**ITEM 8.01 Other Events.**

On August 12, 2025, the Operating Partnership entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with BBVA Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the underwriters named therein (collectively, the "Underwriters"), in connection with the public offering of $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership's 4.375% notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes") and $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership's 5.125% notes due 2035 (the "2035 Notes" and, together with the 2030 Notes, the "Notes"). The Underwriting Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants that are customary for transactions of this type. In addition, the Operating Partnership has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities on customary terms. The Underwriters have performed, and expect in the future to perform, investment banking and advisory services for which they have received, and may continue to receive, customary fees and expenses, and affiliates of the Underwriters have performed, and expect in the future to perform, commercial lending services, for the Operating Partnership and its affiliates from time to time.

The Notes were issued on August 19, 2025 pursuant to the Operating Partnership's Indenture (the "Base Indenture"), dated as of November 26, 1996, between the Operating Partnership and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank), as trustee (the "Trustee"), as amended and supplemented by the Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 19, 2025 (the "Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"), between the Operating Partnership and the Trustee, setting forth the terms of the Notes.

The 2030 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.375% per annum and mature on October 1, 2030. The 2035 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.125% per annum and mature on October 1, 2035. Interest on the 2030 Notes and the 2035 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, beginning April 1, 2026 (each, an "Interest Payment Date"). Interest will be paid to holders of record of such Notes registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day preceding the related Interest Payment Date.

The Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes of any series at its option at any time, in whole or from time to time in part, on not less than 10 and not more than 60 days' prior written notice mailed to the holders of the Notes to be redeemed. The Notes of each series will be redeemable at a price equal to the principal amount of such Notes being redeemed, plus unpaid interest accrued to, but not including, the date of redemption and a "make-whole" premium calculated under the Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture with respect to the 2030 Notes and the 2035 Notes (unless the 2030 Notes are redeemed on or after September 1, 2030, or the 2035 Notes are redeemed on or after July 1, 2035, in which case no "make-whole" premium will be payable).

The Notes will be subject to customary events of default, including, among other things, nonpayment, failure to comply with the other agreements in the Indenture for a period of 90 days after notice, and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization.

The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by the Underwriting Agreement and the Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture (including the forms of notes attached thereto) which are filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein. The Form of 2030 Notes is filed as Exhibit 4.2 and the Form of 2035 Notes is filed as Exhibit 4.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and each is incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and a copy of the Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.

As Representatives of the Several Underwriters

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Simon Property Group, L.P., an Indiana limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), confirms its agreement with BBVA Securities Inc. ("BBVA"), J.P. Morgan Securities LLC ("J.P. Morgan"), TD Securities (USA) LLC ("TD") and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC ("Wells Fargo") and each of the other Underwriters named in **Schedule 1** hereto (collectively, the "Underwriters," which term shall also include any Underwriter substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 10 hereof), for whom BBVA, J.P. Morgan, TD and Wells Fargo are acting as representatives (in such capacity, the "Representatives"), with respect to the issue and sale by the Operating Partnership and the purchase by the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of the respective principal amounts set forth in said **Schedule 1** of $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes") and $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% senior unsecured notes due 2035 (the "2035 Notes", and together with the 2030 Notes, the "Notes").

The 2030 Notes and the 2035 Notes shall be issued as a separate series of debt securities under an indenture, dated as of November 26, 1996 (the "Original Indenture"), between the Operating Partnership and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank), as trustee (the "Trustee"). The title, aggregate principal amount, rank, interest rate or formula and timing of payments thereof, stated maturity date, redemption and/or repayment provisions, sinking fund requirements and any other variable terms of the Notes of each series shall be established by or pursuant to a forty-seventh supplemental indenture to the Original Indenture (as so supplemented, and as the same may be amended or further supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture") to be entered into between the Operating Partnership and the Trustee on or prior to the Closing Time (as defined in Section 2(b)). Notes issued in book-entry form shall be issued to Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") pursuant to a blanket issuer letter of representations, dated August 11, 2004 (the "DTC Agreement"), between the Operating Partnership and DTC.

The Operating Partnership understands that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Notes on the terms and in the manner set forth herein and as soon as the Representatives deem advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered.

