Ladies and Gentlemen:
Camden Property Trust, a Texas real estate investment trust (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the underwriter named in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriter”) an aggregate of 3,600,000 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), of the Company in accordance with Section 1 hereof (the “Firm Shares”). The Company also proposes to sell at the Underwriter’s option an aggregate of up to 360,000 additional of the Common Shares as provided in Section 3(b) hereof (the “Option Shares”). The Firm Shares and the Option Shares being purchased by the Underwriter are hereinafter called the “Shares”.
The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), a registration statement (No. 333-103119) on Form S-3, relating to the Shares to be issued from time to time by the Company. Such registration statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act. Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act (the “Securities Act Regulations”) and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the Securities Act Regulations. Any information included in such prospectus that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of and included in such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B is referred to as “Rule 430B Information.” Each prospectus used in connection with the offering of the Shares that omitted Rule 430B Information is herein called a “preliminary prospectus.” Such registration statement, at any given time, including the amendments thereto at such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act at such time and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the Securities Act Regulations, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” Any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act Regulations is herein referred to as the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” and after such filing the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The final prospectus, in the form furnished to the Underwriter for use in connection with the offering of the Shares, including the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act at the time of the execution of this Agreement is
hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”).
All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which are incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the Securities Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the Securities Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be.
The Company hereby agrees with the Underwriter as follows:
1. The Company agrees to issue and sell the Firm Shares to the Underwriter as hereinafter provided, and the Underwriter, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees to purchase from the Company the Firm Shares at the purchase price of $70.87 per Share.
2. The Company understands that the Underwriter intends to make a public offering of the Shares and initially to offer the Shares upon the terms set forth in this Agreement.
3. (a) Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Firm Shares shall be made at the offices of Sidley Austin LLP, New York, New York, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriter and the Company at 9:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the third (fourth, if the pricing occurs after 4:30 P.M. (Eastern time) on any given day) business day following the date of this Agreement, or such other time not later than ten business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriter and the Company (such time and date of payment and delivery being herein called the “Closing Date”). Payment shall be made to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company, against delivery to the Underwriter of certificates for the Firm Shares to be purchased by the Underwriter. The Firm Shares shall be registered in such names as the Underwriter shall request not later than two business days prior to the Closing Date. The Firm Shares shall be made available for inspection not later than 10:00 A.M. (Eastern Time) on the business day prior to the Closing Date, at the office of The Depository Trust Company or its designated custodian.
(a) In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby
2
grants an option to the Underwriter to purchase the Option Shares at the price per share as set forth in Section 1. The option granted hereby may be exercised in whole or in part by giving written notice (i) at any time before the Closing Date and (ii) only once thereafter within 30 days after the date of this Agreement, by the Underwriter, to the Company, setting forth the number of Option Shares as to which the Underwriter is exercising the option and the time and date at which such certificates are to be delivered. The time and date at which certificates for Option Shares are to be delivered shall be determined by the Underwriter but shall not be earlier than three nor later than 10 full business days after the exercise of such option, nor in any event prior to the Closing Date (such time and date being herein referred to as the “Option Closing Date”). If the date of exercise of the option is three or more days before the Closing Date, the notice of exercise shall set the Closing Date as the Option Closing Date. The option with respect to the Option Shares granted hereunder may be exercised only to cover over-allotments in the sale of the Firm Shares by the Underwriter. The Underwriter may cancel such option at any time prior to its expiration by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Company. To the extent, if any, that the option is exercised, payment for the Option Shares shall be made on the Option Closing Date in immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company against delivery of certificates at the office of The Depository Trust Company or its designated custodian.
4. The Company represents and warrants to the Underwriter as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date, that:

3
Any preliminary prospectus (including the prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto) complied when so filed in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations and any such preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriter for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

The representations and warranties in the preceding three paragraphs shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, or the General Disclosure Package, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, or the General Disclosure Package.

