Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, the following information contains forward-looking statements as defined under federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include statements about anticipated growth in revenues, the size of our development program, earnings per share, returns and portfolio value and expectations about our liquidity. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which Regency Centers Corporation (“Regency” or “Company”) operates, and management’s beliefs and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in national and local economic conditions; financial difficulties of tenants; competitive market conditions, including pricing of acquisitions and sales of properties and out-parcels; changes in expected leasing activity and market rents; timing of acquisitions, development starts and sales of properties and out-parcels; our inability to exercise voting control over the joint ventures through which we own or develop many of our properties; weather; consequences of any armed conflict or terrorist attack against the United States; the ability to obtain governmental approvals; and meeting development schedules. For additional information, see “Risk Factors” elsewhere herein. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Regency Centers Corporation appearing elsewhere within.

PART I

 

Item 1. Business

Regency is a qualified real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which began operations in 1993. Our primary operating and investment goal is long-term growth in earnings per share and total shareholder return, which we work to achieve by focusing on a strategy of owning, operating and developing high-quality community and neighborhood shopping centers that are tenanted by market-dominant grocers, category-leading anchors, specialty retailers and restaurants located in areas with above average household incomes and population densities. All of our operating, investing and financing activities are performed through our operating partnership, Regency Centers, L.P. (“RCLP”), RCLP’s wholly owned subsidiaries, and through its investments in joint ventures with third parties. Regency currently owns 99% of the outstanding operating partnership units of RCLP.

At December 31, 2006, we directly owned 218 shopping centers (the “Consolidated Properties”) located in 22 states representing 24.7 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). Our cost of these shopping centers is $3.5 billion before depreciation. Through joint ventures, we own partial interests in 187 shopping centers (the “Unconsolidated Properties”) located in 24 states and the District of Columbia representing 22.5 million square feet of GLA. Our investment, at cost, in the Unconsolidated Properties is $434.1 million. Certain portfolio information described within this Form 10-K is presented (a) on a Combined Basis, which is a total of the Consolidated Properties and the Unconsolidated Properties, (b) for our Consolidated Properties only and (c) for the Unconsolidated Properties that we own through joint ventures. We believe that presenting the information under these methods provides a more complete understanding of the properties that we wholly-own versus those that we partially-own, but for which we provide full property management, asset management, investing and financing services. The shopping center portfolio that we manage, on a Combined Basis, represents 405 shopping centers located in 28 states and the District of Columbia and contains 47.2 million square feet of GLA.

We earn revenues and generate cash flow by leasing space in our shopping centers to market-leading grocers, major retail anchors, specialty side-shop retailers, and restaurants, including ground leasing or selling building pads (out-parcels) to these tenants. We experience growth in revenues by increasing occupancy and rental rates at currently owned shopping centers, and by acquiring and developing new shopping centers. Community and neighborhood shopping centers generate substantial daily traffic by conveniently offering daily necessities and services. This high traffic generates increased sales, thereby driving higher occupancy and rental-rate growth, which we expect will sustain our growth in earnings per share and increase the value of our portfolio over the long term.

We seek a range of strong national, regional and local specialty retailers, for the same reason that we choose to anchor our centers with leading grocers and major retailers who provide a mix of goods and services that meet consumer needs. We have created a formal partnering process – the Premier Customer Initiative (“PCI”) – to promote mutually beneficial relationships with our specialty retailers. The objective of PCI is for Regency to build a base of specialty tenants who represent the “best-in-class” operators in their respective merchandising categories. Such retailers reinforce the consumer appeal and other strengths of a center’s anchor, help to stabilize a center’s occupancy, reduce re-leasing downtime, reduce tenant turnover and yield higher sustainable rents.

Table of Contents

We grow our shopping center portfolio through acquisitions of operating centers and new shopping center development, where we acquire the land and construct the building. Development is customer driven, meaning we generally have an executed lease from the anchor before we start construction. Developments serve the growth needs of our anchors, and specialty retailers, resulting in modern shopping centers with long-term anchor leases that produce attractive returns on our invested capital. This development process can require up to 36 months, or longer, from initial land or redevelopment acquisition through construction, lease-up and stabilization of rental income, depending upon the size of the project. Generally, anchor tenants begin operating their stores prior to the completion of construction of the entire center, resulting in rental income during the development phase.

We intend to maintain a conservative capital structure to fund our growth programs, which should preserve our investment-grade ratings. Our approach is founded on our self-funding business model. This model utilizes center “recycling” as a key component, which requires ongoing monitoring of each center to ensure that it continues to meet our investment standards. We sell the operating properties that no longer measure up to our standards. We also develop certain retail centers because of their attractive profit margins with the intent of selling them to joint ventures or other third parties upon completion. These sale proceeds are re-deployed into new, higher-quality developments and acquisitions that are expected to generate sustainable revenue growth and more attractive returns.

Joint venturing of shopping centers also provides us with a capital source for new developments and acquisitions, as well as the opportunity to earn fees for asset and property management services. As asset manager, we are engaged by our partners to apply similar operating, investment, and capital strategies to the portfolios owned by the joint ventures. Joint ventures grow their shopping center investments through acquisitions from third parties or direct purchases from Regency. Although selling properties to joint ventures reduces our ownership interest, we continue to share in the risks and rewards of centers that meet our high quality standards and long-term investment strategy.

Competition

We are among the largest publicly-held owners of shopping centers in the nation based on revenues, number of properties, gross leasable area and market capitalization. There are numerous companies and private individuals engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition and operation of shopping centers which compete with us in our targeted markets. This results in competition for attracting anchor tenants, as well as the acquisition of existing shopping centers and new development sites. We believe that the principal competitive factors in attracting tenants in our market areas are location, demographics, rental costs, tenant mix, property age and maintenance. We believe that our competitive advantages include our locations within our market areas, the design quality of our shopping centers, the strong demographics surrounding our shopping centers, our relationships with our anchor tenants and our side-shop and out-parcel retailers, our PCI program which allows us to provide retailers with multiple locations, our practice of maintaining and renovating our shopping centers, and our ability to source and develop new shopping centers.

Changes in Policies

Our Board of Directors establishes the policies that govern our investment and operating strategies including, among others, development and acquisition of shopping centers, tenant and market focus, debt and equity financing policies, quarterly distributions to stockholders, and REIT tax status. The Board of Directors may amend these policies at any time without a vote of our stockholders.

Employees

Our headquarters are located at One Independent Drive, Suite 114, Jacksonville, Florida. We presently maintain 21 market offices nationwide where we conduct management, leasing, construction, and investment activities. At December 31, 2006, we had 499 employees and we believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Compliance with Governmental Regulations

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be liable for the cost to remove or remediate certain hazardous or toxic substances at our shopping centers. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. The cost of required remediation and the owner’s liability for remediation could exceed the value of the

Table of Contents

property and/or the aggregate assets of the owner. The presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent the property or borrow using the property as collateral. We have a number of properties that could require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental remediation. Environmental remediation is not currently expected to have a material financial effect on us due to reserves for remediation, insurance programs designed to mitigate the cost of remediation and various state-regulated programs that shift the responsibility and cost to the state.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk Factors Related to Our Industry and Real Estate Investments

Our revenues and cash flow could be adversely affected by poor market conditions where properties are geographically concentrated.

Regency’s performance depends on the economic conditions in markets in which our properties are concentrated. During the year ended December 31, 2006, our properties in California, Florida and Texas accounted for 45% of our consolidated net operating income. Our revenues and cash available for distribution to stockholders could be adversely affected by this geographic concentration if market conditions in these areas, such as an oversupply of retail space or a reduction in the demand for shopping centers, become more competitive relative to other geographic areas.

Loss of revenues from major tenants could reduce distributions to stockholders.

We derive significant revenues from anchor tenants such as Kroger, Publix and Safeway that occupy more than one center. Distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected by the loss of revenues in the event a major tenant:

 

   

becomes bankrupt or insolvent;

 

   

experiences a downturn in its business;

 

   

materially defaults on its lease;

 

   

does not renew its leases as they expire; or

 

   

renews at lower rental rates.

Vacated anchor space, including space owned by the anchor, can reduce rental revenues generated by the shopping center because of the loss of the departed anchor tenant’s customer drawing power. Most anchors have the right to vacate and prevent re-tenanting by paying rent for the balance of the lease term. If major tenants vacate a property, then other tenants may be entitled to terminate their leases at the property.

Downturns in the retailing industry likely will have a direct adverse impact on our revenues and cash flow.

Our properties consist primarily of grocery-anchored shopping centers. Our performance therefore is generally linked to economic conditions in the market for retail space. The market for retail space has been or could be adversely affected by any of the following:

 

   

the growth of super-centers, such as those operated by Wal-Mart, and their adverse effect on major grocery chains;

 

   

the impact of increased energy costs on consumers and its consequential effect on the number of shopping visits to our centers;

 

   

weakness in the national, regional and local economies;

 

   

consequences of any armed conflict involving, or terrorist attack against, the United States;

 

   

the adverse financial condition of some large retailing companies;

 

   

the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector;

 

   

the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets;

 

   

increasing consumer purchases through catalogs or the Internet;

 

   

reduction in the demand by tenants to occupy our shopping centers as a result of reduced consumer demand for certain retail formats such as video rental stores;

 

   

the timing and costs associated with property improvements and rentals;

 

   

changes in taxation and zoning laws; and

 

   

adverse government regulation.

To the extent that any of these conditions occur, they are likely to impact market rents for retail space and our cash available for distribution to stockholders.

Table of Contents

Unsuccessful development activities or a slowdown in development activities could reduce distributions to stockholders.

We actively pursue development activities as opportunities arise. Development activities require various government and other approvals for entitlements which can significantly delay the development process. We may not recover our investment in development projects for which approvals are not received. We incur other risks associated with development activities, including:

 

   

the risk that the current size and continued growth in our development pipeline will strain the organization’s capacity to complete the developments within the targeted timelines and at the expected returns on invested capital;

 

   

the risk that we may abandon development opportunities and lose our investment in these developments;

 

   

the risk that development costs of a project may exceed original estimates, possibly making the project unprofitable;

 

   

delays in the development and construction process;

 

   

lack of cash flow during the construction period; and

 

   

the risk that occupancy rates and rents at a completed project will not be sufficient to make the project profitable.

If we sustain material losses due to an unsuccessful development project, our cash flow available for distribution to stockholders will be reduced. Our earnings and cash flow available for distribution to stockholders also may be reduced if we experience a significant slowdown in our development activities.

Uninsured loss may adversely affect distributions to stockholders.

We carry comprehensive liability, fire, flood, extended coverage, rental loss and environmental insurance for our properties with policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. We believe that the insurance carried on our properties is adequate in accordance with industry standards. There are, however, some types of losses, such as from hurricanes, terrorism, wars or earthquakes, which may be uninsurable, or the cost of insuring against such losses may not be economically justifiable. If an uninsured loss occurs, we could lose both the invested capital in and anticipated revenues from the property, but we would still be obligated to repay any recourse mortgage debt on the property. In that event, our distributions to stockholders could be reduced.

We face competition from numerous sources.

The ownership of shopping centers is highly fragmented, with less than 10% owned by real estate investment trusts. We face competition from other real estate investment trusts as well as from numerous small owners in the acquisition, ownership and leasing of shopping centers. We compete to develop shopping centers with other real estate investment trusts engaged in development activities as well as with local, regional and national real estate developers.

We compete in the acquisition of properties through proprietary research that identifies opportunities in markets with high barriers to entry and higher-than-average population growth and household income. We seek to maximize rents per square foot by establishing relationships with supermarket chains that are first or second in their markets or other category-leading anchors and leasing non-anchor space in multiple centers to national or regional tenants. We compete to develop properties by applying our proprietary research methods to identify development and leasing opportunities and by pre-leasing a significant portion of a center before beginning construction.

There can be no assurance, however, that other real estate owners or developers will not utilize similar research methods and target the same markets and anchor tenants that we target. These entities may successfully control these markets and tenants to our exclusion. If we cannot successfully compete in our targeted markets, our cash flow, and therefore distributions to stockholders, may be adversely affected.

Costs of environmental remediation could reduce our cash flow available for distribution to stockholders.

Under various federal, state and local laws, an owner or manager of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on the property. These laws often impose liability

 

5


Table of Contents

without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The cost of any required remediation could exceed the value of the property and/or the aggregate assets of the owner.

We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to our shopping centers pertaining to chemicals used by the dry cleaning industry, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and underground petroleum storage tanks (UST’s). The presence of, or the failure to properly remediate, hazardous or toxic substances may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent a contaminated property or to borrow using the property as collateral. Any of these developments could reduce cash flow and distributions to stockholders.

Risk Factors Related to Our Joint Ventures and Acquisition Structure

We do not have voting control over our joint venture investments, so we are unable to ensure that our objectives will be pursued.

We have invested as a co-venturer in the acquisition or development of properties. As of December 31, 2006, our investments in real estate partnerships represented 11.8% of our total assets. These investments involve risks not present in a wholly-owned project. We do not have voting control over the ventures. The co-venturer might (1) have interests or goals that are inconsistent with our interests or goals or (2) otherwise impede our objectives. The co-venturer also might become insolvent or bankrupt.

Our joint ventures account for a significant portion of our revenues and net income in the form of management fees and are an important part of our growth strategy. The termination of our joint ventures could adversely affect distributions to stockholders.

Our management fee income has increased significantly as our participation in joint ventures has increased. If joint ventures owning a significant number of properties were dissolved for any reason, we would lose the asset management and property management fees from these joint ventures, which could adversely affect the amount of cash available for distribution to stockholders.

In addition, termination of the joint ventures without replacing them with new joint ventures could adversely affect our growth strategy. Property sales to the joint ventures provide us with an important source of funding for additional developments and acquisitions. Without this source of capital, our ability to grow and to increase distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected.

Our partnership structure may limit our flexibility to manage our assets.

We invest in retail shopping centers through Regency Centers, L.P., the operating partnership in which we currently own 99% of the outstanding common partnership units. From time to time, we acquire properties through our operating partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests. This acquisition structure may permit limited partners who contribute properties to us to defer some, if not all, of the income tax liability that they would incur if they sold the property.

Properties contributed to our operating partnership may have unrealized gain attributable to the difference between the fair market value and adjusted tax basis in the properties prior to contribution. As a result, the sale of these properties could cause adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contributed them.

Generally, our operating partnership has no obligation to consider the tax consequences of its actions to any limited partner. However, our operating partnership may acquire properties in the future subject to material restrictions on refinancing or resale designed to minimize the adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contribute those properties. These restrictions could significantly reduce our flexibility to manage our assets by preventing us from reducing mortgage debt or selling a property when such a transaction might be in our best interest in order to reduce interest costs or dispose of an under-performing property.

Risk Factors Related to Our Capital Recycling and Capital Structure

An increase in market capitalization rates could reduce the value of the centers we sell, requiring us to sell more properties than initially planned in order to fund our development program. An increase in property dispositions would dilute our earnings.

As part of our capital recycling program, we sell operating properties that no longer meet our investment standards. We also develop certain retail centers because of their attractive margins with the intent of selling them to joint ventures or other third parties for a profit. These sale proceeds are used to fund the construction of new developments. An increase in market capitalization rates could cause a reduction in the value of centers identified for sale, which would have an adverse impact on our capital recycling program by reducing the amount of cash generated and profits realized. In order to meet the cash requirements of our development program, we may be required to sell more properties than initially planned, which would have a dilutive impact on our earnings.

Our debt financing may reduce distributions to stockholders.

We do not expect to generate sufficient funds from operations to make balloon principal payments when due on our debt. If we are unable to refinance our debt on acceptable terms, we might be forced (1) to dispose of properties, which might result in losses, or (2) to obtain financing at unfavorable terms. Either could reduce the cash flow available for distributions to stockholders.

In addition, if we cannot make required mortgage payments, the mortgagee could foreclose on the property securing the mortgage, causing the loss of cash flow from that property. Furthermore, substantially all of our debt is cross-defaulted, which means that a default under one loan could trigger defaults under other loans.

Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of debt that may be incurred. The degree to which we are leveraged could have important consequences, including the following:

 

   

leverage could affect our ability to obtain additional financing in the future to repay indebtedness or for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes;

 

   

leverage could make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business or the economy generally; and

 

   

as a result, our leverage could lead to reduced distributions to stockholders.

Covenants in our debt agreements may restrict our operating activities and adversely affect our financial condition.

Our revolving line of credit and our unsecured notes contain customary covenants, including compliance with financial ratios, such as ratios of total debt to gross asset value and fixed charge coverage ratios. Our line of credit also restricts our ability to enter into a transaction that would result in a change of control. These covenants may limit our operational flexibility and our acquisition activities. Moreover, if we breach any of these covenants, the resulting default could cause the acceleration of our indebtedness, even in the absence of a payment default. If we are not able to refinance our indebtedness after a default, or unable to refinance our indebtedness on favorable terms, distributions to stockholders and our financial condition would be adversely affected.

We depend on external sources of capital, which may not be available in the future.

To qualify as a REIT, we must, among other things, distribute to our stockholders each year at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding any net capital gains). Because of these distribution requirements, we likely will not be able to fund all future capital needs, including capital for acquisitions, with income from operations. We therefore will have to rely on third-party sources of capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of things, including the market’s perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings. In addition, our line of credit imposes covenants that limit our flexibility in obtaining other financing, such as a prohibition on negative pledge agreements.

Table of Contents

Additional equity offerings may result in substantial dilution of stockholders’ interests, and additional debt financing may substantially increase our degree of leverage.

Risk Factors Related to Interest Rates and the Market for Our Stock

Increased interest rates may reduce distributions to stockholders.

We are obligated on floating rate debt, and if we do not eliminate our exposure to increases in interest rates through interest rate protection or cap agreements, these increases may reduce cash flow and our ability to make distributions to stockholders.

Although swap agreements enable us to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt and cap agreements enable us to cap our maximum interest rate, they expose us to the risk that the counterparties to these hedge agreements may not perform, which could increase our exposure to rising interest rates. If we enter into swap agreements, decreases in interest rates will increase our interest expense as compared to the underlying floating rate debt. This could result in our making payments to unwind these agreements, such as in connection with a prepayment of the floating rate debt. Cap agreements do not protect us from increases up to the capped rate.

Increased market interest rates could reduce our stock prices.

The annual dividend rate on our common stock as a percentage of its market price may influence the trading price of our stock. An increase in market interest rates may lead purchasers to demand a higher annual dividend rate, which could adversely affect the market price of our stock. A decrease in the market price of our common stock could reduce our ability to raise additional equity in the public markets. Selling common stock at a decreased market price would have a dilutive impact on existing shareholders.

Risk Factors Related to Federal Income Tax Laws

If we fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates.

We believe that we qualify for taxation as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and we plan to operate so that we can continue to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. If we qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on our income that we distribute currently to our stockholders. Many of the REIT requirements, however, are highly technical and complex. The determination that we are a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances, some of which may not be totally within our control and some of which involve questions of interpretation. For example, to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income must come from specific passive sources, like rent, that are itemized in the REIT tax laws. There can be no assurance that the IRS or a court would agree with the positions we have taken in interpreting the REIT requirements. We also are required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding capital gains). The fact that we hold many of our assets through joint ventures and their subsidiaries further complicates the application of the REIT requirements. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize our REIT status. Furthermore, Congress and the Internal Revenue Service might make changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the courts might issue new rulings, that make it more difficult, or impossible, for us to remain qualified as a REIT.

Also, unless the IRS granted us relief under certain statutory provisions, we would remain disqualified as a REIT for four years following the year we first failed to qualify. If we failed to qualify as a REIT, we would have to pay significant income taxes. This likely would have a significant adverse affect on the value of our securities. In addition, we would no longer be required to pay any dividends to stockholders.

Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are required to pay certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property. For example, if we have net income from “prohibited transactions,” that income will be subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. The determination as to whether a particular sale is a prohibited transaction depends on the facts and circumstances related to that sale. While we have undertaken a significant number of asset sales in recent years, we do not believe that those sales should be considered prohibited transactions, but there can be no assurance that the IRS would not contend otherwise.

Table of Contents

In addition, any net taxable income earned directly by our taxable affiliates, including Regency Realty Group, Inc., is subject to federal and state corporate income tax. Several provisions of the laws applicable to REITs and their subsidiaries ensure that a taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to an appropriate level of federal income taxation. For example, a taxable REIT subsidiary is limited in its ability to deduct interest payments made to an affiliated REIT. In addition, a REIT has to pay a 100% penalty tax on some payments that it receives if the economic arrangements between the REIT, the REIT’s tenants and the taxable REIT subsidiary are not comparable to similar arrangements between unrelated parties. Finally, some state and local jurisdictions may tax some of our income even though as a REIT we are not subject to federal income tax on that income. To the extent that we and our affiliates are required to pay federal, state and local taxes, we will have less cash available for distributions to our stockholders.

A REIT may not own securities in any one issuer if the value of those securities exceeds 5% of the value of the REIT’s total assets or the securities owned by the REIT represent more than 10% of the issuer’s outstanding voting securities or 10% of the value of the issuer’s outstanding securities. An exception to these tests allows a REIT to own securities of a subsidiary that exceed the 5% value test and the 10% value tests if the subsidiary elects to be a “taxable REIT subsidiary.” We are not able to own securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries that represent in the aggregate more than 20% of the value of our total assets. We currently own more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of Regency Realty Group, Inc., which has elected to be a taxable REIT subsidiary.

Risk Factors Related to Our Ownership Limitations, the Florida Business Corporation Act and Certain Other Matters

Restrictions on the ownership of our capital stock to preserve our REIT status could delay or prevent a change in control.

Ownership of more than 7% by value of our outstanding capital stock by certain persons is restricted for the purpose of maintaining our qualification as a REIT, with certain exceptions. This 7% limitation may discourage a change in control and may also (i) deter tender offers for our capital stock, which offers may be attractive to our stockholders, or (ii) limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their capital stock that might otherwise exist if an investor attempted to assemble a block in excess of 7% of our outstanding capital stock or to effect a change in control.

The issuance of our capital stock could delay or prevent a change in control.

Our articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue up to 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 10,000,000 shares of special common stock and to establish the preferences and rights of any shares issued. The issuance of preferred stock or special common stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders’ interest. The provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act regarding control share acquisitions and affiliated transactions could also deter potential acquisitions by preventing the acquiring party from voting the common stock it acquires or consummating a merger or other extraordinary corporate transaction without the approval of our disinterested stockholders.

Regency’s leases have terms generally ranging from three to five years for tenant space under 5,000 square feet. Leases greater than 10,000 square feet generally have lease terms in excess of five years, mostly comprised of anchor tenants. Many of the anchor leases contain provisions allowing the tenant the option of extending the term of the lease at expiration. The leases provide for the monthly payment in advance of fixed minimum rentals, additional rents calculated as a percentage of the tenant’s sales, the tenant’s pro-rata share of real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance expenses, and reimbursement for utility costs if not directly metered.

We intend to pay regular quarterly distributions to our common stockholders. Future distributions will be declared and paid at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will depend upon cash generated by operating activities, our financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and such other factors as our Board of Directors deem relevant. We anticipate that for the foreseeable future, cash available for distribution will be greater than earnings and profits due to non-cash expenses, primarily depreciation and amortization, to be incurred by us. Distributions by us to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes will be taxable to stockholders as either ordinary dividend income or capital gain income if so declared by us. Distributions in excess of earnings and profits generally will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital. Such distributions have the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of a stockholder’s common stock. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make annual distributions to stockholders of at least 90% of our taxable income. Under certain circumstances, which we do not expect to occur, we could be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distributions in order to meet such requirements. We currently maintain the Regency Centers Corporation Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan which enables our stockholders to automatically reinvest distributions, as well as, make voluntary cash payments towards the purchase of additional shares.

