Item 5.02(e).

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers.

Effective as of July 15, 2015, Regency Centers Corporation and Regency Centers, L.P. entered into an amended and restated severance and change of control agreement with each of the following executive officers (the “executive officers”): Martin E. Stein, Jr., Chairman and CEO; Brian M. Smith, President and Chief Operating Officer, Lisa Palmer, Executive Vice President and CFO, Dan McFarland Chandler, III, Managing Director—West, John S. Delatour, Managing Director—Central, and James D. Thompson, Managing Director—East (collectively, the “Agreements”).

The Agreements expire on December 31, 2018 and automatically renew for successive additional three-year terms unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days before the end of the current term. The Agreements are substantially similar to the severance and change in control agreements entered into with each of the executive officers effective January 1, 2014, except among other things: (i) upon a termination following a change in control, the executive’s performance awards would be paid based on performance through the change in control date rather than at the maximum level regardless of performance (this change will become effective January 1, 2017, for Messrs. Chandler’s, Delatour’s and Thompson’s awards); and (ii) in connection with a severance payment, executives that are subject to an excise tax will either pay the excise tax or have their payments capped at a level so there would be no excise tax depending upon which option provides the executives with the greatest benefit on an after-tax basis.

The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement for each executive officer, which Agreements are filed as exhibits to this Form 8-K.

Item 5.03.

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On July 15, 2015, the Company amended and restated its Amended and Restated Bylaws to (i) opt out of Florida Business Corporation Act Section 607.0902, commonly known as the control share acquisition statute; (ii) fix the required percentage of votes required to call a special meeting of shareholders at 25%; (iii) adopt a majority voting standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections; (iv) adopt an exclusive forum bylaw and (v) adopt a proxy access right for shareholders.

The majority voting standard requires that nominees to the Board of Directors in uncontested elections receive a majority of the votes cast rather than simply a plurality.

The exclusive forum bylaw provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s shareholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the Florida Business Corporation Act or the articles of incorporation or the Company’s bylaws (in each case, as they may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be the Federal District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division (or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, a state court located within the State of Florida, County of Duval).

The proxy access right permits a shareholder who meets specified eligibility requirements to include director nominees in the Company’s proxy materials for annual meetings of its shareholders. To be eligible to use these proxy access provisions, a shareholder must, among other requirements:

•

have owned shares of common stock equal to at least 3% of the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company continuously for at least the prior three years;

•

represent that such shares were acquired in the ordinary course of business and not with the intent to change or influence control at the Company and that such shareholder or group does not presently have such intent; and

•

provide a notice requesting the inclusion of director nominees in the Company’s proxy materials and provide other required information to the Company not less than 120 days prior to the anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the prior year’s annual meeting of shareholders (with adjustments if the date for the upcoming annual meeting of shareholders is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting).

For purposes of the foregoing requirements, issued and outstanding common units of Regency Centers, L.P. (the “Partnership”), other than those owned by the Company, the Partnership or any of their directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries, will be treated as issued and outstanding shares of common stock as such units are generally economically equivalent to, and exchangeable for, shares of common stock.

Additionally, all director nominees submitted through these provisions must be independent and meet specified additional criteria, and shareholders will not be entitled to utilize this proxy access right at an annual meeting if the Company receives notice through its traditional advanced notice bylaw provisions that a shareholder intends to nominate a director at such meeting. The maximum number of director nominees that may be submitted pursuant to these provisions may not exceed 25% of the number of directors then in office.

The foregoing proxy access right is subject to additional eligibility, procedural and disclosure requirements set forth in the bylaws.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the Amended and Restated Bylaws are qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

ARTICLE 3

SHAREHOLDERS

Section 3.1 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held within five months after the close of each fiscal year of the corporation on a date and at a time and place designated by the Board of Directors, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. If the election of directors shall not be held on the day fixed as herein provided for any annual meeting of shareholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of shareholders as soon thereafter as is practicable.

Section 3.2 Special Meetings.

(a) Call by Directors or President. Special meetings of shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Lead Director (if any) or the President.

(b) Call by Shareholders. The corporation shall call a special meeting of shareholders in the event that the holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of all of the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed special meeting sign, date, and deliver to the Secretary one or more written demands for the meeting describing one or more purposes for which it is to be held. The corporation shall give notice of such a special meeting within sixty (60) days after the date that the demand is delivered to the corporation.

Section 3.3 Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Florida, as the place of meeting for any annual or special meeting of shareholders. If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the corporation.

Section 3.4 Notice of Meeting.

(a) Content and Delivery. Written notice stating the date, time, and place of any meeting of shareholders and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting by or at the direction of the President or the Secretary, or the officer or persons duly calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting and to such other persons as required by the Act. Unless the Act requires otherwise, notice of an annual meeting need not include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If mailed, notice of a meeting of shareholders shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his or her address as it appears on the stock record books of the corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

(b) Notice of Adjourned Meetings. If an annual or special meeting of shareholders is adjourned to a different date, time, or place, the corporation shall not be required to give notice of the new date, time, or place if the new date, time, or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment; provided, however, that if a new record date for an adjourned meeting is or must be fixed, the corporation shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to persons who are shareholders as of the new record date who are entitled to notice of the meeting.

(c) No Notice Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, no notice of a meeting of shareholders need be given to a shareholder if: (1) an annual report and proxy statement for two consecutive annual meetings of shareholders, or (2) all, and at least two, checks in payment of dividends or interest on securities during a twelve-month period have been sent by first-class, United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his or her address as it appears on the share transfer books of the corporation, and returned undeliverable. The obligation of the corporation to give notice of a shareholders’ meeting to any such shareholder shall be reinstated once the corporation has received a new address for such shareholder for entry on its share transfer books.

-2-

Section 3.5 Waiver of Notice.

(a) Written Waiver. A shareholder may waive any notice required by the Act or these bylaws before or after the date and time stated for the meeting in the notice. The waiver shall be in writing and signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, and be delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of shareholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

(b) Waiver by Attendance. A shareholder’s attendance at a meeting, in person or by proxy, waives objection to all of the following: (1) lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; and (2) consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

Section 3.6 Fixing of Record Date.

(a) General. The Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of a shareholders’ meeting, entitled to vote, or take any other action. In no event may a record date fixed by the Board of Directors be a date preceding the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted or a date more than seventy days before the date of meeting or action requiring a determination of shareholders.

