                       THE ROUSE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                               September 30, 1999

(1) Principles of statement presentation
- ----------------------------------------

      The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments
           which are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly reflect
           the Company's financial position and results of operations. All such
           adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The statements have
           been prepared using the accounting policies described in the 1998
           Annual Report to Shareholders.

      Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
           presentation.

(2) Tax status
- --------------

      The Company determined that it would elect to be taxed as a real estate
           investment trust (REIT) effective January 1, 1998 pursuant to the
           Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Management believes the Company
           met the qualifications for REIT status as of September 30, 1999, and
           intends for it to continue to meet the qualifications in the future.
           Accordingly, management does not expect that the Company will be
           liable for significant income taxes at the Federal level or in most
           states in which it operates in 1999 and future years.

      In  connection with its election to be taxed as a REIT, the Company
           elected to be subject to the "built-in gain" rules. Under these
           rules, taxes will be payable to the extent that the net unrealized
           gains on the Company's assets (calculated as of the date of
           conversion to REIT status) are recognized in taxable dispositions
           during the ten-year period following the conversion. At September 30,
           1999, these net unrealized gains were approximately $2,200,000,000
           and the Company's regular tax net operating loss carryforward was
           sufficient to offset built-in gains on assets the Company has
           identified for disposition. Therefore, no net deferred tax liability
           for built-in gain taxes has been recognized. It may however, be
           necessary to recognize a liability for such taxes in the future if
           management's plans and intentions with respect to asset dispositions,
           or the related tax laws, change.

         agreements except where refinancing commitments from outside lenders
         have been obtained. In these instances, maturities are determined based
         on the terms of the refinancing commitments.

(5) Segment information
- -----------------------

       In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
         No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
         Information." This Statement establishes standards for reporting
         financial information about operating segments and provides for a
         "management approach" to identifying the reportable segments in place
         of the industry segment approach used previously.

       The Company has five reportable segments: retail centers, office,
         mixed-use and other properties, land sales operations, development and
         corporate. Segment operating results are measured and assessed based on
         a performance measure referred to as Funds from Operations (FFO). The
         Company defines FFO as net earnings (computed in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles), excluding cumulative effects
         of changes in accounting principles, extraordinary or unusual items,
         gains or losses from sales of properties, depreciation and amortization
         and deferred income taxes. Additionally, equity in earnings of
         unconsolidated ventures and minority interests have been adjusted to
         reflect FFO on the same basis. The method used by the Company to
         compute FFO may differ from methods used by other REITs. FFO is not a
         measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as
         measured by generally accepted accounting principles. It is not
         necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should
         not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of
         liquidity.

       The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the
         Company, except that real estate ventures in which the Company holds
         substantially all (at least 98%) of the financial interest but does not
         own a majority voting interest (majority financial interest ventures)
         are accounted for on a consolidated basis, rather than using the equity
         method. Additionally, the Company's share of FFO of unconsolidated
         real estate ventures in which it holds a minority interest is included
         in revenues.

       The net gain on operating properties in 1999 relates primarily to a gain

         in 1998 relates primarily to a loss on a disposal of a retail property
         in the third quarter of 1998 partially offset by a reduced provision
         for a loss recorded in the first quarter, relating to a retail center
         sold in April 1998.

(6) Gain on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, continued
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

       During the second quarter of 1999, the Company announced and initiated
         the consolidation of its Retail Operations and Office and Mixed-Use
         Operations divisions into a single Property Operations Division. In
         addition, the Company integrated certain operating, administrative and
         support functions of the Hughes Division into its Columbia
         headquarters. The costs relating to these organizational changes of
         $6.2 million represent primarily severance and other benefits to
         terminated employees.

(7)    Extraordinary gain(loss), net
- ------------------------------------

       The extraordinary loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
         relates to a loss on the extinguishment of the convertible
         subordinated debentures prior to their scheduled maturity.

       The gain for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 resulted from debt
         extinguished in connection with the transfer of title to a property to
         the related mortgage lender in the second quarter of 1998 ($14.8
         million). This gain was partially offset by losses on extinguishments
         of other debt prior to scheduled maturities. The loss for the three
         months ended September 30, 1998 resulted from extinguishment of debt
         prior to its scheduled maturity. One of the losses in the nine months
         ended September 30, 1998 was incurred by a majority financial interest
         venture. The debt was related to a hotel property which the venture
         sold, and a portion of the proceeds of the sale was used to repay the
         debt. The loss related to the majority financial interest venture is
         net of related income taxes.

(9) Contingencies
    -------------

    The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in various
     litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of
     which involve claims for damages that are substantial in amount.  Some of
     these litigation matters are covered by insurance.  In the opinion of
     management, adequate provision has been made for losses with respect to all
     litigation matters, where appropriate, and the ultimate resolution of all
     such litigation matters is not likely to have a material effect on the
     consolidated financial position of the Company. Due to the Company's
     fluctuating net earnings (loss), it is not possible to predict whether the
     resolution of these matters is likely to have a material effect on the
     Company's consolidated net earnings (loss), and it is, therefore, possible
     that resolution of these matters could have such an effect in any future
     quarter or year.

(10) Property acquisitions, dispositions and related matters
     -------------------------------------------------------

    In 1998, the Company completed several property acquisitions, including the
     purchase of interests in seven retail centers from TrizecHahn Centers Inc.
     (Trizec)  In February 1999, the Company contributed its ownership interests
     in four of the acquired centers (Bridgewater Commons, Fashion Place Mall,
     Park Meadows and Towson Town Center) to a joint venture (the "Four State
     Venture") in which it retained a 35% ownership interest.  Another venturer
     contributed approximately $271 million in cash to the Four State Venture
     and received a 65% ownership interest.  Four State Venture used the
     contributed cash to repay approximately $271 million of Company borrowings
     under its bridge loan credit facility.  The fair value of the consideration
     received in the formation of the joint venture was considered in the
     Company's allocation of the initial acquisition costs of all of the
     property interests acquired from Trizec. Accordingly, no gain or loss was
     recognized on the sale.  The Company's 35% ownership interest in the Four
     State Venture related to these property interests, except for its interest
     in Fashion Place Mall, is accounted for using the equity method.

    The Four State Venture agreement provides for the purchase, at the option of
     the Company or the other venturer and subject to certain terms and
     conditions, of the other venturer's interest in the Four State Venture
     related to Fashion Place Mall at a specified amount.  Accordingly, the
     transaction related to Fashion Place Mall was accounted for as a financing.
     If the option is exercised, the

      purchase price can be paid, at the option of the Company, in cash or in
      common stock of the Company.

