                                     PART I
ITEM I.  BUSINESS

         GENERAL

         The Macerich Company (the "Company") is involved in the acquisition,
ownership, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional and community
shopping centers located throughout the United States. The Company is the sole
general partner of, and owns a majority of the ownership interests in, The
Macerich Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating
Partnership"). The Operating Partnership owns or has an ownership interest in 46
regional shopping centers and seven community shopping centers aggregating
approximately 40 million square feet of gross leasable area. These 53 regional
and community shopping centers are referred to hereinafter as the "Centers",
unless the context otherwise requires. The Company is a self-administered and
self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") and conducts all of its
operations through the Operating Partnership and the Company's three management
companies, Macerich Property Management Company, a California corporation,
Macerich Manhattan Management Company, a California corporation, and Macerich
Management Company, a California corporation (collectively, the "Management
Companies").

         The Company was organized as a Maryland corporation in September 1993
to continue and expand the shopping center operations of Mace Siegel, Arthur M.
Coppola, Dana K. Anderson and Edward C. Coppola and certain of their business
associates.

         All references to the Company in this Form 10-K include the Company,
those entities owned or controlled by the Company and predecessors of the
Company, unless the context indicates otherwise.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         A. EQUITY OFFERINGS

         The Company sold 7,920,181 shares of its common stock in six offerings
during 1998, raising $203.8 million of net proceeds.

         On February 25, 1998, the Company issued 3,627,131 shares of its Series
A cumulative convertible redeemable preferred stock ("Series A Preferred Stock")
for net proceeds totaling $99.0 million.

         On June 17, 1998, the Company issued 5,487,471 shares of its Series B
cumulative convertible redeemable preferred stock ("Series B Preferred Stock")
for net proceeds totaling $148.5 million.

         The total net proceeds from the 1998 common and preferred stock
offerings totaled $451.3 million. These proceeds were used for the 1998
acquisitions, reducing borrowings under the Company's line of credit and general
corporate purposes.

B.       ACQUISITIONS

         On February 27, 1998, the Company, through a 50/50 joint venture with
an affiliate of Simon Property Group, Inc., acquired the ERE Yarmouth portfolio
of twelve regional malls. The properties in the portfolio comprise 10.7 million
square feet and are located in eight states. The total purchase price was $974.5
million, which included $485.0 million of assumed debt, at market value. The
Company's share of the cash component of the purchase price was funded by
issuing $100.0 million of Series A Preferred Stock, $80.0 million of common
stock and borrowing the balance from the Company's line of credit.

         South Plains Mall was acquired on June 19, 1998. South Plains Mall is a
1,140,574 square foot super regional mall located in Lubbock, Texas. The
purchase price was $115.5 million, consisting of $29.3 million of assumed debt,
at fair market value, and $86.2 million of cash. The cash portion was funded
with a portion of the proceeds from the Company's Series B Preferred Stock
offering.

         Westside Pavilion was acquired on July 1, 1998 for $170.5 million.
Westside Pavilion is a 755,759 square foot regional mall located in Los Angeles,
California. The purchase price was funded with a portion of the proceeds from
the Company's Series B Preferred Stock offering, borrowings under the Company's
line of credit and the placement of a ten year $100.0 million mortgage secured
by the property.

         B.  ACQUISITIONS, CONTINUED:

         The Village at Corte Madera is a 428,398 square foot regional mall in
Corte Madera, California, which the Company acquired in two phases: (i) 40% on
June 16, 1998 and (ii) the remaining 60% on July 24, 1998. In addition, Carmel
Plaza, a 115,215 square foot community shopping center in Carmel, California was
acquired on August 10, 1998. The combined purchase price was $165.5 million,
consisting of $40.0 million of assumed debt, the issuance of $7.9 million of
limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units") and
$117.6 million in cash. The cash component was funded by borrowings under the
Company's line of credit.

         Northwest Arkansas Mall was acquired on December 15, 1998. Northwest
Arkansas Mall is a 780,237 square foot regional mall located in Fayetteville,
Arkansas. The purchase price of $94.0 million was funded by a concurrently
placed loan of $63.0 million and borrowings of $31.0 million under the Company's
line of credit.

         On February 18, 1999, through a 51/49 joint venture with Ontario
Teachers' Pension Plan Board, the Company closed on the first phase of a two
phase acquisition of a portfolio of properties. The phase one closing included
the acquisition of three regional malls, the retail component of a mixed-use
development, five contiguous properties and two non-contiguous community
shopping centers comprising approximately 3.6 million square feet for a total
purchase price of approximately $427.0 million. The purchase price was funded
with a $120.0 million loan placed concurrently with the closing, $140.4 million
of debt from an affiliate of the seller, and $39.4 million of assumed debt. The
balance of the purchase price was paid in cash. The Company's share of the cash
component was funded with the proceeds from two refinancings of centers and
borrowings under the Company's line of credit. The second phase consists of the
acquisition of the office component of the mixed-use development for a purchase
price of approximately $115 million. The closing of the second phase is expected
to occur in May 1999.

         C. REFINANCINGS

         On August 3, 1998, the Company, along with the joint venture partner,
refinanced the debt secured by Broadway Plaza. The loan of $43.5 million was
paid in full and a new note was issued for $75.0 million bearing interest at a
fixed rate of 6.68% and maturing August 1, 2008.

         On August 7, 1998, the Company refinanced the debt on Fresno Fashion
Fair. A $38.0 million loan was paid in full and a new secured note was issued
for $69.0 million bearing interest at fixed rate of 6.52% and maturing August
10, 2008.

THE SHOPPING CENTER INDUSTRY

         GENERAL
         There are several types of retail shopping centers, which are
differentiated primarily based on size and marketing strategy. Retail shopping
centers generally contain in excess of 400,000 square feet of gross leasable
area ("GLA"), are typically anchored by two or more department or large retail
stores ("Anchors") and are referred to as "Regional Shopping Centers" or
"Malls". Regional Shopping Centers also typically contain numerous diversified
retail stores ("Mall Stores"), most of which are national or regional retailers
typically located along corridors connecting the Anchors. Community Shopping
Centers, also referred to as "strip centers," are retail shopping centers that
are designed to attract local or neighborhood customers and are typically
anchored by one or more supermarkets, discount department stores and/or drug
stores. Community Shopping Centers typically contain 100,000 square feet to
400,000 square feet of GLA. In addition, freestanding retail stores are located
along the perimeter of the shopping centers ("Freestanding Stores"). Anchors,
Mall and Freestanding Stores and other tenants typically contribute funds for
the maintenance of the common areas, property taxes, insurance, advertising and
other expenditures related to the operation of the shopping center.


                                  2

<PAGE>

         REGIONAL SHOPPING CENTERS

         A Regional Shopping Center draws from its trade area by offering a
variety of fashion merchandise, hard goods and services and entertainment,
generally in an enclosed, climate controlled environment with convenient
parking. Regional Shopping Centers provide an array of retail shops and
entertainment facilities and often serve as the town center and the preferred
gathering place for community, charity, and promotional events.

         The Company focuses on the acquisition and redevelopment of Regional
Shopping Centers. Regional Shopping Centers have generally provided owners with
relatively stable growth in income despite the cyclical nature of the retail
business. This stability is due both to the diversity of tenants and to the
typical dominance of Regional Shopping Centers in their trade areas. Regional
Shopping Centers are difficult to develop because of the significant barriers to
entry, including the limited availability of capital and suitable development
sites, the presence of existing Regional Shopping Centers in most markets, a
limited number of Anchors, and the associated development costs and risks.
Consequently, the Company believes that few new Regional Shopping Centers will
be built in the next five years. However, many of the market, financing and
economic risks typically associated with the development of new Regional
Shopping Centers can be mitigated by acquiring and redeveloping an existing
Regional Shopping Center. Furthermore, the value of Regional Shopping Centers
can be significantly enhanced through redevelopment, renovation and expansion.

         Regional Shopping Centers have different strategies with regard to
price, merchandise offered and tenant mix, and are generally tailored to meet
the needs of their trade areas. Anchor tenants are located along common areas in
a configuration designed to maximize consumer traffic for the benefit of the
Mall Stores. Mall GLA, which generally refers to gross leasable area contiguous
to the Anchors for tenants other than Anchors, is leased to a wide variety of
smaller retailers. Mall Stores typically account for the bulk of the revenues of
a Regional Shopping Center.

         Although a variety of retail formats compete for consumer purchases,
the Company believes that Regional Shopping Centers will continue to be a
preferred shopping destination. The combination of a climate controlled shopping
environment, a dominant location, and a diverse tenant mix has resulted in
Regional Shopping Centers generating higher tenant sales than are generally
achieved at smaller retail formats. Further, the Company believes that
department stores located in Regional Shopping Centers will continue to provide
a full range of current fashion merchandise at a limited number of locations in
any one market, allowing them to command the largest geographical trade area of
any retail format.

         COMMUNITY SHOPPING CENTERS

         Community Shopping Centers are designed to attract local and
neighborhood customers and are typically open air shopping centers, with one or
more supermarkets, drugstores or discount department stores. National retailers
such as Kids-R-Us at Bristol Shopping Center, Toys-R-Us at Boulder Plaza, and
The Gap, Victoria's Secret and Express/Bath and Body at Villa Marina, provide
the Company's Community Shopping Centers with the opportunity to draw from a
much larger trade area than a typical supermarket or drugstore anchored
Community Shopping Center.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

         MANAGEMENT AND OPERATING PHILOSOPHY

         The Company believes that the shopping center business requires
specialized skills across a broad array of disciplines for effective and
profitable operations. For this reason, the Company has developed a fully
integrated real estate organization with in-house acquisition, redevelopment,
property management, leasing, finance, construction, marketing, legal and
accounting expertise. In addition, the Company emphasizes a philosophy of
decentralized property management, leasing and marketing performed by on-site
professionals. The Company believes that this strategy results in the optimal
operation, tenant mix and drawing power of each Center as well as the ability to
quickly respond to changing competitive conditions of the Center's trade area.


                                  3

<PAGE>

MANAGEMENT AND OPERATING PHILOSOPHY, CONTINUED:

         PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND LEASING. The Company believes that on-site
property managers can most effectively operate the Centers. Each Center's
property manager is responsible for overseeing the operations, marketing,
maintenance and security functions at the Center. Property managers focus
special attention on controlling operating costs, a key element in the
profitability of the Centers, and seek to develop strong relationships with and
to be responsive to the needs of retailers.

         The Company believes strongly in decentralized leasing and accordingly,
most of its leasing managers are located on-site to better understand the market
and the community in which a Center is located. Leasing managers are charged
with more than the responsibility of leasing space; they continually assess and
fine tune each Center's tenant mix, identify and replace underperforming tenants
and seek to optimize existing tenant sizes and configurations.

         ACQUISITIONS. Since its initial public offering ("IPO"), the Company
has acquired interests in shopping centers nationwide. These acquisitions were
identified and consummated by the Company's staff of acquisition professionals
who are strategically located in Santa Monica, Dallas, Denver, and Atlanta. The
Company believes that it is geographically well positioned to cultivate and
maintain ongoing relationships with potential sellers and financial institutions
and to act quickly when acquisition opportunities arise. The Company focuses on
assets that are or can be dominant in their trade area, have a franchise and
where there is intrinsic value.

         The Company made the following acquisitions in 1997: South Towne Center
in Sandy, Utah on March 27, 1997; Stonewood Mall in Downey, California on August
6, 1997; Manhattan Village in Manhattan Beach, California on August 19, 1997
through a joint venture in which the Company owns a 10% interest; The Citadel in
Colorado Springs, Colorado on December 19, 1997, and Great Falls Marketplace in
Great Falls, Montana on December 31, 1997. Together these properties are known
as the "1997 Acquisition Centers."

         The Company made the following acquisitions in 1998: The Company 
along with a 50/50 joint venture partner, acquired a portfolio of twelve 
regional malls totaling 10.7 million square feet on February 27, 1998; South 
Plains Mall in Lubbock, Texas on June 19,1998; Westside Pavilion in Los 
Angeles, California on July 1, 1998; Village at Corte Madera in Corte Madera, 
California in June and July 1998; Carmel Plaza in Carmel, California on 
August 10, 1998; and Northwest Arkansas Mall in Fayetteville, Arkansas on 
December 15, 1998. Together, these properties are known as the "1998 
Acquisition Centers."

         On February 18, 1999, the Company, along with a joint venture partner,
acquired a portfolio of three regional malls, the retail component of a
mixed-use development, five contiguous properties and two non-contiguous
community shopping centers totaling approximately 3.6 million square feet. The
Company is a 51% owner of this portfolio. The second phase of this transaction
consists of the acquisition of the office component of the mixed-use development
which is expected to occur in May 1999.

         REDEVELOPMENT. One of the major components of the Company's growth
strategy is its ability to redevelop acquired properties. For this reason, the
Company has built a staff of redevelopment professionals who have primary
responsibility for identifying redevelopment opportunities that will result in
enhanced long-term financial returns and market position for the Centers. The
redevelopment professionals oversee the design and construction of the projects
in addition to obtaining required governmental and Anchor approvals.

         THE CENTERS. As of February 18, 1999, the Centers consist of 46
Regional Shopping Centers and seven Community Shopping Centers aggregating
approximately 40 million square feet of GLA. The 46 Regional Shopping Centers in
the Company's portfolio average approximately 842,000 square feet of GLA and
range in size from 1.9 million square feet of GLA at Lakewood Mall to 324,859
square feet of GLA at Panorama Mall. The Company's seven Community Shopping
Centers, Albany Plaza, Boulder Plaza, Bristol Shopping Center, Carmel Plaza,
Eastland Plaza, Great Falls Marketplace and Villa Marina Marketplace, have an
average of 180,000 square feet of GLA. The 46 Regional Shopping Centers
presently include 163 Anchors totaling approximately 22.0 million square feet of
GLA and approximately 5,515 Mall and Freestanding Stores totaling approximately
18.0 million square feet of GLA.

         Total revenues increased from $221.2 million in 1997 to $283.9 million
in 1998 primarily due to the 1998 and 1997 acquisitions. See "Management's

         COST OF OCCUPANCY

         The Company's management believes that in order to maximize the
Company's operating cash flow, the Centers' Mall Store tenants must be able to
operate profitably. A major factor contributing to tenant profitability is cost
of occupancy. The following table summarizes occupancy costs for Mall Store
tenants in the Centers as a percentage of total Mall Store sales for the last
three years:

         COMPETITION

         The 46 Regional Shopping Centers are generally located in developed
areas in middle to upper income markets where there are relatively few other
Regional Shopping Centers. In addition, 44 of the 46 Regional Shopping Centers
contain more than 400,000 square feet of GLA. The Company intends to consider
additional expansion and renovation projects to maintain and enhance the quality
of the Centers and their competitive position in their trade areas.

         There are numerous owners and developers of real estate that compete
with the Company in its trade areas. There are ten other publicly traded mall
companies, any of which under certain circumstances, could compete against the
Company for an acquisition, an Anchor or a tenant. This results in competition
for both acquisition of centers and for tenants to occupy space. The existence
of competing shopping centers could have a material impact on the Company's
ability to lease space and on the level of rent that can be achieved. There is
also increasing competition from other forms of retail, such as factory outlet
centers, power centers, discount shopping clubs, mail-order services, internet
shopping and home shopping networks that could adversely affect the Company's
revenues.

         MAJOR TENANTS

         The Centers derived approximately 89.9% of their total rents for the
year ended December 31, 1998 from Mall and Freestanding Stores. One retailer
accounted for approximately 6.1% of annual base rents of the Company, and no
other single retailer accounted for more than 4.5%, as of December 31, 1998.

         The following retailers (including their subsidiaries) represent the 10
largest retailers in the Company's portfolio (excluding joint ventures) based
upon minimum rents in place as of December 31, 1998:

         MALL AND FREESTANDING STORES

         Mall and Freestanding Store leases generally provide for tenants to pay
rent comprised of a fixed base (or "minimum") rent and a percentage rent based
on sales. In some cases, tenants pay only a fixed minimum rent, and in some
cases, tenants pay only percentage rents. Most leases for Mall and Freestanding
Stores contain provisions that allow the Centers to recover their costs for
maintenance of the common areas, property taxes, insurance, advertising and
other expenditures related to the operations of the Center.

         The Company uses tenant spaces 10,000 square feet and under for
comparing rental rate activity. Tenant space under 10,000 square feet in the
portfolio at December 31, 1998, comprises 70.0% of all Mall and Freestanding
Store space. The Company believes that to include space over 10,000 square feet
would provide a less meaningful comparison.

         When an existing lease expires, the Company is often able to enter into
a new lease with a higher base rent component. The average base rent for new
Mall and Freestanding Store leases, 10,000 square feet or under, commencing
during 1998 was $28.58 per square foot, or 14% higher than the average base rent
for all Mall and Freestanding Stores (10,000 square feet or under) at December
31, 1998 of $25.08 per square foot.

         The following table sets forth for the Centers the average base rent
per square foot of Mall and Freestanding GLA, for tenants 10,000 square feet and
under, as of December 31 for each of the past three years.

</TABLE>


(1)  Average base rent per square foot is based on Mall and Freestanding Store
     GLA for spaces 10,000 square feet or under occupied as of December 31 for
     each of the Centers owned by the Company in 1996 (excluding the 1996
     Acquisition Centers), 1997 (excluding the 1997 Acquisition Centers), and
     1998 (excluding the 1998 Acquisition Centers).

(2)  The base rent on lease signings during the year represents the actual rent
     to be paid on a per square foot basis during the first twelve months. The
     1996 average excludes the 1996 Acquisition Centers, the 1997 average
     excludes the 1997 Acquisition Centers and the 1998 average excludes the
     1998 Acquisition Centers.

(3)  The average base rent on leases expiring during the year represents the
     final year minimum rent, on a cash basis, for all tenant leases 10,000
     square feet or under expiring during the year. On a comparable space basis,
     average rents on leases under 10,000 square feet commencing in 1998 was
     $31.04 compared to expiring rents of $26.34. The average base rent on
     leases expiring in 1996 excludes the 1996 Acquisition Centers, the average
     for 1997 excludes 1997 Acquisition Centers and the average for 1998
     excludes the 1998 Acquisition Centers.

     BANKRUPTCY AND/OR CLOSURE OF RETAIL STORES

         The bankruptcy and/or closure of an Anchor, or its sale to a less
desirable retailer, could adversely affect customer traffic in a Center and
thereby reduce the income generated by that Center. Furthermore, the closing of
an Anchor could, under certain circumstances, allow certain other Anchors or
other tenants to terminate their leases or cease operating their stores at the
Center or otherwise adversely affect occupancy at the Center. During 1997,
Montgomery Ward filed for bankruptcy. The Company has Montgomery Ward as an
Anchor in 11 of its Centers. Montgomery Ward has indicated that it plans to
cease operating at three of these locations. The Company is negotiating to
recapture these locations and replace Montgomery Ward with another department
store. Montgomery Ward has not yet disclosed whether it will cease to operate
any of its eight remaining stores at the Centers. If Montgomery Ward ceases to
operate any of its stores and the Company is unable to replace them with other
tenants, it could have an adverse effect on a Center.

<PAGE>

     BANKRUPTCY AND/OR CLOSURE OF RETAIL STORES, CONTINUED:

         Retail stores at the Centers other than Anchors may also seek the
protection of the bankruptcy laws and/or close stores, which could result in the
termination of such tenants' leases and thus cause a reduction in the cash flow
generated by the Centers. Although no single retailer accounts for greater than
6.1% of total rents, the bankruptcy and/or closure of stores could result in
decreased occupancy levels, reduced rental income or otherwise adversely impact
the Centers. Although certain tenants have filed for bankruptcy, the Company
does not believe such filings and any subsequent closures of their stores will
have a material adverse impact on its operations.


