EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 15th day of October, 2010, by and between Taubman Asia MANAGEMENT Limited, an exempted Company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (“Employer”), and RENÉ TREMBLAY (“Executive”).

SECTION 1. SERVICES; TERM

1.1    Engagement. Employer agrees to employ and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, shall continue to employ Executive, and Executive shall serve Employer as President, commencing October 15, 2010 (the “Start Date”). In such capacity, Executive shall be responsible for the day-to-day operations of Employer and its subsidiaries and affiliates in Asia, and shall seek out and, at the direction and subject to the approval of Employer's Board of Directors (the “Board”) and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), negotiate transactions, and shall perform such other services for and on behalf of Employer as directed from time to time by the CEO or the Board reasonably consistent with Executive's title, position, authority, duties, and responsibilities, all in accordance with the business purposes of Employer. Executive shall have such corporate power and authority as shall reasonably be required to enable the discharge of his duties in office.

1.2    Duty to Employer. For so long as Executive shall be employed hereunder, Executive shall devote all of' his business time, energy and ability to the business, affairs and interests of Employer and its subsidiaries and to matters related thereto, shall faithfully and diligently promote Employer's interests and shall perform the services contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer acknowledges that during the period from the Start Date through December 31, 2010 (the “Transition Period”), Executive may be working on less than a “full time” basis. Executive agrees to observe and comply with the written lawful rules and regulations of Employer respecting the performance of Executive's duties and agrees to carry out and perform all such reasonable orders, directions and policies of Employer, its Board and its CEO as they may be, from time to time, stated either orally or in writing.

1.3    Board Seat. Employer's sole shareholder, The Taubman Company Asia Limited, will appoint Executive to serve on the Board as a director and agrees to continue such appointment for the Term. Executive will accept such appointment and agrees to continue to serve on the Board as a director for the Term without additional remuneration.

1.4    Affiliates. Executive agrees to serve, without additional remuneration, on the board of directors or in such executive capacity for one or more Asian affiliates of Employer, including, without limitation, direct or indirect subsidiaries of Employer, as the Board or the CEO may from time to time request. In such capacity, Executive agrees to faithfully and diligently promote the business, affairs and interests of Employer and such affiliates. Employer shall, at its own cost, provide Directors & Officers Liability insurance coverage for Executive with respect to all directorships and positions held by him pursuant to this Agreement.

1.5    Term. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 4 hereof, Employer shall employ Executive, and Executive shall serve Employer, in accordance with the provisions of this

Agreement (i) for the term (the “Initial Term”) commencing on the Start Date and continuing through December 31, 2015, and (ii) thereafter, on the expiration of the Initial Term or any renewal term, Executive's employment hereunder will be automatically renewed for an additional period of twelve (12) months commencing immediately following such expiration unless either Employer or Executive gives written notice at least one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to any such expiration (of the Initial Term or a renewal term) declining to renew Executive's employment hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, the Initial Term, together with any renewal terms, shall be referred to as the “Term.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for “good cause” or without “good cause” in accordance with Section 4 hereof.

2.1    Salary. Executive will be paid a salary, 40% in Hong Kong Dollars and 60% in U.S. Dollars, equal to US$650,000.00 per annum, in equal installments at the end of each month, during his employment hereunder. Employer and Executive agree to review the salary annually to determine whether any increase is appropriate; however, Employer will make the final decision in its sole discretion.

2.2    Bonuses. Executive will be eligible to receive an annual bonus, which will be paid in U.S. Dollars, for each full calendar year he works for Employer in such amount as Employer may determine based on Executive's achievement of performance goals established by Employer, in good faith consultation with Executive, in February of each year. Executive's “target bonus” (“Target Bonus”) will be US$500,000 but the actual bonus will range from zero to 200% of the target bonus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer agrees to pay Executive in U.S. Dollars an annual minimum cash bonus for the three (3) year period commencing on January 1^st, 2011 equal to US$500,000 per annum (“Minimum Guaranteed Bonus”). During the Term, such Minimum Guaranteed Bonus will be paid in monthly installments of US$41,666 at the end of each month. Executive's entitlement to a bonus upon or following termination is governed by Section 4 hereof. Any cash bonus (other than the Minimum Guaranteed Bonus) will be paid at the same time Employer pays its cash bonuses generally. Following the Initial Term, Executive's salary and annual bonus will be determined pursuant to good faith negotiation between Employer and Executive.

To his current knowledge, no such obligation or duty prohibits Executive from working for Employer or from performing the services that the parties intend Executive to perform for Employer. Executive agrees to advise Employer if he learns of or comes to believe that any such obligation or duty prohibits him from continuing to work for Employer or from continuing to perform some or all of his job duties.

