Board in accordance with the Company's corporate governance practices from time
to time, the Executive shall perform such executive and managerial duties and

significant division or subsidiary of a public company who is responsible for

devote substantially all of his business time and attention, his reasonable best
efforts, and all his skill and ability to promote the interests and goodwill of
the Development Company and TrizecHahn, (ii) carry out his duties in a competent
and professional manner and (iii) work with other employees of the Development
Company and TrizecHahn in a competent and professional manner. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Executive shall be permitted to engage in other business
activities (as an active participant or a passive investor), including, without
limitation, serving on civic or charitable boards and committees and performing
speaking engagements, provided that (x) any such business activities are not
rendered for a Person which transacts business with the Development Company or
TrizecHahn or which engages in business competitive with that conducted by the
Development Company or TrizecHahn (excluding the ownership of not more than 1/4
of 1% of the outstanding shares of any class of a corporation that are publicly
traded where the Executive has no involvement in the corporation other than as a
passive investor and excluding any involvement of the Executive in any of
Galleria Partners, L.P., Hycel Partners I, L.P., Crestwood Plaza, L.L.C., any
successor to any such entity or any assignee of any such entity which has been
approved by the Company's CEO, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) and (y) such civic, charitable, business and other activities, both
individually and collectively, do not interfere with the performance of the
Executive's duties or responsibilities under this Agreement.
4. COMPENSATION
4.1 Consideration for Services. Except as otherwise provided for herein, for
so long as the Executive remains employed hereunder, the Company shall pay and
provide, or cause to be paid and provided, to the Executive the compensation and
benefits set out in this Section 4, and the Executive shall accept the same, as
full compensation and consideration for the performance of the services to be
rendered by him under this Agreement.
4.2 Annual Base Salary. The Executive shall be entitled to a base salary
payable at the rate of $625,000 per annum, subject to adjustment as provided in
this Section. Such base salary shall be payable in installments in accordance
with the usual compensation practices of the Development Company from time to
time. The amount of such base salary as in effect for any immediately preceding
year shall be increased as of January l in each year, commencing in 1998, by at
least the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index since January 1 of
such immediately preceding year. The base salary amount shall be reviewed
annually by the Compensation Committee.
4.3 Annual Bonus. Each December, the Compensation Committee shall determine,
in its sole discretion, whether the Executive should receive a lump-sum cash
bonus based on the Executive's contributions to the Company and the Development
Company and the amount of any such bonus. The Company acknowledges that, in its
discussions with the Executive, both the Company and the Executive had an
expectation that, if awarded by the Compensation Committee, such bonus would be
targeted at 50%-60% of the Executive's base salary. The Executive acknowledges,
however, that the decision whether to grant a bonus in any given year and, if
granted, the amount of the bonus are both to be determined by the Compensation
Committee in its sole
9
discretion. Any such bonus awarded by the Compensation Committee shall be paid
by the Company or the Development Company.
4.4 Options. The Board has approved the grant to the Executive of Options
to purchase 300,000 Shares pursuant to the Plan. In addition, the Executive will
be granted on the next grant date immediately following each of the second,
third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Effective Date Options to purchase
an additional 100,000 Shares on each such date, such Options to be granted in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Although
the parties acknowledge that grants of Options are made in the discretion of the
Compensation Committee and the Board, the failure of the Company to grant any
Options required by this Section 4.4 on a timely basis shall be a material
breach of this Agreement.
4.5 Incentive Awards. Following the Opening of each Incentive Project, the
Executive shall receive an incentive award (an "Incentive Award") if the
Incentive Project satisfies its Return Test within five years; provided that, if
TrizecHahn's interest in the Incentive Project is subject to a binding agreement
of sale at the expiry of such five-year period, the period in which such Return
Test may be satisfied shall be extended until the completion or termination of
the sale of TrizecHahn's interest pursuant to such agreement of sale. The amount
of the Incentive Award shall be $1,200,000; provided that if, at the time the
Incentive Project was approved and designated as an Incentive Project by the
Development Committee, the product obtained by multiplying the total overall
project cost of the Incentive Project by TrizecHahn's percentage ownership
interest in the Incentive Project (such product being referred to in this
Section 4.5 as "TrizecHahn's Cost") is less than $50,000,000, the amount of the
Incentive Award shall be $1,200,000 multiplied by the percentage that
TrizecHahn's Cost is of $70,000,000. If the Return Test is not satisfied within
five years following such Opening (subject to extension as provided above where
the Incentive Project is subject to a binding agreement of sale at the expiry of
such five-year period), no Incentive Award shall be payable in respect of such
Incentive Project; provided that, if the Incentive Project fails to satisfy the
Return Test by reason of Force Majeure, the Company and the Executive shall make
such adjustments to the timing, amount or conditions to payment of an incentive
award for such Incentive Project as they may mutually determine to be
appropriate in the circumstances. As soon as reasonably practicable after the
determination that the Return Test has been satisfied, the Incentive Award shall
be satisfied by the issuance of Shares having an aggregate value (based on the
Market Price on the date of issue) equal to the amount of the Incentive Award;
provided, however, that if the Company is prohibited by any legal, regulatory or
stock exchange requirement from issuing such Shares without obtaining
shareholder approval, filing a prospectus or registration statement, preparing
an offering memorandum or complying with any other significant requirement or if
the Company determines, acting reasonably, that it would be inappropriate to
issue Shares at the relevant time by reason of the timing of any proposed
offering of securities by the Company or any of its affiliates, the Company may
elect to satisfy the Incentive Award in cash. The amount of the Incentive Award
shall be increased by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index from
the Effective Date to the date on which the Incentive Award becomes payable.
10
4.6 Expenses. For so long as he remains employed hereunder, the Executive
shall be reimbursed promptly for all reasonable, ordinary and necessary business

