&#147;shelf&#148; registration process. By using a shelf registration statement, we or any selling securityholders may sell any combination of our common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, warrants, rights, stock purchase
contracts or units from time to time and in one or more offerings. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the securities being offered (if other than common stock) and
the specific terms of that offering. The supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, you should rely on
the prospectus supplement. Before purchasing any securities, you should carefully read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, together with the additional information described under the headings &#147;Where You Can Find More

its respective cover, and that any information incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference, unless we indicate otherwise. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

to be owned by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 5% in value or in number of shares of stock (or the acquisition of an interest in an entity which owns stock) by an individual or entity could cause that individual
or entity (or another individual or entity) to be deemed to own in excess of 5% in value or in number of shares of our outstanding capital stock, and thus subject that stock to the ownership limit. Our board of directors, in its sole discretion
(subject to certain limitations), may waive the ownership limit with respect to our stockholders, but is under no obligation to do so. As a condition of a waiver of the ownership limit, our board of directors may require opinions of counsel
satisfactory to it or other conditions as it may direct, including an agreement from the applicant that the applicant will not act to threaten our REIT status. Our charter excludes from the ownership limit some persons and their respective families

Prior to issuance of shares of each class or series, our board of directors is required by the Maryland General Corporation Law to adopt resolutions and file Articles Supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland,
fixing for each class or series the designations, powers, preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, qualifications, limitations as to dividends, restrictions and terms and conditions of redemption. Our board of directors could
authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control or other transaction in which holders of some, or a majority, of shares of our common
stock might receive a premium for their shares over the then prevailing market price of those shares or which such holders might believe to be otherwise in their best interests. The preferred stock will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable
and will not have, or be subject to, any preemptive or similar rights. The terms of any preferred stock we offer under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below. </P>

together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of depositary shares that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will
generally apply to any depositary shares we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any depositary shares that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any depositary shares
we offer under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue receipts for depositary shares, each of

under a separate deposit agreement among us, the depositary named in the deposit agreement, and the holders of the depositary receipts. Immediately following our issuance and delivery of the preferred stock to the depositary, we will cause the
depositary to issue, on our behalf, the depositary receipts. Subject to the terms of the applicable depositary agreement, each owner of a depositary receipt will be entitled, in proportion to the fractional interest of a share of a particular series
of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares evidenced by the depositary receipts, to all the rights and preferences of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares, including dividend, voting, conversion, redemption and
liquidation rights, in each case as designated by our board of directors and described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The

shares representing the preferred stock so redeemed, provided we have paid in full to the depositary the redemption price of the preferred stock to be redeemed plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for
redemption. With respect to noncumulative preferred stock, dividends will be paid for the current dividend period only. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the redemption price and any other amounts per share payable with
respect to the preferred stock. If less than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected pro rata or by any other equitable method determined by us. </P>

the holders of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares called for redemption will cease. However, the holders will have the right to receive any moneys payable upon redemption and any money or other property that the holders of such
depositary receipts were entitled to at the time of redemption when they surrender their depositary receipts to the depositary. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Voting Rights </B></P>

voting rights of the preferred stock related to such holder&#146;s depositary receipts. The record date for depositary receipts will be the same date as the record date for preferred stock. The depositary will vote the preferred stock related to
such depositary receipts in accordance with such instructions, and we will agree to take all reasonable action that the depositary deems necessary to enable it to vote the preferred stock. The depositary will abstain from voting the preferred stock
represented by such depositary shares to the extent it does not receive specific instructions from the holders of depositary receipts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Liquidation