Under our loan agreement for our line of credit, distributions may not exceed 95% of Funds from Operations (“FFO”) based on the immediately preceding four quarters. FFO is defined in accordance with the NAREIT definition available on their website at www.nareit.com. Also, in the event of any monetary default, we may not make distributions to stockholders.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview and Operating Philosophy

Regency is a qualified real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which began operations in 1993. Our primary operating and investment goal is long-term growth in earnings per share and total shareholder return, which we work to achieve by focusing on a strategy of owning, operating and developing high-quality community and neighborhood shopping centers that are tenanted by market-dominant grocers, category-leading anchors, specialty retailers and restaurants located in areas with above average household incomes and population densities. All of our operating, investing and financing activities are performed through our operating partnership, Regency Centers, L.P. (“RCLP”), RCLP’s wholly owned subsidiaries, and through its investments in joint ventures with third parties. Regency currently owns 99% of the outstanding operating partnership units of RCLP.

At December 31, 2006, we directly owned 218 shopping centers (the “Consolidated Properties”) located in 22 states representing 24.7 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). Our cost of these shopping centers is $3.5 billion before depreciation. Through joint ventures, we own partial interests in 187 shopping centers (the “Unconsolidated Properties”) located in 24 states and the District of Columbia representing 22.5 million square feet of GLA. Our investment, at cost, in the Unconsolidated Properties is $434.1 million. Certain portfolio information described below is presented (a) on a Combined Basis, which is a total of the Consolidated Properties and the Unconsolidated Properties, (b) for our Consolidated Properties only and (c) for the Unconsolidated Properties that we own through joint ventures. We believe that presenting the information under these methods provides a more complete understanding of the properties that we wholly-own versus those that we partially-own, but for which we provide full property management, asset management, investing and financing services. The shopping center portfolio that we manage, on a Combined Basis, represents 405 shopping centers located in 28 states and the District of Columbia and contains 47.2 million square feet of GLA.

We earn revenues and generate cash flow by leasing space in our shopping centers to market-leading grocers, major retail anchors, specialty side-shop retailers, and restaurants, including ground leasing or selling building pads (out-parcels) to these tenants. We experience growth in revenues by increasing occupancy and rental rates at currently owned shopping centers, and by acquiring and developing new shopping centers. Community and neighborhood shopping centers generate substantial daily traffic by conveniently offering daily necessities and services. This high traffic generates increased sales, thereby driving higher occupancy and rental-rate growth, which we expect will sustain our growth in earnings per share and increase the value of our portfolio over the long term.

We seek a range of strong national, regional and local specialty retailers, for the same reason that we choose to anchor our centers with leading grocers and major retailers who provide a mix of goods and services that meet consumer needs. We have created a formal partnering process — the Premier Customer Initiative (“PCI”) — to promote mutually beneficial relationships with our specialty retailers. The objective of PCI is for Regency to build a base of specialty tenants who represent the “best-in-class” operators in their respective merchandising categories. Such retailers reinforce the consumer appeal and other strengths of a center’s anchor, help to stabilize a center’s occupancy, reduce re-leasing downtime, reduce tenant turnover and yield higher sustainable rents.

We grow our shopping center portfolio through acquisitions of operating centers and new shopping center development, where we acquire the land and construct the building. Development is customer driven, meaning we generally have an executed lease from the anchor before we start construction. Developments serve the growth needs of our anchors, and specialty retailers, resulting in modern shopping centers with long-term anchor leases that produce attractive returns on our invested capital. This development process can require up to 36 months, or longer, from initial land or redevelopment acquisition through construction, lease-up and stabilization of rental income, depending upon the size of the project. Generally, anchor tenants begin operating their stores prior to the completion of construction of the entire center, resulting in rental income during the development phase.

Table of Contents

We intend to maintain a conservative capital structure to fund our growth programs, which should preserve our investment-grade ratings. Our approach is founded on our self-funding business model. This model utilizes center “recycling” as a key component, which requires ongoing monitoring of each center to ensure that it continues to meet our investment standards. We sell the operating properties that no longer measure up to our standards. We also develop certain retail centers because of their attractive profit margins with the intent of selling them to joint ventures or other third parties upon completion. These sale proceeds are re-deployed into new, higher-quality developments and acquisitions that are expected to generate sustainable revenue growth and more attractive returns.

Joint venturing of shopping centers also provides us with a capital source for new developments and acquisitions, as well as the opportunity to earn fees for asset and property management services. As asset manager, we are engaged by our partners to apply similar operating, investment, and capital strategies to the portfolios owned by the joint ventures. Joint ventures grow their shopping center investments through acquisitions from third parties or direct purchases from Regency. Although selling properties to joint ventures reduces our ownership interest, we continue to share in the risks and rewards of centers that meet our high quality standards and long-term investment strategy. We have no obligations or liabilities of the joint ventures beyond our ownership interest percentage.

We have identified certain significant risks and challenges affecting our industry, and we are addressing them accordingly. An economic downturn could result in declines in occupancy levels at our shopping centers, which would reduce our rental revenues; however, we believe that our investment focus on neighborhood and community shopping centers that conveniently provide daily necessities will minimize the impact of a downturn in the economy. Increased competition from super-centers and industry consolidation could result in retailer store closings; however, we closely monitor the operating performance and tenants’ sales in our shopping centers that operate near super-centers as well as those tenants operating retail formats that are experiencing significant changes in competition or business practice. We also continue to monitor retail trends and merchandise our shopping centers based on consumer demand. A significant slowdown in retailer demand for new stores could cause a corresponding reduction in our shopping center development program that would likely reduce our future rental revenues and profits from development sales; as well as, increase our operating expenses as a result of reducing our capitalized employee costs (See Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Capitalization of Costs described further below). However, based upon our current pipeline of development projects undergoing due diligence, which is our best indication of retailer expansion plans, the presence of our development teams in key markets in combination with their excellent relationships with leading anchor tenants, we believe that we will be able to sustain our development program at current averages in the foreseeable three to five year period.

  (a) For the Combined Properties including stores owned by grocery anchors that are attached to our centers.
  (b) GLA and annualized base rent include the Consolidated Properties plus Regency’s pro-rata share of the Unconsolidated Properties.

Although base rent is supported by long-term lease contracts, tenants who file bankruptcy are able to cancel their leases and close their related stores. In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases in our shopping centers files bankruptcy and cancels its leases, we could experience a significant reduction in our revenues. We continually monitor industry trends and sales data to help us identify declines in retail categories or tenants who might be experiencing financial difficulties. We continue to monitor the video rental industry while its operators transition to different rental formats including on-line rental programs. At December 31, 2006, we had leases with 137 video rental stores representing $9.8 million of annual rental income pertaining to Consolidated Properties and our pro rata share of the Unconsolidated Properties. We are not aware at this time of the current or pending bankruptcy of any of our tenants that would cause a significant reduction in our revenues, and no tenant represents more than 7% of the total of our annual base rental revenues and our pro-rata share of the base revenues of the Unconsolidated Properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect that cash generated from operating activities will provide the necessary funds to pay our operating expenses, interest expense, scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures necessary to maintain and improve our shopping centers, and dividends to stockholders. Net cash provided by operating activities was $216.8 million, $205.4 million and $181.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, we incurred capital expenditures of $14.0 million, $14.4 million and $11.7 million to improve our shopping centers, we paid scheduled principal payments of $4.5 million, $5.5 million and $5.7 million to our lenders on mortgage loans, and we paid dividends to our stockholders and unit holders of $185.2 million, $167.4 million and $154.8 million, respectively. The increase in dividends during 2006 was primarily related to a $200 million equity offering completed during 2005, as described below under Equity Capital Transactions, and an increase in our annual dividend rate of 8.2%.

We intend to continue to grow our portfolio by investing in shopping centers through ground up development of new centers or acquisition of existing centers. Because development and acquisition activities are discretionary in nature, they are not expected to burden the capital resources we have currently available for liquidity requirements. We expect to meet our long-term capital investment requirements for development and acquisitions, as well as, the redemption of preferred stock and the repayment of maturing debt from: (i) residual cash generated from operating activities after the payments described above, (ii) proceeds from the sale of real estate, (iii) joint venturing of real estate, (iv) refinancing of debt, and (v) equity raised in the capital markets.

At December 31, 2006, we had an unlimited amount under our shelf registration for equity securities based on the new Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and RCLP had $600 million available for debt under its shelf registration. We believe that our ability to access the capital markets as a source of funds to meet capital requirements is good.

At December 31, 2006 we had 47 properties under construction or undergoing major renovations on a Combined Basis, which when completed, will represent a net investment of $1.1 billion after projected sales of adjacent land and out-parcels. This compares to 31 projects that were under construction at the end of 2005 representing an investment of $735.1 million upon completion. We estimate that we will earn an average return on our investment on our current development projects of 7.9% on a fully allocated basis including direct internal costs and the cost to acquire any residual interests held by minority development partners. These average returns are approximately 110 basis points less than the projected yields on the developments that were under construction at the end of 2005, which is primarily the result of higher costs associated with the acquisition of land and construction. While the average return on investment has declined from historical levels, the Company believes that our development returns are sufficient on a risk adjusted basis. Costs necessary to complete the current development projects, net of projected land sales are estimated to be $532 million and will likely be expended through 2010. The costs to complete these developments will be funded from our $500 million line of credit, which had $379 million of available funding at December 31, 2006, and from expected proceeds from the future sale of shopping centers as part of the capital recycling program described above. In February 2007, we increased the commitment of our line of credit to $600 million with the ability to expand it to $750 million as discussed further below in Notes Payable.

On April 11, 2006, we acquired a 100% interest in a shopping center for a purchase price of $63.1 million which includes the assumption of $44.0 million in debt. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination purchase and the results of its operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. During 2006, we also acquired six shopping centers through our joint ventures for a combined purchase price of $159.3 million as further described below.

During 2006, we sold 100% of our interest in 11 properties for proceeds of $149.6 million, net of debt repayments and closing costs. The operating income and gains from these properties and properties classified as held for sale are included in discontinued operations. We also sold partial interests in six completed development properties to our joint ventures for $135.0 million, or $100 million net after excluding our ownership interests in the joint ventures. The details of the sales to joint ventures are further described below.

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships (Joint Ventures)

At December 31, 2006, we had investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships of $434.1 million. The following is a summary of unconsolidated combined assets and liabilities of these joint ventures and our pro-rata share (see note below) at December 31, 2006 and 2005 (dollars in thousands):

Pro rata financial information is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, management believes that providing such information is useful to investors in assessing the impact of its unconsolidated real estate partnership activities on the operations of Regency, which includes such items on a single line presentation under the equity method in its consolidated financial statements.

We account for all investments in which we own 50% or less and do not have a controlling financial interest using the equity method. We have determined that these investments are not variable interest entities, and therefore are subject to the voting interest model in determining our basis of accounting. Major decisions, including property acquisitions not meeting pre-established investment criteria, dispositions, financings, annual budgets and dissolution of the ventures are subject to the approval of all partners. Investments in real estate partnerships are primarily composed of joint ventures where we invest with three co-investment partners and a recently formed open-end real estate fund (“Regency Retail Partners”), as further described below. In addition to earning our pro-rata share of net income in each of these partnerships, we receive fees for asset management, property management, investment and financing services. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we received fees from these joint ventures of $30.8 million, $26.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively. Our investments in real estate partnerships as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 consist of the following (in thousands):

We co-invest with the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund in three joint ventures (collectively “Columbia”), in which we have ownership interests of 20% or 30%. As of December 31, 2006, Columbia owned 20 shopping centers, had total assets of $558.1 million, and net income of $11.6 million for the year ended. Our share of Columbia’s total assets and net income was $123.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Our share of Columbia represents 3.4% of our total assets and 1.2% of our net income available for common stockholders. During 2006 Columbia acquired four shopping centers from unrelated parties for $97.0 million. We contributed $9.6 million for our proportionate share of the purchase price, which was net of $36.4 million of assumed mortgage debt and $13.3 million of financing obtained by Columbia. Columbia did not acquire any properties in 2005 and sold two shopping centers to an unrelated party for $47.6 million at a gain of $8.9 million.

We co-invest with the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (“CalSTRS”) in a joint venture (“RegCal”) in which we have a 25% ownership interest. As of December 31, 2006, RegCal owned nine shopping centers, had total assets of $182.9 million, and had net income of $1.7 million for the year ended. Our share of RegCal’s total assets and net income was $45.7 million and $516,613, respectively. Our share of RegCal represents 1.2% of our total assets and less than 1% of our net income available for common stockholders, respectively. During 2006 RegCal acquired two shopping centers from unrelated parties for $37.3 million. We contributed $4.1 million for our proportionate share of the purchase price, which was net of financing obtained by RegCal. During 2005, RegCal acquired two shopping centers from an unrelated party for a purchase price of $20.0 million. The Company contributed $1.7 million for its proportionate share of the purchase price, which was net of loan financing assumed by RegCal.

We co-invest with Macquarie CountryWide Trust of Australia (“MCW”) in four joint ventures, two in which we have an ownership interest of 25% (“MCWR I”), and two in which we have an ownership interest of 24.95% (“MCWR II).

As of December 31, 2006, MCWR I owned 50 shopping centers, had total assets of $728.3 million, and net income of $18.2 million for the year ended. Our share of MCWR I’s total assets and net income was $181.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively. During 2006, MCWR I sold two shopping centers for $28.0 million to unrelated parties for a gain of $7.8 million, and acquired one shopping center from an unrelated party for a purchase price of $25.0 million. We contributed $748,466 for our proportionate share of the purchase price, which was net of $12.5 million of assumed mortgage debt and $10.4 million in 1031 proceeds. During 2005, MCWR I acquired one shopping center from an unrelated party for a purchase price of $24.4 million. The Company contributed $4.5 million for its proportionate share of the purchase price, which was net of loan financing placed on the shopping center by MCWR I. In addition, MCWR I acquired two properties from the Company valued at $31.9 million, for which the Company received cash of $25.7 million for MCW’s proportionate share. During 2005, MCWR I sold four shopping centers to unrelated parties for $34.7 million with a gain of $582,910.

On June 1, 2005, MCWR II closed on the acquisition of a retail shopping center portfolio (the “First Washington Portfolio”) for a purchase price of approximately $2.8 billion, including the assumption of approximately $68.6 million of mortgage debt and the issuance of approximately $1.6 billion of new mortgage loans on the properties acquired. The First Washington Portfolio acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination by MCWR II. At December 31, 2005, MCWR II was owned 64.95% by an affiliate of MCW, 34.95% by Regency and 0.1% by Macquarie-Regency Management, LLC (“US Manager”). US Manager is owned 50% by Regency and 50% by an affiliate of Macquarie Bank Limited. On January 13, 2006, we sold a portion of our investment in MCWR II to MCW for net cash of $113.2 million and reduced our ownership interest from 35% to 24.95%, and recorded a gain of $9.5 million on the partial sale of our interest. The proceeds from the sale were used to reduce our unsecured line of credit. At December 31, 2006, MCWR II is owned 75% by MCW’s affiliate, 24.90% by Regency and 0.1% by US Manager. Including our share of US Manager, our effective ownership is 24.95% and is reflected as such under the equity method in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2006, MCWR II owned 97 shopping centers, had total assets of $2.7 billion and a net loss of $24.7 million for the year ended. Our share of MCWR II’s total assets and net loss was $676.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively. As a result of the significant amount of depreciation and amortization expense being recorded by MCWR II in connection with the acquisition of the First Washington Portfolio, the joint venture may continue to report a net loss in future years, but is expected to produce positive cash flow from operations. During 2006, MCWR II sold eight shopping centers for $122.4 million to unrelated parties for a gain of $1.5 million. MCWR II acquired four shopping centers from us for a sales price of $62.4 million, or $46.8 million on a net basis after excluding our 24.95% ownership interest. During 2005, MCWR II sold one shopping center for $9.7 million to an unrelated party with a gain of $35,127.

Our investment in the four joint ventures with MCW totals $303.0 million and represents 8.3% of our total assets at December 31, 2006. Our pro-rata share of the assets and net loss of these ventures was $857.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively, which represents 23.4% and less than 1% of our total assets and net income available for common stockholders, respectively.

In December, 2006, we formed Regency Retail Partners (the “Fund”), an open-end, infinite-life investment fund in which we currently have an ownership interest of 26.8%. We expect to reduce our ownership interest to 20% during 2007 as other partners are admitted into the Fund. The Fund will have the exclusive right to acquire all future Regency-developed large format community centers upon stabilization that meet the Fund’s investment criteria. A community center is generally defined as a shopping center with at least 250,000 square feet of GLA including tenant-owned GLA.

As of December 31, 2006, the Fund owned two shopping centers, had total assets of $76.1 million and net income of $25,633 for the year ended. The Fund acquired two community shopping centers from us for a sales price of $72.6 million, or $53.1 million on a net basis after excluding our 26.8% ownership interest. Our share of the Fund’s total assets and net income was $20.4 million and $6,870, respectively. Our share of the Fund represents less than 1% of our total assets and net income available for common stockholders.

Recognition of gains from sales to joint ventures is recorded on only that portion of the sales not attributable to our ownership interest. The gains and operations are not recorded as discontinued operations because of our continuing involvement in these shopping centers. Columbia, RegCal, the joint ventures with MCW, and the Fund intend to continue to acquire retail shopping centers, some of which they may acquire directly from us. For those properties acquired from unrelated parties, we are required to contribute our pro-rata share of the purchase price to the partnerships.

Contractual Obligations

We have debt obligations related to our mortgage loans, unsecured notes, and our unsecured line of credit as described further below. We have shopping centers that are subject to non-cancelable long-term ground leases where a third party owns and has leased the underlying land to us to construct and/or operate a shopping center. In addition, we have non-cancelable operating leases pertaining to office space from which we conduct our business. The table excludes obligations for approximately $3.8 million related to environmental remediation as discussed below under Environmental Matters as the timing of the remediation is not currently known. The table also excludes obligations related to construction or development contracts because payments are only due upon the satisfactory performance under the contract. Costs necessary to complete the 47 development projects currently in process are estimated to be $532 million and will likely be expended through 2010. The following table summarizes our debt maturities including interest, (excluding recorded debt premiums that are not obligations), and obligations under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2006 including our pro-rata share of obligations within unconsolidated joint ventures (in thousands):

Mortgage loans are secured and may be prepaid, but could be subject to yield maintenance premiums. Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of interest and principal, and mature over various terms through 2017. Variable interest rates on mortgage loans are currently based on LIBOR, plus a spread in a range of 90 to 130 basis points. Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 5.22% to 8.95% and average 6.53%.

At December 31, 2006, we had an unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Line”) with an outstanding balance of $121 million. Contractual interest rates on the Line, which are based on LIBOR plus .75%, were 6.125% and 5.125% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The spread that we pay on the Line is dependent upon maintaining specific investment-grade ratings. We are also required to comply, and are in compliance, with certain financial covenants such as Minimum Net Worth, Total Liabilities to Gross Asset Value (“GAV”), Recourse Secured Debt to GAV, Fixed Charge Coverage and other covenants customary with this type of unsecured financing. The Line is used primarily to finance the development and acquisition of real estate, but is also available for general working-capital purposes.

In February, 2007, we entered into a new loan agreement under the Line which increased the commitment to $600 million with the right to increase the facility size to $750 million. The contractual interest rate will be reduced to LIBOR plus .55% based upon our current debt ratings and will have an initial term of 48 months followed by a 12 month extension option. The Line will continue to be subject to similar financial covenants and investment-grade ratings as exist currently.

As of December 31, 2006, scheduled principal repayments on notes payable and the Line were as follows (in thousands):

Our investments in real estate partnerships had notes and mortgage loans payable of $2.4 billion at December 31, 2006, which mature through 2028. Our proportionate share of these loans was $610.8 million, of which 94.7% had average fixed interest rates of 5.2% and the remaining had variable interest rates based on LIBOR plus a spread in a range of 90 to 125 basis points. The loans are primarily non-recourse, but for those that are guaranteed by a joint venture, our liability does not extend beyond our ownership percentage of the joint venture.

We are exposed to capital market risk such as changes in interest rates. In order to manage the volatility related to interest-rate risk, we originate new debt with fixed interest rates, or we may enter into interest-rate hedging arrangements. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We engage outside experts who evaluate and make recommendations about hedging strategies when appropriate. We account for derivative instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” as amended (“Statement 133”). On March 10, 2006, we entered into four forward-starting interest rate swaps totaling $396.7 million with fixed rates of 5.399%, 5.415%, 5.399% and 5.415%. The Company designated these swaps as cash flow hedges to fix the rate on $400 million of new financing expected to occur in 2010 and 2011 the proceeds of which will be used to repay maturing debt at that time. The change in fair value of these swaps from inception was a liability of $2.9 million at December 31, 2006, and is recorded in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss).

At December 31, 2006, 88.0% of our total debt had fixed interest rates, compared with 85.1% at December 31, 2005. We intend to limit the percentage of variable interest-rate debt to be no more than 30% of total debt, which we believe to be an acceptable risk. Currently, our variable rate debt represented 12.0% of our total debt. Based upon the variable interest-rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2006, if variable interest rates were to increase by 1%, our annual interest expense would increase by $1.9 million.

Equity Transactions

From time to time, we issue equity in the form of exchangeable operating partnership units or preferred units of RCLP, or in the form of common or preferred stock of Regency Centers Corporation. As previously discussed, these sources of long-term equity financing allow us to fund our growth while maintaining a conservative capital structure.

Preferred Units

We have issued Preferred Units in various amounts since 1998, the net proceeds of which were used to reduce the balance of the Line. We issue Preferred Units primarily to institutional investors in private placements. Generally, the Preferred Units may be exchanged by the holders for Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at an exchange rate of one share for one unit. The Preferred Units and the related Preferred Stock are not convertible into Regency common stock. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, only the Series D Preferred Units were outstanding with a face value of $50 million and a fixed distribution rate of 7.45%. These Units may be called by us in 2009, and have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption. Included in the Series D Preferred Units are original issuance costs of $842,023 that will be expensed if they are redeemed in the future.

Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2006 we had three series of Preferred stock outstanding, two of which underlie depositary shares held by the public. The depositary shares each represent 1/10th of a share of the underlying preferred stock and have a liquidation preference of $25 per depository share. In 2003, we issued 7.45% Series 3 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock underlying 3 million depositary shares. In 2004, we issued 7.25% Series 4 Cumulative Redeemable preferred stock underlying 5 million depositary shares. In 2005, we issued 3 million shares, or $75 million of 6.70% Series 5 Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $25 per share. All series of Preferred Stock are perpetual, are not convertible into common stock of the Company and are redeemable at par upon our election five years after the issuance date. The terms of the Preferred Stock do not contain any unconditional obligations that would require us to redeem the securities at any time or for any purpose.

Common Stock

On April 5, 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell 4,312,500 shares of common stock to an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) at $46.60 per share, in connection with a forward sale agreement (the “Forward Sale Agreement”). On August 1, 2005, we issued 3,782,500 shares to Citigroup for net proceeds of approximately $175.5 million and on September 7, 2005, the remaining 530,000 shares were issued for net proceeds of $24.4 million. The proceeds from these sales were used to reduce the unsecured line of credit and redeem the Series E and Series F Preferred Units.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Knowledge about our accounting policies is necessary for a complete understanding of our financial results, and discussion and analysis of these results. The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make certain estimates that impact the balance of assets and liabilities at a financial statement date and the reported amount of income and expenses during a financial reporting period. These accounting estimates are based upon, but not limited to, our judgments about historical results, current economic activity, and industry accounting standards. They are considered to be critical because of their significance to the financial statements and the possibility that future events may differ from those judgments, or that the use of different assumptions could result in materially different estimates. We review these estimates on a periodic basis to ensure reasonableness. However, the amounts we may ultimately realize could differ from such estimates.

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition and Tenant Receivables – Tenant receivables represent revenues recognized in our financial statements, and include base rent, percentage rent, and expense recoveries from tenants for common area maintenance costs, insurance and real estate taxes. We analyze tenant receivables, historical bad debt levels, customer credit worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, we analyze the accounts of tenants in bankruptcy, and we estimate the recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims. Our reported net income is directly affected by our estimate of the recoverability of tenant receivables.

