PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

        The following summary contains basic information about this offering. It likely does not contain all the information that is important to you. For a more complete understanding of this offering, we encourage you to read this entire prospectus and the documents we refer to in this prospectus.

Simon Property Group, L.P.

        Simon Property Group, L.P. owns, operates, manages, leases, acquires, expands and develops real estate properties, primarily regional malls and community shopping centers.

        The core of our business originated with the shopping center businesses of Melvin Simon, Herbert Simon, David Simon and other members or associates of the Simon family. We have grown significantly by acquiring properties and merging with other real estate companies, including Simon Property's merger with DeBartolo Realty Corporation in 1996 and its combination with Corporate Property Investors, Inc. and its paired share affiliate in 1998.

        As of September 30, 2002, we owned or held an interest in 248 income-producing properties in the United States, consisting of 170 regional malls, 69 community shopping centers, four specialty retail centers and five office and mixed-use properties in 36 states. Mixed-use properties are properties that include a combination of retail, office space, and/or hotel components. We also own interests in eight retail properties in Europe and Canada, five parcels of land held for future development and indirectly-held interests in seven properties we acquired in May 2002 which are not material to our operations.

        We were formed on November 18, 1993 as a Delaware limited partnership. Simon Property is our sole general partner. Our principal executive offices are located at National City Center, 115 West Washington Street, Suite 15 East, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204, and our telephone number is (317) 636-1600. Our World Wide Web site address is www.shopsimon.com. The information in our web site is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

        If you want to find more information about us, please see the section entitled Available Information in this prospectus.

The Exchange Offer

        The following is a summary of the principal terms of our exchange offer. A more detailed description is contained in this prospectus under the heading "The Exchange Offer."

The Exchange Offer   We are offering to issue up to $500 million in principal amount of two series of exchange notes, registered under the Securities Act, in exchange for a like principal amount of two corresponding series of our unregistered notes. You may tender your unregistered notes by following the procedures described under the heading "The Exchange Offer."

 
 
The two series of unregistered notes are $150,000,000 principal amount of 5.375% notes due 2008 and $350,000,000 principal amount of 6.35% notes due 2012.

 
 
If you do not validly tender your unregistered notes and accept our exchange offer, you will continue to hold unregistered notes and will continue to be subject to the rights and limitations applicable to those notes, including existing transfer restrictions. After the exchange offer, we will have no further obligation to provide for the registration under the Securities Act of your unregistered notes, except in limited circumstances.

 
 
 
 
 

1


 
 
Based on an interpretation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the exchange notes issued to you pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for your unregistered notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you unless you are (1) a broker-dealer who purchases such exchange notes directly from us to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act or (2) a person that is our affiliate (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act; provided that you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business and are not participating, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the exchange notes. Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for unregistered notes, where the unregistered notes were acquired by the broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of its exchange notes. See "The Exchange Offer—Resale of the Exchange Notes."

Registration Rights
Agreement
 

We sold the unregistered notes pursuant to a purchase agreement, dated August 15, 2002, by and among us and Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Banc of America Securities LLC, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., UBS Warburg LLC, Commerzbank Capital Markets Corp. and Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein-Grantchester, Inc., who were the initial purchasers of the unregistered notes. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we and the initial purchasers entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of August 21, 2002, which grants the holders of the unregistered notes specific exchange and registration rights. The exchange offer is intended to satisfy those rights. See "The Exchange Offer—Termination of Specific Rights."

Expiration Date
 
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                        , 200  , unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer, in which case the term "expiration date" shall mean the latest date and time to which the exchange offer is extended. See "The Exchange Offer—Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments."

Conditions to the Exchange Offer
 

The exchange offer is subject to specific customary conditions that may be waived by us. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of unregistered notes being tendered for exchange. See "The Exchange Offer—Conditions."

Procedures for Tendering the Unregistered Notes
 

To accept our exchange offer, you must complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile in accordance with its instructions, and mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal, or facsimile, together with your unregistered notes and any other required documentation to JPMorgan Chase Bank, as exchange agent, at the address set forth herein. By executing the letter of transmittal, you will represent to and agree with us that, among other things:

 
 
(1)
 
the exchange notes to be acquired by you in connection with the exchange offer are being acquired by you in the ordinary course of your business;

 
 
(2)
 
if you are not a broker-dealer, you are not currently participating in, do not intend to participate in, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes;

 
 
(3)
 
if you are a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act or are participating in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing the exchange notes, you will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction of the exchange notes acquired by you and cannot rely on the position of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in no-action letters;

 
 
(4)
 
you understand that a secondary resale transaction described in clause (3) above and any resales of exchange notes obtained by you in exchange for unregistered notes acquired by you directly from us should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling securityholder information required by Item 507 or Item 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and

 
 
(5)
 
you are not our "affiliate" as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

 
 
If you are a broker-dealer that will receive exchange notes for your own account in exchange for unregistered notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you will be required to acknowledge in the letter of transmittal that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of your exchange notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, you will not be deemed to be admitting that you are an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. See "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering."

Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners
 

If your unregistered notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender your unregistered notes, you should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender your unregistered notes on your behalf. If you wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your unregistered notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the unregistered notes in your name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time and may not be able to be completed prior to the expiration date. See "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering."

Guaranteed Delivery
Procedures
 

If you wish to tender your unregistered notes but your unregistered notes are not immediately available or you cannot deliver your unregistered notes, the letter of transmittal or any other documentation required by the letter of transmittal to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date, then you must tender your unregistered notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures listed under "The Exchange Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures."

Acceptance of the Unregistered Notes and Delivery of the Exchange Notes
 

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the exchange offer, we will accept for exchange any and all unregistered notes that are properly tendered (and not withdrawn) prior to the expiration date. The exchange notes will be delivered on the earliest practicable date following the expiration date. See "The Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer."

Withdrawal Rights
 
Tenders of unregistered notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration date. See "The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal of Tenders."

Federal Income Tax Consequences
 

The exchange of unregistered notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See "Federal Income Tax Consequences."

No Cash Proceeds
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes.

Exchange Agent
 
JPMorgan Chase Bank is serving as the exchange agent.

The Exchange Notes

        The exchange offer applies to both series of unregistered notes. The form and terms of the respective exchange notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the corresponding series of unregistered notes, except that the exchange notes will not bear legends restricting their transfer and the holders of the exchange notes will not be entitled to any of the registration rights of holders of the unregistered notes under the registration rights agreement, which rights will terminate upon consummation of the exchange offer. The exchange notes will evidence the same indebtedness as the unregistered notes which they replace and will be issued under, and be entitled to the benefits of, the indenture dated as of November 26, 1996 and supplemented as of August 21, 2002. For a more complete description of the terms of the exchange notes, see "Description of Exchange Notes."

Issuer   Simon Property Group, L.P.

Exchange Notes
 
$150,000,000 principal amount of 5.375% notes due 2008 and $350,000,000 principal amount of 6.35% notes due 2012.

Maturity Date
 
The 2008 notes will mature on August 28, 2008 and the 2012 notes will mature on August 28, 2012.

Interest Payment Dates
 
August 28 and February 28 of each year, beginning February 28, 2003. The unregistered notes tendered for exchange will cease to accrue interest on the day immediately preceding the date of issuance of the exchange notes and the exchange notes will bear interest from their date of issuance. All of this interest on the exchange and unregistered notes will be paid on February 28, 2003.

Ranking
 
The exchange notes will be unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally with each other and with all of our other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. See "Description of Exchange Notes—General."

 
 
Assuming we had completed the offering of the exchange notes on September 30, 2002, the exchange notes:

 
 
•
would have been subordinated to $3.7 billion of total unaudited consolidated mortgage debt; and

 
 
•
would have been subordinated to $835 million in total unaudited unsecured debt of our subsidiaries to the extent of their assets.

Optional Redemption
 
We may redeem some or all of the exchange notes at any time at the redemption prices described under "Description of Exchange Notes—Optional Redemption."

Covenants
 
The indenture governing the exchange notes contains various covenants including covenants with respect to limitations on the incurrence of debt.

 
 
These covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Covenants."

 
 
 
 

5


Absence of a Public Market for the Exchange Notes
 

The exchange notes are new securities. The exchange notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. We cannot assure you that any active or liquid market will develop for the exchange notes. See "Plan of Distribution."

Risk Factors
 
See "Risk Factors" and the other information in this prospectus for a discussion of factors you should carefully consider before deciding to tender your unregistered notes in the exchange offer.

6


RISK FACTORS

THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF THE UNREGISTERED NOTES WILL CONTINUE IF THEY ARE NOT TENDERED OR ARE NOT ACCEPTED FOR EXCHANGE.

        We will issue the exchange notes in exchange for the unregistered notes timely received by the exchange agent and accompanied by a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other documentation. Therefore, if you want to tender your unregistered notes, you must properly complete all documentation and allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. Neither we nor the exchange agent is under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of the unregistered notes.

        If you do not tender your unregistered notes or they are not accepted by the exchange agent, your unregistered notes will continue to be subject to the existing restrictions upon transfer thereof even after the exchange offer and you will be required, in the absence of an applicable exemption, to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. See "The Exchange Offer." In addition, you will no longer be able to require us to register the unregistered notes under the Securities Act except in the limited circumstances provided under our registration rights agreement.

        To the extent that unregistered notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for the untendered and the tendered but unaccepted unregistered notes could be adversely affected due to the limited principal amount of the unregistered notes that is expected to remain outstanding following the exchange offer. A small outstanding amount of unregistered notes could result in less demand to purchase unregistered notes, and could, therefore, result in lower prices for the unregistered notes. Moreover, if you do not tender your unregistered notes, you will hold an investment subject to some restrictions on transfer not applicable to the exchange notes and, as a result, you may only be able to sell your unregistered notes at a price that is less than the price available to sellers of the freely tradable exchange notes.

THERE IS NO CURRENT PUBLIC MARKET FOR THE EXCHANGE NOTES.

        The exchange notes are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no trading market. We cannot guarantee:

        Liquidity of any market for the exchange notes and future trading prices of the exchange notes will depend on many factors, including:

        The initial purchasers have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the exchange notes, but they are not obligated to do so and may cease any market-making at any time without notice.

7


WE HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL DEBT BURDEN THAT COULD AFFECT OUR FUTURE OPERATIONS.

        At September 30, 2002, mortgages and other indebtedness for which we are liable totaled $9.5 billion, of which approximately $804 million matures during 2003. We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow from operations will be insufficient to meet required debt service. Our debt service costs generally will not be reduced when developments, such as the entry of new competitors or the loss of major tenants, could cause a reduction in income from a property. Should such events occur, our operations may be adversely affected. If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to pay that indebtedness, the property could be transferred to the mortgagee resulting in a loss of income and a decline in asset value.

RISING INTEREST RATES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR DEBT SERVICE COSTS.

        At September 30, 2002, approximately $1.5 billion of our total consolidated debt was subject to floating interest rates. In a rising interest rate environment, these debt service costs will increase. In addition, we may not be able to refinance maturing fixed-rate debt on as favorable terms. Increased debt service costs would adversely affect our cash flow.

OUR HEDGING ARRANGEMENTS COULD INCREASE OUR INTEREST RATE RISK.

        We use interest rate hedging arrangements to reduce the risk of interest rate volatility, but these arrangements may expose us to certain risks. Developing an effective interest rate risk strategy is complex and no strategy can completely insulate us from risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. There can be no assurance that our hedging activities will have the desired beneficial impact on our results of operations or financial condition. These hedging agreements may involve costs, such as transaction fees or breakage costs, if we terminate them.

WE FACE A WIDE RANGE OF COMPETITION THAT COULD AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE PROFITABLY.

        Shopping malls compete with other retail properties for tenants on the basis of the rent charged and location. The principal competition for existing shopping malls may come from future shopping malls that will be located in the same market areas and from mail order and electronic commerce. There is also considerable competition to acquire desirable real estate. The competition is provided by real estate investment trusts, insurance companies, private pension plans and private developers. Additionally, our credit rating and leverage will affect our competitive position in the public debt markets.

        We face competition from other shopping mall developers for the acquisition of prime development sites and for tenants and are subject to the risks of real estate development, including the lack of financing, construction delays, environmental requirements, budget overruns and lease-up. We compete with other real estate operations in seeking management, leasing revenues, land for development and properties for acquisition. In addition, retailers at our properties face increasing competition from discount shopping centers, outlet malls, catalogues, discount shopping clubs and electronic commerce. With respect to many of our properties, there are similar properties within the same market area. The existence of competitive properties affects our ability to lease space and the level of rents we can obtain. Renovations and expansions at competing malls could negatively affect our properties. Increased competition could adversely affect our revenues.

8


WE ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS THAT AFFECT THE GENERAL RETAIL ENVIRONMENT.

        Our concentration in the retail shopping center real estate market means that we are subject to factors that affect the retail environment generally, including the levels of consumer spending and the willingness of retailers to lease space in our shopping centers. These factors include changes in economic conditions, consumer confidence and terrorist activities.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RENEW LEASES AND RELET SPACE.

        We are subject to the risks that, upon expiration of leases for space in our properties, the premises may not be relet or the terms of reletting, including the cost of concessions to tenants, may be less favorable than current lease terms. If we are unable to relet all or a substantial portion of this space or if the rental rates upon such reletting are significantly lower than expected rates, our cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures would be adversely affected.

WE DEPEND ON OUR ANCHOR TENANTS TO ATTRACT SHOPPERS.

        Regional malls are typically anchored by well-known department stores and other tenants who generate shopping traffic at the mall. The value of our properties would be adversely affected if tenants or anchors failed to meet their contractual obligations, sought concessions in order to continue operations or ceased their operations. If the sales of stores operating in our properties were to decline significantly due to economic conditions, closing of anchors or for other reasons, tenants may be unable to pay their minimum rents or expense recovery charges. In the event of default by a tenant or anchor, we may experience delays and costs in enforcing our rights as landlord.

WE HAVE LIMITED CONTROL WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN PROPERTIES PARTIALLY OWNED OR MANAGED BY THIRD PARTIES.

        At September 30, 2002, we own interests in 82 income-producing properties with other parties. Of those, 15 properties are included in our consolidated financial statements. We account for the other 67 properties under the equity method. Although we have operational control, as general partner or property manager, of 58 of the 67 properties, we do not have sole control over all major decisions, such as selling or refinancing the properties without the consent of the other owners. These limitations may adversely affect our ability to sell these properties at the most advantageous time for us.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS ARE RELATIVELY ILLIQUID.

        Our real estate investment properties represent substantially all of our total consolidated assets. Real property investments are relatively illiquid. Our ability to vary our portfolio of properties in response to changes in economic and other conditions is limited. If we want to sell a property, there is no assurance that we will be able to dispose of it in the desired time period or that the sales price of a property will exceed our investment.

YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER FROM OUR FORMER AUDITORS FOR ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE RELATING TO OUR AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

        Arthur Andersen LLP audited the financial statements and schedule incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Arthur Andersen LLP has ceased offering public accounting services. Because of the circumstances currently affecting Arthur Andersen LLP, it is likely that such firm may not be able to satisfy any claims you may have arising from its provision of auditing services to us, including any claims that may arise out of Arthur Andersen LLP's audit of the financial statements that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

        On June 10, 2002, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing we had appointed Ernst & Young LLP to replace Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2002.

9


NO CASH PROCEEDS

        We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes and we have agreed to pay the expenses of the exchange offer. The unregistered notes surrendered in exchange for exchange notes will be cancelled.

        We used all of the approximately $494.9 million of net proceeds from the sale of the unregistered notes to repay the $100 million outstanding balance of the $600 million unsecured acquisition facility that we used to finance a portion of our acquisition of assets from Rodamco North America N.V. and reduce the outstanding balance of our $1.25 billion unsecured corporate credit facility by approximately $394.9 million. Affiliates of each of the initial purchasers of the unregistered notes and the exchange agent were lenders under these facilities and received their proportionate share of the repayments.

        For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, "earnings" have been computed by adding fixed charges, excluding capitalized interest, to income (loss) from continuing operations including income from minority interests which have fixed charges, and including distributed operating income from unconsolidated joint ventures instead of income from unconsolidated joint ventures. "Fixed charges" consist of interest costs, whether expensed or capitalized, the interest component of rental expenses and amortization of debt issuance costs.


THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose of the Exchange Offer

        We sold the two series of unregistered notes on August 21, 2002 to the initial purchasers pursuant to a purchase agreement. The initial purchasers subsequently sold the unregistered notes to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, in reliance on Rule 144A. As a condition to the sale of the unregistered notes, we and the initial purchasers entered into a registration rights agreement dated as of August 21, 2002. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we agreed that, unless the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or Securities and Exchange Commission policy, we would:

A copy of the registration rights agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement. The registration statement is intended to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement and the purchase agreement.

Resale of the Exchange Notes

        Based on interpretations by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the exchange notes issued under the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by each holder of exchange notes, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, so long as the holder:

        By tendering the unregistered notes in exchange for exchange notes, each holder will be required to represent to us that each of the above statements applies to that holder. If a holder of unregistered notes is participating in or intends to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes, or has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes to be acquired in this exchange offer, that holder may be deemed to have received restricted securities and may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any holder so deemed will have to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction.

        Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for unregistered notes may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of those exchange notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with offers to resell, resales and other transfers of exchange notes received in exchange for unregistered notes which were acquired by that broker-dealer as a result of market making or other trading activities. We have agreed that we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for a period of time not to exceed 180 days after the completion of the exchange offer for use in connection with any offer to resell, resale or other transfer. Please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled "Plan of Distribution."

Terms of the Exchange Offer

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept any and all unregistered notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration date. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of the appropriate series of exchange notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of the corresponding series of unregistered notes surrendered pursuant to the exchange offer. Unregistered notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $1,000.

        The form and terms of each series of the exchange notes are the same as the form and terms of the corresponding series of unregistered notes except that:

11

The exchange notes will evidence the same indebtedness as the unregistered notes they replace and will be issued under, and be entitled to the benefits of, the indenture. Each series of unregistered and exchange notes will be treated as a single class of debt securities under the indenture.

        As of the date of this prospectus, $150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the unregistered 5.375% notes due 2008 and $350,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the unregistered 6.35% notes due 2012 are outstanding. Only a registered holder of the unregistered notes, or such holder's legal representative or attorney-in-fact, as reflected on the records of the trustee under the indenture, may participate in the exchange offer. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of the unregistered notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.

        Holders of the unregistered notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights under the indenture in connection with the exchange offer. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement and the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

        We shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered unregistered notes when, as and if we have given oral or written notice thereof to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders of unregistered notes for the purposes of receiving the exchange notes from us.

        Holders who tender unregistered notes in the exchange offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of unregistered notes pursuant to the exchange offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than applicable taxes described below, in connection with the exchange offer. See "—Fees and Expenses."

Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments

        The term "expiration date" shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time on                            , 200    , unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer, in which case the term "expiration date" shall mean the latest date and time to which the exchange offer is extended.

        In order to extend the exchange offer, we will:

each prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

        We reserve the right, in our reasonable discretion:

Any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice to the registered holders. If the exchange offer is amended in a manner determined by us to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose the amendment by means of a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement that will

12


be distributed to the registered holders, and we will extend the exchange offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during that period.

Interest on the Exchange Notes

        The exchange notes due 2008 will bear interest at a rate equal to 5.375% per year. The exchange notes due 2012 will bear interest at a rate equal to 6.35% per year. Interest on the exchange notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each August 28 and February 28, commencing February 28, 2003. Holders of exchange notes will receive interest on February 28, 2003 from the date of initial issuance of the exchange notes, plus an amount equal to the accrued interest on the applicable series of unregistered notes from the date of issuance to the day preceding the date of exchange for exchange notes. Holders of unregistered notes that are accepted for exchange will be deemed to have waived the right to receive any interest accrued on the unregistered notes.

Procedures for Tendering

        To tender your unregistered notes in the exchange offer, you must complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile, have the signatures thereon guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal, and mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal or facsimile, or an agent's message together with the certificates representing the unregistered notes being tendered and any other required documents, to the exchange agent for receipt prior to the expiration date. Alternatively, you may either:

        The term "agent's message" means a message, transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the exchange agent and forming a part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from its participant tendering unregistered notes which are the subject of this book-entry confirmation that this participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, and that we may enforce this agreement against this participant.

        Unless withdrawn prior to the expiration date, your tender will constitute an agreement between you and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions provided in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

        THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF UNREGISTERED NOTES, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT IS AT YOUR ELECTION AND RISK. INSTEAD OF DELIVERY BY MAIL, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE AN OVERNIGHT OR HAND DELIVERY SERVICE. IF YOU CHOOSE DELIVERY BY MAIL, WE RECOMMEND REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, AND PROPERLY INSURED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. YOU SHOULD NOT SEND ANY LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR UNREGISTERED NOTES TO US. YOU MAY REQUEST YOUR RESPECTIVE BROKERS, DEALERS, COMMERCIAL BANKS, TRUST COMPANIES OR NOMINEES TO EFFECT THE ABOVE TRANSACTIONS ON YOUR BEHALF.

        If you are the beneficial owner of the unregistered notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender your unregistered notes, you should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender on your behalf. If you wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your unregistered notes, either make appropriate

13


arrangements to register ownership of the unregistered notes in your name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time.

        Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an eligible institution, as defined below, unless the unregistered notes are tendered:

        An eligible institution is:

        If the letter of transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the unregistered notes tendered, the signature must correspond with the name(s) written on the face of the unregistered notes without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If the letter of transmittal is signed by a participant in DTC, the signature must correspond with the name as it appears on the security position listing as the holder of the unregistered notes.

        If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any unregistered notes listed, the unregistered notes must be endorsed or accompanied by bond powers and a proxy that authorizes that person to tender the unregistered notes on behalf of the registered holder in satisfactory form to us as determined in our sole discretion, in each case as the name of the registered holder or holders appears on the unregistered notes.

        If the letter of transmittal or any unregistered notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, those persons should so indicate when signing. Unless waived by us, evidence satisfactory to us of their authority so to act must be submitted with the letter of transmittal.

        A tender will be deemed to have been received as of the date when the tendering holder's duly signed letter of transmittal accompanied by the unregistered notes tendered, or a timely confirmation received by a book-entry transfer of unregistered notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC with an agent's message, or a notice of guaranteed delivery from an eligible institution is received by the exchange agent. Issuances of exchange notes in exchange for unregistered notes tendered under a notice of guaranteed delivery by an eligible institution will be made only against delivery of the letter of transmittal, and any other required documents, and the tendered unregistered notes, or a timely confirmation received of a book-entry transfer of unregistered notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC with an agent's message, to the exchange agent.

        All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt, acceptance and withdrawal of tendered unregistered notes will be determined by us in our sole discretion. Our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all unregistered notes not properly tendered or any unregistered notes which, if accepted by us would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular unregistered notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless

14


waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of unregistered notes must be cured within the time we determine. Although we intend to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of unregistered notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person shall incur any liability for failure to give that notice. Tenders of unregistered notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived.

        While we have no present plan to do so, we reserve the right in our sole discretion to:

        By tendering, you will be making several representations to us including that:

        If you are a broker-dealer that will receive exchange notes for your own account in exchange for unregistered notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you will also be required to acknowledge in the letter of transmittal that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of those exchange notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, you will not be deemed to admit that you are an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Return of Unregistered Notes

        If any tendered unregistered notes are not accepted by us or the exchange agent for any reason, or if unregistered notes are withdrawn or are submitted for a greater principal amount than you desire to exchange, the unaccepted, withdrawn or non-exchanged unregistered notes will be returned to you without expense to you. In the case of unregistered notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at DTC pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures described below, those unregistered notes will be credited to the appropriate account maintained with DTC.

15


Book-Entry Transfer

        The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the unregistered notes at DTC for purposes of the exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus. Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC's systems may make book-entry delivery of unregistered notes by causing DTC to transfer the unregistered notes into the exchange agent's account in accordance with DTC's procedures for transfer.

        However, although delivery of unregistered notes may be effected through book-entry transfer, an agent's message or the letter of transmittal or facsimile, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, must, in any case, be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at the address set forth below under "—Exchange Agent" on or prior to the expiration date or pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO DTC DOES NOT CONSTITUTE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

        If you are a registered holder and wish to tender your unregistered notes and (a) your unregistered notes are not immediately available or (b) you cannot deliver your unregistered notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date, or (c) the procedures for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis and an agent's message delivered, you may effect a tender if:

Withdrawal of Tenders

        Except as otherwise provided herein, you may withdraw tenders of unregistered notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on the expiration date.

