payment and a $7.0 million obligation to be paid in connection with development work by Federated. The Company's share of the purchase price was $81.0 million and was funded in part from the proceeds of sales of Park Lane Mall, Greeley Mall, Holiday Village and Great Falls Marketplace, and from borrowings under the Company's line of credit (See "Dispositions"). The balance of the purchase price was paid by the Company's joint venture partners.
On December 1, 2006, the Company acquired Deptford Mall, a two-level 1.0 million square foot super-regional mall in Deptford, New Jersey.

The joint venture has the flexibility, subject to certain conditions, to borrow an additional $70.0 million. The initial interest rate is at LIBOR plus 0.55%. The Company's pro rata share of the net proceeds was used to pay down the Company's line of credit and for general corporate purposes.
2 The Macerich Company
On July 20, 2006, the Company amended and expanded its revolving line of credit to $1.5 billion from $1.0 billion and extended the maturity to April 25, 2010 with a one-year extension option. The interest rate, after amendment, fluctuates from LIBOR plus 1.0% to LIBOR plus 1.35% depending on the Company's overall leverage.

Redevelopment and Development Activity:
The grand opening of the first phase of Twenty Ninth Street, an 817,085 square foot shopping district in Boulder, Colorado, took place on October 13, 2006. The balance of the project is scheduled for completion in the Summer 2007. Phase I of the project is 93% leased. Recent store openings include Borders Books, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Helly Hansen, Lady Foot Locker, lululemon, and Solstice Sunglass Boutique. Wild Oats has also opened their corporate headquarters at this project. Recent lease commitments include Anthropologie, Sephora, Cantina Laredo, Jamba Juice and North Face.
On November 1, 2006, the Company received Phoenix City Council approval to add up to five mixed-use towers of up to 165 feet at Biltmore Fashion Park. Biltmore Fashion Park is an established luxury destination for first-to-market, high-end and luxury tenants in the metropolitan Phoenix market. The mixed-use towers are planned to be built over time based upon demand.
Groundbreaking took place on February 6, 2007 for the 230,000 square foot life style expansion at The Oaks in Thousand Oaks, California. Plans also call for the remodeling of both the interior spaces and the exterior façade, and will include a new 138,000 square foot Nordstrom scheduled to open at the Center in Fall 2008. New tenants include Abercrombie Kids, Forever 21, Forth & Towne, Guess?, J. Crew, Iridesse, Planet Funk and Solstice Sunglass Boutique. The combined expansion and renovation of the center is projected to cost approximately $250 million and be completed in Fall 2008.
The first phase of SanTan Village, a $205 million regional shopping center under construction in Gilbert, Arizona, is scheduled to open in Fall 2007. The Center, currently 85% leased, is an open-air streetscape that will contain in excess of 1.2 million square feet on 120 acres. More than 35 tenants have committed to date, including Dillard's, Harkins Theatres, Aeropostale, American Eagle Outfitters, Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, Apple, Banana Republic, Best Buy, Blue Wasabi, The Body Shop, The Buckle, Charlotte Russe, Chico's, The Children's Place, Coach, Coldwater

Construction began in late 2006 on The Promenade at Casa Grande, a $135 million, 1.0 million-square-foot regional shopping center in Arizona's fastest-growing county. Located in Casa Grande, Pinal County, the center will be located along the I-10 corridor between Phoenix and Tucson. The project is 85% committed, including anchors Target and JC Penney, and will deliver shopping, dining and entertainment options to a key growth corridor. Phase I of the project, which will include a combination of large-format retailers, specialty shops and restaurants, is scheduled for completion in Fall 2007. Phase II is comprised of small shops and is scheduled to open in March 2008. The Promenade at Casa Grande is 51% owned by the Company.
On January 22, 2007, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved plans for a transit-oriented development at Tysons Corner Center in McLean, Virginia. The expansion will add 3.5 million square feet of mixed-use space to the existing 2.2 million square foot regional shopping center. The project is planned to be built in phases over the next 10 years based on market demand and the expansion of the area's light rail system. Completion of the entitlement process for Phase I, totaling roughly 1.4 million square feet, is anticipated for the first quarter of 2008. The first phase of the project is anticipated to begin development in late 2009.
In late 2006, plans were announced to bring Barneys New York Department Store to Scottsdale Fashion Square, replacing one of the anchor spaces acquired as a result of the Federated-May merger. Demolition of the vacant space and adjoining parking structure will begin in 2007, allowing for construction of an additional 100,000 square feet of new shop space and the 65,000-square-foot Barneys New York location. This store is anticipated to open in Fall 2009.
Dispositions:
On June 9, 2006, the Company sold Scottsdale/101, a 564,000 square foot Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The sale price was $117.6 million from which $56.0 million was used to payoff the mortgage on the property. The Company's share of the realized gain was $25.8 million.

General
There are several types of retail shopping centers, which are differentiated primarily based on size and marketing strategy. Regional shopping centers generally contain in excess of 400,000 square feet of GLA and 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" or "urban villages" or "specialty 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.
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, often 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.
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 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 majority of the revenues of a Regional Shopping Center.
Strategy:
The Company has a four-pronged business strategy which focuses on the acquisition, leasing and management, redevelopment and development of Regional Shopping Centers.
Acquisitions. The Company focuses on well-located, quality regional shopping centers that are, or it believes can be, dominant in their trade area and have strong revenue enhancement potential. The Company subsequently seeks to improve operating performance and returns from these properties through leasing, management and redevelopment. Since its initial public offering, the Company has acquired interests in shopping centers nationwide. 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. (See "Recent DevelopmentsAcquisitions").
The Macerich Company 5
Leasing and Management. 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, accounting, development, finance, leasing, legal, marketing, property management and redevelopment 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.
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.
Similarly, the Company generally utilizes on-site and regionally located leasing managers to better understand the market and the community in which a Center is located. The Company continually assesses and fine tunes each Center's tenant mix, identifies and replaces underperforming tenants and seeks to optimize existing tenant sizes and configurations.
On a selective basis, the Company also does property management and leasing for third parties. The Company currently manages seven malls for third party owners on a fee basis. In addition, the Company manages four community centers for a related party. (See "Item 13 Certain Relationships and Related Transactions").
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 approvals. (See "Recent Developments Redevelopment and Development Activity").
Development. The Company is pursuing ground-up development projects on a selective basis. The Company has supplemented its strong acquisition, operations and redevelopment skills with its ground-up development expertise to further increase growth opportunities. (See "Recent Developments Redevelopment and Development Activity").
The Centers
As of December 31, 2006, the Centers consist of 73 Regional Shopping Centers and 18 Community Shopping Centers aggregating approximately 76.9 million square feet of GLA. The 73 Regional Shopping Centers in the Company's portfolio average approximately 992,000 square feet of GLA and range in size from 2.2 million square feet of GLA at Tyson's Corner Center to 323,479 square feet of GLA at Panorama Mall. The Company's 18 Community Shopping Centers have an average of approximately 237,000 square feet of GLA. The Centers presently include 300 Anchors totaling approximately 41.0 million square feet of GLA and approximately 10,000 Mall and Freestanding Stores totaling approximately 35.9 million square feet of GLA.
Competition
There are numerous owners and developers of real estate that compete with the Company in its trade areas. There are seven other publicly traded mall companies and several large private mall companies, any of which under certain
6 The Macerich Company
circumstances could compete against the Company for an acquisition, an Anchor or a tenant. In addition, private equity firms compete with the Company in terms of acquisitions. This results in competition for both acquisition of centers and for tenants or Anchors 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 retail formats and technologies, such as lifestyle centers, power centers, internet shopping and home shopping networks, factory outlet centers, discount shopping clubs and mail-order services that could adversely affect the Company's revenues.
Major Tenants
The Centers derived approximately 95.0% of their total rents for the year ended December 31, 2006 from Mall and Freestanding Stores. One tenant accounted for approximately 3.5% of minimum rents of the Company, and no other single tenant accounted for more than 2.9% as of December 31, 2006.
The following tenants (including their subsidiaries) represent the 10 largest tenants in the Company's portfolio (including joint ventures) based upon minimum rents in place as of December 31, 2006:

Mall and Freestanding Stores
Mall and Freestanding Store leases generally provide for tenants to pay rent comprised of a base (or "minimum") rent and a percentage rent based on sales. In some cases, tenants pay only minimum rent, and in some cases, tenants pay only percentage rents. Historically, 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. Since January 2005, the Company generally began
The Macerich Company 7
entering into leases which require tenants to pay a stated amount for such operating expenses, generally excluding property taxes, regardless of the expenses the Company actually incurs at any Center.
Tenant space of 10,000 square feet and under in the portfolio at December 31, 2006 comprises 67.9% of all Mall and Freestanding Store space. The Company uses tenant spaces of 10,000 square feet and under for comparing rental rate activity. 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 at the consolidated Centers, 10,000 square feet and under, commencing during 2006 was $38.40 per square foot, or 20.3% higher than the average base rent for all Mall and Freestanding Stores at the consolidated Centers, 10,000 square feet and under, expiring during 2006 of $31.92 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:

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:

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 accounted for approximately 5.0% of the Company's total rent for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Environmental Matters
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 may reasonably result in costs associated with future investigation or remediation, or in environmental liability:
12 The Macerich Company
Company if responsible current or former tenants, or other responsible parties, are unavailable to pay such costs.
PCE was 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, was 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 the 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 an average concentration of 1.7 ppb, which is below the MCL. In 1998, DTSC issued an order to multiple responsible parties regarding this contamination. The Company has retained an environmental consultant and has initiated extensive testing of the site. 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. A total of $0.2 million and $0.1 million have already been incurred by the joint venture for remediation, professional and legal fees for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company has been sharing costs with former owners of the property. An additional $0.1 million remains reserved at December 31, 2006.
The Company acquired Fresno Fashion Fair in December 1996. Asbestos was 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 of .1 fcc. The accounting at acquisition included a reserve of $3.3 million to cover future removal of this asbestos, as necessary. The Center was recently renovated and a substantial amount of the asbestos was removed. The Company incurred $0.5 million and $0.5 million in remediation costs for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. An additional $0.4 million remains reserved at December 31, 2006.
Insurance
Each of the Centers has comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. The Company does not insure certain types of losses (such as losses from wars), because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. In addition, while the Company or the relevant joint venture, as applicable, carries earthquake insurance on the Centers located in California, the policies are subject to a deductible equal to 5% of the total insured value of each Center, a $100,000 per occurrence minimum and a combined annual aggregate loss limit of $115 million on these Centers. While the Company or the relevant joint venture also carries terrorism insurance on the Centers, the policies are subject to a $10,000 deductible and a combined annual aggregate loss of $800 million for both certified and non-certified acts of terrorism. In addition, the Company's ability to maintain this level of terrorism insurance
The Macerich Company 13
may be adversely impacted by the pending expiration of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act on December 31, 2007. Each Center has environmental insurance covering eligible third-party losses, remediation and non-owned disposal sites, subject to a $100,000 deductible and a $10 million three-year aggregate limit. Some environmental losses are not covered by this insurance because they are uninsurable or not economically insurable. Furthermore, the Company carries title insurance on substantially all of the Centers for less than their full value.
Qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT 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 REIT under the Code. As a REIT, 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 REIT depends on the Company's ability to meet certain dividend distribution tests, share ownership requirements and various qualification tests prescribed in the Code.
Employees
As of December 31, 2006, the Company and the Management Companies employed 3,036 persons, including executive officers (6), personnel in the areas of acquisitions and business development (17), property management (495), leasing (187), redevelopment/development (93), financial services (268) and legal affairs (62). In addition, in an effort to minimize operating costs, the Company generally maintains its own security and guest services staff (1,871) and in some cases maintenance staff (37). The Company primarily engages a third party to handle maintenance at the Centers. Unions represent 29 of these employees. The Company believes that relations with its employees are good.

14 The Macerich Company
We invest primarily in shopping centers, which are subject to a number of significant risks that are beyond our control.
Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk that may affect the ability of our Centers to generate sufficient revenues to meet operating and other expenses, including debt service, lease payments, capital expenditures and tenant improvements, and to make distributions to us and our stockholders. Centers wholly owned by us are referred to as "Wholly Owned Centers" and Centers that are partly but not wholly owned by us are referred to as "Joint Venture Centers." A number of factors may decrease the income generated by the Centers, including:
Income from shopping center properties and shopping center values are also affected by applicable laws and regulations, including tax, environmental, safety and zoning laws, and by interest rate levels and the availability and cost of financing. In addition, the number of prospective buyers interested in purchasing shopping centers is limited. Therefore, if we were to sell one or more of our Centers, we may receive less money than we originally invested in the Center.
Some of our Centers are geographically concentrated and, as a result, are sensitive to local economic and real estate conditions.
A significant percentage of our Centers are located in California and Arizona and 12 Centers in the aggregate are located in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. To the extent that weak economic or real estate conditions, including as a result of the factors described in the preceding risk factor, or other factors affect California, Arizona, New York, New Jersey or Connecticut (or their respective regions) more severely than other areas of the country, our financial performance could be negatively impacted.
Our Centers must compete with other retail centers and retail formats for tenants and customers.
There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with the Centers in attracting tenants to lease space, and an increasing number of new retail formats and technologies other than retail shopping centers compete with the Centers for retail sales. Competing retail formats include lifestyle centers, factory outlet centers, power centers, discount shopping clubs, mail-order services, internet shopping and home shopping networks. Our revenues may be reduced as a result of increased competition.
The Macerich Company 15
Our Centers depend on tenants to generate rental revenues.
Our revenues and funds available for distribution will be reduced if:
A decision by an Anchor, or other significant tenant to cease operations at a Center could also have an adverse effect on our financial condition. The closing of an Anchor or other significant tenant may allow other Anchors and/or other tenants to terminate their leases, seek rent relief and/or cease operating their stores at the Center or otherwise adversely affect occupancy at the Center. In addition, Anchors and/or tenants at one or more Centers might terminate their leases as a result of mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, dispositions or bankruptcies in the retail industry. The bankruptcy and/or closure of retail stores, or sale of an Anchor or store to a less desirable retailer, may reduce occupancy levels, customer traffic and rental income, or otherwise adversely affect our financial performance. Furthermore, if the store sales of retailers operating in the Centers decline sufficiently, tenants might be unable to pay their minimum rents or expense recovery charges. In the event of a default by a lessee, the affected Center may experience delays and costs in enforcing its rights as lessor.
For example, on October 24, 2005, Federated Department Stores, Inc. disclosed that it had identified 82 duplicate locations in certain malls to be divested during 2006. In July 2006, we purchased 11 of the identified stores which were located in ten of our Centers. On February 1, 2006, Musicland Holding Corp. announced the closure of 341 of its low performing Sam Goody and Suncoast Picture Stores which include 26 stores located in the Centers. Approximately 80% of these stores remain vacant. We are contemplating various replacement tenant and/or redevelopment opportunities for all of these vacant stores. No assurance can be given regarding the impact on us of these divestitures or closures or whether we will be successful in leasing or redeveloping these vacant stores.
Our acquisition and real estate development strategies may not be successful.
Our historical growth in revenues, net income and funds from operations has been closely tied to the acquisition and redevelopment of shopping centers. Many factors, including the availability and cost of capital, our total amount of debt outstanding, interest rates and the availability of attractive acquisition targets, among others, will affect our ability to acquire and redevelop additional properties in the future. We may not be successful in pursuing acquisition opportunities, and newly acquired properties may not perform as well as expected. Expenses arising from our efforts to complete acquisitions, redevelop properties or increase our market penetration may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We face competition for acquisitions primarily from other REITs, as well as from private real estate companies and financial buyers. Some of our competitors have greater financial and other resources. Increased competition for shopping center acquisitions may impact adversely our ability to acquire additional properties on favorable terms. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to implement our growth strategy successfully or manage our expanded operations effectively and profitably.
16 The Macerich Company
We may not be able to achieve the anticipated financial and operating results from newly acquired assets. Some of the factors that could affect anticipated results are:
Our business strategy also includes the selective development and construction of retail properties. Any development, redevelopment and construction activities that we may undertake will be subject to the risks of real estate development, including lack of financing, construction delays, environmental requirements, budget overruns, sunk costs and lease-up. Furthermore, occupancy rates and rents at a newly completed property may not be sufficient to make the property profitable. Real estate development activities are also subject to risks relating to the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, and occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations. If any of the above events occur, our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders and service our indebtedness could be adversely affected.
Certain individuals have substantial influence over the management of both us and the Operating Partnership, which may create conflicts of interest.
Under the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, we, as the sole general partner, are responsible for the management of the Operating Partnership's business and affairs. Each of the principals serves as an executive officer and is a member of our board of directors. Accordingly, these principals have substantial influence over our management and the management of the Operating Partnership.
The tax consequences of the sale of some of the Centers may create conflicts of interest.
The principals will experience negative tax consequences if some of the Centers are sold. As a result, the principals may not favor a sale of these Centers even though such a sale may benefit our other stockholders.
The guarantees of indebtedness by and certain holdings of the principals may create conflicts of interest.
The principals have guaranteed mortgage loans encumbering one of the Centers. As of December 31, 2006, the principals have guaranteed an aggregate principal amount of approximately $21.8 million. The existence of guarantees of these loans by the principals could result in the principals having interests that are inconsistent with the interests of our stockholders.
The principals may have different interests than our stockholders because they are significant holders of the Operating Partnership.
The Macerich Company 17
If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, we will have reduced funds available for distributions to our stockholders.
We believe that we currently qualify as a REIT. No assurance can be given that we will remain qualified as a REIT. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. The complexity of these provisions and of the applicable income tax regulations is greater in the case of a REIT structure like ours that holds assets in partnership form. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control, including determinations by our partners in the Joint Venture Centers, may affect our continued qualification as a REIT. In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly change the tax laws with respect to our qualification as a REIT or the U.S. federal income tax consequences of that qualification.
If in any taxable year we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, we will suffer the following negative results:
In addition, if we were to lose our REIT status, we will be prohibited from qualifying as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which the qualification was lost, absent relief under statutory provisions. As a result, net income and the funds available for distributions to our stockholders would be reduced for at least five years and the fair market value of our shares could be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, the Internal Revenue Service could challenge our REIT status for past periods, which if successful could result in us owing a material amount of tax for prior periods. It is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations might cause our board of directors to revoke our REIT election.
Even if we remain qualified as a REIT, we might face other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow. Further, we might be subject to federal, state and local taxes on our income and property. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for distributions to stockholders.
Complying with REIT requirements might cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities.
In order to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must satisfy tests concerning, among other things, our sources of income, the nature of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and the ownership of our stock. We may also be required to make distributions to our stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Thus, compliance with REIT requirements may cause us to forego opportunities we would otherwise pursue.
In addition, the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code impose a 100% tax on income from "prohibited transactions." Prohibited transactions generally include sales of assets that constitute inventory or other property held for sale in the ordinary course of business, other than foreclosure property. This 100% tax could impact our desire to sell assets and other investments at otherwise opportune times if we believe such sales could be considered a prohibited transaction.
18 The Macerich Company
Complying with REIT requirements may force us to borrow to make distributions to our stockholders.
As a REIT, we generally must distribute 90% of our annual taxable income (subject to certain adjustments) to our stockholders. From time to time, we might generate taxable income greater than our net income for financial reporting purposes, or our taxable income might be greater than our cash flow available for distributions to our stockholders. If we do not have other funds available in these situations, we might be unable to distribute 90% of our taxable income as required by the REIT rules. In that case, we would need to borrow funds, sell a portion of our investments (potentially at disadvantageous prices) or find another alternative source of funds. These alternatives could increase our costs or reduce our equity and reduce amounts for investments.
Outside partners in Joint Venture Centers result in additional risks to our stockholders.
We own partial interests in property partnerships that own 42 Joint Venture Centers as well as fee title to a site that is ground leased to a property partnership that owns a Joint Venture Center and several development sites. We may acquire partial interests in additional properties through joint venture arrangements. Investments in Centers that are not Wholly Owned Centers involve risks different from those of investments in Wholly Owned Centers.
We may have fiduciary responsibilities to our partners that could affect decisions concerning the Joint Venture Centers. Third parties may share control of major decisions relating to the Joint Venture Centers, including decisions with respect to sales, refinancings and the timing and amount of additional capital contributions, as well as decisions that could have an adverse impact on our status. For example, we may lose our management rights relating to the Joint Venture Centers if:
In addition, some of our outside partners control the day-to-day operations of eight Joint Venture Centers (NorthPark Center, West Acres Center, Eastland Mall, Granite Run Mall, Lake Square Mall, NorthPark Mall, South Park Mall and Valley Mall). We, therefore, do not control cash distributions from these Centers, and the lack of cash distributions from these Centers could jeopardize our ability to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
Our holding company structure makes it dependent on distributions from the Operating Partnership.
Because we conduct our operations through the Operating Partnership, our ability to service our debt obligations and pay dividends to our stockholders is strictly dependent upon the earnings and cash flows of the Operating Partnership and the ability of the Operating Partnership to make distributions to us. Under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, the Operating Partnership is prohibited from making any distribution to us to the extent that at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, all liabilities of the Operating
The Macerich Company 19
Partnership (other than some non-recourse liabilities and some liabilities to the partners) exceed the fair value of the assets of the Operating Partnership.
Possible environmental liabilities could adversely affect us.
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in that real property. These laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances may be substantial. In addition, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to remedy environmental hazards properly, may adversely affect the owner's or operator's ability to sell or rent affected real property or to borrow money using affected real property as collateral.
Persons or entities that arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances at the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not that facility is owned or operated by the person or entity arranging for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. Laws exist that impose liability for release of ACMs into the air, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real property for personal injury associated with exposure to ACMs. In connection with our ownership, operation, management, development and redevelopment of the Centers, or any other centers or properties we acquire in the future, we may be potentially liable under these laws and may incur costs in responding to these liabilities.
Uninsured losses could adversely affect our financial condition.
Each of our Centers has comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. We do not insure certain types of losses (such as losses from wars), because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. In addition, while we or the relevant joint venture, as applicable, carry earthquake insurance on the Centers located in California, the policies are subject to a deductible equal to 5% of the total insured value of each Center, a $100,000 per occurrence minimum and a combined annual aggregate loss limit of $115 million on these Centers. While we or the relevant joint venture also carries terrorism insurance on the Centers, the policies are subject to a $10,000 deductible and a combined annual aggregate loss limit of $800 million for both certified and non-certified acts of terrorism. In addition, our ability to maintain this level of terrorism insurance may be adversely impacted by the pending expiration of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act on December 31, 2007. Each Center has environmental insurance covering eligible third-party losses, remediation and non-owned disposal sites, subject to a $100,000 deductible and a $10 million three-year aggregate limit. Some environmental losses are not covered by this insurance because they are uninsurable or not economically insurable. Furthermore, we carry title insurance on many of the Centers for less than their full value. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs, the entity that owns the affected Center could lose its capital invested in the Center, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the Center, while remaining obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the Center. An uninsured loss or loss in excess of insured limits may negatively impact our financial condition.
20 The Macerich Company
As the general partner of the Operating Partnership and certain of the property partnerships, we are generally liable for any of its unsatisfied obligations other than non-recourse obligations.
An ownership limit and certain anti-takeover defenses could inhibit a change of control or reduce the value of our common stock.

