(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.01 and Section 2.02(a), a Party shall not be bound by the obligations set forth therein:

1. if the Party determines in good faith, based upon the advice of counsel recognized as expert in such matters or a nationally recognized public accounting firm, that it is not “more likely than not” that such treatment would be upheld by court, provided that as a condition thereto, the Party receiving such advice shall have given written notice thereof to the Party (or Parties) that would be adversely affected by the change in the intended treatment of the transactions (together with a copy of that advice), and provided further that if, within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof, the adversely affected Party provides the first Party an opinion of counsel recognized as expert in such matters or a nationally recognized public accounting firm, that it is “more likely than not” that such treatment would be upheld by court, then all Parties shall continue to be bound by Section 2.01 (other than Section 2.01(i)) and Section 2.02(a) with respect thereto; or

(c) No later than thirty (30) days following the Distribution Effective Time, New Parkway shall provide to Cousins the information reasonably requested by Cousins to calculate the tax basis in the interests in Legacy Parkway LP deemed contributed to New Parkway as a result of the Issuance, as contemplated in Section 2.01(c) above.

(a) in connection with the preparation of any Combined Tax Return pursuant to Section 3.01 or any Cousins Separate Tax Return pursuant to Section 3.02 that may include Tax Items relating to the activities or assets of the New Parkway Business, New Parkway will (and will cause the New Parkway Entities to) assist and cooperate with Cousins by preparing and providing to Cousins such information and other documentation as may be reasonably requested by or reasonably necessary to enable Cousins, in such form as Cousins may reasonably request,

Cousins shall deliver to New Parkway for its review a draft of any Combined Tax Return or Cousins Separate Tax Return, in each case, if such Tax Return reflects or relates to Taxes for which New Parkway LP would reasonably be expected to be liable hereunder, at least sixty (60) days prior to the Due Date for such Tax Return to enable New Parkway to analyze and comment on such Tax Return (along with a statement setting forth the calculation of the Tax shown due and payable on such Tax Return reimbursable by New Parkway LP under Sections 3.01 or 3.02). Cousins shall consider any such comments received from New Parkway in good faith and Cousins and New Parkway shall attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising out of the review of any such Tax Return; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent Cousins from timely filing (or causing to be filed) any such Tax Return.

Section 4.02. Procedures Relating to New Parkway Separate Tax Returns. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.04:

(a) in connection with the preparation of any New Parkway Separate Tax Return pursuant to Section 3.03 that may include Tax Items relating to the activities or assets of the Cousins Business, whether prior to or following the Issuance Time, Cousins will (and will cause the Cousins Entities to) assist and cooperate with New Parkway by preparing and providing to New Parkway such information and other documentation as may be reasonably requested by or reasonably necessary to enable New Parkway, in such form as New Parkway may reasonably request, to prepare such New Parkway Separate Tax Return, with such information and other documentation to be delivered no later than sixty (60) days following New Parkway’s request therefor (or one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the calendar year, if later).

(b) in the case of any New Parkway Separate Tax Return that reflects or relates to Taxes for which Cousins LP would reasonably be expected to be liable hereunder, New Parkway shall (1) unless otherwise required by Article II, or by Law or agreed to in writing by Cousins, prepare (or cause to be prepared) such Tax Return in a manner consistent with Past Practice to

the extent such items affect the Taxes for which Cousins LP may be responsible pursuant to this Agreement, and (2) submit to Cousins a draft of any such Tax Return (along with a statement setting forth the calculation of the Tax shown due and payable on such Tax Return reimbursable by Cousins LP under Section 3.03) at least sixty (60) days prior to the Due Date for such Tax Return to enable Cousins to analyze and comment on such Tax Return. New Parkway shall consider any such comments received from Cousins in good faith and Cousins and New Parkway shall attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising out of the review of any such New Parkway Separate Tax Return. Any disputes that the Parties are unable to resolve shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 10.01. In the event that any dispute is not resolved (whether pursuant to good faith negotiations among the Parties or by the Accounting Firm) prior to the Due Date for the filing of any such New Parkway Separate Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be timely filed (or caused to be filed) by New Parkway, and the Parties shall agree to amend such Tax Return as necessary to reflect the resolution of such dispute in a manner consistent with such resolution.

