irrevocably guaranties to the Lender, the punctual payment and performance when due, whether at
stated maturity or by acceleration or otherwise, of the indebtedness and other obligations of the
Borrower to the Lender evidenced by the Note and any other amounts that may become owing by the

2. Representations and Warranties. The following shall constitute representations and
warranties of the Guarantor, and the Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the Lender intends to make
the Loan in reliance thereon:




(a) Guarantor is not in default, and no event has occurred which, with the passage of
time and/or the giving of notice, would constitute a default, under any agreement to which
the Guarantor is a party, the effect of which will impair performance by the Guarantor of
its obligations under this Guaranty. Neither the execution and delivery of this Guaranty
nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will violate any applicable law, rule,
regulation, judgment, decree or order, or will conflict with or result in any breach of any
of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of any indenture, deed of trust,
instrument, document, agreement or contract of any kind that creates, represents, evidences
or provides for any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the
Guarantor, or any other indenture, deed of trust, instrument, document, agreement or
contract of any kind to which the Guarantor is a party or to which the Guarantor or the
property of the Guarantor may be subject.




(b) There is not any litigation, arbitration, governmental or administrative
proceedings, actions, examinations, claims or demands pending, or to the knowledge of the
Guarantor, threatened that could adversely affect performance by the Guarantor of its
obligations under this Guaranty.




(c) Neither this Guaranty nor any statement or certification as to facts previously
furnished or required herein to be furnished to the Lender by the Guarantor, contains any
material inaccuracy or untruth in any representation, covenant or warranty or omits to state
a fact material to this Guaranty.



3. Continuing Guaranty. The Guarantor agrees that the performance of the Obligations
by the Guarantor shall be a primary obligation, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, set-off,
abatement, deferment or defense based upon any claim that the Guarantor may have against the
Lender, the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other person or entity, and
shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or
affected in any way by, any circumstance or condition (whether or not the Guarantor shall have any
knowledge thereof), including without limitation:




(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents;




(b) any termination, amendment, modification or other change in any of the Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, any modification of the interest rate(s) described
therein;




(c) any furnishing, exchange, substitution or release of any collateral securing
repayment of the Loan, or any failure to perfect any lien in such collateral;




(d) any failure, omission or delay on the part of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any
other guarantor of the Obligations or the Lender to conform or comply with any term of any
of the Loan Documents or any failure of the Lender to give notice of any Event of Default
(as defined in the Note);




(e) any waiver, compromise, release, settlement or extension of time of payment or
performance or observance of any of the obligations or agreements contained in any of the
Loan Documents;




(f) any action or inaction by the Lender under or in respect of any of the Loan
Documents, any failure, lack of diligence, omission or delay on the part of the Lender to
perfect, enforce, assert or exercise any lien, security interest, right, power or remedy
conferred on it in any of the Loan Documents, or any other action or inaction on the part of
the Lender;




(g) any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment, assignment for the benefit of creditors, composition, receivership,
liquidation, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar events or proceedings with
respect to the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Obligations, as
applicable, or any of their respective property or creditors, or any action taken by any
trustee or receiver or by any court in any such proceeding;




(h) any merger or consolidation of the Borrower into or with any entity, or any sale,
lease or transfer of any of the assets of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other guarantor
of the Obligations to any other person or entity;




(i) any change in the ownership of the Borrower or any change in the relationship
between the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Obligations, or any
termination of any such relationship;




(j) any release or discharge by operation of law of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any
other guarantor of the Obligations from any obligation or agreement contained in any of the
Loan Documents (except as expressly set forth in the Note); or




(k) any other occurrence, circumstance, happening or event, whether similar or
dissimilar to the foregoing and whether foreseen or unforeseen, which otherwise might
constitute a legal or equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or
surety or which otherwise might limit recourse against the Borrower or the Guarantor to the
fullest extent permitted by law.



4. Waivers. The Guarantor expressly and unconditionally waives (i) notice of any of
the matters referred to in Section 4 above, (ii) all notices which may be required by statute, rule
of law or otherwise, now or hereafter in effect, to preserve intact any rights against the
Guarantor, including, without limitation, any demand, presentment and protest, proof of notice of
non-payment under any of the Loan Documents and notice of any Event of Default or any failure on
the part of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Obligations to perform or
comply with any covenant, agreement, term or condition of any of the Loan Documents, (iii) any
right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise against the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other
guarantor of the Obligations of any right or remedy conferred under any of the Loan Documents, (iv)
any requirement of diligence on the part of any person or entity, (v) any requirement on the part
of the Lender to exhaust any remedies or to mitigate the damages resulting from any default under
any of the Loan Documents, and (vi) any notice of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any
right, title or interest of the Lender under any of the Loan Documents.



