that the act or omission was unlawful. In addition, the MGCL requires the Company, as conditions to advancing expenses, to obtain (1)&nbsp;a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the
standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company and (2)&nbsp;a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company if it is ultimately determined that the standard of
conduct was not met. The MGCL requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which the Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to
which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify a director or officer for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right
of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received unless, in either case, a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. The Bylaws specify the procedures for indemnification
and advance of expenses. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The partnership agreement of the Company&#146;s operating partnership, The Macerich Partnership, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the &#147;Operating Partnership&#148;), also provides for indemnification of the Company and its officers and directors similar to that provided to the Company&#146;s officers and directors in the Charter and Bylaws,
and includes limitations on the liability of the Company and its officers and directors to the Operating Partnership and its partners similar to those contained in the Charter and Bylaws. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company and the Operating Partnership have entered into indemnification agreements with the Company&#146;s directors and certain of its
executive officers. The indemnification agreements require, among other things, that the Company and the Operating Partnership indemnify those directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, and advance to them all related
reasonable expenses, subject to certain defenses. The Company and the Operating Partnership must also indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by those directors and executive officers seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification
agreements, and cover them under the Company&#146;s director&#146;s and officer&#146;s liability insurance. Although the indemnification agreements offer substantially the same scope of coverage afforded by provisions in the Charter and Bylaws and
the partnership agreement, it provides greater assurance to directors and officers that indemnification will be available, because, as a contract, it cannot be modified unilaterally in the future by the Company&#146;s board of directors, by the
Company&#146;s stockholders or by the partners of the Operating Partnership to eliminate the rights it provides. </P>

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL") permits a corporation formed in Maryland to include in its charter a provision
limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (1) active and deliberate dishonesty which is established by a final judgment and is material to
that cause of action, or (2) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services. The Company's Articles of Amendment and Restatement, as further amended, corrected and supplemented (the "Charter"),
includes a provision that eliminates the liability of the Company's directors and officers to the Company and to its stockholders for money damages to the fullest extent permitted by the MGCL.
1
The Charter and the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws")
require the Company to indemnify its present and former officers and directors, whether serving the Company or at its request another entity, to the maximum extent permitted under the MGCL, and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of
the final disposition of the proceeding to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by the laws of Maryland. The Bylaws also permit the Company, with the approval of the Company's board of directors, to indemnify and advance expenses to
any person who served a predecessor of the Company in any of the capacities described above and to any employee or agent of the Company or a predecessor of the Company. The Charter and Bylaws provide that the indemnification
rights are non-exclusive of any
other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled. The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers,
among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or are threatened to be made a party or witness by reason of their service
in those or other capacities unless it is established that (1) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith, or (b) was the result of active
and deliberate dishonesty; (2) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe
that the act or omission was unlawful. In addition, the MGCL requires the Company, as conditions to advancing expenses, to obtain (1) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the
standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company and (2) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company if it is ultimately determined that the standard of
conduct was not met. The MGCL requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which the Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to
which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify a director or officer for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right
of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received unless, in either case, a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. The Bylaws specify the procedures for indemnification
and advance of expenses.
The partnership agreement of the Company's operating partnership, The Macerich Partnership, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), also provides for indemnification of the Company and its officers and directors similar to that provided to the Company's officers and directors in the Charter and Bylaws,
and includes limitations on the liability of the Company and its officers and directors to the Operating Partnership and its partners similar to those contained in the Charter and Bylaws.
The Company and the Operating Partnership have entered into indemnification agreements with the Company's directors and certain of its
executive officers. The indemnification agreements require, among other things, that the Company and the Operating Partnership indemnify those directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, and advance to them all related
reasonable expenses, subject to certain defenses. The Company and the Operating Partnership must also indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by those directors and executive officers seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification
agreements, and cover them under the Company's director's and officer's liability insurance. Although the indemnification agreements offer substantially the same scope of coverage afforded by provisions in the Charter and Bylaws and
the partnership agreement, it provides greater assurance to directors and officers that indemnification will be available, because, as a contract, it cannot be modified unilaterally in the future by the Company's board of directors, by the
Company's stockholders or by the partners of the Operating Partnership to eliminate the rights it provides.
