THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
Simon-DeBartolo Group, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") is a subsidiary partnership of Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. (the "Company"). The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"). Simon Property Group, L.P. ("SPG, LP") is a subsidiary partnership of the Operating Partnership and is also a subsidiary partnership of the Company. The Operating Partnership is engaged primarily in the ownership, development, management, leasing, acquisition and expansion of income producing properties, primarily regional malls and community shopping centers. On August 9, 1996, the Company acquired the national shopping center business of DeBartolo Realty Corporation ("DRC"), The Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation ("EJDC") and their affiliates as the result of the merger of DRC with a subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, the number of properties in the portfolio increased by 61 and the management resources of the merged entities were combined to create one of the most experienced management teams in the shopping center business. Management believes that as a result of the Merger, the Portfolio Properties (as defined below), as measured in gross leasable area ("GLA"), are the largest and most geographically diverse portfolio of any publicly traded REIT in North America. Management also believes that the Company is the largest, as measured by market capitalization, of any publicly traded real estate company in North America. Management further believes that the Operating Partnership's relationships with tenants, access to capital markets and opportunities for economies of scale and operating efficiencies will be enhanced as a result of the Operating Partnership's substantially increased portfolio size and market capitalization. In conjunction with the Merger, DRC was renamed SD Property Group, Inc. (the "Managing General Partner") and is the managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Company is a general partner of the Operating Partnership and sole general partner of SPG, LP (the Company and the Managing General Partner are sometimes referred to collectively as the "General Partners"). As of September 30, 1996, 61.5% of the equity interest in the Operating Partnership was owned by the Company and 38.5% was owned by certain limited partners of the Operating Partnership, including the Simons (as defined below), certain members of the DeBartolo family, including certain affiliates and trusts and estates established for their benefit (collectively, the "DeBartolos"), and other limited partners.
In addition, SPG, LP holds substantially all of the economic interest in M.S. Management Associates, Inc. (the "SPG Management Company"). Melvin Simon, Herbert Simon, David Simon and certain of their affiliates, including certain other Simon family members and estates, trusts and other entities established for their benefit (collectively, the "Simons") or their affiliates hold the voting stock of the SPG Management Company. SPG Management Company manages certain regional malls and community shopping centers not wholly owned by the Operating Partnership and certain other properties and also engages in certain property development activities. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the economic interest in, and the SPG Management Company holds substantially all of the voting stock of, DeBartolo Properties Management, Inc. (the "DRC Management Company"),
which provides architectural, design, construction and other services to substantially all of the Portfolio Properties (as defined below) owned by the Operating Partnership, as well as certain other regional malls and community shopping centers owned by third parties.
The Operating Partnership owns or holds interests in a diversified portfolio of 183 income producing properties (the "Portfolio Properties"), including 111 super-regional and regional malls, 66 community shopping centers, two specialty retail centers and four mixed-use properties located in 32 states. The Portfolio Properties contain an aggregate of approximately 110 million square feet of GLA, of which approximately 66 million square feet is GLA owned by the Operating Partnership ("Owned GLA"). More than 3,600 different retailers occupy approximately 12,000 stores in the Portfolio Properties. Total estimated retail sales at the Portfolio Properties approached $16 billion in fiscal year 1995. In addition, the Operating Partnership has interests in eight properties under construction in the United States aggregating an additional seven million square feet of GLA, and owns land held for future development. The Operating Partnership, together with the SPG Management Company and its affiliated management companies, manage over 127 million square feet of GLA of retail and mixed-use properties.

THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
The Operating Partnership is engaged primarily in the ownership, development, management, leasing, acquisition and expansion of income producing properties, primarily regional malls and community shopping centers. On August 9, 1996, the Company acquired the national shopping center business of DRC, EJDC and their affiliates as the result of the merger of DRC with a subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the Merger, the number of properties in the portfolio increased by 61 and the management resources of the merged entities were combined to create one of the most experienced management teams in the shopping center business. Management believes that as a result of the Merger, the Portfolio Properties, as measured in GLA, are the largest and most geographically diverse portfolio of any publicly traded REIT in North America. Management also believes that the Company is the largest, as measured by market capitalization, of any publicly traded real estate company in North America. Management further believes that the Operating Partnership's relationships with tenants, access to capital markets and opportunities for economies of scale and operating efficiencies will be enhanced as a result of the Operating Partnership's substantially increased portfolio size and the Company's increased market capitalization. In conjunction with the Merger, DRC was renamed SD Property Group, Inc. and is the managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Company is a general partner of the Operating Partnership and sole general partner of SPG, LP. As of September 30, 1996, 61.5% of the equity interest in the Operating Partnership was owned by the Company and 38.5% was owned by certain limited partners of the Operating Partnership, including the Simons, the DeBartolos and other limited partners.
In addition, SPG, LP holds substantially all of the economic interest in, and the Simons or their affiliates hold the voting stock of, the SPG Management Company, which manages regional malls and community shopping centers not wholly owned by the Operating Partnership and certain other properties and also engages in certain property development activities. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the economic interest in, and the SPG Management Company holds substantially all of the voting stock of, the DRC Management Company, which provides architectural, design, construction and other services to substantially all of the Portfolio Properties owned by the Operating Partnership, as well as certain other regional malls and community shopping centers owned by third parties.
The following chart depicts the organizational and ownership structure of the Operating Partnership and certain affiliates:
STRUCTURE OF THE SIMON DEBARTOLO GROUP, INC.
[ORGANIZATIONAL CHART]
The information provided in these notes gives effect to the Merger and related transactions thereto.
(1) The Simons own less than 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and all of the Class B common stock of the Company.
(2) The DeBartolos own less than 1% of the outstanding common stock of the Company and all of the Class C common stock of the Company.
(3) The Company owns over 99.9% of the common stock of SD Property Group, Inc. and, both directly and indirectly through its ownership of the SD Property Group, Inc., owns a 61.5% interest in the Operating Partnership and, as general partner, owns 1% of the partnership units in SPG, LP (the "SPG Units") and a 49.5% interest in the capital of SPG, LP.
(4) The former limited partners of the Partnerships as a group (including the Simons and the DeBartolos) own a 38.5% beneficial interest in the Operating Partnership and SPG, LP, of which the Simons own 21.7% and the DeBartolos own 14.2%.
(5) The Operating Partnership owns a 49.5% special limited partnership interest in, and an additional 49.5% interest in the profits of, SPG, LP.
(6) Properties owned by SPG, LP will be held as they were held in the pre- merger structure. Later acquired properties will be held by, and future operations will be conducted through, the Operating Partnership. Until transferred to the Operating Partnership (assuming all necessary consents can be obtained), properties owned by SPG, LP will continue to be owned by SPG, LP.
DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO
Management believes that the Portfolio Properties are the largest, as measured in GLA, of any publicly traded REIT, with more regional malls than any other publicly traded REIT. Management believes that the geographic diversification of the Portfolio Properties should mitigate the effects of regional economic conditions and local factors, and that the diversified types of properties should reduce the impact of economic factors that may affect the retailers in any particular type of property. In addition, management believes that the large size of the portfolio should mitigate the effects of any other factors that may affect a limited group of shopping centers.
The Operating Partnership owns or holds interests in a diversified portfolio of 183 income producing Portfolio Properties, including 111 super-regional and regional malls, 66 community shopping centers, two specialty retail centers and owns four mixed-use properties located in 32 states. The Portfolio Properties contain an aggregate of approximately 110 million square feet of GLA, of which approximately 66 million square feet is GLA owned by the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Operating Partnership has interests in eight properties under construction in the United States, and owns land held for future development. The Operating Partnership, together with the SPG Management Company and its affiliated management companies, manage over 127 million square feet of GLA of retail and mixed-use properties. As of June 30, 1996, no single Portfolio Property accounted for more than 1.4% of GLA or 3.5% of the Operating Partnership's pro forma gross revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
The diversity of property type and market also provides the Operating Partnership with a broad spectrum of tenant relationships, ranging from in-line specialty shops to full service department stores; and from value retailers to high-end fashion merchants. More than 3,600 retailers occupy approximately 12,000 stores in the Portfolio Properties. Total estimated retail sales at the Portfolio Properties approached $16 billion in fiscal year 1995. Furthermore, no single retailer leases more than 10.9% of the Owned GLA in the income- producing properties or represents more than 7.7% of the annualized base rent from these properties.
The Portfolio Properties include properties owned 100% by the Operating Partnership (the "Wholly-Owned Properties"), and properties held as joint ventures (the "Joint Venture Properties"). Of the 183 Portfolio Properties, 139 are Wholly-Owned Properties, and 44 are Joint Venture Properties. The Operating Partnership manages the Wholly-Owned Properties and its affiliate, the SPG Management Company, manages all but two of the Joint Venture Properties.
COMPETITIVE POSITION
The Operating Partnership believes that it has a competitive advantage in the retail real estate business as a result of (i) its use of innovative retailing concepts, (ii) the strength of its management and operational expertise, (iii) its extensive experience and relationship with retailers and lenders and (iv) the size and diversity of its portfolio of properties.
The Operating Partnership has employed many creative retailing concepts in the Portfolio Properties, such as the power center, which transformed the community shopping center through its high concentration of anchor stores; the specialty retail center, with many unique merchandising and entertainment attractions located in a distinctive marketplace or location; the selective addition to regional malls of value-oriented tenants; and the combination of traditional retail stores with entertainment and restaurant facilities.
The senior executives of the General Partners have been recognized leaders in the shopping center industry over the past three decades. The Operating Partnership was among the first owners of shopping centers to integrate the full spectrum of services needed to manage, develop and acquire shopping centers, including leasing, development, management, marketing, research, budgeting, accounting, real estate tax management, collection, technical, architectural, construction, engineering, tenant coordination, legal and financial services. The depth and tenure of the management of the General Partners has enabled it to develop a results-driven team that is encouraged to adopt innovative strategies and solutions to the operation of the Operating Partnership's business.
Management believes its experience and relationships with retailers of almost every type make the Operating Partnership one of the few shopping center companies that, on a national scale, can develop, acquire, lease and manage virtually every kind of shopping center in both urban and suburban locations, from the community center to the super-regional mall, and from the high-fashion center to the value-oriented center. Management believes that such a wide spectrum of retail formats provides the Operating Partnership with a competitive advantage which enables it to respond quickly and effectively to the changing requirements of the market.
Management also believes that the size and diversity of its portfolio and operations enable the Operating Partnership to realize significant economies of scale, provides operating and leasing leverage, and enable the Operating Partnership to stay at the forefront of emerging retail trends.
OPERATING STRATEGY
The Operating Partnership's primary business objectives are to increase cash generated from operations and the value of the Operating Partnership's properties and operations. The Operating Partnership plans to achieve these objectives through a variety of methods discussed below, although no assurance can be made that such objectives will be achieved.
LEASING. The Operating Partnership pursues an active leasing strategy, which includes aggressively marketing available space; increasing occupancy; renewing leases at higher base rents per square foot; retenanting space occupied by underperforming tenants; and continuing to sign leases that provide for percentage rents and/or regular or periodic fixed contractual increases in base rents. Management believes that the Operating Partnership's extensive relationship with national retail tenants provides an advantage in leasing space at the Portfolio Properties.
MANAGEMENT. Drawing upon the expertise gained through management of over 127 million square feet of retail and mixed-use properties, the Operating Partnership seeks to maximize cash flow through a combination of an active merchandising program to maintain its shopping centers as inviting shopping destinations, continuation of its successful efforts to minimize overhead and operating costs, coordinated marketing and promotional activities and systematic planning and monitoring of results.
RENOVATION AND EXPANSION. The Operating Partnership has a number of renovation or expansion projects under construction or in the final stages of pre-construction development, including several existing Portfolio Properties which have significant expansion opportunities. The contemplated expansions would typically involve the addition of one or more anchor stores and/or additional mall store space. At each site where additional anchor space is contemplated, one or more retailers have expressed interest in occupying an anchor store in the expansion space. The Operating Partnership's current and recently completed renovation and expansion projects are described under "Recent Developments."
DEVELOPMENT. The Operating Partnership believes there will continue to be opportunities to develop regional malls and power centers in selected growing metropolitan markets. The Operating Partnership intends to undertake such development on a selected basis, and believes that it will have a competitive advantage in doing so as a result of its extensive development expertise, the breadth and depth of its relationships with retailers and its access to capital. Since the 1960's, the Operating Partnership or its predecessor has been among the most active developers, managers and redevelopers of shopping centers in the U.S. The Operating Partnership's current development activities are described under "Recent Developments."
ACQUISITIONS. The Operating Partnership intends selectively to acquire individual properties and portfolios of properties that meet its investment criteria as opportunities arise. Management believes that consolidation is occurring within the shopping center industry, creating opportunities for the Operating Partnership to acquire selected individual properties and portfolios of shopping centers. Management also believes that its extensive experience in the shopping center business, access to capital markets, familiarity with real estate markets and advanced management systems will allow it to evaluate, execute and integrate acquisitions competitively. Furthermore, management believes that the Operating Partnership will be able to manage and operate acquired properties on a cost effective basis as a result of (i) the scope of the Operating Partnership's existing portfolio and
(ii) the economies of scale of the regional mall business. Additionally, the Operating Partnership may be able to acquire properties on a tax-advantaged basis for the transferors through the issuance of its units of limited partnership ("OP Units"). The Operating Partnership may also be able to acquire properties through public or private debt financings or through equity financings of the Company. The consent of the lenders under certain of the Operating Partnership's long term debt agreements may be required in connection with substantial property acquisitions. See "Recent Developments."
FINANCING STRATEGY
Management seeks to maintain a well-balanced, conservative and flexible capital structure by: (i) targeting a ratio of debt to total market capitalization of approximately 50% or lower; (ii) managing and sequencing the maturity dates of its debt; (iii) borrowing primarily at fixed rates, and hedging floating rate indebtedness where appropriate; (iv) decreasing the proportion of borrowings done on a secured basis and increasing the amount of unencumbered cash flow and properties; (v) maintaining conservative debt service and fixed charge coverage ratios; (vi) pursuing liquidity and financial flexibility by maintaining cash reserves and substantial availability under its revolving credit facility; and (vii) as the Operating Partnership's Funds From Operations ("FFO") grows, gradually reducing the payout ratio and retaining more FFO for capital needs. Management believes that these strategies have enabled and should continue to enable the Operating Partnership to access the debt and equity capital markets for their long-term requirements such as debt refinancings and financing for development and acquisitions of additional properties and portfolios of properties. It is the Company's policy that Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. shall not incur indebtedness other than short-term trade, employee compensation, distributions payable or similar indebtedness that will be paid in the ordinary course of business, and that indebtedness shall instead by incurred by the Operating Partnership to the extent necessary to fund the business activities conducted by the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries and affiliates.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
THE MERGER
On August 9, 1996, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 26, 1996, as amended, among the Company, Day Acquisition Corp., an Ohio corporation and a subsidiary of the Company ("Sub"), and DRC, Sub was merged with and into DRC (the "Merger"). The Merger and certain other related matters were approved by stockholders of the Company and shareholders of DRC at their special meetings held on August 7, 1996 and August 6, 1996, respectively.
In connection with the Merger, outstanding shares of common stock of DRC, par value $.01 per share, were converted into the right to receive 0.68 shares of common stock of the Company, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. As a result, shareholders of DRC received approximately 37.9 million shares of common stock of the Company. In addition, all of the limited partners of SPG, LP and the Company, as general partner of SPG, LP, contributed an aggregate 49.5% interest of the outstanding partnership units of SPG, LP and an additional 49.5% interest in the profits of SPG, LP to the Operating Partnership, in exchange for a majority of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership.
For financial reporting purposes, the completion of the Merger and related transactions resulted in a reverse acquisition, directly or indirectly, of 100% of the net assets of DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P. ("DRP, LP"). See "Accounting Treatment of the Merger and the Other Related Transactions."
ACQUISITIONS, DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION
Since December 1994, the Operating Partnership has continued to acquire, develop, expand and renovate its portfolio. Such projects have historically been, and the Operating Partnership expects that in the future they will continue to be, financed principally with existing credit facilities, equity financings by the Company and cash flow
from operations.
COMPLETED ACQUISITIONS
The Operating Partnership selectively acquires individual properties and portfolios of properties that meet its investment criteria as opportunities arise. Since December 1994 the Company and DRC have completed 14 acquisitions resulting in an addition of approximately 4.5 million square feet of GLA to the Portfolio Properties from such acquisitions in properties in which the Company or DRC had previously owned no interests. The table below gives certain information regarding recently completed acquisitions.

COMPLETED DEVELOPMENTS AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The Operating Partnership continues to develop regional malls, power centers and specialty centers in selected growing metropolitan markets. The Operating Partnership undertakes such development on a selected basis and believes that it has a competitive advantage in doing so as a result of its development expertise, the breadth and depth of its relationships with retailers and its access to capital.

Pre-construction development continues on a number of project expansions, renovations and anchor additions at over 50 properties, including significant activity at properties such as Irving Mall in Irving, Texas; La Plaza in McAllen, Texas; North East Mall in Hurst, Texas; Prien Lake Mall in Lake Charles, Louisiana; Southern Park Mall in Youngstown, Ohio; University Mall in Pensacola, Florida; Mission Viejo Mall in Mission Viejo, California; and Northgate Mall in Seattle, Washington. The Operating Partnership expects to commence construction on many of these projects in the next 12 to 24 months.
FINANCINGS AND INDEBTEDNESS
On April 19, 1995, the Company completed an offering of 6,000,000 shares of common stock, and on May 10, 1995 the underwriters exercised a portion of the over-allotment option granted them in connection with that offering aggregating 241,845 shares generating net proceeds of $142 million. These proceeds were contributed to SPG, LP in exchange for partnership units and subsequently used to repay a term loan and pay down amounts outstanding on an unsecured revolving credit facility.
On October 27, 1995, the Company completed a $100 million private equity placement of 4,000,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (the "Series A Preferred Shares") with Algemeen Burgerlijk Pensioenfonds ("ABP"). The holder of the Series A Preferred Shares votes with the holders of the Company's common stock on all matters. The Company contributed the proceeds of this private equity placement to SPG, LP, in exchange for
preferred units in
SPG, LP which are entitled to preferential distributions equal to the dividends
paid on the Series A Preferred Shares held by ABP.
On September 6, 1996, the Operating Partnership filed a shelf registration statement (pursuant to which this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus are issued) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide for the offering, from time to time, of up to $750 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured debt securities of the Operating Partnership. Upon effectiveness of this shelf registration statement the Company intends to cause SPG, LP to withdraw its current shelf registration statement, which provides for the offering, from time to time, by SPG, LP of unsecured debt securities, or otherwise terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
On September 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership retired the DRC secured line of credit, which bore interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points, with proceeds from SPG, LP's two unsecured credit facilities, which bore interest at LIBOR plus 132.5 basis points.
On September 20, 1996, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective a shelf registration statement filed by the Company to provide for the offering, from time to time, of up to $750 million aggregate public offering price of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants of the Company. On September 27, 1996, pursuant to such shelf registration statement, the Company completed a $200 million public offering (the "Preferred Offering") of 8,000,000 shares of 8 3/4 % Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Shares"), generating net proceeds of approximately $193 million. The Company contributed the proceeds of such offering to the Operating Partnership in exchange for preferred units in the Operating Partnership, the terms of which are substantially identical to those applicable to the Series B Preferred Shares. The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds to repay $142.8 million of outstanding mortgage indebtedness and $50.2 million under SPG, LP's two unsecured credit facilities.
On September 27, 1996, the Operating Partnership obtained a $750 million, unsecured, three-year credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), which will initially bear interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points, and retired the outstanding borrowing of SPG, LP in the aggregate principal amount of $323 million under SPG, LP's two unsecured credit facilities, which bore interest at LIBOR plus 132.5 basis points. The Credit Facility increases the Operating Partnership's available capital by $150 million.
As of June 30, 1996, the Operating Partnership had consolidated debt on a pro forma basis (presenting information as if the Offering (as herein defined), the Preferred Offering and the Merger had been completed as of June 30, 1996) of $3,488.4 million (including $140.2 million applicable to minority interests) and the Operating Partnership's allocable share of unconsolidated debt of the Joint Venture Properties on a pro forma basis as of June 30, 1996 giving effect to the Merger was $370.8 million. Scheduled maturities of this debt for periods reflected are as follows:

(1) This table reflects that the proceeds of the Series B Preferred Shares were used to retire $65,600 maturing in 1996, $77,200 maturing in 1997 and $34,400 maturing in 1998. Additionally reflected are the net proceeds of the Offering which are expected to retire $72,103 maturing in 1996, $186,499 maturing in 1998 and $38,398 maturing in 1999. See "Use of Proceeds."
(2) $63,079 has received a commitment to be extended for up to three years.
(3) Includes $152,101 then outstanding on the credit facilities.
(4) Amount reflects the adjustment of DRC's indebtedness to fair market value.
See "Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information."
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Operating Partnership from the sale of the Notes offered hereby, after deducting total expenses estimated to be approximately $3 million, are estimated to be approximately $297 million. The Operating Partnership intends to use substantially all of the proceeds of the Offering to repay existing mortgage indebtedness of approximately $110.5 million, and to reduce the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility by approximately $186.5 million. Pending such use, the net proceeds may be invested in short-term income producing investments such as commercial paper, government securities or money market funds that invest in government securities. On , 1996, the weighted average interest rate on the interim indebtedness expected to be repaid with the aggregate net proceeds of the Offering and the weighted average maturity of such indebtedness, were 7.16% and 2.52 years, respectively.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF THE MERGER AND THE OTHER RELATED TRANSACTIONS
For financial reporting purposes, the completion of the Merger and related transactions resulted in a reverse acquisition, directly or indirectly, of 100% of the net assets of DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P. ("DRP, LP"). Although SPG was the accounting acquirer, DRP, LP (now the Operating Partnership) will be the primary operating partnership through which the future business of the Company will be conducted. However, SPG was the accounting acquirer upon completion of the Merger and related transactions and has majority control of DRP, LP. SPG's initial operating partnership, SPG, LP, is the predecessor to DRP, LP for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, the financial statements and ratios disclosed by the Operating Partnership for the post- merger periods will reflect the reverse acquisition of DRP, LP by SPG using the purchase method of accounting and for all pre-merger comparative periods, the financial statements and ratios disclosed by the Operating Partnership will reflect the financial statements of SPG, LP, as the predecessor to the Operating Partnership for financial statrement purposes.
CAPITALIZATION

(1) Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1994 includes $27.2 million of additional non-recurring contingent interest paid in connection with the refinancing of a Portfolio Property. The property lender was
entitled to
participate in the appreciated market value of the Portfolio Property upon
refinancing. Management does not presently expect to enter into financing
arrangements with similar participation features in the future. Accordingly,
management considers the payment made to the lender unusual in nature. As
explained in footnote (5) below, unusual or extraordinary items are excluded
for purposes of computing FFO. Accordingly, this item has been excluded from
FFO in this table and elsewhere in this Prospectus Supplement.
(2) Per unit data are reflected only for the periods from December 20, 1993 through June 30, 1996. Per unit data are not relevant for the historical combined financial statements of the Predecessor since such financial statements are a combined presentation of partnerships and corporations.
(3) For pro forma purposes, the Operating Partnership has combined investments in properties, partnerships and joint ventures. The Operating Partnership has not completed the allocation of the purchase price between these categories. The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based upon currently available information and upon certain assumptions that management of the General Partners believes are reasonable. There can be no assurance that the actual adjustments will not differ significantly from the pro forma adjustments reflected in the pro forma financial information.
(4) Pro forma debt of the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 1996 includes $3,336.3 and $152.1 of mortgage indebtedness and outstanding indebtedness under the credit facilities, respectively. Historical debt of SPG, LP as of June 30, 1996 and 1995 and December 31, 1995 includes $1,867.5 million, $1,694.7 million and $1,784.8 million, respectively, of mortgage indebtedness and $311.0 million, $130.8 million and $196.0 million, respectively, of outstanding indebtedness under the credit facilities, respectively.
(5) Funds from Operations ("FFO"), as defined by the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), means net income without giving
effect to depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from extraordinary
items, gains or losses on sales of real estate, gains or losses on
investments in marketable securities and any provision/benefit for income
taxes for such period, plus the allocable portion, based on ownership
interest, of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures, all determined on a
consistent basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management believes that FFO is an important and widely used measure of the
operating performance of REITs which provides a relevant basis for comparison
among REITs. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing the
performance of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's method
of calculating FFO may be different from the methods used by other REITs. FFO
(i) does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by generally
accepted accounting principles, (ii) should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash
flows from operating, investing and financing activities and (iii) is not an
alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. In March 1995, NAREIT
modified its definition of FFO. The modified definition provides that
amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-rental real
estate assets are no longer to be added back to net income in arriving at
FFO. The modified definition was adopted beginning in 1996. Additionally the
FFO for prior periods have been restated to reflect the new definition in
order to make the amounts comparative.
The following table reconciles pro forma combined net income of the Operating Partnership to pro forma FFO for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1995:

