As Representatives of the several Underwriters

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Introductory. Kilroy Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule A (the “Underwriters”) an aggregate of 5,250,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). In addition, the Company has granted to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 787,500 shares (the “Optional Shares”) of Common Stock, as provided in Section 2. The Firm Shares and, if and to the extent such option is exercised, the Optional Shares are collectively called the “Shares.” Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“BofA Merrill Lynch”), Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“J.P. Morgan”) have agreed to act as representatives of the several Underwriters (in such capacity, the “Representatives”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares.

To the extent there are no additional Underwriters listed on Schedule A other than you, the terms Representatives and Underwriters as used herein shall mean you, as Underwriters and Representatives. The terms Representatives and Underwriters shall mean either the singular or the plural as the context requires.

References in this Agreement to “subsidiaries” of the Company shall include, without limitation, the Operating Partnership (as defined below).

The Company and Kilroy Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), hereby confirm their respective agreements with the several Underwriters as follows:

SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Operating Partnership.

The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to, and covenant with, each Underwriter as follows:

(a) The Company and the Operating Partnership have prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-172560 and 333-172560-1), and a related base prospectus dated March 1, 2011 (the “Base Prospectus”), to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of the Shares. Such registration statement, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, at each time of effectiveness under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), including any required information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), is called the “Registration Statement.” Any preliminary prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus that describes the Shares and the offering thereof and is used prior to filing of the Prospectus (as defined below), including, but not limited to, the preliminary prospectus supplement contained in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus (as defined below), is called, together with the Base Prospectus, a “preliminary prospectus.” The term “Prospectus” shall mean the final prospectus supplement dated April 6, 2011 relating to the Shares (the “Prospectus Supplement”), together with the Base Prospectus, that are first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) after the time that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto (the “Execution Time”). Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus (including, but not limited to, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus), the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act; any reference to any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus (including, without limitation, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus) or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after the date of such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, or, in the case of the Registration Statement, after the date of this Agreement, under the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in such preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or the Registration Statement, as the case may be, and shall also be deemed to refer to and include any annual report of the Company filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the effective date of the Registration Statement that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(b) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act and there are no outstanding requests of the Commission for additional or supplemental information. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect, the Commission has not issued any order or notice preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company or the Operating Partnership, are contemplated or threatened by the Commission.

Each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus when filed complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules thereunder. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at each time of effectiveness (including, without limitation, each “new effective date” with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the Securities Act) and at the date hereof, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as of its date, at the date hereof, at the time of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b), at the Closing Date (as defined herein) and at any Subsequent Closing Date (as defined herein), did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The representations and warranties set forth in the two immediately preceding sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership in writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof. There is no contract or other document required to be described in the Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement that has not been described or filed as required.

(c) Documents Incorporated by Reference. The documents incorporated by reference in each of the Disclosure Package (as defined below) and the Prospectus, when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Any documents to be filed and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement to any documents previously filed and incorporated by reference, when such documents become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. None of such documents did or will, as the case may be, as of its respective filing or effective date, as the case may be, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d) Disclosure Package. The term “Disclosure Package” shall mean (i) the Base Prospectus together with the preliminary prospectus supplement dated April 5, 2011 (together, the “Pre-Pricing Prospectus”), (ii) the issuer free writing prospectus or prospectuses (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act), if any, identified in Schedule C hereto (each, an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), (iii) any other free writing prospectus that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package and (iv) the information included on Schedule D hereto including, but not limited to, information regarding the number of Shares being sold and the price at which the Shares will be sold to the public. As of 8:15 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date of this Agreement (the “Applicable Time”), the Disclosure Package

did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership in writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

(e) Company is Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (iii) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Shares in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the Securities Act, and (iv) at the Execution Time of this Agreement (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (iv)), the Company was and is a “well known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and the Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act objecting to use of the automatic shelf registration statement form.

(f) [Intentionally omitted.]