In order for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding stock (after taking into account options to acquire stock) may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include some entities that would not ordinarily be considered "individuals") during the last half of a taxable year. Our Charter restricts ownership of more than 5% (the "Ownership Limit") of the lesser of the number or value of our outstanding shares of stock by any single stockholder (with limited exceptions for some holders of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, and their respective families and affiliated entities, including all four principals). In addition to enhancing preservation of our status as a REIT, the Ownership Limit may:
Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may waive or modify (subject to limitations) the Ownership Limit with respect to one or more of our stockholders, if it is satisfied that ownership in excess of this limit will not jeopardize our status as a REIT.
Stockholder Rights Plan and Selected Provisions of our Charter and Bylaws. Agreements to which we are a party, as well as some of the provisions of our Charter and bylaws, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us and may inhibit a change in control that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interest or that could give our stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market prices for our shares. These agreements and provisions include the following:
The Macerich Company 21
Selected Provisions of Maryland Law. The Maryland General Corporation Law prohibits business combinations between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder (which includes any person who beneficially holds 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation's shares) or its affiliates for five years following the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder and, after the five-year period, requires the recommendation of the board of directors and two super-majority stockholder votes to approve a business combination unless the stockholders receive a minimum price determined by the statute. As permitted by Maryland law, our Charter exempts from these provisions any business combination between us and the principals and their respective affiliates and related persons. Maryland law also allows the board of directors to exempt particular business combinations before the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Furthermore, a person is not an interested stockholder if the transaction by which he or she would otherwise have become an interested stockholder is approved in advance by the board of directors.
The Maryland General Corporation Law also provides that the acquirer of certain levels of voting power in electing directors of a Maryland corporation (one-tenth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority and a majority or more) is not entitled to vote the shares in excess of the applicable threshold, unless voting rights for the shares are approved by holders of two thirds of the disinterested shares or unless the acquisition of the shares has been specifically or generally approved or exempted from the statute by a provision in our Charter or bylaws adopted before the acquisition of the shares. Our Charter exempts from these provisions voting rights of shares owned or acquired by the principals and their respective affiliates and related persons. Our bylaws also contain a provision exempting from this statute any acquisition by any person of shares of our common stock. There can be no assurance that this bylaw will not be amended or eliminated in the future. The Maryland General Corporation Law and our Charter also contain supermajority voting requirements with respect to our ability to amend our Charter, dissolve, merge, or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

The Company's existing financing agreements limit, and any other financing agreements that the Company enters into in the future will likely limit, the Company's ability to pay cash dividends. Specifically, the Company may pay cash dividends and make other distributions based on a formula derived from Funds from Operations (See "Item 7.

The following graph provides a comparison, from December 31, 2001 through December 31, 2006, of the yearly percentage change in the cumulative total stockholder return (assuming reinvestment of dividends) of the Company, the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500 Index, the S&P Midcap 400 Index and the NAREIT All Equity REIT Index (the "NAREIT Index"), an industry index of publicly-traded REITs (including the Company). The Company is providing the S&P Midcap 400 Index since it is now a company within such Index.
The graph assumes that the value of the investment in each of the Company's common stock and the indices was $100 at the beginning of the period. The graph further assumes the reinvestment of dividends.
Upon written request directed to the Secretary of the Company, the Company will provide any stockholder with a list of the REITs included in the NAREIT Index. The historical information set forth below is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Redevelopment:
The grand opening of the first phase of Twenty Ninth Street, an 817,085 square foot shopping district in Boulder, Colorado, took place on October 13, 2006. The balance of the project is scheduled for completion in the Summer 2007. Phase I of the project is 93% leased. Recent store openings include Borders Books, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Helly Hansen, Lady Foot Locker, lululemon, and Solstice Sunglass Boutique. Wild Oats has also opened their corporate headquarters at this project. Recent lease commitments include Anthropologie, Sephora, Cantina Laredo, Jamba Juice and North Face.
On November 1, 2006, the Company received Phoenix City Council approval to add up to five mixed-use towers of up to 165 feet at Biltmore Fashion Park. Biltmore Fashion Park is an established luxury destination for first-to-market, high-end and luxury tenants in the metropolitan Phoenix market. The mixed-use towers are planned to be built over time based upon demand.
Groundbreaking took place on February 6, 2007 for the 230,000 square foot life style expansion at The Oaks in Thousand Oaks, California. Plans also call for the remodeling of both the interior spaces and the exterior façade, and will include a new 138,000 square foot Nordstrom scheduled to open at the Center in Fall 2008. New tenants include Abercrombie Kids, Forever 21, Forth & Towne, Guess?, J. Crew, Iridesse, Planet Funk and Solstice
The Macerich Company 43
Sunglass Boutique. The combined expansion and renovation of the center is projected to cost approximately $250 million and be completed in Fall 2008.
The first phase of SanTan Village, a $205 million regional shopping center under construction in Gilbert, Arizona, is scheduled to open in Fall 2007. The center, currently 85% leased, is an open-air streetscape that will contain in excess of 1.2 million square feet on 120 acres. More than 35 tenants have committed to date, including Dillard's, Harkins Theatres, Aeropostale, American Eagle Outfitters, Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, Apple, Banana Republic, Best Buy, Blue Wasabi, The Body Shop, The Buckle, Charlotte Russe, Chico's, The Children's Place, Coach, Coldwater Creek, The Disney Store, Eddie Bauer, J. Jill, Lane Bryant/Cacique, lucy, PacSun, Soma by Chico's, Swarovski Crystals, Victoria's Secret, Weisfield's Jewelers, White House/Black Market and Z Gallerie.
Construction began in late 2006 on The Promenade at Casa Grande, a $135 million, 1.0 million-square-foot regional shopping center in Arizona's fastest-growing county. Located in Casa Grande, Pinal County, the center will be located along the I-10 corridor between Phoenix and Tucson. The project is 85% committed, including anchors Target and JC Penney, and will deliver shopping, dining and entertainment options to a key growth corridor. Phase I of the project, which will include a combination of large-format retailers, specialty shops and restaurants, is scheduled for completion in Fall 2007. Phase II is comprised of small shops and is scheduled to open in March 2008. The Promenade at Casa Grande is 51% owned by the Company.
On January 22, 2007, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved plans for a transit-oriented development at Tysons Corner Center in McLean, Virginia. The expansion will add 3.5 million square feet of mixed-use space to the existing 2.2 million square foot regional shopping center. The project is planned to be built in phases over the next 10 years based on market demand and the expansion of the area's light rail system. Completion of the entitlement process for Phase I, totaling roughly 1.4 million square feet, is anticipated for the first quarter of 2008. The first phase of the project is anticipated to begin development in late 2009.
In late 2006, plans were announced to bring Barneys New York Department Store to Scottsdale Fashion Square, replacing one of the anchor spaces acquired as a result of the Federated-May merger. Demolition of the vacant space and adjoining parking structure will begin in 2007, allowing for construction of an additional 100,000 square feet of new shop space and the 65,000-square-foot Barneys New York location. This store is anticipated to open in Fall 2009.
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 using an annual multiple of increases in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). In addition, about 6%-13% of the leases expire each year, 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, historically the majority of the leases required the tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses. In January 2005, the Company began entering into leases that require tenants to pay a stated amount for operating expenses, generally excluding property taxes, regardless of the expenses actually incurred at any center. This change shifts the burden of cost control to the Company.
44 The Macerich Company
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 and the majority of percentage rent is recognized in the fourth quarter. As a result of the above, earnings are generally higher in the fourth quarter.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
Some of these estimates and assumptions include judgments on revenue recognition, estimates for common area maintenance and real estate tax accruals, provisions for uncollectible accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, the allocation of purchase price between tangible and intangible assets, and estimates for environmental matters. The Company's significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the following policies are deemed to be critical.
Revenue Recognition
Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term 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." Currently, 40% of the mall and freestanding leases contain provisions for CPI rent increases periodically throughout the term of the lease. The Company believes that using an annual multiple of CPI increases, rather than fixed contractual rent increases, results in revenue recognition that more closely matches the cash revenue from each lease and will provide more consistent rent growth throughout the term of the leases. Percentage rents are recognized when the tenants' specified sales targets have been met. Estimated recoveries from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred.
Property
Costs related to the development, redevelopment, construction and improvement of properties are capitalized. Interest incurred on development, redevelopment and construction projects is capitalized until construction is substantially complete.
Maintenance and repairs expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Costs for major replacements and betterments, which includes HVAC equipment, roofs, parking lots, etc., are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Gains and losses are recognized upon disposal or retirement of the related assets and are reflected in earnings.
The Macerich Company 45
Property is recorded at cost and is depreciated using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings and improvements | 5-40 years | |
Tenant improvements | 5-7 years | |
Equipment and furnishings | 5-7 years | |
Accounting for Acquisitions
The Company accounts for all acquisitions in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations." The Company will first determine the value of the land and buildings utilizing an "as if vacant" methodology. The Company will then assign a fair value to any debt assumed at acquisition. The balance of the purchase price will be allocated to tenant improvements and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities. Tenant improvements represent the tangible assets associated with the existing leases valued on a fair market value basis at the acquisition date prorated over the remaining lease terms. The tenant improvements are classified as an asset under real estate investments and are depreciated over the remaining lease terms. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities relate to the value of in-place operating leases which come in three forms: (i) leasing commissions and legal costs, which represent the value associated with "cost avoidance" of acquiring in-place leases, such as lease commissions paid under terms generally experienced in the Company's markets; (ii) value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated loss of revenue and of costs incurred for the period required to lease the "assumed vacant" property to the occupancy level when purchased; and (iii) above or below market value of in-place leases, which represents the difference between the contractual rents and market rents at the time of the acquisition, discounted for tenant credit risks. Leasing commissions and legal costs are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and are amortized over the remaining lease terms. The value of in-place leases are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and amortized over the remaining lease terms plus an estimate of renewal of the acquired leases. Above or below market leases are classified in deferred charges and other assets or in other accrued liabilities, depending on whether the contractual terms are above or below market, and the asset or liability is amortized to rental revenue over the remaining terms of the leases.
When the Company acquires real estate properties, the Company allocates the purchase price to the components of these acquisitions using relative fair values computed using its estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions impact the amount of costs allocated between various components as well as the amount of costs assigned to individual properties in multiple property acquisitions. These allocations also impact depreciation expense and gains or loses recorded on future sales of properties. Generally, the Company engages a valuation firm to assist with these allocations.
Asset Impairment
The Company assesses whether there has been 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 tenant's ability to perform their duties and pay rent under the terms of the leases. The Company may recognize impairment losses if the cash flows are not sufficient to cover its investment. Such a loss would be determined as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of a center.
46 The Macerich Company
Deferred Charges
Costs relating to obtaining tenant leases are deferred and amortized over the initial term of the agreement using the straight-line method. Costs relating to financing of shopping center properties are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. In-place lease values are amortized over the remaining lease term plus an estimate of renewal. Leasing commissions and legal costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the individual remaining lease years. The ranges of the terms of the agreements are as follows:
Deferred lease costs | 1-15 years | |
Deferred financing costs | 1-15 years | |
In-place lease values | Remaining lease term plus an estimate for renewal | |
Leasing commissions and legal costs | 5-10 years | |
Many of the variations in the results of operations, discussed below, occurred due to the transactions described above including the 2006 Acquisition Centers, 2005 Acquisition Centers, 2004 Acquisition Centers and Redevelopment Centers. For the comparison of the year ended December 31, 2006 to the year ended December 31, 2005, "Same Centers" include all consolidated Centers, excluding 2006 Acquisition Centers, 2005 Acquisition Centers and Redevelopment Centers. For the comparison of the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2004, "Same Centers" include all consolidated Centers, except the 2005 Acquisition Centers, 2004 Acquisition Centers and Redevelopment Centers.
For the comparison of the year ended December 31, 2006 to the year ended December 31, 2005, "Redevelopment Centers" include Twenty Ninth Street, Santa Monica Place and Westside Pavilion.

For comparison of the year ended December 31, 2006 to the year ended December 31, 2005, Kierland Commons, Metrocenter Mall, Ridgmar Mall and Tysons Center are referred to herein as the "Joint Venture Acquisition Centers." For the comparison of the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2004, Biltmore Fashion Square, Inland Center and NorthPark Center are also included in the "Joint Venture Acquisition Centers". Unconsolidated joint ventures are reflected using the equity method of accounting. The Company's pro rata share of the results from these Centers is reflected in the results of operations in the income statement line item entitled "Equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures."
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
Revenues
Minimum and percentage rents (collectively referred to as "rental revenue") increased by $65.8 million or 14.7% from 2005 to 2006. Approximately $43.5 million of the increase in rental revenue related to the 2005 Acquisition Centers, $11.9 million was related to the 2006 Acquisition Centers and $9.9 million was related to the Same Centers due in part to an increase in lease termination income of $7.2 million compared to 2005 at the Same Centers. These increases are offset in part by a decrease in rental revenue of $0.5 million at the Redevelopment Centers.
The Macerich Company 47
The amount of straight-lined rents, included in rental revenue, was $7.8 million in 2006 compared to $6.7 million in 2005. This increase is primarily due to the 2006 Acquisition Centers.
The amortization of above and below market leases, which is recorded in rental revenue, increased to $13.1 million in 2006 from $11.6 million in 2005. The increase in amortization is primarily due to the 2005 Acquisition Centers and 2006 Acquisition Centers.
Tenant recoveries increased $39.7 million or 18.5% from 2005 to 2006. Approximately $23.0 million of the increase in tenant recoveries related to the 2005 Acquisition Centers, $5.1 million related to the 2006 Acquisition Centers and $12.4 million related to the Same Centers due to an increase in recoverable shopping center expenses. The increase in tenant recoveries was offset in part by a decrease of $0.9 million at the Redevelopment Centers.
Management Companies' Revenues
Management Companies' revenues increased by $5.3 million from 2005 to 2006, primarily due to increased management fees received from the Joint Venture Acquisition Centers, third party management contracts and increased development fees from joint ventures.
Shopping Center and Operating Expenses
Shopping center and operating expenses increased $38.2 million or 17.1% from 2005 to 2006. Approximately $25.6 million of the increase in shopping center and operating expenses related to the 2005 Acquisition Centers, $5.0 million related to the 2006 Acquisition Centers and $8.0 million related to the Same Centers offset in part by a $0.5 million decrease at the Redevelopment Centers.
Management Companies' Operating Expenses
Management Companies' operating expenses increased to $56.7 million in 2006 from $52.8 million in 2005, primarily as a result of the additional costs of managing the Joint Venture Acquisition Centers and third party managed properties.
REIT General and Administrative Expenses
REIT general and administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million in 2006 from 2005, primarily due to increased share-based compensation expense in 2006.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $31.1 million in 2006 from 2005. The increase is primarily attributed to the 2005 Acquisition Centers of $17.8 million, the 2006 Acquisition Centers of $6.2 million and the Same Centers of $7.4 million.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $37.6 million in 2006 from 2005. Approximately $13.8 million of the increase relates to the term loan associated with the 2005 Acquisition Centers, $12.4 million relates to assumed debt from the 2005 Acquisition Centers, $5.3 million relates to the 2006 Acquisition Centers, $13.3 million relates to increased borrowings and higher interest rates under the Company's line of credit, $6.7 million relates to higher interest rates on the $250 million term loan and approximately $8.9 million relates to increased interest expense due to
48 The Macerich Company
refinancings and higher rates on floating rate debt regarding the Same Centers. These increases were offset in part by an approximately $1.3 million decrease in interest expense at the Redevelopment Centers and $21.6 million relating to the pay off of the acquisition loan associated with the 2005 Acquisition Centers. Additionally, capitalized interest was $14.9 million in 2006, up from $10.0 million in 2005.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures increased $9.7 million in 2006 from 2005. Approximately $6.5 million of the increase relates to increased income from the Joint Venture Acquisition Centers, increased net income of $3.3 million from the Pacific Premier Retail Trust joint venture due to increased rental revenue and $4.6 million from other joint ventures due to increased rental revenues. This is partly offset by a $4.7 million increase in interest expense from the SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. joint venture (See "Item 1. Business Recent Developments Financing Activities").
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
The Company recorded a loss from the early extinguishment of debt of $1.8 million in 2006 related to the pay off of the $619 million acquisition loan on January 19, 2006. In 2005, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.7 relating to the refinancing of the mortgage note payable on Valley View Mall.
Discontinued Operations
The increase of $202.1 million in discontinued operations relates to the gain on sales of Scottsdale/101, Park Lane Mall, Holiday Village, Greeley Mall, Great Falls Marketplace, Citadel Mall, Crossroads Mall and Northwest Arkansas Mall in 2006 (See "Management's Overview and Summary Acquisitions and dispositions"). As result of the sales, the Company reclassified the results of operations for these properties for 2006 and 2005.
Minority Interest in the Operating Partnership
The minority interest in the Operating Partnership represents the 15.8% weighted average interest of the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company during 2006 compared to the 19.0% not owned by the Company during 2005. The change is primarily due to the stock offering by the Company in January 2006.
Funds From Operations
Primarily as a result of the factors mentioned above, Funds from Operations ("FFO") Diluted increased 13.7% to $383.1 million in 2006 from $336.8 million in 2005. For the reconciliation of FFO and FFO-diluted to net income available to common stockholders, see "Funds from Operations."
Operating Activities
Cash flow from operations decreased to $211.9 million in 2006 from $235.3 million in 2005. The decrease is primarily due to changes in assets and liabilities in 2006 compared to 2005 and due to the results at the Centers as discussed above.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities decreased to $126.7 million in 2006 from $131.9 million in 2005. The decrease is primarily attributed to the cash used to acquire the 2006 Acquisition Centers and increases in development and redevelopment costs at the Centers. This is offset by $610.6 million in proceeds from the sale of assets in 2006 (See "Management's Overview and Summary Acquisitions and dispositions").
The Macerich Company 49
Financing Activities
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $29.2 million in 2006 compared to cash used in financing activities of $20.3 million in 2005. The increase is primarily attributed to the net proceeds of $746.8 million from the stock offering in January 2006 offset in part by a reduction of debt of in 2006 compared to 2005.
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
Revenues

Approximately $92.9 million of the increase relates to the 2005 Acquisition Centers, $21.6 million relates to the 2004 Acquisition Centers and $24.0 million primarily relates to the Redevelopment Centers. The increase in rental revenue was offset by a decrease at the Same Centers of $1.1 million.
The amount of straight-lined rents, included in rental revenue, was $6.7 million in 2005 compared to $1.0 million in 2004. This increase in straight-lining of rents relates to the 2005 Acquisition Centers and the 2004 Acquisition Centers which is offset by decreases resulting from the Company structuring the majority of its new leases using an annual multiple of CPI increases, which generally do not require straight-lining treatment.
The amortization of above and below market leases, which is recorded in minimum rents, increased to $11.6 million in 2005 from $9.2 million in 2004. The increase is primarily due to the 2005 Acquisition Centers and the 2004 Acquisition Centers.

