CLOSING ADJUSTMENTS

          3.1 Working Capital Adjustment.

     (a) Prior to the Closing Date, LIH shall, or shall cause the Company to, in good faith
prepare an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as of
the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet”), which for purposes of
this Agreement shall be deemed to be the balance sheet of the Company as of 11:59PM on the
day immediately preceding the Closing Date. The Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet shall
be prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied by the Company and following the
policies, procedures, principles and methods employed in preparing the audited balance sheet
of the Company as of December 31, 2009 included in the Company Financial Statements and
shall set forth a calculation of the Working Capital reflected thereon calculated in the
manner set forth on Schedule 3.1. Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to
the Closing Date, LIH shall deliver to Equity One the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet,
including the calculation of Working Capital, together with worksheets and data that support
the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet and any other information that Equity One may
reasonably request in order to verify the amounts reflected on the Estimated Closing Date
Balance Sheet, including the calculation of Working Capital. Not later than three (3)
Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Equity One shall provide LIH with any good faith
objections to the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet and the calculation of Working
Capital in writing, together with such documentation as may reasonably support Equity One’s
good faith objections. After considering Equity One’s objections, LIH may make such
revisions to the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet as it believes are reasonably
acceptable and deliver a revised Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet, including the

11

 

calculation of Working Capital, which shall be the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet
for all purposes of clause (b) below.

     (b) Pre-Closing Adjustments.

     (i) To the extent that the Working Capital set forth on the final Estimated
Closing Date Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Working Capital Amount”) exceeds
the Working Capital Threshold (such excess, if any, the “Estimated Working
Capital Surplus”), then, at LIH’s election, either:

     (A) LIH shall cause the Company to distribute some or all of the amount
of such Estimated Working Capital Surplus as a dividend to LIH immediately
prior to Closing; and/or

     (B) the number of the LIH LLC Shares to be issued to LIH pursuant to
Sections 2.3 and 2.5(c)(ii) above shall be increased by that
number (rounded to the nearest whole number) which is the quotient of the
Estimated Working Capital Surplus (less the amount of any distribution made
pursuant to clause (A) above) divided by the Exchange Price
(provided, that to the extent such Estimated Working Capital Surplus
exceeds $2,500,000, such excess amount shall be divided by the EQY VWAP
Price instead of the Exchange Price), and the Share Allocation Schedule
shall be amended accordingly.

     (ii) To the extent that the Estimated Working Capital Amount is less than the
Working Capital Threshold (such deficiency, if any, the “Estimated Working
Capital Deficit”), then, at LIH’s election, either:

     (A) LIH shall contribute cash to the Company in an amount equal to the
Estimated Working Capital Deficit immediately prior to Closing; or

     (B) the number of the LIH LLC Shares to be issued to LIH pursuant to
Sections 2.3 and 2.5(c)(ii) above shall be reduced by that
number (rounded to the nearest whole number) which is the quotient of the
Estimated Working Capital Deficit divided by the Exchange Price, and the
Share Allocation Schedule shall be amended accordingly.

     (c) Post-Closing Balance Sheet. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date
(but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date), Equity One shall
deliver to LIH a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing
Balance Sheet”), including a calculation of Working Capital derived from the
Post-Closing Balance Sheet, together with worksheets which detail any adjustments and the
basis thereof and other information used in the preparation of the Post-Closing Balance
Sheet and the calculation of Working Capital reasonably requested by LIH. Equity One shall
use reasonable best efforts to make all of its work papers underlying the preparation of the
Post-Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Working Capital reasonably available to
LIH and its representatives and to consult in good faith with LIH and its

12

 

representatives during the review period set forth below. The Post-Closing Balance
Sheet shall include a calculation of the Working Capital at the Closing and shall be binding
upon the parties upon approval of such Post-Closing Balance Sheet by LIH. If LIH does not
agree with any portion or line item contained within the Post-Closing Balance Sheet and/or
the calculation of Working Capital at the Closing stated thereon, and the parties cannot
mutually agree on the same, then within forty-five (45) days following receipt by LIH of the
Post-Closing Balance Sheet, the parties shall appoint an independent auditor to resolve such
dispute as promptly as reasonably practicable. The independent auditor shall be a
nationally recognized certified public accounting firm that is not rendering (and during the
preceding two (2) year period has not rendered) audit or other material services to any of
the Company, LIH or its parent or Equity One. If the parties are unable to agree on such
independent auditor, then the respective accounting firms of each of LIH and Equity One
shall choose the independent auditor. The independent auditor shall act as an arbitrator to
determine, based solely on the presentations by LIH and Equity One, and not by independent
review, only those issues still in dispute. The fees and expenses associated with such
review by the independent auditor shall be borne equally by Equity One and LIH. The
independent auditor’s determination shall be made within thirty (30) days of its engagement
or as soon thereafter as possible and shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to
LIH and Equity One and shall be enforceable in a court of Law.

     (d) Post Closing Adjustment.

     (i) To the extent that the Working Capital set forth on the Post-Closing
Balance Sheet (the “Final Working Capital Amount”) exceeds the Estimated
Working Capital Amount (such excess, if any, the “Working Capital Increase
Amount”), Equity One shall cause EQY-CSC to issue additional LIH LLC Shares to
LIH in an amount (rounded to the nearest whole number) equal to the quotient of the
Working Capital Increase Amount divided by the Exchange Price (provided,
that to the extent such Working Capital Increase Amount, when added to the amount of
any Estimated Working Capital Surplus divided by the Exchange Price pursuant to
Section 3.1(b)(i)(B), exceeds $2,500,000 in the aggregate, such excess
amount shall be divided by the EQY VWAP Price instead of the Exchange Price), and
the Share Allocation Schedule shall be amended accordingly.

     (ii) To the extent that the Final Working Capital Amount is less than the
Estimated Working Capital Amount (such deficiency, if any, the “Working Capital
Decrease Amount”), then Equity One shall cause EQY-CSC to reduce and cancel that
number of LIH LLC Shares previously issued to LIH pursuant to Sections 2.3
and 2.5(c)(ii) hereunder in an amount equal to that number (rounded to the
nearest whole number) which is the quotient of the Working Capital Decrease Amount
divided by the Exchange Price (provided, that to the extent the number of
LIH LLC Shares have been previously increased pursuant to Section
3.1(b)(i)(B), then the value at which LIH LLC Shares to be reduced and canceled
under this clause (ii) shall be commensurate, pro rata, with the value at which

13

 

such LIH LLC Shares were previously increased pursuant to Section
3.1(b)(i)(B)), and the Share Allocation Schedule shall be amended accordingly.

     (e) As used herein, “Working Capital” has the meaning set forth on, and shall
be calculated in accordance with, Schedule 3.1.

     (f) Any increases or decreases to the number of LIH LLC Shares pursuant to this
Section 3.1 shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the consideration
issued by EQY-CSC for the contribution of the Company Common Stock by LIH hereunder.

     (g) As used herein, “Exchange Price” means $16.50, subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:

     (i) Upon Dividends, Distributions, Subdivisions, Splits or
Consolidations. If, at any time after the date of this Agreement, the number of
outstanding shares of EQY Common Stock is (A) increased by a dividend or share
distribution payable in shares of EQY Common Stock (or in securities convertible
into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, EQY Common Stock) or by a subdivision or
forward split of the outstanding shares of EQY Common Stock or (B) decreased by a
consolidation or reverse split of the outstanding shares of EQY Common Stock, then
the Exchange Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exchange Price immediately
prior to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the number of shares of EQY Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event, and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of EQY Common Stock outstanding
immediately thereafter; provided that if a dividend or share distribution is
payable in securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, EQY
Common Stock, then for purposes of determining the denominator above,
the number of shares of EQY Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter shall be deemed to
include the maximum number of shares of EQY Common Stock (assuming the satisfaction
of any conditions to convertibility, exercisability or exchangeability but without
regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such
number) issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of such securities.

     (ii) Other Adjustments. In the event of any reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification or other like change in the outstanding shares of
EQY Common Stock at any time after the date of this Agreement for which an
adjustment is not otherwise provided under the foregoing clause (i), the
Exchange Price shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the effects of such
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change.

          3.2 Survival. The provisions of this Article 3 shall survive the
Closing indefinitely.

     (n) Title to Intellectual Property. None of the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries is required to own or possess any trademarks, service marks, trade names or

from transactions in the ordinary course of business.

     (o) The Properties.

     (i) The Company, directly or indirectly through one or more of its
subsidiaries, has good and marketable fee simple title to each of the Properties
(other than a portion of the Property known as the Willows Shopping Center for which
the Company’s subsidiary is a tenant pursuant to that certain Property Lease
Agreement between Central Contra Costa Sanitary District and Willows Center Concord,
LLC dated May 9, 2005) and the Improvements thereon, in each case free and clear of
all Liens, other than (A) any Permitted Exceptions, (B) any Liens that relate to the
Existing Debt or (C) any of the foregoing that would not have a Company Material
Adverse Effect.

     (ii) Except as listed on Section 4.1(o)(ii) of the LIH Disclosure Schedule, (a)
with respect to each of the Properties, the Company or one of its subsidiaries has
an owner’s policy of title insurance (the “Current Title Policies”) on the
fee interest therein and (b) on or prior to the date hereof, LIH has provided or
made available to Equity One copies of each such title policy and all matters listed
as exceptions thereto.

     (iii) On or prior to the date hereof, LIH has provided or made available to
Equity One all existing surveys, if any, of each Property as listed on Section

thereto) of space and/or tenancies at the Properties that provide for a base
annualized rent in excess of $100,000 (as listed on Section 4.1(o)(iv) of the LIH
Disclosure Schedule, collectively, the “Leases”). Leases for space and/or

19

 

tenancies at the Properties for 5,000 square feet or more and with remaining
lease terms of at least one year shall be referred to herein as “Material
Leases.” With respect to the Material Leases, LIH has made available to Equity
One true and correct copies of all material tenant correspondence and other
documents. The Material Leases (i) have not been materially modified except as
stated in Section 4.1(o)(iv) of the LIH Disclosure Schedule, and (ii) contain the
entire agreement (other than terms that are not material) between the relevant
subsidiary of the Company and the tenants named therein. To the knowledge of LIH,
no default exists under any such Material Lease except as would not have a Company
Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Section 4.1(o)(iv) of the LIH
Disclosure Schedule, as of the date hereof, neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries has given written notice to any tenant of its default under any
Material Lease that has not been cured and has not received any written notice from

obligations under any Material Leases or any other material agreement encumbering or
otherwise recorded against any of the Properties, except in each case for any
default that, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Company Material
Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of LIH, no event has
occurred which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute a default under any Material Leases or any other material agreement
encumbering or otherwise recorded against the Properties, except in all cases for
any such defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company
Material Adverse Effect.