         LEASE EXPIRATIONS

         The following table shows scheduled lease expirations (for Centers
owned as of December 31, 1998) of Mall and Freestanding Stores 10,000 square
feet or under for the next ten years, assuming that none of the tenants exercise
renewal options.

         ANCHORS

         Anchors have traditionally been a major factor in the public's
identification with Regional Shopping Centers. Anchors are generally department
stores whose merchandise appeals to a broad range of shoppers. Although the
Centers receive a smaller percentage of their operating income from Anchors than
from Mall and Freestanding Stores, strong Anchors play an important part in
maintaining customer traffic and making the Centers desirable locations for Mall
and Freestanding Store tenants.

         Anchors either own their stores, the land under them and in some cases
adjacent parking areas, or enter into long-term leases with an owner at rates
that are lower than the rents charged to tenants of Mall and Freestanding
Stores. Each Anchor which owns its own store, and certain Anchors which lease
their stores, enter into reciprocal easement agreements with the owner of the
Center covering among other things, operational matters, initial construction
and future expansion.

         Anchors represented approximately 10.1% of the Company's total rent for
the year ended December 31, 1998.

         The following table identifies each Anchor, each parent company that
owns multiple Anchors and the number of square feet owned or leased by each such
Anchor or parent company in the Centers as of December 31, 1998, except as
otherwise indicated:

         announced that it will close its stores at Holiday Village Mall,
         Rimrock Mall and Southridge Mall in 1999. The Company is negotiating to
         recapture these locations and replace Montgomery Ward with another
         department store. Montgomery Ward has not yet disclosed whether it will
         cease to operate any of its eight remaining stores at the Centers.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

         Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations, an owner of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or
remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on or in such property.
Such laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew
of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances.
The costs of investigation, removal or remediation of such substances may be
substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly
remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or
rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral. Persons who
arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also
be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of a release of such
substances at a disposal treatment facility, whether or not such facility is
owned or operated by such person. Certain environmental laws impose liability
for release of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) into the air and third
parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for
personal injury associated ACMs. In connection with the ownership (direct or
indirect), operation, management and development of real properties, the Company
may be considered an owner or operator of such properties or as having arranged
for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances and therefore
potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other
related costs, including governmental fines and injuries to persons and
property.

         Each of the Centers has been subjected to a Phase I audit (which
involves review of publicly available information and general property
inspections, but does not involve soil sampling or ground water analysis)
completed by an environmental consultant.

         Based on these audits, and on other information, the Company is aware
of the following environmental issues that are reasonably possible to result in
costs associated with future investigation or remediation, or in environmental
liability:

               -    ASBESTOS. The Company has conducted ACM surveys at various
                    locations within the Centers. The surveys indicate that ACMs
                    are present or suspected in certain areas, primarily vinyl
                    floor tiles, mastics, roofing materials, drywall tape and
                    joint compounds. The identified ACMs are generally
                    non-friable, in good condition, and possess low
                    probabilities for disturbance. At certain Centers where ACMs
                    are present or suspected, however, some ACMs have been or
                    may be classified as "friable," and ultimately may require
                    removal under certain conditions. The Company has developed
                    and implemented an operations and maintenance (O&M) plan to
                    manage ACM in place.

               -    UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS. Underground storage tanks (USTs)
                    are or were present at certain of the Centers, often in
                    connection with tenant operations at gasoline stations or
                    automotive tire, battery and accessory service centers
                    located at such Centers. USTs also may be or have been
                    present at properties neighboring certain Centers. Some of
                    these tanks have either leaked or are suspected to have
                    leaked. Where leakage has occurred, investigation,
                    remediation, and monitoring costs may be incurred by the
                    Company if responsible current or former tenants, or other
                    responsible parties, are unavailable to pay such costs.

               -    CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS. The presence of chlorinated
                    hydrocarbons such as perchloroethylene (PCE) and its
                    degradation byproducts have been detected at certain of the
                    Centers, often in connection with tenant dry cleaning
                    operations. Where PCE has been detected, the Company may
                    incur investigation, remediation and monitoring costs if
                    responsible current or former tenants, or other responsible
                    parties, are unavailable to pay such costs.


         PCE has been detected in soil and groundwater in the vicinity of a dry
cleaning establishment at North Valley Plaza, formerly owned by a joint venture
of which the Company was a 50% member. The property was sold on December 18,
1997. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) advised the
Company in 1995 that very low levels of Dichloroethylene (1,2 DCE), a
degradation byproduct of PCE, had been detected in a municipal water well
located 1/4 mile west of the dry cleaners, and that the dry cleaning facility
may have contributed to the introduction of 1,2 DCE into the water well.
According to DTSC, the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for 1,2 DCE which is
permitted in drinking water is 6 parts per billion (ppb). The 1,2 DCE was
detected in the water well at a concentration of 1.2 ppb, which is below the
MCL. The Company has retained an environmental consultant and has initiated
extensive testing of the site. Remediation began in October 1997. The joint
venture agreed (between itself and the buyer) that it would be responsible for
continuing to pursue the investigation and remediation of impacted soil and
groundwater resulting from releases of PCE from the former dry cleaner. $153,100
and $124,000 have already been incurred by the joint venture for remediation,
and professional and legal fees for the periods ending December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. An additional $408,000 remains reserved by the joint venture
as of December 31, 1998.


                                  9

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS, CONTINUED:


The joint venture has been sharing costs on a 50/50 basis with a former owner of
the property and intends to look to additional responsible parties for recovery.

         Low levels of toluene, a petroleum constituent, was detected in one of
three groundwater dewatering system holding tanks at Queens Center. Although the
Company believes that no remediation will be required, the Company established a
$150,000 reserve in 1996 to cover professional fees and testing costs, which was
reduced by costs incurred of $2,300 and $18,000 for the twelve months ending
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company intends to look to the
responsible parties and insurers if remediation is required.

         The Company acquired Fresno Fashion Fair in December 1996. Asbestos has
been detected in structural fireproofing throughout much of the Center. Testing
data conducted by professional environmental consulting firms indicates that the
fireproofing is largely inaccessible to building occupants and is well adhered
to the structural members. Additionally, airborne concentrations of asbestos
were well within OSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) of .1 fcc. The
accounting for this acquisition includes a reserve of $3.3 million to cover
future removal of this asbestos, as necessary. The Company incurred $255,500 and
$170,000 in remediation costs for the twelve months ending December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively.

INSURANCE

         The Company has comprehensive liability, fire, flood, extended coverage
and rental loss insurance with respect to the Centers. The Company or the joint
venture, as applicable, also currently carries earthquake insurance covering the
Centers located in California. Management believes that such insurance provides
adequate coverage. The Company has been notified by certain of its insurance
carriers that coverage will not be provided for various claims relating to the
Year 2000 issues and is negotiating with such carriers regarding the scope of
any Year 2000 exclusions.

QUALIFICATION AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

         The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), commencing with its
first taxable year ended December 31, 1994, and intends to conduct its
operations so as to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust under
the Code. As a real estate investment trust, the Company generally will not be
subject to federal and state income taxes on its net taxable income that it
currently distributes to stockholders. Qualification and taxation as a real
estate investment trust depends on the Company's ability to meet certain
dividend distribution tests, share ownership requirements and various
qualification tests prescribed in the Code.


 EMPLOYEES

         The Company and the Management Companies employ approximately 1,443
persons, including eight executive officers, personnel in the areas of
acquisitions and business development (7), property management (260), leasing
(68), redevelopment/construction (22), financial services (37) and legal affairs
(24). In addition, in an effort to minimize operating costs, the Company
generally maintains its own security staff (447) and maintenance staff (570).
Approximately six of these employees are represented by a union. The Company
believes that relations with its employees are good.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES, CONTINUED

(1)  The land underlying thirty-nine of the Centers is owned in fee entirely
     by the Company or, in the case of jointly-owned Centers, by the joint
     venture property partnership or limited liability company. All or part of
     the land underlying the remaining Centers is owned by third parties and
     leased to the Company or property partnership pursuant to long-term ground
     leases. Under the terms of a typical ground lease, the Company or property
     partnership pays rent for the use of the land and is generally responsible
     for all costs and expenses associated with the building and improvements.
     In some cases, the Company or property partnership has an option or right
     of first refusal to purchase the land. The termination dates of the ground
     leases range from 2000 to 2070.

(2)  Includes GLA attributable to Anchors (whether owned or non-owned) and Mall
     and Freestanding Stores as of December 31, 1998.

(3)  Sales are based on reports by retailers leasing Mall and Freestanding
     Stores for the year ending December 31, 1998 for tenants which have
     occupied such stores for a minimum of twelve months. Consistent with
     industry practices, sales per square foot are based on gross leased and
     occupied area, excluding theaters, and are not based on GLA. 

(4)  Portions of the land on which the Center is situated are subject to one
     or more ground leases. 

(5)  Wal-Mart opened in May 1998.

(6)  During 1997, Montgomery Ward filed for bankruptcy. Montgomery Ward
     announced that it will close its stores at Holiday Village Mall, Rimrock
     Mall and Southridge Mall in 1999. Montgomery Ward has not yet disclosed
     whether it will cease to operate any of its eight remaining stores at the
     Centers.

(7)  Edwards Cinema signed a lease in January 1997 to open a 16 screen
     theater in the former Broadway location.

(8)  These properties have a vacant Anchor location. The Company is
     contemplating various replacement tenant/redevelopment opportunities for
     these vacant sites.

(9)  Certain spaces have been intentionally held off the market and remain
     vacant because of major redevelopment plans. As a result, the Company
     believes the percentage of Mall and Free-standing GLA leased and the sales
     per square foot at these major redevelopment properties is not meaningful
     data.

(10) Final 1998 sales per square foot information is not currently
     available.

     Notes:

     (1)     The annual debt service payment represents the payment of principal
             and interest. In addition, contingent interest, as defined in the
             loan agreement, may be due to the extent that 35% of the gross
             receipts (as defined in the loan agreement) exceeds a base amount
             specified therein. Contingent interest recognized was $387,101 for
             the year ended December 31, 1998 and $98,528 for the year ended
             December 31, 1997.
     (2)     This loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 0.45%. There was an interest
             rate protection agreement in place on the first $10.2 million of
             this debt with a LIBOR ceiling of 5.88% through maturity with the
             remaining principal having an interest rate cap with a LIBOR
             ceiling of 7.07% through 1997 and 7.7% thereafter. This loan was
             paid in full on February 4, 1999 and refinanced with a new loan of
             $100 million, with interest at 6.74%, maturing in 2009.
     (3)     These loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%.

MORTGAGE DEBT, CONTINUED:


     (4)       This note was assumed at acquisition. At the time of
               acquisition in June 1998, this debt was recorded at fair market
               value and the premium was amortized as interest expense over the
               life of the loan using the effective interest method. The monthly
               debt service payment was $348,000 per month and was calculated
               based on a 12.5% interest rate. At December 31, 1998, the
               unamortized premium was $6,165,000. On February 17, 1999, the
               loan was paid in full and was refinanced with a new loan of $65
               million, with interest at 7.49%, maturing in 2009.

     (5)       Reflects the Company's pro rata share of debt.

     (6)       In connection with the acquisition of these Centers, the
               joint venture assumed $485 million of mortgage notes payable
               which are secured by the properties. At acquisition, this debt
               reflected a fair market value of $322.7 million, which included
               an unamortized premium of $22.7 million. This premium is being
               amortized as interest expense over the life of the loan using the
               effective interest method. At December 31, 1998, the unamortized 
               balance of the debt premium was $20.9 million. This debt is due 
               in May 2006 and requires a monthly payment of $926,000. $185 
               million of this debt is due in May 2003 and requires monthly 
               interest payments at a variable weighted average rate (based on 
               LIBOR) of 6.15% at December 31, 1998. This variable rate debt 
               is covered by an interest rate cap agreement which effectively 
               prevents the interest rate from exceeding 11.53%. 

         At December 31,1997, the Company had $55.0 million of borrowings
outstanding under its $60.0 million unsecured credit facility, which bore
interest at LIBOR plus 1.325%. On February 26, 1998, the Company increased this
credit facility to $150 million with a maturity of February 2000, currently
bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.15%. The interest rate on such credit facility
fluctuates between 0.95% and 1.15% over LIBOR. As of December 31, 1998, $137
million of borrowings was outstanding under this line of credit at an interest
rate of 6.79%.

         Additionally, the Company had issued $776,000 in letters of credit
guaranteeing performance by the Company of certain events. The Company does not
believe that these letters of credit will result in a liability to the Company.

         During January 1999, the Company entered into a bank construction loan
agreement to fund $89.2 million of costs related to the redevelopment of Pacific
View. See "Item 2. Properties." The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and
matures in February 2001. Principal is drawn as construction costs are incurred.

         During 1997, the Company issued and sold $161.4 million of convertible
subordinated debentures (the"Debentures") due 2002. The Debentures, which were
sold at par, bear interest at 7.25% annually (payable semi-annually) and are
convertible at any time, on or after 60 days, from the date of issue at a
conversion price of $31.125 per share. The Debentures mature on December 15,
2002 and are callable by the Company after June 15, 2002 at par plus accrued
interest.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         The Company, the Operating Partnership, the Management Companies and
the affiliated partnerships are not currently involved in any material
litigation nor, to the Company's knowledge, is any material litigation currently
threatened against such entities or the Centers, other than routine litigation
arising in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be
covered by liability insurance. For information about certain environmental
matters, see "Business of the Company - Environmental Matters."

ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

         The following sets forth selected financial data for the Company on a
historical and pro forma consolidated basis, and for the Centers and the
Management Companies (collectively, the "Predecessor") on a historical combined
basis. The following data should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements (and the notes thereto) of the Company and "Management's Discussion
And Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" each included
elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

         The pro forma data for the Company for the year ended December 31, 1994
has been prepared as if the IPO, and the transactions related to the
reorganization of the Operating Partnership and formation of the Company (the
"Formation") and the application of the net proceeds of the IPO had occurred as
of January 1, 1994. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of
what the Company's financial position or results of operations would have been
assuming the completion of the Formation and IPO at the beginning of the period
indicated, nor does it purport to project the Company's financial position or
results of operations at any future date or for any future period.

         The Selected Financial Data is presented on a combined basis. The
limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (not owned by the
REIT) are reflected in the pro forma data as minority interest. Centers in which
the Company does not have a controlling ownership interest (Panorama Mall, North
Valley Plaza, Broadway Plaza, Manhattan Village, SDG Macerich Properties, L.P.
and West Acres Shopping Center) are referred to as the "Joint Venture Centers",
and along with the Management Companies, are reflected in the selected financial
data under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the net income from the
Joint Venture Centers and the Management Companies that is allocable to the
Company is included in the statement of operations as "Equity in income (loss)
of unconsolidated joint ventures and Management Companies."

     one-for-one basis for common stock. The preferred shares are not assumed
     converted for purposes of net income per share as they would be
     anti-dilutive to that calculation. The preferred shares are assumed
     converted for purposes of FFO-diluted per share as they are dilutive to

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL BACKGROUND AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT

         The Company believes that the most significant measures of its
operating performance are Funds from Operations and EBITDA. Funds from
Operations is defined as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP),
excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales or write-down of
assets, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding depreciation on personal
property and amortization of loan and financial instrument costs), and after
adjustments for unconsolidated entities. Adjustments for unconsolidated entities
are calculated on the same basis. Funds from Operations does not represent cash
flow from operations as defined by GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of
cash available to fund all cash flow needs.

         EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation,
amortization, minority interest, equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated
entities, extraordinary items, gain (loss) on sale of assets and preferred
dividends. This data is relevant to an understanding of the economics of the
shopping center business as it indicates cash flow available from operations to
service debt and satisfy certain fixed obligations. EBITDA should not be
construed as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company's
operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined
in accordance with GAAP) or as a measure of liquidity. While the performance of
individual Centers and the Management Companies determines EBITDA, the Company's
capital structure also influences Funds from Operations. The most important
component in determining EBITDA and Funds from Operations is Center revenues.
Center revenues consist primarily of minimum rents, percentage rents and tenant
expense recoveries. Minimum rents will increase to the extent that new leases
are signed at market rents that are higher than prior rents. Minimum rent will
also fluctuate up or down with changes in the occupancy level. Additionally, to
the extent that new leases are signed with more favorable expense recovery
terms, expense recoveries will increase.

         Percentage rents generally increase or decrease with changes in tenant
sales. As leases roll over, however, a portion of historical percentage rent is
often converted to minimum rent. It is therefore common for percentage rents to
decrease as minimum rents increase. Accordingly, in discussing financial
performance, the Company combines minimum and percentage rents in order to
better measure revenue growth.

         The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated
financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997
and 1996. The following discussion compares the activity for the year ended
December 31, 1998 to results of operations for 1997. Also included is a
comparison of the activities for the year ended December 31, 1997 to the results
for the year ended December 31, 1996. This information should be read in
conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

</TABLE>

(*) denotes the Company owns these Centers through a joint venture partnership.

The financial statements include the results of these Centers for periods
subsequent to their acquisition.

         Many of the variations in the results of operations, discussed 
below, occurred due to the addition of these properties to the portfolio 
during 1998, 1997 and 1996. Many factors impact the Company's ability to 
acquire additional properties including the availability and cost of capital, 
overall debt to market capitalization level, interest rates and availability 
of potential acquisition targets that meet the Company's criteria. 
Accordingly, management is uncertain whether during the balance of 1999, and 
in future years, there will be similar acquisitions and corresponding 
increases in revenues, net income and Funds from Operations that occurred as 
a result of the 1998, 1997 and 1996 Acquisition Centers. Pacific View 
(formerly known as Buenaventura Mall), Crossroads Mall-Boulder, Huntington 
Center and Parklane Mall are currently under redevelopment and are referred 
to herein as the "Redevelopment Centers." All other centers are referred to 
herein as the "Same Centers".

         The bankruptcy and/or closure of an Anchor, or its sale to a less
desirable retailer, could adversely affect customer traffic in a Center and
thereby reduce the income generated by that Center. Furthermore, the closing of
an Anchor could, under certain circumstances, allow certain other Anchors or
other tenants to terminate their leases or cease operating their stores at the
Center or otherwise adversely affect occupancy at the Center. During 1997,
Montgomery Ward filed for bankruptcy. The Company has Montgomery Ward as an
Anchor in 11 of its Centers. Montgomery Ward has indicated that it plans to
cease operating at three of these locations. The Company is negotiating to
recapture these locations and replace Montgomery Ward with another department
store. Montgomery Ward has not yet disclosed whether they will cease to operate
any of its eight remaining stores at the Centers. If Montgomery Ward ceases to
operate any of its stores and the Company is unable to replace them with other
tenants, it could have an adverse effect on a Center.

         In addition, the Company's success in the highly competitive real
estate shopping center business depends upon many other factors, including
general economic conditions, the ability of tenants to make rent payments,
increases or decreases in operating expenses, occupancy levels, changes in
demographics, competition from other centers and forms of retailing and the
ability to renew leases or relet space upon the expiration or termination of
leases.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

         Total assets increased to $2,322 million at December 31, 1998 compared
to $1,505 million at December 31, 1997 and $1,188 million at December 31, 1996.
During that same period, total liabilities increased from $838 million in 1996
to $1,188 million in 1997 and $1,579 million in 1998. These changes were
primarily as a result of the 1996 and 1998 common stock offerings, the 1997
convertible debenture offering, the purchase of the 1998, 1997 and 1996
Acquisition Centers and related debt transactions.

A.       EQUITY OFFERINGS

         The Company sold 7,920,181 shares of its common stock in six offerings
during 1998, raising $203.8 million of net proceeds.

         On February 25, 1998, the Company issued 3,627,131 shares of its Series
A Preferred Stock for net proceeds totaling $99.0 million.

