2.1Capital Contributions of the Members.

(a)    T-Asia shall contribute such cash to the capital of the Company as the Manager may determine from time to time to be necessary or appropriate. All such capital shall constitute Preferred Capital and bear the Preferred Return from the date of contribution.

(b)    Sharp has been issued his Membership Interest for good and valuable consideration, and Sharp shall not be required, nor shall he have any right, to make any contribution to the capital of the Company.

2.2Capital Accounts. The Company shall maintain a separate capital account (the “Capital Account”) for each Member, which shall be (i) increased by the Member's capital contributions made on and after the date of this Agreement, the Member's share of any Profits of the Company, and any items of income or gain allocated to the Member under Section 3.2 hereof, and (ii) shall be decreased by distributions made to the Member, the Member's share of any Losses of the Company, and any items of expense or loss allocated to the Member under Section 3.2 hereof. Upon the happening of an event described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations, the Manager may, in accordance with such Regulations, mark-to-market the Company’s assets on the balance sheet as computed for book purposes, and adjust the Members’ Capital Accounts as though the net adjustment to the values at which the assets are carried on such balance sheet were gain or loss allocable under Section 3.2 hereof. In accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q) of the Regulations, each Member's Capital Account shall be adjusted in a manner that maintains equality between the aggregate of all of the Members' Capital Accounts and the amount of capital reflected on the Company's balance sheet as computed for book purposes.

2.3    Loans.    T-Asia may, in lieu of contributing additional cash to the capital of the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof, advance or cause any of its affiliates to advance such cash to the Company as a loan. Any such loan shall be made on such terms as determined by the Manager provided that the interest charged on any such loan is at an arm’s-length rate that meets U.S. transfer pricing rules.

2.4    Liability of Sharp. Sharp shall not be obligated, nor shall he have the right to lend any funds to the Company, guaranty any Company debt, or incur any personal liability with respect to the Company.

3.1Distributions.

(a)    Distributions shall be made as, when and to the extent that the Manager determines that the Company's cash on hand exceeds the current and anticipated needs of the Company to fulfill its business purposes, including, without limitation, to service its debts and obligations to third parties, service its debts and obligations to the Manager and its affiliates as provided in this Agreement, and to maintain adequate capital and reserves for, by way of example and not limitation, working capital and reasonably foreseeable needs of the Company. Distributions shall be made in the following manner and order of priority:

(i)    First, to T-Asia in an amount equal to its current and accrued Preferred Return;

(ii)    Second, to T-Asia in an amount equal to its undistributed Preferred Capital; and

(iii)    Third, to the Members in accordance with their respective Sharing Percentages.

(b)    The Manager shall request in writing any and all applicable U.S. withholding documentation from the Members, from time to time, including any information required to make determinations under, and if applicable comply with, the Foreign Account Compliance Tax Act, and each Member agrees to provide any such documentation promptly upon receipt of such written request. The Company is authorized to withhold from distributions to a Member, or with respect to allocations to a Member, and to pay over to a federal, state, local or foreign government, any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code, or any provisions of any other federal, state, local or foreign law. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member pursuant to this Article III for all purposes of this Agreement, and shall be offset against the amounts otherwise distributable to such Member. In the event the Company is required to withhold from or in respect of any income allocated but not currently distributed to Sharp, the amount so withheld shall be treated as an interest-free loan from the Company to Sharp and shall be repaid from any and all distributions subsequently to be made to Sharp which the Company shall withhold and apply against the balance of such loan until such balance is reduced to zero.

(c)    No distribution shall be declared or made if, after giving it effect, the Company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or the Company's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities.

3.2Allocation of the Profits and Losses of the Company.

(a)    After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 3.2(b) hereof, the items of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation of Profit or Loss of the Company for each fiscal year of the Company shall be allocated between the Members in such proportions as will cause the Capital Account of each Member to equal, as nearly as possible, the amount such Member would receive if an amount equal to the Capital Accounts of all the Members (computed prior to the allocation of such Profit or Loss), increased by the amount of such Profit or reduced by the amount of such Loss, were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 8.1(a)(4) hereof; provided, however, that no Member shall be allocated any Loss to the extent such allocation would create or increase a deficit in such Member's Adjusted Capital Account.

(b)    In the event any Member receives any distribution that creates or increases a deficit (negative balance) in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account, items of income and gain shall be specially allocated

to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible. This Section 3.2(b) and the proviso of Section 3.2(a) are intended to comply, and shall be interpreted consistently, with the "alternate test for economic effect" of Section 1.704-1(b)(ii)(2)(d) of the Regulations.