        To withdraw a tender of unregistered notes in the exchange offer, you must send a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent at its proper address prior to the expiration date. Any notice of withdrawal must:

16

All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of withdrawal notices will be determined by us in our sole discretion. Our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any unregistered notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the exchange offer and no exchange notes will be issued unless the unregistered notes so withdrawn are validly retendered. Properly withdrawn unregistered notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described above under "Procedures for Tendering" at any time prior to the expiration date.

Conditions

        Notwithstanding any other term of the exchange offer, we shall not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange the exchange notes for, any unregistered notes, and may terminate or amend the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before the acceptance of such unregistered notes, if the exchange offer violates applicable law, rules or regulations or an applicable interpretation of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        If we determine in our sole discretion that any of these conditions are not satisfied, we may:

If our waiver constitutes a material change to the exchange offer, we will promptly disclose our waiver by means of a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment that will be distributed to the registered holders of the unregistered notes, and we will extend the exchange offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the waiver and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during that period.

Termination of Specific Rights

        All rights under the registration rights agreement, including registration rights, of holders of the unregistered notes eligible to participate in the exchange offer will terminate upon consummation of the exchange offer except with respect to our continuing obligations to:

17

Exchange Agent

        We have appointed JPMorgan Chase Bank as exchange agent for the exchange offer. You should direct all questions and requests for assistance, requests for additional copies of this prospectus or of the letter of transmittal and requests for notice of guaranteed delivery to the exchange agent as follows:

Fees and Expenses

        We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders. The principal solicitation is being made by mail; however, additional solicitation may be made by telegraph, telephone or in person by our and our affiliates' officers and regular employees.

        We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. We will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the exchange offer.

        We will pay all cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer including registration fees, fees and expenses of the exchange agent and the trustee, accounting and legal fees and printing costs, among others.

        We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of unregistered notes pursuant to the exchange offer. If, however, transfer taxes are imposed for any reason other than the exchange of the unregistered notes pursuant to the exchange offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons, will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.

18


Your Failure to Participate in the Exchange Offer Will Have Adverse Consequences

        The unregistered notes that are not exchanged for the exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer will remain restricted securities. Accordingly, such unregistered notes may be resold by you only:

        In addition, you will no longer be able to obligate us to register the unregistered notes under the Securities Act except in the limited circumstances provided under our registration rights agreement. The restrictions on transfer of your unregistered notes arise because we issued the unregistered notes under exemptions from, or in transactions outside the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In addition, if you want to exchange your unregistered notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the exchange notes, you may be deemed to have received registered securities, and, if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. To the extent the unregistered notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market, if any, for the unregistered notes would be adversely affected. Please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors."

        You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decisions on whether to participate in the exchange offer.

Accounting Treatment

        For accounting purposes, we will recognize no gain or loss as a result of the exchange offer. The expenses of the exchange offer will be amortized over the term of the exchange notes.


DESCRIPTION OF EXCHANGE NOTES

General

        The following is a description of the terms of the 5.375% notes due 2008 and 6.35% notes due 2012 offered in exchange for our unregistered notes of the same maturities and interest rates. The form and terms of each series of the exchange notes are the same as the form and terms of the corresponding series of unregistered notes, except that the exchange notes have been registered under the Securities Act, will not bear legends restricting the transfer of the notes and will not be entitled to registration rights under the registration rights agreement. As used in this section, the terms "note," "notes," "2008 notes" and "2012 notes" refer to the exchange notes.

        The notes are two series of debt securities to be issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 26, 1996, between us and JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly, The Chase Manhattan Bank), as trustee (the "Trustee"), and supplemented on August 21, 2002 (the "Indenture"). The terms of the notes include those provisions contained in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by

19


reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. The notes are subject to all those terms, and holders of notes are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of the terms. The following summary of specified provisions of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture, including the definitions therein of some of the terms used below. Capitalized terms not defined where first used are defined below under the heading "Definitions."

        The notes will be our direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally with all our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding, and the notes will be effectively subordinated to the claims of mortgage lenders holding our secured indebtedness, as to the specific property securing each lender's mortgage and to claims of creditors of our subsidiaries to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2002, the total unaudited consolidated mortgage debt on our properties was approximately $3.7 billion and our subsidiaries had approximately $835 million in total unaudited unsecured debt. Subject to specified limitations in the Indenture and as described below under "Covenants," the Indenture permits us to incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness.

        The 2008 notes will mature on August 28, 2008 and the 2012 notes will mature on August 28, 2012 (each, a "Maturity Date"). The notes will not be subject to any sinking fund provisions and will not be convertible into or exchangeable for any of our equity interests. The notes will be issued only in fully registered book-entry form without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

        Except as described below under "Covenants—Limitations on Incurrence of Debt" and "—Merger, Consolidation or Sale," the Indenture does not contain any provisions that would limit our ability to incur indebtedness or that would afford holders of the notes protection in the event of:

Restrictions on the ownership and transfer of the shares of common stock of Simon Property designed to preserve its status as a REIT, however, may act to prevent or hinder a change of control. Simon Property and its management have no present intention of engaging in a transaction which would result in Simon Property or us being highly leveraged or that would result in a change of control.

Principal and Interest

        The 2008 notes will bear interest at 5.375% per year and the 2012 notes will bear interest at 6.35% per year, in each case, from August 21, 2002 or from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 28 and August 28, commencing February 28, 2003 (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), and on a Maturity Date, to the persons (the "Holders") in whose names the notes are registered in the Security Register at the close of business 15 calendar days prior to the payment date (each, a "Regular Record Date"), regardless of whether that day is a Business Day. Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

        The principal of each note payable on a Maturity Date will be paid against presentation and surrender of the note at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, located initially at JPMorgan Chase Bank, 450 West 33rd Street, 15th Floor, New York, New York 10001, in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

20

        If any Interest Payment Date or a Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

Further Issues

        We may, from time to time, without the consent of existing note holders, create and issue further notes having the same terms and conditions as either of the series of the notes in all respects, except for issue date, issue price and the first payment of interest thereon. Additional notes issued in this manner will be consolidated with and will form a single series with the previously outstanding series of notes.

Optional Redemption

        We may redeem the notes of either series at any time at our option, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of:

        If we have given notice of redemption as provided in the Indenture and have made funds available on the redemption date referred to in the notice for the redemption of any notes of either series called for redemption, the notes of that series will cease to bear interest on the date fixed for the redemption specified in the notice and the only right of the Holders of the notes of that series from and after the redemption date will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender of the notes in accordance with the notice.

        We will give notice of any optional redemption of any notes of either series to Holders of that series, at their addresses, as shown in the Security Register for the notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The notice of redemption will specify, among other items, the Redemption Price and principal amount of the notes held by the Holder to be redeemed.

        If less than all of the notes of either series are to be redeemed at our option, we will notify the Trustee at least 45 days prior to giving notice of redemption, or a shorter period as may be satisfactory to the Trustee, of the aggregate principal amount of notes of the series to be redeemed, if less than all of the notes of that series are to be redeemed, and their redemption date. The Trustee will select, in the manner it deems fair and appropriate, no less than 60 days prior to the date of redemption, the notes of that series to be redeemed in whole or in part.

        As used herein:

        "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption or accelerated payment of any notes, the excess, if any, of:

21

        "Reinvestment Rate" means the yield on Treasury securities at a constant maturity corresponding to the remaining life (as of the date of redemption or accelerated payment, and rounded to the nearest month) to stated maturity of the principal being redeemed (the "Treasury Yield"), plus 0.35%. For purposes hereof, the Treasury Yield will be equal to the arithmetic mean of the yields published in the Statistical Release under the heading "Week Ending" for "U.S. Government Securities—Treasury Constant Maturities" with a maturity equal to the remaining life; provided, that if no published maturity exactly corresponds to the remaining life, then the Treasury Yield will be interpolated or extrapolated on a straight-line basis from the arithmetic means of the yields for the next shortest and next longest published maturities. For purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount will be used. If the format or content of the Statistical Release changes in a manner that precludes determination of the Treasury Yield in the above manner, then the Treasury Yield will be determined in the manner that most closely approximates the above manner, as we reasonably determine.

        "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and that reports yields on actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities, or, if that statistical release is not published at the time of any required determination under the Indenture, then another reasonably comparable index which we will designate.

No Guarantee by Predecessor Operating Partnership

        The Indenture indicates that Simon Property Group, L.P., a predecessor operating partnership subsidiary of Simon Property, would guarantee the payment of any securities issued under the Indenture. Effective December 31, 1997, this predecessor operating partnership was merged into us. As a result, we acquired all of the assets and partnership interests it previously owned and its obligations as guarantor under the Indenture were terminated.

Covenants

        The Indenture contains various covenants, including the following:

        Limitations on Incurrence of Debt.    We will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt, other than Intercompany Debt, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of that Debt and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt is greater than 60% of the sum of:

        In addition, we will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Secured Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional Secured Debt, and the application of

22


the net proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt is greater than 55% of the sum of:

        In addition to the foregoing limitations on the incurrence of Debt, we will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if the ratio of Annualized EBITDA After Minority Interest to Interest Expense for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred would have been less than 1.75 to 1 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that:

        For purposes of the foregoing provisions regarding the limitation on the incurrence of Debt, Debt shall be deemed to be "incurred" by us or a Subsidiary whenever we or our Subsidiary creates, assumes, guarantees or otherwise becomes liable in respect of that Debt.

        Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets.    We will at all times maintain Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all of our outstanding Unsecured Debt.

        Merger, Consolidation or Sale.    We may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of our assets to, or merge with or into any other entity, provided that:

        Existence.    Except as described under "Merger, Consolidation or Sale," above, we will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect our existence, rights (by partnership agreement and statute) and franchises; provided, however, that we will not be required to preserve any right or franchise if we determine that its loss is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the notes.

        Maintenance of Properties.    We will cause all of our material properties used or useful in the conduct of our business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in our reasonable judgment may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; provided, however, that we and our Subsidiaries will not be prevented from selling or otherwise disposing of any properties for value in the ordinary course of business.

        Insurance.    We will, and will cause each of our Subsidiaries to, keep in force insurance policies on all our insurable properties issued by financially sound and reputable companies protecting against loss or damage at least equal to their then full insurable value (subject to reasonable deductibles determined by us).

        Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.    We will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same become delinquent:

provided, however, that we will not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid, or discharged any tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

        Provision of Financial Information.    Whether or not we are subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act, we will, to the extent permitted under the Securities Exchange Act, file with the SEC the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which we would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) if we were so subject (the "Financial Information"), those documents to be filed with the SEC on or prior to the respective dates (the "Required Filing Dates") by which we would have been required to file those documents if we were subject to Sections 13 or 15(d). We also will in any event

26


        Compliance with the covenants described in this prospectus and with respect to the notes generally may not be waived by us, or by the Trustee unless the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all outstanding notes consent to the waiver.

Modification of the Indenture

        Modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be made only with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Debt Securities (as defined in the Indenture) affected by the modification or amendment (voting as a single class); provided, however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the Holder of each Debt Security affected thereby:

        The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of a series of outstanding notes have the right to waive compliance by us with covenants relating to those notes in the Indenture.

        Modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be permitted to be made by us and the Trustee without the consent of any Holder of Debt Securities for any of the following purposes:

27

        The Indenture provides that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of a series of outstanding Debt Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver thereunder or whether a quorum is present at a meeting of holders of those Debt Securities, (1) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that shall be deemed to be Outstanding shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the maturity thereof, (2) the principal amount of a note denominated in a foreign currency that shall be deemed Outstanding shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent, determined on the issue date for that note, of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the U.S. dollar equivalent on the issue date of such note of the amount determined as provided in (1) above) of that note, (3) the principal amount of an Indexed Security that shall be deemed Outstanding shall be the principal face amount of such Indexed Security at original issuance, unless otherwise provided with respect to such Indexed Security pursuant to the Indenture, and (4) securities owned by the Partnership or any other obligor upon the securities or any affiliate of the Partnership or of such other obligor shall be disregarded.

        The Indenture contains provisions of convening meetings of the holders of Debt Securities of a series issuable, in whole or in part, as Bearer Securities. A meeting will be permitted to be called at any time by the Trustee, and also, upon request, by the Partnership or the holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, in any such case upon notice given as provided in the Indenture. Except for any consent that must be given by the holder of each Debt Security affected by certain modifications and amendments of the Indenture, any resolution presented at a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present will be permitted to be adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series; provided, however, that, except as referred to above, any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that may be made, given or taken by the holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of a series may be adopted at a meeting at which a quorum is present by the affirmative vote of the holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series. Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of holders of Debt Securities of any series duly held in accordance with the Indenture will be binding on all holders of Debt Securities of that series. The quorum at any meeting called to adopt a resolution, and at any reconvened meeting, will be persons holding or representing a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of a series; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other

28


action which may be made, given or taken by the holders of not less than a specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of a series, then with respect to such action (and only such action) the persons holding or representing such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series will constitute a quorum.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Indenture provides that if any action is to be taken at a meeting of Holders of Debt Securities of any series with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that the Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of all Outstanding Debt Securities affected thereby, or the Holders of that series and any other series:

Events of Default, Notice and Waiver

        The term "Event of Default," when used in the Indenture, means any one of the following events:

29

        If an Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the notes at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of the outstanding notes may declare the principal amount and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, and accrued interest on all the notes to be due and payable immediately by written notice thereof to us, and to the Trustee if given by the Holders; provided, that in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (6) above, acceleration is automatic. However, at any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the notes has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes may, by written notice to us and the Trustee, rescind and annul the declaration and its consequences if:

        The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the notes of any series may waive any past default with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default:

        The Trustee will be required to give notice to the Holders of the notes within 90 days of the occurrence of a default under the Indenture unless the default has been cured or waived; provided, however, that the Trustee may withhold notice to the Holders of the notes of any default, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on the notes, if and so long as specified responsible officers of the Trustee determine in good faith that the withholding of the notice is in the interest of the Holders.

        The Indenture provides that no Holder of notes may institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, except in the case of failure of the Trustee, for 60 days, to act after it has received a written request to institute proceedings in respect of an Event of Default from the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes, as well as an offer of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. This provision will not prevent, however, any Holder of notes from instituting suit for the payment of the principal of, and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the notes on the due date thereof.

        Subject to provisions in the Indenture relating to its duties in case of default, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders of notes then outstanding under the Indenture, unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction which is in conflict with any law or the Indenture, which may involve the Trustee in personal liability or which may be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of notes not joining therein and the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper not inconsistent with the direction given.

30


        Within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year, we will be required to deliver to the Trustee a certificate, signed by one of several of our specified officers, stating whether or not the officer has knowledge of any default under the Indenture and, if so, specifying each default and the nature and status thereof.

Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

        We are permitted under the Indenture to discharge specific obligations to the Holders of the notes that have not already been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee, in trust, funds in the currency in which the notes are payable in an amount sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness on the notes in respect of principal, and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest to the date of the deposit, if the notes have become due and payable, or to the stated Maturity Date or redemption date, as the case may be.

        The Indenture also provides that we may elect either:

in either case upon the irrevocable deposit by us with the Trustee, in trust, of an amount, in the currency in which the notes are payable at stated maturity, or Government Obligations, or both, applicable to the notes which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient without reinvestment to pay the principal of, and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the notes on the scheduled due dates therefor.

        A trust may only be established if, among other things, we have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel, as specified in the Indenture, to the effect that the Holders of the notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred, and the opinion of counsel, in the case of defeasance, will be required to refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable federal income tax law occurring after the date of the Indenture.

        "Government Obligations" means securities that are:

which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and will also include a depositary receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any Government Obligation or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any Government Obligation held by the custodian for the account of the holder of a depositary receipt, provided that, except as required by law, the custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of the depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the

31


Government Obligation or the specific payment of interest on or principal of the Government Obligation evidenced by the depositary receipt.

        If after we have deposited funds or Government Obligations to effect defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to any series of notes (1) the holder of a note of such series is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to the Indenture or the terms of that note to receive payment in a currency, currency unit or composite currency other than that in which such deposit has been made in respect of such note or (2) a Conversion Event (as defined below) occurs in respect of the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which such deposit has been made, the indebtedness represented by that note shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on that note as they become due out of the proceeds yielded by converting the amount so deposited in respect of that note into a currency, currency unit or composite currency in which that note becomes payable as a result of such election or such Conversion Event based on the applicable market exchange rate. "Conversion Event" means the cessation of use of (a) a currency, currency unit or composite currency both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for the settlement of transactions by a central bank or other public institutions of or within the international banking community, (b) the ECU both within the European Monetary System and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the European Community or (c) any currency unit (or composite currency) other than the ECU for the purposes for which it was established. All payments of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on any note that is payable in a foreign currency that ceases to be used by its government of issuance shall be made in U.S. dollars.

        If we effect covenant defeasance with respect to any notes and these notes are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Event of Default described in clause (4) under "—Events of Default, Notice and Waiver" with respect to Sections 1006 to 1010, inclusive, of the Indenture, which sections would no longer be applicable to the notes as a result of the covenant defeasance, or described in clause (7) under "—Events of Default" with respect to any other covenant as to which there has been covenant defeasance, the amount in the currency in which the notes are payable, and Government Obligations on deposit with the Trustee, will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the notes at the time of their stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the notes at the time of the acceleration resulting from the Default. We would remain liable, however, to make payment of the amounts due at the time of acceleration.

Book Entry; Delivery and Form

        The Global Notes.    Each series of notes issued in the exchange offer will initially be represented by a single, permanent global note in definitive, fully registered form (the "Global Notes"). Upon the issuance of the Global Notes, DTC or its custodian will credit, on its internal system, the respective principal amount of the individual beneficial interests represented by the Global Note to the accounts of persons who have accounts with such depositary. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC ("participants") or persons who hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants).

        So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered holder of a Global Note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture and under the notes represented thereby. No beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with the procedures provided for under the applicable procedures of DTC.

32


        Payments of the principal of, and interest on, the notes represented by the Global Notes will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof. None of us, the Trustee or any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

        We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of notes represented by a Global Note will credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such Global Note as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payment by participants to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the name of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants. Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same-day funds. Transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream Banking will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

        Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream Banking participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream Banking participant during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear or Clearstream Banking) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream Banking as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream Banking participant to a participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream Banking cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream Banking following DTC's settlement date.

        DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes (including the presentation of notes for exchange as described below) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account an interest in the Global Notes is credited and only in respect of such series and such portion of the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction.

        DTC has advised us of the following information regarding DTC. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act. DTC holds securities of its participants and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC's participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers and dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream Banking have agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream Banking, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform these procedures, and these procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither we nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream Banking or their respective participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

33

        Certificated Notes.    Global Notes may not be transferred as or exchanged for physical certificates in registered form without coupons (the "Certificated Notes"), except (1) if DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as depositary with respect to the Global Notes or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act and, in either case, we do not appoint a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Securities Exchange Act within 120 days, (2) at any time if we in our sole discretion determine that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Certificated Notes or (3) if the owner of an interest in the Global Notes requests such Certificated Notes, following an Event of Default under the Indenture, in a writing delivered through the depositary to the Trustee.

        The information in this section concerning DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream Banking and their book-entry systems has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for its accuracy.

Governing Law

        The Indenture is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, and once issued the exchange notes will be as well.

POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES

        The following is a discussion of our policies with respect to investments, financing, conflicts of interest and certain other activities. Our policies with respect to these activities are determined by the Board of Directors of Simon Property, in its capacity as our general partner, and may be amended or revised from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors of Simon Property without a vote of holders of any of our securities or any securities of Simon Property.

Investment Policies

        Simon Property conducts all of its investment activities, except for one property that it owns directly, through us and will continue to do so for as long as we exist. Our primary business objectives are to increase Funds From Operations per unit and the value of our properties and operations. We intend to achieve these objectives by:

We cannot assure you, however, that we will achieve our business objectives.

        It is our policy to develop and acquire properties primarily to generate current income and long-term appreciation in value. We do not have a policy limiting the amount or percentage of assets that may be invested in any particular property or type of property or in any geographic area. We may purchase or lease properties for long-term investment, develop or redevelop our properties or sell our properties, in whole or in part, when circumstances warrant. We currently participate and may continue to participate with other entities in property ownership, through joint ventures or other types of co-ownership. These equity investments may be subject to existing mortgage financing and other indebtedness that have priority over our equity interest.

34


        While we emphasize equity real estate investments, we may, in our discretion, invest in mortgages and other real estate interests consistent with Simon Property's qualification as a REIT. Mortgages in which we invest may or may not be insured by a governmental agency. We do not intend to invest to a significant extent in mortgages or deeds of trust. We may invest in participating or convertible mortgages, however, if we conclude that we may benefit from the cash flow or any appreciation in the value of the property.

        We may also invest in securities of other entities engaged in real estate activities or securities of other issuers. Any such investments would be subject to the percentage ownership limitations and gross income tests necessary for Simon Property's REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code. We may invest in the securities of other issuers in connection with acquisitions of indirect interests in real estate. Such an investment would normally be in the form of general or limited partnership interests in special purpose partnerships that own one or more properties. We may in the future acquire all or substantially all of the securities or assets of other REITs, management companies or similar entities where such investments would be consistent with our investment policies. We do not intend to invest in securities of other issuers for the purpose of exercising control, other than certain wholly-owned subsidiaries and to acquire interests in real estate. We do not intend that our investments in securities will require us or Simon Property to register as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We intend to divest securities before any such registration would be required.

Financing Policies

        The indenture described in this prospectus and certain other agreements relating to our indebtedness restrict the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Covenants" for a description of these limitations imposed by the indenture.

        To the extent that the Simon Property Board of Directors determines to seek additional capital, Simon Property may raise such capital through equity offerings, debt financing, retention of cash flows or a combination of these methods. We anticipate that any additional borrowings would be made through us. Simon Property might, however, incur borrowings that would be reloaned to us. Borrowings may be in the form of bank borrowings, publicly and privately placed debt instruments, or purchase money obligations to the sellers of properties. Any of such indebtedness may be unsecured or may be secured by any or all of our assets or the assets of Simon Property, SPG Realty and any existing or new property-owning partnership. Any such indebtedness may also have full or limited recourse to all or any portion of the assets of any of the foregoing. Although we may borrow to fund the payment of distributions, we currently have no intention or expectation that we will do so.

        We may seek to obtain unsecured or secured lines of credit. We also may determine to issue debt securities. We also may sell or securitize our lease receivables. The proceeds from any borrowings may be used for the following:

        We may also may determine to finance acquisitions through the following:

35

        The ability to offer units of limited partnership interest to transferors may result in beneficial tax treatment for the transferors. This is because the exchange of units for properties may defer the recognition of gain for tax purposes by the transferor. It may also be an advantage for us and Simon Property since certain investors may be limited in the number of shares of Simon Property capital stock that they may purchase.

        To the extent that the Simon Property Board of Directors determines to obtain additional debt financing, we intend to do so generally through mortgages on properties and drawings against revolving lines of credit in a manner consistent with our debt capitalization policy. We may do this directly or through an entity owned or controlled by us. The mortgages may be recourse, non-recourse or cross-collateralized. We do not have a policy limiting the number or amount of mortgages that may be placed on any particular property. Mortgage financing instruments, however, usually limit additional indebtedness on such properties.

Conflicts of Interest Policies

        We and Simon Property maintain policies and have entered into agreements designed to reduce or eliminate potential conflicts of interest. At least a majority of the members of Simon Property's Board of Directors must be independent directors. Any transaction between Simon Property and the Simons or the DeBartolos, including property acquisitions, service and property management agreements and retail space leases, must be approved by a majority of Simon Property's independent directors. M.S. Management Associates, Inc. has agreed with Simon Property that if in the future applicable tax law and regulations permit Simon Property to conduct any or all of the activities that it now conducts, it will not compete with Simon Property with respect to new or renewal business of this nature.

        The sale by us of any property that we own may have an adverse tax impact on the Simons or the DeBartolos and our other limited partners. Therefore, any such sale may involve conflicts of interest that could have an adverse impact on the stockholders of Simon Property. A majority of the members of Simon Property's Board of Directors, including at least six independent directors, may authorize and require us to sell any property we own in accordance with the terms of our partnership agreement. Any such sale is subject to applicable agreements with third parties. Noncompetition agreements executed by each of Melvin Simon, Herbert Simon and David Simon contain covenants limiting the ability of the Simons to participate in certain shopping center activities in North America.