         On June 17, 1998, the Company issued 5,487,471 shares of its Series B
Preferred Stock for net proceeds totaling $148.5 million.

         The total net proceeds from the 1998 common and preferred stock
offerings totaled $451.3 million. These proceeds were used for the 1998
acquisitions, reducing borrowings under the Company's line of credit and general
corporate purposes.

B.       ACQUISITIONS

         On February 27, 1998, the Company, through a 50/50 joint venture with
an affiliate of Simon Property Group, Inc., acquired the ERE Yarmouth portfolio
of twelve regional malls. The properties in the portfolio comprise 10.7 million
square feet and are located in eight states. The total purchase price was $974.5
million, which included $485.0 million of assumed debt, at market value. The
Company's share of the cash component of the purchase price was funded by
issuing $100.0 million of Series A Preferred Stock, $80.0 million of common
stock and borrowing the balance from the Company's line of credit.

         South Plains Mall was acquired on June 19, 1998. South Plains Mall is a
1,140,574 square foot super regional mall located in Lubbock, Texas. The
purchase price was $115.5 million, consisting of $29.3 million of assumed debt,
at fair market value, and $86.2 million of cash. The cash portion was funded
with a portion of the proceeds from the Company's Series B Preferred Stock
offering.

         Westside Pavilion was acquired on July 1, 1998 for $170.5 million.
Westside Pavilion is a 755,759 square foot regional mall located in Los Angeles,
California. The purchase price was funded with a portion of the proceeds from
the Company's Series B Preferred Stock offering, borrowings under the Company's
line of credit and the placement of a ten year $100.0 million mortgage secured
by the property.

         The Village at Corte Madera is a 428,398 square foot regional mall in
Corte Madera, California, which the Company acquired in two phases: (i) 40% on
June 16, 1998 and (ii) the remaining 60% on July 24, 1998. In addition, Carmel
Plaza, a 115,215 square foot community shopping center in Carmel, California was
acquired on August 10, 1998. The combined purchase price was $165.5 million,
consisting of $40.0 million of assumed debt, the issuance of $7.9 million of OP
Units and $117.6 million in cash. The cash component was funded by borrowings
under the Company's line of credit.

         Northwest Arkansas Mall was acquired on December 15, 1998. Northwest
Arkansas Mall is a 780,237 square foot regional mall located in Fayetteville,
Arkansas. The purchase price of $94.0 million was funded by a concurrently
placed loan of $63.0 million and borrowings of $31.0 million under the Company's
line of credit.

         On February 18, 1999, through a 51/49 joint venture with Ontario
Teachers' Pension Plan Board, the Company closed on the first phase of a two
phase acquisition of a portfolio of properties. The phase one closing included
the acquisition of three regional malls, the retail component of a mixed-use
development, five contiguous properties and two non-contiguous community
shopping centers comprising approximately 3.6 million square feet for a total
purchase price of approximately $427.0 million. The purchase price was funded
with a $120.0 million loan placed concurrently with the closing, $140.4 million
of debt from an affiliate of the seller, and $39.4 million of assumed debt. The
balance of the purchase price was paid in cash. The Company's share of the cash
component was funded with the proceeds from two refinancings of centers and
borrowings under the Company's line of credit.


                                  25
<PAGE>

B.        ACQUISITIONS, CONTINUED:

The second phase consists of the acquisition of the office component of the
mixed-use development for a purchase price of approximately $115 million. The
closing of the second phase is expected to occur in May 1999.

C.       REFINANCINGS

         On August 3, 1998, the Company, along with the joint venture partner,
refinanced the debt secured by Broadway Plaza. The loan of $43.5 million was
paid in full and a new note was issued for $75.0 million bearing interest at a
fixed rate of 6.68% and maturing August 1, 2008.

         On August 7, 1998, the Company refinanced the debt on Fresno Fashion
Fair. A $38.0 million loan was paid in full and a new secured note was issued
for $69.0 million bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.52% and maturing August
10, 2008.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997

         REVENUES

                    Minimum and percentage rents increased by 27% to $192.6
         million in 1998 from $151.5 million in 1997. Approximately $18.9
         million of the increase resulted from the 1997 Acquisition Centers,
         $18.8 million resulted from the 1998 Acquisition Centers and $5.0
         million of the increase was attributable to the Same Centers. These
         increases were partially offset by revenue decreases at the
         Redevelopment Centers of $1.6 million in 1998.

                    Tenant recoveries increased to $86.7 million in 1998 from
         $66.5 million in 1997. The 1998 and 1997 Acquisition Centers generated
         $17.7 million of this increase and $2.2 million of the increase was
         from the Same Centers.

                    Other income increased to $4.5 million in 1998 from $3.2
         million in 1997. Approximately $0.6 million of the increase related to
         the 1998 and 1997 Acquisition Centers, $0.7 million of the increase was
         attributable to the Same Centers and the Redevelopment Centers.

         EXPENSES

                    Shopping center expenses increased to $90.0 million in 1998
         compared to $70.9 million in 1997. Approximately $17.3 million of the
         increase resulted from the 1998 and 1997 Acquisition Centers. The other
         Centers had a net increase of $1.8 million in shopping center expenses
         resulting primarily from increased property taxes and recoverable
         expenses.

                    General and administrative expenses increased to $4.4
         million in 1998 from $2.8 million in 1997 primarily due to the
         accounting change required by EITF 97-11, "Accounting for Internal
         Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions," which requires
         the expensing of internal acquisition costs. Previously in accordance
         with GAAP, certain internal acquisition costs were capitalized. The
         increase is also attributable to higher executive and director
         compensation expense.


         INTEREST EXPENSE

                    Interest expense increased to $91.4 million in 1998 from
         $66.4 million in 1997. This increase of $25.0 million is primarily
         attributable to the acquisition activity in 1997 and 1998, which was
         partially funded with secured debt and borrowings under the Company's
         line of credit. In addition, in June and July of 1997, the Company
         issued $161.4 million of convertible debentures, which contributed to
         $5.7 million of this increase.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

                    Depreciation increased to $53.1 million from $41.5 million
         in 1997. This increase relates primarily to the 1997 and 1998
         Acquisition Centers.


                                  26
<PAGE>

         MINORITY INTEREST

                    The minority interest represents the 28.4% weighted average
         interest of the Operating Partnership that was not owned by the Company
         during 1998. This compares to 31.8% not owned by the Company during
         1997.

         INCOME (LOSS) FROM UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES AND MANAGEMENT 
         COMPANIES

                    The income from unconsolidated joint ventures and the
         Management Companies was $14.5 million for 1998, compared to a loss of
         $8.1 million in 1997. A total of $14.5 million of the change is
         attributable to the 1998 acquisition of the ERE/Yarmouth portfolio.
         Also, in 1997, there was a write-down and loss of $10.5 million on the
         sale of North Valley Plaza.

         GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS

                  During 1997, the Company sold a parcel of land for a net gain
          of $1.6 million compared to a minimal amount of gain on sale
          recognized in 1998.

         EXTRAORDINARY LOSS FROM  EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

                    In 1998, the Company wrote off  $2.4 million of unamortized
         financing costs, compared to $0.6 million written off in 1997.

         NET INCOME AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

                    As a result of the foregoing, net income available to common
         stockholders increased to $32.5 million in 1998 from $22.0 million in
         1997.

         OPERATING ACTIVITIES

                    Cash flow from operations was $85.2 million in 1998 compared
         to $78.4 million in 1997. The increase resulted from the factors
         discussed above, primarily the impact of the 1997 and 1998 Acquisition
         Centers.

         INVESTING ACTIVITIES

                    Cash flow used in investing activities was $761.1 million in
         1998 compared to $215.0 million in 1997. The change resulted primarily
         from the higher volume of acquisition activity completed in 1998
         compared to 1997.

         FINANCING ACTIVITIES

                    Cash flow from financing activities was $676.0 million in
         1998 compared to $146.0 million in 1997. The increase resulted from the
         offerings of 7,920,181 shares of common stock, 3,627,131 shares of
         Series A Preferred Stock and 5,487,471 shares of Series B Preferred
         Stock completed in 1998. No equity was raised in 1997.

         EBITDA AND FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

                    Primarily because of the factors mentioned above, EBITDA
         increased 28% to $189.5 million in 1998 from $147.6 million in 1997 and
         Funds from Operations - Diluted increased 44% to $120.5 million from
         $83.4 million in 1997.

COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

                  REVENUES

                    Minimum and percentage rents increased by 44% to $151.5
         million in 1997 from $105.2 million in 1996. Approximately $36.0
         million of the increase resulted from the 1996 Acquisition Centers and
         $11.9 million resulted from the 1997 Acquisition Centers. These
         increases were partially offset by decreases of $0.5 million at
         Parklane Mall and $0.3 million at Crossroads-Boulder, both due to
         reduced occupancy incurred during redevelopment.


                                  27
<PAGE>

         REVENUES, CONTINUED:



                    Tenant recoveries increased to $66.5 million in 1997 from
         $47.7 million in 1996. The 1997 and 1996 Acquisition Centers generated
         $19.6 million of this increase. These increases were partially offset
         by lower recoveries resulting from lower Same Center recoverable
         expenses in 1997 compared to 1996.

                    Other income increased to $3.2 million in 1997 from $2.2
         million in 1996. Approximately $0.5 million of the increase related to
         the 1997 and 1996 Acquisition Centers, and approximately $0.5 million
         of this increase resulted from nonrecurring fee income received in
         1997.

         EXPENSES

                    Shopping center expenses increased to $70.9 million in 1997
         compared to $50.8 million in 1996. Approximately $20.9 million of the
         increase resulted from the 1997 and 1996 Acquisition Centers. The other
         centers had a net decrease of $0.8 million in shopping center expenses
         resulting primarily from decreased property taxes, insurance premiums
         and recoverable expenses.

                    General and administrative expenses increased to $2.8
         million in 1997 from $2.4 million in 1996, primarily due to increased
         executive and director compensation expense and professional fee
         expense.

         INTEREST EXPENSE

                    Interest expense increased to $66.4 million in 1997 from
         $42.4 million in 1996. This increase of $24.0 million is attributable
         to the acquisition activity in 1997 and 1996, which was partially
         funded with secured debt. In addition, in June and July 1997, the
         Company issued $161.4 million of convertible debentures.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

                    Depreciation increased to $41.5 million from $32.6 million
         in 1996. This increase relates primarily to the 1996 and 1997
         Acquisition Centers.

         MINORITY INTEREST

                    The minority interest represented the 31.8% weighted average
         interest of the Operating Partnership that was not owned by the Company
         during 1997. This compares to 36.9% not owned by the Company during
         1996.

         INCOME (LOSS) FROM UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES AND MANAGEMENT 
         COMPANIES

                    The loss from unconsolidated joint ventures and the
         Management Companies was $8.1 million for 1997, compared to a gain of
         $3.3 million in 1996. A total of $10.5 million of the change is
         attributable to the write-down and the loss on the sale of North Valley
         Plaza in 1997.

         GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS

                  During 1997 the Company sold a parcel of land for a net gain 
         of $1.6 million.  There was no gain on sale recognized in 1996.

         EXTRAORDINARY LOSS FROM EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

                    In 1997 the Company wrote off $0.6 million of unamortized
         financing costs, compared to $0.3 million written off in 1996.

         NET INCOME

                    As a result of the foregoing, net income increased to $22.0
         million in 1997 from $18.9 million in 1996.

<PAGE>

         OPERATING ACTIVITIES

                    Cash flow from operations was $78.5 million in 1997 compared
         to $80.4 million in 1996. The decrease resulted from the factors
         discussed above, primarily the impact of the 1996 and 1997 Acquisition
         Centers and related financings.

         INVESTING ACTIVITIES

                    Cash flow used in investing activities was $215.0 million in
         1997 compared to $296.7 million in 1996. The change resulted primarily
         from the four acquisitions completed in 1997 compared to seven
         acquisitions in 1996.

         FINANCING ACTIVITIES

                    Cash flow from financing activities was $146.0 million in 
         1997 compared to $216.3 million in 1996.  The decrease resulted from 
         more acquisition financing done in 1996 than 1997.

         EBITDA AND FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

                    Due primarily to the factors mentioned above, EBITDA
         increased 45%, to $147.6 million in 1997 from $101.9 million in 1996
         and Funds From Operations increased 33%, to $83.2 million, from $62.4
         million in 1996.


         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                    The Company intends to meet its short term liquidity
         requirements through cash generated from operations and working capital
         reserves. The Company anticipates that revenues will continue to
         provide necessary funds for its operating expenses and debt service
         requirements, and to pay dividends to stockholders in accordance with
         REIT requirements. The Company anticipates that cash generated from
         operations, together with cash on hand, will be adequate to fund
         capital expenditures which will not be reimbursed by tenants, other
         than non-recurring capital expenditures. Capital for major expenditures
         or major redevelopments has been, and is expected to continue to be,
         obtained from equity or debt financings which include borrowings under
         the Company's line of credit and construction loans. However, many
         factors impact the Company's ability to access capital, such as its 
         overall debt to market capitalization level, interest rates and 
         interest coverage ratios. The Company currently is undertaking a $90 
         million redevelopment of Pacific View. See "Item 2. Properties." The 
         Company has a bank construction loan agreement to fund $89.2 million 
         of these construction costs.

                    The Company believes that it will have access to the capital
         necessary to expand its business in accordance with its strategies for
         growth and maximizing Funds from Operations. The Company presently
         intends to obtain additional capital necessary to expand its business
         through a combination of additional public and private equity
         offerings, debt financings and/or joint ventures. During 1998 and 1999,
         the Company acquired two portfolios through joint ventures with another
         party. The Company believes such joint venture arrangements provide an
         attractive alternative to other forms of financing, particularly during
         periods when access to public capital markets is restricted by
         prevailing market conditions. See "Equity Offerings" and
         "Acquisitions."

                    The Company's total outstanding loan indebtedness at
         December 31, 1998 was $1.8 billion (including its pro rata share of
         joint venture debt). This equated to a debt to Total Market
         Capitalization (defined as total debt of the Company, including its pro
         rata share of joint venture debt, plus aggregate market value of
         outstanding shares of common stock, assuming full conversion of OP
         Units and preferred stock into common stock) ratio of approximately 56%
         at December 31, 1998. The Company's debt consists primarily of
         fixed-rate conventional mortgages payable secured by individual
         properties. See "Properties-Mortgage Debt" for a description of the
         Company's outstanding mortgage indebtedness.

                    The Company has filed a shelf registration statement,
         effective December 8, 1997, to sell securities. The shelf registration
         is for a total of $500 million of common stock, common stock warrants
         or common stock rights. On February 18, 1998, the Company issued
         1,052,650 shares and on February 23, 1998 an additional 1,826,484
         shares were issued. On April 24, 1998, the Company issued 808,989
         shares and an additional 967,256, 1,864, 802 and 1,400,000 shares were
         issued on April 29, 1998, May 29, 1998 and December 14, 1998,
         respectively. The aggregate offering price of these transactions was
         approximately $212.9 million, leaving approximately $287.1 million
         available under the shelf registration statement.

         YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

         THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BELOW CONTAINS YEAR 2000 STATEMENTS AND IS A
YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO PUB. L. NO. 105-271.

         YEAR 2000 ISSUES

         The Year 2000 issue is the result of many existing computer programs
and embedded technology using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. The Company's computer equipment and software and devices with
embedded technology that are time-sensitive may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in system failure or
erroneous data which would cause disruptions of operations.

         The Company has initiated a Year 2000 compliance program consisting of
the following phases: (1) identification of Year 2000 issues; (2) assessment of
Year 2000 compliance of systems; (3) remediation or replacement of non-compliant
systems; (4) testing to verify compliance; and (5) contingency planning, as
appropriate. This program includes a review of both information technology
("IT") and non-IT systems and is being supervised by the Company's Year 2000
team which consists of management as well as operational and IT staff members.

         On February 18, 1999, the Company acquired several properties from
various Safeco Corporation entities and is in the process of reviewing each
property's Year 2000 readiness. Such review is anticipated to be completed by
June 30, 1999. See "Recent Developments - Acquisitions". The following
disclosure provides information regarding the Company's properties excluding
those acquisition properties.

         IT SYSTEMS

         The Company has reviewed its core computer hardware systems and
software programs to determine if such systems and programs will properly
process dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter. Based on manufacturer or vendor
information, the Company presently believes most of its critical computer
hardware systems and software programs are substantially Year 2000 compliant.
The Company is aware of one critical hardware system which needs a Year 2000
upgrade at a cost of approximately $13,100. The Company is currently conducting
its own evaluation and testing to verify compliance of its critical hardware
systems and software and expects to conclude such testing by June 1, 1999.

         The most important software program to the Company's operations is its
property management and accounting software. The Company has been advised by its
independent software vendor that it has completed its evaluation, testing and
modification of this program and the necessary changes have been completed to
achieve Year 2000 compliance. The Company is conducting its own evaluation and
testing to confirm this conclusion and expects to complete such testing by June
1, 1999.

         The Company completed its assessment of the Year 2000 compliance of its
non-critical computer hardware systems and software programs by its target date
of December 31, 1998. Based on manufacturer or vendor information, the Company
presently believes that substantially all of its non-critical hardware systems
and software programs are Year 2000 compliant.

         YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE, CONTINED:

         NON-IT SYSTEMS

         Part of the Company's Year 2000 program also includes a review of 
the various operating systems of each of its portfolio properties and main 
offices. These systems typically include embedded technology which 
complicates the Company's Year 2000 efforts. Examples of these types of 
systems include energy management systems, telecommunication systems, 
elevators, security systems and copiers. The various operating systems have 
been assigned priorities based on the importance of the system to each 
property's operations and the potential impact of non-compliance. All of the 
Company's properties have substantially completed their initial assessment of 
each system and are verifying Year 2000 compliance through the manufacturers 
and/or vendors of the systems. Approximately 70% of the critical operating 
systems for which the Company has received information from manufacturers or 
vendors are substantially Year 2000 compliant as reported by such entities. 
Certain critical systems, 11 energy management systems, one telephone system, 
and one parking access computer software system, will need Year 2000 upgrades 
and the Company is in the process of obtaining such upgrades at an aggregate 
cost of approximately $50,000. Other non-compliant critical systems are being 
upgraded by the manufacturer at no cost to the Company or were previously 
scheduled for replacement or upgrades prior to January 1, 2000. With respect 
to approximately 20% of its critical operating systems, the Company has not 
received the necessary information to assess the Year 2000 compliance of such 
systems. The Company is contacting these manufacturers/ vendors to obtain the 
information necessary to complete its Year 2000 compliance assessment.

         Each property is preparing recommendations regarding the remediation
and testing phases. Remediation and testing recommendations and time lines are
prepared based on the importance of each system to the property's operations and
information received from the manufacturer/vendor. The Company plans to
coordinate the testing phase with the manufacturers/vendors of the systems, as
appropriate. The Company established June 1, 1999 as its target date to complete
the remediation and testing phases for the critical operating systems at each
property. The Company will need the cooperation of its manufacturers/vendors in
providing information and testing assistance to meet this timeline for its
critical operating systems. If such cooperation is not provided, completion of
these phases will be delayed. The Company expects the Year 2000 program to
continue beyond January 1, 2000 with respect to non-critical operating systems
and issues.

         MATERIAL THIRD PARTIES

         The Company mailed surveys to its material vendors, utilities and
tenants about their plans and progress in addressing the Year 2000 issue. Those
entities surveyed include the utilities for each mall (i.e., electric, gas,
water, telephone and waste management companies), the largest tenants of the
Company based on the amount of their 1998 rent payments and certain Anchor
tenants. As of this date, the Company has received responses from approximately
58% of those entities surveyed. Generally, the responses received state that the
entity is in the process of addressing the Year 2000 compliance issues and
expects to achieve compliance prior to January 1, 2000.

