Securities Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 26, 2009 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, Cedar Shopping Centers Partnership L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, RioCan Holdings and RioCan REIT, RioCan Holdings acquired, on October 30, 2009, 6,666,666 shares of Common Stock at a price of $6.00 per share and a warrant to purchase 1,428,570 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Equity Investment”). The warrant is exercisable at any time up to two years following the closing of the Equity Investment at a price of $7.00 per share. RioCan Holdings has agreed not to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock or the warrant for one year, subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, the Company’s board of directors agreed to waive a prohibition contained in the Company’s articles of incorporation with respect

CUSIP No.: 150602209

Page 5 of 11 Pages

to any person owning more than 9.9% of the Common Stock in order to permit RioCan Holdings to acquire up to 16% of the outstanding Common Stock.

RioCan Holdings has agreed that for a period of three years after closing of the Equity Investment, except as otherwise agreed, it will not without the prior consent of the Company’s board of directors (a) acquire, directly or indirectly, any additional securities of the Company, (b) directly or indirectly or through any other person, solicit proxies with respect to securities under any circumstance or become a “participant” in any “election contest” relating to the election of directors of the Company (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A under the Act); provided, that RioCan Holdings may vote its shares in any manner it deems appropriate; (c) deposit any securities in a voting trust, or subject any securities to a voting or similar agreement; (d) directly or indirectly or through or in conjunction with any other person, engage in a tender or exchange offer for the Company’s securities made by any other person or entity without the prior approval of the Company, or engage in any proxy solicitation or any other activity with any other person or entity relating to the Company without the prior approval of the Company; or (e) take any action alone or in concert with any other person to acquire or change the control of the Company or participate in any group that is seeking to obtain or take control of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RioCan Holdings may acquire additional shares of the Common Stock on the open market if its ownership interest is diluted in connection with certain events such as the issuance of securities in an acquisition, merger, joint venture or sale or purchase of assets. Moreover, the three-year standstill period described above shall no longer apply and RioCan Holdings may acquire additional shares of the Common Stock in the event a public tender offer is made and the Company announces (i) a recommended sale or merger transaction or (ii) a process to solicit proposals to acquire or merge with the Company.

RioCan Holdings also has, subject to certain exceptions, a pre-emptive right to maintain its percentage ownership interest in the Company with respect to the Company’s issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock, provided that RioCan Holdings owns at least 9.9% of the Common Stock. Additionally, RioCan Holdings has the right to nominate one member of RioCan REIT’s senior management or its board of trustees to serve as a director on the Company’s board of directors. Raghunath Davloor, RioCan’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, was appointed to the board of directors of the Company at the closing of the Equity Investment as RioCan Holdings’ initial nominee.

The Securities Purchase Agreement may be amended, modified or waived by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties thereto.

Pursuant to the Guaranty given by RioCan REIT in favor of the Company and Cedar Shopping Centers Partnership L.P., dated October 26, 2009 (the “Guaranty”), RioCan REIT has guaranteed the performance of RioCan Holdings’ obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 30, 2009, and as amended by the First Subsequent Purchase Agreement, between the Company and RioCan Holdings, the Company agreed to register the shares of Common Stock acquired by RioCan Holdings, including those under the warrant, within six months of February 5, 2010. The Company is responsible for the costs and expenses associated with such registration.

The Company will keep the registration statement and prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) twenty-four months after the later of the effective date of the registration statement and

CUSIP No.: 150602209

Page 6 of 11 Pages

October 26, 2010, (ii) the date on which all such registrable securities have been disposed of under such registration statement and (iii) such time as all such registrable securities have been otherwise transferred to holders who may trade such securities without restriction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Company has delivered a new certificate of ownership without a restrictive legend (the earliest of such dates being the “Expiration Date”) or as otherwise reasonably requested by the holders of such securities.

The Company has the right to include shares of other holders of Common Stock in any registration statement under the Registration Rights Agreement, provided that it does not negatively impact such registration with respect to RioCan Holdings or affiliates. Commencing on the Expiration Date and for three years thereafter, if the Company (i) proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities by the Company for its own account or for stockholders of the Company for their account other than a registration statement on Forms S-8 or S-4 or any such equivalent then in effect and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of registrable securities held by RioCan Holdings or its affiliates, the Company shall provide RioCan Holdings or its affiliates with written notice that they may include their registrable securities therein or (ii) has then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to equity securities of the Company (other than a registration statement on Forms S-8 or S-4 or any such equivalent then in effect or the registration statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company on November 17, 2008) and such registration statement may be used for the registration of registrable securities held by RioCan Holdings or its affiliates, then the Company shall register the sale of such registrable securities as RioCan Holdings or affiliates may request, subject to certain exceptions.

