RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Issuer executed and delivered its Indenture (the "Original Indenture"), dated as of September 19, 1995, to the Trustee to issue from time to time for its lawful purposes debt securities evidencing its unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

WHEREAS, the Original Indenture provides that by means of a supplemental indenture, the Issuer may create one or more series of its debt securities and establish the form and terms and conditions thereof.

WHEREAS, the Issuer intends by this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture to (i) create a series of debt securities, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150,000,000, entitled "Duke Realty Limited Partnership 4.625% Senior Notes due 2013" (the "Notes"); and (ii) establish the form and the terms and conditions of such Notes.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Duke Realty Corporation, the general partner of the Issuer, acting through authority delegated to certain of its executive officers, has approved the creation of the Notes and the form, terms and conditions thereof.

WHEREAS, the consent of Holders to the execution and delivery of this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture is not required, and all other actions required to be taken under the Original Indenture with respect to this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture have been taken.

        NOW, THEREFORE IT IS AGREED:

ARTICLE ONE
Definitions, Creation, Form and Terms and Conditions of the Debt Securities

        SECTION 1.01. Definitions.    Capitalized terms used in this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Indenture. In addition, the following terms shall have the following meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and the plural forms of the terms defined:

"DTC" means The Depository Trust Company.

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

"Indenture" means the Original Indenture as supplemented by this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture.

"Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption or accelerated payment of any Note, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment) that would have been payable in respect of each such dollar if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a semi-annual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed or paid.

"Notes" means the Issuer's 4.625% Senior Notes due May 15, 2013, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

"Redemption Price" means the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Notes.

"Reinvestment Rate" means .20% plus the arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective heading "Week Ending" published in the most recent Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the principal being redeemed or paid. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month. For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

"Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities, or, if such statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated by the Issuer.

        SECTION 1.02. Creation of the Debt Securities.    In accordance with Section 301 of the Original Indenture, the Issuer hereby creates the Notes as a separate series of its debt securities issued pursuant to the Indenture. The Notes shall be issued in an aggregate principal amount initially limited to $150,000,000.

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

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

        SECTION 1.04. Terms and Conditions of the Debt Securities.    The Notes shall be governed by all the terms and conditions of the Original Indenture, as supplemented and modified by this Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture, and in particular, the following provisions shall be terms of the Notes:

(a)

Optional Redemption. The Issuer may redeem the Notes at any time at the option of the Issuer, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to the Redemption Price.

        If notice has been given as provided in the Original Indenture and funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption shall have been made available on the Redemption Date referred to in such notice, such Notes will cease to bear interest on the date fixed for such redemption specified in

2

such notice and the only right of the Holders of the Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price.

        Notice of any optional redemption of any Notes will be given to Holders at their addresses, as shown in the Security Register, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The notice of redemption will specify, among other items, the Redemption Price and the principal amount of the Notes held by such Holder to be redeemed.

        If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at the option of the Issuer, the Issuer will notify the Trustee at least 45 days prior to giving notice of redemption (or such shorter period as is satisfactory to the Trustee) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and their Redemption Date. The Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part.

(b)

Payment of Principal and Interest. Principal and interest payments on interests represented by a Global Note will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of such Global Note. All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes will be made by the Issuer in immediately available funds.



(c)

Applicability of Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The provisions of Article 14 of the Original Indenture shall apply to the Notes.



(d)

Limitations on Incurrence of Debt. (i) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt, other than intercompany Debt (representing Debt to which the only parties are the General Partner, the Issuer and/or any of their Subsidiaries (but only so long as such Debt is held solely by any of the General Partner, the Issuer and any Subsidiary) that is subordinate in right of payment to the Securities) if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 60% of the sum of (x) the Total Assets as of the end of the calendar quarter covered in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (y) any increase in the Total Assets since the end of such quarter including, without limitation, any increase in Total Assets resulting from the incurrence of such additional Debt (such increase together with the Total Assets being referred to as the "Adjusted Total Assets").



(ii)

In addition to the limitation set forth in subsection (i) of this Section 1.04(d), the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if, for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred, the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for the Debt Service to the Annual Service Charge shall have been less than 1.5 to 1, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that (w) such Debt and any other Debt incurred by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Debt, had occurred at the beginning of such period, (x) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had been incurred, repaid or retained at the beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period), (y) any income earned as a result of any increase in Adjusted Total Assets since the end of such four-quarter period had been earned, on an annualized basis, for such period, and (z) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Issuer or any

3

Subsidiary of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period, including, without limitation, by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition or any related repayment of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.

(iii)

In addition to the limitations set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 1.04(d), the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt secured by any mortgage, lien, charge, pledge, encumbrance or security interest of any kind upon any of the property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary (the "Secured Debt"), whether owned at the date hereof or hereafter acquired, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis is greater than 40% of the Adjusted Total Assets.



(iv)

For purposes of this Section 1.04(d), Debt shall be deemed to be "incurred" by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis whenever the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof.



(e)

Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets. The Issuer will maintain Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt of the Issuer.

