      <footnote id="F1"> The Reporting Person acquired shares through the exercise of vested options in accordance with the Oasis Residential, Inc. 1993 Stock Option Plan.  Options issued to the Reporting Person under such plan were converted to options to purchase common shares of beneficial interest (&quot;Shares&quot;) of Camden Property Trust (the &quot;Company&quot;) upon the merger of the Company and Oasis Residential, Inc. on April 8, 1998. The options vested in equal installments in July 1995, July 1996, July 1997 and July 1998.</footnote>

      <footnote id="F2"> Granted by the committee appointed in accordance with the provisions of the Company's Rabbi Trust and represent the difference between the exercise price of the employee stock option described above and the market price of the Shares on the date of exercise, as adjusted for the exercise price of this option (which is equal to 25% of the value of the Shares as of the date of grant) and held in the Rabbi Trust pursuant to a grant by the committee.</footnote>