Policies With Respect To Certain Other Activities

        We do not intend to make investments other than as previously described. We intend to make investments in such a manner as to be consistent with the REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to Simon Property, unless the Simon Property Board of Directors determines that it is no longer in Simon Property's best interests to qualify as a REIT. The Board of Directors may make such a determination because of changing circumstances or changes in the REIT requirements. We have authority to offer units of limited partnership interest or other securities in exchange for property. We also have authority to repurchase or otherwise reacquire our units or any other securities. We may engage in such activities in the future. Simon Property may in the future issue shares of its common stock to holders of our units of limited partnership interest upon exercise of such holders' rights under our partnership agreement. We have not made loans to other entities or persons other than Simon Property, SPG Realty Consultants, L.P., M.S. Management Associates, Inc. and certain officers of

36


Simon Property to pay income taxes due upon the vesting of restricted stock. We may in the future make loans to joint ventures in which we participate. We do not intend to engage in the following:

Certain Activities

        During the past three years, we have:

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

        The following discussion is based on the opinion of Baker & Daniels, our tax counsel, as to the material United States federal income tax consequences expected to result to you if you exchange your unregistered notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer. This discussion is based on:

all as of the date of this prospectus. In addition, the administrative interpretations and practices of the IRS include its practices and policies as expressed in private letter rulings that are not binding on the IRS, except with respect to the particular taxpayers who requested and received those rulings. Future legislation, treasury regulations, administrative interpretations and practices and/or court decisions may adversely affect the tax considerations contained in this discussion. Any change could apply retroactively to transactions preceding the date of the change. The tax considerations contained in this discussion may be challenged by the IRS, and we have not requested, and do not plan to request, any rulings from the IRS concerning the tax treatment of the exchange of unregistered notes for the exchange notes.

        The tax treatment of a holder of notes may vary depending upon such holder's particular situation. Certain holders (including, but not limited to, certain financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers, foreign corporations, nonresident alien individuals and persons holding notes as part of a "straddle," "hedge" or "conversion transaction") may be subject to special rules not discussed below. This discussion is limited to holders who will hold the notes as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Initial Revenue Code. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAX LAWS.

        As used herein, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of notes that is for United States federal income tax purposes (1) a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States person

38


under applicable Treasury regulations), (3) an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, (4) a trust, if both (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and (b) one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (5) any other person whose income or gain in respect of the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the extent provided in Treasury regulations, certain trusts that are beneficial owners of notes and in existence on August 20, 1996, and treated as United States persons prior to such date, that elect to continue to be treated as United States persons also will be a U.S. Holder. As used herein, the term "Non-U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of notes that is not a U.S. Holder.

Exchange Offer

        The exchange of unregistered notes for exchange notes will be treated as a "non-event" for federal income tax purposes, because the exchange notes will not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the unregistered notes. A U.S. Holder will have the same basis and holding period in the exchange notes that it had in the notes immediately prior to the exchange.

Sale, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition

        In general, a U.S. Holder of a note will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, retirement or other taxable disposition of that note in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the amount of cash and the fair market value of property received in exchange therefor (except to the extent attributable to the payment of accrued interest, which generally will be taxable to a holder as ordinary income) and (2) the holder's adjusted tax basis in that note. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in a note generally will be equal to the price paid for that note. Net capital gain (i.e. generally, capital gain in excess of capital loss) recognized by an individual from the sale of a capital asset that has been held for more than 12 months will be subject to tax at a rate not to exceed 20%, and net capital gain from the sale of an asset held for 12 months or less will be subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates. In addition, capital gain recognized by a corporate taxpayer will continue to be subject to tax at the ordinary income tax rates applicable to corporations.

Non-U.S. Holders

        A Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to United States federal income taxes on payments of principal, premium (if any) or interest (including original issue discount, if any) on a note, unless that Non-U.S. Holder is a direct or indirect 10% or greater partner of the Partnership, a controlled foreign corporation related to the Partnership or a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify for the exemption from taxation, the last United States payor in the chain of payment prior to payment to a Non-U.S. Holder (the "Withholding Agent") must have received, before payment, a statement that (1) is signed by the beneficial owner of the note under penalties of perjury, (2) certifies that such owner is not a U.S. Holder and (3) provides the name and address of the beneficial owner. The statement may be made on an IRS Form W-8BEN or a substantially similar form, and the beneficial owner must inform the Withholding Agent of any change in the information on the statement within 30 days of such change. If a note is held through a securities clearing organization or certain other financial institutions the beneficial owner must provide to such organization or institution an IRS Form W-8BEN and the organization or institution must provide a certificate stating that such organization or institution has been provided with a valid IRS Form W-8BEN to the Withholding Agent. The Treasury Department is considering implementation of further certification requirements aimed at determining whether the issuer of a debt obligation is related to holders thereof.

39


        In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to United States federal income taxes on any amount which constitutes gain upon retirement or disposition of a note, provided the gain is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by the Non-U.S. Holder. Certain other exceptions may be applicable and a Non-U.S. Holder should consult its tax advisor in this regard. The note will not be includable in the estate of a Non-U.S. Holder unless the individual is a direct or indirect 10% or greater partner of the Partnership or, at the time of such individual's death, payments in respect of the note would have been effectively connected with the conduct by such individual of a trade or business in the United States.

Backup Withholding

        Backup withholding of United States federal income tax may apply to payments made in respect of a note to registered owners who are not "exempt recipients" and who fail to provide certain identifying information (such as the registered owner's taxpayer identification number) on an IRS Form W-8BEN, in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder, or an IRS Form W-9, in the case of a U.S. Holder. Compliance with the identification procedures described in the preceding section would establish an exemption from backup withholding for Non-U.S. Holders.

        In addition, upon the sale of a note to (or through) a broker, the broker must withhold the appropriate percentage of the entire purchase price, unless the seller provides, in the required manner, certain identifying information and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder, certifies that such seller is a Non-U.S. Holder (and certain other conditions are met). Such a sale must also be reported by the broker to the IRS, unless the seller certifies its Non-U.S. Holder status (and certain conditions are met). Certification of the registered owner's Non-U.S. Holder status would be made normally on an IRS Form W-8BEN under penalties of perjury, although in certain cases it may be possible to submit other documentary evidence.

        Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a beneficial owner would be allowed as a refund or a credit against such beneficial owner's United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.


STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        In addition to the United States federal income tax consequences described in "Federal Income Tax Consequences," potential investors should consider the state and local income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the notes. State and local income tax law may differ substantially from the corresponding federal law, and this discussion does not purport to describe any aspect of the income tax laws of any state or locality. Therefore, you should consult your own tax advisors with respect to the various state and local tax consequences of an investment in the notes.


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale, offer to resell or other transfers of its exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with the resale of exchange notes received in exchange for unregistered notes where the unregistered notes were acquired as a result of market- making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that for a period of up to 180 days after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer that requests such document in the letter of transmittal for use in connection with any resale.

        We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of exchange notes by broker-dealers or any other persons. Exchange notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange

40


offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any exchange notes. Any broker-dealer that resells exchange notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of exchange notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of exchange notes and any commissions or concessions received by any persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to our performance of, or compliance with, the registration rights agreement and will indemnify the holders of unregistered notes, including any broker-dealers, and specific parties related to such holders, against specific liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.


EXPERTS

        The audited financial statements and schedules incorporated by reference in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, as indicated in their reports with respect thereto and are incorporated by reference herein, in reliance upon the authority of said firm as experts in giving such reports.

        Because we have not been able to obtain, after reasonable efforts, the written consent of Arthur Andersen LLP to the incorporation by reference into this prospectus of their reports included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, we have dispensed with the filing of their consent in reliance on Rule 437a under the Securities Act. Because Arthur Andersen LLP has not consented to the inclusion of their reports in this prospectus, you may not be able to recover against Arthur Andersen LLP under Section 11 of the Securities Act for any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen LLP or any omissions to state a material fact required to be stated in those financial statements.


LEGAL MATTERS

        The validity of the exchange notes offered in this prospectus and specified legal matters in connection with this offering will be passed upon for us by Baker & Daniels, Indianapolis, Indiana. The description of United States federal income tax consequences contained in "Federal Income Tax Consequences" is based upon the opinion of Baker & Daniels.

PART II


Information Not Required in Prospectus

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        The Registrant's general partner's officers and directors are indemnified under Delaware law, the Registrant's Partnership Agreement and the Charter of the general partner against certain liabilities. The Partnership Agreement provides for indemnification of the general partner and its officers and directors to the same extent indemnification is provided to officers and directors of Simon Property Group, Inc. ("Simon Property") in its Charter, and limits the liability of such general partner and its officers and directors to the Registrant and its partners to the same extent liability of officers and directors of Simon Property to Simon Property and its stockholders is limited under Simon Property's Charter. In addition, Simon Property's officers and directors are indemnified under Delaware law and Simon Property's Charter.

        The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") generally permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers, among others, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually or reasonably incurred by them in the defense or settlement of third-party actions or action by or in right of a corporation, and for judgments in third party actions, provided there is a determination by directors who were not parties to the action, or if directed by such directors, by independent legal counsel or by majority vote of a quorum of stockholders, that the person seeking indemnification acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the interests of the corporation, and in a criminal proceeding, that the person had no reason to believe his or her conduct to be unlawful. Without court approval, however, no indemnification may be made in respect of any action by or in right of the corporation in which such person is adjudged liable. The DGCL states that the indemnification provided by statute shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or interested directors or otherwise. In addition, the liability of officers may not be eliminated or limited under Delaware law.

        Simon Property's Charter contains a provision limiting the liability of directors and officers to Simon Property and its stockholders to the fullest extent permitted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Simon Property's Charter provides that the directors will not be personally liable to the corporation or to its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that such provision will not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for (1) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation and its stockholders; (2) acts or omissions not in good faith; (3) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; or (4) any matter in respect of which such director would be liable under Section 174 of the DGCL. The personal liability of a director for violation of the federal securities laws is not limited or otherwise affected. In addition, these provisions do not affect the ability of stockholders to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts with respect to a transaction involving gross negligence on the part of a director. No amendment of Simon Property's Charter shall limit or eliminate the right to indemnification provided with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. Simon Property's By-Laws contain provisions which implement the indemnification provisions of Simon Property's Charter.

        Simon Property has entered into indemnification agreements with each of Simon Property's directors and officers. The indemnification agreements require, among other things, that Simon Property indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, and advance to the directors and officers all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted. Simon Property also must indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by directors and officers seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements, and cover each director and officer if Simon Property obtains directors' and officers' liability insurance.

II-1


        In addition, Simon Property has a directors' and officers' liability and company reimbursement policy that insures against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, subject to applicable retentions.


Item 21. Exhibits

        The list of exhibits is incorporated by reference to the Exhibit Index on page E-1.


Item 22. Undertakings.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of this Registration Statement through the date of responding to the request.

        The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in this Registration Statement when it became effective.

            Incorporated

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Simon Property Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating
Partnership"), confirms its agreement with each of the Initial Purchasers named
in SCHEDULE 1 hereto (collectively, the "Initial Purchasers," which term shall
also include any initial purchaser substituted as hereinafter provided in
Section 11 hereof), for whom Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner
& Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch") and Banc of America Securities LLC are
acting as representatives (in such capacity, the "Representatives"), with
respect to the issue and sale by the Operating Partnership and the purchase by
the Initial Purchasers, acting severally and not jointly, of the respective
principal amounts set forth in said SCHEDULE 1 of $150,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of its 5.375% senior unsecured notes due 2008 (the "2008
Notes") and $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its $6.35% senior
unsecured notes due 2012 (the "2012 Notes" and, together with the 2008 Notes,
the "Notes").

     The Notes shall be issued under an indenture, dated as of November 26, 1996
(the "Original Indenture"), between the Operating Partnership and JPMorgan Chase
Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as trustee (the "Trustee").
The title, aggregate principal amount, rank, interest rate or formula and timing
of payments thereof, stated maturity date, redemption and/or repayment
provisions, sinking fund requirements and any other variable terms of the Notes
shall be established by or pursuant to a tenth supplemental indenture to the
Original Indenture (as so supplemented, and as the same may be amended or
further supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture") to be entered into
between the Operating Partnership and the Trustee on or prior to the Closing
Time (as defined in Section 2(b)). Notes issued in book-entry form shall be
issued to Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") pursuant
to a letter agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Time (the "DTC Agreement"),
among the Operating Partnership, the Trustee and DTC.



     The Operating Partnership understands that the Initial Purchasers propose
to make an offering of the Notes on the terms and in the manner set forth herein
and agrees that the Initial Purchasers may resell, subject to the conditions set
forth herein, all or a portion of the Notes to purchasers ("Subsequent
Purchasers") at any time after the date of this Agreement. The Notes are to be
offered and sold through the Initial Purchasers without being registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), in reliance upon
exemptions therefrom. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture,
investors that acquire Notes may only resell or otherwise transfer such Notes if
such Notes are hereafter registered under the 1933 Act or if an exemption from
the registration requirements of the 1933 Act is available (including the
exemption afforded by Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") or Regulation S ("Regulation S")
of the rules and regulations promulgated under the 1933 Act by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")).

     The Operating Partnership has prepared and delivered to each Initial
Purchaser copies of an Offering Memorandum dated August 15, 2002 (the "Offering
Memorandum") for use by such Initial Purchaser in connection with its
solicitation of purchases of, or offering of, the Notes. "Offering Memorandum"
means, with respect to any date or time referred to in this Agreement, the most
recent offering memorandum, as may be amended or supplemented, including
exhibits thereto and any documents incorporated therein by reference, which has
been prepared and delivered by the Operating Partnership to the Initial
Purchasers in connection with their solicitation of purchases of, or offering
of, the Notes. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings given to those terms in the Offering Memorandum.

     The Initial Purchasers and their direct and indirect transferees shall be
entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, to be dated as of
the Closing Time and to be substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT
A (the "Registration Rights Agreement").

     All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and
other information which is "contained," "included" or "stated" in the Offering
Memorandum (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and
include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which
are incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum, and all references in
this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum shall be
deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), which is incorporated by
reference in the Offering Memorandum.

     The term "subsidiary" means a corporation, partnership or other entity, a
majority of the outstanding voting stock, partnership interests or other equity
interests, as the case may be, of which is owned or controlled, directly or
indirectly, by the Operating Partnership and/or Simon Property Group, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and the general partner of the Operating Partnership (the
"Company") or by one or more other subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership
and/or the Company.

     SECTION 1.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

     (a)    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The
Operating Partnership represents and warrants to each Initial Purchaser, as of
the date hereof and as of the Closing Time (as defined below) (in each case, a
"Representation Date"), and agrees with each Initial Purchaser, as follows:

            (1)    SIMILAR OFFERINGS. None of the Company, the Operating
     Partnership, nor any of their affiliates, as such term is defined in Rule
     501(b) under the 1933 Act (each, an "Affiliate"), has, directly or
     indirectly, solicited any offer to buy, sold or offered to sell or
     otherwise negotiated in respect of, or shall solicit any offer to buy or
     offer to sell or otherwise negotiate in respect of, in the United States or
     to any United States citizen or resident, any security which is or

                                        2


     would be integrated with the sale of the Notes in a manner that would
     require the Notes to be registered under the 1933 Act.

            (2)    OFFERING MEMORANDUM. The Offering Memorandum does not, and at
     the Closing Time shall not, include an untrue statement of a material fact
     or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
     therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
     misleading; PROVIDED, that this representation, warranty and agreement
     shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Offering Memorandum
     made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the
     Operating Partnership in writing by any Initial Purchaser through the
     Representatives expressly for use in the Offering Memorandum.

            (3)    INCORPORATED DOCUMENTS. The Offering Memorandum shall
     incorporate by reference the most recent Annual Report of the Company and
     the Operating Partnership on Form 10-K filed with the Commission and each
     Quarterly Report of the Company and the Operating Partnership on Form 10-Q
     and each Current Report of the Company and the Operating Partnership on
     Form 8-K filed with the Commission since the filing of the end of the
     fiscal year to which such Annual Report relates. The documents incorporated
     or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum at the
     time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and
     shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act
     and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the "1934 Act
     Regulations") and, when read together with the other information in the
     Offering Memorandum, at the time the Offering Memorandum was issued and at
     the Closing Time, did not and shall not include an untrue statement of a
     material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
     therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
     circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

            (4)    INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS. The accountants who certified the
     financial statements and supporting schedules included, or incorporated by
     reference, in the Offering Memorandum were independent public accountants
     with respect to the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and the
     current accountants of the Operating Partnership are independent public
     accountants with respect to the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries,
     in each case, as required by the rules and regulations of the Commission
     under the 1933 Act.

            (5)    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The financial statements included, or
     incorporated by reference, in the Offering Memorandum, together with the
     related schedules and notes, as well as those financial statements,
     schedules and notes of any other entity included therein, present fairly
     the financial position of the respective entity or entities or group
     presented therein at the respective dates indicated and the statement of
     operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows of such entity, as the case
     may be, for the periods specified. Such financial statements have been
     prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
     ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved. The
     supporting schedules, if any, included, or incorporated by reference, in
     the Offering Memorandum present fairly, in accordance with GAAP, the
     information stated therein. The selected financial data, the summary
     financial information and other financial information and data included, or
     incorporated by reference, in the Offering Memorandum present fairly the
     information shown therein and have been compiled on a basis consistent with
     that of the audited financial statements included, or incorporated by
     reference, in the Offering Memorandum. In addition, any pro forma financial
     information and the related notes thereto, if any, included, or
     incorporated by reference, in the Offering Memorandum present fairly the
     information shown therein, have been prepared in accordance with the
     Commission's rules and guidelines and the guidelines of the American
     Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") with respect to pro
     forma information and have been properly

                                        3


     compiled on the bases described therein, and the assumptions used in the
     preparation thereof are reasonable and the adjustments used therein are
     appropriate to give effect to the transactions and circumstances referred
     to therein.

            (6)    NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE IN BUSINESS. Since the respective
     dates as of which information is given in the Offering Memorandum, except
     as otherwise stated therein, (a) there has been no material adverse change
     in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, assets,

     Partnership, SPG Realty Consultants, Inc., the paired share affiliate of
     the Company, M.S. Management Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SPG

     Companies"), and Simon Property Group (Delaware), Inc., Jefferson Simon
     Property, Inc., SDG Forum Developers, Inc., DeBartolo Properties, Inc.,
     DeBartolo Properties II, Inc., and DeBartolo Properties III, Inc. and any
     other subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the "REIT Subs") or any
     subsidiary of the Operating Partnership (other than any Property
     Partnership (as defined below)) not listed among the foregoing entities,
     (the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Management Companies, the REIT
     Subs and such subsidiaries being sometimes hereinafter collectively
     referred to as the "Simon Entities" and individually as a "Simon Entity"),
     or of any entity which owns any Portfolio Property (as such term is defined
     in the Offering Memorandum) or any direct interest in any Portfolio
     Property (the "Property Partnerships") whether or not arising in the
     ordinary course of business, which, taken as a whole, would be material to
     the Operating Partnership (anything which, taken as a whole, would be
     material to the Operating Partnership, being hereinafter referred to as
     "Material;" and such a material adverse change, a "Material Adverse
     Effect"), (b) no casualty loss or condemnation or other adverse event with
     respect to the Portfolio Properties has occurred which would be Material,
     (c) there have been no transactions or acquisitions entered into by the
     Simon Entities or the Property Partnerships, other than those in the
     ordinary course of business, which would be Material, (d) except for
     distributions in amounts per unit that are consistent with past practices,
     there has been no distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the
     Operating Partnership on any of its respective general, limited and/or
     preferred partnership interests, and (e) there has been no change in the
     capital stock of the corporate Simon Entities or in the partnership
     interests of the Operating Partnership or any Property Partnership, or any
     increase in the indebtedness of the Simon Entities, the Property
     Partnerships or the Portfolio Properties which would be Material.

            (7)    GOOD STANDING OF THE COMPANY. The Company has been duly
     organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under
     the laws of the State of Delaware and has corporate power and authority to
     own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as
     described in the Offering Memorandum. The Company is duly qualified as a
     foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each
     other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by
     reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business,
     except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not
     result in a Material Adverse Effect.

            (8)    GOOD STANDING OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The Operating
     Partnership is duly organized and validly existing as a limited partnership
     in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with the
     requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties, to
     conduct the business in which it is engaged and proposes to engage as
     described in the Offering Memorandum and to enter into and perform its
     obligations under this Agreement. The

                                        4


     Operating Partnership is duly qualified or registered as a foreign
     partnership and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such
     qualification or registration is required, whether by reason of the
     ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where
     the failure to so qualify or register would not have a Material Adverse
     Effect. The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating
     Partnership. The amended and restated agreement of limited partnership of
     the Operating Partnership (the "OP Partnership Agreement") is in full force
     and effect in the form in which it was filed as an exhibit to the Operating
     Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
     2001, except for subsequent amendments relating to the admission of new
     partners to the Operating Partnership.

            (9)    GOOD STANDING OF SIMON ENTITIES. Each of the Simon Entities
     other than the Operating Partnership has been duly organized and is validly
     existing as a corporation, limited partnership, limited liability company
     or other entity, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of the
     state of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, as the case may
     be, with the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its
     properties, and to conduct the business in which it is engaged or proposes
     to engage as described in the Offering Memorandum. Each such entity is duly
     qualified or registered as a foreign corporation, limited partnership or
     limited liability company or other entity, as the case may be, to transact
     business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such
     qualification or registration is required, whether by reason of the
     ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where
     the failure to so qualify or register would not have a Material Adverse
     Effect. Except as otherwise stated in the Offering Memorandum, all of the
     issued and outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of each such
     entity have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
     non-assessable, have been offered and sold in compliance with all
     applicable laws (including without limitation, federal or state securities
     laws) and are owned by the Company, the Management Companies or the
     Operating Partnership, in each case free and clear of any security
     interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or equity
     (collectively, "Liens"). No shares of capital stock or other equity
     interests of such entities are reserved for any purpose, and there are no
     outstanding securities convertible into or exchangeable for any capital
     stock or other equity interests of such entities and no outstanding
     options, rights (preemptive or otherwise) or warrants to purchase or to
     subscribe for shares of such capital stock or any other securities of such
     entities, except as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum. No such shares of
     capital stock or other equity interests of such entities were issued in
     violation of preemptive or other similar rights arising by operation of
     law, under the charter or by-laws of such entity or under any agreement to
     which any Simon Entity is a party.

            (10)   GOOD STANDING OF PROPERTY PARTNERSHIPS. Each of the Property
     Partnerships is duly organized and validly existing as a limited or general
     partnership, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of its
     respective jurisdiction of formation. Each of the Property Partnerships has
     the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties,
     and to conduct the business in which it is engaged. Each of the partnership
     agreements of the Property Partnerships is in full force and effect. Each
     of the Property Partnerships is duly qualified or registered as a foreign
     partnership to transact business and is in good standing in each
     jurisdiction in which such qualification or registration is required,
     whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of
     business, except where the failure to so qualify or register would not have
     a Material Adverse Effect.

            (11)   CAPITALIZATION. The issued and outstanding units of general,
     limited and/or preferred partner interests of the Operating Partnership are
     as set forth in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 9,
     2002 (except for subsequent issuances thereof, if any, contemplated under
     this Agreement or referred to in the Offering Memorandum). Such units of

                                        5


     partners' equity have been duly authorized and validly issued by the
     Operating Partnership and are fully paid and non-assessable and have been
     offered and sold or exchanged in compliance with all applicable laws
     (including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws), and
     none of such units of partners' equity were issued in violation of
     preemptive or other similar rights arising by operation of law, under the
     certificate of limited partnership and the OP Partnership Agreement of the
     Operating Partnership or under any agreement to which the Operating
     Partnership or any of the other Simon Entities is a party or otherwise.
     There are no units of partners' equity of the Operating Partnership
     reserved for any purpose and there are no outstanding securities
     convertible into or exchangeable for any units of partners' equity of the
     Operating Partnership and, other than this Agreement, there are no
     outstanding options, rights (preemptive or otherwise) or warrants to
     purchase from the Operating Partnership or to subscribe for with the
     Operating Partnership such units of partners' equity or any other
     securities of the Operating Partnership.

            (12)   AUTHORIZATION OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT. This Agreement has been
     duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Operating Partnership and,
     assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by or on behalf of the
     Initial Purchasers, shall constitute a valid and legally binding agreement
     of the Operating Partnership, enforceable against the Operating Partnership
     in accordance with its terms except to the extent that enforceability
     thereof may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
     moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in
     effect relating to creditors' rights generally and (b) general principles
     of equity (regardless of whether considered at law or in equity).

            (13)   AUTHORIZATION OF THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT. The
     Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
     delivered by the Operating Partnership and, assuming the due authorization,
     execution and delivery thereof by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers,
     shall constitute a valid and legally binding agreement of the Operating
     Partnership, enforceable against the Operating Partnership in accordance
     with its terms except (a) to the extent that enforceability thereof may be
     limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
     fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
     relating to creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of
     equity (regardless of whether considered at law or in equity); (b) that
     rights to indemnity and contribution contained in the Registration Rights
     Agreement may be limited by state or federal securities laws or pubic
     policy and (c) that rights to receive the Special Interest Premium (as such
     term is defined therein) contained therein, to the extent it may be
     construed as liquidated damages, may be unenforceable, in whole or in part.