    In June 1999, the Company sold its interest in Valley Fair Mall to Westfield
      America, Inc. for approximately $147 million.  The Company acquired the
      property in July 1998 from TrizecHahn Centers Inc. for approximately the
      same cost with the intention to sell it and, accordingly, recognized no
      gain or loss on the sale.  In June 1999, the Company also disposed of its
      ownership interest in an operating property located in Los Angeles,
      California.

    In September 1999, the Company announced that it was considering selling
      interests in certain operating properties and land parcels and using the
      proceeds to repay debt and repurchase (subject to certain price
      restrictions) up to $250 million of the Company's common stock. Management
      subsequently identified the properties the Company may want to sell
      (mostly office and industrial buildings in the Baltimore-Washington
      corridor and certain business parks in Las Vegas) and is currently
      developing disposition plans.

(11)  Shelf registration statement
      ----------------------------

     At September 30, 1999, the Company had a shelf registration statement for
      future sale of up to an aggregate of $1.9 billion (based on the public
      offering price) of common stock, Preferred stock and debt securities.  On
      May 4, 1999, the Company issued $200 million of unsecured 8% notes, due in
      April 2009, under this registration statement.  The Company used the net
      proceeds of approximately $198 million to repay the convertible
      subordinated debentures and certain other debt.

(12)  Subsequent events
      -----------------

     In October 1999, the Company sold its interest in Santa Monica Place, a
      retail center, for proceeds of approximately $125 million. The carrying
      value of the property at September 30, 1999 was approximately $65 million
      and, accordingly, the Company will recognize a gain on this property
      disposition of approximately $60 million in the fourth quarter of 1999.

     Also in October 1999, the Company adopted a voluntary early retirement
       program pursuant to which employees who meet certain criteria are
       eligible to participate. Eligible employees must decide whether to accept
       early retirement by November 19, 1999. If all eligible employees elect to
       participate in the program, the Company will recognize a provision of
       approximately $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of 1999.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations:

                       THE ROUSE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

The following discussion and analysis covers any material changes in
  financial condition since December 31, 1998 and any material changes in the
  results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999
  as compared to the same periods in 1998. This discussion and analysis should
  be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
  Condition and Results of Operations included in the 1998 Annual Report to
  Shareholders.

General:
- -------

Through its subsidiaries and affiliates, the Company acquires, develops and
  manages a diversified portfolio of retail centers and office, industrial,
  mixed-use and other properties (office/mixed-use properties) located
  throughout the United States and develops and sells land for residential,
  commercial and other uses, primarily in Columbia, Maryland and Summerlin,
  Nevada.

One of the Company's primary objectives is to own and operate premier properties
  - shopping centers, geographically concentrated groups of office and
  industrial buildings and major mixed-use projects - in major markets across
  the United States. In order to achieve this objective, management is actively
  evaluating opportunities to acquire properties owned by others that may have
  future prospects consistent with the Company's long-term investment criteria
  and is continually evaluating the future outlook for properties in the
  Company's portfolio. This includes considering opportunities to expand and/or
  renovate the properties and assessing whether particular properties are
  meeting or have the potential to meet the Company's investment criteria. The
  Company plans to continue making substantial investments to expand and/or
  renovate leasable mall space and/or add new department stores and/or other
  anchor tenants to its existing properties to meet its objective. The Company
  is also continually evaluating opportunities for new operating properties
  and/or land development projects it believes have future prospects consistent
  with its objectives. The Company has sold a number of properties over the last
  several years and intends to continue to dispose of properties that are not
  meeting and/or are not considered to have the potential to continue to meet
  its investment criteria. In September, 1999 the Company announced that it was
  considering selling interests in certain office and industrial properties and
  land parcels, and using the proceeds to repay debt and repurchase (subject to
  certain price restrictions) up to $250 million of the Company's common stock.
  Management subsequently identified the properties the Company may want to sell
  (mostly office and industrial buildings in the Baltimore-Washington corridor
  and certain business parks in Las Vegas) and is currently developing
  disposition plans.

- ------------------

The Company may also selectively dispose of properties for other reasons.  These
  disposition decisions may cause the Company to recognize gains or losses that
  could have material effects on reported net earnings (loss) in future quarters
  or fiscal years and taken together with the use of sales proceeds, may have a
  material effect on the overall consolidated financial position of the Company.

Portfolio changes:
- -----------------

In 1998, the Company completed several transactions designed to upgrade the
  overall quality of its portfolio of operating properties. In the third and
  fourth quarters, the Company purchased ownership interests in eight retail
  centers, including the interests of partners in two centers (The Fashion Show
  and Governor's Square) in which the Company now holds 100% ownership
  interests. In February 1999, the Company contributed its ownership interests
  in four of the acquired centers (Bridgewater Commons, Fashion Place Mall, Park
  Meadows and Towson Town Center) to a joint venture in which it retained a 35%
  ownership interest. The Company acquired the other two ownership interests
  with the intent to sell them. One of these (Valley Fair Mall) was sold in June
  1999. Also in 1998, the Company disposed of four retail centers (Eastfield
  Mall and Salem Mall in the second quarter, and Greengate Mall and St. Louis
  Union Station in the third quarter) and its 5% ownership interest in six
  retail centers (five in the second quarter and one in the fourth quarter.) In
  the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company acquired the portfolio of office and
  industrial properties and salable land of an entity in which the Company
  previously held a 5% ownership interest. The acquired assets consisted of 64
  buildings (excluding three which were subsequently sold) and approximately 100
  acres of land. Substantially all of the acquired assets are in the Baltimore-
  Washington metropolitan area. These properties may be sold pursuant to the
  disposition plans currently in development as described above. The Company
  and its affiliates disposed of their interests in two hotels and certain
  industrial buildings in Baltimore and Columbia and their office properties in
  Los Angeles in the first quarter of 1998. In June 1999, the Company sold its
  ownership interest in an operating property located in Los Angeles,
  California. In October 1999, the Company sold its ownership interest in Santa
  Monica Place, a retail center.

Portfolio changes, continued:
- ----------------------------

The Company and its affiliates also completed certain development projects to
  enhance the quality of its portfolio. A new regional shopping center opened in
  Orlando, Florida in the first quarter of 1998, and two community retail
  centers opened in the Summerlin/Las Vegas area in the second quarter of 1998.
  Expansions of nine retail centers opened in 1998 (three in the first quarter
  and six in the fourth quarter), and three community retail centers in Columbia
  were substantially redeveloped. Six office and industrial buildings opened in
  Las Vegas and Summerlin in 1998, and Arizona Center, in Phoenix was expanded
  in the first quarter of 1998 to include a 90,000 square foot cinema. Four
  office and industrial buildings opened in Las Vegas and Summerlin in the
  second quarter of 1999. An affiliate of the Company opened a new 100,000
  square foot office building in Columbia's town center in January 1999 and the
  expansion of The Mall in Columbia in September 1999.

