The annual meeting of stockholders of One Liberty Properties, Inc. will be held at our offices, located at Suite 303, 60 Cutter Mill Road, Great Neck, NY, on Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. local time. We are holding the meeting for the following purposes:

Holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on April 17, 2012 are entitled to notice of the annual meeting and to vote at the meeting and any adjournment thereof.

It is important that your shares be represented and voted at the meeting. To assure that your vote will be counted, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card and return it in the enclosed prepaid envelope, whether or not you plan to attend the meeting. Most stockholders can also vote by telephone or via the internet. Telephone and internet voting information is provided on the accompanying proxy card. Your proxy may be revoked in the manner described in the accompanying proxy statement at any time before it has been voted at the meeting.

We urge each stockholder to promptly sign and return the enclosed proxy card or use telephone or internet voting. See our questions and answers about the meeting for information about voting by telephone or internet, how to revoke a proxy, and how to vote shares in person.

Our board of directors is furnishing you with this proxy statement to solicit proxies on its behalf to be voted at the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders of One Liberty Properties, Inc. The meeting will be held at our offices, 60 Cutter Mill Road, Suite 303, Great Neck, NY 11021 on June 12, 2012 at 9:00 a.m., local time. The proxies will be voted at the meeting and may also be voted at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting.

All properly executed proxy cards, and all properly completed proxies submitted by telephone or by the internet, that are delivered pursuant to this solicitation, will be voted at the meeting in accordance with your directions, unless the proxy is revoked before the meeting.

We are mailing this proxy statement on or about April 25, 2012 to our stockholders of record on April 17, 2012. The record date was established by our board of directors. Stockholders as of the close of business on the record date of April 17, 2012 are entitled to receive notice of and to vote their shares at the meeting. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote. As of the record date, 14,787,152 shares of our common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting.

If you are a stockholder of record on April 17, 2012 and attend the annual meeting, you may vote in person at the meeting. If your shares are held by a bank, broker or other nominee (i.e., in "street name") and if you wish to vote in person at the annual meeting, you must contact the nominee to obtain evidence of your ownership of our common stock as of the record date. If you hold your shares directly (i.e., the share certificate or certificates representing your shares are registered in your name), you may complete, sign and date the accompanying proxy card and return it in the prepaid envelope, and your shares will be voted according to your instructions.

If you do not mark any selections but return the signed proxy card, your shares will be voted by the proxies named on the proxy card in favor of the three nominees for election as directors, in favor of our approval of the 2012 Incentive Plan, in favor of the proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2012, and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to other matters that properly come before the meeting. Registered holders (i.e., those who hold shares directly rather than through a bank or broker) can simplify their voting by calling 1-800-PROXIES (776-9437) or by accessing the internet website www.voteproxy.com. Telephone voting information and internet voting information is provided on the proxy card. The internet and telephone voting facilities for stockholders of record will close at 11:59 p.m., local time, on June 11, 2012. You should be aware that if you vote over the internet you may incur costs, such as telephone and internet access charges, for which you will be responsible. If you vote by telephone or via the internet, it is not necessary to return your proxy card. If you attend the meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy or vote in person.

If you wish to name as a proxy someone other than the proxies named on the proxy card, you may do so by crossing out the name of the designated proxies and inserting the name of another person. In that case, it will be necessary to sign the proxy card and deliver it to the person so named and for the person so named to be present at and vote at the meeting. Proxy cards so marked should not be mailed to us or to American Stock Transfer and Trust Company LLC, our transfer agent.

Yes. Under applicable rules, brokers, banks and other nominees are prohibited from voting shares held in street name on matters pertaining to the election of directors and the approval of our 2012 Incentive Plan, unless the client specifically instructs his or her nominee to vote their shares. Shares held in street name and for which voting instructions are not provided and accordingly, as to which bank, brokers and other nominees do not have discretionary authority to vote on their clients' behalf, are referred to "broker non-votes." Because "broker non-votes" will have the effect of a vote against these proposals, it is very important that you vote your shares.

A representative of our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC, will tabulate the votes and act as inspector of elections.

If you hold stock directly in your name, you may revoke a proxy at any time before it is voted at the annual meeting with a later dated, properly executed proxy (including an internet or telephone vote), or a written revocation delivered to our Secretary. The proxy holders' powers may also be suspended if you attend the meeting and notify our Secretary at the meeting that you would like to change your vote or vote in person. If your stock is held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, you must contact such nominee and comply with the nominee's procedures if you want to revoke or change the instructions that you previously provided to the nominee. Attendance at the meeting will not by itself automatically revoke a previously granted proxy.

A quorum is the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders holding a majority of shares entitled to vote at the meeting. To constitute a quorum, at least 7,393,577 shares must be present in person or by proxy at the meeting. Generally, action cannot be taken at the meeting unless a quorum is present.

The vote of a plurality of all of the votes cast at the meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary for the election of directors. The three individuals receiving the greatest number of affirmative votes will be elected directors. For purposes of the election of directors, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

The affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes cast on the proposal to approve the 2012 Incentive Plan is required for the approval thereof, provided that the total vote cast on the proposal represents over 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock. For purposes of this vote, abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposal and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against the proposal, unless holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote on the proposal cast votes, in which event broker non-votes will not have any effect on the results of the vote.

Our board of directors is soliciting votes for the meeting and we will pay the entire cost of the solicitation, including preparing and mailing this proxy statement. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail and through our and our affiliates' employees, we will request banks, brokers, custodians, nominees and other record holders to forward copies of the proxy statement and other soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold shares and to request authority for the exercise of proxies. We will reimburse such record holders for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding proxies and proxy materials to stockholders. We have retained Phoenix Advisory Partners for a fee of $4,500, plus reasonable out of pocket expenses, to aid in the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders. To the extent necessary to ensure sufficient representation at the meeting, we or our proxy solicitor may solicit the return of proxies by personal interview, mail, telephone, facsimile, internet or other means of electronic transmission. The extent to which this will be necessary depends upon how promptly proxies are returned. We urge you to send in your proxy without delay.

We are sending only one proxy statement to eligible stockholders who share a single address, unless we have received instructions to the contrary from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as "householding," is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. However, if a stockholder of record residing at such an address wishes to receive a separate annual report or proxy statement, he or she may request it orally or in writing by contacting us at One Liberty Properties, Inc., 60 Cutter Mill Road, Suite 303, Great Neck, NY 11021, Attention: Investor Relations, by emailing us at simeonb@1liberty.com, or by calling us at 516-466-3100, and we will promptly deliver to the stockholder the requested annual report or proxy statement. If a stockholder of record residing at such an address wishes to receive a separate annual report or proxy statement in the future, he or she may contact us in the same manner. If you are an eligible stockholder of record receiving multiple copies of our annual report and proxy statement, you can request householding by contacting us in the same manner. If you own your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, you can request householding by contacting the nominee.

If a stockholder wants a proposal to be included in our proxy statement for the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, the proposal, in writing and addressed to our Secretary, must be received by us no later than December 26, 2012. Upon timely receipt of any such proposal, we will determine whether or not to include such proposal in the proxy statement in accordance with applicable regulations governing the solicitation of proxies.

For any proposal that is not submitted for inclusion in next year's proxy statement, but is instead intended to be presented directly at the 2013 annual meeting, rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission permit us to exercise discretionary voting authority to the extent conferred by proxy if we:

Notices of intention to present proposals at our 2013 annual meeting should be submitted in writing and addressed to our Secretary.

Stockholders can call (516) 466-3100 or write to us at 60 Cutter Mill Road, Suite 303, Great Neck, NY 11021, Attention: Secretary, to request a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. This and other important information about us is also available on our web site which is located at www.onelibertyproperties.com. Our Annual Report to Stockholders accompanies this proxy statement.

Pursuant to the Maryland General Corporation Law and our by-laws, as amended, our business, property and affairs are managed by or under the direction of our board of directors. Members of the board are kept informed of our business through discussions with our chief executive officer, chairman of our board and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of the board and its committees.

During 2011, the board held five meetings. All of the directors attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the board of directors and the board committees of which such director was a member. Our directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. We encourage our directors to attend the annual meeting of stockholders. Last year, nine of our directors attended our annual meeting of stockholders.

The board of directors has designated J. Robert Lovejoy as its "Independent Lead Director." Among other things, the Lead Director presides at, and prepares the agenda for, executive sessions of the independent directors, recommends to the Chairman of the Board matters to be considered, and materials to be reviewed by the board, serves as an independent point of contact for stockholders desiring to communicate with the board and performs such other duties and responsibilities as are assigned to him by a majority of the non-management directors.

