Ladies and Gentlemen:

Introductory. Kilroy Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “REIT”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Underwriters”) an aggregate of 1,400,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of its 7.80% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (liquidation preference $25.00 per share), par value $0.01 per share (“Series E Preferred Stock”). Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (“Wachovia Securities”), McDonald Investments Inc. and RBC Dain Rauscher Inc. 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 (as defined below). The REIT also proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters not more than an additional 210,000 shares (the “Additional Shares”) of its Series E Preferred Stock if and to the extent that you, as the Representatives, shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the Underwriters, the right to purchase such shares of Series E Preferred Stock granted to the Underwriters in Section 1(a) hereof. The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares.”

The following are each a “Subsidiary” and are collectively referred to as the “Subsidiaries”: (i) Kilroy Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”); (ii) Kilroy Realty Finance Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Finance Partnership” and, together with the Operating Partnership, the “Partnerships”); (iii) Kilroy Realty Finance, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the REIT (“KRF”); (iv) Kilroy Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“KSLLC”); (v) Kilroy Realty Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“KRPLP”); and (vi) Kilroy Realty TRS, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership (“KRTRS”). The REIT and the Subsidiaries are referred to in this Agreement as the “Company.”

The REIT and the Operating Partnership confirm their agreements with the Underwriters as follows:

1. Agreement to Sell and Purchase.

(a) General. The REIT hereby agrees to issue and sell to the several Underwriters the Firm Shares upon the terms herein set forth. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the REIT the respective number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their names on Schedule 1 attached hereto. The purchase price per Firm Share to be paid by the several Underwriters to the REIT shall be $24.2125 per share (the “Purchase Price”).

The REIT hereby agrees to issue and sell to the several Underwriters the Additional Shares upon the terms herein set forth. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Underwriters shall have the one-time right to purchase from the REIT, severally and not jointly, up to 210,000 Additional Shares at the Purchase Price. The Representatives may exercise this right on behalf of the Underwriters by giving written notice of each election to exercise the option not later than 30 days after the date of this Agreement. Any exercise notice shall specify the number of Additional Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which such shares are to be purchased. The purchase date must be at least one business day after the written notice is given and may not be earlier than the closing date for the Firm Shares or later than 10 business days after the date of such notice. Additional Shares may be purchased as provided in Section 2 hereof solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection with the offering of the Firm Shares. On the day, if any, that Additional Shares are to be purchased (the “Option Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Shares to be purchased on the Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares.

The REIT and the Operating Partnership each hereby agree that, without the prior written consent of Wachovia Securities on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period ending 30 days after the date of the Closing Date (as defined below), (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any class or series of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”), of the REIT or any class or series of preferred units of partnership interest (“Preferred Units”) of the Operating Partnership or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any class or series of Preferred Stock or Preferred Units or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any class or series of Preferred Stock or Preferred Units, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of any class or series of Preferred Stock or Preferred Units or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) the Shares to be sold hereunder, (B) the issuance of 1,400,000 (or up to 1,610,000 if the option described in Section 1(a) is exercised by the Representatives) 7.80% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the “Series E Preferred Units”) of the Operating Partnership, (C) the redemption of the 9.375% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the “Series C Preferred Units”) of the Operating Partnership, (D) the exchange of the 8.075% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the “Series A Preferred Units”) of the Operating Partnership for 8.075% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), of the REIT or (E) the exchange of the 9.250% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the “Series D Preferred Units”) of the Operating Partnership for the 9.250% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), of the REIT.

(b) Terms of Public Offering. The REIT is advised by the Representatives that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Shares as soon after the Registration Statement and this Agreement have become effective as in the Representative’s judgment is advisable. The REIT is further advised by the Representatives that the Shares are to be offered to the public initially at $25.00 a share (the “Public Offering Price”) and to certain dealers selected by you at a price that represents a concession not in excess of $0.50 a share under the Public Offering Price, and that any Underwriter may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession to any Underwriter or to certain other dealers.

2. Delivery and Payment.

(a) Payment for the Shares. Payment for the Firm Shares shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available-funds to the order of the REIT at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on November 21, 2003, or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later than November 28, 2003, as shall be agreed in writing by the Representatives and the REIT (the “Closing Date”).

Payment for the Additional Shares shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available-funds to the order of the REIT at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date specified in the corresponding notice described in Section 1(b) or at such other time on the same or on such other date, in any event not later than January 12, 2004, as shall be agreed in writing by the Representatives and the REIT.

It is understood that the Representatives have been authorized, for their own accounts and the accounts of the several Underwriters, to accept delivery of and receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Shares the Underwriters have agreed to purchase. Wachovia Securities, 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 the Option 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.

(b) Delivery of the Shares. The Firm Shares and Additional Shares shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as you shall request in writing not later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be. The REIT shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, a credit representing the Firm Shares or the Additional Shares, as the case may be, to an account or accounts at The Depository Trust Company, as designated by the Representatives, for the accounts of the Representatives and the several Underwriters at the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, against the irrevocable release of a wire transfer of immediately available funds for the amount of the purchase price therefor. 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.