(g) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date did not and, unless superseded by a subsequent Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of the date of this Agreement, does not include any information that conflicted or conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement. If at any time following the date of this Agreement, there occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict. The first two sentences of this paragraph do not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter through the Representatives consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

The Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity other than the subsidiaries listed in Exhibit 21.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

(s) Capitalization and Other Capital Stock Matters. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the line items appearing under the caption “Stockholders’ Equity” in the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 appearing in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (other than for subsequent issuances or share repurchases or cancellations, if any, pursuant to any underwritten public offerings or any employee benefit plans or dividend reinvestment plans described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or upon exercise of outstanding options described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as the case may be, or upon the redemption of Common Units pursuant to the Partnership Agreement). The Common Stock (including the Shares) conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws. None of the outstanding shares of Common Stock were issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. The Company has duly reserved a sufficient number of shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per

share (the “Preferred Stock”), for issuance upon exchange of the preferred units of partnership interest of the Operating Partnership. There are no authorized or outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than those accurately described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The description of the Company’s stock option, stock bonus and other stock plans or arrangements, and the options or other rights granted thereunder incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus accurately and fairly presents the terms and conditions of such plans, arrangements, options and rights in all material respects.

(t) [Intentionally omitted.]

(u) Non-Contravention of Existing Instruments; No Further Authorizations or Approvals Required. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is (i) in violation or in default (or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, would be in default) (“Default”) under its charter or bylaws, limited partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or similar organizational documents, as the case may be, (ii) in Default under any indenture, mortgage, loan or credit agreement, deed of trust, note, contract, franchise, lease or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which the Company or such subsidiary is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject (each, an “Existing Instrument”) or (iii) in violation of any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or such subsidiary or any of its properties, as applicable, except with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) only, for such Defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, by the Disclosure Package and by the Prospectus (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and partnership action and will not result in any Default under the charter or bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or Default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their respective subsidiaries pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument, and (iii) will not result in any violation of any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree applicable to the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their respective subsidiaries of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their respective subsidiaries or any of its or their properties, except with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) only, for such conflicts, breaches, Defaults, Liens, consents or violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(y) All Necessary Permits, etc. The Company and each subsidiary possess such valid and current licenses, certificates, authorizations or permits (collectively, the “Permits”) issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct their respective businesses except for such Permits where the failure to so possess would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of, or non-compliance with, any such Permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(z) Title to Properties. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company and each of its subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all the properties and assets reflected as owned in the financial statements referred to above in the paragraph of this Section 1 captioned “Preparation of the Financial Statements” or acquired subsequent to the period covered by such financial statements, in each case free and clear of any Liens and other defects, except such as do not materially and adversely affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Company or such subsidiary. To the best of the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s knowledge, the real property, improvements, equipment and personal property held under lease by the Company or any subsidiary are held under valid and enforceable leases, with

such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such real property, improvements, equipment or personal property by the Company or such subsidiary. All Liens on or affecting any of the properties and assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which are required to be disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are disclosed therein. Each of the properties owned by the Company and its subsidiaries complies with all applicable codes, laws and regulations (including, without limitation, building and zoning codes, laws and regulations and laws relating to access to such properties), except if and to the extent described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and except for such failures to comply as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; the Company and the Operating Partnership have no knowledge of any pending or threatened condemnation or zoning change that could reasonably be expected in any material respect to affect the size of, use of, improvements of, construction on, or access to any of the properties of the Company and its subsidiaries; and the Company and the Operating Partnership have no knowledge of any pending or threatened proceeding or action that will in any manner affect the size of, use of, improvements on, construction on, or access to any of the properties of the Company or its subsidiaries.

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have filed all necessary federal, state, local and foreign income and franchise tax returns in a timely manner and have paid all taxes required to be paid by any of them and, if due and payable, any related or similar assessment, fine or penalty levied against any of them, except for any taxes, assessments, fines or penalties as may be being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and except to the extent a failure to so file or pay would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made appropriate provisions in the applicable financial statements referred to above in the paragraph of this Section 1 captioned “Preparation of the Financial Statements” in respect of all federal, state, local and foreign income and franchise taxes for all current or prior periods as to which the tax liability of the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries has not been finally determined.