     (vi) There are no material rental, lease, or other commissions now due and
payable or which may become due or payable with respect to the current term of any
of the Material Leases and there are no material tenant improvement costs and
allowances or other concessions now due or payable in connection with any of the
Material Leases except, in each case, for leasing commissions, brokerage fees and
tenant improvement costs and allowances or other concessions (i) described in
Section 4.1(o)(vi) of the LIH Disclosure Schedule or (ii) as otherwise expressly set
forth in the Material Leases pursuant to which by their terms are not yet due and
payable.

     (vii) Except as set forth on Section 4.1(o)(vii) of the LIH Disclosure Schedule
or as otherwise expressly set forth in the Material Leases, no tenant under any
Material Lease has a right of first offer, first refusal or option to purchase all
or any portion of the premises demised under such Material Lease.

     (viii) Other than as set forth on Section 4.1(o)(viii) of the LIH Disclosure
Schedule, to the knowledge of LIH, as of the date hereof, no tenant under any
Material Lease is the subject of bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceedings;

20

 

     (ix) There are no condemnation proceedings or zoning changes pending or, to the
knowledge of LIH, threatened against any Property that would, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

     (x) Except as set forth in the Title Policies or the Surveys, there are no
encroachments upon any Property by improvements on an adjacent property, and none of
the Improvements on any Property encroach on any adjacent property, streets or
alleys, except in each case for such encroachments that would not, individually or
in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

     (xi) LIH has supplied or made available to Equity One true and complete copies
of all material third-party property management and leasing agreements relating to a
Property (except the Material Leases, which are the subject of clauses (iv) through
(vii) above); as of the date hereof, no party is in default under any such property
management agreement, nor, to the knowledge of LIH, has an event occurred which with
the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would become a default under
any such property management and leasing agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein and in the other Transaction Documents will not
give rise to any default under any such property management and leasing agreement,
except in each case for defaults that, individually or in the aggregate, would not
have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

     (p) No Acquisitions or Dispositions. Except as set forth on Section 4.1(p) of

convertible into equity securities of the entity owning any Property or any other entity and
none of such debt is cross-defaulted or cross-collateralized with any other property;
(ii) prior to the date hereof, LIH has provided or made available to Equity One true and
complete copies of all Loan Documents and, as of the date hereof, no party to any of the
Loan Documents is in material default thereunder, nor has an event occurred which with the
passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would become a material default under any
of the Loan Documents; (iii) subject to any requirements under the Loan Documents to obtain
the Mortgage Consents, consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the other
Transaction Documents will not cause a material default under any of the Loan Documents or
the Company or other applicable party has

21

 

received a waiver of any such defaults or consent with respect thereto; and (iv) none
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates holds participating interests in any
of the indebtedness evidenced or secured by the Loan Documents.

     (r) Contracts. Section 4.1(r) of the LIH Disclosure Schedule sets forth a
true, complete and correct list of all Material Contracts. True, correct and complete
copies of all such Material Contracts have been made available to Equity One. To the
knowledge of LIH, each such Material Contract is in full force and effect and, as of the
date hereof, none of the Company or its subsidiaries has provided or received any written
notice of any default under any Material Contract which has not been cured, except where the
failure to be in full force and effect or for any such default as would not, individually or
in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

“subsidiary” shall include each entity in which the Company owns a direct or indirect
interest.

     (i) Except as set forth on Section 4.1(s)(i) of the LIH Disclosure
Schedule, the Company and each of its current or former subsidiaries (A) has paid

of any audits of such Tax Returns;

     (iv) Except as set forth on Section 4.1(s)(iv) of the LIH Disclosure

Returns;

     (v) Except as set forth on Section 4.1(s)(v) of the LIH Disclosure Schedule, to
the knowledge of LIH, all material Taxes that the Company was required to withhold

22

 

thereunder, with respect to the distribution of the CapCo Note (as defined in

     (vi) Except as set forth on Section 4.1(s)(vi) of the LIH Disclosure Schedule,

liability arising from the existence of the affiliated group of companies of which
the Company was the common parent prior to December 31, 2006;

     (ix) Commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2007, the Company has
been owned, organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for
qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”)

requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for the
Company’s taxable years ending December 31, 2010 and thereafter. Each of the
Company’s subsidiaries that is a corporation for federal income tax purposes, other

and will be, in compliance with all requirements applicable to a “taxable REIT
subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code and all applicable
regulations under the Code, and the Company is not aware of any fact that would
negatively impact such qualification. Each other direct and indirect subsidiary of
the Company has been properly treated since January 1, 2007, and will continue to be
properly treated, as a partnership or disregarded entity (rather than an association
or partnership taxable as a corporation) within the meaning of Section 7701 of the
Code and all applicable regulations under the Code and no election has been made to
the contrary;

Section 897(c) of the Code;

     (xvi) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any tax
sharing agreement or tax protection agreement pursuant to which it will have any
obligation to make any payments after the Closing. A “tax sharing agreement” means
any written agreement for the allocation or payment of Tax liabilities or payment
for Tax benefits with respect to a consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return
which Tax Return includes or included the Company or any of its subsidiaries. A
“tax protection agreement” means any written agreement to which the Company or any
of its subsidiaries is a party pursuant to which, in connection with the deferral of
income Taxes of a third party partner in any subsidiary of the Company that is
classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Company or any of
its subsidiaries has agreed to (a) maintain a minimum level of debt or provide
rights to guarantee debt, (b) retain or not dispose of assets for a period of time,

permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively,
“Licenses”) issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory
agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by them, except where the
failure so to possess would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material
Adverse Effect; the Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and
conditions of all such Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect; all of the
Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except when the invalidity of such Licenses
or the failure of such Licenses to be in full force and effect would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect; and neither the Company nor any of
its subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any such Licenses which, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling
or finding, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

     (u) No Labor Disputes. No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or
any subsidiary exists or, to the knowledge of LIH, is imminent, and the Company is not aware
of any existing or imminent labor disturbance by the employees of any of its or any

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and (iii) neither the execution of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby,

25

 

will, alone or in conjunction with another event (e.g., termination of
employment), result in payments under any plan or agreement to which the Company or any of
its subsidiaries is bound which would not be deductible under Section 162(m) or Section 280G
of the Code.

     (w) Compliance with and Liability under Environmental Laws.

     (y) Compliance with ERISA. (i) Each employee benefit plan, within the meaning
of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended

“Excepted Holder” under the charter of Equity One as currently in effect and as in effect at

     (i) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by Equity One or any
Equity One Subsidiary of the Transaction Documents to which it is, or will be, a party and
the contribution of the EQY Promissory Note by Equity One hereunder does not and will not

the SEC, (ii) listing applications with the New York Stock Exchange and (iii) for
shareholder approval of the Amended EQY Charter, no authorizations, consents, approvals,

which the EQY Common Stock is listed or traded is necessary or required for the execution,
delivery and performance by Equity One of the Transaction Documents to which it is or will
be a party, except for any such authorization, consent, approval, election or waiver from
any Authority or other third party the failure of which to obtain or make would not have an
Equity One Material Adverse Effect.

     (k) Independent Accountants. The accountants who certified the financial
statements and supporting schedules included in the Equity One SEC Reports are independent
public accountants as required by the Securities Act.

     (l) Financial Statements. The financial statements included in the Equity One
SEC Reports, together with the related schedules and notes, present fairly in all material
respects the financial position of Equity One and its consolidated subsidiaries at the dates
indicated and the statement of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Equity One
and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods presented. Such financial statements

32

 

have been prepared from the books and records of Equity One and its subsidiaries and
have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis by Equity One for
the periods presented except as noted therein. The supporting schedules, if any, present
fairly in all material respects in accordance with GAAP the information required to be
stated therein. The selected financial data and the summary financial information included
in the Equity One SEC Reports present fairly in all material respects the information shown
therein and have been compiled on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial
statements included in the Equity One SEC Reports. All disclosures contained in the Equity
One SEC Reports regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the
rules and regulations of the SEC) comply with Regulation G under the Exchange Act and Item
10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, to the extent applicable. As of the date hereof,
Equity One does not have any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether known or
unknown and whether absolute, accrued, contingent, or otherwise) that would be required to
be reflected or referred against in a consolidated balance sheet of Equity One, prepared in
accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis by Equity One, except for (i) liabilities
or obligations reflected or reserved against in the most recent balance sheet included, or
otherwise disclosed, in an Equity One SEC Report, (ii) those which would not have an Equity
One Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) liabilities incurred as a result of the execution of,
or as expressly permitted by, this Agreement.

     (m) No Material Adverse Effect. Except as otherwise stated in the Equity One
SEC Reports, since December 31, 2009, there has been no material adverse effect on, or
change in, the business, properties, financial condition or results of operations of Equity
One and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on the ability of Equity One or any of its
respective subsidiaries to perform their obligations under the Transaction Documents to
which they are a party (an “Equity One Material Adverse Effect”), whether or not
arising in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, an Equity One
Material Adverse Effect shall not include any change or event resulting from, relating to or
arising out of (a) general economic conditions in any of the markets or geographical areas
in which Equity One and its subsidiaries operate (except to the extent that such change or
event has a disproportionate effect on Equity One and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
relative to other participants in the markets or geographical areas in which Equity One and
its subsidiaries operate); (b) any change in economic conditions or the financial, banking,
currency or capital markets in general; (c) any calamity or other conditions generally
affecting the industry in which Equity One operates (except to the extent that such change
or event has a disproportionate effect on Equity One and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
relative to other participants in the industry in which Equity One and its subsidiaries
operate); (d) changes in Law or in GAAP or interpretations thereof; (e) any actions taken,
or failures to take action, or such other changes or events, in each case, to which the
Company has consented; or (f) the announcement of, or the taking of any action contemplated
by, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Except as otherwise stated in the
Equity One SEC Reports and except for regular quarterly dividends on the EQY Common Stock,
since December 31, 2009 to the date hereof, there has been no dividend or distribution of
any kind declared, paid or made by Equity One on any class of its capital stock.