4.625% Senior Notes due 2013

        Duke Realty Limited Partnership, an Indiana limited partnership (the "Issuer," which term includes any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or its registered assigns, the principal sum of One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars on May 15, 2013 (the "Maturity Date"), and to pay interest thereon from May 22, 2003 (or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for), semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing on November 15, 2003, and on the Maturity Date, at the rate of 4.625% per annum, until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly provided for.

        The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date will be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the "Record Date" for such payment, which will be 15 days (regardless of whether such day is a Business Day (as defined below)) prior to such payment date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Any interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such record date, and shall be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date for the payment of such defaulted interest (which shall be not less than five Business Days (as defined below) prior to the date of the payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of the Notes not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date. Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

        The principal of this Note payable on the Maturity Date will be paid against presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. The Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the City of New York as the office to be maintained by it where Notes may be presented for payment, registration of transfer, or exchange and where notices or demands to

7

or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes or the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof may be served.

        Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, will be the amount of interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or from and including May 22, 2003 in the case of the initial Interest Payment Date) to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), the required payment of interest or principal or both, as the case may be, will be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if it were made on the date such payment was due and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, on which banking institutions in The City of New York are open for business.

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

        Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof. Such further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

        This Note shall not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof or be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee under such Indenture.

(formerly known as The First National Bank of Chicago), as Trustee (hereinafter called the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto relating to this security reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer, and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto. This security is one of a series designated as the 4.625% Senior Notes due May 15, 2013 of the Issuer, limited in aggregate principal amount to $150,000,000.

        The Issuer may redeem this security at any time at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of this security being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to this security (the "Redemption Price").

in the Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Securities of such series (or, in the case of certain defaults or Events of Default, all series of Securities) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series (or all of the Securities, as the case may be) waive any such past default or Event of Default and its consequences, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such Securities, or, subject to certain conditions, may rescind a declaration of acceleration and its consequences with respect to such Securities. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of the security and any securities that may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this security or such other securities.

        No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any Make-Whole Amount and interest on this security in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

        This security is issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Securities may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of securities of this series of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Issuer in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but without the payment of any service charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

        Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of Securities at the office or agency of the Issuer in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, one or more new Securities of the same series of authorized denominations in an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

        The Issuer, the Trustee or any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this security is registered as the absolute owner of this security (whether or not this security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

        The Indenture and each Security shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such state, except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law.

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

Duke Realty Limited Partnership
600 East 96^th Street, Suite 100
Indianapolis, IN 46240

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We are acting as counsel to Duke Realty Limited Partnership, an Indiana limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), in connection with a registration statement on Form S-3, file no. 333-100571 (as amended, the "Registration Statement") filed by the Operating Partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), to register $500 million of the Operating Partnership's debt securities which may be offered from time to time by the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership has filed a prospectus supplement relating to the offering of up to $150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Senior Notes due 2013 (the "Notes"). This opinion letter is supplemental to the opinion letter filed as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement.

        We have examined copies of the indenture and supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Notes are to be issued (collectively, the "Indenture") and have made such further legal and factual examinations and investigations as we, in our professional judgment, have deemed appropriate to render the opinion contained herein. As to various questions of fact material to our opinions, we have relied upon certificates of, or communications with, officers of Duke Realty Corporation, the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership (the "Company"), including but not limited to a certificate of the secretary of the Company rendered in connection with the closing of the sale of the Notes as to actions taken by or on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company.

        In our examination of the aforesaid documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the accuracy and completeness of all documents submitted to us, the authenticity of all original documents, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies (including telecopies). This opinion letter is given, and all statements herein are made, in the context of the foregoing.

        This opinion letter is based as to matters of law solely on the Indiana Business Corporation Law and the Indiana Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. We express no opinion herein as to any other laws, statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations.

        Based upon, subject to and limited by the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, the issuance of the Notes has been duly authorized by the Company as general partner of the Partnership and when (a) the applicable provisions of the Act and such state "blue sky" or securities laws as may be applicable have been complied with and (b) the Notes have been issued and delivered for value as contemplated in the Registration Statement and duly authenticated by the trustee under the Indenture, such Notes will be legally issued and will be binding obligations of the Operating Partnership.

        To the extent that the obligations of the Operating Partnership under the Indenture may be dependent upon such matters, we have assumed the following for purposes of this opinion: (i) the trustee is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by the Indenture; (ii) the

Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the trustee enforceable in accordance with its terms; (iii) the trustee is in compliance, generally and with respect to acting as a trustee under the Indenture, with all applicable laws and regulations; and (iv) the trustee has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under the Indenture.

        The opinion set forth above is subject to the following exceptions, limitations and qualifications: (i) enforceability of the Notes may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) enforceability of the Notes may be limited by general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or law, in the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought; (iii) provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy may be unenforceable; (iv) we express no opinion concerning the enforceability of the waiver of rights or defenses contained in the Indenture; and (v) we express no opinion with respect to whether acceleration of the Notes may affect the collectibility of any portion of the stated principal amount thereof that might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon.

        The opinion expressed herein is as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in applicable law or other matters that may come to our attention after the date hereof that may affect our opinion expressed herein.

        We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are an "expert" within the meaning of the Act.

Very truly yours,
ALSTON & BIRD LLP
