(b) Executive will not bring to Employer for use in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder any confidential or proprietary information or property of any other person without the express written consent of such other person.

(c) Except as disclosed in writing to Employer, there are no prior, pending or existing customer complaints, or regulatory, self-regulatory, administrative, civil or criminal matters, or any other impediments that would affect Executive’s employment, licensing or registration. Should Executive become a subject of any such complaints, actions or matters, Executive agrees to immediately report such fact, in writing, to Employer.

(d) Executive has no other agreements or understandings, written or oral, with Employer regarding compensation.

SECTION 6. NON-COMPETITION

6.1 Non-Competition. 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 within ten (10) years after the Effective Date, 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.

6.2 Conflicts of Interest. Without limiting the foregoing, without the prior express written authorization of the Board or such committee as may be designated from time to time by the Board to screen possible conflicts of interest between the activities of individual managers and Employer’s business, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, during the Term and for one year thereafter, engage in any activity (a “Conflict of Interest”) competitive with or adverse to the business of Employer or its affiliates, whether alone, as a partner, or as an officer, director, employee or investor of or in any other entity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, it is expressly understood and agreed that:

(a) 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 shall not be deemed to constitute a Conflict of Interest.

(b) It shall not be a Conflict of Interest for Executive to serve 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.

6.3 Non-Solicitation of Employees. Executive agrees that during the Term and for a period of one 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 Severability of Provisions. Executive agrees that each of the restrictions set out in Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 above represents a separate and independent restriction, and that such restrictions are reasonable having regard to 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 the 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.

6.5 Injunctive Relief. Executive agrees that the covenants and restrictions set out in Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 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 and 6.3 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 and 6.3 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.

6.6 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 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, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, India, and Australia.

SECTION 7. COMPLIANCE

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 policies and practices. Executive further agrees to submit to such supervision as may be necessary to ensure compliance therewith.

SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS

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 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. 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.

8.7 Confidentiality; Proprietary Information. Executive agrees to not make use of, divulge or otherwise disclose, directly or indirectly any trade secret or other confidential or proprietary information concerning the business (including but not limited to its employees, services, practices or policies) of Employer or any of its Affiliates (“Confidential Information”) of which Executive may learn or be aware as a result of Executive’s employment during the Term, 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 obtainable from other sources, or (iii) authorized in writing by Employer. All records, files, documents, drawings, specifications, software, equipment and similar items relating to the business of Employer or its affiliates, including without limitation all records relating to customers (the “Documents”), 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 Documents in the possession or under the control of Executive. The provisions of this Section 8.7 shall survive the expiration, suspension or termination of this Agreement for any reason. In the event Executive becomes legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information, then Executive will provide Employer with prompt notice thereof so that Employer may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.7. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that Employer waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.7, Executive will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which, in Employer’s reasonable judgment, is legally required unless applicable law (or an authority having jurisdiction thereunder) dictates otherwise.

8.9 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 6.4, 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.

8.10 Section Headings. Section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts. All of such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective when a copy signed by each party has been delivered to the other party.

8.12 Representation By Counsel; Interpretation. Employer and Executive each acknowledge that each party to this Agreement has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the matters contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law, or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to effect the intent of the parties.

8.13 Right of Offset. Employer shall have the right to set off, against any amount otherwise payable to Employee under this Agreement, any amount owed by Employee to Employer or to any affiliate of Employer, whether under this Agreement or otherwise.
