(1)For as long as this Agreement remains in effect, Manager shall not engage in any activities or perform any services that are not for the benefit of Owner, without Owner's prior approval. Owner hereby approves Manager providing (a) construction, architectural or other work or services for any tenants of a (anticipated) Regional Center, and (b) administrative, shareholder and other corporate services for Taubman Centers, Inc., one of the constituent partners of Owner pursuant to the Corporate Services Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, provided that, in each case, Manager is reasonably compensated for such work or services by Persons other than Owner.

(2)Owner agrees that it will approve any work, services or activities that Manager desires to perform that is not for the benefit of Owner, but that is tor the benefit of AAT Affiliates, provided that (i) Manager receives adequate compensation from Persons other than Owner for such services and activities, and (ii) such services and activities do not represent during any calendar year more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total of all of the services and activities performed or provided by Manager (measured on the basis of Manager's revenues and the sources of such revenues for such calendar year, determined on an accrual basis) and (iii) such services and activities do not adversely affect the Manager's ability to perform its duties hereunder. Manager shall provide reports to Owner, on a regular but no more often than quarterly basis, of Manager's activities described in this Section 6.3(2).

(3)In the event that Manager desires to provide Development Services or Management Services in respect of an Other Retail Property in which Owner has no direct or indirect Beneficial Interest, then the following provisions shall be applicable:

(a)Manager shall not provide any such services in respect of the subject Other Retail Property without Owner's approval, which may be withheld for any reason whatsoever (including,

without limitation, because the provision of such services by Manager would result in certain of Owner's constituents being subjected to certain adverse tax consequences);

(b)If and to the extent that the monetary compensation that Manager receives for the provision of services to the subject Other Retail Property exceeds the commercially reasonable value of the services so provided, then the excess monetary consideration received by Manager shall be paid over to Owner; and

(c)If and to the extent that Manager obtains an equity interest in an Other Retail Property as all or part of its compensation for providing services with respect to the Other Retail Property, then, at the election of Owner, such equity interest shall inure to Owner (and Manager shall assign the same to Owner); provided, however, that if such equity interest is offered to Manager in lieu of all or part of a commercially reasonable monetary fee for Manager's provision of the subject services and Owner elects to cause the same to be assigned to it, then Owner shall pay Manager, in consideration for the equity interest assigned by Manager to Owner, an amount equal to the difference between a commercially reasonable fee for the services rendered by Manager with respect to the subject Other Retail Property, and any monetary compensation (other than the equity interest) actually received by Manager in consideration for the provision of the subject services.

Pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.3(3), Owner hereby consents to, and waives its rights to any compensation with respect to, arrangements with respect to Other Retail Property owned, directly or indirectly, in part or entirely by AAT Affiliates on the date of this Agreement and not contributed to Owner prior to or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Partnership Agreement of Owner. Nothing herein shall prohibit Owner from receiving its proportionate share of profits and distributions of the Manager as the limited partner of Manager.

Section 6.4. Annual Budget.

As part of the services to be provided by Manager to Owner under Articles II, III, IV and V above, Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner, prior to the beginning of each fiscal year of Owner, for Owner's review and approval, an annual development budget (the “Annual Development Budget”) and an annual operating budget (the “Annual Operating Budget”) for Owner. Taken together, the Annual Development Budget and the Annual Operating Budget (collectively referred to as the “Annual Budget”) shall reflect a reasonable estimate of all revenues (including anticipated borrowings) and expenses and expenditures which Owner may reasonably expect to receive, incur and pay out for the subject fiscal year, and a schedule of anticipated distributions (covering both the amount and the timing of such distributions) to the constituent partners of Owner for the subject fiscal year. The Annual Operating Budget shall include an estimate of

Owner's expenses and revenues that are unrelated to the Properties, Owner's Property Interests, and the Owning Entities, (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of providing, and associated with, the Administrative Services provided by Manager pursuant to this Agreement), shall disclose all payments to AAT Affiliates and Manager and its Affiliates and shall include such other information as Owner may reasonably request. Further, in connection with submission of the Annual Budget, Manager shall also propose and submit to Owner, for Owner's review, a 3 year capital expenditure projection, showing Manager's then-current estimates as to the costs of major capital improvements, expansions, and redevelopments at the Regional Centers over the ensuing 3 year period, all to the extent not otherwise provided in a Specific Development Budget.