(c)    Any and all allocations of creditable foreign tax expenditures of the Company shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Temporary Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(viii).

(d)    For purposes of this Agreement:

(i)"Adjusted Capital Account" means, with respect to any Member, such Member's Capital Account, reduced by those anticipated distributions described in Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations, and increased by the amount of any deficit in such Member's Capital Account that such Member is deemed obligated to restore under Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(c) of the Regulations.

(ii)"Profit" and "Loss" each means, for each fiscal year of the Company or other period, the Company's profit or loss for Federal income tax purposes, adjusted as follows:

(A)    add any tax-exempt income of the Company described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) of the Code;

(B)    subtract any nondeductible expenditures of the Company described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code;

(C)    if the value at which any property is carried on the Company’s balance sheet as computed for book (capital accounting) purposes differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property (because such property is contributed to, rather than purchased by, the Company, or because the value of such property on such books is adjusted pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations), then items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the disposition of such property shall be computed by reference to its value on such books, and items of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions with respect to such property shall be computed by reference to such value in accordance with Section 1.704‑1(b)(2)(iv)(g) of the Regulations, and

(D)    any preceding provision of this Section 3.2(d)(ii) to the contrary notwithstanding, disregard any items of income, gain, expense, or loss specially allocated pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof.

(iii)"Regulations" means the permanent and temporary regulations of the U.S. Department of Treasury under the Code, as such regulations may be amended from time to time (including corresponding provisions of succeeding regulations) .

(iv)All items set off in quotation marks and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Regulations.

3.3    Allocations Solely for Tax Purposes. Items of income, gain, deduction, loss, and credit for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated between the Members in the same proportions as the corresponding book items are allocated, but if there is a book/tax difference in the determination of any such items by reason of a Member’s contribution of property having a value that varies from its adjusted tax basis, or by reason of any event on account of which assets are marked to market on the Company’s books under

the principles of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations, then such difference shall be reconciled in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder using any permissible method selected by the Manager. Allocations pursuant to this Section 3.3 are solely for tax purposes and shall not affect the Members’ Capital Accounts.

3.4    No Deficit Capital Account Restoration Requirement. If the Capital Account of any Member has a deficit balance (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all taxable years), such Member shall not be obligated to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other person or entity for any purpose whatsoever.

3.5    Liability for Taxes. Each Member acknowledges that such Member is solely liable for any and all income taxes imposed on such Member by any taxing jurisdiction on distributions, including distributions in redemption of such Member’s Membership Interest or upon liquidation of the Company, and allocations of income to such Member pursuant to this Article III, and such Member shall not be entitled to any reimbursement or indemnification by the Company or the other Member on account of the imposition of any such taxes.

4.1Books and Records. The Company shall maintain complete and accurate books and records of its business and affairs as required by the Act, and such books and records shall be kept at the Company's principal office. All books and records of the Company required to be maintained under this Section 4.1, as well as complete and accurate information regarding the Company’s business, financial condition and other information regarding the affairs of the Company as is just and reasonable and any other information described in Section 18-305(a) of the Act, shall be made available upon reasonable demand by any Member for any purpose reasonably related to such Member’s interest as a Member, for inspection and copying at the expense of the Company, and, if such Member so requests, copies of such information shall be sent to such Member by email transmission.

4.2Fiscal Year. The Company's fiscal year shall be the calendar year.

4.3Tax Information and Financial Statements. As soon as practicable following the end of each fiscal year, the Company shall prepare and furnish to the Members (i) all information relating to the Company that is necessary for the preparation of the Members' Federal income tax returns for such fiscal year, and (ii) such financial statements as the Manager shall decide to have prepared.

4.4Bank Accounts. All funds of the Company shall be deposited in such bank account(s) as shall be determined by the Manager. All withdrawals therefrom shall be made upon checks signed by any person authorized to do so by the Manager.

4.5Tax Matters Partner.

(a)    As used in this Agreement, “Tax Matters Partner” has the meaning set forth in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. T-Asia is hereby designated as Tax Matters Partner for the Company, with full power and authority to act as such for the Company and the Members and all the rights and responsibilities of that position described in Sections 6222 through 6232 of the Code. The duties of the Tax Matters Partner shall be limited to those prescribed by the Code and Regulations. The Tax Matters Partner shall have the authority,

The Tax Matters Partner shall be responsible for representing the Company in all dealings with any state, local, or foreign tax authority and shall have the same authority with respect thereto as provided above in this Section 4.5(a).