33

 

     (n) Absence of Labor Dispute. As of the date hereof, no material labor dispute
with the employees of Equity One or any subsidiary exists or, to the knowledge of Equity
One, is imminent. 

     (o) Absence of Proceedings. As of the date hereof, other than as
disclosed in the Equity One SEC Reports, there are no investigations, actions, suits or
proceedings pending by or before any Authority to which Equity One is a party or to which
any property of Equity One or any of its subsidiaries is subject that, individually or in
the aggregate, if determined adversely to Equity One, would have an Equity One Material
Adverse Effect; as of the date hereof, to the knowledge of Equity One, no such
investigations, actions, suits or proceedings are threatened by any Authority or threatened
by others.

     (p) Accuracy of Exhibits. There are no Contracts or documents which are
required to be described in the Equity One SEC Reports which have not been so described and
filed as required.

     (q) Possession of Intellectual Property. Neither Equity One nor any of its
subsidiaries is required to own or possess any trademarks, service marks, trade names or
copyrights in order to conduct the business now operated by it, other than those the failure
to possess or own would not have an Equity One Material Adverse Effect, whether or not
arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business.

     (r) Licenses and Permits. Equity One and each of the Equity One Subsidiaries
possess all Licenses issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory
agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by them, except where the
failure so to possess would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in an Equity One
Material Adverse Effect; Equity One and its subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms
and conditions of all such Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in an Equity One Material Adverse Effect; all of
the Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except when the invalidity of such
Licenses or the failure of such Licenses to be in full force and effect would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in an Equity One Material Adverse Effect; and
neither Equity One nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any such Licenses which, individually or in
the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in
an Equity One Material Adverse Effect.

     (s) Properties. Except as disclosed in the Equity One SEC Reports, Equity One
and the Equity One Property Subsidiaries have good and marketable fee simple title to or
leasehold title in all real property and all other properties and assets owned or leased by
them, in each case, free and clear of all Liens that would have an Equity One Material
Adverse Effect; except as disclosed in the Equity One SEC Reports, no tenant under any lease
to which Equity One or the Equity One Property Subsidiaries lease any portion of its
property is in default under such lease, except in any case where such default would not
have an Equity One Material Adverse Effect; each of the properties of any of Equity One or
the Equity One Property Subsidiaries complies with all applicable codes and

34

 

zoning Laws and regulations except in any case where such non-compliance would not have
an Equity One Material Adverse Effect; and neither Equity One nor any of the Equity One
Property Subsidiaries has knowledge of any pending or threatened condemnation, zoning change
or other proceeding or action that will in any manner affect the size of, use of,
improvements on, construction on, or access to the properties of any of Equity One or the
Equity One Property Subsidiaries except in any case where such action or proceeding would
not have an Equity One Material Adverse Effect.

     (t) Environmental Laws. Except as described in the Equity One SEC Reports, or
as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have an Equity One Material Adverse Effect,
Equity One and the Equity One Property Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with applicable
Environmental Laws, (ii) have obtained and are in compliance with all permits, licenses,
certificates or other authorizations or approvals required of them under applicable
Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses, (iii) have not received written
notice of any actual or alleged liability under, or actual or alleged violation of,
Environmental Laws, including for the investigation or remediation of Releases or threatened
Releases of Hazardous Materials, (iv) are not conducting or paying for, in whole or in part,
any investigation, remediation or other corrective action at any location under any
Environmental Law, (v) are not a party to any Order or governmental agreement that imposes
any obligation or liability under any Environmental Law, and (vi) have not been named as a
“potentially responsible party” under any Environmental Laws, including, but not limited to,
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended.

     (u) Periodic Review of Costs of Environmental Compliance. In the ordinary
course of its business, Equity One periodically reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on
the business, operations and properties of Equity One and the Equity One Property
Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required
for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws, or any permit,
license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential
liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, Equity One has reasonably
concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not, singly or in the aggregate,
have an Equity One Material Adverse Effect, whether or not arising from transactions in the
ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Equity One SEC
Reports.

     (v) Accounting Controls and Disclosure Controls.

     (i) Equity One and each of its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal
accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (1)
transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorization; (2) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for
assets; (3) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorization; and (4) the recorded accountability for assets is

35

 

compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate
action is taken with respect to any differences.

     (ii) Equity One and its consolidated subsidiaries have established and maintain
“internal controls over financial reporting” and “disclosure controls and
procedures,” in each case as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. To the
knowledge of Equity One, Equity One’s internal control over financial reporting and
disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level to
perform the functions for which they were designed and established. Except as
described in the Equity One SEC Reports, since the end of Equity One’s most recent
audited fiscal year, there has been (I) no material weakness in Equity One’s
internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and (II) no
change in Equity One’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Equity One’s internal
control over financial reporting.

     (w) Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. There is and has been no failure
on the part of Equity One or, to the knowledge of Equity One, any of Equity One’s directors
or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply in all material respects with any
provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in
connection therewith, including Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906
related to certifications.

     (x) Tax Matters.

     (i) All material Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of Equity
One or any of its subsidiaries have been filed with the appropriate taxing
authorities in all jurisdictions in which such Tax Returns are required to be
filed (after giving effect to any valid extensions of time in which to make such
filings), and all such Tax Returns, as amended, were true, accurate and complete
in all material respects. All material Taxes payable by or on behalf of Equity
One or any of its subsidiaries have been paid (other than those being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have
been provided on the books of the applicable entity), and, with respect to any
period for which Tax Returns have not yet been filed or for which Taxes are not
yet due or owing, have made adequate accruals for the projected material amount
of such Taxes in their books and records and in the most recent financial
statements contained in the Equity One SEC Reports filed with the SEC prior to
the date of this Agreement. To the knowledge of Equity One, there is no Tax
deficiency that has been asserted against Equity One or any of its current or
former subsidiaries, properties or assets;

     (ii) Commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2002, Equity One
has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for
qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and its currently proposed
ownership and method of operation will enable it to meet

36

 

the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for
Equity One’s taxable years ending December 31, 2010 and thereafter;

     (iii) Equity One has incurred no unpaid liability for excise Taxes under
Sections 857(b), 860(c) or 4981 of the Code, including without limitation any
excise Tax arising from a prohibited transaction described in Section 857(b)(6)
of the Code or any Tax arising from “redetermined rents, redetermined deductions
and excess interest” described in Section 857(b)(7) of the Code, and neither
Equity One nor any of its subsidiaries has incurred any material liability for
Taxes other than in the usual, regular and ordinary course of business;

     (iv) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Equity One, threatened
claims by any Authority in any jurisdiction where Equity One or its subsidiaries
do not file Tax Returns that Equity One or its subsidiaries is or may be subject
to taxation by that jurisdiction; and

     (v) Not more than 29% of the stock of Equity One is owned directly or
indirectly by foreign persons. For purposes of the foregoing, the phrase “owned
directly or indirectly by foreign persons” shall have the meaning used for purposes
of applying Section 897(h)(4) of the Code, except that (i) in the case of a REIT, if
any class of stock of such REIT is regularly traded on an established securities
market within the United States, persons that are not named as a reporting person or
otherwise in a Schedule 13D or 13G made under the Exchange Act with the SEC with
respect to such REIT shall be treated as U.S. persons unless the issuer of such
stock has actual knowledge or should have had knowledge to the contrary,
provided that, for purposes of determining whether the issuer should have
had knowledge to the contrary, the issuer shall be under no independent duty,
implied or otherwise, to make any inquiry with respect to its direct or indirect
stockholders, and (ii) any shares held directly or indirectly by an entity
classified as a domestic corporation (other than a REIT) for U.S. federal income tax
purposes shall be treated as held by a U.S. person.

     (y) Insurance and Title Insurance. As of the date hereof, each of Equity One,
the Significant Subsidiaries and the Equity One Property Subsidiaries and each of their
respective properties are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against
such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in
which they are engaged. All policies of insurance and fidelity or surety bonds insuring
Equity One, the Significant Subsidiaries and the Equity One Property Subsidiaries or their
respective properties, businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full
force and effect, except for the failure to insure or lapses in policies which would not
have an Equity One Material Adverse Effect. Title insurance in favor of Equity One and the
Equity One Property Subsidiaries is maintained with respect to each shopping center property
owned by any such entity in an amount at least equal to (a) the cost of acquisition of such
property or (b) the cost of construction of such property (measured at the time of such
construction), except, in each case, where the failure to maintain such title insurance
would not have an Equity One Material Adverse Effect.

37

 

     (z) Mortgages, Deeds of Trust. The mortgages and deeds of trust encumbering the
properties and assets described in the Equity One SEC Reports (i) are not convertible (in
the absence of foreclosure) into an equity interest in the property or asset described
therein or in Equity One or any of its subsidiaries, nor does Equity One or any of its
subsidiaries hold a participating interest therein, (ii) except as set forth in the Equity
One SEC Reports, are not cross-defaulted to any indebtedness other than indebtedness of
Equity One or any of its subsidiaries and (iii) are not cross-collateralized to any property
not owned by Equity One or any of its subsidiaries.

     (aa) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Neither Equity One nor, to the knowledge of
Equity One, any director, officer, agent, employee, affiliate or other person acting on
behalf of Equity One or any of its subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action,
directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the FCPA,
including without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of
interstate commerce corruptly in the furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or
authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or
authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is
defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for
foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA and Equity One and to the knowledge
of Equity One, its affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance in all material
respects with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to
ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, such continued compliance
therewith.

     (bb) Money Laundering Laws. The operations of Equity One are and have been
conducted at all times in material compliance with the Money Laundering Laws and no action,
suit or proceeding by or before any Authority involving Equity One with respect to the Money
Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of Equity One, threatened as of the date
hereof.

     (cc) OFAC. Neither Equity One nor, to the knowledge of Equity One, any
director, officer, agent, employee, affiliate or person acting on behalf of Equity One is
currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control
of the U.S. Treasury Department.

     (dd) Accredited Investor. Equity One is an “accredited investor” as that term
is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act as in effect as of the date
hereof. Equity One acknowledges and agrees that the EQY LLC Shares received hereunder will
be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Operating Agreement and may
otherwise not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
disposed of by it without registration under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an
exemption from such registration under the Securities Act, and in compliance with applicable
“blue sky” laws.