These increases are offset in part by a $4.6 million decrease related to the payoff of the $250 million term loan on July 30, 2004. Additionally, capitalized interest was $10.0 million in 2005, down from $8.9 million in 2004.
Equity in Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures was $76.3 million for 2005, compared to $54.9 million in 2004. This primarily relates to increased net income from the 2005 and 2004 Joint Venture Acquisition Centers of $13.7 million. Included in the equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures is the Company's pro rata share of straight-line rents, which increased to $4.8 million in 2005 from $1.0 million in 2004.
Gain on Sale of Assets
In 2005, a gain of $1.3 million was recorded relating to land sales compared to a $0.5 million gain on land sales in 2004.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
In 2005, the Company recorded a loss from early extinguishment of debt of $1.7 million related to the refinancing of the Valley View Mall loan. In 2004, the Company recorded a loss from early extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million related to the payoff of a loan at one of the Redevelopment Centers and the payoff of the $250 million term loan on July 30, 2004.
Discontinued Operations
The gain on sale of $0.3 million in 2005 relates primarily to the sale of Arizona Lifestyle Galleries on January 5, 2005. In 2004, the gain on sale primarily related to the $6.8 million gain from the sale of the Westbar property on December 16, 2004. The decrease in income from discontinued operations relates to the Westbar property. As a result of sales of properties in 2006, the Company reclassified the results of operations for these properties in 2005 and 2004.
Minority Interest in the Operating Partnership
The minority interest in the Operating Partnership represents the 19.0% weighted average interest of the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company during 2005. This compares to 19.5% not owned by the Company during 2004.
The Macerich Company 51
Funds From Operations
Primarily as a result of the factors mentioned above, FFO Diluted increased 12.6% to $336.8 million in 2005 from $299.2 million in 2004. For the reconciliation of FFO and FFO diluted to net income available to common stockholders, see "Funds from Operations."
Operating Activities
Cash flow from operations was $235.3 million in 2005 compared to $213.2 million in 2004. The increase is primarily due to the foregoing results at the Centers and offset by an increase in working capital.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $131.9 million in 2005 compared to $489.8 million in 2004. The change resulted primarily from increases in distributions of capital from unconsolidated joint ventures. This is offset by the joint venture acquisitions of Metrocenter and Kierland Commons, the Company's additional contributions to NorthPark Center and the decreased development, redevelopment, expansion and renovation of Centers in 2005 compared to 2004 due to completion of the Queens Center and La Encantada projects.
Financing Activities
Cash flow used in financing activities was $20.3 million in 2005 compared to cash flow provided by financing activities of $308.4 million in 2004. The 2005 decrease compared to 2004 resulted primarily from fewer refinancings for 2005 than 2004 and increased dividend payments to common stockholders. Additionally, the funding of the Queens construction loan was $65.7 million less in 2005 compared to 2004 due to the substantial completion of the expansion project.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company intends to meet its short term liquidity requirements through cash generated from operations, working capital reserves, property secured borrowings, unsecured corporate borrowings and borrowings under the revolving line of credit. 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.

Management expects similar levels to be incurred in future years for tenant allowances and deferred leasing charges and to incur between $400 million to $600 million in 2007 for development, redevelopment, expansion and renovations. Capital for major expenditures or major developments and 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 level, interest rates, interest coverage ratios and prevailing market conditions.
The Company's total outstanding loan indebtedness at December 31, 2006 was $6.6 billion (including $1.7 billion of 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, MACWH, LP units and preferred stock into common stock) ratio of approximately 45.5% at December 31, 2006. The majority of the Company's debt consists of fixed-rate conventional mortgages payable collateralized by individual properties.
The Company has filed a shelf registration statement, effective June 6, 2002, to sell securities. The shelf registration is for a total of $1.0 billion of common stock, common stock warrant or common stock rights. The Company sold a total of 15.2 million shares of common stock under this shelf registration on November 27, 2002. The aggregate offering price of this transaction was approximately $440.2 million, leaving approximately $559.8 million available under the shelf registration statement. In addition, the Company filed another shelf registration statement, effective October 27, 2003, to sell up to $300 million of preferred stock. On January 12, 2006, the Company filed a shelf registration statement registering an unspecified amount of common stock that it may offer in the future.
On January 19, 2006, the Company issued 10.9 million shares of common stock for net proceeds of $746.5 million. The net proceeds were used to pay off the $619.0 million acquisition loan and to pay down the line of credit pending use to pay part of the cash purchase price of Valley River Center.
The Macerich Company 53
On May 10, 2006, the SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. joint venture completed a refinancing of its portfolio debt. The joint venture paid off approximately $625.0 million of floating and fixed rate debt with an average interest rate of approximately 6.50%. This debt was replaced by a series of seven new ten-year mortgage notes payable totaling $796.5 million with an average interest rate of 5.81%. The Company's pro rata share of the net proceeds of approximately $85.5 million was used to pay down the Company's line of credit.
The Company had a $1.0 billion revolving line of credit that was set to mature on July 30, 2007 plus a one-year extension. The interest rate fluctuated from LIBOR plus 1.15% to LIBOR plus 1.70% depending on the Company's overall leverage level. On July 20, 2006, the Company amended and expanded the revolving line of credit to $1.5 billion and extended the maturity to April 25, 2010 with a one-year extension option. The interest rate, after amendment, will fluctuate from LIBOR plus 1.0% to LIBOR plus 1.35% depending on the Company's overall leverage. In September 2006, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixed the interest rate on $400.0 million of the outstanding balance of the line of credit at 6.23% until April 25, 2011. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, borrowings outstanding were $934.5 million and $863.0 million at an average interest rate, net of the $400.0 million swapped portion, of 6.60% and 5.93%, respectively.
On May 13, 2003, the Company issued $250.0 million in unsecured notes maturing in May 2007 with a one-year extension option bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.50%. On April 25, 2005, concurrent with the Wilmorite acquisition, the Company modified these unsecured notes and reduced the interest rate to LIBOR plus 1.50%. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the entire $250.0 million of notes were outstanding at an interest rate of 6.94% and 6.0%, respectively. The Company had an interest rate swap agreement which effectively fixed the interest rate at 4.45% from November 2003 to October 13, 2005.
On April 25, 2005, concurrent with the Wilmorite acquisition, the Company obtained a five year, $450.0 million term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%. In November 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixed the interest rate of the $450.0 million term loan at 6.30% from December 1, 2005 to April 15, 2010. At December 31, 2006 and 2005 the entire loan was outstanding with an interest rate of 6.30%.
On December 29, 2006, the Company sold Citadel Mall, Crossroads Mall and Northwest Arkansas Mall in a combined sale for $373.8 million. The net proceeds from these sales were used to pay down the Company's line of credit and to pay off the $75.0 million loan on Paradise Valley Mall on January 2, 2007.
At December 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants.
At December 31, 2006, the Company had cash and cash equivalents available of $269.4 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has an ownership interest in a number of joint ventures as detailed in Note 4 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. The Company accounts for those investments that it does not have a controlling interest or is not the primary beneficiary using the equity method of accounting and those investments are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company as "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." A pro rata share of the mortgage debt on these properties is shown in Item 2. PropertiesMortgage Debt.

In addition, certain joint ventures also have debt that could become recourse debt to the Company or its subsidiaries, in excess of it's pro rata share, should the joint ventures be unable to discharge the obligations of the related debt.
The following reflects the maximum amount of debt principal that could recourse to the Company at December 31, 2006 (in thousands):

The above amounts decreased $13.1 million from December 31, 2005.
Additionally, as of December 31, 2006, the Company is contingently liable for $6.1 million in letters of credit guaranteeing performance by the Company of certain obligations relating to the Centers. The Company does not believe that these letters of credit will result in a liability to the Company.

Funds From Operations
The Company uses Funds from Operations ("FFO") in addition to net income to report its operating and financial results and considers FFO and FFO diluted as supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") measures. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciated operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO and FFO on a fully diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and financial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization as the
The Macerich Company 55
Company believes real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. FFO on a fully diluted basis is one of the measures investors find most useful in measuring the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities. FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts. The reconciliation of FFO and FFO diluted to net income available to common stockholders is provided below.

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 ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt to total debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level, (2) reducing interest rate exposure on certain long-term floating rate debt through the use of interest rate caps and/or swaps 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.

Interest rate cap agreements ("Cap") offer protection against floating rates on the notional amount from exceeding the rates noted in the above schedule and interest rate swap agreements ("Swap") effectively replace a floating rate on the notional amount with a fixed rate as noted above.
In addition, the Company has assessed the market risk for its floating rate debt and believes that a 1% increase in interest rates would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $13.8 million per year based on $1.4 billion outstanding of floating rate debt at December 31, 2006.
The fair value of the Company's long term debt is estimated based on discounted cash flows at interest rates that management believes reflect the risks associated with long term debt of similar risk and duration.

Refer to the Index to Financial Statements and Financial Statement Schedules for the required information appearing in Item 15.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
However, based on their evaluation as of December 31, 2006, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, the Company's management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control Integrated Framework. The Company's management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, its internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte and Touche LLP, has issued an audit report on management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, which is included herein.
The Macerich Company 59
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
The Macerich Company
Santa Monica, California
We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that The Macerich Company and its subsidiaries (the "Company") maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
60 The Macerich Company
In our opinion, management's assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, of the Company and our report dated February 27, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedules.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
The Macerich Company
Santa Monica, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Macerich Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, common stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. Our audits also included the Company's consolidated financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(4). These consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedules based on our audits. We did not audit the consolidated financial statements or the consolidated financial statements of SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. (the "Partnership"), the Company's investment in which is reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The Company's equity of $50,696,000 and $142,102,000 in the Partnership's net assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $11,197,000, $15,537,000 and $16,499,000 in the Partnership's net income for the three years ended December 31, 2006 are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such financial 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 such other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, such 2006, 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Macerich Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, such consolidated financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 27, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

THE MACERICH COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Organization:
The Macerich Company (the "Company") is involved in the acquisition, ownership, development, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional and community shopping centers (the "Centers") located throughout the United States.
The Company commenced operations effective with the completion of its initial public offering on March 16, 1994. As of December 31, 2006, the Company is the sole general partner of and assuming conversion of the preferred units holds an 84% 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 16% 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 Company's management companies, Macerich Property Management Company, LLC, ("MPMC, LLC") a single member Delaware limited liability company, Macerich Management Company ("MMC"), a California corporation, Westcor Partners, L.L.C., a single member Arizona limited liability company, Macerich Westcor Management LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company and Westcor Partners of Colorado, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company. As part of the Wilmorite closing (See Note 12 Acquisitions), the Company acquired MACW Mall Management, Inc., a New York corporation and MACW Property Management, LLC, a New York single member limited liability company. These two management companies are collectively referred to herein as the "Wilmorite Management Companies." The three Westcor management companies are collectively referred to herein as the "Westcor Management Companies." All seven of the management companies are collectively referred to herein as the "Management Companies."
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of Presentation:
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. Investments in entities that are controlled by the Company or meet the definition of a variable interest entity in which an enterprise absorbs the majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of the entity's expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity are consolidated; otherwise they are accounted for under the equity method and are reflected as "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures". All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
72 The Macerich Company
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, for which cost approximates fair value. Restricted cash includes impounds of property taxes and other capital reserves required under the loan agreements.
Tenant Receivables:
Included in tenant receivables are allowances for doubtful accounts of $2,700 and $4,588 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Also included in tenant receivables are accrued percentage rents of $11,086 and $11,423 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Revenues:
Minimum rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term 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 $7,759, $6,703 and $1,037 due to the straight-lining of rent adjustment during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Percentage rents are recognized and accrued when tenants' specified sales targets have been met.
Estimated recoveries from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred.
The Management Companies provide property management, leasing, corporate, development, redevelopment and acquisition 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 6% of the gross monthly rental revenue of the properties managed.
Property:
Costs related to the development, redevelopment, construction and improvement of properties are capitalized. Interest incurred on development, redevelopment and construction projects is capitalized until construction is substantially complete.
Maintenance and repairs expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Costs for major replacements and betterments, which includes HVAC equipment, roofs, parking lots, etc., are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Gains and losses are recognized upon disposal or retirement of the related assets and are reflected in earnings.
The Macerich Company 73
Property is recorded at cost and is depreciated using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings and improvements | 5-40 years | |
Tenant improvements | 5-7 years | |
Equipment and furnishings | 5-7 years | |
Acquisitions:
The Company accounts for all acquisitions in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations." The Company will first determine the value of the land and buildings utilizing an "as if vacant" methodology. The Company will then assign a fair value to any debt assumed at acquisition. The balance of the purchase price will be allocated to tenant improvements and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities. Tenant improvements represent the tangible assets associated with the existing leases valued on a fair market value basis at the acquisition date prorated over the remaining lease terms. The tenant improvements are classified as an asset under real estate investments and are depreciated over the remaining lease terms. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities relate to the value of in-place operating leases which come in three forms: (i) leasing commissions and legal costs, which represent the value associated with "cost avoidance" of acquiring in-place leases, such as lease commissions paid under terms generally experienced in the Company's markets; (ii) value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated loss of revenue and of costs incurred for the period required to lease the "assumed vacant" property to the occupancy level when purchased; and (iii) above or below market value of in-place leases, which represents the difference between the contractual rents and market rents at the time of the acquisition, discounted for tenant credit risks. Leasing commissions and legal costs are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and are amortized over the remaining lease terms. The value of in-place leases are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and amortized over the remaining lease terms plus an estimate of renewal of the acquired leases. Above or below market leases are classified in deferred charges and other assets or in other accrued liabilities, depending on whether the contractual terms are above or below market, and the asset or liability is amortized to rental revenue over the remaining terms of the leases.
When the Company acquires real estate properties, the Company allocates the purchase price to the components of these acquisitions using relative fair values computed using its estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions impact the amount of costs allocated between various components as well as the amount of costs assigned to individual properties in multiple property acquisitions. These allocations also impact depreciation expense and gains or losses recorded on future sales of properties. Generally, the Company engages a valuation firm to assist with these allocations.
74 The Macerich Company
Marketable Securities:
The Company accounts for its investments in marketable securities as held-to-maturity debt securities under the provisions of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," as the Company has the intent and the ability to hold these securities until maturity. Accordingly, investments in marketable securities are carried at their amortized cost. The discount on marketable securities is amortized into interest income on a straight-line basis over the term of the notes, which approximates the effective interest method.
Deferred Charges:
Costs relating to obtaining tenant leases are deferred and amortized over the initial term of the agreement using the straight-line method. Costs relating to financing of shopping center properties are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. In-place lease values are amortized over the remaining lease term plus an estimate of renewal. Leasing commissions and legal costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the individual lease years.
The range of the terms of the agreements is as follows:
Deferred lease costs | 1-15 years | |
Deferred financing costs | 1-15 years | |
In-place lease values | Remaining lease term plus an estimate for renewal | |
Leasing commissions and legal costs | 5-10 years | |
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets:
The Company assesses whether there has been impairment in the value of its long-lived assets by considering 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 determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by an undiscounted cash flows analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets. Long-lived assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Management does not believe impairment has occurred in its net property carrying values at December 31, 2006 or 2005.
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
The Macerich Company 75
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.
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.
No Center or tenant generated more than 10% of total revenues during 2006, 2005 or 2004.
The Limited represented 3.5%, 4.1% and 3.6% of total minimum rents in place as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and no other retailer represented more than 2.9%, 3.6% and 3.2% of total minimum rents as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, 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. In the year ending December 31, 2004, the Company changed its estimate for common area expense recoveries applicable to prior periods. This change in estimate resulted in a $4,129 charge for the year ending December 31, 2004.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123 (revised), "Share-Based Payment." SFAS No. 123(R) requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The Company adopted this statement as of January 1, 2006. See Note 16 Share-Based Plans, for the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on the results of operations.
In March 2005, FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 ("FIN 47"), "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations an interpretation of SFAS No. 143." FIN 47, requires that a liability be recognized for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be reasonably estimated. As a result of the Company's adoption of FIN 47, the Company recorded an additional liability of $615 in 2005. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company's liability for retirement obligations was $414 and $1,163, respectively.
76 The Macerich Company
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140." This statement amended SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. This statement also established a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 155 for fiscal year 2007 and does not expect its adoption to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of previously recognized income tax benefits, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 157 for fiscal year 2008 and does not expect its adoption to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108. SAB No. 108 establishes a framework for quantifying materiality of financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 16, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
3. Earnings per Share ("EPS"):
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, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes the effect of dilutive securities calculated using the treasury stock method. The OP Units not held by the Company have been included in the diluted EPS calculation since they may be redeemable on a one-for-one basis, at the Company's option.

Significant accounting policies used by the unconsolidated joint ventures are similar to those used by the Company. Included in mortgage notes payable are amounts due to affiliates of Northwestern Mutual Life ("NML") of $132,170 and $137,954 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively. NML is considered a related party because they are a joint venture partner with the Company in Macerich Northwestern Associates. Interest expense incurred on these borrowings amounted to $9,082, $9,422 and $9,814 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company recognizes all derivatives in the consolidated financial statements and measures the derivatives at fair value. The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage or reduce its exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates. The Company designs its hedges to be effective in reducing the risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. Any instrument that meets the cash flow hedging criteria in SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," is formally designated as a
The Macerich Company 85
cash flow hedge at the inception of the derivative contract. On an ongoing quarterly basis, the Company adjusts its balance sheet to reflect the current fair value of its derivatives. To the extent they are effective, changes in fair value of derivatives are recorded in comprehensive income. Ineffective portions, if any, are included in net income. No ineffectiveness was recorded in net income during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 or 2004. If any derivative instrument used for risk management does not meet the hedging criteria, it is marked-to-market each period in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2006, five of the Company's derivative instruments were not designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in the market value of these derivative instruments will be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had $1,252 and $2,762, respectively, reflected in other comprehensive income related to treasury rate locks settled in prior years. The Company reclassified $1,510, $1,351 and $1,351 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, related to treasury rate lock transactions settled in prior years from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings. It is anticipated that the remaining $1,252 will be reclassified during the following year.
Interest rate swap and cap agreements are purchased by the Company from third parties to manage the risk of interest rate changes on some of the Company's floating rate debt. Payments received as a result of these agreements are recorded as a reduction of interest expense. The fair value of the instrument is included in deferred charges and other assets if the fair value is an asset or in other accrued liabilities if the fair value is a deficit. The Company recorded other comprehensive income (loss) of $743, ($2,356) and $2,076 related to the marking-to-market of interest rate swap/cap agreements for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The amount expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months will be immaterial.

10. Bank and Other Notes Payable:
The Company had a $1,000,000 revolving line of credit that was set to mature on July 30, 2007 plus a one-year extension. On July 20, 2006, the Company amended and expanded the revolving line of credit to $1,500,000 and extended the maturity to April 25, 2010 with a one-year extension option. The interest rate, after amendment, fluctuated from LIBOR plus 1.0% to LIBOR plus 1.35% depending on the Company's overall leverage. In September 2006, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixed the interest rate on $400,000 of the outstanding balance of the line of credit at 6.23% until April 25, 2011. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, borrowings outstanding were $934,500 and $863,000 at an average interest rate, net of the $400,000 swapped portion, of 6.60% and 5.93%, respectively.
The Macerich Company 93
On May 13, 2003, the Company issued $250,000 in unsecured notes maturing in May 2007 with a one-year extension option bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.50%.