The Operating Partnership and Simon Property Group, Inc., an Indiana corporation and the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership (the "Company"), have jointly prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-277297 and 333-277297-01), including the related preliminary prospectus or prospectuses, which registration statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the rules and regulations of the Commission (the "1933 Act Regulations") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). Such registration statement covers the registration of the sale of the Notes under the 1933 Act. Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Operating Partnership will prepare and file with the Commission a prospectus supplement to the prospectus of the Operating Partnership that is a part of the aforementioned registration statement in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B ("Rule 430B") of the 1933 Act Regulations and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 ("Rule 424(b)") of the 1933 Act Regulations, and deliver such prospectus supplement and prospectus to the Underwriters, for use by the Underwriters in connection with their solicitation of purchases of, or offering of, the Notes. Any information included in such prospectus supplement that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of and included in such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B is referred to as "Rule 430B Information." The prospectus of the Operating Partnership that is part of such registration statement and each prospectus supplement used in connection with the offering of the Notes that omitted Rule 430B Information is herein referred to as a "preliminary prospectus." Such registration statement, at any given time, including the amendments thereto to such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act at such time and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the 1933 Act Regulations, is herein referred to as the "Registration Statement." The Registration Statement, at the time it originally became effective, is herein referred to as the "Original Registration Statement." The final prospectus and the final prospectus supplement, in the form first furnished to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Notes, including the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act at the time of the execution of this Agreement, is herein referred to as the "Prospectus." For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval ("EDGAR") system. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to those terms in the Prospectus.

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is "contained," "included" or "stated" in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the General Disclosure Package (as defined below) or the Prospectus (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, prior to the date of this Agreement; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, on or after the date of this Agreement.

The term "subsidiary" means a corporation, partnership or other entity, a majority of the outstanding voting stock, partnership interests or other equity interests, as the case may be, of which is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Operating Partnership and/or the Company, or by one or more other subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and/or the Company. The term "significant subsidiary" means any subsidiary that meets the definition of "significant subsidiary" in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X.

SECTION 1 <u>Representations and Warranties</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Representations and Warranties by the Operating Partnership*. The Operating Partnership represents and warrants to each Underwriter, as of the date hereof, as of the Applicable Time (as defined below) and as of the Closing Time (in each case, a "Representation Date"), and agrees with each Underwriter, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) <u>Status as a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer</u>. (A) At the time of filing the Original Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or the Operating Partnership or any person acting on their behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) made or will make any offer relating to the Notes in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the 1933 Act Regulations and (D) at the date hereof, each of the Company and the Operating Partnership was and is a "well-known seasoned issuer" as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations ("Rule 405"), including not having been and not being an "ineligible issuer" as defined in Rule 405. The Registration Statement is an "automatic shelf registration statement," as defined in Rule 405, and the Notes, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Operating Partnership on a Rule 405 "automatic shelf registration statement." Neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership has received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form.

At the time of filing the Original Registration Statement, at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or the Operating Partnership or another offering participant made or will make a *bona fide* offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations) of the Notes and at the date hereof, each of the Company and the Operating Partnership was not and is not an "ineligible issuer," as defined in Rule 405.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) <u>The Registration Statement</u>. The Original Registration Statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the 1933 Act Regulations ("Rule 462(e)") on February 23, 2024, and each post-effective amendment thereto (including, without limitation, the post-effective amendment thereto resulting from the filing of any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus) also became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e). No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or the Operating Partnership, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.

Any offer that is a written communication relating to the Notes made prior to the filing of the Original Registration Statement by the Company or the Operating Partnership or any person acting on their behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) has been filed with the Commission in accordance with the exemption provided by Rule 163 of the 1933 Act Regulations ("Rule 163") and otherwise complied with the requirements of Rule 163, including without limitation the legending requirement, to qualify such offer for the exemption from Section 5(c) of the 1933 Act provided by Rule 163.

At the respective times the Original Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto became effective, at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations and at the Closing Time, the Registration Statement complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "1939 Act"), and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1939 Act (the "1939 Act Regulations"), and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; *provided*, that this representation, warranty and agreement shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Operating Partnership in writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described in Section 6(b) hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) <u>The Prospectus</u>. The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement was or is issued, and at the Closing Time shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that this representation, warranty and agreement shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Operating Partnership in writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described in Section 6(b) hereof.

