EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
BOARD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
The primary objectives of the Executive Compensation Committee (the
"Committee") in determining total compensation of the Company's executive
officers are to (i) enable the Company to attract and retain high quality
executives by providing total compensation opportunities with a combination of
compensation elements which are at or above competitive opportunities and which
provide for moderate fixed costs and leveraged incentive opportunities, and (ii)
to align shareholder interests and executive rewards by providing substantial
incentive opportunities to be earned by meeting standards designed to increase
long-term shareholder value. In order to accomplish these
5
<PAGE>
objectives, the Committee adopted during 1995 a new executive compensation
program which provides (i) annual base salaries at or near the market median,
(ii) annual incentive opportunities which reward the executives for achieving or
surpassing performance goals which represent industry norms of excellence, and
(iii) long-term incentive opportunities which are directly related to increasing
shareholder value.
The Committee has not yet developed a position regarding the Internal
Revenue Code provisions limiting deductions for certain compensation to $1.0
million per person because no compensation paid to any one individual has
approached such limitation. However, the Committee has taken steps to mitigate
any future negative impact of this provision. For example, the long term
incentive plans discussed below will qualify for exemption from the limit on tax
deductibility as shareholder approved performance plans if such plans are
approved by the shareholders.
ANNUAL INCENTIVE OPPORTUNITIES
The Annual Incentive Opportunities consist of Base Salary and Annual Cash
Incentives. The objective of the Committee is for total annual cash
compensation, consisting of these two components for each executive officer, to
be between the 50th and 75th percentile of the comparable market. The market
median for the CEO and the COO is based on a comparison group of 13 other
publicly traded real estate investment trusts and for the other executive
officers on comparison data obtained from the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT).
BASE SALARIES
The range of base salaries for executive officers of the Company is
established with a midpoint based upon the market median and provides for a 50
percent differential between the minimum and maximum annual salary within the
range. The midpoint of the range is equal to 90 percent of the market median for
the most senior executive officers and the vice-presidents in charge of business
segments and equal to the market median for other executive officers. The base
salary is set at a level within the range based upon subjective factors related
to the individual's experience and performance.
ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVES
A targeted annual cash incentive for each executive officer is set at a
percentage of base salary. The targeted annual percentage for each executive is
determined by the desired combination of fixed and variable compensation for
each executive which is adjusted based on his or her ability to impact
measurable results. The amount of each executive's annual award is based on a
combination of three performance factors: (i) overall corporate performance;
(ii) business segment or departmental performance; and (iii) individual
performance. The relative importance of each of the performance factors in
determining annual cash incentives differs for each executive position with the
performance factor for the most senior executives being based more heavily on
overall corporate performance and the performance factor for the officers in
charge of business segments or departments being based on more heavily on the
performance of their segment or department. The overall corporate performance
factor is based on a three tier measurement system consisting of Funds from
Operations Growth, Return on Shareholders' Equity and Return on Real Estate
Investments. The business segment performance is based on a four tier
measurement system consisting of return on the in-service property portfolio,
value creation though new development and acquisitions performance, the
contribution level of the business unit to the Company overall and certain other
non-financial measures. The amount of the targeted annual cash incentives paid
is based on the level of attainment of each of the measurements as compared to
the pre-determined standards established by the Committee. If performance is
below an established threshold amount, no cash incentives are paid. If
performance meets or exceeds the threshold levels, the payment of annual cash
incentives may range from 25 percent to 150 percent of the targeted amounts.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE OPPORTUNITIES
A potential long-term incentive award for each executive officer is set at a
percentage of base salary. The amount of long-term incentive awarded on an
annual basis is determined at the discretion
6
<PAGE>
of the Committee but is tied to overall corporate and business segment
performance. The long-term incentive opportunities consist of approximately
two-thirds Stock Options ("Options") and Dividend Increase Units ("DIUs") and
one-third Shareholder Value Grants.
Stock Option and Dividend Increase Unit Plans
The objectives of the Stock Option and Dividend Increase Unit Plans are to
provide executive officers with long-term incentive opportunities aligned with
the shareholder benefits of an increased Common Stock value and increased annual
dividends. The number of Options and DIUs issued to each executive annually is
set by the Committee based on the goal of providing approximately two-thirds of
the total annual long-term incentive award through these plans and assumes a
combined value of each Option and DIU at the date of grant based on the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Options and DIUs are for terms of no
more than ten years and generally become vested, pursuant to a schedule set by
the Committee, 50 percent three years after the date of grant and 25 percent
four and five years after the date of grant. The Options may not be issued for
less than the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock at the date of
grant. The value of each DIU at the date of exercise will be determined by
calculating the percentage of the Company's annualized dividend per share to the
market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock (the "Dividend Yield")
at the date the DIU is granted and dividing the increase in the Company's
annualized dividend from the date of grant to the date of exercise by such
Dividend Yield. A DIU may be exercised by a participant only to the extent that
such participant has exercised an Option to purchase a share of Common Stock of
the Company under an Option granted under the 1995 Stock Option Plan on the same
date as the grant of the DIU.
Shareholder Value Plan
The objective of the Shareholder Value Plan is to provide executive officers
with long-term incentive opportunities directly related to providing total
shareholder return in excess of the median of independent market indices. The
annual Shareholder Value Plan amount for each executive is set by the Committee
with the goal of providing approximately one-third of the total long-term
incentive award through this plan. The award vests entirely three years after
the date of grant and the amount paid is based on the Company's total
shareholder return for such three year period as compared to independent market
indices. The independent market indices used for comparison are the S&P 500
Index and the NAREIT Equity REIT Total Return Index. The amount of the award
payable may range from zero percent if both of the rankings of the comparable
returns are less than the 50th percentile of both of the indices to 300 percent
if the rankings of both of the comparable returns are in the 90th percentile or
higher of both of the indices, with 100 percent of the award being payable at
the 60th percentile.
COMPENSATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
The compensation awarded to Mr. Hefner in 1995 consisted primarily of an
annual base salary of $150,000, an annual cash incentive award of $60,000 and a
grant of 6,756 Options. The salary amount was set in 1993 when, as part of the
Company's reorganization, Mr. Hefner was appointed Chief Executive Officer. Mr.
Hefner did not receive an annual bonus for 1993 and 1994. This base salary and
the absence of an annual bonus resulted in total compensation which was below
the comparable market median but was considered appropriate in light of Mr.
Hefner's substantial equity interest in the Company and his stock options held.
In 1995, Mr. Hefner's total compensation was evaluated under the new executive
compensation plan adopted by the Committee as discussed above. Accordingly, in
1996, Mr. Hefner's base salary will be increased with the intent that, by 1999,
his base salary will be equal to 90 percent of the market median of a comparison
group of thirteen other publicly traded real estate investment trusts. In
addition, under the Committee's executive compensation plan, Mr. Hefner is
eligible for a targeted annual cash incentive bonus (to be phased in through
1997) and a targeted long-term incentive award equal to a percentage of his
annual base salary. The amount of Mr. Hefner's annual cash incentive bonus is
determined solely upon overall corporate performance which is based on a three
tier measurement system consisting of Funds from Operations Growth,
7
<PAGE>
Return on Shareholders' Equity and Return on Real Estate Investments as compared
to pre-determined target criteria established by the Committee. Under the three
tier measurement system, the Funds from Operations Growth measurement comprises
80 percent of the rating with each of the other two factors comprising 10
percent of the rating. The amount of the targeted annual cash incentives paid is
based on the level of attainment of each of the measurements as compared to the
pre-determined standards. If performance is below an established threshold
amount, no cash incentives are paid. If performance meets or exceeds the
threshold levels, the payment of annual cash incentives may range from 25
percent to 150 percent of the targeted amounts. For 1995, the Company's FFO
Growth was 8.26% on a per share basis, its Return on Shareholders' Equity was
10.21% and its Return on Real Estate Investments was 8.87%. All of these factors
equaled or exceeded the pre-determined standards established by the Committee.
Based on this performance, Mr. Hefner received an Annual Cash Incentive award of
$60,000 for 1995.
As a long-term incentive opportunity award in 1995, Mr. Hefner was granted
an option to purchase 6,756 shares of Company Common Stock at a price of $30.625
per share and 6,756 DIUs with a Dividend Yield of 6.40%. Mr. Hefner was also
awarded a targeted amount of $30,000 under the Shareholder Value Plan.