including the travel and moving expenses referred to in Section 4.11. The

Executives, including any automobile allowances.
4.10 Vacation. The Executive shall be entitled to four weeks' paid vacation
during each calendar year to be taken at such time or times as shall not
materially interfere with the Executive's fulfillment of his duties hereunder,
and shall be entitled to as many holidays, sick days and personal days as are in
accordance with the policy then in effect for the Senior U.S. Executives.
4.11 Relocation. Pending the relocation of the Executive's personal
residence to the area of the headquarters of the Development Company, the
Executive shall be reimbursed for his reasonable travel expenses to commute
between his St. Louis residence and the Development Company's headquarters and
for his reasonable living expenses for temporary accommodation in the area of
such headquarters. The Executive shall also be reimbursed for his reasonable
actual moving expenses in connection with his relocation from St. Louis to the
area of the Development Company's headquarters. For certainty, the Executive
shall not be entitled to any reimbursement or compensation for any loss suffered
as a result of any diminution in the value of his residence in St. Louis or any
costs incurred in connection with the sale of such residence.

shall be entitled to make such deductions and withholdings from the Executive's
remuneration as may be required by law and as may be required by the Executive's
participation in or receipt of any benefit,
11
stock option or other program contemplated hereby, and the obligations of the
Company and the Development Company in respect thereof shall thereby be
satisfied to the extent of such deductions and withholdings.

SCHEDULE A
TRIZECHAHN DEVELOPMENT GROUP MANDATE
See attached.
Discussion Draft: October 12 1997
---------------------------------
TRIZECHAHN DEVELOPMENT GROUP - MANDATE
The following outlines the principal elements of a suggested mandate for the
newly-formed TrizecHahn development group. Although the optimal legal and
financial structure for the new development group has yet to be settled, for
ease of reference, the group will be referred to as "TDC" (i.e., "TrizecHahn
Development Corporation"). The purpose of the outline is to clarify the
anticipated role of TDC to a degree sufficient to support recommendations in
other key areas, such as TDC's staffing requirements, legal and tax structure,
management processes, budgeting and cost allocation policies and business plan
generally.
It seems clear that a number of TDC's functions will be international in scope.
However, there appear to be noteworthy differences anticipated, at least
initially, as between TDC's role in: (1) North America; (2) Asia and South
America; and (3) Europe. As a result, for purposes of this preliminary outline,
TDC's mandate for each of those three geographic regions has been described
separately. In addition, the discussion of the mandate in each region is
organized to address the five key requirements of the development process: (1)
the formulation of strategy; (2) the identification of development
opportunities; (3) the evaluation of opportunities; (4) the execution of
approved projects; and (5) the transition from the development of a project to
actual operations.
In view of the expertise in the office segment which resides in TrizecHahn
Office Properties ("TH Office"), throughout this outline, the approach to be
taken to office-only projects and mixed-use projects in which the office
component is likely to be dominant (collectively referred to as "office
projects") is discussed separately.
SUMMARY
In its most basic form, TDC's mandate is to identify, evaluate, recommend and,
following approval, execute as quickly as possible the maximum number of
development projects which meet TrizecHahn's return, strategic and other
criteria. Pending the formulation of more specific domestic and international
development strategies, the relevant projects may include (either directly or
through partners) retail-entertainment, office, residential, hotel, industrial
and mixed-use development.
In North America, TDC will be responsible for identifying, evaluating,
recommending and executing all development opportunities, other than office
projects. TrizecHahn's development strategy in North America will be set by the
Chairman of TrizecHahn Corporation ("TZH"), the President of TZH and the
President of TDC, acting in consultation with an informal "Steering Committee"
involving other members of senior management. The officers who are expected to
participate in the Committee's activities include the Managing Director,
International of TZH, the President of TH Office, the Chief Operating
Officer of TDC, the Chief Financial Officer of TZH and other members of senior
management as circumstances warrant.
With respect to office projects in North America, responsibility for the
identification and evaluation of opportunities will fall to TH Office in
accordance with a program to be developed by TH Office in consultation with TDC.
North American office projects which move to the execution stage will be handled
by appropriately-qualified project managers (either to be hired or one of the
two currently employed by TH Office and TZH). Other than the Bay-Adelaide and
Banker's Hall projects, it is proposed that the actual execution of all North
American office development projects will be managed by TDC. However, this is a
matter which is deserving of further discussion (including in relation to the
role, if any, to be played by the JBG development group in support of
TrizecHahn's office development program).
With respect to development projects in Asia and South America, strategy will be
set by the Chairman of TZH, the President of TZH and the President of TDC,
acting in consultation with the Steering Committee and, for Asia, the Managing
Director of TrizecHahn Asia Pacific ("TH Asia Pacific"). The identification of
development opportunities in Asia will be the responsibility of TH Asia Pacific.
The evaluation of those opportunities will be a cooperative effort between TH
Asia Pacific and TDC (and, where appropriate, staff drawn from TH Office). For
Asian projects which move to the execution phase, TDC will become directly
responsible.
Through the Steering Committee, TDC will participation decisions regarding the
organization and implementation of TrizecHahn's South American program. The
extent to which TDC will be called upon to participate in or take responsibility
for the identification, evaluation or execution of development opportunities in
South America will be determined in response to the circumstances encountered as
the investigative process in South America proceeds. Among the factors which
will affect TDC's role in South America is the extent to which TrizecHahn is
successful in either acquiring or establishing close relationships with South
American companies with independent development capabilities.
With respect to development opportunities in Europe, TDC's role is expected to
be limited to consultation to the extent requested by TrizecHahn Europe or by
the Chairman or President of TZH.