(b) Special Meeting. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to demand a special meeting shall be the close of business on the date the first shareholder delivers his or her demand to the corporation.

(c) Shareholder Action by Written Consent. If no prior action is required by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Act, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting shall be the close of business on the date the first signed written consent with respect to the action in question is delivered to the corporation, but if prior action is required by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Act, such record date shall be the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action unless the Board of Directors otherwise fixes a record date.

-3-

(d) Absence of Board Determination for Shareholders’ Meeting. If the Board of Directors does not determine the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at an annual or special shareholders’ meeting, such record date shall be the close of business on the day before the first notice with respect thereto is delivered to shareholders.

(e) Adjourned Meeting. A record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a shareholders’ meeting is effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

Section 3.7 Shareholders’ List for Meetings.

(a) Preparation and Availability. After a record date for a meeting of shareholders has been fixed, the corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names of all of the shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting. The list shall be arranged by class or series of shares, if any, and show the address of and number of shares held by each shareholder. Such list shall be available for inspection by any shareholder for a period of ten days prior to the meeting or such shorter time as exists between the record date and the meeting date, and continuing through the meeting, at the corporation’s principal office, at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held, or at the office of the corporation’s transfer agent or registrar, if any. A shareholder or his or her agent or attorney may, on written demand, inspect the list, subject to the requirements of the Act, during regular business hours and at his or her expense, during the period that it is available for inspection pursuant to this Section. The corporation shall make the shareholders’ list available at the meeting and any shareholder or his or her agent or attorney may inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

(b) Prima Facie Evidence. The shareholders’ list is prima facie evidence of the identity of shareholders entitled to examine the shareholders’ list or to vote at a meeting of shareholders.

(c) Failure to Comply. If the requirements of this Section have not been substantially complied with, or if the corporation refuses to allow a shareholder or his or her agent or attorney to inspect the shareholders’ list before or at the meeting, on the demand of any shareholder, in person or by proxy, who failed to get such access, the meeting shall be adjourned until such requirements are complied with.

(d) Validity of Action Not Affected. Refusal or failure to prepare or make available the shareholders’ list shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting of shareholders.

Section 3.8 Conduct of Meetings by Remote Communication. The Board of Directors may adopt guidelines and procedures for shareholders and proxy holders not physically present at an annual or special meeting of shareholders to participate in the meeting, be deemed present in person, vote, communicate and read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially

-4-

concurrently with such proceedings, all by means of remote communication. The Board of Directors may adopt procedures and guidelines for the conduct of an annual or special meeting solely by means of remote communication rather than holding the meeting at a designated place.

Section 3.9 Quorum.

(a) What Constitutes a Quorum. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. If the corporation has only one class of stock outstanding, such class shall constitute a separate voting group for purposes of this Section. Except as otherwise provided in the Act, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter shall constitute a quorum of the voting group for action on that matter.

(b) Presence of Shares. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, other than for the purpose of objecting to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, it is considered present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for the adjourned meeting.

(c) Adjournment in Absence of Quorum. Where a quorum is not present, the holders of a majority of the shares represented and who would be entitled to vote at the meeting if a quorum were present may adjourn such meeting from time to time.

Section 3.10 Voting of Shares. Except as provided in the Articles of Incorporation or the Act, each outstanding share, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote on each matter voted on at a meeting of shareholders.

Section 3.11 Vote Required.

(a) Matters Other Than Election of Directors. If a quorum exists, except in the case of the election of directors, action on a matter shall be approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the Act or the Articles of Incorporation require a greater number of affirmative votes.

(b) Election of Directors. Each shareholder who is entitled to vote at an election of directors has the right to vote the number of shares owned by him or her for as many persons as there are directors to be elected. Shareholders do not have a right to cumulate their votes for directors. At any meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected, when a quorum is present: (i) each nominee in an uncontested election shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to that director’s election; and (ii) in a contested election, the nominees receiving a plurality of the votes cast shall be elected. For purposes of this section, (i) a “contested election” means the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected in such election; (ii) an “uncontested election” means the number of nominees equals the number of directors to be elected in such election; and (iii) a “majority of the votes cast” means that the number of shares voted “for” a director’s election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that director’s election; votes cast shall include votes to withhold authority or votes against, in each case as applicable, and shall exclude abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to that director’s election.

-5-

Section 3.12 Conduct of Meeting. The Chairman of the Board of Directors, and in his or her absence, the Lead Director (if any), and in his or her absence, the President, and in his or her absence, a Vice President in the order provided under the Section of these bylaws titled “Vice Presidents,” and in their absence, any person chosen by the shareholders present shall call a shareholders’ meeting to order and shall act as presiding officer of the meeting, and the Secretary of the corporation shall act as secretary of all meetings of the shareholders, but, in the absence of the Secretary, the presiding officer may appoint any other person to act as secretary of the meeting. The presiding officer of the meeting shall have broad discretion in determining the order of business at a shareholders’ meeting. The presiding officer’s authority to conduct the meeting shall include, but in no way be limited to, recognizing shareholders entitled to speak, calling for the necessary reports, stating questions and putting them to a vote, calling for nominations, and announcing the results of voting. The presiding officer also shall take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to preserve order at the meeting. The rules of parliamentary procedure need not be observed in the conduct of shareholders’ meetings; however, meetings shall be conducted in accordance with accepted usage and common practice with fair treatment to all who are entitled to take part.

Section 3.13 Inspectors of Election. Inspectors of election may be appointed by the Board of Directors to act at any meeting of shareholders at which any vote is taken. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, the presiding officer of the meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder shall, make such appointment. The inspectors of election shall determine the number of shares outstanding, the voting rights with respect to each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies; receive votes, ballots, consents, and waivers; hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the vote; count and tabulate all votes, consents, and waivers; determine and announce the result; and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. No inspector, whether appointed by the Board of Directors or by the person acting as presiding officer of the meeting, need be a shareholder.

Section 3.14 Proxies.

(a) Appointment. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder or attorney-in-fact for a shareholder may vote the shareholder’s shares in person or by proxy. If an appointment form expressly provides, any proxy holder may appoint, in writing, a substitute to act in his or her place. A shareholder or attorney-in-fact for a shareholder may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the shareholder by signing an appointment form or by electronic transmission. Any type of electronic transmission appearing to have been, or containing or accompanied by such information or obtained under such procedures to reasonably ensure that the electronic transmission was, transmitted or authorized by such person is a sufficient appointment, subject to the verification requested by the corporation under Section 3.17 of these bylaws and Section 607.0724, Florida Statutes. The appointment may be signed by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, facsimile or electronic signature. Any copy, facsimile transmission or other reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission of the appointment may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or electronic transmission for any purpose for which the original writing or electronic transmission could be used if the copy, facsimile transmission or other reproduction is a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or electronic transmission.

