                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)

            NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (Dollars in thousands)
                                   (Unaudited)




1.       Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation:

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Macerich
         Company (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
         accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial
         information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
         Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and
         footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and have
         not been audited by independent public accountants.

         The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read
         in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and
         related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
         the year ended December 31, 2000. In the opinion of management, all
         adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
         a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods
         have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily
         indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The
         accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 has
         been derived from the audited financial statements, but does not
         include all disclosures required by GAAP.

         Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2000 consolidated
         financial statements to conform to the 2001 financial statement
         presentation.

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
         Accounting Bulletin 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements"
         ("SAB 101"), which became effective for periods beginning after
         December 15, 1999. This bulletin modified the timing of revenue
         recognition for percentage rent received from tenants. This change will
         defer recognition of a significant amount of percentage rent for the
         first three calendar quarters into the fourth quarter. The Company
         applied this accounting change as of January 1, 2000. The cumulative
         effect of this change in accounting principle, at the adoption date of
         January 1, 2000, including the pro rata share of joint ventures, was
         approximately $1,750.

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 133, "Accounting
         for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS 133") which
         requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet, measured
         at fair value. Changes in the fair values of those derivatives will be
         accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it
         qualifies for hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge accounting
         is that the hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving
         offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows. In June 1999, the FASB
         issued SFAS 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
         Activities," which delays the implementation of SFAS 133 from January
         1, 2000 to January 1, 2001. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138,
         "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
         Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133," ("SFAS138"),
         which amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS 133. As a
         result of the adoption of SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001, the Company
         recorded a transition adjustment of $9,445 to accumulated other
         comprehensive income related to treasury rate lock transactions settled
         in prior years. The entire transition adjustment was reflected in the
         quarter ended March 31, 2001. The transition adjustment of $9,445, less
         minority interest of $2,297 and amortization of $659 for the six months
         ended June 30, 2001, would be subtracted from net income to arrive at
         comprehensive income of $16,418. The Company expects that $1,328 will
         be reclassified from

1.      Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation - Continued:

       accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings for the year ended
       December 31, 2001. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Company
       reclassified $331 from accumulated other comprehensive income to
       earnings.

       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 six and
       three months ending June 30, 2001 and 2000. The computation of diluted
       earnings per share does not include the effect of outstanding restricted
       stock and common stock options issued under the employee and director
       stock incentive plans as they are antidilutive using the treasury method.
       The Operating Partnership units ("OP units") not held by the Company have
       been included in the diluted EPS calculation since they are redeemable on
       a one-for-one basis. The following table reconciles the basic and diluted
       earnings per share calculation:

         partner of, and owns a majority of the ownership interests in, The

         ownership interest in 46 regional shopping centers and five community
         shopping centers aggregating approximately 42 million square feet of
         gross leasable area ("GLA"). These 51 regional and community shopping
         centers are referred to hereinafter as the "Centers", unless the
         context otherwise requires. The Company is a self-administered and
         self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") and conducts all of

3.       Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and the Management
         Companies - Continued:

   Significant accounting policies used by the unconsolidated joint ventures and
   the Management Companies are similar to those used by the Company.

   Included in mortgage notes payable are amounts due to affiliates of
   Northwestern Mutual Life ("NML") of $159,654 and $161,281 for the periods
   ended June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. NML is considered a
   related party because it is a joint venture partner with the Company in
   Macerich Northwestern Associates. Interest expense incurred on these
   borrowings amounted to $5,367 and $4,645 for the six months ended June 30,
   2001 and 2000, respectively; and $2,686 and $2,150 for the three months ended

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

(b)           On May 2, 2001, the Company refinanced the debt on Capitola Mall.
              The prior loan was paid in full and a new note was issued for
              $48,500 bearing interest at a fixed rate of 7.13% and maturing May
              15, 2011.

(c)           This amount represents the monthly payment of principal and
              interest. In addition, contingent interest, as defined in the loan
              agreement, may be due to the extent that 35% of the amount by
              which the property's gross receipts (as defined in the loan
              agreement) exceeds a base amount specified therein. Contingent
              interest expense recognized by the Company was $278 and $74 for
              the six and three months ended June 30, 2001, respectively; and
              $236 and $106 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2000,
              respectively.

(d)           This note was issued at a discount. The discount is being
              amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest
              method. At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the unamortized
              discount was $314 and $331, respectively.

5.       Mortgage Notes Payable, Continued:

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

(f)      These loans were paid off in full on March 31, 2001.

(g)      On October 2, 2000, the Company  refinanced  this loan with a 10 year
         fixed rate $85,000 loan bearing  interest at 7.70%.  The prior loan
         bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%.

(h)      On August 31, 2000, the Company refinanced the debt on Vintage
         Faire Mall. The prior loan was paid in full and a new note was
         issued for $70,000 bearing interest at a fixed rate of 7.89% and
         maturing September 1, 2010. The Company incurred a loss on early
         extinguishment of the prior debt in 2000 of $984.