6.1    Non-Competition.

 

(a)Executive acknowledges that, in the course of his employment with Employer pursuant to this Agreement, he will become familiar with trade secrets and other confidential information concerning Employer and its affiliates and that his services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company. Executive agrees that for the Term (and, if Executive's employment hereunder is terminated or expires, for a period of one (1) year thereafter), he shall not in any manner, directly or indirectly, through any Executive Related Entity or otherwise, engage or be engaged, or assist any other person, firm, corporation, enterprise or business in engaging or being engaged, in the Line of Business in the Territory unless previously approved in writing by Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not be deemed to violate this paragraph:

(1)Ownership by Executive of less than five percent (5%) in aggregate of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation with one or more classes of its capital stock listed on a securities exchange or publicly traded in the over-the-counter market.

(2)Service by Executive in any capacity with any civic, educational or charitable organization, provided that such activities and services do not interfere or conflict with the performance of his duties hereunder or create any conflict of interest with such duties.

6.2    Compliance with Policies. Executive agrees to comply with all written lawful policies of Employer in effect from time to time.

6.3    Non-Solicitation of Employees. Executive agrees that during the Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, disrupt, damage, impair, or interfere with the business of Employer or any affiliate thereof by hiring, or allowing any Executive Related Entity to hire, any employee of Employer or any affiliate thereof or by soliciting, influencing, encouraging or recruiting any employee of Employer or any affiliate thereof to work for Executive or an Executive Related Entity.

6.4    Confidentiality; Proprietary Information. Executive agrees that during the course of his employment with Employer, he will have access to and learn trade secrets and other non-public, confidential, and/or proprietary information concerning the business (including but not limited to its employees, services, practices or policies) of Employer and its affiliates (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Executive promises never to make use of, disclose, or divulge any Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, except to the extent such use or disclosure is (i) necessary to the performance of this Agreement and in furtherance of Employer's best interests, (ii) lawfully and publicly obtainable from other sources through no fault or breach of Executive, or (iii) authorized in writing by Employer. All records, files, documents, drawings, specifications, software, computerized data and information on any medium, equipment, and similar items or materials containing Confidential Information or otherwise relating to the business of Employer or its affiliates, including without limitation all records relating to customers (collectively, “Employer Materials”), whether prepared by Executive or otherwise coming into Executive's possession, shall remain the exclusive property of Employer or such affiliates. Upon termination of employment, Executive agrees to promptly deliver to Employer all Employer Materials in the possession or under the control of Executive. The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive the expiration, suspension or termination of this Agreement for any reason. Executive promises that if he ever becomes legally compelled (for example, by court order or subpoena) to disclose any Confidential Information or Employer Materials, he will notify Employer as soon as possible after learning of the requested disclosure and, prior to disclosing any such information or materials, cooperate fully with the Company in its pursuit of a protective order or other lawful efforts to resist disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include (a) the identity and contact information of Executive's contacts, including those existing prior to commencement of his employment with Employer or developed during his employment, or (b) information already known by Executive prior to his employment with Employer other than through disclosure to him during the negotiation of this Agreement and the LLC Agreement.

6.5    Severability of Provisions.

Executive agrees that each of the restrictions set out in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4 above represents a separate and independent restriction, and that such restrictions are reasonable in the context of Executive's position with Employer. If for any reason whatsoever, any one or more of such restrictions contained in such Sections shall,

individually or taken together, be adjudged to go beyond what is reasonable for the protection of the legitimate interest of Employer and its affiliates, such restriction or restrictions shall be severed from this Agreement without affecting the remainder of the provisions in this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

6.6    Injunctive Relief. Executive agrees that the covenants and restrictions set out in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 above are fair, reasonable and necessary and are reasonably required for the protection of Employer and its affiliates, having regard to Executive's seniority and position with Employer. Executive also acknowledges that any breach by him of any provision of Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 above is likely to cause irreparable harm to Employer and its interests. Executive accepts that monetary damages are unlikely to adequately compensate Employer in such event, and hence, in the event of any actual or threatened breach of any provision of Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 above, Executive agrees that Employer shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin such breach (without being required to post any bond or other security therefor), and Executive expressly submits to the jurisdiction of any such court for this purpose. Executive also consents to the issuance by such court of a temporary restraining order to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any substantive proceedings.

6.7    Definitions. For purposes of this Section 6, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings provided below:

(1)    “Executive Related Entity” means any person, firm, corporation, enterprise, or partnership, other than Taubman Properties Asia LLC, in which Executive holds any interest or in respect of which Executive serves as an officer, director, shareholder, investor or employee or serves as an advisor or consultant, or in relation to which Executive is otherwise affiliated.

(2)    “Line of Business” means investment in commercial real estate properties and/or the development, operation or management of such properties.

(3)“Territory” means the People's Republic of China, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macau Special Administrative Region, the Republic of China, the Republic of Korea, and (provided Employer is active in such countries at the time of Executive's termination) Japan, Singapore, and India.

Executive agrees to abide by all existing and future laws, all rules and regulations set forth by all competent regulatory agencies, exchanges, and self-regulatory bodies and Employer's internal rules and regulations and written lawful policies and practices. Executive further agrees to submit to such supervision as may be necessary to ensure compliance therewith.

