THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment
trust that began operations through a related entity in 1972. At March 31, 1996,
the Company owned direct or indirect interests in a portfolio of 215 in-service
industrial, office and retail properties (the "Properties"), together with over
1,100 acres of land (the "Land") for future development. The Properties consist
of industrial, office and retail properties, located in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois,
Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Tennessee and Wisconsin. As of March 31, 1996, the
Properties consisted of approximately 22.3 million square feet, which were
approximately 93.5% leased to approximately 1,600 tenants.
All of the Company's interests in the Properties and Land are held by, and
substantially all of its operations relating to the Properties and Land are
conducted through, the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds a
100% interest in all but 63 of the Properties and substantially all of the Land.
The Company controls the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner and
owner, as of March 31, 1996, of approximately 86.06% of the outstanding units of
partnership interest of the Operating Partnership ("Units"). Each Unit, other
than those held by the Company, may be exchanged by the holder thereof, subject
to certain holding periods, for one share (subject to certain adjustments) of
the Common Stock. With each such exchange, the number of Units owned by the
Company and, therefore, the Company's percentage interest in the Operating
Partnership, will increase.
In addition to owning the Properties and the Land, the Operating Partnership
also provides services associated with leasing, property management, real estate
development, construction and miscellaneous tenant services (the "Related
Businesses") for the Properties. The Company also provides services associated
with the Related Businesses to third parties and owners of indirectly owned
Properties through Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership on a fee basis.
The Company's experienced staff provides a full range of real estate
services from executive offices headquartered in Indianapolis, and from seven
regional offices located in the Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Decatur,
Detroit, Nashville and St. Louis metropolitan areas.
The Company is an Indiana corporation that was originally incorporated in
the State of Delaware in 1985, and reincorporated in the State of Indiana in
1992. The Operating Partnership is an Indiana limited partnership that was
formed in 1993. The Company's and the Operating Partnership's executive offices
are located at 8888 Keystone Crossing, Suite 1200, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240,
and their telephone number is (317) 574-3531.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company is required, by the terms of the partnership agreement of the
Operating Partnership, to invest the net proceeds of any sale of Common Stock,
Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares in the Operating Partnership in exchange
for additional Units or preferred Units, as the case may be. Unless otherwise
specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company and the Operating
Partnership intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities for
general corporate purposes, including the development and acquisition of
additional rental properties and other acquisition transactions, the payment of
certain outstanding debt, and improvements to certain properties in the
Company's portfolio.
RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The Company's and the Operating Partnership's ratios of earnings to fixed
charges for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were 1.96 and 1.98,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1995 were 2.38 and for the year
ended December 31, 1994 were 2.33. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for
the Company for the year ended December 31, 1993 was 1.58, and for the Operating
Partnership from its formation on October 4, 1993 to December 31, 1993 was 2.51.
3
<PAGE>
For purposes of computing these ratios, earnings have been calculated by
adding fixed charges, excluding capitalized interest, to income (loss) before
gains or losses on property sales and (if applicable) minority interest in the
Operating Partnership. Fixed charges consist (if applicable) of interest costs,
whether expensed or capitalized, the interest component of rental expense and
amortization of debt issuance costs.
Prior to completion of the Company's reorganization in October, 1993, the
Company maintained a different capital structure. As a result, although the
original properties have historically generated positive net cash flow, the
financial statements of the Company show net losses for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 1992 and 1991. Consequently, the computation of the ratio of
earnings to fixed charges for such periods indicates that earnings were
inadequate to cover fixed charges by approximately $0.7 million and $1.8 million
for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
The recapitalization of the Company effected in connection with the
reorganization permitted the Company to significantly deleverage, resulting in
an improved ratio of earnings to fixed charges for periods subsequent to the
reorganization.
DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
The Debt Securities will be issued under an Indenture (the "Indenture"),
between the Operating Partnership and The First National Bank of Chicago, as
trustee. The Indenture is an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part and is available for inspection at the corporate trust
office of the trustee at 14 Wall Street, Eighth Floor, New York, New York 10005
or as described above under "Available Information." The Indenture is subject
to, and governed by, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA").
The statements made hereunder relating to the Indenture and the Debt Securities
to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain provisions thereof and do not
purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety
by reference to, all provisions of the Indenture and such Debt Securities. All
section references appearing herein are to sections of the Indenture, and
capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings
set forth in the Indenture.
GENERAL
The Debt Securities will be direct, unsecured obligations of the Operating
Partnership and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. At March 31, 1996, the total
outstanding debt of the Operating Partnership was $450.4 million, of which
$289.4 million was secured debt and $161.0 million was unsecured debt. The Debt
Securities may be issued without limit as to aggregate principal amount, in one
or more series, in each case as established from time to time in or pursuant to
authority granted by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company as
sole general partner of the Operating Partnership or as established in one or
more indentures supplemental to the Indenture. All Debt Securities of one series
need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may
be reopened, without the consent of the holders of the Debt Securities of such
series, for issuances of additional Debt Securities of such series (Section
301).
The Indenture provides that there may be more than one trustee (the
"Trustee") thereunder, each with respect to one or more series of Debt
Securities. Any Trustee under the Indenture may resign or be removed with
respect to one or more series of Debt Securities, and a successor Trustee may be
appointed to act with respect to such series (Section 608). In the event that
two or more persons are acting as Trustee with respect to different series of
Debt Securities, each such Trustee shall be a trustee of a trust under the
Indenture separate and apart from the trust administered by any other Trustee
(Section 609), and, except as otherwise indicated herein, any action described
herein to be taken by a Trustee may be taken by each such Trustee with respect
to, and only with respect to, the one or more series of Debt Securities for
which it is Trustee under the Indenture.

Securities will bear interest, if any;
(6) the date or dates, or the method for determining such date or dates,
from which any interest will accrue, the dates on which any such
interest will be payable, the record dates for such interest payment
dates, or the method by which any such date shall be determined, the
person to whom such interest shall be payable, and the basis upon which
interest shall be calculated if other than that of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months;
(7) the place or places where the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any, on such Debt Securities will be payable, such Debt
Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
and notices or demands to or upon the Operating Partnership in respect
of such Debt Securities and the Indenture may be served;
(8) the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the
terms and conditions upon which such Debt Securities may be redeemed, as
a whole or in part, at the option of the Operating Partnership, if the
Operating Partnership is to have such an option;
(9) the obligation, if any, of the Operating Partnership to redeem, repay or
purchase such Debt Securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous
provision or at the option of a holder thereof, and the period or
periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms and
conditions upon which such Debt Securities will be redeemed, repaid or
purchased, as a whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation;
(10) if other than U.S. dollars, the currency or currencies in which such
Debt Securities are denominated and payable, which may be a foreign
currency or units of two or more foreign currencies or a composite
currency or currencies, and the terms and conditions relating thereto;
(11) whether the amount of payments of principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest, if any, on such Debt Securities may be determined with
reference to an index, formula or other method (which index, formula or
method may, but need not be, based on a currency, currencies, currency
unit or units or composite currency or currencies) and the manner in
which such amounts shall be determined;
(12) the events of default or covenants of such Debt Securities, to the
extent different from or in addition to those described herein;
(13) whether such Debt Securities will be issued in certificated and/or
book-entry form;
(14) whether such Debt Securities will be in registered or bearer form and,
if in registered form, the denominations thereof if other than $1,000
and any integral multiple thereof and, if in bearer form, the
denominations thereof if other than $5,000 and terms and conditions
relating thereto;
5
<PAGE>
(15) the applicability, if any, of the defeasance and covenant defeasance
provisions described herein, or any modification thereof;
(16) if such Debt Securities are to be issued upon the exercise of debt
warrants, the time, manner and place for such Debt Securities to be
authenticated and delivered;
(17) whether and under what circumstances the Operating Partnership will pay
additional amounts on such Debt Securities in respect of any tax,
assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether the Operating
Partnership will have the option to redeem such Debt Securities in lieu
of making such payment;
(18) with respect to any Debt Securities that provide for optional redemption
or prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events (such as a change of
control of the Operating Partnership), (i) the possible effects of such
provisions on the market price of the Operating Partnership's or the
Company's securities or in deterring certain mergers, tender offers or
other takeover attempts, and the intention of the Operating Partnership
to comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
any other applicable securities laws in connection with such provisions;
(ii) whether the occurrence of the specified events may give rise to
cross-defaults on other indebtedness such that payment on such Debt
Securities may be effectively subordinated; and (iii) the existence of
any limitation on the Operating Partnership's financial or legal ability
to repurchase such Debt Securities upon the occurrence of such an event
(including, if true, the lack of assurance that such a repurchase can be
effected) and the impact, if any, under the Indenture of such a failure,
including whether and under what circumstances such a failure may
constitute an Event of Default; and
(19) any other terms of such Debt Securities.
