<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following description of the Deferred Compensation Obligations is qualified by
reference to the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Item&nbsp;4 and not otherwise defined in this
Registration Statement shall have the respective meanings attributed to such terms in the Plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Plan provides designated management employees of the Plan Sponsor (the &#147;Participants&#148;)
the opportunity to defer a portion of their pre-tax compensation (including salary and bonuses)
under the Plan. The Plan Sponsor may also make discretionary contributions to Participants
under the Plan. The amounts deferred under the Plan represent an obligation of the Partnership
to make payments to the Participants at some time in the future, in an amount equal to: (1)
deferral contributions or compensation which the Participants have elected to defer under the
terms of the Plan, (2)&nbsp;Plan Sponsor discretionary contributions and (3)&nbsp;gains or losses on the
foregoing amounts based on a notional investment measurement, all of which is reflected in the
individual accounts maintained for each of the Participants (the &#147;Obligations&#148;). The amounts
deferred (plus any discretionary contributions) will be indexed to one or more investment
alternatives individually chosen by the participant from a list determined by the compensation
committee of the board of directors of the Partnership&#146;s general partner, Arden Realty, Inc.
(the &#147;Company&#148;), which list may change from time to time. The investment alternatives selected
by a Participant will be used to measure the return on his or her Plan accounts. The investment
alternatives will be used only for the purpose of calculating hypothetical returns, and the
amounts in Participants&#146; accounts will not actually be invested in the selected investment
alternatives.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Participant is an unsecured general creditor of the Plan Sponsor concerning his or her
own Plan benefits. Benefits are payable solely from the Plan Sponsor&#146;s general assets, and will
rank equally with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Plan Sponsor from time
to time outstanding, payable from the general assets of the Plan Sponsor. The Plan Sponsor has
or will set up a trust to serve as a source of funds from which the Plan Sponsor can satisfy the
Obligations. Participants in the Plan will have no rights to any assets held by the trust,
except as general creditors of the Plan Sponsor. Assets of the trust will at all times be
subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Plan Sponsor.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon a Participant&#146;s termination of employment for cause, the Obligations to such
Participant shall cease to exist. Otherwise, all Participants are immediately vested in
elective deferrals made to their accounts, and each Participant is fully vested in Plan Sponsor
discretionary contributions after the completion of seven years of employment with the Plan
Sponsor, or earlier in the event of the Participant&#146;s death or Disability, or in the event of a
Change in Control. Any employment by the Plan Sponsor which precedes a break in service of at
least twelve months is ignored for the purposes of vesting.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The vested portion of the Obligations will become due on an in-service distribution date
elected by the Participant at the time of deferral, or upon the Participant&#146;s Disability,
attainment of retirement age, death, termination of employment (other than for cause) or a
Change in Control of the Plan Sponsor in the form and on the date or dates determined in
accordance with the Plan. Such payments are generally payable to Participants within 30&nbsp;days
after the distribution event. However, Participants can elect to receive annual installments of
payments made on account of retirement or disability over a period of five or ten years.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Obligations cannot be assigned transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the
Participants, except that each Participant may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive
benefits upon the Participant&#146;s death. The Obligations are not convertible into any other
security of the Partnership and there is no trading market for the Obligations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The compensation committee of the Company&#146;s board of directors reserves the right to amend,
alter or discontinue the Plan, provided that such amendment does not deprive the Participant of
any portion of any benefit that would have been payable had the Participant&#146;s employment ended
on the effective date of such amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan may be amended
at any time and in any manner to the extent the compensation committee of the Company&#146;s board of
directors determines such amendment is necessary to preserve the status of the Plan under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, or any other applicable law.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;5-418 of the Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article of the Maryland Code permits a
Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its
directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for
liability resulting from (a)&nbsp;actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property
or services or (b)&nbsp;active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and material
to the cause of action. The Company&#146;s charter contains a provision which eliminates that kind
of liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The charter authorizes the Company, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to
obligate itself to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final
disposition of a proceeding to:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;any present or former director or officer who is made a party to a proceeding by reason
of his service in that capacity; or



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;any individual who, while a director of and at the request of the Company, serves or
has served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee of that corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise from and against any claim or
liability which those persons may incur by reason of their status as a present or former
director or officer