The cost of original issue tax stamps, if any, in connection with the issuance and delivery of the Shares by the REIT to the Underwriters shall be borne by the REIT. The REIT and the Operating Partnership will pay and save the Underwriters and any subsequent holder of the Shares harmless from any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any failure or delay in paying Federal and state stamp and other transfer taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the original issuance or sale to the Underwriters of the Shares.

(c) Delivery of Prospectus to the Underwriters. Not later than 12:00 p.m. on the second business day following the date of this Agreement, the REIT shall deliver or cause to be delivered copies of the Prospectus (as defined below) in such quantities and at such places as the Underwriters shall reasonably request.

3. Representations and Warranties. Each of the REIT and the Operating Partnership jointly and severally represents and warrants to and agrees with each of the Underwriters that:

(a) The REIT meets the requirements for use of Form S-3. A registration statement (Registration No. 333-45097) on Form S-3 relating to the Shares, including a prospectus (as amended, the “Base Prospectus”), has been prepared by the REIT and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and has been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”). Such registration statement and prospectus may have been amended or supplemented prior to the date of this Agreement; any such amendment or supplement was so prepared and filed, and any such amendment after the effective date of such registration statement has become effective. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement has been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or, to the knowledge of the REIT or the Operating Partnership, threatened by the Commission. Copies of such registration statement and prospectus, any such amendments or supplements and all documents incorporated by reference therein that were filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement have been delivered or made available to the Underwriters. A prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) setting forth the terms of the Shares and of their sale and distribution has been or will be so prepared and will be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations on or before the second business day after the date hereof (or such earlier time as may be required by the Rules and Regulations). The term “Registration Statement” means such registration statement as amended to the date of this Agreement, including financial statements and all exhibits and any information deemed to be included therein (whether by virtue of Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations or otherwise) and any prospectus supplement filed thereafter with the Commission and shall include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The term “Prospectus” means, collectively, the Base Prospectus together with any prospectus supplement, in the respective forms they are filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, and includes the documents incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus and in any prospectus supplement. Any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing after the execution hereof of any document with the Commission deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. For purposes of this Underwriting Agreement (other than in connection with any opinion given by counsel in Section 5 hereof, which hereby expressly excludes any copy filed via Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”)), all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, and such copy shall be identical (except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T) to any Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, delivered to the Representatives for use in connection with the offering of the Shares by the REIT.

(b) Each part of the Registration Statement, when such part became or becomes effective, and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, on the date of filing thereof with the Commission and at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, including the financial statements and other information included or to be included or incorporated by reference or to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, conformed or will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Rules and Regulations, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Exchange Act Rules and Regulations”), as applicable, and will contain all statements required to be stated therein in accordance with the Securities Act, the Rules and Regulations, the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Rules and Regulations, as applicable; each part of the Registration Statement, when such part became or becomes effective, did not or will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, on the date of filing thereof with the Commission and at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, did not or will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The foregoing representations and warranties in this Section 3(b) do not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished in writing to the REIT by such Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. The REIT and the Operating Partnership acknowledge that the only information furnished in writing to the REIT by the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) or the Prospectus is the information set forth in Exhibit A hereto. None of the REIT or any of the Subsidiaries has distributed any offering material in connection with the offering or sale of the Shares other than the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or other materials, if any, permitted by the Securities Act. The REIT will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shares to be approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

(c) The documents incorporated or to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or from which information is so incorporated by reference, when they became or become effective or were or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, complied or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, the Exchange Act Rules and Regulations and the Rules and Regulations.

(d) The only direct or indirect subsidiaries (as defined in the Rules and Regulations) of the REIT are the Subsidiaries. Other than the Partnerships, none of the Subsidiaries are “significant subsidiaries” (as defined in the Rules and Regulations). The REIT and each of the Subsidiaries is, and at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date will be, an entity duly organized or formed, as the case may be, and, in the case of an entity that is not a general partnership, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. The REIT and each of the Subsidiaries has, and at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date will have, full power and authority to conduct all the activities conducted by it, to own or lease all the assets owned or leased by it and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The REIT and each of the Subsidiaries is, and at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date will be, duly licensed or qualified to do business and (except for subsidiaries that are general partnerships) in good standing as a foreign trust, limited partnership, limited liability company or corporation, as the case may be, in all jurisdictions in which the nature of the activities conducted by it or the character of the assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary

except where the failure to be so qualified does not have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition or results of operations of the REIT and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (“Material Adverse Effect”). (i) As of the date of this Agreement, the REIT is, and, as of the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, the REIT will be, the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and as of the date of this Agreement, the REIT does, and, as of the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, the REIT will, own an 86.9% of the common limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership, (ii) as of the date of this Agreement, the REIT does, and, as of the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, the REIT will, own 100% of the capital stock of KRF, (iii) as of the date of this Agreement, KRF is, and, as of the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, the KRF will, be the sole general partner of the Finance Partnership, and, as of the date of this Agreement, KRF does, and, as of the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, KRF will, own a 1.0% partnership interest in the Finance Partnership, and, as of the date of this Agreement, the Operating Partnership does, and, as of the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, the Operating Partnership will, own a 99.0% partnership interest in the Finance Partnership, (iv) as of the date of this Agreement, the Operating Partnership does, and, as of the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, the Operating Partnership will own, all of the capital stock of KRTRS, (v) as of the date of this Agreement, the REIT is, and, as of the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, the REIT will be, the general partner of KRPLP, and, as of the date of this Agreement, the REIT does, and, as of the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, the REIT will own, a 1.0% partnership interest in KRPLP, and, as of the date of this Agreement, the Operating Partnership does, and, as of the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, the Operating Partnership will own, a 99.0% partnership interest in KRPLP, and (vi) as of the date of this Agreement, the REIT does, and, as of the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, the REIT will own, a 1.0% interest in KSLLC, and, as of the date of this Agreement, the Operating Partnership does, and, as of the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, the Operating Partnership will own, a 99.0% interest in KSLLC. Except for the capital stock, limited liability company interests or partnership interests (including the Series E Preferred Units) of the Subsidiaries and as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the REIT does not own, and at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date will not own, directly or indirectly, any shares of stock or any other equity or long-term debt securities of any corporation or have any equity interest in any firm, partnership, joint venture, association or other entity.

(e) The outstanding securities of the REIT have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and are not subject to any preemptive or similar right. The description of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the REIT and each series and class of Preferred Stock, in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus is, and at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date will be, in all material respects, complete and accurate. Except as set forth in or contemplated by the Prospectus, the REIT does not have outstanding, and at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date will not have outstanding, any options to purchase, or any rights or warrants to subscribe for, or any securities or obligations

convertible into, or any contracts or commitments to issue or sell, any Common Stock, any Preferred Stock, any shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary or any such warrants, convertible securities or obligations other than pursuant to the 1998 Stock Option and Incentive Plan of the REIT and the Operating Partnership.

The authorized shares of capital stock of the REIT conform in all material respects to the description thereof in the Prospectus.

(f) The outstanding securities of each of the Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and, to the extent owned by the REIT or any Subsidiary, are owned free and clear of all security interests, mortgages, pledges, liens, encumbrances, equities or claims and are not subject to any preemptive or similar right. Except as set forth in the Prospectus, none of the Subsidiaries have outstanding, and at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, none of the Subsidiaries will have outstanding, any options to purchase, or any rights or warrants to subscribe for, or any securities or obligations convertible into, or any contracts or commitments to issue or sell, any shares of capital stock, partnership interests or limited liability company interests of the Subsidiaries. No waivers, consents or approvals of the holders of any class or series of Preferred Units need to be obtained in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares, except for those that have been obtained and delivered in writing to the Representatives before the date of this Agreement.

(g) The Shares will be, as of the Closing Date and as of the Option Closing Date, duly authorized by the REIT for issuance and sale pursuant to this Agreement, and upon issuance against payment therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and the issuance and sale thereof will not be subject to any preemptive or similar right.

(h) The books, records and accounts of the REIT and the Subsidiaries accurately and fairly reflect the transactions in, and the dispositions of, the assets of, and the results of operations of the REIT and the Subsidiaries. The financial statements and schedules of the REIT and the Subsidiaries (including all notes and schedules thereto) included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of the respective dates thereof in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. No other financial statements or schedules of the REIT and the Subsidiaries are required by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the Rules and Regulations to be included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, who have reported on those of such financial statements and schedules which are audited, are independent accountants with respect to the REIT and the Subsidiaries as required by the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations.

(i) The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

(j) Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and prior to the Closing Date and the Option Closing

Date, except as set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, (i) there has not been and will not have been any change in the capitalization of the REIT or any of the Subsidiaries, or in the business, properties, business prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the REIT or any of the Subsidiaries, arising for any reason whatsoever, other than pursuant to the 1998 Stock Option and Incentive Plan of the REIT and the Operating Partnership, the dividend reinvestment plan of the REIT and exchanges of units of partnership interest of the Operating Partnership for Common Stock and Preferred Stock in accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, (ii) neither the REIT nor any of the Subsidiaries has incurred nor will it voluntarily incur, or suffer to incur without seeking in good faith the removal of, any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, nor has it entered into nor will it enter into any material transactions other than pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions referred to herein, (iii) neither the REIT nor any of the Subsidiaries has or will have paid or declared any dividends or other distributions of any kind on any class of its capital stock, other than dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock in each case in accordance with the Charter, dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Units, the Series C Preferred Units and the Series D Preferred Units in each case in accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership and dividends payable on the Common Stock and the common units of partnership interest of the Operating Partnership in accordance with past practices and with such increases as may be approved by the Board of Directors of the REIT, and (iv) there has been no casualty loss or condemnation or other adverse event with respect to any property of the REIT or any of the Subsidiaries, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(k) Neither the REIT nor any of the Subsidiaries is, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the Prospectus will not be, an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

(l) Except as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the REIT or the Operating Partnership, threatened against or affecting the REIT or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus under the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations that are not so described.