Recognition of Gains from the Sales of Real Estate – We account for profit recognition on sales of real estate in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” Profits from sales of real estate will not be recognized by us unless (i) a sale has been consummated; (ii) the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; (iii) we have transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership; and (iv) we do not have significant continuing involvement with the property. Recognition of gains from sales to joint ventures is recorded on only that portion of the sales not attributable to our ownership interest.

Capitalization of Costs – We capitalize the acquisition of land, the construction of buildings and other specifically identifiable development costs incurred by recording them into “Properties in Development” on our consolidated balance sheets. Other development costs include pre-development costs essential to the development of the property, as well as, interest, real estate taxes, and direct employee costs incurred during the development period. Pre-development costs are incurred prior to land acquisition during the due diligence phase and include contract deposits, legal, engineering and other professional fees related to evaluating the feasibility of developing a shopping center. If we were to determine that the development of a specific project undergoing due diligence was no longer probable, we would immediately expense all related capitalized pre-development costs not considered recoverable. Interest costs are capitalized into each development project based on applying our weighted average borrowing rate to that portion of the actual development costs expended. We cease interest capitalization when the property is available for occupancy upon substantial completion of tenant improvements. We have a large staff of employees who support the due diligence, land acquisition, construction, leasing, financial analysis and accounting of our development program. All direct internal costs related to development activities are capitalized as part of each development project. If future accounting standards limit the amount of internal costs that may be capitalized, or if our development activity were to decline significantly without a proportionate decrease in internal costs, we could incur a significant increase in our operating expenses.

Real Estate Acquisitions – Upon acquisition of operating real estate properties, we estimate the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building and improvements), and identified intangible assets, liabilities (consisting of above- and below-market leases, in-place leases and tenant relationships) and assumed debt in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“Statement 141”). Based on these estimates, we allocate the purchase price to the applicable assets and liabilities. We utilize methods similar to those used by independent appraisers in estimating the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities. We evaluate the useful lives of amortizable intangible assets each reporting period and account for any changes in estimated useful lives over the revised remaining useful life.

Valuation of Real Estate Investments – Our long-lived assets, primarily real estate held for investment, are carried at cost unless circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate such an evaluation is warranted. The review involves a number of assumptions and estimates used to determine whether impairment exists. Depending on the asset, we use varying methods such as i) estimating future cash flows, ii) determining resale values by market, or iii) applying a capitalization rate to net operating income using prevailing rates in a given market. These methods of determining fair value can fluctuate significantly as a result of a number of factors, including changes in the general economy of those markets in which we operate, tenant credit quality and demand for new retail stores. If we determine that the carrying amount of a property is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value, we will write down the asset to fair value for “held-and-used” assets and to fair value less costs to sell for “held-for-sale” assets.

Table of Contents

Discontinued Operations – The application of current accounting principles that govern the classification of any of our properties as held-for-sale on the balance sheet, or the presentation of results of operations and gains on the sale of these properties as discontinued, requires management to make certain significant judgments. In evaluating whether a property meets the criteria set forth by SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“Statement 144”), the Company makes a determination as to the point in time that it can be reasonably certain that a sale will be consummated. Given the nature of all real estate sales contracts, it is not unusual for such contracts to allow potential buyers a period of time to evaluate the property prior to formal acceptance of the contract. In addition, certain other matters critical to the final sale, such as financing arrangements often remain pending even upon contract acceptance. As a result, properties under contract may not close within the expected time period, or may not close at all. Due to these uncertainties, it is not likely that the Company can meet the criteria of Statement 144 prior to the sale formally closing. Therefore, any properties categorized as held for sale represent only those properties that management has determined are likely to close within the requirements set forth in Statement 144. The Company also makes judgments regarding the extent of involvement it will have with a property subsequent to its sale, in order to determine if the results of operations and gain on sale should be reflected as discontinued. Consistent with Statement 144, any property sold to an entity in which the Company has significant continuing involvement (most often joint ventures) is not considered to be discontinued. In addition, any property which the Company sells to an unrelated third party, but retains a property or asset management function, is also not considered discontinued. Therefore, only properties sold, or to be sold, to unrelated third parties that the Company, in its judgment, has no significant continuing involvement with are classified as discontinued.

Investments in Real Estate Joint Ventures – In addition to owning real estate directly, we invest in real estate through our co-investment joint ventures. Joint venturing provides us with a capital source to acquire real estate, and to earn our pro-rata share of the net income from the joint ventures in addition to fees for services. As asset and property manager, we conduct the business of the Unconsolidated Properties held in the joint ventures in the same way that we conduct the business of the Consolidated Properties that are wholly-owned; therefore, the Critical Accounting Policies as described are also applicable to our investments in the joint ventures. We account for all investments in which we own 50% or less and do not have a controlling financial interest using the equity method. We have determined that these investments are not variable interest entities as defined in the FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” and do not require consolidation under EITF Issue No. 04-5 “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights”, and therefore, are subject to the voting interest model in determining our basis of accounting. Major decisions, including property acquisitions and dispositions, financings, annual budgets and dissolution of the ventures are subject to the approval of all partners, or in the case of The Fund, its advisory committee.

Income Tax Status – The prevailing assumption underlying the operation of our business is that we will continue to operate in order to qualify as a REIT, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code. We are required to meet certain income and asset tests on a periodic basis to ensure that we continue to qualify as a REIT. As a REIT, we are allowed to reduce taxable income by all or a portion of our distributions to stockholders. We evaluate the transactions that we enter into and determine their impact on our REIT status. Determining our taxable income, calculating distributions, and evaluating transactions requires us to make certain judgments and estimates as to the positions we take in our interpretation of the Internal Revenue Code. Because many types of transactions are susceptible to varying interpretations under federal and state income tax laws and regulations, our positions are subject to change at a later date upon final determination by the taxing authorities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the SEC’s staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” This Bulletin requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. The guidance in this Bulletin must be applied to financial reports covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material affect on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies to accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, except for share-based payments transactions under FASB Statement No. 123(R). This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As Statement No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements or remeasurements of previously computed fair values, we do not believe adoption of this Statement will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Under FIN 48, tax positions shall initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions shall initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. We will adopt this Interpretation in the first quarter of 2007. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying this Interpretation will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We have begun the process of evaluating the expected effect of FIN 48 and the adoption is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2006, the FASB issued FSP FIN 46(R)-6, “Determining the Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”, that became effective beginning in the third quarter of 2006. FSP FIN No. 46(R)-6 clarifies that the variability to be considered in applying Interpretation 46(R) shall be based on an analysis of the design of the variable interest entity. The adoption of this FSP has not had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2005, the FASB Issued Staff Position No. FAS 13-1 “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period”. This FSP requires that rental costs associated with ground or building operating leases incurred during a construction period be recognized as rental expense. However, FSP No. FAS 13-1 does not address lessees that account for the sale or rental of real estate projects under FASB Statement No. 67 “Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects”, and therefore we will continue to apply FASB Statement No. 67.

Results from Operations

Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2006 to 2005

At December 31, 2006, on a Combined Basis, we were operating or developing 405 shopping centers, as compared to 393 shopping centers at the end of 2005. We identify our shopping centers as either development properties or operating properties. Development properties are defined as properties that are in the construction or initial lease-up process and have not reached their initial full occupancy (reaching full occupancy generally means achieving at least 93% leased and rent paying on newly constructed or renovated GLA). At December 31, 2006, on a Combined Basis, we were developing 47 properties, as compared to 31 properties at the end of 2005.

Our revenues increased by $39.7 million, or 10%, to $420.3 million in 2006 as summarized in the following table (in thousands):

Total revenues

   $ 420,338    380,636     39,702
                 

The increase in revenues was primarily related to higher minimum rent from growth in rental rates from renewing expiring leases or re-leasing vacant space in the operating properties, and from new minimum rent generated from recently completed developments commencing operations in the current year. In addition to collecting minimum rent from our tenants, we also collect percentage rent based upon their sales volumes. Recoveries from tenants represents reimbursements from tenants for their pro-rata share of the operating, maintenance and real estate tax expenses that we incur to operate our shopping centers.

Property management fees increased in 2006 as a result of managing the First Washington Portfolio for MCWR II, which was acquired on June 1, 2005. This also resulted in higher leasing commissions earned during 2006. Investing and financing fees are transaction based and not necessarily recurring. The fees earned in 2005 related to the initial acquisition of the First Washington Portfolio by MCWR II. During 2006, we earned additional fees from MCWR II for achieving certain income performance results related to the First Washington Portfolio although lower than the amount earned in 2005.

The increase was primarily a result of MCWR II earning revenues for a full year from the First Washington Portfolio as compared to seven months during 2005 and incurring lower amortization expense in the First Washington Portfolio during 2006. MCWR I recorded higher gains in 2006 from the sale of real estate as compared to 2005.

Our operating expenses increased by $35.0 million, or 17%, to $240.5 million in 2006 related to increased operating and maintenance costs, general and administrative costs and depreciation expense, as further described below. The following table summarizes our operating expenses (in thousands):

 

     2006    2005    Change

Operating, maintenance and real estate taxes

   $ 94,405    88,062    6,343

General and administrative

Total operating expenses

   $ 240,521    205,560    34,961
                

The increase in operating, maintenance, and real estate taxes was primarily due to shopping center developments that were recently completed and did not incur operating expenses for a full 12 months during the previous year, and to general price increases incurred by the operating properties. On average, approximately 80% of these costs are recovered from our tenants as expense reimbursements and included in our revenues.

The increase in general and administrative expense is related to additional salary costs for new employees hired to manage the First Washington Portfolio under a property management agreement with MCWR II as well as staffing increases related to increases in our shopping center development program.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily related to new development properties recently completed and placed in service in the current year, or if placed in service in the previous year, were not operational for a full 12 months.

The increase in other expenses pertains to an increase in the income tax provision of Regency Realty Group, Inc. (“RRG”), our taxable REIT subsidiary, from $493,709 in 2005 to $11.8 million in 2006. RRG is subject to federal and state income taxes and files separate tax returns. RCLP also incurred intangible taxes of $1.8 million in 2006 as compared to $352,416 in 2005.

Our interest expense, net of interest capitalization decreased $6.8 million to $79.7 million in 2006 from

 

48


Table of Contents

$86.5 million in 2005. This decrease is attributable to a higher level of interest incurred that is directly related to the construction of new shopping centers and therefore capitalized into properties under development. During 2006, we capitalized interest of $24.0 million as compared to $12.4 million in 2005. The average balance of development in process was $553 million in 2006 as compared to $390 million in 2005. Average interest rates on our outstanding debt increased to 6.45% at December 31, 2006 compared to 6.34% at December 31, 2005. Our weighted average outstanding debt at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $1.6 billion.

Gains from the sale of real estate were $65.6 million in 2006 as compared to $19.0 million in 2005. 2006 includes $20.2 million from the sale of 30 out-parcels for net proceeds of $53.5 million, $35.9 million from the sale of six shopping centers to joint ventures for net proceeds of $122.7 million; and a $9.5 million gain related to the partial sale of our interest in MCWR II as discussed previously. 2005 includes $8.7 million in gains from the sale of 26 out-parcels for net proceeds of $29.0 million and $10.3 million in gains related to the sale of three development properties and one operating property. These gains are included in continuing operations rather than discontinued operations because they were either properties that had no operating income, or they were properties sold to joint ventures where we have continuing involvement through our equity investment.

We review our real estate portfolio for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of an asset. We determine whether impairment has occurred by comparing the property’s carrying value to an estimate of fair value based upon methods described in our Critical Accounting Policies. In the event a property is impaired, we write down the asset to fair value for “held-and-used” assets and to fair value less costs to sell for “held-for- sale” assets. During 2006 and 2005 we established provisions for loss of $500,000 and $550,000 respectively, to adjust operating properties to their estimated fair values.

Income from discontinued operations was $63.4 million in 2006 related to eight operating and three development properties sold to unrelated parties for net proceeds of $149.6 million. Income from discontinued operations was $65.5 million in 2005 related to nine operating and five development properties sold to unrelated parties for net proceeds of $175.2 million and to the operations of shopping centers sold or classified as held-for-sale in 2006 and 2005. In compliance with Statement 144, if we sell an asset in the current year, we are required to reclassify its operating income into discontinued operations for all prior periods. This practice results in a reclassification of amounts previously reported as continuing operations into discontinued operations. Our income from discontinued operations is shown net of minority interest of exchangeable operating partnership units totaling $881,971 and $1.3 million, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and income taxes totaling $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Minority interest of preferred units declined $4.4 million to $3.7 million in 2006 as a result of redeeming $125 million of preferred units in 2005. Preferred stock dividends increased $2.9 million to $19.7 million in 2006 as a result of the issuance of $75 million of preferred stock in 2005.

Net income for common stockholders increased $52.9 million to $198.8 million in 2006 as compared with $145.9 million in 2005 primarily related to increases in revenues described above and higher gains recognized from sale of real estate. Diluted earnings per share was $2.89 in 2006 as compared to $2.23 in 2005 or 30% higher.

Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2005 to 2004

At December 31, 2005, on a Combined Basis, we were operating or developing 393 shopping centers, as compared to 291 shopping centers at the end of 2004. At December 31, 2005, on a Combined Basis, we were developing 31 properties, as compared to 34 properties at the end of 2004.

The increase in revenues was primarily related to higher minimum rent from growth in rental rates from renewing expiring leases or re-leasing vacant space in the operating properties, and from new minimum rent generated from recently completed developments commencing operations in the current year. In addition to collecting minimum rent from our tenants, we also collect percentage rent based upon their sales volumes. During 2005, increased tenant sales volumes resulted in a 17% increase in our percentage rent. Recoveries from tenants represents reimbursements from tenants for their pro-rata share of the operating, maintenance and real estate tax expenses that we incur to operate our shopping centers.

As a result of MCWR II acquiring the First Washington Portfolio on June 1, 2005, we recorded $13.8 million in fees related to investment and financing services that we provided to MCWR II. MCWR II paid us approximately $21.2 million for these services, however, the amount recognized as fee income includes only that portion of fees paid by the venture not owned by us. We managed the First Washington Portfolio for a period of seven months during 2005 and received property management fees from MCWR II, which accounted for the majority of the increase in property management fees above 2004. We also received higher property management and asset management fees from our other joint ventures during 2005 related to acquisitions that they completed during 2004 and 2005.

The loss was a result of the significant amount of depreciation and amortization expense recorded by MCWR II related to its acquisition of the First Washington Portfolio on June 1, 2005. Excluding the depreciation and amortization, MCWR II produced positive cash flow from operations during the period.

Our operating expenses increased by $10.1 million, or 5%, to $205.6 million in 2005 related to increased operating and maintenance costs, general and administrative costs and depreciation expense, as further described below. The following table summarizes our operating expenses (in thousands):

Operating, maintenance and real estate taxes

Total operating expenses

   $ 205,560    195,434    10,126  
                  

The increase in operating, maintenance, and real estate taxes was primarily due to shopping center developments that were recently completed and did not incur operating expenses for a full 12 months during the previous year, and to general price increases incurred by the operating properties. On average, approximately 80% of these costs are recovered from our tenants as expense reimbursements and included in our revenues.

The increase in general and administrative expense is related to additional salary costs for new employees necessary to manage the First Washington Portfolio under a property management agreement with MCWR II and higher stock based compensation expenses associated with the early adoption of Statement 123(R), which requires the expensing of stock options. During 2005, we recorded compensation expense associated with stock options of $1.4 million.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily related to new development properties recently completed and placed in service in the current year, or if placed in service in the previous year, were not operational for a full 12 months.

The reduction in other expenses pertains to a decline in the income tax provision of RRG from $6.5 million in 2004 to $493,709 in 2005.

Our interest expense, net of interest capitalization, increased $6.8 million to $86.5 million in 2005

Table of Contents

from $79.7 million in 2004 primarily related to the financing of our investment in MCWR II. During 2005, we capitalized interest of $12.4 million as compared to $11.2 million in 2004. Interest incurred that is directly related to the construction of new shopping centers is capitalized into properties under development. On June 1, 2005 we borrowed $275 million on the Bridge Loan and $122 million on the Line to fund our investment. During July and August, we repaid the Bridge Loan and reduced the Line using a portion of the proceeds from the $200 million Forward Sale Agreement, a $75 million preferred stock offering and the issuance of $350 million of 5.48% fixed rate debt. Average interest rates on our outstanding debt increased to 6.34% at December 31, 2005 compared to 6.24% at December 31, 2004. Our weighted average outstanding debt at December 31, 2005 was $1.6 billion compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2004.

Gains from the sale of operating properties and properties in development were $19.0 million in 2005 as compared to $39.4 million in 2004. Included in 2005 are gains of $8.7 million from the sale of 26 out-parcels for net proceeds of $29.0 million and gains of $10.3 million related to the sale of three development properties and one operating property. Included in 2004 are gains of $18.9 million from the sale of 41 out-parcels for net proceeds of $60.4 million and gains of $20.5 million from shopping centers sold. These gains are included in continuing operations rather than discontinued operations because they were either properties that had no operating income, or they were properties sold to joint ventures where we have continuing involvement through our equity investment.

We review our real estate portfolio for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of an asset. We determine whether impairment has occurred by comparing the property’s carrying value to an estimate of fair value based upon methods described in our Critical Accounting Policies. In the event a property is impaired, we write down the asset to fair value for “held-and-used” assets and to fair value less costs to sell for “held-for- sale” assets. During 2005 and 2004 we established provisions for loss of $550,000 and $810,000 respectively, to adjust operating properties to their estimated fair values. The provision for loss on properties subsequently sold to third parties is included in operating income from discontinued operations.

Income from discontinued operations was $65.5 million in 2005 related to 14 properties sold to unrelated parties for net proceeds of $175.2 million and four properties classified as held-for-sale. Income from discontinued operations was $36.9 million in 2004 related to the operations of shopping centers sold or classified as held-for-sale in 2005 and 2004. In compliance with Statement 144, if we sell an asset in the current year, we are required to reclassify its operating income into discontinued operations for all prior periods. This practice results in a reclassification of amounts previously reported as continuing operations into discontinued operations. Our income from discontinued operations is shown net of minority interest of exchangeable partnership units totaling $1.3 million and $699,059, and income taxes totaling $3.6 million and $2.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Minority interest of preferred units declined $11.7 million to $8.1 million in 2005 as a result of redeeming $54 million of preferred units in 2005 and redeeming $125 million of preferred units in 2004. Preferred stock dividends increased $8.1 million to $16.7 million in 2005 as a result of the issuance of $75 million of preferred stock in 2005 and $125 million of preferred stock in 2004.

Net income for common stockholders increased $18.2 million to $145.9 million in 2005 as compared with $127.7 million in 2004. Diluted earnings per share were $2.23 in 2005, compared with $2.08 in 2004, or 7% higher, a result of the increase in net income.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to our shopping centers pertaining to chemicals used by the dry cleaning industry, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and underground petroleum storage tanks (UST’s). We believe that the tenants who currently operate dry cleaning plants or gas stations do so in accordance with current laws and

 

52


Table of Contents

regulations. Generally, we use all legal means to cause tenants to remove dry cleaning plants from our shopping centers or convert them to non-chlorinated solvent systems. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state-sponsored environmental programs. We have a blanket environmental insurance policy that covers us against third-party liabilities and remediation costs on shopping centers that currently have no known environmental contamination. We have also placed environmental insurance, where possible, on specific properties with known contamination, in order to mitigate our environmental risk. We monitor the shopping centers containing environmental issues and in certain cases voluntarily remediate the sites. We also have legal obligations to remediate certain sites and we are in the process of doing so. We estimate the cost associated with these legal obligations to be approximately $3.8 million, all of which has been reserved. We believe that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material affect on our financial position, liquidity, or operations; however, we can give no assurance that existing environmental studies with respect to our shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental liabilities; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to us; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; or that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to us.

Inflation

Inflation has remained relatively low and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers; however, substantially all of our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rent based on tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise; and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indices. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. Most of our leases require tenants to pay their pro-rata share of operating expenses, including common-area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk

We are exposed to interest-rate changes primarily related to the variable interest rate on the Line and the refinancing of long-term debt, which currently contain fixed interest rates. The objective of our interest-rate risk management is to limit the impact of interest-rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed interest rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest-rate swaps, caps or treasury locks in order to mitigate our interest-rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do not enter into derivative or interest-rate transactions for speculative purposes.

Our interest-rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal cash flows (in thousands), weighted average interest rates of remaining debt, and the fair value of total debt (in thousands) as of December 31, 2006, by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest-rate changes.

We currently have $434.7 million of fixed rate debt maturing in 2010 and 2011. On March 10, 2006, the Company entered into four forward-starting interest rate swaps totaling $396.7 million with fixed rates of 5.399%, 5.415%, 5.399% and 5.415%. The Company designated these swaps as cash flow hedges to fix $400 million of fixed rate financing expected to occur in 2010 and 2011, the proceeds of which will be used to repay debt maturing in those years. The change in fair value of these swaps from inception has generated a liability of $2.9 million at December 31, 2006, which is recorded in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As the table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of December 31, 2006, it does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. Moreover, because firm commitments are not presented in the table above, the information presented above has limited predictive value. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest-rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at that time, and actual interest rates.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer, chief operating officer and our chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2006 and that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2006.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as stated in their report which is included herein.

Regency’s system of internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All internal control systems, no mater how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Stockholders and Board of Directors

Regency Centers Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Regency Centers Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement schedule III. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Regency Centers Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Regency Centers Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated, February 27, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Regency Centers Corporation:

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Regency Centers Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Regency Centers Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Regency Centers Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, Regency Centers Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Regency Centers Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2006

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a) Organization and Principles of Consolidation

General

Regency Centers Corporation (“Regency” or the “Company”) began its operations as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) in 1993, and is the managing general partner of its operating partnership, Regency Centers, L.P. (“RCLP” or the “Partnership”). Regency currently owns approximately 99% of the outstanding common partnership units (“Units”) of the Partnership. Regency engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, and development of retail shopping centers through the Partnership, and has no other assets or liabilities other than through its investment in the Partnership. At December 31, 2006, the Partnership directly owned 218 retail shopping centers and held partial interests in an additional 187 retail shopping centers through investments in joint ventures.

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures in which the Partnership has a majority ownership or controlling interest. The equity interests of third parties held in the Partnership or its majority owned joint ventures are included in the consolidated financial statements as preferred units, exchangeable operating partnership units or limited partners’ interest in consolidated partnerships. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Investments in joint ventures not controlled by the Company (“Unconsolidated Joint Ventures”) are accounted for under the equity method. The Company has evaluated its investment in the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and has concluded that they are not variable interest entities as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46(R) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”). The venture partners in the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures have significant ownership rights, including approval over operating budgets and strategic plans, capital spending, sale or financing, and admission of new partners; therefore, the Company has concluded that the equity method of accounting is appropriate for these interests which do not require consolidation under EITF Issue No. 04-5 “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights”. Under the equity method of accounting, investments in the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently increased for additional contributions and allocations of income and reduced for distributions received and allocation of losses. These investments are included in the consolidated financial statements as Investments in real estate partnerships.

Ownership of the Company

Regency has a single class of common stock outstanding and three series of preferred stock outstanding (Series 3, 4, and 5 Preferred Stock). The dividends on the Series 3, 4, and 5 Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter. The Company owns corresponding Series 3, 4, and 5 preferred unit interests (“Series 3, 4, and 5 Preferred Units”) in the Partnership that entitle the Company to income and distributions from the Partnership in amounts equal to the dividends paid on the Company’s Series 3, 4, and 5 Preferred Stock.

  (a) Organization and Principles of Consolidation (continued)

Ownership of the Operating Partnership

The Partnership’s capital includes general and limited common partnership Units, Series 3, 4, and 5 Preferred Units owned by the Company, and Series D Preferred Units owned by institutional investors.