     (ee) EQY-CSC. EQY-CSC will be formed prior to the Closing. As of the Closing,
EQY-CSC will be duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under its
jurisdiction of formation. EQY-CSC will not be a “resulting partnership” as

38

 

defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.708-1(c)(1). At all times from its formation, EQY-CSC will
be classified for Tax purposes either as a partnership or as an entity that is disregarded
as separate from its owner. EQY-CSC will not make an election to be classified for Tax
purposes other than as a partnership or an entity that is disregarded as separate from its
owner. EQY-CSC will be formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents and, from the date of formation until the Closing,
EQY-CSC will engage in no other business activities and will conduct its operations only as
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. From the date of formation until the Closing,
all shares of EQY-CSC will be owned directly by Equity One or its affiliate. From the date
of formation until the Closing, EQY-CSC will have no assets or liabilities.

and operation of such Property in the usual, regular and ordinary course in substantially the same
manner as previously conducted and use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve relevant
business relationships with tenants and others having business dealings with them. The Company
shall provide Equity One with copies of any material written notices from any parties which it
receives with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, any
material notice received with respect to the Existing Debt, the Leases, or the Licenses. In
addition (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing), except as otherwise expressly
permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or as set
forth on Schedule 5.1, LIH shall cause the Company not to do (nor permit any of its

indebtedness for borrowed money in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $1,000,000;

     (d) make any acquisition or capital expenditure over $50,000 other than in the ordinary

     (e) declare, set aside, make or pay any distribution other than in cash;

     (f) intentionally permit, allow or suffer any Property to become subjected to any Liens

interfere with the use of the Property subject to such Lien);

     (g) fail to pay any insurance premiums due on existing insurance policies or permit
such policies to lapse;

     (h) materially amend or cancel any Existing Debt or waive any claims or rights of

     (k) sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any of its assets that are material,
individually or in the aggregate, to the Properties;

into any employment contract with an employee who is employed by the Company as of the date
hereof;

     (m) enter into any new Material Lease or terminate, modify, amend or grant a waiver
under any existing Material Lease, other than such new Material Leases, terminations,
modifications, amendments or waivers (1) that are on commercially reasonable terms
consistent with the Company’s past practices, and (2) that do not result in a reduction of
rent under, or termination of any other Material Lease at, the applicable Property;
provided, however that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to any new
leasing transaction with respect to which Equity One has approved prior to the date hereof
(all such items on Schedule 5.1(m) being so approved);

     (n) enter into, terminate or materially amend any Material Contract;

     (o) except as would not be materially adverse to any Property (1) grant, terminate,

its subsidiaries; or

     (r) authorize any of, or commit or agree to take, whether in writing or otherwise, to
do any of, the foregoing actions.

          5.2 Interim Operating Covenants of Equity One.

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement, from the date of this
Agreement to the Closing Date, Equity One shall conduct the ownership and operation of its business
in the usual, regular and ordinary course in substantially the same manner as previously conducted.
In addition (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing), except as otherwise expressly

be unreasonably withheld or delayed:

     (a) amend the organizational documents of Equity One;

          5.3 Reserved.

          5.4 Insurance With respect to each Property, from the date hereof until the
Closing Date, LIH shall cause the Company and each of its subsidiaries to, use commercially
reasonable efforts to continue to maintain the existing insurance policies relating to such
Property

41

 

          5.5 Title

     (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Equity One may order, at its sole expense, a
current extended coverage preliminary title report (a “Preliminary Report”) from
Chicago Title Insurance Company or the title company who issued the Current Title Policies
(the “Title Company”) for each Property and a commitment by the Title Company to
issue an original title insurance policy or a non-imputation endorsement to the Current
Title Policies with respect to such Property, in either case, dated as of the Closing Date,
insuring fee simple title to the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions,
including customary endorsements (such title insurance policy, a “Title Policy”).
LIH agrees to cooperate with Equity One and its representatives as reasonably necessary to
facilitate the issuance of the Preliminary Reports by the Title Company (including by
facilitating access to the Properties during regular business hours). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, LIH shall be obligated to remove or cause the
Title Company to insure over all Liens set forth on Schedule 5.5(a) hereto as of the
Closing Date. If requested by Equity One, LIH shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
deliver to EQY-CSC on or prior to the Closing Date an owner’s title affidavit with respect
to each Property (for the purpose of EQY-CSC obtaining a new title policy and/or
non-imputation endorsements to its title insurance policies) in the form required by the
Title Company.

     (b) On or prior to the Closing Date, Equity One may order, at its sole expense, from a
surveyor or surveying firm, licensed by the State of California, an American Land Title
Association survey of each Property (the “Surveys”) reflecting the total area of
each Property, the location of all Improvements, recorded easements and encroachments, if
any, located thereon and other matters of record with respect thereto and such other matters
as may be requested by Equity One. LIH agrees to cooperate with Equity One and its
representatives as reasonably necessary to facilitate preparation of the Surveys (including
by facilitating access to the Properties during regular business hours).

          5.6 Estoppel Certificates. On or prior to the Closing Date, LIH shall cause
the Company to obtain and deliver to Equity One estoppel certificates in the form attached as
Exhibit L dated no more than ninety (90) days prior to the Closing Date from each of the
tenants listed on Schedule 5.6 hereto (the “Required Estoppels”). In addition, LIH
shall cause the Company to mail estoppel certificates in the form attached as Exhibit L to
all other tenants under Material Leases and to use its commercially reasonable efforts (which
efforts shall exclude the payment of money, other than incidental administrative charges or counsel
fees) to obtain such estoppel certificates dated no more than ninety (90) days prior to the Closing
Date from all other tenants under Material Leases. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Section 5.6 to the contrary, an estoppel certificate shall be deemed obtained hereunder if
the tenant or other applicable third-party certifies (1) the name of the party possessing all of
the right, title and interest to the Material Lease, (2) that to the certifying party’s knowledge,
the Material Lease is in full force and effect, (3) that it has not been amended, modified,
supplemented or extended except as disclosed therein, and (4) that no known default or known event
which, with the passage of time or notice, or both, would constitute a material default under the
Material Lease has occurred and is continuing.

42

 

          5.7 Casualty and Condemnation.

     (a) If, on or prior to the Closing Date, any Property suffers damage or destruction by
fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), LIH shall promptly give Equity One written
notice of such event. LIH shall cause the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts in
the recovery of insurance proceeds under the existing insurance policies, or, at Equity
One’s election, shall assign any and all of their rights to negotiate recovery of such
insurance proceeds to EQY-CSC following the Closing and shall have no further obligation
under this Section 5.7. LIH shall cause the Company not to settle, compromise or
discharge any insurance claim related to such Casualty, and shall not apply any insurance
proceeds received with respect thereto, without the approval of Equity One (such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless such actions are otherwise required to
be taken pursuant to any lease or Loan Document. Promptly following such settlement,
compromise or discharge of such insurance claim, LIH shall cause the Company or its
applicable subsidiary to make commercially reasonable efforts, in good faith, to repair such
damage or destruction to the extent of the insurance proceeds recovered. All insurance
proceeds (including any thereof intended to compensate the Company or its subsidiary for
loss of business or rental income for the period prior to the Closing Date) received in
respect of any such damage or destruction on or prior to the Closing Date and not applied to
the repair, replacement or restoration of the applicable Property, and the rights to recover
any such insurance proceeds to the extent not so collected, shall be contributed to EQY-CSC.
The terms of this Section 5.7(a) are subject in all respects to the rights of
lenders under any applicable Loan Document.

     (b) In the event, prior to the Closing, all or any portion of any Property shall be
condemned or taken by eminent domain by any Authority (a “Taking”), LIH shall
promptly give Equity One written notice of such event. LIH shall cause the Company to use
commercially reasonable efforts to settle and agree to the award for such Taking;
provided, that same shall not be settled and agreed to, nor shall such award be
applied, without the approval of Equity One, unless such actions are otherwise required to
be taken pursuant to any Material Lease or Loan Document. Promptly following receipt of the
award for the Taking, LIH shall cause the Company or its applicable subsidiary to make
commercially reasonable efforts, in good faith, to repair any damage resulting from the
Taking to the extent of the award recovered. All awards from a Taking (including any
thereof intended to compensate the Company or its subsidiary for loss of business or rental
income for the period prior to the Closing Date) received in respect of any such Taking on
or prior to the Closing Date and not applied to the repair or restoration of the applicable
Property, and the rights to recover any such awards to the extent not so collected, shall be
contributed to EQY-CSC. The terms of this Section 5.7(b) are subject to the rights
of lenders under any applicable Loan Document.

     (c) The provisions of this Section 5.7 shall, to the extent permitted under
applicable Law, supersede any statutory provisions applicable to “risk of loss” for
condemnation and/or Casualty.

43

 

     (d) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, any and all amounts received or to be received by the Company or its subsidiaries
as a result of a Casualty or a Taking shall not be included for purposes of any of the
calculations or determinations made or to be made under Article 3 hereof.

          5.8 Resignations. On the Closing Date, LIH shall cause to be delivered to EQY-CSC duly signed
resignations, effective immediately following the Closing, of all directors of the Company and each
of its subsidiaries and shall take such other action as is necessary to accomplish the foregoing;
provided, that LIH shall not be required to deliver resignations hereunder from such
directors that are the employees or designees of third parties pursuant to joint venture, tenant in
common or similar arrangements.

          5.9 Employee Matters. From and after the Closing Date, LIH hereby agrees to pay, and indemnify
and hold harmless Equity One, the Company, EQY-CSC and their respective affiliates from and against
any and all claims for the liabilities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries of the type
described in Section 4.1(v)(i) or 4.1(v)(ii) made by any employee of the Company or
its subsidiaries.