Section 4.03. Preparation of all Tax Returns. Except as required by Article II, or applicable Law or as a result of a Final Determination, (i) neither Cousins nor New Parkway shall (nor shall cause or permit any members of the Cousins Group or New Parkway Group, respectively, to), with respect to a specific item of income, deduction, gain, loss, or credit on any Tax Return, treat such specific item in a manner that is inconsistent with the manner such specific item is to be reported on a Tax Return prepared or filed by Cousins pursuant to Article III hereof (a “Cousins Tax Return”) (including, without limitation, the claiming of a deduction previously claimed on any such Cousins Tax Return) and (ii) Cousins and New Parkway shall (and shall cause the members of the Cousins Group and New Parkway Group, respectively, to) prepare all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Separation and Distribution Agreement, including, without limitation, Article II hereof.

Section 4.04. Tax Returns Reflecting Restructuring/Distribution Taxes and Restructuring Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Articles III, IV and V, the portion of any Tax Return that relates to any Restructuring/Distribution Taxes or any Restructuring Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and approved by Cousins in the manner determined by Cousins in its sole discretion, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02 (including, without limitation, the provisions thereof relating to consultation).

Section 5.01. Timing of Payments. All Taxes required to be paid or caused to be paid pursuant to Article III or Article IV by either Cousins LP or New Parkway LP, as the case may be, to an applicable Taxing Authority or to be reimbursed by Cousins LP or New Parkway LP to the other Party (or any member of its Group) pursuant to this Agreement, shall, in the case of a payment to a Taxing Authority, be paid on or before the Due Date for the payment of such Taxes and, in the case of a payment to the other Party, be paid at least two (2) business days before the Due Date for the payment of such Taxes by the other Party.

Section 5.02. Expenses. Except as expressly provided herein (including, Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section 3.04 and Section 10.01(b)), each Party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with Articles III, IV and V.

Section 5.03. Apportionment of New Parkway Taxes. For all purposes of this Agreement, Cousins shall determine in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, after consultation with New Parkway, which Tax Items are properly attributable to assets or activities of the New Parkway Business for periods from and after the Issuance Time (and in the case of a Tax Item that is properly attributable to both the New Parkway Group from and after the Issuance Time and the Cousins Group, the allocation of such Tax Item between the New Parkway Group and the Cousins Group).

Section 6.01. Indemnification by Cousins. Cousins LP shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold New Parkway LP and the New Parkway Entities harmless from and against, without duplication, (i) all Cousins Taxes, and (ii) any costs and expenses related to the foregoing (including reasonable fees of attorneys and experts and out-of-pocket expenses).

Section 6.02. Indemnification by New Parkway. New Parkway LP shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold Cousins LP and the Cousins Entities harmless from and against, without duplication, (i) all New Parkway Taxes, and (ii) any costs and expenses related to the foregoing (including reasonable fees of attorneys and experts and out-of-pocket expenses).

(a) For all Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat (and to cause their respective Affiliates to treat) (i) any payment required by this Agreement (other than payments with respect to interest, pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or Section 10.03 hereof, accruing after the Distribution Effective Time) as either a contribution by Cousins to New Parkway or a distribution by New Parkway to Cousins, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Issuance or as a payment of an assumed or retained Liability and (ii) any payment of non-U.S. federal Taxes by or to a Taxing Authority or any payment of interest as taxable or deductible, as the case may be, to the Party entitled under this Agreement to retain such payment or required under this Agreement to make such payment, in each case, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b) Any indemnification payment under this Article VI and under Article IV of the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall be increased to take into account any inclusion in income of the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of such indemnity payment (including, but not limited to, any additional REIT Taxes resulting therefrom) and shall be decreased to take into account any reduction in income of the Indemnified Party arising from such indemnified Liability (including, but not limited to, any reduction in REIT Taxes resulting therefrom). For purposes hereof, any modification in the amount of an indemnification payment on account of Taxes (including, but not limited to, REIT Taxes) shall be determined (i) using the highest marginal rates in effect for Cousins, in the case of an Indemnified Party that is a member of the Cousins Group, or the highest marginal rates in effect for New Parkway, in the case of an Indemnified Party that is a member of the New Parkway Group, in each case, at the time of the determination and (ii) assuming that the Indemnified Party will be liable for Taxes at such rate and has no Tax Attributes at the time of the determination.

