nonassessable shares of (i) Class B-1 Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Class B-1 Common Stock"), of the Company, if this Warrant is

("WAT"), a public trust constituted under the laws of Australia pursuant to
the Westfield America Trust Deed, dated March 28, 1996, with Perpetual
Trustee Company Limited, as Trustee, on behalf of WAT, or (ii) Class B-2
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class B-2 Common Stock" and,
together with the Class B-1 Common Stock, the "Common Stock"), of the
Company, if this Warrant is exercised by a holder other than the WAT
Trustee, in each case at a purchase price per share of $16.01 (as adjusted
from time to time, the "Exercise Price"), at any time or from time to time
on or after the date hereof and (b) to exercise the other rights set forth
herein. The number and character of such shares of Common Stock and the
Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided herein.
1. Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised at
any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof and prior to
July 1, 2016 (the "Expiration Date") by the holder hereof, in whole or in
part, on any business day by:
(a) the presentation of this Warrant, together with a
duly executed copy of the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit
A and the other documentation set forth therein, to the Secretary
of the Company at its principal offices, upon which presentation
the Secretary of the Company shall make appropriate notations in
the stock transfer records (and other records, as appropriate) of
the Company indicating the number of shares of Common Stock issued
pursuant to such exercise and the number of shares of Common
Stock, if any, into which the Warrant thereafter shall remain
exercisable; and
(b) the payment, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds or certified or official bank check payable to the
order of the Company of an amount equal to the amount obtained by
multiplying (i) the number of shares of Common Stock designated in
such Exercise Form by (ii) the Exercise Price.
This Warrant shall expire on the Expiration Date.
2. Certificates for Shares of Common Stock. As soon as
practicable after the proper exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part,
and in any event within 30 days thereafter, the Company will cause to be
issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof:
(a) a certificate or certificates for the number of duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock to which the holder hereof shall be entitled upon
such exercise;
(b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant
of like tenor, calling on its face for the number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the number of such shares called for on the
face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares designated by
the holder hereof upon such exercise as provided in Section 1
hereof.
3. Reservation of Shares of Common Stock. The Company
covenants that it will at all times keep available such number of
authorized shares of its Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant, which will be sufficient to permit the exercise of the Warrant for
the full number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrant is
exercisable during the exercise period specified herein. The Company
further covenants that such shares of Common Stock, when issued pursuant to
the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.
4. Adjustment of Number of Shares of Common Stock. The
number and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If
the Company shall at any time prior to the Expiration Date
subdivide its Common Stock by stock split or otherwise, or combine
its capital stock by reverse stock split or otherwise, or issue
additional securities as a dividend with respect to any shares of
its Common Stock, as the case may be, the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall
forthwith be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price
shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or
stock dividend, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately
decreased and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately
increased in the case of a combination. Any adjustment
under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of
business on the date the sub division or combination becomes
effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the
event that no record date is fixed, upon the payment of such
dividend.
(b) Reconstruction. If prior to the Expiration Date, the
Company effects a capital reconstruction (other than a
subdivision, combination or stock dividend covered by paragraph
(a) above), merger, consolidation or any return of capital or
other capital distribution, except for periodic distributions made
pro-rata among the shareholders of a class of stock or units which
are not in redemption of any shares of Common Stock, or any
similar capital transaction that would affect the capital
structure of the Company, excluding any payment of an ordinary
cash dividend in respect of the operations of the Company, then in
such event (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise hereof, (ii) the Exercise Price, or (iii) some or all of
such factors, will be adjusted, as appropriate, in a manner (x)
approved by the Company and the holder hereof and (y) which is
fair and equitable to the holder hereof and the holders of Common
Stock.
(c) Mergers, etc. If prior to the Expiration Date, the
Company shall be merged or consolidated into a new entity or if
the Company shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets
to another entity, then upon a subsequent exercise of this
Warrant, the holder hereof shall be entitled to receive securities
in the new transferee entity equal to what the holder hereof would
have received had it exercised this Warrant and owned shares of
Class B Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction.
(d) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required
to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Company promptly shall notify the
holder of this Warrant of such event and of the number of shares
and the type of securities or property thereafter purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant.
(e) Disputes. If a dispute arises between the Company and
the holder hereof in relation to an adjustment to: (i) the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof, (ii) the
Exercise Price, or (iii) some or all of such factors, to be made
pursuant to this Section 4, either party is entitled to refer the
dispute (but no other dispute) to an Expert. "Expert" means an
independent, international investment banking firm agreed to by
the Company and the holder hereof, or (in default of agreement),
an independent, international investment banking firm nominated
(at the request of any party) by the President or the head for the
time being of the Australian Institute of Chartered Accountants.

parties responsible for paying the costs of the Expert having
regard to his findings concerning resolution of the dispute,
provided that the holder hereof will not bear any expense in
excess of its pro rata interest in the Company.

scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of
this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make
a cash payment therefor on the basis of the exercise price then in effect
with respect to this Warrant.

Warrant shall be subject to certain limited restrictions on transferability
(including a right of first refusal) set forth in the Stockholders'
Agreement, dated as of July 1, 1996, among the Company, the original holder
of this Warrant and certain other parties, a copy of which shall be
furnished without charge to the holder hereof upon request, and the
Company's articles of incorporation.

otherwise disposed of, and this Warrant may not be exercised, unless (A)
such disposition or exercise is pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, (B) the holder hereof shall have