          5.10 Access to Information

     (a) From the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date, LIH shall, and shall
cause the Company to, confer (which may be telephonically) with Equity One on a weekly basis
(subject to the provisos in the following sentence) with respect to the Company’s business
and the Properties generally. Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to each
Property, LIH shall, and shall cause the Company to, afford to Equity One and its lenders,
accountants, counsel and other representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable notice
during normal business hours and, at LIH’s election, in the presence of an authorized
representative of the Company, during the period prior to the Closing Date, to all the
records, due diligence materials, personnel, properties, books, Contracts and Tax Returns of
such Property and relevant subsidiaries of the Company, and during such period shall furnish
promptly to Equity One any information concerning such Property and applicable subsidiary of
the Company as Equity One may reasonably request; provided, however, that
such access does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Company or
Properties; and, provided, further, such access shall not include or
contemplate any intrusive investigation (an “Investigation”) of any Property
(whether by testing, sampling, digging, boring or otherwise), without the express prior
written consent of LIH. All such Investigations, if any, shall be at Equity One’s sole cost
and expense. Equity One assumes all risk and expense relating to Equity One’s entry on the
Property, and Equity One hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold LIH and the
Company and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives
harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from any such Investigation. The
indemnification obligations of Equity One set forth in this Section 5.10(a) shall
survive the Closing or any expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

     (b) From the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date, LIH shall cause the
Company to use its commercially reasonable efforts, upon Equity One’s request, to arrange
interviews with tenants under Material Leases set forth on Schedule

44

 

5.10(b) upon reasonable notice during normal business hours during the period
prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that a representative of LIH
or the Company may be present at any such interviews.

          5.11 Confidentiality; Publicity. Each party hereto agrees to maintain in confidence all
material and information received from the other party regarding the parties hereto, the Properties
and the other matters which are the subject of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in
accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain confidentiality agreement, dated December
23, 2009, which shall continue in full force and effect following execution of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as otherwise required by Law, the
parties hereto will obtain the other party’s prior approval of any press release to be issued
immediately following the execution of this Agreement and the Closing of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the parties shall work
together in good faith to determine the form, timing and substance of, and to issue, all other
publicity concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and other Transaction
Documents.

          5.12 Non-Solicit. Until the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement, LIH agrees
not to (and shall cause its controlled affiliates not to) market the Company, any of its
subsidiaries or any of the Properties for sale during the term of this Agreement or entertain or
discuss any offer to purchase or acquire the same with any person other than Equity One and its
affiliates.

          5.13 Consent of Mortgage Lenders.

     (a) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, LIH shall, and shall cause
the Company to, use commercially reasonable, good faith and diligent efforts to procure from
the holders of the Existing Debt encumbering the Properties, written consent from each of
the required lenders listed on Schedule 5.13(a) (each a “Mortgage Consent”)
(to the extent required under the applicable Loan Documents) to the matters set forth on
Schedule 5.13(a) attached hereto. LIH shall keep Equity One reasonably informed in
all material respects of the status and details of each Mortgage Consent, including, without
limitation, providing Equity One with copies of all material written correspondence related
to a Mortgage Consent. LIH shall cause the Company to execute, or cause to be executed by
its applicable subsidiary, any customary documents reasonably required by each such lender
in connection therewith. Equity One will reasonably cooperate with LIH and the Company in
such efforts to obtain the Mortgage Consents, which obligation of Equity One shall include,
without limitation, at Equity One’s expense, (A) causing EQY-CSC (and/or any applicable
subsidiary) and its property manager to execute any customary documents reasonably required
by each applicable lender in connection therewith, (B) causing a law firm acceptable to
each applicable lender to issue any opinion customarily required by such lender on behalf of
the borrower, and (C) causing Equity One or other creditworthy entity acceptable to the
applicable lender to execute indemnities and guaranties as to customary non-recourse
carveouts and environmental indemnifications (provided, however, that the
lender may substitute its most current forms of such documents so long as such current forms
are customary and commercially reasonable). LIH agrees, within fifteen (15) Business Days

45

 

of the date hereof, to request or cause the Company to request, in writing, a Mortgage
Consent from each applicable lender (a copy of which request shall be simultaneously
delivered by LIH to Equity One).

     (b) With respect to each Property, LIH shall pay (i) all of the lender’s costs and
expenses in connection with securing the Mortgage Consents, including, without limitation,
any processing fees, legal fees, rating confirmation costs, title charges and other
out-of-pocket expenses, and (ii) all mortgage assumption fees and penalties incurred in
connection with such Mortgage Consents and/or pursuant to the applicable Loan Documents.

     (c) Subject to Section 5.13(a) above, in the event a Mortgage Consent is not
received for any Property by October 1, 2010, then Equity One shall have the right, by
written notice to LIH on or prior to such date, to assume all negotiations with the relevant
lenders during the period from October 1, 2010 until the later of (i) the date that LIH
receives notice from the IRS that it shall grant the FIRPTA Relief Request and (ii) November
15, 2010 (but in any event not later than December 31, 2010) for the purpose of procuring
such Mortgage Consent by the Closing Date; provided, in the event Equity One
exercises such right and the Termination Date pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(ii) would
otherwise occur during such period, the Termination Date shall be extended until the later
of (i) the date that LIH receives notice from the IRS that it shall grant the FIRPTA Relief
Request and (ii) November 15, 2010 (but in any event not later than December 31, 2010);
provided further, however, that in exercising its rights under this
Section 5.13(c), Equity One shall be responsible for any incremental cost to obtain
those Mortgage Consents with respect to which Equity One exercises its rights hereunder, and
LIH shall continue to be solely responsible for the costs set forth in Section
5.13(b) in obtaining such Mortgage Consents. The exercise of such rights and
corresponding automatic extension of the Termination Date shall be at the election of Equity
One; provided, that at all times during such extension period Equity One shall
continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Mortgage Consents.

     (d) If the Mortgage Consent is still not received by the Termination Date (as extended
pursuant to the terms of Section 5.13(c), if applicable), then Equity One and LIH
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(ii).

     (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.13 to the contrary, at any time
following the date hereof prior to the termination of this Agreement, Equity One shall have
the right, by written notice to LIH, to elect to prepay any Existing Debt in full (or if not
permitted under the terms of the relevant Loan Document, defeased in full) on or prior to
the Closing Date; provided, that Equity One shall pay any and all prepayment
penalties (or costs of defeasance) and other related lender costs under the applicable Loan
Documents.

          5.14 Tax Matters. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing
Date, LIH shall cause the Company to take all actions, and refrain from taking all actions, as are
necessary to ensure that the Company will continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the
Code.

46

 

          5.15 Expenses; Transfer and Stamp Taxes.

     (a) Whether or not the Closing takes place, and except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement or in the applicable Transaction Documents, all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the party incurring such
expense.

     (b) Any transfer Taxes, recordation Taxes, notarial tariffs or stamp Taxes applicable
to the contribution of the Company Common Stock to EQY-CSC pursuant to this Agreement and
any other transfer or documentary Taxes or any filing, registration or recording fees
applicable to such conveyance and transfer shall be paid by LIH. Each party shall use
reasonable efforts to avail itself of any available exemptions from any such Taxes or fees,
and to cooperate with the other parties in providing any information and documentation that
may be necessary to obtain such exemptions and in making any required filings.

          5.16 Brokers or Finders. Other than as set forth on Schedule 5.16, each of Equity One
and LIH represent to the other, as to itself and its affiliates, that no agent, broker, investment
banker or other firm or person is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other
commission or similar fee in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or the other Transaction Documents. In the event that any broker or finder claims a commission or
finder’s fee based upon any contact, dealings or communication, the party through whom or through
whose affiliate such broker or finder makes its claim shall be solely responsible for such
commission or fee and for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the other party and its affiliates in defending
against the same. The party through whom or through whose affiliate such broker or finder makes a
claim shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend the other parties hereto, their successors and
assigns, agents, employees, officers and directors, from and against any and all Losses, arising
out of, based on, or incurred as a result of such claim.

          5.17 Supplemental Disclosure.

     (a) The LIH Disclosure Schedule shall be construed with and as an integral part of this
Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth herein. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any matter disclosed pursuant to the
LIH Disclosure Schedule, to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably discernable, shall
be deemed to be disclosed for all purposes under this Agreement but such disclosure shall
not be deemed to be an admission or representation as to, or evidence of, the materiality of
the item so disclosed, nor shall it establish any standard of material for any purpose
whatsoever. LIH shall have the right until the Closing to supplement or amend the LIH
Disclosure Schedule with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered after the
date hereof that, if existing or known at the date hereof, would have been required to be
set forth or described in the LIH Disclosure Schedule. Any such supplement or amendment of
the LIH Disclosure Schedule shall not give rise to any right of Equity One to terminate this
Agreement; provided, such supplement or amendment shall not impair Equity One’s
right to terminate this

47

 

Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iii) in the event the facts, events or
occurrences disclosed on such supplement or amendment relate to breaches of the
representations and warranties of LIH contained in this Agreement which (i) would result in
the failure of the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or (b) and (ii)
cannot be or are not cured prior to the Termination Date. Any supplement or amendment
hereunder shall be provided to Equity One not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the
Closing Date; provided that a new supplement or amendment may be provided prior to
the Closing for any fact, event or occurrence that arises following the second Business Day
prior to the Closing but prior to the Closing. Except to the extent any fact, event or
occurrence disclosed on any supplement or amendment of the LIH Disclosure Schedule arises as
a result of a breach of Section 5.1 of this Agreement, such supplement or amendment
of the LIH Disclosure Schedule shall be given effect after the Closing for purposes of
determining whether any Indemnitee is entitled to any rights of indemnification pursuant to
Section 8.1;

     (b) Equity One shall promptly notify LIH of, and furnish LIH any information it may
reasonably request with respect to, the occurrence to the knowledge of Equity One of any
event or condition or the existence to the knowledge of Equity One of any fact that would
cause any of the conditions to LIH’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement not to be fulfilled; and

     (c) LIH shall promptly notify Equity One of, and furnish Equity One any information it
may reasonably request with respect to, the occurrence to the knowledge of LIH of any event
or condition or the existence to the knowledge of LIH of any fact that would cause any of
the conditions to Equity One’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement not to be fulfilled.

          5.18 Post-Closing Cooperation. Equity One and LIH shall cooperate with each other, and shall
cause their officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives to cooperate with each other
to ensure the orderly transition of the Company and Properties to EQY-CSC and its affiliates and to
minimize any disruption to the Properties and the other respective businesses of the Company and
Equity One that might result from the transactions contemplated hereby. After the Closing Date,
upon reasonable written notice, Equity One and LIH shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each
other and their employees, counsel, auditors and representatives access, during normal business
hours, to such information and assistance relating to the Company, its subsidiaries and the
Properties (to the extent within the control of such party) as is reasonably necessary for
financial reporting and accounting matters. No party shall be required by this Section
5.18 to take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business or
unreasonably disrupt its normal operations.

          5.19 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and except as
otherwise expressly provided herein (including in Section 6.4), each of LIH and Equity One
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do,
or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, from time
to time, as and when requested by any party, each party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken,
all such further or other actions as such other

48

 

party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby
and by the other Transaction Documents.