The Company had an interest rate swap agreement from November 2003 to October 13, 2005, which effectively fixed the LIBOR rate at 4.45%. On April 25, 2005, the Company modified the notes and reduced the interest rate from LIBOR plus 2.5% to LIBOR plus 1.5%.
On April 25, 2005, concurrent with the Wilmorite acquisition (See Note 12 Acquisitions), the Company obtained a five-year, $450,000 term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.50% and a $650,000 acquisition loan which had a term of up to two years and bore interest initially at LIBOR plus 1.60%. In November 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixed the interest rate of the $450,000 term loan at 6.30% from December 1, 2005 to April 25, 2010. At December 31, 2005, the entire term loan and $619,000 of the acquisition loan were outstanding with interest rates of 6.30% and 6.04%, respectively. On January 19, 2006, concurrent with a stock offering (See Note 20 Stock Offering), the acquisition loan was paid off in full, resulting in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1,782. As of December 31, 2006, the entire term loan was outstanding with an interest rate of 6.30%.
On July 27, 2006, concurrent with the sale of Greeley Mall (See Note 13 Discontinued Operations), the Company provided marketable securities to replace Greeley Mall as collateral for the mortgage note payable on the property. As a result of this transaction, the debt has been reclassified to bank and other notes payable. This note bears interest at 6.18% and matures in September 2013. As of December 31, 2006, the note had a balance outstanding of $28,281.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants.

12. Acquisitions:
The Company has completed the following acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:
Wilmorite:
On April 25, 2005, the Company and the Operating Partnership acquired Wilmorite Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Wilmorite") and Wilmorite Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Wilmorite Holdings"). The results of Wilmorite and Wilmorite Holding's operations have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since that date. Wilmorite's portfolio included interests in 11 regional malls and two open-air community shopping centers with 13.4 million square feet of space located in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Kentucky and Virginia.
The total purchase price was approximately $2,333,333, plus adjustments for working capital, including the assumption of approximately $877,174 of existing debt with an average interest rate of 6.43% and the issuance of $212,668 of participating convertible preferred units ("PCPUs"), $21,501 of non-participating convertible preferred units and $5,815 of common units in Wilmorite Holdings. The balance of the consideration to the equity holders of Wilmorite and Wilmorite Holdings was paid in cash, which was provided primarily by a five-year, $450,000 term loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.50% and a $650,000 acquisition loan which had a term of up to two years and bore interest initially at LIBOR plus 1.60%. In January 2006, the acquisition loan was paid off in full (See Note 10 Bank and Other Notes Payable). An affiliate of the Operating Partnership is the general partner, and together with other affiliates, own approximately 83% of Wilmorite Holdings, with the remaining 17% held by those limited partners of Wilmorite Holdings who elected to receive convertible preferred units or common units in Wilmorite Holdings rather than cash. The PCPUs can be redeemed, subject to certain conditions, for the portion of the Wilmorite portfolio that consists of Eastview Mall, Eastview Commons, Greece Ridge Center, Marketplace Mall and Pittsford Plaza. That right is exercisable during a period of three months beginning on August 31, 2007.
On an unaudited pro forma basis, reflecting the acquisition of Wilmorite as if it had occurred on January 1, 2004, the Company would have reflected net income available to common stockholders of $41,962 and $52,808, net income available to common stockholders on a diluted per share basis of $0.71 and $0.90 and total consolidated revenues of $832,152 and $750,205 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

In addition, the Company has a $24,000 letter of credit that serves as collateral to a liability assumed in the acquisition of Wilmorite (See Note 12Acquisitions).
100 The Macerich Company
16. Share-Based Plans:
The Company has established share-based compensation plans for the purpose of attracting and retaining executive officers, directors and key employees. In addition, the Company has established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") to allow employees to purchase the Company's common stock at a discount.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," to account for its share-based compensation plans using the modified-prospective method. Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. Under SFAS No. 123(R), an equity instrument is not recorded to common stockholders' equity until the related compensation expense is recorded over the requisite service period of the award. The Company records compensation expense on a straight-line basis for awards exclusive of the Long-Term Incentive Plan awards. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), and in accordance with the previous accounting guidance, the Company recognized compensation expense and an increase to additional paid in capital for the fair value of vested stock awards and stock options. In addition, the Company recognized compensation expense and a corresponding liability for the fair value of vested stock units issued under the Eligible Directors' Deferred Compensation/Phantom Stock Plan ("Directors' Phantom Stock Plan").
In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company determined that $6,000 included in other accrued liabilities at December 31, 2005, in connection with the Directors' Phantom Stock Plan, should be included in additional paid-in capital. Additionally, the Company reclassified $15,464 from the Unamortized Restricted Stock line item within equity to additional paid-in capital. The Company made these reclassifications during the year ended December 31, 2006.
2003 Equity Incentive Plan:
The 2003 Equity Incentive Plan ("2003 Plan") authorizes the grant of stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock units, stock bonuses, performance based awards, dividend equivalent rights and operating partnership units or other convertible or exchangeable units. As of December 31, 2006, only stock awards, limited operating partnership units and stock options have been granted under the 2003 Plan. All awards granted under the 2003 Plan have a term of 10 years or less. These awards were generally granted based on certain performance criteria for the Company and the employees. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2003 Plan is 6,000,000 shares. As of December 31, 2006, there were 5,134,664 shares available for issuance under the 2003 Plan.
The following stock awards, limited operating partnership units and stock options have been granted under the 2003 Plan:
Stock Awards
The outstanding stock awards vest over three years and the compensation cost related to the grants are determined by the market value at the grant date and are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line
The Macerich Company 101
basis. Stock awards are subject to restrictions determined by the Company's compensation committee. Stock awards have the same dividend and voting rights as common stock. Compensation cost for stock awards was $14,190, $11,528 and $8,394 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, there was $15,256 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of three years.
On October 31, 2006, as part of a separation agreement with a former executive, the Company accelerated the vesting of 34,829 shares of stock awards. As result of the accelerated vesting, the Company recognized an additional $610 in compensation cost.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Units
On October 26, 2006, The Macerich Company 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2006 LTIP"), a long-term incentive compensation program, was approved pursuant to the 2003 Plan. Under the 2006 LTIP, each award recipient is issued a new form of limited operating partnership units ("LTIP Units") in the Operating Partnership. The LTIP Units vest over a three-year period based on the percentile ranking of the Company in terms of total return to stockholders (the "Total Return") per common stock share relative to the Total Return of a group of peer REITs, as measured at the end of each year of the measurement period. Upon the occurence of specified events and subject to the satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions, LTIP Units are ultimately redeemable for common stock on a one-unit for one-share basis. LTIP Units receive cash dividends based on the dividend amount paid on the common stock. On October 26, 2006, the Company granted 215,709 LTIP Units to four executive officers at a weighted average grant date fair value of $80.04. None of the granted LTIP Units were vested at December 31, 2006. Compensation expense for LTIP Units was $685 for the year ended December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, there was $10,520 of unrecognized cost related to non-vested LTIP Units, which is expected to be recognized over the three years ending December 31, 2009 using the graded attribution method.
The fair value of the Company's LTIP Units was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The stock price of the Company, along with the stock prices of the group of peer REITs, was assumed to follow the Multivariate Geometric Brownian Motion Process. Multivariate Geometric Brownian Motion is a common assumption when modeling in financial markets, as it allows the modeled quantity (in this case, the stock price) to vary randomly from its current value and take any value greater than zero. The volatilities of the returns on the price of the Company and the peer group REITs were estimated based on a three year look-back period. The expected growth rate of the stock prices over the three year "derived service period" were determined with consideration of the three year risk free rate as of the grant date.
102 The Macerich Company
Stock Options
On October 8, 2003, the Company granted 2,500 stock options at a weighted average exercise price of $39.43. These outstanding stock options vested six months after the grant date and were issued with a strike price equal to the fair value of the common stock at the grant date. The term of these stock options is ten years from the grant date. The Company has not issued stock options since 2003. All outstanding stock options were fully vested as of December 31, 2004 and therefore, were not impacted by the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).
The following table summarizes the activity of non-vested stock awards during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:

Directors' Phantom Stock Plan:
The Directors' Phantom Stock Plan offers non-employee members of the board of directors ("Directors") the opportunity to defer their cash compensation and to receive that compensation in common stock rather than in cash after termination of service or a predetermined period. Compensation generally includes the annual retainer and regular meeting fees payable by the Company to the Directors. Every Director has elected to receive their compensation in common stock. Deferred amounts are credited as units of phantom stock at the beginning of
The Macerich Company 103
each three-year deferral period by dividing the present value of the deferred compensation by the average fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of award. Compensation expense related to the phantom stock award was determined by the amortization of the value of the stock units on a straight-line basis over the applicable three-year service period. The stock units (including dividend equivalents) vest as the Directors' services (to which the fees relate) are rendered. Vested phantom stock units are ultimately paid out in common stock on a one-unit for one-share basis. Stock units receive dividend equivalents in the form of additional stock units, based on the dividend amount paid on the common stock. Compensation expense for stock awards was $534, $1,128 and $1,750 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The aggregate number of phantom stock units that may be granted under the Directors' Phantom Stock Plan is 250,000. As of December 31, 2006, there were 131,084 units available for grant under the Directors' Phantom Stock Plan. As of December 31, 2006, there was no unrecognized cost related to non-vested phantom stock units.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan:
The ESPP authorizes eligible employees to purchase the Company's common stock through voluntary payroll deduction made during periodic offering periods. Under the plan, common stock is purchased at a 10% discount from the lesser of the fair value of common stock at the beginning and ending of the offering period. A maximum of 750,000 shares of common stock is available for purchase under the ESPP. The number of shares available for future purchase under the plan at December 31, 2006 was 732,821.

Other Share-Based Plans
Prior to the adoption of the 2003 Plan, the Company had several other share-based plans. Under these plans, 427,822 stock options were outstanding as of December 31, 2006. No additional shares may be issued under these plans. All stock options outstanding under these plans were fully vested as of December 31, 2005 and were, therefore, not impacted by the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). As of December 31, 2006, all of the outstanding shares are exercisable at a weighted average price of $24.07. The weighted average remaining contractual life for options outstanding and exercisable was three years.
17. Profit Sharing Plan:
The Company has a retirement profit sharing plan that covers substantially all of its 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. This plan was further amended effective February 1, 1999, to add The Macerich Company
Common Stock Fund as a new investment alternative under the plan. A total of 150,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the plan. Contributions by the Company to the plan were made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and were based upon a specified percentage of employee compensation. The Company contributed $1,694 during the year ended December 31, 2004. On January 1, 2004, the plan adopted the "Safe Harbor" provision under Sections 401(k)(12) and 401(m)(11) of the Internal Revenue Code. In accordance with these newly adopted provisions, the Company began matching contributions equal to 100 percent of the first three percent of compensation deferred by a participant and 50 percent of the next two percent of compensation deferred by a participant. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, these matching contributions made by the Company were $1,747 and $1,984, respectively. Contributions are recognized as compensation in the period they are made.
18. Deferred Compensation Plans:
The Company has established deferred compensation plans under which key executives of the Company may elect to defer receiving a portion of their cash compensation otherwise payable in one calendar year until a later year. The Company may, as determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion, credit a participant's account with an amount equal to a percentage of the participant's deferral. The Company contributed $712, $595 and $632 to the plans during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Contributions are recognized as compensation in the periods they are made.
In addition, certain executives have split dollar life insurance agreements with the Company whereby the Company generally pays annual premiums on a life insurance policy in an amount equal to the executives deferral under one of the Company's deferred compensation plans. Since July 30, 2002, the effective date of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company has not made any premium payments on the policies.
The Macerich Company 105
19. Income Taxes:
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code with its taxable year ended December 31, 1994. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders. It is management's current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company's REIT status. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on net income it distributes currently to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income, if any.
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.

The Macerich Company 107
SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities of the TRS's relate primarily to differences in the book and tax bases of property and to operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if the Company believes it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. The net operating loss carryforwards are currently scheduled to expire through 2026, beginning in 2011.
The tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards of the TRSs included in the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are summarized as follows:
|
2006 |
2005 |
||
---|---|---|---|---|
Net operating loss carryforwards | $14,797 | $14,146 | ||
Property, primarily differences in depreciation and amortization, the tax basis of land assets and treatment of certain other costs | (5,095) | (5,033) | ||
Other | 1,525 | 1,143 | ||
Net deferred tax assets | $11,227 | $10,256 | ||
20. Stock Offering:
On January 19, 2006, the Company issued 10,952,381 common shares for net proceeds of $746,485.

21. Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock:
On February 25, 1998, the Company issued 3,627,131 shares of Series A cumulative convertible redeemable preferred stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") for proceeds totaling $100,000 in a private placement. The preferred stock can be converted on a one for one basis into common stock and will pay a quarterly dividend equal to the greater of $0.46 per share, or the dividend then payable on a share of common stock.
No dividends will be declared or paid on any class of common or other junior stock to the extent that dividends on Series A Preferred Stock have not been declared and/or paid.
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock have redemption rights if a change in control of the Company occurs, as defined under the Articles Supplementary. Under such circumstances, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
108 The Macerich Company
are entitled to require the Company to redeem their shares, to the extent the Company has funds legally available therefor, at a price equal to 105% of its liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock holder also has the right to require the Company to repurchase its shares if the Company fails to be taxed as a REIT for federal tax purposes at a price equal to 115% of its liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends, to the extent funds are legally available therefor.

REPORTS OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS
To
the Board of Trustees and Stockholders of
Pacific Premier Retail Trust
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pacific Premier Retail Trust, a Maryland Real Estate Investment Trust (the "Trust") as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. Our audits also included the consolidated financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(4), as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. These consolidated financial statements and the consolidated financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the consolidated financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such 2006, 2005 and 2004 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, based on our audits the consolidated financial statement schedules as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

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 (decreased) by $104, $200 and ($138) in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, due to the straight-lining of rents. Percentage rents are recognized on an accrual basis and are accrued when tenants' specified sales targets have been met.
Estimated recoveries from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred or as specified in the leases.
Property:
Costs related to the redevelopment, construction and improvement of properties are capitalized. Interest incurred or imputed on redevelopment and construction projects is capitalized until construction is substantially complete.
Maintenance and repairs expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Costs for major replacements and betterments, which includes HVAC equipment, roofs, parking lots, etc. are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. 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 lives of the assets as follows:
Building and improvements | 5-39 years | |
Tenant improvements | 5-7 years | |
Equipment and furnishings | 5-7 years | |
The Trust assesses whether there has been impairment in the value of its long-lived assets by considering 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 determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a undiscounted cash flows analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets. Long-lived assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Management does not believe impairment has occurred in its net property carrying values at December 31, 2006 or 2005.
116 The Macerich Company
Deferred Charges:
Costs relating to obtaining tenant leases are deferred and amortized over the initial term of the agreement using the straight-line method. Costs relating to financing of properties are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The range of terms of the agreements is as follows:
Deferred lease cost | 1-9 years | |
Deferred finance costs | 1-12 years | |
Included in deferred charges are accumulated amortization of $12,209 and $9,266 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Trust 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 Trust 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 Trust 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.
Concentration of Risk:
The Trust 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 Trust had deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
One tenant represented 10.6%, 10.7% and 11.4% of total minimum rents in place as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. No other tenant represented more than 10% of total minimum rents as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised), "Share-Based Payment" SFAS No. 123(R) requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the results of operations.
In March 2005, FASB issued FIN No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations an interpretation of SFAS No. 143." FIN No. 47, requires that a liability be recognized for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be reasonably estimated. The adoption of FIN No. 47 did not have a material effect on the Trust's results of operations or financial condition.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of previously recognized income tax benefits, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Trust has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 157 for fiscal year 2008 and does not expect its adoption to have a material effect on the Trust's results of operations or financial condition.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108. SAB No. 108 establishes a framework for quantifying materiality of financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 16, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material impact on the Trust's consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140." This statement amended SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. This statement also established a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests
118 The Macerich Company
that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. The Trust is required to adopt SFAS No. 155 for fiscal year 2007 and does not expect its adoption to have a material effect on the its results of operations or financial condition.

5. Related Party Transactions:
The Trust engages the Macerich Management Company (the "Management Company"), a subsidiary of the Company, to manage the operations of the Trust. The Management Company provides property management, leasing, corporate, redevelopment and acquisitions services to the properties of the Trust. Under these arrangements, the Management Company is reimbursed for compensation paid to on-site employees, leasing agents and project managers at the properties, as well as insurance costs and other administrative expenses. In
120 The Macerich Company
consideration of these services, the Management Company receives monthly management fees of 4.0% of the gross monthly rental revenue of the properties. During the years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Trust incurred management fees of $6,382, $6,005 and $5,779, respectively, to the Management Company.
A mortgage note collateralized by the office component of Redmond Town Center is held by one of the Company's joint venture partners. In connection with this note, interest expense was $4,875, $5,125 and $5,361 during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Additionally, no interest costs were capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, in relation to this note.
6. Income taxes:
The Trust elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1999. To qualify as a REIT, the Trust must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders. It is the Trust's current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Trust's REIT status. As a REIT, the Trust generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on net income it distributes currently to its stockholders. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the Trust fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Trust qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Trust may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income, if any.

On December 29, 1997, affiliates of Simon Property Group, Inc. (Simon) and The Macerich Company (Macerich) formed a limited partnership to acquire and operate a portfolio of 12 regional shopping centers. SDG Macerich Properties, L.P. (the Partnership) acquired the properties on February 27, 1998.
Affiliates of Simon and Macerich each manage 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 and Convenience Center | 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
The Macerich Company 129
at December 31, 2006, fixed minimum rents to be received in each of the next five years and thereafter are summarized as follows:
2007 | $78,293 | |
2008 | 67,347 | |
2009 | 55,933 | |
2010 | 44,548 | |
2011 | 33,208 | |
Thereafter | 89,232 | |
$368,561 | ||
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 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 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.
All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
130 The Macerich Company
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 | 35-39 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 repairs and maintenance items are expensed as incurred. Interest incurred or imputed on development, redevelopment and construction projects is capitalized until the projects are ready for their intended purpose.
The Partnership assesses whether there has been an impairment in the value of a property 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 of a property 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 the net carrying values of its properties has occurred.
Financing costs related to the proceeds of mortgage notes issued are amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the notes.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.
The Macerich Company 131
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.
The Partnership uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage, or hedge, interest rate risk and records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Partnership requires that hedging derivative instruments are effective in reducing the risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. For derivative instruments associated with the hedge of an anticipated transaction, hedge effectiveness criteria also require that it be probable that the underlying transaction occurs. Any instrument that meets these hedging criteria is formally designated as a hedge at the inception of the derivative contract. When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified resulting in some ineffectiveness, the portion of the change in the derivative fair value related to ineffectiveness from period to period will be included in net income. If any derivative instrument used for risk management does not meet the hedging criteria, then it is marked-to-market each period and will be included in net income; however, the Partnership intends for all derivative transactions to meet all the hedge criteria and qualify as hedges.
On an ongoing quarterly basis, the Partnership adjusts its balance sheet to reflect the current fair value of its derivatives. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in income or comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedged transaction, and on the type of hedge transaction. To the extent that the change in value of a derivative does not perfectly offset the change in value of the instrument being hedged, the ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognized in income. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to income. This reclassification occurs when the hedged items are also recognized in income. The Partnership has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors.
To determine the fair value of derivative instruments, the Partnership uses standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, and termination cost at each balance sheet date. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

(3) Mortgage Notes Payable and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On May 10, 2006, the Partnership repaid all of its existing mortgage notes payable on their maturity date with the proceeds from seven different mortgage notes payable totaling $796,550. All of the new mortgage notes payable are at fixed interest rates with maturities of June 1, 2016. Each of the seven non-recourse mortgage notes is collateralized by different shopping center properties. Mortgage notes payable at December 31, 2006 consist of the following:
Property Pledged as Collateral |
Original Principal Balance |
Interest Rate |
Type of Payments |
Balance at December 31, 2006 |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Eastland Mall | $168,000 | 5.794% | Interest only | $168,000 | ||||
Granite Run Mall | 122,000 | 5.834% | Principal and interest | 121,190 | ||||
Valley Mall | 47,500 | 5.834% | Principal and interest | 47,184 | ||||
Empire Mall | 176,300 | 5.794% | Interest only | 176,300 | ||||
Mesa Mall | 87,250 | 5.794% | Interest only | 87,250 | ||||
Rushmore Mall | 94,000 | 5.794% | Interest only | 94,000 | ||||
Southern Hills Mall | 101,500 | 5.794% | Interest only | 101,500 | ||||
$796,550 | $795,424 | |||||||
Total interest expense capitalized in 2006 was $207.
The above mortgage notes payable matures as follows:
Year ending December 31,
2007 | $2,075 | |
2008 | 2,175 | |
2009 | 2,335 | |
2010 | 2,479 | |
2011 | 2,627 | |
Thereafter | 783,733 | |
$795,424 | ||
At December 31, 2005, mortgage notes payable consisted of $357,100 of debt that required monthly interest payments at fixed rates of interest ranging from 7.24% to 8.28% (weighted average rate of 7.53%) and $267,900 of debt that required monthly interest payments at variable rates of interest (based on LIBOR) with rates ranging from 4.709% to 4.839% at December 31, 2005. The balance at December 31, 2005 also included $1,329 of unamortized debt premium that was recorded on debt assumed by the Partnership when the properties were initially acquired in 1998 and was being amortized to interest expense using a level yield method.
The Macerich Company 133
The variable rate debt at December 31, 2005 totaling $267,900 was covered by two separate interest rate cap agreements that effectively prevented the variable interest rate from exceeding rates ranging from 10.63% to 11.83%. The Partnership's exposure to market risk due to changes in interest rates relates to long-term variable rate debt obligations. Through its risk management strategy, the Partnership manages exposure to interest rate market risk by interest rate protection agreements to effectively cap a portion of variable rate debt. The Partnership's intent is to minimize its exposure to potential significant increases in interest rates. The Partnership does not enter into interest rate protection agreements for speculative purposes.
The fair value of the fixed-rate debt of $795,424 and $357,100 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, based on an interest rates of 5.70% and 6.13%, respectively, is estimated to be $801,352 and $359,144, respectively. The carrying value of the variable-rate debt of $267,900 at December 31, 2005, and the Partnership's other financial instruments at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are estimated to approximate their fair values.
(4) Related Party Transactions
Management fees incurred in 2006, 2005, and 2004 totaled $2,063, $2,042, and $2,028, respectively, for the Simon-managed properties and $2,101, $2,302, and $2,012, respectively, for the Macerich-managed properties, both based on a fee of 4% of gross receipts, as defined. In addition to the management fees, Macerich charged the Partnership an additional $627, $521, and $620 for shared services fees in 2006, 2005, and 2004 respectively. In 2005, the Partnership paid a development fee of $336 to an affiliate of Simon in connection with a development project at Valley Mall.
Due from affiliates and due to affiliates on the accompanying balance sheets represent amounts due to or from the Partnership to Simon or Macerich or an affiliate of Simon or Macerich in the normal course of operations of the shopping center properties.
(5) Contingent Liabilities
The Partnership is not currently involved with any litigation other than routine 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 Partnership's financial statements taken as a whole.
(6) Subsequent Event
In January 2007, the Partnership sold a portion of the shopping center at Eastland Mall that had previously been occupied by a major tenant to another major tenant. The sale of the land and building resulted in a loss of approximately $4,800 which was recognized at the time of the sale in 2007.