At December 31, 2006, the Company owned approximately 99% or 69,017,995 Partnership Units of the total 69,758,821 Partnership Units outstanding. Each outstanding common Partnership Unit not owned by the Company is exchangeable for one share of Regency common stock. The Company revalues the minority interest associated with the Units each quarter to maintain a proportional relationship between the book value of equity associated with common stockholders relative to that of the Unit holders since both have equivalent rights and Units are convertible into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Net income and distributions of the Partnership are allocable first to the Preferred Units, and the remaining amounts to the general and limited partners’ Units in accordance with their ownership percentage. The Series 3, 4, and 5 Preferred Units owned by the Company are eliminated in consolidation.

 

  (b) Revenues

The Company leases space to tenants under agreements with varying terms. Leases are accounted for as operating leases with minimum rent recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease regardless of when payments are due. Accrued rents are included in tenant receivables. As part of the leasing process, the Company may provide the lessee with an allowance for the construction of leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are capitalized as part of the building and recorded as tenant improvements and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the lease term. If the allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements, the allowance is considered to be a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue. Factors considered during this evaluation include, among others, who holds legal title to the improvements, and other controlling rights provided by the lease agreement (e.g. unilateral control of the tenant space during the build-out process). Determination of the appropriate accounting for a tenant allowance is made on a case-by-case basis, considering the facts and circumstances of the individual tenant lease. Lease revenue recognition commences when the lessee is given possession of the leased space upon completion of tenant improvements when the Company is the owner of the leasehold improvements; however, when the leasehold improvements are owned by the tenant, the lease inception date is when the tenant obtains possession of the leased space for purposes of constructing its leasehold improvements.

  (b) Revenues (continued)

Substantially all of the lease agreements contain provisions that provide for additional rents based on tenants’ sales volume (percentage rent) and reimbursement of the tenants’ share of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance (“CAM”) costs.

Percentage rents are recognized when the tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements. Recovery of real estate taxes, insurance and CAM costs are recognized as the respective costs are incurred in accordance with the lease agreements.

The Company accounts for profit recognition on sales of real estate in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Statement No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” In summary, profits from sales will not be recognized by the Company unless a sale has been consummated; the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; the Company’s receivable, if applicable, is not subject to future subordination; the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership; and the Company does not have substantial continuing involvement with the property.

The Company has been engaged by joint ventures under agreements to provide asset management, property management; and leasing, investing and financing services for such ventures’ shopping centers. The fees are market based and generally calculated as a percentage of either revenues earned or the estimated values of the properties managed, and are recognized as services are rendered, when fees due are determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

  (c) Real Estate Investments

Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost. All specifically identifiable costs related to development activities are capitalized into properties in development on the consolidated balance sheets. The capitalized costs include pre-development costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, and direct employee costs incurred during the period of development.

The Company incurs costs prior to land acquisition including contract deposits, as well as legal, engineering and other external professional fees related to evaluating the feasibility of developing a shopping center. These pre-development costs are included in properties in development. If the Company determines that the development of a particular shopping center is no longer probable, any related pre-development costs previously incurred are immediately expensed. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had capitalized pre-development costs of $23.3 million and $12.2 million, respectively of which $10.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively were refundable deposits.

The Company’s method of capitalizing interest is based upon applying its weighted average borrowing rate to that portion of the actual development costs expended. The Company ceases cost capitalization when the property is available for occupancy upon substantial completion of tenant improvements. In no event would the Company capitalize interest on the project beyond 12 months after substantial completion of the building shell.

  (c) Real Estate Investments (continued)

Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the respective assets are recorded in operating and maintenance expense.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings and improvements, term of lease for tenant improvements, and three to seven years for furniture and equipment.

The Company and the unconsolidated joint ventures allocate the purchase price of assets acquired (net tangible and identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“Statement 141”). Statement 141 provides guidance on allocating a portion of the purchase price of a property to intangible assets. The Company’s methodology for this allocation includes estimating an “as-if vacant” fair value of the physical property, which is allocated to land, building and improvements. The difference between the purchase price and the “as-if vacant” fair value is allocated to intangible assets. There are three categories of intangible assets to be considered: (i) value of in-place leases, (ii) above and below-market value of in-place leases and (iii) customer relationship value.

The value of in-place leases is estimated based on the value associated with the costs avoided in originating leases compared to the acquired in-place leases as well as the value associated with lost rental and recovery revenue during the assumed lease-up period. The value of in-place leases is recorded to amortization expense over the remaining initial term of the respective leases.

Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the comparable in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The value of above-market leases is amortized as a reduction of minimum rent over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of below-market leases is accreted as an increase to minimum rent over the remaining terms of the respective leases, including renewal options.

The Company allocates no value to customer relationship intangibles if it has pre-existing business relationships with the major retailers in the acquired property since they provide no incremental value over the Company’s existing relationships.

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“Statement 144”). In accordance with Statement 144, the Company classifies an operating property as held-for-sale when it determines that the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, the property is being actively marketed for sale and management is reasonably certain that a sale will be consummated. Operating properties held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period. The operations of properties held-for-sale are reclassified into discontinued operations for all periods presented.

  (c) Real Estate Investments (continued)

In accordance with Statement 144, when the Company sells a property and will not have continuing involvement or significant cash flows after disposition, the operations and cash flows of the property are eliminated and its operations and gain on sale are reported in discontinued operations so that the operations and cash flows are clearly distinguished. Once classified in discontinued operations, these properties are eliminated from ongoing operations. Prior periods are also represented to reflect the operations of these properties as discontinued operations. When the Company sells operating properties to its joint ventures or to third parties, and it will have continuing involvement, the operations and gains on sales are included in income from continuing operations.

The Company reviews its real estate portfolio for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable based upon expected undiscounted cash flows from the property. The Company determines impairment by comparing the property’s carrying value to an estimate of fair value based upon varying methods such as i) estimating future cash flows, ii) determining resale values by market, or iii) applying a capitalization rate to net operating income using prevailing rates in a given market. These methods of determining fair value can fluctuate significantly as a result of a number of factors, including changes in the general economy of those markets in which the Company operates, tenant credit quality and demand for new retail stores. In the event that the carrying amount of a property is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value, the Company will write down the asset to fair value for “held-and-used” assets and to fair value less costs to sell for “held-for-sale” assets. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company established a provision for loss of $500,000, $550,000 and $810,000 based upon the criteria described above. The provision for loss on properties subsequently sold to third parties is included in operating income from discontinued operations.

 

  (d) Income Taxes

The Company believes it qualifies, and intends to continue to qualify, as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). As a REIT, the Company will generally not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to its stockholders are at least equal to REIT taxable income.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to stockholders, differs from net income reported for financial reporting purposes primarily because of differences in depreciable lives and cost bases of the shopping centers, as well as other timing differences.

  (d) Income Taxes (continued)

The net book basis of real estate assets exceeds the tax basis by approximately $158.4 million and $161.9 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, primarily due to the difference between the cost basis of the assets acquired and their carryover basis recorded for tax purposes.

The following summarizes the tax status of dividends paid during the respective years:

 

     2006     2005     2004  

Dividend per share

   $ 2.38     2.20     2.12

Regency Realty Group, Inc. (“RRG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RCLP, is a Taxable REIT Subsidiary as defined in Section 856(l) of the Code. RRG is subject to federal and state income taxes and files separate tax returns. Income tax expense consists of the following for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

 

     2006    2005     2004

  (d) Income Taxes (continued)

Income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 35% to pretax income for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively and 34% for the year ended December 31, 2004 as follows (in thousands):

 

     2006    2005    2004

Total income tax expense

   $ 11,772    4,089    8,752
                

All other items principally represent the tax effect of gains associated with the sale of properties to unconsolidated ventures.

RRG had net deferred tax assets of $9.7 million and $11.2 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The majority of the deferred tax assets relate to deferred interest expense and tax costs capitalized on projects under development. No valuation allowance was provided and the Company believes it is more likely than not that the future benefits associated with these deferred tax assets will be realized.

 

  (e) Deferred Costs

Deferred costs include leasing costs and loan costs, net of accumulated amortization. Such costs are amortized over the periods through lease expiration or loan maturity, respectively. Deferred leasing costs consist of internal and external commissions associated with leasing the Company’s shopping centers. Net deferred leasing costs were $33.3 million and $30.6 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Deferred loan costs consist of initial direct and incremental costs associated with financing activities. Net deferred loan costs were $7.7 million and $11.1 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

  (f) Earnings per Share and Treasury Stock

Basic net income per share of common stock is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share also includes common share equivalents for stock options, restricted stock and exchangeable operating partnership units, if dilutive. See note 11 for the calculation of earnings per share (“EPS”).

Repurchases of the Company’s common stock are recorded at cost and are reflected as Treasury stock in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss). Outstanding shares do not include treasury shares.

  (g) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Any instruments which have an original maturity of 90 days or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents. Cash distributions of normal operating earnings from investments in real estate partnerships are included in cash flows from operations in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash distributions from the sale or loan proceeds from the placement of debt on a property included in investments in real estate partnerships is included in cash flows from investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

  (h) Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  (i) Stock-Based Compensation

Regency grants stock-based compensation to its employees and directors. When Regency issues common shares as compensation, it receives a comparable number of common units from the Partnership including stock options. Regency is committed to contribute to the Partnership all proceeds from the exercise of stock options or other stock-based awards granted under Regency’s Long-Term Omnibus Plan. Accordingly, Regency’s ownership in the Partnership will increase based on the amount of proceeds contributed to the Partnership for the common units it receives. As a result of the issuance of common units to Regency for stock-based compensation, the Partnership accounts for stock-based compensation in the same manner as Regency.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” (“Statement 123(R)”), which is an amendment of SFAS No. 123. Statement 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“Opinion 25”). Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values and pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company elected early adoption of Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2005, even though it was not effective until January 1, 2006. As permitted by Statement 123(R), the Company applied the “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. See Note 10 for further discussion.

  (j) Segment Reporting

The Company’s business is investing in retail shopping centers through direct ownership or through joint ventures. The Company actively manages its portfolio of retail shopping centers and may from time to time make decisions to sell lower performing properties or developments not meeting its long-term investment objectives. The proceeds from sales are reinvested into higher quality retail shopping centers through acquisitions or new developments, which management believes will meet its planned rate of return. It is management’s intent that all retail shopping centers will be owned or developed for investment purposes; however, the Company may decide to sell all or a portion of a development upon completion. The Company’s revenue and net income are generated from the operation of its investment portfolio. The Company also earns fees from third parties for services provided to manage and lease retail shopping centers owned through joint ventures.

The Company’s portfolio is located throughout the United States; however, management does not distinguish or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or measuring performance. The Company reviews operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis, therefore, the Company defines an operating segment as its individual properties. No individual property constitutes more than 10% of the Company’s combined revenue, net income or assets, and thus the individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to both the nature and economics of the centers, tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term average financial performance. In addition, no single tenant accounts for 7% or more of revenue and none of the shopping centers are located outside the United States.

 

  (k) Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“Statement 133”) as amended by SFAS No. 149. Statement 133 requires that all derivative instruments, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The Company’s use of derivative financial instruments is normally to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or forecasted transaction through the use of interest rate swaps. The Company designates these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges.

Statement 133 requires that changes in fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges be recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) while the ineffective portion of the derivative’s change in fair value be recognized in the income statement as interest expense. Upon the settlement of a hedge, gains and losses associated with the transaction are recorded in OCI and amortized over the underlying term of the hedge transaction. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged items.

  (k) Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

In assessing the hedge, the Company uses standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models and termination costs at each balance sheet date. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized. See Note 8 for further discussion.

 

  (l) Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity” (“Statement 150”). Statement 150 affects the accounting for certain financial instruments, which requires companies having consolidated entities with specified termination dates to treat minority owners’ interests in such entities as liabilities in an amount based on the fair value of the entities. Although Statement 150 was originally effective July 1, 2003, the FASB has indefinitely deferred certain provisions related to classification and measurement requirements for mandatory redeemable financial instruments that become subject to Statement 150 solely as a result of consolidation, including minority interests of entities with specified termination dates.

At December 31, 2006, the Company held a majority interest in two consolidated entities with specified termination dates of 2017 and 2049. The minority owners’ interests in these entities will be settled upon termination by distribution or transfer of either cash or specific assets of the underlying entities. The estimated fair value of minority interests in entities with specified termination dates was approximately $8.3 million at December 31, 2006. The related carrying value is $1.3 million and $1.1 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively which is included within limited partners’ interest in consolidated partnerships in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company has no other financial instruments that are affected by Statement 150.

 

  (m) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” This Bulletin requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. The guidance in this Bulletin must be applied to financial reports covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material affect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies to accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, except for share-based payments transactions under FASB Statement No. 123(R). This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As Statement No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements or remeasurements of previously computed fair values, the Company does not believe adoption of this Statement will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

(m) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Under FIN 48, tax positions shall initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions shall initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. The Company will adopt this Interpretation in the first quarter of 2007. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying this Interpretation will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company has begun the process of evaluating the expected effect of FIN 48 and the adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2006, the FASB issued FSP FIN 46(R)-6, “Determining the Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”, which became effective in the third quarter of 2006. FSP FIN No. 46(R)-6 clarifies that the variability to be considered in applying Interpretation 46(R) shall be based on an analysis of the design of the variable interest entity. The adoption of this FSP did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2005, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 13-1 “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period”. This FSP requires that rental costs associated with ground or building operating leases incurred during a construction period be recognized as rental expense. However, FSP No. FAS 13-1 does not address lessees that account for the sale or rental of real estate projects under FASB Statement No. 67 “Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects”, and therefore the Company will continue to apply FASB Statement No. 67.

 

(n) Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 and 2004 amounts to conform to classifications adopted in 2006.

2. Real Estate Investments

During 2006, the Company acquired one shopping center for a purchase price of $63.1 million which included the assumption of $44.0 million in debt. In accordance with Statement 141, acquired lease intangible assets and acquired lease intangible liabilities of $6.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively were recorded for this acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination and the results of its operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. During 2005, the Company’s acquisition activity was through its joint ventures discussed further in Note 4.

 

3. Discontinued Operations

Regency maintains a conservative capital structure to fund its growth programs without compromising its investment-grade ratings. This approach is founded on a self-funding business model which utilizes center “recycling” as a key component and requires ongoing monitoring of each center to ensure that it meets Regency’s investment standards. This recycling strategy calls for the Company to sell properties that do not measure up to its standards and re-deploy the proceeds into new, higher-quality developments and acquisitions that are expected to generate sustainable revenue growth and more attractive returns.

During 2006, the Company sold 100% of its interest in 11 properties for net proceeds of $149.6 million. The combined operating income and gains from these properties and properties classified as held-for-sale are included in discontinued operations. The revenues from properties included in discontinued operations, including properties sold in 2006, 2005 and 2004, as well as operating properties held for sale, were $14.6 million, $32.8 million and $44.2 million for the three years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The operating income and gains from properties included in discontinued operations are reported net of minority interest of exchangeable operating partnership units and income taxes, if the property is sold by RRG, as follows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

4. Investments in Real Estate Partnerships

The Company accounts for all investments in which it owns 50% or less and does not have a controlling financial interest using the equity method. The Company has determined that these investments are not variable interest entities as defined in FIN 46(R) and do not require consolidation under EITF 04-5, and therefore, subject to the voting interest model in determining its basis of accounting. Major decisions, including property acquisitions and dispositions, financings, annual budgets and dissolution of the ventures are subject to the approval of all partners. The Company’s combined investment in these partnerships was $434.1 million and $545.6 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized or accreted to equity in income (loss) of investments in real estate partnerships over the expected useful lives of the properties and other intangible assets which range in lives from 10 to 40 years. Net income from these partnerships, which includes all operating results, as well as gains and losses on sales of properties within the joint ventures, is allocated to the Company in accordance with the respective partnership agreements. Such allocations of net income or loss are recorded in equity in income (loss) of investments in real estate partnerships in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Investments in real estate partnerships are comprised primarily of joint ventures with three unrelated co-investment partners and a recently formed open-end real estate fund (“Regency Retail Partners”), as further described below. In addition to the Company earning its pro-rata share of net income (loss) in each of the partnerships, these partnerships pay the Company fees for asset management, property management, investment and financing services. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company received fees from these joint ventures of $30.8 million, $26.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively.

The Company co-invests with the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund in three joint ventures (collectively “Columbia”) in which the Company has ownership interests of 20% or 30%. As of December 31, 2006, Columbia owned 20 shopping centers, had total assets of $558.1 million, and net income of $11.6 million for the year ended. The Company’s share of Columbia’s total assets and net income was $123.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively. During 2006 Columbia acquired four shopping centers from third parties for $97.0 million. The Company contributed $9.6 million for its proportionate share of the purchase price, which was net of $36.4 million of assumed mortgage debt and $13.3 million of financing obtained by Columbia. Columbia did not acquire any properties in 2005 and sold two shopping centers to an unrelated party for $47.6 million at a gain of $8.9 million.

The Company co-invests with the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (“CalSTRS”) in a joint venture (“RegCal”) in which the Company has an ownership interest of 25%. As of December 31, 2006, RegCal owned nine shopping centers, had total assets of $182.9 million, and net income of $1.7 million for the year ended. The Company’s share of RegCal’s total assets and net income was $45.7 million and $516,613, respectively. During 2006, RegCal acquired two shopping centers from unrelated parties for a purchase price of $37.3 million. The Company contributed $4.1 million for its proportionate share of the purchase price, which was net of financing obtained by RegCal. During 2005, RegCal acquired two shopping centers from an unrelated party for a purchase price of $20.0 million. The Company contributed $1.7 million for its proportionate share of the purchase price, which was net of loan financing assumed by RegCal.

4. Investments in Real Estate Partnerships (continued)

The Company co-invests with Macquarie CountryWide Trust of Australia (“MCW”) in four joint ventures, two in which the Company has an ownership interest of 25% (collectively, “MCWR I”), and two in which it has an ownership interest of 24.95% (collectively, “MCWR II”).

As of December 31, 2006, MCWR I owned 50 shopping centers, had total assets of $728.3 million, and net income of $18.2 million for the year ended. Regency’s share of MCWR I’s total assets and net income was $181.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively. During 2006 MCWR I purchased one shopping center from a third party for $25.0 million. The Company contributed $748,466 for its proportionate share of the purchase price, which was net of $12.5 million of assumed mortgage debt and $10.4 million in 1031 proceeds. During 2006, MCWR I sold two shopping centers to unrelated parties for $28.0 million for a gain of $7.8 million. During 2005, MCWR I acquired one shopping center from an unrelated party for a purchase price of $24.4 million. The Company contributed $4.5 million for its proportionate share of the purchase price, which was net of loan financing placed on the shopping center by MCWR I. In addition, MCWR I acquired two properties from the Company valued at $31.9 million, for which the Company received cash of $25.7 million for MCW’s proportionate share. During 2005, MCWR I sold four shopping centers to unrelated parties for $34.7 million with a gain of $582,910.

On June 1, 2005, MCWR II closed on the acquisition of a retail shopping center portfolio (the “First Washington Portfolio”) for a purchase price of approximately $2.8 billion, including the assumption of approximately $68.6 million of mortgage debt and the issuance of approximately $1.6 billion of new mortgage loans on the properties acquired. The First Washington Portfolio acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination by MCWR II. At December 31, 2005, MCWR II was owned 64.95% by an affiliate of MCW, 34.95% by Regency and 0.1% by Macquarie-Regency Management, LLC (“US Manager”). US Manager is owned 50% by Regency and 50% by an affiliate of Macquarie Bank Limited. On January 13, 2006, the Company sold a portion of its investment in MCWR II to MCW which reduced its ownership interest from 35% to 24.95% for net cash of $113.2 million which is reflected in proceeds from sale of real estate investments in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the unsecured line of credit. At December 31, 2006, MCWR II is owned 75% by a MCW affiliate, 24.90% by Regency and 0.1% by US Manager. Including its 50% share of US Manager, Regency’s effective ownership is 24.95% and is reflected as such under the equity method in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Regency was paid an acquisition fee by MCWR II related to the acquisition of the First Washington Portfolio in 2005. Regency has the ability to receive additional acquisition fees of approximately $14.2 million (the “Contingent Acquisition Fees”) subject to achieving certain targeted income levels in 2006 and 2007. The Contingent Acquisition Fees will only be recognized if earned, and the recognition of income will be limited to that percentage of MCWR II, or 75.05%, of the joint venture not owned by the Company. During 2006, $9.0 million of the Contingent Acquisition Fees was earned and approximately $6.8 million was recognized by the Company.

4. Investments in Real Estate Partnerships (continued)

As of December 31, 2006, MCWR II owned 97 shopping centers, had total assets of $2.7 billion and recorded a net loss of $24.7 million for the year ended. Regency’s share of MCWR II’s total assets and net loss was $676.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively. As a result of the significant amount of depreciation and amortization expense recorded by MCWR II in connection with the acquisition of the First Washington Portfolio, the joint venture may continue to report a net loss in future years, but is expected to produce positive cash flow from operations. During 2006, MCWR II acquired four development properties from the Company for a net sales price of $62.4 million and Regency received cash of $58.4 million. During 2006, MCWR II sold eight shopping centers for $122.4 million to unrelated parties for a gain of $1.5 million. During 2005, MCWR II sold one shopping center for $9.7 million to an unrelated party with a gain of $35,127.

In December 2006, Regency formed Regency Retail Partners (the “Fund”), an open-end, infinite-life investment fund in which its ownership interest is 26.8%. The Company expects to reduce its ownership interest to 20% during 2007 as other partners invest in the Fund. The Fund will have the exclusive right to acquire all Regency-developed large format community centers upon stabilization that meet the Fund’s investment criteria.

As of December 31, 2006, the Fund owned two shopping centers, had total assets of $76.1 million, and recorded net income of $25,633 for the year ended. Regency’s share of the Fund’s total assets and net income was $20.4 million and $6,870, respectively. At closing, the Fund acquired two properties from the Company valued at $72.6 million, for which the Company received cash of $63.7 million for the Fund’s proportionate share.

Recognition of gains from sales to joint ventures is recorded on only that portion of the sales not attributable to the Company’s ownership interest. The gains, operations and cash flows are not recorded as discontinued operations because of Regency’s substantial continuing involvement in these shopping centers. Columbia, RegCal, and the joint ventures with MCW and the Fund intend to continue to acquire retail shopping centers, some of which they may acquire directly from the Company. For those properties acquired from third parties, the Company is required to contribute its pro-rata share of the purchase price to the partnerships.

5. Notes Receivable

The Company has notes receivables outstanding of $20.0 million and $46.5 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The notes bear interest ranging from 6.75% to 8.0% with maturity dates through November 2014.

 

6. Acquired Lease Intangibles

During 2006, the Company acquired one shopping center and in accordance with Statement 141, acquired lease intangible assets and acquired lease intangible liabilities of $6.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively were recorded for the acquisition. The Company has acquired lease intangible assets of $12.3 million of which $11.7 million relates to in-place leases at December 31, 2006. These in-place leases have a remaining weighted average amortization period of approximately 6.3 years and the aggregate amortization expense was approximately $3.8 million, $4.0 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company has above market lease intangible assets of $623,130 recorded net of a reduction to minimum rent of $81,753 at December 31, 2006. The remaining weighted average amortization period is approximately 7.2 years. Acquired lease intangible liabilities are all related to below-market rents and recorded net of previously accreted minimum rent of $4.3 million and $2.9 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The remaining weighted average accretion period is approximately 7.2 years.