          5.20 Name Change. At Equity One’s discretion, and as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no
event earlier than January 1, 2011), Equity One shall (directly or indirectly) cause EQY-CSC to
cause the Company to file a certificate of amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company for the purpose of changing the Company’s name.

          5.21 Amendment of Organizational Documents. LIH shall, and shall cause the Company to, use
commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as of immediately prior to the Closing, such procedural
amendments to the Company’s bylaws as may be requested by Equity One; provided, that such
amendments would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on LIH, the Company
or any of their respective subsidiaries or that, in the good faith judgment of LIH, may cause LIH
to be treated as having engaged in a deemed exchange of its equity interest in the Company for U.S.
federal income tax purposes.

          5.22 The Registration Statement. Prior to the Closing, Equity One shall prepare, file with the
SEC and cause to be declared effective a registration statement (which shall be an “automatic shelf
registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 under the Securities Act on Form S-3, if
available) permitting the public offering and sale on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under
the Securities Act of all shares of EQY Common Stock received by LIH under the Transaction
Documents or issuable in redemption of LIH LLC Shares (the “Registration Statement”);
provided, however, that before filing such Registration Statement or any amendments
or supplements thereto, Equity One will furnish copies of all such documents proposed to be filed
to LIH and provide reasonable time for LIH and its counsel to comment upon such documents. As of
its effective date and as of the Closing Date, the Registration Statement will not include any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. In connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, LIH shall
furnish in writing to Equity One such information regarding LIH (and any of its Affiliates)
requested by Equity One as is necessary or it reasonably deems advisable for inclusion in the
Registration Statement.

          5.23 Cooperation Relating to Tax Opinions, EQY Promissory Note “Bringdown,” and FIRPTA Relief
Request LIH shall reasonably cooperate with Equity One’s counsel in connection
with the preparation and delivery of the opinion referenced in Section 2.5(d)(i)(C), and
Equity One shall reasonably cooperate with LIH’s counsel in connection with the preparation and
delivery of the opinion referenced in Section 2.5(d)(i)(B). Such cooperation shall include
but not be limited to delivering such representations in the form of an officer certificate as may
be reasonably requested by counsel to LIH and/or counsel to Equity One, upon which such counsel may
rely for purposes of rendering its opinion; provided, that nothing in this Section
5.23 shall be read to require Equity One to commit to taking any action, or refrain from taking
any action, with respect to the Properties, the Company or EQY-CSC following the Closing. In order
to facilitate the delivery of the opinions referenced in Section 2.5(d)(i)(B) and
Section 2.5(d)(i)(C), LIH and Equity One shall reasonably cooperate in connection with

49

 

procuring a “bringdown” confirmation from a nationally recognized financial advisory firm reasonably acceptable to LIH of the opinion concerning the EQY Promissory Note
delivered as of the day hereof and attached hereto as Exhibit J, it being understood that
such opinion is, and such bringdown confirmation may be, subject to customary assumptions and
limitations and shall be based upon customary representations concerning matters such as leverage
ratios and payment expectations with respect to the EQY Promissory Note. LIH shall keep Equity One
informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of the FIRPTA Relief Request, and, upon
request, shall provide Equity One with copies of all material written communication received from
the IRS and/or U.S. Treasury Department relating thereto.

          5.24 Intercompany Debt. At or prior to the Closing, LIH shall deliver to Equity
One evidence reasonably satisfactory to Equity One that (i) claims with respect to £500,000,000
(GBP) of intercompany debt of CSC has been subordinated to claims against CSC under any Transaction
Document or (ii) CSC has been capitalized such that CSC’s net equity is at least £300,000,000
(GBP). From and after the Closing Date and until such time as CSC no longer has any obligations
under any Transaction Document, CSC covenants and agrees that it shall maintain such claim
subordination or level of net equity.

          5.25 Modification of EQY Promissory Note. To the extent required to facilitate
the delivery of the bringdown certificate described in Section 5.23, the parties agree to
make such amendments to the terms and conditions of the EQY Promissory Note to be delivered
pursuant to Section 2.2 as shall be reasonably necessary; provided, that neither
party shall be obligated hereunder to consent to such changes to terms and conditions as would have
a material adverse effect on the benefits expected to be received, or costs incurred, in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          5.26 FIRPTA Withholding. Pursuant to IRS Notice 89-57 and Treas. Reg. §
1.1445-2(d)(2)(i)(A), LIH shall deliver to EQY-CSC at or prior to the Closing the Notice of
Nonrecognition in the form of Exhibit F hereto (the “Notice of Nonrecognition”).
Within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Notice of Nonrecognition by EQY-CSC, Equity One shall
cause EQY-CSC to deliver the Notice of Nonrecognition to the IRS as required by Treas. Reg. §
1.1445-2(d)(2)(i)(B), together with a cover letter in the form of Exhibit F-1 hereto.
Equity One shall cause EQY-CSC to (i) certify to LIH that EQY-CSC has satisfied its obligations
under this Section 5.26, (ii) provide LIH with a copy of any certified mail certificates or
receipts related to the Notice of Nonrecognition and its delivery to and receipt by the IRS, and
(iii) provide LIH with copies of any correspondence between EQY-CSC and the IRS concerning the
Notice of Nonrecognition.

          5.27 Modifications to Reflect United Kingdom Tax Requirements. The parties
acknowledge and agree that: (i) LIH is subject to tax under the laws of the United Kingdom; and
(ii) in order for the contribution of the Company Common Stock to EQY-CSC to qualify for tax-free
roll-over treatment under the tax laws of the United Kingdom, EQY-CSC must be treated as a
“company” or “corporation” for purposes of such law. In light of the foregoing, prior to Closing,
the parties agree to make such changes or amendments to the Operating Agreement as may be requested
by LIH that are reasonably necessary to ensure that, to the reasonable satisfaction of LIH, EQY-CSC
is classified as a “company” or “corporation” for purposes of the

50

 

tax laws of the United Kingdom;
provided, however, that such changes or amendments shall not have a material
adverse impact on Equity One or EQY-CSC.

ARTICLE 7

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

          7.1 Termination.

     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may be
terminated and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement abandoned at any time
prior to the Closing Date:

     (i) by mutual written consent of LIH and Equity One;

     (ii) subject to the extension rights pursuant to Sections 5.13(c) or
7.6 hereof, by either LIH or Equity One, as the case may be, if the Closing
shall not have occurred by the earlier of (i) December 31, 2010 or (ii) the date
that is ten (10) Business Days after either (a) the satisfaction of the condition
set forth in Section 6.3(f) or (b) LIH receives notice from the IRS that it
shall not grant the FIRPTA Relief Request (as may be extended pursuant to
Section 5.13(c) or 7.6 hereof, the “Termination Date”);
provided that in no event shall the Termination Date be earlier than October
1, 2010.

     (iii) by Equity One if there has been a breach of the representations and
warranties or non-performance of covenants of LIH contained in this Agreement which
(A) would result in the failure of the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a)
or 6.2(b) and (B) is not cured within the notice period in Section
7.1(c) or cannot be cured by the earlier of (1) the notice period in Section
7.1(c) or (2) the Termination Date;

     (iv) by LIH if there has been a breach of the representations and warranties or
non-performance of covenants of Equity One contained in this Agreement which (A)
would result in the failure of the condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) or
6.3(b) and (B) is not cured within the notice period in Section
7.1(c) or cannot be cured by the earlier of (1) the notice period in Section
7.1(c) or (2) the Termination Date; or

     (v) by either LIH or Equity One pursuant to Section 7.4 below;

provided, however, that the party seeking termination pursuant to any of clauses
(ii) through (iv) above is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

53

 

     (b) Subject to Section 7.1(c), in the event of termination by LIH or
Equity One pursuant to this Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be
given to the other and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated,
without further action by any party. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1:

     (i) each party shall return all documents and other material received from the
other relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before
or after the execution hereof, to the other party (provided, that a party
may keep one copy of such materials for its legal files); and

     (ii) all confidential information received by either party with respect to the
businesses of the other party shall be treated in accordance with Sections
5.11 and 7.2 which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
the termination of this Agreement.

     (c) In the event Equity One or LIH seeks to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 7.1(a)(iii) or (iv), respectively, written notice of such party’s
intent to so terminate shall forthwith be given to the other party, specifying the grounds
for such termination and the proposed effective date of such termination (which may be no
earlier than ten (10) days from the date of such notice). The defaulting party shall have
the right to cure such default to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-defaulting party
before such termination effective date, whereupon the termination notice shall lapse and be
of no further effect.

     (d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by LIH or Equity One on December 31,
2010 pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(ii) and as of such date (i) the condition set forth
in Section 6.1(a) has been satisfied, (ii) the Mortgage Consents have been obtained
such that the condition set forth in Section 6.2(d) has been satisfied and (iii) the
condition set forth in Section 6.3(f) (9100 Relief) shall not have been satisfied
but all other conditions to LIH’s obligation to close set forth in Section 6.3 would
have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at
the Closing, but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied and
provided that the opinions of counsel pursuant to Sections 2.5(d)(i)(B) and
2.5(d)(i)(C) shall not be required), then LIH shall promptly pay Equity One a cash
payment in an amount equal to the Termination Fee set forth in Section 7.4(c) and
the provisions of Section 7.5 hereof shall apply as if Equity One accepted LIH’s
written notice of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4(a).

          7.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated and the
transactions contemplated hereby are abandoned as described in Section 7.1, (A) this
Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions
of (i) Article 1, (ii) Section 5.10, but only the indemnification obligations
specified therein, (iii) Section 5.11 relating to the obligation of the parties to keep
confidential certain information and data, which shall survive for two (2) years following such
termination, (iv) Section 5.15 relating to certain expenses, (v) Section 5.16
relating to finder’s fees and broker’s fees, (vi) Section 7.1 and this
Section 7.2, and (vii) Article 9, and (B) any other Transaction

54

 

Document that has at the date of termination of this Agreement been executed and
delivered shall automatically terminate and shall become null and void and of no further force and
effect, except for any provision thereof that such other Transaction Document expressly provides
shall survive a termination. Nothing in this Section 7.2 shall be deemed to release any
party from any liability for fraud or for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document that has at the date of termination of this
Agreement been executed and delivered or to impair the right of any party to compel specific
performance by any other party of its surviving obligations under this Agreement or such other
Transaction Document.