Any certificate signed by an officer of the Company or the Operating Partnership and delivered to the Representatives or to counsel for the Underwriters after the date of this Agreement and prior to or on any Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date or in connection with the delivery and sale of the Firm Shares or Optional Shares, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be a joint and several representation and warranty by the Company and the Operating Partnership to each Underwriter as to the matters set forth therein.

SECTION 2. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Shares.

(a) The Firm Shares. The Company agrees to issue and sell to the several Underwriters the Firm Shares upon the terms herein set forth. Each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective number of Firm Shares set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name on Schedule A at a purchase price of $36.72 per share.

(b) The Closing Date. Delivery of certificates for the Firm Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters and payment therefor shall be made at the offices of Sidley Austin LLP, 555 California Street, San Francisco, California 94104 (or such other place as may be agreed to by the Company and the Representatives) at 9:00 a.m. New York time, on April 11, 2011, or such other time and date not later than 1:30 p.m. New York time, on April 25, 2011, as the Representatives shall designate by notice to the Company (the time and date of such closing are called the “Closing Date”).

(c) The Optional Shares; the Subsequent Closing Date. In addition, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the several Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to an aggregate of 787,500 Optional Shares from the Company at the purchase price per share to be paid by the Underwriters for the Firm Shares set forth in paragraph (a) above; provided that the purchase price per share for any Optional Shares shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and paid or payable on the Firm Shares but not payable on such Optional Shares. The option granted hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time and one or more times only for the purpose of covering over-allotments which may be made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Firm Shares upon notice by the Representatives to the Company, which notice may be given at any time within 30 days from the date of this Agreement. Such notice shall set forth (i) the aggregate number of Optional Shares as to which the Underwriters are exercising the option, (ii) the names and denominations in which the certificates for the Optional Shares are to be registered and (iii) the time, date and place at which such certificates will be delivered (which time and date may be simultaneous with, but not earlier than, the Closing Date; and in such case the term “Closing Date” shall refer to the time and date of delivery of certificates for the Firm Shares and the Optional Shares). Each time and date of delivery, if subsequent to the Closing Date, is called a “Subsequent Closing Date” and shall be determined by the Representatives and shall not be earlier than three nor later than five full business days after delivery of such notice of exercise. If any Optional Shares are to be purchased, each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Optional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the

Representatives may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Optional Shares to be purchased as the number of Firm Shares set forth on Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares.

(d) Public Offering of the Shares. The Representatives hereby advise the Company that the Underwriters intend to offer for sale to the public, as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, their respective portions of the Shares as soon after this Agreement has been executed as the Representatives, in their sole judgment, have determined is advisable and practicable.

(e) Payment for the Shares. Payment for the Shares shall be made at the Closing Date (and, if applicable, at any Subsequent Closing Date) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the order of the Company.

It is understood that the Representatives have been authorized, for their own account and the accounts of the several Underwriters, to accept delivery of and receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Firm Shares and any Optional Shares the Underwriters have agreed to purchase. BofA Merrill Lynch, individually and not as a Representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment for any Shares to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds shall not have been received by the Representatives by the Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, for the account of such Underwriter, but any such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(f) Delivery of the Shares. Delivery of the Firm Shares and the Optional Shares shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a further condition to the obligations of the Underwriters.

(g) Delivery of Prospectus to the Underwriters. Not later than 10:00 a.m. on the second business day following the date the Shares are first released by the Underwriters for sale to the public, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered, copies of the Prospectus in such quantities and at such places as the Representatives shall request.

and 3(e) hereof), file with the Commission (and use its best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement be declared effective) and furnish at its own expense to the Underwriters, amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any new registration statement, necessary in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or so that the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with law.

Prior to such effectiveness, this Agreement may be terminated by any party by notice to each of the other parties hereto, and any such termination shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company and the Operating Partnership to any Underwriter, except that the Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Representatives and the Underwriters pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 hereof or (b) of any Underwriter to the Company and the Operating Partnership.

