	 	2.4	At all stages the employee will be advised in writing of the nature of the complaint against him or her and will be given a reasonable opportunity to consider his/her response to the complaint before any disciplinary
interview. 

  

	 	2.5	The employee will be invited to attend a disciplinary meeting and will be given an opportunity at that interview to state his or her case before any decision is made. There are certain circumstances in which a
disciplinary meeting may not be held; these include where the disciplinary action consists of an oral warning, a written warning or suspension on full pay and in exceptional cases where an interview is neither necessary nor appropriate.

  

	 	2.6	At all stages the employee will have the right to be accompanied by a work colleague or by a trade union official during the disciplinary meeting and any appeal. Further details about the right to be accompanied are set
out under section B, paragraph 4 below. 

  

	 	2.7	After the disciplinary interview, the employee will be informed of the disciplinary decision and of any disciplinary sanction imposed.

	 	2.9	An employee will have the right to appeal against any disciplinary sanction imposed (see section B, paragraph 5 below). 

  

	 	2.10	The procedure may be implemented at any stage if the employee’s alleged misconduct or performance warrants such action. 

  

	3.	The Procedure 

 Minor faults will be dealt with informally but where the matter is more
serious the following procedure and sanctions will apply:- 
 Stage 1 – Oral Warning 

If conduct or performance does not meet acceptable standards, the employee will normally be given a formal oral warning. He or she will be
advised of the reason for the warning, that it is the first stage of the disciplinary procedure and of his or her right of appeal. A brief note of the oral warning will be kept on the employee’s personnel file. 

Stage 2 – Written Warning 

If the offence is a serious one, or if a further offence occurs, a written warning will be given to the employee. This will give details of the
complaint, the improvement required and the timescale. It will warn that action under Stage 3 will be considered if there is repetition of such conduct or if there is no satisfactory improvement and will advise of the right of appeal. A copy of this
written warning will be kept on the employee’s personnel file. 
 Stage 3 – Final Written Warning or Disciplinary Suspension 

If conduct or performance is still unsatisfactory, or if the misconduct is sufficiently serious to warrant only one written warning (in effect
both first and final written warning) but insufficiently serious to justify dismissal, a final written warning will normally be given to the employee. This will give details of the complaint, or warn that dismissal will result if there is repetition
of such conduct or there is no satisfactory improvement and will advise of the right of appeal. A copy of this final written warning will be kept on the employee’s personnel file. Alternatively, consideration will be given to imposing a penalty
of disciplinary suspension without pay for up to a maximum of five working days. 
 Stage 4 – Dismissal 

If conduct or performance is still unsatisfactory and the employee still fails to reach the prescribed standards, dismissal will normally
result. As an alternative to dismissal it may be considered that demotion or the reallocation of duties is an appropriate sanction. The procedure as set out in section B below will apply in these circumstances. 

 

	4.	Gross Misconduct 

  

	 	4.1	The following (non-exhaustive) list provides examples of offences which are normally regarded as gross misconduct:- 

  

	 	•	 	Theft, fraud, deliberate falsification of records. 

  

	 	•	 	Physical violence. 

  

	 	•	 	Bullying, harassment, victimisation or discrimination. 

  

	 	•	 	Deliberate damage to company property. 

  

	 	•	 	Being concerned or interested in action which is damaging or anti-competitive to the business of the company. 

  
 13 

	 	•	 	Serious incapability through alcohol or being under the influence of illegal drugs. 

  

	 	•	 	Serious negligence which causes unacceptable loss, damage or injury. 

  

	 	•	 	Deliberately accessing internet sites containing pornographic, offensive or obscene material. 

  

	 	•	 	Serious insubordination. 

  

	 	•	 	Bringing the Company into serious disrepute. 

  

	 	•	 	Serious sexual or racial abuse. 

  

	 	•	 	Serious breach of confidence. 

  

	 	•	 	Serious breach of health and safety rules. 

  

	 	4.2	If You are accused of an act of gross misconduct or other serious misconduct. You may be suspended from work on full pay or without pay, while the Company investigates the alleged offence. If on completion of the
investigation and the full disciplinary procedure the Company is satisfied that gross misconduct has occurred, the result will normally be summary dismissal without notice or payment in lieu of notice. The procedure in section B below will apply.