7. Notes Payable and Unsecured Line of Credit

The Company’s outstanding debt at December 31, 2006 and 2005 consists of the following (in thousands):

 

     2006    2005

Notes Payable:

     

Fixed rate mortgage loans

   $ 186,897    175,403

Variable rate mortgage loans

     68,662    77,906

Fixed rate unsecured loans

     1,198,827    1,198,633
           

Total notes payable

     1,454,386    1,451,942

Unsecured line of credit

     121,000    162,000
           

Total

   $ 1,575,386    1,613,942
           

The Company has an unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Line”) with a commitment of $500 million and the right to expand the Line by an additional $150 million subject to additional lender syndication. The Line has a three-year term which expires in 2007 with a one-year extension at the Company’s option with an interest rate of LIBOR plus .75%. At December 31, 2006, the balance on the Line was $121 million. Contractual interest rates on the Line, which are based on LIBOR plus .75%, were 6.125% and 5.125% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The spread paid on the Line is dependent upon the Company maintaining specific investment-grade ratings. The Company is also required to comply, and is in compliance, with certain financial covenants such as Minimum Net Worth, Total Liabilities to Gross Asset Value (“GAV”) and Recourse Secured Debt to GAV, Fixed Charge Coverage and other covenants customary with this type of unsecured financing. The Line is used primarily to finance the development of real estate, but is also available for general working-capital purposes.

In February, 2007, Regency entered into a new loan agreement under the Line which increased the commitment to $600 million with the right to increase the facility size to $750 million. The contractual interest rate will be reduced to LIBOR plus .55% and will have an initial term of 48 months followed by a 12 month extension option.

Mortgage loans are secured by certain real estate properties and may be prepaid, but could be subject to a yield-maintenance premium or prepayment penalty. Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of interest and principal and mature over various terms through 2017. The Company intends to repay mortgage loans at maturity from proceeds from the Line. Variable interest rates on mortgage loans are currently based on LIBOR plus a spread in a range of 90 to 135 basis points. Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 5.22% to 8.95%.

The fair value of the Company’s variable rate notes payable and the Line are considered to approximate fair value, since the interest rates on such instruments re-price based on current market conditions. The fair value of fixed rate loans are estimated using cash flows discounted at current market rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and average maturities. Fixed rate loans assumed in connection with real estate acquisitions are recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at fair value. Based on the estimates used by the Company, the fair value of notes payable and the Line is approximately $1.6 billion at December 31, 2006.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments primarily to manage exposures to interest rate risks. In order to manage the volatility relating to interest rate risk, the Company may enter into interest rate hedging arrangements from time to time. None of the Company’s derivatives are designated as fair value hedges. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

On March 10, 2006, the Company entered into four forward-starting interest rate swaps totaling $396.7 million with fixed rates of 5.399%, 5.415%, 5.399% and 5.415%. The Company designated these swaps as cash flow hedges to fix $400 million fixed rate financing expected to occur in 2010 and 2011. The change in fair value of these swaps from inception generated a liability of $2.9 million at December 31, 2006, which is recorded in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

On April 1, 2005, the Company entered into three forward-starting interest rate swaps of approximately $65.6 million each with fixed rates of 5.029%, 5.05% and 5.05% to fix the rate on unsecured notes issued in July 2005. On July 13, 2005, the Company settled the swaps with a payment to the counter-parties for $7.3 million. During 2003, the Company entered into two forward-starting interest rate swaps for a total of $144.2 million to fix the rate on a refinancing in April 2004. On March 31, 2004, the Company settled these swaps with a payment to the counter-party for $5.7 million. The adjustment to interest expense recorded in 2006 related to the settlement of these swaps is approximately $1.3 million and the unamortized balance at December 31, 2006 is $10.4 million.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

All of these swaps qualify for hedge accounting under Statement 133. Realized losses associated with the swaps settled in 2005 and 2004 and unrealized losses associated with the swaps entered into in 2006 have been included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss). The unamortized balance of the realized losses is being amortized as additional interest expense over the ten year terms of the hedged loans. Unrealized losses will not be amortized until such time that the expected debt issuance is completed in 2010 and 2011 as long as the swaps continue to qualify for hedge accounting.

 

9. Stockholders’ Equity and Minority Interest

 

  (a) Preferred Units

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the face value of the Series D Preferred Units was $50 million with a fixed distribution rate of 7.45% and recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets net of original issuance costs.

On August 1, 2005, the Company redeemed the $30 million Series E Preferred Units and expensed related issuance costs of $762,180. On September 7, 2005, the Company redeemed the $24 million Series F Preferred Units and expensed their related issuance costs of $634,201. The redemptions were funded from the net proceeds from issuing common stock related to a Forward Sale Agreement as discussed further below.

Terms and conditions for the Series D Preferred Units outstanding as of December 31, 2006 are summarized as follows:

The Preferred Units may be exchanged by the holder for Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) at an exchange rate of one share for one unit. The Preferred Units and the related Preferred Stock are not convertible into common stock of the Company.

In 2005, the Company issued 3 million shares, or $75 million, of 6.70% Series 5 Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $25 per share of which the proceeds were used to reduce the balance of the Line. The Series 3 and 4 depositary shares, which have a liquidation preference of $25, and the Series 5 preferred shares are perpetual, are not convertible into common stock of the Company, and are redeemable at par upon Regency’s election five years after the issuance date. None of the terms of the Preferred Stock contain any unconditional obligations that would require the Company to redeem the securities at any time or for any purpose.

 

  (c) Common Stock

On April 5, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 4,312,500 shares of its common stock to an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) at $46.60 per share, in connection with a forward sale agreement (the “Forward Sale Agreement”). On August 1, 2005, the Company issued 3,782,500 shares to Citigroup for net proceeds of approximately $175.5 million and on September 7, 2005, the remaining 530,000 shares were issued for net proceeds of $24.4 million. The proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the Line and redeem the Series E and Series F Preferred Units.

10. Stock-Based Compensation and Other Employee Plan

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 as follows, the components of which are further described below (in thousands):

 

     2006    2005    2004

Restricted stock

   $ 16,584    16,955    10,154

Stock options, dividends and equivalents

     960    1,440    3,928

Directors’ fees paid in common stock

     406    360    343
                

Total

   $ 17,950    18,755    14,425
                

The recorded amounts of stock-based compensation expense represent amortization of deferred compensation related to share based payments in accordance with Statement 123(R). Compensation expense that is specifically identifiable to development activities is capitalized to the associated development project and is included above.

During 2004, as permitted by Statement 123, the Company accounted for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and recognized no compensation cost for employee stock options. Had the Company adopted Statement 123(R) in 2004, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 in the disclosure of pro-forma net income and earnings per share described as follows (in thousands except per share data):

 

     December 31, 2004

Net income for common stockholders as reported

   $ 127,694

Add: stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income

     14,425

Deduct: total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based methods for all awards

     21,067
      

Pro-forma net income

   $ 121,052
      

Earnings per share:

  

Basic – as reported

   $ 2.08

   $ 1.98
      

Diluted – as reported

   $ 2.08
      

Diluted – pro-forma

   $ 1.97
      

The Company has a Long-Term Omnibus Plan (the “Plan”) under which the Board of Directors may grant stock options and other stock-based awards to officers, directors and other key employees. The Plan allows the Company to issue up to 5.0 million shares in the form of common stock or stock options, but limits the issuance of common stock excluding stock options to no more than 2.75 million shares. At December 31, 2006, there were approximately 1.4 million shares available for grant under the Plan either through options or restricted stock. The Plan also limits outstanding awards to no more than 12% of outstanding common stock.

10. Stock-Based Compensation and Other Employee Plan (continued)

Stock options are granted under the Plan with an exercise price equal to the stock’s fair market value at the date of grant. All stock options granted have ten-year lives, contain vesting terms of one to five years from the date of grant and some have dividend equivalent rights. Stock options granted prior to 2005 also contained “reload” rights, which allowed an option holder to receive new options each time existing options were exercised if the existing options were exercised under specific criteria provided for in the Plan. In January 2005, the Company acquired the “reload” rights of existing stock options from the option holders by granting 771,645 options to 37 employees for an exercise price of $51.36, the fair value on the date of grant, and granted 7,906 restricted shares to 11 employees representing value of $363,664, substantially canceling all of the “reload” rights on existing stock options. These stock options and restricted shares vest 25% per year and are expensed over a four-year period beginning in 2005 in accordance with Statement 123(R). Options granted under the reload buy-out plan do not earn dividend equivalents.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton closed-form (“Black Scholes”) option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The Company uses historical data and other factors to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The Company believes that the use of the Black-Scholes model meets the fair value measurement objectives of Statement 123(R) and reflects all substantive characteristics of the instruments being valued. The following table represents the assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for options granted in the respective year:

10. Stock-Based Compensation and Other Employee Plan (continued)

The Company grants restricted stock under the Plan to its employees as a form of long-term compensation and retention. The terms of each grant vary depending upon the participant’s responsibilities and position within the Company. The Company’s stock grants to date can be categorized into three types: (a) 4-year vesting, (b) performance-based vesting, and (c) 8-year cliff vesting.

 

  The 4-year vesting grants vest 25% per year beginning in the year of grant. These grants are not subject to future performance measures.

 

  Performance grants are earned subject to future performance measurements, which include individual performance measures, annual growth in earnings, compounded three-year growth in earnings, and a three-year total shareholder return peer comparison (“TSR Grant”). Once the performance criteria are met and the actual number of shares earned is determined, certain shares will vest immediately while others will vest over an additional service period.

 

  The 8-year cliff vesting grants fully vest at the end of the eighth year from the date of grant; however, as a result of the achievement of future performance, primarily growth in earnings, the vesting of these grants may be accelerated over a shorter term.

Performance grants and 8-year cliff vesting grants are currently only granted to the Company’s senior management. The Company considers the likelihood of meeting the performance criteria based upon management’s estimates and analysis of future earnings growth from which it determines the amounts recognized as expense on a periodic basis. The Company determines the grant date fair value of TSR Grants based upon a Monte Carlo Simulation model. Compensation expense is measured at the grant date and recognized over the vesting period.

10. Stock-Based Compensation and Other Employee Plan (continued)

The weighed-average grant price for restricted stock granted during the years 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $63.75, $51.38 and $39.79, respectively. The total intrinsic value of restricted stock vested during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $26.3 million, $16.5 million and $11.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, there was $22.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock granted under the Plan, which is recorded when recognized in additional paid in capital of the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss). This unrecognized compensation cost will be recognized over the next three years through 2009.

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all employees, which permits participants to defer up to the maximum allowable amount determined by the IRS of their eligible compensation. This deferred compensation, together with Company matching contributions equal to 100% of employee deferrals up to a maximum of $3,500 of their eligible compensation is fully vested and funded as of December 31, 2006. Costs relating to the matching portion of the plan were approximately $1.1 million, $603,415 and $588,482 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

12. Operating Leases

The Company’s properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with expiration dates extending to the year 2032. Future minimum rents under noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2006 excluding both tenant reimbursements of operating expenses and additional percentage rent based on tenants’ sales volume are as follows (in thousands):

 

Year Ending December 31,

2011

   162,253

Thereafter

   987,961
    

Total

   $2,140,154
    

The shopping centers’ tenant base includes primarily national and regional supermarkets, drug stores, discount department stores and other retailers and, consequently, the credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry. There were no tenants that individually represented more than 7% of the Company’s future minimum rents.

The Company has shopping centers that are subject to non-cancelable long-term ground leases where a third party owns and has leased the underlying land to Regency to construct and/or operate a shopping center. In addition, the Company has non-cancelable operating leases pertaining to office space from which it conducts its business. The following table summarizes the future obligations under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2006 (in thousands):

13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in litigation on a number of matters and is subject to certain claims which arise in the normal course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company is also subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to real estate pertaining to chemicals used by the dry cleaning industry, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and underground petroleum storage tanks (UST’s). The Company believes that the tenants who currently operate dry cleaning plants or gas stations do so in accordance with current laws and regulations. The Company has placed environmental insurance, where possible, on specific properties with known contamination, in order to mitigate its environmental risk. The Company monitors the shopping centers containing environmental issues and in certain cases voluntarily remediates the sites. The Company also has legal obligations to remediate certain sites and is in the process of doing so. The Company estimates the cost associated with these legal obligations to be approximately $3.8 million of which has been accrued. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material affect on its financial position, liquidity, or operations; however, it can give no assurance that existing environmental studies with respect to the shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental liabilities; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to it; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; or that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to the Company.

2.2 Capital Calls During Initial Investment Period.

(a) At any time, and from time to time, during the Initial Investment Period, the General Partner may provide notice to the Fund General Partners that the Partnership requires additional capital for Partnership purposes (a “Capital Call Notice”). In determining the additional capital required for Partnership purposes that will be specified in the Capital Call Notice, the General Partner shall take into account any cash that will be contributed by the Regency Partner or any Affiliate pursuant to Section 2.6. Each Capital Call Notice shall include the total additional amount of capital that the Partnership requires (the “Additional Capital Amount”) and the respective portions of such Additional Capital Amount that it requires from each of the Participating Partnerships (each, a “Capital Amount Proportion”). The Capital Amount Proportion for each Participating Partnership will be equal to the sum of the capital contributions from each Fund Limited Partner that is a limited partner in such Participating Partnership assuming that all Fund Limited Partners make capital contributions to their respective Participating Partnerships in the following manner until the aggregate amount of such capital contributions is equal to the Additional Capital Amount:

(b) The Regency Partner’s obligation to make Capital Contributions shall be governed by Section 2.4 and not by this Section 2.2.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Fund Limited Partner shall be required to make capital contributions to the Participating Partnership in which

 

- 18 -


such Fund Limited Partner is a limited partner in an aggregate amount exceeding such Fund Limited Partner’s Fund Capital Commitment.

(d) For purposes of Capital Calls pursuant to this Section 2.3, the General Partner shall not take into account Delinquent Limited Partners (as defined in the Fund Partnership Agreement) or any other Fund Limited Partner that is delinquent in making capital contributions to a Feeder Partnership and the units held by such delinquent Fund Limited Partners.

2.3 Issuance of Additional Units.

(a) At any time after the date hereof, without the consent of any Limited Partner, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to issue additional Units (including Common Units and Preferred Units) to the Parent REIT, the Subsidiary REIT, the Regency Partner (in connection with a contribution of Properties pursuant to the Exclusivity Agreement) or an Affiliate of the Regency Partner (in connection with a contribution of Properties pursuant to the Exclusivity Agreement) and reflect such issuance on an amendment or supplement to Exhibit A, in exchange for Capital Contributions; provided, however, that the issuance of Common Units at other than Net Asset Value Per Unit is subject to the approval of the Advisory Council, pursuant to Section 5.5(g), except that during the Initial Investment Period Common Units shall be issued at a price equal to the greater of Net Asset Value Per Unit or one thousand dollars ($1,000) per Unit provided, however, that Common Units issued as a result of the investment of proceeds from the issuance of Fund Limited Partner Units to Fund Limited Partners that became Fund Limited Partners prior to June 30, 2007 will be issued at one thousand dollars ($1,000) per Common Unit until such time as all Fund Limited Partners that became Fund Limited Partners prior to June 30, 2007 (other than any Delinquent Limited Partner (as defined in the Fund Partnership Agreement) or any other Fund Limited Partner that is delinquent in making capital contributions to a Feeder Partnership) have made Capital Contributions such that they all have the same Unfunded Capital Percentage. The Partnership shall not issue additional Preferred Units unless it is necessary or advisable to do so in order to maintain the status of the Subsidiary REIT or Parent REIT as a REIT. The Partnership shall not issue any partnership interests or equity securities other than Preferred Units or Common Units issued in accordance with this Section 2.3.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, from and after the date hereof, the Subsidiary REIT shall not issue any additional Subsidiary REIT Common Shares or Subsidiary REIT Preferred Shares, unless (1) the Subsidiary REIT contributes to the Partnership the net proceeds from the issuance of such Subsidiary REIT Common Shares or Subsidiary REIT Preferred Shares; and (2) the General Partner causes the Partnership to issue to the Subsidiary REIT either Common Units or Preferred Units having designations, preferences and other rights, all such that the economic interests are substantially similar to those of the Subsidiary REIT Common Shares or Subsidiary REIT Preferred Shares.

If, upon any issuance of Fund Limited Partner Units, the Regency Investment Percentage is not equal to or greater than the Regency Required Investment, then as of the date of such issuance of Fund Limited Partner Units the Regency Partner or an Affiliate will acquire, at a price per Common Unit equal to the Net Asset Value Per Unit as of such date (provided that prior to the end of the Initial Investment Period, Units shall be issued at a price per Unit equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 or (ii) the Net Asset Value Per Unit as of such date), a number of units in the Fund Partnership, Common Units or units in the Feeder Partnerships sufficient to cause the Regency Investment Percentage to equal or exceed the Regency Required Investment.

(b) The General Partner is authorized to issue Units to the Regency Partner, an Affiliate of the Regency Partner or the Subsidiary REIT at a price per Unit equal to the Net Asset Value Per Unit as of such date (provided that prior to the end of the Initial Investment Period, Units shall be issued at a price per Unit equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 or (ii) the Net Asset Value Per Unit as of such date) in connection with a purchase by the Regency Partner or an Affiliate of the Regency Partner of Common Units, units in the Feeder Partnerships or units in the Fund Partnership pursuant to this Section 2.4 (which in the case of units purchased in the Fund Partnership or a Feeder Partnership, in turn, will result in the Subsidiary REIT contributing the proceeds of such issuances to the Partnership pursuant to the terms of the applicable Fund Governing Documents), whether during or after the Initial Offering Period.

SECTION 3

ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

3.1 Allocation of Profits and Losses.

(a) In General. After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 hereof, Profits or Losses for any Fiscal Period shall be allocated to the Partners holding Common Units in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

(b) Limitation on Losses. Notwithstanding Section 3.2(a), to the extent Losses allocated to a Limited Partner under Section 3.2(a) would cause such Limited Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account deficit as of the end of the Fiscal Period to which such Losses relate, such Losses shall not be allocated to such Partner and instead shall be allocated to the General Partner.

3.2 Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 3.1, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in “partnership minimum gain” (as that term is defined in Sections 1.704-2(b)(2) and 1.704-2(d) of the Regulations) during any year, each Partner shall, to the extent required by Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, to the extent required by Section 1.704-2(j)(2)(iii) of the Regulations, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership minimum gain. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in accordance with Section 1.704-2(f)(6) of the Regulations. This Section 3.2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

- 21 -


(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” (as that term is defined in Sections 1.704-2(i)(2) and (3) of the Regulations) during any year, each Partner who has a share of that partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain as of the beginning of the Fiscal Year shall, to the extent required by Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) equal to that Partner’s share of the net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations. This Section 3.2(b) is intended to comply with the requirement in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. If any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of the Regulations, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Section 3 have been tentatively made as if this Section 3.2(c) were not in the Agreement.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. “Nonrecourse deductions” (as that term is defined in Section 1.704-2(1) and (c) of the Regulations) for any year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Partners holding Common Units in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. “Partner nonrecourse deductions” (as that term is defined in Section 1.704-2(i) of the Regulations) for any Fiscal Period shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the “partner nonrecourse debt” (as that term is defined in Section 1.704-2(b)(4) of the Regulations) to which such partner nonrecourse deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

(f) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.

(g) Allocation of Gains and Losses Attributable to Revaluations. If the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to part (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, the amount of such adjustment shall be specially allocated to the Partners holding Common Units in proportion to their Percentage Interests; provided however, that any

 

- 22 -


adjustments in connection with a distribution to the Regency Partner under Section 12.4 shall be allocated in accordance with Section 3.7.

(h) Preferred Unit Allocation. For each Fiscal Period, each of the Parent REIT and the Subsidiary REIT shall be allocated items of gross income or gain equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate distributions received by such entity with respect to such Fiscal Period pursuant to Sections 4.2(a) and (b) (including distributions received by such entity pursuant to such subsections by reason of Section 12.2(a)(ii) hereof) and (ii) any payments to such entity in respect of the redemption of one or more Preferred Units pursuant to clause (b), (c), or (d) of Section 9.3.

3.3 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 3.1(c), 3.2(a), 3.2(b), 3.2(c), 3.2(d), 3.2(e), and 3.2(f) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations that are made be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations pursuant to this Section 3.3. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2(g), and 3.2(h) and 3.7. In exercising its discretion under this Section 3.3, the General Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 3.2(a) and 3.2(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 3.2(d) and 3.2(e).

3.4 Tax Allocations.

(a) Generally. Subject to Section 3.4, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to be allocated for income tax purposes (collectively, “Tax Items”) shall be allocated among the Partners on the same basis as their respective book items.

(b) Allocations Respecting Section 704(c) and Revaluations. Notwithstanding Section 3.4, Tax Items with respect to Property that is subject to Code Section 704(c) and/or Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) shall be allocated in accordance with said Code section and/or Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i), as the case may be, using the traditional method under Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

3.5 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) The Partnership shall use the “interim closing of the books” method to determine each Partner’s share of the Partnership’s Profits, Losses, and any other items upon any change in the Partners’ interests in the Partnership (whether by reason of a sale, redemption, or otherwise), except as otherwise required by Section 706.

 

- 23 -


(b) Solely for purposes of determining a Partner’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Partners’ interests in Partnership profits are in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

(c) To the extent permitted by Section 1.704-2(h)(3) of the Regulations, the General Partner shall endeavor to treat distributions as having been made from the proceeds of a “nonrecourse liability” (as that term is defined in Section 1.704-2(b)(3) of the Regulations) or a “partner nonrecourse debt” (as that term is defined in Section 1.704-2(b)(4) of the Regulations) only to the extent that such distributions would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account deficit for any Limited Partner.

3.6 Capital Accounts. The Partnership shall establish and maintain throughout the term of the Partnership for each Partner a separate Capital Account in accordance with Treasury Regulations 1.704-1(b).

3.7 Allocations in Year of Liquidation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, in the year in which the Partnership makes liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 12.2, items of gross income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner that will cause the Capital Account balance of each such Partner to be equal to, or to approximate as closely as possible, the aggregate net distributions that each such Partner is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(ii) and (iii), provided, however, that any adjustments to the Gross Asset Value of the Partnership’s assets pursuant to part (ii) of the definition of Gross Asset Value in connection with a distribution to the Regency Partner under Section 12.4 shall be allocated to the Partners in a manner that causes the Partners’ Capital Accounts to be equal to, or to approximate as closely as possible, the amounts they would be entitled to receive under Section 12.2(a)(ii) and (iii) if the Partnership, instead of making the distribution to the Regency Partner provided for in Section 12.4, distributed an amount equal to the Liquidation Value (as determined pursuant to Section 12.4) to the Partners in liquidation of their interests in the Partnership.

SECTION 4

DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Cash Distributions. Cash Flow will be distributed quarterly:

(a) First, to the Parent REIT and the Subsidiary REIT in proportion to and to the extent of their Preferred Return Account balances;

(b) Second, to the Parent REIT and the Subsidiary REIT in proportion to and to the extent of their Preferred REIT Maintenance Account balances; and

(a) The General Partner may elect to implement a distribution reinvestment plan at any time after the expiration of the Initial Investment Period. If the General Partner elects to do so, it shall implement a distribution reinvestment plan for the Partnership as set forth in the Umbrella Agreement (the “Plan”). The Subsidiary REIT shall automatically reinvest all Reinvestment Proceeds (as defined in the Umbrella Agreement) in the Partnership, as required by the Umbrella Agreement, and the General Partner shall issue Common Units to the Subsidiary REIT in exchange for such Reinvestment Proceeds. All such issuances of Common Units in accordance with the Plan shall be made pursuant to Section 2.3 and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as are set forth for reinvestment of distributions in the limited partnership agreements of the Participating Partnerships.

(b) In the event that the General Partner implements the Plan, any Partner other than the Subsidiary REIT may, in its sole discretion, elect in writing to automatically reinvest all or a potion of the amounts distributed to such Partner pursuant to Section 4.1 in Common Units, which reinvestment shall be made on the same terms and conditions as the Reinvestment Proceeds are reinvested pursuant to Section 4.2(a).

4.3 Withholding. Each Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from, or pay on behalf of or with respect to, such Partner any amount of federal, state, local, or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Partner shall constitute a recourse loan by the Partnership to such Partner, which loan shall be repaid by such Partner within fifteen (15) days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution which would otherwise be made to the Partner; or (ii) the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership which would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Partner. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Partner.