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Certain Risk Considerations </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any warrants we issue will involve a degree of risk, including risks arising from fluctuations in the price of the underlying shares of common
stock, shares of preferred stock or debt securities and general risks applicable to the securities market (or markets) on which the underlying securities trade, as applicable. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prospective purchasers of the warrants will need to recognize that the warrants may expire worthless and, thus, purchasers should be prepared
to sustain a total loss of the purchase price of their warrants. This risk reflects the nature of a warrant as an asset which, other factors held constant, tends to decline in value over time and which may, depending on the price of the underlying
securities, become worthless when it expires. The trading price of a warrant at any time is expected to increase if the price of or, if applicable, dividend rate on, the underlying securities increases. Conversely, the trading price of a warrant is
expected to decrease as the time remaining to expiration of the warrant decreases and as the price of or, if applicable, dividend rate on, the underlying securities, decreases. Assuming all other factors are held constant, the more a warrant is <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;out-of-the-money&#148;</FONT></FONT></FONT> (i.e.,&nbsp;the more the exercise price exceeds the price of the underlying securities) and the shorter
its remaining term to expiration, the greater the risk that a purchaser of the warrant will lose all or part of his or her investment. If the price of the underlying securities does not rise before the warrant expires to an extent sufficient to
cover a purchaser&#146;s cost of the warrant, the purchaser will lose all or part of his or her investment in the warrant upon expiration. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, prospective purchasers of the warrants should be experienced with respect to options and option transactions, should understand
the risks associated with options and should reach an investment decision only after careful consideration, with their financial advisers, of the suitability of the warrants in light of their particular financial circumstances and the information
discussed in this prospectus and, if applicable, the prospectus supplement. Before purchasing, exercising or selling any warrants, prospective purchasers and holders of warrants should carefully consider, among other things: </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchasers of the warrants should further consider that the initial offering price of the warrants may be in excess of the price that a
purchaser of options might pay for a comparable option in a private, less liquid transaction. In addition, it is not possible to predict the price at which the warrants will trade in the secondary market or whether any such market will be liquid. We
may, but will not be obligated to, file an application to list any warrants on a U.S. national securities exchange. To the extent that any warrants are exercised, the number of warrants outstanding will decrease, which may result in a lessening of
the liquidity of the warrants. Finally, the warrants will constitute our direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations, and as such will be subject to any changes in our perceived creditworthiness. </P>

specified number of shares of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares at a future date or dates. Alternatively, the stock purchase contracts may obligate us to purchase from holders, and obligate holders to sell to us, a specified or
varying number of shares of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares. The consideration per share of common stock or preferred stock or per depositary share may be fixed at the time the stock purchase contracts are issued or may be

case may be, the common stock, preferred stock, depository shares or other security or property under the stock purchase contracts. The stock purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the stock purchase units or
vice versa, and such payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis and may be paid on a current or on a deferred basis. The stock purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations thereunder in a specified manner and may
provide for the prepayment of all or part of the consideration payable by holders in connection with the purchase of the underlying security or other property pursuant to the stock purchase contracts. </P>

secure the obligations of holders of stock purchase contracts to purchase the underlying security or property under the related stock purchase contracts. The rights of holders of stock purchase contracts to the related pledged securities will be
subject to our security interest therein created by the pledge agreement. No holder of stock purchase contracts will be permitted to withdraw the pledged securities related to such stock purchase contracts from the pledge arrangement except upon the
termination or early settlement of the related stock purchase contracts or in the event other securities, cash or property is made subject to the pledge agreement in lieu of the pledged securities, if permitted by the pledge agreement, or as
otherwise provided in the pledge agreement. Subject to such security interest and the terms of the stock purchase contract agreement and the pledge agreement, each holder of a stock purchase contract will retain full beneficial ownership of the
related pledged securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the collateral agent will, upon receipt of

past, present and future conduct of our business operations, and assumes that such representations and covenants are accurate and complete and that we will take no action inconsistent with our status as a REIT. While we believe that we are organized
and have operated and intend to continue to operate so that we will qualify as a REIT, given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual determinations, and the possibility of future changes in our
circumstances, no assurance can be given by Goodwin Procter LLP or us that we have so qualified or will so qualify for any particular year. Goodwin Procter LLP will have no obligation to advise us or the holders of our common stock of any subsequent
change in the matters stated, represented or assumed, or of any subsequent change in the applicable law. You should be aware that opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the
conclusions set forth in such opinions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Qualification and taxation as a REIT depends on our ability to meet, on a continuing basis,
through actual operating results, distribution levels, and diversity of stock ownership, various qualification requirements imposed upon REITs by the Code, the compliance with which will not be reviewed by Goodwin Procter LLP. Our ability to qualify
as a REIT also requires that we satisfy certain asset tests, some of which depend upon the fair market values of assets directly or indirectly owned by us. Such values may not be susceptible to a precise determination. Accordingly, no assurance can
be given that the actual results of our operations for any taxable year will satisfy such requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. </P>

items of income, deduction, and credit of the qualified REIT subsidiary will be treated as assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of the REIT itself. A qualified REIT subsidiary of ours will not be subject to federal corporate