5. Subordination. The Guarantor agrees that any and all present and future debts and
obligations of the Borrower to the Guarantor are hereby subordinated to the claims of the Lender
and are hereby assigned by the Guarantor to the Lender as security for the Obligations and the
obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.



6. Subrogation Waiver. Until the Obligations are paid in full and all periods under
applicable bankruptcy law for the contest of any payment by the Guarantor or the Borrower as a
preferential or fraudulent payment have expired, the Guarantor knowingly, and with advice of
counsel, waives, relinquishes, releases and abandons all rights and claims to indemnification,
contribution, reimbursement, subrogation and payment the Guarantor may now or hereafter have by and
from the Borrower and the successors and assigns of the Borrower, for any payments made by the
Guarantor to the Lender, including, without limitation, any rights which might allow the Borrower,
the Borrower’s successors, a creditor of the Borrower, or a trustee in bankruptcy of the Borrower
to claim in bankruptcy or any other similar proceedings that any payment made by the Borrower or
the Borrower’s successors and assigns to the Lender was on behalf of or for the benefit of the
Guarantor and that such payment is recoverable by the Borrower, a creditor or trustee in bankruptcy
of the Borrower as a preferential payment, fraudulent conveyance, payment of an insider or any
other classification of payment which may otherwise be recoverable from the Lender.



7. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall
continue to be effective or automatically be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment
of any of the Obligations or the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty is rescinded or
otherwise must be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of the Guarantor or the Borrower or otherwise, all as though such
payment had not been made.



8. Financial Statements. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender that (a)
the financial statements of the Guarantor previously submitted to the Lender are true, complete and
correct in all material respects, disclose all actual and contingent liabilities, and fairly
present the financial condition of the Guarantor, and do not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a fact material to the financial statements submitted for this
Guaranty, and (b) no material adverse change has occurred in the financial statements from the
dates thereof until the date hereof. The Guarantor covenants and agrees to furnish to the Lender
or its authorized representatives information regarding the business affairs, operations and
financial condition of the Guarantor, and the Guarantor shall furnish to the Lender (i) within
thirty (30) days after its filing, copies of the federal income tax return of the Guarantor, and
(ii) annual audited financial statements for each fiscal year no later than ninety (90) days after
the end of such year, prepared by an independent certified public accountant.



9. Transfers; Sales, Etc. Other than in connection with the Permitted Transfer (as
defined in the Deed of Trust), the Guarantor shall not sell, lease, transfer, convey or assign any
of its assets, unless (a) if the Guarantor is an individual, such sale, lease, transfer, conveyance
or assignment is of a non-material asset of the Guarantor, or (b) if the Guarantor is a
corporation, partnership or other entity, such sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or assignment will
not have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Guarantor or its
ability to perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained in either the
Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the issuance, redemption, transfer or
other conveyance of the following interests (X) will not constitute a transfer of direct or
indirect ownership interests in Guarantor or of indirect interests in the Property, (Y) will not
constitute a default or an Event of Default under this Guaranty, the Deed of Trust, or any other
Loan Document, and (Z) do not require the consent of Lender:




(i) limited partnership interests in Guarantor,




(ii) stock in Duke Realty Corporation, and/or




(iii) stock in Duke Acquisition, Inc.,



10. Enforcement Costs. If: (a) this Guaranty, is placed in the hands of one or
more attorneys for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (b) one or more
attorneys is retained to represent the Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or
other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty, or (c) one
or more attorneys is retained to represent the Lender in any other proceedings whatsoever in
connection with this Guaranty, then the Guarantor shall pay to the Lender upon demand all fees,
costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection therewith, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and filing fees (all of which are referred to herein as the
“Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.



11. Successors and Assigns; Joint and Several Liability. This Guaranty shall inure to
the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding on the
Guarantor, and the heirs, legatees, successors and assigns of the Guarantor. If this Guaranty is
executed by more than one person, it shall be the joint and several undertaking of each of the
undersigned. Regardless of whether this Guaranty is executed by more than one person, it is agreed
that the undersigned’s liability hereunder is several and independent of any other guarantees or
other obligations at any time in effect with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof, and
that the Guarantor’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity,
enforcement or non-enforcement of any such other guarantees or other obligations, subject to the
terms of Section 11 hereof.



12. No Waiver of Rights. No delay or failure on the part of the Lender to exercise
any right, power or privilege under this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents shall operate
as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege shall
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right, or be
deemed to establish a custom or course of dealing or performance between the parties hereto. The
rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies

of the operation of law, or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any administrative
agency or any court, the Guarantor and the Lender shall negotiate an equitable adjustment in the
provisions of the same in order to effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the purpose of
this Guaranty and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, or portions or
applications thereof, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.
