On August 9, 2006, Trammell Crow Company (the “Company”) granted performance unit awards (the “Cash Performance Awards”) under its Long-Term Incentive Plan to the individuals named in the table below, who constitute all of the Company’s executive officers (the “Executive Officers”).  The Cash Performance Awards provide each Executive Officer the opportunity to earn a cash incentive payment if the Company achieves an identified performance target.  If the Company achieves the performance target, the amount of the cash incentive payment to be made under the awards, if any, will be determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.  The maximum amount that may be paid to any Executive Officer for Cash Performance Awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan in any calendar year is $5 million.  The performance period for the Cash Performance Awards is July 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006.  The performance target is based on the Company’s net income during that period.