Operating results:
- -----------------

As indicated in the 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders, the discussion of
  operating results covers each of the Company's business segments as management
  believes that a segment analysis provides the most effective means of
  understanding the business. Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements
  included in this Form 10-Q should be referred to when reading this discussion
  and analysis. As discussed in note 5, the Company adopted Statement of
  Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
  Enterprise and Related Information" in 1998. As required by the Statement,
  segment operating data are reported using the accounting policies followed by
  the Company for internal reporting to management. These policies are the same
  as those followed for external reporting, except that majority financial
  interest ventures (real estate ventures in which the Company holds
  substantially all (at least 98%) of the financial interests, but does not own
  a majority voting interest) are reported on a consolidated basis rather than
  using the equity method; the Company's share of FFO of unconsolidated real
  estate ventures in which it holds a minority interest is included in revenues;
  and the Company's share of depreciation and amortization expense of
  unconsolidated real estate ventures in which it holds a minority interest is
  included in depreciation and amortization expense. Also, gains (losses) on
  dispositions of assets and other provisions, net in this discussion and
  analysis includes the Company's share of those items recorded by the majority
  financial interest ventures. These differences affect only the reported
  revenue, operating and interest expenses and depreciation and amortization
  expense of the segments and

Revenues from retail centers increased $2.6 and $36.0 for the three and nine
  months ended September 30, 1999, respectively, compared to the same periods in
  1998. The increases in revenues were attributable primarily to effects of the
  aforementioned acquisitions (approximately $2.9 and $26.2 for the three and
  nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively) and project openings and
  expansions (approximately $2.2 and $14.9 for the three and nine months ended
  September 30, 1999, respectively), and higher average occupancy levels at
  comparable properties (94.7% in 1999 compared to 92.0% in 1998). These
  increases were partially offset by the aforementioned dispositions
  (approximately $6.4 and $17.3 for the three and nine months ended September
  30, 1999, respectively).

Total operating and interest expenses for retail centers increased $3.0 and
  $27.5 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively,
  compared to the same periods in 1998. The increases in operating and interest
  expenses were attributable primarily to the aforementioned acquisitions
  (approximately $1.4 and $21.1 for the three and nine months ended September
  30, 1999, respectively), project openings and expansions (approximately $4.4
  and $16.4 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999,

Revenues from office, mixed-use and other properties increased $14.1 and $32.8
  for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively, compared
  to the same periods in 1998. The increases in revenues were attributable
  primarily to the aforementioned acquisition (approximately $10.1 and $30.6 for
  the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively) and project
  openings and expansion (approximately $2.4 and $6.7 for the three and nine
  months ended September 30, 1999, respectively). These increases were partially
  offset by the dispositions of properties in 1998 and 1999 (approximately $.3
  and $6.7 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999,
  respectively).

Total operating and interest expenses for office, mixed-use and other properties
  increased $11.7 and $22.4 for the three and nine months ended September 30,

  were partially offset by the aforementioned dispositions (approximately $.2
  and $6.0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively)
  and lower interest expense related to the refinancing of a mixed-use property.
  Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.1 and $7.3 for the three
  and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively, compared to the same
  periods in 1998. The increases were attributable primarily to the portfolio
  changes described above.

Land Sales Operations:

Land sales operations relate primarily to the communities of Columbia, Maryland
  and Summerlin, Nevada. Generally, revenues and operating income from land
  sales are affected by such factors as the availability to purchasers of
  construction and permanent mortgage financing at acceptable interest rates,
  consumer and business confidence, availability of saleable land for particular
  uses and management's decisions to sell, develop or retain land.

Operating results of land sales operations are summarized as follows (in
  millions):

Part I.  Financial Information, continued
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations, (continued):


Revenues from Hughes land sales operations increased $6.4 for the three months
  ended September 30, 1999 and decreased $31.5 for the nine months ended
  September 30, 1999, while related costs and expenses increased $5.8 and
  decreased $23.2, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1998. The
  increases in revenues and related costs and expenses for the three months are
  due to higher levels of sales of investment land. The decreases in revenues
  and related costs and expenses for the nine months relate primarily to a
  reduction in sales of business park land, particularly in Los Angeles. The
  Company sold all of the land in its Los Angeles business park in the first
  quarter of 1998.

Revenues from land sales operations in Columbia increased $5.8 and $18.1 for the
  three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively, while related
  costs and expenses increased $3.2 and $11.5, respectively, compared to the
  same periods in 1998. The increases in revenues and related costs and expenses
  for the three and nine month periods were due primarily to higher levels of
  sales for commercial uses.

Development:

Development expenses consist primarily of additions to the preconstruction
  reserves and new business costs. The preconstruction reserves are maintained
  to provide for costs of projects which may not go forward to completion. The
  amounts and timing of the changes in preconstruction reserves and their
  effects on development expenses are related to the level and timing of
  spending on specific projects and the achievement of certain development
  milestones that increase the likelihood of specific project completion. New
  business costs relate to the evaluation of potential regional retail center
  sites, acquisition and disposition opportunities and alternative revenue
  sources. The expenses increased $1.7 million and decreased $1.5 million,
  respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999,
  respectively, compared to the same periods in 1998. The decreases in expenses
  in the nine month period are a result of projects progressing to further
  stages of development and the recovery of certain costs previously expensed.

Corporate:

Corporate expenses consist of certain interest and operating expenses reduced by
  costs capitalized or allocated to other segments. Interest is capitalized on
  corporate funds invested in projects under development, and interest on the
  proceeds of corporate borrowings and distributions on the Company-obligated
  mandatorily redeemable preferred securities which are used for other segments
  are allocated to those segments.

Corporate, continued:

  Accordingly, corporate interest expense consists primarily of interest on the
  convertible subordinated debentures which were retired in the second quarter
  1999, the unsecured 8% notes issued in the second quarter 1999, the unsecured
  8.5% notes, the medium-term notes, and unallocated proceeds from refinancings
  of certain properties, net of interest capitalized on development projects or
  allocated to other segments, and corporate operating expenses consist
  primarily of general and administrative costs, current federal income taxes
  and distributions on the redeemable preferred securities, net of distributions
  allocated to other segments. These costs decreased $3.0 million and $1.3
  million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively,
  as compared to the same periods in 1998. The decreases in the three and nine
  month periods were primarily attributable to lower income taxes incurred by
  certain majority financial interest ventures.