     7.3 Election of Remedies.

     (a) Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would
occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by them
in accordance with the terms hereof or were otherwise breached and that each party shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions or any other equitable relief to prevent breaches
of the provisions hereof (without any requirement to post any bond or other security in
connection with seeking such relief). In addition, the parties agree that the Company and
the Properties have unique attributes such that an adequate remedy would not be available at
Law for a breach of this Agreement. Each party shall have the right to seek specific
performance or other equitable relief in connection with enforcing the terms hereof (without
any requirement to post any bond or other security in connection with seeking such relief)
in accordance with Section 9.7. The parties agree not to raise any objections or
defenses to the availability of equitable remedies (including that a remedy at Law would be
adequate) to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by LIH, on the one hand, or
Equity One, on the other hand, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this
Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the
covenants and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, in each case prior to, and in
connection with, the Closing. The parties agree that any party hereto may seek a specific
performance remedy in lieu of terminating this Agreement even if such party otherwise is
entitled to terminate this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this
Section 7.3 is intended to limit or restrict any other remedies available to a party
except as expressly provided in Section 7.3(b) and (c).

     (b) Default by LIH. Without limiting Section 6.2, if LIH is in
material default with respect to the performance of any of its obligations hereunder on or
prior to the Closing Date, then Equity One, at its election and as its sole and exclusive
remedy, may elect to waive any objections, defects or imperfections of LIH’s performance and
proceed to Closing and seek an injunction or injunctions or other equitable relief or order
to specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement to which such default applies and,
in any event, to specifically enforce the Closing to occur.

     (c) Default by Equity One. Without limiting Section 6.3, if Equity One
is in material default with respect to the performance of any of its obligations hereunder
on or prior to the Closing Date, then LIH, at its election and as its sole and exclusive
remedy, may elect to waive any objections, defects or imperfections of Equity One’s
performance and proceed to Closing and seek an injunction or injunctions or other equitable
relief or

55

 

order to specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement to which such default
applies and, in any event, to specifically enforce the Closing to occur.

     (d) Alternative Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, in the event a court of competent jurisdiction has declined to specifically
enforce the obligations of a defaulting party hereunder pursuant to a claim for specific
performance brought by the non-defaulting party, then the non-defaulting party may pursue an
action for monetary damages for breach of this Agreement. If such a court has granted an
award of monetary damages for such breach, the non-defaulting party may enforce such award
and accept damages for such breach.

     7.4 FIRPTA Relief Request.

     (a) In the event that LIH receives notice from the IRS that the IRS shall not grant the
FIRPTA Relief Request, then LIH shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written
notice to Equity One, which notice shall include copies of all correspondence received from
the IRS; provided, LIH shall be required to deliver such notice of termination of
this Agreement to Equity One if the amount of the aggregate liability covered by Section 3.9
of the Tax Matters Agreement exceeds $10 million. Any such notice of termination is
referred to as a “FIRPTA Termination Notice”. Any such FIRPTA Termination Notice
shall be delivered by LIH to Equity One in writing within five (5) Business Days of receipt
of the notice from the IRS. As soon as practicable following delivery of such FIRPTA
Termination Notice (but in any event before the end of the first Business Day following the
date of delivery of such FIRPTA Termination Notice), LIH shall deposit an amount in cash
equal to the Termination Fee (the “Escrowed Termination Funds”) with an escrow agent
reasonably acceptable to the parties (it being agreed that Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &
Flom, LLP shall be deemed reasonably acceptable to the parties) (the “Escrow
Agent”). In the event that Equity One receives a FIRPTA Termination Notice from LIH
pursuant to this Section 7.4(a), Equity One shall have the right, at its sole
election by written notice delivered to LIH within five (5) Business Days after Equity One’s
receipt of such FIRPTA Termination Notice and subject to the terms of Section 3.9 of the Tax
Matters Agreement, to elect not to accept any such termination (any such notice from Equity
One electing not to accept such termination being referred to as a “Termination
Rejection Notice”). In the event Equity One delivers a Termination Rejection Notice to
LIH within five (5) Business Days after Equity One’s receipt of such FIRPTA Termination
Notice, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the other conditions to the Closing
set forth in Article 6 hereof, the parties shall proceed to the Closing without
prejudice to any other terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
(provided, that the opinions of counsel pursuant to Sections 2.5(d)(i)(B)
and 2.5(d)(i)(C)) will not be required). The Escrow Agent shall be instructed to
release the Escrowed Termination Funds (i) to Equity One (a) as promptly as practicable upon
receipt by the Escrow Agent of a written notice from Equity One that Equity One is accepting
the FIRPTA Termination Notice and this Agreement shall be deemed terminated or (b) on the
sixth (6th) Business Day following the date of delivery of the FIRPTA Termination Notice if
Equity One has not delivered a Termination Rejection Notice to LIH within five (5) Business
Days after Equity One’s receipt of the FIRPTA Termination Notice and this Agreement shall be
deemed terminated or (ii) to

56

 

LIH in the event Equity One delivers a Termination Rejection Notice to LIH within five
(5) Business Days after Equity One’s receipt of such FIRPTA Termination Notice.

     (b) In the event that (i) LIH receives notice from the IRS that the IRS shall not grant
the FIRPTA Relief Request, (ii) the amount of the aggregate liability covered by Section 3.9
of the Tax Matters Agreement does not exceed $10 million and (iii) LIH affirmatively agrees
in writing to assume all liability relating to the FIRPTA Relief Request, then the Agreement
shall not be terminated pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) and the condition to Closing
set forth in Section 6.3(f) shall be deemed satisfied, whereupon, subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of all of the other conditions to the Closing set forth in
Article 6 hereof, the parties shall proceed to the Closing without prejudice to any
other terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (provided, that the
opinions of counsel pursuant to Sections 2.5(d)(i)(B) and 2.5(d)(i)(C)) will
not be required); provided, however, that in the event that LIH does not
affirmatively agree in writing to assume the amount of the aggregate liability covered by
Section 3.9 of the Tax Matters Agreement under this Section 7.4(b), and gives
written notice thereof within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the notice from the IRS,
then Equity One shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered
to LIH within five (5) Business Days after the date LIH provides written notice to Equity
One that LIH is not assuming such liability pursuant to this Section 7.4(b).

     (c) The “Termination Fee” shall be an amount equal to a cash payment of
$5,000,000.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereto
expressly acknowledge and agree that, with respect to any termination of this Agreement in
circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable in accordance with this Section
7.4, the payment of the Termination Fee shall constitute liquidated damages with respect
to any claim for damages or any other claim which Equity One would otherwise be entitled to
assert against LIH or any of its respective assets with respect to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy
available to Equity One. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that, in light
of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages with respect to the foregoing
upon any termination of this Agreement in circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable
under this Section 7.4, the rights to payment of the Termination Fee (i) constitute
a reasonable estimate of the damages that will be suffered by reason of any such proposed or
actual termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(v) and (ii) shall be
in full and complete satisfaction of any and all damages arising as a result of the
foregoing.

     (e) CSC and LIH acknowledge that the agreements contained in Section 7.4 are an
integral part of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these
agreements, Equity One would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if LIH fails
promptly to pay the Termination Fee, and, in order to obtain such payment, Equity One
commences a suit that results in a final adjudication on the merits against LIH for the
Termination Fee, LIH shall pay to Equity One interest on the Termination Fee from and
including the date payment of the Termination Fee was due to but excluding the date of

57

 

actual payment at the prime rate of Bank of America, National Association in effect on
the date such payment was required to be made, and LIH shall pay to Equity One all of the
reasonable costs incurred by Equity One to secure payment of the Termination Fee.

          7.5 No Shop. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
7.4(a) or Section 7.1(d) above, and Equity One accepts such termination, then
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) for a period of 180 days
following the effective date of such termination, LIH agrees not to (and shall cause its controlled
affiliates not to) market for sale or other disposition either (a) the Company and its subsidiaries
substantially as a whole or (b) any of the Properties set forth on Schedule 7.5, or
entertain or discuss any offer to purchase or acquire any of the foregoing with any person other
than Equity One and its affiliates and (ii) during the 180-day period starting on the date that is
181 days following the effective date of such termination, LIH agrees that it shall not (and shall
cause its controlled affiliates to not) enter into any exclusive negotiations with third parties
with respect to the sale or other disposition of either (a) the Company and its subsidiaries
substantially as a whole or (b) any of the Properties set forth on Schedule 7.5.

          7.6 Amended EQY Charter. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Equity One shall
have the right, by written notice to LIH, to extend the Termination Date set forth in Section
7.1 by up to forty-five (45) days for the purpose of obtaining the approval of Equity One’s
stockholders to the Amended EQY Charter; provided, that at all times during such extended
period Equity One shall diligently use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approval.

ARTICLE 8

INDEMNIFICATION

          8.1 Indemnification by LIH. From and after the Closing Date, LIH agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Equity One, the Company and EQY-CSC from and against all Losses
which are incurred or suffered by any of them based upon, arising out of, in connection with or by
reason of (i) the breach by LIH of its representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement
(other than those set forth in Section 4.1(s) hereof, the indemnification obligations for
which are addressed exclusively in the Tax Matters Agreement), or (ii) failure by LIH to perform
any of the covenants or agreements applicable to it under this Agreement; provided,
however, that (A) no claim for indemnification shall be made hereunder unless and until the
value of all indemnifiable Losses, in the aggregate, shall equal or exceed $2,500,000 as of the
date such claim or claims are made, and then, only for the amount of such Losses in excess of
$2,500,000, and (B) such indemnification obligations shall not exceed, in the aggregate,
$40,000,000 (provided, that the foregoing threshold and cap shall not apply to (x) Losses
arising as a result of the breach of any LIH Fundamental Representation, (y) the failure to perform
the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 5.13(b) or 5.15, or (z) claims
based on fraud), and (C) no claim for indemnification shall be made under clause (i) above to the
extent any of the individuals listed for Equity One on Schedule 3 attached hereto had
actual knowledge, as of the date hereof, of such breach. Equity One, the Company and EQY-CSC shall
not be entitled to any recovery unless a claim for indemnification is made in accordance with
Section 8.3 and within the time period set forth in such Section 8.3 (and in any
event prior to the date the

58

 

representations, warranties, covenants and agreements that are subject of such claim
cease to survive as set forth in Section 8.4) and the person seeking indemnification
complies with the procedures set forth in such Section.