(m) The REIT and each of the Subsidiaries has, and at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date will have, (i) all licenses, permits, consents, orders, approvals and other authorizations necessary to carry on its business as contemplated in the Prospectus, except where the failure to have such licenses, permits, consents, orders, approval and other authorizations would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of the REIT and the Subsidiaries has received notice of proceedings related to the revocation or modification of any license, permit, consent, order, approval or other authorization which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) complied in all material respects with all laws, regulations and orders applicable to it or its business except where failure to comply with any of the foregoing would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) performed all its material obligations required to be performed by it, and is not, and at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date will not be, in default, under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, voting trust agreement, loan agreement, bond, debenture, note agreement, lease, contract or other agreement or instrument (collectively, a “contract or other agreement”) to which it is a party or by which its property is bound or affected, the violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the REIT and the Operating

Partnership, no other party under any contract or other agreement to which the REIT or any of the Subsidiaries is a party is in default thereunder in such a manner that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a reasonable likelihood of causing a Material Adverse Effect. The REIT is not, nor at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date will be, in violation of any provision of the Charter or the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the REIT. No Subsidiary is, nor at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date will any of them be, in violation of any provision in their respective organizational documents, except for such violations as would not have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(n) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or any filing or declaration with, any court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by the REIT and the Operating Partnership of the transactions on its part herein contemplated, except such as have been obtained under the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations and such as may be required under state or Canadian securities or blue sky laws or the bylaws in connection with the purchase and distribution by the Underwriters of the Shares to be sold by the REIT.

(o) Each of the REIT and the Operating Partnership has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the REIT and the Operating Partnership and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the REIT and the Operating Partnership and is enforceable against the REIT and the Operating Partnership in accordance with the terms hereof, except as rights to indemnification hereunder may be limited by applicable law and except as the enforcement hereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles. The execution and delivery by the REIT and the Operating Partnership of, and the performance by the REIT and the Operating Partnership of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the application of the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares as described in the Prospectus, the redemption of Series C Preferred Units and issuance of Series E Preferred Units) will not (i) contravene any provision of applicable law or the Charter, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the REIT, the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership or the organizational documents of any of the Subsidiaries or (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the assets of the REIT, the Operating Partnership or any of the Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms or provisions of, or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or give any other party a right to terminate any of its obligations under, or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any contract or other agreement to which the REIT, the Operating Partnership or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which the REIT, the Operating Partnership or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties is bound or affected (including, without limitation, that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of March 15, 2002, among the Operating Partnership, JP Morgan Chase Bank, as Bank and as Lead Agent for the Banks, and the Banks listed therein), or (iii) violate or conflict with any judgment, ruling, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation of any court or other governmental agency or body applicable to the business or properties of the REIT, the Operating Partnership or any of the Subsidiaries, except in clauses (ii) and (iii) for such violations and conflicts as would not have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(p) The REIT and each of the Subsidiaries has and at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date will have good and marketable fee simple title to all of the land underlying the properties and assets owned by it and good and marketable title to all of the improvements

All liens, charges or encumbrances on or affecting any of the properties and assets of the REIT or any of the Subsidiaries which are required to be disclosed in the Prospectus are disclosed therein. The REIT and each of the Subsidiaries has and at the Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date will have valid, subsisting and enforceable leases for the properties leased by it, with such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such properties by the REIT and such subsidiaries; no person has an option or right of first refusal to purchase all or any part of any property of the REIT or any Subsidiary or any interest therein which is material to the REIT and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; each of the properties owned by the REIT and the 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 Prospectus and except for such failures to comply as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; the REIT and the Operating Partnership have no knowledge of any pending or threatened condemnation or zoning change that will in any material respect affect the size of, use of, improvements of, construction on, or access to any of the properties of the REIT and the Subsidiaries; and the REIT 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 REIT or the Subsidiaries.

Title insurance in favor of the mortgagee is maintained in an amount equal to the maximum commitment of the related loan.

(r) The mortgages and deeds of trust encumbering the properties and assets of the REIT and the Subsidiaries are not convertible nor does the REIT or any Subsidiary hold a participating interest therein.

(u) There are no statutes, regulations, documents or contracts of a character required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement which are not described or filed as required. All such contracts and all contracts relating to any tax exempt financings to which the REIT or any Subsidiary is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the REIT or such Subsidiary, constitute valid and binding agreements of the REIT or such Subsidiary and are enforceable against the REIT or such Subsidiary in accordance with the terms thereof, except as rights to indemnification hereunder may be limited by applicable law and except as the enforcement hereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles.

The use, in connection with the business and operations of the REIT and the Subsidiaries of such trademarks, service marks and trade names does not, to the knowledge of the REIT or the Operating Partnership, infringe on the rights of any person.

(y) The REIT has been organized and continuously operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for all taxable years commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1997. The REIT has filed an election to be taxable as a real estate investment trust for its taxable year ended December 31, 1997, and such election has not been terminated. The REIT’s proposed method of operation will permit it to continue to meet the requirements for taxation as a real estate investment trust under the Code. The REIT intends to continue to operate in a manner which would permit it to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code.

