On August 17, 2006, Duke Realty Corporation, an Indiana corporation (“Duke”), and Duke Realty Limited Partnership, an Indiana limited partnership (the “Partnership”) of which Duke is the sole General Partner, entered into a Terms Agreement (including the related Underwriting Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2006, attached as Annex A thereto and made a part thereof, the “Terms Agreement”) with the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Underwriters agreed to purchase from the Partnership $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Partnership’s 5.625% Senior Notes Due 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) and $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Partnership’s 5.95% Senior Notes Due 2017 (the “2017 Notes,” and, together with the 2011 Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Duke’s and the Partnership’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-136173) (as the same may be amended and/or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