The Advisory Council will be established for the benefit of the Fund. The members of the Advisory Council shall be selected by the General Partner from representatives made available by the Fund Limited Partners, but none of such members may be Affiliates or employees of Regency or any of its Affiliates. After the initial appointment of the Advisory Council, each member shall serve for an initial term of one year, with automatic successive one-year renewal terms unless such member withdraws or is removed by the General Partner.

(c) The Advisory Council shall meet on such regular schedule as the Advisory Council establishes. In addition to such scheduled meetings, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice, the General Partner may call a meeting of the Advisory Council. The General Partner shall prepare and distribute an agenda for each meeting of the Advisory Council prior to such meeting. Members of the Advisory Council may participate in meetings by conference telephones or similar equipment. The General Partner shall have the right to attend the meetings of the Advisory Council but shall not vote on any matters considered by the Advisory Council. In addition to the members of the Advisory Council appointed pursuant to Section 5.3(a), the General Partner shall also have the right to appoint, from representatives made available by Fund Limited Partners, one or more non-voting members of the Advisory Council who shall have the right to notice of, and to attend, the meetings of the Advisory Council but shall not vote on any matters considered by the

Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement and the other Fund Governing Documents (including provisions requiring approval of the Advisory Council, the Limited Partners or the Fund Limited Partners over certain matters), the General Partner is authorized to execute, deliver and perform agreements and transactions on behalf of the Partnership without any further act, approval or vote of the Partners to the fullest extent permitted under the Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation. The General Partner and each duly authorized officer of the General Partner may act for and in the name of the General Partner under this Agreement.

The General Partner and the Partnership shall have no liability to a Limited Partner as a result of an income tax liability incurred by such Limited Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner taken pursuant to its authority under this Agreement unless such action (or inaction) is taken in violation of an obligation that the General Partner may have to a Limited Partner pursuant to a side letter with such Limited Partner.

5.9 Exclusivity Agreement. As of the date hereof, Regency and the Partnership have entered into an exclusivity agreement (including the form of property contribution agreement attached thereto, the “Exclusivity Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit B, pursuant to which Regency and its Affiliates will contribute Investment Properties or offer Acquisition Opportunities (as defined in the Exclusivity Agreement) to the Partnership, and the Partnership will accept the contribution of such Investment Properties, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exclusivity Agreement.

5.10 One Portfolio Policy. Regency intends to implement, and shall have the right to implement, a policy which is intended to allow Regency to operate all Properties under its direct or indirect control on an ownership-blind basis (the “One Portfolio Policy”) regardless of whether a property is owned by Regency or an Affiliate of Regency, a joint venture between Regency or an Affiliate of Regency and a third party (including the Partnership), or an institutional investor advised by the Regency or an Affiliate (all such

 

- 29 -


properties, the “Regency Portfolio”). Regency intends that all Partnership Properties be part of the Regency Portfolio and be subject to the One Portfolio Policy. The One Portfolio Policy may provide for placing properties under an umbrella insurance policy, negotiating master property management agreements, implementing a consistent signage program, participating in incremental income and e-business programs and platforms, and making portfolio-wide leasing decisions. It is understood that such One Portfolio Policy may result in benefits or burdens with respect to individual Properties. Regency shall implement the One Portfolio Policy subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 5.14 in connection with any services Regency or any of its Affiliates are retained to perform in accordance with the One Portfolio Policy. Regency’s One Portfolio Policy may be modified from time to time in the discretion of Regency.

5.11 Allocation Policy. In allocating Acquisition Opportunities among the Partnership and other entities in which Regency and its Affiliates have an ownership interest, Regency shall follow the allocation policy attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C (the “Allocation Policy”). Regency may modify its overall allocation policies from time to time in its discretion, after consulting with the Advisory Council and providing prior written notice to the Fund Limited Partners, where modifications are necessary as a result of changes in law. Any other change to the Allocation Policy shall require approval by the Advisory Council pursuant to Section 5.4.

5.12 Leverage. The General Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership and its Subsidiaries to enter into financing arrangements in accordance with the leverage policy attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Leverage Policy”). The General Partner may not cause or permit the Partnership to incur any indebtedness inconsistent with the Leverage Policy unless such indebtedness is approved by the Advisory Council pursuant to Section 5.5(d). In addition, any change to the Leverage Policy shall require the approval of the Advisory Council pursuant to Section 5.5(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to June 30, 2007, the General Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership and its Subsidiaries to enter into the Initial Financing (as defined in the Private Placement Memorandum) and to cause the Partnership and its Subsidiaries to accept the contribution of assets subject to the Initial Financing. Prior to June, 2007 Regency and its Affiliates will not use the Initial Financing other than for properties to be contributed to the Fund or Properties owned by the Fund.

5.13 Valuation Policy. The General Partner shall cause the Partnership’s Properties to be valued pursuant to the valuation policy attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Valuation Policy”), such that each of the Properties will be appraised annually.

5.14 Use of Affiliates. Subject to approval of a majority of the members of the Advisory Council of the amount of the fees charged, the General Partner may retain Regency or one or more Affiliates of Regency to perform services for the Partnership and its Subsidiaries in lieu of hiring unaffiliated third parties to perform such services, including without limitation legal, tax, debt placement, property insurance, property management, and leasing and construction management services, on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than those available from unaffiliated third parties with comparable experience for a comparable level of quality and service (“Market Rates”). Prior to each calendar year, the General Partner will submit to the Advisory Council for approval a

 

- 30 -


schedule of fees proposed to be charged by Regency and its Affiliates for any such services that will be provided, together with evidence indicating that on a portfolio-wide basis (except in the case of leasing commissions, which will be on a market-by-market basis) such fees are no greater than Market Rates. The Advisory Council shall approve or disapprove such fees, provided that the Advisory Council shall not withhold approval with respect to any fee that is no greater than the Market Rate for such fee. Any change to the fees so approved shall be effective as of the beginning of such following calendar year, and any agreement pursuant to which Regency or any of its Affiliates provides services to a Fund Entity shall provide that it shall be amended automatically to reflect any such change in the fees charged pursuant to this Section 5.14. The initial schedule of fees to be charged and services to be provided by Regency or an Affiliate, which shall be in effect for the 2007 calendar year without any further approval, is attached hereto as Exhibit F. Any disposition fee payable to Regency or an Affiliate of Regency with respect to the sale of a Property, shall require Advisory Council approval prior to the time of the disposition of such Property.

SECTION 8

AMENDMENTS

8.1 Amendments Generally. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, and notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Act, any amendments to this Agreement shall be proposed by the General Partner and adopted with the approval of the Fund Limited Partners; provided, however, that no amendment of this Agreement shall:

(a) without the approval of all the Fund Limited Partners, amend this Section 8.1; or

(b) without the approval of the affected Fund Limited Partners, adversely and disproportionately affect the manner in which any Partner’s share of the Partnership’s distributions, income, gains or losses is calculated or adversely affect the liability of any Fund Limited Partner.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1, this Agreement may be amended by the General Partner, by executing an instrument of amendment and giving each Fund Limited Partner notice thereof, without the consent of any of the Fund Limited Partners, (i) to effect changes of a ministerial nature that do not materially and adversely affect the rights, duties or obligations of any Partner; (ii) to give effect to the admission of Partners in accordance with the terms hereof; (iii) to conform the terms of this Agreement with any regulations issued under Code Section 704, provided that, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights or interests of any of the Partners; (iv) with respect to the Partnership’s status as a partnership (and not as an association taxable as a corporation) for federal tax purposes (x) to comply with the requirements of the Regulations, or (y) to ensure the continuation of partnership status; provided, however, that, in the opinion of counsel of the Partnership, such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights or interests of any of the Partners; (v) to enter into side letters with Limited Partners, to the extent that they do not materially and adversely affect the economic interests of other Partners under this Agreement; and (vi) to change the name of the Partnership; provided, however, that no amendment shall be adopted pursuant to this sentence unless the adoption thereof (1) is, in the General Partner’s reasonable determination, for the benefit of or not adverse to the interests of the Partners; (2) is consistent with the other provisions hereof;

 

- 33 -


(3) does not affect the allocation and distribution provisions of Section 3 and Section 4 hereof (except to the extent necessary to conform the terms of this Agreement with any regulations issued under Code Sections 704) other than any effect that may result from the admission of a new Partner in accordance with the terms hereof; (4) does not alter the purpose of the Partnership; and (5) does not adversely affect the limited liability of the Limited Partners or the status of the Partnership as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 9

TRANSFERS; REDEMPTIONS

9.1 Transfer of Interests in the Partnership.

(a) The Limited Partner may Transfer its interest in the Partnership to an Affiliate of the Limited Partner without the approval of the Fund Limited Partners, so long as such Transfer includes a Transfer to such Affiliate of all of the Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership and all of the Regency Interests. Other than Transfers to an Affiliate, no Limited Partner shall Transfer all or any of its Units or its interest in the Partnership (or any economic interest therein), and no Transfer other than to an Affiliate shall be registered by the Partnership without the approval of the Fund Limited Partners.

(b) Subject Section 9.1(c), upon any Transfer in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1(a), the transferee Limited Partner, subject to the approval of the Fund Limited Partners (if required by Section 9.1(a)), shall become a limited partner of the Partnership under the Act and shall become vested with the powers and rights of the transferor Limited Partner, and shall be liable for all obligations and responsible for all duties of the Limited Partner, once such transferee has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(c) It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred interest in the Partnership and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Limited Partner are assumed by a successor corporation or other Person by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Limited Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the Fund Limited Partners.

(d) The General Partner shall not transfer all or any of its Units or its interest in the Partnership (or any economic interest therein).

9.2 Redemptions of Common Units.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.2, each Partner may elect quarterly to notify the Partnership of its desire to have the Partnership redeem some or all of its Common Units (the “Redemption Right”) by providing the General Partner with a

 

- 34 -


notice of that it is exercising its Redemption Right with respect to a number of Common Units to be set forth in such notice (the “OP Redemption Notice”). An OP Redemption Notice will be irrevocable by a Partner upon receipt by the General Partner and will be first effective as of the calendar quarter end on or most nearly following the 90th day after the date of delivery of the OP Redemption Notice to the General Partner (the “OP Redemption Notice Effective Date”) and shall remain effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Common Units subject thereto have been redeemed, or (ii) the occurrence of a Liquidating Event.

(b) As a condition to admitting any Fund Limited Partner, the applicable Fund General Partner may agree to limit the number of Fund Limited Partner Units which may be held by such Fund Limited Partner in proportion to the total number of Fund Limited Partner Units outstanding in order to satisfy legal regulations, tax or other investment limitations of such Fund Limited Partner (an “Ownership Restricted Partner”). If after admitting an Ownership Restricted Partner, any Fund Limited Partner sends a redemption notice with respect to the Participating Partnership in which such Fund Limited Partner is a limited partner and the redemption of Fund Limited Partner Units pursuant to such redemption notice would cause any Ownership Restricted Partner to be in violation of an ownership restriction, such Ownership Restricted Partner shall be automatically deemed to have submitted to the Participating Partnership in which such Ownership Restricted Partner is a partner a redemption notice deemed sent on the same day as the notice that would cause the Ownership Restricted Partner to violate its ownership restriction was sent for the smallest number of Fund Limited Partner Units necessary to prevent such Ownership Restricted Partner from violating its ownership restriction after the redemption of all other outstanding redemption notices from Fund Limited Partners.

(c) The Partners agree that any redemption notice received or deemed to be received by the Subsidiary REIT in accordance with the Subsidiary REIT Charter will also be deemed to be an OP Redemption Notice. The Partners further acknowledge and agree that, as a result of the redemption provisions contained in the respective Governing Documents of the Participating Partnerships, the Parent REIT and the Subsidiary REIT, any redemption notice delivered by a Fund Limited Partner to a Participating Partnership automatically will also be deemed to result in a redemption notice being delivered to the Subsidiary REIT. Accordingly, the Partners agree that any redemption notice delivered by a Fund Limited Partner to the respective Participating Partnership in which it is a limited partner shall be deemed to result in an OP Redemption Notice from the Subsidiary REIT being received by the General Partner on the date such underlying redemption notice was delivered to the Fund General Partner of the applicable Participating Partnership and to be for a number of Common Units equivalent to the interests in the Participating Partnership subject to such notice.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Fund Limited Partner shall not have the right to send a redemption notice to the Participating Partnership in which it is a partner until the later to occur of: (i) the second anniversary of the Initial Closing or (ii) such time as the Fund Limited Partner in question has contributed the full amount of its Fund Capital Commitment to the Participating Partnership in which it is a limited partner (or such Fund Capital Commitment has expired because the Initial Investment Period has ended).

 

- 35 -


(e) The Regency Partner (or any Affiliate of the Regency Partner that owns Common Units) shall not have a Redemption Right unless the Regency Investment Percentage is equal to or greater than the Regency Required Investment, in which case the Regency Partner (or any Affiliate of the Regency Partner that owns Common Units) shall have the right to have Common Units or units in the Fund Partnership or a Feeder Partnership redeemed until the Regency Investment Percentage is equal to the Regency Required Investment, provided that any accompanying redemption from the Subsidiary REIT does not jeopardize the Subsidiary REIT’s status as a REIT. Subject to the preceding sentence, to the extent that the Regency Investment Percentage exceeds the Regency Required Investment during the Initial Investment Period, the General Partner shall have the right to use Capital Contributions received by the Partnership from the Subsidiary REIT in response to a Capital Call Notice to redeem the Regency Partner or an Affiliate during the Initial Investment Period, to the extent of such excess.

(f) Subject to the Regency Partner’s rights pursuant to Section 12.4, upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Redemption Right of all Partners shall terminate and all outstanding OP Redemption Notices shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

(g) To the extent of the availability of Cash Flow and Capital Contributions (provided that such availability shall be determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, and that such determination may take into account Operating Expenses, debt payments, applicable restrictions under debt instruments, investments to which the Partnership is directly or indirectly committed, anticipated strategic acquisitions to maintain the value of the Partnership’s portfolio or capital expenditures and reserves) as of the end of any calendar quarter, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make payments to redeem Common Units (in whole or by means of one or more partial payments) which are the subject of an effective OP Redemption Notice. Notwithstanding the General Partner’s discretion to determine the availability of Cash Flow and Capital Contributions with which to make redemptions set forth in the preceding sentence, if any election to redeem Common Units pursuant to an effective OP Redemption Notice has been outstanding for more than one hundred eighty (180) days following the OP Redemption Notice Effective Date, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to take the actions described in Section 9.2(j) to satisfy outstanding redemption requests. In any calendar quarter in which the General Partner determines that there is insufficient Cash Flow to redeem all Common Units subject to outstanding effective OP Redemption Notices, redemptions shall be made from all requesting Partners pro rata based on the number of Common Units subject to outstanding effective OP Redemption Notices (without regard to the date of the OP Redemption Notices, other than for purposes of determining the effectiveness thereof). The General Partner shall make the determination as to the availability of Cash Flow for redemptions for each calendar quarter in which there are effective outstanding OP Redemption Notices as of the end of such calendar quarter, and the redemption of a Common Unit will be deemed effective as of the end of the calendar quarter as of which the General Partner determines pursuant to the preceding sentence that sufficient Cash Flow or Capital Contributions are available for its redemption (such calendar quarter end, the “Redemption Date” for such Common Unit). With respect to any Common Units subject to outstanding effective OP Redemption Notices that the Partnership does not redeem due to insufficient Cash Flow or Capital Contributions for the calendar quarter specified in such OP Redemption Notice, such Common Units will remain subject to the applicable OP Redemption Notice, and such OP Redemption Notice will remain outstanding and effective until the Partnership has redeemed such Common Units, or, if earlier, the occurrence of a Liquidating Event.

 

- 36 -


(h) The redemption price per Common Unit to be redeemed from any Partner shall be equal to (i) the Net Asset Value Per Unit of the Partnership calculated as of the applicable Redemption Date, less (ii) the amount of any distribution made after the applicable Redemption Date with respect to such Common Unit pursuant to Section 4.1 with respect to the calendar quarter in which the Redemption Date occurs. After the Partnership has made the final payment towards the redemption price on redeemed Common Units held by a Partner, such Partner shall not be treated as a Partner with respect to such Common Units. For purposes of Section 3 and Section 4, a Partner that has Common Units redeemed pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be deemed to have had such Common Units redeemed as of the applicable Redemption Date. Such Partner will not be allocated Profits, Losses or any other Partnership items with respect to such Common Units attributable to the period beginning after such Redemption Date. With respect to such Common Units, such Partner shall not be entitled to receive distributions under Section 4.1 with respect to calendar quarters beginning after such Redemption Date, but such Partner shall be entitled to receive any distribution paid with respect to the calendar quarter in which the Redemption Date occurs that is paid after the Redemption Date.

(i) The Partnership shall make payments to redeem Common Units as soon as practicable following the applicable Redemption Date for such Common Units and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days following the determination of Net Asset Value Per Unit as of such Redemption Date. In connection with any redemptions hereunder, the redeeming Partners shall execute such documents and agreements as the General Partner shall reasonably request.

(j) Subject to the next sentence, in no event will the Partnership be obligated to sell or finance, or cause to be sold or financed, Partnership assets in order to satisfy any requests for redemption; provided, however, that the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cause Partnership assets to be sold or financed in order to satisfy redemption requests. If as of the 180th day following the OP Redemption Notice Effective Date relating to a redemption request set forth in an OP Redemption Notice the Partnership has not fully satisfied the redemption request, the General Partner will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell, finance or refinance properties or otherwise borrow funds in order to achieve the liquidity needed to redeem all Common Units subject to then outstanding effective OP Redemption Notices, and thereafter, the General Partner will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts until all such redemption requests have been satisfied. In no event, however, will the Partnership be required: (i) to sell more than ten percent (10%) of the Partnership’s gross asset value (as determined at the end of the one hundred eighty (180) days following the OP Redemption Notice Effective Date) within any four consecutive quarters; (ii) to take any action that would compromise the integrity of the Partnership’s portfolio, including incurring borrowings not in compliance with the Partnership’s Leverage Policy, taking into account relevant factors, such as the portfolio’s diversity by market and retail segment, geography and tenant credit; (iii) to sell any asset under extraordinary, unfavorable market conditions; or (iv) to sell any asset within four (4) years of the acquisition of such asset by the Partnership or if such sale might reasonably be expected to risk the Parent REIT or Subsidiary REIT’s status as a REIT or result in the Parent REIT or Subsidiary REIT engaging in any “prohibited transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The

 

- 37 -


foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2(j) shall not be construed as to provide any superior, preferential or prior right to the redemption of Common Units by Partners whose redemption requests have not been satisfied as of the 180th day following the Redemption Notice Effective Date related thereto.

(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no redemption will be made by the Partnership if as a result thereof the Parent REIT or Subsidiary REIT would cease to qualify as a REIT.

9.3 Redemptions of Preferred Units. In the event that the Parent REIT or the Subsidiary REIT elects to redeem any or all of the Parent REIT Preferred Shares or Subsidiary REIT Preferred Shares in such entity, respectively, the Partnership shall redeem a number of Preferred Units held by the Parent REIT or the Subsidiary REIT, as applicable, equal to the number of Parent REIT Preferred Shares or Subsidiary REIT Preferred Shares redeemed by such entity. Each Preferred Unit shall be redeemed for an amount of cash equal to the sum of (a) $1,000, plus (b) the per Preferred Unit Redemption Premium due as of such date, plus (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the balance outstanding in such entity’s Preferred Return Account as of the date of the redemption, and the denominator of which is the number of Preferred Units held by such entity immediately prior to the redemption, plus (d) in the case of a redemption of all of the Preferred Units of the Parent REIT or the Subsidiary REIT, the outstanding balance in such entity’s Preferred REIT Maintenance Account. The redemption shall occur on the same date that the Parent REIT or the Subsidiary REIT, as applicable, redeems the Parent REIT Preferred Shares or Subsidiary REIT Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Redemption Date”). After a Preferred Redemption Date, the Parent REIT or Subsidiary REIT, as applicable, shall no longer be entitled to distributions with respect to the Preferred Units redeemed, and the return thereon will cease to accrue.

SECTION 10

PRESERVATION OF REIT STATUS

The Partners acknowledge that (i) each of the Subsidiary REIT and the Parent REIT intends to qualify at all times as a REIT and (ii) the ability of the Subsidiary REIT and the Parent REIT to qualify as REITs will depend upon the nature of the Partnership’s operations. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to be operated at all times in a manner that will enable the Subsidiary REIT and the Parent REIT to satisfy all of the REIT rules of the Code and avoid the imposition of any federal income or excise tax liability. The Partnership shall avoid taking any action that would result in the Subsidiary REIT or the Parent REIT ceasing to satisfy any of the REIT rules of the Code or would result in the imposition of any federal income or excise tax liability on the Subsidiary REIT or the Parent REIT. The Partners further acknowledge that the Subsidiary REIT and the Parent REIT shall be entitled to receive information regarding the Capital Account balances of the Partners, the Partnership’s items of income, gain, deduction and loss, and such other information regarding the operations of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries as is necessary to permit each of the Subsidiary REIT and the Parent REIT to properly report and allocate to its respective shareholders its allocable share of the Partnership’s items of income, gain, deduction and loss in compliance

 

- 38 -


with its organizational documents and the REIT rules of the Code. The Partners acknowledge that the Subsidiary REIT and the Parent REIT are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.

SECTION 11

DUTIES; LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Duties of the General Partner. The General Partner shall act, and shall cause Regency or any of its Affiliates that perform services on behalf of the Partnership to act, in good faith in the best interests of the Partnership and with the care an ordinarily prudent institutional real estate advisor or service provider, as applicable, in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, and the General Partner shall not take any action or fail to take any action or cause or permit Regency or any such Affiliate of Regency to take any action or fail to take any action, which action or failure to act would constitute Disabling Conduct.

11.2 Other Activities. Each Partner, including each of the General Partner, the Limited Partners and each Affiliate of each Partner may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the other Governing Documents and the establishment and existence of the Partnership, engage in whatever activities such Person may choose, whether such activities are competitive or comparable with the activities of the Partnership or otherwise.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Exculpated Person shall, in the performance of his, her or its duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Fund and upon information, opinions, reports or statements presented to such Person by any of the Fund General Partners or by any other Person

as to matters such Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Fund, any of the Fund General Partners or their respective Affiliates. Any termination of this Agreement or amendment to this Section 11.3 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an Exculpated Person existing at the time of such termination or amendment.

11.4 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law:

(a) The Partnership (and any receiver, liquidator, or trustee of, or successor to, the Partnership) shall indemnify and hold harmless each Exculpated Person from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, proceedings, investigations (internal or otherwise), costs, expenses, and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of defense, appeal, and settlement of any and all suits, actions and proceedings involving such Exculpated Person and all costs of investigation (internal or otherwise) in connection therewith) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Exculpated Person in any way relating to or arising out of, or in connection with, or alleged to relate to or arise out of, or in connection with any action or inaction on the part of such Exculpated Person that relates in any way to the Fund or the business or assets thereof; provided, however, that the indemnification obligations in this Section 11.4(a) shall not apply to the portion of any liability, loss, obligation, damage, penalty, cost, expense or disbursement that results from (i) Disabling Conduct (except in the case of members of the Advisory Council, who shall be indemnified regardless of Disabling Conduct) or (ii) any suit, claim or proceeding brought by or on behalf of any Fund Entity against any Exculpated Person (other than a member of the Advisory Council), unless and until it is finally judicially determined (not subject to appeal) that such Exculpated Person is not liable to any such Fund Entity with respect to such suit, claim or proceeding or upon the dismissal or withdrawal of such suit, claim or proceeding.

(b) The Partnership shall pay expenses as they are incurred by any Exculpated Person in connection with any action, claim, or proceeding that the Exculpated Person asserts in good faith to be subject to the indemnification obligations set forth herein, upon receipt of an undertaking from the Exculpated Person to repay all amounts so paid by the Partnership to the extent that it is finally judicially determined (not subject to appeal) that the Exculpated Person is not entitled to be indemnified therefor under the terms hereof.

