Mr. Heath R. Fear
[Address]
Dear Heath,
On behalf GGP Inc., I am pleased to confirm an offer of employment on the terms summarized below:
Position: You will be a regular, full-time employee of GGPLP REIT Services, LLC (together, with all
of GGP’s subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company” or “GGP”), based at GGP’s Chicago office. You

that you have discussed with Sandeep, and such other duties as the Company may from time to
time specify.
Start Date: You will start working at GGP on November 6, 2017 or such other date acceptable to
you and the Company, and your title will be Executive Vice President, Finance. Upon the earlier of
(i) the effective date of the formal resignation of the current Chief Financial Officer or (ii) March 1,
2018, your title will become Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer.
Base salary: Your gross bi-weekly base salary will be $28,846.15 (less taxes and withholdings), which
is equivalent to an annual gross salary of $750,000.
Incentive Compensation:1 Upon hire, you will be eligible to participate in the Plan. For 2017, your
Target Award Opportunity is 80% of your base salary (less taxes and withholdings), which amount
shall not be prorated. Effective January 1, 2018, your Target Award Opportunity is 100% of your
base salary (less taxes and withholdings). In all cases, eligibility to participate in the Plan does not
guarantee that you will receive an Annual Award Payment at all or of any specified amount. Receipt
of an Annual Award Payment is based on a combination of your and the Company's performance,
other terms and conditions provided for in the Plan, and Board approval. As applicable, the Annual
Award Payment Date is determined at the Board’s discretion and takes place no later than March 31
of the year following the Measurement Period.
Initial Equity Award: On your first day of employment, the Company shall grant you shares of GGP
common stock valued at $1,650,000, less the value of any RPAI equity beneficially owned by you

(if not a trading day, using the closing price of the immediately preceding trading day), which shall
be subject to the terms described below, the terms of the award agreement, and the terms and
conditions set forth in the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (“Restricted Stock”). Seventy-five
percent (75%) of the Restricted Stock shall vest in four equal installments on each of the first four
anniversaries of the grant date. The remaining 25% of the Restricted Stock shall be subject to
performance metrics to be identified and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and, if such
1 Capitalized terms used in this section have the same meaning as in the Amended and Restated
General Growth Properties, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan dated May 15, 2014 (the “Plan”).

performance goals are achieved, shall vest in four equal installments on each of the first four

understanding that your employment by the Company will not violate or be restricted by any non-
competition or other restrictive covenants or agreements with another party. If this is not the case,
please let me know immediately.
Non-Cause Termination. If you are terminated without cause at any time during your employment with
the Company, provided you sign and do not revoke a separation agreement that will include a full
general release of claims in favor of the Company and appropriate restrictive covenants, you will receive
a severance payment equal to a full year of your then current base salary, plus a prorated bonus
calculated as of the date of termination and based on the most recently received Annual Award
Payment. The benefits of this paragraph are intended to be exclusive; no further severance or
separation payments shall be due to you pursuant to any other Company policy or program.
Pre-Employment and Background Checks and Policies: As you know, this employment offer is
contingent upon successful completion of pre-employment reference and background checks as well
as the completion of all necessary documents. You will receive an email from CARCO (the
Company’s background check vendor) containing a link that will allow you to complete all of your
pre-hire/new-hire paperwork and initiate the background check. In addition, GGP may, at its
discretion (subject to your consent where required by law) make continued employment subject to
completion of background, reference and criminal record checks. You also are required as a
condition of your employment to abide by GGP’s policies and procedures (as in effect or amended)
throughout your tenure with the Company, including but limited to, the GGP Code of Conduct.