(6)For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings have been calculated by adding fixed charges, excluding capitalized interest, to income (loss) from continuing operations including income from minority interests which have fixed charges, and including distributed operating income from unconsolidated joint ventures instead of income from unconsolidated joint ventures. Fixed charges consist of interest costs, whether expensed or capitalized, the interest component of rental expense and amortization of principal.
(7)Total EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for all Portfolio Properties. EBITDA after minority interest represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for all Portfolio Properties after distribution to the third-party joint venture partners. EBITDA (i) does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management believes that in addition to cash flows and net income, EBITDA is a useful financial performance measurement for assessing the operating performance of an equity REIT because, together with net income and cash flows, EBITDA provides investors with an additional basis to evaluate the ability of a REIT to incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures. To evaluate EBITDA and the trends it depicts, the components of EBITDA, such as revenues and operating expenses, should be considered. The Operating Partnership's method of calculating EBITDA may be different from the methods used by other REITs. The Company's weighted average ownership interest in the operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was 61.1% and 58.5%, respectively, and was 60.3%, 55.2% and 52.2% in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company's ownership interest in SPG, LP was 61.1% and 60.5% at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and was 61.0% and 56.4% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
(8)For purposes of computing the ratio of EBITDA after minority interest to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, fixed charges and preferred stock dividends consist of interest costs, whether expensed or capitalized and including the Operating Partnership's pro rata share of joint venture interest expense, the
interest component of rental expense and amortization of principal, plus any dividends on outstanding preferred stock.
(9)As specified in the Indenture, Debt consists of indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries, less any portion attributable to minority interests, plus the Operating Partnership's allocable portion of indebtedness of unconsolidated joint ventures from borrowed money, secured indebtedness, reimbursement obligations in connection with letters of credit and capitalized leases. Adjusted Total Assets consist of the sum of: the result of multiplying the sum of the shares of the Company's Common Stock issued in the IPO and units of the Operating Partnership not held by the Company by the IPO Price of $22.25; the principal amount of consolidated debt of the Operating Partnership on the date of the IPO less any portion applicable to minority interests; the Operating Partnership's allocable portion of debt of unconsolidated joint ventures on the date of the IPO; the purchase price or cost of real estate assets acquired or developed after the date of the IPO; the value of the Merger, compiled as the sum of the purchase price including all related closing costs and the value of all outstanding indebtedness less any portion attributable to minority interests, including the Operating Partnership's allocable share, based on its ownership interest of outstanding indebtedness of unconsolidated joint ventures at the Merger date; and working capital. See "Description of the Notes - Certain Covenants."
(10)As specified in the Indenture, Secured Debt consists of Debt secured by a mortgage or other encumbrance on any property of the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary. See "Description of the Notes - Certain Covenants."
(11)As specified in the Indenture, Unencumbered Assets is equal to Adjusted Total Assets multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is Unencumbered Annualized EBITDA and the denominator of which is Annualized EBITDA. Unencumbered Annualized EBITDA means Annualized EBITDA less any portion attributable to assets serving as collateral for Secured Debt. As specified in the Indenture, Annualized EBITDA means Net Income for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, plus amounts deducted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and provisions for losses or realized losses on properties, less gains on properties and with such other adjustments as are necessary to exclude the effect of extraordinary items, and as adjusted to reflect the assumption that income earned as a result of any assets having been placed in service since the end of such period had been earned, on an annualized basis, during such period. Unsecured Debt means Debt not secured by a mortgage or other encumbrance on any property of the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary. See "Description of the Notes - Certain Covenants."
(12)For purposes of computing the ratio of EBITDA After Minority Interest to Interest Expense, EBITDA After Minority Interest represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for all properties after distribution to the third-party joint venture partners. Interest expense includes the Company's pro rata share of joint venture interest expense and is reduced by amortization of debt issuance costs.
(13)Represents the combined EBITDA and EBITDA After Minority Interest of the Portfolio Properties for the full year ended December 31, 1993.
BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
THE PORTFOLIO PROPERTIES
Management believes that the Portfolio Properties comprise the largest (measured by GLA) and most geographically diverse portfolio of any publicly traded REIT and that the Company has interests in more regional malls than any other publicly traded REIT. Management also expects that geographic diversification should mitigate the effects of regional economic conditions and local factors, and that diversified types of Portfolio Properties will reduce the impact of economic factors that may affect the retailers in any particular type of Portfolio Property. In addition, management believes that the large size of the portfolio should mitigate the effects of any other factors that may affect a limited group of shopping centers.
No single income-producing Portfolio Property accounted for more than 1.4% of GLA as of June 30, 1996 or for more than 3.5% of the Operating Partnership's pro forma gross revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996. No single retailer leased more than 10.9% of Owned GLA in the Portfolio Properties or represented more than 7.7% of the annualized base rent from these properties.
The following table summarizes on a combined basis, as of June 30, 1996, certain information with respect to the Portfolio Properties, in total and by type of shopping center and retailer:

Regional malls, specialty retail centers and the retail space at the mixed- use properties represented 84% of the Portfolio Properties' GLA, 81% of total Owned GLA and 85% of their total annualized base rent as of June 30, 1996. They range in size from 208,000 to 1.5 million square feet of GLA, with 107 having more than 400,000 square feet. Overall, the malls contain over 10,300 tenants, including approximately 450 anchors. As of June 30, 1996, 83.4% of the total Owned GLA at the regional malls was leased, at an average annualized base rent of $20.18 per square foot. (Data for specialty retail centers and the retail space at mixed-use properties are also included, without further reference, in all data in this section concerning regional malls.

TENANTS
There are over 190 anchors in the community shopping centers, most of which occupy at least 15,000 square feet of space. Anchor space represents 69% of the GLA in these properties, and unlike in regional malls, most anchors lease their space from the Operating Partnership. All but twelve of the anchor spaces in the community shopping centers are occupied as of June 30, 1996. No single anchor leases stores that in the aggregate constitute more than 12.4% of the total Owned GLA in the community shopping center portfolio and no anchor accounts for more than 7.6% of the total annualized base rent from these properties.
There are nearly 1,000 mall and freestanding tenants in the community shopping centers. Substantially all of these stores lease space from the Operating Partnership. Mall and freestanding store space represents approximately 4.1 million of the 10.5 million square feet of Owned GLA of these properties. No single mall and freestanding store or chain occupies more than 0.15% of the total Owned GLA of all Portfolio Properties or accounts for more than 1.1% of the total annualized base rent from the community shopping centers.
The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 1996, certain information relating to the ten tenants whose stores in the aggregate occupy the most square feet of GLA in the community shopping centers:

SPECIALTY RETAIL CENTERS AND MIXED-USE PROPERTIES
The income-producing Portfolio Properties include two specialty retail centers and four mixed-use properties. The two specialty retail centers, The Forum Shops at Caesars in Las Vegas, Nevada and Trolley Square in Salt Lake City, Utah, contain an aggregate of approximately 500,000 square feet of GLA. As of June 30, 1996, The Forum Shops' average base rent per leased square foot of mall store GLA was $60, while the rate at Trolley Square was $17 per leased square foot. Mall store sales for the 12 months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 at The Forum Shops were $1,194, and at Trolley Square were $275, respectively. As of June 30, 1996, 95.9% of Owned GLA at The Forum Shops and 76.3% of Owned GLA at Trolley Square was leased or committed for lease.
The mixed-use properties consist of Fashion Center at Pentagon City in Arlington, Virginia, at which the Operating Partnership has an interest only in the retail and office portions of the complex; New Orleans Centre and CNG Tower in New Orleans, Louisiana; and two properties with almost exclusively office space, O'Hare International Center and Riverway in Rosemont, Illinois. These four properties contain an aggregate of approximately 2.0 million square feet of office space and approximately 1.4 million square feet of retail space. The mall store space at Fashion Center was 98.6% leased as of June 30, 1996, and mall store sales were $626 per leased square foot. The average base rent per leased square foot at Fashion Center was $41.98 at June 30, 1996.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
GENERAL
The following description of the specific terms of the Notes supplements the description of the general terms and provisions of Debt Securities set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "Description of Debt Securities."
The 200 Notes, the 200 Notes and the 20 Notes constitute separate series of debt securities (which are more fully described in the accompanying Prospectus) each to be issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of October__, 1996, between the Operating Partnership and Chemical Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated October__, 1996 between the Operating Partnership and the Trustee (together, the "Indenture") and will be limited to an aggregate principal amount of $300 million. The terms of the Notes include those provisions contained in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement thereof. The following summary of certain provisions of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms used below.
The Notes will be direct, unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and will rank pari passu with each other and with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Operating Partnership from time to time outstanding. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to (i) the prior claims of each secured mortgage lender to any specific Portfolio Property which secures such lender's mortgage and (ii) any claims of creditors of entities wholly or partly owned, directly or indirectly, by the Operating Partnership. Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, and as described under "- Certain Covenants - Limitations on Incurrence of Debt" below, the Indenture will permit the Operating Partnership to incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness. At October ___, 1996, the Operating Partnership had unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness aggregating $ million.
The 200 Notes will mature on , 200 , the 200 Notes will mature on , 200 and the 20 Notes will mature on , 20 (each a "Maturity Date"). The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund provisions. The Notes will be issued only in fully registered, book-entry form without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples, thereof, except under the limited circumstances described below under "Book-Entry System."
Except as described under "- Certain Covenants - Limitations on Incurrence of Debt" below and under "Description of Debt Securities - Merger, Consolidation or Sale" in the accompanying Prospectus, the Indenture does not contain any provisions that would limit the ability of the Operating Partnership to incur indebtedness or that would afford holders of the Notes protection in the event of (i) a highly leveraged or similar transaction involving the Operating Partnership, the Company or the General Partners of the Operating Partnership, or any affiliate of any such party, (ii) a change of control, or (iii) a reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction involving the Operating Partnership that may adversely affect the holders of the Notes. In addition, subject to the limitations set forth under "Description of Debt Securities - Merger, Consolidation or Sale" in the accompanying Prospectus, the Operating Partnership may, in the future, enter into certain transactions such as the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or the merger or consolidation of the Operating Partnership that would increase the amount of the Operating Partnership's indebtedness or substantially reduce or eliminate the Operating Partnership's assets, which may have an adverse effect on the Operating Partnership's ability to service its indebtedness, including the Notes. The Operating Partnership and its management have no present intention of engaging in a highly leveraged or similar transaction involving the Operating Partnership except that, subject to the receipt of required consents, it is contemplated that subsequent to the first anniversary of the date of the Merger,
reorganizational transactions will be
effected so that ultimately the Operating Partnership will directly own all of
the property and partnership interests now owned by SPG, LP.
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
The 200 Notes will bear interest at % per annum, the 200 Notes will bear interest at % per annum and the 20 Notes will bear interest at % per annum, in each case from , 1996 or from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid, payable semi-annually in arrears on each and , commencing , 1996 (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), and on the Maturity Date, to the persons (the "Holders") in whose names the applicable Notes are registered in the security register applicable to the Notes at the close of business 15 calendar days prior to such payment date regardless of whether such day is a Business Day, as defined below (each, a "Regular Record Date"). Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
The principal of each Note payable on the Maturity Date will be paid against presentation and surrender of such Note at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, located initially at 450 West 33rd Street, New York, New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.
CERTAIN COVENANTS
LIMITATIONS ON INCURRENCE OF DEBT. The Operating Partnership will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary (as defined below) to, incur any Debt (as defined below), other than intercompany debt (representing Debt to which the only parties are the Company, the Operating Partnership and any of their Subsidiaries (but only so long as such Debt is held solely by any of the Company, the Operating Partnership and any Subsidiary) that is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes), if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt would be greater than 60% of the sum of (i) the Operating Partnership's Adjusted Total Assets (as defined below) as of the end of the fiscal quarter prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (ii) any increase in Adjusted Total Assets from the end of such quarter including, without limitation, any pro forma increase from the application of the proceeds of such additional Debt.
In addition to the foregoing limitation on the incurrence of Debt, the Operating Partnership will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt secured by any mortgage, lien, pledge, encumbrance or security interest of any kind upon any of the property of the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary ("Secured Debt"), whether owned at the date of the Indenture or thereafter acquired, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt is greater than 55% of the sum of (i) the Operating Partnership's Adjusted Total Assets as of the end of the fiscal quarter prior to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt and (ii) any increase in Adjusted Total Assets from the end of such quarter including, without limitation, any pro forma increase from the application of the proceeds of such additional Secured Debt.
In addition to the foregoing limitations on the incurrence of Debt, the
Operating Partnership will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur
any Debt if the ratio of Annualized EBITDA After Minority Interest to Interest
Expense (in each case as defined below) for the period consisting of the four
consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such
additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.75 to 1 on a pro
forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and to the
application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that
(i) such Debt and any other Debt incurred since the first day of such
four-quarter period had been incurred, and the proceeds therefrom had been
applied (to whatever purposes such proceeds had been applied as of the date of
calculation of such ratio), at the beginning of such period, (ii) any other
Debt that has been repaid or retired since the first day of such four-quarter
period had been repaid or retired at the beginning of such period (except that,
in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit
facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt
during such period), (iii) any income earned as a result of any assets having
been placed in service since the end of such four-quarter period had been
earned, on an annualized basis, during such period, and (iv) in the case of any
acquisition or disposition by the Operating Partnership, any Subsidiary or any
unconsolidated joint venture in which the Operating Partnership or
any
Subsidiary owns an interest, of any assets since the first day of such
four-quarter period, including, without limitation, by merger, stock purchase
or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition and any
related repayment of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period with
the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition
being included in such pro forma calculation.
For purposes of the foregoing provisions regarding the limitation on the incurrence of Debt, Debt shall be deemed to be "incurred" by the Operating Partnership, its Subsidiaries and by any unconsolidated joint venture, whenever the Operating Partnership, any Subsidiary, or any unconsolidated joint venture, as the case may be, shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof.
MAINTENANCE OF UNENCUMBERED ASSETS. The Operating Partnership is required to maintain Unencumbered Assets (as defined below) of not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt (as defined below) of the Operating Partnership.
As used herein:
"ADJUSTED TOTAL ASSETS" as of any date means the sum of (i) the defined amount determined by multiplying the sum of the shares of common stock of the Company issued in the initial public offering of the Company ("IPO") and the units of the Operating Partnership not held by the Company outstanding on the date of the IPO, by $22.25 (the "IPO Price"), (ii) the principal amount of the outstanding consolidated debt of the Company on the date of the IPO, less any portion applicable to minority interests, (iii) the Operating Partnership's allocable portion, based on its ownership interest, of outstanding indebtedness of unconsolidated joint ventures on the date of the IPO, (iv) the purchase price or cost of any real estate assets acquired (including the value, at the time of such acquisition, of any units of the Operating Partnership or shares of Common Stock of the Company issued in connection therewith) or developed after the IPO by the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary, less any portion attributable to minority interests, plus the Operating Partnership's allocable portion, based on its ownership interest, of the purchase price or cost of any real estate assets acquired or developed after the IPO by any unconsolidated joint venture, (v) the value of the Merger compiled as the sum of (a) the purchase price including all related closing costs and (b) the value of all outstanding indebtedness less any portion attributable to minority interests, including the Operating Partnership's allocable share, based on its ownership interest, of outstanding indebtedness of unconsolidated joint ventures at the Merger date, and (vi) working capital of the Operating Partnership; subject, however, to reduction by the amount of the proceeds of any real estate assets disposed of after the IPO by the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary, less any portion applicable to minority interests, and by the Operating Partnership's allocable portion, based on its ownership interest, of the proceeds of any real estate assets disposed of after the IPO by unconsolidated joint ventures. On a pro forma basis as of June 30, 1996, the Operating Partnership's Adjusted Total Assets were $7.81 billion.
"ANNUALIZED EBITDA AFTER MINORITY INTEREST" means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization with other adjustments as are necessary to exclude the effect of items classified as extraordinary items in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for all properties after distribution to the third party joint ventures ("EBITDA After Minority Interest"), adjusted to reflect the assumption that (i) any income earned as a result of any assets having been placed in service since the end of such period had been earned, on an annualized basis, during such period, and (ii) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Operating Partnership, any Subsidiary or any unconsolidated joint venture in which the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary owns an interest, of any assets since the first day of such period, including, without limitation, by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition and any related repayment of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in the calculation of Annualized EBITDA, all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
"DEBT" means any indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, less any portion applicable to minority interests, plus the Operating Partnership's allocable portion, based on its ownership interest, of indebtedness of unconsolidated joint ventures, in respect of (i) borrowed money evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or similar instruments, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (ii) indebtedness secured by any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance or any security interest existing on property owned by the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary directly, or indirectly through unconsolidated joint ventures, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (iii) reimbursement obligations, contingent or otherwise, in connection with any letters of credit actually issued or amounts representing the balance deferred and unpaid of the purchase price of any property, except any such balance that constitutes an accrued expense or trade payable, and (iv) any lease of property by the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary as lessee which is reflected in the Operating Partnership's consolidated balance sheet as a capitalized lease or any lease of property by an unconsolidated joint venture as lessee which is reflected in such joint
venture's balance sheet as a capitalized lease, in each case, in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles; provided, that Debt also
includes, to the extent not otherwise included, any obligation by the Operating
Partnership or any Subsidiary to be liable for, or to pay, as obligor,
guarantor or otherwise, items of indebtedness of another person (other than the
Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary) described in clauses (i) through
(iv) above (or, in the case of any such obligation made jointly with another

REPAYMENT OF THE 20 NOTES AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS
The 20 Notes may be repaid on , 20 (the "Option Payment Date"), at the option of the registered Holders at 100% of their principal amount together with accrued interest to the Option Payment Date. In order for a Holder to exercise this option, the Operating Partnership must receive at its office or agency in New York, New York, during the period beginning on , 20 , and ending at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on , 20 (or, if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), the 20 Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment on the Option Payment Date" on the 20 Note duly completed. Any such notice received by the Operating Partnership during the period beginning on , 20 , and ending at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on , 20 , shall be irrevocable. The repayment option may be exercised for less than the entire principal amount of the 20 Notes held by each such Holder, so long as the principal amount that is to be repaid is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any 20 Note for repayment will be determined by the Operating Partnership, whose determination will be final and binding.
Failure by the Operating Partnership to repay the 20 Notes when required as described in the preceding paragraph will result in an Event of Default under the Indenture.
As described below under "- Book Entry System," the 20 Notes will be registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, which will be the Holder thereof entitled to exercise the repayment option. In order to ensure that DTC or its nominee will exercise such option in a timely manner with respect to a particular 20 Note, the beneficial owner of an interest in such Note must instruct the broker or other participant (as defined below) through which it holds an interest in such 20 Note to notify DTC or its nominee of its desire to exercise such option. Different participants may have different cut-off times for accepting instructions from their customers and, accordingly, each such beneficial owner should consult the participant through which it holds an interest in the 20 Notes to ascertain the cut-off time by which such an instruction must be given for timely notice to be delivered to DTC or its nominee.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The Notes may be redeemed at any time after ____________ at the option of
the Operating Partnership, in whole or from time to time in part, at a
redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Notes
being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date and
(ii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined below), if any, with respect to such
Notes (the "Redemption Price").
If notice of redemption has been given as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption shall have been made available on the redemption date referred to in such notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on the date fixed for such redemption specified in such notice and the only right of the Holders of the Notes from and after the redemption date will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender of such Notes in accordance with such notice.
Notice of any optional redemption of any Notes will 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 will specify, among other items, the Redemption price and the principal amount of the Notes held by such Holder to be redeemed.
If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at the option of the Operating Partnership, the Operating Partnership will notify the Trustee at least 45 days prior to giving notice of redemption (or such shorter period as may be satisfactory to the Trustee) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and their redemption date. The Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part.
As used herein:
"MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT" means, in connection with any optional redemption or accelerated payment of any Notes, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment) that would have been payable in respect of each such dollar if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a semi-annual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third Business Day preceding the date notice of such redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, to the date of redemption or accelerated payment, over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed or accelerated.
"REINVESTMENT RATE" means the yield on treasury securities at a constant maturity corresponding to the remaining life (as of the date of redemption, and rounded to the nearest month) to Stated Maturity of the principal being redeemed (the "Treasury Yield"), plus .25%. For purposes hereof, the Treasury Yield shall be equal to the arithmetic mean of the yields published in the Statistical Release under the heading "Week Ending" for "U.S. Government Securities - Treasury Constant Maturities" with a maturity equal to such remaining life; provided, that if no published maturity exactly corresponds to such remaining life, then the Treasury Yield shall be interpolated or extrapolated on a straight-line basis from the arithmetic means of the yields for the next shortest and next longest published maturities. For purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole amount shall be used. If the format or content of the Statistical Release changes in a manner that precludes determination of the Treasury Yield in the above manner, then the Treasury Yield shall be determined in the manner that most closely approximates the above manner, as reasonably determined by the Operating Partnership.
"STATISTICAL RELEASE" means the statistical release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which reports yields on actively traded United States
government
securities adjusted to constant maturities, or, if such statistical release is
not published at the time of any determination under the Indenture, then such
other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated by the Operating
Partnership.
BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM
The following are summaries of certain rules and operating procedures of DTC that affect the payment of principal and interest and transfers in the Global Notes. Upon issuance, each series of Notes will only be issued in the form of a Global Note which will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Notes in definitive form under the limited circumstances described below, a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole (i) by DTC to a nominee of DTC, (ii) by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or (iii) by DTC or any such nominee to a successor of DTC or a nominee of such successor.
Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be limited to persons that have accounts with DTC for such Global Note ("participants") or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a Global Note, DTC will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants' accounts with the respective principal amounts of the Notes represented by such Global Note beneficially owned by such participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to interests of participants) and on the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons holding through participants). The laws of some states may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such laws may limit or impair the ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the Global Notes.
So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of a Global Note, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Notes represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note will not be entitled to have Notes represented by such Global Note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or Holders thereof under the Indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a Holder under the Indenture. The Operating Partnership understands that under existing industry practices, if the Operating Partnership requests any action of Holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note desires to give or take any action that a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture, DTC would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take such action, and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.
Principal and interest payments on interests represented by a Global Note will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of such Global Note. None of the Operating Partnership, the Trustee or any agent of the Operating Partnership or agent of the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payment made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
The Operating Partnership expects that DTC, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Global Note, will immediately credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in such Global Note as shown on the records of DTC. The Operating Partnership also expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes held through such participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practice, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such participants.
If DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the Notes and the Operating Partnership fails to appoint a successor depository registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days, the Operating Partnership will issue the Notes in definitive form in exchange for the Global Notes. Any Notes issued in definitive form in exchange for the Global Notes will be registered in such name or names, and will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and such integral multiples thereof, as DTC shall instruct the Trustee. It is expected that such instructions will be based upon directions received by DTC from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes.
DTC has advised the Operating Partnership of the following information regarding DTC. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the Banking Law of the State of New York, a member of the Federal
Reserve System, a
"clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial
Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of
Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities of its
participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions
among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes
in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical
movement of securities certificates. DTC's participants include securities
brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain
other organizations, some of which (or their representatives) own DTC. Access
to the DTC book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks,
brokers and dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a
custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly.
SAME-DAY SETTLEMENT AND PAYMENT
Settlement for the Notes will be made by the Underwriters (as defined herein) in immediately available funds. All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes will be made by the Operating Partnership in immediately available funds.
Secondary trading in long-term notes and debentures of corporate issuers is generally settled in clearing house or next-day funds. In contrast, the Notes will trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System until maturity or until the Notes are issued in certificated form, and secondary market trading activity in the Notes will therefore be required by DTC to settle in immediately available funds. No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, of settlement in immediately available funds on trading activity in the Notes.

The assumptions give effect to the Offering, the Preferred Offering and the Merger under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The pro forma financial information is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if the transactions had been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented, nor does it purport to represent the future financial position and results of operations for future periods.