Section 6.04. Timing of Indemnification Payments. Indemnification payments required pursuant to this Article VI shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days of delivery by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party of an invoice for the amount due, accompanied by evidence of payment and a reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification payment.

Section 6.05. Certain Tax Procedures. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 4.11 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall apply with respect to any indemnification payments required to be made pursuant to this Agreement.

(a) Cousins LP shall be entitled to all Refunds of Taxes for which Cousins LP is or may be responsible pursuant to this Agreement, and New Parkway LP shall be entitled to all Refunds of Taxes for which New Parkway LP is or may be responsible pursuant to this Agreement. A Party receiving a Refund to which the other Party is entitled pursuant to this Agreement shall pay the amount to which such other Party is entitled within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Refund.

(b) In the event of an Adjustment for which one Party (the “Responsible Party”) is or may be responsible pursuant to this Agreement which would have given rise to a Refund but for an offset against the Taxes for which the other Party (the “Benefited Party”) is or may be liable pursuant to this Agreement, then the Benefited Party shall pay to the Responsible Party, within ten (10) days of the Final Determination of such Adjustment an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such hypothetical Refund or (ii) the amount of such reduction in the Taxes of the Benefited Party, in each case plus interest at the rate set forth in Section 6621(a)(1) of the Code on such amount for the period from the filing date of the Tax Return that would have given rise to such Refund to the payment date.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 7.01(a), to the extent that a Party applies or causes to be applied an overpayment of Taxes as a credit toward or a reduction in Taxes otherwise payable (or a Taxing Authority requires such application in lieu of a Refund) and such overpayment of Taxes, if received as a Refund, would have been payable by such Party to the other Party pursuant to this Section 7.01, such Party shall pay such amount to the other Party no later than the Due Date of the Tax Return for which such overpayment is applied to reduce Taxes otherwise payable.

(d) To the extent that the amount of any Refund under this Section 7.01 is later reduced pursuant to an Adjustment, such reduction shall be allocated to the Party to which such Refund was allocated pursuant to this Section 7.01 and an appropriate adjusting payment shall be made.

Section 7.02. Treatment of Deductions Associated with Equity-Related Compensation. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or a Final Determination, solely Cousins shall be entitled to claim any Tax deduction associated with the vesting or settlement of any Cousins restricted stock or other equity-based compensation awards granted in connection with the performance of services (and the payment of any dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to restricted stock awards). Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or a Final Determination, with respect to any Tax deduction associated with the vesting or settlement of any Legacy Parkway restricted stock or other equity-based compensation awards granted in connection with the performance of services, (i) if the employee will continue as an employee of New Parkway or any Subsidiary of New Parkway, solely New Parkway shall be entitled to claim any Tax deduction associated with the vesting or settlement of any such restricted stock or other equity-based compensation awards, and (ii) otherwise, Cousin shall be entitled to claim any Tax deduction associated therewith.

Section 8.01. Notification of Tax Proceedings. Within thirty (30) days after an Indemnified Party becomes aware of the commencement of a Tax Proceeding that may give rise to Taxes for which an Indemnifying Party is responsible pursuant to Article VI, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of such Tax Proceeding, and thereafter shall promptly forward or make available to the Indemnifying Party copies of notices and communications relating to such Tax Proceeding. The failure of the Indemnified Party to notify

the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any such Tax Proceeding within such thirty (30)-day period or promptly forward any further notices or communications shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

(a) Generally. Except as provided in Section 8.02(c)(i), Cousins (or such member of the Cousins Group as Cousins shall designate) shall have the sole right to control any Tax Proceeding and represent the interests of the members of the Cousins Group and the members of the New Parkway Group and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense in any Tax Proceeding (including any Tax Proceeding with respect to Restructuring/Distribution Taxes) relating to (i) any Combined Tax Return, (ii) any Cousins Separate Tax Return and (iii) any Restructuring/Distribution Taxes or any Restructuring Transfer Taxes (each, a “Cousins Tax Proceeding”). Except as provided in Section 8.02(c)(ii), New Parkway (or such member of the New Parkway Group as New Parkway shall designate) shall have the sole right to represent the interests of the members of the New Parkway Group and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense in any Tax Proceeding relating to any New Parkway Separate Tax Return other than a Tax Proceeding relating to a Cousins Separate Tax Return (a “New Parkway Tax Proceeding”).