(b) When Effective. An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent of the corporation authorized to tabulate votes. An appointment is valid for up to eleven months unless a longer period is expressly provided in the appointment form. An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder unless the appointment form conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest.

-6-

Section 3.15 Shareholder Nominations and Proposals. Any shareholder nomination or proposal for action at a forthcoming shareholder meeting must be delivered to the corporation no later than the deadline for submitting shareholder proposals pursuant to Securities Exchange Commission Regulations Section 240.14a-8. The presiding officer at any shareholder meeting shall not be required to recognize any proposal or nomination which did not comply with such deadline.

Section 3.16 Action by Shareholders Without Meeting.

(a) Requirements for Written Consents. Any action required or permitted by the Act to be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if one or more written consents describing the action taken shall be signed and dated by the holders of outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Such consents must be delivered to the principal office of the corporation in Florida, the corporation’s principal place of business, the Secretary, or another officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty days of the date of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required herein, written consents signed by the number of holders required to take action are delivered to the corporation by delivery as set forth in this Section.

(b) Revocation of Written Consents. Any written consent may be revoked prior to the date that the corporation receives the required number of consents to authorize the proposed action. No revocation is effective unless in writing and until received by the corporation at its principal office in Florida or its principal place of business, or received by the Secretary or other officer or agent having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded.

(c) Notice to Nonconsenting Shareholders. Within ten days after obtaining such authorization by written consent, notice must be given in writing to those shareholders who have not consented in writing or who are not entitled to vote on the action. The notice shall fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action and, if the action be such for which dissenters’ rights are provided under the Act, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the right of shareholders dissenting therefrom to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with the provisions of the Act regarding the rights of dissenting shareholders.

(d) Same Effect as Vote at Meeting. A consent signed under this Section has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document. Whenever action is

-7-

taken by written consent pursuant to this Section, the written consent of the shareholders consenting thereto or the written reports of inspectors appointed to tabulate such consents shall be filed with the minutes of proceedings of shareholders.

Section 3.17 Acceptance of Instruments Showing Shareholder Action. If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment corresponds to the name of a shareholder, the corporation, if acting in good faith, may accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of a shareholder. If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment does not correspond to the name of a shareholder, the corporation, if acting in good faith, may accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of the shareholder if any of the following apply:

(a) The shareholder is an entity and the name signed purports to be that of an officer or agent of the entity;

(b) The name signed purports to be that of a administrator, executor, guardian, personal representative, or conservator representing the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence of fiduciary status acceptable to the corporation is presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment;

(c) The name signed purports to be that of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy, or assignee for the benefit of creditors of the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence of this status acceptable to the corporation is presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment;

(d) The name signed purports to be that of a pledgee, beneficial owner, or attorney-in-fact of the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence acceptable to the corporation of the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder is presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment; or

(e) Two or more persons are the shareholder as cotenants or fiduciaries and the name signed purports to be the name of at least one of the co-owners and the person signing appears to be acting on behalf of all co-owners.

The corporation may reject a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment if the Secretary or other officer or agent of the corporation who is authorized to tabulate votes, acting in good faith, has reasonable basis for doubt about the validity of the signature on it or about the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder.

-9-

(ii) In order to nominate a Shareholder Nominee pursuant to this Section, an Eligible Shareholder providing the information required to be provided pursuant to Section 3.18(a)(ii) within the time period specified in Section 3.18(b)(i) for delivering the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination must further update and supplement such information, if necessary, so that all such information provided or required to be provided shall be true and correct as of the record date for purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to such annual meeting, and such update and supplement (or a written notice stating that there are no such updates or supplements) must be delivered in writing to the Secretary of the corporation at its principal executive office not later than the close of business on the fifth (5th) business day after the record date for purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than the close of business on the eighth (8th) business day prior to the date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting).

(i) The maximum number of Shareholder Nominees (including Shareholder Nominees that were submitted by an Eligible Shareholder for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section but that were either subsequently withdrawn or that the Board of Directors decides to nominate as Board of Director nominees) nominated by all Eligible Shareholders that will be included in the corporation’s proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the number of directors in office (rounded down to the nearest whole number) as of the last day on which a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination may be timely delivered pursuant to and in accordance with this Section (the “Final Proxy Access Nomination Date”); provided that the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees that will be included in the corporation’s proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting will be reduced by the number of individuals that the Board of Directors decides to nominate for re-election who were previously elected to the Board of Directors based on a nomination pursuant to Section 3.15 or this Section.

-10-

(ii) Any Eligible Shareholder submitting more than one Shareholder Nominee for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section shall rank such Shareholder Nominees based on the order that the Eligible Shareholder desires such Shareholder Nominees to be selected for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy statement in the event that the total number of Shareholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this Section exceeds the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees provided for in Section 3.18(c)(i) (including by operation of Section 3.18(c)(iii)). In the event that the number of Shareholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this Section exceeds the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees provided for in Section 3.18(c)(i) (including by operation of Section 3.18(c)(iii)), the highest ranking Shareholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section from each Eligible Shareholder will be selected for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy materials until the maximum number is reached, going in order from the largest to the smallest of such Eligible Shareholders based on the number of shares of common stock of the corporation each Eligible Shareholder disclosed as owned in the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination submitted to the corporation hereunder. If the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees provided for in this Section is not reached after the highest ranking Shareholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section from each Eligible Shareholder has been selected, this selection process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees provided for in this Section is reached. The Shareholder Nominees so selected by each Eligible Shareholder in accordance with this Section 3.18(c)(ii) will be the only Shareholder Nominees entitled to be included in the corporation’s proxy materials, and, following such selection, if the Shareholder Nominees so selected are not included in the corporation’s proxy materials or are not submitted for election (for any reason, including the failure to comply with this Section), no other Shareholder Nominees will be included in the corporation’s proxy materials or otherwise submitted for shareholder election pursuant to this Section.