SECTION 8. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Underwriter or such affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, or the omission or

alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and to reimburse each Underwriter, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and each such controlling person for any and all documented and reasonably incurred expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives) as such expenses are incurred by such Underwriter or its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or such controlling persons in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) as set forth in Section 8(b) of this Agreement. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company and the Operating Partnership may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its General Partner. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership, the general partner of the Operating Partnership (the “General Partner”), each of the Company’s directors, each of the Company’s officers who signed the Registration Statement on behalf of the Company or the General Partner and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, the Operating Partnership, the General Partner, any such director or officer or any such controlling person may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, the Operating Partnership, the General Partner, any such director or officer or any such controlling person for any and all documented expense (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Company) reasonably incurred by the Company, the Operating Partnership, the General Partner, any such director or officer or any such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling,

compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The Company and the Operating Partnership hereby acknowledge that the only information that the Underwriters have furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth (a) in the first full paragraph under the subcaption “Underwriting—Commissions and Discounts” in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus concerning the public offering price, concession and reallowance, (b) under the subcaption “Underwriting—Price Stabilization and Short Positions” in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, but only insofar as concerns the Representatives and the Underwriters, and (c) under the subcaption “Underwriting—Electronic Distribution” in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, but only insofar as concerns the Representatives and the Underwriters. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party under this Agreement other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (other than local counsel), reasonably approved by the Company and the Operating Partnership, in the case of Section 8(a) or by the Representatives, in the case of Section 8(b), representing the indemnified parties who are parties

to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be withheld unreasonably, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have provided the indemnifying party with the proposed terms of settlement and shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 8(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

SECTION 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for any reason unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the front cover page of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Shares as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company and the Operating

Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.

The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue statements or omissions or alleged untrue statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Company and the Operating Partnership to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are joint and several. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 9, each affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, the General Partner and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be.

SECTION 10. Default of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date or a Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the

Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date or a Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares and the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Shares are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party, except that the provisions of Section 4, Section 6, Section 8 and Section 9 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or a Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 10. Any action taken under this Section 10 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

SECTION 11. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the payment for, and delivery to the Underwriters of, the Shares on the Closing Date this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to the Company if at any time (i) trading or quotation in any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchanges by the Commission or FINRA; (iii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by federal or New York authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States has occurred; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representatives is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares in the manner and on the terms described in the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities. Except as provided in Section 6 hereof, any termination pursuant to this Section 11 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company or the Operating Partnership to any Underwriter or (b) any Underwriter to the Company or the Operating Partnership.

SECTION 12. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. The Company and the Operating Partnership acknowledge and agree, jointly and severally, that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Shares and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, and the Company and the Operating Partnership are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each

transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary of the Company, the Operating Partnership or their respective affiliates, stockholders, creditors, limited or general partners, or employees or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Operating Partnership with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Operating Partnership on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company or the Operating Partnership with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Operating Partnership and that the several Underwriters have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company and the Operating Partnership have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Operating Partnership and the several Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Form of Opinion of Ballard Spahr LLP

1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland.

2. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, to act as general partner of the Operating Partnership, to execute and deliver the Underwriting Agreement in its own capacity and, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership, on behalf of the Operating Partnership and to perform its obligations and those of the Operating Partnership under the Underwriting Agreement and to issue the Shares and to consummate the transactions described in the Underwriting Agreement.

3. The authorized capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

4. The Shares have been duly authorized for issuance by the Company and when issued and delivered in exchange for payment of the consideration therefor in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and the issuance and sale of the Shares to the Underwriters is not and will not be subject to any pre-emptive or similar rights arising by operation of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) or under the Charter or Bylaws of the Company.

5. The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company, in its own capacity and, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership, on behalf of the Operating Partnership have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action required under the Charter and Bylaws of the Company and the MGCL, and the Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company in its own capacity and, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership, on behalf of the Operating Partnership.