            (14)   AUTHORIZATION OF THE INDENTURE. For the Notes being sold
     pursuant to this Agreement, the Indenture has been, or prior to the
     issuance of the Notes thereunder shall have been, duly authorized, executed
     and delivered by the Operating Partnership and, upon such authorization,
     execution and delivery, shall constitute a valid and legally binding
     agreement of the Operating Partnership, enforceable against the Operating
     Partnership, in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement
     thereof may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
     moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights
     generally, (b) general equitable principles (regardless of whether
     enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (c)
     requirements that a claim with respect to any Notes issued under the
     Indenture that are payable in a foreign or composite currency (or a foreign
     or composite currency judgment in respect of such claim) be converted into
     U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined pursuant
     to applicable law, or (d) governmental authority to limit, delay or
     prohibit the making of payments outside the United States. The Indenture
     has been duly

                                        6


     qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (the "1939
     Act") and conforms, in all material respects, to the descriptions thereof
     contained in the Offering Memorandum.

            (15)   AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES. The Notes being sold pursuant to this
     Agreement have been, duly authorized by the Operating Partnership for
     issuance and sale pursuant to this Agreement. Such Notes, when issued and
     authenticated in the manner provided for in the applicable Indenture and
     delivered by the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement against
     payment of the consideration therefor specified in this Agreement, shall
     constitute valid and legally binding, unsecured obligations of the
     Operating Partnership, enforceable against the Operating Partnership, in
     accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be
     limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
     similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally or by
     general equitable principles, and except further as enforcement thereof may
     be limited by (a) requirements that a claim with respect to any Notes
     denominated other than in U.S. dollars (or a foreign or composite currency
     judgment in respect of such claim) be converted into U.S. dollars at a rate
     of exchange prevailing on a date determined pursuant to applicable law or
     (b) governmental authority to limit, delay or prohibit the making of
     payments outside the United States. Such Notes shall be in the form
     contemplated by, and each registered holder thereof shall be entitled to

     equally with all unsecured indebtedness (other than subordinated
     indebtedness) of the Operating Partnership that is outstanding on a
     Representation Date or that may be incurred thereafter and senior to all
     subordinated indebtedness that is outstanding on a Representation Date or
     that may be incurred thereafter, except that such Notes shall be
     effectively subordinate to the prior claims of each secured mortgage lender
     to any specific Portfolio Property which secures such lender's mortgage and
     any claims of creditors of entities wholly or partly owned, directly or
     indirectly, by the Operating Partnership.

            (16)   DESCRIPTIONS OF THE NOTES AND THE INDENTURE. The Notes being

     condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
     loan or credit agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to
     which each entity is a party or by which or any of them may be bound, or to
     which any of its property or assets or any Portfolio Property may be bound
     or subject (collectively, "Agreements and Instruments"), except for such
     violations (other than with respect to the charter, by-laws, partnership
     agreement, or other organizational document of such entities) or defaults
     that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery
     and performance of this Agreement, the Notes, the Indenture, the

     contemplated herein and in the Offering Memorandum (including the issuance
     and sale of the Notes and the use of the proceeds from the sale of the
     Notes as described under the caption "Use of Proceeds") and compliance by
     the Operating Partnership with its obligations hereunder and thereunder
     have been duly authorized by all necessary partnership action, and do not

     time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or

     Partnership or any other Simon Entity or any Property Partnership pursuant
     to, any Agreements and Instruments, except for such conflicts, breaches,
     defaults, Repayment Events or liens, charges or encumbrances that, singly
     or in the aggregate, would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, nor
     shall such action result in any violation of the provisions of the
     partnership agreement and certificate of limited partnership of the
     Operating Partnership or the organizational documents of any other Simon
     Entity or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order,
     writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court,
     domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Operating Partnership,
     any other Simon Entity or any Property Partnership or any of their assets,
     properties or operations, except for such violations that would not have a
     Material Adverse Effect. As used herein, a "Repayment Event" means any
     event or condition which gives the holder of any note, debenture or other
     evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder's behalf) the

     inquiry or investigation before or by any court or governmental agency or
     body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or to the knowledge of the
     Operating Partnership threatened against or affecting the Operating
     Partnership, any other Simon Entity, or any Property Partnership or any
     officer or director of the Operating Partnership which might reasonably be
     expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or which might reasonably
     be expected to materially and adversely affect the assets, properties or

     the Registration Rights Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein
     or therein. The aggregate of all pending legal or governmental proceedings

     state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct
     the business now operated by them except for such Governmental Licenses the
     failure to obtain would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a
     Material Adverse Effect. The Operating Partnership and the other Simon
     Entities and each Property Partnership are in compliance with the terms and
     conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so
     to comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material
     Adverse Effect. All of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full
     force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses
     or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect
     would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Operating
     Partnership, any of the other Simon Entities or any Property Partnership
     has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
     modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the
     aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding,

     stated in the Offering Memorandum, or referred to in any title policy for
     such Portfolio Property, or (b) those which do not, singly or in the
     aggregate, Materially (i) affect the value of such property or (ii)
     interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the
     Operating Partnership, any other Simon Entity or any Property Partnership.
     All leases and subleases under which the Operating Partnership, any other
     Simon Entity or any Property Partnerships hold properties are in full force
     and effect, except for such which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
     None of the Operating Partnership, the other Simon Entities or the Property
     Partnerships has received any notice of any Material claim of any sort that
     has been asserted by anyone adverse to the rights of the Operating
     Partnership, any other Simon Entity or the Property Partnerships under any
     material leases or subleases, or affecting or questioning the rights of the
     Operating Partnership, such other Simon Entity or the Property Partnerships
     of the continued possession of the leased or subleased premises under any
     such lease or sublease, other than claims that would not have a Material
     Adverse Effect. All liens, charges, encumbrances, claims or restrictions on
     or affecting any of the Portfolio Properties and the assets of any Simon
     Entity or any Property Partnership which are required to be disclosed in

     the Property Partnerships or any tenant of any of the Portfolio Properties

     otherwise recorded against, the Portfolio Properties, and the Operating
     Partnership knows of no event which, but for the passage of time or the
     giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under any of such
     documents or agreements, in each case, other than such defaults that would
     not have a Material Adverse Effect. No tenant under any of the leases,
     pursuant to which the Operating Partnership or any Property Partnership, as
     lessor, leases its Portfolio Property, has an option or right of first
     refusal to purchase the premises demised under such lease, the exercise of
     which would have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Portfolio
     Properties complies with all applicable codes, laws and regulations
     (including, without limitation, building and zoning codes, laws and
     regulations and laws relating to access to the Portfolio Properties),
     except for such failures to comply that would not in the aggregate have a
     Material Adverse Effect. The Operating Partnership has no knowledge of any
     pending or threatened condemnation proceeding, zoning change, or other
     proceeding or action that will in any manner affect the size of, use of,

     or administrative interpretation thereof including any judicial or
     administrative order, consent, decree of judgment, relating to pollution or
     protection of human health, the environment (including, without limitation,

     including, without limitation, laws and regulations relating to the release
     or threatened release of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, wastes, toxic
     substances, hazardous substances, petroleum or petroleum products

     distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of

     Entities or the Property Partnerships and (D) there are no events or
     circumstances that might reasonably be expected to form the basis of an
     order for clean-up or remediation, or an action, suit or proceeding by any
     private party or governmental body or agency, against or affecting the
     Operating Partnership, any of the other Simon Entities or any Property

     Partnerships has filed all federal, state, local and foreign income tax
     returns which have been required to be filed (except in any case in which
     an extension has been granted or the failure to so file would not have a
     Material Adverse Effect) and has paid all taxes required to be paid and any
     other assessment, fine or penalty levied against it, to the extent that any
     of the foregoing is due and payable, except, in all cases, for any such
     tax, assessment, fine or penalty that is being contested in good faith.

            (28)   ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS. None of the environmental
     consultants which prepared environmental and asbestos inspection reports

have delivered to the Representatives a letter dated the Closing Time, from each
such rating agency, or other evidence satisfactory to the Representatives,
confirming that the Notes have such ratings; and since the date of this
Agreement, there shall not have occurred a downgrading in the rating assigned to
the Notes or any of the Operating Partnership's other Notes by any "nationally
recognized statistical rating organization," as that term is defined by the
Commission for purposes for Rule 436(g)(2) under the 1933 Act, and no such
securities rating agency shall have publicly announced that it has under
surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the
Notes or any of the Operating Partnership's other securities.

     (h)    ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. At Closing Time, counsel for the Initial
Purchasers shall have been furnished with such documents and opinions as they

of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the
conditions, herein contained; and all proceedings taken by the Operating
Partnership in connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes as herein
contemplated shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives

termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as
provided in Section 4, and except that Sections 1, 7 and 8 shall survive any
such termination and remain in full force and effect.

     SECTION 6.    SUBSEQUENT OFFERS AND RESALES OF THE NOTES.

     (a)    OFFER AND SALE PROCEDURES. Each of the Initial Purchasers and the
Operating Partnership hereby establishes and agrees to observe the following
procedures in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes:

            (i)    OFFERS, SALES AND DELIVERIES. Offers, sales and deliveries of
     the Notes shall only be made (a) to persons whom the offeror or seller
     reasonably believes to be "qualified

                                       16


     institutional buyers" (as defined in Rule 144A under the 1933 Act), (b) to
     a limited number of other institutional "Accredited Investors" (as such
     term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D) that
     the offeror or seller reasonably believes to be and, with respect to sales
     and deliveries, that are Accredited Investors ("Institutional Accredited
     Investors") or (c) non-U.S. persons outside the United States, as defined
     in Regulation S under the 1933 Act, to whom the offeror or seller
     reasonably believes offers and sales of the Notes may be made in reliance
     upon Regulation S under the 1933 Act. Each Initial Purchaser agrees that it
     shall not offer, sell or deliver any of the Notes in any jurisdiction
     outside the United States except under circumstances that will result in
     compliance with the applicable laws thereof, and that it shall take at its
     own expense whatever action is required to permit its purchase and resale
     of the Notes in such jurisdictions.

            (ii)   NO GENERAL SOLICITATION. No general solicitation or general
     advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the 1993 Act) shall be
     used in the United States in connection with the offering or sale of the
     Notes.

            (iii)  PURCHASES BY NON-BANK FIDUCIARIES. In the case of a non-bank
     Subsequent Purchaser of a Note acting as a fiduciary for one or more third
     parties, each such third party shall, in the judgment of the applicable
     Initial Purchaser, be an Institutional Accredited Investor or a Qualified
     Institutional Buyer or a non-U.S. person outside the United States.

            (iv)   SUBSEQUENT PURCHASER NOTIFICATION. Each Initial Purchaser
     shall take reasonable steps to inform, and cause each of its U.S.
     Affiliates to take reasonable steps to inform, persons acquiring Notes from
     such Initial Purchaser or affiliate, as the case may be, in the United
     States that the Notes (a) have not been and shall not be registered under
     the 1933 Act, (b) are being sold to them without registration under the
     1933 Act in reliance on Rule 144A or in accordance with another exemption
     from registration under the 1933 Act, as the case may be, and (c) may not
     be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except (1) to the Operating
     Partnership, (2) outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S,
     or (3) inside the United States in accordance with (x) Rule 144A to a
     person whom the seller reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional
     Buyer that is purchasing such Notes for its own account or for the account
     of a Qualified Institutional Buyer to whom notice is given that the offer,
     sale or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (y) pursuant to
     another available exemption from registration under the 1933 Act.

            (v)    MINIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT. No sale of the Notes to any one
     Subsequent Purchaser shall be for less than U.S. $1,000 ($100,000 for
     Institutional Accredited Investors) principal amount and no Note shall be
     issued in a smaller principal amount. If the Subsequent Purchaser is a
     non-bank fiduciary acting on behalf of others, each person for whom it is
     acting must purchase at least U.S. $100,000 principal amount of the Notes.

            (vi)   RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The transfer restrictions and the
     other provisions set forth in the Offering Memorandum under the heading
     "Notice to Investors," including the legend required thereby, shall apply
     to the Notes except as otherwise agreed by the Operating Partnership and
     the Initial Purchasers.

            (vii)  DELIVERY OF OFFERING MEMORANDUM. Each Initial Purchaser shall
     deliver to each Subsequent Purchaser of the Notes, in connection with its
     original distribution of the Notes, a copy of the Offering Memorandum, as
     amended and supplemented at the date of such delivery, if required by
     applicable law.

                                       17


     (b)    COVENANTS OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The Operating Partnership
covenants with each Initial Purchaser as follows:

            (i)    INTEGRATION. The Operating Partnership agrees that it shall
     not and shall cause its Affiliates not to solicit, directly or indirectly,
     any offer to buy or make any offer or sale of, or otherwise negotiate in
     respect of, securities of the Operating Partnership of any class if, as a
     result of the doctrine of "integration" referred to in Rule 502 under the
     1933 Act, such offer or sale would render invalid (for the purpose of (i)
     the sale of the Notes by the Operating Partnership to the Initial
     Purchasers, (ii) the resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers to
     Subsequent Purchasers or (iii) the resale of the Notes by such Subsequent
     Purchasers to others) the exemption from the registration requirements of
     the 1933 Act provided by Section 4(2) thereof or by Rule 144A or by
     Regulation S thereunder or otherwise.

            (ii)   RULE 144A INFORMATION. The Operating Partnership agrees that,
     in order to render the Notes eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A
     under the 1933 Act, while any of the Notes remain outstanding, it shall
     make available, upon request, to any holder of Notes or prospective
     purchasers of Notes the information specified in Rule 144A(d)(4), unless
     the Operating Partnership furnishes information to the Commission pursuant
     to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act (such information, whether made
     available to holders or prospective purchasers or furnished to the
     Commission, is herein referred to as "Additional Information").

            (iii)  RESTRICTION ON REPURCHASES. Until the expiration of two years
     after the original issuance of the Notes, the Operating Partnership shall
     not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, purchase or agree to purchase
     or otherwise acquire any Notes which are "restricted securities" (as such
     term is defined under Rule 144(a)(3) under the 1933 Act), whether as
     beneficial owner or otherwise (except as agent acting as a securities
     broker on behalf of and for the account of customers in the ordinary course
     of business in unsolicited broker's transactions), unless such repurchased
     Notes are promptly retired.

     (c)    RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 903 OF REGULATION S OR RULE 144A. Each
Initial Purchaser understands that the Notes have not been and shall not be
registered under the 1933 Act and may not be offered or sold within the United
States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in
accordance with Regulation S under the 1933 Act or pursuant to an exemption from
the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. Each Initial Purchaser severally
represents and agrees, that, except as permitted by Section 6(a) above, it has
offered and sold Notes and shall offer and sell Notes (i) as part of their
distribution at any time and (ii) otherwise until forty days after the later of
the date upon which the offering of the Notes commences and the Closing Time,
only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S, or another applicable
exemption from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act or Rule 144A under
the 1993 Act. Accordingly, none of the Initial Purchasers, their affiliates or
any persons acting on their behalf have engaged or shall engage in any directed
selling efforts with respect to Notes, and the Initial Purchasers, their
affiliates and any person acting on their behalf have complied and shall comply
with the offering restriction requirements of Regulation S. Each Initial
Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to confirmation of a sale of Notes (other
than a sale of Notes pursuant to Rule 144A) it shall have sent to each
distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other
remuneration that purchases Notes from it or through it during the restricted
period a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

            "The Notes covered hereby have not been registered under
            the 1933 Act and may not be offered or sold within the
            United States or to or for the Account or benefit of
            U.S. persons (i) as part of their distribution at any
            time and (ii) otherwise until forty days after the later
            of the date upon

                                       18


            which the offering of the Notes commenced and the date
            of closing, except in either case in accordance with
            Regulation S, Rule 144A under the 1933 Act or another
            exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933
            Act. Terms used above have the meaning given to them by
            Regulation S."

Terms used in the above paragraph have the meanings given to them by
Regulation S.

     (d)    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INITIAL PURCHASERS. Each Initial
Purchaser severally represents and agrees that it has not entered and shall not
enter into any contractual arrangements with respect to the distribution of the
Notes, except with its affiliates or with the prior written consent of the
Operating Partnership.

     SECTION 7.    INDEMNIFICATION.

     (a)    INDEMNIFICATION OF INITIAL PURCHASERS. The Operating Partnership
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser and each person, if
any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the
1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

            (1)    against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
     expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or
     alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering
     Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or
     alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein
     or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

            (2)    against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
     expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid
     in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
     governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim
     whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
     alleged untrue statement or omission; PROVIDED, that (subject to Section
     7(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the
     Operating Partnership; and

            (3)    against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred
     (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the
     Representatives), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or
     defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
     governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
     whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
     alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense
     is not paid under (1) or (2) above;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Operating
Partnership by any Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for
use in the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

     (b)    INDEMNIFICATION OF OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, COMPANY AND COMPANY'S
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Each Initial Purchaser severally, and not jointly,
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Operating Partnership, the Company,
each of the Company's directors, and each person, if any, who controls the
Operating Partnership or the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability,
claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a)
of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or
omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Offering
Memorandum

                                       19


(or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Operating Partnership by such Initial
Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use in the Offering
Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

     (c)    ACTIONS AGAINST PARTIES; NOTIFICATION. Each indemnified party shall
give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of
any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought
hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such
indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not
materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity
agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) above,
counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representatives,
and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b) above, counsel
to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Operating Partnership. An
indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such
action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not
(except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the
indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees
and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition any local counsel) separate
from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one
action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying
party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties,
settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which
indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 or Section
8 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties
thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an
unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out
of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include
a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by
or on behalf of any indemnified party.

     (d)    SETTLEMENT WITHOUT CONSENT IF FAILURE TO REIMBURSE. If at any time
an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the
indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel in accordance with the
provisions hereof, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for
any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 7(a)(2) effected without
its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into in good faith by the
indemnified party more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of
the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice
of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being
entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such
indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement.

     SECTION 8.  CONTRIBUTION.

     If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 hereof is for any reason
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect
of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein,
then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such
losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified
party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and
the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Notes
pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
relative fault of the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and of the Initial
Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations.

                                       20


     The relative benefits received by the Operating Partnership, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the
offering of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the
same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of such
Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Operating Partnership and the
total discount received by the Initial Purchasers, bear to the aggregate initial
offering price of the Notes.

     The relative fault of the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the
Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Operating Partnership or by the Initial Purchasers
and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

     The Operating Partnership and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated
as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this
Section 8. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and
expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section
8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Initial Purchaser
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total price at which the Notes purchased by it and sold to a Subsequent
Purchaser were sold to such Subsequent Purchaser exceeds the amount of any
damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission.

     No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

     For purposes of this Section 8, each person, if any, who controls an
Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20
of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial
Purchaser, and each director of the Company, and each person, if any, who
controls the Operating Partnership or the Company within the meaning of Section
15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Operating Partnership. The Initial Purchasers' respective
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion

forth opposite their respective names in Schedule 1 hereto and not joint.

     SECTION 9.    REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS TO SURVIVE
DELIVERY.

     All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement
or in certificates of officers of the Operating Partnership or the Company or
authorized representatives of each of the Operating Partnership or the Company
submitted pursuant hereto or thereto shall remain operative and in full force
and effect, regardless or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial
Purchaser or any controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Operating
Partnership or the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the
Notes.

                                       21


     SECTION 10.   TERMINATION.

     (a)    TERMINATION; GENERAL. The Representatives may terminate this
Agreement, by notice to the Operating Partnership, at any time at or prior to
the Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this
Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the
Offering Memorandum, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or
otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the
Operating Partnership and the other Simon Entities considered as one enterprise,
whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, the effect of which
is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives,
impracticable or inadvisable to market the Notes or to enforce contracts for the
sale of the Notes, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in
the financial markets in the United States or internationally or any outbreak of
hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis, or any change or
development involving a prospective change in national or international
political, financial, or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which
is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives,
impracticable or inadvisable to market the Notes or to enforce contracts for the
sale of the Notes, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been
suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the New York Stock
Exchange, or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq
National Market or the American Stock Exchange or in the over-the-counter market
has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have
been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said
exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other governmental authority,
(iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal, New York, or
Delaware authorities, (v) a material disruption in commercial banking or
securities settlement or clearance services in the United States has occurred,
or (vi) if the rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization to any debt securities of the Operating Partnership as of the date
hereof shall have been downgraded since such date or if any such rating
organization shall have publicly announced that it has placed any series of debt
securities of the Operating Partnership under surveillance or review, with
possible negative implications, as to the rating of such debt securities or any
of the Operating Partnership's other securities.

     (b)    LIABILITIES. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this
Section 10, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any
other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that
Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full
force and effect.

     SECTION 11.   DEFAULT BY ONE OR MORE OF THE INITIAL PURCHASERS. If one or
more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the
Notes which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the
"Defaulted Notes"), the Representatives shall have the right, within 24 hours
thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Initial
Purchasers, or any other Initial Purchasers, to purchase all, but not less than
all, of the Defaulted Notes in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the
terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have
completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

            (a)    if the number of Defaulted Notes does not exceed 10% of the
     aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased hereunder, each of
     the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally and not
     jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their
     respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting
     obligations of all non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or

            (b)    if the number of Defaulted Notes exceeds 10% of the aggregate
     principal amount of the Notes to be purchased hereunder, this Agreement
     shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial
     Purchaser.

                                       22


     No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting
Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of its default.

     In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of
this Agreement, either the Representatives or the Operating Partnership shall
have the right to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven
days in order to effect any required changes in the Offering Memorandum or in
any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term "Initial
Purchaser" includes any person substituted for an Initial Purchaser under this
Section 11.

     SECTION 12.   NOTICES.

     All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard
form of telecommunication. Notices to the Representatives shall be directed to
Merrill Lynch at 4 World Financial Center, New York, New York 10080, attention

in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or
corporation, other than the Initial Purchasers, the Operating Partnership, the
Company and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers
and directors referred to in Sections 7 and 8 and their heirs and legal
representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in

shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

     THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED
IN SAID STATE. SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER TO NEW YORK CITY TIME.

                      FORM OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT


        (Please see attached copy of the Registration Rights Agreement.)



                                                                     Exhibit B-1

                       FORM OF OPINION OF SPECIAL COUNSEL
                  FOR THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
                    TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(b)

     (1)    The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

     (2)    The Company has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and
operate its properties, to conduct the business in which it is engaged or
proposes to engage as described below, and to enter into and perform its
obligations under, or as contemplated under, this Agreement.

     (3)    The Operating Partnership has been duly organized and is validly
existing as a limited partnership in good standing under the laws of the State
of Delaware, with the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate
its properties and to conduct the business in which it is engaged or proposes to
engage as described in the Offering Memorandum.

     (4)    This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by the Operating
Partnership and the Company. Any one of the Co-Chairmen of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer, President, any Vice President, the Treasurer, any Assistant
Treasurer, the Secretary, or any Assistant Secretary of the Company
(hereinafter, collectively, the "Authorized Officers") has been duly authorized
to execute and deliver this Agreement for the Company and as the general partner
of the Operating Partnership, and, assuming each has been executed and delivered
by any one of the Authorized Officers, this Agreement is duly and validly
executed and delivered by the Operating Partnership and the Company.

     (5)    The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the
Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and compliance by the Operating
Partnership with its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture and the
Registration Rights Agreement does not and will not, whether with or without the
giving of notice or the passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a
breach of, or default under (i) any provisions of the certificate or agreement
of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership; (ii) any applicable law,
statute, rule, regulation of Delaware; or (iii) to such counsel's knowledge, any
Delaware order or Delaware administrative or court decree, binding upon the
Operating Partnership or to which the Operating Partnership is subject, except
in each case for conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults that in the
aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (6)    The documents filed pursuant to the 1934 Act and incorporated by
reference in the Offering Memorandum (other than the financial statements and
supporting schedules therein and other financial data, as to which no opinion
need be rendered), when they were filed with the Commission, complied as to form
in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act,
as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. In
passing upon compliance as to the form of such documents, such counsel may have
assumed that the statements made or incorporated by reference therein are
complete and correct.

     (7)    The information in the Offering Memorandum under "Description of
Notes," "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences," and "State and Local Tax
Considerations" and the description of the Notes included therein, to the extent
that it purports to summarize matters of law, descriptions of statutes, rules or
regulations, summaries of legal matters, the Operating Partnership's
organizational documents or

                                      B-1-1


legal proceedings, or legal conclusions, has been reviewed by such counsel, is
correct and presents fairly the information required to be disclosed therein in
all material respects.

