            If notice of redemption has been given as provided in the Original
     Indenture and funds for the redemption of any 2008 Notes called for
     redemption shall have been made available on the Redemption Date referred
     to in such notice, such 2008 Notes shall cease to bear interest on the
     Redemption Date and the only right of the Holders of the 2008 Notes from

            (k) OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The 2008 Notes shall have such other
     terms and conditions as provided in the forms thereof attached as Exhibits

     SECTION 1.05.     TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE 2012 NOTES. The 2012 Notes
shall be governed by all the terms and conditions of the Original Indenture, as
supplemented by this Tenth Supplemental Indenture. In particular, the following
provisions shall be terms of the 2012 Notes:

            (a) TITLE AND AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT. The title of the Initial
     2012 Notes and the Exchange 2012 Notes shall be as specified in the
     Recitals; and the aggregate principal amount of the Initial 2012 Notes and
     the Exchange 2012 Notes shall be as specified in Section 1.02 of this Tenth
     Supplemental Indenture, except as permitted by Sections 304, 305 or 306 of
     the Original Indenture.

            (b) STATED MATURITY. The 2012 Notes shall mature, and the unpaid
     principal thereon shall be payable, on August 28, 2012, subject to the
     provisions of the Original Indenture.

            (c) INTEREST. The rate per annum at which interest shall be payable
     on the 2012 Notes shall be 6.35%. Interest on the 2012 Notes shall be
     payable semi-annually in arrears on each August 28 and February 28,
     commencing on February 28, 2003 (each, a "2012 Interest Payment Date"), and
     on the Stated Maturity as specified in Section 1.04(b) of this Tenth
     Supplemental Indenture, to the Persons in whose names the applicable 2012
     Notes are registered in the Security Register applicable to the 2012 Notes
     at the close of business on the 15th calendar day immediately prior to such
     payment date regardless of whether such day is a Business Day (each, a

     on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the

     not including the date of issuance of the Exchange 2012 Note(s) issued in
     exchange for such Initial 2012 Note, shall be paid on the first Interest
     Payment Date for such Exchange 2012 Note(s) to the Holder or Holders of
     such Exchange 2012 Note(s) on the first Regular Record Date with respect to

     Payment Date, then any such accrued and unpaid interest with respect to
     such Initial 2012 Note and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchange
     2012 Note(s) issued in exchange for such Initial 2012 Note, through the day
     before such Interest Payment Date, shall be paid on such Interest Payment
     Date to the Holder of such Initial 2012 Note on such Regular Record Date.

            (f) SINKING FUND, REDEMPTION OR REPAYMENT. No sinking fund shall be
     provided for the 2012 Notes and the 2012 Notes shall not be repayable at
     the option of the Holders thereof prior to Stated Maturity. The 2012 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 2012 Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest
     thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
     respect to such 2012 Notes (collectively, the "Redemption Price"), all in
     accordance with the provisions of Article XI of the Original Indenture.

            If notice of redemption has been given as provided in the Original
     Indenture and funds for the redemption of any 2012 Notes called for
     redemption shall have been made available on the Redemption Date referred
     to in such notice, such 2012 Notes shall cease to bear interest on the
     Redemption Date and the only right of the Holders of the 2012 Notes from
     and after the Redemption Date shall be to receive payment of the Redemption
     Price upon surrender of such 2012 Notes in accordance with such notice.

            (g) REGISTRATION AND FORM. The 2012 Notes shall be issuable as

     excess thereof. Exchange 2012 Notes shall be issued in minimum
     denominations of $1,000 ($100,000 for Institutional Accredited Investors)
     and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. All payments of
     principal and interest in respect of the 2012 Notes shall be made by the
     Issuer in immediately available funds.

            (h) DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The provisions for
     defeasance in Section 1402 of the Original Indenture, and the provisions
     for covenant defeasance (which provisions shall apply, without limitation,
     to the covenants set forth in Article II of this Tenth Supplemental
     Indenture) in Section 1403 of the Original Indenture, shall be applicable
     to the 2012 Notes.

     Notes shall become immediately due and payable, subject to the terms and
     conditions of the Indenture.

            (j) FURTHER ISSUES. The Issuer may, from time to time, without the
     consent of the Holders, create and issue further securities having the same
     terms and conditions as the 2012 Notes in all respects, except for issue
     date, issue price and the first payment of interest thereon. Additional
     2012 Notes issued in this manner shall be consolidated with and shall form
     a single series with the previously outstanding 2012 Notes. Notice of any
     such issuance shall be given to the Trustee and a new supplemental
     indenture shall be executed in connection with the issuance of such
     securities.

            (k) OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The 2012 Notes shall have such other
     terms and conditions as provided in the forms thereof attached as Exhibits
     A, B, C, D and E hereto.

                                   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.

Partnership or any Subsidiary as lessee which is reflected in the Operating

property by an unconsolidated joint venture as lessee which is reflected in such
joint venture's balance sheet as a capitalized lease, in each case, in
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
Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary) described in clauses (i) through (iv)

serving as collateral for Secured Debt (as defined above).

                               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
Commission within 90 calendar days after the date on which the Operating
Partnership delivers the Notes to the Initial Purchasers (the "Closing Date") a
registration statement (the "Exchange Offer Registration Statement") with
respect to the Exchange Notes and (ii) to cause the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 135 calendar
days after the Closing Date. Promptly after the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement has been declared effective, the Operating Partnership shall offer to
the Holders the opportunity to exchange all their Notes of a series for Exchange
Notes of the same series pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The Operating
Partnership shall keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 calendar
days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date on which the
notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders of the Notes but shall, in
any event, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be
consummated within 180 days of the Closing Date. For each Note validly tendered
to the Operating Partnership pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the Holder of such
Note shall receive an Exchange Note of the same series having a principal amount
equal to the principal amount of the tendered Note.

            (b) Each Holder of the Notes (other than certain specified Holders)
that wishes to exchange the Notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer shall
be required to represent that (i) it is not an Affiliate of the Operating
Partnership, (ii) the Exchange Notes to be received by it were acquired in the
ordinary course of its business and (iii) at the time of the Exchange Offer, it
has no arrangement with any Person to participate in the distribution (within
the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes.

            (c) The Registration Rights Agreement also shall provide that if,
(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
<Page>

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

     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

                              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
<Page>

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).

                       [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.

     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

or Holders of such Exchange Note(s) on the first Record Date with respect to

Rights Agreement dated August 21, 2002 (the "Registration Rights Agreement")

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
<Page>

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
<Page>

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.

                           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
<Page>

     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
<Page>

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

                                       B-7
<Page>

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.

                           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.

     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
<Page>

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.

                           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
<Page>

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.

                       [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 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

                                       D-1
<Page>

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 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

                                       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.

                                [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

                                       D-6
<Page>

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.

                           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.

     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
<Page>

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

                                       E-6
<Page>

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.