The Debt Securities may provide for less than the entire principal amount
thereof to be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof
("Original Issue Discount Securities"). If material or applicable, special U.S.
federal income tax, accounting and other considerations applicable to Original
Issue Discount Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement.
Except as described under "Merger, Consolidation or Sale" or as may be set
forth in any Prospectus Supplement, the Indenture does not contain any other
provisions that would limit the ability of the Operating Partnership to incur
indebtedness or that would afford holders of the Debt Securities protection in
the event of (i) a highly leveraged or similar transaction involving the
Operating Partnership, the management of the Operating Partnership or the
Company, or any affiliate of any such party, (ii) a change of control, or (iii)
a reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction involving the
Operating Partnership that may adversely affect the holders of the Debt
Securities. In addition, subject to the limitations set forth under "Merger,
Consolidation or Sale," the Operating Partnership may, in the future, enter into
certain transactions, such as the sale of all or substantially all of its assets
or the merger or consolidation of the Operating Partnership, that would increase
the amount of the Operating Partnership's indebtedness or substantially reduce
or eliminate the Operating Partnership's assets, which may have an adverse
effect on the Operating Partnership's ability to service its indebtedness,
including the Debt Securities. In addition, restrictions on ownership and
transfers of the Company's common stock and preferred stock are designed to
preserve its status as a REIT and, therefore, may act to prevent or hinder a
change of control. See "Description of Common Stock -- Certain Provisions
Affecting Change of Control" and "Description of Preferred Stock -- Restrictions
on Ownership." Reference is made to the applicable Prospectus Supplement for
information with respect to any deletions from, modifications of or additions to
the events of default or covenants that are described below, including any
addition of a covenant or other provision providing event risk or similar
protection.
Reference is made to "-- Certain Covenants" below and to the description of
any additional covenants with respect to a series of Debt Securities in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement. Except as otherwise
6
<PAGE>
described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, compliance with such
covenants generally may not be waived with respect to a series of Debt
Securities by the Board of Directors of the Company as sole general partner of
the Operating Partnership or by the Trustee unless the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities of such series
consent to such waiver, except to the extent that the defeasance and covenant
defeasance provisions of the Indenture described under "-- Discharge, Defeasance
and Covenant Defeasance" below apply to such series of Debt Securities. See "--
Modification of the Indenture."
DENOMINATIONS, INTEREST, REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER
Unless otherwise described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt
Securities of any series which are registered securities, other than registered
securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be
issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and the
Debt Securities which are bearer securities, other than bearer securities issued
in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in
denominations of $5,000 (Section 302).
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on any series of Debt Securities
will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, initially located
at 14 Wall Street, Eighth Floor, New York, New York, 10005, provided that, at
the option of the Operating Partnership, payment of interest may be made by
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the
applicable Security Register or by wire transfer of funds to such Person at an
account maintained within the United States (Sections 301, 307 and 1002).
Any interest not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest
Payment Date with respect to a Debt Security ("Defaulted Interest") will
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the applicable Regular Record
Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name such Debt Security is
registered at the close of business on a special record date (the "Special
Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of such Debt Security not
less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time
in any other lawful manner, all as more completely described in the Indenture.
Subject to certain limitations imposed upon Debt Securities issued in
book-entry form, the Debt Securities of any series will be exchangeable for
other Debt Securities of the same series and of a like aggregate principal
amount and tenor of different authorized denominations upon surrender of such
Debt Securities at the corporate trust office of the Trustee referred to above.
In addition, subject to certain limitations imposed upon Debt Securities issued
in book-entry form, the Debt Securities of any series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer thereof at the corporate trust office of the Trustee
referred to above. Every Debt Security surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of any Debt Securities, but the Trustee or the Operating Partnership
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection therewith (Section 305). If the applicable
Prospectus Supplement refers to any transfer agent (in addition to the Trustee)
initially designated by the Operating Partnership with respect to any series of
Debt Securities, the Operating Partnership may at any time rescind the
designation of any such transfer agent or approve a change in the location
through which any such transfer agent acts, except that Operating Partnership
will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for such
series. The Operating Partnership may at any time designate additional transfer
agents with respect to any series of Debt Securities (Section 1002).
Neither the Operating Partnership nor the Trustee shall be required (i) to
issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security if such Debt
Security may be among those selected for redemption during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before selection of the Debt Securities to be
redeemed and ending at the close of business on (A) if such Debt Securities are
issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant
notice of redemption and (B) if such Debt Securities are issuable as Bearer
Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of
redemption or, if such Debt
7
<PAGE>
Securities are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no
publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Registered Security
to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to
exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except that such a
Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series and
like tenor, PROVIDED that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously
surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Security which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of
the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Debt Security not to be so
repaid (Section 305).
MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE
The Operating Partnership may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all
or substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into, any other entity,
provided that (a) the Operating Partnership shall be the continuing entity, or
the successor entity (if other than the Operating Partnership) formed by or
resulting from any such consolidation or merger or which shall have received the
transfer of such assets shall expressly assume payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on all the Debt Securities and the due and
punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions
contained in the Indenture; (b) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the
Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary as a result thereof as having been
incurred by the Operating Partnership or such Subsidiary at the time of such
transaction, no Event of Default under the Indenture, and no event which, after
notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become such an Event of Default,
shall have occurred and be continuing; and (c) an officer's certificate and
legal opinion covering such conditions shall be delivered to the Trustee
(Sections 801 and 803).
CERTAIN COVENANTS
EXISTENCE. Except as permitted under "Merger, Consolidation or Sale," the
Operating Partnership is required to do or cause to be done all things necessary
to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and
franchises; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Operating Partnership shall not be
required to preserve any right or franchise if it determines that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business and
that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the
Holders of the Debt Securities (Section 1007).
MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES. The Operating Partnership is required to cause
all of its material properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or
the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition,
repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and to cause
to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and
improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Operating Partnership may be
necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be
properly and advantageously conducted at all times; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Operating Partnership and its Subsidiaries shall not be prevented from selling
or otherwise disposing for value their respective properties in the ordinary
course of business (Section 1008).
INSURANCE. The Operating Partnership is required to, and is required to
cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep all of its insurable properties insured
against loss or damage at least equal to their then full insurable value with
financially sound and reputable insurance companies (Section 1009).
PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS. The Operating Partnership is required to
pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or
imposed upon it or any Subsidiary or upon its income, profits or property or
that of any Subsidiary, and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and
supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the
Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Operating
Partnership shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability
or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings (Section
1010).

<PAGE>
PROVISION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The Holders of Debt Securities will be
provided with copies of the annual reports and quarterly reports of the
Operating Partnership. Whether or not the Operating Partnership is subject to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and for so long as any Debt Securities
are outstanding, the Operating Partnership will, to the extent permitted under
the Exchange Act, be required to file with the Commission the annual reports,
quarterly reports and other documents which the Operating Partnership would have
been required to file with the Commission pursuant to such Section 13 or 15(d)
(the "Financial Statements") if the Operating Partnership were so subject, such
documents to be filed with the Commission on or prior to the respective dates
(the "Required Filing Dates") by which the Operating Partnership would have been
required so to file such documents if the Operating Partnership were so subject.
The Operating Partnership will also in any event (x) within 15 days of each
Required Filing Date (i) transmit by mail to all Holders of Debt Securities, as
their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to such
Holders, copies of the annual reports and quarterly reports which the Operating
Partnership would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Operating Partnership were
subject to such Sections and (ii) file with the Trustee copies of the annual
reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Operating Partnership
would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Operating Partnership were subject to such
Sections and (y) if filing such documents by the Operating Partnership with the
Commission is not permitted under the Exchange Act, promptly upon written
request and payment of the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply
copies of such documents to any prospective Holder (Section 1011).
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS. Any additional or different covenants of the
Operating Partnership with respect to any series of Debt Securities will be set
forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT, NOTICE AND WAIVER
The Indenture provides that the following events are "Events of Default"
with respect to any series of Debt Securities issued thereunder: (a) default for
30 days in the payment of any installment of interest on any Debt Security of
such series; (b) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any,
on) any Debt Security of such series at its maturity; (c) default in making any
sinking fund payment as required for any Debt Security of such series; (d)
default in the performance of any other covenant of the Operating Partnership
contained in the Indenture (other than a covenant added to the Indenture solely
for the benefit of a series of Debt Securities issued thereunder other than such
series), such default having continued for 60 days after written notice as
provided in the Indenture; (e) default in the payment of an aggregate principal
amount exceeding $5,000,000 of any evidence of recourse indebtedness of the
Operating Partnership or any mortgage, indenture or other instrument under which
such indebtedness is issued or by which such indebtedness is secured, such
default having occurred after the expiration of any applicable grace period and
having resulted in the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness, but
only if such indebtedness is not discharged or such acceleration is not
rescinded or annulled; (f) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization, or court appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee of the
Operating Partnership or any Significant Subsidiary or any of their respective
property; and (g) any other Event of Default provided with respect to a
particular series of Debt Securities. The term "Significant Subsidiary" means
each significant subsidiary (as defined in Regulation S-X promulgated under the
Securities Act) of the Operating Partnership.
