Partner, entered into a Terms Agreement (including the related Underwriting Agreement, dated as of January&nbsp;10, 2013, attached as Annex A thereto and made a part thereof, the &#147;Terms Agreement&#148;) with each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC,
RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, on behalf of the underwriters named therein (the &#147;Underwriters&#148;), pursuant to which the Underwriters agreed to purchase from the Operating Partnership $250 million aggregate
principal amount of the Operating Partnership&#146;s 3.875% Senior Notes Due 2021 (the &#147;Notes&#148;). The Terms Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Operating Partnership&#146;s and the Company&#146;s combined Current Report on
Form 8-K filed on November&nbsp;26, 2013. The issuance and sale of the Notes was completed on December&nbsp;3, 2013. The Operating Partnership intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes, together with cash on hand, to
redeem all $250 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 5.40% Senior Notes due August&nbsp;15, 2014 at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date
plus the make-whole amount. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes were issued under the Indenture, dated as of July&nbsp;28, 2006 (the &#147;Indenture&#148;), as

Statement&#148;), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;). The material terms of the Notes are described in the Operating Partnership&#146;s final prospectus supplement, as filed with the Commission on
November&nbsp;26, 2013 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the Securities Act, which relates to the offer and sale of the Notes and supplements the Operating Partnership&#146;s prospectus, as filed with the Commission on April&nbsp;30, 2012, contained in

Item 1.01.
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported, on
November 25, 2013, Duke Realty Corporation, an Indiana corporation (the "Company"), and Duke Realty Limited Partnership, an Indiana limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership") of which the Company is the sole General
Partner, entered into a Terms Agreement (including the related Underwriting Agreement, dated as of January 10, 2013, attached as Annex A thereto and made a part thereof, the "Terms Agreement") with each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC,
RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, on behalf of the underwriters named therein (the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which the Underwriters agreed to purchase from the Operating Partnership $250 million aggregate
principal amount of the Operating Partnership's 3.875% Senior Notes Due 2021 (the "Notes"). The Terms Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Operating Partnership's and the Company's combined Current Report on
Form 8-K filed on November 26, 2013. The issuance and sale of the Notes was completed on December 3, 2013. The Operating Partnership intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes, together with cash on hand, to
redeem all $250 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 5.40% Senior Notes due August 15, 2014 at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date
plus the make-whole amount.
The Notes were issued under the Indenture, dated as of July 28, 2006 (the "Indenture"), as
supplemented by the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 3, 2013 (the "Supplemental Indenture"), by and between the Operating Partnership and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to J.P.
Morgan Trust Company, National Association), as trustee (the "Trustee").
The Notes were registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Operating Partnership's automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-181030-01) (as the same may be amended or supplemented, the "Registration
Statement"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The material terms of the Notes are described in the Operating Partnership's final prospectus supplement, as filed with the Commission on
November 26, 2013 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the Securities Act, which relates to the offer and sale of the Notes and supplements the Operating Partnership's prospectus, as filed with the Commission on April 30, 2012, contained in
the Registration Statement.
A copy of the Supplemental Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this
"Report"), and the information in the Supplemental Indenture is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by this reference. The Indenture was previously filed with the Commission on July 31, 2006 as Exhibit 4.1 to the Operating
Partnership's prior registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-136173-01). The above description of the terms of the Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture.