Section 6.5. Owner's Funds.

(1)Manager shall maintain at its expense a fidelity bond in an amount not less than that from time to time reasonably requested by Owner (which amount shall, as of the date of this Agreement, be One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)) covering all of Managers employees and officers handling Owner's (and any applicable Owning Entities') funds pursuant to this Agreement.

(2)Manager shall be responsible for losses of funds collected by Manager on Owner's behalf caused by the material breach, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Manager and Managers Indemnified Parties.

ARTICLE VII

INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1. Insurance.

(1)Manager shall secure, maintain, and pay for, from the appropriate Bank Accounts, all forms of insurance which are, in Owner's judgment and communicated to Manager, needed to adequately protect Owner and, in Manager's judgment, needed to adequately protect Manager (both of whom shall be named as insured parties under all liability insurance policies) with respect to each Property, all of which insurance shall be written to protect Manager and Owner in the same manner and to the same extent. Copies of all such insurance policies shall be furnished to Manager and Owner.

(2)Manager shall cooperate with Owner with respect to any claim which may arise under any such insurance policies. The prosecution of any such claim shall be at the sole cost and expense of Owner.

(3)Manager shall notify Owner as soon as possible after it receives notice of any material loss, damage or injury and shall take no action which might operate to bar Owner from obtaining any protection afforded by any insurance policy or which might prejudice Owner in its defense to a claim based on such loss, damage or injury.

(4)Owner shall have the exclusive right, at its option, to conduct the defense to any claim, demand or suit within the limits prescribed by insurance policies.

(5)Manager shall maintain original policies and/or certificates of insurance evidencing all insurance coverages required to be carried, and which are furnished, by tenants at a Property, and/or any Third Parties with respect to any Property.

(2)Owner shall:

(a)Indemnify and hold harmless Manager, its partners, Affiliates and related entities, and the respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees and agents of Manager and of its partners, Affiliates and related entities (collectively, “Manager's Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, actions, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) resulting from damage to property or injury to, or death of, Persons from grossly negligent acts or willful misconduct in or about a Property when Manager is carrying out the provisions of this Agreement or acting under the direction of Owner;

(b)Defend or cause to be defended, at no expense to any of Manager's Indemnified Parties, any claims, actions or proceedings brought against any of Manager's Indemnified Parties or any of the Manager's Indemnified Parties and Owner, jointly and severally, arising out of the foregoing; and

(1)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Manager shall not have any liability to Owner, Owner's Indemnified Parties or any other Person in connection with the performance, non-performance, or negligent performance of any services provided or to be provided by any Third Parties (including, without limitation, general contractors, construction supervisors or other design or construction professionals) with respect to any Development Opportunity and/or the expansion or major reconstruction, repair, renovation or the like of a Regional Center. In particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Manager shall have no liability whatsoever for (i) the design of any Property, (ii) the construction or completion of any Property (or any aspect thereof) in a timely manner, and/or within the amounts specified in any budget pertaining to the same (or the individual line items thereof), (iii) the quality of construction and other work associated with any Property, (iv) services to be performed by any of

Except as otherwise expressly provided above, Owner's sole recourse with respect to design defects, errors or omissions, construction defects, cost overruns, delays or any failure to provide, or error in providing, services for any Property shall be such as may exist against the design professionals or other Third Parties.

(2)Manager will have no liability for payment of any fees, charges or other sums that may become due and payable to any Third Parties, whether pursuant to any contracts or agreements between Manager (as agent of Owner) and such Third Parties, or otherwise.