Corporate investment income (loss), net consists primarily of corporate interest
  income on cash invested and notes receivable and gains (losses) on marketable
  securities held by the Company.

Gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net:

Gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, including the

The net gain on operating properties in the nine months ended September 30, 1999
  relates primarily to a gain on the sale of a property in the second quarter of
  1999 and to a net gain recorded by a majority financial interest venture on an
  office property sold in the third quarter of 1999. The net gain in the nine
  months ended September 30, 1998 relates primarily to a reduced provision for a
  loss on a retail center sold in April 1998 and to

         Results of Operations, (continued):

Gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, continued:

  a net gain recorded by a majority financial interest venture related to the
  sale of a hotel property partially offset by a loss on disposal of a retail
  property in the third quarter 1998.

During the second quarter of 1999, the Company announced and initiated the
  consolidation of its Retail Operations and Office and Mixed-Use Operations
  divisions into a single Property Operations Division. In addition, the Company
  integrated certain operating, administrative and support functions of the
  Hughes Division into its Columbia headquarters. The costs relating to these
  organizational changes of $6.2 million represent primarily severance and other
  benefits to terminated employees.

Extraordinary gain(loss), net:

The extraordinary loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 relates to a
  loss on the extinguishment of the convertible subordinated debentures prior to
  their scheduled maturity.

The gain for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 resulted from
  debt extinguishment in connection with the transfer of title to a property to
  the related mortgage lender in the second quarter of 1998 ($14.8 million).
  This gain was partially offset by losses on extinguishment of other debt prior
  to scheduled maturities. The loss for the three months ended September 30,
  1998 resulted from extinguishment of debt prior to its scheduled maturity. One
  of the losses in the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was incurred by a
  majority financial interest venture. The debt was related to a hotel property
  which the venture sold, and a portion of the proceeds of the sale were used to
  repay the debt. The loss related to the majority financial interest venture is
  net of related income taxes.

Net earnings:

Net earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
  were affected by unusual and/or nonrecurring items, as well as property
  acquisitions and dispositions. The most significant of these are the items set
  forth in the above discussion. Also, in 1998, the net earnings was affected by
  the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for participating mortgages.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations, (continued):

Financial condition and liquidity:

Shareholders' equity increased by $14.9 million from December 31, 1998 to
  September 30, 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to net earnings
  for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and issuance of common stock
  pursuant to the Contingent Stock Agreement, partially offset by the payment of
  regular quarterly dividends on the Company's common and Preferred stocks and
  purchases of common stock.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable
  securities totaling $36.7 million at September 30, 1999, including $4.6
  million of investments held for restricted uses.

In July 1998, the Company obtained an $800 million unsecured line of credit
  facility from a group of lenders to replace a $250 million revolving line of
  credit facility. The facility was structured as a $350 million 364 day bridge
  loan facility to fund specific property acquisitions made in the third and
  fourth quarters of 1998, and a $450 million three-year revolving line of
  credit. The bridge loan facility was fully repaid and has expired. Repayment
  of borrowings under the revolving line of credit is guaranteed by certain of
  the Company's majority financial interest ventures. The revolving line of
  credit may be used for various purposes, including project development costs,
  property acquisitions, liquidity and other corporate needs. It may also be
  used to pay some portion of existing debt. At September 30, 1999, the Company
  had outstanding borrowings of $224 million under the line of credit.

As of September 30, 1999, debt due in one year was $82 million, including
  balloon payments due in the first nine months of 2000 of $29 million. These
  balloon payments are expected to be paid at or before the scheduled maturity
  dates of the related loans from the proceeds of property refinancings, credit
  facility borrowings, proceeds of the sales of property interests held for
  sale, proceeds from the sales of other properties discussed below or other
  available corporate funds. The Company had remaining availability under its
  revolving credit facility of $226 million at September 30, 1999. The Company
  is continually evaluating sources of capital, and management believes there
  are satisfactory sources available for all requirements without necessitating
  sales of operating properties. The Company may, however, selectively dispose
  of operating properties or groups of operating properties when it believes it
  is prudent to do so.

Financial condition and liquidity, continued:

In September 1999, the Company announced that it was considering selling
  interests in certain office and industrial properties and land parcels and
  using the proceeds to repay debt and repurchase (subject to certain price
  restrictions) up to $250 million of the Company's common stock.
  Managementsubsequently identified the properties the Company may want to sell
  (mostly office and industrial buildings in the Baltimore-Washington corridor
  and certain business parks in Las Vegas) and is currently developing
  disposition plans.

In October 1999, the Company sold its interest in Santa Monica Place, a retail
  center, for proceeds of approximately $125 million. The carrying value of the
  property at September 30, 1999 was approximately $65 million and, accordingly,
  the Company will recognize a gain on this property disposition of
  approximately $60 million in the fourth quarter of 1999.

The Company has a shelf registration statement for the sale of up to an
  aggregate of approximately $2.25 billion (based on the public offering price)
  of common stock, Preferred stock and debt securities. On May 4, 1999, the
  Company issued $200 million of unsecured 8% notes, due in April 2009, under
  this registration statement. The Company used the net proceeds of
  approximately $198 million to repay the convertible subordinated debentures
  and certain other debt. At September 30, 1999, the Company had issued
  approximately $358 million of common stock and debt securities (including the
  unsecured notes referred to above) under the shelf registration statement,
  with a remaining availability of approximately $1.9 billion. Also, under an
  effective registration statement the Company may issue additional medium-term
  notes of up to $29.7 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $155.4 million and $215.4 million
  for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The level
  of cash flows provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of
  receipts of rents and other revenues and payment of operating and interest
  expenses. The decrease in net cash provided of $60 million was due primarily
  to lower proceeds from land sales and on notes receivable from land sales that
  the Company financed prior to 1998, and lower operating distributions from
  unconsolidated majority financial interest ventures. The level of cash
  provided by operating distributions from unconsolidated majority financial
  interest ventures is affected by the timing of receipt of their land sales
  revenues, payment of operating and interest expenses and other sources and
  uses of cash. Other changes in net cash provided by operating activities were
  due to the factors discussed previously under the operating results of the
  four major business segments.

         Results of Operations, (continued):

Financial condition and liquidity, continued:

Net cash used in investing activities was $96.9 million and $434.0 million for
  the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease
  in net cash used of $337.1 million was due primarily to a decrease in
  expenditures for property acquisitions (primarily Park Meadows Mall and Valley
  Fair Mall in 1998) higher proceeds from sales of interests in properties
  (primarily Valley Fair Mall) and a decrease in expenditures for properties in
  development partially offset by higher net advances made to majority financial
  interest ventures.