The Registration Rights Agreement may be amended or modified, and its provisions may be waived, with the consent of the Company and RioCan Holdings.

Agreement Regarding Purchase of Partnership Interests

Pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Purchase of Partnership Interests, dated October 26, 2009 (the “Partnership Interests Agreement”), between Cedar Shopping Centers Partnership L.P. and RioCan Holdings, the parties thereto have agreed to form a joint venture with respect to seven supermarket-anchored properties owned and managed by the Company as of the date thereof. The Company will hold a 20% interest in the joint venture and RioCan Holdings will acquire the remaining 80% interest. The properties consist of supermarket-anchored shopping centers in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. Closing for all but two of the properties are subject to receipt of lender consents to the transfer of properties to the joint venture. Closings of the joint venture arrangements are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2010 (the first two such closings occurred on December 10, 2009; the third such closing occurred on February 4, 2010 and the fourth such closing occurred on February 23, 2010).

Additionally, RioCan Holdings and the Company have agreed to enter into additional joint ventures to be owned 80%/20% to acquire additional supermarket-anchored retail properties, primarily in the northeastern United States during the next two years. Related to the future acquisitions, the Company has granted to RioCan Holdings a right of first refusal for two years in the same joint venture format on primarily supermarket-anchored properties and other properties in excess of 50,000 square feet to be acquired by the Company in the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland and Virginia. The Company in return will have a first right of refusal on RioCan Holdings’ and its affiliates’ opportunities to acquire income producing properties that are located in the same states as above (subject to certain exceptions). The first such additional joint-

venture acquisition closed on January 26, 2010 for Town Square Plaza shopping center in Reading, Pennsylvania.

In both the existing and future joint ventures, the Company will provide property management, leasing, construction management and financial management services at standard rates. The Company will also be entitled to certain fees on acquisitions, dispositions, financings and refinancings.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth therein, the Partnership Interests Agreement may be modified by an agreement in writing signed by all the parties thereto or their respective successors in interest.

First Subsequent Purchase Agreement

In order to maintain the Reporting Persons’ proportionate interest in the Company, on February 8, 2010, RioCan Holdings acquired 1,250,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “First Additional Shares”) at a price of $6.60 per share, in response to a public offering by the Company. The acquisition of the First Additional Shares was pursuant to that certain Agreement (the “First Subsequent Purchase Agreement”), dated February 5, 2010, between RioCan Holdings and the Company. Additionally, the First Subsequent Purchase Agreement amended (i) the Securities Purchase Agreement to correct a typographical error and (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement in order to provide certain registration rights thereunder with respect to the Additional Shares (as defined below) and to revise the timeframe for registration of Common Stock.

The First Subsequent Purchase Agreement may be amended or modified, and its provisions may be waived, with the consent of the Company and RioCan Holdings.

Second Subsequent Purchase Agreement

In order to maintain the Reporting Persons’ proportionate interest in the Company, on March 9, 2010, RioCan Holdings acquired 100,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Second Additional Shares” and, together with the First Additional Shares, the “Additional Shares”) at a price of $6.60 per share, in response to the exercise by the underwriters of the Company’s recent public offering of their over-allotment option. The acquisition of the Second Additional Shares was pursuant to that certain Agreement (the “Second Subsequent Purchase Agreement”), dated March 9, 2010, between RioCan Holdings and the Company.

The Second Subsequent Purchase Agreement may be amended or modified, and its provisions may be waived, with the consent of the Company and RioCan Holdings.

As of the date of this statement, except as set forth herein (including, without limitation, RioCan Holdings’ ability, at its discretion, to participate in the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan), none of the Reporting Persons or Mr. MacKinnon has any present plan or intention which would result in or relate to any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although either of them may develop such plans or proposals.

CUSIP No.: 150602209

The Reporting Persons intend to review on a continuing basis their respective investments in the Company. As of the date of this statement, no determination has been made by RioCan REIT or RioCan Holdings to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of any shares of Common Stock now held by them, although either of them may decide to so acquire or dispose of shares of Common Stock in a manner consistent with their rights and obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Partnership Interests Agreement or the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan, as they may be amended from time to time.