Each preliminary prospectus (including the prospectus or prospectuses filed as part of the Original Registration Statement or any amendment thereto), the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto complied or will comply when so filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act Regulations and each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with this offering was or will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) <u>Disclosure at Time of Sale</u>. As of the Applicable Time, neither (x) the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time or the Statutory Prospectus (as defined below), considered together (collectively, the "General Disclosure Package"), nor (y) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, will include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(25) <u>Possession of Licenses and Permits</u>. The Simon Entities and, to the knowledge of the Operating Partnership, each Property Partnership possess such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, "Governmental Licenses") issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by them except for such Governmental Licenses the failure to obtain would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Simon Entities and, to the knowledge of the Operating Partnership, each Property Partnership are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Simon Entities or, to the knowledge of the Operating Partnership, any Property Partnership have received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(26) <u>Title to Property</u>.

All leases and subleases under which any Simon Entity or any Property Partnership holds real properties are in full force and effect, except for such which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Simon Entities or the Property Partnerships have received any notice of any Material claim of any sort that has been asserted by anyone adverse to the rights of the Simon Entities or the Property Partnerships under any material leases or subleases, or affecting or questioning the rights of such Simon Entities or the Property Partnerships of the continued possession of the leased or subleased premises under any such lease or sublease, other than claims that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All Liens on or affecting any of the Properties and the assets of any Simon Entity or any Property Partnership which are required by the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are disclosed therein. None of the Simon Entities, the Property Partnerships or any tenant of any of the Properties is in default under any of the ground leases (as lessee) or space leases (as lessor or lessee, as the case may be) relating to, or any of the mortgages or other security documents or other agreements encumbering or otherwise recorded against, the Properties, and the Operating Partnership knows of no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under any of such documents or agreements, in each case, other than such defaults that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No tenant under any of the leases, pursuant to which the Operating Partnership or any Property Partnership, as lessor, leases its Property, has an option or right of first refusal to purchase the premises demised under such lease, the exercise of which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Properties complies with all applicable codes, laws and regulations (including, without limitation, building and zoning codes, laws and regulations and laws relating to access to the Properties), except for such failures to comply that would not in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Operating Partnership has no knowledge of any pending or threatened condemnation proceeding, zoning change, or other proceeding or action that will in any manner affect the size of, use of, improvements on, construction on or access to, the Properties, except such proceedings or actions that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The Operating Partnership will effect the filings required under Rule 424(b), in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus. The Operating Partnership will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment. The Operating Partnership shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Notes within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) (i) of the 1933 Act Regulations without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the 1933 Act Regulations (including, if applicable, by updating the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in accordance with Rule 456(b)(1)(ii) either in a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or on the cover page of a prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Delivery of Registration Statements*. The Operating Partnership has furnished or will deliver to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, copies of the Original Registration Statement and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof) and copies of all consents and certificates of experts, and will also deliver to the Representatives, without charge, a conformed copy of the Original Registration Statement and of each amendment thereto (without exhibits) for each of the Underwriters. The copies of the Original Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