If an Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to Debt Securities
of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every
such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series may declare the principal amount
(or, if the Debt Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be
specified in the terms thereof) of all of the Debt Securities of that series to
be due and payable immediately by written notice thereof to the Operating
Partnership (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders). However, at any time
after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Debt Securities of such
series (or of all Debt Securities then Outstanding under the Indenture, as the
case may be)
9
<PAGE>
has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has
been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities of such series (or of all Debt
Securities then Outstanding under the Indenture, as the case may be) may rescind
and annul such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Operating Partnership
shall have deposited with the applicable Trustee all required payments of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debt Securities of such
series (or of all Debt Securities then Outstanding under the Indenture, as the
case may be), plus certain fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee and (b) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated
principal of (or specified portion thereof), or premium (if any) or interest on
the Debt Securities of such series (or of all Debt Securities then Outstanding
under the Indenture, as the case may be) have been cured or waived as provided
in the Indenture (Section 502). The Indenture also provides that the Holders of
not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities
of any series (or of all Debt Securities then Outstanding under the Indenture,
as the case may be) may waive any past default with respect to such series and
its consequences, except a default (x) in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security or such series or (y) in
respect of a covenant or provision contained in the Indenture that cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt
Security affected thereby (Section 513).
The Trustee will be required to give notice to the Holders of Debt
Securities within 90 days of a default under the Indenture unless such default
has been cured or waived; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee may withhold
notice to the Holders of any series of Debt Securities of any default with
respect to such series (except a default in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security of such series or in the
payment of any sinking fund installment in respect of any Debt Security of such
series) if specified Responsible Officers of the Trustee consider such
withholding to be in the interest of such Holders (Section 601).
The Indenture provides that no Holders of Debt Securities of any series may
institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture
or for any remedy thereunder, except in the case of failure of the Trustee, for
60 days, to act after it has received a written request to institute proceedings
in respect of an Event of Default from the Holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, as well as
an offer of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (Section 507). This
provision will not prevent, however, any holder of Debt Securities from
instituting suit for the enforcement of payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on such Debt Securities at the respective due
dates thereof (Section 508).
Subject to provisions in the Indenture relating to its duties in case of
default, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or
powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders of any
series of Debt Securities then Outstanding under the Indenture, unless such
Holders shall have offered to the Trustee thereunder reasonable security or
indemnity (Section 602). The Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series (or of all Debt
Securities then Outstanding under the Indenture, as the case may be) shall have
the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee, or of exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction which is in conflict with any law or the Indenture, which may involve
the Trustee in personal liability or which may be unduly prejudicial to the
holders of Debt Securities of such series not joining therein (Section 512).
Within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year, the Operating
Partnership must deliver to the Trustee a certificate, signed by one of several
specified officers of the Company, stating whether or not such officer has
knowledge of any default under the Indenture and, if so, specifying each such
default and the nature and status thereof.
MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE
Modifications and amendments of the Indenture will be permitted to be made
only with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of all Outstanding Debt Securities or series of
10
<PAGE>
Outstanding Debt Securities which are affected by such modification or
amendment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such modification or amendment may,
without the consent of the Holder of each such Debt Security affected thereby,
(a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or premium (if any) or any
installment of interest on, any such Debt Security; (b) reduce the principal
amount of, or the rate or amount of interest on, or any premium payable on
redemption of, any such Debt Security, or reduce the amount of principal of an
Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon declaration
of acceleration of the maturity thereof or would be provable in bankruptcy, or
adversely affect any right of repayment of the holder of any such Debt Security;
(c) change the place of payment, or the coin or currency, for payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any such Debt Security; (d) impair
the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with
respect to any such Debt Security; (e) reduce the above-stated percentage of
outstanding Debt Securities of any series necessary to modify or amend the
Indenture, to waive compliance with certain provisions thereof or certain
defaults and consequences thereunder or to reduce the quorum or voting
requirements set forth in the Indenture; or (f) modify any of the foregoing
provisions or any of the provisions relating to the waiver of certain past
defaults or certain covenants, except to increase the required percentage to
effect such action or to provide that certain other provisions may not be
modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of such Debt Security
(Section 902).
The Indenture provides that the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of a series of Outstanding Debt Securities have the right to
waive compliance by the Operating Partnership with certain covenants relating to
such series of Debt Securities in the Indenture (Section 1014).
Modifications and amendments of the Indenture will be permitted to be made
by the Operating Partnership and the Trustee without the consent of any Holder
of Debt Securities for any of the following purposes: (i) to evidence the
succession of another Person to the Operating Partnership as obligor under the
Indenture; (ii) to add to the covenants of the Operating Partnership for the
benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Debt Securities or to surrender
any right or power conferred upon the Operating Partnership in the Indenture;
(iii) to add Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders of all or any
series of Debt Securities; (iv) to add or change any provisions of the Indenture
to facilitate the issuance of, or to liberalize certain terms of, Debt
Securities in bearer form, or to permit or facilitate the issuance of Debt
Securities in uncertificated form, PROVIDED that such action shall not adversely
affect the interests of the Holders of the Debt Securities of any series in any
material respect; (v) to change or eliminate any provisions of the Indenture,
PROVIDED that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when
there are no Debt Securities Outstanding of any series created prior thereto
which are entitled to the benefit of such provision; (vi) to secure the Debt
Securities; (vii) to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any
series; (viii) to provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor
Trustee or facilitate the administration of the trusts under the Indenture by
more than one Trustee; (ix) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in
the Indenture, PROVIDED that such action shall not adversely affect the
interests of Holders of Debt Securities of any series in any material respect;
or (x) to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to the extent
necessary to permit or facilitate defeasance and discharge of any series of such
Debt Securities, PROVIDED that such action shall not adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of the Debt Securities of any series in any material
respect (Section 901).
The Indenture provides that in determining whether the Holders of the
requisite principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities of a series have given
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver
thereunder or whether a quorum is present at a meeting of Holders of Debt
Securities, (i) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that
shall be deemed to be Outstanding shall be the amount of the principal thereof
that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon
declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof, (ii) the principal amount
of a Debt Security denominated in a foreign currency that shall be deemed
Outstanding shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent, determined on the issue date
for such Debt Security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original
Issue Discount Security, the U.S. dollar equivalent on the issue date of such
Debt Security of the amount determined as provided in (i) above), (iii) the
principal amount of an Indexed Security that shall be deemed
11
<PAGE>
Outstanding shall be the principal face amount of such Indexed Security at
original issuance, unless otherwise provided with respect to such Indexed
Security pursuant to the Indenture, and (iv) Debt Securities owned by the
Operating Partnership or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities or any
affiliate of the Operating Partnership or of such other obligor shall be
disregarded.
The Indenture contains provisions for convening meetings of the Holders of
Debt Securities of a series (Section 1501). A meeting will be permitted to be
called at any time by the Trustee, and also, upon request, by the Operating
Partnership or the holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, in any such case upon notice given
as provided in the Indenture (Section 1502). Except for any consent that must be
given by the Holder of each Debt Security affected by certain modifications and
amendments of the Indenture, any resolution presented at a meeting or adjourned
meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present will be permitted to be
adopted by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that,
except as referred to above, any resolution with respect to any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that may be
made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less
than a majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of a
series may be adopted at a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which
a quorum is present by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified
percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that
series. Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of
Debt Securities of any series duly held in accordance with the Indenture will be
binding on all Holders of Debt Securities of that series. The quorum at any
meeting called to adopt a resolution, and at any reconvened meeting, will be
Persons holding or representing a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt Securities of a series; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any action
is to be taken at such meeting with respect to a consent or waiver which may be
given by the Holders of not less than a specified percentage in principal amount
of the Outstanding Debt Securities of a series, the Persons holding or
representing such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
Debt Securities of such series will constitute a quorum (Section 1504).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if any action is to be taken at a
meeting of Holders of Debt Securities of any series with respect to any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that
the Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a
specified percentage in principal amount of all Outstanding Debt Securities
affected thereby, or of the Holders of such series and one or more additional
series: (i) there shall be no minimum quorum requirement for such meeting and
(ii) the principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series that
vote in favor of such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action shall be taken into account in determining
whether such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action has been made, given or taken under the Indenture (Section
1504).
DISCHARGE, DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
The Operating Partnership may discharge certain obligations to Holders of
any series of Debt Securities that have not already been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation and that either have become due and payable or will
become due and payable within one year (or scheduled for redemption within one
year) by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee, in trust, funds in such
currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
currencies in which such Debt Securities are payable in an amount sufficient to
pay the entire indebtedness on such Debt Securities in respect of principal (and
premium, if any) and interest to the date of such deposit (if such Debt
Securities have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption
Date, as the case may be (Sections 1401 and 1404).