(the "Partnership"), dated as of October 26, 2006, is hereby adopted by The Macerich Company, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), as the general partner of The Macerich Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. For ease of reference, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
WHEREAS, the General Partner desires to establish and set forth the terms of a new class of Partnership Interests designated as LTIP Units;
WHEREAS, the LTIP Units shall have the terms set forth in Exhibit B to this Amendment;
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;
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; and
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.
NOW, THEREFORE, the General Partner hereby amends the Agreement as follows:
1. Section 2.2 of the Agreement is hereby supplemented by adding the following paragraphs (f), (g) and (h) to the end thereof:
(f) Reserved.
(g) Reserved.
(h) Issuance of LTIP Units. From and after the date hereof the Partnership shall be authorized to issue LTIP Units. From time to time the General Partner may issue LTIP Units to Persons providing services to or for the benefit of the Partnership. LTIP Units are intended to
qualify as profits interests in the Partnership. LTIP Units shall have the terms set forth in Exhibit B to the Tenth Amendment to this Agreement.
2. New Section 4.1A of the Agreement is hereby added to read as follows:
For purposes of the foregoing calculations of Section 4.1, issued and outstanding LTIP Units with an associated LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date that falls on or before the Partnership Record Date for a particular distribution shall be treated as outstanding Common Units. LTIP Units for which the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date has not occurred as of the Partnership Record Date for a particular distribution shall not be entitled to any of such distribution.
3. In making distributions pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Agreement and allocations pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of the Allocations Exhibit, the General Partner of the Partnership shall take into account the provisions of Exhibit B to the Tenth Amendment to this Agreement.
4. Section 5.5 of the Partnership Agreement is amended by designating the existing text of Section 5.5 as Section 5.5(a), and by appending the following new Section 5.5(b):
(b) To the extent provided for in Regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures and/or other IRS guidance issued after the date hereof, the Partnership is hereby authorized to, and at the direction of the General Partner shall, elect a safe harbor under which the fair market value of any Partnership Interests issued after the effective date of such Regulations (or other guidance) will be treated as equal to the liquidation value of such Partnership Interests (i.e., a value equal to the total amount that would be distributed with respect to such interests if the Partnership sold all of its assets for their fair market value immediately after the issuance of such Partnership Interests, satisfied its liabilities (excluding any non-recourse liabilities to the extent the balance of such liabilities exceed the fair market value of the assets that secure them) and distributed the net proceeds to the Partners under the terms of this Agreement). In the event that the Partnership makes a safe harbor election as described in the preceding sentence, each Partner hereby agrees to comply with all safe harbor requirements with respect to transfers of such Partnership Interests while the safe harbor election remains effective.
5. Article IX of the Agreement is hereby supplemented by adding the following paragraphs (f), (g), (h) and (i) at the end of Section 9.1 thereof:
(f) Reserved.
(g) Reserved.
(h) Reserved.
(i) Holders of LTIP Units shall not be entitled to the Redemption Rights provided for in Section 9.1 of this Agreement, unless and until such LTIP Units have been converted into Common Units (or any other class or series of Partnership Units entitled to such Redemption Rights). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise permitted by the award, plan or other agreement pursuant to which an LTIP Unit was issued, the Redemption Rights shall not be exercisable with respect to any Common Unit issued upon conversion of an LTIP Unit until two years after the date on which the LTIP Unit was issued, provided however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply if the right of Redemption is exercised by an LTIP Unit holder in connection with a transaction that falls within the definition of a "change of control" under the agreement or agreements pursuant to which the LTIP Units were issued to such holder.

13. Section 3 of the Allocations Exhibit is hereby supplemented by adding the following new Sections 3.10 and 3.11 to the end thereof:
3.10 Special Allocations With Respect to LTIP Units.
5
(a) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Sections 3.1 through 3.9 hereof, and the allocations of Net Income (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Liquidating Gains that are a component of Net Income) under Subsections 2.1(a) through (e) above, but before allocations of Net Income are made under Section 2.1(f) above, any remaining Liquidating Gains shall first be allocated to the holders of LTIP Units until the Economic Capital Account Balances of such holders, to the extent attributable to their ownership of LTIP Units, are equal to (i) the Common Unit Economic Balance, multiplied by (ii) the number of their LTIP Units (with respect to each holder, the "Target Balance"); provided, however, that no such Liquidating Gains will be allocated with respect to any particular LTIP Unit (each, an "Ineligible Unit") if cumulative Liquidating Losses of the Partnership have exceeded cumulative Liquidating Gains of the Partnership during the period from the issuance of such LTIP Unit through the date of such allocation. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, not all LTIP Units (including Ineligible Units) are fully booked up, Liquidating Gains shall be allocated among LTIP Units in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, Liquidating Gains allocated with respect to an LTIP Unit pursuant to this Section 3.10(a) shall reduce (but not below zero) the Book-Up Target for such LTIP Unit.
(b) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Sections 3.1 through 3.9 hereof, and notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above, if, due to distributions with respect to Common Units in which the LTIP Units do not participate, forfeitures or otherwise, the Economic Capital Account Balance of any present or former holder of LTIP Units, to the extent attributable to the holder's ownership of LTIP Units, exceeds the Target Balance, then Liquidating Losses shall be allocated to such holder to eliminate the disparity; provided, however, that if Liquidating Losses are insufficient to completely eliminate all such disparities, such losses shall be allocated among LTIP Units in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner.
(c) A "Book-Up Target" shall be established for each LTIP Unit. The initial amount of the Book-Up Target for such LTIP Unit shall be the Common Unit Economic Balance as determined on the later of (i) the date such LTIP Unit was granted or (ii) the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date. The Book-Up Target shall be reduced (not to less than zero) by allocations of Liquidating Gains pursuant to Section 3.10(a) and reallocations of Capital Account balances pursuant to Section 3.11, as determined by the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Book-Up Target for any LTIP Unit for which the Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to such LTIP Unit has at any time reached an amount equal to the Common Unit Economic Balance determined as of such time shall be equal to zero.
(d) The parties agree that the intent of this Section 3.10 is, (i) to the extent possible, to make the Capital Account balance associated with each LTIP Unit economically equivalent to the Capital Account balance associated with the General Partner's Common Units (on a per-unit basis), and (ii) to allow conversion of an LTIP Unit (assuming prior vesting) when sufficient Liquidating Gains have been allocated to such LTIP Unit pursuant to Section 3.10(a) so that either its initial Book-Up Target has been reduced to zero or the parity described in (i) above has been achieved. The General Partner shall be permitted to interpret this Section 3.10 or to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary and consistent with this intention.
(e) For purposes of this Allocations Exhibit, the following definitions shall apply:
"Liquidating Gains" means any net gain realized in connection with the actual or hypothetical sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership (including upon the occurrence of any event of liquidation of the Partnership), including but not limited to net gain realized in
6
connection with an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of Partnership assets under the definition of Gross Asset Value in Section 1.3 of the Allocations Exhibit.
"Liquidating Losses" means any net loss realized in connection with the actual or hypothetical sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership (including upon the occurrence of any event of liquidation of the Partnership), including but not limited to net loss realized in connection with an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of Partnership assets under the definition of Gross Asset Value in Section 1.3 of the Allocations Exhibit.
"Economic Capital Account Balance" means, with respect to a holder of LTIP Units, as of any date, its Capital Account balance, plus the amount of its shares of any Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt or Partnership Minimum Gain, in either case as of such date and only to the extent attributable to its ownership of LTIP Units.
"Common Unit Economic Balance" shall mean as of any date, (i) the Capital Account balance of the General Partner, plus the amount of the General Partner's share of any Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt or Partnership Minimum Gain, in either case to the extent attributable to the General Partner's ownership of Common Units and computed on a hypothetical basis after taking into account all allocations through such date divided by (ii) the number of the General Partner's Common Units as of such date.
3.11 Special Forfeiture Reallocations. If, in connection with any forfeiture of LTIP Units, the balance of the portion of the Capital Account of the holder that is attributable to all of his or her LTIP Units exceeds the Target Balance, such portion of such holder's Capital Account shall be reduced to the Target Balance, and the Book-Up Target of all LTIP Units then held by such holder shall be reduced to zero. Otherwise, the Capital Account of the holder that is attributable to the forfeited LTIP Units shall be reallocated in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner.
14. Exhibits A, C and D, attached to this Amendment, are hereby made a part of the Agreement.
15. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the General Partner has executed this Amendment as of the date first written above.

Further issuances of LTIP Units will be kept in the records of the Partnership.
The following are the terms of the LTIP Units:
1. Designation. A class of Partnership Units in the Partnership designated as the "LTIP Units" is hereby established. LTIP Units are intended to qualify as profits interests in the Partnership. The number of LTIP Units that may be issued shall not be limited.
2. Vesting.
A. Vesting, Generally. LTIP Units may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on transfer pursuant to the terms of an award, vesting or other similar agreement (a "Vesting Agreement"). The terms of any Vesting Agreement may be modified by the General Partner from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant Vesting Agreement or by the terms of any plan pursuant to which the LTIP Units are issued, if applicable. LTIP Units that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture under the terms of a Vesting Agreement are referred to as "Vested LTIP Units"; all other LTIP Units are referred to as "Unvested LTIP Units." Subject to the terms of any Vesting Agreement, a holder of LTIP Units shall be entitled to transfer his or her LTIP Units to the same extent, and subject to the same restrictions as holders of Common Units are entitled to transfer their Common Units pursuant to Article VIII of the Agreement.
B. Forfeiture or Transfer of Unvested LTIP Units. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Vesting Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event specified in a Vesting Agreement as resulting in either the forfeiture of any LTIP Units, or the repurchase by the Partnership or the General Partner of LTIP Units at a specified purchase price, then upon the occurrence of the circumstances resulting in such forfeiture or repurchase by the Partnership or the General Partner, the relevant LTIP Units shall immediately, and without any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose, or as transferred to the Partnership or General Partner, as applicable. Unless otherwise specified in the Vesting Agreement, no consideration or other payment shall be due with respect to any LTIP Units that have been forfeited, other than any distributions declared with a record date prior to the effective date of the forfeiture. In connection with any forfeiture or repurchase of LTIP Units, the balance of the portion of the Capital Account of the holder that is attributable to all of his or her LTIP Units shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which it exceeds the target balance contemplated by Section 3.10 of the Agreement, calculated with respect to the holder's remaining LTIP Units, if any.
C. Legend. Any certificate evidencing an LTIP Unit shall bear an appropriate legend indicating that additional terms, conditions and restrictions on transfer, including without limitation any Vesting Agreement, apply to the LTIP Unit.
3. Distributions.
A. LTIP Distribution Amount. Commencing from and after the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date established for any LTIP Units, such LTIP Units shall be entitled to receive, if, when and as authorized by the General Partner out of funds or other property legally available for the payment of distributions, regular, special, extraordinary or other distributions (other than distributions representing proceeds of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership) which may be made from time to time, in an amount per unit equal to the amount of any such distributions that would have been payable to such holders if the LTIP Units had been Common Units (if specified in the Vesting Agreement or other documentation pursuant to which the LTIP Units are issued). LTIP Units shall also be entitled to receive, if, when and as authorized by the General Partner out of funds or other property legally available for the payment of distributions, distributions representing proceeds of a sale or other disposition of all or
B-1
substantially all of the assets of the Partnership in an amount per unit equal to the amount of any such distributions payable on the Common Units, whether made prior to, on or after the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date, provided that the amount of such distributions shall not exceed the positive balances of the Capital Accounts of the holders of such LTIP Units to the extent attributable to the ownership of such LTIP Units. Distributions on the LTIP Units, if authorized, shall be payable on such dates and in such manner as may be authorized by the General Partner (any such date, a "LTIP Unit Distribution Payment Date"); provided that the LTIP Unit Distribution Payment Date shall be the same as the corresponding date relating to the corresponding distribution on the Common Units. The record date for determining which holders of LTIP Units are entitled to receive a distribution shall be the Partnership Record Date for that distribution. All distributions paid with respect to LTIP Units prior to the date on which the determination is made with respect to events resulting in the forfeiture of such LTIP Units or the repurchase by the Partnership or the General Partner of such LTIP Units shall be retained by the holder of such LTIP Units and not subject to forfeiture or restitution in the event that Unvested LTIP Units fail to become Vested LTIP Units. Following such date of determination, no further distributions will be paid with respect to Unvested LTIP Units that have been forfeited or are repurchased by the Partnership or the General Partner, other than any distributions declared with a record date prior to the effective date of the forfeiture or repurchase.
B. LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date. The "LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date" for each LTIP Unit will be (i) with respect to LTIP Units granted pursuant to The Macerich Company 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2006 LTIP Plan"), the Effective Date (as defined in the Vesting Agreement of each Person granted LTIP Units under the 2006 LTIP Plan) or (ii) with respect to other LTIP Units, such date as may be specified in the Vesting Agreement or other documentation pursuant to which such LTIP Units are issued.
4. Allocations.
Commencing with the portion of the taxable year of the Partnership that begins on the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date established for any LTIP Units, such LTIP Units shall be allocated Net Income and Net Loss in amounts per LTIP Unit equal to the amounts allocated per Common Unit. The allocations provided by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 and in addition to any special allocations required by Sections 3.1 through 3.11, each as provided in the Allocations Exhibit. The General Partner is authorized in its discretion to adjust the allocations made under this Section 4 after the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date, so that the ratio of (i) the total amount of Net Income or Net Loss allocated with respect to each LTIP Unit in the taxable year in which that LTIP Unit's LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date falls (excluding special allocations under Section 3.10 and Section 3.11 of the Allocations Exhibit), to (ii) the total amount distributed to that LTIP Unit with respect to such period, is more nearly equal to the ratio of (i) the Net Income and Net Loss allocated with respect to the General Partner's Common Units in such taxable year to (ii) the amounts distributed to the General Partner with respect to such Common Units and such taxable year.
5. Adjustments.
The Partnership shall maintain at all times a one-to-one correspondence between LTIP Units and Common Units for conversion, distribution and other purposes, including without limitation complying with the following procedures; provided that the foregoing is not intended to alter the special allocations pursuant to Sections 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 of the Allocations Exhibit, differences between distributions (other than, with respect to LTIP Units having an LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date determined under Section 3.B(ii) above, distributions representing proceeds of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership) to be made with respect to the LTIP Units and Common Units prior to the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date for such LTIP Units, differences between distributions (other than, with respect to LTIP Units having an LTIP Unit
B-2
Distribution Participation Date determined under Section 3.B(ii) above, distributions representing proceeds of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership) to be made with respect to the LTIP Units and Common Units pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Agreement or Section 3.A hereof in the event that the Capital Accounts attributable to the LTIP Units are less than those attributable to the Common Units due to insufficient special allocations pursuant to Section 3.10 and 3.11 of the Allocations Exhibit or related provisions. If an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event (as defined below) occurs, then the General Partner shall make a corresponding adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain such one-for-one correspondence between Common Units and LTIP Units. The following shall be "LTIP Unit Adjustment Events": (A) the Partnership makes a distribution on all outstanding Common Units in Partnership Units, (B) the Partnership subdivides the outstanding Common Units into a greater number of units or combines the outstanding Common Units into a smaller number of units, or (C) the Partnership issues any Partnership Units in exchange for its outstanding Common Units by way of a reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Units. If more than one LTIP Unit Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment to the LTIP Units need be made only once using a single formula that takes into account each and every LTIP Unit Adjustment Event as if all LTIP Unit Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. For the avoidance of doubt, the following shall not be LTIP Unit Adjustment Events: (x) the issuance of Partnership Units in a financing, reorganization, acquisition or other similar business transaction, (y) the issuance of Partnership Units pursuant to any employee benefit or compensation plan or distribution reinvestment plan, or (z) the issuance of any Partnership Units to the General Partner in respect of a Capital Contribution to the Partnership of proceeds from the sale of securities by the General Partner. If the Partnership takes an action affecting the Common Units other than actions specifically described above as LTIP Unit Adjustment Events and in the opinion of the General Partner such action would require an adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the one-to-one correspondence described above, the General Partner shall make such adjustment to the LTIP Units, to the extent permitted by law and by the terms of any plan pursuant to which the LTIP Units have been issued, in such manner and at such time as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances. If an adjustment is made to the LTIP Units as herein provided, the Partnership shall promptly file in the books and records of the Partnership an officer's certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after filing of such certificate, the Partnership shall mail a notice to each holder of LTIP Units setting forth the adjustment to his or her LTIP Units and the effective date of such adjustment.
6. Ranking.
The LTIP Units shall rank on parity with the Common Units in all respects and junior to all Preferred Units, Series A Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units, Series D Preferred Units, Series N Preferred Units, and Series P Preferred Units, with respect to distribution rights and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Partnership, subject to the proviso in the first sentence of Section 5.
7. Right to Convert LTIP Units into Common Units.
A. Conversion Right. A holder of LTIP Units shall have the right (the "LTIP Unit Conversion Right"), at his or her option, at any time to convert all or a portion of his or her Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is zero into Common Units. Holders of LTIP Units shall not have the right to convert Unvested LTIP Units into Common Units until they become Vested LTIP Units; provided, however, that when a holder of LTIP Units is notified of the expected occurrence of an event that will cause his or her Unvested LTIP Units to become Vested LTIP Units, such Person may give the Partnership an LTIP Unit Conversion Notice conditioned upon and effective as of the time of vesting, and such LTIP Unit Conversion Notice, unless subsequently revoked by the holder of the LTIP Units, shall be accepted by the Partnership subject
B-3
to such condition. The General Partner shall have the right at any time to cause a conversion of Vested LTIP Units the Book-up Target of which is zero into Common Units. In all cases, the conversion of any LTIP Units into Common Units shall be subject to the conditions and procedures set forth in this Section 7.
B. Number of Units Convertible. A holder of Vested LTIP Units may convert such Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is zero into an equal number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 5.
C. Notice. In order to exercise his or her Conversion Right, a holder of LTIP Units shall deliver a notice (a "LTIP Unit Conversion Notice") in the form attached as Exhibit C to this Amendment not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to a date (the "LTIP Unit Conversion Date") specified in such LTIP Unit Conversion Notice. Each holder of LTIP Units covenants and agrees with the Partnership that all Vested LTIP Units to be converted pursuant to this Section 7 shall be free and clear of all liens. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 9.1 of the Agreement and the Redemption Rights Exhibit to the Agreement), a holder of LTIP Units may deliver an Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Agreement and the Redemption Rights Exhibit to the Agreement relating to those Common Units that will be issued to such holder upon conversion of such LTIP Units into Common Units in advance of the LTIP Unit Conversion Date; provided, however, that the redemption of such Common Units by the Partnership shall in no event take place until the LTIP Unit Conversion Date. For clarity, it is noted that the objective of this paragraph is to put a holder of LTIP Units in a position where, if he or she so wishes, the Common Units into which his or her Vested LTIP Units will be converted can be redeemed by the Partnership simultaneously with such conversion, with the further consequence that, if the General Partner elects to assume the Partnership's redemption obligation with respect to such Common Units under Section 9.1 of the Agreement and the Redemption Rights Exhibit to the Agreement by delivering to such holder Shares rather than cash, then such holder can have such Shares issued to him or her simultaneously with the conversion of his or her Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is zero into Common Units. The General Partner shall cooperate with a holder of LTIP Units to coordinate the timing of the different events described in the foregoing sentence.
D. Forced Conversion. The Partnership, at any time at the election of the General Partner, may cause any number of Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is zero held by a holder of LTIP Units to be converted (a "LTIP Unit Forced Conversion") into an equal number of Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 5. In order to exercise its right to cause an LTIP Unit Forced Conversion, the Partnership shall deliver a notice (a "LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Notice") in the form attached as Exhibit D to the Amendment to the applicable holder not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the LTIP Unit Conversion Date specified in such LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Notice. A Forced LTIP Unit Conversion Notice shall be provided in the manner provided in Section 13.1 of the Agreement.
E. Conversion Procedures. Subject to any redemption of Common Units to be received upon the conversion of Vested LTIP Units, a conversion of Vested LTIP Units for which the holder thereof has given an LTIP Unit Conversion Notice or the Partnership has given a Forced LTIP Unit Conversion Notice shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable LTIP Unit Conversion Date without any action on the part of such holder of LTIP Units, as of which time such holder of LTIP Units shall be credited on the books and records of the Partnership with the issuance as of the opening of business on the next day of the number of Common Units issuable upon such conversion. After the conversion of LTIP Units as aforesaid, the Partnership shall deliver to such holder of LTIP Units, upon his or her written request, a certificate of the General Partner certifying the number of Common Units and remaining LTIP Units, if any, held by such Person immediately after such conversion.
B-4
F. Treatment of Capital Account. For purposes of making future allocations under Section 3.10 of the Allocations Exhibit, the portion of the Economic Capital Account Balance of the applicable holder of LTIP Units that is treated as attributable to his or her LTIP Units shall be reduced in accordance with the Economic Capital Account Balance of such holder attributable to the LTIP Units converted.
G. Mandatory Conversion in Connection with a Transaction. If the Partnership or the General Partner shall be a party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, unit exchange, self tender offer for all or substantially all Common Units or other business combination or reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets, but excluding any transaction which constitutes an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event), in each case as a result of which Common Units shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of Common Units shall otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "Transaction"), then the General Partner shall, immediately prior to the Transaction, exercise its right to cause a LTIP Unit Forced Conversion with respect to the maximum number of LTIP Units then eligible for conversion, taking into account any allocations that occur in connection with the Transaction or that would occur in connection with the Transaction if the assets of the Partnership were sold at the Transaction price or, if applicable, at a value determined by the General Partner in good faith using the value attributed to the Partnership Units in the context of the Transaction (in which case the LTIP Unit Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the Transaction and the conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Transaction).
In anticipation of such LTIP Unit Forced Conversion and the consummation of the Transaction, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of LTIP Units to be afforded the right to receive in connection with such Transaction in consideration for the Common Units into which his or her LTIP Units will be converted the same kind and amount of cash, securities and other property (or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction by a holder of the same number of Common Units, assuming such holder of Common Units is not a Person with which the Partnership consolidated or into which the Partnership merged or which merged into the Partnership or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (a "Constituent Person"), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person. In the event that holders of Common Units have the opportunity to elect the form or type of consideration to be received upon consummation of the Transaction, prior to such Transaction the General Partner shall give prompt written notice to each holder of LTIP Units of such election, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to afford such holders the right to elect, by written notice to the General Partner, the form or type of consideration to be received upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by such holder into Common Units in connection with such Transaction. If a holder of LTIP Units fails to make such an election, such holder (and any of its transferees) shall receive upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by him or her (or by any of his or her transferees) the same kind and amount of consideration that a holder of a Common Unit would receive if such holder of Common Units failed to make such an election.
Subject to the rights of the Partnership and the General Partner under any Vesting Agreement and the terms of any plan under which LTIP Units are issued, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the terms of any Transaction to be consistent with the provisions of this Section 7 and to enter into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of any holders of LTIP Units whose LTIP Units will not be converted into Common Units in connection with the Transaction that will (i) contain provisions enabling the holders of LTIP Units that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert their LTIP Units into securities as comparable as reasonably possible under the circumstances to the Common Units and (ii) preserve as
B-5
far as reasonably possible under the circumstances the distribution, special allocation, conversion, and other rights set forth in the Agreement for the benefit of the holders of LTIP Units.
8. Redemption at the Option of the Partnership.
LTIP Units will not be redeemable at the option of the Partnership; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Partnership from (i) repurchasing LTIP Units from the holder thereof if and to the extent such holder agrees to sell such LTIP Units or (ii) from exercising its LTIP Unit Forced Conversion right.
9. Voting Rights.
A. Voting with Common Units. Holders of LTIP Units shall have the right to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Units; holders of LTIP Units and Common Units shall vote together as a single class, together with any other class or series of Partnership Units upon which like voting rights have been conferred. In any matter in which the LTIP Units are entitled to vote, including an action by written consent, each LTIP Unit shall be entitled to vote a Percentage Interest equal on a per unit basis to the Percentage Interest represented by each Common Unit.
B. Special Approval Rights. Except as provided in Section 9.A. above, holders of LTIP Units shall only (a) have those voting rights required from time to time by non-waivable provisions of applicable law, if any, and (b) have the additional voting rights that are expressly set forth in this Section 9.B. The General Partner and/or the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of holders of more than 50% of the then outstanding LTIP Units affected thereby, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting separately as a class), take any action that would materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the rights, powers or privileges of such LTIP Units, subject to the following exceptions:
(i) no separate consent of the holders of LTIP Units will be required if and to the extent that any such alteration, change, modification or amendment would equally, ratably and proportionately alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the Common Units (in which event the holders of LTIP Units shall only have such voting rights, if any, as provided in Sections 6.3, 7.1, 10.1(b), Article XII of the Agreement, or otherwise as expressly provided for in the Agreement, in accordance with Section 9.A above);
(ii) with respect to any merger, consolidation or other business combination or reorganization, so long as either (w) the LTIP Units are converted into Common Units immediately prior to the effectiveness of the transaction, (x) the holders of LTIP Units either will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each LTIP Unit an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one Common Unit in consideration of one Common Unit pursuant to the terms of such transaction, (y) the LTIP Units remain outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged, or (z) if the Partnership is not the surviving entity in such transaction, the LTIP Units are exchanged for a security of the surviving entity with terms that are materially the same with respect to rights to allocations, distributions, redemption, conversion and voting as the LTIP Units and without any income, gain or loss expected to be recognized by the holder upon the exchange for federal income tax purposes (and with the terms of the Common Units or such other securities into which the LTIP Units (or the substitute security therefor) are convertible materially the same with respect to rights to allocations, distributions, redemption, conversion and voting), such merger, consolidation or other business combination or reorganization shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units, provided further, that if some, but not all, of the LTIP Units are converted into Common Units immediately prior to the
B-6
effectiveness of the transaction (and neither clause (y) or (z) above is applicable), then the consent required pursuant to this Section will be the consent of the holders of more than 50% of the LTIP Units to be outstanding following such conversion;
(iii) any creation or issuance of Partnership Units (whether ranking junior to, on a parity with or senior to the LTIP Units with respect to payment of distributions, right of redemptions and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up), which either (x) does not require the consent of the holders of Common Units or (y) does require such consent and is authorized by a vote of the holders of Common Units and LTIP Units voting together as a single class pursuant to Section 9.A above, together with any other class or series of units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership upon which like voting rights have been conferred, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units; and
(iv) any waiver by the Partnership of restrictions or limitations applicable to any outstanding LTIP Units with respect to any holder or holders thereof shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units with respect to other holders.
The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, as of or prior to the time when the action with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required will be taken or be effective, all outstanding LTIP Units shall have been converted and/or redeemed, or provision is made for such redemption and/or conversion to occur as of or prior to such time.