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

(j)      In connection with the acquisition of this Center, the joint
         venture assumed $39,425 of debt. At acquisition, this debt was
         recorded at its fair value of $41,475 which included an
         unamortized premium of $2,050. This premium was being amortized as
         interest expense over the life of the loan using the effective
         interest method. The joint venture's monthly debt service was $349
         and was calculated based on an 8.60% interest rate. On June 1,
         2000, the joint venture paid off in full the prior debt and a new
         note was issued for $61,000 bearing interest at a fixed rate of
         8.06% and maturing June 2010. The new loan is interest only until
         December 31, 2001. Effective January 1, 2002, monthly principal
         and interest of $450 will be payable through maturity. The new
         debt is cross-collateralized by Kitsap Mall and Kitsap Place.

(k)      In connection with the acquisition of this property, the joint
         venture assumed $127,000 of collateralized fixed rate notes (the
         "Notes"). The Notes bear interest at an average fixed rate of
         7.20% and mature in August 2005. The Notes require the joint
         venture to deposit all cash flow from the property operations with
         a trustee to meet its obligations under the Notes. Cash in excess
         of the required amount, as defined, is released. Included in cash
         and cash equivalents is $750 of restricted cash deposited with the
         trustee at June 30, 2001 and at December 31, 2000.

(l)      On July 28, 2000, the joint venture placed a $16,125 floating rate
         note on the property bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and
         maturing July 2002. At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the
         total interest was 7.75% and 9.0%, respectively.

(m)      Concurrent with this acquisition, the joint venture placed $76,700
         of debt and obtained a construction loan for an additional
         $16,000. Principal is drawn on the construction loan as costs are
         incurred. As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, $15,291 and
         $15,038 of principal has been drawn under the construction loan,
         respectively.

5.       Mortgage Notes Payable, Continued:

(n)        On December 1, 2000, the joint venture refinanced the debt on
           Stonewood Mall. The prior loan was paid in full and a new note was
           issued for $77,750 bearing interest at a fixed rate of 7.41% and
           maturing December 11, 2010. The joint venture incurred a loss on
           early extinguishment of the prior debt in 2000 of $375.

(o)        In connection  with the acquisition of these Centers,  the joint
           venture assumed  $485,000 of mortgage notes payable which are
           secured by the properties.  At acquisition, the $300,000 fixed rate
           portion of this debt reflected a fair value of $322,700, which
           included an unamortized premium of $22,700.  This premium is being
           amortized as interest expense over the life of the loan using the
           effective interest method. At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000,
           the unamortized balance of the debt premium was $14,833 and $16,113,
           respectively.  This debt is due in May 2006 and requires monthly
           payments of $1,852. $184,500 of this debt is due in May 2003 and
           requires monthly interest payments at a variable weighted average
           rate(based on LIBOR)of 5.67% and 7.21% at June 30, 2001 and December
           31, 2000, respectively.  This variable rate debt is covered by an
           interest rate cap agreement which effectively prevents the interest
           rate from exceeding 11.53%. On April 12, 2000, the joint venture
           issued $138,500 of additional mortgage notes which are secured by the
           properties and are due in May 2006. $57,100 of this debt requires
           fixed monthly interest payments of $387 at a weighted average rate of
           8.13% while the floating rate notes of $81,400 require monthly
           interest payments at a variable weighted average rate(based on LIBOR)
           of 5.54% and 7.08% at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000,
           respectively.  This variable rate debt is covered by an interest rate
           cap agreement which effectively prevents the interest rate from
           exceeding 11.83%.

(p)        This debt is interest only until January 2001 at which time monthly
           payments of principal and interest will be due in the amount of $299.

         The Company periodically enters into treasury lock agreements in order
         to hedge its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on anticipated
         financings. Under these agreements, the Company pays or receives an
         amount equal to the difference between the treasury lock rate and the
         market rate on the date of settlement, based on the notional amount of
         the hedge. The realized gain or loss on the contracts was recorded,
         prior to January 1, 2001, on the balance sheet in other assets and
         amortized as interest expense over the period of the hedged loans. As
         of January 1, 2001, in accordance with SFAS 133, the gain or loss on
         the contracts has been reclassified to accumulated other comprehensive
         income on the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2001, no treasury lock
         agreements were outstanding.

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

         Total interest capitalized, including the prorata share of joint
         ventures, during the six and three months ended June 30, 2001, was
         $2,564 and $1,320, respectively; and total interest capitalized during
         the six and three months ended June 30, 2000 was $3,411 and $2,100,
         respectively.

         The fair value of mortgage notes payable, including the pro rata share
         of joint ventures, at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 is estimated
         to be approximately $1,938,980 and $2,009,932, respectively, based on
         current interest rates for comparable loans.

6.       Bank and Other Notes Payable:

         The Company has a credit facility of $150,000 with a maturity of May
         2002. In August 2001, the Company expanded this line of credit to
         $175,000. The interest rate on such credit facility fluctuates between
         1.35% and 1.80% over LIBOR depending on leverage levels. As of June 30,
         2001 and December 31, 2000, $144,000 and $59,000 of borrowings were
         outstanding under this line of credit at interest rates of 5.64% and
         7.90%, respectively.

         Additionally, the Company issued $10,776 in letters of credit
         guaranteeing performance by the Company of certain obligations. The
         Company does not believe that these letters of credit will result in a
         liability to the Company.