The Operating Partnership, as promptly as possible, shall furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, such number of each preliminary prospectus as such Underwriter may reasonably request, and the Operating Partnership hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the 1933 Act. The Operating Partnership will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the period when a prospectus is required to be delivered (or but for Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations would be required to be delivered) under the 1933 Act, such number of copies of the Prospectus and any amendments and supplements thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein as such Underwriter may reasonably request. The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Notice and Effect of Material Events*. The Operating Partnership will comply with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations and the 1939 Act and the 1939 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Notes as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Prospectus. The Operating Partnership shall immediately notify each Underwriter, and confirm such notice in writing, of (x) any filing made by the Operating Partnership of information relating to the offering of the Notes with any securities exchange or any other regulatory body in the United States or any other jurisdiction, and (y) at any time when a prospectus is required by the 1933 Act to be delivered (or but for Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations would be required to be delivered) in connection with sales of the Notes, any material changes in or affecting the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Operating Partnership, any other Simon Entity or any Property Partnership which (i) make any statement in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus false or misleading or (ii) are not disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus. In such event or if during such time any event shall occur as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable opinion of any of the Operating Partnership, its counsel, the Underwriters or counsel for the Underwriters, to amend the Registration Statement or to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order that the same not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading (except in the case of the Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, is delivered to a purchaser), the Operating Partnership shall forthwith amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, by preparing and furnishing to each Underwriter an amendment or amendments of, or a supplement or supplements to, the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be (in form and substance satisfactory in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriters), so that, as so amended or supplemented, the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (except in the case of the Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, is delivered to a purchaser), not misleading. In addition, if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of counsel to the Underwriters, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or to file a new registration statement or amend or supplement the preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Operating Partnership will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(e), such amendment, supplement or new registration statement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to comply with such requirements, the Operating Partnership will use its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement with respect to the Notes) and the Operating Partnership will furnish to the Underwriters such number of copies of such amendment, supplement or new registration statement as the Underwriters may reasonably request. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement (or any other registration statement relating to the Notes) or the Statutory Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Operating Partnership will promptly notify the Representatives and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or preliminary prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Filing of Amendments and 1934 Act Documents*. The Operating Partnership will give the Representatives notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement relating to the Notes or any amendment, supplement or revision to either any preliminary prospectus (including any prospectus included in the Original Registration Statement or amendment thereto at the time it became effective) or to the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, and the Operating Partnership will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall object. Neither the consent of the Underwriters, nor the Underwriters' delivery of any such amendment or supplement, shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof. The Operating Partnership will give the Representatives prompt notice of any filings made pursuant to the 1934 Act or 1934 Act Regulations within 48 hours prior to the Applicable Time; the Operating Partnership will give the Representatives notice of its intention to make any filings pursuant to the 1934 Act or 1934 Act Regulations from the Applicable Time to the Closing Time and will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing and will not file or use any such document to which the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall object.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Renewal of Registration Statement.* If immediately prior to the third anniversary of February 23, 2024 (such third anniversary, the "Renewal Deadline") any of the Notes remain unsold by the Underwriters, the Operating Partnership will, prior to the Renewal Deadline, promptly notify the Representatives and file, if it has not already done so and is eligible to do so, an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations) relating to such Notes, in a form satisfactory to the Representatives. If at the Renewal Deadline any of the Notes remain unsold by the Underwriters and the Operating Partnership is not eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement, the Operating Partnership will, if it has not already done so, promptly notify the Representatives and file a new shelf registration statement or post-effective amendment on the proper form relating to such Notes in a form satisfactory to the Representatives, and will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement or post-effective amendment to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the Renewal Deadline and promptly notify the Representatives of such effectiveness. The Operating Partnership will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Notes to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating thereto. References herein to the "Registration Statement" shall include such automatic shelf registration statement or such new shelf registration statement or post-effective amendment, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) *Blue-Sky Qualifications*. The Operating Partnership shall use its best efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Notes for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Underwriters may designate and to maintain such qualifications in effect for a period of not less than one year from the date of this Agreement; *provided*, *however*, that the Operating Partnership shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify or register as a foreign partnership or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or registered, or provide any undertaking or make any change in its charter or by-laws that the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines to be contrary to the best interests of the Operating Partnership and its unitholders or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. In each jurisdiction in which the Notes have been so qualified or registered, the Operating Partnership shall file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification in effect for a period of not less than one year from the date of this Agreement. The Operating Partnership will also supply the Underwriters with such information as is necessary for the determination of the legality of the Notes for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) *Stop Order by State Securities Commission*. The Operating Partnership shall advise the Underwriters promptly and, if requested by any Underwriter, to confirm such advice in writing, of the issuance by any state securities commission or other regulatory authority of any stop order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Notes for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose by any state securities commission or other regulatory authority. The Operating Partnership shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or order suspending the qualification or exemption of any of the Notes under any state securities or Blue Sky laws, and if at any time any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption of any of the Notes under any state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Operating Partnership shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Earnings Statement*. The Operating Partnership shall timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable an earnings statement (in form complying with Rule 158 of the 1933 Act Regulations) for the purposes of, and to provide to the Underwriters the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) *Reporting Requirements*. The Operating Partnership, during the period when a prospectus is required to be delivered (or but for Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations would be required to be delivered) under the 1933 Act, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act within the time periods required by the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) *Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses; Preparation of the Final Term Sheets*. The Operating Partnership represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Operating Partnership and the Representatives, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Notes that would constitute an "issuer free writing prospectus," as defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise constitute a "free writing prospectus," as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Operating Partnership and the Representatives is hereinafter referred to as a "Permitted Free Writing Prospectus."