  

	 	4.3	In exceptional cases of gross misconduct, the Company may consider it appropriate to dismiss the employee immediately, without an investigation or a disciplinary interview. If this happens, the employee will be notified
in writing of the alleged gross misconduct which has led to the dismissal, the reasons for thinking at the time of dismissal that the employee was guilty of the alleged misconduct and the employee’s right of appeal. If an employee wishes to
appeal against such a dismissal he or she should inform the Managing Director within five working days of receipt of the written notification. 

  

	5.	Appeals 

 An employee who wishes to appeal against a disciplinary decision should follow
the procedure set out in section B, paragraph 5 below. 
 Section B – Dismissal Procedure 

 

	1.	Purpose and Scope 

  

	 	1.1	This procedure sets out the steps that will be followed when the Company is contemplating the dismissal of any employee. It reflects the statutory minimum dismissal procedure. Please note that this procedure does not
apply to situations where warning is the only action considered. It will apply where certain action short of dismissal is considered, such as demotion or reallocation of duties, where such disciplinary action is imposed as an alternative to
dismissal. 

  

	 	1.2	This procedure is non-contractual (even to the extent that such of its provisions are a requirement of statute). 

  

	2.	When does this procedure apply? 

 This procedure will in principle apply when the Company has reason to
consider dismissing an employee on the grounds of conduct, lack of capability, including poor performance, absence from work, redundancy (unless specific exemptions apply, for example the sudden closure of the business or multiple redundancies where
the collective consultation obligations arise) compulsory retirement, non-renewal of a limited term contract or some other substantial reason (unless a specific exemption applies). 

  
 14 

	3.	The Procedure 

 There are three stages to the procedure. 

 

	 	•	 	Stage 1 – Statement and Invitation to meeting. 

 The employee will be advised in
writing of the proposed dismissal and the reasons which led to the proposal. The employee will be invited to a meeting to discuss the proposal. Prior to the meeting, the employee will be given a reasonable opportunity to consider his or her response
to the proposed dismissal. 
  

	 	•	 	Stage 2 – Meeting 

 At the meeting, the employee will be given the opportunity to
discuss the proposed dismissal and any point he or she may wish to raise in this respect. The employee will then be informed in writing of the outcome of the meeting and the employee’s right to appeal against that decision. 

 

	 	•	 	Stage 3 

 An employee who wishes to appeal against a decision to dismiss should inform
the Managing Director in writing within five working days. The employee will then be invited to attend an appeal hearing. The Managing Director will hear any appeal and his or her decision is final. After the appeal, the employee will be informed in
writing of the appeal decision. For more details of the right to appeal, please refer to paragraph 5 below. 
  

	4.	Right to be Accompanied 

  

	 	4.1	The employee has the right to be accompanied at any hearing (including an appeal hearing) by a single companion who is either a fellow employee of the Company or a trade union official. 

 

	 	4.2	The companion has the right to address the hearing, to put the employee’s case, to sum up that case and to respond on the employee’s behalf to any view expressed at the hearing, unless the employee indicates
that he or she does not wish the companion to do so. If the companion cannot attend on the date the Company has set for the appeal, then the Company can postpone the appeal for up to five days and may (at the Company’s discretion) postpone it
for longer. 

  

	5.	Right of Appeal 

  

	 	5.1	An appeal may be made against a disciplinary decision or a decision to dismiss by informing the Managing Director in writing within five working days of the dismissal. 

 

	 	5.2	All appeals must set out the grounds on which the appeal is being made. 

  

	 	5.3	The employee will be Invited to an appeal hearing and he or she will have the right to be accompanied at that hearing. The appeal hearing will reconsider the original decision. The employee will have an opportunity to
put forward should he or she so wish, new evidence which was not available during the first hearing and/or complaints of a flaw in the original decision making process, such as the failure to follow procedures or the failure to give a fair hearing.

  

	 	5.4	The outcome of any appeal will be confirmed to the employee in writing. 

  

	 	5.5	There is no further right of appeal from the decision of the Managing Director whose decision will be final. 

Section C – Grievance Procedure 
 In order to ensure
that employees have every opportunity to raise any grievances which they may have arising out of their employment and to ensure that these grievances are properly heard and resolved, the Company has adopted this grievance procedure. Employees should
not hesitate to 

  
 15 

 
use this procedure which has been adopted in recognition of the fact that, whilst the Company’s policies are designed to encourage good working relationships, from time to time there may be
circumstances, due to pressure of work or otherwise, in which misunderstandings or grievances may arise concerning decisions of management or other specific situations. Redress of grievances may be sought orally in the first instance or in writing
in accordance with the following procedure. 
 Stage 1 

A member of staff who feels that he or she has a question or grievance which concerns him or her personally and directly and which requires resolution should,
in the first instance, discuss the matter informally with his or her immediate superior. The matter will then be discussed. Whilst most grievances, problems and other day to day issues can be resolved at this stage, the person dealing with the
grievance will acquaint a Director of the circumstances if the matter proves not to be easy to resolve. 
 Stage 2 

If within a reasonable time of a matter having been raised at Stage 1, it cannot be resolved informally or the employee considers that he or she has not been
treated fairly, or that the outcome is not satisfactory, then the employee should raise the matter in writing with a Director, setting out the basis for the grievance. 