(z) There has not occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the financial condition and results of operation of the REIT and the Subsidiaries from that set forth in the Prospectus, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(aa) The statements set forth in the Registration Statement under the captions “Description of Capital Stock,” “Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws,” “Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership,” “Federal Income Tax Consequences,” “Other Tax Consequences” and “Plan of Distribution” are, and the statements made in the Prospectus as amended, supplemented or superceded under corresponding or similar captions to the extent made are, insofar as such statements constitute a summary of the terms of the Shares and the laws and documents referred to therein, are accurate and complete in all material respects.

(bb) The REIT and each of the Subsidiaries have timely and duly filed all material Tax Returns (as defined below) required to be filed by them, and all such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects. The REIT and each of the Subsidiaries have timely and duly paid in full all material Taxes (as defined below) required to be paid by them (whether or not such amounts are shown as due on any Tax Return). There are no Federal, state, or other Tax audits or deficiency assessments proposed or pending with respect to the REIT or any of the Subsidiaries, and no such audits or assessments are threatened. As used herein, the terms “Tax” or “Taxes” mean (i) all Federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, and other assessments of a similar nature (whether imposed directly or through withholding), including any interest, additions to tax, or penalties applicable thereto, imposed by any governmental authority, and (ii) all liabilities in respect of such amounts arising as a result of being a member of any affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group, as a successor to another person or by contract. As used herein, the term “Tax Returns” means all Federal, state, local, and foreign Tax returns, declarations, statements, reports, schedules, forms, and information returns and any amendments thereto filed or required to be filed with any governmental authority.

(cc) The Common Stock and the Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The Common Stock has been approved for listing on the NYSE, and, as soon as possible after the date of this Agreement, the REIT will file an application to have the Shares listed on the NYSE. A registration statement has been filed on Form 8-A pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, which registration statement complies in all material respects with the Exchange Act. The REIT has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock or the Shares under the Exchange Act or the listing of the Common Stock or the Shares, if applicable, on the NYSE, nor has the REIT received any notification that the Commission or the NYSE is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.

(dd) The REIT and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts in all material respects as are customary in the businesses in which they are engaged or propose to engage after giving effect to the transactions described in the Prospectus including but not limited to, real or personal property owned or leased against theft, damage, destruction, act of vandalism and all other risks customarily insured against. All policies of insurance and fidelity or surety bonds insuring the REIT or any of the Subsidiaries or the REIT’s or Subsidiaries’ respective businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect. The REIT and each of the Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of such policies and instruments in all material respects. Neither the REIT nor any Subsidiary has reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Within the past 12 months, neither the REIT nor any Subsidiary has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied, except that the REIT changed insurers for its directors and officers insurance policy.

(ee) Each description of a contract, document or other agreement in the Prospectus fairly reflects in all respects the material terms of the underlying document, contract or agreement. Each agreement described in the Prospectus or listed in the exhibits to the Registration Statement or incorporated by reference is in full force and effect and is valid and enforceable by and against the REIT or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms.

(ff) Except as described in the Prospectus, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the REIT or any of the Subsidiaries and any person that would give rise to a valid claim against the REIT, any of the Subsidiaries or the Underwriters for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other like payment in connection with the offering, issuance and sale of the Shares.

(gg) No transaction has occurred between or among the REIT or any Subsidiaries, on one hand, and any of their officers or directors or any affiliate or affiliates of any such officer or director, on the other hand, that is required to be described in and is not described or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, there are no outstanding loans or advances or material guarantees of indebtedness by the REIT or any of the Subsidiaries to or for the benefit of any of the officers or directors of the REIT or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their family members.

(hh) The REIT and the Subsidiaries are currently in compliance with all presently applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act, except for such noncompliance which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) The REIT’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) have reviewed the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement (including, without limitation, all documents incorporated therein by reference). Based on the knowledge of the CEO and the CFO, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the matters discussed therein and, with respect to each incorporated document, each period covered by such report. Based on the knowledge of the CEO and CFO, the financial statements, and other financial information included in the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented. The CEO and CFO are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) for the Company and have (i) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under their supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the Prospectus was being prepared, (ii) evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in the Prospectus their conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of second quarter of 2003 based on such evaluation and (iii) disclosed in the Prospectus any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2003 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

(a) The REIT will cause the Prospectus Supplement to be filed as required by Section 3(a) hereof (but only if the Underwriters have not reasonably objected thereto by notice to the REIT after having been furnished a copy a reasonable time prior to filing) and will notify you promptly of such filing. The REIT will not, during such period as the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares by any Underwriter or dealer (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, unless a copy thereof shall first have been submitted to the Underwriters within a reasonable period of time prior to the filing thereof and the Underwriters shall not have objected thereto.

(b) The REIT will notify the Underwriters promptly, and will confirm such advice in writing, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose or the threat thereof, (iv) of the happening of any event during the Prospectus Delivery Period that in the judgment of the REIT makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus untrue or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading and (v) of receipt by the REIT or any representative or attorney of the REIT of any other communication from the Commission relating to the REIT, the Registration Statement, or the Prospectus. If at any time the Commission shall issue any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the REIT will make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment.