(c) During the period beginning on the Applicable Time and ending on the later of the Closing Date, applicable Option Closing Date or such date, as in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriter, the Prospectus is no longer required under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to be delivered in connection with sales by the Underwriter or a dealer, including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), prior to amending or
12
supplementing the Registration Statement (including any filing under Rule 462(b)), any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement through incorporation by reference of any report filed under the Exchange Act), the Company will furnish to the Underwriter for review a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file any such amendment or supplement or use any such prospectus to which counsel for the Underwriter shall reasonably object. The Company has given the Underwriter notice of any filings made pursuant to the Exchange Act or Exchange Act Regulations within 48 hours prior to the Applicable Time; the Company will give the Underwriter notice of its intention to make any such filing from the Applicable Time to the Closing Date and will furnish the Underwriter with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing and will not file or use any such document to which the Underwriter or counsel for the Underwriter shall reasonably object.
(d) The Company will deliver to the Underwriter a conformed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto filed prior to the termination of the initial offering of the Shares (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and the documents incorporated by reference into the Prospectus pursuant to Item 12 of Form S 3).
(e) The Company will furnish to the Underwriter, from time to time during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act in connection with the offering, such number of copies (including by electronic means, if so requested by the Underwriter, in addition to or in lieu of, paper copies) of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as the Underwriter may reasonably request for the purposes contemplated by the Securities Act, the Securities Act Regulations, the Exchange Act or Exchange Act Regulations.
(f) If at any time after the date hereof any event shall occur or a condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriter, which shall be communicated in writing by the Underwriter to the Company, to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the Prospectus not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered, the Company will promptly either (a) forthwith prepare and furnish to the Underwriter an amendment of or supplement to the Prospectus or (b) make an appropriate filing pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15 of the Exchange Act, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriter, which will amend or supplement the Prospectus so that it will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered, not misleading. If at any time after the date hereof, an event occurs or a condition shall exist as a result of which the General Disclosure Package contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is used, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Underwriter and will promptly amend or supplement in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriter, at its own expense, the General Disclosure Package to
13
eliminate or correct such untrue statement or omission. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development or there exists or shall exist a condition as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement (or any other registration statement relating to the Shares) or the Statutory Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Underwriter and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission. The Underwriter’s delivery of any such amendment or supplement shall not constitute a waiver of any of the conditions in Section 6 hereof.
(g) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Underwriter, and the Underwriter agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Underwriter is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping.
(h) The Company will endeavor to qualify the Shares for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriter shall reasonably request and to continue such qualification in effect so long as reasonably required for distribution of the Shares and to pay all fees and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriter) reasonably incurred in connection with such qualification; provided that the Company shall not be required to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.
(i) The Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Underwriter as soon as practicable but not later than 18 months after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule 158(c)) an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
(j) The Company will, so long as the Shares are outstanding, furnish to the Underwriter copies of all reports or other communications (financial or other) furnished to holders of Shares, and copies of any reports and financial statements furnished to or
14
filed with the Commission or any national securities exchange, other than, in any such case, those filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR.
(k) The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Shares in the manner specified in the Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds”.
(l) The Company will use its best efforts to continue to meet the requirements to qualify as a REIT under the Code for the taxable year in which sales of the Shares are to occur, unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus.
(m) The Company will timely file any document which it is required to file pursuant to the Exchange Act prior to the termination of the offering of the Shares.
(n) The Company, its trust managers and executive officers, will not, during a period of 60 days from the date of this Agreement, without the Underwriter’s prior written consent, offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares, or warrants to purchase Common Shares or enter into any transaction that transfers the economic consequence of ownership of Common Shares, other than (a) Common Shares issued or to be issued pursuant to the Company’s employee and incentive share award plans; and (b) Common Shares to be issued as partial or full payment for properties directly or indirectly acquired or to be acquired by the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided that, the Company shall have conditioned the issuance of such Common Shares upon the agreement of the recipients to the restrictions of this paragraph (n).
(o) The Company will pay all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all costs and expenses (i) incident to the delivery of the Shares to the Underwriter, (ii) incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any preliminary prospectus (including in each case all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto), (iii) incurred in connection with the registration or qualification of the Shares under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriter may designate (including reasonable fees of counsel for the Underwriter and their disbursements), (iv) related to any filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (v) in connection with the printing (including word processing and duplication costs) and delivery of this Agreement, any Preliminary and Supplemental Blue Sky Survey and the furnishing to the Underwriter and dealers of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, including mailing and shipping, as herein provided (vi) any fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange; and (vii) the costs and expenses (including without limitation any damages or other amounts payable in connection with legal or contractual liability) associated with the reforming of any contracts for sale of the Shares made by the Underwriter caused by a breach of the representation contained in the fourth paragraph of Section 4(a); except as provided in clause (iii) above or in Section 7 or in Section 9 hereof, the Company shall not be obligated to pay the fees of counsel for the Underwriter and their disbursements.

