(the &#8220;General Partner&#8221;), entered into Amendment No. 1 (&#8220;Amendment No. 1&#8221;) to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Parkway Properties LP (the &#8220;Partnership Agreement&#8221;) effective as of December 19, 2013. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Among other things, Amendment No. 1 amended the provision of the Partnership Agreement prohibiting the General Partner from merging, consolidating or selling all or substantially all of its assets or reclassifying, recapitalizing or changing its outstanding equity interests (a &#8220;Termination Transaction&#8221;) unless certain conditions are satisfied, by removing the General Partner from this prohibition and applying the prohibition instead to the Company.  Pursuant to the amendment effected by Amendment No. 1, the Company may not engage in a Termination Transaction unless certain specified conditions are satisfied or unless partners representing at least 66 2/3 of the percentage interests consent to the transaction and the limited partners receive or have the right to receive cash, securities or other property in an amount calculated pursuant to the agreement to be generally equivalent to the consideration received by the holders of shares in the Company. Except as amended by the Amendment No. 1, the remaining terms of the Partnership Agreement remain in full force and effect.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition, on December 19, 2013, Mr. James A. Thomas and certain of his related parties entered into a tax protection agreement with Parkway LP (the &#8220;New Tax Protection Agreement&#8221;), that replaced  an agreement originally entered into between TPG LP and Mr. Thomas (and certain of his related parties) dated October 13, 2004 (the &#8220;Original Tax Protection Agreement&#8221;).  The New Tax Protection Agreement continued and updated the obligations under the Original Tax Protection Agreement with certain changes, including an undertaking by Parkway LP to offer certain related parties of Mr. Thomas the opportunity to guarantee, in the aggregate, up to $39 million of direct or indirect &#8220;qualifying&#8221; indebtedness of Parkway LP and agreement as to the method that Parkway LP will adopt in allocating depreciation with respect to certain of the properties acquired from TPGI and TGP LP.  The obligations of Parkway LP under the New Tax Protection Agreement expire on October 13, 2016, although, as with the Original Tax Protection Agreement, Parkway LP agrees to offer the Thomas-related parties opportunities to guarantee qualifying indebtedness thereafter to the extent such indebtedness is available.  A copy of the Original Tax Protection Agreement has been filed as Exhibit F to Exhibit 10.3 of TPGI&#8217;s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 22, 2004.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A copy of Amendment No. 1 and the New Tax Protection Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated by reference herein.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Parent Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of TPGI (&#8220;TPGI Common Stock&#8221;) was converted into the right to receive 0.3822 (the &#8220;Exchange Ratio&#8221;) shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (&#8220;Parkway Common Stock&#8221;), with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares, and each share of TPGI limited voting stock, par value $0.01 per share (&#8220;TPGI Limited Voting Stock&#8221;), was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly created Company limited voting stock, par value $0.001 per share (&#8220;Parkway Limited Voting Stock&#8221;), equal to the Exchange Ratio. Similarly, at the effective time of the Partnership Merger, which occurred immediately prior to the Parent Merger, each outstanding limited partnership interest in TPG LP (&#8220;TPG LP Units&#8221;), including long term incentive units, was converted into </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">the right to receive a number of limited partnership units in Parkway LP (the &#8220;Parkway LP Units&#8221;) equal to the Exchange Ratio.  The Company issued 18,362,513 shares of Parkway Common Stock as consideration in the Parent Merger and Parkway LP issued 4,537,110 Parkway LP Units in the Partnership Merger. Based on the closing price of the Company&#8217;s common stock on December 19, 2013 as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, the aggregate value of the merger consideration paid or payable to former holders of TPGI Common Stock was approximately $331.4 million, and the aggregate value of Parkway LP Units, which are convertible into Parkway&#8217;s common stock, issued to former holders of TPG LP Units was approximately $81.9 million. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A copy of the Merger Agreement has been previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company&#8217;s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2013 and is incorporated by reference herein.

CityWestPlace is an approximately 1.4 million square foot office complex in Houston, Texas.  The mortgage secured by CityWestPlace I and II, with a principal amount of approximately $117.7 million, bears interest at a rate of 6.16% and matures on July 6, 2016.  The mortgage requires monthly payments of principal and interest and may not be prepaid prior to 90 days prior to the maturity date except that the mortgage may be defeased pursuant to customary defeasance procedures.  The mortgage is nonrecourse to the Company except that Parkway LP has guaranteed to the lender the payment of certain amounts to be paid in connection with the recently executed Statoil Oil Services lease.

  Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
  Pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 4, 2013 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Parkway Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), Parkway Properties LP ("Parkway LP"), PKY Masters, LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parkway LP ("Merger Sub"), Thomas Properties Group, Inc. ("TPGI") and Thomas Properties Group, L.P. ("TPG LP"), the Company and the Company's general partner, Parkway Properties General Partners Inc. (the "General Partner"), entered into Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Parkway Properties LP (the "Partnership Agreement") effective as of December 19, 2013.