- ------------------------
(1) Under the 1995 Dividend Increase Unit Plan, DIUs are granted to key
employees. DIUs granted to date vest over a 5 year period with 50% vesting
at the end of year 3 and 25% vesting at the end of years 4 and 5. DIUs may
be exercised by a participant only to the extent that such participant has
purchased a share of Company Common Stock pursuant to an option granted
under the 1995 Stock Option Plan on the same date as the grant of the DIU.
The value of each DIU at the date of exercise is determined by calculating
the Dividend Yield at the date the DIU is granted and dividing the increase
in the Company's annualized dividend from the date of grant to the date of
exercise by such Dividend Yield. DIUs not exercised within 10 years of the
date of grant are forfeited. Distribution of a participant's benefits under
the 1995 Dividend Increase Unit Plan will be made in a single lump sum
payment in the form of whole shares of the Company's Common Stock. No DIUs
were vested at year end.
(2) Under the 1995 Shareholder Value Plan, awards are granted in specified
dollar amounts to selected key employees. The specified award is payable to
the participant on the third anniversary of the grant of the award. The
payment of the bonus award amount will be adjusted based upon the Company's
cumulative total shareholder return for the three year period beginning on
the date of grant as compared to the cumulative total return for the S&P 500
Index and the NAREIT Equity REIT Total Return Index (the "Indices") for the
same period. The Company's cumulative total shareholder return is calculated
by determining the average per share closing price of the Company's Common
Stock for the 30 day period preceding the end of the three year period
increased by an amount that would be realized if all cash dividends paid
during the three year period were reinvested in Company Common Stock and
comparing this amount to the average per share closing price of the
Company's Common Stock for the 30 day period preceding the date of grant.
The payment of one-half of the bonus award is adjusted based upon the
percentile ranking of the Company's cumulative total shareholder return as
compared to each of the Indices for the same period. The payment adjustment
may range from zero percent if both of the rankings of the comparable
returns are less than the 50th percentile of both of the Indices to 300
percent if both
12
<PAGE>
of the rankings are in the 90th percentile or higher of both of the Indices,
with 100 percent of the award being payable at the 60th percentile.
Distribution of a participant's adjusted bonus award at the end of the three
year period after the date of grant will be made one-half in cash and one-
half in the form of whole shares of Company Common Stock.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole general partner of Duke
Realty Services Limited Partnership (the "Services Partnership"), which is in
turn the sole general partner of Duke Construction Limited Partnership (the
"Construction Partnership"). The operations of these entities are included in
the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Services Partnership
provides third party property management, leasing and development services and
the Construction Partnership provides third party construction services. Certain
of the executive officers own limited partnership interests in these entities.
Messrs. Hefner, Staton, Zink, Wynne, Burk and Mennel control an entity that
indirectly owns ninety percent of the capital interests in the Services
Partnership and profit's interests which vary from 10% to 90%. The share of net
income of the Services Partnership for 1995 allocated to the entity controlled
by these executive officers was $973,544. The executive officers' share of net
income from the Services Partnership is included in minority interest in the
Company's financial statements. The Company has an option to acquire these
executive officers' limited partnership interest in the Services Partnership in
exchange for 416,666 Units. These same executive officers own a 95 percent
limited partnership interest in the Construction Partnership which the Company
has the option to purchase for $1,000. The Construction Partnership has a
deficit cumulative capital balance, thus there was no allocation of net income
to any of the partners of the Construction Partnership, including these
executive officers.
The Services Partnership and the Construction Partnership provide property
management, leasing, construction and other tenant related services to
properties in which Messrs. Hefner, Staton, Zink, Wynne, Burk and Mennel have
ownership interests. The Company has an option to acquire these executive
officers' interests in these properties (the "Option Properties"). In 1995, the
Services Partnership and the Construction Partnership received fees of
$2,367,526 and $342,131, respectively, for services provided to the Option
Properties. The fees charged by the Services Partnership and the Construction
Partnership for such services are equivalent to those charged to other third
party owners for similar services. Also, the Company leased operating facilities
in certain of the Option Properties. In 1995, the aggregate rent under such
leases was approximately $476,120. The rental amount paid is comparable to
similar space in the area.
DRLP has a $20.0 million loan to the Service Partnership which requires
interest only payments at 12% through September, 2003. The loan then amortizes
over a 15 year period with interest at 12% until final maturity in September,
2018. The loan is guaranteed by an entity owned indirectly by Messrs. Hefner,
Staton, Zink, Wynne, Burk and Mennel.
Messrs. Hefner, Staton, Zink, Wynne, Burk and Mennel have personal
guarantees for $50.5 million of the Company's debt. DRLP has indemnified them
from any liability with respect to such debt.
The Company contracts with Steel Frame Erectors, Inc. ("SFE"), an entity
owned by Messrs. Hefner, Staton, Zink, Wynne, Burk and Mennel, for certain
construction related services. During 1995, the total costs under these
contracts for Company related projects was $1,114,382. The net income of SFE for
1995 was $64,197.
In 1995, the Company acquired one of the Option Properties from a
corporation in which Messrs. Hefner, Zink and Wynne collectively own a 46%
interest. The acquisition price consisted of the assumption of $1,560,000 of
third party debt and the issuance of Units with a value at the date of issuance
(based on the market value of the Company's common stock) of $156,000. An entity
in which Mr. Wynne owns an 85.72% interest owned a 50% interest in certain land
acquired by the Company. For such 50% interest, Mr. Wynne received Units with a
value at the date of issuance (based on the market value of the Company's common
stock) of $7,400. The building located on such land was also
13
<PAGE>
acquired from a separate entity in which Mr. Wynne owns an 75% interest. The
acquisition price of the building was the assumption of third party debt in the
amount of $1,450,000 and the issuance of Units with a value at the date of
issuance (based on the market value of the Company's common stock) of $37,000.
All of these transactions were approved by the Company's unaffiliated directors.
PROPOSAL NO. 2. APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
COMPENSATION PLANS
The Committee has approved and adopted, and the Board of Directors has
ratified such adoption, subject to shareholder approval, effective October 1,
1995, the following executive officer compensation plans:
- The 1995 Key Employees' Stock Option Plan of Duke Realty Investments, Inc.
(the "1995 Stock Option Plan")
- The 1995 Dividend Increase Unit Plan of Duke Realty Services Limited
Partnership (the "1995 Dividend Increase Unit Plan")
- The 1995 Shareholder Value Plan of Duke Realty Services Limited
Partnership (the "1995 Shareholder Value Plan").
To become effective, each plan must be separately approved by the Company's
shareholders.
1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN
The 1995 Stock Option Plan is a replacement for the Duke Realty Services
1993 Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Stock Option Plan") which was previously
approved by the shareholders. Upon approval of the 1995 Stock Option Plan by the
shareholders, the 1993 Stock Option Plan will terminate with respect to the
granting of any additional options under such plan. The 1995 Stock Option Plan
is designed to promote the interest of the Company and its subsidiaries by
encouraging their officers and other key employees, upon whose judgment,
initiative and industry the Company and its subsidiaries are largely dependent
for the successful conduct and growth of their business, to continue their
association with the Company and its subsidiaries by providing additional
incentive and opportunity for unusual industry and efficiency through stock
ownership, and by increasing their proprietary interest in the Company and their
personal interest in its continued success and progress. The Committee will
administer the 1995 Stock Option Plan and no member of the Committee will be
eligible to receive grants of options under the 1995 Stock Option Plan. The
Committee is comprised of at least three unaffiliated members of the Board of
Directors. All Company officers and certain non-officer key employees are
eligible for the 1995 Stock Option Plan. Currently, this group consists of 48
employees.
The following is a description of the material features of the 1995 Stock
Option Plan. A copy of the plan document is set out in full in Exhibit A to this
Proxy Statement.
MATERIAL FEATURES OF THE 1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN
Under the 1995 Stock Option Plan, the Committee will be authorized to grant
options to purchase up to 558,400 shares of Common Stock, as well as up to
400,000 shares authorized under the 1993 Stock Option Plan that become available
due to the lapse, forfeiture, or other termination of stock options granted
under such plan. The 558,400 shares is equal to the number of shares authorized
under the 1993 Stock Option Plan for which options to purchase have not yet been
granted. Therefore, shareholder approval of the termination of the 1993 Stock
Option Plan and the adoption of the 1995 Stock Option Plan will not increase the
number of shares reserved for the granting of options above that which has
previously been approved by the shareholders. The market values, as of March 19,
1996, of the 958,000 Shares that may be awarded under the plan was $28,261,000.
The 1995 Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock
options ("ISOs") (as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code) and
nonqualified stock options ("NSOs").
14
<PAGE>
Options may be granted under the 1995 Stock Option Plan for a period of ten
years commencing October 1, 1995. The 1995 Stock Option Plan will expire on
September 30, 2005 except as to outstanding options, which options shall remain
in effect until they have been exercised or terminated or have expired. Annual
grants of more than 25,000 options to any one officer or key employee are not
permitted under the plan.
The term of each option, the date an option becomes exercisable and the
option price will be determined by the Committee except that the term of an
option may not exceed ten years and the option price may not be less than the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted. In the
case of ISO's granted to holders of more than 10% of the total voting power of
the Company's Common Stock, the term of the option may not exceed 5 years and
the option price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the stock
at the date of grant. Payment of the exercise price may be made in cash, or at
the discretion of the Committee, in the form of shares of the Company's Common
Stock or a combination of cash and stock.
During an optionee's lifetime, his option is nontransferable and may be
exercised only by him. If an optionee's employment terminates for any reason
other than cause (as defined) or his total disability (as defined) or death, any
outstanding options which were exercisable on his date of termination will
terminate 90 days after the optionee's employment terminates. If an optionee is
terminated for cause, all outstanding options will terminate on the date his
employment terminates. If an optionee's employment terminates because of death
or total disability, all outstanding options remain exercisable for a period of
one year from the date of termination of employment. In the event of the death,
total disability or retirement (on or after attaining age 65) of the optionee or
a change in control of the Company (as defined), all outstanding options become
immediately exercisable.
In any calendar year no participant under the 1995 Stock Option Plan may be
granted ISOs to the extent that the aggregate exercise price of such ISOs
(determined at the date the ISOs are granted) that are exercisable for the first
time in any calendar year by such participant exceeds $100,000.
The Committee has approved two separate grants under the plan with grant
dates of October 25, 1995 and January 31, 1996, respectively. The intent of the
Committee is to grant additional options under the 1995 Stock Option Plan on an
annual basis.
The Board of Directors may, at any time, without the approval of the
shareholders of the Company, alter, amend, modify, suspend or discontinue the
1995 Stock Option Plan except for any such alterations which would (i) increase
the aggregate number of shares subject to options under the 1995 Stock Option
Plan (except to the extent otherwise provided for as a result of stock
dividends, splits, combinations or other changes of shares described in the plan
document); (ii) decrease the minimum option price; (iii) permit any Committee
member to become eligible to receive grants of options under the 1995 Stock
Option Plan; (iv) withdraw administration of the 1995 Stock Option Plan from the
Committee or the Board of Directors; (v) extend the term of the 1995 Stock
Option Plan or the maximum period during which any option may be exercised; (vi)
change the manner of determining the option price; or (vii) change the class of
individuals eligible for options under the 1995 Stock Option Plan.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The 1995 Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of options qualified as
ISOs within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and NSOs.
The federal income tax consequences to the Company and to the optionee arising
from the grant and exercise of the option and the subsequent sale of the Common
Stock are significantly different for the two types of options.
In the case of ISOs, no income is recognized by the optionee and no
compensation expense deduction is allowable to the Company or its subsidiaries
at the time of either the grant or exercise of the option. However, any
difference between the option price and the fair market value of the shares on
the date of exercise constitutes an alternative minimum tax adjustment for the
optionee. If the shares acquired through an ISO are (i) held for at least two
years from the date the option is granted
15
<PAGE>
and at least one year from the date the option is exercised and (ii) the
optionee was an employee at all times from the date the ISO was granted until
the day three months before the ISO is exercised, any gain realized by the
optionee on the subsequent sale of the shares will be treated as long-term
capital gain for federal income tax purposes and no compensation expense
deduction will be allowable to the Company or its subsidiaries. A sale of such
shares by the optionee at a gain prior to meeting these holding period
requirements will result in the recognition of ordinary income by the optionee
and a corresponding compensation expense deduction to the Company or its
subsidiaries.
In the case of NSOs, no income is recognized by the optionee and no
