Under the IBCL, a director is not liable for any action taken as a director, or any failure to act, regardless of the nature of the alleged breach of duty (including alleged breaches of the duty of care, the duty of loyalty, and the duty of good faith) unless the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of the director&rsquo;s office and the breach or failure to perform constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness. This exculpation from liability under the IBCL does not affect the liability of directors for violations of the federal securities laws.</p>

Officers and directors may be indemnified where they have acted in good faith and, in the case of conduct in their official capacity, they reasonably believed the conduct was in the corporation&rsquo;s best interests, and in all other cases, they reasonably believed the conduct was not against the best interests of the corporation, and in the case of criminal proceedings they either had reasonable cause to believe the conduct was lawful or there was no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. Chapter&nbsp;37 of the IBCL also requires every Indiana corporation to indemnify any of its officers or directors (unless limited by the articles of incorporation of the corporation) who were wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any such proceeding against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.</p>

ITEM 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Under Chapter 35 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law (the "IBCL"), directors are required to discharge their duties in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances and in a manner that the directors reasonably believe to be in the best interests of the corporation. Under the IBCL, a director is not liable for any action taken as a director, or any failure to act, regardless of the nature of the alleged breach of duty (including alleged breaches of the duty of care, the duty of loyalty, and the duty of good faith) unless the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of the director's office and the breach or failure to perform constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness. This exculpation from liability under the IBCL does not affect the liability of directors for violations of the federal securities laws.
The Company's officers and directors are indemnified under Indiana law, the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles of Incorporation") and its Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the "Bylaws"), as well as the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, as amended (the "Partnership Agreement") of Washington Prime Group, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), against certain liabilities.
Chapter 37 of the Indiana Business Corporation law (the "IBCL") authorizes every Indiana corporation to indemnify its officers and directors, subject to the limitations and procedures therein, against liability for judgments, settlements, penalties, fines and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, to which the officers or directors are made a party by reason of their relationship to the corporation. Officers and directors may be indemnified where they have acted in good faith and, in the case of conduct in their official capacity, they reasonably believed the conduct was in the corporation's best interests, and in all other cases, they reasonably believed the conduct was not against the best interests of the corporation, and in the case of criminal proceedings they either had reasonable cause to believe the conduct was lawful or there was no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. Chapter 37 of the IBCL also requires every Indiana corporation to indemnify any of its officers or directors (unless limited by the articles of incorporation of the corporation) who were wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any such proceeding against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
An Indiana corporation may also pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by an officer or director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if such individual furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the required standard of conduct and a written undertaking to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet the required standard of conduct, and a determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under Chapter 37.
Chapter 37 of the IBCL states that the indemnification provided for therein is not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled under the articles of incorporation, bylaws or resolutions of the board of directors or shareholders.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for indemnification of its directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by the IBCL, as well as for advancement of expenses. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers providing such persons with indemnification, to the fullest extent permitted by the IBCL, as well as for advancement of expenses.
In addition, the Company has a directors' and officers' liability and company reimbursement policy that insures against certain liabilities, subject to applicable retentions.
The Partnership Agreement provides that the Operating Partnership is required to indemnify the Company and is also required to indemnify the Company's officers and directors to the same extent such individuals would be indemnified by the Company pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation; provided, however, that no partner of the Operating Partnership will have any personal liability with respect to such indemnification and any such indemnification is to be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Operating Partnership.

ITEM 9.
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;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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 that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