(b)    Beginning on January 1, 2018, (i) the Manager is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” under Section 6223(a) of the Code, as amended by the Bi-Partisan Budget Act of 2015 (the “Partnership Representative”), and (ii) the Partnership Representative shall or shall cause the Company to make the election under Section 6226(a) of the Code, as amended by the Bi-Partisan Budget Act of 2015, to apply the alternative procedures to pass through payment of any underpayments to the Members and to take any other actions as shall be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and comply with such election. Each Member consents to such election and agrees to take any action and provide the Manager with any information necessary to give effect to such election. The Partnership Representative shall have all the power and authority granted the Tax Matters Partner pursuant to Section 4.5(a) hereof.

(c)    The Company shall reimburse the Tax Matters Partner or the Partnership Representative, as applicable, for all expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Members.

5.1General.

Any attempted disposition of a Member's Membership Interest, or any part or portion thereof, in violation of this provision is null and void ab initio, and the Company shall not be obligated to recognize any such attempted disposition.

5.2Admission of Substitute Members. An assignee of a Member's Membership Interest shall be admitted as a substitute member and shall be entitled to all the rights and powers of the assignor (to the extent assigned), provided that (i) the Manager approves in writing the substitution of the assignee for the assignor as a member, and (ii) the assignee accepts, adopts, approves and agrees, in writing, to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If admitted, the assignee, as a substitute member, shall have, to the extent assigned, all of the rights and powers, and shall be subject to all of the restrictions and liabilities, of the assigning Member. The assignor shall not thereby be relieved of any of its unperformed obligations to the Company.

5.4Dissolution, etc. In the event of the death, dissolution, termination, bankruptcy or insolvency of a Member (such event and such Member being hereinafter referred to as the "Disabling Event" and "Disabled Member," respectively), the Company shall not dissolve, but shall continue. The Disabled

Member's Representative or Successor-in-Interest (each, a "Successor") shall be admitted as a Member in the place and stead of the Disabled Member, provided that the Successor agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement. If the Successor refuses to agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement, then the Successor shall not be admitted to the Company, in which case the Membership Interest of the Disabled Member shall be forfeited, and the Successor shall have no interest in, or rights with respect to, the Company.

5.5    Redemption of Sharp’s Membership Interest.

(a)    If at any time on or prior to the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date, Sharp terminates his employment with TAM without Good Reason or if Sharp’s employment with TAM is terminated by TAM for Good Cause, then the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, by delivering written notice to Sharp, to purchase and redeem Sharp’s entire Membership Interest; provided, however, that if Sharp terminates his employment with TAM without Good Reason, then the Company’s right to purchase and redeem Sharp’s Membership Interest under this Section 5.5(a) shall be exercisable only after the expiration of six (6) months after the date of such termination of employment. In either such event, the purchase price for Sharp’s entire Membership Interest shall be One US Dollar (US $1), such payment constituting full payment for Sharp’s Membership Interest.

(b)    In each of the following situations, namely (A) at any time after the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date if Sharp is no longer employed by TAM, or (B) if a Termination Event occurs on or prior to the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date, at any time after the expiration of six (6) months after the date on which Sharp is no longer employed by TAM or the Termination Event occurs, Sharp (or in the case of his death, his estate) shall have the right to require the Company, upon ninety (90) days’ written notice, to purchase and redeem Sharp’s entire Membership Interest for an amount equal to the Liquidation Value (determined pursuant to Section 5.5(c) hereof) of his Membership Interest at such time, provided that the redemption price shall be reduced by any amount distributed to Sharp after the date of Sharp’s (or his estate’s) notice given to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.5(b), and provided further that the distribution of the redemption price shall be subordinate to an aggregate distribution to T-Asia of (x) T-Asia’s undistributed Preferred Capital and accrued but undistributed Preferred Return and (y) T-Asia’s undistributed preferred capital and accrued but undistributed preferred return in TPA II but without duplication so that the preferred capital and preferred return from all such entities (including the Company) are taken into account only once under this Agreement and the TPA II Agreement. The redemption price shall be payable in full in cash at the closing. The closing of the purchase and redemption of Sharp’s Membership Interest pursuant to this Section 5.5(b) shall take place in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.5(e) hereof on a business day designated by the Company with at least seven (7) days’ prior notice to Sharp, but not later than ninety (90) days after the date of delivery of Sharp’s notice to the Company, or if later (and to the extent applicable), the business day which is (or is nearest to) ten (10) days after the date of the Appraiser’s determination of the Liquidation Value in accordance with Section 5.5(c) hereof.