(b) Power of Attorney. New Parkway shall (and shall cause the members of the New Parkway Group to) execute and deliver to Cousins (or such member of the Cousins Group as Cousins shall designate) any power of attorney or other document requested by Cousins (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Proceeding described in the first sentence of Section 8.02(a). Cousins shall (and shall cause the members of the Cousins Group to) execute and deliver to New Parkway (or such member of the New Parkway Group as New Parkway shall designate) any power of attorney or other document requested by New Parkway (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Proceeding described in the second sentence of Section 8.02(a).

(i) Cousins Tax Proceedings. In the event of any Cousins Tax Proceeding the resolution of which could reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification obligation of New Parkway LP pursuant to Article VI, (A) Cousins shall consult with New Parkway reasonably in advance of taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (B) Cousins shall consult with New Parkway and offer New Parkway a reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (C) Cousins shall defend such Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith as if it were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax Proceeding, and (D) Cousins shall provide New Parkway copies of any written materials relating to such Tax Proceeding received from the relevant Taxing Authority. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, the final determination of the positions taken, including with respect to settlement or other disposition, in (x) any Cousins Tax Proceeding relating to Restructuring/Distribution Taxes or Restructuring Transfer Taxes or (y) any other Cousins Tax Proceeding which could not reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification obligation of New Parkway LP

pursuant to Article VI in excess of $250,000, shall be made in the sole discretion of Cousins and shall be final and not subject to the dispute resolution provisions of Section 10.01 (or Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement). With respect to any Cousins Tax Proceeding (other than any Cousins Tax Proceeding relating to Restructuring/Distribution Taxes or Restructuring Transfer Taxes) which could reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification obligation of New Parkway LP pursuant to Article VI in excess of $250,000, New Parkway shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceeding at its own expense, and Cousins shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of New Parkway, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(ii) New Parkway Tax Proceedings. In the event of any New Parkway Tax Proceeding the resolution of which could reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification obligation of Cousins LP pursuant to Article VI, (A) New Parkway shall consult with Cousins reasonably in advance of taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (B) New Parkway shall consult with Cousins and offer Cousins a reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (C) New Parkway shall defend such Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith as if it were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax Proceeding, and (D) New Parkway shall provide Cousins copies of any written materials relating to such Tax Proceeding received from the relevant Taxing Authority. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, the final determination of the positions taken, including with respect to settlement or other disposition, in any New Parkway Tax Proceeding which could not reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification obligation of Cousins LP pursuant to Article VI in excess of $250,000, shall be made in the sole discretion of New Parkway and shall be final and not subject to the dispute resolution provisions of Section 10.01 (or Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement). With respect to any New Parkway Tax Proceeding which could reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification obligation of Cousins LP pursuant to Article VI in excess of $250,000, Cousins shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceeding at its own expense, and New Parkway shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of Cousins, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(a) The Parties shall each cooperate fully (and each shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to cooperate fully) with all reasonable requests in writing (“Information Request”) from another Party hereto, or from an agent or Representative of such Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns (including the preparation of Tax Packages), claims for Refunds, Tax Proceedings, and calculations of amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, related or attributable to or arising in connection with tax reporting requirements or Taxes of any of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries covered by this Agreement and the establishment of any reserve required in connection with any financial

reporting (a “Tax Matter”). Such cooperation shall include the provision of any information reasonably necessary or helpful in connection with a Tax Matter (“Information”) and shall include, without limitation, at each Party’s own cost:

(i) the provision of any Tax Returns of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, books, records (including information regarding ownership and Tax basis of property), documentation and other information relating to such Tax Returns, including accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities;

(ii) the execution of any document (including any power of attorney) in connection with any Tax Proceedings of any of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, or the filing of a Tax Return or a Refund claim of the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries;

(iii) the use of the Party’s reasonable best efforts to obtain any documentation in connection with a Tax Matter; and

(iv) the use of the Party’s reasonable best efforts to obtain any Tax Returns (including accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents), documents, books, records or other information in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns of any of the Parties or their Subsidiaries.

(b) Each Party shall make its employees, advisors, and facilities available, without charge, on a reasonable and mutually convenient basis in connection with the foregoing matters.