deduction is allowable to the Company or its subsidiaries at the time the option
is granted. At the time an NSO is exercised, the optionee will recognize
ordinary income, in the form of compensation, and the Company or its
subsidiaries will be entitled to a compensation expense deduction equal to the
excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the NSO is exercised
over the exercise price of the shares. The fair market value of the stock at the
time of exercise is the basis for the determination of capital gain or loss upon
the optionee's subsequent disposition of the shares.
THE 1995 DIVIDEND INCREASE UNIT PLAN
The purpose of the 1995 Dividend Increase Unit Plan is to retain selected
key employees of the Services Partnership. The 1995 Dividend Increase Unit Plan
has been established through the Services Partnership because it is anticipated
that most of the employment services provided by key employees to be covered by
the 1995 Dividend Increase Unit Plan will be performed as employees of the
Services Partnership. The Committee will administer the 1995 Dividend Increase
Unit Plan and no member of the Committee will be eligible to participate in the
1995 Dividend Increase Unit Plan. The Committee will be authorized to issue up
to 100,000 shares of Common Stock under the 1995 Dividend Increase Unit Plan.
All Company officers and key employees of the Services Partnership are eligible
for the 1995 Dividend Increase Unit Plan. Currently, this group consists of 48
employees.
The following is a description of the material features of the 1995 Dividend
Increase Unit Plan. A copy of the plan document is set out in full in Exhibit B
to this Proxy Statement.
MATERIAL FEATURES OF THE 1995 DIVIDEND INCREASE UNIT PLAN
Under the 1995 Dividend Increase Unit Plan, the Committee may grant one or
more DIUs to key employees of the Services Partnership. The value of each DIU at
the date of exercise will be determined by calculating the the Dividend Yield at
the date the DIU is granted and dividing the increase in the Company's
annualized dividend from the date of grant to the date of exercise by such
Dividend Yield. A DIU may be exercised by a participant only to the extent that
such participant has purchased a share of Common Stock of the Company pursuant
to the exercise of an option granted under the 1995 Stock Option Plan on the
same date as the grant of the DIU. The term of each DIU and the date the DIUs
become exercisable shall be determined by the Committee except that the term of
a DIU may not exceed ten years.
During a participant's lifetime, his DIUs are nontransferable and may be
exercised only by him. If a participant's employment terminates for any reason
other than cause (as defined) or his total disability (as defined) or death, any
outstanding DIUs will terminate 90 days after the participant's employment
terminates. If a participant is terminated for cause, all outstanding DIUs will
terminate on the date his employment terminates. If a participant's employment
terminates because of death or total disability, all outstanding DIUs remain
exercisable for a period of one year from the date of termination of employment.
In the event of death, total disability or retirement (on or after attaining age
65) of the participant or a change in control of the Company (as defined), all
outstanding DIUs become immediately exercisable.
Distribution of a participant's benefit under the 1995 Dividend Increase
Unit Plan will be made in a single lump sum payment in the form of whole shares
of the Company's Common Stock. The number of shares to be issued will be based
on the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock at the
16
<PAGE>
time of exercise. In the event of a change of control of the Company, each
participant will be entitled to receive, within 90 days of the date of change in
control, a lump sum payment in cash equal to the value of his Units at the date
of change of control.
The Committee has approved two separate grants under the plan to a total of
47 individual grantees with effective dates of January 1, 1995 and January 31,
1996, respectively. The intent of the Committee is to grant additional DIUs
under the 1995 Dividend Increase Unit Plan on an annual basis.
The Board of Directors may, at any time, without the approval of the
shareholders of the Company, amend or terminate the 1995 Dividend Increase Unit
Plan except that no amendment may be made to take away a benefit from a
participant which had accrued prior to the amendment.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
At the time a DIU is exercised, the participant will recognize ordinary
income in the form of compensation, and the Company or its subsidiaries will be
entitled to a compensation expense deduction equal to the value of the Common
Stock transferred to the participant.
THE 1995 SHAREHOLDER VALUE PLAN
The purpose of the 1995 Shareholder Value Plan is to retain key employees of
the Services Partnership by rewarding those key employees for increasing the
Company's shareholders' return on their investment. The 1995 Shareholder Value
Plan has been established through the Services Partnership because it is
anticipated that most of the employment services provided by the key employees
to be covered by the 1995 Shareholder Value Plan will be performed as employees
of the Services Partnership. The Committee will administer the 1995 Shareholder
Value Plan and no member of the Committee will be eligible to participate
thereunder. The Committee will be authorized to issue up to 100,000 shares of
Common Stock under the 1995 Shareholder Value Plan. Employees of the Services
Partnership who are considered to be part of the executive officer group are
eligible for the 1995 Shareholder Value Plan. Currently, this group consists of
25 people.
The following is a description of the material features of the 1995
Shareholder Value Plan. A copy of the plan document is set out in full in
Exhibit C to this Proxy Statement.
MATERIAL FEATURES OF THE 1995 SHAREHOLDER VALUE PLAN
Under the 1995 Shareholder Value Plan, the Committee may grant bonus awards
in specified dollar amounts to key employees of the Services Partnership. The
specified bonus award will be payable to the participant on the third
anniversary of the grant of the award provided the participant is still an
employee of the Services Partnership or an affiliate. The payment of the bonus
award amount will be adjusted based upon the Company's cumulative total
shareholder return for the three year period beginning on the date of grant as
compared to the cumulative total return for both the S&P 500 Index and the
NAREIT Equity REIT Total Return Index (the "Indices") for the same period. The
Company's cumulative total shareholder return will be calculated by determining
the average per share closing price of the Company's Common Stock for the 30 day
period preceding the end of the three year period increased by an amount that
would have been realized if all cash dividends paid during the three year period
had been reinvested in Company Common Stock and comparing this amount to the
average per share closing price of the Company's Common Stock for the 30 day
period preceding the date of grant. The payment of one-half of the bonus award
will be adjusted based upon the percentile ranking of the Company's cumulative
total shareholder return as compared to each of the Indices for the same period.
The payment adjustment may range from zero percent if both of the rankings of
the comparable returns are less than the 50th percentile of both of the Indices
to 300 percent if both of the rankings are in the 90th percentile or higher of
both of the Indices, with 100 percent of the award being payable at the 60th
percentile.
During a participant's lifetime, his bonus award is nontransferable and may
be exercised only by him. If a participant's employment terminates for any
reason other than his total disability (as
17
<PAGE>
defined), death or retirement (on or after attaining age 65), any outstanding
unpaid bonus award will terminate on the date his employment terminates. In the
event of death, total disability or retirement of the participant, all
outstanding bonus awards become vested and are payable at the end of the related
calculation period. In the event of a change in control of the Company (as
defined), any outstanding bonus awards become payable within 90 days of the date
of change in control and will be the greater of the full dollar amount of the
bonus award or the bonus award as adjusted under the plan from the date of grant
through the date of change in control.
Distribution of a participant's adjusted bonus award at the end of the three
year period after the date of grant will be made one-half in cash and one-half
in the form of whole shares of Company Common Stock. The number of shares to be
issued will be based on the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock at
the end of the three year period.
The Committee has approved two separate grants under the plan to a total of
24 individual grantees with effective dates of January 1, 1995 and January 31,
1996, respectively. The intent of the Committee is to grant additional awards
under the 1995 Shareholder Value Plan on an annual basis.
The Board of Directors may, at any time, without the approval of the
shareholders of the Company, amend or terminate the 1995 Shareholder Value Plan
except that no amendment may be made to take away a benefit from a participant
which had accrued prior to the amendment.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
At the time the bonus award is paid, the participant will recognize ordinary
income in the form of compensation and the Company or its subsidiaries will be
entitled to a compensation expense deduction equal to the amount of cash paid
and the fair market value of the Common Stock transferred to the participant.
RECOMMENDATION
Adoption of these plans requires an affirmative vote for each plan by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock represented at the meeting
either in person or by proxy. Any shares not voted (whether by abstention,
broker non-vote, or otherwise) have the effect of a negative vote. THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE 1995
STOCK OPTION PLAN, THE 1995 DIVIDEND INCREASE UNIT PLAN, AND THE 1995
SHAREHOLDER VALUE PLAN.
PROPOSAL NO. 3: APPROVAL OF THE DIRECTORS STOCK PAYMENT PLAN
The Committee has adopted and the Board of Directors of the Company has
ratified such adoption, subject to shareholder approval, the Directors Stock
Payment Plan of Duke Realty Investments, Inc. (the "Directors Stock Payment
Plan"). The purpose of the Directors' Stock Payment Plan is to promote the
interests of the Company by increasing the proprietary interest in the Company
of its unaffiliated directors. The Directors' Stock Payment Plan will cover only
the unaffiliated directors of the Company and will be administered by the
Committee. The Committee will be authorized to issue up to 20,000 shares of
Common Stock under the Directors Stock Payment Plan.
The following is a description of the material features of the Directors'
Stock Payment Plan. A copy of the plan document is set out in full in Exhibit D
to this Proxy Statement.
MATERIAL FEATURES OF THE DIRECTORS' STOCK PAYMENT PLAN
Under the Directors' Stock Payment Plan, each unaffiliated director of the
Company will be entitled to receive as compensation for services 150 shares of
Common Stock of the Company for each full calendar quarter during which he is
actively serving as a director of the Company. In the event a participant is a
director for less than a full calendar quarter, the number of shares such
participant is entitled to receive will be prorated for the portion of the
quarter of active service. The unaffiliated directors will not receive any other
compensation for their services except cash payments for meeting attendance.
During 1995, Messrs. Button, Feinsand, Peterson, Rogers, Stanfield and Strauss,
and Ms. Cuneo each received 600 Shares under the plan.
18
<PAGE>
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The unaffiliated directors will recognize ordinary income and the Company
will be entitled to a deduction on a quarterly basis equal to the fair market
value of the Company's Common Stock at the time of transfer of the shares to the
unaffiliated directors.
RECOMMENDATION
Adoption of this proposal requires an affirmative vote by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding Common Stock represented at the meeting either in
person or by proxy. Any shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker
non-vote, or otherwise) have the effect of a negative vote. THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE
DIRECTORS' STOCK PAYMENT PLAN OF DUKE REALTY INVESTMENTS, INC.
DISCLOSURE OF BENEFITS
The benefits to be received under the 1995 Stock Option Plan, the 1995
Dividend Increase Unit Plan and the 1995 Shareholder Value Plan are generally
not determinable because all awards are within the discretion of the Committee.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
Any shareholder of the Company wishing to have a proposal considered for
inclusion in the Company's 1997 proxy solicitation materials must set forth such
proposal in writing and file it with the Secretary of the Company on or before
November 25, 1996. The Board of Directors of the Company will review any
shareholder proposals that are filed as required, and will determine whether
such proposals meet applicable criteria for inclusion in its 1996 proxy
solicitation materials or consideration at the 1997 annual meeting.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires
the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of the
Company's Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater
than 10% shareholders are required by Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file.
Based on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, the
Company believes that during 1995 all of its officers, directors and greater
than 10% beneficial owners timely filed the forms required under Section 16(a),
except the following: (i) Mr. Horn failed to timely file one report for the
purchase of 1,500 shares of Company Common Stock, and (ii) Messrs. Myrvold,
Minton, Horn, Linville, Lingafelter, Hunter and Kennedy each failed to timely
file one report for the granting of Units to them in August 1995.
ANNUAL REPORT
A copy of the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1995
has been provided to all shareholders as of the record date. The Annual Report
is not to be considered as proxy solicitation material.
OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be brought before this
annual meeting. However, if other matters should come before the meeting, it is
the intention of each person named in the proxy to vote such proxy in accordance
with his or her judgment on such matters.
EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION
The entire expense of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing the proxy
form and the material used in the solicitation of proxies will be paid by the
Company. The Company does not expect that the solicitation will be made by
specially engaged employees or paid solicitors. Although the Company might use
such employees or solicitors if it deems them necessary, no arrangements or
contracts have been made with any such employees or solicitors as of the date of
this statement. In addition to the use of the mails, solicitation may be made by
telephone, telegraph, cable or personal interview. The Company will request
record holders of shares beneficially owned by others to forward this proxy
statement and related materials to the beneficial owners of such shares, and
will reimburse such record holders for their reasonable expenses incurred in
doing so.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PROXIES BE RETURNED PROMPTLY. Whether or not you attend
the meeting, you are urged to execute and return the proxy.

