurance” in an amount desired by the Company for the benefit of the Company
and to reasonably cooperate with the Company and its designated insurance agent to facilitate the
purchase and maintenance of such insurance.

          (b) Insurance Policies for Executive. The Company shall promptly (and, in any event,
within thirty (30) days following receipt from Executive of written evidence of Executive’s having
made expenditures therefor) reimburse Executive (up to an aggregate maximum of $25,000 in any year)
for premiums paid by Executive for life, disability and/or similar insurance policies.

     14. Successors; Binding Agreement.

          (a) Company’s Successors. No rights or obligations of the Company under this
Agreement may be assigned or transferred except that the Company will require a Successor Employer
to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent
that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

          (b) Executive’s Successors. No rights or obligations of Executive under this
Agreement may be assigned or transferred other than his rights to payments or benefits hereunder,
which may be transferred only by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Upon Executive’s
death, this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against, Executive’s beneficiary or
beneficiaries, personal or legal representatives, or estate, to the extent any such person succeeds
to Executive’s interests under this Agreement. Executive shall be entitled to select and change a
beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any benefit or compensation payable hereunder following
Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of Executive’s death
or a judicial determination of his incompetence, references in this Agreement to Executive shall be
deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his beneficiary(ies), estate or other legal
representative(s). If Executive should die following the Date of Termination while any amounts
would still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such amounts unless
otherwise provided herein shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to such
person or persons so appointed in writing by Executive or otherwise to his legal representatives or
estate.

     15. Notice. All notices or other communications that are required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and sufficient if delivered personally, or sent by
nationally-recognized, overnight courier or by registered or certified mail, return receipt

enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in any action, suit or
proceeding shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including on appeal).

     17. Miscellaneous and Waiver of Jury Trial. No provisions of this Agreement may be
amended, modified or waived unless such amendment or modification is agreed to in writing signed by
Executive and by a duly authorized officer of the Company or such waiver is set forth in writing
and signed by the party to be charged therewith. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of
any breach by the other party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be
performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or
conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral
or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by
either party that are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. Except as herein otherwise
provided, the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement shall
survive the expiration or termination of Executive’s employment (whether by resignation or
otherwise) and the expiration or termination of this Agreement to the extent necessary for the
intended preservation of such rights and obligations. The validity, interpretation, construction
and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida without
regard to its conflicts of law principles. Each party unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that
the exclusive forum and venue for any action, suit or proceeding shall be in Miami-Dade County,
Florida, and consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction, including, without limitation,
personal jurisdiction, and forum and venue of the Circuit Courts of the State of Florida or the
United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, in each case, located in
Miami-Dade County, Florida. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES ITS OR HIS RIGHT TO A JURY
TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO

- 22 -

 

ANY SUIT, LITIGATION OR OTHER JUDICIAL PROCEEDING REGARDING THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO.

     18. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of
this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that any provision or
provisions contained in this Agreement shall be deemed illegal or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and this Agreement
shall be interpreted as if such illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions were not contained
in this Agreement, subject, however, to Section 12(b) above, which to the extent applicable shall
supersede and govern.

     19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the
same instrument.

     20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties
hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements,
promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or
written, by any officer, director, employee or representative of either party hereto in respect of
such subject matter. For purposes of clarification and avoidance of any doubt, (a) notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary unless otherwise specifically provided herein, the terms
and conditions of Executive’s employment by the Company and termination (including payments upon
termination) through January 31, 2011 and prior to the Effective Date are and shall continue to be
governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Current Employment Agreement, but thereafter
the terms and conditions of Executive’s employment by the Company and termination (including
payments upon termination) shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which
terms and conditions shall, from and after the Effective Date, supersede and control and (b)
notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Current Employment Agreement is
terminated prior to the Effective Date in accordance with the terms thereof, (i) Executive’s
entitlement to any payment on account of or with respect to such termination shall be governed
solely by the terms of the Current Employment Agreement, (ii) from and after the Effective Date,
the Current Agreement (to the extent it otherwise shall not have been terminated prior thereto)
shall be deemed to have been amended and restated as provided herein and the Company’s obligations
and liabilities to Executive from and after the Effective Date shall be limited to those expressly
provided herein and (iii) the Company shall have no continuing obligations or liabilities to
Executive under or pursuant to the Current Agreement. From and after the Effective Date, in the
event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
terms and conditions of the Current Agreement, of any stock option or restricted stock agreement or
plan relating thereto or of any other separate agreement, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall supersede, govern and prevail.

     21. Withholding. All payments hereunder shall be subject to any required withholding
of Federal, state and local taxes pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

- 23 -

 

     22. Insurance; Indemnity. Executive shall be covered by the Company’s directors’
and officers’ liability insurance policy, and errors and omissions coverage, to the extent such
coverage is generally provided by the Company to its directors and officers and to the fullest
extent permitted by such insurance policies. Nothing herein is or shall be deemed to be a
representation by the Company that it provides, or a promise by the Company to obtain, maintain or
continue, any liability insurance coverage whatsoever for its executives. In addition, the Company
shall enter into its standard indemnity agreement by which Company commits to indemnify a Company
officer in connection with claims, suits or proceedings arising as a result of Executive’ service
to the Company.

     23. Section Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only, and they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its interpretation.