         During January 1999, the Company entered into a bank construction loan
         agreement to fund $89,250 of costs related to the redevelopment of
         Pacific View. The loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% through 2000.
         In January 2001, the interest rate was reduced to LIBOR plus 1.75% and
         the loan matures in February 2002. Principal was drawn as construction
         costs were incurred. As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, $89,250
         and $88,340 of principal had been drawn under the loan at interest
         rates of 5.56% and 8.63%, respectively. On July 10, 2001, the Company
         paid off this loan in full and a permanent loan was issued for $89,000,
         expandable up to $96,000 subject to certain conditions, bearing
         interest at a fixed rate of 7.16% and maturing August 31, 2011.

7.       Convertible Debentures:

         During 1997, the Company issued and sold $161,400 of convertible
         subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") due 2002. The Debentures,
         which were sold at par, bear interest at 7.25% annually (payable
         semi-annually) and are convertible into common stock at any time, on or
         after 60 days, from the date of issue at a conversion price of $31.125
         per share. In November and December 2000, the Company purchased and
         retired $10,552 of the Debentures. The Company recorded a gain on early
         extinguishment of debt of $1,018 related to the transaction. The
         Debentures mature on December 15, 2002 and are callable by the Company
         after June 15, 2002 at par plus accrued interest.

8.       Related-Party Transactions:

         The Company engaged the Management Companies to manage the operations
         of its properties and certain unconsolidated joint ventures. For the
         six and three months ending June 30, 2001, management fees of $757 and
         $0, respectively; and for the six and three months ending June 30,
         2000, management fees of $1,437 and $724, respectively, were paid to
         the Management Companies by the Company. For the six and three months
         ending June 30, 2001, management fees of $3,561 and $1,789
         respectively; and for the six and three months ending June 30, 2000,
         management fees of $3,449 and $1,752, respectively, were paid to the
         Management Companies by the joint ventures.

         Certain mortgage notes are held by one of the Company's joint venture
         partners. Interest expense in connection with these notes was $3,959
         and $1,474 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2001,
         respectively; and $5,042 and $2,523 for the six and three months ended
         June 30, 2000, respectively. Included in accounts payable and accrued
         expenses is interest payable to these partners of $249 and $512 at June
         30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

8.       Related-Party Transactions - Continued:

         In 1997 and 1999 certain executive officers received loans from the
         Company totaling $6,500. These loans are full recourse to the
         executives. $6,000 of the loans were issued under the terms of the
         employee stock incentive plan, bear interest at 7%, are due in 2007 and
         2009 and are secured by Company common stock owned by the executives.
         On February 9, 2000, $300 of the $6,000 of loans was forgiven with
         respect to three of these officers and charged to compensation expense.
         The $500 loan issued in 1997 is non interest bearing and is forgiven
         ratably over a five year term. These loans receivable are included in
         other assets at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000.

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

9.       Commitments and Contingencies:

         The Company has certain properties subject to noncancellable operating
         ground leases. The leases expire at various times through 2070, subject
         in some cases to options to extend the terms of the lease. Certain
         leases provide for contingent rent payments based on a percentage of
         base rental income, as defined. Ground rent expenses, net of amounts
         capitalized, were $85 and $77 for the six and three months ended June
         30, 2001, respectively. Ground rent expenses, net of amounts
         capitalized, were $170 and ($28) for the six and three months ended
         June 30, 2000, respectively. There were no contingent rents incurred in
         either periods.

         Perchloroethylene ("PCE") has been detected in soil and groundwater in
         the vicinity of a dry cleaning establishment at North Valley Plaza,
         formerly owned by a joint venture of which the Company was a 50%
         member. The property was sold on December 18, 1997. The California
         Department of Toxic Substances Control ("DTSC") advised the Company in
         1995 that very low levels of Dichloroethylene ("1,2 DCE"), a
         degradation byproduct of PCE, had been detected in a municipal water
         well located 1/4 mile west of the dry cleaners, and that the dry
         cleaning facility may have contributed to the introduction of 1,2 DCE
         into the water well. According to DTSC, the maximum contaminant level
         ("MCL") for 1,2 DCE which is permitted in drinking water is 6 parts per
         billion ("ppb"). The 1,2 DCE was detected in the water well at a
         concentration of 1.2 ppb, which is below the MCL. The Company has
         retained an environmental consultant and has initiated extensive
         testing of the site. 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.
         Approximately $15 and $29 have already been incurred by the joint
         venture for remediation, professional and legal fees for the periods
         ending June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. An additional $241 remains
         reserved by the joint venture as of June 30, 2001, which management has
         estimated as its remaining obligation for the remediation. The joint
         venture has been sharing costs with former owners of the property.

9.       Commitments and Contingencies, Continued:

         The Company acquired Fresno Fashion Fair in December 1996. Asbestos has
         been detected in structural fireproofing throughout much of the Center.
         Testing data conducted by professional environmental consulting firms
         indicates that the fireproofing is largely inaccessible to building
         occupants and is well adhered to the structural members. Additionally,
         airborne concentrations of asbestos were well within OSHA's permissible
         exposure limit ("PEL") of .1 fcc. The accounting for this acquisition
         includes a reserve of $3,300 to cover future removal of this asbestos,
         as necessary. The Company incurred $54 and $24 in remediation costs for
         the six months ending June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. An
         additional $2,703 remains reserved at June 30, 2001.