Our company is led by Fredric H. Gould, chairman of our board, and Patrick J. Callan, Jr., president and chief executive officer. Although the board of directors has not established a policy on whether the role of the chairman and chief executive officer should be separated, the board of directors believes this is the most appropriate structure at this time because it makes the best use of the abilities of Messrs. Gould and Callan. The board does not believe that its risk oversight activities have any effect on the board's leadership structure.

Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks we face. Our board of directors has overall responsibility for overseeing risk management with a focus on the more significant risks facing us. Our audit committee oversees risk policies and processes related to our financial statements, financial reporting processes and liquidity risks, our compensation committee oversees risks relating to renumeration of our full-time officers, and our nominating and corporate governance committee oversees corporate governance risks.

A portion of each quarterly meeting of the audit committee is devoted to reviewing tenant credit risks, issues related to tenant matters and property operations which might have a material adverse impact on current or future operations, the status of issues previously considered by the audit committee with respect to tenant matters or property operations, liquidity risks, management of debt maturities and, as required, to review risks arising from related party transactions and compliance with debt covenants. Each audit committee meeting is attended by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer who are there to, among other things, respond to issues relating to tenant matters or property operations. In addition, at each meeting of the audit committee, our chief financial officer, the accounting firm performing the internal audit function on behalf of the company, and our independent registered public accounting firm report to the committee with respect to compliance with our internal control policies in order to ascertain that no failures of a significant or material nature have occurred. This process assists the audit committee in overseeing the risks related to our financial statements and the financial reporting process.

At each meeting of the board of directors, a portion of the meeting is dedicated to reviewing and discussing significant risk issues reviewed by the audit committee.

Our compensation committee monitors risks associated with our compensation structure. The compensation committee does not believe that the compensation programs which are in place give rise to any risk that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics, as amended and restated, that is designed to help our directors, officers, employees, agents and consultants resolve ethical issues. This code applies to all directors, officers, employees, agents and consultants, including our chief executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or persons performing similar functions. The code covers a variety of topics, including those required by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange. Topics covered include conflicts of interest, confidentiality of information, and compliance with laws and regulations. The code of business conduct and ethics, as amended and restated, is available at the corporate governance section of our website at www.onelibertyproperties.com/corporate_governance and a copy may be obtained, without charge, by writing to us at 60 Cutter Mill Road, Suite 303, Great Neck, New York 11021, Attention: Secretary. During 2011, there were no amendments to the code of business conduct and ethics and no waivers of the provisions of the code of business conduct and ethics with respect to any of our directors, officers, employees, agents or consultants. We will post any amendments to, or waivers of, our code of business conduct and ethics, as amended and restated, on our website.

We have three standing committees: audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance. Our board has adopted corporate governance guidelines that address the make-up and function of the board and a charter for each of these committees. The charter for each committee requires that such committee be comprised of at least three independent directors and in the case of the audit committee, also requires that at least one member of the committee qualify as a "financial expert." All of the members of each committee were independent during their period of service on such committee and in the case of the audit committee, each such member was also financially literate.

You can find each charter and the corporate governance guidelines by accessing the corporate governance section of our website at: www.onelibertyproperties.com/corporate_governance. You may also obtain, without charge, a copy of each charter and the corporate governance guidelines by writing to us at 60 Cutter Mill Road, Suite 303, Great Neck, New York 11021, Attention: Secretary.

The table below provides membership and meeting information for each of the standing board committees for 2011:

This committee is responsible for assisting the board in overseeing, among other things, (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the independent registered public accounting firm's qualifications and independence, (iv) the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm, (v) the performance of the accounting firm performing our internal control audit function, and (vi) the preparation of the audit committee report required by the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in this proxy statement. The audit committee is also responsible for the selection and engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm and for approving related party transactions.

This committee recommends the base salary and annual bonus to our full-time officers, fees to be paid to our directors and recommends and/or determines awards under our equity based incentive plans.

This committee is responsible for, among other things, recommending a slate of directors for election to the board of directors at the annual stockholders' meeting, recommending committee assignments to the board of directors, identifying and recommending candidates to fill vacancies on the board of directors between annual stockholder meetings, recommending a slate of officers for election by the board of directors at the annual directors' meeting, proposing, monitoring and recommending changes to our corporate governance guidelines and overseeing the evaluation of effectiveness of our board of directors and the committees thereof.

The board believes that it should be comprised of directors with complementary backgrounds, and that directors should, at a minimum, have experience which is relevant to our business or otherwise be of assistance to the board in its deliberations. Our nominating and corporate governance committee (the "nominating committee") has not adopted a formal diversity policy in connection with the consideration of director nominations or the selection of nominees. It considers the personal and professional attributes and the experience of each director candidate to promote diversity of expertise and experience among our directors. Additionally, directors should possess the highest personal and professional ethics in order to perform their duties properly, and should be willing and able to devote the required amount of time to our business.

When considering candidates for director, the nominating committee will take into account a number of factors, including the following:

The nominating committee will consider candidates for director suggested by stockholders applying the criteria for candidates described above and considering the additional information referred to below. Stockholders wishing to suggest a candidate for director should write to our Secretary and include:

When seeking candidates for director, the nominating committee may solicit suggestions from management, incumbent directors and others. The nominating committee or its chairman will interview a candidate if it believes the candidate might be suitable to be a director. The nominating committee may also ask the candidate to meet with management.

The nominating committee generally intends to recommend that the Board nominate incumbent directors whom the committee believes will continue to make important contributions to us, inasmuch as the committee believes that the continuing service of qualified incumbents promotes stability and continuity, giving us the benefit of the familiarity and insight into our affairs that its directors have accumulated during their tenure, while contributing to the Board's ability to work as a collective body.

The board reviews director independence annually and bases its independence determinations primarily on a review of the responses of the directors to questions regarding employment and compensation history, affiliations, family and other relationships and discussions with the directors.

In determining whether our directors are independent, our board of directors employs the New York Stock Exchange director independence standards. These standards provide:

Our board has determined that each of Joseph A. Amato, James J. Burns, Charles Biederman, Joseph A. DeLuca, Louis P. Karol, J. Robert Lovejoy and Eugene I. Zuriff are independent. In evaluating Mr. Biederman's independence, the board, at its March 19, 2012 meeting, took into account a transaction in 2009 pursuant to which Fredric H. Gould, Chairman of the Board of Directors, purchased from an institution for an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance, a mortgage loan secured by a property owned personally by Mr. Biederman. Mr. Gould waived interest payments after his acquisition of the loan. Mr. Biederman repaid the unpaid principal balance of the loan in October 2010.

None of the compensation committee members were ever officers or employees of our company or has had any relationship requiring disclosure by us under any paragraph of Item 404 (Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons) of Regulation S-K.

Stockholders, employees and other interested persons who want to communicate with the board, any committee of the board, or any individual director can write to:

At each board meeting, the Secretary will present a summary of all communications received since the last meeting that were not forwarded and make those communications available to the directors on request.

In the event that a stockholder, employee or other interested person would like to communicate with our non-management directors confidentially, they may do so by sending a letter to "Independent Lead Director" at the address set forth above. Please note that the envelope must contain a clear notation that it is confidential.

Effective as of January 1, 2012, the compensation of our non-management directors consists of the following elements:

Pursuant to our by-laws, as amended, the number of directors was fixed at eleven by our board of directors. The board is divided into three classes. Each class is elected to serve a three year term and is to be as equal in size as is possible, The classes are elected on a staggered basis. The terms of Joseph A. DeLuca, Fredric H. Gould and Eugene I. Zuriff expire at the 2012 annual meeting. Each of them has been recommended to the board of directors by the nominating committee for election at the annual meeting. Eight other individuals serve as directors but are not standing for election because their terms extend past the date of the annual meeting. Proxies will not be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named in the proxy statement.

It is contemplated that all the nominees will stand for election. Should any nominee become unavailable for election, all proxies (except proxies marked to the contrary) will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee recommended by the board of directors.

If any director is unable to serve his full term, the board, by majority vote of the directors then in office, may designate a substitute. Any director chosen by the board prior to the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders will hold office for a term expiring at the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is elected and qualifies.

The following table sets forth information certain information regarding the nominees for director to hold office until the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders:

Louis P. Karol 54 Years		Director since April 2010; Partner of Karol Hausman & Sosnik, P.C., attorneys at law, a firm he founded in 1993, which focuses on estate and trust matters and tax planning. He has also represented entities and individuals in the acquisition and sale of real estate. Mr. Karol holds a masters degree in taxation from New York University School of Law and is admitted to practice in the United States Tax Court. His education and experience are of benefit to our board in its deliberations.

