RECITALS
A.    The Grantee is a key employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or affiliates and provides services to the Partnership.
B.    Pursuant to its Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) the Company can award units of limited partnership interest of the Partnership designated as “LTIP Units” in the Partnership Agreement (as defined herein) under The Macerich Company 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2003 Plan”), to provide certain key employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries and affiliates, including the Grantee, in connection with their employment with the long-term incentive compensation described in this Award Agreement (this “Agreement” or “Award Agreement”), and thereby provide additional incentive for them to promote the progress and success of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates, including the Partnership, while increasing the total return to the Company’s stockholders.  [2016] LTIP Units (SB) (as defined herein) have been awarded by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board as set forth in the Committee’s charter, including authority to make grants of equity interests in the Partnership which may, under certain circumstances, become exchangeable for shares of the Company’s Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2003 Plan, or any successor equity plan (as any such plan may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, collectively the “Stock Plan”).  This Agreement evidences an award to the Grantee under the LTIP (this “Award”), which is subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.  
C.    The Grantee was selected by the Committee to receive this Award as one of a select group of highly compensated or management employees who, through the effective execution of their assigned duties and responsibilities, are in a position to have a direct and measurable impact on the Company’s long-term financial results.  Effective as of the grant date specified in Schedule A hereto, the Committee awarded to the Grantee the number of [2016] LTIP Units (SB) (as defined herein) set forth in Schedule A.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Partnership and the Grantee agree as follows:  
1.Administration.  The LTIP and all awards thereunder, including this Award, shall be administered by the Committee, which in the administration of the LTIP shall have all the powers and authority it has in the administration of the Stock Plan, as set forth in the Stock Plan.  


        





The Committee may from time to time adopt any rules or procedures it deems necessary or desirable for the proper and efficient administration of the LTIP, consistent with the terms hereof and of the Stock Plan.

(a)    the assignment to the Grantee of any duties materially inconsistent in any respect with the Grantee’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities (whether or not occurring solely as a result of the Company’s ceasing to be a publicly traded entity);

If the Grantee suffers a Disability or dies following the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (a) through (e) above and the Grantee has given the Company the requisite written notice but the Company has failed to remedy the situation prior to such physical or mental incapacity or death, the Grantee’s physical or mental incapacity or death shall not affect the ability of the Grantee or his heirs or beneficiaries, as applicable, to treat the Grantee’s termination of employment as a termination for Good Reason.  For purposes of the definition of Good Reason, the term “Base Salary” means the annual base rate of compensation payable to Grantee by the Company as of the Grantee’s date of termination, before deductions or voluntary deferrals authorized by the Grantee or required by law to be withheld from the Grantee by the Company.

3.    Award of [2016] LTIP Units (SB).On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, as well as the terms and conditions of the Stock Plan, the Grantee is hereby granted this Award consisting of the number of [2016] LTIP Units (SB) set forth on Schedule A hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference (the “Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB)”).
(a)Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) shall constitute and be treated as the property of the Grantee as of the applicable grant date, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement.  Every grant of Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) to the Grantee pursuant to this Award shall be set forth in minutes of the meetings of the Committee.  Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) will be: (A) subject to vesting and/or forfeiture to the extent provided in Section 4; and (B) subject to restrictions on transfer as provided in Section 8 hereof.
4.    Vesting of Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB).
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 5 hereof and/or the Stock Plan, the Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) shall become vested in the amounts provided in Schedule A hereto, provided that the Continuous Service of the Grantee continues through and on the relevant Vesting Date.
(b)    The Grantee agrees to provide Continuous Service to the Company in consideration for the conditional rights to the unvested Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB).  Except as otherwise provided in Section 5 or pursuant to the Stock Plan, the Vesting Schedule provided in Schedule A hereto requires Continuous Service through each applicable Vesting Date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment and rights and benefits under this Agreement.  Partial service, even if substantial, during any vesting period will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or service as provided in Section 5 below or under the Stock Plan.  
5.    Change of Control or Termination of Grantee’s Service Relationship.
(a)    If the Grantee is a party to a Service Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5 shall govern the vesting of the Grantee’s Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) exclusively in the event of a Change of Control or termination of the Grantee’s service relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate, unless the Service Agreement contains provisions that expressly refer to this Section 5 and provides that those provisions of the Service Agreement shall instead govern the vesting of the Grantee’s Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB).  The foregoing sentence will be deemed an amendment to any applicable Service Agreement to the extent required to apply its terms consistently with this Section 5.  In the event an entity ceases to be a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, such action shall be deemed to be a termination of employment of all employees of that entity for purposes of this Agreement, provided that the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make provision in such circumstances for accelerated vesting of some or all of the Grantee’s remaining unvested Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) that have not previously been forfeited effective immediately prior to such event.


