by Section&nbsp;55-2-02(b)(3) of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act (the &#147;<U>NC BCA</U>&#148;) eliminating the personal liability of a director arising out of an action whether by or in the right of the corporation or otherwise for
monetary damages for breach of any duty of a director, except for liability with respect to (i)&nbsp;acts or omissions that the director at the time of such breach knew or believed were clearly in conflict with the best interests of the corporation,
(ii)&nbsp;any transaction from which the director derived an &#147;improper personal benefit&#148; as that term is defined in the NC BCA, (iii)&nbsp;acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective date of the Articles or (iv)&nbsp;acts or
omissions with respect to which the NC BCA does not permit the limitation of liability. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has also adopted indemnification
provisions authorized by NC BCA Section&nbsp;55-8-57 which obligate the corporation: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(1) to indemnify any person who serves or has served
as a director or officer against (i)&nbsp;any liability for or obligation to pay reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, incurred by such officer or director in connection with any proceeding arising out of such director&#146;s or
officer&#146;s status as such or any activities of such director or officer in such capacity and (ii)&nbsp;any liability for or obligation to pay any judgment, settlement, penalty or fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee
benefit plan) in any such proceeding; and </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(2) to indemnify any person who serves or has served as a director or officer and who, at the
request of the corporation, serves or has served as a director, officer, partner, trustee employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as a trustee or administrator under an employee benefit plan
against (i)&nbsp;any liability for or obligation to pay reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, incurred by such officer or director in connection with any proceeding arising out of such person&#146;s status as a director or officer of
the corporation or as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as a trustee or administrator under an employee benefit plan or any activities of such
director or officer in any of such capacities and (ii)&nbsp;any liability for or obligation to pay any judgment, settlement, penalty or fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to any employee benefit plan) in any such proceeding. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Provided however, such indemnification does not extend to any liability or expense the director or officer may incur on account of his or her
activities which, at the time taken, were known or believed by such director or officer to be clearly in conflict with the best interests of the corporation </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to Section&nbsp;55-8-51 of NC BCA, a North Carolina corporation may indemnify a director against liability in any proceeding to which
the director is made a party because of his status as such if the director (i)&nbsp;conducted himself in good faith, (ii)&nbsp;reasonably believed that his conduct in his official capacity was in the corporation&#146;s best interests and, in all
other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests and (iii)&nbsp;in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to Section&nbsp;55-8-52 of the NC BCA, a North Carolina corporation is required to indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on
the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding. </P>

to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company 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.

have acted as counsel to Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership, a North Carolina limited partnership (the &#147;Operating Partnership&#148;) in
connection with the preparation of the Company&#146;s above-referenced registration statement on Form S-8 (the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;1933 Act&#148;), filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;Commission&#148;). The Registration Statement relates to 3,400,000 shares of the Company&#146;s common shares, $0.01 par value (the &#147;Shares&#148;), which are proposed to be offered and sold pursuant
to the Incentive Award Plan of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership (Amended and Restated Effective April&nbsp;4, 2014) (the &#147;Plan&#148;). This opinion is provided pursuant to the requirements of
Item&nbsp;8(a) of Form S-8 and Item&nbsp;601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As the Company&#146;s counsel, we have examined originals or

date, and minutes and records of the corporate proceedings of the Company relating to the filing of the Registration Statement and the issuance of the Shares, as provided to us by the Company, certificates of public officials and of representatives

(b)&nbsp;the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies; and (c)&nbsp;the proper issuance and accuracy of certificates of
public officials and representatives of the Company. In rendering opinions as to future events, we have assumed the facts and law existing on the date hereof. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on and subject to the foregoing, and having regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, it is our opinion that the Shares
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and, upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor in the manner contemplated by the Plan and the Registration Statement (including exchange in accordance with
the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership), the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. </P>