(e) The Underwriter shall have received on and as of the Closing Date, and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date, a certificate, satisfactory to the Underwriter, of the President or the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, or such other senior executive officer or officers of the Company as are satisfactory to the Underwriter, to the effect set forth in subsections (a) through (c) of this Section and to the further

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including without limitation the reasonable legal fees and other expenses (including expenses of investigation and settlement) incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the Rule 430B Information, the General Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by the Underwriter expressly for use therein.
The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its trust managers, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, including the Rule 430B Information, the General Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus.
If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Person, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the
24
Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Underwriter and any such control persons of the Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Underwriter and any such separate firm for the Company, its trust managers, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and such control persons of the Company or authorized representatives shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested an Indemnifying Person to reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the third sentence of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request and (ii) such Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) 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 Person.
If the indemnification provided for in the first and second paragraphs of this Section 7 is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of such Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and the commissions received by the Underwriter bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriter and the parties’ relative intent,
25
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined byprorata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall the Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 are in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Persons may otherwise have to the Indemnified Persons referred to above.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or any person controlling the Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or trust managers or any other person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.
8. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, this Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Underwriter, by notice given to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date (if different from the Closing Date and then only as to Option Shares) (i) the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable, at or prior to the Closing Date, or Option Closing Date, if applicable, to perform any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder, (ii) any other condition of the Underwriter’s obligations hereunder is not fulfilled, (iii) there shall have occurred, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, any material adverse change or any development involving a prospective material adverse change in or affecting the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company or the earnings, business affairs, properties, management or business prospects of the Company, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (iv) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by the New York Stock Exchange, (v) trading of any securities of or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (vi) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York or Texas shall have been declared by either Federal, Texas or New York State authorities; or there shall have occurred a material disruption in
26
commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, (vii) there has occurred any downgrading or notice of any intended or potential downgrading or any review or possible change that indicates anything other than a stable outlook in the rating of the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act) or (viii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States that, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, is material and adverse and which, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares.
9. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriter because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any condition of the Underwriter’s obligations cannot be fulfilled, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriter for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in connection with this Agreement or the offering of Shares contemplated hereunder.
10. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other hand, (ii) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction, the Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or its shareholders, creditors, employees, or any other party, (iii) the Underwriter has not assumed or will not assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and the Underwriter has no obligation to the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (iv) the Underwriter and its affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and (v) the Underwriter has not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.
11. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company, the Underwriter, any controlling persons referred to herein and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. No purchaser of Shares from the Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.
12. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriter shall be given to it at 60 Wall Street, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10005, Attention: General Counsel. Notices to the Company shall be
27
given to it at Three Greenway Plaza, Suite 1300, Houston, Texas 77046, Attention: Dennis M. Steen, Senior Vice President — Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary.
28
13. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

Re: | Proposed Offering of Camden Property Trust Shares |
Dear Sirs:
The undersigned, a shareholder and an executive officer and/or trust manager of Camden Property Trust, a Texas real estate investment trust (the “Company”), understands that Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., has entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Company providing for the public offering of common shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), of the Company. In recognition of the benefit that such an offering will confer upon the undersigned as a shareholder, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with the Underwriter that, during a period of 60 days from the date of the Agreement, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Underwriter, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any of the Company’s Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or file, or cause to be filed, any registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”) or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may nonetheless (a) transfer Common Shares by way of testate or intestate succession or by operation of law, (b) transfer Common Shares to members of the undersigned’s immediate family or to a trust, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, all of the beneficial interests of which are held by the undersigned or members of the undersigned’s immediate family, and (c) transfer Common Shares to charitable organizations; provided, however, in each case, the transferee shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the restrictions on transfer contained in the immediately preceding paragraph and such transfer is not effective until the agreement to be bound by the restrictions on transfer is executed by the transferee.