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">of the Company.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bylaws obligate the Company, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to
indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;any present or former director or officer who is made a party to the proceeding by
reason of his service in that capacity; or



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;any individual who, while a director and at the request of the Company, serves or has
served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee of that corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and who is made a party to the
proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The charter and the bylaws also permit the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to any
person who served a predecessor of the Company in any of the capacities described above and to
any employee or agent of the Company or a predecessor of the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Maryland General Corporation Law requires a corporation, unless its charter provides
otherwise which the Company&#146;s does not, to indemnify a director or officer who has been
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he is made a
party by reason of his service in that capacity. A Maryland corporation is permitted to
indemnify its present and former 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:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise
to the proceeding and (i)&nbsp;was committed in bad faith or (ii)&nbsp;was the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty;



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money,
property or services; or



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to
believe that the act or omission was unlawful.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A Maryland corporation, however, may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or
in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal
benefit was improperly received, unless, in either case, a court orders indemnification and then
only for expenses. A Maryland corporation is permitted to advance reasonable expenses to a
director or officer upon receipt by the corporation of (a)&nbsp;a written affirmation by the director
or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification and (b)&nbsp;a written undertaking by him or on his behalf to repay the amount paid
or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The operating partnership agreement also provides for indemnification and advance of
expenses of the Company and its officers and directors similar to the indemnification and
advance of expenses provided to officers and directors of the Company in its charter and bylaws,
and provides that the Company will not be liable to the operating partnership and its partners
if it acted in good faith.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
we have been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and therefore is unenforceable.

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference
.
The following documents which were filed with the Commission by the Partnership are
incorporated by reference into this registration statement:
(a) Annual report of the Partnership on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2004, filed with the Commission on March 14, 2005, as amended on Form 10-K/A filed with the
Commission on April 14, 2005;
(b) Quarterly report of the Partnership on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005,