Net cash used by financing activities was $64.0 million for the nine months
  ended September 30, 1999, and net cash provided by financing activities was
  $173.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in
  net cash used of $237.6 million was due primarily to lower proceeds from the
  issuance of other debt (credit line draws in 1998 used for property
  acquisitions) and by higher net repayments of other debt, primarily with
  proceeds from the sale of operating properties.

Year 2000 issue:

The year 2000 (Y2K) issue relates to whether computer systems will properly
  recognize date sensitive information to allow accurate processing of
  transactions and data relating to the year 2000 and beyond. In addition, the
  Y2K issue relates to whether non-Information Technology (IT) systems that
  depend on embedded computer technology will recognize the year 2000. Systems
  that do not properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data
  or fail.

In 1996, the Company adopted a plan to replace virtually all of its management
  information and accounting systems. This plan was adopted in the context of
  the Company's long-term Information Systems strategy rather than to
  specifically address Y2K issues. In accordance with this plan, all mission-
  critical IT systems have been replaced with systems that have been certified
  by the vendors as Y2K compliant. To date, the Company has implemented new
  financial accounting, accounts payable, property management, human resources,
  payroll and leasing systems. The Company completed testing of all new mission-
  critical systems in the second quarter and has addressed all Y2K compliance
  issues identified during testing. In addition, in connection with the
  Company's normal upgrade and replacement process, all new network and desktop
  equipment meet the requirements for Y2K. The hardware and software that
  supports the Company's local and wide area networks have been tested. All
  network components identified as not Y2K compliant have been replaced or
  upgraded with hardware or software that is Y2K compliant. The cost to
  specifically remediate Y2K issues has not been material.

Part I.  Financial Information, continued
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations, (continued):


Year 2000 issue, continued:

For non-IT systems, the Company has completed a comprehensive review of computer
  hardware and software in mechanical systems and has developed a program to
  repair or replace non-IT systems that are not year 2000 compliant. The program
  was substantially completed in the third quarter of 1999. Costs to
  specifically remediate non-IT systems (e.g., escalators, elevators, heating,
  ventilating and cooling systems, etc.) that are non-compliant are not expected
  to exceed $1 million. Management does not believe that the year 2000 issue
  will pose significant problems in its IT or non-IT systems, or that resolution
  of any potential problems with respect to these systems will have a material
  effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

The Company has also performed a review of the Y2K disclosures of certain of its
  major tenants, anchor stores, suppliers and major financial institutions. The
  disclosures did not indicate any specific Y2K issues with respect to these
  parties and generally indicated that they are satisfied with respect to the
  readiness of their internal IT systems. However, these parties indicated
  uncertainty with respect to the readiness of their vendors, customers,
  suppliers and various other third parties. The Company will continue to
  monitor these disclosures and make contingency plans where appropriate. The
  Company has developed a contingency plan to respond to any temporary
  disruption of service from its financial institutions.

It is very difficult to identify "the most reasonably likely worst-case
  scenario." The Company's exposure is widely spread, with no known major direct
  exposure. The Company believes that the most likely worst-case exposure is at
  the indirect level, involving vendors, suppliers and tenants. Although the
  Company is not currently aware of any specific Y2K issues of third parties,
  and believes that its internal Y2K issues have been adequately addressed,
  there can be no assurance that the Company has adequately assessed or
  identified all aspects of its business which may be affected by Y2K issues,
  and that Y2K issues including those that may affect its vendors, suppliers and
  tenants, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
  condition or results of operations.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk:


Information relating to forward-looking statements:

This report on Form 10-Q of the Company includes forward-looking statements
  which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and
  financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain
  risks and uncertainties, including those identified below, which could cause
  actual results to differ materially from historical results or those
  anticipated. The words believe, expect, anticipate and similar expressions
  identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue
  reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their
  dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
  forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
  events, or otherwise. The following factors could cause actual results to
  differ materially from historical results or those anticipated: (1) risks
  associated with the Company's qualification and operation as a REIT; (2) real
  estate investment risks; (3) development risks; (4) illiquidity of real estate
  investments; (5) dependence on rental income from real property; (6) effect of
  uninsured loss; (7) lack of geographical diversification; (8) possible
  environmental liabilities; (9) difficulties of compliance with the Americans
  with Disabilities Act; (10) competition; (11) changes in the economic climate
  and (12) certain matters relating to Nevada properties; (13) changes in tax
  laws or regulations; (14) risk relating to Year 2000 issues. For a more
  detailed discussion of these factors, see Exhibit 99.2 of the Company's Form
  10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

Market risk information:

The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial
  and commodity instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market
  prices or rates. The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest rate
  risk relating to variable rate borrowings used to maintain liquidity (e.g.,
  revolving credit facility advances) or finance project acquisition or
  development costs (e.g., construction loan advances). The Company's interest
  rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes
  on earnings and cash flows. In order to achieve this objective, the Company
  relies primarily on long-term, fixed rate, nonrecourse loans from
  institutional lenders to finance its operating properties. In addition, long-
  term, fixed rate financing is typically arranged concurrently with or shortly
  after a variable rate project acquisition or construction loan is negotiated.
  The Company also makes limited use of interest rate exchange agreements,
  including interest rate swaps and caps, to mitigate its interest rate risk on
  variable rate debt. The Company does not enter into interest rate exchange
  agreements for speculative purposes and the fair value of these and other
  derivative financial instruments is insignificant at September 30, 1999.

Market risk information, continued:

The Company's interest rate risk is monitored closely by management.  The table
  below presents the principal amounts due and weighted-average interest rates
  applicable to principal amounts outstanding at the end of each year. This
  information may be used to evaluate the expected cash flows of the Company
  under debt and related agreements and its sensitivity to interest rate
  changes. The information relating to debt maturities (in millions) is based on
  expected maturity dates which consider anticipated refinancing or other
  transactions.

</TABLE>

At September 30, 1999, the Company had interest rate cap agreements which
  effectively limit the average interest rate on all of the variable rate LIBOR
  debt maturing in 2002 to 9.0%.

As the table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of September 30,
  1999, it does not consider exposures or positions which could arise after that
  date. As a result, the Company's ultimate realized gain or loss with respect
  to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise after
  September 30, 1999, the Company's hedging strategies during that period and
  interest rates.

                               THE ROUSE COMPANY
                           1999 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

                                    Purpose

     The purpose of The Rouse Company 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is
to advance the interests of The Rouse Company (together with all present and
future subsidiaries and affiliates which meet the definition of "subsidiary"
contained in Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"),
or any successor provision thereto, and all Non-REIT Subsidiaries, as defined in
The Rouse Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998, and their subsidiaries and affiliates, referred to
collectively as the "Company") and its stockholders by affording its directors,
officers and other employees, upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the
Company is largely dependent for the successful conduct of its business, with
the additional incentives arising from increased opportunity for equity
ownership in the Company.  Awards granted under the Plan may consist of options,
stock appreciation rights ("Rights") or stock awards.  Awards may be granted
separately or in tandem with any other type of award.

                                   ARTICLE I

                                 Administration

     (a)   The administrator of the Plan or any portion of the Plan (the
"Administrator") shall be the Board of Directors or such committee or committees
(referred to individually and in the aggregate as the "Committee") of not less
than one director as may be appointed by the Board of Directors from time to
time to administer all or certain portions of the Plan.  The Administrator of
the awards under the Plan initially shall be the Personnel Committee of the
Board of Directors (the "Personnel Committee"), provided, however, that the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, serving as a one-person Committee of the
Board of Directors, is authorized to make awards under Articles IV and V of the
Plan with respect to an aggregate of up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock (as
defined below) per year.

     (b)   Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Administrator
shall have the authority:

           (1)   to determine the individuals to whom and the time or times at
which awards under the Plan shall be made, the number of shares to be covered by
each award and all other terms and conditions of the awards;

           (2)   to interpret the Plan and to prescribe, amend and rescind rules
and regulations relating to it;

           (3)   to determine the terms and provisions of the respective
documents evidencing awards under the Plan (which need not be identical);

           (4)   except as provided in Article VII, to determine, for purposes
of the Plan, the fair market value (the "Fair Market Value") at any time of a
share of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock"), such determination of
Fair Market Value to be in accordance with such standard as the Administrator by
rule of general application or specific determination
<PAGE>

selects as reasonably representative of the fair market value of the Common
Stock, but in no case less than par value. The Fair Market Value may, but need
not, be equal to the last sale price, regular way, for Common Stock for the
business day immediately preceding the date the option is granted or the
determination otherwise is made, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange
composite tape or, if the Company's Common Stock is not traded on the New York
Stock Exchange, on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotation ("Nasdaq") National Market System, or the exchange on which the
Company's Common Stock is principally traded or, if no such sale price is
reported for such day, the first preceding business day for which a sale price
for Common Stock is reported;

           (5)   to accelerate the time in which such award may be exercised, to
waive, in whole or in part, any restriction with respect to such award,
including with respect to any option or Right issued under the Plan, any
restriction with respect to the exercisability of such award, and to amend or
modify any award in any manner not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan at
the time of such amendment or modification, provided that no such modification
or amendment may materially adversely affect the terms of any award without the
consent of the holder thereof;

          (6)    to offer to an award holder the opportunity, at such time and
on such terms and conditions as the Administrator prescribes, to surrender his
or her award to the Company for cancellation and to receive in consideration
therefore or in lieu thereof, other awards, cash, securities of the Company or a
combination thereof, as the Administrator determines; and

          (7)    to make all other determinations and to take all other actions
deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

     (c)   The Committee shall select one of its members as its chairman and
shall hold its meetings at such times and places as it deems advisable,
including by telephone. A majority of its members shall constitute a quorum. All
decisions of the Committee shall be made by a majority of those present, whether
in person or by telephone. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any
meeting of the Committee may be taken without a meeting if a written consent to
such action is signed by all members of the Committee and such written consent
is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Committee. The effective
date of any decision shall be the actual date of the decision, unless the
Committee establishes a different effective date, which may be either before or
after the actual date of the decision. The Committee may appoint a secretary
(who may, but need not be a member of the Committee), shall keep minutes of its
meetings, and shall make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its
business as it deems advisable, including changes to the rules and regulations
set forth above.

     (d)   No member of the Board of Directors or the Committee shall be liable
for any action or determination made under the Plan in good faith, nor for any
matter as to which the Company's charter limits the liability of directors.
Such members shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement in the
manner provided in the Company's charter or bylaws and under any directors' and
officers' liability insurance coverage that is in effect from time to time.

                                   ARTICLE II

                           Participation in the Plan

     (a)   Except as provided in Article VII, participation in the Plan shall be
limited to officers and other employees of the Company.

     (b)   Directors who are not employees of the Company shall be eligible to
participate in the Plan as provided in Article VII.

                                  ARTICLE III

                        Common Stock Subject to the Plan

     (a)   Subject to the provisions of Sections (b), (c) and (d) of this
Article, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under
the Plan shall be 7,000,000 shares. The total number of shares of Common Stock
subject to issuance under the Plan, and any balance remaining unoptioned or
unawarded, shall be reserved for those purposes during the life of the Plan.

     (b)   Except with respect to option grants under Article VII, the exercise
or purchase price for any award shall be payable (i) in U.S. dollars in cash or
by wire transfer, check, bank draft or money order payable to the Company, (ii)
in the discretion of the Administrator, through the delivery of Common Stock or
other securities issued by the Company with a Fair Market Value on the date the
award is exercised or purchased equal to the total amount due, (iii) by a
combination of the methods described in (i) and (ii), or (iv) through such other
means as may be acceptable to the Administrator. No shares shall be delivered
until full payment of any amount due has been made to the Company. A holder of
an award shall have none of the rights of a stockholder until the shares are
issued to him.

     (c)   Unless the Administrator expressly determines otherwise, if the
capital stock of the Company changes as a result of stock dividends, stock
splits, split-ups, recapitalization or the like, proportionate adjustments shall
automatically be made in the maximum number of shares of Common Stock authorized
for awards under Section (a) of this Article, the number and kind of shares
reserved for awards under the Plan, the number, kind and price of shares covered
by outstanding awards, and the minimum number of shares as to which options and
Rights shall be exercisable at any one time. Fractional shares resulting from
any such adjustment shall be eliminated. Unless the Administrator expressly
determines otherwise, any adjustments under this Section (c) shall be effective
on the effective date of the event giving rise to such adjustment.

     (d)   If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed into or
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities or
property (including cash) of the Company or of another corporation for any
reason, including by reason of reorganization, merger, sale or transfer of all
or substantially all of the Company's assets to another corporation, or exchange
of shares or consolidation, the Administrator shall make appropriate adjustments
in the number and kind of shares, other securities or property for which awards
may be granted under the Plan, including the number and kind of shares to be
covered by options granted

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

pursuant to Article VII. In addition, the Administrator shall make appropriate
adjustments in the number, kind and price of shares, other securities or
property as to which outstanding awards shall be exercisable or payable. If any
event giving rise to an adjustment involves an election afforded stockholders to
receive cash or some security or other property, then such adjustment shall be
made as if only cash were available to stockholders; the amount of cash used in
determining the appropriate adjustment shall be the amount of cash per share
provided by such election or such higher per share amount, if any, as the
Administrator determines to be the fair market value of the security or other
property available to stockholders pursuant to the election. Unless the
Administrator expressly determines otherwise, any adjustment or determination
made by the Administrator under this Section (d) shall be effective on the
effective date of the event giving rise to such adjustment or determination and
shall be conclusive when made by the Administrator.

     (e)   If for any reason an award or portion of an award expires or is
terminated, surrendered for any reason, canceled, forfeited or paid in cash, the
number of shares of Common Stock covered by the award or portion of the award
shall be restored to the number of shares available for awards under the Plan as
if the award or portion of the award had never been issued.  If the exercise
price or the amount of taxes due with respect to any award or portion of an
award is paid by the holder thereof in shares of Common Stock or by the
withholding of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with such
award, then the number of such shares received or withheld by the Company shall
be restored to the number of shares available for awards under the Plan.


                                   ARTICLE IV

                                    Options

     The Administrator in its discretion may grant options to any individual who
is eligible to participate in the Plan on such terms and conditions as it shall,
in its discretion, deem advisable. Options granted under this Article IV may be
either (i) options not intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code or (ii)
if permitted by the Code, incentive stock options intended to qualify under
Section 422 of the Code.  Unless the Administrator, in its sole discretion,
provides otherwise, the terms and conditions of option grants to employees shall
include the following:

     (a)   An option shall not be exercisable in whole or in part for at least
one month from the date of grant.

     (b)   The option exercise price per share shall be the Fair Market Value of
a share of Common Stock.

     (c)   An option shall vest in its entirety upon the employee's death,
disability, retirement from the Company after attaining age 62 (the normal
retirement age under the Company's Pension Plan) or termination of employment
under circumstances specified by the Administrator (which may include a
discharge without good cause, including a change of control of the Company).

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

     (d)   An option generally shall be exercisable for not more than 10 years
from the date of grant and shall be subject to earlier termination as provided
in the Plan or under the terms of the option grant as established by the
Administrator.  An option generally shall be exercisable for the full term
specified in the grant, except that an option shall be exercisable for only one
year following a voluntary termination of employment other than at normal
retirement or a termination of employment due to a discharge without good cause
other than as a result of a reduction in force.  If an employee's employment is
terminated for cause, all unexercised rights under his or her option or options
shall expire on the date of such termination.

     (e)   An option may be exercised from time to time during the option period
in whole or in part, but not as to less than 10 shares at any one time.  An
employee shall exercise an option in whole or in part by giving written notice
to the Secretary of the Company of his or her intention to purchase such shares,
specifying the number of shares and the date that the purchase is to occur.


                                   ARTICLE V

                           Stock Appreciation Rights

     The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may grant Rights to any employee
who is eligible to participate in the Plan.  A grant of Rights shall be
evidenced by documentation containing such terms and conditions as the
Administrator shall establish, including the following unless the Administrator,
in its sole discretion, provides otherwise:

     (a)   A Right may relate to a specific option or portion of an option and
may be granted to the option holder at any time prior to the exercise of such
option. The Administrator may fix such waiting periods and exercise dates for
Rights as it deems appropriate, provided that generally no Right shall be
exercisable prior to six months from the date of the grant of the Right or after
the expiration of any option to which it relates.

     (b)   A Right shall entitle the holder to receive a payment having an
aggregate value equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market
Value on the exercise date of one share of Common Stock over (B) the Fair Market
Value on the grant date of one share of Common Stock, times (ii) the number of
shares specified by the Right, or portion thereof, which is exercised. Payment
by the Company of the amount receivable upon any exercise of a Right may be made
by the delivery of Common Stock or cash, or any combination of Common Stock and
cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.  If upon
settlement of the exercise of a Right the holder is to receive payment in shares
of Common Stock, the number of shares shall be determined by dividing the amount
of such payment by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the
exercise date.  No fractional shares shall be used for such payment and the
Administrator shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of such
fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated.

     (c)   A Right may be exercised by giving written notice to the Secretary of
the Company.  As soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, the
Company shall, without transfer or issue tax, deliver to the person exercising
the Right a certificate or certificates for

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

such shares or, when so directed by the Administrator, make the required cash
payment, or both. The date the Company receives written notice of an exercise is
the exercise date.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                                  Stock Awards

     (a)   The Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may authorize
the issuance of Common Stock for past services rendered and at no cost, or for
such payment as the Administrator shall determine, to any employee who is
eligible to participate in the Plan. An award of Common Stock may be denominated
in shares of Common Stock or stock-equivalent units, and may be paid in Common
Stock, in cash, or in a combination of Common Stock and cash.

     (b)   Stock awards may be granted in lieu of a cash bonus or any other
compensation otherwise payable to an employee, either at the election of the
Administrator or, under rules approved by the Administrator, at the election of
an employee entitled to participate in the Plan.

     (c)   The Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall establish the terms
and conditions of all stock awards, including the employees who shall be granted
stock awards, the timing of each grant, the circumstances under which an award
may be forfeited, canceled or terminated, and whether Common Stock issued
pursuant to an award will be restricted or unrestricted.  The Administrator may
permit an individual to have the Company retain or accept a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock in connection with the receipt of a stock award, the
lapse of restrictions with respect to a stock award, the payment of a stock
award, the sale of Common Stock or the receipt or forgiveness of a loan relating
to a stock award, to satisfy the Company's tax withholding obligations or an
employee's tax liabilities with respect to such transactions.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                    Option Grants to Non-Employee Directors

     (a)   Each director who is not an employee of the Company ("Non-Employee
Director") who is first elected to the Board of Directors after the effective
date of this Plan shall be granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common
Stock on the date of his or her election.  In addition, each Non-Employee
Director shall be granted an option to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock on
each date on which he or she is re-elected as a Non-Employee Director.

     (b)   The Administrator shall establish the terms and conditions of each
option granted under this Article VII, including the following:

           (1)   Except as provided in clause (iii) below, an option shall not
be exercisable in whole or in part until one month after the date of the grant.

           (2)   The option exercise price per share shall be the Fair Market
Value of a share of Common Stock, which, solely for purposes of this Article
VII, shall be equal to the last

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

sale price, regular way, for Common Stock for the business day immediately
preceding the date such option is granted as reported on the New York Stock
Exchange composite tape or, if the Company's Common Stock is not traded on the
New York Stock Exchange, on the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation ("Nasdaq") National Market System, or the exchange on which
the Company's Common Stock is principally traded, or, if no sale price is
reported for such day, the first preceding business day for which a sale price
for Common Stock is reported.

