Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain Limited Partnership Agreement of Parkway

WHEREAS, Parkway and the General Partner have provided notice to TRST that
Parkway and Parkway Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Parkway Parent”),

WHEREAS, TRST, as a limited partner of the Partnership, wishes to agree that the
execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) shall not constitute (1) a “Change
of Control” under the Partnership Agreement, including under Sections 9.4 or
13.1 thereof, (2) “Cause” under the Partnership Agreement, including under
Section 13.1 thereof, or (3) a restricted “transfer” or “Transfer” by PPLP or
the General Partner of their respective interests under the Partnership
Agreement, including under Section 12.1 thereof.

WHEREAS, TRST, as a limited partner of the Partnership, the General Partner,
Parkway and Cousins, as the successor in interest to Parkway Parent upon
consummation of the Merger, wish to agree to the modification of the Partnership
Agreement as set forth in the attached Amendment, which shall become
automatically effective upon the Closing (as such term is defined in the Merger
Agreement).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and
other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree
as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.
Information Regarding Merger. Cousins agrees to furnish such other material
information regarding the status of the Merger as TRST may reasonably request,
provided that Cousins shall not be required to disclose such material
information where such disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege
of Cousins or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree or
binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this letter agreement.
Cousins shall promptly notify TRST if the Merger Agreement has been terminated.

2.
Representation and Warranty. The General Partner and Cousins represent and
warrant that the Merger, if consummated, will not have a material adverse effect
on the ability of the General Partner to perform its obligations pursuant to the
Partnership Agreement.

3.
Effectiveness of Amendment. Upon the Closing of the Merger, the attached
Amendment shall become automatically effective.

4.
Agreement Regarding Merger. TRST hereby agrees that the execution of the Merger
Agreement and the Transactions shall not constitute (1) a “Change of Control”
under the Partnership Agreement, including under Sections 9.4 or 13.1 thereof,
(2) “Cause” under the Partnership Agreement, including under Section 13.1
thereof, or (3) a restricted “transfer” or “Transfer” by PPLP or the General
Partner of their respective interests under the Partnership Agreement, including
under Section 12.1 thereof.

5.
Drop Dead Date. If the Closing of the Merger does not occur on or prior to March
31, 2017, or Cousins gives notice in writing to TRST that the Merger Agreement
has been terminated, this letter agreement and the Amendment shall become null
and void ab initio.

6.

of the terms of this letter agreement based on the form of signature.

9.
Counterparts. This letter agreement may be executed and delivered in any number
of counterparts, each of which so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be
an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