         COSTS

         Because the Company's assessment, remediation and testing efforts are
ongoing, the Company is unable to estimate the actual costs of achieving Year
2000 compliance for its IT and non-IT systems. Based on information received
from manufacturers/vendors, the Company presently anticipates that the
assessment and remediation costs will not be material. As of December 31, 1998,
the Company has not expended significant amounts since its evaluation of Year
2000 issues has been primarily conducted by its own personnel. The Company does
not separately record the internal costs incurred for its Year 2000 compliance
program. Such costs are primarily the related payroll costs for its personnel
who are part of the Year 2000 program.

         RISKS

         As is true of most businesses, the Company is vulnerable to external
forces that might generally effect industry and commerce, such as utility
company Year 2000 compliance failures and related service interruptions. In
addition, failure of information and operating systems of tenants may delay the
payment of rent to the Company or impair their ability to operate. A formal
contingency plan has not yet been developed for dealing with the most reasonably
likely worst case scenario. The Company will continue to evaluate potential
areas of risk and develop a contingency plan, as appropriate.

         Based on currently available information, the Company believes that the
Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for the Company.
However, if all Year 2000 issues are not properly identified, or assessment,
remediation and testing are not effected in a timely manner, there can be no
assurance that the Year 2000 issue will not adversely affect the Company's
results of operations or its relationships with tenants or other third parties.
Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issues of third
parties will not have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations.

         FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

                  The Company believes that the most significant measure of its
         performance is FFO. FFO is defined by The National Association of Real
         Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") to be: Net income (loss) (computed
         in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
         restructuring and sales or write-down of assets, plus depreciation and
         amortization (excluding depreciation on personal property and
         amortization of loan and financial instrument costs) and after
         adjustments for unconsolidated entities. Adjustments for unconsolidated
         entities are calculated on the same basis. FFO does not represent cash
         flow from operations, as defined by GAAP, and is not necessarily
         indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. The following
         reconciles net income available to common stockholders to FFO:

         (1)   Calculated based upon basic net income as adjusted to reach
               basic FFO. Weighted average number of shares includes the
               weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for 1998
               assuming the conversion of all outstanding OP Units.

         (2)   The computation of FFO - diluted and diluted average number
               of shares outstanding includes the effect of outstanding common
               stock options and restricted stock using the treasury method.
               Convertible debentures for the twelve month period are
               anti-dilutive and are not included. On February 25, 1998, the
               Company sold $100 million of its Series A Preferred Stock. On
               June 17, 1998, the Company sold $150 million of its Series B
               Preferred Stock. The preferred stock can be converted on a
               one-for-one basis for common stock. The preferred shares are not
               assumed converted for purposes of net income per share as they
               would be anti-dilutive to that calculation. The preferred shares
               are assumed converted for purposes of FFO-diluted per share as
               they are dilutive to that calculation.

         Included in minimum rents were rents attributable to the accounting
         practice of straight lining of rents. The amount of straight lining of
         rents that impacted minimum rents was $3,814,000 for 1998, $3,599,000
         for 1997 and $1,832,000 for 1996.

     INFLATION

               In the last three years, inflation has not had a significant
     impact on the Company because of a relatively low inflation rate. Most of
     the leases at the Centers have rent adjustments periodically through the
     lease term. These rent increases are either in fixed increments or based on
     increases in the Consumer Price Index. In addition, many of the leases are
     for terms of less than ten years, which enables the Company to replace
     existing leases with new leases at higher base rents if the rents of the
     existing leases are below the then existing market rate. Additionally, most
     of the leases require the tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating
     expenses. This reduces the Company's exposure to increases in costs and
     operating expenses resulting from inflation.

     SEASONALITY

         The shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, particularly in the
     fourth quarter during the holiday season when retailer occupancy and retail
     sales are typically at their highest levels. In addition, shopping malls
     achieve a substantial portion of their specialty (temporary retailer) rents
     during the holiday season. As a result of the above, earnings are generally
     highest in the fourth quarter of each year.


     NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED:

                  In March, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
     ("FASB"), through its Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF"), concluded based
     on EITF 97-11, "Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate
     Property Acquisitions," that all internal costs to source, analyze and
     close acquisitions should be expensed as incurred. The Company has
     historically capitalized these costs in accordance with GAAP. The Company
     has adopted the FASB's interpretation effective March 19,1998, and the
     impact was approximately $0.04 per share reduction of net income and
     FFO-diluted per share for 1998.

                  In May, 1998, the FASB, through the EITF, modified the timing
     of recognition of revenue for percentage rent received from tenants in EITF
     98-9, "Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods." The
     Company applied this accounting change as of April 1, 1998. The accounting
     change had the effect of deferring $1,792,000 of percentage rent in the
     second quarter of 1998 and $972,000 of percentage rent in the third quarter
     of 1998. During the fourth quarter of 1998, the FASB reversed EITF 98-9.
     Accordingly, the Company has resumed accounting for percentage rent on the
     accrual basis. The effect of these changes was that approximately
     $2,764,000 was deferred from the second and third quarters of 1998 to the
     fourth quarter of 1998.


                                  33

<PAGE>

     NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED, CONTINUED:

                  In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for
     Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which will be effective for
     the Company's financial statements for periods beginning January 1, 2000.
     The new standard requires companies to record derivatives on the balance
     sheet, measured at fair value. Changes in the fair values of those
     derivatives will be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative
     and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge
     accounting is that the hedging relationship must be highly effective in
     achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows. The Company has
     not yet determined when it will implement SFAS 133 nor has it completed the
     complex analysis required to determine the impact on its financial
     statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

              The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk.
     The Company has managed and will continue to manage interest rate risk by
     (1) maintaining a conservative ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt to total
     debt such that variable rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level, (2)
     reducing interest rate exposure on certain long-term variable rate debt
     through the use of interest rate caps with appropriately matching
     maturities, (3) using treasury rate locks where appropriate to fix rates on
     anticipated debt transactions, and (4) taking advantage of favorable market
     conditions for long-term debt and/or equity.

              The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 1998
     concerning the Company's long term debt obligations, including principal
     cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and
     estimated fair value ("FV").

     Of the total variable rate debt maturing in 1999, $65.1 million was paid in
     full on February 4, 1999, and refinanced with a new $100 million fixed rate
     loan at an interest rate of 6.74%. The Company is currently in negotiations
     to refinance the remaining $85.0 million maturing in 1999 with fixed rate
     debt. The $137.0 million of variable debt maturing in 2001 represents the
     outstanding borrowings under the Company's credit facility. The credit
     facility matures in February 2000, with a one year option to extend the
     maturity date to February 2001. The table reflects the Company extending
     the maturity date to February 2001.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK, CONTINUED:


     In addition, the Company has assessed the market risk for its variable rate
     debt and believes that a 1% increase in interest rates would decrease
     future earnings and cash flows by approximately $3.8 million per year based
     on $379.6 million outstanding at December 31, 1998.

     The fair value of the Company's long term debt is estimated based on
     discounted cash flows at interest rates that management believes reflects
     the risks associated with long term debt of similar risk and duration.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of The Macerich Company:



We have audited the consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule of The Macerich Company (the "Company") as listed in Items 14(a)(1) and
(3) of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these statements and financial statement schedule
based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of SDG Macerich
Properties, L.P. (the "Partnership") the investment in which is reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements using the equity method of
accounting. The investment in the Partnership represents approximately 10% of
1998 consolidated total assets of the Company, and the equity in its net income
represents approximately 33% of the Company's 1998 consolidated net income.
Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished
to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the
Partnership, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

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

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position of The Macerich Company as of December 31,
1998 and 1997, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information required to be included therein.

                              THE MACERICH COMPANY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)


1.       ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

                  The Macerich Company (the "Company") commenced operations
         effective with the completion of the initial public offering (the
         "IPO") on March 16, 1994. The Company is the sole general partner of
         and holds a 78% ownership interest in The Macerich Partnership, L. P.
         (the "Operating Partnership"). The interests in the Operating
         Partnership are known as OP Units. OP Units not held by the Company are
         redeemable, subject to certain restrictions, on a one-for-one basis,
         for the Company's common stock or cash at the Company's option.

                  The Company was organized to qualify as a real estate
         investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
         amended. The 22% limited partnership interest of the Operating
         Partnership not owned by the Company is reflected in these financial
         statements as minority interest.

                  The property management, leasing and redevelopment of the
         Company's portfolio is provided by the Macerich Management Company,
         Macerich Property Management Company and Macerich Manhattan Management
         Company, all California corporations (together referred to hereafter as
         the "Management Companies"). The non-voting preferred stock of the
         Macerich Management Company and Macerich Property Management Company is
         owned by the Operating Partnership, which provides the Operating
         Partnership the right to receive 95% of the distributable cash flow
         from the Management Companies. Macerich Manhattan Management Company is
         a 100% subsidiary of Macerich Management Company.

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

                  The consolidated financial statements of the Company include
         the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The
         properties which the Operating Partnership does not own a greater than
         50% interest in, and the Management Companies, have been accounted for
         under the equity method of accounting. These entities are reflected on
         the Company's consolidated financial statements as "Investments in
         joint ventures and the Management Companies."

                  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
         been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

                  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an
         original maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash
         equivalents, for which cost approximates market. Included in cash is
         restricted cash of $5,954 at December 31, 1998 and $5,810 at December
         31, 1997.

         TENANT RECEIVABLES:

                  Included in tenant receivables are allowance for doubtful
         accounts of $1,707 and $1,303 at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
         respectively.

         REVENUES:

                  Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line
         basis over the terms of the related lease. The difference between the
         amount of rent due in a year and the amount recorded as rental income
         is referred to as the "straight lining of rent adjustment." Rental
         income was increased by $3,814 in 1998, $3,599 in 1997 and $1,832 in
         1996 due to the straight lining of rent adjustment. Percentage rents
         are recognized on an accrual basis. Recoveries from tenants for real
         estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses
         are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable costs are
         incurred.

                  The Management Companies provide property management, leasing,
         corporate, redevelopment and acquisitions services to affiliated and
         non-affiliated shopping centers. In consideration for these services,
         the Management Companies receive monthly management fees generally
         ranging from 1.5% to 5% of the gross monthly rental revenue of the
         properties managed.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

         PROPERTY:

                  Costs related to the redevelopment, construction and
         improvement of properties are capitalized. Interest costs are
         capitalized until construction is substantially complete.

                  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
         operations as incurred. Realized gains and losses are recognized upon
         disposal or retirement of the related assets and are reflected in
         earnings.


                  Property is recorded at cost and is depreciated using a
         straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as
         follows:

<TABLE>
                  <S>                             <C>
                  Buildings and improvements                         5-40 years
                  Tenant improvements             initial term of related lease
                  Equipment and furnishings                          5- 7 years

</TABLE>

                  The Company assesses whether there has been an impairment in
         the value of its long-lived assets by considering factors such as
         expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the
         effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors
         include the tenants ability to perform their duties and pay rent under
         the terms of the leases. The Company may recognize an impairment loss
         if the income stream is not sufficient to cover its investment. Such a
         loss would be determined between the carrying value and the fair value
         of a Center. Management believes no such impairment has occurred in its
         net property carrying values at December 31, 1998.

         DEFERRED CHARGES:

                  Costs relating to financing of shopping center properties and
         obtaining tenant leases are deferred and amortized over the initial
         term of the agreement. The straight-line method is used to amortize all
         costs except financing, for which the effective interest method is
         used. The range of the terms of the agreements are as follows:

<TABLE>
                  <S>                                       <C>
                  Deferred lease costs                      1 - 15 years
                  Deferred financing costs                  1 - 15 years

</TABLE>

         DEFERRED ACQUISITION LIABILITY:

                  As part of the Company's total consideration to the seller of
         Capitola Mall, the Company will issue $5,000 of OP Units five years
         after the acquisition date, which was December 21, 1995. The number of
         OP Units will be determined based on the Company's common stock price
         at that time.

         INCOME TAXES:

                  The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the
         Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A REIT is generally not
         subject to income taxation on that portion of its income that qualifies
         as REIT taxable income as long as it distributes at least 95 percent of
         its taxable income to its stockholders and complies with other
         requirements. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes
         in the consolidated financial statements.

                  On a tax basis, the distributions of $1.865 paid during 1998
         represented $1.12 of ordinary income and $0.745 of return of capital
         and the distributions of $1.78 per share during 1997 represented $0.96
         of ordinary income and $0.82 return of capital. During 1996, the
         distributions were $1.70 per share of which $1.14 was ordinary income
         and $0.56 was return of capital.

                  Each partner is taxed individually on its share of partnership
         income or loss, and accordingly, no provision for federal and state
         income tax is provided for the Operating Partnership in the
         consolidated financial statements.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

         RECLASSIFICATIONS:

                  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 and 1997
         consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1998 financial
         statement presentation.

         ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

                  In March 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
         ("FASB"), through its Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF"), concluded
         based on EITF 97-11, "Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real
         Estate Property Acquisitions," that all internal costs to source,
         analyze and close acquisitions should be expensed as incurred. The
         Company has historically capitalized these costs, in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Company has
         adopted the FASB's interpretation effective March 19, 1998, and the
         impact was an approximate $.04 per share reduction in net income
         diluted per share for 1998.

                  In May 1998, the FASB, through the EITF, modified the timing
         of recognition of revenue for percentage rent received from tenants in
         EITF 98-9, "Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial
         Periods." The Company applied this accounting change as of April 1,
         1998. The accounting change had the effect of deferring $1,792 of
         percentage rent in the second quarter of 1998 and $972 of percentage
         rent in the third quarter of 1998. During the fourth quarter of 1998,
         the FASB reversed EITF 98-9. Accordingly, the Company has resumed
         accounting for percentage rent on the accrual basis. The effect of
         these changes was that approximately $2,764 was deferred from the
         second and third quarters of 1998 to the fourth quarter of 1998.

                  In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for
         Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which will be effective
         for the Company's consolidated financial statements for periods
         beginning January 1, 2000. The new standard requires companies to
         record derivatives on the balance sheet, measured at fair value.
         Changes in the fair values of those derivatives will be accounted for
         depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for
         hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge accounting is that the
         hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting
         changes in fair value or cash flows. The Company has not yet determined
         when it will implement SFAS 133 nor has it completed the complex
         analysis required to determine the impact on its consolidated financial
         statements.

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

                  To meet the reporting requirement of SFAS No. 107,
         "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the Company
         calculates the fair value of financial instruments and includes this
         additional information in the notes to consolidated financial
         statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of
         those financial instruments. When the fair value reasonably
         approximates the carrying value, no additional disclosure is made. The
         estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using
         available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.
         However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data
         to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates
         presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the
         Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of
         different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a
         material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

                  Interest rate cap agreements are purchased by the Company from
         third parties to hedge the risk of interest rate increases on some of
         the Company's variable rate debt. The cost of these cap agreements is
         amortized over the life of the cap agreement on a straight line basis.
         Payments received as a result of the cap agreements are recorded as a
         reduction of interest expense. The unamortized costs of the cap
         agreements are included in deferred charges. The fair market value of
         these caps will vary with fluctuations in interest rates. The Company
         is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these
         counter parties to the financial instruments, however, management does
         not anticipate nonperformance by the counter parties.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, CONTINUED:


                  The Company periodically enters into treasury lock agreements
         in order to hedge its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on
         anticipated financings. Under these agreements, the Company pays or
         receives an amount equal to the difference between the treasury lock
         rate and the market rate on the date of settlement, based on the
         notional amount of the hedge. The realized gain or loss on the
         contracts is recorded on the balance sheet, in other assets, and
         amortized to interest expense over the period of the hedged loans. At
         December 31,1998, the Company had one unsettled treasury lock for a
         notional amount of $140,000. As of December 31, 1998, the treasury lock
         rate was higher than the market rate resulting in an unrealized hedge
         liability of approximately $5,935, which has been accrued at December
         31, 1998.


         EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS"):

                  During 1998, the Company implemented SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
         per share." The computation of basic earnings per share is based on net
         income and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
         the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. The computation of
         diluted earnings per share includes the effect of outstanding
         restricted stock and common stock options calculated using the Treasury
         stock method. The convertible debentures and convertible preferred
         stock were not included in the calculation as the effect of their
         inclusion would be antidilutive. The OP Units not held by the Company
         have been included in the diluted EPS calculation since they are
         redeemable on a one-for-one basis. The following table reconciles the
         basic and diluted earnings per share calculation:

                (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

         CONCENTRATION OF RISK:

                  The Company maintains its cash accounts in a number of
         commercial banks. Accounts at these banks are guaranteed by the Federal
         Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $100. At various times
         during the year, the Company had deposits in excess of the FDIC
         insurance limit.

                  Lakewood Mall generated 10.5% of total shopping center
         revenues in 1997 and 16% in 1996. Queens Center accounted for 13.8% of
         total shopping center revenues in 1996. No Center generated more than
         10% of shopping center revenues during 1998.

                  The Centers derived approximately 89.9% and 89.5% of their
         total rents for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
         respectively, from Mall and Freestanding Stores. The Limited
         represented 6.1% and 7.6% of total minimum rents in place as of
         December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and no other retailer
         represented more than 4.5% and 4.6% of total minimum rents as of
         December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

         MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES:

                  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
         GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
         the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
         contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
         statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
         reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE:

                  The Company has initiated a Year 2000 compliance program
         consisting of the following phases: (1) identification of Year 2000
         issues; (2) assessment of Year 2000 compliance of systems; (3)
         remediation or replacement of non-compliant systems; (4) testing to
         verify compliance; and (5) contingency planning, as appropriate. The
         Company is in the process of assessing, remediating and testing both
         its information technology ("IT") and non-IT systems. Because the
         Company's assessment, remediation and testing efforts are ongoing, the
         Company is unable to estimate the actual costs of achieving Year 2000
         compliance for its IT and non-IT systems. As of December 31, 1998, the
         Company has not expended significant amounts since its evaluation of
         Year 2000 issues has been primarily conducted by its own personnel. The
         Company is also surveying its material vendors, utilities and tenants
         about their plans and progress in addressing the Year 2000 issue.

3.       INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES AND THE MANAGEMENT COMPANIES:

                  The following are the Company's investments in various real
         estate joint ventures which own regional retail shopping centers. The
         Operating Partnership's interest in each joint venture as of December
         31, 1998 is as follows:

                  The Operating Partnership also owns the non-voting preferred
         stock of the Macerich Management Company and Macerich Property
         Management Company and is entitled to receive 95% of the distributable
         cash flow of these two entities. Macerich Manhattan Management Company
         is a 100% subsidiary of Macerich Management Company. The Company
         accounts for the Management Companies and joint ventures using the
         equity method of accounting.

3.       INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES AND THE MANAGEMENT COMPANIES, CONTINUED:

                  On February 27, 1998, the Company, through a 50/50 joint
         venture, SDG Macerich Properties, L.P., acquired a portfolio of twelve
         regional malls. The total purchase price was $974,500 including the
         assumption of $485,000 in debt, at market value. The Company funded its
         50% of the remaining purchase price by issuing 3,627,131 shares of
         Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock ("Series A Preferred
         Stock") for gross proceeds totaling $100,000 in a private placement.
         The Company also issued 2,879,134 shares of common stock ($79,600 of
         total proceeds) under the Company's shelf registration statement. The
         balance of the purchase price was funded from the Company's line of
         credit. Each of the joint venture partners have assumed leasing and
         management responsibilities for six of the regional malls.

                  On August 19, 1997, the Company acquired a 10% interest in the
         joint venture that acquired Manhattan Village Shopping Center
         ("Manhattan Village") in Manhattan Beach, California.

                  The results of these joint ventures are included for the
         period subsequent to their respective dates of acquisition.

                  In December 1997, North Valley Plaza, which was 50% owned by
         the Company, was sold.

