[REVERSE OF NOTE]

SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, L.P.

[2.150%/3.375%/4.750%] Note due [2017/2022/2042]

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 Twenty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 13, 2012, between the Issuer and the Trustee) reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered and for the definition of capitalized terms used hereby and not otherwise defined. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto. This Security is one of a series designated as the Simon Property Group, L.P. [2.150%/3.375%/4.750%] Notes due [2017/2022/2042], initially limited in aggregate principal amount to [$600,000,000/$600,000,000/$550,000,000] (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 the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Notes. If the Notes are redeemed on or after [June 15, 2017/December 15, 2021/September 15, 2041], 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 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The notice of redemption shall specify, among other items, the redemption price and the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.

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

A-5

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, premium, if any, and interest on this Note in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

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