ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
     The Partnership Agreement of each of the Operating Partnership and SPG, LP
contains provisions indemnifying their respective general partners' officers and
directors against certain liabilities. Each such Partnership Agreement provides
for indemnification of such general partners and their 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 such general partners and
their officers and directors to the Operating Partnership or SPG, LP and their
respective 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 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
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>   3
 
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) Each of the undersigned registrants 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
 
                                      II-2
<PAGE>   4
 
     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) Each of the undersigned registrants 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 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 registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of such 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, such 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) Each of the undersigned registrants 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) Each of the undersigned registrants 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.

We, the undersigned directors, attest to the correctness of this Report of

        THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the 13th day of November, 1996, by and
between SIMON DeBARTOLO GROUP, INC., a Maryland corporation having its principal
office at National City Center, 115 West Washington Street, Indianapolis,
Indiana 46204 (the "Company"), and SIMON DeBARTOLO GROUP, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership having its principal office at National City Center, 115
West Washington Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 (the "Partnership").


                              W I T N E S S E T H:

        The Company is the Non-Managing General Partner of the Partnership
under and pursuant to the terms of the Fifth Amended and Restated Limited
Partnership Agreement of the Partnership dated August 9, 1996 (the "Partnership
Agreement").  Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement shall
have the meanings given such terms in the Partnership Agreement.

        Under the terms of Article 11 of the Partnership Agreement, each
Limited Partner of the Partnership has the right, subject to certain conditions
set forth therein, to exchange its Partnership Units for cash or Shares, as
selected by the Company as Non-Managing General Partner.  If in any instance
the Company selects Shares, the Company becomes obligated to acquire the
Partnership Units in question in exchange for the issuance by it to the Limited
Partner which owns such Units of Shares equal in number to the number of Units
being so exchanged (subject to certain adjustments provided for in said Article
11).  If in any instance the Company selects cash, the Company becomes
obligated to cause the Partnership to redeem the Partnership Units in question
for a cash payment in the amount provided for in said Article 11.

        By virtue of the above-described arrangement, the Company can impose
meaningful financial obligations on the Partnership by electing that
Partnership Units tendered for exchange by Limited Partners pursuant to Article
11 of the Partnership Agreement be redeemed by the Partnership for cash, in
lieu of being exchanged for Shares.  In order to insure that the Partnership
will have funds to meet such obligations, the Company has agreed to enter into
this Agreement.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for good and
valuable consideration paid to the Company, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees to and with the
Partnership as follows:

        1.      The Company hereby agrees that the only manner in which it may
hereafter elect to cause the Partnership redeem for cash any Partnership Units
tendered for exchange pursuant to Article 11 of the Partnership Agreement,
rather than electing to acquire such Partnership Units in exchange for Shares
in accordance with said Article 11, is by contributing to the capital of the
Partnership, in exchange for Additional Units, on or prior to the date of the
closing established pursuant to said Article 11 for the exchange or redemption
of such tendered Partnership Units, an amount in immediately available funds
sufficient to enable the Partnership to effectuate such redemption.

<PAGE>   2

        2.      The Company hereby further agrees that if on the date of any
closing established pursuant to Article 11 of the Partnership Agreement, the
Company shall not have made the capital contribution provided for in paragraph I
above, it shall, as result, conclusively be deemed to have elected to acquire
the tendered Partnership Units for Shares and shall be obligated at such closing
to issue its Shares to the tendering Limited Partner, in the quantity
established pursuant to said Article 11, in exchange for such Partnership Units.

        3.      The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by
the laws of the State of Delaware.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as
of the day and year first above written.

                                        SIMON DeBARTOLO GROUP, INC.