                  Combined and condensed balance sheets and statements of
         operations are presented below for all unconsolidated joint ventures
         and the Management Companies, followed by information regarding the
         Operating Partnership's beneficial interest in the combined operations.
         Beneficial interest is calculated based on the Operating Partnership's
         ownership interests in the joint ventures and the Management Companies.

(a)   This note was issued at a discount. The discount is being
      amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest
      method. At December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 the unamortized
      discount was $397 and $430, respectively.

(b)   This loan is cross collateralized by Green Tree Mall, Crossroads
      Mall-Oklahoma and the Centre at Salisbury.

(c)   On August 15, 1995, the Company issued $127,000 of collateralized
      floating rate notes (the "Notes"). The Notes bear interest at an
      average fixed rate of 7.20% and mature in July 2005. The Notes
      require the Company to deposit all cash flow from the property
      operations with a trustee to meet its obligations under the Notes.
      Cash in excess of the required amount, as defined, is released.
      Included in cash and cash equivalents is $750 of restricted cash
      deposited with the trustee at December 31, 1998 and at 1997.

(d)   This represents the monthly payment of principal and interest.

6.  MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE, CONTINUED:

(e)   This amount represents the monthly payment of principal and
      interest. In addition, contingent interest, as defined in the loan
      agreement, may be due to the extent that 35% of the amount by
      which the property's gross receipts (as defined in the loan
      agreement) exceeds a base amount specified therein. Contingent
      interest expense recognized by the Company was $387 for the year
      ended December 31, 1998 and $98 for the year ended December 31,
      1997.

(f)   This loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 0.45%. There was an interest
      rate protection agreement in place on the first $10,200 of this
      debt with a LIBOR ceiling of 5.88% through maturity with the
      remaining principal having an interest rate cap with a LIBOR
      ceiling of 7.07% through 1997 and 7.7% thereafter. This loan was
      paid in full on February 4, 1999 and refinanced with a new loan
      of $100,000, with interest at 6.74%, maturing in 2009.

(g)   At December 31, 1997, this loan had an interest rate of LIBOR plus
      1%, which totaled 6.9%. In July 1998, this loan was reduced by
      $1,000 and converted into a fixed rate loan bearing interest at
      6.61% and maturing in 2008.

(h)   Included in cash and cash equivalents is $3,048 and $3,030 at
      December 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively, of cash restricted under
      the terms of this loan agreement.

(i)   This note was assumed at acquisition. At the time of acquisition
      in June 1998, this debt was recorded at fair market value and the
      premium is being amortized as interest expense over the life of
      the loan using the effective interest method. The monthly debt
      service payment is $348 per month and is calculated based on a
      12.5% interest rate. At December 31, 1998, the unamortized premium
      was $6,165. On February 17, 1999, the loan was paid in full and
      was refinanced with a new loan of $65,000, with interest at 7.49%,
      maturing in 2009.

(j)   The Company incurred a loss on early extinguishment of the old debt in 
      1998 for $2,345.

(k)   These loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%.


Certain mortgage loan agreements contain a prepayment penalty provision for 
the early extinguishment of the debt.

Total interest expense capitalized during 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $3,199, 
$2,224, and $461, respectively.

The market value of mortgage notes payable at December 31, 1998 and December 
31, 1997 is estimated to be approximately $1,271,853 and $1,013,000, 
respectively, based on current interest rates for comparable loans.

The above debt matures as follows:

7.       BANK NOTES PAYABLE:

         At December 31, 1997, the Company had $55,000 of borrowings outstanding
     under its $60,000 unsecured credit facility, which bore interest at LIBOR
     plus 1.325%. On February 26, 1998, the Company increased this credit
     facility to $150,000 with a maturity of February 2000, currently bearing
     interest at LIBOR plus 1.15%. The interest rate on such credit facility
     fluctuates between 0.95% and 1.15% over LIBOR. As of December 31, 1998,
     $137,000 of borrowings was outstanding under this line of credit at an
     interest rate of 6.79%.

         Additionally, the Company had issued $776 in letters of credit
     guaranteeing performance by the Company of certain events. The Company does
     not believe that these letters of credit will result in a liability to the
     Company.

         During January 1999, the Company entered into a bank construction loan
     agreement to fund $89,200 of costs related to the development of Pacific
     View. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and matures in February
     2001. Principal is drawn as construction costs are incurred.

8.       CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES:

         During 1997, the Company issued and sold $161,400 of convertible
     subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") due 2002. The Debentures, which
     were sold at par, bear interest at 7.25% annually (payable semi-annually)
     and are convertible at any time, on or after 60 days, from the date of
     issue at a conversion price of $31.125 per share. The Debentures mature on
     December 15, 2002 and are callable by the Company after June 15, 2002 at
     par plus accrued interest.

9.       RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

         The Company engaged the Management Companies to manage the operations
     of its properties and certain unconsolidated joint ventures. During 1998,
     1997 and 1996 management fees of $2,817, $2,219 and $1,788, respectively,
     were paid to the Management Companies by the Company.

         Certain mortgage notes are held by one of the Company's joint venture
     partners. Interest expense in connection with these notes was $10,224,
     $10,287 and $10,168 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
     respectively. Included in accounts payables and accrued expense is interest
     payable to these partners of $512, $518, $516 at December 31, 1998, 1997
     and 1996, respectively.

         Included in due to affiliates at December 31, 1997 is $14,800, which is
     a note payable to the Management Companies for the purchase of Great Falls
     Marketplace. The note was paid in full in February 1998.

         In 1997, certain executive officers, received loans from the Company
     totaling $5,500. These loans are full recourse to the executives. $5,000 of
     the loans were issued under the terms of the employee stock incentive plan,
     bear interest at 7%, are due in 2007 and are secured by Company common
     stock owned by the executives. The remaining loan is non interest bearing
     and is forgiven ratably over a five year term. These loans receivable are
     included in other assets at December 31, 1998 and 1997.

         Certain Company officers and affiliates have guaranteed mortgages of
     $21,750 at one of the Company's joint venture properties and $2,000 at
     Greeley Mall.

11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

         The Company has certain properties subject to noncancellable operating
     ground leases. The leases expire at various times through 2070, subject in
     some cases to options to extend the terms of the lease. Certain leases
     provide for contingent rent payments based on a percentage of base rental
     income, as defined. Ground rent expenses were $1,125 (including contingent
     rent of $0) in 1998, $817 (including contingent rent of $0) in 1997 and
     $704 (including contingent rents of $0) in 1996.

         Minimum future rental payments required under the leases are as
     follows:

         Perchloroethylene (PCE) has been detected in soil and groundwater in
the vicinity of a dry cleaning establishment at North Valley Plaza, formerly
owned by a joint venture of which the Company was a 50% member. The property was
sold on December 18, 1997. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control
(DTSC) advised the Company in 1995 that very low levels of Dichloroethylene (1,2
DCE), a degradation byproduct of PCE, had been detected in a municipal water
well located 1/4 mile west of the dry cleaners, and that the dry cleaning
facility may have contributed to the introduction of 1,2 DCE into the water
well. According to DTSC, the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for 1,2 DCE which
is permitted in drinking water is 6 parts per billion (ppb). The 1,2 DCE was
detected in the water well at a concentration of 1.2 ppb, which is below the
MCL. The Company has retained an environmental consultant and has initiated
extensive testing of the site. Remediation began in October 1997. The joint
venture agreed (between itself and the buyer) that it would be responsible for
continuing to pursue the investigation and remediation of impacted soil and
groundwater resulting from releases of PCE from the former dry cleaner. $153 and
$124 have already been incurred by the joint venture for remediation, and
professional and legal fees for the periods ending December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. An additional $408 remains reserved by the joint venture as of
December 31, 1998. The joint venture has been sharing costs on a 50/50 basis
with a former owner of the property and intends to look to additional
responsible parties for recovery.

11.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, CONTINUED:

         Low levels of toluene, a petroleum constituent, was detected in one of
three groundwater dewatering system holding tanks at Queens Center. Although the
Company believes that no remediation will be required, the Company established a
$150 reserve in 1996 to cover professional fees and testing costs, which was
reduced by costs incurred of $2 and $18 for the twelve months ending December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company intends to look to the responsible
parties and insurers if remediation is required.

         The Company acquired Fresno Fashion Fair in December 1996. Asbestos has
been detected in structural fireproofing throughout much of the Center. Testing
data conducted by professional environmental consulting firms indicates that the
fireproofing is largely inaccessible to building occupants and is well adhered
to the structural members. Additionally, airborne concentrations of asbestos
were well within OSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) of .1 fcc. The
accounting for this acquisition includes a reserve of $3,300 to cover future
removal of this asbestos, as necessary. The Company incurred $255 and $170 in
remediation costs for the twelve months ending December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

12.      PROFIT SHARING PLAN:

         The Management Companies and the Company have a retirement profit
     sharing plan that was established in 1984 covering substantially all of
     their eligible employees. The plan is qualified in accordance with section
     401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Effective January 1, 1995 this plan
     was modified to include a 401(k) plan whereby employees can elect to defer
     compensation subject to Internal Revenue Service withholding rules.
     Contributions by the Management Companies are made at the discretion of the
     Board of Directors and are based upon a specified percentage of employee
     compensation. The Management Companies and the Company contributed $513,
     $400, $350 to the plan in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

13.      STOCK OPTION PLAN:

         The Company has established an employee stock incentive plan under
     which stock options or restricted stock may be awarded for the purpose of
     attracting and retaining executive officers, directors and key employees.
     The Company has issued options to employees and directors to purchase
     shares of the Company under the stock incentive plan. The term of these
     options is ten years from the grant date. These options generally vest 33
     1/3% per year over three years and were issued and are exercisable at the
     market value of the common stock at the grant date.

         In addition, the Company has established a plan for non employee
     directors. The non employee director options have a term of ten years from
     the grant date, vest six months after grant and are issued at the market
     value of the common stock on the grant date. The plan reserved 25,000
     shares, all of which were granted as of December 31, 1998.


         215,215 shares of restricted stock also have been issued under the
     employees stock incentive plan to executives. These awards are granted
     based on certain performance criteria for the Company. The restricted stock
     generally vests over 5 years and the compensation expense related to these
     grants is determined by market value at vesting date and is amortized over
     the vesting period on a straight line basis. As of December 31, 1998 and
     1997, 26,039 and 8,248 shares, respectively, of restricted stock had
     vested. A total of 83,018 shares at a weighted average price of $28.71 were
     issued in 1998, 89,958 shares at a weighted average price of $27.46 were
     issued in 1997 and 41,238 shares at a weighted average price of $20.70 were
     issued during 1996 and no shares were issued or outstanding in 1995.
     Restricted stock is subject to restrictions determined by the Company's
     compensation committee. Restricted stock has the same dividend and voting
     rights as common stock and is considered issued when vested. Compensation
     expense for restricted stock was $944, $239 and $0 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
     respectively.

         Approximately 803,000 and 692,000 additional shares were reserved and
     were available for issuance under the stock incentive plan at December 31,
     1998 and 1997, respectively. The plan allows for granting options or
     restricted stock at market value.

         The weighted average exercise price for options granted in 1995 was
   $20.25, in 1996 was $21.65, in 1997 was $27.06 and in 1998 was $27.38.

         The weighted average remaining contractual life for options outstanding
     at December 31, 1998 was 5 years and the weighted average remaining
     contractual life for options exercisable at December 31, 1998 was 5 years.

         The Company records options granted using Accounting Principles Board
     (APB) opinion Number 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and
     Related Interpretations." Accordingly, no compensation expense is
     recognized on the date the options are granted. If the Company had recorded
     compensation expense using the methodology prescribed in Financial
     Accounting Standards Number 123, the Company's net income would have been
     reduced by approximately $228 or $0.00 per share for the year ended
     December 31, 1998 and $108 or $0.00 per share for the year ended December
     31, 1997.

     The weighted average fair value of options granted during 1998 and 1997
     were $2.01 and $2.51, respectively. The fair value of each option grant
     issued in 1998 and 1997 is estimated at the date of grant using the
     Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
     assumptions: (a) dividend yield of 7.8% in 1998 and 7.0% in 1997, (b)
     expected volatility of the Company's stock of 17.26% in 1998 and 14.9% in
     1997, (c) a risk free interest rate based on U.S. Zero Coupon Bonds with
     time of maturity approximately equal to the options' expected time to
     exercise and (d) expected option lives of five and seven years for options
     granted in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

compensation otherwise payable in one calendar year until a later year. The
Company may, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion,
credit a participant's account with an amount equal to a percentage of the
participant's deferral. The Company contributed $295 during 1998 and $154 during
1997 to two of these plans.

     In addition, certain executives have split dollar life insurance agreements
with the Company whereby the Company generally pays annual premiums on a life

         During 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about

     established standards for disclosure about operating segments and related
     disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major
     customers. The Company currently operates in one business segment, the
     acquisition, ownership, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional
     and community shopping centers. Additionally, the Company operates in one
     geographic area, the United States.

20.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED):

         On February 10, 1999 a dividend/distribution of $0.485 per share was
     declared for common stockholders and OP Unit holders of record on February

     Teachers' Pension Plan Board, the Company closed on the first phase of a
     two phase acquisition of a portfolio of properties. The phase one closing
     included the acquisition of three regional malls, the retail component of a
     mixed-use development, five contiguous properties and two non-contiguous
     community shopping centers comprising approximately 3.6 million square feet
     for a total purchase price of approximately $427.0 million. The purchase
     price was funded with a $120.0 million loan placed concurrently with the

     million of assumed debt. The balance of the purchase price was paid in
     cash. The Company's share of the cash component was funded with the
     proceeds from two refinancings of centers and borrowings under the
     Company's line of credit.

                               December 31, 1998

                             (Dollars in thousands)

  (1)   GENERAL

        (A)   PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION

              On December 29, 1997, affiliates of Simon Property Group, Inc.
              (Simon) and affiliates of The Macerich Company (Macerich) formed a
              limited partnership to acquire and operate a portfolio of 12
              regional shopping centers. The Partnership acquired the properties
              on February 27, 1998. The accompanying financial statements
              include the results of operations of the properties since the date
              of acquisition.

        (B)   PROPERTIES

              Simon and Macerich have divided the property management services
              with affiliates of each company managing six of the shopping
              centers. The shopping centers and their locations are as follows:

              Simon managed properties:
                  South Park Mall                    Moline, Illinois
                  Valley Mall                        Harrisonburg, Virginia
                  Granite Run Mall                   Media, Pennsylvania
                  Eastland Mall                      Evansville, Indiana
                  Lake Square Mall                   Leesburg, Florida
                  North Park Mall                    Davenport, Iowa

              Macerich managed properties:
                  Lindale Mall                       Cedar Rapids, Iowa
                  Mesa Mall                          Grand Junction, Colorado
                  South Ridge Mall                   Des Moines, Iowa
                  Empire Mall and Empire East        Sioux Falls, South Dakota
                  Rushmore Mall                      Rapid City, South Dakota
                  Southern Hills Mall                Sioux City, Iowa

              The shopping center leases generally provide for fixed annual
              minimum rent, overage rent based on sales, and reimbursement for
              certain operating expenses, including real estate taxes. For
              leases in effect at December 31, 1998, fixed minimum rents to be
              received in each of the next five years and thereafter are
              summarized as follows:

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                               December 31, 1998

                             (Dollars in thousands)


(2)     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        (A)   REVENUES

              All leases are classified as operating leases, and minimum rents
              are recognized monthly on a straight-line basis over the terms of
              the leases.

              Most retail tenants are also required to pay overage rents based
              on sales over a stated base amount during the lease year,
              generally ending on January 31. Overage rents are recognized as
              revenues based on reported and estimated sales for each tenant
              through December 31. Differences between estimated and actual
              amounts are recognized in the subsequent year.

              Tenant recoveries for real estate taxes and common area
              maintenance are adjusted annually based on the actual expenses,
              and the related revenues are recognized in the year in which the
              expenses are incurred. Charges for other operating expenses are
              billed monthly with periodic adjustments based on the estimated
              utility usage and/or a current price index, and the related
              revenues are recognized as the amounts are billed and as
              adjustments become determinable.

        (B)   CASH EQUIVALENTS

              All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of
              three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

        (C)   PROPERTIES

              Properties are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the
              straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets
              as follows:


                   Buildings and improvements      39 years
                   Equipment and furnishings       5-7 years
                   Tenant improvements             Initial term of related lease

              Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the
              useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the
              asset. All other repairs and maintenance items are expensed as
              incurred.

              The Partnership assesses whether there has been an impairment in
              the value of its properties by considering factors such as
              expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as
              the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors.
              Such factors include the tenants ability to perform their duties
              and pay rent under the terms of the leases. The Partnership would
              recognize an impairment loss if the estimated future income stream
              is not sufficient to recover its investment. Such a loss would be
              the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of a
              property. Management believes no impairment in its net property
              carrying values has occurred at December 31, 1998.

                        Notes to Financial Statements

                              December 31, 1998

                           (Dollars in thousands)

      (D)   USE OF ESTIMATES

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

      (E)   INCOME TAXES

            As a partnership, the allocated share of income or loss for the
            year is includable in the income tax returns of the partners;
            accordingly, income taxes are not reflected in the accompanying
            financial statements.

(3)   MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      In connection with the acquisition of the shopping center properties,
      the Partnership assumed $485,000 of mortgage notes payable which are
      secured by liens on the properties. The notes consist of $300,000 of
      debt which is due in May 2006 and requires monthly interest payments at
      a fixed weighted average rate of 7.41% and $185,000 of debt which is due
      in May 2003 and requires monthly interest payments at a variable
      weighted average rate (based on LIBOR) of 6.15% at December 31, 1998.
      The variable rate debt is covered by an interest cap agreement which
      effectively prevents the variable rate from exceeding 11.53%.

      The fair value assigned to the $300,000 fixed-rate debt at the
      acquisition date based on an estimated market interest rate of 6.23% was
      $322,711, and the resultant debt premium is being amortized to interest
      expense over the remaining term of the debt using a level yield method.
      At December 31, 1998, the unamortized balance of the debt premium was
      $20,868.

      The fair value of the fixed-rate debt at December 31, 1998 based on an
      interest rate of 6.70% is estimated to be approximately $312,000. The
      $185,000 carrying value of the variable-rate debt and the Partnership's
      other financial instruments are estimated to equal their fair values.

(4)   MANAGEMENT SERVICES

      An affiliate of Simon manages six of the properties and an affiliate of
      Macerich manages the other six properties, both for a fee of 4% of gross
      receipts, as defined. Management fees incurred in 1998 totaled $1,592
      for the Simon-managed properties and $1,470 for the Macerich-managed
      properties.

(5)   CONTINGENT LIABILITY

      The Partnership currently is not involved with any litigation other than
      routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the
      ordinary course of business. On the basis of consultation with counsel,
      management believes that these items will not have a material adverse
      impact on the Company's financial statements.

               (Pursuant to Sections 2-105(a)(9) and 2-208(a) of the
                         Maryland General Corporation Law)
                                          
                       -------------------------------------

          The Macerich Company, a corporation organized and existing under the
Maryland General Corporation Law (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), hereby
certifies to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland that:

          FIRST:  Pursuant to Section 2-208(a) of the Maryland General
Corporation Law and to authority granted by the charter of the Corporation (the
"Charter"), the Board of Directors of the Corporation (hereinafter called the
"Board of Directors" or the "Board") at a meeting duly called and held on
November 10, 1998 (i) reclassified 1,000,000 shares of Excess Stock, par value
$0.01 per share, as Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, with the terms
and conditions as set forth in the Charter, and (ii) designated 1,200,000 shares
of Preferred Stock as shares of Series C Preferred Stock, with the preferences,
conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of
redemption as follows, which upon any restatement of the Charter shall be made
part of Article Fifth of the Charter, with any necessary or appropriate changes
to the enumeration or lettering of sections or subsections thereof: 

                    Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock

          Section 1. DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT.  There shall be a series of
Preferred Stock designated as "Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock",
par value $0.01 per share (the "Series C Preferred Stock"), and the number of
shares constituting the Series C Preferred Stock shall be 1,200,000.  Such
number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of
Directors and by the filing of articles supplementary in accordance with the
Maryland General Corporation Law; PROVIDED, that no decrease shall reduce the
number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of
shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the
exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of
any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into Series C
Preferred Stock.