(c)    For purposes of this Section 5.5 hereof, the liquidation value (the “Liquidation Value”) shall be such amount as Sharp would have received on liquidation of the Company if the Company had liquidated all its assets at fair market value (exclusive of any value attributable to the name “Taubman”), net of the Company’s liabilities, including any and all applicable taxes and the assumed costs of sale, as of the date of the notice of redemption and immediately distributed the proceeds of such liquidation in accordance with Section 8.1(a) hereof. In the event agreement cannot be reached by the parties as to the Liquidation Value within forty (40) days after the date of the redemption notice, then the Liquidation Value shall be determined by an appraiser (the “Appraiser”) mutually agreed upon by the Company and Sharp. Failing agreement on an Appraiser within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the forty (40) day period, the Appraiser shall be an individual who is (i) a principal from one of the “Big Four” accounting firms and (ii) designated by the

Secretary General of the HKIAC. In the event none of the “Big Four” accounting firms is willing to allow one of its principals to serve as the Appraiser, then the Liquidation Value shall be determined by the HKIAC. The Appraiser shall act as expert and not as arbitrator, and his decision as to the Liquidation Value shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive.

(d)    Subject to the provisions of Section 5.5(a) hereof, at any time Sharp is no longer employed by TAM, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, by delivering written notice to Sharp, to purchase and redeem Sharp’s entire Membership Interest on the same terms and conditions as set forth in Section 5.5(b) hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise such right to purchase and redeem Sharp’s Membership Interest during the Lock-Out Period. The closing of the purchase and redemption pursuant to this Section 5.5(d) shall take place in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5(e) hereof on a business day designated by the Company with at least seven (7) days’ prior notice to Sharp but not later than ninety (90) days after the date of delivery of the Company’s notice to Sharp pursuant to this Section 5.5(d) or, if later (and to the extent applicable) the business day which is (or nearest to) ten (10) days after the date of the Appraiser’s determination of the Liquidation Value in accordance with Section 5.5(c) hereof. In the event the conditions of this Section 5.5(d) are met, the Company shall have the absolute right to purchase and redeem Sharp’s Membership Interest.

(e)     At the closing of the purchase and redemption of Sharp’s Membership Interest pursuant to Section 5.5(a), Section 5.5(b) or Section 5.5(d) hereof, the following, to the extent applicable, shall occur:

(i)    The Company shall pay the redemption price to Sharp by certified check or wire transfer.

(ii)    Sharp shall execute and deliver to the Company an assignment of his Membership Interest, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and such other documents, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, as may be necessary to assign and transfer his Membership Interest to the Company free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.

5.6    Cooperation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.5 hereof, the Members agree to work together in good faith to implement the provisions of such section and any transactions contemplated thereby in a manner that does not alter the economic arrangement among the Members and the Company, but that is tax efficient for the Members and the Company, taking into account the various jurisdictions that have taxing authority over the Members, the Company, and the Company’s subsidiaries (current and to-be-formed).

5.7    Admission of Additional Members. In the event the Manager desires to admit one or more persons as members in the Company from time to time, the Manager shall be authorized to do so, provided that in no event shall Sharp’s Sharing Percentage or Capital Account be reduced as a result of such admission.

(c)    No person dealing with the Company shall be required to investigate or inquire into the Manager’s authority to execute agreements, instruments, or documents, or to take actions, on behalf of the Company, and any person dealing with the Company shall be entitled to rely upon any agreement, instrument or document executed, and any action taken, by the Manager on behalf of the Company, and the Company shall be bound thereby.

(c)    One or more affiliates of the Manager may lend funds to the Company or to affiliates of the Company on such terms as the Manager and such lending affiliate may determine, provided that the interest rate charged on any such loan meets U.S. transfer pricing rules and the transfer pricing rules of the local jurisdiction of the borrowing affiliate.    

6.4Duties; Liability. The Manager shall not be required to devote the Manager’s (and no employee of the Manager shall be required to devote his or her) full time to the Company's affairs. The Manager shall have a duty of due care, but shall not be liable to the Company or to any of the Members by reason of any act performed for or on behalf of the Company or in furtherance of the Company's business, except that this provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of the Manager to the extent such elimination or limitation is not permitted by the Act.

6.5Indemnification. The Company shall, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the Act, (i) indemnify any person, and such person’s successors and legal representatives, if and insofar as such person was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Manager or Member of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, whether or not for profit, or by reason of anything done by such person in such capacity (collectively, the “Covered Matters”); and (ii) pay or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by such person and such person’s successors and legal representatives in connection with any Covered Matter in advance of final disposition of such Covered Matter.