10.      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.

         On June 17, 1998, the Company issued 5,487,471 shares of Series B
         cumulative convertible redeemable preferred stock ("Series B Preferred
         Stock") for proceeds totaling $150,000 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
         and Series B Preferred Stock have not been declared and/or paid.

         The holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock
         have redemption rights if a change of control of the Company occurs, as
         defined under the respective Articles Supplementary for each series.
         Under such circumstances, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
         and Series B Preferred Stock 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 their respective
         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.

11.      Subsequent Events:

         On August 9, 2001, a dividend/distribution of $0.53 per share was
         declared for common stockholders and OP unit holders of record on
         August 20, 2001. In addition, the Company declared a dividend of $0.53
         on the Company's Series A Preferred Stock and a dividend of $0.53 on
         the Company's Series B Preferred Stock. All dividends/distributions
         will be payable on September 10, 2001.

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
     Operations

         The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated balance
         sheet of The Macerich Company as of June 30, 2001, and also compares

         statements include all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of
         management, necessary to reflect the fair presentation of the results
         for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a
         normal recurring nature.

                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)

      Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
      of Operations, Continued:

         Pacific View (formerly known as Buenaventura Mall), Crossroads
         Mall-Boulder and Parklane Mall are currently under redevelopment and
         are referred to herein as the "Redevelopment Centers." All other
         Centers, excluding the Redevelopment Centers, are referred to herein as
         the "Same Centers," unless the context otherwise requires.

         Revenues include rents attributable to the accounting practice of
         straight lining of rents which requires rent to be recognized each year
         in an amount equal to the average rent over the term of the lease,
         including fixed rent increases over that period. The amount of straight
         lined rents, included in consolidated revenues, recognized for the six
         and three months ended June 30, 2001 was ($0.1) million and ($0.2)
         million, respectively; compared to $0.6 million and $0.4 million for
         the six and three months ended June 30, 2000. Additionally, the Company
         recognized through equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures,
         $0.7 million and $0.3 million as its pro rata share of straight lined
         rents from joint ventures for the six and three months ended June 30,
         2001, respectively; compared to $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the
         six and three months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. These decreases
         resulted from the Company structuring the majority of its new leases
         using annual Consumer Price Index ("CPI") increases, which generally do
         not require straight lining treatment. The Company believes that using
         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.

         The bankruptcy and/or closure of an Anchor, or its sale to a less
         desirable retailer, could adversely affect customer traffic in a Center
         and thereby reduce the income generated by that Center. Furthermore,
         the closing of an Anchor could, under certain circumstances, allow
         certain other Anchors or other tenants to terminate their leases or
         cease operating their stores at the Center or otherwise adversely
         affect occupancy at the Center. Other retail stores at the Centers may
         also seek the protection of bankruptcy laws and/or close stores, which
         could result in the termination of such tenants and thus cause a
         reduction in cash flow generated by the Centers.

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

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
     of Operations, Continued:

Results of Operations

   Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000

         Revenues

         Minimum and percentage rents increased by 3.2% to $101.2 million in
         2001 from $98.1 million in 2000. Approximately $1.8 million of the
         increase is attributable to the Same Centers and $1.3 million of the
         increase relates to the Redevelopment Centers.

         Tenant recoveries increased to $52.2 million in 2001 from $49.4 million
         in 2000. Approximately $2.3 million of the increase is attributable to
         the Same Centers and $0.5 million of the increase relates to the
         Redevelopment Centers.

         Other income increased to $5.1 million in 2001 from $4.0 million in
         2000.

         Expenses

         Shopping center expenses increased to $52.0 million in 2001 compared to
         $48.1 million in 2000. The increase is a result of increased property
         taxes and recoverable expenses at the Centers.

         Interest Expense

         Interest expense increased to $55.5 million in 2001 from $55.1 million
         in 2000.

         Depreciation and Amortization

         Depreciation and amortization increased to $32.5 million in 2001 from
         $29.6 million in 2000. The increase is primarily due to greater
         depreciation at Pacific View Mall.

         Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and Management Companies

         The income from unconsolidated joint ventures and the Management
         Companies was $12.7 million for 2001, compared to income of $13.1
         million in 2000. The decrease is primarily due to greater interest
         expense from the debt restructuring at SDG Macerich Properties, L.P.

         Extraordinary Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt

         In 2001, the Company wrote off $0.2 million of unamortized financing
         costs.

         Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle

         A loss of $1.0 million in 2000 is a result of implementation of SAB 101
         at January 1, 2000.

         Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

         As a result of the foregoing, net income available to common
         stockholders decreased to $13.2 million in 2001 from $13.9 million in
         2000.

   Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 - Continued:

         Operating Activities

         Cash flow from operations was $54.3 million in 2001 compared to $48.7
         million in 2000. The decrease is primarily due to the factors mentioned
         above.