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A &#147;taxable REIT subsidiary&#148; of ours is a corporation in which we directly or indirectly own stock and that jointly elects with us to

that subsidiary will also be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary of ours. A taxable REIT subsidiary is a corporation subject to United States federal income tax, and state and local income tax where applicable, as a regular &#147;C&#148;

impermissible tenant services income under the REIT income tests. However, several provisions regarding the arrangements between a REIT and its taxable REIT subsidiaries ensure that a taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to an appropriate level
of United States federal income taxation. For example, a taxable REIT subsidiary is limited in its ability to deduct interest payments in excess of a certain amount made to us. In addition, we will be obligated to pay a 100% penalty tax on some
payments that we receive or on certain expenses deducted by the taxable REIT subsidiary if the economic arrangements among us, our tenants, and/or the taxable REIT subsidiary are not comparable to similar arrangements among unrelated parties. A
taxable REIT subsidiary may also engage in other activities that, if conducted by us other than through a taxable REIT subsidiary, could result in the receipt of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-qualified</FONT> income or the ownership of <FONT

Thus, The Macerich Company&#146;s proportionate share of the assets and items of income of the Operating Partnership, including the Operating Partnership&#146;s share of the assets and liabilities and items of income with respect to any partnership

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy two gross income tests. First, at least 75% of our gross income, excluding gross income from prohibited
transactions, for each taxable year must be derived directly or indirectly from investments relating to real property or mortgages on real property, including &#147;rents from real property,&#148; gains on the disposition of real estate assets other
than certain debt instruments of publicly offered REITs, dividends paid by another REIT, and interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property, or from some types of temporary investments. Second, at
least 95% of our gross income for each taxable year, excluding gross income from prohibited transactions must be derived from any combination of income qualifying under the 75% test and dividends, interest and gain from the sale or disposition of
stock or securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Income and gain from certain hedging transactions will not constitute gross income for purposes of both the 75% and
95% gross income tests. See &#147;&#151;Hedging Transactions.&#148; In addition, certain foreign currency gains will be excluded from gross income for purposes of one or both of the gross income tests. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rents we receive will qualify as rents from real property in satisfying the gross income requirements for a REIT described above only if
several conditions are met. First, the amount of rent must not be based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. However, an amount received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term &#147;rents from real
property&#148; solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales. Second, rents received from a &#147;related party tenant&#148; will not qualify as rents from real property in satisfying the gross income
tests unless the tenant is a taxable REIT subsidiary and either (i)&nbsp;at least 90% of the property is leased to unrelated tenants and the rent paid by the taxable REIT subsidiary is substantially comparable to the rent paid by the unrelated
tenants for comparable space, or (ii)&nbsp;the property leased is a &#147;qualified lodging facility,&#148; as defined in Section&nbsp;856(d)(9)(D) of the Code, or a &#147;qualified health care property,&#148; as defined in
Section&nbsp;856(e)(6)(D)(i), and certain other conditions are satisfied. A tenant is a related party tenant if the REIT, or an actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the REIT, actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the tenant.
Third, if rent attributable to personal property, leased in connection with a lease of real property, is greater than 15% of the total rent received under the lease, then the portion of rent attributable to the personal property will not qualify as
rents from real property. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Generally, for rents to qualify as rents from real property for the purpose of satisfying the gross income
tests, we may provide directly only an insignificant amount of services, unless those services are &#147;usually or customarily rendered&#148; in connection with the rental of real property and not otherwise considered &#147;rendered to the
occupant.&#148; Accordingly, we may not provide &#147;impermissible services&#148; to tenants (except through an independent contractor from whom we derive no revenue and that meets other requirements or through a taxable REIT subsidiary) without
giving rise to &#147;impermissible tenant service income.&#148; Impermissible tenant service income is deemed to be at least 150% of the direct cost to us of providing the service. If the impermissible tenant service income exceeds 1% of our total
income from a property, then all of the income from that property will fail to qualify as rents from real property. If the total amount of impermissible tenant service income from a property does not exceed 1% of our total income from the property,
the services will not disqualify any other income from the property that qualifies as rents from real property, but the impermissible tenant service income will not qualify as rents from real property. </P>

