Florida Business Corporation Act (the &#147;Florida Act&#148;) permits a Florida
corporation to indemnify a present or former director or officer of the corporation (and

liabilities, including legal expenses, arising by reason of service in such capacity if
such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in

such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. However, in the
case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be
made with respect to any matter as to which such director or officer shall have been
adjudged liable, except in certain limited circumstances. </FONT></P>

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the registrant or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by the director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue. </FONT></P>

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The
Florida Business Corporation Act (the "Florida Act") permits a Florida
corporation to indemnify a present or former director or officer of the corporation (and
certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities) for
liabilities, including legal expenses, arising by reason of service in such capacity if
such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in any criminal proceeding if
such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. However, in the
case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be
made with respect to any matter as to which such director or officer shall have been
adjudged liable, except in certain limited circumstances.
The
Company's Bylaws provide that the registrant shall indemnify directors and executive
officers to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the Florida Act. In addition,

offering           thereof.
(3)               To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
          securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
          offering.
(4)               That,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each           filing
of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or           Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act (and each filing of the Regency Centers 401(k)           Profit
Sharing Plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the           Exchange
Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement           shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities           offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be           deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the registrant or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by the director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