         Investing Activities

         Cash used in investing activities was $31.1 million in 2001 compared to
         cash utilized by investing activities of $51.5 million in 2000. This
         decrease is primarily due to improvements and renovations to the
         Centers.

         Financing Activities

         Cash flow used in financing activities was $32.1 million in 2001
         compared to cash used in financing activities of $105.6 million in
         2000. The decrease was due to more refinancing activity in 2001 of
         wholly-owned assets.

         Funds From Operations

         Primarily because of the factors mentioned above, Funds from Operations
         - Diluted increased 1% to $76.8 million in 2001 from $76.1 million in

         is attributable to the Same Centers and $0.4 million of the increase
         relates to the Redevelopment Centers.

         Tenant recoveries increased to $27.4 million in 2001 from $24.9 million
         in 2000. Approximately $2.2 million of the increase is attributable to

         Centers.

         Other income increased to $2.6 million in 2001 from $2.0 million in
         2000.

         Expenses

         Shopping center expenses increased to $27.8 million in 2001 compared to
         $24.2 million in 2000. The increase is a result of increased property
         taxes and recoverable expenses at the Centers.

         Interest Expense

         Interest expense increased to $27.5 million in 2001 from $26.9 million

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company intends to meet its short term liquidity requirements

         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. The following table summarizes
         capital expenditures incurred at the Wholly-Owned Centers for the six

                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
     Operations, Continued:

         Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued:

         Management expects similar levels to be incurred in future years for
         tenant allowances and deferred charges and to incur between $30.0
         million to $75.0 million in 2001 for renovations and expansions.
         Capital for major expenditures or major redevelopments has been, and is
         expected to continue to be, obtained from equity or debt financings
         which include borrowings under the Company's line of credit and
         construction loans. However, many factors impact the Company's ability
         to access capital, such as its overall debt level, interest rates,
         interest coverage ratios and prevailing market conditions.

         The Company believes that it will have access to the capital necessary
         to expand its business in accordance with its strategies for growth and
         maximizing Funds from Operations. The Company presently intends to
         obtain additional capital necessary for these purposes through a
         combination of debt financings, joint ventures and the sale of non-core
         assets. During 1998 and 1999, the Company acquired two portfolios
         through joint ventures and raised additional capital in 1999 from the
         sale of interests in two properties to one joint venture partner. The
         Company believes such joint venture arrangements provide an attractive
         alternative to other forms of financing, whether for acquisitions or
         other business opportunities.

         The Company's total outstanding loan indebtedness at June 30, 2001 was
         $2.3 billion (including its pro rata share of joint venture debt). This
         equated to a debt to Total Market Capitalization (defined as total debt
         of the Company, including its pro rata share of joint venture debt,
         plus aggregate market value of outstanding shares of common stock,
         assuming full conversion of OP Units and preferred stock into common
         stock) ratio of approximately 63% at June 30, 2001. The Company's debt
         consists primarily of fixed-rate conventional mortgages payable secured
         by individual properties.

         The Company has filed a shelf registration statement, effective
         December 8, 1997, to sell securities. The shelf registration is for a
         total of $500 million of common stock, common stock warrants or common
         stock rights. During 1998, the Company sold a total of 7,920,181 shares
         of common stock under this shelf registration. The aggregate offering
         price of these transactions was approximately $212.9 million, leaving
         approximately $287.1 million available under the shelf registration
         statement.

         The Company has an unsecured line of credit for up to $175.0 million
         with a maturity of May 2002. There were $144.0 million of borrowings
         outstanding at June 30, 2001.

         At June 30, 2001, the Company had cash and cash equivalents available
         of $27.4 million.

                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
     Operations, Continued:

         Funds From Operations

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

         1)       Calculated based upon basic net income as adjusted to reach
                  basic FFO. Weighted average number of shares includes the
                  weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
                  for 2001 and 2000 assuming the conversion of all outstanding
                  OP units. As of June 30, 2001, 11.2 million of OP units were
                  outstanding.

         2)       The computation of FFO - diluted and diluted average number of
                  shares outstanding includes the effect of outstanding common
                  stock options and restricted stock using the treasury method.
                  The convertible debentures are dilutive for the six and three
                  months ending June 30, 2001 and 2000, and are included in the
                  FFO calculation to calculate FFO - diluted. On February 25,
                  1998, the Company sold $100 million of its Series A Preferred
                  Stock. On June 17, 1998, the Company sold $150 million of its
                  Series B Preferred Stock. The preferred stock can be converted
                  on a one for one basis for common stock. The preferred shares
                  are assumed converted for purposes of FFO diluted per share,
                  as they are dilutive to that calculation.

         Included in minimum rents were rents attributable to the accounting
         practice of straight-lining of rents. The amount of straight-lining of
         rents that impacted minimum rents was ($0.1) million and $0.6 million
         for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively; and
         ($0.2) million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
         2001 and 2000, respectively. The decline in straight-lining of rents
         from 2000 to 2001 is due to the Company structuring its new leases
         using rent increases tied to the change in the CPI rather than using
         contractually fixed rent increases. CPI increases do not generally
         require straight-lining of rent treatment.