6. The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement do not and will not (a) contravene any provision of the MGCL, (b) conflict with, or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under (or constitute any event which with notice, lapse of time, or both would constitute a breach of or default under) any provisions of the Charter or Bylaws of the Company or (c) to our knowledge, result in any violation of any order, rule, regulation or decree of any court or governmental agency or authority of the State of Maryland issued under or pursuant to the MGCL and applicable to the properties, assets or business owned or proposed to be owned by the Company.

7. The authorized capital stock of the Company (including the Common Stock) and the Shares conform as to legal matters, in all material respects, to the descriptions set forth under the caption “Description of Capital Stock,” in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

A-1

8. No stockholder of the Company or any other person has any preemptive right or other similar right to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company arising by operation of the Charter or Bylaws of the Company or the MGCL.

9. The statements set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Capital Stock” and “Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of the Company’s Charter and Bylaws” and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 under the captions “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Organizational Structure—There are restrictions on the ownership of the capital stock of the Company, which limit the opportunities for a change of control at a premium to existing security holders” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Organizational Structure—The Company’s charter contains provisions that may delay, deter, or prevent a change of control transaction,” insofar as such statements constitute a summary of the Charter or Bylaws of the Company or the MGCL, constitute fair and accurate summaries thereof.

10. No consent, approval, authorization, order of or qualification with any court or governmental agency or authority of the State of Maryland (other than as may be required under Maryland securities, blue sky or real estate syndication laws, as to which no opinion is expressed) is required to be obtained by the Company under the MGCL in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company or the offering, issuance or sale of the Shares under the Underwriting Agreement, except for such as have been obtained or waived.

EXHIBIT B

Form of Opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP

1. The Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective under the Securities Act. With your consent, based solely on a telephonic confirmation by a member of the Staff of the Commission on April 11, 2011, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings therefor have been initiated by the Commission. The Pre-Pricing Prospectus has been filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)) under the Securities Act, and the Prospectus has been filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)) and Rule 430B under the Securities Act). With your consent based solely on a certificate of an officer of the Company, the Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form.

2. The Registration Statement at April 6, 2011, including the information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, and the Prospectus, as of its date, each appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable form requirements for registration statements on Form S-3 under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; it being understood, however, that we express no view with respect to Regulation S-T or the financial statements, schedules or other financial data included in, incorporated by reference in, or omitted from, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. For purposes of this paragraph, we have assumed that the statements made in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus are correct and complete.

3. Each document filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (the “Incorporated Documents”), as of its respective filing date, appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable form requirements for reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K and proxy statements under Regulation 14A, as the case may be, under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; it being understood, however, that we express no view with respect to Regulation S-T or the financial statements or schedules or other financial data included in, incorporated by reference in, or omitted from the Incorporated Documents. For purposes of this paragraph, we have assumed that the statements made in the Incorporated Documents are correct and complete.

4. With your consent based solely on a certificate of an officer of the Company as to factual matters, none of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary (as defined below) is, and immediately after giving effect to the sale of the Shares in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and the application of the proceeds as described in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Use of Proceeds” will be, required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As used herein, “Subsidiary” means (i) the Operating Partnership; (ii) the Finance Partnership; (iii) Kilroy Realty Finance, Inc., a Delaware corporation; (iv) Kilroy Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; (v) Kilroy Realty TRS, Inc., a Delaware corporation; (vi) Kilroy RB LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; (vii) Kilroy RB II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; (viii) Kilroy Realty Northside Drive, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; and (ix) Kilroy Realty 303, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

B-1

5. With your consent based solely on certificates from public officials, we confirm that the Company is in good standing under the laws of the State of California and is qualified to do business in the State of California.

6. Each of the Operating Partnership and the Finance Partnership is a limited partnership organized under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “DRULPA”), with limited partnership power and authority to own and lease its properties and conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and, with respect to the Operating Partnership, to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and perform its obligations thereunder. With your consent based solely on certificates from public officials, we confirm that each of the Operating Partnership and the Finance Partnership is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is in good standing under the laws of the State of California and is qualified to do business in the State of California.