     (8)    None of the Operating Partnership, any of the Simon Entities or any
Property Partnership is required to be registered as an investment company under
the 1940 Act.

     (9)    The Notes being sold pursuant to this Agreement have been duly
authorized on behalf of the Operating Partnership by the Company as the general
partner of the Operating Partnership for issuance and sale to the Initial
Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture and, when executed and
issued and authenticated in the manner provided for in the Indenture and
delivered by the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement against
payment of the consideration therefor, (i) the Notes will constitute valid and
legally binding obligations of the Operating Partnership enforceable against the
Operating Partnership in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement
thereof may be limited (A) by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent
conveyance or transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors' rights generally, (B) by general equitable principles
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or law), or (C) by federal courts with respect to the enforceability in
such courts of forum selection clauses, and (ii) each holder of the Notes will
be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. The Notes are in the form
contemplated by the Indenture.

     (10)   The Company has, at all times since the effective date of its
election to be taxed as a "real estate investment trust" under the Code, been
organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as
a "real estate investment trust" under the Code and its proposed organization
structure will permit it to remain so qualified.

     (11)   The Indenture has been duly qualified under the 1939 Act and has
been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Operating
Partnership and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by
the Trustee) constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of the Operating
Partnership, enforceable against the Operating Partnership in accordance with
its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors' rights generally or by general equitable principles and
except further as enforcement thereof may be limited by (i) requirements that a
claim with respect to any Notes denominated other than in U.S. Dollars (or a
foreign currency or composite currency judgment in respect of such claim) be
converted into U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date
determined pursuant to applicable law, (ii) governmental authority to limit,
delay or prohibit the making of payments outside the United States, or (iii)
federal courts with respect to the enforceability in such courts of forum
selection clauses.

     (12)   Assuming the correctness of the representations and warranties and
the compliance by the Operating Partnership and the Initial Purchasers with
their respective covenants set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the offer and
sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers and to each Subsequent Purchaser
solely in the manner and under the circumstances contemplated by this Agreement
and the Offering Memorandum are exempt from the registration requirements of the
1933 Act.

     (13)   The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto and is a valid and
binding agreement, enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with
its terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or
similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles
of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) limitations under state or federal
securities laws

                                      B-1-2


or public policy with respect to the rights to indemnity and contribution
contained in the Registration Rights Agreement.

     In connection with the preparation of the Offering Memorandum, such counsel
has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the
Operating Partnership and the independent public accountants for the Operating
Partnership and the Company at which the contents of the Offering Memorandum and
related matters were discussed. On the basis of such participation and review,
but without independent verification by such counsel of, and without assuming
any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements
contained in the Offering Memorandum or any amendments or supplements thereto,
no facts have come to the attention of such counsel that would lead such counsel
to believe that the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto
(except for financial statements, the schedules and other financial data
included therein, as to which such counsel need make no statement), at the time
the Offering Memorandum was issued, at the time any such amended or supplemented
Offering Memorandum was issued or at the Closing Time, contained or contains an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

     In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters of fact (but
not as to legal conclusions), to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of
responsible officers of the Operating Partnership and public officials. Such
opinion shall not state that it is to be governed or qualified by, or that it is
otherwise subject to, any treatise, written policy or other document relating to
legal opinions, including, without limitation, the Legal Opinion Accord of the
ABA Section of Business Law (1991).

                                                                     Exhibit B-2

         FORM OF OPINION OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP'S GENERAL COUNSEL
                           TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO
                                  SECTION 5(b)

     (1)    The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the State of Delaware and has corporate power
and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its
business as described in the Offering Memorandum.

     (2)    The Company is duly qualified or registered as a foreign corporation
to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification or registration is required, whether by reason of the ownership or
leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure to so
qualify or register or be in good standing would not result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

     (3)    The Operating Partnership has been duly organized and is validly
existing as a limited partnership in good standing under the laws of the State
of Delaware, with the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate
its properties and to conduct the business in which it is engaged or proposes to
engage as described in the Offering Memorandum and to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the
Indenture and is duly qualified or registered as a foreign limited partnership
to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification or registration is required, whether by reason of the ownership or
leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure to so
qualify or be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
The Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto and is a valid and
binding agreement, enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with
its terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or
similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles
of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law), and except as rights to indemnity thereunder
may be limited by applicable law.

     (4)    Each Simon Entity other than the Company and the Operating
Partnership has been duly incorporated or organized and is validly existing as a
corporation, limited partnership or other legal entity, as the case may be, in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization, as the case may be, and has the requisite power and authority to
own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct the business in which it is
engaged or proposes to engage as described in the Offering Memorandum and is
duly qualified or registered as a foreign corporation, limited partnership or
other legal entity, as the case may be, to transact business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification or registration is
required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the
conduct of business, except where the failure to so qualify or register or to be
in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as
otherwise stated in the Offering Memorandum, all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock or other equity interests of each Simon Entity other than the
Operating Partnership has been duly authorized and is validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable and has been offered and sold in compliance with all
applicable laws of the United States and the organizational laws of the
jurisdiction of organization of such entity, and is owned by the Company, the
Management Companies or the Operating Partnership, directly or through
subsidiaries, in each case, free and clear of any Liens. There are no
outstanding securities convertible into or exchangeable for any capital stock or
other equity interests of such entities and no outstanding options, rights
(preemptive or otherwise) or warrants to purchase or to subscribe for shares of
such capital stock or any other securities

                                      B-2-1


of such entities. None of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other
equity interests of such entity was issued in violation of preemptive or other
similar rights of any security holder of such entity.

     (5)    Each of the Property Partnerships is duly organized and validly
existing as a limited or general partnership, as the case may be, in good
standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of formation, with the
requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to
conduct the business in which it is engaged and proposes to engage as described
in the Offering Memorandum. Each Property Partnership is duly qualified or
registered as a foreign partnership and is in good standing in each jurisdiction
in which such qualification or registration is required, whether by reason of
ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the

obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract,
indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or

or incorporated by reference therein, except in each case for violations (other
than with respect to the charter, by-laws, partnership agreement, or other
organizational document of such entities) or defaults which in the aggregate are
not reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (8)    The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the
Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby did not and do not, conflict with or
constitute a breach or violation of, or default or Repayment Event under, or
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any Portfolio Property,
pursuant to, any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit
agreement, note, lease or any other agreement or instrument, to which the
Operating Partnership or any Property Partnership is a party or by which it of
any of them may be bound, or to which any of the assets, properties or
operations of the Operating Partnership or any Property Partnership is subject,
nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the charter,
by-laws, partnership agreement or other organizational document of the Operating
Partnership, any other Simon Entity or any Property Partnership or any
applicable laws, statutes, rules or regulations of the United States or any
jurisdiction of incorporation or formation of any of the Operating Partnership
or any Property Partnership or any judgement, order, writ or decree binding upon
the Operating Partnership, any other Simon Entity or any Property Partnership,
which judgement, order, writ or decree, is known to such counsel, of any
government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having

such entities), defaults, events or Liens that would not result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

     (9)    No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order,
registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or
agency (other than such as may be required under the applicable securities laws
of the various jurisdictions in which the Notes will be offered or sold, as to
which such counsel need express no opinion) is required in connection with the
due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture or
the Registration Rights Agreement by the Operating Partnership or for the
offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers and
to each Subsequent Purchaser in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.

     (10)   There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation
before or by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now

Material Adverse Effect or which might reasonably be expected to materially and
adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this

by the Operating Partnership of its obligations thereunder or the transactions
contemplated by the Offering Memorandum.

material respects.

     (12)   To the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, there are
no statutes or regulations that are required to be described in the Offering
Memorandum that are not described as required.

                                   ARTICLE II

                    COVENANTS FOR BENEFIT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES

     SECTION 2.01.     COVENANTS FOR BENEFIT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES. The Operating
Partnership covenants and agrees, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes,
as follows:

            (a) LIMITATIONS ON INCURRENCE OF DEBT. The Operating Partnership
shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt (as defined
below), other than Intercompany Debt (as defined below), if, immediately after
giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt, the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Debt would be greater than 60% of the sum of (i) the
Operating Partnership's Adjusted Total Assets (as defined below) as of the end
of the fiscal quarter prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (ii)
any increase in Adjusted Total Assets from the end of such quarter including,
without limitation, any pro forma increase from the application of the proceeds
of such additional Debt.

            In addition, the Operating Partnership shall not, and shall not
permit any Subsidiary to, incur any additional Secured Debt (as defined below),
if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured
Debt, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt is greater
than 55% of the sum of (i) the Operating Partnership's Adjusted Total Assets as
of the end of the fiscal quarter prior to the incurrence of such additional
Secured Debt and (ii) any increase in Adjusted Total Assets from the end of such
quarter including, without limitation, any pro forma increase from the
application of the proceeds of such additional Secured Debt.

            In addition, the Operating Partnership shall not, and shall not
permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if the ratio of Annualized EBITDA After
Minority Interest to Interest Expense (in each case as defined below) for the
period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended
prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have
been less than 1.75 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the
incurrence of such Debt and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, and
calculated on the assumption that (i) such Debt and any other Debt incurred
since the first day of such four-quarter period had been incurred, and the
proceeds therefrom had been applied (to whatever purposes such proceeds had been
applied as of the date of calculation of such ratio), at the beginning of such
period, (ii) any other Debt that has been repaid or retired since the first day
of such four-quarter period had been repaid or retired at the beginning of such
period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any
revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance
of such Debt during such period), (iii) any income earned as a result of any
assets having been placed in service since the end of such four-quarter period
had been earned, on an annualized basis, during such period, and (iv) in the
case of any acquisition or disposition by the Operating Partnership, any
Subsidiary or any unconsolidated joint venture in which the Operating
Partnership or any Subsidiary owns an interest, of any assets since the first
day of such four-quarter period, including, without limitation, by merger, stock
purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition and
any related repayment of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period
with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition
being included in such pro forma calculation.

            For purposes of the foregoing provisions regarding the limitation on
the incurrence of Debt, Debt shall be deemed to be "incurred" by the Operating
Partnership, its Subsidiaries and by any unconsolidated joint venture, whenever
the Operating Partnership, any Subsidiary or any unconsolidated joint venture,
as the case may be, shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable
in respect thereof.

                                       10


            (b) MAINTENANCE OF UNENCUMBERED ASSETS. The Operating Partnership is
required to maintain Unencumbered Assets (as defined below) of not less than
150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt (as
defined below) of the Operating Partnership.

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; provided, that Debt
also includes, to the extent not otherwise included, any obligation by the
Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary to be liable for, or to pay, as obligor,
guarantor or otherwise, items of indebtedness of another Person (other than the

                               REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     SECTION 3.01.     REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT.

            (a) The Operating Partnership shall enter into the Registration
Rights Agreement with the Initial Purchasers for the benefit of the Holders of
the Notes wherein the Operating Partnership shall agree, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Notes, to use its reasonable best efforts (i) to file with the

(i) because of any change in law or in currently prevailing interpretations of
the staff of the Commission, the Operating Partnership is not permitted to
effect the Exchange Offer, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not consummated within 180
days of the Closing Date, or (iii) in the case of any Holder that participates
in the Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive Exchange Notes on the date
of the exchange that may be sold without restriction under state and federal
securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as an
affiliate of the Operating Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act
or as a broker-dealer), then in each case, the Operating Partnership shall (x)
promptly deliver to the Holders written notice thereof and (y) at the Operating
Partnership's sole expense (a) as promptly as practicable (but in no event more
than 60 days after so required or requested pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement), file a shelf registration statement covering resales of the Notes
(the "Shelf Registration Statement"), (b) use its reasonable best efforts to
cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the
Securities Act and (c) use its reasonable best efforts to keep effective the
Shelf Registration Statement until the earlier of two years (or, if Rule 144(k)
is amended to provide a shorter restrictive period, the end of such shorter
period) after the Closing Date or such time as all of the applicable Notes have
been sold thereunder. The Operating Partnership shall, if a Shelf Registration
Statement is filed, provide to each Holder of the Notes copies of the prospectus
that is a part of the Shelf Registration Statement, notify each such Holder when
the Shelf Registration Statement for the Notes has become effective and take
certain other actions as are required to permit unrestricted resales of the
Notes. A Holder that sells Notes pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement
shall be required to be named as a selling security Holder in the related
prospectus, to provide information related thereto and to deliver such
prospectus to purchasers,

                                       13


shall be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the
Securities Act in connection with such sales and shall be bound by the
provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement that are applicable to such a
Holder (including certain indemnification rights and obligations).

     SECTION 3.02.     SPECIAL INTEREST PREMIUM. If the Operating Partnership
fails to comply with certain provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, in
each case as described below, then a special interest premium (the "Special
Interest Premium") shall become payable in respect of the Notes as follows:

            (a) If (i) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not filed
     with the Commission on or prior to the 90th day following the Closing Date,
     (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective on
     or prior to the 135th day following the Closing Date or (iii) the Exchange
     Offer is not consummated or the Shelf Registration Statement is not
     declared effective on or prior to the 180th day following the Closing Date,
     the Special Interest Premium shall accrue from and including the next day
     following each of (a) such 90-day period in the case of clause (i) above,
     (b) such 135-day period in the case of clause (ii) above and (c) such
     180-day period in the case of clause (iii) above, in each case at a rate
     equal to 0.50% per annum. The aggregate amount of the Special Interest
     Premium payable pursuant to the above provisions shall in no event exceed
     0.50% per annum. If the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not
     declared effective on or prior to the 135th day following the Closing Date
     and the Operating Partnership shall request Holders of Notes to provide the
     information called for by the Registration Rights Agreement for inclusion
     in the Shelf Registration Statement, the Notes owned by Holders who do not
     deliver such information to the Operating Partnership when required
     pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement shall not be entitled to any
     such increase in the interest rate for any day after the 180th day
     following the Closing Date. Upon (1) the filing of the Exchange Offer
     Registration Statement after the 90-day period described in clause (i), (2)
     the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the
     135-day period described in clause (ii) above or (3) the consummation of
     the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement,
     as the case may be, after the 180-day period described in clause (iii)
     above, the interest rate on each series of Notes from the date of such
     effectiveness or consummation, as the case may be, shall be reduced to the
     original interest rate provided for herein for such series of Notes.

            (b) If a Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, and if
     the Operating Partnership fails to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
     continuously (x) effective or (y) useable for resales for the period
     required by the Registration Rights Agreement due to certain circumstances
     relating to pending corporate developments, public filings with the
     Commission and similar events, or because the prospectus contains an untrue
     statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to
     be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not
     misleading, and such failure continues for more than 60 days (whether or
     not consecutive) in any 12-month period (the 61st day being referred to as
     the "Default Day"), then from the Default Day until the earlier of (i) the
     date that the Shelf Registration Statement is again deemed effective or is
     useable, (ii) the date that is the second anniversary of the Closing Date
     (or, if Rule 144(k) is amended to provide a shorter restrictive period, the
     end of such shorter period) or (iii) the date as of which all of the Notes
     are sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Special Interest
     Premium shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum.

     SECTION 3.03.     LEGEND. Each Note shall contain a legend to the effect
that the Holder thereof, by its acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to have
agreed to be bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. Such
legend shall be in the form set forth in Section 5.01(a) hereof.

                                       14


                                   ARTICLE IV

                              TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

     SECTION 4.01.     TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

            (a) By its acceptance of any Initial Note represented by a
certificate bearing the legend set forth in Section 5.01(a) hereof (the "Private
Placement Legend"), each Holder of, and beneficial bearer of an interest in,
such Initial Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Initial Note
and agrees that it shall transfer such Initial Note only in accordance with such
restrictions. Each purchaser (other than the Initial Purchasers) of the Notes
and each Person to whom the Notes are transferred shall, prior to the Resale
Restriction Termination Date (as defined in the Private Placement Legend), be
deemed to have acknowledged, represented and agreed to the matters and
restrictions on transfer described under the heading "Notice to Investors" in
the Offering Memorandum of the Operating Partnership, dated August 15, 2002,
relating to the Initial Notes. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or
replacement of an Initial Note not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the
Trustee shall deliver an Initial Note or Initial Notes that do not bear the
Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or
replacement of an Initial Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Trustee
shall deliver an Initial Note or Initial Notes bearing the Private Placement
Legend, unless such legend may be removed from such Note as provided in this
Section 4.01(a). If the Private Placement Legend has been removed from an
Initial Note, as provided herein, no other Initial Note issued in exchange for
all or any part of such Initial Note shall bear such legend, unless the
Operating Partnership has reasonable cause to believe that such other Initial
Note represents a "restricted security" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act and instructs the Trustee in writing to cause a legend to appear
thereon. Each Initial Note shall bear the Private Placement Legend unless and
until:

                 (i)   a transfer of such Initial Note is made pursuant to an
     effective Shelf Registration Statement, in which case the Private Placement
     Legend shall be removed from such Initial Note so transferred at the
     request of the Holder; or

                 (ii)  there is delivered to the Operating Partnership such
     satisfactory evidence, which may include an opinion of independent counsel
     licensed to practice law in the State of New York, as may reasonably be
     requested by the Operating Partnership confirming that neither such legend
     nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure
     that transfers of such Initial Note shall not violate the registration and
     prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act; PROVIDED, that the
     Trustee shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination
     made by the Operating Partnership with respect to) the sufficiency of any
     such evidence; and upon written direction of the Operating Partnership, the
     Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such Initial Note,
     an Initial Note or Initial Notes representing the same aggregate principal
     amount of the Initial Note being exchanged) without such legend.

            (b) The Initial Global Note or Exchange Global Note, as the case may
be, shall be exchanged by the Operating Partnership for one or more Initial
Certificated Notes or Exchange Certificated Notes, as applicable, if (i) DTC (1)
has notified the Operating Partnership that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as, or ceases to be, a clearing agency registered under Section 17A of
the Exchange Act and (2) a successor to DTC registered as a clearing agency
under Section 17A of the Exchange Act is not able to be appointed by the
Operating Partnership within 90 calendar days or (ii) DTC is at any time
unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and the Operating Partnership is
not able to appoint a successor to DTC within 90 calendar days. If an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Operating Partnership shall, at the
request of the Trustee or the Holder thereof, exchange all or part of the
Initial Global Note or Exchange Global Note, as the case may be, for one or more
Initial Certificated Notes or

                                       15


Exchange Certificated Notes, as applicable. Whenever a Global Note is exchanged
for one or more Initial Certificated Notes or Exchange Certificated Notes, as
the case may be, it shall be surrendered by the Holder thereof to the Trustee
and cancelled by the Trustee. All Initial Certificated Notes or Exchange
Certificated Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note or a portion thereof
shall be registered in such names, and delivered, as DTC shall instruct the
Trustee. Any Initial Certificated Notes issued pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)
shall include the Private Placement Legend, except as set forth in Section
4.01(a) hereof.

            (c) Any Initial Notes that are presented to the Trustee for exchange
pursuant to an Exchange Offer shall be exchanged for Exchange Notes of equal
principal amount upon surrender to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of
the Exchange Offer. Whenever any Initial Notes are so surrendered for exchange,
the Operating Partnership shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the surrendering Holder thereof, Exchange Notes in the same aggregate
principal amount as the Initial Notes so surrendered.

            (d) Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global
Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be
effected only through a book-entry system maintained by such Holder (or its
agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Notes represented
thereby shall be required to be reflected in book-entry form. Transfers of a
Global Note shall be limited to transfers in whole and not in part, to DTC, its
successors and their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a
Global Note shall be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of
DTC (or its successors).

     501(a)(1), (2), (3), OR (7) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) ACQUIRING THE
     SECURITIES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR AS A FIDUCIARY OR AGENT FOR OTHERS (WHICH

                           SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, L.P.

                       [5.375/6.35]% NOTE DUE [2008/2012]

     Simon Property Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Issuer,"
which term includes any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or its registered
assigns, the principal sum of [150,000,000/350,000,000] dollars on August 28,
[2008/2012] (the "Maturity Date"), and to pay interest thereon from August 28,
2002, semi-annually in arrears on August 28 and February 28 of each year (each,
an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing on February 28, 2003, and on the
Maturity Date, at the rate of [5.375/6.35]% per annum, until payment of said
principal sum has been made or duly provided for.

     The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any
Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date shall be paid to the Holder in
whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered in the
Security Register applicable to this Note at the close of business on the
"Record Date" for such payment, which shall be the 15th calendar day immediately
prior to such payment date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, regardless
of whether such day is a Business Day (as defined below). Any interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the Holder in whose name
this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on a subsequent record date for the payment of such defaulted interest
(which shall be not less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of the payment
of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf
of the Issuer to the Holders of the Notes not less than 10 calendar days
preceding such subsequent record date, or may be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture (as defined below).
Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

                                       A-2


     Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date and on the
Maturity Date, as the case may be, shall be the amount of interest accrued from
and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or from and
including August 21, 2002, in the case of the initial Interest Payment Date) to
but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the
case may be. If any date for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest
on, or any other amount with respect to, this Note (each a "Payment Date") falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, the principal, premium, if any, or interest
payable with respect to such Payment Date shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Payment Date, and
no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after
such Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. "Business Day" means any
day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banking institutions in New
York, New York are open for business.

     If this Note is exchanged in an Exchange Offer prior to the Record Date for
the first Interest Payment Date following such exchange, accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on this Note, up to but not including the date of issuance of
the Note(s) issued in exchange (the "Exchange Note") for this Note, shall be
paid on the first Interest Payment Date for such Exchange Note(s) to the Holder
or Holders of such Exchange Note(s) on the first Record Date with respect to
such Exchange Note(s). If this Note is exchanged in an Exchange Offer subsequent
to the Record Date for the first Interest Payment Date following such exchange
but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, then any such accrued and unpaid
interest with respect to this Note and any accrued and unpaid interest on the
Exchange Note(s) issued in exchange for this Note, through the day before such
Interest Payment Date, shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder
of this Note on the Record Date.

     The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration
Rights Agreement dated August 21, 2002 (the "Registration Rights Agreement")
among the Issuer and Banc of America Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch & Co.,
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch"), Credit
Suisse First Boston Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., UBS Warburg LLC,
Commerzbank Capital Markets Corp. and Dresdner Kleinwort
Wasserstein-Grantchester, Inc. (collectively, the "Initial Purchasers").

     If the Operating Partnership fails to comply with certain provisions of the
Registration Rights Agreement, in each case as described below, then a special
interest premium (the "Special Interest Premium") shall become payable in
respect of the Notes as follows:

     If (i) a registration statement with respect to the Exchange Notes (the
"Exchange Offer Registration Statement") is not filed with the Commission on or
prior to the 90th day following the Closing Date, (ii) the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 135th day
following the Closing Date or (iii) the Exchange Offer is not consummated or the
shelf registration statement covering resales of the Notes (the "Shelf
Registration Statement") is not declared effective on or prior to the 180th day
following the Closing Date, the Special Interest Premium shall accrue from and
including the next day following each of (a) such 90-day period in the case of
clause (i) above, (b) such 135-day period in the case of clause (ii) above and
(c) such 180-day period in the cause of clause (iii) above, in each case at a
rate equal to 0.50% per annum. The aggregate amount of the Special Interest
Premium payable pursuant to the above provisions shall in no event exceed 0.50%
per annum. If the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared
effective on or prior to the 135th day following the Closing Date and the
Operating Partnership shall request the Holder of this Note to provide the
information called for by the Registration Rights Agreement for inclusion in the
Shelf Registration Statement and the Holder of this Note does not deliver such
information to the Operating Partnership when required pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, then the Holder of this Note shall not be
entitled to any such increase in the interest rate for any day after the 180th
day following the Closing Date. Upon (1) the filing of the Exchange Offer
Registration statement after the 90-day period described in

                                       A-3


clause (i), (2) the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
after the 135-day period described in clause (ii) above or (3) the consummation
of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, as
the case may be, after the 180-day period described in clause (iii) above, the
interest rate on this Note from the date of such effectiveness or consummation,
as the case may be, shall be reduced to the original interest rate provided for
herein.

     If a Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, and if the
Operating Partnership fails to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
continuously (x) effective or (y) useable for resales for the period required by
the Registration Rights Agreement due to certain circumstances relating to
pending corporate developments, public filings with the Commission and similar
events, or because the prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and such
failure continues for more than 60 days (whether or not consecutive) in any
12-month period (the 61st day being referred to as the "Default Day"), then from
the Default Day until the earlier of (i) the date that is the second anniversary
of the Closing Date (or, if Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act is amended to
provide a shorter restrictive period, the end of such shorter period) or (ii)
the date as of which this Note is sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement, the Special Interest Premium shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.50%
per annum.