SIMON-DEBARTOLO GROUP, L.P.
NOTES AND MANAGEMENT ASSUMPTIONS TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR UNIT AND PER UNIT AMOUNTS)
1. Basis of Presentation
Simon Property Group, LP ("SPG, LP") was formed as a Delaware limited partnership in 1993 in connection with Simon Property Group, Inc.'s ("SPG") initial public offering. SPG, as the sole general partner of SPG, LP, has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the management and control of SPG, LP. As of June 30, 1996, SPG owned 61.1% of SPG, LP. SPG, LP is engaged primarily in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, expansion and development of real estate properties, primarily regional malls and community shopping centers. As of June 30, 1996, SPG, LP owned or held an interest in 122 income-producing properties, which consist of 62 regional malls, 55 community shopping centers, two specialty retail centers and three mixed-use properties. SPG, LP also owned interests in two regional malls and one specialty retail center under construction and seven parcels of land held for future development.
On August 9, 1996, the merger and other related transactions, pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger between SPG, an acquisition subsidiary of SPG and DeBartolo Realty Corporation ("DRC"), was consummated (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the Merger, SPG acquired all the outstanding common stock of DRC (55,712,529 shares), through the acquisition subsidiary, at an exchange ratio of 0.68 share of SPG common stock for each share of DRC common stock (the "Exchange Ratio"). DRC and the acquisition subsidiary merged with DRC as the surviving entity. The closing price of SPG's common stock was $24.375 per share on August 9, 1996. This portion of the transaction was valued at approximately $923.4 million and resulted in SPG obtaining an indirect 61.9% general partnership interest in DRC's operating partnership, DeBartolo Realty Partnership, LP ("DRP, LP"). The value of the acquisition of DRC was based upon the number of shares (55,712,529), the Exchange Ratio and the closing price of SPG's common stock per share on August 9, 1996 ($24.375).
DRP, LP, like SPG, LP, is engaged primarily in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, expansion and development of real estate properties, primarily regional malls and community shopping centers. As of June 30, 1996, DRP, LP owned or held an interest in 50 regional malls, 11 community shopping centers and land held for future development.
In connection with the Merger, SPG changed its name to Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. ("SDG" or the "Company"). In addition, simultaneous with the Merger, the general and limited partners of SPG, LP agreed to contribute 99% of their interests (49.5% partnership interest and an additional 49.5% interest in the profits of SPG, LP) to DRP, LP in exchange for units of DRP, LP, whose name was changed to Simon-DeBartolo Group, LP ("SDG, LP"). The limited partners of DRP, LP approved the contribution made by the partners of SPG, LP and also agreed to exchange their 38.1% partnership interest in DRP, LP, adjusted for the Exchange Ratio, for a smaller partnership interest in SDG, LP. The exchange of the limited partners' interest in DRP, LP for units of SDG, LP has been accounted for as an acquisition of minority interest and is valued based on the estimated fair value of the consideration issued (approximately $566.9 million). The units of SDG, LP are convertible into stock of SDG on a one-for- one basis. Therefore, the value of the acquisition of the limited partners' interest acquired was based upon the number of units (34,203,623), the Exchange Ratio and the closing price of SPG's common stock per share on August 9, 1996 ($24.375). The limited partners of SPG, LP received a 23.8% interest in SDG, LP for contributing their 38.9% interest in SPG, LP to SDG, LP. The interests transferred by the partners of SPG, LP to DRP, LP have been appropriately reflected at historical costs. Upon completion of the Merger, SDG directly and indirectly owned a controlling 61.4% interest in SDG, LP.
For financial reporting purposes, the completion of the Merger resulted in a reverse acquisition of directly or indirectly 100% of the net assets of DRP, LP for $1,512,960, including related transaction costs. Although SPG was the accounting acquirer, SDG, LP, formerly the DRC operating partnership (DRP, LP), will be the primary operating partnership through which the future business of SDG will be conducted. As a result of the Merger, SPG, LP became a subsidiary of SDG, LP. However, SPG was the accounting acquirer and upon completion of the Merger has the majority control of SDG, LP. SPG's initial operating partnership (SPG, LP) is the predecessor to SDG, LP for financial statement purposes. Accordingly the financial statements disclosed by SDG, LP for the post-merger periods will reflect the reverse acquisition of DRP, LP by SPG using the purchase method of accounting and for all pre-merger comparative periods, the financial statements disclosed by the SDG, LP will reflect the financial statements of SPG, LP.

NOTES AND MANAGEMENT ASSUMPTIONS TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR UNIT AND PER UNIT AMOUNTS)
The accompanying financial statements present the unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet of the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 1996 and the unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations of the Operating Partnership for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1995.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 is presented as if the issuance of $300 million of Notes by the Operating Partnership (the "Offering"), the issuance of $200 million of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock by the Company (the "Preferred Offering") and the Merger, which resulted in a revserse acquisition at the operating partnership level, had occurred on June 30, 1996. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1995 are presented as if the Offering, the Preferred Offering and the Merger, which resulted in a reverse acquisition at the operating partnership level, had occurred as of January 1, 1995 and carried forward through June 30, 1996.
Preparation of the pro forma financial information was based on assumptions deemed appropriate by the management of the General Partners. The assumptions give effect to the Offering, the Preferred Offering and the Merger, which resulted in a reverse acquisition at the operating partnership level, under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The pro forma financial information is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if the transactions had been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented, nor does it purport to represent the future financial position and results of operations for future periods. The pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of SPG, LP incorporated by reference in the accompanying Prospectus and the historical financial statements of DRP, LP incorporated by reference in the accompanying Prospectus.
The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based upon currently available information and upon certain assumptions that management of the General Partners believes are reasonable. There can be no assurance that the actual adjustments will not differ significantly from the pro forma adjustments reflected in the pro forma financial information.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED OCTOBER 21, 1996 **
PROSPECTUS

(the "Operating Partnership") may from time to time offer in one or more series unsecured non-convertible investment grade debt securities ("Debt Securities") with an aggregate public offering price of up to $750,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency based on the exchange rate at the time of sale) in amounts, at prices and on terms to be set forth in one or more supplements to this Prospectus (each a "Prospectus Supplement"). The Operating Partnership is a subsidiary of Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. (the "Company") and is the Company's primary operating partnership following the consummation on August 9, 1996 of the merger of DeBartolo Realty Corporation with a subsidiary of the Company.
The specific terms of the Debt Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is being delivered will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and will include a specific title, aggregate principal amount, currency, form (which may be registered or bearer, or certificated or global), authorized denominations, maturity, rate (or manner of calculation thereof) and time of payment of interest, terms for redemption at the option of the Operating Partnership or repayment at the option of the holder, terms for sinking fund payments, covenants and any initial public offering price.
The applicable Prospectus Supplement will also contain information, where applicable, concerning material United States federal income tax considerations relating to, and any listing on a securities exchange of, the Debt Securities covered by such Prospectus Supplement.
The Debt Securities may be offered directly, through agents designated from time to time by the Operating Partnership, or to and through underwriters or dealers. If any agents, dealers or underwriters are involved in the sale of any of the Debt Securities, their names, and any applicable purchase price, fee, commission or discount arrangement between or among them, will be set forth, or will be calculable from the information set forth, in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement. See "Plan of Distribution." No Debt Securities may be sold without delivery of a Prospectus Supplement describing the method and terms of the offering of such series of Debt Securities.
The Debt Securities will be direct, unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. On June 30, 1996, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Merger (as defined below), the total outstanding debt of the Operating Partnership including its pro rata share of joint venture debt was $3,889 million, 92.0% of which was secured debt. The Indenture pursuant to which the Debt Securities are issued does not limit the amount of other indebtedness of the Operating Partnership that may rank equally with the Debt Securities.

Simon-DeBartolo Group, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") is a subsidiary partnership of Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. (the "Company") (formerly known as Simon Property Group, Inc. ("SPG")), and is the primary operating partnership of the Company as a result of the merger (the "Merger") of DeBartolo Realty Corporation ("DRC") with a subsidiary of the Company. The Merger was consummated on August 9, 1996 (the "Merger Date"), at which time DRC became an approximately 99.99% owned subsidiary of the Company and was renamed SD Property Group, Inc. (the "Managing General Partner"). The Managing General Partner and the Company are both general partners of the Operating Partnership, but the Managing General Partner is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. As part of the Merger, the Company, as general partner of Simon Property Group, L.P. ("SPG, LP" and, together with the Operating Partnership, the "Partnerships"), and the limited partners of SPG, LP acquired a majority of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, and in exchange the Operating Partnership acquired a 49.5% limited partnership interest in, and an additional 49.5% interest in the profits of, SPG, LP.
The Company is the parent of the Managing General Partner and owned effectively as of the Merger Date a controlling 61.5% equity interest in, the Operating Partnership. As of the Merger Date, Melvin Simon, Herbert Simon, David Simon and certain of their affiliates, including certain other Simon family members and estates, trusts and other entities established for their benefit (collectively, the "Simons"), effectively owned a 21.7% equity interest in the Operating Partnership, and the estate of Edward J. DeBartolo, Edward J. DeBartolo, Jr., M. Denise DeBartolo York, The Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation, an Ohio corporation ("EJDC"), and certain of their affiliates, including certain other DeBartolo family members and estates and trusts established for their benefit (collectively, the "DeBartolos"), effectively owned a 14.2% equity interest in the Operating Partnership.
As of June 30, 1996, on a combined basis, adjusted to give effect to the Merger and related transactions thereto as though they had occurred prior to such date: the Operating Partnership owns or holds interests in a diversified portfolio of 183 income producing properties (the "Portfolio Properties"), including 111 super-regional and regional malls, 66 community shopping centers, two specialty retail centers and four mixed-use properties located in 32 states; the Portfolio Properties contain an aggregate of approximately 110 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"), of which approximately 65 million square feet is GLA owned by the Partnerships ("Owned GLA"); more than 3,600 different retailers occupy approximately 12,000 stores in the Portfolio Properties; total estimated retail sales at the Portfolio Properties approached $16 billion in fiscal 1995 aggregating an additional seven million square feet of GLA; the Operating Partnership has interests in eight properties under construction in the United States, and owns land held for future development; the Operating Partnership, together with its affiliated management companies (collectively, the "Management Companies"), manage over 127 million square feet of GLA of retail and mixed-use properties.
As of the Merger Date, the Operating Partnership and the Management
Companies had approximately 8,000 employees. The Operating Partnership's
executive offices are located at National City Center, 115 West Washington
Street, Suite 15 East, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204, and its telephone number is
(317) 636-1600.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, proceeds to the Operating Partnership from the sale of the Debt Securities offered hereby will be added to the working capital of the Operating Partnership and will be available for general purposes, which may include the repayment of indebtedness, the financing of capital commitments and possible future acquisitions associated with the continued expansion of the Partnerships' business.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
SPG, LP's ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was 1.54x and 1.59x, respectively, and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 was 1.67x and 1.43x, respectively. From the commencement of its operations on December 20, 1993 through December 31, 1993, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for SPG, LP was 3.36x. The pro forma ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 of SDG, LP, assuming the Merger and related transactions had occurred as of January 1, 1995 and carried forward through June 30, 1996, was 1.53x and 1.70x, respectively. SPG, LP is for financial reporting purposes the predecessor to the Operating Partnership.
For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings have been calculated by adding fixed charges, excluding capitalized interest, to income (loss) from continuing operations including income from minority interests which have fixed charges, and including distributed income from unconsolidated joint ventures instead of income from unconsolidated joint ventures. Fixed charges consist of interest costs, whether expensed or capitalized, the interest component of rental expense and amortization of debt issuance costs.
Prior to the commencement of business by SPG, LP in December 1993, the predecessor of SPG, LP maintained a different ownership and equity structure. The predecessor's operating properties have historically generated positive net cash flow. The financial statements of the predecessor show net income for the period January 1, 1993 through December 19, 1993, and net losses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the period January 1, 1993 through December 19, 1993 was 1.11x. As a consequence of the net losses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, the computation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for these fiscal years indicates that earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges by approximately $12.8 million and $18.7 million, respectively.
The new capitalization of the Company effected in December 1993 in connection with its initial public offering permitted the Company to deleverage significantly, resulting in an improved ratio of earnings to fixed charges subsequent to its commencement of operations.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF THE
MERGER AND THE OTHER RELATED TRANSACTIONS
For financial reporting purposes, the completion of the Merger and related transactions resulted in a reverse acquisition, directly or indirectly, of 100% of the net assets of DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P. ("DRP, LP"). Although SPG was the accounting acquirer, DRP, LP (now the Operating Partnership) will be the primary operating partnership through which the future business of the Company will be conducted. However, SPG was the accounting acquirer upon completion of the Merger and related transactions and has majority control of DRP, LP. SPG's initial operating partnership, SPG, LP, is the predecessor to DRP, LP for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, the financial statements and ratios disclosed by the Operating Partnership for the post- merger periods will reflect the reverse acquisition of DRP, LP by SPG using the purchase method of accounting and for all pre-merger comparative periods, the financial statements and ratios disclosed by the Operating Partnership will reflect the financial statements of SPG, LP, as the predecessor to the Operating Partnership for financial statement purposes.
DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
The Debt Securities will be issued under an Indenture (the "Indenture"), between the Operating Partnership and Chemical Bank, as trustee. The Indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part and is available for inspection at the corporate trust office of the trustee at 450 West 33rd Street, New York, New York 10001, or as described above under "Available Information." The Indenture is subject to, and governed by, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"). The statements made hereunder or in any Prospectus Supplement relating to the Indenture and the Debt Securities to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain provisions thereof and do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the Indenture and such Debt Securities. All section references appearing herein are to sections of the Indenture, and capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.
GENERAL
The Debt Securities will be direct, unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. At June 30, 1996, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Merger, the total outstanding debt of the Operating Partnership including its pro rata share of joint venture debt was $3,889 million, 92.0% of which was secured debt. The Indenture does not limit the amount of other indebtedness of the Operating Partnership that may rank equally with the Debt Securities. The Debt Securities may be issued without limit as to aggregate principal amount, in one or more series, in each case as established from time to time in or pursuant to authority granted by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Managing General Partner, as the managing general partner of the Operating Partnership or as established in one or more indentures supplemental to the Indenture. All Debt Securities of one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the holders of the Debt Securities of such series, for issuances of additional Debt Securities of such series (Section 301).
The Indenture provides that there may be more than one trustee (the "Trustee") thereunder, each with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities. Any Trustee under the Indenture may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities, and a successor Trustee may be appointed to act with respect to such series (Section 608). In the event that two or more persons are acting as Trustee with respect to different series of Debt Securities, each such Trustee shall be a trustee of a trust under the Indenture separate and apart from the trust administered by any other Trustee (Section 609), and, except as otherwise indicated herein, any action described herein to be taken by a Trustee may be taken by each such Trustee with respect to, and only with respect to, the one or more series of Debt Securities for which it is Trustee under the Indenture.
Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement relating to the series of Debt Securities being offered for the specific terms thereof, including:
(1) the title of such Debt Securities;
(2) the aggregate principal amount of such Debt Securities and any limit on such aggregate principal amount;
(3) the percentage of the principal amount at which such Debt Securities will be issued and, if other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount thereof payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof;
(4) the date or dates, or the method for determining such date or dates, on which the principal of such Debt Securities will be payable;
(5) the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable), or the method by which such rate or rates shall be determined, at which such Debt Securities will bear interest, if any;
(6) the date or dates, or the method for determining such date or dates, from which any interest will accrue, the dates on which any such interest will be payable, the record dates for such interest payment dates, or the method by which any such record date shall be determined, the person to whom such interest shall be payable, and the basis upon which interest shall be calculated if other than that of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months;
(7) the place or places where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Debt Securities will be payable, such Debt Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and notices or demands to or upon the Operating Partnership in respect of such Debt Securities and the Indenture may be served;
(8) the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which such Debt Securities may be redeemed, as a whole or in part, at the option of the Operating Partnership, if the Operating Partnership is to have such an option;
(9) the obligation, if any, of the Operating Partnership to redeem, repay or purchase such Debt Securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provision or at the option of a holder thereof, and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which such Debt Securities will be redeemed, repaid or purchased, as a whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation;
(10) if other than U.S. dollars, the currency or currencies in which such Debt Securities are denominated and payable, which may be a foreign currency or units of two or more foreign currencies or a composite currency or currencies, and the terms and conditions relating thereto;
(11) whether the amount of payments of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on such Debt Securities may be determined with reference to an index, formula or other method (which index, formula or method may, but need not be, based on a currency, currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies) and the manner in which such amounts shall be determined;
(12) the events of default or covenants of such Debt Securities, to the extent different from or in addition to those described herein;
(13) whether such Debt Securities will be issued in certificated or book- entry form;
(14) whether such Debt Securities will be in registered or bearer form and, if in registered form, the denominations thereof if other than $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and, if in bearer form, the denominations thereof if other than $5,000, and any integral multiple thereof and the terms and conditions relating thereto;
(15) the applicability, if any, of the defeasance and covenant defeasance provisions described herein, or any modification thereof;
(16) if such Debt Securities are to be issued upon the exercise of debt warrants, the time, manner and place of such Debt Securities to be authenticated and delivered;
(17) whether and under what circumstances the Operating Partnership will pay additional amounts on such Debt Securities in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether the Operating Partnership will have the option to redeem such Debt Securities in lieu of making such payment;
(18) with respect to any Debt Securities that provide for optional redemption or prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events (such as a change of control of the Operating Partnership), (i) the possible effects of such provisions on the market price of the Operating Partnership's securities or in deterring certain mergers, tender offers or other takeover attempts, and the intention of the Operating Partnership to comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws in connection with such provisions; (ii) whether the occurrence of the specified events may give rise to cross-defaults on other indebtedness such that payment on such Debt Securities may be effectively subordinated; and (iii) the existence of any limitation on the Operating Partnership's financial or legal ability to repurchase such Debt Securities upon the occurrence of such an event (including, if true, the lack of assurance that such a repurchase can be effected) and the impact, if any, under the Indenture of such a failure, including whether and under what circumstances such a failure may constitute an Event of Default; and
(19) any other terms of such Debt Securities.
The Debt Securities may provide for less than the entire principal amount thereof to be payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof ("Original Issue Discount Securities"). If material or applicable, special U.S. federal income tax, accounting and other considerations applicable to Original Issue Discount Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
Except as described under "-Merger, Consolidation or Sale" below or as may
be set forth in any Prospectus Supplement, the Indenture does not contain any
other provisions that would limit the ability of the Operating Partnership to
incur indebtedness or that would afford holders of the Debt Securities
protection in the event of (i) a highly leveraged or similar transaction
involving the Operating Partnership, the Company or the management of the
Company, or any affiliate of any such party, (ii) a change of control, or
(iii) a reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction involving
the Operating Partnership that may adversely affect the holders of the Debt
Securities. In addition, subject to the limitations set forth under "-Merger,
Consolidation or Sale," the Operating Partnership may, in the future, enter
into certain transactions, such as the sale of all or substantially all of its
assets or the merger or consolidation of the Operating Partnership, that would
increase the amount of the Operating Partnership's indebtedness or
substantially reduce or eliminate the Operating Partnership's assets, which may
have an adverse effect on the Operating Partnership's ability to service its
indebtedness, including the Debt Securities. Reference is made to the
applicable Prospectus Supplement for information with respect to any deletions
from, modifications of or additions to the events of default or covenants that
are described below, including any addition of a covenant or other provision
providing event risk or similar protection.
Reference is made to "-Certain Covenants" below and to the description of any additional covenants with respect to a series of Debt Securities in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Except as otherwise described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, compliance with such covenants generally may not be waived with respect to a series of Debt Securities unless the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities of such series consent to such waiver, except to the extent that the defeasance and covenant defeasance provisions of the Indenture described under "-Discharge" and "-Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" below apply to such series of Debt Securities. See "-Modification of the Indenture."
DENOMINATIONS, INTEREST, REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER
Unless otherwise described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities of any series which are registered securities, other than registered securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and the Debt Securities which are bearer securities, other than bearer securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof (Section 302).
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on any series of Debt Securities in registered form will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, initially located at 450 West 33rd Street, New York, New York 10001, provided that, at the option of the Operating Partnership, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the applicable Security Register or by wire transfer of funds to such Person at an account maintained within the United States (Sections 301, 307 and 1002).
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, any interest not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date with respect to a Debt Security in registered form ("Defaulted Interest") will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the applicable Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name such Debt Security is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of such Debt Security not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more completely described in the Indenture (Section 307).
Subject to certain limitations imposed upon Debt Securities issued in book-entry form, the Debt Securities of any series will be exchangeable for other Debt Securities of the same series and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor of different authorized denominations upon surrender of such Debt Securities at the corporate trust office of the Trustee referred to above. In addition, subject to certain limitations imposed upon Debt Securities issued in book-entry form, the Debt Securities of any series may be surrendered for registration of transfer thereof at the corporate trust office of the Trustee referred to above. Every Debt Security surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of any Debt Securities, but the Trustee or the Operating Partnership may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith (Section 305). If the applicable Prospectus Supplement refers to any transfer agent (in addition to the Trustee) initially designated by the Operating Partnership with respect to any series of Debt Securities, the Operating Partnership may at any time rescind the designation of any such transfer agent or approve a change in the location through which any such transfer agent acts, except that the Operating Partnership will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for such series. The Operating Partnership may at any time designate additional transfer agents with respect to any series of Debt Securities (Section 1002).
Neither the Operating Partnership nor the Trustee shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security if such Debt Security may be among those selected for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before selection of the Debt Securities to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on (A) if such Debt Securities are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption and (B) if such Debt Securities are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if such Debt Securities are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Registered Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to exchange
any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except that, to the extent provided with respect to such Bearer Security, such Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series and of like tenor, PROVIDED that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Debt Security not to be so repaid (Section 305).
MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE
The Operating Partnership may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into, any other entity, provided that (a) the Operating Partnership shall be the continuing entity, or the successor entity (if other than the Operating Partnership) formed by or resulting from any such consolidation or merger or which shall have received the transfer of such assets shall expressly assume payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all the Debt Securities and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions contained in the Indenture; (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary as a result thereof as having been incurred by the Operating Partnership or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, no Event of Default under the Indenture, and no event which, after notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become such an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and (c) an officer's certificate and legal opinion covering such conditions shall be delivered to the Trustee (Sections 801 and 803).
CERTAIN COVENANTS
EXISTENCE. Except as permitted under "-Merger, Consolidation or Sale" above, the Operating Partnership is required to do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (statutory and charter) and franchises; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Operating Partnership shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if it determines that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Debt Securities (Section 1006).
MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES. The Operating Partnership is required to cause all of its material properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and to cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Operating Partnership may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries shall not be prevented from selling or otherwise disposing for value their respective properties in the ordinary course of business (Section 1007).