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Partnership consents to the use by any Underwriter of a free writing prospectus that (a) is not an "issuer free writing prospectus" as defined in Rule 433, and (b) contains only (i) information describing the preliminary terms of the Notes or their offering or (ii) information that describes the final terms of the Notes or their offering and that is included in the Final Term Sheets. With respect to each series of Notes, the Operating Partnership will prepare a final term sheet reflecting the final terms of such Notes (each, a "Final Term Sheet" and, collectively, the "Final Term Sheets"), substantially in the form set forth in **Schedule 4A** or **4B**, as applicable (but also including the expected ratings of the Notes), and shall file each Final Term Sheet as an "issuer free writing prospectus" pursuant to Rule 433 prior to the close of business two business days after the date of this Agreement; *provided* that the Operating Partnership shall furnish the Representatives with copies of each Final Term Sheet a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing and will not use or file any such document to which the Representatives or counsel to the Underwriters shall object. Each Final Term Sheet is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) *REIT Qualification*. The Company shall use its best efforts to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a "real estate investment trust" under the Code until the Board of Directors of the Company determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to so qualify.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) *Use of Proceeds*. The Operating Partnership shall use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Notes in the manner specified in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under "Use of Proceeds."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) *1934 Act Filings*.

In respect of the offering of the Notes, the Operating Partnership shall execute a supplemental indenture designating the two series of debt securities to be offered and their related terms and provisions in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) *Ratings*. The Operating Partnership shall take all reasonable action necessary to enable the rating agencies referred to in each Final Term Sheet (each, a "Specified Rating Agency" and, collectively, the "Specified Rating Agencies") to provide their respective credit ratings of the Notes as specified in each Final Term Sheet.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) *DTC*. The Operating Partnership shall cooperate with the Underwriters and use commercially reasonable efforts to permit the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of DTC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r) *Regulation M.* Neither the Operating Partnership nor any Affiliate of the Operating Partnership will take any action prohibited by Regulation M under the 1934 Act in connection with the distribution of the Notes contemplated hereby.

SECTION 6 <u>Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Indemnification of Underwriters*. The Operating Partnership agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and their respective officers, directors, members, Affiliates and employees as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; *provided*, that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Operating Partnership; and

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

*provided*, *however*, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Operating Partnership by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described in Section 6(b) hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Indemnification of Operating Partnership, Company and Company's Directors and Officers*. Each Underwriter severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Operating Partnership, the Company, each of the Company's directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Operating Partnership or the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information or any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Operating Partnership by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein. The Operating Partnership hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Underwriters have furnished to the Operating Partnership expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information or any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in (i) the names of the Underwriters contained on the cover page and on the back page of the Prospectus and in the table under the caption "Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)" in the Prospectus, (ii) the first paragraph under the caption "Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Commissions and Discounts" in the Prospectus, (iii) the third sentence of the first paragraph under the caption "Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—New Issues of Notes" in the Prospectus, (iv) the first and second paragraphs under the caption "Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Price Stabilization and Short Positions" in the Prospectus and (v) the last two sentences of the third paragraph under the caption "Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Price Stabilization and Short Positions" in the Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Actions Against Parties; Notification*. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representatives, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Operating Partnership. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; *provided*, *however*, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Settlement Without Consent If Failure to Reimburse*. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel in accordance with the provisions hereof, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(2) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into in good faith by the indemnified party more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

SECTION 7 <u>Contribution</u>.

If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Notes of the applicable series pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Notes of the applicable series pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of such Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Operating Partnership and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of such Notes as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus.

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

The Operating Partnership and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes of the applicable series underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

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

For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Underwriter's officers, directors, members, Affiliates, employees and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Operating Partnership or the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Operating Partnership. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of Notes of the applicable series set forth opposite their respective names in **Schedule 1** hereto and not joint.

SECTION 8 <u>Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery</u>.

All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Operating Partnership or the Company or authorized representatives of each of the Operating Partnership or the Company submitted pursuant hereto or thereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or its Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling any Underwriter, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Operating Partnership or the Company, and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Notes.