Our board of directors has approved, subject to stockholder approval, the adoption of the One Liberty Properties, Inc. 2012 Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan" or the "Plan").

The board believes that granting equity based compensation is an important component of our compensation structure. The purpose of the Plan is to motivate, retain and attract employees, officers and directors of experience and ability and to further the financial success of our company by aligning the interests of participants in the Plan, through the ownership of shares of common stock, with the interests of our stockholders.

An aggregate of 408,510 shares of restricted stock and 200,000 RSU's issued pursuant to our equity incentive plans were outstanding on April 9, 2012. The shares of restricted stock have a five year cliff-vesting requirement and accordingly, the outstanding restricted shares vest in approximately equal annual amounts through 2017. The 200,000 RSU's vest in 2017 only if and to the extent specified performance or market conditions are met. See "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End." There are 73,640 shares available to be awarded pursuant to our 2009 Incentive Plan (the "2009 Plan") and we propose the adoption of the 2012 Plan pursuant to which up to 600,000 shares may be awarded. If stockholders adopt the 2012 Plan, no further awards will be made under the 2009 Plan. As of April 17, 2012, 14,787,152 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Generally, the awards granted each year have represented less than 1% of our outstanding shares at the time of grant.

It is anticipated that awards will be granted under the Plan to: 14 full-time and part-time executive officers; seven independent directors; and approximately 33 full-time and part-time non-executive officers and employees. The following summary of major features of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual text of the Plan, attached as Annex A.

The total number of shares available for grant under the Plan will not exceed 600,000 shares. The Plan authorizes the discretionary grant of (i) incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (ii) non-qualified stock options, (iii) restricted stock, (iv) RSU's, and (v) performance-based awards (collectively, the "Awards"). The shares available for issuance under the Plan will be authorized but unissued shares of common stock. Shares related to awards that are forfeited, cancelled, terminated or expire unexercised will be available for grant under the Plan. Neither shares tendered by a participant to pay the exercise price of an award, nor any shares withheld by us for taxes will be available for future grants under the Plan. In the event of a stock dividend or stock split affecting our shares, the number of shares issuable and issued under the Plan and the number of shares covered by and the exercise price and other terms of outstanding awards will be adjusted to reflect such event to prevent dilution or diminution of awards.

The Plan will be administered by our compensation committee which, to the extent deemed necessary by the board, will consist of two or more persons who satisfy the requirements for a "non-employee director" under Rule 16(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and/or the requirements for an "outside director" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The compensation committee has authority to administer and construe the Plan in accordance with its provisions. The compensation committee's authority also includes the power to (a) determine persons eligible for awards, (b) prescribe the terms and conditions of awards granted

under the Plan, (c) adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan which are consistent with the Plan and (d) establish, interpret, amend or revoke any such rules.

Stock options entitle the holder to purchase a specified number of shares at a specified exercise price subject to the terms and conditions of the option grant. The purchase price per share for each incentive stock option is determined by the compensation committee, but must be at least 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an individual during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. To the extent that the fair market value of shares with respect to which incentive stock options become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the portion in excess of $100,000 will be treated as a non-qualified option. Options granted under the Plan may be exercisable for a term up to ten years. If a participant owns more than 10% of the total voting power of all classes of our shares at the time the participant is granted an incentive stock option, the option price per share cannot be less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant and the term of the option cannot exceed five years.

Non-qualified options may not be granted at an exercise price per share that is less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of the grant. The maximum aggregate number of shares underlying options that may be granted in one calendar year to an individual participant is 60,000.

The closing price for our shares on the New York Stock Exchange on April 13, 2012 was $18.27 per share. There are no options outstanding under our equity inventive plans.

Restricted stock are shares that may not be sold, transferred, gifted, bequeathed, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of until the end of a specified restriction period. Restricted stock units and RSU's represent the right, upon satisfaction of specified conditions, to receive shares and are subject to the same restrictions on transferability applicable to restricted stock. RSU's and shares of restricted stock will be issued at the beginning of the restriction period and the compensation committee shall set restrictions and other conditions applicable to the vesting of such award, including restrictions based on the achievement of specific performance goals, time based restrictions or on any other basis determined by the compensation committee.

Recipients of restricted stock have the right to vote such shares and to receive and retain cash dividends and other distributions, if any, paid thereon, even if such restricted stock is forfeited in the future. Recipients of RSU's are not entitled to vote or receive dividends with respect to the underlying shares until such shares have been issued. Recipients of restricted stock or RSU's will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate representing the shares until all the restrictions have been fulfilled.

Generally, it is anticipated that any restricted stock or RSU that does not vest on the vesting date, or on a date prior to the vesting date if it is determined that it cannot vest (for example due to the termination of employment prior to achievement of a time based restriction), will be forfeited to us and the recipient will not thereafter have any rights (including rights to dividends and distributions) with respect to these securities.

No more than 60,000 shares of each of restricted stock and RSU's will be awarded to any participant in any calendar year. We will not repurchase outstanding restricted stock or RSU's in exchange for cash. Except as otherwise provided in an award agreement, in the event of the death, disability or retirement (as defined in the Plan) the restriction period shall not automatically terminate. The compensation committee may grant restricted stock or RSU's and set restrictions based upon

performance goals so that such grant would qualify as "performance based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Performance based awards will be made by the issuance of restricted stock, RSU's or other Awards, or a combination thereof, contingent upon the attainment of one or more performance goals (described below) that our compensation committee establishes. The minimum period with respect to which performance goals are measured is one year, but the compensation committee generally intends to establish a performance cycle of not less than three years. The maximum number of shares with respect to which a participant may be granted performance based awards in any calendar year is 60,000 shares.

The terms and conditions of a performance based award will provide for the vesting of the award to be contingent upon the achievement of one or more specified performance goals that the compensation committee establishes. For this purpose, "performance goals" means for a performance cycle, the specific goals that the compensation committee establishes that may be based on one or more of the following performance criteria:

The performance goals need not be the same with respect to all participants and may be established for us as a whole, on a per share basis or may be based on our performance compared to the performance of businesses specified by the compensation committee or compared to any prior period.

No awards may be made under the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Plan's effective date. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time for any reason. However, no amendment shall permit the repricing, replacing or regranting of an option in connection with the cancellation of the Option or by amending an Award Agreement to lower the exercise price of an option or the cancellation of any award in exchange for cash without stockholder approval. In addition, before the plan can be amended, modified or terminated, where such amendment, modification or termination would adversely affect a participant who has already been granted an award, such participant's consent must be obtained.

Any awards granted under the Plan that are outstanding and not then exercisable or subject to restrictions at the time of a change in control (as defined in the Plan) shall, except as otherwise provided in the award agreement, become immediately exercisable and all restrictions shall be removed effective as of such change in control. The Plan defines a change in control as follows:

The federal tax rules applicable to awards under the Plan under the tax code are summarized below. This summary omits the tax laws of any municipality, state, or foreign country in which a participant resides.

Stock option grants under the Plan may be intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the tax code or may be non-qualified stock options governed by Section 83 of the tax code. Generally, federal income tax is not due from a participant upon the grant of a stock option, and a deduction is not taken by us. Under current tax laws, if a participant exercises a non-qualified stock option, he or she will have taxable income equal to the difference between the market price of the common stock on the exercise date and the stock option grant price. We are entitled to a corresponding deduction on our income tax return. A participant will not have any taxable income upon exercising an incentive stock option after the applicable holding periods have been satisfied

(except that the alternative minimum tax may apply), and we will not receive a deduction when an incentive stock option is exercised. The treatment for a participant of a disposition of shares acquired through the exercise of a stock option depends on how long the shares were held and whether the shares were acquired by exercising an incentive stock option or a non-qualified stock option. We may be entitled to a deduction in the case of a disposition of shares acquired under an incentive stock option before the applicable holding periods have been satisfied.

Generally, taxes are not due when a restricted stock (unless the participant makes election under section 83(b) of the Code) or RSU award is initially made, but the award becomes taxable when it is no longer subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture" (it becomes vested or transferable), in the case of restricted stock, or when shares are issuable in connection with vesting, in the case of an RSU. Income tax is paid on the value of the stock or units at ordinary rates when the restrictions lapse, and then at capital gain rates when the shares are sold.

Section 409A of the tax code affects taxation of awards to employees but does not affect our ability to deduct deferred compensation. Section 409A applies to RSUs, performance units, and performance shares. Such grants are taxed at vesting but will be subject to new limits on plan terms governing when vesting may occur. If grants under such plans do not allow employees to elect further deferral on vesting or on distribution, under the regulations, a negative impact should not attach to the grants.