The Indenture provides that, if the provisions of Article Fourteen are made
applicable to the Debt Securities of or within any series pursuant to Section
301 of the Indenture, the Operating Partnership may elect either (a) to defease
and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to such Debt
Securities (except for the obligation to pay additional amounts, if any, upon
the occurrence of certain events of tax,
12
<PAGE>
assessment or governmental charge with respect to payments on such Debt
Securities and the obligations to register the transfer or exchange of such Debt
Securities, to replace temporary or mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt
Securities, to maintain an office or agency in respect of such Debt Securities
and to hold moneys for payment in trust) ("defeasance") (Section 1402) or (b) to
be released from its obligations with respect to such Debt Securities under
Sections 1004 to 1011, inclusive, of the Indenture (including the restrictions
described under "Certain Covenants") and its obligations with respect to any
other covenant, and any omission to comply with such obligations shall not
constitute a default or an Event of Default with respect to such Debt Securities
("covenant defeasance") (Section 1403), in either case upon the irrevocable
deposit by the Operating Partnership with the Trustee, in trust, of an amount,
in such currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
currencies in which such Debt Securities are payable at Stated Maturity, or
Government Obligations (as defined below), or both, applicable to such Debt
Securities which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in
accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Debt Securities, and
any mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments thereon, on the scheduled due
dates therefor.
Such a trust will only be permitted to be established if, among other
things, the Operating Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel (as specified in the Indenture) to the effect that the Holders of such
Debt Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income
tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be
subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant
defeasance had not occurred, and such Opinion of Counsel, in the case of
defeasance, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue
Service or a change in applicable United States federal income tax law occurring
after the date of the Indenture (Section 1404).
"Government Obligations" means securities which are (i) direct obligations
of the United States of America or the government which issued the foreign
currency in which the Debt Securities of a particular series are payable, for
the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of
a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality
of the United States of America or such government which issued the foreign
currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are payable, the payment of
which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the
United States of America or such other government, which, in either case, are
not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also
include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with
respect to any such Government Obligation or a specific payment of interest on
or principal of any such Government Obligation held by such custodian for the
account of the holder of a depository receipt, PROVIDED that (except as required
by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount
payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the
custodian in respect of the Government Obligation or the specific payment of
interest on or principal of the Government Obligation evidenced by such
depository receipt.
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, if after
the Operating Partnership has deposited funds and/or Government Obligations to
effect defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to Debt Securities of any
series, (a) the Holder of a Debt Security of such series is entitled to, and
does, elect pursuant to the Indenture or the terms of such Debt Security to
receive payment in a currency, currency unit or composite currency other than
that in which such deposit has been made in respect of such Debt Security, or
(b) a Conversion Event (as defined below) occurs in respect of the currency,
currency unit or composite currency in which such deposit has been made, the
indebtedness represented by such Debt Security shall be deemed to have been, and
will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest on such Debt Security as they become due out
of the proceeds yielded by converting the amount so deposited in respect of such
Debt Security into the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which
such Debt Security becomes payable as a result of such election or such
Conversion Event based on the applicable market exchange rate. "Conversion
Event" means the cessation
13
<PAGE>
of use of (i) a currency, currency unit or composite currency both by the
government of the country which issued such currency and for the settlement of
transactions by a central bank or other public institutions of or within the
international banking community, (ii) the ECU both within the European Monetary
System and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or
within the European Community or (iii) any currency unit or composite currency
other than the ECU for the purposes for which it was established. Unless
otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, all payments of
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on any Debt Security that is
payable in a foreign currency that ceases to be used by its government of
issuance shall be made in U.S. dollars.
In the event the Operating Partnership effects covenant defeasance with
respect to any Debt Securities and such Debt Securities are declared due and
payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Event
of Default described in clause (d) under "Events of Default, Notice and Waiver"
with respect to Sections 1004 to 1011, inclusive, of the Indenture (which
sections would no longer be applicable to such Debt Securities) or described in
clause (g) under "Events of Default, Notice and Waiver" with respect to any
other covenant as to which there has been covenant defeasance, the amount in
such currency, currency unit or composite currency in which such Debt Securities
are payable, and Government Obligations on deposit with the Trustee, will be
sufficient to pay amounts due on such Debt Securities at the time of their
Stated Maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on such Debt
Securities at the time of the acceleration resulting from such Event of Default.
However, the Operating Partnership would remain liable to make payment of such
amounts due at the time of acceleration.
The applicable Prospectus Supplement may further describe the provisions, if
any, permitting such defeasance or covenant defeasance, including any
modifications to the provisions described above, with respect to the Debt
Securities of or within a particular series.
NO CONVERSION RIGHTS
The Debt Securities will not be convertible into or exchangeable for any
capital stock of the Company or equity interest in the Operating Partnership.
GLOBAL SECURITIES
The Debt Securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the
form of one or more global securities (the "Global Securities") that will be
deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary (the "Depositary") identified in
the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to such series. Global Securities
may be issued in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or
permanent form. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to
a series of Debt Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement relating to such series.

(5) The procedures for any auction and remarketing, if any, for such
Preferred Stock;
(6) The provision for a sinking fund, if any, for such Preferred Stock;
(7) The provision for redemption, if applicable, of such Preferred Stock;
(8) Any listing of such Preferred Stock on any securities exchange;
(9) The terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which such Preferred Stock
will be convertible into Common Stock of the Company, including the
conversion price (or manner of calculation thereof);
(10) Whether interests in such Preferred Stock will be represented by
Depositary Shares;
(11) Any other specific terms, preferences, rights, limitations or
restrictions of such Preferred Stock;
(12) A discussion of federal income tax considerations applicable to such

(14) Any limitations on issuance of any series of Preferred Stock ranking
senior to or on a parity with such series of Preferred Stock as to
dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the affairs of the Company; and
(15) Any limitations on direct or beneficial ownership and restrictions on
transfer, in each case as may be appropriate to preserve the status of

RANK
Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement, the Preferred Stock
will, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company, rank (i) senior to all classes or series of Common
Stock of the Company, and to all equity securities ranking junior to such
Preferred Stock; (ii) on a parity with all equity securities issued by the
Company the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank
on a parity with the Preferred Stock; and (iii) junior to all equity securities
issued by the Company the terms of which specifically provide that such equity
securities rank senior to the Preferred Stock. The term "equity securities" does
not include convertible debt securities.
DIVIDENDS
Holders of the Preferred Stock of each series will be entitled to receive,
when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the Company, out of assets
of the Company legally available for payment, cash
15
<PAGE>
dividends at such rates and on such dates as will be set forth in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement. Each such dividend shall be payable to holders of record
as they appear on the share transfer books of the Company on such record dates
as shall be fixed by the board of directors of the Company.
Dividends on any series of the Preferred Stock may be cumulative or
non-cumulative, as provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Dividends,
if cumulative, will be cumulative from and after the date set forth in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement. If the board of directors of the Company fails
to declare a dividend payable on a dividend payment date on any series of the
Preferred Stock for which dividends are non-cumulative, then the holders of such
series of the Preferred Stock will have no right to receive a dividend in
respect of the dividend period ending on such dividend payment date, and the
Company will have no obligation to pay the dividend accrued for such period,
whether or not dividends on such series are declared payable on any future
dividend payment date.
If Preferred Stock of any series is outstanding, no dividends will be
declared or paid or set apart for payment on any capital stock of the Company of
any other series ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with or junior to the
Preferred Stock of such series for any period unless (i) if such series of
Preferred Stock has a cumulative dividend, full cumulative dividends have been
or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for
the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Preferred Stock of such
series for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period or
(ii) if such series of Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend, full
dividends for the then current dividend period have been or contemporaneously
are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof
set apart for such payment on the Preferred Stock of such series. When dividends
are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set
apart) upon Preferred Stock of any series and the shares of any other series of
Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with the Preferred Stock of
such series, all dividends declared upon Preferred Stock of such series and any
other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with such
Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends
declared per share of Preferred Stock of such series and such other series of
Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that
accrued dividends per share on the Preferred Stock of such series (which shall
not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend
periods if such Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) and such
other series of Preferred Stock bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money
in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or
payments on Preferred Stock of such series which may be in arrears.
Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, unless (i) if
such series of Preferred Stock has a cumulative dividend, full cumulative
dividends on the Preferred Stock of such series have been or contemporaneously
are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof
set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current
dividend period, and (ii) if such series of Preferred Stock does not have a
cumulative dividend, full dividends on the Preferred Stock of such series have
been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient
for the payment thereof set apart for payment for the then current dividend
period, no dividends (other than in shares of Common Stock or other capital
shares ranking junior to the Preferred Stock of such series as to dividends and
upon liquidation) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment or other
distribution shall be declared or made upon the Common Stock, or any other
capital shares of the Company ranking junior to or on a parity with the
Preferred Stock of such series as to dividends or upon liquidation, nor shall
any shares of Common Stock, or any other capital shares of the Company ranking
junior to or on a parity with the Preferred Stock of such series as to dividends
or upon liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any
consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for
the redemption of any such shares) by the Company (except by conversion into or
exchange for other capital shares of the Company ranking junior to the Preferred
Stock of such series as to dividends and upon liquidation).
16
<PAGE>
REDEMPTION
If so provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Preferred Stock
will be subject to mandatory redemption or redemption at the option of the
Company, as a whole or in part, in each case upon the terms, at the times and at
the redemption prices set forth in such Prospectus Supplement.
The Prospectus Supplement relating to a series of Preferred Stock that is
subject to mandatory redemption will specify the number of shares of such
Preferred Stock that shall be redeemed by the Company in each year commencing
after a date to be specified, at a redemption price per share to be specified,
together with an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (which
shall not, if such Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend, include
any accumulation in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods) to
the date of redemption. The redemption price may be payable in cash or other
property, as specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. If the
redemption price for Preferred Stock of any series is payable only from the net
proceeds of the issuance of capital shares of the Company, the terms of such
Preferred Stock may provide that, if no such capital shares shall have been
issued or to the extent the net proceeds from any issuance are insufficient to
pay in full the aggregate redemption price then due, such Preferred Stock shall
automatically and mandatorily be converted into the applicable capital shares of
the Company pursuant to conversion provisions specified in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless (i) if such series of Preferred Stock
has a cumulative dividend, full cumulative dividends on all shares of any series
of Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or
declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for
all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period, and (ii) if such
series of Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend, full dividends of
the Preferred Stock of any series have been or contemporaneously are declared
and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for
payment for the then current dividend period, no shares of any series of
Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding Preferred Stock of such
series is simultaneously redeemed; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall
not prevent the purchase or acquisition of Preferred Stock of such series to
preserve the REIT status of the Company or pursuant to a purchase or exchange
offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding Preferred Stock of
such series. In addition, unless (i) if such series of Preferred Stock has a
cumulative dividend, full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of any
series of Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid
or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment
for all past dividends periods and the then current dividend period, and (ii) if
such series of Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend, full
dividends on the Preferred Stock of any series have been or contemporaneously
are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof
set apart for payment for the then current dividend period, the Company shall
not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Preferred
Stock of such series (except by conversion into or exchange for capital shares
of the Company ranking junior to the Preferred Stock of such series as to
dividends and upon liquidation); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall not
prevent the purchase or acquisition of Preferred Stock of such series to
preserve the REIT status of the Company or pursuant to a purchase or exchange
offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding Preferred Stock of
such series.
If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of any series
are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed will be determined by
the Company and such shares may be redeemed pro rata from the holders of record
of such shares in proportion to the number of such shares held or for which
redemption is requested by such holder (with adjustments to avoid redemption of
fractional shares) or by lot in a manner determined by the Company.
Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60
days before the redemption date to each holder of record of Preferred Stock of
any series to be redeemed at the address shown on the share transfer books of
the Company. Each notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number
of
17
<PAGE>
shares and series of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iii) the redemption
price; (iv) the place or places where certificates for such Preferred Stock are
to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) that dividends on the
shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date; and (vi) the
date upon which the holder's conversion rights, if any, as to such shares shall
terminate. If fewer than all the shares of Preferred Stock of any series are to
be redeemed, the notice mailed to each such holder thereof shall also specify
the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed from each such holder. If
notice of redemption of any Preferred Stock has been given and if the funds
necessary for such redemption have been set aside by the Company in trust for
the benefit of the holders of any Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then
from and after the redemption date dividends will cease to accrue on such
Preferred Stock, and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate,
except the right to receive the redemption price.
LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE
Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the affairs of the Company, then, before any distribution or payment shall be
made to the holders of any Common Stock or any other class or series of capital
shares of the Company ranking junior to the Preferred Stock in the distribution
of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the
holders of each series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of
assets of the Company legally available for distribution to shareholders
liquidating distributions in the amount of the liquidation preference per share
(set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement), plus an amount equal to all
dividends accrued and unpaid thereon (which shall not include any accumulation
in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such Preferred
Stock does not have a cumulative dividend). After payment of the full amount of
the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of
Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of
the Company. In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the available assets of the Company are
insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all
outstanding Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares
of other classes or series of capital shares of the Company ranking on a parity
with the Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the
Preferred Stock and all other such classes or series of capital shares shall
share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full
liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively
entitled.
If liquidating distributions shall have been made in full to all holders of
Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed among
the holders of any other classes or series of capital shares ranking junior to
the Preferred Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, according to
their respective rights and preferences and in each case according to their
respective number of shares. For such purposes, the consolidation or merger of
the Company with or into any other corporation, trust or entity, or the sale,
lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of
the Company, shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company.
VOTING RIGHTS
Holders of the Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as
set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law or as
indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
Whenever dividends on any shares of Preferred Stock shall be in arrears for
six or more consecutive quarterly periods, the holders of such shares of
Preferred Stock (voting separately as a class with all other series of preferred
stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable)
will be entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors of the
Company at a special meeting called by the holders of record of at least ten
percent (10%) of any series of Preferred stock so in arrears (unless such
request is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual
or special meeting of the stockholders) or at the next annual meeting of
stockholders, and at each subsequent annual meeting until (i) if such series of
Preferred Stock has a cumulative dividend, all dividends accumulated on such
shares of Preferred Stock for the past dividend periods and the then current
dividend period shall have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for
the payment thereof set aside for payment or (ii) if such series of
18
<PAGE>
Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative dividend, four consecutive quarterly
dividends shall have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof set aside for payment. In such case, the entire board of
directors of the Company will be increased by two directors.
Unless provided otherwise for any series of Preferred Stock, so long as any
shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company will not, without the
affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares
of each series of Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by
proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (such series voting separately as a
class), (i) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of,
any class or series of capital stock ranking prior to such series of Preferred
Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up or reclassify any authorized capital
stock of the Company into such shares, or create, authorize or issue any
obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any
such shares; or (ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Company's
Articles of Incorporation or the Designating Amendment for such series of
Preferred Stock, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise (an "Event"), so
as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting
power of such series of Preferred Stock or the holders thereof; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, with respect to the occurrence of any of the Events set forth in (ii)
above, so long as the Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof
materially unchanged, taking into account that upon the occurrence of an Event,
the Company may not be the surviving entity, the occurrence of any such Event
shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences,
privileges or voting power of holders of Preferred Stock and provided further
that (x) any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock or the
creation or issuance of any other series of Preferred Stock, or (y) any increase
in the amount of authorized shares of such series or any other series of
Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the
Preferred Stock of such series with respect to payment of dividends or the
distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be
deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges
or voting powers.
The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time
when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall
be effected, all outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock shall have
been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been
deposited in trust to effect such redemption.
Under Indiana law, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above,
holders of each series of Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote as a class
upon any proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, whether or not
entitled to vote thereon by the Articles of Incorporation, if the amendment
would (i) increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of such
series; (ii) effect an exchange or reclassification of all or part of the shares
of the series into shares of another series; (iii) effect an exchange or
reclassification, or create the right of exchange, of all or part of the shares
of another class or series into shares of the series; (iv) change the
designation, rights, preferences or limitations of all or a part of the shares
of the series; (v) change the shares of all or part of the series into a
different number of shares of the same series; (vi) create a new series having
rights or preferences with respect to distributions or dissolution that are
prior, superior or substantially equal to the shares of the series; (vii)
increase the rights, preferences or number of authorized shares of any class or
series that, after giving effect to the amendment, have rights or preferences
with respect to distributions or to dissolution that are prior, superior or
substantially equal to the shares of the series; (viii) limit or deny an
existing preemptive right of all or part of the shares of the series; or (ix)
cancel or otherwise affect rights to distributions or dividends that have
accumulated but have not yet been declared on all or part of the shares of the
series.
CONVERSION RIGHTS
The terms and conditions, if any, upon which any series of Preferred Stock
is convertible into shares of Common Stock will be set forth in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement relating thereto. Such terms will include the number of
shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock are convertible,
the conversion price (or manner of calculation thereof), the conversion period,
provisions as to whether
19
<PAGE>
conversion will be at the option of the holders of the Preferred Stock or the
Company, the events requiring an adjustment of the conversion price and
provisions affecting conversion in the event of the redemption of such series of
Preferred Stock.
SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY
As discussed below under "Description of Common Stock -- General,"
applicable Indiana law provides that no shareholder, including holders of
Preferred Stock, shall be personally liable for the acts and obligations of the
Company and that the funds and property of the Company shall be the only
recourse for such acts or obligations.
RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP
As discussed below under "Description of Common Stock -- Certain Provisions
Affecting Change of Control," for the Company to qualify as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), not more than 50% in
value of its outstanding capital shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by
five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities)
during the last half of a taxable year. To assist the Company in meeting this
requirement, the Company may take certain actions to limit the beneficial
ownership, directly or indirectly, by a single person of the Company's
outstanding equity securities, including any Preferred Stock of the Company.
Therefore, the Designating Amendment for each series of Preferred Stock may
contain provisions restricting the ownership and transfer of the Preferred
Stock. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will specify any additional
ownership limitation relating to a series of Preferred Stock.
REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT
The Registrar and Transfer Agent for the Preferred Stock will be set forth
in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES
GENERAL
The Company may issue receipts ("Depositary Receipts") for Depositary
Shares, each of which will represent a fractional interest of a share of a
particular series of Preferred Stock, as specified in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement. Shares of Preferred Stock of each series represented by Depositary
Shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement (each, a "Deposit
Agreement") among the Company, the depositary named therein (a "Preferred Stock
Depositary") and the holders from time to time of the Depositary Receipts.
Subject to the terms of the applicable Deposit Agreement, each owner of a
Depositary Receipt will be entitled, in proportion to the fractional interest of
a share of a particular series of Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary
Shares evidenced by such Depositary Receipt, to all the rights and preferences
of the Preferred Stock represented by such Depositary Shares (including
dividend, voting, conversion, redemption and liquidation rights).
The Depositary Shares will be evidenced by Depositary Receipts issued
pursuant to the applicable Deposit Agreement. Immediately following the issuance
and delivery of the Preferred Stock by the Company to a Preferred Stock
Depositary, the Company will cause such Preferred Stock Depositary to issue, on
behalf of the Company, the Depositary Receipts. Copies of the applicable form of
Deposit Agreement and Depositary Receipt may be obtained from the Company upon
request, and the statements made hereunder relating to Deposit Agreements and
the Depositary Receipts to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain
anticipated provisions thereof and do not purport to be complete and are subject
to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of
the applicable Deposit Agreement and related Depositary Receipts.
DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
A Preferred Stock Depositary will be required to distribute all cash
dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of the applicable
Preferred Stock to the record holders of Depositary Receipts evidencing
20
<PAGE>
the related Depositary Shares in proportion to the number of such Depositary
Receipts owned by such holders, subject to certain obligations of holders to
file proofs, certificates and other information and to pay certain charges and
expenses to such Preferred Stock Depositary.
In the event of a distribution other than in cash, a Preferred Stock
Depositary will be required to distribute property received by it to the record
holders of Depositary Receipts entitled thereto, subject to certain obligations
of holders to file proofs, certificates and other information and to pay certain
charges and expenses to such Preferred Stock Depositary, unless such Preferred
Stock Depositary determines that it is not feasible to make such distribution,
in which case such Preferred Stock Depositary may, with the approval of the
Company, sell such property and distribute the net proceeds from such sale to
such holders.
No distribution will be made in respect of any Depositary Share to the
extent that it represents any Preferred Stock which has been converted or
exchanged.
WITHDRAWAL OF STOCK
Upon surrender of the Depositary Receipts at the corporate trust office of
the applicable Preferred Stock Depositary (unless the related Depositary Shares
have previously been called for redemption or converted), the holders thereof
will be entitled to delivery at such office, to or upon each such holder's
order, of the number of whole or fractional shares of the applicable Preferred
Stock and any money or other property represented by the Depositary Shares
evidenced by such Depositary Receipts. Holders of Depositary Receipts will be
entitled to receive whole or fractional shares of the related Preferred Stock on
the basis of the proportion of Preferred Stock represented by each Depositary
Share as specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, but holders of such
shares of Preferred Stock will not thereafter be entitled to receive Depositary
Shares therefor. If the Depositary Receipts delivered by the holder evidence a
number of Depositary Shares in excess of the number of Depositary Shares
representing the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be withdrawn, the
applicable Preferred Stock Depositary will be required to deliver to such holder
at the same time a new Depositary Receipt evidencing such excess number of
Depositary Shares.
REDEMPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES
Whenever the Company redeems shares of Preferred Stock held by a Preferred
Stock Depositary, such Preferred Stock Depositary will be required to redeem as
of the same redemption date the number of Depositary Shares representing shares
of the Preferred Stock so redeemed, provided the Company shall have paid in full
to such Preferred Stock Depositary the redemption price of the Preferred Stock
to be redeemed plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon
to the date fixed for redemption. The redemption price per Depositary Share will
be equal to the redemption price and any other amounts per share payable with
respect to the Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the Depositary Shares are to
be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be redeemed will be selected pro rata (as
nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional Depositary Shares) or
by any other equitable method determined by the Company that preserves the REIT
status of the Company.
From and after the date fixed for redemption, all dividends in respect of
the shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption will cease to accrue, the
Depositary Shares so called for redemption will no longer be deemed to be
outstanding and all rights of the holders of the Depositary Receipts evidencing
the Depositary Shares so called for redemption will cease, except the right to
receive any moneys payable upon such redemption and any money or other property
to which the holders of such Depositary Receipts were entitled upon such
redemption upon surrender thereof to the applicable Preferred Stock Depositary.
VOTING OF THE PREFERRED STOCK
Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the applicable
Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, a Preferred Stock Depositary will be
required to mail the information contained in such notice of meeting to the
record holders of the Depositary Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares which
represent such Preferred Stock. Each record holder of Depositary Receipts
evidencing Depositary Shares on the record date (which will be the same date as
the record date for the Preferred Stock) will be entitled to
21
<PAGE>
instruct such Preferred Stock Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights
pertaining to the amount of Preferred Stock represented by such holder's
Depositary Shares. Such Preferred Stock Depositary will be required to vote the
amount of Preferred Stock represented by such Depositary Shares in accordance
with such instructions, and the Company will agree to take all reasonable action
which may be deemed necessary by such Preferred Stock Depositary in order to
enable such Preferred Stock Depositary to do so. Such Preferred Stock Depositary
will be required to abstain from voting the amount of Preferred Stock
represented by such Depositary Shares to the extent it does not receive specific
instructions from the holders of Depositary Receipts evidencing such Depositary
Shares. A Preferred Stock Depositary will not be responsible for any failure to
carry out any instruction to vote, or for the manner or effect of any such vote
made, as long as any such action or non-action is in good faith and does not
result from negligence or willful misconduct of such Preferred Stock Depositary.
LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of each Depositary Receipt will be
entitled to the fraction of the liquidation preference accorded each share of
Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Share evidenced by such Depositary
Receipt, as set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK
The Depositary Shares, as such, will not be convertible into Common Stock or
any other securities or property of the Company. Nevertheless, if so specified
in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to an offering of Depositary
Shares, the Depositary Receipts may be surrendered by holders thereof to the
applicable Preferred Stock Depositary with written instructions to such
Preferred Stock Depositary to instruct the Company to cause conversion of the
Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such
Depositary Receipts into whole shares of Common Stock, other shares of Preferred
Stock of the Company or other shares of stock, and the Company will agree that
upon receipt of such instructions and any amounts payable in respect thereof, it
will cause the conversion thereof utilizing the same procedures as those
provided for delivery of Preferred Stock to effect such conversion. If the
Depositary Shares evidenced by a Depositary Receipt are to be converted in part
only, a new Depositary Receipt or Receipts will be issued for any Depositary
Shares not to be converted. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued
upon conversion, and if such conversion will result in a fractional share being
issued, an amount will be paid in cash by the Company equal to the value of the
fractional interest based upon the closing price of the Common Stock on the last
business day prior to the conversion.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF A DEPOSIT AGREEMENT
Any form of Depositary Receipt evidencing Depositary Shares which will
represent Preferred Stock and any provision of a Deposit Agreement will be
permitted at any time to be amended by agreement between the Company and the
applicable Preferred Stock Depositary. However, any amendment that materially
and adversely alters the rights of the holders of Depositary Receipts or that
would be materially and adversely inconsistent with the rights granted to the
holders of the related Preferred Stock will not be effective unless such
amendment has been approved by the existing holders of at least two-thirds of
the applicable Depositary Shares evidenced by the applicable Depositary Receipts
then outstanding. No amendment shall impair the right, subject to certain
anticipated exceptions in the Deposit Agreements, of any holder of Depositary
Receipts to surrender any Depositary Receipt with instructions to deliver to the
holder the related Preferred Stock and all money and other property, if any,
represented thereby, except in order to comply with law. Every holder of an
outstanding Depositary Receipt at the time any such amendment becomes effective
shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such Depositary Receipt, to consent and
agree to such amendment and to be bound by the applicable Deposit Agreement as
amended thereby.