SECTION 9 <u>Termination</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Termination; General*. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Operating Partnership, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the earlier of the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Operating Partnership and the other Simon Entities considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriters, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, or (ii) if there has occurred (A) any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, (B) any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis, (C) a declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or (D) any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial, or economic conditions, in each case, the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Notes or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Notes, or (iii) (x) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), or (y) if trading generally on the NYSE, the Nasdaq Global Market or the NYSE American or in the over-the-counter market has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal, New York, or Indiana authorities, or (v) if a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States has occurred, or (vi) if the rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization to any debt securities of the Operating Partnership as of the date hereof shall have been downgraded, or withdrawn, since such date or if any such rating organization shall have publicly announced that it has placed any series of debt securities of the Operating Partnership under surveillance or review as to the rating of such debt securities or any of the Operating Partnership's other securities, which does not indicate affirmation or improvement in the rating.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Liabilities*. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and *provided*, *further*, that Sections 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13 and 14 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 10 <u>Default by One or More of the Underwriters</u>.

If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the Notes which it is, or they are, obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the "Defaulted Notes"), the Representatives shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters or any other underwriter(s) to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Notes in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

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

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

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

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the Representatives or the Operating Partnership shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term "Underwriter" includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10.

SECTION 14 <u>No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship</u>.

The Operating Partnership acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Notes of each series and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction, each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Operating Partnership or the Company, or its stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Operating Partnership or the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Operating Partnership or the Company on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Operating Partnership or the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Operating Partnership and the Company, and (e) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Operating Partnership and the Company have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate. Furthermore, the Operating Partnership agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering of the Notes (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Operating Partnership or the Company on related or other matters).

SECTION 15 <u>Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>.

In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity (as defined below) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

In determining the Treasury Rate, the Operating Partnership shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the date of redemption or accelerated payment to the applicable Par Call Date (the "**Remaining Life**"); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields — one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life — and shall interpolate to the applicable Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the date notice of the redemption or accelerated payment is given H.15 TCM or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Operating Partnership shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such notice of the redemption or accelerated payment of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the applicable Par Call Date. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the applicable Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the applicable Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the applicable Par Call Date, the Operating Partnership shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the applicable Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Operating Partnership shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

"**Trustee**" has the meaning set forth in the Recitals hereto.

SECTION 1.02. <u>Creation of the Notes</u>.

SECTION 1.03. <u>Form of the Notes</u>.

**[4.375/5.125]% Note due [2030/2035]**

Simon Property Group, L.P., an Indiana limited partnership (the "Issuer," which term includes any successor under the Indenture (as defined below)), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or its registered assigns, the principal amount of [PRINCIPAL AMOUNT IN WORDS] dollars on October 1, [2030/2035] (the "Maturity Date"), unless earlier redeemed as described on the reverse hereof, and to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount hereof from and including August 19, 2025, semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing on April 1, 2026, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at the rate of [4.375/5.125]% per annum, until payment of said principal amount has been made or duly provided for.

The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment 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 15<sup>th</sup> calendar day immediately prior to such Interest Payment Date, 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 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 not be more than 15 calendar days and 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. 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 or, if applicable, on the date of redemption shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or from and including August 19, 2025, in the case of the initial period) to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or date of redemption, as the case may be. If any date for the payment of principal of, or 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, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

The principal of this Note payable on the Maturity Date or the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, payable on any earlier date of redemption shall be paid against presentation and surrender of this Note at a corporate trust office of the Trustee, located initially at The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., c/o BNY Mellon Corporate Trust, 500 Ross Street, Suite 625, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15262. The Issuer hereby initially designates the corporate trust office of the Trustee, located initially at The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., c/o BNY Mellon Corporate Trust, 500 Ross Street, Suite 625, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15262 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, premium, if any, 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 by manual or pdf or other electronically imaged signature.

**IN WITNESS WHEREOF**, the Issuer has caused this instrument to be signed manually or by facsimile by its authorized officers.

**[REVERSE OF NOTE]**

**SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, L.P.**

**[4.375/5.125]% Note due [2030/2035]**

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 The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to 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 Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 19, 2025, 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 of debt securities under the Indenture designated as the Simon Property Group, L.P. [4.375/5.125]% Notes due [2030/2035], initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $[700,000,000/800,000,000] (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, and in certain cases shall automatically be, 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 but excluding the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Notes. If the Notes are redeemed on or after [September 1, 2030/July 1, 2035], the redemption price shall not include the Make-Whole Amount. 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 10 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 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, and 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, 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 $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. This Note may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of the same series of other authorized denominations at a corporate trust office of the Trustee, located initially at The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., c/o BNY Mellon Corporate Trust, 500 Ross Street, Suite 625, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15262, 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 a corporate trust office of the Trustee, located initially at The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., c/o BNY Mellon Corporate Trust, 500 Ross Street, Suite 625, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15262, one or more new Notes of the same series 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 and Holder 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 hereof and any premium hereon and, subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

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

If any date for the payment of principal of, or 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, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

The Issuer hereby initially designates the corporate trust office of the Trustee, located initially at The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., c/o BNY Mellon Corporate Trust, 500 Ross Street, Suite 625, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15262 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, premium, if any, 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 by manual or pdf or other electronically imaged signature.