75% or 95% gross income tests for any taxable year, we may nevertheless qualify as a REIT for that year if we are entitled to relief under the Code. These relief provisions generally will be available if our failure to meet the tests is due to
reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, we attached a schedule of the sources of our income to our federal income tax return, and any incorrect information on the schedule is not due to fraud with intent to evade tax. It is not possible,
however, to state whether in all circumstances we would be entitled to the benefit of these relief provisions. For example, if we fail to satisfy the gross income tests because nonqualifying income that we intentionally incur unexpectedly exceeds
the limits on nonqualifying income, the IRS could conclude that the failure to satisfy the tests was not due to reasonable cause. If these relief provisions are inapplicable to a particular set of circumstances involving us, we will fail to qualify
as a REIT. As discussed under &#147;&#151;Classification and Taxation of The Macerich Company as a REIT,&#148; even if these relief provisions apply, a tax would be imposed based on the amount of nonqualifying income. </P>

entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes holds our stock, the federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Dividends</I>. As long as we qualify as a REIT, a taxable U.S. stockholder must generally take into account as ordinary income
distributions made out of current or accumulated earnings and profits that we do not designate as capital gain dividends. Distributions on our preferred stock will be treated as made out of any available earnings and profits in priority to
distributions on our common stock. Dividends paid to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. stockholder generally will not qualify for the preferential tax rate for &#147;qualified dividend income&#148;. Qualified dividend
income generally includes dividends paid to most United States <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> taxpayers by domestic C corporations and certain qualified foreign corporations. Because we are not generally subject to United
States federal income tax on the portion of our REIT taxable income distributed to our stockholders, our dividends generally will not be eligible for the preferential rate on qualified dividend income. As a result, our ordinary REIT dividends will
continue to be taxed at the higher tax rate applicable to ordinary income. However, the preferential tax rate for qualified dividend income will apply to our ordinary REIT dividends (1)&nbsp;attributable to dividends received by us from taxable
corporations, such as our taxable REIT subsidiaries, and (2)&nbsp;to the extent attributable to income upon which we have paid corporate income tax (e.g., to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our taxable income). In general, to qualify
for the reduced tax rate on qualified dividend income, a stockholder must hold our stock for more than 60 days during the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">121-day</FONT> period beginning on the date that is 60 days before the date on which our stock
becomes <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ex-dividend.</FONT> Dividends paid to a corporate U.S. stockholder will not qualify for the dividends received deduction generally available to corporations. If we declare a distribution in October, November,
or December of any year that is payable to a U.S. stockholder of record on a specified date in any such month, such distribution will be treated as both paid by us and received by the U.S. stockholder on December&nbsp;31 of such year, provided that
we actually pay the distribution during January of the following calendar year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Distributions from us that are designated as capital gain
dividends will be taxed to U.S. stockholders as long-term capital gains, to the extent that they do not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year, without regard to the period for which the U.S. stockholder has held its stock.
Corporate U.S. stockholders may be required to treat up to 20% of some capital gain dividends as ordinary income. Capital gains dividends attributable to the sale of depreciable real property held for more than 12 months are generally subject to a
25% U.S. federal income tax rate for U.S. stockholders who are individuals, to the extent of previously claimed depreciation deductions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may elect to retain and pay income tax on the net long-term capital gain that we receive in a taxable year. In that case, we may elect to
designate the retained amount as a capital gain dividend with the result that a U.S. stockholder would be taxed on its proportionate share of our undistributed long-term capital gain. The U.S. stockholder would receive a credit or refund for its
proportionate share of the tax we paid. The U.S. stockholder would increase the basis in its common stock by the amount of its proportionate share of our undistributed long-term capital gain, minus its share of the tax we paid. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A U.S. stockholder will not incur tax on a distribution in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits if the excess portion of
the distribution does not exceed the adjusted basis of the U.S. stockholder&#146;s stock. Instead, the distribution will reduce the adjusted basis of such stock. A U.S. stockholder will recognize gain upon a distribution in excess of both our
current and accumulated earnings and profits and the U.S. stockholder&#146;s adjusted basis in his or her stock as long-term capital gain, or short-term capital gain, if the shares of stock have been held for one year or less. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Stockholders may not include in their individual income tax returns any of our net operating
