Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 18, 2007, Cousins Properties Incorporated (the “Company”) began entering into
Indemnification Agreements (the “Indemnification Agreement”) with its directors and executive officers.
The Indemnification Agreement provides that the Company will indemnify the director or executive
officer (“Indemnitee”) against all expenses (as defined in the agreement), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee to the fullest extent
permitted by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws,
and state or other applicable law, and
to any greater extent that applicable law may in the future permit. The Indemnification Agreement
further provides procedures for the determination of an Indemnitee’s right to receive
indemnification and to receive reimbursement of expenses as incurred.
The rights provided by the Indemnification Agreement are in addition to the indemnification rights
provided under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and applicable law.
The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreement is a general description only and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indemnification Agreement, the form of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