(iii) If for any reason one or more vacancies occur on the Board of Directors after the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date but before the date of the applicable annual meeting and the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the Board of Directors in connection therewith, the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees included in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.

A shareholder shall “own” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the shareholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. A shareholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the shareholder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement which is revocable at any time by the shareholder.

-13-

(G) an irrevocable resignation of the Shareholder Nominee, which shall become effective upon a determination in good faith by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof that the information provided to the corporation by such individual pursuant to Section 3.18 of these bylaws was untrue in any material respect or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

-15-

regulation, (F) who provides any information to the corporation or its shareholders required or requested pursuant to any subsection of Section 3.18 of these bylaws that is not accurate, truthful and complete in all material respects, or that otherwise contravenes any of the agreements, representations or undertakings made by the Shareholder Nominee in connection with the nomination, (G) who is or has been, within the past three years, an officer or director of a competitor, as defined in Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, (H) who is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations) or has been convicted in such a criminal proceeding within the past ten (10) years, (I) is the subject of any order of the type specified in Rule 506(d) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (J) if such Shareholder Nominee or the applicable Eligible Shareholder shall have provided information to the corporation in respect of such nomination that was untrue in any material respect or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statement made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as determined by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof or (K) the Eligible Shareholder or applicable Shareholder Nominee fails to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Section.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 4.1 General Powers and Number. All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the corporation managed under the direction of, the Board of Directors, a majority of whom shall be Independent Directors. The number of directors shall be established from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors, but no such resolution shall increase or decrease the number of directors by more than one without the approval of shareholders pursuant to Section 3.11(a). For purposes of this Section, “Independent Director” shall mean a person other than an officer or employee of the corporation or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Section 4.2 Qualifications. Directors must be natural persons who are eighteen years of age or older but need not be residents of this state or shareholders of the corporation.

Section 4.3 Term of Office. The term of each director shall expire at the next annual meeting of shareholders following his or her election or until his or her successor is elected and qualifies. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the term for a director in an uncontested election who does not receive the vote of the majority of the votes cast, as defined in Section 3.11(b), with respect to such director’s election shall expire on the date that is the earlier of (i) 90 days from the date on which the voting results are determined or (ii) the date on which an individual is selected by the Board of Directors to fill the office held by such director.

Section 4.4 Removal. The shareholders may remove one or more directors with or without cause. A director may be removed by the shareholders at a meeting of shareholders, provided that the notice of the meeting states that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is such removal. If a director is elected by a voting group, only the shareholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove the director.

Section 4.5 Resignation. A director may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board of Directors or its Chairman or to the corporation. A director’s resignation is effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date.

Section 4.6 Vacancies.

(a) Who May Fill Vacancies. Except as provided below, whenever any vacancy occurs on the Board of Directors, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the

-17-

number of directors, it may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by the shareholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the corporation. If the directors first fill a vacancy, the shareholders shall have no further right with respect to that vacancy, and if the shareholders first fill the vacancy, the directors shall have no further rights with respect to that vacancy.

(b) Directors Elected by Voting Groups. Whenever the holders of shares of any voting group are entitled to elect a class of one or more directors by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, vacancies in such class may be filled by holders of shares of that voting group or by a majority of the directors then in office elected by such voting group or by a sole remaining director so elected. If no director elected by such voting group remains in office, unless the Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, directors not elected by such voting group may fill vacancies.

(c) Prospective Vacancies. A vacancy that will occur at a specific later date, because of a resignation effective at a later date or otherwise, may be filled before the vacancy occurs, but the new director may not take office until the vacancy occurs.

Section 4.7 Compensation. The Board of Directors, irrespective of any personal interest of any of its members, may establish reasonable compensation of all directors for services to the corporation as directors, officers, or otherwise, or may delegate such authority to an appropriate committee. The Board of Directors also shall have authority to provide for or delegate authority to an appropriate committee to provide for reasonable pensions, disability or death benefits, and other benefits or payments, to directors, officers, and employees and to their families, dependents, estates, or beneficiaries on account of prior services rendered to the corporation by such directors, officers, and employees.

Section 4.8 Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held without other notice than this bylaw immediately after the annual meeting of shareholders and each adjourned session thereof. The place of such regular meeting shall be the same as the place of the meeting of shareholders which precedes it, or such other suitable place as may be announced at such meeting of shareholders.

-18-

Section 4.11 Waiver of Notice. Notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors need not be given to any director who signs a waiver of notice either before or after the meeting. Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting and waiver of any and all objections to the place of the meeting, the time of the meeting, or the manner in which it has been called or convened, except when a director states, at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival at the meeting, any objection to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 4.12 Quorum and Voting. A quorum of the Board of Directors consists of a majority of the number of directors prescribed by these bylaws. If a quorum is present when a vote is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of directors present is the act of the Board of Directors.

(d) Participation by Conference Call or Similar Means. The Board of Directors may permit any or all directors to participate in a regular or a special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting.

Section 4.14 Committees. The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board of Directors, may designate from among its members an Executive Committee and one or more other committees (which may include, by way of example and not as a limitation, a Compensation Committee, an Audit Committee and a Corporate Governance Committee) each of which, to the extent provided in such resolution and in any charter adopted by the Board of Directors for any committee, shall have and may exercise all the authority of the Board of Directors, except that no such committee shall have the authority to:

Each committee must have two or more members, who shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors may authorize shares to be issued for consideration consisting of any tangible or intangible property or benefit to the corporation, including cash, promissory notes, services performed, promises to perform services evidenced by a written contract, or other securities of the corporation. Before the corporation issues shares, the Board of Directors shall determine that the consideration received or to be received for the shares to be issued is adequate. The determination of the Board of Directors is conclusive insofar as the adequacy of consideration for the issuance of shares relates to whether the shares are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. The corporation may place in escrow shares issued for future services or benefits or a promissory note, or make other arrangements to restrict the transfer of the shares, and may credit distributions in respect of the shares against their purchase price, until the services are performed, the note is paid, or the benefits are received.

Section 7.2 Certificates for Shares. Every holder of shares in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate representing all shares to which he or she is entitled unless the Board of Directors authorizes the issuance of some or all shares without certificates.