**IN WITNESS WHEREOF**, the Issuer has caused this instrument to be signed manually or by facsimile by its authorized officers.

**[REVERSE OF NOTE]**

**SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, L.P.**

**[4.375/5.125]% Note due [2030/2035]**

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 The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to 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 Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 19, 2025, 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 of debt securities under the Indenture designated as the Simon Property Group, L.P. [4.375/5.125]% Notes due [2030/2035], initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $[700,000,000/800,000,000] (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, and in certain cases shall automatically be, 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 but excluding the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Notes. If the Notes are redeemed on or after [September 1, 2030/July 1, 2035], the redemption price shall not include the Make-Whole Amount. 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 10 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 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, and 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, 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 $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. This Note may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of the same series of other authorized denominations at a corporate trust office of the Trustee, located initially at The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., c/o BNY Mellon Corporate Trust, 500 Ross Street, Suite 625, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15262,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.

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 and Holder 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 hereof and any premium hereon and, subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

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

<u>$800,000,000 5.125% Notes Due 2035</u>

To the addressee set forth above:

We have acted as special counsel to Simon Property Group, L.P., an Indiana limited partnership (the "***Operating Partnership***"), in connection with the issuance of $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership's 4.375% Notes due 2030 (the "***2030 Notes***") and $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership's 5.125% Notes due 2035 (the "***2035 Notes***" and, together with the 2030 Notes, the "***Notes***") under a base indenture, dated as of November 26, 1996, among Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P., Simon Property Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership that, effective December 31, 1997, was merged into Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P. (the merged entity being the Operating Partnership), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank), as trustee (the "***Trustee***") (the "***Base Indenture***"), as amended and supplemented by the Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 19, 2025 together with the Base Indenture, the "***Indenture***"), in connection with the issuance of the Notes, and pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "***Act***"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "***Commission***") on February 23, 2024 (Registration No. 333-277297-01) (as so filed and as amended, the "***Registration Statement***"), a prospectus dated February 23, 2024, included in the Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective (the "***Base Prospectus***"), a final prospectus supplement dated August 12, 2025, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act on August 13, 2025 (together with the Base Prospectus, the "***Prospectus***"), and an underwriting agreement, dated as of August 12, 2025 (the "***Underwriting Agreement***"), among the Operating Partnership and the underwriters named therein. The Operating Partnership converted from a Delaware limited partnership to an Indiana limited partnership effective May 15, 2025. This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related Prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Notes.

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Operating Partnership and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters.

We are opining herein as to the internal laws of the State of New York, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, when the Notes have been duly executed, issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered against payment therefor in the circumstances contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes will be legally valid and binding obligations of the Operating Partnership, enforceable against the Operating Partnership in accordance with their respective terms.

Our opinions are subject to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the effects of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification or exculpation of, or contribution to, a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification, exculpation or contribution is contrary to public policy.

We express no opinion with respect to (i) any provision for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty, (ii) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief, (iii) waivers of rights or defenses contained in Section 514 of the Base Indenture, (iv) any provision requiring the payment of attorneys' fees, where such payment is contrary to law or public policy, (v) any provision permitting, upon acceleration of the Notes, collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon, (vi) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights, (vii) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights, (viii) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies, (ix) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations, (x) grants of setoff rights, (xi) proxies, powers and trusts, (xii) provisions prohibiting, restricting or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any right or property, and (xiii) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect.

**August 19, 2025 <br> Page 3**

![](tm2523714d14_ex5-1img01.gif)

With your consent, we have assumed (a) that the Indenture and the Notes (collectively, the "***Documents***") have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, (b) except to the extent we have expressly opined as to such matters with respect to the Operating Partnership, that the Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, and (c) that the status of the Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or to make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.

This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Operating Partnership's Form 8-K, dated August 19, 2025, and to the reference to our firm contained in the Prospectus under the heading "Legal Matters." In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
