Ladies and Gentlemen:
THOMAS PROPERTIES GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and THOMAS PROPERTIES GROUP, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership and majority owned subsidiary of the Company (the Operating Partnership and together with the Company, the Transaction Entities), confirm their agreement (this Agreement) with CANTOR FITZGERALD & CO. (CF&Co), as follows:
Section 1. Issuance and Sale of Securities.
The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company may issue and sell through CF&Co, acting as agent and/or principal, shares (the Securities) of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock) having an aggregate offering price of up to $30,000,000 (the Maximum Amount). The Company agrees that if CF&Co determines that CF&Co will purchase any Shares on a principal basis (other than as a riskless principal), then the Company will enter into a separate underwriting or similar agreement in form and substance satisfactory to both the Company and CF&Co covering such purchase. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitation set forth in this Section 1 on maximum aggregate sale price of Securities issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company, and CF&Co shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The issuance and sale of Securities through CF&Co will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) filed by the Company and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission), although nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement to issue Securities.
The Company has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and the rules and regulations thereunder (the Securities Act Regulations), with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-152152), including a base prospectus, relating to certain securities, including the Securities to be
issued from time to time by the Company, and which incorporates by reference documents that the Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and the rules and regulations thereunder (the Exchange Act Regulations). The Company has prepared a prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities (the Prospectus Supplement) to the base prospectus included as part of such registration statement. The Company will furnish to CF&Co, for use by CF&Co, copies of the prospectus included as part of such registration statement, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, relating to the Securities. Except where the context otherwise requires, such registration statement, as amended by post-effective Amendment No. 1 when such post-effective amendment became effective, including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any information contained in a Prospectus (as defined below) subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act Regulations or deemed to be a part of such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B of the Securities Act Regulations, is herein called the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement at the time post-effective Amendment No. 1 became effective is herein called the Original Registration Statement. The base prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, included in the Registration Statement, as it may be supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form in which such prospectus and/or Prospectus Supplement have most recently been filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act Regulations, together with the then issued Issuer Free Writing Prospectus(es), is herein called the Prospectus. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein, and any reference herein to the terms amend, amendment or supplement with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing after the execution hereof of any document with the Commission deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.
Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, any Prospectus Supplement, Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein (the Incorporated Documents), including, unless the context otherwise requires, the documents, if any, filed as exhibits to such Incorporated Documents. Any reference herein to the terms amend, amendment or supplement with respect to the Registration Statement, any Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act on or after the most-recent effective date of the Registration Statement, or the date of Prospectus Supplement, Prospectus or such Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, and incorporated therein by reference. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to either the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System or Interactive Data Electronic Applications (collectively IDEA).

The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals from the Company set forth on Exhibit B (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from CF&Co set forth on Exhibit B, as such Exhibit B may be amended from time to time. The Placement Notice shall be effective upon receipt by CF&Co unless and until (1) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in the second sentence of this paragraph, CF&Co declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, (2) the entire amount of the Placement Securities have been sold, (3) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in the second sentence of this paragraph, the Company suspends or terminates the Placement Notice, (4) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding those on the earlier dated Placement Notice, (5) the Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 13 or (6) either party shall have suspended the sale of the Placement Securities in accordance with Section 4 below.

It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor CF&Co will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Securities unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to CF&Co and CF&Co does not decline the terms of such Placement Notice pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Section 2 and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will control.
Section 3. Sale of Placement Securities by CF&Co.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6(a), CF&Co, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the NASDAQ Global Market (the Exchange), to sell the Placement Securities up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice.

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 10(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Transaction Entities, which consent shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above,
29
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by CF&Co expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(b) Indemnification by CF&Co. CF&Co agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Transaction Entity, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Transaction Entities within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 10, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by CF&Co expressly for use therein.
(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 10 or Section 11 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (1) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d) Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 10(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (1) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (2) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (3) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
30
Section 11. Contribution.
If the indemnification provided for in Section 10 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (1) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Transaction Entities on the one hand and CF&Co on the other hand from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (2) if the allocation provided by clause (1) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (1) above but also the relative fault of the Transaction Entities on the one hand and of CF&Co on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses.
The relative benefits received by the Transaction Entities on the one hand and CF&Co on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total Net Proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Transaction Entities bear to the total discount, commissions or other compensation received by CF&Co.
The relative fault of the Transaction Entities on the one hand and CF&Co on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Transaction Entities or by CF&Co and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Transaction Entities and CF&Co agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 11. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 11 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, CF&Co shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount, commission or other compensation received by CF&Co hereunder.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
For purposes of this Section 11, each person, if any, who controls CF&Co within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the
31
same rights to contribution as CF&Co, and each director of the Transaction Entities, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Transaction Entities within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Transaction Entities.
Section 12. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery.
All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Transaction Entities or any of its Subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of CF&Co or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Transaction Entities, and shall survive delivery of the Securities to CF&Co.
Section 13. Termination of Agreement.
(a) Termination; General.

If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Securities, such Placement Securities shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
(g) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9(k) or this Section 13, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 8 hereof, and except that, in the case of any termination of this Agreement, Section 5, Section 10, Section 11, Section 12, and Section 21 hereof, and the obligation herein to pay any discount, commission or other compensation accrued but unpaid, shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.