If the Board of Directors authorizes the issuance of any shares without certificates, within a reasonable time after the issue or transfer of any such shares, the corporation shall send the shareholder a written statement of the information required by the Act or the Articles of Incorporation to be set forth on certificates, including any restrictions on transfer. Certificates representing shares of the corporation shall be in such form, consistent with the Act, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors. Such certificates shall be signed (either manually or in facsimile) by the Chairman, the President, any Managing Director or any Vice President or any other persons designated by the Board of Directors and may be sealed with the seal of the corporation or a facsimile thereof. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name and address of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the stock transfer books of the corporation. Unless the Board of Directors authorizes shares without certificates, all certificates surrendered to the corporation for transfer shall be canceled and no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of shares shall have been surrendered and canceled, except as provided in these bylaws with respect to lost, destroyed, or stolen certificates. The validity of a share certificate is not affected if a person who signed the certificate (either manually or in facsimile) no longer holds office when the certificate is issued.

Section 7.3 Transfer of Shares. Prior to due presentment of a certificate for shares for registration of transfer, the corporation may treat the registered owner of such shares as the person exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to have and exercise all the rights and power of an owner. Where a certificate for shares is presented to the corporation with a request to register a transfer, the corporation shall not be liable to the owner or any other person suffering loss as a result of such registration of transfer if (a) there were on or with the certificate the necessary endorsements, and (b) the corporation had no duty to inquire into adverse claims or has discharged any such duty. The corporation may require reasonable assurance that such endorsements are genuine and effective and compliance with such other regulations as may be prescribed by or under the authority of the Board of Directors.

Section 7.4 Restrictions on Transfer. The face or reverse side of each certificate representing shares shall bear a conspicuous notation as required by the Act or the Articles of Incorporation of the restrictions imposed by the corporation upon the transfer of such shares.

Section 7.5 Lost, Destroyed, or Stolen Certificates. Unless the Board of Directors authorizes shares without certificates, where the owner claims that certificates for shares have been lost, destroyed, or wrongfully taken, a new certificate shall be issued in place thereof if the owner (a) so requests before the corporation has notice that such shares have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, (b) files with the corporation a sufficient indemnity bond if required by the Board of Directors or any principal officer, and (c) satisfies such other reasonable requirements as may be prescribed by or under the authority of the Board of Directors.

The rights to indemnification granted hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification against Liabilities or the advancement of Expenses which a Director or Executive Officer may be entitled under any written agreement, Board resolution, vote of shareholders, the Act, or otherwise.

However, if any one Person or more than one Person Acting as a Group is considered to own more than thirty percent (30%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional voting stock by the same Person or Persons is not considered to cause a Change of Control; or

However, Persons will be considered to be Acting as a Group if they (i) are owners of an entity that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of assets, or similar business transaction with the Company, or (ii) do so within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, including any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act).

The term “Change of Control” as defined above shall be construed in accordance with Code Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(h) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(i) “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(v) any other action or inaction by the Company or the Partnership that constitutes a material breach of this Agreement or any other agreement pursuant to which the Employee provides services to the Company or the Partnership.

A termination of the Employee’s employment for Good Reason shall be effective only if (X) such condition was not consented to by the Employee in advance or subsequently ratified by the Employee in writing, (Y) such condition remains in effect thirty (30) days after the Employee gives written notice to the Board of the Employee’s intention to terminate his or her employment for Good Reason, which notice specifically identifies such condition, and (Z) the Employee gives the notice referred to in (Y) above within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of such condition. If the Company or the Partnership, as applicable, does not cure the condition within the thirty (30) day cure period described in (Y) above, then the Employee’s termination will occur on the day immediately following the end of the cure period. If the Company or the Partnership, as applicable, cures the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, then the Employee will be deemed to have withdrawn his notice of termination effective as of the date the cure is effected.

(l) “Medical Benefits” shall mean the monthly fair market value of benefits provided to the Employee and the Employee’s dependents under the major medical, dental and vision benefit plans sponsored and maintained by the Partnership, at the level of coverage in effect for such persons immediately prior to the Employee’s termination of employment date.

Age at Voluntary Termination		Number of Years of Advance Notice
58 or younger		3 years
59		2 years
60 or older		1 year

By way of illustration, and without limiting the foregoing, if (i) the Employee is eligible to retire at age fifty-nine (59) after ten (10) Years of Service, (ii) the Employee gives two (2) years notice at age fifty-eight (58) that the Employee intends to retire at age sixty (60), and (iii) the Employee later terminates employment at age fifty-nine (59), then the Employee’s retirement at age fifty-nine (59) would not constitute a Qualifying Retirement. However, if (i) the Employee is eligible to retire at age fifty-nine (59) after ten (10) Years of Service, (ii) the Employee gives two (2) years notice at age fifty-eight (58) that the Employee intends to retire at age sixty (60), and (iii) the Employee terminates employment upon reaching age sixty (60), then the Employee’s retirement at age sixty (60) would constitute a Qualifying Retirement.

(q) “Separation from Service” means the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Partnership and all Regency Entities, provided that, notwithstanding such termination of the employment relationship between the Employee and the Partnership and all Regency Entities, the Employee shall not be deemed to have had a Separation from Service where it is reasonably anticipated that the level of bona fide services that the Employee will perform (whether as an employee or independent contractor) following such termination from the Partnership and all Regency Entities would be twenty percent (20%) or more of the average level of bona fide services performed by the Employee (whether as an employee or independent contractor) for the Partnership and all Regency Entities over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period (or such lesser period of actual service). In such event, Separation from Service shall mean the permanent reduction of the level of bona fide services to be performed by the Employee (whether as an employee or independent contractor) to a level that is less than twenty percent (20%) of the average level of bona fide services performed by the Employee (whether as an employee or independent contractor) during the thirty-six (36) month period (or such lesser period of actual service) immediately prior to the termination of the Employee’s employment relationship. A Separation from Service shall not be deemed to have occurred if the Employee is absent from active employment due to military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed the greater of (i) six (6) months or (ii) the period during which the Employee’s right to reemployment by the Partnership or any Regency Entity is provided either by statute or contract.

(r) “Specified Employee” means an employee of the Company or any Regency Entity who is a “specified employee” as defined in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(b)(i) and Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(i). If the Employee is a key employee as of the applicable identification date, the Employee shall be treated as a Specified Employee for the twelve (12) month period beginning on the first day of the fourth month following such identification date. The applicable identification date for purposes of this Agreement shall be September 30 of each year.

(s) “Unvested Equity Award” has the meaning given to such term in Section 6(a).

(t) “Years of Service” means the Employee’s total years of employment with a Regency Entity, including years of employment with an entity that is acquired by a Regency Entity prior to such acquisition.

