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 TRST as a 70% investor and Parkway as 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 III, IV and V, 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 is distributed by Fund II 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 is 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 Company's discretion.