losses or capital losses. Instead, these losses are generally carried over by us for potential offset against our future income. Taxable distributions from us and gain from the disposition of our common stock will not be treated as passive activity
income and, therefore, stockholders generally will not be able to apply any &#147;passive activity losses,&#148; such as losses from certain types of limited partnerships in which the stockholder is a limited partner, against such income. In
addition, taxable distributions from us and gain from the disposition of our common stock generally will be treated as investment income for purposes of the investment interest limitations. We will notify stockholders after the close of our taxable
year as to the portions of the distributions attributable to that year that constitute ordinary income, return of capital, and capital gain. Ordinary income and capital gain must be allocated proportionately among taxable dividends on both our
preferred stock and common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Dispositions of Stock</I>. In general, a U.S. stockholder who is not a dealer in securities must
treat any gain or loss realized upon a taxable disposition of our stock as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. stockholder has held our stock for more than one year. Otherwise, the U.S. stockholder must treat any such gain or loss as
short-term capital gain or loss. However, a U.S. stockholder must treat any loss upon a sale or exchange of our stock held by such stockholder for six months or less as a long-term capital loss to the extent of capital gain dividends and any other
actual or deemed distributions from us that such U.S. stockholder treats as long-term capital gain. All or a portion of any loss that a U.S. stockholder realizes upon a taxable disposition of our common stock or preferred stock may be disallowed if
the U.S. stockholder repurchases our common stock or preferred stock within 30 days before or after the disposition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A redemption by us
of any redeemable preferred stock we may issue could be treated either as a taxable disposition of shares or as a dividend, depending on the applicable facts and circumstances. In the event we issue any redeemable preferred stock, the Prospectus
Supplement will discuss the tax consequences of owning such securities in greater detail. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Capital Gains and Losses</I>. The tax rate
differential between capital gain and ordinary income for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> taxpayers may be significant. A taxpayer generally must hold a capital asset for more than one year for gain or loss derived from its
sale or exchange to be treated as long-term capital gain or loss. The highest marginal individual income tax rate is currently 39.6%. The maximum tax rate on long-term capital gains applicable to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT>
taxpayers is 20% for sales and exchanges of capital assets held for more than one year. The maximum tax rate on long-term capital gain from the sale or exchange of &#147;section 1250 property,&#148; or depreciable real property, is generally 25% to
the extent of previously claimed depreciation deductions (&#147;Unrecaptured Section&nbsp;1250 Gains&#148;). With respect to distributions that we designate as capital gain dividends and any retained capital gain that we are deemed to distribute, we
generally may designate whether such a distribution is taxable to our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> stockholders as long term capital gains or Unrecaptured Section&nbsp;1250 Gains. In addition, the characterization of income
as capital gain or ordinary income may affect the deductibility of capital losses. A <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> taxpayer may deduct capital losses not offset by capital gains against its ordinary income only up to a
maximum annual amount of $3,000. A <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> taxpayer may carry forward unused capital losses indefinitely. A corporate taxpayer must pay tax on its net capital gain at ordinary corporate rates (currently
up to 35%). A corporate taxpayer can deduct capital losses only to the extent of capital gains, with unused losses being carried back three years and forward five years. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a U.S. stockholder recognizes a loss upon a subsequent disposition of our common stock in an amount that exceeds a prescribed threshold, it
is possible that the provisions of certain Treasury Regulations involving &#147;reportable transactions&#148; could apply, with a resulting requirement to separately disclose the loss generating transactions to the IRS. While these regulations are
directed towards &#147;tax shelters,&#148; they are written quite broadly, and apply to transactions that would not typically be considered tax shelters. Significant penalties apply for failure to comply with these requirements. You should consult
your tax advisors concerning any possible disclosure obligation with respect to the receipt or disposition of our common stock, or transactions that might be undertaken directly or indirectly by us. Moreover, you should be aware that we and other
participants in transactions involving us (including our advisors) might be subject to disclosure or other requirements pursuant to these regulations. </P>

individual retirement accounts, generally are exempt from federal income taxation. However, they are subject to taxation on their unrelated business taxable income. While many investments in real estate generate unrelated business taxable income,
the IRS has issued a ruling that dividend distributions from a REIT to an exempt employee pension trust do not constitute unrelated business taxable income so long as the exempt employee pension trust does not otherwise use the stock of the REIT in
an unrelated trade or business of the pension trust. Based on that ruling, amounts that we distribute to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> stockholders generally should not constitute unrelated business taxable income. However, if a

