SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CONTINUING OFFER

         For  valuable  consideration,  the  receipt  and  sufficiency  of which
Taubman Centers,  Inc., a Michigan  corporation  (the "Company"),  acknowledges,
effective  as of May 16,  2000,  the Company  hereby  amends and restates in its
entirety the Company's offer (as amended and restated,  this "Continuing Offer")
to each  Initial  Offeree (as  defined  below) and each  Designated  Offeree (as
defined below) to exchange any or all  Partnership  Interests (as defined below)
or Rights (as defined below) owned by each such person in exchange for shares of
Common Stock (as defined  below) upon the terms and  conditions set forth below.
This Continuing  Offer  supersedes a similar offer  originally made November 30,
1992, which such offer was amended and restated in its entirety  effective as of
September 30, 1997. The purpose of amending and restating this Continuing  Offer
is to make  technical  revisions  to  accurately  reflect the impact of the 1998
reorganization described as follows:

         A.  On  September   23,  1998,   the  Company's   principal   operating
partnership,  The Taubman Realty Group Limited  Partnership,  a Delaware limited
partnership  ("TRG") formed two limited  liability  companies (the  "Companies")
pursuant to the Delaware Limited  Liability Company Act and, in exchange for all
of the  membership  interests  in  each  of the  Companies,  contributed  to the
Companies all of its right, title, and interest in and to certain of its assets,
subject to certain liabilities.

         B. On September 30, 1998, TRG distributed  TRG's entire interest in the
Companies  to  GMPTS  Limited   Partnership   ("GMPTS"),   a  Delaware   limited
partnership, in redemption of GMPTS's entire interest in TRG.

         The  Company  now  wishes to amend and  restate  in its  entirety  this
Continuing  Offer,  to reflect the redemption of GMPTS's entire  interest in TRG
and certain related changes made to the Partnership  Agreement  (defined below).
The  Company has  determined  that this  modification  of the prior offer is not
adverse to the offerees of such prior offer.

of record of shares of Common Stock.

         3.       Acceptance for Payment and Payment for  Partnership  Interests

a

                                       5


properly  tendered  Right).  Each  Offeree  tendering  outstanding   Partnership
Interests  (but not  Rights)  shall pay to the  Company on the  Settlement  Date
(defined below), in cash, an amount equal to the sum of (a) minus (b), where (a)
equals the number of tendered Units of Partnership  Interest (excluding Units of
Partnership  Interest in respect of tendered Rights) multiplied by the Company's
then-current  per  share  quarterly  dividend,  and (b)  equals  the  amount  of
distributions  (as  determined by the Company)  that the Company can  reasonably
expect to receive from TRG under  Section  5.2(a) of the  Partnership  Agreement
with  respect  to  the  tendered  Units  of  Partnership  Interest  between  the
Settlement Date and the next record date for the Company's quarterly dividend on
the Common  Stock.  The Company  will  purchase  and pay for  properly  tendered
Partnership  Interests or Rights on the date (the "Settlement Date") that is the
later  of:  (i) the  expiration  of three  Business  Days from the date that the
Company  receives  the tender of the  Partnership  Interests or Rights in proper
form and  meeting  all of the  requirements  of this  Continuing  Offer (or such
shorter period that is the then prevailing  settlement  period for trades on the
New York Stock Exchange),  and (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting
period  applicable to each tender,  if any, under the HSR. The Company agrees to
use its best  efforts  to  obtain an early  termination  of the  waiting  period
applicable to each tender, if any, under HSR.  Furthermore,  each tender and the
issuance of Common Stock with  respect  thereto will be subject to any change in
securities or other  applicable law imposing limits or conditions on such tender
or the  issuance  of Common  Stock with  respect to such  tender.  In all cases,
payment  for the  Partnership  Interests  or Rights  tendered  pursuant  to this
Continuing  Offer will be made only after  timely  receipt by the Company of the
Partnership Interest Certificate or a copy of the agreement evidencing the grant
of the Rights,  together  with  evidence of exercise and payment with respect to
the exercise, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal,  and
any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.

         Notwithstanding   the  foregoing,   the  maximum  number  of  Units  of
Partnership Interest that a person listed on Schedule B to this Continuing Offer
(each, a "Restricted Offeree") may tender under this Continuing Offer during any
90 day period with respect to outstanding Partnership Interests Actually held or
Constructively  or  Beneficially  Owned by such Offeree (but excluding from this
restriction all Units of Partnership Interest in respect of Incentive Options or
Rights  Actually held by such Offeree)  shall not exceed the number of shares of
Common  Stock that such Offeree  would be entitled to sell under Rule  144(e)(1)
under the Act,  assuming that at the time of each sale during such 90 day period
such Restricted  Offeree is an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144(a)(1)) of the
Company.

         Under no  circumstances  will interest be paid by the Company by reason
of any delay in making such  issuance  of shares of Common  Stock as a result of
the conditions set forth in the preceding or following paragraph.