2. Term of the Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date hereof and end at 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2018, and thereafter shall automatically renew for successive three (3) year terms unless either party delivers written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then current term; provided, however, that if a Change of Control has occurred during the original or any extended term (including any extension resulting from a prior Change of Control), the term of the Agreement shall end no earlier than twenty-four (24) calendar months after the end of the calendar month in which the Change of Control occurs.

3. No Change of Control – Severance. Except in circumstances in which the Employee would be entitled to payments and benefits in connection with a Change of Control as provided in Section 4 below, in the event that during the term of this Agreement the Employee has a Separation from Service as a result of the Partnership terminating the Employee’s employment without Cause or the Employee terminating the Employee’s employment for Good Reason, subject to Sections 11 and 15 below:

(a) The Partnership shall pay to the Employee an amount equal to the sum of (i) eighteen (18) months of the Employee’s base monthly salary in effect on the date the Employee’s employment terminates, (ii) one-hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Employee’s Average Annual Cash Bonus, and (iii) eighteen (18) months of the Employee’s Medical Benefits. Payment shall be made in a lump sum on the first business day after sixty (60) days following the Employee’s Separation from Service.

(b) All of the Employee’s outstanding unvested stock options, restricted stock awards, and stock rights awards that vest solely on the basis of time shall become vested on a pro-rated basis, based on the portion of the vesting period that has elapsed as of the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service; and

(c) All of the Employee’s outstanding performance share awards shall be earned as of the date of Separation from Service based on the level of achievement of the performance goals established for such awards as of such date, but then pro-rated based on the portion of the performance period that has elapsed as of the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service. For purposes hereof, the level of achievement of the performance goals established for each such award will be determined on the date immediately prior to the Separation from Service as follows: (i) if the goal is a market-based goal, such as total shareholder return or stock price, then the actual performance to date shall be used, and (ii) if the goal is not a market-based goal, then the level of achievement of such goal shall be (X) based on the most recently reported number(s) by the Company in its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or (Y) if such numbers are not so filed, based on the numbers as prepared internally by the Company for the quarter ending prior to the date of the Separation from Service.

Any shares issuable under awards that vest or are earned pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) shall be issued on the same date as the cash severance payment is made pursuant to subsection (a).

4. Change of Control – Severance. In the event that during the term of this Agreement the Partnership terminates the Employee’s employment without Cause or the Employee terminates the Employee’s employment for Good Reason, in each case within two (2) years following a Change of Control, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) The Partnership shall pay to the Employee an amount equal to the sum of (i) thirty-six (36) months of the Employee’s monthly base salary in effect on the date the Employee’s employment terminates, (ii) three-hundred percent (300%) of the Employee’s Average Annual Cash Bonus, and (iii) thirty-six (36) months of the Employee’s Medical Benefits. Subject to Sections 11 and 15 below, payment shall be made in a lump sum on the first business day after sixty (60) days following the Employee’s Separation from Service.

(b) All outstanding unvested stock options, restricted stock, stock rights awards and performance share awards granted to the Employee on or after a Change of Control will vest (at the greater of actual performance to-date or target, for any awards subject to performance goals), and all outstanding equity awards that have not vested at the time of the Change of Control or been converted to the right to receive a cash payment pursuant to Section 6(c) will vest on the date the General Release in Section 15 becomes effective, and, if applicable, will be paid on the tenth (10th) business day following such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such awards which are subject to Code Section 409A will be paid on the first (1st) business day after sixty (60) days following the Employee’s Separation from Service, provided the General Release in Section 15 has become effective.

(c) With respect to those Unvested Equity Awards that have been exchanged pursuant to Sections 6(b) and 6(c) for the right to receive a contingent cash payment, subject to Section 11 below, the Employee shall receive a cash payment made in a lump sum on the first business day after sixty (60) days following the Employee’s Separation from Service equal to any portion of the unpaid Base Performance Share Value and Base Restricted Share Value that has not been paid pursuant to Sections 6(b) and 6(c), together with accrued but unpaid interest at the Prime Rate on such unpaid amount from the date of the Change of Control to the date of payment.

5. Entitlement to Severance.

(a) If the Employee becomes entitled to receive any severance payments or benefits described in Section 3 or Section 4 after the Employee has delivered written notice of what would otherwise have been a Qualifying Retirement to the Partnership had the Employee continued to be employed by the Partnership through the date of retirement set forth in the notice, then the amount of such payments and benefits shall be limited to (i) those that the Employee would have otherwise received had such employment continued through such date of retirement, and (ii) those provided by Section 9, if any.

(b) If the Employee dies after receiving notice from the Company that the Employee is being terminated without Cause, or after providing notice of termination for Good Reason, but prior to the date the Employee receives the payments and benefits described in Section 3 or Section 4, as the case may be, then the Employee’s estate, heirs and beneficiaries shall be entitled to the payments and benefits described in Section 3 or Section 4, as the case may be, at the same time such payments and benefits would have been paid or provided to the Employee had the Employee lived.

6. Change of Control – Effect on Stock Rights.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6(b) and 6(c) below (or in Sections 4(b) or 4(c), if applicable), the occurrence of a Change of Control shall not impact any existing unvested stock options, restricted stock awards, stock rights awards or performance share awards (collectively, “Unvested Equity Awards”) unless such rights are cashed out pursuant to the terms of the applicable merger agreement or other agreement(s) pursuant to which such Change of Control is effected.

(b) With respect to Unvested Equity Awards that are performance share awards (“Performance Awards”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the related plan or award agreement, all of the Employee’s outstanding unvested Performance Awards shall be cancelled and, in consideration for the cancellation of such awards, the Employee shall receive a deferred contingent cash payment with respect to each such cancelled award equal to (X) the Base Performance Share Value determined for such cancelled award, plus (Y) interest on such unpaid Base Performance Share Value from the date of the Change of Control to the date of payment at the Prime Rate, such cash payment to be made on the last day of the applicable performance period for such award, provided that the Employee remains employed by the Partnership, an Affiliate, or one of their successors through the last day of the applicable performance period.

other similar corporate transaction or event), then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the related plan or award agreement, all of the Employee’s outstanding Unvested Equity Awards shall be cancelled and, in consideration for the cancellation of such awards, the Employee shall receive:

(i) a cash payment equal to (X) the fair market value of the shares underlying all of the Employee’s unvested stock options as of the date of the Change of Control, less (Y) the aggregate exercise price of such stock options, such cash payment to be made within thirty (30) days after the Change of Control; and

(ii) a deferred contingent cash payment equal to (X) the Base Restricted Share Value, plus (Y) interest on the unpaid Base Restricted Share Value from the date of the Change of Control to the date of payment at the Prime Rate, such cash payment of the Base Restricted Share Value to be made in installments on the applicable vesting dates with respect to the number of shares that would have been issued on that vesting date, plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the unpaid Base Restricted Share Value through such vesting date, provided that the Employee remains employed by the Partnership, an Affiliate, or one of their successors through the applicable date of vesting.