(c) The REIT will furnish to the Underwriters, upon request and without charge, four copies of the executed Registration Statement and of any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and all exhibits thereto.

(d) The REIT will comply with all the provisions of any undertakings contained in the Registration Statement.

(e) The REIT consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by the Underwriters and by all dealers to whom the Shares may be sold, both in connection with the offering or sale of the Shares and for any period of time thereafter during which the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection therewith. If during such period of time any event shall occur which in the judgment of the REIT or counsel to the Underwriters should be set forth in the Prospectus in order to make any statement therein, in the light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading, or if it is necessary to supplement or amend the Prospectus to comply with law, the REIT will forthwith prepare and duly file with the Commission an appropriate supplement or amendment thereto, and will deliver to each Underwriter, without charge, such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to the Prospectus as such Underwriter may reasonably request. The REIT shall not file any document under the Exchange Act before the termination of the offering of the Shares by the Underwriters if such document would be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus which is not approved by the Underwriters after reasonable notice thereof.

(f) Prior to any public offering of the Shares, the REIT will register or qualify the Shares for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may reasonably request; provided, that in no event shall the REIT be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

(g) The REIT will make generally available to holders of its securities as soon as may be practicable but in no event later than the last day of the fifteenth full calendar month following the end of the REIT’s current fiscal quarter, an earnings statement (which need not be audited but shall be in reasonable detail) for a period of 12 months beginning after the date upon which the Prospectus Supplement is filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (including Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations).

(h) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the REIT and the Operating Partnership will pay, or reimburse if paid by the Underwriters, all fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees, disbursements and expenses of the counsel and accountants of the REIT and the Subsidiaries) incident to the performance of the obligations of the REIT and the Operating Partnership under this Agreement, including but not limited to fees, costs and expenses of or relating to (i) the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement and exhibits to it, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (ii) the preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Shares, (iii) the printing of this Agreement and any Dealer Agreements, (iv) furnishing (including costs of shipping and mailing) such copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, and all amendments and supplements thereto, as may be requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares by the Underwriters or by dealers to whom Shares may be sold, (v) filings required to be made by or on

It being understood, however, that except as provided in this Section and Section 6 entitled “Indemnification and Contribution” and Section 8 entitled “Substitution of Underwriters”, the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Shares by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.

(i) If this Agreement shall be terminated by the REIT pursuant to any of the provisions hereof or if for any reason the REIT shall be unable to perform its obligations hereunder, the REIT and the Operating Partnership will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Underwriters) reasonably incurred by it in connection herewith.

(j) None of the REIT or any of the Subsidiaries will at any time, directly or indirectly, take any action intended, or which might reasonably be expected, to cause or result in, or which will constitute, stabilization of the price of the Shares to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Shares.

(k) The REIT and the Operating Partnership will apply the net proceeds from the offering and sale of the Shares to be sold by the REIT in the manner set forth in the Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

(l) Until the date that the Board of Directors of the REIT determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the REIT to attempt to, or to continue to, qualify as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code and such determination is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the shares of capital stock of the REIT outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, the REIT will not terminate its election to be taxed as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code, and the REIT will use its best efforts to, and will continue to meet the requirements to, so qualify as a “real estate investment trust.”

(m) Prior to the Closing Date, the REIT will execute and file with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (the “SDAT”) the Articles Supplementary (the “Articles Supplementary”) to its Charter establishing the terms of the Series E Preferred Stock. The REIT shall first provide the form of Articles Supplementary to counsel to the Underwriters and shall not file any form of Articles Supplementary to which counsel to the Underwriters has objected.

(n) The REIT will take all steps necessary to ensure that neither the REIT nor any Subsidiary shall become an “investment company” within the meaning of such term under the Investment Company Act.

(o) As soon as possible after the date of this Agreement, the REIT shall apply to list the Shares on the NYSE, and the REIT shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain approval of the listing of the Shares on the NYSE.

6. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The REIT and the Operating Partnership will indemnify and hold each Underwriter, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls it within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including, but not limited to, any and all investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding between any of the indemnified parties and any indemnifying parties or between any indemnified party and any third party, or otherwise, or any claim asserted), as and when incurred, to which any Underwriter, or any such person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any documents filed under the Exchange Act and deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, or in any application or other document executed by or on behalf of the REIT or any Subsidiary or based on written information furnished by or on behalf of the REIT or any Subsidiary filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Shares under the securities or blue sky laws thereof or filed with the

Commission, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in such document a material fact required to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in it, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by any Underwriter in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Shares or the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action arising out of or based upon matters covered by clause (i) or (ii) above (provided that the REIT and the Operating Partnership shall not be liable under this clause (iii) to the extent it is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Underwriter through its gross negligence or willful misconduct); provided, that the REIT and the Operating Partnership will not be liable to the extent that such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action arises from the sale of the Shares in the public offering to any person by any Underwriter and is based on an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to the Underwriter furnished in writing to the REIT by such Underwriter expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus. The REIT and the Operating Partnership acknowledge that the only information furnished in writing to the REIT by the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus is the information set forth in Exhibit A hereto. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the REIT and the Operating Partnership might otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the REIT and the Operating Partnership, each person, if any, who controls the REIT and the Operating Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each director of the REIT and the Operating Partnership and each officer of the REIT who signs the Registration Statement to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the REIT and the Operating Partnership to each Underwriter, but only insofar as losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished in writing to the REIT by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. The REIT and the Operating Partnership acknowledge that the only information furnished in writing to the REIT by the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus is the information set forth in Exhibit A hereto. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability that each Underwriter might otherwise have; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter.