Dear Xxx:
Further to our recent discussions on your compensation package, I would like to
confirm the following amendments to the applicable sections of your Employment
Agreement.
1. Annual Base Salary/Cost of Living Allowance (COLA)
While your current annual base salary of $672,000 will remain unchanged, other
than future merit and/or CPI adjustments, you will receive a supplemental Cost
of Living Allowance (COLA) in the annualized amount of $228,000. Please note,
this special supplement to your base compensation will not be factored into the
calculation of incentive bonus awards or salary-driven employment
benefit/insurance entitlements, however it will be subject to an appropriate
annual CPI adjustment. The effective date of the supplemental COLA will be
retroactive to July 1, 2000.
An Annual Bonus for the year 2000 will be paid on January 3, 2001 in an amount
equal to 50% of the total Annual Base Salary paid to you during the year 2000.
2. Relocation Award
A one-time award of $800,000 is to be granted by way of forgiveness of that
portion of the loan provided by TrizecHahn Corporation to you to assist with the
purchase of your home in Los Angeles. As consideration for the extra costs of
your move, an additional $400,000 has been drawn under that loan as of September
21, 2000.
The partial loan forgiveness referred to above will become effective upon the
sale of your St. Louis residence in the event of such loss.

3. Incentive Award for Desert Passage/Year 2000 Bonus
As recognition of the success of Desert Passage, the Incentive Award for this
project will be earned and, as I previously indicated to you, paid by November
30, 2000.
The Award is $1,293,600, which reflects the contractually agreed award of
$1,200,000 adjusted per the original agreement by the CPI increase of 7.8% from
July 1997 to July 2000.
An additional Incentive Award of $500,000 will be paid for the Desert Passage
project upon closing of the sale of all or a majority interest in this asset.
4. Future Incentive Awards
The Incentive Award for the Hollywood & Highland project will be paid when and
if the return on cost is reasonably anticipated to achieve 12%, which is the
return originally approved by the Development Committee. A supplemental award
doubling this project's Incentive Award will be paid when and if the return on
cost on this project is reasonably anticipated to achieve 13.5 %.
The Hollywood Hotel project is acknowledged to be a separate Incentive Project,
and an Incentive Award will be paid for it when the return on equity is
reasonably anticipated to achieve 11.3%, which is the return originally approved
by the Development Committee. A supplemental award doubling this project's
Incentive Award will be paid when and if the internal rate of return (IRR) on
this project is reasonably anticipated to achieve 17%.
The Incentive Award for the Paseo Colorado project will be paid when and if the
return on cost is reasonably anticipated to achieve 10.9%, which is the return
originally approved by the Development Committee, or at an earlier date upon
closing of a sale of this project so long as if a reasonable portion of the
project's anticipated development profit is achieve thereby.
5. Term
The term of Employment Agreement will be extended by one year to August 15,
2003, in order to help realize the full value of our investments.
Yours truly,
TrizecHahn Corporation