(c) If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses hereunder is not paid in full within ten days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Partnership, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Partnership shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under this Agreement.

(d) If for any reason (other than the Disabling Conduct of such Exculpated Person other than an Advisory Council Member) the indemnification set forth in Section 11.4(a) is unavailable to such Exculpated Person, or is insufficient to hold such Exculpated Person harmless, in respect of any losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities referred to in Section 11.4(a), then the Partnership shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Exculpated Person as a result of such loss, claim, cost, damage, or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Fund on the one hand and such

Exculpated Person harmless, in respect of any losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities referred to in Section 11.4(a), then the Partnership shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Exculpated Person as a result of such loss, claim, cost, damage, or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Fund on the one hand and such Exculpated Person on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the Fund and such Exculpated Person, as well as any relevant equitable considerations.

(e) The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Partnership under this Section 11.4 shall be in addition to any liability which the Partnership may otherwise have and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs, and personal representatives of the Partnership and each Exculpated Person. Any termination of this Agreement or amendment to this Section 11.4 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an Exculpated Person existing at the time of such termination or amendment.

(f) The indemnification to be provided by the Partnership hereunder shall be paid only from the assets of the Partnership.

(g) The General Partner shall have power, on behalf of and at the expense of the Partnership, to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Exculpated Persons against any liability asserted against or incurred by them in any such capacity or arising out of any such Exculpated Person’s status as the General Partner, the Parent REIT, the Subsidiary REIT, the Fund Partnership, the Feeder Partnerships, the Fund General Partners, any of their respective Affiliates, any member of the Advisory Council or a director, officer, shareholder, partner, member or employee, trustee, representative or agent of any of them, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify the such Exculpated Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 12

DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP

12.1 Liquidating Events. The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional limited partners, by the admission of a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or by the Incapacity of any Limited Partner. Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any remaining General Partner and any successor General Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership as provided herein. The Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, only upon the first to occur of any of the following (each a “Liquidating Event”):

(a) an election made by the General Partner to dissolve the Partnership;

(b) the removal of any Fund General Partner upon a For Cause Termination Event;

 

- 41 -


(c) the removal of any Fund General Partner without a For Cause Termination Event;

(d) the withdrawal of the General Partner from the Partnership or the dissolution of the General Partner other than in connection with a Transfer permitted under Section 9.1;

(e) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Properties and other assets of the Partnership; or

(f) entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act.

12.2 Winding Up.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, satisfying the claims of its creditors, and distributing its remaining assets to the Partners. In connection with the liquidation or winding up of the Partnership, the General Partner may, among other things, cause a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership to a third party, without any approval of the Limited Partners. During the period commencing on the date on which a Liquidating Event occurs and ending on the date on which the assets of the Partnership are distributed pursuant to this Section 12.2(a), Profits and Losses and other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction shall continue to be allocated in the manner provided in Section 3 hereof. No Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs. The General Partner or, if the General Partner has withdrawn or otherwise been removed from the Partnership, any Person (the “Liquidating Trustee”) designated with the approval of the Fund Limited Partners shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership. The General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, shall conduct such winding up over such period of time as the General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee determines to be in the best interests of the Partners. The assets of the Partnership shall be liquidated by the General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(i) First, to creditors, including Partners who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of liabilities of the Partnership (whether by payment or by making of reasonable provision for payment) other than liabilities for distribution to Partners on account of their respective interests in the Partnership;

(ii) Second, to the holders of Preferred Units, in the amount of (i) $1,000 multiplied by the number of Preferred Units outstanding at the time of the Liquidating Event, plus (ii) if the Liquidating Event occurs before the Redemption Premium right expires, the per Unit Redemption Premium in effect on the date of the Liquidating Event (items (i) and (ii), the “Liquidation Preference”); and

 

- 42 -


(iii) The balance, if any, to the Partners as provided in Section 4.1. The Regency Partner may be entitled to receive the distribution owed to some or all of its Common Units through an in-kind distribution in accordance with Section 12.4.

(b) The General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee, in its sole discretion, may elect not to pay the holders of Preferred Units the sums due pursuant to Section 12.2(a)(ii) immediately upon a Liquidation Event but instead choose to first distribute such amounts as may be due to the holders of the Common Units hereunder. If the General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee elects to exercise this option pursuant to this section, the General Partner or the Liquidating Trustee shall first establish a reserve in an amount equal to not less than 200% of all amounts owed to the holders of the Preferred Units pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, in the event that the Partnership elects to establish a reserve for payment of the Liquidation Preference, the Preferred Units shall remain outstanding until the holders thereof are paid the full Liquidation Preference, which payment shall be made no later than immediately prior to the Partnership making its final liquidating distribution on the Common Units. In the event that the Redemption Premium in effect on the payment date is less than the Redemption Premium on the date that the Liquidation Preference was set apart for payment, the Partnership may make a corresponding reduction to the funds set apart for payment of the Liquidation Preference.

12.3 Right of First Refusal Upon Removal Without Cause. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.2 hereof which require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event pursuant to Section 12.1(c), the Regency Partner shall have a right of first refusal to acquire any Property owned by the Partnership or a Subsidiary (the “Right of First Refusal”). If, at any time after the occurrence of a Liquidating Event pursuant to Section 12.1(c), the General Partner or Liquidating Trustee shall receive a bona fide offer (an “Offer”) from any person or entity for the purchase of any Property, and if the General Partner or Liquidating Trustee desires to accept such Offer, then the General Partner or Liquidating Trustee shall submit written notice of such fact to the Regency Partner, setting forth all of the terms and conditions of such Offer, including copies of all written offers and agreements relating to the Offer (the “ROFR Notice”). The Right of First Refusal shall be exercisable at any time within thirty (30) days from the date of the Regency Partner’s receipt of the ROFR Notice (the “Exercise Period”), to purchase the Property described in the Offer (the “Subject Property”), upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Offer. If the Regency Partner elects to exercise the Right of First Refusal, then it shall, prior to the end of the Exercise Period, submit written notice of such exercise to the General Partner or Liquidating Trustee, and the purchase of the Subject Property shall be closed on or before the date specified for closing in the Offer. If the Regency Partner shall not exercise such Right of First Refusal within the Exercise Period, then the General Partner or Liquidating Trustee shall be free to sell the Subject Property upon substantially the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the ROFR Notice, including the date specified for closing in the Offer. If the transaction contemplated by the Offer does not close in accordance with such Offer (or otherwise on terms not materially less favorable to the Partnership than the terms stated in the Offer) on or before the date specified for closing in the Offer, then the Right of First Refusal shall be restored and the Right of First Refusal shall apply with respect to any future sale of the Subject Property, and the General Partner or Liquidating Trustee shall not thereafter sell the Subject Property to any person or entity without again complying with the requirements of the Right of First Refusal.

12.4 Distribution In-Kind Upon Removal Without Cause.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.2 hereof which require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event pursuant to Section 12.1(c), the Regency Partner may, in its discretion, elect to redeem all or a portion of its Common Units and any units in other Fund entities which comprise the Regency Interest (the “In-Kind Redemption Units”) and receive the redemption price payable with respect to such In-Kind Redemption Units (calculated in accordance with this Section 12.4(a)) in the form of an in-kind distribution of Properties. The amount that the Regency Partner elects to receive pursuant to this Section 12.4 shall be referred to as the “In-Kind Distribution.” To the extent that the Regency Partner elects to redeem units in a Participating Partnership as part of the In-Kind Distribution, the holder of such units shall be deemed to have sent a redemption notice to such Participating Partnership, with instructions that rather than redeeming the units for cash, the units should be redeemed through the In-Kind Redemption provisions of the Partnership. The aggregate redemption price payable to the Regency Partner with respect to the In-Kind Redemption Units (the “In-Kind Redemption Price”) shall be equal to the number of In-Kind Redemption Units multiplied by the Net Asset Value Per Unit as of the date of redemption (calculated in accordance with Section 12.4(b)). The redemption of the In-Kind Redemption Units will be deemed effective as of the completion of the In-Kind Distribution and shall occur to the extent reasonably possible prior to any sale of the Partnership’s assets not distributed to the Regency Partner as part of the In-Kind Distribution.

(b) Upon the Regency Partner’s election to receive an In-Kind Distribution pursuant to Section 12.4(a), the Regency Partner and the Advisory Council shall jointly select an Independent Valuation Firm to conduct an appraisal of the Partnership’s Properties and the Advisory Council shall select an independent consultant (the “In-Kind Distribution Consultant”) to advise it and make Property selections on behalf of the Limited Partners (other than Regency). A copy of all appraisals shall be provided to the Fund Limited Partners, the In-Kind Distribution Consultant and the Partnership’s independent accountants. The Regency Partner will then determine the Established Net Value of each Property, subject to the approval of the Independent Valuation Firm. The Established Net Value of all of the Properties held by the Partnership plus (A) (i) the value of the Partnership’s Temporary Investments and (ii) the carrying value of all other assets of the Partnership and minus (B) the In-Kind Distribution Costs (or estimated In-Kind Distribution Costs, to the extent that such costs have not been finally ascertained) collectively shall be the “Liquidation Value.” The Regency Partner will then determine the In-Kind Redemption Price; provided, however, that for purposes of such calculations (including, without limitation, for purposes of determining the Net Asset Value Per Unit), the “Net Asset Value” shall be equal to the Liquidation Value. The Regency Partner shall promptly provide copies of all such determinations by the Regency Partner and approvals of the Independent Valuation Firm to the Advisory Council, the In-Kind Distribution Consultant and the Partnership’s independent accountants. For purposes of calculating the Established Net Value of any Property and the Liquidation Value, the Independent Valuation Firm shall determine whether assets and liabilities created by new Statement of Financial Accounting Standards or changes to existing Statement of Financial Accounting Standards are appropriately included in the assets and liabilities of the Partnership.

 

- 44 -


(c) Within 30 days after the determination of the Established Net Value of each Property and the Liquidation Value, the Regency Partner and the In-Kind Distribution Consultant shall meet at the Partnership’s offices in Jacksonville, Florida, or at any other location mutually acceptable to the Regency Partner and the In-Kind Distribution Consultant, for the purpose of determining which Properties will be distributed to the Regency Partner as its In-Kind Distribution. At such meeting, the Regency Partner and the In-Kind Distribution Consultant shall alternately select, with the party making the first selection determined at random, individual Properties that are to be distributed to the Regency Partner or retained and sold by the Partnership, with the In-Kind Distribution Consultant making three selections for each one selection made by the Regency Partner. Each party will select Properties by drawing names of Properties using a random selection method mutually agreed upon by the Regency Partner and the In Kind Distribution Consultant. The parties shall continue to select Properties in this manner until such time as the Regency Partner has selected Properties (the “Designated Properties”) with aggregate Established Net Values not to exceed 110% of the In-Kind Distribution. In the event that the aggregate Established Net Values of the Designated Properties exceed the amount of the In-Kind Distribution, the Regency Partner shall make a cash contribution to the Partnership upon the closing of the transfer of the Designated Properties equal to such excess in restoration of the negative balance in its Capital Account that would otherwise result. All costs of the In-Kind Distribution Consultant, the Independent Appraiser and the Appraisals (the “In-Kind Distribution Costs”) shall be paid by the Partnership.

(d) In connection with the process for determining the Established Net Value of each Property described in Section 12.4(b), the Regency Partner shall provide to the Advisory Council and the Independent Valuation Firm such information as is customarily required by commercial appraisers of properties similar to each Property, including, without limitation, operating statements showing operating revenues and expenses with respect to such Property, and shall also provide the Independent Valuation Firm and the Advisory Council with such additional materials as the Independent Valuation Firm may request and which is reasonably available to the Regency Partner without incurring material additional costs.

(e) Within thirty (30) days after the completion of the selection of the Designated Properties described in Section 12.4(c), the Designated Properties shall be distributed to the Regency Partner. The Designated Properties shall be conveyed by a special warranty deed or other customary deed in the locale of the Designated Property, bill of sale, assignment of leases and any other customary instruments of conveyance. Prorations shall be handled in a manner similar to arms’ length transactions between third parties in the jurisdiction in which the property is located.

12.5 Negative Capital Accounts. Except as provided in Section 12.4(c), no Partner with a deficit balance in its Capital Account shall have any obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.

 

- 45 -


12.6 Technical Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12, in the event the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Liquidating Event has occurred, such liquidation shall not cause a dissolution of the Partnership for purposes of the Act and the Partnership’s assets shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up.

12.7 Rights of Partners. Each Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital Contribution. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall have priority over any other Partner as to the return of its Capital Contribution, distributions, or allocations.

12.8 Notice of Dissolution. Upon the dissolution and the completion of winding up of the Partnership, the General Partner (or, in the event there is no General Partner, any Liquidating Trustee designated pursuant to Section 12.2(a) hereof) shall promptly execute and cause to be filed a certificate of termination in accordance with the Act and appropriate instruments under the laws of any other states or jurisdictions in which the Partnership has engaged in business.

13.15 Confidentiality.

(a) Except as may be required by law or valid subpoena or other lawful process, the failure to comply with which would subject the respective Limited Partner to damages or judicial or administrative censure or contempt (or as may be required in connection with an examination or audit of a Limited Partner by any governmental agencies having regulatory jurisdiction over a Limited Partner), each Limited Partner shall maintain in strict confidence, and shall not disclose to any Person (other than the General Partner, or another Limited Partner, or its or their respective advisors, each of whom shall be bound by this Section 13.15), any and all material, nonpublic information concerning the operations, business, or affairs of the Partnership, the Parent REIT, the Subsidiary REIT, the Fund Partnership, the Feeder Partnerships, any Affiliate of the foregoing Persons or any Fund Limited Partner (“Confidential Information”). Each Limited Partner that is subject by law to requirements of public access and disclosure and/or regulatory review shall nonetheless endeavor by all legally permissive means reasonably available to it (other than the obligation to engage in legal proceedings) to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information. If any Limited Partner is compelled by law, regulation, subpoena, legal process or other demand to which such Limited Partner believes it is legally obligated to comply, to disclose any Confidential Information, such Limited Partner shall use its best efforts to give prompt notice of such fact to the General Partner so that the General Partner may, if it desires, seek a protective order or other governmental or judicial relief to prevent disclosure of such information.

Other than the Fund Limited Partners and as specifically set forth in Section 11.3 and Section 11.4 hereof, this Agreement is exclusively for the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns and this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer upon or give to any other third party any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right.

13.17 Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery or other state or federal court in the State of Delaware, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the relations between the parties and any matter, action or transaction described in this Agreement, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, (ii) agrees that such courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over such actions or proceedings, (iii) waives the defense that Delaware is an inconvenient forum to the maintenance and continuation of such action or proceeding, (iv) consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies (postage prepaid, registered mail (airmail internationally)) of such process to them at their addresses specified in Section 13.1 and (v) agrees that a final and non-appealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Exhibit B

Exclusivity Agreement

[to be attached]


Exhibit C

Allocation Policy

In order to minimize the potential for conflicts of interest in the allocation of acquisition opportunities among entities in which Regency has an economic interest, Regency has established certain operating policies, including a rotation system for the allocation of acquisition opportunities. In the event that Regency or any of its Affiliates has an opportunity to acquire a community shopping center that would qualify as an Acquisition Opportunity (whether the seller is Regency, a Regency-managed joint venture or an unaffiliated third party) for the Fund and would also satisfy the investment criteria of other investment vehicles with capital available to invest, Regency will offer every other non-grocery anchored Acquisition Opportunity to the Fund and every fourth grocery-anchored Acquisition Opportunity to the Fund. In the event that the community shopping center in question would qualify as an Acquisition Opportunity for the Fund but would not also satisfy the investment criteria of any other investment vehicle with capital available to invest, Regency will offer the community shopping center to the Fund and such offer will not be considered an allocation under the general rotation system. Exceptions to the general rotation system will be made in the following circumstances: (i) a transaction necessary to satisfy Code Section 1031 exchange requirements; (ii) a tax deferred asset contribution in which a property owner contributes property to the Regency Centers, L.P. in exchange for limited partnership units in Regency Centers, L.P.; and (iii) situations in which Regency or any of its affiliates is issuing equity or other securities or in which legal, regulatory, tax or other impediments cannot be eliminated or substantially mitigated on a commercially reasonable basis without imposition of material additional costs on Regency, the Fund or other investment vehicles, including an acquisition by Regency of a portfolio of properties or an entity that holds interests in a portfolio of properties where there are such impediments to severing the portfolio or otherwise transferring individual properties (including impediments to allocating relative valuation and risks within the portfolio) or where the Fund does not have sufficient capital to acquire the entire portfolio or entity.


Exhibit D

Fund Leverage Policy

The Fund may acquire a Property subject to existing financing or may incur secured or unsecured indebtedness at the Property level, Property-owning entity level, Partnership level or the Subsidiary REIT level (including the potential establishment of a credit facility) (such debt collectively, the “Fund Indebtedness”) if the General Partner believes it is appropriate, so long as it complies with this Leverage Policy. The Fund may not incur Fund Indebtedness that would cause the aggregate principal amount of the Fund Indebtedness to exceed, immediately after such incurrence of debt, 60% of the Gross Asset Value of the Fund’s Properties, without obtaining the consent of the Advisory Council pursuant to Section 5.5(d). For example, if immediately after an incurrence of Fund Indebtedness, the Fund has assets with a Gross Asset Value of $400 million, the Fund Indebtedness, including the new borrowing, could not exceed $240 million unless the Advisory Council consented to the transaction pursuant to Section 5.5(d). For the purpose of calculating the aggregate principal amount of the Fund Indebtedness and the Gross Asset Value of the Fund’s Properties, Fund Indebtedness and Fund Properties held through subsidiaries and joint ventures will be determined by reference to the Fund’s share of those items under the relevant venture agreements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund may incur Fund Indebtedness that causes the aggregate principal amount of the Fund Indebtedness to exceed 60% of the Gross Asset Value of the Fund’s Properties immediately after the incurrence of such new Fund Indebtedness without obtaining the consent of the Advisory Council pursuant to Section 5.5(d) if: (i) the transaction that causes the aggregate principal amount of the Fund Indebtedness to exceed 60% of the Gross Asset Value of the Fund’s Properties immediately after the incurrence of such Fund Indebtedness is a refinancing of the principal amount of any existing Fund Indebtedness (together with refinancing transaction costs and, to the extent required by the lender as a condition to obtaining such refinancing, anticipated tenant improvements, lease commissions and other project related costs to be funded from such refinancing) or (ii) the Fund Indebtedness does not exceed 60% of the Gross Asset Value of the Fund’s Properties for more than two consecutive calendar quarters and during such time the Fund Indebtedness at no time exceeds 65% of the Gross Asset Value of the Fund’s Properties.

In addition to the foregoing, Fund Indebtedness must meet the following criteria:

 

1. No Fund Indebtedness may be incurred if, at the time of incurrence, such incurrence would cause more than 20% of the outstanding Fund Indebtedness to have a floating or adjustable interest rate (including the newly incurred Fund Indebtedness). If floating rate Fund Indebtedness has been hedged to effectively have a fixed rate, it shall not be considered to have a floating or adjustable interest rate for purposes of calculating this item 1 for the period the hedge is in effect.

 

2. No Fund Indebtedness may be participating or otherwise entitle the provider of the Fund Indebtedness to any share of or interest based upon the amount of revenue or cash flow, property value or appreciation or other measure of performance of all or any part of the Fund’s assets.


3. No Fund Indebtedness may (a) be cross-collateralized other than within a Permitted Pool (as defined below), or otherwise (b) be structured such that a Property is collateral for a loan that is greater than a Permitted Pool. A “Permitted Pool” shall mean a loan of up to $250 million in principal amount.

 

4. No Fund Indebtedness may be cross-defaulted with any other Fund Indebtedness other than within a Permitted Pool.

 

5. No Fund Indebtedness may be recourse to the Fund Partnership, the Parent REIT, the Subsidiary REIT or any Feeder Partnership (except for (i) indebtedness with a term of not more than one year and (ii) such limited non-recourse “carve-outs” which may be required by an institutional lender and which do not impose recourse liability as to materially different matters or to a materially greater extent than such provisions for non-recourse carve-outs which are commonly required by institutional lenders in connection with similar financings at the time the subject Fund Indebtedness is put in place).

 

6. No Fund Indebtedness may be recourse to any Fund Limited Partner other than the Regency Partner.

 

7. After the date that is three (3) years from the date that any Fund Indebtedness is incurred, the subject Fund Indebtedness must permit (a) substitution of at least a portion of the underlying collateral (without cost or fee other than that which is commonly charged by institutional lenders in connection with similar financings at the time the subject Fund Indebtedness is put in place), subject to requirements as to the quality and value of the replacement collateral as are commonly required by institutional lenders in connection with similar financings at the time the subject Fund Indebtedness is put in place, or (b) defeasance or prepayment of all or a portion of such Fund Indebtedness and the release of the underlying collateral without premium or penalty other than customary defeasance expenses or yield maintenance and release premiums (i.e., a premium equivalent to a percentage of the remaining loan value). Whether Fund Indebtedness meets the criteria set forth in this item 7 shall be determined by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion.

 

8. All Fund Indebtedness must permit the Fund Limited Partners to exercise rights afforded under the Fund Governing Documents to remove any of the Fund General Partners without triggering mandatory prepayment of the Fund Indebtedness, subject to the reasonable consent of the lenders to any replacement general partner.

 

9. Neither Regency nor any of its Affiliates has any obligation to extend Fund Indebtedness to the Fund or to guarantee Fund Indebtedness incurred by the Fund. In the event that Regency or any of its Affiliates offers to extend Fund Indebtedness to the Fund, the incurrence of such Fund Indebtedness will be subject to the approval of the Advisory Council under Section 5.5(d) of this Agreement. Regency and its Affiliates may from time to time guarantee Fund Indebtedness or contribute assets with Fund Indebtedness in place (so long as such Fund Indebtedness is at or below market rates) at no incremental cost or expense to the Fund.


10. The restrictions and requirements set forth in items 1-9 above shall not apply to any promissory note issued to an ERISA Partner in connection with any permitted redemption or an ERISA Partner pursuant to the Fund Governing Documents.


Exhibit E

Valuation Policy

Each of the Fund’s Properties will be appraised or subject to an appraisal update annually by a nationally-recognized Member Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) appraisal firm approved by the Advisory Council as more particularly described herein (an “Independent Valuation Firm”). The appraisals and updates will be signed by an MAI appraiser and staggered on a quarterly basis throughout the year (allowing approximately 25% of the Fund’s portfolio to be appraised or updated each calendar quarter, such that each Property will be appraised annually). Any appraisals required under any Fund Governing Document or the Exclusivity Agreement will be a Full Narrative Appraisal (as defined below) and prepared by an Independent Valuation Firm and signed by an MAI appraiser.

To the extent that a Property was not appraised via a Full Narrative Appraisal in connection with its initial acquisition by the Fund, each such Property will receive a Full Narrative Appraisal during the first calendar quarter following its acquisition by the Fund. Each Property will join the annual valuation cycle within 12 months following its acquisition date. After a Property has received a Full Narrative Appraisal and has joined the annual valuation cycle, the appraised value of such Property will be updated annually via a Summary Appraisal Report as defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (“USPAP”) based on the income capitalization approach (including both the direct capitalization and discounted cash flow approaches) and sales comparison approach (and including a reconciliation between the two (2) approaches) and otherwise substantially similar in format and content to the sample appraisal attached hereto as Exhibit E-1. For purposes of the foregoing, a “Full Narrative Appraisal” shall appraise the value of a Property based on the income capitalization approach (including both the direct capitalization and discounted cash flow approaches), the sales comparison approach and the cost approach (and including a reconciliation between the three (3) approaches) and otherwise substantially similar in format and content to the sample appraisal attached hereto as Exhibit E-2. The Fund General Partners will use the appraised values and updated annual valuation for purposes of determining Gross Asset Value and Net Asset Value.

