Acquisition, L.P. ("Head Acquisition LP"), a Delaware limited partnership, Urban
Shopping Centers, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership ("Urban LP"), and JMB
Insurance Agency Co., an Illinois corporation ("JMB Insurance"). All capitalized
terms used herein without specific definition shall be as defined in the Merger
Agreement (as defined below).

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of September 25, 2000, by and among Rodamco North America, N.V., a
company organized under the laws of the Netherlands, Hexalon Real Estate, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation, Head Acquisition LP, Head Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation ("Head Acquisition Corp."), Urban Shopping Centers, Inc., a Maryland
corporation ("Urban"), and Urban LP (the "Merger Agreement"), either (i) Head
Acquisition LP is merging with Urban or (ii) Head Acquisition Corp is merging
with Urban and the successor is then merging with Head Acquisition LP,
resulting, in either case, in Head Acquisition LP becoming the sole general
partner of Urban LP; and

         WHEREAS, JMB Insurance currently provides insurance services to Urban
LP and its various affiliated entities;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and the
premises set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do
hereby agree as follows:

         Section 1. ENGAGEMENT OF JMB INSURANCE. Each of Head Acquisition LP and
Urban LP agrees that, subject to any contractual commitments of Urban, Urban LP
and any of their respective subsidiaries on the date of the Merger Agreement, it
will, and will cause each of its subsidiaries to, for a period ending five years
following the Effective Time, offer to JMB Insurance the right to provide all
property casualty insurance brokerage for Urban LP and its subsidiaries, such
brokerage to be provided on terms which are no less favorable than would be
obtained from an unaffiliated third party with financially stable insurance
carriers having adequate capacity for the risks covered.

Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally,