III. DUTIES.
A. Employee shall serve during the course of his employment as Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer & Chief Economist, and shall have such other duties and responsibilities as the Board of Directors of the Company, or its President & Chief Executive Officer, shall determine from time to time. In addition, Employee will be responsible for extensive travel throughout the United States, particularly in the first half of 2007, to acquaint himself with the Company, meet with personnel; and visit all relevant and competitive properties.
B. Employee agrees to devote substantially all of his work day, energy and ability to the business of the Company. Nothing herein shall prevent Employee from investing in real estate for his own account or from becoming a partner or a stockholder in any corporation, partnership or other venture not in competition with the business of the Company or in competition with any present or future affiliate of the Company.
C. Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as above contemplated, the engagement of Employee by the Company under this Agreement is exclusive to the Company, and he shall not render services to any other entity for compensation or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Company.
IV. COMPENSATION.
A. Salary. The Company will pay to Employee a base salary at the rate of $500,000 per year. Such salary shall be earned monthly and shall be payable biweekly in periodic installments in accordance with the Company's customary practices. Amounts payable shall be reduced by standard withholding and other authorized deductions. The Company will review Employee's salary at least annually. The Company may in its discretion increase Employee's salary but it may not reduce it during the term of this Agreement.
B. Bonus and Incentive Compensation.

Bonus and incentive plan awards will be based on success in achieving personal goals and objectives and Company performance.
1
C. Welfare Benefit Plans. Employee and/or his family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, salary continuance, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) to the extent applicable generally to other Executive Officers of the Company.

G. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue any and all of the above plans, practices, policies and programs at any time without recourse by Employee so long as such action is taken generally with respect to other Executive Officers and does not single out Employee.
V. TERMINATION.
A. Death or Disability. Employee's employment shall terminate automatically upon Employee's death. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of Employee has occurred (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to Employee written notice of its intention to terminate Employee's employment. In such event, Employee's employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by Employee, provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, Employee shall not have returned to full-time performance of his duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean the absence of Employee from his 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 Employee or his legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be withheld unreasonably). "Incapacity" as used herein shall be limited only to a condition that substantially prevents Employee from performing his duties hereunder.
B. Cause. During the term of this Agreement, the Company may terminate Employee's employment for Cause. "Cause" shall mean a termination of employment of the Employee by the Company due to (a) the commission by the Employee of an act of fraud or embezzlement against the Company; (b) the conviction of the Employee in a court of law, or guilty plea or no contest plea, to a felony charge; (c) the willful misconduct of the Employee which is reasonably likely to result in injury or financial loss to the Company; (d) the willful failure of the Employee to render services to the Company, which failure amounts to material neglect of the Employee's duties and does not result from physical illness, injury or incapacity, and which failure is not cured promptly after adequate notice of such failure and a reasonably detailed explanation in writing has been presented by the Company to the Employee; or (e) any other material breach of this Agreement, which breach is not cured, if curable, within 30 days after a written notice of such breach is delivered to the Employee.
C. Termination by the Company Without Cause. The Company may terminate Employee's employment at any time during the term of this Agreement without cause and without prior notice. Any such termination without cause shall trigger the Company's obligations under Section V.D.3. below.
2
D. Obligations of the Company Upon Termination.
1. Death or Disability. If Employee's employment is terminated by reason of Employee's Death or Disability, during the remainder of the term of this Agreement (as in effect on the date of Employee's termination of employment), the Company shall continue to pay to Employee (or, in the case of his death, his surviving spouse or, if there is no surviving spouse, his estate) Employee's annual base salary at the same time and in the same manner as if he had continued to perform services under this Agreement.
2. Cause. If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section V-B, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Employee other than for (a) payment of the sum of Employee's annual base salary through the date of termination and any accrued vacation pay to the extent not theretofore paid, which shall be paid to Employee or his estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the date of termination; (b) payment of any vested compensation previously deferred by Employee (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon), which shall be paid to Employee or his estate or beneficiary pursuant to terms of the plan or agreement under which such compensation was deferred; and (c) payment to Employee or his estate or beneficiary, as applicable, any amounts due pursuant to the terms of any applicable welfare benefit plans. The payments described in clauses (a) and (b) shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Accrued Obligations." If it is subsequently determined that the Company did not have Cause for termination under this Section V.D.2, then the Company's decision to terminate shall be deemed to have been made under Section V.D.3 and the amounts payable thereunder shall be the only amounts Employee may receive for his termination.
3. Termination Without Cause. (a) If the Company terminates this Agreement and Employee's employment other than pursuant to Section V.A. or V.B, then upon Employee's execution of a standard form of Employee Release and Settlement Agreement (an exemplar of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A for reference only) updated at the time of any use to comply with all then applicable legal restrictions and limitations, (i) the Company shall immediately pay to Employee a lump sum equal to two times the aggregate of Employee's base salary and target bonus for one year, less standard withholdings and other authorized deductions (which base salary and target bonus for the purposes of this Section V.D.3 shall be deemed to be $500,000 salary + $750,000 target bonus = $1,250,000; and therefore the gross payment under this Section V.D.3.(a) prior to withholdings and other authorized deductions shall be deemed to be $2,500,000), and (ii) the Company shall timely pay to Employee the Accrued Obligations; (b) if Company terminates this Agreement and Employee's employment for a reason other than described in Section V.A. or V.B., at any time during the 24 month period immediately following the specified term of this Agreement, then upon Employee's execution of an Employee Release as described in Section V.D.3.(a) above, the Company shall pay to Employee the sum specified in Section V.D.3(a)(i), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months remaining in such 24 month period (with any partial month considered to be a whole month) and the denominator of which shall be 24; (c) none of the payments provided in this Section V.D.3 shall be reduced by any amounts earned or received by Employee from a third party at any time.
VI. ARBITRATION.
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its enforcement or interpretation, or because of an alleged breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of its provisions, shall be submitted to arbitration, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Arbitration Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B.

THE MACERICH COMPANY
2006 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
AWARD AGREEMENT
2006 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARD AGREEMENT made as of date set forth on Schedule A hereto between The Macerich Company, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), its subsidiary The Macerich Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its operations (the "Partnership"), and the party listed on Schedule A (the "Grantee").
RECITALS
A. The Grantee is a key employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or affiliates and provides services to the Partnership.
B. The Company has adopted the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") pursuant to The Macerich Company 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2003 Plan"), to provide certain key employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries and affiliates, including the Grantee, in connection with their employment with the long-term incentive compensation described in this Award Agreement (this "Agreement" or "Award Agreement"), and thereby provide additional incentive for them to promote the progress and success of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates, including the Partnership, while increasing the total return to the Company's shareholders. The LTIP was adopted by the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board as set forth in the Committee's charter, including authority to make grants of equity interests in the Partnership which may, under certain circumstances, become exchangeable for shares of the Company's Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2003 Plan, or any successor equity plan (as any such plan may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, collectively the "Stock Plan")) and, upon the Compensation Committee's recommendation, was also approved by the Board. This Agreement evidences an award to the Grantee under the LTIP (this "Award"), which is subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
C. The Grantee was selected by the Committee to receive this Award as one of select group of highly compensated or management employees who, through the effective execution of their assigned duties and responsibilities, are in a position to have a direct and measurable impact on the Company's long-term financial results. Effective as of the grant date specified in Schedule A hereto, the Committee awarded to the Grantee the number of LTIP Units (as defined herein) set forth in Schedule A.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Partnership and the Grantee agree as follows:
1. Administration. The LTIP and all awards thereunder, including this Award, shall be administered by the Committee, which in the administration of the LTIP shall have all the powers and authority it has in the administration of the Stock Plan, as set forth in the Stock Plan. The Committee may from time to time adopt any rules or procedures it deems necessary or desirable for the proper and efficient administration of the LTIP, consistent with the terms hereof and of the Stock Plan. The Committee's determinations and interpretations with respect to the LTIP and this Agreement shall be final and binding on all parties.

The cessation of employment of the Grantee shall not be deemed to be for Cause under clause (a) or (c) above unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Grantee a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the entire membership of the Applicable Board (excluding the Grantee and any relative of the Grantee, if the Grantee or such relative is a member of the Applicable Board) at a meeting of the Applicable Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Grantee and the Grantee is given an opportunity, together with counsel for the Grantee, to be heard before the Applicable Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Applicable Board, the Grantee is guilty of the conduct described in clause (a) or (c) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable detail.