          Section 2. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.

          (A)  Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series
     of Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking prior and superior to the
     Series C Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares
     of Series C Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock,
     par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Corporation, and of
     any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if
     authorized by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the
     purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of March,
     June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to
     herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first
     Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or
     fraction of a share of Series C Preferred Stock, in an amount per share
     (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1 or (b) subject
     to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the
     aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times the
     aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or
     other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common
     Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
     reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the
     immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to
     the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any
     share or fraction of a share of Series C Preferred Stock.  In the event the
     Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common
     Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or
     combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
     reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of
     Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock,
     then in each  such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series C
     Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause
     (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount
     by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common
     Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which
     is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately
     prior to such event.

          (B)  The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the
     Series C Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section
     immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common
     Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided
     that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on
     the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment
     Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of
     $1 per share on the Series C Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable
     on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

          (C)  Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding
     shares of Series C Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date
     next preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue
     of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend
     Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue
     from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of is-


                                          2
<PAGE>

     sue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date
     for the determination of holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
     entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend
     Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to
     accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. 
     Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest.  Dividends paid on
     the shares of Series C Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total
     amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares
     shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares
     at the time outstanding.  The Board of Directors may fix a record date for
     the determination of holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock entitled
     to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which
     record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the
     payment thereof.

          Section 3. VOTING RIGHTS.  The holders of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

          (A)  Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth,
     each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to
     100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the
     Corporation.  In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay
     any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or
     effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding
     shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of
     a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of
     shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per
     share to which holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock were entitled
     immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such
     number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of
     Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator
     of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding
     immediately prior to such event.

          (B)  Except as otherwise provided herein, in the terms of any other
     series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock, the holders of shares of
     Series C Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any
     other stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote
     together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of
     the Corporation.

          (C)  Except as set forth herein, holders of Series C Preferred Stock
     shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required
     (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common
     Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action.

          Section 4. CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS.

          (A)  Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions
     payable on the Series C  Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in
     arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and
     distributions, whether or not authorized or de-


                                          3
<PAGE>

     clared, on shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been
     paid in full, neither the Board of Directors nor the Corporation shall:

               (i)   authorize, declare or pay dividends, or make any other
          distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to
          dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the
          Series C Preferred Stock;

               (ii)  authorize, declare or pay dividends, or make any other
          distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as
          to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the
          Series C Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series
          C Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are
          payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the
          holders of all such shares are then entitled;

               (iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
          shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon
          liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series C Preferred
          Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase
          or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for
          shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to
          dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the
          Series C Preferred Stock; or

               (iv)  redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
          any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking
          on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock, except in accordance
          with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined
          by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such
          terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective
          annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the
          respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will
          result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or
          classes.

          (B)  The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the
     Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares
     of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph
     (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such
     time and in such manner.

          Section 5. REACQUIRED SHARES.  Any shares of Series C Preferred Stock
purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever
shall become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be
reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions
and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Charter, or in any other
articles supplementary creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock
or as otherwise required by law.

          Section 6. LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP.  Upon any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall
be made (1) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding 


                                          4

up) to the Series C Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares
of Series C Preferred Stock shall have received $100 per share, plus an amount
equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not
authorized or declared, to the date of such payment, provided that the holders
of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an aggregate
amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth,
equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders
of shares of Common Stock, or (2) to the holders of shares of stock ranking on a
parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up)
with the Series C Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the
Series C Preferred Stock and all such parity stock in proportion to the total
amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up.  In the event the Corporation shall at
any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of
Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by
payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number
of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which
holders of shares of Series C  Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior
to such event under the proviso in clause (1) of the preceding sentence shall be
adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and
the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immedately prior to such event.

          Section 7. CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.  In case the Corporation shall
enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which
the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or
securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case each share of
Series C Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or
changed into an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment
hereinafter set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock,
securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may
be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. 
In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on
the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or
combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each
such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the
exchange or change of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by
multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the
denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

          Section 8. NO REDEMPTION.  The shares of Series C Preferred Stock
shall not be redeemable.

          Section 9. RANK.  The Series C Preferred Stock shall rank, with
respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, junior to
all series of the Corporation's Preferred Stock.

          Section 10.    AMENDMENT.  The Charter shall not be amended in any
manner which would materially alter or change the preferences, conversion and
other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other
distributions, qualifications or terms and conditions of redemption of the
Series C Preferred Stock, as set forth herein, so as to affect them adversely
without the affirmative vote  of the holders of at least two-thirds of the
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single
class.

          Section 11.    OWNERSHIP RESTRICTIONS.  The Series C Preferred Stock
shall be subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in Article Eighth
of the Charter.

          SECOND:  The Shares have been classified and designated by the Board
of Directors under the authority contained in the Charter.

          THIRD:  These Articles Supplementary have been approved by the Board
of Directors in the manner and by the vote required by law.
          
          FOURTH:  The undersigned Chairman of the Board of the Corporation
acknowledges these Articles Supplementary to be the corporate act of the
Corporation and, as to all matters or facts required to be verified under oath,

   The securities represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions 
on ownership and transfer for the purpose of the Corporation's maintenance of 
its status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code 
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Except as otherwise provided pursuant to 
the charter of the Corporation, no Person may (1) Beneficially Own shares of 
Equity Stock in excess of 5.0% (or such greater percentage as may be provided 
in the charter of the Corporation) of the number or value of the outstanding 
Equity Stock of the Corporation (unless such Person is an Excluded 
Participant), or (2) Beneficially Own Equity Stock that would result in the 
Corporation being "closely held" under Section 856(h) of the Code (determined 
without regard to Code Section 856(h)(2) and by deleting the words "the last 
half of" in the first sentence of Code Section 542(a)(2) in applying Code 
Section 856(h)), or (3) beneficially own Equity Stock that would result in 
Common Stock and Preferred Stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 
Persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution). Any 
Person who attempts to Beneficially Own Shares of Equity Stock in excess of 
the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation. All 
capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the 
Corporation's charter, as the same may be further amended from time to time, 
a copy of which, including the restrictions on ownership or transfer, will be 
sent without charge to each stockholder who so requests. Transfers or other 
events in violation of the restrictions described above shall be null and 
void AB INITIO, and the purported transferee or purported owner shall acquire 
or retain no rights to, or economic interest in, any Equity Stock held in 
violation of these restrictions. The Corporation may redeem such shares upon 
the terms and conditions specified by the Board of Directors in its sole 
discretion if the Board of Directors determines that a Transfer or other 
event would violate the restrictions described above. In addition, if the 
restrictions on ownership or transfer are violated, the shares of Equity 
Stock represented hereby shall be automatically exchanged for shares of 
Excess Stock which will be held in trust for the benefit of a Beneficiary. 
Excess stock may not be transferred at a profit. The Corporation has an 
option to acquire Excess Stock under certain circumstances.

          THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT (the "AMENDMENT") TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MARCH 16, 1994, AMENDED AS OF AUGUST
14, 1995, FURTHER AMENDED AS OF JUNE 27, 1997, FURTHER AMENDED AS OF NOVEMBER

FEBRUARY 26, 1998 (the "AGREEMENT") OF THE MACERICH PARTNERSHIP, L.P. (the
"PARTNERSHIP") is dated effective as of June 17, 1998.  

                                      RECITALS

          WHEREAS, The Macerich Company, the general partner of the Partnership
(the "GENERAL PARTNER"), will be issuing to The Ontario Teachers Pension Plan
Board ("Ontario Teachers"), 5,487,471 shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Redeemable Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share ("SERIES B PREFERRED
SHARES"), pursuant to the Series B Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement dated
as of June 16, 1998 between the General Partner and Ontario Teachers (the
"Purchase Agreement");

          WHEREAS, SECTION 3.3 (a)(i)  of the Agreement authorizes the General
Partner to cause the Partnership to issue additional interests in the
Partnership in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such
classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights, powers and duties, including rights, powers
and duties senior to those of the Limited Partners, all as shall be determined
by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion and without the
approval of any of the Limited Partners; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such
additional interests in the Partnership must be issued in connection with an
issuance of shares of or other interests in the General Partner, which shares or
interests have designations, preferences and other rights, all such that the
economic interests are substantially similar to the designations, preferences
and other rights of the additional interests in the Partnership being issued to
the General Partner by the Partnership in accordance with SECTION 3.3. OF THE
AGREEMENT, and the General Partner shall make a capital contribution to the
Partnership in an amount equal to the proceeds raised in connection with the
issuance of such shares of or other interests in the General Partner;

          WHEREAS, SECTION 12.1(b)(iii) of the Agreement provides that the
General Partner has the power, without the consent of the Limited Partners of
the Partnership, to amend the Agreement as may be required to facilitate or
implement setting forth the designations, rights, powers, duties, and
preferences of the holders of any additional interests in the Partnership issued
pursuant to SECTION 3.3;

          WHEREAS, the General Partner has made the determination pursuant to
SECTION 12.1(b)(iii) of the Agreement that consent of the Limited Partners of
the Partnership is not required with respect to the matters set forth in this
Amendment; and

<PAGE>

          WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Amendment a valid agreement
of the Partnership have been done;

          NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority granted to the General
Partner under the Agreement, the Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

1.   Amendments:

          (a)  Section 2.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the
following new Section 2.2(d) to read as follows:

               (d)  SERIES B PREFERRED UNITS.  The General Partner hereby makes
     a capital contribution to the Partnership in the amount of the gross
     proceeds from the sale of the Series B Preferred Shares to Ontario Teachers
     pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which amount is $150,000,019.70.  In
     exchange for such capital contribution, the Partnership hereby issues to
     the General Partner 5,487,471 Series B Preferred Units, each Series B
     Preferred Unit representing a capital contribution of $27.335.  Series B
     Preferred Units shall entitle the General Partner to a Series B Preferred
     Return, all as described in SECTION 4.1 of the Agreement.  Series B
     Preferred Units shall be converted into Common Units at the time the Series
     B Preferred Shares are converted into common shares of the General Partner
     in an amount of Common Units equal to the total amount of such converted
     common shares divided by the Conversion Factor.  To the extent that Series
     B Preferred Shares are being redeemed, the General Partner shall be
     obligated to put to the Partnership a number of Series B Preferred Units
     equal to the number of Series B Preferred Shares being redeemed or repaid. 
     Upon putting a Series B Preferred Unit to the Partnership, the General
     Partner will be paid, in liquidation of each Series B Preferred Unit being
     put to the Partnership, an amount equal to $27.335 plus any accumulated,
     accrued and unpaid Series B Preferred Return on such Series B Preferred
     Unit, PLUS any other amounts owed or to be paid by the General Partner in
     connection with the redemption of the corresponding Series B Preferred
     Share; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the General Partner shall not put the Series
     B Preferred Units to the Partnership if the payment in liquidation of those
     Series B Preferred Units would cause the Partnership or the General Partner
     to be in violation of (i) any provision of any agreement with respect to
     indebtedness, including the Credit and Guaranty Agreement and those
     agreements with respect to the Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the
     "Debt Instruments"), or (ii) Section 17-607 of the Act.  Before any Series
     B Preferred Units may be put to the Partnership, the General Partner shall
     determine in good faith that the redemption of such Series B Preferred
     Units will not cause a violation of the Debt Instruments or Section 17-607
     of the Act.  To the extent the General Partner is not permitted to make a
     payment in respect of the Series B Preferred Shares by reason of a
     restriction imposed by the Debt Instruments or Section 17-607 of the Act,
     the Partnership shall not, and shall not be obligated to, make any such
     payment to the General Partner with respect to the corresponding Series B
     Preferred Units.
     (b)  Section 4.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

               4.1  DISTRIBUTION OF NET CASH FLOW.  The General Partner shall
     cause the Partnership to distribute all or a portion of Net Cash Flow to
     the Partners from time to 


                                          2
<PAGE>

     time as determined by the General Partner, but in any event not less
     frequently than quarterly, in such amounts as the General Partner shall
     determine.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall use
     its reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient
     amounts to enable the General Partner to pay shareholder dividends that
     will (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code
     and Regulations ("REIT REQUIREMENTS"), and (b) avoid any federal income or
     excise tax liability of the General Partner.  All amounts withheld pursuant
     to the Code or a provision of any state or local tax law with respect to
     any allocation, payment or distribution to the General Partner or any
     Limited Partner shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Partner. 
     Upon the receipt by the General Partner of each Exercise Notice pursuant to
     which one or more Redemption Partners exercise Redemption Rights in
     accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE IX and the Redemption Rights
     Exhibit, the General Partner shall, unless the General Partner has elected
     to issue only Shares to such Redemption Partners in respect of the Purchase
     Price of the Offered Interests, cause the Partnership to distribute to the
     Partners, PRO RATA in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests
     as of the date of delivery of such Exercise Notice, all (or such lesser
     portion as the General Partner shall reasonably determine to be prudent
     under the circumstances) of Net Cash Flow, which distribution shall be made
     prior to the closing of the redemption or purchase and sale of the Offered
     Interests specified in such Exercise Notice.  Subject to any restrictions
     or limitations imposed by the Debt Instruments or Section 17-607 of the
     Act, distributions shall be made in accordance with the following order of
     priority:
               (a)  First, semi-annual distributions to the General Partner with
     respect to the Preferred Units in an amount equal to the cumulative and
     unpaid Preferred Return on such Preferred Units in such a way as to allow
     the General Partner to pay interest and any additional amounts on the
     Convertible Subordinated Debentures payable to the holders thereof;

               (b)  Second, to the General Partner, with respect to the Series A
     Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units, in an amount equal to the
     cumulative and unpaid Series A Preferred Return on such Series A Preferred
     Units, and the cumulative and unpaid Series B Preferred Return on such
     Series B Preferred Units in such a way as to allow the General Partner to
     pay cumulative preferential dividends and any additional amounts required
     on the Series A Preferred Shares and the Series B Preferred Shares,
     respectively, payable to the holders thereof; and

               (c)  Next, to the Partners holding Common Units, PRO RATA in
     accordance with such Partners' then Percentage Interests.

          (c)  The definition of the term "Partnership Interest" contained in
the Glossary of Defined Terms of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as
follows:

               "PARTNERSHIP INTEREST" shall mean an ownership interest of a
     Partner in the Partnership from time to time, including, as applicable,
     such Partner's Preferred Units, Series A Preferred Units, Series B
     Preferred Units and Percentage Interest and such Partner's Capital Account,
     and any and all other benefits to which the holder of such Partnership
     Interest may be entitled as provided in this Agreement, together with all
     obligations of such Person to comply with the terms of this Agreement.


                                          3
<PAGE>

          (d)  The definition of the term "Partnership Unit" contained in the
Glossary of Defined Terms of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

               "PARTNERSHIP UNIT" shall mean a Common Unit, Preferred Unit,
     Series A Preferred Unit or Series B Preferred Unit and shall constitute a
     fractional, undivided share of the Partnership Interests corresponding to
     that particular class of Units.  
          (e)  The definition of the term "Common Unit" contained in the
Glossary of Defined Terms of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

     "COMMON UNIT" shall mean Partnership Interests other than Preferred Units, 
     Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units.

          (f)  The Glossary of Defined Terms of the Agreement is hereby amended
to include the following definitions:

               "SERIES B PREFERRED RETURN" shall mean an amount per Series B
     Preferred Unit equal to the greater of (i) an annual distribution of $1.84
     or (ii) the regular cash distributions on the Common Units, or portion
     thereof, into which a Series B Preferred Unit is convertible.  The Series B
     Preferred Return will be based on the General Partner's Capital
     Contribution in respect of the Series B Preferred Units for which the
     Series B Preferred Return is being determined as provided in the definition
     of Series B Preferred Units below (taking into account any reduction of
     such Capital Contribution by any redemptions or conversions of such Series
     B Preferred Units), commencing on the first date such Series B Preferred
     Units are issued to the General Partner.  It is intended that the Series B
     Preferred Return will be equal to the dividends and any additional amounts
     payable on the Series B Preferred Shares to the holders thereof so that the
     General Partner will receive a Series B Preferred Return in an amount
     sufficient for the General Partner to make all payments in respect of the
     Series B Preferred Shares.

     "SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES" shall mean those shares of Series B Cumulative
     Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share; issued by
     the General Partner to Ontario Teachers.

     "SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES ARTICLES SUPPLEMENTARY" shall mean the Series B
     Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock Articles Supplementary,
     dated as of June 15, 1998, which fixes the distribution and other
     preferences and rights of the Series B Preferred Shares.

     "SERIES B PREFERRED UNITS" shall mean the Partnership Units of the General
     Partner representing the Capital Contribution of the Series B Preferred
     Share proceeds, as set forth in SECTION 2.2(d) of the Agreement.  For the
     purposes of this Agreement, if the proceeds actually received by the
     General Partner are less than the gross proceeds of the issuance of the
     Series B Preferred Shares as a result of any discount, placement fee or
     other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such issuance, then the
     General Partner shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the
     Partnership in the amount of the gross proceeds of such issuance and the
     Partnership shall be deemed simultaneously to have reimbursed the General
     Partner pursuant to SECTION 6.1 for the amount of such discount, placement
     fee or other expenses.

     cumulative Preferred Return on the Preferred Units;

               (d)  Fourth, to the General Partner in respect of the Series A
     Preferred Units and the Series B Preferred Units until the cumulative
     amount of Net Income allocated pursuant to this subparagraph 2.1(d) equals
     the cumulative Series A Preferred Return on the Series A Preferred Units,
     and the cumulative Series B Preferred Return on the Series B Preferred
     Units, respectively; and

               (e)  Thereafter, the balance of the Net Income, if any, shall be
     allocated to the Partners holding Common Units in accordance with their
     respective Percentage Interests.

and who has delivered to the Company an election agreement electing to 
participate in the Program.

     2.6.  PLAN means The Macerich Company Amended and Restated 1994 Incentive 
Plan.

Stock Program under the Amended and Restated 1994 Incentive Plan.

Participant pursuant to Article IV of the Plan.

     2.9.  RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD means an award of Restricted Stock granted

                                 ARTICLE III
                                PARTICIPATION

     Each Eligible Person designated by the Committee for any Year may elect 
in advance to receive all or part (in increments and on forms authorized by 
the Committee) of any Cash Bonus that may be granted in the future in the 
form of Restricted Stock to the extent provided in Article IV.

                                  ARTICLE IV
                      RESTRICTED STOCK OR CASH ELECTIONS

     4.1.  TIME AND TYPES OF ELECTIONS

     On or before December 31, 1998 and September 30 of each subsequent Year, 
each Eligible Person may make an irrevocable election to receive a percentage 
of Cash Bonus that may be granted to the Participant during the following 
Year in shares of Restricted Stock.  This election shall become effective 
only if the Committee, in authorizing the Cash Bonus, expressly recognizes 
such alternative payment opportunity in Restricted Stock and grants the 
Restricted Stock at that time.  A person who first becomes an Eligible Person 
after the applicable deadline may, within 30 days of becoming and being 
designated as an Eligible Person, make an irrevocable election to receive any 
Cash Bonuses granted during the applicable Year (or remaining portion 
thereof, as the case may be) in Restricted Stock.