7. Change of Control – Excise Tax.

(a) If in the opinion of Tax Counsel (as defined in Section 7(b)) the Employee will be subject to an excise tax under Code Section 4999 with respect to all or any portion of the payments and benefits to be made by the Company or any of its Affiliates to the Employee, whether upon a Change of Control or following a termination of the Employee’s employment, under this Agreement or otherwise (in the aggregate, “Total Payments”), then such parties agree that the Total Payments shall either be (i) delivered in full, or (ii) reduced to 299.99% of the Employee’s “base amount” for purposes of Code Section 280G (“Scaled Back Amount”), whichever of the foregoing results in the receipt by the Employee of the greatest benefit on an after-tax basis (taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax). If the Employee is entitled to the Scaled Back Amount, then such payments and benefits shall be reduced or eliminated by applying the following principles, in order: (1) the payment or benefit with the higher ratio of the parachute payment value to present economic value (determined using reasonable actuarial assumptions) shall be reduced or eliminated before a payment or benefit with a lower ratio; (2) the payment or benefit with the later possible payment date shall be reduced or eliminated before a payment or benefit with an earlier payment date; and (3) cash payments shall be reduced prior to non-cash benefits; provided that if the foregoing order of reduction or elimination would violate Code Section 409A, then the reduction shall be made pro rata among the payments or benefits to be received by the Employee (on the basis of the relative present value of the parachute payments).

and it is reasonably possible that such parachute payments could result in an excise tax, within forty (40) days after such other event), the Company shall obtain, at its expense, the opinion (which need not be unqualified) of nationally recognized tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”) selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board, which sets forth (i) the “base amount” within the meaning of Code Section 280G; (ii) the aggregate present value of the payments in the nature of compensation to the Employee as prescribed in Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii); (iii) the amount and present value of any “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(1); and (iv) as applicable, (X) the net after-tax proceeds to the Employee, taking into account the tax imposed by Code Section 4999 if the Total Payments were delivered in full, and (Y) the amount and nature of the parachute payments to be reduced or forfeited according to Section 7(a) in order for the total payments and benefits to equal the Scaled Back Amount. For purposes of such opinion, the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Company’s independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Code Section 280G and regulations thereunder, which determination shall be evidenced in a certificate of such auditors addressed to the Company and the Employee. Such opinion shall be addressed to the Company and the Employee and shall be binding upon the Company, its Affiliates, and the Employee.

8. Plan of Liquidation. If the shareholders of the Company approve a complete plan of liquidation or dissolution of the Company (“Approved Liquidation Plan”), all Unvested Equity Awards that are not Performance Awards will fully vest on the date of such approval and all such awards that are Performance Awards shall vest to the extent the performance goals established under such awards have been achieved on such date (as if the Employee had satisfied all employment conditions required to vest), with the corresponding performance period for such award(s) deemed completed as of the date immediately preceding the date of such approval. Shares of common stock that so vest will be deemed outstanding as of the close of business on the date of such approval, and certificates representing such shares shall be delivered to the Employee as promptly as practicable thereafter. Any Performance Awards not vesting on the date of such approval shall be immediately cancelled without consideration therefor. In addition, unless the Approved Liquidation Plan shall have been rescinded, if the Partnership terminates the Employee’s employment without Cause or the Employee terminates the Employee’s employment for Good Reason in each case following shareholder approval of the Approved Liquidation Plan, then the Employee shall receive the benefits provided in Sections 4(a), 4(b) and 4(c), as applicable.

9. Retirement and Performance Shares. If the Employee’s termination of employment constitutes a Qualifying Retirement, then the Employee’s unvested stock options, restricted stock and stock rights awards (other than performance shares) will vest on the date of retirement set forth in the notice thereof, and if the Qualifying Retirement occurs on or after a Change of Control, then the provision of Section 4(c) shall also apply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any related plan or award agreement, the Employee shall be entitled to exercise all vested stock options until the earlier of (a) three years after the date of Qualifying Retirement, and (b) the original terms of the options. Unless an award agreement provides for more favorable treatment, upon a Qualifying Retirement, the Employee shall continue to have the right to earn unvested performance shares upon the achievement of the applicable performance goals over any remaining performance period, as if the Employee’s employment had not been terminated.

10. Death and Disability. In no event shall a termination of the Employee’s employment due to death or Disability constitute a termination by the Partnership without Cause or a termination by the Employee for Good Reason; however, upon termination of employment due to the Employee’s death or Disability, the Employee’s estate or the Employee, as applicable, shall receive the benefits provided in Section 4(b) or 4(c) with respect to unvested stock options, restricted stock and stock rights awards (other than performance shares), and the Employee’s estate or the Employee, as applicable, shall continue to have the right to earn unvested performance shares upon the achievement of the applicable performance goals over any remaining performance period, as if the Employee’s employment had not been terminated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any related plan or award agreement, (a) the Employee’s estate shall be entitled to exercise all vested stock options until the earlier of (i) three years after termination of employment due to death, and (ii) the original term of the option, and (b) the Employee shall be entitled to exercise all vested stock options until the earlier of (i) one year after termination of employment due to Disability, and (ii) the original term of the option. For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed terminated for Disability if the Employee is (or would be if a participant) entitled to long-term disability benefits under the Partnership’s disability plan or policy or, if no such plan or policy is in place, if the Company determines that the Employee has been unable to substantially perform his or her duties, due to a medically-determinable physical or mental incapacity, for one-hundred eighty (180) consecutive days.

11. Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any other Section of this Agreement, if the Employee is a Specified Employee at the time of the Employee’s Separation from Service, payments or distribution of property to the Employee provided under this Agreement, to the extent considered amounts deferred under a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (as defined in Code Section 409A) shall be deferred until the six (6) month anniversary of such Separation from Service to the extent required in order to comply with Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(2).