Section 409A of the tax code does not apply to incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options (that are not discounted), and restricted stock, provided that there is no deferral of income beyond the vesting date.

As described above, awards granted under the Plan may qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the tax code. To qualify, stock options and other awards must be granted under the Plan by a committee consisting solely of two or more outside directors (as defined under Section 162 regulations) and satisfy the Plan's limit on the total number of shares that may be awarded to any one participant during any calendar year. In addition, for awards other than stock options to qualify, the grant, issuance, vesting, or retention of the award must be contingent upon satisfying one or more of the performance criteria set forth in the Plan, as established and certified by a committee consisting solely of two or more outside directors.

We have not determined the type, amount or recipients of awards under the Plan. Accordingly, we provide the following table which reflects the awards granted in 2011 pursuant to the 2009 Incentive

Plan to the persons and groups indicated. All of such awards were in the form of restricted stock that vest on a "cliff-vesting" basis five years after grant.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL TO ADOPT THE ONE LIBERTY PROPERTIES, INC. 2012 INCENTIVE PLAN. PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL UNLESS STOCKHOLDERS SPECIFY OTHERWISE.

The audit committee and the board of directors is seeking ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2012. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at our annual meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

We are not required to have our stockholders ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. We are doing so because we believe it is good corporate practice. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection, the audit committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Ernst & Young LLP, but may, in its discretion, decide to retain such independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee, in its discretion, may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our and our stockholders' interests.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2012.

The following table presents the fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP for the services and years indicated:

The audit committee has concluded that the provision of non-audit services listed above is compatible with maintaining the independence of Ernst & Young LLP.

The audit committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services involving our independent registered public accounting firm.

In addition to the audit work necessary for us to file required reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (i.e., quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K), our independent registered public accounting firm may perform non-audit services, other than those prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, provided they are approved in advance by the audit committee. The audit committee approved all audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm in 2011 and 2010.

Annually, the audit committee reviews the audit scope for that year, including the proposed audit fee associated with the audit services in connection with our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The audit committee may, at the time it reviews the proposed audit fees or subsequently thereafter, approve the provision of tax and other non-audit related services and the maximum expenditure which may be incurred for such services for such year. Any fees for the audit in excess of those approved and any fees for non-audit related services in excess of the maximum established by the audit committee must receive the approval of the audit committee.

Proposals for any other non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm must be approved by the audit committee.

The audit committee of the board of directors is comprised of three independent directors and operates under a written charter adopted by the board of directors. The audit committee reviews the charter on an annual basis. The board of directors has reviewed Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the New York Stock Exchange listing standards definition of independence for audit committee members and has determined that each member of the audit committee was independent during his service on the committee.

The role of the audit committee is to select and engage our independent registered public accounting firm and to oversee and monitor, among other things, our financial reporting process, the independence and performance of the independent registered public accounting firm and the functioning of our internal controls. It is the responsibility of management to prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and of the independent registered public accounting firm to perform an independent audit of the financial statements and to express an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles.

The audit committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm and the accounting firm performing the internal control audit function, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the internal controls, and the overall quality of our financial reporting.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the audit committee recommended that the audited financial statements for 2011 be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The audit committee approved the retention of Ernst & Young LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for 2012 after reviewing the firm's performance in 2011 and its independence from us and management.

The following are highlights of our compensation practices; we encourage you to read the more detailed information set forth herein:

This compensation discussion and analysis describes our compensation objectives, policies and decisions as applied to the compensation provided by us in 2011 to our named executive officers. This discussion and analysis focuses on the information contained in the compensation tables that follow this discussion and analysis, but also describes our historic compensation structure to enhance an understanding of our executive compensation disclosure. Our compensation committee oversees our

compensation program, recommends the compensation of the executive officers employed by us on a full-time basis to our board of directors for its approval, recommends the annual fee paid by us to the chairman and vice chairman of our board of directors, and recommends the annual fees paid by us pursuant to a compensation and services agreement to Majestic Property Management Corp., an affiliated entity ("Majestic"), which results in the payment by Majestic of compensation to our part-time officers, including Fredric H. Gould, David W. Kalish and Mark H. Lundy, named executive officers. Majestic is wholly-owned by Fredric H. Gould, the chairman of our board.

We have two categories of officers: (i) officers who devote their full business time to our affairs; and (ii) officers who devote their business time to us on a part-time basis. Our full-time officers and employees are compensated directly and solely by us and our part-time officers and employees are compensated by Majestic which provides to us, pursuant to the compensation and services agreement, the services of other personnel (including executive, administrative and legal, accounting and clerical personnel) performing services on our behalf. In consideration for providing services and the services of such personnel, we paid Majestic a fee of $2,725,000 for 2011. Majestic may earn a profit from payments made to it under the agreement. In addition, under this agreement, we paid the chairman of our board $250,000 in 2011 and made an additional payment to Majestic of $175,000 in 2011 for our share of all direct office expenses, including rent, telephone, computer services, internet usage and supplies. The amount of annual payments to be made by us to Majestic under the compensation and services agreement are negotiated annually by our audit committee and Majestic and at other times as may be determined by our audit committee.

All of our full-time and part-time officers and other employees, including employees of affiliated companies who perform services for us on a part-time basis, receive annual restricted stock awards approved by the compensation committee and the board of directors.

Our named executive officers are Patrick J. Callan, Jr., president and chief executive officer and Lawrence G. Ricketts, Jr., executive vice president and chief operating officer, both of whom devote their full time to our affairs, and Fredric H. Gould, chairman of our board, David W. Kalish, a senior vice president and chief financial officer, and Mark H. Lundy, a senior vice president and secretary, who devote time to our affairs on a part-time basis.

In reviewing our compensation philosophy and practices and in approving base salaries for 2012 and bonuses paid for services rendered in 2011, the compensation committee was aware of the results of our June 2011 "say-on-pay" vote in which approximately 83% of the shares actually voted on such proposal voted to approve our executive compensation practices, and viewed such results as generally supportive of our compensation philosophy, practices and determinations.

A principal objective of our compensation program for full-time officers is to ensure that the total compensation paid to such officers is fair and competitive. The compensation committee believes that relying on this principle will permit us to retain and motivate these officers. With respect to our part-time executive officers, the compensation committee must be satisfied that such officers provide us with sufficient time and attention to fully meet our needs and fully perform their duties on our behalf. The compensation committee is of the opinion that our part-time executive officers perform valuable services on our behalf, devote sufficient time and attention to our business needs, are able to fully meet

our needs and perform their duties effectively. The compensation committee is also of the opinion that utilizing the services of various senior officers with diverse skills on a part-time basis enables us to benefit from a greater degree of executive experience and competence than an organization of our size could otherwise afford.

We have historically experienced an extremely low level of officer and employee turnover. Fredric H. Gould, David W. Kalish and Mark H. Lundy each has been an officer with us for over 20 years and Lawrence G. Ricketts, Jr. has been employed by us for approximately thirteen years. Patrick J. Callan, Jr. has been a member of our board of directors for eight years, our president for over five years and our chief executive officer for over four years.

Our compensation committee refers to the compensation survey prepared for the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) to understand the base salary, bonus, long-term incentives and total compensation paid by other REITs to their officers to assist it in providing a fair and competitive compensation package to our full-time officers. Although there are many REITs engaged in the ownership and management of real estate, there are few equity REITs which have a market capitalization comparable to ours. As a result, the NAREIT compensation survey, although not directly applicable to us, does provide informative data for the compensation committee to use in its deliberations. We determine compensation for our full-time named executive officers on a case-by-case basis and our compensation decisions are subjective. Other than with respect to the RSU's, which are performance based awards issued in 2010, we do not use formal performance targets.

In determining compensation for 2011, the recommendations of Fredric H. Gould, chairman of our board, played a significant role in the compensation setting process since, as chairman of the board, he is aware of each officer's duties and responsibilities and was most qualified to assess the level of each officer's performance. The chairman of our board, prior to making recommendations to the compensation committee concerning each full-time officer's compensation, consulted with other senior executive officers, including our president and chief executive officer. During the process, our overall performance for the immediately preceding fiscal year, including total revenues, funds from operations, net income dividends paid to stockholders, performance of our common stock and acquisition and financing activities were taken into consideration. None of these measures of performance was given more weight than any other. The chairman of the board and other senior officers also assessed each individual's performance in such year, which assessment was highly subjective. During this process, the chairman of our board proposed to the compensation committee with respect to each full-time named executive officer, a base salary for 2011, a bonus applicable to the 2010 and payable in 2011 and the number of shares of restricted stock to be awarded to each full-time named executive officer. At its annual compensation committee meeting, the compensation committee reviewed these recommendations. The compensation committee has discretion to accept, reject or modify the recommendations. The final recommendations by the compensation committee on compensation matters with respect to all officers was reported to the board of directors, which approved the recommendations of the committee.