                                       2
<PAGE>


     4.2.  ELECTION PROCEDURES

     The elections shall be made in writing on forms provided by the Company 
and authorized by the Committee.  These forms initially shall take the form 
of the Election Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.  Neither the 
distribution nor completion of election agreements shall convey any right to 
receive a bonus, in cash or in Restricted Stock.  Failure to timely elect 
Restricted Stock, however, will result in the payment in cash if any cash 
bonus is awarded.

     4.3   NUMBER OF SHARES

     The number of shares of Restricted Stock to be granted under this 
Program shall equal a multiple of the Conversion Amount divided by the Fair 
Market Value of a share of Common Stock (without regard to any restriction) 
on the applicable Bonus Payment Date.  The multiple shall not be changed as 
to any election after it is duly made under the terms of this Program without 
the consent of the Participant. 

     The multiple for bonuses paid in 1999 and until changed by the Committee 
shall be 1.5.  For example, assume that prior to December 31, 1998 a 
Participant elects to receive 40% of any cash bonus in Restricted Stock and, 
on March 1, 1999, the Company grants him a $40,000 cash bonus.  The market 
value of a share of Common Stock on the Bonus Payment Date is $20.  The 
Participant will receive $24,000 in cash and 1,200 shares of Restricted Stock.

     4.4.  NO FRACTIONAL SHARE INTERESTS

     If an election would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the 
amount of Restricted Stock granted shall be rounded down to the next whole 
share and the cash alternative amount in lieu of the fractional interest 
shall be paid in cash.

                                   ARTICLE V
                            RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

     The grant of Restricted Stock Awards, including, but not limited to, the 
terms of grant, conditions and restrictions, the consideration to be paid, 
dividend rights, vesting, redelivery to the Company, and adjustments in case 
of changes in the Common Stock, shall be governed by the terms of the Plan, 
the Program and of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, substantially in the 
form of Exhibit B (as from time to time revised by the Committee), to be 
executed and delivered by the Company and the Participant.  After an election 
is made, the form of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement may not be changed 
in any manner materially adverse to the Participant without his or her 
consent.  All Restricted Stock Awards are subject to express prior 
authorization by the Committee of the terms of the Restricted Stock Award and 
the specific number of shares of Restricted Stock thereunder.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                 ADMINISTRATION

     This Program shall be administered by and all Restricted Stock Awards to 
Eligible Persons shall be authorized by the Committee.  The Committee shall 
have all powers necessary to accomplish those purposes, including, but not by 
way of limitation, the following:

     (a) to determine the particular Eligible Persons who will receive Cash 
Bonuses, the extent to which and price at which a Cash Bonus may be settled 
in shares of Common Stock or Restricted Stock, and the other specific terms 
and conditions of Restricted Stock Awards consistent with the express limits 
of this Program and the Plan;

     (b) to approve from time to time the election agreement and other forms 
of Restricted Stock Award Agreements (which need not be identical either as 
to type of award or among Participants or from year to year); and

     (c) to resolve any questions concerning benefits payable to a 
Participant and make all other determinations and take such other action as 
contemplated by this Program or the Plan or as may be necessary or advisable 
for the administration or interpretation of this Program.

                                 ARTICLE VII
                                MISCELLANEOUS

     7.1.  INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

     Except where in conflict with the express terms of this Program, the

including, without limitation, the following:  the administrative powers and 
authority of the Committee and the effect of its decisions; the unfunded 
status of benefits; provisions for non-transferability of rights; rights (or 
absence of rights) of eligible persons, participants, and beneficiaries; 
compliance with laws; tax withholding obligation of Participants; privileges 
of stock ownership; and governing law/construction/severability.

     7.2.  AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION 

     The Committee or the Board may, at any time, terminate or, from time to 
time, amend, modify or suspend this Program, in whole or in part.  No 
Restricted Stock Awards may be granted under this Program during any 
suspension of this Program or after termination of this Program.  Termination 
or amendment of this Program shall have no effect on any then outstanding 
Restricted Stock Awards.

     7.3.  TERM OF THIS PROGRAM

     The term of this Program is indefinite, subject to the term of the Plan 
and Section 7.2.  All authority of the Committee with respect to Restricted 
Stock Awards hereunder, including its authority to amend a Restricted Stock 
Award, shall continue during any suspension of this Program or the Plan, in 
respect of outstanding Restricted Stock Awards on such Termination Date.

<PAGE>


     7.4.  NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF PROGRAM

     Nothing in this Program shall limit or be deemed to limit the authority 
of the Board or the Committee to grant awards or authorize any other 
compensation, with or without reference to the Common Stock, under the Plan 
or any other plan or authority.

     7.5   RELATIONSHIP TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

     In the case of any Participant who has an employment agreement with the 
Company, the Conversion Amount reflected by a Restricted Stock Award shall 
not be, but any remaining cash amount paid as a Cash Bonus shall be, 
considered a bonus paid in the applicable Year in which it is paid.  The 
consequences of a termination of service, whether before or after a Change in 
Control, in respect of any benefits related to the Conversion Amount shall be 
governed solely by the terms of the Restricted Stock Award.

amount in either case is not less than the minimum lawful consideration under 
Maryland law.

     3.  VESTING.  The Award shall vest, and restrictions (other than those 
set forth in Section 6.4 of the Plan) shall lapse, with respect to the 
portion of the total number of shares (subject to adjustment under Section 
6.2 of the Plan) on each of the anniversaries of the Award Date until the 
Award is fully vested, as reflected in the Vesting Schedule above, subject to 
earlier termination or acceleration as provided herein or in the Plan.

     4.  DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS. After the Award Date, the Employee shall 
be entitled to cash dividends and voting rights with respect to the shares of 
Restricted Stock subject to the Award even though such shares are not vested, 
provided that such rights shall terminate immediately as to any shares of 
Restricted Stock that cease to be eligible for vesting.

     5.  RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.  Prior to the time they become vested, 
neither the shares of Restricted Stock comprising the Award, nor any other 
rights of the Employee under this Agreement or the Plan may be transferred, 
except as expressly provided in Sections 1.9 and 4.1 of the Plan.  No other 
exceptions have been authorized by the Committee. 

     6.  STOCK CERTIFICATES.

         (a) BOOK ENTRY FORM; INFORMATION STATEMENT POWER OF ATTORNEY.  The 
Corporation shall issue the shares of Restricted Stock subject to the Award 
in book entry form, registered in the name of the Employee with notations 
regarding applicable restrictions on transfer.  Concurrent with the execution 
and delivery of this Agreement, the Corporation shall deliver to the Employee 
a written information statement with respect to such shares, and the Employee 
shall deliver to the Corporation an executed stock power, in blank, with 
respect to such shares.  The Employee, by acceptance of the Award, shall be 
deemed to appoint the Corporation and each of its authorized representatives 
as the Employee's attorney(s)-in-fact to effect any transfer of unvested 
forfeited shares (or shares otherwise reacquired by the Corporation 
hereunder) to the Corporation as may be required pursuant to the Plan or this 
Agreement and to execute such documents as the Corporation or such 
representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such 
transfer.

         (b) CERTIFICATES TO BE HELD BY CORPORATION; LEGEND.  Any 
certificates representing Restricted Stock that the Employee may be entitled 
to receive from the Corporation prior to vesting shall be redelivered to the 
Corporation to be held by the Corporation until the restrictions on such 
shares shall have lapsed and the shares shall thereby have become vested or 
the shares represented thereby have been forfeited hereunder.  Such 
certificates shall bear the following legend: 

    "The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented
    hereby are subject to the terms and conditions contained in an Agreement 
    entered into between the registered owner, The Macerich Partnership L.P. and
    The Macerich Company.  A copy of 

                                      2
<PAGE>


    such Agreement is on file in the office of the Secretary of The Macerich 
    Company, 401 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 700, Santa Monica, California 
    90401."

         (c) DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES UPON VESTING.  Promptly after the lapse 
or other release of restrictions, a certificate or certificates evidencing 
the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the restrictions have lapsed 
or been released or such lesser number as may be permitted pursuant to 
Section 6.5 of the Plan shall be delivered to the Employee or other person 
entitled under the Plan to receive the shares.  The Employee or such other 
person shall deliver to the Corporation any representations or other 
documents or assurances required pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Plan.  The 
shares so delivered shall no longer be restricted shares hereunder. 

     7.  EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

         (a) FORFEITURE AFTER CERTAIN EVENTS.  Except as provided in Sections 
7(c) and 8 hereof, the Employee's shares of Restricted Stock shall be 
forfeited to the extent such shares have not become vested upon the date the 
Employee is no longer employed by the Company for any reason, whether with or 
without cause, voluntarily or involuntarily.  If an entity ceases to be a 
Subsidiary, such action shall be deemed to be a termination of employment of 
all employees of that entity, but the Committee, in its sole and absolute 
discretion, may make provision in such circumstances for accelerated vesting 
of some or all of the remaining restricted shares under any Awards held by 
such employees, effective immediately prior to such event.

         (b) RETURN OF SHARES.  Upon the occurrence of any forfeiture of 
shares of Restricted Stock hereunder, such unvested, forfeited shares shall, 
without payment of any consideration by the Corporation for such transfer, be 
automatically transferred to the Corporation, without any other action by the 
Employee, or the Employee's Beneficiary or Personal Representative, as the 
case may be.  The Corporation may exercise its powers under Section 6(a) 
hereof and take any other action necessary or advisable to evidence such 
transfer.  The Employee, or the Employee's Beneficiary or Personal 
Representative, as the case may be, and the Operating Partnership shall 
deliver any additional documents of transfer that the Corporation may request 
to confirm the transfer of such unvested, forfeited shares to the Corporation.

         (c) TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE FOLLOWING CHANGE IN CONTROL EVENT.  If 
the Employee's employment is terminated by the Company other than because of 
Employee's death or Disability or for Cause, or if the Employee after a 
Change in Control Event terminates his or her employment for Good Reason, 
then any portion of the Award that has not previously vested shall thereupon 
vest, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.4 and 6.5 of the Plan and 
Section 11 hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall restrictions on 
the shares lapse or the shares vest earlier than six months after the date 
hereof.  As used in this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean (1) a "permanent 
and total disability" within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, (2) 
the absence of Employee from his or her duties with the Company on a 
full-time basis for a period of nine months as a result of incapacity due to 
mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a 
physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the 
Employee or the Employee's legal representative (such agreement as to 
acceptability not to be withheld unreasonably), or (3) such other  
disabilities, infirmities, 

                                      3
<PAGE>


afflictions or conditions as the Committee by rule may include.  "Incapacity" 
as used in this Agreement shall be limited only to a condition that 
substantially prevents the Employee from performing his or her duties.  
"Cause" as used in this Agreement shall mean that the Company, acting in good 
faith based upon the information then known to the Company, determines that 
the Employee has:  (1) failed to perform required job duties in a material 
respect without proper cause, (2) been convicted of a felony, or (3) 
committed an act of fraud, dishonesty or gross misconduct which is injurious 
to the Company.  "Good Reason" as used in this Agreement shall mean (1) a 
materially adverse and significant change in the Employee's position, duties, 
responsibilities, or status with the Company, (2) a change in the Employee's 
office location to a point more than 50 miles from the Employee's office 
immediately prior to a Change in Control, (3) the taking of any action 
following a Change in Control by the Company to eliminate benefit plans 
without providing reasonable substitutes therefor, to materially reduce 
benefits thereunder or to substantially diminish the aggregate value of 
incentive awards or other fringe benefits, (4) any reduction in the 
Employee's base salary, or (5) any material breach by the Company of the 
written employment contract with Employee, if any.

     8.  EFFECT OF DISABILITY, DEATH OR RETIREMENT.  If the Employee incurs a 
Disability or dies while employed by the Company, then any portion of his or 
her Award that has not previously vested shall thereupon vest, subject to the 
provisions of Sections 6.4 and 6.5 of the Plan.  If the Employee retires from 
employment by the Company, the Committee may, on a case-by-case basis and in 
its sole discretion, provide for partial or complete vesting prior to 
retirement of that portion of his or her Award that has not previously vested.

     9.  ADJUSTMENTS UPON SPECIFIED EVENTS.  Upon the occurrence of certain 
events relating to the Corporation's stock contemplated by Section 6.2 of the 
Plan, the Committee shall make adjustments if appropriate in the number and 
kind of securities that may become vested under an Award.  If any adjustment 
shall be made under Section 6.2 of the Plan or a Change in Control Event 
shall occur and the shares of Restricted Stock are not fully vested upon such 
Event or prior thereto, the restrictions applicable to such shares of 
Restricted Stock shall continue in effect with respect to any consideration 
or other securities (the "RESTRICTED PROPERTY" and, for the purposes of this 
Agreement, "Restricted Stock" shall include "Restricted Property", unless the 
content otherwise requires) received in respect of such Restricted Stock.  
Such Restricted Property shall vest at such times and in such proportion as 
the shares of Restricted Stock to which the Restricted Property is 
attributable vest, or would have vested pursuant to the terms hereof if such 
shares of Restricted Stock had remained outstanding.  Notwithstanding the 
foregoing, to the extent that the Restricted Property includes any cash, the 
commitment hereunder shall become an unsecured promise to pay an amount equal 
to such cash (with earnings attributable thereto as if such amount had been 
invested, pursuant to policies established by the Committee, in interest 
bearing, FDIC-insured (subject to applicable insurance limits) deposits of a 
depository institution selected by the Committee) at such times and in such 
proportions as the Restricted Stock would have vested.

     10. POSSIBLE EARLY TERMINATION OF AWARD.  As permitted by Section 6.2(b) 
of the Plan, the Committee retains the right to terminate the Award to the 
extent not vested upon an event or transaction which the Corporation does not 
survive.  This Section 10 is not intended to prevent vesting of the Award as 
a result of termination without Cause following a Change in Control Event as 
provided in Section 7(c) hereof.

                                      4
<PAGE>


     11. LIMITATIONS ON ACCELERATION AND REDUCTION IN BENEFITS IN EVENT OF 
         TAX LIMITATIONS.

     (a) LIMITATION ON ACCELERATION.  Notwithstanding anything contained 
herein or in the Plan or any other agreement to the contrary, in no event 
shall the vesting of any share of Restricted Stock be accelerated pursuant to 
Section 6.3 of the Plan or Section 7(c) hereof to the extent that the Company 
would be denied a federal income tax deduction for such vesting because of 
Section 280G of the Code and, in such circumstances, the restricted shares 
not subject to acceleration will continue to vest in accordance with and 
subject to the other provisions hereof.

     (b) REDUCTION IN BENEFITS.  If the Employee would be entitled to 
benefits, payments or coverage hereunder and under any other plan, program or 
agreement which would constitute "parachute payments," then notwithstanding 
any other provision hereof or of any other existing agreement to the 
contrary, the Employee Participant may by written notice to the Secretary of 
the Corporation designate the order in which such "parachute payments" shall 
be reduced or modified so that the Company is not denied federal income tax 
deductions for any "parachute payments" because of Section 280G of the Code.

     (c) DETERMINATION OF LIMITATIONS.  The term "parachute payments" shall 
have the meaning set forth in and be determined in accordance with Section 
280G of the Code and regulations issued thereunder.  All determinations 
required by this Section 11, including without limitation the determination 
of whether any benefit, payment or coverage would constitute a parachute 
payment, the calculation of the value of any parachute payment and the 
determination of the extent to which any parachute payment would be 
nondeductible for federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the 
Code, shall be made by an independent accounting firm (other than the 
Corporation's outside auditing firm) having nationally recognized expertise 
in such matters selected by the Committee.  Any such determination by such 
accounting firm shall be binding on the Corporation, its Subsidiaries and the 
Employee.

     12. TAX WITHHOLDING.  The entity within the Company last employing the 
Employee shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the 
Employee and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Employee any 
sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect 
to the vesting of any Restricted Stock, but, in the alternative the Employee 
or other person in whom the Restricted Stock vests may irrevocably elect, in 
such manner and at such time or times prior to any applicable tax date as may 
be permitted or required under Section 6.5 of the Plan and rules established 
by the Committee, to have the entity last employing the Employee withhold and 
reacquire shares of Restricted Stock at their Fair Market Value at the time 
of vesting to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company with respect 
to such vesting.  Any election to have shares so held back and reacquired 
shall be subject to such rules and procedures, which may include prior 
approval of the Committee, as the Committee may impose, and shall not be 
available if the Employee makes or has made an election pursuant to Section 
83(b) of the Code with respect to such Award.

     13. NOTICES.  Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement 
shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office 
located at 401 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 700, Santa Monica, California 90401, 
to the attention of the Corporate 

                                      5
<PAGE>

Secretary and to the Employee at the address given beneath the Employee's 
signature hereto, or at such other address as either party may hereafter 
designate in writing to the other.

     14. PLAN.  The Award and all rights of the Employee with respect thereto 
are subject to, and the Employee agrees to be bound by, all of the terms and 
conditions of the provisions of the Plan, incorporated herein by reference, 
to the extent such provisions are applicable to Awards granted to Eligible 
Employees.  The Employee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, which is 
made a part hereof by this reference, and agrees to be bound by the terms 
thereof.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in other Sections of this 
Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the 
Committee do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the 
Employee unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise 
in the sole discretion of the Committee so conferred by appropriate action of 
the Committee under the Plan after the date hereof.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the 
date first above written.  By the Employee's execution of this Agreement, the 
Employee agrees to the terms and conditions hereof and of the Plan.

the Company or any such Person shall so include securities, Selling Expenses
shall include a pro rata portion of such travel and other expenses).

          Section 2. DEMAND REGISTRATION.

          (a)  Upon receipt of a written request (a "REGISTRATION REQUEST")
delivered not earlier than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of this
Agreement from Holders holding at least 50% of the aggregate of the number of
Registrable Shares then outstanding, the Company shall (i) promptly give notice
of the Registration Request to all non-requesting Holders and (ii) prepare and
file with the Commission, within 45 days after its receipt of such Registration
Request a registration statement for the purpose of effecting a Registration of
the sale of all Registrable Shares by the requesting Holders and any other
Holder who requests to have his Registrable Shares included in such registration
statement within 10 days after receipt of notice by such Holder of the
Registration Request.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
effect such Registration as soon as practicable but not later than 120 days
after its receipt of such Registration Request (including, without limitation,
the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments and
appropriate qualification under applicable state securities and real estate
syndication laws); and shall keep such Registration continuously effective until
the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date hereof, (ii) the date on
which all Registrable Shares 


                                          3
<PAGE>

registered pursuant to such Registration have been sold pursuant to such
registration statement or Rule 144, and (iii) the date on which, in the opinion
of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Holders,  all of the
Registrable Shares registered pursuant to such Registration may be sold in
accordance with Rule 144(k); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be
obligated to take any action to effect any such Registration, qualification or
compliance pursuant to this Section 2 in any particular jurisdiction in which
the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process
in effecting such Registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company
is already subject to service in such jurisdiction.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right (the
"SUSPENSION RIGHT") to defer such filing (or suspend sales under any filed
registration statement or defer the updating of any filed registration statement
and suspend sales thereunder) for a period of not more than 105 days during any
one-year period ending on December 31, if the Company shall furnish to the
Holders a certificate signed by an executive officer or any director of the
Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Company, it would be
detrimental to the Company and its shareholders to file such registration
statement or amendment thereto at such time (or continue sales under a filed
registration statement) and therefore the Company has elected to defer the
filing of such registration statement (or suspend sales under a filed
registration statement).

          (b)  The Company shall not be required to effect more than two (2) 
Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.

          Section 3. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS.