7. The execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company and the Operating Partnership and the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Company to you and the other Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement do not on the date hereof:

(i) violate the Partnership Agreement; or

(ii) violate the DRULPA, or any federal or California statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Operating Partnership; or

(iii) result in the breach of, or a default under, any indentures, notes, loan or credit agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, leases or other written agreements or instruments creating, evidencing or securing indebtedness of the Company or the Operating Partnership for borrowed money, or any other agreements identified to us by an officer of the Company or the Operating Partnership as material to the Company or the Operating Partnership and listed in Exhibit A to this opinion (the “Specified Agreements”); or

(iv) require any consents, approvals, or authorizations to be obtained by the Company or the Operating Partnership from, or any registrations, declarations or filings to be made by the Company or the Operating Partnership with, any governmental authority under the DRULPA or any California or federal statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Operating Partnership that have not been obtained or made.

8. Assuming the due authorization of the Company by all necessary corporate action required under the charter and bylaws of the Company and the Maryland General Corporation Law to act in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Operating Partnership.

B-2

9. To our knowledge, there are no persons with registration rights to have any equity or debt securities registered for sale under the Registration Statement or included in the offering of the Shares contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement.

10. The statements in the Base Prospectus under the caption “Description of Material Provisions of the Partnership Agreement of Kilroy Realty, L.P.,” insofar as they purport to describe or summarize certain provisions of the documents, the DRULPA or U.S. federal or California laws referred to therein, are accurate descriptions or summaries in all material respects.

In rendering such opinions, such counsel may limit its opinions to the DRULPA, the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of California, and matters specifically governed thereby. In rendering such opinions, such counsel may also rely, as to matters of fact (but not as to legal conclusions), to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and the Operating Partnership and public officials. A separate letter to the following effect shall be delivered:

The primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial or quantitative information. Therefore, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in, or incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the information set forth on Schedule D to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Pricing Information Annex”), or the Prospectus (or the Incorporated Documents) (except to the extent expressly set forth in the numbered paragraph 10 in our letter to you of even date (regarding the content of paragraph 10 above) and in the numbered paragraph 2 in our letter to you of even date with respect to certain tax matters (regarding the content of the second bullet below of the Tax Opinions)), and have not made an independent check or verification thereof (except as aforesaid). However, in the course of acting as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation by the Company of the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Information Annex, and the Prospectus, we reviewed the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Information Annex, the Prospectus and the Incorporated Documents, and participated in conferences and telephone conversations with officers and other representatives of the Company, counsel for the Company, the independent public accountants for the Company, your representatives and your counsel, during which conferences and conversations the contents of the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Information Annex, and the Prospectus (and portions of the Incorporated Documents) and related matters were discussed. We also reviewed and relied upon certain corporate records and documents, letters from counsel and accountants, and oral and written statements of officers and other representatives of the Company and others as to the existence and consequence of certain factual and other matters.

Based on our participation, review and reliance as described above, we advise you that no facts came to our attention that caused us to believe that:

•

the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective on April 6, 2011 including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act (together with the Incorporated

B-3

Documents at that time), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

•

the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, as of 8:15 a.m. New York City Time on April 6, 2011 (together with the Incorporated Documents at that time), when taken together with the Pricing Information Annex, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or

•

the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement or as of the date hereof (together with the Incorporated Documents as of those respective dates), contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

it being understood that we express no belief with respect to the financial statements, schedules or other financial data included or incorporated by reference in, or omitted from, the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Information Annex, the Prospectus or the Incorporated Documents.

In addition, a separate letter to the following effect shall be delivered (collectively, the “Tax Opinions”):

•

Commencing with the Company’s taxable year ending December 31, 1997, the Company has been organized and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and its proposed method of operation will enable the Company to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code; and

•

The statements in Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on March 2, 2011 under the heading “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” and in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus under the heading “Supplemental United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of United States federal income tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects.