2

(a) the assignment to the Grantee of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the Grantee's position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities (whether or not occurring solely as a result of the Company's ceasing to be a publicly traded entity), excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Grantee;
(b) a change in the Grantee's principal office location to a location further away from the Grantee's home which is more than 30 miles from the Grantee's principal office;
4
(c) the taking of any action by the Company to eliminate benefit plans in which the Grantee participated in or was eligible to participate in immediately prior to a Change of Control without providing substitutes therefor, to materially reduce benefits thereunder or to substantially diminish the aggregate value of the incentive awards or other fringe benefits; provided that if neither a surviving entity nor its parent following a Change of Control is a publicly-held company, the failure to provide stock-based benefits shall not be deemed good reason if benefits of comparable value using recognized valuation methodology are substituted therefor; and provided further that a reduction or elimination in the aggregate of not more than 10% in aggregate benefits in connection with across the board reductions or modifications affecting similarly situated persons of executive rank in the Company or a combined organization shall not constitute Good Reason;
(d) any reduction in the Grantee's Base Salary; or
(e) any material breach by the Company of the Grantee's Service Agreement (if one exists).
If the Grantee suffers physical or mental incapacity or dies following the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (a) through (e) above and the Grantee has given the Company the requisite written notice but the Company has failed to remedy the situation prior to such physical or mental incapacity or death, the Grantee's physical or mental incapacity or death shall not affect the ability of the Grantee or his heirs or beneficiaries, as applicable, to treat the Grantee's termination of employment as a termination for Good Reason. For purposes of the definition of Good Reason, the term "Base Salary" means the annual base rate of compensation payable to Grantee by the Company as of the Grantee's date of termination, before deductions or voluntary deferrals authorized by the Grantee or required by law to be withheld from the Grantee by the Company. Salary excludes all other extra pay such as overtime, pensions, severance payments, bonuses, stock incentives, living or other allowances, and other perquisites.
"LTIP Units" means units of limited partnership interest of the Partnership designated as "LTIP Units" in the Partnership Agreement awarded under the LTIP, having the rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption set forth in the Partnership Agreement.
"Partnership Agreement" means the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, dated as of March 16, 1994, among the Company, as general partner, and the limited partners who are parties thereto, as amended from time to time.
"Peer REIT" means each of the business entities qualified as real estate investment trusts ("REITs") listed on Schedule B hereto, and any successors to the businesses or assets of such REITs as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion. If a REIT listed on Schedule B (A) ceases to exist during the term of this Agreement and the Committee determines that there is no successor to the business or assets of such REIT or (B) the common shares of a Peer REIT are no longer publicly traded, then such REIT will cease to be treated as a member of the group of Peer REITs to the extent and for the periods determined by the Committee in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from time to time the Committee may remove from or add to the list set forth on Schedule B such business entities, including non-REITs, as appropriate in its reasonable discretion to make the Total Return comparisons required by Section 4 hereof meaningful and consistent across the relevant measurement periods.
"Percentile" is defined in accordance with standard statistical methodology. For example, for purposes of Section 4(a)(i), if 50% of the Peer REITs had a Total Return for an Annual Performance Period equal to or worse than the Company's Total Return for the same period, then the Company would be at the 50th percentile. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, upon consideration of the statistical distribution of the Peer REITs within the full range of Total Return for any applicable period, exercise its reasonable discretion to allow for vesting of LTIP Units under
5
Section 4 on a basis other than a strict mathematical calculation of percentiles. By way of illustration, if for a given period the Total Return of a number of Peer REITs is clustered within a narrow range such that the effect of the precise calculation of percentiles is that vesting would not occur or occur at a specific level, the Committee could in its discretion conclude that vesting should occur at a different level to the extent appropriate in light of the circumstances and of the Company's Total Return performance relative to the Peer REITs as a group.
"Person" means an individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association, trust, unincorporated organization, other entity or "group" (as defined in the Exchange Act).
"Qualified Termination" means a termination of the Grantee's employment (A) by the Company without Cause, (B) by the Grantee with Good Reason, or (C) as a result of the Grantee's death or Disability.
"Service Agreement" means, as of a particular date, any employment, consulting or similar service agreement, including, without limitation, management continuity agreement, then in effect between the Grantee, on the one hand, and the Company or one of its affiliates, on the other hand, as amended or supplemented through such date.
"Total Return" means, with respect to a Peer REIT or the Company, as applicable, the total percentage return per share achieved by the common shares of such REIT or the Company's Common Stock, as applicable, assuming contemporaneous reinvestment in such common shares or Common Stock of all dividends and other distributions, in each case measured following the end of each Vesting Year for the applicable Annual Performance Period or the Cumulative Performance Period, as the case may be. The Total Return performance of the Company relative to the Total Return performance of the Peer REITs will be determined using the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock and the Closing Price of the common shares of the Peer REITs for the last trading day of the applicable period from the applicable Annual Base Price (or for the Cumulative Performance Period from the initial Annual Base Price) and from the Closing Price for the common shares of each Peer REIT on the last trading day of the calendar year immediately preceding the applicable Annual Performance Period or, for the Cumulative Performance Period, the year ended December 31, 2006. In calculating Total Return, it is the current intention of the Committee to use total return to shareholders data and calculations published annually by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), though the Committee reserves the right to use additional and/or different data or calculations in its reasonable discretion for purposes of this Award.
"Units" means Partnership Units (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) that are outstanding or are issuable upon the conversion, exercise, exchange or redemption of any securities of any kind convertible, exercisable, exchangeable or redeemable for Partnership Units.
"Vesting Year" means each calendar year in the three-year period beginning January 1, 2007 and ending December 31, 2009.
3. Award of LTIP Units. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, as well as the terms and conditions of the Stock Plan, the Grantee is hereby granted this Award consisting of the number of LTIP Units set forth on Schedule A hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference (the "Award LTIP Units"). The timing of issuance of Award LTIP Units to the Grantee pursuant to this Award is within the full and exclusive control of the Committee, so long as such issuance occurs on or prior to the applicable date as of which vesting occurs based on the calculations to be made pursuant to Section 4 hereof. Without limiting the discretion of the Committee, Award LTIP Units may be issued to the Grantee as of the date of this Agreement or from time to time thereafter, based on a determination by the Committee of the extent to which the performance objectives established under the LTIP have been achieved or otherwise. Award LTIP Units, when issued, shall constitute and be
6
treated as the property of the Grantee, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement. The issuance of Award LTIP Units to the Grantee pursuant to this Award shall be set forth in minutes of the meetings of the Committee and communicated to the Grantee in writing promptly after the approval thereof by the Committee. Award LTIP Units will be: (A) subject to forfeiture to the extent provided in Section 4; and (B) subject to vesting as provided in Sections 4 and 5 hereof. In connection with each subsequent issuance of Award LTIP Units, if any, the Grantee shall execute and deliver to the Company and the Partnership such documents, comparable to the documents executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, as the Company and/or the Partnership reasonably request in order to comply with all applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws.
4. Vesting of Award LTIP Units.
(a) The Grantee's Award LTIP Units shall be eligible for vesting over a three-year period, except as otherwise provided in Section 5 hereof, based on the Percentile ranking of the Company in terms of Total Return relative to the Total Return of the Peer REITs for each Annual Performance Period and for the Cumulative Performance Period, with vesting occurring at the times, in the amounts and upon the conditions set forth in this Section 4, provided that the Continuous Service of the Grantee continues through and on the relevant Annual Vesting Date or the Final Calculation Date, as applicable.
(i) As soon as practicable following the end of each Vesting Year, the Committee will determine the Total Return of the Company and each of the Peer REITs for the applicable Annual Performance Period and then perform the following calculations with respect to the Award LTIP Units:
(w) if for the applicable Annual Performance Period the Company's Total Return is below the 50th Percentile of the Total Return of the Peer REITs as a group during the same period, then none of the Grantee's Award LTIP Units will vest as of the applicable Annual Vesting Date;
(x) if for the applicable Annual Performance Period the Company's Total Return is at or above the 50th Percentile of the Total Return of the Peer REITs as a group during the same period, but below the 60th Percentile, then 20% of the Grantee's Award LTIP Units will vest as of the applicable Annual Vesting Date;
(y) if for the applicable Annual Performance Period the Company's Total Return is at or above the 60th Percentile of the Total Return of the Peer REITs as a group during the same period, but below the 70th Percentile, then 33% of the Grantee's Award LTIP Units will vest as of the applicable Annual Vesting Date;
(z) if for the applicable Annual Performance Period the Company's Total Return is at or above the 70th Percentile of the Total Return of the Peer REITs as a group during the same period, then 50% of the Grantee's Award LTIP Units will vest as of the applicable Annual Vesting Date;
(ii) To the extent that the vesting performance requirements of Section 4(a)(i) above are not satisfied for a given Vesting Year (other than the third Vesting Year to which the provisions of Section 4(a)(iii) below apply), unvested Award LTIP Units will not be forfeited, but will be eligible for vesting based on performance over a subsequent Annual Performance Period or the Cumulative Performance Period.
(iii) As soon as practicable following the Final Calculation Date, in addition to the calculations set forth in Section 4(a)(i) above with respect to the Annual Performance Period ending on such date, the Committee will determine the Total Return of the Company and each of the Peer REITs for the Cumulative Performance Period on a

cumulative basis, and then perform the following calculations with respect to the Award LTIP Units:
(x) if (I) for the Cumulative Performance Period the Company's Total Return is at or above the 40th Percentile of the Total Return of the Peer REITs as a group during the same period, but below the 60th Percentile, and (II) less than 50% of the Grantee's Award LTIP Units have become vested in the aggregate based on performance during all completed Annual Performance Periods pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) above, then that number of additional LTIP Award Units will vest as of the Final Calculation Date which is sufficient, together with the Award LTIP Units, if any, that previously became or concurrently become vested pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) above, to add up to 50% of the Grantee's Award LTIP Units;
(y) if (I) for the Cumulative Performance Period the Company's Total Return is at or above the 60th Percentile of the Total Return of the Peer REITs as a group during such period, and (II) less than 100% of the Grantee's Award LTIP Units have become vested in the aggregate based on performance during all completed Annual Performance Periods pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) above, then that number of additional LTIP Award Units will vest as of the Final Calculation Date which is sufficient, together with the Award LTIP Units, if any, that previously became or concurrently become vested pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) above, to add up to 100% of the Grantee's Award LTIP Units.
(b) Any Award LTIP Units that do not become vested pursuant to this Section 4 shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, automatically and without notice terminate, be forfeited and be and become null and void as of the Final Calculation Date, and neither the Grantee nor any of his successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Award LTIP Units.
5. Change of Control or Termination of Grantee's Service Relationship.
(a) If the Grantee is a party to a Service Agreement, the provisions of Sections 5(b), 5(c) and 5(d) below shall govern the vesting of the Grantee's Award LTIP Units exclusively in the event of a Change of Control or termination of the Grantee's service relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate, unless the Service Agreement contains provisions that expressly refer to this Section 5 and provides that those provisions of the Service Agreement shall instead govern the vesting of the Grantee's Award LTIP Units. The foregoing sentence will be deemed an amendment to any applicable Service Agreement to the extent required to apply its terms consistently with this Section 5, such that, by way of illustration, any provisions of the Service Agreement with respect to accelerated vesting or payout of the Grantee's bonus or incentive compensation awards in the event of certain types of terminations of Grantee's service relationship (such as, for example, termination at the end of the term, termination without Cause by the employer or termination for Good Reason by the employee) shall not be interpreted as requiring that any calculations set forth in Section 4 hereof be performed, or vesting occur with respect to this Award other than as specifically provided in this Section 5. In the event an entity ceases to be a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, such action shall be deemed to be a termination of employment of all employees of that entity for purposes of this Agreement, provided that the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make provision in such circumstances for accelerated vesting of some or all of the Grantee's remaining unvested Award LTIP Units that have not previously been forfeited, effective immediately prior to such event.
8
(b) In the event of a Change of Control or Qualified Termination prior to December 31, 2009, then:
(i) the calculations provided in Section 4(a)(i) hereof with respect to the Annual Performance Period then in progress shall be performed with respect to such period effective as of the date of the Change of Control or Qualified Termination as if such Annual Performance Period ended on such date and such date was the applicable Annual Vesting Date;
(ii) the calculations provided in Section 4(a)(iii) hereof with respect to the Cumulative Performance Period shall be performed as of the date of the Change of Control or Qualified Termination as if the Cumulative Performance Period ended on such date and such date were the Final Calculation Date;
(iii) the number of Award LTIP Units resulting from the above calculations shall automatically and immediately vest as of the date of the Change of Control or Qualified Termination; and
(iv) following the date of the Change of Control or Qualified Termination no further calculations pursuant to Section 4 hereof shall be performed. Any Award LTIP Units that do not become vested pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, automatically and without notice terminate, be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor any of his successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Award LTIP Units.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event vesting pursuant to this Section 5(b) is determined to constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code, then, to the extent the Grantee is a "specified employee" under Section 409A of the Code subject to the six-month delay thereunder, any such vesting or related payments to be made during the six-month period commencing on the Grantee's "separation from service" (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) shall be delayed until the expiration of such six-month period.
(d) In the event of a termination of employment or other cessation of the Grantee's Continuous Service other than a Qualified Termination, effective as of the date of such termination or cessation, all Award LTIP Units except for those that had previously become vested pursuant to Section 4 or 5 hereof shall automatically and immediately be forfeited by the Grantee and thereafter no further calculations pursuant to Section 4 hereof shall be performed. Any such forfeited Award LTIP Units shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, automatically and without notice be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor any of his successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Award LTIP Units. If the Grantee's employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or affiliate terminates as a result of his or her Retirement, the Committee may, on a case-by-case basis and in its sole discretion, provide for partial or complete vesting prior to the Retirement of all or a portion of his or her Award LTIP Units that have not previously been forfeited.
(e) To the extent that the Grantee's Service Agreement entitles the Grantee to receive any severance payments, or any other similar term used in the Grantee's Service agreement, from the Company in case of a termination of the Grantee's employment following a Change of Control or a similar event ("Change of Control Benefits"), then for purposes of calculating the Grantee's entitlement to such Change of Control Benefits any of the Award LTIP Units that vest with respect to any Vesting Year pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) shall be included as part of the Grantee's bonus amount, or any other similar term used in the Grantee's Service Agreement, for such
9
Vesting Year. The value of Award LTIP Units for purposes of determining such bonus amount shall be calculated by multiplying the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the last trading day of the applicable Vesting Year by the number of Award LTIP Units that vested on such date.
(f) To the extent that Schedule A provides for amounts or schedules of vesting that conflict with the provisions of this Section 5, the provisions of Schedule A will be controlling and determinative.
6. Payments by Award Recipients. No amount shall be payable to the Company or the Partnership by the Grantee at any time in respect of this Award.
7. Distributions. The Grantee shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to the Award LTIP Units to the extent provided for in the Partnership Agreement, as modified hereby, if applicable. The Distribution Participation Date (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) with respect to the Award LTIP Units shall be the Effective Date and the Award LTIP Units shall be entitled to the full distribution payable on Units outstanding as of the record date for the fourth 2006 quarterly distribution even though they will not have been outstanding for the whole period. To the extent that any LTIP Units are not issued until a date after the Effective Date as provided in Section 3 hereof, an amount equal to the Distribution Value attributable to such LTIP Units shall be paid to the Grantee in cash promptly following the date of such issuance. All distributions paid with respect to Award LTIP Units, including amounts paid on account of the Distribution Value, if any, and amounts paid after the Final Calculation Date but before a final determination is made pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5 hereof as to the vesting or forfeiture of Award LTIP Units, shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable when paid whether the underlying Award LTIP Units are vested or unvested.
8. Restrictions on Transfer. None of the Award LTIP Units shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or other legal or equitable proceeding) (each such action a "Transfer"), or redeemed in accordance with the Partnership Agreement (a) prior to vesting, (b) for a period of two (2) years beginning on the Effective Date other than in connection with a Change of Control, and (c) unless such Transfer is in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")), and such Transfer is in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement; provided that, upon the approval of, and subject to the terms and conditions specified by, the Committee, unvested Award LTIP Units that have been held for a period of at least two (2) years may be Transferred to (i) the spouse, children or grandchildren of the Grantee ("Immediate Family Members"), (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of the Grantee and such Immediate Family Members, (iii) a partnership in which the Grantee and such Immediate Family Members are the only partners, or (iv) one or more entities in which the Grantee has a 10% or greater equity interest, provided that the Transferee agrees in writing with the Company and the Partnership to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that subsequent transfers of unvested Award LTIP Units shall be prohibited except those in accordance with this Section 8. In connection with any Transfer of Award LTIP Units, the Partnership may require the Grantee to provide an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Partnership, that such Transfer is in compliance with all federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act). Any attempted Transfer of Award LTIP Units not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 8 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any LTIP Units as a result of any such Transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such Transfer of any LTIP Units. This Agreement is personal to the Grantee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
10
9. Changes in Capital Structure. Without duplication with the provisions of Section 6.2 of the Stock Plan, if (a) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company or other fundamental transaction similar thereto, (b) any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, reclassification, recapitalization, significant repurchases of stock, or other similar change in the capital structure of the Company shall occur, (c) any extraordinary dividend or other distribution to holders of shares of Common Stock or Units other than regular cash dividends shall be made, or (d) any other event shall occur that in each case in the good faith judgment of the Committee necessitates action by way of appropriate equitable adjustment in the terms of this Award, the LTIP or the LTIP Units, then the Committee shall take such action as it deems necessary to maintain the Grantee's rights hereunder so that they are substantially proportionate to the rights existing under this Award, the LTIP and the terms of the LTIP Units prior to such event, including, without limitation: (i) adjustments in the Award LTIP Units, Distribution Value, Total Return or other pertinent terms of this Award; and (ii) substitution of other awards under the Stock Plan or otherwise. The Grantee shall have the right to vote the Award LTIP Units if and when voting is allowed under the Partnership Agreement, regardless of whether vesting has occurred.
10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments; Modifications. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the consent of the Company and the Partnership acting through the Committee; provided that any such amendment or modification materially and adversely affecting the rights of the Grantee hereunder must be consented to by the Grantee to be effective as against him; and provided, further, that the Grantee acknowledges that the Stock Plan may be amended or discontinued in accordance with Section 6.6 thereof and that this Agreement may be amended or canceled by the Committee, on behalf of the Company and the Partnership, for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, so long as no such action shall impair the Grantee's rights under this Agreement without the Grantee's written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended in writing signed only by the Company to correct any errors or ambiguities in this Agreement and/or to make such changes that do not materially adversely affect the Grantee's rights hereunder. No promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof, have been made by the parties which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. This grant shall in no way affect the Grantee's participation or benefits under any other plan or benefit program maintained or provided by the Company.
(b) Incorporation of Stock Plan; Committee Determinations. The provisions of the Stock Plan are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth herein. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Stock Plan, this Agreement shall be controlling and determinative. The Committee will make the determinations and certifications required by this Award as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of the event or events necessitating such determinations or certifications. In the event of a Change of Control, the Committee will perform any calculations set forth in Section 4 or Section 5 hereof required in connection with such Change of Control and make any determinations relevant to vesting with respect to this Award within a period of time that enables the Company to conclude whether Award Units become vested or are forfeited not later than the date of consummation of the Change of Control.
(c) Status as a Partner. As of the grant date set forth on Schedule A, the Grantee shall be admitted as a partner of the Partnership with beneficial ownership of the number of Award LTIP Units issued to the Grantee as of such date pursuant to Section 3 hereof by: (A) signing and delivering to the Partnership a copy of this Agreement; and (B) signing, as a Limited Partner, and delivering to the Partnership a counterpart signature page to the Partnership Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A). The Partnership Agreement shall be amended from time to time as applicable
11
to reflect the issuance to the Grantee of Award LTIP Units pursuant to Section 3 hereof, if any, whereupon the Grantee shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner of the Partnership with respect to the number of LTIP Units then held by the Grantee, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified herein and in the Partnership Agreement.
(d) Status of LTIP Units under the Stock Plan. Insofar as the LTIP has been established as an incentive program of the Company and the Partnership, the Award LTIP Units are both issued as equity securities of the Partnership and granted as awards under the Stock Plan. The Company will have the right at its option, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, to issue shares of Common Stock in exchange for Units into which Award LTIP Units may have been converted pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement, and such shares of Common Stock, if issued, will be issued under the Stock Plan. The Grantee must be eligible to receive the Award LTIP Units in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and to that effect is required to complete, execute and deliver certain covenants, representations and warranties (attached as Exhibit B). The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee will have no right to approve or disapprove such determination by the Committee.
(e) Legend. The records of the Partnership evidencing the Award LTIP Units shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Partnership in its sole discretion, to the effect that such LTIP Units are subject to restrictions as set forth herein, in the Stock Plan and in the Partnership Agreement.
(f) Compliance With Securities Laws. The Partnership and the Grantee will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable securities laws. In addition, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no LTIP Units will become vested or be issued at a time that such vesting or issuance would result in a violation of any such laws.
(g) Investment Representations; Registration. The Grantee hereby makes the covenants, representations and warranties and set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. All of such covenants, warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Grantee. The Partnership will have no obligation to register under the Securities Act any LTIP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of LTIP Units. The Grantee agrees that any resale of the shares of Common Stock received upon the exchange of Units into which LTIP Units may be converted shall not occur during the "blackout periods" forbidding sales of Company securities, as set forth in the then applicable Company employee manual or insider trading policy. In addition, any resale shall be made in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom, including, without limitation, the exemption provided by Rule 144 promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule).
(h) Section 83(b) Election. In connection with each separate issuance of LTIP Units under this Award pursuant to Section 3 hereof the Grantee hereby agrees to make an election to include in gross income in the year of transfer the applicable Award LTIP Units pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and to supply the necessary information in accordance with the regulations promulgated thereunder.
(i) Severability. If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not so held invalid, and each such other provision shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the rest of such provision not held so invalid, and the rest of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.
12
(j) Governing Law. This Agreement is made under, and will be construed in accordance with, the laws of State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such state.
(k) No Obligation to Continue Position as an Employee, Consultant or Advisor. Neither the Company nor any affiliate is obligated by or as a result of this Agreement to continue to have the Grantee as an employee, consultant or advisor and this Agreement shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any affiliate to terminate the Grantee's service relationship at any time.
(l) Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company at its principal place of business and any notice to be given the Grantee shall be addressed to the Grantee at the Grantee's address as it appears on the employment records of the Company, or at such other address as the Company or the Grantee may hereafter designate in writing to the other.
(m) Withholding and Taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Grantee for income tax purposes or subject to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholding with respect to this Award, the Grantee will pay to the Company or, if appropriate, any of its affiliates, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Grantee.
(n) Headings. The headings of paragraphs hereof are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(o) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with the same effect as if each of the signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.
(p) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and any successors to the Company and the Partnership, on the one hand, and any successors to the Grantee, on the other hand, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, but this Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable or otherwise subject to hypothecation by the Grantee.
(q) 409A. This Agreement shall be construed, administered and interpreted in accordance with a good faith interpretation of Section 409A of the Code. Any provision of this Agreement that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code, or that may result in penalties under Section 409A of the Code, shall be amended, in consultation with the Grantee and with the reasonable cooperation of the Grantee and the Company, in the least restrictive manner necessary to (i) exclude the Award LTIP Units from the definition of "deferred compensation" within the meaning of such Section 409A or (ii) comply with the provisions of Section 409A, other applicable provision(s) of the Code and/or any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such statutory provisions, in each case without diminution in the value of the benefits granted hereby to the Grantee.
(r) Complete Agreement. This Agreement (together with those agreements and documents expressly referred to herein, for the purposes referred to herein) embody the complete and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, which may relate to the subject matter hereof in any way.