  Among other things, Amendment No. 1 amended the provision of the Partnership Agreement prohibiting the General Partner from merging, consolidating or selling all or substantially all of its assets or reclassifying, recapitalizing or changing its outstanding equity interests (a "Termination Transaction") unless certain conditions are satisfied, by removing the General Partner from this prohibition and applying the prohibition instead to the Company.  Pursuant to the amendment effected by Amendment No. 1, the Company may not engage in a Termination Transaction unless certain specified conditions are satisfied or unless partners representing at least 66 2/3 of the percentage interests consent to the transaction and the limited partners receive or have the right to receive cash, securities or other property in an amount calculated pursuant to the agreement to be generally equivalent to the consideration received by the holders of shares in the Company. Except as amended by the Amendment No. 1, the remaining terms of the Partnership Agreement remain in full force and effect.
  In addition, on December 19, 2013, Mr. James A. Thomas and certain of his related parties entered into a tax protection agreement with Parkway LP (the "New Tax Protection Agreement"), that replaced  an agreement originally entered into between TPG LP and Mr. Thomas (and certain of his related parties) dated October 13, 2004 (the "Original Tax Protection Agreement").  The New Tax Protection Agreement continued and updated the obligations under the Original Tax Protection Agreement with certain changes, including an undertaking by Parkway LP to offer certain related parties of Mr. Thomas the opportunity to guarantee, in the aggregate, up to $39 million of direct or indirect "qualifying" indebtedness of Parkway LP and agreement as to the method that Parkway LP will adopt in allocating depreciation with respect to certain of the properties acquired from TPGI and TGP LP.  The obligations of Parkway LP under the New Tax Protection Agreement expire on October 13, 2016, although, as with the Original Tax Protection Agreement, Parkway LP agrees to offer the Thomas-related parties opportunities to guarantee qualifying indebtedness thereafter to the extent such indebtedness is available.  A copy of the Original Tax Protection Agreement has been filed as Exhibit F to Exhibit 10.3 of TPGI's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 22, 2004.
  A copy of Amendment No. 1 and the New Tax Protection Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of Amendment No. 1 and the New Tax Protection Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 1 and the New Tax Protection Agreement, respectively.
  Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
  On December 19, 2013, the Company completed the merger transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which TPGI merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Parent Merger"), and TPG LP merged with and into Merger Sub, with TPG LP continuing as the surviving entity and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parkway LP (the "Partnership Merger" and, together with the Parent Merger, the "Mergers"). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Parent Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of TPGI ("TPGI Common Stock") was converted into the right to receive 0.3822 (the "Exchange Ratio") shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Parkway Common Stock"), with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares, and each share of TPGI limited voting stock, par value $0.01 per share ("TPGI Limited Voting Stock"), was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly created Company limited voting stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Parkway Limited Voting Stock"), equal to the Exchange Ratio. Similarly, at the effective time of the Partnership Merger, which occurred immediately prior to the Parent Merger, each outstanding limited partnership interest in TPG LP ("TPG LP Units"), including long term incentive units, was converted into
  the right to receive a number of limited partnership units in Parkway LP (the "Parkway LP Units") equal to the Exchange Ratio.  The Company issued 18,362,513 shares of Parkway Common Stock as consideration in the Parent Merger and Parkway LP issued 4,537,110 Parkway LP Units in the Partnership Merger. Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on December 19, 2013 as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, the aggregate value of the merger consideration paid or payable to former holders of TPGI Common Stock was approximately $331.4 million, and the aggregate value of Parkway LP Units, which are convertible into Parkway's common stock, issued to former holders of TPG LP Units was approximately $81.9 million.
  A copy of the Merger Agreement has been previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2013 and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement.
  Item 2.03 Creation of Direct Financial Obligations.
  In connection with the completion of the Mergers, on December 19, 2013, subsidiaries of the Company assumed three mortgages secured by the CityWestPlace properties.
  Two subsidiaries of the Company assumed two nonrecourse mortgage loans secured by CityWestPlace I and II and CityWestPlace III and IV.  CityWestPlace is an approximately 1.4 million square foot office complex in Houston, Texas.  The mortgage secured by CityWestPlace I and II, with a principal amount of approximately $117.7 million, bears interest at a rate of 6.16% and matures on July 6, 2016.  The mortgage requires monthly payments of principal and interest and may not be prepaid prior to 90 days prior to the maturity date except that the mortgage may be defeased pursuant to customary defeasance procedures.  The mortgage is nonrecourse to the Company except that Parkway LP has guaranteed to the lender the payment of certain amounts to be paid in connection with the recently executed Statoil Oil Services lease.  The mortgage secured by CityWestPlace III and IV, for a principal amount of approximately $93.5 million, bears interest at a rate of 5.03% and matures on March 5, 2020.  The mortgage requires monthly payments of principal and interest and may be prepaid with a prepayment fee equal to the greater of 1% of the amount prepaid or a yield maintenance based calculation, provided no prepayment fee is due during the last 60 days prior to maturity.  Parkway LP has executed a guaranty of certain customary exceptions to non-recourse liability.
  The agreements governing all of the mortgages contain customary rights of the lender to accelerate the loan upon, among other things, a payment default or if certain representations and warranties made by the borrower are untrue.