     The principal of this Note payable on the Maturity Date shall be paid
against presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the
Issuer maintained for that purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York. The Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee in The City of New York as the office to be maintained by it where Notes
may be presented for payment, registration of transfer or exchange, and where
notices to or demands upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes or the Indenture
referred to on the reverse hereof may be served.

     Payments of principal and interest in respect of this Note shall be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds in such coin or currency of the
United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the
payment of public and private debts.

     Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the
reverse hereof after the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication. Such further
provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth
at this place.

     This Note shall not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication
hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee under such Indenture.

     Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined shall have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture and the Tenth
Supplemental Indenture referred to herein.

                                [REVERSE OF NOTE]

                           SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, L.P.

                       [5.375/6.35]% NOTE DUE [2008/2012]

     This security is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of the
Issuer (hereinafter called the "Securities"), issued or to be issued under and
pursuant to an Indenture dated as of November 26, 1996 (herein called the
"Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer to JPMorgan Chase Bank
(formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto relating to this Note
(including, without limitation, the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
August 21, 2002, between the Issuer and the Trustee) reference is hereby made
for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the
Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered and for the definition of capitalized terms used
hereby and not otherwise defined. The Securities may be issued in one or more
series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal
amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different
rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), and may
otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental
thereto. This Security is one of a series designated as the Simon Property
Group, L.P. [5.375/6.35]% Notes due [2008/2012], initially limited in aggregate
principal amount to $[150,000,000/350,000,000] (the "Notes").

     In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred
and be continuing, the principal amount of the Notes and the Make-Whole Amount
may be declared accelerated and thereupon become due and payable, in the manner,
with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

     The Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Issuer, in whole
or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100%
of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Notes. Notice of any optional redemption shall be given to
Holders at their addresses, as shown in the Security Register for the Notes, not
more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The
notice of redemption shall specify, among other items, the redemption price and
the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

     The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be
affected (voting as one class), evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to
execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any
supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
the Securities of each series; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security
so affected, (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or premium, (if
any) or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce
the principal amount thereof or the rate or amount of interest thereon or any
premium payable upon the redemption or acceleration thereof, or adversely affect
any right of repayment at the option of the Holder of any Security, or change
any Place of Payment where, or the currency or currencies, currency unit or
units or composite currency or currencies in which, the principal of any
Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated
Maturity thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid

                                       A-7


percentage of Securities the Holders of which are required to consent to any
such supplemental indenture, or (iii) reduce the percentage of Securities the
Holders of which are required to consent to any waiver of compliance with
certain provisions of the Indenture or any waiver of certain defaults and
consequences thereunder or to reduce the quorum or voting requirements set forth
in the Indenture, or (iv) effect certain other changes to the Indenture or any
supplemental indenture or in the rights of Holders of the Securities. The
Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series (or, in the case of certain defaults or
Events of Default, all series of Securities), on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities of such series (or all of the Securities, as the case may be), to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults or Events of Default under the Indenture and their
consequences, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such
Securities, or subject to certain conditions, rescind a declaration of
acceleration and its consequences with respect to such Securities. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the
Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note that may be issued in exchange or
substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made
upon this Note or such other Note.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on this Note in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in
the coin or currency herein prescribed.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary, no
recourse shall be had, whether by levy or execution or otherwise, for the
payment of any sums due under the Securities, including, without limitation, the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Securities, or for
the payment or performance of any obligation under, or for any claim based on,
the Indenture or otherwise in respect thereof, against any partner of the
Issuer, whether limited or general, including Simon Property Group, Inc. or such
partner's assets or against any principal, shareholder, officer, director,
trustee or employee of such partner. It is expressly understood that the sole
remedies under the Securities and the Indenture or under any other document with
respect to the Securities, against such parties with respect to such amounts,
obligations or claims shall be against the Issuer.

     This Note is issuable only in registered form without Coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. This
Note may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other
authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Issuer in The Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, in the manner and subject to the limitations
provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge, except
for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

     Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the
office or agency of the Issuer in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, one or more new Notes of authorized denominations in an equal aggregate
principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject
to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge, except for any tax
or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

     The Issuer, the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the
Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as
the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal and any premium
hereof or hereon, and subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest
hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor
any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

                                       A-8


     This Note, including the validity hereof, and the Indenture shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such
state, except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law.

     Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined shall have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture and the Tenth
Supplemental Indenture referred to herein.

                           SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, L.P.

                       [5.375/6.35]% NOTE DUE [2008/2012]

     Simon Property Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Issuer,"
which term includes any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or its registered
assigns, the principal sum of [150,000,000/350,000,000] dollars on August 28,
[2008/2012] (the "Maturity Date"), and to pay interest thereon from August 28,
2002, semi-annually in arrears on August 28 and February 28 of each year (each,
an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing on February 28, 2003, and on the
Maturity Date, at the rate of [5.375/6.35]% per annum, until payment of said
principal sum has been made or duly provided for.

     The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any
Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date shall be paid to the Holder in
whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered in the
Security Register applicable to this Note at the close of business on the
"Record Date" for such payment, which shall be the 15th calendar day immediately
prior to such payment date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, regardless
of whether such day is a Business Day (as defined below). Any interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the Holder in whose name
this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on a subsequent record date for the payment of such defaulted interest
(which shall be not less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of the payment
of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf
of the Issuer to the Holders of the Notes not less than 10 calendar days
preceding such subsequent record date, or may be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture (as defined below).
Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

                                       B-2


     Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date and on the
Maturity Date, as the case may be, shall be the amount of interest accrued from
and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or from and
including August 21, 2002, in the case of the initial Interest Payment Date) to
but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the
case may be. If any date for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest
on, or any other amount with respect to, this Note (each a "Payment Date") falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, the principal, premium, if any, or interest
payable with respect to such Payment Date shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Payment Date, and
no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after
such Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. "Business Day" means any
day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banking institutions in New
York, New York are open for business.

     If this Note is exchanged in an Exchange Offer prior to the Record Date for
the first Interest Payment Date following such exchange, accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on this Note, up to but not including the date of issuance of
the Note(s) issued in exchange (the "Exchange Note") for this Note, shall be
paid on the first Interest Payment Date for such Exchange Note(s) to the Holder
or Holders of such Exchange Note(s) on the first Record Date with respect to
such Exchange Note(s). If this Note is exchanged in an Exchange Offer subsequent
to the Record Date for the first Interest Payment Date following such exchange
but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, then any such accrued and unpaid
interest with respect to this Note and any accrued and unpaid interest on the
Exchange Note(s) issued in exchange for this Note, through the day before such
Interest Payment Date, shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder
of this Note on the Record Date.

     The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration
Rights Agreement dated August 21, 2002 (the "Registration Rights Agreement")
among the Issuer and Banc of America Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch & Co.,
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch"), Credit
Suisse First Boston Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., UBS Warburg LLC,
Commerzbank Capital Markets Corp. and Dresdner Kleinwort
Wasserstein-Grantchester, Inc. (collectively, the "Initial Purchasers").

     If the Operating Partnership fails to comply with certain provisions of the
Registration Rights Agreement, in each case as described below, then a special
interest premium (the "Special Interest Premium") shall become payable in
respect of the Notes as follows:

     If (i) a registration statement with respect to the Exchange Notes (the
"Exchange Offer Registration Statement") is not filed with the Commission on or
prior to the 90th day following the Closing Date, (ii) the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 135th day
following the Closing Date or (iii) the Exchange Offer is not consummated or the
shelf registration statement covering resales of the Notes (the "Shelf
Registration Statement") is not declared effective on or prior to the 180th day
following the Closing Date, the Special Interest Premium shall accrue from and
including the next day following each of (a) such 90-day period in the case of
clause (i) above, (b) such 135-day period in the case of clause (ii) above and
(c) such 180-day period in the cause of clause (iii) above, in each case at a
rate equal to 0.50% per annum. The aggregate amount of the Special Interest
Premium payable pursuant to the above provisions shall in no event exceed 0.50%
per annum. If the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared
effective on or prior to the 135th day following the Closing Date and the
Operating Partnership shall request the Holder of this Note to provide the
information called for by the Registration Rights Agreement for inclusion in the
Shelf Registration Statement and the Holder of this Note does not deliver such
information to the Operating Partnership when required pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, then the Holder of this Note shall not be
entitled to any such increase in the interest rate for any day after the 180th
day following the Closing Date. Upon (1) the filing of the Exchange Offer
Registration statement after the 90-day period described in

                                       B-3


clause (i), (2) the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
after the 135-day period described in clause (ii) above or (3) the consummation
of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, as
the case may be, after the 180-day period described in clause (iii) above, the
interest rate on this Note from the date of such effectiveness or consummation,
as the case may be, shall be reduced to the original interest rate provided for
herein.

     If a Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, and if the
Operating Partnership fails to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
continuously (x) effective or (y) useable for resales for the period required by
the Registration Rights Agreement due to certain circumstances relating to
pending corporate developments, public filings with the Commission and similar
events, or because the prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and such
failure continues for more than 60 days (whether or not consecutive) in any
12-month period (the 61st day being referred to as the "Default Day"), then from
the Default Day until the earlier of (i) the date that is the second anniversary
of the Closing Date (or, if Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act is amended to
provide a shorter restrictive period, the end of such shorter period) or (ii)
the date as of which this Note is sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement, the Special Interest Premium shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.50%
per annum.

     The principal of this Note payable on the Maturity Date shall be paid
against presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the
Issuer maintained for that purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York. The Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee in The City of New York as the office to be maintained by it where Notes
may be presented for payment, registration of transfer or exchange, and where
notices to or demands upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes or the Indenture
referred to on the reverse hereof may be served.

     Payments of principal and interest in respect of this Note shall be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds in such coin or currency of the
United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the
payment of public and private debts.

     Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the
reverse hereof after the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication. Such further
provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth
at this place.

     This Note shall not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication
hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee under such Indenture.

     Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined shall have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture and the Tenth
Supplemental Indenture referred to herein.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this instrument to be signed

                           SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, L.P.

                       [5.375/6.35]% NOTE DUE [2008/2012]

     This security is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of the
Issuer (hereinafter called the "Securities"), issued or to be issued under and
pursuant to an Indenture dated as of November 26, 1996 (herein called the
"Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer to JPMorgan Chase Bank
(formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto relating to this Note
(including, without limitation, the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
August 21, 2002, between the Issuer and the Trustee) reference is hereby made
for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the
Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered and for the definition of capitalized terms used
hereby and not otherwise defined. The Securities may be issued in one or more
series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal
amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different
rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), and may
otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental
thereto. This Security is one of a series designated as the Simon Property
Group, L.P. [5.375/6.35]% Notes due [2008/2012], initially limited in aggregate
principal amount to $[150,000,000/350,000,000] (the "Notes").

     In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred
and be continuing, the principal amount of the Notes and the Make-Whole Amount
may be declared accelerated and thereupon become due and payable, in the manner,
with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

     The Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Issuer, in whole
or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100%
of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Notes. Notice of any optional redemption shall be given to
Holders at their addresses, as shown in the Security Register for the Notes, not
more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The
notice of redemption shall specify, among other items, the redemption price and
the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

     The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be
affected (voting as one class), evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to
execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any
supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
the Securities of each series; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security
so affected, (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or premium, (if
any) or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce
the principal amount thereof or the rate or amount of interest thereon or any
premium payable upon the redemption or acceleration thereof, or adversely affect
any right of repayment at the option of the Holder of any Security, or change
any Place of Payment where, or the currency or currencies, currency unit or
units or composite currency or currencies in which, the principal of any
Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated
Maturity thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid

                                       B-7


percentage of Securities the Holders of which are required to consent to any
such supplemental indenture, or (iii) reduce the percentage of Securities the
Holders of which are required to consent to any waiver of compliance with
certain provisions of the Indenture or any waiver of certain defaults and
consequences thereunder or to reduce the quorum or voting requirements set forth
in the Indenture, or (iv) effect certain other changes to the Indenture or any
supplemental indenture or in the rights of Holders of the Securities. The
Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series (or, in the case of certain defaults or
Events of Default, all series of Securities), on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities of such series (or all of the Securities, as the case may be), to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults or Events of Default under the Indenture and their
consequences, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such
Securities, or subject to certain conditions, rescind a declaration of
acceleration and its consequences with respect to such Securities. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the
Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note that may be issued in exchange or

                       [5.375/6.35]% NOTE DUE [2008/2012]

     Simon Property Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Issuer,"
which term includes any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to _____________________________, or
registered assigns, the principal sum of ____________________ dollars on August
28, [2008/2012] (the "Maturity Date"), and to pay interest thereon from August
21, 2002, semi-annually in arrears on August 28 and February 28 of each year
(each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing on February 28, 2003, and on the
Maturity Date, at the rate of [5.375/6.35]% per annum, until payment of said
principal sum has been made or duly provided for.

     The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any
Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date shall be paid to the Holder in
whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered in the
Security Register applicable to this Note at the close of business on the
"Record Date" for such payment, which shall be the 15th calendar day immediately
prior to such payment date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, regardless
of whether such day is a Business Day (as defined below). Any interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the Holder in whose name
this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on a subsequent record date for the payment of such defaulted interest
(which shall be not less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of the payment
of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf
of the Issuer to the Holders of the Notes not less than 10 calendar days
preceding such subsequent record date, or may be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture (as defined below).
Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

     Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date and on the
Maturity Date, as the case may be, shall be the amount of interest accrued from
and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or from and
including August 21, 2002, in the case of the initial Interest Payment Date) to
but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the
case may be. If any date for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest
on, or any other amount with respect to, this Note (each a "Payment Date") falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, the principal, premium, if any, or interest
payable with respect to such Payment Date shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Payment Date, and
no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after
such Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. "Business Day" means any
day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banking institutions in New
York, New York are open for business.

     If this Note is exchanged in an Exchange Offer prior to the Record Date for
the first Interest Payment Date following such exchange, accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on this Note, up to but not including the date of issuance of
the Note(s) issued in exchange (the "Exchange Note") for this Note, shall be
paid on the first Interest Payment Date for such Exchange Note(s) to the Holder
or Holders of such Exchange Note(s) on the first Record Date with respect to
such Exchange Note(s). If this Note is

                                       C-2


exchanged in an Exchange Offer subsequent to the Record Date for the first
Interest Payment Date following such exchange but on or prior to the Interest
Payment Date, then any such accrued and unpaid interest with respect to this
Note and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchange Note(s) issued in
exchange for this Note, through the day before such Interest Payment Date, shall
be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of this Note on the Record
Date.

     The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration
Rights Agreement dated August 21, 2002 (the "Registration Rights Agreement")
among the Issuer and Banc of America Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch & Co.,
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch"), Credit
Suisse First Boston Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., UBS Warburg LLC,
Commerzbank Capital Markets Corp. and Dresdner Kleinwort
Wasserstein-Grantchester, Inc. (collectively, the "Initial Purchasers").

     If the Operating Partnership fails to comply with certain provisions of the
Registration Rights Agreement, in each case as described below, then a special
interest premium (the "Special Interest Premium") shall become payable in
respect of the Notes as follows:

     If (i) a registration statement with respect to the Exchange Notes (the
"Exchange Offer Registration Statement") is not filed with the Commission on or
prior to the 90th day following the Closing Date, (ii) the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 135th day
following the Closing Date or (iii) the Exchange Offer is not consummated or the
shelf registration statement covering resales of the Notes (the "Shelf
Registration Statement") is not declared effective on or prior to the 180th day
following the Closing Date, the Special Interest Premium shall accrue from and
including the next day following each of (a) such 90-day period in the case of
clause (i) above, (b) such 135-day period in the case of clause (ii) above and
(c) such 180-day period in the cause of clause (iii) above, in each case at a
rate equal to 0.50% per annum. The aggregate amount of the Special Interest
Premium payable pursuant to the above provisions shall in no event exceed 0.50%
per annum. If the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared
effective on or prior to the 135th day following the Closing Date and the
Operating Partnership shall request the Holder of this Note to provide the
information called for by the Registration Rights Agreement for inclusion in the
Shelf Registration Statement and the Holder of this Note does not deliver such
information to the Operating Partnership when required pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, then the Holder of this Note shall not be
entitled to any such increase in the interest rate for any day after the 180th
day following the Closing Date. Upon (1) the filing of the Exchange Offer
Registration statement after the 90-day period described in clause (i), (2) the
effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 135-day
period described in clause (ii) above or (3) the consummation of the Exchange
Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may
be, after the 180-day period described in clause (iii) above, the interest rate
on this Note from the date of such effectiveness or consummation, as the case
may be, shall be reduced to the original interest rate provided for herein.

     If a Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, and if the
Operating Partnership fails to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
continuously (x) effective or (y) useable for resales for the period required by
the Registration Rights Agreement due to certain circumstances relating to
pending corporate developments, public filings with the Commission and similar
events, or because the prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and such
failure continues for more than 60 days (whether or not consecutive) in any
12-month period (the 61st day being referred to as the "Default Day"), then from
the Default Day until the earlier of (i) the date that is the second anniversary
of the Closing Date (or, if Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act is amended to
provide a shorter restrictive period, the end of such shorter period) or (ii)
the date as of which this Note is sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement, the Special Interest Premium shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.50%
per annum.

                                       C-3

                                [REVERSE OF NOTE]

                           SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, L.P.

                       [5.375/6.35]% NOTE DUE [2008/2012]

     This security is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of the
Issuer (hereinafter called the "Securities"), issued or to be issued under and
pursuant to an Indenture dated as of November 26, 1996 (herein called the
"Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer to JPMorgan Chase Bank
(formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto relating to this Note
(including, without limitation, the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
August 21, 2002, between the Issuer and the Trustee) reference is hereby made
for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the
Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered and for the definition of capitalized terms used
hereby and not otherwise defined. The Securities may be issued in one or more
series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal
amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different
rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), and may
otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental
thereto. This Security is one of a series designated as the Simon Property
Group, L.P. [5.375/6.35]% Notes due [2008/2012], initially limited in aggregate
principal amount to $[150,000,000/350,000,000] (the "Notes").

     In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred
and be continuing, the principal amount of the Notes and the Make-Whole Amount
may be declared accelerated and thereupon become due and payable, in the manner,
with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

     The Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Issuer, in whole
or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100%
of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Notes. Notice of any optional redemption shall be given to
Holders at their addresses, as shown in the Security Register for the Notes, not
more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The
notice of redemption shall specify, among other items, the redemption price and
the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

     The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be
affected (voting as one class), evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to
execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any
supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
the Securities of each series; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security
so affected, (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or premium, (if
any) or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce
the principal amount thereof or the rate or amount of interest thereon or any
premium payable upon the redemption or acceleration thereof, or adversely affect
any right of repayment at the option of the Holder of any Security, or change
any Place of Payment where, or the currency or currencies, currency unit or
units or composite currency or currencies in which, the principal of any
Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated
Maturity thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid

                                       C-7


percentage of Securities the Holders of which are required to consent to any
such supplemental indenture, or (iii) reduce the percentage of Securities the
Holders of which are required to consent to any waiver of compliance with
certain provisions of the Indenture or any waiver of certain defaults and
consequences thereunder or to reduce the quorum or voting requirements set forth
in the Indenture, or (iv) effect certain other changes to the Indenture or any
supplemental indenture or in the rights of Holders of the Securities. The
Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series (or, in the case of certain defaults or
Events of Default, all series of Securities), on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities of such series (or all of the Securities, as the case may be), to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults or Events of Default under the Indenture and their
consequences, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such
Securities, or subject to certain conditions, rescind a declaration of
acceleration and its consequences with respect to such Securities. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the
Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note that may be issued in exchange or
substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made
upon this Note or such other Note.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on this Note in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in
the coin or currency herein prescribed.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary, no
recourse shall be had, whether by levy or execution or otherwise, for the
payment of any sums due under the Securities, including, without limitation, the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Securities, or for
the payment or performance of any obligation under, or for any claim based on,
the Indenture or otherwise in respect thereof, against any partner of the
Issuer, whether limited or general, including Simon Property Group, Inc. or such
partner's assets or against any principal, shareholder, officer, director,
trustee or employee of such partner. It is expressly understood that the sole
remedies under the Securities and the Indenture or under any other document with
respect to the Securities, against such parties with respect to such amounts,
obligations or claims shall be against the Issuer.

     This Note is issuable only in registered form without Coupons in
denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
This Note may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of
other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Issuer in The
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in the manner and subject to the
limitations provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service
charge, except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection
therewith.

     Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the
office or agency of the Issuer in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, one or more new Notes of authorized denominations in an equal aggregate
principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject
to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge, except for any tax
or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

     The Issuer, the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the
Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as
the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal and any premium
hereof or hereon, and subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest
hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor
any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,

state, except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law.

     Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined shall have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture and the Tenth
Supplemental Indenture referred to herein.

this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on a subsequent record date for the payment of such defaulted interest
(which shall be not less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of the payment
of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf
of the Issuer to the Holders of the Notes not less than 10 calendar days
preceding such subsequent record date, or may be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
on

which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture (as defined below).
Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

     Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date and on the
Maturity Date, as the case may be, shall be the amount of interest accrued from
and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or from and
including August 21, 2002, in the case of the initial Interest Payment Date) to
but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the
case may be. If any date for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest
on, or any other amount with respect to, this Note (each a "Payment Date") falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, the principal, premium, if any, or interest
payable with respect to such Payment Date shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Payment Date, and
no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after
such Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. "Business Day" means any
day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banking institutions in New
York, New York are open for business.

the first Interest Payment Date following such exchange, accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on this Note, up to but not including the date of issuance of
the Note(s) issued in exchange (the "Exchange Note") for this Note, shall be
paid on the first Interest Payment Date for such Exchange Note(s) to the Holder
or Holders of such Exchange Note(s) on the first Record Date with respect to
such Exchange Note(s). If this Note is exchanged in an Exchange Offer subsequent
to the Record Date for the first Interest Payment Date following such exchange
but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, then any such accrued and unpaid
interest with respect to this Note and any accrued and unpaid interest on the
Exchange Note(s) issued in exchange for this Note, through the day before such
Interest Payment Date, shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder
of this Note on the Record Date.

     The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration
Rights Agreement dated August 21, 2002 (the "Registration Rights Agreement")
among the Issuer and Banc of America Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch & Co.,

Suisse First Boston Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., UBS Warburg LLC,
Commerzbank Capital Markets Corp. and Dresdner Kleinwort
Wasserstein-Grantchester, Inc. (collectively, the "Initial Purchasers").

     If the Operating Partnership fails to comply with certain provisions of the
Registration Rights Agreement, in each case as described below, then a special
interest premium (the "Special Interest Premium") shall become payable in
respect of the Notes as follows:

     If (i) a registration statement with respect to the Exchange Notes (the
"Exchange Offer Registration Statement") is not filed with the Commission on or
prior to the 90th day following the Closing Date, (ii) the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 135th day
following the Closing Date or (iii) the Exchange Offer is not consummated or the
shelf registration statement covering resales of the Notes (the "Shelf
Registration Statement") is not declared effective on or prior to the 180th day
following the Closing Date, the Special Interest Premium shall accrue from and
including the next day following each of (a) such 90-day period in the case of
clause (i) above, (b) such 135-day period in the case of clause (ii) above and
(c) such 180-day period in the cause of clause (iii) above, in each case at a
rate equal to 0.50% per annum. The aggregate amount of the Special Interest
Premium payable pursuant to the above provisions shall in no event exceed 0.50%
per annum. If the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared
effective on or prior to the 135th day following the Closing Date and the
Operating Partnership shall request the Holder of this Note to provide the
information called for by the Registration Rights Agreement for inclusion in the
Shelf Registration

                                       D-2


Statement and the Holder of this Note does not deliver such information to the
Operating Partnership when required pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement, then the Holder of this Note shall not be entitled to any such
increase in the interest rate for any day after the 180th day following the
Closing Date. Upon (1) the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration statement
after the 90-day period described in clause (i), (2) the effectiveness of the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 135-day period described in
clause (ii) above or (3) the consummation of the Exchange Offer or the
effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, after the
180-day period described in clause (iii) above, the interest rate on this Note
from the date of such effectiveness or consummation, as the case may be, shall
be reduced to the original interest rate provided for herein.

     If a Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, and if the
Operating Partnership fails to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
continuously (x) effective or (y) useable for resales for the period required by
the Registration Rights Agreement due to certain circumstances relating to
pending corporate developments, public filings with the Commission and similar
events, or because the prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and such
failure continues for more than 60 days (whether or not consecutive) in any
12-month period (the 61st day being referred to as the "Default Day"), then from
the Default Day until the earlier of (i) the date that is the second anniversary
of the Closing Date (or, if Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act is amended to
provide a shorter restrictive period, the end of such shorter period) or (ii)
the date as of which this Note is sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement, the Special Interest Premium shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.50%
per annum.