Qualifications of the Appraiser

Subject to the approval of the Advisory Council, the General Partner shall appoint one or more Independent Valuation Firms to conduct the appraisals. With respect to the appraisal of any particular Property, the General Partner may select among the Independent Valuation Firms using criteria including, but not limited to, the geographic location of the Property and the availability of any particular Independent Valuation Firm. The appraiser must be (a) an MAI appraiser employed by one of the Independent Valuation Firms and (b) suitably qualified to carry out such appraisals and at least one of the signatories to the valuation must have at least five (5) years appropriate experience. The appraiser must be authorized under the law of the state where the appraisal takes place to practice as an appraiser. The appraiser may have no pecuniary or other potential conflict of interest that could reasonably be regarded as being capable of affecting that person’s ability to give an unbiased opinion of the value of the property. The appraiser will


keep all non-public confidential information relating to an engagement with the Fund and the underlying transaction strictly confidential subject to requirements of law and rules of the Appraisal Institute. The appraiser’s report will confirm that the appraiser meets the above qualifications.

Appraisal Compliance

Each appraisal should be carried out in accordance with the guidelines and recommendations set forth in the USPAP and the requirements of the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute.

Inspection and Documentation

The valuation shall take into consideration the information provided from an inspection of the Property being valued as well as a review of (i) a schedule of current tenancies and operating expenses, (ii) a capital expenditure report, (iii) all leases and (iv) any other relevant information pertaining to the Property.

(b) The Investment Property that causes the Fund to exceed $225 million in aggregate contributed Investment Properties will be contributed at the value necessary to result in a weighted average capitalization rate of 6.5% for all of the Investment Properties that have been contributed as of that date (the “Initial Test Assets”), but not in an amount that would cause the aggregate contribution value of the Initial Test Assets to exceed the sum of their respective appraised values; and

(c) Thereafter, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, each Investment Property will be contributed at an amount equal to the gross fair market value of the Investment Property as determined by the appraisal submitted in the Investment Memorandum.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the calculation of the Gross Contribution Value of an Investment Property for purposes of the Portfolio Test, such value will be reduced or increased for prorations and closing costs to the extent credited or debited at Closing (as opposed to reconciled through a payment in cash) in accordance with this Agreement.

Operating Partnership Agreement” means the limited partnership agreement of RRP Operating, LP as in effect on the date hereof and as amended or supplemented from time to time.

Partially Qualifying Center” means a Development Asset that meets the gross leaseable area and occupancy tests set forth on subsections (b) and (c) of the definition of “Qualifying Center”, but which otherwise is not a Qualifying Center. Additionally, each asset comprising part of the Identified Development Pipeline shall be deemed a Partially Qualifying Center if it has satisfied the occupancy test set forth in subsection (c) of the definition of Qualifying Center.

Portfolio Test” is a calculation of the cumulative weighted average capitalization rate of the Fund’s Real Estate Assets. The Fund will be deemed to have “satisfied” the Portfolio Test if, at each time of calculation pursuant to Paragraph 1.2(d), the Fund’s Real Estate Assets (including

 

Page 4


(a) the Development Asset(s) proposed to be contributed at such time of calculation, (b) all Development Assets contributed to date (including the Initial Test Assets) and (c) all Acquisition Opportunities acquired to date (other than any acquired Acquisition Opportunities that had an initial capitalization rate of less than 6.7%) at the time of such acquisition) have a cumulative weighted average capitalization rate equal to or greater than the following capitalization rates:

 

Size of the Fund’s Portfolio

   Capitalization Rate
From the first Real Estate Asset after the Initial Test Assets until the Fund’s portfolio reaches $600 million in aggregate agreed value (excluding Acquisition Opportunities with less than a 6.7% capitalization rate)    6.6%
Greater than $600 million in aggregate agreed value (excluding Acquisition Opportunities with less than a 6.7% capitalization rate)    6.7%

The Portfolio Test shall be calculated on a cumulative, unleveraged basis and will be based on the net operating income and the agreed values of each Real Estate Asset as of its acquisition or contribution date. For purposes of calculating the Portfolio Test, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Agreed value” means (a) with respect to each Development Asset, the Gross Contribution Value attributable thereto, and (b) with respect to each acquired Acquisition Opportunity, the purchase price for such Acquisition Opportunity; provided, however, that the Agreed Value shall be increased, without duplication, by the amount of any (i) in the case of an Acquisition Opportunity or a Development Asset, capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions charged to or assumed by the Fund in connection with the contribution or acquisition of such Real Estate Asset, (ii) in the case of an Acquisition Opportunity only, closing and transaction costs borne by the Fund in connection with such acquisition and (iii) in the case of an Acquisition Opportunity only, financing fees and costs in connection with such acquisition, whether related to financing in place prior to the acquisition or incurred in connection with the initial financing of the Real Estate Asset by the Fund.

“Initial capitalization rate” means the net operating income at the acquisition or contribution date (or the pro rata portion thereof with respect to any property in which the Fund holds (directly and indirectly) less than a 100% ownership interest) divided by the Agreed value of the Real Estate Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, once the capitalization rate for each Agreed value is set at the date of each purchase or contribution the capitalization rate that applies to such purchase or contribution shall be deemed to have been fixed and shall not change.

“Net operating income” means the gross revenue less operating expenses, where “gross revenue” is defined as base rents from existing leases, for the twelve months ending after the Closing Date, plus expense reimbursement revenue and miscellaneous revenue, and “operating expenses” are defined as those estimated expenditures relating to

 

Page 5


property operations, excluding capital expenditures, for the twelve months ending after the Closing Date, in each case as reasonably estimated by Regency.

If the Advisory Council approves the acquisition of a Development Asset that causes the Fund not to meet the Portfolio Test pursuant to the Operating Partnership Agreement, that asset will be included in the Portfolio Test calculation for purposes of applying the Portfolio Test to future assets. If the Advisory Council approves the acquisition of an Acquisition Asset at a capitalization rate of less than 6.7% pursuant to the Operating Partnership Agreement, that asset will be excluded from the Portfolio Test calculation for purposes of applying the Portfolio Test to future assets. Acquisition Assets approved by the Advisory Council pursuant to the Operating Partnership Agreement at a capitalization rate of 6.7% or more will be included in the Portfolio Test calculation for purposes of applying the Portfolio Test to future assets.

Property Owning Entity” means the Person that owns directly an Investment Property which Person shall be wholly owned by a Contributor.

Qualifying Center” means a Development Asset which satisfies each of the following investment criteria:

(a) two or more anchor tenants, with at least 50% of the center’s total gross leaseable area being occupied by anchor tenants and Shadow Anchor Tenants;

(b) total gross leaseable area of at least 250,000 square feet (which gross leaseable area shall include the gross leaseable area of any Shadow Anchor Tenants);

(c) at least 95% of the Development Asset’s gross leaseable area to be owned by the Operating Partnership must be leased and occupied by tenants paying rent;

(d) a weighted average remaining lease term for anchor tenants (excluding Shadow Anchor Tenants) of at least ten years during which the tenants are required to pay rent (including exercised renewal terms);

(e) not located within three miles of a non-Operating Partnership owned Regency shopping center; and

(f) substantially all construction must be complete.

For purposes of this definition, “anchor tenants” include: (i) “super” or larger anchor stores, such as Wal-Mart, Target, The Home Depot and Lowe’s; (ii) “junior” or smaller anchor stores generally containing at least 10,000 square feet of gross leaseable area and typically including super drug stores, discount department stores and value-oriented big box retailers; and (iii) grocery stores, including traditional supermarket formats, such as Kroger or Publix, and also specialty food retailers, such as Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s and The Fresh Market. Additionally, each asset comprising part of the Identified Development Pipeline shall be deemed a Qualifying Center if it has satisfied all of the criteria set forth above, with the exception of the minimum gross leaseable area requirement set forth in subsection (b) above.

1.2 Contribution.

(a) Following the date on which a Development Asset becomes a Partially Qualifying Center or a Qualifying Center (but in no event later than twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date with respect to such Development Asset), the Regency Party that owns such Development Asset shall prepare and deliver an Investment Memorandum to the Advisory Council, in the case of a Partially Qualifying Center, or the Operating Partnership, in the case of a Qualifying Center, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 1.3 below and shall offer to contribute to the Operating Partnership the Development Asset in accordance with this Paragraph 1.2.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement:

(i) Regency shall offer and shall cause each of the Regency Parties to offer to contribute to the Operating Partnership any Development Asset that is a Qualifying Center, and the Operating Partnership shall accept for contribution each such Development Asset, unless the closing and financing costs associated with such asset exceed 1.45% of the Gross Contribution Value (without duplication of such closing and financing costs) of such Qualifying Center, in which case the Operating Partnership shall not be obligated to accept such Qualifying Center unless the Operating Partnership shall have received the prior approval of the Advisory Council. The General Partner shall determine, in its sole discretion whether and to which Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership the Development Asset is to be contributed. Additionally, Regency shall offer and shall cause each of the Regency Parties to offer to contribute to the Operating Partnership any Development Asset that is a Partially Qualifying Center, but the Operating Partnership shall not be obligated to accept such Partially Qualifying Center unless the Operating Partnership shall have received the prior approval of the Advisory Council.

 

Page 7


(ii) Regency shall, and shall cause each applicable Regency Party to, use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each Development Asset becomes a Qualifying Center.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) no Regency Party shall be required to offer any Development Asset to the Operating Partnership if:

(A) the appraised value of the Development Asset is less than its capitalized development cost calculated in accordance with GAAP;

(B) the Development Asset has been developed by such Regency Party on a fee basis specifically for purchase by a third-party;

(C) the Development Asset is owned in a joint venture with a third party that is unwilling to consent to its contribution to the Operating Partnership on terms reasonably acceptable to Regency and in the best interest of the Operating Partnership, provided, however, that the exception under this clause (C) shall be available in the case of a Financial Partner only if (1) the Development Asset has total development costs in excess of $75 million or (2) Regency obtained the opportunity to develop the Development Asset through such Financial Partner;

(D) the Development Asset is a Non-Strategic Asset;

(E) in the reasonable estimation of Regency, there exists a material contractual, legal or tax impediment to conveying the Development Asset to the Operating Partnership that cannot be eliminated or substantially mitigated on a commercially reasonable basis without the imposition of material additional costs to the applicable Regency Party or the Operating Partnership;

(F) the Operating Partnership does not have sufficient Available Capital to acquire such Development Asset.

(ii) Regency shall notify the Advisory Council if, with respect to any Development Asset it is otherwise required to offer to the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Paragraph 1.2, any of the Contributor’s Warranties (as defined below), if made by the Contributor with respect to the Investment Property related to such Development Property, would be untrue. In such event, the Operating Partnership shall not be required to accept any such Development Asset (it being understood that the Operating Partnership may accept such a Development Asset upon approval of the Advisory Council; provided, however, that the Contributor shall not be required to make any such representations and warranties which, if made, would be untrue). If the Advisory Council does not approve accepting such Development Asset without any such representation and warranty that if made would be untrue, Regency shall not be required to offer or to cause the Contributor to contribute such Development Asset to the Fund or the Operating Partnership, subject to the last sentence of Paragraph 1.2(d) below.

 

Page 8


(iii) Regency shall notify the Advisory Council of its intention to sell any Non-Strategic Asset and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such asset to a party other than Regency or any other Regency Party, as soon as practical thereafter.

(d) Notwithstanding Paragraph 1.2(b)(i) above, in no event shall the Operating Partnership be obligated to accept any Development Asset that is a Qualifying Center if (i) after all Initial Test Assets have been accepted, accepting such Development Asset would result in the Operating Partnership not meeting the Portfolio Test or if the Operating Partnership is not in compliance with the Portfolio Test at the Closing Date or (ii) the Operating Partnership does not have sufficient Available Capital. In the event that the Portfolio Test is not or will not be satisfied upon contribution of a Development Asset or in the event that any representation or warranty required under the Contribution Agreement would be untrue, Regency shall be still be required to offer to contribute or cause the applicable Regency Party to offer to contribute such Development Asset to the Operating Partnership. In connection with such offer, the Regency Party shall give the Operating Partnership written notice of such offer, which notice will include an Investment Memorandum with respect to such Development Asset. The General Partner will promptly deliver such notice, together with a Development Investment Memorandum, to each member of the Advisory Council. Within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such Development Investment Memorandum by the Advisory Council, the Operating Partnership shall reply by written notice to the Regency Party whether or not the Advisory Council has approved the acquisition of the Development Asset. If within the fifteen (15) business day period the Operating Partnership has replied by written notice that the Advisory Council has approved the acquisition of the Development Asset by the Operating Partnership, the Regency Party shall enter into a Contribution Agreement and contribute the Development Asset to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership shall acquire such Development Asset on terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement and the Contribution Agreement. If the Operating Partnership fails to deliver any notice to the Regency Party within such fifteen (15) business day period or states in a notice that it has no interest in the acquisition of such Development Asset, then the Regency Party shall be free to sell or otherwise transfer such Development Asset to any Person at a price equal to or in excess of ninety-seven percent (97%) of the price offered to the Operating Partnership and otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions offered to the Operating Partnership. If the Regency Party shall propose to sell or transfer such Development Asset at less than ninety-seven percent (97%) of such price or on other terms and conditions materially more favorable to the buyer than the terms and conditions offered to the Operating Partnership, then the Regency Party shall not sell or transfer such property at such price or on other terms and conditions materially more favorable than the terms and conditions offered to the Operating Partnership without first re-offering such Development Asset to the Operating Partnership in accordance with the procedures in this Paragraph 1.2(d).

1.3 Submittal to the Operating Partnership.

(a) With respect to Development Assets, the Contributor shall prepare and deliver to the Operating Partnership an investment memorandum relating to each Investment Property that demonstrates that each such Investment Property is a Qualifying Center (or a Partially Qualifying Center, as applicable). The Contributor shall include with such investment memorandum such information or documentation that supports such determination, in the

(c) The Contributor or Subsidiary REIT, as applicable, shall make no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of any portion of an Investment Memorandum that is prepared by a third party, but shall represent that, to its knowledge, none of the information contained in any such third party report is incorrect in any material respect.

1.4 Investment Property. An Investment Property shall include the following:

ARTICLE 2.

CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

2.1 Execution of Contribution Agreement. With respect to a Development Asset, upon (a) the determination that the applicable Development Asset is a Qualifying Center or (b) in the case of Development Asset that is not a Qualifying Center, upon the approval of acquisition thereof by the Advisory Council, then the Operating Partnership (or its designated Affiliate) and the applicable Contributor shall enter into a Stabilized Property Contribution Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Contribution Agreement”) and consummate the contribution of the Development Asset in accordance therewith.

2.2 Contribution Value. The Gross Contribution Value for each Development Asset to be contributed to the Operating Partnership (or its Subsidiary) shall be determined as provided herein and set forth in the Development Investment Memorandum for such Development Asset. Pursuant to the applicable Contribution Agreement, in connection with the contribution of a Development Asset, the Operating Partnership (or its Subsidiary) shall deliver to Regency (or its designee), in exchange for such contribution, the following:

(a) Cash in an amount set forth in the applicable Contribution Agreement, such cash to be deposited by the Operating Partnership (or the applicable Subsidiary) with the title company acting as escrow for such contribution, in immediate, same-day federal funds wired for credit into such title company’s escrow account at a bank satisfactory to the applicable Regency Party for delivery to or at the direction of such Regency Party; and

[The following form of subsection (b) is to be used in the event that Regency will receive Common Units in the Operating Partnership in exchange for the Investment Property:]

(b) Operating Partnership Units. A number of Common Units (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement) in the Operating Partnership in an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Net Contribution Value over (B) the amount of cash distributed to the applicable Regency Party pursuant to Section 3.4(a) above, divided by (ii) the Net Asset Value Per Unit (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement); provided, however, that if the Regency Required Investment is not, or would not be, satisfied following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the amount of cash to be distributed to the applicable Regency Party pursuant to Section 2.2(a) above shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount that is necessary for the Regency Required Investment to be satisfied upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

[The following form of subsection (b) is to be used in the event that Regency will receive Units in the Fund Partnership in exchange for the Investment Property:]

(b) Fund Partnership Units. A number of Units (as defined in the Fund Partnership Agreement) in the Fund Partnership in an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Net Contribution Value over (B) the amount of cash distributed to Contributor pursuant to

 

Page 12


Section 2.2(a) above, divided by (ii) the Net Asset Value Per Unit (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement); provided, however, that if the Regency Required Investment is not, or would not be, satisfied following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the amount of cash to be distributed to the applicable Regency Party pursuant to Section 2.2(a) above shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount that is necessary for the Regency Required Investment to be satisfied upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To the extent such Regency Party receives Units pursuant to this Paragraph 2.2, (x) the portion of the Investment Property equal to the percentage of the Net Contribution Value paid in cash pursuant to Paragraph 2.2(a) shall be treated for all purposes as having been sold to the Operating Partnership for cash and (y) the portion of the Investment Property equal to the percentage of the Net Contribution Value paid in Units pursuant to this Paragraph 2.2(b) shall be treated for all purposes as having been contributed to the Fund Partnership in exchange for Units (with the Fund Partnership having contributed such portion of the Investment Property to the Parent REIT (as defined in the Fund Partnership Agreement), the Parent REIT having contributed it to the Subsidiary REIT (as defined in the Fund Partnership Agreement), the Subsidiary REIT having contributed it to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership having contributed it to the applicable Subsidiary, in each case in exchange for units or shares in such entity with a value equal to (A) the number of Units delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 2.2(b) multiplied by (B) the Net Asset Value Per Unit (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement)).1

2.3 “AS-IS” Transaction. For each contribution of an Investment Property, the Operating Partnership shall represent to the Regency Parties that the Operating Partnership has reviewed all such information relating to such Investment Property as the Operating Partnership deems necessary or desirable as to the condition of the Investment Property. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and except for Contributor’s Warranties (as defined in the applicable Contribution Agreement), the contribution of any interest in any Investment Property to the Operating Partnership (or a Subsidiary) shall be made without representation, covenant, or warranty of any kind (whether express, implied or, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, statutory) by the Regency Parties.

ARTICLE 3.

3.2 Acquisition Opportunities.

(a) In the event that Regency shall determine, in its sole discretion, that an Acquisition Opportunity (whether the seller is Regency, a Regency managed joint venture, or an unaffiliated third party) would be appropriate or desirable for the Operating Partnership and for an entity in which Regency or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries owns an interest and exercises management authority, then, commencing with the second non-grocery anchored Acquisition Opportunity (and at least every second such non-grocery anchored Acquisition Opportunity thereafter) and with the fourth grocery-anchored Acquisition Opportunity (and at least every fourth such grocery anchored Acquisition Opportunity thereafter), Regency shall present such Acquisition Opportunity to the Operating Partnership for its approval by delivering to the Operating Partnership written notice (each, an “Acquisition Notice”) of such Acquisition Opportunity, which Acquisition Notice shall include, to the extent reasonably available at the time, (i) a proposed or executed, as applicable, letter of intent or purchase and sale agreement relating to the proposed Acquisition Opportunity, (i) a detailed breakdown of (A) the total projected due diligence expenses incurred or to-be incurred with respect to such Acquisition Opportunity (the “Due Diligence Costs”) and (B) the projected closing costs with respect to such Acquisition , (iii) the items listed in Section 1.3(a)(viii), (ix) and (xiii) and (iv) such due diligence information referenced in Sections 1.3(a)(i) through (v), Section 1.3(a)(vii) and Sections 1.3(a)(x) through (xii) as shall have been provided to Regency in connection with such acquisition and (in each case, subject to applicable confidentiality restrictions) and such information shall be referred to collectively herein as the “Acquisition Investment Memorandum.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Acquisition Opportunity in question would qualify as an Acquisition Opportunity for the Operating Partnership but would not also satisfy the investment criteria of any other investment vehicle with capital available to invest, Regency will offer such Acquisition Opportunity to the Operating Partnership and such offer will not be considered an allocation under the general rotation system described above. Neither Regency nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability to the Operating Partnership or any direct or indirect investor therein for any inaccuracy in any of the information provided by third parties with respect to any Acquisition Property, whether contained in the Acquisition Investment Memorandum or otherwise.

(b) The General Partner will promptly deliver such Acquisition Notice, together with the Acquisition Investment Memorandum, to each member of the Advisory Council. Within the period ending on the date specified within the Acquisition Notice (the “Approval Period”) (which date shall not be less than 15 business days following the receipt of such Acquisition Notice, provided that Regency may require a shorter response period if in its discretion it determines that a shorter response period is reasonably necessary for Regency to be competitive with other bidders for such Acquisition Opportunity), the Operating Partnership shall reply by written notice to Regency whether or not the Advisory Council has approved the Acquisition Opportunity. If within the Approval Period the Operating Partnership has replied by written notice that the Advisory Council has approved the acquisition of the Acquisition Opportunity by the Operating Partnership, the Operating Partnership and the seller of such property shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement containing such terms and conditions as the seller and the Operating Partnership shall mutually agree (or if signed prior to the date of such acceptance, then the purchase and sale agreement shall be assigned to the Operating Partnership or its designated Affiliate). If such Acquisition Opportunity is approved by the

 

Page 14


Advisory Counsel and Regency’s or the Operating Partnership’s bid for such Acquisition Opportunity is accepted, then the Operating Partnership shall reimburse Regency for all Due Diligence Costs actually incurred by Regency in connection with identifying and acquiring such Acquisition Opportunity, provided that such amount shall not be greater than the amount of Due Diligence Costs projected pursuant to subclause (a) above and approved by the Advisory Council.

(c) If the Operating Partnership fails to deliver any notice to Regency within the Approval Period or states in a notice that the Advisory Council has determined that the Operating Partnership has no interest in the Acquisition Opportunity, then Regency shall be free to acquire such property on its own behalf or on behalf of its subsidiaries or Affiliates or present such Acquisition Opportunity to any other Person; provided, however, that if the Approval Period is shortened in accordance with Paragraph 3.2(b) above to less than five (5) business days, and the Operating Partnership fails to deliver any notice to Regency prior to the expiration of such Approval Period or states in a notice that the Advisory Council is unable to evaluate such Acquisition Opportunity within such Approval Period, then such offer will not be considered an allocation under the general rotation system described in Paragraph 3.2(a) above.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Regency nor any of its wholly owned subsidiaries shall have any obligation to present any such opportunity to the Operating Partnership unless the Operating Partnership shall have sufficient Available Capital to acquire such Acquisition Opportunity (taking into account any other pending acquisitions).

(e) Regency may from time to time modify the allocation policy set forth in subparagraph (a) above in its discretion, after consulting with the Advisory Council and providing notice to the Limited Partners, where modifications are necessary as a result of changes in law.

3.3 Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the foregoing provisions of this Article 3 shall not apply to (i) tax deferred exchange transactions pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code, (ii) a tax deferred asset contribution in which a property owner contributes property to Regency Centers, L.P. in exchange for limited partnership units, (iii) transactions pursuant to which Regency or one of its Affiliates proposes to issue securities of Regency or securities convertible or exchangeable into securities of Regency; or (iv) transactions in which legal, regulatory, tax or other impediments cannot be eliminated or substantially mitigated on a commercially reasonable basis without imposition of material additional costs on Regency, the Operating Partnership or other investment vehicles, including an acquisition by Regency of a portfolio of properties or an entity that holds interests in a portfolio of properties where there are such impediments to severing the portfolio or otherwise transferring individual properties (including but not limited to restrictions under financings to be assumed and impediments to allocating relative valuation and risks within the portfolio).

3.4 Additional Capital. Regency agrees that, to the extent necessary to maintain the Regency Required Investment (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement), pursuant to Paragraph 3.4(b) of the Contribution Agreement it shall designate a percentage of the Net Contribution Value (not to exceed 100%) to be delivered in Common Units if the Operating

Partnership or Units in the Fund Partnership as is necessary for the Regency Requited Investment to be satisfied upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