EXHIBIT A
1995 KEY EMPLOYEES' STOCK OPTION PLAN
OF
DUKE REALTY INVESTMENTS, INC.
ARTICLE I
INTRODUCTION
1.1. PURPOSE. The 1995 Key Employees' Stock Option Plan of Duke Realty
Investments, Inc. (the "Plan") is designed to promote the interests of the
Company and its Subsidiaries by encouraging their officers and key employees,
upon whose judgment, initiative and industry the Company and its Subsidiaries
are largely dependent for the successful conduct and growth of their businesses,
to continue their association with the Company and its Subsidiaries by providing
additional incentive and opportunity for unusual industry and efficiency through
stock ownership, and by increasing their proprietary interest in the Company and
their personal interest in its continued success and progress. The Plan provides
for the granting of (i) incentive stock options ("ISO's") and (ii) nonqualified
stock options ("NSO's").
1.2. EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION. The Effective Date of the Plan is
October 1, 1995. Options may be granted under the Plan for a period of ten (10)
years commencing October 1, 1995; however, no options may be exercised until
this Plan has been approved by a majority of the shares of the Company
represented at the shareholders' meeting at which approval of the Plan is
considered. No options shall be granted after September 30, 2005. Upon that
date, the Plan shall expire except as to outstanding options, which options
shall remain in effect until they have been exercised or terminated or have
expired. ISO's must be granted within ten (10) years of the date the Plan is
adopted by the Board of Directors or approved by the shareholders of the
Company, whichever is earlier.
1.3. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The
Committee, from time to time, may adopt any rule or procedure it deems necessary
or desirable for the proper and efficient administration of the Plan provided it
is consistent with the terms of the Plan. The decision of a majority of the
Committee members shall constitute the decision of the Committee. Subject to the
provisions of the Plan, the Committee is authorized (i) to grant ISO's and
NSO's; (ii) to determine the employees to be granted ISO's and NSO's; (iii) to
determine the option period, the option price and, subject to the limitations of
Section 3.2, the number of shares subject to each option; (iv) to determine the
time or times at which options will be granted; (v) to determine the time or
times at which each option becomes exercisable and the duration of the exercise
period; (vi) to determine other conditions and limitations, if any, applicable
to the exercise of each option; and (vii) to determine the nature and duration
of the restrictions, if any, to be imposed upon the sale or other disposition of
shares acquired by any optionee upon exercise of an option, and the nature of
the events, if any, and the duration of the period, in or with respect to which
any optionee's rights to shares acquired upon exercise of an option may be
forfeited. Each option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written
stock option agreement containing terms and conditions established by the
Committee consistent with the provisions of the Plan, including such terms as
the Committee shall deem advisable in order that each ISO shall constitute an
"incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Committee's determinations
and interpretations with respect to the Plan shall be final and binding on all
parties. Any notice or document required to be given to or filed with the
Committee will be properly given or filed if delivered or mailed by certified
mail, postage prepaid, to the Committee at 8888 Keystone Crossing, Suite 1200,