     The principal of this Note payable on the Maturity Date shall be paid
against presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the
Issuer maintained for that purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York. The Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee in The City of New York as the office to be maintained by it where Notes
may be presented for payment, registration of transfer or exchange, and where
notices to or demands upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes or the Indenture
referred to on the reverse hereof may be served.

     Payments of principal and interest in respect of this Note shall be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds in such coin or currency of the
United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the
payment of public and private debts.

     Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the
reverse hereof after the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication. Such further
provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth
at this place.

     This Note shall not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication
hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee under such Indenture.

     Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined shall have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture and the Tenth
Supplemental Indenture referred to herein.

                           SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, L.P.

                       [5.375/6.35]% NOTE DUE [2008/2012]

     This security is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of the
Issuer (hereinafter called the "Securities"), issued or to be issued under and
pursuant to an Indenture dated as of November 26, 1996 (herein called the
"Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer to JPMorgan Chase Bank
(formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto relating to this Note
(including, without limitation, the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
August 21, 2002, between the Issuer and the Trustee) reference is hereby made
for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the
Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered and for the definition of capitalized terms used
hereby and not otherwise defined. The Securities may be issued in one or more
series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal
amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different
rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), and may
otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental
thereto. This Security is one of a series designated as the Simon Property
Group, L.P. [5.375/6.35]% Notes due [2008/2012], initially limited in aggregate
principal amount to $[150,000,000/350,000,000] (the "Notes").

     In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred
and be continuing, the principal amount of the Notes and the Make-Whole Amount
may be declared accelerated and thereupon become due and payable, in the manner,
with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

     The Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Issuer, in whole
or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100%
of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Notes. Notice of any optional redemption shall be given to
Holders at their addresses, as shown in the Security Register for the Notes, not
more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The
notice of redemption shall specify, among other items, the redemption price and
the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

     The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be
affected (voting as one class), evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to
execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any
supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
the Securities of each series; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security
so affected, (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or premium, (if
any) or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce
the principal amount thereof or the rate or amount of interest thereon or any
premium payable upon the redemption or acceleration thereof, or adversely affect
any right of repayment at the option of the Holder of any Security, or change
any Place of Payment where, or the currency or currencies, currency unit or
units or composite currency or currencies in which, the principal of any
Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated
Maturity thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid

                                       D-6


percentage of Securities the Holders of which are required to consent to any
such supplemental indenture, or (iii) reduce the percentage of Securities the
Holders of which are required to consent to any waiver of compliance with
certain provisions of the Indenture or any waiver of certain defaults and
consequences thereunder or to reduce the quorum or voting requirements set forth
in the Indenture, or (iv) effect certain other changes to the Indenture or any
supplemental indenture or in the rights of Holders of the Securities. The
Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series (or, in the case of certain defaults or
Events of Default, all series of Securities), on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities of such series (or all of the Securities, as the case may be), to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults or Events of Default under the Indenture and their
consequences, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such
Securities, or subject to certain conditions, rescind a declaration of
acceleration and its consequences with respect to such Securities. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the
Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note that may be issued in exchange or
substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made
upon this Note or such other Note.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on this Note in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in
the coin or currency herein prescribed.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary, no
recourse shall be had, whether by levy or execution or otherwise, for the
payment of any sums due under the Securities, including, without limitation, the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Securities, or for
the payment or performance of any obligation under, or for any claim based on,
the Indenture or otherwise in respect thereof, against any partner of the
Issuer, whether limited or general, including Simon Property Group, Inc. or such
partner's assets or against any principal, shareholder, officer, director,
trustee or employee of such partner. It is expressly understood that the sole
remedies under the Securities and the Indenture or under any other document with
respect to the Securities, against such parties with respect to such amounts,
obligations or claims shall be against the Issuer.

     This Note is issuable only in registered form without Coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. This
Note may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other
authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Issuer in The Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, in the manner and subject to the limitations
provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge, except
for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

     Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the
office or agency of the Issuer in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, one or more new Notes of authorized denominations in an equal aggregate
principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject
to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge, except for any tax
or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

     The Issuer, the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the
Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as
the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal and any premium
hereof or hereon, and subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest
hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor
any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

     This Note, including the validity hereof, and the Indenture shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such
state, except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law.

     Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined shall have

Supplemental Indenture referred to herein.

                           SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, L.P.

                       [5.375/6.35]% NOTE DUE [2008/2012]

     Simon Property Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Issuer,"
which term includes any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to _____________________________, or
registered assigns, the principal sum of ____________________ dollars on August
28, [2008/2012] (the "Maturity Date"), and to pay interest thereon from August
21, 2002, semi-annually in arrears on August 28 and February 28 of each year
(each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing on February 28, 2003, and on the
Maturity Date, at the rate of [5.375/6.35]% per annum, until payment of said
principal sum has been made or duly provided for.

     The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any
Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date shall be paid to the Holder in
whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered in the
Security Register applicable to this Note at the close of business on the
"Record Date" for such payment, which shall be the 15th calendar day immediately
prior to such payment date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, regardless
of whether such day is a Business Day (as defined below). Any interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the Holder in whose name
this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on a subsequent record date for the payment of such defaulted interest
(which shall be not less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of the payment
of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf
of the Issuer to the Holders of the Notes not less than 10 calendar days
preceding such subsequent record date, or may be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture (as defined below).
Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

     Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date and on the
Maturity Date, as the case may be, shall be the amount of interest accrued from
and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or from and
including August 21, 2002, in the case of the initial Interest Payment Date) to
but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the
case may be. If any date for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest
on, or any other amount with respect to, this Note (each a "Payment Date") falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, the principal, premium, if any, or interest
payable with respect to such Payment Date shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Payment Date, and
no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after
such Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. "Business Day" means any
day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banking institutions in New
York, New York are open for business.

                                       E-1


     If this Note is exchanged in an Exchange Offer prior to the Record Date for
the first Interest Payment Date following such exchange, accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on this Note, up to but not including the date of issuance of
the Note(s) issued in exchange (the "Exchange Note") for this Note, shall be
paid on the first Interest Payment Date for such Exchange Note(s) to the Holder
or Holders of such Exchange Note(s) on the first Record Date with respect to
such Exchange Note(s). If this Note is exchanged in an Exchange Offer subsequent
to the Record Date for the first Interest Payment Date following such exchange
but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, then any such accrued and unpaid
interest with respect to this Note and any accrued and unpaid interest on the
Exchange Note(s) issued in exchange for this Note, through the day before such
Interest Payment Date, shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder
of this Note on the Record Date.

     The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration
Rights Agreement dated August 21, 2002 (the "Registration Rights Agreement")
among the Issuer and Banc of America Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch & Co.,
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch"), Credit
Suisse First Boston Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., UBS Warburg LLC,
Commerzbank Capital Markets Corp. and Dresdner Kleinwort
Wasserstein-Grantchester, Inc. (collectively, the "Initial Purchasers").

     If the Operating Partnership fails to comply with certain provisions of the
Registration Rights Agreement, in each case as described below, then a special
interest premium (the "Special Interest Premium") shall become payable in
respect of the Notes as follows:

     If (i) a registration statement with respect to the Exchange Notes (the
"Exchange Offer Registration Statement") is not filed with the Commission on or
prior to the 90th day following the Closing Date, (ii) the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 135th day
following the Closing Date or (iii) the Exchange Offer is not consummated or the
shelf registration statement covering resales of the Notes (the "Shelf
Registration Statement") is not declared effective on or prior to the 180th day
following the Closing Date, the Special Interest Premium shall accrue from and
including the next day following each of (a) such 90-day period in the case of
clause (i) above, (b) such 135-day period in the case of clause (ii) above and
(c) such 180-day period in the cause of clause (iii) above, in each case at a
rate equal to 0.50% per annum. The aggregate amount of the Special Interest
Premium payable pursuant to the above provisions shall in no event exceed 0.50%
per annum. If the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared
effective on or prior to the 135th day following the Closing Date and the
Operating Partnership shall request the Holder of this Note to provide the
information called for by the Registration Rights Agreement for inclusion in the
Shelf Registration Statement and the Holder of this Note does not deliver such
information to the Operating Partnership when required pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, then the Holder of this Note shall not be
entitled to any such increase in the interest rate for any day after the 180th
day following the Closing Date. Upon (1) the filing of the Exchange Offer
Registration statement after the 90-day period described in clause (i), (2) the
effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 135-day
period described in clause (ii) above or (3) the consummation of the Exchange
Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may
be, after the 180-day period described in clause (iii) above, the interest rate
on this Note from the date of such effectiveness or consummation, as the case
may be, shall be reduced to the original interest rate provided for herein.

     If a Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, and if the
Operating Partnership fails to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
continuously (x) effective or (y) useable for resales for the period required by
the Registration Rights Agreement due to certain circumstances relating to
pending corporate developments, public filings with the Commission and similar
events, or because the prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and such
failure continues for more than

                                       E-2


60 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period (the 61st day being

144(k) of the Securities Act is amended to provide a shorter restrictive period,
the end of such shorter period) or (ii) the date as of which this Note is sold
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Special Interest Premium shall

                                [REVERSE OF NOTE]

                           SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, L.P.

                       [5.375/6.35]% NOTE DUE [2008/2012]

     This security is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of the
Issuer (hereinafter called the "Securities"), issued or to be issued under and
pursuant to an Indenture dated as of November 26, 1996 (herein called the
"Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer to JPMorgan Chase Bank
(formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto relating to this Note
(including, without limitation, the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
August 21, 2002, between the Issuer and the Trustee) reference is hereby made
for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the
Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered and for the definition of capitalized terms used
hereby and not otherwise defined. The Securities may be issued in one or more
series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal
amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different
rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), and may
otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental
thereto. This Security is one of a series designated as the Simon Property
Group, L.P. [5.375/6.35]% Notes due [2008/2012], initially limited in aggregate
principal amount to $[150,000,000/350,000,000] (the "Notes").

     In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred
and be continuing, the principal amount of the Notes and the Make-Whole Amount
may be declared accelerated and thereupon become due and payable, in the manner,
with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

     The Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Issuer, in whole
or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100%
of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Notes. Notice of any optional redemption shall be given to
Holders at their addresses, as shown in the Security Register for the Notes, not
more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The
notice of redemption shall specify, among other items, the redemption price and
the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

     The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be
affected (voting as one class), evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to
execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any
supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
the Securities of each series; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security
so affected, (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or premium, (if
any) or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce
the principal amount thereof or the rate or amount of interest thereon or any
premium payable upon the redemption or acceleration thereof, or adversely affect
any right of repayment at the option of the Holder of any Security, or change
any Place of Payment where, or the currency or currencies, currency unit or
units or composite currency or currencies in which, the principal of any
Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated
Maturity thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid

                                       E-6


percentage of Securities the Holders of which are required to consent to any
such supplemental indenture, or (iii) reduce the percentage of Securities the
Holders of which are required to consent to any waiver of compliance with
certain provisions of the Indenture or any waiver of certain defaults and
consequences thereunder or to reduce the quorum or voting requirements set forth
in the Indenture, or (iv) effect certain other changes to the Indenture or any
supplemental indenture or in the rights of Holders of the Securities. The
Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series (or, in the case of certain defaults or
Events of Default, all series of Securities), on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities of such series (or all of the Securities, as the case may be), to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults or Events of Default under the Indenture and their
consequences, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such
Securities, or subject to certain conditions, rescind a declaration of
acceleration and its consequences with respect to such Securities. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the
Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note that may be issued in exchange or
substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made
upon this Note or such other Note.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on this Note in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in
the coin or currency herein prescribed.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary, no
recourse shall be had, whether by levy or execution or otherwise, for the
payment of any sums due under the Securities, including, without limitation, the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Securities, or for
the payment or performance of any obligation under, or for any claim based on,
the Indenture or otherwise in respect thereof, against any partner of the
Issuer, whether limited or general, including Simon Property Group, Inc. or such
partner's assets or against any principal, shareholder, officer, director,
trustee or employee of such partner. It is expressly understood that the sole
remedies under the Securities and the Indenture or under any other document with
respect to the Securities, against such parties with respect to such amounts,
obligations or claims shall be against the Issuer.

     This Note is issuable only in registered form without Coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. This
Note may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other
authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Issuer in The Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, in the manner and subject to the limitations
provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge, except
for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

     Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the
office or agency of the Issuer in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, one or more new Notes of authorized denominations in an equal aggregate
principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject
to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge, except for any tax
or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

     The Issuer, the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the
Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as
the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal and any premium
hereof or hereon, and subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest
hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor
any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

                                       E-7


     This Note, including the validity hereof, and the Indenture shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,

state, except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law.

     Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined shall have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture and the Tenth
Supplemental Indenture referred to herein.

any similar rule that may be adopted by the SEC, and all amendments and
supplements to such registration statement, including post-effective amendments,
in each case including the Prospectus contained therein, all exhibits thereto
and all material incorporated by reference therein.

     2.   REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT.

          2.1    EXCHANGE OFFER. The Operating Partnership shall, for the
benefit of the Holders, at the Operating Partnership's cost, (A) use its
reasonable best efforts to prepare and, as soon as practicable but not later
than 90 days after the Closing Date, file with the SEC an Exchange Offer
Registration Statement on an appropriate form under the 1933 Act with respect to
a proposed Exchange Offer and the issuance and delivery to the Holders, in
exchange for the Registrable Securities (other than Private Exchange
Securities), of a like principal amount of Exchange Securities, (B) use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be
declared effective under the 1933 Act within 135 days of the Closing Date, (C)
use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement effective until the closing of the Exchange Offer, and (D) use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be consummated not later
than 180 days following the Closing Date. The Exchange Securities shall be
issued under the Indenture. Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, the Operating Partnership shall promptly commence the
Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Exchange Offer to enable each
Holder eligible and electing to exchange Registrable Securities for Exchange
Securities (assuming that such Holder (a) is not an affiliate of the Operating
Partnership within the meaning of Rule 405 under the 1933 Act, (b) is not a
broker-dealer tendering Registrable Securities acquired directly from the
Operating Partnership for its own account, (c) acquired the Exchange Securities
in the ordinary course of such Holder's business, or (d) has no arrangements or
understandings with any Person to participate in the Exchange Offer for the
purpose of distributing the Exchange Securities) to transfer such Exchange
Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions
under the 1933 Act and under state securities or blue sky laws.

     In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Operating Partnership shall:

     (a)  mail as promptly as practicable to each Holder a copy of the
Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together
with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;

     (b)  keep the Exchange Offer open for acceptance for a period of not less
than 30 calendar days after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders (or
longer if required by applicable law) (such period referred to herein as the
"Exchange Period");

     (c)  utilize the services of the Depositary for the Exchange Offer;

     (d)  permit Holders to withdraw tendered Registrable Securities at any time
prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), on the last business day of the Exchange
Period, by sending to the institution specified in the notice, a telegram,
telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder,
the principal amount of Registrable Securities delivered for exchange, and a
statement that such Holder is withdrawing such Holder's election to have such
Securities exchanged;

     (e)  notify each Holder that any Registrable Security not tendered shall
remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest, but shall not retain any
rights under this Agreement (except in the case of the Initial Purchasers and
Participating Broker-Dealers as provided herein); and

     (f)  otherwise comply in all respects with all applicable laws relating to
the Exchange Offer.

     If, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Initial Purchasers
hold any Securities acquired by them and having the status of an unsold
allotment in the initial distribution, the Operating Partnership upon the
request of any Initial Purchaser shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the
Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer, issue and deliver to such Initial
Purchaser in exchange (the

                                        5


"Private Exchange") for the Securities held by such Initial Purchaser, a like
principal amount of debt securities of the Operating Partnership that are
identical (except that such securities shall bear appropriate transfer
restrictions) to the Exchange Securities (the "Private Exchange Securities").

     The Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities shall be issued
under (i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical in all material respects
to the Indenture and which, in either case, has been qualified under the TIA, or
is exempt from such qualification and shall provide that the Exchange Securities
shall not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture but
that the Private Exchange Securities shall be subject to such transfer
restrictions. The Indenture or such indenture shall provide that the Exchange
Securities, the Private Exchange Securities and the Securities shall vote and
consent together on all matters as one class and that none of the Exchange
Securities, the Private Exchange Securities or the Securities shall have the
right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. The Private Exchange
Securities shall be of the same series as and the Operating Partnership shall
use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the Private Exchange Securities
bear the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Securities. The Operating Partnership
shall not have any liability under this Agreement solely as a result of such
Private Exchange Securities not bearing the same CUSIP number as the Exchange
Securities.

     As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer and/or the
Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Operating Partnership shall:

          (i)    accept for exchange all Registrable Securities duly tendered
and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer in accordance with the
terms of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the letter of transmittal
which shall be an exhibit thereto;

          (ii)   accept for exchange all Securities properly tendered pursuant
to the Private Exchange;

          (iii)  deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable
Securities so accepted for exchange; and

          (iv)   cause the Trustee promptly to authenticate and deliver Exchange
Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, to each Holder of
Registrable Securities so accepted for exchange in a principal amount equal to
the principal amount of the Registrable Securities of such Holder so accepted
for exchange.

     Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security shall
accrue from the last date on which interest was paid on the Registrable
Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on
the Registrable Securities, from the date of original issuance. The Exchange
Offer and the Private Exchange shall not be subject to any conditions, other
than (i) that the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, or the making of any
exchange by a Holder, does not violate applicable law or any applicable
interpretation of the staff of the SEC, (ii) the due tendering of Registrable
Securities in accordance with the Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange, (iii)
that each Holder of Registrable Securities exchanged in the Exchange Offer shall
have represented that all Exchange Securities to be received by it shall be
acquired in the ordinary course of its business and that at the time of the
consummation of the Exchange Offer it shall have no arrangement or understanding
with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the
1933 Act) of the Exchange Securities and shall have made such other
representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules,
regulations or interpretations to render the use of Form S-4 or other
appropriate form under the 1933 Act available, and (iv) that no action or
proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by or before
any governmental agency with respect to the Exchange Offer or the Private
Exchange which, in the Operating Partnership's judgment, would reasonably be
expected to impair the ability of the Operating

                                        6


Partnership to proceed with the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange. The
Operating Partnership shall inform the Initial Purchasers of the names and
addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made, and the Initial
Purchasers shall have the right to contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate
the tender of Registrable Securities in the Exchange Offer.

          2.2    SHELF REGISTRATION.

     (a)  If, because of any changes in law, SEC rules or regulations or
applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the SEC, the Operating
Partnership is not permitted to effect the Exchange Offer as contemplated by
Section 2.1 hereof, (ii) if for any other reason the Exchange Offer is not
consummated within 180 days after the original issue of the Registrable
Securities, or (iii) if a Holder is not permitted to participate in the Exchange
Offer or does not receive fully tradeable Exchange Securities pursuant to the
Exchange Offer (other than due solely to the status of such holder as an
affiliate of the Operating Partnership within the meaning of the 1933 Act or as
a broker dealer), then in case of each of clauses (i) through (iii) the
Operating Partnership shall (x) promptly deliver to the holders written notice
thereof and (y) at the Operating Partnership's sole expense:

     (b)  As promptly as practicable, (but in no event more than 60 days after
so required or requested pursuant to this Agreement) file with the SEC, and
thereafter shall use its best efforts to cause to be declared effective as
promptly as practicable but no later than 180 days after the original issue of
the Registrable Securities, a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer
and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders from time to time in
accordance with the methods of distribution elected by the Majority Holders
participating in the Shelf Registration and set forth in such Shelf Registration
Statement.

     (c)  Use its best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective in order to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to
be usable by Holders for a period of two years from the date the Shelf
Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, or for such shorter
period that will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement or cease to be outstanding or otherwise to be Registrable Securities
(the "Effectiveness Period"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Effectiveness Period
in respect of the Shelf Registration Statement shall be extended to the extent
required to permit dealers to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery
requirements of Rule 174 under the 1933 Act and as otherwise provided herein.

     (d)  Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, use its best efforts to
ensure that (i) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and
any Prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all
material respects with the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder,
(ii) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when
it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and (iii) any Prospectus forming part of any
Shelf Registration Statement, and any supplement to such Prospectus (as amended
or supplemented from time to time), does not include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

     No Holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to include any of its
Registrable Securities in any Shelf Registration pursuant to this Agreement
unless and until such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all of the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder and furnishes to the
Operating Partnership in writing within 15 days after receipt of a request
therefor, such information as the Operating Partnership may, after conferring
with counsel, reasonably request for inclusion in any Shelf Registration

                                        7


Statement or Prospectus included therein. Each Holder as to which any Shelf
Registration is being effected agrees to furnish to the Operating Partnership
all information with respect to such Holder necessary to make the information
previously furnished to the Operating Partnership by such Holder not materially
misleading.

     The Operating Partnership shall not permit any securities other than
Registrable Securities to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement. The
Operating Partnership further agrees, if necessary, to supplement or amend the
Shelf Registration Statement, as required by Section 3(b) below, and to furnish
to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or
amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.

          2.3    EXPENSES. The Operating Partnership shall pay all Registration
Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section
2.2. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and
transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder's
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

          2.4    EFFECTIVENESS.

     (a)  The Operating Partnership shall be deemed not to have used its best
efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf
Registration Statement, as the case may be, to become, or to remain, effective
during the requisite period if the Operating Partnership voluntarily takes any
action that would, or omits to take any action which omission would, result in
any such Registration Statement not being declared effective or in the Holders
of Registrable Securities covered thereby not being able to exchange or offer
and sell such Registrable Securities during that period as and to the extent
contemplated hereby, unless such action is required by applicable law.

     (b)  An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1
hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall
not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by
the SEC; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if, after it has been declared effective, the
offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or a Shelf Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop
order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other
governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement shall be deemed not to
have become effective during the period of such interference, until the offering
of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally
resume.

          2.5    INTEREST. The Indenture executed in connection with the
Securities shall provide that if (i) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the 90th day following the
Closing Date, (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared
effective on or prior to the 135th day following the Closing Date or (iii) the
Exchange Offer is not consummated or the Shelf Registration Statement is not
declared effective on or prior to the 180th day following the Closing Date, the
Special Interest Premium shall accrue from and including the next day following
each of (a) such 90 day period in the case of clause (i) above, (b) such 135-day
period in the case of clause (ii) above and (c) such 180-day period in the case
of clause (iii) above, in each case at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. The
aggregate amount of the Special Interest Premium payable pursuant to the above
provisions shall in no event exceed 0.50% per annum. If the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 135th day
following the Closing Date and the Operating Partnership shall request holders
of Securities to provide the information called for by the Registration Rights
Agreement referred to herein for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement,
the Securities owned by holders who do not deliver such information to the
Operating Partnership when required pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement shall not be entitled to any such increase in the interest rate for
any day after the 180th day following the Closing Date. Upon (1) the filing of
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 90-day period described in
clause (i) above, (2) the

                                        8


effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 135-day
period described in clause (ii) above or (3) the consummation of the Exchange
Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may
be, after the 180-day period described in clause (iii) above, the interest rate
on each series of Securities from the date of such effectiveness or
consummation, as the case may be, shall be reduced to the original interest
rate.

     If a Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective pursuant to the
foregoing paragraphs, and if the Operating Partnership fails to keep such Shelf
Registration Statement continuously (x) effective or (y) useable for resales for
the period required by this Agreement due to certain circumstances relating to
pending corporate developments, public filings with the Commission and similar
events, or because the Prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and such
failure continues for more than 60 days (whether or not consecutive) in any
12-month period (the 61st day being referred to as the "Default Day"), then from
the Default Day until the earlier of (i) the date that the Shelf Registration
Statement is again deemed effective or is useable, (ii) the date that is the
second anniversary of the Closing Date (or, if Rule 144(k) is amended to provide
a shorter restrictive period, the end of such shorter period) or (iii) the date
as of which all the Securities are sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement, the Special Interest Premium shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.50%
per annum.

     If the Operating Partnership fails to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective or useable for resales pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, it shall give the Holders notice to suspend the sale of the
Securities and shall extend the relevant period referred to above during which
the Operating Partnership is required to keep effective the Shelf Registration
Statement (or the period during which Participating Broker-Dealers are entitled
to use the prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in
connection with the resale of Exchange Securities, as the case may be) by the
number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of
such notice to and including the date when holders shall have received copies of
the supplemental or amended prospectus necessary to permit resales of the
Securities or to and including the date on which the Operating Partnership has
given notice that the sale of Securities may be resumed, as the case may be.

