INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Crescent Real Estate's declaration of trust provides that no trust manager shall be liable to Crescent Real Estate for any act, omission, loss, damage, or expense arising from the performance of his duties to Crescent Real Estate save only for his own willful misfeasance or willful malfeasance or gross negligence. In addition to, but in no respect whatsoever in limitation of the foregoing, the liability of each trust manager for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The declaration of trust also provides that no amendment thereto may limit or eliminate this limitation of liability with respect to events occurring prior to the effective date of such amendment. Crescent Real Estate's declaration of trust provides that the trust managers and officers shall be indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by Texas law. Under current Texas law, the trust will indemnify a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was a trust manager or officer if it is determined that the person (i) conducted himself in good faith; (ii) reasonably believed: (a) in the case of conduct in his official capacity as a trust manager or officer of the real estate investment trust, that his conduct was in the real estate investment trust's best interests; and (b) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the real estate investment trust's best interests; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Except to the extent provided in the following sentence, a trust manager or officer may not be indemnified (i) in respect of a proceeding in which the person is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in the person's official capacity; or (ii) in which the person is found liable to the real estate investment trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person may be indemnified against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding; provided that if the person is found liable to the real estate investment trust or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the person, the indemnification (i) is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding, and (ii) shall not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the person shall have been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the real estate investment trust. In addition, Crescent Real Estate's declaration of trust and bylaws require it to pay or reimburse, in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, reasonable expenses incurred by a present or former trust manager or officer made a party to a proceeding by reason of his status as a trust manager or officer, provided that Crescent Real Estate shall have received (i) a written affirmation by the trust manager or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by Crescent Real Estate as authorized by the bylaws and (ii) a written undertaking by or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by Crescent Real Estate if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met. Crescent Real Estate's declaration of trust and bylaws also permit Crescent Real Estate to provide indemnification, payment or reimbursement of expenses to any employee or agent of Crescent Real Estate in such capacity. Crescent Real Estate's declaration of trust and bylaws also permit Crescent Real Estate to indemnify a person who was or who agreed to appear as a witness or other participant in a proceeding at a time when he is not named a defendant or respondent in the proceeding. Any indemnification, payment or reimbursement of the expenses permitted by the declaration of trust and bylaws shall be furnished in accordance with the procedures provided for indemnification and payment or reimbursement of expenses under Texas Real Estate Investment Trust Act for trust managers. II - 1 The limited partnership agreement of Crescent Partnership contains indemnification provisions comparable to those contained in the declaration of trust. Crescent Real Estate carries insurance that purports to insure officers and trust managers of Crescent Real Estate against certain liabilities incurred by them in the discharge of their official functions. Crescent Real Estate has entered into indemnification agreements with each of Crescent Real Estate's executive officers and trust managers. The indemnification agreements require, among other things, that Crescent Real Estate indemnify such officers and trust managers to the fullest extent permitted by law, and advance to the officers and directors all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted. Crescent Real Estate also must indemnify and advance expenses incurred by officers and directors seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements and cover officers and directors under Crescent Real Estate's directors' and officers' liability insurance, if any. Although the indemnification agreements offer substantially the same scope of coverage afforded by provisions in the declaration of trust and Crescent Real Estate's bylaws, they provide greater assurance to directors and executive officers that indemnification will be available, because, as contracts, they cannot be modified unilaterally in the future by the Board of Trust Managers or by the stockholders to alter, limit or eliminate the rights they provide.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus/information statement pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through the date of responding to the request. (c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective. II - 6 (d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. (2) That for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other times of the applicable form. (f) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (e) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (g) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II - 7 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the city of Fort Worth, State of Texas on January 16, 2003.