SCHEDULE TO EXHIBIT C
Vesting Provisions of LTIP Units
The LTIP Units are subject to performance-based vesting. Performance-based vesting will be from 0-100% based on The Macerich Company's (the "Company's") per-share total return to holders of the Company's common stock (the "Total Return") for the period from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2009 (or earlier in certain circumstances). The LTIP Units may vest depending on the percentile ranking of the Company in terms of Total Return relative to the Total Return of a group of peer REITs (the "Peer REITs"), as measured at the end of each year of the three year period (each, a "Vesting Year").
The vesting of the LTIP Units occurs in two cumulative stages. In the first stage, following the end of each Vesting Year, the Company's Compensation Committee (the "Committee") will determine the performance of the Company and each of the Peer REITs for the applicable Vesting Year and, depending on the Company's Total Return relative to the Total Return of the Peer REITs, vesting of the LTIP Units will occur as follows:
Company's Percentile Ranking |
Vesting |
||
---|---|---|---|
Less than 50% | 0 | % | |
Equal to or greater than 50% and less than 60% |
20 |
% |
|
Equal to or greater than 60% and less than 70% |

The second stage of the vesting of the LTIP Units occurs at the end of the three year vesting period (or earlier in certain circumstances). The Committee will determine the performance of the Company and each of the Peer REITs for the entire three year period and perform the following calculation: If (I) for the entire three year vesting period the Company's Total Return is at or above the 40th percentile of the Total Return of the Peer REITs, but below the 60th percentile, and (II) less than 50% of the Taxpayer's LTIP Units have become vested in the aggregate in the first stage, then that number of additional LTIP Units will vest as of the end of the third Vesting Year which is sufficient to add up to 50% of the Taxpayer's LTIP Units; if (I) for the entire three year vesting period the Company's Total Return is at or above the 60th percentile of the Total Return of the Peer REITs, and (II) less than 100% of the Taxpayer's LTIP Units have become vested in the aggregate in the first stage, then that number of additional LTIP Units will vest as of the end of the third Vesting Year which is sufficient to add up to 100% of the Taxpayer's LTIP Units.
The above vesting is conditioned upon the Taxpayer remaining an employee of the Company through the applicable vesting dates, and subject to acceleration in the event of a change of control of the Company or termination of the Taxpayer's service relationship with the Company under specified circumstances. Unvested LTIP Units are subject to forfeiture in the event of failure to vest based on the determination of the performance-based percentage.

MANAGEMENT CONTINUITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by and between THE MACERICH COMPANY, a Maryland corporation (the "Company") and [ ] (the "Executive"), this day of , .

In order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has approved the Company's entering into this Agreement [which amends and restates the Management Continuity Agreement dated as of March 15, 2002].

(2) been convicted of or pled guilty or nolo contendere to a felony; or
(3) committed an act of fraud, dishonesty or gross misconduct which is materially injurious to the Company;
Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Applicable Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or based upon the advice of counsel or independent accountants for the Company shall be conclusively presumed for purposes of this Agreement to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause under clause (1) or (3) above unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the entire membership of the Applicable Board (excluding the Executive and any relative of the Executive, if the Executive or such relative is a member of the Applicable Board) at a meeting of the Applicable Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel for the Executive, to be heard before the Applicable Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Applicable Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described in clause (1) or (3) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable detail.
"Change of Control" shall have the meaning set forth in Appendix A.
"Change of Control Period" means the period commencing on the Execution Date and ending on the third anniversary of such date; provided, however, that commencing on the date one year after the Execution Date, and on each annual anniversary of such date (such date and each annual anniversary thereafter, the "Renewal Date"), unless previously terminated, the Change of Control Period shall be automatically extended so as to terminate three years from such Renewal Date, unless at least 60 days prior to the Renewal Date, the Company shall give notice to the Executive that the Change of Control Period shall not be so extended.
"Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
"Date of Termination" means the date of receipt of a notice of termination from the Company or the Executive as applicable or any later date specified in the notice of termination, which date shall not be more than 30 days after the giving of such notice.
"Disability" means (1) a "permanent and total disability" within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, or (2) the absence of the Executive from his 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 Executive or his legal representative (such agreements as to acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld). "Incapacity" as used herein shall be limited only to a condition that substantially prevents the Executive from performing his or her duties.
"Effective Date" means the first date during the Change of Control Period on which a Change of Control occurs; provided, however that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Change of Control occurs and if the Executive's employment with the Company was terminated by the Company for no reason or any reason other than death, Disability or for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, after the public announcement of but prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, or such termination or events giving rise to such termination otherwise occurred in specific contemplation of such Change of Control (including, without limitation, at the request of a third party that has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect such Change of Control), then for the purposes of this Agreement, the "Effective Date" shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment.
"Execution Date" means the date first set forth above.
"Good Reason" means a termination of employment by the Executive during the Protected Period for any one or more of the following reasons, to the extent not remedied by the Company within
2
fifteen (15) business days after receipt by the Company of written notice from the Executive specifying in reasonable detail such occurrence, without the Executive's written consent thereto:
(1) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the Executive's position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities (whether or not occurring solely as a result of the Company's ceasing to be a publicly traded entity), excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;
(2) a change in the Executive's principal office location to a location further away from the Executive's home which is more than 30 miles from the Executive's principal office;
(3) the taking of any action by the Company to eliminate benefit plans in which the Executive participated in or was eligible to participate in immediately prior to a Change of Control without providing substitutes therefor, to materially reduce benefits thereunder or to substantially diminish the aggregate value of the incentive awards or other fringe benefits; provided that if neither a surviving entity nor its parent following a Change of Control is a publicly-held company, the failure to provide stock-based benefits shall not be deemed good reason if benefits of comparable value using recognized valuation methodology are substituted therefor; and provided further that a reduction or elimination in the aggregate of not more than 10% in aggregate benefits in connection with across the board reductions or modifications affecting similarly situated persons of executive rank in the Company or a combined organization shall not constitute Good Reason;
(4) any reduction in the Executive's Base Salary; or
(5) any material breach by the Company of this Agreement or the written employment agreement with Executive, if any.
If the Executive suffers physical or mental incapacity or dies following the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (1) through (5) above and the Executive has given the Company the requisite written notice but the Company has failed to remedy the situation prior to such physical or mental incapacity or death, the Executive's physical or mental incapacity or death shall not affect the ability of the Executive or his heirs or beneficiaries, as applicable, to treat the Executive's termination of employment as a termination for Good Reason.
"Protected Period" means the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Effective Date.
"Qualified Termination" means a termination of the Executive's employment with the Company during the Protected Period (a) by the Company for no reason, or for any reason other than for Cause, death or Disability or (b) by the Executive for Good Reason.
2. Benefits Following a Change of Control.
(a) Severance Payments. Upon a Qualified Termination, the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount equal to three (3) times the sum of (1) Executive's Base Salary and (2) the amount of the highest cash and stock portion of the Executive's annual incentive bonus (including any cash portion of an incentive bonus which the Executive has elected to convert into shares of restricted stock or stock units under the Company's Cash Bonus/Restricted Stock and Stock Unit Award Programs or other comparable express, optional stock-in-lieu of cash benefit programs) awarded to the Executive for each of the three fiscal years preceding the Date of Termination (the "Bonus Amount"). If the annual incentive bonus has not yet been awarded for the fiscal year immediately preceding the Date of Termination, the measurement period will be for each of the
3
four fiscal years preceding the Date of Termination. For purposes of calculation of the Bonus Amount the following shall also be included: (i) any supplemental or special cash and/or stock bonus awarded to the Executive for any of the applicable years and (ii) the value of any outstanding LTIP units that vest during the applicable year as provided in the applicable award agreement. The severance amount described in this paragraph shall be paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum as soon as practicable after the Date of Termination, but in no event later than 30 days after the Date of Termination, provided that, to the extent required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code, amounts and benefits to be paid or provided under this Section 2(a) shall be paid or provided to the Executive on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Executive's "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
(b) Welfare Benefits. Upon a Qualified Termination, from the Date of Termination until the third anniversary of the Date of Termination or, to the extent required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code, the end of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs (the "Benefit Continuation Period"), the Company shall continue welfare benefits for the Executive and/or the Executive's family at least equal to those that would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control if the Executive's employment had not been terminated or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its Affiliates and their families at no cost to the Executive or his family; provided, however, that, if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive such benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan, and such other benefits shall not be provided by the Company, during such applicable period of eligibility. The Executive's entitlement to COBRA continuation coverage under Section 4980B of the Code ("COBRA Coverage") shall not be offset by the provision of benefits under this Section 2(b) and the period of COBRA Coverage shall commence at the end of the Benefit Continuation Period.
(c) Payment of Accrued Obligations.
Upon a Qualified Termination, the Executive will receive in addition to any other payments that may become due under this Agreement, the following:
(1) payment of the sum of (A) the Executive's Base Salary through the Date of Termination, (B) the Executive's accrued vacation pay and (C) the Executive's accrued annual incentive bonus for the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, in each case, to the extent not theretofore paid, which shall be paid to the Executive, subject to any deferral elections then in effect, in a lump sum in cash as soon as practicable after the Date of Termination but in no event later than 30 days after the Date of Termination;
(2) payment in an amount equal to the product of (A) the Bonus Amount and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the bonus year from the commencement of the bonus year until the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365, which shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash as soon as practicable after the Date of Termination but in no event later than 30 days after the Date of Termination, provided that, to the extent required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code, such amount shall be paid to the Executive on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Executive's "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; and
4
(3) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, payment or provision of any Other Benefits (as defined in Section 10(b)).
3. Equity Awards. Upon a Change of Control, notwithstanding any provision of any plan or applicable award agreement to the contrary as in effect on the Effective Date, (1) any shares of restricted stock held by the Executive that remain unvested shall immediately vest and shall no longer be subject to any restrictions unless such restrictions are required by any applicable law or regulation; (2) any restricted stock units held by the Executive that remain unvested shall immediately vest and shall no longer be subject to any restrictions unless such restrictions are required by any applicable law or regulation; (3) any stock options held by the Executive, to the extent that they are unvested and unexercisable, shall vest in full and become immediately exercisable; and (4) any outstanding LTIP units shall vest as provided in the applicable award agreement. In the case of a Change of Control under subsection (3) of the Change of Control definition (merger or similar transaction), such restricted stock, stock units or stock options shall vest effective immediately prior to such Change of Control to the extent necessary in order to enable the realization of the benefits of such acceleration. Any stock options held by the Executive that become vested and exercisable under this Section 3 or any other agreement or are otherwise vested shall remain exercisable for a period at least until the first to occur of (1) the expiration of the full term of the option and (2) one year after the date on which the Change of Control occurs, subject only to Section 6.2(b) of the 1994 Plan, the 2000 Plan and the 2003 Plan or any comparable provisions of any plan under which the options are granted; provided that, if Section 409A of the Code requires a shorter exercise period such stock options shall remain exercisable only until the maximum period permitted under Section 409A.
4. Soliciting Employees. Executive agrees that he will not, from the Effective Date through a period of two years following the later of termination of his employment or the expiration of this Agreement, directly or indirectly solicit or recruit any of the Company employees (other than through general advertising not specifically directed at such current or former Company employees) who earned annually $25,000 or more as a Company employee during the last six months of his or her own employment to work for him or any business, individual, partnership, firm, corporation, or other entity, whether for him or such entity, in competition with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.
5. Confidential Information.
(a) The Executive shall, beginning on the Execution Date and for the term of this Agreement and thereafter in perpetuity, hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data, whether in tangible or intangible form, including but not limited to, information relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, or their respective businesses, plans, finances, tenants, customers, partners, properties, processes or means of operation, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive's employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, use (other than in furtherance of the Company's business), or communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it.
5
(b) Executive agrees that all lists, materials, books, files, reports, correspondence, records, and other documents ("Company Material") used, prepared or made available to Executive, shall be and remain the property of the Company. Upon the Executive's termination of employment or the expiration of this Agreement, all Company Materials shall be returned immediately to the Company, and Executive shall not make or retain any copies hereof.
6. Certain Additional Payments by the Company.
(a) Amount of Section 280G Additional Payment. Anything in this Agreement or any other agreement between the Executive and the Company (including but not limited to any restricted stock award agreement under the 1994 Plan, the 2000 Plan, and/or the 2003 Plan) to the contrary notwithstanding, if it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 6) (a "Payment") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax, but excluding any income taxes and penalties imposed pursuant to Section 409A, (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment"). The Gross-Up Payment shall equal an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(a), if it shall be determined that the Executive is entitled to the Gross-Up Payment, but that the Parachute Value (as defined below) of all Payments does not exceed 110% of an amount equal to 2.99 times the Executive's "base amount" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code (the "Safe Harbor Amount"), then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to the Executive and the amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced so that the Parachute Value of all Payments, in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount. The reduction of the amounts payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing the payments under Section 2(a), unless an alternative method of reduction is elected by the Executive, and in any event shall be made in such a manner as to maximize the Value (as defined below) of all Payments actually made to the Executive. For purposes of reducing the Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, only amounts payable under this Agreement (and no other Payments) shall be reduced. If the reduction of the amount payable under this Agreement would not result in a reduction of the Parachute Value of all Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, no amounts payable under the Agreement shall be reduced pursuant to this Section 6(a). For the purposes of this Section 6(a), "Parachute Value" shall mean the present value of a Payment as of the date of a change of control for purposes of Section 280G of the Code of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a "parachute payment" under Section 280G(b)(2), as determined by the Accounting Firm for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the Excise Tax would apply to such Payment, and "Value" shall mean the economic present value of a Payment as of the date of the change of control for purposes of 280G of the Code, as determined by the Accounting Firm using the discount rate required by Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.
(b) Determination of Amount. Subject to the Provisions of Section 6(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 6, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment or Parachute Value and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected in the discretion of the Company immediately prior to the Change of Control (the
6
"Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. If the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Executive may appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to and payable under this Section 6, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion that failure to report the Excise Tax on the Executive's applicable federal income tax return would not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. If the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 6(c) and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.
(c) Claim Process. The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:
(1) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim,
(2) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,
(3) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and
(4) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue
7
for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall pay the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such payment or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such payment; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.
(d) Refunds. If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount paid by the Company pursuant to Section 6(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company's complying with the requirements of Section 6(c)) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount paid by the Company pursuant to Section 6(c), a determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then such payment shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such payment shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.
7. Full Settlement; Resolution of Disputes.
(a) No Offset. Subject to Section 2(b), the Company's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive, except under this Agreement.
(b) No Mitigation. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action to attempt to reduce any of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement. Further, except as otherwise provided under Section 2(b), amounts or benefits hereunder shall not be reduced if the Executive obtains other employment.
(c) Arbitration of Disputes.
(1) Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its enforcement, arbitrability or interpretation, or because of an alleged breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of its provisions, or arising out of or relating in any way to the Executive's employment or termination of the same or conduct thereafter, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any alleged violation of statute, common law or public policy, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration, to be held in Los Angeles County, California, before a single arbitrator, in accordance with California Civil Procedure Code §§ 1280 et seq. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, then by striking from a list of arbitrators supplied by the American Arbitration Association or JAMS/Endispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion revealing, however briefly, the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator's award is based. The Company will pay the arbitrator's fees and arbitration
8
expenses and any other costs associated with the arbitration hearing. The Company agrees to pay as incurred (within 10 days following the Company's receipt of an invoice from the Executive), to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses that the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus, in each case, interest on any delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the Executive's or the Company's ability to seek from a court injunctive or equitable relief.
(2) Except as may be necessary to enter judgment upon the award or to the extent required by applicable law, all claims, defenses and proceedings (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the existence of a controversy and the fact that there is an arbitration proceeding) shall be treated in a confidential manner by the arbitrator, the parties and their counsel, each of their agents, and employees and all others acting on behalf of or in concert with them. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no one shall divulge to any third party or person not directly involved in the arbitration the content of the pleadings, papers, orders, hearings, trials, or awards in the arbitration, except as may be necessary to enter judgment upon an award as required by applicable law. Any controversy relating to the arbitration, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to prevent or compel arbitration or to confirm, correct, vacate or otherwise enforce an arbitration award, shall be filed under seal with the court, to the extent permitted by law.
8. Restraint on Alienation.
None of the benefits, payments, proceeds or claims of the Executive shall be subject to any claim of any creditor and, in particular, the same shall not be subject to attachment or garnishment or other legal process by any creditor, nor shall the Executive have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments of proceeds which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, benefits which are in pay status may be subject to a garnishment or wage assignment or authorized or mandatory deductions made pursuant to a court order, a tax levy or applicable law or the Executive's elections.
9. Grantor Trust.
The Company may establish a trust with a bank trustee, for the purpose of paying benefits under this Agreement. If so established, the trust shall be a grantor trust subject to the claims of the Company's creditors and shall, immediately prior to a Change of Control, be funded in cash or common stock of the Company or such other assets as the Company deems appropriate with an amount equal to 100 percent of the aggregate benefits payable under this Agreement assuming that the Executive incurred a Qualified Termination immediately following the Change of Control. Notwithstanding the establishment of any such trust, the Executive's rights hereunder will be solely those of a general unsecured creditor.
10. Entire Understanding.
(a) This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matters contemplated by this Agreement, except with respect to any outstanding LTIP units. Such agreements and terms supersede all prior written or oral communications, negotiations, understandings or agreements of any kind with respect to such subject matters [,including without limitation the Management Continuity Agreement dated as of March 15, 2002]. [or in the case of Tony Grossi [the Employment Agreement dated as of November 1, 2006]

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or its Affiliates and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any other contract or agreement with the Company or its Affiliates. Amounts that are vested benefits or that the Executive and/or the Executive's dependents are otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any other contract or agreement with the Company or its Affiliates at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement (the "Other Benefits"). The benefit provided pursuant to Section 2 above shall be provided in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other accrued or vested or earned but deferred compensation, rights, options or other benefits which may be owed to the Executive upon or following termination, including but not limited to accrued vacation or sick pay, amounts or benefits payable under any bonus or other compensation plans, stock option plan, stock ownership plan, stock purchase plan, life insurance plan, health plan, disability plan or similar or successor plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Executive's resignation under this Agreement with or without Good Reason, shall in no way affect the Executive's ability to terminate employment by reason of the Executive's "retirement" under any of the Company's or its Affiliate's compensation or benefits plans, programs, policies or arrangements or substitute plans adopted by the Company or its successors, including without limitation, any retirement or pension plans or to be eligible to receive benefits under any compensation or benefits plans, programs, policies or arrangements, including without limitation any retirement or pension plan of the Company and its Affiliates or substitute plans adopted by the Company or its successors, and any termination which otherwise qualifies as Good Reason shall be treated as such even if it is also a "retirement" for purposes of any such plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to Section 2(a) of this Agreement, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance pay or benefits under any severance plan, program or policy of the Company and its Affiliates, unless otherwise specifically provided therein in a specific reference to this Agreement.
11. Successors.
(a) Executive. This Agreement and rights under it are personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable or assigned by the Executive. If the Executive dies or suffers a Disability after a Qualified Termination, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's heirs or legal representatives, as the case may be.
(b) Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, including any transferee of all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in the preceding sentence, "Company" shall mean the Company as previously defined herein and any successor to its business and/or assets described in the preceding sentence that assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.
12. Indemnification.
In any circumstance where, under the Company's certificate of incorporation, bylaws, The Macerich Partnership, L.P. Limited Partnership Agreement, or applicable law, the Company has the power to indemnify or advance expenses to the Executive in respect of any judgments, fines,
10
settlements, loss, costs or expertise (including attorneys' fees) of any nature relating to or arising out of the Executive's activities as an agent, employee, officer or director of the Company or in any other capacity on behalf of or at the request of the Company, then the Company will promptly, upon written request, indemnify and advance expenses to the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including but not limited to, making such findings and determinations and taking any and all such actions as the Company may, under applicable law, be permitted to have the discretion to take so as to effectuate such indemnification or advancement. Such agreement by the Company will not be deemed to impair any other obligation of the Company or The Macerich Partnership, L.P. respecting indemnification of the Executive arising out of this or any other Agreement or promise by the Company or under the Company's certificate of incorporation, bylaws or any statute.
13. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.
(b) No Contract or Right of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement (1) shall be construed as creating an express or implied contract of employment, changing Executive's status as an employee at will, if that is or becomes the case, giving the Executive any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, or giving the Executive the right to any particular level of compensation or benefits nor (2) interfere in any way with the right of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate, as the case may be, to terminate the Executive's employment at any time with or without Cause, subject in either case to any express payment and other obligations of the Company under this Agreement in the case of a termination of employment after the Effective Date.
(c) Termination Prior to Effective Date. If, prior to the Effective Date, the Executive's employment with the Company terminates, then the Executive shall have no rights under this Agreement.
11
(d) Headings. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.
(e) Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

(h) Tax Withholdings. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under or pursuant to this Agreement all taxes as legally shall be required (including without limitation, and United States federal taxes and any other state, city or local taxes).
(i) Strict Compliance; Severability. The Executive's or the Company's failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision hereof or any other provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right with respect to any subsequent lack of compliance, or of any other provision or right of this Agreement. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, if the essential terms from the perspective of both parties remain enforceable.
(j) Section 409A Savings Clause. In addition to any specific references to Section 409A of the Code in this Agreement, if any compensation or benefits provided by this Agreement may result in the application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall, in consultation with the Executive, modify the Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary in order to exclude such compensation from the definition of "deferred compensation" within the meaning of such Section 409A or in order to comply with the provisions of Section 409A, other applicable provision(s) of the Code and/or any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such statutory provisions and without any diminution in the value of the payments to the Executive.