7
        





(b)    In the event of a Change of Control or a termination of Grantee’s employment as a result of the Grantee’s death or Disability, the unvested Award [2016] LTIP Units subject to this Agreement that have not been previously forfeited shall automatically and immediately vest as of the date of the Change of Control, Grantee’s death or Disability (or effective immediately prior to such event to the extent necessary in order to enable the realization of the benefits of such acceleration), subject to the provisions of Sections 6.4 and 6.5 of the Stock Plan.  
(c)    In the event of a Qualified Termination, then any portion of his Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) that has not then vested shall continue to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.4 and 6.5 of the Stock Plan.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event vesting pursuant to this Section 5 is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, then, to the extent the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code subject to the six-month delay thereunder, any such vesting or related payments to be made during the six-month period commencing on the Grantee's “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) shall be delayed until the expiration of such six-month period.
(e)    In the event of a termination of employment or other cessation of the Grantee’s Continuous Service other than a Qualified Termination, Grantee’s death or Disability, effective as of the date of such termination or cessation, all Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) except for those that had previously become vested pursuant to Section 4 hereof and Schedule A hereto shall automatically and immediately be forfeited by the Grantee.  Any forfeited Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, automatically and without notice be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor any of his successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB).  
6.    Payments by Award Recipients.  No amount shall be payable to the Company or the Partnership by the Grantee at any time in respect of this Award. 
7.    Distributions.  Distributions on Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) will be paid in accordance with the Partnership Agreement as modified hereby as follows:The LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) with respect to the Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) shall be the Effective Date and the Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) shall be entitled to the full distribution payable on Units outstanding as of the record date for the quarterly distribution in which the Effective Date falls even though the Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) will not have been outstanding for the whole quarterly period.  All distributions paid with respect to Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable when paid whether the underlying Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) are vested or unvested.  
(a)    To the extent that the Partnership makes distributions to holders of Units partially in cash and partially in additional Units or other securities, unless the Committee in its sole discretion determines to allow the Grantee to make a different election, the Grantee shall be 


8
        





deemed to have elected with respect to all Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) eligible to receive such distribution to receive 10% of such distribution in cash and 90% in Units.
8.    Restrictions on Transfer.  None of the Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or other legal or equitable proceeding) (each such action a “Transfer”), or redeemed in accordance with the Partnership Agreement (a) prior to vesting, and (b) unless such Transfer is in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and the applicable terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement; and provided, further, that the Transferee agrees in writing with the Company and the Partnership not to make any further Transfer of such vested Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) or Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) that have been converted into Units (“Converted LTIP Units”) other than as permitted by this Section 8.  In connection with any Transfer of Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) or Converted LTIP Units, the Partnership may require the Grantee to provide an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Partnership, that such Transfer is in compliance with all federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act).  Any attempted Transfer of Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 8 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) as a result of any such Transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such Transfer of any Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB).  The restrictions on Transfer in this Section 8 shall not be interpreted to prohibit the Grantee from designating one or more beneficiaries to receive the Grantee’s LTIP Units or Converted LTIP Units that are payable in the event of the Grantee’s death. Any such beneficiary designation shall be on a form provided or approved by the Company.
9.    Changes in Capital Structure.  Without duplication with the provisions of Section 6.2 of the Stock Plan, if (a) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company, spin-off of a Subsidiary, business unit or significant portion of assets or other fundamental transaction similar thereto, (b) any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, reclassification, recapitalization, significant repurchases of stock, or other similar change in the capital structure of the Company shall occur, (c) any extraordinary dividend or other distribution to holders of shares of Common Stock or Units other than regular cash dividends shall be made, or (d) any other event shall occur that in each case in the good faith judgment of the Committee necessitates action by way of appropriate equitable adjustment in the terms of this Award, the LTIP or the Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB), then the Committee shall take such action as it deems necessary to maintain the Grantee’s rights hereunder so that they are substantially proportionate to the rights existing under this Award, the LTIP and the terms of the Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) prior to such event, including, without limitation: (i) adjustments in the Award [2016] LTIP Units (SB) or other pertinent terms of this Award; and (ii) substitution of other awards under the Stock Plan or otherwise.

(g)    Investment Representations; Registration.  The Grantee hereby makes the covenants, representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.  All of such covenants, warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Grantee.

The Limited Partner agrees that it will transfer, whether by assignment or otherwise, Partnership Units only to the General Partner or to transferees that provide the Partnership and the General Partner with the representations and covenants set forth in Sections 4 and 5 hereof.