A Deposit Agreement will be permitted to be terminated by the Company upon
not less than 30 days' prior written notice to the applicable Preferred Stock
Depositary if (i) such termination is necessary to preserve the Company's status
as a REIT or (ii) a majority of each series of Preferred Stock affected by such
22
<PAGE>
termination consents to such termination, whereupon such Preferred Stock
Depositary will be required to deliver or make available to each holder of
Depositary Receipts, upon surrender of the Depositary Receipts held by such
holder, such number of whole or fractional shares of Preferred Stock as are
represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Depositary Receipts
together with any other property held by such Preferred Stock Depositary with
respect to such Depositary Receipts. The Company will agree that if a Deposit
Agreement is terminated to preserve the Company's status as a REIT, then the
Company will use its best efforts to list the Preferred Stock issued upon
surrender of the related Depositary Shares on a national securities exchange. In
addition, a Deposit Agreement will automatically terminate if (i) all
outstanding Depositary Shares thereunder shall have been redeemed, (ii) there
shall have been a final distribution in respect of the related Preferred Stock
in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and
such distribution shall have been distributed to the holders of Depositary
Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares representing such Preferred Stock or
(iii) each share of the related Preferred Stock shall have been converted into
stock of the Company not so represented by Depositary Shares.
CHARGES OF A PREFERRED STOCK DEPOSITARY
The Company will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges
arising solely from the existence of a Deposit Agreement. In addition, the
Company will pay the fees and expenses of a Preferred Stock Depositary in
connection with the performance of its duties under a Deposit Agreement.
However, holders of Depositary Receipts will pay the fees and expenses of a
Preferred Stock Depositary for any duties requested by such holders to be
performed which are outside of those expressly provided for in the applicable
Deposit Agreement.
RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF DEPOSITARY
A Preferred Stock Depositary will be permitted to resign at any time by
delivering to the Company notice of its election to do so, and the Company will
be permitted at any time to remove a Preferred Stock Depositary, any such
resignation or removal to take effect upon the appointment of a successor
Preferred Stock Depositary. A successor Preferred Stock Depositary will be
required to be appointed within 60 days after delivery of the notice of
resignation or removal and will be required to be a bank or trust company having
its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000.
MISCELLANEOUS
A Preferred Stock Depositary will be required to forward to holders of
Depositary Receipts any reports and communications from the Company which are
received by such Preferred Stock Depositary with respect to the related
Preferred Stock.
Neither a Preferred Stock Depositary nor the Company will be liable if it is
prevented from or delayed in, by law or any circumstances beyond its control,
performing its obligations under a Deposit Agreement. The obligations of the
Company and a Preferred Stock Depositary under a Deposit Agreement will be
limited to performing their duties thereunder in good faith and without
negligence (in the case of any action or inaction in the voting of Preferred
Stock represented by the applicable Depositary Shares), gross negligence or
willful misconduct, and neither the Company nor any applicable Preferred Stock
Depositary will be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in
respect of any Depositary Receipts. Depositary Shares or shares of Preferred
Stock represented thereby unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. The
Company and any Preferred Stock Depositary will be permitted to rely on written
advice of counsel or accountants, or information provided by persons presenting
shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby for deposit, holders of Depositary
Receipts or other persons believed in good faith to be competent to give such
information, and on documents believed in good faith to be genuine and signed by
a proper party.
In the event a Preferred Stock Depositary shall receive conflicting claims,
requests or instructions from any holders of Depositary Receipts, on the one
hand, and the Company, on the other hand, such Preferred Stock Depositary shall
be entitled to act on such claims, requests or instructions received from the
Company.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
GENERAL
The authorized capital stock of the Company includes 45,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, $.01 par value per share. Each outstanding share of Common Stock
entitles the holder to one vote on all matters presented to shareholders for a
vote. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights. At March 31, 1996,
there were 28,152,979 shares of Common Stock outstanding, 4,558,457 shares
reserved for issuance upon exchange of outstanding Units and 989,107 shares
reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding stock options.
Shares of Common Stock currently outstanding are listed for trading on the
New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"). The Company will apply to the NYSE to list
the additional shares of Common Stock to be sold pursuant to any Prospectus
Supplement, and the Company anticipates that such shares will be so listed.
The Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide for the board of
directors to be divided into three classes of directors, each class to consist
as nearly as possible of one-third of the directors. At each annual meeting of
shareholders, the class of directors to be elected at such meeting will be
elected for a three-year term and the directors in the other two classes will
continue in office. The overall effect of the provisions in the Articles of
Incorporation with respect to the classified board may be to render more
difficult a change of control of the Company or removal of incumbent management.
Holders of Common Stock have no right to cumulative voting for the election of
directors. Consequently, at each annual meeting of shareholders, the holders of
a plurality of the shares of Common Stock are able to elect all of the
successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting.
Directors may be removed only for cause and only with the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in the
election of directors.
All shares of Common Stock issued will be duly authorized, fully paid, and
non-assessable. Distributions may be paid to the holders of Common Stock if and
when declared by the board of directors of the Company out of funds legally
available therefor. The Company intends to continue to pay quarterly dividends.
Under Indiana law, shareholders are generally not liable for the Company's
debts or obligations. If the Company is liquidated, subject to the right of any
holders of preferred stock, if any, to receive preferential distributions, each
outstanding share of Common Stock will be entitled to participate pro rata in
the assets remaining after payment of, or adequate provision for, all known
debts and liabilities of the Company.
CERTAIN PROVISIONS AFFECTING CHANGE OF CONTROL
GENERAL. Pursuant to Indiana law, the Company cannot merge with or sell all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company, except pursuant to a
resolution approved by shareholders holding a majority of the shares voting on
the resolution. The Company's Articles of Incorporation also contain provisions
which may discourage certain types of transactions involving an actual or
threatened change of control of the Company, including: (i) a requirement that,
in the case of certain mergers, sales of assets, liquidations or dissolutions,
or reclassifications or recapitalizations involving persons owning 10% or more
of the capital stock of the Company, such transactions be approved by a vote of
the holders of 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company or three-fourths of the continuing directors, or provide for payment of
a price to affected shareholders for their shares not less than as specified in
the Articles of Incorporation; (ii) a requirement that any amendment or
alteration of certain provisions of the Articles of Incorporation affecting
change of control be approved by the holders of 80% of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Company; and (iii) a staggered board of
directors and a limitation on removal of directors to removal for cause as
described above.
The partnership agreement for the Operating Partnership also contains
provisions which could discourage transactions involving an actual or threatened
change of control of the Company, including (i) a requirement that holders of at
least 90% of the outstanding Units held by the Company and other Unit holders
approve any voluntary sale, exchange or other disposition, including merger or
consolidation (other
24
<PAGE>
than a disposition occurring upon a financing or refinancing of the Operating
Partnership), of all or substantially all of the assets of the Operating
Partnership in a single transaction or a series of related transactions; (ii) a
restriction against any assignment or transfer by the Company of its interest in
the Operating Partnership; and (iii) a requirement that holders of more than 90%
of the Units approve any merger, consolidation or other combination of the
Company with or into another entity, or sale of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets, or any reclassification or recapitalization or change of
outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than certain changes in par value,
stock splits, stock dividends or combinations) unless after the transaction
substantially all of the assets of the surviving entity are contributed to the
Operating Partnership in exchange for Units. On these matters, the Company's
Units will be voted at the discretion of the directors of the Company who are
not officers or employees of the Company and do not hold Units.
OWNERSHIP LIMITS. For the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Code, no
more than 50% in value of its outstanding capital shares may be owned, directly
or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include
certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year or during a
proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. The Common Stock must also be
beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable
year or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. Because the
Company expects to continue to qualify as a REIT, the Articles of Incorporation
of the Company contain restrictions on the acquisition of Common Stock intended
to ensure compliance with these requirements.
The Articles of Incorporation contain a restriction which authorizes, but
does not require, the board of directors to refuse to give effect to a transfer
of Common Stock which, in its opinion, might jeopardize the status of the
Company as a REIT. This provision also renders null and void any purported
acquisition of shares which would result in the disqualification of the Company
as a REIT. The provision also gives the board of directors the authority to take
such actions as it deems advisable to enforce the provision. Such actions might
include, but are not limited to, refusing to give effect to, or seeking to
enjoin, a transfer which might jeopardize the Company's status as a REIT. The
provision also requires any shareholder to provide the Company such information
regarding his direct and indirect ownership of Common Stock as the Company may
reasonably require.
REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT
The Registrar and Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, New York, New York.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Company and the Operating Partnership may sell Securities to or through
underwriters, and also may sell Securities directly to other purchasers or
through agents.