We believe that using part-time officers pursuant to the compensation and services agreement enables us to benefit from access to, and the services of, a group of senior officers with experience and knowledge in real estate ownership, operations and management and finance, legal, accounting and tax matters that an organization our size could not otherwise afford. Our chairman, in consultation with certain of our part-time senior officers, determines the base compensation, bonus, if any, and

perquisites to be paid in the aggregate to our part-time officers by all entities which are provided services by such officers.

Our part-time officers, including our chairman, also receive compensation from other business entities, most of which are owned or controlled by our chairman, for services rendered to such entities.

The principal elements of our compensation program for our full-time officers are:

Base salary and annual bonus are cash-based, while long-term equity and long-term equity incentives consists of restricted stock awards and RSU's, respectively. In determining compensation, the compensation committee does not have a specific allocation goal between cash and equity-based compensation.

In 2011, except for the $250,000 annual compensation we paid to the chairman of our board and the $100,000 paid to the vice chairman of our board, the only form of direct compensation we provided to our part-time officers was the granting of long-term equity in the form of restricted stock awards. For services rendered to us, our part-time officers are compensated by Majestic, which was paid a fee of $2,725,000 (excluding $175,000 as reimbursement for our share of direct office expenses) in 2011 pursuant to the compensation and services agreement.

Base salary is the basic, least variable form of compensation for the job an officer performs and provides each officer with a guaranteed monthly income.

Full-time Officers: Base salaries of full-time officers are targeted to be competitive with the salaries paid to officers at other REITs with a market capitalization similar to ours. Any increase in base salary is determined on a case by case basis, is not formula based and is based upon, among other considerations (i) our performance in the preceding year, (ii) such officer's current base salary, (iii) amounts paid by other REITs for officers performing substantially similar functions, (iv) years of service, (v) job responsibilities, (vi) the individual's performance and (vii) the recommendation of the chairman of the board and other senior executive officers.

Part-time Officers: The base salary of our part-time officers is paid by Majestic and its affiliates. Since the annual fee paid to Majestic is approved by the audit and compensation committees and the board of directors, the compensation committee is not involved in determining the base salaries of these officers.

Full-time Officers: We provide the opportunity for our full-time officers to earn an annual cash bonus. We provide this opportunity both to reward our personnel for past performance and to motivate and retain them. We recognize that annual bonuses are almost universally provided by other companies with which we might compete for talent. In view of the fact that only two of our named executive officers devote their full-time to our affairs, annual cash bonuses for such named executive officers are recommended on a case-by-case basis by the Chairman of the Board to compensation committee. During the process, we consider our overall performance for the immediately preceding year, including rental revenues, funds from operations, net income dividends paid to stockholders and the performance of our common stock. None of these measures of performance is given more weight than any other and they are used to provide an overall view of our performance for the preceding year. Once it has determined the annual bonus to be paid to each named executive officer, the compensation committee presents its recommendations to the board of directors for its approval.

Part-time Officers: The annual bonus, if any, to be paid to any part-time officer is the responsibility of Majestic pursuant to the compensation and services agreement. Since the annual fee paid to Majestic is approved by the audit and compensation committees and the board of directors, the compensation committee is not involved in determining the bonuses paid to part-time officers.

We provide the opportunity for our full-time and part-time officers to receive long-term equity and long-term equity incentive awards. These compensation programs are designed to recognize responsibilities, reward performance, motivate future performance, align the interests of our officers with those of our stockholders and retain our officers. The compensation committee makes recommendations to our board of directors for the grant of equity awards for all our employees, including part-time officers and employees. In determining the long-term equity and long-term equity incentive compensation components, the compensation committee considers all factors it deems to be relevant, including our performance and individual performance. Existing stock ownership levels are not a factor in award determinations. All outstanding equity awards were granted under either our stockholder approved 2003 Incentive Plan or 2009 Incentive Plan.

In 2010, we issued RSU's for the first time. Each RSU entitles the recipient to one share of common stock upon vesting. Assuming continued service, vesting occurs on June 30, 2017 if and to the extent pre-established market (i.e. total average annual stockholder return) or performance (i.e., average annual return on capital) conditions are met. See "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End." Further, at least 50% of the shares that are issued pursuant to vested RSU's must be retained until 2020 and the shares may be subject to a "clawback" in the event of a restatement of the financial statements. We initiated the use of RSU's as an element of our long-term equity compensation program with the expectation that in light of the long vesting period and the need to satisfy market and/or financial performance conditions, these awards would further align the interests of our executive officers with our stockholders and reward long-term market and financial performance.

We do not have a formal policy with respect to whether equity compensation should be paid in the form of stock options, restricted stock or RSU's. We generally grant restricted stock awards which vest after five years of service and in 2010, also granted RSU's that vest after seven years of service if , and to the extent, specified performance or market conditions are met. The compensation committee generally believes that restricted stock awards and RSU's are more effective than options in achieving our compensation objectives. Restricted stock has a greater retention value than options because of its five-year cliff vesting requirement and, because before vesting, cash dividends are paid on all outstanding restricted stock as an additional element of compensation. RSU's provide an additional incentive component to equity based awards in that the units only vest if, and to the extent,

performance or market conditions are satisfied. Restricted stock and RSU's align the interests of our officers with our stockholders and because fewer shares are normally awarded than in connection with the grant of options, they are potentially less dilutive.

Generally, our equity compensation grants are made in January or February of each year. We do not have a formal policy on timing these grants in connection with the release of material non-public information and in view of the five-year and seven-year "cliff" vesting requirements with respect to restricted stock awards and RSU's, respectively, we do not believe such a formal policy is necessary.

Our compensation committee has reviewed our compensation policies and practices to ascertain if the risks arising from such policies or practices are reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on us. The compensation committee concluded that while our compensation program takes into account our performance, the program does not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking and our policies and practices achieve a balance between annual performance and long-term growth.

Full-time Officers: We provide our full-time officers with a competitive benefits and perquisites program. We recognize that similar benefits and perquisites are commonly provided at other companies with which we might compete for talent. We review our benefits and perquisites program periodically to ensure it remains fair to our officers and employees. For 2011, the benefits and perquisites we provided to our officers were a small percentage of the compensation provided by us to them.

Part-time Officers: Our chairman of the board, in consultation with certain part-time senior officers, determines the perquisites of our part-time officers. Since the annual fee we pay to Majestic is approved by our audit and compensation committees and our board of directors, the compensation committee does not approve the perquisites of our part-time officers.

None of our named executive officers have employment or severance agreements with us. They are "at will" employees who serve at the pleasure of our board of directors.

We do not provide for any post-employment benefits to our named executive officers other than (i) their right to the vested portion of the pension or other similar plan in which they participate and (ii) the accelerated vesting of our restricted stock awards and RSU's.

Generally, in the event of death, disability (i.e., the inability to engage in gainful activity due to a life threatening or long lasting mental or physical impairment) or retirement (with respect to restricted stock awarded pursuant to our 2009 Incentive Plan, having reached the age of 65 and worked for us for at least ten consecutive years), such person's shares of restricted stock vest fully and a pro-rata portion (giving effect to, among other things, the amount of time between the grant and the triggering event) of their RSU's will vest if and to the extent the applicable performance or market conditions are met as of June 30, 2017. In addition, upon a change of control, the (i) shares of restricted stock vest fully and (ii) the RSU's vest fully if such change occurs after June 30, 2015 and, if on or prior to June 30, 2015, a pro-rata portion (giving effect to, among other things, the amount of time between the grant and such event) vests, in each case, without regard to satisfaction of market or performance conditions. Subject to the specific terms and conditions of the applicable plan and award agreement, a change of control is generally deemed to occur if, (i) any person becomes the "beneficial owner" of securities representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of our then outstanding securities, (ii) the completion of a business combination or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or (iii) there is a change in the composition of a majority of our board of directors, other than changes approved by incumbent directors.

We provide for the partial vesting of RSU's (subject to the satisfaction of performance or market conditions at June 30, 2017) and full vesting of restricted stock awards upon death and disability, because these events are completely outside of the control of our executives and in such circumstance, we believe that it would be unfair for our executives to forfeit the compensation and benefits that to which they otherwise would have been entitled. We provide for the partial vesting of RSU's (subject to the satisfaction of performance or market conditions at June 30, 2017) and full vesting of restricted stock awards upon retirement as we believe it runs contrary to the retention and reward of long-term equity and long term equity incentive awards to compel an executive to choose between retirement and the loss of all unvested awards. We differentiate between RSU's (i.e., partial vesting) and restricted stock awards (i.e. full vesting) because of the additional incentive component of the RSU's.

