Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Duke Realty, as amended (the &#147;Articles of Incorporation&#148;) and the partnership agreements, as amended, of Duke Realty Limited Partnership (the &#147;Operating Partnership&#148;) and Duke
Realty Services Limited Partnership against certain liabilities. Chapter 37 of The Indiana Business Corporation Law (the &#147;IBCL&#148;) requires a corporation, unless its articles of incorporation provide otherwise, to indemnify a director or an
officer of the corporation who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or
informal, against reasonable expenses, including counsel fees, incurred in connection with the proceeding. Duke Realty&#146;s Articles of Incorporation do not contain any provision prohibiting or otherwise limiting such indemnification. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The IBCL also permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent who is made a party to a proceeding because the person
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against liability incurred in the proceeding if (i)&nbsp;the individual&#146;s conduct was in good faith and (ii)&nbsp;the individual reasonably believed (A)&nbsp;in the case of conduct
in the individual&#146;s official capacity with the corporation that the conduct was in the corporation&#146;s best interests and (B)&nbsp;in all other cases that the individual&#146;s conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best
interests and (iii)&nbsp;in the case of a criminal proceeding, the individual either (A)&nbsp;had reasonable cause to believe the individual&#146;s conduct was lawful or (B)&nbsp;had no reasonable cause to believe the individual&#146;s conduct was
unlawful. The IBCL also permits a corporation to pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred before the final disposition of the proceeding and permits a court of competent jurisdiction to order a corporation to indemnify a director or officer
if the court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the person met the standards for indemnification otherwise provided in the IBCL. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Duke Realty&#146;s Articles of Incorporation provide for certain additional limitations of liability and indemnification. Section&nbsp;13.01
of the Articles of Incorporation provides that a director shall not be personally liable to Duke Realty or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to Duke Realty or its shareholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;for voting for or assenting to an unlawful
distribution, or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Section&nbsp;13.02 of the Articles of Incorporation generally provides that any director or officer of Duke Realty or any person who is
serving at the request of Duke Realty as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity shall be indemnified and held harmless by Duke Realty to the fullest extent authorized by the IBCL against all expense, liability and loss (including
attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines, certain employee benefits excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered in connection with a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action,
suit or proceeding to which such person is a party by reason of the person&#146;s service with or at the request of Duke Realty. Section&nbsp;13.02 of the Articles of Incorporation also provides such persons with certain rights to be paid by Duke
Realty for the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of the final disposition and the right to enforce indemnification claims against Duke Realty by bringing suit against Duke Realty. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Duke Realty&#146;s Articles of Incorporation authorize Duke Realty to maintain insurance to protect itself and any director, officer, employee
or agent of Duke Realty or of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expense, liability or loss, whether or not Duke Realty would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or
loss under the IBCL. Duke Realty currently maintains officer and director liability insurance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each of the partnership agreements, as
amended, for the Operating Partnership and Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership also provides for indemnification of Duke Realty and its officers and directors to substantially the same extent provided to officers and directors of Duke Realty in
its Articles of Incorporation and limits the liability of Duke Realty and its officers and directors to the Operating Partnership and its partners and to Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership and its partners, respectively, to substantially the
same extent limited under Duke Realty&#146;s Articles of Incorporation. </P>

Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Duke Realty&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report
pursuant to Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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

liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Duke Realty pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Duke Realty has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Duke Realty
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Duke Realty 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, Duke Realty 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Duke Realty is an Indiana corporation. Duke Realty's officers and directors are and will be indemnified under Indiana law, the Sixth
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Duke Realty, as amended (the "Articles of Incorporation") and the partnership agreements, as amended, of Duke Realty Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") and Duke
Realty Services Limited Partnership against certain liabilities. Chapter 37 of The Indiana Business Corporation Law (the "IBCL") requires a corporation, unless its articles of incorporation provide otherwise, to indemnify a director or an
officer of the corporation who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or
informal, against reasonable expenses, including counsel fees, incurred in connection with the proceeding. Duke Realty's Articles of Incorporation do not contain any provision prohibiting or otherwise limiting such indemnification.
The IBCL also permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent who is made a party to a proceeding because the person
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against liability incurred in the proceeding if (i) the individual's conduct was in good faith and (ii) the individual reasonably believed (A) in the case of conduct
in the individual's official capacity with the corporation that the conduct was in the corporation's best interests and (B) in all other cases that the individual's conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best
interests and (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the individual either (A) had reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was lawful or (B) had no reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was
unlawful. The IBCL also permits a corporation to pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred before the final disposition of the proceeding and permits a court of competent jurisdiction to order a corporation to indemnify a director or officer
if the court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the person met the standards for indemnification otherwise provided in the IBCL.
Duke Realty's Articles of Incorporation provide for certain additional limitations of liability and indemnification. Section 13.01
of the Articles of Incorporation provides that a director shall not be personally liable to Duke Realty or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to Duke Realty or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for voting for or assenting to an unlawful
distribution, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Section 13.02 of the Articles of Incorporation generally provides that any director or officer of Duke Realty or any person who is
serving at the request of Duke Realty as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity shall be indemnified and held harmless by Duke Realty to the fullest extent authorized by the IBCL against all expense, liability and loss (including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, certain employee benefits excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered in connection with a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action,
suit or proceeding to which such person is a party by reason of the person's service with or at the request of Duke Realty. Section 13.02 of the Articles of Incorporation also provides such persons with certain rights to be paid by Duke
Realty for the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of the final disposition and the right to enforce indemnification claims against Duke Realty by bringing suit against Duke Realty.
Duke Realty's Articles of Incorporation authorize Duke Realty to maintain insurance to protect itself and any director, officer, employee
or agent of Duke Realty or of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expense, liability or loss, whether or not Duke Realty would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or
loss under the IBCL. Duke Realty currently maintains officer and director liability insurance.
Each of the partnership agreements, as
amended, for the Operating Partnership and Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership also provides for indemnification of Duke Realty and its officers and directors to substantially the same extent provided to officers and directors of Duke Realty in
its Articles of Incorporation and limits the liability of Duke Realty and its officers and directors to the Operating Partnership and its partners and to Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership and its partners, respectively, to substantially the
same extent limited under Duke Realty's Articles of Incorporation.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index, which is incorporated here by this reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The
undersigned Company 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;
(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 this Registration Statement.
(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 this Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 and 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 Duke Realty 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 Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Duke Realty's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 directors, officers and controlling persons of Duke Realty pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Duke Realty has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Duke Realty
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Duke Realty 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, Duke Realty 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, Duke Realty certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Indianapolis, State of Indiana, on July 31, 2015.