PROVISION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The Holders of Debt Securities will
be provided with copies of the annual reports and quarterly reports of the
Operating Partnership. Whether or not the Operating Partnership is subject to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and for so long as any Debt Securities
are outstanding, the Operating Partnership will, to the extent permitted under
the Exchange Act, be required to file with the Commission the annual reports,
quarterly reports and other documents which the Operating Partnership would
have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to such Section 13 or
15(d) (the "Financial Statements") if the Operating Partnership were so
subject, such documents to be filed with the Commission on or prior to the
respective dates (the "Required Filing Dates") by which the Operating
Partnership would have been required so to file such documents if the Operating
Partnership were so subject. The Operating Partnership will also in any event
(x) within 15 days of each Required Filing Date (i) transmit by mail to all
Holders of Debt Securities, as their names and addresses appear in the Security
Register, without cost to such Holders, copies of the annual reports and
quarterly reports which the Operating Partnership would have been required to
file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if
the Operating Partnership were subject to such Sections and (ii) file with the
Trustee copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents
which the Operating Partnership would have been required to file with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Operating
Partnership were subject to such Sections and (y) if filing such documents by
the Operating Partnership with the Commission is not permitted under the
Exchange Act, promptly upon written request and payment of the reasonable cost
of duplication and delivery, supply copies of such documents to any prospective
Holder (Section 1010).
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS. Any additional or different covenants of the Operating Partnership with respect to any series of Debt Securities will be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT, NOTICE AND WAIVER
The Indenture provides that the following events are "Events of Default" with respect to any series of Debt Securities issued thereunder: (a) default for 30 days in the payment of any installment of interest on any Debt Security of such series; (b) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Debt Security of such series at its Maturity; (c) default in making any sinking fund payment as required for any Debt Security of such series; (d) default in the performance of any other covenant of the Operating Partnership contained in the Indenture (other than a covenant added to the Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Debt Securities issued thereunder other than such series), such default having continued for 60 days after written notice as provided in the Indenture; (e) default in the payment of an aggregate principal amount exceeding $30,000,000 of any recourse indebtedness of the Operating Partnership, however evidenced, such default having occurred after the expiration of any applicable grace period and having resulted in the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness, but only if such indebtedness is not discharged or such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled within 10 days after written notice as provided in the Indenture; (f) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, or court appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Operating Partnership or any Significant Subsidiary or any of their respective property; and (g) any other Event of Default provided with respect to a particular series of Debt Securities (Section 501).
If an Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the Debt Securities of that series of the Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all of the Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately by written notice thereof to the Operating Partnership (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders); provided, that in the case of an Event of Default described under paragraph (f) of the preceding paragraph, acceleration is automatic. However, at any time after such acceleration with respect to Debt Securities of such series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities of such series may rescind and
annul such
acceleration and its consequences if (a) the Operating Partnership shall have
deposited with the Trustee all amounts due otherwise than on account of such
declaration, plus certain fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee and (b) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of
accelerated principal of the Debt Securities of such series, have been cured or
waived as provided in the Indenture (Section 502). The Indenture also provides
that the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may waive any past default with
respect to such series and its consequences, except a default (x) in the
payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debt
Security of such series or (y) in respect of a covenant or provision contained
in the Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security affected thereby (Section 513).
The Trustee will be prepared to give notice to the Holders of Debt Securities within 90 days of a default under the Indenture unless such default has been cured or waived; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee may withhold notice to the Holders of any series of Debt Securities of any default with respect to such series (except a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment in respect of any Debt Security of such series) if a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee consider such withholding to be in the interest of such Holders (Section 601).
The Indenture provides that no Holders of Debt Securities of any series may institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, except in the case of failure of the Trustee, for 60 days, to act after it has received a written request to institute proceedings in respect of an Event of Default from the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, as well as an offer of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (Section 507). This provision will not prevent, however, any Holder of Debt Securities from instituting suit for the enforcement of payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Debt Securities at the respective due dates thereof (Section 508).
Subject to provisions in the Indenture relating to its duties in case of default, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any Holders of any series of Debt Securities then Outstanding under the Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee thereunder reasonable security or indemnity (Section 602). The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or of exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction which is in conflict with any law or the Indenture, which may involve the Trustee in personal liability or which may be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Debt Securities of such series not joining therein (Section 512).
Within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year, the Operating Partnership must deliver to the Trustee a certificate, signed by one of several specified officers of the Operating Partnership, stating whether or not such officer has knowledge of any default under the Indenture and, if so, specifying each such default and the nature and status thereof (Section 1011).
MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE
Modifications and amendments of the Indenture will be permitted to be made only with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Debt Securities which are affected by such modification or amendment (voting as one class); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the Holder of each such Debt Security affected thereby: (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or premium (if any) or any installment of interest on, any such Debt Security; (b) reduce the principal amount of, or the rate or amount of interest on, or any premium payable on redemption of, any such Debt Security, or reduce the amount of principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon
acceleration of the maturity thereof or that would be provable in bankruptcy, or adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of the holder of any such Debt Security; (c) change the Place of Payment, or the coin or currency, for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any such Debt Security; (d) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any such Debt Security; (e) reduce the above-stated percentage in principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities necessary to modify or amend the Indenture, reduce the percentage of Outstanding Debt Securities of any series necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions thereof or certain defaults and consequences thereunder, or to reduce the quorum or voting requirements set forth in the Indenture; or (f) modify any of the foregoing provisions or any of the provisions relating to the waiver of certain past defaults or certain covenants, except to increase the percentage required to effect such action or to provide that certain other provisions may not be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security affected thereby (Section 902).
The Indenture provides that the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of a series of Outstanding Debt Securities have the right to waive compliance by the Operating Partnership with certain covenants relating to such series of Debt Securities in the Indenture (Section 1013).
Modifications and amendments of the Indenture will be permitted to be made
by the Operating Partnership and the Trustee without the consent of any Holder
of Debt Securities for any of the following purposes: (i) to evidence the
succession of another Person to the Operating Partnership as obligor under the
Indenture; (ii) to add to the covenants of the Operating Partnership for the
benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Debt Securities or to surrender
any right or power conferred upon the Operating Partnership in the Indenture;
(iii) to add Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders of all or any
series of Debt Securities; (iv) to add or change any provisions of the
Indenture to facilitate the issuance of, or to liberalize certain terms of,
Debt Securities in bearer form, to change or eliminate any restrictions on
payment of the principal of or premium or interest on Debt Securities, to
modify the provisions relating to global Debt Securities, or to permit or
facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities in uncertificated form, PROVIDED
that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the
Debt Securities of any series in any material respect; (v) to change or
eliminate any provisions of the Indenture, PROVIDED that any such change or
elimination shall become effective only when there are no Debt Securities
Outstanding of any series created prior thereto which are entitled to the
benefit of such provision or such amendment shall not apply to any then
Outstanding Debt Security; (vi) to secure the Debt Securities; (vii) to
establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series; (viii) to provide
for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or facilitate the
administration of the trusts under the Indenture by more than one Trustee;
(ix) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the Indenture, PROVIDED
that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of Holders of Debt
Securities of any series in any material respect; or (x) to supplement any of
the provisions of the Indenture to the extent necessary to permit or facilitate
defeasance and discharge of any series of such Debt Securities, PROVIDED that
such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Debt
Securities of any series in any material respect (Section 901).
The Indenture provides that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of a series have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver thereunder or whether a quorum is present at a meeting of Holders of Debt Securities, (i) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that shall be deemed to be Outstanding shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the maturity thereof, (ii) the principal amount of a Debt Security denominated in a foreign currency that shall be deemed Outstanding shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent, determined on the issue date for such Debt Security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the U.S. dollar equivalent on the issue date of such Debt Security of the amount determined as provided in (i) above) of such Debt Security, (iii) the principal amount of an Indexed Security that shall be deemed Outstanding shall be the principal face amount of such Indexed Security at original issuance, unless otherwise provided with respect to such Indexed Security pursuant to the Indenture, and (iv) Debt Securities owned by the Operating Partnership or any other obligor upon
the Debt Securities or any
affiliate of the Operating Partnership or of such other obligor shall be
disregarded (Section 101).
The Indenture contains provisions for convening meetings of the Holders of Debt Securities of a series issuable, in whole or in part, as Bearer Securities (Section 1501). A meeting will be permitted to be called at any time by the Trustee, and also, upon request, by the Operating Partnership or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, in any such case upon notice given as provided in the Indenture (Section 1502). Except for any consent that must be given by the Holder of each Debt Security affected by certain modifications and amendments of the Indenture, any resolution presented at a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present will be permitted to be adopted by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except as referred to above, any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of a series may be adopted at a meeting at which a quorum is present by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series. Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Debt Securities of any series duly held in accordance with the Indenture will be binding on all Holders of Debt Securities of that series. The quorum at any meeting called to adopt a resolution, and at any reconvened meeting, will be Persons holding or representing a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of a series; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which may be made, given or taken by the Holders of not less than a specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of a series, then with respect to such action (and only such action) the Persons holding or representing such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series will constitute a quorum (Section 1504).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if any action is to be taken at a meeting of Holders of Debt Securities of any series with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that the Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of all Outstanding Debt Securities affected thereby, or of the Holders of such series and one or more additional series: (i) there shall be no minimum quorum requirement for such meeting and (ii) the principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series that vote in favor of such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be taken into account in determining whether such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action has been made, given or taken under the Indenture (Section 1504).
DISCHARGE
The Operating Partnership may discharge certain obligations to Holders of any series of Debt Securities that have not already been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and that either have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year (or scheduled for redemption within one year) by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee, in trust, funds in an amount sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness on such Debt Securities in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the date of such deposit (if such Debt Securities have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be (Section 401).
DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
The Indenture provides that, if the provisions of Article Fourteen are
made applicable to the Debt Securities of or within any series pursuant to
Section 301 of the Indenture, the Operating Partnership may elect either (a) to
defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to such
Debt Securities (except for the obligation to pay Additional Amounts, if any,
upon the occurrence of certain
events of tax, assessment or governmental charge with respect to payments on such Debt Securities and the obligations to register the transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities, to replace temporary or mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities, to maintain an office or agency in respect of such Debt Securities and to hold moneys for payment in trust) ("defeasance") (Section 1402) or (b) to be released from its obligations with respect to such Debt Securities under Sections 1004 to 1010, inclusive, of the Indenture (including the restrictions described under "-Certain Covenants" above) and its obligations with respect to any other covenant, and any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default with respect to such Debt Securities ("covenant defeasance") (Section 1403), in either case upon the irrevocable deposit by the Operating Partnership with the Trustee, in trust, of an amount, in such currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which such Debt Securities are payable at Stated Maturity, or Government Obligations (as defined below), or both, applicable to such Debt Securities which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Debt Securities, and any mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments thereon, on the scheduled due dates therefor (Section 1404).
Such a trust will only be permitted to be established if, among other things, the Operating Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (as specified in the Indenture) to the effect that the Holders of such Debt Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred, and such Opinion of Counsel, in the case of defeasance, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable United States federal income tax law occurring after the date of the Indenture (Section 1404).
"Government Obligations" means securities which are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America or the government which issued the foreign currency in which the Debt Securities of a particular series are payable, for the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America or such government which issued the foreign currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are payable, the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America or such other government, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such Government Obligations or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any such Government Obligations held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt, PROVIDED that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the Government Obligation or the specific payment of interest on or principal of the Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt (Section 101).
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, if
after the Operating Partnership has deposited funds or Government Obligations
to effect defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to Debt Securities of
any series, (a) the Holder of a Debt Security of such series is entitled to,
and does, elect pursuant to the Indenture or the terms of such Debt Security to
receive payment in a currency, currency unit or composite currency other than
that in which such deposit has been made in respect of such Debt Security, or
(b) a Conversion Event (as defined below) occurs in respect of the currency,
currency unit or composite currency in which such deposit has been made, the
indebtedness represented by such Debt Security shall be deemed to have been,
and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Debt Security as they
become due out of the proceeds yielded by converting the amount so deposited in
respect of such Debt Security into a currency, currency unit or composite
currency in which such Debt Security becomes payable as a result of such
election or such Conversion Event based on the applicable market exchange
rate (Section 1405). "Conversion Event" means the cessation of use of (i) a currency, currency unit or composite currency both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for the settlement of transactions by a central bank or other public institutions of or within the international banking community, (ii) the ECU both within the European Monetary System and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the European Community or (iii) any currency unit (or composite currency) other than the ECU for the purposes for which it was established (Section 101). Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, all payments of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on any Debt Security that is payable in a foreign currency that ceases to be used by its government of issuance shall be made in U.S. dollars.
In the event the Operating Partnership effects covenant defeasance with respect to any Debt Securities and such Debt Securities are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Event of Default described in clause (d) under "-Events of Default, Notice and Waiver" with respect to Sections 1004 to 1010, inclusive, of the Indenture (which sections would no longer be applicable to such Debt Securities) or described in clause (g) under "-Events of Default, Notice and Waiver" with respect to any other covenant as to which there has been covenant defeasance, the amount in such currency, currency unit or composite currency in which such Debt Securities are payable, and Government Obligations on deposit with the Trustee, will be sufficient to pay amounts due on such Debt Securities at the time of their Stated Maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on such Debt Securities at the time of the acceleration resulting from such Event of Default. However, the Operating Partnership would remain liable to make payment of such amounts due at the time of acceleration.
The applicable Prospectus Supplement may further describe the provisions, if any, permitting such defeasance or covenant defeasance, including any modifications to the provisions described above with respect to the Debt Securities of or within a particular series.
MISCELLANEOUS
NO CONVERSION RIGHTS. The Debt Securities will not be convertible into or exchangeable for any capital stock of the Company or equity interest in the Operating Partnership.
LIMITED LIABILITY. The Indenture provides that no holder of any Debt Securities under the Indenture will have any recourse against any partner (whether limited or general, including the Managing General Partner and the Company) of the Operating Partnership, or the assets of such partner, with respect to any sum payable under or with respect to such Debt Securities, or the performance of any obligation under the Indenture, and that the sole remedy of such holder for such sum or obligation will be against the assets of the Operating Partnership.
GLOBAL SECURITIES. The Debt Securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities (the "Global Securities") that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary (the "Depositary") identified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to such series. Global Securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or permanent form. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of Debt Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to such series.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Operating Partnership may sell the Debt Securities to or through underwriters, and also may sell the Debt Securities directly to one or more other purchasers or through agents. The distribution of the Debt Securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
The Prospectus Supplement will set forth terms of the offering of the Debt Securities, including (i) the name of any underwriters or agents with whom the Company has entered into arrangements with respect to the sale or issuance of Debt Securities, (ii) the initial public offering or purchase price of the Debt Securities, (iii) any underwriting discounts, commissions and other items constituting underwriter's compensation from the Operating Partnership and any other discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or reallowed or paid by any underwriters to other dealers, (iv) any commissions paid to any agents and (v) the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership. In connection with the sale of Debt Securities, underwriters may receive compensation from the Operating Partnership or from purchasers of Debt Securities, for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell Debt Securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of Debt Securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts or commissions they receive from the Operating Partnership, and any profit on the resale of Debt Securities they realize, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
Under agreements the Operating Partnership may enter into, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of Debt Securities may be entitled to indemnification by the Operating Partnership against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, or be customers of, the Operating Partnership in the ordinary course of business.
Unless otherwise set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating to the issuance of Debt Securities, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase such Debt Securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent and each of the underwriters with respect to such Debt Securities will be obligated to purchase all of the Debt Securities allocated to it if any such Debt Securities are purchased. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
If so indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Operating Partnership will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as the Operating Partnership's agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase Debt Securities from the Operating Partnership pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date. Institutions with which such contracts may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pensions funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but in all cases such institutions must be approved by the Operating Partnership. The obligations of any purchaser under any such contract will be subject only to the condition that the purchase of the Debt Securities shall not at any time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which such purchaser is subject. The underwriters and such other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such contracts.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of each issue of the Debt Securities will be passed upon for the Operating Partnership by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, New York, New York. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison will also pass upon certain tax matters. Rogers & Wells, New York, New York, will act as counsel to any underwriters, dealers or agents.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership contains provisions indemnifying the Company's officers and directors against certain liabilities. The Partnership Agreements provide for indemnification of the Company and its officers and directors to the same extent indemnification is provided to officers and directors of the Company in its Charter, and limits the liability of the Company and its officers and directors to the Operating Partnership and its partners to the same extent liability of officers and directors of the Company to the Company and its stockholders is limited under the Company's Charter. In addition, the Company's officers and directors are indemnified under Maryland law and the Company's Charter. The Company's Charter requires the Company to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted from time to time by the laws of Maryland. The Company's By-Laws contain provisions which implement the indemnification provisions of the Company's Charter.
The Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL") permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, or the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. No amendment
II-1
of the Company's Charter shall limit or eliminate the right to indemnification provided with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. Maryland law permits the Company to provide indemnification to an officer to the same extent as a director, although additional indemnification may be provided if such officer is not also a director.
The MGCL permits the charter of a Maryland corporation to include a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages, subject to specified restrictions. The MGCL does not, however, permit the liability of directors and officers to the corporation or its stockholders to be limited to the extent that (1) it is proved that the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services (to the extent such benefit or profit was received) or (2) a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding that the person's action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. The Company's Charter contains a provision consistent with the MGCL. No amendment of the Company's Charter shall limit or eliminate the limitation of liability with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of the Company's directors and officers. The indemnification agreements require, among other things, that the Company indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, and advance to the directors and officers all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted. The Company also must indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by directors and officers seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements, and cover each director and officer if the Company obtains directors' and officers' liability insurance.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
II-3
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the Trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer and any agent of the Trustee or the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1506.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Registered Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.
(d) The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Issuer may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(e) If the Issuer shall solicit from the Holders of Registered
Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, the Issuer may, at its option, in or
pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the
determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Issuer shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA
Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or
pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than
the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in
connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is
completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be
given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at
the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders
for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite
proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding
Securities shall be computed as of such record date; PROVIDED that no
such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record
date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant
to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after
the record date.
(f) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any
Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.
SECTION 105. NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE AND ISSUER. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,
(1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or
(2) the Issuer by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Issuer.
SECTION 106. NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER. Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of Registered Securities by the Issuer or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.
If by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Registered Securities as shall
be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in New York City and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such Securities on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first such publication.
If by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by publication to any particular Holder of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Bearer Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
SECTION 107. EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
SECTION 108. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
SECTION 109. SEPARABILITY CLAUSE. In case any provision in this Indenture or in any Security or coupon shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 110. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities or coupons, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and their successors hereunder and the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
SECTION 111. GOVERNING LAW. This Indenture and the Securities and coupons shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the TIA that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.
SECTION 112. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security or coupon other than a provision in the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof), payment of interest or any Additional Amounts or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity, PROVIDED that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be, to such next succeeding Business Day.
ARTICLE TWO
SECURITIES FORMS
SECTION 201. FORMS OF SECURITIES. The Registered Securities, if any, of each series and the Bearer Securities,
if any, of each series and related coupons shall be in substantially the forms as shall be established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto or approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution in accordance with Section 301, shall have such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the Issuer may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage. Any form of Security approved by or pursuant to a Board Resolution must be acceptable as to form to the Trustee, such acceptance to be evidenced by the Trustee's authentication of Securities in that form or a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and delivered to the Issuer.
Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities shall have interest coupons attached.
The definitive Securities and coupons shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such Securities or coupons, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities or coupons.
SECTION 202. FORM OF TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION. Subject to Section 611, the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

SECTION 203. SECURITIES ISSUABLE IN GLOBAL FORM. If Securities of
or within a series are issuable in global form, as specified as
contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (9) of
Section 301 and the provisions of Section 302, any such Security shall
represent such of the
Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be
specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate
amount of Outstanding Securities of such series from time to time
endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities
of such series represented thereby may from time to time be increased or
decreased to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global
form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee
in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as
shall be specified therein or in the Issuer Order to be delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or 304. Subject to the provisions of
Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver
and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and
upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in
the applicable Issuer Order. If an Issuer Order pursuant to Section 303
or 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the
Issuer with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a
Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with
Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.
The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Issuer and the Issuer delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 303.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, payment of principal of and any premium and interest on any Security in permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 308 and except as provided
in the preceding paragraph, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Issuer and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount
of Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent global Security
(i) in the case of a permanent global Security in registered form, the
Holder of such permanent global Security in registered form, or (ii) in
the case of a permanent global Security in bearer form, Euroclear or
CEDEL.

All Securities of any one series and the coupons appertaining to any Bearer Securities of such series shall be substantially identical except, in the case of Registered Securities, as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution (subject to Section 303) and set forth in such Officers' Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for issuances of additional Securities of such series.
If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, a copy of an appropriate record of such action(s) shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the General Partner and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth the terms of the Securities of such series.
SECTION 302. DENOMINATIONS. The Securities of each series shall be
issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by
Section 301. With respect to Securities of any series denominated in
Dollars, in the absence of any such provisions with respect to the
Securities of any series, the Registered Securities of such series, other
than Registered Securities issued in global form (which may be of any
denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple thereof and the Bearer Securities of such series, other
than Bearer Securities issued in global form (which may be of any
denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of $5,000 and any
integral multiple thereof.
SECTION 303. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING. The Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the General Partner by its Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, and attested by the General Partner's Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities and coupons may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities.
Securities or coupons bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the General Partner shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities or coupons.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery
of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver to the Trustee for
authentication Securities of any series, together with any coupon
appertaining thereto, executed on behalf of the Issuer as set forth
above, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery
of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Issuer Order
shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that,
in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be
mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and
PROVIDED FURTHER that, unless otherwise specified with respect to any
series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, a Bearer Security may be
delivered in connection with its original issuance only if the Person
entitled to receive such Bearer Security shall have furnished a
certificate to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, in the form set
forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture or such other certificate as may
be specified with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to
Section 301, dated no earlier than
15 days prior to the earlier of the
date on which such Bearer Security is delivered and the date on which any
temporary Security first becomes exchangeable for such Bearer Security in
accordance with the terms of such temporary Security and this Indenture.
If any Security shall be represented by a permanent global Bearer
Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 304, the
notation of a beneficial owner's interest therein upon original issuance
of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary global
Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with its original
issuance of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent global
Security. Except as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not
authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant
coupons for interest then matured have been detached and cancelled.
If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time
and if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such
series shall so permit, such Issuer Order may set forth procedures
acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and
determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, such as
interest rate or formula, maturity date, date of issuance and date from
which interest shall accrue. In authenticating such Securities, and
accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in
relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and (subject to TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be fully
protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by
Section 102,
(a) an Opinion of Counsel stating substantially to the effect that
(i) the form or forms of such Securities and any coupons have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
(ii) the terms of such Securities and any coupons, or the manner of determining such terms, have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and
(iii)such Securities, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance
with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to general equitable principles, and except further as enforcement thereof may be limited by (1) requirements that a claim (or a Foreign Currency judgment in respect of such claim) be converted into Dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined pursuant to applicable law or (2) governmental authority to limit, delay or prohibit the making of payments in a Foreign Currency or payments outside the United States (and with such other exceptions as to enforceability as such counsel shall state are not materially adverse to the Holders); and
(iv) if the authentication and delivery relates to a new series of Securities created by an indenture supplemental hereto, all laws and requirements with respect to the form and execution by the Issuer of the supplemental indenture with respect to that series of Securities have been complied with, the Issuer has power to execute and deliver any such supplemental indenture and has taken all necessary action for those purposes and any such supplemental indenture has been executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws and legal principles affecting creditors' rights generally from time to time in effect and to general equitable principles, whether applied in an action at law or in equity); and
(b) an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of the Securities have been complied with and that, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such certificate, no Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing.
If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties, obligations or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or an Issuer Order, or an Opinion of Counsel or an Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the preceding paragraph or Section 102 at the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates, with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.
Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by Section 301.
No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security or Security to which such coupon appertains a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Issuer, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
SECTION 304. TEMPORARY SECURITIES. (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Issuer may execute, and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form.
Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged in accordance with Section 304(b) or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution), if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series (accompanied by any unmatured coupons appertaining thereto), the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and PROVIDED FURTHER that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 303. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.
(b) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, this Section 304(b) shall govern the exchange of temporary Securities issued in global form other than through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). If any such temporary Security is issued in global form, then such temporary global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to the London office of a depositary or common depositary (the "Common Depositary"), for the benefit of Euroclear and CEDEL, for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct).
Without unnecessary delay, but in any event not later than the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global Security (the "Exchange Date"), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary global Security, executed by the Issuer. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Issuer's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor
as the portion of such temporary global Security to be exchanged. The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such temporary global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, permanent global bearer form or permanent global registered form, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, upon such presentation by the Common Depositary, such temporary global Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by CEDEL as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301; and PROVIDED FURTHER that definitive Bearer Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary global Security only in compliance with the requirements of Section 303.
Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the
interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary
global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same
series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account
holder instructs Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, to request such
exchange on his behalf and delivers to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case
may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this
Indenture (or in such other form as may be established pursuant to
Section 301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date,
copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of
Euroclear and CEDEL, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for
such series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise
specified in such temporary global Security, any such exchange shall be
made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary global
Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear
the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless such
Person takes delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the
offices of Euroclear or CEDEL. Definitive Securities in bearer form to
be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary global Security
shall be delivered only outside the United States.
Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest
payable on a temporary global Security on an Interest Payment Date for
Securities of such series occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date
shall be payable to Euroclear and CEDEL on such Interest Payment Date
upon delivery by Euroclear and CEDEL to the Trustee of a certificate or
certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture (or
in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301), for
credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date to
the respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such
temporary global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each
delivered to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a certificate dated
no earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring
prior to such Exchange Date in the form set forth as Exhibit A-1 to this
Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to
Section 301). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained,
the certifications made pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the
certification requirements of the preceding two paragraphs of this
Section 304(b) and of the third paragraph of Section 303 of this
Indenture and the interests of the Persons who are the beneficial owners
of the temporary global Security with respect to which such certification
was made will be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series
and of like tenor on the Exchange Date or the date of certification if
such date occurs after the Exchange Date, without further act or deed by
such beneficial owners. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph,
no payments of principal or interest owing with respect to a beneficial
interest in a temporary global Security will be made unless and until
such interest in such temporary global Security shall have been exchanged
for an interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so received by
Euroclear and CEDEL and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to
the Trustee prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest
Payment Date in order to be repaid to the Issuer.
SECTION 305. REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.
The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee or in any office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment a
register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such
office or in any such office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of
Payment being herein sometimes referred to collectively as the "Security
Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Registered
Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities. The Security
Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being
converted into written form within a reasonable time. Unless otherwise
provided with respect to a series of Registered Securities as
contemplated by Section 301, the Trustee is hereby appointed "Security
Registrar" for each series of Registered Securities until a successor has been appointed by a Board Resolution or an instrument executed on behalf of the General Partner by its Chairman of the Board, President or one of its Vice Presidents and delivered to the Trustee. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment for that series, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and containing identical terms and provisions.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any such Registered Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.
If (but only if) permitted by the applicable Board Resolution and (subject to Section 303) set forth in the applicable Officers' Certificate, or in any indenture supplemental hereto, delivered as contemplated by Section 301, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Issuer in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Issuer and the Trustee if there is furnished
to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in a permitted exchange for a Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If the depositary for any permanent global Security is DTC, then, unless the terms of such global Security expressly permit such global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Securities, a global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to a nominee of DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to DTC for such global Security selected or approved by the Issuer or to a nominee of such successor to DTC. If at any time DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the applicable global Security or Securities or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, if so required by applicable law or regulation, the Issuer shall appoint a successor depositary with respect to such global Security or Securities. If (x) a successor depositary for such global Security or Securities is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such unwillingness, inability or ineligibility, (y) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the beneficial owners representing a
majority in principal amount of the applicable series of Securities
represented by such global Security or Securities advise DTC to cease
acting as depositary for such global Security or Securities or (z) the
Issuer, in its sole discretion, determines at any time that all
Outstanding Securities (but not less than all) of any series issued or
issuable in the form of one or more global Securities shall no longer be
represented by such global Security or Securities, then the Issuer shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive
Securities of like series, rank, tenor and terms in definitive form in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global
Security or Securities. If any beneficial owner of an interest in a
permanent global Security is otherwise entitled to exchange such interest
for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of
another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by
Section 301 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the
permanent global Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary
delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such
interest may be so exchanged, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities in aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner's
interest in such permanent global Security. On or after the earliest
date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global
Security shall be surrendered for exchange by DTC or such other
depositary as shall be specified in the Issuer Order with respect thereto
to the Trustee, as the Issuer's agent for such purpose; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities to be
redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Security for
which exchange is requested may be among those selected for redemption;
and PROVIDED FURTHER that no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a
portion of a permanent global Security shall be mailed or otherwise
delivered to any location in the United States. If a Registered Security
is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global Security
after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange
occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business
at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or
(ii) any Special Record Date and the opening of business at such office
or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable
on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case
may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on
such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may
be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of
such permanent global
Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107 or 1305 not involving any transfer.
The Issuer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be required
(i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security if such
Security may be among those selected for redemption during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before selection of the
Securities to be redeemed under Section 1103 and ending at the close of
business on (A) if such Securities are issuable only as Registered
Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption
and (B) if such Securities are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of
the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if such
Securities are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no
publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected
for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Registered
Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed,
or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption
except that, to the extent provided with respect to such Bearer Security,
such Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that
series and of like tenor, PROVIDED that such Registered Security shall be
simultaneously surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Security which has been surrendered for
repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of
such Security not to be so repaid.
SECTION 306. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES. If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Issuer or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security.
If there shall be delivered to the Issuer and to the Trustee
(i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security or coupon, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee
that such Security or coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or
stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not destroyed,
lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and principal amount,
containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons,
if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the
Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, pay such Security or coupon; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that payment of principal of (and premium, if any), any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to, Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Security of any series with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons.
SECTION 307. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED. Except
as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in
accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest on any Registered
Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the
office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 1002; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each installment of interest on any
Registered Security may at the Issuer's option be paid by (i) mailing a
check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the
Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 308, to the address of such
Person as it appears on the Security Register or (ii) wire transfer to an
account maintained by the payee located inside the United States.
Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made, in the case of a Bearer Security, by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United States.
Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, every permanent global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to DTC, Euroclear and/or CEDEL, as the case may be, with respect to that portion of such permanent global Security held for its account by Cede & Co. or the Common Depositary, as the case may be, for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the
interest received by it in respect of such permanent global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.
In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:
(1) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a record date (a "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be
not more than
15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee
of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Issuer of such Special Record Date and, in the name and
at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder
of Registered Securities of such series at his address as it appears
in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special
Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at
the expense of the Issuer, cause a similar notice to be published at
least once in an Authorized Newspaper in each place of payment, but
such publications shall not be a condition precedent to the
establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered
Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special
Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following
clause (2). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered
at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in
exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of
business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and
before the opening of business at such office or agency on the
related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer
Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such
proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable
on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered
Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be
payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture.
(2) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of
any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.
SECTION 308. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall pass by delivery. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Bearer Security and the Holder of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
No owner of any beneficial interest in any global Security held on its behalf by a depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such global Security, and such depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the owner and Holder of such global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee, or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such global Security or impair, as between such depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such global Security.
SECTION 309. CANCELLATION. All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and coupons and Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it; provided, however, where the Place of Payment is located outside of the United States, the Paying Agent at such Place of Payment may cancel the Securities surrendered to it for such purposes prior to delivering the Securities to the Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Issuer shall so acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Issuer, unless by an Issuer Order the Issuer directs their return to it.
SECTION 310. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
ARTICLE FOUR
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
SECTION 401. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE. This Indenture shall upon Issuer Request cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified in such Issuer Request (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of such series herein expressly provided for and any right to receive Additional Amounts, as provided in Section 1012), and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series when
2. either
(1) all Securities of such series theretofore
authenticated and delivered and all coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto (other than (i) coupons appertaining to
Bearer Securities surrendered for exchange for Registered
Securities and maturing after such exchange, whose surrender is
not required or has been waived as provided in Section 305,
(ii) Securities and coupons of such series which have been
destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid

the Trustee for cancellation; or
(2) all Securities of such series and, in the case of (i) or (ii) below, any coupons appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
(i) have become due and payable, or
(ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

and the Issuer, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably (except as provided in the second proviso to Section 403) deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable, sufficient to pay and
discharge the entire
indebtedness on such Securities and such coupons not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if
any) and interest, and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, to
the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due
and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case
may be;
3. the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer; and
4. the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606, the obligations of the Issuer to any Authenticating Agent under Section 611 and, if money shall have been deposited with and held by the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive.
Notwithstanding the reference to premium under subclause (B) of
clause (1) of this Section, the Issuer shall not be required to deposit
pursuant thereto any premium that would be payable on the Securities of
such series only upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to
Section 502.
SECTION 402. APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities, the coupons and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any), and any interest and Additional Amounts for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
SECTION 403. REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 402 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, the Issuer's obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 401 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 402; PROVIDED that, if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent; provided further that, if the Issuer's obligations are revived and reinstated as herein provided, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall, upon Issuer Request, discharge from trust and pay to the Issuer all funds (together with the earnings thereon, if any) previously deposited therewith pursuant to Section 402 and thereupon the Issuer, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder as if no satisfaction and discharge had been effected.

