 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Issuer executed and delivered its Indenture (the “Original Indenture”), dated as of July 28, 2006, to the Trustee to issue from time to time for its lawful purposes debt
securities evidencing its unsecured indebtedness. 
 WHEREAS, the Original Indenture provides that by means of a
supplemental indenture, the Issuer may create one or more series of its debt securities and establish the form and terms and conditions thereof. 
 WHEREAS, the Issuer intends by this Eighth Supplemental Indenture to (i) create a series of debt securities, in an initial aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000, entitled “Duke
Realty Limited Partnership 4.375% Senior Notes due 2022” (the “Notes”); and (ii) establish the form and the terms and conditions of such Notes. 
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Duke Realty Corporation, the general partner of the Issuer, acting through authority delegated to certain of its executive officers, has approved the creation of
the Notes and the form, terms and conditions thereof. 
 WHEREAS, the consent of Holders to the execution and delivery of
this Eighth Supplemental Indenture is not required, and all other actions required to be taken under the Original Indenture with respect to this Eighth Supplemental Indenture have been taken. 

NOW, THEREFORE IT IS AGREED: 
 ARTICLE ONE 
 Definitions, Creation, Form and Terms and Conditions of the
Debt Securities 
 SECTION 1.01. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Eighth Supplemental Indenture and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Indenture. In addition, the following terms shall have the following meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and the plural forms of the terms defined:

 “DTC” means The Depository Trust Company. 

“Global Note” means a single fully-registered global note in book-entry form, without coupons, substantially in the form
of Exhibit A attached hereto. 







 “Indenture” means the Original Indenture as supplemented by this Eighth
Supplemental Indenture. 
 “Make-Whole Amount” means, in connection with any optional redemption or accelerated
payment of any Note, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to
the date of redemption or accelerated payment) that would have been payable in respect of each such dollar if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a semi-annual basis, such principal and interest at
the Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed or paid. 
 “Notes” means the Issuer’s 4.375% Senior Notes due June 15, 2022, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

“Redemption Price” means the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Notes; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date is any time on or after March 15, 2022, the Redemption Price shall
mean the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 “Reinvestment Rate” means 0.45% plus the arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective heading “Week Ending” published in the most recent Statistical Release under the
caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the principal being redeemed or paid. If no maturity exactly corresponds to
such maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on
a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month. For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount
shall be used. 
 “Statistical Release” means the statistical release designated “H.15” or any
successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities, or, if such statistical release is not published at
the time of any determination under the Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated by the Issuer. 
 SECTION 1.02. Creation of the Debt Securities. In accordance with Section 301 of the Original Indenture, the Issuer hereby creates the Notes as a separate series of its debt securities issued
pursuant to the Indenture. The Notes shall be issued in an aggregate principal amount initially limited to $300,000,000. 







 The Issuer may issue, in addition to the Notes originally issued on the date hereof,
additional Notes. The Notes originally issued on the date hereof and any additional Notes originally issued subsequent to the date hereof shall be a single series for all purposes under the Original Indenture. 

SECTION 1.03. Form of the Debt Securities. The Notes will be represented by a single fully-registered global note in book-entry
form, without coupons, registered in the name of the nominee of DTC. The Notes shall be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Note, DTC or its nominee, as the case may
be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Note will be shown on, and transfers thereof will be effected only
through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) or by participants or persons that hold interests through participants (with respect to beneficial interests of beneficial owners). 

SECTION 1.04. Terms and Conditions of the Debt Securities. The Notes shall be governed by all the terms and conditions of the
Original Indenture, as supplemented and modified by this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, and in particular, the following provisions shall be terms of the Notes: 
 (a) Optional Redemption. The Issuer may redeem the Notes at any time at the option of the Issuer, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the Redemption Price.

 If notice has been given as provided in the Original Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for
redemption shall have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in such notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on the date fixed for such redemption specified in such notice and the only right of the Holders of the Notes will be
to receive payment of the Redemption Price. 
 Notice of any optional redemption of any Notes will be given to Holders at their
addresses, as shown in the Security Register, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The notice of redemption will specify, among other items, the Redemption Price and the principal amount of the Notes held by
such Holder to be redeemed. 
 If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at the option of the Issuer, the Issuer will notify
the Trustee at least 45 days prior to giving notice of redemption (or such shorter period as is satisfactory to the Trustee) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and their Redemption Date. The Trustee shall select, in such
manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part. 
 (b) Payment of Principal and
Interest. Principal and interest payments on interests represented by a Global Note will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of such Global Note. All payments of principal and interest in respect of the
Notes will be made by the Issuer in immediately available funds. 







