                          AFFIDAVIT OF KEITH R. PAULEY

COUNTY OF BALTIMORE )
                    ) ss.:
STATE OF MARYLAND   )

         Keith R. Pauley, being duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

     1. I am a Managing Director and the Chief Investment Officer of LaSalle
Investment Management (Securities), L.P. ("LaSalle"). I make this affidavit
based upon personal knowledge and in support of plaintiffs' motion for a
preliminary injunction. LaSalle is a real estate investment manager that
primarily invests in the securities of Real Estate Investment Trusts and real
estate operating companies. LaSalle currently has approximately $3 billion in
assets under management.

     2. LaSalle has been a shareholder of Taubman Centers, Inc. ("TCI") since
approximately 1993. LaSalle currently owns approximately 2.3 million shares of



                                      A1547

common stock of TCI. This represents approximately 4.5% of the outstanding
common stock of TCI.

     3. On February 13, 2003, LaSalle tendered 2,178,488 shares of TCI common
stock into the all cash offer made by Simon Property Group, Inc. and Westfield
America, Inc. to purchase all outstanding shares of TCI common stock for $20 per
share.

     4. LaSalle's decision to tender was not dictated by any internal policies
or preexisting rules. Rather, our decision to tender was because: a) LaSalle
believes the $20 per share tender offer represents an attractive price to exit
our investment in TCI and b) LaSalle is eager to encourage the TCI board and TCI
management to explore strategic alternatives in order to maximize the value of
TCI shares.