the Plan shall be shares of authorized common stock of the Company and may be
unissued shares or reacquired shares (including shares purchased in the open
market), or a combination of the two, or shares which are not issued in
connection with the Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership 1993 Stock Option
Plan, as the Committee may from time to time determine. Subject to the
provisions of Section 4.2 and the provisions of this Section 3.1, the maximum
number of shares to be delivered upon exercise of all options granted under the
Plan shall not exceed (i) Five Hundred Fifty-Eight Thousand Four Hundred
(558,400) shares and (ii) the number of shares authorized under the Duke Realty

exercise of the options granted under the Plan under clause (ii) of the previous
sentence shall not exceed Four Hundred Thousand (400,000) shares. Shares covered
by an option that remains unpurchased upon the expiration or termination of the
option may be made subject to further options.
3.2. GRANT OF OPTIONS. The Committee shall be responsible for granting all
options under the Plan. The Committee shall also determine, in its sole
discretion, with respect to each optionee, whether the options granted shall be
ISO's or NSO's, or a combination of the two; and whether any employee shall be
given discretion to determine whether any options granted to him shall be ISO's
or NSO's or a combination of the two. Provided, however, notwithstanding any
other Plan provision, during any calendar year, no optionee shall be granted
options to acquire more than twenty five thousand (25,000) shares of Company
stock.
3.3. OPTION PRICE.
(a) ISO OPTION PRICE. The option price per share of stock under each ISO
shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of
the share on the date on which the option is granted; provided, however, as to
officers and key employees who, at the time an ISO is granted, own, within the
meaning of Code Section 425(d), more than ten percent (10%) of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary
(referred to as "Shareholder-Employees"), the purchase price per share of stock
under each ISO shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair
Market Value of the stock on the date on which the option is granted.
A-3
<PAGE>
(b) NSO OPTION PRICE. The option price per share of stock under each NSO
shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion; provided, however, the
option price per share shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the
Fair Market Value of the share on the date on which the option is granted.
3.4. OPTION PERIOD. No option period shall exceed ten (10) years;
provided, however, the option period with respect to ISO's granted to
Shareholder-Employees shall not exceed five (5) years.
3.5. SPECIAL CALENDAR YEAR LIMITATION ON SHARES SUBJECT TO ISO'S. The
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of the grant of the ISO's)
of the stock with respect to which ISO's are exercisable for the first time by
an eligible employee during any calendar year (under all plans providing for the
grant of incentive stock options of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries)
shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).
3.6. SEQUENCE OF EXERCISING INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Any ISO granted to an
employee pursuant to the Plan shall be exercisable even if there are outstanding
previously granted but unexercised ISO's with respect to such employee.
3.7. VESTING OF OPTIONS. All options granted under the Plan shall vest,
and thereby become exercisable at such time or times as shall be determined by
the Committee in its sole discretion. The stock option agreement between the
Company and the optionee shall include the schedule under which the option shall
vest.
3.8. VESTING ON CHANGE IN CONTROL OR DEATH, RETIREMENT OR DISABILITY OF
OPTIONEE. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.7, in the event of a
Change in Control of the Company or upon the death, Permanent and Total
Disability or retirement on or after attaining age sixty-five (65) of the
optionee, any options granted under this Plan may be exercised in full without
regard to any restrictions on the vesting of the options contained in the option
agreement between the Company and the optionee.
3.9. EARLY TERMINATION OF OPTION.
(a) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. All rights to exercise an option shall
terminate ninety (90) days after the effective date of the optionee's
termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, but not later
than the date the option expires pursuant to its terms, unless such termination
is For Cause or is on account of the Permanent and Total Disability or death of
the optionee. Transfer of employment from the Company to a Subsidiary, or vice
versa, or from one Subsidiary to another, shall not be deemed a termination of
employment. The Committee shall have the authority to determine in each case
whether a leave of absence on military or government service shall be deemed a
termination of employment for purposes of this subsection (a).
(b) FOR CAUSE TERMINATION. If an optionee's employment with the Company and
its Subsidiaries is terminated For Cause, no previously unexercised option
granted hereunder may be exercised. Rather, all unexercised options shall
terminate effective on the date the optionee receives notice of his termination
For Cause.
(c) PERMANENT AND TOTAL DISABILITY OR DEATH OF OPTIONEE. If an optionee's
employment terminates due to Permanent and Total Disability or death, his option
shall terminate one (1) year after termination of his employment due to his
Permanent and Total Disability or death (but not later than the date the option
expires pursuant to its terms). During such period, subject to the limitations
of this Plan and the option agreement between the Company and the optionee, the
optionee, his guardian, attorney-in-fact or personal representative, as the case
may be, may exercise the option in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of an ISO, such option shall be exercisable as an ISO only during the three
(3) month period immediately following the optionee's death and in no event
later than the date specified in the stock option agreement. During the
remainder of such one (1) year period, the option may be exercised as an NSO.
A-4
<PAGE>
3.10. PAYMENT FOR STOCK. Full payment for shares purchased hereunder shall
be made at the time the option is exercised. Payment may be made by delivering
to the Company (a) cash; (b) at the discretion of the Committee, whole shares of
common stock of the Company ("Delivered Stock") which (i) has been owned by the
optionee for more than six (6) months and has been paid for, within the meaning
of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such stock was purchased from the Company by use of a
promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect to such stock), or
(ii) was obtained by the optionee in the public market or otherwise than through
the exercise of an option under this Plan or under any other stock option plan
involving Company stock; (c) at the discretion of the Committee, a combination
of cash and Delivered Stock; or (d) provided that a public market for the
Company's common stock exists, (i) through a "same day sale" commitment from the
optionee and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers ("NASD Dealer") whereby the optionee irrevocably elects to
exercise the option and to sell a portion of the common stock so purchased in
order to pay the option price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits
upon receipt of such stock to forward the option price directly to the Company;
or (ii) through a "margin" commitment from the optionee and an NASD Dealer
whereby the optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the option and to pledge the
stock so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan
from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the option price and whereby the NASD
Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such stock to forward the option
price directly to the Company. Delivered Stock shall be valued by the Committee
at its Fair Market Value determined as of the date of the exercise of the
option. No shares shall be issued until full payment for them has been made, and
an optionee shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any
shares until they are issued to him. Upon payment of the full purchase price,
and any required withholding taxes, the Company shall issue a certificate or
certificates to the optionee evidencing ownership of the shares purchased
pursuant to the exercise of the option which contain(s) such terms, conditions
and provisions as may be required and as are consistent with the terms,
conditions and provisions of the Plan and the stock option agreement between the
Company and the optionee.
3.11. INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT TAX WITHHOLDING.
(a) PAYMENT BY OPTIONEE. The optionee shall be solely responsible for
paying to the Company all required federal, state, city and local taxes
applicable to his (i) exercise of an NSO under the Plan and (ii) disposition of
shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO in a disqualifying
disposition of the shares under Code Section 422(a)(1).
(b) NSO WITHHOLDING WITH COMPANY STOCK. Notwithstanding the provisions of
subsection (a), with respect to stock to be issued pursuant to the exercise of
an NSO, the Committee, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it may
adopt, may permit the optionee to satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding
tax obligation which may arise in connection with the exercise of the NSO by
having the Company retain shares of stock which would otherwise be issued in
connection with the exercise of the NSO or accept delivery from the optionee of
shares of Company stock which have a Fair Market Value, determined as of the
date of the delivery of such shares, equal to the amount of the withholding tax
to be satisfied by that retention or delivery.
(c) ISO DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION WITHHOLDING WITH COMPANY
STOCK. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), with respect to shares
of stock to be issued pursuant to the exercise of any ISO, the Committee, in its
discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt, may permit the optionee to
satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding tax obligation which may arise in
connection with the disqualifying disposition of the shares under Code Section
422(a)(1) by having the Company accept delivery from the optionee of shares of
stock having a Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of the delivery of
such shares, equal to the amount of the withholding tax to be satisfied by that
delivery.
A-5
<PAGE>
3.12. NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION. Any ISO granted hereunder shall
require the optionee to notify the Committee of any disposition of any stock
issued pursuant to the exercise of the ISO under the circumstances described in
Section 421(b) of the Code (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions),
within ten (10) days of such disposition.
ARTICLE IV
PLAN ADMINISTRATION AND INTERPRETATION
4.1. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board of Directors or the Committee
may, at any time, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company
(except as otherwise required by applicable law, rule or regulations, or listing
requirements of any National Securities Exchange on which are listed any of the
Company's equity securities, including without limitation any shareholder
approval requirement of Rule 16b-3 or any successor safe harbor rule promulgated
under the Exchange Act), alter, amend, modify, suspend or discontinue the Plan,
but may not, without the consent of the holder of an option, make any alteration
which would adversely affect an option previously granted under the Plan or,
without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, make any alteration
which would: (a) increase the aggregate number of shares subject to options
under the Plan, except as provided in Section 4.2; (b) decrease the minimum
option price, except as provided in Section 4.2; (c) permit any Committee member
to become eligible to receive grants of options under the Plan; (d) withdraw
administration of the Plan from the Committee or the Board of Directors; (e)
extend the term of the Plan or the maximum period during which any option may be
exercised; (f) change the manner of determining the option price; or (g) change
the class of individuals eligible for options under the Plan.
4.2. CHANGES IN STOCK.
(a) SUBSTITUTION OF STOCK AND ASSUMPTION OF PLAN. In the event of any
change in the common stock of the Company through stock dividends, split-ups,
recapitalizations, reclassifications, conversions, or otherwise, or in the event
that other stock shall be converted into or substituted for the present common
stock of the Company as the result of any merger, consolidation, reorganization
or similar transaction which results in a Change in Control of the Company, then
the Committee may make appropriate adjustment or substitution in the aggregate
number, price, and kind of shares available under the Plan and in the number,
price and kind of shares covered under any options granted or to be granted
under the Plan. The Committee's determination in this respect shall be final and
conclusive. Provided, however, that the Company shall not, and shall not permit
its Subsidiaries to, recommend, facilitate or agree or consent to a transaction
or series of transactions which would result in a Change of Control of the
Company unless and until the person or persons or the entity or entities
acquiring or succeeding to the assets or capital stock of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction or transactions agrees to be
bound by the terms of the Plan so far as it pertains to options theretofore
granted but unexercised and agrees to assume and perform the obligations of the
Company hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection
(a), no adjustment shall be made which would operate to reduce the option price
of any ISO below the Fair Market Value of the stock (determined on the date the
option was granted) which is subject to an ISO.
(b) CONVERSION OF STOCK. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company
pursuant to which another person or entity acquires control of the Company (such
other person or entity being the "Successor"), the kind of shares of common
stock which shall be subject to the Plan and to each outstanding option, shall,
automatically by virtue of such Change in Control of the Company, be converted
into and replaced by shares of common stock, or such other class of securities
having rights and preferences no less favorable than common stock of the
Successor, and the number of shares subject to the option and the purchase price
per share upon exercise of the option shall be correspondingly adjusted, so
that, by virtue of such Change in Control of the Company, each optionee shall
have the right to purchase (i) that number of shares of common stock of the
Successor which have a Fair Market Value equal, as of the date of such Change in
Control of the Company, to the Fair Market Value,
A-6
<PAGE>
as of the date of such Change in Control, of the shares of common stock of the
Company theretofore subject to his option, and (ii) for a purchase price per
share which, when multiplied by the number of shares of common stock of the
Successor subject to the option, shall equal the aggregate exercise price at
which the optionee could have acquired all of the shares of common stock of the
Company previously optioned to the optionee.
4.3. INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED BY OPTIONEES. Optionees, or any other
persons entitled to benefits under this Plan, must furnish to the Committee such
documents, evidence, data or other information as the Committee considers
necessary or desirable for the purpose of administering the Plan. The benefits
under the Plan for each optionee, and each other person who is entitled to
benefits hereunder, are to be provided on the condition that he furnish full,
true and complete data, evidence or other information, and that he will promptly
sign any document reasonably related to the administration of the Plan requested
by the Committee.
4.4. EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. Neither the Plan nor any stock option agreement
executed under the Plan shall constitute a contract of employment and
participation in the Plan will not give an optionee the right to be rehired or
retained in the employ of the Company, nor will participation in the Plan give
any optionee any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right
or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan.
4.5. EVIDENCE. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by
certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person relying
thereon considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the
proper party or parties.
4.6. GENDER AND NUMBER. Where the context admits, words in the masculine
gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural shall include the singular
and the singular shall include the plural.
4.7. ACTION BY COMPANY. Any action required of or permitted by the Company
under the Plan shall be by resolution of the Board of Directors or by a person
or persons authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors.
4.8. CONTROLLING LAWS. Except to the extent superseded by laws of the
United States, the laws of Indiana shall be controlling in all matters relating
to the Plan.
4.9. MISTAKE OF FACT. Any mistake of fact or misstatement of fact shall be
corrected when it becomes known and proper adjustment made by reason thereof.
4.10. SEVERABILITY. In the event any provisions of the Plan shall be held
to be illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and
endorsed as if such illegal or invalid provisions had never been contained in
the Plan.
4.11. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of the sections of this
Plan are inserted for convenience of reference and identification only and do
not constitute a part of this Plan for purposes of interpretation.
4.12. NONTRANSFERABILITY. No option shall be transferable, except by the
optionee's will or the laws of descent and distribution. During the optionee's
lifetime, his option shall be exercisable (to the extent exercisable) only by
him. The option and any rights and privileges pertaining thereto shall not be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by him in any way, whether by
operation of law or otherwise and shall not be subject to execution, attachment
or similar process.
4.13. LIABILITY. No member of the Board of Directors or the Committee or
any officer or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be personally
liable for any action, omission or determination made in good faith in
connection with the Plan. Each optionee, in the stock option agreement between
him and the Company, shall agree to release and hold harmless the Company, the
A-7
<PAGE>
Board of Directors, the Committee and all officers and employees of the Company
and its Subsidiaries from and against any tax liability, including without
limitation interest and penalties, incurred by the optionee in connection with
his participation in the Plan.
4.14. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. Unless the shares subject to an option
are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, each optionee, in the stock
option agreement between the Company and the optionee, shall agree for himself
and his legal representatives that any and all shares of common stock purchased
upon the exercise of the option shall be acquired for investment and not with a
view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of those shares. Any
share issued pursuant to an exercise of an option subject to this investment
representation shall bear a legend evidencing this restriction.
4.15. USE OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale
of stock pursuant to the Plan will be used for general corporate purposes,
including without limitation the purchase by the Company of additional limited
partnership units in Duke Realty Limited Partnership.