                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
     Operations, Continued:


         Inflation

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

         Seasonality

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

         New Accounting Pronouncements Issued

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
         Accounting Bulletin 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements"
         ("SAB 101"), which became effective for periods beginning after
         December 15, 1999. This bulletin modified the timing of revenue
         recognition for percentage rent received from tenants. This change will
         defer recognition of a significant amount of percentage rent for the
         first three calendar quarters into the fourth quarter. The Company
         applied this accounting change as of January 1, 2000. The cumulative
         effect of this change in accounting principle at the adoption date of
         January 1, 2000, including the pro rata share of joint ventures, was
         approximately $1,750,000.

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
     Operations, Continued:


         New Accounting Pronouncements Issued, Continued:

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 133, "Accounting
         for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS 133") which
         requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet, measured
         at fair value. Changes in the fair values of those derivatives will be
         accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it
         qualifies for hedge accounting. The key criterion for hedge accounting
         is that the hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving
         offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows. In June 1999, the FASB
         issued SFAS 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
         Activities," which delays the implementation of SFAS 133 from January
         1, 2000 to January 1, 2001. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138,
         "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
         Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133," ("SFAS138"),
         which amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS 133. As a
         result of the adoption of SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001, the Company
         recorded a transition adjustment of $9.4 million to accumulated other
         comprehensive income related to treasury rate lock transactions settled
         in prior years. The entire transition adjustment was reflected in the
         quarter ended March 31, 2001. The transition adjustment of $9.4
         million, less minority interest of $2.3 million and amortization of
         $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, would be
         subtracted from net income to arrive at comprehensive income of $16.4
         million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Company expects
         that $1.3 million will be reclassified from accumulated other
         comprehensive income to earnings for the year ended December 31, 2001.
         During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Company reclassified $0.3
         million from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings.

                                     Item 3
           Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

         The following table sets forth information as of June 30, 2001
         concerning the Company's long term debt obligations, including
         principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest
         rates and estimated fair value ("FV").

         On May 2, 2001, the Company refinanced the $36.5 million fixed rate
         debt on Capitola Mall maturing in 2001. The prior loan was paid in full
         and a new note was issued for $48.5 million bearing interest at a fixed
         rate of 7.13% and maturing May 15, 2011. All debt maturing in 2001
         reflects the amortization of principal on existing debt.

         In addition, the Company has assessed the market risk for its variable
         rate debt and believes that a 1% increase in interest rates would
         decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $3.7 million
         per year based on $374.4 million outstanding at June 30, 2001.

         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.

EXHIBIT 10.1

                  OPTION/UNRESTRICTED SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT


         THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of the 11th day of May, 2001, is between THE
MACERICH COMPANY, a Maryland corporation (the "Company") and David J. Contis
(the "Executive").

         WHEREAS, on May 8, 1997, the Company granted to the Executive stock
options to purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares of the Company's common stock,
$.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), with a per share exercise price of $26.50
(the "Existing Options") pursuant to Option Agreements originally issued as of
such date (the "Existing Option Agreements");

         WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Existing Options are 100% vested
and exercisable;

         WHEREAS, the Committee under The Macerich Company Amended and Restated
1994 Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan") has approved, and the Company's
Board of Directors has ratified, the cancellation of the Existing Options in
exchange for the grant of unrestricted shares of Common Stock under the Plan, at
a ratio of 1 share for each Existing Option to purchase 10 shares of Common
Stock, for an aggregate 7,500 new shares (the "Shares"); and

         WHEREAS, the grant of the Shares, upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein, in exchange for the cancellation of the Existing Options is
conditioned upon the Executive's cancellation of the Existing Options and the
Executive's surrender of the Existing Option Agreements;

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the
parties agree as follows:

         1.       Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Plan.

         2. Option Surrender. In consideration of the Company's grant of the
Shares, the Executive agrees that the Existing Options are hereby cancelled and
the Executive shall concurrently herewith surrender the Existing Option
Agreements. The Executive will have no further rights under the Existing Option
Agreements or with respect to the Existing Options. The Executive's rights in
respect of the Shares will solely be governed by the terms of this Agreement and
the Plan.

         3. Grant of Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the
Plan, the Company grants to Executive an award of Shares as set forth above. The
Company acknowledges receipt of consideration for the Shares on the terms set
forth in this Agreement in the form of the cancellation of the Existing Options
with a value at least equal to the fair market value, as of the date hereof, of
the Shares, which amount is not less than the minimum lawful consideration under
Maryland law.
         4. Dividend Rights. If a certificate for the Shares is not issued to
the Executive prior to any dividend record date after the date hereof, Executive
shall be entitled to an amount in cash, on or as soon as practicable after the
dividend payment date, equal to the product of the per share dividend and 7,500,
without interest.

            OPTION/UNRESTRICTED SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT - Continued:


         5. Tax Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to require a cash
payment by or on behalf of the Executive and/or to deduct from other
compensation payable to the Executive any sums required by federal, state or
local tax law to be withheld with respect to the grant of the Shares and any
Dividend Right under Section 4. Alternatively, the Executive may elect in such
manner and at such time prior to the applicable tax date as may be permitted or
required under Section 6.5 of the Plan and rules established by the Committee,
to have the Company withhold certain of the Shares at their Fair Market Value to
satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company with respect to the grant of
the Shares.