We provide for accelerated vesting upon a change in control (on a single trigger basis) because, depending on the structure of the transaction, continuing such awards may unnecessarily complicate a potentially beneficial transaction. Among other things, it may not be possible to replace these awards with comparable awards of the acquiring company's stock and it would not be fair to our executives to lose the benefit of these awards. In addition, the acceleration of vesting aligns the interests of executives in a potential change in control transaction with those of our stockholders, by motivating them to work towards the completion of the transaction. Because in a change of control it may be impossible to determine whether the market or performance vesting conditions applicable to RSU's are met as of June 30, 2017, we have instead applied a service based measure allowing for partial vesting if the change of control occurs before July 1, 2015 and for full vesting if it occurs after such date.

In 2011 we paid and in 2012 we intend to pay our chairman $250,000 for serving in such capacity. Our chairman does not receive any additional direct compensation from us, other than any long-term equity and long-term equity incentive awards granted to him by our board of directors based upon our compensation committee's recommendation. Our chairman may also receive compensation from Majestic and its affiliates. Effective April 1, 2012, the compensation and services agreement was amended to eliminate any obligation to compensate our chairman pursuant to such agreement. For additional information regarding compensation of our chairman, see "Summary Compensation Table".

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes a limitation on the deductibility of certain compensation in excess of $1 million earned by each of the chief executive officer and the four other most highly compensated officers of publicly held companies. In 2011, all compensation paid to our full-time officers was deductible by us. The compensation committee intends to preserve the deductibility of compensation payments and benefits to the extent reasonably practicable. The compensation committee has not adopted a formal policy that requires all compensation paid to the officers to be fully deductible.

In accordance with the compensation setting process described above, the following base salaries and bonuses were approved as follows for our full-time named executive officers in 2011 and 2010:

(1): The compensation committee and board of directors determined 2011 base salary in December 2010 and 2010 base salary in December 2009. Messrs. Callan's and Ricketts' base salary for 2012, which was determined in December 2011, is $660,000 and $320,000, respectively.
(2): Reflects the bonuses paid in 2012 for services rendered in 2011. These bonuses were recommended by the compensation committee and approved by the board of directors in December 2011.
(3): Reflects the bonuses paid in 2011 for services rendered in 2010. These bonuses were recommended by the compensation committee and approved by the board of directors in December 2010.
(4): The salary and bonus paid to Mr. Callan in 2010 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for 2011.

Based on the individual performance of Messrs. Callan and Ricketts in 2010 and in light of, among other things, our acquisition of 14 properties for $72.3 million and the increase of more than 75% in our stock price during 2010, the compensation committee concluded that an increase in base salary for 2011 was appropriate. In recommending bonuses for 2011 (which were paid in 2012 for services rendered during 2011), the compensation committee viewed as positives the estimated increases from the prior year of approximately $0.13 in net income per share, $0.03 per share in each of funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations, the six properties acquired in 2011 for an aggregate of approximately $28 million and the follow on public offering from which we received net proceeds of approximately $40.7 million.

In 2011, the total compensation of Patrick J. Callan, Jr., our president and chief executive officer, was 80.8% greater than the total compensation of Lawrence G. Ricketts, Jr., our executive vice president and chief operating officer. We have not adopted a policy with regard to the relationship of compensation among our executive officers or other employees. Based upon their respective responsibilities and experience, it was concluded that the differential was appropriate.

We believe that our long-term equity and equity incentive compensation programs, using restricted stock awards with five-year cliff vesting and RSU's with seven-year cliff vesting, is an appropriate incentive for our officers and is a beneficial retention tool. We are mindful of the potential dilution and compensation cost associated with awarding shares of restricted stock and RSU's and, therefore our policy is to minimize dilution. In 2011, we awarded 74,040 shares of restricted stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of $1,198,708—such shares represented 0.51% of our issued and outstanding shares at December 31, 2011. In the five years ended December 31, 2011, we awarded an aggregate of 551,715 shares of common stock (including 200,000 RSU's), representing an average of 0.82% per annum of our outstanding shares of common stock as of the respective year ends. We believe the cumulative effect of the awards is not overly dilutive and has created significant incentives for our officers and employees.

After reviewing the aggregate compensation received by our full-time named executive officers, our performance in 2011, and the performance and responsibilities of each named executive officer, and taking into account our policy of minimizing stockholder dilution, in 2012 we awarded 12,500 shares to Patrick J. Callan, Jr., 10,000 shares of restricted stock to Lawrence G. Ricketts, Jr., and 7,400 shares of restricted stock to each of David W. Kalish, Fredric H. Gould and Mark H. Lundy. Generally, all of such shares vest in full, assuming continued employment, in 2017.

We intend to continue to award restricted stock as we believe (i) restricted stock awards align management's interests and goals with stockholders' interests and goals and (ii) officers and employees are more desirous of participating in a restricted stock award program and, therefore, it is an excellent motivator and employee retention tool. We have not made any determination as to whether we will award any RSU's or stock options in the future.

The perquisites we provide to our full-time officers represent a small percentage of the compensation paid by us to these officers. We believe that such perquisites are competitive and appropriate.

We do not enter into employment agreements or severance agreements with any of our officers or employees as we believe such agreements are not beneficial to us, and that we can provide sufficient motivation to officers by using other types of compensation.

The following table sets forth the value (based on our stock price of $16.50 per share as of December 30, 2011) of equity awards that would vest upon the occurrence of the specified events as of December 31, 2011:

	Upon Death or Disability(1)				Upon a Change of Control

Name	Restricted Stock ($)		RSU's ($)(2)		Restricted Stock ($)		RSU's ($)
Patrick J. Callan, Jr.(3)		656,700		177,131		656,700		248,042
David W. Kalish		372,900		50,606		372,900		70,866
Fredric H. Gould		372,900		50,610		372,900		70,871
Lawrence G. Ricketts, Jr.(3)		544,500		141,705		544,500		198,434
Mark H. Lundy		372,900		50,610		372,900		70,871

We do not have any policy regarding ownership requirements for officers or directors. In view of the fact that our executive officers and directors as a group own approximately 3.25 million shares of

common stock representing 22% of our outstanding shares, we do not believe there is a need to adopt a policy regarding ownership of shares of our common stock by our officers and directors.

The compensation committee of the board of directors has reviewed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth herein, and discussed it with management, and based on such review and discussions, recommends to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

The following table lists the annual compensation for the periods indicated of our CEO, CFO, and our three other named executive officers in 2011:

(1): Reflects, for 2010, the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSU's, and for 2011 and 2009, the grant date fair value of restricted stock awards, in each case calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718—Stock Compensation, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. These amounts reflect our accounting expense and do not correspond to the actual value that will be realized by the named executives. Grant date fair value assumptions are consistent with those disclosed in Note 10—Stock Based Compensation, in the consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For 2010, the maximum values of the portion of the RSU's subject to issuance upon satisfaction of our average annual return on capital criteria were $389,000 $111,137, $111,145, $311,120 and $111,145, for Messrs. Callan, Kalish, F. Gould, Ricketts and Lundy, respectively. See "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End."
(2): Majestic Property Management Corp., an affiliate, provided services to us and to other affiliated and non-affiliated entities. We accounted for approximately 55% of Majestic's revenues in 2011. We have included in the "All Other Compensation" column for Messrs. Kalish and Lundy, 55% of the compensation each received from Majestic in 2011. See "Certain Relationship and Related Transactions" for additional information.
(3): All compensation received by Patrick J. Callan, Jr. and Lawrence J. Ricketts, Jr. is paid solely and directly by us. The salary and bonus amounts paid to Mr. Callan in 2010 and 2009 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for 2011.
(4): Reflects bonuses paid in 2012, 2011 and 2010 for services rendered in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
(5): Includes $36,750 of contributions to our defined contribution plan, dividends of $52,536 on unvested restricted stock and perquisites aggregating $28,249, of which $22,324 represents an automobile allowance and related insurance, maintenance and repairs and $5,925 represents the

annual premium for additional disability insurance. Approximately $213,000 has been accumulated for this individual pursuant to our defined contribution plan.