          (a)  On and after the Conversion Date (as defined in the Series B
Preferred Articles Supplementary), so long as the Investor and its Affiliates 
hold at least 50% of the Registrable Shares, if the Company proposes to register
under the Securities Act any of its common equity securities with an expected
aggregate offering price to the public of at least $100 million (other than
pursuant to (i) a registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act, (ii) a registration on Form S-4 or any successor form, or
(iii) an offering of securities in connection with an employee benefit, share
dividend, share ownership or dividend reinvestment plan) and the registration
form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Shares, the
Company will give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registrable Shares of
its intention to effect such a registration (each a "PIGGYBACK NOTICE") and,
subject to subparagraph 3(c) below, the Company will include in such
registration all Registrable Shares with respect to which the Company has
received written requests for inclusion therein within ten days after the date
of sending the Piggyback Notice (a "PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION"), unless, if the
Piggyback Registration is not an underwritten offering, the Company in its
reasonable judgement determines that, or in the case of an underwritten
Piggyback Registration, the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing
that in their opinion, the inclusion of Registrable Shares would adversely
interfere with such offering, affect the Company's securities in the public
markets, or otherwise adversely affect the Company.  Nothing herein shall affect
the right of the Company to withdraw any such registration in its sole
discretion.

          (b)  If a Piggyback Registration is a primary registration on behalf
of the Company and, if the Piggyback Registration is not an underwritten
offering, the Company in its 


                                          4
<PAGE>

reasonable judgement determines that, or in the case of an underwritten
Piggyback Registration, the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing
that in their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner within a
price range acceptable to the Company, the Company will include in such
registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell and
(ii) second, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such
Registration and any other securities requested to be included in such
registration, pro rata among the holders of Registrable Shares requesting such
registration and the holders of such other securities on the basis of the number
of Shares requested for inclusion in such registration by each such holder.

          (c)  If a Piggyback Registration is a secondary registration on behalf
of holders of the Company's securities other than the holders of Registrable
Shares, and, if the Piggyback Registration is not an underwritten offering, the
Company determines that, or in the case of an underwritten Piggyback
Registration, the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in
their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such
offering within a price range acceptable to the holders initially requesting
such registration, the Company will include in such registration the securities
requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration and
the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration, pro rata
among the holders of securities requesting such registration on the basis of the
number of Shares initially requested for inclusion in such registration by each
such holder, subject to any preferential registration rights granted prior to
the date of this Agreement.

          (d)  In the case of an underwritten Piggyback Registration, the
Company will have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to
administer the offering.  In a registration pursuant to Section 2(a), the
Holders requesting registration shall have the right to select the investment
banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering, which shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Company.  If requested by the underwriters for any
underwritten offerings by Holders, under a registration requested pursuant to
Section 2(a), the Company will enter into a customary underwriting agreement
with such underwriters for such offering, to contain such representations and
warranties by the Company and such other terms as are customarily contained in
agreements of that type.  The Holders who elect to register Registrable Shares
shall be a party to such underwriting agreement and may, at their option,
require that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such
underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the
obligations of Holders.  Such Holders shall not be required to make any
representations or warranties to or agreement with the Company or the
underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the
Holders and the Holders' intended method of distribution and any other
representation or warranties required by law.

          Section 4. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

          (a)  The Company shall promptly notify the Holders of the occurrence
of the following events:


                                          5
<PAGE>

               (i)   when any registration statement relating to the
Registrable Shares or post-effective amendment thereto filed with the Commission
has become effective;

               (ii)  the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement relating to the
Registrable Shares;

               (iii) the suspension of an effective registration statement by
the Company in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 2(a) hereof;

(iv)the Company's receipt of any notification of the suspension of the
qualification of any Registrable Shares covered by a registration statement for
sale in any jurisdiction; and

               (v)   the existence of any event, fact or circumstance that
results in a registration statement or prospectus relating to Registrable Shares
or any document incorporated therein by reference containing an untrue statement
of material fact or omitting to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading during the
distribution of securities.

          The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the
withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any such registration
statement or any state qualification as promptly as possible.  The Investor
agrees by acquisition of the Registrable Shares that upon receipt of any notice
from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the type described in Section
4(a)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) to immediately discontinue its disposition of
Registrable Shares pursuant to any registration statement relating to such
securities until the Investor's receipt of written notice from the Company that
such disposition may be made.

          (b)  The Company shall provide to the Holders, at no cost to the
Holders, a copy of the registration statement and any amendment thereto used to
effect the Registration of the Registrable Shares, each prospectus contained in
such registration statement or post-effective amendment and any amendment or
supplement thereto and such other documents as the requesting Holders may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Shares covered by such registration statement.  The Company consents to the use
of each such prospectus and any supplement thereto by the Holders in connection
with the offering and sale of the Registrable Shares covered by such
registration statement or any amendment thereto.  The Company shall also file a
sufficient number of copies of the prospectus and any post-effective amendment
or supplement thereto with the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (or, if the Common
Shares are no longer listed thereon, with such other securities exchange or
market on which the Common Shares are then listed) so as to enable the Holders
to have the benefits of the prospectus delivery provisions of Rule 153 under the
Securities Act.

          (c)  The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause
the Registrable Shares covered by a registration statement to be registered with
or approved by such state securities authorities as may be necessary to enable
the Holders to consummate the disposition of such shares pursuant to the plan of
distribution set forth in the registration 


                                          6
<PAGE>

statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take
any action to effect any such Registration, qualification or compliance pursuant
to this Section 4 in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such
Registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject
to service in such jurisdiction..

          (d)  Subject to the Company's Suspension Right, if any event, fact or
circumstance requiring an amendment to a registration statement relating to the
Registrable Shares or supplement to a prospectus relating to the Registrable
Shares shall exist, immediately upon becoming aware thereof the Company agrees
to notify the Holders and prepare and furnish to the Holders a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement or supplement to the prospectus or any
document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document
so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Shares,
the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading.

          (e)  The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts (including
the payment of any listing fees) to obtain the listing of all Registrable Shares
covered by the registration statement on each securities exchange on which
securities of the same class or series are then listed.

          (f)  The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to comply
with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in connection with the offer and
sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to a registration statement, and, as soon as
reasonably practicable following the end of any fiscal year during which a
registration statement effecting a Registration of the Registrable Shares shall
have been effective, to make available to its security holders an earnings
statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

          (g)  The Company agrees to cooperate with the selling Holders to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
Registrable Shares to be sold pursuant to a Registration and not bearing any
Securities Act legend; and enable certificates for such Registrable Shares to be
issued for such numbers of shares and registered in such names as the Holders
may reasonably request at least two business days prior to any sale of
Registrable Shares.

          Section 5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.  The Company shall pay all
Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof.  All Selling
Expenses incurred in connection with the sale of Registrable Shares by any of
the Holders shall be borne by the Holder selling such Registrable Shares.  Each
Holder shall pay the expenses of its own counsel.

          Section 6. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

          (a)  The Company will (i) indemnify each Holder, each Holder's
officers and directors, and each person controlling such Holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims,
losses, damages and liabilities (including reasonable legal expenses), arising
out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a 


                                          7
<PAGE>

material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating to
the Registrable Shares, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any
omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
(ii) reimburse each Holder for all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred
in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such
expenses are incurred, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company will not be liable in
any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or
expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder or underwriter
for inclusion therein; and PROVIDED FURTHER, that in the case of a
nonunderwritten offering, the Company shall not be liable in any such case with
respect to any preliminary prospectus or preliminary prospectus supplement to
the extent that any such expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities
result from the fact that Registrable Shares were sold to a person as to whom it
shall be established that there was not sent or given at or prior to the written
confirmation of such sale a copy of the prospectus as then amended or
supplemented under circumstances were such delivery is required under the
Securities Act, if the Company shall have previously furnished copies thereof to
such Indemnified Person in sufficient quantities to enable such Indemnified
Party to satisfy such obligations and the expense, claim, loss, damage or
liability of such Indemnified Person results from an untrue statement or
omission of a material fact contained it the preliminary prospectus or the
preliminary prospectus supplement which was corrected in the prospectus.

          (b)  Each Holder selling shares pursuant to a Registration (and, in
the case of a nonunderwritten offering, any agents of each Holder that
facilitate the distribution of Registrable Shares) will (i) indemnify the
Company, each of its directors and each of its officers who signs the
registration statement, each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities
covered by such registration statement, and each person who controls the Company
or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,
against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising out of or based on any untrue
statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such
registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is
made in such registration statement or prospectus, in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder
for inclusion therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company for all reasonable legal
or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

          (c)  Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6 (the
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, but the
omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 6 except to the extent of the actual damages suffered by such
delay in notification.  The Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such
action, including the employment of counsel to be chosen by the Indemnifying
Party to be reasonably satisfactory to 


                                          8
<PAGE>

the Indemnified Party, and payment of expenses.  The Indemnified Party shall
have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the legal fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party,
unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by
the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such action, or the
Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense
of such action or the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or
additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the
Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action
on behalf of the Indemnified Party), in any of which events such fees and
expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party.  No Indemnifying Party, in
the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of
each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all
liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

          (d)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is
unavailable to a party that would have been an Indemnified Party under this
Section 6 in respect of any expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities
referred to herein, then each party that would have been an Indemnifying Party
hereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such
expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one
hand and such Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statement or
omission which resulted in such expenses, claims, losses, damages and
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The
relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Indemnifying Party or such Indemnified Party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.  The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by
pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 6(d).

          (e)  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

          (f)  In no event shall any Holder be liable for any expenses, claims,
losses, damages or liabilities pursuant to this Section 6 in excess of the net
proceeds to such Holder of any Registrable Shares sold by such Holder.

          Section 7. INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED BY HOLDERS.  Each Holder shall
furnish to the Company such information as the Company may reasonably request
and as shall be required in connection with the Registration and related
proceedings referred to in Section 2 or Section 3 hereof.  If any Holder fails
to provide the Company with such information within 10 days of receipt of the
Company's request, the Company's obligations under Section 2 or 


                                          9
<PAGE>

Section 3 hereof, as applicable, with respect to such Holder or the Registrable
Shares owned by such Holder, shall be suspended until such Holder provides such
information.

          Section 8. UNDERTAKING TO PARTICIPATE IN UNDERWRITING.  If the
Holders of at least $75 million of the Registrable Shares shall propose to sell
Registrable Shares in an underwritten public offering, the Company shall make
available, for reasonable periods of time and with reasonable notice,  members
of the management of the Company and its affiliates for reasonable assistance in
selling efforts relating to such offering, to the extent customary for a public
offering (including, without limitation, to the extent customary, senior
management attendance at due diligence meetings with the underwriters and their
counsel and road shows) and shall enter into underwriting agreements containing
usual and customary terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Company
for such types of offerings.

          Section 9. RULE 144 SALES.

          (a)  The Company covenants that it will use its best efforts to file
the reports required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, so as to
enable any Holder to sell Registrable Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act.

          (b)  In connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition by any
Holder of any Registrable Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
the Company shall cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Shares to be
sold and not bearing any Securities Act legend, and enable certificates for such
Registrable Shares to be for such number of shares and registered in such names
as the selling Holder may reasonably request at least two business days prior to
any sale of Registrable Shares.

          Section 10.    TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  The rights and
obligations of a Holder under this Agreement may be transferred or otherwise
assigned to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Shares provided that
(i) such transferee or assignee becomes a party to this Agreement or agrees in
writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if such
transferee or assignee were an original party hereunder and (ii) the Company is
given written notice by such Holder of such transfer or assignment stating the
name and address of such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities
with regard to which such rights and obligations are being transferred or
assigned.

          Section 11.    MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a)  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed in all respects
by the laws of the State of Maryland.

          (b)  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement constitutes the full and entire
understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subject
matter hereof.

          (c)  AMENDMENT.  No supplement, modification, waiver or termination of
this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Company and
the Holders of at least two-thirds of the Registrable Shares.


                                          10
<PAGE>

          (d)  NOTICES, ETC.  Each notice, demand, request, request for
approval, consent, approval, disapproval, designation or other communication
(each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a notice) required or desired
to be given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing (except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement), and shall be effective and deemed to have
been received (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when sent by fax with receipt
acknowledged, (iii) five (5) days after having been mailed by certified or
registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or
(iv) the next business day after having been sent by a nationally recognized
overnight mail or courier service, receipt requested.  Notices shall be
addressed as follows: (a) if to the Investor, at the Investor's address or fax
number set forth below its signature hereon, or at such other address or fax
number as the Investor shall have furnished to the Company in writing, or (b) if
to any assignee or transferee of an Investor, at such address or fax number as
such assignee or transferee shall have furnished the Company in writing, or
(c) if to the Company, at the address of its principal executive offices and
addressed to the attention of the President, or at such other address or fax
number as the Company shall have furnished to the Investors or any assignee or
transferee.  Any notice or other communication required to be given hereunder to
a Holder in connection with a registration may instead be given to the
designated representative of such Holder.

          (e)  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which may be executed by fewer than all of the parties
hereto (PROVIDED that each party executes one or more counterparts), each of
which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such
counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

          (f)  SEVERABILITY.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement
becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect

parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

          (i)  REMEDIES.  The Company and the Investor acknowledge that there
would be no adequate remedy at law if any party fails to perform any of its
obligations hereunder, and accordingly agree that the Company and each Holder,
in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity,
shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of another
party under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement in any court of the United States or any State thereof having
jurisdiction.

          (j)  ATTORNEYS' FEES.  If the Company or any Holder brings an action
to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party in the action
shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with such action,
including any appeal of such action.

                        EFFECTIVENESS OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS


          2.1  EFFECTIVENESS OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  This Agreement shall
become effective immediately, provided, however, that the exercise by any
Investor of any registration rights granted pursuant to Article 3 hereof prior
to the first anniversary of the Closing Date shall be subject to such Investor
first having received written consent from the Company.

                                    ARTICLE III
                                          
               REDEMPTION, REGISTRATION RIGHTS AND LOCK-UP AGREEMENT


          3.1  REDEMPTION RIGHTS.  The Investor, upon admission as a limited
partner of the Partnership, will be granted rights to redeem OP Units on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Partnership Agreement, provided that
notwithstanding anything set forth in the Partnership Agreement, the Investor
may not: (i) exercise such rights with respect to all or any portion of the OP
Units prior to that date which is six months prior to the Closing, (ii) deliver
more than two separate redemption notices per calendar year, and (iii) redeem
less than 5,000 OP Units (or, if the Investor holds less than 5,000 OP Units,
all of the OP Units held by the Investor) in a single redemption.

          3.2  NOTICE AND REGISTRATION.  If the Company proposes to register any
shares of Common Stock or other securities issued by it having terms
substantially similar to Eligible Securities ("Other Securities") for public
sale under the Securities Act (whether proposed to be offered for sale by the
Company or by any other Person) on a form and in a manner which would permit
registration of Eligible Securities for sale to the public under the Securities
Act, it will give prompt written notice to each Investor of its intention to do
so, and upon the written request of any of the Investors delivered to the
Company within fifteen (15) Business Days after the giving of any such notice
(which request shall specify the number of Eligible Securities intended to be
disposed of by such Investor and the intended method of disposition thereof) the
Company will use all reasonable efforts to effect, in connection with the
registration of the Other Securities, the registration under the Securities Act
of all Eligible Securities which the Company has been so requested to register
by the Investor or Investors, to the extent required to permit the disposition
(in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof as aforesaid) of
Eligible Securities so to be registered provided that:

          (a)  if, at any time after giving such written notice of its intention
          to register any Other Securities and prior to the effective date of
          the registration statement filed in connection with such registration,
          the Company shall determine for any reason not to register the Other
          Securities, the Company may, at its election, give 


                                          3
<PAGE>

          written notice of such determination to the Investor or Investors
          seeking registration hereunder (hereafter referred to as the "SELLING
          INVESTORS") and thereupon the Company shall be relieved of its
          obligation to register such Eligible Securities in connection with the
          registration of such Other Securities (but not from its obligation to
          pay Registration Expenses to the extent incurred in connection
          therewith as provided in Section 3.2);

          (b)  The Company will not be required to effect any registration
          pursuant to this Article 3 if the Company shall have been advised in
          writing (with a copy to Investor) by a nationally recognized
          independent investment banking firm selected by the Company to act as
          lead underwriter in connection with the public offering of securities
          by the Company, that in such firm's opinion, a registration of the
          Eligible Securities which the Company has been requested to register
          by Investor at that time would materially and adversely affect the
          Company's own scheduled offering; and

          (c)  The Company shall not be required to effect any registration of
          Eligible Securities under this Article 3 incidental to the
          registration of any of its securities in connection with mergers,
          acquisitions, exchange offers, subscription offers, dividend
          reinvestment plans or stock options or other employee benefit plans.

          3.3  REGISTRATION EXPENSES.  The Company (as between the Company and
the Selling Investors) shall be responsible for the payment of all Registration
Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to this Article 3.

          3.4  LOCK-UP AGREEMENT.  The Investor agrees, that, prior to that date
which is one year following the Closing Date, it will not directly or
indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, make
any short sale, transfer, pledge, cause a registration of, or otherwise dispose
of or make a distribution of any of the shares of Common Stock acquired by the
redemption of all or any portion of its OP Units, without the prior written
consent of the Company.

                                     ARTICLE IV
                                          
                              REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
                                          

          4.1  REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION.  If and whenever the Company is
required to use all reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any
Eligible Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Article 3, the
Company will as promptly as is practicable:

          (a)  prepare, file and use all reasonable efforts to cause to become
          effective a registration statement under the Securities Act regarding
          the Eligible Securities to be offered;

          (b)  prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
          such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
          therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement
          effective and to comply with the 


                                          4
<PAGE>

          provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of
          all Eligible Securities until the earlier of such time as all of such
          Eligible Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the
          intended methods of disposition by the Selling Investors set forth in
          such registration statement or the expiration of twelve (12) months
          after such registration statement becomes effective;

          (c)  furnish to each Selling Investor and to any underwriter of such
          Eligible Securities such number of conformed copies of such
          registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement
          thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies
          of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including
          each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), in conformity
          with the requirements of the Securities Act, such documents
          incorporated by reference in such registration statement or
          prospectus, and such other documents as such Selling Investor or such
          underwriter may reasonably request;

          (d)  use all reasonable efforts to register or qualify all Eligible
          Securities covered by such registration statement under such other
          securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling
          Investors or any underwriter of such Eligible Securities shall
          reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may
          be reasonably requested by the Selling Investors or any underwriter to
          consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Eligible
          Securities covered by such registration statement, except the Company
          shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do
          business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is
          not so qualified, or to subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction
          where it is not then subject to taxation, or to consent to general
          service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to
          service of process;

          (e)  use all reasonable efforts to list the Eligible Securities on
          each national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then
          listed, if the listing of such securities is then permitted under the
          rules of such exchange; and 

          (f)  immediately notify the Selling Investors at any time when a
          prospectus relating to a registration pursuant to Article 3 hereof is
          required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of
          any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such
          registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
          statement of material fact or omits to state any material fact
          required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
          therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
          not misleading, and at the request of any Selling Investor prepare and
          furnish to such Investor as many copies of a supplement to or an
          amendment of such prospectus as the Selling Investor may request so
          that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Eligible
          Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a
          material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
          therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
          circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The Company may require the Investors to furnish the Company such information
regarding the Investors and the distribution of such securities as the Company
may from time to time reasonably request in writing and as shall be required by
law or by the SEC in connection with any registration.  The Company may also
impose such restrictions and limitations on the distribution of such Eligible
Securities as the Company reasonably believes are necessary or advisable to
comply with applicable law or to effect an orderly distribution, including those
restrictions set forth in Section 4.3 hereof.

          4.2  UNDERWRITING.  (a) In the event that any registration pursuant to
Article 3 hereof shall involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering,
the Company may require Eligible Securities requested to be registered pursuant
to Article 3 to be included in such underwriting on the same terms and
conditions as shall be applicable to the Other Securities being sold through
underwriters under such registration.

          (b)  If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering of
Eligible Securities pursuant to a registration requested hereunder, the Company
will enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement with
such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to contain such
representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms and
provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreement
