SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS ON REVERSE



[REVERSE]

CBL & ASSOCIATES PROPERTIES, INC.

The shares of Equity Stock represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer for the purpose of the Corporation’s maintenance of its status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”). Transfers in contravention of such restrictions may be void ab initio. Except as set forth in the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be further amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), or unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, no Person may (1) Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock in excess of 6% of the total value of the outstanding Equity Stock of the Corporation, determined as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation (computed taking into account all outstanding shares of Equity Stock and all shares of Equity Stock issuable under existing Options and Exchange Rights that have not been exercised or Deferred Stock that has not vested); or (2) Beneficially Own Equity Stock which would result in the Corporation being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code. Any acquisition of Equity Stock and continued holding of ownership of Equity Stock constitutes a continuous representation of compliance with the above limitations, and any Person who attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock in excess of the above limitations must immediately so notify the Corporation. If the restrictions above are violated, the shares of Equity Stock represented hereby will be transferred automatically and by operation of law to a Trust and shall be designated Shares-in-Trust. In addition, certain Beneficial Owners or Constructive Owners of Equity Stock must give written notice as to certain information on a semi-annual or annual basis. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer, will be sent without charge to each stockholder who so requests.

The IRS requires that we report the cost basis of certain shares acquired after January 1, 2011. If your shares were covered by the legislation and you have sold or transferred the shares and requested a specific cost basis calculation method, we have processed as requested. If you did not specify a cost basis calculation method, we have defaulted to the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Please visit our website or consult your tax advisor if you need additional information about cost basis.
If you do not keep in contact with us or do not have any activity in your account for the time periods specified by state unclaimed property law, your property could become subject to state unclaimed property laws and transferred to the appropriate state.