B-2
<PAGE>
delivered upon the exercise of all Units granted under the Plan shall not exceed
One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares. Shares covered by the grant of a Unit
that remains unexercised upon the expiration or termination of the Unit may be
made subject to further grants of Units.
ARTICLE II
ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
Participation in the Plan is limited to those officers and key employees of
the Partnership and its Affiliates who, from time to time, shall be designated
by the Committee. Committee members shall not be eligible to receive grants of
Units under this Plan while serving as Committee members. A designated employee
will become a Participant in the Plan as of the later of the Effective Date or
the date specified by the Committee.
ARTICLE III
BENEFITS
3.1. GRANT OF UNITS. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant one
(1) or more Units to a Participant upon his entry into the Plan. The Committee,
in its sole discretion, may also grant additional Units to a Participant at any
time after the initial grant. Provided, however, notwithstanding any other Plan
provision, during any calendar year, no Participants shall be granted more than
twenty five thousand (25,000) Units.
3.2. EXERCISE OF UNITS. A Participant may exercise his Units subject to
the following requirements:
(a) VESTING OF UNITS: A Participant must be vested in a Unit in order
for that Unit to be exercised. For this purpose, the Committee will specify
the vesting schedule for each Unit it grants at the time of the grant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant will, as of the date of a
Change in Control of the Company or his termination of employment due to
Permanent and Total Disability, retirement on or after attaining age
sixty-five (65) or death, become fully vested in all Units that have been
granted to him.
(b) TIMING OF EXERCISE: A Unit must be exercised on or before the
tenth anniversary of the date on which it was granted. If not exercised on
or before that date, the Unit will expire and be forfeited.
(c) PRIOR EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS. Units may be exercised only to
the extent that the same or a greater number of shares of the Company's
common stock have been acquired by the Participant through the exercise of a
stock option which was granted under the 1995 Key Employees' Stock Option
Plan of Duke Realty Investments, Inc. (the "Stock Option Plan") on the same
date on which the Units were granted. Such acquisition may have been prior
to or simultaneous with the exercise of such Units. For example, if a
Participant was granted an option under the Stock Option Plan to acquire
five hundred (500) shares of the Company's stock on the same date he was
granted two hundred (200) Units under the Plan, the Participant may not
exercise the two hundred (200) Units granted hereunder until he has acquired
at least two hundred (200) shares of stock under that stock option grant.
Thus, if the Participant has acquired (or simultaneously acquires with his
exercise of the Units) one hundred (100) shares under that stock option
grant, he may at any time on or after the date of such acquisition exercise
up to one hundred (100) Units hereunder, as long as all the other Plan
conditions and limitations have been satisfied with respect to such
exercise, including the satisfaction by the Participant of the vesting
requirements applicable to the Units desired to be exercised. Shares of
Company stock acquired by the exercise of an option granted under the Stock
Option Plan on a date other than the date on which the Units were granted
hereunder may not be used as a basis for the exercise of such Units.
B-3
<PAGE>
(d) PRIOR NOTICE OF EXERCISE. The Participant must notify the
Committee of his intent to exercise a Unit by completing an election form
authorized by the Committee and filing such form with the Committee at least
ten (10) business days prior to the requested exercise date.
(e) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. All rights to exercise a Unit shall
terminate ninety (90) days after the effective date of the Participant's
termination of employment with the Partnership and its Affiliates, but not
later than the date the Unit expires pursuant to its terms, unless such
termination is For Cause or is on account of the Permanent and Total
Disability or death of the Participant. Transfer of employment from the
Partnership to an Affiliate, or vice versa, shall not be deemed a
termination of employment. The Committee shall have the authority to
determine in each case whether a leave of absence on military or government
service shall be deemed a termination of employment for purposes of this
subsection (e). However, if a Participant's employment terminates due to
Permanent and Total Disability or death, his right to exercise his Units
shall expire one (1) year after his termination of employment (but not later
than the date the Unit expires pursuant to its terms). During such period,
subject to the limitations of this Plan and the Unit grant, the Participant,
his guardian, attorney-in-fact or personal representative, as the case may
be, may exercise his Unit in full.
(f) FOR CAUSE TERMINATION. If a Participant's employment with the
Partnership and its Affiliates is terminated For Cause, no previously
unexercised Unit granted hereunder may be exercised. Rather, all unexercised
Units shall terminate effective on the date the Participant receives notice
of his termination For Cause.
(g) WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. Each Participant shall be solely responsible
for, and the Partnership will withhold from any amounts payable under this
Plan, all legally required federal, state, city and local taxes. The
Committee, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt, may
permit a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding tax
obligation which may arise in connection with his exercise of Units by
having the Partnership retain shares of stock which would otherwise be
issued in connection with the exercise of the Units or accept delivery from
the Participant of shares of Company stock which have a value, determined as
of the date of the delivery of such shares, equal to the amount of
withholding tax to be satisfied by that retention or delivery.
3.3. CALCULATION OF UNIT VALUE. Upon the exercise date, the Unit or Units
being exercised will be valued for all purposes under this Plan in accordance
with the following formula. First, the Per Share Value of a share of the
Company's common stock as of the effective date on which the Unit was granted
will be determined. Second, the quarterly cash dividend rate per share of the
Company's common stock most recently declared prior to the effective date of the
grant will be determined and annualized (multiplied by four). Third, that
annualized cash dividend will be divided by the Per Share Value on the effective
date of the grant to set the grant date dividend yield. Fourth, the quarterly
cash dividend rate per share of the Company's common stock which was most
recently declared on or before the exercise date will be determined and
annualized (multiplied by four). Fifth, the annualized cash dividend on the
effective date of the grant (as determined under the second step) will be
subtracted from the annualized dividend on the exercise date (as determined
under the fourth step) to determine the increase in the annualized cash
dividend. Sixth, the amount of the increase (as determined under the third step)
to establish the Unit's value on the exercise date. For all purposes of this
Plan, if there is no Per Share Value for Company stock on the date on which an
event which requires the stock to be valued, the per share value shall be the
Per Share Value for Company stock on the trading date immediately preceding the
date on which the stock is required to be valued.
For example, if the Per Share Value of a share of Company stock on the
effective date of a Unit's grant was $30.00, the quarterly dividend rate on the
date of grant was $0.49 and the quarterly dividend rate on the date of exercise
was $0.55, then the Unit's value at exercise would be $3.67, determined under
the six steps in the preceding paragraph as follows:
(1) $30.00 [NYSE Closing Price on Date of Grant]
B-4
<PAGE>
(2) $1.96 [$0.49 (Company's Quarterly Cash Dividend on Date of Grant) X
4]
(3) 6.5333% [ (2)/(1) ]
(4) $2.20 [$0.55 (Company's Quarterly Cash Dividend on Date of Exercise)
X 4]
(5) $0.24 [$2.20 - $1.96 = Increase in Annualized Cash Dividend]
(6) $3.67 [ (5)/(3) ]
If the Participant had been granted one hundred (100) Units and he exercised all
of those Units, he would be entitled to receive whole shares of Company common
stock with a value of $367 based on the Per Share Value on the date of exercise.
(The number of shares to be distributed is described under Section 4.2.)
ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS
4.1. TIME OF PAYMENT. The Partnership will pay to each Participant the
value of the Unit or Units, rounded to the nearest whole share of Company common
stock, with respect to which a proper and timely election has been made. Such
payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the exercise date.
4.2. MANNER OF PAYMENT. Distribution of a Participant's benefit under
Section 4.1 will be made in a single lump sum in the form of whole shares of
Company common stock. The number of shares to be issued under this Section 4.2
will be based on the Per Share Value on the exercise date of the Units. For
example, if the Per Share Value on the date of exercise was $50.00 and the
payment amount determined under Section 3.3 (reduced by any tax withholdings
pursuant to Section 3.2(g)) was $367.00, the Participant would be entitled to
receive seven (7) shares of Company stock (367/50 = 7.34). On the other hand, if
the payment amount determined under Section 3.3 (reduced by any tax withholdings
pursuant to Section 3.2(g)) was $380.00, the Participant would be entitled to
receive eight (8) shares of Company stock ($380/50 = 7.60).
4.3. DISTRIBUTION ON CHANGE OF CONTROL. Notwithstanding any other Plan
provision to the contrary, each Participant will be entitled to receive, within
ninety (90) days of a Change in Control of the Company, a lump sum payment, in
cash, of the value of his Units determined under Section 3.3 as of the date of
the Change in Control of the Company. Provided, however no distribution under
the Plan shall be made to a Participant who is a Section 16 Grantee as a result
of a Change in Control of the Company until six (6) months from the date on
which the Units were granted to the Participant. This limitation shall not apply
if the Section 16 Grantee dies or incurs a mental or physical disability which,
in the opinion of the Committee, renders the Section 16 Grantee unable or
incompetent to carry out the job responsibilities which such Section 16 Grantee
held or the tasks to which such Section 16 Grantee was assigned at the time the
disability was incurred, and which is expected to be permanent or of an
indefinite duration.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. The Board of Directors or the Committee
may, at any time, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company
(except as otherwise required by applicable law, rule or regulations, or listing
requirements of any National Securities Exchange on which are listed any of the
Company's equity securities, including without limitation any shareholder
approval requirement of Rule 16b-3 or any successor safe harbor rule promulgated
under the Exchange Act), alter, amend, modify, suspend or discontinue the Plan
but may not, without the consent of the holder of a Unit, make any alteration
which would adversely affect a Unit previously granted under the Plan or,
without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, make any alteration
which would:
B-5
<PAGE>
(a) increase the aggregate number of shares which could be issued pursuant to
the exercise of Units under the Plan, except as provided in Section 5.2; (b)
permit any Committee member to become eligible to receive grants of Units under
the Plan; (c) withdraw administration of the Plan from the Committee or the
Board of Directors; (d) extend the term of the Plan or the maximum period during
which any Unit may be exercised; (e) change the manner of calculating the value
of Units; or (f) change the class of individuals eligible for the grant of Units
under the Plan.
5.2. CHANGES IN STOCK.
(a) SUBSTITUTION OF STOCK AND ASSUMPTION OF PLAN. In the event of any
change in the common stock of the Company through stock dividends, split-ups,
recapitalizations, reclassifications, conversions, or otherwise, or in the event
that other stock shall be converted into or substituted for the present common
stock of the Company as a result of any merger, consolidation, reorganization or
similar transaction which results in a Change in Control of the Company, then
the Committee may make appropriate adjustment or substitution in the aggregate
number, price, and kind of shares to be distributed under the Plan and in the
calculation of a Unit's value provided in Section 3.3. The Committee's
determination in this respect shall be final and conclusive. Provided, however,
that the Partnership shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to,
recommend, facilitate or agree or consent to a transaction or series of
transactions which would result in a Change of Control of the Company unless and
until the person or persons or entity or entities acquiring or succeeding to the
assets or capital stock of the Company or any of its Affiliates as a result of
such transaction or transactions agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan so
far as it pertains to Units theretofore granted but unexercised and agrees to
assume and perform the obligations of the Partnership hereunder.
(b) CONVERSION OF STOCK. In the event of a Change in Control of the
Company pursuant to which another person or entity acquires control of the
Company (such other person or entity being the "Successor"), the kind of shares
of common stock which shall be subject to the Plan and to each outstanding Unit,
shall, automatically, by virtue of such Change in Control of the Company, be
converted into and replaced by shares of common stock, or such other class of
securities having rights and preferences no less favorable than common stock of
the Successor, and the calculation of a Unit's value shall be correspondingly
adjusted, so that, by virtue of such Change in Control of the Company, each
Participant shall have the right to receive that number of shares of common
stock of the Successor which have a fair market value equal, as of the date of
such Change in Control of the Company, to the fair market value, as of the date
of such Change in Control of the Company, of the shares of common stock of the
Company to which the Units relate.
5.3. INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED BY PARTICIPANTS. Participants, or any
other persons entitled to benefits under this Plan, must furnish to the
Committee such documents, evidence, data or other information as the Committee
considers necessary or desirable for the purpose of administering the Plan. The
benefits under the Plan for each Participant, and each other person who is
entitled to benefits hereunder, are to be provided on the condition that he
furnish full, true and complete data, evidence or other information, and that he
will promptly sign any document reasonably related to the administration of the
Plan requested by the Committee.
5.4. EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. The Plan does not constitute a contract of
employment and participation in the Plan will not give a Participant the right
to be rehired or retained in the employ of the Partnership, nor will
participation in the Plan give any Participant any right or claim to any benefit
under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the
terms of the Plan.
5.5. EVIDENCE. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by
certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person relying
thereon considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the
proper party or parties.