12. Reductions in Base Salary. For purposes of this Agreement, in the event there is a reduction in the Employee’s base salary that would constitute the basis for a termination for Good Reason, the base salary used for purposes of calculating the severance payable pursuant to Sections 3 or 4(a), as the case may be, shall be the amounts in effect immediately prior to such reduction.

13. Other Payments and Benefits. On any termination of employment, including, without limitation, termination due to the Employee’s death or Disability (as defined in Section 10) or for Cause, the Employee shall receive any accrued but unpaid salary, reimbursement of any business or other expenses incurred prior to termination of employment but for which the Employee had not received reimbursement, and any other rights, compensation and/or benefits as may be due the Employee in accordance with the terms and provisions of any agreements, plans or programs of the Company or the Partnership (but in no event shall the Employee be entitled to duplicative rights, compensation and/or benefits).

14. Set Off; Mitigation. The obligation of the Company or the Partnership to pay or provide the Employee the amounts or benefits under this Agreement shall be subject to set-off, counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by the Employee to the Company or the Partnership. In addition, except as provided in Section 7 with respect to the Scaled Back Amount, if applicable, the Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payments or benefits provided to the Employee hereunder by securing other employment or otherwise, nor will such payments and/or benefits be reduced by reason of the Employee securing other employment or for any other reason.

15. Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Partnership shall have any obligation to pay any amount or provide any benefit, as the case may be, under this Agreement, unless the Employee executes, delivers to the Partnership, and does not revoke (to the extent the Employee is allowed to do so as set forth in the General Release), a General Release within sixty (60) days of the Employee’s termination of employment.

16. Restrictive Covenants and Consulting Arrangement.

(a) The Employee will not use or disclose any confidential information of any Regency Entity without the Company’s prior written consent, except in furtherance of the business of the Regency Entities or except as may be required by law. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, the Employee agrees not to participate in or facilitate the dissemination to the media or any other third party (i) of any confidential information concerning any Regency Entity or any employee of any Regency Entity, or (ii) of any damaging or defamatory information concerning any Regency Entity or the Employee’s experiences as an employee of any Regency Entity, without the Company’s prior written consent except as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 16(a) does not apply to information which is already in the public domain through no fault of the Employee.

(b) During the Employee’s employment and during the one (1) year period after the Employee ceases to be employed by any of the Regency Entities, the Employee agrees that:

(i) the Employee shall not directly or knowingly and intentionally through another party recruit, induce, solicit or assist any other Person in recruiting, inducing or soliciting (A) any other employee of any Regency Entity to leave such employment or (B) any other Person with which any Regency Entity was actively conducting negotiations for employment on the date of termination of the Employee’s employment (the “Termination Date”); and

any prospective tenant, property owner, co-investor partner or build-to-suit customer with which any Regency Entity was actively conducting negotiations on the Termination Date with respect to a lease, acquisition, business combination, co-investment partnership or development project to cease such negotiations.

(c) For a six (6) month period following any termination of employment, the Employee agrees to make himself available and, upon and as requested by the Company or the Partnership from time to time, to provide consulting services with respect to any projects the Employee was involved in prior to such termination and/or to provide such other consulting services as the Company or the Partnership may reasonably request. The Employee will be reimbursed for reasonable travel and miscellaneous expenses incurred in connection with the provision of requested consulting services hereunder. The Company or the Partnership will provide the Employee reasonable advance notice of any request to provide consulting services, and will make all reasonable accommodations necessary to prevent the Employee’s commitment hereunder from materially interfering with the Employee’s employment obligations, if any. In no event will the Employee be required to provide more than twenty (20) hours of consulting services in any one month to the Company and the Partnership pursuant to this provision.

(d) The parties agree that any breach of this Section 16 will result in irreparable harm to the non-breaching party which cannot be fully compensated by monetary damages and accordingly, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 16, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief. Should any provision of this Section 16 be determined by a court of law or equity to be unreasonable or unenforceable, the parties agree that to the extent it is valid and enforceable, they shall be bound by the same, the intention of the parties being that the parties be given the broadest protection allowed by law or equity with respect to such provision.

17. Survival. The provisions of Sections 3 through 22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement to the extent necessary to enforce the rights and obligations described therein.

18. Compliance with Code Section 409A. For purposes of applying the provisions of Code Section 409A to this Agreement, each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In addition, to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A, any series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company or the Partnership, as the case may be.

19. Withholding. The Company or the Partnership shall withhold from all payments to the Employee hereunder all amounts required to be withheld under applicable local, state or federal income and employment tax laws.

20. Clawbacks. All incentive-based compensation paid to the Employee hereunder will be subject to the policies of the Company and the Partnership regarding clawbacks of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation triggered by an accounting restatement, as required by law and approved by the Board in the case of the Company.

21. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy or claim between the Company or the Partnership and the Employee or other person arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration conducted in the City of Jacksonville, Florida, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association then in force and Florida law within thirty (30) days after written notice from one party to the other requesting that the matter be submitted to arbitration; provided that this Section 21 shall not apply to, and the Company and the Partnership shall be free to seek, injunctive or other equitable relief with respect to any actual or threatened violation by the Employee of his or her obligations under Section 16 hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration decision or award shall be binding and final upon the parties. The arbitration award shall be in writing and shall set forth the basis thereof. The parties hereto shall abide by all awards rendered in such arbitration proceedings, and all such awards may be enforced and executed upon in any court having jurisdiction over the party against whom enforcement of such award is sought. Each party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses in any dispute or proceeding regarding the enforcement of this Agreement.

22. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida (exclusive of conflict of law principles). In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder shall not be affected thereby. This Agreement supersedes and terminates any prior employment agreement, severance agreement, change of control agreement or non-competition agreement between the Company or the Partnership and the Employee. It is intended that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are in lieu of, and not in addition to, termination, severance or change of control payments and benefits provided under the other termination or severance plans, policies or agreements, if any, of the Company or the Partnership. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Employee and the Employee’s heirs and personal representatives, the Company and the Partnership, and their successors, assigns and legal representatives. Headings herein are inserted for convenience and shall not affect the interpretation of any provision of the Agreement. References to sections of the Exchange Act or the Code, or rules or regulations related thereto, shall be deemed to refer to any successor provisions, as applicable. The Company and the Partnership will require any successors thereto (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to expressly assume and agree to perform under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company and the Partnership would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement may not be terminated, amended, or modified except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