8.1    Succession; Survival. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Employer, its successors and assigns, but without the prior written consent of Executive, this Agreement may not be assigned other than to an affiliate of Employer or in connection with a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Employer or a similar transaction in which the successor or assignee assumes (whether by operation of law or express assumption) all obligations of Employer hereunder. Employer and The Taubman Realty Group Limited Partnership (“TRG”) shall remain liable

(including pursuant to the Guaranty) notwithstanding any such assignment and assumption. The obligations and duties of Executive hereunder are personal and otherwise not assignable. Amounts payable to Executive hereunder shall not be subject to sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or alienation other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecommunication, when transmitted to the applicable number so specified in (or pursuant to) this Section 8.2 and an appropriate confirmation of transmission is received, or (ii) if given by any other means, when actually delivered to the intended address.

8.3    Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any prior agreements, undertakings, commitments and practices relating to the subject matter thereof.

8.4    Waiver. No failure on the part of any party to exercise or delay in exercising any right hereunder shall be deemed a waiver thereof or of any other right, nor shall any single or partial exercise preclude any further or other exercise of such right or any other right.

8.5    Choice of Law. This Agreement, the legal relations between the parties and any action, whether contractual or non-contractual, instituted by any party with respect to matters arising under or growing out of or in connection with or in respect of this Agreement, the relationship of the parties or the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such jurisdiction and without regard to conflicts of law doctrines, to the extent permitted by law.

8.8    Severability. If this Agreement shall for any reason be or become unenforceable in any material respect by any party, this Agreement shall thereupon terminate and become unenforceable by the other party as well. Subject to Section 6.5, if any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and if any provision is held invalid or unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect in all other circumstances, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3 and Section 4.3 (a) hereof, the parties agree to work together in good faith to implement the provisions of such sections and any acts contemplated thereby in a manner that does not alter the economic arrangement among the parties, but that is tax efficient for the parties, taking into account the various jurisdictions that have taxing authority over the parties.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have executed, or caused their duly authorized representatives to execute, this Agreement as of the date first-above written.

Reference is made to that certain Employment Agreement, dated as of __________, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”), between Taubman Asia Management Limited (the “Employer”) and René Tremblay (“Executive”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Employment Agreement. For good and valuable consideration, Executive agrees as follows:

1.    Executive hereby resigns from all directorships or other positions which Executive may hold with Employer or its subsidiaries and affiliates.

2.    General Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Executive waives, releases, and discharges Employer, together with its current and former officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, affiliated entities, related entities, attorneys, any other representatives, and successors in interest (collectively referred to as “Released Parties”), separately, together, or in any combination, from any claims and any causes of action arising in the course of or out of Executive's employment with Employer or the termination of Executive employment with Employer under any state and federal statutes and under the common law.

Executive and Employer intend that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, these waivers, releases, and discharges will be a general release, will extinguish any claims and any causes of action, will preclude any lawsuit or any other legal claim by Executive against any of the Released Parties about anything that occurred before the date of the signing of this Agreement, including any claim or any cause of action arising out of or relating to Executive's employment with Employer or the termination of Executive's employment with Employer. This Agreement will not be construed to prohibit the filing of a Charge of Discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or a state agency, but this Agreement includes a release of Executive's right to file a lawsuit or to receive any monetary recovery and any other remedies if the EEOC or a state agency pursues any claims on Executive's behalf. The only claims and causes of action that Executive is not waiving, releasing, and discharging are for the consideration that Executive will receive under Section 4.3(a) of the Employment Agreement, if any; any and all rights, benefits, entitlements, and indemnities under the LLC Agreement or under any D&O Liability Insurance; and any claims and causes of action that, as a matter of law, cannot be waived, released, and discharged.

3.    Agreement Not to Sue. In return for Employer's obligations under this Agreement, Executive gives up, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to file any lawsuit against Employer about anything arising in the course of or out of Executive's employment or the termination of Executive's employment with Employer under the law of any state or country, whether statutory or common law.

4.    Accord and Satisfaction. The consideration set forth in this Resignation and Release of Claims is in full accord and satisfaction of any claims and any causes of action that Executive has, may have, or may have had against Employer arising in the course of or out of Executive's employment with Employer or the termination of Executive's employment with Employer.

5.    After Discovered Facts. Executive acknowledges that Executive may discover facts different from or in addition to those that Executive now knows or believes to be true, and this waiver and release will remain effective in all respects, despite the discovery of any different or additional facts.

6.    No Pending Claims. Executive has not filed any claims, charges, suits, or actions of any kind against any of the Released Parties that have not been fully resolved as of the date of the signing of this Resignation and Release of Claims.

7.    Agreement as Complete Defense. If Executive asserts against any of the Released Parties any claim or any cause of action within the scope of paragraph 2 above, Released Parties may assert this Agreement as a complete defense to that claim or cause of action. Executive will reimburse Released Parties for any expenses and legal fees that Released Parties incur in defending any such claim or cause of action, in addition to any other relief to which Released Parties may be entitled.

8.    No Other Compensation. Executive is not entitled to any compensation, bonuses, commissions, benefits, or any other consideration from Employer, except as may be expressly provided in Section 4.3(a) of the Employment Agreement.