 (c) Applicability of Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The provisions of Article 14
of the Original Indenture shall apply to the Notes. 
 (d) Definition of Total Unencumbered Assets. For purposes of the
covenant entitled “Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets” in Section 1005 of the Original Indenture, the term “Total Unencumbered Assets” shall be defined, solely with respect to the Notes, as follows: 

“Total Unencumbered Assets” means the sum of (i) those Undepreciated Real Estate Assets not subject to an encumbrance and
(ii) all other assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries not subject to an encumbrance determined in accordance with GAAP (but excluding intangibles and accounts receivable); provided, however, that all investments by the Issuer and its
Subsidiaries in unconsolidated joint ventures, unconsolidated limited partnerships, unconsolidated limited liability companies and other unconsolidated entities shall be excluded from the calculation of Total Unencumbered Assets to the extent that
such investments would have otherwise been included. 
 ARTICLE TWO

sufficiency of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture or the due execution thereof by the Issuer. The recitals of fact contained herein shall be taken as the statements solely of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness
thereof. 
 ARTICLE THREE 
 Miscellaneous Provisions 
 SECTION 3.01. Ratification of Original
Indenture. This Eighth Supplemental Indenture is executed and shall be construed as an indenture supplemental to the Original Indenture, and as supplemented and modified hereby, the Original Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed,
and the Original Indenture and this Eighth Supplemental Indenture shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent any provision of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture
is inconsistent with any provision of the Original Indenture, the terms of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture shall govern and apply to the Notes. 
 SECTION 3.02. Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 

SECTION 3.03. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Eighth Supplemental Indenture by the Issuer shall bind

thereby. 
 SECTION 3.05. Governing Law. This Eighth Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This Eighth Supplemental Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, that are required to be part of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture and shall, to the
extent applicable, be governed by such provisions. 
 SECTION 3.06. Counterparts. This Eighth Supplemental Indenture may
be executed in any number of counterparts, and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 







 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Eighth Supplemental Indenture
to be duly executed, and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as of the date first above written.

 DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 

4.375% Senior Notes due 2022 
 Duke Realty Limited Partnership, an Indiana limited partnership (the “Issuer,” which term includes any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises
to pay to Cede & Co. or its registered assigns, the principal sum of Three Hundred Million Dollars on June 15, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon from June 11, 2012 (or from the most recent interest
payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for) in U.S. dollars semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, each, an “Interest Payment Date”, commencing on December 15, 2012, and on
the Maturity Date, at the rate of 4.375% per annum, until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly provided for. 







 The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment
Date and on the Maturity Date will be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the “Record Date” for such payment, which will be 15 days (regardless of whether
such day is a Business Day (as defined below)) prior to such payment date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Any interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Record Date, and
shall be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a subsequent Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest (which shall be not less than five Business Days (as
defined below) prior to the date of the payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of the Notes not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent Record Date. Interest on this
Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 The principal of this Note payable on the
Maturity Date will be paid against presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. The Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee in the City of New York as the office to be maintained by it where Notes may be presented for payment, registration of transfer, or exchange and where notices or demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes or
the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof may be served. 
 Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date and
on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, will be the amount of interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or from and including June 11, 2012) in the case of the initial Interest Payment Date) to but
excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), the required payment of interest or principal or
both, as the case may be, will be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if it were made on the date such payment was due and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, on which banking institutions in The City of New York are open for business. 

Payments of principal and interest in respect of this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. 

Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof. Such further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place. 
 This Note shall not be entitled to the benefits of the
Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof or be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee under such Indenture. 







 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this instrument to be signed manually or by
facsimile by its authorized officers.

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 

DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 
 4.375% Senior Notes due 2022 
 This security is one of a duly authorized
issue of debentures, notes, bonds, or other evidences of indebtedness of the Issuer (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of
July 28, 2006 (hereinafter called the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association), as Trustee
(hereinafter called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
relating to this security reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer, and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at
different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto. This security is one of a series designated as the 4.375% Senior Notes due
June 15, 2022 of the Issuer, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000. 
 In case an Event of
Default with respect to this security shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof and Make-Whole Amount, if any, may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect, and subject to
the conditions provided in the Indenture. 
 The Issuer may redeem this security at any time at the option of the Issuer, in
whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of this security being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
with respect to this security (the “Redemption Price”); provided, however, that if the Redemption Date is any time on or after March 15, 2022, the Redemption Price shall mean the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. Notice of any optional redemption of any Securities will be given to Holders at their addresses, as shown in the Security Register, not more than 60 days nor less than 30
days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The notice of redemption will specify, among other items, the Redemption Price and the principal amount of the Securities held by such Holder to be redeemed. 

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of
the aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding of all series to be affected (voting as one class), evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall,
without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or any installment of principal 







 
of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate or amount of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or adversely affect any right
of repayment at the option of the Holder of any Security, or change any Place of Payment where, or the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which, any Security or any premium or the interest thereon
is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such
supplemental indenture, or (iii) reduce the percentage of Securities, the Holders of which are required to consent to any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or any waiver of certain defaults thereunder. It is also
provided in the Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Securities of such series (or, in the case of
certain defaults or Events of Default, all series of Securities) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series (or all of the Securities, as the case may be) waive any such past default or Event of Default and its consequences,
prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such Securities, or, subject to certain conditions, may rescind a declaration of acceleration and its consequences with respect to such Securities. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of the security and any securities that may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor,
irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this security or such other securities. 
 No reference herein
to the Indenture and no provision of this security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any Make-Whole Amount and interest on this security in the
manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. 
 This security is issuable only in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Securities may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of securities of this series of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of
the Issuer in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection
therewith. 
 Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of Securities at the office or agency of the Issuer in The
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, one or more new Securities of the same series of authorized denominations in an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided
in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. 
 The Issuer,
the Trustee or any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this security is registered as the absolute owner of this security (whether or not this security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any
notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all other
purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 The Indenture and each Security shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such state, except as may
otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law. 







 Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined shall have the respective
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto relating to this security.