The Tax Opinions may be subject to such assumptions, limitations and qualifications as shall be satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters. In particular, the Tax Opinions may be conditioned upon certain representations made by the Company as to factual matters through a certificate of an officer of the Company (the “Officer’s Certificate”). In rendering the Tax Opinions, Latham & Watkins LLP may assume the accuracy of an opinion of Ballard Spahr LLP, special Maryland

B-4

counsel to the Company, with respect to the enforceability of the stock ownership limits set forth in the Company’s charter, so long as such opinion of special Maryland counsel (i) is dated the same date as such opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP, (ii) is addressed to the Representatives and the Underwriters or contains a statement to the effect that the Representatives and the Underwriters may rely upon such opinion as if it were addressed to them and (iii) is otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters, and a copy of such opinion of special Maryland counsel is delivered to the Representatives together with such opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP. In addition, the Tax Opinions may be based upon the factual representations of the Company concerning its business and properties as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and Prospectus. The Tax Opinions may state that they relate only to the federal income tax laws of the United States and such counsel need not express any opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of other federal laws, the laws of any state or other jurisdiction or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any other local agencies within any state. The Tax Opinions may state that they are based on various statutory provisions, regulations promulgated thereunder and interpretations thereof by the Internal Revenue Service and the courts having jurisdiction over such matters, all of which are subject to change either prospectively or retroactively, that any such change may affect the conclusions stated therein, and that any variation or difference in the facts from those set forth in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on March 2, 2011 or the Officer’s Certificate may affect the conclusions stated therein. Moreover, the Tax Opinions may state that the Company’s qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust depends upon the Company’s ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, including through actual annual operating results, asset composition, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership, the results of which have not been and will not be reviewed by such counsel, and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of the Company’s operation for any one taxable year will satisfy such requirements. Such opinion shall state that references therein to “subsidiaries” of the Company shall include, without limitation, the Operating Partnership.

Re:	Kilroy Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned is an owner of record or beneficially of certain shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or units representing common limited partnership interest (“Common Units”) of Kilroy Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company proposes to carry out a public offering of Common Stock (the “Offering”) for which you will act as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the underwriters. The undersigned recognizes that the Offering will be of benefit to the undersigned and will benefit the Company. The undersigned acknowledges that you and the other underwriters, if any, are relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned contained in this agreement in carrying out the Offering and in entering into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Company and the Operating Partnership with respect to the Offering.

In consideration of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees that the undersigned will not, (and will cause any spouse and immediate family member of the spouse or the undersigned living in the undersigned’s household not to), without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which consent may be withheld in their discretion), directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell (including without limitation any short sale), pledge, transfer, establish an open “put equivalent position” or liquidate or decrease a “call equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise dispose of or transfer (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition of) including the filing (or

C-1

The restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to (i) the surrender of Common Units to the Company or the Operating Partnership in connection with the redemption of such Common Units pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended from time to time (the “Partnership Agreement”), (ii) transfers of shares of Common Stock or Common Units or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock to family members of the undersigned or for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary or to a charitable foundation (so long as such transfers are not for value), (iii) pledges of shares of Common Stock or Common Units or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock to a lending institution as collateral or security for a bona fide loan or other extension of credit and (iv) transfers of shares of Common Stock or Common Units or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock to the Company pursuant to the Company’s incentive stock plan in connection with the exercise of stock options or the satisfaction of withholding or other obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock grants; provided, however, that any shares of Common Stock and any securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock and any other securities issued upon redemption of Common Units pursuant to clause (i) shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this agreement; and provided, further, that it shall be a condition to any transfer or pledge pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above that the transferee or pledgee, as the case may be, executes and delivers to the Representatives, not later than one business day prior to such transfer or pledge, as the case may be, a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, in substantially the form of this agreement, including, among other provisions, a provision to the effect that the shares of Common Stock or Common Units or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock transferred or pledged pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this agreement. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or Common Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or Common Units and waives any right to receive notice of the Offering.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agents and registrars against the transfer of shares of Common Stock or Common Units or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock or Common Units held by the undersigned except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

If an Underwriting Agreement is not executed and delivered by the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Representatives on or prior to May 31, 2011, this agreement shall automatically terminate.