         Except as provided below, the Company will use its best efforts to have
and  maintain  an  effective  registration  statement  under the Act so that the
Company's  issuance of the shares of Common Stock under this Continuing Offer or
the resale of such shares by an Offeree who is not an "affiliate" (as defined in
Rule 144(a)(1) under the Securities Act) of the Company will be registered under
the Act;  however,  the  Company  shall  not be  required  to  maintain  such an
effective  registration  statement  for the  use of the  persons  identified  on
Schedule B to this Continuing  Offer.  Anything in this Continuing  Offer to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to accept any tender
or issue any Common  Stock at any time if to do so would cause any  violation of
the Act or the Exchange Act or any applicable blue sky or other state securities
or real estate syndication laws.


                                       6


         4.       Procedure for Tendering Partnership Interests or Rights.

         Subject to the  conditions  set forth in this  Continuing  Offer,  each
tendering  Initial  Offeree  or  Designated   Offeree  may  tender  any  or  all
Partnership  Interests  or Rights owned by such  Initial  Offeree or  Designated
Offeree by  delivering  to the Company,  at 200 East Long Lake Road,  Suite 300,
Bloomfield  Hills,  Michigan  48304 (or such other  address as the Company shall
provide in writing to each Initial Offeree and Designated  Offeree), a completed
and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and any other documents  required by the
Letter of  Transmittal.  Each tendering  Initial  Offeree or Designated  Offeree
shall  simultaneously  deliver to TRG,  at 200 East Long Lake  Road,  Suite 300,
Bloomfield Hills,  Michigan 48304 (or such other address as TRG shall provide in
writing to each  Initial  Offeree or  Designated  Offeree),  a copy of such duly
executed Letter of Transmittal and any other documents required by the Letter of
Transmittal.

         If a Transfer  Determination  shall not have already  been  obtained or
deemed obtained by the tendering  Initial  Offeree or Designated  Offeree at the
time of the tender  (i.e.,  at the time of receipt by the Company of a Letter of
Transmittal),  then TRG (within three  Business Days of receipt by TRG of a copy
of a Letter of Transmittal from an Initial Offeree or Designated  Offeree) shall
provide,  if it is able to then provide  pursuant to the Partnership  Agreement,
each such  Person  and the  Company  with a Transfer  Determination.  A Transfer
Determination  will be deemed to have been  provided if not refused by a writing
delivered  to the  Company and each  applicable  Initial  Offeree or  Designated
Offeree  within  such  three  Business  Day  period.  If an  Initial  Offeree or
Designated Offeree (i) is refused a Transfer Determination, such Person shall be
deemed to have  withdrawn  the tender in its entirety or (ii) receives a limited
Transfer  Determination,  such  Person  shall be deemed to have  withdrawn  such
amount of  Partnership  Interests  or Rights as is necessary in order to satisfy
the limited Transfer Determination.

         Unless an exception  applies under applicable law and regulations,  the
Company  will be required to  withhold,  and will  withhold,  31% (or such other
amount as subsequent  law may require) of the gross proceeds  (including  dollar
equivalent  of shares of Common  Stock) paid to a tendering  Initial  Offeree or
Designated  Offeree pursuant to this Continuing Offer unless the Initial Offeree
or  Designated  Offeree  provides  his  tax   identification   number  (employer
identification  number or Social Security Number) and certifies that such number
is  correct.  Unless  such  an  exception  exists  and  is  proved  in a  manner
satisfactory  to the  Company,  each  tendering  Initial  Offeree or  Designated
Offeree  should,  therefore,  complete and sign the main  signature  form on the
Letter of Transmittal  and sign the Substitute  Form W-9 included as part of the
Letter of  Transmittal,  so as to  provide  the  information  and  certification
necessary to avoid backup withholding.

         The tender of Partnership Interests or Rights pursuant to the foregoing
will  constitute a binding  agreement  between the tendering  Initial Offeree or
Designated  Offeree and the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions
of this Continuing  Offer and will not be subject to withdrawal or change except
as provided in Section 2 or this Section 4 of this Continuing Offer.

         All questions as to the validity and form of any tender of  Partnership
Interests or Rights will be  determined  in the sole  discretion of the Company,
which determination shall be final and binding.

         5.       Rights as a Partner.

         Until  the  Settlement   Date,  each  tendering   Initial  Offeree  and
Designated  Offeree shall  continue to own his respective  tendered  Partnership
Interests  or  Rights,  and will  continue  to be  treated as the holder of such
tendered  Partnership  Interests or Rights for all  purposes of the  Partnership
Agreement,  including,  without  limitation,  for  purposes of voting,  consent,
allocations and distributions (subject only to reasonable

                                       7


accounting  conventions adopted by TRG for purposes of determining the partners'
varying  percentage  interests  in  TRG  during  the  taxable  year).   Tendered
Partnership  Interests  will be  transferred to the Company only upon receipt by
the tendering Initial Offeree or Designated Offeree of shares of Common Stock in
payment in full therefor.

         6.       Covenants of TRG.

         In  addition  to  its  obligations  contained  in  Section  4  of  this
Continuing  Offer,  TRG agrees to promptly  notify the Company in writing of the
name of each holder of an Incentive Option who becomes a holder of Rights.

         7.       Miscellaneous.

                  (a)  This  Continuing  Offer shall be governed in all respects
by the laws of the State of Michigan.

                  (b)  This  Continuing  Offer  and the  Letter  of  Transmittal