(c) Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 6 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 6, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the

defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iv) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one additional firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. An indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, no indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 6 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 6 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable from the REIT, the Operating Partnership or the Underwriters, then the REIT, the Operating Partnership and the Underwriters will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the REIT and the Operating Partnership from persons other than the Underwriters, such as persons who control the REIT and the Operating Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act, officers of the REIT who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the REIT, who also may be liable for contribution) to which the REIT, the Operating Partnership and any one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the REIT and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other. The relative benefits received by the REIT and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the REIT and the Operating Partnership bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be

made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the REIT and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the 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 REIT and the Operating Partnership or the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The REIT, the Operating Partnership and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purposes) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 6(d) shall be deemed to include, for purpose of this Section 6(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions received by it and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 6(d) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. For purposes of this Section 6(d), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Securities Act will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each officer of the REIT who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the REIT, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 6(d), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify will not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 6(d). No party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

(e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 and the representations and warranties of the REIT and the Operating Partnership contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or by or on behalf of the REIT or the Operating Partnership, or the REIT’s officers and directors or any persons controlling the REIT or the Operating Partnership, (ii) acceptance of the Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

7. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of the REIT and the Operating Partnership herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto, and the agreements of the Underwriters contained in Section 6 hereof, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling persons, or the REIT or the Operating Partnership or any of their officers, directors, or any controlling persons, and shall survive (i) termination of this Agreement and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Shares hereunder.

8. Substitution of Underwriters.

(a) If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail to take up and pay for the aggregate number of Shares agreed by such Underwriter or Underwriters to be purchased hereunder, upon tender of such Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, and the aggregate number of Shares not purchased does not aggregate more than 10% of the total number of Shares that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase hereunder at the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated to take up and pay for (in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations hereunder as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto except as may otherwise be determined by you) the Shares that the withdrawing or defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail to take up and pay for the aggregate number of Shares agreed by such Underwriter or Underwriters to be purchased hereunder, upon tender of such Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, and the number of Shares not purchased aggregates more than 10% of the total principal amount of Shares that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase hereunder at the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, and arrangements satisfactory to Representatives and the REIT for the purchase of such Shares by other persons are not made within 36 hours thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate. In the event of any such termination the REIT and the Operating Partnership shall not be under any liability to any Underwriter with respect to Shares not purchased by reason of such termination (except to the extent provided in Section 4(i), regarding payment of expenses, and Section 6, regarding indemnification and contribution, hereof) nor shall any Underwriter (other than an Underwriter who shall have failed, otherwise than for some reason permitted under this Agreement, to purchase the amount of Shares agreed by such Underwriter to be purchased hereunder) be under any liability to the REIT or the Operating Partnership with respect to such Shares (except to the extent provided in Section 6 hereof).

9. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement may be terminated at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, by notice to the REIT from the Underwriters, without liability on the part of the Underwriters to the REIT, the Operating Partnership or any other Subsidiary, if, prior to delivery and payment for the Shares, in the sole judgment of the Underwriters, (i) trading in any securities of the REIT or the Operating Partnership shall have been suspended by the Commission, by an exchange that lists such equity securities or by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation National Market System, (ii) trading in securities generally on the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on such exchange, or additional material governmental restrictions, not in force on the date of this Agreement, shall have been imposed upon trading in securities generally by such exchange or by order of the Commission or any court or other governmental authority, (iii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or (iv) any material adverse change in the financial or securities markets in the United States or in political, financial or economic conditions in the United States or any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis shall have occurred the effect of any of which is such as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus.

10. Notices. Notice given pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified, shall be mailed or delivered (a) if to the REIT or the Operating Partnership, at the office of the REIT, 12200 West Olympic Boulevard, Suite 200, Los Angeles, California 90064, Attention: President with a copy to Latham & Watkins LLP, 633 West Fifth Street, Suite 4000, Los Angeles, California 90071, Attention: J.

EXHIBIT C

Opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP

1. The Registration Statement has 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 November , 2003, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings therefore have been initiated by the Commission. Any required filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act has been made in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act.

2. The Registration Statement, as of the date it was declared effective, and the Prospectus, as of its date, complied as to form in all material respects with the 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 opinion with respect to Regulation S-T or the financial statements, schedules, or other financial or statistical data, included in, incorporated by reference in, or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. In passing upon the compliance as to form of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, we have assumed that the statements made therein are correct and complete.

3. The statements in the Prospectus under the “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 agreements, statutes, regulations, or the subject legal proceedings referred to therein, are accurate descriptions or summaries in all material respects.