(3)Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Managers Indemnified Parties from and against any and all claims or liabilities asserted against or incurred by Manager's indemnified Parties as a result of any of the matters described in this Section 7.3.

(4)For purposes of this Section 7.3, the term 'Third Party" shall include a Third Party that is an Affiliate of Manager provided that the terms of engagement of any such Affiliate shall have been approved by Owner.

ARTICLE VIII

COMPENSATION

Section 8.1. Compensation.

(1)As Manager's compensation for providing all of the Development Services, Management Services, Acquisition Services, and Administrative Services contemplated under this Agreement, Owner shall pay to Manager a fee (“Manager's Compensation”) for each fiscal year (or portion thereof) during which this Agreement is in effect, equal to such amount as will be determined by Owner and Manager for such fiscal year (or portion thereof) and set forth on the Annual Budget for the same. Manager's Compensation, which shall be determined (and set forth in the Annual Budget) as an annual sum, shall be calculated each year so as to be comparable to and consistent with fees and costs (including, without limitation, management fees, leasing commissions, incentive fees, and other such similar fees, and costs and reimbursables) charged by Manager for comparable services to, or required to be paid by, the Owning Entities under all then-existing Property Services Agreements, and will be an amount that will be commercially reasonable. In the event that Manager and Owner are unable to agree upon the amount of Manager's compensation for any fiscal year (i.e., if Manager and Owner are unable to agree upon the Annual Budget for the subject fiscal year), then the principles used in determining Manager's Compensation for the fiscal year in question shall be the same as were used to determine the amount of Manager's Compensation for the immediately preceding fiscal year.

(2)Managers Compensation for each fiscal year shall be paid by Owner to Manager monthly in advance on the first Day of each month, in monthly installments as set forth in the Annual Budget, based on the annual amount of Managers Compensation, as set forth in the Annual Budget for such fiscal year (as such Annual Budget may be revised from time to time).

(3)The basis on which Manager's Compensation is calculated for the First Fiscal Year is included and described in the approved Annual Budget for the First Fiscal Year.

Section 8.2. Relationship With Property Services Agreements.

Owner and Manager acknowledge and agree that the compensation provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to be separate and independent of the compensation provisions set forth in any of the Property Services Agreements. Thus, for example, the compensation that Manager receives under any of the Property Services Agreements (or under any other documents or agreements that Manager may enter into with respect to the provision of services or the performance of activities, to the extent permitted hereunder) shall not entitle Owner to any offsets or credits against the amount of the compensation to be paid by it to Manager under this Agreement, nor shall the compensation paid by Owner to Manager under this Agreement be credited against any compensation to which Manager may be entitled under the Property Services Agreements or other documents. To the extent that there are any overlaps between the services to be provided under this Agreement and those to be provided under any Property Services Agreements, the same shall be taken into account in connection with the calculation of Manager's Compensation under this Agreement, so as to insure that Manager is not compensated twice for performing the same services.

Section 8.3. Compensation for Special Services and Acquisition Services.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Manager's obligation to perform Special Services (described in Section 3.13 hereof) or Acquisition Services (described in Article IV hereof) is contingent upon Manager's Compensation being adjusted in order to account for the provision of such Special Services or such Acquisition Services. Accordingly, in the event and to the extent that the then-current Annual Budget does not contemplate the Special Services (as provided in Section 3.13 hereof) or the Acquisition Services (as provided in Article IV hereof) then requested or to be provided by Manager, then Manager shall not be required to perform such Special Services or Acquisition Services until Owner has agreed to compensate Manager on a basis which is consistent with and comparable to fees and costs charged by Manager for such services pursuant to existing Property Services Agreements (it being agreed that Acquisition Services will be compensated for on the same basis as Special Services).

Section 8.4. Reimbursements.