Partnership under the Plan shall be by resolution of the Board of Directors or
by a person or persons authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors.
5.8. CONTROLLING LAWS. Except to the extent superseded by laws of the
United States, the laws of Indiana shall be controlling in all matters relating
to the Plan.
5.9. MISTAKE OF FACT. Any mistake of fact or misstatement of fact shall be
corrected when it becomes known and proper adjustment made by reason thereof.
5.10. SEVERABILITY. In the event any provisions of the Plan shall be held
to be illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and
endorsed as if such illegal or invalid provisions had never been contained in
the Plan.
5.11. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of the sections of this
Plan are inserted for convenience of reference and identification only and do
not constitute a part of this Plan for purposes of interpretation.
5.12. NONTRANSFERABILITY. No Unit shall be transferable, except by the
Participant's will or the law of descent and distribution. During the
Participant's lifetime, his Unit shall be exercisable (to the extent
exercisable) only by him. The Unit and any rights and privileges pertaining
thereto shall not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by him in
any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise and shall not be subject to
execution, attachment or similar process.
5.13. LIABILITY. No member of the Board of Directors or the Committee or
any officer or employee of the Partnership or its Affiliates shall be personally
liable for any action, omission or determination made in good faith in
connection with the Plan. By participating in the Plan, each Participant agrees
to release and hold harmless the Partnership, the Affiliates (and their
respective directors, officers and employees) and the Committee from and against
any tax liability, including without limitation, interest and penalties,
incurred by the Participant in connection with his participation in the Plan.
5.14. FUNDING. Benefits payable under this Plan to a Participant or to a
beneficiary will be paid by the Partnership from its general assets. Shares of
the Company stock to be distributed hereunder shall be acquired by the
Partnership either directly from the Company, on the open market or a
combination thereof. The Partnership is not required to segregate on its books
or otherwise establish any funding procedure for any amount to be used for the
payment of benefits under this Plan. The Partnership may, however, in its sole
discretion, set funds aside in investments to meet its anticipated obligations
under the Plan. Any such action or set-aside may not be deemed to create a trust
of any kind between the Partnership and any Participant or beneficiary or to
constitute the funding of any Plan benefits. Consequently, any person entitled
to a payment under the Plan will have no rights greater than the rights of any
other unsecured creditor of the Partnership.

BENEFITS
3.1. GRANT OF BONUS AWARD. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may
grant a bonus award to a Participant upon his entry into the Plan. The bonus
award will be a specified dollar amount set by the Committee at the time of the
award. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may also grant additional bonus

Participant in accordance with Article IV after the bonus award's Valuation
Date.
3.3. BONUS AWARD ADJUSTMENT. Each bonus award will be adjusted under this

Shareholder Return during the bonus award's Performance Period to both the S&P
500 Index and the NAREIT Equity REIT Total Return Index to
C-3
<PAGE>
determine the percentile ranking of the Company relative to the companies
comprising these indices, 2) establishing a payout percentage for each of the
two indices by determining the payout percentage that corresponds to the
percentile ranking as listed in the following table:
<TABLE>

80%........................................................................... 230%
85%........................................................................... 265%
90% or higher................................................................. 300%
</TABLE>
- ------------------------
*Payout percentages shall be interpolated. For example, a percentile ranking of
67% will result in a payout percentage of 142%.
and 3) calculating the simple average of the two (2) payout percentages. If one
(1) or both of the indices are changed or eliminated, the Committee may, in its
sole discretion, substitute another index or multiple indices for the revised or
eliminated index.
3.4. BONUS AWARD ADJUSTMENT EXAMPLE. If the Per Share Value of the
Company's common stock was $45.00 on the Valuation Date, $30.00 on the Grant
Date, with 12 dividends as shown below, the Total Shareholder Return would be
178.93%, determined as follows:

- ------------------------
(1) Assumes 1,000 shares owned at inception for calculation purposes.
Value at Valuation Date $53,680.01
Value at Grant Date $30,000.00
Percentage Increase 178.93%
If the percentile ranking for this increase in Total Shareholder Return on the
S&P 500 Index is 50 (a payout percentage of 50%), and the percentile ranking for
the increase in Total Shareholder Return on
C-4
<PAGE>
the NAREIT Equity REIT Total Return Index is 65 (a payout percentage of 130%),
the adjusted bonus award for a Participant who was granted a $40,000 bonus award
would be $36,000, which is the bonus award ($40,000) multiplied by the combined
payout percentage of 90% ([50% + 130%]/2).
3.5. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. Each Participant shall be solely responsible
for, and the Partnership will withhold from any amounts payable under this Plan,
all legally required federal, state, city and local taxes. To the extent
possible, any withholdings will be made from the cash component of the lump sum
payment made under Article IV. However, the Committee, in its discretion and
subject to such rules as it may adopt, may permit a Participant to satisfy, in
whole or in part, any withholding tax obligation which may arise hereunder by
having the Partnership retain shares of stock which would otherwise be issued in
connection therewith or accept delivery from the Participant of shares of
Company stock which have a value, determined as of the date of the delivery of
such shares, equal to the amount of withholding tax to be satisfied by that
retention or delivery.
3.6. EARLY TERMINATION OF BONUS AWARD. If a Participant terminates
employment prior to a Valuation Date, all rights to receive any bonus award
which would have otherwise been payable on the Valuation Date shall expire and
be forfeited unless such termination is on account of the Permanent and Total
Disability or death of the Participant or is after the Participant has attained
age sixty-five (65). Transfer of employment from the Partnership to an
Affiliate, or vice versa, shall not be deemed a termination of employment. The
Committee shall have the authority to determine in each case whether a leave or
absence on military or government service shall be deemed a termination of
employment for purposes of this Section 3.6.
3.7. PERMANENT AND TOTAL DISABILITY, RETIREMENT OR DEATH OF
PARTICIPANT. If a Participant's employment terminates due to his Permanent and
Total Disability, retirement on or after age sixty-five (65) or death prior to
the Valuation Date applicable to a bonus award, the Participant will become
fully vested in such award on his termination. However, payment of the
Participant's bonus award shall be made as soon as practicable following the
date on which the bonus award would have been paid if his employment had not
terminated due to Permanent and Total Disability, retirement or death and shall
be paid to the Participant, his guardian, attorney-in-fact, or personal
representative, as the case may be.
ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS
4.1. TIME OF PAYMENT. The Partnership will pay to each Participant the
bonus award amount, as adjusted, as soon as practicable following the award's
Valuation Date.
4.2. MANNER OF PAYMENT. Distribution of a Participant's benefit under
Section 4.1 will be made in a single lump sum, fifty percent (50%) of which will
be comprised of whole shares of Company common stock and the balance of which
will be comprised of cash. The number of shares of stock to be issued under this
Section 4.2 will be based on the Per Share Value on the Valuation Date rounded
to the nearest whole share.
4.3. DISTRIBUTION ON CHANGE OF CONTROL. Notwithstanding any other Plan
provision to the contrary, each Participant will be entitled to receive, within
ninety (90) days of a Change in Control of the Company, a lump sum payment, in
cash, of the greater of (i) the dollar amount of his bonus awards specified by
the Committee under Section 3.1 or (ii) the value of his bonus awards as
adjusted under Section 3.3, calculated as if the Valuation Date was the date of
the Change in Control of the Company. Provided, however, no distribution under
the Plan shall be made to a Participant who is a Section 16 Grantee as a result
of a Change in Control of the Company until six (6) months from the date on
which the bonus award was granted to the Participant. This limitation shall not
apply if the Section 16 Grantee dies or incurs a mental or physical disability
which, in the opinion of the Committee, renders
C-5
<PAGE>
the Section 16 Grantee unable or incompetent to carry out the job
responsibilities which such Section 16 Grantee held or the tasks to which such
Section 16 Grantee was assigned at the time the disability was incurred, and
which is expected to be permanent or of an indefinite duration.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. The Board of Directors or the Committee
may, at any time, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company
(except as otherwise required by applicable law, rule or regulations, or listing
requirements of any National Securities Exchange on which are listed any of the
Company's equity securities, including without limitation any shareholder
approval requirement of Rule 16b-3 or any successor safe harbor rule promulgated
under the Exchange Act), alter, amend, modify, suspend or discontinue the Plan,
but may not, without the consent of a Participant, make any alteration which
would adversely affect a bonus award previously granted under the Plan or,
without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, make any alteration
which would: (a) increase the aggregate number of shares subject to bonus award
grants under the Plan, except as provided in Section 5.2; (b) permit any
Committee member to become eligible to receive grants of bonus awards under the
Plan; (c) withdraw administration of the Plan from the Committee or the Board of
Directors; (d) extend the term of the Plan or the Valuation Date with respect to
any bonus award granted under the Plan; (e) change the manner of calculating the