     Each Note shall contain a legend to the effect that the holder thereof, by
its acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the
provisions of this Agreement.

     The Operating Partnership shall notify the Trustee within three business
days after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of which
Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture) is required to be paid (an
"Event Date"). Additional Interest shall be paid by depositing with the Trustee,
in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of Registrable Securities, on or before
the applicable semiannual interest payment date, immediately available funds in
sums sufficient to pay the Additional Interest then due. The Additional Interest
due shall be payable on each interest payment date to the record Holder of
Securities entitled to receive the interest payment to be paid on such date as
set forth in the Indenture. Each obligation to pay Additional Interest shall be
deemed to accrue from and including the day following the applicable Event Date.

     3.   REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

     In connection with the obligations of the Operating Partnership with
respect to Registration Statements pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2
hereof, the Operating Partnership shall:

relevant time period specified in Section 2, on the appropriate form under the

Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective in accordance
with Section 2 hereof;

     (b)  prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective
amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary under applicable
law to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period; and
cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement,
and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar
provision then in force) under the 1933 Act and comply with the provisions of
the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable
to them with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by each
Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the
intended method or methods of distribution by the selling Holders thereof
(including sales by any Participating Broker-Dealer);

     (c)  in the case of a Shelf Registration, (i) notify each Holder of
Registrable Securities, at least five business days prior to filing, that a
Shelf Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities is being
filed and advise such Holders that the distribution of Registrable Securities
shall be made in accordance with the method selected by the Majority Holders
participating in the Shelf Registration; (ii) furnish to each Holder of
Registrable Securities and to each underwriter of an underwritten offering of
Registrable Securities, if any, without charge, as many copies of each
Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or
supplement thereto and such other documents as such Holder or underwriter may
reasonably request, including financial statements and schedules and, if the
Holder so requests, all exhibits in order to facilitate the public sale or other
disposition of the Registrable Securities; and (iii) hereby consent to the use
of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling
Holders of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering and sale of
the Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto;

     (d)  in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its best efforts to register
or qualify the Registrable Securities under all applicable state securities or
"blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Securities
covered by a Registration Statement and each underwriter of an underwritten
offering of Registrable Securities shall reasonably request by the time the
applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, and do any
and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to
enable each such Holder and underwriter to consummate the disposition in each
such jurisdiction of such Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Operating Partnership shall not be required to (i) qualify as
a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it
would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), or (ii)
take any action which would subject it to general service of process or taxation
in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

     (e)  notify promptly each Holder of Registrable Securities under a Shelf
Registration or any Participating Broker-Dealer who has notified the Operating
Partnership that it is utilizing the Exchange Offer Registration Statement as
provided in paragraph (f) below and, if requested by such Holder or
Participating Broker-Dealer, confirm such advice in writing promptly (i) when a
Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective
amendments and supplements thereto become effective, (ii) of any request by the
SEC or any state securities authority for post-effective amendments and
supplements to a Registration Statement and Prospectus or for additional
information after the Registration Statement has become effective, (iii) of the
issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of
any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) in the case of a Shelf Registration, if,
between the effective date of

                                       10


a Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities
covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the Operating Partnership
contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or other
similar agreement, if any, relating to the offering cease to be true and correct
in all material respects, (v) of the happening of any event or the discovery of
any facts during the period a Shelf Registration Statement is effective which
makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or the related
Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any
changes in such Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to make the
statements therein not misleading, (vi) of the receipt by the Operating
Partnership of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of the Registrable Securities or the Exchange Securities, as the
case may be, for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of
any proceeding for such purpose, and (vii) of any determination by the Operating
Partnership that a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement would
be appropriate;

     (f)  (i)    in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (a)
include in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled "Plan of
Distribution" which section shall be reasonably acceptable to Banc of America
and Merrill Lynch on behalf of the Participating Broker-Dealers, and which shall
contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff
of the SEC with respect to the potential "underwriter" status of any
broker-dealer that holds Registrable Securities acquired for its own account as
a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that shall
be the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of
Exchange Securities to be received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer,
whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff
of the SEC or such positions or policies, in the reasonable judgment of Banc of
America and Merrill Lynch on behalf of the Participating Broker-Dealers and its
counsel, represent the prevailing views of the staff of the SEC, including a
statement that any such broker-dealer who receives Exchange Securities for
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be deemed a statutory
underwriter and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the 1933
Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities, (b) furnish to
each Participating Broker-Dealer who has delivered to the Operating Partnership
the notice referred to in Section 3(e), without charge, as many copies of each
Prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, including any
preliminary prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, as such
Participating Broker-Dealer may reasonably request, (c) hereby consent to the
use of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
or any amendment or supplement thereto, by any Person subject to the prospectus
delivery requirements of the SEC, including all Participating Broker-Dealers, in
connection with the sale or transfer of the Exchange Securities covered by the
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, and (d) include in the
transmittal letter or similar documentation to be executed by an exchange
offeree in order to participate in the Exchange Offer (i) the following
provision:

          "If the exchange offeree is a broker-dealer holding
          Registrable Securities acquired for its own account as
          a result of market-making activities or other trading
          activities, it will deliver a prospectus meeting the
          requirements of the 1933 Act in connection with any
          resale of Exchange Securities received in respect of
          such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange
          Offer;" and

          (ii)   a statement to the effect that, by a broker-dealer making the
acknowledgment described in clause (i) and by delivering a Prospectus in
connection with the exchange of Registrable Securities, the broker-dealer shall
not be deemed to admit that it is an underwriter within the meaning of the 1933
Act; and

          (iii)  in the case of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the
Operating Partnership agrees to deliver to the Initial Purchasers on behalf of
the Participating Broker-Dealers upon

                                       11


the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (a) an opinion of
counsel or opinions of counsel substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A, (b) officers' certificates substantially in the form customarily
delivered in a public offering of debt securities and (c) a comfort letter or
comfort letters in customary form to the extent permitted by Statement on
Auditing Standards No. 72 of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (or if such a comfort letter is not permitted, an agreed upon
procedures letter in customary form) from the Operating Partnership's
independent certified public accountants (and, if necessary, any other
independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Operating
Partnership or of any business acquired by the Operating Partnership for which
financial statements are, or are required to be, included in the Registration
Statement) at least as broad in scope and coverage as the comfort letter or
comfort letters delivered to the Initial Purchasers in connection with the
initial sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers;

     (g)  The Operating Partnership may require each seller of Registrable
Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the
Operating Partnership, as applicable, such information regarding such seller as
may be required by the staff of the SEC to be included in a Registration
Statement. The Operating Partnership shall have no obligation to register under
the Securities Act the Registrable Securities of a seller who so fails to
furnish such information.

     (h)  (i)    in the case of an Exchange Offer, furnish counsel for the
Initial Purchasers and (ii) in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish counsel
for the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any comment letters received
from the SEC or any other request by the SEC or any state securities authority
for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement and Prospectus or for
additional information;

     (i)  make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement at the earliest
possible moment;

     (j)  in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of
Registrable Securities, and each underwriter, if any, without charge, at least
one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and any post-effective
amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules (without
documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits thereto, unless
requested);

     (k)  in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the selling
Holders of Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not
bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Registrable Securities to be in
such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the Indenture) and
registered in such names as the selling Holders or the underwriters, if any, may
reasonably request at least three business days prior to the closing of any sale
of Registrable Securities;

     (l)  in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of any event
or the discovery of any facts, each as contemplated by Section 3(e)(v) and
Section 3(e)(vi) hereof, as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such
an event, use its best efforts to prepare a supplement or post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any
document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document
so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities
or Participating Broker-Dealers, such Prospectus shall not contain at the time
of such delivery any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or shall remain so
qualified. At such time as such public disclosure is otherwise made or the
Operating Partnership determines that such disclosure is not necessary, in each
case to correct any misstatement of a material fact or to include any omitted
material fact, the Operating Partnership agrees promptly to notify

                                       12


each Holder of such determination and to furnish each Holder such number of
copies of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, as such Holder may
reasonably request;

     (m)  in the case of a Shelf Registration, a reasonable time prior to the
filing of any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any amendment to a
Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to a Prospectus or any
document which is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement
or a Prospectus after initial filing of a Registration Statement, provide copies
of such document to the Initial Purchasers on behalf of such Holders; and make

Private Exchange Securities or the Registrable Securities, as the case may be,
in a form eligible for deposit with the Depositary;

     (o)  use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Indenture Supplement

cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the
Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so qualified in accordance

and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable
the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner;

     (p) in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into agreements (including
underwriting agreements) and take all other customary and appropriate actions in
order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities

and whether or not the registration is an underwritten registration:

          (i)    make such representations and warranties to the Holders of such
Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and
scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in similar underwritten
offerings as may be reasonably requested by them;

          (ii)   obtain opinions of counsel to the Operating Partnership and
updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, and the holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold)

matters customarily covered in opinions requested in sales of securities or
underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by

necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary
of the Operating Partnership or of any business acquired by the Operating
Partnership for which financial statements are, or are required to be, included
in the Registration Statement) addressed to the underwriters, if any, and use
reasonable efforts to have such letter addressed to the selling Holders of
Registrable Securities (to the extent consistent with Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 72 of the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts), such
letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily
covered in "cold comfort" letters to underwriters in connection with similar
underwritten offerings;

                                       13


          (iv)   enter into a securities sales agreement with the Holders and an
agent of the Holders providing for, among other things, the appointment of such
agent for the selling Holders for the purpose of soliciting purchases of
Registrable Securities, which agreement shall be in form, substance and scope
customary for similar offerings;

          (v)    if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to
set forth indemnification provisions and procedures substantially equivalent to
the indemnification provisions and procedures set forth in Section 4 hereof with
respect to the underwriters and all other parties to be indemnified pursuant to
said Section or, at the request of any underwriters, in the form customarily
provided to such underwriters in similar types of transactions; and

          (vi)   deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably
requested and as are customarily delivered in similar offerings to the Holders

(and each post-effective amendment thereto) and (B) each closing under any
underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required thereunder;

     (q)  in the case of a Shelf Registration or if a Prospectus is required to
be delivered by any Participating Broker-Dealer in the case of an Exchange
Offer, make available for inspection by representatives of the Holders of the
Registrable Securities, any underwriters participating in any disposition
pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, any Participating Broker-Dealer and
any counsel or accountant retained by any of the foregoing, all financial and
other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Operating
Partnership reasonably requested by any such persons, and cause the respective
officers, directors, employees, and any other agents of the Operating
Partnership to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
representative, underwriter, special counsel or accountant in connection with a
Registration Statement, and make such representatives of the Operating
Partnership available for discussion of such documents as shall be reasonably
requested by the Initial Purchasers PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing
inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the
Purchasers by the Representative and on behalf of the other parties, by one
counsel designated by the Representatives and on behalf of such other parties as
described in Section 3(c) hereof. Records which the Operating Partnership
determines in good faith, to be confidential and any records which they notify
such representatives are confidential shall not be disclosed by such
representatives unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid
or correct a material misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement,
(ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other
order from a court a competent jurisdiction or is necessary in connection with
any action, suit or proceeding or (iii) the information in such Records has been
made generally available to the public. Each selling Holder of such Registrable
Securities and each such Participating Broker-Dealer shall be required to agree
in writing that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall
be deemed confidential, shall not be communicated to any third-party (other than
its agents and affiliates (who shall also be subject to the confidentially
requirements of this paragraph) on a "need-to-know" basis) and shall not be used
by it as the basis for market transaction in the securities of the Operating
Partnership unless and until such is made generally available to the public.
Each selling holder of such Registrable Securities and each such Participating
Broker-Dealer shall be required to further agree in writing that it shall, upon
learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent
jurisdiction, give notice to the Operating Partnership and allow the Operating
Partnership at its expense to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure
of the Records deemed confidential;

     (r)  (i)    in the case of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a
reasonable time prior to the filing of any Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, any Prospectus forming a part thereof, any

                                       14


amendment to an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or amendment or supplement
to such Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchasers
and to counsel to the Holders of Registrable Securities and make such changes in
any such document prior to the filing thereof as the Initial Purchasers or
counsel to the Holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request and,
except as otherwise required by applicable law, not file any such document in a
form to which the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the Holders of Registrable
Securities and counsel to the Holders of Registrable Securities shall not have
previously been advised and furnished a copy of or to which the Initial
Purchasers on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities or counsel to the
Holders of Registrable Securities shall reasonably object, and make the
representatives of the Operating Partnership available for discussion of such
documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Initial Purchasers; and

          (ii)   in the case of a Shelf Registration, a reasonable time prior to
filing any Shelf Registration Statement, any Prospectus forming a part thereof,
any amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to
such Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Holders of Registrable
Securities, to the Initial Purchasers, to counsel for the Holders and to the
underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering of Registrable
Securities, if any, make such changes in any such document prior to the filing
thereof as the Initial Purchasers, the counsel to the Holders or the underwriter
or underwriters reasonably request and not file any such document in a form to
which the Majority Holders, the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the Holders of
Registrable Securities, counsel for the Holders of Registrable Securities or any
underwriter shall not have previously been advised and furnished a copy of or to
which the Majority Holders, the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the Holders of
Registrable Securities, counsel to the Holders of Registrable Securities or any
underwriter shall reasonably object, and make the representatives of the
Operating Partnership available for discussion of such document as shall be
reasonably requested by the Holders of Registrable Securities, the Initial
Purchasers on behalf of such Holders, counsel for the Holders of Registrable
Securities or any underwriter.

     (s)  in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its best efforts to cause all
Registrable Securities to be listed on any securities exchange on which similar
debt securities issued by the Operating Partnership are then listed if requested
by the Majority Holders, or if requested by the underwriter or underwriters of
an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any;

     (t)  in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its best efforts to cause the
Registrable Securities to be rated by the appropriate rating agencies, if so
requested by the Majority Holders, or if requested by the underwriter or
underwriters of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any;

     (u)  otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC
and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable,
an earnings statement covering at least 12 months which shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

     (v)  cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the NASD
and, in the case of a Shelf Registration, in the performance of any due
diligence investigation by any underwriter and its counsel (including any
"qualified independent underwriter" that is required to be retained in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD); and

     (w)  upon consummation of an Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange, obtain a
customary opinion of counsel to the Operating Partnership addressed to the
Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of Registrable Securities participating
in the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, and which includes an opinion that
(i) the Operating Partnership has duly authorized, executed and delivered the
Exchange Securities and/or Private Exchange Securities, as applicable, and the
related indenture, and (ii) each of the Exchange Securities and related
indenture constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Operating

                                       15


Partnership, enforceable against the Operating Partnership in accordance with
its respective terms (with customary exceptions).

     In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Operating Partnership
may (as a condition to such Holder's participation in the Shelf Registration)
require each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Operating
Partnership such information regarding the Holder and the proposed distribution
by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Operating Partnership may
from time to time reasonably request in writing.

     In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder agrees that,
upon receipt of any notice from the Operating Partnership of the happening of
any event or the discovery of any facts, each of the kind described in Section
3(e)(v) hereof, such Holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder's
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by
Section 3(l) hereof, and, if so directed by the Operating Partnership, such
Holder shall deliver to the Operating Partnership (at its expense) all copies in
such Holder's possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's
possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at
the time of receipt of such notice.

     In the event that the Operating Partnership fails to effect the Exchange
Offer or file any Shelf Registration Statement and maintain the effectiveness of
any Shelf Registration Statement as provided herein, the Operating Partnership
shall not file any Registration Statement with respect to any securities (within
the meaning of Section 2(1) of the 1933 Act) of the Operating Partnership other
than Registrable Securities.

     If any of the Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf Registration
Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the underwriter or
underwriters and manager or managers that will manage such offering shall be
selected by the Majority Holders of such Registrable Securities included in such
offering and shall be acceptable to the Operating Partnership. No Holder of
Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten registration
hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder's Registrable
Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by
the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes
and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements.

     4.   INDEMNIFICATION, CONTRIBUTION.

     (a)  The Operating Partnership agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Initial Purchasers, each Holder, each Participating Broker-Dealer, each Person
who participates as an underwriter (any such Person being an "Underwriter") and
each Person, if any, who controls any Holder or Underwriter within the meaning
of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

          (i)    against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) pursuant to which Exchange Securities or
Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act, including all
documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission
therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom
of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

                                       16


          (ii)   against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in
settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever
based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue
statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 4(d) below) any such
settlement is effected with the written consent of the Operating Partnership;
and

          (iii)  against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including
the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by any indemnified party),
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such
untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission,
to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or
subparagraph (ii) above;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Operating
Partnership by the Holder or Underwriter expressly for use in a Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto).

     (b)  Each Holder severally, but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Operating Partnership, the Initial Purchasers, each underwriter and
the other selling Holders, and each of their respective directors and officers,
and each Person, if any, who controls the Operating Partnership, the Initial
Purchasers, any Underwriter or any other selling Holder within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all
loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained
in Section 4(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements
or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Shelf
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus included
therein (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information with respect to such Holder furnished to the
Operating Partnership by such Holder expressly for use in the Shelf Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such Holder shall be liable for
any claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such
Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf
Registration Statement.

     (c)  Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably
practicable to each indemnifying party of any action or proceeding commenced
against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to
so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from
any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a
result thereof, and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which
it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. An
indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of such
action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not
(except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the
indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable
for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local
counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in
connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the
same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.
No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by
any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought
under this Section 4 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or
potential parties thereto), unless such settlement,

                                       17


compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified
party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation,
proceeding or claim, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission
of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified
party.

     (d)  If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an
indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of
counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any
settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 4(a)(ii) effected without its
written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after
receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such
indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at
least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such
indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in
accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

     (e)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is for any
reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in
respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to
therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount
of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such
indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative fault of the Operating Partnership on the one hand and the Holders
and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

     The relative fault of the Operating Partnership on the one hand and the
Holders and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Operating Partnership, the Holders
or the Initial Purchasers and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

     The Operating Partnership, the Holders and the Initial Purchasers agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this
Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers
were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to above in this Section 4. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims,
damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in
this Section 4 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending
against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental
agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, no Holder or Initial
Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total price at which the Securities sold by it were offered exceeds
the amount of any damages which such Holder or Initial Purchaser has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission.

     No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

     For purposes of this Section 4, each Person, if any, who controls an
Initial Purchaser or Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such
Initial Purchaser or Holder, and each director of the Operating Partnership, and

                                       18


each Person, if any, who controls the Operating Partnership within the meaning
of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same
rights to contribution as the Operating Partnership. The Initial Purchasers'
respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 4 are several in
proportion to the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their
respective names in Schedule A to the Purchase Agreement and not joint.

     5.   MISCELLANEOUS.

          5.1    RULE 144 AND RULE 144A. For so long as the Operating
Partnership is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15
of the 1934 Act, the Operating Partnership covenants that it shall file the
reports required to be filed by it under the 1933 Act and Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC
thereunder. If the Operating Partnership ceases to be so required to file such
reports, the Operating Partnership covenants that it shall upon the request of
any Holder of Registrable Securities (a) make publicly available such
information as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933
Act, (b) deliver such information to a prospective purchaser as is necessary to
permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and it shall take such
further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request,
and (c) take such further action that is reasonable in the circumstances, in
each case, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to
sell its Registrable Securities without registration under the 1933 Act within
the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, as
such Rule may be amended from time to time, (ii) Rule 144A under the 1933 Act,
as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (iii) any similar rules or
regulations hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder of
Registrable Securities, the Operating Partnership shall deliver to such Holder a
written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

          5.2    NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Operating Partnership has not
entered into and the Operating Partnership shall NOT after the date of this
Agreement enter into any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted
to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise
conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders
hereunder do not and shall not for the term of this Agreement in any way
conflict with the rights granted to the holders of the Operating Partnership's
other issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements.

          5.3    AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement,
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given unless the Operating Partnership has obtained the written
consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification,
supplement, waiver or departure.

          5.4    NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered
first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight
delivery (a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to
the Operating Partnership by means of a notice given in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 5.4, which address initially is the address set forth
in the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Initial Purchasers; and (b) if to
the Operating Partnership, initially at the Operating Partnership's address set
forth in the Purchase Agreement, and thereafter at such other address of which
notice is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4.

     All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly
given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; two business days
after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when answered
back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next
business day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight
delivery.

                                       19


     Copies of all such notices, demands, or other communications shall be
concurrently delivered by the person giving the same to the Trustee under the
Indenture, at the address specified in such Indenture.

          5.5    SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each
of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an
express assignment, subsequent Holders; PROVIDED, that nothing herein shall be
deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable
Securities in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture.
If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any
manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities
shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and
holding such Registrable Securities such person shall be conclusively deemed to
have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement, including the restrictions on resale set forth in this Agreement
and, if applicable, the Purchase Agreement, and such person shall be entitled to
receive the benefits hereof.

          5.6    THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. The Initial Purchasers (even if the
Initial Purchasers are not Holders of Registrable Securities) shall be third
party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Operating
Partnership, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, and shall have
the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent they deem such
enforcement necessary or advisable to protect their rights or the rights of
Holders hereunder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall be a third party
beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Operating Partnership,
on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have
the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such
enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder.

          5.7    SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT. Without limiting the remedies available
to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Operating Partnership
acknowledges that any failure by the Operating Partnership to comply with its
obligations under Section 2.1 through Section 2.4 hereof may result in material
irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is
no adequate remedy at law, that it would not be possible to measure damages for
such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial
Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to
specifically enforce the Operating Partnership's obligations under Section 2.1
through Section 2.4 hereof.

          5.8    RESTRICTION ON RESALES. Until the expiration of two years after
the original issuance of the Securities, the Operating Partnership shall not,
and shall cause its "affiliates" (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1)
under the 1933 Act) not to, resell any Securities which are "restricted
securities" (as such term is defined under Rule 144(a)(3) under the 1933 Act)
that have been reacquired by any of them and shall immediately upon any purchase
of any such Securities submit such Securities to the Trustee for cancellation.

          5.9    COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

          5.10   HEADINGS. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel for Simon Property Group, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), in connection with the sale by the
Operating Partnership to the Initial Purchasers (as defined below) of
$150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.375% senior unsecured notes due
2008 and $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.35% senior unsecured notes
due 2012 (the "Securities") of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement dated August 15, 2002 (the "Purchase Agreement") among the
Operating Partnership and Banc of America Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch & Co.,
Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Credit Suisse First
Boston Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., UBS Warburg LLC, Commerzbank
Capital Markets Corp., and Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein-Grantchester, Inc.
(collectively, the "Initial Purchasers") and the filing by the Operating
Partnership of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement (the "Registration
Statement") in connection with an Exchange Offer to be effected pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), dated
August 21, 2002, between the Operating Partnership and the Initial Purchasers.
This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3(f)(iii) of the
Registration Rights Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms used in this opinion that are defined in the Registration Rights Agreement
are used herein as so defined.

     We have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have
deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion. In rendering this opinion, as to
all matters of fact relevant to this opinion, we have assumed the completeness
and accuracy of, and are relying solely upon, the representations and warranties
of the Operating Partnership set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the
statements set forth in certificates of public officials and officers of the
Operating Partnership, without making any independent investigation or inquiry
with respect to the completeness or accuracy of such representations, warranties
or statements, other than a review of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws
and relevant minute books of the Operating Partnership.

     Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:



          1.     The Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Prospectus
(other than the financial statements, notes or schedules thereto and other
financial data and supplemental schedules included or incorporated by reference
therein or omitted therefrom and the Form T-1, as to which such counsel need
express no opinion), comply as to form in all material respects with the
requirements of the 1933 Act and the applicable rules and regulations
promulgated under the 1933 Act.

          2.     We have participated in the preparation of the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus and in the course thereof have had discussions with
representatives of the underwriters, officers and other representatives of the
Operating Partnership and Ernst & Young LLP, the Operating Partnership's
independent public accountants, during which the contents of the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus were discussed. We have not, however, independently
verified and are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the
accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Based on our participation as
described above, nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe
that the Registration Statement (except for financial statements and schedules
and other financial data included therein as to which we make no statement)
contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading or that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
(except for financial statements and schedules and other financial data included
therein, as to which such counsel need make no statement), at the time the
Prospectus was issued, at the time any such amended or supplemented Prospectus
was issued or on the Closing Date, included or includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.

     This opinion is being furnished to you solely for your benefit in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Registration Rights
Agreement, and may not be used for any other purpose or relied upon by any
person other than you. Except with our prior written consent, the opinions
herein expressed are not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to
in connection with any transactions other than those contemplated by the
Registration Rights Agreement by or to any other person.

                                                Very truly yours,
