  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
  On March 7, 2013, a subsidiary of Parkway Properties, Inc. (the "
  Company
  ") entered into an $84.5 million nonrecourse mortgage loan (the "
  Deerwood Loan
  ").  In addition, on February 21, 2013, a different subsidiary of the Company entered into an $80.0 million nonrecourse mortgage loan (the "
  Phoenix Tower Loan
  "), resulting in an aggregate of $164.5 million of indebtedness being incurred by subsidiaries of the Company.
  The Deerwood Loan is secured by eight office properties totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet of space located in the Deerwood submarket of Jacksonville, Florida, which a subsidiary of the Company acquired on March 7, 2013.  The Deerwood Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.9% and matures on April 1, 2023.  Payments of interest only are due on the loan for three years, after which the principal amount of the loan begins amortizing over a 30-year period until maturity.  The loan is pre-payable after May 1, 2015, but any such prepayment is subject to a yield maintenance premium.  The agreement governing the Deerwood Loan contains 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.
  The Phoenix Tower Loan is secured by Phoenix Tower, a 626,000 square foot office tower located in the Greenway Plaza submarket of Houston, Texas, which a subsidiary of the Company purchased on December 20, 2012.  The Phoenix Tower Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.9% and matures on March 1, 2023.  Payments of interest only are due on the loan for two years, after which the principal amount of the loan begins amortizing over a 25-year period until maturity.  The loan is pre-payable after March 1, 2015, but any such prepayment is subject to a yield maintenance premium.