to the &#147;debt-financed property&#148; rules. Furthermore, social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts, and qualified group legal services plans that are exempt from taxation under special
provisions of the federal income tax laws are subject to different unrelated business taxable income rules, which generally will require them to characterize distributions that they receive from us as unrelated business taxable income. Finally, in
certain circumstances, a qualified employee pension or profit sharing trust that owns more than 10% of our stock must treat a percentage of the dividends that it receives from us as unrelated business taxable income. Such percentage is equal to the

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may grant underwriters who participate in the distribution of our securities an option to purchase additional securities in connection with

by the underwriters, dealers or agents may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions. The prospectus supplement for any securities offered by us will identify any such underwriter, dealer or agent and describe any compensation received by
them from us. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-allowed</FONT> or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. </P>

services for us for which they receive compensation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Stabilization Activities. </I>In connection with an offering through
underwriters, an underwriter may, to the extent permitted by applicable rules and regulations, purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions, to the extent permitted by applicable rules and regulations, may include short sales,
purchases to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in the offering, which creates a short position.
&#147;Covered&#148; short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters&#146; option to purchase additional securities from us in the offering, if any. In determining the source of shares to close out the underwriters&#146;
covered short position, the underwriters may consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase securities through the over-allotment option.
Transactions to close out the underwriters&#146; covered short position involve either purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed or the exercise of the underwriters&#146; over-allotment option.
&#147;Naked&#148; short sales, which may be prohibited or restricted by applicable rules and regulations, are any sales in excess of the over-allotment option or where the underwriters do not have an over-allotment option. The underwriters must
close out any naked short position by purchasing securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open
market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of shares in the open market while the offering is in progress for the purpose of pegging, fixing or
maintaining the price of the securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with any offering, the underwriters may also engage in penalty bids. Penalty bids
permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a member of the underwriting syndicate when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.
Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue
them at any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Direct Sales. </I>We may also sell securities directly to one or more purchasers without using underwriters or
agents. In this case, no agents, underwriters or dealers would be involved. We may sell securities upon the exercise of rights that we may issue to our securityholders. We may also sell securities directly to institutional investors or others who
may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. </P>

rights are <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-exclusive</FONT> of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled. The Maryland General Corporation Law 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 a
party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (1)&nbsp;the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (a)&nbsp;was committed in bad faith, or
(b)&nbsp;was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (2)&nbsp;the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (3)&nbsp;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 Maryland General Corporation Law requires us, 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 us and (2)&nbsp;a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by us if it is ultimately
determined that the standard of conduct was not met. The Maryland General Corporation Law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our 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 a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. However, under the Maryland General Corporation Law, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify 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. Our 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 Operating Partnership also provides for
indemnification of us and our officers and directors similar to that provided to our officers and directors in the charter and bylaws, and includes limitations on the liability of our company and our officers and directors to the 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">We and the Operating Partnership have entered into indemnification
agreements with our directors and certain of our executive officers. The indemnification agreements require, among other things, that we 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. We 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 our director&#146;s and officer&#146;s liability insurance. Although the indemnification agreements offer substantially the same scope of coverage afforded by provisions in our
charter and our 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 our board of directors,
by the stockholders or by the partners of the Operating Partnership to eliminate the rights it provides. </P>

any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>

binding on the IRS except with respect to a taxpayer that receives such a ruling), all as in effect as of the date of this opinion letter or, to the extent different and relevant for a prior taxable year or other period, as in effect for the

investigated or verified the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to operate in compliance with the REIT Certificate or our assumptions. Differences between the actual ownership and operations of such entities and the prior, proposed and
intended ownership and operations described in the REIT Certificate or our assumptions could result in U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Company that differs materially and adversely from the treatment described herein. The Company&#146;s
actual qualification as a REIT depends on the Company meeting and having met, in its actual ownership and operations, the applicable asset composition, source of income, shareholder diversification, distribution and other requirements of the Code
necessary for a corporation to qualify as a REIT. We will not monitor actual results or verify the Company&#146;s compliance with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT, and no assurance can be given that the actual ownership and