           (3)   An option shall vest in its entirety upon the option holder's
death, disability or attainment of age 70 (the mandatory retirement age for
directors of the Company) or upon a change of control of the Company.

           (4)   An option generally shall be exercisable for not more than 10
years from the date of grant.

           (5)   When an option becomes exercisable, it may be exercised from
time to time during the option period in whole or in part, but not as to less
than 10 shares at any one time. An option holder shall exercise an option in
whole or in part by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company of his
or her intention to purchase such shares, specifying the number of shares and
the date that the purchase is to occur.

           (6)   The option exercise price shall be payable (i) in U.S. dollars
in cash or by wire transfer, check, bank draft or money order payable to the
Company, (ii) through the delivery of Common Stock or other securities issued by
the Company with a Fair Market Value, determined, to the extent possible, in a
manner consistent with Section (b)(2) above, equal to the total amount due, or
(iii) by a combination of the methods described in (i) and (ii).

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                          Amendment and Discontinuance

     The Administrator may amend, modify or discontinue the Plan or waive any of
its provisions, except that no such amendment, modification, waiver or
discontinuance shall revoke or alter the terms of any valid award previously
granted in accordance with the Plan without the consent of the award holder.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                               Loan Authorization

     The Administrator may authorize the Company to grant loans or to guarantee
loans from a third party to employees who are holders of awards in conjunction
with such awards, upon such terms as the Administrator, in its sole discretion,
deems appropriate.

                                 Miscellaneous

     (a)   The proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan shall
be used by the Company for its general corporate purposes.

     (b)   A holder of an award shall have none of the rights of a stockholder
until the shares are issued to him.


                                   ARTICLE XI

                        Effective Date and Term of Plan

     The effective date of the Plan shall be June 3, 1999.  The term of the Plan
shall be 10 years, and the Plan will terminate on June 3, 2009, unless sooner
terminated by the Administrator.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be executed by its
duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed effective
this 3rd day of June, 1999.

                                             July 12, 1999




Mr. Anthony W. Deering
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The Rouse Company
10275 Little Patuxent Parkway
Columbia, MD  21044

Dear Mr. Deering:

          As authorized by the Board of Directors, your special retention
contract arrangement, effective September 24, 1998 (the "Agreement"), is
modified as follows:

          1.  The second sentence of Section 4.3 of the Agreement is amended by
deleting the word "and" at the end of clause (f), replacing the period at the
end of clause (g) with a semicolon, and adding the following at the end:

          "(h)  the Company shall:

                (A)  contribute, within 30 calendar days after the Date of
                     Termination, under Section 3 of the SERP an amount equal to
                     the sum of (1) three times the maximum amount that could be
                     contributed by the Company under Section 3(a)(i) of the
                     SERP for a full calendar year based on the Executive's
                     Compensation (as defined in The Rouse Company Savings Plan)
                     computed for the 12 months immediately preceding such Date
                     of Termination, and (2) one times such maximum amount
                     multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
                     number of days transpired in the year of termination prior
                     to and including the Date of Termination and the
                     denominator of which is 365; and

                (B)  accrue an additional benefit under Section 2 of the SERP
                     equal to the amount by which the accrued benefit, as of the
                     Date of Termination, of the Executive would be increased if
                     the Executive were (1) credited, for all purposes under the
                     SERP and the Pension Plan (as defined in the SERP), with
                     three additional years of service credit based on the
                     Executive's Cash Compensation (as defined in the Pension
                     Plan) computed for the 12 months immediately preceding such
                     Date of Termination and (2) deemed, for all purposes under
                     the SERP and the Pension Plan, to be three years older in
                     age, provided, however, that in

                                       1

                     no event shall the Executive's total accrued benefit under
                     the SERP and the Pension Plan be less than the amount
                     provided under the Retirement Supplement referenced in
                     clause (e) above;

           (i)  to the extent such benefit is greater than the benefit provided
                in clause (f) above, for three years after the Executive's Date
                of Termination, or such longer period as may be provided by the
                terms of the appropriate plan, program, practice or policy, the
                Company shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the
                persons who from time to time thereafter are Dependents at least
                equal to those which would have been provided to them in
                accordance with the Welfare Benefit Plans if the Executive's
                employment had not been terminated or, if more favorable to the
                Executive and the Dependents, as in effect generally at any time
                thereafter. "Welfare Benefit Plans" are welfare benefit plans
                and programs generally applicable to full-time officers or
                employees of the Company on a date that is six months prior to
                the date a Change of Control occurred, including, without
                limitation, medical, disability insurance (group and
                individual), disability, leaves of absence, group life, split
                dollar life, accidental death and travel accident insurance
                plans and programs;

           (j)  all outstanding options and restricted shares granted to the
                Executive to purchase Common Shares under the Incentive Plans or
                under any other option or equity incentive plan shall, to the
                extent not vested in accordance with the terms of the applicable
                agreement, become immediately fully vested and, in the case of
                options, shall remain exercisable until the end of the original
                term of such option without regard to the Executive's
                termination of employment;

           (k)  the Company will continue to pay any premiums due on any
                individual insurance policies in effect on the life of the
                Executive for three years following the Date of Termination,
                after which time the Company shall distribute such policy to the
                Executive without requiring the Executive to repay any premiums
                paid by the Company;

           (l)  notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary with respect to
                the Gross-Up Payment or under any loan agreement between the
                Company and the Executive, any obligation of the Executive to
                the Company to repay the Gross-Up Payment or any loan or other
                indebtedness shall be forgiven;

           (m)  the Company will transfer any car made available to the
                Executive for his use by the Company to the Executive for no
                consideration, provided that the Executive pays any and all
                transfer taxes and agrees to be

                                       2

                 solely responsible for insurance and the cost of insurance
                 after the date of transfer; and

           (n)   to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company
                 shall timely pay or provide to the Executive all Other Benefits
                 to the extent accrued on the Date of Termination and not
                 specifically provided for in this sentence. "Other Benefits"
                 means any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or
                 provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive under
                 any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement
                 of the Company, including earned but unpaid and stock and
                 similar compensation, that is in effect on the date that is six
                 months prior to the date a Change of Control occurred."

           2.    The cross reference in clause (c) in Section 4.3 of the
Agreement to Section 4.2 is amended to refer to Section 4.1.

           3.    Clause (d) in the definition of "Good Reason" in Section 4.3 of
the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

          "(d)  the Company fails to comply with any of the provisions of this
          Agreement, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent
          failure that both (1) did not occur in bad faith and (2) was remedied
          by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof from the
          Executive."

          To acknowledge your agreement to the above amendments to the
Agreement, please sign and date the original of this letter.

                                             Sincerely yours,

                                             THE ROUSE COMPANY