The distribution of the Securities may be effected from time to time in one
or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
In connection with the sale of Securities, underwriters may receive
compensation from the Company, from the Operating Partnership or from purchasers
of Securities, for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts,
concessions, or commissions. Underwriters may sell Securities to or through
dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts,
concessions, or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the
purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers, and agents
that participate in the distribution of Securities may be deemed to be
underwriters, and any discounts or commissions they receive from the Company or
the Operating Partnership, and any profit on the resale of Securities they
realize may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions, under the
Securities Act. Any such underwriter or agent will be identified, and any such
compensation received from the Company or the Operating Partnership will be
described, in the Prospectus Supplement.
25
<PAGE>
Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, each series
of Securities will be a new issue with no established trading market, other than
the Common Stock which is listed on the NYSE. Any shares of Common Stock sold
pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement will be listed on such exchange, subject to
official notice of issuance. The Company or the Operating Partnership may elect
to list any series of Debt Securities, Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares on
an exchange, but neither is obligated to do so. It is possible that one or more
underwriters may make a market in a series of Securities, but will not be
obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without
notice. Therefore, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading
market for the Securities.
Under agreements the Company and the Operating Partnership may enter into,
underwriters, dealers, and agents who participate in the distribution of
Securities may be entitled to indemnification by the Company or the Operating
Partnership against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform
services for, or be customers of, the Company or the Operating Partnership in
the ordinary course of business.
If so indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company or the
Operating Partnership, as the case may be, will authorize underwriters or other
persons acting as the Company's or the Operating Partnership's agents to solicit
offers by certain institutions to purchase Securities from the Company or the
Operating Partnership pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery
on a future date. Institutions with which such contracts may be made include
commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment
companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but in all cases
such institutions must be approved by the Company or the Operating Partnership,
as the case may be. The obligations of any purchaser under any such contract
will be subject to the condition that the purchase of the Securities shall not
at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to
which such purchaser is subject. The underwriters and such other agents will not
have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such
contracts.
LEGAL OPINIONS
The legality of the Securities offered hereby is being passed upon for the
Company by Bose McKinney & Evans, Indianapolis, Indiana. John W. Wynne and
Darell E. Zink, Jr., officers and directors of the Company, were partners in
Bose McKinney & Evans through 1987 and 1982, respectively, and were of counsel
to that firm until December, 1990. The spouse of Dayle M. Eby, an officer and
shareholder of the Company, is a partner in Bose McKinney & Evans. Rogers &
Wells, New York, New York will act as counsel to any underwriters, dealers or
agents.
EXPERTS
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedules of the Company and of
the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995, each incorporated herein
by reference have been incorporated herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP, independent certified public accountants, also incorporated by
reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting
and auditing.
With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the periods
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, incorporated by reference herein, the independent
certified public accountants have reported that they applied limited procedures
in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information.
However, their separate reports included in the Company's and the Operating
Partnership's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
1996, and incorporated by reference herein, state that they did not audit and
they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information.
Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information should
be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied.
The accountants are not subject to the liability provisions of section 11 of the
Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on the unaudited interim financial
information because those reports are not a "report" or a "part" of the
registration statement prepared or certified by the accountants within the
meaning of sections 7 and 11 of such Act.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company is an Indiana corporation. The Company's officers and directors
are and will be indemnified under Indiana law, the Articles of Incorporation of
the Company, and the partnership agreements of the Operating Partnership and
Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership against certain liabilities. Chapter 37
of The Indiana Business Corporation Law (the "IBCL") requires a corporation,
unless its articles of incorporation provide otherwise, to indemnify a director
or an officer of the corporation who is wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in the defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and
whether formal or informal, against reasonable expenses, including counsel fees,
incurred in connection with the proceeding. The Company's Articles of
Incorporation do not contain any provision prohibiting such indemnification.
The IBCL also permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer,
employee or agent who is made a party to a proceeding because the person was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against liability
incurred in the proceeding if (i) the individual's conduct was in good faith and
(ii) the individual reasonably believed (A) in the case of conduct in the
individual's official capacity with the corporation that the conduct was in the
corporation's best interests and (B) in all other cases that the individual's
conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests and (iii)
in the case of a criminal proceeding, the individual either (A) had reasonable
cause to believe the individual's conduct was lawful or (B) had no reasonable
cause to believe the individual's conduct was unlawful. The IBCL also permits a
corporation to pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred before the
final disposition of the proceeding and permits a court of competent
jurisdiction to order a corporation to indemnify a director or officer if the
court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification in view or all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the
person met the standards for indemnification otherwise provided in the IBCL.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide for certain additional
limitations of liability and indemnification. Section 13.01 of the Articles of
Incorporation provides that a director shall not be personally liable to the
Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as
a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) for voting for or assenting to an unlawful distribution, or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 13.02 of the Articles of Incorporation generally provides that any
director or officer of the Company or any person who is serving at the request
of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity shall
be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized
by the IBCL against all expense, liability
II-1
<PAGE>
and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines certain employee benefits
excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement)
reasonably incurred or suffered in connection with a civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding to which such person
is a party by reason of the person's service with or at the request of the
Company. Section 13.02 of the Articles of Incorporation also provides such
persons with certain rights to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in
defending any such proceeding in advance of the final disposition and the right
to enforce indemnification claims against the Company by bringing suit against
the Company.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize the Company to maintain
insurance to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would
have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss
under the IBCL.
Each of the partnership agreements for the Operating Partnership and Duke
Realty Services Limited Partnership also provides for indemnification of the
Company and its officers and directors to substantially the same extent provided
to officers and directors of the Company in its Articles of Incorporation, and
limits the liability of the Company and its officers and directors to the
Operating Partnership and its partners and to Duke Realty Services Limited
Partnership and its partners, respectively, to substantially the same extent
limited under the Company's Articles of Incorporation.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
Each of the undersigned Registrants hereby undertakes that insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 above, or otherwise, such
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrants of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrants
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, each Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Registrants hereby further undertake:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
the Registration Statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (Section 230.424(b) of 17 C.F.R.) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrants pursuant to section
13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
The undersigned Registrants hereby further undertake that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
of the Registrants' annual reports pursuant to section 13(a) or section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of
II-3
<PAGE>
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
The undersigned Registrants further undertake that:
(a) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), the information omitted from the form of
Prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon
Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the Registrants
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(l) or (4) or 497(h) under the Act shall be deemed to
be part of the Registration Statement as of the time it was declared
effective.
(b) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Indianapolis, Indiana 46240
Dear Sirs:
We are acting as counsel to Duke Realty Investments, Inc., an Indiana
corporation (the "Company"), and Duke Realty Limted Partnership, an Indiana
limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), in connection with the shelf
registration by the Company and the Partnership of $250,000,000 in maximum
aggregate offering price of (i)shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), (ii) shares of the Company's preferred
stock ("Preferred Stock") and (iii) shares of Preferred Stock represented by
depositary shares ("Depositary Shares") and $175,000,000 in maximum aggregate
offering price of debt securities of the Partnership ("Debt Securities"). The
Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Depositary Shares and Debt Securities are the
subject of a Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") filed by the
Company and the Partnership on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
We have examined photostatic copies of the Company's Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and of the
Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended
to date, and such other documents and instruments as we have deemed necessary to
enable us to render the opinion set forth below. We have assumed the conformity
to the originals of all documents submitted to us as photostatic copies, the
authenticity of the originals of such documents, and the genuineness of all
signatures appearing thereon.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
(1) The Common Stock has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
of the Company and when (a) the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of
1933 and such state "blue sky" or securities laws as may be applicable have been
complied with and (b) the shares of Common Stock have been issued, delivered,
and paid for, such shares of Common Stock will be legally issued, fully paid,
and nonassessable.

(2) The Preferred Stock and the representation of such Preferred Stock by
Depositary Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of
the Company and when (a) the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933
and such state "blue sky" or securities laws as may be applicable have been
complied with, (b) the Company's board of directors has adopted and the Company
has duly filed with the Indiana Secretary of State an amendment to its amended
and restated articles of incorporation establishing the preferences, limitations
and relative voting and other rights of each series of Preferred Stock prior to
issuance thereof and (c) the shares of Preferred Stock and, if applicable,
Depositary Shares, have been issued, delivered, and paid for, such shares of
Preferred Stock and, if applicable, Depositary Shares will be legally issued,
fully paid, and nonassessable.
(3) The Debt Securities have been duly authorized by all necessary partnership
action of the Partnership and when (a) the applicable provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933 and such state "blue sky" or securities laws as may be
applicable have been complied with and (b) the Debt Securities have been issued
and delivered for value as contemplated in the Registration Statement, such Debt
Securities will be legally issued and will be binding obligations of the
Partnership.
We do not hold ourselves out as being conversant with the laws of any
jurisdiction other than those of the United States and the State of Indiana and,
therefore, this opinion is limited to the laws of those jurisdictions.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 filed under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the
Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debt Securities and Depository Shares.
Very truly yours,
/s/ BOSE McKINNEY & EVANS