covenant or warranty a default
in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this
Section specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or
breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by

SECTION 502. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or (7)), then, and in every such case, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof) of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or specified portion thereof and Make-Whole Amount, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or (7) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then, and in every such case, the principal amount (or, if any
Securities of that series are Original Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof) of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, all of the Securities of that series shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
At any time after such acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has occurred and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if:
(1) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the currency or currency unit or composite currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series):
(A) all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of all Outstanding Securities of that series and any related coupons,
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Outstanding Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such acceleration, together with interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities,
(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest and any Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and
(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder
and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under
Section 606; and
(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, and the Make- Whole Amount, if any, on, Securities of that series which have become due solely by reason of such
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 503. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE. The Issuer covenants that if:
(1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security of any series and any related coupon when such interest or Additional Amount becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or
(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity,
then the Issuer will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities of such series and coupons, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, with interest upon any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest or Additional Amounts, if any, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606.
If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon such Securities of such series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor upon such Securities of such series, wherever situated.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series and any related coupons by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any
such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
SECTION 504. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Issuer or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by acceleration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and
(ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities of such series and coupons to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 606.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security or coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Securities or coupons or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security or coupon in any such proceeding.
SECTION 505. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES OR COUPONS. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities or coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or coupons or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities and coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
SECTION 506. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest and any Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the Securities or coupons, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606;
SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and any Additional Amounts payable, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any), interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; and
THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer.
SECTION 507. LIMITATION ON SUITS. Subject to Section 508, no Holder of any Security of any series or any related coupon shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series;
(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;
(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;
it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities of such series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.
SECTION 508. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, IF ANY, INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security or coupon shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, such Security or payment of such coupon on the respective due dates expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
SECTION 509. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or coupon has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to
the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and coupons shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 510. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as otherwise
provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons in the last paragraph of
Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or coupons is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall,
to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every
other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right
or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 511. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or coupons, as the case may be.
SECTION 512. CONTROL BY HOLDERS OF SECURITIES. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, PROVIDED that
(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,
(2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and
(3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities not joining therein.
SECTION 513. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series and any related coupons waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default
(1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security of such series or any related coupons, or
(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 514. WAIVER OF USURY, STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
SECTION 515. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of any undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Issuer or the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders holding in the aggregate more
than 10% in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by
any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the respective
Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

Section 303 which shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;
(3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.
SECTION 603. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificate of authentication, and in any coupons shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities or coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in the Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Issuer are true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 606. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT. The Issuer agrees:
(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and
(3) to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its own part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.
As security for the performance of the obligations of the Issuer under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on particular Securities or any coupons.
The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee, the discharge of the Issuer's obligations pursuant to Article Four hereof, and the termination of this Indenture.

If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.
SECTION 608. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer.
(d) If at any time:
(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or
(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and shall fail to resign after written request

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,
then, in any such case, (i) the Issuer by or pursuant to a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.
(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Issuer, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series). If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to Securities of such series.
(f) The Issuer shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of

Securities in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the
address of its Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 609. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 606.
(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto, pursuant to Article Nine hereof, wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustee's co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution
and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Issuer or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.
(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.
(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.
SECTION 610. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, PROVIDED such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities or coupons shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities or coupons so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities or coupons. In case any Securities or coupons shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities or coupons, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee.
SECTION 611. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT. At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to
one or more series of
Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration
of transfer or partial redemption or repayment thereof, and Securities so
authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and
shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an
instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a
copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Issuer.
Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and
delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication
and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a
certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to
the Issuer and shall at all times be a bank or trust company or
corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the
laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of
Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent,
having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities.
If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in
its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.
Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, PROVIDED such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series and to the Issuer. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the
Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a
termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee for such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent
which shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall give notice of such
appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to
which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in
Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating
Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this
Section.
The Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this Section.
If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form:
This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

If the Issuer shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of, any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
Whenever the Issuer shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities and any related coupons, it will, before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of, any
Securities of that series, deposit
with a Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit
or units or composite currency or currencies described in the preceding
paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or
interest or Additional Amounts, so becoming due, such sum to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium
or interest or Additional Amounts and (unless such Paying Agent is the
Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
failure so to act.
The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will
(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities or Additional Amounts in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;
(2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any such payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts; and
(3) at any time during the continuance of any such default upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.
The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction, discharge or defeasance of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.
Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any), interest or Additional Amounts has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer upon Issuer Request along with the interest, if any, that has been accumulated thereon or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged
from such trust; and the
Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of such principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of,
any Security, without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee
or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability
of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to
make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be
published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall
not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.
SECTION 1004. MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT. If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of a Make-Whole Amount, the Issuer will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series the Make- Whole Amount specified with respect thereto under the terms, conditions and circumstances as contemplated by or pursuant to Section 301. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of premium on or in respect of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of the Make-Whole Amount provided by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301 to the extent that, in such context, the Make-Whole Amount is or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms; and express mention of the payment of the Make-Whole Amount (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding the Make-Whole Amount in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.
SECTION 1005. [This Section Intentionally Omitted].
SECTION 1006. EXISTENCE. Subject to Article Eight, the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.
SECTION 1007. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES. The Issuer will cause all of its material properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Issuer may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Issuer or any Subsidiary from selling or otherwise disposing for value its properties in the ordinary course of its business.
SECTION 1008. INSURANCE. The Issuer will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep all of its insurable properties insured against loss or damage at least equal to their then full insurable value (subject to reasonable deductibles determined from time to time by the Issuer) with insurers of recognized responsibility and having a rating of at least A:VIII in Best's Key Rating Guide.
SECTION 1009. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS. The Issuer will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 1010. PROVISION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION. Whether or not
the Issuer is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and for
so long as any Securities are Outstanding, the Issuer will, to the extent
permitted under the Exchange Act, file with the Commission the annual
reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Issuer would
have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to such
Section 13 or 15(d) (the "Financial Statements") if the Issuer were so
subject, such documents to be filed with the Commission on or prior to
the respective dates (the "Required Filing Dates") by which the Issuer
would have been required so to file such documents if the Issuer were so
subject.
The Issuer will also in any event (x) within 15 days of each
Required Filing Date (i) transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names
and addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to such
Holders, copies of the annual reports and quarterly reports which the
Issuer would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Issuer were subject to
such Sections, and (ii) file with the Trustee copies of the annual
reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Issuer would
have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Issuer were
subject to such Sections
and (y) if filing such documents by the Issuer with the Commission is not
permitted under the Exchange Act, promptly upon written request and
payment of the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply copies
of such documents to any prospective Holder.
SECTION 1011. STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a brief certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the General Partner as to his or her knowledge of the Issuer's compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture and, in the event of any noncompliance, specifying such noncompliance and the nature and status thereof. For purposes of this Section 1011, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.
SECTION 1012. ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Issuer will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series or any coupon appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms; and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.
Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below- mentioned Officers' Certificate, the Issuer will furnish the Trustee and the Issuer's principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of that series
shall be made to
Holders of Securities of that series or any related coupons who are not
United States Persons without withholding for or on account of any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of
the series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such
Officers' Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any,
required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities of
that series or related coupons and the Issuer will pay to the Trustee or
such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such
Securities. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be,
shall not so receive the above-mentioned certificate, then the Trustee or
such Paying Agent shall be entitled (i) to assume that no such
withholding or deduction is required with respect to any payment of
principal or interest with respect to any Securities of a series or
related coupons until it shall have received a certificate advising
otherwise and (ii) to make all payments of principal and interest with
respect to the Securities of a series or related coupons without
withholding or deductions until otherwise advised. The Issuer covenants
to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred
without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in
connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them or in reliance on
any Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section or in
reliance on the Issuer's not furnishing such an Officers' Certificate.
SECTION 1013. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS. The Issuer may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1006 to 1010, inclusive, and any covenant not currently included in this Indenture but specified as applicable to a series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, with respect to the Securities of any series if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities of such series, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Issuer and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.
ARTICLE ELEVEN
REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES
SECTION 1101. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity
shall be redeemable in
accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance
with this Article.
SECTION 1102. ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE. The election of the Issuer to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Issuer of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Issuer shall, at least 45 days prior to the giving of the notice of redemption in Section 1104 (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.
SECTION 1103. SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED. If less than all the Securities of any series issued on the same day with the same terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series issued on such date with the same terms not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed.
SECTION 1104. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified by the terms of such
series established pursuant to
Section 301, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but failure to
give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any
Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect
in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any other such Security or portion
thereof.
Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice.
All notices of redemption shall state:
(1) the Redemption Date,
(2) the Redemption Price, accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any,
(3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the particular Security or Securities to be redeemed,
(4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the holder will receive, without a charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,
(5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and
accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in
Section 1106, if any, will become due and payable upon each such
Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable,
that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,
(6) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities, together in the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, or for conversion,
(7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case,
(8) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by all coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption or the amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee for such series and any Paying Agent is furnished,
(9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and
any Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and
if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities
not subject to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to
Section 305 or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the
Issuer, on which such exchanges may be made,
(10) the CUSIP number or the Euroclear or the CEDEL reference numbers (or any other numbers used by a depositary to identify such Securities), if any, of the Securities to be redeemed, and
(11) if applicable, that a Holder of Securities who desires to convert Securities for redemption must satisfy the requirements for conversion contained in such Securities, the then existing conversion price or rate, and the date and time when the option to convert shall expire.
Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.
SECTION 1105. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. At least one Business
Day prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own
Paying Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment
under Article Twelve, segregate and hold in trust as provided in
Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency
unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities
of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay on the
Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption
Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the
Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.
SECTION 1106. SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein
specified in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall, if the same were interest- bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest; and PROVIDED FURTHER that installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.
If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption
Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price
an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the
surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Issuer
and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity
as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless.
If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee
or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a
deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder
shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office
or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided
in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.
If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security.
SECTION 1107. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART. Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Article Twelve) shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.
ARTICLE TWELVE
SINKING FUNDS
SECTION 1201. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. The provisions of this
Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of
Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 for Securities of such series.
The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory
sinking fund payment," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount
provided for by the terms of such Securities of any series is herein
referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment." If provided for by the
terms of any Securities of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory
sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in
Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of
Securities of such series.
SECTION 1202. SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES. The Issuer may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of a series, (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any previously called for redemption) together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, as provided for by the terms of such Securities, or which have otherwise been acquired by the Issuer; PROVIDED that
such Securities so delivered or applied as a credit have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.
SECTION 1203. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND. Not less
than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for Securities of
any series, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking
fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the
portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in
the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency
or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except
as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such
series) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by
delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the
next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the
Trustee any Securities to be so delivered and credited. If such
Officers' Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in
cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Issuer shall
thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less
than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall
select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date
in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the
Issuer in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been
duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the
terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.
ARTICLE THIRTEEN
REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS
SECTION 1301. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Repayment of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities, if any, and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301) in accordance with this Article.
SECTION 1302. REPAYMENT OF SECURITIES. Securities of any series
subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders
thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities,
be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with
interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or
pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Issuer covenants that at
least one Business Day prior to the Repayment Date it will deposit with
the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its
own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in
Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency
unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities
of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the
principal (or, if so provided by the terms of the Securities of any
series, a percentage of the principal) of, and (except if the Repayment
Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the
Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such
date.
SECTION 1303. EXERCISE OF OPTION. Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse of such Securities. In order for any Security to be repaid at the option of the Holder, the Trustee must receive at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the Issuer shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 60 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date (1) the Security so providing for such repayment together with the "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse thereof duly completed by the Holder (or by the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing) or (2) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the Holder of the Security, the principal amount of the Security, the principal amount of the Security to be repaid, the CUSIP number or the Euroclear or the CEDEL reference number
(or any other number used by a depositary to identify the Security) of the Security, if any, or a description of the tenor and terms of the Security, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that the Security to be repaid, together with the duly completed form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" on the reverse of the Security, will be received by the Trustee not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if such Security and form duly completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. If less than the entire principal amount of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Security, the principal amount of such Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, and the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal amount of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be specified. The principal amount of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Issuer and all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Security for repayment will be determined by the Issuer, whose determination will be final and binding.
SECTION 1304. WHEN SECURITIES PRESENTED FOR REPAYMENT BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE. If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Issuer on the Repayment Date therein specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if the same were interest- bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be repaid, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment Date, the principal amount of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid by the Issuer, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that coupons whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable only at an office or agency
located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in
Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301,
only upon presentation and surrender of such coupons; and PROVIDED
FURTHER that, in the case of Registered Securities, installments of
interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment
Date shall be payable (but without interest thereon, unless the Issuer
shall default in the payment thereof) to the Holders of such Securities,
or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of
business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 307.
If any Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Repayment Date,
such Security may be paid after deducting from the amount payable
therefor as provided in Section 1302 an amount equal to the face amount
of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or
coupons may be waived by the Issuer and the Trustee if there be furnished
to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of
them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such
Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such
missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made as
provided in the preceding sentence, such Holder shall be entitled to
receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that interest
represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency
located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in
Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN
DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
SECTION 1401. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE; ISSUER'S OPTION TO EFFECT DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. If, pursuant to Section 301, provision is made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 1402 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 1403, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, and the Issuer may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, elect to have Section 1402 (if applicable) or Section 1403 (if applicable) be applied to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article.
SECTION 1402. DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. Upon the Issuer's exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Issuer shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, "defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 1405 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1404 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (B) the Issuer's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 1012,
(C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article Fourteen, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1403 with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.
SECTION 1403. COVENANT DEFEASANCE. Upon the Issuer's exercise of
the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any
Securities of or within a series, the Issuer shall be released from its
obligations under Sections 1006 to 1010, inclusive, and, if specified
pursuant to Section 301, its obligations under any other covenant, with
respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404
are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be not
"Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with Sections 1006 to 1010, inclusive, or such other covenant,
but shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding" for all other purposes
hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with
respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability
in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason
of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other
covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default
under Section 501(4) or 501(8) or otherwise, as the case may be, but,
except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected
thereby.
SECTION 1404. CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The
following shall be the conditions to application of Section 1402 or
Section 1403 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any
coupons appertaining thereto:
(a) The Issuer shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 607 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article Fourteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, (1) an amount in such currency, currencies or currency unit in which such Securities
and any
coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated
Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities and
coupons appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the currency,
currencies or currency unit in which such Securities and coupons
appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity)
which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one
day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof,
in any case, in an amount, sufficient, without consideration of any
reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in
a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and
discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto on the Stated Maturity of such principal or
installment of principal or interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund
payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto on the day on which such payments
are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of
such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto. Notwithstanding
the references in this Section 1404(a) to "premium", the Issuer shall not
be required to deposit an amount sufficient to pay any premium that would
be due and payable only upon acceleration of the Maturity of such
Securities pursuant to Section 502.
(b) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound.
(c) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 501(6) and 501(7) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).
(d) In the case of an election under Section 1402, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling,
or (ii) since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.
(e) In the case of an election under Section 1403, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.
(f) The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance under Section 1402 or the covenant defeasance under Section 1403 (as the case may be) have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that either (i) as a result of a deposit pursuant to subsection (a) above and the related exercise of the Issuer's option under Section 1402 or Section 1403 (as the case may be), registration is not required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, by the Issuer, with respect to the trust funds representing such deposit or by the Trustee for such trust funds or (ii) all necessary registrations under said Act have been effected.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Issuer in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.
SECTION 1405. DEPOSITED MONEY AND GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 1405, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1404 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to
Section 301, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 1404(a) has been
made, (a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was
made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 301 or the terms
of such Security to receive payment in a currency or currency unit other
than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 1404(a) has been made
in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in respect
of the currency or currency unit in which the deposit pursuant to
Section 1404(a) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such
Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be deemed to have
been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of
the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest, if any, on such
Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by
converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such
election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such
Security into the currency or currency unit in which such Security
becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on
the applicable market exchange rate for such currency or currency unit in
effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, except,
with respect to a Conversion Event, for such currency or currency unit in
effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event.
The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1404 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.
Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to
Section 606, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to
time upon Issuer Request any money or Government Obligations (or other
property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in
Section 1404 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof
which would then be required to be deposited to effect a
defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article.
ARTICLE FIFTEEN

notice, consent, waiver or other action which this Indenture expressly
provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of not less than a

(b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing appoint a
temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been
called by the Issuer or by Holders of Securities as provided in

the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner
appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent
secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled
to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
such series represented at the meeting.

The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy.

a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1502 and, if applicable, Section 1504. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Issuer and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 1601. SECURITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of "Outstanding" in Section 101, whenever this Indenture provides for any distribution to Holders of Securities, in the absence of any provision to the contrary in the form of Security of any particular series, any amount in respect of any Security denominated in a currency or currencies other than Dollars shall be treated for any such distribution as that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount on such reasonable basis of exchange and as of the record date with respect to Registered Securities of such series (if any) for such distribution (or, if there shall be no applicable record date, such other date reasonably proximate to the date of such distribution) as the Company may specify in a written notice to the Trustee or, in the absence of such written notice, as the Trustee may determine.

National City Center
115 West Washington Street, Suite 15 East
Indianapolis, IN 46204
Registration Statement on Form S-3
REGISTRATION NO. 333-11491
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the above-captioned Registration Statement
on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") filed by Simon-DeBartolo
Group, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, we
have been requested to render our opinion as to the legality of the
securities being registered thereunder. The Registration Statement
relates to the registration under the Act of the Operating Partnership's
non-convertible investment grade debt securities, consisting of notes or
debentures denominated in
United States dollars or any other currency(the "Debt Securities"). The Debt
Securities are being registered for offering and sale from time to time
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act. The aggregate public offering price of the
Debt Securities will not exceed $750,000,000 (or its equivalent (based on the
applicable exchange rate at the time of sale) if the Debt Securities are issued
with principal amounts denominated in one or more foreign currencies or
currency units as shall be designated by the Operating Partnership).
The Debt Securities are to be issued under an Indenture to be
entered into between the Operating Partnership and Chemical Bank, as
trustee (the "Trustee"), as may be supplemented from time to time
(together, the "Indenture").
In connection with this opinion, we have examined (i)
originals, photocopies or conformed copies of the Registration Statement
(including the exhibits and amendments thereto), (ii) the form of the
Indenture filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and (iii)
records of certain of the corporate proceedings of the managing general
partner of the Operating Partnership relating, among other things, to the
proposed issuance and sale of the Debt Securities. In addition, we have
made such other examinations of law and fact as we considered necessary
in order to form a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In
connection with such investigation, we have assumed the genuineness of
all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us
as photocopies or conformed copies and the legal capacity of natural
persons executing such documents, none of which facts we have
independently verified. We
have relied as to matters of fact upon certificates of officers of the managing
general partner of the Operating Partnership.
In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have assumed that
(i) the Operating Partnership has been duly organized and is validly
existing in good standing under the laws of Delaware, (ii) the Operating
Partnership has the legal power and authority to enter into and perform
its obligations under the Indentures and the Debt Securities, (iii) the
execution, delivery and performance by the Operating Partnership of the
Indentures and the Debt Securities will not conflict with or violate the
charter or by-laws of the managing general partner of the Operating
Partnership, the laws of Delaware or the terms of any agreement or
instrument to which the Operating Partnership is subject, (iv) the
Indenture will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
parties thereto, and (v) the Indenture, after it has been executed and
delivered, will represent a valid and binding obligation of the Trustee.
We have also assumed, with respect to the Debt Securities of a particular
series or issuance to be offered (the "Offered Securities"), that (i) the
terms of issue and sale of the Offered Securities shall have been duly
established in accordance with the appropriate Indenture, (ii) the
Offered Securities shall have been duly authorized, issued and delivered
by the Operating Partnership and duly authenticated by the Trustee, all
in accordance with the terms of appropriate Indenture, and against
payment by the purchasers thereof at the agreed consideration therefor
and (iii) the Offered Securities, when so issued, authenticated,
delivered and sold, will represent valid and binding obligations of the
Operating Partnership under the laws of Delaware.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the limitations
hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Indenture, when duly authorized, executed and delivered
by the parties thereto, will represent a valid and binding obligation of
the Operating Partnership under the laws of the State of New York,
enforceable against the Operating Partnership in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to (a) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium
or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, (b) general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (c) requirements that a
claim with respect to any Debt Securities denominated other than in United
States dollars (or a judgment denominated other than in United States
dollars in respect of such claim) be converted into United States dollars
at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined pursuant to
applicable law and (d) the enforceability of forum selection clauses in
the federal courts.
2. When issued, authenticated and delivered, the Offered
Securities will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Operating
Partnership under the laws of the State of New York enforceable against
the Operating Partnership in accordance with their respective terms,
except as such enforceability may be subject to (a) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium
or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, (b) general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (c) requirements that a
claim with respect to any Offered Securities denominated other than in
United States dollars (or a judgment denominated other
than in United States dollars in respect of such claim) be converted into
United States dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined
pursuant to applicable law and (d) the enforceability of forum selection
clauses in the federal courts.
We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any
provisions contained in the Indenture or the Offered Securities that
constitute waivers which are prohibited under the Uniform Commercial Code
of the State of New York prior to default.
Our opinions expressed above are limited to the laws of the
State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America.
Our opinions are rendered only with respect to the laws, and the rules,
regulations and orders thereunder, that are currently in effect.
We hereby consent to the use of our name in the Registration
Statement and in the prospectus therein as the same appears in the
caption "Legal Matters" and to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby
admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is
required by the Act or by the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.
Very truly yours,

