Fund II, a $750.0 million discretionary fund, was formed on May 14, 2008 and was fully invested at February 10, 2012.  Fund II was structured such that Teacher Retirement System of Texas ("TRST") would be a 70% investor and Parkway a 30% investor in the fund, with an original target capital structure of approximately $375.0 million of equity capital and $375.0 million of non-recourse, fixed-rate first mortgage debt.  Fund II acquired 13 properties totaling 4.2 million square feet in Atlanta, Charlotte, Phoenix, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa and Philadelphia.  In August 2012, Fund II increased its investment capacity by $20.0 million to purchase Hayden Ferry Garage, a 2,500 space parking garage, a 21,000 square foot office property and a vacant parcel of development land, all adjacent to Hayden Ferry I and Hayden Ferry II in Phoenix.

Parkway serves as the general partner of Fund II and provides asset management, property management, leasing and construction management services to the fund, for which it is paid market-based fees.  Cash will be distributed pro rata to each partner until a 9% annual cumulative preferred return is received and invested capital is returned.  Thereafter, 56% will be distributed to TRST and 44% to Parkway.  The term of Fund II will be seven years from the date the fund was fully invested, or until February 2019, with provisions to extend the term for two additional one-year periods at the discretion of Parkway.

As previously disclosed, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its interest in 13 office properties totaling 2.7 million square feet owned by Fund I to its existing partner in the fund for a gross sales price of $344.3 million.  As of July 1, 2012, the Company has completed the sale of all 13 Fund I assets.  Parkway received approximately $14.2 million in net proceeds for the completed sales of the Fund I assets, and the proceeds were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company's credit facilities.  Upon sale, the buyer assumed a total of $292.0 million in mortgage loans, of which $82.4 million was Parkway's share.

Noncontrolling interest - real estate partnerships represents the other partners' proportionate share of equity in the partnerships discussed above at September 30, 2012. Income is allocated to noncontrolling interest based on the weighted average percentage ownership during the year.

Operating Partnership Units ("OP Units")

On December 30, 2011, Parkway and the former Eola principals amended certain post-closing provisions of the contribution agreement to provide, among other things, that if the Management Company achieved annual revenues in excess of the original 2011 target, all OP Units subject to the 2011 earn-out, the 2012 earn-out and the earn-up will be deemed earned and paid when the 2011 earn-out payment is made.  Based on the Management Company revenue for 2011, the target was achieved and all 1.8 million OP Units were earned and issued to Eola's principals on February 28, 2012.

OP Unit holders have redemption rights that enable them to cause the Company's operating partnership to redeem the OP Units for cash or, at the Company's option, for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.  During the second quarter of 2012, 1.5 million OP units were redeemed and the Company issued 1.5 million shares of common stock upon such redemption.  At September 30, 2012, there were 307,000 OP units outstanding which were issued to Eola's principals.