(6): We did not pay, nor were we allocated, any portion of such person's base salary, bonus, defined contribution plan payments or perquisites in 2011, 2010 or 2009. The services of these individuals is provided to us pursuant to the compensation and services agreement with Majestic.
(7): Includes dividends of $29,832 on unvested restricted stock and compensation of $48,758 paid to him by Majestic, which represents 55% of the total amount of $88,650 paid him by Majestic. See footnote 2 above and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
(8): Represents dividends of $29,832 on unvested restricted stock. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
(9): Includes dividends of $43,560 on unvested restricted stock, our contribution of $36,750 to our defined contribution plan, and perquisites of $8,761, representing an automobile allowance and related expenses. Approximately $327,000 has been accumulated for this individual pursuant to our defined contribution plan.
(10): Includes dividends of $29,832 on unvested restricted stock and compensation of $58,713 paid to him by Majestic, which represents 55% of the total amount $106,750 paid him by Majestic. See footnote 2 above and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

(1): Reflects the number of shares of restricted stock that have not vested.
(2): The market value represents the product of the closing price of our common stock as of December 30, 2011, which was $16.50, multiplied by the number of shares subject to or underlying such award.
(3): Reflects the number of RSU's that have not vested.
(4): With respect to this individual, 5,000 shares of restricted stock vest in February 2012, 6,000 shares vest in February 2013, 12,000 shares vest in January 2014 and 8,400 shares vest in each of February 2015 and January 2016.
(5): With respect to this individual, 3,000 shares of restricted stock vest in each of February 2012 and 2013, 6,700 shares vest in January 2014, 4,700 shares vest in February 2015 and 5,200 shares vest in January 2016.
(6): With respect to this individual, 4,000 shares of restricted stock vest in February 2012, 5,000 shares vest in February 2013, 10,000 shares vest in January 2014, 7,000 shares vest in February 2015 and 7,000 shares vest in January 2016.
(7): Assumes that all of the RSU's vest. The underlying shares vest on June 30, 2017 if, and to the extent, the applicable market (i.e., average annual total stockholder return) or performance (i.e., average annual return on capital) conditions are satisfied. If the average annual total stockholder return (including dividends) on our common stock from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2017 equals or exceeds 13%, 50% of such award and the underlying shares subject to such award vest and if it equals or is less than 10.25%, no shares vest. If the average annual stockholder return is more than 10.25% and less than 13%, a pro rata portion of 50% of the underlying shares subject to such award vest. If our average annual return on capital (as explained below) from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2017 exceeds 10%, 50% of the shares subject to such award vests and if it is equal to or less than 8%, no shares vest.

Fredric H. Gould, chairman of our board of directors, is chairman of the board of trustees of BRT Realty Trust, a real estate investment trust listed on the New York Stock Exchange. He is also the chairman of the board of directors and sole stockholder of the managing general partner of Gould Investors L.P. and sole member of a limited liability company which is also a general partner of Gould Investors. Gould Investors owns approximately 10.1% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Matthew J. Gould, vice chairman of our board of directors, is a senior vice president of BRT Realty Trust and president of the managing general partner of Gould Investors. Jeffrey A. Gould, a director and officer of our company, is president and chief executive officer of BRT Realty Trust and a senior vice president of the managing general partner of Gould Investors. Matthew J. Gould and Jeffrey A. Gould are brothers and the sons of Fredric H. Gould. In addition, David W. Kalish, Mark H. Lundy, Simeon Brinberg and Israel Rosenzweig, each of whom is an executive officer of our company, are officers of BRT Realty Trust and of the managing general partner of Gould Investors. Mark H. Lundy is Simeon Brinberg's son-in-law.

Pursuant to the compensation and services agreement, we pay an annual fee to Majestic and Majestic provides to us the services of all affiliated executive, administrative, legal, accounting and clerical personnel, as well as property management services, property acquisition, sales and lease consulting and brokerage services, consulting services in respect to mortgage financings and construction supervisory services. In accordance with the compensation and services agreement, we paid a fee of $2,725,000 to Majestic in 2011 for the provision of the referenced services. (This fee was increased by $500,000 to $2,725,000 in 2011. In approving such increases, a "Compensation and Total Cost Analysis" report prepared by an independent compensation consultant was used by our audit and compensation committees). Majestic is wholly owned by the chairman of our board, and certain of our part-time officers, including our part-time named executive officers, are officers of, and receive compensation from, Majestic.

In 2011 we also paid, under the compensation and services agreement, compensation of $250,000 to our chairman and $175,000 to Majestic as reimbursement for our share of direct office expenses, including rent, telephone, postage, computer services, internet usage and supplies. Our part-time officers and employees occupy space in an office building owned by a subsidiary of Gould Investors. The rent expense for this space is included in the $175,000 expenditure.

We also leased under a direct lease with the subsidiary of Gould Investors approximately 1,200 square feet of additional space in the same office building at an annual rent of $45,000. Effective January 1, 2012, we entered into an amendment to such lease, effective through December 31, 2016, pursuant to which we lease 3,132 square feet for an annual rent of $104,139 of which it is anticipated that we will pay $40,000 and Majestic will pay the balance. We believe that this is a competitive rent for comparable office space in the area in which the building is located..

The amount paid by us and our joint venture to Majestic in 2011 pursuant to the compensation and services agreement represented approximately 55% of the revenues of Majestic in 2011. In 2011, the following officers of ours (some of whom are also officers of Majestic and other affiliated companies, which account for a portion of Majestic's revenue) received the following compensation from Majestic: Fredric H. Gould, $0; Matthew J. Gould, $169,275; David W. Kalish, $88,650; Jeffrey A. Gould, $169,275; Simeon Brinberg, $12,000; Mark H. Lundy, $106,750; and Israel Rosenzweig, $51,850. A portion of the compensation received by these individuals from Majestic results from services performed and fees earned by Majestic from entities (both affiliated and non-affiliated) other than us. These individuals also received compensation in 2011 from our affiliates, including BRT Realty Trust, and Gould Investors L.P., as well as other entities wholly owned by Fredric H. Gould, none of which provided services to us in 2011.

During 2011, $603,000 of non-cash compensation expense (relating to the restricted stock and RSU's held by our part-time executive officers and employees who are also compensated by Majestic or its affiliates), was charged to operations.

Any transaction with affiliated entities raises the potential that we may not receive terms as favorable as those that we would receive if the transactions were entered into with unaffiliated entities or that our officers might otherwise seek benefits for affiliated entities at our expense. Our amended and restated code of business conduct and ethics, in the "Conflicts of Interest" section, provides that we may enter into a contract or transaction with an affiliated entity provided that any such transaction is approved by our audit committee which is satisfied that the fees, charges and other payments made to the affiliated entities are reasonable considering all circumstances.

If a related party transaction is entered into, our audit committee is advised of such transaction and reviews the facts of the transaction and either approves or disapproves the transaction. If a transaction relates to a member of our audit committee, such member will not participate in the audit committee's deliberations. If our audit committee approves or ratifies a related party transaction, it will present the facts of the transaction to our board of directors and recommend that our board of directors approve or ratify such related party transaction. The effect of any such transaction on the independence of any independent director must also be reviewed. Our board of directors then reviews the transaction and a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, must approve/ratify or disapprove such related party transaction. If a transaction relates to a member of our board of directors, such member will not participate in the board's deliberations.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our issued and outstanding capital stock, file certain reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based on a review of information supplied to us by our executive officers and directors, and public filings made by any 10% beneficial owners, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners with respect to 2011 were met other than with respect to Eugene I. Zuriff, who filed one report with respect to one transaction one day late.

As of the date of this proxy statement, we do not know of any business that will be presented for consideration at the meeting other than the items referred to in the Notice of the Meeting. If any other matter is properly brought before the meeting for action by stockholders, the holders of the proxies will vote and act with respect to the business in accordance with their best judgment. Discretionary authority to do so is conferred by the enclosed proxy.

5.4 Restrictions on Transferability. The Committee may impose such restrictions on any Award, Award of Shares or Shares acquired pursuant to an Award as it deems advisable or appropriate, including, but not limited to, restrictions related to applicable Federal securities laws, the requirements of any national securities exchange or system upon which Shares are then listed or traded, and any blue sky or state securities laws.

6.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as determined by the Committee. The Committee shall determine the number of Shares subject to each Option. The Committee may grant Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, or any combination thereof. The maximum aggregate number of Shares underlying Options granted in any one calendar year to an individual Participant shall be 60,000.

6.2 Award Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Exercise Price, the expiration date of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option, any conditions on exercise of the Option and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, including terms regarding forfeiture of Awards or continued exercisability of Awards in the event of termination of employment by the Participant.