(c) Current reports of the Partnership on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on February
18, 2005, February 22, 2005, February 24, 2005, March 1, 2005 and May 24, 2005.
All documents subsequently filed by the Partnership pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and prior to the termination of the
offering of the securities offered hereby shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into
this registration statement and to be a part hereof from the respective dates of filing of such
documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this registration
statement to the extent that a statement contained herein, or in any other subsequently filed
document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein, modifies or
supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,
except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement. A
current report on Form 8-K that is furnished to the Commission shall not be deemed incorporated
by reference into this Registration Statement.
Item 4.
Description of Securities
.
The following description of the Deferred Compensation Obligations is qualified by
reference to the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Item 4 and not otherwise defined in this
Registration Statement shall have the respective meanings attributed to such terms in the Plan.
The Plan provides designated management employees of the Plan Sponsor (the "Participants")
the opportunity to defer a portion of their pre-tax compensation (including salary and bonuses)
under the Plan. The Plan Sponsor may also make discretionary contributions to Participants
under the Plan. The amounts deferred under the Plan represent an obligation of the Partnership
to make payments to the Participants at some time in the future, in an amount equal to: (1)
deferral contributions or compensation which the Participants have elected to defer under the
terms of the Plan, (2) Plan Sponsor discretionary contributions and (3) gains or losses on the
foregoing amounts based on a notional investment measurement, all of which is reflected in the
individual accounts maintained for each of the Participants (the "Obligations"). The amounts
deferred (plus any discretionary contributions) will be indexed to one or more investment
alternatives individually chosen by the participant from a list determined by the compensation
committee of the board of directors of the Partnership's general partner, Arden Realty, Inc.
(the "Company"), which list may change from time to time. The investment alternatives selected
by a Participant will be used to measure the return on his or her Plan accounts. The investment
alternatives will be used only for the purpose of calculating hypothetical returns, and the
amounts in Participants' accounts will not actually be invested in the selected investment
alternatives.
2
Table of Contents
Each Participant is an unsecured general creditor of the Plan Sponsor concerning his or her
own Plan benefits. Benefits are payable solely from the Plan Sponsor's general assets, and will
rank equally with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Plan Sponsor from time
to time outstanding, payable from the general assets of the Plan Sponsor. The Plan Sponsor has
or will set up a trust to serve as a source of funds from which the Plan Sponsor can satisfy the
Obligations. Participants in the Plan will have no rights to any assets held by the trust,
except as general creditors of the Plan Sponsor. Assets of the trust will at all times be
subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Plan Sponsor.
Upon a Participant's termination of employment for cause, the Obligations to such
Participant shall cease to exist. Otherwise, all Participants are immediately vested in
elective deferrals made to their accounts, and each Participant is fully vested in Plan Sponsor
discretionary contributions after the completion of seven years of employment with the Plan
Sponsor, or earlier in the event of the Participant's death or Disability, or in the event of a
Change in Control. Any employment by the Plan Sponsor which precedes a break in service of at
least twelve months is ignored for the purposes of vesting.
The vested portion of the Obligations will become due on an in-service distribution date
elected by the Participant at the time of deferral, or upon the Participant's Disability,
attainment of retirement age, death, termination of employment (other than for cause) or a
Change in Control of the Plan Sponsor in the form and on the date or dates determined in
accordance with the Plan. Such payments are generally payable to Participants within 30 days
after the distribution event. However, Participants can elect to receive annual installments of
payments made on account of retirement or disability over a period of five or ten years.
The Obligations cannot be assigned transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the
Participants, except that each Participant may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive
benefits upon the Participant's death. The Obligations are not convertible into any other
security of the Partnership and there is no trading market for the Obligations.
The compensation committee of the Company's board of directors reserves the right to amend,
alter or discontinue the Plan, provided that such amendment does not deprive the Participant of
any portion of any benefit that would have been payable had the Participant's employment ended
on the effective date of such amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan may be amended
at any time and in any manner to the extent the compensation committee of the Company's board of
directors determines such amendment is necessary to preserve the status of the Plan under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, or any other applicable law.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
.
Not Applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Section 5-418 of the Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article of the Maryland Code permits a
Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its
directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for
liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property
or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and material
to the cause of action. The Company's charter contains a provision which eliminates that kind
of liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.
The charter authorizes the Company, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to
obligate itself to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final
disposition of a proceeding to:
(a) any present or former director or officer who is made a party to a proceeding by reason
of his service in that capacity; or
(b) any individual who, while a director of and at the request of the Company, serves or
has served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee of that corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise from and against any claim or
liability which those persons may incur by reason of their status as a present or former
director or officer

Table of Contents
of the Company.
The bylaws obligate the Company, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to
indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to:
(a) any present or former director or officer who is made a party to the proceeding by
reason of his service in that capacity; or
(b) any individual who, while a director and at the request of the Company, serves or has
served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee of that corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and who is made a party to the
proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity.
The charter and the bylaws also permit the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to any
person who served a predecessor of the Company in any of the capacities described above and to
any employee or agent of the Company or a predecessor of the Company.
The Maryland General Corporation Law requires a corporation, unless its charter provides
otherwise which the Company's does not, to indemnify a director or officer who has been
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he is made a
party by reason of his service in that capacity. A Maryland corporation is permitted to
indemnify its present and former 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:
(a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise
to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty;
(b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money,
property or services; or
(c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to
believe that the act or omission was unlawful.
A Maryland corporation, however, may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or
in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal
benefit was improperly received, unless, in either case, a court orders indemnification and then
only for expenses. A Maryland corporation is permitted to advance reasonable expenses to a
director or officer upon receipt by the corporation of (a) a written affirmation by the director
or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification and (b) a written undertaking by him or on his behalf to repay the amount paid
or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
The operating partnership agreement also provides for indemnification and advance of
expenses of the Company and its officers and directors similar to the indemnification and
advance of expenses provided to officers and directors of the Company in its charter and bylaws,
and provides that the Company will not be liable to the operating partnership and its partners
if it acted in good faith.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
we have been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and therefore is unenforceable.

Table of Contents
(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 the
"Securities Act");
(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;
(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 to information
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Partnership
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in this 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 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 of 1933 may
be permitted to officers, directors, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to
the registrant's certificate of incorporation or by-laws, 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 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.