(1)Provided that such items are contemplated in the approved Annual Budget, Owner shall pay Manager monthly, upon presentation of invoices, all costs and expenses incurred by Manager in connection with the performance of Manager's obligations hereunder, including, but not limited to, the following:

(a)All compensation (including payroll expenses, fringe benefits and profit sharing, if any) paid to all employees of Manager located at a Property, including employees of any Affiliate of Manager;

(b)Owner's share of advertising and promotional expenses and merchants' association and/or promotion fund dues;

(c)Costs incurred in maintaining and operating a Property, including, without limitation, costs incurred in establishing and maintaining Manager's on-site management and leasing office;

(d)All travel and business expenses of employees;

(e)All attorneys' fees and disbursements;

(f)All relocation costs and expenses of employees in connection with their relocation to a Property;

(g)All fees and payments made to Third Parties, including, but not limited to, consultant and brokerage fees; and

(h)All other costs and expenses not otherwise provided for herein which are approved by Owner.

(2)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following costs and/or expenses incurred by Manager shall be at Manager's sole cost and expense and shall not be reimbursable by Owner or paid out of collections from a Property:

(a)All costs and expenses, including employee compensation, relating to Manager's home office or any regional office;

(b)All costs and expenses attributable to losses arising from criminal acts, willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud on the part of Managers Indemnified Parties;

(c)All costs of liability or other insurance carried by Manager; and

(d)All costs of the fidelity bond described in Section 6.5(1) above.

Section 8.5. Payment of Compensation.

Manager may withdraw funds from the appropriate Bank Accounts for its compensation, reimbursement and other amounts owed hereunder when such compensation, reimbursement and other amounts are due for payment. Notwithstanding that Managers Compensation or any other amounts payable hereunder may be calculated on a lump-sum, aggregated basis, Manager shall not make withdrawals for its own account from any particular Bank Account of amounts which exceed the portion of Managers Compensation, reimbursements and other amounts which are allocable to the Properties and/or Owning Entities to which such Bank Account relates; the formula for establishing such allocation shall be mutually agreed upon by Owner and Manager annually, as a part of the approval of the Annual Budget.

Section 8.6. Management Office.

With respect to each Regional Center and each Development Opportunity on which buildings have been or will be constructed, Owner shall provide Manager, rent-free, a suitable management and leasing office, furnished by Owner in accordance with Managers requirements. Each such office shall be used solely in connection with the performance of Managers duties under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

(b)A court of competent jurisdiction enters an order, judgment or decree approving a petition filed against Manager seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under the present or future applicable statute or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, and a party shall acquiesce (as hereinabove defined) in the entry of such order, judgment or decree, or the same shall remain unvacated or unstayed for an aggregate of ninety (90) Days from the date of entry thereof, or any trustee, receiver, conservator or liquidator of Manager or of all or any substantial part of its property shall be appointed without the consent of or with the acquiescence of Manager and such appointment shall remain unvacated or unstayed for an aggregate of ninety (90) Days; or

to it hereunder, or at law or in equity against Owner. In addition, Manager shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to that effect to Owner.

(2)If such default is a non-monetary default and is curable but is of such nature that it cannot reasonably be completely cured within such thirty (30) Day period, then the cure period shall be extended for a reasonable period of time thereafter, so long as Owner promptly after receiving such notice commences to cure such default and thereafter proceeds with reasonable diligence to complete the curing thereof.

Section 9.5. Effect of Termination.

Upon any termination of this Agreement, Manager shall, with respect to each Property no longer to be managed by Manager (whether under this Agreement or any Owning Entity Agreement), forthwith (i) surrender and deliver to Owner any space in the Property occupied by Manager, (ii) deliver to Owner all monies due Owner under this Agreement with respect to such Property, which are received by Manager after termination, (iii) deliver to Owner such contracts, documents, papers and records pertaining to the Property and this Agreement as Owner may request, and (iv) furnish all such information and take all such action as Owner shall require in order to effectuate an orderly and systematic termination of Manager's duties and activities hereunder.