         6. Plan. The grant of the Shares and all rights of the Executive with
respect thereto are subject to, and the Executive agrees to be bound by, all of
the terms and conditions of the Plan, incorporated herein by reference, to the
extent that such provisions are applicable to awards of unrestricted shares of
Common Stock. The Executive acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, which is
made a part hereof by this reference, and agrees to be bound by the terms
thereof.

         7. Compliance with Laws. The issuance of Shares under this Agreement
and their resale is subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state
laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to federal and state
securities laws) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or
governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be
necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Executive agrees, if requested
by the Company, to provide such assurances and representations to the Company as
the Committee may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all
legal requirements.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of
the date first written above.

EXHIBIT 10.2

                      OPTION/STOCK UNIT EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of the 11th day of May, 2001, is between THE
MACERICH COMPANY, a Maryland corporation (the "Company") and Larry E. Sidwell
(the "Executive").

         WHEREAS, on February 11, 1997, the Company granted to the Executive
stock options to purchase an aggregate of 60,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), with a per share exercise price of
$26.880 (the "Existing Options") pursuant to Option Agreements originally issued
as of such date (the "Existing Option Agreements");

         WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Existing Options are 100% vested
and exercisable;

         WHEREAS, the Committee under The Macerich Company Amended and Restated
1994 Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan") has approved, and the Company's
Board of Directors has ratified, the cancellation of the Existing Options in
exchange for the grant of Stock Units under the Plan, at a ratio of 1 Stock Unit
for each Existing Option to purchase 10 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate
6,000 Stock Units (the "Stock Units"); and

         WHEREAS, the grant of the Stock Units, upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein, in exchange for the cancellation of the Existing Options is
conditioned upon the Executive's cancellation of the Existing Options and the
Executive's surrender of the Existing Option Agreements.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the
parties agree as follows:

         1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Plan.

         2. Option Surrender. In consideration of the Company's grant of the
Stock Units, the Executive agrees that the Existing Options are hereby cancelled
and the Executive shall concurrently herewith surrender the Existing Option
Agreements. The Executive will have no further rights under the Existing Option
Agreements or with respect to the Existing Options. The Executive's rights in
respect of the Stock Units will solely be governed by the terms of this
Agreement and the Plan.

         3. Grant of Stock Units. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the
Plan, the Company grants to Executive an award of Stock Units as set forth
above. The Company acknowledges receipt of consideration for the Stock Units on
the terms set forth in this Agreement in the form of the cancellation of the
Existing Options with a value at least equal to the fair market value, as of the
date hereof, of the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Stock
Units, which amount is not less than the minimum lawful consideration under
Maryland law.

         4.  Vesting of Stock Units. The Stock Units shall be fully vested and
non-forfeitable at all times.

                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)

EXHIBIT 10.2 - Continued:


         5.       Dividend and Voting Rights.

                  (a) Limitations on Rights Associated with Stock Units. The
Executive shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend
rights (except as expressly provided in Section 5(b) with respect to Dividend
Equivalent Rights) and no voting rights, with respect to the Stock Units and any
shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of such Stock Units
until such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by
the Executive. Except as provided in Section 5(b), no adjustments will be made
for dividends or other rights of a holder for which the record date is prior to
the issuance of the stock certificate.

                  (b) Dividend Equivalent Rights Distributions. As of any
applicable dividend or distribution payment date, the Executive shall receive a
payment in the same consideration as paid to stockholders in an amount equal to
the amount of the Dividend Equivalent Rights multiplied by the number of Stock
Units in the Executive's Stock Unit Account as of the applicable dividend
payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stock Units are not credited
to the Executive's Stock Unit Account prior to any dividend payment date after
the date hereof, Executive shall be entitled to an amount in cash, on or as soon
as practicable after the dividend payment date, equal to the product of the per
share dividend and 6,000, without interest.

         6.       Distributions with Respect to Stock Units

                  (a) Timing and Manner of Distributions. The Stock Units
         credited to the Executive's Stock Unit Account will be distributed in
         shares of Common Stock in three equal installments of 33 1/3% on each
         of the first three anniversaries of the date of this Agreement or, if
         his employment earlier terminates, within 30 days after such
         termination of employment or if there is a Change in Control Event,
         immediately prior thereto. Fractional share interests may be
         accumulated but shall not be issued. The Executive shall be entitled to
         an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional share interests that remain
         upon the final distribution under this Agreement.

                  (b) Change in Timing of Distributions. Notwithstanding Section
         6(a) above, the Executive may elect to change the time of distribution
         for either of the installment of Stock Unit distributions due on the
         second or third anniversaries of the date of this Agreement by filing a
         written change of distribution election form with the Committee on a
         form approved by the Committee; provided, however, that (1) no such
         election shall be effective until 12 months after such election is
         filed with the Committee and (2) no more than three such new elections
         shall be valid.