4. With your consent based solely on a certificate of an officer of the REIT as to factual matters, none of the REIT, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary 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.

5. Based on certificates from public officials, we confirm that the REIT is qualified to do business in the States of Delaware and California.

6. Each of the Partnerships is a limited partnership under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, with partnership power and authority to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus and to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and perform its obligations thereunder. Based on certificates from public officials, we confirm that the Partnerships are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified to do business in the States of California and Maryland.

7. The execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement by the REIT and the Operating Partnership and the performance by the REIT and the Operating Partnership (including the issuance and sale of the Shares by the REIT to you, the redemption of the Series C Preferred Units and the issuance of the Series E Preferred Units to the REIT) under the Underwriting Agreement do not and will not:

(i) violate the Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement; or

C-1

(ii) violate the General Corporation Law of the States of Delaware (“DGCL”), any federal or California statute, rule or regulation applicable to the REIT and the Operating Partnership; or

(iii) result in the breach of or a default under any of the agreements filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or incorporated by reference therein; or

(iv) require any consents, approvals, or authorizations to be obtained by the REIT or the Operating Partnership, or any registrations, declarations or filings to be made by the REIT or the Operating Partnership, in each case, under any California or Delaware or federal statute, rule or regulation applicable to the REIT or the Operating Partnership that have not been obtained or made.

8. The Underwriting Agreement has been executed and delivered by the Operating Partnership.

9. To the best of our knowledge, neither the REIT nor the Operating Partnership is a party to any agreement that would require the inclusion in the Registration Statement of shares or other securities owned by any person or entity other than the REIT or the Operating Partnership.

In rendering such opinions, such counsel may limit its opinions to DGCL, 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 REIT and public officials. In addition, such counsel shall state that:

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 the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, and have not made an independent check or verification thereof. However, in the course of acting as counsel to the REIT in connection with the preparation by the REIT of the Registration Statement and Prospectus, we reviewed the Registration Statement, and the Prospectus, and participated in conferences and telephone conversations with officers and other representatives of the REIT, the independent public accountants for the REIT, your representatives, and your counsel, during which conferences and conversations the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed. We also reviewed and relied upon certain corporate records and documents, and oral and written statements of officers and other representatives of the REIT and others as to the existence and consequence of certain factual and other matters.

Based on our participation, review and reliance as described in the opinion letter, we advise you that no facts came to our attention that caused us to believe that the Registration Statement, at the time the REIT filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, 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, or that the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and the Closing Date and the Option Closing Date, 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; 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 or the Prospectus or the Incorporated Documents.

Re:

Kilroy Realty Corporation, Corporate Ownership Restrictions

Dear Mr. Stoller:

This letter is in response to your inquiry regarding the necessity of obtaining for Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Cohen & Steers”) a waiver (a “Waiver”) from the limitations on ownership and transfer (the “Ownership Limit”) contained in the Articles of Amendment and Restatement, as supplemented, of Kilroy Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Kilroy”), and, with respect to the Series E Preferred Stock, as described in the Prospectus dated October , 2003 of Kilroy.

Our Ownership Limit is set at 7% of our outstanding common stock and will be set at 9.8% of our Series E Preferred Stock, and is based on actual or constructive ownership for federal income tax purposes. The constructive ownership rules are complex, and provide, in part, that an investor may be deemed to own stock held by others, including, members of an investor’s family, entities in which an investor owns specified interests, and, in the case of investors which are entities, owners of specified interests in such investor. These rules are in many respects dissimilar to the rules employed for determining ownership for purposes of the reporting requirements imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. For example, for federal income tax purposes, an investment advisor would not be treated as the constructive owner of shares owned beneficially by an investor merely because such advisor had the power to vote and/or dispose of the shares on behalf of the investor.

In connection with your inquiry, you have indicated that all shares of Kilroy common stock and Series E Preferred Stock held and to be held by Cohen & Steers are and will be held on behalf of, and in the accounts of, specific, third-party investors (the “Investors”) who are and will be the beneficial owners of such shares for federal income tax purposes (i.e., they are the persons who report the Kilroy dividends on their tax returns). We further understand that (i) Cohen & Steers has not owned, and does not and will not own, actively or constructively (as determined for federal income tax purposes), any shares of our common stock or Series E Preferred Stock and (ii) the number of shares actually or constructively owned (as determined for federal income tax purposes) for any single Investor has not exceeded, does not now exceed, and, after Cohen & Steers’ purchase of Kilroy’s Series E Preferred Stock, will not exceed, [ ]% of either of Kilroy’s outstanding common stock or Series E Preferred Stock.

E-1

Provided that the foregoing statements are and continue to be correct, we are pleased to inform you that Cohen & Steers’ beneficial ownership of these shares for securities law purposes will not cause Cohen & Steers to own such shares for purposes of the Ownership Limit. As a result, provided the Investors’ ownership of such shares is otherwise consistent with the Ownership Limit, Cohen & Steers is not required to seek or obtain a Waiver with respect to ownership of this stock.

As always, please feel free to contact us should you have additional questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

of Kilroy Realty Corporation