(a) SUBSTITUTION OF STOCK AND ASSUMPTION OF PLAN. In the event of any
change in the common stock of the Company through stock dividends, split-ups,
recapitalizations, reclassifications, conversions, or otherwise, or in the event
that other stock shall be converted into or substituted for the present common
stock of the Company as a result of any merger, consolidation, reorganization or
similar transaction which results in a Change in Control of the Company, then
the Committee may make appropriate adjustment or substitution in the aggregate
number, price, and kind of shares to be distributed under the Plan and in the
calculation of the bonus award adjustment provided in Section 3.3. The
Committee's determination in this respect shall be final and conclusive.
Provided, however, that the Partnership shall not, and shall not permit its
Affiliates to, recommend, facilitate or agree or consent to a transaction or
series of transactions which would result in a Change in Control of the Company
unless and until the person or persons or entity or entities acquiring or
succeeding to the assets or capital stock of the Company or any of its
Affiliates as a result of such transaction or transactions agrees to be bound by
the terms of the Plan so far as it pertains to bonus awards theretofore granted
but unpaid and agrees to assume and perform the obligations of the Partnership
hereunder.
(b) CONVERSION OF STOCK. In the event of a Change in Control of the
Company pursuant to which another person or entity acquires control of the
Company (such other person or entity being the "Successor"), the kind of shares
of common stock which shall be subject to the Plan and to each outstanding bonus
award, shall, automatically, by virtue of such Change in Control of the Company,
be converted into and replaced by shares of common stock, or such other class of
securities having rights and preferences no less favorable than common stock of
the Successor, and, if necessary, the calculation of bonus award adjustments
shall be correspondently adjusted, so that, by virtue of such Change in Control
of the Company, each Participant shall have the right to receive that number of
shares of common stock of the Successor and cash which have an aggregate fair
market value, equal, as of the date of such Change in Control of the Company, to
the aggregate fair market value, as of the date of such Change in Control of the
Company, of the shares of common stock of the Company and cash to which the
bonus awards relate.

benefits hereunder, are to be provided on the condition that he furnish full,
true and complete data, evidence or other information, and that he will promptly
sign any document reasonably related to the administration of the Plan requested
by the Committee.
5.4. EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. The Plan does not constitute a contract of
employment and participation in the plan will not give a Participant the right
to be rehired or retained in the employ of the Partnership, nor will
participation in the Plan give any Participant any right or claim to any benefit
under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the
terms of the Plan.
5.5. EVIDENCE. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by
certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person relying
thereon considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the
proper party or parties.

gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural shall include the singular

5.7. ACTION BY PARTNERSHIP. Any action required of or permitted by the
Partnership under the Plan shall be by resolution of the Board of Directors or
by a person or persons authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors.
5.8. CONTROLLING LAWS. Except to the extent superseded by laws of the
United States, the laws of Indiana shall be controlling in all matters relating
to the Plan.
5.9. MISTAKE OF FACT. Any mistake of fact or misstatement of fact shall be
corrected when it becomes known and proper adjustment made by reason thereof.
5.10. SEVERABILITY. In the event any provisions of the Plan shall be held
to be illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts of the plan, and the Plan shall be construed and
endorsed as if such illegal or invalid provisions had never been contained in
the Plan.
5.11. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of the sections of this
Plan are inserted for convenience of reference and identification only and do
not constitute a part of this Plan for purposes of interpretation.
5.12. NONTRANSFERABILITY. No bonus award shall be transferable, except by
the Participant's will or the law of descent and distribution. During the
Participant's lifetime, his bonus award shall be payable only to him. The bonus
award and any rights and privileges pertaining thereto shall not be transferred,
assigned, pledged or hypothecated by him in any way, whether by operation of law
or otherwise and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar
process.
5.13. LIABILITY. By participating in the Plan, each Participant agrees to
release and hold harmless the Partnership, the Affiliates (and their respective
directors, officers and employees) and the Committee, from and against any tax
liability, including without limitation, interest and penalties, incurred by the
Participant in connection with his participation in the Plan.
5.14. FUNDING. Benefits payable under this Plan to a Participant or to a
beneficiary will be paid by the Partnership from its general assets. Shares of
the Company's stock to be distributed hereunder shall be acquired by the
Partnership either directly from the Company, on the open market or a
combination thereof. The Partnership is not required to segregate on its books
or otherwise establish any funding procedure for any amount to be used for the
payment of benefits under this Plan. The Partnership may, however, in its sole

EXHIBIT D
DIRECTORS' STOCK PAYMENT PLAN
OF
DUKE REALTY INVESTMENTS, INC.
1. PURPOSE. The Directors' Stock Payment Plan of Duke Realty Investments,
Inc. (the "Plan") is designed to promote the interests of Duke Realty
Investments, Inc. (the "Company") and its Subsidiaries by increasing the
proprietary interest in the Company of the members of the Company's Board of
Directors (the "Board"). For purposes of the Plan, "Subsidiary" or
"Subsidiaries" means a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, a
majority of the outstanding voting stock, general partnership interests or
membership interests, as the case may be, of which is owned or controlled,
directly or indirectly, by the Company or by one or more other Subsidiaries of
the Company. For the purposes of this definition, "voting stock" means stock
having voting power for the election of directors, or trustees, as the case may
be, whether at all times or only so long as no senior class of stock has such
voting power by reason of any contingency.
2. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan will be administered by the Compensation
Committee of the Board (the "Committee"). The Committee, from time to time, may
adopt any rule or procedure it deems necessary or desirable for the proper and
efficient administration of the Plan, provided it is consistent with the terms
of the Plan. The decision of a majority of the Committee members shall
constitute the decision of the Committee. The Committee's determinations and
interpretations with respect to the Plan shall be final and binding on all
parties. Any notice or document required to be given to or filed with the
Committee will be properly given or filed if delivered or mailed by certified
mail, postage prepaid, to the Committee at 8888 Keystone Crossing, Suite 1200,
Indianapolis, Indiana 46240-2182. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the
contrary, the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(ii)
adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or its successor)
("Act"), and accordingly is intended to be self-governing. To this end, the Plan
requires no discretionary action by any administrative body with regard to any
transaction hereunder. To the extent, if any, that any questions of
interpretation arise, such questions shall be resolved by the Committee.
Transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable
conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or its
successors). To the extent any provision of this Plan or any action by the
Committee or the Board fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void to
the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.
3. ELIGIBILITY. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, each
member of the Board, excluding those directors who are also employees of the
Company or a Subsidiary (a "Director"), shall receive shares of the Company's
common stock under the Plan as described in Section 6. A Director shall cease to
be a Plan participant on the date he ceases to be a Director for any reason.
4. SHARES COVERED BY THE PLAN. The stock to be subject to distribution
under the Plan shall be shares of authorized common stock of the Company and may
be unissued shares or reacquired shares (including shares purchased in the open
market), or a combination of the two, as the Committee may from time to time
determine. Provided, however, subject to the provisions of Section 5 and the
provisions of this Section 4, the maximum number of shares to be distributed
under the Plan shall not exceed Twenty Thousand (20,000) shares.
5. ADJUSTMENTS. If the outstanding shares of stock of the class then
subject to the Plan are increased or decreased, or are changed into or exchanged
for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of one (1) or
more reorganizations, recapitalizations, stock splits, reverse stock splits,
stock dividends, spin-offs and the like, appropriate adjustments shall be made
in the number and/or type of shares or securities for which awards shall
thereafter be granted under the Plan.
6. PLAN BENEFITS. Each Plan participant will be entitled to receive one
hundred fifty (150) shares of common stock of the Company for each full calendar
quarter during which he is actively serving as a Director of the Company. In the
event a participant is a Director for less than a full
D-1
<PAGE>
calendar quarter, the number of shares he shall be entitled to receive hereunder
shall be based on a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the
calendar quarter during which he serves as a Director and the denominator of
which is ninety (90). Distribution of shares shall be made effective as of the
first day of the calendar quarter (January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1)
immediately following the calendar quarter to which the Director's service
relates. Distribution of those shares shall be made on, or as soon as
practicable following, that date.
7. AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE. The Board or the Committee may, at any
time, alter, amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan, provided that (i)
shareholder approval shall be obtained to the extent required to comply with
Rule 16b-3 or any successor exemptive rule under the Act, and (ii) the
provisions of the Plan which designate the individuals eligible to participate
in the Plan and specifying the amount and timing of grants under the Plan shall
not be amended more than once every six (6) months, other than to comply with
amendments to the Internal Revenue Code or the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.
8. LIABILITY. No member of the Board or the Committee or any officer or
employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be personally liable for any
action, omission or determination made in good faith in connection with the
Plan.
9. EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION. This Plan will become effective on the
date it is approved by a majority of the shares of the Company's stock
represented at any annual meeting of the stockholders.
10. TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company shall withhold from any amounts payable
under this Plan all legally required federal, state, city and local taxes.
11. EVIDENCE. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by
certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person relying
thereon considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the
proper party or parties.
12. GENDER AND NUMBER. Where the context admits, words in the masculine
gender shall include the feminine gender, the plural shall include the singular
and the singular shall include the plural.
13. CONTROLLING LAWS. Except to the extent superseded by laws of the
United States, the laws of Indiana shall be controlling in all matters relating
to the Plan.
14. MISTAKE OF FACT. Any mistake of fact or misstatement of fact shall be
corrected when it becomes known and proper adjustment made by reason thereof.
15. SEVERABILITY. In the event any provisions of the Plan shall be held to
be illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and
endorsed as if such illegal or invalid provisions had never been contained in
the Plan.
16. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of the sections of this
Plan are inserted for convenience of reference and identification only and do
not constitute a part of this Plan for purposes of interpretation.
17. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Common stock shall not be issued under the Plan
unless and until counsel for the Company shall be satisfied that any conditions
necessary for such issuance to comply with applicable federal, state or local
tax, securities or other laws or rules or applicable securities exchange
requirements have been fulfilled. In particular, the Company shall not be
required to deliver any shares pursuant to the Plan prior to (i) the admission
of such shares to listing on any stock exchange on which the common stock of the
Company may then be listed, (ii) the completion of such registration or other
qualification of such shares under state or federal law, rule or regulation as
the Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable, and (iii) to the
extent the shares are not so
D-2
<PAGE>
registered or qualified under the law of any applicable jurisdiction, the
receipt by the Company of such representations of the investment intent of the
recipient of the shares as the Company shall require to comply with federal,
state or local securities laws.
