Attention: Craig Mitchell

Dear Sir

Share Forward Transaction: side letter - Settlement Date

The purpose of this letter agreement is to set forth certain agreements between the parties in relation to the terms and conditions of the above mentioned Transaction entered into between Deutsche Bank AG, Sydney branch (ABN 13 064 165 162) ("Party A") and DEXUS Funds Management Limited (ABN 24 060 920 783) (in its capacity as responsible entity of DEXUS Office Trust (ARSN 090 768 531)) ("Party B") on 25 July 2013, as amended from time to time (the "Transaction").

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this letter agreement have the meaning given to them in the Confirmation for the Transaction (the "Confirmation"). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this letter agreement and the Confirmation, this letter agreement will prevail.

$\mathbf{1}$ Settlement Date

  • $(a)$ The parties agree that on and after the date that a New Valuation Date is effectively designated under paragraph (b) in the definition of "Valuation Date" in the Confirmation, the Transaction shall for all purposes be considered to be a Physicallysettled Transaction and Party B may, by notice to Party A, designate a date that is earlier or later than that Settlement Date to be the Settlement Date for the purposes of the Transaction (the "New Settlement Date"), provided that:
  • at the time the notice is given, no Event of Default in respect of Party B and $(i)$ no Termination Event in respect of which Party B is the sole Affected Party is subsisting:
  • $(ii)$ the notice is given not less than 5 Exchange Business Days prior to the then current Settlement Date; and
  • $(iii)$ the date designated by the notice is:
    • $(A)$ both an Exchange Business Day and a Currency Business Day;

Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft domiciled in Frankfurt am Main; HRB

  • $(B)$ later than the New Valuation Date;
  • $(C)$ no less than 5 Exchange Business Days after the date the notice is given; and
  • $(D)$ no later than one Settlement Cycle after 25 January 2015.

Any such notice is irrevocable.

  • $(b)$ If a New Settlement Date is effectively designated under paragraph (a) above:
  • $(i)$ that date will be deemed to be the Settlement Date for the purposes of the Transaction, unless and until Party B makes another effective designation in accordance with paragraph (a) above (which Party B may do from time to time subject to the provisions of paragraph (a));
  • $(ii)$ references in the ISDA Definitions to the "Valuation Date" shall for the purposes of the Transaction (to the extent applicable) be deemed to be references to the date which is 3 Exchange Business Days before the then current Settlement Date, provided that this shall not affect the designation or timing of the New Valuation Date (or, accordingly, the Valuation Date), the designation or timing of the New Settlement Date (or, accordingly, the Settlement Date) or the definition or interpretation of any of those terms themselves as provided for in the Confirmation and this letter agreement; and
  • $(iii)$ the definition of Break Costs will be replaced with the following:

"The amount (if any) by which:

the Floating Amount which Party A would have received for $(A)$ the period from (and including) the final Payment Date (as adjusted pursuant to the designation of the New Valuation Date and the final New Settlement Date) to (but excluding) the last day of the Calculation Period in which the final New Settlement Date occurs:

exceeds:

the Calculation Agent's determination of the amount of $(B)$ interest which Party A would have received by placing an amount equal to the Notional Amount on deposit with a leading bank in the Australian interbank market or acquiring a bill of exchange accepted by a leading bank for a period starting on (and including) the final Payment Date (as adjusted pursuant to the designation of the New Valuation Date and the final New Settlement Date) (or, if the final Payment Date is not a Currency Business Day, the next succeeding Currency Business Day) to (but excluding) the last day of the Calculation Period in which the final New Settlement Date occurs.".

and the definition of "Valuation Date" insofar as it relates to Break Costs will also be taken to have been amended to the extent necessary to reflect this revised definition.

$\overline{2}$ . Counterparts

This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of those counterparts taken together constitute one and the same instrument.

3. Governing law

This letter agreement shall be governed by and is to be construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales.

$\overline{4}$ . Acceptance

By executing this letter agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements set out in section 1 above shall take effect as agreements between the parties in respect of the Transaction as if they were set out in full in the Confirmation and the Confirmation had been amended to reflect them, and that for all purposes (including without limitation Sections 5 and 6 of the ISDA Agreement and the Deutsche Guarantee) the obligations in this letter agreement shall be taken to form part of the Transaction.

Please confirm your acceptance of the provisions contained in this letter agreement by signing and returning the attached copy of this letter agreement.