          8.2 Indemnification by Equity One. From and after the Closing Date, Equity One
shall indemnify and hold LIH harmless from and against any and all Losses which are incurred or
suffered by it based upon, arising out of, in connection with or by reason of (i) the breach by
Equity One of its representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement (other than those set
forth in Section 4.2(x) hereof, the indemnification obligations for which are addressed
exclusively in the Tax Matters Agreement) or (ii) failure by Equity One to perform any of the
covenants or agreements applicable to it under this Agreement; provided, however,
that (A) no claim for indemnification shall be made hereunder unless and until the value of all
indemnifiable Losses, in the aggregate, shall equal or exceed $2,500,000 as of the date such claim
or claims are made, and then, only for the amount of such Losses in excess of $2,500,000, (B) such
indemnification obligations shall not exceed, in the aggregate, $40,000,000 (provided, the
foregoing threshold and cap shall not apply to (x) Losses arising as a result of any Investigation
or the breach of any Equity One Fundamental Representation or (y) claims based on fraud), and
(C) no claim for indemnification shall be made under clause (i) above to the extent any of the
individuals listed for LIH on Schedule 3 attached hereto had actual knowledge, as of the
date hereof, of such breach; provided, that the limitation in clause (C) shall not be
applicable with respect to any breach of Equity One’s representations and warranties set forth in
Section 4.2(h)(b). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, LIH’s rights to indemnification and to assert a failure of the
condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) as a result of a breach of Equity One’s
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.2(h)(b) shall not be limited or
otherwise restricted as a result of any knowledge LIH has now or hereinafter obtains with respect
to the facts giving rise to such breach. LIH shall not be entitled to any recovery unless a claim
for indemnification is made in accordance with Section 8.3 and within the time period set
forth in such Section 8.3 (and in any event prior to the date the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements that are subject of such claim cease to survive as set forth
in Section 8.4) and the person seeking indemnification complies with the procedures set
forth in Section 8.3.

     8.3 Indemnification Procedure

     (a) Each person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 (an
“Indemnitee”) shall give written notice to the indemnifying party or parties from
whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”), promptly after obtaining
knowledge of any claim that it may have under this Article 8 and, in the case of a
Third Party Claim, not later than fifteen (15) days thereafter. The notice shall set forth
in reasonable detail the claim and the basis for indemnification and, in the case of a Third
Party Claim, a copy of any related third party demand, claim or complaint. Failure to give
the notice in a timely manner shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations
under this Article 8 except to the extent such failure prejudices the Indemnifying
Party in relation to such claim.

     (b) Defense of Third Party Claims. If a claim for indemnification pursuant to
this Article 8 shall arise from any action that involves an indemnifiable claim
(other than

59

 

a claim brought by a governmental authority with respect to Taxes the defense of which
is addressed exclusively in the Tax Matters Agreement) brought by a third party (a
“Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Third
Party Claim, provided the Indemnifying Party proceeds with diligence and in good faith with
respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim,
the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party, which shall be
reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee, provided that the Indemnitee shall retain the
right to employ its own counsel and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim
which shall be at its own expense unless (i) the Indemnitee is advised by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, that use of counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s
choice would be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest, (ii) the Indemnifying Party
shall not have employed counsel to represent the Indemnitee within a reasonable time after
notice of the assertion of any such claim or institution of any such action or proceeding,
or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall authorize the Indemnitee in writing to employ separate
counsel at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party. In no event shall the
Indemnifying Party be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (other
than local counsel) for all Indemnitees with respect to any claim indemnified under this
Article 8. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.3, no
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle any Third Party Claim for which
indemnification is sought under this Article 8 without the Indemnitee’s prior
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the
sole relief provided that is binding on the Indemnitee is monetary damages that are
paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.

     (c) Cooperation in Defense. Each party indemnified under any indemnity
contained in this Agreement shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in the defense of the
Third Party Claim pursuant to which the Indemnifying Party is alleged to have liability.

     8.4 Survival.

     (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all the representations and warranties set
forth in Article 4 shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months from the Closing
Date; provided, however, that any claim based on (i) fraud, or (ii) a
failure to perform the covenants and agreements set forth in Sections 5.13(b) or
5.15, will survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
The representations and warranties of LIH set forth in Sections 4.1(a) (Organization
and Good Standing), 4.1(b) (Capitalization), 4.1(e) (Due Authorization;
Validity of Agreements) and 4.1(i) (Company Common Stock) (collectively, the
“LIH Fundamental Representations”) shall not expire; and provided,
further, however, that the representations and warranties of Equity One set forth in
Sections 4.2(b) (Organization and Good Standing), 4.2(d) (Capitalization),
4.2(e) (Equity One Common Stock), 4.2(f) (Due Authorization; Validity of
Agreements), 4.2(g) (EQY Promissory Note), 4.2(h)(b) (No Violation or
Default) and 4.2(ee) (EQY-CSC) (collectively, the “Equity One Fundamental
Representations”) shall not expire; and provided further, however, that
the survival of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1(s) (Tax
Matters) and 4.2(x) (Tax Matters) are addressed exclusively in the Tax Matters
Agreement. All of the covenants and other

60

 

agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date or
dates specified therein.

     (b) In the event that any written notice of a claim shall be given hereunder in
accordance with the terms of this Article 8 within the applicable survival period,
the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements that are the subject of such
indemnity claim shall survive until such claim is finally resolved but only with respect to
such claim and any directly related matters.

          8.5 Insurance. The indemnity obligations of the parties under this Article
8 shall be further limited as set forth in this Section 8.5.

          (a) If any Losses sustained by an Indemnitee are covered by an insurance policy or an
indemnification, contribution or similar obligation of another person (other than an affiliate of
such Indemnitee), the Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such
insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments. If the Indemnitee receives such
insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments prior to being indemnified, held
harmless and reimbursed under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as applicable, with
respect to such Losses, the payment by an Indemnifying Party under this Article 8 with
respect to such Losses shall be reduced by the net amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity,
contribution or similar payments to the extent related to such Losses, less reasonable attorney’s
fees, Taxes and other expenses incurred in connection with such recovery. If the Indemnitee
receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments after being
indemnified and held harmless by an Indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses, the Indemnitee
shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the net amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity,
contribution or similar payment to the extent related to such Losses, less reasonable attorney’s
fees, Taxes and other expenses incurred in connection with such recovery. If any Indemnitee
receives payment under this Article 8 on account of a claim that an Indemnifying Party
believes in good faith is covered by an insurance policy or an indemnification, contribution or
similar obligation of another person (other than an affiliate of such Indemnitee), that Indemnitee
shall (i) on written request of the Indemnifying Party assign, to the extent assignable, its rights
under such insurance policy or indemnification, contribution or similar obligation with respect to
such claim to the Indemnifying Party and (ii) be relieved of any further obligation to pursue
collection of such insurance or indemnification, contribution or similar obligation (except that,
if requested to do so by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the
Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, to collect any such insurance or
indemnification, contribution or similar obligation).

          (b) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article 8
shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit realized by the Indemnitee arising from the
incurrence or payment of any such Loss and shall be increased by the amount of the income Tax, if
any, attributable to the receipt of such indemnity payments; provided that if an entity
filing Tax Returns as a REIT is the Indemnitee, it shall be assumed that no Tax benefits are
realized.

61

 

          (c) No claim for indemnification shall be made against LIH with respect to any Loss to the
extent such Loss was reflected as a liability in the Final Working Capital Amount.

          8.6 Exclusivity. After the Closing, to the extent permitted by Law, the
indemnities set forth in this Article 8 shall be the exclusive remedies of each party
hereto and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates for any breach of
this Agreement (other than claims based on fraud), and the parties shall not be entitled to, and
hereby waive their rights to, a rescission of this Agreement or to any further indemnification
rights or claims of any nature whatsoever in respect of any such breach of this Agreement (other
than claims based on fraud). Nothing in this Section 8.6 shall limit the indemnification
provisions set forth in any of the other Transaction Documents.

of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal,

that certain letter of intent between Equity One and Liberty International plc,

proceeding arising out of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby. Each party agrees to commence any such action, suit or proceeding
either in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or if such suit,
action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. Each party irrevocably and
unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding
arising out of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby in (i) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, or (ii) the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and hereby and thereby further
irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any
such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient
forum. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial
jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 9.7 in any such action or proceeding
by mailing copies thereof by registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, to its address as specified in or pursuant to Section 9.2. However, the
foregoing shall not limit the right of a party hereto to effect service of process on the other
party by any other legally available method.

          9.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect to any
litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, any
other Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. Each party
(a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented,
expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to

waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement,

other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion.

64

 

          9.11 No Third Party Beneficiary. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are
intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors or permitted
assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon
any other person other than any person entitled to indemnity under Article 8.

ARTICLE 2

EQUITY ONE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

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

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

6

 

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

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

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

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

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

7

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8

 

     2.5 Protections and Obligations.

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

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

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

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

9

 

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

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

10

 

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

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

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

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

ARTICLE 3

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

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

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

     3.2 Election.

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

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

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

12

 

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

     3.4 Exclusive Gazit Shares Right of First Offer.

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

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

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

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

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

13

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

15

 

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

ARTICLE 4

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

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

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

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

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

16

 

ARTICLE 5

TAG ALONG RIGHTS

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

17

 

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

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

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

ARTICLE 6

CHARTER AMENDMENT

     6.1 Equity One Charter.

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

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

18

 

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

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

ARTICLE 7

TERMINATION OF RIGHTS; APPLICATION TO FUTURE PURCHASES; TREATMENT

OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK

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

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

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

ARTICLE 8

MISCELLANEOUS

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

19

 

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

     8.2 Request for Information; Covenants

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

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

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

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

     8.4 Assignment of Rights.

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

20

 

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

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

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

          (d) Promptly following the receipt by any member of the Gazit Group of a notice from any
Qualified Lender exercising its right to foreclose under any loan pursuant to which the Gazit Group
has pledged Pledged Shares to such Qualified Lender pursuant to Section 8.4(a) above (a
“Foreclosure Notice”), Gazit Globe agrees to provide a copy of the Foreclosure Notice to
LIH and Equity One; provided, however, that neither LIH nor Equity One shall share

other members of Liberty Group, Equity One and their respective agents and representatives, who
shall also keep such information confidential.

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

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

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

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

23

 

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

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

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