Section 9.02. Retention of Records. Cousins and New Parkway shall retain or cause to be retained all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records or other documents relating thereto in their possession, until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any waivers or extensions thereof) of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate or until the expiration of any additional period that any Party reasonably requests, in writing, with respect to specific material records or documents. A Party intending to destroy any material records or documents shall provide the other Party with reasonable advance notice and the opportunity to copy or take possession of such records and documents. The Parties hereto will notify each other in writing of any waivers or extensions of the applicable statute of limitations that may affect the period for which the foregoing records or other documents must be retained.

(a) In the event of any dispute between the Parties as to any matter covered by this Agreement, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute and, if the Parties cannot resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days from the time such dispute arises, the Parties shall agree as to whether such dispute shall be governed by the procedures set forth in

Section 10.01(b) of this Agreement or in Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. If the Parties cannot agree within thirty (30) days from the time such dispute arises as to which procedure will govern such dispute, such disagreement shall be resolved pursuant to Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any disputes arising with respect to Section 2.01(g) or Section 2.02(c)(1) shall be resolved no later than December 15, 2016.

(b) With respect to any dispute governed by this Section 10.01(b), the Parties shall mutually appoint a nationally recognized “Big Four” independent public accounting firm (other than the current auditing firm of either Cousins or New Parkway) (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve such dispute. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith in jointly selecting the Accounting Firm. In this regard, the Accounting Firm shall make determinations with respect to the disputed items based solely on representations made by Cousins and New Parkway and their respective Representatives, and not by independent review, and shall function only as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall be required to make a determination in favor of one Party only. The Parties shall require the Accounting Firm to resolve all disputes no later than fifteen (15) days after the submission of such dispute to the Accounting Firm, but in no event later than the Due Date for the payment of Taxes or the filing of the applicable Tax Return, if applicable, and agree that all decisions by the Accounting Firm with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Accounting Firm shall resolve all disputes in a manner consistent with this Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, in a manner consistent with the Past Practices of Cousins and the members of the Cousins Group or Legacy Parkway and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Parties shall require the Accounting Firm to render all determinations in writing and to set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by the non-prevailing Party.

Section 10.02. Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing, indemnification and similar agreements, written or unwritten, as between Cousins or a Cousins Entity, on the one hand, and New Parkway or a New Parkway Entity, on the other hand (other than this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, any other Ancillary Agreement and any agreement entered into after the Distribution), shall be or shall have been terminated no later than the Distribution Effective Time and, after the Distribution Effective Time, none of Cousins, any Cousins Entity, New Parkway or any New Parkway Entity shall have any further rights or obligations under any such Tax sharing, indemnification or similar agreement.

Section 10.03. Interest on Late Payments. With respect to any payment between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement not made by the due date set forth in this Agreement for such payment, the outstanding amount will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate in effect for underpayments under Section 6621 of the Code from such due date to and including the earlier of the ninetieth (90th) day or the payment date and thereafter will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate prevailing at such time, as published in The Wall Street Journal.

Section 10.04. Survival of Covenants. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, all covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their applicable

terms; provided, however, that all indemnification for Taxes shall survive until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (taking into account all extensions thereof), if any, for assessment of the Tax that gave rise to the indemnification; provided, further, that, in the event that notice for indemnification has been given within the applicable survival period, such indemnification shall survive until such time as such claim is finally resolved.

Section 10.05. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability and, unless the effect of such invalidity or unenforceability would prevent the parties from realizing the major portion of the economic benefits of the Distribution Transactions that they currently anticipate obtaining therefrom, shall not render invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affect the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

Section 10.06. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement, taken together with the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the schedules and exhibits thereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between or on behalf of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 10.07. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article VI with respect to indemnified Parties, (a) the provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties and are not intended to confer upon any Person except the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder, and (b) there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any third person with any remedy, claim, Liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Section 10.08. Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the Party or Parties who are, or are to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of its or their rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the Parties.

Section 10.09. Limitations of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither New Parkway or any member of the Parkway Group, on the one hand, nor Cousins or any member of the Cousins Group, on the other hand, shall be liable under this Agreement to the other for any indirect, punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of the other arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.10. Amendment. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party against whom it is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification.

Section 10.11. Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference shall be to a Section of or Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or portable document format (PDF) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of any such Agreement.

Section 10.16. Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other Parties hereto; provided, however, that any Party may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Subsidiaries; provided, further, that no such assignment shall release the assigning Party from any of its liabilities or obligations under this Agreement.