6.3 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price for each Option shall be determined by the Committee and shall be provided in each Award Agreement; provided, however, the Exercise Price for each Option may not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Exercise Price shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share if the Participant (together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Participant pursuant to section 424(d) of the Code) owns on the Grant Date stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

6.4 Expiration of Options. Except as provided in Section 6.7(c) regarding Incentive Stock Options, each Option shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date(s) for termination of the Option set forth in the Award Agreement or (ii) the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date. Subject to such limits, the Committee shall provide in each Award Agreement when each Option expires and becomes unexercisable. The Committee may not, after an Option is granted, extend the maximum term of the Option.

6.5 Exercisability of Options. Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall determine. After an Option is granted, the Committee may accelerate or waive any condition constituting a substantial risk of forfeiture applicable to the Option.

6.6 Payment. Options shall be exercised by a Participant's delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company (or its designee), setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the Shares. Upon the exercise of an Option, the Exercise Price shall be payable to the Company in full in cash or its equivalent. The Committee may permit exercise (a) by the Participant tendering previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Exercise Price, (b) the Participant tendering a combination of cash and Shares equal to total Exercise Price (the Shares tendered being valued at Fair Market Value at the time of exercise), or (c) by any other means which the Committee determines to provide legal consideration for the Shares, and to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment for the Shares purchased, the Company shall deliver to the Participant Share certificates (which may be in book entry form) representing such Shares. Until the issuance of the stock certificates, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Shares as to which the Option has been exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other rights for which a record date is established prior to the date the certificates are issued.

6.8 Restriction on Transfer. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, no Option may be transferred, gifted, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, voluntarily or involuntarily. Upon the death or Disability of a Participant, an Option may be exercised by the duly appointed personal representative of the deceased Participant or in the event of a Disability by the Participant or the duly appointed committee of the Disabled Participant to the extent the Option was exercisable on the date of death or the date of Disability and shall be exercisable for a period of six months from the date of death or the date of Disability. Upon Retirement of a Participant an Option may be exercised to the extent it was exercisable on the effective date of the Retirement and shall be exercisable for a period of six months from the effective date of such Retirement.

6.9 Repricing of Options. Without shareholder approval, (i) the Company will not reprice, replace or regrant an outstanding Option either in connection with the cancellation of such Option or by amending an Award Agreement to lower the exercise price of such Option, and (ii) the Company will not cancel outstanding Options in exchange for cash or other Awards.

6.10 Voting Rights. A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Options granted hereunder.

7.1 Grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units to Participants in such amounts as the Committee shall determine. The Committee shall determine the number of Shares and/or RSU's to be granted to each Participant and the time when each Award shall be granted. No more than 60,000 Shares of each of Restricted Stock and Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units may be granted to any individual Participant in any one calendar year.

7.2 Restricted Stock and RSU Agreements. Each Award of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock granted, the number of Shares subject to a Restricted Stock Unit, any applicable Performance Criteria, Performance Goal and Performance Cycle, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, including terms regarding forfeiture of Awards in the event of termination of employment by the Participant or termination of the Participant's relationship with the Company as a director or consultant.

7.3 Transferability. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units including Shares underlying RSU's may not be sold, transferred, gifted, bequeathed, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, voluntarily or involuntarily, until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction and the satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any applicable Performance Goals within the applicable Performance Cycle. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, in the event of the death, Disability or Retirement of a Participant, all unvested Restricted Stock and unvested RSU's shall not vest on the date of death or Disability or the effective date of Retirement. Without shareholder approval, the Company will not, except as otherwise provided for in the Plan, repurchase outstanding unvested Restricted Stock or unvested RSU's in exchange for cash or accelerate the vesting of outstanding unvested Shares of Restricted Stock or RSU's. The Committee

may include a legend on the certificates representing Restricted Stock or RSU's to give appropriate notice of such restrictions.

7.4 Other Restrictions. The Committee may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units (including Shares underlying RSU's) as it may deem advisable or appropriate in accordance with this Section 7.4.

7.5 Removal of Restrictions. After the end of the Period of Restriction, the Shares shall be freely transferable by the Participant, subject to any other restrictions on transfer which may apply to such Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not act in a manner that would cause a grant that is intended to be "performance-based compensation" under Code Section 162(m) to fail to be performance-based.

7.6 Voting Rights. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, Participants holding (a) Shares of Restricted Stock shall have voting rights during the Period of Restriction and (b) Restricted Stock Units shall not have voting rights during the Period of Restriction.

7.7 Dividends and Other Distributions. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, Participants holding (a) Shares of Restricted Stock shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the Shares during the Period of Restriction and (b) RSU's shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions paid with respect to the underlying Shares during the Period of Restriction.

8.1 Performance-Based Awards. Participants selected by the Committee may be granted one or more Performance Awards in the form of Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Performance Share Awards payable upon the attainment of Performance Goals that are established by the Committee and related to one or more of the Performance Criteria, in each case on a specified date or dates or over a Performance Cycle determined by the Committee. A Performance Cycle shall be at least one year. The Committee in its sole discretion shall determine whether an Award is to qualify as "performance based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee in its sole discretion shall determine Awards that are based on Performance Goals but are not intended to

quality as "performance based compensation" under Section 162(m). The Committee shall define the manner of calculating the Performance Criteria it selects to use for any Performance Cycle. Depending on the Performance Criteria used to establish such Performance Goals, the Performance Goals may be expressed in terms of overall Company performance or the performance of an individual. The Committee, in its discretion, may adjust or modify the calculation of Performance Goals for such Performance Cycle in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights of an individual (i) in the event of, or in anticipation of, any unusual or extraordinary corporate item, transaction, event or development, (ii) in recognition of, or in anticipation of, any other unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or (iii) in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting principles, or business conditions; provided however, that the Committee may not exercise such discretion in a manner that would increase the Performance-Based Award granted to a Participant. Each Performance-Based Award shall comply with the provisions set forth below. Performance Awards shall be paid in Shares.

9.1 Amendment, Suspension, or Termination. The Board, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason; provided, however, that if and to the extent required by law or to maintain the Plan's compliance with the Code, the rules of any national securities exchange (if applicable), or any other applicable law, any such amendment shall be subject to shareholder approval; and further provided, that without shareholder approval, no amendment shall permit the repricing, replacing or regranting of an Option in connection with the cancellation of such Option or by amending an Award Agreement to lower the exercise price of such Option or the cancellation of any Award in exchange for cash. The amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted to such Participant. No Award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan.

9.2 Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall become effective in accordance with Section 1.1, and subject to Section 9.1 shall remain in effect until the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan.

10.1 Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares pursuant to an Award (or the exercise thereof), the Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold from any amounts due to the Participant from the Company, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state and local taxes (including the Participant's FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or the exercise or vesting thereof).

10.2 Withholding Arrangements. The Committee, pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part, by (a) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares, or (b) delivering to the Company Shares then owned by the Participant. The amount of the withholding requirement shall be deemed to include any amount that the Committee agrees may be withheld at the time any such election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered shall be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.

11.1 Change in Control. For purposes of the Plan, a Change in Control means any of the following:

11.2 Effect of Change of Control. On the effective date of any Change in Control, unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise: (i) in the case of an Option, each such outstanding Option shall become exercisable in full in respect of the aggregate number of Shares covered thereby; and (ii) in the case of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Awards, the Restriction Period applicable to each such Award shall be deemed to have expired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that any or all outstanding Awards of any or all types granted pursuant to the Plan will not become exercisable on an accelerated basis nor will the Restriction Period expire in connection with a Change of Control if effective provision has been made for the taking of such action which, in the opinion of the Committee, is equitable and appropriate to substitute a new Award for such Award or for the assumption of such Award and to make such new or assumed Award, as nearly as may be practicable, equivalent to the old Award (before giving effect to any acceleration of the exercisability or the expiration of the Restriction Period), taking into account, to the extent applicable, the kind and amount of securities, cash, or other assets into or for which the Shares may be changed, converted, or exchanged in connection with such Change of Control.

12.1 Deferrals. To the extent consistent with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, the Committee may provide in an Award Agreement or another document that a Participant is permitted to defer receipt of the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant under an Award. Any such deferral shall be subject to such rules and procedures as shall be determined by the Committee.

12.2 Termination for Cause. If a Participant's employment or relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary (as a director or consultant) shall be terminated for cause by the Company or such Subsidiary during the Restriction Period or prior to the exercise of any Option (for these purposes, cause shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in any employment agreement to which such Participant is a party or, in the absence thereof, shall include, but not be limited to, insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, the refusal to perform his duties and responsibilities for any reason (other than illness or incapacity) and other misconduct of any kind), then, (i) all Options shall immediately terminate and (ii) such Participant's rights to all Restricted Stock, RSU's and Performance Share Awards shall be forfeited immediately.