(1) DRP's pro rata share of mortgages and notes payable (including nonconsolidated joint ventures) was $1,555,099 as of December 31, 1995.
(2) Industry analysts generally consider cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures (also commonly referred to as funds from operations) to be an appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. Cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property (other than adjacent land located at DRP properties after April 21, 1994), plus depreciation and amortization and other non-cash items. DRP's management believes that cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures is an important and widely used measure of the operating performance of REITs which provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. Cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures is presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of DRP. DRP's method of calculating cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures may be different from the methods used by other REITs to calculate funds from operations. Cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures: (i) does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. In March 1995, NAREIT modified its definition of cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures. The modified definition provides that amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-rental real estate assets are no longer to be added back to net income in arriving at cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures. The modified definition has been adopted for the period ended March 31, 1996 and included the add-back of certain formation costs of $2,400 for such period as an unusual item. The cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures for period ended December 31, 1995 has been restated to $128,200 which includes the add-back of certain formation costs of $12,700 for such period as an unusual item.
(3) Total EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for all properties. EBITDA after minority interest represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for all properties after distribution to the third-party joint venture partners. EBITDA: (i) does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. DRP's management believes that in addition to cash flows and net income, EBITDA is a useful financial performance measurement for assessing the operating performance of an equity REIT because, together with net income and cash flows, EBITDA provides investors with an additional basis to evaluate the ability of a REIT to incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures. To evaluate EBITDA and the trends it depicts, the components of EBITDA, such as revenues and operating expenses, should be considered. DRP's method of calculating EBITDA may be different from the methods used by other REITs. DRC's weighted average share of the operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was 61.9% and 58.8% and was 59.6% in 1995. DRC's share of DRP was 61.9% and 58.8% at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and was 61.8% and 58.8% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the "Selected Financial Information," and all of the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this exhibit.
General Background
The following discussion is based primarily on the Consolidated Financial Statements of DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P. and the Combined Financial Statements of the DeBartolo Retail Group (Predecessor).
The financial statements of DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P. for the 255 days from April 21, 1994 to December 31, 1994, are not indicative of the OP's operating results and cash flows on an annual basis. Similarly, the results presented in the financial statements of DeBartolo Retail Group (Predecessor) include 110 days of 1994. Therefore, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operating Results and Cash Flows for 1994 will be presented on a combined basis.
Comparison of Consolidated Operating Results for the Year ended December 31, 1995 to the Year ended December 31, 1994
Revenues. Total revenues increased $8.5 million, or 2.6%, to $332.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $324.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. The $2.2 million increase in minimum rents to $205.0 million in 1995 from $202.8 million in 1994 reflects continued improvements in rental rates and the leasing of space, some of which space was previously vacant to anchors and specialty anchors at three DeBartolo Properties. This increase is net of a $1.7 million decrease in minimum rents for leases terminated, in part, due to the OP's ongoing strategy to recapture underproductive space.
Tenant recoveries increased $1.0 million, or 1.2%, to $82.1 million in 1995 from $81.1 million in 1994 reflecting the OP's strategy to improve operating expense recovery margins. Other revenues increased $4.9 million, or 17.8%, to $32.5 million in 1995 from $27.6 million in 1994 due to (i) a $1.9 million increase in specialty leasing income, (ii) a $1.7 million increase in interest income, (iii) a $1.0 million increase in promotional revenue which was partially offset by the increase in advertising expenses as set forth in the paragraph below, and (iv) a $0.5 million increase in lease cancellation income. As the OP's leased area percentage increases significant growth in specialty leasing income may be limited. Approximately $5.0 million in 1995 and $4.5 million in 1994 of other revenues is attributable to income received by the OP from lessees' cancellation of leases. Historically lease cancellation income has been lower than it has been in 1994 and 1995.
Shopping Center Expenses. Shopping center expenses increased $2.0 million, or 1.7%, to $118.3 million in 1995 from $116.3 million in 1994. Property operating expenses increased $0.9 million, or 2.5%, primarily due to increased utility and security costs. Repairs and maintenance expense decreased $1.1 million, or 3.8%, predominantly due to a reduction in snow removal costs. Advertising expenses increased $0.6 million due to increased promotional efforts offset by the above-mentioned increase in promotional revenues.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $6.6 million, or 5.0%, to $124.6 million in 1995 from $131.2 million in 1994, primarily resulting from loan paydowns with the proceeds of the Company's two public stock offerings and related transactions. Interest expense in 1995 includes (i) $11.1 million of amortization relating to the refinancing of debt, (ii) $0.5 million of amortization of deferred financing costs, (iii) $4.2 million relating to the write-off of assigned interest rate protection agreements and (iv) $3.1 million of amortization relating to interest rate protection agreements. Interest expense in 1994 included (i) $11.4 million of amortization relating to the refinancing of debt and (ii) $2.6 million of amortization relating to interest rate protection agreements.
Joint Ventures. Net income of the nonconsolidated joint ventures decreased $3.7 million to $13.7 million in 1995 from $17.4 million in 1994. Minimum rents increased $2.6 million, resulting from (i) the opening of a new department store during the fourth quarter of 1994 and (ii) the continued improvement in rental rates for reletting Mall Store space. Percentage rents decreased $0.2 million, from $6.2 million in 1994 to $6.0 million in 1995. The decrease was due to (i) increases in base minimum rents on new leases which affects percentage rents paid by such tenants and (ii) decreased sales of certain tenants. Tenant recoveries increased $0.6 million due to an increase in recoverable expenses. Other revenues increased $1.2 million, primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in specialty leasing revenues and a $1.2 million increase in advertising revenues offset by a $0.6 million decrease in lease cancellation income.
Shopping center expenses increased $1.5 million, primarily resulting from a $0.7 million increase in repairs and maintenance and a $1.0 million increase in advertising expenses. Interest expense increased $4.6 million due to increasing interest rates on variable rate debt and increased principal outstanding relating to the financing of an Anchor addition. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.8 million and gains on sale of assets decreased $1.0 million.
The OP's share of income from nonconsolidated joint ventures increased $0.5 million to $8.9 million in 1995 from $8.4 million in 1994. This increase is greater than the nonconsolidated joint ventures' change in net income because the OP receives substantially all the economic benefit of three joint ventures as a result of advances made to these joint ventures at the REIT Formation.
Net Income. Net income increased by $12.4 million to $35.1 million in 1995 from $22.6 million in 1994 as a result of (I) the above-mentioned fluctuations in revenues, shopping center expenses, interest expense and income from unconsolidated joint ventures, (ii) a $3.8 million decrease in deferred stock expense since deferred stock awards did not vest because the Company did not achieve the targeted levels in 1995 as set forth in the Company's long-term incentive deferred stock plan and (iii) the 1995 extraordinary charge resulting from prepayment penalties of $3.4 million and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $7.9 million relating to early retirement of mortgage notes payable (the $8.9 million extraordinary charge in 1994 resulted from prepayment penalties and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs).
Depreciation and amortization increased $2.4 million, or 4.3%, resulting from depreciation on capital projects completed during 1994 and 1995.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $47.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, principally comprised of additions to investment properties of $51.3 million (see "Capital Expenditures"), purchases of short-term investments of $9.7 million, and advances to and investments in nonconsolidated joint ventures of $8.5 million. These investments are offset by distributions from nonconsolidated joint ventures of $19.4 million and proceeds from the sale of assets of $6.3 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 1994 totaled $90.0 million, principally comprised of (i) $27.1 million of additions to investment properties, (ii) $22.8 million to purchase two development sites and partnership interests, and (iii) $53.8 million advanced to nonconsolidated joint ventures to pay down property mortgage debt, offset by distributions from nonconsolidated joint ventures of $12.9 million.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $74.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, primarily comprised of distributions paid of $106.5 million and payments on mortgage and notes payable of $178.1 million. These uses were funded through cash flow from operations of $108.9 million, proceeds from incurrence of debt of $116.8 million, proceeds from net offerings of common stock of $80.4 million and a decrease in restricted cash of $21.8 million. Net cash provided by financing activities of $29.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 was primarily from the general partner's contribution of proceeds of the REIT Formation less (i) paydowns of property mortgage debt and interest rate buydowns, (ii) distributions to the DeBartolo Group's parent company and (iii) distributions paid.
Comparison of Consolidated Operating Results for the Year ended December 31, 1994 to the Year ended December 31, 1993
Revenues. Total revenues increased $15.2 million, or 4.9%, to $324.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 from $309.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1993. The increase is due primarily to an increase in minimum rentals of $8.2 million, or 4.2%, resulting from continued improvements in rental rates for reletting of Mall Store spaces and the leasing of a major office tenant space which commenced July 1, 1993. Percentage rents decreased $1.3 million, or 9.2%, primarily due to increases in base minimum rents which offsets percentage rents from such tenants and decreased sales for certain tenants.
Other revenues increased $9.3 million, or 50.8 %, to $27.6 million in 1994 from $18.3 million in 1993. This increase is primarily attributable to a $3.3 million increase in lease cancellation payments which totaled $4.5 million received during 1994 from underproductive tenants and an increase of $2.1 million in interest income earned as a result of increased cash resulting from the general partners' contribution of proceeds from the REIT Formation and a $1.7 million increase from specialty and temporary leasing which totaled $10.8 million in 1994.
Shopping Center Expenses. Total shopping center expenses decreased $3.2 million, or 2.7%, to $116.3 million in 1994 from $119.5 million in 1993. This decrease reflects the OP's continued efforts to contain operating expenses at its properties. Management fees paid to the Property Manager decreased $1.6 million and the OP's provision for doubtful accounts decreased $1.3 million as a result of the OP's focus on increasing the collectibility of accounts receivable.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $21.5 million, or 14.1%, to $131.2 million in 1994 from $152.7 million in 1993. The decrease is the result of mortgage loan paydowns and interest rate buydowns in connection with the general partner's contribution of proceeds from the REIT Formation. Interest expense in 1994 includes $11.4 million of amortization and $2.6 million of amortization of interest rate protection agreements while in 1993 interest expense included only $4.4 million of loan cost amortization.
Joint Ventures. Net income of the nonconsolidated joint ventures increased $11.6 million to $17.4 million in 1994 from $5.8 million in 1993. The increase is primarily due to (i) a $6.1 million increase in minimum rentals resulting from continued improvements in rental rates for reletting of Mall Store space, (ii) a $2.0 million increase in lease cancellation income from underproductive tenants and (iii) a decrease in interest expense of $5.6 million resulting from refinancings of permanent mortgages at lower interest rates at two DeBartolo Malls and the result of mortgage loan paydowns in connection with the use of proceeds resulting from the REIT Formation. The OP's share of net income from nonconsolidated joint ventures increased $8.7 million to $8.4 million in 1994 from a $.3 million loss in 1993.
Net Income. Net income increased by $32.4 million to $22.6 million in 1994 from a loss of $9.8 million in 1993 as a result of (i) the above-mentioned fluctuations in revenues, shopping center expenses, interest expense and income from nonconsolidated joint ventures, (ii) a $4.1 million deferred stock compensation expense relating to stock incentive plans, which stock will vest pro rata through 1996 and (iii) extraordinary charges of $8.9 million resulting from prepayment penalties and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the satisfaction of mortgage notes payable.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased $79.5 million to $90.0 million in 1994 from $10.5 million in 1993 primarily resulting from (i) $22.8 million to purchase two developmental land parcels and purchases of partnership interests and (ii) $53.8 million advanced to joint ventures to paydown mortgage debt.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities increased
$54.8 million to $29.5 million in 1994 from funds used by financing activities
of $25.3 million in 1993. This increase reflects $543.9 million proceeds from
the public offering of common stock and $455.0 million of securitized debt
proceeds offset by (i) an increase in debt payments of $676.1 million, (ii)
$130.4 million of distributions to the DeBartolo Group, (iii) an increase of
$67.7 million for loan costs and interest rate buydowns, (iv) $46.4 million of
distributions paid, (v) an increase in restricted cash of $39.0 million and
(vi) $11.0 million from a decrease in payments on net affiliated receivables.
Portfolio Trends
The following sets forth the operating trends which have had a material effect and which the OP believes will have a material effect on revenues in the future.
Rental Rates
The rate of growth in rental rates of DeBartolo Properties exceeds the
rate of growth in Total Mall Store Sales (defined as sales reported by
retailers occupying Mall GLA) because as older leases expire, new leases are
negotiated at current rental rates which are generally higher than average
rates for expiring leases. Average minimum rents per square foot for DeBartolo
Malls increased by 20.6% to $19.78 for the year ended December 31, 1995 from
$16.40 for the year ended December 31, 1991.
The following table contains certain information relating to average minimum
rents at the DeBartolo Malls:

(1) Includes relet space only for leases executed and commenced during the respective years.
(2) Average over the term of the lease, which reflects contractual rent increases over the term of the leases.
(3) Total initial minimum rent per square foot, excluding leases with specialty anchors, was $26.51 for 1995 and $25.01 for 1994. There was no leasing activity with specialty anchors during 1991 through 1993.
Management believes that these positive trends in rental rates should continue in 1996 due to, among other factors, expiring leases being replaced by new leases with higher minimum rents, gradual leasing of additional unleased space and the lease-up of recaptured underproductive space.
The revenues of the OP may be adversely affected by the inability to collect rent due to bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise. Two department store companies operating six Anchors at the DeBartolo Properties are operating under the protection of the United States Bankruptcy Code. At December 31, 1995, leases (excluding rejected leases) of Anchor tenants open and operating in bankruptcy comprise approximately 1% of Total GLA. Annual rentals paid by these Anchor tenants comprised 2.5% of minimum rents paid by Anchor tenants. At December 31, 1995, leases (excluding rejected leases) of Mall Store tenants open and operating in bankruptcy comprise approximately 6.1% of Mall GLA. Annual rentals paid by these Mall Store tenants comprised 5.6% of minimum rents paid by Mall Store tenants. Substantially all of these tenants are currently meeting their contractual obligations at the DeBartolo Properties. At the time a tenant files for bankruptcy protection it is difficult to determine to what extent these tenants will reject their leases or seek other concessions as a condition to continued occupancy. The OP expects certain of these tenants to reject their leases. Based on past experience, the OP has been able to offset, over a reasonable period of time, the impact on minimum rents caused by a tenant in bankruptcy.
1995 Leasing
During 1995, new leases commenced on 1,377,525 square feet of space in DeBartolo Malls at an average initial rent of $22.27, a 1.8% increase over the 1,352,744 square feet of space covered by new leases that commenced during 1994. Included in the lease activity for 1995 were leases for 213,485 square feet to four specialty anchors. Included in the 1995 lease commencements, are leases to mall shop tenants on 955,666 square feet of previously leased space, excluding specialty anchors. The average initial rent on this space was $26.51 per square foot representing a 20.2% increase over the average expiring rents of $22.06 per square foot for this space. The $26.51 per square foot represents a 6.0% increase over the $25.01 per square foot of initial rent for leases commenced on previously leased space during 1994.
Mall Store Sales
From 1991 through 1995 reported Total Mall Store Sales of all DeBartolo Malls, including Large Space Users (defined as theaters, drug stores, variety stores, cafeterias and other large stores (e.g., health spas, hardware, tire, furniture and specialty stores) ), increased 4.9% from $2.68 billion to $2.81 billion. Total Mall Store Sales are an important factor contributing to the level of revenues generated by the DeBartolo Malls because such sales ultimately influence the total occupancy cost a tenant can pay. Total Mall Store Sales measure a mall portfolio's ability to generate sales over its total square footage and may be affected by occupancy. Total Mall Store Sales increased 1.0% from $2.79 billion in 1994 to $2.81 billion in 1995.
Comparable Mall Store Sales
Comparable Mall Store Sales (defined as sales reported by Mall Store tenants (excluding Larger Space Users) that occupied Mall GLA for two consecutive years) are used to measure the ability of existing tenants to increase their sales in the same leased area from year to year. Comparable Mall Store Sales (excluding Large Space Users) increased between 1994 and 1995 primarily reflecting the introduction of more highly productive tenants into the comparable store base and the closure of stores by weak retailers. The increase is consistent with the OP's strategy of actively managing the tenant mix to capitalize on current shopping trends.
The following table sets forth the changes in Comparable Mall Store Sales from 1991:
1995 1994 1993 1992 1991

|
Occupancy Costs
Another factor influencing the OP's ability to increase rents is occupancy cost. Occupancy cost consists of minimum rent, percentage rent and contributions to operating expenses paid by the tenants. The OP is able to increase rents in part by containing its tenants' operating costs. Since 1991, while the Comparable Mall Store Sales per square foot have grown 6.7%, the OP has been able to increase minimum rents 18.5% while maintaining the tenants occupancy costs at an acceptable level. For all DeBartolo Properties, operating expenses recoverable from tenants increased only $1.6 million, or 1.1% to $145.0 million in 1995 from $143.4 million in 1994. Management believes continuing efforts to increase Comparable Mall Store Sales while controlling property operating expenses will continue the trend of increasing rents at DeBartolo Malls.
The following table shows occupancy costs at DeBartolo Malls as a percentage of Mall Store Sales.

(2) Includes common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and promotional expenses.
Leased Area
At December 31, 1995, 84.4% of the total Mall GLA at the DeBartolo Malls was leased, as compared to 85.0% at December 31, 1994. This decline, in part, reflects the current weak retailing environment that is putting pressure on leasing of Mall Store space in the DeBartolo Malls. The OP is applying its leasing strategies with the goal of increasing the productivity of space on a tenant sales and minimum rent basis. The OP's selective recapture of underproductive leased space has added to vacancy rates but may allow for more profitable and productive leasing in the future. During 1995, 570,000 square feet or 3.8% of Mall GLA, was recovered, of which 330,000 square feet was due to bankruptcies, and the balance was a result of space recovered from variety stores and lease cancellations. As a result, although overall leasing activity remained strong during the year, a decline in tenant renewals combined with an increase in the number of tenants that closed stores caused a decrease in Mall GLA leased. At December 31, 1995, the OP had leases for 282,000 square feet of currently vacant space, or 1.9% of Mall GLA, that has been negotiated and presented to tenants for execution.
The following table sets forth the percentage of Mall GLA leased at the DeBartolo Malls over the last five years.

Seasonal Nature of Regional Shopping Center Industry
The regional shopping center industry is seasonal in nature. Mall Store sales and leased Mall GLA are highest in the fourth quarter due to the Christmas selling season. Back-to-school and Easter events also result in sales fluctuations.
Total Mall Store Sales and leased Mall GLA at the DeBartolo Malls on a quarterly basis were as follows:
% of Mall Store Sales Leased Mall GLA
1995 1994 1995 1994
1st Quarter 21.0% 21.3% 84.0% 85.1%
2nd Quarter 22.2% 21.7% 84.0% 83.8%
3rd Quarter 22.9% 22.7% 83.3% 84.1%
4th Quarter 33.9% 34.3% 84.4% 85.0%
100.0% 100.0%

Minimum rental rates and tenant recoveries generally are not subject to seasonal factors. However, the majority of new stores open in the second half of the year in anticipation of the Christmas and back-to-school selling seasons. Accordingly, occupancy levels and therefore revenues are lower in the first two quarters and highest in the fourth quarter. The majority of store closings occur in the first quarter after the more profitable holiday season.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
As of December 31, 1995, the OP's balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short term investments less amounts held for unitholder distributions was $25 million, including its proportionate share of cash held by unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition to its cash reserves, the OP has unused borrowing capacity of approximately $225 million, which use is restricted in some instances to certain properties. Capital available includes contractual borrowing commitments, subject to customary lender approval rights, of approximately $82.8 million for capital expenditures on properties securing the respective mortgages.
Financings and Refinancings
During 1995, the OP completed various financing and refinancing activities which unencumbered three properties.
DeBartolo Realty Corporation completed a public offering of 6,000,000 shares of common stock in August, 1995 generating net proceeds of approximately $80.4 million. These proceeds were contributed to the operating partnership in exchange for units and principally used to repay existing mortgage debt at two properties. The OP also drew $50.0 million under its then existing revolving credit facility to repay existing debt at one property in anticipation of a redevelopment and expansion of this property. The OP also unencumbered two additional properties with a lender by assigning the liability for these mortgage notes to two other properties currently encumbered with mortgages due to this lender.
In December, 1995 the OP expanded its revolving credit facility from $50 million to $120 million (availability increased to $94.5 million, $55 million of which was immediately drawn) with a future expansion to $150 million (increasing availability to $144.5 million) in the first quarter of 1996. This facility is secured by three properties, two of which were unencumbered by the above-mentioned transactions. This new 3-year facility carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 175 basis points, representing a 50 basis point reduction in interest rates from the prior facility. The OP estimates its share of borrowing capacity for four unencumbered properties is approximately $88 million.
In May, 1995 the OP extended the maturity of the debt on one property for 18 months which also increased the note rate from 6.4% to 8.34% for this period. Three loans totaling $44.1 million for one DeBartolo Property were refinanced in September, 1995 for a total of $59.5 million ($46.5 million currently outstanding), providing additional borrowing of $13.0 million to be drawn upon over the next twelve months for the expansion and renovation of that property. The new debt has an interest rate of 7.43% and matures in September, 2007. The weighted average interest rate on the maturing debt was 9.20%. A loan in the amount of $55 million was restructured in December, 1995 at the same principal amount, which extended the maturity by seven years and reduced the interest rate from 8.88% to 7.42%.
Debt
The OP's pro rata share of debt is approximately $1.55 billion which
includes the OP's pro rata share of debt applicable to the nonconsolidated
joint ventures of $249.5 million. The OP's pro rata share of total floating
rate debt is $275.5 million and is subject to the below-mentioned interest rate
swaps and interest rate caps. Interest savings resulting from the rate caps
totaled $2.8 million in 1995.
During December 1995, the OP entered into an interest rate swap agreement
to pay LIBOR at (i) 4.75% on approximately $218 million of debt through April
1997 and (ii) 5.71% on $87.2 million of debt from May 1997 through April 2001.
As part of this arrangement, the OP assigned the following interest rate caps
(i) 4.75% through April 1996 and 5.25% from May 1996 through April 1997 on
approximately $131 million of debt and (ii) 4.75% through April 1996 on
$87.2 million of debt. The OP has an interest rate cap which limits interest
on $87.2 million of debt to no more than LIBOR of 8.44% for the period May 1996
through March 2001. The effect of this transaction is to extend the former
interest rate protection agreements beyond their expiration dates at interest
rates that are equal to or less than the prior agreement levels.
Loans maturing during 1996 total $151.1 million for three consolidated properties and $25.9 million for two nonconsolidated joint ventures. The OP expects to refinance $137.7 million relating to two of the consolidated properties and has conveyed ownership of a third property to its lender effective as of March 1, 1996, thereby fully satisfying the outstanding balance of $13.4 million. The OP has extended or anticipates extending the maturity dates relating to the mortgages of the two nonconsolidated joint ventures.
The interest coverage ratio based on the OP's share of EBITDA and interest expense was 2.09:1 in 1995 and 2.02:1 in 1994.
Capital Resources
The OP's management anticipates that its cash generated from operating performance will provide the necessary funds for its operating expenses, interest expense on outstanding indebtedness, recurring capital expenditures and distributions. The OP also believes that it has capital and access to capital resources, including additional borrowings and issuances of debt, sufficient to expand and develop its strategic plan for growth.
Capital Expenditures
Strategic Expansions and Renovations. Historically, expansions and major renovations of DeBartolo Malls have been a substantial source of increased cash flow. The OP focuses its expansion and renovation programs primarily where additions, expansions or replacements of Anchors are planned and where market rents on major lease rollovers can be further increased. The addition of food courts, theaters and other traffic-generating tenants are frequently integrated with these programs. The effect is to leverage renovation dollars by targeting key opportunities to reinvigorate the merchandising, leasing and marketing of a mall and its peripheral property. Related investments by Anchors in expanding or renovating their stores provide additional leverage. The OP announced during the quarter ending September 30, 1995 plans to invest approximately $500 million over a five year period in strategic redevelopment programs at the DeBartolo Properties ("Planned Capital Investment Strategy").
The following table sets forth the components of capital expenditures showing both the total capital expenditures and the amount attributable to the OP's interest in the DeBartolo Properties:

Beach, Florida.
The OP completed strategic renovations and expansions at ten properties in
1995. The aggregate costs of the projects completed was $36 million of which
the OP's share was approximately $30 million. The table below summarizes

Tenant Allowances. The OP's strategy to maximize performance of the existing portfolio includes providing tenant allowances to modernize and regenerate specialty store space and also to attract specific tenants aimed at increasing customer traffic as well as increasing rents. The OP's share of recurring tenant allowances paid during 1995 was $7.0 million as compared to the $8.5 million spent in 1994.
Cash Generated Before Debt Repayments and Capital Expenditures
Management believes that cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures (commonly referred to as funds from operations) provides an important indicator of the financial performance of the OP. Cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures is defined as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property (other than adjacent land located at DeBartolo Properties after April 21, 1994), plus depreciation and amortization and other non-cash items, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Accordingly, management expects that cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures will be the most significant factor considered in determining the amount of cash distributions.
The OP's management believes that cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures is an important and widely used measure of the operating performance which provides a relevant basis for comparison among real estate companies. Cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures is presented to assist in analyzing the performance of the OP. The OP's method of calculating cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures may be different from the methods used by other real estate companies to calculate funds from operations. Cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures: (i) does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows for operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