The Company will then, as soon as reasonably practicable, invite the employee to attend a meeting to discuss his or her grievance. The employee must take all
reasonable steps to attend the meeting. 
 The Company will write to the employee as soon as possible to inform the employee of its decision. The employee
will be informed of his or her right to appeal the Company’s decision. 
 Appeal 

If the employee wishes to appeal against the decision he or she may do so by writing to the Managing Director within 5 days of being notified of the
Director’s decision. A further meeting will be arranged to hear the appeal which the employee must take all reasonable steps to attend. After the appeal meeting, the Company will inform the employee of the Managing Director’s decision,
which shall be final. 
 The employee has the right to be accompanied by a fellow member of staff or a trade union representative at any grievance hearing.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT
This AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of December 15, 2014 by and between Parkway Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) and TPG VI Management, LLC (the “Manager”).
WHEREAS, on June 5, 2012, the Company and the Manager entered into the Management Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) setting forth, among other things, the terms and conditions upon which the Manager provides certain management, advisory and consulting services to the Company;
Whereas, Section 8 of the Agreement provides that the Agreement may be amended by a writing executed by the Company and the Manager; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Manager desire to amend the Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Manager, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1.    Amendment of the Agreement.  Section 2(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
During the Term, as compensation for the services provided by the Manager and the Manager Designees under this Agreement, the Company will pay to the Manager (or its Manager Designee(s)) in cash an aggregate annual retainer fee (the “Monitoring Fee”) as follows: (i) six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000) for the period ending on date that is the first anniversary of the date hereof (the “Initial Period”); and (ii) one million dollars ($1,000,000) per annum for each year thereafter so long as TPG has the right to nominate four (4) directors to the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement; provided, that the Monitoring Fee shall be reduced to (a) seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) (or four hundred fifty thousand dollars ($450,000) during the Initial Period) from and after the date on which the number of directors which TPG has the right to nominate to the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement is reduced to three (3), (b) five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) (or three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) during the Initial Period) from and after the date on which the number of directors which TPG has the right to nominate to the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement is reduced to two (2), (c) two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) (or one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) during the Initial Period) from and after the date on which the number of directors which TPG has the right to nominate to the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement is reduced to one (1), and (e) zero dollars ($0) from and after the date on which the number of directors which TPG has the right to 

nominate to the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement has been reduced to zero (0).  The Monitoring Fee will be paid in four (4) equal quarterly payments in advance, on the date during such quarter on which the Corporation is to pay its quarterly Common Stock dividend, and if no such dividend is paid during such period, the last day of such quarter (or if any such date is not a day where banks in New York, New York are able to be open for business, on the next day where such banks are able to be open for business).  The Monitoring Fee payable to the Manager (or its Manager Designee(s)), shall be made in lieu of any director fees payable to the designated nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement.

2.    Effect of Amendment.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of this Amendment will control. Except to the extent expressly modified herein or in conflict with the terms of this Amendment, the terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and its provisions shall be binding on the parties hereto. From and after the date hereof, all references in the Agreement to the “Agreement” shall mean the Agreement as modified by this Amendment. The amendments to the Agreement contemplated by this Amendment shall be deemed effective immediately upon the execution of this Amendment by the parties hereto. There are no conditions precedent or subsequent to the effectiveness of this Amendment.
3.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Amendment and all matters arising under or related to this Amendment will be governed and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.  Any action or proceeding against any of the parties hereto relating in any way to this Amendment must be brought and enforced exclusively in the courts of the State of New York or (to the extent subject matter jurisdiction exists therefor) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in Manhattan, and the parties irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of both such courts in respect of any such action or proceeding.  Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Amendment or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
4.    Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by each of the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed will be deemed to be an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement.
5.    Further Assurances.  Each party to this Amendment shall execute and deliver such documents and shall take such actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the transactions described in this Amendment.