                  (c) Early Distributions. Executive shall be permitted to elect
         to withdraw not less than 50% of the Stock Units credited to his Stock
         Unit Account, reduced by the withdrawal penalty described below, prior
         to the applicable distribution dates ("Early Distributions"), subject
         to the following restrictions:

                           (1) The election to take an Early Distribution shall
                   be made in writing on a form provided by and
                  filed with the Committee;

                                     - 37 -


                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)

EXHIBIT 10.2 - Continued:

                           (2) The amount of the Early Distribution shall equal
                  90% of the number of Stock Units that the Executive has
                  elected to withdraw; provided that if such percentage results
                  in fractional shares, the number of shares subject to the
                  distribution shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number
                  and any fractional share interests shall be paid in cash based
                  on the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the
                  date that Early Distribution is paid; and

                           (3) The remaining 10% of the Stock Units that the
                  Executive has elected to withdraw shall be permanently
                  forfeited, and the Executive shall have no rights with respect
                  to such forfeited Stock Units.

                  (d)      Distribution for Unforeseeable Emergencies.

                           (1) The Executive may request a distribution for an
                  Unforeseeable Emergency without penalty of an amount not
                  greater than the number of Stock Units credited to his
                  Account. Such distribution for an Unforeseeable Emergency
                  shall be subject to approval by the Committee in its sole
                  discretion and may be made only to the extent necessary to
                  satisfy the hardship. The Committee may treat a distribution
                  as necessary for an Unforeseeable Emergency if it relies on
                  the Executive's written representation, without actual
                  knowledge to the contrary, that the hardship cannot reasonably
                  be relieved (1) through timely reimbursement or compensation
                  by insurance or otherwise or (2) by liquidation of the
                  Executive's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such
                  assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship.

                           (2) For the purposes of this Section 6(d), an
                  "Unforeseeable Emergency" shall mean a severe financial
                  hardship to the Executive resulting from a sudden and
                  unexpected illness or accident of the Executive or a dependent
                  of the Executive, loss to the Executive's property due to
                  casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable
                  circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the
                  Executive's control. The circumstances that will constitute an
                  Unforeseeable Emergency will depend upon the facts of each
                  case. Examples of what are not considered to be Unforeseeable
                  Emergencies include the need to send the Executive's child to
                  college or the desire to purchase a home, absent destruction
                  or severe damage to the Executive's existing home.

         7. Adjustments Upon Specified Events. Upon the occurrence of certain
events relating to the Company's stock contemplated by Section 6.2 of the Plan,
the Committee shall make adjustments as it deems appropriate in the number and
kind of securities or other consideration that may become payable with respect
to the Stock Units. If any adjustment shall be made under Section 6.2 of the
Plan, the Stock Units may be payable in the securities or other consideration
payable in respect of the Stock Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the
extent that such consideration includes any cash, the commitment hereunder shall
become an unsecured promise to pay an amount equal to such cash (with earnings
attributable thereto as if such amount had been invested, pursuant to policies
established by the Committee, in an interest bearing, FDIC insured (subject to
applicable insurance limits) deposits of a depository institution selected by
the Committee) in accordance with the distribution dates of the Stock Units.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stock Units shall continue to be subject to
such proportionate and equitable adjustments (if any) under Section 6.2 of the
Plan as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate, in the number,
kind and/or character of shares of Common Stock or other securities, property
and/or other rights payable in respect of the Stock Units and Stock Unit Account
credited under the Plan. All rights of the Executive are subject to those
adjustments.

                       THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company)

EXHIBIT 10.2 - Continued:

         8. Tax Withholding. Upon payment of Dividend Equivalent Rights and/or
the distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Executive's Stock
Unit Account, the Company shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on
behalf of the Executive and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the
Executive any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld
with respect to such payment or distribution. Alternatively, with respect to the
distribution of shares, the Executive may elect subject to approval by the
Committee and in such manner and at such time prior to the applicable tax date
as may be permitted or required under Section 6.5 of the Plan and rules
established by the Committee, to have the Company reduce the number of shares to
be delivered by the appropriate number of shares valued at their then Fair
Market Value to satisfy such withholding obligation.

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

         10. Limitation on Executive's Rights. This Agreement creates only a
contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and
shall not be construed as creating a trust. The Plan, in and of itself, does not
have any assets. The Executive shall have only the rights of a general unsecured
creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and Dividend Equivalent
Rights and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock (or
equivalent value) as a general unsecured creditor with respect to the Stock
Units, as and when payable thereunder.


         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of
the date first written above.

         vesting of any outstanding Award, the principal of the note shall not
         exceed the amount required to be paid to the Corporation upon the
         exercise or receipt of one or more Awards under this plan and the note

         "(c) The note shall provide for full recourse to the Participant and
         shall bear interest at a rate determined by the Committee but not less
         than the interest rate necessary to avoid the imputation of interest
         under the Code; provided however, that the Committee, in limited
         circumstances relating to a change in control of the Company, may
         provide for the note to be non-recourse to the Participant on such

         shall become due and payable on the 10th business day after the first
         day on which a sale of such shares could have been made without
         incurring such liability, assuming for these purposes that there are no
         other transactions (or deemed transactions) in securities of this

         awarded shall be determined by the Committee; provided however, in no
         case may any such awards of shares be granted to the extent that it
         will cause an Eligible Person to Beneficially or Constructively Own
         Equity Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit."