(3)The 1995 adjustment represents gain on the sale of a partnership interest in a mall development site acquired from the DeBartolo Group and simultaneously sold to a third party. The 1994 adjustment represents gains prior to April 21, 1994.
For 1995, cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures rose 7.8% to $129.6 million from $120.2 million in 1994. On a per unit basis, cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures rose 4.1% to $1.51 from $1.45 in 1994. The lower percent increase on a per unit basis reflects the greater number of units outstanding.
Economic Conditions
In the last four years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the OP because there has been disinflation in apparel pricing which has slowed the growth of tenant sales. In the event of higher inflation, however, substantially all of the tenants' leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the impact of inflation on the OP. Such provisions include clauses enabling the OP to receive percentage rentals based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of leases. In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than ten years which may enable the OP to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rentals if rents of the existing leases are below the then-existing market rate. Most of the leases require the tenants to pay their share of property operating expenses, thereby reducing the OP's exposure to increases in costs and property operating expenses resulting from inflation.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THROUGH JUNE 30, 1996
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements and the notes thereto.
GENERAL BACKGROUND
The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the term "Mall Store" means stores (other than Anchors) that are typically specialty retailers and lease space in shopping centers. "Anchor" generally refers to a department store or other large retail store in excess of 60,000 square feet. The term "Mall GLA" refers to the total gross leasable area of Mall Stores only.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the first quarter of 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired additional partnership interests of 33 1/3% and 25% in two of its then nonconsolidated joint ventures. Effective March 31, 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired an additional 10% partnership interest of a then nonconsolidated joint venture, increasing the Operating Partnership ownership percentage to 60%. As a result of these transactions, the Operating Partnership is now accounting for these properties using the consolidated method of accounting whereas in 1995 the Operating Partnership used the equity method of accounting. Effective March 1, 1996, the Operating Partnership transferred ownership of one property to its lender ("Property Transactions").
Comparison of Consolidated Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
Revenues: Total revenues increased $16.1 million or 10.0% to $176.6 million in 1996 from $160.5 million in 1995. Of this increase, $10.0 million is attributable to the Property Transactions. Minimum rents increased $7.9 million or 7.4% in 1996 of which $6.1 million is the result of the Property Transactions. The remaining increase of $1.8 million is due to a $1.1 million increase in specialty leasing and a $0.7 million increase in minimum rents reflecting continued improvements in rental rates for reletting Mall Store space and rents from specialty anchors on space that was leased subsequent to the second quarter of 1995. Minimum rents include specialty leasing revenues of $5.2 million in 1996 and $3.8 million in 1995.
Tenant recoveries increased $5.6 million or 14.1% of which $2.7 million is
attributable to the Property Transactions. The remaining increase of
$2.9 million is attributable to increased recoverable expenses. Other revenues
increased $2.6 million primarily due to (i) $0.6 million settlement of
previously disputed phone commission income, (ii) a $0.7 million gain on sale
of peripheral land, (iii) $1.0 million increase in advertising revenues, and
(iv) $.3 million in other. Lease cancellation income was $1.9 million for 1996
and 1995.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired the management, leasing and certain other operating divisions of the Property Manager. As a result, the Operating Partnership's other revenues include $1.1 million of management revenues and net profits of leasing and other activities relating to third party contracts and outside interests in joint ventures.
Shopping Center Expenses: Shopping center expenses increased $8.8 million or 15.3% in 1996 of which $3.4 million is attributable to the Property Transactions. Property operating expenses and repairs and maintenance increased $5.1 million in 1996 of which $1.7 million is attributable to the Property Transactions. The remaining $3.4 million increase is due to a $1.1 million increase in snow removal costs and a $1.8 million increase in other shopping center operating expenses. Substantially all of this increase has been recovered from tenants. The 1996 increase in real estate taxes of $1.5 million or 9.1% in 1996 of which $0.9 million is attributable to the Property Transactions. Advertising and promotion expenses increased $1.0 million in 1996 of which $0.6 million is applicable to the Property Transactions. The remaining $0.4 million increase is partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in advertising contributions from tenants.
In 1996, management expenses totaling $4.1 million are substantially comprised of salaries and other general and administrative expenses relating to the management of the Operating Partnership's portfolio. In 1995, these expenses were management fees charged to the 49 consolidated properties, primarily by the Property Manager.
Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased $0.6 million or 0.1% in 1996 including a $1.8 million increase resulting from the Property Transactions. The remaining $2.4 million decrease is caused by debt paydowns utilizing the proceeds of the Company's 1995 follow-on public stock offering which were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional partnership units and a reduction in amortization of interest rate protection agreements resulting from a 1995 interest rate swap agreement.
Joint Ventures: Net income of the nonconsolidated joint ventures increased $6.4 million to $12.9 million in 1996 from $6.5 million in 1995 primarily due to the change in accounting for three joint ventures from the equity method to the consolidated method. Revenues of the nonconsolidated joint ventures decreased $6.5 million to $68.2 million in 1996 from $74.7 million in 1995 of which $10.0 million of the decrease was due to the Property Transactions. The remaining $3.5 million increase is due to (i) a $0.9 million increase in minimum rents, (ii) a $0.5 million increase in specialty leasing revenues, (iii) a $0.7 million increase in revenues from lessees' cancellation of leases, (iv) a $0.6 million increase in tenant recoveries, and (v) a $1.5 million increase in land sales.
Shopping center expenses decreased $3.1 million to $24.6 million in 1996 of which $4.0 million is resulting from the Property Transactions. The remaining $.9 million increase is due to (i) a $0.6 million increase in property operating and repairs and maintenance expenses resulting from increased snow removal and other shopping center operating expenses, and (ii) a $0.3 million increase in advertising expenses.
The Operating Partnership's share of income from nonconsolidated joint ventures increased $4.1 million primarily due to the impact of the Property Transactions.
Net Income: Net income (loss) increased $2.3 million to $23.9 million for 1996 from $21.6 million for 1995 as the result of (i) the 1995 gain on sale of assets represents a gain from the sale of a partnership interest in a mall development site acquired from the DeBartolo Group and simultaneously sold to a third party and (ii) extraordinary items recognized of $1.0 million in 1996 represents a gain of $9.2 million from the disposition of one shopping center and the related extinguishment of debt offset by a one-time charge of $10.2 million for expenses relating to the Company's merger with SPG.
Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities of $23.8 million, as shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows, for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are primarily comprised of additions to investment properties and tenant allowances of $39.9 million (see "capital expenditures") and net contributions to nonconsolidated joint ventures of $12.0 million. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995, principally comprised of additions to investment properties of $22.3 million. These investments were offset by (i) net proceeds from the sale of a partnership interest in a mall site located in Strongsville, Ohio totaling $3.8 million in the first quarter 1995 and (ii) distributions received from nonconsolidated joint ventures of $11.1 million.
Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 totaled $47.7 and $49.9 million, respectively, principally comprised of distributions to the Operating Partnership's unitholders.
Comparison of Combined Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 to Three Months Ended June 30, 1995
Revenues: Total revenues increased $7.0 million or 8.6% to $88.2 million in second quarter 1996 from $81.2 million in second quarter 1995. Of this increase, $6.2 million is attributable to the Property Transactions. Minimum rents increased $4.6 million or 8.6% in second quarter 1996 of which $3.8 million is the result of the Property Transactions. The remaining increase of $0.8 million is due to a $0.4 million increase in specialty leasing and a $0.4 million increase in minimum rents reflecting continued improvements in rental rates for reletting Mall Store space and rents from specialty anchors on space that was leased subsequent to the second quarter of 1995.
Tenant recoveries increased $2.3 million or 11.6% of which $1.7 million is attributable to the Property Transactions. The remaining increase of $0.6 million is attributable to increased recoverable expenses. Other revenues decreased $0.1 million primarily due to $0.8 million decrease in lease cancellation income.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired the management, leasing and certain other operating divisions of the Property Manager. As a result, the Operating Partnership's other revenues include $1.1 million of management revenues and net profits of leasing and other activities relating to third party contracts with outside interests in joint ventures.
Shopping Center Expenses: Shopping center expenses increased $3.9 million or 13.2% in second quarter 1996 of which $1.5 million is attributable to the Property Transactions. Property operating expenses and repairs and maintenance increased $1.8 million in second quarter 1996 of which $0.9 million is attributable to the Property Transactions. Substantially all of this increase has been recovered from tenants. Real estate taxes increased $1.2 million in 1996 of which $0.7 million is attributable to Property Transactions.
In 1996, management expenses totaling $2.0 million are substantially comprised of salaries and other general and administrative expenses relating to the management of the Operating Partnership's portfolio. In 1995, these expenses were management fees charged to the 49 consolidated properties, primarily by the Property Manager.
Interest Expense: Interest expense increased $0.8 million in second quarter 1996 including a $1.0 million increase resulting from the Property Transactions. The remaining $0.3 million decrease is caused by debt paydowns utilizing the proceeds of the Company's 1995 follow-on public stock offering which were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional partnership units and a reduction in amortization of interest rate protection agreements resulting from a 1995 interest rate swap agreement.
Joint Ventures: Net income of the nonconsolidated joint ventures increased $3.8 million to $7.4 million in second quarter 1996 from $3.5 million in second quarter 1995 primarily due to the change in accounting for two joint ventures from the equity method to the consolidated method. Revenues of the nonconsolidated joint ventures decreased $4.6 million to $33.1 million in second quarter 1996 from $37.7 million in second quarter 1995 of which $6.1 million of the decrease was due to the Property Transactions. The remaining increase is due to a $1.5 million increase in revenues from land sales.
Shopping center expenses decreased $2.5 million to $11.3 million in 1996 of which $2.5 million is resulting from the Property Transactions.
The Operating Partnership's share of income from nonconsolidated joint ventures increased $2.3 million primarily due to the impact of the Property Transactions.
Net Income: Net income decreased $8.9 million to $.9 million for the second quarter 1996 from $9.8 million for the second quarter 1995 as the result of extraordinary items recognized in the second quarter of 1996 for a one-time charge of $10.2 million for expenses relating to the Company's merger with Simon Property Group.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General. As of June 30, 1996, the Operating Partnership's total capital availability was approximately $239 million. Of the $239 million, approximately $28.3 million is reserved for distributions payable in July, 1996. The Operating Partnership's unused borrowing capacity was approximately $206 million including $90 million of contractual borrowing commitments, subject to customary lender approval rights, for capital expenditures on properties securing the respective mortgages.
Financings and Refinancings. In April, 1996 the Operating Partnership expanded its revolving credit facility to $150 million and total availability increased to $140 million of which $62 million is outstanding at June 30, 1996. This facility is secured by three properties and carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 175 basis points.
Effective March 29, 1996, the Operating Partnership finalized a joint venture agreement with a financial institution and closed a $52 million construction loan with a group of banks for the development of Indian River Mall and a complementary power center. The Operating Partnership owns 50% of this joint venture.
In June, 1996 the Operating Partnership obtained a $66 million mortgage, of which $60 million is outstanding as of June 30, 1996, on one nonconsolidated property at a rate of 6.78%. The Operating Partnership also refinanced an $18 million mortgage on a nonconsolidated property at a rate of 9.04%.
Debt. The Operating Partnership's pro rata share of debt is approximately $1.606 billion which includes the Operating Partnership's pro rata share of debt applicable to the nonconsolidated joint ventures of $216.3 million. The Operating Partnership's pro rata share of total floating rate debt is $282.7 million and is subject to the below-mentioned interest rate swaps and interest rate caps.
The Operating Partnership has an interest rate swap agreement to pay LIBOR at (i) 4.75% on approximately $218 million of debt through April 1997 and (ii) 5.71% on $87.2 million of debt from May 1997 through April 2001. The Operating Partnership has an interest rate cap agreement which limits interest on $87.2 million of debt to no more than LIBOR of 8.44% for the period May 1996 through March 2001.
Loans maturing during 1996 total $151.1 million for three consolidated properties and $25.9 million for two nonconsolidated joint ventures. The Operating Partnership expects to refinance $137.7 million relating to two of the consolidated properties and has conveyed ownership of a third property to its lender effective as of March 1, 1996, thereby fully satisfying the outstanding balance of $13.4 million. The Operating Partnership has extended or anticipates extending the maturity dates relating to the mortgages of the two nonconsolidated joint ventures.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
The Operating Partnership continued to implement its $500 million strategic redevelopment, renovation and remerchandising program which will ultimately impact 34 of the Operating Partnership's 50 super-regional and regional malls.
During the first six months of 1996, the Company invested $70.3 million ($52.4 million Operating Partnership's share) including $36.1 million for consolidated properties in its development program. The Operating Partnership is progressing on the construction of Indian River Mall incurring 1996 costs of $16.9 million. Construction commenced on mall renovations and food court additions at Chautauqua Mall and Lafayette Square. Expansions at Summit Mall and University Park Mall are nearing completion with grand re-openings scheduled for the fall of 1996. Burlington Coat Factory at Randall Park Mall opened in April, 1996 and Waccamaw at Lafayette Square opened in June, 1996. At The Florida Mall, work on the new Saks Fifth Avenue store is proceeding on target for its fall 1996 opening.
Tenant allowances for consolidated properties paid during the six months ended June 30, 1996 totaled $3.7 million compared to $2.1 million during the same period in 1995.
PORTFOLIO LEASING AND SALES TRENDS
Rental Rates: During the six months ended June 30, 1996, new leases commenced on 475,198 square feet of space in DeBartolo Malls at an average initial rent of $23.01. Included in the 1996 lease commencements are leases to mall shop tenants on 430,544 square feet of previously leased space at average initial minimum rents of $22.92 per square foot which represents an 18.9% increase over the average expiring rents of $19.28 per square foot for this space.
Leased Area: Leased mall area decreased to 83.8% as of June 30, 1996, from 84.0% at June 30, 1995. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, 320,000 square feet of underproductive space was recovered. Of that space, 235,000 square feet was due to bankruptcies, with the balance due to lease cancellations. As a result, although the impact from bankruptcies continues, the Operating Partnership was able to offset these losses with leasing activity throughout the portfolio.
Mall Store Sales: Total Mall Store Sales are an important factor contributing to the level of revenues generated by the DeBartolo Malls because such sales ultimately influence the total occupancy cost a tenant can pay. Total Mall Store Sales measure a mall portfolio's ability to generate sales over its total square footage and may be affected by occupancy. Total Mall Store sales of DeBartolo Malls, including Large Space Users (defined as theaters, drug stores, variety stores, cafeterias and other large stores), increased 1.3% to $1.229 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $1.213 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Mall Store sales decreased 1.0% to $616.7 million for the second quarter 1996, compared to $623.2 million in the second quarter 1995. Comparable Mall Store sales increased 2.8% during the second quarter 1996 and increased 6.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 versus the same period in 1995.
CASH GENERATED BEFORE DEBT PAYMENTS AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Management believes that cash generated before debt repayments and capital
expenditures (commonly referred to as funds from operations) provides an
important indicator of the financial performance of the Operating Partnership.
Cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures is defined as
net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or
losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property (other than adjacent land
located at DeBartolo Properties after April 21, 1994), plus depreciation of
real property and certain amortization and other non-cash items, and after
adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Accordingly,
management expects that cash generated before debt repayments and capital
expenditures will be the most significant factor considered in determining the
amount of cash distributions the Operating Partnership will make to
unitholders.
The following shows cash generated before debt repayments and capital
expenditures:

(1) The calculation of cash generated before debt payments and capital
expenditures has been revised to adopt the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trust's revised definition. The cash generated before debt
payments and capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1995 has
been restated to $58.0 million from $58.7 million to conform with the 1996
calculation and presentation. Adjustments include (i) $0.3 million for
depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment, (ii) $0.3 million for
amortization of deferred loan costs and (iii) $1.6 million for the
amortization of interest rate protection agreements, and (iv) an adjustment
of $1.5 million to include straight-line rent accruals.
(2) The depreciation, amortization and other is comprised of the following:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited and Dollars in Thousands)
Note 1 - Organization and Ownership
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results for the interim period ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P. December 31, 1995 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein.
DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") and an affiliate, DeBartolo Capital Partnership, a Delaware general partnership, are engaged in the ownership, development, management, leasing, acquisition and expansion of super-regional and regional malls and community shopping centers. The Operating Partnership's sole general partner is DeBartolo Realty Corporation (the "Company"), an Ohio corporation which operates as a self- administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"), which at June 30, 1996 holds a 61.9% interest in the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership was formed to continue and expand the shopping mall ownership, management and development business of The Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation ("EJDC") in a portfolio which, as of June 30, 1996, consisted of 50 super-regional and regional malls (the "DeBartolo Malls"), 11 community centers and land held for future development (collectively, the "DeBartolo Properties"). As of June 30, 1996, EJDC and certain affiliates (collectively, the "DeBartolo Group") and certain current and former employees of EJDC, along with JCP Realty, Inc. ("JCP"), own the remaining 38.1% interest in the Operating Partnership.
In addition, the Operating Partnership owns 100% of the non-voting preferred stock and a non-controlling common stock interest (5%) in DeBartolo Properties Management, Inc. (the "Property Manager") which provides certain architectural, design, construction and other services to substantially all of the DeBartolo Properties, as well as, certain other regional malls and community shopping centers owned by third parties.
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Operating Partnership are presented on a consolidated basis. Properties which are controlled through majority ownership have been consolidated and all significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Properties where the Operating Partnership owns less than a majority interest have been accounted for under the equity method. One property, which is owned 2% by the Operating Partnership, is accounted for under the cost method.
The Operating Partnership owns 5% of the voting common stock and all of the nonvoting preferred stock of the Property Manager. The Operating Partnership accounts for the investment in the Property Manager under the equity method.
Note 3 - Restricted Cash
Cash is restricted primarily for renovations and redevelopment of the 17 DeBartolo Properties in connection with a securitized commercial pass- through certificate issuance simultaneously with the IPO.
Note 4 - Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions
The parent company of the Operating Partnership entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 26, 1996 (the "Agreement"), among Simon Property Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("SPG"), its merger subsidiary and the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to merge with the merger subsidiary. The Agreement provides for the exchange of all outstanding Company common stock for SPG common stock, $0.0001 par value (the "SPG Common Stock"), at an exchange ratio of 0.68 shares of SPG Common Stock for each share of Company common stock. The merger and other related transactions closed on August 9, 1996. Shareholders of the Company received approximately 37.9 million shares of SPG common stock valued at $24.375 per share. During the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, the Company incurred $10,200 of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses associated with the merger. These costs were charged to expense.
During January, 1996, the Property Manager acquired partnership interests of 33 1/3% and 25% in two joint ventures, respectively, from an unrelated joint venture partner. As a result, the Operating Partnership effectively owns 65% and 74% of these joint ventures and includes the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of these joint ventures in its consolidated financial statements. Effective March 31, 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired an additional 10% partnership interest in Miami International Mall. As a result, the Operating Partnership owns 60% of this joint venture and includes the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in its consolidated financial statements effective April 1, 1996.
The Operating Partnership transferred ownership of one property to its lender, as of March 1, 1996, fully satisfying the property's mortgage note payable. This property no longer met the Operating Partnership's criteria for its ongoing strategic plan. The Operating Partnership has recognized an extraordinary gain on this transaction of $9.2 million. The Operating Partnership's share of this property's net income (loss) for 1993, 1994 and 1995 was $9, ($760) and ($513), respectively. The Operating Partnership's share of this property's cash generated before debt payments and capital expenditures ("FFO") for 1993, 1994 and 1995 was $512, ($237) and $48, respectively.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired the management, leasing and certain other operating divisions of the Property Manager. The operating results of these divisions are included in the Operating Partnership's consolidated financial statements net of eliminated intercompany transactions. The Property Manager continues to provide architectural, engineering and construction services for the Operating Partnership.
Note 5 - Investment in Nonconsolidated Joint Ventures
As a result of the above-discussed acquisitions, the combined Balance Sheet of the nonconsolidated joint ventures includes the financial position of nine joint ventures at June 30, 1996 and twelve joint ventures at December 31, 1995. Three joint ventures, in which the Operating Partnership acquired additional partnership interests during the first quarter of 1996, are included in the Operating Partnership's consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 1996 (see Note 4 above).

DEBARTOLO REALTY PARTNERSHIP, L.P. NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
DEBARTOLO RETAIL GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in Thousands)
Note 1 - Organization and Formation
DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership" or "OP") was
formed as a Delaware limited partnership in 1993 in connection with DeBartolo
Realty Corporation's ( the "Company") initial public offering (the "IPO"). On
April 21, 1994, the Company raised $498 million in net proceeds through the
Company's IPO.
The proceeds of the IPO were used to acquire general partnership interests in
the OP, and indirectly, interest in DeBartolo Capital Partnership, a Delaware
general partnership ("FP"). The Company acquired a 47.8% general partner
interest in the OP in exchange for its contribution of these net proceeds to the
OP. The OP, and consequently the FP, were formed to continue and expand the
shopping mall ownership, management and development business of The Edward J.
DeBartolo Corporation ("EJDC") in a portfolio which, as of December 31, 1995,
consists of 51 super-regional and regional malls (the "DeBartolo Malls"), 11
community centers and land held for future development (collectively, the
"DeBartolo Properties"). As the sole general partner of the OP, the Company has
full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the management and
control of the OP. The OP was formed prior to the consummation of the Company's
IPO and is the successor entity to the DeBartolo Retail Group. During 1995,
certain property management and development activities are carried out for the
OP and FP through an affiliate, DeBartolo Properties Management, Inc. (the
"Property Manager").
Concurrently with the completion of the IPO, the FP completed a $455 million principal amount securitized debt financing (the "Securitized Debt Financing"). Simultaneously with the IPO, EJDC and certain affiliates (collectively, the "DeBartolo Group") and certain current and former employees of EJDC, along with JCP Realty, Inc. ("JCP"), contributed to the OP interests in the DeBartolo Properties (and certain other assets) for limited partnership interests in the OP. Pursuant to an Exchange Rights Agreement, in April 1995 the Company filed a registration statement for the issuance of 34,168,347 shares of common stock. The Exchange Rights Agreement provides for the conversion of the limited partner interests to shares of common stock. The Exchange Rights Agreement is subject to certain restrictions relating to the initial exercise period, minimum value of interest exchanged, and ownership limitations.
In connection with the IPO, the OP received options to acquire the interests of the estate of Edward J. DeBartolo and other members of his family and affiliates in four DeBartolo Malls and one community center. On July 1, 1995, the Company exercised these options and acquired a 12.8% interest in Miami International Mall, 10.1% interests in University Park Mall and University Center and 0.1% interests in Coral Square and Lakeland Square. The exercise price of approximately $9.4 million was payable in limited partnership interests in the OP. As a result of these acquisitions, the Company's percentage ownership in the OP decreased from 58.8% to 58.3%.
On August 1, 1995, the Company completed a public offering of 6,000,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $14 1/4 per share raising net proceeds of approximately $80.4 million. The Company contributed the net proceeds to the OP, which has used the net proceeds to retire mortgage debt (including any related prepayment penalties). As a result of the contribution by the Company to the OP of the net proceeds of the offering, the Company's percentage ownership in the OP increased from 58.3% to 61.1%.
During August 1995, EJDC exchanged limited partnership interests in the OP to retire certain EJDC corporate debt. The lender immediately exchanged the limited partnership interests in the OP for common stock of the Company. As a result of this transaction, the Company's percentage ownership in the OP increased from 61.1% to 61.8%.
At December 31, 1995, ownership in the OP is as follows:

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the OP are presented on a consolidated basis. Properties which are controlled through majority ownership have been consolidated and all significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Properties where the OP owns less than a majority interest have been accounted for under the equity method. One property, 2% of which is owned by the OP, is accounted for under the cost method.
The OP owns 5% of the voting common stock and all of the nonvoting preferred stock of the Property Manager. The OP's pro rata share is 95% of the Property Manager's operating results. The OP accounted for its investment in the Property Manager under the cost method through September 30, 1995. During 1995, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-6, Accounting by a Real Estate Investment Trust for an Investment in a Service Corporation, the OP changed its method of accounting for its investment in the Property Manager to the equity method. The OP has applied the new accounting method retroactively to April 21, 1994, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 20, Accounting Changes. The change had no significant impact to previously issued financial results for 1994 and 1995.
The accompanying combined financial statements of DeBartolo Retail Group represent DeBartolo Properties previously owned by EJDC and certain of its affiliates. The historical financial statements of DeBartolo Retail Group are presented on a combined basis because EJDC and certain of its affiliates were the subject of the business combination discussed above. The business combination has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control, which is similar to the accounting used for a pooling of interests.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Properties:
Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which in the opinion of management is not in excess of net realizable value. Costs incurred for the acquisition, development, construction and improvement of properties, including significant renovations, are capitalized. Interest costs and real estate taxes incurred with respect to qualified expenditures relating to the construction of assets are capitalized during the development period.
Depreciation and Amortization:
The cost of buildings, improvements and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, as follows:
Buildings - 30 to 40 years
Improvements - shorter of lease term or useful life
Equipment - 3 to 10 years
Tenant allowances paid to tenants for construction are capitalized and amortized over the terms of each specific lease. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.
Deferred Charges:
Deferred charges consist principally of financing costs and leasing commissions which are amortized over the terms of the respective agreements.
Capitalized Interest:
Interest is capitalized on projects during the construction period. Interest capitalized was $1,614 in 1995; $686 from inception to December 31, 1994; $13 for the period January 1, 1994 to April 20, 1994, and $219 in 1993.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash:
Cash is restricted primarily for renovations and redevelopment of certain DeBartolo Properties in connection with the Securitized Debt Financing.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:
* The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments approximate carrying value due to the short- term nature of these instruments.
* The fair value of the OP's fixed rate mortgages and notes payable is based on current rates available to the OP for debt of similar terms. Fair value of variable rate debt is considered to be the carrying amount.
* The fair value of the interest rate caps and interest rate swaps are based on available market data.
Minority Interests:
Minority interests in consolidated joint ventures represent the amounts of net assets of consolidated ventures attributable to the interests of outside parties. Minority interests in capital deficits of joint ventures are carried as assets to the extent considered recoverable.
Revenue Recognition:
Shopping center space is generally leased to specialty retail tenants under short and intermediate term leases which are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized on the straight-line method over the terms of leases. Percentage rents are recognized on an accrual basis as earned. Real estate tax and operating expense recoveries are recognized in the period the applicable costs are incurred.
Ground Leases:
Certain properties, as lessees, lease land under operating leases. Rent expense is recorded on the straight-line method over the term of these leases.
Income Taxes:
The allocable share of the taxable income or loss of the OP is includable in the income tax returns of the partners; accordingly, income taxes are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Earnings Per Unit:
Earnings per unit is based on the weighted average number of units outstanding for the year ending December 31, 1995 and for the period of April 21, 1994 through December 31, 1994. Units of common stock awarded during 1994 under a deferred stock plan (70,696 units) and units of common stock awarded under a long-term incentive plan (245,200 units) have been considered outstanding units. In April 1995, the OP issued 96,006 units of common stock under both plans. Both plans are a part of the 1994 DeBartolo Realty Corporation Stock Incentive Plan. For purposes of determining fully dilutive earnings per unit, the remaining 2,427,100 units of common stock under the long- term incentive deferred stock plan are anti-dilutive after adjusting earnings to give effect to the increase in earnings necessary for the units of common stock to be awarded under the plan.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Statement 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The OP will adopt Statement 121 in the first quarter of 1996 and, based on current circumstances, does not believe the effect of adoption will be material. The OP continually analyzes its mall properties based on investment related criteria and, as a result, the OP may determine to dispose of certain properties. Current circumstances based on the OP's intention to hold the properties for long-term appreciation, do not indicate that any of the OP's properties are impaired. However, if a decision is made to dispose of certain properties, it is reasonably possible that significant write-downs may be required.
Reclassifications:
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Peripheral land parcels primarily consist of undeveloped land parcels adjacent to certain shopping centers.
Depreciation expense totaled $55,315 in 1995; $37,298 from April 21, 1994 to December 31, 1994; $15,792 for the period January 1, 1994 to April 20, 1994; and $51,431 for 1993.
The DeBartolo Group has granted the OP options to purchase their interests in two shopping center development sites at an agreed upon purchase price. These options are subject to the rights and approvals of existing lenders, third parties and governmental authorities. The OP has options and rights of first refusal to purchase the DeBartolo Group's interest in two regional malls. The option prices are fair market value at any time until December 31, 1998.
As of December 31, 1995, the OP had options to acquire the interests of three outside partners in five DeBartolo Properties. These options are subject to the rights of partners and lenders and to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In January 1996, the Property Manager acquired the interests of one outside partner in two properties, see Note 16.
Note 5 - Investments in Nonconsolidated Joint Ventures
The OP's investments in the joint ventures, which have been accounted for under the equity method, are as follows:

During December 1995, the OP entered into an interest rate swap agreement to pay LIBOR at (i) 4.75% on approximately $218 million of debt through April 1997 and (ii) 5.71% on $87.2 million of debt from May 1997 through April 2001. As part of this arrangement, the OP assigned the following interest rate protection agreements (i) 4.75% through April 1996 and 5.25% from May 1996 through April 1997 on approximately $131 million of debt and (ii) 4.75% through April 1996 on $87.2 million of debt. The OP has an interest rate protection agreement which limits interest on $87.2 million of debt to no more than LIBOR of 8.44% for the period May 1996 through March 2001.
The OP's proportionate share of the mortgages and notes payable are as follows as of December 31:

During 1995, the OP paid off mortgages of $117,227 at three properties and obtained the release of mortgage liens at two properties. Additionally, the OP refinanced three loans at one property totaling $44,098 with a $59,500 mortgage note payable (of which $46,528 is currently outstanding), providing additional borrowing capacity of up to $13,000 to be drawn upon over the subsequent twelve months for expansion and renovation of that property. The OP refinanced $9,518 of construction loans at three community centers with permanent financing totaling $15,000.
In December 1995, the OP amended and expanded its revolving line of credit from $50,000 to $120,000, subject to certain conditions being met. As of December 31, 1995, total current availability under this working line is $94,500, of which $55,000 is outstanding. The facility is secured by the mortgages of two properties and a negative pledge of a third property and is recourse to the OP. The OP anticipates the facility to be increased to $150,000 and the availability will be increased to $144,500 during the first quarter of 1996 once certain conditions are met including additional collateral of a mortgage on the negative pledged property. Interest is provided at the lesser of LIBOR plus 175 basis points or the Base Rate, as defined. The facility matures in December 1998, however, the OP has a one-year extension option. The facility requires the OP to maintain a minimum net worth as defined, limits the OP's indebtedness and provides for other restrictive covenants.
The OP restructured a $54,906 mortgage note payable having an interest rate of 8 7/8% maturing January, 1998. The new mortgage matures January, 2005 and bears interest at 7.42% . In connection with this transaction, the OP made a partial paydown of $5,491 on a mortgage note of a nonconsolidated joint venture.
Commercial mortgage pass-through certificate covenants require the OP to fund into escrow reserves for renovations, repairs and maintenance and tenant improvements and requires the FP to maintain Minimum Debt Service coverage ratios (as defined) and provides for other restrictive covenants.
Annual reserve funding requirements are as follows:
1996 $ 7,600

DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P. has guaranteed $29,946 of the mortgages and notes payable relating to three consolidated properties and three nonconsolidated joint ventures. An affiliate of EJDC continues to provide a guarantee of 33 1/3% of the debt service obligation on a $100,000 floating rate mortgage at one nonconsolidated joint venture. The OP has agreed to indemnify the EJDC affiliate for any loss or costs incurred or associated with this guaranty.
DeBartolo, Inc., parent of EJDC, and certain of its affiliates have guaranteed $100,000 of the OP's mortgages and notes payable.

The OP's proportionate share of mortgage notes and other notes payable on both its consolidated and nonconsolidated properties was $1,555,099 at December 31, 1995.
Note 9 - Rentals Under Operating Leases
The properties receive rental income from the leasing of retail shopping center space and an office tower under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2026. Substantially all investment property is leased out under operating leases. The minimum future rentals based on operating leases held are as follows as of December 31, 1995

(1) Represents stores whose parent company also owns units of the OP or stores whose chief executive officers are on the Board of Directors of the Company.
Minimum future rentals do not include amounts which may be received under the terms of certain leases based upon a percentage of the tenants' sales or as reimbursement of shopping center expenses.
No single tenant or group of affiliated tenants collectively accounts for more than 10% of the consolidated properties total revenues which include minimum rents, tenant recoveries, percentage rents and other revenue. The tenant base includes national and regional retail chains and local retailers and consequently the consolidated properties credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry. The DeBartolo Malls are located in 16 states, with 17 malls located in Florida and 8 malls located in Ohio.
The revenues of the OP may be adversely affected by the inability to collect rent due to bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise. Two department store companies operating six department stores or other large retail stores in excess of 60,000 square feet ("Anchor") at the consolidated DeBartolo Properties are operating under the protection of the United States Bankruptcy Code. At December 31, 1995, leases (excluding rejected leases) of Anchor tenants open and operating in bankruptcy comprise approximately 1% of total gross leasable area ("GLA"). Annual rentals paid by these Anchor tenants comprised 2.5% of minimum rents paid by Anchor tenants. At December 31, 1995, leases (excluding rejected leases) of mall store tenants at consolidated DeBartolo Properties open and operating in bankruptcy comprise approximately 6.4% of mall GLA. Annual rentals paid by these mall store tenants comprised 6.1% of minimum rents paid by mall store tenants. Substantially all of these tenants are currently meeting their contractual obligations. At the time a tenant files for bankruptcy protection it is difficult to determine to what extent these tenants will reject their leases or seek other concessions as a condition to continued occupancy. The OP expects certain of these tenants to reject their leases. Based on past experience, the OP has been able to offset, over a reasonable period of time, the impact on minimum rents caused by a tenant in bankruptcy.

Insurance: The OP has first dollar commercial general liability coverage and special cause of loss property insurance with a $5 deductible. Prior to 1995 the OP's insurance carrier reinsured certain coverages with an affiliate of EJDC. Charges to the OP for the reinsured amounts totaled $3,462 from April 21, 1994 to December 31, 1994. Prior to April 21, 1994, the DeBartolo Retail Group had first dollar commercial general liability insurance of which an affiliated insurance company reinsured the first $250 per occurrence. Additionally, the DeBartolo Retail Group had "All Risk" Property insurance. The insurance company reinsured the first $95 per occurrence with an affiliate of EJDC. Charges for the reinsured amounts totaled $1,374 for the period January 1, 1994 to April 20, 1994 and $4,355 for 1993.
Affiliate Leases: On November 6, 1995, Fun-N-Games, an affiliate of EJDC which operated amusement centers in DeBartolo Properties, was sold to an independent third party operator which continues to operate these stores. These properties have recorded total revenues and operating expense reimbursements of $1,771 from January 1, 1995 through November 6, 1995, $1,571 from April 21, 1994 to December 31, 1994, $776 for the period from January 1, 1994 to April 20, 1994 and $2,287 for 1993.
Affiliates of certain Anchor tenants and small shops in various properties are partners in various properties or are partners in the OP. As of December 31, 1995, these tenants own or lease space in 29 consolidated properties. These properties recorded rental income and operating expense reimbursements of $10,933 in 1995; $8,926 from April 21, 1994 to December 31, 1994; $3,314 for the period January 1,1994 to April 20, 1994; and $12,674 for 1993.
Affiliated Receivables (Payables): At December 31, 1995, the affiliated receivable represents a $4,018 revolving loan receivable from the Property Manager bearing interest at prime plus 200 basis points offset by amounts due to the Property Manager for normal operating costs. Interest earned by the OP on this revolver totaled $258 in 1995. At December 31, 1994, affiliated receivables represent amounts due to the Property Manager for normal monthly operating costs offset by dividends receivable from the Property Manager of $809. At December 31, 1993, net affiliated receivables (which are primarily non-interest bearing) are due from EJDC. Concurrent with the offering, these affiliated receivables were distributed to EJDC. Interest expense includes interest charged to properties by EJDC on net amounts due to EJDC totaling $760 for the period January 1, 1994 to April 20, 1994 and $2,754 in 1993.
The Property Manager leases office space from EJDC under an operating lease. Rent charged under the lease totaled $1,092 in 1995 and $755 in 1994.
The Property Manager performs legal, tax and other services for EJDC under a corporate service agreement. Fees for these services totaled $570 in 1995 and $425 in 1994.
Note 12 - Stock Incentive Plan
The Company and the OP adopted the DeBartolo Realty Corporation 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan") to provide incentives to attract and retain officers, directors and key employees.
The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grants of nonqualified and incentive stock options to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock ("Options") or rights to future grants of Common Stock ("Deferred Stock"). Under the Stock Incentive Plan, 3,100,000 shares of Common Stock are available for grant.
The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors has approved the grant of approximately 2,743,000 shares in the form of Deferred Stock in connection with a two-part, long-term incentive compensation program.
Deferred Stock Awards upon Completion of the Offering
Upon completion of the IPO, approximately 71,000 shares of Deferred Stock were granted to certain employees of the Company and the Property Manager, and will vest ratably over a five-year period. The vesting of this initial Deferred Stock award is based only on service and will not depend on the Company's financial performance.
Long-Term Incentive Deferred Stock Awards. The second and more significant component of the Company and the OP's long-term compensation proposal is a Deferred Stock grant for which vesting is tied to the attainment of annual and cumulative targets for growth in the Company's funds from operations ("FFO") per share (which is substantially equivalent to cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures, including peripheral land sales) after adjusting for a reserve (not to exceed a specified amount) set annually to cover tenant allowances and the use of floating rate debt through 1998. This long- term incentive Deferred Stock grant includes senior management and approximately 130 key employees of the Property Manager. Any Deferred Stock award earned upon attainment of an annual and cumulative growth target will be distributed over the three-year period subsequent to the period that the award was earned, provided the employee remains in the employ of the Company or the Property Manager. Deferred Stock awarded to employees over the three-year period will be unrestricted.
The awards eligible to be earned in any given year will be earned only if the annual and cumulative adjusted FFO per share growth target for such year is reached. As defined, the adjusted FFO per share growth target from the current adjusted FFO base was $1.54 in 1995 and increases 7% for each year ending December 31, 1996 through 1998. The percentage of the total Deferred Stock award eligible to be earned upon attainment of these targets is 10% for 1994, 15% for 1995, 20% for 1996, 25% for 1997 and 30% for 1998. The following table provides the adjusted FFO target for award of the Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan.
Long-Term Incentive Deferred Stock Award Targets
Annual Cumulative
Year Ended Growth Growth Target FFO Per Share
December 31, Target From Plan Inception Growth Target
------------ ------- ------------------- -------------
1996 7.0% 16.8% $1.65
1997 7.0% 25.0% $1.77
1998 7.0% 33.7% $1.89
|
If the annual target is not met, the percentage of the award attributable to that annual target may be earned in a subsequent year if the cumulative growth target is met including the shortfall in the prior year(s). The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors has the right to make partial awards if targets are not met.
At December 31, 1995, approximately 2,672,300 shares of the total 3,100,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan were allocated among senior management and approximately 130 key employees in connection with the long-term incentive award. The remaining shares have been held for future allocations under the stock incentive plan to both current and future employees. The Compensation Committee has discretion to waive the additional three-year employment requirement upon certain terminations of employment (e.g., retirement, death, disability or termination without cause). The awards vest over a period of eight years, with the majority vesting in the fourth through eighth years after the IPO.
The OP did not meet the FFO growth target in 1995; accordingly, the financial statement reflects expense of $210 relating to the vested portion of the 70,696 shares under the Deferred Stock plan. The OP achieved its 1994 FFO target and accordingly expensed $3,848 relating to 245,200 shares awarded under the long-term incentive deferred stock plan and $210 relating to the 1994 vested portion of the Deferred Stock award.
Stock Option Plan:
The Company and the OP has a stock option plan in place covering each Director of the Company who is not otherwise an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Each such Director, upon joining the Company's Board of Directors, received an initial grant of Options to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock having an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock as of such date. Commencing on December 31, 1994, and on each December 31st thereafter, each Director also will automatically receive an annual grant of options to purchase 500 shares of Common Stock having an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant of such Option. The options can be exercised any time during the ten years after grant.
Note 13 - Gain on Sale of Assets
During 1995, the OP has recognized a $3,750 gain from the sale of a partnership interest in an undeveloped mall site located in Strongsville, Ohio, which was acquired in 1994 from the DeBartolo Group through the exercise of an option for $6,250 and immediately sold. The remaining gains primarily represent the sale of land adjacent to three properties.
Note 14 - Extraordinary Item
The extraordinary charge in 1995 resulted from prepayment penalties of $3,390 and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $7,877 related to the early retirement of mortgage notes payable. The extraordinary item in 1994 resulted from prepayment penalties and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the satisfaction of mortgage notes payable in connection with the OP's reorganization.
Note 15 - Contingent Liabilities
Certain of the properties are subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by insurance. Management of the properties believes the ultimate resolution of these matters is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Substantially all of the properties have been subjected to Phase I environmental audits. Such audits have not revealed nor is management aware of any environmental liability that management believes would have a material adverse impact on the OP's financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which it would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned.
Note 16 - Subsequent Events
The OP transferred ownership of one property to its lender, as of March 1, 1996, fully satisfying the property's mortgage note payable. This property no longer met the OP's criteria for its ongoing strategic plan. The OP will recognize an extraordinary gain on this transaction of approximately $8.0 million in the first quarter of 1996.
On January 31, 1996, the Property Manager was assigned a 33 % partnership interest in one of the nonconsolidated joint ventures and a 25% partnership interest in another nonconsolidated joint venture from an unrelated joint venture partner. As a result, the OP effectively owns 65% and 74% of these joint ventures.
Note 16.1-Event (Unaudited) Subsequent to Date of Independent Auditor's Report
The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 26, 1996 (the "Agreement"), among Simon Property Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("SPG"), its merger subsidiary and the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to merge with the merger subsidiary. The Agreement provides for the exchange of all outstanding Company common stock for SPG common stock, $0.0001 par value (the "SPG Common Stock"), at an exchange ratio of 0.68 shares of SPG Common Stock for each share of Company common stock. The merger is subject to the approval of shareholders of both SPG and the Company and other conditions. The new entity will be renamed Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc.

Note 18 - Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
As a result of the IPO and the related transactions entered into in
connection with the formation of the Company and the OP, 1994 historical results
of operations and earnings per unit may not be indicative of future results of
operations and earnings per share. This unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations assumed that the Company qualifies as a
real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes and also assumed
(i) completion of the asset contributions in the formation of the Company; (ii)
the completion of the IPO, including the exercise of the underwriters over-
allotment option and the Securitized Debt Financing; (iii) the completion of
debt exchange transactions with BJS Capital Partners, L.P. and MS Youngstown
General Partnership; (iv) the contribution by JCP Realty, Inc. and the EJDC
employees of their interests in certain DeBartolo Properties; and (v) the
completion of certain refinancings of mortgage indebtedness of the DeBartolo
Properties (collectively defined as the "REIT Formation") as of the beginning of
1994. In management's opinion, all necessary adjustments to reflect the effects
of these transactions have been made as of January 1, 1994.
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Operations is not necessarily indicative of what actual results of operations of the OP would have been assuming such transactions had been completed at January 1, 1994, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations of future periods.

DeBARTOLO REALTY PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
AND UNCOMBINED JOINT VENTURES OF DeBARTOLO RETAIL GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in Thousands)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership" or "OP") was formed as a Delaware limited partnership in 1993 in connection with DeBartolo Realty Corporation's (the "Company") initial public offering (the "IPO"). The OP owns 50% or less of twelve joint ventures and accounts for its investment in these joint ventures under the equity method. Prior to April 21, 1994, each of these joint ventures were owned 50% or less by The Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation ("EJDC") and certain affiliates.
The accompanying combined financial statements of the nonconsolidated joint ventures of DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P. and uncombined joint ventures of DeBartolo Retail Group consist of the assets, liabilities and results of operations identified with the joint ventures which are owned 50% or less by the OP.
The transaction relating to the acquisition of the investments in joint ventures is accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and accordingly the assets and liabilities of all combined joint ventures will be carried forward at historical cost.
In conjunction with the IPO, the OP received options to acquire the interests of the estate of Edward J. DeBartolo and other members of his family and affiliates in three nonconsolidated joint ventures. On July 1, 1995, the OP exercised these options and acquired a 12.8% interest in Miami International Mall, and 0.1% interests in Coral Square and Lakeland Square. The purchase price of approximately $6.7 million was payable in limited partnership interests in the OP.
The joint ventures included in these combined financial statements and the OP's and DeBartolo Retail Group's ownership interest in each are as follows:

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Investment Properties:
Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which in the opinion of management is not in excess of net realizable value. Costs incurred for the acquisition, development, construction and improvement of properties, including significant renovations, are capitalized. Interest costs and real estate taxes incurred with respect to qualified expenditures relating to the construction of assets are capitalized during the development period.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Depreciation and Amortization:
The cost of buildings, improvements and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, as follows:
Buildings _ 30 to 40 years
Improvements _ shorter of lease term or useful life
Equipment _ 3 to 10 years
Tenant allowances paid to tenants for construction are capitalized and amortized over the terms of each specific lease. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.
Deferred Charges:
Deferred charges consist principally of financing costs and leasing commissions which are amortized over the terms of the respective agreements.
Capitalized Interest:
Interest is capitalized on projects during the construction period. Interest capitalized was $708 in 1995, $798 from April 21, 1994 to December 31, 1994, and $24 for the period January 1, 1994 to April 20, 1994. No interest was capitalized during 1993.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less are
considered cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash:
Restricted cash is being restricted primarily for payment of expenditures for improvements relating to a shopping center.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate the carrying value due to the short term nature of these instruments.
The fair value of the fixed rate mortgages and notes payable is based on current rates available to the OP for debt of similar terms. Fair value of variable rate debt is considered to be the carrying amount.
Revenue Recognition:
Shopping center space is generally leased to specialty retail tenants under short and intermediate term leases which are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized on the straight-line method over the terms of leases. Percentage rents are recognized on an accrual basis as earned. Real estate tax and operating expense recoveries are recognized in the period the applicable costs are incurred.
Income Taxes:
The allocable share of the taxable income or loss of the joint ventures is includable in the income tax returns of the partners; accordingly, income taxes are not reflected in the combined financial statements.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Statement 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The OP will adopt Statement 121 in the first quarter of 1996 and, based on current circumstances, does not believe the effect of adoption will be material.

Note 6 - Rentals Under Operating Leases
The properties receive rental income from the leasing of retail shopping
center space under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2020.
Substantially all investment property is leased out under operating leases.
The minimum future rentals based on operating leases held are as follows as of
December 31, 1995:

(1) Represents stores whose parent company also owns units of the OP or stores whose chief executive officer's are on the Board of Directors of the Company.
Minimum future rentals do not include amounts which may be received under the terms of certain leases based upon a percentage of the tenants' sales or as reimbursement of shopping center expenses.
No single tenant or group of affiliated tenants collectively accounts for more than 10% of the combined properties total revenues which include minimum rents, tenant recoveries, percentage rents and other revenue. The tenant base includes national and regional retail chains and local retailers and consequently the combined properties credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry.
The revenues of the joint ventures may be adversely affected by the inability to collect rent due to bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise. At December 31, 1995, leases (excluding rejected leases) of mall store tenants of the joint ventures open and operating in bankruptcy comprise approximately 5.1% of mall gross leasable area ("GLA"). Annual rentals paid by these Mall Store tenants comprised 5.0% of minimum rents paid by mall store tenants. Substantially all of these tenants are currently meeting their contractual obligations. At the time a tenant files for bankruptcy protection it is difficult to determine to what extent these tenants will reject their leases or seek other concessions as a condition to continued occupancy. The OP expects certain of these tenants to reject their leases. Based on past experience, the OP has been able to offset, over a reasonable period of time, the impact on minimum rents caused by a tenant in bankruptcy.
Note 7 - Ground Leases
One joint venture, as lessee, has a ground lease expiring in 2012. Following is a schedule of future minimum rental payments required under this ground lease as of December 31, 1995:
1996 $ 120
1997 120
1998 120

Insurance: The joint ventures have first dollar commercial general liability coverage and special cause of loss property insurance with a $5 deductible. Prior to 1995 the joint ventures' insurance carrier reinsured certain coverages with an affiliate of EJDC. Charges to the joint ventures for the reinsured amounts totaled $936 from April 21, 1994 to December 31, 1994. Prior to April 21, 1994, the joint ventures had first dollar commercial general liability insurance of which an affiliated insurance company reinsured the first $250 per occurrence. Additionally, the joint ventures had "All Risk" Property insurance. The insurance company reinsured the first $95 per occurrence with an affiliate of EJDC. Charges for the reinsured amounts totaled $371 for the period January 1, 1994 to April 20, 1994 and $1,074 for 1993.
Affiliate Leases: On November 6, 1995, Fun-N-Games, an affiliate of EJDC which operated amusement centers in the joint venture properties, was sold to an independent third party operator who continues to operate these stores. The joint ventures recorded total revenues and operating expense reimbursements of $559 through November 6, 1995; $504 from April 21, 1994 to December 31, 1994; $254 for the period from January 1, 1994 to April 20, 1994 and $725 for 1993.
Affiliates of certain anchor tenants and small shops in various properties are partners in those properties or are partners in the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 1995, these tenants own or lease space in 10 properties. These properties recorded rental income and operating expense reimbursements of $3,451 in 1995; $3,223 from April 21, 1994 to December 31, 1994; $1,443 for the period January 1, 1994 to April 20, 1994 and $4,320 in 1993.
Affiliate Payables: At December 31, 1995, affiliate payables represent amounts due to the Property Manager for normal monthly operating costs and advances from DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P. Concurrent with the offering, net affiliate payables, which were primarily non-interest bearing, were distributed to EJDC. Interest expense including interest charged to properties by affiliates of venturers totaled $6,689 in 1995; $7,681 from April 21, 1994 to December 31, 1994; $1,976 for the period from January 1, 1994 to April 20, 1994 and $6,098 in 1993.
Note 9 - Contingent Liabilities
Certain of the properties are subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by insurance. Management of the properties believes the ultimate resolution of these matters is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the combined financial statements.
Substantially all of the properties have been subjected to Phase I environmental audits. Such audits have not revealed nor is management aware of any environmental liability that management believes would have a material adverse impact on the OP's financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which it would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned.
Note 10 - Extraordinary Item
The extraordinary charge in 1995 represents the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $425 relating to the partial paydown of mortgage debt of one property. The extraordinary charge in 1994 resulted from prepayment penalties and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the satisfaction of mortgage notes payable.
Note 11 - Subsequent Event
On January 31, 1996, the Property Manager was assigned a 33 % partnership interest in one of the nonconsolidated joint ventures and a 25% partnership interest in another nonconsolidated joint venture from an unrelated joint venture partner.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, this report has been signed below by the following persons on behalf of the Registrant and in the capacities and on the dates indicated.
